28/M/American Sometimes when I shit it smells less bad then usual. Despite this I'm never tempted to taste it. / / Witnessing regular failures to apply this logic more or less universally in society at large is among the primary reasons I think most folks are nuts.

Counting
I had a killer sequence A formula for words I came here to imprint it Like raw metal found to shape I came here to refine it thinking this would be the place I forgot the melody I forgot the rhymes I forgot the feeling And I forgot the lines I stood a gasp in wonder at what this place became From A poetry journal with endless pages to a stupid political games To the muses of my life And Inspiration wasted here For all the venting done And Energy invested here Another wave has come and the waters aren't so clear I remember when the site creator tried to get my ear I remember what I told them A warning made quite clear Of course they did not head it and the consequences reared It's stunted growth a factor of its early brooding years Now the complications surface from the damage done before Things take a time to rot and die but stop and smell these shores...

She was there but could not hear me Pain welled up inside I realised why she was there My eyes hung heavy but stay wide She waits her turn with others I truly start to cry My whales shake the building I want us all to die I scream away the earth I scream away the sky I scream away the heavens A new sun finds my eye It's warmth is that of comfort A reassuring embrace One does not look at the sun I have seen no face The earth moved around me The house I see no more If this worry isn't for me Someone better save the *****

sinew
Shoes in hand Ready to go check the mail I tried to put keys on my feet My eyes crossed Vission blurred and head spinning I reeled back in my seat I groped for the arms I figured "oh that's a bit strange" I was ready to think only of the keys I was ready to take on tunnel vision To avoid the terror of what I'd glimpsed Last night I walked into the wall I had turned out the light in my room Standing on my phone in the dark For however long it takes To finish conversations Turn on some music Forget orientation The light from my blinds In the tired of my mind Cast on the wall a line That reminded me of home Just a step and I'd be there Must have remember where I'd been My nose struck textured sheetrock "What stoped me?" The usless part of me retorts Image of the thermostat burned Itching in my periphery

Crazy? Maybe, or at least so you say to me Hazy days phase me? You've got a ***** loose not me. Drugs? Sure, my baseline state is baked Do I struggle to concentrate? My visions another vibration yet shrugs Where others quest in dreams I've long allready been Where acid whispers plans Who asks just where they began When mushroom people walk with you Do you ask them? Who they're walking with too? **** No, I walk with the vision. I speak with the venom Cuz I fear no evil Not in past or in present why do you? Are you some kinda fool?

Open Mic Right?
I dreamed I was pined under a table Fighting a daemon who had taken my brothers cat A fleeting moment of sanity struck me and I rebuked it "In the name of Jesus" in jest So taken aback it stopped in it's tracks without breath to laugh I watched it react, retract, and redact From combat to convent In mind and in body The tables had turned "In the name of the almighty then?" Who's names I've long known Trying to be modest a feint of a smile I'd shown With prey before me my heart is quick to be hotted, though It's eyes locked with with mine in a bleak stare, it nodded... A visible aura of evil passed from the creature And If its color was any indication The demon wasn't all that bad

My first pet exorcism

Today I
A long awaited meeting set the mood for a dream Only intrupted by a piercing scream I never could place how that came to be Waking up again without you beside me We walked on stardust and enchanted the sky Nothing quite as bright as the sparkle in your eyes Supose that maybe why I never realized That sparkle was a tear and you were trying not to cry Now I see it clearly as it's spelled out on the floor Her blood spilled in cursive "I don't love you anymore"

I'll Never Forget You
I'd act as your maypole An utterance to stir your soul Meh day at your whims Say we have gone riding into the echos even throughout the lowlands The minstrels bello and promenade Causing youths to parody Meh day at your whims Say we have gone riding into the echos even throughout the lowlands Within and surrounding the loch Monoliths reach from the heavens and take root A parcel yet afore we arrive to bare witness Honest decades passed now we shall bare witness with joy In A day meh paramour our party will show and you will know we have arrived at your call I will burn it into meh mind The energy of your shape across the horizon And the heavens beyond Say we have gone riding into the echos even throughout the lowlands Within and surrounding the loch Monoliths reach from the heavens and take root A parcel yet afore we arrive to bare witness Honest decades passed now we shall bare witness with joy In A day mah paramore our party will show and you will know we have arrived at your call Flowing with nimbus a bird of pray scours midgaurd Caught in torrents a mariner catches fleeting glimpses of midgaurd Bird of prey stiring air the torrents becomes untenable Inch toward shore and grasp it to understand it's only soil With the potential of our end millenarian revelations come within our grasp However faced with dread nightmares and the vastness of time I'd act as your maypole An utterance to stir your soul I'd act as your maypole An utterance to stir your soul Within and surrounding the loch Monoliths reach from the heavens and take root A parcel yet afore we arrive to bare witness I'd act as your maypole An utterance to stir your soul Meh day at your whims Say we have gone riding into the echos even throughout the lowlands Within and surrounding the loch Monoliths reach from the heavens and take root A parcel yet afore we arrive to bare witness Honest decades passed now we shall bare witness with joy In A day meh paramour our party will show and you will know we have arrived at your call
