Stay still as a stone.
Do not move a muscle
Even if a crab's claw crawls up you.
You must. Stay. Still
and listen.

You have been wanting me, I know.
You have been wishing me,
needing me,
sleeping with me
-- Do not take me as if disgusted
-- I know you do.

But how can you have me
when you call in an angry voice?
when you try to touch me with sinful hands?
when you yearn for me through deaths and deceit?

You cannot cry, must never.
I will not love you, for I love flowers and pillows
not guns and dynamite,
I love the gentle and the kind
not the liars nor the swine,
I love forgiveness and humanity
not revenge, not cruelty,
For I am, and I truly am, peace.

You have been wanting me, I know.
You have wished me,
needed me,
slept with me
even with all your lies and all your sins
on the ground beneath you,
and the air around you

But I will not listen to your calls.
I will never let you touch me.
I will walk away from your yearning
lest you try to be what I love.
A Major's contribution
A personal Private's affair
The Colonel that blossomed
Into a General's sense of scandal
Catching all Lieutenants unaware
Then came a Corporal punishment
And Mastered the Sargent
With such care
Limiting the whole base
To all and much despair
PoETE Poet-Pete May 2015
Have to cut thru this final stage
Minute after minte, I express my rage,
I can not give up to any extent
The grave to me, is not yet meant.
Whether on your last chance or one leg don't let life take you under.

What is our obsession with love? Now, I'm not absurd, I am human, I understand we need love to feel exactly that. Yet we are obsessed with not all love. We simply obsess over the romantics.

As a person in love, you'd think I'd be the most sympathetic. But I have a different view entirely.

General love is what you need. Not always mushy, cute, romantic, sappy love. You need the love that supports, the love that hold you high on broken ledges and let you achieve your dreams and reach for the stars.

You don't need the big things to validate your love, and you don't need validation constantly. Trust in love, you trust in your family, and your friends, so why not trust in your other half as well?

It drives me crazy so much around pertains to romance. Its not the romance, the wooing, that matters. its the love. Pardon me, but **** all this romance *******. I don't need a thousand roses or a fancy necklace to prove someone loves me. I need a paper crane and a promise, the little signs that remind me of what matters.

Funny enough, a thousand years comes to my speakers. Ignoring its romantic aspects, being brave is important. The brave gestures are what matter.

No one needs a significant other. They just need love, and love does not always come in such romantic forms. As the Beatles wisely said, all you need is love.

And I try to live by that, in the best way I can.

I pause before I make a call
I second guess myself before I spill it all
It feels like everyone is different now, the rules have changed
Am I the only one who is still not used to it?

Two hours felt like a minute to me
Now it is the other way ‘round
I should cling tighter, hold close ones closer
I’m just human, jealousy is natural

Do they want me to let go, I have no idea
Over reaction is a common thing
But how much is paranoia, and how much is truth?
I’m worried to ask or answer that question

I feel myself changing, not sure whether it’s good
Staying alone is my status quo, even in the crowds
I don’t know whether it’s for the best, for the worst, or just growing up.

perhaps fragments are easier to maintain?

patching up, trying to make up for the gaping hole within my soul, its arduous.

i found more holes, more empty spots in the crevices of my sanity, confidence and abilities.

i found out what i needed to work on, but i left my words behind

the utterances that used to echo in my head to spur me forward.

but this led to them shattering into fragments, falling onto my bare feet, piercing bare skin.

yet i found that these pieces didn’t always fit, involving the need to severe some portions off.

i found what i should work after, and along the way i’m picking up the pieces.

and most of the time, i'm just being foolish.

i noticed that i largely overestimate myself.

but reaching a point where it get overwhelming, i shy back into the comfort of a damp, crumbling cardboard box.

i like to explore things, snuggling up against the warmth of cotton knit sweaters.
perhaps its meant to be read from the bottom, or maybe not.

You’re awake,
But trapped in your mind
I was there,
When you left us all, behind
You can’t escape this verdict, no chance,
Everyone knows what you’ve done-
You’re a monster,
But an angel to just some
You’re a monster,
You can’t escape
Just try to run,
Monster,   Monster,   Angel,   Monster,   Monster

In a labyrinth of lies,
Beasts track you in a web of spiders
And the raven flies,
A sign that you’ve arrived

You can hide it from yourself, soldier
But heaven knows your sins
You’re a monster, yes you’ve tried to win-
Monster, try to live within that skin

Monster, Monster, Monster, Monster, Monster

Riding here, a cloak over your face,
What has caused you to come to this haunted place?
Atop a horse that is one with the night,
Why are you here, this isn’t your fight
My hand in yours leading the way,
You beg me to go so why should I stay
Dark eyes with hair swept over your face,
Why have you come to this silent place?

Back on her horse and riding away
Just riding, away
Back on her horse riding away
Away
The shadows shoot by under the moon’s silver rays
An old ruined castle for the night we will stay
The dew stained grass
Until the dawn of the day

Taking your hands gentle with grace
Now we are here is it the end of the chase?
Leaning to you yet away you do move
Bringing me here, why don’t you approve
Hearing the ocean, the wind in the trees
You’re still and pure, please just be freed
Staring at me, your touch full of grace,
Is it the end of the unstated chase?

Is this a chase
Chase
Why this strange chase

This overgrown room with an old and slow pace,
Acting as if we’re in wait for a race
Taking my hand, is there something you know,
Flying back home, what won’t you show?

Return to the villa there’s a man in my bed,
Drips on the floor from the shot in his head

You took me away at a frantic pace
You look at me as if we’ve just won a race

The race
An innocent race

Once was found but now you’re lost,
You can travel far, our paths will cross
Fought and sinned but born no cost,
Your mind can go so far,
With a heart of  frost.

Please turn around,
Look them in the eyes,
Though their souls have drowned,
They have not died

You hear their cries on the broken waves,
Turn your back
Just feel it inside.
Past shouts of joy and triumph,
Listen close,
They are lost with the tide
Close your eyes, your eyes,
Close your eyes, your eyes

Face the wall and sink right down,
Sweat it out
In this strange town,
Feel the bites around your ivy crown,
Hear the silence singing
To your absent crown.

Just turn around,
Stare into their eyes,
Your feet aren’t bound,
Like their hands are tied.

Exhausted thinking that the world still owes you
Exhausted feeling like a hawk that is in chase
Trying to figure out, is it true,
Leave this place,
Just leave this place.
