A Delusion of Life

Among the delirious delusions that 
are taking advantage of a defenseless mind,
the insoluble burning began after stumbling
upon an island of uneasiness.

Though a dream,
a breathing spell in the midst of an
empty room would be proven insignificant,
especially within the melody that is heard
composed of confusion and offensive descants.

A lean and arrogant man,
with poisonous words leaking from dry lips,
becomes the master of communication;
a pride won by a mere misrepresentation and
irresistible, meaningless conversation.

It was during this time that a familiar
melancholy swept over me like a harsh wind
from a hurricane above the sea.

Yet, still, I still wonder what emotions mean to me.

Supposedly, it is nature’s snapshot of
cheap features trying to generate a luxurious image.
On the contrary,
perhaps that is Mother Nature`s intensions.
Still, disappearing and reappearing
within the margins of my mind
creates the scraps of conversation
and dim satisfaction.

The lies,
The passion,
The intolerable bitterness,
The futility,
The small, trivial aspects of this life
creates a halo of smog from a
chain of cigarettes and pollution.

I've always been irritated by the complacent
remorse that a ripple of a stream of consciousness,
a few healthy accusations,
and a dash of naivetés will chemically and automatically
produce a human being.

Reflections On a Window

The opaque glass keeping the air trapped
not letting any unidentifiable things enter,
has finally cracked leaving a thin line of
reconsideration and resentment.

I am now distorted,
A misrepresentation that has been
Twisted into a crooked image.
Making sense of this situation seems more
Natural than supernatural but
I never enjoyed mixing lights and darks
When washing away the dirt left from the day before.

This silhouette, however, makes me wonder
What exactly is confined within this window.

It's not me.
I definitely don't have that physical appearance
Of green eyes, brown hair
And uncontrollable debates of
Escaping or staying.

I know I cannot be restrained within this opening,
Being in limbo within this dream,
Lingering in this mental constipation.
This puts a single thought in my mind that
Maybe enough light did not come through.

Then, a reunion has commenced.
It is here that I realize there are moments when I miss you.
On the contrary, I reconsider the person in the window,
Stuck inside, but in all sincerely has no interest in
Wanting to come out.

Where Am I Going?










                 

The narrow streets
that create this country,
is what really gave the intriguing desire
that was needed to live 
within this unique environment.

It's beauty, even the "taken for granted"
roads that are used after a
long working day, is still beautiful.
Whether or not you can see it,
Whether or not you want to see it,
Whether or not you just want to forget life itself,
I have no advice for you.

Just open your eyes, see the beauty of it.
I ask for this simple task only
because I cannot see everything you do.

I can only see things I wish I couldn't.
These things can only be narrowed down:
Humans, narrow streets, and death

Keeping it Together


The idea of it seemed easy
but I soon acknowledge 
that the complexity was
what intrigued me. 
I studied it,
thought I could grasp it
but I never did.
No, not really...
Only a sip of it;
the smudginess of it;
the wanting to open presents before 
christmas eagerness of it.
In actuality,
I never understood how
it could be more than whole,
but the wholeness itself was
the luxury of the idea,
the idea that the halves
are the ones that hold you 
in half.
I didn't know,
don't know about the 
in between bits and pieces;
the savage bits of you,
the violent bits of me.
