Worn and Comfortable

-


You only believe what you don’t know—
the pen that I used to write,
the chair that I have sat on,
the life that has been lived.


I have known, and I have believed—
moments turning into
thoughts and memories.


To desire, to learn, to be better—
I believe.


What I know feels like little,
almost nothing—
and yet, to the observer
from the outside,
much has been gathered.


I believe  I know what I know.


But I only know
that was once my belief—
about me,
the world,
and this lonely planet.

Immersed under water, Immersed in a song, Immersed in a moment— oh, what took so long? Immersed in my thoughts, drifting from the reality beside me. Immersed in prayer, in devotion so deep. Immersed in you, bound to these feelings— I’ve never felt so free. Through the wormhole to infinity, I close my eyes… and at last, I see.

Verbal Masturbation

-
  A picture tells us nothing— not what is, not what was, not the smell, not the sound. A soul less glance at something, that something which, to some, is everything, and to an ascerbic man like me, is not anything. We smile. We pose ,in beautiful tailored clothes, against a beautiful background, I suppose, to look good for someone who knows very little of me— or how I feel about the world, about my life, about the heartfelt joys that survive through strife. I am a person. I have lived a life. Please— get to know the real me, not through a picture, not even through these words. Because in this shallow world of empty sight, every “like” on a photograph cuts—quietly— like a knife.

AN AUDIENCE OF ONE

-
An audience of one is what I seek, Into my soul I need to peek. Self reflection into a seemingly clean room , The rain washed sickness and an impending sense of doom. Shallow desires ,lust and greed, Is that What we always want or ever need? Confess to yourself as you look at yourself in the mirror , jump into those eyes and what do you see, You loved her yes but did you truly ? You loved her yes but did you so casually ? The growth of a man through heartbreak and pain , The universe brought you back to this juncture again. Close your eyes and take a deep breath , rid your soul of the poison, Let the anger die its death. The emotional roller coaster is quite the show, it’s for you to experience and not let anyone know, It’s for you to learn and understand , now ,where do you go?  Time is a friend , an enemy to the end  its time to face reality and end the show.
