Her smile is infectious
Contagious
Addictive
Seductive
Effective
I'm infected with a virus named her
Suffering from love
And the symptom is
Smile million times a day

Seeking

And in a thought I find
this wishy washy mind moving
in circular patterns, drinking from the trough
Searching for an answer,
bending beneath the fluorescent light
flickering as if giggling
Dry mouth’d positioning stands
on a checkerboard carpet,
placed out of sheer desperation
along the corridor
of the loneliness that feeds
off of every desire, every want…every thought
including this one

seeking what it has lost…you

C= my style that's constant
V= various topics I choose
T= time that it takes


Now let's do the math


C(same ****** style)+V(various ****)- T(time that's spent)=Q
                                                        ­                                                 That one's for quit!
Given my very own
matrices of philosophy
'pon the very topic of Authority,
why should it be
outlandish
for me to claim
to have an inkling
of understanding
as to how it is
that my Dog, perchance,
may feel?

For,
I am sure,
were I in her situation,
and indeed I could,
I would be thinking:

"I find myself disinclined to obey thee,
for, if thou art in such need of a leash,
then, likely, ye don't deserve me
to be thy loyal follower.

Though, Food-man,
were thee to lend me thy trust,
were thee to unleash me,
I may begin to respect thee
and therefore
lend thee some justified Authority
and thereby
may my loyal Allegiance be with thee."

Such teachers can animal companions be,
if only we are to allow ourselves to learn.
Inspired on a walk with my adorable dog Daphne. If only I trusted her more! She doth loath that leash.

Fingers spell out
moments in history,
with  but a movement.
not as easy as it looks (so much in so little)

A thousand years staring into the Sun,
Retinas burnt remain unmoved,
I cast no shadow as my bones turn to dust,
yet these eyes still stare,
Searching for the moon

little gestures of Your love
carry me through the day
Feeling helped by a power greater than me today, when all I want to do is give up and withdraw from life.  I'm running on fumes, but thankfully I have time for a nap before going into work at night.

I trusted crookedness
Others stopped trusting me

I dealt in lies
Others never believed my words

I hurt others feelings
I fell into a gutter of sufferings

I touched others respect
I found no place in society

I kept to evil
My soul caught in flames

I did whatever God forbade
I have never been happy

There are many books adorning my library
Every stack placed painstakingly
All your names feature in my catalogue
I know you by names and can recall every rendezvous
Each one of you have given me a new perspective
Sitting at the corner of my library, I have seen the world
Everyone of you have opened up to me
So that I could decipher the true meaning behind every words
Every picture registered in the canvas of my mind
I turned every page like an eager child
All of you have been my true companion
No matter the seasons and the year
I always looked at my collection with pride
Every one of you donning an interesting cover
From cover to cover, the pages sleeping in silence
Waiting for me to uncover with love, the way of the world
Every one of you had a different creator, who sacrificed you
It is such a sacrificial ritual for a writer, to reach out to readers like me
It pains them not, but is proud to depart with their possession
Filling you with all the tales and explanations of various themes
Through the centuries, books are a playing a vital role
It’s an art how you read them; read between the lines to decipher the true meaning
Now, I stand proudly in front of the shelves, which showcases my wealth
All of you are not part of a collection, but my friends forever…

I am here even though I should
not, I watch what happens around
and it sickens me the thought of a
society of one people but treated as not.

I see in there eyes the fear of being
caught the chance of a better life from
where they lived, where for reasons
they didnt, i do not know what.

Is this what I am expecting to see,
for if i made myself known, would
i fear those because I am not from
around here. That I look different
to you, who would be feared, you
to me or me to those that see with
only eyes closed shut, instead of
seeing the real me.

I have seen what I needed, this is not the
place for me. I will take my leave maybe
when this culture has grow to respect
difference, to embrace things that they
dont usually see, then back to this planet
I may come for I am an illegal lien and
you are not ready me.

Specimen after Specimen.
One fail after another.
He tries hard to break me.

Ocelot is a fail.
Ocelot is a blasted cat!

Why cant you see thy humanity!?

Ocelot is my name.
And I am stuck here,
Until I die.
Or he kills me.

The needles hurt,
The medicine is vile...

This Asylum,
Is one of Hell..

Somewhere
my
doppleganger
sits eating
chinese take out
for one
watching reruns of Friends
alone  
except for
the cat on her lap
and the four more
scattered about her flat.
She sits
thinking
wishing
life was different
How do I know this
because
that would be me
IF
you had found her first

I always thought nothing could hurt me
Yet your smile kills me softly each day
It tears my heart apart completely
As my thoughts it just sweeps away

It leaves me like a puppy in the window
like the one waiting to be claimed
Hoping that you will turn and notice me
Maybe even wanting to learn my name

For the feeling that overwhelms me
Is one I have learned to know so well
It's an overwhelming passionate emotion
That causes the breath in my chest to fail

For it’s been that way since I first saw you
How these sweeping feelings came over me
And though our lips had never spoken a word
There was born within a strong need to be

I mean a need to feel the tender warmth
That only exists in your embracing arms
Entangled in silent  moments of bliss
That leave the walls deep in a heart so warm

Yes I thought nothing could ever hurt me
Yet your smile kills me softly each day
It tears my longing heart apart completely
As every thought in my mind it sweeps away.
A genuine beginning
