For the longest time sadness lived with us. It was necessary for happiness. For the longest time what we wanted was happiness and that could be found in things that made us happy. So chase your dreams and chase happy moments. Live with what keeps u happy, moving forward and hoping for a better tomorrow. For the darkness doesn't know of warmth. So find happiness in the brightest of places. Focus on the good not the bad. Thats how happiness is found, so focus on what u have now, not what could be. For time is but a moment. And what's lost cant be found, time is fair that way for all.

More for me, more for you More for us, more ado This I can't help, the fire within I try to say nay but nay it is to kin This music in my soul, it needs a singing bowl This freedom in my lips, it needs a tap O drips These winds of thy awry They rip & shred & die The howls of the one remain They leave their ****** stain Non-sensical words amok Non-sensical days tick tock

16T) Non-sensical (D9444T)
Broken not spoken. Injured not healing for what have we done? This garden of ours where we wind away the hours amongst the roses has all but gone - for the world is broken, damaged and beyond repair as we all sit in our lair, of consumerism and capital divide. Why can we not live as one? Instead we resort to bombs, collateral damage without any thought, for this war is never won. Oh COVID what have you done? You came along at the worse time a clear year for many without fear - now that has all but gone, the instigation of fear you bought with you that runs deep. Creating dividends that divide and not untie. For the world is broken. Damaged and makes no sense. Did we ever learn to heal or does the war that has been raging still go on? Now what have we done? Damaged you beyond belief and yet as we go one, no turning back to previous life. Instead earth you are punishing us. For damaging you throughout humankinds existent. But don't worry, we created a broken world.

A Broken World
There once was a poet who moved With words as a crutch, through the days He knew where to get a new one To support him through life, always. But the time came that he was lost In a forest, hungry and tired He couldn't find the way back home His word of the day had expired. And so he lay in wait till dawn So he'd have a clearer mind He resolved to visit the store For an anchor that sounded kind. Month after month, year after year Passed slowly as he searched in vain Until he couldn't walk a step So then he crawled, wailing in pain. He'd known this would happen to him 'Writer's block', a feared condition That attacked those forged from language There was no cure for this affliction. And soon the town forgot their names The woods became haunted in grief Of poetic ghosts that long for words In damnation without relief.

Lost tale
The narcissistic urge flips eggs now. Our ex-veteran father-figure gets a hamster, calls it Snuffles. The thing you don’t know until the end of the script of the Tarantino-twist is that our protagonist sits rocking back and forth in a barren room inside a strait-jacket. Meanwhile, our enemy shouts something along the lines of: "grab a spoon I hope they don’t wash their hands" The stones fallen off their strings, gunshots hotwire themselves away from a dubstep kind of drilling, the pipe dream of an intimate email relationship. Shout again, "I hope you never feel those clammy hands. Blaarghh" Your diner eggs stink I chucked up In the kitchen bin.

Snuffles
Let the babble stop Let the brain farts cease Let pleasure be your guide And the poet slip into their persona, Like a performance uniform, A slip dress An existential throw up of thoughts like Bad Chinese food. The kind that climbs out of Tupperware, slippers ready Of Tupperware and ready slippers ***** out takeaway rice. Performance uniforms sit up in bed, Babbling about existential poets. The bad Chinese food Waltzes with its guide, Brain dribbles out of nostrils. Dear night-shoes, This babble has ceased, Pleasurely.

Performance Artist's Alibi
Bittersweet and lemon treats Tanking troubled hatless heaps   Salty horizon flogs sweet beach Sandy skin, too soft a peach Your thumb brushing my left cheek Can you still smell the apple’s reek Skewed hearts remain in heat   Devine reminds a heart to beat Kept up in the saddles seat King of every bit of hate, wash These battered palms disgrace Love has sunk the ship of face Tulips lack the need for space Whips of stars appear in plight Have you only fight or flight? Good wills only break the bank And I’ve only left myself to thank

Silly rhymes, tricks are for kids
“Oh hell yea, they’re suffering! They’re believing that they can go home, but aren’t getting any closer to the Entropoid Valley which leads to Kubla Khan, by whom they were cremated and born. Instead, they’re here, whiling away their days for boys who are bringing the death of days.” “Hold your thoughts, lad!” Yells the Cameraman of the Head. “I’m here, I’m in your head ImhereImhereImThere. You’ve no right to chastise the boys who have not kissed the horror. They’ve seen it, yes. But they haven’t captured it, you see. I am the camera, in my ribs are the film reels, the oscilloscope in my uvula, the trigger rested in my right earlobe. I tell you, there is strength in their brutality, I can bring you the tribal taste.” “Man, we was just talking about centrifugal farce.” “Centripetal.” “No, was it?” “Wasn’t it?” “Hey! I believe-“ “Can’t be” “Shan’t be” “Oh, whatever. Those bullets find their way to the ***** anyhow.” “Anywho.” “Hey, grab your Coca Cola, Clean. We’re ‘bout to miss the show. The cameraguy could record it if he wants.”

Centrifugal Farce
Sewer rats bottleneck into a Carnival of Depravity. Due to the bizarre circumstance of their fingers, they allow their limbs to become limp. As Valkyries, they are aware of the juxtaposition of their clown pantaloons and their hobnailed mudboots. In this benefit carnival, a ferris wheel runs amok. Within it, GI’s holler their way through the vermillion skyway, zippoing the dented carapace with their M16s. In a true practice of youthful bliss, the 5.56 returns to the cosmos. However, the bullets, streaming out and homewards, are soon constrained to the circular path of the wheel itself. “Centripetal farce!” goes Lance. “Hey what, man?” whimpers Mr. Clean. “Well, y’see: centripetal fOrce makes an overwhelming amount of sense. So much so, that when superimposed on the Carnival Cavalcade™, it must make no sense, for it’d shake us all up something mad.” “So, the bullets aren’t real?” “Oh, they’re plenty real. Just touch it, it’d melt you, starting with the neurons, cat. Other than little blue reality though, it’s out there. Its dancers are not chained to any concrete block of nature.” “Oh, they’re sufferin’?”

Centripetal Farce
By the 1960s, a disillusionment with Nationalism and war was permeating within the public consciousness. Man: jazz. Jazz! Everything sounds like jazz when you lend your hears an oscilloscope. You know what j-a-z-z sounds like? Well, it’s sweet, serendipitous or nonsensical, nihilistic. Modern in stainless steel or anachronistic in brass. Jazz! So what? Jazz sounds like anything that’s everything and vice versa. It’s a limb of that omniscient looker up and over: the tune itself. Oh, the tune? It’s what lies between your fingers when you’re writing, forging, loving, giving, perishing. You strut with the frequency of a conduit, but an unaware one at that. A change is gonna come in mere years, I know that much. Everyone will be deloused in the pain of the world; Mother Sympathy for all, even the charlatans who hide behind their crimson fur! All I’m saying is, whoever brings it ought to be from this place. I can’t fathom a recalcitrant extraterrestrial handling our own business at the expense of their planet’s water supply. I’m excited for whatever comes, believe me. So long as it ends me and with me.

Divine Interjection
How can I feel alone with you right by my side? I am at war with these feelings I hide, You try so hard, always lend a helping hand, But when it comes to my soul I fear you don't understand, I wish you had a mind that worked like mine, Anxious and uncertain all of the time, And emotions that constantly go up and down, With ideas incessantly spinning like a merry-go-round, Or maybe I just want you to get why I am easily upset and often cry, When you tell me I'm crazy that word cuts through my skin, You of all people should be aware of the chaos within, But instead I feel in my body there must be something wrong, Around you I feel like my inner thoughts do not belong, I know there is no reason for my steadily shifting mood, But knowing that still does not better my attitude, I can tell you love and care for me so very much, But lately I wonder if that is enough, I find myself trying to be someone different for you, So we can be happy and not break in two, But I'm starting to realize and accept I'll always be like this; insecure, ******** a total wreck, Its not fair to you when you give all you have, To give up on evolving and only put in half, You deserve more than what I can offer, Someone who will aid you to thrive and prosper, It's clear to see I am holding you back, A distraction somehow guiding you off-track, Taking up too much of your time and energy, Yet when I tell you to go, you say you only want me, Why is that when I am bitter and cold? You could find a far warmer hand to hold, I want you to love me for not despite My endless flaws that cause us to fight, I wish I loved you enough to let you go, It would hurt me but it would be what's best I know, I am too selfish to say goodbye and depart, So I continue to break both our hearts, In hope that your love will make me whole, Fill up and repair this gaping hole, I lie not only to you but to myself, Inside I sense we are too damaged to be helped, So we live every day with a smile on our faces, We follow our routine, go the usual places, But something is off, engraved in each bone, You're right here so why do I still feel alone?

Why Do I Feel Alone If We Are Always Together?

i think i forgot to take my pills today because i swear somebody just slammed a car door behind me why else would my ear be ringing and my body jumping unless that was simply the sound of my neck snapping. as my brain body dis- connects and every- thing looks like a circle be- cause it all whizzes past me my body can't respond because yes that was the sound of my neck snapping. Maybe i just rolled my head back too hard in agony tragic forget-mistake 'take these everyday' 'or what?' 'you might feel like yourself' what a thought. This can't be me- i've cried three times today, please someone tell me why i can't sleep without dreaming ... because i always have to wake up.

Thinking is a difficult thing. Thinking is a difficult thing. You think that thinking may be too much thinking for you, Your mind flowing like the wind, in the wind, on the wind, Stepping through the passage of the wind, unknown to you. Highlight cities in grass so green That thinking seems a silly thing Thinking is a difficult thing.

I don’t think I want to go to class today But around you I don’t know what I think I think I thought that you think I think But I thought you thought that you loved me My senses are nonsensical My thoughts are a jumble Of words and phrases So maybe I should go to class Just this one time Because then I put these thoughts on paper But I still can’t say them to your face Because then they come out like Class I maybe have shouldn’t gone thought to

"Class Today"
And if I could cry- for just a little while My body would run dry Tear ducts, like air ducts I need a replacement The ventilation is all wrong Misty and fogged glasses- Impair my vision Remove them and I am blind Blind to the heartache- the metaphorical bleeding inside of my mind Every day the pain grows- Grows roots, roots that once kept me grounded Now I'm surrounded- by the demons I once banished Rip the roots from my feet and all I'm left with is nothing. Nothing but darkness and blank space Dark and deep The black hole In which I keep you Swirls infinitely I brace myself for impact the meteorite sets it sights on my chest ****** target, take aim and gain flight Don't miss, you'll regret it I could be angry, but what's the point? You're gone forever and never coming back © 2017 Christina Jackson

Piano Blues
you are the white in my eyes the blood in my veins you are everywhere, yet nowhere all at once confusingly sensible reliably unreliable so dangerously safe my uprising and my downfall i mask this uncertainty with the face you wear hidden in plain sight so violently soft i take what you give stolen willingly a thief in the night i embrace your darkness and revel in the light you shine your touch, so gentle, it burns yet i find comfort in this pain inhuman in its humanity they say opposites attract and this love is nonsensical but i'll accept what is given for it is given by you

nonsensical
Sometimes when I skip rocks at the sea, I'm surprised it doesn't throw them right back at me. As when I was a much younger girl, I always kicked out at the world, but the world kicked back harder each time, maybe just trying to keep me in line. In life there's a set of lessons that we have to learn, like passing your hand through a flame and seeing eventually that your skin will burn. Or trusting the wrong person to keep your secrets and to guard your heart, because more often than not, you'll have it ripped apart. Maybe these thoughts hold no meaning, but I've been dying just to get them out. Since I was born I've been fiending, to know what this whole life is about. Every night I look for life in the skies, but the only other world I've found is in my dog's eyes. Her world is a place where love is given freely, where ours is where our hearts leave unintentionally. Maybe these thoughts hold no value, but I've been dying just to give them air. You would if you were plagued by them too, I just want one night where my mind's bare. Sometimes I envy those who don't hold their tongues, I'm filling up with unspoken words and they're now filling up my lungs. If I keep staying silent I will most likely drown, but if I open up my mouth the water will rush on down. Do you ever think we live in a picture painted by manipulative hands? because from far away it looks perfect, but close up the colours have blended at the strands. Maybe we're just hung on a wall with a glance from bored eyes, and the only sounds in the gallery is a mix of yawns and sighs. Maybe these thoughts hold no currency, but I've been dying just to get them out. Right now my mind's in a state of emergency, I've been crying so hard that there's now a drought.
