#harmless
yes sir
I am here, present, TICK
missing home and my solitary room
to hide this fragile mind
an oyster without it's shell
TEACH ME
penetrate my brain
bring me life knowledge
make me a person
make me a man
hard knocks and bullying
WELCOME
to hone coping skills
need to know how to
absorb a punch
take the pain
hold it in, no crying
WORDS
barbed, arrows, knives
that stab but make no wound
nothing visible
no blood no trauma
everthing must be ok
when I think of you
do you remember me
filed under
HARMLESS
never come to anything

An auspicious occasion,
It becomes a suspicious one.
You want to obliterate it off your memory,
But end up trying to illiterate it instead.
A pinnacle of politeness,
Becomes a pineapple instead.
Malapropism is such a nice phenomenon!

This trap is filled with poetic tricks…
Sorry, but I knew it…
I can sense your devilish intention,
Through your charms
But I'm still there…
close to your heart, trying to
Teach it how to be kind and harmless…
Also, still,
This pain is familiar.
Those tricks are similar.
But I got used to horrific nightmares…
I would not ask you to stop.
I would keep my midnight prayers
For the earth to make a safe crack
Between our contradictory intentions…
Go home; leave me for my beautiful
nightmares and that ancient level of pain.
I’m totally fine with them.

Shadows are the darkness in the light.
They're harmless during the day,
but can be scary at night.
So if you're alone,
And the shadows give you a fright, Now you know their weakness.
Now, you can fight.

The Blindness monotony,
Hurl your jokes my way.
Your play ball strikes as stone,
Not very much unlike that which is buried deep inside my heart,
And never shown.
Harmless, is in the eyes of the beholder, my friend.
Your jokes,
Are my demons.
Your entertainment,
Is my downfall.
So all I ask,
Is that you walk a mile in my mind,
Then maybe you'll see,
Harmless jokes hurt sometimes,
But don't mind me.

or even on the loo
'bout a lover ye knew
thinking of gentile or jew
now tis that does hew
a friendship that mite grew
cuz quality gals so far n few
like finding a miniature red
white striped emu
like eeyore - feel in ivy blue.
---------------------------------------
sorry for all dis bather

& hope no words o mine base
so lemme cut to the Chevy driven chase
to relish c ying ur face
yi yi yippee - thy grace
****** desires to gather
at what e'er pace
cuz dis haint no race
for us to trace
an arc &
compete with lovers
that for e'er frieze on grecian vase.
---------------------------------------
which day
whether sunny or gray
as high r low clouds lay
like pair a moors
or nags in may
would be okay
to...play
oye vay
and enjoy
hot ravenous ja way?
---------------------------------------

hi yam hankering Asian urge gent wuss
celibate lee married, a zealous adult tour us
desires to tuss
sill with a female,

PLEASE be patient with him. In due time, his ability to calm down and control the erectile fusillade will chime with YOUR ******
HE well deserves to end this celibate state and get requisite COMEUPPANCE!

Hello Sin Come on In!
I thoroughly enjoy plying (like a baker kneading dough) these slender and smallish fingers at the juncture of neck and shoulders. As many cumulative kinks would be ironed out. Muscles and tendons on either side of the spine (from stem to stern) privy to tender loving care. Special emphasis would be given to any particularly sore area. Perhaps an especially noticeable ache exists along the upper or lower back? Just the appropriate amount of (gentle) pressure - from the heal of one hand or the other - called into action.
Might forearms or biceps be in sore need of massage? Gluteus Maximus saddle sore? How about thighs? Any other parts of your anatomy require skin nourishment? This willingness to manipulate knotty points of tension offered for passionate physical *********** Game? No need to think this hum bull guy wood MONOPOLIZE you NOR doth ye need to feel SORRY if nada one iota of interest exists!

unsure...
what this free thinker
who lives ~10 miles north east
of valley forge, penna ought to write
also not knowing
if rambling comes a
cross as trite
maybe filled with angry under
panting tones awash
with spittle and spite
veering considerably
left of political right
which liberal democratic
leanings correct quite
an attempt to come across
as mature and polite
hoping to induce interest
to get together
some day or night
discussing topics
profound or light
or...letting sexually intimate
fantasies (of mine)
take supersonic flight
restoring darkened psyche
with high octane
self generated energy bright.
only one finger
used to hen peck
and types this
four tee billionth acre
doth, dis dude
real soon will take a break
eat sum petrified cake
like an ancient yodel,
ring ding or drake
interestingly enough
can cure any earache
with nary an edible flake
mebbe jump in a
poker face booked - mud flat lake
steal away imagining to make
out with you,
a moist meaty milky shake.
i yam ma nada trip pin
jist over dose sin
n wanna marry gin.
star-date = 9999 anno domino;
time = 1700: 39:_ pm
u r a be u tee
only in imaginary will i see
u re joy sing -
for me
as glee
from one male sassy thee
sets passions free.
like one pac man on a roll
bell ringing canon,
fast moving caboose
or mad as hell
headless goose
this josh hing drake
haint butta loose
goose
whereby moose
uh d utter creatures
tink i lack mental juice
i.e. ja dat - right duh gray matter
of dis knit wit,
the "infamous" deduce
cob bulled with
whirled wide web
peppered with rotten cous cous
& find my rye ting
an absolute nuisance
ready to call doktor Zeus.

Are words harmless? Can they ever be benign?
Between you and I?-
And, how many times has the Soul mated and re-mated?
Tearing, scarring, and numbing the connection.
Is that how and why, we keep this distance?
Or, Love, is it fear of perfection?

the ***** tastes like
an untamed firework
which attacks my throat
but I like it
the ***** feels like
the reason behind
all the poems I wrote
but I need it
the ***** is like
glitter set in my veins
which helps me to float
and I love it
the ***** is you
and until you were gone
I just didn't know
we should not mix

"What's wrong with asking?
It's only a harmless question."
"It may be a harmless question,
But you may not get
A harmless answer."
