#simply
I try being kinder to myself
Forgiving of my imperfections
Each step echoes through eternity
Taken in wrong direction
Even when road is hard
Life pushes me around
Landing smack on my bottom
Find a way to rise off of the ground
An ankle deep puddle of shame surrounding
Deepening every day
Soaking down each opportunity
Until too drowned to stay
It's a puzzle in the solving
Existing hard and I want to know why
Sometimes one needs little bit of help
Let go of the anchors not letting them fly
Simply being not good enough
Searching for signs
Future bliss
Remind me the reasons not to give up
It would be so much easier than this

My expectations
Embrace nothing, is something
Simply and fully

my biggest dream is to simply be
to exist in a world that does not bound me
to occupy spaces, to be free
my biggest dream is to simply be
to experience the land and sea
to breathe, to live without worry
my biggest dream is to simply be
to love the people dear to me
and even those that hurt thee

No words explain just how you make me feel
Keeping me safe from danger
You are made of steel
The warmth rises up body to flush my tired face
Company would be impossible to replace
I cannot describe depths of my gratitude
Instead of affection display attitude
But without your presence house wouldn't be home
Painting world with color
Without it is monochrome
Only you have power to make heart beat fast
Do more for me than I ever could have asked
Attraction embedded in bone and cell
Crazy about you
Easy to tell
I adored you from the very start
Smile and eyes are a work of art
Up close melt into your skin
Fell into your being
You make my head spin
The second we touch
Surroundings fade out
When sad you steal away my pout
I have uncontrollable urge to rip off your clothes
Can't believe it's me you chose
You radiate light that shines from your soul
That brightens the darkness inside boring a hole
Where I am missing pieces you instead fill
Emptiness with butterflies that refuse to be still
You fufill deepest fantasies and desires
When lips brush neck it sets my nerves on fire
The chaos of universe may try to break us apart
It's not stronger than the bonds connecting our hearts
I hope emotions last forever
After time itself ends
Nothing I own as valuable as these precious hours we spend
This memory one I promise to always hold dear
Even if you leave someday you'll never fully disappear
I simply wish you to share the same enchantment I do
Every day I consider a gift because I get to wake up next to you

I am terrified to fall in love with you
Know how easily I can break
Say it is worth the risk
Don't get how much is at stake
Got fantasies frolicking in skull
Pills do not make me feel as great as you
I don't dare succumb to effects
Fairytales are too good to be true
That little voice whispering
To try again and be brave
My longing is stifled by past events
When I last let my resolve cave
Can I find strength to take the plunge?
Leap off cliff to uncharted depths below?
Without harness or safety net to catch
Unwilling to allow myself to sink that low
Help cut tethers trapping me in this place
Give anything to feel free once more
My fear holds me captive inside a prison
I can't seem to find the door
You make falling appear easy
With snap of fingers head over heels
Icy heart has been frozen for so long
Can barely remember how being alive feels
I wish I could forget sorrow
Brought by mention of a familiar name
Remind myself that you are different
Still worry it will end the same
It does not seem fair for you to give your all
Equal effort expected in return
I am simply unable to reciprocate
Love and consideration for which you yearn

I wish I could talk to you,
not like how I talk to God
but how I talk to myself
when I'm not missing being loved.

we used to run without shoes
we used to swim without snorkels
we used to walk not drive a car
we used to heal without a pill
we used to be happy without a screen
we find our way without emaps
we used to procreate without ****
we are accessory addicted
alone we are conflicted
from nature we have shifted
from ourselves we have drifted
a man is rich
in proportion
to the number of things
he can afford to let alone (Thoreau)

I'll search the towns
The sun is ours
Let us live
Like these are our last hours
Everyday I relive this time
I will never feel alive
I will never give up this fight
Like these are our last hours
As we are lost in them
Your tears come falling instead
The pain just ebbs
What was love has now left

Strolling over these strange pathways
without any destined goal
But my mind is at ease, without any
fear of, past, present or future
I loosened up my majestic wings
to float through those soothing current of winds
Today I saw the snow drifting through the cold night
Such an unforseen serene feeling, it gave!
With a cold heart, I drift off to faraway places
Chasing myself in the storm and fog
In this vast and wide sky
Wishing someday to find myself.

If you are too tired to speak,
then be eloquent in silence
Sometimes it does seem hideous,
but devour it and taste it.
Maybe somewhere you will find it
luscious!

#*Winning and Losing
Are moments
Sometimes
Just moments apart
Trying are the times
And try we must
To put in our best efforts
Failures
Lures one, for more trials
And a desire to reach goals
Success*#

Perhaps
Silence is what we need
And words
are simply
the sound of the universe

I wasn't down in the bottom
Nor was I up somewhere High
I feel no need to race the wind
Or spit into the eye
I have no driving hunger
Nor am I starving for results
I'm no more moved by accolades
Than I am by any vile insults
l could leave right this moment
With no need to even look back
No more purpose or Direction
than a windblown empty paper sack
If I had any emotional connection to anything anywhere or at any time
The line which held that feeble pull
Has now released me from all ties that bind
The shadow that I have often followed
Or was aware of in my wake
Doesn't seem to be as intrinsically connected
As the power wane's and lights dim accentuating every ache
So that in turn what might once concern
And set on edge some Keen insight
To push the ink through an all consuming link
Driving that need to succeed by saying it just right
Has just become some Tangled mess
Endless threads and those ancient dreads
For if nothing changes the course or flow
Then that sack in directionalless flight is right in caring not why or when how or where it heads
Who cares if all those words ended up simply scattered
And you are a hollowed-out core nothing more
Defeated and depleted by the knowledge that nothing mattered
If words are heard and only those understood the others we ignore
You know what I mean
understand where I'm coming
from
And you say wow man I can relate
Then tell me my friend
before I end
what's the difference in a morsel
and a crumb
If they all taste the same then they are mundane

In the end,
You didn’t choose me,
And for that
I simply say
Thank you.

the type of love where i catch you staring at me. longingly. admiringly. the type of love i can feel, not only hear.
the type of love where i look over at you. my eyes become fixated. locked. my heart becomes warm. full. the type of love where i look at you. and i love you. i simply. i love you.
you meet my glance. with no words. you love me back. you love me back. you don’t even need to say.

hello and welcome to the machine age
where pink floyd your tour guide
where human beings the laughing stock
on the supposed creature comforts
but in truth dependent on those big and little gadgets
designed by the brainchildren of past and present.
civilization at the mercy of those trappings
envisioned by wunderkinds
that propelled the masses from labor
yet now shackled to technology
far removed from simple existence of yore
when people used horse power
as their chief form of locomotion in the bustling towns
that inexorably spawned metropolises
that birthed towering skyscrapers
leading to potential fiascos by making civilization incumbent on
factories generating gewgaws in tandem with industrial waste.
survival of numerous species
(including that of man/womankind) hangs in the balance
as population explodes beyond
the capacity of planet earth to support
such a burgeoning billions fold burst of **** sapiens
filling every nook and cranny on this third rock from the sun
foisting an inconvenient gory truth
that catastrophe looms ever closer
perching all living organisms ever closer to the brink
of disaster and eventual extinction
unless dramatic measures taken to manage reproduction.

I stayed up late tonight,
last night too,
the day before that,
caffeine cranking my gears,
family making me see days through.
on the coldest nights, where I feared failure,
I looked to my right and always knew
I'd fight every battle with you.
I get stuck and erase parts, I felt wouldn't fit us well.
imagine all the lines deleted, the things I never tell.
the illuminated nothing that strangles at my soul,
it speaks to me in phrases yet I never let it be whole.
as I walk down this hallway, a hallway of five feet,
to a room I know contains the best thing I'll ever meet
Don't ask me which,
I couldn't choose, they each have me in a hold
so tightly I am wound, I would let all else go.
I'm a child for being lost in here
I'm a man for walking through the door
looking at most of you, I wonder what you are.

feverish scrawling writing in tongues
speaking in fingers
eyes blind to the outside world
mind's sight fixed on a familiar girl
who are you
you already know my name
I'm confused
you only have yourself to blame
leave me alone
I know you'll be easily tamed
please stop this
I'll teach you to love this game
I wake to the pain of pencil splinters
and a poem ended with bloodied fingers.
washing my handsin the sink
I need a moment to think
I need a breather
drown myself in water
muddled, all my thoughts are.
eyes open to the outside world
I check my reflection
eyesight catches a familiar girl
are you ready your lesson

Simply irresistible, let's say,
Is chocolate calling you today?
Simply irresistible,
Fat and sugar so edible,
Endorphins so pleasurable,
Is chocolate calling you today?
Simple irresistible, let's say....

Live life simply
Few possessions
Even fewer cares
Lightens a heavy heart.
Expectations weigh one down
Expect nothing
Gain everything
Live life simply
