We all look to define ourselves 

Without need for others definitions.

The road, from dreams
Stations of definitions – 
And the side, it met us
About fruit, flowers, and genesis

Not the skies, neither depth, nor . . .
The quest? Conquer the man within!...

No longer myself

Definitions
Do change over time

I did not know 
Who I was 
Then

Now
I do

With the sadness that comes
When you learn of the death
Of an old friend

I will not waste my emotions
On your false and pre-conceived notions
You always demand definitions
And love with selfish conditions
You must first learn love yourself
Before you can love someone else...

Too many yesterdays
Gone and forgotten 
Like songs,
They played their last note
Names become definitions 
Places become landmarks
Time passes
Now, then, and was
All gathered by time
Collecting the days
No longer to be remembered...

Lines are drawn and measures made by different definitions   
Kilometers or miles or feet, or inches just to name a few
As long as the results the same, it really doesn't meter

Don’t lose me in the tide,
Follow me through the dust.
I will rock through heedless waves,
Nocturnally beseeching your dead grandparents.
Die on your new definitions,
Retain the baggage of flesh you’ve dragged
As your own identity.
Just don’t forget to soar like an eagle....

I am a liar. I act tough. I act like I don’t care.
But in reality, I suffer from every glass-eyed glare.
I am a lost cause. I act like I have promise.
But I still run for cover because my soul is an abyss.
I am a monster. I act like I am harmless.
But in reality, I’m a hysterical mess....

In a caricature of life and all its ambitions,

he licked his salted paws and went into the funhouse.

There, he found new definitions and parameters

in the concave and convex exaggerations.

Listen to poem:

Critical Creations
David J Walker

All of these eyes
These words
Surfacing for attention

Arriving in Wrhymes of 
twos and threes 
Arriving with bad baggage in
		Sixes and sevens 
but no intentions

The no knowing of certain
And uncertain 
Definitions

It’s the same for 
	Every beginning of
Critical creations...

sunrise for sale

a pinpoint of light

find your place in the stars

elliptical orbit

afar

new definitions

of the solar system

created

found

with a timeless search

astronomers and soothsayer

cry out

this distant body

given a letter

instead of a name

the ultimate seclusion

for an infinite price...

Family is defined by feelings
not just those of love.
A need stirs up inside
sent down from above.
The yearning to help, to comfort
to care for those in your family.
To be sure they will survive
And receive whatever they need.
Definitions, outsiders, nay-sayers,
whomever they may be
so not let them crush
your dreams of what you believe....

Copy…paste
Counterclockwise time.
And then slowly it all merged
to an old worn-out page.

I smile too little, I think, now a day
Learning a lot of difficult definitions, lately
Kind of a customized story
Yet a repetition of hundred times.

Boon is a divine word
Could not be compared to a curse.
Kindled and enlightened so
Don’t care about shadows....

My hope to your life
Your smile to my heart
My honor to your destiny
Your love to my happiness

Understanding through everything
Supporting above it all
Appreciating all the similarities
Respecting all the differences

Our many definitions of romance
Being described in the same manner
The words written in a lost page
The lost message of love...

We tend to get lost in words – 
definitions; often words being
stretched or contracted
in accordance with personal
beliefs and intentions--predilections....

Take Nationalism,
in a sense, not conducive to
world harmony – take Christianity,
belief and abidance in Christ

in a sense, a form of Nationalism

fall upon spirit...and not the sword

All impressions we ascribe as human is that within the scope of our perception of this universe's expressions is by degrees and modes of Yin and of Yang with balance imposed upon us, aside of us, and even at the expense of us, regardless of our collectively agreed upon ideals and especially our narrow definitions of a feminine and masculine imposed on men and women....

TOMORROW REARS YESTERDAY

When life challenges sway us aback
With horizons of tomorrow seem plague 
We seek answers that never come
While hope fleets us inwardly
And we grief motherly
Forgetting life’s worth definitions 
I open an album of memories instead 
To reprint the direction of the next step
Because challenges are the charcoals
That furnace my will of living.
