*poetry in motion sickness* |

Semi Song Drop To cry is to waste a tear to fall is to let them hear your weak to let them know you can�t be strong Don�t cry, they�ll hear you and you can�t let them know because your pain is deep inside it cannot help but grow
I�m bleeding somewhere deep in my soul something is turning around the wrong way I can�t help but want to stay here and wait it out but instead I know that I�ll never find the rainbow my friend, there�s no rainbow or an end I�ll be sitting here forever, and never finding�
I�ll miss you, even though you won�t care at all I�ll miss your smile, your face for a while your hair your walk the way I overhear you talking but you don�t care, you�re afraid or angry or depressed Either way why should I fear, when all that�s left is control to hide those tears, to hide the pain, to keep it all inside
but I have tried, and I can�t anymore. The tears shall flow, the earth will break and move on the pieces will find themselves again and life shall change and I will grow sure there�s so much else to know-
all I can think of is how I have hurt you all I can think of is how I�ll desert you but I�m not leaving by choice, it�s obvious that I can�t stay
I�ll leave this place- get far far away and find a new pain, a new hope, and new emptiness Maybe someday I�ll see you again- maybe someday I�ll hear you again? Please, whatever you do- don�t be untrue I cannot stop wondering oh I cannot lie! I�ll sit here, and take my time to stare at the sky
and I�ll cry- yes I�ll cry- oh I�ll cry.
Don�t tell me not to, I cannot be stopped the tears will flow, the years will fly but my heart will never die.

PUSSY 9
Search
never-ending quest
for higher learning
within yearning
waiting,
wait.
Silent, clam
listen.
eager to-
be- somebody-
someone- else.
wait. Silent. Calm.
Question later-
live now.
live always
jump and believe you can-
fly. Know you can.
Find peace in nothingness
a simple sound
pity the intellects who see
complexities
drift to dreams
with those who walk the tightrope
and fall to the ground
only to bing rubber bounce
high- fly- into the blue-
sprung lacking wings, shivering hope-
death? non-existant.
fear? long forgotten
a new life, a new day-
forget crimson bloodshed
remember the pussy of 9.

| Forced philosophies on everything but what I was trying to mention here. See, the problem is that you won�t let me finish my sentence when I start a run on and I don�t even care anymore when you interrupt me like a train when I�m driving way over the speed limit and it�s about time I stop anyway but I wasn�t planning on it so I loose my speed and I slow down to a halt and all I can think about is keeping my train, not your roller coster cart. That thought vibrates and gradually flutters out of hand, head and state. Concentration is shattered and I�m about to break. I was talking, now I�m leaving, frustrated. |
Why does the world revolve around
everything I can�t comprehend
and the difference between normal and
confusion filled truth is a fine line broken
with my blood dipped knife
of the days I wake and see an
unwelcoming reality?
Eyes gaze
a heart so quickly broken by an airbag eruption-
or just a look- your look
in disapproval.
I am wrong,
yet wrong to me is the
definition of right
and a poem is brought to life
through a smile and one grin upside down
though only you can see me clearly-
wash away crimson traces
from sharp silver blades.
Reflections of ego glisten
Take a part and let
it flow from your fingertips
down into your skin and wait.
Wait for me to erupt.
Patient and improper,
stare at something surreal
a being known as I,
falling asleep in day
and watch as I awaken to the night moon
howling in the darkness of my thoughts.
Understandably you see a miserable face.
Words written down like
a continuos machine gun fire-
though the trigger is pulled in rare
your eyes create light in my bittersweet sorrow
and if it is love
that you enlighten my heart with-
a simple kiss shall remind
of a time when innocence was still
a time when I was free,
and the difference between normal and not
was based on sanity
and not whom one loves.
|
If only a tear so gentle could fall
down a momentarily miserable cheek
in mid-state depression
glimmering rocks insanity sprawling
in the love that twists the mind
moist droplets drip down
listen to them hit solid ground
follow noises, pitter-patter
a rainbow follows, be patient.
|
Understanding white-
There is nothing.

A clown in full costume, blushing. Standing, running, fleeing the answers (or- maybe just the questions that they all call out with the names, tricks, games and prejudices)- I become part of the whole uncertainty of everything.
Love is a shadow, seen all around, hiding in the darks when you try to grasp it. I stood, pacing, my shadow- racing. I ran, shattered, absorbed, and began again with new easily breakable glistening glass. Looking through a invigorating window pane I saw you standing, (behold the beauty) a goddess, and I fell, madly- deeply- innocently� slowly. Only a years worth of costume changes and face altering brought me to the full realization of the 3-ringed love for you, flying higher than a tightrope walk from here to the sky. Sweet, trembling blue star gazer watching the world spin while I spy your heart beat louder than an orchestra of crickets chirping in wonder. I see you, there, before me- and it only takes a second to react- (a tear) an ocean of surprise, every time I evaluate what is here and what I have to kiss and caress. My thick white makeup no-longer is of use; the red squeaky nose hidden behind for all those years can now be thrown proudly in metal trash cans I won�t allow myself to fall into. Thick rouge kissed away by sudden impact of intense pale pink puckered lips. The superficiality of the jester I once was washes away from the sun storms with friendly rainbows decorating eerily perfect heavens, brewing from blissful confusions. Only your eyes teach me the lessons that previously were incomprehensible to my isolated soul. Striped pants, plaid shirts, wigs miles high drift irrelevant when your lashes bounce and cheeks turn red- redder than a fire truck lights spinning with a noise that reminds me of my heart, pulse, beat- raging in a humorously satisfying race to the non-existent finish line where everyday is a new start and every heart quenching kiss is a checkpoint. The clown will never forget who she is, what lies deep within her, the very meat that creates her psyche. She�ll always be a painted insanity, purposely tripping over the invisible strings to make others chuckle. I�ve seen those who fear the clowns. They are afraid because all they see is the exterior stained persona. One might see a smile, frown, tear, high-raised eyebrows, big red dot cheeks- but no one ever sees a human being polished with the irony of being so clear as to who they are and what they stand for, while others laugh at their concealment, forgetting that this presence is not the truth, and that they are the buffoons who laugh at their own flaws by watching an actor take on many in exaggerated form. There is no such thing as a fool in love- for love in the fool and we all are drawn to the innocence of foolishness with our own intelligent free will. And in a sense, we�re all clowns- all objects of a laugh when others watch us create our own bubbles of improvised questionably comic material. But, I am the special clown. I hear my thoughts tick through my head like a time bomb and I know one day it will explode and that will be the end of this thick minded clown who took the time to walk opposite the rest of the crowd as they pointed, stared, laughed, and hated. This clown will die proud, and be buried into the darkness of an unconscious eternity with her last heart beat screaming so loud, the people across the world will stop in their tracks and realize just how important such a unique being is in their lives. They will finally understand that not everyone is the same, that sometimes right is wrong and wrong is right- that they aren�t always sure of what they�re sure of. I will teach a lesson with my death, just as you taught me with your pale sapphire instruments of sight. The world will know this clown by name, and by the love she has been gladly drowned by. |
As I hold you in my arms whisper stories of faux past love making in your ear exaggerating the "sssss" send chills promptly down your spine grasp your body tightly suck gently, mouth tasting your world, skin, smooth- Baby blues hidden under blindfold, each hand cuffed to bed alone for the weekend: your house- your bed, your love, your life� my erotic improvisation taught by instinct following your heart beat- boom- beat listening in-between tender hills nails clench skin tightly pleasing you, a silent goal you fly high in the moonlight convulsing with fulfillment and I win this sick game of human nature we fall, (not so asleep) you want more- I give you more. Into the dawn we dance kiss after kiss and the sun rises on your silk then eyes shut, hands are released and genuine relaxation in the arms of one loved takes hold of what once was known as reality. |
A dark location your fingers drenched searching for sites of arousal and I told you I loved you because I�ve never felt the same before or after, I can�t speak for tomorrow- now- I feel your love and it echoes inside your hands touch everywhere I kiss you with my mind, my soul, my heart- I do love you, and tears fall when I audibly confess in the darkness soaking your soft skin as I lean in for another kiss. |
Open my eyes please it�s not to hard- on my knees crying like a baby wait- I am one whining loudly not so proudly can�t take reality so I stop- can�t grow a day older already sixteen- already colder never be that innocent me again never be the me I wish to be again always growing, learning, maturing- swelling like honey bee stings big so big can�t see I anymore- just see you staring from behind asking who are you there? Why do you care? I spoke to you a day ago -I think- maybe not- but you�re all the same starlets seeking fame and I�m one of you- never wanted to- be. Always craved to be unlike the others I didn�t care if I had to- I would be the ugly duckling in the group or the dead chicken used for soup (because I�d do some good for someone) but alive I can�t do shit- I�m an ordinary girl- no matter what I say- or how I cry I�m just white middle class not black so I can have pride like that the modern day African pride- and I�m not a Christian or a Muslim I don�t believe in Santa Claus cause I don�t believe in you. Infatuated with the possibilities that they�ve thrown in front of me or so it seems- but they might not be- there- I don�t care. I don�t care. I don�t care! I�ll just sit here in my rocking chair and stare- at you- staring back- at me- here. Waiting for something to happen- anticipating life as it should be but no- life could never be good- to me- no- life could never bring satisfaction- euphoria- now what the hell is that? Half the world believes I�m going to hell the other half doesn�t believe in me- Where am I standing now? In a room with brown wooden walls rust carpeting, off white cutting off the sky and here I am- but where am I? Typing away with the keyboard going- click-click-click I hear it as fingers press down-down-down on the keys-every pain is going- click-click-click and if you were screaming next door I doubt I�d hear you because I�m lost in my own world but don�t ask me where I am because I don�t know- and don�t ask me where I�m going because I haven�t got a clue please don�t tell me who I am because I am not you. I am not you. I am not you. I am not you. I guess I�m still raw and fresh- and suntan free- I�ll burn, but only for the person called me- walking alone with the world gazing into my eyes leaving everything I thought I knew exposed they�ll never let me believe in fiction will they? No. Will they? Sure- it�s called a world where there is birth and a hundred or so years later you die without faith the world would flood- cry cry cry cry cry cry cry but I�m here. again. here. Where is here? Who am I? where am I? Can I be- in a pitch black room with arms all around limbs twisting me like some virtual reality game I�m playing and running out of quarters hope they take dimes. Hope they still want me- I�m some entertainment for the divine one or two or three- floating in space with me in a pinball machine- racking up the points, hitting each spot with a ding- ding- ding- ding- ding and on the seventh day god said- crap, I messed up- oh well- it�s only my sixty first try- and I�m eternal- I�m not gonna die like these- fools- I�ve created- ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny. They�ll run around and think they are all- running to answer call after call *ring ring ring* praying to me- ha ha ha ha ha praying to me? Sure they will- I�ve given them life- I�ve also given them the knife to take their life and they will and I�ll laugh again- ha ha ha ha funny.- humor me down there, will you? I don�t have to ask- humor me down there, will you? ha ha ha ha HA. Funny. I�m not laughing here- the me- where am I? this me- I�m not- I am- not- you. I am not me. But where do those insects crawl from? Out of the gutter holes in the street pavement yellow lines dangling out of the blue warped hangers in closets you�re supposed to hide in- don�t come out of them because the world with fall- he�s just laughing because it�s already fallen- ha ha ha ha ha. What I say, what I do- who I am- it doesn�t matter- here. There- where? I�m not anywhere but inside the endless womb where I�m born into an incubator then popped into the next- do you believe in death? Love? Pain- I feel pain. Now. I am pain. I encompass truth's pain in my palm but I�m just a adolescent middle class darling from suburbia hello there. Knock on my door like those Jehovah�s- you know what? of course you don�t- why bother asking? You know who? of course you don�t- why bother asking? Because when we fail to ask we neglect to live. And as I�m born again each day- as I walk barefoot on the cold grass fresh with dew- I remember who I am. Who am I?- I�m the blood flesh and bones called I- called me- see? tingling crimson flowing inside fishing for answers- I�ve got middle class suburban pride- I don�t need your answers. |

Burning eyes late again white screen trembling- again- talking to you and others and you- again- wasting time (none to waste) again, again, again- falling asleep (never awake) talking to you again- |
I�m a constant hypocrite never spend time wasting but I can�t use it like I should and days go by without a pause they are numbered, lettered too- A B C D E F G- can�t stop here, let go of me� counting one by one by two I want to be twenty seven and six months young- a blonde, a brunette, a redhead fat, short, tall, smart, unseasoned- never blind- I�d always see your face there beckoning an unhealthy faint pathos can�t live without you in my head- your glossy eyes laminated (hidden but not)- they are jumping around loudly I hear you all day long- constantly but I�ll forget you, won�t I? remembering only what matters you matter more than anything- but you�ll never know that will you? I guess not. I should move on- but still I find myself with musings of you floating around inside my soul somewhere stinging microscopic infatuation bacteria- always growing, duplicating, taking over- shutting down- me as an individual- a living, breathing being- now I�m just thoughts of you and tears of the ultimate reality of the love I will never grasp. |
Take my life in your hands and let go let me drip down to your feet (I�ll suck on your toes) walk all over heat the fire- don�t ever question- urge- want- cravings- desire I want you all over� Hold my heart and drop it step on it- stomp it. let my mind ooze through your fingertips and it will be part of - tomorrow I�ll see- Tonight we�ll be- free- Walk down the road with no sidewalks where the cars are going three hundred miles per hour- no matter the danger you stop- and pick me a flower- overcome by the sweetness at the heat-I ask- time for a shower? So we ran down the highway going full speed - our feet walked our souls sprinted- we had to feed, (do the deed) no one took the lead run. Run. Faster. Get on down the road. Hop. Slower. Taste- lower- watch me moan. I like you in my arms- I like to suck on your toes- I never asked for this perfection sure it�s not perfect but lives about correction and now it�s a second and I have to explain dearest apologizes, my object of affection can�t come to dinner cuz she�s busy in my head- |
Moving pictures on the walls don�t comprehend until they fall take your time girl- love the way the time ticks on like cherry rain I could spend all day loving you but I instead want to run want to fly but I�ve already touched the sky I guess you haven�t cuz you are still reaching- maybe if you don�t reach, the sky will fall- you can touch it and all Feel my light. Feel my love. Hold my hand- don�t need me to say it kiss me- always- playing your guitar and I�ll run free, yes I�ll run free- in the woods barefoot naked with my clothes on air seeping in through my skirt- kissing you down in the dirt- tasting the fruit of my existence falling up. Jumping to my rhythm watching you sing- listening to me breath hearing you cry- I want to here you cry not those tears of pain -the other kind. Make believe I�m a picture on a wall look at me deeply- close or not at all- take a look again while you�re running away please remind yourself of all I have to say Take my voice with my words I sigh hold onto me like you would to the sky- it�s falling. It�s falling. I�ve asked it to do me a favor- it�s falling. It�s falling. it�s here. here. here. here--- |
I need a new direction find my celebration in the room with white walls tell me a story of radio active fire flies dancing a glow right before my very eyes tell me a story understand my mind why can�t you stop? Stop asking- stop telling- me where I�m going when I�m already there- I�ve been there- done that- bored now- moving on- see ya around- |
See I want to live in a perfect world but it�s absurd so I move on a teachers pet-bark bark pussy cat. Meow Meow- in the room- on a chair- reading stories night and day You stay inside, far away if only you�d listen if only I�d say- instead I dream. Instead I cry. Keeping all my feelings inside. I see you time- and time again- but nothing matters- we�re not even friends- 11 years older- that�s where it ends never was started- always staring right through walls thinking you�ll appear at the shopping mall wishing you want the same as me- believing in faux opportunity- crying again. Always in tears- 3 whole long- fucking years- I guess that�s it- what else can I say- leave me alone- go - go- away- |
| I want to walk into the school late at night and find you there grading papers sitting in your button down lilac shirt and skirt just short enough to drive me completely mad. You�d look up at me with those big blue eyes with the clearest desire I�ve ever witnessed, ever-so innocently trying at your every will to hide your deep urge to lie down and tempt me closer. You would try to ignore me, gently brushing your satiny hair behind your ear sending splinters of hot bronze up and down my spine. I would slowly walk over, letting you know exactly what I wanted. It wouldn�t be you wrongly taking me nor I guiltfully making love to you. In a simultaneous dance we�d fall into each others arms and arose each other time and time again as if the bell would never ring- |

$24 dollars left in the zipper compartment of my metallic leather purse as I walked efficiently into Waldenbooks. The mall was a giant money waster and mind blower, and for years I had been spending cent after cent on CDs, clothing and other extravagant junk. My goal walking into this store full of marvelous readings was to purchase the most magazines my money could buy. Perhaps not junk, but according to my room filled with three overflowing sky high boxes of magazines, some read, some not- it was more of an addiction to purchase this shiny, thin collections of articles and bright, beautiful, perfect celebrities gracing pages and pages of endless jabber. It was a sinful rush to reach high up on the selves to pictures of Sarah Jessica Parker and those idiots on Survival, and any other shape or size of a person who layed flat on the cover of one of those weekly entertainment magazines. I grabbed both, as well as the latest copy of Nylon, which had a beautiful picture of Gwen Stefani with her radiant pink hair on top. They might say don�t judge a book by it�s cover�but I always judge those monthly literary collections by theirs. After having these three glossy flats in my hand I couldn�t find any more covers of interest- with atleast ten dollars left to spare. Then this brilliant idea popped into my head. An idea personally more brilliant than any I had had within the past year, exactly. Well- the idea was the same one I had one year ago, but this time I purchased more reasonably. I never thought I could get tired of reading periodicals, but the day came when I could not read each page with enthusiasm anymore. The pictures never bore me- so I�d skip most text and find myself at the end, consider it finished and cut them up for my giant wall collage. I felt my magazine information craving slipping during the past summer, so as I entered a two story Barnes and Noble in New York City, I felt a need for some other form of information or even fictional ideas. I saw a giant book on display, The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. I knew that I had enjoyed her shorter, Anthem in English class sophomore year, but this book looked so terribly frightening. I haven�t read books since the days when I would read one a night- Sweet Valley or other books of the sort. But holding this twenty dollar plus tax, 1000 plus page book in my hands made me feel powerful, intellectual. A dumb way to obtain a rush but it worked, and as I went to the cashier with my acquisitions I felt extremely extraordinary buying a book- amongst hundreds of people in the store doing exactly the same thing- but this was my book- something I was GOING to read- not for school, but on my own- for ENTERTAINMENT.
That was a year ago. I�m on page twenty of the book and I�ve read it so long ago I might as well claim to be on page zero. Yesterday I realized the purchase of a thousand page book wouldn�t do me any good, so I crept along the fiction section-alphabetized by author in a confusing sort of way, until I found the letter V. Vonnegut. I�ve heard of him- by many young adults and older teens who seem to enjoy his work. I�ve read two of his short stories from the collection: Welcome to the Monkey House, so I found it, picked it up and ran my fingers down it�s matte cream cover. Though it had no pictures of supermodels or famous persona planted on the cover for attention, it was more beautiful than any of the hundreds of covers hid behind one another at the front of the store to the left. In this book contained stories of who-knows-what, causing more curiosity and energy tingling within. A few moments passed as my attempts to stand with my bags of CDs and clothing held me down until I finally succeeded. I brought the smooth book filled with three to ten page stories to the counter along with my three not-so beautiful magazines. Behind the counter stood a funny looking guy with dark hair, glasses and a smile on his face. As soon as his saw my purchase he began to go off about how he loves Vonnegut and I felt like such a moron- I was totally clueless about any of his other novels- the only thing I knew was the two stories I�ve read from the book he now held in his hand. I was honest with him: told him how I haven�t read in forever and would genuinely like to get "hooked" (as he put it) on something again. He excitedly told me of Cat�s Cradle, by the same author, which had gotten him hooked on Vonnegut along with the book waiting patiently to be mine at the counter. The book he brought back was the same in size and flash, but a nice dull inviting pink in color. After he explained how the chapters were only a page or two long each (which is perfect for a reader with ADD, I thought)- after I held the smooth dull mauve in my hands, I wanted this fictitious beast so dearly. Unfortunately, I did not have enough money to buy it as well, so I denied his persuasion and paid the man for my three hideous magazines and one gorgeous book. I left the store with the smile of pride, knowing that I had just left a bookstore� ACTUALLY PURCHASING A BOOK. Quite a silly sense of pride, but it�s what I honestly felt. I sat down outside the store to wait for my mother trying on shirts down at Lord and Taylor�s, taking an awfully long time. I could have taken my beautiful purchase out to read, but I felt wrong to be sitting and reading in public- looking like an intellect. Perhaps I was terrified that random people would come up to me and start conversations about Vonnegut like the guy at the bookstore and I would have no clue what to say besides sit there and nod at them until they realized what an idiot they were talking to and quickly went away. So I sat there with the white plastic bag with blue print on my lap, peeking in occasionally to see my adorable pet. I felt so joyful and ecstatic upon my finally wise usage of my not-so hard earned money saved from my lunches when I spent two dollars instead of the three I was given. Many minutes later my mother appeared towards the end of the mall and her blue blur pranced confusedly towards Waldenbooks. She had gotten mixed up on the location of where she was supposed to meet me (again) and had went downstairs and walked half of the mall before she realized she was supposed to meet me upstairs. I still had enthusiasm in my voice as I told my mother about my purchase. She was not as pleased as I wish she would be, because she wants me to read the books I�m assigned for school summer reading first- and she knows that if I actually do start reading this one that the others will be put off to late august (even though I intend to really read every night this summer)- but somehow I convinced her to return with me to Waldenbooks with her credit card to buy a book I needed for summer reading- and another I had run out of funds for- Cat�s Cradle. |
We ended up in the laundry room dark, tight, miniature encolsing as others watched a movie in the chamber neighboring I felt the dangerously careless vixen in me emerge as my eyes glanced up and down her figure sillouetted by the pale yellow light gently gliding in through shutter craters illuminating inches of skin at a time, flikering in her eyes like rain droplets interuppting the ocean my heart pace began to run sprints across unknown lands but I, the siren, was not overwhelmed by the beats ryhmically pounding within- mesmerized by my own self being, the great assurance- the seductress I had instantly become- she startled me until the lights in her eyes told me it was all right and then I played my part out to the fullest I could- kissing her tender lips with insane desire sitting on top the cool metal contraptions- wrapping limbs around her tightly. I let my fingers descent- innocently like an amateur fiend guiltfully like a perfectly adroit lustful beast quietly like the ocean the water droplets entered and dizzolved into without fame- I didn�t need to experience all of you to be this coquette I claim to be maybe others wouldn�t see me in that way- but she knows- and as I kissed her, my lips danced upon hers as if she was the sweetest candy offered for free- I sat with her alone in the darkness- on top the freezing metal gadget devouring the excitement of those few minutes- or hours- that past us like my years of life have past me- after our exit, the movie was still keeping the others entertained, ergo we took upon us the opportunity, crept into the washroom, letting our lips nibble at each other some more- as I reached to the cold metal doorknob and turned the lock harshly to the right- |
Another year at an end as I stare out into the deep blue sky through my half available window view while reposing on my pliable mattress silently thinking about how quickly time has passed how in 365 more days I�d probably be lying there again except it would be all over and all at a start. Innocence and surreal musings lead my adolescent flight of fancy I�m shot down by this reality flooding my picture as the broken shades on my windows creep ever so slowly down- my view will soon only include the darks of the trees in the back but it doesn�t matter anyway, because I don�t need to see the sky to know it�s there- before I never saw my future clearly. I only gazed at my lilac wallpaper so closely it began to shake now I�m covering my walls with images of the world people, eyes staring down onto my bed- and the wallpaper is peeling- I see the dull yellow ochre tones underneath and I choose not to stare at the decorticating youth eyes glance onward, heart remains spiraling but I have no choice- the time is nearing when I must attempt to flutter amidst those who possess the finest gold plated wings- |
| The crisp stink of a neoteric drag of a cigarette hovered heavily between the thin air that separated our trembling lips. Words were formed yet no sound was ever made. We would lie down and press mouth to ever so gentle deep burgundy gloss covered flesh if the others weren�t around. Sometimes her lips find their way to mine and the world swirls. But instead of focusing on your tender blue eye gazing delicately into mine my thoughts drift to the taste of the cigarette gradually naturally cleansing from her breath. And then, of course, as soon as my focus on her body tangled in my arms becomes agitated, my notions guide themselves to remember the rest of the story: a teacher, an obsession, a smile, a walk- the one who has been a main character in my life story for the past few years without even knowing. She is these thick strands of golden thread that I�m gnarled in- and when I find an easy way out I purposely tie myself back in. I admit, I�m stuck in this infatuation rut that obviously won�t get me anywhere-but here. In the arms of the cigarette goddess I can�t concentrate on the rush, the feeling of a higher liking-that strong emotion that if prolonged enough will automatically lead to a type of love- but all I think about is my obsession, the others, and then all the negative factors in this multi-faceted relationship- like how, when we are around others I feel as if I�m not even her friend- she says she tries to hard to make this perfect but besides that perfection doesn�t exist, all I can say is that if it did, this is far from it. And it�s not that I�m confused on my sexuality or anything. I�m not confused at all, and yet utter clarity tends to cause the most chaos in my life. I see the person I want and I know what I have is not near the same. She is just as beautiful, just as amazing, but everything she is, is too alike to who I am- at times. Before she entered my life this year I had a memorized subconscious list of all the traits I wanted in a partner. I wanted someone who wasn�t afraid of anything (well, everyone has fears, but who wasn�t afraid of my biggest fears�), who could teach me to just walk into new places and meet new people without fear. I never wanted to feel alone. I wanted them to be the mature one in the relationship and recognize the difference between infatuation and love. She doesn�t love me. It�s drives me crazy that she thinks she does because no matter what I say or do I can�t convince her otherwise. I bet I could murder every person on this earth and she�d still be consumed with the idea that she was in love with me. I don�t know why, but I happen to be attracted to those strong, independent women or men who easily sort of the fact and the fiction in their widely colorful lives. Maybe I�m asking too much- looking for too much�wanting something, somebody that doesn�t exist. I have the blue eyed, guitar playing, singing dimpled fifteen year old right now who supposedly loves me. I should be happy with what I have. - but as I once again taste the fresh ashes on her tongue I can�t help but ponder otherwise. |
A little poem will keep me satisfied you hold my hand, I�ll look the other way Do I care if we can�t communicate? Does it matter that when I�m with you my smile seems to fail unless of course you giggle or squint your eyes and dimples form (I guess I smile often enough)- but still, I miss- what I never knew being able to talk to you like I�ve spoken to others just as friends, on whatever- but we just write- poetry- words- in our little notebooks and letters (communication is the key to a successful relationship)- our key tends to be flattened. How can we get this to work? Words fail us- everyone else can just- verbalize- and we just stare into each others eyes with such comfort and tranquility but I wouldn�t mind some conversation. Long talks from across the table or walking down the street as your long strawberry hair gallops in the wind- we could talk about anything. But instead we find nothing- but an odd silence as our hands hold each other tight- our eyes gradually glance opposite. |
Lying here again your eyes-blue-in the dark glowing-traces of light filter in- comforting-tears no more- just-darkness. holding me I�ll cuddle you close you love me? do you? I can�t return but- day after day my body shivers your blue spheres spiral in my head I can�t love you because I don�t know what love is can I just be your best friend and hold you? I can�t be right. I can�t be wrong here. There is nothing to fear but fear- and I fear LOVE. I hate love. But I want to love. I want to be loved. What the hell is wrong with me? Who�s in on this? where does it end? How can you love me when I can�t even feel? Everything I know isn�t even real- all my infatuations. That bullshit I�ve survived on- nothings left. They can�t exist anymore. I have to wake up: in your arms or alone, I can�t keep on dreaming- I know how to set the alarm, I know how to fix this all- (but will I wake up to a nightmare?) The end to this is nothing more or less than truth. |
tender fallings The first taste of snow soft white harmonious flowers falling onto chapped lips- red gloss shaped neatly over must be a fantasy- but dreams wouldn�t allow this gulp- hazy skies-fading in and out dark to light then dark again- quietly the chill of cold air brushes against my skin with cruel tranquility as the sky falls into my mouth.
not so patient Tease me with your pink- tickled soft through my eyes I watch you- don�t remind me- that I won�t be seeing you for a while and now I�ve lost my sight it�s never gone this wrong- but it�s not wrong nor right- and I�ll think of you forever until I can feel your presence near- and tender whispers of your angelic voice ringing heavenly in my ear-
Melting roses cheer me up because I�m crying no reason- all the reasons- withdrawal of my obsession my addiction- you bleeding tea pot roasted pepper sauce grinding cheddar grating fire tracing hollow words imprinting inanities all over everything I once was and the future all sticks- chewing gum volcanoes erupting the tears spilling moist crickets chirping, whining asking: why, why, why? They all smile torn apart from wildfire blazing across fields my head, my home- the heart, alone- hurting drunk to the point of sobriety so hot- feels like ice on flesh wounds open to take fresh stabs tingling charms raging inside have no fear, no hate, no pain, no pride- who are you ever? Not who you were then. Don�t ask. Don�t listen. Hide- |

random acts of utter insanities Star crossing tree wish I had bark like bingo called me ET on the phone (home.) No body likes me mr. Whale show and tell under moon bright in the mists of the dawn and again I remember the nothingness that was of yellow golden floral cries hanging above your head like mint tea flying saucers and you cried because the pain of sleeping nightly on stale marshmallows and chex mix was getting to you. Maybe you�d be better on the rotten mashed potatoes, though- a rest in sour cream can�t really do a body good. Beef: it�s not what�s for dinner this time- I�d rather eat a live cow-moo- and taste the crimson wine drip-drip-drip- and you tell me my sanity exists? But tell me where does it lie? Is the coconut sky falling with the me I never knew that knew the me I�m not the best. Whisper on soft chicken heads as their bodies dance around fountaining blood spilling overboard- passed out yesterday from the alcoholic beverage you didn�t drink, tasting the peach flavored latex you sucked on last night� and you wonder why people call you weird? |
fear bunnies And this time I said fear bunnies won�t hop- all over my heart because usually they stomp� squash me-and later I regret everything I didn�t do or say then the fear bunnies morph into little nibbling rabbits picking my head apart- if only I hadn�t been so afraid-if only- I�m never satisfied because I never live- always trampled by fear- but no� this time� the bunnies are being cooked for dinner and my heart will precede the main course I�m the appetizer-hell, I am the main course and the desert! Leave the fear in the kitchen with the spoiled milk- Trash the unordered insanity. I�m ready to be me. |

A sexual revolution. Bodies intertwined and I forget why I ever tried to restrict myself from this freedom. Pleasure is so much greater than pain said the tone of moan from my neighbor lying down beside. No one asks or ponders our motives, because in reality we all have deep desires- we all want to walk down the street and rip off the clothing of a stranger, pull them into the darks of a hidden ally and taste every inch of this fresh territory. The world makes us think that everyone should be faithful, find one soul mate and stay together until - death or divorce. And we all stay chained up, with our own free will, when all the world of passion and lust force us trembling with pulses of trapped cravings to our grave.
But now the world has stopped spinning- or perchance it has begun to spin quicker. It circles without rhyme or reason, with no motivation because in the end every spot ends up back where they started. And with passion it�s quite the same. Coldness, heat, hot, burning, blazing, fire, explosion, warm, warm, cool. That chill where you take a dip in soft ice cream twirls with warm syrup dangling off the sides of a toasted waffle cone. Devilious deluxe findings so sweet, so succulent swimming in a pool of the insane and the others floating about. In my arms I hold you. In your eyes I see want. I see you wishing to be a part of my flesh, touching my breasts so tenderly as my mind would taste your soft smooth delights. Worlds will often wonder why they decide what�s wrong and right here, but for me I know this obviously is right. Every movement and jolt of every emotion deep inside my heart suddenly swells up to form volcanoes of everlasting gobstoppers. So you suck on them, quietly, in the corner, as my fingers braid your hair, tickling the nape of your neck and teasing you with soft kisses down your back. Can I reach for you and let soft fingertips rest on the innocent wrapping you glisten in? All I wish is a moment of my life where the world could freeze or spin so fast and you and I would be in perfect sync with each other, our heartbeats creating parallel music, your lips softly pressed to mine. Swirls of bliss, a never-ending euphoria with you in my arms. Could it be? |
Today I want your body. Tomorrow I want to indulge in your aftertaste. Don�t think about this moment: it�s in our hands, lets take it and sculpt it into heaven. Close your eyes and I�ll close mine. Imagine nothing between us. Remember when we were children, when we acted completely by instinct, when we danced around as if no one was watching- and if we knew they were then we enjoyed the audience. Let them all watch us make love, here. Let them all talk about our passions, dear. Tell me why you don�t want me and I �ll leave you alone, but if you do then I can�t stop loving you. Your eyes, your hands, your smile, your sweet cotton candy aura that fills the air around you will never be away from my thoughts. Can�t you understand my obsession? Is it my only true that I have to feel, to breathe? Just do what you want to me, tell me about your wildest fantasizes, cover my eyes with smooth finger flesh and play me like a game of operation- swallow me like an ice cream float melting into puddles of caffeinated liquid under our feet, tingling between our toes-- Hold me down when I�m ready to explode, tie me around and rub your fingertips across my spine. Tease me, make me want you more and more and more. Listen to the music in deep infatuation and dance along my icy heart. Walk into fields of heated flowers barefoot-with skies of silver coal hung over our heads, falling down onto our backs like blazing hail in a summers storm. Let the clouds slowly drift across your bosom, so light the touch of one is more than you seem to be able to handle for you find yourself ready to reveal in the bliss of the passion we�ve created. No rules here. No games. Child�s play for grown ups. Looking at me you see who? But you would like to hold me, just as I wish to hold you? You�ve thought it so many times. Your eyes which cannot look into mine without a glimmer of questioning the ballets of love that might be tell so much. You look away but I know somewhere you stare directly into me, wishing to wrap me in tight arms in the darkness on a cool floor- hiding from everything that we know that�s right. And my hands would gently twirl your soft brunette coils of hair always flowing down your back. Your dark eyes would finally honestly stare deep into mine and tell stories that would even corrupt the most polluted of minds. A creative lust you have such as I. Chains, whips, handcuffs or just you and me-our bodies pressed together so close, you kissing me with every last craving left in your petite yet strong and independent figure- letting your lips nibble around my world without any stopping to question. This is completely wrong. But I don�t care, and you don�t care either. It�s basic human instinct, ready to act upon it? Ready to tie me down and chain me up just like you�ve wanted to for the longest time? Don�t even bother to ask, just kiss me. |
-before realizing my that all my stuff was still in the recyle bin-- He went on a mad deleting rampage and everything I ever typed up on here Is gone�most of the things I have copies of but not everything- it�s gone it�s all gone. All those words that have fallen for a year or two now lost into the history of this rotten contraption gone away into the memories damn this stupid thing and my dad too what right does he have to delete all my stuff? What made him go psycho and rid the files I�m going to cry. But now I know better- I�m not saving on this computer anymore, no way� I�m sending each poem and story and idea to an e-mail account hidden from him that only I can delete. And I�ll never delete it- so there. But for now, it�s all lost. What�s left of it I will gather up I feel like I�ve been in a computer hurricane gathering pieces of what was- and the government doesn�t give a shit. |
stuck in bubble gum pie My eyes jump from hand to hand- no one is my corruption it�s just the oil left over from the last spill destroys any attempts to organize the fall into bubble gum pie, never mind what brand, I�m stuck. It holds me down when I want to stand and springs me ahead when I wish to stay. Departing rarely on my own free will, if only I fell right into your arms and your lips of glue would hold me- and I wouldn�t mind my new attachment. If my lips and yours were to touch would my mind explode into pollen causing allergies around- everyone taking Claritin- coughing and wheezing- sneezing-dying(?) but IF I touched you, would it be right, wrong, indifferent? If I kissed you would your mind drift forgetting all the can nots and thinking of the now? Would life live again, a willingful deja-vu- if it�s a love only we could share- and just because of all the hate and rules and constraints this world has made- I will never know the taste of your kiss or how you would react as I glide my fingers through your silky hair. |
Bouncing brunette curls walking parallel to me a second I see- then vanishing into the hallway opposite- only a moment of your hair, your face- everything you are- I watch- not even seeing- you are a blur on the side. I stand still afraid to stare- in fear you�ll somehow notice. But I gaze off to the left or right, intrigued by the dark eyes resting gently in your being, watching over the world. Your thoughts so thick- they dance around like little ballerinas- spinning, leaping. Solo spirits melting through thick ice. The independent radiance- beauty shimmering deep within the intellect you posses. The figure out of sight knows so much her presence divulges me- what I wouldn�t give to learn from her. |
You should pay attention- except you�re doodling again- and so many thoughts flood my mind. I can�t even see through the thick fog when you speak words melt like- m and m�s in your mouth- never in my hand where they belong and it�s just too early to seriously think- I have a math test next period- I�ll probably fail- oh well. What�s there to whine about? life? Maybe. It seems to torment but I guess I�d prefer life than the other. What�s a bird without her wings? Whats day buried deep under what is to come? So- sometimes I smile at the fact that I can open my eyes and shut them as I please. And everything I see is so beautiful- I can�t complain, really. I live a moment at a time, instead of 20 years ahead- edging to death slowly. What lies before me? What does the future hold? I just cannot comprehend- so I choose not to think- it�s still to early to do so anyway. |
| Full coverage of the mind you�re absorbed in constantly wrapping your hair around each of your five right fingers allowing the curls to tempt the world, seduce bee�s in flight.
Suddenly landing, you grab us in your palm, let us melt slowly till our existence dissolves into the thought of curly brown tendrils. Walking by behind me you make the crispest sound- gentle but aware- you know where you are going, or so it seems. I listen, I�m always listening. But the vigorous vibrations are head by all- you wear your skin, nothing wears you. The clarity of thoughts is brilliant when you�re by. �A voice younger than a child�s but mature enough to be the tone of a goddess. And then she smiles. She stares through my spine. My heart levitates at the touch of her icy gaze. I�d run through fields of sharp needles to follow- if you were to enslave me I wouldn�t protest. If you were to love me I�d be far off in your arms away from any worry that ever burned in my veins. I would love you as much as you loved me. |
Shut your eyelids heavy- I want to hear them slam deep within your lungs gasping for air heck if I care kiss me, love me taste my desires lusting for your mind making love with fire tame me like a wild beast make me beg for your touch hold my arms around your neck bring my fingertips to your arousal let them feel your soft flesh till you can�t turn back exploding waterfalls surging off into the distance and leaving the remains of what once was- now a tranquil stream ever ready for the next storm. |
| Cream filled pie a little sooner then I expected jumping on my head- they�re singing what about Dre by Eniemem- but all I know is I enjoy the peanut butter kind. I recently ate too much. So what about the bunch of random idiots roaming the halls? Who said one can�t be you? A few years back or ahead so that�s the way it is. Did you ask me yesterday about pudding? I�m just a coffee ice cream expert, I honestly know much about pudding. Does it taste good? Ask Chef Boy or Dee. Or deny yourself the pleasure of double mint gum- which happens to taste much, much cooler. No one knows what it�s cooler than, maybe a sauna in the middle of a desert at noon. Care to join me? I need a good tan all year round so my skin can rot and wrinkle up like prune juice- it heals dihereia I hear, isn�t that just pleasant? Quite. Don�t bite anything forbidden like eve�s tender apples. Only hold the golden ones and wash them in appropriate diamond sinks, got it? good. Remember, some gum is much much cooler than you are. Hah, I squashed your ego. |
(This could be a song--) Circle the correct answer square your approach kiss my ass- tell me you love everything I am- take a train into the world of you let my hands so soft decorate your smile. Be you, be real. Be everything you are. Don�t try to feel to much- just let it flow, lets just go- forget about what should be, don�t worry about holding my hand or kissing me all night long- can�t we just talk? Can�t we wait? Could I run away- back in time? Should I stay here? Pinned down by your "love." Can�t hurt you, can�t let go. I want to be alone. I want to dig a hole in a cloud- sleep forever- dream till never. Sorry I can�t say no. Sorry I can�t let you go- sorry I�m just wasting you�re time I can�t love you-no I can�t need you-no I can�t want you now that you�re mine. |
Chipped Ruby polish glistening under luminescent lights trampy white trash whore -virgin slut princess fairy don�t drink milk-only dairy queen can tell you, let you taste this is the sapphire globe a wasteland? Burning buildings, abolish the flames. Cry myself to sleep at dawn. Eyes wide in the dark, looking for a spark, hoping for the light- gazing into the night� Stained lips from the green tea ice cream covered with a light layer of gloss tastes sweet and feels sticky on my tongue- feels- so fun I know my eyeshadow�s fading- blush wiping away, glitter lost as I�m sobbing. The tone of your eyes cannot lie. Win games you never knew you were playing. Play games there�s no way you can win. Paint your face-just so it will wash away make yourself that fake beautiful to cover who you really are. Little clown, red nose, red lips, red cheeks- all flushed crimson. Wild glow. Nieve. Baby paint. Embarrassed? I know. Clean it off. Wash it off. Let me see you. |
