White tiles
well examined
blue shift spray
fortitude in clocks
time dimensions
weighing in
cobalt cartesian
fully entrained
we make homage
dead players revolt
live satellite dawn
angel hair, down
slipping existence
fruit melee
peel for peel
gainful resistance
meta juice boy
we're all shook up

When white tiles isn't enough lets go more :)

In the ink-stained nebula
this the course of the abyss
light as in eternity
there are the ones
who were taken
within the sacrifice
their hearts beat serene
these roads to the stars
are an empty conveyance
I tell you this
it is a trick of the light
now servants of the void
I hear you say quietly
were they sculpted by night?
were they cast from stone?
my friend, my friend
this dusty reliance
on faith as it suits you
yet still we shall not perish

Time goes by so quickly
Here I sit with a glass of wine
And the memory of you
Memories of the past
Can soothe the soul
But memories of regret
Can make you numb
All possibilities are left
Only in your mind

Listen to the wind as it blows
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free

When we were young we were not hung upon anything
We could be young and discover
The goodness of life as a song to sing
And then one day the world gave us a pill
And we became ill with so many broken dreams
Instead of today we went in the way of what tomorrow brings
And when we got old we tried to hold
To a glimpse of remembering
Of when we were young and not hung upon anything

I finally did it!
After months of playing this game
I defeated Bowser
He kept trying to stomp on me
I got out of the way
He then fell through the floor
I then rescued the princess
I like the old style video games
The newest system I have is an XBox from 2001
I just can't see spending all that money on the new
When I love the old
Same thing goes for my music
Taylor Swift
Nah
Cyndi Lauper
Yeah!

Close the doors, close the curtains.
Put on your music and an old T- Shirt.
Have cerial and coffee on the table.
Run a bath with scented oil, soak and just block out the world.
Shave what needs to be shaved.
Paint your nails.
Cream everything that needs to be creamed.
Become a Lady, an enchanting Women again just for you.

Sitting on the gate with Rose
waiting for the boys
Where are those lads with scruffy clothes
still playing with their toys.
Here comes Jimmy swaggering
catapult in hand
He's wondering what Bill and George
have deviously planned.
Jumping down we greet our pal
as other boys join in
Hopping with excitement now
making such a din.
Down the lane we tumble
what mischief shall we plan
Scrumping in the orchard
on Farmer Giles land.
A butterfly with outstretched wings
warms up in the morning sun
Wonder where he goes at night
when the day is done.
Let's make a camp in yonder wood
play hide and seek and track
I'd love to be alone in there
with Jimmy's brother Jack.
How time has flown since first we met
down by the garden gate
My own young one's now take my place
as down the path they wait.

I gave it all up,
Just to have it all again.
And if I had to start over,
I would still do the same.

This is from a story of mine involving a Spartan who interacts with the world outside New Sparta, and though he realized that he is more than what he seems, he still keeps to what he always was.

Within the depths of my being
I feel a love for Beauty
Beauty is awe inspiring
and praise invoking
During a quiet moment
on some deserted spot of nature
my soul rises
from this earthly plane
to celestial heights
the mind is at peace
and the soul communicates
with some mysterious cosmic power
that is so pure
so beautiful
and so overwhelming
that to me
it is absolute
In such moments
I feel
so helpless
so insignificant
my soul is lost
within this mysterious realm
whose magnitude fills the universe
for now I am just a part
of this mysterious consciousness
In such moments
I probe my logical mind
-my scientific mind;
I explore my upbringing
and psychological background
to test the validity
of this consciousness
but they are all silent
It is as if this is a domain
so convincing in itself
that logic stands helpless
Feelings reign supreme then
-such intense feelings:
peace generating
and beauty creating
that self is overwhelmed
by its magnitude
Ego is defeated
and the soul is set free
-completely free
from every thing
that binds it
on this earthly plane
for I become a part
and yet the whole
of this mystery
-a paradox in itself
Is this truth
-Absolute Truth?
