I am in all directions
a multidimensional atmosphere
extending to infinity..........and beyond.

To know me is to know yourself
for we are one and the same

To hate me is to hate yourself
not that you do
but if you did
know we are connected
quite literally
bound in your subconscious
not that you would believe...

I am a waterfall in the desert.
A rain from a cloudless sky. 
A well known but unborn child. 
An insistence experience 
that you never had. 

I play mind games with your brain. 
When you strike the keys 
and remember the sea 
I come as indefinable...

I was in love with him,
Without any particular reason or logic behind,
Just pure love. I blame the chemistry and the pheromones. 
I don’t know what he felt about me, and I didn’t care about that.

He loved to play mind games...

Id and ego are in retreat
have not been able to defeat

The bliss seen in the morning sun
A smile seen by everyone

A life without someone here to hold
An emptiness that can't be told

It's faith that keeps your mind in check
Soldiers all believe, hearing "hit the deck"

People...

A simple mind of complex case
Flooding the train of thought
With emotions as old as time
Wondering if they are ever going to change.

A single feather that of a dove
Symbolizes everything pure
To a simple mind a complex case
To a complex mind a simple case.

A river of passion...

The rainbow’d mist of memory,
Tells fond lies to the mind,
diffusing bitter moments,
that are better viewed half blind.

Recall selects with prejudice,
weaves tangled webs of lies,
a Gordian knot of half-truths,
untried by focused eyes.

With time the dead are sacred,
blessed by passage of the years,
faults dissipate in retrospect,
like salt...

There were no gold medals to pin
and no starters gun to begin
but for sure we were out to win
               the Baptism of Fire Games.
There on the PCG we played
and so it...

God, how I hate (when I can't go to sleep),
HATE the feeling sleep never will come.
In moments like this, I wonder if my death
Might be a lover with real potential,
Though the possibility of soul being real
Could mean death too, is but a dream fantasy.
Daylight offers...

Always playing mind games 
games I didn’t play 
I would speak my mind straight 
misinterpret what I say 

you must think I deserve too 
live my life just to serve you 
I give to you get nothing back 
you’re comfortable living like that 

I gave...
