Infinite

This Poem was partially inspired by The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It was an incredible movie. One of the most beautiful movies i have ever had the privilege to watch. I recommend it to everyone! The book is currently on its way. Anyway, i hope i can capture just a bit of that beauty here.

If ideas

Dreams

Passions

Could leap from my mind to yours

Seep into your soul

through your pores

If my mind was wide open,

Could you understand?

What I see and who I am?

And if my love poured out

All over your embracing intentions,

Would it mean something?

Would it consume you as it does me?

If all my thoughts were piled sky high

In one big McDonalds ball pit of endless colors,

Piled without the slightest reliance on one another,

Yet impossible alone,

Would you climb to the stars with them,

Would you swim and dance with childlike innocence

Always knowing your mission but never forgetting the decision,

That it takes to step on every little thought,

Every foothold and handhold,

For you to climb

Through my mind

Up to the pinnacle of my internal sky?

To see the world from where I see

Each person with a dream

Their own dream,

Of tall mountains of thought and lakes of innocence

Slowly drying up into dark puddles and damp mist.

Each face with a story and a reason

A purpose for life,

And an unsettling cause for an unbearable amount of strife.

If you felt my anger,

For the pain and unjust in the world

Billowing out of my raging insides

Plummeting in whirling vibes

Past your sovereign emotions

Smashing into walls of separation

And halls of degradation,

Would you cry with me?

If you saw the incredible potential

I see in each and every child,

Felt the presence of true life beating right next to me,

Would you embrace the world with me?

Would you concoct valiant plans,

A list of blatant demands

that say “Stop!” you shall break not one more man.

Not one more woman shall fall to your hand.

Because this world is not the end,

Even though it matters immensely how we spend,

Each and every day,

I KNOW that I’m infinite,

But do they?

If evil runs the world does matter what I say?

Maybe.

Because If ideas

Dreams

Passions

Could leap from my mind to yours

Seep into your soul through your pores

If our minds were wide open,

I think we could understand.
