I find the stillness of 3 am to be one of peace, and of unsettling.
Nothing moves
Nothing breathes
Everything is alive
But everything is still

I don't think
the Lord made words
for the difference
b e t w e e n
loving their memory
and not loving
them
at all.
i love his memory but i do not love him.

this is a poem
about another poem
that touched me in ways
i may never know
it's hard to explain
how this could be so
the moment i read
this other poem
it talked of its sorrows
it talked of its joys
it set down in words
that which i've never known
it brought to the surface
mysteries it needed to show
this other poem
i think reached its goal
as it moved through the rhythm
rolled through the rhyme
took me to places
in other times
made me look inward
enlightened the mind
this other poem
i read at one time

Cold angel

Ant
Dead eyes
never cries
Emotionless face
An angel with no grace
A cold soul
Inner empty never whole
A violent mind
Feelings cannot find
Mummy won't you ever love me?
Why must we contain
our bodies
from one another?

Why do we hide every inch in plastic so thick
it makes us ***** from the chemicals.
Why do we put up with everyone telling us
we are perfect
just the way we are
when in that moment we are covering up our lumps and bumps
with acidic powder that we have inflicted upon ourselves

why
does society tell us that we're wrong
just the way we are
that we need this cosmetic
and that?
and whats worse is,
we are society
we tell ourselves we aren't good enough
until we're thin
with *******
and a tiny waste
but big hips
and long legs
and big lips
and

It's too much
and I
for one
am done
with no direction or purpose,
we find ourselves
wallowing in pools of
self-pity.
we find ourselves longing
for those who whisper spurious words of affection.
after all it has always been better to have someone to hold
on those cold nights
than
being alone.

Time* is in your pockets,

Hurry up and light the rockets,

Put your *emptiness
in the sockets,

Spread smiles and add jollity to the list of dockets,

Make a wish today, and wear your lucky lockets.
Let'em worry, you don't stop chasing what is yours.
