Charles Bukowski
there is always somebody or something
waiting for you,
something stronger, more intelligent,
more evil, more kind, more durable,
something bigger, something better,
something worse, something with
eyes like the tiger, jaws like the shark,
something crazier than crazy,
saner than sane,
there is always something or somebody
waiting for you
as you put on your shoes
or as you sleep
or as you empty a garbage can
or pet your cat
or brush your teeth
or celebrate a holiday
there is always somebody or something
waiting for you.

keep this fully in mind
so that when it happens
you will be as ready as possible.

meanwhile, a good day to
you
if you are still there.
I think that I am---
I just burnt my fingers on
this
cigarette.

As you paint a silent picture
With you inner feelings
Take care of your emotions
So not to distort the painting
And smudge with arrogance
Creating an antithesis

unlimited players

different endings

I am a philosopher
Of folly
An astronomer
Of stars I dream
Into the sky
A painter, in the colours
Of existence
I am a dreamer
Dreaming into the void
I am human

Who are you?

The tides move in and set me adrift in your love once more. The waves crash back and forth, synchronizing in perfect harmony. When I look at you, there are depths hidden in your beauty. Who are you? You are a treasure. Hidden beneath, you are the ocean; the epitome of mystery.

Live in the moments where the present is all that matters
Cherish the memories as they become history
Don't ever forget present actions affect the future
Avoid being tangled in what you can't control
Lust in the moment enjoy it like it won't ever end
And when it does you'll be glad you put in the effort
As I write from my past to further my present
Which always means more mystery in the future

Even the moon lit up, brilliant, when she saw the beauty in your darkness.

Denial

The past will always be history, but I’ve neglected that my past is my history and denying its existence does not change the fact I lived it. For so long, I’ve been denying my past because I was afraid it was going to defy me but who I have pretended to be lately was everything I was denied in my past. By pretending to be something I’m not was denying me a future of happiness because I was denying who I was. I hid my flaws, and my faults, my struggle. I couldn’t love me because I didn’t know who I was, I am still learning who the person in the mirror is, but **** ill always be one of the realist people I know. Tonight I stop denying my past, so I can accept who I am. I can’t deny that person in the mirror anymore, I can’t deny my past.
