A smile hides the searing pain,
pushed up close an cheek to cheek,
her love for him she gives in vain,
a knotted throat she mustn't speak,

People see just what they want,
a beauty with a smiling face,
she hides the bitter truth behind,
her well lit eyes of tempered grace,

It's not she doesn't love him,
she adores his every wrinkle,
it's just she doesn't see the same,
her eyes no longer twinkle,

Hopes they daily deeper go,
to places that she'd rather hide,
she dare not even mention them,
too many minutes to abide,
wanting her to go again,
an not be at his beckon side,
to stay is wrong you say,
does she not have any pride?

She's in the same place over,
an over again-
it seems,
it's Groundhog day,
so she reaches out a tired hand -
again and dreams,
as the alarm again will play,

Her dreams are but a distant place,
a summit she can't reach,
a shore to call her heart back home,
a hauntingly familiar beach
with some shells around her ankle,
an scarring from blood-******* leach,
painful is the bite you know,
her freedom brought by what it teach,

With her toes beneath-
the wave of coming fortune,
the one he says that cleanses all,
as it dies before it gets to her,
well she thinks that thing has got some gall,

She takes a calming moment,
and the deepest poet's sigh,
as she is ever grateful,
this is not her sad goodbye,

Thankful she was watching,
with the other useful eye,

Safe from certain disaster,
watching the angry wave,
dissipate unto it's own oblivion,

an blessed she can still see -
with her eyes completely shut.

I added some at bottom...Hope it all now makes sense...about an abusive ex that I NEVER wrote about before

Why I always have this feeling when I enter this room
I smell the scent of cologne which is not from yours or mine
How about the color of curtains, it's not my favorite
And there's an extra empty glass beside your glass of wine


I feel like I am no longer welcome when I enter your room
I don't see the smile on your face like what I saw before
The music that you play is no longer my favorite one
Everything I see and feel reminds me that you care no more
Inspired by the title of a movie about an unusual love triangle (a man,  a gay and a woman).

You were the one for me
You were the one I cherished the most

You dislike coffee
Hot chocolate is your ultimate favourite

You eat every single vegetables
except for carrots

You love my naked face
You love my insecurities

We still need time to learn about each other
Unfortunately I had to stop it

I didn't know I was the third party
to your another beautiful relationship

We've been together for almost a year now
You've been with her for 5 years

I didn't know whether I was the foolish one
or you were the foolish  one

Was it my fault since I was the one
to interfere into your life?

I didn't know I was the third party
I'm sorry lets not contact each other anymore

i almost believed
if i waited long enough
my turn will come
i almost believed
i was wrong looking at others
while you slept with some
i almost believed
space was all you needed
til I turned  & checked
and distance was all thats left
- and so did you

Look up to the sky
From your heart and your mind
To see what is true
To guide you through
-The only thing far is to exist
You can reminisce but don’t live there
The purpose of all life is learning
Over stand that be aware
Once you know the truth, don’t you go and tell no lie
Every life that’s born
Is also, meant to die
-*There’s only one race, of all Gods mankind
And that’s us the Human,
Full of variety by divine design
Times a straight curve abound
Just like ripples of sound
Be cautious in your actions
Cause what goes around, makes it back around
Pursue inclusion, not Exclusion!
Sincere just love, is the solution
For tomorrows without sorrows
Can you feel it down in your bone marrow
Call it Jai, or Allah, or better generic
G O D
Contained within the universe, inside of us
Is spirituality
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Now people look around
Work on every single frown
We must find common ground
And we can turn the world around
You gotta Do It Yesterday
Cause tomorrow is too late
This life here is for the living
Its your life you’ve been given
And so the choices that you make
Will either aid us or forsake
Everything the maker built up
Helix DNA, -Space traveler
Third Eye Mantra
As it was told to me, by the Almighty
Open up your third eye
And your heart, so you can see
Ya gotta
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
To guide what you should do
To see what is true
It’s what God wants for you
It’s what God wants for you

It's second nature
To be flawful
But its my third nature
To be destructive towards myself
It's just the way I am for now
Hence "for now"
Alan S Bailey Apr 2016
As a wise man once said: "hinder not the learning of youth,"
So what do you do? You build walls, you are anti-social,
You don't want to talk about "it." you are angry and hurtful,
You have to punish them for misbehavior, then do what you
Please, you hand them everything they need, then take away
The keys.

A wise man once said: "better to lay you down for your friend,"
So what do you do? Every man for himself! Run off and find
A small lil' mine and dig and dig until you find gold as well,
Pick up a small piece of the pie while starving people in the
Third world die, we "can't help them all" so why not just accept
Bread lines?

A wise man once said: "It's not ours to **** others, you shall not ****."
So what do you do? You make tanks and nuclear submarines,
You create machines of death and destruction for our "protection"
With the very weapons that so easily can turn back upon us,
You always join in every war and say destruction is simply
"A must."

Wisdom has been turned into words alone, we speak it, but we do      
Not act upon it, thus we become hypocrites and knaves upon thrones.
I wouldn't run your heart into the ground
So i hope you wouldn't either
People really lower their shields when they bond with a mate
I'm not trying to force you into a clean slate
Or make your traits go out of state
I want you for you, nothing else
I will accept who you are
As long as you're honest and transparent with me
I will not doubt
You can open your floodgates and i will gladly become engulfed
By it all
We can be happy if we live in trust
It's actually a must
Leave lying in the dust
I want only the truth
Let down your walls and open up
And don't be afraid
Many people will run away from problems a person has
But i will embrace them and do what i can
It's much better than
Doing nothing
From fighting seemingly endless depression to being torn on being bisexual
The difficulties seem to stockpile for anyone these days
We all have baggage to carry that we don't want too
I'll help you with anything girl
Many people's heads would roll from this
But i wouldn't mind if you wanted another girl around
If that makes you happy, i'm happy
Just be truthful with me and i won't mind
I'm not the one who carries a big hammer and tries to hit anything i don't like to objection
I don't really like rejection
So throw me your confessions
I plan on being your ride or die
If it all works out smoothly
Anything you want, lay it down
I'll let you do what you want
I want you to be free with me
That's how it's supposed to be
If you are going to love a dreamer

You can not be controlling
You can not be manipulative

their spirit
their passion
would be sacrificed
because of their love for you
because of their love of you

it would be because of you
love ultimately fermented into resent and hate
dreams turned to nightmares at the very mention of your existence

You can not be weak
You can not be moveable

Their fire
their vision
would juggernaut the mightiest of the weary
tears shed in the quiet of the dark
desires whispered in the secret of shadows
would never be known to them

The dreamer is Blind
not deaf
not dumb

If you are going to love a dreamer

You must be courageous
You must be adventurous

To love a dreamer is to bed risk
To love a dreamer is to set a permanent place for gamble
the acknowledgement of chance
the acceptance of failure

Loving a dreamer is to know
the only place of honor
is not with them
is with the dream

Loving a dreamer is to know
the only pedestal
is not for them
is reserved for the dream

Loving a dreamer is to know
they will love you
position their lives around you
but their purpose
their only purpose
is the dream

My minds eye gone blind, I can't even see my dreams, as I wander in the black haze called my mind, I try to define who I am, and what is mine.
I'm unaware of who I was, and who I aim to be, but I do know what you say simply doesn't suit me. You'd have me march to your drum, and be as you are, but even if I'm blind, I can see that won't get me very far.
