"achey" poems
I may have achey feet from working all the live long day. But I'm grateful for them. They take my mind off my aching heart. Caused by the curse of adulting and time keeping us apart.

The curse of adulting
slept and soaked the sabbath Saturday away. the body, achey breaky, cranked and croaked, slewed by a slew of common miscreants. one, a stitch in my side, feeling like someone's inside, wanting to be born, feet first, coming out the side of my chest, instead of my ****** so, promised poems and bills to pay, put aside for a more poetic bill paying day. awoke once near midday, an unusual wake up call, my nostrils do attend, when the honey odors of cinnamon and vanilla invade the french shores of my subconscious. I love three things French: the elegance of their language grande, their frenchified fries and frenchified toast. was fed some french toast, bathed in vanilla and cinnamon, thus drugged, went back to bed again. as I drifted off for the third time today, heard the woman dramatic say: "must have, must have," two words that I from my past, consider a curse, a grave phrase of choice of my ex-wife, her way of saying I didn't measure up. *must have paprika to roast your chicken for Sunday dinner.* relieved beyond measure, as I to dreamless sleep dispatched, vague recall a poem forming about the spices in my life.

The Spices of Life - Cinnamon, Vanilla and Paprika
right between the place of being perfectly okay, stable, and content and ripping at ever seam, loose at the hinges you can see that the stitches are coming apart and the heart doesn't want to beat anymore I was born here between the lines of need it I need you and that wouldn't be good for me and neither are you the space between total distance and I miss the word baby so much that I feel achey I want to yell and I want to scream but my mouth is shut, I know there are reasons why I'm here whether it be bad karma or the way the world turns and if there isn't then **** whatever card I drew out of the deck once I said excuse me father for I have sinned because I didn't know how to pray so I begged for forgiveness until my ego bled reasons that I needed to be alone but I'd rather be excused then forgiven because I'm good at excuses and I'm still waiting around for the moment where I forgive you I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE. WHEN WILL THE SKY STOP FADING TO SUCH A DARK BLUE THAT I HAVE TO TURN MY BRIGHTS ON AT 4 PM WHEN WILL THIS CITY WAKE UP ONE MORNING WHEN IT'S NOT EXHAUSTED AND HUNGOVER ON IT'S LACK OF OXYGEN WHEN WILL THE BIRDS SONG BECOME OUR WAKE UP CALL WHEN WILL THE LEASH COME OFF WHEN WILL THE WORLD SPIN ON IT'S OWN FREE WILL AND WHEN WILL I STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET I DON'T WANT THIS, I NEVER WANTED THIS I GOT STUCK INTO BEING SOMEONE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH BUT I WANT TO BE I WANT TO BE SO BAD IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW MUCH EFFORT I PUT IN ASKING THE GRASS TO GROW FOR ME IT NEVER DOES IF ONLY YOU FELT HOW MANY TIMES I ASKED GOD TO TAKE AWAY THE FEELINGS TAKE AWAY THE KNOWLEDGE TAKE AWAY WHAT I NOW UNDERSTAND LEAVE ME BLIND AND IN THE DARK BEFORE YOU LEAVE ME SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY ANYONE, ESPECIALLY HERSELF IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW MANY TIMES I BEGGED EVERYBODY TO STOP STARING AT ME I'M IN A ROOM ALONE BUT ALL I CAN FEEL IS EYES AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP BEING ME

This morning I woke up with my hand hurting again. I wake up most mornings with an ache of some sort, whether it be physically or emotionally. I thought, not for the first time, about how I'm too young for this. See, I was born into this life with a prescription for pills written into my ribs. I've been popping them since before I knew what they meant, or how they destroy my body. I haven't always been this achey, but I have always had something wrong with me. Anxiety stole my childhood, left me running for the glowing exit sign that is the end of my life. And I'm not saying I didn't have a good childhood, but I grew up fearing that toothpaste would **** me if I accidentally swallowed too much of it. I still reap the consquences of anxiety to this day. I grew up with knee problems and anxiety, grew into depression and now I have to take pills just to feel normal again. And sometimes it doesn't work. See, some days I feel like a regular kid. I wake up, go to school, come back to family where I don't have to wonder if they love me or not. On these days I feel like I can accomplish anything. I feel like the world is in my hands and all I have to do is try. Other days I'm a walking suicide note. My bed is quick sand, drawing me further and further into the black that I can't find my way out of. There's a tornado sending my thoughts into a spiral and I'm too dizzy to fix this. When you're this sad, there is no such thing as a "minor inconvenience." Everything that stands in the way, small as it may be, is another reason on my ever growing list of why I shouldn't be here. I stayed up until 6 o'clock this morning wondering why I haven't signed my name on the goodbye note yet. I didn't reach out to anyone but I still cried when no one noticed how broken I am. But why would anyone notice in the first place? Why would anyone care? This morning I woke up with my hand hurting again. As I was taking my daily pills, I wondered, not for the first time, If I took enough pain pills, would it cure my aching soul, too?

there's a pimple on my left cheekbone and one of my brows is plucked a little thinner than the other. the only makeup on my face is the black on my eyelashes my eyes burst green. my mouth (my rosebud mouth, my mother smiles) like a slightly opened slightly troubled bow. my brow is furrowed my eyes are searching one of my ring-and-bracelet hands holds back my hair  (short) and my elbow rests. i look at myself, head-tilting, quick-sketching the curves of my features in a single line of ultra-fine Sharpie. what you see is what you get. my eyes frown into themselves through the mirror. i am long i am lanky i am lovely. i am a little lost and very found i am angsty i am achey i am laughing i am me - if you only look at yourself for a second you tend to miss how beautiful you are. it isn't my vanity. it's the universal, and most unbelieved truth. i brush back my hair and i puff my cheeks out. i sigh, and i look at myself in the cheap mirrors set out on the art-room tables. "not bad," i say to the single line of ultra-fine Sharpie-version of my face. and it isn't. even though i left out the pimple.

a single line of ultra-fine sharpie
My skin is warm My bones are achey Wrapped in blankets Yet I'm still shaking My head is pounding My throat is sore As I lie here ailing My body's at war My nose is running Where to, I'm not sure As I scour the internet To find a quick cure My vision is hazy As I scroll through my options Should I really trust random Internet users' concoctions? The coughing has started I've just held back a sneeze I've got to do something Before I'm riddled with disease I'll mix these ingredients Then down them without attest If this doesn't work out At least I tried my best

Hypochondriac
Whether it's your father, your mother, your friend or your lover, an enemy, a stranger or me. Whether you feel achey neglect or sweet safety. Love, regret or conversationality. Relationships are messy, completely captured by complexity. Oh what it would be to sit down face to face, have mind, body and soul empathically trade place. You'll feel what I've felt since the day we first met and know you're a treasure I'll never forget. I'll finally see what's been hidden from me, the swirling storms of emotional mystery. Love me or hate me, I'll survive and adapt, uncertainty is the death of me when my chemicals react. But there it is. A mess of lies. Lying to others, lying to ourselves, the truth lies dusty under beds and on shelves. A mess of truths that we cannot speak but strongly feel. So simple and real, that we can't comprehend, let alone share with a lover or friend. Fire, water, food and shelter. A sad life bereft of love, to take away your very breath, but all you need is love... Until you starve to death.         - Kevin Schvaneveldt

The tangle.
He laid out some towels She set a bucket right on top The outside pitter patter Echoed closely by drip drop She plopped down on the couch and said “I hate our leaky roof…” He cozied up right next to her “We’re newlyweds, it’s cute!” The dog had left a pungent gift Spread out across the floor They tied cloth over their noses Prepared to go to war They scrubbed the ground on hands and knees He, unusually mute She poked his side with smiling eyes “We’re newlyweds, it’s cute!” Baby two cried till blue Every other hour And baby one learned to run Too young for such a power People seemed to judge and stare Her cheeks turned rosy red He raised his voice, ignoring glares “It’s cute! We’re newlyweds!” She zipped up the dress He escorted down the aisle And gave away his baby girl His heart in full denial The newfound silence of their home Was echoed in his head She played their own first dance song “It’s cute, we’re newlyweds” Years spilled by, the kids had kids Less heed was paid to clocks Days now passed in reading chairs With simple meals and long walks They shuffled down the sidewalk At a careful, measured pace Their scooting right in sync, A peculiar kind of grace She paused to rub her fingers His hands were also wrung She raised her deep-set eyes to his “Do you ever miss when we were young?” His wrinkles seemed to lengthen As a gleam came to his eye His mind replaying memories Of leaky roofs and a youthful bride Then he looked at the woman beside him Drooped by the weight of long life And for a moment he stayed silent Overwhelmed by his beautiful wife... “I don’t miss when we were young Though time has worn us down The love I had for you back then Cannot compare to now I’ll brave a thousand achey bones Just to take slow walks with you. Besides,” he took her hand in his “We’re newlyweds, it’s cute.”

This a very strange and odd feeling.. Dead exhausted.. Sleep deprived for a week... Having a nasty migraine.. A bad tummy and aches and pains... But for some inexplicable reason... I am in the mood of dancing.. Dancing like i used to do.. Dancing like i danced way back .... I’m driving home after a horrible n busy night... I ought to be looking like the dead... My eyes are heavy... Can’t see the road ahead.. But for some inexplicable reason .. I’m feeling like dancing.. I’m blasting loud music in the car.. I’m dancing and driving.. Don’t think i should be doing so.. But I’m dancing like i did way back.. Before i put in the key to my front door.. Backpack , eyes. And feet all heavy and sore... I connect my phone to the Bluetooth.. On it comes blasting the beats that move my feet... I ought to be collapsing in bed.. Tired and weary.. But for some inexplicable reason.. I’m stripping and dancing.. To the loud music I’m blasting.. The music is going on non stop.. I’m playing it on repeat My body, soul and my feet have a rhythm.. Making me feel complete... I’m still moving, i can’t seem to stop.. I am feeling like both death and life.. I can’t explain it.. my soul is filled with jive.. Oh what a vibe!! And for some inexplicable reason.. I’m dancing and dancing like my bones aren’t old and weary.. dancing like I’m not all fat and heavy I’m dancing like i used to way back Moving from the front to the back Winding the waist like its not old and achey The shoulders are rolling and groovy Yes I’m dancing .. like we did way back Yes I’m back Gotten my groove back Almost forgot i still have all that Almost forgot what it felt like To dance like i did way back I’m still dancing.. Better than i did way back Oh yes I’m back So is the rythm and the groove My soul is renewed I’m both old and new Dancing like we did way back Dancing more than i did way back

taking government loans, parental guidelines and flashy dress-skirts made this life unfact and unfiction. Lost in the disabled returns on tax dividends, the world kept calling your name. “Rise up and be born with me, brother” Pablo Neruda inclined-- *“Give me your hand from the deep Zone seeded by your sorrow.”* it all it all it all ached, an abyss of patience with nothing-- a droplet of sidelined coffee given sentience with ingestion-- all the banal all the mundane all the flowing rock-face moments so presented by society-- in my heart of hearts, in my mind of minds, in my eye of eyes, in my neck of necks, I found pain.... the ache of achey betrayal and the ache of achey loss. In this pain we find repreive from Pollyanna-- reprieve from the false Gods of Evil, the Devil Within your Ex-Girlfriend-- the reason she let his ******** inside. Through all the latency-- through starving streetless sleepless evenings-turned-to-nights I could see death within the sliver of a flashlight beam.. telling me to take the life or leave the life but never in-between-- telling me the pain was part and parcel to the ecstasy of faith and resurrection-- screaming “FLATLINED IF YOU WANT, FASTLINED IN YOU WANT, SIDELINED IF YOU WANT, STREETLIGHT IF YOU WANT” and throughout this evil and this darkness and this nothing -but-a-flashlight-beam, I hear Neruda-- “Rise up and be born with me, brother.”

easy, now. easy, soon.
Summer time comes and it's time for a swim, Dipping my toe gingerly in When your laugh yanks me off my solid ground. "Stay in the shallow end," I tell myself, remembering our last trip to the pool. "Dare not to breathe when he pulls you under, tasting so much like air as he pulls you close," Treading water to stay afloat, Remembering all that lay at your floor, A Glimmering Treasure Trove That will too easily become a home. Surely, I'll get swimmer's heart, An achey ringing, In the center of my chest, The antidote, found in the eyes of One who could drain the pool Without Notice.

"holy **** it feels like years" i close my achey eyes and breathe your silhouette. i smell you, your skin and shampoo and funk, scents on my pillow become cents in a jar. i am working hard tonight to become a mess and alone. the rain slowed and disappointed me, i hoped to be washed away. i hear airplanes and apostrophe, short of breath and epiphany. meat-hook and drag me like something worth catching and carving. you may eat me alive without ever knowing it.

I can see the pain you try and keep within your teeth.. It’s falling out your eyes, Trailing lines atop the streets. Why don’t you sit and talk with me, My honest ears, just let it out. I’ll keep it to myself, Your achey words will never touch my mouth. You see it as a million mountains that you have to climb, I try to show you there’s a simple path, Just one you have to find. The dam built in your eyes Is spilling Same goes for the one built in your mind. I want to tear it down, See you free, See you running wild. Imagining, I see your teeth are nothing but a cage For your tongue, Imagine all these words just rolling off ablaze. Oh it would be amazing, Tasting flare from all your fallout. The plants retract their claims of faith, The sun, it seems so dull now. With you around, Disaster’s but a shrug & we stay northbound. Mushroom cloud stepper, Red pepper, here I call out: “I could always see your wings, Since we sat, swaying on the swings. A presence never made me melt the same, I doubt one ever will again." Every time I left the grounds I kept you somewhere in my mind Yet every time you wound up close to me I’d hide behind my eyes. You hadn’t left my mind but my reality Had changed a lot A bit of strength had shifted to my shape & we could finally talk Time had come to pass I’m older, bolder, somewhat of an *** I play guitar throughout the classes Ashy from the mornings hash. You asked me “Could I sing along?” Or maybe I asked you, Learned that I could Use Somebody, hopes of getting close with you. Our voices filling up the room Fluorescent flowers start to bloom. I see a supernova, Open up my eyes, all I see is you I’m flashing back to heart attacks When first graced by your presence Now I’m living here in song With you, I fight to keep my breath in. Just so I can let it go, With time and tone, to flow & meet with yours And form those meteors Of heart and soul We rode with no remorse. Oh maybe I’m infatuated, Maybe it’s all lust. Maybe we are meant to be But just haven’t fallen up yet, I await your wings, To show you things, To grow and know you well. You may just wait the same as me, Only time will tell.

We Sat, Swaying on the Swings

Pass the time Pass the time Pass the time Think of what is not killing you Let it seep into your skin and let it fill your lungs Crack your brittle knuckles and pop your achey joints This is only the beginning Tie a noose around a tree and let the branch break, just to let yourself know that nature is keeping you alive for a reason Now think of what is killing you Let it fill and spill over and under your thoughts Let it whisper soft meaningless nothings into your ears Flirt with the idea of crushing a caterpillar just before it blossoms into a butterfly Let yourself realize that there is beauty in the innocent Learn that corruption is at every street corner, just begging and pleading for your attention Pass the time Pass the time Pass the time Give yourself to the wrongdoers Let your blood bleed dark red onto your favorite t-shirt Feel knowledgeable and learn consistently Walk gracefully and fight viciously There is no bliss in ignorance, just like there is no good in evil Time is as valuable as diamond Do not shied yourself from its shine and do not hide in its shadow When the next opportunity comes, do not pass it Do not pass the time and do not let it escape you Breathe in air and exhale fire Watch the clock like it is your favorite movie, it may just surprise you

What a Waste
everything ached so bad and i was so heavy that i felt that if i stepped down to hard, my kneees would break and i would melt into a puddle of unloved and scarred. ny chest is achey and tight and cold but my throat is warm and constricting around my pleas for help. what words do come out are angry and emotional when i cried it was mostly out of deperation.

Ache Ache Aches. Then come the shakes. Struck in the side Pelvis And the face. Loose fist, Tight grip, Eyes closed, Teeth stripped. Comatose come down. Good intentions preceded Translucent affections. Ache Ache Achey.

Robotics Class, I never took it, But I'm sure glad you did, It left you crooked, Achey & Weird, When we kissed it was copper mixed, With gasoline tears, Hearts don't break even, They don't break at all, Just shrivel up & die, Until the next one comes along, I'm not sure if you're replaceable.

the anti-siren alarm song collapses the dimensions of the oneiric realm, fidgeting infinitesimally, the tangled engine of acidic tubes combusts last nights pepperoni bacon chorizo pizza all of sparta trembles stalagmites shake loose and dust the bedclothes, cemented eye-lashes decalcify and split, as two stumbling gargantuan steps off the promontory of your bed lead an unguided hand to the light-switch the florescent hum gnaws at you a singular parameter in the speaking mind's running mouth “caffeinate me” a hill, no, a mountain, no, a sheer abyss 'the stairs', a godly ascent an ascent for winged creatures of light creatures with legs for arms, zeppelin-like centipedes legs whose construct are Dalían, nightmarish vaulting apparatuses, whose step is a bound and whose bound is a flight, as if all of the thirteen foot-tall steps become cliffsides and all of the cliffsides become interdimensional worm-holes as the distance between two mustard seeds grows and exceeds the circumference of the universal ellipse we see our premonitions are of infinite potentiality. resignedly, we take the first step the next twelve follow succinctly. we reach the ochre chamber of caffeine only to be halted by a question a sempiternal question, a question of mythic, unverifiable stature a plaguing question, a question rooted in our achey-breaky hearts and nigh-arthritic bones, rooted in the seeping pathos of our ritualized morning zombie-shuffle: but it doesn't get asked today, we drink coffee the world is right-side up again.

i don't want this to have taught me the ways and reasons as to why i should grow cold if anything, i want to look at this cavernous thing inside of me that you left behind and think: i know how to love. i know how to love so much. and for you, it was not enough. or it was too much. i'm not sure. but i allowed myself to see myself through loving you and no i don't think thats unhealthy i have learned about the love that lies in me i know that it will pick itself up, brush off all this disappointment, and twice tasted hurt and achey remembrances and say to itself, "you are so good, your love is so good." monday 10:19 p.m. november.3.2014

i am hurt inside and it hurts
The thunder rumbles in sore throats and rivers of yellow speak of high hopes for the people who plant flowers and complain to pollen the earth will give you too many chances to worry about sunflowers because drizzles help until there you are, achey muscles and grey face ******* on Ricola crossing a street to go to work and how does it happen to be that the first day of rain in a month comes on the day you lose your sunshine Well today the sun came in a bottle of Tropicana and tomorrow I will count the losses of those who just can’t take one rainy day

Split Your Worry
chugging bile and liquor closed eyes smell the innards of a joint wrapped in oilslicked stain shoveling sugar thrice processed into vocal chords left silenced but for the coughing up of shriveled lungs set ablaze to ease the twitching triggered by the mistress doused in white who scaffolds into crumbling nasal caverns to numb the brain that dreams of god in guilty refrain and whips thorny obedience to words siphoned through ghosts of men and obedience to the inflated heads of state and corporate banks who play Skinnard's game and always win millions of yes-men nodding their heads in addiction to artificial green leaves printed with blood and even lovers twirling passion in their beds have their eyes squeezed shut clutching at darkness slick and disappearing at the touch of pulsing fingertips racing to bury themselves in skin and forget the achey organs that lay waiting within weary and smothered from covering up thoughts too sharp to breathe in... --it's all hide and seek. running and running and running from bare and open vulnerability shrouded underneath layers of reflected identities and neuro-chemistry and material fortresses and snarled teeth and synthetic bliss wrapped in bitter bumblebees. don't you think it's time you swallowed the wince it takes to glimpse your fear's shadows?

you says things to me that always catch me off my guard, like the other day when we were in your bed, and you told me i was "beautiful." and i told you i couldn't respond, or even think of something to say, to the wonderful compliment you gave me. but that one time that you told me, you thought i was how a girl should be, your idea of a girl atleast, i went home that night and i wanted to die.

i feel achey.
I want to write about how much I love you; how your voice sounds like the ambient led zeppelin tunes that blanket my body in goosebumps or how your olive green eyes have a ring of tree bark brown that gaze at me like I’m a queen Maybe it’s how you treat me like a queen, you caress my skin like it’s made of gold and silver You act as if all you wish to do is place me on a throne made of lilacs and constellations Because you know how much I love flowers and how fascinated I am with the endless night sky The way you make my heart feel heavy like mount everest is sitting on my chest is jaw dropping With your lips dripping of honey as you tell me how much you love me But you refuse to believe me when I say, you too are worthy. You have to realize in my aquamarine eyes you are the only one I see Even with thick grey smoke floating through the air from our cheap cigarettes every inhale is a breathe of fresh air when I am next to you. I don’t know how else to tell you how much I care for you, but please know you are worth so much more than couch hopping and self reliance. You can depend on me at 3 am when you’re restless and your eyes refuse to shut You can depend on me to rub your back when it’s achey and sore, You can depend on me to just be there when you need someone to hold. I am not obligating you to do the same, and I understand I don’t need to beg, because behind every loyal queen, is her king.
