A little criticism for Plato by heyDowntown, literature

Literature

A little criticism for Plato

Manifestation of Utopian Guidelines Plato’s ideals have helped form the moral and political norms that we, as citizens, utilize today. Socrates spoke, in The Republic, of a metaphysical world that we should model our own society to. His guidelines are strict and utopian concerning education and media. But with his particular ideals of censorship, concerning education and media, perceptions of morality can be altered according to the agenda of Empire. Citizens are being engineered to serve a particular role as proletariats, consumers, good people of God, and patriots; each of said designations supports each other. These guidelines are e

Souls at Play

You are an oasis of color in deserts of gray. And if you are a mirage, imagine me running About the deserts alone, gleeful in my madness… But Glory, happiness is a race against mortality. And the blue perfection in the form of eyes, Wells that never run dry. I have studied these, like words I have chose to use. Dreams go winding through your eyes. And every time I close my eyes against that dull Gray sun, I can see you kissing at me with closed eyes. But there is so much to say… And if words are puppets, Then I should be vigilant not To have the strings tangle about my fingers. Then if I am too wordy, Wash out my

untitled 2

Let my muse be the autumn, the devil's choice in crayons. Let the winter be my tragic tale of loneliness... Mark my springs as epiphanies for myself Let me arrive where I've arrived at in the beginning. Let me love you forever. PLEASE! I see your eyes, every time I close mine. I have the image in my head, all I have to do trace against a canvas I call my brain, It seems I'm the only patient lamb, not waiting for the shepard, but the other lamb. To decide the shepard, a lamb himself.

Man by heyDowntown, literature

Man

With an awkward tongue, because such is the nature of mans' tongue, I unfold the cadenced utterance of myself to you. I disturbed the even temper of peace at mind- or close in resemblance- and lost you in the echoed corridors of my art... It was a game of fancy lies that tell the truth. And in waiting for my face to match my words, you watch in discern, as I present to you a growing baby boy whose only art is becoming man. And with awkward hands, because such is the nature of man's hands, I chisel the fixtures of my face into deep quarters, in secret. I mold as I wish, contort at my ease. I pull hide over my eyes, hiding all

cafe talk

We discussed the Career of Neruda; Imagine sleeping Beside your inspiration Every night, dreaming of And beside it, and waking to It. 100 hundred love Sonnets. We argue as If we rehearsed in front of Our mirrors prior To coming to cafe how many times did we turn over these thoughts in our mind? it's funny, Artists are open-minded, But just more open-minded to Our own ideas.

kiss,kiss...

open! unlock doors- no longer cringe at Self. i open my mouth and swiftly offer the words, that cut these lips (i love you) poetry is a silence that stutters words misleading... a dreamlike, o dear, o my dear- fondest curious slant of a man- a dreamlike homage. i'm the sentuality, the sex, the smile, the kiss, the naked, the embrace--the gesture-- the music between

in dreams by heyDowntown, literature

Literature

in dreams

in dreams i'm dispersed. every particle strewed across the sky like stars. But tonight, i can't sleep, i can't dream. and if poetry is as celestial as dreams and stars, almost every line dreamt up, fabricated from what dreams are made, then i am of dreams and subtle reverberations in the throat and scribbles on a page. every poem, every word, every syllable softly spoken, is strewed across the sky as me, like stars. i'm just waiting for someone to connect the dots.

Literature

immortal among the pages

I, one who is freshly acquainting with life, Commit my soul to paper, my heart to ink, Until my flesh is committed to earth. I mold myself, As a song of nature- for I am one who is acquainting myself with nature- lingers in the air as a butterfly’s dusty flight, and as a flickering flame conspiring to live, as the rose, beautiful and formidable, reaching ever to the sun, and the decaying vessels. I am nature that thrives, longing to be pictured and framed in my apex. To go unframed, O poetry never shared! I mold myself, Defining my contours, every curve and every line. And always sing the song to question, our freedom, our pot

once a boy

once a boy once a boy said to himself about a girl You’re a fountain I could never see my reflection in, a place where my own Image will never Be broken by the Ripples in water Or ever conjure The music between Our souls, you and I. But there will be no Elegy for me. By: A.L. Brown

She loves me not by heyDowntown, literature

Literature

She loves me not

Amongst the wilting flowers I remain. Freshly in my mind were dreams of lips i should have never kissed. And in hand, were poems written of eyes i last saw in tears. I could not chance the romance... This twilight; a meeting of night and day... So i leave destiny to the favor of these wilting petals, she loves me she loves me not for if they make their gesture to my favor, these flowers will wilt alone

Love one leaving

0 min read

It feels that my mind is incapable of good thoughts of now. Well, don't think me pessimestic, because I have been trying to think joyfully. I still laugh; I still look up; I still have hope. Alienation seems to be the common narrative and reason for the lack of my mind's joy. Have I ever stumbled across proof that I am not alone? Connection is fleeting without the presence of a special someone, one that makes me feel truly alive. If she is a manifestation of my brain, I want to keep dreaming. Through her eyes I persieve the world anew; every moment with her is my magnum opus.

insanity

0 min read

I think I've been systematically going crazy and that my thinking cannot be organized. I have frantic moments that cannot be controlled and that is driving me crazy. Not only that, these moments have grown to minutes; these minutes have grown into hours. I fear that the hours will grow into days, and still further on. I have my skapegoats but insanity has been coming on for some time now.
