Late night thinking Unblinking and sinking Rethinking my choice of words It's absurd Everything is so blurred Fragments shifting through holes I take on all these roles What lost souls Late night thinking Tinkering with memories I need remedies These fragments slash through flesh Fresh wounds fester Exposing new memory holes Late night thinking Should I have said that Combat of my mind Memories become no mans land, blind Confined within the crevices of my mind I just want to unwind Let's leave all this behind Tomorrow, perhaps, you may find Some peace of mind.

Late night thinking
An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, usually a few months, years or decades or, at least, with the heyday of the movement defined within a number of years. Art movements were especially important in modern art, when each consecutive movement was considered as a new avant-garde; According to theories associated with modernism and the concept of postmodernism, art movements are especially important during the period of time corresponding to modern art. The period of time called "modern art" is posited to have changed approximately halfway through the 20th century and art made afterward is generally called contemporary art. Postmodernism in visual art begins and functions as a parallel to late modernism and refers to that period after the "modern" period called contemporary art. The postmodern period began  during late modernism, which is a contemporary continuation of modernism;             and according to some theorists postmodernism ended in the 21st century.       During the period of time corresponding to "modern art" each consecutive movement was often considered a new avant-garde. Also during the period of time referred to as        "modern art" each movement was seen corresponding   to a somewhat grandiose rethinking of all that came before it, concerning the visual arts. Generally there was a commonality of visual style linking the works and artists included in an art movement.                      Verbal expression and explanation of movements has come from the artists themselves, sometimes in the form of an art manifesto, and sometimes from art critics and others who may explain their understanding of the meaning of the new art then being produced; In the visual arts,                           many artists, theorists, art critics, art collectors,                                     art dealers and others mindful of the unbroken continuation of modernism and the continuation of modern art even into the contemporary era, ascribe to and welcome new philosophies of art as they appear. Postmodernist theorists posit that the idea of art movements are no longer as applicable,                    or no longer as discernible, as the notion of art movements had been before the postmodern era. There are many theorists however who doubt as to whether or not such an era was actually a fact; or just a passing fad. The term refers to tendencies in visual art, novel ideas and architecture, and sometimes literature. In music it is more common to speak about genres and styles instead. See also cultural movement, a term with a broader connotation. As the names of many art movements use the -ism suffix, for example cubism and futurism, they are sometimes referred to as isms

Unified Uniforms of Divided Unity
Waiting a long time, I can’t stop staring at the clock. Hearing it tick and tock. Building up excitement, for what seems like forever. Trying to occupy my mind, checking every moment. Thinking the time has come until finally it has. I check and its not what I want. I am disappointed in the moment. I pause rethinking what I heard, my eyes close. For once I feel pure disappointment.

Disappointment
Oh great Now I can multitask Playing the piano and rethinking All my stupid actions Oh how great Daydreaming even while playing piano Simply marvellous What a handy talent right? Who doesn't want it You get to practice And set the background music While you replay your nostalgic film Of how dumb your words have been How insensitive they were How over the top you have been A lovely talent For a lovely mind

My newfound skill
. I once was young on shores of pond, Deep in clump grasses mossy, longed By seasons that turned shining winds, Older than years etched into tree rings, I played at song in the rushes of marsh, Danced to moon from my bedroom loft And in the theaters of starlight shadow, Wrote my fables after sleeping narrows, Dreamed dreams as young boy should, Rethinking Sophocles in hemlock wood I named the flowers wildest within sun, Built forts from the forest floors of ruin, Burned in rashes of ivy, itching poison, Swam by water snakes in mucky unison Spring was tireless as nettles and bees, A wide river glided into the seven seas, Pond was lake and oceans uncharted, Skies rolling thunder after lightenings More gold than lots' aspirations prised, All showers flamed, Promethean fires.

I close my eyes. Feel your words inside my head. Whispering carefully they say the sweetest things, on my thoughts they do tread. I feel the beat of your heart, it pushes from beneath my skin. Oh. My. Lord. My saviour. I cannot withstand this heat from within. I feel no breath to breathe from, no more. No ending, no beginning of my hand to your lips; from where the waves meet the shore. Tender music is made and formed from the shell of my ear. No-one will believe the symphony I hear. I crave the touch of your fingers. Thought I should let you know. You lie with me, myself and I. I am addicted to the very idea of you. You became my labyrinth, my torso, my rabbit hole. I tied you in a knot around my neck and left you there to hang. And he held my head in his hands, looked at me and told me that he was at home. He took my eyes from the world and gave me a universe to see. It’s a miracle. I was blind, now I can see. Take my breath and I am still free, to breathe. Where does the time go when I am laid in your arms? I could be here forever and never know the sunshine, the air, the rain or the wind. No night will seem so dark. I watch you talk to me, and I am lost in your words. I forget myself. I forgive myself. We conquered the world that night. We made new revelations with our silence, and killed the silence with the laughter. Oh my god the morning after. La la laaaa la. Sorry do I cry tears right now. Do I look at you and make my vow? Phe-nom-ne-nom. I sing along to you in my head. Reliving our moments. Rethinking what you said. Jefferson Airplane never said it so well. Woodstock was where this moment was born. I cut off my locks, I was reborn. Samson was not I. Running round walls I never thought were there, catching the moment before it was lost in the air. I listen to music before I never knew how to exist. To love, to cry, to believe, to fly; I was kissed. Traipsing my hand across your back, I listen to you. I try to hear what you’re saying. But all I can hear is myself. I revel in my wealth. I was lost, I was lost, I was lost. And , man, it feels so **** good.

Sitting in the bar just drinking Tired of waiting for someone who will never come My brain going overdrive rethinking I will never reach an outcome Throwing my glass at the wall Remembering how it feels to be small Thinking of where I went wrong Drowning all of my sorrows and mistakes Why do I have to be so fake Looking back and remembering how it feels to have a real smile Always acting as if I am on trial But I can not I am too scared Everything in my fantasy Just sitting by myself drinking Hennessy

The night will **** us Days haunt Coffin open What more could slaves want The waters will lead us Wade wade As the songs say Drug my feet I swung Tiptoed over oak Couldn't catch ground The runaway They've found John told Annabelle Who whispered truths to Sally Shovel heavy Hand Pouring sand over Covering man Coffin open How often slaves taunt Spoke To an essence Molded from clay Adam told Eve Gardens where all should have stayed Haulted Feet fell to earth Simply rethinking life Death births I swung Couldn't catch ground Tiptoed over oak Wade wade Rivers flowed To heavens gates Waited till sun down Till the soul escaped

Jet Lag
Rethinking your curiosity. You really shouldn’t have inquired Your craving for exploration satisfied, You’ll get what you thought you desired. No promises that it will fulfill your expectations, or grant insight to my motivations. The sensations will be overwhelming, you’ll yield to stimulation. At first it’s exhilarating, emotions climbing to peak, just wait 'til you see the drop beneath. You’re afraid. I was too. Now the fear pulls you through. Cliffs and valleys, highs and lows, Have you begun to wonder when this ride slows? Oh; I apologize, I should have warned, you can’t walk away from this place; this time or this space. You can attempt to gather your things and go, most don’t survive whole. If they find the way out they leave battered and bruised, ego sore, something torn. Now you find yourself tangled. The buckle won’t release, you’ll struggle and squirm, but you’ll soon come terms. I’m half strangled right beside you, you didn’t know ‘til you wanted to. See, “I’ve been in here for years. I decided to enjoy the ride. I promise it can only get better over time. Think of it as the bite of the whiskey with the sour of the lime. You’ll be drunk soon enough... I know I am.”

Did you hear what that old man was thinking? Morphic resonance is the experimental name, I think we are served by nodes on a net not spread in the sight of any bird, a chthonic net of stone, girdling the globe in granite, crystalline granite, take it for granted, these boulders are the witnesses, the scars of catastrophe, causing us to wonder how came this to be? Think Yosemite, Ansel Adams POV Think Matterhorn und Mt.Blanc, Old Rockytop, and Dos Cabezas and Long Valley Mountain, all that granite, old as earth. Listen. Time is the idea we share at the moment, Earth's is the life we share at the same time. This is Spaceship Earth, looping Sol as Sol loops Sirius, and there is no mothership, no resupply. This is the only earth, it has survived several civilized monstrosities. As you know, some mortals can't imagine not surviving with it, so we words of earthbound muse, let slip the bands of pride in time to see, we are the music, we make beauty behave as will believes, voluntarily, it seems, we choose beauty with little de liberation, no need to unlock ledgers and boxes of known safe knowns, we imagine ourselves defying the de-ified con instituted authorities warning, given us, they swear by the very vicars of the oil: We warn you… hell's the price, they swear, that we, the people, pay for heresy, dare not think those- no, no, nor hear and see, or never imagine thinking a selfish thought, one you find curiously comforting, for you, your idea, but stop… one heresy breeds another, soon we shall have a collective of individual minds agreeing at once, as all see a particular arranging of colors, in a sunset's single effortless existence as a thing with mortal mindable beauty, did you belive the sunset, or may you, if you wish? __ unravel, and re ravel to save the thread, it has lead through the maze before, I have a witness who tests ifies. Great unquarried granite, but that forms another story upon precepts as yet unglued, un-coagulated, ah, curdled, precepts cultural curdle and clump together. Biomes are adjusting the rethinking of pathos, ethos shall follow, as night follows day, just wait. Patience is formed from memes more than experience, you bet the old man was not lying. Slow and steady, wins the grace. Take it easy. Fade away…

Great unquarried granite, but that forms another story upon precepts as yet unglued, un-coagulated, ah, curdled, precepts cultural curdle and clump together. Biomes are adjusting the rethinking of pathos, ethos shall follow, as night follows day, just wait. Patience is formed from memes more than experience, you bet the old man was not lying. Slow and steady, wins the grace. Take it easy. Fade away…

what do u think the purpose of life is I don't mean like humanity's purpose as a whole. just like the purpose of one persons individual life I think the purpose of life is just to be happy and even in like 4th grade ppl would like ask "what's the purpose of life" and have these intense conversations and I didn't understand what the question was bc it was pretty obvious to me that you were just supposed to be happy and everything that we do is just a step in reaching eventual happiness but now I'm rethinking that and I don't think the goal is EVENTUAL happiness but rather perpetual happiness why should I suffer now? I mean like love is a **** thing that hurts like hell but ppl go through it bc they hope that it'll make them really happy for the rest of their life but I've been realizing lately that while love is the answer to happiness, that love is not at all necessarily for another person but rather love for your own life and the world in general this sounds totally fake and cheesy but like I realized the other day this is the first time in like 3 years that I've been without a girlfriend and I'm having to regain my independence and love for the little things in my life like my friends and good food and literally just the thought of taking a walk before the sun comes up and skype calls with ppl who I really enjoy with my window open and the lights off and forgetting that it's not summer and not having to tell someone "I'll brb I have to go eat dinner I'm sorry I'm so sorry I'll be back soon" and falling asleep whenever I want and waking up without wanting to throw up it makes you realize "what the **** was I doing" and then another part of you answers the question. "being in love, ******* "forgetting to love yourself" "thinking, someone else will love me. I don't have to love myself" I don't know what I thought a relationship was supposed to be before now but it was so wrong that was toxic, and I am so much better off loving myself than loving her

rethinking gravity
. I once was young on shores of pond, Deep in clump grasses mossy, longed By seasons that turned shining winds, Older than years etched into tree rings, I played at song in the rushes of marsh, Danced to moon from my bedroom loft And in the theaters of starlight shadow, Wrote my fables after sleeping narrows, Dreamed dreams as young boy should, Rethinking Sophocles in hemlock wood I named the flowers wildest within sun, Built forts from the forest floors of ruin, Burned in rashes of ivy, itching poison, Swam by water snakes in mucky unison Spring was tireless as nettles and bees, A wide river glided into the seven seas, Pond was lake and oceans uncharted, Skies rolling thunder after lightenings More gold than lots' aspirations prised, All showers flamed, Promethean fires.

rethinking
It's been a little while since I decided since I started telling everyone who asked since I posted it in every corner since I declared my major. But what if I don't want to be a teacher? What if I go off to college, and I suddenly have the courage to do what I didn't want to do before? I'm afraid that it won't work afraid I can't make it work afraid to let go and fall because what if it falls through? All I want to do is music, and yes, I'm minoring in music and honestly I could be a teacher but I'm rethinking that. I know I don't have to go with the career that matches my major, and that I could finish out a teacher's license and then go on to music. But I could be so much more prepared! There's so much more I could do if I majored in Songwriting, Music Performance, or Worship Ministries. What should I do? What can I do? I can take generic classes now, ones that can count for any major, and choose later. But how long can I wait? I'll just have to be patient and wait for His guidance because He knows what I should do.

Existential Crisis »not a poem«
Her hands were small, pruned, looked clammy, very cold perhaps with purple seeping up through her tiny nails. She twisted the ring on her left third finger round and round, deftly, as if she had been doing it for years. The small diamond awoke in the dim light, like a beady eye from a dark forest. What she rethinking everything? She looked up suddenly, pulled hard on the brake cord yelling "Stop!" and flew out into the night the second the bus came to a pause.

The Woman on the Bus
Sorry, I'm not here right now. My head is clear in the clouds Rethinking how I hear all the sounds Letting the beat pound, pound me down into the ground 6 feet under. Sand turning to diamonds from the heat of my soul. Buried in addiction, hopefully my seeds will grow. All this pain can I use it? Man **** this life, lets make some music.

6 Feet Under
Set me on fire Insanity is what ran through me Intensity plunging into me Breathing is not wheezing but coming easily Tingling reawakening Space vacating me I’m a vortex of for ever waiting Playing on words, hoping to be heard Spinning on this earth that is worth… Nothing? Something? Maybe Say to me the words that send guilt Through sensations I have yet to word Liking is a fighting, loving is despising Wanting to be curious, how could I not with the words of his Blister me with sincerity Sending burning regret through every vain Every way, in each new light I fight and twist new perspective To yell at me, to say to me everything is all right And believe its true. That me and you collided for some kind of real Reeling going wild My heart beats with the laughter of a child Happiness is your contagious energy I take it in and let it live in me Your sweet scenic imagery Watercolor paintings reflecting back at me Beauty is something new and founding Whirl pool of commonalities Blasphemies of morals and value But I cant help how my happiness swells How you a smile into me Chilling water not nearly as refreshing Retesting, rethinking my boundaries Seeing new towers, higher mountains and walls Longer tunnels and halls To walk, climb and crawl How far the journey to a wanting place To a unsure space in any case I hope your happy That my presence is half as enchanting Because your words they leave me panting How can I not, with no words forgot? Blister me with guilt’s hot iron Set me on fire. Or should we not? I forgot the binding power of A forever real friend ship Set my ship on fire And drown all hopes and desires

I have been swindled! They took my bags at check-in but never gave me a room key Now I'm back home mailing packages to myself And writing a negative review of that place to put a blemish on their record Back to headquarters This it your last chance I will not allow myself to get hoodwinked on this deal This is an open letter Dear Ocean Foam Resort, When I stayed at your place of rest and relaxation the first time it wasn't that bad. I mean, the neighbors we're louder than anything. And the people above me aired out their ***** laundry on the balcony every morning while i was trying to drink my coffee. I recall hearing the wife confessing that she was cheating on her husband with a co-worker to her mother over the phone. I can also recount two God awful parents I saw by the pool, they let their children scream and run around disturbing the other guests. Actually they let the run around so much and I guess never fed them, because one of them got light headed and passed out into the deep end of the pool. One of your staff members had to save her because the parents we're bust sun bathing. Then there was the man below me, he wasn't a bad person. Far from it but he had to be the most unfortunately hideous people I've ever seen. He had skin tags on his eye lids, warts on his neck, boils on his legs and arms. Then there was the constant disturbances coming from the late teen- early twenty-something year old guests. They were on what seemed like a two week drinking binge. Blasting music all night, having too many people come to their room and having all night long ****** The head pounding music, the worrisome benders and the moaning that went on until the early morning was too much for me. I'm saying this as a guest who has been to your resort for the past seventeen years every year, the first chance you get tear down your place of business because it has become a rat hole where no one should go or ever be near. Now you've stolen my luggage and refused to give it back to me and you have refused to let me stay in your resort. But I'm happy about that after rethinking it, keep the luggage and go **** yourself. So, Ocean Foam Resort enjoy falling apart and going out of business. Sincerely, Ron Dempsacot
