The Coastal Epiphany

Subliminal cries
In the forest winds
Coexisting ever greenly
On a mild brim
Where rain becomes softly apparent

Ah, Here comes the sun
Barely bursting through clouds
Onto the ground
Spreading to the sound
Of nature’s royalty

And then golden skies formally open
From such long distances
Mountains rise in unison
Growing epically uplifting
Smiling with such stellar intuition

Oh, The Ocean
Currents pacifically dreaming south
In a state of rebirth
Of self, Of love
And for all everything is worth

Oh, Out West
This gallant dream
Can it come alive?
Or will weariness erupt
Out of the ashes
Of solitaries ring of fire?

It’s all about desire
Trying to make a modest voice strong
Making this destiny worthwhile
In the essence
Of a new found journey

And with this heart I say
Fly away all is safe
No worries
Free yourself from this oppression
So your very soul
Can rise with you

And here I say
Then this world
Will never be ever so distant
As I travel upon a brand new day

Ridding Bad Rubbish

With these healing hands
I shall rub across your beauty’s serendipity
As this energy of mine
Shoots right into your veins

What can I say?
Just a modest man
Will never lie
But is that what you want?

With these newly enriched eyes
I look into your soul
Comforting every insecurity
With the essence of my heart

Feeling your pain
Feeling your everything
Yet, Is that enough?
Or do you need me to be insensitive?

Share all joys and laughs with me
I can be silly

And if just smiling is all you need
I will do my best
To make you as happy as can be

Do you notice me?
Seems at first glance
You gave me the time of day
Till, Well I have no idea
What did I even do?

Dream with me
I want the whole world for you
I know it’s not good enough
What am I suppose to do?

Perhaps the Narcissist over there
Can make you happy
Or sad really
Since that is what
You have always wanted to be

Well goodbye
No hard feelings

I will leave now
And let you learn
The lessons of love

Yet, I highly doubt
You will ever learn

Oh, And Hollywood is fake
As is your space aged high expectations

Goodbye for good

By the way
I am very happy, Thank you

Empty Arms in the Night's Colden Grip

Ignore me
With your metaphoric hiss
Forsaken by your silent lips
Broken up, Shattered by loneliness’s
Cold dreary labyrinth
By the night’s empty heart

Stuck wondering
Upon wanting dreams
False hope how it screams
Misunderstood, Hey, That is me
In a maelstrom this heart begging to be freed

Alienation from the Planet scarce
Barren arms, Soul so stark
More and more hope dispels
Into the depths of quantum malice

Into the daze
I cling onto fear
It helps me comfort
These false hopes

Into the grace
I cling onto hope
It helps me comfort
This confusing daze

Hybrid emotions
Concur prancing lights
Also covered by darkness’s
Cries of salvation

Ignored, So what is new?
Wondering what I did
Or did not do?

Cries of Love's Octave Reign

Crying through
The shards of time
Looking for the many reasons
Why rejection dwindles me in

Oh, How they say
It was never my fault
Yet, I can only blame myself
When they left me with such haste

Never did they give reason
Of why our love died
Not that I had many loves
Most just seemed to end that way

Being let go
Is the worst of pain
Especially when reasons
Rather pertain to nothingness

So I ask and ask
Why do I fail with love?
Does it even love me?

Oh, As the twilight comes
These arms embrace emptiness
Dead in a restless mourn
In the death of a silent weep

Now I scream within
What am I suppose to do?
If love does not love me
Then why does it love those who hate?

Also, Why does it love those
Who always take it for granted as well?

So confusing it is
As it makes this mind travel too fast
In a warp speed
Where soon it will slow

Yet, Now suddenly here comes change
I know my love will soon be real
Tears of joy
Instead of pain

Making an imprint
In our own personal loving tune
Where our heart shaped notes fly
Crying through Love’s Poetic Rhapsody

All living in happily ever harmony
Where Love has finally called out our names

Believe, I must always believe
As we celebrate
The cries of Love’s Octave Reign

Feed the Starving

Exanimate the fractions of the few
Delete all the attentive lust
Start a cause for those
Who need your mind the most

When the few talk, Listen
When the many talk, Listen
But try to keep a level playing field
Even if you have to tilt a tad bit
To spend more time with the few

In fact
The few deserve your time
The many can afford losing time
You see, The few are more hungry
While the full are too busy being full

Feed the few up
Well at the least a little
The full have many many layers to keep striving
Just try to split the time. Split that very time
So all can feel not so left out

We should all spread out
Share and share and share
Never ignoring those there for you
Because the many will stay many
While the few may fade away

We all starve for what we have passion for
Just stop so much of feeding the full
Try feeding the hungry as well

Balance, Balance, Balance
Help the unbalanced back up
For they are too hungry to even walk

Is this repetitive? Maybe
I just really wanted to get this message across

From a Metaphoric Point of View

Bribe the Devil
With your hedonistic stare
While holding the bible
For all Angels to see

Smile with those Demonic eyes
While flying by
Wearing a halo bribe
Playing a tune for a foolish ensemble

Paint your cries
With fecal lies
As your tongue ties
In vanity’s judgment

"Go ahead pick your next subject"

Give them satisfaction for free
Or at a steal of a price
They look so beautiful
It’s what you do right?

Oh, Grace falls accordingly
Pictures come alive
Lust forms instant buys
Publishing from a synthetic mirage

The Devil caved in
Oh, But that is what you think
Karma delves and derives
When you least expect it to

"Forming mountains of falsehoods"
"Roaming in a realm of consciousness"

Character gone
When ones heart is bare
Only to reveal the soul
For experienced eyes to see

So much to learn
Please do everything the right way
Because in the end
You will truly be satisfied

Ah, Just open within
There is so much to you
So much, So very much
More than meets the lustful eye

Ode to my Mistress Misery

Misery. Sweet misery
Safe with my sublime
Muse worthy of this heart
Oblivious to the grace that shines

Love is a joke
A mirage, A façade
Putting hopes and dreams
Inside this heart
To only shred it
Into millions of jagged pieces

Misery, Sweet misery
Always right by my side
Never walking away
Loyal and sincere
Safety in such grateful demise

True romance is dying
Fake urges live on
Fools become lovers
All rights become wrong

Misery, Sweet misery
This pain I must design
Toughen this heart to stone
Till numbness
Becomes my own personal salvation

Oh, In the grand essence of lifeless life
Misery is all one has to hold onto
When all hope is lost

Now you know
Why hope always subsides

Misery is my ambition
My guiding light

One of the very few things
That has been true to me
For all of my entire life

Hope

Her nickname, Hope
Curator of dreams
Distant she may be
Yet, A living a breathing masterpiece
So close to this very heart

Ah, Such a warm smile this beauty has
And eyes sweet chocolaty adorn
Forming happiness and comfort
Creating secure feelings ever so relaxing
Ever so everlasting
Paradise to it’s natural core

Oh, What a beauty she is
Inner to outward
Onward it soars
Into lucid tranquility I so dearly adore
At peace in poetical dimensions galore

Ah, If protection she needs
I would be at her front door
Holding onto her presence
For as long as she sees fit
Hurt, Pain shall cease to nevermore

See, She has awoken this heart
Made me feel again
So dearly in debt I am
For this muse
Has magically flown
Into the realm of a new inner salvation

Distance, It may be there
But she is always with me
Side by side

Her nickname Hope
Mine Love

With all these new feelings She has made me feel
My dreams have now been inspired into Hope and Love

So grateful, So thankful
Hope, I dream
You know who you are

Day Dreaming till the Gray Skies Turn Blue

Shy, Worried
Tired of rejection
Hectically self imprisoned
Why, Oh, Why, Where am I?

Look at her, Just look
Beautiful and so warm hearted
Oh how she deserves the world
A billion times over and beyond

Frozen, Cannot express these feelings
Closed emotions for meaningless safety
Too much fear, Oh, Too much fear
Scared that she will look the other way

Ah, Such energy
Vibe ever settling
Word for word she’s amazing
As if she’s everything I have ever asked for

Frustrations, Dead end familiarities
Heart spinning, Sinking
Segregated, Empty, Alone
Dwindling inside, Eternal hell ride

Yet, I need to try
Fighting this pain
Ride it to oblivion
Then rise on up
Till these feelings feel secured again

Ah, I should know
No matter what
She will be in my heart
In any situation
Even perhaps love?

Oh, If only she could give me a sign
Something that helps me travel
Right into her arms, If only

At least hope shall grace me now
