we have been taught
to color inside the lines
since we were little kids,

so explain to me how do we
continue to stay inside the lines
when life is everything but that.

no wonder we always
find ourselves
close to the edge,

but never really willing to cross
because we fear what would happen
if we did what they told us not to.

my messy thoughts
Colm Dec 2017
The coldness felt
Is the willingness of God
To let it be as we perceive it to be
From our fatalist stance
Be it true or false
It simply is as he allows it to be
Two cords which we cannot coexist
Connectively

The Night Is Almost Over

The night is almost over,
During which I’ve been awake
Unquantifiable wee hours.
It’s been a challenge to placate
Unrest in ***’ and soul,
Think things to do without a wrestle with my all,
Discover parts to focus on,
Breathe out and in,
Shepherding bad thought away from sin.

A challenge to make time rewarding,
Night un-worrying with means
Intuitively gleaned.
By three or four,
Night nearly over,
One is sure
There have been dreams -
A second’s worth of night-worked themes.
(Perhaps two minutes, maybe three.
I’ve patently no memory
Unawake, unaware,
All simple cognizance not there)

I’ll be ok when morning comes,
Stomach craving nutriments.
There will be toast, cheese, milky coffee
Brought in by hubby
With me glad the light took over.

It will happen to you too.

ignore it
pretend it,
didn't happen.

forget it.
hide it.
avoid it.

Most guys that have a sick infatuation tend go insane.
Looking for a different purpose for some love that everybody
Already has and been portrayed.
All your fantasies are stricken even in a state of mind to where
Your ****** desires bring,
Less to the plate than it was intended in a moment of abolishing
The virginity,
Still feeling lonely , I guess that'll never happen frequently,
But honestly,
In this whole thing,
I'd rather give up.
Can't have a girl that worries about the wrong things,
I wouldn't change,
Lifes a game,
I'm so obstacle stuck,
I swear they worry about the wrong things,
The wrong things,

But I know that I can't just give up,
Noone is perfect for someone to crave some perfect flesh looking
At the bottom of the sea Tangled up,
With someone else's fishing rod , why don't you go and meet them.

We don't write poetry.
It happens.
It hits you in the face and
demands to be.

Its pieces bombard like pebbles
thrown by zealous winds.
It wakes you at two a.m.
frantic to be free.

Like soul longing for body
it floats about
filled with anguish
and yearning.

The world is a poem.
Walking among its words,
often unaware,
we breathe the empty spaces.

We are all scribes,
sometimes setting down
a verse or two.

But...

we don't write poetry.

It happens.
Good things come to those who wait
But great things come to those who make it happen

In my darkest space she came!
In my usual corner she sit with that face!
In my deepest feelings she walked!
And I blamed myself... why I let myself open in front of her!
The sound of silence is broken!
Words are not shy!
Time forgot to look at his watch!
I watched her softness covered with toughness !
I watched how beautiful her eyes are!
I watched how her skin is delicate!
I kept watching in silence!
Questioning myself!

Am I dreaming!

That all happened... when... she came!!

Never did it happen before
Never will it happen in the present
Nor something like this will happen somewhere around in the future again.

A thing of past is a thing of past,
from where it came,
to where it belongs
A thing of past is a thing of past.

A mistake is a mistake,
will remain as a mistake,
if it’s not corrected.

A mistake is a mistake,
will become a bigger mistake,
if the same old mistake from past gets repeated again in the present.
Never repeat same old mistakes from the past in present again,
since it proves to be very costly with each moment that passes by and makes life difficult in the present and also with regards to the future.

Never did it happen before
Never will it happen in the present
Nor will something like this happen again somewhere around in the future again.

Let’s make every effort in the direction of goal
Let’s make life interesting by doing something new, which was never done before in the past.
Probably initially it will not be easily possible,
however, later on the same thing will become a way of living life,
hence let’s make every effort to make life as interesting as possible when and while in the present itself.

Definitely a day will come when the past will seem to be much more interesting than the present, but then that past will be just recent past and if not ,then at least the day that just went by

Let’s keep life simple,
as simple as possible,
in doing so a day will when complicated things of life will seem to be simple and these same things will be done in a much faster way, than what was thought and expected prior.

Let’s try to make and keep life as simple as possible and also interesting.

Smile because there is always a reason for you to smile and it’s known either in the present itself, if not then the reason is stored somewhere around at the back of mind.
Life can be simple as well as interesting, however, the only thing that is needed is to accept this fact as it is and then move ahead along with the same in present.

Never did it happen before that life was seen at such a close distance, but then that’s life and life’s intersting.

Some things that sometimes happen in life are some of those things that are waiting to happen,
however when they happen,
as and when,
whenever they happen,
change the course of each and everything along with the present moment in time.

Better be a part of the present moment in time,
move ahead along with the same in mind.
Much better when rest of the things going on in heart are put at the back of mind while moving ahead along with the present moment in time.

Situation can be differ,
changing from one moment to next,
however,
odd will remain the same unless and until,
if not handled or even tackled properly.

So be wise, remember all you have got is the present moment in time
Better act now rather than depending on an uncertain future

Emotions can be trusted upon when used in the right spirit,
in the right way,
instead of depending on the same in the form of giving an excuse.

Better to be a part of the present moment in time
Better to concentrate on the odd that is there along the line of what is going on in the present,
however in doing so also remember everything needs to be defined with regards to an uncertain future.

Action speaks louder than words also because even when words have got meaning and substance still they can fall on deaf ears, which in turn can ruin everything.

So be what you are
Do what you want
In doing so always remember you, yourself are responsible for everything that is being getting done along the present moment in time.

Trust when proved to be of use can definitely strengthen the process of getting things done within a stipulated period of time
Trust can definitely built bridges between two ends that are away and apart from each other
Confidence and faith can serve as the base of the pillars, which will hold the two ends of the bridges together,
however even then never forget that odds will still come along the way.

So be what you are
Do what you want
In doing so always remember you, yourself are responsible for everything that is being getting done along the present moment in time
Definitely along with time comes experience,
since experience is achieved over a period of time and then it comes to mind, undoubtedly action speaks louder than words.
Definitely two ways about the same that action speaks louder than words.
