Faith And Logic
Originally posted on johnny ojanpera:
Your offer was of faith. I remember wanting to push it away compulsively, telling you that reason dictates your philosophy as intangible; even unprovable. Logic was stacked against you when you adopted faith as a recepticle for the things you may not desire anwers to. A storage bin of sorts. Your faith subjects me to the fantastic, to the unatainable. Ive no more room for unanswerable questions.
My offer was of logic. It removed the color from your wor...

Music Theme – The Shadow
Lisa O. picked our theme for the week. I figure I’ll pick my songs as I write…
There are so many angles swimming around in my mind. ‘The shadow’ has so many literary implications.
To fear one’s shadow is understandable, but there is much to be learned there. It could be said that our other half exists in the shadow.
I have run from the darker recesses of myself at times, thinking that if I stay in the light I might find the peace I am looking for. I have learned that doing that is akin to r...

The Music
It’s the falling note that turns my head
The hum of machines and me
Rock tumbling grace written on my face
A leper’s perspective and terminal grief
These compounds I mix get me there
To the next note, the next big��thing
Twisting through my pathways
Neural neurotic sing song dreams
Lunar miles settle in��my mind
Bewitching finesse for��turning tricks
Synapse explosive, my four sticks

“Be The Vibration” – A Memo From The Universe
While I was reading ‘newsy’ things today, I came across an article that was full of great lingo. There was enough of this lingo to distract me from what the article was about, and I honestly cannot remember the point. It may have been lost before it began.
For the sake of the industry, I will say that the article was very formulaic. It was textbook. It had every appearance of an informed read, but it informed me more as to the brand that the author wanted to reflect -not so much about the arti...

Love In Ten Lines – I Got Picked
“All, everything that I understand, I only understand because I love.” ��� Leo Tolstoy
All that is love
Love can be true
In love with you
Love whispers your name

Love just might last
Love will conquer me
This must��be love

Plastic Dreams ~ Guest Poetry by SouldierGirl
I’m living in a plastic dream
I’m radiohead I’m in the band
They’re singing fake plastic trees
And now I understand
You shot me into a vapor world
I float above, outside of myself
Didn’t you know I loved you so?
You ripped my heart out
And the hole leaks in shock
Plastic heart
Even when the numb wears off
Eyes wide into an atmosphere
Of languid limbs and carbon parts
Didn’t you know I loved you so?
You ripped my heart out
Now nothing is real
I’m light as melted ice and I rarely breathe
I daze blankly into the...

In Your Head
You ask me to open the door
To show them how it’s done
To teach her what to say and
I reply, something like a war
Sighted enemies face-to-face
One waiting to extend grace
The other, blood thirsty taste
Perpetual division defines the two
A new melody sung from above
Discordant strumming all around
Keeps the battle raging always
Neither believe in happy endings
Nor will they ever agree
Pitting one against the other
Is really the only way

Twitter And Johnny O
So I opened a new Twitter account. ‘Ojanpera1‘. I would love to see a few followers from WordPress. I have found a few of you, but I am depending on you to find me as well. I am also looking to hire a tutor to navigate me through the technical complexities…not really, I just thought that would be a good trick to get more followers.
Thanks for the follow!

The Script
Who filled these pages with death
Was it the power drunk, mind-blind
With no spirit watching over them
They siezed our nature, caged us
How did they learn to write this way
Was it good or evil, benevolent weevils
The masses let them scribble our fate
Locked in servitude, happy, satiate
I sought the missing page to read aloud
Shocked, split and twisted at the sound
Our fathers lied, propagated a utopia
A new civilization that wouldn���t care
As the page read, eyes open, gaping wide
A world they created wit...
