a piece of advice-
don't let moments pass you by
fear's the enemy

boiling hatred
rises from the depths of me
directed at you

I WRITE LIKE I SPEAK.

HOWEVER

I WRITE BECAUSE I CANNOT SPEAK


pretty useful talent right?

I am..... Was...
Something, something, someone.
So many names, places and so many faces
so many. So many....
Seeking
I am.... Was....
Seeking peace, my peace,
your peace, our peace.
Please.
I lost you. Didn't I?                                                  (Didn't I?)
Poets DO have issues!
Poets are insane!
We have a different record groove,  
We have a different grain!

We have a different wiring
Don't respond to "normal" tests
We are the fish who climb up trees
Of this I can attest!

(chorus)
Poets hear their colors,
Poets see their songs,
Poets touch the music notes
They taste to sing along!

We wear t-shirts in 10 feet of snow
Coats in sunny climes!
We have no sense of timing
'Cept when we write our rhymes!

We go out in stormy weather
When it's clement we stay in!
We eat pizza in the morning
Write limericks on a whim!

(chorus)

We are calm when life gets frustrating
Mad when things go well!
Write rants when times are blissful
And sonnets when it's hell!

We travel to the Moon and back
Wear Stardust in our hair
We know the very Cosmos
Sitting in our chair!

Our pens they scratch a tympany
Our pages plumb the depths
Of profound Pacific trenches
Or drown in puddles wept...


We have a different wiring
Don't respond to "normal" tests
We are the fish who climb up trees
Of this I can attest!

Poets hear their colors!
Poets see their songs!
Is that so ridiculous?
Folks, is that so wrong?

Poets hear their colors
The colors of the heart!
Come and see this song with us

Let your mind fall apart!

I'm speaking strictly for me actually...
But can anyone else do this sing-along?

Lol! Thanks for reading!

gray rain
As a society we are unable to help each other,
unable to notice something's wrong.

We've tried to create a perfect world
so perfect that it will crumble
because perfect is different to everyone.

We try separating ourselves
from those who hurt us
but the pain and suffering has gone on too long.

We have become as a society self absorbed
trying to climb the hierachy whilst we all sink lower and lower as one.
