I want to die, words i mutter to often now,
I tried accept that i will always be blue,
But when i paint my blackened heart red ,
i know they can smell the imposter,
Yet they say nothing,

Every time the paint washes off people help repaint it
As if my heart will beat weakly till i die ,
but atleast then its not their fault
How could it be, they didn't spot the signs
But they did,

They painted over them till they would deny plausibility,
I don't blame them, they love me
Yet somehow when i mutter the hush of my pain,
All i get is laughs and ‘that is so real, i have double maths next’
i mutter truths you turn to jokes,

It's not their fault
They do not get it, its a trend
But one day i wont turn up to maths
And maybe then will they realise that maths
isn’t the worst thing that could happened to them
basically a poem cuz my mates and my gf all laugh n stuff when i say 'imma **** myself' as if im not dead serious <3 dont **** urself babes over double maths with miss awe (my maths teacher)

Said, yoke up,
some time, Old Brother Bowers, he'd shout
get outa bed, say it like I'da said it, he'd say

some day, the LORD, is gonna wake us up,

because Old Brother Bowers, knew, he was
not long for this world, and he had preached

some revivals on the reservation, hear him tell

Hellfire, he was preaching in a brush arbor,
on what appeared,  in his vision a treeless plain,

the image of escaping convicts is a meme, true-
ly yoked to the old rugged cross… Cretan wise

brother, where art thou strikes a cord, banjo
boom la cachuma boomer strokes set a vibration

Jubilation P. Cornpone partnered up with
Daddy Warbucks, dealing in orphans made warriors.

We did see our relatives in the funny papers, then.

Yes, we had all things in common, schooled normalized
and baptized to insure personal service, from the gate.

We started to see our selves in comedies of errors,

And some families went into televised animation,
while some just drifted away on smoking flax waves

out past the street lights at the on ramps, in memo-

reum riverdanced right wit little bird shadow tats
tapping out an esohes hester panim this and that’s

where we start in the morning… if the power don't fail,
and the creeks don't rise and the jokes get broke

and all captives in my ink thinks flit freely in to the night.
Deeds do sprout ideas we need a will that's tamed to good sense, working nonsense just if there is a certain glow sometimes... visionary true wisely shown
A ghast,
I grasp.
A reach,
I stretch,
but cannot attain,
their lost feeling
I hold onto.

I'm dead.

A wet leaf, disregarded
from the highest branch.
Now-
on the damp pavement.

A drop,
I predicted, painfully so.
A fall,
I tried to delay, unfortunately,

I'm dead.

If in a world of hate, there's love,
Then I shall never rest,
For every breath I take, I fall,
Wishing for a chance.

In the city of the dead,
My brain is heavy in my head,
For all the souls that followed me,
Into a trap I had to set.

Maybe in another world,
The souls would never die,
But in this place of blood and hate,
All these demons cry.
I believe that everything, and nothing, has reason. Without that, why care?

Some alive people,
are just dead to me.
I hope I can get free by Monday.

The music is long done
We dance now merely to a hum
An unheard whisper
Of a long dead god
The last vestiges of consciousness
Fleeing a hollowing skull
SIMPLY YEATS

My verse under Yeats’ carved door
             he merrily chuckled at white
             envelope, sketched butterfly
said he preferred to receive
verses this way rather
than reading them across
post-modern websites

                             a languid phantom

He invited me to an idyllic tea
we savoured small
cheese squares, crumbly
scones watching a squirrel
chomp a cheerful chestnut
                          LOST AND FOUND

          What word can describe
              fleeting images, dreams of poets graduated, yet living on ?
          
                           V A C A N T

….a vacancy that awaits a letter
        wandering ethereal
a word manifesting __on old desk
        a Lover expecting his
Beloved with cherries and hat

                   a shadow across
                   poetic spaces
                   Yeats, gone
                   ye  t, HERE

                       ~~~
He died so nobody
Could have died
Better than
He did.
He died.
2nd year a sophmore turning 16
cant wait for the day that I can leave
happy birthday too you, finally free
whose going to dead and gone at 13
dead and gone at 13.

wondering what I'm gonna do
stuck down here without you
I don't want to live alone
its so quite now you're gone
I'm so tired calling your phone
to no answer and a voicemail clone

I'm sorry

Мы умрём где-то посреди ночи,
вдавим педаль в пол - и скорость за 200.

и будем мы мчаться в этот миг без границ.
во тьме ночной,в гневе и любви.

Разобьёмся на машине во мраке,
Об асфальт, об ограду, об столб.

Разлетимся в щепки - в мимолётном полёте.

Только чтобы ощущать,
Как любящее сердце бьёт финальный такт.

Но только знай я любил и люблю тебя очень.
до последнего стука, до последнего вздоха.

И даже в этот последний миг.

Ты навсегда в моём сердце.
