at the core of my being is a beast
so selfish
it is unspeakable
yet so human
it goes without words


*oh to be loved.

imagine a single knot.
every direction you move, with each shift, you feel the pull.  
sometimes sharp direct
sometimes a dull slow ache
it travels, coursing pain through your entire body
sensory overloaded brain
can' escape the pain
when will it stop.
cease fire

wake up, get out of bed
***. wash your hands. not clean enough, wash again.  Use two pumps of soap. didn't get sudsy enough, wash again.
do your stretches, **** stop. do them in the right order. for the correct amount of time. **** stop.  you have to start all over again.  
take your vitamins.  don't forget any, it will be treacherous.
drink a tall glass of water. finish the entire thing. maybe just one more glass to ensure your health.  something bad could happen if you don't finish that water..
Go for a run. Good, this is helpful, calms the tendencies.  Exhaustion of the body gives you clarity of mind to fight it today.
Done running, stretch.  Gotta count correctly, stretch the right way. **** stop.  Start again, didn't do it right, missed a step, missed a count.  Stretch again from the top.
Inside, wash up. wash once more to be sure. Scrub harder, bleed.
drink another glass of water.
Begin preparing a breakfast.  Don't eat too much.  Don't eat too much.  Don't eat too much.

And it's only 10am.
exhaustion.

I waited and heard clay feet go
And in my mouth fear and trust
Is that man proud to lie?
My wonderful thoughts
if I would speak them, they are desire.
burnt and required.
I come written.
Delight within my heart.
My lips have hid.
Within my heart, I have concealed truth.
Tender truth
preserve me.
head. heart. soul. Seek
love (art).

blessed is the ungodly
in the seat of the scornful
delight in day and night
and by the water
Prosper
like the wind
Stand
'fore the way
Perish
Section of an Earlier Blackout Poem I created.  Thinking of combining both sections.

sometimes the last line appears first.
organization is fictional anyway.

what does it look like when your heart explodes?
does it paint the town red?

this is our adventure.
our bodies- untamed wildernesses.
for only the most fearless explorers.

come come now,  get to know me.

just follow these ole laughter lines.

the space between your big toe and your other toes
perfectly compliments
the space between your two front teeth.
i never associated chest hair
with sexiness
until now
i'd spend the morning with my index and ******* between your *******, gently following that glorious line of hair
covering your sternum.
i'd spend the day tenderly kissing each of your toes, one by one.
don't panic.
and the night lost in the stars on your left shoulder
methodically grouping them into
sets of three
til my heartbeat slows
and our breath is left
