There was that day
All hands were held
Anticipation in air
Then as we gathered
Closer without a peep
The magic thus began
Now your in front of us
A small soul in two hands
Will never forget emotions
Those surrounding us all
Not one word to describe
Guess we'll call her Bobbie
And all agreed with a tear
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.
john p green Oct 2015
As I delve oh! Just how deep?
Really tisnt a question
For I'm already in too far
Would you like to hold my hand?
Just get a little taste
A tiny taste of who I am?
Or maybe, yeah! Just maybe
Once our hands are locked
Then well see the deep end
Here now already, ahahh!
Twas easy so you see
Try not to be bewildered
Just follow that rhythm
That one that keeps flowing
Its been there all along
Do I need say more?
Thought you're already there
Look into your own stare
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!

There are those whose words find them at inopportune moments.
And become lost when needed.
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.

Yo! Jack wasn't nimble
Jumpin that candlestick
Jumpin without no pants
Getting burned down low
So next time think a little
And save your weinersnitzel
john p green Feb 2016
I was torn asunder
Till you pieced together
My Soul.
john p green Oct 2015
I have a far travel ahead
For which I shall see clear
Are you behind?
Or simply in the clear
What if I can't comply?
And decide turning back
Will you stretch that mile?
Wear your soles into the ground?
Simply to be beside my side
I will outstreach my hand to you
Just in case you grow so weary
Please listen to that pulse
Which has brought us together
For I cannot stand to be without
My true love I hold so dear
john p green Apr 2016
Readjustment means just that
Visualize then calibrate or cool compromise
Do forgive if I'm incorrect
For I tend to go astray
Aren't we all placed here to play?
Just once release that loose spirit inside
Let it lay no longer with lost things you hide
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!
john p green Nov 2015
I just want to add another
If you will call my name
Just don't simply blame
I have nothing to offer
Cause my life is spent
Let's just randomly wander
Those fields are so golden
Just like a ginsberg rattle
john p green Oct 2015
Let us open the skies, Yes! Yet just you. For I am not here, not here for that reason.
That moment shall arrive and you'll know in all your glory
Never doubt, yet if you do
Don't be afraid, embrace it!
Then it may follow you and so what happens if it's true?
Call back and hear the echo
Once more you've changed
Yeah! Changed the story
john p green Oct 2015
Please identify your nonsense
Please declare what you seek
Please decipher your undoing
Please acknowledge your weak
Please share a little undoing
Please grasp that you cannot
Please whisper your behavior
Please express that your taught
Please dismiss the favored
Please focus on the untrue
Please best you realize
Please know my love is true
john p green Oct 2015
A love poem to myself, lets see?
Does it require a sense of symmetry?
As I ponder on this ponder
Doubt I'll be able to see
Taken aback a slight twittle
Oh...well stars fly at night
Do I sigh? Or maybe seem to?
Yeah! Jokes not dimming just light
Back we go, now how to start one?
The answer if there's one
You Cant!
No explanation, reason, feeling, rational or irrationality nor nada.
Just relaxed and going with it
john p green Oct 2015
Chew on that! How proverbial
Once you taste that grit
Finally opening those eyes
And finally laughing
Was it merely hit or miss
****! You certainly did
This time you missed
Does this merritt a wish?
Or simply goodbye to taste
Yeah! You know the flavor
Goes on and on
Till reality cups your lips
And washes it away
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
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
john p green May 2016
Only muddled worries of me,
prevent your ability to be.
john p green Oct 2015
Write more so you know
Which way to slowly go
Never forecast anxiousnes
Just forget about chance
There you go!
Once more take it real slow
And fake it graciously
In case you forget
john p green Oct 2019
A true vision expressed so intense.
Snipped out so quickly.
Dare to recall that spark.
Reaching loudly arms apart.
Always cruel blinfolds
Missing hearts inner spark.
john p green Oct 2015
I call upon rains as the clouds pass.
Whistling toward summits while birds flock by.
A patter on the face brings me round.
Delicate drops singing aloud.
At once I know nature's heard my cry.
It's then I realize I've just been found.
john p green Apr 2016
Hope  "Cat Scratch Sally" ain't waitin by the shack.

Bought a fever yesterday that I can't take back.
john p green Oct 2015
Just want to be reunited with you
My precious oh I dare not say
It's simply for sole protection
For we delve on differnt planes
Yet we'll always be here and now
I simply want to bring it back
Those songs and nightly visits
Your voice so pure and proud
Brought both smiles and tears
Too bad no one else knew it
Even in my head thru the day
Please don't leave again
We will reunite my dear
Just because I've gone astray
Only in the sense though melded
And I mean that for life's sake
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
john p green Oct 2016
Understand sound within sound
To begin knowing your own.
john p green Aug 2016
Rarely broken and quick to awake.
Scarcely I falter, I simply won't shake.
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.
john p green Nov 2015
Ain't no reason our road will stop
We know how to roll together
We'll make that craddle rock
It's as easy as insanity can be
Two of us together make history
john p green Oct 2015
That beautiful tree tends to harness
Emotions we all should follow
Or simply care not too
With all that matters, is it you?
That fate we become
Yet those vacant stares
Can we recognize that which we harness?
And dare to recognize all the carnage
john p green Nov 2015
11 and stupid as can be.

I have straight A's and going to Edward Waters.

Still thoughts flow to me.

Making me feel not lonely.

Still as stupid as can be.

I can't even do the nae nae.

The end
Halloween night passing piece of paper round and each contributed thoughts with no rhyme or reason...pure fun..2 tricker treaters began with the ink
"S"
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
john p green Oct 2015
Sometimes I feel like life
My life...
Is under a microscope
So go ahead!
Adjust magnetization
Till you see clearly
Enough to descend
john p green Oct 2015
Explanation goes so easy
When no one cares
To decide who dreams
And whom dares
I don't declare
I only follow
The whispers which unfurl
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 Oct 2019
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.
john p green Oct 2015
People always say friends come a dime a dozen
Well you can keep your dozen just give me smiles, laughter, good times
That's all I need
Sitting back sipping cool drinks
Chuckling at fun stories
Swatting gnats as they buzz around
Our beverages of choice
Feeling that euphoric feeling of true acceptance
Just being you and enjoying good genuine people
Now thats friendship
john p green Oct 2015
I'm just sitting around
For that Zack and Anne attack
For it is inevevitible
It's so friggin predictable
There be eardrums to burst
And no laughs out loud
Let's see what transpires
Sometimes their up then down.
john p green Oct 2015
I'm gonna be up all night?
Skipping rocks cross my mind?
And who decides those rocks?
Is it you or maybe me?
Ok! Just go ahead throw!
There may be a clearway
Now yet surely don't know
You mother !
You took all the rocks!
But whose the one yeah!
With no shame?
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...
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.
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.

I opened the mirror, we knew of the chance.
You faded before me, would be our last dance.

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.

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
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
john p green Oct 2019
Rugged Individualists are we,
Inherently.
As our Ancestors decreed.
Blessing us with thought's clarity.
Setting our minds free!
