I pour myself over the crooked canvas,
The words I give you
Come out with a twisted imprint;
How else would you take it
When all i say
You decipher as an invasion?
This isn’t a piece about saving the world
Finding my inner peace, learning to forgive…
Nothing so superficial, no, its more than that,
This is a piece about what resides at my core
The anger that keeps me under water;
This is a piece about the hardest stories
I’ve ever had to share;
How loving her is a bigger task each day,
How I wish to be a better father,
How I want to have a fragment of my mother’s light
How I want my sister to achieve her dreams
How I want my brother and I to achieve happiness
How I want to leave a cemented legacy
How I want those who “act” like they care about me
To eat a brick.
This is more than poetry
This is a black hole opening at the core
An inter-galactic vacuum making short work
Of what we illustrate as our conscious existence;
This is ink straight out of deep space
Lighting up the canvas that is our universe,
Mushroom clouds at the center, my heart,
… You thought the Big Bang was real?
No, this is.

O.D. 
Strong and cunning.
Thank you.
So, you’re no longer under water and back with us? Lol jk
Nice 🙂
Lol thanks 🙂
Those who act like they care, are living their reality, let go. Why carry the weight of their perception? You see it differently, live your reality.
I really need to learn playing with words so beautifully from you. This piece was nothing but ‘GREAT’. 😀
Thank you Ananya, that is very nice of you to say ❤
Moved.
I miss you ❤
OD! Wow. I love this. Personally…i could not have read it at a better time. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thank you 🙂 ….Where have you been lol? did you switch blogs?
Yep. I had a stalker. Closed the whole thing. But, I’ve missed writing/reading. So, I started a new one. Had to use ‘insidious’ though!! Love that word. Hopefully the ass-***e stalker won’t find me… I’ve missed reading your stuff my friend! I will post something in a day or two. Just started this today.
I’ve missed you…and your writing…wait, this stalker…do you know them personally? I hope they didn’t threaten you somehow
No. They are a blogger. Here on wp.
We might need to report them…you shouldn’t have to feel trapped here…it should be your safe haven.
OD, I think he is mentally unstable. I was trying to just ignore him. I would prefer to do that. If he somehow finds me, then I will. Ugh.😟
😦 he sucks
Yep.
Welcome back!!
Thank you dear…its good to be back! 🙂
loved this the most :
This is ink straight out of deep space
Lighting up the canvas that is our universe,
Mushroom clouds at the center, my heart,
