#newworld
A hot air balloon hung motionless in the sky, we stepped out of the vintage car by some inventory on the cobblestones behind us, my older self stood on the iron bridge watching how we and the dog looked around in the new world which rose half-dreamed, half in brick from the mist of the old Belgian land beneath the clouds of time and the threat of the wind that will blow away everything dear to us

The new world
Obligation or love, I demand you. It is possible for both to genuinely persist. Time is all that remains—Join me, don't let it slip. Fleeting moments of flawed interactions, it's a lot of pressure, so many unrealistic measures. A long marriage can't be what happened. Is it an obligation? We are Wed but not whole—just fractions. Does obligation masquerade as love? Drench me in affection. Time’s fading ... ENOUGH.... Half a decade, and I’ve felt you escaping. Time binds my heart; with bitter intuition, I’m begging to escape it. I need you to face me. All the FIGHTING is for you. My fear, you were my safety. Obligation or Love, are we divided?

Coexist
Our affection in question, you remain dismissive. Confidence drowns you with no words, no kissing. Clasping me. Your unspoken energy is staggering. Demanding of me, Abrading my fear, curating my thoughts back to us. A cluster of memories adrift, drafting clear thoughts. I’m unhappy, the downer, the anchor to our drifting, silent sea.

Adrift
“To each their way” I spite sputter departing “home” “The New World!” They say “A new life!” Then how did she hold me the way I scorched the sky yearning to be held How did he know He answer the questions I urged the moon to answer Demanding an answer! How is it new? How so If all of it is familiar? I am greeted with “Welcome Home” Not “Welcome” I'm not discovering, yet continuing Resat in my nook They said “We’ll leave you be” “No please, come join me” I say “My home craves it’s warmth” WIth that a light reborn This soft, calm, but indomitable glow The light at the of the tunnel Yet no tunnel ever existed I merely opened my eyes Greeted with the warmth The love The joy the home I dreamt of The one I kept squinting at miniature distance They asked “how do you like your new home? It’s like I never left.

My brightest star. When I met you, a new galaxy was born. One that was made from our love for each other. And that galaxy, it's interstellar! It's vast and never ending, like my love for you, like yours for me. It has many stars, ones that I'm sure you created, because just like you they're by far the most beautiful things I've laid eyes on. There's a sun too! Luminary and cosmic in size! I'm certain we made it together! That sun, it's bright, so bright, fueled by love and care, how else would it be able to burn for so long and be so radiant? But that's not all, of course, there's more! Distant nebulae: a sign of more beautiful stars being created, the endless flashing of comets whizzing by: a show of constant burning love and desire, the dancing patterns of breathtaking aurora: symbols of our enchanting love. And countless other things! Our galaxy is never just a black void, it always has constant attractions, a statement to how loving you is never boring. You're like a black hole, you have an irresistible pull, inescapable attraction! The only thing I'll ever remain beside. We'll make countless memories, you and me, and store them in those magnificent stars you make, our very own constellations. What will you name them? ... And you might be wondering , "where are we in this galaxy?" We're floating, me and you, witnessing this beautiful new place that we're creating, together.

Our Galaxy; A Love Letter
Who is right—us or them? None stand pure, all condemn. Same mistakes, the same old tricks, a world that bends to the strongest sticks. They want what they want—flawless, bright, a hollow dream wrapped up in light. A lie that grips, that shapes the mind, none escape, none unwind. Broken thoughts, blind beliefs, like flies drawn close to tainted grief. They circle, they feed, they take their share, but none ask why, none even dare. All fear when new thoughts rise, the steps of change beneath closed eyes. A world still wears the same old gloves, different hands, but still it shoves. Never bow to a stick, break free, step ahead, seek, question, see. Rise before they bring decay, before they mold minds into clay. No stick will feed the hungry mind, no chains can hold the ones who find— the truth, the cracks, the space between, where freedom waits, unheard, unseen.

THE POWER THEY FEAR
Where is the sound That once gave meaning To my name. It seems lost in the echoes The sound of a Crying shame. I try to pinpoint the time Channels I was Passing through When I could interpret pre-echo When each syllable Rang true When my offspring was purer Relative to Innate impurities. Girl, boy vastly interrupted. So much for blood As a surety. Belly fire lessens with years. Caution blows back In the wind. Flirting with status quo delusions. Slogans & logos Slowly rescind. Pure thought tainted with church & state. Leftist & Right Wing views Scientifically spliced. This new world creation seldom takes sides. Calculates the outcome & always Dresses nice. I’m halfway there, queasy still Rhetorical views beginning to Make sense. Cautious malaise on either side. Starch chaffing neck Outcome offense. I occasionally hear my voice That blew with caution In the wind. Volcano dormant still pushes the crust. Delusions sicken me back To the fringe.

Lost in Echo
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Did the past month really occur Or I just hallucinated that we met? Consectetur adipiscing elit Did I regret it Or did I wish I stayed longer for a bit? Sed do eiusmod tempor Did you regret it Or are you wishing now for more? Placeholder, I'm just another design page, whose lips are a passing, familiar symbol. A replacer, You're just another pretty face, whose eyes I already forgot the color. We move along and away, Get on with our diring days I couldn't even dare call you a lover, we really just both filled each other.

Lipsum
A normal night arises, we take comfort with one another as we have in many past connections. You reach for me I oblige. My body yearning for its pleasure, a silent request for more than traditional I grasp you with a deep ****** of my body. Pulling my leg up resting it on your left shoulder I slowly pull your lips to mine. Dropping my right leg connecting our bodies, our toes gently touch. I can feel your smile, as our bodies naturally take their own course gripping together. Your body heated your rhythm climbing I pull away just enough to include your hand allowing you to feel me as your manhood penetrants. Guiding you gripping you with nothing more than my lady. I plead for you to lay deeper allowing you to experience my true pleasure Your one finger touching gently my lady's grip tightens our stare opening up as you experience my ****** control.

Life was unkind, writing brings me light. Most of my writing is trashed. In hopes, the world around me can't see who I am. Words are kind. No thought left behind Spilled time in ink reassuring myself, freedom of speech.

Time is. Time takes. Time lives. Time has beauty only seen in moments of its existence Time is the unknown repeating routines of its experiences. Day-by-Day Minute-by-Minute wonder surrounding time, giving moments, expanding existence. Leisures linger in wonder. Grasping moments. Time is. Time takes. Time gives.

Time Is
We seek out a new world explore what we can Find to creatures in the land whether you be a woman or man You dive headfirst into the challenge Not prepared for what might happen To find what was lost and bring back home just to study the unknown Suppiles is limited so use it wisely Time is percious but don't rush Be aware of what lurks in the dark animals like we've never seen before hidden deep with the ground Some may hide out of fear of what could be there But in your mind you say "You never know until you get there" living by your words Even if it means travelling to the darkess city or a lost forest even a cave no one has ever seen. You do it for the fun and for the rush It's like a new adventure every day "What's next?" is what you'd say

Adventure
Far away from here, There is somewhere. I dnt need to cry, and bow down to all your whys. The questions and demand, Here i burden myself with all your commands. But somewhere, My view matters, My choices are better, I dnt need to follow command And my desire expand. I wish to meet you there too, So that you see how happy i am without you.

Far away from here..!!
The bird struggled to its feet The day had finally come In fear the bird gave a small tweet The first flight is frightening to some Fly or fall, two options nothing more nothing less To me this is comparable to my own stress I asked her out, she said yes. I thought my trial had ended I flew from the tree and didn’t fall But now is the greatest test of them all Will I survive the world of prey? Or will I fall victim and dark be my days? No one knows til the end is come Not even the bird itself until it has lived a full life and bourn it’s young. Or one with the earth the bird has become

First Flight
you talk like a kennedy. east-coast americana. salt spits from your weaponised mouth. go back to your compound and lie on the surf from whence you came. chunky sweater man. i’m not your jackie, nor will i piece your head back together. your old-world dreams return to the sea.

We were always crazy kids with crazy dreams. And we never changed. Crazy kids. With their crazy ideas. Ideas of world peace and of no hunger. These crazy kids they say. But I’m one of them. A crazy kid with her own crazy ideas. Crazy dreams. Dreams full of nothing but the future. Crazy girl. With your crazy thoughts. Stop for a second. They’ll say give up. Don’t do it crazy kid. Don’t ever look back. Or down. Or away. Crazy kid with your crazy thoughts. What will you think of next?

Crazy Kids
Don't just think That our eyes are filled with rebellion We a have desire for a better world Add on your story if you can relate, your voice, everyday People trapped in busy days, gettimg swept away So stop pretending you're safe and sound It's just a cycle of being perpetrators and victims Why we say go louder. We're so young We're so freaky We're trapped inside, losing what's real We be screaming "GO" Another pain, another page Another song, this one If no one can understand me Then my dream will make you understand Shout even louder, go Trust your ego and for everything else, eyes closed This isn't just my monologue We're dreaming together, dreamers shout back.

long winding roads will you ever end? this place is starting to look a lot like home; pine trees and fields as far as the eye can see. golden rays warming my skin, and illuminating the sky as we settle into a new world.

why can't we buy and sell emotions? let's make a new world where we could? shall we? i would sell my joy i guess it's really annoying i can't stand it because it's comes and goes when it pleases and i would buy trust because it would be pleasing to count on someone what would you sell or buy? anger, fear, shame, envy or sadness? courage, confidence, patience, kindness or love? join me in this mystery.. /M.A./

new wORld
we woke up from our dream. The playground was empty, the swings barely touched by toddlers. We wanted too be like mommy when mommy is on drugs and daddy can't be found. It's so hard trying to remember the last time you preferred soda over ***** because soda doesn't make you forget the pain as well. Can you believe we really did sit on those swings, wanted to watch reruns and drink soda? Even wanted to be like our parents for a time? It may look nice, cheerful, and happy as can be but its cold out here in the world and sometimes I'm happy I woke up. I know that its not unicorns and sugar-pops all around but, there are times I wish I was oblivious to my indigenous home. Friend we woke up a long time ago but you handled it differently than I. So differently that you were dreaming again just a new dream. I only wonder when you will wake up this time.

We Woke Up
Let's be real My poetry isn't what it use to be I use to write these poetic lines that made you nod your head to the beat Made you rise from your seat and do a 360 just to hear me speak But now if that is what you seek I'm sorry to disappoint but all you will see is me struggling Living the recession to the fullest Unable to connect the dots that float right in front of me Yes, this is one of those stories About how one of the greats have fallen from the heavens he once resided The only difference is I was never a great I'm just a simple minded being who seeks peace for society's sake But that's kind of hard when society gets off on war Creating these war torn third world countries who can't even breathe the air they live off on Then again I'm only 18 so who am I to call out society and its perfect system that has been in play for centuries So let me just close my mouth now and send you on your marry little way But before I go there is just one last thing I would like to say Act now before it is too late.
