Time

Beginning, awakening. Surrounded by darkness,

everything on you consuming you binding you like a harness.

Slowly though, light seeping through. Blinding.

Shapes, colors, familiar surroundings,

harmonious smells, consuming, arousing.

Senses coming alive with each passing wind.

The time has come for the day to begin.

Self reflection

Others try to convince me of silly things,
when in reality I'm the one pulling their strings.
Manipulator of the human speech,
creator and destroyer of everything underneath.
I can't help myself put the pieces together,
this is why my influence will last forever.
What seems to most as me helping them,
in reality it is to see how far they will bend.
Selfishness is what is at the core of it all,
not care in the world not even when I fall.

Who

I've walked across the moon,
I've kissed Saturn's rings,
I've been across the world before you can even blink.

I'm the reason you enjoy your sight,
harnessing my power is your greatest fight,
this is why you have named me with the word "light".

12:00 AM

Midnight as you know it best,
closing in you as you want to rest,
the time before was just a test,
just to see if it would hurt your chest.

Looking now across the night,
the pain in your chest is getting tight,
on the rooftop sitting under the light,
thinking about the fruitless fight.

The ringing noise of the clock's chime,
hearing the sounds of the city's crimes,
half past one is now the time,
and this is the end of my rhyme.

Another year

Walking down the street,
thinking your own beat.
In anticipation of joy,
and thinking of being coy.
You walk past the door,
and your bag hits the floor.
Everyone was inside,
and they all yelled "Surprise"!

Rhetoric

Listen, listen, listen to these words,
let them captivate you like the rest of the world.
I have no proof on anything I say,
but the meaning in my speech will make you sway.
Destruction, mayhem, loss of wealth,
throwing more numbers at you than the population of this earth.
Convincing your mind letter by letter,
that nothing is fine and it's not going to get better.
Seeing you scrambling like little ants,
charging up and down the government's pants.
Yelling at them that they are failing,
and all the money is being used for bailing.
Excuses and proof start to meddle in,
then I come back with a brand new spin.
God has come to destroy this place,
starting across the ocean at a large pace.
Radiation is going to destroy us all,
I have your attention and I have the ball.
Again you scream and yell in fear,
and I sit in the corner drinking my beer.
I spread the virus of the human mind,
inserting false bits of information in due time.
I no longer need to show you more,
your actions suffice like some cheap whore.
Even if you find out who I am,
and word spreads that I'm a common man.
Too much time will have passed by then,
others like me will continue the action.
You'll never be able to stop the disease,
the human mind will follow what I please.

I wouldn't be here

Depression wouldn't have taken hold,
avoiding you pretending I had a cold.
Failing for 6 months by missing class,
remembering your voice and all that jazz.
Trying to reconnect from different tracks,
even after we parted from that huge fact.
Endless conversations about college life,
all of it over and done from such strife.
Remembering the moment I ruined it all,
that serious conversation was my downfall.
Telling you I cared for you was all I had to do,
by being patient and never leaving that room.
