Ourselves Poems

Testing Ourselves

Sometimes we stare
Into the eyes
Of oncoming cars
Merely for the thrill of it,

To pretend as they do in stories
That the good hero darts away
Just in time,
While the evil villain is crushed
Beneath the vehicle, blood on his lips.

We wait 
Until the last possible moment
Pulling back
To understand
Which role we play.

of the importance to be cleansed
from every defilement of sin
clearing the dirt through our spiritual lens

SURROUND OURSELVES WITH THOSE WHO FAN OUR FLAMES

Spiritual Visions

Spiritual visions are gifted not to just a select few
May the warm glow embrace us in calm sincere rapture
Allow not dogma guide us toward an elusive grand view
Or a truer and lusher emerald pasture

By grace, our inner sanctum ignites in a blaze
leaving all judgements behind to gather dust on the shelf
The experience serves to enlighten

Life, in its cruelest joke, gives us only enough time to discover ourselves

Life, in its cruelest joke, gives us only enough time to discover ourselves,
we toil through the years of uncertainty, forging identities like soul blacksmiths,
sharpening our talents, enduring betrayals and broken hearts,
reaching the peak of self-possession only to be ready to depart.
This is the irony of life, where maturity comes hand in hand with obsolescence,
wisdom, that

Ruins of the thirst for destiny, we consume ourselves in our own desire to be

Ruins of the thirst for destiny, we consume ourselves in our own desire to be,
Our weakness, the key to the historical future, has reduced us to nothingness,
Yet it also saved us, gifting us the taste of collapse, sweet and dizzying,
We yearn for an event that surpasses all events,
A fear that transcends all fears, embracing us

Lying to ourselves

I think i'm Bukowski

He thinks he's Hemingway

She thinks she's Nina Simone

after her third piano lesson

We all kinda suck, but that's alright, i hope

Time to Pile Ourselves into a Stone Wall

It is time for us to embrace our differences, enjoy each other’s cultures
A time to rejoice in the diversity God gave each of us to admire and revere
We need to gather together, teach each other our mantras and our songs
Tell our folk stories, our relative stories, our experience stories.
To pile ourselves into a stone wall,

The way we hide ourselves

The dresses of many a distant phase,
the casual attire of black and white,
the lumberjack shirts that were once, my craze.
The hoodies that hide me, both day and night,
the caps that shadow me from day’s sunlight.
The leather jacket for boldness of face,
the styles I’ve hid, for fear of losing face.
