Lover of Words
I try to cut, through the skin, as if it's my last effort to free my own soul from it's own pain,
The skeletal bones and tissue intertwined, wanting to break free, from such limited physicality's
Rather to feel real pain, then this goopy stuff they call emotions,
I'm entangled in a war of not my choosing,
A world, I was not made for,
And I walk aware of this,
Every, single day i'm breathing hard and the cold air ***** all the warmth from my own blood,
And I feel nothing, but darkness, ******* out my soul,
The life I once wanted,
A fairytale forgotten while I'm living this horrid nightmare,
Full of language and knowledge I could care less about,
When all I wanna do is run in fields, and soak up the ocean with my heart,
And never return to a desk if it's the last thing I do,
Freedom from driving and technology,
A phone always beeping,
Just me, myself and I,
And a God that I could see with all the stuff out of the way
for further notice, I do not cut, so no one be afraid, I used it for poetic emphasis.

Sun setting, slowly drifting behind the mountains
The iridescent glow of July fades into night
Crickets chirping, fireflies buzzing about
Making the world around us our own
Little, secluded universe amongst nature

The creak of a chair swing, oscillating in rhythm
To the beats in our chest, the swirl in our hearts
As you collapse into my arms, like you always did
A little gray streak showing, glistening
The smell of your fresh brewed coffee invades
Delights my nose so used to the smell
And my eyes, peering into yours
Fifty long/short years from now
And I love you still

Leaping hurdles with ease, never looking back
The heart of a wanderer finding homestead
In the soul of a loving beauty
Who's been wronged by so many
Yet can still love so deeply
The awestruck glance you catch from me
Babe, that's never gonna change
You're gonna amazes every day without fail
That's you, purely amazing

And so when I close my eyes tonight
Know that's what I see
And I really can't wait
To grow old with you

Ode To Nature

I took a moment today to commune with nature
Stepping into the wood, I walked a long while
Coming upon a secluded area I finally just collapsed
Right upon the Earth and for her I wept
I kissed the sky, caressed the ground, hugged the trees
and cried
The damage done to our friend when so defenseless
Feeling sorrow for what I eat and materials I own
They are unnecessary these things when the Earth has all
Mankind so intelligent, yet so unbelievably ignorant
Why must we use our knowledge to hurt you
Corruption used to **** the planet and her beauty
A perfect system so lovely and majestic
Yet blind we sit behind four walls, caught in a rat race
And we forget how lovely it is to dance in rain
To smell the dirt, caress sweet flowers, commune with trees
For they speak you know, we are merely deaf
I sit here and meditate and feel true inner peace for once
I love you
Things have so vastly changed, I wish to live in The Old Ways
What is happening now is so unnatural, it breaks my heart
My religion is being defiled and I am a part of it
Forgive me Mother, you are more wise
I am weak, uneducated but I long to protect you
I leave my sanctuary now as I pick up trash and weep
It is alright for you, not for me
You'll last beyond eternity when we are all gone
I just pray you can forgive us and heal
When that day may come

A Hazy serenity-
The dreams I have tonight,
only happen here

Windows opened frost my skin over but I don’t close off the chilled night. Sleep takes me to the beginnings and ends of subconscious, visions cause a heart warming as I see you in new lights – the natural makeup of your sighs. Billowing breathes and summer sweats dews my eyes from the beauty of this faulted perfection- here in this unreal land together - the sun always shines. A green feathered eminence our toes choose to curl on- we touch love’s fingerprints - newfound appreciation.  Smiling winds entwine locks of our hair creating in and of itself togetherness - foreverness. Sun's breath caresses our necks. Distant rivers heard from the soul, this is where life is born – jumping in we transform - the earth changes with us, suddenly the hidden resonance of the world is heard. Our ears finally brought to play.

A secluded epiphany-
Limbs wrap around each other
creating joyful fear

Pristine splendors – the melodies of nature, we apprehensively tip toe, troubled to not pollute the quiet waters and unspoiled skies.  We are chased by the unity of ocean and the heavens – summer beckons with cerulean and golden hands – acceptance. Tempting waves say stay, a pleading atmosphere, the grinning breeze gestures – welcoming arms. Those neurotic pieces of our psyche find peace here. Stepping along, beside winding creeks, hand in hand following the trees’ leaves, rising and falling plains calls attentions -  awakening intentions, roses kiss our senses and we waltz on the currents’ magic.  Trembling vines crawl up our fitted sides – tattooing us with the weathers’ delight. No turbulence or cries. The ground swallows me, swallows you- puzzle souls brought together- we are one.

I wake breathless
Glistening tears falling from eyes,
Watching dreams disappear

Condemned to a body that can not move,
Speak, or even have the strength to open one eye
I’m paralyzed
Drenched in a foul smell of fear
Barely have the will to scream
My tongue is stitch
Within my mouth
My vocal chords are ripped from my neck
To endure the agony the bleary world has secluded me to
With enough will power I was able to slightly open my left eye
The atmosphere of my surrounds was not the world the walked upon
A world of constant shock
Hostility
Animosity
With the little strength I had to move my eye was enough torment to bear
A world that is hard to explain
Only to be there to feel its ugly nature
A world that blinds the eye
To have your soul collapse
In the state hopelessness
No returns
Parasites feeding off the joyful thoughts of lovely memories
That soon turns into bitter nightmares
That becomes reality
Voices from left & right
That ridicules you for hope,
But in reality it just wants you to suffer its pain
Laugh; be amused, you’re its toy of pleasure
Desperately I try to move
Scream for help
Or even cry, just to feel something other then misery
At the moment of silence
Easily manipulated like a child
For candy
I thought this world of torment was over, but only to see a bleary man standing at the corner of this deluded world
Watching me as if nothing has happen
Why do you stand there?
Why do you mock me?
Are you even human?
WHAT ARE YOU?!?
No response, but only more pain is afflicted when it starts approaching me
Facing death literally 2 feet away from me is terrifying enough
No poor soul should endure this madness
In honesty, Death, cruel punishment of every soul’s demise I advert you on this grim second of my life
Strike me as you please, just end this horrid madness
And let me escape this world I dare not to think.
I soon to reawaken into the land of the living
Grateful to have chattered the unfortunate chains
Of the world of the unpalatable madness lurking around us
Despite of this ordeal
I feel this is only the beginning of something that yet to seize us into its world of disaster.

The Unbeliever
It's quite the smell
Of the ocean, cliffs below
Waves crushing rocks
Wearing them down
With the smell of the sea

Around us, held by the forest
Pines prevalent, highlight the remoteness
Keeping us secluded, safe
From the crowds, from the people
Masses of eyes, always stripping me
******* and molesting me
Imagining their hands on me

Far away, far above
Embracing the taste of salt on the air
Blankets of pine needles
Nature's rug for the barefoot soul
Here I can be naked

Baring my soul, free
I can write, leave my mark
Feel the sun rise behind me
And expose my ink,
For the world to see

Not alone, he protects
Pressing against me, held
Not a burden, not anymore
A warmth, love, of being
Nature' fences and emotional
Security; every sense supporting
And given to just me
I am so happy right now, I wish these moments could last forever

When the door opens,
spitting rhymes as it creaks ajar
i will stand anxious in hopes that my opportunity has come.

I yearn to live atop a mountain
Overlooking the world.

Life would be quiet.

As I would share company with only but my lonely abode.

I would arise early in the morning to hear the scurrying of animals
and their love to be noticed
and their love to be left alone.

My fear would have stayed back with the door that led me to this.
I would be free.
I would not be imprisoned.
Just as the stars fight through darkness to be seen.
They are not imprisoned either.

When the door opens,
spitting rhymes as it creaks ajar
i will stand anxious in hopes that my opportunity has come.
Nature would suffocate me,
Blurring my old vision,
And defining a new unspeakable vision.
I would love to live up in the mountains, somewhere quiet, where nature would be the only thing begging for my attention.

I sit electrified and bathe in the earthly hum of the mistress mountain..
My hair caressed by the wind and showered from a sunlight fountain..

I fill my lungs slowly with her beauty as I embrace and cherish the scent..
The clouds chase the sun and grin sheepishly with no fear or cares to lament..

This is truly a feeling of freedom in every glorious aspect of the term..
In love with mother nature as I touch her rock hard body and yearn..
