#beautifulworld - Hello Poetry

Coffee shops with preppy peers I have many thoughts to get out Avoided from spite not fears resolute in dive for better rout It's peaceful during the day, And coffee as good as another If I get lonely I need only wait The afternoon will fill the parlor Cosmopolitan citizen Harken to what will be When many words written - so many words for thee My profession is lying But desperately wanted to paint And so I took to writing Better pictures in verbal trade -by a distant artist that life made In manner wise for manners far accredited for chance mistake Intrepid move from coffee shop to the bar for a friend anticipate Pleasure held in pleasure’s hand The world is sweet in little pieces Tis sour still for stern demand But sugar is found in cracks and creases Then the tacit messenger Quick and silent Hermes Happily I offer my surrender when at last tis time to leave The sun is warm and brightly shown Though my face is found in wanting So I walk at night in a city known and bodies pass like ships undaunted Demon or Daemon, the moments thrill gazes held amid motions thrown Two philosophers at The Hemlock Grill embracing axiomatic trace resume

The world is so beautiful, Through eyes purified by love. Who knew That one person Could wash away the brokenness of this cruel world.

Purified

The world is so beautiful, Through eyes purified by love. Who knew That one person Could wash away the brokenness of this cruel world.

What a beauty this life might be if we learned to listen in order to understand instead of listening just to reply and regain focus of the spotlight.

I Want to Listen Better

What a beauty this life might be if we learned to listen in order to understand instead of listening just to reply and regain focus of the spotlight.

Humans are animals. We believe we are the superior species, But we are equal, equally animals Both crave companionship. Both need to procreate. Even human specific characteristics Are that of all animals. Love is not related to only our species. It resides in all living creatures Even if we deny it scientifically. And that is why it is beautiful. It is not rare, like we want it to be. It is not defining, like we hope it to be. It is not individualistic; it is normal. And that is why it is beautiful. So often we believe that beauty comes from The different, the exotic, the rare. But it resides in our most basic human make-up, Our genetics. And that is why it is beautiful - it is everywhere. So why, as humans, do we crave to be unique from other animals? We are the same. We are all beautiful. We all love. We are animals. Embrace it.
