I Want To Be:
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Under the Sun,

an open nerve.


and


Under the Moon,

a riotous orchestra.

The Kneel and Learn
Keith Ren Aug 2010
In tedium bindings,
And air so confining,
I'm glad for the collar you gave.

A sheetrock, a permit,
A dark-haloed hermit.
I thought I played well as a slave.

but,

My history lesson,
For Mistress, the crescent,
As Moon, you wrenched me to life.

now,

My submission as passing,
Left a Dominant standing,
Shall we play catch with this two sided knife?

Meant-To-Be Overshoots
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I want nothing and all
I want throatchase and falls.
I want spiteful endears,
And ricochet tears.

I want colliders with nothing to lose.


I want crashes indebts,
And bombadier pets.
I want cleft incoherence,
And bookies for parents.

I want you to know how to choose.


I want pratfalls regarded,
And paradigms parted.
I want sickly verbatim,
And writings circadian.

       I want you,
            I want you,

I want you.

In Patient
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Did you know what you saw?
Did you know what you felt?
The half murmured confidence,
Of meteoric bells.

Did you shy from your musedom,
To protect beyond self?
Did you frame your desire,
Or put your wants on the shelf?

You embolden my patience.
You set to spirals, my grace.
My heart left to tilting,
From not merely a face.

Fo Long, Sucker
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I'll pinch-toss that lackey,
I'll drop-kick that knave,
Though lazed in his efforts,
He's little more than a slave.

A turn-key for hire.
I find my bile rise
At Hypocrites' dementia,
So I'll smile my good-byes.
There's an initial title switcheroo
(don't want to be ******, save its need)
Finding a new job, thank God.

There Are More Sides
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Bottle up intention,
Bottle up the noise.
We break piggy for thoughtpence,
Knowing we'll "be boys".

Save yourself for reason?
Save yourself for sane?
Nature is Complications,
In absence lies the pain.
for the ******* whom I use my wishin' stars
she's not yet ready to be my muse

A Low-Focus Demon
Keith Ren Aug 2010
No distractions, no escape,
My Introversion's heavy cape,
My lust may rise against her nape,
So my heart spins hoops of steel.

I wish for 'love', and 'happy-sees',
I wish for Truth, but on my knees,
I pray my soul's 'Unfettered Pleads',
And bandages, that I might heal.
Keith Ren Aug 2010
My life crosses that of a star,
and is lengthened.

Brightly she guides-
invisible scars that have strengthened,

Her insights, her listening lightness, her giving,
As absorbing the rays of the Sun,
I will take them.
for my friend Crystal

Of Benign Neoplasia
Keith Ren Aug 2010
She more made him wax poetic,
She more made him draw, and sing.
And though might he never meet her,
More than ever
could he do
...anything.

Unaware, she unlocks a new growing,
A greater leaning to follow his bliss,
with a two way street not always flowing,
a better man now
just knowing, she
...is.

Circling Grace
Keith Ren Aug 2010
God bore me this life,
I give thanks from this cell,
For abilities to feel
Nature and signs.

I'll make pretty this cage,
And ring, even to death's bell,
When gratitude finds Him
Releasing these binds.

Hang the Wall
Keith Ren Aug 2010
The statue he was,
is cold.

The room,
with it's drawings and reflections,
is still.


And his heart spins instead of the world.

Symbiosys
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I'm made stronger in holding her
Through her storms.

She's made, all the prettier
In keeping me warm.
Keith Ren Aug 2010
It is the little things that
will unlock you.

Don't allow their passage without regard.

They are the small, fresh sights and words
that may stir you to tears
and smiles.

They are of the most ridiculous variety,
so savor them sweetly.

Draw, sing, and write of them.

They are a thousand reflections of collected acquaintance.

And,
in the gathering,

are introductions made.

The Every-Way Learn
Keith Ren Aug 2010
What if I'd, heard tales of the Sun,
But had never seen it rise?

What if I, had hoped for you,
But never met your eyes?

What if skipping stones found life,
And took cerulean skies.

What if,
In waiting,
Heartbeat's taming,
I found the Moon's light wise.

Just Words
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I'm not ready to feel you.
I'm not ready to know.
So I'll make wordy rhythms,
That I shove into poems.
I'll think that I'm clever.
And hope that you'll smile.
I'll shrug with, "no muse here",
But write all the while.

The Fakeless See-Saw
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I'll call you out politely,
Our friendship can withstand.
The criticisms helpful,
Not complimented backhands.

We'll open up the eyes of,
Each other, and the world.
We'll walk the truthspeak, aiding,
Through tangled, loving curls.

Some Things Melt; Some Fade
Keith Ren Aug 2010
You forgot where you loved me,

I forgot where I died.

The grass grows now awkward.

In that space where we tried.

Sheet Music Footnotes
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I feel all the pages,
Though sunken with wages,
They stick, they amble, and drag.

Your skin, silver laden,
So draws me, in cadence,
I hope, in your form, time may lag.

I lay thee, the lovely,
And touch-pray the subtlety,
My kissing your spirit in rags.

My fingers pick chordly,
And tone-know you shortly,
Symphonious expanse with no lack.

Puzzling Pieces
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I see where I fit,
As a leave among sticks,
And you, the soil
Giving way to the Sun.

Turn my color adaptation.
You, the brilliant rose variation.
Ever spinning, till our meetspokes find,
"We're the One."

Spread the Tiger Marmalade
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Shake the wake tree,
Jungle cat pretty.
You're pushing the grab for truth.

Your foot spring strength,
Your spirit frame length.
A new day closer,
            to knowing your "you".

Jibberinshpiration
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Green fairy providing,
The long lip sliding.
With thoughts passing
Words and naught.

But what do they mean,
These elephant screams?
Except that I'm ok
In knowing self ought.

A Circular See
Keith Ren Aug 2010
The tandem machine,
Is rocking horse clean.
The Give and the Take
......is breath.

We ride symbiotic,
This Life so melodic.
I'll not see my Energy changing,
......as death.

What Pain Is Not
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Show what you've drawn.
Love what you've known.
Come to the meeting,
With nickels and bows.

Lighten your graces,
Smile in the Thorns.
I'll swim in your blue hues,
But drown in your warms.

Chosen and Chaste
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Won't you pull at my tongue,
With my jaw slamming shut?
That double-edged wit of regret.
Won't you blank out my mind?
These signed waivers of time.
No muse would I more happily bed.

Time Spent Pretty
Keith Ren Aug 2010
You gave me words.
You stole my breath.
You lingered lovely,
Such empty tests.

I lost my footing.
I gained my sight.
I couldn't draw you.
I say good night.

Coarse Grounds
Keith Ren Aug 2010
The stage is set.
Time de-compose.
To leave me at the door.

I'll find such sleep.
Short as life.

Dreaming,

On the floor.

OCDs and Pink Slips
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Please turn me, lovely,
Such wretched figure,
Swaying, laced, and coy.

Please, lay me, lonely,
Trade flesh for peaceful,
Compulsion's little toy.

I'll write nocturnal,
Though feel full daily,
This ownership you've made.

I'll fight desire's
Sweet, dark fires.
My dues are all but paid.
Aug 2010 · 829
Connected Warms
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Engage the linking,
And free the fray.

The cuts, the blood, the dues.

Deepen the giving.
That rooted loving.

Embrace the roses

....however blue.

We: Universal Expressable
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Breathe your dreams.
In reach the self.
Sideline all debate.

In/As God's design,
You will spend your time.
Allow the created, to, create.

A Perpetual Fallover
Keith Ren Aug 2010
A water surround,
A tilt of the head.
I know well enough:
A tub's not a bed.

A leak and the drips.
A flooding of thought.
The temperant time bomb's-
Wet medium watch.

I'll sleep with intention.
After dry-rise, *****.
The luxurious freedom,
Of bachelor bed.

A clarity won,
Expressable whiles.
The nocturning wisdom,
Of fallover smiles.

A Language Ripening
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Verbose as the Sky,
Heavy handed I,
Released to the thoughts of the seen.

Pneumatic in-tension,
A flexible mention.
Meaningless,
Emphatic, and
Green.

Desire Sharpened
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Retrain the knife.
The mind it sweeps,
The velveteen,
With focals deep.

So sweet, the lay,
The houred beats.
So cut the day,
Without retreats.

Now chase your bliss,
With lust for life.
With hit and miss:
Retrain the knife.

Relax, It's Cherry Flavored
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I see demons hiding.
I wink at their shadows.
******* themselves, halfway to the curb.

My censor is muted.
My eyes now so lidless.
My voice, oh so set to disturb.

You ring out your outrage-
Crowned Queen of the Vapid.
I mirror the things that you chose.

The Soma, the money,
You burned through such tinder.
I break sidewalk with spoon for your dose.
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Lay the Sun, love.
Roundabouts.
By Self, you mire the time.

In low repose,
And tickle tones,
You disregard my rhymes.

In mystic sweeps,
And Jungian leaps,
You distance my sight for love.

But ever patient,
I'll bear my heart.
As butterfly eats the dove.

thanks, Bill
Keith Ren Aug 2010
what dreams may come
on nickel thumbs
i take my chances here

to be or not
such fickle crumbs
i lay my bodkin bare
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Love poems rot,
The sensical knots.
I tie, overflowing, the dread.

The Pickwitkin Heavy,
The Verveberry Wedding.
Such shanks, still stuck in my head.

My memories loosen,
The Stopshift Tallcluesen,
Cut to myself dreaming in red.

Full throttle forward,
I'll sail ever toward,
My untying your knots from my bed.

Thanks For Blue, God
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I love blue so simply,
I love blue the most.
I love the way blue,
Just sits on the coast.

I love her expression.
I love her routine.
I love all her cobalts,
And music, and themes.

I love how she guides me,
In filling the sky.
I'll drown in her heavens.
In blues, shall I die.

Providence
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I see patterns heavy,
I see patterns light.
I see the circumference
Of warm, summer nights.

Of dialogues listened.
And shows, all but seen.
I see such collections,
Of coincidenced things.

I feel all the passings.
The futures of taste.
We'll dance in full patterns.
My hands on your waist.

We circle the knowing
And outskirt the norm.
We cling to an Earthwhile,
In gravity warms.

I'll Take It From Here
Keith Ren Aug 2010
The plan-tackle Wretcheds
The treat-splintered Hodes
The monkey Non-lifters
That seize oft the holes

For them, did I back-break
For them, did I glean
To fill face-less Shifters
And grifting Untweens

Soon settle my Upstakes
Soon twiddle my Oughts
I less waste my Enjeans
I less waste my thoughts

No longer line Sprockets
To satsply their greed
I've lit my own rocket, now
I'll grow my own Need

Just Talk
Keith Ren Aug 2010
Talk to me friendly,
And as though we have met.

The angels are giggling,
And some without regret.

Talk to me tongue tied,
Or till blue in the face,

Hand in hand converse,
Thougts in embrace.

— The End —
