Desire and dreams,
lofty clouds casting distant shadows.
Momentary shades of calm,
convert to blinding flame.
-
Torpid question marks rearrange
exclamation points.
Hues of commas and periods,
vibrant adjectives and adverbs.
Grunts and growls of wildered existence.
Perpetual noise.
Such picturesque nonsense.
-
Belief of charging knights
and moonwalks
decay to disappointed waistlines
shaky hands,
confused with living.

What beautiful strangeness,
the prospect of becoming.
-
Do we chase the shadows or create our own;
flourish roots
with ardent fingers?
Imagine with ferocity
enriching curiosity?
-
Dig deep, my child, and know you're real.
Or don't
We are substance and shadow,
words of florescence.
Or won't
Disheartened by cruelty
unfamiliar reflections,
resigned to naked truth.
Or can't

Do we accept,
or will we refuse?
Inhaling why,
exhaling when.
-
Blooming breaths
Horizons anew
Warmth of sun,
serenity of shade.

She shines bright like a diamond in the dust
with dreamy silver droplets floating on her crust
A warm sense of serenity descends upon your shoulders
when you close your eyes to think of her.

She catwalks on the red carpet of the skies
and moonwalks her way into the foggy background
She hides behind the clouds and blushes
If you catch a glimpse, you'll never stop staring by.

When the world runs low on sunlight
She marches to all center of the sky
With a billion thousand platinum rhinestones alongside her
She sings a lullaby to the babies hypnotized by the dark night.

soulful scribe matt er fact - seeks solemn sanctuary

Despite always pledging
allegiance to the flag
academic performance traced, narrated,
graphed... unfavorable zigzag

vertical lined spikes across
x-axis and y-axis displayed
dramatically sharper increased crag
when promoted one grade to the next

how comprehension did lag
attributed to allocating, dag
gone nabbit budgeting, crafting... productive
time usage, plus an affirmative nod,

whereby yours truly did lallygag
evincing object lesson procrastination
study habits shucked off cuz mum did nag
obfuscation regarding illegible note taking
I moost definitely haint gonna brag.

Deplorable curriculum vitae
not hearty and hale
equals pathetic academic performance
now displeases me,

yours truly did wanna fail
no matter parents told me, I got smarts
severe psychological dissonance
affected this male

in retrospect,... a tell tale
sign everyday existence
arduous, horrendous, perilous...

lifelong struggle analogous to quail
caught between cross hairs
tis pointless foregone opportunities... assail
self pointless, hence no surprise
metaphor locked within jail.

Report cards highlighted
plethora weaknesses bred
teachers exhausted markers
especially black red
spent small fortune replacing
regarding this jughead,

who practically proved deficiencies
prevailed within his head
arising and undoubtedly stead
dully contributing living
antisocially he approximated
being gratefully dead.

Search for acceptance during harrow
wing during formative years absolute zero
earning michelin equivalent laughing stock,
where mummified pharaoh
each arose out sarcophagus (cue Thriller -
Michael Jackson), a hero

cash equalling cow Jackson 5 era
before disgraced pedofile,
now keeps company with Nero
roman around within underworld
plus disembodied spirit Clarence Darrow,
who scopes, karaokes,
moonwalks... with monkeys.

Sundry dead souls heave pens, gogol,
and trumpet like Donald duck,
their afterlife I envy mingling sui generis
versus yours truly down on his luck
dismal flying colors

analogous to mire and muck
no man iz an island, yours truly isthmus
squeezing thru narrow passing lane,
this ****** doth aimlessly truck
this late bloomer summoning forth
long suppressed pluck.

If I should die before you
Do not grieve, do not wail
Celebrate all I have seen
All I have been,
Legend
Myth
And Tale

Know the fortune I have felt
The world I have loved
Sing the songs while we dance
Where gypsies once dwelt
Awe the dreams I lived
The laughter and romance

Moonwalks and seascapes
Pyramids and bonfires,
Waking sunrise glow...
Cable Cars and strangers
Koalas and Debussy,
Children and early Snow

Kahlo and hugs
Surf and starlight divine
Pinwheels and first kisses fine
Tragedy, and heartbreak
Yours and mine

Blessed I was
To love and wonder
To walk and scream
To spin and fall
Be joyous with
My tears and thunder
Now, the time to dream
Has seized us all

To all who sing my song
Of happiness and sorrow
Kindness and love,
Loss and triumph
Will the ‘morrow,

This life gives
For ever and ever
Dread not my end
I lived it through
Comedy’s endeavor
Never to again pretend

Welcome the next
And cherish the now
Yesterday’s brilliance
Should today allow

If I should die before you
Know what I have felt
Feel what I have known
Take what I have left
Reap what I have sown

My mind cruised the seven seas of the university
Astro physical mystical see me a miracle
Born dead but still made a living giving sinning
Winning pinnacle from a speckle pending
Time to bring the real in guns is flashing
In a Wayne's fashion mad action subtraction
**** the world hit em like Billie Gates activate
The rap virus infect the masses glasses
I shattered brittle souls out of control my stroll
On a Chuck roll gangsta rock hard to block
Me out the view I'll cashew cuz I'm nutty buddy?
My skills like Ali dog to a collie Humpty Dumpty
The baddest cuties cold cut slim waste big *****
Thighs could even make a snail's **** rise
I'm out the chart my mind sets forth a spark
Attacks my instincts like a shark late night parks
From riding the comet of a flashlight shine might
Easily picking off the pieces of the wild cherries
wheres the rest of my sunshine behind
The gun line all I need is one pine weeds designed
The michaelango art effect birth the infants
Of the skies saw Cupid shooting arrows
Into the hearts of those who live in the dark
Darker than midnight demons takin height
To plight despite what's wrong or right
But I took the bid long ago exited the portal
Of the spiritual now I'm in a human formal experience
**** I wish I could escape the presence
Born for excellence but destiny was hesitant
To let me stake a chance caught in a glance
Moonwalks of dance romance my feet
It's so sweet like the streets vocals I sweep
