Just A

Just A
6-14-2011

just
a
cheek
sticking
out

just
a
voice
ringing
loud

just
a
body
quite
voluptuous

just
a
wonderful
woman
laughing

a
just
world
where
I am free

I
am
alive
along stolid
arms

just-
ice
served
warmly
beside me

I
feel
the
ages pass
me by

I
am
a
cheery
soul

the
precipice
is
never
far down

somedays,
time
couldn’t
go
slower

at
the best
of times,
couldn’t
go faster

every day
is a good
day
a good
day to die

today
(caught myself)
brooding
(taught the self)
to lean and smile

it
seems
the sad
parts
come often

all too
often
the good
ones pass
bye

but these
are
glorious
days,
and many (are they)

glorious
in
every sense
of the
word

Lovely Years


Lovely Years
Insp. Ahmad - Back In The Day, Sharam feat. Cudi - She Came Along
6-13-2011

I didn't think that I
would
love
again

Phrases repeated
for days
a "I love you"
many ways

Things forgot
things remembered
moving
on

missing
her presence,
spending time-
pleasant

to take her
around
the
world

are there people
you would
spend time
for a while

people you couldn't
imagine anywhere else (but here)
spots unfilled,
happiness continues

friends, we will see again
someday
maybe not here, not now
somedays

i'm glad
that I forget
or else become
overwhelmed

pictorially
every image burnt on eyelid
thank god
for subconscious

every path taken
leads to another
our ways diverge
sentiments merge

we will call upon our fellows
and bellow,
"how well spent-
those lovely years!"

Wiiide

Wiiide
6-1-2011


Smiling like an ocean wide
Crisp paper sends me aflight
The planes wings
My feathery wings

Soar like a spirit
Soar
Like a spirit
Soar

And some tell of mold
While secret inner is unbold
Lest they should perk up
Chronos lilts softly

With blood from his mouth
Smiling around the rim
He tells me
He ate all his children

But a man climbed from the gape
To reveal the bloody nurturant rape
Of family, too young to escape
Gods like creatures, men or animals ripe

Oh the lust
And bloodthirsty rust-ic brood
Fuses bust
Families turn on each other rude

But hope-
That suffering will elope,
Like a cascading breeze
Lifting me from knees

And the last whisper
Like the pages unfold when crisper-
To rule the day, not rue
And all misfortune undue

Twer’ the happiest sound
Of the pony unladen!
Twer’ the joy abound
Elated when laid in
