Untitled 02-09-2024

Bell rang decades ago,
Still....
Still as the water before the dis,
Stuck in a fantasy 
Of what really is,
Lost in my sanity, 
Still losing grip,
Of ingrown agony, 
But happily, 
It dismantled this.... 

It being I, 
Ignoring hints,
I'm blind, 
To time, 
Remembering hits,
I tied,
To subtly brisk,
My mind, 

All wasn't destiny,
This test you see,
We lied,
Failed,
One another,
Pictures fading,
"System" hating,
Now fingers point to I, 

Responsibilities accepted, 
Unlike trust,
Will never be rejected, but
Just like lust,
Synonym for slut, 
Will always be protected, 
The feelings we projected,
Lasted longer through ejection, 

(Re-read, 
And tell me your perception) 

Interludes become perfected, 
But skipping stones,
Won't play the cards we're dealt with,


Really hope you felt it,
That pause,


No interception,
Because, 
Acceptance,
Has slept in.
....
That part.. 

That unspoken bond
I used to fond,
Beyond,
Any doubt,
Even through separation,
Sensations racing,
Till there was non, 
Profit, 
To pocket, 
Love changed, 
Yet perfectly fitted
To a lock-it,
As if there was option,
To cease our conscience, 
Triggered by stimulated doctrine, 
..  ....

Vexed Nights

Vexed Nights 

Trapped in my own delusion,
Engulfing self induced contusions,
I imprudently cause self confusion,

Distance seems cruel to me
So I detach from what used to be,
Emotionally,
Physically,
Then spiritually, 
I vanish,
Into what I imagine, 
How to feel,
Deciphering what’s real,
I still,
Resent the chill, 
Of dwindling heartbroken thrills,

Concentrated fears,
Regretting the years,
That past,
Knowing,
Deep down, 
This, 
Was promised to be the last,

Last crush,
Last love, 
Last touch,
Yet,
Destined to crash but,
Somehow continue,
To repeat a crashed lust,

Never ask much,
From the other,
Than,
Honesty,
Honestly from a mass flush,
Of what happened so casually,
I'm mad at me,

Time wasted,
Births divine hatred, 
Towards the fake ,
So,
Save it,

Enough is adequate,
See, life plays,
Like your favorite track again,
Enjoying the now,
Respiting future,
Isolated,
But happily,
Way of taking back,
What lyrics lack,
Replaced by a simply complexed fact
Of vexed context,
To portray contest,
Spoken,
Resembling black,

By definition,
Meaning,
Every  other word is missing,
Now the mission,
Steers different,

Than it's statement,
Bodly replaced with,
Synonyms one created,
To face it  ,..you know

That track from way back,
Where we vibe intellectually,
Minds on 5th dimensions,
Reciting words it said to me, ...now

Planes crumbling,
Our brains mumbling,
Uttered sounds are mistaken,
Followed by feeling like,
"Just take it!"

I phase it,
Then rephrase lips, 
To proper English,
Making it seem less,
Admissible,
To deem stress,

Learning to use one,
While fighting intrusion,
Of personal values,
To sooth ones
Own abysmal
Conclusion

Equivocation

I know my wrongs, 
They were never right, 
Lost in a blindfolded love, 
Mistaken by what to fight, 
For, 
Loving you has taught me,
Either unification, 
Or,
A deceived perpetuation, 
From a closed door 

Rekindling of first hugs, 
Transformed into an adult drug, 
That one can't seem to shake from,
We'll say I love you, 
Knowing we mean it, 
But then disappoint, 
As if love never existed,
Even if on paper, 
We wouldn't read it, 
With intentions to understand, 
Only demand, 
Self biased, 
Without your partner, 
Future plans,
Divided, 
Just not to conquer, 
Mind games on ??,
Wishing evil will prosper, 

Is what I see looking in, 
Forgetting why we started
Yet rejecting it's end, 
Sexy, 
We're grown, 
I know you've said it a million times,
But I keep repeating unhappy songs, 
With memories of our last, 
Worst departure ever, 
Like faded pictures in a glass, (Case-Missing You)
In this time, 
I've questioned, 
You asked, 
You were serious, 
I laughed, 
Hearts shatter
As life pasts
