American Art is apART of me.
Not sure why This rejection leaves behind Feelings that consume my time and attention. It torments my heart by design, Your lies and intentions, Leaving me torn apart inside With blinded recollection. Why do i have faulted selection? My picker is broken and wants imperfection: To sabotage me in the future so fast And give pleasure to both my present and soon to be past. I know these moments are not meant to last But my frustration is relevant and beyond gassed. I want to scream till these ****** feelings finally begin to pass. Why do i never listen to my gut when it says, "Don't do it, you like it so it eventually will leave you in a rut"? It is time to turn the other way before it ends with you in a fuss. Now strut away before you loose more than what you have already lost And remember that minds are the only things that should be crossed.

Am I a vessel Equipped with a womb? Or a mind that buries All underneath its tomb?

Her personal issues
All would try, From country to town, Lands both far and wide, Just to hear her sound. Creatures would cry, From hawk to hound, Grateful where they reside Because her reign is unbound. Worlds near-by, Not yet renowned, Will always confide In her word or account. Even the heavens up high, Nor hell underground Has ever denied Her to speak aloud. Every wise guy, She would astound. Even those claimed divine Her words were agreed as profound. On her side, they will ally Because they are abound To what she may decide Is to be allowed. The stars comply Because they are endowed With light she provides That was once lost but now found. Shy is my Queen but goddess all-around. Serenely modest while She styles her crown.

The oceans are seas of fire The land is a charred dough That crackles and breaks Into tiny flakes That mingle with burning rain As waves crash and rise In fiery tides And singe the shore As they have never done before I stand on the hilltop In a cloak of embers Wearing boots of coal And watch in wonder As the world burns slow Wearing clothing caked With ashy snow And the northern bombs fall And troops march in Civil unrest Age-old fight to be king An aged old bomber With no heart to put in To this hell of war To this clash of man To this devil plan To this horror When we awake in our beds And we open our eyes And read countless And countless Uncountable lines About burning And crying In far off lands That we pronounce with hesitance And we act out our penitence With button clicks and haughty words And ideals upon ideals That crumble like cookies When we miss our own meals And we watch the world burn From our fluorescent screens We smell the decay But cover it with a spray Concocted with lies And “Its-All-Okay” We are separated by glass From the poisonous gas That at others eats away We trust what we hear When the suits calm us down With promises empty And soothing sound Their masks have become A heritage That we accept As our parents did And we let them go on Spinning their webs of Teflon Until we are in comfort And no longer strong As our brothers and sisters Of different skin Burn in the ovens We stay linked in And choke on the ***** That we are given And believe that our kin Has anything at all To do with skin Or what books we read And lives that we lead When we eat our dinners Or go to sleep Or fast for our gods That we have created Our outlets for our convictions (They satisfy our hunger To make meaning) And if they meant anything at all When they made our world It wasn’t this. They did not mean for us to bleed For their names, as if they need Our suffering to feel pleasure -A fatally human measure They did not mean for us to hate But to love, and with love make A world that is a place of light Not one burning through the night Like gasoline This was not the dream Now is the time to make a fuss The oceans are burning Because of us.

Wish there were proper ways Or methods to explain What I'm trying to say. It makes me insane, I cannot convey, Let alone find phrase. It leaves me amazed, Even entertained, It makes me exclaim: "It's here I do proclaim That my heart has a face And he's too far away." The power to persuade With a magnetic gaze, He is able to state: "She is the link to my chain, Without her I'm not the same; My other half and soulmate."

Days to Translate
As we take route Down the path we choose, Towards something new Finding what properly suits, Needs tend to ensue Leaving us confused And we endlessly pursue What is so easy to loose. Luckily You got me and I got you To have transgression to go through What fate had intend us to execute And still we continue, Infinitely doomed, Because our love is true, Bonded, and fused.

Once Again Resumed...
Feelin' manic depressive Because love is the worst life lesson That gets you toyed and messed with Because you thought it was medicine But it was really a choice weapon That made you both get stepping Towards this funk you both are now left in. All because someone couldn't pay attention And count the other as a blessing That would be worth every second Neither of you could question What had happened in the past because you both got the present; Being a gift to each other through the transgression And guide each other in a positive direction That the future two will be able to mention What you both had to do to get to that ascension. Seeking from each other some kind of protection Through being honest and constantly confessing, Rather than we resort to this mind guessing That makes us both all kinds of stressing Because I won't speak and you won't listen And we keep coming back to some sort of reflection, Since we both must dissect where lies this error or in-correction. There is something, however, that needs addressing, Which is why do we have this profound connection That is openly discussed with heart-felt affection-- Leaving us subliminal impressions And alters perspective of what leads us both to perfection?

Reflective Expression
Two people linked by common thoughts Are links within a chain They run throughout the universe With thoughts they cannot tame Where they end they begin And where they begin they end Two roads shall meet Where a sign shall read "Here they became friends".

The Neverending Chain
Recalling that scheme, Sleep was obsolete, Allowing my common sense admit defeat Because, true, it isn't a game and no human is a machine. And I see that I wasn't the one you meant to mistreat But the more I recollect, the more I refuse to believe How I could let myself drown in so much grief That I agree that for some reason it was meant to be; My life is pages in a book or scripted movie scenes. Years memorized into weeks To help me develop ettiquette and physique That allows this lady to manage what she seeks But, yet, still she cannot seem to conceive How you could lie and deceive Your other half that is me and still have her feeling somehow guilty Because without us, we will all be rendered incomplete. And why should I be the one to guarantee That you'll be able to complete your end of the responsibility, Break your disease of a previous routine That revealed a decrease of my own self-esteem, To the point that fear was a factor far too extreme? How are we now going to proceed And actually have something we both can achieve? There is a way we can both succeed And it's through the love that you rinse and repeat To ease through the struggle and agree That you need to taste the sour before you feast on the sweet.

There is a fine little lady That goes by the name of little miss Katie Whose campsite seems way too shady So it'd be nice if she'd calls us back, maybe.
