Greek
Spring is a coil when juices boil, vines that spiral, a lust as viral. It's the time when I was born, after a salty summer dawn when two tired ants stayed home. Spring is the dawn of a hundred days, an iris spilt a billion ways. It's the water in the soil heavy enough to float on oil. It's the scent of trembling dirt, the aroma of clean skirt. It's the time to be and grow, something every seed does know. A little sunshine, a hint of snow. It's a time to get your *** and wash your sickle in the flow. Iron rusts and so does blood dust is really just dry mud.

Short Exchange
All I want is to    clean the air we breathe    while drinking from the mud.     I want to climb up to the sun. I want to     grow and grow and grow. I want to stand        against the wind. I want to shade those looking for         a rest, be their cradle and their nest.  I want to give my          children to the hungry.  I want to drown to hold the       dreamers.  I want to burn and warm the workers.              I want to rot               and feed               the               worms.               I want              to grow,            grow and go.         I want not to want.        I want to be a tree.

Want I am
*There is no colour in your cell and there's a reason for the smell. There is no rain which you can taste. Spit it out, or you get maced. There is no walking on the grass bend over, smile and kiss my *** There is is no living in a tree. My books, my laws, no mystery. You were not raised to be a bird, you, are a member of the herd. There is no wingspace in the sky. You work, you **** you die. And you, you have no use for a guitar, you are a peasant, not a Czar. There is no colour in your cell. It is supposed to rhyme with hell. There is a reason for your cage. There is a reason for your rage.*

No Colour
This little pup is black and white. This little pup stays awake at night, choking on the warmth of the midnigh light. This little pup is gonna put up a fight. She's a curious thing, all angry and cute. She's a strange little mutt, whose howl seems mute. Oh, she cries, but after the storm, like when she dies, just before dawn. She scares, but only if she cares. This little pup is in a state, which she naturally thinks is not so great. This little pup is a little gray. This little pup is gonna be ok.

This Little Pup
i knew two warriors, one who breathed and one who didn't. And then he didn't. Maybe this is a poem and maybe it isn't.

Two Warriors
So much pain i cannot feel it. So, i deal with it. Put it in words and deal it. Put it in drawers and seal it. They tell me it's good to feel pain. i tell them i'll cry with the rain i'll save my tears for the seeds, the weeds and the insane.

If I'm to believe in a higher power, then every second feels like an hour. When it's spent away from you, heaven seems plastic and untrue. But if Gods are a delusion, then you'll pardon my intrusion. There's no plan, no we, no "one". Without love, my soul is gone. Yet, if this cosmos was designed, there is a port I have to find. But if it's simply chemistry and dice, then my heart can live on ice. Wake me up when we can travel in time, when we can turn our blood to wine. And if you could be mine, that would be divine. Is there a God? I don't know, I haven't met you.

We are not in this to save ourselves or maybe the only way to save ourselves is to lose our bodies. Let the wolves have our flesh if that is what they want and if they are hungry. We are not fighting because we are hungry. In fact, we are not even fighting because we don't want to fight anymore. There is plenty for all.

Tirelessly he  insisted, "n*obody kwows inspiration negating god".* "O*h  friend, a muse undoubtedly,"* she explained.
