Call it touchstone, cause I tinge you gold
Rub my face against your chest like a noble metal
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t discern my value
I’m a diamond in the form of a petal

Tears of joy make the finest jewelry, so do the raindrops that dot my forehead, running home to ya.
I await the comfort of spring
Months pass as I blink
The fuller the moon, the more I seem to love ya.

A shoal of stars passes above Calabasas and the peaks that reach beyond
The Hollywood Hills is where I go
My life is a love song
I’m a diamond unburned by every storm

I’m running for my life from my life
I’m running home to ya

I bathe under the moon under stars
I don’t know what to say to ya

I don’t know what I’m feeling when I’m with ya
But one thing I know
Is that it feels good

So spin me ‘round in the ocean of galaxies
Twirl me now straight into your deepest fantasies
Call it even, cause I need it all
Call it touchstone, cause you tinge me gold.
1st promotional poem off my 6th poetry collection "I Loved You Before I Knew It". For a special someone on a special day <3
Alex Durow Nov 2015
I ask you,


Who’s gonna be a prophet when we bought them all out?

God I saw your prophet at that festival
I think they bought him up a house on the Western Coast

Who Want It

I see men speaking of love and they’re speaking of god
But when those profits are to low they’re on that radio dial

Who Want It
You Get It

There’s static in their melodies, some are moving backwards,
You ain’t making breakups songs? You ain’t moving to Calabasas

What you thought you were making change?
Music about the money in the long run never pays

Who’s gonna be the ‘man’ when the money runs out,
Who’s gonna be a prophet when we bought them all out,
You’re gonna buy those Jordans with that Nike swoosh?

I may never be a prophet but at least I ain’t you

Who Want It

I ask you,

Who’s gonna be a prophet man we bought them all out


We Want It
This goes to a beat, I originally wrote it as a rap verse.
Cyclone Dec 2019
When a tear drops, eyes close, cries define souls, blind when I press recline cause my mind rewinds blows, loving the smell the of pine in a fine time of fashion, in Calabasas, I can lax the fastest, facts I must grasp with glasses, joy in the back of cabs, crab and lobster don't mean I prosper, cracks on the track, I seen imposters trying to scheme the sponsors, are they redeemed demeaning demons seen in a team of goners, check if their numbers crumbling if they're fumbling then shun their roster.

the finished expose on skid row in los angeles went out to the editors and then to the village voice

los angeles skid row language know

strange fruit for the village voice

she's up all night till the sun

goodbye irish
my girl's soul
sings in me
if he can make it to 5
i can get to 10 in chains
lord,

and i send, gold
books of lies
that the worth of tonight

the worthless ways of last time
can go to hell, for making me 5
and now i go back to silent

chasing angxine
deaf skins, grasping withered tiles
unfind my lips
prohibition

transmorgaphied freaks screened
undowning the cloths
traipsings of fine
lest godly maketh reworking signs
#tarynmanning

these are lives of homeless people left out in the purge during realignment with the first wave of prisoners to be mathematically irrelevent because bondslaving the prison is treasury notes

census level capitalism and legislators delight


your brother is safe
he arrives at the library
and is made to understand
interpol
hail a cab home.

as to our address
may we proceed with change to
the new office? with paperwork
racquel is still and outside, sunbathing
i have been denied my ebt
will you arrange these? thank you

lip top london band no bank
tifear, unclear
followed and unclean
seen as chaste
unnatural'd pace'd

this unkempt boy
thrown to and fro
stairs built
and disavowed the heel

this is a right of a human

locomotion is not debate

police in america have not the double under
this is interpol logic
there is no to be sure
police, "you are just as an employee of the homeless"

failure to respond to a hail
and follow order is end of job.

my not diagram military logistic command of daylight

the immediating of messiah and mercy in eulogy of duty

my chosen holiday is called spent

hate
in irish poetry's spill of hate if came and wept

this is calabasas, news of incubus

pardon's answer is not finite

these are the greater people i must die for?

but yes i am your audience standing right behind you

in real life im just as a jamiroquai poser is
i think the act of attempting jamiroquai may be the secret to life
if we could allow the living of this art form from time to another time
i might slide

i love beck how tom curren has to learn from pat like that

so paris ate a drug war, who hasn't added some nofx in bed

my tune as a front man keeps it even flow
i am the reader
will you catch up with me now guys
i got deeper in the roll

i don't have time
i found peace at the entrance
to the path
my life cycle ends here it tells me
i feel the after earth
drying without me

finding the leader is you
and the time of before speaking

phonecia is me

after vishnu and kali is ganesha
that wasn't a new beginning ganesha
it was me
this is my responsible

the troubles of ireland were long
today is longer
please yourself with troubles

the ordinance ordering to move so city litter jobs may issue formal complaint
while citizen faces exhaustion, having assault of my peace approach me with gun and policy further gains against my speech while eating breakfast in predictable accord with failed policy of government, this the district has time for while taxing the entire country for progress? your office professionally allows magical accomplishments far superior to the normal life of an american?

the people are obviously concerned with the spotlights again.


out here on my own
to be the brilliant, too much
front page people can't read?
sell in sell out, the passing of, often
loves losing hands, hands clasped
the shut of time
against the give
you are going
into a place foreign
and i will not know
of finding together with eye's in the night

frank is one frank
what's priceless
illiterate joy
#mslaurynhill

being in the critics reach
being inside of the critics reach
that is the journalist's place
how we are dealing underneath
thoughts of a man or woman leader
that still end's up with being under

authority and freedom has an extinction
it end's free thoughts of the one
the one that has to be a woman is right

that's a relationship i create out of poetry
it has connections to empty wells of me
nothing is gonna change about, what?
the way girls are? the way boys need lessons

news is not news, it is in the fold of anothers arms for now


healing a city torn
the times take from a life,
they rarely deliver anymore
anymore than is expected
postage starts meaning
after the pandemic
the flowering baby, miracles
those are back in town
at least, children are innocent again

the journals we all peep from
are womens feelings, not rights
the intuition a girlfriend told me
thats what she is into
she has a baby, we had a baby
for a little bit of my life
i got to know the intuitive way
but that's not who i really am
the baby is not mine, it's his dad's
and that was love.

time shares it's water with life
and
and you cannot change too much
about that way
about that way where you live alone
i know how to find that way home.

clerical error that is missing is.....

this is a mechanics lien

this is a watergate
a human rights violation
