Drowning in words

I smile at the thought of Nature

Of how it may one day surprise me

Suddenly placing you in front of me

No warning

No advance on how to handle it

No place or time set

Just random beauty

Just a unique feeling of pleasant sensation

How marvelous is Nature

Like a foolish optimist

I hoped this virus would teach us something

Teach us that we are Human

Teach us that we are fragile

Teach us gratitude

That we must learn to behave

Yet, I cannot help but feel it has had the reverse affect

Only served to feed our arrogance

Only served to feed our ignorance

Only served to feed us a false sense of invincibility

Like a young super hero

Proclaiming he or she can do it all

He or she know it all

What virus? What villain?

What weakness?

I am Superhuman

-         What lesson? -

Some of these ladies’ wear flesh so irresistible

It drives some of these animals to become Males

At times I am moved by the simplest of things

Other times the most tragic of events could move me as much as a gust of wind moves concrete

Perhaps the reason being I no longer hold sympathy for human beings

She asked me what I desired most

Without hesitance I replied

A coffee and dialogue without Time’s hold

With a simple smile and the wave of her finger

I felt the arms of ecstasy welcoming me

If it were up to me

Everyday at noon

In a public square

In a city or town

The masses would gather

To hear their Poets speak

To remind them

How rare it is to find someone who understands

How precious the art of undressing Language truly is

- For the love of words -

There was a line as long as the eye could see

Men and women standing patiently

Waiting for their opportunity to get ahold of the glorified Rose

I couldn’t help but smile

As my gaze studied the abundance of pleasure left untouched

The lovely Tulip

Standing tall, standing alone

Waiting for someone to teach it how to flirt with Love

-         Abundance -

I would be perfectly fine perishing under the skin of your shadow

Knowing I was granted the opportunity to bask in your everything

After all, not everyone is allowed a glimpse of Heaven

- After All -

[jakeats58]

A dimly lit bar

A corner booth

A jazz band on stage

A stiff drink

A pen

A trail of inspiration from here to sunrise

Cheers

I am stuck on neutral

Daydreaming about coffee

While sipping on whiskey

Watching it all burn

With no desire to run and alert

What good would it do?

Truth is of no use

After all

Lies sell much better than ever

Poetry is like a symphony

It all works in harmony

All it takes is for one person to get it wrong

And all the notes fall apart

All it takes is for one word to get it wrong

And all the words fall apart

Which why it is so lovely

The fragility of it all

- It all falls -

[jakeats58]

I feel a slight sense of guilt

Taking pleasure in observation

As Vanity destroys itself

Overcome by its own obsession for perfection

There is never enough flesh to fulfill its appetite

A greed forever craving praise

A perversion forever craving lust

It will never be enough

Yet Vanity knows nothing of it's destructive ways

The sad ignorance of beauty

- Vanity’s ways -

Humans

We play such a deviant game

Hide and seek

Rich and weak

Strong and meek

Acting as though we are care

While we conceal the disguise of our nature underneath

The game is made to favor those who create and manipulate it's rules

How cruel are we

The game has been predetermined

Fall in line like sheep

The shepard is your guide

Leading you to your slaughter

This will only get harder

The masochistic nature of it all

One would think, it would make their skin crawl

But first you must understand the beast

They no longer paint romance in black and white

Moving pictures caught in time

A projector flickering off and on

Each reel holding onto that unforgettable moments like lovers arms

It held such a command over Attention once

Long ago

Two lovers dancing along in a colorless world

But their passion held so strong

Searching, seeking that moment where their eyes may finally meet

The embrace of two souls clinging onto their counterpart

Before it is to late and one is forever gone

Such drama

Such emotion

Such devotion

How wonderful are the tears of joy

Evading the “what could have been”

Escaping the grip of loneliness

Saving their romance in a world that holds no color

The graceful touch of black and white will be forever missed

Forgive me for finding pleasure in undressing every word you speak - "nudity"
