passion eviction

prepared for the end of year
across the months
some on this day and a bit on sunday
should have seen the change
in where our devotion is directed
outside is where the momentum is calling
normal is a myth of society law
ending when the first warrior is
voted into power
if you blame something besides yourself, you admit
controlling yourself is not what you do
there is a weakness if you blame and don’t own up
include everyday in your list of gratefulness
only if you lose diligence do you become cruel
nobody can make me a mean person anymore

empathy required

every day something else
makes me aware of the aches of the world
part of my amazement
always revolves around people
that cannot think of anyone besides themself
having the ability to feel for others
years ago was not quite so difficult
right now it is a dying skill and
empathy and apathy are diseases fighting
quietly allowing people’s kindness to perish
under the flames of big business and media
in the eye of glowing cold unfeeling blue screens
red sky from burning forests and water disasters
each day we are braced for new
drama thrust upon our shoulders by societal life

opportunity tested

our dreams are like
playing with water balloons while
pacing back and forth on hot coals
out in the rest of the world we
realize how important the little things are
there are only so many
useable deeply important moments in a life
never can tell when those minutes arrive
inside our existences we know
those who are meant to impact will do so because
young and old all get the same hours in a day
times when people are meant for you become obvious
ever been so aware of time it becomes annoying?
still feel like you are always late for something
tasting the ability to plan without being driven crazy
evolve and embrace the
devotion that you should recieve

announced better

across the land
near the ocean or by the mountains
nobody has a life that is without struggle
over all minds is this ability to
use your will power to persevere
now is the time to start a chain of
compassion to help those in need
end this tragedy by doing what is required
being open and kind to others
everyone is going through thier own troubles
take the time
to appreciate all these other lives
even when you are alone
remember the trials we all share

process happening

play the game like everyone else
recognize that it isn’t hard to help
only the most sturdy minds
can bring other people up while plunging their depths
endure and include while securing the anchor
storms exist for all of us
some people handle stress a lot better than others
happiness is often a one sided coin to
all of those more in tune with the mysteries of life
people also know that they care about themselves
perhaps if they don’t then nobody else will
eden is just another
name for being completely at peace within yourself
if you get a chance to reach out
never lose sight of the help you can give people
go forth and share your elation

eternal alone time

either its too late at night or
that is the blue of morning
entering in slowly at evening’s end
raising the cup with the gradual grace and
nearly finished pausing the energies once more
as these minutes expire like unwatered plants
leftover time used to input ideas and
ashes and dirt twisting circles in the breeze
like the severe weather the coast is being punished by
opportunities which happen after the worst terrors
nestled deep in the mind is the last study
empty of sound but full of knowledge
there are hours when the final minutes matter most
in truth, the time spent doing what you love
makes every other part of life bearable
emotions can change an entire person

required request

remind, enjoy, destroy
endure the reflection of yourself
quit the preparing and escape
unless these expectations are met
imply that where you are at is just fine
roast in the heat as you travel
entire conversations with yourself are
desired just to get intelligent talk
red little tomato hanging on a vine doesn’t
even know its life is about to end
questioning your existence is
use less until you know who you really are
eventually the anxiety and dark thoughts join in
some people feel like that is slipping in a comfy bath
there is comfort after becoming used to it for so long

redeem controlling

repeat myself or just know to
enter the room and gauge things before
doing an activity or starting a conversation
empty rooms are sometimes a relief and
every hour is
marked by pain i do not define
could be my heart but i
only can compare if it was something i felt before
not once have the hurt you caused
taken a moment of your time to make you stop and think
return to the past is nothing you would consider
originally you were the most helpful sort
like a vacation received in surprise that
lets me know how little caring is there
inside the morning the world smiles back because
nothing can bring me down anymore
gifts and time that are not even asked for

building attention

behind my eyes i saw
until i wanted to really know
it was when she took my shirt
letting me know it would never be mine
definitely surprised when she asked me
if i would give her my everything and i
never should give that to her again
gave her my ring that i had purchased
and knew i would never get it back
then i achieved a place for us
to live and her design for a room was good
every time i caved in
never insulted her or put her down once
then in return i get treated like
i should smile
only when i have seen through it all
nobody sees me like her sky does

resist operator

red in the air as our
empty times shine and we
show the sky our faces and our smiles
indigo drapes over the trees as we
sit and show a few good moments to the breeze
talk about how the water sounds feel
open the jacket and observe the birds
pick up a rock and throw it for no reason
each end of the day sits like this
run down the hill and jump in the water
ask for one more can to drink
then watch that sun go on down
off in the distant hills the moon rises slow
right now could last forever and we would not mind
