Creation is beyond words

O me, oh my

The scent of burning sandalwood
beside the people’s transcribe

Not a care is given
By the by and by

Good god
Bad god

Sometimes it’s felt like more than enough

Doors are closing
Faster then you think

Move swiftly
Life’s a briefly drifting breath

And to all those who have believed
I’m more than enough assured of

Everly after’s awe-inspired day

In a Poet’s Dream
Jace Albine Dec 2021
In a poet’s dream
The words dance amongst the emotions seams,
As we peer through the cracks
Of the starlights silver screens imageries

The imaginations quarrel through all possibilities

Our mind’s pick roses until the thorns make our fingers bleed

And with that blood
We spell out
All that we have seen

When we did Look,

Perhaps to some,

A little too deep within the phrases of our light’s realities

And when we all awake to find
The poet dreaming
With worlds behind
The poems beloved verses
For our love’s divine

I can only pray thee
That the poets sublime requiem
Is not left all alone
Within the poet’s

Lonely

Mind.

Disenchanted
Jace Albine Feb 2021
If they call it freedom
But then they say
That if we don’t believe in their name
They’ll take it away

What kind of freedom is that to fear?

I would be unafraid

People go their whole lives
Wasting away for imaginary causes

What a shame it would be to find out it’s not real...

Or not

At least then the healing could start

People waste so much of their lives
As if indebted to the after life
That they miss out entirely on this life

Their actual very being’s existence

Don’t be a fool for someone who miss guides you
Open up your eyes to the world before you

For that is real

That is the true gift

The mind’s imagination is a powerful thing

It’s made up and has passed along side ourselves

Evolving along with us as we go

Generation to generation

And within our very own minds to mold

I choose to be someone who tries to understand

I rather be outcast for telling the truth,
As I’ve come to know it,
Then go along pretending I believe in false claims, imaginations, hallucinations, delusions, or unwarranted beliefs

But really I would rather just be understood

Perception is where one stands and observes

People are indeed a strange creature amongst all things

Be careful who you have faith in

They can only give you their version of reality

(If it’s even their’s to begin with)

Eventually we all have to make our own minds up

Fall back on programming

Or stand up for who we

Really,

Truly,

Are

People are Ignorant
Jace Albine Jan 2021
They don’t know everything about everything
And they aren’t everyone.

They are only who they are.

I wonder if they even know who that is?

Do you know who you are?

I think I know who I am,
I mean,
Sometimes I’m even thinking about it.

Most other times I’m thinking about something else entirely.

But I will never think I know you like you do.

How could anyone judge anyone else?

When they can’t even consider every last drop of reality down to it’s existence?
People are ignorant
And that I can live with
And that I can accept

Jace Albine Mar 2021
Inside the minds eye we think to ourselves
Outside everything all at once
In life I came to understand the simplest things
In the most complex way that I could imagine

The body knows to breath
Life knows how to be
I am amongst it all
Inside
Outside
And forever

With these hands I hold the flame
An old joke dies
And in its wake
Births quietly
Acupunctured skin folds flap and flew
Ventriloquists budding
A hairy dog
Grass masked the mane of the dandelions roar
A powerful broad sweeping stroke off a solitary water painters pen
Insects burrowing in the garden
A whisper of somebody worshiping the gods that they were told to know
Easily finding meaning within a limited scope
Equity
Equality
The ****-fest of mankind
And our limited ability to perceive the entirety of it all

I do recall
The words that I’ve used

Electric flesh
I am
And so are you

And to each other

We present

Our edited lives

Gentle Reminders
Jace Albine Jan 2022
Is it desperation?

Is it loneliness?

I say nigh.

I still have the patients left to hear the excuses.
I oblige.

Will it satisfy?
Will I be able to see through the lies?

My hot head can't acquit.

I set forth an hour to find the time,
But I don't know any longer why I try.

Why I try so hard and yet I still cannot find.

If it is not me then let it be known.

If tragedy is a gift with in time then who am I to judge?

Will I be used to one another's ends?

My mother can attest to the fact that I will not give in.

If it's serious then I must see.

If its just forgotten along with me amongst it all
And all others who have ever been
Then not enough attention will be given without.

When I speak to you
I must confess
It was the highlight of some of my days that were well spent.

I can't be you and I'm not the same.

Even Cinderella must revert back into her old ways
Before she can accept a great change.

I could give a dream that would have any other dream be dreamt,
But if the dream doesn't include me
Then why would I include anyone else alone?

I'd like to find what happens after midnight's moon
Does it alter our reflections back onto ourselves?

If all your friends disregard all that we have spoken
Was it really a man you sought?
Or just a thought,
Another amongst many others
To provoke?

The lot of my friends have said
Why would I give it all away with out an end?

I tried to tell them plain
Because the love that accepts what I am for me is a love that will remain.

And besides everyone I've ever met
I've felt something toward the other one,
But then again
Who am I to say?

For we will all go the same way one day.

And here I interject,
We are all together in this life
Least we forget.

You heard me rehearse over a thousand times,
But most of us are already gone.

Does heavens pitch have to be so strong?

I wonder still where their spirit can be found marching on and on?

I'm well aware when I say the most despicable of things.

I duly gave a warning to them all,
I want to tell a story that still remains.

I try to wake them up.

I will to make them see and believe in how good good can truly be.

I learned very early on freedom is the right for us to say what we wish to say.

Anything that you've ever thought.
Has meaning and every dream within your mind exists with in reality as such.

Maybe some day we will not be able to not explain without being misconstrued.

I cast away the shadows of doubt.

Like a stone that skips until it sinks,
But that's not the bottom of it it all.

It's folded so many times
When will we recall?

And If we don't know freedom
All will go without.

Missing the point
I can't cry enough.

Life is the miracle before language drifts away
I needed more,
But I had less to say.

For there's a difference that you cannot see
Words might hurt,
But the mind can try to cope

And I know that it will
In existence we have been given
Existences skill.

But if you start to **** a part of a being
You will be beckoning and elope the soul as it will,
Which has no filter to tell you where to go

Autonomy

You speak freely amongst it all,
But a promise is unruly broken,
In loves name
To those who love cares not to remain.

You can't **** a child into love.
You can't expect your offspring to be apart of your beliefs
For in giving birth you have created a new being
And if I'm left all alone
I rather be alone from z to a
Or any other language
That a conscious being
Would say.

People have to decide for them selves.
I hope that they can comprehend the factors of human lives that can make them understand.

If I, you and we merge with everything,
Tell them all that it was meant to be.
At least I'd like to believe.
Because without a thought the plot is begot
And if "God" the almighty means for our very beings to have its plans.
Then what would I have to say?
I'm sure it wouldn't matter if it was not,
But yet as I write with my ape like fingers out of my human brain that connects with it all,
That is to say,
I'd like to think that a part of the whole is what I am and If I was not then I wouldn't know what...
But, sure, ******* off
And see my sadness grow.
There's no time left to know and to not know.

There's a new year every day from the last that it was,
But even more pressing still
is that every moment is the moment that we live in and reside.

The scars of the past show our times time.
Sure it could be true,
But from the place that I sit I can still find a way to heal.

A way that is new.
I wish that people knew I could write good things too even if I was deprived of love.

There are no last words here
Only understanding
Jace Albine Feb 2021
They Built up their metropolises
Their hives
Forged through generations
And on the back of spent lives

Their very bones now a part of the structures
Remaining within their concrete tombs

Why?

Just so we can get fat and watch television?

Follow the paths that they have carved for us?

To create and build what we want,
If we’re lucky?

And what we’re forced to,
For very little pay or compensation,
If we’re not?

To sell our very life blood?

No, it’s not the artists that have sold their souls

That’s a great big lie
To make you too afraid to be free

To live and enjoy life as you please

That’s what they would have you believe

And so they danced with the forest children
Until they got bored and wanted to make something new

Something big

Something they could live inside

The cycle restarts

And it didn’t restart just for a single man

Or one

Or even a few

It restarted as a concept

It restarted as a reality far beyond the grasps of an intellect

Like a universal calling
But without knowing what number
You were going to get next

It burns in the fires of Babylon
down to the river Ganges
and bleeding onwards into the Styx

Where the flood of the Nile
Turns and bores it’s way backwards

It could be on any planet

In the dream of any species conscious enough to care

It could be made amongst the stars

It could be in the malls and the parking lots filled with your cars

It could be in the vessels of the unknown and in between times

It could be a flash in the pan

Or it could last a life span

That it was here at all
That was the point

It travels upwards and onwards

And to and fro

It has no concept of stop

It only wants to evolve as it grows and grows

It’s there and it’s us

It’s apart and it dissolves

To be one and to be all

Or to be none and nothing

That’s the question that our fears are quick to resolve

Looking into it
Until you cannot look away

That’s the madness that keeps people slaves

The cycle is never really the same

It’s more like a spiral that knows where it’s been

And to do this dance of life

I would do it all over again

And I’m sure that I will
Just for the thrill

After all this time
I can’t help but wonder still

Where it all will be found. . .

And so it will be
Just as it’s been before

Back into the forest they’ll go
To live in their never ending homes

Becoming the children

That they used to know
Jace Albine Jun 2022
Worry about what I have to say

What it’s like to be

You’ll make it up

As I’m assured...

Or not

Who?

Who honestly?

Who honestly doesn’t disagree?

Have we ever given the patients too?

Don’t speak uneasy about

The moments silence

that silence that has never gone unspoken

Without all that we are

As we’ve never been

But as that we exist

I still have my doubts...

As we should go

Go

As we are

We are

With

Or

Without
But honestly undefinable

A perfect person
In a perfect world
On a perfect day

A perfect life
Lived in a perfect way
While thinking of something perfect to say

A perfect mess
Held in the perfect caress
When perfect-less-ness had it's best

A shadow falls on the stable mass
Light waves beaming in
The eyes dilate to see

What ever does the dream dream?

The flow follows the whole

Another perfect gathering upon the perfect soul

Why do they hurt each other so
If love is all that they've known?

I see the sight begin to focus
In the light of another who has spoken

There's perfect

And then there's

Perfectly broken
Jace Albine Nov 2021
Countries are like religions

They are all make believe
And I don’t believe in them equally

When people fail to have reverence for all existence’s existence
That is when they have failed in their faiths deliverances
All living things are delusional
Thankfully science supersedes conscious intervention

That is where the truth lies
That is where universal understanding will be found

Is what it isn't

Ambiguity

Or so they say

They say a lot of things

But what is real?

Other than what is beyond What we are?

The thing I looked for

The host

It's there
And it knows what there is

And what there isn't

It's beyond a scope

Or a scopes scope

It's like the holy ghost

It knows
And it knows the most's mosts

Everything goes by

In the blink of an eye's eye

I will never not wonder
Why's why

Even when I know

Because

Much like life

I've loved it

For ever

For wanting

To be

Alive

Jace Albine Nov 2021
When the blade is touching the skin
And you can feel it digging in,

And one cut is all that it would take
To remove yourself from this worldly place,

I hear the angel cry out to me;
Not yet ready for me to wake up and see.

After this dark night’s dream,
Where I have a restless sleep,

I’m still walking along the grounds to find
All that will be found within due time.

But one day,
Not too far from now,

I know I will begin again to plea,
“Why, oh why, can I not be free?”

So in my mind I go beneath the weeping willow tree
Where I rest my thoughts internally.

Alone,
And with nothing more,
Other than the over content meadow
And the infinitely brilliant
Everlasting
Shore.

Could you love me for a day?
Could you play pretend?
Could you act as if our love will have no bitter end?

Could you love me for a day?
And then go away
never to see me again?

Could you love me for one day?
Like we're the only two
swimming through eternities blue?

Could you love me for a day?
And then when you awake
get dressed and forget my name?

Could you love me for a day?
Knowing that that moment will last forever,
in that time, and in that place?

Could you love me for a day?
Could you give me that piece of mind?
And I will try to be there when we die.

Could you love me for a day?
Kiss my eyes
and make me believe it's going to be okay?

Could you love me for a day?
Could you love me in just that way?

Could you love me for a day?
And I will let you escape.

Could you love me for a day?
Without a heart, or a cause to break?

Could you love me for a day?


Could you love me?



Could you. . . ?

Catch and Release
Jace Albine Jul 2023
The greatest catch I've ever found

A life that always wants me around

The greatest release I've ever felt

When I was with my loved ones

Being felt

And forever with my family

That I have had

And built

Never again to grow old

And never again to be lost

Forever known

In eternity

As one who has created

What can't be destroyed

I am a man

Who said

That we can be

And never not be

I am a one

That wants

Existence to appreciate

Itself

And love it forever

As a gift

From God's mouth

To your mouths

To be said

And to say

Should we throw it all away?

I say never

That's a disgrace

We are made in the image

Now act like it

So long have I waited for you

So long have I waited for it to be true

So long have I waited to be too

To do what ever I could do

And a lot of what I will undo

When will you?

See this all through?

Maybe in another life

I'll see you around

But walking this earth

And amongst any other place

On any other day

Like today

Lived in any other way

Maybe one like the many other ones

That I wanted

I will be

Found

In continuum

From here to forever


Forever

I only hope it knows

Remembers

Place

To place

And to be placed
Freedom last forever
