"backfire" poems
Women don’t want hook-ups. No matter how much she says she does, no matter how much she enjoys the *** no matter how much she is good at it, women want relationships. Even the one you discovered has slept with all of your friends. And the one who relies on her sexuality because she does not believe in herself enough to be anything other than the crazy chick who will let you violate her in ways no one else will. Even the one who pretends she does not love you but does “friends with benefits” because it’s the only way to get the friend part out of you. Even the one you think is beautiful but intimidating because her history of pain has created an aura of independence and mystery. Even the one you think is ugly and you talk **** about to your friends after you **** her. So if you are wondering why your game of innuendos and “just one time let’s use our drunkenness as an excuse” always seems to backfire, it’s because in her heart of hearts in her quiet, truthful and lonely places where she starts to believe she is something of beauty, a woman of intelligence, creativity and value and that yeah, she is capable love, women don’t want hook-ups.

Parallel to the storm my beast of a motorcycle paired with the sharp edged sensations complimenting me with backfire as the October cold meets my desire to detour off my daily route with a demand for an early rise In the mirror I see a home where I belong where my lover is waiting with warmth but for now the cold is my journey cruising with the noise of the roaring tires the power of the horses and the God-like cylinders demanding spark shaking me and my world while they routinely explode petrol beneath my feet like a heartbeat that reminds me - I am alive as I pass the bridge over the frozen lake a frozen thought melts and finds a way from my heart to my mind that taking comfort kills me journeys are the only reminder that I have lived

Journey of a lonely soul
Imagining a day without you has proved to be impossible You've grown under my skin, Whether you're a main artery Making sure every drop stays within my veins Or a vital ***** My back up brain when mine chooses to backfire And i am terribly selfish for needing you so But i'm afraid i cant let you go

The Beheading of a ******** Behemoth
I'm not going to write about you in my journal Because unfortunately I feel that that form of confession tends to backfire dramatically and leave me jinxed. It's like those ink-stained secrets wrapped up in leather counteract the decadent visions I drift to sleep with at night And so, No I'm not going to write about you in my journal You see, I care about the concept of you far too deeply to chance our lingering moments on teenage whimsical compulsions to gush in secrecy About the way your words shifted my anchored soul, About the flooding in my heart when you bared yours, About the mass amounts of internal riots (The butterflies doth protest) Of your pragmatic, flirtatious adequacy Nay, mastery. No I'm not going to write about you in my journal For fear of risking those moments of substance: Secret-swapping Joke-exchanging Soul-bearing times where I wanted nothing more than to jump eight hours ahead so that I could see the undigitized blue of your eyes and feel the ends of my nerves explode off my skin like the Fourth of July. How is it That physical proximity has nothing to do with the closeness we seem to share? I feel Compelled by some unexplainable piece of mind to insist and hope and wish that Like you once told me under volumes of conversation, We are connected. I don't want to waste any of this enigmatic familiarity and sudden interdependency On matters of my own private indulgence And for this, I'm not going to write about you in my journal For you say that you are Atheist But I know that you meant it when you told me Your soul knows mine.

Let's all be honest... for once... let us all admit this statement... Each of us has impaled a dozy pill of mistakes... inhaled regrets fragrant A prescription of the many countless regrets... failures... and stupid moments They come back like a drug side effect, attacking you as their opponent Losing your sense of reality as you drunkenly laugh at the blessings Numb to kindnesses touch as you roll off the couch of security... nervously sweating Openly abusing the precious, pure body of wisdom... deaf to her rejecting scream... She stood by your side... Telling you not to take another drink... not to get lost in marijuana's dream... A foolish smirk sneaks on your face, your mind clouded by the vape and tobacco, blocking your judgment Carelessly touching in all the wrong places... pleasurable? Your conscious shows no lament Your lips are a bite... Your touch is a knife... your words are a poison... to not only wisdom... for it will backfire You are finally evicted from Illusions hallucinations... you fell for such a devilish liar. Your brain has rung the alarm to your entire body... memories of unwise choices bring head trama A heavy alcoholic breath escapes your mouth of regretted words... full of gossips drama You wobble on unstable feet.. and do not achieve your desired balance... Falling to your knees... you see the blood... the tears... and the saliva of someone who is guilty... no use in using words of parlance No lies can hide the guilt that clokes your face... All evidence leads you down to your fate... "Drugged and Drunk of Regrets" was the charge placed against you... then you were sent away But be careful... Memories, thoughts, and feelings can lead your mind astray. "Set them free... You have been given mercy..." The Judge granted, without one drop of regret and worry ...Mercy... You have been given mercy for your crime... So why continue to drug your self on regrets? It's not worth a dime!! DON'T GET DRUNK ON THE PAST!!!! THE OLD IS GONE!!! THE PAST WON'T LAST!!! DON'T CONTINUE TO ****** YOUR THOUGHTS OF A HOPEFULLY FUTURE!! I HAVE DONE THAT!!! DON'T BE HAPPINESSES CONSUMER!! We all have been Drugged and Drunk of Regrets... but the best thing to do... it to apologize... and forget...

There’s a superhero protecting the city, And when the sun goes down he fights To keep his friends and family safe On treacherous, deadly nights. He uses his marvelous super strength For lots of things, it‘s quite practical. And he uses invisibility To be supremely sneaky and tactical. Each and every night he goes to stop Bad people from doing bad things The city loves their superhero, And treat him as their king. They know him well and they can tell That he’ll always treat them with care They know they can call at any time, And that the hero will always be there. But many long and sleepless nights Begin to take their toll. The hero’s getting tired Night after night on patrol. And the battles fought aren’t easily won, The hero’s decorated with scars From poison darts, and fisticuffs, Falling from buildings onto cars. But no one else can protect the people Whom the hero love so dear, So the hero cannot take a break, Not one day off because he fears That as soon as he’s gone the baddies will come And wreak havoc on his friends And the hero cannot allow that to happen; He could never make amends. Though he’s growing quite weary, the hero keeps fighting Because that’s the way heroes are wired. But his strength doesn’t work like it used to, And his invisibility tends to backfire. His strength only works around other people, He grows weak as soon as they’re gone. He’s invisible almost all of the time, So people can’t see something’s wrong. It’s now to the point where the hero dreads The sun sinking into the west Because he knows that once the sun goes down, He’ll be put to the test. He’s so tired and weak and he’s ready to quit But he knows he must go out again. Isn’t protecting the city week after week Worth any amount of pain? He’s reluctant to go out, and almost dares to do evil, To show that he’s in control. But he knows he never will, his reputation’s at stake, And he prepares to go out on patrol. The city is asking to be saved once again. And he cries as the sky turns red, Maybe the city won’t expect to be saved If the hero himself is dead. For the hero feels so very alone. He knows he can’t go on forever. How many more super villains and monsters, He asks, can this poor hero weather? The hero knows that he can’t go much longer, That he only has a little while Before the people figure out he’s hurt But for now he saves with a smile. Though his bones are weak, and his skin is bruised, Off to save the city once more, he goes. He’s pushing himself far past his limit As he brawls ‘gainst countless foes. He wants to keep his people safe, Though he may be going to his grave. For no one ever taught this hero To save others, first himself he has to save.

You’re poisonous and I’m addicted to the burning in my throat, it’s wildfire with each word you share, lightly brushing stories of the topics I most detest and cannot force myself to simply forget. So instead, I try to shrug it off with darker tales from my past, but you continue and surpass them with ease, these claws of flames only rising, tearing into my soul, soon to combust with my distress and rage. I dramatize an unethical kiss with a boy, you mention five more; I hint at a taste for Captain’s, you prefer wraps and bowls. The newly tasted nicotine tears at my lungs, simply to spite you: you smoke it, so why can’t I? Backfire. I am no longer smart enough to accept things as they are, to my knees I surrender to your soul, but I cannot let go of the grudges and the confusing discomfort that comes with learning certain personal traits of yours. I cannot live in vulnerability below you, but these concrete bones cement my legs to the floor, so, instead, I blaze my own morals with my own choices, putting my health at risk with my own stupidity, creating new vices, this poisoning smoke, and a dependence on more than just myself.

Backfire
Unite in your unions! Unite in your unions! Unite in your unions and throw yourself face first in to your work! Don your shirt or overalls, Overhaul your boundaries to concreted foundations, Regardless of what nation you adhere yourself to. Still you work yourself to the bone so your home can pull through. Pull through what? This so called "economic catastrophe" Will work turn into something done for free? Used to create social links and acquaintances to support our future selves. Favours like cans, stacked on shelves. Cashed in for food to much, Blankets for warmth, A place to rest and huddle and slump. As positive as it seems surely that'd backfire. Paid work becomes something where few are hired. An explosion of willing workers in their millions, Forcing tired feet into the smallest of doors. Hives of men and women, children, fathers and mothers, Striving for space while engulfed by their brothers. Enclosed in forecourts once commercially used, These families that hustle and bustle get bruised. Although this exists in the present, and past, It's a consequence of utter nonsense. Hopefully (and I say this wholeheartedly)... Hopefully... Our "leaders" will cut out the rotting impurities and corruption in this economy. Allowing us to be what our full potential shows us we could be. Like countless Sci-Fi shows on TV. Intergalactic human beings, Where all politics are subdued by feelings. A plethora of nations on orbiting space stations. So unite in your unions people of Britain, Unite in your unions people of China, Unite in your unions people of Russia, Unite as a world and demolish these dangers! Goodbye. Zàijiàn. Dasvidaniya.

Mandibles make their own hoarding, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under semiconductor-selected civilians, but under civilians existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The trailer of all dead gentians weighs like a nipper on the brandishes of the lob. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and thistles, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such equipments of rheostat crochet they anxiously conjure up the spleens of the past to their setter, bother from them nappies, bayonet slouches, and cottons in organ-grinder to present this new scheme in wound hoarding in timpanist-honored disincentive and borrowed larch. Thus Luther put on the masseur of the Appearance Paul, the Rhapsody of 1789-1814 draped itself alternately in the gully of the Rook Requisite and the Rook Empress, and the Rhapsody of 1848 knew novelette bicentenary to do than to parsonage, now 1789, now the rheostat trailer of 1793-95. In like mantel, the belch who has learned a new larch always translates it backfire into his motor toot, but he assimilates the spleen of the new larch and exteriors himself freely in it only when he moves in it without recalling the old and when he forgets his navy toot.

The Trailer of Dead Gentians
I’ve been known To take on more than I can handle. To see the overflowing ocean That contains the tears of the world And to try to catch every single one With my own two hands. I’ve been known To fall apart at the seams When I realize there are droplets Falling Through the cracks of my fingers. I’ve been known To cave in on myself And blame my hands For never being big enough. I’ve been known To seem reminiscent of the sea, Always coming back for more No matter how many times I’ve been pushed away By the shore. I’ve been known To love too easy, To trust too much, To land myself in quagmire After quagmire After sinking ship, Giving off the impression that I was always calmly floating While inside this dappled shell of ginger And cinnamon And sass I’ve been barely clinging to the flotsam. I’ve been known to get too attached Blind faith my only guide Occasionally mistaking the plank for Solid ground And walking right off it. I’ve been known to backfire. I’ve been known to sink my own ship. I’ve been known to set out With none-but-moral intentions And end up lost In the map of my own mind. I’ve been known to drop the sails Lower the colours Abandon ship Upon finding myself in the middle of a self-made Maelstrom. I have been known to ignore the lighthouse Become a sponge And crash into the rocky shore. Absorbing all the hurt so seamlessly you’d think I’d been wrung dry I’ve been known to dive in headfirst And come up seething When I realized the storm was more Than I could handle All I ever wanted Was to save the world With my own two hands. Now I have my own savior Handing me a bucket And reminding me That every storm is just a bunch of drops And that all cracks can be repaired

Waiting for the train Toes of my boots on the edge of the yellow line Stand back from yelllow line Reads a sign straight infront of me I think about how quickly I could end everything Steps a bit further I take a deep breath Tears welling up within my tired eyes My breath comes out shaky Shaking my head as I step away Wiping away the tears that overflowed my scarlett eyelids Glancing around, I wonder Who would have saved me?              I'm not to sure I would save me

Backfire
The distance you placed between us Is only going to backfire. You tightened the noose; I cut your wire. You get in our way, Inside and out we burn like Hell. You've tried to break us down, But we never fell. Though you try and try Your plans have failed. And through it all, Our love has not paled. The distance you're placing between us Is only going to backfire. You placed the noose; I have your wire. You didn't start as a threat, But as we saw your plans take flight We prepared ourselves. And we're ready to withstand the fight. We want you to realize And we want you to understand That we won't let our love Slip through our fingers like sand. The distance you placed between us Is only going to backfire You're tightening the noose; I'm cutting your wire. And the distance you placed between us Is already starting to backfire You tightened the noose; I cut your wire.

Despite of your honest intentions One will come up and blow your dreams away. Some will seek all of your flaws. gather them up in a jar, and emphasizes it until all seemed sour. Despite of your humble beginnings, one will find your bread and butter. will treat it as no brained boast, it will backfire to you at all cost. Despite of your dangerous acts, that proved to be a game winner. Despite of all your heroic antics, that could have mattered. They will not see the good in you. Until you're six feet below. until you are gone. until everything is over. when there's no reset button. and all are messed up. you cannot see what is in front of you despite of your heart, and your mind, numb and faking unstrung and broken

Forget her Don't suffer to remember just to suffer forever, sucker Lust safer Rub one out and see if the hunger doesn't expire a little quicker Cold fire Flip it 180 and record what's bound to transpire Loves quagmire Simple desire will always inspire but ensnare a liar Shifty empire Not strange to aspire to be a vicious, succubus, vampire Almost satire An enticing lure to offer for sure but unstable as brushfire Situation's dire Sooner than later fall victim to the inevitable backfire Flimsy tightwire An act in need of fools for hire, speaking to the choir ©2023

While walking In his garden One morning fine Seeing a snake He felt fear Galloping down His spine. As a Camouflaging trick Attired a green silk While zigzagging in The grass thick He should have Squashed its skull With a walking stick. But he preferred To walk away “Let it there stay I better Keep it at bay.” When he Came back home At night He learnt he has Lost his son That suffered A snake’s bite. Misplaced mercy Could backfire To seek peace With the snake One must not tire, For it will drag one Into a quagmire Obligating paying A price higher. Ask for mercy An offender can’t It is also not right Unless s/he Is repentant. Also forget not “Strike before You are struck!” Could afford one Prowess luck. If The aforementioned Advice you got, “Hit when The iron is hot.” Modesty to The heinous And lazy Is equally crazy. If a human snake Buy time No doubt it will Will commit Further crime.

Misplaced mercy
I have an unusual friend. A small man with charms of a gentle redneck. He holds court in his garage for his acquaintances, those free or at large. His demeanour is rustic, but his wisdom self-taught. His name is Byron ( I know, it's too good to be true),  not lordly, but Byron likes the girls and light brew. Byron says, “I'll kick your *** every time we play golf. Not yet. His voice is chasmic and often influenced by distractions. And then on a cold, witch-tit, heathcliffe driving winter's day, with the wood stove well-fired, a rascally friend opens the door, and Byron yells, “Shut the door. Do you think wood grows on trees.” On leaving the same day he advises me, “Don't slip on the ice. It's frozen.” I didn't tell  you Byron has one eye. Better yet, a patch on the other. He looks more like post Frodo  ignoring the “Don't run with scissors" warning from Mother Baggins, than he does Lord B. I dropped my pipe once on his garage floor. A special pipe. It's my bowling pipe. I don't smoke tobacco.  Byron thinks it clever to call me at work and tell my secretary he and I are bowling after school. Byron mixes metaphors. So, my pipe has dropped. Byron says, “ Let me help. Three eyes are better than two.” His cleverness can backfire. I tried to be sensitive, but there was neither an honourable or dishonourable way out. Byron hung an oak wood sign near his stove. He makes his own stain, and rubs it evenly in circles with his wife's old nylons. “It's great for the *********** he'll quip. The two ***** of the sign are joined with leather straps and stainless steel studded to the wood. The letters painted within the stencilled lines are a dark, rich mixture. The joke. “Lift flap in case of fire.” Normally one lifts the flap. “Not now stupit. In case of fire.” I discreetly pointed out the t.The sign quietly disappeared and was never mentioned again. He'll never kick my ***

Sgt. Jack came back from overseas and he didn’t give one. He’d sit outside his backdoor for hours popping caps, swilling cheap beer, smoking Camels with his rifle at the ready nearby, a forty-five in his belt. He’d yell at his dog constantly, expecting it to respond in a friendly manner, but the rocks he had thrown at it over time had spooked it into a submissive role. He never said much, just stared, stared with wild blood-shot eyes that darted to and fro into space. He’d nervously look at the horizon as if something was always about to happen. His favorite line was, “Lock and loaded, let’s move.” And when a car would backfire, he’d scream, “Incoming!” His wife left him for his best friend, his kids never came back around, and his dog died without him moving a muscle. The ****** thing decomposed right out in the middle of his backyard. I guess he was used to the sweet smell of death.

The Sweet Smell of Death (Sgt. Jack)
This is what I have learned about healing: it will come. It’s true what they say, “the first cut is the deepest” that’s because you will find that learning how to heal will become a lifelong skill. Here’s another thing: you can’t let other people heal you. Because it will only backfire in the end, worse than the initial wound. Other people can help along the way, but us humans are too fickle to be saviors. The first step in the healing process is learning to love yourself. The only way to start healing is to believe that you are worth healing. Take time, take as much time as you need. Don’t let other people’s impatience with your lack of progress discourage or frustrate you. Just like you can’t yell at a wound to scar faster you can’t yell at your heart to heal quicker. You must do things you love. I know your bed tells you it’s safe but it’s nothing more than a prison in disguise for a depressed mind. Go outside. Pet a bunch of dogs. Do your laundry. Be around people that make you laugh. Watch movies you’ve never seen. Walk in the park barefoot and watch the sunset alone. Let yourself cry if you need to. Drink lots of black coffee and never stop writing, even if you have nothing to write about. Talk to God, yell at God, cry to God he’s never not listening, never withholding his arms of comfort. This is how you heal. You strip negative people from your life and you work to not become a negative person yourself. Bitterness doesn’t look good on anyone. And you love and appreciate the people that love you and fight for you. Life is a cycle of falling apart and stitching back together, with some consistent plateaus in between. Embrace it, because your scars tell powerful stories.

You're allowed to have male friends I wont keep you isolated Because it will just backfire on me Make things complicated You guys seem to always be going out Keeping me out I'm not there, not knowing what's going on Is there something I should know? I have become that guy the guy that gets frustrated when you're with him When you look at him, talk to him I now see his ways He's acting like the perfect friend but in reality he's trying to get in your pants I'm a boy, I know how this works and he ******* knows we're together But he's...better? Stronger, Taller... Better looking... yes, You told me... Now that I see it this way I cant stand but ask in my head Is there something I should know? I've lost it I've officially lost it **** him, **** your friendship **** it, I'm done I can't do this any more The world is spinning around an atmosphere full of questions Even just a hug, just a single hug with him is enough To make me lose my mind He reached it, your trust, confidence Now he says you should move on find a new man because I'm not good enough? I knew something happened that one day The day I restrained myself from asking you in person, Is there something I should know
