he said/begged,
make love to me just like a woman!

kiss me toe to head, linger on my neck,
trace my waist, begin at my lips, pause at my hips,
quibbles intersperse, quips and licks on eyelids,
nibble me, near me, close and closer yet
unto the glorious victorious near death experience...

whisper me sweet everythings
before during after and over again,
when you must pause to exhale, blow all their warmth
upon thy fingers and bring that warmth inside

Columbus
me with tongue and eyes,
take me slow then again,
even slower, for thy pleasure,
than execute summary judgement upon me

falsely accept, then deny, deny, deny
my every appeal to
oh my god
for anyone's mercy!

adjudge me then guilty yet again,
and to the tower take me
to drown in mine own lashing lamentations,
thy incontrovertible evidence,
mine own uncensored revelations
execute me twice,
slowly, goodly with lengthy and lovely measures


she said,  and so I shall, eventually,
do what you beseech, what you most excellently seek

but you may recall, somewhat earlier, I called out
shotgun
so you must start my dear by following
all the precise driving instructions you just stated,
and bring your GPS^, and, oh yes,
I'm waiting...


too wit and sod this!
he gruffingly huffingly, hurrumphingly, replied,
all hell and damnation,
treat me like a woman just once pity-please!"

can't can't can't -
she be-witchingly cackled!

then sang to me the lyrical words of a
Nobel Prize winner!

"
You fake just like a woman
Yes you do, you make love like a woman
Yes you do, and then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little boy
"
^GPS is a permanently attached male guidance system.
The P does nots stand for Positioning.

One more night of you coming home late.
I swear that's all that it's gonna take.
To make me feel like it's all forgotten. Reinforcing the fact, we hit rock bottom. ****, I just need to know what caused all this ****.
To make my mind go back in time,
And start to reminisce.

On the fact,that we had it all.
Your phone rings, ignore the call.
Never there, even in the fall.
What the hell caused you to drop the ball.
Laid back on that chill ****.
Tell me can you feel this.
The length between us is too thick.
It all died at that picnic.

Laid up on me I'd take it back.
Those moments, we can't get back.
Never thought, it'd come to that.
Even when you said, "I got your back"
Maybe it was too good too last.
Lucky I didn't put that *** on blast.
But **** that **** its in the past.
Throwing accusations in our house of glass.

Remember  way back in the day
When everything was A-Okay.
It was just me and you, skies were forever blue. But then the rain came and washed away
All the structure we had made.
Now we're all black and blue
Battered up from the storm that came through.

Lying in the rubble, why burst the bubble. Everything was going well until you stirred up trouble
Why you never come around here anymore
I've been so alone since you shut that door.
We were so rich in love
Now we're so **** poor,
Nights like these sure make my heart pour

You
She shares her name with a flower
Together I hope we bloom
Come lay with me and I promise
To hold you from dusk until noon
My life was feeling cloudy
Until I met you
My world was so dark
But you give it a whole other hue

Sad Case
For the first time you hit me.
2. For the second time I cut.
3. For the third time he ***** me.
4. For the fourth time I wished myself dead.
5. For the fifth time I lost a friend.
6. For the sixth time I cried.
7. For the seventh time I failed that class.
8. For the eighth time you called me that name.
9. For the ninth time I refused to eat.
10. For the tenth time I tried to **** me.

The Calm
The lonely is the only place I go
probably because isolation is the only friend I know
Broken-hearted but kindness is the only feeling I show
Because the saddest people find a way to smile til tomorrow

With a damaged heart and a wounded soul
I find the strength to breach the cold
Eyes red with tears, heart full of pain
My mind is lost, fighting to be sane
Intrepid but my heart is no fool
Wise old soul, experience's school

The lonely know the wilderness best
The lonely are the kindest, the saddest, the wisest

We live in a world that's normalized bottling feelings up.
But use the word "*****" to describe the few that open up.
Why does our world have to be this way
Feels like talking is dead these days
You've got anxiety in depression at every single corner
Trying to talk about your feelings makes you the foreigner
Let me be here for you
Tell me all your problems I'll share mine too
Show me all the scars I'll kiss those too
Share with me all your dreams and I'll make them come true.

Stare deep into me
Before you bat your eyes
I was here long before he made you cry
I was the one chasing after you for years
Don't you dare cry, I've used up all our tears
Please tell me how can you leave me alone
Does love look at me, stop, scoff, and scoot along
Why are days so short but nights so long
All these questions that will never be answered
Sad thing is the only reason we've talked recently is because of cancer.

poetry is hard
everybody wants to read
your most personal thoughts

the only success you'll see
is when you paint your heart across the page
and pour your soul into pressing that simple "save"

my voice seems worthless until I spill my secrets for the world to see
but what if I want to keep secrets to myself
and let the world see what it thinks it wants

let me write soppy stories of summer days
or mornings filled with cliched coffee cups
loaded with the "real" problems every poet apparently has

the real Problem is that everybody has a problem with not having problems
why can't we be happy having perfect lives

instead, I have to pretend I have problems
when all I really have is the standard stress that comes with being young

The closest thing I have to a real problem is the parabola on my worksheet and the other math problems beyond it

I'm no different from any other aspiring author
wanting recognition for lying
and exaggerating
and imagining problems into existence

because no story exists without conflict
and no peace exists with problems
so we have a bit of a perfect problem paradox

sometimes i feel too much
sometimes i feel too little
i wish i could stay in that happy place
that lies right in the middle

when i feel too much
it's a torrent of emotion
a downpour of epic proportion
and i pray for it to end

yet when it does i don't feel enough
i'm numb, frozen, depressed.
I then pray for this to end
and i'd do anything to feel again

so i'm stuck in this happy limbo
never feeling quite right
like goldilocks in the three bear's house
i can't sleep at night
