VERSE: ENACT LOVE

Hands held up to lift each other

To bring out the best

To encourage

To grow

Ever so slightly

Hands to help grow

To plant

To water

To sow

To reap

Fingers brush pass cheeks

A tear

A smear

Then smirk

Then laugh

Enact love to last

VERSE: DOPE LOVE MEDLEY

Hurry

Come hurry

Come

Against my brow

The instance I breathe and take in

And then, burst forth life through pain

Love, then in pastures

Come to play

A medley, a true tune

Played by me with Aesop’s violin

Hurry

Some hurry

Some

Little by little

The rain drops overflow

To flood the gardens

Filled with corn,

Filled with birth

That moans from Earth

To pass

To give life

To give death, rebirth

Hurry

Sun hurry

Sun

Quietly, silently, quietly

Growing from a distant line

To cover shadowed flaws

Hushed nights and removed bright stars

And rays that disguise the universe

For creatures like us

To feel invincible

VERSE: TO MY LOVE

Energy increasing from time

From the beginning to the last minute

The last minute before this is over

And again

Like an everlasting spring with your spirit appearing to me

Like a flower that first bloomed and still,

The pollen keeps fresh as the days for us grow older

But lasts

You now, even more beautiful

Awakening me

Since the first day I discovered you

And you, never ending

I still explore

I still find reasons to come back to you

To walk beside you and keep up

Your light is expansive

I want to be in it

Dance, sleep, wake in it

VERSE: Dusk Draws Near…

Written 11/9/2012

Impressions of you

Dusk draws near

Conjuring a spell

Symbolically the motion

is far too much to equate

while a river’s tide rises

Within my chest

Heart heavy, filled with

The pain of the rain there

That day

But still dusk draws near

Reminding

Motion pictures of memories

Flash as you left me

This chapter ends

The other begins

VERSE: Deep Deep Sigh

06/28/2019

The when

The how

And why

With all the tools we choose

We disappear in each other’s moods

Confessing this and that’s we like

Giving the act more fire

Take me

To need it now

To kneel and sow

Please don’t pull out

While I give this blessed energy

To you and survive

I thrust up, perfect fit

I swear I became breathless, even reckless

Thoughts towards sweet death

Pleasing me

Mounting you, my movements

Intensions to

Stir it up

Erupting

Too many to fathom

It is unfathomable

Blow a whole mind

You pleasure in committing this crime

No guilt because happiness grows there

I’ve never been here before

I never felt like this before

Loving you, continuously

Savory

You feast and devour

The entire time

VERSE: Part 2 – Breaking All The Rules

Crystalized breaths lasting

Producing precious gems everlasting

You know why you trick me

When you meet me

In this commanding room

Fulfill them, Love

Thrill them

Never lend them heaven

Heaven, Haven we believe is free

See them learn your heartbeats

Understanding explicitly

To articulate codes of distant dimensions

Entering portals

You access

To align

We the key

Yes, you and me

Forever breaking all the rules…

VERSE: Eternity Whisper

06/23/2019

I hold on,

hold out for you.

Escaped because you knew,

briefly, before me.

I awake fore,

waking enabled me to know you,

before you knew me to be possible.

Hope made space in you,

subconsciously, unconsciously.

You made a huge statement,

out aloud,

which I heard you distances away.

Never knowing the beacon

so strong steady as blissful beats,

rupturing a time-space continuum.

Placing us both before we could catch breath.

Yet now we breathe,

summoning vortexes to reach into each other,

visiting quietly each universe,

in hushed,

hushed tones.

VERSE: Sleep Walk

06/23/2019

Russian Doll box on display

How can I keep away

So sleep is a certainty

That is clear

Where from which I cannot hide

I do fear

Today. Tomorrow. This moment

I fix a brief internment

Walking within the confinement

Where sleep is a certainty

That is clear

Where from which I cannot hide

I do fear

Reality behind my lids inevitable

Wakeless slumber an eternity, certainly

Instead I lay in wake to be awoken

This curse has to be broken

This tragedy stalking

From which nightmares reside

This is clear

VERSE: Nirvana In A Day

06/26/2019

Awaken(ing)

An active approach to forsaken(ing)

To trap and reproach/obliterate(ing)

After over-satiation

To conquer one’s senses

expenses

Decalcify/third eye and wait

Debate with true self awaits

A flawless state

If perfect mirror perceptions

Lead to blind our paths

To overcome/master our own wrath

Discernment in disconnect(ing)

Constant comfort in deflect(ing)

Remnants of yourself to throw back

like wishes/no desire/to conspire

Develop tact

unless no desire leads to freedom

We cannot see them

VERSE: World VS Everyone

*Please feel free to make a comment, criticisms, suggestions or make your presence known. I was just inspired to write this, for everyone. We have moments in life whereas we cannot change things or that we don’t fit in. This world is a very big place to get lost in, at times. Hope this brings some comfort. * 06/20/2019

We say

We want to make our dreams come true

World says

You take what I give, follow this line

These signs that lead to a box

We say

Happiness is none of anyone’s business

We own the right through our birthright

World says

Your life is ours

You must believe you are everything else in the world but yourself

Be open they say, like a book

Be cautious and watch where you look

Watch how you talk and walk

Write and inspite of all the fences and barricades

Watch how you are perceived

While the world distracts and deceives

While creating deeper rabbit holes to conceive

Birthing depression and anxiety

The remedy is close at hand and head and heart

We can heal and gather answers

Deep within our own universe

Seek within
