I discovered beauty through a pair of tearful eyes.
The light of day broke the running waterfall
to reveal what was hidden behind such delicacy:
knowledge,
kindness,
warmth,
passion.
One cannot place their hands on beauty,
it cannot be held in an embrace,
the core of its meaning is fully locked behind guarded orbs.

I wish i felt the love jack had for rose.
i wish i knew what made romeo love juliet.
i wish i had the confidence these two idiots had
to have two different worlds collide
and still fight for a love.
i wish i had their confidence,
to even trade their lives for a feeling.
Yet i am still alive and i don't know what it means to love.
Which is better?

You doesn't know
it knows more than it knows

and will defend itself at all cost to death I dare say

from
knowing what it thinks it doesn't want to know
The lamp of knowledge is your light,
The lamp is your guide in the darkest of forests,
You will walk by its light in darkest night in the darkest of lands,
The owl knows the wisdom of its light,
The moth is drawn to the lamps light,
The lamp of knowledge is your light,
The lamp is your guide in the darkest of forests,
The maid of wisdom is the keeper of the lamp of knowledge,
The wise ruler governs by its light,
The lamp of knowledge is your light,
The lamp is your guide in the darkest of forests.

Heard powerful words move men to
action
โ€œHail ******โ€
Millions of innocent souls lost deaths
so hideous
ironically
there are no words to describe

โ€œI have a Dreamโ€
50,000 Americans march onto their
capital to claim the God given right
to be equal.
The same words
Moving through time
staying strong
to where 30 years later
a small white girl
3rd grade
in rural Kansas
echos those same words
in a report on how the world ought
to be

I have seen great words
lost and alone
Concealed beneath pages
Stacked on lined walls
Masters who have manipulated
even the most minute syllable
to affect how you feel, learn, believe.
Vaporized to the literary abyss of the
library Knowledge untapped
Mute wisemen.

Last words
spoken
Desperate to sum up a life in one
Bโ€”Rโ€”Eโ€”Aโ€”Tโ€”H
what to say......?
what to say......?
One last, โ€œTell my, fill in the blank, I
love them.โ€

Or cheaters who manufacture
manuscripts
to be read at their own funerals
pre-written, pre-thought-out ovations
of pathetic lives in an attempt to give
them worth. Sadly, still trying to fool
others by sounding spontaneous
extemporaneous
Even after their heart STOPS
