in their own innate goodness.
they think it's God who makes them
behave, when it's the misuse of God
which can allow misbehavior to be
too easily forgiven. they pray it away.
then, their conscience is clear.

our transgressions belong to us...

the lovely young lady's plea.
though i'm unsure of what she means,
in myself is a set of three...
combined - all partial,

there is the one i think i am,
another, for others to see,
and then, the one behind the scenes,
who's hidden even from me.

no evidence is needed when the gut is heeded,
and nice to think there'll be forgiveness given
despite how lowly one has sinned or cheated.
an endorphin rush gives added push to words,
when shouted in some charismatic surge
of manipulation upon the captive brain,
[easier one might stop a runaway train].
surrounded by a fearing family shunning doubt,
to query is to dare the devil demon out.
false effective invectives perpetuate the lie,
prayed upon at birth and as you live and die.
every clown around you seems to be in thrall.
you feign to walk in step, but question every call.

Stephanie asked how...[anyone who is not happy enough with life,More Like This
please, read this. you can change things]
- before you read this, close your eyes and take a long
slow deep breath. hold onto that feeling.
- no guarantees, but for a good way to get centered
with youself and with your place in the universe, i
recommend meditation, namely transcendental meditation.
it's not a belief nor a religion - just a practice. all
you do is close your eyes and think a sound, (your mantra),
for twenty minutes twice a day. ideally, they'd like you
to pay for lessons, but you can easily teach yourself by
reading "meditation for dummies", available at Amazon.

My hands are bare...
My body shivers in the wind...
My legs are numb...
But nothing hurts!
My eyes are tired...
There's too much light!
I close them and I hide.
My body falls into an abyss
Which is above,
And higher than the sky.
I cease to breathe.
No sign of life...
But I do live!
Indeed...
I am divine
Long live the loveA young girl waits, her boy to meetMore Like This
Upon their hill, on rough hewn seat.
Nearby a tree, their names carved there
To show their love and mutual care.
Her troubled look becomes a frown,
A head that droops in looking down
Upon the grass where they did lay
so often on a Summer's day.
How sweet the name of love did sound
When shared between them, newly found.
Their days were filled with surging joy,
A pretty girl, a handsome boy.
The hill was their own special place,
Where she once kissed his smiling face.
He'd picked a flower upon that hill,
And offered it with earnest will.
Each day for weeks she had stood there,
As Winter strip
LonelyI want to feel something other than lonely,More Like This
Sweet caresses and kind words of endearment only for me,
Not the false kind truth and unconditionally given,
I need someone to hold me tell me these things will be okay.
The pressure is threatening the hold to much to deal with alone,
If I could just return to that one but no it would never work,
Still makes me wish for the one who loved me first,
I can no longer stand the pain like a Man dying in thirst,
Am I so bad that I don't deserve help comfort support undistrubed,
Or is it true the giving kind seem to get taken every time stealing light,
I find I get lost doing for all but then ther
TransfigurationHere is the breaking of the glass-More Like This
A stained and shattered past
Crucified and resurrected
Battered, disconnected.
Here is my life in patchwork seams
The threads frayed, still untied
When I discover what life means
Will I still need to cry?
Cut and unravel the tangle
Leave my heart unmangled
Leave me to shine transparently
So that my soul may see.
The gain through lossLoss, difficulty, and the long roads of trouble and pain we all will suffer. The ultimate and most trying times in our lives are powerful and difficult in the world, but we are going to be stronger than we are now in the end. Only by being a clinger to the Truth that God has set for us, we will be able to live well. Remember o the Story of Job, the wealthiest and most happy man of his time. Had everything, wealth, land, family, peace, and love from all. He had to suffer to test his love in God. It was rough, painful, and he even yelled at God, but only in trusting and loving God in loss, we can celebrate our lives in gain, peace,More Like This
My mind produces odd thingsTo be or not to beMore Like This
You mean a lot me
You silly man
You in the fuzzy sweater
That smells of so many memories
Not that I have the foggiest idea of what you mean
I just know you mean something
Maybe memories
Reliving distant summer here in the heart of winter
Maybe you mean doubts and confusion
Twisting in my heart like the devil's brew
Whirling in a chaotic cacaphony
Maybe you mean a secret that I daren't admit
Not even in these silent watches of the night
Where my life slips away with loud music
And my soul with writing out philosophy
Or maybe I am just writing to write
To hear my own voice expressed on computer screens

The wind sweeps through, than they hit the ground.
The beauty is astonishing, peaceful and relaxing.
A mind at ease, a memory that's everlasting.
But my mind stalls, and my heart skips.
Fear overpowers me, and my feet slip.
The snow-covered path is now crimson red.
You came to save me, but killed me instead.
A sharp pain, here and there.
My bones snap, and I lose all air.
I try to beat this, but the temptation to fail wins.
I fall down to hell, with one last deadly sin.
I climb the steps to heaven, and my knees bruise.
Determination has got me fighting, I've got nothing to loose

weak as the wake
of the tepid trembling
glass
breaking over the sand.
How hard it is
To Treasure smiles
in a sweaty bath of
fear, or—
or to honour vows
recall sins
haul prayers from our faded minds.
To turn in such
faint
madness
is to discover a web of feet and hands, disjointed, discombobulated, unable to be grasped
in supplication or remorse
(The household names have gone now).
Leaden,
with half-dead voices
or none at all—
unbending under the sky's great agony
unsalted wounds of the spirit—
fingers clumsily find fellows

Hold as the soreness stretches.
Unyielding.

With a shotgun strapped
Underneath their desk.
They send out submarines
Unprepared for battle,
Divers without tanks of oxygen,
But, to the chief,
They send back steak,
Not rare enough.

The feet that stomp,
The hands that slap

Summoned and asked to behave.

What disregard,

Eyes, brain, fingers, pen
It's unfair, it's so unfair
That I pin it
Sprawled and helpless
Without mercy, I dissect
I meddle
And it becomes tainted
The whole vast bright world
Reduced to a stuttering rhythm
Anaesthetised with cotton wool
And splinters of ice
Bound to do my bidding,
Tell the story I think it should
I will look back, I must look back
Not with shame but with remorse
At how callously I fouled

I euthanize my failing hope give it to naught where it belongs.
Thou love me not, we know this truth. I finally acquiesce to fate.
I thousand lies I told myself to ease the bruise I contemplate.

Ill begotten travesty I see it now from empty height.
Were your silken words of truth, your actions louder they would speak.
I lay to rest my orphaned heart to walk my freedoms lonely street.

He charged me like a one-ton bull,
deranged, afraid, eager.
But instead of waving a red gold embroidered capote,
I held a weed-whacker in my dream,
blades whirling full speed.
It was difficult at first to stay still
while metal ground on flesh, then bone,
his blood spurting out covering
my face in warmth as I stood unblinking,
but grew easier until all that was left to cut
was air.
For a moment all was still -
the smell of rusted metal fresh
with blood clung to the air,
the sound of gnashing steel and breaking bone
drummed in my ear, and
breath froze in my mouth.

Most of the time I see my home in open spaces, only for a moment or two at a time, but long enough to believe it exists. A glimpse of pale creamy sky punched by a slow sun above the oily waterfront, the moon coming out of the clouds just above the top of mountain in a moment before the scene shifts, the sunset above a thick hunter green forest where you can smell the chill in the air through the window glass. There is always a promise of familiarity and there is always a promise of losing the ambiguity of spaces and distances. The only way to find your home is to lose
van Gogh, the Orient: A LamentMore Like This
When van Gogh lost his soul
to Japonisme,
'twas no bushy-eyed barbarian
babbling about bushido
that enthralled him, but
a docile geisha's pallid wrist,
pouring barbiturates
in his whisky –
a dominatrix
of cherry blossom
in his soul.
No wonder –
when van Gogh lost his mind
to a gunshot,
'twas no starry-eyed samurai
supplicating for seppuku
that pulled the trigger, but
a dying puppy's whimper,
storms of samsara hanging
by a whisker –
a decussation
of dead sunflowers
in his mind.

Paintings and dolls come alive at midnight

as a marble rolled across the table,
its path illuminated by the light
from the window -
(light still entered that house then)
rolled and eventually lost
its grounding, fell like a misguided Columbus
off the edge, rolled under the radiator,
hot to touch and growling.
Then Christmas and the wrapping paper
strewn about the apartment, blood on the carpet.
I never could remember what happened
between the before and after,
but I remember the dark, frantic motion,
the lullaby siren.
While they methodically separated
shirt from body, bone from flesh,
my hand remained in hers.

It's as if the sun, that fleeting giver of warmth and luminence, isn't shining as much as transplanting itself into a comatose patient. The sky and all beneath her lies open on the operating table of the universe as Sol opens an incision. She lies, patiently waiting, as the gleaming golden surgeon cuts her in two, pushing aside her shimmering insides and coating them with a false veneer of flesh. She remains passive as the golden brilliance of the scalpel envelops her very core, expanding to push aside the glittering amulet of the moon. The famous bluMore Like This

I finished published KKIAoD video part 3Great news, everybody. I finished making a third part of the video version of Kristina Kittensworth's Inflated Adventures of Dreamlands (or KKIAoD for short). It took me two days to make this video while rikukid24 help me voicing the characters and he voiced Mushbeak, but he can't sing very well since he said he's not good at singing and I help him practice singing. But when things went wrong, I decided to replace the part that Mushbeak singing into me singing and especially I fix the lyrics in the speech bubbles right. I already cut out all the panels from each comic page from last few months or a year ago. First day, it took time for my best friend, Van Hikari known as :iconrikukid24: to memorize Mushbeak's speaking line, "So any story you wanna tell us, Kristina?" He sounds similarly as the voice of Spyro the Dragon from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure the way he talks like that.More Like This
