[MBTI General] Just about being.....

[targobelle]

finally a moment
to stop and sit
with my nice hot
coffee I do sip

upon the screen
I do read
a heart that's broken
repair in need

 

[MX5]

Somewhere,
My twin sits and wonders
If I am happy being where I am.

We once were one, we two.
But split when I said, "left", and he, "right".

We traveled different paths.
He, in his direction. I, in mine.

He has achieved many great things.
I have muddled through life.

He has the adoration of his peers.
I have suffered the insults of mine.

But I don't envy his substance
Because his substance is my own.

You see, we are both "me".
A split in the line that time draws.

We are one as oneness ever can be.
Our atoms, identical, separated only by choice.

And he wishes to know
If I am happy being where I am.

 

[targobelle]

mesmerized by
the thinking man
intrigued by
his written thought

a puzzle of words
have been left
before me
I ponder

I await his next
excerpt from his
mysterious mind
from his hidden life

there is a story
here broken up
laid before us
like a riddle

bits and pieces all
of him await
the pen and paper
await a reader

 

[MX5]

What mystery there is
Lies only in the view
That this mind of mine
Differs me from you.

Flattered by your words
I blush, and flush to red.
Executing verse here
Words tumble from my head.

There is no special talent
That sets these lines aglow.
Only those impressions
I'd wish for you to know.

The story I relay here -
A bit, perhaps a part.
I'd like for you to know it's
Directly from my heart.

So now another piece is
Set before your eyes.
I hope may look upon it
And do not wonder why,

I may seem very fractured
And broken into shards.
You see me from the outside
A place that's very hard.

Inside's my place of comfort
Few enter here for free.
I guard it quite intensely
That is the place that's "me".

 

[targobelle]

I read the words
upon the page
finding my compass
for which to gage

to look for the key
of similarities
and hear the words
you've unlocked for me

to bring me closer
to the heart you guard
and bear the soul
that you've kept very hard

 

[MX5]

I think
That I shall "be" today.
I will not plan,
Nor theorize,
Nor consider,
Nor devise.

Instead
I will "feel" today.
I will go "here",
Not "there".
Drink cold,
Not hot.

Oh, strange!
How odd the world today.
I understand not
How to act,
How to feel
How to "be".

But still,
Experiment today.
I soldier on,
Smile here,
Speak there,
Just "be".

 

[targobelle]

you make me think of Shakespeare..... to be or not to be that is the question.


we step out on a limb
every now and then
reaching for something new
something refreshing

to quench the thirst within
us the hunger for change
for freedoms unknown to us
that keep us bound

the desire so strong within
yet the fear of change
eats away here we are
awaiting the sign

the one that says carry on
the one that says
take a new path
just a sign is all we ask

scared of the reality
excited by the change
we wait in bitter sweet
thought of what could be

 

[MX5]

Ode to a manic weekend;

Busy, busy weekend,
Running like a nut.
Wanted to watch TV,
This got me off my butt.

The TiVo's full of programs
That I haven't seen
If I do not watch them
I'm gonna get real mean.

I do not mind the routine
Of running to and fro.
It's just that after working,
I'd just as soon not go.

Oh please, no – stop your crying
Please do not shed a tear.
If you insist on going
Just let me have a beer.

So off we go to frolic
To hither and to yon.
And waste my frickin' weekend
From Friday night through dawn.

And Monday comes the morning
You wonder why I'm tense?
I've run the whole damned weekend,
That doesn't make no sense!!

 

[targobelle]

Curiosity has me asking
what's on T'Vo
I really am wondering
if I did watch that show

thankfully my weekends
been pretty laxed
caused God knows my
weeks have been pretty taxed

today is a stat you see
so I am sitting on my ass
thinking there's not much
to do but drink from this glass

 

[MX5]

Inside my head is a fog.
A swirling mist that
blankets,
deadens,
obscures
All inputs from outside.

Thought is…slowed.
But I hear voices full of;
energy,
life,
ambition,
And I wonder, "Where is mine?"

I look down and see my hands,
They seem like twigs;
worn,
twisted,
bare
Scratching along the keys.

Inside my head is a fog.
A swirling mist that
blocks
my
pain
And keeps me sane – today.

 

[targobelle]

numb
finally and ever so
numb
comforting and soothing
numb
empty and devoid
numb

I am numb from the inside out
I smile but feel no joy
I laugh but feel no happiness
I cry but feel no sorrow
I am numb

Something deep with in aches
but I have tuned it out
tears well in my eyes but
they don't fall

I sit blankly, without feeling
without emotion
without so much of me
I am happily and contently numb

 

[MX5]

A tear
for one who knows us all.
A tear
for you that breaks our fall.
A tear
for one that speaks words true.
A tear
for you that sees right through.


A hand
to clear 'way all the junk.
A hand
to help you from your funk.
A hand
held out to lift you free.
A hand
held out to help you see.


I wish
I had the words to give.
I wish
I could make your heart live.
I wish
for you to sleep tonight
And for
your soul to be alright.

 

[targobelle]

today I asked
the question
the one that
lingers still

asking what
had really changed
since giving up
free will

I waited for
an answer
to calm
my beating heart

silently I
waited
wishing for
a start

blankly you
stared at me
no words
did you say

I looked at you
and laughed
so it wouldn't
end this way

And now I
sit here thinking
oh what am
I to do

knowing that
no matter what
I can never
change you

 

[targobelle]

deep and logical
is the thinker
slow and reserved
to share his true thoughts

patiently we must
wait for them to be gathered
to be shared
amongst this lot

 

[MX5]

Now what did I do with my brain today?

I'm sure I left the house with it.
And I didn't leave it in the car.
So where, oh where is my brain today?
It couldn’t have gone very far.

I opened my drawer and it wasn't there
I searched on a map for directions.
I emptied my pockets and dug through my lunch.
I tore apart all my confections!

But ne're did I find a single cell.
Nor came 'pon nary a synapse.
If I don’t find my brain real soon,
I'll fall into a relapse.

 

[targobelle]

*giggles*

if and when you find it
could you please let me know
then I might have a better idea
of where mine did go.... lol....

 

[MX5]

Hands rested, mind quiet.
Where is the thought that will
Blossom,
And become an inspiration that will;
Enlighten,
Illuminate,
Edify,
Inform.
Only the whisper of the wind
Blows,
And speaks of…

Nothing.

 

[targobelle]

in sharing your lack of a thought
you brought forth something
unique

in your lack of words you were able
to portray a thought for others to
seek

a picture was painted of
words yet to bloom

and you added some light
to my life full of gloom

 

[MX5]

Frigid Desolation

The enveloping cold swirls around,
wrapping my body in a shroud of Icy crystals.
Tearing at my flesh,
it pierces the very core of my soul – and I faint.

But my sleep is disturbed again.
I feel the frigid touch, like cat's paws, treading
lightly upon my limbs.
Climbing steadily higher and higher – I scream!

No one hears. I am abandoned.
Alone, but not alone, surrounded by creatures of the night.
All who wish my bounty
to stock their larder and nourish their abominations.

Can I survive the night?
Will the dawns light find my blood running warm?
Or will I succumb to the freeze?
Only destiny knows my fate. And yet I ask…

Who the hell turned the heat down so low, a guy could freeze in here!!

 

[targobelle]

Bouncing,
running,
dancing
through life
spinning
twirling
out of control

reaching,
grasping,
barely holding on
slipping
falling
losing my soul

wrapped up in everything
attached to nothing
here I sit and all is gone
lost and forgotten

like distant memories of
what should have been
like yesterdays garbage
that is rotten
