Sit out on the porch for a while.No intent as I watch the sun descend.Thoughts ebbing and flowing.Memories surface then fade away.Feels like freedom to me.With no rush to fill my head.Natures sounds are relaxing.Quite different to always ploughing through.Rather than taking time to soak up what’s surrounding you.Never planned to be quite this wired.FixedContinue reading “Pausing Is Important”

Empathy will fill your heart.Joy will give you a jumpstart.Show your colours and wear them proud.Don’t let other people’s negativity cloud… Its easy to sink into our world’s misery.But if you look past the pain you’ll find positivity.So much beauty everywhere you look.With kindness flowing from every nook.Drink it in and feel the swell.Rise knowingContinue reading “Include Everyone”

Rise above this malice which surrounds.Wading through it will otherwise cause you to drown. What gifts does it hold but sinking?None and that’s how I’m now thinking.So I cut to save what matters.Instead of embrace this toxic fathom. Daring is better than going along.Wound up will only do more harm.So I now see it asContinue reading “Remove And Breathe”

Narcissistic nagging with endless decay.Sick of listening to this every day.Leave me out so I can march on.For all this negativity is doing great harm.Pounding heads against concrete.In the end you’ll be nothing but weak. Separate and sever these ties.Blank out all of this idiot rise.Peace is more important than power or fame.Its why I’mContinue reading “Leave Me Out”

Writhe in the deep of our darkest dome.Right where we sleep is what we call home.No one will step across our threshold.You should know we’re like dogs with a bone. No one will stop our commitment.Forever after will come an incremental attack on you.Made your bed and you’ll die in it too. Step from theContinue reading “Villains In Vogue”

Left out on the porch.I stare at the sky with its twinkling.Sight to behold that I can’t forget.Dreams of joining are frequent. Fragile are hopes and days to come.Don’t sell me out to the sun. Financed hate in a soul.Forgive separation without the know.All to balance betrayal with joy.For these words are just a ploy.Continue reading “Sold Hope”

Pour from this bottle into your glass.Minutes are neither slow nor fast.What I will showcase holds no mystery.Its why I gave up on spectacle and ceremony. Rather I simply wish to speak.Unfold this tale without going weak.Cry my mind and not be judged.Torn from these walls that I’ve loved.For my hands are cracked…Blame it onContinue reading “Rejects In Hand”

I stared at the sun for a maddening time.Little did I know I would go blind!Always believed it to be a tale.Not a reality that would abhorrently prevail,Without an ounce of remorse to fly.What a way to whittle what remains of life. I made my bed.Now I must lie in it.Damned myself.Crushed my mind justContinue reading “Self-Infliction Addiction”

Watcher from on high.Peering down through this black sky.Seeker of some truth.Devoid of time or a segment called youth.Study what lies below.Upon these altars rot shall grow.Sifted just like sand.Heresy calls outsiders to wear a brand.Of fallacy and erasure.What lies here is that which made ya.Subjugation of old may.Spiralling out of the same faded day.Continue reading “Tacit Observer”
