I'd like to see the bullies
Ride a real bull;

For fractions of eight seconds
Their due time is paid in full....

The thoughts,
Outweigh the actions.
Broken down,
Becoming fractions
of what they are
But i must put on the facade,
Chancing being betrayed.
Dancing in a freak show...

Now a days, there are so many distractions,
And computers to figure our transactions!
It comes to mind,
We just may find,
Seven out of five people are bad at fractions!...

Gleaming Tones
on an unconquered
Sun.
Seeing myself
down the Demon hole.
Shimmering fractions
spun on a silver
coin.
And seeing the
reflections 
bounce off the
unwanted One....

Fractions have two numbers
 First the numerator
 Fret not it goes on top

 Find denominator
 Flip it underneath and 
 Figure the ratio
 Four verses under three!...

the heat outside
was humid but
the heat inside
was hotter

my marshmallows
softened as her
chocolate melted
our fire was cooking

with fractions
of friction we
smooched
and became

The small fractions of time that slips through the crevices of our lifes ---
Maybe they land upon some type of cosmic carpet? ---

Fractured


What are we to make of five over three improperly?
Ah, convert to one plus two over three, properly. 
Yes, but what now of one plus two over three?
‘Tis a most proper one over three of five you see.

Jagged edged peaks at dusk
     Rising God-like into misty billows
     Disappearing in fractions
     Reduced to memories.

     Just as light erases sight
     Emotions fall blind to loss
     
     Sunsets seem eternal
     When all love is lost...

Run
Just gonna run
run run run without looking back
Just wanna be far
far from fractions and abstraction
Just wanna breath in a way that only yes only a bit of it make a hurricane 
Just wanna feel the joy in the strength of standing up once again
Just wanna come back to my own world...

forever is not always so long
one day soon the end will come along
breaking your heart into fractions of a piece
the day you will find your release
not always wanted in such this way
your free at the end of the day
wanted or not someones way must be had
whether the girl is the breaker or the lad...

Life in Slow Motion

Life in slow motion
Is an odious potion
A bitter sweet pill
With a sting in its quill
When we watch our reactions
Broken down into fractions
We were obscured by distractions
and what passed us all bye
in the blink of an eye 
Was destined to Die
I hope you wished it goodbye...

As they slowly divide into fractions they crumble
Trying not to fall there's a chance you may stumble
As the Earth shakes & rumbles
I'm just trying to stay humble
Never forgetting my fumbles
Not believing their fables
Cutting the ties and turning the tables
Deflecting the lies
Find the truth through my eyes...

Closed my hand around a diamond
and all the beauty left 
Metal and flattened tree
paying to be free
safety making cowards of us all
Bounding universes in my mind
in just fractions of 
an unnamed time
Beauty is unrecognised by words
before eyes unblinking
that never wish to close
applaud
and as my hand now open
I now see only stone...

Display of Animals

The lion roars,other animals are doom
This divides antelopes into fractions
Confused Mole digs the ground to make a room
Many games had to hide without options
Monkeys gathered on trees with great sanctions
This makes the wild hyenas to be loyal
Tigers declare a feast which was royal.

Raised in a bed of flowers
Counting the minutes
Counting the hours

As demons devoured 
One second is all it took
From the cracks a rose flowered 

Wedded by passion 
The time kept ticking
He grew in frailed fractions

With a little limp as his only friend 
Out of the dirt. And out of the darkness 
But for the rose, darkness. Was not the end.....

In endless steps, I chased the line,
This path I tread, my halt in time.
Each stride I take, a half to go,
A journey bound by fractions solved.

Infinity in finite bounds,
Where motion stalls and thought grew large.
Achilles sprints, the tortoise leads,
My race defined by endless time.

Forever near, forever far,
Where reason left me, here I fall....

Blue ink imprints
On lighter blue lines
With the intent
Of telling no lies

Yet still cautious
Of revealing all truth
Things meant to miss
Feelings left to lose

Solely uncovering
A portion of the pain
With a habit of leaving
Fractions to remain

Out of compulsion
To never wholly share
Due to apprehension
Of being fully bare

i see your body in fractions
the image of a soft thigh
the imminent regress back into privacy
i sense you climbing off the bed
and moving into the bathroom
with the grace of a thousand moons
shining down on me and soothing my ails
whatever ails may be left to exhume
i nod off to sleep slowly and silently
in the warmth of comfort your life exudes

i am yours to elude...

Skyward turn my eyes and dream
The surface clouds,
Drifting in the blue,
Dispersing and reforming.
Amorphous by their nature,
The ether of emotions,
Summer white
Or thunder storming.

To you I tilt sequential,
Fractions and equations,
Priming of the heart,
Charging and imploring.
Skyward turn my eyes, and cry
Into the heavens,
My heart of hearts
For you is soaring....

Passion isn't a ration, just reaction
Its from the heart
It brings satisfaction, its complete, no fractions
You felt it from the start
No one can take it away, and you can't be swayed
Its just who you are
Others can say what they may
But this is your shining star
So display your soul, shine bright uncontrolled
Just be infinitely you
Unhindered, no surrender
Share your brilliant hue...
