The greatest challenge my nature presents: Love is harder to find Hate is easier to find Within myself and others Is rejection different for me? Everybody seems to know the pain of being unwanted And idle threats and empty words are no stranger to rejection But when you say you'll **** me if you ever see me again The intention is clear The existence of my attraction Is grotesque beyond redemption I thought I loved you... When appreciation comes my way It's superficiality amuses me Because I know all that needs to happen Is breaking down the wall to my mind Or unlocking the door to my heart And those appreciators will transform into detractors Especially if the hideous leviathan approaches their vessel Not finding women gross frustrates me Because I have no reference point For why people hate me so much Which provides a reference point For why I hate myself so much It's difficult not to be dominated by this damnation But there's no way people could understand The daily subtle nuances Why should they? I don't constantly consider their lives either Even if someone tried to comprehend my life I'm not sure it's possible I've been here the whole time and I'm still massively perplexed I display my emotions Disgust I shroud my emotions Indifference I **** my emotions Hatred Is there no escape? Even with sanctuaries along the way Life feels like Everybody swims in the ocean While I'm resigned to my lonely oasis Is it possible to feel more alone than completely alone? Like a cockroach consigned to living under the refrigerator It gets so cold and dark down here I forage for crumbs only at night Mortally afraid of human contact For I know that the boot follows the light And why not? In a world where our priorities obstruct our compassion How much consideration should a real human show to a lowly maggot like me When they have to worry about paying the exterminator?

I sit by the window Staring out with hope Gloomy face eyes low Captive in this castle A solitary dreamer Waiting for the one Riding with her sword My dauntless damsel To rescue me away far-far away from this deranged world I wonder though What amuses you more Am I less of a man Or do you doubt A woman's valour Capable of Creating Life in her womb Open your petty mind Break thy stereotypes Crush the misogyny Prove to the feminine soul Chivalry isn't dead anymore

Prince charming and the Damsel in Distress
Oh, oh Oreo Oreo the cat Who makes of ripped up paper towels Very fancy hats Oh, oh Oreo My silly little friend Who through ridiculous antics Amuses to no end Oh, oh Oreo Sniffer of all shoes Faced with the choice of sniffing strangers It's their footwear that you choose. Oh, oh Oreo Speaker of cat tongue I pretend to understand your words But my translations are far-flung Oh, oh Oreo Warmer of my lap and heart I promise now as I did before We will never be apart.

Ode to Oreo (02.02.13)
he is a turtle she is a rose he moves slow she daily glows he is rough and coarse she smells perfect he closes his eyes she flies in petals he proposed her she refuses he goes down underwater she amuses he came as a wet pet she firms her guards he tells a story she discards he stops trying she loves the scar he stays in front of her and she remarks what do you need? what do you want? his voice is crisp he utters at last I just need affection I just need admiration I just need approval because I am a narc.

Writing always seems more urgent When it's written in italics, Even when the topic, Is rather mundane. Consider this example: I like to eat sandwiches Furthermore, everything Seems much more urgent, When written in bold font, We revisit the example: I like to eat sandwiches ...and a step even further, Writing seems absolutely Crucial when written in, Bold font, with caps-lock, Once again, we recapitulate: I LIKE TO EAT SANDWICHES At this point, it seems as though I am imparting unto you matters Of the utmost severity, that could Be the difference between life and death, ...but really, I just like sandwiches. This amuses me.

Mundane Italics
My issues are nothing new, Not old either. Just common. Isn't that's what we all are? Similar are our difficulties. Just different setting, different levels. We all are heirs to wisdom. It grows and we learn. I take my time with it. I lean forward. I try. Everything is interconnected. Everything is same. Everything is common. This world is common. I'm bored and aren't you? Shapes, colours, snowflakes. Nothing were made to be similar. The reason it's all so very interesting. To feel, to see and to touch. Their intricate patterns amuses me. If the day goes white to blue, And the nights yellow to black. Aren't we all necessary. All the colours. We weren't made to be different. Be separated and humiliated. But guess what we learned from humility. We let wisdom grow inside us. We let it strengthen our bonds. We accepted us and so did others. Now we come up at first. And Now we stand out. In a world this common, Its refreshing to be different.

Nature amuses, at times when perfection demands of it. So is esctasy, whenever it grips a **** But its force is undeniable, it make every **** a ****** and the law fails to persecute them; nor for other atrocities, of incests and the ******* they breed.

**** Of A Hen
The heat of your gaze is piercing my skin Is penetrating the wall I had erected around me It's testing every limit And finding every crack in my, otherwise, immaculate facade Even the tiniest flaw has grown giant And the slightest push Brings it all crashing down Defying even the strongest of barriers The force being pressed against me in undeniable I'll have to submit I lose ground every second To your perfection The glint in your eye Speaks of a delicious evil That I can't help but yearn for And the more I hold myself down The more I find myself reaching out Just to have another taste Of the treasures you bring me My resistance amuses you And you encourage my refusals Just so you can feel yourself break me again and again Every time you take me The battle is yours

Seduction
What is the universal language? Is it not music? That soothes and amuses, That inspires us to movement, That paints a picture of a thousand words, That when it’s heard, can move us to love. Music so expressive, it can make you weep Sounds so smooth, they can help you sleep. And what about marches that propel armies, Keeping their feet as one, with the beat? A beat that throbs deep in your heart And calls you apart, to dance or to revolution – The revolution of the soldier, Or the revolution of the ballerina’s toes. Who knows what has been done by the song you have sung It has called, it has touched, it has moved Like a bell, it has rung. But let it love, not hate Let it not be sung too late And remember that all can hear it So draw people near with it You don’t need a rehearsal To speak the universal language of music- Just use it!

Isn't it fascinating? Telling you they're down Telling you they're suffering Isn't it amusing? Telling you they give up Telling you they want the end Pessimism fills their statement Dejected faces Inconsolable souls Shells impossible to move Yet it amuses me more Their smiles Their laughter Their permanent changing masks Their tears They wipe off As if it's a raindrop Just happened to come down How does it feel? To be in pain To hurt To be happy How does their life go? Having more marks More than in my system? It must be really amusing

Emotionless AI
About that starting lineup, well I think I missed the gun but just as well took off for other places~ I longed for mountains majesty and all those things I hoped to see, while others stayed and loved familiar faces. Some married and they bore their young, or college-bound for work and fun or tragedy, well sometimes God just loses me~ The question of my failure to connect with just one sailor, what the heck, but strangely so, it still amuses me. I ponder of a hope, that it's still possible, within your scope, and grateful for eleventh hour breakthroughs~ Still don't get what you wrote to me, I bungled at the spelling bee, you say the thing I'll get, is what I choose? My mind it travels to and fro, the world it feeds the input though, and we must press the whey out from the curds~ And so I speak in vagaries, of things to come which I can't see but speak into reality, if only by my words. The power of the word, to mezmerize and heal the hurt, your eyes are beautiful they've looked into my soul~ The wonder of your gaze, it touches places, Dear, I'd rather not be writing of, our love, like epic poetry, too much to share in whole.

of curds and whey
THE SHADOWS PALMS STRETCHED IN THE EBONY ROADS MUSING ON THE BLOCKS OF RUGGED STONE STEPS GARNERED AND GATHERED BY CHAFED PALMS. STRADDLING OVER THEM THE DEEP FURROWS AND HEATED BROWS NOW BROWN AND TANNED WEARING A RUMMAGED MOUSTACHE OF CLIMBING VINES. EVERY STEP AMUSES, A MUSE THAT DOES NOT CEASE TO AMUSE, IN THE HEAT OVERDOSES. AND WHEN THE ARECA PALMS PALIPATING IN ARRAY HOIST ABOUT LIKE ROWS OF MEN DOPED IN CEILED BANKS OF DISTRUST A CYNICAL NILA CRIES , HER PLUNDERED SANDS. NOW THE SUNKEN FERRIES , HAVE APPEARED AT HER BAY, AND PAINFULLY CHAFE EACH OTHER. A ***** FROM THE BOTTOM STIRRING THE BELL FOR THE REQUIEM PAY THE FERRYMEN. FOR THE WAYFARERS WAFFLED WRITINGS ARE ADDRESSED TO THE MEN WHO PLASTERED HER WALLS ALONE

Out of fashion, out-dated there's no help for it, so let me be unattractive, rejected because I show myself so conspicuously and attract attention needlessly That's how I'm seen. I am seen and the whispering amuses me although nobody talks to me And you let me wait again until the reception calls that you are there So I just sit here looking out the window I am used to it, there is nothing to see at the back of the hotel and it is getting dark You always were impatient My make-up took too long for you and you sat angry in the car but if I behaved exactly the way you had conceived you could really be sweet

Until the reception calls
Mesmerized by what lies inside Dwells in my skull, lives in my mind Showing me, these corrupted dreams Behind my eyes, more than it seems Wilted roses, pouring rain Not a word but the roaring pain Scratching and tearing, flesh left raw Growling and biting and sharpening claws Shining eyes belie rage denied Moonlit skies, moonstruck cries Enraged and entrapped by thorns, kept safe Let us loose, witness our showcase "Your life isn't hard, it has no stress I am kindred, so I know best" Without, surveillance, how could you know I'm all wound up and I'm ready to go! Don't tell me what I have not felt Don't tell me about the cards I've been dealt You suffer too, we both suffocate Can't ease our symptoms unless we medicate! Angry you've been, angry I am! You've walked in these shoes so you should understand! Crimson is our bloodline, destroy what we hate! I hate myself so it's only my fate! Yet tell me I'm joking, call me a mimic It ****** me off so I don't want to hear it! How can you act like you knew all along I don't ******* get it, YOU'RE SO ******* WRONG! Authorities called, was a couple of years Seeing you talking, confirmed all my fears You haven't a clue, you don't understand, I have no filters, I say what I am! When I cry out for help and you tell them I'm fine I can't confess these desires for crime! You say there's no worry, you say I'm okay WHO THE **** ARE YOU TO SAY! You think you know me, you know nothing at all! YOU, KNOW, NOTHING AT ALL! YOU, KNOW, NOTHING AT ALL! YOU, KNOW, ABSOLUTELY **** ALL! So keep on talking, it amuses me so This pain and this anguish, denied by your hope Deluded you are, remember this thought: No such roses, grow such thorns!

I think if Madness were a person he'd be a handsome, sharp dressed, man. He would wear a well tailored suit with a deep purple, velvet, waistcoat. I imagine  he'd wear a black fedora for the mystery and a pocket watch to keep time. A little old fashioned but ageless. A few days before he arrives I always get antsy. My anxiety acts up and I do things like leave the grocery store in a panic and empty handed. I take my kids to the park and then I find I suddenly can't breathe and the world feels like it's ending. And then....there is the inevitable knock on my minds door. "Oh it's you" I'd say. "Dont pretend like you didn't know I was in town..." He pushed past me , drops his stuff , and easily finds the whiskey cabinet and pours himself a full glass. He has been here before.  "I was at the grocery store yesterday and the park a few days before that. " he turns, glass in hand. He smiles and it sends chills down my spine. "Well..." He continues, "you should have known I was coming . The signs were all there." I turn away, nervously and indignantly. He sips his whiskey, studying me. "Right. You thought some vitamins and sunshine could keep me away." The thought obviously amuses him. He laughs and downs his entire drink in one gulp. He loves this game. He pours another whiskey and walks over to me. He puts the drink in my left hand and stands right up against my back, his hands on my shoulders, his lips near my ears. I can feel his warm breathe and I am nauseated and comforted at the same time.  He slowly moves his hands down my arms to my hands. He locks his right hand with mine and wraps it around my stomach so his arm is around me too. His left hand brings the drink up to my lips. I close my eyes for a moment wishing him away. It doesn't work. "Now" he whispers "where were we?"

Hello Madness old friend.
I think if Madness were a person he'd be a handsome, sharp dressed, man. He would wear a well tailored suit with a deep purple, velvet, waistcoat. I imagine  he'd wear a black fedora for the mystery and a pocket watch to keep time. A little old fashioned but ageless. A few days before he arrives I always get antsy. My anxiety acts up and I do things like leave the grocery store in a panic and empty handed. I take my kids to the park and then I find I suddenly can't breathe and the world feels like it's ending.

That moment when "I love you" Becomes synonymous With a slam of the door That moment when Water pours out of your doe-like eyes And takes the shape Of your absent father That moment when You witness a stranger's father Pushing away a girl resembling a porcelain doll's hand And whispering, "It hurts me more than it will ever hurt you." That moment when You realize You have a hickey Except It's on your heart That moment when What used to upset you Now amuses you greatly Because, You killed every inch of feeling And replaced it With jokes Until One day You realized You also killed yourself In the process

Death By Emotions
Anticipation sustains the shock To Immateria I run from solitude Gravity binds motionless tears and aspirations Unsettled minds quiver with passion as madness leads back to a private paradise A charismatic figure emerges to save me from this senile suicide Dancing images separate me from the eyeless monsters Enthusiasm curves my lips as the alchemist invades my consciousness The drowsy air hums like a savage and eternity amuses itself on our fluttering lips

Unsettling Madness
these attachments to you and your heart they wring me out and into these thoughts your interest feels waning and fickle anything that amuses you seems to steal it away every heart around you seems to feel like competition the best of them and the best of you bringing out my worst you're not really mine my words don't hit your heart quite right so my mouth fills blood from biting my tongue

It amuses me how I often thought of the Colour Green As simply Hue stained leaves that dressed the Trees Or Carpeted parts of the Earth Like Seas of Turf Also taking Flight In the Sky Certain Birds Distinctly Green And a number of Reptiles With such a Glow However now I know In our World When Human Beings Create They may tap into the Stream That Flows Green.... DLR 08/10/2016 Mosaïque de vert Cela m’amuse comment j’ai pensé souvent à la couleur verte Simplement comme teinte coloré des feuilles qui habille les arbres Ou des parties de la moquette des mers comme terre de gazon En prenant le vol dans le ciel Certains oiseaux Distinctement vert Et un certain nombre de Reptiles Avec un tel éclat Mais maintenant je sais Dans notre monde Quand créer des êtres humains Ils peuvent puiser dans le flux Les coulées vertes....

Letter to Myself
Oh love, how you are so bitter sweet. You reel in any sucker willing to bite. You like to trick the nicest people. Why it amuses you, we will never know. But sometimes, you actually make matches. Nice matches that last forever. You are the best and the worst thing ever. I love you. And yet I still loathe you. You've helped me find the one. But you've given me so much heartbreak. Thank you. And **** you.

Lovely Little Lying Love
I have days where I laugh for no reason; absolutely everything amuses me to no end. I have days where nothing makes me happy; not hugs, not food, not running, not you. I have days where everyone is irritating; I try to tell people. They irritate me too. I laugh too much. At all the wrong times. I’m moody. I’m a pain in the *** I'm going to hurt you.

Who's wearing sundays Songs jejune peruses; May her corsage roses Dress the fine arrays! And gathered 'round strays, Each of them amuses Their eyes with their noses For depots off ways. The fantastic plays Out of them her bruises; Songs fed by drunk proses May enchant in rays!
