Holy ******* ****.
Are you ******* kidding me?
****, ****, ****, ****, ****.
John F Pinto Dec 2012
If smile is crime
Then no other felony
I'd rather do time

I cannot contain
What I want to say to you
In these syllables
John F Pinto Nov 2012
The more you talk,
The more you lie.
Keep your words
In your mouth.
Didn't your mother
Teach you to chew before you speak?
You are all the same.
John F Pinto Nov 2012
It’s funny.
You can scream and shout
Until your throat runs dry.

But people
Will scream and shout
“We never knew!” the day you die.

An anchor
Is among the worst things to Be.
While you ground everyone,
You are not free.
You will sink,
And no one will see.

As a maze is to the eye, I am to all. Winding and wearing, my walls impossibly tall. Here, turns are the
Words
and dead ends the Actions. Spirals are the days, and red herrings, my                                                                  ­                                                 Attractions.                                                                  ­                                                                 ­                      With each
                                                            ­                                                         Who dare
                                                            ­                                                  Enter,
        ­                                                                 ­                   Two Paths
                                                           ­                  They All
                                                             ­   Choose.
                                       One abandons
                       All Hope
   The Other,
Nothing
To Lose.
But none have made the journey,
                                     none to the
                                            core.
              For all who enter,
                                           leave and say
           "no more! no more!"
                     Here I have planted this garden that others accuse a maze.
                                                                ­                                                  A beautiful           creation covered by haze. But all that is seen is monstrous,
                                                          a trick of the daze.
Months and years at the center have been all of my stays.
Here I will watch and wait for the One who makes it, and is amazed.
                                                                ­                                              By all I have built, all I have dreamed and every aspiration and desperation has seemed
                                    to build this
                                                             wonderful,
                                                              wandering
                                                                ­  place.
                                                  You who hear my case,
                                              I invite you to take that space.
              Be the One who makes it, leave all others to be commonplace.
