16 At War

um 16 at war
16 at war with life
16 at war with destiny
16 at war with the universe
16 at war with the world
16 at war in iraq
16 at war with my soul
16 at war with my spirit
16 at war with teenage ways
16 at war with you
16 at war with whom?

Joyful
Art
Marigold
Envy/ Enviable
Calm/ Tranquil
Illusion/imaginary
Asphodel

As i sit calm, tranquil and joyful envying the art of my illusion sensing it's concrete.
Imaginary to the thought but beautiful as the asphodels that is painted on.
The colors of the marigold warms the inside with this combustion feeling of illusion.
Art it is, which captivated the being of being eviable.

When you mean it

When you mean it i'll believe it
if you say it i'll repeat it
but when you mean it ill believe it

Let's be clear, what you say is what you mean then
when will you mean it or believe it

Do you trust yourself to believe what you say
When you mean it
Do you trust me and what i say
When i say i mean it

You have serious issues
Seriously go work it with some one
Don't forget to trust

Then tell me when you really mean it.

As rain falls

As rain falls upon me, it hits every wound healing one by one
i lay there and rain falls whispering in my ear telling me to enjoy the eternal life it has
healing my wounds that have been tormented and rejected
It tells me don't feel pain, let it banish from your soul
Let it crumble in your head
Rain falls down and flashes an eternal light upon me
As i become the unbroken angel of rain
Discovering the wondrous powers of rain
As it tells me, you will never feel pain, you feel joy
