for badwords how did you enter my inner streaming? merely, me, in a momentary, I wrote of mixed emotes when  lying prone next to a beloved, but my inner working you invade, comprehending my thoughts while processing, in ways I instant recognition their total accuracy, yet, how could this be, analysis, so close, *********** and yet methodically betraying the processes that lived live in on,y my inners, where though shared, one thought, believed, my disguise would go unpenetrated, and fear to inquire, how your insights can penetrate my insides, the very tension that drive me to compose, the very anxiety that must be creatively disposed, a poem is my explication, a shedding of sensations,, and in a calculus of portrayal, you relay me to the outsiders, in ways that leave me, naked, stumbling, wondering have I gone too far, or not nearly far enough, how much should I relay, is there a boundary, wondering through which aperture, which end, of the telescope, I should conduct, utilize for my self-examination

portray, betray, yet relay
My thoughts They can get scary It's threats, more often than not, not empty It's hard to convey what they say They whisper a fray of cliche self hate with 41 years to work it's way to this level of decay It's all consuming, engulfing then removing positivity 'til it's so scarce I'm left to pretend mostly A sparse landscape of depravity naturally Clear cut to make way for the fear factory The soul fractures, now solely fear so to ward off lonely I let it stay Not knowing how to play Leaves me in the dark on what's at play My thoughts They aren't worth a penny My two cents is free I'd pay you to take them all completely Is there a chance it gets messy? Abso-freakin-lutely But oh what a hero you could be Imagine it up on a marquee, shining brightly "Some dumb fuuck, a heros story" (A family movie) I'll be the monkey in the middle, come meet me Come greet me and see purgatory, my state of temporary suffering and predetermined misery What I'm forced to portray is only done cause I must obey or pay some ******* up penalty Knowing I am the game and the prey, feeding a self-righteous gluttony How much more do you want from me? How much more must I contort for thee? ©2024

Obviously No one needs Special devices to Focus somewhere In the unknown And get lost Gaze into the eyes Of beloved For a little more And find The entire universe So much to offer

It was a sweltering sunny day on Sunday Sitting on the wooden chair behind the Window Painting the canvas & realizing that She's In thought of one As if that one could portray like a Rainbow, So that, She tries hard In good faith If only her attitudes cling Even to the small things!

If you peer into my heart Completely you'd understand How I care about your soul I truly miss your hand I you borrow my irrational brain The one obsessing over you You would discover your presence is my escape The past haunts all I do There is burning through my veins Too much you and your essence Wish you owned the same skeleton You would feel I'm not happy in your absence Nothing what it appears to you I have made sure of that Going through familiar motions Stability only an act I cannot be as strong as I want to Not allowed to show real dismay I force a smile to portray a happy face Can't live this charade one more day

Portray
By Arcassin Burnham Beauty in the mist, lights are sparkling, And on earth your little dreams come crashing down like project apartments, while they let us lay in fear, they make money off black inmates, then the public sees that **** and think that's all we're good for is crime and hate, what did the president say? say hes gonna make america great? Man you ain't **** a good job, Are you even trying anyway? thats another display of hate? bet you people regret it, and there no resets, gonna have to take it in and embed it, we might be heading for a fake world war, don't hear it cause I said just research it, Guess that's why I wanna float on to another world, I honestly think that they make God to have these strict rules when in reality he really wants all of you up there, aka high chair, aka ladder, aka stairwells express, aka the life after.

What The Mist Is Like
How can you know me,     When you've only seen my skin There is not way     I could possibly portray     More than a distorted fragment         Of the twisted universe             That resides inside my head. I try  my dear,     Oh how hard I try! But it is futile you see,     For how can I form words         To convey who I am When I myself Do not even understand Who I Have Become.

How Can You Know Me?
By Arcassin Burnham Sweet embrace choosing like the holy Grail, Let the rain fall , my soul is not for sale, Not really fun when you burn in hell, Demons talking to you like fresh meat in jail, Citrus feeling minds with all things not from earth, Drawn to a love no certain than a common worth, Even since you been a mistake on the day of your birth, Suicide is something you don't really wanna blurt, Nearing to the end like do you see a vision? It was pleasant all before , don't bring any tension, Envisioning a utopia, when they buried ya, Riding in a silver Toyota, in a frozen tundra, If the kitchen knives don't drop, Dreamt of this your whole life, now you can't stop, Don't know how I missed this part of agony , it was a tragedy, It's your face they'll crop, Red doors open when you see the error of your ways dying like Obese guy laughing at athletes, It'll take you two whole lifetimes just to get under my skin and walk Over me, But you are below me , I'm more of a man than any ignorant demon would Ever Portray, The taste of these and the taste of those will leave me immortal, I won't die today.

Berries Part 2
I sketch a face strong of bone 'tis my love 'tis my own planes of cheek line of jaw insistent flesh sinews raw something female in your long curls but it's plain that you like girls I consider as I mix the paint I wish to render, captivate your sweet fleshtones rich and warm The tan quality of arm mixing pink burnt umber, gold I use brushstrokes deft and bold a touch of green 'round your eye's fire black pupils swollen with desire chestnut hair and eyes of blue I have finally captured you won't put this painting on my wall 'nor place it in an attic small I'll place it in my heart's museum a room where I will always see him he'll be near I'll bring him hence always in remembrance in him life I will embue he is the imagery of YOU SoulSurvivor (C) 4/10/2016

a portrait of my lover
When put to words They do not feel the same. When said out loud, Come across as burned out flames- They seem as somewhat distorted, Not what You see inside, Rather concealed and tamed, The intensity not quite portrayed, On the equivalent high tide.

Depicting Emotions
Age, a concept, we're doomed to portray, to judge our virtues, which year is best, We'll hang it and proclaim each doorway, and **** it to hell, when the soul has to rest.
