Our essences mixed energies of a
Time now excluded from the living

Our emotions raw blended in a congealed
Form of weaving, non corporeal tears fell.

Our needing for each other past on through
That moment hands linear but aching each other.
Baylee Nov 2015
It's in the time when you're surronded
By nothing but air
And no one to talk to that the
Pain becomes too much to bear.

It's when you need it most,
That no one is near,
You bottle everything up,
The pain, emotions, and fear.

Starting a new life,
In a place with no one you know,
Can be one of the hardest things,
But it's a fear you can't show.

You have to protect your brother,
He can't know that you're scared,
As if moving across the country wasn't enough,
Then your mom's health - you weren't prepared.

You suit up to take life head on,
Act as your baby brother's second mom,
Take care of your mom, the house,
And family, while trying to remain calm.

It's a lot to deal with,
A lot of pain to bear,
But you're stronger than you know,
And by this, I swear.

Your support stretches across the country,
You've got people who care and love you,
Life hands us things that aren't easy or a choice,
But we know you're strong enough to push through.

May God bless you and your family,
With whatever life may bring you to,
You are always in my prayers,
I put my faith in Him to take care of you.
Written for someone I love and care so deeply about. Know that you have always got a shoulder to cry on, as long as I have shoulders. Know that I am always on your team. Always supporting you. Always. Love you to the moon and back.

draw near unto me
lonely creature of the night
and kindle sweet dreams
v.g
I keep you near
You give words to my thoughts
You name them
You give me something to write about
Something to feel

I keep you near
For my own benefit
To pain and revolve me

I keep you near
Not for love
For my interest
Because you give me a reason
To aspire
To conquer

Oh yes
I keep you near
For the same selfish reasons as you
To satisfy my ego
To build myself up
I keep you here
Till you grow out of me
Till I'm too big you won't fit

I keep you near
I keep you near indeed
He's my typing machine

RNA or DNA polymerase, an enzyme, protein, attracted to
promoter molecules in the polypeptide chain causing a zipper
motion and transcription of the code, a duplication of codons,
introns and exons, and so it goes, sharing and unsharing electrons.

These attractions and repulsions, coming near and going far
in nanounits or light years, fail to explain things permanently
but make possible the technology to live long and well, with
      personality.
It is a form of governance, the governance of elements, elements are
      now

apparently our gods. Learn all you can about their laws, their names,
their needs, read their poems. Only the mentally unusually sound
      would,
given this knowledge, agree to the process of mitosis and fertilization.
      However,
organisms go round then senseless via involuntary respiration.
      Therefore, Pilot Oh Pilot Me.

Echoes Of A Mind Aug 2015
I want to be
The air you breathe
I want to be
Your shadow

I want to be
In your memory
I just want to be
Near you
When you just want to be with the one you love...

For every Child of Light
who sheds tears in the night
For the infants without
Father Insight
To the Brazen ***
without the will to fight
when it comes (scratch scratch)
to strangle your Life
There will be shelter for you
In the Shadows of Light

When Love never comes to stay
and the prodigal son has eaten too full of hay
When the Same **** Different Day
and The shed blood flows like the river way
May the Factions of church towers
and the separation from pay
be the Shadow of light
showing the way

When red rivers pooling inside drown
lying alone yet asking whats wrong
If the spirited bottles all run dry
and mothers love won't offer alibi
When Lovers leave you longing to say goodbye.  
May you find foresight
through these shadows of Light
Sometimes you are so scared and broken the shadows are safer than the light...

People are
the whisking winds
At first,
So near, you feel them blowing your hair
Then,
So far
Not a strand stirs from its place.

He said he couldn't find her
That one he always dreamed of;
I guess she dances within his mind
But never passes his line of vision.
He searches the few steps ahead
As if she will appear with ease.
I suppose when he is so intent
On that girl he wants right here
And right now, before him in whole,
He forgets that I stand in earnest
A little farther off and to the left.
