A Shared Sadness
Jace Albine Jan 2021
If misery loves company
Then Hell adores it.
Still I search for the best

The Moment is Nigh
Jace Albine May 2021
Every moment you spend dwelling on regrets
Is another regret you’re going to get
Make the best of right now
And forget about the rest

Yet Another Poem
Jace Albine May 2023
I'd say I'm too young
To feel so much pain

But only if I wasn't
Just old enough
Here's to our next love

Smiles of Peace
Jace Albine May 2022
I lie in bed at night
And think

What angel could have brought you to me?

But the only angel
Is the angel that I see

Laying beside me

Fast a sleep

Smiling In peace

Tilted towards the sunset

I watch the lonely day die

Notes are a Funny Thing
Jace Albine Jun 2023
We are all marking the moments
Of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions

In notations
du(al)ly noted
Jace Albine Oct 2023
Without it

I turn my back

And live

The Sorrow of Love
Jace Albine May 2022
When it all calls
But no one is present to answer
Because they're fast asleep
Within their beds of blissful ignorances
As time gently closes the door
On their smiling countenances
Forever within the peace
Of their love's slumbering hearts

If I have forever to edit

It’s always going to be perfect—imperfectly.

The Alchemy of Language
Jace Albine Feb 2021
base metal to gold
mission has been accomplished
the story is told
A haiku well undersold
Jace Albine Jul 2023
Were you there?

I know I was

And I think I saw you too

Why did you shy away from me?

Why would I do the same thing too?

There's not much that I ask of you

But when you try to **** me

I can't help but to feel the innate need to vocalize my extreme displeasure

Almost all of the Time
Jace Albine Jun 2023
When trying to rationalize
All of existence

Into a few cliché phrases

We'd fail

Almost all,

All things present may look their own ways
But they can’t deny existence within their beings

Sometimes

In this life

There are beautiful moments

Other times

We forget about it

The only question
That remains

Is what adventure
Are you on?

I'm Incapable of Love
Jace Albine Jun 2021
The idea I get.
The sensations are lost.
Maybe there will be a time in the future
Where I don't feel so crossed.

Together
Jace Albine Jan 2022
Together we will swim through the river of sadness
Until it turns us into madness

We will look into each other's eyes

Feeding each other
Each others lies

There will be no more tears to be cried

No longer tears to be dried

In this world of bliss
We could live

Together

Together
We will be
Together
Forever

But nigh

We will together be

Forever in

Our
Love's
Greatness's
Eye's

It was never lost on me,
Exept
When I wasn’t looking for it. . .
And don’t get me started on the “M”

Best Wishes
Jace Albine Mar 2021
When you wish someone illy
You waste the wish to wish well on yourself
Or perhaps someone you love
Jace Albine Jul 2023
People like selfishness

Because it reminds them of themselves
Do you know why they like selflessness?

Because they've felt pain

Edit sober
Jace Albine Jun 2020
(written drunk)

I rather turn into a bouquet of flowers then a basket of roses...

If that means anything to you then do what ever you will do.

Smiley.

Playing off of Shakespeare seems to be the case...

I don't know you.
You don't know me.

"I" Which I often said in life.

I’m in awe that I can not write fast enough for me to ask a question within myself, but on my thoughts they will be.

I'm just a remembrance of me that I'm trying to describe at a later time, but isn't that how it feels all the time?

Living in a moment just so later we can watch that moment unwind.

I wonder, when will time look me up?

Is it just inside of a thought--just within this dream; my own mind?

Reality plays coy when it must and a wild current when it wills itself to be.

But still this is real.

Looking above the fences of offences to try to see the luscious garden on the other side; the mind that gets filtered through the soul so as to put circumstances to the side and say what "I" really mean.

I'm me and I know what I mean and as I write me to know me I become me to explain it to me, and of me, to get to the meaning of what it truly means to be an I.
Does it ever feel like, to you, that you’re just a living memory?

For they are all that you will remember

From when you awake

To when you go to sleep
Asleep's

All That We Have is Belief

It shouldn't be hard ?

You already exist

And that's already

Past your means


Do you know what I mean?

The World’s Wide Web
Jace Albine Mar 2021
Internet usage is like a labyrinth
That leads your mind’s consciousness
Through its projections.

Stimulating,
Yes,
But nevertheless,
One can hardly resist getting lost
Within its intellectual maze.

Can it be used for beneficial means?
It would be near impossible
To find one who’d disagree.

But choose wisely,
You see,
For what entertains
Posthastes
Life’s wastes.

Know when to disconnect,
Or you may find
You spent your entire life’s time
Lost within its never ending
Vortex of distractions.

You’ll become
Just another one
Of the Spider’s flies.

A victim
Caught
Within the World’s Wide Web.

Turning on a Dime
Jace Albine Jun 2023
Like any other turn

You can get off where ever you'd like

Sometimes that is

Wherever,

Ever,

It starts
Jace Albine Jul 2022
“Get to the back!”

Or so they say.

“Now’s not your time to die.”

But I’m not going to lie,

I quite like the freedom of thought.

Even if they might be right...

Time, Lay Down Our Arms
Jace Albine May 2022
Eventually we all have to cease to fight
And the struggles of this life,
In all ways,
Leads to a peaceful night

Whether experienced within our days,
Or within our deaths
Time, lay down our arms
Until there's nothing else un-left
Jace Albine Jul 2023
(For Sure Sure)

Oh, I can see it. . .

You can see it?

Are you for sure?

I'm for sure sure.

I could see it
flickering
and shimmering
in the building's
mirrored facade. . .

When it was going off.


'Got to get there fast!
Based on a true story
Jace Albine Mar 2021
Who’s speaking the truth
When everyone is saying
something different?
Inward wisdom

The Island Man
Jace Albine Feb 2021
In relation only to himself
knows only what he can
Or what he thinks he can
Knot
He ties and a boars his prize
The hide
The island man
Has no fear to feast
No rain drops trickle for thirst's being to subside
The island man only has space to confide
Is technology up to its *****?
Does the island mind have enough for needs to be met?
Is there a need yet for island man to have not yet got?
Should island man go and get?
Island man looks for the stars
When he finds them all
Island man knows that they were never really that far
He looks back down on the clouds
And the effervescent ocean that houses his house
Island man finds himself at home
With all the other island people who love him so

For Fook’s Sake
Jace Albine Feb 2021
Words are at our command to express meanings as we see fit.

In censoring words we are no longer in command of them,
but they are of us.
Not being able to use all words is like not being able to paint with all the colours available.

Then be too afraid in life

To do

Anything.

Compelled
Jace Albine May 2023
You don't have to be
Better than the last

You just have to be

I love it when you are
Who you are

And not when you are
Pretending to be
What you are not
As a human being
Being

It is what you are meant to be

No matter what you do

Or do not

You can't deny the fact

That you are a life

And a live

At that

The Flag Yearnings
Jace Albine Mar 2021
Every time someone waves a flag
They don’t understand what they are actually of

And maybe that’s enough
Maybe that’s just enough
I could pull my hair out for every mistake
I could realize how mankind has been taught what they know
But I rather not go bald over what beseeches.

Life’s Little Ordinances
Jace Albine May 2021
As I live my life
I have come to realize
That the growing pains

Never stop

But with each new plateau I’ve reached
There comes a subtle reprieve
And a newly gained perspective
(Over all things)
Jace Albine Sep 2019
O, champion of words

O, wisdom of gab

speak thy savory terms

of sultry endearment that makes the poet blush

and thine fairness lust

over syllables that consonants and vowels equate

so that the uneven can lie flush

and the plain can run straight

yet,

over the course of mounds of flesh

the burden stills

that within a heart,

or be it brain,

can beat and remember thrills

some left in time

and some do have weight

that over the hills

can be

the end of my commiserate

I don’t want to go to heaven
And I don’t want to go to hell.

In her arms,

But I know that
