A criminal with a goal is dangerous. One without any is lethal.
George Krokos Feb 2014
With each new day that comes along
my heart bursts out with another song
of love and longing for that which is
always calling me like an eternal ****.
'So near, yet so far' is a term often used
to describe the distance which is abused
between us and that which is our goal
and all we have to do is realise our soul.
We'll find sooner or later the Treasured Pearl
around which all of our existence does whirl.

From my unpublished book "The Seeds Of Life" compiled in 1996.

Just leave me alone,
I'll survive,
It doesn't matter actually how I live,
All that matters is where I'll reach

Sometimes there are obstacles in this race called life
that I need to overcome
Sometimes the journey is just beginning even when I feel like the race is done
Sometimes the road seems lonely
Sometimes the hills seem too steep
Sometimes I long to quit running and just want to sleep

The race is like a marathon
It is best taken one step at a time
It is best to go at my own pace
and not  by comparing myself with the other runners along the way
If I take my eyes off of the goal
I will quickly lose my place
It is good to seek encouragement displayed on the faces of friends along the way
It drives me to press forward on otherwise darkened days
I need to persevere even when the path is rough and the goal seems way too far away
This seemingly uphill battle builds strength and endurance for this long distance race
I don't have to be the best runner that there ever was
I just need to do my best to run and keep the prize in sight
when I finally cross the finish line
I hope to hear I'm glad you made it
If I'm fortunate I might even hear  Well Done
for now, I will keep running taking it one step at a time.

we're all lost
and no one wants to admit.

we're all sad
and yet no one wants to believe.

we're all actors
and actresses
of our own stage
of life
and yes we're fake.

who'd care if i die?
who'd care if you died?
the optimist shall say
"some will"
and the pessimists will say
"no one will"

but **** all that
we are who we are
we're champions in our own eyes
full of glory
learning from our failures
healing our wounds
goals set afar
footsteps can be heard

and from there
we will prevail
we will not fail
as we
are who we are.
We're strong. We will get through this.

How ironic that the expectations they stack upon us only weigh us down,
like sacks of rocks upon our shoulders;
but we stand tall and refuse to be crushed underfoot—
These burdens will be our boulder.

Breathe in deep, remember this:
We are human beings;
even the first of our kind were at once evolving—
we were made for dreaming.
don't let 'em get to you, kids

You focus your attention to things I don't see
Intransingent you are to me
You never said yes or no, always maybe
We're two branches that won't meet on this tree
There's nothing I can give but my specialty
I thought you like a little of my recipe
But you just ignored when I offered coffee
Now I know what you like-  it is the tea
From that floating resto-bar at the sea
I am not a *******, I can see
It is best to not expect, just let it be
Intransingent: refusing to agree or compromise;inflexible
*******: a fool

*I am talking here with my "wants" and expectations, not to a person.

Decrepid
I watch you spy their futures
Scooping dreams with sillky fingers
Far too frail to dig,
Fear not,
The sweat from my brow will bring us life.
Sustaining and sweet
Care not,
Though you can not see them.
The huming birds sing
A tidal wave of emotion comes crashing down upon me
As I think about the one I love more than life itself
The feeling I get when I see her is sweet like honey from a bee
It's not small like an elf
I can always smile when I think of her
When I lay alone at night and concentrate I can smell her scent
I know I'm falling in love for sure
To let her know, at her doorstep I leave a hint
A short note to inform her of my feelings
I couldn't just leave her in the dark
She's the thing my body and heart is yearning
I want to enter her life and leave a good mark
Wish this would happen for real
