The one thing I never miss is the silence of midnight and beyond, the humans are sleeping.

The moons pull suffocated my madness tonight. A weeks worth of up and downs, stress, and mayhem. All washed away in a moment, fishing didn’t hurt either. I figured I’d write about it which is rare lately.

The solemn scent of humble waters slightly whispered across my face.

Scents of hardwood burning in fire pits floating across the lake.

The calm inside is rarely known but for tonight I’d like to take it home.

I’ve fallen in love with silence and yes it’s as rare as gold.

We grind ourselves to dust just to find a piece of a rotting pie.

We will do our best to make sure the ones we love will strive.

Our rough edges filed down by clapping waters which surround.

The night air is brisk , cool but yet mentally so very profound.

I can only wish life was as calm as this simple moment.

If I could pull the moon from the sky I’d definitely love to own it.

Yet we must remember it’s just a quiet reflection of the sun.

And when the madness starts again you get burned like everyone.

So take those moments and lock them away in memory.

So you can reflect on precept and how you want life to be.

As my homie Joe says, “I’m not here for a long time, I’m here for a good time” cheers! 🍻

I hate the madness that encompasses my mind, I’ve always had these general ideas of love and hate that helped to define what I kept inside. Over time it tore away at reality as much as I wanted it to be true or false. I was in love either way held by voice or pulse. I should have known where my love lied, but you’ll never know how hard love can lie, it’s misrepresented and told to call it’s home, it’s the fucking ditch that you could call your own. It’s crazy to love yourself and hate the rest at the same time. Give me the madness I love to hate so true, I wish it wasn’t but I am a lover this heartbreak is not so new. I want to be left alone, and then I may find peace in the silence. Or someone who wants the same. A riddle and a reminder that we are all a little lonely.

The sun goddess

Her love was the morning sun Gentle, caressing imparting life. Her kiss gleaming on green bladed tips. The softness of her song rising in mist Her wrath the afternoon blaze Raging, violent, blistering the world Relentlessly Suffocating everything within range The virulence of her presence blinding the weak Her silence on the face of the moon A welcome darkness creating peace. A reserved reflection of what was to come. The twilight a reminder she encompasses all

OLD AF

From the hallowed halls of dingy carpet and broken trashy cardboard doors.

Ashtrays overflowing in conversation that never had worth.

Our future glistening within a mirror from 1999

Cassette tapes, vhs, even cd’s once valuable but trash

We were all lost in the garbage

Those who survived are just here

Not worth the gigabyte at $16

Just an unwritten book

Never meant to be read

The font was never correct

It wasn’t written in sms

Just a cryptic message

From the depths of truth

They can’t live what we lived

They can’t know what we know

But when we’re dust we’re dust

That’s the shitty part

Nobody watches the credits

Cryptictalk. Love ya nerds 😘

I thought about writing something tonight but I’ve realized I need to remember how to write, I’ve been lost in a common singularity. It can’t be? but can be? simple as long as it means something (amazing?). Am I ready to jump back into the misshapen (maybe shapen) reality of the depths of my mind? Or was that the perfection I disregarded and decided to live in the common language of reality? I want to touch the edges of perception and the endlessness of space, taste the stars, laugh at love and fear, create something ridiculous? I suppose I need to find myself once again as time goes by. Writing tickles the edges of my aged soul. Even though it may be lost to humans. It just maybe live within stardust.

Illusion

A rose starts with a magical scent, beautiful and unforgettable.

Close your eyes and breathe in the deep reds, continuously crawling their way into the back of the brain.

Seductive, sweet, yet a known addictive.

Petals soft as satin brushing against skin captivating the conscious.

A congregating spiral, the finger follows down to the depths where passion exists.

Just below lives the unseen threat, the hardened razor covered stem.

Laced with curving cutting hooks awaiting an inappropriate touch.

Captivated in scent and softness, the pain never existed.

But the roots are deeper than you know, when the glazed over eyes open It’s no longer a single rose just an illusion.

You’ve fallen upon the thorns drunken in the splendor of the scent of a rose.

She will hold you tight, every extra movement the thorns dig deeper.

Submit and become part of the process, become a rose yourself.

Or burn the bush

Eventually all of the petals fall

The silence of midnight still holds true

Especially with delicate touch of snow

I still find happiness in the silence of self peace

With thoughts of poetry I’ve kept so neat

The best place to be, inside my mind not for the world the see

Although we will read but never touch

A place so confident that could never be crushed

I am still a man, the one percent who puts his guts right on the map

I welcome you to hold your heart just as true

The world needs writers just like you

Speak your peace and never lies

Love yourself or you’ll hate the disguise

Just write

We all get lost in this endeavor of life

We see what is in front of of us and never what is beyond

In our lifetime we agree to just be dirt

And I am happy with that

To be part of the regeneration of life

Sometimes I’ve told myself I’ve lived enough

To each our own

I’ve known nothing

I’ve been to 7 states

But my mind has lived in all of the worlds

I’ve loved in all fashions

I’ve hated with all my heart

I know this is incorrect her words she teaches me I am just but a part

I am a slight wrinkle

I am just a conversation

Until I put my my heart into life it’s just a consultation

Who am I?

Who do I want to be?

Your answer here…….

The tussle of fall has come in, beautiful beating of the branches against each other with scent of an autumn wind

Here I am a sucker to the scents of the earth that could give two shits to what I could give in

But it calls me to be something better!

To stare at the moon, breathe the moment and think it means something

The earth wants rid of me and my human counterparts

With good reason, we are shit, we take and never give

A destructive whore just looking to live

Hoping what we write means something

But humanity knows no good and the earth was correct

We deserve our own ends

The Poetess

What would it feel like to be the thoughts running through her mind. To be the space between each syllable or the period at the end of a line. To be the break between the softness of her lips on the exhaling of deep thought. Or the wind running wild over skin with the scent of sunshine I’ve long sought. She colors the mind in pastels of sunsets and shadows of the moon. Holding the conscience captive with descriptions of stars we desperately hold so true. The beauty and boldness of concept is what poetry has meant to me. Living only within the finite spaces keeps us from seeing what words can be. She reads to me with softest tone keeps me company when I’m alone. Undeserving yet predisposed, whether rhyme, or rhythm, or simply prose. With a simple kiss I will live with her close, her simplicity, her fury, her truth, and unpredictability I’ve always loved the most.

We are just a moment

So embrace that moment you think means nothing

Because it could be everything

You will be forgotten

It’s written within the rules

The things you keep at heart will die with you

So die happy

Take chances

Love wild

Kiss strangers

We all end up as dust eventually

Smile son

Hard to come by, as rare as good conversation

A simple smile not forced to entertain the the madness of men

Rather forced by the scent the sun has left lingering upon my skin

A yearned and familiar scent of life blooming up from earth after a long winter

Filling the lungs with hope, the body with warmth, and the mind drive to continue on.

The power held in this light I cannot explain, but embrace, inhale, capture to keep within

The darkness always returns, soaked in the scent of sunlight I will survive the night.

So remember son something as simple as the sun can open your eyes, and give you a reason to rise.

Bring me the summer, we only have so many left.

😘🍻

The chips don’t always fall where we would like them to land

Hell, sometimes we don’t even have chips

You have to make up the difference within yourself

Make yourself the dealer

Yes the game is rigged

Because it’s yours

It’s always been yours

Are YOU willing to make the wager

To live?

Drowning

I cut out the soft parts with the dull edge of a rusty blade. Just to make sure the weakness would stay away. A chest of hopes and dreams sent to death at the bottom of the sea. To sink with the wasted feelings I knew I’d never need. So confident in emptiness I melted down the useless key. Torching everything along the way based on the ill idea of me. I thought I was doing myself a favor. Come to find out the stone walls have wavered. Now I stand on a desolate beach, feelings in reach, Yet I don’t have the courage to dredge deep beneath. I can’t breathe below to find what I need. I can’t breathe above with the things that I’ve seen. What I’ve learned over time is the sea will not dry, and the failures inside will eat you alive. I can only survive by my will or my weight, yet this can’t be my fate. I’ll dive to the depths and hope for the best, but I think it might just be too damn late. Cryptictalk

Outlines

I have a heart that is loving to honesty and honor

I have a heart that listens to true need

I have a heart that loves what I’ve created is mine to feed

I’m not perfect and never will be

I’m a father and I don’t have all the answers

I’m a protector and will die to keep them free

But in the end it’s not about me

It’s about you! and who you will become.

It’s about the love you give to others I may not know myself

It’s about the honesty you create in you

It’s about you being better than me

I am just an outline, and do your best to draw outside those lines because

I am not the truth just a sketch of what could be.

Whiskey dreams

The rain has touched everything tonight.

Saturating the world, while the whiskey saturates me

The cold is creeping into my skin, something I’ve learned to love

As well as the silence, although the rain tinning in the gutter and lapping on dead leaves sings a song

I live, WE live through the iridescent present world unlike the rest we’ve known

We are kept from each other, bound by the anxiety that infection may end a life.

Though we are brought closer by learning to read each other’s thoughts through word

Our language is never intelligible, the sentences too short, our guts kept at bay

One day we will see our hearts blooming, the sun shining and our anxieties swept away.

😘 just thinkin, miss y’all
