For all I have found distant in the mirage

Vertigo stares back defiantly

Remembering when I was to bold

When I thought I loved you sufficiently 


As the retort of some prior instigation 

walks in and slaps me on my face

I feel an echo ripple through the stars

the world is hard and reminds me of my place


yet stand not amazed in his grace

yet stand not amazed in the comparison

for the language is old and the burden great

from former souls to new lessons


from simplicity of radio songs

to the complexity of the new aeon

he whispers would you love me

before we laugh at the peak of tragedy

Because I know in my heart that things worked out.   I'm too tired to be optimistic But lived enough to know It's a thin line between b

Where the plague crow follows the storm yet, we are all so busy with our dream. The sign broken still stands alone, maggots also are fond of quivering my nightmare youth or sanity cries "Dreams of mine, remember" he sighs. of "give it your best please you must try." but in spite of the poetry still we die.                               2 Whenever the words escape or are said, "you deserve to get what you get." I feel as if I paraphrase the dead, "are we to believe miseries gift?" A gnostic with zen
