Never say never, unless unsure
If one has won; whether the storm was weathered.
Still the unshod horse circles around tethered,
And pounds the ground until the sound,
Fades away and we forget her.

Friendship is forever, but loyalty doesn't exist;
Deep inside of all of us is just a selfish *****.
The puppet master, d-list disaster,
Terrible actor, no director will cast her.
Crawled from the inferno and seeped through the toes,
Devours every infant the moment they are clothed.
Spine straw, she slurps up all our souls,
Depleted delicious decency leaves a void,
Bad habits enjoyed, eyes remain vacant and annoyed.

The monarch orange, beautiful mess,
Stilted success, seconds from daisy distress.
Stick more glitter to glue the attention
Maybe this year you'll be worth a mention.
Complain about the crowd with smile covered glowers.
Ticking clock tower reminds cowards they've been idly awake for hours.

So take care, prepare your hearse,
We all know the most beautiful flower is clipped first.
KM Apr 2012
Empty words pour over one another and we bath in it
I want to *****. Pinkies crossed, keep my own blood promise.
Clasp raised hands, you're just two ******* grand.
While the empty crowds and fake personalities go crazy in the stands,
And the non-imaginary friends rally to take a stand.
Judge me, judge them until you're at full self esteem
Shiny train wreck tracks, two tons more and full steam
Ahead, altered image in your head to fit the rhyme and time before we split
Apart into the tiniest of atoms, I wish you'd shatter and splatter already,
70% water and you're still pretty **** heavy,
Though if by mass or volume remains a mystery.
Open eyes, twisted spine, take your shoes, give you mine
The top of the pond is warm, but just wait until the dark fills the lake,
And the hopping waterbugs overtake and your body is no longer your own.
Queen, **** it, King, sit on my throne,
And look at the useless fruitfulness that I have grown.
Trust you as far as I could throw a stone and it landed among the seeds I'd sown,
Silver puddle reflects to me that the you I'd known has left me all alone.
Friendship without sun drowns us in a matter of hours
***** fertilizer and weeds choke out the flowers.
And all the while this ***** dreadful night
Can taste the lightness of our fright, and be remembered as the day,
That the privlaged beggers finally picked a fight.
*******, we used to care about one another
Though I won't say we've grown up or apart,
Our dimensions seem to have warped an awful lot.
It could be that this is art in the rambling, symbolic diary sense,
But let's have some common sense, no props to those
Who cheat and repeat, force the burden of meaning on the helpless seedling.
Abstract art and children separated by a mirrored glass wall to encourage real work
And here's to the curses written inside the bathroom stall,
Embraced and erased, then forgotten years later
Memories wiped without a trace, this human race
I'll bet you can win, but I still run faster
You tricky ******* set up traps along the track
Encouraged by the sadistic master.
Paper, tin and plaster;
Save the past so she remembers the tactless *******
That was presented as a present and in the present now presents
A trickier problem than he could devise if he had tried.
Perhaps he never lied, but looked at the fingers, little miss
Scarlet tips, tried to deny but the die is dyed with fine metallic mist.
Gleaming puppy-dog eyes pour remorse, of course,
But given another pure, white sheet
Would prove even more efficient in "accidental" deceit.
So row, so row, goes the lame claim that my words manage
To stay same in your brain, gain an image of the pain and strain.
No love, never then, never again.
Continue talking, and walking apart
I'm sorry, screamed. What's that you say?
Hate and love splatter tiny red dots on the scatter plot
Flash frame, freeze for a fraction, minds captivated by action
Divide and multiply the fractions and traction,
Keeping the same, grown apart, helplessly together,
Until, comparatively, even static falls apart.
KM Apr 2012
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" over again
Stale bread, moldy words
Repentance doesn't matter
Empty words fall to the floor.
Clattering, glass shards shattering
Broken mask cracked again.

Run, quick. Go tell a friend
The news is out, the press has come
Headlines mimic those of the day before
Every day the same story,
Surprising the goldfish followers
Each and every time.

Perfect little girl, don't cry
Those aren't your tears to spread
Your life is perfect, nothing's wrong
Ungrateful, spoiled little brat.
Venom words punctuated with a slam
Left alone to brew in your faults

Perfect little girl
Where have you gone?

She is the ornate vase
Lying in pieces on the floor
Left over from the night before
A causality of a world too busy partying,
Swept away once it has sobered
In mourning.
KM Mar 2012
Metal screeching, heartbeat screaming,
Am I dead, could I be dreaming?
Trapped on this roller coaster of fear,
Ten feet closer and I could have died here.

Flips and turns and moving around,
Glass and grass scatter the ground.
Bump on the head, a little sore,
Ten feet off and it could have been more.

One thing about life is it can end whenever,
And the funny thing about death is that it lasts forever.
If you ask me how I am, I'd say "okay."
Thinking ten feet off could have been my last day.
KM Dec 2011
Children flit about the yard,
Passing and flashing through the day.
Glittering lady slipper smiles
Parted as always, with something to say.
Until the silent rose seduced them,
Quieted their restless tongues,
With a world of glamor, wonder,
And a ladder of creaky rungs.

Taught the ways of beauty and of forgetting who you are,
The children leave the roses' den and start to drift apart.

These fresh tender blossoms, shrouded by thorny prose
Peeking at the weedy world to seek the problem
That they will water 'til it grows.
Then whines and whimpers fill the garden
When each reaps what they had sown.

So on goes the mask,
The beauty, and the thorns.
Never to look back or remember
The place that they were born.
So valiantly do these puppets pretend,
That they do not remember if
The means are really worth the end.
So forward, forward, they do begin.
Smile big and smile bright,
But just enough to win.
Oh, what a beautiful day for living,
In the garden of lovely sin.
KM Nov 2011
Where did you go?
The people I love are gone.

Who are these strangers who fill your shoes so perfectly?*
These people don't care, I hate them.
I ******* hate them.

You're all so unhappy and I'm sorry, so sorry.
But I've lost you, all of you.
I hate you.

I want to run away
And never come back.
But you're all gone anyways.
Amen to that.
KM Nov 2011
Laying in bed, searching for time
Musing the day and the thoughts scattered through my mind.
I drift away and my mind dances into sleep.
My brain wanders to places that can only happen in dreams.

One breath and I'm higher than you will ever be,
Up, up away, to a place you will never see.
But then my mind wanders across newly-trodden ground
To a new image that leaves me unsettled and unsound.
Every day I see this dream and watch it all come true,
Unfolding right in front of me, all I do is glance at you.

Oh, rip me away and drown me, my fickle heart says.
And to that I say, "Shut the hell up, I need my rest."
But still I lay here, thinking of this dream.

I fall and I fall, until I hit the ground, which is harder than it seems.
But here I stand, shaking cold, bursting at my seams.
A mist sets in and I'm more gone than before.
Oh look, the devils are here, cackling, knocking at the door.
This mess, this mess, this ****** mess. See what I've left on the floor.
Now look at me, I dare you. Straight into the eyes.
I have something to tell you,
No *******,
No lies.

Do what you please my friend.
Please, really do.
Be happy when you look in the mirror and stare back at you.
There's nothing better, nothing in the world, than being real,
Of having true character, personal zeal.

Stop faking and flaunting and dizzying around,
Perfection is *******, and there's nothing profound
I'm as fake as can be and I'll tell you now,
There's no way to reach it, no way, no how.
It's not a real place, you really can't get there,
That destination means nothing, nothing I swear.

So laugh away my friend,
Cry,
Cry harder.
Love from now, until the end.
Know who you are and just stay true,
Be there for yourself,

And remember I care, too.
