Ahh Art
Curtis Apr 2014
The beauty of creation
An urge to adventure
The love of curiosity
All with meaning at its center
Finding yourself
Spilling your guts
Spanding the mind
Learning love
The best way to spend time
Art is beauty
Theres beauty in this rhyme
And all of yours too
With out spending a single dime

Music
Curtis Apr 2014
Music
When you're feeling blue
Music
When you need something new
Music
When inspiration strikes you
Music
When time sticks like glue
Music
When you're not amused
Music
What would i do without you

Optimism
Curtis Apr 2014
Every day
Is a step further
From being anything
But awesome

Food for Thought
Curtis Apr 2014
Weak minds understand the problem
Normal minds understand the solution
Strong minds understand both
I expect criticism for this one

Sloth
Curtis Apr 2014
I am myself
I live free
I pity those
Who do not know themselves

All you see
Are the people you need
The people you use
To set your mind free

It is the sin of sloth
To only think of others
You are worth not your time
You know not time
You think for pain
And ask what you have gained
Nothing

You need yourself
To be set free
To see others
Whom they really be

I was there
But my mind has been cleared
I have lost all my fears
And become a deer

Dear,
You will be there
And I'll be here
Come to me
When you're free

Emotion
Curtis Apr 2014
What is it but a word
You need not understand it
To give it meaning is absurd

Its to be enjoyed
When it comes around
But you choose
To just wait
On the ground
Saying
"Sadness i have found"
Waiting with a frown
Waiting for it to turn around

Move
Move with yourself
Do something
Do not
Do not wait
For you. You need not control apathy. You need to live with it until something comes along. Stay strong.

Medication
Curtis Apr 2014
What ails you?
A sickness?
The flu?
Purge the unnatural with something we have made!

Maybe you feel weak?
From an injury?
From a bone you have tweaked?
Purge the unnatural with something we have made!

Or maybe you just feel blue?
A sickness of the brain?
Well then.
We can help you.
Purge the unnatural with something we have made!

No matter the problem,
No matter how small,
A simple little pill,
Will fix them all.

Take this pill.
It is normal you know.
You will no longer feel ill.
Yes,
You will no longer feel...
Ill.

Sunday Evening
Curtis Apr 2014
Ahh the feeling
A buzz on a sunday evening
The wind somewhat chilling
For the stairs
I willl surely need a railing

Sadness Part Two
Curtis Apr 2014
It lingered
Like a cloud
Like it was proud
But dont worry
I came around

Coffee
Curtis Apr 2014
Coffee
A cup of pure glee
A silent calm scream
I need energy
But it is best enjoyed free

Language
Curtis Apr 2014
Language is beauty
It is the connection from you to me
It is a feeling through sound
By noise we are not bound
It is from sound we are free

Language may be the same
But its energies be not tamed
Through each person speach
Its power
Is up to thee
Apr 2014 · 394
A Penny
Curtis Apr 2014
A penny for your thoughts
Not your words
But what is true
Do you really feel the same as I do

Sadness
Curtis Apr 2014
It lingers
Like a cloud
Like its proud
But dont worry
I'll come around

Notes and Tags
Curtis Apr 2014
Why must we elaborate
Poetry is subjective
Because it is art

Why must we label
Poetry is not what we say it is
It just is

Home
Curtis Apr 2014
In this world
I have a home
A home with bed
With food
With wine
Without serenity

But i have another
With friends
To keep me company
And trees to cover me
Life all around
My sorrow not be found
Natures care
Is always there

Sleep
Curtis Apr 2014
Sleep come to thee
Take me away and whisper
Come with me

A place not so far
With rivers and forests
Crystal clear
A place where i have no scars

Clarity come to thee
Why cannot i see
I need to set myself free
While I'm awake in reality
Apr 2014 · 367
Blind
Curtis Apr 2014
Why is it that i cannot see
It is obviously the choice of me
I need to push forward
And let come what will be
But i simply cannot see
My heads to the ground
As i wear such a frown
But i not need
I not need a frown to bind me
I need only me
And positivity

Who Was It
Curtis Apr 2014
Someone had asked
Hello, what does it mean
I think i have found
I think i have finally seen
What hello actually means
Its more of a question
Than a greeting
It asking for a hand
A hand to help guide
And move you along
Its the bridge of language
From me to you
Hello
Do you choose to cross the bridge i have made new?
Apr 2014 · 244
Hel(lo)p
Curtis Apr 2014
Hello followers
How are you
I'm not well i must admit
If your here or there
Its good you care
Always care
Take it
Take it everywhere

Time
Curtis Apr 2014
Time is a concept
We each perceive
It may be twelve
But what is it really?

Is it the aging of things
And the death of youth
Or the sounds of spring
The smell of winters beginning?

Or maybe currency
Across time
Across the sea
Always the same
In any city
Percieve it as such
Now tell me my friend
What have you bought?

I bought some work
To maintain current life
I bought guitar
The beauty of music
I bought a gaze at the stars
And many good flicks

Now I've bought this poem
At a worthy price
Now you've bought it too
The art it's been
I hope it was worth it
~Thank you im very appreciative!~
Time, use it to progress, use it for good, use it to share, use it how you want to

You
Curtis Apr 2014
You
When emotion feels good
When you're in that perfect mood
The world seems so smooth
As it's conforming to your groove

People become people
Not just hollow shells
With your mind atop a steeple
You see the shining belle

The world is great on this day
From your path you will not stray
Never stop moving forward
When you stop you seize to see the things ahead of you

Breathing
Curtis Apr 2014
Inhale
Exhale
No thoughts just breathing
Inhale
Exhale
No regret just breathing
Inhale
No self pity just breathing
No worries about tomorrow just breathing
No thoughts of...
Oh, right
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
Just breathing
Meditation, hard but rewarding

Cleansing
Curtis Apr 2014
My mind is filled
Just dirt and grime
The only thing to cleanse
Is the art of the rhyme

Sun (Continued)
Curtis Apr 2014
There need only be
One ever so warming fire,
The sun that shines down on me.
One ever so giving earth,
The ring of life that surrounds me.
One ever so cleansing water,
The cars passing that resemble falls.
One ever so friendly wind,
The one thats keeping me company.
I'm missing water

Sun

Sun
Oh sun you shine so bright
On my face and into my life
Spring is here and is a friend so dear
Until winter comes and chills my beard

**** winter.
