Dab, soak
Scrub out blue.
Who wants
A bleached soul?


Star Toucher, 15 March 2013
Some stains can add character...like a spackeled ceiling yielding pretty patterns for the open mind.
And...there's colour in a rainbow :)
You took everything
and returned to the scene
To take home some images of victory
and I knew too late what happend
Staring right into your eyes as the realization ended
All I could do was try to look anew
Attempting not to bleed right through
While I splashed about in shallow waters
I'll just have to learn how to go without
The shame in this game will never max out
and you left me there weeping
Sold me cutthroat trout
I ate it up
Gluttonously
Then spit out the bones of the person I used to be
She's so far from me
I ode to the quicksand beneath my feet
To the weasle who found a way into my keep
The racoon who robbed me so blind
and left me defiled morales
Now left behind and strung about
I graced him like a loser should
I fought but much too late I understood
Don't **** them with violence
because they will still win
don't **** them fast
because lord knows
they deserve pain
don't **** them with your words
they are too valuable to waste
on such ****
no if you really want to hurt them
then **** them with your smirk
every time they **** with you
raise a corner of your mouth ever so slightly
an "is that all you've got" smile
because everybody knows
you are stronger
smarter
better
than all of them
and it ****** them off
so **** them with smirks
and if that still isn't enough
well you can always just
**** on their graves afterwards
Isn't it very strange
That the majority of humans on this planet
Are right handed?
I mean seriously
Out of seven billion people
Over three and a half billion
Are right handed
And I wonder
What part of our genetic coding
Dictated that
The norm
Was for people to rely
On their right hand
I wanted to write this
As an ode
To my oldest hero
Charles ******* Bukowski
But the thing is
Sometimes genius
Is impossible to ignore
The Ego and Shadow
are carriage driver and horse;
as the Self is the carriage,
and Perception is the window.

It is frighteningly easy
to regress into the slavery
of your Ego and Shadow:

It is a fight one must consciously chose to fight
within one's self as well as in the world at large;
but few seem to recognize it as a choice,
they're complacent to be their own slaves;
that is to say:

Most people sleep
in the carriage
while Shadow and Ego
mercilessly propel and steer them.
If you ask me,
poetry is meant to be screamed out loud.
So you can sink your teeth into every consonant;
Run your tongue over every vowel.
Rip into every syllable
as they burst out of your chest.
As the shock and truth
of the power of words
fight to calm nerves,
tempt imagination
and bring all strings of madness
to temporary rest.
how quickly
thine priorities
abandon
me
stop telling me
how good my hair smells
stop
twisting it
around
your finger
like that
**** it up
and spend some real time
with me
i'm not an idiot
i get what happens
you get scared
and you opt out
go pray
for some guts
or something
