Split Seas
john p green May 2016
If I could paint one picture, what our love meant to me.
I'd paint such a masterpiece, where sunset meets the sea.
Splashing vibrant colors, reds mixed in with blues.
Combining orange and yellows, all soaking in for you.
The painting placed in lovely frame, would hang and last forever.
But unlike such a special piece, we wouldn't stay together.
Each night the sun and ocean meet, once more they become one.
Our love however didn't last, the dreams had come undone.
The painting will then forever be, a remembrance of me and you.
Of how we couldn't harmonize, as a sun and ocean do.

once more
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

the search
john p green Nov 2015
What am I looking for!
Maybe a sundial
Just have to figure it out
See, never used one before
Like deciphering a crystal ball
Or turning over those taros
Maybe I'll walk the tight rope
And maybe if I fall I'll see
Didn't really have to look far
For it was right in front of me

Soul fusion
john p green Jul 2016
I want to jump in with you.
Clear the skies, clear our eyes.
Are you ready for that leap?
And will they lend a hand?
Make us a simple mockery.
Or even care to understand.
We are one plus one, real music.
As my other half our love's true.
If it takes such a simple reach.
With no **** reaction of others.
I simply care to seal that breach.
So let's hold hands now my lover.
Grace the hills and ocean blue.
When all's done we'll sing anew.

Underground Skip
john p green Apr 2016
Wind raised eyebrows stop the tick-tock.
Countless creases will mock all talk.
Shoes to dry by spit-run aspersion.
Walking rainbows forget now to rise.
Chancing pavement before it dries.
Old closed sign comforts finish line.
A taste of dull scissors dipped in brine.

Period
john p green Nov 2015
Can dignity befriend me as I gasp?
Will you forgive me knowing my past?
Realizing this just may be the last
Will forever always haunt me?
Or simply trespass.
A means to amass.

Just you
john p green Jan 2017
You are what you know
A glimmer in my eyes
Walking among clouds

Your breath breathes health
No nonsense going there
That simple smile draws crowds

Oh! How simplistic they see
For you shine, shine, shine
Like gazing upon a graceful star

Never forget thy majestic grace
Roughness, couth and rhythm
For you are the completeness

Overlying everyone's fortunes
With a simple smile and nod
Not meaning or thinking, just you

Aloud I praise that moment when we shout Out!
Hey I know you and you know why!
Let's fancy a stroll or simply be simple.
Hugs are amazing just like love making.
Ill manners and farting not so well.
And if you decipher them my love goes to you.

Rarely broken and quick to awake.

Oh! Rustle me such, as much you so please.
I'll forever stand tall, rise above your disease.
Cradling fresh heights, do forget
to reach me.

Smack dab in the middle of unreasonable muck
Laffy Taffy bout now'd be a good kinda stuck
Ya keep on tellin be best not to speak
Cuz the more ya think, just keep gettin weak
Now I won't lie, cuz I'm still gonna try
Just ain't gonna sit here curl up and die
All right now so what's this grand plan?
Both ears open, so where do I stand?
Or maybe bout now I'll go ahead and say we
Yeah! I'm laughin cause yer stuck beside me
Oh wait! Just think I've laughed me way out
Only chance for ya joinin is to drop yer silly pout

Potent!
john p green Nov 2015
Did not realize my presence held a symbol
From days long past the shape of a *******
Do anything to stand up for honor
Open my door for you and those
Yes and for those who follow
Yet not just a following
Or a mere glimpse
It's a frame of mind
A mere mind thinks
Guess what happens
When one awakes?
Finally they acknowledge
Then they finally see!

Alone
john p green Mar 2016
(A chipping occurs, particles fall forward.  Trapped on the Isle where thoughts cannot bounce.)

...Seeing a change, I wake from the protectional glow.
A light not unlike the warmth of mothers caress.
Only to find that my world is lost to me...

...Surprise, fear, many others crowd about my vulnerable form.
Living the uniform life to the best of knowledge.
Aware of the fall always preying in the shadows...

...Attempts prove futile, while depression blankets my cold,
dying glow...

Old wood garage where I'd fetch Dad's tools just so I could sit and watch...

Now just a heap all dusty and dark harboring Shadows that thirst and reach.

Slow gliding cars leave our dead end behind with hand waves and big smiling faces...

Street lights pop on now there's Sinister Sedan windows crack as it hungrily searches.

Looking down the ravine with the creek and it's coal,  picking pockets full of blackberries...

Just heed when you dream they'll be chasing your soul, wish for a Hobo's hole with disguises.
My childhood yard would transform for me in horrible delight each and every night.

john p green Oct 2015
Isn't it nice to know all?
Can you just imagine!
Start telling a story
With a crowd of friends
**** good memories too
And that one ends it for you
Yet was never even there
Then I toss out a farse
Just for ***** and giggles
And claim there beside you
Altough you went solo
In that farse which wasn't
And that one won't hesitate
Once I try forming a sentence
Will certainly be halfway cut off
Will appear out of nowhere
While hanging with my hommies
With no ticket in stow
If I could afford to I'd buy
Yeah buy that one an attention

In the fray
john p green Jun 2016
Some people know comfort
In being constantly frazzled.
Trying to reach inner meaning
On realities spinning wheel.
Exhaustion knows their name
Habit leads them once again.
Running that endless circle
Of both distress and refrain.

Unthawing
john p green Mar 2017
I simply stepped outside one particular eve.
What drew my curiosity from smug security?
Let's not pass blame to moon's aggressive rise.
Nor barren streets silent daily compromise.
It was more a taste one bites harder for.
Years of comfort rocked asleep by inner core.

Oh that mud!
john p green Oct 2015
I scarfed contrast
Crazed that moment
Maddness I'd enslaved
Paths succumb to rain
Beckoned soul alive
Muddy limbs flopping
Infectious jelled riffs
Rules diaper no flow
Nawlins feeds the cry

john p green Apr 2016
Never...
Knew your surprise
For me.

Never...
Thought it would be
All that.

Never...
Even realized
You see.

Never...
Saw your need
To escape.

Never...
A desire to run
From me.

Never...
Till you decided
To liberate.

Torment's Vapor
john p green Aug 2017
Come my way.
Past midnight's strung out overture.
With beginnings loud by compare.
Trance me along.
Be swept.
You'll be kept awhile.
I'll be forcasting forfeiture.
Disgrace their disquises.
All the while faceless.
My spin never quits the begin.
And you see...
As it clings unceasing.
Capping off each verse.
Erasing and repeating.
Mindfull while notes crease.
Chatter becomes new release.
Calm, your new fear.

Sorting through
john p green Jun 2016
Sometimes by just pausing and allowing all else to swirl around you like standing in the middle of a dust storm full of leaves.
Eventually those few will fall at your feet, meant to be picked up and absorbed before carrying them forth upon a new path, while the others are simply carried along by the wind.

Can you tell me a secret?
Or I tell you?
Who decides...
What deamons decide?
When your that chosen vessel
And cannot speak
While it watches you
And attempts to play
At thought
Was I there for you?
Or simply that pawn to ******?
Do it and I dare!

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

don't turn away
john p green Nov 2015
At times I turn
Turn away from
What I scribble
Is it that fear?
Or simply dribble?
Just can't fathom
That unleashing
Inside!
Tis why I write
And in the dark
No concept inside
Now I form no reason
And reason obeys
Chaos then decides
What time shall allow me

Huh? Life deludes us all at times
A grande scheme?
Or merely the workings

Fiddling thumbs in pure excitement
Watching as the befuddled gaze
Knowing not the illusions
Of what we simply call change

Don't know just wanna get there
Before I can feel the motion in the air
Times, seems like we're twisted sideways
That's why you better beware
In case you didn't catch it
They'll be following you everywhere
So put on that hat, just let loose a smile
Make sure you don't grimace
Cuz that'll last a long while
Just glad to be back

Just want to be alive again
Explore the mundane
Nothing advantageous
Way too easy for me
For you have to know
Spontaneity is key
Simply a gracious face
Or that hand shake
Now where's that lead?
Ah! Ha! So you ponder
Anywhere you choose!
That's the entire point!
Release and simply...
Just simply do...
Do yourself a favor
And just breath.

When you contaminated my hate
You chilled me to my bones
Time and time again
You just gave me the kick!

And simply look in your mirror
For your love's untrue
Now I can see it's not me
It's you Love!

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!

unfinished noise
john p green Mar 2016
Waking.  Encompassed by sounds far beyond the stretched boundaries of human conception.  Attempted by animals of raw thought to understand.  Though defining the obvious only spawns extreme difficulty for them.  One slightly detached from the rest listens  for volume as well as sound and differences within difference.  As concentration is further revealed by an onlook upon still reflection.  A reflection of Pure sound.  To connect Pure with Natural, two believed one.  Yet each equally substantial and distinctly ground.

Something is in the air
Ever escaping, never clear
Neither positive or negative
No direction just there
Pure, everlasting and aware
Oh! Sweet smell of ambiguity
Flowing free and effervescent
Trying to unclench now to be
Yet in trying I'll never measure
For there are no weights
So finally not wanting to see
That enticingly sweet smell
Chooses now to encompass me

Offering thanks as our feet stomp

My caretaker mumbled, "I'll make sure you have bliss".
And for God sake why?

Muttering back to her, "no one else cares".
Followed by that vacant stare.
As her hand reached out.
To touch my heart.
I felt the only thing to do.
Was answer with a ****.
