Im just a young man
Looking for the truth of reality
Tragically knowledge and its absence
Left a casualty of character
Intangible beliefs left in heaps
Banged and battered
Beneath the battery of ignorance
Discovered by man with,
Thoughts hovered in cerebral;
Elevation looking down
Upon ants filled with elation
Where are these questions floor?
Only truth is there is none
2+2=4 and then some
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
3:36 in the morning
Thoughts choose to stumble
Drunkenly down paths
That evoke emotion

Describing said cognitives
Tends to be difficult
Especially when
Four letters rule

XYZT
Is all that I'm contained
And can be said
In the bat of
A lash or words in
Emergency situations

Emotions and balance
Tend to be friends
But my lesser happens,
To be obese

So weight I carry
Dead or alive it may be
But at least I can;
Feel my stomach,
Twist with the tears.
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
Where did you go?
I thought lifting up
A box searching,
Searching; for time

They said X would mark
Where I could find
Her heart resting
Right next to mine

But mine is me
And me not you
So she and me
Can be the only two
Each stanza's syllables add up to 17. I did this because 17 is a prime number and can only be divided by one. The feeling of being alone or the number one is expressed more thoroughly this way.
Nicholas Rew Jul 2012
**** that little *****'d ****** *** lick'n; Skid mark sitt'n
Horror written; Square to circle fitt'n
Kid in frame lifted; Menapose acting
Habit of rabidly crashing into walls of madness;
Precision in his crack-head tactics;
Sky's backdrop to average;
Newspaper wrapped is this devil's package;
He's a mask filled with gas from a bean eating flaccid fascist;
Disrespectful **** sack;
A testament to where God's blessing had left his breath;
And bitten lip was given; Heaven's sin times seven;
Building this living devil hell hole;
Logic of Kelso; Autistic clap of the elbows;
Destined for death row;
Festering hatred, New York to Sacramento;
******'s stencil by broke'n pencil;
Bigger ***** then Elmo;
Range of insanity; With driver in hand, You tee up family;
Frantically filling fantasy of being calamity personified as Anthony
Majority holder in depressions percentage;
Son of a Prada wearing father; Regarded by all as Caustic;
Temper Atomic; Reasoning Neurotic
Monotonic *******
Nicholas Rew Apr 2012
Considering belief, dispositions dutifully mixed
******* of skepticism, with ample deviation
Followed by a pony of existentialism riding in

Mad man's drink is bitter but,
At this point all he can accept
Chin deep in the highball glass

Sinking amongst the buoyant
Gulping down helplessness
Yearning for the forgotten island

Where belief was once believed
Nicholas Rew Aug 2012
Where, and why, and how, and what
Trust cuffed to absence; on the cot I cried
In my cave, too cold to care
Lost among a million point's in time
Horrific precision in their detachment
Some splendid smile he imagined
Nicholas Rew Aug 2012
I find imagination in the craziest places
Spirals stare through my dreams
Paintings knock me fluid
Soaking into existence

What a mixture, reality and me
Ideas dance like tree branches
Songs pierce the absence
Creations voice runs through

A composition by mighty pen
Infinities inkwell to dip
Poem of novel, set in itself
Beautiful confusion
Nicholas Rew Apr 2013
On the Eve of awakening
In a universe under my nose
Somewhere near adams apple
Two lives bound by time

Dreaming, and doing, dancing they went
Concocted crown sat on my head
Eyes met, "let there be light" was said
Illuminating exalted will divine
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
There was a time
Though I can hardly remember
When I was your August
And you my December

When I'd hold you with ying
As you'd kiss me with yang
Then we'd rest a top Alpha
While listening to omega

And sing to you sweetly
All the while sounding salty
At the time I shadowed sun
To the moon was your back

We laughed bitter tears
About crying joyous faith
So we lived ever loving
In an equilibrium state

But change is a constant
New variables introduced
I was never good at math
Somehow break was deduced
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
It's been said a million times
In a million ways
With a million rhymes
Still cannot help, but agree
That's the justice deserved
Expressing love shared
For this beautiful herb
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
The smooth surface of a snooze button
Probably pressed enough for two people
Lastingly longs for a lift of his head
Heavenly hopes in hand the button wafts herbaceous
Scents seducing his sack of sullen

The button beckons in unbearable vain
Wishing his waste of space could find work
Or motivation to move about the mattress
Cause cheerlessness corrupts even carefree things

Including myself inclined to intervene
So I will surround the room with sound
In a frustrating futile fling of furry
Until I encumber bereavement from bills I beckon upon.
Nicholas Rew Aug 2012
I grew from the belly
Of a secluded corridor
Surrounded by alone

Crying energy branching outward
Desperate for mothers touch
Hungry for purpose

Soot and saw dust hands
Incepting a concepts conception
To be given yourself

Glueing answers from questions
A palace of paradigms
Parts truer than whole

Looking for loopholes
Searching for stories
Digging for death
Nicholas Rew Feb 2012
First time our eyes met
You had to guide me through
Having left my compass at home
Just blissfully adrift
In your coffee brown sea

You softly called my name
Like mother to child
And slowly pulled me along
To the blackest of isle

It was there where I met you
With camp already made
The beauty of your soul
Consumed me.

I asked you where to dig
Telling me "dig and you will find"
I said "I could dig forever"
Replying "I've nothing but time"
Nicholas Rew Jul 2012
Her curves are attention adhesive
Smile is causality of my own
I sung to her like an old record player
You know, the kind with just enough mis-haps
To add something charmingly personal

Her eye's are the deepest divine
Richly brown, and equally bright
I kissed her like a one way ticket,
Composing a fork in the through
Spontaneity stacked upon desire

Her love is brilliantly benevolent
Profoundly unconditional, and sincere
It enveloped me like a crackling fire
When the snow is pressing down
A piece of heaven just for me
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
I am the bubble
Clinging ever tightly
To extremity ergonomic
Cavity containers

My place in life
I know not
And yet I remain
Because...

An outside force
Will one day,
Set me loose
Or **** me

Dependent On
The poem it
Decides to write
Nicholas Rew May 2012
Thoughts adhere to time

Perceptions nailed to space

Paradigm permits paradox

If the ladd(tt)er lacks a base



Assembling axioms by allegory

And sawing knowledge into faith

Decree drafting sets wills free

Deeding belief for key to grace
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
As a salty drop escaped
The crest of his weathered brow
He set down brick in hand
To leave it free for the desired

Immediately resting above pool blue eyes
Then angling his head back to examine pink skies

Longed for he did, to be taken by wind
That on rare occasion, would cool his skin

Work must be done, he was convinced
So rusty mason was picked up
In cement encompassed hands
And framed an inevitable fall.
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
Can you see my eyes?
And the good they see in you
The Beauty they find in the world
The judgements they try to reject

Can you see my eyes?
As they look into yours
And wonder what you see
The speckled brown like coffee

Can you see my eyes?
Constantly steady and unwavering
Looking for love in yours
So dependent on your approval

Can you see my eyes?
So lost and confused
Darting back and forth
In a dimly lit room

Can you see my eyes?
Leaking because there old
Withered lines drawn around
They make snow in the cold

Can you see my eyes?
With both of yours closed
Your sisters all in black
Consoling my broken soul
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
I thought about her
Through my daily
I played with the buttons
and drank a fifth
While kicking the globe
Then inhaled stench

forgetting the positives
That positivity could produce
I wallowed in worry
Love and Lust same seduced

Crying out only loud enough
For myself to warn my sober
I choked on half-baked truths
Caught the logic at the party
Dressed in Tie and Loafers

Laughed plainly at the joke
Then bare ***** intently
Knowing it reigned beneath
The gaze that was my ego

Jabs were thrown
Hooks and Hay-makers too
Fighting myself on space;
Space, in my server

So with limited function
And only so much time
And opportunities waiting
You, are The concern of mine
drunk love poetry.. does it really get better?
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
We fabricate contradictions
To argue with oppositions
And observe life's details
So I can claim a side

Then start a dialogue
With fists held tight
Just to rationalize myself
My reasoning reigns right

We go and we do
While assuming every step
Remains rooted in reality
Contradicting dreams we have slept
Nicholas Rew Apr 2012
Take a ****; On this life
Open the drawer; Grab a knife
Grip it firmly; Make a slice

Not to deep; Not to wide
Just enough; To make you cry
Choke them down; Before you drown

This ain't emo; These are thoughts
Topic too hot; For most to talk
But in his head; These things rock
His battered brain; Till he drops
Esteem reserves; So ******* low
That a smile; Would induce shock
Nicholas Rew Mar 2015
What system giveth me?
Maybe a novel, on a screen
In a play, in a dream

What entity indebted me?
Maybe I'm code, on a screen
In a game, of some being

What consciousness cares for me?
Maybe I'm all, not a screen
There's no gain, there's

Nothing
Nicholas Rew Apr 2015
It's difficult, purposturous even, for some to conceive
Of a life that is fought for

A sense of security earned
With every waking hour you've been cursed

They baffle at the mute colors with which you paint
And half heartedly smile,

As they pass, with their fluorescent teeth
Yours ***** and yellow

From the brown water that has become your gasoline
From the cigarettes that are now your oxygen tank

The good air is all bought up
The good food is all turned to ****

**** for you to envy
As you scrub

They will loan you a dream
Knowing it is an unclimbable mountain

Because they are waiting at the top
With the soul of a shoe

You eat stew out of habit
Always chasing the wild rabbit
#struggling #school #nomoney #minimumwage
Nicholas Rew May 2012
She was bleeding, crying, and queazy
Fear alone kept her from leaving
Knee deep in lonely; emotionally depleted
Bluntly touching, there was no loving
Indifferently *******, he was no husband
Drunkenly cussing; brokenly crumbling

She'd grown cold, old, and withered
Blankly staring into the mirror
In which a spider had grown upon
Not even it could escape his palm
Ready to fold; she no longer quivered
Figuring no one would even miss her

She looked through bruises, hate, and hopeless

Paint brush loaded;

sharply focused

Fingered trigger;

predicting scriptures

Abusive liver;



idle                                                                                                                 dither





Quondam shadows become formless

To be adrift in that unknown ocean..

On the path to enlightenment
You may find disappointment
If you are consciously seeking,
You will certainly not find
Enlightenment and yourself
Are one in the same

This same...

That is both...

Equates to...

                                                                                     Nothing

And..

                                                                                   Everything

The contradiction of the statement
Is just apart of it
It means..

Nothing

Yet it is..

**Everything
Nicholas Rew Aug 2012
Loud nothings prevail
Objections in why
Being tree to never fall
Nicholas Rew Jul 2012
Elation found in your infinite eyes
You forced my colors to redefine lines

Silhouette Skewed

One plus one gets confused while ****
Lust and logic dancing seductively

Emotions Emanate

Lips leave me lost on both fronts
You comforted an ego that was never built

Gentle Nothings

Had I found forever, openly hiding
We held happiness between our hearts
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
Good, My response
To her passing back
The sand blown
With the eyes of
Aesthetic in mind

Why that word
I thought as it
Vaulted off my tongue
With concepts of
Prison in mind

Sharp it flew
With purpose,
Purpose and poise
Like this time
Was the Million

Her ears shrugged,
Shrugged at the;
Assault of lies
That rested in my
Relative well being

With Life tuned
And voice an eighth
Churched praising the
Inevitably frowned

I pondered intently
The origin of should
And why green dependent
My; Lies of Good.
Nicholas Rew Oct 2012
Why did I stop,
Writing that is,
Games of hide and seek
Coyest the dream
Getting past by
Society in cab
To there next check
On the sixth list
Ever increasing, wants,
With if's

I forgot what the sky looked like
Or a tree yet pressed thin
Building the tunnel
Which will one day collapse

Maybe if I just,
Cut myself up,
Into the tiniest of pieces
There would be some left for me

Lord knows I've given in
Selling myself,
To the the devils lawyer,
But it's impossible to breath
No divergent existence
Prayers for content;
As I settle
Nicholas Rew Jul 2012
I like to dance while the dogs are falling
And a cliché of cats turn eight

To step in every puddle made
By the ever tired street

I like to think in hue's, of white and blue
Holding a paint brush or a pen

To say the loudest silence heard
By way of playing with pretend

I like to eat, when talk is cheap
And a "plate-itude" gets a laugh

To tip monsieur, with heavy hand
Buy the image consumers made

I like to love while I have the breath
And a-head, promises set in stone

To jump the forever with faith
By the greenest grass we lay
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
I was just a boy then
With a ketchup stained shirt
Had a mess of brown hair
Fingernails covered up dirt

I was just a boy then
When I would stare at the sky
And forget about schoolwork
Which compelled me to lie.

I was just a boy then
Fruit snacks in hand
Sat down to watch news
Just myself and old man

I was just a boy then
When toy soldiers were shipped
So I'd ask my dad why
Son that's just how life is

I was just a boy then
Could not fully understand
Why fighting and war
Made you more of a Man

But now I'm full grown
And still strain to see
How tears of a child
Could make anyone free.
Nicholas Rew Mar 2012
Unmotivated by mundane
I mirrored minds Meta-
Contrived cognition was the condition
To compose concretely the matterful agenda

Lines are only written
When stimulating inhibition
So I brewed up a prescription
To allow me a peace of mind

Branching out like a child
During the first day of school
I pondered intently a question
Already dismissed by fools

Last lucid breath lingers
Is it inception or indifference
Fitting finale or frightening fallacy
Eloquently exposed, exemption of esperance
Nicholas Rew Oct 2014
I want to fall in love so hard I can't get up
I hope for romance so breathless, my heart becomes a base drum
Loudly intensifying, calling to me, confused
Laying there, contently aware, the past is pessimistic
Introduce silent futures to the boisterous blues

Do you long to see the sweater stitched
Are questions your only communication
I can't dance, but would love to sit and talk
About the hem of your pants, or how earnestly you walk
And read to you the stories being written each day
Nicholas Rew Jul 2012
Reality manifests itself
It was written
Higgs Bosson blossomed from
Theory'd vision

To

Living solution; Evolution

From

Subjective conception

Leading

Objective lesson on boundaries
And their inception
By our own perception
Nicholas Rew Dec 2011
Longing for the one
Who has shortened
Her song
Erasing my name
And filling with another

I knew this would come
Foreseeing the inevitable
But it all happened
So fast...

If A genie
Stumbled upon my desires
Surely it would replace
That dreaded F with L

Then again I could rest
My head next to yours
Because my thoughts are heavy
And your eyes so strong

Your were lovely tonight
Although it kills me to say
We just couldn't make it right
Then I let you walk away

Ambition and lust
Came knocking at my door
I turned them away
With no you, just chore

You were my love song
Every note pumping my heart
Remembering the singing  
In this quite winter
Nicholas Rew Mar 2015
Why must passion be frustratingly entangled in melancholy
The words remembered are acidic; a teary brine
Nights of foraging your soul alone hang in the hallways
When the only drunk that's worth a **** is nostalgia
And the only ink in the universe is trapped by old letters

You drown any fire mercilessly, unflinchingly
Because at least the colds consistent
And at least you've learned to cope
Breakdowns are receding with miles of open road
Nights of infinite stars drape a world's worries
Nicholas Rew Jan 2012
Isolated faces paradoxically surround
Bound by wants infinity
I strayed away from banks
Cause greed was just to trendy
The idea of friends and numbers
Threw me to the ground
Figured we'd crown 4 quarters instead of 100 pennies
Swede shoes, silk shirts, and bentleys
By some is defined as plenty
While little Lenny with stomach empty dreams of Denny's
Or some water or a Father would help immensely
Afgani blowing and Hennessy gulping MC's
Take their aperture and narrow it densely
Make millions off the Emmys some how erases Memories
Of pennies struggling in this world
Mother fiend'n they're just fending
Against the many
In class they're considered lowers
Below us they just a penny
I say our morals need reordered
cause no doubt that they're all Quarters
And deserve entry into this bank of respect
That has become run by hoarders
Loving to build borders 3 times the size
Of their self righteous shoulders
This is a disassembly of a culture surrounded by sentries.
I enjoy writing some hip hop verses every once in awhile and this is all that was intended when writing the piece

How many letters lost in limbo
How many thoughts washed up no more
Mortal Memories lie motionless behind a window
Heavenly hopes in hand; To reunite upon that shore
Nicholas Rew Jul 2012
Clothes peeled
Head revealed, Wet dreams
Destiny of ecstasy
Ego in weaponry, Ejecting to to please

Coveting love
Sewing seams, Doves beam
Three hundred and sixty degrees
Entering the front, Holding up your knees

Lavishly designed
In Pink
Comforting, Unable of thinking
But you, Im prodding
Poking
Choking on my breath

Your *******
Barley audible, Yes's and mores
With over tones of moaning

Together One
Hot as the sun
Lord knows you came
You beg me to ***
Unable to listen
I unconsciously give in

Fulfilling wishes
Washing in bliss's
I wanna save your kisses
Can I..

Hold you
In limbo


Forever, From reality
We Sever, Severely Loving
You Dearly
Clearly

I'm at peace when you are near me
Nicholas Rew Apr 2012
****** knuckles
     From drunken stumbles
                                    That took his pie
         He had named humble
Ready to rumble
                                                                              Were the words he mumbled
                    In a fit and fumble
                                       To find his                               *mind


                                                                                                                                                   More than buzzed
He had become bumbled
                                                                             Just one more shot
Until he
stum    bled
                                   Out the doorway c r u m b l e d

Few ones in his pocket crumpled
      Left from cans funneled
                             I   mpairing cortexes pre                     frontaled
                                                                                                                 Visiontunneled and memory black
He laid down in the street
                                                                            *For an eternity of nap
Nicholas Rew Apr 2012
I had already felt the strain
Time pressed on though, rope was frayed
Acting commenced, Loving partner of anguish
Gravity sat back, as we improvised this play

"Parody!"

                                            Laughing
"With, or at?"

If the rope of reason gives way
Could we compose conclusions,
Or even; Correct convictions
That have been nursing dry

"What do you feel at this moment?"

"Confusion"

"Your so **** predictable!"

To what angle had this slanted?
To what ground had it fell?
To what will choose this cancer?

"Hahahaha You! ******* you!"

From blackness, I knew no whole
I am the pig that grew it's wings
The meaning of life in bite sized pieces
Lights, triumphant defeater

"Your a ****"

When did the devil
Become so large
That he needed
Both shoulders for dwelling?

"You are a puppet to yourself"

"Now amuse me"

Tear drop slips down a crevice
Tempting tongue of captive man
He once knew, he once knew
But now rests, In quickest sands
Nicholas Rew Apr 2012
Conditioned in the silky soft subtleties of self scolding

Following fools rehearsals I rinsed to repeat

Cold lentic ceased commands as it and confidence cascaded

Swirling centered in this cesspool

Convictions encompassing the spectrum

Congruently caved in
Nicholas Rew Jun 2012
She's a chord of cerebral
A beat below bombastic
Tasteful tone of tremble
Reasonably resonating..

Finding her forte in nuance
A harmony of giocoso strings
Amidst melodies con dolce


Teasing crowds with pacato


Mindful maestro of motifs
Muse amongst men emanates
Unconscious choir's cue


Carefully crescendo..


She's an omaggio to breathlessness
An aisle filled spectacle
Treasured tune of transcendental
Eternally encored..
Nicholas Rew Jun 2012
I miss you, no really,
If there was a way to see me now
Restless nights; new comforter
Coolest pillow faking your hug

I crave you though really,
Been drinking myself salty
Searching for your smile
In the bathroom mirrors archives

And I smell you so distinctly
Bouquet of insatiable longing
Remnants you left me
Please don't ask for them back

Cause I can hear you speak sweetly
Sometimes; sleep deprived
Writing words made from wishes
Imagination knows no distance

And as I feel your breath's strength
My weakness feels indifferent
Bumps consume uncovered skin
Joyful teeth rise with the sun

Since I miss you still really,
Since you really are my love
Nicholas Rew Nov 2011
Sitting, a peculiar thing
Being that it is,
A contradiction to evolution
Giving us opportunities

Opportunities to do
To go and accomplish
To run fast, slow
To jump up high
To squat down low
To reach towards the sky,
Or roll people out of snow.

Still we choose to sit
And watch televisions glow
Nicholas Rew Dec 2011
What would be something
If there was never nothing
Reliant you might say
Are the two stages of life

We are certainly something
I think therefore I am
But My thoughts are ever fleeting
Is this all part of the plan

I love
I hate
I am grateful it seems
But at the end of our breath
What does it all really mean

I smile
Then Lie
Like there was never a grin
Now constantly asking
Are we just living to die

Philosophical studies
Trips through colored flowers
Eroded cheek bones from tears
Meanings of which lost

Year to year building
Yet in a constant fall
Drifting closer to nothingness
Every single something involved
Nicholas Rew Mar 2012

  (5 Minutes of Silence)

This feels so silly, but it helps I think
I see a marlboro **** on the ground
It reminds me of you
Well from the little we shared
I was eight; you understand

  (No Response)

I don't smoke although;
The sun is hard at work on my hair
We never really discussed
These questions that I
Try to bring back in time
But the past was my present
So I wore that cowboy hat
And sniffed for squirrels
With pockets full of bb's

(No Response)

Is death everything you longed for?

(No Response)

Hope it is though I know not
If you could would you share?

(No Response)

I can almost make out your face
In the green and yellow grass
With two pieces of bark
Trying to define up
Unfortunately the leaf envisioned  
As the mouth for me to speak
Got too caught up
In the winds silent song

(No Response)

Is it peaceful, sublime?
In that dirt decomposed
Or were the fantasies true
Did you float up as a soul?

(No Response)

Down here we breath
We think we think, then we go
Conjuring questions without answers
You don't answer much

(No Response)

Is the realization there are none?

When did truth become treason?
When did reason become remorseful?
When did this freedom become fabricated?
When did this peace making become forceful?
