About a Cat
Curtis Oct 2014
But then i remember
A being
an orange being
With a motor so loud
and love that soars
through even the darkest cloud
Furry and warm
earth born
I'm most certainly
writing
about a cat

Future, Be Bright
Curtis Oct 2014
I wish,
There was something to say,
Different from the things i say everyday.

The world,
And its unsupportive legs.
Communications,
Loaded with lies,
Severing any honest mans ties.

I wish to speak,
Of a world new.
A beautiful place,
Every corner,
A corner new.
Endless sees of green.
No want.
No need.
To hold it to your being,
With anything other than your eyes.

To take,
And to give back.
To work towards something,
You lack.
To know,
There is indeed no knife,
Behind your back.

Orange
Curtis Oct 2014
A faint,
Orange,
Glow,

Creeping,
Flowing,
Towards my fingers.

Moving slow,
Both me,
and the glow.

Consuming,
Burning,
Conical shapes blow.

Into the next day,
Creeping,
Flowing,
Glowing,
I go.

Where infinity's confined

My Thoughts on Ebola
Curtis Oct 2014
Death,
Comes at once.

A singular point,
In time.

Unfortunately,
Death does come to the masses.

Only every so often,
But it is ok.

Everything is a cycle,
Life moves on.

All we can hope for,
Is good people,
When the rest,
Are gone.

I heard a rumor,
Of zombies.

A fantasy of mine,
In prior days.

If it is to be,
Let it be.

Hopefully I can survive,
And be ebola free!

Not once will i sit and say,
Woe is me.

It is a significant moment in time.
For that,
I'm glad its experience is to be mine.

A powerful tool.

Consciousness,
It observes you too.

Pondering, Flowing
Curtis Oct 2014
Energy,
Is not to be ignored.

Energy,
Always around to absorb.

Equal,
Is its natural state.

Everyday,
Is a blank slate.

Clay
Curtis Oct 2014
Ahh,
Another day.

One to let my mind wander,
And let my mind play.

Life is substance,
similar to clay.

Just shape it,
Any ol' way!

Overworking
Curtis Oct 2014
Playstation.
Running as fast as it can.
Lava flowing through,
From component one,
To component two.

An engine.
Overworking.
Solder joints and Silicon,
The things that break,
Difficult to be undone.


Metal and plastic.
Assembled in crazy ways.
So soon to be,
In so many realities,
A state of disrepair.
Curtis Oct 2014
Four tonight
just us four
we will drink
and drink more!

Hot tubs
Fires
strangers
And alcohol galore!

We partied
with more
than what was
bargained for!

Some kid
passed out
stretched across
A bathroom floor!

'Hey man
I have pills
happy pills
watch me take more!'

Surprised
i was capable
of traversing
The yard to the door!

A Beautiful Thing
Curtis Oct 2014
Coffee
A wonderful thing
Slowly sipping

Bitter
It falls across my palette
As mood rises

Love
No other surprises
So perfectly brown

So smoothly
It goes down

Drowning

Frowns

Circles °○o0O
Curtis Oct 2014
What goes around
Comes around

Know this
Whenever you hit the ground

Know this
When you make another frown

Know this
When you help someone who's down

Know this
And be a funny clown

When someone else laughs
So do you

You know it is true!

Spend some time
To help someone out of the blue

Pairs
Curtis Oct 2014
People are like shoes
Wanting to be paired in twos

Different colors
For different days

Different styles
For different ways

That is
If you're a woman

They have many shoes
But I'm a guy

And I don't need shoes
Just thinking lol

Money Money Money
Curtis Oct 2014
The burner fluids low
The crack will only grow
The fan oil doesnt flow

You need a new furnace,
Bro

Anything
In my industry
Can be a lie

Customers haven't an understanding  why
They just call
And then I try
To fix
Or make money

Good thing I choose
Not to lie

The place
Where body
Meets the ground

Furthest from the place
Consciousness percieves
The things around

Matter under my feet
Where you find me
I am never bound

Moonlight Shadows

Scattered in the dark

Ever farther into the future

If You Will
Curtis Oct 2014
Think of your favorite movie
You see it
Hear it
Feel it

What you feel
Through a screen
Revealed

Imagine all things

If you will

To be revealed
In such a way
As a memory

I Embrace It
Curtis Oct 2014
There is no such thing as nothing
There is always something
Some emotion
Some feeling
Some being

But is it life?

That's up to you

Don't Drown
Curtis Oct 2014
Drowned by the world around
Learn to swim
Don't ever sink down
Float to the top
See the light
Because it exists
Even in the dark
Inspired by my favorite band
Tool

Outside
Curtis Oct 2014
Just as i sat down
As i started to want to experience this page
I saw something
In the waves of blue flowing down my legs

A spider
And man i had to say
Unique and beautiful
And it still is this day

Outside
And away from my leg
No friend there is nothing for you here, you live and absorb the outdoors
Much as i
So i let you live

Working Day
Curtis Oct 2014
This day is a day for play
My creativity is poking me
Shouting
Hey!

Aware am I
All the things around
I want to write them all
Write them all down!

I want to play
A pretty guitar
I want to end
The working day!

Mildy unpredictable
Fully unstoppable

Beautiful

Destructive
Cold

If i were to sleep
And wake up

Somewhere different
Someone different

Hands Crossed Over my Chest

In the most comfortable position

ADHD and Lies
Curtis Oct 2014
Aware
Of all the things around
Distracted
By a sound
And they look down
Curiosity gives them a frown

There's something wrong with you
If you notice everything
You're too right
For this wrong world

So take some Adderall
While your small
And watch your world fall

Meditation
Is far greater
Than medication
For a dear friend
Soon to be lost
Reeled in
By adderall
And lies
It made him feel he was wrong
Now he does not want to be right
It is for him this poem i write
But for you
It is an understanding too

Rejuvenate
Curtis Oct 2014
I wish to never sleep

To rejuvenate at day
Shine in the sun
Wander in the darkness

Never knowing
Where im going

Never lost
Never found

Always around
Feet attached to the ground

And mind
Tied tight to the air around
Oct 2014 · 284
Nothing Special
Curtis Oct 2014
I swear
The weirdest things
Are my personal cycles

Depression is cleaner
But my sleep is still the same

One day normal
One day exhausted

Sleep
Wake
No sleep
Exhaustion
Repeat

Hypertension

Fast food
Why
Convenience

Must you be
So tempting
So bad

Whos work

Why is there such a lack of healthy fast food

Purple was the Aura
Curtis Oct 2014
Last night
I saw purple
Behind my eyes
In my mind
Curtis Oct 2014
The strangest thing
Happened just now

I saw a man
In the mirror

And when i washed my face
I looked again

Expecting to see someone different

No desire

Pure expectation

Fluidity
Strange
Fluidity

I hear ringing in my ears
Louder
Than ever before

Something outstanding
Is in store

In my next poem
I'll tell you more

Future
Curtis Sep 2014
The future I find
Is a big part of ones life
One can feel they miss
Curtis Sep 2014
Slowly I realize
Meanings behind lies

Symbols
How they relate

Monsters
Are part of one's fate

Take for example

Medusa
A woman who dares not
To be beautiful
And any man
Caught staring
Gets caught
And then is stone

A vampire
Devious and cruel
Wanting only physics
Blood and lust
And vanity

Zombie
The most interesting
A body turned
Against its will
Into something
To turn others

Countless examples
Of a story

Viewed another way

Home
Curtis Sep 2014
I look forward
To the time from now
That seems quite far

Soon I will be home
To caress the strings
Of one beautiful guitar
