"blabber" poems
The colors I wished to touch I finally did on a still wild parrot Beneath the electric pole That woke up now and then In angry alien blabber. I don't know if I like Those colors any more.

I heard from a little birdie That you've been talking about me When I'm not there to defend myself You're a sneaky ***** aren't you What were you trying to do? What were you trying to achieve I mean Please explain to me What you meant by "Blabber mouth" "Annoying" "Needs to shut up" Because I'm confused Now this is the part were you deny it Say I'm wrong That what you want anyway But you see When you're a ***** You don't win And you don't get what you want I'm glad I found out now Or else things might be worse Because there are so many things you are 2-faced is just one And you can say all you want about me I mean you already do So go ahead and call me a ***** Thats ok Because Rae It takes a ***** To know a ***** *****

Trump: The Poem
In to the mystery of the night, i wander the tangled tarantula garden canopied with prophesies of light, Lit windows are making overtures to desires night unleashes at these hours, hear the buzz in the air its time to make love, darkness forgets  hurt and embraces light. i walk alone, but an enchanting witch wait for me somewhere in a garden bench, to take me by my  hand to her secret haunt filled with thick smoke of **** where she will remove the drapes to let me see the truth. On her quill and cactus bed, she would make me understand, how far is pleasure from pain why darkness stalks light, a jilted lover, walking a few steps behind, I've heard her, once whisper to wind in her husky voice "A  life written off by those who measure out life with coffee spoons, as spent in vein; this life of mine, could have its secret treasures, no charlatan could ever guess about a serpent's diamonds very few get to see, its dangerous to pry, i forgive their ignorance" Words induced by her dark power has layers of meaning but to many it was just meaningless jabbering, just magic mushroom blabber She nibbled and nicked my earlobes, in between intoxicating purrs, told me the meaning of caterwauls, **"Its not pain, its not pain, once you get in to the stream you only want to drain, in to the vast blue ocean"** I recognize now,  it's Walpurgis night, as i walk in search of my witch, i see dancers around bonfire, revelers totally out of their minds, carouse at the heart of the night. And i see them all, witches in marine blue dresses, enchantresses in blackly black, coquettish red or groovy green, I wait for her to appear, the only one in resplendent white.

The witch in Walpurgis night
In to the mystery of the night, i wander the tangled tarantula garden canopied with prophesies of light, Lit windows are making overtures to desires night unleashes at these hours, hear the buzz in the air its time to make love, darkness forgets  hurt and embraces light. i walk alone, but an enchanting witch wait for me somewhere in a garden bench, to take me by my  hand to her secret haunt filled with thick smoke of **** where she will remove the drapes to let me see the truth.

This is a Bleeping Bopping Boo. Bleeping Bopping Boo lives on the biggest bandana in Boston. Bleeping Bopping Boo eats big black butterflies, blankets, blue bananas and bears. Bleeping Bopping Boo likes beating up babies, belly dancing, bouncing on buffalo's back and abducting bananas. Bleeping Bopping Boo breaks into buffalo bodies, blame babies for bad stuff, and blabber all day. Bleeping Bopping Boo banged my back against a box. Oy the Bleeping Bopping Boo./Users/mlackritz/Desktop/Screen shot 2012-05-22 at 3.22.47 PM.png

heal me with your ***** madness.
He looks at me with question in his eyes, His mouth moving but not saying anything, His ears cocked towards me like a dog, Listening attentively. By holding my hand he encourages me, His smile making a request. “I’m here for you, to help you out, so say what comes to your head.” I begin with my monologue, and tell him the tales of my heart. What has me down and worried, I share with him un-flinchingly. He holds my hand when it gets difficult, as if compassion flows through his veins. His mind is void of any judgement. Throughout the narration, all his senses motivate me. “Come out with it!” they say together. To my heart it’s a life boat you see!? Because in this age of all the blabber. It’s hard to find a good listener. A listener who wants to know you better, And help you out genuinely. As I finish my tale he hugs me tight, Letting me know he understands. And in the future if there comes a bumper, then I can always hold his hand.

Qualities of a good listener
Day by day I turned the page, day by day I read your words; Gradually, heavily, leisurely-not, I leave my body, unconsciously. Covered with long white sleeves, muttering and uttering, "Change does not exist, one simply takes one step closer to their true self." Natheless, drifting was I, and you say true self; Withal, nameless was mine, yet you blabber true self. Unknown and unseen, haunting me dawn and dusk; So there it lies, my stranger, my true self.

"You fight like a girl" Men seem all confident, strong and macho and what not but the moment this phrase strikes their ears, they all get offended, turn into cry babies & start defending their so called manhood I have seen this with my own eyes, and I  seriously cant remember how many times Its funny how society has turned  women into synonym for weakness when the same women's strength to push them out of their bodies is their gateway to life & its funnier how they think they are superior just because of that little thing between their legs And its the same men who cant find their own socks without their wife Its funny how men who worship their mothers often forget to respect the girls who walk down the alley And Its funnier how its the woman who leaves her family but has to live like she owes her life to the man she marries Its funny how a to-be-mother carries her baby for 9 months building a life out of matter but the moment it comes out of the womb, its given the name of just the father Its more funny how we talk about getting rid of  gender roles yet look at a woman with disgrace when you find out she doesn't cook. And  the funniest of all is how we blabber about these civilisation & equality tricks and blame women for dressing too ****** but forget to tell the men to calm their ***** And yet a woman stands there strong Fighting through all these odds as if being born a female was her biggest mistake of all And still. Still, the most insulting phrase men find to throw at each others is," Dude You fight like a girl!" And this is my only message, to all those macho men who use that golden phrase Maybe thinking, it makes them sound manlier somehow "If he really fought like a girl, trust me bruh, You d be dead by now." --------------------------------------------------------- "Fight like a girl, Yes I do, And if you dare be that strong, you would too" ~ Kakareikan

This time I will make sure to laugh at your silly jokes.... But next time I will make sure to make silly jokes on your laughter..... This time I will make sure to listen all your blabber... But next time I will make sure to blabber to listen me.... This time I will make sure to agree with everyone..... But next time I will make sure that everyone will agree with me.... This time I will make sure to be shelled by your breaks....... But next time I will make sure to break all those shells.....

Breaking Shells...
I find innocuous corners in the unfathomable depths of humanity. Then I weave a silken web of lies against the tapestries of fate. The longer the web takes, the more fabulous its construction, peppered both with illusions and realities. For the greatest illusion is the one most rooted in truth. I have no need to chase; my patience is as consummate a force as any; I wait for my prey to come to me on their own, And then I ensnare them, injecting them with venom, Rendering them unable to escape. The web is an extension to my soul. To my spirit. It is me, and my weapon. Its substance is known to me. My webs are lies mixed with truths, despair colored with hope. They are a crawling infinity of colors, An eternal tribute to orderly and savage chaos. Each strand, which links me to my prey and my predators, Each one resonates under the steps of the dancing mad god, Vibrating and sending little echoes of bravery or cowardice, Satiation or hunger, Destruction or architecture, Blabber or argument, Each strand carries my reaction to everyone who is connected to me. Every intention, interaction, motivation that I have been plagued with, Every color, everybody, every action and reaction that I have endured, Every piece of physical reality and the thoughts that it engendered, Every connection made, every nuanced moment of history and potentiality, Every possible thing that ever was, ever is and ever will be with regard to me, Woven into that limitless, sprawling web. It is without beginning or end. It is complex to a degree that humbles the mind. It is not a weapon. It is a trap. A trap, one to which I fall every single time. Infinitely bitten, never shy. I can renounce the world again. I can turn away once more. But it never lasts. The web is too spread out. There are other spiders on it, Spiders, which have tethered me to this plane of reality, With their own silken threads. It is too late. Too late to draw the strings close. It is too late. Too late to destroy my prison, too late to destroy my weapon. Too late for everything.

I saw you standing there As you were staring straight at me You mustn’t have heard me calling Because you carried on walking As if you hadn’t heard a thing Like an island on the verge of crumbling Into the deep blue sea I am desperately trying to find someone to save me From my dull reality Like an island on the verge of crumbling Into the deep blue sea I Don’t want to come across as ***** or rude But I’m not here to hold your hand and Whisper sweet nothings in your ear The ****** fantasies flickered through my mind! As you stood there unaware Of the fire’s you were kindling up Girl won’t you let me fan your flames! Ohh fan your flames! Cmon! Opportunity came a knockin for a few swift moments Only for father time to whisk that chance away Ohh Where have you gone? I’ve been searching for so long So SO long Like an island on the verge of crumbling Into the deep sea I am desperately trying to find someone to save me From my dull reality Don’t want to come across as ***** or rude But I don’t just want to hold your hand I saw you walking over there I’m no geographer but I know my basic geography The world ain’t flat So by walking down there You should be coming back My way sometime soon I meant to tell you all my thoughts and feelings But I swallowed them up in the boldness That is my pride Hands so clammy I choked on my words Forming incoherent blabber I want to be more then friends Please disregard what those scousers told you I don’t want to come across as ***** or rude But I don’t just want to hold your hand Let me take hold of this opportunity I don’t want to spurn this chance to say My hormones are about to implode And I must confess I don’t just want hold your hand tonight

Most poets construct fences Of ambiguous and lofty blabber To stagger, ambitious eyes Clamoring for another Hit line, that drags the body to the grave and greets Your mother with A bird, contrary To the--traditional wave And jejune grief Instead, I'll facet windows With various cob-web cracks And baseball mishaps Till I collapse

There is a love no phrase defines Eight letters mean nothing but what you take from them. And some take none. So I'll take a few more letters cos' eight seems not enough, to tell of a love that rests high above the lust of a high school romance. This is a love where you dance through the night with your shirts off to music that doesn't even play. You sneak abouts here and there and hit bowls against the grass and glance on lakes at night the ultimate paradox shining in mankind. Belligerent fights with brooms ensue to be ended by boxes of cardboard pizza or red pepper pita and hummus. Your parents say, "those guys again..." And you say, "Hey! you're talkin' bout' my friends here." So you go. You take rides endless it seems. Take trips to places before unseen. Talks of blabber and sensibility. Snuggle seshes end in wrestling matches. If you wake up and your jaw hurts, you and Maxy probably got drunk again. If your clothes smell a bit, chance that Andy dropped by. If your mind's been blown Mack and Will laid with you by the pond for hours. If you feel a love stronger in your soul, Dbake's nearby. If you laugh your *** off for days, Dusty probably told a joke or pulled his pants down. If you can't wrap you mind around some fact or story, Bankman must have sprouted out some MIT engineering bull you wish you could understand. But who gives a hey when you're out chilling with the bros, brews or not, smokes or tokes or nokes, there is always a brotha out to chill. And to you, I say NAMASTE

freestyle blabber #4
it's always dark blue around you, but i like it, especially when you're curled up in the corner, trying to be awake as i blabber incessantly. it's pitch black, i figured, when you pull up that drawbridge just when i have gotten past the moat, i don't like it when it's pitch black, like your scary beautiful scuba dive. because i can't swim.

some barber once told me i was too fat for my own good and little me was heartbroken his harsh words weren't understood because i was okay when i looked in the mirror and mom and dad loved me so but when the barber blabbed on and on i knew the chubby arms and legs had to go and so i felt bad for years until one day i suddenly thought: i don't even go to that barber's barber shop! i don't need to worry about the things i'm not!

barber blabber
I remember breaking down that barrier. A Berlin wall, of sorts, That haunts every friendship. On one side, There are pleasantries. There is “How are you?” Who shares an apartment with “It’s been too long dear”, Who lives across the street from “I have so much homework!” And down the hall from “We ought to see a movie this weekend”. On the other side, there are feelings. Not the simple kind. Not the kind that can be expressed at a locker, Before homeroom, Or over a cup of coffee. The kind that are ugly. The ones with rough edges, That will ***** your hand, If you hold them the wrong way. The ones that sit alone in dark corners, Because no one wants to claim ownership. It’s a thrilling moment to break down. Falling to the ground, you cry, You wail, And you blabber out every feeling you’ve ever felt, No longer able to hold them inside. I remember when I broke down for the first time. Like a citizen of West Berlin, I took a sledge hammer to the wall. With each word, chunks of concrete disintegrated, Into crumpled tissues, And tear-stained pillow cases. The last word hung in the air. Inhaling deeply, Freedom filled my lungs. I held my breath. I saw shining lights, Glimmering stars, And vibrant smiles. I knew that behind me, You saw rusted steel, Broken glass, And graffiti. It wasn’t too late, I could run away. Run away and never look back. And re-build that wall with every stride. If you didn’t want to cross that threshold, Between shining stars and broken walls, Between singing joyously and sitting silently, Between happiness and heart-ache. I would not force you. “Dearie.” You said, arms outstretched. “Come here.”
