The Wake of the Darkest Hour In Dusk of the Lightest Eve

The darkest of time flavored by lightest of eve
The hour denies by the minute receive
We travel together... You and I
Forbidden we be made eye to eye
And too near is the closest past
We have answers but we ask
It is beauty that we knew were ugly
It does not take few... It takes many
I think I think what you think
But you don't dream what I dream to dream
I love to like and like to love
And I do hate yet hate to deserve
As all shall come to pass... all will become
Because we are forever ourselves we can never run
We do not hide to be left behind
We hide to once more redefine
And we serve without an inkling to servitude
One's worth to only be determined by attitude
Means to an end is an end to its means
Where you come from doesn't mean you have been
I seek distance to be drawn near
I am afraid and I do not fear
Endless possibilities impossibly possible
A matter of credibility to be incredibly credible
Skies the limit but the skies we do not own
We cannot fly without means... We should've known
I want to learn to unlearn if only to begin once more
It's just that simple... There is no reason for us to be here for
Alike all living things... We are unlike and we believe
The wake of the darkest hour in dusk of the lightest eve

Reset

I found my reset button
If I only knew I had it at all
One moment, one instant
My identity I am all for

Resetting back to comforts levelling
The so hard to deal with things becomes easy
That once adrenaline for trembling
Becomes ever so desirable to once more see

How did I live never realizing for so long?
Or perhaps I need that finality to find a reset
And to look back did I see how far I have gone
Have I a future furthering a past unmet?

It was years to be young once again
Yet with age doesn't mean I'm old without youth
It's to be old and content that's a shame
It's to be old without content that should seduce
 
When too much led to the discovery for
Those moments found to this one unique instant
If I only knew I had it at all
I found my one hidden reset button

Just a Thought

The night is questionable, perhaps I am
Why don't it all go away for tonight to stay?
I have exhausting hours without the end
I have words without a voice to say

Because I want to travel tonight
I want it all to go and come away somehow
I want to be the center of light
I want to be here for tomorrow's yesterday now

I need to be clear that I'm unclear
I need to see what my eyes wouldn't otherwise
I need to be younger than a peer
I need a concealable truth in an inconceivable lie

I want to be free when I'm bounded
I want to be sound amongst the impounded
I want to hear music without movie
I want to watch movies and never be
I want to love without feelings
I want to be full without eating
I want to taste without biting down
I want to enjoy silence with a sound
I want to say things without being heard
I want to know things and be a nerd
I want to let go by pulling strong
I want to be alive without being born
I want to think without thoughts
I don't want to commit but I want to be caught
I want to tell you yes when you say no
I am hot when I am freaking cold
I want to fall down when standing tall
I want to ignore my loving mother's phone call
I want to be upset when I'm genuinely happy
I want a dysfunctional, disloyal, disapproval memory
I want to be impeccable to screw everyone up
I want to be incapable to be brimming proud
I want to die in all manner of disgrace
I want to be distinguished as a man without taste
I want to tell the world that I exist
And for everyone to be like me... they can only wish

I just want to say
Why do you want to be what you can only be?
Do you think a correct path is okay?
Do you think an incorrect path is a fated story?

I'm questioning the night now... I am
Because its dusk in my dawning relay
I am exhausting a helpless mind to an end
If I forget tonight's tomorrow, can I remember tomorrow's yesterday now so as to forget tonight's tomorrow for tomorrow's yesterday.

One Lone

Do you want to be found if ever you be lost?
To be alone... an honest lone
When the world that you think you know is the cause
And the world that you're living without is home

All that you are becomes all you ever will be
An independence without a single dependency
When so much you know doesn't assemble a 'me'
When so much you know becomes a transparency

Can you cope without everything known too well?
Is there a survival reset for making a simple fire?
Without a watch... is time necessary to tell
Without a pillow... can dreams transpire?

You get to learn so much things... living
When even an app is a companion
We no longer appreciate life just breathing
Isn't every attachment alongside an eventual burden?

Have you a life lived to want to be lost?
To be honestly alone... one lone
When the world that you know is the cause
And the world that you're living is without home

A Thousand Silence

It was a thousand times that I’ve decided
Perhaps a thousand more to have meant it
Need a thousand more be required?
When a million remains a silent plead

There can be a thousand ways to have sex
Can there be a thousand ways to have an orgasm?
There can be a thousand ways to relax
Reality perhaps is a thousand realism

There can be ten ways to know a hundred more
Simply a hundred to one to know any difference
A billion without a million to live for
For that thousands to never have learnt

We who do not know pretending to know
We who do know as kept as silently to none
Did we not all have that one silent role?
From that thousand to know we don’t belong

Have I decided for that thousand time?
When a million represent a silent plead
Were it not a trillion left behind?
Can simply a one person meant it?

Chance Worth

Can I walk away for once?
To walk away from everything I've ever known
I want to give chance a chance
For that everything I've ever built that isn't a home

I do not want to travel to run away
I want an imagination that could change my life
Not that my life is so hard I couldn't stay
Just that my life is a becoming constant without drive

There simply isn't a new meaning anymore
Can I un-know all that I think that I know?
Everything is becoming increasingly difficult to adore
Is an aging life subjected to go with only the flow?

I grew myself everyday knowing lesser of me
To look pass years without an identity
I could've been a one identifiable to be
Or perhaps an every once can only ever be a memory

Can I ever walk away from everything I'll ever know?
Am I not already living an everyday to chance?
Am I a delusion mind with a body I only but borrow?
Or have I already walked away beyond chance...

Let Me Die

Shall I die... let me die...
Let me see what is not to see
Let me die... if I die...
Let me be what I cannot be

Hear the angels’ sing
Dance to demons’ lust
Seek the mighty dream
Fear the humans’ trust

Shall I live... let me live...
And to see what is only to see
Let me live... if I live...
Perhaps to be what I’ll be

Hear the humans’ outcry
Dance to splendors of war
Seek the almighty to defy
If we ourselves would fall

Shall I die... let me live
Let me see what I cannot be
Let me live to believe
Let me be what I cannot see

Two Worlds

Two Worlds

There are two worlds I live in
Side by side… living and breathing
One often seen whilst the other only seem
Do they see what I see deem believing?

I do see the conditions living the real
I do see my imagined world living amongst
I do see the conditioned living having to deal
And I do imagine to have everything and nothing to want

Nothing last like all living things
In my lifetime… I don’t think we are taught right
To be instilled with achievements and means
Life is nothing more but a being that might

To be one in a population… what is new?
To be no one in a population… do we shy?
Living in reality… what’s the given cue?
Living in dreams… will realities’ die?

I chose my own side of the world to live in
Living and breathing… imagining and dreaming
What only seem has become what I have seen
Because in my world, I see my dreams worth believing

I Want It Darker

There was a dim light
But I want it darker still
A fading… alike into ever night
Just so I wouldn’t see but feel

I draw comfort from that dark
To barely see… to only hear
The beating of one’s heart
To be afraid of and no more to fear

I let the dark envelop what I see
The last of light… I watch diminish
Did I feel what I cannot be?
My seen life… did I relish?

I wanted to go in deeper
And perhaps I did just that
I did not want to leave sooner
In an encompassing dark… I am glad

It was a fading into the night
But wasn’t dark enough still
Dimmer becomes the fading light
Just so to nevermore see, I’ll feel

Straying Into

Did I stray or am I suppose to walk into?
This one road that was led too far...
A path if perhaps was once so cool
To know if once more, who we are...

Do you regret walking down this road?
I must say I do not because I am today who I am
Maturing upon this questionable approach
I'm vastly becoming more then simply a new man

We all do things we needed to every time
And we never fail to never realize mistakes until...
We are lucky when aged if we even do find
What of an entire life to be ignorant to feel

I am not becoming better I know that now
I'm simply wiser to keep at bay
And it wasn't because I've ultimately found
It was because... I have strayed

My unknown path I'm walking into
I am uncovering as I dare stray along
A distant road walking as a wiser fool
I be the youngest oldie where the oldest youth belong
