So let's talk about suicide and how it could have taken me and how it still might. So let's talk about suicide and how childs not yet old enough to wake their minds try to end their lives as we just sit by. So let's talk about suicide and how tired old folks cut their time too short because they have noone to love. So let's talk about suicide and how self-harm is cause of laugh and how one day it goes too far. So let's talk about suicide and how I never thought I'd see myself writing about my own. So let's talk about suicide let's talk about mine my first try I threw my knife before the red shone in my eyes. So let's talk about suicide and how my second try I mixed *** Coke and bleach. It tasted really bad, but I drank on. So let's talk about suicide and how I don't really want to **** myself anymore but I guess there is something about me that makes me close to it anyway. So let's talk about suicide and how my last attempt will be at the bottom of the sea, drunk with misery, drunk alone. So let's talk about suicide let's talk about it because it happens all around us and talking is the best way not to break. So I've talked enaugh, now it's your turn

So let's talk about suicide
Some of you may know me, Some of you may not. You may have seen me across the street, Sensual And Sleet. Maybe you caught me in your mothers bedside draw, *Or in the pockets of a local ***** We might already be acquainted,                            We might be best friends, I might be your Means To An End.             Give me a taste,             Be mine forever.             But don't try play it clever,             Don't be a predictable fool. Maybe you think you're stronger. If that be the case,                             Then come a little closer,            Get a clearer view.       Those to make it out alive are few. Let the paranoia manifest in your cells, Let the shivers be like earthquakes in your bones. Let your agony pour out in moans. Come on dear, Let me              Take away your pain. Let me              Be the blood in that vein.                   Can't you tell?                     I'm here to stay.                       Come along,                         Let us play. But let it be known, I am no one trick pony, And this is no childs game. This will end in shame. Do you see the visions? The never ending car collisions. Do you feel the sweats? Can't you see? They're All Gifts From Me.

*My dad broke my heart Way before a guy had the chance to *Kids who have holes in their souls In the shape of their dad. And If a father is unwilling or Unable to fill that hole, it can Leave a wound that is not Easily healed -Roland Warren *71% of high school Dropouts in the United States come From fatherless homes *A man ain't **** if he's No father To his Children A fathers hurt isn't the childs responsibility

Daddyless Daughters Quotes
*She wants to feel the softness of feathers upon the tips of her toes Reaching out for comfort that will surely come Caresses the moments before midnight With suger kisses so sweet Like honey coated forgiveness She smiles into her lovers eyes of crystal dew Beyond Her sences reeling Twirling, dancing Like the figurine within an ancient music box As the music surrounds the childs mind so pure And yet There is more captured within The sweetness is soured only by memories She paints with fingers in the suger To forget There are things so worth forgetting She sees him sleeping and places mirrors where his eyes once looked upon her For now she will see herself The way he see's The blood from the girl child dried as he slept There was to be no more sugered moments No more honey for him to savour she had seen Her worth in his eyes Such a shame sweet child She should of loved herself with toes touching feathers Reaching for a comfort That would only be found in forgiveness of self Far beyond the place he sleeps With mirrored eyes of crystal dew He awakes to find his beloved drenthed in death He reaches for moments which never come Her projection of him so false upon this moment As in a moments seperation She sees with her angel presence The suger he tastes on lips so pure His tears now mingle with the blood As he tears her mirrors from his eyes He understands not The reason Why white feathers are falling from the sky*

She wants to feel the softness of feathers
***She wants to feel the softness of feathers upon the tips of her toes Reaching out for comfort that will surely come She caresses the moments before midnight With suger kisses so sweet Like honey coated forgiveness She smiles into her lovers eyes of crystal dew Beyond Her sences reeling Twirling, dancing Like the figurine within an ancient music box As the music surrounds the childs mind so pure And yet There is more captured within The sweetness is soured only by memories She paints with fingers in the suger To forget There are things so worth forgetting She sees him sleeping and places mirrors where his eyes once looked upon her For now she will see herself The way he see's The blood from the girl child dried as he slept There was to be no more sugered moments No more honey for him to savour she had seen Her worth in his eyes Such a shame sweet child She should of loved herself with toes touching feathers Reaching for a comfort That would only be found in forgiveness of self Far beyond the place he sleeps With mirrored eyes of crystal dew He awakes to find his beloved drenthed in death He reaches for moments which never come Her projection of him so false upon this moment As in a moments seperation She sees with her angel presence The suger he tastes on lips so pure His tears now mingle with the blood As he tears her mirrors from his eyes He understands not The reason Why white feathers are falling from the sky***

She wants to feel the softness of feathers (repost from 2011...time flies so quickly)
shadows cast into clouds of sand as footprints leave their mark voices so full of fun with not a care in this world summer sun washed over by the crash of thunder the sea shouting against the shells to your ears blue whispery skies feed warmness to the skin as weeks of a worklife pass to say goodbye ice cream melted to cheeks as tissue lips from a nan feed a childs cry this is what we live for in a world so left behind donuts sugared a thirst as sticky fingers lay ****** fish from an ocean battered or fried to the best ive ever noshed sounds of the beach washed over me as grandads snores a snort .. too much lunchtime pie i guess ..deserving resort dreams of a past ...dreams of another football played and dogs all wet scenes from a beach alive still ...kids gone red searing sizzles from a sun at its best as rounders run or frisbee fetched photo taken a collection booth ..memories made as dreams come true dreams of a summer dreams of a summer

dreams of a summer
One heart, born in whole, Free from all captivity. Not a slave, nor care, Beating for one, Myself. Two hearts, one of the other, made to feed and grow. Beating for me, Mother. Torn hearts, inseparable, separated. Lost to the world, by choice of deception. The curse begins. The seeking heart, Beats for another. One piece lost, Destined to recover. Absent of nurture, Wicked, wicked, Stepmother. Repelled, repulsed, shamed. Uprooted, over and over again, Homesick. Adulthood, weirdness and awkward. With a childs desperate heart. Hopelessly hopeful, Helplessly lost. Found love, Beautiful love, lasting love. My lover, Deception, infidelity, Another piece lost. The cycle continues. The seeking heart, Desperate to replace, What was lost long ago. Ten times over. Realization, awakening, awareness. This piece left, Peace of heart, Beats for one, It's my own. No longer captive, Nor a seeking slave. This last piece, Freed for me.

One peace of heart
Do we have any idea? Have we even got a clue? Can it be that we don't give a **** what others are going through. Are we so wrapped up in selfish mode? So devoted to our own. That we should sit back and watch as others are gnawed down to the bone. Should it be that our own offspring if they were cast away so far? Would we worry about that pipeline bringing fuel to run our car? Or would we stand aloft in horror as they were thrown unto the ground? Or for fuel thats cheap and plentiful, is it ok to make no sound? We hear about disasters. Tsunami strikes upon Japan. Earthquakes raging out in Haiti Watch death befall our fellow man. Throw donations in a bucket at the supermarket doors, then forget because of shopping. but we have paid towards their cause. Could you ever even fathom? Your children crying as they play, not for Barbies or Play-stations but for the pain to go away. Never asking for the latest made by Hamleys or Mattel rather just an handfull of food to help beat the starvation battle. Wash it down with poison water from a river filled with **** or collect in rusty tin cans from a worn and stagnant pit. If this was the plight of our children things would surely be said. We would try to move a mountain rather than our young be dead. Could you ever really imagine? Could you ever really get, that a million hits on You-Tube turn endangered species into pets? What if someone could ask on face-book about your daughter or your son, saying"It looks so cute and cuddly, "go on e-bay and buy me one." If only we could all be happy, not feel a need to own the place. If we could learn to be contented by a childs smiling face. Treat the world with awe and wonder. Treat its creatures with respect. Treat each other in this same way. Treat nobody with neglect. Then perhaps we may push together, make our Governments do right. Let's lead the World with people power, no more starvation or blight. Let's be less materialistic let us have a life of worh Not by owning all we see, rather sharing this our earth.

Technology: how I love you and loathe you in the same breath your phonic ears listening out for a babble of distress from a childs vest sleeping soundly in the next room your ten tentacle arms purge my words and shelter emotions across vast distances for long lost friends to find comfort in 140 characters your innovations are the respirator the breathing lungs the beating heart the bionic limbs that help without want to walk again if only you could just once guess my words correctly just once is all I ask I invited that girl for a pint not a riot and the black berry ripens in the east is now an improvised IED Technology: will you ever be perfect? or will you always be evolving how will you know that you have not stepped back to be overshadowed by an ape punching numbers searching for Shots and finding Pints in the middle of a dusty Riot

Shot Pint Riot
I've been sedated and sold bought by gypsy ways my inhibitions have been stolen by mundane sober days I've been troubled and wandering trying to find a place to lay but the sleeping don't bring rest so I found a place to play shisha smoke fills my mouth MDMA rolls hard in the back of my eyes and there's no feeling lonely no hours to own me no imperfections to hold me in knowing no place as home in my eyes child fires bright with delight and hunger for more my memory written down quickly in thin white asp bite lines crimes of the right mind the creative souls borderlines sweat rolls over my body my arms find the sky I can't see the ugliness spying through childs eyes with my hands razor blade shakes my poetry's written one line at a time and there's no feeling helpless no reminders of distress wandering free and careless in knowing no place as home in my eyes child fires bright with delight and hunger for more I hear music even in the hush MDMA lusch, I crave life with a violent crush with two wide lines and the life of one white pill my life is filled with more beauty than I can stand until I can't even stand

She wants to feel the softness of feathers (repost of one of my favourites 2011)
I hope nobody trusts you again like I did you I pray you never hurt another person like you did me You carved into my soul And have taken peices They will never grow back Dont ever say that you want to help because you will just hurt again you will destroy and you will ****** This is the perfect story for a broken heart you made me feel good and I just dont understand how you killed me I told you everything and you continued to destroy what was left and turned me into this a grumpy unwanted suicidal being Who you illusioned believing all was good while you tore me apart and extracted my heart I hope you never have somebody like I thought I had in you I hope you get what I got in you because your time is due you earned that I hope nobody trusts you because you will hurt them too You will tell them what they need and when its time for you to work you will never be there Give us that fake smile the one that used to push the clouds away but I know now that the tornado is coming our way you make things seem okay seem liveable just to gain your unholy power Hurt is a childs dream compared to this terror I have lost all hope you told me you will help the only thing you helped is to **** Never talk to me again I cannot bare your lies

I wake up in the morning And slip on a pair of boots But I realise apart from this I am naked So I dress and undress and dress again But now I’m wearing no boots So I think and I dress again But no I have no voice So I undress and pace and dress But now I am the opposite *** Now a dog; a cat; a door (this is all very complicated and confusing Let me assure you that.) So I try again But these are childs clothes Now there are no clothes So I return to bed where I am ****

Dressing
Pavement where an egg shell should not be that perfect shape fractured with spider leg cracks across the surface of its world how did they get there? those Nazca Lines? And the amount of discarded shoes seems to be multiplying each day, the busted boot on the traffic island its been there for weeks a plimsoul childs shoe strangely, they're all left footed is there significance in this? I look for patterns in everyday things, TV Schedules wallpaper colouring books Sudoku squares floor tiles Tube maps football scores I keep looking for clues like a retired detective who just can't let go

*In a few years to come A calendar is soon to end The light of day will be suffocated by darkness Haltering all brand new life Bringing the Mother Ship to falter at the knees A destined turmoil caused by catastrophic times The hands of twisted fate are drawing near World destruction nearing our footsteps Along shadowy pathways of smoldering smoke Billowing inward on plains of existence Trampling atmospherical empires Closing out realms of perseverance Kharma may be ravishing in her ***** like ways Childs Play in comparison to the putrid behavior of Mother Nature Her promises of vengeful wrath Unbearable to withstand her deceitful ways Typhoons aiming to destroy harbouring lands Earthquakes swallowing Kingdoms Her ill fated disease blanketing valleys of bowling greens The nightmare will embark upon us all In the year 2012*

Don't mind me I'll just be licking my lips Being your translucent temptation You wont see my attempts because baby, they aren't there for your eyes. I know you like the view from the back, But how about you learn to see things more clearly? Open those eyes. You liked to play games, But I'm competitive. You can see but you can't touch? Childs play. You can sense, but you can't see/feel/touch. Maybe, Just maybe in a blink of an eye you can taste... But I'm gone.

We miss the differences. Not because we don't notice, more because we become too accustomed to them. We don't notice the nights getting darker till we feel the chill of Autumn. We notice spring when the low morning sun blinds us, not when flowers bud. We see our childs first steps, yet fail to notice a grandparents last. It is as though the important things trade places with the essentials as life overwhelms us, we miss transitions as we age. We so often don't see when someone who was simply **** becomes beautiful, when we should scream it out loud before love becomes lost. What we once admired we often despise and yet have no measure of when one emotion became the other, it probably didn't have too, we missed the change. We loose touch, make new friends, we age but also become younger in so many ways. Lovers hearts, our hearts have the ability to do that, if we notice, yet we seldom do until we loose a friend and the news hits us hard. For we simply miss the differences. We just get eroded by lifes daily chores, Work eat sleep repeat. So step back and look at the differences. Look at what you have or what it is you need or need to change before it's to late to say it. But don't miss a moment of it wondering what if? Should I have or I wish I had. Because even if you're wrong, it's right. Hug your kids, your parents too and show someone how you feel. Even if it's just with a warm smile or just being there. Or something daft It may be the only smile they see today, or the difference in their life that keeps them going today. I once bought a welshman a little dragon in an egg. He collected dragons. He was so excited by it, it was like he was a little child for a few minuites. That's how I will remember him. The child like smile. Those are the memories we make. So be the difference not the differences. No matter how small, to someone it could be all

We have grown into fresh peaches, Full blooming curves, rosy surfaces. Each teeming with the desire To be handled by a pair of hands. So, tell me little peach, How did it feel like to have your juice Run down his throat? We are no longer flower childs, We are maidens, suddenly seated in front Of the mirror, the ends of our hair Carrying the weight of our youth. Mornings, i sit with my knees propped up like a temple and I pray that love come as close as loneliness does. (One night I tried to kiss my own arms -a train track from elbows to wrists to fingers- With the lights off. Was it my lips or arm that burned? In the interlude of tears between my closed eyes I wondered what it’ll be like To have another claim me by the mouth Like that.) Even when I’m not in love I’m more in love than you are In love.

The legend said that there was a boy in the mid 800 who begged everyday to the Sun God That his black eyes could be blue as sapphire. In Africa every person of the region had dark eyes, but he felt he wanted to have light blue eyes so someday he could go with the sky Gods and be their helper and trainee. The only requisite was to have blue or gray eyes; for them these two colors meant purity and identified the only ones who could meet them. Shmuel wanted it, but that meant he was going to go away from his house and live his family forever, because once you go and see a God you can’t return to Earth nor have contact with humans again. After years of begging to the sun, he accepted it, and turned his eyes blue as sapphire. The day he had to go was sad; all his community was in his house saying goodbye to him. Everyone since then called him “the child with the sapphires eyes”. He knew that earth and his family were history already. Before being introduced to the Gods Space he turned back his head once again and saluted with a smile all his community. Since then his mind was erased and a new Shmuel was created. Now he served these Gods, and as an apprentice he would turn to be like them in the future. Elena Ramos Short Fictional Story

The Childs Sapphire Eyes
Stay well beautiful childs Of this night Of this night forever My fragile child of strung silver white hair And that air echoes forever My silver child of the endless shores My angel child sing for me Of dreams and angel things Stand strong in the evening wind Bend as though an angel in prayer And sing for me of the endless You know it's times like these my child Where I could spit in the wind That I could break the evening waves That like a light in the dark I'm searching for a way to go on For I've got a reason but she's a distance away It's been years of searching The decades echo on And I'm still here with my long hair and gnarled skin But it's amazing what a woman can do So I search on for you And I'll make her hair the silver streams And her body the cradle of the valley And the rising mountain sides And her lips the sweetest kiss for you I'll make her ***** so soft and warm And her voice of angel's harmony And I'll scratch on in the darkness Black with my claws until I find her flaws Even and smooth and her love here just for you And if I find her flaws I don't care it's a wide world And her smile like the sun Like the gates in the mountainside And may her river flow and slake our thirst And if I find her flaws I'll smooth them over for you May her crown shine as though the radiance in the sky And I shall dance in her fires And her eyes rejoice for we are her lovers May her breast heave with joy for we are her ones And if I find her flaws I'll smooth them over for you And may her belly be deep and dire with the darkest lust for life And love for me and you And may her heart burst with love and stand true As though the bend of that angel in prayer And the song that sings on in the open air

I am hopeful now Walking the seawall straightens me out The clouds and the waters One foot in front of the other Walking the seawall To my day to day The choices I've made One foot in front of the other Dogs on leashes Babies in strollers Or on daddies in front The seawall Windy and peaceful One foot in front of the other Birds eat Fresh crab meat The circle of life Tug of war One foot in front of the other Runners run. Cyclists, bike Childs play The walk to work One foot in front of the other

One Foot in Front of the Other
1966, my first school book review, aged 13. **It's hard, to say the least when you are bashful to give voice to all the words you wish to say for when your restless feet beneath you start to shuffle you know you'd rather take your chance and run away. You have a premonition to be elsewhere to a place they call 'the land of two left feet' where self-confidence is ****** beyond redemption where the introvert is king, and not dead-meat. As the arms of doom draw near to embrace you   and the ground before you cracks and opens wide     tongues of flame curl around to engulf you...     in the scheme of things you're skinned, trussed and fried.      You take a sip of water and start choking as a splash of liquid dribbles down your chin then the teacher offers you a paper tissue and patiently she smiles as you begin. Breaking out into a sweat you feel self-conscious as the collar of your shirt begins to shrink then you twist and tie in knots that paper hanky and wished you'd poured yourself a stiffer drink. Though you fumble for the words, they're not forthcoming as you pour yet one more glass from the carafe and while a tongue that's tied in knots may be amusing in a mouth that's parched you really should not laugh. Amid a mixture of derision and ovation     with that sickly smile still plastered to your face     you waited for the hard word from the teacher     but she said 'sit down' and well done Howard Brace. You prayed that you had never stirred that morning and rolled your sleepy body out of bed... of the precious weeks you failed to spend revising for the Book-Review and the text you barely read. ...   ...   ...**
