A reflection
to be punched,
shattered glass to cut.
How would
you have liked
my body?
Preferably
something akin
to playing
the game of
volley?
I could
start with my hips,
and then follow
with my stomach.
Or would you
just prefer it
over my wrist?

What does it
feel like to be
the perfect shape
to have set,
cradled in your
lap?
Head on shoulder,
hand on lower
back.
Would the
colorful lights
hung up high
be the thing
to glisten in
your eyes?
Or would it
have been me
and all the
endless possibilities?
Like summer's
playing in the sun,
me calling
shotgun
after your favorite
pastime?
Like holding hands,
stroling in the sand?
Like sitting on
the tops of flat-roofed
buildings,
would you have been
the one I counted
stars with?
Laying there
on that blanket,
life would be
sublime.

A downtown
queen,
She finds solace in being
seen.
The loneliest of
birds,
she doesn't like it when
these feelings are
stird.
Would it have helped
if I had more
beauty?
Four foot something,
but I don't like myself
with dark hair.
Would it have helped
to have been a little more,
or a whole lot more,
trusting?
I'm sorry,
I know it's a continues
recycling of things that
didn't, doesn't, and
never will matter.
But memories, ideas
and impossible dreams
like to come back as waves
in the form of
dark blue scatter.
i'm incredibly naive.

To rush your
hands straight out,
up and under
the opponents
used pads.
That's one
way to make him surely
proud.

To live and
memorize,
to breathe and
worship that
forsaken word.
That's the
only way to
live in his world.

"Sometimes no matter
how hard you try,
there will be people
that you will never
be good enough for,"
That's the only
lesson from him
that I will ever
be eager to learn.
sometimes preachers don't make good at being some things.

the things you feel
bluevelvet May 2017
I push
and
I push
until I get what I want.
To be free
of feelings that
surround me
is only dreams
far, far away.
So listen
to what I say and
when I finally hit the spot,
you give me what I want.
A lash here,
a lash there.
No drug could compare.
These are the feelings
I don't want to fade.
They fill me up
with the knowledge
I already know.
Give me those words,
show yourself.
I don't lie
like that anymore,
but it'd be a lie
if I said that
I meant those things.
There's no
buying into it with you.
You just say the

I bring a lot to the table,
a choice of three.
But everything I do just falls flat.
I could call it karma,
but I don't think it works
like that anymore.
And you make it a point
to have eye contact.
Was it to hurt me?
Was it to show just what
kind of monster lives
in that soul?
I might be a joke,
but the biggest one I believed
was the capacity of you to care.
One minute laughing with
an old friend,
the next was just sweat.
Why would I care?
Just listening to the hustle
and bustle of everyday
life passing me by from the
other side of the bathroom door,
suffocating my life with a hand
over my shallow existence.
Can never let go,
not ever since an ex of an ex
helped me realize just how
I flow.
everything you do is elusive,
to even your honey dew.

My words are pretty

And there is pain in

I'll remember him

I'll remember him

I'll remember him
for the way he
broke my soul
in believing
there was still

I'll remember him
because he was
the only one that
ended on good terms.

I'll remember him
for being just

The truth is,
I had a part

We could

Explore

Then I'd wonder 'round

exploring all the places
I'd memorize

We could
run away together,
wherever you want to.
Maybe
the city of an apple,
maybe
just another small town.

We could
get lost in a small
apartment,
walking down
Broadway Street.
Spending the nights
in cramped and
smoke filled places,
singing soft grunge
until you are found
for the star
I have noticed
that you are.

We could
cruise down the
Boulevards of Hollywood.
Your hand on my thigh,
the wind in my hair.
Smoking rolled up
cigarettes made of
the earth's green nectar,
feelin' like
I don't have to hide
behind my silly

Just tell me all you
want to do,
and I will want to
do it too.
Everything,

To dwindle
is to linger,

Crying out
is to crack a
finger.

I enjoy the quiet,
it's my lonesome,
it is my only
friend.

The rush of wind
as I breathe in.

I exhale you,
and all the
bad things
you like to do.

I'm not one
to judge for a past,
so I won't
fight back.

You came,
you saw,
you left your mark.

But to be
fooled by a fool
is to still care
and always be
there.

You're a friend
of a friend,
and I'm the
third friend.
How does it feel
when the one
you took for granted
doesn't see all
that enchantment?

To ask you
is to be burdening,
for the whispers of
'just try, you never
know'

To play with
ones heart and
well intentions
is the only crime
I can forsee.

To the past

To the present

a candlelight
date.

or something stupid
like going fishing,
he'd hook the bate.

chewing on my lip
without looking up,
"whatever it is
you want to do,
i wouldn't mind
doing it with you"
I would whisper
to the point he
couldn't hear
me hardly.

would he be
the first in a while
to touch my mind
and know my soul
before my body?

and who knows
at the end of the night
maybe a peck
on the cheek.

with him,
would life still
seem to be
so bleak?
just for you.

Career (haiku)

Are these just words
or are they for real?
I don't know,
Maybe I'm just trying
to find a new career.
