Understand

Who am I? Behind these words. Digits in a computer network. Scratches on a 
piece of paper. These words were never mine. They are torn from my mind. I 
don't now if they are mine. DO they reflect me or the reality that I am in, or are they 
just images that I have seen in passing. Are they who I am or more a foil to world 
outside. I create these words in my mind twisting until they are right. Yet they do 
not fit anything that I have seen or remember except for in my dreams. Yet, It feels 
like it is more going into my experiances. I write what comes to me, whether it 
makes sense or not, helps someone. For my opnion is even if I do not 
understand what I am writing someone else might.

Zip Zap

Zip Zap Zoom Zoop
I love these kind of words
their very presence makes me smile
A jump in my heart as these words come forth
as I see the words
splat and boom
gaw and he haw
little words
that have no real purpose but
to remind me that life
is suppose to be fun

Apples and Oranges

Apples and oranges,
Who would have thought that such unimportant things,
Can stir such a controversy,
Who know people are willing to argue over such simple things,
Well me of course, but I do not count,
I am the the one who says the sky is purple, or green depending on my mood,
That no one catches on makes me smile.
but people get into such arguements on their own with no prodding,
So I see my little deception has no significant diffrence except maybe to make 
people think,
Thinking is good,
but so few actually do it,
Spitting out drivel just because it was spoken before,
A long lost talent that sjould be ressurected and brought to the light.

Pi

Numbers,
pain, Pain on you. I hate you.
angles and weights.
As you curve around. Pi
I feel you strangle me. 
Trying to find the answer to your riddle.
i pound my head on the calculator.
e=mc^2
F=ma
Take your riddle and be gone.

Mood Ring

I sit here staring at a ring I bought today
A silly ring made of butterflies
It is to tell your mood
The colors are ever varying
but never seem to tell the truth
How can such a ring
be right when the colors say one thing
and my heart another
Which is the real feeling and which is the fake
Maybe I should just give it away

Mindless Chatter

chatter, chatter
my mind seizes with frustration
mindless sounds running through
Oh, shut up,
babble chatter
not even to me
I can not say be quiet
or go away
blather on
I know you
and yet I do not want to
Your saying you are going away
chatter
come on go
you are driving me insane
my mind goes numb
something about uggs
I want to scream for silence
mutter mumble
go away
leave me be
I just want to be left alone

He Is Dead

HE is dead
In some far off place
he died
I knew him for only a few seconds
yet I cry
He is dead
He had a house
He had a fiancee
He is dead
Stopped by a single bullet
He was here now
He is gone
I have no right to mourn
I barely knew him
A passing aquaintance
He died so far away
My brother called him Brother
He died so far away
Away from all he loved
He is dead 
And I did not know him

Ancient Eyes

Ancient eyes, full of cold wisdom,
Long forgotten are the joys,
That once lit up their lives,
Ancient eyes unseeing of the bright colors,
That once lit up the wonder in their soul.
Ancient eyes, so empty and alone.
broken in two.
No longer the avid pupil, but the world weary tutor,
Ancient eyes,
maybe you have seen too much?
Wisdom is wonderful,
but the very wings that gave you said wisdom,
You have plucked.
Their bright feathers scattered to the wind.
No longer do you feel the joy of something new.
Of the simple discovery,
of something you have not seen before.
Ancient eyes,
I weep for you.
Ancient eyes,
I pray for you.
May you remember where your wisdom grew.
Not in the responsibilities of an adult,
But more in the wonder of the child.
For they know they do not know it all.

Pen

How many letters have i written filled with meaningless emotion.
That none can understand and most time half-forgotten,
They seem like so many dreams that fall to short from glory,
That all I can say,
Is please do not read,
These words have no sense.
Their meaning has been lost in translation.
the sound of the horn is as clear as a bell.
But it music seems not to want to be written.
The confusion I feel flows to this paper.
Leaving heart and soul out,
Without even a whimper.
All is left is my mind which does not understand.
So I buried my pen in the shifting sand,
Buried it deep so none may find the torturious beast,
Within its innocent illusion.
The illusion that is torn away to reveal our pain.
So clear as a bell.
So I hide it away so no one can find it.
Yet it is still there waiting for me,
That horror.

Fairy Tails

In the time before my time, is a legend of a fairy princess in a tower waiting for 
her prince to come. There kings and queens. Holding court within there white 
washed walls, A time beyond somewhere far away, lives a little girl weaving 
stories around a simple wooden doll. Someplace faraway and long ago before 
we were ever born lives the place where magic still thrives somewhere beyond 
our imaginations.
