I could lie about my day
I could bury all my feelings in you
I could leave everything at the door
But then I wouldn't be breathing
anymore

Hangman's noose just ain't funny like it used to be
[as if it ever was]

Reminiscent echoes in my mind
Like high heels down a hallway
Like high feels down the mid section
Like thigh feels on a late night session

There ain't nothing wrong with a little foreplay
Lone way

I feel the best in company
Instead, I'll sit in the dark for a few hours
Some of these lines rhyme with outside influences
If only I could **** out my problems
If only I could drink out my pores

If only I could talk about
Or be comforted by biblical verses

Every time I remember God can see what's in my heart
I nearly break down.

Onomatopoeia
Hello, my name's Rena
I built the walls if the seven seas
Just so I could meet ya

I destroyed the cavalcade
Of masses
Just so we could be
Together

Nevermore
Will I bore you with rhymes
And prose
And nothingness

Alive awaiting
Shepherds gaiting
Soft Un-physicality
Awaiting these old bones

Toxication
M Clement Jul 2014
I exchange one vice for another
Skin for Skin
Or pixelated emulation
I seem to only care for the end effect

Am I the only one who dislikes this?

I listen to music
I talk to other men
And I consider what I'm doing to be some sort of sin
No one else seems on my side.
So here I lay
Struggling in silence

Disappointed in self

And what's worse is I'd drag others down with me
If she'd let me.
And no one I've met is able to pull me out of a whole
Have I just kept digging? Is that the issue?

There's been prayer, there's been suffering

And in the end, I am just hoping this can be used for glory
Rather than condemnation
Because God knows if I could blink, and everything would be fine, I'd do it, and never struggle again.
But maybe that's where the glory rises from.
M Clement Jul 2014
I would have to say
By far the worst part
Is I still can't look at your face
Without feeling hurt.

I could still take a bullet for you
But I cannot linger around you any longer.

Is that what forgiveness is?

Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
After all this let's go to Chuck for sports
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report

A silence ringing Ever repeating
Symphony of
Discontentment
Reassessment
Where the heck am I now?

A lofty lonely absolute
With candy bars
Let's be astute
I've lost all of timbucktoo
In times of lonely and the blue

OH let's just get out of here
OH let's just get far away

Withe the ever screeching contamination of armpit's bleeding
Tumors the size of icicles with the everlasting gob-stopper hole
Rearrangement gentle spinings
Take away my Christmas tidings
And leave me here on this freaking porch
Listening to the Police Reports

OH let's just get far away
OH let's just lay here to stay

Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
This evening there's a shooting near a local door
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report

I never said this would be easy
But I always expected it nonetheless
I never knew that it'd be so hard to
Listen
Just to
Listen

OH we can never get far enough away
OH somehow I've only managed to stay

Saturday night is the wrecking crew
I'd ask if you were here, but I think you've spewed
The intellect and nonetheless I'm making up for all my
misplaced tests
Taking time to make the rhymes and bring about the chiming of the tolls
The ringing of the chimes
I had a tune for this... what do you think?

Night greetings
M Clement Jul 2014
You plague my dreams
I hope you know
From back and forth
To to and fro

Don't know which ring of hell
I'll go
When you
show up to greet me

A wistful hello you drop to me
Hoping I'll retort with sympathy
But after all you've done to me
I can hardly manage greeting

I wish you all the best,
You know
From joyful days
For knowledge flow

I just wish you'd leave me be
Absolute
And stay the furthest you can manage

Leave the rest to me.

******* my comeuppance.
There's a lot of boring here

Learning new text
Fighting new 'plex
And settling into no other

Life as a smattered painting
Galaxy's attempt at recreation
Correctional institutions of cellular disillusions

Peeing off the side of the golden gate to create a meta golden gate
Ships sail underneath my toxins.

Vulgarity for clarity and cleverness for its sake.
Drown myself in intoxication and say things in it's wake.

Welcome to life post life. Welcome to a lonely impasse. Welcome to a place that God desires, let's hope it will soon pass.

onomatopoeia
M Clement Jul 2014
The question I get once upon a never:
From where does your writing stem?

The answer is inside, with a clever, witty reply, and an honest tinge in the vocal happenings.

So another never ever asks:
Where are you, friend? How are the days? What has happened to your writings?

The answers are: somewhere. Not great.

And lastly,
I oft perceive my writings as weakness
And outer showings of a deeper flaw, so forgive me if I seem aloof.
I have not yet managed to find the proper skin to settle.
Recent musings with a deep desire to come back to some sort of prose.

Who's up for a downer of a catastrophe?
I left the tweets to the birds
My manager would hang me

"There's subtle meanings here,"
Says the caveman demeaning the women of the time,
"I think this will go on for ages."

Flying effervescent
Towards the lofty sun
Where "good poetry" sets

I'm the chainsaw to a wordsmith.
I'm the revolver to the head of the writer.

I'm textual suicide.
I know because of my sparing use of periods
Both in pieces and in grammatical ways.

Sunny days.
There's a time and a place
for all of them
But that's neither here nor there.

Asked if I could make music out of the words I so listfully splatter onto a cybernetic page, as if what I said had any meaning at all, and as if all emotion I threw out stuck to anything.
Deprecation
Defecation
Asphyxiation

I perused your pictures
I got rid of the one we had.
You knew that.

I do this thing, I realize,
Where I get homesick
For hearts that I thought were similar to mine

If we were really present,
In this reality that we call home,
I'd remember the heartache
the hurt
the harsh words
the pain
the misery
the mixups
the ***
the lackthereof

And I'd remember that the "you" I'm recalling
Is not you,
but in the quaintest reality,
the person I had hoped I was dating.

And I'm at this weird impasse,
staring at your pictures,
Realizing that I'm staring at a person
I never really knew,
and worse,
a person that never knew me.
I guess I feel it should be said that I'm still a ******; just an fyi.

I finally got to reading today,
You know,
The "Big Book"
The one with the books, and the verses
And the words inspired

That one

And I read through James
Realized I need to clean my tongue with more than a tongue-scrubber

And I started reading Jeremiah;
I felt this overwhelming urge to write.

To just, spill a couple letters, here and there, on paper
I'm here now
I'm trying
I'm here now
And I see

I've been crumbling under bitterness
Anger, resentment
misanthropy
[oooh, big words]

And I've realized a couple of things
That I really need to work on, moving forward

Welcome to adulthood, son.
Your Father will see you now.

Too honest?

I listen to this music when everything goes to ****
Does it help?
Maybe,

Does it help that you weren't there?
Did it make you feel good when you accused me?
Put me on edge?

There's two different you's and too many for me to choose from.

Struggling against my own apathy
At what point does depression stop
And my own hamstringing begin?

I have nothing to show for today.
Some prayers, maybe
I spit in His face a couple of times

I'm lonely as ****
I'm ******* weird, right now.
And the sky is dark as ****.
The outside is dark as ****.
And I'm scared.

In the center of town
The center of town
The center
The town
The bleak sky
oppressing the citizens
not caught in the tidal waves of blood
left over in the streets
where the quad-group
had been

The buildings reduced to rubble
In the wake of the far-larger beast

Po had picked scent
Tinky had bled another dry
Lala was in full speed dash
And Dipsy was pouncing on another victim

Godzilla knew not of the approaching
group
Instead, otherwise focused on ships
hailing bullets
As he swatted yet another jet

He picked up scent

But by then
It was far too late
The group was upon him
And the desired what he held inside:
His... insides

I won't describe the battle.
We shall call it climactic.
I won't describe the ending
We'll call it dramatic
I won't describe this poem

Death, and the stench of decay


Kaiju, Lala,
Kaiju, Po,
Kaiju, Dipsy,
Kaiju, Tinky-Winky.

From the depths of the seas came roars and quakes unimaginable
And from the depths of childhood dreams, and twisted realities came something far worse than we had ever imagined

Tongue-firmly in cheek
I can manage no longer
For the sake of this story
I must be stronger

The mountains trembled at the feet of the behemoth
The mighty lizard-creature
Stamping across cities as if they were
school grounds
Smoke lit the path

Lord only knows how the childhood characters turned
Deathly aberrations,
but alas, one cannot die quickly enough
When faced with one of those
Seemingly fuzzy
Creatures
Ripping flesh
As you stare, losing life,
Staring at their tv-like chests

But the clash of the beasts was one for the books
Godzilla, the kaiju,
with a killer flame
And a terrible temper

And the zombified tv group: the telletubbies
With their great speed,
voracious hunger
And general thirst for flesh

For what purpose did these titans clash?
Solely so we'd speak of it for centuries;
of that I'm sure.

And all my kindness
packs its bags for someplace

Left alone, just me and the bone
to pick with plenty of meat left
clinging all 'round

I stare 'round the room
and I impatiently await
food entering my face

Hungrily angry

Cacophonous waves smash the ever-breaking sides of the boat
And there is nothing but doom on th' horizon

Rain soaks the faces of men and women as the ocean rocks us ever so turbulently
Not letting go of the new wooden toy, she's found in her hands

The sails give way
The ship cracks and creaks
As water pours into the, now, frail frame that was once, long ago, so strong.

There's nothing but peace among the peoples; however, and this so delicately contrasts the violence surrounding.

Gripping crosses, Bibles, family, Love.

Love and Peace surround the peoples with rain soaked faces

The thoughts are killing me

Black and white pictures
memories that only I recall
Talks that I have yet to have
People that I love
Those that I don't
Those that I desire
Those that I won't

We can't even carry conversation

*Isn't it fun?

You still got it.

I question confusion
How one can see a world so clearly
The other, as if looking through dirt
#someaningful
There's a steady measure of sarcasm
I hope that gets across in text

I wonder about the world through the other
I wonder how you perceive it
Am I alone in that?
How do you feel?

I remember;
I have memories
I forget;
No longer burdening

I had a dream last night
It was exhausting
Just like it used to be.
I woke up feeling just as used
Just as flustered as I used to feel.
*You still got it.

I know that.

I think the worst part of all of it
Was I wanted to be that brother.

I mean, grander scope,

The person I am is not who I want to be.

Not even in the changeable sense.
Sometimes I just wish I worked differently.

The saddest part is, by wishing, by longing for that
I'm longing for not me,
and I like me.

I am me.

I mean we could delve into this psychologically: the ideal self.
We could run me through with philosophy, and in reality, this piece is going far from the ideal.

I write stream of thought, can you tell?

None of this is ever planned. I literally ***** on paper [that's electronic], similar to that artist who vomits colored milk, except, you know, with words.
I can't quite turn it into music yet.
That'll come later on, I suppose.

I thank God for what I am.
It's just a struggle, because I want to be better than me;
While He's happy with me, sometimes I'm not.

I saw her face tonight,
and I want to be with the person I perceived
Not the person she is.
She's beautiful though, of that there's no doubt.
I hope she finds someone for her.
She deserves him, and he her.

But I want mine,
and maybe there isn't one,
and I want to be ok with that too.
What's there to say, I guess. If you have questions, hit me up, I guess.

I guess this is more procrastination than anything else,
But writing is writing, amiright?

it's funny, starting a line with no capitalization,
you know what else is funny? Misspellings.
But that's not really what I was going to say.

There's something about pieces of my past that drum up passionate writings.
Congrats to you, if you're reading, you're a muse of somesort.

I was reading 1 Corinthians today.
Workin' on dat daily struggle, that getting closer to Christ grind.
Grinding on the cross.
hashtag: blasphemy
Conjures up images of Jesus at a dance

Back to the point: Paul urged us to stay single.
I find that so weird, but in reality,
It's no weirder than desiring others to fill our hole(s)

There's a **** joke there somewhere...

I'm being crass for the sake of it
An ***, because that's what I make of it.
I write, I writ, I wrote
Am I right? This rite? Is it rote?
Wordplay

Really though, stay single, for the sake of your relationship.
That's what Paul said.
A married man or woman is tied down to this earth ever more than those unmarried.

Is that why I'm single?
I ain't even mad.
Even if I do miss the touches,
The hugs
The intimacy

I know that in it,
When I'm in the thick,
I miss my relationship with Christ more.

Where's the blood
Where's the body when I need it most?

I am the one locking myself away.

Eucharistic struggle
The Communion struggle.
That last line is a good summation of this piece
If this is a poem, indeed.

Maybe I need to make some lines that rhyme for the sake of the time you've spent reading this journalistic entry for the sake of my last century and maybe this one coming.
I'm bumming around for cigarettes that I don't smoke, for **** that I won't ****, for a joke that won't end in any punchline you find funny.
Baby, honey, I need to leave; you need to see the light of day, and I need some time to pray, because everytime I'm with you I'm suffocating. You're pulling, and there's no more rope; you're the trickery, and I'm the dope. And every time  my flesh was in yours and you were on me, I knew what we were doing couldn't be, and that what we were doing wasn't for me, but all for you. I'm all for you. I'm never not.

Except when I'm not.
It felt like something that I needed to be said, and it felt so good to spill it out on paper. I hope it reads as well as it felt to type.

Then there's that moment
Comedians have spoken about it
Friends have mentioned it
Girlfriend's have noticed it

And he can't get rid of it
It's like it's innate.
Maybe that's how he wants it
Just a reminder of how ****** it feels
Used without the proper permits.

You monster.

Skippable story
For the glory of something else.
Meg Ryan's everywhere.
Another movie with Meg Ryan.
Natives, man.

Indian Jewish
Pork and I stewish.
I used to write to side-track myself.
It's back again.

Purple footed ostrich
****** for me
You monkey faced animal

The who wants my flesh?
The you wants my mess.
Thanks Meg Ryan, you're everything.
The ants go marching.
We're watching Joe and the Volcano, or whatever it's called.
M Clement Apr 2014
Me, you?
A pile of stew?
A dinner for two?
A side of verbal spew?
Oh, ****.
I picked up sticks
and allowed my mind
to create you different.
You scare me.
Wine in hand
I make weird plans
I use rope and some vinegar too.

Brain cloud, said Joe to his volcano
erupts inside Meg Ryan
"Where are you?"

Tobey Maguire cries rivers
His ***** is this big.

Go deeper for truth
Go deeper for answers
Let's swell and burst.
Spanish for "**** me".
