Warnings of a Defined Nature

PINNED

I'm not here a lot. I'm not looking or needing any validation, sympathy, or understanding. I come..., I type..., I log out... I have less than a handful of people here that I've known for a decade or more and I sometimes respond to them. I do not...

I walk forward with resolve to overcome my own indifference

by: Rob Paquin Early morning, Spring time fog Reddened sun strikes my eye slowly I feel the day beginning the remembrances of my yesterdays lay their responsibilities upon me chains I've forged through meticulous purpose avoid them I cannot Many...

Often I'm Staggered

Adrift in the waves As this life does concave Hoping to wind up on shore But this life has been ragged And often I'm staggered By the way that life's keeping me moored. To find myself on this island Still searching for highlands With the liars all...

Round, Round ,and Away I Go

Cycling through it That's how I do it Living & Dying I probably already blew it I knew it Straight to it A meal made and I Chew it Going up and then down Like there ain't nothing to it Cycling round My smile's a frown Got up off the ground And I...

Sleepless in the Saddle

Tossing and turning In my bed The world's burning From the matches I lit But I can't be concerned, and I'm learning I'm spurning The lessons of lesser These lessons of yearning I'm turning I'm tossing All these things that I'm lost in Wasting away...

Is it - What it is ????

It is what it is. It was what it was. Winning at all the losing just because. It ain't what it ain't And it don't feel like love It feels like the dying of a dove Because what I say means nothing And all my words are lost The price of stealing...

Too many say they love me Too many say they care Too many are the times I've cried When none of you could hear Too many are the reasons Too many excuses made Too many are the thoughts I have Of how I can't be saved Too many are the things I want...

Birds Fly - Eyes Cry

Birds that Cry by:Rob Paqiun Staring through the darkness Just staring at the ceiling Staring through my weakness And all that I believed in Staring towards the distance And all that should be found there But I'm staring at a desert And I've found...

~Tell Me~ by:Rob Paqiun

Tell me what I'm thinking Tell me what I'm drinking Tell me if my stare Makes you feel like winking Tell me what you see Tell me what's to be Tell me all the thoughts you think When you think of me. Tell me what my dreams are Tell me if you see...

Watching My Grandson Sleep

Childhood Dreams by:Rob Paqiun I wonder what you dream of And if those dreams are true With all this love within my heart That I hope to give to you Are they dreams of peaceful times Or dreams of so much fun Are they dreams of giant birds Flying...

What Would Life Look Like If My Dreams Came True

-Typed out in Rhyme - Prompts by: Me In a world of dreams realized You would be there at my side Together in a loving home Where friends and family freely roam There'd be two gardens close at hand One with flowers that I would tend One with...

All things end...,...

Straight To The End by:Rob Paqiun Inside a satirical design I play out situations in my mind And the past plays out as if in rewind Ask me twice. Both times I'm fine Inside the present I reside Watching world's roll like the tides And the present...

A bridge not far enough....

Old Bridges by: Rob Paqiun Sanctions and sections Cutting off ties Blocking off roads That lead to the tide Building up walls Around a good soul Tearing down bridges That seem to be old Pulling the curtains Closing the blinds Shielding the...

Snowflake Dreams

Snowflake Dreams by: Rob Paquin In the falling snow I see. A million things That looked like dreams Falling from the sky so free Drifting oh so idly To lay upon the frozen ground Building up all around Drifts to build Without a sound As...

Another Untitled Rhyme

Upon the shelf Another Nik-Knack Just a Padi-Whack A random book Inside the stack A heart attack No going back Into the negative Do I track A glass that's cracked A vase that lacks the flowers placed In a ground hardpacked Upon the shelf In a...

Mountains of Love

Untamed Lover by: Rob Paquin There she stands. Like a grand mountainous forest. A lush and extravagant wilderness. Exotic and beautiful I wander through her and learn her trails. Exploring the peaks and valleys she contains inside her. I watch...

The Dust and The Dirt..?

Ashes and Flame

Worthless by: Rob Paquin Too long I've dwelt in darkness Too shaded has been my heart That even as some light shines though I can't seem to make new starts Too long the fire's burned now Too far my soul has fallen And even as the sun does rise I...

Kings and Guillotines

Brick by Brick by: Rob Paquin All my bricks are paid for Through a currency of pain I've built these walls I hide behind That help to keep me sane I've dug a moat around it In which my hopes were drowned And deep within the dungeon My love is still...

Hell Awaits the Few...

Descension of the Few by: Rob Paquin I look upon the world and see, So much pain and misery. So many people set in greed. So many people not worth a seed. Yet here I am trying just to plant, Another tree of another slant. That let's people know...

UNTITLED by: Rob Paquin If a time comes, when I am gone I'll leave you memories to think upon I hope that some will make you smile I hope you remember me for a while But do not fret and do not dwell Because I've gone to heaven and left this hell...

They All Travel In The Passing Lane

Passed By by: Rob Paquin Insecure So demure So willing to endure So unsure So back before Staring at all these closing doors So very sure That there's no more A million signs of my failure Seemed so pure Seemed so assured But now it's just a new...

The Losing Has Won

Waiting: by Rob Paquin Waiting on the time to pass Another action asked Another thought too fast Waiting on the sun to rise Another cloudy sky Another tear run dry Waiting on the rain to stop Another dream to drop Another worthless crop Waiting...

The Most Useless Rhyme Ever

by: Rob Paquin Time passes and I watch it Wake up to the time that clocks it Hear the sound of the ticks that tock it Down the path with the trees that block it Time passes and I see it All the wants of me, I'll be it An inner demon set to free it...

Dreams ~ Like an Ocean ~ In Flows the Tide

Walking on Water by: Rob Paquin Walking on water There alone in my dreams Searching for answers Can't tell what it means Too many reasons Too easy to find As you walk on the waters There in my mind Alone in the dark now On the edge of my bed Too...
