Remembrance

Is it merely greed?
Why do we long
To hold on to someone
After they are gone?

Once thier purpose is served
The lord speaks his word
And opens a fabric
Of both parting and passage

It is that of a phantom
To show such dispassion
The human heart yearns
For their dawn, or return

Love leaves the heart
Like a soul travels time
Between stunning archs
Both in and through lives

Yes, keep in mind
We all will return
From that which we came
Thus take heed and learn

Take steps and breath
As you would with a rose
Inhale the fragrance
With will to expose..

The etchings of living
Aspects of the taken
Significant memories
A poem of remembrance

How Can I?

How can I express?
Or supplement for your smile?
Your breaking down the contents of my heart,
And its beautiful
The things your breaking down have been there
For eternity
When I see your face, I act so absurdly
Its almost like I'm serving the epitome of stupid
Yet when I'm in your presence, no repentence
Sinply clueless
The cutest, strapped and laced,
woman where your roots is?
Immersed in the essence, joy and presence is so fluid
Now Im fluent in the language of love,
You've come a part of me
After you've been seated deep in hearts arteries
I hardly... resist
My wish is this...
Would you be my abyss?
To have and to hold? To love and to kiss?
Or maybe just gaze into, you infatuate my eye
While cleaning out my spirit of its wickedness and lies
I rise up to approach you. only to realize
That I have the chance to hold you
But in freedom you would thive
So Im digging deep within, simply lost in my desires
Bit my final aim is love, pure and simple, nothing higher

- Matt Earley, Circa 2010

The Lighthouse

You will have to struggle
You will have to fight
The cliff on the cove
The lighthouse at night

The task is so daunting
Some dream it insane
But oh woe and shame
The dream still remains

I have to go there
Theres no turning back
To liberate hope
And send death to the grave

Theres nothing so daunting
No task greater yet
Extinguish the smoke
The wet..
Ciggerete

I dream of a Time
Where beauty's as fierce
As the sight of the blind
To of whom Hope's endeared

Studded and steer
Embark towards the Coast
For Upon Arrival
Our journey Unfolds

Wounds

Im wrapped in band aids
Im bruised and beaten
Both whipped and marked
But not defeated

And not concieted
its just been hard
to feel this way
and scrape the yard

I gotta nurture that which hurts
this age old pain thats taken root
I gotta find the self I know
Hes really good, almost a pro

Im saddened at a passing glance
but always down to shake and dance
Im glad you came and found me here
its easier when friends are near

Purpose

When i skip the dip.. yea.. i flip the script
Like a broke mans wish, shoot its from the hip
So if you stray, okay.
But if you with me.. sit
Imma perch in the cellar till you split the dip

I love Donetello and a fresh origin
Metal man, bronze, iron lands the rain is pouring in
Had it with humanity, my anger bubbling
Tricked into a trickle now I know discovery

I have a million reasons, containing multitudes
I breath desperation like the fountain of youth
Yet beyond this hesitation
Visage and motivation
Detailed escalation
Lies a moment of truth

A queen peace of clarity
A kings heart sincerity
I made it out the depths
For now Im smiling wearily

Sick of self potraits, and etch a sketch routines
Time to buckle down and let the efforts be seen
An old souls flow from a land of ill throats
Reduce the wasted and recycle the utmost

My totality smiles and screeches to a halt
Im far beyond illusion in a land we all forgot
Its beauty fill3d and bountiful, much like a buried gem
Its similar to weathered hands that softly sew the hems

This elemental blend, this beauty so benign
I ask it, who am I?
Between the Earth and Sky
Between the murky minds
Between the Oceans wide
My purpose is resurfaced
In an everlasting shine

Forevers a Long Time

All this doubt got me feeling like
Happiness aint exist in life
All these frozen moments appear
So severe and seldom clear

Another poem about forever
Know what goes around comes back around
So clever endevours... fall faintly like feathers
I cant outsmart reality
So I crush under its gravity
Shoot, aint that some brevity

Tired and weary.
Eyes wont get teary
Carry on then, just draggin my long limbs
Just playing some old tunes while dreams drift
by the wind

Its been a long road, my family and friends
Am I ever gonna see you again?
Am I ever gonna stare into merciful eyes
That match my own? time after time, again
Its just a poem nothing startling
Picking up the pieces, as to start again

Slumber

When I sleep I activate a mages mind A magical realm sprouts from it Invisibility cloaks Men with swords upheld And supremely glorious golden gates When I rest I sense the network surging Thats only allowed faintly during waking I melt into possibility Dying 1000 deaths, and living 10000 more.. For when I dream.. The highest note gets struck On the demons breaching the heavens The physical world crumbles, and as it does An endless mind uncovers An enduring beauty That becomes my own ❤❤❤

When in Love

When your in love...
in sync with the suns stars and moment
The holy yields of holy fields, suprised at thier implosions
Dancing in the heights of night, stretching beyond pain and plights
Romping rolling raging right, in bouts of understanding

Its similar, to being awake within a dream
Where a utopian awareness bursts from every seam
Reflections on this life, pathways where they lead
Maybe you don't see it, maybe I mislead

Discern from yearn, wisdom that burns, and brands the truth in paupers
Descends from Zions mountain, and feeds the lonely wisdom
Take your turn to tear your world, it's bald unfruiting surface
To live in spice of renewed life, and whirl, as a dervish

Neither blinded by the ambient, nor dependent on the senses
Love unfolds the smog and smoke into daylight intensive
So when the majesty is breathed, it mirrors in me a paradise
That opens floodgates patiently, an outpouring of living light

InterRelation

A wind howls a freshness
Crossing desert sands and hotdog stands
A missle launches in southern state
A flower blooms, an earthquake shakes
A voyager navigates narrow straights
A young boy tunes the station
A scientist cracks the code creating equations
In this...
Vivacious sensation of inter-relation

Autumn Stroll

I see peace in the walk before me
In this way, peace becomes me
I inhale the air and breath out exhausperation
Letting go of a maze of outdated days

Flooded with images, my pace quickens
Faster I dash, since stagnation sickens
Relating to those, who sift through the prose
Perhaps Ill bring peace to a few through this poem

I'm heading home now, was rather far out
Away from the comforts that stay in my house
The basket wove chair, the carpeted stairs
In all of my years I've collected some wares

Yet now I'm alone, and my feet, they roam freely
The brisk autumn glow intoxicates easily
I'm happy to wander, the path splits in two
Its easy to be here, away from the crew

I fall like a leaf of tomorrows boquet
I humble myself from a broad disarray
Each step marks a milestone, a river rock tossed
Each depth is an artifact, and nothing is lost

Just me on this trek on a cool autumn night
The world lies behind me in soft spoken light
I dissapear into the forests and trees
And here sparks an ember of lifes subtleties..

If I Wait

If I wait for life, you know it takes some time
To break the ice, that collects on a calloused mind
I'll pay the price, to tell my heart the achings fine
I'll find the light, that pierces veils undone

You might assume, I'm wandering the Earth
While making blooms, that blossom from the turf
Soon I'll resume, to voyage and abstain
From all the doom, that pours into this brain

I've faltered few times, you know the proof is there
I've lost at halftime, when fighting wasn't fair
Thought whose to guide me?
Provide and redesign me?
Supply and ill-define me
This message is so rare

The funny fictions, I'm always holding close
The crucifixion, the father son and ghost
I'm steady sifting, through literature for answers
Was found a few times, within their written stanzas

Like Doc Manhattan, my power sits untapped
I shake the bondage, potential floods the tap
I'll birth the galaxy, the milky way realities
The head of church and salary, and still recieve no dap

This fossil fuel, it circulates my lungs
Lingering sweetly and powerfully undone
Mediate freely, until the war is won
Meditate deeply, and fly into the sun

I'm just a loner, whose living short of breath
Yet whose to find me? in shelters that I slept
I seek a vision, connecting heads to toes
The crucifixion, the father son and ghost
The crucifixion, the father son and ghost
The crucifixion.

Psalm of Matthew

Beat the game
Need to change
Take the reigns
Ignite the flame

Stop the bogus
Bring the focus
Feel the frenzy
Free the envy

Hard and heavy
Softened likeness
I knew there'd be
moments like this

Times of plenty
Times of empty
Times of well fed
Stomach empty

Thank you each
Blessings deep
Friend and Foe
So we reap

So we dine
Live and sigh
Smile and shine
Bleed and die

Once again
Spill the ink
Light a match
Sip a drink

Here today
Gone the next
Thank you God
I pay respects

Cursed and blessed
Loved and hated
Overcome
Glad I made it

Into hearts
Between minds
Beneath doubt
Beyond Time

The Realms of Water

Shoddy penmanship
When the love churns in the bellows
Before a flame speaks wonder upon its coals
A-lit like the lanterns interior

Walk through these flames to find me
Thier terrace is violet and violent
They span higher than hells gallows
Thier cinders speak gypsy curses
Through the late hours of a hollowed night

Find me here in a cool ravine
Or a well, deep down, beaneath the raging arson
Washing myself in the crisp cleansing waters
Laughing in emancipation of heat

I shake the flames that produce sweat and trial
They scatter in the 8 directions
Vanishing even from periphery vision
And slide into a different point of destiny

Free from the shackles that burn
I await in the waters that cleanse and balm
Soothe and quench a urge long unanswered

Come find me! I will splash and swim,
But never suffocate
I will be your fun-loving companion
I will show you the magnificent one

Seek me here in the mist of ruins
Where the spirit may rest and recline
Fall into these still waters,
Reclaim yourself from the wreckage
Hold your beath, and dive deep
Below the fever of tides,
a brightness awaits pure as porcelain
Smoothing out the inequities of the soul

Renounce the flame, romance these waters
Through mellow falls and fortified fortresses
Once the storm has stilled, arrive through the gate
Leave your home built and come find me
Beyond the storm, beneath the rapids
I am awaiting you!

Mirror

I am my greatest opponent
My sole nemisis, my archrival
The thrower of punches,
and reciever of blows

I am my greatest asset and allie
By power and indwelling strength
My diplomatic arsenal,
Will turn a city back into wild jungle

I am my lowest low
I am my highest height

I am seeing, reaching, ripping and resolving
Creating and destroying in this couplet

Do you see me?
Do you sense me?
The light that casts shadow?
The darkness that squelches the flame?

Part of the whole,
The whole of my parts
The painter, paint and art
The sinner, saved and seperatist

I am a forgotten friend
In a haze of rememberance
Living lost
Forever found
I am

A Man on a Rock

Come closer, I have things to tell you.. Stay awhile, and listen
Invisible things, intimate things
Not mere speculation, but stories.
Of wit and coincidence to tie the tails of long unanswered questions.
Mysteries I do percieve, beyond that what you may believe.. but stretch your thinking on this day, and leave with much more than you came.
The air you breath must shake the masks, so it can drop and create cracks.
Then you can carry on alone, away from dials and shocks and bones.
Upon a half-made sunken globe, and life that stews upon it, what do you seek to know and learn? By chance the shift in climate?

You see..
A rock is an excellent place to stop and sit.
On a stone, a man may dream alone
Ive been perched on this flat of Earth
For many years, perhaps since birth
Perhaps my moments passed unnoticed, dismissed by some as hocus pocus. But I do enjoy my station, its patient hibernation. I do appreciate its class, its history is long and vast.
You think because you make a splash, my time is halved in instant?
Ive been upon this rock so long Im reflecting its image.
I am the stone, the dotted rock, both heavy and tremendous. I am the rock that shakes the blocks and bridges gaps relentless.
My theories became crystallized and proven true through storm and eyes, over the great span of years, my surface attracts natures tears.. absorbs them and soothes all the same, I am this stone you know my name. But do I sense a trace of doubt of what my essence is about?
I stand and stabalize the home, my point of reference is strong. A pillar, marble, solid block.. From lava hot, a molten rock. I am the stone so pay respect, alone, in group, I know no debt. I am the rocks that scatter Earth, a blessing of known universe.

Samsaras Smile

The knowingness of pencil tips
The zip locked lips and fingers kiss
The cabinetry on which I sit
The bludgeoned budget, ruth-a-less

The whoosh of baskets sunk with swag
The stiching on designer bags
The vulger who profanly brag
The bouncer that enjoys a drag

The happiness, and sworn to health
The sappiness when poems are felt
The fluid of a passing day,
Swirling passive down the drain

The willingness to drift and dream
Projected movies through a screen
I simply watch, observe, obstain
This knowing is a claim to fame

The openness that fans the flame
The origins, of how it came
To flourish, dissolve, and exist
To wind around Samsaras mist

Perhaps in essence gone from world
Forsaken blood and precious pearl
We spin in circles, tilt-a-whirl
All influence turns and swirls

Perhaps for waste, perhaps for cause
To last for years, or leave like fog
What in the end becomes alright
Might make one weary during the night

The rain it pours on sheltered roofs
Both dignified, also astute
The situation sparks and climbs
Flooding corridors in my mind
