My worst fear to
be traded for fair
for pixie hair, for
long bony fingers
and an affinity for
paint being smeared
on jeans. I am

none

of
those
things.
(c) Brooke Otto

Let my brain get the best of me.
I can't make it
these pictures of you get my mind faded
And when I see you out, I recall our first date, that suddenly seems...outdated.
But  Am I the reason?
Why you changed from your self control?optimistic believing?
Why you meet men now and your first thoughts are ways of leaving...
I formed your demons
I created this monster
Of a woman who wants men to feel the pain that they so generously offer...
And feel the hits of lies that strike quick and leaves a golden heart somber
Yet, I  wonder,
If you think from time to time of the breathless kiss?
You see that was the action while the scene started in a bedroom of unconditional love, wild fire bliss

Ugh...
I hate that I missed!
Why am I still stuck? Why won't this stop!?
To all my people who endure hopeless love
Sit with me...lets take another unforgiven shot....lets take another unforgiven shot...



Take a shot for Me
I love her but moved on...
This room is full of blind eyes
As I sit
And listen to these sore excuses for lies.
I cry a couple tears, and cut myself a little deeper every time..
And
When you all see the cuts, you look at me like.. I've, committed some type of crime?
But it doesn't seem to matter to anybody.
Caring seems to be everyone's antibody.
But no matter how blind
Everyone else is always on my mind.
My parents, tell me to **** it up.
The people I trust, leave me.
And the only thing this ****** up world does for me is endlessly deceive me...

early autumn chill
somber toning frogling bass
stars beam silent truth
On a dewy evening
As the day takes a silent bow,
Gazing at the distant pearls
Appearing on the ethereal wisp,
You feel an elemental oneness
To have your place in this design
Intrinsically woven in the cosmic fabric,
When gathers in your eyes a mist
That rolls down in grateful glory
To blend into the night!
Find me a
passion
fear
lust
pain
anger
desire
anxiety,
need
That spins, spinning
Into a tornado
That destroys us.

With you I am by a lake, waiting.
There is no breeze.
There is a bird and a wave and a
mosquito; expected.
Your hand holds mine but your palms are dry.
And my eyes are too.

What is this place?

So long ago the unresolved conflict
Her pain that makes my bomb tic
The guilty demon wakes within
As I revisit my shame again

Funny that you believe
I walked away and never grieved
I wish such could be true
In these nights I dream of you

Morals that itch beyond a scratch
Dream which summon my demons back
The unforgiven can never rest
Perhaps you dream, in peace I guess
Evenings were sandwich time
brought in by big Ted
sandwiches cut in triangles
in white and brown

and he laid the plates down
on the center table
and the patients
bored out

of their fragile brains
pounced upon them
and ate ravishingly
as if time

was running out
to eat
but  
Yiska nibbled hers

took small bites
her finger tips
holding the brown bread
her white teeth

nibbling gently
Naaman watched her
his sandwich held
but uneaten

smelt
viewed
but held away
from lips

he took in
Yiska's nibbling
the way her fingers
held as if a holy host

not fish paste
and her lips
parted just so
her tongue seen

the white teeth
and her eyes
unfocused
her nightgown

buttoned at the breast
with a missing button
and he wanted
to be that sandwich

in her fingers
wanted her lips
to feel him
her teeth to nibble him

but then
the foreign woman
distracted him
by taking

her sandwich apart
opening it
between fingers
sniffing the contents

******* up her nose
muttering something
in her foreign tongue
throwing it on the plate

and picking up another
don't waste them
a nurse said
ask if you don't see

what you want
the foreign woman
chewed on the sandwich
she'd picked

the nurse removed
the torn open sandwich
Naaman ate
a small portion

viewing Yiska meanwhile
licking her fingers
******* the ends
in and out

and he wished
it he she was doing thus
he looked away
the evening sky

was darkening
through the locked
ward windows
the bright electric lights

above their heads
made mirrors
of the windows
and Naaman saw himself

in his blue dressing gown
sans belt in case
he tried to string
himself again

and he gazed at Yiska
once more nibbling
another sandwich
the same *******

technique
the similar lipping
routine
and the missing button

on her nightgown
revealed a small portion
of flesh viewed
her small *******

pressing the cotton cloth
of the nightgown
and he ate unceremoniously
the last of his bread

watching her fingers
licked again
while outside the window
the sound of fresh rain.
