A place made for trees by starshinesMonet, literature

Literature

A place made for trees

In another life when we are both made of leaves Where the sun does not burn quite so sharply I will tell you of all these things In a place where honesty does not result in legal action Where legal action is not the offspring of a person's care full voice Where hurt is not our intention And love is our foresight. In another life, where we are both trees Living to give and reciprocate A life created to produce carbon And we are beautiful no matter how our bark is stained or mottled Where our judgments are not pride based, Because we are more concerned is fighting off a plague of bugs, insecticide or anthracnose Where the verdict

Map Point by starshinesMonet, literature

Literature

Map Point

Staring out of these guarded windows My freedom is not limited by their bars And my heart is soaring the ocean To visit you. I left a part of me back there in your eyes In your embrace. But this journey brings me a lesson that require my presence So many awful dreams in this place of longing So we start from scratch to pass the time A constant overcast has stolen my reflection As well as my gateway to the gods I will return to you safely, in one piece love Baring more of myself than before Know that I am taking good care of the heartbeat you gave me And I treasure all the memories Involving your bright light.

Frienemy by starshinesMonet, literature

Literature

Frienemy

Frienemy I come from a place of fear. Where judgments loss hatred prejudice are our virtues Where we use blindness to guide us Not to strengthen our other senses But to mask what's really there for us. I come from a place of anger Where I long for harmony and nurture Others mark me as a seamstress of deceit And I sew this belief in my psychic soul Imagine, a wise teacher once sang Imagine all the people, living in peace. Perhaps this concept will vex you Perhaps I have become your excuse for rage Like a divorce whispering to lovers hatefully But I used to think as an adolescent "I could hate anyone with more skill t

Literature

Contradistinction

Life. in Technicolour it seems much better like time wasted in a stereo clock In utero. In this age of black & white writings of gray are considered platinum titanium i can tell that I am pretty underneath this exterior i tell myself if I were skinny i would spend so much time on skill My preoccupation is not in colour I am vivid in vanity Solidified by sobriety And in chiaroscuro chalkiness i find a mask to paint myself when all I want is peacefull-ness to lose this mask I long for Why do I advocate this narcissism hollowness? It doesn't acquire a mindful rest or even

I'm still struggling... by starshinesMonet, literature

Literature

I'm still struggling...

As am i. Ecstatic, in the faces of coquette transience Tearing you down, trying to get though to myself Why are you so much like everyone else? Perhaps if you moved to Manhattan and became a SATC gal You would find yourself in the over expensive Greenwich cafe' Overlooking your artsy Village loft? We are so different, we stand in pose Angst for the memories, like Hilfiger Look at me here -- beat poet using labels instead of icons and mentors What a superficial country these hearts are To lie, to cheat, to steal, to beg, to bone We do lie as we whisper hate into the ear of our beloved ones And then sh

Number 9 Dream by starshinesMonet, literature

Literature

Number 9 Dream

The soft smile and The suns that lie against golden pools of fireflies flicker with secretive sunshine and rust from old souls These fireflies in your flickering eyes, all smiling Is this via friendly whisper or cantankerous longing? Where does your interest lie? There she is, this kind girlfriend, sleeping in the corner Wonder how she stirs in you. How your goose flesh respond to her. How soft is her skin in comparison to my hessssssssssssssssssistation If I slip my heart into sweet smelling sonnets and affectations desires For your guitar stained fingers and locked up memories. Like these whispers I hear, look

Literature

Amnesiac Smoke

You are my ghostwriter, my amanuensis My lovely golden light child Why does your skin smoke? Your lungs creep this blackened creature? I hear the cries, your body, your baby They call to me in amnesiac tears and gamma rays Will this holy datura of yours ever become cloyful? Perhaps i only wish to be your knight who stumbles down the stairs at night Sweet cherub whose brilliance is smogged by smoke and confusion And a vainglory need to prove your greatness to those who cannot respect this blessed ground you posses. Is disconsolance delicious as it begins to ravage and vandalize your heart, darling? Is smoke sickness terribly tr

You Are Like Peace by starshinesMonet, literature

You Are Like Peace

You Are Like Peace You are the the face the passes by in the [reflection] of a window's gaze Fleeting against my eyes into a memory of something that will pass in the future. You are the taoz passion lemonade I order overpriced & tardy , But always worthy & delicious. You are open mike night and the plush couch cushions of a naked lounge The newest favorite in a steady collection of novels that will be timeless when seen with both eyes open The pages of which remind me of dust bunnies and wisdom and a treasured, loved friend.

Smokey Mirror of Myself

Smokey Mirror of Myself A violin's string holds more continuance than this next line Because her head is so scattered that she always falls behind And unfortunately that gives her an appearence of being benign But really the key lies in readings between what's defined And what lives in the smokey malt mirror of her mind Between the curse of these verses Inside the trill of her throat I want to slash through and open her ambition For she is so uninvolved [ inculpated ] within the parameters of her life There really are no boundaries but she's obsessed with the strife And the "growth" that comes from the conclusion I

Literature

Snow falling Upward

When the snow falls upwards When these impossible dreams come true Then maybe I'll consider thinking twice about you. 'Cause once wasn't enough and three times didn't charm But spinning it n circles wasn't bound to get us far Two times I thought, and actions were the same Now we're stuck in this match where we're both losin' the game. Your childish acts & ridiculous ways Are only an extreme of your idiotic games By the preportion of the 1/2 empty glass that you sport You use to forget all the fear in your court. As a blithering fool you don't know what you state And only made it worse throwing my anger bait. Because yes I'll admi

New Hobby by starshinesMonet, literature

Literature

New Hobby

Disposed to break your guarantee You forefeit your integrity And somehow are too lenient with your responsibility. It seems as though you think your actions won't affect But the truth of it is Your sore sight of foresight left us in a wreck. In the list of broken promises that you forgot to check Remaining there by me is a mistrust of your love Because you didnt think what draining of our dough consisted of And leaves me little choice but to bestow This letter of apology to shut off all cash flow Higher expectations had me believe That you keep what you promise and say what you mean but @ mere 18 you're livin' in a cliche yo

If you couldn't tell, Confucism is our latest "religious" study. Hmm... no wonder the law prohibits religion from influencing state -- if it did all the corruptness would be forced to dissapate. This religion's rule states one must be who they are to each of the relationships in their life. A parent, a teacher, a child, a spouse, a government, a people/subject -- you pick.   The most concrete law is this "if the people have no faith (confidence) in their rulers, there is no standing for the state (it cannot stand)."   If we think about this for a moment, and then notice the world around us, we will see a similarity between it and the pa
