Not a four letter word,
                                    chase the birds and                           with this
                                                            ­        discover bliss,
Under Heaven, there is time for everything, even this,

Can't be art, or are you nature?
This can reflect your posture.

to smile for all seasons
need not one reason

Vigorous pulse and impulsive
Sleep is wasted, and repulsive,


This is to die for in a fight
It ain't right, war
but it is the way
of the world, and of old men.

To Everything;
A time for a trial
Many is needed,
And all is prepared...

Look for a trail of light.
But, follow the sound of sorrow.
Touch the frozen note
And sing to its lonely shell.
What's left is the sighing death,
As a flicker dies away.
Stumble upon the darkness
And free the singing child.

Please remember this riddle
And look for another to tell;
Climb the fate within time
To sing a Journey and wake.*

To Everything,
Everything is needed.
do I speak in riddles? Or just in rhyme? I have no time for rhyme, so I speak in riddles so riddle me this do you play with a fiddle? Or a flute on a lily pad with soft clouds in mind? Or do you play for the devil in own spare time. Well I tell you this sir I play in my mind, with thoughts of demons, not angels, not heaven. heaven I can question, disprove and not find but demons oh demons they're real in my mind.
Second "poem" much darker place here ha. Written about 2 years after my first.

Life is the riddle that you will never solve
A multitude of complexities weaved together
By the black widow of good hope
With a dash of unmoderated uncertainty
As you find yourself toeing the line
Between sadness and happiness
Life is that simple riddle without an answer

Life is the nights you remember best
Being up at 4am
Making a home within your cozy corners
Eager to escape
Eager to belong
But too afraid to try

The rules of life govern it as such
And sometimes we are privy to its restrictiveness
And we are not as free as we think we are
But time bends
The laws of life
And patience
Is the greatest reward of all

Extensive ruminations on life are futile
Life is as volatile as it is big
And we are best left guessing
Our magician's next trick
Some things are hidden just to be found
Some things you see it
And then you

Okay,
Riddle me this...
No wait,
Riddle me that...
No, how about
We skip all the riddles
And get down to the facts.

No... actually,
I don't care for the facts,
Just give me the truth.
Wait... I don't want the truth,
Just give me your view.

No... don't,
Just don't say a word.
I'd rather sit in silence
And have to wonder.

So skip all the riddles,
And skip all the facts.
Skip past the truth
And your view,
I don't want any of that.

Truthfully... I don't want to know.
Something's are better left unsaid
Ignorance is bliss,
And bliss is all that fills my head.

So lie if you have to,
Lie if you must,
Just make sure I don't know
The truth between us.

Anti-hedonist
Ruthlessly honest



I'll wrack through your brain
Without guilt
Without shame


Until we can see
Change in you and me




I'm something you've lost
Through lifes biggest regrets
I'm something you need
Even if you don't know it.




I will never forsake you
If you understand time
The brave seek me out
The meek stay in line


The old don't have time for me
The rest think they're still young
To understand my power
Could shift generations to come



I am something you make
Yet don't actually exist
I can drive you insane
If wrong; sorely missed!



Don't try to abuse me
Just give me a voice
I am your silent, humble savior



I am yours



I am

Riddles are hard to write. I have a greater appreciation for Batman's 'Riddler' now. XD

I am here and I walk amongst you.
And to be honest, I’ve been doing it for quite some time now;
watching and observing

I am awake within you every time you open your eyes to see the light; and I am also there when they close for the night
My spirit lives on, like the cycle of dusk into dawn

Tell me how it could not be the epitome of irony,
When you see people dedicate their lives praying under a roof to my entity
As if I’ve died forever

The essence of my being has never left this existence
Persistence, persistence, just pray in persistence.
Maybe you’ll win this, battle one day
That you have within yourself
Look to my spirit and nobody else
But your blinders are on, and the faith has withdrawn
Your faith in my spirit feels completely gone
It’s wasted on someone else

Please, believe, in the spirt of me, and by the power of a god
I will set you free.
Can’t you see, from my pleas?
I’m trying to put you at ease.
I’m saying there's no difference between your spirit and me.

My energy, was the same one that came from the stars
On the day they exploded making a universe start
People say there’s no way, at the end of the day
That I can talk to your spirt cause I'll never display myself
Just a shelf, is what harbors my truth
Lay the bible of lies that was written in sleuth

Subjective thoughts that extinguish
The search deep within us
You stick to what you believe in
Cause if you don't, it's called treason
To god
But don't you think it's odd?
You have all these thoughts, that make you naturally maraud?

Let me give you the courage
To finally see, your treason to God
Is treason to me
Which is who?

It is you

You are the God of your life
Through death and through strife
When you pray to get right

You are the person you speak to, when you need hope to believe
When you reach a low point and you're down on your knees
Getting back to irony
Don't you find it funny,
That when our spirit is finally free;
We credit someone that we can't even see?

So believe, believe
I exist for you to see
Just look in the mirror
To see you are me

to know the riddle .. Below is the answer:

The riddle explanation is:







*The candle is a sacrifice
The torch light is a chance

The first is
You want me just as much as I want you but your mind didn't hear your heart and it left angrily with no return because it sacrificed itself to me just like mine sacrificed itself to you

The second is
You are used to your life without me but your life now is not complete without the torch
