Impact Of Me

I am like a tsunami of thoughts you could never escape
My comments are so intoxicating that you cannot stand,
let alone speak of the knowledge I have within.
The eye is the center which is an ocean of secrets that you could never cross.
The core of me lies within my mind that is full of tunnels that I have not even entered.
Twisted things that not even the heart can take or afford to lose them in thought.
You cannot run from it which is my thought to you.
Stay right where you are and let my tsunami pass through.

Strokes of Gray, They’re Written

Cursive letter, what do they mean?
Strokes of gray, they’re written
Drowning in the alphabet
In the ink, it’s breathing
Every moment, such a skill
Craving for a moment
Thoughts are blank
Thoughts are filled
Scattered in motion
Scattered instilled
Strokes of gray, they’re written

Everyday, they’re spoken
From life to life to generations
One misunderstands
One miscalculates
Strokes of gray, they’re written
Some of love, some of hate
In a painting, a poster, a photograph
What is provoked? What is the meaning?
Words expressed in a million letters
In paintings or of photographs
Message waiting to be delivered
They’re written against at last
Hidden meanings, disarrayed
Loss of passion, seems distanced and far away
Look closer, read between the lines
Strokes of gray, they’re written

With your eyes obtain it, as if it were real
Take it in with passion, as if it had a soul
As one person who loves you
Looks past your outer beauty
The same as for something written
Look at its inner beauty

Misunderstood, taken for granted
So from it we depart
Yet, how can we, when it lives in us?
A part of our everyday life
Enjoy its artistic structure
Acknowledge the retrospect for life
Breathe it and grasp it
Live it and hold on to it
Seek as to find
Remember as to never forget
Strokes of gray, they’re written

It holds such creativity
It means more than what it seems
To the artist, to the writer
It holds more than memories
Gray and black, colorful or not
These are bigger than life itself
They allow us to communicate
Strokes of gray, they’re written
