Small, wet, and
Buried
Trying hard to remember
I am a seed
Buried is where I need
To be

wind shuffles
through the long grass

seeded heads
drowsy
in the percolating afternoon

broiled air
heavy and lethargic
laboriously ascends
its unseen ladder
into the barren sky

Arcady sings
from a place
of unimaginable height

the song
is a whisper
at the precipice

I am the wing
that awaits your breath
to take flight

she stands there,
wind through her hair,
dazed and unaware,
numb and hopeless,
a broken goddess.

she stands there
waiting for time
to fade her away
into the dark, cold night.

||             look at me!,      ||
i playfully scream,
                                    balancing at the edge
||     of the rusty rails     ||
used only by ghosts
of trains, and of
people

the cliff                                          
||       turns gravity        ||
to pull me closer,        
into a                                            hug
||    i've always wanted,     ||
like a good parent
after praising his son

the call twists my
                                brain
insides                 ­               
pulling me          
closer          
                             to the cliff,

and i wander,
and i wonder,
and i
||        s c r e a m      ||
and i wish
i could
cry.

||                          ||
the rails are
closing in,
i don't have
much time

to write what i say,
                        || and sa||y what i write
i wish someone
could love me
now.

|n|ow|,|
not even the
rails
want me,
i fall
into the void,
now,
i     di         ||e||                  ▫️
a piece of you will always stay in me
and i don't get a say in it
ya know the expression

"...a mile through broken glass to..."

Yeah im the guy who put it there

         (The glass mind you not the saying)

Its from all the ways learned how not to make a lightbulb

   The remnants of fractured dreams and a shattered constitution strewn ever so precariously to pave the way to success...

   So if you're coming with me, it would be wise to mind yur footing.
im so tired of reading bad poetry worn out cliches with rhymes that doesnt remotely match meters that just drop off out of nowhere leaving you wondering why it was written at all the me me me i i i you dont understand what ive been through as if Your the only one who has had trauma themes that do Not make A lick of sense whatsoever or the ones where how many times can you say the same **** thing over and over and over again its just too long then there's the hole misspelling of words where the Writer is either to frikken lazy to proof read or just trying to be and and i use this word loosely creative poor grammar with no punctuation or capitalisation leaving you out to figure what the hell is actually meant and let us not forget the egregious use of big words discombobulating the reader in an inefficacious attempt to impress and by the way shakespeare is dead so the thee thus thou shant be missed there are a few presumed outcomes of you reading this either a comment below detailing your egotistical outrage of what has been written with what i am sure is to be a riveting display of your distain with private conversations with others on the pompous *** who wrote it and how you gave him a piece of your mind and in what manner you told him or a passive aggressive poem written in a not so discreet manner in which you will feel better about yourself but all the while thinking you should have said more then there is the ones that in their im not like that attitude will refrain from any discussion on the matter so as to prove a point as what has been said will stick in their craw for quite some time for those who have continued reading i would like to thank you for your time and let it be known that this piece has been penned deliberately so as the aforementioned statements concerning poetry are actually in fact observations of my own written works as many of you know as writers we are our own worse critics and with that being said if a poem is to incite emotions then i do believe it has done just that
This one should ruffle a few feathers...
(think of it as a rant of righteous indignation)


   you'll have to pardon my pragmatism but the Bible teaches about two kinds of people, sinners and sinners who are saved.

   God never "said" I Love you and if you believe that Jesus was the son of God, died, rose again and through Him we have eternal life then the rest is up for conjecture.

i believe we are all poor examples of the gospel

                          prove me wrong

               "pride cometh before the fall"

   Yeah there's those who walk a tighter rope but the rest of us just hope the net doesn't break when we lose balance and collapse from the weight of our own worlds.

  Ever pondered the thought that Lucifer never asked to be here either?

   Speaking of, how bout those Fallen huh

And since we're on the subject of our humble beginnings...

It was a literal 6 days, how do i know?

"Adam was 120 years old when he begat Seth"

And don't even get me started on the flood.

If you cannot believe the first book then the next 65 are just bedtime stories.

     Here's one, how long have we been here?

                5783 years (give or take)

                             Want proof?

Read the Bible again, only focusing on chronologies,
Matthew 1:17 is a good start, you can pick your version, even king james had to rely on the Masoretic text.

(you'll have to read some of the Apocrypha to fill in the 400 year gap between testaments

How 'bout a stroll around the lake?
ya know, the place where Hell goes
(as if it wasn't bad enough)
  Now thump on that and bite your tongue if an interpreter isn't present.

See there's only 3 kinds of sin:
(why were we born into it?...epigenetics)

- The unforgivable.

-  The breaking of the 2 commandments.    
(Which Christ was so kind enough to reduce from 10)

- and the ones man has laid at humanities unwashed feet.

*here's just one example

"You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.”

(It was ritual bloodletting)
Yeah but thats old testament right?

   By the way did you know the word tattoo wasn't introduced into the Bible until 1914 AD.

Which leads me to this.

   "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so."

Read it again, did you notice?
That's a dangerous precedent.

   And stop with the "trials of Job" first world Christian privilege problems already.

Now if preachers preach and teachers teach then why are they still standing in the pulpit?

   And for all those propagating prosperity.
                      you have your reward.

   Now you can see a few of the reasons why i choose not to proselytise, why would i drag someone into a burning building?

  For all the newbies to the fold, if you have any questions, ask God, because nobody here seems to agree.

  And im gonna save myself the trouble of having to reply to any of those who's shadows have betrayed them.

you are angered.

but not with me.

go seek your peace.

And cast your stones elsewhere.
