solar systems.
we are just one of the many in the universe.
but in the mess of planets and stars,
i found you.

Inside my little world I try to focus
long enough to look into your eyes
and keep the dearest particles of light,
captured in May,
released in June,
restored in July,
severed in August,
inside.

I cannot remember
the last time I felt
this melancholy.

/

Careless laughter
and needless fantasies
we indulged in,
of spending even more
time than we did,
more than we should,
more than we had,
more more more…
It was never enough.

We’d drown ourselves
in the romanticised idea
of youth
and a lifestyle
better suited for
invisible wanderers
than for kids from the suburbs.

We’d stay out too late
mimicking the artists
who failed to get their pain across,
imagining we understood them.
We’d be up all night
guessing each other’s thoughts
and retelling our life
down from childhood up until then.

Contemplations of jealousy
and assumptions
rooted in instability.
Long walks
through cracked pavement
and jokes to hide
our invalidated pain.

Songs sung out.
Songs screamed out.
Songs of hope.
Songs of loss.
We’d hide ourselves
in music and the arms
of whoever was
conveniently located.

And I wouldn’t take any of it back.

In a land vast,
I try to learn a clear thought
A form that I can use
chisel the underlying block
I am not hypnotised from the eyes
I can't make situations come,
Must learn when they arrive.
Alive I feel inclined to speak only from the mind.
But as I do I am defined,
like reading the summary of a book
in the back slacking off before class casting thoughts
before understanding the twist in the plot, arise true thoughts that leave no compromise in mind third-eye. Thrid like, my surroundings are spiraling around me, staying awake, alive beating riding a heart, but the flame depart, to die in mind, they stay alive learning, yearning to grow, in time the thought provoke, divine inclined to say watch now how fine, words come from dumb  ones dying.

As I sit talking to my consciousness, I ask questions that relatives seem to say, can be swayed to devilish ways, rays of hope can be seen, but the words are scarce and leave the scene almost immediately.
Thunderous roars of actions sing as all man look to see, knowing that death is a chosen fate for us, deep in our DNA it is woven, so I ask the question that no one is knowing.
How are we not unified throughout this time, woven like silk, intertwined?
The fact we are great mammals, with knowledge so prime, evolved from apes, right?
Evolved from fish, right?
How I don't know then, if Science "proves" "we evolved" how the hell then, are we not all watching each other all, washing each other off.
More I mean, in fact, how are we not loving each other all?
Helping each other grow tall.
For there is destruction that consumes, from a source being fumed, by a fire, ancient, zoomed to the future, as we watch death rebloom, some are celebrating, delegating, hounding other **** sapiens, knowing that **** well we are sincerely impending doom.
When you would take one's mind, grab it, mold it, control it and try to dominate it, hold it. It speaks clouds,  that in fact speaks louder then the pine I smoke all the time.
Define a crime, when the crime of the mind can bind, bindings leave the mind behind, straying to a sin, lost, never going to win, in the time that minds turns the crime good, only in that person's mind, for it is defined in that time as right, consuming the light.
send it underground and let the devils feast
A leaf fallen also dies without a peep.
A leap of faith inside of me also asks how can we not see...
Lost and Out forever looking to find peace.
Chosen words, by the mind, observe, throughout the Nation and the Earth.
Rebirth of times again, repeated life descends, ahead is future flights that take you to the stars a chosen night.
A woven time of hidden shrines, lost in unpleasant lines, the devil binds, but look not scared for
the
Lord is awake and right.
Listen alright.
The question was clear.
Why then are we not, all unified, why is there crime on this Earth, why do we stand divided? How on Earth don't we move, unified, always colliding, if knowing there's destruction on Earth, how can we rise to become more than valuable work tools for the richer ones.
They threw out God,
how can we now rise?
The evil applauds,
They say look to nature, where danger evolves...
I'm so appalled,
they are so appalled.
Name calling involved, anger has been stricken in all.
Again the question in all rights seems to be alright because the debate can end all fights,
end all life
by the word I seem to siphon through
the cipher that I do put my mind into.
How are we not all evolved into one conscious,
like ants who do go straight in line inclined to do what is right for the hive, alive, we are separated, only through our mind, for that ant does not have a brain, as mine, but some cannot fathom how I am asking so again.
For I know me from God, I am never subtracting.
Reacting with words, I need to know, understand  evils plans and plays being made for humans to be swayed, so now I must say if we all know the way of humans how is it death comes from some of the smartest including whole nations fighting over territory and its crazy if we all know that we are apes, we climb atop a building and burn like King Kong I guess. Well maybe we need the Lord more than all and he has answered our call. Now we gotta tell them all to do is let go of the chain and ball, it's called hate, yall, and it exist in is all.

Got Guanxi
I don't want to live for ever,
Never,
To clever for that.

I don't want to work for the man,
never,
Signed up for that,

I don't want no steady life
Never,
Endeavoured for that.

I don't want to find treasure,
Never,
Got enough of that.

I don't want to look better,
Never,
Too weathered for that.

And I don't want to go sleep tonight,
Never
No, too leathered for that
