A cocoon
He declared I was in a cocoon
Right around when the sun embraced courage in the face of the moon
And I speculated as I went back to my room
What did he mean by cocoon?
a womb or a tomb?
Better yet did he liken me to a winter Jasmine about to bloom?
Or did he assume, my soul was dressed in resentments gloom ?
A cocoon?
A cocoon is a made of larvae used to protect insect at their pupil stage
Cocoon can also be defined as a humans self protection from the everyday
The coziness
With such a hold it feels like holiness
copious
Amounts of opioids
Couldn't measure to this paradise of loneliness
cocoon ....
You know what fuck that!!
This mosaic elysian you refer to as a cocoon
Is brighter and bigger than blissful monsoon
Big enough to persuade the moon
To seek employment from the afternoon
And I ain't no summer fly
This cocoon is a chrysalis because a chrysalis is reserved just for butterflies
What is my Chrysalis made of?
obviously not literal things
How about invisible things
Is it made of metaphysical things?
You know God, the Universe, spiritual things?
Is it made made of the timid light that reflects off the crown of a king ?
Invincible things
I bet not ..
I bet its made of typical things
Trivial things
2 syllable things
Simple with no principle things
On the surface visual things
SO I can cope
I know .. minimal things
Can penetrate this chrysalis, at least I hope
I can visualize my adolescent self hopen
As the sound of a broken
Heart keep my mother's door open
White overcooked bacon is smoken
Intensity in the air frozen
Enough to chill the kool aid cup in which i'm indulgen
If all you know is I (eye) than you cant see the reason for emotion
I guess it hard times for the soft spoken
I become illiterate to the language of hopeless
And focus
To: Welcome to WCW Nitro! Tonight we have big news for the NWO and Hollywood Hulk Hogan!!
The Crowd roars
Disparity
(side note) Goes on a blind date with clarity
And and the end of their awkward dinner they realize they can't cover the reality check
I had a whole set
Of wrestling action figures
What I loved most about toys is they never got any bigger
They never aged
They stay the same
While I became
As I ran thru time I can only admire something so timeless
You ever look up to something so lifeless?
It Could make you redefine the whole meaning righteous
After I became bored
With miniature love stories and 7 inch men going to war
I would pop to the couch and watch Hollywood movie daredevils
Who triumphed over bad guys shooting guns with unlimited ammo
Big clip big barrel
Rambo shooting arrow
Pesci consulting Dinero
Kung fu flick
High kicks
Wide flips
Fight this
Slice this
My uncle would step out of his middle age confusion
To watch with me
He watched for my amusement
Talk about the discipline and skill of every movement
And he knew, because he did it his damn self !
Tio Miguel was a legit black belt !
Karate! he would describe a warrior's pain that he remedied with true chi
I saw him the way he saw Bruce lee
I was a sponge
That he used to clean up his internal need for a son
The power of a step in the aim for a mile
The beauty of the tiny nothings that look like mountains to a child
He Taught me to tie my shoes
But in that he taught me readiness
He taught the use of memory to make basic living feel effortless
He covered my feet from the hells burning underneath me
He placed armor on my feet for the race for life that all so ready to greet me
He taught me
While simultaneously teaching himself to teach me
