Misconception of Misery
It only started as a misconception, a misunderstanding
then like grass fed rain, it grew...grew into this
A eulogy, maybe this could be it
about you? For once, this is about me
How can it be...how can it be?
Dreaming, a dreamer am I
I've been dreaming since I was five
What...

Misconception
You see it’s complicated.
Just because his bones aren’t crumbling before your eyes,
And his organs are still vaguely breathing,
Well appear to be intact.
It must mean he’s fine, normal in fact.

Just because his skin isn’t blue and grey all over,
And his head isn’t spinning,
The voices still get...

Universal Misconception
If we accept our own definition
of the Universe as the sum of all,
we must abandon the supposition
that it’s inflating like a giant ball.

There is no doubt distant galaxies race
away from each other increasingly,
and, relative to each other in space,
their pace accelerates unceasingly.

In point of fact,...

Victim of Misconception
I act courteously around him;
dress lightly to enjoy summer breeze;
he sees my tongue licking my lips in the sun;
I gaze at him lazily, and sigh gently as the ocean breeze
blows my dress;
"she wants to make love", is all I read deep in his eyes.........

Love Misconception
In all honesty
I believe Love is actually blind
That she lost her road
And headed straight 
Into the mess, she lays in today
I hope we all find her, bathe her and clothe her
Cos she's really a mess right now...

Love used to be the gatekeeper
Between the legs of...

Love's Misconception
What is love to most?
A simple feeling
One may boast –
Nay!  I say –
There’s much more to Love –
More than what meets the eye
More than can be felt –
More than can be imagined –
Love is more often
A gross misconception!

Actions given from the heart –
Words can’t...

The Pill Misconception
The pill, they say, will heal all wounds.
Strike the light of dimming moons.
Ignite dead fire in soul’s desire.
Lift depression and take you higher.
Bring the crippled to their feet.
Bring the rain in drowning heat.
Have you cry in happiness.
Make you laugh, impossible bliss.

They pill, I say, will...

Sustainable Misconception On a Helix of Uncertainty
Is there anything on earth left unknown that does exist?
 
All people put together, in a conscious-fit.
 
Some serious questions must be placed.
 
Without our knowledge would we feel this pace?
 
Humans are a race, but I’m not racing.
 
I just sit and ponder, pacing...

MISCONCEPTION


Had to lie.
When asked,
 Said I worked at McDonalds
Fellow students 
Would never understand…
 …Care.
An art student
Living under the shade of the Empire State
Steps away 5th Avenue
Without a job?
Turned me into a snob from abroad
In their eyes.
Worst yet
I was an ambassador’s son,
What a Bum!
He feels no...

Dear Laura,
Do you know that night when you stayed with me?  
When we had time to reach for each other,
without the urgency of the clock?

That night-
I drank your breath
I held you while my passion swallowed yours
You thought I was inside you, oh no-
I pulled...

Where did all the good times go?
we use to be like twenty four
now we seem so disconnected
and you want to say my misconception.

Why do you keep telling your lies?
don't you see I finally realize
we're moving in two different directions
and you want to say my misconception.

I...

Your misconception of who I Am
Your misconception of what I Do
Shows you know me not at all-
I was once a good girl like you.
I didn't sit around as a child and contemplate that I would become a prostitute one day.
Although my memories are kind of...

Misconception
I admit that it was last summer I really envied everything about her
from her well-groomed head right down to her perfectly manicured feet,
Deep down inside I found myself wanting to be her
and I wanted her to be me.
She never had to worry about not having...

Hail to the thieves
that retrieve
lost trees. 

Hey! Where do you disappear?

Hail to the piercing taste of a pear. 

Hey! Why do you gaze at me so?

I don't need reality unless it's mine. 

Talk to me. 
Talk to me. 
Take...
