#location
Like our planet on a 24-hour cycle, my location is filling with the light of one rotation, transporting me from darkness into light. The next rotation of my location is the dark side of my spiritual sphere; and the next spin will once again transport me into the light of day, the light of the world. We all know that the sun is still in the sky even in the darkest night. Our perspective is from our location. We may be on the other side of the globe--the dark side--but our location will, in one revolution, be filled with light. We are all caught in this literal and figurative human cycle of day and night. We need to have faith in this as we must have faith in gravity, because the alternative is unimaginable darkness!!! This knowing is not only cerebral, but tabulated into a spiritual equation. We must believe because there is no way around it. We simply must believe or lose it all. Our orbit will decay otherwise. We will cease to rotate on our own axis. So in a sense, do or die, because I will surely die spiritually if I don't get lifted to that spiritual space. There is too much at stake; there is so much to lose if I don't transcend the earthly plane of spiritual death and simply believe beyond hope to be freed from the perceived hopelessness and helplessness of our universal existence. The sun is still in the sky even in the darkest night. We simply must have faith and patience to wait our turn.

Rotation of my Location
I wanna run to you in an airport Like they do in 90s romance movies Because I miss you and I’ve been away from home for two years I want to sit on the beach and explain the landscape that You know better than I do In the language it was originally loved in, that You never bothered to learn Why would you? You dip your feet shallowly Into the water instead of dunking yourself Like I do, down up down up down Because you’ll be back tomorrow And I’ll spend fractions of me Waiting for a call or a text For 20 bucks to send you To breathe plumeria-scented air From the oil on the skin of your neck For a picture of the freckles on the webbing between your index and thumb, and the ring That I bought you before I left so that in the pictures you post with your white boyfriend I’m there on your finger So when he’s teaching you the ‘local’ lifestyle I’m there on your finger So when you island hop for a surfing class You keep me on your finger, where I can feel the waves. I want to come home but I can’t, not before I buy you a new ring, out here in the empty expanse of a Where’s Waldo puzzle It has to be Something expensive, something durable That won’t tarnish in the island humidity, something that your San-Francisco friends will ooh and ahh at Because I want to see you wearing it when I get home. I’ve been away from home for fifteen years I return in my dreams, but the soil doesn’t feel right, and the love isn’t how my mother’s father’s father described it At the beach, lots of people swim, but no one else Keeps their head under and lets the water breathe life into their hair. Lets the water into their mouth, chokes, then does it again. But I like the way you Dipped your feet in when you watched me Leave, on a boat chasing Troy Venus my northern star As I enter the storm My boat floats through the violence, against Poseidon’s abundant will because my sail made up of duct-taped exam scores And half-organized sermons Is mightier than any of his sons I’ve been away since 700 BCE But you’ll still know me when I come home

“Sailing”
All roads lead here, the Conduit says. You cannot count the infinite paths. To fathom every touch is madness. But, brick by brick, time after time.. This place has written its own history. How can it be so, in such a small plot, To spin the tales of so many? To be the grand hall of tears and joy, misery and folly, hope and fear? Who would we be without it? How are we so bound to a singularity? We must marvel at the commonness of it all. We must marvel and be thankful. We must marvel but not dwell. All places, in all worlds are the shapers of creation.

Who knows where the heart of a man resides? In the mountains? In the sea? In an empty chest like cavity? Be it hers or mine? Because who knows where the heart of a man resides?

The Location
Located in the prime location Precisely at the right spot. Squaring up the square Laid to measure on the map. Equal each side a cube stands Aligned to the column brimful every inch. What now? ‘Looking for a margin, Wide margin in the solid core.’ Like a human wants to turn up here From every corner every nook. The star splashes into its constellation Like the sun and the moon Love to wrap around here Through the fastest route! What now? ‘Everyone wants a margin Wide margin where it matters all It couldn’t be more brimful.

Prime Location
Could this be the day I've waited for? When all my hard work doesn't go ignored? They always walk away... So there's no use in trying anymore It's like my life is looked upon by jealous eyes Plucking the pearls and personality from my bones They lay the hiatus of happiness with lies Because there's no use in trying anymore

What's The Point Of Removing Yourself From a Location to Another If You're Constantly Alone, If It Feels Like There's No Use In Trying Anymore
By Arcassin Burnham ......And I'm like why you gotta be so Cold, being completely open don't make you Soft at all in the sequences that we follow, I'm hallow, To the way you speak the way I speak, why you gotta be so cold, Im just trying to make a mends so in The after life I would be judged as an adventurous good fellow, I would not wanna waste your time, You're just out of line, and I'm like why you gotta be so cold. / I have to praise you like I should, Love you like I should, Bring the ocean and the stars to your location Like I should, creative mountains of our futures together, Bleeding out bliss and collecting Photos of our past life in which we escaped At a young age, Forgetting the eternal struggle, We've learn to love without hate, We've learn to go forward, We've learn to make the best Of this, We've come along way.

Cold / We've Come Along Way
Is it such a terrible dilema To be torn between two Roads in which opposing Realities compete for existence Should I be so common Or with a key to the unknown Do I open the lock of life And achieve the unexcpected Nostalgia has a deathgrip A noose of fonder times Chokes out the potential In dreams which have yet to come I dare to be unpredictable To, with hesitation now passed, Conquer the life unlived Willingly, regretting nothing.

Into the Unknown?
Meeting friendly people, in knowing That friendship was never an option here Slow journeys, with heavy eyelids Wondering when home will return For home is not a location But a mere fly on the wall
