Scapegoat
M Clement Feb 2013
My Evil Twin, so set to sin
Grabbed me without explanation
Took me to town,
Eyes set on degradation

Beds to be in, sins to sin
Blackened soul with no retort
*** "between her and I" treated like sport

My Evil Twin, so set to sin
Left me long ago
So here I'm left, her and I
So little left to show
Bottles on the floor
******, fornication
We've taken roadmaps of each other
To every route we know of
(And some we created)

My Evil Twin, so set to sin
Just a made up brother

Aaaaand that's a lie
M Clement Apr 2014
Aaaaah, ***** my side-ache
And ***** me inside

I left my mind back a couple of days ago,
I'm behind on the times

Football, Meetball, Youball, eyeball

Wordplay's for *******, and I'm oh so catty.

What's wrong with digestion?
And where's my humerus when I need it most?

I have little left to say to either you or I, but I'll keep talking so it looks like I'm halfway to a quarter of insanity.

I miss not touchés or is it touches?
Relationships, man.
What's the best of these and what's the worst of 'em?

Strap me to a bomb so my thoughts get exploded for all to see.

I never wanted to put you ahead of me,
and that's a lie.

Grow more crops
M Clement May 2014
I hate farmville
I don't understand why people put up with shovelware
Pay more money to play our game
Pay us more money to do something monotonous
You grew corn
Way to go.
You're a champion.
Thanks for the $1.99
Fertilizer's great right?
Wouldn't you rather create a fake farm
than make one in real life?
Why use blood, sweat, and tears
when you can pay more money
To play a ****** game for years?
Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook prompts; this one: Farmville.

It rains Snickers bars
M Clement Sep 2013
There’d be a day, she’d say
Where jubilee fills the street
And neon buildings open their mouths
Unleashing droves of joyous peoples
And they’d mob the streets in love and happiness
And sing of splendor and living proper
And we’d sing along with the crowds
beneath the candy-coated clouds
As we’d wait for the rains to come
And embrace one another in excitement
And anticipation
Awaiting to go home
Prompt: And we’d sing along with the crowds
beneath the candy-coated clouds

Based off of a prompt given in reply to "I Need Your Assistance".

A Mash of All Your Favorites
M Clement Mar 2013
Color me confused,
As one most often will do,
To strike a note with a concordance of thieves.

Away, away sweet thoughts on paper,
Melodrama and cherishment be thine.
Add a dash of insecurity
And away all conscious thought processes go.

A tongue-tied shade of green, you always seem to put me.
Playing without knowledge, with my thoughts and mind.

Deep within the castle walls, a creature stands listless,
With eyes of hazel and face chiseled in anguish and confusion.

To say that a man is a man is but one side of an ever-evolving equation,
And I can’t help but feel at loss.
For what should be with great elation to be near, all I feel is lost

With emotions in a tizzy,
To keep my mind busy,
One must try almost too hard.
So take what I say,
Writ it okay,
And pay no attention to my advances.
Sharing is caring
My poetry's pretty dark, right now; this was something lighter.

X marks the buried
M Clement Dec 2012
God Bless ye,
The weary, the broken
The ones who are bleeding
Lifeless
Go away, weary souls
You do not deserve such earthly
Despair
The bodies broken,
But the souls,
Intact?
To the stratosphere with you

And to those who are the
Perpetrators
I do not wish for damnation
I hope for forgiveness
And I hope for reconciliation

Blood marks where people
Once stood
Now there are bodies
Lying in the neighborhood.
Just thoughts and musings regarding the recent shootings, here in the world. It's not abnormal, but it is sad.

A common (im)modesty
M Clement Jan 2013
Guess what?
The title has nothing
to do with what
you're reading.
Shocked?
Don't care.

Melancholia
Sweep through my insides
Signing away my life on a slip of paper
God's given graces
God's men
You looked like you had a fork tongue

I came to you
Modestly
Dressed in Enjoi and a Beanie
I wanted to hide the cat gang on my shirt
Look presentable
I was in front of the higher ups
This was serious stuff
But you mistreated it
I should have come naked
And flopped my **** around
It would have been about as serious
As you took this get together

Wow, that was atrocious
I can't believe I wrote that
But these feelings are true
And I won't try to fight back
My wording could be better
That I will admit,
But honestly, the way you handled this
Makes me sick

So I sign again,
Hoping this time, for the better
I signed this piece of paper
Letter by letter

Signed the date,
And away
Goes that weekend
On a retreat

Hoping for different
Not expecting much
Praying for better
Than a fancy lunch
Super personal poem, but felt it necessary to write.
Not super relatable, and for that I'm sorry.

Drive off the edge of a shallow cliff
Congrats, you've made it off the curb

Doing drastic things has never been my specialty
Let's live vicariously through someone else
I won't feel anything
But that cuts both ways

Melodramaticism spills forth onto a page that exists
Only because we want it to.
Philosophy in this place
Semantics in schools

School of thought
School of rot
School of wrought

Insides sink like they're covered in ink
Resting in my pelvis

Anatomy is for the birds
But people have it too

I'm still waiting,
Haven't you heard?
I'm still a ******.
Wrong wait,
As in: wait here just a little
I've got more to say

Feeding experiments to those most hungry
Let's secretly give syphilis.

Disgusting peoples live throughout our days
The devil and God are raging inside of me
Let's be brand new

Just nonsense,

Welcome to my poetry
There's meaning here, seriously

Notepad
M Clement Jul 2013
It's the easiest thing to do
Sitting on a red cushion
To a red sofa
To a put-together living room

Bachelor pad this isn't
And that's okay
It's home.

Past that, it's the realization
That there's more to write
Always more to write.

I'd honestly prefer to write on physical paper
However, my pad and pen I left long ago
Well, a day ago

And as the air whispers summer
And the breeze tickles senses
I wish I had a cup
A cup full of black, caffeinated bliss
And I'd look toward the air,
And whisper back, "I love you."

I know You'll hear it.
This is the poem I wanted "The silent type" to be. I'm extremely happy with this one. I'm normally very ******* my own work, but this one, I absolutely love.

Alarm
M Clement Sep 2013
There's an alarm going off;
it's not a siren, mind you,
but an alarm.

The very same buzzing and
beeping that oft
assaults our dreams
and sleep-havens;
bringing us back to the
dreary sunlight of day,
or the last few moments of night
clinging to what life it has left.

This alarm, of which I speak to
you now, is continuing.
The continuous assault on my
eardrums throughout everything
I do.
I walk through the leaves that begin
to grace the ground, saying "hello" to
the dirt that it's been so far from for so
long.
Within the sanctity of the classroom,
where professors grace students
with life lessons and years of experience
or lack thereof.
Within my own home where I continue
to make a meal for the evening, desiring
not to go hungry.

Continuous.

I hear it everywhere, and
as I reach for the button, to stop
this incessant noise
barraging my thoughts
and ears, I realize, I'm awake,
and I've been awake all this time.
There is no off button for this alarm.

What is it reminding me of?
What do I need to awake from?
I'm not sure I'm satisfied with how this turned out. May come back to it.

"Do you want to find love?"

"Of course I do."

Srs Bsns (Serious Business)
M Clement Jan 2013
Off to dinner tonight,
This is starting off like a journal entry

I often wonder if I'm meant for someone else
Here
In this world
Or is it bigger than that?

Dinner tonight
Not romantic
Far from it
Discernment
Priesthood
And please don't mention *** scandal

Solo until the day I die
That's what I'm looking at
But my scope is so...
Narrow
So...
Earthly

Instead of a father of offspring
A father of peoples
A father of the church
A person who can set people towards a righteous path

But let's be honest,
I'm far from righteous.
I talk a good talk
But my walk is a sad limp

I pray before I eat,
But "forget" in the hustle
and bustle of work and life

If Christ is supposed to be my center
I'm way off target
Another god seems to follow me
Another trip to Target

I'm consistently surrounded by choice
In the day to day
But instead of choosing right
I go with "**** what the haters say"
I could have bleeped that out, you know
Nullified it,
But I'd rather be raw
And let you see that side of it

This is serious business,
and no less a journal entry
I tried to change it into poetry
but I'm way off target

Ghosts are peeling from the wallpaper
And skeletons are rattling in the walls
The fireplace is burning bright
And we can hear it all

As cats call to the night fellows
And dogs cry to the moon
The forest speaks its nonsense
And I can't help but swoon

Through the ghosts
The skeletons
And the creatures of the dark
Night time is here, my dear
Let's wallow
For a start

I work in sales; I work in industry.

so what's the point of even writing them?

Because I can't write good truth for the life of me.
I can speak it though.

Catch me in court, cuz I'm trying to be hard.
It's all *******. It's just a parking ticket.

We're obsessed with hard *******, and chill *** ******.

Thanks Drake, for teaching us what's important.
Kendrick speaks to 'Pac, I wonder if he used ouija board.
It's the weird line between demonic and technology.

I'm just writing off the dome,
I wonder how different this would be if I were sitting at the seafoam.

Let's praise our idols; not praise our God.
Let's ****, ****, lick, blow.
We all know there is no next show...

Smoke in hand

Stick a fork in you, I'm done

Love you till I make it pop
You back, your legs, your neck

Grow a pair of Nine Inch Nails

******* all over paper creates weird art
I need some literary fiber or something

But instead I almost committed ****** to the nth degree

With my *** juices
Now I'm cool as ****

Interested in interesting intellectuals
Bringing bacon back, bread-bringing *******
Alliterating alliterative allocutions allowing abusive acronyms

For goodness and badness
And for some ugliness
Here’s the facts and I’ll lay them down right:
I’m a ******* sorcerer
And I don’t finish lists

Irony in the ironical first-person
I left someone behind when they told me to
And now I’m better off,
Know this poem’s for you.
Every time I see your face, I really hope you’re doing well
But deep in my mind I know that nothing’s changed
And you’re still the same, as I’m trying to change
To be a better person than I was when we met
But it’s something that you never noticed, yet
Something inside of me says we’re polar
Opposites and what really happened
Was for the best, for both of us
So I still keep in touch with
Friends around you
And I hope secretly
That you fall in
Unending mercy
And that I’m wrong.

I still look towards you,
apparently, when I'm drinking;
I've done it sober, too.
I check up on you every now and again.
Hoping things are better than they were.

I imagine this on typewriter paper,
and I imagine myself a better man than I am.

And then I realize, that it's not, and I am working on me...
and that I'm sorry that I hurt you.

I often wonder if you'd have been better if I were never in your life.

And pretending ***** ****
I hope you're not mad at me

And you're too **** pretty

Cuz baby, sweet baby
This wasn't meant to be
You're broke as hell
And I didn't want to let that be
But your shard of glass was put up to me
Like ransom
"Stay away
It's better you see?"
But I'd be lying if I said it felt better to me.

The risk of life is getting cut sometimes
And experiencing falls
But that being said
I don't want to be there
If you feel no emotion at all

So, I guess you're right.
We'll pretend our lips didn't fit together
And I'll try and forget the nights we spent on each other

Out

It's not what love's about.

Procrastinating

At least it's with writing

Over a period of two days,
I had two inquiries of my own relational status
I also forgot milk, chicken, and various meat products
shoved together, shaped like tubes.

I switched my ring to my right hand
After that

Maybe people will get the picture
I'm not committed
There's no "other" to this significant

That sounds prideful
I don't mean it as such
I just know that I mean something
I'm here for something
That's more than I'd normally say on the subject
Downplay

I switched my ring to my right hand
Right before I got back all my various foods
I sit now, in a dimly lit living room
Illuminated with nothing but a distant light
And this computer screen

This poem has schizophrenic meanings
I hope I'm not committed.

I had a dream last night
I was a Pterodactyl
But that's beside the point

When I was human
In my dream
I hooked up with women
As far as the eye could see
(Maybe 2 or 3)

I knew these women
I went to school with them

But every time I touched,
Kissed,
Nuzzled with any of them
It felt wrong
I was disgusted
And it hurt

And as a Pterodactyl
I couldn't glide
So I hit the pavement
Hard
Even though it was really windy
I need to garner some sanity somewhere.

Burn(ing) me, man. but don't taze me, bro.

If I got high on legalized substances, am I still escaping?
Metaphoric endorphin rushing as patio furniture sits silently,
slowly choking as I fill it with my own ***.

I haven't written in so long, because I lack some passion.
I haven't written verbal joust in the form of bitter tongue because I felt it lacked restraint.

I ****** with a straight jacket; it felt great.
Perpetual virginity, a fool's errand running.
I have my V-card still; kind of... it's stunning.

I left a can of gasoline at an alien's house.
I came back and fire had engulfed what was left of my sorrows.

"I thirst," said He, the savior of the world.
Let's all ignore the singing signs of everything, boys... girls...

I have not a word to say in recompense for exploitation of your idiotic murmurings.
Well done, my good and faithful burdenings.

I can't speak to what hasn't yet been said,

Therapeutic scratchings
M Clement Aug 2013
He draws lines in the corner of the page
Creating what could be a rectangle
Though the sketchiness of each line
Told a differing story
And as he angled his pencil
He filled the "rectangle" in
Scraping graphite against paper
He scraped
and scraped
and scraped
Searching for therapy within each stroke
Once his job was done
His quest completed
He left feeling different
but whether that was positive or otherwise
was yet to be discovered.
Sharing is caring.

I've always desired to write like the Psalmists,
to give praise to the God who so loves me.

I seem to do better in light-hearted matters
and vulgarity.

But if I could write appropriately,
as if my words were even close to
the fullness of how much I mean them,
I'd say that I'd be nowhere without my true
Father.
The one who resides afar, but so near.
The omnipresent Triune God who loves me
more than I can stand to love myself.

(Notice how easily I make this about me, something I loathe.)

But my God, O God.
Your beauty is deeper than the ocean,
Your majesty stretches across the atmosphere;
nay, it stretches across the cosmos.
But a speck I am in Your glory
yet You love me all the same.
Yet You love me all the same.

The idea of You taking thought to create me,
with purpose no less,
blows my mind;
truthfully, my only hope
is to spread that love that you giveth me.

To reflect you.
To be a light unto others in Your name,
and yours alone.

Though my life feel like a desert,
You are an oasis.
Please fill my thirst.
I don't normally dive into my Catholic Identity here, but it is so much a part of me, that I really wanted to try to put that in a poem. Who else should I write for?

If I said I wanted you out

This is pure *******
Uncommitted
Unfiltered
Unwanted
Accept the three you's
And learn to accept me.
It's like how to wrongs don't make a right
But three rights make a left

Disney Cartoons that no-one enjoys
Put your hands in the air
One more round of exotic-bird bingo

Bury me deep in the ground with a ******* *****.
Leave me nothing but a tombstone
Inscribed
"Here lies a self-righteous *******.
Always thought his **** was better than
Everyone else's."

Did I ever tell you,
I stole my best friend's girlfriend?
And then broke her heart on her birthday?
I'm a ******' joke.

I'm not even rhyming anymore
It's not like I care.
There's no form here
My soul laid bare

Play with me a bit.

Soothing lyrics whispered into ears of babes
Drowning in bath water.
I haven't talked a while
To my father's daughter.
I just hurt myself with my own rapier wit
Cutting goes both ways
I'll admit.

****, this poem stings
Coming off a lyrical ******
Called this the right ****
But my alignment's off-center.

I/finished
M Clement Mar 2013
I want my doctorate in English
And my Doc to be Mexican

Mixin' cans of paint as potion
Break fluorescent glowstick lotion

Orifice ******* quite ridiculously
Saying the OPQRS-for starting the next
Sentence

Spell out Cookie Crisp,
I poet with wands
Cookie wizards take funny jokes
For far too long

Black-si-can
Waxing can
Love me longer time

Cleaning off hair wisps
Off the top of the Tacoma Dome
Hell's riders are weak again

Break falls with Tylenols
And an entire tube of Tums
Wash it all down, a bottle of ***

Sickly suite suicide of all the ones
We deem young
Romeo and Juliet
The lady doth protest
Breaking pellets of Mydol
Off my hairy chest
I finished Alien Vs. Predator by Michael Robbins. This is a poem of mimicry.
M Clement Oct 2015
There's traces of you all around this room.
Like long-forgotten relics
of a reality I had forgotten existed.

So much has changed,
but I don't know if you can say the same.

How can I?
I'm still lost, flustered,
out of breath, and tired,
but somehow, I feel on the right track.

I'm pretty sure you felt the opposite.

I stopped drinking, but nights like these
make me want to pick it back up.
Where'd I put it down?

I guess this is a sorry.
This is a "I'll see you soon" apology.
This is a "I don't regret much" statement,
but I'm sorry all the same.

Which area on the doll?
M Clement Apr 2016
Illiterate alliterations
Of Farcical fascinations.

I fancy myself a wordplayer
if not a word-sayer
Though the paper gets far more love than the air

***** what's nearest the toaster oven.
Vile Bile, Jim, by at least 3 miles.

I took the tapeworm from yesterday's sandwich
Gave it to the secretary, who continues to *****
She's a labrador
I'm a matador

You'd be surprised how much bulls ****.
I haven't had the capacity nor the desire to write in so long. It's good to be back, though I don't know for how long.
M Clement May 2013
It's official,
Summer's started
And with all the wind out of my sails
I am prepared to travel across the ocean

If anything has changed,
I don't even know

That wasn't for poetic effect
I really don't.

Let's speak honesty:
I have no idea where I am in life right now
Give me five years, and I guarantee
I still won't know.
God only knows what's happening
And I'm happy, but ****, am I tired.
Things happen for a reason, and know that
I'm really ok. Like, really really ok.
I think.

I've been playing poker about every night
But I've been playing alone
It's weird, I mean, I'd relate it to solo-***
It gets the point across, but it doesn't make you feel less alone.

I tried to spend as much money as I'd allow myself
Shop therapy
Drop stacks of $5's on the counter
Like quantity over quality

Let's Venture, brothers, to foreign lands
And let monarchs dance across our fingers
We can meet Sasquatch, Speedy, and I'll be your number 24

Now let's be dramatic:
I'll ******* die... well, don't we all eventually?

(Not so) Subtle Poetry
M Clement Jan 2013
Posh poetries in the minds of the youth
Aren't we all such genius minds?
(Doesn't that sound cool? I'm just puffing smoke!)

Pretty women, walking by
Men that lack a stronger eye
(It rhymes, but I mean willpower)

Just in case you didn't know,
I assume you do.
(Once again, I'm talking about my
analogies and wordplay)

Talking in text
Because face-to-face is awkward
But your smile downplays it,
And I'm happy to bask in it
(It being the awkward situation for you
grammar nuts out there.)

I figure I'd be funny
Poetry like Bugs Bunny
I just hope it's a little more "PC"
(Politically-correct, Bugs Bunny was not, though
funny he was.
If you don't know who Bugs is, educate yourself!
You sadden me.)
Honestly, I'm just ******* around.

BBB, fool, you know me.
Taking time to leave my stuff
I’ll talk you up with a bit of fluff

It’s funny, I never knew you existed
In the end it’s me who’s ******
Watch me whine to the football coach
I’ve never liked long runs.
Let’s run the field, I think I’ll be ok with one time.

Let’s move to some place sunny!
I here it’s ******’ nice there.
Let’s move to some place sunny!
I here it’s ******’ nice there.
Let’s move to some place sunny!
I’ll bet you’ll get your fix there.

Leave the cave, it won’t welcome you back
Nevermind no one liked you anyway.
Lies of Tricky-**** Nickson
I’m always proud of you, son.

I’m sorry I missed your call,
Nevermind your message.
I’m sorry I missed your call,
I promise to change the way I am

Let’s get dinner,
I’ll pretend you’re with me tonight
Face great for the camera
Only the greatest for the girl that I’m sexing tonight

Strip down girl, and tell me how you really feel.
Nevermind no one liked you anyway.
You can be mine for the night.

tweet my injustice
Let's all us combustus
and fritter away french fries
from the local till us nuts

Freakin' Friday
Meek and Nigh may
take away the saltines from the
mouths of youths
and put a large bass in my
kissing booth

I am Xavier
I am Charles
I once supposited a pack of
Marlboro's
Shamus mc ****, Batman
the 'copter's on down furrows
I wrote this on the 29th, I believe. I've actually been writing more, but I haven't been posting... sorry about that.

Productivity is for the birds
So let's start the pecking order

Zoom like starships, did you know they were meant to fly?
Pop stars tell facts

Let's name my ****
We'll call it Mr. Richard
Too formal?
What about Mr. Pritchard?
I added a "P" at the beginning
P for *****

*******, Freudian holiday
A Holy Day of obligation?
I better stop before I get struck with lightning
Blasphemy
Passed to me
Last of me
Squeeze out every drop

Make sure you swallow
It's rude to talk with your mouth full

Writing,
Reflecting the inmost being, or simply what's wallowing at the top of the subconscious.
Consciousness, divinity, split pea soup shredding through me.
Mental perceptivity and **** beads: better out than in, I always say.
Check yourself before you Shrek yourself.
Green Onions tell me in grocery stores, "It's never Ogre."

I once thought the world to be flat. Maybe you thought that, perhaps you didn't.
Fluid change of though patterns strike at the heal of the what wasn't.
Wasps leave me be. I drained the pool where I used to be.
He told me the other day; he told me nothing.

Hugh Jackman's nasally in the Les Miserables film.  That doesn't rhyme with anything, it's just true.

If I could write a word for every thought
left unfinished, unsaid, I'd almost write a full

7 ways to make you say "ooh"

I bought pizza kittens flying through space
Find your advertising ***-hole on my shirt

Let's travel to Pacoima
I hear it's nice there
Left field relationships
Right behind the nearest Amusement Park
It's getting easier not to give a ****

Oh goodness, language, good sir
Let's me and me lay down naked
Bear's fur

I do enough self loathing for the both of us
Single-awareness
I've tried to keep vigilant
Self-******* for the hell of it
I spaced this one to the right

I take showers in flowers made of Novocaine and sea salt
I just realized the misspelling of lyrics and song names will never by my fault
Long lines of words and *******
Let's go to the nearest cineplex
Bottellas de vino y mas cerveza para mi!
Let's watch Jurassic Park in 3D
M Clement Feb 2013
There was failure once
In abundance
Where trees were fruitful
Where animals were playful
Where humanity rested its head
On the luscious ***** of created and Creator

Wrought with destruction
Hellfire eclipsed
Snakes, serpents, leviathans, dragons
Eclipsing the sun where it stood in the sky
Changing out the staff for a noose
Hang thyselves, created
Hang

To bite at the ankles
To inject a great debilitator
Break your backs, created
Break
Labor in pain
Labor in vain
Understand your place

A second go
The desert showed
There was no flora to be fruitful
No abundance, but lack thereof
The antithesis of the first
Down to the outcome
Perhaps a former so we can see the glory
Of the latter

Out of desolation
Came great reserve
Out of desperation
Came great determination
Out of humanity
Came divinity
This is one of the first religious poems I've made that I legitimately enjoy and stand proud of. I hope this tend continues.

Yodeling and odeling
M Clement Jul 2014
******* 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.

I write to escape you.
I write to escape the thought of you.
Conflicted//Emotions

Just what I’d like to say,
But let’s keep it tight-lipped.

Three’s a barrier, here.
Finding desperation there.
Unintelligible governmental back-funding to the cerebral cortex of the unintended consequences of the Raven’s fighting the Foster System.
