I believe in the flow of water on the palm
As a person pursued pauses by a stream
Before they must cross it
Sustaining and forbidding, the cold creature
That pricks her senses, suspended by apprehension,
So they sparkle again with hope that she cannot hold
If she is to cross this stream and survive
But forever she will remember the time
When time stopped and she held sweet cruelty
In her own hands, for once
And gave it back to the earth where it belonged
Before she continued on, down the stream
And her pursuers, unmoved, paced straight past,
Raced straight through the water bridge

I believe the world is a solemn stone face,
and that all humans can do, is add makeup and paint.

Beneath what lines we curve, or shades we make,
still stares the silent solemn stone face.

You or I could paint over an eye, and fill it with anger and hate,
But no such sin truly comes, from the solemn stone face.

So friend, know that the world is whatever you make,
But understand, that no matter what, it still doesn’t change.

I couldn’t think of a name…

The cures are locked away somewhere,
but nobody dares to touch them.
and the scientist have time to spare
as the cancer makes them millionares.
and the presidental’s watchful eye
plots yet again another disguise
Of war and havoc on innocent souls
While he’s raking in the dough
Soldiers fight a sensless war
For oil in a foreign land
while underneath our feet
lies the same liquid fossil
And wind, water, light and corn
can be substituted.
But due to our too busy schedules
and lack of precious time
As we go from day to day
Living to work,
Living to pay.
without enough time to watch the news
So the world remains the same

It’s April first,
I think it’s a good time to try this out.
I want to better my writing.
Opinion please?

I suppose
I may be thinking
A bit too hard, but
As I sit here
I can’t help but ponder on
The subject of…
Belief
For as I sit here
Thinking in ink
I cannot reach far enough
to grab a hold of
and thoroughly percieve…
Belief
Because as I sit here
My mind is blank
For I cannot fill the empty
With faith in truth
And truth in heart
A dedication to…
Belief
A dedication I lack

Take my hand as I hold yours
And we shiver at the thought
Of what awaits behind closed doors
The prospect of getting caught.
The sentence you start, I will complete
Our dreams unfurl in tandem
The walls around us may be neat
But our meeting wasn’t random.
I believe the world’s self-wound
I believe in old and new
I believe all things come unbound
But mostly, I believe in you.

a fascination of
an air filled balloon
carried aloft dantily
by hot wilfold hand
a basket of dreams
dispel the beauty
of heavens creation
God, i do beleive

I believe the chemicals may
be messing with our minds -
I mean, the way the
colouring in bath foam
fools us into a blue lagoon,

or ticklish on the tongue
citrus mouthwash mimics
sun-kissed skins of seville oranges
sneezing fragrant juices
when they’re cut

as if paradise is
only ever here and now
in the bathroom
and nothing left to strive for
except more of the same.
