Is sinking
Into silence..
Letting go of
That which appears
To grasp our coattails
And clouds the Identity
Of our true Self..

This is not to inquire
Into coattail attachments
But to directly recognize
That in which
We as well as our coattails
Make our stage appearance...

I've drank the finest of wine
Down to the bottom of the bottle
Only to witness an ocean alone
Barely surviving my own hands

A fire burned through my viens
That was blew out by the wind
Breezing through the leaves
A calmness that sits with me
Before calmness dismisses me

I walked across the tallest blue sky
Where wide winged birds soar high
Til promises of white clouds turn grey
And so there I fell with the rain
Dripping through the lowest gutter

Many times I was buried, lying in dirt
Like a grave, needing no help
Finding the dark inside of myself
But I always rise with the blades
Of the greenest fresh spring grass

No matter what feeling I catch
None of them seem to everlast
she is a happy ending,
not everyone can wait for.

love
Clock ticks,
The pen scribbles.
Pages fill,
Drowned in the letter.
In my mind,
Hallucinating,
Day and Night.
A void chamber,
Forgot my key inside.

I've conquered sadness
I've conquered madness
I've conquered laziness
I've conquered darkness
I've conquered mountains
I've conquered pains
I've conquered the insane
I've conquered the impossible
I've conquered the irresistible
I've conquered unbelief
I've conquered unrelief
I've conquered rejection
I've conquered perfection
I've conquered fame
I've conquered shame
I've conquered lust
I've conquered distrust
I've conquered reason
I've conquered treason
I've conquered my fears
I've conquered tears
I've conquered dark years
I've conquered lonely days
I've conquered errant ways
I've conquered erratic sways
I've conquered hate
I've conquered fate
I've conquered stress
I've conquered distress
I haven't conquered love
I've conquered nothing
If you gat no love you gat natin

For every
minute
you are angry,

you lose
60 seconds
of happiness.

She said "I'm falling in love."

I said "I'm falling apart."
What's the difference?
