(Wind on the Mountain)

I stood on the mountain
I looked around to see
A world God gave us
Just for you and me

I felt the cold wind
blow from the north
Such a beautiful feeling
here on Gods great earth

Release your fears
and come with me
I’ll take you to a world
where we are free

Where eagles dare
way above the clouds
Where serenity takes hold
far away from the crowds

Where the rivers flow
and the wolves they run
you can reach to the sky
and touch the sun


The Lost Poet

There wasn't a method only a madness.
There was no serenity.
Only a sadness.

The stars will shine and the skies will cry.
Neither one cares for,
you or I.

The oceans will foam on the mouth of the wind.
While it whispers your name,
Now and again.

As supernovas go you were by far the brightest.
You needn't worry about that girl.
Not in the slightest.

This song isn't over and with you I'm not done.
For you are my moon.
And I was your sun.

The fireflies dance to your every whim.
Though unlike you.
They sometimes go dim.

This isn't goodnight and it isn't farewell.
Say it again.
Jamison Bell.

When the noise is deafening and just needs to be turned off
She reminds me of a bluer skies and her children
When people are beyond believing and you wish you could edit yourself out of the situation
She is calming and reminds me walking helps
It is the magic and serenity of turning off and tuning into beauty and tranquility
Seek it and finding it are worth the effort
Finding it?
I hope you find it and it finds you

The Saints keep pressed lips when speaking words.
Gypsy lovers crawl towards the feet of his might.
Watch the shackles shake the walls for the prisoner sees his face.
Not within the petals of a flower, but within the breaths of fire.
Within the last glance of prey's eye before the predator kills.
Not a power of cruelty but of vigilance.
Embrace the sweet lotus cradled by the parting waves of serenity.
Be he, he or she or it or I.
Blessed be a soul seeking love of the highest.
How indescribable it becomes.
Fear not where the lightening strikes but where it doesn't.
For truth is no more than lies.
The mountains of knowledge sought dull in comparison to a grain of enlightenment.
Be still in all that is sound and rotation.

Out of the darkness
of the shadow of my soul
a light came shining upon me
shining through of all living things
her nature's sweet caress

And as I gazed in the beauty
I could feel Mother's wings
wrap me in her serenity
feeling the touch of her gentle kiss
through winds that blew softly

I felt her soothing over me
like a child lost in time
in a place of long ago
where her love shelters me
like a sky that covers me
the brightness of her sunshine

Serenity found,
In a place of tall grasses,
Happily alive

Take me away
To that special place
From the everyday, crazy city pace

Up to the mountains
The sky is so blue
Blustering clouds
A beautiful hue

Not a sound can be heard
Except maybe a bird
The silence is peaceful, serenity abound
No human beings anywhere to be found
No words need to be spoken
In this place so unbroken

Take me there
To the sweet clean air
I don’t want to go back
To that crazy rat pack

Pain is.....
Pain is knowing that your feelings aren't returned.
Pain is your love blazing with fire until its burnt.
Pain is the emotion that not many will admit to.
Pain is feeling that can your whole being has been broken in two.

Fear is....
Fear is wondering when the end will come.
Fear is knowing there is more to be done
Fear is a nightmare with no way to wake up
Fear is the fantasy and the reality, thereof

Peace is....
Peace is serenity always at hand.
Peace is the harmony that could be throughout the land.
Peace is a slow, rhythmic beat dancing in the rain.
Peace is something we are yet to gain.

Sally would with the wall
Music so shrouded, a hat of compliance
The terror involved
A chance meeting with resolve, that stated intention...

My name is Carlton
Spate energies, and the vague way
A harping halt to better problems
Has saved me from a hateful demon, with it to say:

Choose me over any other, the collapse of vows
Has a futile throw of light, in the remark innuendo made
Salt and harmony, to fetch a liberty without how
Is a door on commonness, that has the shape of futures sate

Lemonade and dickory cookies
Shown the time of their life, a hallway to sigh
Scurrilous was a special man, with a plan, for a dreams ease
With the stone of fending remorse into a corner, of life...

Patiently, the day came to a close...
Proud Sally, or privileged Carlton
A wish adrift in the evening your, the scared host
Of another smile to win, the promise of a stoic question...

Hello, I have the world to sleep longer than me
Simply roles of victory, victimized by a lip of succor
Rhyming and doling the obvious, of a secret means
To an ending for serenity, that knows your craving for ours?

My fear is endless,
No place is safe.
Technology and supreme warfare is safety
But too much safety is dangerous
Everything is threatened at every single second
I feel it
I feel the tension
I feel the rubber band stretching thin
Don't break, please, don't break
I walk down the sidewalk of a campus that should be be safe but I feel endangered and exposed and I know that
Anyone could be watching
Anyone could be waiting
Anything could be looming about to pounce and tear serenity to pieces

I just want to feel safe again, not like even the tiniest move could **** me.

bound by the singing whispers that didn't hum
and silent transition into sobbing tears
smearing sibilant sadness on such serenity.

Pacific,like the ocean
motionless,serene,
I have seen the rise and fall of
one more day,when
time and time takes it away and
tomorrow,
will I be the thunderous,crashing stormy sea or
will I once more find in me
serenity?

As i'm nearing the end...I can't recall having done much good during my time here on earth, save for one thing....having loved you sincerely, whole-heartedly...at times selfishly....i could never express my feelings to you....for i was scared of the outcome...but deep in my soul....in that place where darkness and light meet...i have your image secured like a permanent tattoo...like a beautiful scar...like an everlasting thought...an immortal memory...a dangerous desire..an unfulfilled dream...often on those cold lonely nights i visit that forbidden place and just watch you...sometimes sleeping, sometimes smiling, sometimes bathing in the serenity of my troubled soul, sometimes looking at me with those compassionate eyes...sometimes you talk to me...often we tend to have these deep and meaningful conversations...i want to thank you for being a part of me...your words and ideas have constantly inspired me and i hope they continue to do so.

I've written this a thousand times
And I'd tell you more about it
There's a kind of serenity here
When the day ends
And darkness starts to set over the coloured sky
There's a kind of peace in darkness
And knowing that in the dark
We all look the same
But we don't feel the same

There are some long night and talks
On rooftops with wine and cold breeze
There are salty neck kisses and beer
Laughter and sand filled shoes
Stargazing in the trunk of your car, on a mountain top blankets and tears filling my eyes
When my heart was just not enough

There's a whole new world for me and you
When the world we know in daylight gets silent


Coffee at midnight and cigarettes
I say I've stopped a hundred times
But death is a reality, closer to me thank you think
My love

Red red wine
for attraction
And whiskey
for lonely tears

And there are sunrises;
Beautiful colors and the cold breath of the wind
Sending shivers through my bones
And let me tell you
Sunrises are beautiful
Because very few get to enjoy them
And when it's over
That's when my body asks me
To silently drift away
To make way for the better and stronger

I'm so at peace with what is about to happen that I might actually feel joy
Such strange emotions are brought about when the end is near
A sense of serenity even though things are about to get hectic
But it will all be over soon

I never thought we'd ever be together
And here we are living millenniums
Sharing dreams,hopes and fears
Painting our love on the canvas of the sky
Making the sun jealous with the bright light of our love
Making the moon envious of our serenity
Making the rainbow blush
Dancing with the constellations
Drinking tea in the cups of our love
Writing poetries on the November tree leaves
Exploring anatomy under the sheets
Being who we are
What we are....
Fearless,uninhibited,stupid freaks
Who don't care 'bout nothing
'Coz all we need is one another

I often contemplate
I weigh out the pros and cons
is it worth it?
The anguish,the pain
restless nights , Heavy thoughts
then again if it works
The tenderness,the joy
The peaceful nights ,the bliss
all up to me really
But I can't seem to understand what I have to do
Serenity seems like an impossible task and stability just seems like a myth
But I know I'm the captain it's my ship I'll go down with a smile and realize it was all worthwhile

We do crazy things to remind ourselves we're not insane.
Always a hit or a miss; Hoping this isn't in vain.
Done once, once twice; short stolen moments,
But why does it end up people looking for vents.

We do crazy things to forget we're alone.
Post here, tweet there, weird things you do with your mobile phone.
Always on the check just to see zero notification,
On your face, that same old blank expression.

We do crazy things to feel happiness.
While the ingenuity is a question of no less,
We immerse and enter the void more than we should,
Always in search, on the lookout for the truth.

We do crazy things to separate ourselves from what is false,
Lay bare, naked along our imagination's grand halls.
Being worshipped and worships, a god in the true sense of freedom,
Indeed, in those times, thy kingdom does come.

We do crazy things because we are crazy.
We pretend to be young, wild, and free.
But in reality, the only thing we would want to see,
Is some serenity, peace of mind, and clarity.

I sometimes have to remind myself
that I'm doing this for me,
I write all these words in the hopes
that I'll gain inner peace,
if it helps people along the way
that's just a benefit of being an artist.
At the end of the day
if I'm not any closer to serenity
I don't care what the whole world says
it's all been for nothing.

A glimpse in
Where matters are settled
Where emptiness as devil
Etches patterns
On my stone walls
A cave where light seldom reaches
A palate of distrust, hatred, blood
Inside it shines
In light of the seed
Of hope I cling desperately to
I bask in its heats release
Shy away from the dark
Though it permeates
Waiting for falter
I am drug under
The gasps and slights in breath
A shaky end, whitened blend of
The peace and serenity within
They end
Blackened attraction for finality
The action to silence
And extinguish all I see
All I am, me
When I glimpse in

When sorrow no more calls and sadness evaporates
The sun that lay silent shall once again rise
Time slows
Love grows
Solitude loses it's leaves
My heart believes

Imagination
Doesn't choke
on social contamination
It's wings unfurl and the inspired tone is resurrected
A smile
Then a laugh
A content vein of serenity lines a drunken revelry

The anger that consumed now just a conspiracy
A long drawn out preposterous theory
A monster has fallen
His defeat
It tasted sweet
And in the crisp lucid air
A soul begun to climb from despair

I was never mad.... never sad....til I look back.....and I see my life....now I feel proud that I'm not dead.....but curious of long I'm gonna hold on.... I Live for me, My dead brother, My unappreciated Mother, My desire for heaven....I would say I'm fine but I wonder....if I was the people that make me feel.... Confused..... would I care about Serenity......Maybe I wouldn't.....I know those that care will worry but trust me I'm strong..... because I'm still here.....the counselor's....The constant Therapy Sessions.....The psych ward visits, The friends, The Teachers, The churches, The Prayers, The Bible, The Fake Smiles, The Music, The Grief Camps, The Singing, The Dancing, .., .The Common Coping Tools..... Hasn't helped, Not saying I don't appreciate those Things....But what is the secret to hope and happiness.....Love? No tried that Support? Tried that too.....I Guess I'll never Know....I will continue to fight through the pain....My Tears.... I've been through so much....That I try to hurt over it....but It doesn't hurt anymore....but it stings....but soon I won't feel I won't be able to cry I'll just sigh and laugh because I'm use to the constant quick gunshots....just because you can't see my wounds doesn't mean I'm healed.... I'm just hoping....I think......

How many times have plans been carefully made
then drifted away when faced with the problems of
real life.
What good does it do to worry or fret it takes away from what I can do today.
When I watch the news I feel the blues
I can choose to limit my exposure to maintain a sense of serenity
I don’t need to plan every moment after all
I can choose to let go of some of the stress before I become a mess
I don’t have to continue setting myself up with such a hurried pace
It can be such a waste draining too much energy
I need to breathe and think
Talk to friends and reconnect with family that I have not talked with in awhile
Take time to laugh when something tickles my funny bone and smile
Take time to cry and grieve when I need to.
My Contentment can be found when giving up on previous plans
and taking things one day at a time and living in the present moment.
After all, I don't know what joys or sorrows tomorrow will bring.
I can choose to live life in the moment this day.

How I'd love to be the other end of each cigarette you've smoked,
Slowly burning myself out,
For your happiness,
Your pleasure,
Your relaxation,
Your serenity,
Your ease from tension,
Your escape from reality,
Your cooling sensation,
Your maintenance for sanity,

Darling, If you let me be your fix of nicotine, I only ask that once you are done with me, put me out gently.
