"bashes" poems
Suicidal serial killer bashes the bones hoping to feel nothing because that would be something A Swelling self-image pops in the distance is chewed, then inflated over and over this routine never fails to cycle, disappoint, and please Ethanol injections cuz oral doesn't do **** give it to me ******** ***** I'll munch your muffin just fo nuthin like I'm ****** with y'all Cuz I surf to fall and smoke to die In the high where life is inconsequential to question and I feel less than short Of supernatural Who are these new kids? They dress in tights and pick fights I can't see your face but I trust the feeling Damsel's are rescued blood is spewed Yet insanity is gushing The drugs are running out We might just be super We might just be heroes Entropy enters me ripping the glamour and with a stammer I know This isn't a comic book Marvel In awe at these elaborately induced fabrications and schemes to change the pecking order or chisel the universe to perfection The line of schizophrenic and degenerate flees for the hills that now have eyes

Suicidal Serial Killer
Hypnotic music, joyous sounds surround The fans, all entranced by the performers. The drummer happily bashes and pounds Everything he sees shaped like cylinders. The hi-hat steadily keeps the rhythm, The bass drum makes a thud, quite powerful. The crowd can't help but nod along with him As he makes these beats so insatiable. The cymbals create such fearful crashes, And his finely tuned snare shoots roaring pops Hurtling towards the off-guard masses, This manic madness just can't seem to stop! What exactly does he have left to prove? *He simply wants to see everyone groove!*

21st Century Drummer Boy
I sit back on the computer, Browsing through the pages of those I grew up with Those people who thought they knew everything about me I sit back and see what they’ve made of themselves This girl is single, living alone with her four cats This other girl now has two kids, unmarried and no degree This girl is engaged to her high school sweetheart, yet they don’t look happy This other couple broke up, wait they’re back together, nope spoke too soon This guy is working at the local supermarket, never went to college after his arrest This guy gained a few pounds, no longer the star athlete This guy dropped off the map See being the quiet girl, I learned secrets I knew the deepest secrets of every single one of these people Because while they sat in the back of the room chattering on about their so called problems I was sitting in the front, Listening This girl had two boyfriends, and even more flings This girl slept with four guys in one night This girl’s boyfriend cheated on her, over and over again This couple would sneak off in between classes, during lunch, or school assemblies This guy was the trophy child, who gave away free drugs to his friends hidden inside pens This guy was the quarterback; everything handed to him on a golden platter This guy was the school stud who was hiding a relationship with his boyfriend by sleeping with every girl he could Back then I listened because I wanted to feel apart of something bigger I wanted to be one of them, I wanted to be invited to all those weekend bashes I wanted to be the girl people felt awed by, inspired by, idolized I wanted to be part of the “in” crowd So I stood there, day after day As they teased me Berated me Shattered my confidence Tearing apart everything I was Telling me I would never amount to anything Telling me I was fat, ugly, stupid That I unworthy of love Telling me… I Was Nothing Let them tell me that today I see everything of what they have become Those people I wanted to be are no longer there Their confidence shattered by reality The best days of their life ended the day they left high school Mine on the other hand are just beginning I am the girl who is wanted I’m the girl who can go wild I’m the girl who can be passionate I’m the girl who is adventurous I’m the girl who brings pride I’m the girl who is the athlete I'm the girl who travels the world I’m the girl who is unashamed of who I am Because by pushing me out My oppressors gave me everything I needed The strength to try The courage to dream The ability to think The confidence to be unique Independence to thrive But more than anything My oppressors gave me desire Desire to be more than they believed I could be

Sitting Back

I work for the machine that bashes bastardized beauty into the face of the masses The status quo of oppressing the Goddess to some golden ratio of ***** perfection "We set the standards, baby" An arrogance of man, A battle born in blood objectifying some sacred symbol, The cosmic **** we all crawled out of as star dust The holy hole to heaven on Earth Gaia taken advantage of Rejecting the gift of consciousness We'll de-evolve like past-life regressions like we're so self-entitled to  come back around Among the cosmos cradled in the crescent  Deny yourself the mystique of the feminine The clashing of the anima and animus The syzergy of  the sun  the moon  and us Call on your angels And submit to the psychosis My brothers, These are our  sisters and mothers They don't want to castrate The ******* symbol Destroy the alpha male And the omega oppression The beginning and the end of **** shaming  I worked for the  misogyny machinery of Moloch My heart no longer beats here It just bleeds for her.

This Is What A Feminist Looks Like
I feel the breeze brush my skin. I feel nostalgia begin. And I just want to sit awhile And let it all sink in. Sit here with me Under the shade of this oak tree, Whose branches we would climb When we were younger, Long before we lost the hunger To go beyond the world we knew. So what do you say We pass away the afternoon Just staring up at the sky? Finding pictures in the clouds As they go passing  by. We can talk of days long gone, The things we've done, The roads we're on And people we use to know. Discuss all the little things: Family, friends and enemies, And see where the stories go. We can let the day fade As we sit within the shade. I can feel the night time cold. On my memories it pulls. And the familiarity Has got me feeling old. Lean against the bark with me, Where we once carved our names for all to see. Etchings that have long since faded Through the battering storms. The same clashes and bashes and lighting flashes That left us all weathered and worn. We can name the constellations That our memories still retain, And make up our own For all the stars that still remain. Let's discuss the existential questions: The meaning of it all. Embrace the cluelessness in The conclusions that we draw. And when there's nothing more to say, No more answers to be reached, We can pass away the darkness In the silence finally breached.

Staring at the Sky
The ninth beatitude Blessed are the transformed and the transformers For they shall know gratitude. Hair attitudes are our beatitudes How can I not love my hair Short, cropped. ***** Long, cascading locks Braids falling adoringly Embracing cheekbones of Historical beauty. Hair diva's Divinity, defying gravity...Black hair Submitting to heat, or the nimble. Fingers of scientist, chemist who Are born to a life dedicated to Beautification of her sisters and daughters None since Madam C.J. Walker has had This talent in abundance. She put her wrist in the twist. And the "aid" in the braid… new wave Whose passion is to adore what She's put into you; She is the true “goddess of hair” You are In good hands as She dares you to move, or bat an eyelash less She bashes you, or threatens to abort the mission Leaving you to Your own device-Her advice is to become at one with her- Become putty in her hands. Her hands plant, plaiting love and patience into every wrung…Moms, And Hair Magicians, growing hands That loom, weave and condition; Grooming reluctant ducklings. Into graceful swans Grooming you for greatness. (To my best friend) https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11026273_1641865029363011_1932455644687694397_n.jpg?oh=2c95a0eb069b5f996f26494e277bd734&oe;=56C6FF8B

Dedicated to the Living legend Nefertiti aka Janifer Philpot
I want to go to the circus with him and fail at the tricks at home I want to dance in the rain with him and jump in puddles in gumboots I want to climb trees with him with binoculars and look over the lake I want to build a pillow fort with him, with Disney movies and chocolate Something took a hold of me right in the moment I accidentally got lost in those eyes first time looking into them His smile made so happy and I think he noticed because he smiled more I literally felt sparks and a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart I didn't plan on this happening, far out I swore to only fall inlove with myself Too much pain and love is so overrated But it was beyond my control And then cupid's arrows kept hitting me Just a moment in the pouring rain I saw myself and a billion adventures together in him A deep urge to hug him came over me He's so dorky and cute and sweet and innocent He wears a big clunky watch and is good at maths and computers He does acoustic covers of Of Monsters and Men songs He runs around like a maniac in PE and bashes up his friends playfully There is no definition and there aren't any rules for love If you think a person is just the bee's knees, that's love I'm only young but I know an awesome person when I see one And God will always hold my heart but man, this human... I adore him I feel stupid for letting another person contain some of MY own joy I feel so scared that I fell for just the idea of him like I have once before But ugh, words can't describe how content my heart is I refuse to say he erased my pain, because let's not be naive, but wow One day I hope we get to conquer the world in our pillow fortress <3

We have touched so much since December, steeping teas torrid and arctic ice cubes a thousand fibers, prince bee his princess generous blankets papering flu the drizzle on wedding dawns or departure’s eve pieces of candy for holiday celebrations even the ending of a movie – these are wild fingers that we have rebellious, juveniles in mind singing summer stories through knuckles bodies long slenderized and they are more than myself to them, I have no name but my brain and I are their mother a well-mannered woman in command I feed them lotion, then play in the sand apathetic whistles papercuts that sting with mouths as lions tigers bears sharks leaves asking which hurts most significantly of all we have loved – and then again, what enduring does not belong? The adolescents scoff at each of their five circadian baths, and I hear cries for showers because soap makes them crack but it is in your best interest, I say; you touch everything that gets in your way to move is beauty and transitioning more so: my hands are dancers, pirouetting on stage to fall harmoniously with bashes, revelations, words I care to mean yes, these are what causes the bleed of my aging hands, and throughout their years, rings dying them green.

wild fingers
Jesus hangs from my rearview mirror, forced to sway from side to side to the Devil's music -- Big Brother with His ever watchful, weeping lenses. Most nights I ignore His chimes as He bashes other charms and mementos on silver chains, but from the corner of my eye I pray for forgiveness as His aura changes from red to green. Sins and skidmarks are left behind the white line and ***** palms -- wet and hope streaked -- drive the wheel home.

Stoplight Confessional
The dissonance in the air visiting flashes sonically weaving trembling tales of flash floods and brushfires. intertwined between and beneath leathery scales, dorsal fins and rat tails. Intimate whispered coded messages massaging ear drum lines menacingly, scratching the passages, cruising through each hall. tapping at every door. With a gravely groan, reciting a indecipherable buddhist koan. Laugh as you may The moon will leave Without a notice We'll be without Another day. The dissonance in the air leaving car crashes and birthday bashes in shambled states of stasis smiling bits of shrapnel suspended in howling fits of laughter smoldering hordes of children melting under summer suns all while a paramedic belts out birthday songs and a clown juggles displaced screws and cogs. Disasters and dances have more in common than dispatchers and discjockeys.

D Level Rations
Just mahogany and horsehide glue, machine heads and a ***** or two. Plywood top, solid sides and back, bone and fake ivory, ebony, and shellac. Steel and bronze wire, to make her ring. A well placed sound hole to let her sing. But for love or money I played here every week, for 30 years she has earned my keep. Four star restaurants, or beer soaked bars, or serenading a lover under summer night stars. A joyous birthday, sad funeral of a friend, she's always been there, on one I can depend. Drunken'- Dancin' New Years Eve bashes, barbequed sun baked poolside splashes. St. Valentine's Day love songs, wine and roses, or a smoky old blues club that never closes. A nursing home sing along on St. Patty's day, a hurricane party till we all got blown away. Christmas carols by soft candlelight, I've played this guitar most every night. From Florida to Canada, Vegas to NYC, from Frank Sinatra, to Conway Twitty. Zeppelin to Bach, JT to Pink Floyd, anything to keep me from being employed. One night in Nashville Greg Allman played on her, And asked me to join him, oh what an honor. We make people happy, we bring them together, when I play on her I am as light as a feather. Some fell in love, and got married from our tunes, some nights we're alone on sugar beach dunes. She's filled up my tip jar, and filled up my heart. Because of this guitar my life got its start. I've sat up with her all night, when she was sick, changed strings a million times, broken many a pick. Caressed her, strummed her, as she dashed my fears, cussed her and ****** her, as she tasted my tears. With her I wooed my lover, until she married me. She has been my addiction, and she has set me free. They applaud for me, but she's really the star. I know it's just wood and wire, but she's my guitar. ###====(==O==== )###====(==O==== ) ###====(==O==== ) For my Takamine "Lawsuit" I bought in Nashville in 1982.

There's a really heavy typewriter on the shelf above me. It's old. It's broken. It's beautiful. "I wish I could use it." is always my first thought when I stare up into its under-carriage of prongs and teeth. It doesn't fit on the shelf, and it surely doesn't belong there. My first thought should be "That may fall and **** me at any moment", but I think I avoid that thought because I kind of hope it does. What a way to go out. Not intentional. I didn't put it up there with the intention of it becoming some sort of Medieval time-bomb, but the symbology behind that accidental death would be enough for me to be satisfied with the ending of my life. If you manage to banish the senseless fascination with your imagination's speculation of what people will think of you if you do THIS...or when THAT happens...then what's there to fear about failure? Failure just becomes progress at that point. There's a really heavy typewriter on the shelf above me, and a part of me hopes that it falls and bashes my skull in.

There's a really heavy typewriter on the shelf above me.
Powder of ashes like snowfall in winter The air and army withered in a splinter Smoky-grey flaky leaves dead and forgotten Each cobblestone tinted and tainted Things of dishearten I stand in the middle of a big large road With ashen embers resting on my lashes My coat and tote limp from the bashes People lay, some far away and some grey, The death spell cast on all the bay I feel a tug in my heart, Shocked at the sight Cursed fates for a deadly plight I stand alone, guilty for having survived No goodbyes or funerals to leave me teary-eyed The carpet of carcasses in front of me lay Left me with loud realization of a lonesome foray I wished I were blamed for their unjustified departure Or for my survival inexplicable in any form of literature The sky now looks a faded rotten orange With the embers settled like a thick mat on the ground Suddenly the sound of tip tap made me jump From my lost thoughts. My coat and tote comes back to life I feel a tug and around my calf a hug The most innocent eyes looked up at me And said, “Mommy, I want to go home please…”

Phoenix from the Ashes
Just like everybody else I was learning for myself Just what would make me sick And how the whole world ticks. Then I quickly ran into collusion Left me in a state of confusion. I learned about rationalization And self-righteous indignation From purveyors of hypocrisy Passed off as great philosophy That labeled some as dross, Not fit to be the lowest boss. I watched people get locked out And ignored when they shouted The bosses talking about degrees Driving workers to their knees Because they couldn’t afford College room and board For the four years of beer bashes And drunken month-long crashes In Mexican towns full of them That could go there on a whim While the children of the working class Worked hard so their kids could pass And have a chance to get ahead Instead of a shoveling until dead. I was learning this first-hand That not all of life was grand If you could not afford to buy. And banks just passed you by When you needed a car Because work was so far From where you had to stay In the neighborhoods far away From the nice neat places And squeaky clean faces Of those who inherited wealth Or were sent to schools That sent out the fools That knew how to look nice. And nobody thought twice When they weren’t quite as bright As the people that had to fight For an opening, then trained So the rich kid could maintain In a job he didn’t qualify for But he had the SAT score To prove he was intelligent And had the proper quotient Whether he could deliver or not. The rest was all just rot. And nobody paid attention Nor would they mention The kid was a well-trained fool And what he learned in class Was how to look good and pass For a person smarter than The average working man. That’s what I learned first-hand And what I came to understand.

Das Fuehrer gefüllt mit Flöte. Listening 2 yawns, meditating on medication, lisping a cry to Das Führer, I proffer a pray, im morgen Früh, im morgen Führer, im morgen nah; hören Sie mich. Not 4 pleasure yearning 4 unright Unctuous crimes. Not with U. Not with boast (yet not with hate 2). Hating the bath water with the babe as it bashes Reaper's polemic hellfire falling out of window; Still me, in that kindness enters my home, bowing cuz the doorway is 2 large. Guiding in black ink, writing a way out of loyalties mouth, out of sclerotic liver, and contumacious throat. I tongue an act, a play, staying guilty in U, saying guilty in Us. Lemmings encouraged to revolt, Offending in U, Rejoicing only in Us. Witness our joy, that Xanex protects against dull moments, forgetting Us, bland blessings rightly Surrounded by Yawn's shield.

Song #5
1720, work’s all done. Listen boss, I got to dash. Stopped at florist. Bought red roses for his lover. Ran down the street clutching his bunch. Glanced at his watch. Sees that he’s late. To meet the wife. Anniversary date. Puts his hand in jacket pocket. Aims to find his mobile. Silly sod forgot it. Got to the phone box on the corner of the street. Waited a minute or two. Until in desperation, to give apologetic explanation. Tap, tap tap, he rapped. Bashes on the phone box door. A silly old dear with hair rinsed in blue. Spins round with venomous tongue. Shouts out loud. “Be patient son”. “Can’t you see I’m having a chat!” Chatter chatter. Natter natter. On and on she went. Dude outside was going mental. Mrs Ancient left the cubicle. Throwing ***** looks around. Huffing a puffing, like the dragon she is. The flower man flies in the box. Receiver picked up. Dials lady lover’s number. Typically the number’s engaged. So, spitting fire the fella’s enraged. Tired of trying to explain. Knowing his next train is due in a while. Runs from the kiosk not wearing a smile. In his ire he chucked the roses. Landed in the ******* bin. At the terminus of train at last. The flower seller grinned at him. She could see his stress shine through. Sold him a bunch of lilies of peace. Before on to the train he swept. Key in the front door. Inside he ventured. Smelling cremated dinner burn. “Oops darling I’m so sorry. You’d never believe the day I had. See darling. I didn’t forget our anniversary!” (C) Livvi 2014

The road was shiny slick with glissoning rain as I flew  down the highway, Owl city's voices hymed through the poors of my radio, "When I'm far too tird to fall asleep"  they say, A car rushes round the corner so I switch my lights to low. A Buzz or two, A twinckle light luminates the middle concile, U coming home baby? We miss you:( Heh, I miss u2 A little  girl goldest hair  you can  think of pops into my head, "Daddy" she says  arm streched wide inviting, "Welcome home, Daddy," the lovliest women  you'd ever seen said, I walk in and the aroma of chiken, mash patatos, and fresh cut bean meet me I'm home in time for supper that's supprizing. God it's so late, My headlights chase after the yellow dashed line, Buzz When you get hom we should go on a d8 22 miles till home says the sign. Such a long drive, but to where I'm going it's worth it, into bed's the first place I'll dive, all the rain glows like a candle that's lit. Buzz We can't  wait 2c u:) Reply me 2 I set me phone on the dashboard as I start to round the mountian's sleek edges, Rain sets the road like ice, Buzz! I love you;) In the distance apears yellow wedges, My breaks are squeaking mice. Hydroplaning we lose control, My head bashes gainst the air bag, driffting away is my soul, Head hung eyes sag. Buzz I love you

Their minds refuse to pace themselves Their hearts refuse to wait Their faces split in twos one day Their souls once pure do taint Their goals will slip Their dreams do shake Their honesty no longer exists Their lying Their cheating Their struggle for power Their need for attention from anyone Their morals have changed for the worst Their pants have turned to mini skirts Their study dates turn to bush bashes Their 'never shall I ever's' turn to 'always' They all turn into the things They swore they would never be Once they go through high school

Never Shall I Ever
Thought I never openly brag on it I never found it something to dwell on You made a gift so emotional that it could never be bought So inspirational it must be felt and not taught Then life happened, and so did you Changing to somebody I could barely view You spent your days at parties and bashes, long forgetting your truest friends You left our messages on red and blue, and even when I waited for you You never rung back You greatly post about your life, as if you beg for the attention And looking back and taking some introspection I realize we were the sun and the moon Always to be apart, always to have a pull and push Always to end things early, always to say goodbye too soon Never ready and never to see the use I'd ping you motivation and say your eyes spark into the souls of millions You'd see this message and reply later as if my response is vermillion You'd say I ignore you for having nothing to work with And yet I adored you even when you thought I wouldn't persist Months on end a single ping from you is all I wanted and seconds on end my response time made you astonished Many call you out to your way of delaying friendships, to keep them on hold and return when you are in pieces To have us piece you back together because you learnt this world is vicious You even told me you find my concern for you so alarming, how anybody so genuine could love **** like you And even now I second guess before I throw blame and hit skew You called guys manipulative and even called my lack of time a game Yet always cried and pleaded when we called you out for the same So determined to keep a guy on the line while lusting for another You find it naïve of me to not act like your brother It's saddening to think we may never find comfort in speaking again And where I wished you at every occasion, you never wished me a happy birthday You never told me happy Birthday

filial pattern like fingerprint on glass so it passes in blows and bashes reflections loom in over under around to what end can we change rock-face and crag eroded murky-waterfront

passage
just forget what i had just said am sorry that i came a bit late but i thought that I'd always have the chance for the sake of humanity we have been friends for long remember when we visited river Mathioya remember all the bashes and all the good times we had how could you forget my birthday and all the fun we had there he came just the other day how much do you really know about him how sure are you he is here to stay why wouldn't you ask me first just like you do with other opinions am sorry if you feel blamed the fault is entirely mine i took my sweet time to mount up enough courage twice or thrice i have hesitated so today when i said i love you when i said that i wanted us to be when i said that i have known you well so well that i could take the journey with you to a future of the unknown it took me all the energy i could summon and all the courage i could gather but i cant change anything now i should have said it earlier i should have told you how i felt i should have let it out i allowed him to take you for tea i didn't know he would ask you that now that you said yes to him i feel empty inside i feel like i have lost it all am sorry it took me long but if i had the power to turn back time I'd ask you out the instance we meet i painted my heart with the colors you like but now you have a new home i cry only for tonight and tomorrow a new journey begins a wrecking ball for the walls its time to move on but how do i move on when all i have ever loved is you how could i approach another while it's you on ma mind how can i listen to another voice when yours is ringing in both ears. i will keep my distance but i will always love you....

It's 5:54 a.m. and the hot salty water bashes against the sand. Now, the first cars emerge from the night-time lights. I see a couple, Him white shirt Her black shirt Looking like tourists, They have the same desoriented expression as I do. Couple blocks away I watch the red neon Blinking from the distance, Next thing I know I'm traveling through each yellow light each window every spit of sea foam every palm tree, On top of another hotel I found a room with lights on, yet No one seems to be dazzling in the dark Gazing the horizon and the dark sea All by himself... ...besides this hopeless fool waiting for the sunrise

I think that in the end we would rather keep our pain than jump at a chance for joy.... We would rather hate than forgive and forget because forgiving makes it "ok". We would rather keep our own crosses than trade for anything else... I would rather go home to a husband who bashes my face in and his gifts to me are a couple of broken bones and bruises than take a chance with this cold world.... Once you find someone who loves u.. love u in their own kind of way... everything seems OK, perfect even... because nothing hurts more than rejection and uncertainty... It has to hurt to be "Love" ,,, right CUPID?
