The dichotomy of nature The duality of time We are frozen in the present Unperturbed by paradigms We are the nexus of disorder With complex, dynamic minds Opposite, attractive forces We are the neutrons in nuclei We are the equinox, the solstice We are everything in between We are all the colors in the spectrum We are the shadows that go unseen We are an infinite regression We are as finite as a dream We are a million shades of gray We are the singularity

As the breeze blows through the trees Mother Gaia, unleashed her sneeze And as it crosses the sea With such ease It finds its way towards me... I cling to the aroma Of summer, of autumn, of spring Like awakening from a coma As the songbirds poetically sing... I embrace the scents Of the moss... Of the flowers... Of everything... My senses, oh so acute I feel I'm in a dream In this awe-inspiring view This landscape, of the serene... But then the modern age appears I can hear it in the distance A cacophony fired upon my ears It makes me cringe... It makes me wince... It's the epitome of all my fears... The loggers and miners are coming Gaia's nemesis, has been summoned And there is no point of running Soon, this forest... Will be reduced... Into nothing... Forgive me, Mother For my species' greed Before we depart... I'll fill my pockets with seed... Know that I will hold you In my heart... And I will honour you... With my humble art

Eternal flame High beyond the sky, you fly Igniting the shadows With illumination that you bestow... You have earned your slumber tonight For where would we be, Devoid of the warmth of thee? Without photosynthesis, To forge the air we breathe? You need no creed, no dogma Or religious propaganda To seed the feed we need To proceed into conscious beings... Our symbiosis makes us one You are the brightest of the stars You are our cosmic candle You are our life-sustaining Sun

akira_akuma said: that is how i write too, most often. sometimes i'll literally write things down and arrange it later, and mostly it's always from the same stream of thought, generally, other wise i just write it off, and save it for later (the line or whatever).
that works too.

i think the best is the other way, but i don't sit down often and write out a poem like a story or anything...mostly if the dedicate some time to it it'll be a generative burst, but depending on that it might just be generally fanned out through a bit for some time, i might come back and tweak it a bit (daammn);--- though the best way is through a long sustained effort of writing a genuine narrative into more extended burst;----- if you wish you can contract the lines into a waveform like through soundwaves man;-- you can breath in with words in your hand and formation occurs, and you can breath out a mountain which you can also, if you can combine all these efforts & accordance's in place, trace an epic poem leading out into of sweet nothingness.
the sloughing effort.
What you say really makes a lot of sense to me! Wise words and I will do well to keep it in mind. I need to experiment and evolve to a higher degree. For years I was just writing song lyrics and writing music for some of them on my guitar. Trying to write poetry is different though.

Adrift in the abyss A rift dehisced As my bliss went amiss, Signed and sealed With a cosmic kiss... My spirit set sail into the void And hitched a ride on a passing asteroid... To find a new home In the darkness that I roam With nary a photon Or inter-stellar liaison To show me the way, To glow again today... Destination unknown A vacation, Into the twilight zone I wait for the day To sate in my new abode

It's a battle of the spirit A war within the mind Every day that passes I die a bit more inside The sorrow is ubiquitous As if hope is now iniquitous And try as i might I'll never win the fight... My biggest mistake Was just being myself Apparently only fakes Can progress, in this hell Conformity is the new harmony Those inside the box sing Critical thinking and empathy Has made me lose everything... Soul doubt hit me hard Sold out like a rock star I wish I could be dumb Maybe then I could be numb Ignorance is bliss Love is an abyss I should probably force myself To stop giving a shit Maybe then I will get ahead And transcend This omnipresent dread... It was fun while it lasted But now I'm flabbergasted Perhaps I should do a 180 Maybe then I will find peace Thoughts in my head, so weighty I just want them to cease It hurts, and it sucks But why should I give a fuck? Nobody else does And they all seem so happy Can somebody please Give me a frontal lobotomy So I can be happy too...

You paint like the wind blows With timeless skill and passion I met you through the paintings hung Such expertise in fashion
With time I put your face to name Met at last the famous artist When such a lovely time you bring To say goodbye is hardest
But time will find our reunite Im sure ill see you often Take good care, and craft some more! Walls plead your brushes soften
(My girlfriends sister wanted a poem, so I wrote her this. Shes very sweet and cute, she loved it. Shes got an innocent crush on me )
That's beautiful, dude.

Oh, thou great placebo Remedy of broken hearts Extract of the abstract Catalyst of endearing art... A romantic notion A phantom emotion That cannot be weighed, Conveyed, nor surveyed... Indeed... Can it even be real? "Of course it is" Many say, with such zeal... But I'm a man of science Evidence, is my only reliance... And this word Has only brought pain It's so absurd And utterly insane... So many use it So many abuse it So many confuse it So many refuse it... Its definitions are so variable No other word is comparable... Some mean it Some need it Some fiend it Some dream it... But honestly What the fuck... Is this thing... They call "Love"

She lit the sky on fire Radiating her desire Burning my eyes, Igniting my soul A friendly reminder I do admire...
Twinkle twinkle little star I know you are A pulsar And I'll be happy When I'm dead But you're already Light-years ahead of me...
She set the sky ablaze With electromagnetic waves And dances amongst the cosmic rays Waiting for the day When I decay And we meet again To dance In the celestial ballet

Her spirit shines... In a trance, I'm hypnotized Trying to read the signs, The constellations That sparkle within her eyes Subtle and sublime, My Earthly worries subside And fade away As night turns to day Her spirit shines Brighter than a billion suns Falling from the sky, As the photons ride Along my war-torn spine Her spirit shines As the stars align A spectral beauty I'm unable to define

A philosophy based on fear A hypocrisy laced with despair A doctrine of the insane That's mocking logic's name Controlling your thoughts, Folding them in knots Distorting your reality Thwarting your morality An addiction of pure fiction, A mission of sure infliction A restriction of all decision, An affliction we call religion

Singularity, the seed of creation Followed by a caustic inflation What a sensation, A universal manifestation... Had begun... Born as a pure energetic state Things cooled down And continued to inflate... Quarks combined and further refined, Sub-atomic particles Have now been defined... No need for intelligent design, Merely the cry of Nature's hot mind Soon after, the first atoms spawned, Germinations in the great cosmic pond... The forces divided As inflation subsided Hydrogen has now glided Where the void had resided... It was beautiful...
Electro-static charges made clumps, That's when gravity said "That's enough, I'll take it from here, my dear... You've been ever so gracious..." Then things got more spacious And the clumps continued to grow
Magnetic fields, Made hydrogen glow... Matter and energy Now overflowed... The first quasars began to show... So awe-inspiring... Amidst the galactic storm The first stars were being born... Stellar fusion makes them roar As photons soar from the core... Soon, new elements shall form... They burn with such brilliant light Critical mass, is coming in sight... And like a candle in the night They ignite... ever so bright... It's supernova time! Again and again... Stars are born and die, Seeding the sky As new elements fly In omni-directional lines... The ingredients are all there We are finally here The final epoch, draws near... Floating on the galactic shore, A spiral arm beyond the core... Suspended... In time and space... Gaia, Now shows her face Orbiting a yellow sun... Eons pass as she slowly evolves, Volcanically active, as she revolves... More eons pass, as the fire dissolves.. Finally... Land and see... And atmosphere... For us to breathe... Abiogenic processes take hold, Earth, is now billions of years old... Self-replicating cells Mutate and grow In the organic well... It's almost our turn... Variables and distinctions, So many mass extinctions... All played a part, In Nature's magic art, And purely by chance And atomic romance... So chaotically derived... Humans... Had finally arrived.

The planet we inhabit Is an oblate sphere, Nitrogen and Oxygen Color the air, The atmosphere is near But just out of reach, We're forbidden by the gravity That grabs us by our feet The stars gaze upon us With both pity and glee The world keeps on spinning Being destroyed by monkeys In the void it shines bright A beautifully crafted blue gem White clouds shroud the darkness, The despair that lives within
