Little scribblers!

We make our impotent marks
Upon the vapid sterility
Of eachother's  
Disappearing human consciousness
---
Senseless beasts
of burden only

We don't even pretend anymore
To be MEN
----

We are LIED TO.!
(We don't even care!)

Looking for numbness
We call it peace
-----

So here it is!
----
Another!
_
One more!
---
The fires burn our thoughts
Until the flesh too

Is gone

The words vanish

All that remains

Children crying
Birth me behind a curtain
Making certain
To block the light out

Shine me on
In a black out
Drown the sound out

Let me come to my own

Don't burn my eyes with your suns
Don't deafen me with your drums

Just let it come as it goes

As I for the one
Shall not go

Into your light
Your lies
Your fight
Your right

To live

Make me
Sick

Let me take
So I can give

Make you empty
Make you full again

Full circle I've gone
From goat to kid

As I again wish
To live

In your shade
Round here I'm known as
JEFFREY THE POET

cuz no one reads my stuff
------

I used ta be a play write
But no one wanted ta
Play anymore
----
I used ta love god but he got killed
An I know who done it
------

Most a my poems are about this disguised
In a way
---------

I seen a church steeple
Risin up in the sky
  
Called the
Tower a babel
-----

Erry one lookin at it an babblin
------

I bet most a you out there
Are really beautiful

But like ta pretend otherwise

As a form of  self protection
-----

People round here call me
JEFFREY THE POET
Eventually

We all become believers
You will see

We all hit the gutters
And deceive
What we know
Into what we need

Feeding
On the hope
To cope
With the NO
Of every plea

Foiling
The gaping holes
While fruitlessly
Feathering dreams
Of ceasing
To be

Anywhere but there
Anywhere but here

Afraid and aware
Lying barren
On a hair

To everywhere
But where we want to be

Your everything
Believed in our belief
In our grieving
Of a meme

Obsolete and teething on a ***

Seething in seeing it
Unseamed
And undone
Unto nothing

Disconnected dots
Unlit

Breathing out
And away
From meaning

Slightly clinging
To the things
Believed
To Matter

Scattered over
The tattered matters
In meteor
Metaphors
Seeding
The other chapters

But not until after
Factoring in
The tractor beams
Of nothing

Just waiting

On the bottom
Of the gut
Crawling up
The throat lumps

And stuffing our luck

With all the succulent stuff
We are made of

Until eruptions
Of higher functions

Save us
From the ****

When enough
Is enough
And we just stop
Giving a ....

And let go

Blow after blow
Until we know
Who is in control

Of what is real
And what is
Made up

From atoms to the eave
Of our dreams
We must glean
What we need to

To get us through
These words
Of hurt
Out from lurking
In the work
Of our enemies

Forever tempting me
To blaspheme
In the wake

Of your passing

The endeavoring
Ever lasting
In careful mapping
Of the synapses
Collapsing
Into relief

Though brief

Locked in eternity
Oh the possibilities

My everything
And my humility

Locked in a single thought

In anxiety
Gone quietly

My hands before me

Steady

Always ready
Blanket me
In blank

Make me
Or break me

Take me

To forever
Don't over use them or forget their worth
I know it's only three small words
But spoken loud for all to hear
As a train leaves you shed a tear
Spoken softly by your child at night
Fills your body with warmth inside
Slow and cold at the end of the affair
Like hearing a shot ring through the air
Yet said by many as false platitude
Whilst kissing cheeks is over used
What is missed is not the words
For the feeling simply can't be heard
So as I kiss your cheek whilst you gently sleep
Or hold your hand whilst you weep
Or make you smile at a silly joke
Knowing only you have understood
That is love in all its parts
Not just I love you said out loud
If used to much it losses weight
The words are lost and have no place
For my friend Anja Lindtner a rather good writter, observational columnist and mother.

To change fast he takes a pill
Without a drop of water
It makes him feel ill
And forget what he promised her

He wanders into danger
He falls and gets hurt
He calls me a stranger
And he plays with my skirt

But I'm wearing pants
He's acting so dumb
He smoked some plants
Then the ***** made him numb

Baby, please hurry and change back
Then I swear I won't leave, I'll unpack.
MY LOVE FOR YOU!

I want to be in a condo

In a gulag in Siberia

With YOU

-------

Cut off my arms!
Cut off my legs!

I want only to be dragged around
By the hair

By YOU!

------

I will get a frontal lobotomy
So I don't offend you
With my thoughts

Just so I might stay

With YOU!

4
-------

I let myself be gang *****

By some crazed and deranged **** heads

To practice my surrender

To YOU!

I cut out my tongue
So I don't offend

With silly idle chatter

Dear YOU!

Oh BABY!

..

All I know of love

I learned on

HELLO POETRY

Reading
Enlightened high school girls
Crying to their boy friends

if I left something out
And I offended

Feel free to
Beat me up

But PLEASE
NEVER
LEAVE ME!!

this I humbly

Beg

(Just like a dog)

of YOU!

YOU!

YOU!
---------

BOW WOW!
BOW WOW!

I'll be a mangy dog

JUST FOR YOU!
?
Wake me up
Push me out
Take me in
Turn me round
Kick me out again
For another spin
Circle me
Round the town
Turn me on
Take me down
Another road
Shift in tone
Through another zone
Take me back
Home is where the heart is
Get it back
Always hardest
When attacked
Always harvest
The black
From binary asteroids
Baring maps
Staying stoic
Til it circles back
Sum me up
In deeds
Sell me out
To dreams
Just Be
Without me
For a minute
And let me breathe
