Words have more power than bombs. Every noun or verb I pronounce reverberates across worlds. They disperse. They coerce with like minded individuals just trying to get a grasp on what goes on earth. Pay attention. Try to listen. Your potential is worth more than I can mention. Ignore the tension. Breathe my brother breathe. What you have in this world you can't take when you leave. The love lives forever wherever I am here. I am near. Nothing to fear. I love you. That's what really matters. That's all that matters. Everything else is just chatter. Breathe my brother breathe.

Punctured are the lungs I've used for breathing
This seething ever-romantic feeling
The peeling of skin that reveals the concealed
And opens up the undying existence of the unseen
As my own existence is also undying and unseen
My mind and ego trying to convince me otherwise
This is my illusion
Intruding my mind and infecting it with disparity
And with no clarity of what is to come
I drown in fear that I will succumb

I am not an old man
However
It is this body that is old
For I am as new as ever
As quick and as clever as my decomposing
mind allows me to be
