2 questions of life
Is it possible to feel too much? Or is that living?
Perspective
“I don’t know. We only see life through our own eyes — our own realities. There’s no set way to live. No right answers. Just only what we as an individual can comprehend.”
“I know. I can’t stand it.”
“You don’t think it is liberating?”
“No. I find it terrifying.”
On What’s Next
I think you finally have your life together, once you realize that no one has completed their puzzle. Pieces will always be missing, but that just leaves room to grow.
The Waiting Game
The sand starts falling —
gradually — as if life
halted for a duck to cross
the street.
Whether it is inhaling
before walking down
the aisle, attempting
to stall your panic
at a hospital reception desk,
or sitting by the phone
for promotion or job oppurtunity,
the moment comes
and stutters —
taunts its victim
and spins them mercilessly
in a web of anticipation.
When time finally moves,
I hope you have the strength,
preperation, and determentation
to seize your goals by the reigns
and charge toward the sky.
6 Word Poem 3/14/15
Microscopes discover beauty, not encourage scrutiny.
On Locked Chests
Not everything can fit in a single description.
Some things have no mold.
It’s not good or bad. It’s life. It’s existence.
Far better it is to live with open arms, uncategorizing minds, and loving hearts;
for not every heart is loving.
Most are bitter, jealous, and full of pride.
To find balance and perspective would free the envious anchors that weigh down love.
Tangled
I want to go to that place
where love and lust are blurred
when our shadows are one
amidst the mosaic of soft ambers
and ochres of burning candles
ignited from our embrace.
It’s beautiful because it’s passion —
it’s honest because it’s untamed.
It’s lovely because it’s love.
Heliocentric
Step down from your steed
birthed from your self-worth
of self-acclaimed victories–
your popularity,
your riches in looks and money,
your average brain and mediocre
marriage — that you remain
completely unaware of a life
of freedom and peace —
too busy passing inaccurate
judgements upon others.
You must keep them beneath you
There is no right way
to live and breathe — so
long as you cause no harm
to any creature
existing on this earth.
You are not the center
of the universe — not everything
is revolved and relied on you.
Enjoy your life
bounded by ignorance and misery.
Bitter
I find it sad to admit
that some people don’t
want to see you succeed.
They’d rather be by your
side and laugh along with —
let’s be honest at —
you when you’re a mess
because they don’t believe
you to be a threat at all.
It’s rarer that you find
friends who support you
through triumphs and then
who aren’t just sucking up.
