Discipline
Keith Ren Sep 2010
The twisted silk, weighted,
The river unridden.
Please, Moon, might I learn this untied.

With struggle's arousal,
I've grown with my hands bound.
Ancestral's teachings have lied.

I cherish the kneeling,
And towering Venus.
This muse has my lust so supplied.

As a coin in bed, flipping,
This boy's heavy lifting.
Which will win here,
        
              My lust,
                                      or
                                                   my pride?
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.

Why Ice Cream Melts
Keith Ren Oct 2010
God gives us this ,
The daily Sun.
Through dusk not meant
To pass.

Those little things
That daily run,
Enjoy! They will
Not last.

For if they did,
Would boredom set.
And leave us
All atilt.

So I thank God,
This favor clear,
Of just why
Ice cream melts.

The Good Seizure
Keith Ren Sep 2010
The gap, the take,
The spindle-rake.
Don't designate the load.

The lack, the sting,
The dandy spring,
There's more than you could know.

So weigh your time,
With thundrous lines,
This yours is yours alone.

Thus Live It Loud,
And Sunstorm Proud,
Use this full day

Gain-Harmonica's Lusty Fruit
Keith Ren Jun 2013
Floating like fans
How we're lovers undone,

Play neat,
Look long,
And clean.

Tablatures razed,
We read songs for none.

The empty
Is marked
And deemed

A Sounder's Facade,
A Shuffling Nod.

The sequence
Is set
And sown.

A vastness to reap
No illusion to weep.

I grin the substance of
All things unknown.

too young for Her need
she took from me power
at the foot of Her greed

was all that i found

To paper the light,
That crests under muscle and bone.

So caught is the skin,
The lux, and the thin,
That rides under shadow and tone.

And touch what I gave her,
This presence, this memory mine.

So journaled her beauty,
With deepening duty,
My happiness-

In tedium bindings,
And air so confining,
I'm glad for the collar you gave.

A dark-haloed hermit.

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

Left a Dominant standing,
Shall we play catch with this two sided knife?

The love of things, willow.
The newness of strings in a row.

A topic injusted,
A fated carnation.
Lapelled in your silkiest glow.

I want you not nearly.
Horizoning sunburst.
You're the fewest that I'll ever know.

I'll meet you on morrows.
With clumsiest wordings.
You're the seeds that I've not seen to sow.

A Duo Pined
Keith Ren Sep 2010
I will scare you with words,
Of the beautiful sort.
Those loving, but to self,
You're not allowed to report.

I'd make you believe,
In a world full of dreams,
But you prefer, in it's stead,
All those alkaline streams.

As muse, you'd release,
And as poet, I'd lay.
But you'll not accept beauty
As your own, (well, not today).

So I'll write of the ocean,
I'll write of shorestones,
Until you accept full your symphony,
And let me play out your tones.

sleeps til half past noon.

I'm lost in fortune reading fairs,
the merry scent of loss,
don't share the fours with Aldebarks,
he vents the gainers toss.

Regard the ring with slower-stares-
the dwarven clowns at play,
the toffee apple wrestle fit
makes ache, a night for day.

The painted lips, the glower lakes,
some girls, for sell, for rye,
no chance to take, Ms. Rosenhips.
I'll leave the half-sheets dry.

So sickly-sweet with menalgaze,
with waste, with fear, with fleas.
No elephants, to drag me through.

I want you to dribble.
I want you to turn
From the matriarch past
To a subject to learn.

I want to state plainly.
I want you to see
What your vain, selfish givings
Have created in me:

Most lustful of torments,
Low pains from my knees,
A pattern for this mind's
Truly bittersweet disease.

Just twelve years of innocence,
Could've thanked you for that,
As you gouged in this monster
Within this boy on his back.

I often search for the key now,
That I might walk from this cell.
But I'm still Pavlov's pup,
With you holding the bell.

She sets tries in the Evers,
And with a fingerly snap
Does hope to move others
Toward a self aiding trap.
With a mirror none friendly,
Save a well tailored mask,
Don't waste your time here.
And don't even ask.

She may now be pathing,
And facing her truths.
But I'll bide still my watches,
And wait out her proofs.
I wrestle with nothing,
All but processed the pain.
I care for her now,

In their want for describing this kind.

And luxuriant darkness.
And attempt wrapping around her before flight.

She's beyond such chameleon,
Beyond color,
Beyond label.

just over seven hours ago
my Grandma left her body at
the hospital

she had the
'can't remember you' disease
and i hadn't visited much

i saw her body there
and she's the first person
i've ever known to leave like that

a prayer was said
and i held onto my cousin
and cried

my cousin told me in the parking lot
that Grandma remembered her
and squeezed her hand
before it was time

fourteen of us ate together tonight
i sat next to that cousin

there was unspoken gratitude
among us, the living
and Grandma is with God

but all i can remember is
the brownies she would make
and her Bible

a gap remains

i wish to feel her watching
because

a gap remains
much more journal than poem
a gratitude for your allowance
