drinking in all the moments tonight i am double dosing i can’t imagine something more potent you are my soulmate, devoted drinking in your presence i am folding, holding on to your power hiding behind the wood, trojan replaying your songs for hours

DON'T FALL for the FANCINESS of a FLASHY ADVERTISEMENT, CLICKING ON IT may be DAMAGING, and bring to you DISAPPOINTMENT. It may be a CLICKBAIT, SO, You BETTER BE AWARE, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, It might be a TROJAN VIRUS or MALWARE. So, just BE WEARY of this CLICKBAIT THEORY IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, Then AVOID CLICKBAIT IN A HURRY. If the ADVERTISEMENT seems FEASIBLE THEN THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY!! B.R. Date: 9/15/2024

CLICKBAIT
Every now and then, I'm hit with raw, overwhelming emotions Doesn't matter when, Feelings brought in are habitual Trojans That's just how it's been, Recklessly driving these knee-jerk reactions And here I am, once again, Arriving on the scene of irrational explosions No one but me noticin', I'm left to bleed out anytime my heart opens Dark thoughts start creepin' in, The next door to close might be the stage curtains ©2024

~•§•~ Last Curtain Call ~•§•~
No matter how well we confine our hearts in a fortress, surround it with formidable walls, and have no remorse - The Love will breach all like a Trojan Horse...

Trojan Horse
Lost on the plains of ancient Ílion, Treading the windswept soil and stone, I sense the ghosts of warriors and horsemen, Of dark-eyed women and jealous kings. Their history scattered, burned and ruined, Pressed by time and scavenging hordes, Yet restored to life in song and verse. When poets and imagining hearts were stirred To find heroes among brutal soldiers And reasons for violence masked as greed. Shades of blue lost to time reappear. In their winding brains goddesses walked, Holding an aegis made that bore a Gorgon’s face Or gods who guided arrows and chose the dead. Bards ever kept alive the rival gods Before whom King Priam bowed and Achilles defiled. Across the grape-blood waters of the Hellespont, Aphrodite savored her own victory and watched As Paris still kept the women she had given him. Love was not among her calculations Nor those of Zeus when he forbade hindrance By the gods, who yet battled among themselves. As mortal enemies fought the coming of allies. For ten years, ships and horses swarmed to aid The unbowed city, even Memnon and Penthesilia, Both slain by the sword for reasons then forgot, So their sacrifices failed to dent a lust for blood. Yet armies tired and war ended, as all wars do, Through fatigue or fire or the scattering of slaves. Now time has whitened the ruins and sands And Boreas sweeps away the shards of stain That dyed the cities’ walls and columns. The scarlet buried below Herculaneum is gone, And saffron gowns on dancing virgins, All the horses’ indigo manes and hyakinthos Sandals of Achilles, whose mother dyed them Before he sailed, forgetting his Stygian bath. He was clad in red to hide his blood, So when wounded, his men would not cower. Yet one arrow alone took his life; how telling That more valiant men lost theirs closer to the soul! Gone are the sheep, red-fleeced with madder And argamon robes of brides and Cybele’s priests. No sacrificial lambs or holy men walk here now, On the bone white land and relics of a kingdom, Yet the north wind, the lone god, continues to wail. March 5, 2020

Lost in Ílion or The Shades of Troja
Lost on the plains of ancient Ílion, Treading the windswept soil and stone, I sense the ghosts of warriors and horsemen, Of dark-eyed women and jealous kings.

When poets and imagining hearts were stirred To find heroes among brutal soldiers And reasons for violence masked as greed. Shades of blue lost to time reappear.

Once there was a file, The file was used in a program. Unfortunately, could never smile, Digitally stuck in rolling RAM. Wanting a life beyond the lab, To be called more than just a tab. Instead AMAZING, cool & fab, Being able to dance & dab. Tired of being cut, copied and pasted, Duplicated, locked and wasted. So s/he married a trojan, And eloped, far from that dungeon. To party with android & PUBG, Feasting on apples & candy. Living life in blissful entirety!

Lately, I don't understand. I don't understand how, How I can't control the water that rolls down my eyes like a waterfall. It's meant to flow when I'm sad, It's meant to assist me when I'm sober. It does the opposite, It makes me feel no remorse. It makes me feel powerful. Sometimes, I question it, "Why have thee forsaken me when I need thee?" it still does not reply. I feel powerless over it. it has more control. One day, I stayed in the darkness. my eyes were closed. I was trying to blind myself from reality. I was trying to create a world full of my own fantasies. But it didn't work out well. Tears crept in from behind, they woke me up. I was so close to escaping but they brought me back. I tried to hold them in but they came faster than I ever imagined. They sneaked in through a Trojan horse. An unforeseen enemy. They made me feel vulnerable. I didn't need them but they came. I'm sure they laughed because of the victory, I cried because of my pain.

No, I don't understand her... Who was Helen of Troy... Who exactly Helen was... Or what was Troy... An ancient Greek city... Was Helen a citizen of that city? Or maybe she was not... They also mention Troy to be a Hero... A Hero from Greece... Was Helen of Troy a bacteria then!?! Did she live inside Troy's bowels!?! So unique! They fought over a bacteria! Killed so many for a bacteria then!

Helen of Troy
Shouting for longevity, Slamming at the counterers… - upon your dignified respite! Would-be detractors without brevity, Before the wine-dark Sea at night… A pleading to philosophy of commonly renowned, Beating sand and posturing, uncouth before a crown; “Priam please!” Sun and Moon, two sons shall plead, nay, -beg in tandem with the man; “He serves the seas, trust him please, our father; this priest of Trojan-land!” Laocoon “Fear the Greeks, of mind I speak, approval by a van-i-ty; it surely is a death you seek! An asp this horse, gift no more and tragedy in due remorse, I beg of you my call to heed, wooden-burnt this crispy steed, …alight in flame, glorified name; Poseidon shall endorse!” Priests of Apollo “Ridiculous! Worship we must, now bring it to the City thus!” Laocoon “The actions of accursed Kore, Need I remind you all Paris caused this war? For he mocked this god, the abyss it knows, with terror comes a deadly tide, **** that fool and his fiddling pride!* Burn this beast we must with haste for Greeks they have a certain taste, Their acts meant always to confound, wily, since they were unbound. What harm may do, to rest at shore? Consult the stars of yester-yore. Assign no chore, one heaven’s night, plus a day, to sit upon our princely shore?” Setting (read/spoken at the fastest pace the reader can go) A horrid hiss above the wave as two doth slither from out the cave…   The creatures from the darkest days, ancient spectacle for the knaves, bear witness to the punishment, commanded by a great trident, hearing screams of bannermen, for King and council a shocking twist, serpents ****** from out the mists, encircling priest and his kin, the howling they had done no sin, never be forgot-ten, as Typhon cried out merrily, serpents and the tragic sea; swallowed up all the three. Priam “Farewell dear Laocoon and two sons with thee!” *

Making all the small mistakes, we move on, from one gig to another, with our head up-high, and our ear glued to the railroad track. We walk backwards, surrounded by defective traffic signals and multi-toned car horns – an impersonal Trojan toy horse, with too much space inside our frameless carcass to be filled by an empty soul.

Little by little
you sat across from me, our eyes drawing blanks i offered you a beer and you said no thanks we sang songs about making love and how *** is fun, if you’re drunk enough i apologized for kissing like a trojan, three hundred in one night and you on the third date, when lips felt right then we drove a hundred miles down to south santa fe passed the gas station where my last lover lay his stomach left a stain on the sidewalk i loved him once and now we don’t even talk you tried to grab the clutch but instead touched my knee blushing, you sat like cancer beside me you grew at an alarming rate wiped your lip and chewed on lace fingers drew hearts on your foggy window you promised if i left that you’d never let me go i swore i wouldn’t fall, so i laid on the floor hudson eyes stared at the picture hanging above your door you asked to catch the bends inside of me sink and drown, *** is fun if you just promise to leave
