Externality Poems | Examples


Marred Connections

Freeloading
Taking what was given by someone else for something else

A gift with a tinge of obligation
Tacit codes

From the animal that is me
To the ungrateful optimizer
A love of expectation

Is it a kiss if it's unwilling
branded by tears
A hand outstretched that stretches less and less
Adjusting from a partner to an attribute
And back

Can I love as a shell
How to fill if not to receive
From self or others the mechanisms of the Other
I am only part of me
A shell can be built or blasted
But tis one part of the many

I cannot see what I must
But that doesnt stop many

A partner without action is not a partner, just an externality
To use is violent but it can meet needs
The pain of the prisoner's dilemma from the good friend
Petrifying comes with tears
And prayers of awakening
Such is the joy of coming back home
a field a landscape a state an air an aura a friend

The pain of pulling your hand away and the joy of accepting it back

Knowing something has changed and acknowledging it
The bravery of seeing it as marred by good memories

Distractions

Less action, more satisfaction. 
Deviate from the plan of action. 
Always, 
Looming, grooming my behavior.
Pleasure is my savior and that I might say, 
I favor. 

Over any of these things, Not my goals not my dreams.
The unconscious king. 

Drawing me in, again. A product of my sins, ruling me and my twin. 
Here we go again. 

Cursing at my duality. Anything but face reality. A slave to externality. 

And I didn't even notice, because I lost focus

Look at my rough externality
My coarse exterior scrapes
And can be felt to be irregular
As I enjoy the harsh landscapes
I have colors of black and gray
Nothing exciting I must say
I am the size of a basic marble
But not as smooth or symmetric
I can fit in the hands
Of a kids dirty palm
Perfect size to be thrown
In anger or as in play
I’m confident in my pride
As being a little stone
May you find me alluring
As a child already does

A Broken Heart

I can feel the heat burning my heart is aching.

My knees is shaking i can hear the grim ripper calling.

I'm trying to be strong but my heart is broken.

Can't get in the Christmas spirit this pain is breathe taking.

Why can't I stand tall tell me why can't I move on.

On the outside I remain strong I will always remain calm.

Even tho my father is gone i will live on my pride is too strong.

Can't walk the right path because the devil is pulling on my arms.

The heat is too strong I can feel my skin pealing off my body.

Look like I'm going to burn for all externality can anybody save me.

Can anybody hear me hear my scream help me escape from this dream.

I guess no one can save me now I'm just one with the heat.

Na I'm one with the streets but I'm not in too deep.

So it's not too late for me but I can't stop roaming  the streets.

And If i don't I know which destination is waiting for me.

Within the Shadows

Within the shadows, do
Lay a love that is pure
And true
Just waiting upon your
Command
To return this love
Giving so freely
And trusting
This shadow that hide
Itself into
Sets his heart aglow!
Till the end of time 
He wait..
For this  one true love
That wait..
His soul mate for life
Till externality  end
To give his  heart and
Soul with a love till 
The end of time..
Now his  shadow that lay
So patiently,
Yet, wanting,wishing,hoping!
While his heart  craving so
Eagerly as he wait
To feel his  arms around
Her,
Just to taste her ruby red
Lips,
Taste of sweet red wine  with
A hint of grape...
Lips soft and inviting for that
Long awaited kiss..
Their bodies shall  emerge
As one...
For that one true love...
That will set their  souls  feel
Free to roam..
To his one true love
Waiting so patiently...
