I open my bottles,
They have sweet release,
Like finding love and inner peace,

So come, come find your release;
Let’s get high,
Get real and feel, the planets, the stars, the sky,

Spaced out, Crossing constellations,
Brake the moon, our ship, our stations,
Star struck lovers collide up high,
***** stop outs, in God’s eye.

An Escape From A Sad Reality

An Escape From A Sad Reality

On Earth, as we sojourn
It's just a common thing to mourn.

But life ain't just about that
We can still do a lot.

We can go out and have fun
Talk about anything under the sun.

Climb a mountain and to its peak we stand
Go swimming and bury ourselves in the sand.

Go to Japan and see the pink bed of cherry blossoms
Travel to Europe and witness the artistically-crafted domes.

Be adventurous and try sky diving
And feel the cold wind blowing.

Go to parties, hold our glasses while saying cheers
Don't be afraid to shed a dozen pails of tears.

Be happy and feel merry
Even though we have burdens to carry.

Open up our hearts and spread love
Treasure everything we have.

Life is too short to be wasted
From this vicious world lets have an escape.

I made a part 2 for my earlier poem - "a sad reality (reality of life)". haha. this is the happier side! :)

Spin your web (!)

Spin your web (!)

Oh, well, I don’t blame you, dear
Your pretty face and soul? You can
Have no control over that, surely.
See, the thing is, I worry that your
Lovelily spun
Web will catch nightmares along with
Love
But please, mademoiselle, don’t let this shake the
Charming dew drops of yours

Keep
Spinning
Your
Web!

For your beauty
Will not fail, (as mine has, for which I shall never be forgiven
or viewed with kind eyes again, though I knew not
what the sting of the bee really
whispered)
I promise you, it won’t
In its ancient and blessed task
Of making life
(so glorious
Already!)
Worth living…

For the boy.

I don't mind you much, it's true
But please, just don't stick to
Me like glue
Maybe.

Maybe?

But then again, no.
I am not your territory to cross
I'm saving my roads, you see,
For something better than you and me
Please don't cry, darling,
Can't you see it in my eyes?
You're perfect, boy, but I know from the depth of the ocean floor
I am nothing to you but a swift
Demise

Mr. Brascia - haiku

He had many cars
and slept sad each night alone
he drove love away

Small

Small

I got in a ship,
And flew up into space.
From the moon I looked down.
And do you know what I saw?
A great big expanse of Blue,
With the most beautiful specks of green.
And it was huge.
And it was amazing.
And I cried.
Because I realized;
I may be very tall,
But from up here,
You could never even see me
Because I am so small.

I Am Strong Too

I Am Strong Too

Just take my hands,
They are held out for you.
My shoulders are small,
But you can cry on them to.

We may grow apart,
But believe me this is true..
We may be just friends,
But I'll always love you.

This came to me at midnight.. I just had to write it down.

Dry Desert

Dry Desert

are dreams merely an oasis
materialized to sustain us on a day to day basis
some can so easily be consumed
day to day life incapable of being resumed
always turning back to the way of a madman
seeking to find in their own mind utter bedlam
say the same things over and over again
place your heart in a headlock, lay the blame
when will it change, will it ever
or shall we lie in illusions of a pointless endeavor
