Flesh and light Bone and stone Are same, similar; a synonym Of everything
I gazed into the night Fragmented by the city lights Knifing the dreams dead in their tracks
Scalped thoughts Hanging from the cumerbund Of the comedian Laugh with the wind
There is no framework for fame Nietzsche is not a name And all that I know of shame Came from the fingers that blame; Et tu? Fuck you Bad words don’t exist At all For thoughts know not their origin But only the sin Of being The way they are
Broken mirrors Cannot mend the man And broken man Never has a mirror
Everything is going to disappear soon And the leftover void shall know There is nothing known as nothingness For even in silence the silence shall grow
I find poetry as a gentle reminder, a medium to relay and dwell upon all things considerate people find inconsiderate. Poetry as an art is akin to a lamp or a magnifying glass. It trails volumes of meaning behind obscure, vague words. I have been writing for a time now, and intend to do so for the time to come. And hopefully, hopefully, hope that one day, someday, a person stumbling across this veil of words, find it alluring enough to shift aside the curtain and peer, into the eyes of the naked truth which sways with the wind of reason. If you have any thoughts, it would be my pleasure to know them, if you don't then it would be a pleasure to not. Be my guest. This feast of words is for you.
