The little things are
infinitely
the most
important
Overlooked
taken for granted
unnoticed
often forgotten
Existing for only
the briefest of time
seemingly
insignificant
The wish I had’s
or could have done’s
what we want most
when they’re gone
In the end
little things
are infinitely
the most important

Life is infinitely stranger
than anything which the mind
of man could invent
infinitely stranger
Horrors worries wonders
the mind can create
but life in all its glory
is infinitely stranger
Some seen some unseen
yet still there
slowly creeping by
gone at warp speed
Light or dark places
where the mind is not
life is infinitely
stranger

Where this is no
imagination
there is no
horror
For it is the things
imagined
that bring the most
terror
Those that dwell in
imagination
dark corners hidden spaces
of the mind
Horror in complete
reality
truly ever exists only in
imagination

There are always
some lunatics about
not very far away
either
Those that walk
beside us
in front or behind us
about
Lunatics
inside us
concealed yet let out
always some
Keeping us entertained
somewhat crazy
it would be a dull world
without them

Alone is what I have
Alone is what protects me
insular walls
insulated
My mind myself
imagination alone
always engaged
and alone
Voices speak to me
no one is there
they come from inside
alone is what I have
Visions of the past
the future
everything everyone
alone protects me

The world is full of obvious things
which nobody by any chance ever observes
gliding by the invisibility
of it all
Unable to see the unseen
regardless of how obvious
it may be as they go on
obliviously
Consumed with self
it is as if their eyes
are unable to focus fully
on anything outside
Nobody by any chance ever
observes this world so completely
full of obvious things
obviously

All the feels
applied to everything
people places things
sentiment
Never a moment
just to be
you must have the
feels
Emotional overflow
life colored by emotions
at every turn
sentiment
If only you knew
that sentiment is
a chemical defect found
on the losing side.

Twisting and turning
like a feather in the wind
in the palm of my hand
no escape
Manipulated and broken
as if clay
under my fingers
without a voice
Someday never comes
unable to get away
trapped inside
controlled
Wishing for tomorrow
nothing left now
as I burn the heart
out of you today

Red skies in morning
sailors take warning
there’s an east wind coming
all the same
Calm and soft at dawn
red orange pink lights
coming through the trees
easy and peaceful
Lurking in the distance
east wind lies waiting
it’s time to come soon
peace to break
Coming all the same
it cannot be slowed
east wind blows
sailors take warning

Hearing people say what you cannot do
too old, too late, too hard
voices that are constantly speaking
do not listen
Voices that doubt
no faith in who you are
in what you can do
make them silent
Murmuring failures
giving life to faults
foul breath covers you
turn away
Inside yourself others speak
strength, passion, ability
daily growing louder
drowning out the other voices
