Collected Poems, Haikus and A Riddle!

This is some of the work from over the years that I've parsed through and felt like sharing with you.

Collected Poems, Haikus and A Riddle!
High Resolution Textures

The Haikus are closest to the top and the longer poems are further down.

Lights:

Shinning quiet light

Blinding in its modesty

Destroys the darkness.

Destruction:

Annihilation comes.

All creatures will bow before

Destruction can save.

Choice:

The great illusion

Of the middle and of time.

Both real and unreal.

Illusions:

Are they tricks and lies

or swift truths too quick to see.

Not honest or false.

Abide:

To not abide by

The way of other people

Is to forge your path.

Respect:

Respect, look back.

To return to look upon

Others through yourself.

Heaven:

It exists on earth.

Residing still within us

Permeates through all.

Solatium:

Empathy removed.

Solatium replaces.

Unable to fill.

Human Element:

Human element

Stays unquantifiable

Yet connects us all.

Devil:

The duality

Of Him who created all.

Human perception.

Transitions:

Chopped trees bring new life.

Elemental life reborn,

Short perspective long.

Airplane:

Big fart canister.

Flies through the air dropping shit.

Attempt not to breathe.

Riddle:

A thick wooden house

Will open for those who knock

upon gambrel roofs.

Front Window:

A Child’s head, barely reaching above, watches time from the front window of the train, first ahead, then within, then gone. The child is more aware of time now than he ever has been or will be. He is aware that time is simply movement, and without movement, time ceases.

Dreams:

Dreams litter city streets like the glass of broken hearts, slicing through soles of those who dare to walk undefended as themselves. Our dreams leave by tired feet that ooze crimson through cracked concrete; the gluttonous gutters gobbling what we could be in exchange for what we are. It is a sinister revenge that we are made to walk upon the bodies of old dreams, but we are better for it too as pain makes the memory of our dreams stick.


Puns:

There is no courage without rage.

There are no friendships without end.

There is no father without her.

There is no harmony without harm.

One can never understand anything by looking down upon it.

Peace always has small beginnings.

Art is the heart of the earth,

Every brother is an other.

There is no religion without a region.

Knowledge can only exist on the edge of now.

Information is form yet uncreated.

Time is the distance between me and it.


Generation:

We are the generation of hidden virtue,

More people and history than ever to look through

So be grateful when credit finds you.

Backseat driving never looked so easy-

From the front seat.

We’ve been given responsibility and not the wheel.

How the fuck do you think we’re supposed to feel.

But it’s alright.

You’re not the first people to keep the wheel till first sight of the cliff

Then panic and bail.

Good thing off the cliff is the best way to sail.

So keep your hand off the wheel and your eye in the sky

And wave the broken path you left us goodbye.


Father:

To be a father you gotta make her fat.

Too many men just wanna tear half

No thinking she might get torn in half

Then get upset cause she wanna take her half.

Of course she’s the better half,

How else you think this inequality could last?

Change comes either way.

How can we still not afford equal pay?

How can we listen with spite at what others say?

The daylight shines upon all things in*equality.

*What a tremendous amount of difference a little space can be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
