Upon a rocky, narrow mountain, the tower stood tall.
Until struck by lightening, then itsā people are thrown into fall,
headfirst,
with arms flailing.
Liberation, prevailing.
You see, the foundations were poor,
and the tower didnāt stand a chance,
when faced with divine intervention, and itsā painful dance.
Reappearing like a bad penny;
unwelcome, and foreboding.
Bringing about unavoidable chaos; abrupt and exploding,
In the name of change, this tragedy must take place,
And is up to only you, whether you face it with grace.
In the garden, two hearts meet, And bind together to make one beat. Against all odds, The Lovers stand, Side-by-side, hand in hand.
Their gaze locked in a silent vow, To stay true through the here and now. Passion's flame, a tender kiss, In this moment, purest bliss.
Harmony in duality, Reflecting love's reality. A union deep, beyond the skin, Where two lives end and one begins.
The Lovers' dance, a sacred art, With every beat, a shared heart. In their eyes, the world fades away, For love, they choose, come what may. No fear of the future, No regrets of the past. For here in the garden, True love is steadfast.
A crossroads of life's intricate lace, The Lovers meet, face to face. Together they'll rise, together they'll fall, In love's embrace, theyāll face it all.
For in the garden, two hearts meet. And bind together to make one beat. Against all odds, The Lovers stand, Side-by-side, hand in hand.
Upon the cliff's edge, The Fool does dance, Unburdened by fear, he takes his chance, With a heart wide open and spirit free, He steps into life's vast mystery.
A bundle of dreams upon his back, He wanders forth, no set track, Embracing change with every stride, The world's his oyster, wide and wide.
No map in hand, and no set time, He follows the call of his own mind, For every fall, a lesson learned, He carries on, no stone unturned.
With every step, a new beginning, A wondrous journey, never-ending, A leap of faith, into the blue, Where possibilities are ever-new.
Look to the fool with admiration, And make each moment a celebration. Live life without limitation. And chase your dreams with desperation.
Let us cheer for The Fool's bold quest, For in his spirit, we find our zest, To live, to love, to dare, to dream, To follow the flow of lifeās grand stream.
Walking under brights lights
Having the night of my life
Soon I ruin that
By walking towards a lady
All dazzled up
Her cards laid out
Paid her a dollar
To show my future
I wish I never did
For now I canāt leave my house
Because of that damned tarot card
I now walk under the lights frim my ceiling fan
Living my life in fear
For that tarot card
Told me death was here
I dont want to die
But I dont want to live
If all I ever do is stay inside
I hate that tarot card
Both physically and spiritually strong Being pushed to be your best This karmic fire wonāt last long Mastering the elements to attest To this transformation to see you shine You are stronger than you think With your intellect and mind Your wisdom and logic is on the brink Grasp it tight and hold on for the ride Through your wisdom and knowledge unique Use it all as your fierce guide For the freedom that you seek That is fierce in essence And shall be with you with just a tweak.
(If the idea of death or losing someone scares you, or if you would prefer to not see something disturbing today, I recommend you look away)
I hear someoneās not doing well, that they may be a little sick And in my head before I can stop it the movie starts playing Theyāll be dead maybe, in a month, or a week And yeah the idea definitely scares me, but Iām a psychopath so I find how I can benefit I see myself going through the stages of grief Crying, denying, disassociating from it all And maybe Iāll get pity after a while Get to do something fun Find my story on the Internet and I get to meet a star Itās a stupid reward And I hate myself for thinking of this For thinking of the loss of a loved one as a tool to get what I want So I try to shut down the idea as fast as possible Iāve read too many sad books with satisfying endings, To get this kind of stuff in my head And I try to ignore it But I still know I thought it And now you do too
Up on the blocks bend over Pull back
I imagine myself in the water Swim fast Donāt be scared
Swimming for five years and yet I still worry That I will drown Get sick Or just go slow
My Mom doesnāt care how I do She just cares that I love the sport But if she doesnāt care Then why do I
Why do I care if I go slow Iām only fourteen Iām not joining the Olympics This is only a small swim meet
Assess the other team They look fast But so am I I forget that I am one of the fastest on the team Every Single Time. I may not look the part but I sure do play the part
Beep!!
Now Iām in the water Already ahead Why was I scared? I was made for this!
