Time To Erase The World

[thatguy]

A new place
utterly fresh
not a tick or a tock
alone, comfortable, limitless
a child without an age

I can smile, I can breathe,
I can do anything

The most beautiful silence
Bright cool dark solid or hot
It starts

Ancient beyond absolutely anything
but this is the beginning,
it's never been seen

I'm invincible,
immune,
this is taken for granted
never thought of

A desert hotter than a billion suns
and brighter
daytime, then cool night
either lasting as long as it suits us
forever satisfying

we've forgotten where we came from
how it was

here the truly limitless blossoms
a flower in all directions
forever entertaining
forever real

To go here we give up everything
and gladly
it doesn't need our name

Our mature lives,
a shadow shallow mockery
A paper-mache make-believe world
bits of newsprint we stumble over,
retarded and proud,
idiot monkeys with our cardboard ghosts
our sock puppet stories
we could write this world on a matchstick
in crayon
drunk

We did write this world
and we'll rewrite it
every day, every hour
maybe every minute
our punishment? a necessity? unneeded ambition?
but there's none to judge,
we share the task,
frenzied gnawing rabid gerbils

Our life here is a short time
mortal
fatal
small
but there is time here
time enough to erase the world
whenever we want
it's only a story after all

Thanks, it's not possible to describe how happy I feel whenever someone
gets enjoyment out of a poem I've written.

I think it makes sense not liking a lot of poetry but really liking certain
poems a lot. There's a few poems in this forum which I feel that way
about; for example: vampira's "We were right all along." I just really
liked it a lot. I guess it also depends on what's going on in your life and
how you're feeling when you read them.

cheers,

T. Guy.

It was great to read another one of your poems, T. Guy. It's excellent, just as the first one was. I really like your style. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I love how you so eloquently convey your messages, T. Guy. Your poems have such deep meaning to them, that I can't help but finish reading them when I start.

Thank you for sharing them with us - I hope there's more to come .

I'm really glad people have enjoyed what I've written, you're all most
welcome.

Thanks guys. I never really learned to take compliments well. Usually if I
write it's because I feel inspired in that moment and I do my best to write
from the heart.

T. Guy.
