Rest will always greet us.
And at times unprepared.
When those times we know
Are near...
Do we thank the times arrival?
Or simply wallow in despair.
For its not a matter of life.
Or how one has lived,
Suffered or shared.
Once we finally realize.
Then we're there.
Written a few years ago-3/5/2012
Peace

You were just beside me.
I know.
One can feel your air.
Even with eyes closed.
One sees.

And when you're away.
I slow.
All senses grow bare.
Like casting for food.
In dry seas.

Tread lightly
john p green Nov 2015
Are we truely touching?
That void where nonsense
truly knows
Still grasping
Just don't ask
Silly me!
Just don't ask
Can you hear?
Can you feel?
Even smell?
Tap those planes?
Yes, seems apart
Yet your in front
I see through dark
Go ahead and fly
For your curfew
Does draw near
Don't want you to
totally vanish
From my soul's
Lost energy

Dark days
john p green Nov 2015
People tend to breed on misery.
Yes and we are exceptions.
Like a sane lonely breed.
A very rare vampire creed.
Not wanting to contribute.
And not **** that light away.
From others whom are dear.
Now you will not get blood.
Out of my tears any more.
Just rest in peace my love.

Guidance
john p green Nov 2015
We three sat down by the pond
To see the water wade
To talk about some of lifes
simple pleasantries
And some wich may not be
so happy to share
Words here- there

Words so simple yet so coveted
In a dense cloud
Thick clouds of light
Ambiguity and drizzles
Of comforting grace

Graceful deliverance
From the swirling storm
A conflict that's life

Yet what's the matter
For I feel the right
Takes hold of me

Uh! Uh! Let's go this way
No business over there
And once realization sets
Yeah! Sets in, all's complete

Look into my look and you see Sunyata
Try to govern and you will simply dry up
If I extend my limbs full forward
Will you know they're not your own
For there are no masquerades thrown
Here one simply uncovers over there
Seems all you solicit is to atone
Make me your parallel, I've offered

don't cry
john p green Oct 2015
You can go wherever you want
Wether near or just abound
Just don't matter to me
For I'm not wearing matching shoes
Will comprehension uplift thee?
Though as support in your soul?
Now what are we speaking of?
Shall we ask or simply mask?
What rhetoric or canter
Will make your day better?
It's all nonsense dont deny
A second thought or glance
Simply lose ones self in order to...
Well plain and simple
No arithmetic involved
Or proper spelling
Live! Live! Live!

There will be too little to begin
I'll just keep stuttering, stuttering, muttering
Hand me a token take them chances
Maybe you'll light up marble glances
Even ignite a doublefold tear release
Watch out as wooden grip splinters ease
All the humdrum, same song bouting out again, again.
No win, no win
There will now be a little to resind
Clattering tokens burn to reclaim
Minds broken needle from its skip
293 · Jan 2016
Never..
john p green Jan 2016
Say, "Cancel Me" or "I'm Done."
Less you wanna go. For real!
No taking back.
A stone's throw, a simple one
At that.
No asking a re-try.
Just don't wish yourself away.

11 and stupid as can be.

I have straight A's and going to Edward Waters.

Still thoughts flow to me.

Making me feel not lonely.

Still as stupid as can be.

I can't even do the nae nae.

The end
Halloween night passing piece of paper round and each contributed thoughts with no rhyme or reason...pure fun..2 tricker treaters began with the ink

Steering onto levels forgotten
Tucked away till a whisper

You'll serve out masks with firecracker dip.
Bouncy about stringing blessings to fright.

For I need you! My palms are dripping
Lick away! Oh! Please do so

Many people handle many situations
In various ways
Some may sit and wither
Others take them head on
No matter how you choose to handle them
Just know that mine will always be
The hand you need when you need it

taking a walk
john p green Dec 2015
Bought me a jigsaw puzzle
Just randomly off the shelf
Price, didn't give a ****
Offered it to passerbys
Maybe one could decipher
And piece themselves whole
Met one who stepped out
So I opened that puzzle
Cut it right down middle
They half and me half
And so we parted our ways
Ya see no matter how close
Just how close fitting them
Always missing or lost one
So why not toss half those
Gives your imagination chance
To never finish letting go
To stop being so stagnate
It will greet you one day
I know

john p green Nov 2015
What did you say?
Oh! wait, can i order another?
Is that a possibility?
Really! Well let's go.
This is sweet. Yet soothing with a twist.
A bit comforting, no, let's face it!
A whole lot of comfort.
Can I have another just the same?
Not possible? When will I know?
Oh! Okay, it still reverberates at the back of my mind.
What do you call it?
Ahh! I see.
Your voice.

john p green Oct 2015
Did you care for you or me when I last spoke?
Dare you dare to realize
This is notta mere Joke?
For life can be fragile
And dissipate with winds breath
Carrying Your fragile soul
Unto those highest reaches
Then sprinkle droplets of love
Essence and all
All what? Yuo should know!

Never Learn
john p green Dec 2015
2 little doggies won in the fair
Kept in the family many a year

Both cherished and adored
Of course so all could see

Yet one day they took a walk
Not by vain ones but by a crook

Rest assured crook had no fear
Simply smiling at your dispair

Looks like another trip to the fair
Such a facade clutching you near

your taste so ripe
john p green Nov 2015
Happened once, just that chance
As we twriled round, simple dance
Can we never let arms let go
A plain and simple matter
All should surely know
That union simply can't compare
Was it my eager imagination
The taste of your essence flows
As that flower blossoms before me

"S"
john p green Nov 2015
"S"
Sacrifice clearly indulges itself
And streaks along the way
But hey! What do you expect?
All those self proclaimed
Or claiming to be so
Just doesn't match does it ?
The only thing that matters
Is the letter S
So soak this in

Pray the veins in your neck.
Never swell in it persisting.

Lughter part 1
john p green Oct 2015
The gruelling chores of life's temptations struggles lay upon us such strife
So harsh and waxing each day and if I may implore, what more oh! alive then the release
Just wait till you unfurl or simply taking in a whirl
Do I need that comfortable peace
Or a simple handshake making us ease?
I will attempt to be receptive to your kiss of peace
Never resist it! Let it fall and capture you!
It comes not to twist, but to fly high above the seas
With the sky and every day touch what we are due
Shove off the rejection! Catch the laughter infection!
For as we dance with waves not simmply gurgle an holler, also share that time mirroring our own reflection
Time will take us to that place
Don't dare intrude or even bother
For laughter has come around
And no one else shall resist the dance
276 · Nov 2015
Listen!
john p green Nov 2015
Just because we wanna say
Doesn't mean we say
Or gonna say something
Need ya to hear me now
For really means nothin
If and when ya stand tall
Lick your lips now
Then stand tall
Ya know it's in ya
Never lose hope
Oh! That vital hope
It shall shine!
Choose that balance
Choose to realize
275 · Nov 2015
K?
john p green Nov 2015
K?
Want you to tell me just that!
It's not so hard after all.
Are you more then willing
To simply spill your guts?
You do oh! so fashionably.
And shall I offer that light?
That one which engulfs you
No what's the opposite?
Already figured it all out.
I truly do like that parade
Kinda makes me sorta jello
Especially watching two hands
Entwined with another fellow
Here I go once more ranting
Just try and stay clear ok?

sitting around
john p green Oct 2015
I'm just sitting around
For that Zack and Anne attack
For it is inevevitible
It's so friggin predictable
There be eardrums to burst
And no laughs out loud
Let's see what transpires
Sometimes their up then down.

Still Air
john p green Nov 2015
I'll let you in on a little secret
There is none
I'll tell  you where to travel
Right here
I'll let you hold my hands
Buy I have none
I'll even go so far
To let you peek
I'll let you open the door
With no knobs
I'll let you buy dinner
At a vacant deli
I'll let you stare into my eyes
With eyes closed
I'll wash your back for you
With only air
I'll tell you a great story
Not written yet

Sitting round ole rickity
Helping those blossoms
Everyone's reaching in
Nurturing while smiling
Colors of joy of breath
As el sol caresses gently
Bewilderment isn't there
For all whom gathered
Know the soil in their soul
No one's fabric risks toll
There's a mother connect
Bare feet rooted to ground

Split seas
john p green Nov 2015
If I could paint one picture, what our love meant to me
I'd paint such a masterpiece, where the sunset meets the sea.
Splashing vibrant colors, reds mixed in with blues.
Combined with orange and yellows, all soaked in for you.
This sunset placed in lovely frame, would hang and last forever.
Though, unlike such a special piece, we wouldn't stay together.
Each night sun and ocean met, once more they became one.
Our love, however, didn't last the dreams had come undone.
The painting would forever then be  rememberence of me and you.
Of how we couldn't harmonize, as the sun and ocean do.

Revealing dream
john p green Nov 2015
Still so vivid as a kid in the backyard
Just climbed outa my tree house
One my hands nailed hard
All of a sudden two jaguars appear
Straight from outa those woods
They then began speaking
And talking about me
They thought I couldn't see
I then formed a quick reply
If you could see their eyes
It was total disbelief
That I could fully understand
And it was at that point
My totem animal came to me

Feeling Lost
john p green Dec 2015
It's like trying to move those beads along faster toward the spiral of an hourglass
To reach that exact moment of knowing, reconciliation in growing together or otherwise
Only in being lost within you could I possibly step outwards offering anything of value
I'll always have that openness to help
us in any guiding way
The only thing I can do is be patient
As far as I know we both want to be together or at least I thought so
262 · Nov 2015
reflection
john p green Nov 2015
Feel as if at times my own reflection is betraying me
As I look deep into water sure enough
There it goes once again
Tossed back with that crooked grin
Then there comes time to toss a rock in
This could just be the answer I need
And when the ripples disipate
There's no more , no more hate

apprecitiation
john p green Oct 2015
Do you realize what it means to me
As you said that my life did matter
No matter what I did say
For my breath was carried on
As a breeze gone awry
And if I have to sacrifice
For a friend whom found me
Then that's all shall matter
You and I friends forever

Trifecta
john p green Oct 2015
Time will tell...only when the answer holds everyone's heart
Brings it forward and elevating it till
All will see!
Not just those three
But those gathering around
To watch, learn and grow
Is that such an impossible calling?
Where we are and come about?
And what lies next?

When do I decide not to?
Is it my choice or merely a ride?
Thou shalt grant thy wishes.
Or merely reside within.
Sometimes too many questions.
Haunting you till the end.
Because just for that reason.
That reason simply put.
Let bygones be bygones.
Or another drag from cigarette.
At this point not quite sure.
Could be nonsense or...
Or... possibly the closure.
Let's not fantasize.
Or even be false in nature.
Simply let yourself realize.
You are you and you and...

just pissed!
john p green Nov 2015
And just gotta vent
Can't truly understand
That simple connection
Between cosequence
And regret
Its like that shadow
Which puts needles
Straight into your brain
Until the day one realizes
Wow! If I just had only...
Then the sadness ensues
A flood of emotions
Now they take over
Haunts one for the duration
of one's life

Grow Wings
john p green Oct 2015
As I find myself in fragile spirits and small states
The soft touch of light greets me with a kiss so sweet
And soothing, one must wonder about the blissful treat
Of such bright sweets which crush the dark grates
I humbly pray for revolution in the name of peace
The refreshing blood will lay at the feet of all who yearn
For solace and warmth and a love follows that wont burn
But rest in the comforting glowing dove from the seas
If we dare make the leap shall we fail or touch the skies?
Within the trail of oh such beauty comes with the sound of cries
A cry so loud the drums will craft a tune so light
And rooted in harmony that our souls may fly out of sight

Only you know when you know
Could be in that passing stranger

Many eye's need opening
Many souls come alight

When white water crests the banks of yesterday and tomorrow.
Never in the now experienced never in the now.
Only in the mind's shard visions.
Wishing to be there.
Once again awakening of memory thats jumbled with past times.
Sifted as if sands on Norway beaches where clean rules supreme.
The fireflies gleam spark to flame. Unknown fires longing to burn.
Burning too long, ashes in time.
The meaningless, meaningful glass. Looking  through mirrors reflective spaces.
Arrowheads greet the lone souls.
Wonder as children and *** will grow. Shape shift to the edges of forever.
On threads of long gone days.
Totally absent of ridicule or prying eyes.
Never in the now  yesterday's tomorrow.
Lifts and flows out without self.
Indulging in unknown forevers.
Just lone souls in the sun.
Under moonbeam sticks stones with petrified bones lays before you.
Yesterday's tomorrow never in the now.
Stepping through times distance unknown to all but two.
One in one and never in the now
