#formless
Infamy An attempt to cheat mortality And live forever an effigy Uranus, his jester privilege The worm that turns Infinite streams An inner world Which is? Formless, Limitless aurelian thread; Immortality’s proxy.

The Worm That Turns
As a song without words- Shall I sing, forevermore? These shapeless chords That give way to convey Statement, free from form. Much the same as one who Must scream, yet is unable?

I am going to pluck that illuminated corner of the night sky and graft it to my palm. I am sorry, precious sky, that we have been so distant for so long.

Of all the loves in the history of the world, ours was a one that could not be. Like a newborn child dying the moment it is born, like a flower dropping to the ground the moment it blooms, like a fire put off the moment it begins burning, Our affections were robbed of a life! But maybe that is why, this blank space, this nothingness would cherish our love... Because out of all the loves that stood, ours stood out more. It was not a smooth trail of ink that took the shape of letters. It was a blot of ink, a gigantic one that could not take a form and yet left behind a stain for the world to remember-Of a love that stirred hearts only to put them to sleep!

The Stain
The mind clings to forms to hold against the silence to guard itself from you the secret deadly enemy hanging out on your own front stoop winkin’ at your little sister and begging for an invite to dinner you can let him pass too onto the vapor of a conjured illusion you can let the words coming from here get stronger you can hear me more clearly and louder the self that you buried under the rot of yesterday’s tomorrow all that chatter is of no matter you can tell But don’t tell of the nonsense of nothings wrapped in desire that’s old news from days when newspapers were read that talk takes the time of a 20th century backpacker hiking Truth’s trail NOW is the only time that there is for waking from the ringing of the bell don’t stomp out the silence the one answer screaming the reality one is Only in silence you remember the key to the treasure in the chest holding your heart crafted in love isn’t that the whole happiness quotient wrapped up like a perfect peace package I just can’t comprehend the human species and its endless repeating crimes how many life sentences does one have to get to see only the Self and be free burn off the rest of the pride every lyin’ thought’s last roar into dust forms can’t hold true life it’s real light making ghostly forms known

My formless fear has its cycles And it lives within me like a shadow My formless fear is a desire If it was a bird it would be a crow My perception shifts. Knwoledge is a trap , so is the art to percieve And to manipulate fate living by " evrything is written" as a philosophy My choices aren't mine , i am just a tool My vision shifts , so does the true truth My allies are intangible , though i am objectively measurable A fair creator would only discard such a rebel Everything happens for a reason , i trust life fully But i dont want to take responsibilty. I am just a tool everything is written I exist through a knwoldge that is hidden I trust life as i see and understand My formless fear takes form as a pen in my hand After all the writer was only a man.

Formless Fear
inescapable loveless years pile on top of each other like cars, windowless in a derelict lot. without giving in to easy despair, he moves through them as empty as the wind blowing through formless sky.

lesson #1: in the beginning, all poems on Earth were formless on blended knee, the approaching, humility, raging, barely   tempered by a gale force need, the forthcoming yoga pose of compose you have urgings, mostly in a blink of an eye, then going, gone notions, the writing is so a losing effort, you turn the paper’s aperture sideways hoping to get an inside straight insight, but the poem refuses to come, the creation ****** delayed is torturous and the poem birthing, even worse so you revert to basics to give the formless a shape, recalling  a child’s learning that in the beginning: “the earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.…” so you insert a single sheet of 20Lb bond paper, sliding the typewriters carriage smooth swift   over to the starting gate hell’s bell, typewriter machine smell erotically exciting creative fluids boiling, typing, laughing out loud, forming entree to the hinted hallway of a womb opening to a crafting with three words:                                in the beginning

write learning lesson #1: in the beginning, all poems on Earth were formless
Here's a poet's plight: To force words to come is a fight; Gorgeous nothings hold no light; Meaning shall not bow to might. Thirty thousand words or more – All just sounds heard before; But somewhere deeper there's a door, A certain feeling from some core. Or, in clearer words: I have nothing Great to say, but That shouldn't stop me anyway From speaking when I feel I must; No other way to reverse this rust. Perfection is a savage Curse to ravage the mind 'Round and round in circles, growing blind. But of all the stones and stars Or overpriced, shiny cars The greatest gift of all you give Is that you let me gently live. You accept me as I am, Tarred and scarred and marred with gray, There's a thousand whispers, but they're all okay When they won't be judged anyway. There's this frustrating little tic Where no words can quite click Because no lovely language can compress or stress enough meaning into a tiny little space That could give a hint of a trace Of the meaning that was felt. Suffice to say it seems somehow insufficient, Nothing Great, simply true: You're wonderful as you.

Introverted Feeling
Pompously floating among every Liquid, Cola, whiskey or an exorbitant Cocktail, Forms multitude, plain to Sculpted, Simpering secretly over water's Assail. Slowly with the passing of Time, As the temperatures Rise, Losing its position of Prime, Melting away in its own Design.

formless form
Choose another bitter morning routine - whether from cold, coffee, or compression, As in "man, I really need to just relax and decompress" But without the last bit happening. Choose to let it sink in until you can bite it off, Choose the pressure because it feels like home, Choose to dally, choose self-sabotage, Choose kicking at the gears of your routine until Something warps under the strain until It fits like you never believed it would. Choose the long way into work, a million faces Nodding off behind their steering wheels, The city's symphony still trying to get in tune, Still trying to harmonize with, with, with, with Whatever gets them to their job still sane, all Trying to dance to beats only they can hear, Howling out careworn verses they scrawled By trailing their lives along the road: The rhythm of the city is discord and hell.

"The Mystery a Fear" A wonder is the mystery The mystery a fear. Countries unexplored bereave We must travel on. Dream a simple holoworld Safety mist of brain. Dream is but a dream, a craft Sculpted formless mind. Lost the future gained a mote All the unexpressed. Never seen, to near to touch Thoughtless only known.

The Mystery
He exists in ****** duality Dwelling in ********* lips and tongue She is born of blackest dimension’s strum When the rifle conquest bellows loud And slaughter’s hum be murderous roar It rivers in winding bends Of purest human shale The destroyer’s chorus in innocent’s wail Clammy skin of mistresses pale Chant in rounds this king curse brain Her obsidian Charon His violent game It thousand claws It needle veins Sand drowning corpses in rotting flame It eldest spirit from ancient plains She blood unholy He flesh unchained Forever wholly thirst insane Dismembering life In nomine Essence Essence Essence

I changed myself for you, It was too late. You’d already said your goodbyes Before I smoked my first bowl Before I decided to let loose Before I chose to jug that plastic bottle of whiskey I told you I needed you, It was too late. I treated it like a game Because I thought that’s what you wanted A girl with her head in the sky And her heart full of limericks. You never told me what you wanted So I made a person up I hid who I was from you And realized later Everything could have worked out If I had been myself.

The Inevitable Change
My body will die but I will always be, They could lock me up but I'll remain free, I could lose my eyes and still I would see, That anything could happen and I'll still be me, I am not my thoughts, I am not my looks, I am not the bad I've done or the chances I have took, I am not the scared little boy whose knees once shook, I am not any knowledge I've learn in any books, I am a kind hearts biggest fan, And I happened to be born as a man, I'm a well orchestrated plan, Ask my identity I'll say I am.

The likes of you I can't describe, Yet I love to eat between your thighs. The melody you spake to me Unfolds my greatest sovereignty. I crave to quaff all of your spit, And swallow every drop of it. Don't cheat me of your tasty flesh, Those bare and supple ****** ******* Your eyes that follow my firm gaze, While we kiss and lick and misbehave. I need to feel each piece of skin, Smashing girl and boy parts over and over again. It's such a treat to eat you whole; I'm obsessed with eating 19-year-olds.

You were totally something else. Like a calm respite overcoming an instance of excitement. Magic and other prime words that can dictate the inarticulate adjectives that was this afternoon. Happiness and pleasure. A coexistence. To coexist. Soy.

The clock gets me. It comes to me in the middle of the night Pulls back the sheets and says, "Hey fucko." Then it lifts open my sobby wet sand-encrusted lids, It knows when I'm trying at sleep, pumping quarters Like I was swallowing yawns, sometimes I try to squint Harder and take a dream to the next level, whatever The next level is. It's like Friday night when I wanted to go Out to do something, whatever something is. Because I know that if I don't I'll miss that thing that's so Important that if I were to miss it the clock wouldn't come for me Again. And on Tuesday's when I'm knotting a dream around 2 o' clock In the morning, my web-footed adventure, say, killing your Boyfriend, say Fighting the Nazis, say, Rediscovering that you sent nudie pics to That rando guy we met in that club that lives in Prague- I throw the clock at the ******* wall. Because who knows, I make the bed wrong Or maybe I don't cook right, or look right, or Smile the right way at the right Time. And you start thinking that I have to die. The bane of my existence is an imagined feat in your Walnut-sized brain, slowly numbing us while we're Supposed to be, say Listening to the rich, Oxford voice of David Attenborough. Instead you're thumbing through that index of CVS cashiers, just trying to find a scruffy face To flip your digits to, your homemade justification. It becomes A feat, an unjust cause of mine to Get it right, that imaginative and artificial bit you've Been sewing up Monday twilight. That's when I go out and jaw your sister, somewhere between A smirk on your face and a bit of anger at the end of your sentences.

We know you, and your little dark colors too. A picture book in your purse penned in mustaches on the full faces of your fare. We call you from bed, 8 o' clock in the morning, dog-light you slow wander the Peruvian darkness making jellyfish tentacles with your hands while you feel your way through Salem. We're colder than night and we wake thrice the bits of your day gig. You collapse in a green field of dandelion where thrushes drown you in Brown. We gorge ourselves on mango slivers, pineapple yolks, a half of grapefruit. We know you are close to your end. On the tops of the cities you call to your lycan friends, the half-sick and muted bray allures them to you, from Bratislava and Mimon, the thoroughfare through the suq. We wait. The foregone untold, the beep beep jug jug swoop sound of the nightingale, in all her dun glory, we wait. Then, as if descending through the moor-lounging silver smoke, the cool stickiness to your fingertips; the fog. We are there when the blue-less and smoky screen surrounds you, when you shank the auburn Scot hair of the sly fox that stalks, say, a cigarette from your lips. When you take the corners swiftly, gadding the streets. The prize king of vulpicide. You rub its matte fur against your bristly gray beard. And while you lay in your lumps of twelve carat flesh you bleat and you nag. One day you will never come home.
