i apologized
with old pencils i found in the bottom of my bookbag
with the erasers missing
so i couldn't take it back
I miss my Father,
I miss my Child,
I miss my Child's Mother.

I miss a lot of things;
but there's no going back,
ever.

I miss so much;
how Happy I once was,
though I thought myself in Despair,
and maybe I was,
but I know now the taste of true Despair.

I miss so much;
how Simple Life once was,
though I sought more Complexity,
and it worked,
but I now appreciate Simplicity.

I miss a lot of things;
but there's no going back,
ever.

I miss my Father,
I miss my Child,
I miss my Child's Mother.

One has Died,
one lives with another Family,
and the other is going to College out of the State,
respectively.

I miss a lot of things
about the Past;
but I have to accept
there's no going back;

Ever.
I hate that which I am capable of becoming:
Life is so beautiful, **** it anyway;
my hands and feet are blistered with echos of my frustrations.

At least it helped. For now.
And then, I wrote this.

My Shadow is such great potential;
for both Creation
and Destruction:

The wall, punching bag, pole, and floor
have been my Scapegoats for Aggression
instead of the sources of the Frustration;
for Self-Harm is foolish,
but Assault is illegal.

Plus, the Sources
are all in the Past;
and there's no going back;

Ever.
Summer night, moon and her white cloud
frolic on the star spangled bed
You come to me, flames of passion lighting both eyes,
moon incarnate, why your lips uncontrollably tremble?
Let anger be(go).

Doubt comfort.

Be the joke.


Too something.

I don't quite believe everything.

We always forget where we came from.

Mitsugi Saotome

Glory be to the father and to the maker of creation.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be
World without end:
Jah Rastafari:
Eternal god:
Selassie I.

And it's all in order to create effortlessness.
Look behind, a shadow follows, morning till night,
at sun down, it transforms and waits, no curtains needed,
look around at night, see that mysterious bushfire,
some happened beyond time, heaven is your imagination speaking,

I stand on a flow that never stops and put all my hopes in love,
there is nothing that doesn't change, I stand where
many others before me stood, I forget that, but events repeat,
I stand naked on a rock with prehistoric markings,

my shrink will associate it with my desire to go back,
my loved ones whisper in to my ear, "Hallucinations all,
will be alright after a deep sleep, you're tired, mind a dark forest"
why overburden oneself with memories beyond time?
Reasons are fading darkness, when looking beyond the mind,
all you now pass through is a dream, seen in sleep, one sleep to the next,
*How many galaxies are to be hopped in this intergalactic travel?
