Mesmerize
JMac Jul 2013
Mesmerize me
With your pelican eyes.

Isn't that funny?
I thought you might laugh.

Oh me?  Not much.
Just everything, you know.

Lots of stuff going on.

What you see
Is what you get
My pet, my pet

See me now
See you later
Beware, beware

What comes of this?
It couldn't be
It is.  It is.

You didn't see me
But I'm here
Ignore.  Ignore.

Really?  How?
Easy!
You know!

Wow.  Amazing.
It is.
It's here.

Stardust
JMac Dec 2012
The beast that is the internet, stole my heart, leaving me alone on the beach under some distant moon.  Kindly, I gathered flowers for a loved one now forgotten, feigning all hope, desperate for a life of my own.

Sadly, I wait beneath the tall trees, under the starlight, underneath crystal sparkling skies of random, far beneath the trees of other branches in far off galaxies, aliens, pathways, lives and deaths away.

Galloping beyond the sun I set my sites on the horizon, only to find the horizon was a vague distant memory, in some intoxicated conscious ****** that was and is my present recollection blunder.  Interestingly, I cope with the pain in my chest by placing my hand upon it, wishing that the gods I have abandoned would once again save me from disaster.

I don’t bother yelling because it’s no use, what will it attract except coyetes and wolves, except dreams and psychosis of which will only cure me of my present insanity.  Starlight twists on my back in a way that is effervescent, ******* the hidden identity from beyond my soul.

Arguably, disaster awaits, but so too fate, and into the darkness I ride, leaving behind wanton and dust.

Dear Sir, or Madam,

We turn, and we toil, and for what, a dream?
Who said that this is the way that it should be?
Who taught you what you know, He?
Who is He?  You?  Me?

I thought you knew everything.
I thought that you did.
But what did you know?
How to steal.

I thought I knew better.
I really did.
But I didn't.
And now here we are.

You should not be there.
But you are.
And I hate you for it.
Every day.

I can't stand your teeth.
Your eyes.
Your ugly.
I despise you.

Why did you **** me?
Was I worth it?
You took all that I had.
And you ******* burned it.

I no longer care for you.
I want you to die a miserable death.
You disowned me, abandoned me.
Wasted my talents.

Now it is time for my payback.
And it might be slowly.
But if you vanish,
I will find you.

Don't think you'll escape.
Don't think I will forget.
Forgive, in a minute.
I have to do something first.

What you did was ***** me.
You know it.
And multiply me.
By 150 million.  At least.

You should not be forgiven.
You should be taken out back.
Shot.
And forgotten.

But the biggest problems are two.
You are not one.
And you are not you.
So you didn't forget.

I want to find all of you then.
Round you up like cattle.
Call Temple Grandin.
And make her earn her commission.

I can't even eat any more.
I can barely live.
Once thought impossible.
I might be outside.

What did I do to deserve this?
This miserable life.
Did I **** somebody?  Did I shoot them?
What did you do?

Looking at jobs ads.
I see one that catches my eye.
Cafeteria worker, ok, maybe?
3 years of experience required.

Not a black problem.
Not a white problem.
Just a black-and-white problem.
I am right, you are wrong, yet you live.

I pray I'll get mine.
Even if it means I have to pray.
Because I deserve more than this.
Scratch the first item, Shakespeare, and put in bankers.

Banks destroyed this country, with their arrogance.
They believe more money attracts more brilliance.
But does it?  Seems a self-proving system.
One to enhance those who make more money, even illegally.

I'll be back in a minute.
Not really.
I have to move.
I might not even be able to make that work.

I'm not even going to spell-check this poem.
**** pentameter, rhyme.
You need a message.
In stereo sound.

Oh, do you not know what this is?
Oh, do you?
That's like the dumbest thing I know.
And so are you.

You ****** me and you didn't even enjoy it.
And I despise you mainly because you're so dumb.
A guilty plea by you, a lie, almost.
So redemption by me would look like what?

I can't hit you, punish you.
For what, in this righteous universe?
A calculated mis-step.
By a cog in an unforgiving mashing machine?

Forgiveness is inevitable.
Someday the channel will be lost.
But as I said, I have to move.
To a place with more frost.

And oh how beautiful it will be.
When that one day, I look off in to the distance.
And see a setting sun, over serenity.
And all of my dreams coming true.

But I needed that cafeteria position, well no, I mean that I really do.
But you wanted 3 years experience, 3 years.
I can give you zero with a serious but.
A delinquent but, a candid one.

Ever, Truly, Yours,

The Candidate

When we're drunk

When we're drunk
We're crunk, we're crunk
We think what we
Normally thunk
We sink when we normally
Sunk
When we're drunk
We're crunk, we're crunk
Don't obey
Rules of the road
Head home, old toad
Splat pavement, release vibes
Sentence to years
Steer with queers
Aim with binoculars
Sinister ears
Figure it's time
Never you mind
We'll eventually rhyme
That which you dine
Don't forget
It's all regret
Take advantage
Before yet
Take it home
Alone
Beast, Seize!
Sniff, Sneeze!
Don't queeze
Just please
Soft tease
Ease fees
Simple trees
Free frees
Cold winds
Blow fins
Towards Marylands
Trickle In
Calm fore
Better store
Ancient ore
Often sore
When we're drunk
Never more
Hangover
Blow chunks

Montage
JMac Jan 2013
I was raised on a montage
Standing with roses on top of a grave
Sentimental afterfacts that neither care to give
Discipline that neither can ignore
Cyanide adorned curtain cats

Pictured in red and iridescent
Topped with normal cleansers and beauties
Saught all in fall and in the summer
The winter and the spring

Easter Egg knocks between broken wings
Philisophical differences on just cause
Topped with Red

Dynamite in far away caves
Fortune’s mistreatment

Piece of pie

Heat and thunder
Rolling pin

Blood on lips

Blow torch

No quit

Feels great

Spring Quadrocopter
JMac May 2013
Ponds anew with animals
Fine young cannibals
Forest trees blossom open
Spies await behind every curtain

Display of affectation
Serenaded by dancing starlings
Capped vertical postings
Downed power outages

Falsehoods weep tonight
With triangular reasoning:
Past, Present, Future.  Vertigo.
THE QUADROCOPTERS ARE COMING!

The New Revolution Baby
JMac Jan 2013
i never knew
how you could do
everything that you knew
changing from black and blue
to eight-track and debbie sue
i hear you calling
never knew your name
figure you're eight or seven
and that's my kind of game.

picked you up and dusted you off
never really cared
to me it was just irrelevant
to you it wasn't there
i told myself not to be the one
you said you thought you knew
oh what ever happened
to that little boy, debbie sue?

one chance we might encounter
one day we might meet again
oh but how would that be
if were weren't more than friends
so i beg you reconsider
turn your back against your will
and follow me to the doorstep
take the other pill.

Swimming Backwards
JMac Mar 2013
Moon over the ocean
Snow coming down
Winter on the water
I close my eyes.

We touched
My head spinning
Must have been a dream
Snow fog.

Your eyes are like pearls
Falling, cascading flakes
Underneath galaxies
Heaven's gates.

Electric air
Children play on the beach
Teach me to scream
Clear as glass, the water.

The sharks surround us
Meat market
Shooting star overhead
Make a wish.

This Land
JMac Dec 2012
Now I sit here, fully depleted.
God rest my heart
Until it is seated.
Finish mine effort
Save your rockets
This is the age of last resort
I sit under a dead moon.

I fathered 3 young children,
Never knew ‘em.
Time tested, now
I’m out.
Triumphs, bargaining.
Quiet turbines churn today.
What soul, this land?

Aptitude
JMac Mar 2013
For I want what others have,
And will give my all to **** it.

I seek to you, to penetrate your eyes,
So you can fill them brightly.

Yellow, blue, red, green,
It all must have to it something mean.

Give yourself, lose yourself,
Follow yourself to doom.

If you knew what you could do,
You could bespell the room.

Invisible People
JMac Jan 2013
Forgotten souls
Lost before it was over
Sat on a meadow's hill
Taught by time.

Heads and hearts are seldom there
Taken aback by a surface
Free from shackles
Nighttime gives us that impression.

Honest in endevours
Genuine in heart.
How tuesday became thursday.
Was meant from the start.

Forcing efforts into front heroes.
Fears are not quenched.
Demeaning, aggravates.
Tears pristine.

Autumn
JMac Dec 2012
Children play and they believe this is the way it’s supposed to be.  The green leaves now brown, autumn air all around.

Tiny bugs in the trees make noises in the day, when in the summer they were loud only as you lay.
Cars **** past the damp road, on their way to God-knows-where, bringing tidings of whatever’s in their passenger chair.

Final thoughts like explosions rock through all of our heads, leaving all of us alive and all of us for dead.

Odd Reunion
JMac Jun 2013
They were ghosts
In the night
When all was right
Now they roast
An anomaly
That they'll never see

They saw the light
As it were
On top of the mountain
Now they're down
For the count
And bothered

Before it was cruel
To have them come
Because they had been here so long
Now they're here again
And all of them different
And one of them gone

Dead Web Page
JMac Dec 2012
It once was ounce of freedom on your back
Tacked to the vagaries of a rainbow wall
Filtered the memories until lights went out
Notable explosions and forgiveness for stall.

Tried out memories until nothing worked
Hiding of labels and added some humor
Designated righteous and honor bound
Updated the events or whichever was sooner.

Still photographs move like endless scroll
Some lifetime subscription that we forgot
Updated as soon as we retrieved the code
Fortunately, it was not all for naught.

Brooha
JMac Mar 2013
Even as  I write this, I think of you.
Standing beside me.
Kneeling beside me.
But you're gone.

From where did we part?
From when?
I see you across the room.
It isn't you.

Soldiers carry on.
You didn't say.
We're not together.
No way.

Then one day we are holding hands.
It's a private moment.
For no one else.
Ever.

Locked in a tandem.
Reversed.  Eliminated.
Reversed.

Pop marks
JMac Apr 2013
Sits glass as the foggy window
Little between he and the outside
Around the world he’s traveled
Now he’s back again briefly

The parties are all searching for
The life he lives inside the glass
He knows not why he runs away
But feeds the beasts he keeps at bay

The solitude is deafening beyond
The structures where he sits
And might one day figure out
Pop marks can be left for zits

We Are All The Best
JMac Mar 2013
We are all the best,
So we've been told.
No one is better,
Not him, not her.

Yet a light shines,
On a doorstep.
I am locked outside,
In the cold.

We are together,
In holiness.
I get mine,
You get yours.

Yet I don't have mine,
Someone else does.
We are all social,
So be it.

Our social created,
By an anti-socialite.
Obey, we command ourselves,
Yet we follow lemmings.

Unfinished Poe
JMac Dec 2012
Knocks that came
Early in the late
Midnight Morning

My thirst leads me
Walking. Streetlights
Glowing, stores are dark.

In front of
Me a couple
Walks nervously

I give them
No reason
To Fear

Behind me walks
An invisible man
Always talking.

Old Always Existed
JMac Aug 2013
Old always existed and you thought that it was new but in reality it's just that you
Thought that your feeble brain could do what it couldn't do
You're better off tying your shoe you know it's true

Don't be surprised if what you hear seems so amazing
Because that's the way it's supposed to be
And if it wasn't you wouldn't be reading about it at all
And your interest would stall these tales are tall

You gotta know it's better than you
You gotta know it's older than a few
You gotta know it's better than you
You gotta know it's older than a few

I'll see you on the other side and so will she
But in the meant time don't forget that 1+1+1+1 is sometimes three
Bet you didn't see

You gotta know it's better than you
You gotta know it's older than a few
You gotta know it's better than you
You gotta know it's older than a few

Into The Night
JMac Aug 2013
Man puts on costume
Wants to have fun;
Man wanders into forest
Not for long.

Walked to his neighbor's
Thought it would be fun;
Man appears threatening
Gets shot in the lung.

Old man just wanted
To be more free;
Nobody tells him
Who he shouldn't be.

Not too long ago,
He was so much more;
He was drunk, again
And looking for more.

But before he was gone
He saw freedom's light;
And travelled along
Into the night.

Hole Thoughts
JMac Mar 2013
That which we are
We believe to be
Only in our head we say
Maybe a little more we'll think
But when we're challenged
Then we realize we're so much bigger
When the pain hits us
What happens in a hopeless situation?
When there's no more time
It seems every move is the wrong move
Even though words still rhyme
We'd sweat if we could
We don't feel like crying
We can't do nothin'
Even if we tried
My thoughts are sporatic
But my resolution is whole
I've got what it takes
To shoot in the hole

Last Words
JMac Dec 2012
Have you
Thought about
What your last
Words would be?

If
You
Had
A
Choice
To
Begin
With

Would you choose
To have last words at all?
What if you misspoke?
What if they misheard?

Is
That
Grounds
For
Haunting?

I don’t know what
My words would be
Or what they will be.
Maybe this?
Maybe not?

Should
It
Be
A
Lie?
Truth?

Perhaps I
Should
Consult a
Last words specialist
Perhaps it should be nothing.


Or perhaps it should be
The irony that draws a feeble mind
Escapes the claws of misfortune
To see the mist of breath
To join the ancient death.

— The End —
