Joy

The requiem becomes a whisper
Her greatest fear proven profound
The starving lips where poison kissed her
Still starve for all she never found

In life; a daughter and a sister
Now Joy is married to the ground
Her sunny childhood had missed her
It left no shadow and no sound

But as Joy's soul rebelled in fire,
In icy earth forever bound
Joys coffin quivered in desire
To be a part of joy that's higher
To resurrect the meaning prior
To Joy's first sight through human eyes

To prove there's something to admire
Within Joy's corpse, which never dies...

10 Districts of Reality

Dimension zero is divineIf God exists he’s here to find
Where all dimensions intertwine
To underlie sublime design

Dimension one is deemed a dot
Life’s starting point, existence’s plot
The joint of nothing and a lot
As emptiness becomes a thought

Dimension two morphs points to lines
Defining axis X and Y

A 3-D line becomes a tube
Circle to sphere, and square to cube
As mass and gravity combine 
In three-dimensional design

Dimension four will not ignore
Gaps between after and before
Boredom’s a whore and wait’s a crime
Therefore dimension four is time

Always ahead but yet behind
Time measures everything alive
Time resurrects dimension five
The fifth dimension is the mind
Dimension six is the “unknown”
Life’s questions thrive here on their own
“Why are we here?’ ‘Are we alone?”
The answers rein the 6-D throne

Seven dimensional is luck
That choice of when and where to stop
Choice is the taker-chance on top
As choice and luck retreat to ....

The eighth dimension is the soul
Here, space and time defy control
Two black holes mate, creating 8
Reincarnating the innate

The next dimension is cloud nine
The high that tries to mime divine
As all extremities combine
From highest high to deepest depth
Nine is the high of crystal meth
The ecstasy of life and breath

Too bad the tenth dimension’s death

It

IT CAME TO ME FROM DEPTHS OF NIGHT
TO BREAK ME, TO DESTROY MY MIND
TO SHATTER ALL HOPE I COULD FIND 
BEYOND ITS STRANGE, ADDICTIVE LIGHT
IT CAPTURED ME WITHOUT A FIGHT
TO CLAIM MY SANITY IT CAME
 IT GAVE MY WORLD A DIFFERENT NAME 
IT SCEWED ALL LIMITIS OF DELIGHT

IT CAME TO ME FROM DEPTHS OF NIGHT...
BUT NOW AS DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE NUMB,
AND NEON WINDOW STREAMS;
IT FADES LIKE MOONLIGHT  AND BECOMES
ANOTHER USELESS, FACELESS DREAM

IT LEFT MY SOUL WITHOUT A RIGHT 
TO EVER REACH ITS SAME EXTREME
NOW I'M LEFT SEARCHING TO REDEEM
DIMENSIONS LURKING IN BETWEEN
THE LIMITS OF MY REACH AND SIGHT.

High By the Pond

One sunset sitting by the pond
My thoughts expanded to beyond 
Like metaphors, pierced through the sky
To illustrate perception's lie

I swear; that day I was not high
(Though some may know: some people lie)
And in this "sober" frame of mind
There are alarming thoughts to find:

We were designed, then left behind
Reality is between
Just like our daily life's routine
The world is space's plaster sine
Its only time that intervenes
If were all brimming with desire
And veins of human's boil with fire
Then what controls the gasoline?
