first poetry
I am the united separately
I am the beginnings beginning of the end
I am the filled nothingness
I am the empty everything
I am the known stranger
I am the mysterious friend
I am the illuminated darkness
I am the shadowed light
I am the colorful colorless
I am the thought without substance
I am the unexisting existence
I am the unseeing window
I am the collected scattering
I am me.
See me as I am
Not what I will be
Living in the moment
That is fulfillment
Come and see
Come with me
To read poetry
Sing a song
Don’t be long
By the sea
Live by day
Sleep in hay
Can’t you see
Stay on ground
Fly around
Fun with me
We come home
With the tome
Read with me
Happiness forever
We’ll stray never
Just you and me.
You carry it with you from life to death
You give it and take it with every breath
Some give it freely
Others take it meekly
The greatest gift of all
Though it is small
Fills one fully
Even the unruly
With the flame
Who can blame
I give to thee
With no small fee
(unfinished)
given but never taken
found but never lost
the older it grows
the deeper it goes
something felt but not handled
given by hand and heart
taken by mind and body
I give to you
I ask what do you do
Take it and return it
Or cast it aside, let the fire burn it?
Ripped from the heart
All my happy thoughts
Float for all to see
What really makes up me
There in the air
White like a maiden fair
For there is nothing to compare
The most beautiful
Has it all to share
Innocence was lost when we first open our eyes
We watch as off it flies
Later we wonder what we lost
At what great cost
Being born to this reality
Will cost us in the end, you and me.
Searched for but never found
It comes full circle around
When least expected
It comes undetected
Sting worst than cyanide
Caress like a soft tear cried
Sweeps you off your feet
Makes you fell half asleep
Flying upon a cloud
Makes you want to yell aloud
I love you now
It will never run afoul
Running from responsibility
You will ruin your life
Running from responsibility
You will soon come to the knife
Running from responsibility
You will begin to flail
Running from responsibility
You only succeed in dropping your own veil
Running from responsibility
Life will catch up
Running from responsibility
Life will find you corrupt
Running from responsibility
Die dishonored in a heap
Running from responsibility
There you shall sleep
What you are I what I am not
What you think I am, I am not
What I appear to be, I am not
What is wrong with you, I am the reason
What you appear to be, you are not
Shed the lies and misconceptions
Shielded with misdirection
Feign, feign, within feign
A master if you may
I look but cannot find
Your true self hidden inside
It is that bad to destroy yourself?
Put your life up on that high, high shelf
Do you think it gains you wealth
Perhaps puts you in better health
Just go away
Your interest to me has ended this day.
Ties up by bonds innumerable
Some seen but so many hidden
Stretched a thousand ways
To all there you are ridden
Pulled one way
Then jerked the other
You pull all day
Then surrender and fall under
Gain a hold
And try to stay
Then a blow and you fold
You are forced away
Never in charge of who you are
Or how you run your life
They control you from afar
Never understanding your strife
My erratic thoughts:
Knowledge is water that fills but over time it erodes your most basic thoughts
Truth is just a polite lie
It is always lightest before the dark
Don’t look; discover
Choose what others don’t think about
The best of both sides is contradictory
Fun involves pain
Step outside your self to learn more about others
Even simplicity is complex
Do what is right, not what is expected
Work and play are opposites, those who think work is play are disturbed and those who think play is work should be shot
Those who love must first love themselves
Greatness is achieved through work but fun is achieved through goofing off
School is social skills at their best
Look for light in the darkness
Find your place and expound it
Do your best to achieve others worst
Love those u seek, seek those u love
Try to be insane, anything else is uncivilized
Run up the bill on life, there is always more
Life is a bitch, so suck it up
Do your worst, then blame the system
You lose yourself in drink
Drugs are for people that have not yet found adrenaline
Pez?
Find the right person for u, not the right payroll
Learn from history not from future past
Hicks are people too
