I stood by the ocean once, back against a cold wall, and for a second I couldn’t tell which one I was. The ocean kept throwing itself forward. Loud. Messy. Unashamed. Like it didn’t care how many times it had to break to be heard. The wall just stood there. Quiet. Taking hit after hit like it signed up for it. I used to think I was the ocean. All emotion. All reaction. Crashing into everything that didn’t understand me. But some nights I feel more like the wall. Still on the outside. Hollow on the inside. Smiling like nothing is chipping away. Water is patient. It doesn’t argue. It doesn’t need the last word. It just comes back. That’s what thoughts do. That’s what regret does. They don’t scream. They return. Little by little they carve something out of you until you knock on your own chest and it sounds different. Empty in places. Echoing. The crazy part is the wall never notices the moment it starts becoming hollow. It happens slowly. Quietly. Between impacts. But here’s what the ocean taught me. Hollow doesn’t mean useless. It doesn’t mean weak. Sometimes it just means you survived enough pressure to change shape. The ocean never quits. The wall never runs. And somewhere between crashing and standing you learn how to bend without breaking. I don’t know if I’m the ocean or the wall anymore. Maybe I’m both. Maybe we all are. But I know this. Even hollow things still stand. — Itz_All_True

Hollow Against the Ocean

A request for a poem
Greet me with thy Spring sprite, fresh-docile smile. Whose kindred whispers woo like hymns of lovers' tune. Enamor me with dazzlin', fizzy phrases-- like doting night enthralls, with stars, the demure moon. Swaddle me within thy nesting veils of neverending charms. Congenial hover as clouds do-- to pacify and soothe the brassy, brazen heated sun. Drench my dreams-- with furor baron kisses gained. Just like celestial downpours-- gift of life, revive the plains in drought--with Heaven's bursts of feral rains.

~•§•~ A Single Request ~•§•~
Lately my heart has been aching Due to problems of my own making Feelings I find hard to express In a poem I can confess Now an audience I desire To share the fruits of my inner fire A small thing I request My need is great ... this is no jest

A Poets Need
Oh dear Lord, please don’t allow anything to obstruct our devotion or love to You but if something interferes help us to overcome it so as to Your love we can be true. In this world we are all beset at times by so many unwanted tribulations and woes that it seems as if they serve to lead us away from instead of towards You dispose. ________________________

Quatrain #414 - Oh Dear Lord ......
Oh my lover, Do not mind my haircut. If you miss my longer hair, See an older picture. I am surely bigger than my locks, My experience is the greatest.

All I ask at the end
-My Burial Wish. Please listen to my request within my letter, Once the time comes to make my bed six feet under: Sprinkle fresh crimson roses upon my cold body, Then spray me with lavish perfume made from honey. Put a little bible within my jean pocket, Place an art sketchbook and a pen in my casket. Tie my gold crucifix of Christ around my neck, Next lay my Paul Reed Smith guitar upon my chest. Dress me in my baja hoodie I find fancy, From Nepal handmade in the Kathmandu valley. Clothe my legs with new light blue skinny denim jeans, Put batacombe dark leather boots on my feet please. Lastly, leave my gold ring on my right ring finger, For it was a surprise present from my father.

Translated by Przemyslaw Musialowski 5/27/2019 Mother, you know - darkness is coming, so lend me a lantern that I may distinguish in the dark what is black. That I may feel the white of the jasmines, though their smell still makes me think of death, but this affliction I would like to cure. Plant the soothing flowers and say - on the field furrows, like on a lowland meadow, moments of happiness bloom as well from a passage - to a passage. Send me a letter of hope that you will be able to come and that you will blow the candle out when the time to wake up comes. You will lead me by the hand because I am still a child, and I'm not ashamed to ask you - talk to God there about difficult matters - after all, you also shared the burdens of existence, here where every day is different and where there are no sinless.

It is for the sake of a project of mine that I cannot elicit the conclusion of properly since I am murky in concept of the algorithm that makes the another gender work.

Request.
In a far distance land, away from humans There you can see a great forest of beauty A dense forest with moist green moss And mighty trees stand proud in its green leaves Under the warm breeze of the summer season; If you go deeper unto the green land, Beyond the tall trees and silence of the forest You'll see a wondrous place a city can never offer Because you'll see what nature's true beauty is; There you can see diversity in animals and plants; Somewhere into the forest, a creature can be seen They are free to roam around in their own habitat And as nighttime comes, they retreat to their homes Into their own dens for shelter, protection and comfort As they sleep and wait for the sun rises in the morning; I honestly say they are truly a majestic creatures Called Grizzly Bear also know as Brown Bear They are species of mammals with interesting behavior For they hunt and mate in the warm breeze And hibernate in the cold winter season; Grizzly Bear also have unique characteristics: Because of the white tips found in their furs Especially in the shoulders and back part, It creates an illusion of being grizzled; Hence the name Grizzly bear was given; Grizzly Bears are omnivores, a plant and meat eater; They are large, they are hunters, they can fish salmon; They enjoy eating berries and nuts in the forest; They are brown and huggable creatures But don't dare hug them; A Grizzly Mother Bears are great parents too Like any devoted mothers, they teaches their young; Mothers taught cubs to dig and hunt with their claws Also how to stand up tall in their two legs! Like how a adult Grizzly Bear living in the forest should be.

Pray for Everyone
Let me dream, Let me dream, Dream of a place, Where joys have crystalize time, Allowing me for only, Only for a second On eternity’s arms, I can’t hold my sorrows still, Who dwell restless on my chest, A story of confessions, My confessions. Oh dearest, Let me dream Oh dearest, Let me dream Where my tears embody waterfalls, As rivers plant flowers, Along banks of solitude, As well trees, To these wondering mountains Of mine, Reminding me of the simplest Of all designs. Oh dearest, Let me dream Oh dearest, Let me dream Let me dream.
