#shambles
The shattered cup,
Licks my floor;
The saliva escapes from the porcelain teeth,
And freshens the room
With cocoa air.
The reddish cake
rests on the plateau--
Reaching out for the fork at the plateau's end
to cut through velvet flesh,
lay across the seven seas.
The stifled burner houses quarrelsome crowns;
A jagged couple duels for the silver throne.
Til the kingdom melts in flame, and embers
stain the silver in a veil of ash.
The breath of a dying land
Covers my shambled kitchen,
And the fragrance entangles itself
with the immigrant air.

I’ve pushed things to the edge
And I know my faults are clear
But now the horrors sinking in
You may no longer be near
For what it’s worth I’m sorry
I’m filled up with remorse
And all the tears that fall down my face
Are from a greater force
I turned into a monster
A kind you’ve seen before
And now our love is on the line
And you’re almost out the door
I know these words are empty
That they often can betray
But I want you here beside me
And there’s more I wish to say
I’m sorry that I hurt you
I live with it each day
And the pain that I put you through
Is not my loving way
The fear I have is growing
Of losing you forever
I’ll put it all on the line for you
With passion in each endeavor
I still will make mistakes
And I’ll mess up as people do
But of any mistake I’ll regret the most
Is the one where I lose you
So I come to you in shambles
And I hope that you will see
That I want you forever
That I love you, devil lady

Hello Tier thirteen
Keep your cages nice and clean
Purse your lips and nod.

I am underwater how do I chase?
Please forgive my blockings being unfollowed saddens me
I am only human make mistakes
Trying to understand your poetry without seeing your face
as the mirrors fogs I pushed to defog and unmask
I am a realist in attitude
vission depiction is hard to do
seeing across the cyber space cold computer screen with clarity is exausting however fun
I guess I lost it forgive me
what I searched for desperatly
to find and hungrily devour
has found me instead
the final blow was executed
bittersweet the object of my
obsession has withdrown
a sacred tree tored in half
I remain changed wiser
a crying sorrowful nymph
bent fallen in this battlefield arena
my world in shambles remains
my sacred tree unreachable is
I struggle to breath as
I come up for a little fresh air
and a mighty hand pushes
me down
down under water again
and again
I appologize have mercy on my soul beloved loyal reader how much more wiser thou art
I hope whats on the other side is better than on this mirrored life of mine.
understand me please I pleed
that I may gather strenght
before I go hence and be no more

Clamber! You are a Shambles
Scale the scree
Tilt the axis of your slope
Up turn your gravity
(It's a matter of urgency)
I want to break your brand
And scare you up a heart
...but that task is for you
And to be achieved
In your time
I still feel criminal as an onlooker

*Your intriguing smile
Left me in shambles again
I’m caught in your web*

I kissed you as the stars fell because I knew it better depicted our love than anything else could. We shined so brightly so quickly, but like all beautiful things, we turned into shambles. I swear though, I never felt more love than our one o'clock screaming phone calls and alcoholic lullabies.

Just when you think you're doing okay,
just when you think your life might finally be headed in the right direction,
someone from your past walks by in the grocery store.
They don't have to be someone who was particularly special or important to you or your life at any point.
They don't even have to be a friend.
Regardless of who they are,
they never fail to remind you that your life is not actually ok--
it's in shambles,
and suddenly that oh-so-genuine smile on your face
cuts into you like so much shattered glass,
because your life *****
and nothing you have done up to this point can actually change it at the end of the day.

I converse with the insane,
And I see dead people,
I seek no fame,
Or salvation from church steeples,
I am alone,
Yet in my head we are many,
A clamoring of voices,
Above the anarchy of it all,
This world is broken, a place where life is a gamble,
And familial bonds are broken down in shambles,
I am a grateful dead, of a time long forgotten,
And like that I shall remain, till my bones are long rotten.

Watching night step-sitters staring at each passerby
abiding time as if counting sheep stepping with the city's cadence
Hearing sirens alarming in their BEWARE BLARING;
persistent fearfulness for evil and citizens securities
Staring-walking-bodies searching a barren land prostrating
before the great needle
Patched streets and decaying sidewalks by flooding night lights lay surreal
DECAYING fingers of poverty playing its fingers into every crack, crevice; into every pore, into every cell member
into one's whole being
Sounding the hip-hop generation street corners of hustlers
jiving away the night
The hustled and hustlers' overwhelming struggling for power; being surrounded by red brick and stone; being incased in poverty
Pounding city hysteria;
at times laying silent in sleepless depth
by the waning gradualness;
anytime readying itself to ERUPT
