Manipulate Time

Worry not, time speeds up only for the massive
And slows down for the minute and obscured
Forever try to make massive change to defeat time
And never obscure the efforts of change towards justice

For you are only lengthening the universal struggle for freedom

Presents

Between yesterday and tomorrow
Between words lamented and words yet unsaid
Between our first kiss and the thought of our next
Between your dreams and my reflections

Is something neither of us can quite remember we deserve

Insulated

They say write what you know
But in a life of cliche and warm blankets
All i know is being touched petrifies
Everything about me, but no worse than I

Petrify everything I have touched with words

Moot

A rain cloud hovers over

This burden is too much 

For either of us, for both of us

But until we have found proper footing

There is no time or reason to regret our choice to climb

Motorcycle Repair

The engine is fine, mighty fine
Transmission's what's giving you trouble
You just got to control where the power is going
Been puttin' so much power in the wheels for so long

You git yourself up to high speeds she'll git you to where you're goin'

Progress

Farewell sweet lessons of the past
You have taken me this far
But no further
I must find another suitor

But first you absolutely must meet my daughter

Rumi's Quest

Seeing nothingness in everything
I came to you beloved
To fill that emptiness with your love
Oh how silly was I in my endeavour

To not see the abode you carved for us in each thing

Who among us

Have you looked at insects and animals,
And also civilizations of eras past and present
Noting such an unknowingly wretched mundanity
Will you now endure genius and hard work to stand apart

Freedom from ignorance precedes any other freedom

Smoldering

A flame is not a fire
It could light ablaze the dark sky
It could desecrate the ground on which we stand
But when you smother it you will know the difference

When nothing catches, and his light slowly fades from within

Esprit

When we met
Didn't you also feel
The undeniable presence
Of a freedom yet to be understood

How could I deny myself your inviting vacancy

In this Age

We trivialize to make palatable
The harsh truths of existence
But never care to understand the depth
Of any pains, particularly our own

Until our heart atrophies from bed rest until bed rest

As it is written

You ought to know

I did not prescribe this love

I know not what it does

Nor where it will take me

I take you in as with air without choice

Blind passion

To the ends of the earth
I will follow you
Forever behind you waiting
In hopes that you might turn to face me

And so I have forgotten we were on a path to somewhere better

Scribe

Do you feel what we all feel
When a baby smiles her first smile
Or when a legend has met his last foe
And can you bottle those moments

So we can all remember what you feel
