Would you believe me, If I said I was from the future, That I came back in time, Because my world ended? I didn't cherish my little earth, Because I figured it could never leave me, And then it did.

Scrapbook Poem #135
The world is going to end And we are all going to die Or, the world is not going to end And we are all going to die anyway In the meantime between the two All we can do is all that matters Love, live, keep climbing this mountain Until the birds stop migrating And they altogether stop singing Until the creatures disappear And we are left only with ourselves alone Until the sun stops rising And the warmth leaves for good Though the world will keep spinning (And we won't know why) (You'd think it'd stop spinning, At that point, Once it all goes to **** for us) But the world is going to end And we're all going to die So might as well keep on living All the same as before Fighting for every moment we can have For freedom from these cycles, these Cages where we are the birds No longer singing nor winging Or, the world is not going to end And we are all going to die anyway, Someday, But as the creatures still roam and We are not yet on our lonesome All we can do Is all that matters Love, live, keep climbing this **** mountain Until one day we are able To see the sun on the other side Once more

protoextinction
I don't think I spend too much?! But, then I spill out my stylish shoe Collection, an addiction, sorted by hue. Cupboards flung open to reveal the gradient of such And don't get me started on my collection of bags and the clutch! Rivers of life run deep, But, then I look at the contents of my journals; The cries of "now and not yet" reveal how hormonal Am I. Dim focus on the eternal creeps — To cover more of the heart, I try to keep. New year is near and nearer; But a return to stillness yearns. When we hide, these addictions burn, Igniting guilt, shame, anguish and all — Where are you, simplicity? Is this the fall?

New Year, Near!!!
i live in a world where self acceptance is a social crime where honesty is a joke i live in a world of blank stares and self gratification i can be a hundred different personalities and no one will bat an eyelid no one will even notice i live in a world where no where is safe where asking for safety is a sin i live in a world where no mistake can be erased or forgotten for everyone has an online record dictating if and when i can move on i live in a world where suicide becomes a necessity or a fun thing to do or a distraction i live in a world that is utterly *******

worldly issues
By the window, the lonely petals drifted, so did my mind. I dare not say I am virtuous. Experienced humiliation, I obtain humbleness. Live plainly, before lavishly. Life often contradict itself, look at death, therefore comprehending life.

“You don’t have a soul, but you are a soul and you have a body.” ​- C.S. Lewis So my sweet soul, a scintillating song Where golden stardust collides And flowers pulse through my veins The body, still as a stone How the being it becomes From the dust of our ancestors Built from the Earth, the beginning of time Who are we? I must ask When we saw the first speck of that bright light Pulled from the mother’s womb To a world of despair and destruction We are that gold, laced through the porcelain and glass Binding our broken world, we are that gold, I say Born perfect to an imperfect realm Good-hearted and kind, I know who I am now We are the souls of the land, cast down by a gracious hand For a short time, I will stay But one day, my body will become still once more And my soul will be again welcomed by my creator

Soul
She brings sadness and sorrow. Everything aspiring to bring her down. Nobody cared when she fought alone. She doesn't need to be remembered. She is willing to endure the pains, To be bound by the chains. For she doesn't cry, She just smiles and spreads her arms. She will protect all she loves. Willing to sacrifice for everyone. To her, fame is meaningless. Even if the battlefield is dyed with blood. Even if everyone is against her. She will exist because of tomorrow.

Worldly kingdoms emerge, rise and eventually fall but there's one kingdom that does outlast them all. It is eternal which means it has no beginning or end though most people in the world don't comprehend. It has been written and talked about in so many scriptures yet in the external world doesn't form part of any fixtures. No matter how grand a structure or building is erected that it may represent or how many people daily, under its roof for worship, they devoutly frequent. The kingdom of the everlasting Soul is to be found within us all and doesn't really have any roof, floor, pulpit or containing wall. Its own image and essence is all of a glorious Eternal Supreme Being that with Its own grace, knowledge, light and love one can be seeing. All we have to do is to acknowledge Its presence and look within, live our daily lives in accordance with the Truth which is Its Twin that the highest practical wisdom is based on known to mankind and has been handed down from ages past for humanity to bind. This doesn't mean that It belongs or is particular to just one religious belief but encompasses them all through which people seek to find worldly relief; because of Its glorious Eternal nature It also has unfathomable or infinite attributes and beyond the limited mind of man to comprehend though philosophy contributes. Even the laws of every country or state are based on the Truth; though due to age old corruption is hardly discerned from youth. As people have a strong tendency to seek and satisfy there own selfish interests that go against the universal principles inherent in the wisdom the Soul bequests. These universal principles are really the backbone of all spiritual aspiration that have to be adhered to if there's to be any further evolution or realisation, of mankind's true nature and individual or collective higher moral development which is a unified and holistic existence that by the Truth of the Soul is vent. ___________________________________________________________

Suicide
Death like all things Are a simple state Permanent in most But subtle in others Eternal peace must be achieved Before death can be final A life of wealth and luxury Can never find peace of mind Nor can a life of sorrow and misery Find balance in all things Life is a path in which to follow We must choose the right path Or we suffer eternal damnation Fighting amongst our brothers Spouting words of hate Will never bring one salvation Words of truth and love Hope with all things We attain everlasting peace For there has to be a balance Life must come with sorrow As it also comes with bliss Abandon all you don’t need And share upon those who don’t have Leave not in a state of anguish But in a state of calmness Shed the unnecessary And bring only love For when these things are at one We find ultimate truth Hidden in the mind For us to truly see

Eternal Peace
I like calm in my eyes, They don’t wander anymore, Searching for something , Picking and nitpicking , The small troubles of the world. I love the silence of the void, It hums me into its stillness, Takes me everywhere and nowhere, Places beyond these dimensions, Away from the all the chatter. I adorn the nothingness, It puts a blissful countenance, It fills my senses to contentment, I want it and yet it’s nothing I want, It sends me to the above and beyond. I feel this harmony within, Tugging and pulling my strings, Arranging the notes of my being, A harmony born out of chaos, And synchronised into a melody. My kindled life shining bright, I see everything in its wholesomeness, Untouched by the worldly elements, I embrace now that exists in nothing, This universe leads me to everything.

To be.
An enigmatic world that spins; Setting hands around the clock, Wearing down the wrinkled grins, An ark set sail to never dock. Wandering the tameless dark, Sifting facts from all delusion, Passing by without remark, The woeful tale of our seclusion. Until a streak of light from Heavens staff Tears dark asunder in the night, And thunder bellows a boisterous laugh, To startle calm who runs in fright. Until Cosmic fields of desolation Stand by in full reproach, Of long awaited consolation, To seed the change upon approach. For when moisture in the air hangs heavy From eastern winds of natures plow, And besieging waters breach the levee As day comes forth by times avow, Burdens will lift with morning's rise, Presenting with a mustered grace, After fallen tears dried the eyes, To wash out fears without a trace. The blue above, the bird that flies, Warmth from the sun in full embrace, The barrage of green as flora thrives, Leaves me proud to be of this Earthly place.

Time Makes Way
I was brought down by countless enemies, So, I faced empty caskets for charities. I was battered by tongues of thorns now I am in hiding, Running away from their storm of insults and flaws And I know they’re wrong with honest negativity. I was left alone to endure this catastrophe. Great. Now their words become my reality? My body becomes their masterpiece? I’m not their opinion meshed in a frame... I am my one and only fact. Stop playing me like a sick game! No, I don’t want to believe what they have say. But I  have to, if I want to survive another day.

You were born with having nothing, You will go with having nothing. Nothing is yours, Nothing was yours, Nothing will be yours. You are here only in TRANSIT.

Wordly Attachements
If ever there was a spirit divine, One force to rule all else, He has spoken; He has crowned his earthly queen. Her throne carved of stone And her face carved with courage, She bade the storm quiet And all the earth knew silence. A doe at her feet, and sparrow on her arm, Her Excellence sweeps away the troubles With a wave of her delicate pearl hand. Her eyes are hazel, burning to rival any ruby. With ears so small she hears but all. The queen, in comfortable solitude And Divinity.

Lust is one craving for your flesh and conquest. Love is one melding with your mind and body. Then, and only then, are you truly naked.

Lesson Learned #60
Society is not all bad sometime it to something positive by crushing dreams avoiding intellects and siege freedoms by giving cold shoulder to some fellows, by doing all wrongs yet some stubborn souls survive and later those fellows find the happiness in aromatic blend of nothingness and that so called society is still gloomy with everything

Society
This is a cry of a person dissatisfied the faint feeling of a blank stare stating: Here I look upon the world, to which I am dreadfully attached I regret to love it so much as I cling on harshly, gaping; it is full of distaste and resentment. I tried to see everything in it, I have lived and saw life without grace and sin devours envy controls hate and men die holding their pride and selfishness corrupted the soul. It is without a doubt that I - who swore to be free of the earth withheld of freedom and deemed memory a clean slate again.

Clean slate
I love you Three words that don't tell it how it is I more than love you I want you, Need you, Have you, Feel you, Miss you, Fear you, See you, Hear you, Kiss you, Adore you, Taste you, Breathe you, I more than love you I worship you As my friend As my lover As the ruler of my heart You are all good things Yet you're like no other I would kiss the ground Your feet have walked on Then I'd kiss them too Not to prove I'm worthy Just because I enjoy the sensations Of trying new things with you Time with you is a commodity Much easier to part with I spend it frivolously Purely for enjoyment We live for memories Sleep for dreams I sleep to wake up next to you One thing I always look forward to Is softly kissing your back From top to bottom Then bottom to top As though I am your wake up call Your human alarm clock *"Rise and shine gorgeous, it's already ten o'clock"* I want you to know You are priceless Beyond value Beyond worldly things Invaluable to my happiness And Detrimental to the pain I more than love you

I More Than Love You
If all you've ever wanted was material things and the perfect lover with the adorable personality who takes you on coffee shop dates and buys your happiness you are the problem with society If all you've ever wanted was money, money to buy that car, or to travel to that place, or to eat at that restaurant, then you, my friend, are not part of the truth Reality is that life is never what it seems and these materials will some day turn to dust along with you and I Don't let materialism be your vice

Materialism
Towers as high as I am when my fingers touch yours. The rush of people and mumbles of complete strangers talking to one another like rain talks to cement. The new eyes locking on mine, smiles with glowing teeth hiding behind pale skin. The lights, the cars, the noises, the new surroundings. It makes me think, why didn't I leave home sooner?
