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|

  1. 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. :)

Inside Your Hands

Parables fumble in unprepared hands| Deprived of gifts bestowed to thee| As humans we seek shelter beneath a tree| When our feet become weak| And our needs extend beyond our means| As rain pours| It cleanses our soul| Dormant ideas start to grow| Yet we turn a blind eye| To what's before our sight| Taking the easy way| Shunning plights| Fighting is not a physical ordeal| It's more of a rejection to extol the almighty rule| Exploring alternatives to fables disguised as facts| Letters shredded in half| Eulogies embedded on a golden calf| The story was written for you to digest| The ending inside your hands| Inside your thoughts is the rest|

I Walk Along The Road

I love nature bare| Bare as the bears searching the rivers for salmon| Bare as the deer roaming the woods| Crossing the street until that fatal accident comes in the form of the bright light it sees just before the light shatters into pieces and darkness takes hold of the scene| I walk the rocky road bare| To feel those rough edges caress my feet| I sleep with no tent| The leaves from the trees are all the shelter I need| No backpack hunching my back| I search and gather my meals to fill the nourishment of my needs| The stars lead my way| So I hunt for the night| Without a compass and follow the glitters in the sky| I don't boast about my accomplishment| Because I have yet to accomplish anything| The shared journey between my feet and I as I bare my soles into mud| And cuddle without awakening my desires| Allowing them more sleep before they awake me from my dreams| Love every inch of land like this were your holy land| Black Elk speaks from cr...

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...
