"risktakers" poems
passing by the roadblocks of those utterly devoid of inspiration I grind my gears in frantic agony through artless days and pastel nites the last drops of forbidden nectar looms far back on the parody of my tongue and I asleep in the drivers seat...listening to the horrid sound my gear teeth clinched hard to placate the need by the promise of gold plated plastic ornamentation fulfilling  the impossible climb the austere instigator of forgotten melodies slides closed the gateway ahead in clear violation of the unwritten laws that govern all worthwhile endeavor now those gates wreak of cynical deviance nirvana open to all who seek to reach the peak so far beyond impossibility ...wide open by bane of fence.. no recompense for that gate with my tongue overhung from morose overdose in failed attempts of finding the trace of even the most scant memory now lies frozen in the throes of twisted convolutions while my nostrils fill with acrid smoke as gear teeth commence to melt suspended halfway up the impossible climb I am pushing hard the acceleration aided by the rigor mortis of my seizure asleep at the wheel with all wheels grinding while those below the uninspired guardians stare up in unimpressed confusion where fire and smoke screams of agony as the dream possessed begins to melt reaching critical mass of inevitability caught between the high mark of false sanction and a bottom of craggy rock distortion like a monsters teeth and open maw awaiting with patient disregard at the wheel the visionary sleeps amid symbolic ritualistic boundaries od'D on the wreckless need for heights not guaranteed but out on the windswept plains of wordless twists and rigid tongue the flaming mass shudders to that unrelenting silent rage of aberration then begins the tumble to the patient maw the message flashes through the sudden adrenaline flooded brain cells like the flashing signs of hiway construction last message passing by in bright flashing neon tomorrow will bring inspired risktakers who now know the starting pattern because I can say I made it beyond all odds where none before have gone by passing the dreaded roadblocks at the far end of human imagination. I od"D on the wreckless need for heights not guaranteed .

BEYOND the BOUNDARIES
passing by the roadblocks of those utterly devoid of inspiration I grind my gears in frantic agony through artless days and pastel nites the last drops of forbidden nectar looms far back on the parody of my tongue and I asleep in the drivers seat...listening to the horrid sound my gear teeth clinched hard to placate the need by the promise of gold plated plastic ornamentation fulfilling  the impossible climb the austere instigator of forgotten melodies slides closed the gateway ahead in clear violation of the unwritten laws that govern all worthwhile endeavor now those gates wreak of cynical deviance nirvana open to all who seek to reach the peak so far beyond impossibility ...wide open by bane of fence.. no recompense for that gate with my tongue overhung from morose overdose in failed attempts of finding the trace of even the most scant memory now lies frozen in the throes of twisted convolutions while my nostrils fill with acrid smoke as gear teeth commence to melt suspended halfway up the impossible climb I am pushing hard the acceleration aided by the rigor mortis of my seizure asleep at the wheel with all wheels grinding while those below the uninspired guardians stare up in unimpressed confusion where fire and smoke screams of agony as the dream possessed begins to melt reaching critical mass of inevitability caught between the high mark of false sanction and a bottom of craggy rock distortion like a monsters teeth and open maw awaiting with patient disregard at the wheel the visionary sleeps amid symbolic ritualistic boundaries od'D on the wreckless need for heights not guaranteed but out on the windswept plains of wordless twists and rigid tongue the flaming mass shudders to that unrelenting silent rage of aberration then begins the tumble to the patient maw the message flashes through the sudden adrenaline flooded brain cells like the flashing signs of hiway construction last message passing by in bright flashing neon tomorrow will bring inspired risktakers who now know the starting pattern because I can say I made it beyond all odds where none before have gone by passing the dreaded roadblocks at the far end of human imagination.

So I have this confliction, deep in my mind And the memories of us are all intertwined The words you say, everything feels so divine It's like an illusion, but I know the stars aren't aligned Yet I can't help but notice, my heart is racing I can't help but notice, how I wish I was looking into your eyes I can't help but notice, this immense feeling you surround me with But I also can't seem to forget. I can't forget the promises I can't forget the laughs I can't forget the way you held me I can't forget the way I got lost at the touch of your lips I can't forget the way you made me smile like no one else I can't forget how your voice calmed me down unlike any other I can't forget the late nights I can't forget the good times, but I also can't forget the bad I can't forget the times where tears would run down my face at thought of being alone again I can't forget the times I didn't feel I was good enough for you I can't forget the times I thought there was someone else I can't forget the times I worried about you when you were off getting faded But maybe I choose to remember. You were there, though In a dream In front of me It seemed like a mirage almost every time You grasped my hand and I felt whole You pulled me by the waist and I was lost in your embrace You kissed me and it felt like it was only us two You touched my soul, and my heart soared too And I know you aren't the best for me But lately I don't care because I've always been attracted to danger, as I'm sure you are aware But if there comes a day when I burden you at most, Please don't spare the truth, you know I hate that so And if you should feel the need to walk away, do so gently as I am fragile and afraid. I know I'm not that much, but I promise I'm worth it, you told me life is all about taking risks, right? Here's a risk, and I'm taking it. I put my heart on the line, You only tugged at the sleeves, Life is an ever repeating cycle and Love is a game we all play Hoping we can be together forever someday But forever and always is just a joke anyways.
