Egyptian I channel a higher intelligence that allows me to express, bend, break, create any reality I see fit.
pretty-eyed girl, your underbelly's pink, green, deep time, don't know what you see in me, I overcook things, burn my mouth, trying to speak, as we daggle our already wet feet over the pits of dog-bitten territory, you always scratch first, but I dig deepest, I guess, secretly, I'm ready to see you go, far away, where the screams can't bind you, and all the guilt quietly fades away, where you're comfortable, forever, and your days remain the same, always where words don't come out all ****** and your pretty thoughts untangle at the feet, where love can loop endlessly, and the old me is waiting

1.) I feel fine. 2.) don't like coming down from the high 3.) I'm ready for the next adventure - tired of being here 4.) All 8 sound good to me - 10, reallym oops 5.) I feel fine. 6.) Stomache hurts a little, but I'm eating a little numbers are starting to limit me, space even feels limiting in the thick of repeating, contrasting safety. Danger is fun to me, placing the awareness uncomfortably to expand, 7.) I'm thinking of passages 8.) Dreaming, in creation, romances; freedom 9. still feels fine 1.0.) hallucinatons goodbye

accidental suicide
record breaking amnesia, don't remember how to love you, screaming, you aim for my face, I strike for the gut, where the misery has nestled in disguise, symptoms come in binges, don't think about it stretching, lasting, coming back again, anger, pain, hatred, you are blood, and I still can't pretend, record breaking amnesia, don't remember how to love you, you provide strings with your support, meanings checked at the door, meaning, you attach and consume before we go forth, and, I just asked for help, not a third hand to feed me, not a list of nasty names, not a knife in the back, not another family member trying to bleed me, honesty, clarity, hope: record breaking amnesia, don't remember how to love you

Amnesia
it was time to sow the seed, stitch the old me to the present me, and breathe, release all this anxiety, tension tightening the grip, strapped around my throat, around my hopes, the me I've missed, burn white candles, lay out my stones, rewrite the misery, untie the history, reach closer to the underbelly's guise, mystery, why I've lived through the eyes of others, flies, gnats, and dead meat, there is no me there, just blurred scribbles, hopes for sunshine, trying to be something realer

Body Comb
butterflies love the blood, tumbling about in bellies, whisk it away, the way we pray, a bird being carried by a breeze, lifted essence, manifested, heart shade, finally, at ease, signal came through, translated to sharpened claws, unclenched jaws - unthought it all while sober -   *you came as ocean, as breeze,    as birds, as leaves,    as hues and blues,    sunshines and moons, and you left as you pleased,     opened my mouth wide to cry for you,     praise you,    love you, raise you above   what I've said in silence,   unbreak the trust I betrayed in private,   you came as hearts, as people I've known,   and stories never told, as whispers,   as hugs, and as kisses,   as melodies, repeatedly on my brain, as so, absent of you,       I came to know you:* butterflies love the blood, dying slowly from the greed, whisk it away, the way I pray, would ask for your forgiveness, but I know there is no need, I feel you in the leaps of knowing when to regret, and when to let it be, summon the tides stronger aside dying suns, each day, each night I pray for you to call upon me, like you did when I was your favourite color, pray for you to love the me now, and be sure of no other, so if I adjust the pitch, tune the sounds to form around your wisdom, or pretty eyes, maybe the melody will reach you again, if not for love, lost at sea, then for truth, and maybe friends we'll be, no longer eclipsed by rumors

Hallucinations Fixed/ 10W
I would liken you To a night without stars Were it not for your eyes. I would liken you To a sleep without dreams Were it not for your songs.

Quiet Girl
A poem walks with me he knows me when feeling alone he gives me company Like the dog at his walk precedes his master pulls the leash faster…faster *keep pace with me find peace in poetry* the two side by side break in sweats the dog and his master the two poets forget who runs who merge into one making a poem fully done.

A poem walks with me
-lights out- fall, hands a-clasped, into instantaneous ecstasy like a shot of ****** or morphine, the gland inside of my brain discharging the good glad fluid (Holy Fluid) as i hap-down and hold all my body parts down to a deadstop trance-Healing all my sicknesses-erasing all-not even the shred of a 'I-hope-you' or a Loony Balloon left in it, but the mind blank, serene, thoughtless. When a thought comes a-springing from afar with its held- forth figure of image, you spoof it out, you spuff it off, you fake it, and it fades, and thought never comes-and with joy you realize for the first time 'thinking's just like not thinking- So I don't have to think any more'
