This here...my heart is a book Sadness and hope inhabit most pages Marred by past experiences that took Scribbled are the ironies and broken adages Worn pages tainted by the lowest of my days Dark ink leave them smeared and stained Fresh ones stay crisp; free from nays Awaiting dreams and wishes I have not gained Silent are the pages still left unwritten As though I have saved them for something For future chapters yet to happen For you to come and begin your writing Welcome the pen that would herald a new start Imagined it's ink to bear the flightiest notions It would speak in volumes ensnaring the heart It would sing a song with the sweetest of emotions Seep in, dear ink, into my pages past and new Seep through, dear ink, feel free to make your mark Seep strong, dear ink, maybe you could undo Seep true, dear ink, and bring light to the dark But rip not the old for they forever will speak Lessons that are learnt, strength that was bestowed Tears that's been shed, happiness that I seek Gloom that was braved, hope that I have sowed Come, my heart is your book You are the sole pen to my infinite pages Ink are your words that would fill every nook Eternal is the bond that would last through ages This here...the rest of the pages are yours Occupy them as you have in my everyday I was saving them not knowing my course Almost as if I knew you'd come to pen the words you'd say A promise as sure as the sun would rise A promise made as good as the noblest of men My book is open to our laughs and cries As long as you would forever remain my pen

This here...my heart is a book Sadness and hope inhabit most pages Marred by past experiences that took Scribbled are the ironies and broken adages Worn pages tainted by the lowest of my days Dark ink leave them smeared and stained Fresh ones stay crisp; free from nays Awaiting dreams and wishes I have not gained Silent are the pages still left unwritten As though I have saved them for something For future chapters yet to happen For you to come and begin your writing Welcome the pen that would herald a new start Imagined it's ink to bear the flightiest notions It would speak in volumes ensnaring the heart It would sing a song with the sweetest of emotions Seep in, dear ink, into my pages past and new Seep through, dear ink, feel free to make your mark Seep strong, dear ink, maybe you could undo Seep true, dear ink, and bring light to the dark But rip not the old for they forever will speak Lessons that are learnt, strength that was bestowed Tears that's been shed, happiness that I seek Gloom that was braved, hope that I have sowed Come, my heart is your book You are the sole pen to my infinite pages Ink are your words that would fill every nook Eternal is the bond that would last through ages This here...the rest of the pages are yours Occupy them as you have in my everyday I was saving them not knowing my course Almost as if I knew you'd come to pen the words you'd say A promise as sure as the sun would rise A promise made as good as the noblest of men My book is open to our laughs and cries As long as you would forever remain my pen

if i were to ask if you'd prefer the truth over happiness, would you take the red pill or the blue? in *Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of a Fist*, Sunil Yapa writes, "care too much and this world will **** you cold." but there is no greater love than this: i'll lay my life down for both strangers and friends. it's true what the adages say. knowledge may yet yield power, but most find bliss in fictitious myths. the tyranny of dead deities cajoles the soulless, self-inflicted ignorance claps the mind in shackles, a brain neutered by obedient acquiescence. there is a somber courage in sobriety. i'll deny until i die, defying the urge to idolize a substance that distracts the mind from misery. i choose to question everyone and everything, even if a clear-head invites utter agony. conviction is certainly a long and lonely road, but our integrity is the very last inch of us and—within that inch—we are free. so steadfast, i remain a stone anchored to the riverbed by the weight of gravity and the rushing tides eroding me. we'll stand strong in solidarity with all those suffering, opposing the specter of dominance, illusory as a phantom, ephemeral as the passage of time. i'll unleash an omnipotent psyche, inspired by the insight found in the closing lines of a punk and artist's call-to-arms: pursue what haunts you. if the truth terrifies you, good. that is precisely what veracity ought to do.

pursue
He proposed to me at Disney World    and I loved him anyway. He’s discovered his own brilliance at 22    It’ll ruin him early and completely. The Ouija Board said he’d die at 33,    like Jesus he’s living fast and loose. His sleep is a menagerie, a night-    time sound machine, all owls and lions. He drank 2 liters of gasoline    and lived to tell it, used the fuel like sickness. He punched his arm through a window because    of the gasoline. Swastika-shaped scar tissue. He is at least 9 feet tall    and contrary as a tree limb. He bought me diamonds and I lost them,    he bought me more and ******* them into me. He liked to clamp his lips around cold cat ears    when he had no air conditioning. His voice was an engine dying, choke and hold,    growling for new air and old adages. His name walks in front of him, announcing    the second coming and the first going. When he was sick or scared sick, he’d wrap in    his sister’s pink scarf, only that one, only pink. He told us to be strong like men but act like women    so I wanted to be a doctor that always did the dishes. His love was a closet too small for two peoples’ clothes    so I packed it in boxes and burned it on the sidewalk. His eyes harbor the whole world: bombs, bicuspids,    A wink that could **** a small school of children. He makes proverbs that tell the time    not minutes though, but centuries.

Of men and boys
I see worlds of demons and villians as I take my last breath I avidly add adages to the words that I press Each and everyday strewn and littered with stress Life’s just a savage game of chess A new beginning has been presented With her gone it’s like I’m living out a life sentence Never again will a person so perfect be invented She truly had an awe inspiring presence 48 Living life with a newfound belligerence Like a high off of ten different barbiturates Today’s generation is filled with complete ignorance This cypher shall be thy deliverance Since her death I’ve been nothing but diffident Like a lost dog, I’m timid People have always seen me as quite different But to that opinion, I’m indifferent 48 Life is all about mind over matter Look at the wall covered with your brain splatter On some Ice-T **** rhymes that blow your mind True love is hard to find Do you live life as you want to Or do you follow everything society tells you In the end society will destroy you No matter what, stay true 48 Just rolled up, five & dime Every morning, rise and grind Now I’m flying away with Peter Pan Gone, gone, gone away, Never Land So here’s to another day Another coffin rots away Life’s just a game we play Until God takes us away 48 Tomorrow is not a guarantee When my mind is my purgatory No soul can control me Your word’s do nothing for me Now you’re saying I’m your salvation Who the hell are you? What’s your relation I miss seeing her eyes ablaze with elation Her death was my inevitable damnation 48 No matter where I am, I’m writing a verse I’ve seen too many loved ones dead in a hearse My heart golden, but my blood’s black My thoughts stretch to oblivion, like you leg on the torture rack Is this where I belong? This is only the beginning, not a swansong I’m bound to be bigger than King Kong Free my mind, get ***** eyed like Cheech & Chong 48

Life isn’t fair, they tell me, it’s not always cut and dry. You can’t always get what you want, but that just leaves me asking why? Ignorance is bliss, supposedly, some days I wish I’d never met you. Anything is possible, they say, doesn’t that apply to us too? Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a plane ticket. Everything happens for a reason, well that reason can go stick it. A closed door is a window opened but what if the door was never there? They tell you to follow your heart, My heart’s with you; it’s not going anywhere.

Aphorisms, Axioms and Awry Adages
I'm the reclusive wreck-loose Who's about to let loose And instigate and substantiate the fact that society's narrow mindedness is there for us to instantiate that we ourselves have to promote understanding and antiquate hate Accidents happened and mistakes were made They take a sardonic look at the schematics of a systematic syncopated symmetry     They say we dare not deviate from the Fibonacci Sequence But to matriculate And be quick on the uptake Then add ourselves to the division of labour I make empirical claims to disarm ephemeral things Fashion Technology Music Life as a whole But then I'm the ******* They salt the songbird's tail Clipping the properties of personality "Bide your time so you don't do anything foolish and bite your tongue so you don't say anything you may regret" But this is this part of the cocoon effect   Waiting to see all the failed racists After this metaphysical metamorphosis So modern So contemporary It's classic Soon to be ancient The adages and aesthetic aphrodisiacs 'Who do you want to be when you grow up?" "What do you want to be when you grow up" "I want to be civilization as you know it..or as you like it" Peradam-  Something that shows itself to those who truly seek it.

When antiquated tenets presume Like Pyramids entombed Buried Deep within sand Dunes Old adages must be discerned To bring this all to light Mind and Soul begin Insight That Contempt  beguiles Juggling Words and phrases For modern philosophies   To find an Empty Concept Lead by an inept Prophet Who's vision awaits begetting As I am ambivalent to What is said to come So no time's wasted From awaiting the Event.....

Ambivalance
I know of clocks that render time and stretch the shadows toward the skies The weight of waiting for her world is like waving white flags in disguise. I know of books that have no words yet each page filled with grammar marks. The motif is often misconstrued as each day spills into the dark. Some get butterflies inside themselves. But all I’ve got are dead cocoons. A life which hoped to spring forth new a death which loomed forth much too soon. I’ve seen porcelains survive a drop and climb to heights of mezzanines. In reverse, the verse said that’s enough so I began my steps in wandering. I came across a set of stairs upset I stared and steered away. The fragile state of seeming plain increased my odds of being changed. I know of dreams that dictate words for me to write in schemes of lines. Cliches and thoughts and adages repeat to her in rehearsed lies.

Chaos over sleep. You supply the torches, I'll supply the mob. This bed's too big for the one of us. The maggots already ate through the moose, leaving two yellowed-white anchors made of bone to sink into the floor. Bologna; The meat that lies straight to your face. The news is getting olds. Analyzing bags and trashes. Paralyzing eyelashes snap shut, trapping the fly. Thus, the death of an ego was born. Reading is kind of like smoking except you don't burn the paper. The quickest way to burn a bridge is to kiss it. Don't be a stranger now. I'm strange enough for the both of us. The ins and outs of the whens and wheres I do and do not belong. That bar fight with the bathroom door really did a doozy on my eyebrow. You know I will hunt whatever, you pra(e)y. Blessed by lowercase god and misspelled Amerika('Merica). Same message, different bottle. My dreams are too loud before I fall asleep. The first possibility that you jump to write off has the highest probability of containing the things that will set you right off. My teeth may not have any layers of skin left to ride by. From poverty to profanity; proverbs to insanity. A serpent a day keeps the apples away. Growing weary of the definitive abstracts, I curl up somewhat uncomfortably numb in the cracks of the curbs and sidewalks... And with that the last thought of the night twisted into the air and joined with the wisps of smoke pouring from the final cigarette. The odyssey in mind sends our hero sailing from the shores of "I know how to do it all" into the vast and turbulent waves of "I do it all." The bird who clipped its own wings. The Jack of All Trades, the Queen of No Hearts, the King of Nothing, the Ace of Idle. Faceless cards. Just a chess piece on a checker board. Maybe there's less to figure out than there is to understand. Always on the brink of making things right. Don't let it slink away in the middle of the night. I had an uncomfortably close call with life. What some would call a near-life experience. I swear I was inches away from living...

I bought nostalgia a drink Realizing I was sober Never felt a feeling A feeling less than feeling nobler Without losing perspective Perceiving what I could Little less than nothing Worthless wet wood I am strung out Strung together run on sentence Ran through the old adages Like 'don't be a menace' Lucky Irish post penance You're like pulling teeth Sans dentist There's a mirror in the water The bathroom sink is ***** The conversations weak And the dialogue is wordy Granted that the guilt is stubborn Shared by you and shared by me Universal, lovely

St Patrick's Day
it's become something of a cliché but like most trite adages for all its faults it is not necessarily lacking in validity the journey itself is the destination a phrase that conjures images in one's head of subconscious sojourns across arctic tundras and windswept plains savannas and mountain ranges or perhaps astral and ethereal projections of the psyche into some pseudo-spiritual metaphor for overcoming corporeal suffering and psychological anguish but it holds true too to the metaphysical revolt explored by Camus in chapter two of his opus on the spirit of rebellion it is not enough to merely **** god acts of deicide are at once reactionary and revolutionary imposing subtle dictatorships as we merely claim a despot's stolen throne for our own whims and fancies no to resist the urge to become the master to destroy dominance and empower each other is the greatest test humankind will face a constant struggle to pursue the better angels of our nature the means don't justify the ends the means are the end

Don't let the door hit Where fatigue makes you sit. As people like to say, Don't go away, mad, just go away. These crusty old adages Are better than biblical messages. No meaning suffers loss. Because the point comes across. You hide behind double talk That does not match your walk. So down the road you go. Find some other fools you know. Preach your lies to all of them, Because the point comes across. Most know well who you are And you are no shining star. Steal from taxpayers and **** We’ll gladly play back the tape And show the world that can think Just how badly the G.O.P. stinks. You cheat and lie and brag about it. Frankly we can all do without it. The only supporters below you And the people that don’t know you. Most of your support come from bigotry And some gun nuts in their zealotry Who don’t yet see the picture clearly; You cheat and victimize equally. When the tally is taken at the end You’ll find Republicans have no friends Except those with millions to give. Who care not if the rest of us live.

ABOUT THE REAL G.O.P.
I found a true accomplice when her path crossed mine She always kept me high, like we lived on cloud nine She always killed my pain, anodyne Since she's been gone, I'm waiting for the sunshine Another day, another coffin rots away Losing five friends left me in disarray Trying to live life day to day Until the day God takes me away I guess I'm just too ******* real For a world that is too ******* fake Maybe that's why the Devil and I made a deal And now my soul is at stake Now duality's a reality But how is that when reality is a fallacy I hear you whispering, saying you hate me But I could give a **** less personally Now I'm seeing worlds of demons and villains as I take my last breath I avidly add adages to the words that I press Each and everyday strewn and littered with stress Her death still feels like a **** elephant caving in my chest

your face speaks more than a million heartfelt adages; travailing, you compel stone-cold statesmen to grieve. was it debu- -ssy who softened my heart to say that? a cypress dies when it touches your tear-snuffing sleeve.

I saw you smile that day, Love soon overcame me. Obtusely, I ignored this feeling; Viewed it as nothing but wrongs. Endlessly, I pondered your presence, Your name, your voice, your everything. Oaths are not one of my afflictions, yet Under you, I'd swear upon my life. A marvel, you truly are. However, Lost is me between my thoughts; Jousting is my pride, and my heart, Overwhelming are one another. Nights and days, I am waked to the thought of you. Am I to be like this, eternally? Leaving my young heart insane? Why? Why do I feel this way? Adages are not enough for my toilsome affection; Yes, I am afflicted by my affections, Sounds contradictory, but true. Wailing is my heart, truly, I am desperate for you. Lest would you privilege me of reading this ode, Lest you privilege my aching heart.

For
i am tethered to my sickness— brain worms and implacable affinity soil and blood like strings on careful fingers, knitting precariously the loose ends, every alteration another implication, pull hard enough and i am tightly bound to peril deeply fused into your liquid mercury insensate though that may be unliberated; as my mind is a metal can rust and decay so effervescent an empty clanking of unlinked adages circulating alluvial expectations throughout all of my weeping nerves and stillness, if i were still able pain could only wake me for so long before attachment becomes a blunted weapon, and your infection, my bereaved maladaptive paradise.

A God or a Titan? I think that might be  right on the button. In for a pound and you'll be in for a penny any more? if there's muck there'll be brass that's another. Adages are natures way of saying, get a life. but good or bad Jack the lad will always be Jack. Intelligence is real the rest is artificial. try telling that to a clever girl. see how I ramble? A God or a Titan, a wrong 'un or right one we all want the light on when we get scared.

Bounty hunters
It takes cement to make a gent and I've been chewing bricks since nineteen fifty six that's an awful lot of brick dust. They say, needs must when the Devil rides, time and tides and other adages that make no sense to me. I always listen carefully, but it's in one ear and out the other. Learning is not my disability, the ability to unlearn is what unnerves me and it's Saturday I should be out at play but I'm going to work to pay my tax so some idle swine on easy street can sit back and relax. He's in a shaft and they all laughed, but it wasn't the bottomless pit.

The Rotherhithe tunnel
By: Cedric McClester If you are free of sin Then throw the first stone But if you are not Then leave it alone If you point your finger at someone As people often do Don’t forget that three fingers Are pointing back at you When the shoe is snugly on   The other person’s foot Where the onus usually is More easily put As opposed to when the shoe Belongs to you Then that’s probably something You won’t want to do People who live in glass houses Shouldn’t throw stones Because the glass might shatter The window one owns Look before you leap Because you cannot know If there’s any water Down there below Once bitten makes you Two times shy Chalk it up to experience As the reason why "It is better to give Than to receive," Jesus once said But how many believe?

OLD ADAGES
These days are for the daisies, accented with juniper and babies breath A gazebo beneath a tree like shade on a cloudy afternoon With our glasses more vertical than not; I drink you in and swear away the day She smiles, because I stare off for long periods of time Reasoning, that I don't want her to catch me gazing at what I have no right to love A gardener's guilt Plucking the ripe and ready It's the time of season for cessation The paradoxical harvest An event of sustenance and death A consumer has no sensation other than taste A carnivore only taste one flavor Your flesh on the vine A rare and coveted commodity Past vintages become quartets of meaningless digits, like discarded combinations on a constantly changing tumbler The fortuitous ones will eventually get their chance, but only after the horticulturist has gotten his fill For I have forced breath into you Developing your unique character With subtle augmentations to your composition; and experience above all else Only the most bitterly tortured fruit becomes wine of notoriety A sadistic vintner periodically sampling the evolution of his wares Very often the inflictions are bored by both master and slave I feel it in you It's the only time I do Feel Misery is contingent upon company A fool's philosopher With flawless adages and quips He is no different Eventually we all will be met with the contradictions of our exasperated convolutions Then where will you be? Why, you have been made golden! A hopewell beacon amongst the treacherous and ****** You are now nebulous and immaculate Like the figure encased with in the marble Does the sculpture recall the stripping sensation induced by the artisanal hands of the craftsman? Or is it's ears filled with the clamoring? Ingrates and dolts who only appreciate the product rather than the steadfast passions of it's means Amongst the gawking gazers I am indistinguishable; as you are now to me

Wait one ******* minute... Okay, I'm one of those okie doke mother ******* huh? Waddling and quaking right in to your pitiful rouse Marksmen can make targets out of anything Cans, bottles, fools On the ground On a fence Hurled towards oblivion Pull! Hope fills the beacon as it crests the ascension Notions of survival fashioned in a free fall -Similar Sensibilities- Gems sought out in dirt clods Friends amongst fiends Love's Gemini; Lust Truthfulness in desire Falicy gives the sustance of Chinese food Gorging to the brink of gastric obliteration Satisfaction meets it's pinnacle Where does the mountaineer go when peaks become plateaus? You will come down too Soon enough you will come down - The Simplest Adages- Up is one half of a cycle that controls us all Every dog has it's day Every birthday suite; a funeral tuxedo Remember to smile big It's the only chance you have to win Happy victims Mercilessness's only weakness Clay pigeons with guts grinning
