he didnt make ME happy
Member of the 27 club, too young to die Too fast to live, only lent to us A break in the clouds that let some light in, Original flash of inspiration jumping From my radio to shout, music isn't dead Too soon to leave us only wanting more

Kurt Cobain
Raised by Kurt Cobain anger, low grunge in earbuds make it easier to ignore the mass of loud kids in the halls, Hope they stay away. For me? Socializing will drain you. Raised by Amy Winehouse. Big winged eyes but, her voice was bigger. Showed me how to close doors, and what hides behind them. For love is a losing game, yet we end up addicted anyways. Raised by The Beatles. 60s pop and rock, Oh! Darlin’ they are good! Taught me to think for myself and let some things be. Raised by Cage The Elephant. Showed me the world is cold, cold, cold. Cause there ain’t no rest for the wicked! I’ll always find trouble on my left and to my right. Raised by Earl St. Clair I might not have what I want, but I got what I need. And some don’t have a three story home to feel alone in. You just gotta deal with the pain, before it deals with you.

oh hemingway had style
The ****** poet mainlines inspiration by the gram. chasing away the gnawing emptiness. Fill the void with creations formed in pain, molded in your likeness to keep at bay the loneliness. The ****** poet and his muse paint the world in inebriated metaphors. Burnt spoon blackened souls gather on the fringes. Creating living seas of tortured, tumultuous shadow. The end comes like an implosion. Destruction turned inward one last time. Not a result of action, but of choices made in moments of self-loathing when the junkie’s muse was nowhere to be found.

****** Poet
We pull, into the Grand Canyon, at sunset. We toss and fling giant rocks, boulder- esque chunks of Earth, off of the side. Someone screams, they are upset, but no regrets, Am I evil? (All poems containing a question) Am I pensive? (All poems containing an affirmation) Blazing across Arizona, dead dogs grovel, strays, orphans searching, seeking, looking for a home, ******* and copulating, in, vacant gas station lots. Not a bone, to be thrown. Where are our owners? (All poems containing a question) This is enthralling. (All poems containing an affirmation) Fear and faith, carry us riveting, through rivulets of clouds, we sore, flying above, searching for peace, doves. The woods would be very silent indeed, if no birds sing except those who sing, best. But, she wants revenge, with a thirst for pain, I cannot contend. And as the rain pours down, sorrow falling from the clouds. She wants revenge. And, I simply cannot even contend. Laying lines out on the metallic surface, of With the Lights Out, white powder flaked along Cobain's black and white face. The drugs which killed him, no longer causing him any more pain, merely giving this writer some idolized thrill and gain. And then high, reading about one more creature, dizzy with love. God gave us memories so that we may have roses in December

*Roses in December*
i would take the first train back to the 90's, when my lungs were nicotine-free and there was always something worthy on TV. i would wear my chucks in bed, and have cereals for dinner. i would not have heard of **** i would have used the internet to find the exact words to the songs on Nevermind, because cassette inlays haven't got enough space for Kurt's lyrics. and if i were you, i wouldn't call this a poem. -khai

"Spasms"
Remember, dancing with the devil In life will take it's toll For, dancing with the devil In the end will take your soul Many who have done it Reached the top only to die Many souls we thought in heaven Could never get that high The Forever 27 club playing in the band Janis, Jim and Jimi In hell, oh....ain't it grand We thought them all as angels But, the truth it rings a bell They were dancing with the devil And they ended up in hell Cobain and Amy Winehouse Oh yeah, they're down there too Brian Jones and others Playing hard rock and the blues Sell your soul to Satan Where you go...you do not choose If you spend time with the devil It's nothing but bad news Remember, dancing with the devil In life will take it's toll For, dancing with the devil In the end will take your soul Many who have done it Reached the top only to die Many souls we thought in heaven Could never get that high There's others there who did the dance Hit the crossroads, sold their soul Drugs and drink and suicide That's how this devil rolls Some may get redemption For the things they do in life they sold out with their talent They were dancing on a knife The band is hot, and so's the place They play here every night We wish they were in heaven But, deep down you know I'm right Elvis, yes, the king is here He did drugs and did the dance Now, he's singing for the devil He never had a chance Remember, dancing with the devil In life will take it's toll For, dancing with the devil In the end will take your soul Many who have done it Reached the top only to die Many souls we thought in heaven Could never get that high So many tortured people So many who did wrong They traded with the devil For the price of just a song Rock and Roll in heaven Has a great band, just the same But, with Janis, Jim and Jimi here They just don't have the game.

I am left the lone soldier on the battlefield, The others have fled. Heroes into the arms of God Cowards to the hills. I am alone in the light of day; No masters to serve, nor subordinates slave. I can see for miles, Yet this ground is unknown to me. I walk the line between history, And numbered days. Shall I be a fabled burst of flame, Or be forgotten as smolders of ash?

Where Heroes & Cowards Part Ways
April 5th 1994- Kurt Cobain dies April 6th 1994- The President of Rwanda Dies April 7th 1994- Kurt Cobain's body is found April 7th 1994- A genocide begins. Neighbors take arms against neighbors People he once shared a sandbox with now hold a machete to his neck Heads roll- literally Babies cry out to their mothers who lie there choking on their own blood Girls who 2 days ago were playing house with their dolls, now take care of their whole family Screams of pain from girls who's innocence is taken from the man who used            to bounce them on his knee. Gathered in the place where God is supposed to be Hundreds are murdered ruthlessly. Guns not pointed at their heads But clubs that smash them in. Achilles' heels slashed These men drink and feast and sleep Over the screams of their victims Babies born 9 months after these men took something that was not theirs to            take A physical representation of all that is evil and hatred and pain She tries to love them anyway But she sees him in them He has daddy's eye She has her fathers nose She sees them in the way he looks at her when he's hungry As if she is just there to quench that thirst with her body. The whole word is split in 2 Nobody is Rwandan anymore You are Hutu or Tutsi Short or tall Human or vermin. The dead among the living Sometimes I can't tell which is which Until I see it That sparkle of hope in that one man's eye Because the human spirit will never die. The father of his best friend tortured and murdered his mother on their            front lawn. Orphaned and afraid, He cannot stop He cannot slow down He cannot give up Because ***** Kurt Cobain he has to tell the story of what really happened that day Rwanda April 7th 1994

"Till death do us part," Red lips behind a cereal spoon Blue eyes and pupils like dimes The moon is her spotlight Glinting off of pale hair "Till death do us part," Layers upon layers of clothing You always felt too skinny You painted a skeleton And called it 'self portrait' "Till death do us part," She was starved for sunlight on the hottest days You let her stretch in the rays As you wilted comfortably in the shade And Frances skipped from dark to light, keeping the equilibrium that you couldn't give her "Till death do us part," The greenhouse above the garage Where you swallowed your final breaths A lethal dose of ****** coursing through your veins And a bullet in your skull Did she laugh as you fell apart? It's better to burn out Than to fade away

You're gone for the world wasn't worthy enough to be any longer trodden by your feet. You're gone I grieve not for I believe in another world less cruel and grim than this we shall meet. @mosquitoism

first breath, Eyes wide open take some time, Enjoy the moment, when you aren't born because it's safe inside the utero, inside the mother of all children - and come along, we're not alone, we are together see to eye, stay awake, put the past behind your shoulders, as you are, as you ought to be, to say the words you need to mean them, & wipe the powder off your nose, & bring some light to the windowless houses grey is a color. That's fine, but how come we're not envolved, I like that you don't like my favorite colors because mine is already taken. and he lives in a car, with a record out there, crying and refusing to live in such human state, such is his condition, and he remembers Andy Wood, but he doesn't care anymore, because his life is better without him. and those who stay will never understand why the dragon spread his wings & took all of them to far away from this frail stage.
