    The Tazmanian Bluejay: done, right? Hopefully

    A hopefool monster -
    an idiot, a beast
    a broken man striving for peace,
    attempting mindful understanding, of
    scattered insights, moments, people.

    A sad soul, filled
    with dreams, ambitions, goals... to
    alleviate the world, of...
    the hell I suffer through.

    A wandering soul, lost
    looking for a permanent remedy  
    to elevate the operating memory
    into never forgetting
    this truth:

    we're all in this together;
    even through unpredictable weather.
    I hold you, like there is no other
    attempting to save our dying mother.

    Her will speaks to thee; can you hear it?
    Sounds like it's saying - "remember me;

    I'll hold you down, if you hold onto me.
    As your mother, there's nothing more I'd like to see
    than all my children, interacting separately
    living, respecting each other
    in balanced harmony ...

    Mountain Top

    Come with me so we can
    Fly, and see
    higher than any mountain, 
    could ever be, glaciers don't 
    Compare, to you, and me 
    What we share, and 
    our desire to be
    Everest can't 
    top you, and me
    K2 second place
    Just checked 
    that can't be
    Crumbled, Melted
    Rubble, no chance, 
    our fault - block, 
    used Volcanic rock,
    that does not 
    Sway, wobble, or 
    Shake from shock 
    Higher than any terrain
    Of earth rocks or pain
    Our mountain top
    Will remain.

    Sometimes

    Sometimes you have to walk the edge
    Sometimes you must stand on the brink
    Before you can start to rebuild your life.

     

    Sometimes you have to lose everything 
    Sometimes you must start from the very beginning 
    Before you can recover 
    Before you can restart

     

    Life is a rollercoaster with many ups and downs
    You need to roll with the tide when it comes
    Never give in
    Never give up
    No matter what life throws your way

    Love

    Love today
    will it consume me,
    and make me touch heights,
    of wild, and bloomy
    Should I let it do this anyway,
    or keep the heart locked
    Release it what may,
    the key could unlock it
    On this or anyday
    I think I may let love stay, and
    consume me each day,
    letting it feed my soul,
    correct level of pay
    It's long overdue, anyway
    Let's keep loving for today,
    then I will be set to stay
    Consumed in love everyday
    Afloat on cloud nine hooray,
    regardless of the level of pay,
    so long as my heart is loved,
    and opened anyway,
    unlocking it
    You will not have to pay,
    only a true heart, come what may,
    will have the key, to open without delay 

    nourishing every single day,
    What a joy hooray.

    Drinking contest

    2 competitors
    100 shots of whiskey each
    One by one
    They down their glass
    Until one of them
    Falls on their ass



    Words get said
    Words are slurred
    Some words are not even heard

     

    Still they go
    One after the other.
    Drunken and sad
    Shot after shot
    Until one passes out

    Choking infinity


         
        Infinity is still waving but consciously playing with me! I'm tensed in as a toddler with a small child. I would love to caress the cheers rose finger of mornings to protect blankets - who will be able to kiss a redeeming healer on the cracked wounds of my lips?! Tamed into a tamed Hermit by this vile, interested Age with vile lies, which are not authentic! Even conciliatory serenity rarely surprises me when you can sit on my crusty heart with a few good words! The horror-like Fate is a present horror image: as a hard hard-headed, I rarely dare to listen to his words as a novice! Choke, killer Night is bribing me! I would seek refuge if I knew and know about myself: I could be happier if I let the spark-igniting joys of this Being surprise me even more mischievously!
         
        On the drift of my prisoner's days, it hangs between gaps - without safety ropes - I hang on...

    SOLIVAGANT

     I'm still alive

     

    Just to fly , above the skies.

     

    Don't wanna trapped in this truth and lies .

     

    This world is chained by chains of hate .

     

    Which can e broken by only hope and faith .

     

    I want to wander under this thunder.

     

    In this world of outlandish.

     

    Cause I'm a solivagant

     

    Trap me in this second.

     

    I wanna live this moment

     

    forever.

     

    This beautiful butterfly

     

    Flying under the sky

     

    Give a hope that i can fly .

     

    This magical angelic rain.

     

    Pures the blood in my veins

     

    I can't live in this world smithereened.

     

    Where memories are c...

    Nostalgic affection

     

    The brief look from you became that dreamy cloud,

    free of prejudice in silence, not as my usual mental loud.

    I knew that I will find refuge in your loving harmony,

    feelings when sentiment in words are lost with certainty.
    The image of colorful fragrance, taste and familiarity,

    trusting portal of expanding imagination and its clarity.

    Enchanting third dimensions and subtle inner region,

    preciousness changes the heart and sincerities legion.

    The longing that discovers new wings of beauty,

    when mental eye speaks that touch of selfless duty.

    Dissolving virtue in that light of pure reflection,

    rising waves of desire and change of sphere detection.

    Dewdrops on a flower for a hungry soul and mind,

    I have known you from a previous life, sort of kind.

    The answer of that vision proofs itself by filling the dots,

    loving promise awak...

    Sunset

    The sun sets over the ocean 
    Blue
    Red
    Yellow 
    Orange 
    Purple 
    Like the paintbrush stroke from a master painter

     

    The sun sets over the ocean
    You can almost hear the hiss
    As the sun "touches" the water
    Upon the horizon 

     

    The sun sets over the ocean 
    The stars come out
    The moon rises
    Night has fallen
