Spent
JP Mantler Jul 2014
My hands hit the leaves
As I play airplane to the humming noise
Those invisible cars had run me over
Here I am again
I'm spent

Those invisible cars had run me over
For me to grow so much older
I am the flattened out boulder
I am too much of a widow
To be spent (Oh, Lord!)

If I ever had stood there for too long
Maybe they would have shooed me off
Set out my wings and spin my propellor
Become the pilot of my own choices
The head full of voices . . .

. . . And I'm spent
Freedom

Welder's Flash
JP Mantler Nov 2017
I'm always good, I have to be
People don't care,
Otherwise

But whatever, the corneal pain will speak on behalf
I know life's a *****, but there's always help
The best remedy comes from Maryland
And it's a big, tall glass of beer
Yet I settle for wet potato skins on my eyelids
Because drinking brings out the monster in me
That's when people care

But yeah, I've woken up with sand in my eyes
There's always a first, and you're new so you'll be next
I'll be running at you with a blowtorch
Just waiting to make contact

Note To Girl
JP Mantler Aug 2015
Can you cure yourself of being a *****?
May I **** you if you cannot be cured?
Your boy is a starving pilot
Who strives for another let down
Will you bring him down again?
Will you bring your brother back?

Guess Who I Am
JP Mantler Feb 2018
Guess I gotta find out who I want to be
But you know it’s a lie when they say you’ll know what to do
At the age of twenty three
In the next twenty years I’ll just be another John to the corporate ******
Hell, I’m already am, but just still half-awake
Dependant on the food and drugs, and the Ministry’s shortcake
Find out who I gotta be before I’m dragged down the Gov't pie-hole
Guess who I am right now, just a sad and confused *******

Bounded by all of whom guide me
Guess who I am guess who I am
Bounded by all of whom guide me
Guess who I am guess who I am
Bounded by love and its bounty
Guess whom they are

Today’s the day, today’s the day, I call in sick
Give myself a warm bath and play with my ****
It’s called “stimulating”, to those who don’t know or don’t feel
Give myself another twenty years, and I’ll have nothing to play with
But bare with me, there’s still time, there’s still a chance; some kind of retribution
I grab my Phillips, and shave her down to the woods, an open landscape
I’m an open book now, and I’m singing to myself as I go against the grain,
I punch in the info, stroke my finger down the list, ask who's to blame
Eureka

Bounded by all of whom guide me
Guess who I am guess who I am
Bounded by all of whom guide me
Guess who I am guess who I am
Bounded by love and its bounty
Guess whom they are

Today’s the day, and so I grab my pliers and duct tape
My hunting knife, my hunting bow, my hunting clothes
Dressed for the ****, but smiling like the loonies who broke into the Whitehouse
Today’s the day, a redemption song, I found me a ****** to lynch
And I found me a ****** to shoot, as I say goodbye cruel world
Hallelujah, God bless my sick little show
Caught me a tiger by the toe
And if he hollers, I’ll let him croak
Onto the next one, I’ll make him choke

This is who I am

Shrine of Madness
JP Mantler Nov 2014
There is a string of hair dancing on soap
And the warm shower sedates my hope
I'm about to fall asleep on the mashed potatoes
I'm seeing old faces that I miss so much

There is tiredness groping my scalp
Driving faster is my only help
I'm seeing oncoming traffic
And they wave me into the two bright beams
They try to make me smile
I scoff, I scurry, I hurry
Into the merging lane
I'm back again
I eat different ice creams
It's an ice cream dream
And I can't find a better place to go
He can't determine the volume
It fluctuates;  and so does he
He is a ****

I can't seem to differ my introspection
Between her and I
What is to weep when she can cry
My eyes are dry, the air is dry
I can't seem to stop instigating
Her lovely, confused mind
I can't seem to stop wanting
To **** his good and graceful shrine
JP Mantler May 2016
Down-beat and shallow
Wedged into my coffin
With very little air to breath
With nothing very much to see
I'll be sick if I don't do something
Without a care in the world
The feeling must be cruel
I want you to be okay

**And I think you will with what you got fixed
And I think I won't with what I've got set
I drown in the shallow end and nobody blows the whistle
With enough chlorine I'm bound to disappear
JP Mantler Oct 2017
I feel my fly getting heavy
And I see my left wing is getting weak
The thought police are mailing out words
That don't seem to speak

With tongue and cheek,
The western dawn of the beating sun
Makes me think of the next beginning
Anew, but this dawn I'll hide or run

Cancer resembles my invalid comrades
The answer is the word of the thought police
And so, another day I am told what to say
But I will still be put down for my legislative blankness;
A blanket of warmth; the success of my true human self

And that is why I have beaten all of you

I am impure and illogical, with both of my wings suspended
They will never be mended, and so I will be remembered
As a ***** speck in the cosmic disaster
JP Mantler Jan 2016
I saw the difference right there
One look and I'm talking to myself
So I ran home away from you

Sedated under condition
Once so loving and free
But then I spoiled it
So I ran home away from you too

Found a match
Caused a spark
Never heard from again
So I ran home away from that as well

I don't know you but I'm scared you'll bite my neck
So I'm just gonna stay right here at home
While the rest of you go to sleep in your pall

Ringing Ears
JP Mantler May 2016
Ringing ears & bathroom tears
Stains on my red dress again
He calls me a frock. No shock.
And he calls me a basket case

Cringing curves of my fragile nerve
When spit string is coming off you
The feelings go away when you stop
You stop running to them and you're fine

You're with me again and I'll hold you
And unto my pretty desperate web,
The urge is always throbbing I can see
But it's a problem to you but not to me

You don't care about them as much
You've stopped running to them and you're fine.

New Footstool
JP Mantler Feb 2016
She reaches out
You pull back
With open arms
You curl into a ball
She tries to embrace
You roll over her back
She stands still
Waiting to weep

Your the new puppy dog that wants to be loved
She's the old footstool that has your love

You watch it happen all in front of them
You see your older self but he knows you more
You struggle to realize, but you tell the footstool she did a good job

Waterfall
JP Mantler Nov 2016
I shut my eyes, I no longer see red
I am still unrested, I need you dead

You're the bad apple of my life
Just in time to see you choke on your misery
The waterfall sends you downwards
We are happy now, to see you dead
We sleep soundly with the gun under our bed
I dream so heavily to shoot you six times
You're a worthless *******; you're nickels and dimes
My heart is relieved, she says it's all fine


But then I wake up, we both see just red
She cries in pain, while I wish you dead

Plans

You've made God laugh
You told him your plans
You're hoaxing yourself, dear boy
It's a fraud and a half
You've made God laugh
You have no fixed plans
You have things to take
They make you think they work
You've made the big man laugh
You're playing a simple part
You've put on the gaffe
You had told Him it was art
He was kind to tell you
That not all of it works out
He knows you're a fraud and a half
He's had a good laugh

Conrad
JP Mantler Oct 2015
Everyone notices how you've grown your hair
And you think you're hanging them up
But you're turning them down

No one listens to you
So you have to yell
And so you dwell

You can't seem to get out of bed
So you cry for him in your sleep
He's still in your head
Like the electric current
They had treated you  

You think asleep of tranquilizer
You decline your mother's breakfast
You turn everyone down
You can't seem to rest
You can't seem to rest

Stray dog bites the fleas & barks at the buzzard voice with no decision but to wait for the next gesture. Jester can't see why he's lost the leash but the owner is found better now -- much more tamed for an eternal suffering; it's no longer a frothing mouth full of the doomsday within. Barks at the bees, and they shine their stingers; they are karmic bullets of love from a sensitive ghost with no reserve. reserve. He is not there. you put him under the sink , in the disinfectant bucket; you can't cure his rocket fuel habits, but you can pretend he isn't there.

The tick behind your ear isn't going to bring you happiness.

Trapped in this icy white box
Through a small opening
I see rabbits and seagulls

The car pushes my dead weight
I hide; I'm twitching and all
With very little nerve

The temporary shoulder to cry on
The loving attention and support
A temporary happiness
Willing to extort
He's crazy about you
And it's only been a week
"I'd do anything for this girl"
So redundant, so ******* bleak
"I'm in love with her!" he shouts
And it's only been a week or so
He'll carry on the big burden
But does the love really show?
Drunken drama queen
My life's bags are still on scene
They're hiding away in your closet
They're staying there like the leaky faucet
Don't burn the bridge, my love
Don't let it burn
Come back at some point in time
Don't let it burn
Is this our temporary relief ?

Acceptance
JP Mantler Aug 2015
Acceptance is not a word to me
It's only a flashback to my greatest fear
Careless open breeze thrown away out the window
I suffer why I suffer I have no clue how badly she does
I pant and wag when she unlocks the cage
She wails and whimpers even when I'm put back
Repentance is a word I never a leave alone
She wails and whimpers I spill the facts
Her smile flickers when I ask her to love me
The fog follows deeply hugging me with fear
She hugs me so deeply like its one last big fuss
I've been tried to put to sleep but I seem to like the cage

The cold *** of coffee is still full from this morning

Monologue
JP Mantler Nov 2015
I should have paid more attention to you. I'm just a stupid slob. And though you look good, I tell you they look good. You got new glasses. So I just now realized that I've told the bunch from the two, many times in the past: between "you look good" and "they look good." What good is it that I will make any difference now by saying: "You look good."  I ****** it all up. I was deviant with you and I was careless when it came to present love. And I was bashful from that. I'm waiting for your answer about how you've been. Waiting on that just makes it sour. I'm waiting on you waking up beside me the next morning, squirming around, stretching out your tiredness, smiling and eyes closed. And me not ever wanting to leave the bed.

Sympatico
JP Mantler Jan 2015
We are searching on a cloud
You and I

You and I
We see little ants in a big crowd

We will ponder above them,
While they try to be found

You and I,

We talk about our friend who isn't with with us
Who thinks of his friend
Who is not with us

We'll cherish the artificial heat for that man
Embellish his soul which aspires to smile

For he is not a man
But a child with a yearning past
A useless smile

His kaleidoscope jazz
The enigmatic trance
Of illusion, he dances

Be stirred, for he is a sensitive boy
He is shaken, and don't be mistaken
We love him to death

And comedically dark chaos is, oh such fun

Take turns on this cloud
And let us be taken
Half humble
Half free

We are the cream of the dark sky
And the sailors delight in the red, fumed night

Don't be so analytical

And rest your eyes darling

And you will still be awaken

When your head touches the pillow

We will still be awake in the cloud

Having *** in our cloud

Life of a Nobody
JP Mantler Nov 2016
A beautiful winding road when courage races down,
they meet face to face, a steering wheel in the mouth
and pieces of metal tear the eyes.
They wave at each other. I'm the one that looks the other way.
I make sure this isn't smoke in my eyes.
\\\\\\\\\\\\
MY WIFE KICKS ME IN THE SHINS BECAUSE i'M TOO NICE & I'M TOO DISHONEST
\\\\\\\\\\\\
When I pass Hopkins Steel, the boisterous starlets covered by make-up gowns see beyond the factory smoke.
I just need to take another Xan to help myself forget about how much I want to puke.
\\\\\\\\\\\\
I come to a stop. This time I smell smoke which resembles the humble.
I peek through the window and I see them on fire.
Stillness. Until they all crumble to the ground.
They werenever worried about their features; their possessions or their impressions because they didn't have any.
\\\\\\\\\\\\
The contorted fan swung with his limbs rigid and stiff; directing a lost signal. Set like a stone for me to run from.
A hand come out from the smoke and twists my arm.
The look of his charred face forces my ***** a gooey black tar of resentment.
\\\\\\\\\\\\
I'm now waiting tables. I think of my wife sleeping with her boss.
I think of her nagging at me whenever she hears me breath.
If Karma doesn't exist, then maybe I should just thrw her under a BUS.
She fell! She wasn't pushed . . .
\\\
An arrogant customer persists insults.
He demand for coffee. His previous did not taste of his brand.
"Your face is one hot coal waiting to get ****** on."
I come back with the coffee; tainted with my own ***** matter.
"You might as well quit now you ******* low life."
I throw the coffee in his face, stannds up and screams.
His entire face is scolding, he smells like **** and is crying like a *******
BABY.
\\\\\\\\\\\\
I'm sitting on the bedside, contemplating.
There's blended merlot & Sonata with cherry ice cubes.
ynoT, I've filled my sock with aerosol.
Might as well join the Rugby Boys.
It's the kindest geture I've done to myself.

Framed
JP Mantler Jan 2017
We were walking around at night. We came across these apartment buildings. We broke into one of the ground floor tenants. This guy and girl broke in from an outside patio; a real nice metallic fence on the patio with intricate shape patterns. So I wait around the building and then I hear banging from the window. It sounded dreadful. I ran away, scared. They're probably dead because the banging was so forceful and frantic and urgent. I run back to my own apartment. I live on the highest floor. I take the elevator, and as I get out I walk past K. He says "Hi" to me. He goes into the elevator I was just in. He leaves. Something is not right. I walk into my room to find clothes lying on my bed. These were the clothes of my friends. I now see the flashing blue and red lights outside. The police cars are outside. They have surrounded me. My friends have been ***** and murdered. I see a black car pulling out of the parking lot. K is driving off into the distance.

I should never trust K.

A Deeper, Darker Thirst
JP Mantler Nov 2017
Like something of an animal,
There's hunger, there's thirst
It's within all of us
But a deeper, darker thing boils in our midst
It's what we fear, it's what makes us of not an animal
But a spirit with pale flesh and weary eyes

It's Our end that fuels the creatures, the monsters, the madness

They slide on their bellies
They shoot acid from their mouths
They carve our heads like pumpkins
They drink pure blood from the good

It's their deepest, darkest thirst that must be quenched
There is now only evil, and
Our survival

Post-excitement day, I'm overjoyed because
I'm glad to see you stuck in your head
There was no real day when we died, only the realization after

The sun only feels good when it beats you down
I can't beat it right now but one day it's coming
My acting without thinking gets everyone riled up,
even when I shut up

I'm the jestor who stole the crown
The cellar king is mad and he's coming down
He points his finger at my sorry ***,
and I wag my tail fast

I may be burning but really I'm just getting by
With the stupidity and charm no intellect can find
My good intentions seem to be at fault,
so really I **** the lot off with my exhalt

I don't do much really but lick the asphalt
Like a lazy tootsie roll sticking to the hot ground
As I lay, an emotional rattle comes from some vent / vault,
so I kick the air all around

I have it so good and easy
So maybe I'll let the sun beat me down soon
And then it won't be so lemon-squeezy
To those who have it worse than others.

And spit on your face with the tears you fabricate

But I really do know who you are and what you are
T'is the ***** trickster who is ugly inside and out
Takes control with eye-bats and baby pouts

But not me because can I clearly see
Thanks to my guardian angel

May we never cross paths again
May you waste in your scabie-syphillic ruins

You are free once you are stripped of your privilges. You can see after your time in the darkness. With a piece of mind you can still find the time to enjoy the heavy rain on flat ground. See the aged and delicate swim with their pink umbrella. See how the dog is still tied firmly to his leash. But not held captive to the things you mistake as luxury. The sonic boom will wake you from misery. The company owns both friends and foes and all that stand in between so meaningless and futile. Sharp smiles, the dollar rises. But murky bodies forgotten, float down the Nile.

I've been walking past the same dinosaur ******* a dozen times and it doesn't bother me. What bothers me though, is the threatening message that is faded and smudged out in the bathroom's handicapped stall. I can barely read it saying "Carl something, I will find where you live something something. Above the message reads a cryptic proposition: 416-818-9120 Jay. What kinda sick fun could the number propose.

As I walk out I see the extinctee's gaping cavity release nutrients for the thirteenth time. I feel like someone important in some kind of cerebral movie; especially the fact that I've found a newly discovered purpose in my life. As well the clothes they have given me add a prominence of flare and swagger. My friend catches up to me asking about something, I don't really hear him. I find a pay phone and punch in the digits. The phone rings but no answer. Disappointed, I walk away, but the phone then rings. I pick it up and hear only heavy breathing. I don't know what to say. I say nothing.

He then says: "This is Jay."

He spares me the details and he or she tells me to meet him at the Slovenian BLED HALL.

"What's there?"

Click . . . I ruffage through my bag for a change of clothes, I don't know why -- a muscle shirt and sweat pants with lobsters and oranges on them. I leave the duffle bag. My friend and I jump in the car and pin it.

On arrival, I see a dirt path that leads us to a white church in  the middle of a stray field. The paint is chipped off from harsh weather, windows are smashed, and brown is smeared on the front porch.

"Maybe we shouldn't do this" my friend says.

I ignore him. I walk up the sticky steps and open the creaky entrance door. The room is filled entirely with candles, ceremonial red paint cover the walls, and my friend has only a bad feeling about all of this. He wants to leave.

"You shall not leave" the voice of Jay echoes.

"Who is that?"

"I summoned you. You shall not ask any questions, and you shall not leave. You with the pants. I want you to undress your friend."

My heart sinks. I have no choice. I feel a dozen other men staring at me behind the darkness, their daggers pointing rock hard at me. I feel like I'm in a gay ***** film now. My friend starts to sob as I undress him. Shut up, you'll be fine. He is shaking, his mind in shock. The cauldron bubbles at the end of the room. I know what must be done.

We both stare down at the scolding hot ***. He's literally begging me to change his mind and it really gets on my nerves. I throw him in head first. His scrawny legs dangle upwards. He pops out, holding his burning face, his guttural screams echoe the chamber. One of the men hands me their dagger. With one swift and easy motion, I slit his throat. His body descends, his life no longer a struggle, he is now simply being cooked. I hope these guys don't try to **** me.

And I feel nothing
But the moving strobes dash below my feet
and the Northern breeze almost pushes me off

So I'm sure no one will stop to save me

Maybe an eagle will pick me up by the shoulders
and bring me to her nest

And raise me into the bolder, stronger being I never was

The impulse: jump jump jump

fall            
fall        
fall

I should have stayed home and had dinner with my family,
not lie about my visit to the bank. The bank's not even open

They always say you regret the second you jump. They were right.

SILVER AND GOLD
JP Mantler Aug 2016
Silver and gold
To save our souls
To save us from the debt
To save us from their pain-staking agenda

Silver and gold
I don't want it anymore
Faces on the coin I resent
All their pride lost in the national anthem

Conniving tella-tubby ****-head cuntbrain
Stupid fat cuntbrain who bleeds out seminal lies,
I'll bleed you, a new **** in your brain
My knife in your ******* head

Anxious Bog
JP Mantler Jun 2017
I'm called crazy but I just sit back and watch the act
The shot to the mouth is the sign of a hostile compromise
A sick twisted envy broadcasts deception into the pit of my stomach
It boils with hot gastric sincerity
A slow linger of anxious bog settled with indecency
The attention craving singulars throw me into the fiery pit
Almost composed, I dread my held patience with a static vein stemming out of my lobe
Unwanted friends stir me into ambivalence
The devil tells me to ridicule their faults and flaws, alike my fully functional conscience
It's hard to see my bigger person but he's there with his list, shaking his head and telling me I am right
Brimming with rage I am told to reveal their ugliness; strip them down to their flesh and bones with a wax Carver and humiliate the vulnerable ego, which coexists in every living, breathing and selfish waste
To ask how it feels​ now is an enduring moment for them and their self-interested pursuits
They are now feeling from me and not from themselves
They are drawn into a self pity I had handed to them; treated as a raw strange delicacy
The ******* can all shrivel into their newly pivotal grave
My one and only lesson I favour to give to those shrivelled, now-benign *******; to them a ****** so unfaithful and sacraliged​, it is the most unbearably important stake in the heart that they have learned

Cuntry Music Sounds Hurt!
JP Mantler Mar 2018
When I had fallen off the horse,
I could say it was a blur, a blur of a thousand drinks
A blur of two lost lovers holding hands,
LOst my beer in the sand,
She lost her man

Cause I'm a drunk,
and nowadays country music sounds so hurt!
it seems as though
it seems as though
it seems as though
The horse kicked me good

Drunken flashback to the summercamp,
We're talking and laughing under the sun
You smile at me, it's just like country!

Cause I'm a drunk,
and nowadays country music sounds so hurt!
it seems as though
it seems as though
it seems as though
The horse kicked me good

Fast forward to me being a drunk,
I only hear rap-country on my *** walkman cassette
Where is the country and where is my beer, it's all messed up
I can say I've missed the Country Western Days,
I can say I've missed it
my ****** lyrics for a ****** ******* genre.

Waking Up in a Car
JP Mantler Sep 2015
The touch of cold metal, and I fall into a careless trip
It's not the people that scare me,
It's not the noise, it's my own being and it's my choice
I don't know why but the dark, cloudy place soothes me
Her voice soothes me

The touch of nothing soothes my being
My only being seeping into nothing

Hollywoodland
JP Mantler Nov 2017
the victims come forth, the victims stand down; the innocence shamed and shunned, and the rapists come out from the shadows with some who still linger behind in their menacing twilight.
the actions are irreversible; so the complaints do nothing, and the consequences are a careless wave of a hand

The place of dreams and destruction; of the glamour and grotesque
Hollywoodland is a deep, dark secret in disguise

I walk in a Government-official building, I know that there are Free Masons scheming below the ground floors, and pulling the strings from above, watching us below

Monsters with masks at rich celebrity house parties behaving the way a mentally balanced society would deem atrocious. Let's wait and see who else is going to come out from the shadows.

New in blue ~ ~
JP Mantler Feb 2015
Alone, you're waiting in the screen of blue
Waiting for something to happen
You yearn for something new

In the screen of blue
Something might happen

You may be there at the right moment
From blue, it is turned to red
Your feelings may dread

You may not want to be read
But that's all okay

Because in the screen of blue
Something might happen

A waste
JP Mantler Oct 2017
I've become a waste of time
He's got his gun,
ready to win but
life takes his chance

Beautiful, but I don't know
And you intrigue everyday
But still, you keep quiet
Tame, I must become,
'for I'm spared again

Next time it won't be so easy,
And I'll be W.A.S.T.E.D.

Away, into your black hole
below your dark trenches
& under your creaky bed.

Green Tunnels
JP Mantler Sep 2017
Bats fly quietly past my head
There's a commotion idly playing in the far distance
Under my moving bed

Two green tunnels open wide
My hands shift, separate and attach elsewhere
As I spiral down the ride

A soft coating of relief
I swell in and out of both hell and limbo
A razor blade motion to the throat

I give to my own reflection
A red smiling geyser with pin-sized eyes
Blue dread with little hope that sinks low

**The days get further as I swallow nothing
but lumps of dry, flakey air

win(ce)
JP Mantler Sep 2017
My crystal ball of burden connects with the ecliptical space rod
igniting the spirit within, and I breathe tiny specks of sparkling dust, I wince and I get better, a battle I did not win.

— The End —
