"So if a tree falls in the middle of the forest does it make a sound?"

If a tree falls in the middle of the forest and nobody's there to acknowledge that it made a sound then, by premise alone it didn't.

To acknowledge that there was a sound there must be somebody there to accept said fact.

So on those nights that I in the middle of my sleep have had dreams of pulling you in and instead holding a pillow, did I miss you?

Those times as I walked by our favorite spots with our music playing at the loudest on my earphones as I am secluded from the world, tears started to roll down from my eyes unconsciously, did I cry?

And those time that I stayed up all night wondering, staring at the moon if you're looking at it right now as I am, my heart breaks, but no one's there to hear it. Did it really break?

Because you weren't there to acknowledge the fact that I missed you. You were long removed from my life but I still count the seconds that you're not here.

That I cried you a sea of tears mixed with my own blood and sweat from all those times that all I wanted was a sniff of your hair, the warmth of your hands, the smoothness of you fingers as you drew circles on my chest. You might as well have ripped it open and took my heart out and trampled upon it like a door mat to a home you once visited but left in a hurry.

And lastly, I still am too busy walking on tip toes having my glass heart impale me, having a hard time to move on amidst the destruction and the chaos you have left behind you that I am left to pick after.


So with all that being said, were you even here at all?

If I didn't acknowledge the fact that you existed, that I once fell in love with you, that I spent countless hours counting your hair, remembering every groove of your face, the feel of your waist and the weight of your thigh every time you rest it on me, will that invalidate uour existence? Would that mean I never met you? Would you just go and disappear from my life, from my heart, from my memory?  Forever?

As I pass
Over and beyond you
I can feel the weight
of your envious eyes
Being lifted from me
As I pass
Over and beyond you
I can feel the weight
of your envious eyes
Being lifted from my shoulders
Why must you hate those who can fly?
Why must you hate me?
Your becoming smaller
As I ascend
Up this path towards myself
See you ******* later!

You've become a heretic
With every passing moment
As you search for the creator
You've become what's wrong-
With this world
And you will never find the path
The path to the saviour

Creating a god
From your own demons
Your consumed by uour own flame
Consumed by your own flame!
Return back to ashes
Return back to ashes
Return back to ashes!
I resent your ways!

My anger has gathered like a cloud
Ready to give birth to a new hell;
I'm no god of love!
You will be left astray,
To blindly-
Walk a path that cannot reach me
You will never reach me!

What opens your heart
Makes the mission imperfect
Giving up is not an option
What touches us or calls to us im the wind is a superb notion
We make it better by finding the words others that others choose not to seek out
My wish for you is that the muses surround you and uour words shine
As you all do.

DEATH AIN'T GOT NO
SENSE OF HUMOUR

Stopped at
a red light

when who should pull up
beside us but Death

driving a fancy
invisible car.

He is dressed in
the usual trope

cowl and scythe
how cliched can one get.

He just sits there in mid air
tapping a boney finger

on  a wheel I
can't see.

His scythe sits
in the passenger seat

looking like a tame
pterodactyl

smiling with neon
and moonlight.

He nods to me.
I nod to him.

"Hope you haven't
come for me!" I grin.

He shakes his skull
back and forth.

"Just practising...what's de matter
you ain't got no sense of humour?"

He points a long boney finger
at the green car jumping the lights.

"Holey Moley!" I holey moley to myself.
"If that car don't stop it's gonna crash into us!"

And into us
it does.

But before it does
time goes AWOL.

The moment stretches into infinity and
the next second lasts for ever.

I nonchalantly watch the green car
hurtling towards us for an eternity

and just wish it would
get on with it and be done.

Even the rain falling
stops in mid-ari.

A bird's flight freeze frames
above the stilled trees

despite the bluster
of the wind.

Then as if someone had
pressed a button

infinity snaps back
into the moment's reality.

The green car bites with a roar
into my side door.

I watch it buckle and
stop a centimetre from my thigh.

I go out like a light and
the world does a runner.

The darkness is so
thick solidifying around me.

And then the world shamefacedly
comes back to me.

"Wot's yer name..." a voice keeps
asking "do you know uour name?"

Over and annoyingly
over again.

"*******!" Death
curses.

"How in Heaven's name
did you get out of that!"

My voice forms a cloud
in the cold night air

like a cartoon
speech bubble.

This breath is the sweetest
I ever have breathed.

The joke's on Death.
Death ain't happy.

"What's the matter Mr. Death..."
I quip all cocky like.

"You ain't got no
sense of humour?"

We get messages
Fragments
Words that are with us like ghosts that haunt annually
The moment comes and you grasp it like
a spirit walking threw a wall in uour soul
Poets have muses
We are inspired by things others igniore or simply never notice
You only know what us on your mind
You have no inkling in the faith others have
It is written in the air

Apologized to the Tiger-colored feral cat crossing a path spooking her
Crows and pelicans  were having a call contest
You have to deal
Going with the flow doesn't suit everybody
It really isnt a one size fits all world even though some want it to be
You get comfortable in uour own skin
Fly as high as your wings and spirit can take you
Enjoy space and time trying to find out who you are
We spend so much time that we dont stop and smell the roses
Listen very carefully
Stop the world and embrace the quiet when you need to get off of it
Staying the same isn^t sane
It is just easier but life isnt about easier- simple process
Remember,it is a four letter word like sane
You can't even
