Arlo Disarray

i get through times
that i honestly
don’t want to
i dream of days
that are far away
hoping
i’ll eventually
get
to you

but my efforts
are worthless
completely pointless,
really

i know
how
and when
and why
people love me

it never lasts
i’m a fleeting feeling
used
and abused
and only out here
to soften the numbness
to create the false illusion
of something
that will
never
truly
exist
i’m so often
and easily
missed
for things i can never
actually be
sorry.
i’m just me

words are nice
they can create
a facade,
a cozy home
for false feelings
to fester
and mess up
our heads

my life isn’t real
where the ****
are my meds?

i am trying
to exist
but to exit
sounds much cooler
which way is out?
i see the emergency exit
but i’m trying so hard
not to sound the alarm
in my poor attempt
not to take it
oh, my smile?
it’s fine
i mostly fake it

no one seems to know
even though
i’m not
a great liar
but i’m a decent actress
and i can pretend my way
through this mess
in a way
that
only those
who pay attention
will notice

which way is up?
i could try to tell you
but it would only be a guess

you are too good
and too bad
to be true
wouldn’t life just be
a lovely fantasy
with you?

under construction

under construction
this new thing
that we’ve built
covered by
a hovering
obstruction
of guilt

the last time
i felt anything
even close to this
was
never

i want to squish
those bratty lips
into a pucker
like a fish
and give you
an awkward,
but hilarious
kiss
and even though
we’ve not yet
touched
it’s your face
and smile
and voice
that i always miss

this heart
in my chest
says that it
likes you best
and who am i to argue?
why should i
try to protest?
i must confess
that my life
and my mind
are a constant mess
i don’t know if
i’m a damsel
but i’m
most certainly
in distress

****, i really like you
i really want you
i crave
to feel your embrace
to look into your eyes
and rub my face
against your face
to bite your lip
and give you
a taste
i promise not to let
a single
drop
of your
worth
go
to waste

i actually want to live
because
there’s so much
i want to give
there’s so much
i want to share
with you
and the world
when it feels
like just yesterday
i didn’t ******* care
i didn’t think
i could go anywhere
but down
and kept hoping
to soon
end up
in the ground

but here i am singing
and smiling
and doing what i love
with you in my mind
and my heart
giving me
something to dream of

*******, you *******

i love you

taste me

i want
to be
touched
in
a
way
that sends
little
vibrations
down
my
spine

remind
me
again
that
i’m alive

bite into me
like
a piece
of
fruit

taste me

let my
flavor
dribble
down your
chin
and tell me
how
sweet i am

lick
my
lips
to
moisten
them

send me
to the moon

make me see stars

make me
forget
just
for
a moment
that my
sad
little
world
is on fire

i’ll
show you
what’s inside
if you
promise
not to
hide
or cry
or run
or fight

i want
to be
seen
for what
i truly
am
in the light

let your
eyes
set me
free
and we’ll
see
things
together
in a new way
for
the
first time

His reply poem:

I want to see you too

I want you to see
How I see you
To taste your face
And your drippings too
To slide between
Your layers
Lubricate your dreams
Birth them
Into reality

Painstakingly
Remove
Your shattered
Bone fragments
And boil them
To a broth
To heal our
Ailments

Fill your voids
Before you are
Destroyed
By the deep
Longing
To join the
Non-living

Dive
Headfirst
Into your deep
Lacerations
Make them
Rejuvenated
With *******
Murmurations
While embraced
In amplexus
Complex
Proliferation
Of a life only
Dreamed of

Let me
Scoop out
Your tired eyes
Live in a cloud
And do crimes
And rain down
From warm skies
To melt the
Icy confines
Of a past
That doesn't
Make sense

To move into
A future
Where
things
Make even
Less sense
But feel
Like
Real
If only
For a minute

hoping for the most

i want to lick your brain

give me
just
the tiniest
taste

i won’t
let a
single
drop
of
your
brilliance
go to
waste

after all,
you’re
one
in
a
million
or
a
billion
or
whatever that
made up
number
is
that
children
use
to
express
that what
they’re feeling
is
the absolute
best

i’ll meet you on
the Hlíðarfjall
slopes
crossing
my fingers,
toes
and eyes
while hoping
for the most

one day,
maybe,
hopefully,
with wishful
thinking
and
pushing
and
planning
and maybe
a bit
(or more)
of sneaking
we
will be
beyond
these silly
dreams
and actually
be touching
side
by
side
with nothing
left
to
hide
because
we are
actually okay
with
ourselves
and
with
each other

peeling away

i’ve been
slowly
and oh so
carefully
peeling away
layers of myself
like a lizard
shedding its skin
whenever it grows
a little bit

i keep
removing
the old stuff
the icky stuff
the stuff that
keeps me
awake
at night

i’m trying so hard
to find my way
to the light
where maybe
the sun
can help cauterize
my scars
maybe i
can have a chance
to be new
again

until i can rebuild
and renew
i am so grateful
that i can be myself
with you
that i can let
little bits of
the ugly
slip into
our conversation
and you won’t turn me away
you don’t run
when i
show how scary
i can be

thank you
for helping me
take the time
to learn who
i am
and
who i
want to
one day
be

"lexi in the kitchen"

"either tears or blood,either way a flower grows atop the burial,
its gon' take a lot to ease her mind but she not scared of you,
all she want is money and a man to live in her virtue,
don't call her *** and walk off mad , don't know her story dude,
she make you feel like king if you treat her right,
wsh clothes , cook and clean just like her momma side,
lexi in the kitchen with the chitlins and the pies,
you gon' need a woman like that on your side."

the things that make us odd

like
pieces
of
a puzzle,
the things
that
make us odd
are also
what
make us
fit together

"Different Species"

By Arcassin B

Im'a
overall special specimen simply super sensitive to sunlight,
Im'a
god body at 22 leaning for no attention in this world,
Im'a
Poisoned individual just like my brothers and sisters living,
Im'a
moth to a flame bang loud like a shot in the dark , better duck quick so
Im'a,
put all my hatred behind me because I know my enemies won't,
you put me in a bad position , if you say you miss me , you don't,
there are a lot of faces I don't want to see , but I know I can't be like that,
everyone is just a memory in my eyes , I don't wanna go back, so Im'a
Be a different species , a different species entirely,
If you can confide In me.

James M Vines

They pierced his side

On a cruel tree blood and water did flow. From a broken body the sinful world was made whole. In anguish he cried as the spear went in deep. Then rivers of salvation from his side did seep. He gasp for one final breath and said father it is done. Then the sky grew dark and the earth trembled at the setting of the son. A Roman solider looked on and said truly a righteous man has been slain. Yet salvation was born when they pierced his side that day.

If blood and water had not flowed from Christ side, he would not have died and salvation would not have been possible.

Right Quick

By Arcassin Burnham

Time,
Time,
Just Time.
We all,
Will find,
The light.
Time,
Sweet time,
Our lives,
Linger on.
Live it up.
But hold up right quick,
Cracked walls leads to cracked skulls,
Where is the love ?
****** one, plus a few a thousand,
All of the above,
Be a man or get kicked out , or get beat up,
One life , people will hate , don't you give up,
turn up on these dudes like its your last,
Bypass,
All the ******* they lack,
Ignore them,
One day they will all just fall back,
Steal the show, and be the one to break free,
See they dwell off memories,
While your a future adversary,
See while I'm a free agent you live off food stamps and paper payments,
Do you really wanna question on the subject of what lame is?
***** I have sensitivity issues , whats your excuse?
While you walk around acting like nobody's better than you,
All we have is Time,
Time,
Just Time.
We all,
Will find,
The light.
Time,
Sweet time,
Our lives,
Linger on.
Live it up.
I'm pushing all the boundaries, I swear you could never doubt me,
you wouldn't have entertainment, what would you do without me?
You have your own Posse but you'll never see me alone,
To every man in the world that thinks a gang is his home,
I don't need a ******* army just to say what I have to,
But I won't be that negative stereotypical black dude,
Engaging in conflicts with my own race,
You all are over there but this is my space,
Get out of my way,
Time,
Time,
Just Time.
We all,
Will find,
The light.
Time,
Sweet time,
Our lives,
Linger on.
Live it up,
But hold up right quick.

New Experience

By Arcassin Burnham

Pleasure , Pleasure,
Pleasurable desire to be pleasured,
And be looked into when love has this
measure, I could put this all together.

Sexist , sexist,
Thinking women could be ****** objects,
To be appalled in this transaction to look
good in that leather, I could put this together.
This Is a new experience.
This is a new experience.For me
This is a new experience.

Other Worldly (No Guns In The Valley LP)

By Arcassin Burnham

Wait a minute.
wait a minute , wait a minute.

Wait a minute, is there more corruption going in the city?
a lot of homeless people living out of abandon houses
staying in the dark allies where they pet the kittens,
In a country that is run by villains,
no one look for guidance,
Better stay awake and be aware for all the things that you know is
questionable,
How do you explain donald trump talking control?
you can't cause its unmeasurable...

But that's okay,
lie awake in utter silence from the people that will know whats going on,
****,
a place in the universe that you don't wanna be if you lie upon,
pass,
some many people have came and gone in unexpected life expectancy,
so tell me is this where you want to be?
so wait a minute,
you're telling me there is a prophecy so inescapable that any man
could be shattered by this in a matter of seconds,
guess that why we're not safe at all,
Wheres the rabbit hole, I wanna fall,
defeat the beast and overcome it , the vultures are coming , i hope you can bare it all,
I hope so but wait a minute.

A Gem In The Star

by Arcassin Burrnham

What do you put all your faith in?
When it all ends where do you begin?
Gotta live sometimes,
Don't let no one tells lies,
It's all in you.

Jump the gun with some brand new nikes,
Can't let this world ruin all of my psyche,
Can't let it run over my chakra,
The ripples keep calling,
Let nobody stop ya',

What do you put all your faith in?
When it all ends where do you begin?
Gotta live sometimes,
Don't let no one tells lies,

It's all in you.

Where do you find the light at?
When it all ends what can you take back?
The gem is in your eyes,
Can't handle all these lies,
I hope he comes through.
