What You Can Do

You may not be able to indulge in philosophical flights of fancy, or stay afloat in a conversation about the events of the day. You may not be able to do any of these things or some other, but there are thousands that can. What you can do that no one else can is make me feel the way you do.

The world is so close
But, I am apart from it
Through the glass; I look

Broken World

This world is broken. Perhaps, irreconcilably so. People die for reasons long since forgotten; if they were ever truly known to begin with. Voids in lives are filled with objects forced into holes that they cannot fit. Everyone walks around waiting for something that they fear may not come. Yes, this world is broken and has been for some time now.

For those that see the fractured state of our lives, most are powerless to fix it. Some never would want a change, as they revel in and exploit the world from their detached vantage point. The improbability of someone seeing the world as it is and being of a position and desire to change it is staggering.

Yet, people persevere, perhaps hoping things will change; perhaps just numb to the woes of the world after being exposed for far too long. Or, maybe, this is how things will always be: The hand of man guiding too strongly the path of evolution and making wrong turns.

Somehow Important

You are important somehow
I dont know in what way
But I know I need you
Please dont ask for a label
Even if I wanted to I couldnt
Friendship. Love. Hate.
Maybe I want all
Or maybe none
What I know I want is to be near you

A Gift

To know you is to know myself
A part of me lives so strong in you
This is a side I see so rarely in others
In this way to be around you is a gift
A gift that I hope you will give to me

Changing Things

How many things could be changed to make this perfect without losing why I want it. Are the problems the reason why I long for this so much. Would being able to have this make it not what I desire. Perhaps as it is now is the best this could have ever been.

Commentary:
I wrote this piece inspired by meeting a person that, had circumstances been slightly different, I would of tried to form a relationship with which I think could of sprouted. This led me to think “if these problems weren’t present, would I have pursued this”, or, would it spoil the very reason I wish I could pursue it. Sort of a paradoxical idea I came up with that inspired me to write something I was proud of for the first time in a while.

Imperfections

Imperfections are how I know you.
My picture of you is created by these.
I delight in finding each and every one.
These flaws are your soul to me.
You may wish you had none.
But without them I would lose my love.

Headline – “NASA Almost Blows Up Moon”

As many readers will know tonight marked the occasion of a “Super Moon”. These rare events mark when the moon is much closer to earth than normally and appears much larger in the night sky. Apparently, no one at NASA was aware of this occurance. “Well, we honestly thought the moon was finally moving in for an attack on earth,” said NASA Senior Director Mark Spitz. “We at NASA have been monitoring the moon for signs of hostility years now. Thankfully, the Supervisor at Arms this night was not as trigger happy as others might of been else we could of been at total war with the moon at this moment.”

In other news President Obama has promised to change the standing order NASA has against the moon to a more diplomatic first response.

The World is a Beautiful Danger

Afraid of the beautiful danger the world holds. I keep myself from ever getting too close. Something catches my eye. Something I cant help but approach. I walk toward the captivating thing, my gaze focused solely on it. As I draw near a warmth fills my being. As I touch the beauty, the pain is severe. I should of known. For nothing here is safe despite how it might appear.

Zombie Do’s and Zombie Don’ts…

This post will start off on a personal note to inform anyone reading that I have recently moved to Flagstaff. You may be asking yourself what that has to do with anything; I will be extremely busy getting settled in here. As such, for the next few weeks there probably won’t be any type of post that I had originally planned to write due to time constraints. I do want to keep the consistency of the blog so I will try to do something that will tie into some future writings.
