Why

What goes up, has to come down

Circles must be completed

Life must be celebrated

Misery must be endured

Melancholy must be embraced

Squalid quagmires of present reveled

Hope and faith nurtured

Belief for a deliverance nurtured

Overwhelmed by the tall ask

Knowing what the heart wants

Song that soul yearns for

Embrace that is truly mine

Love waiting beyond the chasm

Mind livid with current excess

Being sounds like a wail

Stars that guide don’t give warmth

Not just yet anyways

And the lows engulf, desolation descends

Darkness dances, eyes well over

Rage within wants the world to burn

Voices inside question existence

Why suffer, oh why at all

Why pretend to play

Make believe happiness

Live off the fumes at all

One Last Stand

Surrounded by shroud of haze

One can't see both ways

What's in mind cannot be felt

What I feel cannot be conveyed

What can be conveyed cannot be acted on

A spiral sucking me into its vortex

Coming undone is easy

Staying whole a different ball game

To make a blind leap requires faith

Belief isn't easy to come by though

Auto tuned to desecrate

Heart is frivolous, needs to be tamed

Mind over matter

Light over darkness

Love over indifference

Stoic in the face of misery

Blossoms over the gloom of winter

Soul knows what it wants, but knowing isn't living

Here I sit and let the time go by

A stream of memories never made

Remembrances like dreams they come

Vivid and abstract at the same time

I can feel the emotions yet the specifics elude me

Wish to be done with stronger than ever

Harp on all the goodness

The vile me lies hidden

Waiting to catch me off guard

Looking to square it off

Yet I stand brave and tall

Ready for one last stand

He saw a prayer once.

He saw a prayer once

She was pretty and innocent still

An ode to gods and their creation

A garland of wishes, a bouquet of devotion

Hopes for bounty, affirmation to beliefs. 

Serenity of acceptance, certainty of fate

Heart ripe with emotions, soul that is content. 

She saw him too and accepted his gratitude.

Shall We

Shall we shall we

Play the game shall we

I play dumb you play mute

Both play blind and both play crude

I saw your web

I saw you tease

I saw you try hard to please

I heard you laugh

I heard you cry

Till those damn tears turned dry

In the lair so deep

Rotting away in sleep

Endless ego senseless mind

Breathless body in a bind

Battered and bruised by daily grind 

Wake up wake up

Sun is up and stars are lost

Dreamers are done cutting cost

In the offing is something new

Known only to a select few

Treasure hunter and storm chasers

All gather to build a phaser

Target locked destruction decided

People of power won't be chided

No one fight was ever one sided

Delusion

Delusion is important. Without Delusion there is no greatness. Think of any visionary, were they not called delusional? Love is delusion but without love nothing is possible. Faith is delusion, belief is delusion, the world we live in, the world we crave for, all delusions.
We can't do without it, we are all delusional.
