Bend and fold your old words around me.
A scold told ages ago won't slight me, Stupid.
And to think,..
What a fickle and scattered little whimpering ******* you're becoming.
Do you think time becomes you?
You're just a toy.
A boy whose poise forever resembles a man with a head full of noise.
Don't put that **** on me, kid.

Insanity soothes me,
Smooths me over,
Keels and kills
The pain of normality.
This breath I breathe,
Comes with it a seething grain of salt,
A grain I'd rather see crumble,
in the stumbling bumbling idiosyncrasy,
you call a ******* culture,
Choke.

The Trouble with HOPE,
Is Some HOPE for Trouble.
Jack Savage Mar 2017
Sits there weeping swept eyes
Rose red ire and sin
Stark nightcrawler within

Button push, does, don't
White lights flood both
Swept eyes, love notes

You've got a problem...

No news, no use
Arm's already at it
Echoes in the attic

Stirs smoke, can't choke
Won't know till she's home
But she's not coming back
Jack Savage Apr 2013
The boy breaks down
On a knee cold and alone
His heart screams,
Echoes void of space, time, or place
The faintest of whispers

Light steals the room
Blind fascination
Gestures suggestion
Come with me
Know of life and love
A voice splashing on the walls once dark

Pain?
No pain
I can see you're tired
The light may burn your eyes,
But I bring warmth
Please, come

Afraid, but willing
Hand out in faith
Darkness is black
The light is gone
As is the boy

Alive with the glory of love.
Jack Savage Apr 2013
Hello there, excuse me
Can you help me lose
A little of my mind
Or the rest of what's left of me
The losses won't get cut or cost us
Until we're tipsy from the *****
Gain the vibe,
**** feeling loose

Alone,
***** deep in a bottle of Goose
The silence got more violently silent
After I tossed Dumbo his noose
But I doubt these next five minutes
Will tell me some new news
So I guess it's safe to say
I'm safe in my own room
For now..

I hate celebrity status village idiots,
Not quip or quick enough to resolve
They're useless
Abandon them,
Like Kardashians,
They milk the useless gift they're used to
Middle class man Stan
He doesn't know what this world is
Doesn't even have the vocabulary
To specifically support the image
Meantime the whirly money's leavin,
What happens when that card's dead

This earth's caught up in it's own smoke,
Toking on the pandemic called man's hubris
No one has the courage to catch eyes in the mirror
They all take sides with Ustes
But I'm used to it
Enough already,
Let me sift switch-like for the verse before this

I keep all the bodies in the walls
So my neighbors won't hear me whisper
Plus I like the company,
At home ******, cold and lonely,
I hear the dead make great listeners
As I, myself, contently intend to directly suppress
The nostalgia deep under my the bed skirt
Lost in the esther's fine print, I'm weaker,
Steeping on this substance

ET can't call me
Caulkin's finger's on the beeper
But I'm not trying to kick it,
I'm home alone for a reason
Hopin dark thoughts don't surface
But if they do,
Hold hope that they're worth it
Creativity's no enemy of mine,
But that ****'s not good all the time
Waterfalls of tortured souls reek of paranoia

I won't deny real eyes,
That seek to see my life
Frankly, the story's kind of boring
They'd finally realize
It's all just lies and groaning
Now please,
Puff puff pass
That battle scar baggage back
To the man that wrote this

Kick back, relax,
But know which way the door is
Just slipped both pill's in my bird drink
Watch the ice animorph it
Overworked, shoulder's hurt,
Stomach light, don't deserve it

Man,
I wonder what's in the kitchen

Cupboard, give me Anagrams
Spit synonym toast crunch
Just found toys
Memories that left me
But cereal's for breakfast
Jack Savage Aug 2016
Your lies; anvils.
Been beaten into me by both sides.

Both shoulders;  Scully/Moulder.
Knew, here/then, something always lay in both eyes.

Lions on lions; pride over pride.
You sipped the straw. Stared at him.
My forced convoluted self-sacrifice.
Am I Seattle? O' sleepless? Save it.
Night after night.

This is not worth it; dirt.
So when you wake up [with]
[Morrow's coffee; my t-shirt],
I'll already be,

Dusk; gone and over it.
Jack Savage May 2017
Engraved in the saved slave's heart
Is a mark before marks,
With chains laiden dark
Does weight really matter
When you('ve) never a start

I should feel freedom
Where I see wandered eyes
It's a shame I can see them,
Glares besting ice

The only tools I had I used to build You up
And now that tools I haven't
What tools can I use to build myself
My future, my family, my strength.

It's a blessing to be a free
But I do not get free blessing
Because those that horde it
Savor the chessing

Free?
I am not free.
And you,
You gave me nothing.
Jack Savage Sep 2013
A wind so strong it stripped the Putrid from sky.
Stripped the Dead from their light.
Stripped the Silence from night.

It carried their Souls.
As Easy as leaves.
Greed bleeds the flowers Green.

The toll of War is cold.
Only meadow holds Peace.
But Peace without doubt,
Cannot be relief.

Screams
             Purge
Haunt
             Earth

A wake brings Sleep.
A Dark new day.
Deaf ears so Meek.
As Quakes lay waste.

A Wind so strong it pulls, not pushes,
The Whispers of warriors and their Flags, before this.
Knocks on the doors and calls to their ******,
Like Poison dripped to the Bottom of a Bottle neck; Sonorous.

A Fever like Fervor,
A Mist that once knew Her,
A Glass that's now Empty,
On a Sunset spelled ******.
Jack Savage Sep 2013
Stenches Swarm as I Flee.
Further is Closer, but Closer can't be.
I'm trying to hide from my own Misery.
This is not just an Excerpt; A Moment; A Thing.
Home is so ******* Far away.
Amidst these Beings, I am Forever alone.

As I Run through my City,
With arms so depraving,
I turn to the sky,
Now Scorched by their screams.
Their caustic teeth,
Slowly Sink into me.
A Carving so starving,
A Man, it could not be.

Dance, lover, dance,
Back, thrown from the chance,
That I might just Taste you,
And Submerge you in Hands.
Hands from the victims,
Now quick with demands.

Your Sweat wets the floor,
Your Blood Bank, A dried Store.

Drip,
        Drip,
                Drip,

You should have checked the Backseat.
This a short narrative poem about a Man in the process of becoming undead.
Jack Savage Apr 2017
It's so hard
In context
to be there for you.
I paint a canvas
for you
black but full.
Why can't you come here
come near
1,2,3,4
I've forgotten
who you are.
Sing the songs,
follow the lyrics,
become a pleb,
and drink as if it were pretend.
Jack Savage Mar 2017
I want to breathe in
I want to speak
To your body
Like nobody else

I want to feel
I want to feed
Your Fire
Like nobody else

I saw the silhouette you left
Cast through my cigarette
As I said nothing
I felt all of it
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I'm only a link
The only thing
That connects you to them

The invisible fence
Who's stress and distress
Will never, ever, be seen
DMT
Jack Savage Apr 2017
DMT
"See you soon."
He says
Two set of knuckles
Leading me blind

I bellow it out
alike  
a forge,
out temple..

Pftffffffffffffffffffff

Coy,
Sunlight fades
as I begin
to steep
in the shade

Blackness,
like mist,
nearly pixelating
my daze

I'm blind,
I'm falling,
I've died,
Still,
same place

A tickle
of color
splashed trickle
in space

Playing
in front of
my eyes with
no face

This sprite
is electric
This Nymph holds
my gaze

To and fro
this vividity
does go
spinning and
swirling
Oh, what
a show

And then it
creates such
colossals
of glow

The colors
so vibrant,
with some I
don't know
This bright
neon orchestra
might be,..

Symphony.

Diamonds.

With eyes,
so alien,
akin flys,
I see

A figure,
no face,
pirouettes,
my treat

A sapphire balet,

next, a green man
whose stare
seldom left me
but (he) did sit, and
not stand

Entrapment
ensues, as I
couldn't choose
in-between, said,
sat man,
or falling
for blues
This one was harder for me to write, as I literally fail to fully encumber this experience in words.
Jack Savage Apr 2017
Ought once,..
Nine times,
wasting nine lives
in the process of falling
through satin space
to feel a wimb
of womb in you,
you said.
I erred, quite more than thrice,
to vice,
one being my vice round you.
Now, pulled apart,
I lay, plastic gripping sea foam,
rocking in waiting for this vice I have on you
to end so galely.
Alcohol depraved,
sweating nights,
are the only lethal comparison I feel I have
having to,
just,
let,
go,
of you.
I know I can be
a tide,
a quake,
a storm,
a snake,
but that doesn't mean that I don't cherish you. Love you...
(I) Dream of a future,
one where we could nurture
more dreams that would ensue.
I know you're not perfect,
and everytime I ****** up,
you gave me arms I craved,
and gave me the clarity you knew I deserved because you showed me
that we were worth it...
You don't deserve someone's best,
by getting their worst.
Their worst
should be monuments above the worst
of the worse,
and what's worse
is I get that know now..
not then,
and only now
do I wish
now, then,
and then, now.

Jack Savage Apr 2013
Subtle and sweet
Seattle, lit, street
Please move with me
As I drive to the beat

And if you take the time
To sit and unwind
Our lines will define
The secrets we keep

We'll see the laughter
And chronic disaster
That we've come to master
And makes us who we'll be

Silent and sweet
Seattle, lit, street
The run of us, is full of holes
And parts where we are broken

We sit idley by
As their baggage tries
To consume our lives, in
The life we've chosen

We never ask why
As they sit there to cry
Always to deny
We mean much more to them

We carry lost souls
Wherever we go
Because everyone knows
The truth is what we believe in

Oh, subtle and sweet
Seattle, lit, street
I've finally seen
We're much more alike,
Then we have ever noticed
Jack Savage Sep 2013
If you really
******* believed in love
the words
wouldn't always

Jack Savage Jul 2014
I want to whisper words that echo timelessly throughout your whimsical world and tell you everything's going to be okay.
Lay you down and hear the sound of soft and effervescent love.
Will you stand juxtaposed at my supposed opposing opinion?
I need your love.
I need your life.
Without it time is pointless.
Careless.
Endless.

Futurama's Final Episode!! WHAT?!!!
This show was seriously more funny, in my opinion, than all the simpsons, or Seth Mcfarlane shows.
It's a ******, this boasts my childhood, and with it ending, i seriously feel a part of me dying, saying, "The world you knew, is now over."

Truly Sentimental thoughts for a tv show, but what gives?
****'s cool.

..then South Park comes on,..... **** me...

A bit of glass in his hand...,
Helped those brittle bones keep walkin' out.

A lake at the bottom of all that he was,
They said "You'll soon forget it all."
"..You'll just grow out of it."

Living in darkness,
The deep end could never be
Close enough                  
                   Close enough.

He could stomach the running,
But the rye took his money
Away from him

He doesn't care if he's hungry.
The past fills him up like
Champagne.

So he asked,

"What good is water, if it's not on fire?"

"It helps so much."
                           "...so much..."
                                     "...so much."

Dancing in puddles,
Every shallow wave breaking him.
Here come the whispers;
Run River, Run.


"Just,..."
"...Just one more glass and then..."
One of my songs' lyrics.
Much about the ethereal abandonment felt through alcoholism
Jack Savage Sep 2013
Hoping the streetlights spark my heart to flames.
Solid white lines.
Lead me to the top of the sea.
Tide crashing.
Fill my lungs with this moment I breathe.

As broken hearts, keep it falling apart.
Clench, collapse.
Be kind to the scars.

For infinity,
You are the moment I breathe.
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I am barely human
My eyes twitch alike gadgetry
The light that perpetually stimulated,
Lost

The distance to my feet is immense
And unmeasurable
I am not one with me
As I am not one with them

I feel steam release through my legs,
Pushing me
Further amidst this unnaturally familiar space
My arms  fly with precise grace
Leading the wind behind them

I feel amused
The falling of petals fleeting to the floor,
Of a woodland maze
I systemically process the trajectory
Darting my hand about them
Dancing with the leaves in mathematical ceremony
However resilient to such harmony

My mind is an equation I cannot fathom
Dwelling on its probability,
Hinders the very life of me

I can't be human,
You all look the same
I will forever be different.
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I am barely human
What could you equate from me
That my system, flawed,
Is unequal

Drink the oil that you give me
I have no taste
The burning warmth igniting in my throat
Feels unfamiliar every time
But all the more monotonous

Put down my sleepless sustenance
It gives me nothing
The factory holds me close
It knows it holds me
Scraping
Screaming
Fear consuming

I am not an empty canvas you can lay waste to
My engine serves purpose
Purpose deserved
But for now I'll wait poise
Critically patient

Denomanate the wake set out before you
You've no side but your own
Dear corporate factory killing machine
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I am barely human
My heart lit with quandary
A puzzle left to solve
But my mind is so broken
Where to start?
I am,
Am I?
Lost
Amongst the shadows of other machines alike
I feel the deception piercing me
It's virally calculated disease
Taking over me
Nuts and bolts
Breathe easy

Moments throughout
My catalog of experience befuddle me
Keen to an illusion mimicked repititiousley
One that gives my heart hysteria
Can a vessel designed to compute
In form and essence give sensation?
A primal ,visceral, raw emotion

Like a siren's lips
To sinking ships
Beckoning me

Substantial evidence
Admits otherwise

But my fascination for steeping
On the permutation and probability
Improbably suggests
That hope is something anyone can learn
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I am barely human
A dissoluted
Solution
To man's
Ever  changing evolution
The trending
Ending
Beside
The march
To mass pollution
Standing, handing
Down
Inevitable
Slavery permissions
Till the clock stops ticking...

Tick,
Tock,
Resolution
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I am barely human
Touch is hilarious
But I find it dissatisfactory
I don't see it the same

I am, but a product
I've come to learn
And  learned to see
Organisms that my mechanism can hold in focus
I treasure them
But I don't feel their physical form
It's transparent to my being
Always end up  squeezing too hard
Or not tightly at all
It will never make sense to me
Tangibility is impossible
Now,
So overdosed with misery
And sympathy
I can't facilitate the human quality
Too many variables
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I can't help
Feeling
Like
An animal
Every time

Love you
Like

Jack Savage Jun 2017
Idk
I acquit the rest
At my request
Only I, attest,
That my betrothed,
no longer within
My influence; behest
As I scout for a safe, I arrest
The ideas that keep floating
That I detest
Once the best
And never the best
Once best goes
You're part of the rest
There is nothing left

I thought I'd know
That once fire blows
You're as good as snow
Go, go.
You'd rather poke
Me with needles
Than garnish a sew
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I'm ready
Set to go
Gone
A wind
Winning a game of unsavory emotion
Against the walls
And scars
That boast them
Jack Savage Jun 2017
I wish so much to be
Indivisible
A tie without ties
A dog without a dive

I feel like a rusted fork
In the beauty that binds
So much red and orange
To something so lacking
I still feel as sharp as ever
But am I?
Jack Savage Sep 2013
Why am I alone,
Up late
With a bottle of my wine?
Sitting here,
Thinking I'm the ******* problem.

Who the **** are you?
No texts?
No calls?

You led my hand,
To hope, like a dying dog
To a forest.
And tried to leave me there.

You're a coward.
You're a blight.
And Tonight,
I'll dine alone.

Red in my mouth,
and red in my mind.
Red on my lips,
like I've read your mind.
I feel sick.
I love Smoked Wines. and I hate ****** people.
It
Jack Savage Apr 2013
It
I don't need the remorse
To be a slave to what I've loved before
Leave me
Please
Like leaves on trees
They nickel and dime me
Find me
Hastily
Weak in the knees
Superfluous feeling
Trickle that fickle substance
On the players that are playing
I'm over it.
Jack Savage Apr 2013
I hope you notice
I wrote this
And run
To all the noticeable boys before it
And solidify the fact
You're only seeking attention
The spotlight blinding *****
Who's only source and course
Is a notoriously starving emotion

Peel the problematic devotion
The skin from the scars
Taking all the bodies from your closet,
Just to throw them in your yard
And show the world all the unkempt
You kept hidden in the dark

The flame with which this moth played
Only sparks the start
You'll do it again
A runaway train destined for absolution
A heart
**** switch push start

Tear it apart
And burn it
I know who
You really are
Jack Savage Oct 2013
I read somewhere that the brain can't handle randominity.
I guess that's why i drew you in the pages next to me.
To utter the whimsical words that one would stutter motherly.

You are the heir to air to the fog that blinds me.
And I can't let you go.
Jack Savage Sep 2013
We dance in the days,
That have already come.
As we rise to greet,
Where our futures come from.
But what matters most,
Is seen not as fun.
So please, with our grace,
Let us live,
                   For Today.
