a collection of poetry

To start the blog off with some content.

Some of these might go into the poetry section; a lot are old, and aren't really Taoist influenced, so they won't.



soft, beautiful clouds
coasting through blue skies over
tall masses of green


those laughing eyes let
me forget loneliness for
a single moment

whisper of a breeze
on cool summer's night as the
leaves rustle in peace


soft cool breeze blows as
the fireflies wander on
a warm summer night


that pretentious tree
standing there, high and mighty
we should cut it down


that reflective stream
capturing lunar beauty
as the crickets chirp

drip of raindrops from
a dead tree's gorgeous branches
on beautiful mud

while stars glimmer in
ignorance, the sun plots its
attack on the night

limitless beauty
breathless and awestruck at the
sight of a sunset


gazing over the
glistening morning grass, wet
with the evening's dew



head to the pillow
entering beautiful dreams
a perfect release



glittering jewels
uncountable lights against
eternity's black



gazing at the stars
till sun vanquishes the moon
pure, tender beauty



such vast nothingness
as one so small peers into
pure infinity




accompanied by
stars and a tender kiss, life
goes on, beautiful


utterly gorgeous
sleeping outside, earth my bed,
sky as my ceiling



the moon cowers as
the sun devours the stars
till the next battle



my hands caress; this
is my apotheosis.
a subtle, soft kiss


I become lost in

her mossy green eyes which peer

out through midnight hair




beautiful laughter
from a young girl's lips; childlike
contentment, whole, pure

first rays of sunlight
striking the sand, cold from night
warmth again returns

the calm flow of life
watching the tranquil snowfall
complete, total bliss

the world, beautiful;
the gentle kiss of wind, all
the soft sounds of life

we have no freedom
one is enslaved to the self
until death's release


a deafening sound.
life's commotion instantly.
then there is nothing.

everything, nothing
existence is so fleeting
nothing, everything


While others seek to
destroy, they are in folly:
Rather, I let be.


The night is fine; and
young. Good friend, good food, good life:
No envy of Gods.


[that] lovely, soft skin
and her dazzling ruby lips
under playful eyes


gentle breeze stirring
in front of the lapping waves
stretch of endless blue


swaying blades of grass
kissed by luminescent rays
as the water flows



separated by those
walls fabricated from
hate and pain
barring prescence of others

alone now in the dark
tears dripping down cheek
the cold trail etching itself
into memory

look around at people
see their smiles
their words, their lies
their love, their hate

the pain floods back
i hate you, leave me alone
i can't stand you
i don't want to talk to you

the questions answered indirectly
is it okay for me to be here?
no hope, no comfort, simply
banned from life and love

yet the ache is worse now
after giving up
after so many salty tears
walls which destroy what they were to defend

so take off the headphones and
walk over, nervous, tension
yet
a quiet sense of relief
smile with just a hint of sadness
but understanding the chance for
companionship
friendship
love

say "hello".
