One of Them
It seems like life is just one long, bad acid trip for some people...

They're so uncomfortable..
So scared..
So confused.

You do something nice for them, and they think you're deceiving them..

You do something with style, and they envy you..

You make one mistake, and they despise you.

Sometimes I just have to pull myself away and look in the mirror, just so I know, I'm not one of them.

Just Wait,
, Because I am not done with you;
I want you so bad,
But the timing is not right:
But through the years of hibernation
of my soul and yours,
I must continue to lust
So many fish in this sea..
So do not take it wrong;
Do not take it personal;
You are still my favorite flower.
Just wait for me;
Some day, I will be done hurting everyone else,
And I will make my way to you.

Borderlines
I’m borderline introvert, extrovert
Don’t try to tell me who I am
Through a test
I am nothing you’ve seen yet
Apples and oranges
But I’m a tangerine with a slice of green
And I’m borderline upset with the world
I try to understand
I try to make it right
Go and feed my cat
Fall asleep at night
But you can’t tell me who I am,
'Cause I’m sitting on the borderline
Going every direction
There’s no end
Are you gonna pay for that *******?
Count my tens
Then start again
This is a metaphor for your mind
But let your soul think free
I’m just a ***** for your hind
Come and get me

Paths & Mechanics
Some people are just born with a better brain. Higher quality, if you will. They see clearly, what is in front of them, as if they've been on this planet for years, studying the art of things. Think of it like this:

You're in a field of wild flowers, trying to find a path to the daisies at the other side. You pick up a machete and hack your way through to the daisy flowers. It takes hours.

Well, someone with a different brain... They may be looking for those same daisies, but there are only a couple wild flowers blocking their path. They have no use for a machete and frolic to the other side with glee. They arrive with no worries and no troubles. They accomplish something in seconds, that took you hours to figure out.

Maybe you don't even pick up the machete until it's too late. Maybe you never pick it up. Maybe you never see the daisies. Everyone is different. It's all in the mechanics of things...

Neverlust
your cold, light skin --
won't you touch me?
in this life, would you ever want me?
tease me, follow me,
walk with and taunt me...
anything
just to know who you are
any way
to bring you down from the stars
to this world
and into my heart
band you from evil
and make a new start
is it only a dream,
or something less surreal?
I count down the days
to see your flesh
in the heat of the day
but here, I stay
and I haven't seen you once
watching, waiting
only for a dream
knowing it is false,
I sit here and scream

American Evasion
He led her through two large wooden doors, into the unknown.
She walked the tiles of the Japanese floors inside the Temple;
pondering about and peering on the wonders of a new world.
She almost swooned at the sights! Wanted to faint in exultation..

"What a beautiful place," she exclaimed, then continued with:
"If only I could live in such a place, and even that wouldn't suffice
all that I have missed in my own corner of the Earth, all these years.
All should see what I see here! All should experience
such a different way; the way which I have seen now; here."

He looked down upon her petite structure with confusion
and said "You have safety in your home; people die here
every day; struggle to survive; try to escape a hell
each morning rise again. This is no place for you.
Do you know what it is like to fear for your life?
Do you know how much training it takes just to know
you are safe from harm?"

She absorbed his sentences, but remained
unchanged in her thoughts. She responded with dignity:
"But it is an honest life.
Where I come from, we are living in a lie,
and more than half of our people don't even question it;
or even realize such things.
Sure, your body is not safe here, in this place,
but where I come from, your soul is not safe.
And the way I see it -- I'd much rather a sword
strike my back,
then a thought
haunt my being.
Everyone is escaping something."

Beneath Your Hat
I jumped up and down,
moving with the crowd,
and couldn't help but notice how happy I was
as I screamed and smiled,
I finally realized I was tripping from the sublingual dosage,
which I had failed to notice in the midst of things..
crawling up my spine,
the rush of the peak subsided
and nothing changed at all;
as if the music had been just enough;
I was already tripping;
as if I didn't need the drug --
your music brought me home.

Suit & Tie
somethin' real
really blew my mind
he wore a suit and tie
it's easier to love someone
than to be
somebody that's loved
maybe my life's
just one big hail
falling to the ground
to make something else

Equals4Life
try and fathom what I imagine
through the stars and all the fractions
I find something new
then I grab it
Star Trek, more real than it ever was through my child eyes
went from elementary to overcoming common lies
believe in something wild
'cause my sauce isn't mild
it's all or nothing
when it comes to exploration
leave no man behind
but don't abuse the mind
only the smart can see the smart
intelligence is a science, but it's art
each eye sees different
we're all on separate frequencies
but that doesn't mean
you should put yourself beneath me
we're equals
and in mind and heart
we're nothing alike
and don't look if you'd like
but I've got something to show you
I don't even know you
but we're equals for life

Glow [draft]
not the healthiest thing
but the best thing for me
'cause I won't shoot up a mess
and I won't swallow poison
that infects the organs within

the soul with the open mind smokes
and the ones who build gates don't
unless you're fighting an addiction
and I know it isn't fiction
'cause I've been through it all before

or maybe save a little money
when being broke cannot be funny
'cause after a long while
we all get a little sore

but I still love her[b]
and it will settle me down
when the sun is rising
or I'm leaving the town :
the alternative to deficiency

'cause we all go blind at times
when the circus chimes
and it's time to go
but just take it slow
inhale, and then glow

Someone Like Me
Whether I wanted to see it or not,
it was undeniable and I had to admit
that she was the only human being
that came close to who I was,
which in a way, caused me to love her,
setting aside the gray matter
and spoken words.

It
It
They say not to use the word "it" in poetry,
because it is too obscure,
but I still use it,

Because why bother waiting around for others to understand,
when "it" could be anything you want it to be.
And who is "they" anyway?

Faux Flourishings
I'm feeling like a clut,
as you're putting all these colors through my veins,
and I'm ever-so tangled in the faux thought that it could possibly flourish
into something so occult that it would devise a new world of its own, entirely.

But what I didn't examine
was the false hope you stored in my abode of a heart,
by simply being your own and hankering my mind and flesh,
projecting love in an entirety of positive epilogue, sure to soon diminish...

Fear's Advocate
She said she wanted to walk every inch of the Earth's soil, just to see it.
But when she had the chance, she hesitated.
Listening for direction, the wind blew by;
and she never knew why
she never walked at all.

Naked Nectar
silent rues of naked nectar
night and night again
tireless mind-crimes
strike the clock within

a soothing sail
and an abrupt contradiction
weening its way into
something non-fiction

but not a correction
a little less pleasing
a change of direction
that finds you in leaving

a moment of truth
and a gathered up sweeping
but changes are due
and time is not sleeping

No Love
You're not good at much of anything at all,
but lusting lovers and crowding tombs.
No love -- provoke, provoke.
No love -- until we choke.
And ever since
the days we spoke,
you broke between the ways...
Cinders of past lays
wake on your walls.
You sit and think of me,
as I think of nothing at all.

Womenly Principality
These days, all men of different shape and kind try to escape work,
while women conquered this skill years ago.
We had a free ride, and we threw it all away...for work.
But that wasn't what it was for at all;
it was for the principal: equality. passion.
So now, you can say we're equal,
but we've always been smarter,
and absolutely more passionate.
We only stooped so low to the working force
to prove that we could.
And we only remain,
yes, for the passion.

Maybe
Maybe I've been chasing something that is out of reach.
Maybe I've been learning something that I can never teach.
Maybe I just need to be alone; solidarity.
Maybe I'll never find my love-clone; charity.
Maybe I'm just fine by myself; barely.

Those Days
started young,
learned a ton,
found out fast that you can't run.

doin' smack,
fading black,
we all do crazy things, don't we?

growin' fast,
beat the past,
we all know there's no turning back.

movin' on,
singing songs,
everybody has those days...

Just Another Dot
doesn't matter what you want from me
won't sing you a ******* symphony
won't do much of anything

I've thought of all that I could do some day
won't tell you what's the price I pay
won't tell you what I got to say

know lots of things maybe I shouldn't know
doesn't matter 'cause it is so
scoped out highs and lows

just another dot on the map like you
wouldn't matter if I swum or flew
doesn't matter what I say or do

something comes out of everything but nothing
you are respected for living
for taking and giving

doesn't matter what you took or gave
'cause I'll still keep my ways
and my best kept secret is me

PolysexuaL
And when the time dwindles,
and that same body stumbles,
your world all around you
may not or may crumble.

A love-keeper's journal,
written with lust
is not a love journal at all,
bound by false trust.

But no trust
doesn't mean lies.
Maybe misunderstanding
or a misread eye.

Birthed into routine
and taught by repetition.
Opened up hearts
with new intuition.

Raised in a world
where everything is expected,
and anything different
is highly disrespected.

How much is enough?
Whether gentle or rough,
when your time is spent
and you're done being tough.

Who will spend your time?
Whether negative or right,
in the future or past,
it will be in your sight.

But can one ever-changing soul
just settle down?
Does one choose a favorite song,
and ignore all other sounds?

You may never be different,
but may never be the same,
and to find one person
with one certain name,

Would you be content,
never turn away?
Is it so wrong to wonder?
We swing and we sway.

From one love to another,
from hours to days,
I linger indifferent,
to so many things.

Love is love is love,
and we share it aloft.
Is three such a crowd,
in a bed that's so soft?

From partner to parody,
repeat, and repeat,
we go from one to another,
retreat, and retreat.

Back to square one,
alone all along,
but in the months to come,
love like a song.

Some are sick of duets,
and some like to stand alone,
and some like to see many,
and some like to see clones.

A triangle of fun,
an octagon of plays;
A partnership hole,
with so many days.

You lust what you must,
and you think what you might.
You go with your trust,
and you follow your light.

A variety of comfort,
spread across the globe,
with people being human
and that's how it goes.

Some have no idea,
and live inside the box.
Some see the sticky tape
but would rather see not.

Post-Junkie Opera
I know my nose got longer
when the days got darker,
but all I see is light ahead,
so won't you see it too?

You know me better
when I'm close by,
but you are so far away,
so how do I tell you?

This isn't some circle
that keeps flowing,
but a bold line that ends,
so why don't you notice?

It wore me out more
than even you can say,
but you think I'm not tired,
so when will I rest?

We all do things
that leave a nasty scar,
but I see it and I stray,
so don't you think I'll be okay?

I know it's all over
and I hope you soon see,
but time is getting faster,
so won't you please hurry?

This is the post-******
that is never to return,
but always to remember,
so much that I have learned.

Liberty Laboratory
just living
is a rebellion
the singing and the screaming
collide into one
each day
I work for someone
who I do not know
I give them money every day
because we all have to pay
just for living
the composer turns his hand
he asks for us to stand
and we do
as the sitter is exiled
and the new rules are filed
we look to the stars
a world in denial
to freedom
who’s your father
beg for martyrs
because we all
do nothing
at all
like hermits in a shell
inside the cage
we walk the streets
and work the wage
circles of beings
and tireless days of occurrences
with brand new acquaintances
living just the way
they were yesterday
giving everything
to someone above us
equality irrelevant
I don’t like the smell of it
something’s gone cold
we all grow old
let us all blossom the way we desire
be the pet’s owner
that sets the pet free
look in the eyes
of a soul
and let it be
we will surely be thankful
for all the degrees
a smile and laughter
will come from beneath
take off your role
throw in your sheets
uncover your lost soul
find what you need
powerless fusion of hope
grind your teeth down
do what you please
no stress over spilt milk
we are the meek
don’t open your mouth
simply to speak
say something worthwhile
or silence indeed
waking on pillows
justice to sleep
with a head so heavy
that it is light
and a dance so quick
that it goes something like
rapid melodies drifting
into a time
a time that is new
something that’s right
with wishful thinking
you gain delight
but think or think not
I know what I don’t want to know
it fairs me well
while you fancy the rest
the drill is in the ground
just close your eyes
don’t make a sound
give out a smile
come hang around
because just living
is a rebellion
each day
I work for someone
I don’t even know
I still walk with my feet
for now
even though

Eclecticity
a blue flower
a runner's shoe
a sun that's shining
a ride that's new
a person laughing
a cat in the window
a melody rising
a happy widow
a twisted drum
a soft goodbye
a pretty face
a peaceful sigh
a libra calling
a buttoned shirt
a crab with claws
a cut that hurt
a white smile
a bullet punch
a hiked up skirt
a snack to munch
a disco sound
a plant that's green
a piece of paper
a ballet scene

Down-Tempo Daughter
I'm just a simple complexity.
Want to know something more?
I walk at night and my feet get real sore.

I'm just a half-cat mistress.
Want to see something else?
I do it all alone and I never ask for help.

I'm just a cosmic mess.
Is this not what you asked for?
I sink and I smile but there has to be more.

I'm a girl that gets up and gets dressed.
Don't you live every day?
I carry on and don't have much else to say.

I'm a toy that will never be put down.
Do you want to play?
I stick to my guns and I never stray.

I'm just a post-punk hermette.
Do you ever hide?
A typical ride where no one lies.

I'm a poet with a pencil.
Have you ever written?
In my own corruptless world, I fit in.

I'm a solar sanctuary.
Do you hold it in?
I let it out and then I spin.

I'm just a down-tempo daughter.
Did you want something more?
I go with the flow and I walk through the door.

Lunar Logic
The early bird gets the worm;
he eats it and its gone.
When I was a young kid -
ate everything I saw.
Then I rose, a child reborn;
didn't take too long.
When the vines grew -
went up to the sky.
A star is a star, but I'm just a girl;
can't do much of anything
out of this world -
climb the walls and fall back down.
A planet afar, but here is my part;
I got wings -
gonna fly somewhere;
go real far.

get it all

beat the best

This is nothing new;

It must be nice;
letting someone else live your life.

1990 Time Traveler
Stuck in a time after me,
and I haven't even been there yet.
A cloudy future seed
turning into a net.
Could that girl be me? -
after all of the tears and sweat..

To fall or be caught,
but never to surrender.
I hide to be sought -
undesirably tender.
The clock is ticking
but I'm still here.

Never a 20th century gem;
Never a tad more bruised;
Never a broken limb;
Just a young girl;
Just a 1990 time traveler -
stuck in space.
She leaves alone
without a trace.

Coming back broken-like,
being somewhere unbelonged;
maybe she is chosen-like:
She'll dance in the psych
of it all,
like it's just some kind of song.

One Door to Another
Never could I do the same thing
for my whole life;

So where will I stay?
Where is a traveler's home?
Do we ever tire, after long
searches though the unknown?
