Take It
john p green Jan 2016
I just wanna throw an egg at you now
Cracking open that inner turmoil
So it can spill onto that hot surface
You'll soon know as hardened reality

Uncover
john p green Jan 2016
The sweaty ghost opt to reenter from behind vapor walls creaking back cross forgotten boards

Mesmerized by the fireflies licking the jar dusting magic onto Hendrix sparking guitar

Best continue not a care while drifting thru your sound coma blank eyes straight through ya

So the sun pulls up outa blackened ground every day another city offers a profound sigh

To never rise in the light disrobes each spectre for descent towards its own dusty puddles goodbye

Never..
john p green Jan 2016
Say, "Cancel Me" or "I'm Done."
Less you wanna go. For real!
No taking back.
A stone's throw, a simple one
At that.
No asking a re-try.
Just don't wish yourself away.

Too Late
john p green Jan 2016
I was then lured in by their seduction my intentions drawing me further to learn more of this you see
Masquerading it in the Guise of a dream with slow caresses bringing me to a height I'd never been
As my lips parted I was slow in the head by taking the drag I suddenly felt different and heard "we are in!"
Procrastination is their quill as they scrutinize and ridicule the pages of what I live they likewise feel
I need to break free from my Iron Maiden dipping the quill in my blood to write them back to their cell

Hindsight
john p green Jan 2016
Took ma to the movies
Was in 3D at that
Awesome start to the new year
Till the very next day
And that's when I thought
Sure the movie was great
Afterwards a nice walk
Yet there was a part of it
I took away from her heart
Such a simple plastic wrapper
Meant to protect plastic glasses
Didn't protect itself from me
As I threw both ours away
Now one thing I need mention
Was that neatly tucked in ma's
Insuring safety of a memory
Lay her fresh placed ticket
Just as careful as she put it
She ever slowly pulled it out
Jan 2016 · 726
Yeah
john p green Jan 2016
Simply seeking solace in bouncing thoughts
Feeling warmth in that cold rock
Characterizing an uncharacteristic dribble
Watching it flow with no discourse
Or even disguising a movement to share
A leaf finds its mark now one wagers thought
Dogs bark rattles empty can in alleyway
Moonlight disects that churning in passerbys charts
While blowing winds shift around reason
Heavy hearts languish at the next whistle stop
Many will board to simply stare back
At others who dare when not to park

All children gather energy from the Sacred Tree
Mighty Ceiba your limbs safely cradle the world
So grateful Mother Earth brought
this to be
Wether fireflies flutter as we
dance round
Or mischievous fairies fancy
spontaneity
True instruments are we emitting
pure sound
Offering thanks as our feet stomp
the ground

What the Heck
john p green Dec 2015
Hold on there just a sec
Why don't I give it a ponder?
For you seem to understand
Noticing how I do look yonder

Just another chance to go astray
So should I then look your way?
Go on ahead with that gander
Let's just see, what the heck!

Yet there's no way I can solve it
And mainly due to that presence
Still hiding those pieces from me
Gently lying them at your feet

Have a small favor, do I dare?
When all's finished my I peak?
My hands not meant to unravel
Thanks to you tasks complete

All right, so let's get on with it
See if this justifies that wait
Now quite the impact you leave
Finding out that presence is me!

Efflorescence
john p green Dec 2015
Get your things now gathered
For we will be heading soon

All others will not hear just yet
No make believe just with you

Please throw your javelin forth
May it pierce my energy heart

Knew it when I had first wept
As your eyes jumped into mine

We had clearly merged so deft
Our minds gently intertwined

So let's stop the world for now
Share with all our amazing truth

A solitary blossom we have become
Growing without measure what once
was two

Blemish
john p green Dec 2015
Sure am that same person disdained
Though I've tossed away so called vice
Word spread by many catching a train
No matter the Love, Caring and Dreams
Always striving for nothing more naught
Not from those souls or their pawns
Never a piece on that superficial board
If there were a cast the title would be
To be only harbingers of pure anxiety

Fill Her Up!
john p green Dec 2015
You know I took a tankard
To the cantankerous one

Well that didn't go swell
When she hadn't yet ****

Hadn't yet they bellowed
She hadn't time to start

So do we dibble or dabble
As to whose most smart

In the meanwhile you see
They all let loose a ****

Now the cantankerous one
Smiles as she thus starts

My Day
john p green Dec 2015
Hatred runs deep, Hatred runs true
Wright now there's no helping you
You come like a snake and leave like a mouse
All this time and help you want me out the house
That's fine but end of the day I'll be just fine
Written by Tyler on his 9th birthday.
Self titled.

Never Learn
john p green Dec 2015
2 little doggies won in the fair
Kept in the family many a year

Both cherished and adored
Of course so all could see

Yet one day they took a walk
Not by vain ones but by a crook

Rest assured crook had no fear
Simply smiling at your dispair

Looks like another trip to the fair
Such a facade clutching you near

Branching Out
john p green Dec 2015
Like where you are off to you see
Just the right place for one to be

If there had only been ample notice
You would have with you a novice

For now tis a simple wait it be
Ever patiently under nearby tree

Upon return many blank pages
Will soak in ink from many ages

So athirst for a new awareness
Simply turn please don't digress

Even gone you have been with me
Whole time both sitting under tree

Feeling Lost
john p green Dec 2015
It's like trying to move those beads along faster toward the spiral of an hourglass
To reach that exact moment of knowing, reconciliation in growing together or otherwise
Only in being lost within you could I possibly step outwards offering anything of value
I'll always have that openness to help
us in any guiding way
The only thing I can do is be patient
As far as I know we both want to be together or at least I thought so

mellow Vulture
john p green Dec 2015
My black wingspan can shadow the Sun
Drawing eyes skyward from far below
The light shining off my beautiful bald head
Only reflects darkness for all others enough said
I'm not so special least that's the belief
Soaring patiently just for that moment
An ungracious landing so unlike my flight
Go figure I'm eager just to finally eat
Hopping and chomping hoping nothing draws near
For if something or someone gets too close
No I won't **** on myself that just cools me off
I'll regurgitate, lighten my load, get the hell out of there!
Because not a lick of predator runs through me
Just that big Mellow one, yet do you see?
Reducing final stages of decay effortlessly left behind
No need now at this point to thank me
Simply let me be and ****** stop judging me!

discovery
john p green Dec 2015
Just see for yourself! It's amazing
How can it be? Just how he can see
Only we are supposed to observe,
listen, learn while sharing within
Corresponding seemed absurd
So let's now savor this blessing
He is one to fear then love follows
Truely special who may be the one
We'll gather each eve at windowsill
Once welcomed we slip right on in
Transfer essences, sing night long
Till Dawn must send us shuffling
With that speedy flight along
More of us eagerly gather at night
Always in search we love the right
Must gaurd him, hide from depths
Our being present can jeopardize
This amazing crossing him over
Tis already begun, oh! that speed
One day soon while still in skin
He will map energies eternal song
Eventually singing our souls free
Yet beauty of song stays with he

taking a walk
john p green Dec 2015
Bought me a jigsaw puzzle
Just randomly off the shelf
Price, didn't give a ****
Offered it to passerbys
Maybe one could decipher
And piece themselves whole
Met one who stepped out
So I opened that puzzle
Cut it right down middle
They half and me half
And so we parted our ways
Ya see no matter how close
Just how close fitting them
Always missing or lost one
So why not toss half those
Gives your imagination chance
To never finish letting go
To stop being so stagnate
It will greet you one day
I know

Another Strike?
john p green Dec 2015
In rank darkness an entity from below
at 3 am reaches for me

Never flinching, that black winged one swirls fierce red eyes my way

Crouching hell bent on first procuring flesh and subsequently my soul

Unleashing the inner grimoire to truly seek its unquenchable devices

Believe that its coerced intentions drains its victims weak

Usually triumph rains phasing captured one's soul from *** to death

Slipping undauntedly away failed Incubus next time will better walay

Feel
john p green Nov 2015
Can we take away that unforgotten feel?
Does it necessarily require thought or reason?
For me it's just that simple shot, oh yeah!
Not just from the barrel or a shot to the heart.
This feel, soaked in cleansing pools of sensible care, acts as a harbinger of Autumn and its floating harvest.
The collection of whims is too solemn yet sweet to dare.
Feel a scare at what one cannot invest.
Ya feel what you feel and ya can touch what you feel, but how can you really feel love?
It doesn't take a whole heart to simply push it ahead, simply dare.
For love does share in its simplicity, never taking away from the care.
The beautiful serenity is a catalyst to deliver us from death.
Such a sweet and unfailing feel brings such warmth, like an innocent girl soiling herself, which stings of humility
and grounds us in an inspired bubble safe from futility.
So shall we or not try and feel that break in the knot?
For what is it to feel once again? Let's put it this way, find your own way to feel.

Cherish
john p green Nov 2015
Our crossed paths just stopped one day
Wasn't my breath thrown at the candle
Nor hers who threw the magic away

We danced around while it was still lit
Turning and churning our feet softened the ground
Planting that path of our ever gentle growth

Crowds would take time just to gather
Eager to watch our simplictic cantor
Yet in our eyes was releasing the way

Now reaching back to that one day
They gathered round for Loves next lesson
And a force greater than ours blew it away

Look into my look and you see Sunyata
Try to govern and you will simply dry up
If I extend my limbs full forward
Will you know they're not your own
For there are no masquerades thrown
Here one simply uncovers over there
Seems all you solicit is to atone
Make me your parallel, I've offered

The Gale
john p green Nov 2015
The deluge harbors fear in once intrepid sailors
Even flax sails cry out mercy from the mighty gale
A breach in each soul sceams out that reminder
Of jagged rocks defending the isle soon to lacerate their hull
Those cries meant naught as tears in canvas offer only impending doom
Some stand steadfast gripping that false belief of hope
Others kiss their own fate as a quick grip and jump
Forever washes all mental torture far far away

no escape
john p green Nov 2015
What did you say?
Oh! wait, can i order another?
Is that a possibility?
Really! Well let's go.
This is sweet. Yet soothing with a twist.
A bit comforting, no, let's face it!
A whole lot of comfort.
Can I have another just the same?
Not possible? When will I know?
Oh! Okay, it still reverberates at the back of my mind.
What do you call it?
Ahh! I see.
Your voice.

Aye! I lost track.

the fabric
john p green Nov 2015
From womb to tomb
Our lives are not our own
Fabricated to secure
One cannot rebut
Limitless threads
The scheduler strums
With our every pain, joy,
kindness or crime
They birth our futures
Make sure we have rhyme

uncracked
john p green Nov 2015
You used to be the harbinger of disdain
I thank you deeply for unfurling my blemishes to all
Apprehension followed me around every bend
Doubting my own moral ambiguity
At war with all around
Now pushing to break me down
Persistence shall be my armor my confidant
Never become a token on that vile board
How cynical as the blemishes evaporate
I am no longer an ingrate

Sitting round ole rickity
Helping those blossoms
Everyone's reaching in
Nurturing while smiling
Colors of joy of breath
As el sol caresses gently
Bewilderment isn't there
For all whom gathered
Know the soil in their soul
No one's fabric risks toll
There's a mother connect
Bare feet rooted to ground

Untitled
john p green Nov 2015
When white water crests the banks of yesterday and tomorrow.
Never in the now experienced never in the now.
Only in the mind's shard visions.
Wishing to be there.
Once again awakening of memory thats jumbled with past times.
Sifted as if sands on Norway beaches where clean rules supreme.
The fireflies gleam spark to flame. Unknown fires longing to burn.
Burning too long, ashes in time.
The meaningless, meaningful glass. Looking  through mirrors reflective spaces.
Arrowheads greet the lone souls.
Wonder as children and *** will grow. Shape shift to the edges of forever.
On threads of long gone days.
Totally absent of ridicule or prying eyes.
Never in the now  yesterday's tomorrow.
Lifts and flows out without self.
Indulging in unknown forevers.
Just lone souls in the sun.
Under moonbeam sticks stones with petrified bones lays before you.
Yesterday's tomorrow never in the now.
Stepping through times distance unknown to all but two.
One in one and never in the now

pour it on
john p green Nov 2015
There's no more an opportune state
Then the reception of graceful bliss
A sweet liberation from  the painful whip of a broken heart, that a boy would grip.
Whilst the struggle for preservation
Of my inner peace and thwarting the
Cancer that was a growing self loathing candor.
Is vague, was this delivered by a dare?
It must have been, with the sudden and swift release from captivity- a rather sensuous butterfly wanting to drift
From the soundly healing rancid tumor
None can be certain to remedy that is set in stone- this is possibly because none is in existence, but just a spent resolve noted in trust.
Trust which lies in a number of measures and entities, like the humbling pleasures denied from the comforting breath of nature's grace.
An energetic revival that is seated in whimsy and an off beat kiss, bringing positive greetings and bright accounts- an end to the insipid plight.

#17
It was real, so very so
While waiting to be seen
A glance from faceless one
That alien enthralled by me
Still attempting any features
Leaned closer for hope to see
Like looking into black hole
The darkness drew me closer
So mesmerized didn't notice
Elongated fingers gently so
Caressing , transference, life
Understand now two shall be
Her partner all observant
Also soaking in our ways
Then the man sees and barks
Barks out that cruel command
To take her away to gate 17
Fear kicks in, she'll not be seen
Chances of further growth
Sliced permanently away
A sad cry rocks her to and fro
Her mate rocks heads together
For their final embrace
Being dragged now to oblivion
Enraged I fight their methods
Last thing I did accomplish
Nothing at all if that counts
Cruel social needles pierce me
Taking my mind to wastelands
Strapped and wakeless I am
The man gleems upon my shell
I'm now part of gate 17
Revision cause I wrote draft at bus stop and felt needed just that.

my dear
john p green Nov 2015
Your laughter an immense surprise
Bedaggles my senses bringing light
Long lost light now in my eyes
Was that intentional as you blink
I beg no forgiveness as I think
Like a moth, a light, a life
You only have one to share
Shall we venture to care
Where to go and when to know
If that sudden urge approaches
Just laugh out loud my dear

john p green Nov 2015
Where shall I begin?
Forgo all that nonsense
Just tell like it is
For my thoughts echo thine
As well as my heart
Twas nothing more bestie
Being there one for the other
An understanding so I saw
Yet what does trouble thee?
A transparent drip from a tree?
Do I now make sense or never?
You are my bestie otherwise
Know as you know me

reflection
john p green Nov 2015
Feel as if at times my own reflection is betraying me
As I look deep into water sure enough
There it goes once again
Tossed back with that crooked grin
Then there comes time to toss a rock in
This could just be the answer I need
And when the ripples disipate
There's no more , no more hate

Still Air

I'll let you in on a little secret
There is none
I'll tell  you where to travel
Right here
I'll let you hold my hands
Buy I have none
I'll even go so far
To let you peek
I'll let you open the door
With no knobs
I'll let you buy dinner
At a vacant deli
I'll let you stare into my eyes
With eyes closed
I'll wash your back for you
With only air
I'll tell you a great story
Not written yet

Lifeline

Chances are slim we'll reconnect
Though there's always belief
It takes just two to believe
Even more so words are muddled
Just can't catch that catch phrase
Whichever one whichever one
Yeah! right fine pleasing yourself
Just lay down and wash me away
Or maybe throw that rope my way
I may just climb aboard once more
Or yet simply cut and drift far away

rattle on!
john p green Nov 2015

If you will call my name

Just like a ginsberg rattle

your taste so ripe
john p green Nov 2015
Happened once, just that chance
As we twriled round, simple dance
Can we never let arms let go
A plain and simple matter
All should surely know
That union simply can't compare
Was it my eager imagination
The taste of your essence flows
As that flower blossoms before me

Going to a place
john p green Nov 2015
Guess I'm already there
It wasn't forced upon me
Still you wonder and stare
Don't care if you believe
Asking how it feels in here
My only response to this is
Simply reach in if you dare
If not go find a *** to ****
You'll find that simple fare
What draws me back to this
My reply is back from where
So fond of this profoundness
Once again goes another stare
Do we keep striking matches
Till the wee hours of the night
Or play with celestial cherubs
Swaying us gently toward light
Nov 2015 · 295
Always
john p green Nov 2015
My tears will always remain the same
I pray to God that one day
I'll forget your name
The road we traveled there still here
Every time I think of you...still
Brings back those lonsome tears
For I miss you day and all of night
I'll see you soon, my soon to be bride

Cradling new heights

Revealing dream
john p green Nov 2015
Still so vivid as a kid in the backyard
Just climbed outa my tree house
One my hands nailed hard
All of a sudden two jaguars appear
Straight from outa those woods
They then began speaking
And talking about me
They thought I couldn't see
I then formed a quick reply
If you could see their eyes
It was total disbelief
That I could fully understand
And it was at that point
My totem animal came to me

A lull can overcome
Any bright beginning
Adress the small insignificances
Which we cerish as profound

Is that a lull
Means nothing
Or all

john p green Nov 2015
"S"
Sacrifice clearly indulges itself
And streaks along the way
But hey! What do you expect?
All those self proclaimed
Or claiming to be so
Just doesn't match does it ?
The only thing that matters
Is the letter S
So soak this in
Nov 2015 · 244
just pissed!
john p green Nov 2015
And just gotta vent
Can't truly understand
That simple connection
Between cosequence
And regret
Its like that shadow
Which puts needles
Straight into your brain
Until the day one realizes
Wow! If I just had only...
Then the sadness ensues
A flood of emotions
Now they take over
Haunts one for the duration
of one's life
