Trust in the change
Have faith in the flux
It's always this way
Running in and out of luck
Nate ere Jul 2014
Hold the Sun above your head
While He holds you beside Him
Nate ere Jul 2014
Out on the brink of that infinite sea
The inimical tide
Crashing over me
Adventure and death
A beautiful turmoil
Ever so, I hold my breath
Peacefully loyal
Nate ere Jul 2014
many much, many more
the words are scattered on the floor
I kick them with my careless feet
until the poems themselves complete
Nate ere Jan 2015
Sustainable life
Sounds boring and trite

If you stand there alone
like a rock in the night

How will you know
Just what can be

If you never let go
You can never be free  

Let your life touch the light
If only you dare

Let's explode through the sky
In one solar flare
Nate ere Jul 2014
Of all the tasks our God has blessed
Poets rejoice in those of ***
To rip the heart from a beating chest
Cast it forth - and sayeth 'fetch'
Nate ere Jul 2014
Know one thing - Know all things
Err the first thing - Doomed for suffering
Know one thing - The air can sting
The water drown - And the hydra sing

Falls in place - A rightly suited case
He always throws a fair stick to chase
Nate ere Nov 2014
many, much
many more
the words are scattered
on the floor

I kick them with my careless feet
until the poems themselves complete

many, much
many more
the path is shining
on the floor

I let the currents - low they sweep
take me away unto the deep
Nate ere Sep 2014
You beckoned me
I fell to you
and with our hands
you slowly drew
The picture; us

A single sound
Our single breath
In perfect time
In style, In step

The world stood still
I could have cried
This moments thrill
Has danced and died
Nate ere Jul 2014
Sensation smooths it likes to follow
Truth is sharp and hard to swallow

The eye serves forth a tasteful feast
Snares women dressed as hungered beasts

Redundancies in clarity
All's death and love in Verity
Nate ere Feb 2015
All I have to say about big business:
Where are the dinosaurs now?
Nate ere Sep 2014
taking pains
what a chore
a whimpering beast
pawing at my core
asking me to care...

to love all, in care
when all is not worth loving
such is my despair

the world screams for me:
acknowledge!
where there are no eyes
God is hurting
Nate ere Aug 2014
my restless mind dost strive to sleep
In vain I yawn and ponder on
furthermore the questions creep
were wake the night and not the dawn
In fact my yawn had strived complete
Nate ere May 2015
He's a lover, not a fighter. They said.

I fail to see the distinction. She said.

Love is the greatest fight of all.
Nate ere Jul 2014
Remember the time we walked as a group
It was down by the river – I bet that you do
I didn’t know you, and you didn’t know me
But that didn’t matter – apparently
You brushed up beside me and sweetly said “hi”
I fell in love with you then, but I didn’t know why
We started to talk, and I put on my charm
Hoping my heart wouldn’t cause you alarm
But it usually does, and I think that it did
I looked for you later, but I think that you hid
That didn’t stop me, it made me search more
For the soft-eyed earth angel – I had to adore
I love you, you see, and I think I know why
Because love always says – let’s give it a try
Nate ere Feb 2015
I love you, stranger.
Nate ere Jul 2014
Soulful beast here sleeps
But ever the low heart beats
To catch her sacred kiss
Winds him for the working day
Nate ere Jan 2015
Love, that pendant light
which in the night glows brighter
as you look away
Nate ere Oct 2014
And when the world affronts me
with adventure and death

I'll be by the water
crooked smile laughing with life on my breath
Nate ere Jul 2014
Walk with me - foot to foot
like mirrors gleam across the Earth

Press on me - I will too
Together we'll ascend to truth

Lovers of gravity
Will feel the pull from all sides meet
Nate ere Oct 2014
Scurry surface poet
there isn't much time
you've been swept by the stream
of the regular rhyme

If your words only go
to the places they know,
If they're nailed to the Earth
Then how will they grow?

Let them branch out
and watch them unfold
Let them ascend
and they'll never get old
Nate ere Oct 2014
we remember man is cursed
to always love the self first
but always we forget to guide
with the boundaries of self in mind
Nate ere Oct 2014
We crawled about the brightest childhood
Eye's pining at the luster  
and to our dismay
when at last we stood
alone and adjusted
the world seemed a dark and senseless structure
Nate ere Aug 2014
My Brush is Law
My colors creep
My canvas - an eternity
My higher mind combine all three
Each one is nothing without thee

My faithful Brush - where did you go?
Your bristles lost amid life's pallet
Stirring songs deep into the rainbow
We forget the first and last of ballads

Oh color - grand fixture of my slanted my eye
Is it that I'm deceived and really truly Blind?
If shown the fact in reason - A good man must decide
To believe in colors is not a curse - but the blessing of disguise

My canvas of creation - invisible inside
Through every smear you never stained and never once cried  
You hold the world upon your skin
Even when it has peeled and dried
Through life and death - through love and sin
My canvas stands - A silent friend
Nate ere Jul 2014
Still suffering
For a stay-at-home life
Stale, boring, uninspired
Clandestine, cozy security
Direction null, for now
He'll make a story of you yet
Nate ere Jul 2014
Plucks a lonely note on His golden lute
My Lord save the seed - for I am the fruit
Nate ere Jan 2015
We sleep in cubes
We walk in lines
Lets not be victims
Of the times
Nate ere Feb 2015
Don't you know I'm
the skinny ink line
that is traced
through the maze
of your heart

— The End —
