In this downpour of
nil a blinding fog descended
and a venomous,

absinthe-mindedness wrapped all
over me, thus all of my
senses were out of order.

I,
see the universe in her eyes,
melodies sound her voice,
******* future in her lips,

Senses.
For her

Head first
stumbled on the pebbles
of doubt
as it cautiously
stepped on each one
testing the strength of its base
before moving to the next
because, "now we know better"

Eyes then
scanned the surrounding
as they slowly blended
what they see and what they saw
into one beautiful reality
because "time"

Touch after,
the skin since it passed over
the heaps of days, months
and years that aged gracefully
into the most intricate lines
that are shunned by many
but I praise
and call "wrinkles"

Smell later
the musky smell
of your current being
fermented with experience
rich taste and oh so "you"

Fall,  
away from the warning signs
since falling now
sounds like such a
good idea

Not just a memory
But a stored moment in time that you savor

Not just a sound
But a wave of harmonious lyrics that tickles your eardrum

Not just a taste
But the flavor of many seasonings that bounces across your taste buds like thousands of pinballs

Not just a sight
But visual ecstasy that dilates the pupils and allows light to send blinding rays of optical bliss

Not just a feeling
But the pulsation of electrodes across the skin as it makes the thousands of hair follicles stand at attention

Take a moment to reflect and see that every day we are blessed with the gift of life...it's NOT JUST life, but it's the opportunity to hear new things, see new sights, taste new flavors, feel new feelings, and make brand new memories.

They say we can sense
hearing
smell
sight
touch
sound
taste

but what about danger?
love?
fear?

we can sense that someone is creeping up behind us
and sense that something bad is about to happen
can sense the change in the pressure in the air
and the need of someone else for a hug or kind word.

to say we have only five
is underestimating

but to say we have infinite?
we understand but few...
and that is why we teach five.
about the five senses. I'm just bored and that's what class is about so.....philosophy for the winXD

you hear the whisper in your ear
the chills run up and down your spine
this simple thing invoking fear
such a feeling you cannot define

when it truly surfaces, the fright
is when some senses are impaired
muffled sounds in the darkness of the night
is when you'll be really, truly scared

Destiny


A great happiness beheld me in mind for all eternity
Two people became as one like huge stars colliding fantastically
Light will burn forever from such energy and brighten the sky ceaselessly
In time and space change happens with a minute degree to change everything incomprehensibly
Some say only you can change your self into someone better but they are wrong as hard as we try we cannot change unless the world changes too in harmony
Like an everlasting love for one person can never change maybe the love he lost could change like nature being re-born everyday differently
I still look at the moon and think of your love was that not destiny.
irrationally

wish i could feel something
wish i could see
what other's are seeing
wish i could listen
to the thing in my chest
wish i could taste
the food i wanted a few minutes ago
wish i could smell
the burning in my head

its a warning
of something worse
why don’t i care?

it feels like a lie
“i don’t care”
it feels like i’ve uttered
the unutterable
i've thought
the unthinkable
done the unforgivable

i don’t know when i killed myself
it must have happened long ago
when i wasn’t even paying attention

too busy laughing at things that aren’t funny
forcing myself to cry
when i'm alone because thats what everyone
who fakes a smile does.

and im not even sad
because the dead don’t feel pain

God this world is beautiful
those clouds weren’t made
for evil things like me

i don’t deserve the beauty i can’t appreciate
but i don’t want anything else

and i feel trapped here
because i don’t want to die
just to switch prisons

you’re crying hard
and i don’t feel a thing

you’re beautiful
and i’m not even jealous

and you’re laughing
and i just give up and stare at you
and you ask what’s wrong
“nothing” i say

and i’m not lying.
thanks for reading

You
I close my eyes
to see you more clearly,
your silhouette is etched
against the back of my eye lids.

I silence my thoughts
to hear you more keenly,
your voice sings
across my barren mind.

I hold my breadth
to remember you more vividly,
your touch warms
my cold lonely heart.
