Cherish what little time we have, they say.
Politics among the coursework for the day,
Perhaps the housework can justify a stay,
Though setbacks can justify means to create.

The weed, it stays dope,
We changed though,
Peering through grass,
We see our hope.

Not one being persecutor,
But blame to the group.
Fire and flames on a hoop,
Would not you jump officer?
Or frame up and shoot?

Panic as the ship hits the shore,
Not Before, la vie, con amore,
For love does typically live forever.
Only old men break for the weather,
Feverish in their love of pleasure.

Deacon finding the failure of people,
Lights fires in the place of beacon,
Wooden beams crumbling beneath him,
He is the lighthouse that never was.

I am the rocks that never could,
Smashing rocks of greater virtue,
I am then accost and pursued,
Masticating grass of rain and dew,
Too ignorant to stand.
Too ignorant to move.

Bird sings low
Everywhere it goes
Solo
Volume decreased
Old Crow can't hear
Intricacies
Flyin' from old notes
Higher than most tho
Song ain't loud
Used to be
Bird's quiet
Crazy
Speaks
Feathers in beak
Live
Vibes to the beat
Heat
Released
Birds flapping their wings
Squawking their beaks
Bending their knees
Leaving their feet
Lotus grows pink
Cutting through deep
Low melodies
Low sounds of the songbird
Played on repeat

Pastures dry, the people see,
Move on and feel their freedom,
Seldom hearing people eaters.
Creature seeking not being a career,
Having not done it for twenty years,
Seeking all monsters to be sought.
Tables turned, the people rot.
Yearning on for cannot be.
Informed thoughts cannot read,
Nor breed cattle to buy bread.
Masters of a humble rest;
Grow their own bread,
Farm their own cattle,
Fight their own battles,
Propagating views to their peers,
Which idealize each other,
Making careers of judgement.

Feather aloft, with folded wing,
Birds gliding as the summer sings,
Turning only to check the fitting.
Bastion of the great lords,
Last swinging his great sword,
Breaking bones he sees fit.
A life in three parts,
As though it was,
And so it is.
Life lays it's judgement,
As one tries to live.

Once great poems in the form of epic,
Tragically short was my bite of danish,
Therefore I re-post a poem from 2012.
Current relevance being to a shelf.

It's you
I want
I just mean
Do it
Want me
I'll scream
Drown them
More feelings
Of wanting
Longing
For something
Aloof
Trot of the hoof
Fall from the floor
Land on the proof
Smile at the whore
Missing her tooth
Trying to score
Good times with the roof
Ease to cool her
Down and pass out
Songs of abusers
Speaking of peace
Echo through darkness
Then she falls asleep
For something
Standoffish
I just mean
It you whose the problem
Not me
I just solve 'em
I can't be wrong
'Cuz I'm peaceful
And honest
And a really chill guy
If you don't mind me talking
At lengths just to show
I'm not racist
I'm mocking
Their race
'Cuz it's funny
Not Angry
Just Loving
That Pain
From Above
Automatic
Dark static
Creatures of habit
Throwing outrage around
Myself I won't have it
Outraged at myself
Myself never planning
To be holed in a cell
Living under you bandits
You won't have it yourselves
Yourselves being outraged
At all of yourselves
For all of your work
Education and health
Yell at your brothers
Strangers
Mothers
Escaping from hell
By throwing dirt
At the world
Insurmountable selves
By the billions
All with a version of self
I'm doing it now
Laying a seed
To expand
And develop
I mean
I just want to scream
These guys I girl dog about
I'm mad
'Cuz I'm me

Waiting for a miracle to save us, 
And we have saviors,
But they're controlled by secret agents, 
Waiting for a miracle to save them, 
And they have saviors,
But they're controlled by secret agents. 

His father wrote his epitaph, I know. 
He captured the hearts of the young and the old.
God given talent given highest awards.
He was yesterday's child,
So the day he got old...

Like midnight's stars he disappeared.
Fagments of influence rapidly spread,
Directing the youth of the afteryears,
But the man wasn't dead,
I can prove it,
'cuz dead mean don't sweat.

If the American government told you, 
life over death,
Would you just believe them,
and choose to live?
If the American government told you,
We're just having fun,
drawing lines in the sky,
Would you believe them?
If your president warned you,
Of the coming apocalypse,
Would you believe the Americans?
Or choose to live?

A cold man prays for food.
A fed man prays for heat.
The rest pray obsolete,
Needing very little.
Pittance and a needle,
Praying a life discrete.
Peering through sheets,
Never seeing sunlight,
Only what cannot be,
and the divine.

I wish I could be like you,
So fucking great,
The Grand Satan I erase.
With time they wash away,
despite their wish to stay.

In his future he sees tired coughing,
But the seer mundane usually finds nothing,
Only peering back upon seared meat,
Apparently to be, or feel something.

Caravans of the sky desire furniture,
Of which the past robbed the future,
Paradigms of the mind flipped suture,
Lying prone as a feat of nature.

Ire of the God that creates,
Pasty hands, adoration of the fans,
And regret of a moving caste,
Published spine of too much paste,
Toiled upon by uninitiated masons.
Cannot we end this race?
Show tolerance instead of patience?
Forget the genocide of ideals,
Lest we deal in inaccurate traits.

Crystal eyes. 
By:James Williamson 


Pierce through me 
with your crystal eyes. 
Look deep down to
my shame and 
to all things hidden. 

Allow me only my breath, 
Inhale and exhale. 
We will test our limits, 
as perspiration on my face 
begins to glisten. 

You are my lonesome 
shadow, the dagger 
between my breast plate 
causing unforseen pain, yet
If pulled out results in my demise. 

So look deep my dear
past my darkness, fears 
and hatred.See my heart, cradle 
it so maybe it will become like you, 
vulnerable and crystallize.

The spirit of a stallion. 
By:James Williamson 


A wandering spirit lives in me, 
no board or brick may be my home. 
With the soul of a stallion, 
through this world I will forever roam. 

Consisting of a two stallion band, 
only me and my lack of trust. 
We run towards the unknown future,
followed closely behind by regretful memories and clouds of dust. 

My shadow is my mistress, 
the world is my wife.
She is where my heart lies, 
and when I am tired of running, 
she will take my life. 

Until then I will drink from the sea, 
and gaze into oceans of black. 
From the world my heart emerged, 
and when it beats for her no more, 
she will submerge it back. 

My spirit is a stallion, 
forever running until I ache. 
A thousand times in this life, 
my brittle heart will shatter. 
Yet solid remains my soul, 
that no one can ever break.

Deep in the forest
Between pleasure and pain
Screams are so violent
Yet silence remains
How often do you think of me?
Or remember my name?
Am I just a memory?
Or do you ever think of me?

Stridently hopeless
Lotso' talk about games
Stammers to silence
There it goes again again
How often do you think of me?
Or remember my name?
Am I just a memory?
Or do you even think of me all?

Tomorrow, if you picture it;
Another chance to witness someone else's bliss
And envy it
And live your life in envying
Green both in your mind and in your skin
Clad in purple cloth worn to protect your sins
And mourn the loss of love you stitched into it

Around me I see
Ghosts of a memory
Smoke in the air I breathe
A complete lack of energy
Dogmatic discomfort
Dogmatic disbelief
Friends crushing my dreams
Becoming the enemy

I'm Building a fortress
To honor my name
To scream at the silence
To wander in pain
To wonder in fantasy
Living each day the same
Do you ever think of me?
Or am I just a memory?

Deep in the forest
Between pleasure and pain
Screams are so violent
Yet silence remains
How often do you think of me?
Or remember my name?
Am I just a memory?
Or did you ever think of me at all?
