I'm supposed to write something sad, right?
Something really depressing, but relate able
That's the theme I've been riding on lately
Unless someone else finds that debatable

That's what I thought

Surprisingly, I'm not in that mood
And probably won't be for a long time
So these might get happy and cheesy again
But, don't worry, they'll at least still rhyme

The reason for this shift is quite simple
But the most complex thing I've ever seen
To think this all started with a swipe
And her attention being in my dog more than me

I'll explain more in time, I'll quench that thirst
But I need to enjoy this first
Screams of terror
Slices through the silence
As the free fall
Plays out in sluggish seconds

I need a new upgrade
From this heart inside my torso
One that actually stays put
And doesn't always want to show

I'm falling into the same waters
I worked so hard to escape from
The difference is I can stop this
Change this heart for something numb

The real question is
Why don't I?

Won might axe, "What is the mind?"
It tells you two think...act...or find.
Think of memories, that strain the hart,
Or act ridiculous, like making a ****!

"Find what?" People shall inquire.
"Four all of these miss steaks, written with know desire?"
But think twice, thrice, why not mice?
For this poem was written to give you spice.

The mind you sea, can make cents from error.
The mind can bee a place of terror.
Please do not be afraid, if eye must say.
For the monsters inside can stay at bey.

The fear within can be a hindrance.
Especially, when safety is off inn the distance.
Sow why does your mind keep you back?
You can't get away! You're always under attacked!

The answer is knot what you always feel.
No, it's not even complicated like making a deal.
For if you look deep down inside.
It's just your emotions, trying to hide.

Let's think a bout this, it's quite simple.
Like finding that stoopid annoying pimple.
You mite be the type to complain and blame.
**** your delicate mind is just a game.

Fall pray to it's claws, and you will lose.
In reality, it's only a ruse.
It will toss, turn, and try too undermine.
In order to win, you must mine the mind.

Dig in the depths of this vast beautiful world.
For you are the one that made it unfurled.
The only difference between yours and mine,
Is that I have mine, and yours is perfectly fine.
In my mind, I don't misspell the words... for the most part. Just a little somethin' somethin' that popped from the deep recesses of my brain :p

Love is happy
Love is sad
Love is pain, that can drive you mad

Happy is joy
Happy is bliss
Happy is something, you will definitely miss

Sad is gloom
Sad is near
Sad will eventually disappear

Pain is memories
Pain is clear
Pain is someone, you lost most dear

Love is life
Life is love
Love can be what you make of

Waken from death, out of a car
he crawled out of the burning inferno.
Wincing and groaning, regretting the bar
this man would soon come to know.

Sped back to the bar, from which he came
to toss fortune, ranted, and blame.
For he lost his job, his favorite career,
he ordered another cold beer.

Sober settled in, his head was clear
back to his house, to his dear.
Caressing, kissing, comforting her
that he would be back, in a blur.

Proud and humble his kids thought
of their dad who never seemed distraught.
Hugged and loved his little bugs,
they each got him 'Best Dad' mugs.

Seeping in slowly, something was wrong
it was almost as if he didn't belong.
It hit him like a giant boulder,
he would no longer be getting older.

Watching his life behind the eyes of a ghost
was when he felt it the most.
He had just lived his life in reverse,
it must have been a dreaded curse.

Flooded by memories, of love and pain
the last thing he remembered drove him insane.
Looking down at his cell phone light,
his last ****** expression showed great delight.

His wife had texted, "I love you sweetie."
as his heart was filled with glee.
Trying to respond, he didn't see
he would pay tribute to an oak tree.

She lives in highs and strange spaces

conducting disbelief like a prodigy

an abstract anxiety for her pause

She wears a thousand chemical faces

each mask fine tuned for fiction

disposition suggests life has no flaws

Somewhere in those pupils lies a person

weave through the vanity for a pure bewilderment

I see your hysteria lies in these monsters made mute

Those one sequestered away for the sake of breathing

these delusions dissected

these rabid renditions you call life

they can only perpetuate profound confusion

I see your mind broke before you had a chance for clarity

I now understand the shadows you call shade

an artificial sun was your only means for illumination

I now know you existed like so much obscurity digested

Another life casualty for the whirlpool

Another wonder wasted for the sake of exhaustion

Ay, mine eyes be such, the great admirer

Taking your words to heart?
Truly
Though, understanding them?

I believe i have a skewed view of the true layers hidden beneath the rows upon rows of your starlight garden.
I am but a bird above your garden, admiring the upper beauty shone brightly  in the starlight.
I have but the faintest clue about the memories and experiences that root so deeply into your poems,
Nor the meanings behind the words that hold the earth so tenderly.
Ay, mine eyes be such, the great admirer
But as the greatest trees stand tall in their royal crowning,  their historic roots support them whole heartedly, with their focus all upon the lifting of the grand finale.
Deeply do your roots reach down into thine heart. And deeply so.
For how can one reach the stars without a strong story below?
Ay, mine eyes be such, the great admirer.

I cannot be so bold as to claim to know what each poem means, for that would be to have lived in your story with each passing breath.
Nay, i can only express the emotions that these words give me in relation to mine own,
curiousity, like flower garden, grown.
Ay, mine eyes be such, the great admirer
My homage to a poet that to this day I still admire. May their life be filled with joy.
