Living
Living is apparently
What we all want to do
In ways and manner
Of which we have no clue
For day by day
we work so much
That we grind our teeth
Until they are rough
In this rough
we find no comfort
Instead we find issue
With nearly every sort
Of thing that we do
Complication that we know
And this is the case
Every place that we go

Haste
To look for rewards
When one begins
Is to look in haste
For material things
As timely patience with
Hints of forward thinking
Are the ways to success
And prosperous living

Nothing left to give
I have nothing left to give
For every hour
Was put to task
And that is all that I ever ask
For a lifetime of days
That push me beyond
The subtle comforts
That can be found at home -

Curly or straight
Pick or choose.
Thick or smooth.
Curly straight.
Dont hesitate.
To gravitate.
To one of the other.
For you look great.
Regardless of the color or the style.
That surrounds your smile.
That keeps us all guessing.
If we really doing right.
Basking in your light.
Or are we meant to do something more.
Like write a poem, sing a song
Whether it is short or rather long
Let me just stop
Cause with you I can just keep going
With compliments to infinity
For your beauty is like divinity

Brand new
Haven't written
anything for a while
That I could pour on here
That would bring out a smile
A reaction of emotion
That comes from something writ
As if I was stuck
In the deepest writers pit
Where words had lost their meaning
And poetry its worth to me
But that was just on insta
And not here on mirakee
So how about something new
A promise of what's to come
More words are on their way
For I am not at all, nearly done -

Black slate
I finally learned my lesson
Giving up my obsession
Let go of all the tension
Of this crazy education
My favorite preoccupation
Now has become my weapon
So now I have a blank slate
To find my true expression -

Car carcasses
Things always happen
That influence times passing
That make it slow down
And speed up
Without even asking
Leaving behind
What appears to be memory
Some we choose
Some we don't
But the scars remains
Like car carcasses
Burned into our retina -

Traffic
Time is wasted in traffic
As we are too busy to think
Too busy to work
And yet every day
1000 upon thousands
Choose to sit in the foul air
Heading to places in cars
When public transport can be quicker
Where time becomes your friend
Where you can sit and think
Or even sit and work
Begs the question
Where we draw the line
How we chose to live
Wasting time in which we could think
Time in which we could work -
digitalslipstreamer 268w
Time
time is what life offers
when nothing is on your plate
moments for reflections on items
that makes one hesitate
changing thoughts towards
what most don't appreciate
and realizing
what's truly important
on which you will not compensate -

A poem about how my priorities have suddenly changed with the offset of the realization of goals
And how what once were the objects I desired
Now are simply memories, treasured above all else

I set off blindly,Into the unknown
As a mist envelops, All that I have known
Removing the importance,
Of markers that i have set
Overwhelming my thoughts
With all manner of illusions
That cloak my senses, And hopeless sensibilities
Revealed as nothing more
Than faded glimmers
Of my own shiny dreams
Lost in the ocean of time
