Dream

Every dream,
A chance
To see,
What is possible
To relive,
What has happened
To indulge,
In a familiar, strange land and
To experience,
It all together in unison at once.

The Expanse

The outer reaches of the cerebral cortex,

Vast intricate circuits intertwine.

Waves of knowledge carry forward,

Jointly infused with the spine.

Immense power of the controlling hub,

With power to make a change.

Growing and flowing like impressionist artwork,

Growing and flowing like a beautiful image.

It grows to an unprecedented scale,

Where does the old end and the new begin?

What mysteries lie in its realm and,

The expanse of knowledge it carries within?

Let Me Ask You

Let me ask you,
Would you close your eyes and count to ten?
Would that make the pain go away?

Let me ask you,
Would the sun shine brighter if it went away, those memories?
Would you be a different person then?

Let me ask you,
Would you be less stronger if you didn’t know how to deal with pain?
Would it be more difficult for you then?

So let me ask you,
Is it the pain that you are running away from, or the inability,
To handle that pain?
Why don’t you ask yourself that?

I Planted a Seed

I planted a seed today,

And it turned out to be the most beautiful one.

But isn't everything beautiful in its own way?

Aren't all stars just another sun?

Don't all flowers,

Look just the same, but when close,

Look different and brighter?

What are those?

Aren't those the same,

Things that I wanted to do then,

But I couldn't do them?

Because everything else was different?

Wouldn't all flowers be,

More unique when

They're allowed to breathe?

And be what they're meant?

Someone planted another seed today

And I know this flower

Would bloom more blissfully in its own way

Bloom more blissfully than any other.

A Poem to Remember You By

I ask myself this question,
Was it you who entered my dreams,
Or was it my own consciousness
That made me think of you.

Was it your smooth touch,
Your heavenly laugh and your,
Bewitching smell that
Stayed with me all those years?

Or was it your soul that,
Connected and reattached,
With me time and again
For fulfilling its purpose.

I like to think that if there were,
Enough barriers to keep me away from you,
That there were still not enough barriers
To keep away our love.

I like to think that even though,
Our bodies couldn’t make it through,
Our connected souls
Couldn’t keep us apart.

And so I hope these unclear boundaries,
Between us never end,
And that we continue to live our
Sole lives inseparable.

My Backpack Ride Back Home

Sliding, winding roads
The crisp air that tunnels it's way through my hair
Gushing emotions and feelings of getting back home
Working my spirit debonair.

Tempted to watch
The slow, steady pains wash away from the body
Watch them flow through hot, soapy water
Non extant and free.

The wind and the trees
Working their magic on hollow lands and elevated grasslands
Breaking free the spirit to its undying state
A realm that understands.

Halfway there I see
The place that had longer for me and I had longer for it
I had waited for me, to be a part of it
Again,  and be one whole.
