The Billy Buck Kid
bluevelvet May 2017
Time present is that
what you make of it.
Time future is the
great abundant unknown
to those that search
for a new soul.
Time pasts will always
be present in time future.

Do not dwell in
the things you will
never know.
Just look around,
take things slow.
Memories will echo,
the paths that of which
you chose to never go.

Kiss them in dreams,
turn back time in
the areas you wish
to not feel the need to bleed.
Don't lose focus,
this is but a game of
a magical circus.

Know all along,
you are better than
what anyone perceives
you as for so long.
Delusion is a must to live a happy life.
Grabbing at tethered ends,
it'd leave blisters on the skin.
Left alone to pop them,
wander til you find all the dreams
in a rose garden made for thee.

A Thousand Thoughts
bluevelvet May 2017
There is vacant
cloudy smoke in my mind.
These thoughts are
extreme roller coaster rides,
the moments turn
into a fun filled vaction.
Only my head
controls the time.

They say that
the good always dies young,
but that just
is not right.

How can something die
when I have
too much fun,
and all these thoughts
play in my head tonight?

He speaks with salt,
healed the wounds
from past wars he faught
Only able to remember
The different feelings,
She speaks with sugar

Morbid and horrid
he takes the life of those
that question him for a why
Of all the different ones he made
she quiver's with fear and remorse
with the final one he bestowed;
Thy true self

Grenadine
bluevelvet May 2017
Blue Ribbons will do
just fine.
The taste of less fortune,
one of the few
now only able to stutter
this heart of mine.

She dances careless
but only in my daydream.
Show them how that
ugly body can truly caress.

Bright red,
wipe it off.
Whipped beige,
that color never stays.
Deep black,
tell me what you
would have liked.

Run her hand
through her hair,
tell her what
she's always lacked.
Rewind, restart.
She lives in pretend,
she plays where it never ends.

If I touched you softer,
if I round my hips
and match the pout
on h e r pretty lips.

Can I touch you like that?
Can I make your heart beat
like a heavy acid trip?
The same way your eyes
do in five seconds flat.

Smug smiles,
bleak future.
She'll make it look
pretty and luxurious
for that white-lightnin',
psychotic cruiser.

Unsuccessful dreams,
she's back to being sixteen.
Reach for that boys attention,
she never dares to mention
that she doesn't need introduction.
She already knew of
such sweet perfection.

He's a mystery,
he could control her
with such mastery.
He's a worldwind,
leaves her deep-end.

Fight that dwelling.
I sip grenadine,
taste remnants of
his eternal sunshine.

It's a feeling she
could never hide,
a longing that he
will never mind.

You do it so beautifully,
poetically speaking of
the great divine.
Life could've been sublime,
every day would've been
our very own sunshine.

Mixed together like
velvet and silver.
Taking another chance,
she already knows
this foretold song;
the decade lingering
of a cold shiver.

She backs away,
in the darkness she lays.
Reciting fleeting moments
he'll never stick around
to relive anyway.

Watching and learning,
I master in loving
things that doesn't
even have feeling
to give something
to believe in.
Grenadine, sunshine,
can you break this heart of mine?
bluevelvet May 2017
There's beauty in all of her.
In the way she
throws her head back,
covers the half moon her
uneven lips creat.
In the way she
cries some nights,
dies a little more in others,
just to wake up and make
everyone laugh and to
make them feel wanted.
In the way she
has curves that illuminate
in time and possibility.

She craves warm hands,
cold glances cursing
her very existence.
She craves neck kisses,
tummy tickles by hands
that are long gone.
She craves to be
a final, golden chapter
in a book void
of any mistakes.
There's beauty in that too.

She yearns to be free,
a childlike innocence
in the depths of
hills and meadows
in her fickle mind.
Another beauty passing eyes
never dare find.
There's beauty in everyone. No matter who you were or who you are now, you are beautiful and deserve the best any life could bring.

A mighty smirk
clothed a
mousy lurk
He's got skills
that goes for days
He likes to witness
your slow decay

A majestic road
that likes to be a runner
He likes to spin webs
in a sickly thump-er
Last woken memory
is a head bouncing
*****

Could sit here
pass a pen
point those fingers
But there's room
for everyone
to win the
blame game
with nasty little fibbers
To each their own
Grave of three

He deserves the kindness,
the one to find power
in all his blindness
He deserves the one
who will stay,
the one who helps
find the way
The ins and outs of
all the wander filled days

Search and find reason
to write beauty and
the one who's worth it
The one who will be
the real truth behind those words
He's really good at what he does
He should show it off,
Be proud of those words
He already has it
deep within
No bitter or jealousy,
Just regret that stretches endlessly
bluevelvet May 2017
I tried to taste your love
I leaned in for a lick
You poked my rib
**** of the jaw,
I stabbed you in the back
And left a trail of
water, blood and teeth
Dread telling father he wasted all that money on wire brackets
bluevelvet May 2017
I had a dream.
Loaded up a cold van,
drove miles and miles,
blistering sun left
arm uneven tan.
Blaring repeated tune,
your heart now beats
for a different moon.

I had a dream.
The kind where
I'm on the side of a road,
I yell like a forgotten toad.
I'm met with radio silence.
Eyes that never cared,
eyes filled with violence.

I had a dream
on the edge of an empty bed,
I rack my hands through
my stormy head.
The sunsets,
casts shadows through
blue tinted shade.
Deadly icy frost,
it's long shed.
Memories never lost.

Morning comes,
met with beautiful sunrises.
Parallel to the words
I tried to find behind
your timid, deadly eyes.
I seen a ice cream truck and for some reason this came about.

It is fitting perfectly,
missing puzzle piece.
It is not hearing a sob,
"What else do you want from me,"
taking for granted
everything they had to offer.
It is the fluffy stomachs to
lay your head and smell of vanilla.
It is not still crying for someone
that no longer cares for you.
It is waking them up
because your life is falling apart.
It is not finally slowing down
when it is too late.

Bursts of blues and pinks,
swirls of silver and grays.
They crescent over hills
and barrels of wild hay,
they reflect in mirrors
and bring start to day.

Purple and orange,
yellow and fire.
They seep through
the cracks of blinds,
flood the wandering mind
of ones still awake.

Black and stormy,
violent and dreary.
They lead to a moment
passing metal,
concrete, cement.
Crane neck and shameful,
bowed heads.
Wicked smile,
vengeful bob of head.
Rises and sets,
everything once beautiful
without regret.

Singing soft grunge,
her hips sway softly
to the undertone of
a beaten drum.

She pops bubbles
in her minty gum,
he points fingers
shaped like fiery guns.

Tears of gold
in the dead of night,
she beckons the
innocence she can
no longer hold.

Playing in games,
playing guitars.
Seeing stars,
they're filled
with shame.
Music To Watch Boys To is highly recommended.
bluevelvet May 2017
She has a hard time
letting go,
a hard time admitting
what she already knows.
She gets walked over,
she still tries to be clever
for the sake of a smile.

She still loves him.
She still craves him.
She wants the best,
she loses rest.
He seems happy,
guts another hole in
her sunken chest.

She still likes him,
it's a joke really.
Catching her in passing,
makes her feel silly.
But she's just dashing
to see her grand--mother.
Spotted by the unknown,
he makes it known.
But she just wanders
in her little girl blue wonder.

On the edge.
Watering cheap printed flowers
on rough and itchy blankets.
He listens to the heart he no longer wants
dwindle and die,
like a car wreck right before your eyes.
Brings you down by your soul,
in all the ways you used to flow.
Brings you down by calling your grandmother through your cry,
through the years of forgotten sighs
and now you're begging to
be brought home.

Come here.
Heart flutter to this day,
remember cheeky smile,
sweaty hair and the way
he made your world sway.
By the front of your shirt,
he brings you down to his level.
Through the hardwood floor,
he brings you down past dignity left at the door.
On the ground you know,
he brings you down past the crust.
Doesn't stop there,
he takes you to the center of the earth.

Back and forth,
vacant eyes search for remaining worth.
Pavement of past and present,
places you'll never know.
Sadness fills the dreaded sky,
reminds you of a certain time.
Ask yourself why.
You'll dig.
You can dig for two, three,
maybe four.
You can dig until there is nothing more.
Every ghost has a reason,
yours often come like different seasons.
Your a ghost of regret,
a ghost of treading slow.
But you are a ghost,
a ghost that they will always know.

Her daddy once said
to watch out for
the monster's 'round here.
She played it off,
acted all fine.
She walks out and looks around,
wait for them to dine.
Meat is plenty,
but if a soul they long for,
a pathetic one is
all to be found.
She tries a hand at optimistic,
she doesn't like it when someone feels pessimistic.
She isn't artistic,
she isn't easy on the eyes.
She can make anyone laugh,
she's always there for one's that try to play fine.
She cries because she feels alone,
she just wants her heart that was dipped in gold
back from such an evil throne.
Here's something you never knew:
Her favorite is provolone.

burn out
bluevelvet May 2017
I can tell you about addicion.
It comes in many forms.
It creeps in the night,
steals all of your might.
It is futile to fight,
it grabs you by the eye sight.
It's the kind of pills
that gives you all those good feels.
It's the soothing dew
on a glass that holds ghosts of two.
It's the image in the mirror,
the one you can't go any nearer.
It's the daydreams of the past
you can never let go of,
the present that never lasts,
the future that never comes fast.
The way a whisper can make you melt,
and the hands you never knew you'd be able to have felt.
It's the reds you still find chasing
in the guys that only fake it.
It's the curly hair and big eyes,
the ones you still see when you cry.
It's the one you long to know,
wondering when he will finally show.
The dark abyss,
the time travel into infinite.
It's the way you somehow
build people up when everyday
another couple hundred of the
billion stars inside of you
burn out.
And you wonder,
would anyone ever notice when
the last one burns out?
No.
They won't.
Get used to it, I guess.

The Joke
bluevelvet May 2017
This last go around it was
abundant in your voice.
You sneakily throw in my face
just one of the many pretty things
this mouth could bring to life.
You know your marks,
you know where it hurts most.
I finally tried to be better,
the one that used to make your heart sing.
But every time you come around,
just silent screaming blurs.
It isn't anyone's fault,
just the way stars cross.
Filled with regret,
I can never seem to forget
the way it used to be.
Just you and me and
the endless possibilities.
Red trucks are never that far,
just like you and the love of your life
who you claim is so mean.
I guess I deserved that.

He likes the idea of art,
maybe even dabbles in some guitar.
Even has a voice of gold,
at least that's what she told.
Just another treasure
these ears never got to behold.
He likes them petite and tiny,
carbon copy of the things never
to be found behind the eyes
he couldn't find shiny.
So why so nevers playing with a roach?
Was that all some kind of show?
But he wasn't listed off by the drama coach,
too soft for a tough edge.
Why show art your hands make
when you could just sit it in your lap,
having the best of a laugh
while sitting on a ledge,
chains choke and a useless
heart broke?

He likes to contemplate,
sitting in a computer chair.
His eyes are focused when he stares,
nothing in particular there.
He filled life with wonder just by the way he cared,
always a part of me even if
he can't feel anything.
He was the best and I was his kryptonite,
but I was always there every single night.
We spent months doing what kid's like us do,
I was his special little b o o.
I know there is nothing but dead embers,
but I hope he remembers
the good and the bad,
and the way he never made me feel fat.
Walking down this road alone,
I hope he understands that I
will laugh whenever I hear a toad.
He goes to your school, has a weird name too. But I don't remember.

I swallow them
in pieces
like chewing gum.
I do it for death,
I do it for the means
of a safety net.
I take and I take,
I spend until my last dime.
Try to shield the truth,
I cannot hide as well
as my past times.
He's back and
better than ever.
I'm floating in his win,

My brother always told me,
'That mouth of yours is gonna get you in trouble one day,'
But by that time it was already too late.
My mouth did a lot of things.
Built boy's up in a pair of two,
Told pretty lies and
was never really good at hiding my disguise.
Let me pass on some beautiful things,
lashing out for the fear of what mean boy's bring.
Broke several strings,
hurt beautiful boy's with tongue rings.
If ever it broke your spirt,
it'd say sorry.
But what's the point of saying things
they'll never believe or worry
to hear?
It remembers the way of panic when the line went still after your father walked in a filled you with fear.

Turquoise in a set of four,
a catch halfway closing the door.
They have seen this life lived,
the aftermath of lies wish were never told,
and the life desperately seeked that was long ago sold
to the demons unwillingly kept in minds streets.
They don't want anymore.

New faces, new places and
new things.
No paint could cover the grudges formed with words made of sickly thorns.
They haunt 'ever presently should go,
the three ghosts that each hold
stories in the turquoise that used to be known.

Fading in and out of reality,
past has already passed the best of infinite.
Sunken to new low,
drowning in this currents flow.
Self hate, self medicate to
make the inevitable come slow.

Shaky hand reaching to pluck

To feel like I don't

to wonder if I'm enough.
To see it in your eyes,
to feel it in your touch

To finally trust again,
making silly markings on myself
a total waste of time.
To find the one

brand my body with beautiful things,
no longer the inevitable

Will it take my breath away?
Will it be extraordinary?

There is coincidence.
Going somewhere instead
of another place and
somehow meeting
someone that
changes your life forever.
There is decisions.
You decide to
find him,
you decide to finally see him.
You decide you both
deserve something up close.
But there is no fate.
There is no magical hand
somewhere in the sky,
moving us around and playing
a nice game of chess.
I hope you learn that one day.
I hope you are the one
to control your heart.
I hope you understand
everything you deserve.
Life doesn't wait,
it's not fate.
It's your choices,
your actions,
your decisions.
It's your heart and
it's everything that will
always matter.
You deserve to know your life is wonderful the way it is.
You deserve everything that I will never have the chance to give you.

Does this make me selfish?
Being the person who tries

Years later and I can't help

And you can tell.
Notification of

you just know because
it's what you wanted.

Having the one

pinning after but

look at all that perfect glow.
does he know?
i am such a ******* *******.

how it finally feels
bluevelvet May 2017
To fill the mouth
with thousands of seas
only to be met with more thirst.
To have the world
fall onto your brain,
filled with knowledge of the unknown.
To lay awake
reminiscing of all the
things you took for granted,
while they sleep peacefully.
To wobder when
being fully dressed before
presenting yourself in front of a mirror
will no longer be a necessity.
To thinking
you know so much but
knowing so little.
To beg like
the begger you mistook
them for.
To be all alone
and only wanting them,
no one to blame but yourself.
To cry out,
only met with silent,
cold, uncaring.
To spend lifetimes
wanting something that
never wants you.
These are the things you feel much later after getting something you never really had.

Is it safe to say
that you're a better man today?
Is it clear enough
that I acknowledge your contentment in this life?
Have you found
everything you have looked for?
Is it obvious with the way
they find time to make you blush?
Years have passed and
it doesn't fully make sense.
Horrible like a deceiving snake,
I spend my life asking what if.
Doomed to life of hell,
it's what's deserve,
it's what I get.
Year's later, hard to forget.
And honestly, that's the
worst hell that could
ever be foreseen.
Scraping ice of windows,
time has no defeat at your hands.
Living with seeing bear and
never knowing,
a life spent in despair.

Performance of a Lifetime.
bluevelvet May 2017
******* someone
without leaving a trace:

Fill them up,
leave small traces
along the way.
Piece together,
don't miss a beat.
Lead them back,
stomp with your feet.
Be persistent,
always under their nose.
Watch the suffering,
smiles will grow.
This should be your introduction to the book 'Under Arrest:  A Stoners Guied To Breaking A Soul'

I wouldn't expect commission, just let me be the performer for the big screen take on it. I'd give you the performance of a lifetime.

Sleepwalking
bluevelvet May 2017
These old bones
that I have selfishly made
my only home
carry me to places
of the unknown.
They take me far away,
the place I'd spent most
of my days one year.
But I am greeted with
emptiness and regret.
I search the dirt sands,
digging with my weak hands.
My tears make puddles
that turn into mud.
I scream your name,
the words only met with
my heart like blank duds.
I stand and clean the dirt off.
I am no longer needed here,
so my feet take off.
I end up near the place
that I first started.
Heart in a race,
I find your face.
"Can't you see?
People can change.
Why didn't you tell me
instead of playing a game
of hide and seek?"
But I'm only met
with a pistol to my brain.
With my body riddled with meek,
I find that this bridge is nothing
but ashes under your feet.
Tears fall from my eyes,
the eyes that tries but never finds
what my heart yearns to meet.
I will spend a lifetime
using the liquid unseen,
trying to wash away
the blackened dust
for being someone
you will never
trust.
...and I'd be the one you thought you'd find.

He looks like you in that music video.

It could be
the nights he'd touch you
in between hotel sheets,
The way he'd
hold your hand while
walking down vacant
town streets.
It could be
the way he'd smoke your
cigarette and get
ash in your eye,
The way it felt
to kiss when we
were so high.
It could be
the nervous glance
from across a packed room,
The way you'd
prefer your stance
in the hazy gloom.
It could be
the introduction
on a starry night,
but you already recognized
him from the corner
of your eye sight.
Was he just looking too?
Why does it matter?
You already have someone,
And it's not like you're one
to look all that flattering.
Catching up and
******* up.
Why is life but a mystery?
Spending life only
filled with newly
acknowledged history.

Sunken darkness,
my lonely friend.
If only you
had been open,
what could have been?
It's much too late
to shout questions
into the dark.
I had only begun
at the very end.

Death has rotten
me from inside out,
you finally came back.
How does it feel?
Do your worst.
my mind a battlefield,
my soul a sunken broken ship.
My heart is tattered,
eyes filled of hollow.
How does it feel?
The words of spoken, mispoken and
unspoken rush
through these vains.
I hate the person I had become that hurt.
I hate the person that all the pain I've caused made me.
A life spent wondering what if,
a life spent bound to hell.
I deserve more than what you have in store.
I deserve poor,
freak,
weak.
I deserve death.
And years later,
your wish is fulfilling.
So how does it feel?
