No One......

No one notices the edge
The brake along the horizon
Hiding untold wonders
Or deepest of fears
No one notices the edge
When they're running all out
Trying to leave the past
Or flying on high
Away from the cares of life
No one notices the edge
When caught up in their own stories
Own hurts and joys
Wondering through the woods
No one notices the edge
Or the man who's fallen
Plunging to the depths below

Unexpectedly expected

How are you mad

You had such high expectations

Unrealistic visions you envisioned

Yet you failed to tell the tale

Shocked by the unexpected responses

Constantly perturbed by reactions

Yet you failed to tell the tale

How can you be mad

When you never inquired

Never uttered a single mention

Of these so called high hopes

You expected so much

Yet it all was just smoke on the wind

Never confided in

So your dreams were deferred

Desires want unheard

You expected

But you forgot to send the memo of your expectations

Brain scatter....

Thoughts all over
Talk about a roller coaster
Chaos raging yet holding to the illusion
Peace is a distant dream
Brain scatter
Down to the last cents
Right now there is no sense
Total over load
Feels like it's all slipping away like sand
Brain scatter
Sensual pleasure no longer exist
Visuals just seem faded
Nightmares while awake
Just getting started but it already seems to late
Brian scatter
Behind the 8Ball again
Doesn't matter how many times won
Always seems like the loss is to great
Looking up like whats next
Brian scatter

Observation on time

One can never truly measure time
It varies from day to day
The tree may seem long lived
Yet the rock one day is a mountain
Even among man
If stress rules a man of youth can look wizened
Yet a mature man who's lived carefree appears youthful
A true measure of time, it could be said, is experience
Two people of the same age will differ
One could never leave home yet age rapidly
The other could travel the world and seem younger for it
Time is fickle yet undeniably profound
It touches every thing yet nothing
One can never truly measure time

Never Knew

Never knew
How could this be
Never knew
How can this be
Never knew
How is this possible
Never knew
How could this be love
Never knew
How is this possible...love
Never knew
Love could be this deep
Never knew
Love can be this raw
Never knew
Love like this was even possible
A love that cant be truly defined
A love that could stretch across time and space
A love that is limitless

Haunted

These dreams stay haunting
Like vengeful demons stalking
Mind balks at the thought of rest
So stressed wondering if I'm still blessed
Body aching from the lack of mental peace
Not to hard to figure out the cause
But wondering what's the cost
To finally find that state of peace
Gone so far yet still so lost
Doesn't look like I'm gonna win this race
Can hear them just beyond the veil
Seeing them just on the visions edge
Little corner of hell
Images of how they muse of inflicting damage
Head bowed and hands clasped
Praying fervently for soul touching deliverance
Or at least a swift........

Fallen Wings.........

Found a set of wings
Heard the sounds of angels crying
Feathers dancing on the wind
Found a set of wings
Seen a silhouette of angels flying
A mournful symphony proceeding
Found a set of fallen wings
Saw her standing proudly
Yet tears streaked her face
Smile bitter sweet
As she kicked away her fallen wings....

Strength

*side note: wrote this for @imani_sublime "Poetry in Pink", follower her on twitter n check out her site penhittingpaper.com shes dope. This was what came of the untitled*

daily we see it
we praise so many for it
always so quick to acknowledge it
but what exactly is it?
Strength....
physically you can tell
by who's the biggest
or even quickest on the field
in a game or in a sport
but is that truly it?
Strength....
yet is that really it?
is that the only measure?
could there not be another form...
or is that just the norm?
Strength
no that can't be it
not saying its not true
but there's gotta be more
isn't courage a form of...
Strength
well how about the will to go on...
even when all hope seems lost
yet a person carries on
and proves all of the odds wrong
they gather their courage
when most seem discouraged
and push on through the pain
willing to endure anything
to see their loved one(s) smile
isn't that....
Strength
when one is down, broke, or sick
and it seems so easy to quit
yet they rally against
what seems like pure hopelessness
to obtain their dreams
would not that be
Strength....

never understood what strength was....
well da strength of arms every man learns.....
but true strength...that's another story.....
