Coteries are not for me.
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Would you judge me?
Do y'know i wont judge you?
Can I be anything I want to be?
Or are there rules I have to conform to?

Spaceman cowboy hippie gangster stoner rockstar chef painter poet
playwright carpenter inventor scientist mathematician author actor
gardener tailor sailor musician comedian doctor pilot barista volunteer
partyplanner spiritualist director engineer psychologist beautician

Please do forgive me but there's more.
I'm greedy, I know, I want it all.
Immense experiences galore.
Money to me means null.

Jealousy
Long To Sail Jan 2014
You're practically together,
Yes a million Yes, I hate that.
You try to impress him,
For that I'll tip my hat.

I wouldn't know if you,
have or will taste the lions groin.
But games over my friend,
Insert another coin.

Black Death
Long To Sail Mar 2016
There's a little black hole at the end of my room.

Where a little black man sings sorrows to the moon.

Now a little black spot on my heart springs my doom.

But little won't stay little unless she comes home soon.

The Gentleman

This lad right here
Will do anything to make anyone happy
This lad right here
Will make you feel special
This lad right here
Will do it all with good intentions
This lad right here
Will love you like everyone else
Make you feel loved like no one else
Don't fall for this lad right here
He only means well
But he'll break your heart
This lad. This lad.
Will love you like how you feel for him
Won't love you like how you fell for him

Honesty // Deceit
Long To Sail Mar 2014
This is it
The end
I was uncertainty
You were a misleading bend

Let it go
Unfound
I was the accused
But it was you who let it drown
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Nearly two month's gone by since we last met.
Seeing you now reminds me how I've missed you.
The crinkle at the corner of your eyes.
The way they deepen as you smile.
And your eyes disappear.
Smile.
You always do.
You never fail to make me too.
We'd argue. We'd laugh.
These little things make me remember you.
You are my reason I live life gently.
But never soft, like a real man should be.
This time it's my turn to buy you breakfast.
And I'll try to see you more, I love you Daddy.

Brick by brick. I have built a wall around you.
Alas comes he, demolishing what I've constructed.
Little does he know, I erected not one but a few.
Some walls, I doubt, even you knew existed.

Just like the rest he'll tear them down with kindness.
Cause, oh tender love, all you seek is some attention.
Estranged, these men truly think I have left you loveless.
Selfish me, only with me shall you embrace affection.

They pursue with presumption that they came to save you,
They pursue with presumption that they came to love you.
The robust walls they've destroyed imprudently to seize you.
Unknowing my intention was to protect them from yours truly,               **You

Greatest
Long To Sail Jan 2014
In stories of love and conflict
The greatest were of me and you
The influence of hydroponics
Done unravelled a thing or two
Like the perfect slurps in life
Are of chowder not of stew
And the perfect us derived
From the balance of me and you
We basked in endless reverie
Though the years were but a few
This reality of fantasy held eternally
For today
     my love
           today
                I bid you
                                                Adieu.

Sleep Tight
Long To Sail Feb 2014
Small talk over coffee
can end your day right

Even hearty conversations
can please me any night

As my fingers flick these ashes
puffs easing me from plight

The sun kissed moon remains
the most appeasing source of light.

Like in Movies
Long To Sail Jan 2014
I sleep closer
to the edge of the bed
so I don't see the space
you've left behind

I dive deeper
in my fantasy
to push you further
into the back of my mind.

I watch the waves
rollover each other
and try not to envision
our own destructive habit.

I fight these memories
in my head
bottle-bottoms harness strength
for me to brave it.

In time I'll walk
back on dry land
and a path of my own
I'll try to find.

If only I can wipe you off,
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

Take me back to the days
where i was careless and free.

when the wind was what pushed
me as i ran across fields

when the stars were bigger and
i stood for justice for who went first on slides

days i did not understand
why there were any reason to fight

i wanna go back to the time when
i believed my folks knew what they were doing

where every word they said were
of wisdom and every bit of it deemed true

if you can take me back
i wish to bring my brother

for the playgrounds now come in forms of pills and potions
and i, the fearless, am scared shitless that i might not know what to do.

to keep him safe here.

Helpless
Long To Sail Jan 2014
I drown myself with
Everything but love
Tell myself
I don't need you
Truth is
I don't
Yet our realities are
Self fabricated
And in my reality
I do
Need you

Every word accompanied
By ear pleasing sound
My mind slithers back
To thoughts of you
You. You. You.
But the truth will set in
And it'll pull me back to
Logic-constructed reality
I don't need you
Not till I think
I do
Need you

In my cup
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Full bodied. A crimson blend.
Sugar and milk. Woah, transcends.
The sweetness over your toasty brew.

Years taken away. So was murky density.
Just sugar infused. Tis was culminated destiny.
Has elimination brought enhancement?

"Black. Just black"
Am I for real?
I embrace you for you. Smell. Taste. Feel.
Less for more. Will I soon drink an empty cup?

I'm appreciating nothing as everything anyway.

Of Work
Long To Sail Jan 2014
The daily routines we lead,
Have now come to lead us.
The opportunities we often plead,
Will soon come to feed us.
Hypocrites we hate to need,
Conscious struck, they need us.
The memories of bad seeds,
Now burnt, scarred, bleed, rust.

Fuel
Long To Sail Oct 2017
Tonight the lump in my throat has become a boulder
If my eyes decide to bleed I will not find a shoulder
Tonight my veins know not what runs through it
Rage? Anger? Confusion? Sadness? Old lies new heat

Soiled in your fuel of lies I held my fire high
I'm running out of strength to constantly try to try
But now my arms draw near as I soon hold myself in disgrace
And it is now the time has come, I have set myself ablaze.

Dear Former Love,
Long To Sail Jul 2015
The amorous history of you
that she so well denies,

sometimes reveals itself,
though she hides it from her eyes.

I do not hate you.

Though I envy you,
I do not hold a grudge.

I only hope she has shed the skin that once resonated your touch.

Like the beauties that my eyes

I shan't deny existence of such splendor
in others but definitely one too few.

Remorse
Long To Sail Sep 2015
Oh dear lover, how your tongue is so sly.

When words can come so easily.

-

But how strong your pride is more than your tongue is sly

When you can say all but "I'm sorry"

-

But guarded is this heart from such strength in pride

For when both of us put you before me

-

Maybe if you look into your heart deep down inside

You'd find being wrong is not wrong unless you stand for it unjustly.

Soul Strength
Long To Sail Feb 2015
I'll shave the lions mane
Dare me and I'll do it
Fight a million Cobras?
Headfirst into the pit

I fear not pain nor suffering
For my heart is but a stone
I could survive amongst the billions
And I'd strive being alone

My heart and mind is strong
But weak is my mere soul
The suffering it has plowed through
Has thus turned it cold

Searching far and wide
Not a thing could cause reform
For a clear location untold
Where lies another's warmth

alarm clock
Long To Sail Feb 2016
i once was twenty one
my life was up in smokes
she asked if i remembered
but i forgot the day i awoke

my memories are healing scars
they do not depict a clear story
but i remember a time of chaos
a time i stood in glory

there was static in my hands
and fire in my eyes
when the smoke had cleared and fire died
it was a tad too late to realize

but fire is no more a friend
now gardens grow far and wide
she is the rain to wash the ashes
the moon, the mood to my tide.

Fall in love
and don't hold back.

Even if the past

Soon enough, in the future,
the present will be the only past.

Like stars that once shone,
fade unhurriedly from the skies.

Slipping Away
Long To Sail Feb 2014
Sometimes i feel
Like giving up
Smoking up
Just let me drift away

Shove me on ship
Just shackle me up
Wake me up
I'll be a stowaway

Hide me deep
Beneath the ground
No sight and sound
With maybe just a shovel

With tranquil mind
Less profound
More lost than found
I'll throw in the blood drenched towel.

Devour me for a bit

Cause only with the sour
Can I appreciate the sweet

With every victory
There is an opposing defeat

Yes I've lost this time
Play me that southern beat

Good vibes I foresee

Grimm.
Long To Sail Jun 2014
We were the ones
who were bred in the fire

Forced to reconsider
our primal desires

Wants and needs stood still
in the want and need to survive

A place we were taught to ****
From the day we first arrive

Told that guns don't **** people
People **** people

But people don't ****, bullets do
So stop speed mailing bullets people

Having much of everything
Yet still doing the taking

And making those who have nothing
Give and keep on giving

Not just reaping harvest
But even lives, loves and futures

Taking away tomorrows
We are a man in the dessert
And they, they are the vultures.

If I could fall in love
I'd fall in love with you
I'd carve your name onto my heart
And have you sign it too
A contract between two fools
Treading cautiously this time around
In a cesspool of broken hearts
Clearer visuals clearer sounds
Well if I could fall in love
You'd be atop of my list
But my hearts locked up right now
And I've jumbled up the keys.

Cat Out Of The Bag
Long To Sail Dec 2014
As of now,
you are like Schrodinger's cat to me.
Both good and bad
if I don't take a look.
But could it be
that the outcome might be judged
by my actions too?
Or am I foolish to think
that me being good
will result in
your reciprocation of good?
And in this confusion
in search of truth,
I too am Schrödinger's cat,
both alive and dead
at the same time.

If there was a lesson,

Suddenly, the need to hold and be held surges through me like a familiar electric feel.

You were the story
           everyone loved hearing

The story we all knew
            noone could live

The one that anyone stupid
             enough died from trying

All the attention to the
              impossible with no ***** to give

A little empathy to
              your main character

Only partially cause all
              were born in different skins

A fiction to the fraction
               that never mattered

But real as reality has ever been.
To the you that you never dared to be.

Does it make sense,
if I want to finger draw incoherent lines down your spine?
But I don't want to touch you.
Cause I have to stop wanting what isn't mine.
