After those first years, they took him in for a second term and now he barks a lot more Okay, we're not unwilling neighbours and throw him a ball Oh dear, he already has it and with a lot of noise, he forces us to give in to him again He gets bored easily and can't stand being ignored, so we take turns dressing up in our best clothes to serve as ball boys In between, the dog bites a few people on the legs and poops wherever he pleases

The neighbour's dog
The only thing one tends to see Is the person I don't want to be Silly me Obviously The fruit has spoiled on this tree Despite me Or in spite of me I keep coming back but leave empty Mostly disappointment only Ignoring the warning from the Canary I can't stand steady Amongst a broken levee I don't have the energy To be angry Or for that matter, happy Both weigh far too heavy Forced to take a knee Taken from me Is the thought of ever being free Of me Not even a possible maybe My full name and bio in permanent ink on generic stationary There's no further in front of me That's what's really scary Trust me ©2024

~•§•~ Trust Me ~•§•~
What is this, This twisting thing my face is doing It feels so unnatural My lips curling this way is disturbing And they're doing it all on their own What is this? The corners seemingly defying me, Lifting and contorting I can't seem to stop it People are reacting, Though not retracting What is this? Ah, nevermind, There it goes, Quickly spoiling, Back to all stale looking Back to the real thing Let's promise to never do that again No more of this... ...ever ©2024

you build me a castle but you give me no room to be myself to feel myself

castle
If I were like air then I'd breathe you. As I sit in the the bowl and observe. I'd never succeed in the quest that I'm freed. I'll rot though, if I had the nerve. Just take me and pick as I ripen. Bite me, as nectar escapes to your chin. Enraptured by spell to entice you again. And feast on sweet secrets within. But leave me and pass with your ignorance. Overlooked as I signal my true end of days. For I will repay you with sorrow. As my beauty fades, waving farewell decays.

Who will enlighten little Bo-Peep. On the surface compliant sheep, Though breading monsters underneath, and once the sheep have grown their teeth, Were-sheep will have their share of meat. Bo-Peep! ****** wolves derived from sheep!

Routine
Here come the confectionary clouds Packed like powdered sugar And They Drizzle All Over Her Hankering Hungry Heart Little quicksilver has A bit of a sweet tooth And grubby hands well into A box of Quality Street

Friday morning Already ironic. Casually sitting in a taxi cuz today my history thesis is happening. A kid was hit on the crossing, laying there with the only three people around who called the ambulance. A few meters on the other side of the road, The side the kid wanted to get to, A man casually arranging tables in the betting house. Watching the desperation in my eyes as I watch the scene before me. Now is stuck in meaninglessness. I heard later that day that the kid lives and hopefully so he won't stop. So now I'm stuck in pink doored bathrooms and the road the trams pass by. Thinking how desperation is hope because fear is motivation and anger's the fuel. How much of a human I am, thinking the sole  existence of life is somewhat philosophical. Cuz that kid on the street and that bathroom I was in, are both poetry. And I'm nothing but an observer. Observing, Things before others realise. And still what value has this moment in time? Almost 100km per hour, I could die right? I could die by my own means so of course 100km is just a simple factor. I wanna die by my own means. No car hitting me, no sudden disease. I want the odds that are against me to at least respect my timing. Though it's selfish. I've been wanting to write about that kid for a while, just couldn't get myself to. Like a letter to myself I'd never wanna send. Naturally running out of fuel, life itself slips away in front of my eye. So in the most mundane mindset, I cannot stop it. Ever

Ruined Youth
We cover her skin with long trails of asphalt roads We fill her waters with plastic waste and burnt out cigarette butts We overwhelm her atmosphere with toxic smoke in a million different ways We throw bombs at her body while fighting with one another We bury burning garbage beneath her flesh, hide our waste beneath her flesh, constantly build build build beneath her flesh We **** her animals, we **** her trees, we **** her oceans and her seas. We **** her land and her sky. All she did was give us a place to call home. How selfish can we possibly be? Take care of the earth. She needs you. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

The joys of solitude have been spoiled by the love I have for you. Walking silently in places unknown use to excite and awaken my traveling bone. Anymore it just reminds me that my love is alone. So wherever I travel be it land be it sea It be not my home if it lacks you and me.

Spoiled Solitude
A bitter boy you are, with twisted words and twisted fangs, sour lips and ****** knuckles; boy, you sure do love a good fight. That's an awful lot of snickering for a guy who's surely bluffing, and I'm quite certain you know as well as I, you're full of **** but your tangy hands and acid fingers seem so daunting when you cast out all your hateful "truths". I'm torn between all the love and all the hate, it's inevitable that they'd congeal into a sordid mixture and so it was a bitter boy spoiled.

Bitter Boy
It took until now thin and mid 20s to comprehend that as a child I was and as an adult still very much am spoiled little childhood traumas to mine                no festering drama                no shrouded mess calm can bury like a gravity blanket                too hot or too cold                I complain I have never clawed at my belly in hunger felt my body fall off in jeweled pieces but I have at times been hungry adulthood is a lake blue black and endless                rife with mudtraps                     brimming with viperheads                          scraping at the surface water I am spoiled I have not known pain but I knew a person whose eyes prodded                like nails through jello my insides and cut tendrils of muscle and delighted in the stitching back                the pushing of                     needle through                          meaty bits some time after I was grown but flailing madly as a comet poised for landfall a beetle in a dust storm a child with its first scraped knee my flesh yearns for the needle and for skin all smooth and scarred and like the color of night                singing like the color of night like sky like light a rapturous blue

Boy
***** girls with lousy guys, drives me crazy Maybe you shouldn't feel too sorry. Old Sally, so **** good-looking but a pain in the *** "Oh, darling, I love you." "You're probably the only reason I'm in New York right now" I told her I loved her; it was a lie. felt like five hundred thousand years, looking at all the phonies. Ivey League guys with snobby voices, a witty bunch of actors drinking their tea and rubbernecks stand around to watch. I was a ******* wolf, just wondering for intellectual conversation. Someone, Anyone! Just give old Caulfield the time to spoil your evening because he's not sorry at all.

Spoiled apologies - found poetry
I always looked up to you I'm not talking about your height For your ability to hold me And make everything seem alright From a young age you spoiled me rotten Still do, though I moved out and live on my own I will always be your little girl No matter how much I have grown

Your Little Girl
Poor Annaliese, with no knowledge about life You lived your life sheltered Out of human strife You bathe with diamonds and rose scents With golden spoon on your tongue And a lot of dishes to pick upon. Lovely fabrics; red, yellow and blue Glass slippers— Cinderelly you're true Smile Annaliese, Show your warmth Show ignorance, Let them know you're proud Wave side to side, Gentle curtsy my dear Show off your wealth, Know no fear Silly Annaliese, When you laugh they shouldn't hear You sheltered brat, arrogant and rude You dance so well and fake good Goodness gracious, what would happen if you stepped out of your castle Will you be able to survive the riot? The rattle? **** Annaliese, learn to live! Stop being dependent on what your majesty gives

I know a girl, everyone does. All she wants is fun. She won't be having cereal today, she'll have everything under the sun. She don't read the paper. She don't watch no news. Why would she care about someone elses troubles if they will never buy her shoes? She don't need no man. She don't need no gun. So many rides to take her there, she don't walk, much less run. She's got no time to cry. She's won't listen to the Blues. Nothing in the world matters to her, unless it's something she can use. She has lots of friends. She'll dance with them all night. But she cares not that they ain't real, cuz she's forever high as a kite. She don't care about no art, unless it's something she can wear. The thing she loves to look at most is in the mirror there. She's just loves making trouble. She's always causing a stir. But she don't bother about anything in the world, cuz it revolves around her. It's almost sad to watch her live her life, always seeking to ring her own bell. A living, breathing, girl on a mission to fill a vacant, soulless shell. She stares down into her pond, from her big ivory tower. She'll never be happy and even less so, as a helpless little flower.

The Little Sister of Narcissus
like spoiling bread my control is beginning to crumble I use to be so strong I could walk for days But I blindly ran due to being afraid and now all my legs do is stumble I'm dying to cry out release the toxins in my head but my words never pass a mumble

A yellow bird sits on my knee It says "Hello, I am reincarnated mother" She was dead picking the poisoned flower From the shelf of her wayward children We have no way of knowing right from wrong We will go on living as rebellious bird daughters Flitting from heart to heart Seeking shelter in men's broken parts Crying when we cannot start Laughing when we finish money Eating away our sadness Motherless daughters without any stress Trading our mother's feathers for a new dress

Frozen in place Filled with despair Looking back You never did care You got what you want To me that wasn't fair I worked hard But never got a share So why, I don't understand Why you throw everything away I wouldn't dare!
