solitude is my escape
temporary until desolate
mental detox
emotional calm
away from the tempest
a whirlwind of frantic
the pitch pierces our souls
conversations unnecessary
relentless persuasion
grows to resent
even with the kindest hearts
situations turn to dissent
looking for a great escape
hoping for peace of mind
wondering if it’s something I’ll ever find
time out.

Overly-planned, the burden of this commitment grows
Traces of doubt linger, but for how long.

Faithfully leaping through obstacles, fear, love.
Opportunity’s cost is our greatest expense.

What must it take to prove the future,
Certainty is un. Unforseen. Unknown. Unconditional. Understood.

Faith. It’s roots deeper than the seeds of Adam. Err is indeed our genesis.

Pride swallows us whole. Prevents us from truly loving. To give ones self up. To be brought to nothing for faith, for love is the self actualization of our souls.

Love. Wholly. Completely. Unconditionally. Is what I have to give. Dare I ask for it in return.

Humility is a gift. It’s prevalence minimal.

At the verge of fail. Approaching the border of eternity. I look across the landscape and see…

content, but uncertain
these times are new york
filled with turbulent emotion
upheaval, despair, love.
it drives paranoia
it encourages fear
dreams of fate serve better
than the fate of lost dreams
this atmosphere, soaked with intense pressure
opens the gates for a downpour
of relief
of anticipation
of question
?

Waiting in line to get tickets to see Al Pacino do Shakespeare’s “A Merchant of Venice” hasn’t been too bad. The kids got here at 2am and spent the night sleeping on the streets of New York. Yes, they are all crazy. But so are the 300 other people in line. I just showed up to entertain my friends. And be their amigo delivery boy.

Now it’s raining. Hahahhahaha.

desperation:
drives innovation, creativity and inspiration,
desperation: drives us into a mess
is the root of change
is rock bottom: nowhere to go but up
hoping it will provide the proper kick in the ass,
desperation has found me hoping
hoping that it will pass.
