#twice
fill up my lungs with air
breath out twice as long
every moment i eat up
pay for it when the sun is down
if life is such a cycle than why do i cry
if i was such a ****** than why did you try
i am a puddle, mess of tears
i am muddled and overwhelmed here
i need your cuddles and your warmth
i miss the world that you had shown me
fill up my lungs with air
breath out twice as long
no one can hurt you my dear

No ghost dancer gave me eyes,
eh, who says
You were not there, you did not see.
the people fleeing bombs bursting in air,
oh, say, can you see, the Hotchkiss crews, cheering
as they watch forty or so shells in each series,
so many, like nine of those guys, shooting two,
breechloading cannons, field artillery with airburst
shrapnel rounds at fleeing women and children,
and some, went so stark raving mad, after that,
we had fifty years of drunk indians, life was hard,
nobody had sense enough to sit still and forget,
let it go, as no hold on me, no papers pending
retribution for the life I had, no, I smile, I'm okeh,
I gotta good seed sown some time ago, fruits every year,
just needs a good five decades to get through the rock
Hwéeldi, meaning "the place of suffering.
Hard won wise ways we out live the liars,
Peace is easy, War is hell, and hell is an idea,
not a very good one, it doesn't make sense,
it does make dissonance, too loud, alarm
or gears needing grease last year, is why
prayers who pray for shows, ticket sellers
wives and children, pray for shows success,
attract all the attention in the world, just so
should you ever befriend a dead Marine, say
semper fi, and be ready to be asked, do you
have any idea what that really means,
{meet the spirit of Sgt. John Wikel, as imagined}
after you think about ever for a while,
bed bound, no strolls, no relaxation
but kind and considerate wiping,
so a soul so vulnerable doesn't
feel like, you know, people say ****
I say it, too, but, I don't think about it
legit, idle words, we can cook witshitwished
regretted never fretting yeast, as in us, code,
identical yeast code, runs in us, okey
that's new, right, I learned that, today, so
I can still work a thought up from a meander.
Dine'
concept of Hózhó—
Ai defines as
a totalizing philosophy
of beauty, balance, and universal order
that governs every aspect
of the physical and spiritual world.

I broke my rules for you
As the sky had broken with my rain
Twice did the swinging bells ring
Twice did the windchimes sway
Twice were chances given for you to hit true
But alas, both arrows missed the target
Because both were aimed for my heart
And silent, bleeding, did I take the bow
I broke my beliefs for you
As each line was rewritten in red ink
Burning paper drifted into ashes
Aflame as the memories started to leave
Twice did the sky thunder into sparks
Twice did the match fade back into smoke
Twice was the love chained and retained
But alas, a heart is wild and will escape its cage
And twice, did it return beaten and bruised
So silent, bleeding, did I take the bow

I share my thoughts with you
The world's weight on my back
Romantic delusions spin
Afraid to face the facts
Staring you down as you frown
Gaze right to the bone
Will sing you a lullaby
It makes you feel less alone
And nothing fixes my brokenness
Will exaggerate my claims
It will make me feel better
About the monster I became
The dark days drag their feet
Weeks blur into one
Time my greatest weakness
Will suffering never be done?
Even more sorrowful than usual
Bitten by love
Now I'm shy
You give me hope for happiness
With glimmer in your eye

I said, I too had a love story,
Now another memory in my diary,
I would love to listen, you said quietly,
When I said, I haven’t
forgotten about it entirely,
This is exactly how we started,
Awkward and broken-hearted,
You remind me why everyone else
wasn’t meant to be,
Take my hand and say you’ll
never leave me,
Now I just want to look at the
stars with you,
Hold your hand and tell you how
much I love you,
Thank you for giving me these
lovely endless nights,
And helping me believe that
love can happen twice…

what is it to be 40
twice the man, you were at twenty?
four times the man, you were at ten?
is it being wiser
and having your means meet the end?
finances sured up?
with no need, for to be the miser
a divorce or some
perhaps a strong marriage
polyamorous loves
to your heart's desire
addictions? vices? troubles stifling?
death breathing down your neck
to the thumping of your heartbeat
beads of sweat, gather
and run off your chest
like your shoes on the concrete
you are dying
even while you're living
and you know one day
it'll be your last
cause we only get so long
and time goes fast
a baby is born
the next afternoon
an old man is buried
tomorrow could never come
would you ever know it?

When I was younger I was easily stressed
Now that I'm older I've come to realize that I've wasted a lot of time worrying about things I had no control over
I didn't have control over it then
And I don't have control over it now
Every time I go through a bad time in my life
It makes the previous times seem less bad
It's then that I ask myself, why the hell didn't you just enjoy yourself
What you were stressed about seems so insignificant now
It's like looking at a picture of a past love
You almost always ask yourself ... What was the fuss about ...
And somehow they never appear as pretty as you had remembered them to be
The veil has come off and the ******** truth has been exposed
Like the man who is hungover in the blistering sun
It never goes down well
And no one wants to be twice a fool ...

It's beautiful,
Your days are beautiful,
Beautiful as you are!
Beautiful than a Juliet rose 🌹,
A rose flower of love,
Your beauties are like
Abba and Meemi.
Your ages, are 1 + 1
Twice in halves
Twins, are twice
I wish you
fluky birthday, and
to pass your obstacles
with flying colors.
May your breath
blow the candle
The royal twins
Happy Birthday
Maimunat and Hajarat
Twins daughters of
Mr. and Mrs.

When you measure something once, it doesn't always go the way you fully expected. Nor was it how you solely intended for its very actions to not solidify your commands very nicely, either. That's exactly why you need to measure those very commands twice, or else those very actions (which became the dreary outcome beyond both your own expectations and how you never intended it to go the exact opposing opposite way you truly "not so wisely" measured it, the first time). All this isn't as solidifying or even unifying when you shed the costs of the simple mistakes that turn into even more dreary outcomes! Either ahead of time, or entirely beforehand. (Since sometimes the most basic mistakes of our very actions towards our very messy commands, shows we perceive the outcome ahead of time, instead of taking it easy once and a while to urge our decisions beforehand...just in case.) You need to make utter sure when (the next time comes around) too measure things twice...from NOW ON!

I heard you die twice,
once when they bury you in the grave
and the second time is the last time
that somebody mentions your name

I told you once.
I told you twice.
If I have to tell you again, I'm going to stop being nice.
It doesn't matter if you're black or white.
Gay or straight.
The longer you live, the more you realize love doesn't discriminate. And when this truth becomes real,
so does the truth that you are worthy of love and your heart can heal

it's your time to shine
this probably won't send shivers
down your spine but
i hope,
i hope,
it'll make you think twice
about life

Though there is no physical reciprocity
and there are permanent, long distances,
you are becoming inside in an unfamiliar way,
even living myself completely down...
Not too anxious for such paranormal states
since I learned the influences of your stirring...
I know you are just growing inside again
leaving all emptiness silently away...
Leaning on the wet grass dreaming of you,
the sky is spread over before my eyes;
resembling you as receiving me with open arms,
reflecting your hair - as dark as night...
Something was born within, profound and new
as I made my sublime wish beneath shooting stars;
a couple of hearts beating inside in tandem
and I live everything twice upon a life...

nobody gets the cancer twice.
(a blues guitar riff)
blood in the stool
ain’t nobody’s fool,
whent to high school
did not graduate,
but know it wasn’t no thing I ate
scale greets me friendly like,
long lost buddy from yesterday morn,
‘let get right down to it,
let’s see how much less of you borne
leftover alive from the prior day’
spirit spit blood from my gums,
got me a woman, she’s way over town,
woman said I’m brushing with
too hard a brush, alright, alright,
make no fuss, she’s good to me
nobody’s fool whent to school,
though I did not graduate,
a mean riff is better than a
slow moving woman blues cry,
got the strings to do my screaming
doctor is a fan, name is Jimmy,
played music like last time round,
Jimmy-jamming, dancing in the waiting room,
“that cancer got kick, it’s gonna get ya,
think I told ya that about hunner times before”
‘nobody gets the cancer twice,’
an old wives tale for unlucky po’ somofabitches,
do you some tests, tell ya the specifics,
right now, lay, lay down them new tracks,
no quitting time less the good lord comes a-calling’
blues guitar makes a man
cry shiver scream and shake,
progressions licks and tricks,
so you can’t tell what’s making
a grownup man cry and laugh louder
bring me my medicine
bring me my guitar
all I know is how it makes me feel,
oh baby once a night it’s true,
nobody gets the cancer twice

The sun makes me sneeze,
twice,
always.
Like Plato's prisoner I reach for the light
but I'm answered with closed eyes,
twice,
always.
Like Icarus I fly in my glory
only to fall to the unresting sea,
twice,
always.
I fall back on my seat,
a poet's seat,
and I write,
I write about the sun
and the cloud that just protected me
from the powerful influence on my nose.
I cry.
Funny thing, in English this word has two meanings
that not always go together.
I could wheep, I could shout,
but I just cry,
twice,
always.

Sullen woes are collected between
the instrumental vows that crave tears.
With each key that speaks beyond
the hearing of emotion.
We all listen deeply to the last cord,
played and realize
that there is more than us.
And within every reflection,
we see were all but systematic keys
being played
through life's chorus of finite moments.
And were never going to play the same cord twice.

You left me twice
You had your chance
Twice.
Thank you for that.
For the cavernous hole of rejection
The bursting of our illusion
The ripping down of future projection
I had imagined your departure (the second one) would cause a tidal wave of despair to drown me in tears
Yet no,
Three months on and I stand more than strong
I stand free
I stand more me
Thank you,
For the way in which you shouded me in self uncertainty
For this allowed the space for me to follow my dream
And living it now I am
Thank you for leaving (twice) past lover from distant lands

Try to make someone smile
Those smiles will stay for a while
Try to make someone cry
Those tears will utter a goodbye
Try to think twice
Before it costs you a price
