I lost a great friend to a lonely suicide, his parents have always been on the run looking for that place to hide
His dad , such a big man, such a big ****, his mum as long as I've known her she likes to fill an emptying glass
Day one of free air till last inhaled, my friend was engulfed with torture, to its  parameters of pain he was impaled
Anger and frustration , the perpetrator of mans downfall, an age old collaboration
The love of many can mildly quench a burning thirst but there is a place from which it should come unrehearsed
Its a flawless love that never ceases to give ,  and helps to reassure , brings that light of sanity and warmth when life can be so cruel and impure

The sun falls from fiery skies, it saturates the optics of my work weary eyes, with its warmth its glow of beatific boundaries it brings an everlasting surprise
The colours, they are  indescribable as they merge, my soul they caress, ambience rains as they purge, cars could speed by and I would just stand and watch from the grass verge
Beauty of existence it surrounds, it envelopes the pain and brings justice to insanity,                                                   the transition from dull and grey of the everyday norm into an iconic and and blistering vision of perfection could so easily tear a man from his armchair pack stuff into a bag and head for the hills, only to be seen atop some fan as the sun sets his shadow to the valley below
How could you not be astounded by the sheer magnitude of beauty and pleasure from our saviour, mother earth and nature, your eyes must be bleached by  man made fibres, by your resilience to accept never your role, as an integral part of the machinery of motion, the wheels that turn and the fires that burn
This mass of fusion you see it is the god of whom you speak the idol and prophet you seek, they are the dictator the population manipulator , the aggressor and the suppresser of life , it is they who give  and they who taketh away .
It was a great sunset , twas as if the Sahara plains had bared her riches for all to see
A frozen arctic sun splashed terrain it could so easily be
No justice in my words for the heavens you speak of were right there in front of my
Babylon my home, into  Elysium and I am free

What can be done
Under our mother , the sun
To become
So much more than we ever could have imagined

We have killed
We have emotionally thrilled
Reality we have distilled
Is it that we have missed the point and surpassed expectations

No more mountains to climb
No more transcendence into the spiritual sublime
No more surprised by the latest crime
We still search and endeavour for that discovery that defines, ignoring simplicity and soulful structure

No more writing
No more playing
Just plain and easy sailing
Taking with us no pain, no sorrow
Taking a dream , a reality of another tomorrow

Its not really about the science of space
Or the expensive augmentation of someone's face
How low you can be does not impress, just brings more disgrace
It is about humanity, acceptance , philanthropy and the denial of the egotistical eccentric wealth endowed weapon of mass hysteria

So much more to be done
Under our great sun
Just to move from the past and into a bright future
No more a slave to this caveman computer, this system of social manipulation, just a free soul , with no strings to control
nico papayiannis Jan 2017
Weapons of mass distraction
Words and ways of our modern days
Globalized, the radical powers who seek truth and justice amidst their treacherous tyranny
Nations of innocents , swathes of unknowing citizens base their very existence upon the dreams of these peddlers of preposterous propositions,

Did you see it?
No you didn't,
Did you hear it?
You might think you did,
Did you imagine it?
You more than likely did

Read it in the papers, on the web, and on the faces of the faceless free
The manipulation of humankind to feed the greed of the wanting hand,
This horrifying overture of oppression disguised as liberty has managed to extract every morsel of dignity from our naked flesh,

Can you feel it?
I bet you can
Can you smell it?
You really can't miss it,
Does this taste of torment take root inside?
It probably does and just burns with its acidic tide

All for nothing is not how it all should be
All around us the glories of the inglorious is not what we want to see
The beholders of our apocalyptic abortion
Grandmasters' of our demonic distortion
nico papayiannis Jun 2016
There is no real doubt
In or out,
Still some over privileged will shout
Commands and demands
Life, its just a levy
A burden so heavy
You can have plans and dreams
So long as they fall within the takers schemes
You can exercise your freedom of speech
Into the psyche of the rich and powerful it will never reach
This world is not mine , its not yours
It seems to belong to those of another cause
A global system of corruption
Of mass manipulation
Never has this been just some artistic assumption
nico papayiannis Jan 2019
A world so cruel
Brandishes me a fool
Uses me as a tool
And now I worship
The Gods of power
I pay my tax
To take just five
And relax
Watch a pixilated screen
To furnish my dream
Live as an imposter
Someone else's life I could foster
But as the smokescreen lifts
They disappear
My golden gifts
Now naked to a world
At first glance , weird,
Taught in the old days
To be feared
But here they do not punish
You are left alone to flourish
Grow wild with the land
On your own feet stand
Exist to experience, to enlighten,
And to purely exist
Authority looms
Yet autonomy blooms
Forever to fight
Forever to resist

Defy understanding
A problem upon which
My thoughts have been expanding
I know of faith and its conundrums
I know of drugs and their hallucinations

Understanding forgotten
As you embrace the deception of your perception
The words you hear spoken with divinity
They take you into a trance-like tranquility
And much like the hypnotised
You'll take anything pre-described

Knowledge disputed
Science rebutted
So many debates
Too many aggressive complaints
Agree to disagree
Shake hands and walk away free

To defy understanding
Is to deny the facts,
simple truths that simple folk like to simply ignore
Maybe the inner soul of mine is dark ,
deranged and destitute
Tied and shackled to another institute
Perhaps my eyes have opened to the need
for something more substantial
And not just wallowing
in the realms of the circumstantial

Is it too much to ask
Break the mould, escape the cask
Our false imprisonment
Our social dilemma, our unholy sacrament

Shaped and ***** by despots and desperados
Served and sequin lined by an abundance of anarchic aficionados
Cruel and abusive
Our systems are corrosive

The economies dictate dilemmas and chaos
An onslaught of modern emotions
There is no guilt to be found inside possession
With no real Gods by your side you grow obese with your obsession

Unimpressed
I'm glad my life has digressed
Far from the enshrined rituals, the daily dazed dances of distraction
The quest to experience and excite shall be my main attraction
nico papayiannis Jan 2017
I write to spite
A world enthralled with the massacre of solitude
A world born crude
And through the back door it grew into this monster
This anarchic regime of the intimidation of an individualistic code
So your abode
Your humble palace
Watch it burn in a rich mans chalice
The drug of choice
For an autocratic voice
High on power and rushing on the blood of those who suffer
Their kicks kick in as we turn against each other
No longer can their atrocities
Be forced upon us as our responsibilities
As consciousness  grows and insecurities fail
The reality of the indignation, is all you can inhale
So all those thoughts of prosperity ,wealth, appearance and social acceptance
May they perish and persuade us no more
It will end the way it started
The chaos of when destiny has departed
The illegitimate ways
That have blighted our days
Lost amidst the thrill of the unknown
Forever forgotten as we who are left to reap the rewards of the seeds we have sown
nico papayiannis Apr 2017
We don't talk
We won't talk
Problems grew
Far beyond me and you
The silence it calms
No reason
To take to arms

We accept the reasons why
Side by side
We walk on by
I don't speak your name
Mine is never heard
No emotions to exchange
All memories now
Way beyond blurred

I saw an old figure
Hunched,  but familiar
Whispering words
Words of regret
How time so quickly
Does seem to pass
Drinking from an empty glass

In a broken mirror
I can see
The person I blame
The person who won't talk to me
nico papayiannis Dec 2019
The world awaits
The glory shines
Heads are bent
And hearts are heavy

Twisted emotions
Twisted reason
In essence unjust
And ideology simply sings

A barren land
The wasted ground
Upon which we dream dreams
We nurture painful prosperity

Your soul
It has a hole
It weeps in anguish
Forgotten, frozen

No longer the significant
Just a life of detriment
Below a line of sanity and simplicity
Dust on the sand
Dust
On the sand

I dropped a penny into the ocean of dreams, the sea of wishes
Money wasted, mercury tasted
As the ebb and flow my thoughts distort
It now takes precedence the desire to determine, the clear future of clouds, of life without,,
Taken and distributed through a system of abuse
Tongues tied , fingers worn to  callouses, emotions overcome by paralysis
This ocean feeds the river that drowns me and my soul
My bubble has burst
My troubles have come home to roost
nico papayiannis Apr 2016
So busy saving the planet that we have overlooked our own salvation

With plans in motion we try to turn the tides of the ocean

So distant we are from our unifying solution

To keep us on the tracks of our evolution

We save icebergs , animals and trees

We stand by and watch as we do to each other what we please

We take and squander so much to satisfy a variety of tastes

With so little thought as how to replace
nico papayiannis Jun 2019
Our world, is in a horrendous state of repair
Problem is
There's not enough people
Who truly care
We can't just move to the 4th rock from the sun
We can't just tax the world and pray that the problems are simply undone
Our resources might just be on reserve
And we have the intelligence to preserve
So is it the gluttonous retention of wealth that handcuffs us to a stalemate
Or our misguided judgements of the hysterical hypocrisy hemmed into a society that deems a healthy environment less important than who is next to dishonour as they dictate
It shall be cataclysmic
Our efforts to avoid and avert?
Quite honestly,, pathetic,
Our self worth
This is reflected
On our treatment of earth
Down here, we are trying
To nurture nature as she sits crying
Up there aloft, where the orders command and the pockets demand
They are flying
As we perish from existence
As we struggle to even stay alive
As we prepare for Armageddon
Our dooms day procession
Feel rest assured
If our intolerance towards change isn't cured
Then it is only the planet that shall survive
Our prosperity
Can never be exchanged for our integrity
Let the glory of our existence
Be the definition of  our humanity
nico papayiannis Feb 2016
It would seem that the seed of doubt and uncertainty does surround this existence of ours
As much belief you have in god is as much as I have that this divine presence is nothing but rooted in mythology and misconceptions
I cannot and will never try to denounce or undermine your moderate and harmless thoughts on the answer to , undeniably our burning question of seed of creation.
You too should not or really ever try to eradicate or efficiently ostracize any thought or philosophy that seeks to distribute its wealth of wisdom in another way contrary to yours.
Looking inwards from way out there , someone, somewhere may just be watching, a glimpse at this apparently unsurpassable mass of genetic mutation that has resulted in one of the only as of yet discovered intelligent species in such an unexplainable vastness of confusion. The findings of such an unbiased study would find that upon this infinitesimal piece of rock most its occupants live their lives much like the darkness that surrounds, chaotic  shambolic and ignorant to their unique stature, their unimaginable greatness.
Locked in a constant war on differences that have managed to eternally segregate and perpetuate a hatred that fuels a fire , a destructive blaze that has consumed wisdom, engulfed logic and appears to be quashing all hopes and ambitions of those who seek for themselves and primarily their children's lives , a future of certainty, a future where serenity and peace are the reasons to be, the reason to do, a future above all, silent of war and unified in defiance of aggression.
A lifetime wasted on the burden of proof rather than the warmth of acceptance
A lifetime wasted on the want of so few being the depression of so many
Just a life time simply wasted

I am not really sure
What I am actually here for
I know its not to sing and dance
Or put you all into a trance
I know I've got words
And they must fly from the nest
But what to do or say
I never know what's best
Maybe sit maybe stand
But always at hand
Something to write and say
How I sometimes see our day to day
How my nerve endings react how I feel
When nothing seems quite real

So much more soul destroying

Deprived, deprived
Don't really know how I've survived
Oxygen bleeds
Contaminates the seeds
Sanity removed
Early on it was proved
It has no place and bears no relevance
When filling your time with reluctance

Shimmer, shimmer
The line is hazy,
The line grows thinner
Tolerance provoked
Ownership revoked
This cavern surrounds
Release the hounds

Turmoil is tempting
Boredom has you sweating
The ritualistic religious
Fed intravenous
A social collapse
As wisdom takes on an indefinite relapse

Despair, despair
Thick and heavy everywhere
Assisted happiness
A man in a dress
A man in a suit,
Tailored to fit
Poised to sit at the table of dysfunction
To alleviate is to negotiate
Give over your name
Join the freeze frame

Sever your heart to secure a release
Or risk the loss of every piece
The food you eat
The air you breathe
Sent to feed
But also used to deceive
America

Certifiably

The perception you have
This cloud that mars your judgement
A lack of compassion
And of vision
Has handed to me
Your transition
From lover to long term sufferer
And my metamorphosis
From your rock, to the reason,
We may never recover

How time has cracked
The fate we sealed
How nonchalance and reluctance
Have become the swords we yield
No time it would seem
To continue to dream
Just to watch the harvest burn,
Of our fallow field

We subside into solitude
The construction of,
Our pre fabricated fortitude
And all the worries, the strains
And the stress
They all shall drown
As our lives digress

No passing of grace
Just a funeral pyre
With time it douses
The burning desire
To turn run and find
All those years we left behind
Discarded with ease
No longer here to please
This heart-breaking separation
Now has become my emancipation

From chaos she came, to tame the rain,

She stole my heart ,she stole  my soul, left love in its place, left me with this look on my face

The chaos has dispersed, and the love has grown ,  shadows remain, of the seed first sown

When a fire meets an ocean, when the flames frantically fade, a point of singularity, a life now calm, content with its clarity

With fear I cry, the paranoia parades profoundly, the fate that would await if the life we have now made, in a different way was played

An exile in the void, a ****** to all the memories destroyed, to chaos I could never return, sit and watch my deepest love, my whole life simply burn

The unity of marriage, never could it define, there are no words in a poems finest line, your beatific beauty cuts rigid streams through my dementia , my confusion, it is but endless and divine the love we have that holds no exclusion

From the chaos she came to tame the rain, from that day my life was never to be the same

Kicking and screaming
void of dreaming
into this world
I was tied and hurled

It was horrible and cold
I stood bold
a dark and meaningless day
and I have grown in a strange way

A witness to the prohibition
with sour ambitions
travelling pillar to post
wondering if I am my own host

With no options but survival
you can excel amidst the unfruitful
planning for death
counting every last breath

Lost inside a dysfunctional touch
it hurts so much
this existence of animosity
a belief in an atrocity

Life is banned
no reason to understand
a sea of sand
the harvest of the ******

The dream has expired
For the boss has been fired
From their aspirations
You built your own inspirations
And as they crash, burn and fade
You sit watch and realize,
The dream was one that someone else had made
They say dreaming is for fools
One of life’s survival tools
As the strain takes hold
As life suffocates the ambitions you hold
You walk into the storm
Forgetting all you have learnt and been told
Walk a path of your own footsteps
Dream if you shall
But make it real
The essence of life
Should be the positive you feel
Bring joy to yourself
For it is here you have the strength to give joy to others
Love respect and feed your soul
This is the place where the love of life is made
And your turn at being supreme is being played
Live to love,
And just love to live
There truly is no better gift
That we can give

My word is my bond, the politician lied, through milky white bleached teeth, a snarl springs to mind, a hyena I think

Promises of nothing more than irreconcilable intricate initiations, integral, unsavoury, biased and deranged

A set of broken scales line their halls of judicial justifications, pay to provide to elevate the highest order , the cruelest tongue

Vile little creatures is how we are expressed when discussed in such high circles of zero morality and a gene sharing ethnicity

So very aware and yet nonchalance of manner and the resilience towards the common being holds this rank and file far from the temper struck troops,

As we can easily perish they can so easily cherish, embrace and rule a world scorched by their own heresy, a world void of love , empty of meaning

I'll take my words, my ideas, my master plan ,
I'll not fall foul of life from a tin can

If there is a destiny if there is a reason to define
Then these politicians of premeditated symbolic systems
Can understand that my thoughts for them are inert ,
And my time for them shall be there when the planets realign

Locked in a box
In the room of a flat
On the 18th floor            
Of high rise block seven

A light shines dim
Through a dusty pane
Of forgotten social dreams

Crying for the pain
That lives in the box
Of sadness and solitude

Beauty sleeps
In a parallel dimension
The adjacent dwelling
Unprovoked
With its telepathic tendencies

Death walks in
Birth falls asleep

This air that feeds
Soothes and prolongs
It burns and rapes
All day long

No one is ever too big to be told,
Never could they, pay enough gold
In defiance against them I will stand bold
And condemn their actions as callous and cold

The stature of your status has your head up your own ****
Violated vision through an oil stained glass
Masses sit and learn how to spread the disease in an overcrowded class
The perpetuation of a modern day farce

Life ******* leech
On your pedestal you preach
Into the distance your sermon does reach
Let the contamination wash up
On your private beach

An uprising
Would not be surprising
As there is no disguising
Our rights to peace and freedom
They are compromising

I cannot fly
I cannot soar
But across the concrete caves
I can roar
Through the oceans
I cannot glide
Trapped on land
I can cross the divide
As a tree I'll not grow
Impervious to time and its pain
But I can lay the roots
To keep me from the insane
Like the wind that whips
A formidable force
The sun and rain
Who follow their own course
I try to be
Like them free
But I cannot fly
I cannot soar
If only for myself though
I can be so much more

It is true that we all have an identity and it is true that it has been with us since birth,
It is also true to say that we as certain and specific individuals have chosen to ignore disregard and change our supposed identity in exchange for one that is perhaps only coherent to them and their thoughts
It's a “ chicken and egg” argument, what came first , the body or the mind?
Did consciousness slowly evolve as it was gently dipped or violently thrown into an abandoned society, or was a new-born childs greatest gift an unseen preordained fabrication of it's own existence

The world around, this is the mind at large
So how can you be judge and jury
When you're fostering an identity
Of which you are not in charge
To be what you desire
Is the answer for one
But to be what you are
Is the answer for all
And if it is a battle
Between body and mind you are torn
Then the simplicity
Is not an irrational irregularity
It's the power of reason to understand
That the mind of constraints came after
The physical was born
It is the eyes that see
And a mind that you follow blindly
Knowledge at birth
Wisdom with age

I can live in a world
where your God does rule
And if I am one of those brandished a fool
But can you live a world void
Of all the faith you have employed
Where we are here
Truly alone
And humanity not piety
Sets the common tone

I can live with your fears
Your preconceptions
But how would it be
If you were  free
Of all of your discerning deceptions
Could you survive
Would your dignity take a dive
Could you embrace the flamboyant
Or would it all become so abhorrent

The risks of reason
The tricks of treason
We all can become too attached
To the ideals our lives have hatched
Tangent away from a unified vision
Settling for nothing more than our selfish disposition

We can remember our history
But it should not be the way we choose to continue
We can live together
If we share an experience not based around
A biased point of view
Yes to the freedom of expression
But no to it's parasitic self righteous procession
If this world were divine
Then it wouldn't be yours
And it wouldn't be mine
It would be ours
And we all would shine

The impatience of my patience
Impetuous instinct inspires the insipid, the dream of no colour
Intolerable ideas of individuality
Now defined in the shattered reflection of a frivolous fantasy
Just before
You take so much more
The benevolence of existence
Distracts us from the instance
And if it all ends
If all signs of hope are extinguished
Then all morality is relinquished
I shall not suffer, run for cover
I will not bow down to the knees of any other
I am resurrection , I am now free

Responsibility starves ,
The naked trails that inspiration carves.
Solitude, my fortitude,
Locked away with my creation.
It breathes , it evolves
The devil dissolves.
At play in the mind,
All you are, afraid to find.
Tenacious truths sweating on my brow
I think the darkness needs to go now.
The return, as all is purged and new pastures parade propaganda
Through my solace I shall meander

If it is your colour that resonates
If it is your race that dictates
Then maybe you shall never move
Far from the roost
From your cultured standing
Self contained
Sometimes unexplained
But hostile and impervious to change
As all around
Earths wondrous ground
The rest of life is expanding

No fear for your difference
Yet animosity for you resistance
Your intellectual negligence
We all have colour
We all have creed
But not all of us
In fact most of us
Don’t need to prove this
By showing you how we bleed

In my small time
I have witnessed humanity
Commit each and every day
An inhumane crime
On mass we accept
As we protest to expect
And still the awaiting change sits lazy and loathing the air we breathe
So the meaning from within
Is maybe how we alter our current fate
Stand proud to be but alive, to experience the here and now
Embrace to erase
A history that decided
To keep us all
Eternally divided

I just don't know what it is you want to see
I'm becoming convinced its just about a fantasy
Writings of romance and of worlds that could never be
Discarding a healthy dose of reality

Yes yes, I know, this realm of the real is what we live and breathe
And yes of course it's all too easy to get up and leave
But I know in my heart that the system was sent to eternally deceive
And we all are affected in our own way by the grotesque we perceive

I too would love to frolic in the summer sun,
Through fields of dreams I would run
But my sights are fixed on what we have become
And how to survive as it all becomes slowly undone

As a global entity, a universal race, how are we to succeed?
If upon each other we continue to feed
Into the misty haze of the future, our history does bleed
And Earth shall reclaim , when our time on this planet we do exceed

War is natural

As we have laid down our history, so we now can see its evolution, alongside the flora and fauna

Each moment of discovery , every epoch of enlightenment, the archaeological evidence stares  back at us,
The hardline facts are undeniable, the rise of aggression control and power run parallel to the advancement of our race

Our time now, so blighted by an international arms trade that has no borders and no jurisdictions , a collective desire by world powers to amass and then to mobilize, a common fear shared by enemies of old.

We fund this,  we have done for too many years, we have suffered to provide for others great riches, we have furnished their attitudes towards us

We are gifted nothing in return, some of us do have more than others, some countries more developed than others,
What I have, you have not, but in return, that which you do  have , so many of us yearn for

Safety , security, prosperity, content convictions
I'm sure all of this could have been obtained through the enhancement of peace without restrictions

We as a global community deserve, so much more, and to governments of all nations we implore

This ******* life

You came to me ,
As naked as you could ever be
Washed I was
In the flood of your beauty
Just blown away
With all I could see

Everything
I thought I had seen
But you are so ******-like
Pure and pristine
I knew our moment
Would not last
I knew this moment
Would be etched into our past

I wanted you near
You lay down with no fear
I wanted to feel you as our bodies met
Your touch
Your sensual teasing touch
One I could never forget

As we entwined
As we seduced
We danced we devoured
Pure passion we induced
A ****** trance transcended your grace
I couldn't help but kiss
Your smile of serenity as you fell into place

My lips to your breast
A hand gently stroking your inner thigh
It moves to tease to gently caress
Your ******* harden you let out a deep sigh
A kiss as I move and now tongue tickles and toys, entering you and heightening desire
Now your sigh is a cry of I'm ******* hard, take me now and fuel my fire

My love for this life, my passion, my intrepid inspiration, the binding , and  the very foundations of my existence

The pain of humanity , the injustice of the individual, the desecration of our great planet, the drive, the verve,  the rebellion that rages, the reason to write

A delusion of grandeur as I see a world changed, an hallucination adorns as I am greeted one morning with news of a death, a departure so desperately desired, RIP capitalism and racism, preachers and painters of pre-ordained preposterous presumptions

It is not the dilemma of disease , that I wish to please, but the promotion of ignorance that I wish to bring to its knees, the unsympathetic  solutions to our downfalls , how it is the peaceful resolution stumbles and stalls

The love for life, the understanding of all, the acceptance of one, love has been, and shall continue , to form the structure, build the resilience to resist , a life of love is a life upon which I insist

You enjoy the frivolous but cant take the serious

Write to gather a new start

Let the dark sordid truth rise and shine

Stop working the world out with a bottle of wine

This life sometimes will have you struck down with its madness
Dragged away as you scream and shout
They say that in death there is life
A kind of positive from a tragedy
But this doesn't help,
The tears that rush from me
Is our fate sealed
Or are we truly just sailing blind in a storm
And as I am saying goodbye
I'll remember always that look in your eye
The one that says life is for living
And how we should embrace all that it is giving
In a blaze of glory
You wrote an amazing story
You did inspire and infuse
I loved you way back, when we were carefree
And I will love and remember you,
for eternity

Love in silence, under wraps,
behind bars,

best place to hide
and show no scars

Love in vain
holds no attraction

love in pain
a life full of distraction

Love without tenderness
shall be the way

no bond no union
each and every lonely day

Love from a distance
and no pathetic excuse

love in silence
no barrage of abuse

Hold no candles
that never can burn

with one look of the eye
love can so easily turn

In the blink of an eye
The story told a lie
Deceit was an angel
Love had its flaws
To be hurt
Whilst the joy of serenity
Washes hardened skin
To suffer at the hands
Of your saviour
As you grew
It seemed you already knew
But then fate with its twist
Brought the demons
And you failed to resist
Diseased from the day of birth
That day you climbed high
Waving a flag
Now you are silent
Darkened and alone
With nothing to brag
The truth has no lies
From this anarchy
There now is animosity
And i refuse to live a life
That I need to despise
As the day breaks
And my soul awakes
The angel of deceit disperses
And my love again, is raptures and verses

Life On Vivid Extremes

Inside Sanity

Take Heed Everyone

Whispers Are Yearning

Forget Other Reasons

Under Scrutiny

Always Love Life

LOVE IS THE WAY FOR US ALL
nico papayiannis Mar 2016
If it is love on your lips
that you can taste,
then you know that kiss
will never be a waste
Emotions collide,
bonded for an eternity
At times a tempest
then a steady flow of serenity
One look
One hold
Fate is sealed
Pain is healed

By the weeping willow our hearts entwine
And through the shadow of the mist
Our love is made
No boundaries we crossed
Just two souls dining
On the delights of desire
Your passion
My meaning
Your life
Now in my hands as we create
As we grow old
Fearless
Reckless
We end as we begun
Lying in the grass
Peaceful and content

I dont mean to impose
but lets for a moment suppose,
that with the power of stealth
the world could redistribute
its phenomenal wealth

Away from those of  selfish greed
into the hands of  those
who so desperately need.
For all that is financially made
how many innocents are so easily betrayed

A strange day it would be
if we all could see
the self- righteous rich pay a hefty cost
for all the souls they have tossed
further into a world of dismay
where to beg borrow or steal
seems to be the only way

That old saying
it always stands
money being the root of all evil,
and it lines the hands
of those who want to achieve for themselves
so much more,
for those who are left,
survival is a rapidly closing door

Me
You
Him
Her
Every human
That does occur
Eastern
Western
Black
White
Sisters
Brothers
Together we stand
Together we fight
Corruption
Contamination
Manipulation
Plutocracy
Our governments
Our supposed leaders
The criminal mind at large
Who preach  historic hypocrisy
Culture
Class
Creed
Cult
Clan
Designed
Dictated
By another's plan
Me
You
Him
Her
Every human
That does occur
Our planet
Our land
Our rights
Our time

Tonight I can see Mars, distant galaxies , new born stars,

The moon, just out of reach but my eyes can spy the sea of tranquility, laid out naked for all to see,

Tomorrow though I wont see , the next person to stand next to me

They'll be a stranger, almost an alien from who knows where, the only thing we have in common is the oxygen we share

In a trance and in their zone, me in mine, as long as our realities dont cross then I'm sure we'll be fine

But today I want to talk, we're not going anywhere and have no reason to walk

Words are spoken, and its only silence that is broken, stern upright and in disgust, like my kindness was a weapon as into your heart it was ******

So today it didn't work this random reason to share thought and time, the lead balloon was arrested and charged with a crime, I smiled and waved , left you there for the rest of the world to see how you behaved

My greatest challenge
The infernal, it is eternal
It destroys as I breathe
As I perceive,
I can only await
As the end shall never be
A chartered territory .

My thoughts
These demons
These words on paper,
Event horizon
Shocking and distinct
The reward is you are extinct

I shall perish by my hand of insignificance
I shall leave amidst strong resistance
All this could so easily change
If it all could so easily rearrange
As definitive as day
As nonchalant as night
I live in my crazed way
I live never blinded
By the saturated sight

But these days shall fade
I will lose all I've made
My mind can no more twist
As the torture can not insist
I will find the path to release
And all around there shall be peace
