Over my window
The young moon looks so beautiful
I think to propose her but how
And this disturbs my peaceful sleep
Who can do so to such a thing?
Thousands of people desire for thousands
But they leave the earth with abortive
And I never thought of this
Notes (optional)
I want to see

your tears

fall

for me

I know its

but a dream
i cannot sleep
i lay here wide awake
haunted by memories

i close my eyes
and i smell him
he is close
i know he's here
i can feel his hands
touching me
his warm breath in my ear
whispering be quiet
saying i am Daddy's Special Girl
i shudder in fear
not knowing how to make it stop
i will be quiet
my tears flow silently

when morning breaks
i am exhausted
teacher asks why i am tired
cannot tell truth
must keep Daddy's secret

morning breaks now
i am still exhausted
still carrying Daddy's sins

As I saw you smile
I broke with sweet paradox
Not just of its beauty
But the reason is not me

For months I have wondered
Who you are to me
Merely a friend? Maybe
Or something else I deny

Was it the familiar feel
Or was it the chemistry?
Everyone ties us together
But you cut the rope

You shut me out
I affirm with a smile
Concealing the cuts deep inside
I wallow in internal sadness

I can never be her
I can never replace
I face the truth I am no match
Even a chance is a blur

Sometimes the dark thoughts come
With sabotage, you can split
But will I be the same?
No because you won't

As much as I love having you
It will never compare
To see that sweet smile
Even if I am not the cause

but how
can i crave your
touch when
i've never
felt it?
I am getting soaked with your sadness,
While your tears fall on me sky..
Do you have a voice rain..?
Speak to me,
Say the words you longed to say
And let me hear that pain.
It.




It is.


What is it?

That's just it:
it just is.

Fight it if you will.

Will
does have certain power that knows no known bounds,
but Will is nigh useless unless you act.

Action
can be a step in the wrong direction
if you don't stop to consider the implications of the choice.

Choice
is both a gift and a curse,
for we can never know with certainty.

Certainty
is a generalization for a particular probability
that we see to be in our favor.

Favor
is a slippery *****
inexorably leading to isolation.

Isolation
is what mind felt
when saw itself as the pilot of matter.

Matter
is frozen energy-
potential en potentia:

Potential.

Everything is potential.

Create the future you wish to reap.
Have the courage to blaze your own trail
if none you've found is as you desire;
there's nothing wrong with that:

It isn't selfish
to seek what it is for which your heart and soul cry out.
It isn't selfish
to refuse to follow a Path laid by another.
It isn't selfish
to pursue happiness;
rather, I find it to be quite the contrary:

If we all, independently, could bring about our own ecstasy
try to fathom what a rave life could be.

Puns may be intended;
ne'er forget to read between the lines-
read between the words themselves,
and look within them as well as thyself
for comprehension;
for understanding.

Words are such funny tools.
Such is a theme of mine.

Tools
be not at fault
for the evil that is so often wrought by them;
they are a catalyst; a medium:
a sort-of transmittal of intention:

A hammer can build or ****
with similar effort and ease
if only the Will is so inclined.

That is the boundless power of Will.
That is our responsibility as conscious beings.

One must seek construction of the Self,
rather than destruction of the Other.

For,
what is destruction of the Other
if not destruction of the Self
from the outside
in
?

(All off my questions are rhetorical and not.
Answer them. I dare you. They are my challenges.
Therein lies the journey to understanding the Self;
or, as they call it in academia: "Philosophy.")

I find that One finds what One seeks,
whether it is harmony or dissonance
or anything else in between.
(Or, maybe that's a product of my own bias!)

Thy every moment may differ,
but t'is of thy Path that I speak.

Tread lightly, my friend.

Only you can bear thy torch-
but, the true crux
is refusing to drop it
until you no longer require it.
I just sat down and wrote this. No forethought.
Lots of afterthought, though!
There's somethin' kinda 'zen' 'bout that:
if you will not actively seek meaning, you deserve it's absence.
It may sound harsh, but if you think about it, it likely doesn't apply to you.
Also, humor is a wonderful multi-key for the door of understanding.
