for AV the irony noticed asap, but the poem notion irritant was too nouveau, had to ripen~fester before it plucked sufficiently at my unconscious with Now! I am ready for a vine ripe picking, un beau joulais this fascination about, how we self-categorize, our wisdoming perspectives when looking up, or looking down, trying to grow, and not to drown, as the new advances come at us as fast as a new memory chip, faster than our logged but fading Ancien Régime memories disappear, the definition of ancient, is me, and yours, will be additive, grow as you witness changes that me and the grave will happily successfully avoid perspective is a two way continuum, just please keep on being an almost ready red tomato, still absorbing sun and knowledge like the fields of sunflowers of Provence, between Carpentras and Avignon…

She is only 22, and marks herself as Pre-AI
All the scabs have flaked off, leaving traces of wounds, stitched silent. All that's here now are faint scars, phantoms of pain, that still lingers beneath the skin. Little marks, proof, that things were bad, at some point.

What's Left Behind
And there lay the book’s ripped pages Now stained blood-red Jingles and rivers of thoughts Fills my busy head I throw my words, But they sink and fall like a rock And through everythig, They continued to mock “I’m sure you got a hundred, You’ll be fine” When all I really got was a 99 Yet I knew that was enough And apparently others thought that too But it wasn’t enough Too show how smart I was as proof Because in reality, My mind is never still Through the thoughts of worries and stories Continuous headaches Solved with anything but advil The feeling of defeat Is a daily routine for me As nothing makes me feel better The comfort The Marks They all hurt me.

these stories we wear – scars, stretchmarks, wrinkles, are wrongly labelled as imperfections. but aren’t they such beautiful, courageous signs of how we have lived?

Pieces of a woman
I don’t understand why you love me I don’t think I ever will where I see stretch marks because my stomach swelled you see change where I see scars because life was too much and I needed to release some of the agony inside me you see healing where I am disgusted you are patient and sit with me in my pain and ask to hold my hand I don’t understand why you love me I don’t think I ever will but I understand that you do and even when your love is beyond me and I am scared of it I will be patient and I will sit with you in my discomfort and ask to hold your hand

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, the grass is not green:) too much to bare the polar twins resemblance in no fair now the run I understand still the twist of burning faces is what I can't ran wind free a second of nothing but me the blonds in uniqueness stand under the red light wait until the fear cripples and the big dog bites the tea boiling somewhere for no one to drink the ruined building leaves a pile to think pupils dilate thoughts shrink swallowing the bate yet the crowd remains I shower in public and fingerprints don't stain a red rock star barks stage shakes and throats are mic marked nice dreams but crap the plutonian not funny when children under your feet you have                                                                                  -------ravenfeels

Pluto's Blond Twin
Day after day, Night after night, I am struggling more, I can't see the light. It's a funny little thing, The thing stuck in my mind. How could I ever think, That there was a love I could find. I wonder sometimes, What others would say. They would see the scars, And they would walk away. Every single day, It gets darker. The darkness leaves a mark, Just like a marker. Day after day, Night after night, I am struggling more, I can't see the light.

It's been another good day, good thinkers thinkin' my way, asking if I knew what was the next word from the beginning, and I confess, to knowing, it depends, hangs dangling from a done right axiom, intentional aim at nothing, then divide by zero… this is that, life line upon line, here, a little there, there there is a better, a least, the minimum flex, and next is after never was, and once morer never seems impossible to grasp, almost as futile as holding the wind I walked in on, in a metaphor of reasoning, where war is dumb. Dumb dumb dumb, did you ever do you ever, for an instance feel this way, and wonder what if others felt this way, in stead, eh, steady, slow, instead of I know, go --- later they say waddayagnosis came upon 'em --- swallowed all their holy stories in one boom. like thunder, loud, like mountain, Krakatoa, yes, but death to the dinos LOUD listen, this is silence, the noise, hearing nothing while knowing, knowing, knowing in the bubble I breathe are all the noise-sounds-humms squeeks, whistles, caws that sound like laughing, hawks screaming I can see you, to something, you flash glance think you, that hawk has seen me here, in years past, this season of multiple thaws, multiple springs, rivulets cross our path as we read our way into evermore, the valley just beyond, like right next door, special place… can you hear me, feel me… I have no right might to say I know, but you know, that is the trick. Theory of mind, I know you wonder if I ever knew… the first rung step up, once more the alien lure, come and see…

Sometimes when I look in the mirror i'm startled to see me When I scrub off the pen lines odd bits of makeup all that's left is me I stand there bare and trembling these are the pieces of me and maybe I'm starving but at least I can feel myself smiling because these are the marks of my survival

There
There are memories attached, With each day, I keep re-living, Years go by, it does not matter. There are things I keep feeling, Your absence does not bother. I see the marks your feet leave, You wander but not that farther, Away from me, here is my plea, That on days like these i miss, A piece of myself taken from me. I am stuck in this lapse of time.

It can be beautifully awful or awfully beautiful with so many hurtful memories and untold stories but mostly are depressing and unwanted marks of the past

****** or Heroine?
"It'll heal someday," That's what they all say.                                        But I don't think they realize that some scars,                                        Don't just leave with the stars. How can I hope that it'll heal, If I can't even seem to admit how I feel?                                                                 You marked me,                                                                 And now I'll never be free.

Marks
The stretch marks on my thighs prove that I am a descendant of the mermaids and the gods. They shine and appear light on my skin like how the sunlight dances on the top of the water. They are signs that my body has endured and will continue to survive as the world moves on. They weave across my skin like the beginning of a beautiful tapestry that will only become complete in time. Learning to love myself again is hard, but my naked body is slowly becoming mine again. The stretch marks are art on my skin, my own natural tattoos. Let them show.

Watermarks
An unsettled feeling twists in my gut, as I think of everything I haven't done. Every ounce, fragile pound of weight set upon my bones, leaves me lethargic. There is more to my life than work. My friends are embodiments of love, that God or whoever made us, gave to ease our pain. I am caught in the joy of movement. The joy of travel. The idea that escapism is enough. But how do you escape your own brain? How do you escape your own body? This life is what you make of it. But I want to know what made me. Am I truly in control? Or is this all some sort of sick joke? My thoughts are made up of question marks. But question marks do not give me answers. And what if I get the answers I want but they don't settle right with me? What if this life is made up of more than question marks?

heavy thoughts.
I am a walking talking PSA for the incorrect way to live Number of dollars in my bank account matches how many ***** I give Counting change Pay for gas so I can go to work I get stuck behind the transit again I'm gonna go berserk! A little **** Start my day ..Or more like a lot The location of my pipe I've somehow forgot Mismatched socks Greasy hair Bloodstains on jeans For breakfast had coffee and a bag of jellybeans Bearing ***** nails and even dirtier mind A hole in my pantseams right in the behind Positive thinking not doing me any good Failed everything I have tried believing I could Negative thinking has not worked either Applied both Found success in neither The marks humans left on skin and my feelings Turned my pride into a pile of peelings Where am I going? Haven't a clue Trying to climb out of the hell I fell into Going crazy searching for an escape route That does not exist because there's no way out

Burning
The mirror holds my memories. I scan my body and relive the beauty. I see the evidence of your mouth on my skin; I remember the sharp sting of your teeth on my ******* The ache as your large hands squeezed my ******* until I arched up into your palms. The bite mark on my inner thigh reminds me of how my screams sound over the hungry noises you make when your mouth devours my center. The bruises on my hips are a record of the moment when my ride became too much and  the spasms of my ****** pulled you over the edge. The soreness of my muscles are a testament to the fact that once will never be enough. You leave your mark - a branding of ownership for all to see. I bask in the glow of being yours and wonder how long you will keep me this time; wonder how long before you throw me away again for something better. 03NOV2019
