About this ebook
This is a collection of poems that was compiled from ages 15 to 23. There are over-arching poems that tie them all together and there are even smaller themes that section them off further. Outside of poems about love and family, which are also included, there are sections on string theory, Deconstructionism, philosophy, epistemology, drug use, and even shit - literal shit. Through deep introspection, witty word-play, or vulgar humor, these poems relate to the spectrum of our being and as such need to be.

Varied Intent - Sean O'Leary
Verifying Variance
Experimenting in word play
To virtually verify all the variance made relevant
Never all-encompassing
Just verifiable
For there are far too many variables
How do I explain varied intent?
How do I extend it?
VaR(ieD) = Variance (i.e. difference)
InTENT? = in a tent of questions
But what does this mean?
How do I verify variance?
First, I must find out what I am undertaking
Then, what my variations are
Lastly, what has actually happened
Upon posing this question
What is being created?
What is happening?
The Intentions to Mention
My fanaticism functions to form ideas of extensions
And to eternally weave life in a tent of questions
Here, I display my dialogues and extend my intention
What are my intentions? – A journey
So, follow the italicized font on the section’s titles
They are numbered
Therein this poem resumes
Stages of Myself
1. Phenomenological veils set up my view
Intake divided by episodes
Stages take form
As a result of the belief of a greater picture
Pixilated microcosms morph to generality
Webs are formed
There is then a gray area emerging
The extreme light from
The colliding kaleidoscopes
Has brought me further from
The light than known possible
Therein is the problem: knowledge collapses
I can live a life if I can remake my life
What are my essential needs at their core?
Get me down to one thing
Then get rid of the concept of number
I am gone
And then, a change of events
As seen in the melting wax
I can build my horizon
And strive for it by my will
I can determine how to fit into my mind
How to mold my extremes
Into the fanatic (at least)
There, maybe, I can then recognize
The tenses and the tension
Then, figure out both sides of what I question
The sane and insane
How do I intend what is extended
How do I extend what I intend?
On what do I relay and
What are the things that I defy?
Where am I and are you here?
Phenomenology
Webs
Imaginary lines – tunnels telekinetic
Piece together everything in one life
to make that the meaning
Initially a tree couldn’t be that simplistic
Simply surreal, a faint image of a web
We gaze on lazily lustful
to imitate mental processes
Cigarettes burn
Passing conceptual congruency
"If there was once one
regardless of multiple changes
variance must end at sameness
– again the one"
Hence, here is the point where morals are drawn
In the clouds, above our knowing to attempt
To follow humanistic ideals of right and wrong
This scale lies in the same place it does on any map
This is about The World
Can we find a close enough similarity
Through our world of dispersing
From further neonates
Novices everyone remains that prolong differentials
I remember that I am able
To compare contrasts and contrast comparisons
I find fullness through the appreciation
And understanding of the differences
That make us the same
As I ponder, wandering through the cosmos
With my brain sodomizing my heart
And my heart enjoying a twist of S & M loving
I will look at the gas particle cluster
And contemplate compliance to The Questions
That we stubbornly answer and label truths
Absent thoughts of consideration
Of other paths to salvation
Therefore, the only religion is religion...
Comparatively:
The moon brings dew to bring sins, here, obstacles
To a day where the necessity becomes just that
(the necessity) Make your webs
Can You Leave the Door Open a Bit?
Beliefs cast shadows – decide: desire and intent
My sensations are perceived/received
But are they conceived? What is conception?
Can it be flawed by emotion?
Rollercoaster into self-destruction
Have my actions reflected my reality?
Has causality, exponentially,
Created a positive telescoping?
Kaleidoscope collides in those times of practicality
If common sense exists, is it a negative cyst?
Is emotion a hinderance of practicality?
In order to fulfill the desires and intents
I must understand my beliefs
The beliefs contain these shadows – that is where I am
They grey – the neutral – leaving open everything
But now I realize I must restrict to fulfill intents
Unexplained rhetoric
Reason is redefined but still not certainly defined
Do I conceive?
Life Relived
Resounded sound sent through regret and rebirth
The earth quakes quickly
Sending reverberations reflecting sanctity
Swiftly, I see songs in all that brings about its essence
Sing a song of sorrow, but make it happy
Market to media – monopolize – on the road – mobile
Bile – benign – beliefs betwixt in a bewitching evil
Self-fulfillment – Am I a product of a possessed
Manipulating necessity
Sex, food, water, sleep, shelter
Schooled in these thoughts – sheltered by rocks
That weigh down our possibility – yet all advance anyway
Which belief do you adopt and how do you worship it?
It takes more than I give (Life)
It takes more than I give (Life)
It takes more than I can give (Life)
But I go on giving (Life)
Get Rid of the Quantitative Me
Lines cross out shades of my picture
Scribbling over scenes of creativity
Like smudging realism into a room without its light
Dark has become grey since my rebirth
I have expected emotion
After the fact of actuality, I am that much closer
To acceptance and content
Reaching extremes through experience
Makes finding a balance that much more real
It takes longer but uncertainty deems it so
Bond – enemy, bond – me
Equality after the suffering we cause each other
The time is about up – help me – hurt me...
Let us see each other after being outside ourselves
Deconstruction creating structure
The oxymorons seem to be making sense
(when telling stories outside the lines)
I only feel that essence is as much
the feeling as the sense
Scents sensed since innocence seemed nonsense
Anger, depression, estrangement
It should have been here but was before last
Calculation, failure, acceptance, content
Scepters of substance see severs
Not as separates but as parts of one
That is one outside the one
This is Starting One Way and Ending Another
Amber wax – frosted glass containing it
The only light I see past oceans of candles
Dimness bringing with it the mood
Sights on the opposite of a mental mirror
Articulated compositions accusing our self-view
Withdrawn from the study of self-health
Not that which you can find resolve in your text
Phonemes mean nothing amongst our syntax
Talk antiquated and just wait,
I wish to see on the whole
So many meanings
Possibilities of piecing together
Puzzles of color wheels
To be aware of the shades in the bright
And making highlights in the night
Sight – changing perspectives
Angels amalgamate – might
To fight the required endurance of flow
So, find the influence with fluctuation
Keep testing different starts
Different means – different ends
Opposing possibility: a liar, among the same
Experience in a different
These are merely poetic expressions
Of what we all potentially go through
The vicissitudes: I start here and end
unknown
Good-Bye, State of Just Wait
Tilling the land; patiently awaiting the harvest
I built up a life in the state of just wait
