A collection of my thoughts and then a lot of what ever and have not

[joejennis]

New interest

A strong personality to match mine. A sweet side to match mine. A musical side to match mine. A intellect to match mine. You can keep honest and keep me motivated. You are blowing me away, please like dating me.

Today

Put down the knifes and harsh words. Let's forget about our differences and find the similarities. We are all made of the same star dust. I wish we didn't have a culture of isolation, selfishness and greed. I wish we were a culture of inclusion and love. We are all part of one global community of humans. All trying to make the best go of it. Let's make a go of it together. Let's extinguish the bad vibes with love.

Thanks.

Facetime me, while he is inside. Tell me how much you miss me and wish I was around. Its been awhile, almost enough. I don't need it, it's all to much. When asked, I say "shut the fuck up." She meant, means and was nothing to me. I can't acknowledge it, however true. Firmly in denial now, good job. Hide the evidence that lies in your heart, no one need know. Especially not him, live happily. I'll be fine, no worries, no problem, my pleasure; words I hope to mean. I'll look at the moon and remember you. I'll look at the trees and remember you. I see, I remember you. By all means thank me. Thank you. Truly don't say it, it's meaning is lost on me.

Lucid Dreaming

Sometimes I dream about you. I always know it's a dream when you show up. I never choose to stop dreaming though. I never choose to change the dream. I'm completely lucid but I never change what's going on when you are there. It's not that I long for a connection with you. It's like enjoying a walk with an old friend. I rarely think about you when I'm awake. When I sleep it just happens. I thought about you yesterday and hope you are doing well. I hope someday we cross paths again.

“Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” - Hayao Miyazaki

Truth

Sometimes it doesn't need to be spoken.

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

You’ll likely end up disappointed if you think people will care for you the way you care for them. Not everybody has your heart.

The moon comes up.The moon goes down.This is to inform youthat I didn’t die young.Age swept past mebut I caught up.Spring has begun here and each daybrings new birds up from Mexico.Yesterday I got a call from the outsideworld but I said no in thunder.I was a dog on a short chainand now there’s no chain.

You try to tell your feet to stay put

but the sky keeps reigning you in, stretchin' the air thin

So float cloud charged over the dead city 

and still people throw their hands up

for what weather might bring

but we are the twice strikin' lighting

fighting for return to flesh

with out the culture biting whitening

flying past the easy anomalies that trap most secrets from thoughts and color blind teachers and infinitely attentive students, analogy

its not that simple

its more simple in human then numbers and tones

people live in binary code and never get to three

there's no I left to see

I'm living post free, post me sending out marked gifts care of your ears package free, catch less in a kids cheek as smiles wrinkles time and hell and thrice we go crashing down to thunderous ovations of our own making 

Little kids cover their ears because the truth is allowed more and more

bad men telling good kids lies about kit flying in nights such as this

so they leave copper keys locked in hearts 

for bey exposure less then other male set sensitivity on such an epic level

one

two

three

four

a feminine step various skip between our heaven lost and unburden bliss

not until your dead though

we're ready to scorch the earth 

you wager a moral bet on these past decades

blind the blind before they fall and skip

bleed for me and we will consider the application

hurt like her and we will acknowledge the fire

 die like this, this and this here

love learns to live burns to mistrust your brief judgement but from the sky 

its round as it seems to drop a metaphor supreme

the whole world a simile for dreaming, meant to get foggy, shunning mental memory to short lived

for what our bodies are called, for what our spirits recall

its waiting somewhere for all of us

converting scrubbed feet to static charges in stratosphere against the great metropolitan area

go for with attack an all out march with war drums and battle lighting

storming globalized gates and stock option automatons

to win back young minds with no idea the power inside the space we are all spread amongst

slice my tongue and let the rhymes drip down to stain the sword soft 

crush my feet in this mindless stampede to stay stupid on the ground

tear out your floating heart and squeeze the juice over party purchased plastic flowers

because we all need to grow green, dry their eyes of shame

we are the twice stricken lighting beating the drum that brings the rain

I can't wait to start next year. Beautiful.

She's so beautifully broken

you can barely see the flaw

Especially from a distance

which is always how I fall

i'm sorry is easy to say when you've got arms to find solace in and lips to get drunk on i remain ink-stained, disdain, ingraine, are you feeling entertained? i used to wonder what the pain was like when my father's heart exploded common art sold it but this won't settle for silence now i'm volatile with self-violence trust me - even patience wouldn't try this venerable i sense since i found a beat left dying on the street and took her home to penstitch the bleeding rhythm, she'd been selling ism and we shared stories of correlating detonated coronaries it's beyond scary but fear is the little death and I'm no maud'ib you colnized my arrakis, helpless melange addict with the right tactic and the wrong practice faulty emotional still suit left me dehydrated and rapless let the desert have me i didn't know it was the last kiss, you never told me it was the last kiss, you never told me shit
