Sooner or Later

Realizations are made and songs sung are heard,

Sooner or later.

Fake bleeds blood washing eyes to show truth and mistakes,

Sooner or later.

Fallacies are discovered, ruminations are had, “What have I done?”

Sooner or later.

Truth is made manifest, love moves on, what could be will never be,

Sooner or later.

A new song fills the air, loves blossoms forth, one wanting and deserving reaches,

Sooner or later.

Life grows, it carries on, nothing will be the same, and everything changes,

Sooner or later.

Life is about lessons learnt, there are no dead ends… it is your responsibility to not hang on to something out of familiarity or comfort, but rather to explore the vastness of existence, taking the good and the bad, stoically. No one is worse or better than any other. Live with gratitude and love.

A Life Apart

He is the man needed for a time, ne’er wanted… and thus it is.

Used and loved for what he offers, which is a glimpse into the world

without.  Discarded once they have been shown and found their way

A life apart, this is why he goes through cycles of withdraw.  It is

not worth the bullshit’s mask to pretend to be unaffected.  “You got a

pretty face”  Bam!  She’s stuck… forget the man who was there for her,

the guy she ran to when she needed help.. the reliable one, the safety net

Fuck him!

I Am

I am not an engineer who designs and makes shit

I am not a soldier defending corporate interests

I am not an athlete making goals, touchdowns, baskets, runs

I am richer by  far than any of the above

I know what life is worth, I see what is taken for granted

I am a differently-abled starving artist, trying to find his nut.

Martyrdom

Taught to live, to appreciate life.

Shown the lighter side, the grander side of life.

Wiser teaches well, Friend flies away…

Wiser needs to be selfish, helping others has its place

But self is the whole, being a martyr for love is not what

Has got to be done, to ride, to fly, to live, to die

Vicariously incarnate, seeing dreams realized

Taking no credit for credit is not to be had

A guide, a teacher, a mentor, a “friend”

Forgotten but for nostalgic reminiscence.
