A Dream-Like State

A Dream-Like State

A dream, a wonderfully realistic dream
that can turn your whole life and character upside down
it only takes a minute then your hooked and trapped for a spell
no matter how many times you tell yourself "its too good to be true" you wont leave. you start falling fast into quicksand
pulling you down with nothing to grab onto before you know it your floating
your knees turned into jello, your insides into butter, and your head into mush
you breathe in Ecstasy, your picture becomes clear again just for an instant
as you realize nothing good can stay
but you spend all your nights revisiting the wonderful bliss
that was and will always be nothing but a memory
and if your not careful you could spend your whole life living in a false reality
never wanting to wake up and leave your moment of Ecstasy

Ecstasy will pass with time, if the foundation was not built upon mutual love and friendship it will crumble and disappear with the wind. 10 from me.

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID LOVE IS NOT OUR TO KEEP ONLY TO BORROW. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS QUITE TRUE OR NOT BUT I CAN TELL YOU I BORROW MINE FOR A LONG TIME! I STILL AFTER 17 YEARS HOLD MY FIRST TRUE LOVE IN THE SHADOWS OF MY HEART, EACH AND EVERY LOVE I HAVE HAD I NEVER GAVE BACK, I LOCKED IT DEEP WITHIN. MAYBE NOT HEALTHY, JUST NEVER COULD QUITE LET GO. OVER THE YEARS I TRIED TO FORGET, I TRIED TO REMEMBER, I EVEN TRIED TO PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPEN CREATING MY OWN REALITY OF SORTS, LOL. NONE OF IT WORKED TOO WELL, I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPEREINCE THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS LIVE WITH IT, LET THE PAIN BECOME A PART OF YOU AND GROW FROM IT, LET IT MAKE YOU STRONGER, BUILD YOU UP. LIFE IS DIFFICULT IS THE FIRST GREAT TRUTH OF BUDDISM, I FIND THIS SIMPLE QOUTE HAS ALOT OF TRUTH IN IT, IT IS TROUGH LIFE AND THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF LIFE THAT WE LEARN AND GROW, BOTH THE GOOD AND THE BAD BECOME APART OF WHO WE BECOME. "FORGETTING IS CHALLEGING A THOUSAND SOLDIERS TO BLOODY DEFEAT BUT REMEMBERING IS CALLING THE DEVIL HIMSELF TO YOUR DOOR, BEWARE OF THE DEALY CRY, BEWARE OF THE LONGING MEMORY", "LIVING IN THE PAST IS LIKE TRYING TO HOLD YOUR BREATH FOREVER". BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS KEEP WRITING, LET YOU EMOTIONS BOIL TO THE POINT OF ORGASMIC ERRUPTION AND THEN LET YOUR PEN FLOW AND YOU HEART SPILL TILL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT THE DEAD OF SILENCE, ONLY THEN CAN YOU MORE ON... PURITY OF THE SOUL, JOURNEY WELL!!! ANGEL

Yea i have slowly come to realize that myself its just better to live with it, the only way i let it out is thru my writing..Thats a very lovely quote, im going to remember that. Thank you.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
