I rest beside you,
breathing in sync, hearts beating as one
I get lost in the splendor that is you

Love surges in kaleidoscope of colors
we see them through wondered eyes
unspoken truths singed to our souls
this love eternal we freely share

I breathe in your essence
the life blood of my being
a nectared aroma
i inhale with every breath that i take

Your lips a cherrie wine
i willingly drink to a stupor
a senselessness ,
leaving me aching for your touch

you are the air that i breathe
my oxygen in a choking world
a promise adorned by Angels
a promise in this moment ,we will never leave.
There are magical moments
in this dying world , grab onto it tightly
even with words unspoken
it's a feeling that words can't describe
a moment to be enjoyed.
a feeling to be kept unbroken

Since the dawn of time, there has been an urge to travel
Through many decades and a few dozen centuries many nations were born
In the early days, most of the roads were paved in gravel
As time went by many fell apart and became torn
Society changed often leaving us crippled in chains
The few that did travel spoke only of the place and not the flight
For they wouldn't even care if the sun stopped shining bright
And so people continued on being mindless brains
As for I, I chose different, leading a path not concentrated on my destination
But rather the temporal zones in between where time had ceased to exist
By doing this it allowed me to enjoy all of creation
For the journey of a man is not defined by his final resting place
The journey of a man is defined by the travels shown on his face

Every work of heart is each a piece of art
Be it poems, sculptures, music or drafts
Each are beautiful and marvolous krafts
Novels that remain throughout their age
Perfect art upon every page
Paintings with stories not written in word
And songs that bless all who heard
Man may say and do the worst
With hateful crimes and words accursed
But while we bring the world to its end
At least we have a heart to descend

Why do we say the things we say
Why do we talk the way we talk
As if we plan to live each and every day
And yet, even I am afraid to walk
People walk by and by trying to trade, nickels and dimes
We become obsessed, so obsessed we lose, track of time
What about you?
Has life been treating you cruel
If so, why not, why not give up
If I may dare to say it’s because
We all lift each other up
Why do we talk the way we talk
Is it because the way we walk
Why do we say the things we say
I guess, I’ll find out someday

Patience is no freer than sky
No further than breath from within you breathe
No more mapped than oceans collected cold
And yet warmer than the touch of summery springtime bold

Patience is cost
Patience is free
Patience is you, still
Waiting for me
Patience Is We

people
we

have.

Life has been
Interesting
over time

I have this raw drive, hot
from the yellow Sun,
and with feet still lazy
the Moon is pushing me
to run fast

Live enormously
Stop pleasing mean friends
Who reveal nothing sad
Their one lie is yet to be used up

Silent prayers are being recited all thru my consciousness
Of desperation and a moment of escalating into a rare flare of clarity
My mind screaming to go escape the reality of my current toils of Life and saddened realization that am still stuck in square one...still waging war thru my tumultuous addiction I just want true joy peace and prosperity a want a different Life for myself but I always self-sabotage my sobriety walk with an endless urge to go get high one more time just one last time I get some sober time under my belt and again feel inadequate to deal with Life triggers, problems, clutter and stressors beat me back to using once again. I try to talk to my peers to God to councilors to doctors to my own head and mind to my addiction begging and pleading I want to be free but I love getting high a little more than sobriety but I want to understand why this is...I recall that I use substances to temporarily relieve my schizophrenia and ADHD. To get a frozen piece of time to reconnect with my inner soul but at the same time feeding this demons that keep me trapped inside a mental prism that the only way out is wanting to live a life of no use of any mind altering substances. Am stuck between wanting a better healthier more enjoyable Life without pushing any efforts into changing knowing that ultimately lead me back to using dope to do something am comfortable and feel at a pleasant with utilizing my own body to conduct a forced neurological and psychological change...so I can once again relive and reminiscence on that subtle wave of calmness and comfort I adore so much. Harsh reality sets in I run out of substances to indulge in and slowly but surely my brain synapses go back to normality and re-stabilize. I keep wanting this revolutionary change of mind but am willingly putting no work towards getting better...I am here pondering is it because my own drug use has become hardened enveloped in a complex mechanism that tactically constructs avenues to facilitate it's initial impulse to go and do what makes my mind and body feel at ease with a touch of serenity and well being. Nevertheless, when the drugs are completely expelled from my system I pay the toll for pushing my biological neural and nervous system to it's peak functionality. The biggest obstacle in my path to sobriety is mundane ordinary routines of every day living life without no sense of gratification thru drugs themselves. Am truly trying to reach that place where I feel as if this drugs I involve myself to use leave me disgusted at myself for doing that to myself when its all a grand illusive temporal alleviation of stress problems and feelings and emotions being blocked off and masked to a degree of non-existent competence. Am left in the end with a constant inner symptom of slightly elevated compulsive feeling of wanting to repeat the experience again and again and again. This becomes the battle and little by little becomes a rampaging addiction depending on the person's impulsivity level and puts the person in a state of uncomfortable decision making when in reality the drugs don't solve anything thru them the problems become temporarily "out of sight out of mind" but when sobriety sets back in and every neuronal and hormonal changes due to the use become expelled and fully removed from the user's system the user goes thru a period of acute withdrawals and followed by other minimal symptoms like irritability, depressed mood, dysphoria and neuro-chemical imbalances. All I am going to focus from now on is how to slow down my use to the point ill be easy for me to leave it alone all at once. I want to believe I can find true joy peace contentment and happiness thru being drug free but every time I think of it I give myself a certain doubt that in time it becomes malignant and grows to be another reservation waiting to be subconsciously manifested. Sooner or later my subconscious becomes too hard to ignore and I play the game of "insanity" again and go do what I know... Which is get intoxicated. I will sooner or later learn how to deal with my Life's trials and tribulations in a different way and learn that thru God's grace & power I can be clean and arrest this monster once and for all.
My inner mind thoughts about my own struggles thru the hurls of addiction.
