The In-between
Serenity        hidden within the     in-between, open      to the curious       minds.

The one's who      see    between the     lines, searching for any adventure,       anywhere they can find.

Inspired by the          ideas, hidden through time     and on occasion          rejected by mankind.

Travelling          world's in their spare       time, treasuring these moment's          they find.

Remembering      never to let others fall              behind, exciting them with their
                                      rhymes.

For these        creature's, do not really          unwind.

Searching              all their lives, these moment's              fufilling them, offering              them to truly feel alive.
The doors of ancients opened,
Now broken, we can go though,
A powerful magic releasing us again,
Free to return to reign once more.

Wandering through the ages of time,
Tangible to see and feel the imaginary,
Farewell, I go far away from here,
In a world of dreams and the magical.

Now you approach me,
Come in to me and fill tonight,
Chase away the darkness within,
I ride the night by your side.

Shadows flee from the pure light,
Give me the power of the air,
Winds, hear me, call my name,
Blow into my very soul, give me hope.

As you enter my room of enchantment,
You feel my spell weaved and you fall,
Lie with me under the cover of the night,
Under the stars draped around the moon.
Free verse, About dreaming.
Leaves fall without fear,
trusting wind to hold their weight—
earth will catch them whole.
There are a dozen songs playing in my head
Melodies mixing together creating a mess of music
I am lying on my bed
Jumbled words like a sea without logic

Tears rolling down my cheek
For I left my heart open
It is strong but also weak
Things knocked it over and the glass is now broken

My ceiling fan stares down on me
Telling me all that needs to be done
I just need a moment in silence just to be
Things barely ever even seem fun

The whole day's energy
Was spent on keeping myself together
And now
I just need to be broken
I don't usually attempt rhyming, but I tried this time.

She smiles only in pictures
Her hair is growing long

With eyes closed
Au coucher du soleil
Her voice is dulcet
Her laugh is nexus

"Take me with you," she says.
"We'll make kites, we'll steal land."

The gentle arrival of rain
In the blue hour of
The portrait gallery
Makes her qualified to dream
About a serenade of water
And the blueberry boat

~
Once the depth of the earth spring rules,
Creation flows lulling life growing in gloom.

Softly lying there in slumber sweetly bestowed,
A spiritual being in their safe and loving abode.

Ages past, the brilliant beings becoming vain,
Light drains, drips like cruel toxic acid rain.

Evil's pendulum almost tolling the twelfth hour,
Severed now maternal connection, oh ego's power.

Time of innocence revered amongst grateful ones,
She preserves life, a sacred tree amidst pure sons.

Protectors, those left and in the Mother's favor,
Awaken the souls to our origin, then we save her.

I dreamt of a world in its time of purity,
Without corruption, the touch of obscurity.

Everything and everyone in balance, bliss harmony,
Lions lay with meek lambs, eco justice, not money.
Word count 126. A poem and a prayer for our home,  
for  Earth to heal
Surviving on the myth of a mystic beast,
Fleetingly perishing from sight, a dream.

The remembering of the forgetting,
Never assured, yet always right.

Satiate your being, raise your toast,
Cheers to the weak-willed mob!

Stick out your fangs, out with your soul,
To bear it all in the Above.

A monument is but a rock, feel free to raise one or more,
May they become an avalanche.

Waves come ashore shaping all the minds,
Unlike of carbon, the heart is cotton
am I an observer
or a participator,
this life, a reel or real
am I whole, or partial?
this is all surreal
are we living
or watching time spill
doing nothing
rotating in this cosmic realm,
starting where we started,
ending where we end,
rolling the rock up the mountain
watching it fall
traveling back up again.
what is the deal?
we know the prison,
let's dig up the tunnel.


am I a spectator,
or a perpetrator,
this death, a dream or dire,
am I fractured, or entire?
this is all infernal,
are we decaying,
or watching shadows crawl,
doing something,
descending into this chthonic realm,
starting where we're buried,
ending where we're born,
our remains part of the earth,
watching it crumble,
crawling back down again.
what is the ordeal?
we know the freedom,
Are we combusting chemical?
why do I always ask myself
is this
the most ..cked up
I ve ever been
when I m too ..ucked up to know?

(hey, maybe I m not fcked up??
maybe this is the way humans feel
all the time
maybe this normal and everyone else
is f
cked up!)

(lost the thought, what was I thinking, anyway? aaAAH,)

why do I always ask myself
is this...???
I exist in the abysmal state of solitude, where I, whose existence survives in profound literary pieces, could fall short of mere words penetrated—cast against me. Where would I be if I can't find the right words to say?

In front of me is a sweet orange juice menacingly teasing me with its dazzling pumpkin hue. Beside it is the apple pie I swore my life I would never put in my mouth. Yet, the sun glistened brighter when I gently put my fork down and absurdly ate it with my eyes closed.

The sadness that lingers deep within enthralls me more, as I swiftly swallow and digest it without tasting all its flavors—just so I can return to reality. I try to keep it all together, even as my spirit is crushed by the thoughts that seep in, nipping at the edges of my soul—through the cracked window of my vision, and the half-drunk orange juice. These thoughts keep coming in, like an intense downpour after a shower. I have tried to write this simply, yet I could never find the right words to say.

I could never forgive myself.
the first whole month of this year felt like unending closure and goodbyes of the past and the future. i wasn’t living in reality but between these two. a lot has happened from the first month until this day. i felt like a child trapped in a 20-something adult’s body, and it’s terrifying to know that i will never meet that child again. it’s like a cold january and a warm fuzzy december being distant yet closer in edge.

i still can’t fathom those thoughts that i am already an adult. i have to work and try and fail until i come of age and die. it’s unnervingly a hard pill to swallow. and it’s making me sad.
