you are differenT
 and you should be proud
 because you are the kind of person people write stories about 
your adventurous ways and that tantalizing gaze 
gives beauty and life to a world that knows not the worth of beauty and even less the worth of living
but it is because of your unique assurance that others will see your peace and follow to your world 
a world where even though its hard
 its also captivating
to be in such a place where life is more than simply
 waiting.

Greener grass

There is so much light in this life and with that comes darkness , but one without the other would give the former or later no more purpose. 

I'm feeling nostalgic and philosiferish... and though thats not a word it is a feeling. This life is full of heartbreak,s hopes, dreams, prayers. People who want you to fail, succeed, and others who you will never know. And though they may never know you, you are still connected, because we are human yes, but mostly because of our spirits. The portion of us that understands more perfectly than our minds and bodies ever will. What is it that they can't comprehend? That these these simple moments of pure bliss, heart break, joy, suffocation, peace, empathy, sympathy, loss of hope, and dreaming of greener grasses. That those even the smallest of moments in the smallest of persons still count. that they have purpose and not only this truth, but that those moments, moments even like this as you read my rough thoughts, through the screen that separates us and connects us, they give purpose to those broken hearted, those hopeful, prayerful, lost, or found. It is moments like this, they are moments we may not see but we can imagine the outcome of our lives as we retrace the colorful past. Moments like these show us that life is so much simpler and so much more complex than we could have ever before imagined, but we soon will realize that the simple and complex importance of this life we have seen somewhere else before and felt some where else before. It is the thing that makes life, life, and the thing that makes it possible for us to be more than just human and more than just spirit. It is the thing that bonds both parts of us into the soul. 

That thing I speak of is love.

The world is more than people and more than things it is more than earth and more than water it flows and clogs it was made up of a every opposition man can think of and God could create.

time it has no middle no even place to rest it will continue on relentlessly and what is it that measures time the insistent unwavering ticking of a clock that was followed from a heart beat a steady reliable rhythm that haunts us all in our memories even if the clocks all stopped our heart then is the traitor measuring time ticking on and on until finally there is no end without death and so there will  always be time but we will never be immortal trapped in these blood beating beasts that seek to forsake us and taunt us when our minds are leaving and there is just constant thick red pounding ticking, ticking, and so we meet our end.

Drowning in anguish, 

and left with a boundless 

desperate hope for solace

 though no matter how hard

 You squeeze your eyes shut,

when they open, 

still, you are stuck in dreadful night.
If we only knew

 it is not ourselves 

 that can Exonerate our souls

 from this hellish place 

then we would realize 

there is much we wish to forget in this everlasting night.

-jules Ral

These bodies we inhabit  

Our host of sorts 

We may judge persecute torture 

But what in truth is at fault 

The spirit? 

The body?

Or the soul, 

as the two come into one. 

For if we knew and saw only through the eyes of our sprit 

Or only through the eyes of these corpses 

Who then would we be? 

And how together do we become different? 

For we must all become one 

And we must All be three 

So how then do we find justice?

My love story will not be ordinary neither will my life be. I will not be simply someones infatuation, I will be their everything both infatuation and love. I refuse to be a cliche, to be so stereotypical that I can be placed into one category, and so I will be more than what ever I aspire to be. I will work harder than I ever believed  possible and keep pushing, to obtain the occupation, education, and life  I wish for. I will dream and pray and cry and laugh and dance and love harder than anyone ever imagined possible because that is who I am, that is who I’m meant to be an I have the rest of my life to look forward to.

you are an evergreen, no matter how lives adventures wether your skin to tell the tales you’ve lived, the laughs you’ve shared, and when experience turns your hairs to a silvery gray like the moons shine at its highest peek your radiant countenance will shine through and the world will see beauty for what it is… the purest of souls its light to bright to be dimmed by mortality.

for K&G

theres little things we wish we could live 

over an over again 

like those friday nights or those summer days 

but life passes like the wind 

no way to tell where we go from here 

we are but blank sheets made for writing on 

a beautiful concept the idea of creating ones self 

we are as beings made up of a combination of emotions experiences and memories

that give life to a mortal body

and reason to a searching soul 

-Jules Ral

and so our curse is also our gift we have burning vitality and with it comes final smoke -Jules Ral

i want the boy fall in love with the one who danced with me because he could even though i was shy the one who kissed me in the rain the one who cried because he thought he couldn’t have me a boy who tells me he’s in love with me and means it a boy who tells me I’m beautiful and can’t take his eye a way from me a boy who can’t catch his breath because i never cease to take it away a boy who loves me through thick and thin and lets me know he does every day one who’s happy he has me even though he’s always worried hell loose me thats what i want -Jules Ral

Most wonder why the moments of true heroism are never seen by another character or witnessed by another figment i tell you that in this flurry of choices and actions it is true that only the unseen unadmired and unaccounted yet still most sacrificing actions are what make the act truly heroic. -Jules Ral

and then comes the choices, will he remain a captive of reality or will he allow his mind to create the life he wishes for. -Jules Ral

People say this world is full of cruel and usual punishment, I say yes to the first and no to the later. For there is nothing unusual about this cruel world. -Jules Ral

even if we only make up one small drop in the ocean, the ocean is no ocean without its drops -Jules Ral

i am a butterfly 

i see the world from high above and the skies that turn to night

I fly across the empty places and dance across the filled up spaces

i fill the breeze that pulls me there and in it i may sleep 

for it may seem our lives are long but truly they are short and sleek 

for one cannot find beauty in a thing that lasts forever

 it is beautiful because it ends

and so i am a butterfly that one day soon will shatter 

I eat decay and it eats me while in the dance i sway

but for now ill be a butterfly and flutter flutter away
-Jules Ral

this life is absolutely incredible we are so much more than we could ever imagine and can accomplish more than we ever dreamed ........ -Jules Ral

In short you do not know me, nor do I  know my self fully. So please do not pretend either of us know more because we haven’t reached that point. it will come but only with time. And truthfully time is all we have, so I can honestly say if you try you may succeed in knowing me if only but a little.

The first Drop.

I personally have not achieved anything significant in my life so far.  I'm an 18 year old with a dog and a job, attending a community college in my home town, I'm an over achiever I know, that was sarcasm by the way, who has absolutely no idea what comes next.  But it is my belief that even if we have not achieved something that is labeled as significant to the world, we still have significance. It is all our individual insignificance combined that gives life, beauty, and ultimately purpose to everything we human beings have ever done or will ever do. So me I'm just putting in my two cents, or in the analogy that life is a body of water... my first drop.-Jules Ral
