I returned to find
depleted exhaust of years
forgotten

We were on the 4th floor

Today I'm on 6

Missing your lust

But remembering....

Vividly.
Why
am
   I
Waiting
for
     someone
to
  Worship

me
?
I never could have realized
that I was surrounded
by such an immense army
of mannequins
hollow
empty
manufactured
each of them programmed
with their purpose
to perform
play the part
destroy anything in their path
that inhibits reaching
their own  pathetic pleasure
at the expense of those  who
naively
trust
treasure
tolerate
Is there really any honor in this life?
As the known world
crumbles around me
my engines roar to life
rumbling
shooting fire.....
future tantalizes with potential
freedom
exhilarating.
a daily occurrence
like breathing
love
I wish I had known
I was only a diversion
You were that too
But your meaningfulness grew
You think you're with me
when
you sink your fingertips into
my flesh.
You want so desperately
to believe
when you're inside me
you actually know me.
The mirage you believe
of a union complete
does not exist
with me.
The trespasses on sacred territory
have polluted
as far as the eye can see.
Recovery from the chaos
-the desolation-
no breath to catch
from your sucker punch.
You think you are
knowing me
when you are inside of me?
You are with
my
empty remains.
the filth of

your presence

their existence

in a world of

ego absorbed

arrogance

sickens

me
I feel
electrified and alive
when
I inhale
the same air as
you
Your breath
drifts and twines
through the room
searching
finding me
out
and then
you permeate
my pores
effortlessly
my bones ache
supported by the pillows
of dust and air
lids flutter open
and close
memories play like kittens
occasionally
the fun turns ugly
lines crossed
mentally I shake it off
means

Nothing

to me
i
hold hands
hold a job
hold my tongue
hold steady
hold my babies
hold my head high
hold my rocks glass
hold on
hold out
hold your heart
hold the phone
hold it down
hold it up
hold the ghost
hold my breath
hold the line
hold over
hold under
hold  my horses
hold everything
Can't seem to shake
this sense of dread
whips and chains
makin a mess in my head
the voice of the universe
bellows loud and clear
so how is it
that we choose not to hear?
I am here
This is the real world
I can see truth
Even if you don't
Words and rhymes mesmerize me
But you don't fool me
Take your trash and filth
And move on

You have no home here
Refused to leave me
Couldn't stand the thought of losing me
Turned to the only sub to try to stroke his ego
Disposable blow up dolls
(Some more blown up than others mind you)
Then he says he opened his eyes to the epically perfectly imperfect angel who was flying at his side the whole time
"I can't stand losing you" (thanks Sting)
Someone said this to me
recently
So I am reminded
to stay  mindful
of the sensations that saturate
Deliverance
Rescue
and
Salvation
have set me free
I did it in the kitchen

but not done yet

another set next weekend

to the home soundtrack

lesson 1: Quotation marks



common symbol in written language to denote the replication or use of words from a source other than self or a time other than the present

at times citations (or footnotes) are utilized to give credit to said source

you may know them as "finger quotes"...
I wouldn't expect everyone to understand ;-)
sometimes
it feels as though
I've died
a thousand times
this minute
this day
this year
this life
always to
reawaken
missing
one more piece of
my heart
my mind
my soul
wondering if
there will come
a time
of
sweet
nothingness
See the mangle
As you dangle
In the tangle

The web of lies
Just multiplies
The wails and cries

Jaws sink deep
The blows cheap
Preventing sleep

Tend the fire
Of all desire
While I tire

Roll the dice
See the slice
My heart of ice
a haiku*


veiled covert *****
hiding behind the dashes
cower in your shame
A cough in the reeds
Reminds me that I am
Ever and never
Alone
Although
Alone
Is what I
Am
When I cannot
See my adversaries
and
When I cannot
Touch my lover
or
Breathe
my love
Double entendre...the irony lost on all but 2
“All I need is this air in my lungs...”

No need
to chat
pondering
perseverating
the particulars
of the facts
Letting go
is a
powerful
exhale
Really
the only
visceral force
propelling him
thru time
is the
life threatening
hunger
to
inhabit
the place
inside
of her
where his soul was safe
I
can’t trust
you
enough
ever
to give
you
that part of
Me
(again)
I knew you before I ever laid eyes on you.
You were inside me since I was born.
You were in my heart since before you were born.
I remember how consumed I was wanting you
Before I received the gift of you.
Happy birthday my beautiful boy!
don't exist
live it now and live it right....
I have just one request
     To see the green
     And feel the cool
     To smell the clean
     And hear the rule
     To taste the dream
     And be the fool

The multi-colored mask
creates a scene of social shadings
All the senses mocked
by simple, slight evasions

I have just one demand
     To see the light
     And feel the sun
     To smell the night
     And hear the fun
     To taste the right
     And be the one

I'll place you on the pedestal
and surround you with the gold
But I am only human
with a heart that beats grey cold

I have just one day
     To see
     And to feel
     To smell, hear and taste
     And to be
     Just to be
     Real.
Written nearly 21 years ago.....
so sad that I can’t share this joy with you

telling that you’re not here
Tangled in the twine

      of the title wife.

Not knowing

     what to be

Always for show

     but not for real

A useful item

     when used
     with
     proper intent
     and purpose.

A tie that binds.

     Bound.

The ropeburns shine

     Ablaze on my heart and mind
She tickles and teases
pretends to be your friend
except the only thing she wanted
was the attention of men
Sudden rumble
Death’s growl
the bike slowly pulls off
Tight heart vice
I have to check your
location
Home
children…..
The Sirens might be called the Muses of the lower world, Walter Copland Perry observed: "Their song, though irresistibly sweet, was no less sad than sweet, and lapped both body and soul in a fatal lethargy, the forerunner of death and corruption.".....  The term "siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad conclusion. Later writers have implied that the Sirens were cannibals, based on Circe's description of them "lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones."*  


you
  may
    as
      well
        stop
          h­iding
        by
      all
    means
  continue
with
  your
    writing
      keep
        trying
          to
        mind-****
      the
    masses
the real you shines through....in every word you write
I spend enough of my time dodging my
husband’s girlfriends
I don’t want to put on a show
and play nice
with my boyfriend’s new wife
Perennial safety net
the roots grow shallow
for you

I am pierced in place

     Salvation for one
     Release the next
     Indulgence follows
Lust fire lies falling lashes
     Forever entangled
                  and
                    estranged.
Beware for
the predator parades
hiding behind her facade
of
waxen words
lulling you
serenading you with the
toxic tonic of spoken and
unspoken lies
She lies in wait
waits in lies
to pounce and
pierce her venom
through your soul
She knows who she is
You've been touched by her
before
the Troll living under the bridge
in HePo land, amongst you all,
casting her spell
weaving her web
unhinging her jaw
looking for her next meal
Beware the rosy cheeked colleague
passing you in the hall
asking you how you are.
Beware the helpful friend
willing to lend a hand
at a moment's notice.
Beware the grocery clerk
smiling while she inspects your list
sending you off to have a nice day.
Beware
Beware
Beware
All snipers everywhere
False smiles are the turrets they hide behind
Praise offered in an attempt to make you feel safe
Only so they can make their mark
Hit thier target
Finish the job
Bullseye
Yet again my radar malfunctioned.
Let me down.
Disappointed and reminded
That
Love
Of all things
Is apparently disposable
Like everything else
In this
World of waste
Ripping off Goyte and Kimbra....
She was the moon
     that pulled his tides
He worshipped her ghostly glow
     each time the dark settled in
She was the sun
     that lit his path
And drew him
     the proverbial moth to flame

She was sustenance
     air
     water
     fire
     earth

He chose a new satellite
Changed his orbit
Left her on the dark side
Casting no more shadow.
Your I love yous
tumble as effortlessly
as every lie
you ever licked me with.
Your resounding sigh
of passion's release
surely sounds the same
as it did with each of them.
Your empty promises
to honor and cherish
remain broken and suffocated
beneath your ego.
For us
there is no
before them.
How can there be
an after?
I want to feel the *****-le
                                         of
                                    your
                     ­           Skin as
                          your body
                  a puzzle piece
             snaps into my Z -
         curve thighs juxtaposed
     mine back to yours front joined
melted melded mended most effortlessly
yea, it's alright
if you leave tonight
after we tumble through our own time
I'll shake your bones
and you'll melt mine
I'd rather be alone anyway
and I'd much prefer
your nothing to say
my quiet soothes your storms
your fire triggers my alarms
don't worry 'bout it
s'all good
no sweat
definitely better for me if you don't cast your net
Hey Stranger (Mr.Wiz)
Congratulations!
I truly am happy that you are so happy
I just miss the **** out of you sometimes
If you ever go poly
or single……
sure hope you find me
(again)
The clarity came on

came in

came to me

came to be

I came

from where

I came
Yes ...... and .......yes
There is no one
I’d rather be alone
without
than you
You’ll do it to me every time …. … .



the pinch and burn

I

can’t

not
The things I know of you
     Deceit
     Disregard
     Disrespect
Your made up world
presented in a
pretty little package
pretended
     Charm
     Creativity
     Colors
Flamboyant like a male peacock
And now your soulful eyes
claiming to be
real and true
look into mine
no longer blind
     Soulless
     Stinging
     Singed
from the fumes
of your arson
As I stand in the ashes
accused  
although
all I did was
toss a dying ember
onto the ruins left behind
after all your fires
Flibber flabber

          Jibber Jabber

I see the

          Flubber shudder,

Only a periphery.

          From my distance

And my perspective

           Matters of such unimportance

Sunken, rotting

          At the bottom of the sea
My armor may be a bit rusty but I've won every battle with it.  Some people, sadly, get their only pleasure from trespassing, invading and hurting others.  I will consider myself fortunate, despite my scars, that I live my life... and only mine...not as a ****** hoarding stolen moments from others.        Pax
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe I said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back the clock
She used to love me a lot

I remember how good it was back then
And I said it's not to late to start again
We could spend a night together
Take up where we left off
She used to love me a lot

Then I panicked as she turned to walk away
As she went out the door I heard her say
Yes I'm in need of something
But it's something you ain't got
But I used to love you a lot*

highlight of my day

take a listen
forever in the shadow
of your hot breath
licking at my throat
drawing out the inconsistencies
between us and them
when it is only myself
