Split seas
john p green Nov 2015
If I could paint one picture, what our love meant to me
I'd paint such a masterpiece, where the sunset meets the sea.
Splashing vibrant colors, reds mixed in with blues.
Combined with orange and yellows, all soaked in for you.
This sunset placed in lovely frame, would hang and last forever.
Though, unlike such a special piece, we wouldn't stay together.
Each night sun and ocean met, once more they became one.
Our love, however, didn't last the dreams had come undone.
The painting would forever then be  rememberence of me and you.
Of how we couldn't harmonize, as the sun and ocean do.

outreach
john p green Oct 2015
Many people handle many situations
In various ways
Some may sit and wither
Others take them head on
No matter how you choose to handle them
Just know that mine will always be
The hand you need when you need it

transformation
john p green Nov 2015
When you wake up every morn
And the bright sunlight
Glistens across oh yeah!
Those beautiful brown eyes
Thought so sweet at first
Yet turn demon eyes at last
As your true colors shine
Now I give you my heart
And my soul which you're
Not taking no where
The day I do see you
In the beutiful sunlight
That will be our day
Or that night true love
Simply written from Jim

Might I describe with a slightly cracked mind that simple act of coping with the tiny fact of how I must not over react knowing I might become blind while waiting for that abstract moment to arise whereas I am entitled to act highly surprised when you finally dial back...
Aye! I lost track.

twin
john p green Oct 2015
Never knew you for you never existed
Imagine that connection beyond compare
Oh yeah wait! For it was never there
Simply saw you, another boy on the block
Yet so special that no one should mock
For if truely you were there
Wouldn't I have known it?
Gone the distance to share that connection?
A simple response is all I ask
Let's climb those stairs together
Not divided by our individual space
232 · Oct 2015
Shall I?
john p green Oct 2015
Shall I differ or do I dare?
For the wind oh! oh!
It shall take me anywhere
Believe those embracing thoughts
For they do shine forth
And will shine with the gusto of heavy passion
And flare with the pathways that open many doors
New volumes of opportunity uplifting moods floor
The gears to a revitilizing breath of action

john p green Nov 2015
Can't relate!
Simply don't!
Got issues?
Well choke!
All's free.
Free here.
Bygones be.
Really? That?
Don't tease...
How dope!
Go ahead.
Just try.
We'll see.
Any plans?
Hang tight.
True journey.
No ticket.
No sound.
Ask why?
Dare ask?
Not first.
Maybe last.

the line
john p green Oct 2015
With a blink we'll envision
There's no cage involved
Just an incision
Shhh! Soon you'll understand
Shall we falter or simply stand?
From our visage someone else's glare
Doesn't matter until we share
Yet if you don't its reality tightrope
230 · Oct 2015
That feel
john p green Oct 2015
When I gaze into your eyes
I see hope and I feel warmth
When I look upon your pupils
I see a reflection of us
And feel at home
Only in your eyes

Just decide
john p green Oct 2015
When do I decide not to?
Is it my choice, or merely a ride?

Thy shalt grant thy wishes
Or merely preside within

Sometimes too many questions
Haunting you till the end

Because just for that reason
That reason simply put

Let bygones be bygones
Or another drag from cigerete

At this point, not quite sure
Could be nonsense or...

Or possibly the unsure
Let's not fantasize!

Or even be false in nature
Simply let yourself realize

You are You and You

The flow
john p green Nov 2015
All odds are against me now
Doesn't seem quite possible
As I now spill my blood
Will my veins ever heal?
Or just keep seeping away
My life's expectancy
Maybe I'll find a bandage
Or a kind soul offer one
Don't really expect it though
I'll play my own inner game
And never again run
228 · Nov 2015
Invite
john p green Nov 2015
Dance around till you shine
Do you go there?
Or do you cry?
I'd like to believe
That if you go there
I could reach out to you
And help you climb
For we're not lovers all alone
Not yet dead possums
On that lonely road
Shall we catch each other?
Or merely loathe?
Come now, let's climb

Trifecta
john p green Oct 2015
Time will tell...only when the answer holds everyone's heart
Brings it forward and elevating it till
All will see!
Not just those three
But those gathering around
To watch, learn and grow
Is that such an impossible calling?
Where we are and come about?
And what lies next?

apprecitiation
john p green Oct 2015
Do you realize what it means to me
As you said that my life did matter
No matter what I did say
For my breath was carried on
As a breeze gone awry
And if I have to sacrifice
For a friend whom found me
Then that's all shall matter
You and I friends forever

Anxiety speaks
john p green Oct 2015
It is quite funny
How, just how funny
People tend to react
Just wait now for I'm sure
Don't know that last word
So where do you go then?
Not sure. Don't simply care
Just want you to know
Simply just one thing
It really don't matter

john p green Oct 2015
Oh! What a day!
Dont use me
And abuse me
Ain't gonna happen!
Do you dare
Look into my eyes?
And see my stare?
While the fury unfurls
Causing you to become
AWARE!

Guide me
john p green Nov 2015
There was once a moment
Thought everything was clear
Oh dear! If you wanna dare
Not sure how to do other
What you'll possibly draw near
Really don't care to listen
Or even lend my open ear
For I want that simple taste
Could either bring laughter
Or that call to the master
I could call myself a master but at the same time I'm the same as every body else. I could  break a limb off a tree. Branch out and I now know someone who could **** a man with his bare hands kills someone else another day.

and so it begins
john p green Oct 2015
An unopened door revealed a crack
Unleashing that light so magical
Meeting souls still in flight
From me them and you
Then together we come anew
How dare we unravel what was lost
Or simply toss around our meager thoughts
How dare we cross that simple page
When all's lost without a stage
To and fro we shall always go
Till a soul comes bound for you
223 · Oct 2015
gathering
john p green Oct 2015
Sitting at the round table
Just gathering round
Where all the mucus transpires
And stupid laughs keeps one
stumbling
Over and over and over
There's that one always
That everyone wants to go
Kinda sad each disguise
That lonlininess
held inside shows
Stop making that racket
Just have some respect!
For this round table is for
Just that!
Gather round, tip your hat
And take a big sip!

Skip that beat
john p green Nov 2015
Just wanna color life's table
With friends diversity
Doesn't matter who laughs
Or those who don't smile
All which really does count
Is looking into your waters
Maybe those winds will still
And see countless faces
Of the ones who whisper
Their energies tossed to you
Then you see youself clear
Till you throw another rock
Enjoy that ripple once more
And more and more and...

A mark is only remembered
If true to self
Doesn't matter departure

Look upon me know

No time for worries
Time for you now
To be free

So many are capsized
Lost in a wave of comfort
Not wanting to realize
Or even to care
Just go ahead

tread lightly
john p green Oct 2015
Are we truly really touching?
Into that void where nonsense truly knows?
Still grasping don't ya ask
Silly me! Can you hear?
Can you feel?
Even smell?
Though planes
Yes seems apart
Your in front!
I see through dark
Go ahead! And fly!
For your curfew
Does draw near
Don't want you to vanish
From my energies soul
219 · Oct 2015
what?
john p green Oct 2015
Don't whisper to yourself
An echo may occur
Drawing those thoughts
Which can overwhelm
Or merely be bypassed
So do we listen?
Take a chance
What's the problem?

Last Stand
john p green Oct 2015
Did you care for you or me when we last spoke?
Dare you dare to realize
This is not a mere joke
For life can be fragile
And dissipate with winds breath
Carrying your fragile soul
Unto the highest reaches
Then sprinkle droplets
Of Love, Essence and All
All what! You should know
218 · Oct 2015
craddle
john p green Oct 2015
When oh when shall it arise?
Only you know when you know
Could be in that passing stranger
Or simply that kind gesture
For no one really, really knows
What we are all capable of
If you know please share
Not just to myself, the world
Many eye's need opening
Many souls come alight
That's all...good night!

Never broken
Quick to wake
Nor will I falter
I simply won't shake
Oh! Rustle me such
As much you so please
For I forever stand tall
Rising above dis-ease
Cradling new heights
Do forget and reach me

comfort
john p green Oct 2015
Can I rest my head on your shoulder?
And you can choose which one?
It will make me feel better.
Let's say just outta fun.
Even though don't know you.
No matter your taste.
Wait! Did I just say that?
Now seeps in disgrace.
For you felt that connection.
For a moment or two.
I'll let you go for now.
Finding another one.

that fleeting moment
john p green Oct 2015
How fleet we dance
Do we even care or just there?
Never mind if you don't dare
***** you in all the places
You don't wanna share
Open up to compliance
And defy defiance
Wait! Know what's up?
Or a jester locked in a trunk?

Knew I was encapsulated
Brightness of your eyes
Originality no disguise
Simply simply you

Misconstrued
john p green Oct 2015
You didn't have to go that way
All you needed was to listen
I chose to believe in you
Believed in your soul
But now there is none
Walked away you did
With your pretentiousness
Gracing us all with falsness
Are you strutting about
That false smile so proud
Look into shattered mirrors
Cause their shouting aloud
Nice to be deaf to all
Only listen to your own
Let's just stand back now
And hear that sound
The time when you fall

Rain rules
john p green Oct 2015
Even collapsing channels
Won't prevent our minds funnels
For it seems unclear somewhat
Touching our dearest fears
Touching what?
Or do go there?
Place yourself alone
Till you'll crawl back home
Guess what? I'll be there!

What shall I write?
Let's think for a sec
Really matter?
Or give a hoot?
I've this whole page
Just think or not
What would you decide?
See now you're drawing
So now are you thinking
Set it down and swallow
Now I see it will follow
Will follow thee
Doesn't have to make sense
For goodness sake!
Tis a mere blank page
Well let's say to...yeah!
To begin with
Till a closure is met

Time is awaitin
john p green Oct 2015
Till my sight goes astray
My course goes that way
Will I find sole solution?
This needs another potion
Maybe, just maybe you say
Hhmm? Don't believe ya
Think I'll go another way
Or simply say I'm sorry
Yet I don't wanna beg
Just put on the shoes &
motion
I'm out that door now
Climbing that mountain
Shall the top be ahead?
Oh! How crystal clear
If I reach, and then reach
Will I then see tomorrow?
210 · Oct 2015
just cant
john p green Oct 2015
Every time we would wake at four
Riding to clearfork for crawllers
Walking that medicinal path
Finally getting a get go
To drop those lines
Yet not a hit in sight
Guess what dad?
Think I'm gonna take flight
Rather brush those leaves
A random rock in tow
Guess where that goes?
Either hand or pocket
Your the best.
Clearly seen
And every night
Yeah you know
As well each morn
As I lay lenses down
By the ashes remain
I simply say
Dad I'll always love you
And see ya soon again
206 · Nov 2015
Let's reflect
john p green Nov 2015
Used to be a time
Just being peacefully
Peacefull
Scratch ones ***
And in public
Without call from law
Used to be that time
Drinking fountins in park
Brought such pleasure
Yet where did they go?
Used to be a time
Swinging on vines simply
Yeah! Did bring pleasure
So much more I can say
Yet we don't have all day
To bring forgtten moments
Or even childhood fancies
Simply do it now with passion!
204 · Nov 2015
Your choice
john p green Nov 2015
I'm mystified by the clothing you wear
With each wrinkle appears another tear
Is this a purposeful way to express
How shattered another day begins?
Can I too learn from those around?
Oh! And what color does resound
You make it seem so light and free
Feel like catching a butterfly
So I can place upon your shoulder
I truly mean you no harm now
Please try not to shy away dear
For simply wait and you'll see!
This magical wonder will heal thee!

Now in sweat mode
Lost the wrench
Lost myself
Lost that mind
Once belonged to me
Ok! Stare...don't care!
Cause I'm now over there
So just go on with antics
My reflection always there
See it's my essence
Shielding me
Until I'm ready or not
To reflect upon me

Life
john p green Nov 2015
Unwind that thread a bit
Begin with saddest level
Pull a little more to see
And the blissful one can be
How dark can one reach
Then comes a glimpse
Of a true humanity
After awhile becomes clear
That thread a mere tool
To unlocking gift of life
And all its memories

Relase it!
john p green Oct 2015
Having that so called "Last chance"
Helped me out of prison
Even then was no romance
Digging ever deeper
Do I have that passion?
Or was I simply sleeping?
Oblivion awakes the keeper
199 · Nov 2015
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.

Sifting

Pure awareness of instantaneous reactional responses are never grasped, yet for those versed in the discipline of patience, strive to feel impressions take place or leave traces as the motions seem weightless.

Lost Souls
john p green Oct 2015
When white water crests the banks of yesterday
And tomorrow But never in the now experienced ever in the now
Only in the minds shard of wishing to be there
Once again awakening of memory thats wished will pass
Times sifted as of sands on far away beaches
Where clean rules supreme the fireflies gleem spark to flame
Of unkown fires longing to burn Burning to long
Ashes in time the meaningless meaningful glass looking
Through mirrors reflective spaces
Arrowheads greet the lone souls
Wander as children and *** will grow shapes
Shift to the edges of forever on threads of lonley
Gone days totally absent of ridicule or prying
Yes never to the now yesterdays tomorrow wishes
And flows out without self indulging in unknown spaces
Just lone souls on the sun on the moon beside skies
Shores with planted bones lays before you
Yesterdays tomorrow never in the now sleeping
Through times distance unknown to all but two
One in one and never in the now
194 · Nov 2015
Strength
john p green Nov 2015
A simple small stone
Is that foundation
When truly grasped
Within ones imagination
Leading toward freedom
From pent up emotions
Suffered from another
A simple tiny stone
Gradually adds to others
As you journey along
Before you know it
You have a mountain
To stand upon defying all
193 · Oct 2015

Can I tell when I can tell?
Do I want to tell?
How often will I ask?
For one never knows
