Anywhere Anyone

I think this guy used to be part of the Postal Service -something i personally have no feelings about.  This song on the other hand, I have a lot of feelings for...

Lyrics:
I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

How can you love me if you don't love yourself? I love you. (I love you.)
How can you love me if you don't love yourself? I love you. (I love you.)

How can you love me if you don't love yourself? I love you.
How can you love me if you don't love yourself? I love you.
How can I love you if I don't love myself? I love you.

We're not going anywhere. Sun is bright and standing still, it's alright.
We're not going anywhere. Sun is bright and standing still, it's alright.
We're not going anywhere. Sun is bright and standing still, it's alright.
We're not going anywhere.
We're not going anywhere. Sun is bright and standing still, it's alright.
We're not going anywhere. Anywhere

I love you.
How can you love me if you don't love yourself?
I love you, anyway. I love you. I love you, anyway. I love you.

The Coming Collapse

(March 28, 2012)

Our kingdom come

Which now stands lost

To its self-imprisonment in vice,

Finds itself in consonance

With the end its ways have wrought.

Soon we’ll find

Our only chance

To guide the blind

To righteous sight

-A chance that greets us with open arms

Opened by their lack of direction:

We herald now

The bell that tolls

For the impermanence

Of coddling waste,

Which brings with it destructive fires

That wipe away the cultures of decay.

We’ll stand among

The righteous flames,

Prepared to help

With loving hands

Those who survive the cleansing blaze:

Possessing eyes that see in firelight.

Burn

Will towers imprisoning minds!

Razed to dust

Will be walls that divide!

We must show this world new light

From which no one will want to hide.

Escapist: Two poems

I have been hesitant to post these because of their escapist content... but now the time has come...

Dreamer

In a distant universe

In a distant galaxy

Around a distant star

On a distant planet
In a distant house

With a distant mind

Someone feels the same as me.

Dreamscape                                                                                          

Sometimes

When the sun goes down,

But does not take with it the weight of daily life,

I find my eyes looking up

To the lights that share their wisdom with my troubled mind.

Most days

My mind finds times when it acquiesces to the struggle

Of the pressures that the world thrusts upon it,

But still it finds refuge in the stars

That shelter from the ever-shifting flow

Of the illusions that press on me to change.

Every night

When my eyes travel the infinity above my head,

I am freed from careless thoughts that drift aimlessly in my mind

The openness of space greets me with its silent embrace.

Send me adrift around the stars,

Past the endless nebulas, planets and their suns!

Orbit me around the galaxies that stand indifferent to our human time:

A blink of an eye that’s quickly forgotten in the infinite.

Up there I find myself as the calm that permeates the emptiness

As I feel all those careless boundaries peel away…

I Send My Regards To The Philosopher

I Send My Regards To The Philosopher                                              

Lost in the somnolence of his solitude

The poet’s hell

Lies in the heaven of his existence

That he cannot see

With eyes closed

And back turned towards the future:

His game composed through endless hindsight,

But no sight for what is here…

But I am here…

And I looked into his eyes…

Lost

In his dualities and questions,

Frustrated with only heaven’s silence for an answer,

He vowed to fill the world with words,

But still stopped to listen to mine:

“Do not feel the guilt of change

As words seem to lose their meaning

As they fly away from you

And drift into the sky.

In this moment together

Do not fight time as it moves forward

And wait forever for abstract completion,

That escapes us even now

As we dance

Into the present’s dawn.”

Now that was old school.

Legion

Lyrics:

Enveloped in a sentiment,
a sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith that's pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviors.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive...

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second dreams hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

The Nature Of Time

Time: The Illusion Still In The One Who Sees (Heidegger)
Now, the future walks
As self, in the present, towards
The worn path to the past.



Time: The Fact Of The In-One (Laruelle)
The present future,
As yet unexperienced,
Holds present and past.
