Exhausted
Curtis Aug 2014
I'm tired today
With all the things I have done
I'm happy to say

Give
Curtis Aug 2014
I purchased today,
A meal,
As is done,
Everyday,
But this time,
For me?
Nay.
For one,
Who could not pay.

Just Thinking
Curtis Aug 2014
And I ask

What energy
Is held
Within whatever
You may consume

I consumed
A cigarette
One that I
Politely bummed

Significance
Curtis Aug 2014
What difference
Is the significance
Of the objects on display
Opposed to what I wear today
I don't know that anyone could say

Breath Easy

That is it
It is time to rest
And time no more
To fail my sculpted tests

And out of the world
Fast we shall travel

Lacking Energy to Complete
Curtis Aug 2014
It's all about energy
The things that matter need
Is the same for humans to be
See...

Potential,
Kinetic,
And.
Thermal.
Mostly.

Everyone should be
Floating atop it all,
Always ready
For their
Biggest fall
Holding steady
And standing tall
                                                    
Hoping,­
Or,
Knowing.

That you wont
Fall
Will finish, got distracted per the usual

Why Me?
Curtis Aug 2014
"Why must it be me?"
The words of a bleeding man
Bandages in hand

Standing Tall
Curtis Aug 2014
Isn't it sad
When someone falls
And they get mad

Turning to blame
Anyone but themselves
Is to me a shame

When we fall
We learn
And can again stand tall
Unless we choose
To think we know it all

Stunning

The word to describe
The beauty behind your eyes

It is a Beautiful Day
Curtis Aug 2014
It is not easy
To express
The way I see
Happiness

Heat
A property of matter
And its absence
Can make things easily shatter

Light
Waves and reflections
Without it
Dark is to be mentioned

Sorrow
Through my veins
Rotting and rusting
My wonderful brain

Sorrow
And the lack thereof
Turns my head
To smile at the sun

History
Curtis Aug 2014
In this place
Housing history
The air seems still

From old coffee
And the cup where it rests
To the garment
Once embracing gentle *******
And many mens eyes

Left now
To hold tight
To a woman
Of plastic

Notes placed
And misplaced
Some to be seen
Behind a glass case

All things
To never change
Only occasionally
To be forgotten
Worin' at the Richfield Historical Society

It's All In Your Head
Curtis Aug 2014
The things you do
The things you see
They make not you
They make not me
What makes you
Is what you percieve

Sweet & Sour
Curtis Aug 2014
A sour day
Turns sweet
With every wonderful person

Love
Curtis Aug 2014
I long to love
No
I live to love
As we all do
To passers-by
I ask how do you do?
And stick around
For the desire to know
Is truth
So I love
The things I see
And the people i meet
I'm merely just waiting
For my special treat
It has got to be just around the corner.
Which corner? That corner? That corner is quite far, how about that corner? The one near the bar? Please don't tell me, it's among the stars, I haven't a spaceship... I shall build one! With endless corners inside, maybe then you will be found, when it is ready to ride?

Therapy
Curtis Aug 2014
Poetry
Is healing
To me

It is the disinfectant
To my wound
Or the seed
Of a creative plant

It is the return
Of sanity
And all the time
I refused to unwind

It seems
That I was right
Therapy
Was a worthless fight

The battle i bear
Is in my mind
And through it
Truth I did find

A risk I took
To go it alone
Almost left me
Blind
Almost left me
A body to find
But i realize now
I can finally see

Poetry is my therapy

Your Shoes Don't Fit

Forward

My perspective

Human
Curtis Aug 2014
What is it
That we humans
Do best?
The answer
You will find
When we rest
It is what is released
In our mind
Even in the day
From time to time
It is what colors
A computer green
When a human
Simply dreams

The Line
Curtis Aug 2014
So now
The line we walk along
Becomes clear again
Always clear
Again

I can see it below me
Always there
Never to not be
The sight grows old
I make it blurry
To somehow feel bold

The line we walk along
My focus no more
I look everywhere
But the floor

I Understand

Ever have nights when you can't sleep
Don't worry friend

The chasms of my mind too, are deep

Frustration. Frustration.
Curtis Aug 2014
How much longer
Do I have to wait
To be able to determine
My own lifes income

I want no influence
On the things I do
Determined at heart
This WILL come true

Fingerprints
Curtis Aug 2014
The ease
Of untouchable flow
Where every input
Equates to an equal output
A mans love
For technology
Pure logic
Fits like a glove
To hide

Universe
Curtis Aug 2014
"From where do we come,
Why is it that we stay,
What is different today,
Will tomorrow differ,
From the events of yesterday?"

All the questions in the world
In the darkest corners lurch
Some people end up scared
They turn to their local church
I just turn my head to the sky
I know i am part of the universe

Creation
Curtis Aug 2014
I want to play guitar
To drift afar
In my own creation

Just be
But alas

I Still Dream of You

No Crown
Curtis Jul 2014
Downtown
looking around
I dont wear no crown
Dont wear no frown
I dont even
see the ground

my heads up high
With no reason why
Standing under a summers sky
And in the winter
My sorrow will return

Comparable to quick sand
Very far from quick

Mmm...
Curtis Jul 2014
The smell
Of a release
From a restless hell
And a warm welcome
To the life of a busy worker bee

Everything is swell

Why Not
Curtis Jul 2014
And so I thought
Why not
As I walked to the park
As it's dark

Anxiety
Threatened to **** me
So im going to sit
Amongst the trees
And the leaves
And just be
Just be me

Cigar in my hand
No words
No plans
Just me
And poetry

I got ice cream today
And to several girls
I would have liked to say
Hey
Did I?
Nay

I cant keep up with my thoughts
So I dont
I just remain lost
But not here where I sit
Where suburbia splits

Here
I am safe
I can think of no better place

Hello Followers
Curtis Jul 2014
Ever wondered,
What it's like to be dead?
Just spend a few months,
Inside your own head.

Remember,
You're not insane.
Your mind,
Is a beast to tame,
And life,
Is just your game.
How are you today

Guest
Curtis Jul 2014
Exhaustion is an unwelcomed guest
Whos timing is a perfect pest
Always when my mind is best
It is time for rest
With DMT dreams
We all are blessed
Curtis Jul 2014
What makes me
Is the way
I make poetry
The way
I view a tree

I sometimes give
And I sometimes give in
Questioning the way I live
Loops and twists and circles
Make it hard to stay positive

I know not restraint
Whether in life
Or the nightmares I paint
When I give
It's always more than I make
That is not by mistake

Things done
Things to be
Is the cause of one
That one is me

Loops and twists and circles
Tend to unwind
Just keep your head up
Stay out of your own mind
Enjoy the theoretical
Concept of time

Un-rot
Curtis Jun 2014
Walking about
Through my own mind
Like being lost
But amazed by the things I find
Thinking out loud
And to no one but myself
Yet I assure you
I need not any help
Seeing things around me
As if I was once blind
Rewriting my theory of time

Path
Curtis Jun 2014
It is funny I find
We live within a circle
Yet we choose
To live like lines

Time
A number
Sewn to thee
But never
To the endless galxies

This
Some beings cannot see

Constriction
Curtis Jun 2014
The fear of death
The disagreement with ends
Taking life like path
And forgetting it bends

I have faith
my god is true
Read this book
Then then ill listen to you

Love
All those who believe
Love
only those who believe
Hate
the ones who choose to perceive

Love is the word
of every religion
Yet
The amount of hate
That it creates
Is absurd

Bridges
Curtis Jun 2014
Worry not for the bridges you have burned
For they are merely lessons to be learned
If it comes to such a day
That you find the charred remains
And on the side that you can not reach
Looks to be a newly born beach
Prepare now for the lot of time
A new bridge you must design

It brings a feeling

Suddenly
Curtis May 2014
So suddenly
It was no longer
No longer about me
None of my personal griefs
None of my self pity
Not about thee
It was about he
Or she
Whom lay so selflessly
There
For me to see

A bird lay
In the lawn
MY lawn
Nearing to be gone
For it would have never seen dawn
As the cats play
And look for prey
I would not let it be gone to they
It is times like this
That make a godless man
Wish to pray

Down to the last
Burning in my hand
It soon shall be past

Smoke
Harsh
But smooth
Somewhat clashing
With my mood

Blaghcdgbgjbhhb
I need people
The kind i'm not used to
Ones who make me feel
The opposite of blue
I have not one
I have two

Both named nick
Whom I did not pick
Around they chose to stick

I am lucky
And grateful for these two
They make me feel
Less than blue
Stream of thought forced through poetry

Some organization
Is better than none

Are things simple and petty
Like a girl
And how little they make sense to me
