With a loss
pain
will always come across.

I am not one to inflict
pain,
I see you have enough racing
through your veins.

With
pain
comes confusion
illusions.

One's mind
may find peace
in chaos.

Silence
of one's mind
may take off.

Leaves you
with reality
and pain
and everything else
from which you abstain.

Nothing else said.
Wipe
your used
soles
as to
avoid imperfection.
Beaten
until acceptable
once again,
never attractive
to
a stranger's eye
though.
Just
wipe
their soles
and continue.
Reason unknown;
they bring
a new mat
home.
I guess that's just how it is.

You are the sun;
you brighten my world
even if the skies are grey.
You affect
so much more than
you can understand.

You are the sea;
you are beautiful
even with sharks
in the water.
You hold
so much mystery.

You are a tree;
you stand tall
when others give.
You create
inspire
without moving an inch.

You are human;
you can control
what others can't.
You're cryptic
a puzzle
I'd like to solve.

The words you have preached
have been branded.
Make us ponder
learn.
And
as we look up
at you,
you don't realise
who we look up to.
Your spirit
has influenced ours
in ways unimaginable.
You are
what you have produced:
Respectful tots,
responsible minors,
rigid adults.
We spread your
inimitable wisdom,
so well-earned.
Forever in your debt,
forever you linger
forever appreciated
forever remembered.

Pathetic
drooling
savage
fools.
Inflicting
such cruelty upon themselves.
The impact left,
undoubtedly deserved
like the smouldering
fire
that eats and chars.

The warmth is nice
comforting, easing
but with ******* beings
there is no pleasing.
Feed the fire..
watch it grow..
admire the glow..
beautiful blaze..
it's too large..
Ignorant,
negligent.
So destructive,
it wants to ravage.
Smothered in heat and passion.
Burning
while you sit and watch,
inadvertently.
Pleading
while you play along,
phlegmatically.
Look at the scenery,
isn't it marvellous?
The beast comes out,
you become arguous.
There's no more beauty
in the flame,
the burns and scars
have ruined its name.
