Inspired by two Neo's

Leaving the arena

Your words of disgust
germinate seeds in my minds eyes,
you want to end all strife,
my seeds have yet to burst.

So if a man's food,
is another’s' poison
both will have a different version,

the decision to do what one wants to do
it's up to each one of us including you too..

so don't run,
walk away
but in the larger picture of life do stay
someday, one day
you will remember what I say

LEGACY

LEGACY

I am my father's son.

I am my mother's child.

Nothing more. nothing less.

And who I have been

I will be through the end

and beyond,

I am in continuum.

Leaving The Stage

Stop the music!
I've grown weary of this dance.
The end is long overdue
It has shed all its fun

Sweet-honeyed lies,
fake whispers of affection
I bid all of them goodbye.
to focus my attention

I take a bow
Let the hypocrites mingle
I'm walking away now
to be free from their world

Let them have the stage
I refuse to dance again.
The rhythm of heartbreaks
only drives me insane.

I leave the stage
to embrace life
with wings of hope
to help me fly

Be worthy of yourself

Your worth lies not in your pocket,
it lies in your inner self,

what you feel you are,
you want to be
don't run after what others think
no guy is going to weep for thee
you shall have to shed tears alone
so shed your fears

guys only suck sugar cane
Bums, chums and any suckable thing
that one at them can fling

your worth is what you think
use imagination and think,

Two Uncomfortable Poems

-An Empty Revolver-

Wild Game...

Shadows run wild in the night
He goes with them hand in hand
Evil thoughts take off in flight
Spreading terror through the land

Nightmares ooze from a leaking brain
Footsteps echo to nervous ears
Blackened skies threaten rain
All this heightens latent fears

Now, he says; I've got the proper feel
I have added spice to life
It really makes for a better meal
When I finally use my knife

Quest ...your eyes......

Quest to see
your eyes......

I have seen many eyes
they speak nothing
but the truth

mine speak of love and youth..
my eyes
I thought were beautiful,
till I saw in her eyes so blue...
so lovely and so sparkingly true

the babe was tromping about...
as if in ones youth
the pet had eyes blue
better than mine
how glad I am
all now knew.
our eyes are blue

Alone

Damn you all to hell and back
I never really awoke
sleep toiled my night
I couldn't face the day
an eternal space in front of me

Crippling thoughts abounded
All truth just stung.
Everything was gone
what else could there be
A life without you
Nothing left for me

Time you say, just let it go
All those stupid words
from others only made it true
I didn't want to exist without you
Just leave me, don't you see?
I find nothing is fair to me.

Vertebrae
suspense
twisting like a bandage

your voice
buried in sleep
escapes with its key
unclasping locks

hushing forth
a moist jaunt

while further
farther the giant dream
stirs
and black mice
chase freedoms
frieze
down a mazes mirth

romance
dripped throttled flame
drown molten
amused

dead flowers
and day old
smiles
limp in the
mirrors
lucid
lure

Laptop Bugginess

FB bugginess getting me down
Putting viruses on my laptop
Adware spyware making me crash
My websites won't respond

Took a pill fell past asleep
While refreshing updating my computer system
Restart restart before I'm out
Woke up my laptop still restarting

A little computer rap, if you will
