Fate and destiny

My darling before you were born

Way up in the stars, the Angels gathered

round and decided your fate.

They mixed in sugar n spice a little dirt eww!

And a few worms for good measure too.

You are lovely and have grown into a wonderful man, you are destined for greatness, that's their plan. Stop wallowing it does you no good.

Life is too short, your destined for good.

Our fate is out of our hands, for it has already been decided. However only you can determine what types of destiny you have.

There is greatness in you,

Give in or Fight

dark rising

flew away

should I stay

see my mind

line by line

words can bind

restricting

ties me down

make no sound

took over

dark soldiers

engulfed me

fighting back

laughing loud

blood pouring

overcame

beat them down

I conquered

Red Wine

Games played in a rage

you're always spewing those lies

off your lips like wine

RainWords

My quill's

Quick skitch

Across the page

Manic Mage

Making magic

Lost in rain's

Soft refrain

Tattooed 'gainst

My window pane,

"Hear my words"

True Meaning of Life

The moonlight peeked through the trees like a shy child, slowly showing its' abundance of nuance in the night sky. 

The stillness in the woods made calmness that saturated the body, creating a world that was full of wonder and excitement. 

Why am I here? What does the universe want? 

The peacefulness captivated the mind

Wondering..

 What is the true meaning if life?

Chemistries

We are

Salty currents

In a sea, unexplored

Our chemistries

Mix

In rushing

Imperative

Driven

Beyond reason

Beyond caution

Beyond place

In our thirst

For immortality

Our bodies

Run

This ancient

Race

Spawning

Generations

In dance

Of living pace

Our essence

One

In twisted grace

Your form

Your soul

Your heart

I taste

I vow

That not

One drop

I'll waste

This ballet

In love's ocean

Lost to sight

SUPERSTITION

Oh hail superstition! 

I bow to your full grace and glory

For giving me cognition.

I shall not! 

Walk under that ladder 

Which will make me gladder,

Open my umbrella inside 

As the rain is falling cockeyed,

And Hasten once I catch sight  

Of that black cat during the night. 

I shall!

Throw salt across my shoulder

While I Line up 3 leaf clovers,

And I will stay put 

To grab my lucky rabbits' foot.

So until the end is nigh 

I will stay inside 

On this Friday the 13th night.

Short. Sweet. Love.

I hope that coming out is no longer a thing to be done.

That we can just simply BE without having to run

Or hide or cower or let go of the hands

That hold us up in private, but in public, can be seen as a sin.

I hope that the world realizes that human rights are for all of us and not just the ones they "like" more than the rest.

But most of all, I hope that we can love freely, without worry or consequence.

AFTER THE STORM

 A storm is brewing, increasing panic, 

      demanding perpetual alertness.

 The sun is hidden as charcoal clouds, 

       cast meadows into shadowy darkness. 

 Birds seek shelter as horizons ignite 

      with illuminating bolts of lightning. 

 Screaming thunder, torments petrified minds, 

even in dwelling, they find it frightening. 

 Winds begin to howl with stronger force, 

     demolishing fragile foundations. 

 Rain surges unleasing barbaric floods, 

     destroying crops and plantations. 

 The air becomes a vicious vortex of debris 

       as victims wait nervous speculation. 

 As calm is restored in the atmosphere, 

       they assess the atrocious situation.
