Beauty In The Pages Of A Book


I seem to get lost in this world and find a world filled by words|

conjoined to form an image|

An adventure in a landscape far away|

Where I escape this land to navigate a page|

From morning 'till dusk and not a sound escapes these lips|

In this barren land created by another for me to explore|

The loneliness I struggle with in my life gets pushed back|

As I play the role of the protagonist and the diminutive backdrop|

In sagas of life without rules|

A moment of flips and stagnant gazes|

As we relive our memories against the backdrop of these pages|

Let this curiosity and anticipation for the future never depart|

Fighting to close a chapter|

I am left with three words to prolong the hope for this moment to never lose its course|

An awakening to secrets once left in between a shelf in the up-most layer is reached|

To behold the cryptics of a life once left out in cold|

And held bound|

Now forgotten in dust|

Hidden in the darkness of exclusion|

Somewhere the composer is once again revived|

Then shown the door as the transition from necessity to luxury takes a hold|

And a sapling heart becomes digital|

The feel|

The grasp|

You once recited over now fingertips slide over|

And batteries become the new life supporter|

    I love the world created by words in a book, and here in your words it is easy to be inside another world that you have written. :)

High-Class Noon

I turn my tongue green with a pint of mint listerine. A blistered knee. Eyes bleed from the passing of a centipede. Don't stand close to me I erupt in a millisecond, conforming into a catholic priest. I stand high underground. The sounds of an orchestra swimming in the mud with the sounds of an orca. I boast I had it all, but now I can only hope that they don't take away my last adderalls. Don't test with a number 2 pencil, give me a red pen so I can pencil him in. And they call me a backpacker. Hike up your mountain till I find the erupting fountain and go for a deep sea dive, only to come back to land in the space of a spaceship, blasting off with my sins. High-class noon, blast off past the moon with a fork and a spoon, I went too far; now I need to rewind so I can get my piece of the cake, in a cheesy plate. Its an arms race to the finish line, my A.K. is too heavy to glide across, I could only make it past half of the track. I had to make a pit stop and grab my Tech ...

Trapped in Dissolution

Her ability to feel no longer lingers from her inner chest| Replaced with an emotionless sense of the world around her steps| Instead of looking up she sees only the ground| Not the faces which once laughed and smiled| She built her own road to walk on| But nothing in the background| No grass| No trees| Only a deep black screen| Static hides the image| I once dreamt of where she would end| On a road with no hope| A slope hill heading down towards the abyss| I once heard laughter and joy created from those lips| Anger took her soul and wrapped itself around her shoulders never to let go|

Excavating Thoughts

Excavating thoughts purge the deep swell in an abundant forest filled with catacombs| Think not of what to say| Rather| Think of formations and placement for your words| The expression expedite hidden phrases| A realm in multitude of scenic shades| Which fill stains and covers from edge to edge| Put in motion a rehearsed visual| Captured for later interpretation and judgement| A glory outdrew| A painting foreseen inside that thought| Once emerged from a projector working its way from picture to sound| From sound to dialects| From dialects to expression| From expression to memorized interpretations or unsightly inked writings| Exclusive to emotional reincarnations| Contemplation and relegation amount heavy loads| To collapse the foundation in which laid heavy groundwork| Obscure water waves regulate the sounds of prejudgments| Before seen in the obscurity of the themes| Awake from the thankfulness of your mind| And enter into the depths of the b...
