"censorship" poems
Seems like Words are failing Maybe We should use our mouths For other things How about kissing? Right there On that part of my naval As I brush your hair Maybe I'll let out a little sigh As you linger there for a while Look up and smile Pretty eyes got me gazing Words may be failing but There's other ways to speak Your hands gently trailing got my body feeling Weak Self control startin to slip Better watch my mouth As I bite your lip It stings But not the way words do No need for censorship This mouths being used for other things Maybe to let out a laugh,a little grin As you make your move To help me relax and Leave your mark on my skin Raising the heat Got me craving! Tongues may be wagging In the morning But ours are for tasting So what do you say? Mmm don't speak. My hearts racing Legs shaking As you play your mouth piece Sighhhh And I Might just have to pull you in tight Might just have to have you all night But don't worry It's our lil secret, I won't say a thing Words may have failed us But mouths don't need words To do wonderous things ;)

Mouth Piece
My pen is a wand. It can write a curse or a powerful charm. My pen is a mirror. It can show you a monster or a beautiful figure. My pen is a key. It can free you from a trapped door or it can lock you inside that door until the oxgen runs out and you can't breath. My pen is a weapon.  It will fight righteous battles or make a gruesome dissection. My pen is a balancing scale. It is a balancing scale because it tilts when the yin & yang of my being begins to out weight one other. Nothing is safe from my pen if i choose it not to be, my pen writes freely without filters or censorship. My pen is a ship in the sea unable to maintain equilibrium set on a course to land. One day it will stay still, but on that day my pen will run out of ink.

1.  I am grateful for having the freedom to share my thoughts freely without censorship. 2. Grateful for my wife and our daughter growing inside of her. 3.  I am grateful for something greater than me keeping me alive multiple times, when I tried to take my life multiple times in a dark period that almost lasted a decade.   4.  I am grateful today that I can start the day free and at peace with my life, and not drown out the voices with substances or compulsive behavior. 5.  I am thankful I can breathe, and be in touch with my heart. 6.  I am grateful for Hello Poetry , my online community of poets that I can share my experiences and learn from others to continue living with hope.

You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay I should speak what’s on my mind And yet you censor what I say Conformists following their set way Unabashedly blind You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay Thoughts leaping through my head like a ballet In an elaborate design And yet you censor what I say Follow the script “Hello” “Good day” Nothing new and all will be fine You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay My words are clay Moldable, unconfined And yet you censor what I say This world goes by in shades of gray My rainbow is maligned You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay A̶n̶d̶ ̶y̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶

Goodbye dictatorships, it is time for you to go, no more feeding propoganda, no more controlling what people know. Goodbye dictatorships, and let freedom rule. Goodbye dictatorships, we don't want you. Goodbye dictatorships, let people break their chains, Goodbye dictatorships, and let anarchy reign!

Censor it. Withhold it. Nobody wants to know. Don't ask. don't tell. Don't spill. Don't show. Censor it. Withhold it. Keep in under locks. Think it, okay But say it, do not. Censor it. Withhold it. They don't want your opinion. Society's your leader. And you are its minion. Don't be its minion

Censorship
It was a out-of-town trip that prompted me to tape a two inch bar of black over a band of color. So that's what hate does. It's a maddening, saddening sort of oppression, this sort of silencing It's a whisper-born fear, half-irrational, half-necessary. I'm a scared boy again, and I'm standing in the school yard. And here's what I learned today: Anyone, everyone is an threat, and protect your heart with hate. I could be a revolutionary, but I'm just an unwilling soldier. I'm living life in safe-houses, traveling only by the safest routes, because I love differently.

Loons in the vineyard –  sound the alarm ! Satan is milking his metaphors. Such silly music portends no harm; call home the cows and open your doors. Brian Hugh Warner, a paleface freak after finding his mom’s mascara darker enlightenment did seek and crowned himself with Baal’s tiara. Scary drag-queen, scandalous, vain Marilyn – the creepy thespian rolled that fish-eye and snorted ******* like Crowley…  how pedestrian. Flashing his glowing cataract, he gave the mommies quite a fright. Censorship launched; no badder act did sail (or assail) our sinking night. Gothic dim-wits purchased CD’s bought the goods, pierced parts, wore black. (Cause for certain parents’ unease: MTV’s Antichrist on the attack). Son of Man – or rather, Manson Milked to the max his demonic cow; playing Satan’s naughty grandson showing the flustered milk-maids how. Urban legend surrounds this fowl (those ribs removed – like Adam’s sin!) Is he a misunderstood night owl – or a has-been loon in a loony bin? Rock-stars age (well, most) like a cheap wine. or else in the way once-ripened grapes withering, sun-struck, off the vine transform, with age, into wizened shapes. No – I am wrong. They age like prunes; plums thus pass into their glory. Even Luciferian loons find lakes of fire at end of story.

Yes, I use violent imagery Correction: I love using violent imagery Does that annoy you? Somehow set you off? Is it because you wish That I was a bit more 'normal' A bit less pronounced, obvious About who I am? Are you annoyed because You wish I'd feel embarrased Of this part of myself? Does it **** you off To see me proudly display My inner self- all of it- Without any of your foolish Censoring? Is it perhaps because I am attempting to accept myself Whatever I might be, its entirety? Does it anger you Because you You bowed your head And conformed when Someone else came And censored you? But I I refuse to do the same For this is me And I am not going to Pick apart and, Cut out The bits of me you don't like The shards That form the complete picture I refuse to allow You to touch them For this is ME ME *Not you Not your domain* NOT under your control

Some have tried to tell me not to write as I see fit; they wish to impose their rules and their taste onto and into my personal expression. My Art. While I do always seek honest and fair critique; attempted Censorship is outright offensive. At heart, I'm a ******* Artist, a slave only to my own Will; not some ******* demagogue merely sacrificing his own Quill. **** 'em, and their illusory book of unreal rules; I'll write as I ******* please: I'll write how I want about what I want as often as I want on what I want where I want when I want, and so can anyone else, *or so I think. It can be so hard to tell..* I really hope I'm not special in that regard. The pen is mightiest when it refuses to compromise. **** 'em and their failed dogmatic domineering. **** 'em and their fake-ass, ego-inspired rules. **** 'em. Once more: **** 'em. And, *lest we forget; **** the living hell out of them!** (Though it would surely take a good while!)*

on Attempted Censorship
Because Instagram is my medium, and because somewhere deep down--in that place that no one talks about--it makes me feel immensely validated: putting out my ******** and receiving little bits of peer approval in return... Because I still smoke too fast when I want that short indulgent rush to last the most, so light another. Because the Itunes visualizer is an assured source of inspiration when I am feeling small about the universe, and about the 5-ish senses that I am confined to, and because there is too much of me to simply be kept quiet; because the things I want are wanted too completely to shut up about. Because I am doing excellent, and I want everybody in the world to applaud me for it--for my relentless and unyielding grasp of sanity, which often slips without my sureness be-ing lost along with it, and because the wreckage is a comfy place to lie when everything comes down to it... Because admitting to yourself that you are addicted is the first step to recovery--or so I am told,,, and because denial is the first step one must fall from if they're itching to reach bottom... Because I am tired of climbing and have learned--among all else--how to enjoy the weightlessness of this long fall and the uncertainty it brings: uncertainty being my one true love, alongside mistress logic, who I truly LOVE returning to with open arms, seeking her comfort after a long long trip-- where I can walk winter without minding cold, and can enjoy seeing all the sights and all the Mad, Mad characters that wonderland contains. Because there is no 'character limit' nor is there censorship where I am concerned. Because I crave the criticism: that repetition is a cheaters way to write--and I want to cheat life's limitations and all social standards every chance I get. Because above all else, below all else, I want to clarify that--through every lesson I have taken-in since recently deceased December, and through all I have learned painfully, through the confusion and unrecognized irrelevance, Because the greatest thing that I have learned thus far is: I am learning.

Rocking back and forth, side to side Utter silence in our sphere presides A look, no a glance I dare throw in your way Pleading, seeking a sympathetic glare Pride lurks like a lion in hunt Neither one dares oppose its might Instead love pays the price over shame Eternal sadness swings in our way The winter's cold grasps our hearts Mute, lifeless as the frosty leaf A new plight to our shore comes As I look behind with love and grief

Sensual Censorship
Pompeii stood proud near Naples. Close to Herculaneum. When in August of AD 79. Volcano magnificent erupted. Without nonchalance. A buried city born. Complete with frescoes of erotica. Were subject to ancient censorship. City modern with flowing water. Trendy port. Gymnasium. Modernist by all accounts. Population 20 000. Mostly perished in brimstone's evacuation. From the deepest depths of hell. Suffocated nearly all. Asphyxiated on vile fumes. Eruption cataclysmic. City buried far underground. By written description. 'Tis believed that hell on earth unleashed. The day following magical celebrations. Worshiping Vulcanalia the Roman God of Fire. Ironic tragedy procured. Few survived the tragedy. Those that did ran free Anarchy, starvation. Mainly petty larceny. Landscape near destroyed. Pliny the Younger wrote in a letter. Vivid description of images seen as Pliny the Elder tried to rescue a few. Felt perhaps had a duty to do. Was admiral proud of the Roman fleet. His life taken in forfeit as citizens from the ash world perished. Pax Romana followed tragedy. Dealt such a wicked card. Embalmed in ash citizens lay. Locked forever on the spot as they ran away!

Ah you hate to see another tired man / Lay down his hand / Like he was giving up the holy game of poker” Leonard Cohen <> “Will I remain within God's house at night as shadows drift through dimming my light?” written by Weeping Willow, gifted to me, by Edmund Black ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I, ***instant understanding, perhaps in my experiential possess, some answerings perhaps...product of late night, many, many theological arguments over poker games, with coarse men, tough women, and ethically-challenged Gods, all faithful regular attendees With a little bit o’ luck from an occasional guardian angel, even I possess an occasional winning hand. now we all commence with a passionate uttered blessing, for the good beer and salty pretzels, giving thanks for having reached this act-exact moment of being, here and now, in God’s house at night, plus a holy add-on variation, a swear-to-god (we all snicker) promise solemn, no cheating, no absolutely divine peeking/spying in soulful futures, no fun in that, sanctified & sealed with hearty amens and ****** noises offered for emphasis. hear you scratching you head, wondering what all this to do with a whispered prayer of soulful, on-shore drilling deep, product of a drill bit cutting the black quietude of interstellar voids internal, where there is no censorship, lying an impossibility, and the only questions are super hard, so some never return with an answer truthful so, I remain in God’s House, playing poker, with deities who jealous guard their moments as human facsimiles...cherishing humans who guard with care, an ability to see that they and gods differ little, when making honest truth a shared primacy in the intimacy of an overnight stay in God’s house at night, all our coming-led light dims, when my/their need is greatest***!

Ah you hate to see another tired man / Lay down his hand / Like he was giving up the holy game of poker” Leonard Cohen <> “Will I remain within God's house at night as shadows drift through dimming my light?” written by Weeping Willow, gifted to me, by Edmund Black ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I, ***instant understanding, perhaps in my experiential possess, some answerings perhaps...product of late night, many, many theological arguments over poker games, with coarse men, tough women, and ethically-challenged Gods, all faithful regular attendees With a little bit o’ luck from an occasional guardian angel, even I possess an occasional winning hand. now we all commence with a passionate uttered blessing, for the good beer and salty pretzels, giving thanks for having reached this act-exact moment of being, here and now, in God’s house at night, plus a holy add-on variation, a swear-to-god (we all snicker) promise solemn, no cheating, no absolutely divine peeking/spying in soulful futures, no fun in that, sanctified & sealed with hearty amens and ****** noises offered for emphasis. hear you scratching you head, wondering what all this to do with a whispered prayer of soulful, on-shore drilling deep, product of a drill bit cutting the black quietude of interstellar voids internal, where there is no censorship, lying an impossibility, and the only questions are super hard, so some never return with an answer truthful so, I remain in God’s House, playing poker, with deities who jealous guard their moments as human facsimiles...cherishing humans who guard with care, an ability to see that they and gods differ little, when making honest truth a shared primacy in the intimacy of an overnight stay in God’s house at night, all our coming-led light dims, when my/their need is greatest***!

Happiness is the touch of my fingertip on your bowed-out lip.   It’s the way that trying something new doesn’t feel like a monster with you. It's letting the world have me, arms open, falling. Without censorship. It’s breathing into the world, past the artificial growth of moist woodchips,   And instead, to toppling trees and roaring forest fires that are sometimes considered overdue. Happiness is the touch of my fingertip on your bowed-out lip.   Sometimes things have to die to be made anew. Like an eclipse. That’s how it feels with you.   So new that I’m rhyming in my poetry. Like a horror story. . . without censorship. Happiness is the touch of my fingertip on your bowed-out lip   Or a framed portrait of a happy ending, but drawn only in baby blue. I’m holding the feeling on my chest and watching you cradle it like a silk slip Or a baby birds nest. You might drop it And if you did, I wouldn’t blame you.   That’s what unconditional feels like. Without censorship. Mine turned yours, then turned sour, with every hour, spent split And that empty void, of a screen, in between, everything you're deaf to. The world gives me back, curled up and broken bit by bit. Happiness is the touch of your fingertip on my bowed-out lip.
