"bargin" poems
*You're a just a pathetic little weakingling that nobody will ever love.
Your own father rejected you because he knew what was to come.
You can't stay in sports, you give up on your talents.
You waste your good looks, and you're all out of balance.
You disappoint your family, hell, you were a worthless mistake.
Yeah, go ahead, pick up the bottle, you always seem to break.
You can't keep it together, and you're a failure at life.
You bargin everynight with the same, dull knife.
You think god isn't real, hah, he is, he just has better things to do.
Than to try and love a miserable **** up like you.
You couldn't even hide those petty little scars.
And now the world can see what waste you are.
You hurt your mother; you make her cry.
Yet you have the audacity to wonder why.
Look at yourself, you're a wreck, you're a mess.
All you bring others is worry and stress.
So go ahead do the world a favour.
Don't even bother with the pencil and paper.
Forget the blades, and forget the pills, just get it right.
Grab the gun and you can end it all tonight*.
The voices told her this everynight.
She was giving up; she didn't want to fight.
Society altered her beautiful mind.
And a dead body is all you'll find.
No one understands, why she ended her life.
All people can do is mourn; cry; wonder why.
She was beauty, she was a wonder.
Then her scars were well discovered.
They spoke a story, loud and clear.
As if she herself whispered the answers in their ears.
She locked herself up to fight a battle alone.
A battle that she could have easily won.
She pushed there love away, for the fear of rejection.
While spiraling into a manic depression.
Fear in her eyes that nobody saw.
Now everyone looks and wonders with awe.
All that's left is to say goodbye.
An angle is born, and the demons died.

The two-thirty train
Sweeps beside the river
I spent this moment in silent meditation
So many nights
So much of Spring
So much of Summer
This train is beautiful ambient noise
accompanying every thought filling this room
a soundtrack of clarity
I thought of laying awake with you
from a distance
I thought of laying awake alone somewhere else
missing the two-thirty train
It's starting to smell like Spring
It's starting to smell like Summer
It makes me think closeness
It makes me think of distance
Its a sick sweetness
I fondly remember moments far from fond
We stayed up talking on a school night
Youthful indiscretion
Half asleep giving anything to stay up
Wanting to see inside of what you thought you were
Wanting to hush your mind
What you thought you should be but weren't
Some nights I vividly recall shallow breathing right beside me
Inside my ears
You were as much here as you were there
I fall asleep with your breath tucked away in my brain
If I close my eyes you're beside me
But unable to embraced
Some nights I wouldn't dare sleep
Busy big hands with a little screen
Clicking touch-pad letters
Giving you a thousand reasons to stick around
A thousand resolutions
A thousand promises
And my thousands hours at your disposal
It's noon the next morning
You've yet to wake
I questioned if you would
In my mind we stayed up till dawn
Nursing you with what I have at my disposal
Sweet words
Every one true
The night before, I had heard the train
I was slumped into my pillow
Observing you from a distance
Asking that anything salvage you
Asking to carry your burdens
I begin to bargin
That you stick around longer with me
I lay here
Where I laid then
The train is beautiful ambient noise
I slip away from these memories
In time to hear the train depart
Its been a year and I think about that night
You woke up
I always want to make sure you do

... the host waylaid!
I knew a woman on the street
Terrified and weary.
She had no place to go
Her prospects were dreary...
I took her in my home,
First checking with my folks.
She had a desire to help me
I knew this was no hoax...
But she had a brother
And his common-law wife
I was talked into helping THEM
The decision caused much strife...
They parked their car behind our house - and they slept inside it
I would have done more
But my folks decide it...
They never stole a thing
He helped in the garden
The ladies helped inside
It was a good bargin...
Until I found the couple
Had a penchant for SPICE.
A designer drug
Its effects far from nice...
I was put out totally
And asked them all to LEAVE
But I've been friends with the sister
And so my spirit grieves!
The lady I had helped out at first
Uses no drugs nor drinks
I have to decide...
... I ask you what you think.
Should i take her BACK?
Allow her to stay?
I'm not sure what to do...
... and continue to PRAY!!!

We are made of wood, we
rot from the inside out,
for men of STONE went extinct years ago.
We are the trees
our a r m s and l
e
g
s
are branches
Our fingers
twigs and leaves
our hearts easily set a l z
b a e by emotions carved on
our trunks
We burn for one another
like a forest fire,
but if we all fall to the flame
we will soon be men of a s h e s ....
II
Where are the golden halos?
the jeweled crowns of the gods?
have they tumbled from the h e a v e n s
down below the sea
pass hell's gate
and into your hands?
They're looking for them,
they'll find you.
But not until April,
because Persephone will be back by then,
and hell will be less tense.
Until then, guard them.
You know the demons come out at night,
ready to bargin,
but dont make the deal.
Wait for April.
Wait for the flowers to bloom,
and the rain to fall,
before you return the crowns.

They came on horses
in gold and red.
My father and his friends stared at them
in the way only arrogant American men can.
They trotted on by with their horses
that wore blindfolds
and gold horseshoes.
They did not say a word.
They did not look at anyone.
They
did
nothing
wrong.
My father sleeps with the blindfold on at night
and carries one of the horseshoes in his pocket.
I haven't seen the gold and red horse riders since they came
that one day
with no words to say
and no eyes to be met
on their blinded stallions.
My father says we're not allowed to talk about them.
He doesn't let me wear red and gold anymore.

I am dumb, stupid, and unintelligent,
I an barely write for I am inelliquent.
But are those two statements ones I believe?
Do I doubt myself with little reprieve?
And are those words even the truth?
And if they are, where is the proof?
Who says my intelligence is my only value?
Or that my skills or talents are very few?
I don't have answers for these questions here'
But I have been given advice so dear.
"You are not stupid,
For stupidity is foolishness.
You are not dumb,
For the dumb cannot speak."
I am more than the knowledge I store,
I am worth more than anyone could bargin for.
My skills don't define me,
My IQ isn't my identity.
I was given a purpose I will one day see,
For thats why I believe God created me.
He's given me an imaginative mind.
He's blessed me with the desire to be caring and kind.
Does this mean I don't doubt anymore?
That I don't wonder what my purpose is for?
I still doubt, even with proof,
But I know I can always turn to the truth.
I just remember that simple phrase,
This quote that reminds me everyday.
"I am not stupid,
For stupidity is foolishness.
I am not dumb,
For the dumb cannot speak."
And just because I don't know everything, doesn't mean I'm weak.

pick em up, brother
and roll the dice, friend
7 & 11 are winners
the rest?
just pick up the dice & roll em again
til it seems alright
the government man doesn't ask
for my advice
& I'm sick of the way
he keeps a'bargin on it
I think its time we forget
all the bets
just keep the dice rollin
& see what we get
& keep on rollin til we get
to the end
life's kinda hard
but I ain't thru
with it yet

Too simple still
To fall in love
This chest was born wide open
Displaying vital organs
An extraordinary bargin
Then they began to slip away
were broken, cracked, or stolen.
And walls were built and made to stay
But now my heart is swollen
The fear of joy
For all my days
A path that could be certain
Because of that
Potential threat
To this most vital *****

Patience,
Is the only necessary condition,
When dealing with emotional ice.
In a way,
That hours clip those moments of sadness,
& help us realize,
That what happened,
Really did happen.
Common sense,
Is the cliff, when seeing things,
You couldn't see before.
Like those old stories,
Which unravels showing evidence of morals.
A portrait painted with our fingertips,
& rain water.
The oceans were a country.
A developer of nature's union.
Like a mundane plea,
Becoming a bargin for soul transportation.
Tranquility,
Is the only effect,
To the cause of pain.

Follow me, I'll show you
I'll walk along the roads with you
And stones they cast at you
Are cast at me too.
Branded outcast, forbidden
There is no place we haven't hidden
Left smitten, in the sake
I **** in.
Your brand name, your fire
Promises to take me higher
Leave me weeping in regret
Your such a clever liar
You know me, you showed me
Should of listened when they told me
Cheap bargin and I sold me
Now only sin consoles me.

My ideal love is a love that catches me by surprise.
The realization of intelligent things and conversations that literally take us anywhere.
My ideal love is a love that expresses ideal.
The ramifications that influence us to be who we really are in front of who we are.
A love that doesn't mind bargin shopping and putting together hundred dollar outfits that really cost $10.
The reality that its the most simplest of things that are most significant.
A spontaneous love that doesn't mind the predictability of living today before exploring the mystery of tomorrow.
Here after the after thought that we exist in the past as well as the present simultaneously.
If ever in need I'll do my best to provide all that I can for an ideal love.
Through these actions I believe the true miracle is achieved.
An ideal love that is beyond ideal.
Who sets the where and how we meet, the institutions of bliss where the masses are limited to love and longing.
To find patience and compassion sitting on the front lawn on the same institution.
As long as she provides a kiss that can send me outside of my own thoughts, and pull me closer to hers.
My ideal love wouldn't be based on a B.E.T movie.
A single expression that summarizes a scorned woman letting go.
A cliff note of lust soon as the next sceen fades to black.
Her ******* pulled down not knowing the dude is secretly abusive.
140 minutes gone by to realize the last 5 mins were the ones that made her truly happy.
The woes of love.
My ideal love is a woman built with ambition but with a heart big enough to understand that without sacrifice nothing is truly accomplished.
A culture made in truth, ripped off by those who ignore that struggle is what makes us who we are.
The courage to walk out in front and be who we really are.
A real woman that doesn't mind lounging around the house that knows whom Budda and Huey Newton was.
This revolution of ideal starts the moment I realize that I never stood a chance.
The surprise of her lips against my cheek.
I drink from this remedy each time you open your lips.
So in silence I gasp.
As you caught me off guard,
My ideal love

My eyes are red like a sunset,
Devils dance.
my end of the bargin has been met.
Welcome to my rainy day
Forces and darkness come out to play
My life ebbs again
At the end of a ball point pen

I bargin for simplicity
Of life
To come and haunt me
Instead of dry
Dusty leaves
Stone temple
Voodoo curses
And late night
Sun rides

so look at me
