A drunk poet is like
A drunk poet
I'll have another
Bill Jan 2017
Suddenly in a blinding flash of color
A new landscape and mystery materialize,
Before you can act you twitch and shudder
In the gracious beauty before you eyes.
The foliage illuminated unnaturally
The monuments of stone independent,
The world's depth enters gradually
Another time and trace resplendent.
A light enters view majestically relatable,
A transcendent being of light it stood,
It's native tongue soul illuminatingly untranslatable,
Without a doubt this being is pure Good.
Then a stroke of booming thunder,
A sound so terrifying your body leaves you,
A noise that easily tears you asunder,
That consumes your surroundings in a gray hue.
Without a thought you know what if,
Frightened yet unable to make a move,
Despite the beckoning monster you remain stiff,
Any courage you had failed to prove.
Yet again a blinding flash of light stressed
And now you are no longer where you were
The Good being
I started writing this in November of 2015, I was listening to a song and was inspired. I never finished it, and I regret this deeply.
Bill Aug 2014
Its coming and going,
These feelings are slowing.

The rain continues more,
The water in constant pour.

In this room drowned in desolation,
Meager comfort the only consolation.

I think of who these people are,
Unfamiliar lives and minds by far.

Asking questions till lips curled,
Will not be able to change their world.

Unsure if I am willing or able,
This is real life, not some fable.

I do what I can devoid of bliss,
What sobering living consists of this.
Bill Nov 2014
I've been contemplating
my next move so long
That it is long past
and forgotten.
Bill Nov 2014
In the deepest darkest night,
As the nightkin flock and scurry,
When the shadows spark a fright,
You can only try not to worry.

In the darkness of the night,
Reason will leave you fleeting,
You hope that you're not right,
That soon you and evil shall be meeting.

In the deepest darkest night,
The formless figures in your mind,
Have you begging for first light,
To return normal thoughts in kind.

In the bleakest blackest night,
You meet a realization so surprising,
The idea of self you had was slight,
As to you simple dark is traumatizing.

In the deepest darkest night,
Shallow sounds do spark startled reaction,
That of which would be swift flight,
Another minute of sanity detraction.

But its okay, and I'll tell you why.
To your nature I'll appeal,
You should be afraid, and so should I,
Evil is very real.

In the deepest darkest night,
As what surrounds you is in no hurry,
For evil is not something you can fight,
All you can do is worry.
Bill Jan 2017
Today is as important as everyday,
That came before and after.
The present is eternal,
And the past is unchanging.

Change is impossible when ignorance reigns.
Progress is impossible when opinions are traded with intolerance.
Unity is impossible when division is chosen as an answer.
Happiness is impossible when people think too much and act too little.

We can only make a choice at any given moment once, so why waste it on not bettering the world?
What's the point if we don't move forward?
Civilization was created for survival, it was made so that everyone could take part in greater development.
Our civilization now is being torn apart,
Let's fix that

The Ocean body
Ebbs like a verse in a mind

This life is so short
A temporary journey
We are just tourists
Bill Jan 2015
My love for you is
Just like hypomania
Pure, sleepless, happy
Bill Nov 2014
The great changing sky
Like a drunken wedding speech
Unpredictable
Bill Jan 2017
The more eyes focused
On just one simple idea
Can blind the purpose
Bill Jan 2015
Depression is like
A wealth of weight on the soul
Real and persistent
Bill Sep 2015
Anxiety is
Made by the Space in between
What is and could be
Bill Nov 2014
The beauty of eyes
When examined too closely
Is a disaster
Bill Jan 2018
Perhaps Depression
Is just Warrior Spirit
Trapped in a desk job
Bill Jan 2018
Our modern fears
Foolish, man-made, imposed fear
The stress can **** us
Bill Jan 2018
Trusted sharing thoughts,
So soon can turn to silence,
When trust is broken
Bill Jan 2015
There is no wisdom
If there is no one a fool
Somebody has to
Bill Jan 2018
In perseverance,
Attempting to accomplish,
Patience is the Key
Bill Nov 2014
Light and dark are like
A separated couple
Never together
Bill Jan 2017
Without a purpose
The human spirit will fade
So find that purpose
Bill Jan 2018
When the frustration
Grips you today, remember
Only actions count
Bill Nov 2015
The human is dual
If undecided can be
A Monster and Sprite
Bill Feb 2018
That which I cannot
Comprehend with just a glance,
Makes me fear the lack
haiku
Bill Jan 2018
How does one cope with
Permanence of suffering
When only human
Bill Feb 2018
The ship is solid,
And the Ocean is fluid
What comes in between?
Bill Sep 2021
It's Been a While
Since I've felt the urge in Me
To write a Haiku
I know this is very basic, but It's been about 2+ years since I've been on this site. I greatly miss it.

Falling into love
Like being tenderly punched
Does not make much sense
Bill Aug 2018
What’s eternity?
It is the present without
Perceived Transition
Bill Jan 2015
There are no objects
If there is no space between
Nothing is something
Bill Nov 2014
Tomorrow is like
The choices we make today
Certain but unknown
Bill Jan 2017
Measurement confines
Worth is our utility
But measured by time
Bill Feb 2015
Mistakes will be made
But only you can control
Your actions at hand
Bill Jan 2017
Being successful
Is like a mismatched puzzle
Without happiness
Bill Dec 2014
If you shared your thoughts
With everyone everyday
They wouldn't be thoughts
Bill Feb 2015
Words cannot convey
All of the feelings of heart
So tread carefully
Bill Jan 2015
Compulsive thoughts and
Overwhelming emotions
Displace me in time
Bill Dec 2014
Sleep is like the calm
Waking hours are the storm
So then we must choose
Bill Nov 2014
The monsters we are
Are born within life's pyres
We are born to die
Bill Sep 2015
To destroy a man
Take his dreams and steal his love
Thus he is in Hell
Bill Nov 2014
Intelligence is
Not a measure of living
Experience is
Bill Jul 2017
Unreliable
Your worth well exceeds your grasp
Just get it done now
haiku
Bill Jan 2015
Silent wave of sound
Rush over me like darkness
For I do not know
Bill Jan 2015
Life is a series
Of movements and pulsations
It's a beating heart
Bill Jan 2017
Like an empty page
The mind is capable of
Nearly anything
Bill Jan 2017
Creativity
The unknown making itself
Into something known
Bill Mar 2015
The finality
Of some certain obstacles
Is just transition
Bill Mar 2015
All of Motion is
But a glimpse of the Divine
But what is this life
Bill Mar 2015
Energy is like
The blood of the universe
Flowing in throughout
Bill Feb 2016
Transcendence occurs
When humans create and act
Go forth and Transcend
