"amped" poems
To live is the rarest thing in the world. I agree with that statement. To live means to have life or to be alive, but how many people actually do that? "Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed.", said Eminem. So many people in today's day and age have gone through situations, and almost always unexpectedly. The impact of the situation has left many of them with no zest for life, and they end up simply existing. Its pretty sad if you think about it though. Where some of us are living a zealous life, amped with motivation, others are like clouds, just drifting by, day after day. Well, I think that's the problem, I think that is to blame for so many things. People who only exist have no goals for their lives, they become negative and have no hope whatsoever. They become so pessimistic that they sometimes get the better of the optimistic. That shouldn't be happening. I can confidently say that those who live to just exist, are the most negative in our population. Everybody suffers and everybody hurts but some of us have acknowledged the fact that circumstances are temporary, so why should we let it get the better of us. Life is way too short to just go by existing. Doing that is like making food that won't get eaten or buying a phone that you won't use, its pointless. Existing instead of living is almost insulting your creator. Each of us were created for a special purpose, and merely existing is not one of those. I believe that just existing is a waste. So many of us have lost friends and Family members, that we would give anything to see again. You have a life, they don't. Make use of it. Remember that you were only give one life to live, but if you do it right, once is enough. Also, always know that if you love life, it will love you back. Living your life to the best of your ability can only ever have a positive effect on your life. You were given this life because you're strong enough to live it. Take chances. Tell the truth. Say no. Spend all your cash. Get to know someone randomn. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at stupid jokes. Cry. Apologise. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Laugh till your stomach hurts. Regret nothing. Most importantly, live life.

your gusto ripping through my veins 'merican flags trump supporters platinum beer fireworks flaring fires visible atop seedy peeled-paint rvs technicolor lights amped up on edgy recreational vehicles 4000 (BRIGHT BLUE), 6000 (BRIGHT GREEN), 750XR ON-AND-ON-AND covered in dirt and filth eating meat sizzled atop   flames atop charcoal bricks and lighter fluid complimented by krafts brand mac n cheese i am apart of it you know your triumph burns sticky, out of my skin guiltily i came into being birthed inside anthracitic sediments and lighter fluid scratching, writhing, biting at the mercy of a hyper-paint / subtle-death encrusted reality

seeking it out of my given flesh
1968  I remember 1968.. The land of milk and honey. The war was still cold but not The Tet. That ***** was hot. 1954 I made my debut. Lotta my boys did too. ** chi Minh amped up his crew. Can't. We all just get along. No way LBJ. Young guys all over town stressin the lottery. The randomness of body bag. Friday hip deep in rice paddy. Monday a letter to your moms.

The Nam #1
I have long sought quiet. And please, let me be clear: quiet. Not the quietus Hamlet desired, No “consummation devoutly to be wished” for me. No, with or without a bare bayonet, UNBEINGNESS is hardly what I seek. It is not the predicament of death, But the quiet spectacle of the grave I envy.   Originally a city mouse, I am familiar with the urban soundscape. I know city noise, amped up in decibels. Noise-induced stress, shrill and enervating, Add to the mix a working-class neighborhood, Where someone is always hammering, Using a power tool of some kind, Repairing, improving an older, somewhat decrepit home; But a steal as the realtors say. Or vehicles, like Old Havana relics, Held together by secular prayer, And thriving underground Cuban capitalism. Then just for fun: *"Let’s send the son of a ***** to war."* Tympanic membranes be wary and be ****** Stretched and perforated, Compressed and torn, Shredded like wheat. Pummeled by shock wave. I was Lear wandering the heath, Your ass-cheeks cracked: *“Cataracts and hurricanes . . . Oak-cleaving thunderbolts . . . Sulphurour and thought-executing fires . . . Singe my white head!”* Cue Cabaret music (Cabaret (1972) - IMDb www.imdb.com/title/tt0068327): “Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome . . . to Indochine,” First a Weimar-Saigon suckee-fuckee, Then out to *The **** Mind-numbing concussion, Reek of jellied gasoline, Charred meat, Assorted red entrails, Obliteration of thought complete.

Coming home, I feel I’m a fan on the stage of an amped up rock show in front of a hyped up crowd, about to dive – will you promise to catch me before my jump turns into a fall? Carry me over your wavelike faces, your hands holding me, floating me over to the dance floor with you all.

It might be the passersby that amuse me: The brightly dressed young woman whose ease And deeply warm smile suggest convincingly She is a new bride, her heart dancing like the breeze; Or her companion, whose strength beams Through his eyes and brightens his gaze, His love, like the sun's light streams Over his young wife, whose laughter seems his praise; Or the gaggle of adolesents, From whose conversation I catch words Like “amped” and “dude,” most of which to me make no sense, Whose clothes seem much worn than what their parents can afford; Or it might be the happy child Giggling in her mother's arms, Whose fun consists of simply flailing all wild And watching the smiles of those the fun disarms. Or it might be that I am the youngest of them all, Cane on the bench beside me, Taking in the world, anew, fresh, though this be my 76th fall. If this park bench view means anything, very clearly: Life is a smiling thing.

Park Bench View
Born and reared in the city of Bridgeport, where the trash arose from Long Island Sound. The seagulls appeared, then vanished from sight, wafting and diving through radiant sky. Some inlets and harbours, lapping the shore, while sounds of young voices screamed with delight. Marvelous moments to form our delight. Skipping through the busy streets of Bridgeport. Heading south down Park, to visit the shore. Where all you could hear was the visual sound, of airplanes and balloons, gracing the sky, alive in my mind but quite out of sight. The crystalline sparkle came into sight, to everyone’s pure and simple delight. We watched as the clouds emerged from blue sky, over the stunted skyline of Bridgeport. Suddenly the clamour, the noise, the sound came crashingly close to the rocky shore. With silence removed from that muffled sound, bemoaning the graphite and speckled sky. Searching and groping for inner delight. pasteurized thoughts over the sandy shore. Memorized pictures brought into our sight, a lost time; in the bowels of Bridgeport. Sail boats and tankers came upon the shore, out of the distance, and into my sight. All I could hear was breath of the sound, with glee, laughter, and a certain delight. The slums became the city of Bridgeport, reaching endlessly toward the dancing sky. Adrift; at peace, and awashed by the sound, flippantly airy as ground touched the sky. I strolled and smiled with love lost delight, scampered along on our copious shore. Aware that my flight was love at first sight, on the coast, in the city of  Bridgeport. Amped delight amid the light of our sound misconstrued Bridgeport scraped close to the sky, up to the shore and again out of sight.

I am a dear "friend" of yours Yes, you know me well If you know my name or not Only time will tell. There's a rave that's going on A place that I have found Kids! You need to go there! Tho it's 6 feet underground... All dressed up? Ready to go? I tell you... it's a blast! You won't know it's a furnace And the pain will always last....... There's party treats for everyone! Maggots are just grand! There's no food or water But there's a Mega Band! Come! We're getting closer! And I have a hunch That you won't mind the sulfur No, you won't mind the stench What's that noise, you ask me? Oh... it's not what it seems! Those are the amped-up *guitars NOT a-g-o-n-i-z-e-d screeeeams!* Don't mind the cuts & scratches Don't mind all the flies Don't mind that I am uglier I'm losing my disguise... Oh, are you uncomfortable? Is it getting HOT in here? Well, sorry, there ain't any punch Much less any beer... Yes, it IS most very DARK It's very black and dank Are you having trouble breathing? Is the odor getting rank? Ah! Now you see the lava Is leaving your desire? Sorry, your ticket was one-way To the burning lake of fire... Yes, regret's your portion For your soul you did sell You'll be here *e--t--e--r--n--a--l--l--y I Welcome You to Hell.* SoulSurvivor (C) 6/28/2016

I Welcome You to Hell
*Your lips they felt so nice They felt so ******* nice As you pressed them against my neck You gave me a deep, wet, intense, **** little kiss My gosh I love the feeling of them The way your lips trailed Slipping and sliding Up and down It made me moan uncontrollably The power of your lips... Oh **** They ******* turned me on so ******* much Especially when you hugged me so tightly and intensely as if you didn't want to let me go It amped things up even higher I lost my breath in the moment And my heart stopped for a few seconds **** baby you know just what I like I just wanna squeeze and **** those **** ******* of yours I love how your ******* grow ***** to my touch Makes me feel like a man Makes me feel special **** I.... I want more.... (licks lips) Come here baby*

i like the word epicenter heard it one night all cranked out trying to get drunk the juice like water my nose sweating amped like hell wanting to disassemble the VW bug find what that sound was, took apart the carburetor first, sniffed and stood for half a second said, nah, not the prob looked into the glovebox was sure the bug was in there, a few screws later the dashboard was on the porch and still I had no idea what that ******* sound was walked in quick circles thinking , almost, it had to be the radiator or a fanbelt or the tires! Yes ! I took them all off, carefully snooted around their hoses the perimeter of the fanbelts circumference the radiators fins the pressure got to me of the tires was perfect, had to be the ****** I sniffed down my throat went that chemical taste like antifreeze I took her out the transmission inspected her tip to toe the servo thing the valve body went full bore into the torque converter it torqued converted now I was getting worried it was the mirror was loose of course I took her off it was coated with a white powder did a line straight to AutoZone for a mirror cleaning fluid , they looked at me funny.

I wanna have sax with you again. You trumpet my mind away. I miss how the tips of my fingers press every single one of your keys causing you to vibrate Then I’d strum a handful of your strings, getting amped up for you to scream Do you remember the way that your ***** felt due to the stroking of my trombone? This is when your harps start to beat excessively And mines was on the same bass You would always turn around so I can use my drumstick You’d think I put my foot it in. I recall how you catch rhythm quite splendid each side clapping tambourines. I inquired, you’d choir **** our orchestrated erotica Now do you understand why your name is logged into my phone as Harmonica?

Twelve days. I have been on this roll. Spun like a top, I cant seem to stop. With every twist of my wrist and a flick of the Bic, clouds billow in, tension follows out. My head is at ease. The noise has ceased. Twelve days. The shadow people wave, like I am old friend. Backwards am I. For I dont get amped off the high. Clean a room? Ha! I'd rather stare at the sky. Wave goodbye to the ADHD, see ya when I run out, whenever that may be. Twelve days.

Twelve days
I’m wishing I was you as much as you wish you were me, Our minds are missing, out to sea, See I’m armless, essentially harmless, Ambling around like an amped up amputee, But if we put our problems together do you think you’d be after me? Brinking on a shrink, whose thinking I'm a catastrophe, Missing linking and I think, that not even my laughter’s free, People shrinking, slink around, accusing me of blasphemy, But the truth is, I’m bruised, because Big G never answered me, My water was water, it never turned into wine, I never prayed at an altar, I never turned to a shrine, I never turned to a crime, my life’s not harrowing it’s genuine, Narrowing the line, being vain and still a heroine, There's pain from time to time but my veins are clean of ****** I’m fine, though I whine, cause my spine feels my adrenaline, My life’s realigned, I think it's time to add the zen again, How’s that for comparison, do we even compare, We’re Misfits, and we go where the eagles dare, People don’t care, where the eagles fly, Because empathy’s been emptied in the blink of an eye, And I think that when you cry, you can repair your mistakes, Let's start replying to the sigh of other people’s heartaches.

Deep to the Core ~Haiku
James at the edge of the Queen “one for old times” tossed the brand new bag 100cc outfits into my lap orange cap shinning  -- fine yellowish powder sprinkles across grandmothers silver flick of the Bic sour lemon stank filled room slow draw through a shirt string cotton ball of choice holding 65cc’s of uncut prop-dope …an impossibility today – indented  armpit skin as the nearly clear liquid takes on a pink tinge the artery never fails to deliver plunger plunged plunging impurities – gag cough from my belly wave crashes and sweat pours to amped to sit still the car calls – miles out of the way before arrival at her benefactors home sweetest of faces snuggled on a blanket pallet on the living room floor as I feverishly pencil bad poetry until daybreak – November the fourth 2002 this was the last time these were the last actions of a strung out needle freak breaking new ground by leaving the past behind –

Dig We were nearly back to the house when the front end loader shattered the silence and back filled the hole drove off some vireos and cowbirds amped up seven whitetail browsing the pine break above Calusa Way. American Spirit ******* a new moon **** of mouth the operator feathered the lever while gathered together we grazed potato salad, deviled eggs, sliced ham, rain from the Gulf over to Melbourne soaking the operator’s boots ducking into his pickup truck for the long drive home to Pedro. It hammered the tin roof shed out back where your tools tarps, trouble lights, line trimmer home brew insecticide in unmarked milk jugs, old spark plugs a lifetime of nuts, bolts and washers huddled warm and dry on shelves ball peened the tamped sand lozenge on the ragged fringe of the silent ranks. It’s hard to find even with a map Calusa Way coiling through the bahia grass flowing past stone faced theater goers house lights up well past their final act. Vireos and cowbirds even the whitetail browsing the pine break pay me no mind down on hands and knees undoing the honest work of the operator, sifting handfuls of sandy backfill for something I might have missed.

Rock it out
A Friday night in silence. My mind races a hundred miles an hour. Solitary confinement is the most dangerous thing to me. I will either use it to destroy my world, or yours. I'm not good at sitting still. I die with stagnation. On these nights, I drink til I can sleep, or stay amped until I collapse. I don't know how to shut down. That's the same thing that keeps me going on the good days.

Step 1
It starts off with darkness, only the sound of heels tapping is heard. Then all is silent. My heart beginning to mix with the rhythm of a silent beat. Bam all that is seen is brightness, I'm frozen in place. I remember where i am when the piano begins to sound. Everything seems to ease and smile. The steps are played in my head and translated through my body. I find myself flowing to one side holding there presence... Then leaping across to the other. The music moves through me like a wave of passion feeding my soul. With every step a new emotion is amped through everything like dancing on electric wires. My body, heart, soul and mind crave more. More music, more steps to come to mind. My heart is electrified with heated passion. All too quickly it ends. But, the music never dies inside, I'm able to live through the next day until i come face to face with music again.

Dancing Stars!
Crawling away for safety Only to barely make it Crawling away from the stares The hateful,disgusted stares That burns the victim Burns through the thin layer of scarred skin Burns through the littered flesh Burns all the way to the soul ....... Crawling away to safety Ducking off just in time In time to dodge the vicious stereotypes So sharp they cut through the flesh Through the flesh to the bare soul The brutal beliefs Of you and you Of the world Of you and you And possibly me Just barely dodging the painful swings The painful punches of the tongue Opinions being thrown Thrown like a professional mad man In a room with only his thoughts Screams of pain Wails of agony The sag of defeat The drag of limp esteem The shortness of breathe Due to the fingers of life Closing in slowly but thoroughly Tighter and tighter Around my windpipe My only source of survival ...... Crawling away to safety Only to be pulled back Pulled back by embarrassment Pulled back by the past The pain of yesterday The pain that has seemingly closed the door Closed the door to the joy of tomorrow Pulled back by the mistakes The foolish mistakes of a silly child Pulled back by the thoughts The thoughts that held me Held me against my will Hard against the wall Fear slapping me around The truth waiting for its turn The past getting amped up for its chance No help in sight My future passed out to my left My present knocked out at my right No idea of what's next No idea of what's to come No idea... Not a clue Is there even gonna be a next Or has life won round one

What's up DMX, I see they got you next, I just wanna pay, My respects, 21 gun salutes, with the techs, rough rider, Like Theodore, for sure, I knew the pain, was plain, and pure, What else do, we have to live for, too many greats, under the floor, Resting peacefully, somebody put them slugs in me, Reverse the tragedy, just to bring more tragedy, and agony, Dodge the vanity, enemies sitting on the front, steps of mercy, I seen many, died before, just another, unpredicted prophecy, Thought I could shake, the cold flee, filled with lifeless memories, First Kobe to Doom, then X, to close the everlasting, trinity Now all I have is ya songs, rest in peace, dawg with the heavenly Used to get amped up, to get at me dawg, rough on the hogs, Living to die, so why even try, to muster the fry, last breed to die, This game been ***** check the birdies, chirping slowly, Crack the 40z, for the lost homies, too many, too name, Lost in the fame, **** I should, have bit, the flames Longer ago, seen death knocking at the doors, for the cure, My best homies, all clay frozen, as isee the souls rosen, From the watery graves, from the grief, that loves to stay, Til the day, I lay in the ground, im a continue, to bust rounds, Reload til my thoughts explode, I'm pain free, slipping easily, Almost couldn't get up, never let up, this world's so corrupt, Let the trails of tears, uplift the curse, finally in a hearse.
