With sweet lips spewing lies
Of life's grand perfections;
Fictitious light placed inside
My 'ever vacant wandering eyes.

Id nod my head; shake their hand
While pretending I was joyous;
Laugh about and dance around
While we listened to the band.

With a wide smile upon my face
The photographer snapped a shot;
Eternalizing "lovely" depression, of which
Seeped into my soul and stole my grace.

I'm drowning in the screaming words
Of all the truths I've never shared;
They’ve become my grim lullabies
Forever sung by my inner songbirds.

Trying,
so very little,
but trying
to forget your face,
your taste.
Your tongue was ****
and a little of me-
sad-
between the eyes especially,
and
nothing feels the way it did with you.
Missing you hurts worse than breathing.
Like reaching over my shoulders
to feel a nonexistent warmth.
Chapped lips
whisper hot into cool air,
blocking my vision,
eternalizing the way you ****** my heart.

So when does it end
All the immobility
The lethargy
The sleep?

When do we
Wake up
And smell the balance?

When do we look
To light for peace
Instead of the darkness
Of closed eyes?

When will the
Sounds of silence
Be less comforting
Than the sounds
Of consciousness?

We have all been
Fooled into modesty
By commercializing beauty
And eternalizing life

We forget that
We only have
A limited time here

And those who understand
Yet remain in
A stasis

A dreaming mind

My life has always seemed and deemed to be,
Something that only peculiarity can perceive,
In depths of cynicism and the focal's sea.
Amid brilliance of any carcasses' pensive.

It has ends, yet begins anew;
With new chapters and fresh start fevers,
Severed with broken shards and dull hues.
To fulfill a worthy journey that doesn't last forever.

A mighty voyage filled with emotions,
Satisfying thirst for an adventurous soul.
Tormenting mediocrity along accretions,
Penchants seeking, making hearts crowl.

It is blissful yet melancholic,
In closets of several memories and faces.
It ends with punctuations with hearts stoic,
Along aspirations and things filled laces.

Punctuations! Ah the beauty,
Memoriam lest filled lackadaisically,
Forever harmonizes serenity,
In a personal mind eternalizing merrily.
Inspired by midnight thoughts.

don't know where it leads but I know where it starts -
I don't know where I'm going but I know far once I trust my heart
God, overcome my aggressions for they cloud my possessions
I give you my expectations - gone w the wind
I'm fully accepting
for all I ever wanted was to win big - not a trophy or a plaque just many grins and clap backs... & maybe just enough to give back
I can't do great if I'm heavy - so I'll unpack & let go of my struggles & envy
"never let them see you sweat" - I neglected the shine that brewed on my neck
eternalizing the disrespect

so whose pocket
does the universe fold up and fit into?

it could be yours,
if the music hits you at just the right moment
eternalizing the moment in which you were Ready...

you'll know because
a piece of that infinity will break off
and collide with your brain,
reminding you it's really yours--
no strings attached:

this is a steady stream of gravity,
winding through fields of Paradoxes,
rolling into a world...
where that's what they call

daisies.

i hesitate to face the music,
to me it seems locked up, strange
cold, exclusive, mocking

this can't be the one
that fits in my pocket...

but what's reaching me from across the rift,
over fields of Paradox-daisies
yes, up through the sewer drains!
and straight to my brain?

Aquarius, with her basket of water from Anywhere
taking me just a little closer with every drop
stretching the limit, the border, the shape
illusion soup

now the f- f- fold is ... easy

did i stutter?
answer that one til your savior comes with a sickle,
a novelty, or (dare i say it?)
an improvement.

and you were so sure it wasn't me.

an ineffable kernel belied your definition.
you are formlessness pulling on the fabric just so,
giving rise to form
drinking foreign waters
and not at all considering every possible dimension!
