The nameless musings...
*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.
authors explanation of "pussy 9." First of all, the title was meant to shock in the sense that we all see things in every day life and assume they are wrong, queer, insane, disgusting or whatnot- but then we look further and find that those things we originally thought were so terrible are actually our friends, neighbors, thoughts and life. Secondly, "pussy of 9" is just a rephrasing of the saying that cats have 9 lives. The poem was meant to tell you to live life as if you, too, had 9 lives. Of course, this thought is not very original but it's just my way of saying it. 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.

(But) it is not nothingness.
clear, blank, aware. differently the same. Each breathing being has the white- the emptiness. Snow flakes fly like eagles on a mission to find peace in feathers of a color so plain but not a color at all.
Do you-
see the white skin? Alabaster white? I see no white skins nor black flesh.
the skin, smiles and frowns I see are dark, light and in-between
(but all the same) Maybe chocolate dark chocolate, milk chocolate jelly beans and deluxe cremes the matters of the crunch there is no black or white. Miss bleached superficiality went to the tanning salon before the final coating. Eyes behold intense coloration not black. not white.
the rainbow of life the difference in all that is the same.
(all that is the same)


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.


Salad left on the table
from dinner
and the cranberry juice stained glass-
made of plastic
(is that still called a glass?)
more cups, plates, a red ponytail
dull violet bracelet, 6.99 symbol of love
strand of hair- is it mine? (I wonder)
keys clicking as I try to write here-
late at night here- 9:47- not late at all-
the dark phone sits patiently in it�s cradle
orange light dulls out my view
dad left the baseball game on tv-
cheering- loud- absorbing the light left for me-
reflections in the furniture-
buzzing in my ear
crisp papers spread across the floor
wide open hole in the wall
screaming at me to enter
(leave)- sleep.
Should I go or stay?
shadows cast from stained plastic
are singing to me (is that odd?)
I guess I am a bit exgasted
not a decent word is left for me to write-
here- is ramblings of my last thoughts of the day
(not too exciting).  I didn�t promise it would be�
Did I? -I forget.  Have I mentioned I�m tired?
Dad�s flipping channels- bright commercials
did somebody say mcdonalds?
(you just did, what a dumb question)
and if I have 99 dollars and a job I can get a car
too bad I don�t- dad wants me off-
he talks and my body stirs
it is awake for a second-  
instant energy without caffinee
what the hell am I talking about?
nothing. Am I ever actually talking about anything?
Not really.  Bent straw with blue stripe.
Girlfriend called from work-
I didn�t want to talk-
that�s not right- nothing is right-
ever.  Then again it is-
when I fall into the other world
a daze I�m drifting to-
then it�s perfection-
maybe.


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.
