A Question ...

With every new time it is a moment inside my mind 
I shall not fear my tears as they appear 
I will not close my eyes to what is so clear
Nor shall I live in lies as this brings cries 
I shall not hide my emotions that I have once disguised
I will not be a master in a world of disrespect

I am begging for a world that pleases 
I do not know if I can see this 
No tarot card can deny for what I think I find
As a tower may fall I shall not lay down on the floor
I will want for more and more as you open the door
Promises to unfocused dreams is a heart felt tease

There is no reality in this insanity
I can only hide inside my desires 
A turning point is coming fast
Will it all last a question to be asked
A loyalty thats is not heard 
Which I deserve in abundance

Can you not be what your wishes dream 
Do you hold deep in your thoughts
A life that holds no bars
Do you not want the closeness of heart
When does all you speak start
As I am hidden in the dark ....

Standing At a Metaphysical Crossroad

Standing at a metaphysical crossroad
Not knowing what is real
What is imagined
What never was or will be
Looking in the distance
Stars surround a glowing sun in a darkened sky
A rainbow spirals out of control
Spreading from mountain to river
Touching a hundred points of glass
It dances wildly
Never stopping 
Never wanting to be beautiful
Clouds creep along cracks in the dry earth
Never rising, never falling
Surrounding snow covered rocks and life
Dripping veins of the darkest light
Covered a veil of something not yet known
Silvery and liquid
It glows as light hits its flowing surface
Reflecting into waves of misty air
Spreading across the world
Moving on currents of cold
Heated by the fires of the past
Igniting the land before it
Not allowing anything to become too real
Waves of visual distortion
Twisting and bending whatever beauty there is
Not showing what was
Casting illusion of what may be
It must be asked
What is real?
Does the world really look like this?
Is physical reality true?
Does the world exist as remembered?
Does the world exist at all?
Is there a reality?
Is this reality a part of someone’s dream?
Or someone’s nightmare?

Sonnet 42

To thee that speaks to ears quiet of mine,
Speak softly with thy lips that I may see,
Thine thoughts in time that twirl to tell a sign,
Of all the world and what words mean to me.

So swift are silent storms so shy of sound,
Teasing my tears wherefore I can not hear.
So I assume, confusing what's around,
Not knowing what the world is saying clear.

Maybe one day a miracle will grow,
Allowing something deaf to hear a drum.
But yet I breathe and by my birth I know,
That sense of sound will shelter something numb.

To open ears that hear when thunder breaks,
I'll never know the sound that lightning makes.


Pantoum For Dr. Mehta

He was singing Wynette's "Stand by your man"
Bluebirds are busy feeding their young
The sun is taking a siesta behind a cloud
BowWow is portraying Like Mike on TV
An orphan needs a loving family today
BowWow is portraying Like Mike on TV
The world seems upside down tonight
An orphan needs a loving family today
The sun is taking a siesta behind a cloud
The world seems upside down tonight
He was singing Wynette's "Stand by your man"

Fandom Or Folly

What folly...

The world as we know it is no longer of life
The world as we know it expects life
They dream about their favorite books
and use them to replace their real-world strife

Thank the Twilight
Thank the Potter
For changing the sight
of every loving daughter

Nowadays the world of love has changed
to a world that was once deranged
From where love felt like magic
To where love must be magic

You have to laugh...

The amazing fad 
of the undying lad
that makes everyone wish they had that love
but sees what they have and turn away

Men and women want to feel like Bella and Edward
but instead they have to look in the mirror.

They're ruining their relationships because of a book

Written In a Strange Mood

What if the world was upside down,
The birds would crawl the sky
And the creatures would fly
on the ground?
What if the world was upside down,
...a blue abyss of empty
a roof of emerald and azure
over our heads?
What if the world was upside down,
If I jump will I keep falling
Will I fall on the solid glass
sky below me?


Sobriety

For years that is all he knew, his world was in a fog
Night after night, it was the same old song
Heavily clouded skies would never go away
Stumbling home, have to sleep with the dog
Just knowing, "They have it all wrong"
He knew that he would show them someday

Then every morning, took five hands to hold his coffee
He knew he was awake, his world began to shake
His other mind told him that he had done it again
Looked in the mirror, "My God, this can't be me"
"I can beat this thing, piece of cake"
"Got to hurry, the liquor store opens at ten"

First day out of rehab, "Home, are you sure this is the right address"
The yesterdays, did not even know how he got there
Remembering when he was drinking, that was when he could really drive
Now seeing the results, "Good God, what a mess"
Know he only got out of there by a prayer
Then his inner voice told him, "Damn wonder you are still alive"

Sleeping with his new mate, that he had known most of his life
The monsters are dead, now dreams instead of nightmares
No more insanity, now he can face reality
Rolled over in bed, smiled and kissed his new wife
They have all been answered, all of his prayers
Thanks you God, for this sobriety

This World We Have Created

This world we have created-
neatly sown earth ripe for the planting.

This world had been perfect-
silent creeks and boisterous waterfalls.

This land that was once Mother Nature's-
destroyed for some superfluous coffee shop
where liars and womanizers lay in wait.

These words from our mouths-
are a right given to us by "Law;"
are they not going to be spoken without such written privilege?

False worshippers-
i speak not of a religion, but of the followers.
hoping living in the shadow of their God is a ticket to life after death.

This world we have created-
it saddens me.

These lives we now lead-
frivolous and jocund.

Greed-
it runs our lives now.

Monetary value is the way the world earns its keep.

A higher being or a mere fraction off a fraction of a chance has given us this Earth.

Someone gave us a mold, and we said "To Hell with it!"

They won't even own up to the actions they've taken.

Neither will I.

A white sheep in a herd of white sheep.

Who am I to call out a mistake?

This world we have created-
it saddens me so; 
but if one should ask if i've taken affirmative action,
the answer shall be "No."

A Delusional Life

I'm a witness to the destruction of my own mind.
Far before this land, far before my time.
And as fast as i run this thought has me captured.
For of this world for others, i have not endeavored.

My body's a lost vessel for it has not touched reality,
since the dying days of my convoluted sanity.
And all around me spiritual natures unfold in time,
like flowers that seed and grow in the mind.

Yet in this world where i reside,
the flowers never grow, nor do they die.
And though reality will not echo my name in history.
In my mind i'm an explorer of the stars,
and i die when my mind meets my eyes.

Strenght

The tears are rolling down your check...
The storm is warbling in the sky...
The world seem so empty to you...
On you kneel you fall down and cry each night...
Your heart is broken into pieces...
You are forced to dust yourself up each day and smile
Like everything is alright...
But deep down you are falling apart and no one seem to care...
You try to speak but no one is listening...
You weep but your tears are sucked up inside your soul...
IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY...
NO MATTER HOW DARK DEEP AND DAMP THE WORLD MAY FEEL...
DON'T TEAR IT DOWN BECAUSE YOU WILL ONLY BE TEARING DOWN WHATS LEFT OF YOU...
IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT I KNOW BUT YOU CAN PULL THROUGH...
YOU DESERVE IT...
DON'T GIVE UP!!! JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF BECAUSE SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, SOME PLACE, SOMEONE
BELIEVES GREATLY IN YOU...
NO MATTER HOW BIG OR CRAZY THIS WORLD MIGHT SEEM....
YOU MATTER ALOT IN IT!!! WE ALL DO!!!

Beautiful Mind

People stero type him with names like,
moron, goofball, idiot, and crazy
They never realize that he is not slow
and his mind is far from lazy

Complicated, is more the way I see it
He has a million ideas to process,
Somewhere in the vastness of his mind,
thoughts become a disconnected mess

Most of the time his thinking is rational
During the presentation it will shatter
the thought process causes confusion
he can't comprehend what is the matter

People laugh, poke fun, distance themselves
They think he's always in a daze
Medication subdues him, doesn't change him,
it creates a certain protective haze

In this era I find it strange that,
people shy away from his affliction
It seems like they would much rather,
be around someone with a drug addiction

It's always been a controversial issue
At one time it was considered fine,
to do a lobotomy on a human brain,
as a means to control, customize, refine

How sad it is to be different,
when cruelty rears it's ugly head
He lives in a world he doesn't understand
So hard to interpret, what is being said

The "voices", keep him company,
when the world shuts him out
He's happy just to be himself,
that's all he has left to care about

If someday you meet him
remember to please be kind
He may be different from the norm
but to God, he has a beautiful mind

(feat Iosha Bruner) Lost

LOST IN THIS WORLD WIND OF LOVE AND LUST,


LACKING WHAT I SEEK MOST

IN WHICH WAS TRUST,


TRAPPED IN THIS WORLD WIND LEFT ALL BY MYSELF,


BEING SO YOUNG OTHERS BELIEVE I CANT MAKE IT,


ARE THEY RIGHT….

MY HEART AND SOUL SEEMS SO COLD,


FEELING LOST AND SO TORN….

IN A STORM BEYOND DESCRIPTION,


A WORLD WIND THAT CAME BACK AND FOURTH….

ONE MINUTE I WAS HURT ….

THE NEXT I WAS LOVED,


APOLOGISING EACH TIME FOR WHAT ITS DONE,


BUT IN EACH PASSING OF THE STORM LEFT ME….


WORRIED AND CONFUSED….

THINKING I HAVE FINALLY BEAT THE STROM….


BUT STILL I REMAINED LOST.

Dark-Light

The darkness
The smolder
The actions
The interests
It all lies down under the dark category 
But somehow
Something inside me
Dislikes the night
And prefers the morning
Prefers the light
Prefers the peace
The smoothness
But somehow 
A world with peace 
Is like a world with no life
I prefer the daylight
Rather than the gloomy outcome of night
I prefer the joy, the everyday actions of the day 
And dislike the scary creepy mood of atmosphere
At night
But somehow, I can’t explain it 
I live both worlds, and can never give up one of them 
Cuz they make each other possible 
Cuz I am who I want to be 
And I am both with no disguise

The Carne

Take a vile trip, so inhibitions slip
Let glass tip for a sanguine sip
When selfish gain is like cocaine
The world's an insane, twisted plane

Our lives are lies spent for blue skies
We feel torment from each surprise
No matter what our minds stay shut
It's all easy if life's a rut

Another breeds, another dies
Another seeds what could be wise
The world of noise silences the free
Hiding away whom we could envy

Red is running from wall to wall  
Man still disbelieves he could fall
Why must we all impede and stall
At this massive masquerade ball?

You can join with the rare who quit
And clean up the mess a little bit  
But the dancing floor holds much more
And entrants build your endless chore

So grab a drink to help you think
While madness teeters on the brink
We have strong rules to stay such fools
Despite the blood at our ankles pools

You aren't to blame for the world we know
It's not our fault change comes slow
So sit still, swallow another pill  
Hope for high ceilings in the ball we fill

Too Close

The moon is so close to earth.
I get to see the people of the world at their worst.
You better count your blessings while you can,
Because with a new day comes a new man.
The world throws us,
...Everyone knows us. 
And I'm just one girl.
I don't have all the answers for you.
