Dazed Dreaming
How I hate the word passion.
Everything it is...
It's awful sting...

It is the source of our finest moments.
The joy.
The love.
The clarity of hatred.
The ecstacy of grief.

Sometimes it hurts more than you can bear.
If I,
If we,
Could live without passion,
Maybe then we'd know some kind of peace...

But then again..
Without passion
I'd be..
We'd be..
Hollow empty shells..
Vacant empty rooms..
Locked away with nothingness.
Dark and dank...


Without passion...
I'd be...
We'd be..
Truly dead....


But then again..
Maybe I already am..
Compelled tonight.

I’m alone.
In this dark room.
Gasping for air.
Eyes closed.
Tears bleeding.
Sadness screaming.
Soundless agony.
“The darker the night, the brighter the stars, the deeper the grief, the closer is God!” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Rust-hued sparks rise
from love fueled pain forge
into cloudless night,
merging with distant stars.

And my heart’s dreams follow
as white silky smoke.
Climbing ever higher
in search for eternal happiness.
Have dreams and embrace them. Even if they seem out of reach.

Ban this
Ban that
You can’t have this
You can’t have that
That’s offensive
That’s not right
This is why our world
Will end up in a fight
If you don’t like it
Turn it off
Don’t watch
Don’t listen
If you don’t like something
Don’t do it
Don’t eat it
What is wrong with people lately?
We all believe in something different
We all eat different food
Listen to different music
Like different things
Watch different tv or movies
Do different activities
Why can’t we all just enjoy our differences
Not ban things that others love
Ban this
Ban that
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
Let’s show some respect
As most of us will stay connect(ed)
Let’s face the facts
Bring kindness and love back

At her first touch,
the flesh scattered
into ethereal fragments,
unchaining an immortal soul.

Shoving, pushing, a high pitched row.
Nerves so tense, lids to blow.
What an insane nuthouse show.
Morning commutes are not healthy.
