The death of a friend always forces a change
makes you face the fact
that reality isn’t the norm
that you have to respond, not react

the world slips through your fingertips
like so many forgotten dreams
left by those that were left
those that can’t hold on any longer

death to life, living be done
i ate a forest and left the dirt for the trees
took more than i had to keep me free
eyes that turn me to stone

every walk ends in a seat
sitting for half our lives
running didn’t get us anywhere
and sleep is for the dead

a picture of a portrait of a disillusioned world
my lens isn’t rose, but crimson stained
hurt me, scold me, take me to the zoo
i left for me, you left for you

In the face of infinity, I stumbled to an instigator.
I must have known how furtive the ****** dotard was.
An epidemic stereotype would barely drawl an insurgent.
The tremendous vilification acurred.
Here comes the futile virtuoso with his interminable intransigence.
The vivacity dynamic banality of an unconscious programmed robot.
Ignatius Hosiana May 2016
or fortunately
life goes on
your hurdles
are your own
the universe doesn't want to know for
the rat's business is none of cat's concern.
You'll always be the only one who knows
what you're going through...
the world doesn't care... nobody does...
Those who say they do are just
but great talkers...
you were born alone, & no matter how hard you try
to forge company in your lifetime,
alone you shall travel across River Stynx...
nobody gives a ****,get that in your head
stop whimpering about your problems
concentrate on living your miserable life instead

in common usage of speech,
words and phrases are
sometimes seen to behave
almost as do
punctuation marks
in writing,
for example and
for instance, it will be taken
for granted that we
will grant you
phrases

such as: as such
and such; and such as                                
but if (and only if)
such there be; and
such being the case,
we go on, like so:

and so on,
and so forth,


and whatnot,
and what have you,
and what's more
and moreover
and furthermore

...

a bit of
investigation
we find
ourselves in
a state
whereby
we are rendered
utterly baffled;
thereby and thereupon
we feel our efforts to
have been an
exercise in futility.

therefore...

we resign.
utter *******.

Maybe you need to talk with your mouth shut
Because your yapping like a little mutt
Your sentences all run togeather
Talking so fast in decimals I can't even measure
It's alwasy about nothing, no subject matter
Any random thought you just splatter
Words just come busting out from between your lips
It would be different if you shot from the hips
But there is not one truth among your words
You just want to be noticed even if your absurd
You want to be the center of attention
In everyone's conversation you want to be mentioned
You're to stupid to realize the are talking and laughing about you
You really haven't a clue
To them you are a clown
They always put you down
So think before you udder words of no content
Think before you see the message sent

Drinking my turmeric tea
makes my mouth taste like vegan chicken soup
I spilled it on myself
so I’m committed for looking suddenly jaundice
Oh, ain’t that what they always what they do?
Mark the healthiest ones
as fatal or insane

Sprung from forced pleasure
And the repression of my stress,
Half conjured and half spawned did the perfect angel I cannot move past throw me into ecstasy when I gained knowledge of her detail,
How real she truly is.

Weak do I fall,
Curves adorn your lips...
You had no fault,
You were right in catching on to my myriad ulterior motives,
I was only wrong to doubt your abilities.

Where does beauty end,
And where does it begin that I'm filling you in, and you don't have to try?

It's blurred as it's been for months and it's time I realize
That you were only ever as real as you were tonight.

Where had been the sky,
The superhero and ruby chip?
They lived here, ignored,
A while ago floating with
Ghosts of my mangroves and
Things I did not know
How to say- how to say.

I cannot gape anymore,
Let’s go back to Damascus,
Istanbul and verses you-
Did not know that spread
Wings beneath my skin
I have got stamps and ink,
Frozen food and deck of cards.

Sit with me and adapt
The ways how a mirror shake
Herself off the dirt and break
Her bones, his, endless ways.
There are plenty of things
They did not know how to-
Take, you and I, we dance.
