#depiction
Our desire for emotion in people's craft often forges our unseen path that sometimes may lead to confusion in the process—which sometimes leaves us to hunger for what still lies beyond.

Our yearn for depiction
I want to paint a picture with words So you can see what I see. Let you see all of the art work That hides here inside me. The darks and the lights that glisten I want to share colors and shapes And the music, so you can listen. They make up my internal landscape. My canvas is time, sight and sound And the aromas of my world. I want you to see the way the smoke And all the clouds get curled. The hills and the valleys have views That make you want to be there. The trees and the flowers delight; All inside my memories somewhere. The stories would keep you transfixed, And the people, creatures of fascination Would make you laugh or maybe cry If you could only see my imagination. I am using rhyme and meter to depict As the artist in me articulates dismay That these simple words must transmit As I can only tell you about it this way.

PAINTING A PICTURE
Once she said she will come back When the flower bloom and the rain stop Or after she find the perfect job I don't know the song She said it's good I should listen But even we laugh and play pretend Teardrops and cold clouds The black umbrella flew to the air Your body is stiff and pale Tell me why you hate the rain I always thought it makes you prettier Because you made me forget all of my rules And now I'm waiting for a flower that will never bloom.

Vague Hope
If all you seek is a release for your testosterone and a hiding place for your hormones then leave me in peace, for I'd much rather wrap myself around the words of greater men like Bukowski, or Hemingway, or Poe, Wilde, Cummings or Nietzsche. They'd write about the words that slip from my lips and the way in which they somehow all of a sudden take them back to their childhood when they were three years old again, standing in the kitchen doorway, observing the verbal missiles being shot during the bitter separation of the parents marriage. 
 They'd write about my eyes and the way they glisten with hope, brown orbs lit up like a fire, only to be dampened out again with realisation and truth and disappointment. But, these boys, they don’t bother trying to find out exactly what, or who, I am. yet their concerns regarding me lie within more trivial areas. They don’t know the map of green and blue that my veins depict. they don’t know the emotion that washes over me and grabs a choke of me, leaving me decomposed and gasping for breath. they don’t know the way the mechanics of my mind work. stop ******* disregarding my soul, my PERSON. I am more than a body, i am more than a body, i am more than a body, i am more th- in the words of Sylvia Plath, “kiss me and you will see how important i am.”

Wrong
"You have to prepare yourself for her, I could never just stand still and greet her; it was too much at once her eyes are like magnetic portals, just waiting to teleport your soul into a completely different realm of paradise anything and everything is the greatest time of your life when you have the moon with you feeling her veins is my favourite sport, it's intense... like when your father lets you walk to school by yourself for the first time and you are desperately looking for the road sign you finally see it and your entire body state changes, you feel safe and relieved; that feeling times by 33 thousand." - G.M

The best depiction of me anyone has ever voiced
