What Are The Prerequisites Of Self Education

I burn the midnight air with questions,
Thin syllables crack like bones in the dark.
No teacher waits behind the door—
Only the echo of my own demand.

A hunger sharper than teeth,
A solitude that bruises the ribs,
The patience to swallow dust and ashes,
To peel silence back until it bleeds.

Books are stone fruits, bitter in the mouth,
I crush them with my tongue until they sweeten.
The mirror is merciless,
It asks me what I deserve to know.

Discipline is a blade I must learn to wield,
Loneliness a candle flickering on my desk.
I must dismantle myself to read myself,
Construct a cathedral of fragments.
Knowledge is marrow—devoured or lost.

To: Love

If I had to dedicate it
this one goes to love
the kind that says that knowing you
is simply enough
no prerequisites or mysterious what ifs
tryna get more than I got
when God gave me such a gift
I'm so grateful for the benefit of friendship
that friends with benefits always seem to miss and mess up
You don't need to dress up for me to see your special
if that is what it takes than I'm just blind and superficial
for real
that God made you
enough for me to praise Him
His workmanship amazing
and that would be the case even if your not my lady
been thinking of you lately, loving you like crazy
praying that you will take me
this heart's been risking breaking
that's a part of life
when you take a chance on maybe
maybe it works out
and I can see you daily
look into your eyes
and embrace all of your frailty
there's no way you'll fail me
too perfect for me lady
worth every second, breath and heartbeat God gave me.
I swear His still using you to save me.
Your what the fuel to my flames be.
I'm a canvas your the color in my painting.

A Celestial Trap

Got stuck in a celestial trap,
Found myself nowhere within the gap.
Fell only for the crap,
Driving me insane with this verbose map!

Poke my nose, pinch my ear,
Don't want to reach near those lusty deer. 
Pierced by your Cupid's arrow,
Never learned before how to kowtow.

Fun is never produced without wit,
A circle is never formed without subtle habit.
Satire is never programmed in my head, 
With the perfect being, it overflows without any deadly break!

Madness sounds so typical,
In these verses, I want to make us immortal.
I am always afraid of time's transient nature,
Except for this dreadful joy, I want to be versed in your memoir.

Elevations do not make this bond great, 
You and I are the prerequisites for this buttery bread.
Four in the morning, I am still thinking on my own,
Till another four, I hear the silence of sound sleep beneath my mind's gown.

As In Direct Experience

The ask is silence, let’s see what it takes
To hush the blush of senses five
On flow of turbid thought, to apply brakes
Yet keeping awareness alive
Sipping nectar from heart’s bliss hive

These prerequisites require surrender
Choosing to shift from head to heart
Throb of magnetism, silent bliss thunder
Ignites on adding love to cart
Enabled, no sooner we start

To become as such, we must choose to shift
It’s not a game of make belief
With focus held firm, that we do not drift
We willingly turn a new leaf
At last offering soul relief

Bliss enabled but we’re still in realm dual 
As yet enslaved by time and space 
Though cravings of ego no longer rule
And we have slowed down our life’s pace
We’ve yet to see God, face to face

A time does come when we see ego die
Simply stated, it falls away
It is then we see, earth life is a lie
Beholding Self, as clear as day
A vibrant, pulsating sun ray

How still is our silence, if we’ve not seen
Truth of who we really are
Light of a thousand suns, is our soul’s sheen
Here within, not somewhere afar
Aflame, like a luminous star

Can You Hear

DAYS LOST TO NIGHTS SUNSHINE TO THUNDER
AS IF THE PIRATE GODS RETURN TO PILLAGE 
HUMANITY FOR MISTAKES MADE TO FEED THEIR SAVAGE HUNGER
NO ESCAPE NO REPRIEVE NO NEGOTIATING JUST DEATH OF THE VILLAGE

WE CAN ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND PRAY WE ARE HEARD
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE GOT TOGETHER TO ENJOY THE BENEFIT
BUT TRULLY WE DIDNT DO THE WORK TO THINK WE DID IS ABSURD
MAYBE IF WE HAD SET AN EXAMPLE A SAVIOR WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ATTENTIVE BUT WE DIDNT FULFILL THE PREREQUISITES

TEARS OF THE LAND BLOOD OF THE SANDS 
PRAYERS OF THE SACRED HOLY LANDS
CAN YOU HEAR THEM NOW AS THEY SILENTLY HOWL
PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY US FOR THE ACTIONS OF ONLY MAN

The Unfeasible Expedition

The sheer maintenance of the probability,
Nothing is comparable to our garrulous mendacity.
Nothing can be called a consummate pattern,
Except for any tremendous aching, this life would only be a fallacious earn.

You are just an archetypal passer-by without any aim,
You want to play an unwarranted game.
Your loudest silence is another offence,
In this horrifying reality, you are nothing but an object of pretence.

I am only a creep,
Who cannot conclude anything by hearing a beep.
I am nothing but a remiss whisper,
Who always follows the astute pied pipers.

We are the prerequisites for the uncustomary laws,
You and I are awaiting the perfect pause.
To pause for the first time is to give us a promotion,
To resume our voice is just waiting for the untold damnation.

In my feathers, you will live long,
Throughout the flight to blessed hell, you want to sing an eerie song.
You want to reside in my flawless illusion,
This unfeasible expedition is nothing but a callous vision.

About Teaching

If one aspires, a worthy teacher to become

On two prerequisites, he has to persevere:

First, his teaching subject ought to know thoroughly. 

Second, knowledge, above all things, he should revere!

Monolinear

but a collection of slim syllables which became monolinear
to keep the vocabulary from becoming even skinnier

no matter what is written, experienced or elegantly lied
existence flows toward eternity for change will not be denied

trying not to get lost in depth of individual helplessness
prime numbers and beings stand entirely on their own prerequisites

denial that existence must be about each species improvement
would deeply flawed gods create humans simply for their own amusement?

where things choose to correspond to individual dependencies
hard to shed the burdens of our ancestors' habits and tendencies

written history becomes polluted, diluted, often obscured
all remembrance soon fades, despite how robust or heavily insured
human lives are molded by the severity of challenges endured

Seeking Healthcare Experience

I recently have heard
from a people of growing remorse,
Perhaps we should add to Presidential prerequisites
some prior experience in public service.

While this has always been a personal requirement,
I had not thought we would need a legal restriction,
where logical and moral imperatives are so blatantly transparent
and mutually compatible.

If you need heart and brain surgery
and have a list of candidates to choose from,
And you instead choose your dentist
because you are uncertain about those distant names
but you know how your dentist smells and tastes,
then we should be alarmed
if you also propose
to lead our way on health care planning
and Earth climate therapies,
insurance,
assurance,
compassionate reassurance,
especially when early drafts specifically disinvest
of dental care,
and inside 
and outside nutritional development
for public as extended family service.

Imbued With Hope

Perfection's reserved for God
we mortals must deal with less.
For beauty's more than you see
and lives in souls others bless.

Flattery fuels conceit
with its perfusion of lies.
For passion's prerequisites
aren't meant to recruit the wise.

Feelings of loneliness are
held hostage within the heart.
For reality is harsh
crushing dreams before they start.

But life is imbued with hope,
for every soul is a gem.
Who can see its true beauty
with only eyes to guide them?

When you believe in yourself,
pangs of crippling self-doubt cease.
And feeling confident, your
odds of finding love increase.

Unconditional Is the Nature of Love

Unconditional is the Nature of Love
 
Love means unconditionally to me 
It never means conditionality 
Never down your neighbor’s leg should you pee 
Never use its rain as excuse, you see 
 
Contentious relationships will decay
Don’t just love your neighbor, love him today
Keep heart and home open consistently
To benefit most from love’s harmony
 
Though one’s own Agape may be sloppy 
No cause to pee on another’s copy 
Just stay with self alone if love seems gone 
Unconditionally await love’s dawn 
 
Love never dies, or a child counts the cost 
When love is gone, it’s your child who is lost 
Unconditionally, expeditiously 
Agape returns conspicuously 
 
Prerequisites stifle heartfelt offers
Leaving you lonely with empty coffers
To know true love is our Lord’s greatest gift
Refuse to let squabbles cast hearts adrift

Amplitude

Glistening in you palm,
A simple shining blade.
Scalpel or a razor,
Sharp to spit my flesh,
To make me into you.

Shadows in your dreamscape,
And nightmares in my head.
We whisper lost prerequisites,
And sample broken fares,
But in the end, its on your head.

Contortion of reality,
Bound but not beheld.
Loathed through the fear of it,
And never brought to light,
Though a sunset is in your eyes.

Everything has ceased,
The silence is so loud.
A complaint of inadequacy,
Uttered for a charlatan,
Will the prophets listen?

Job Hunting

Such a yearning in my heart to find a one
No, find the one 
With the appropriate prerequisites
The right experience
The proper internships to complete my externship
The perfect applicant
Just right for the job
After many interviews and several orientations
I was able to convince myself you didn’t exist
Until…
That long conversation we had on that night off
I didn’t know what it was 
Maybe it was your voice
Or maybe your laugh
All I know- is that at that moment,
The idea of the perfect applicant,
No, employee, rushed back into my mind
You may possibly know this, but I’ve never told you
So I guess now is the best time
Your cosmic beauty and your angelic sound waves
Bring my black hole to the brink of bewilderment
You send my mind on expeditions to another galaxy
Yet, like the roots of the oak tree, you are so grounded
You know not how you have impacted my life
At times, you fill me with the vivacity that I thought I could only find in the fiction
paperbacks
I live in awe with you
And like I said, you may not know,
So simply put…
I’m feeling you
