Finitely So: Forever, Never & Always

It seems as though we often use words like forever and never to express ourselves and represent the fact that we are extremely committed to this or that.  In actuality this is false to the nth degree.  As humans we change our minds as much as we change clothes in some cases so to say you could  love someone forever is as ridiculous as saying you never speed!  *Pause* Bring the car to a screeching halt.  Are you really trying to convince those around you or yourself of such outlandishness?  Here's the COLD HARD TRUTH people change they grown apart they become entirely different at times, situations arise in which we have to ask ourselves the hard questions like: is this really what I wanted?  So I leave you with this, next time before you decide to say i'll never do this or I always do that take the time, No really take the time, to assess just what is being asked of you and if there's any inkling of a shadow of a doubt don't even think about saying "I forever, never, or always.

Black Cherry

Dee Rocka

sitting at my desk eating black cherries trying remember poetic and pathetic are not synonymous ,though both can be tragic, focus me so mental magic conjure the true out of blue and color me something new ,outside the lines defined in the minds of those who find time to pass judgment, pay no mind you can’t afford that fine

    Dee Rocka Smiles for dreams that never wondered merrily down a streams, still somehow gleam like silvery mythril, yet stronger that stolen seconds weighted like millennia amongst the moments of silence, what we don’t say can heal what we say now can surly kill, I suffer under the will of creation, temptation lingers on my lips , kiss the poetry make a new baby

    fall sweet cherry blossom under the burden of being so beautiful gravity too, desires to hold you close, host no otherworldly boast coast gently down and rest in the earth and ashes, cashes of treasures untold you hold in the universe of your delicate pedals, poet’s meddle with powers they can’t fully perceive but believe in them despite eyes lies and ears compromised capacity for consuming fiction and virtual reality. We love this ability to connect abstract and subtract causality making the metaphor actual reality, yo these black cherries are sweet as the words we weave I see baskets of material what will you do with it Alonzo?

Just Friends?

Many times we find that relationships can quickly turn from fairy-tale to nightmare in .05 seconds, and usually when this happens we just want it to END.  What about when the fairy-tale comes to an end and there are no hard feelings no resentment just a "mutual" consensus that it just wasn't meant to be.  As children we learn fairy-tales don't ever last and there's always a last page always an ending to every story whether happy or disparaging.  That brings us to the next point; the premise if you will, can two people both mutually exclusive in a committed honest relationship go from lovers to friends?  In my own experiences I found it easier to just cut them off completely go my own way and never look back, I'm the type that once we're done we're DONE.  On my quest for spiritual personal emotional growth and maturity I have found that one may not go through life like this so moving forward I have tried other methods like say: friendship.  I must say as one normally reserved and emotionally introverted individual it's especially quite hard!  So a parting thought for the day: Can they ever look upon each other without that deep meaningful longing in their eyes?  Can they ever be "just friends"  

Lyre

Loveless desire 
Unbridled passion 
Ensuing flames
Consummation of the host
Release? ... NONE!
I knock at the door
No answer?
Forgotten keys 
So I wait
(( Patiently ))
No answer?
My soul grows restless but I do remain
Lingering
Waiting
Hoping
Frozen in a LOVE
Long expired
Thoughts racing conspiring against the host
Betrayed
Betrayal of the mind
The clock doth strike MIDNIGHT
I grow weary losing ...
My breath???
No???
I exhale, 
My soul escapes me 
My Time dwindles 
Yet I remain
I remember the song
Your song
Remembered yet not quite placed
YES, just like a lyre
Immortally yours
My Resonance
Your chain
Forever bound to this place
Remember the last kiss???
Oh how it felt
Warm Earth
Hot Sun
Fiery Souls 
Only in dreams now
My GIFT to you
A soul for a song
An eternal sweet black kiss
In exchange
For an eternally pure song
Bound forever
Your curse
My release
I waited
How kind 
Only in dreams now 
Real was it???
Fabric now
My regards to a caged songbird
Sirens Sing
Forevermore 

Lost Boy

Pleasurable pain
Look into me
Do you see my soul
Know ye the measure of a man?
I have long struggled with this place
Toiling
Pacing 
Pleading
Bewildered, Beguiled
I had waited 
Oh so patiently
Virtuous Vice
Innocence, purity, frailty, meekness, fear
Things lost in the fire of KNOWLEDGE && DESIRE
Truly lost???
or hidden???
Perhaps transposed?
Recreation by choice
It was lost
Something so clung to
Something so coveted
All to just BE
EXISTENCE
What is it that I live for???
The Struggle
The good great fight
To know
Ego, Egere, Egi, Actum
To lose is to find 
Truly it is so 
Written since before time

My Black

The suffocating black chasm [suffering, oppression, hatred, anger]
surrounds all ... EVERYTHING ...
Blinding, Binding, Grueling, Ruling, Exasperating darkness
Bright as night, clearer than all days ... Oh yes the days ... long since forgotten ... always and forever ...
Covering and smothering, using and abusing ... in and out, in and out, out and in time ... forever more ...
The truest lies of truer lives soothes the soul ... what's left of it as they say ... confusion, most profound elusion tricky evasive, founded first there within ... take life take flight go and grow ... boldest blackest ... 
So so so soulful ... sing me melody for my black touches light and truly withers and dies ... 
It was said that it would be ETERNAL ... oh yes truest of lies

Yours

So tell me NOW && truly
To what is it that you search?
What does your heart pine for?
Is it ephemeral pleasure?
Temporary release?
Or is it so much more?
I stand before you 
OPEN
Bare
Naked
Look not through me 
But look into my HEART
It's OPEN
Yours
My GIFT
So so fragile
So so irreplaceable
Will you guard it 
Like the grail of Holy
Or
Will you toss it aside
Like novelty
It is yours
The choice of the matter
&&
The thing itself
Yours
Your gift
Your decision
Your rite
Your burden
Yet choose wisely
For I do FADE
Ashen to dust
Dust to eternity
Eternity back to nothing
But I shall wait
&&
Forever more if it is so
Yours

Boyhood ends
The man begins
Spring-time bloom
The bird takes flight
Darkness fades && brighter days arise
Anew
Rebirth
Renewal
Self: to lose is to find
Thoughts progress
Pulse quickens
Self-aware
Powerful mind
Soft touch

Let Go

The words don't quite come out right when it is 
   that they come out at all
It would seem as though my tongue gets 
   utterly tied && tangles
What is it about you that makes me lost, losing sight
   of all the things before you (( me ))
I want to be free of the spell you have on me 
   or do I???
Am I so captured by it, by this mere notion of "us"
   that I utterly lose it???
Do ye have any answers??? You know me, full of them
   yet I possess not a one
Powerless
Yes, I will relinquish it all of it, to you whether
   it be meant or not
IT IS YOURS
For once no thought about such heartfelt matters
IT IS YOURS
Only you

Junius

Brown-skinned man
Charmingly so
So so so perfect
Out of reach???
Utterly so
Moonlit walks
Intimate gatherings
No You
No Me
Only Us
One Heart
One Vessel
Two souls intermingled 
Oh how I longed
For just a moment
All it takes 
it's all that I require
Then I am complete
I could end in the next moment
&&
Truly I would have LIVED
Attained it all
Love
Longing
Desire
Awaken me
