do we forget those who offer humanity
the abundance is left
to set a model
for those who quest in captivity
there's never a mode for normal
never a road to that calls their name
yet the things of this earth bring them to fame
set in the record books
all for being a relatable consequence
but those who slip under the radar
have all the more to live for
lighter than those set in stone
delightfully looking at the world without scrutiny

 
theres a gurgle starting to boil. you think I can make it?
a new world will soon be under my feet.

Getting ready to jump ship.... E.T.A: Wendsday 22:50,  Destination: Bangkok

Monday, July 12, 2004

Yes, I do take baths every so often. And these were written in one:

Rose in Winter

Have you ever seen a rose’s bloom in winter?
The petals doesn’t ask for any warmth to survive
Yet winter will melt its own beauty
For another’s to last but one more day
This is the generosity and sacrifice of our mothers

Returning Home

If you ask me how I can easily forget the worries of this world
I will ask how you can forget the beauty of this world
And if in the moment you cannot feel bliss
Then you must take another chance at life
If you said I had cancer
I would say there is not a dark spot on my inside
And if you ask for but one word from above,
Or a hand to gently guide into the unknown
Then you may never learn
Just as fathers must let go of their children
When they first want freedom on two wheels
It is the trust and faith of our father,
That we might willfully turn around and come back one day

It was raining so hard that I put on my bathing suit to go to the grocery store....

Worry Me Not

Let men hand me troubles so that I would steep it for tea
Grind up worries so that they may add fluff to bake
I need not my schedule for another morrow’s dance
Everywhere I follow the holes in the clouds
Where rays stride through and reach from heaven
Just to golden my hair and lighten my step
So let me boil mountain waters
And gain nutrients to fast by, through this tea
I would not go without knowledge
However, I can devour terror at my doorstep
Do we need so many canopies to protect us from above?
What causes us pain but men walking without love
There is no fear of monsters to the blind
All is unknown, yet it is easy to discover
Hear but to listen for the first time
Unplug your ears from the sockets your neighbors
Do you forget, we all grow upwards
When an apple is plucked from the boughs
Does the tree miss the fruit as its child
Or does it just feel one apple lighter
If all mankind were fat and full it would still produce
Because our hunger is beyond the fruit of this earth




How is love able to break hearts yet mend them at the same time?

what is it about dried fruit and trail mix that makes me feel invincible, man i could live years off of bananna chips.
Just lean back and exhale, now take it all in:

(Your Name) Was Here

You can wear what you want to wear; the colors don’t show your soul
The tighter the clothes the tighter the mold
You can eat what you want to eat; it will all just put your spirit to sleep
What about the way we do our hair and the makeup for streetwalkers
Humans about
Once made, set a will
One OM spoken can set possessions free
Yet we discover arrows
For pleasure to poke
A collection of worn converse is a photo album
Of past days walking, dirt-grass-gravel-the works
I never knew what we leave behind for others to collect
Gum to stick me on the ground for serenity now
Humans in bliss
Forget to kiss their father
Know only their worth via a wallet
Count your shoes to know not enough
Miles to wear them
If indeed you scuff your ego sometimes, this is life
For there is not enough money to pay off regret
I’d rather go the distance and never come back
Than to hear the stories of homecomings that had never left
Humans aloof
Pondering which day they’ll die
Buy ten calendars to think they have time
A stone statue in the park
Keeps but a memory alive

Begotten

Love is liquid warmth, and I shall drink it to my death
With a passion no less than a volcano’s fragrance
And as pressured as a tsunami collapsing the innocence
Our bodies have nothing to do with beauty
The Daughters of Delphi descend from the Pleiades
And yet my closed eyes still feel the bliss
This energy has conquered me

Forlorn Forever

What makes the world go round, when there is so much resistance?
What I’ve always wanted is to do away with the wax truth
To be humble and help by sweating inside the brow
No tangibility makes me secure
A quick drop and I’ll be on my knees
Not for subdues
Forlorn forever with a smile on my face
Why do good things happen to good people when they don’t even need it?
It’s different when you find out that your boyfriend was your mother
In a another life
How about it now, this orange robe covers more than head to toe
With shrubs as my shrine and sunshine that lasts into the night
Where is the food for an empty heart,
But in a chest that’s always pierced
Love flows out into my begging bowl
To quench the dry mouths of those who have talked with me
Miles and time run circles hand in hand
Until someone steps in and gives time a rest
Then we all are able to do what we want
And what we’ve wanted we already got.
Is there something wrong with me
That I fall in love with everyone I see
Behind dark glasses or in plain sight
The eyes define a gateway where I fall every time
Why do I drink bitterness for a feeling of future happiness?
I do not suffer when a thief steals, but I am weighted moreover
For a soul that does not understand
I would give all but they still shall not smile
And they still would ask for a glass of water
If I had to wring my throat dry
All would receive enough to be satisfied
Therein lies the goblet
Where the son of man shared with twelve men
And indeed liquefied reality that night
For the world was waiting on just a drop
But it got an ocean for the future to swim
There, I pray, is hope left
One man can act for a billion
And still have time to watch the foliage unfold

"Speach is mearly for the convenience of those who cannot hear"
-Henry David Thoreau-
Free Freedom

Well don’t disguise, I can read
Free is in its name, we all can see
wisest is he who puts down his gun
and saves two souls instead of shooting at one
yet another man will send someone to heaven
before he will ever get the chance
why cant we see, all this fighting
can never set us free, its not the meaning of free
and if we find foreign men outside
yelling for someone else’s freedom
then ask them why they eat before you
ask them why they sleep in better beds
while your dreams have been found missing their heads
steel makes up cells, yet it claims to free as well?
don’t let them tell you what to believe
never let a stranger speak for your family
what we need to be wondering
instead of who might be the enemy
is where they’ve hidden freedom
its nowhere to be seen
free freedom, before it looses it wings
free freedom, before it forgets how to sing
free freedom, it will know what to do
free freedom, with it you can not loose
some people say that freedom isn’t free
but I disagree, we all deserve to be free
it is definitely worth fighting for
but when you have to fight those
who claim to fight for freedom
then it is a self defeating war
we are no better off than before
so step back and inspect
the motives that involve men and their money
for one country cannot see well the borders of another
and can only act but with its own head
when one family can go out and play
on a green lawn waving to the neighbors
how can they know the right words to say
on matters of fellow men
who fear walking by their windows
because their neighbors were crying yesterday
I cannot vote for an army of my countrymen
to give back a country to its own citizens
by taking force against them
while shooting at the people to keep them safe
what sense does this make
when death can protect our children
from suffering a long life
who is a traitor against their birthright
when we give freedom on paper
and keep it safe in a cage
free freedom, before it looses it wings
free freedom, before it forgets how to sing
free freedom, it will know what to do
free freedom, with it you can not loose
