The Aimless Verse

This represents one of my favorite ways to write. Its called The Aimless Verse because when it was written, there was no direction, I simply began to write words that were at the precipice of my mind.

The Aimless Verse

By. The Angelic Starchild

Juggling knives above my chest my heart is nervous

Optimism and pessimism clash swords, the noise?

It wakes me up, but her smile reminds me that I'm okay.

My heart still beats but my thoughts don't sleep

 

Windows, I see who I used to be walking slowly down the sidewalk

Head down, shoes ripped, shirt dirty, no lack of confidence

I was looking down at my sister, pretty eyes, and puffy cheeks.

Oblivious to the battlefield we were walking through.

 

I thought of you when I saw my former self

Because I used to be complete, now a partially broken soul waiting to be completed

Depleted of trust, I accrue debt as I give it all to you.

Fearful that the rest of my life will be spent repaying what cannot be paid full

 

Made a fool, taking a half glass to make it full,

Making a fool of she, who may have believed that she had me fooled

Laughter... at past and present

I am who I am now, never change like whole bills

 

Not selling my soul to hold bills

For my words? I'll be billed?

They will take what I made, what I build and what I built!

I'll let them have it with a smile, and I'll rebuild.

 

My favorite number 99, close to perfection but never there

100% is a lie brother while you are alive brother.

Only when we die brother, are we complete.

We simply are.

Aloha,

This interesting piece sounds to me almost like an exercise in free association, yet it works wonderfully in this piece.

I find it fascinating the gems our subconscious mind holds, quite fascinating indeed.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us out here. I have enjoyed reading your work and will be back soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts again. I find it amazing how our mind's seem to piece things together even when we do not give them any direction. I honestly love the outcome every time that I allow my mind to freestyle.

Thanks again for the sharing your thoughts!
