Lucid Living
The sun
came in through the window
creating streamers of
light, dust particles and smoke,
revealing the space between things,
revealing the three dimensional nature
of my reality.
The expansiveness of the universe
unveiled before my eyes
by the simple
phenomenon
of light streaming in
from the window.
Each previously invisible particle
appeared weightless
as the light glimmered
floating in space
as a formless form.
But more than just
a vision,
this was a feeling,
an emotion,
an awakening.
It was like becoming
aware of a dream
while still dreaming.
It was realizing the reality
of space and time
as it exists as an illusion,
life as a beautiful mirage.
I was not jaded,
I did not feel cheated
rather, eternally grateful
and appreciative
that the world
presented itself to me
in such a miraculous
and sensational
manner.
Experience Yourself as Another
When I looked into his eyes
I saw a better version of myself
and he into mine
a better version of he.
For this,
perhaps our love was a
selfish way to love ourselves.
But, who cares,
if it made us feel complete.
Because, the closest you may get
to experiencing yourself
as another
is to stare at the reflection
of yourself in
their eyes.
The Taste of My Subconscious
When he said to me:
"If I don't see you in my dreams,
I will be sorely disappointed
in the taste of my subconsious,"
I knew he was my fucking muse,
my starry eyed lover.
Who I oggled over
like a ciggarette
or a Beatles album
that makes me think to myself:
"damn, I could listen to this track
for a thousand year."
Do I have to?
No,
But, I'd be damned if I didn't try,
Damned, if I didn't listen to it even after
it was scratched and skipped.
In this moment,
I wanted to etch his name
into every desk,
in every school,
in every country
so that,
every girl
could know that it is possible,
possible to find
the one
that still brings you butterflies
after a thousand years
and that those butterflies
will drift into your head space
and make you dream of the
billions of laughs
billions of memories
billions of happy tears
you would share with this person
if they would
accept your love forever.
Looking for that which has been there all along
I never knew there were so many birds in the world until I started looking for them. Now they are everywhere. And my logic tell me they were there all along and that I just never took the time to notice. But now my world is a new, with their singing and soaring through the sky.
What If I Never Look Back
Sometimes
I make up an excuse
about how busy I am
I hop in my car and drive
with no destination
I drive and drive and drive
with the intent
of getting as far away as I possibly can
untill some obligation makes me turn around
and at the turning point
I always ask myself...
what if I kept going and never looked back?
Chaos Cravings
I crave the chaos,
Lust for it.
I am an addict,
of this
I am sure.
Leave me!
Fire me!
Brake me!
Punish me!
Hit me!
Hurt me!
Try...
I dare you!
There is nothing you could do to me!
And you wouldn't even try!
But maybe, I want you to!
So that I can feel alive!
But it wouldn't matter:
I need nothing
Feel nothing
you just
remind me.
