"compilation" poems
It's 3:09am I'm im the library Desperately trying to write a research paper: 'LGBT Familes' How fitting. Caffeine courses through my veins Coffee overloads my bladder Bathroom. I hate bathrooms. When you have no gender The simple act of relieving yourself becomes a chore The heavy weight of that key decision Chokes your lungs as you stand outside the doors Two doors. Men. Women. Not me. The choice becomes simplified: While I sometimes pass as a man I often do not. I can choose the men's bathroom The consequence of which could end in physical violence The same hate I explain through my essay. The same fear that plagues my community. The women's restroom is also an option The consequences likely less dire than the former: Heavy side eye and the potential of yelling. A much safer choice. Obviously. Per usual, I walk into the women's room. I take three strides inside. Then I stop. I've never used the men's room. My fear of violent reactions has always won. Yet at a time like this How likely is it that someone is inside the men's room? Now is my chance to face my fears. Now I have a safe chance at peeing in peace. In a bathroom potentially more suiting Of my gender identity So I turn around. Let the door slam behind me. Half a step into the men's room The smell of rancid ***** hits my senses Toilet paper liters the stalls I have missed absolutely nothing in my years in the women's room Women have nicer facilities A significantly more advanced hand dryer Cleanliness Air freshener Men do not have these luxuries Now I question, Do men not take as good of care of their bathrooms as women do? Do the workers intentionally prioritize women's sanitation? What causes this undeniable divide? Is the messiness of the men's room a result of their conscious decisions? Or simply a response to societal expectation? Regardless, I think I'll stick to the women's room While I add bathrooms to my compilation Of more discrete gender inequality

My First Time Using the Men's Bathroom

Your not just beautiful. I see you every time I look up. The star that shines it's brightest. Filling my life. The moon lit like a dream. And forever I stare. Listening to the silence. Awaken by a soft light I know it's you. I can feel your touch hovering about. Counting the steps until our arms leave our side. The possibility of traveling from one sphere to the next. Our eyes but dots in wait. The question of rockets and big bangs. The essence of time interlocked between our fingers. With no room left to breathe, our rocket becomes continuous. With you, a compilation of light. Is there any question to why my arms stretch as far as they do. I gravitate to you, the most beautiful chaos I've ever seen. To be the space you fill in infinite devotion. Your not just beautiful, your astonishingly out of this world. Our arms no longer by our side. the rocket pierces the stratosphere. We explode internally

By Our Side
Violin sonatas of gloom Acoustics of desire Play all at once A peculiar compilation An elegy of sorts For yours truly Welcome to life Soak up the unrealised potential Inflamed with rage To this day You walk this earth With a strong conviction You owe yourself something You cannot deliver Extreme self-expectations Coupled with perfectionism The fatal modus operandi You continue adhering to Goodluck with standing in the way Of your own happiness Thrive in your concentrated negativity While seeking solace in one-liners Of absolute ******** You maybe a joke But you are hilarious Oh, wait.. the joke wore thin A dozen punchlines ago You died 12 summers ago It’s whatever One day bitter and wilted As you sit in a cold impersonal office You will dream about the ocean And mourn wasted youth Today will be yesterday Today is ruined Tomorrow is dead.

Outlook
I went to see her. The skinny doctor lady. She tested my blood. She tested my mind, While waiting for the blood test. Severely depressed. I knew that, of course. I have known since I was nine. Just confirmation. I told her my pain. That all-over, horrid pain. Everywhere. Always. Fibromyalgia. Silent, Invisible Pain. It makes so much sense. The blood tests came back. Her drawn-in eyebrows furrowed. I'm diabetic. She looked so worried. I am nearly anemic. What else could go wrong? Dejected, she said I can't have children. Ever. I am broken now. Invisible pain. Emotional. Physical. No death to stop it.

My Pain -Haiku Compilation
I spend my love on you like pennies tossed into empty fountains of youth - like loose change loyally saved, built up in a piggy bank, a compilation of broken promises you never made becoming blood clots in my lungs. I would say they're in my heart but I can't breathe when I see her. Tax season is over and my savings continue to drain - they sit at your doorstep waiting to be cashed in for what I thought was an investment but has become a liquidation of my entire being. Empty wallets haven't caught wind of my addiction, but the pennies on the ground talk. Found heads down, I give them a voice, and they, too, drown with the rest.

Currency of the Mistress*
Collection of characteristics that the outside world deems desirable: empathy, gentleness, sensitivity, the ability to love deeply, madly. Yet, from where I stand, the view is bleak, for having a heart that is big means that it is a hundred times more likely to be punctured. I wonder how many times my soul can take these blows before it withers into nothingness. My body aches of a perceived emptiness that is grossly full of an echoing, resounding compilation of disappointment, anger, and despair; and though I am sad in the free flowing of my own bitter words, I breathe in a jagged breath, heave a large sigh, and succumb to my self-induced anesthesia as my big heart is transplanted with some smaller, colder ***** that is not riddled with pain and dismay. I want to be small, simple, average, for there is nothing to be desired in anguish, and I now find myself writhing in envy of those who possess the gift of apathy.

a random compilation of nighttime thoughts
Blue is not sure where to find the propeller. The motor boat sent to scotch the shimmer. The waves break inside a jar, and the little pieces are swept up by the wind and made into mist. The Jar is shaken, the titanic sinks, and the seagulls peck at our eyes. Covered in barnacles, the new-found fish men wander onto the sand and get coated, as in cornmeal, ready to fry. Infatuated and floundering they wander to water again. Drinking death hand over fist, they ring themselves out with simply a twist. The fish flap their fins so forcefully; trying to be flying to a sea called the sky. With a crumbled-ed crust they say, “motherboat or bust”, but the navigation of aviation is a compilation of great frustration for fishes whose function is on boats, wrapped up in those silly greatcoats. Yet they made it, or so they claim, and with only one flounder or flunder who had made a blunder to blame. If only old skipper had been a bit quicker, he wouldn't have had such a queer story to claim.

Odd, eh? Sea...
Lately, I've seen poems trending about how no one should fall in love with a poet, nor should they make a poet helplessly fall in love with them. However, something no one has mentioned yet is what occurs too often: stealing from a poet. When a poet writes a poem, that poem is the perfect combination of metaphors and imagery created by them for you -- a compilation so beautifully intricate that you can get lost by reading merely a few words, overtaken by an empathetic tide that you did not think would come to the corners of your eyes when you sat down and opened your book or tab or paper. This is the beauty of poems; they express words that many cannot say in any other variation of any way. Ask a poet to describe their emotions and they will beg you for paper and pen, a computer and a keyboard. And these poems eventually combine to become a part of the poet. The poems a poet writes become a part of themselves. That being said, it is not okay to take away from a poet what is rightfully theirs. You do not steal from a poet because you are searching for an idea, or because you would like to go trending. Stealing is not poetry. Stealing is not beautiful. We are a community of people with a love more affable for poetry than for ourselves, and we should all respect all the pieces, because if we do then we are accepting and respecting each other. So I ask you from the bottom of my heart, do not steal from a poet any longer if you have, or at all if you have not. Your pieces are your own raw emotions, not mine. My pieces are my own raw emotions, not yours.

i couldn't stop looking at this girl. i glanced down at my black leather jacket, black v-neck, ripped blue jeans, and black boots with the buckles on the side. i popped my collar and set out to find the girl i'd just found. i noticed the lights of this weird indie club i'd somehow ended up in. this music isn't normal "club" music. it's all arctic monkeys. the lyrics of these songs empowered me, i felt as though i had to continue my search for this soul. despite the darkness, i slid on my aviators to protect myself from those blinding lights, and also to give me a hint of mysteriousness. girls love that. and then there she was. sipping on what appeared to be a bottle of coke, but i couldn't tell because of the ******* sunglasses i was wearing. she was standing laughing with one of her friends. she had such a different aura to her. i couldn't help but watch as she pulled out one of her organic cigarettes. "i wanna make her mine." i thought to myself. the lights reflected off the sweat on the walls as i tried to keep my cool, strutting my way over to her, hoping to get her eyes to lock onto mine. from what i finally saw of her in plain sight, she had love in her eyes and perfect lighting over her; like a camera plus filter. she took drags of that cigarette like some kind of goddess, causing me to get weak at the knees and form a lump in my throat, which i soon managed to somehow swallow. i had to find out who she was. i wanted her more than i'd ever wanted anything, or at least so i recall. i played out the scene in my head - we'd dance, and numerous guys would approach her. it was hard not to. i'd overpower them. "she's with me.", i'd say cooly. i didn't realize all this fantasizing about my mystery girl had taken me so little time, because by the time i was finished my train of thought, i was standing right in front of her. god, i wanted her so bad. i swear, if i looked at her long enough, she'd steal my soul. the love in her eyes was contradicted by the incredibly **** sparkle in her iris. "hello there beautiful. you seem to be having a lovely time. you're absolutely breathtaking, i'm forced to believe you are a certified mind blower. what's your name, milady?" with a turn of her head, a bat of her lashes, and a flash of her perfect smile, she answered me in the most angelic voice i've ever heard. "arabella."

we are not the embodiment of beauty, despite the way your quips dance with my vagary, or how our bones are trophies built from the same bits of shrapnel from explosions, forged by hands who never learned how to fashion empires out of anything but fragments, no, we are much more than beautiful, we are isotopic, enigmatic, we’re magnetic and eclectic, we are the sum of all things, a compilation, a mosaic, we are a memoir of the universe, we are fate, we’re algebraic, we’re the intersection of two lines without a destination, but when i follow the trail of freckles up your spine, i find the root of my elation

compendium //
Where the lines blur, and pages end where I cannot see a future anymore for us where the light and darkness come and pass as time, here it is only grey inside There used to be a window where a sparrow hid at light-crack by the sill and sang shrilly in the morning, he would sing calling in the light of God, he’d sing for us The silence has grown thick, shaved ragged potential, daydreams posed as promises sharp was the resonation of our love sharp are vile weapons and words drawn between us now Betrayal finds its way upon my tongue I’d spit it out before it turns to venom I’d have to say you’re poison to me now left with nothing but constriction and a failing heart Were you my elixir, but a count of days before? How sweet the lily of the valley’s scent how pure is her white compilation of forever restfulness, the peaceful trickery and death I’d say it’s time to lay this love to rest Place flowers at the feet of mounds of earth seal the wound of expecting hearts, we were bleeding fluid prayers upon the stones Attempting to bring the dead Back to life

the do-nothing sea slug
I still think of you when I hear a song that moves me And wonder what it would follow on the tape I wish I could make you. This is the standing stone on an emotional landscape that has changed as fast as technology, seen music shift from soulfood to occasional backdrop and solitary teenage bedrooms morph to joyful family homes (thank God). I wouldn't go back - but here's a song, unexpected, blissful which can't quite touch me as it should Because I can't press 'record', watch the reels go round and imagine you listening when the tape crosses the country and fetches up at your front door. No more padded envelopes nor blotted biro liner notes; no more declarations hidden in plain sight in ninety minutes of love I knew no other way to send.

Death of the Compilation Tape
god stood by me, he hid in my pocket like a piece of amethyst when i ran he turned into the forest to envelop me his spirits became soft grasses, scented woods and colorful flower The elderly woman in her garden in the early morning before the sun rises too high. She never sprays chemicals to get rid of the snails, instead she works and plants for and around them. This garden is to celebrate life, not to take it away. The wooden fence bordering her property is low and unoffensive enough to allow through woodland creatures who are never shooed away for taking a walk or a bite through the herbage. Perhaps she is atoning for a life of death and destruction. Or perhaps she is a saint. They enjoyed things like making forts out of sticks and blankets and cardboard boxes and dressing up and going to the opera. Memories, fresh like a wound. Sometimes something so small. Going to the post office. A slideshow of post offices in my life. The disinfected paper smell, the lines of people waiting to mail a package, the solid colors of the interior, gray, black, white. A scrubby short haired black carpet, well worn. I turned into a set of wings made out of crayon or colored pencil markings. As if pushed and pulled by the wind I stunned through the air, waving in the sunlight, pencil dashes of red and blue and purple. Like an animation from Reading Rainbow. Thrown and tossed about like a lightweight wale in the sea. An enormous behemoth of grey and blue leaping like a kitten among the waves. It should be terrifying and would be if its teeth were any larger or sharper and if there was not such a happy gleam in its huge eye.

Lisa Nelle had two names like a pornstar. She'd put her makeup on and stick all this blackness on under her eyes like she was holding night in bags. We watched Hey Arnold! DVDs at five in the morning, and smoked the whole place up. Sometimes her and Alexis would go in the back room. Alexis never liked me. Lisa Nelle had this way of looking at you where she'd take her eyes and she'd work her way down to your stomach. She could find a star in my intestines, a dwarf light could warble in my stomach and she'd see it through my belly button. She'd pull it out wings and all and tell me that Khalil knew the answers. Out of this two-ton purse she carried around, she'd whip out a compilation of Khalil Gibran. One time she told me how her father used to pull her hair and thighs. She didn't say anything about it again. When we tripped shrooms, she took my hands and put them on her neck and asked me to feel for the nebulas underneath her skin. When I read some of the stuff you send me, the emails, texts or poems, I can't help but wonder how many words I now know as a result of you that I wouldn't know if I hadn't been looking around for bud and someone I knew that knew you. I'm sorry Lisa Nelle, that things didn't work out with you and Alexis when they did with you and Sabrosa. Sometimes I hate myself too.

Beautiful Women can be Lesbians Too.
Got me a dose of my own medicine and I can't stomach the taste. I spit it out and let the virus run a muck throughout the place. My mix-tapes are an act of meditation. A phonetic compilation. An auditory trepanation.   With a couple screws loose I'm beginning to know the drill, And already the hole is on its way to being filled. Though the void keeps my brain pulsing, still, as my self trepidation is yet to be fulfilled. Winter is a stone-cold killer. I can feel its icy fingers groping the back of my skull. Numbing the occipital lobe.  Static. Gray. Snow.  A visual forebode.   Neurotic overload. Sparks flying and dying. Light to dark. Good to bad. Duality deceased. Appoint the next fad.

The Intangible Cure
4/3/15 6:09am - Missing you is worse than finding out 3 weeks later than the rest of my family that my grandmother has cancer, because my father "forgot" to tell me. 4/4/15 12:37pm - Missing you is like the tv special I watched when I was 8. I won't ever forget those conjoined twins who's operation failed. Or how the one who survived always reached for the other. 4/5/15 12:43pm - My god, missing you is so much harder than I thought it would be and it's been just two days. I've had constant drugs and sunrises. I'm so empty. 4/6/15 2:07pm - Missing you is driving all night to watch the sunrise but being too busy collecting shells you might like on the beach to look up at the sky. 4/7/15 4:11pm - Missing you is wishing I had the guts to jump. 4/19/15 3:59pm - Missing you doesn't make sense anymore but it comes much more naturally then walking or speaking or breathing. 7/6/15 5:09pm - I miss you. 7/15/15 6:46pm - Missing you feels like being told that my mom is leaving my stepdad weeks after it's happened and wondering when she'll admit to leaving me. 8/19/15 12:23am - Every night it all comes down to missing you from the bottom of a bottle or the passenger seat of a strange boys car. 10/1/2015 8:37am - I don't know when I stopped missing you. I guess maybe it was when you ****** my best friend. Or my other best friend. Or my other best friend. Maybe it was when you fell for her. When someone who knew nothing about you, didn't do everything I did for you, who can't even commit to you, was suddenly better for you than I ever was. I don't know when I stopped missing you, but I miss missing you this morning. I miss missing you.

Missing You (a compilation)
4/3/15 6:09am - Missing you is worse than finding out 3 weeks later than the rest of my family that my grandmother has cancer, because my father "forgot" to tell me. 4/4/15 12:37pm - Missing you is like the tv special I watched when I was 8. I won't ever forget those conjoined twins who's operation failed. Or how the one who survived always reached for the other. 4/5/15 12:43pm - My god, missing you is so much harder than I thought it would be and it's been just two days. I've had constant drugs and sunrises. I'm so empty. 4/6/15 2:07pm - Missing you is driving all night to watch the sunrise but being too busy collecting shells you might like on the beach to look up at the sky. 4/7/15 4:11pm - Missing you is wishing I had the guts to jump. 4/19/15 3:59pm - Missing you doesn't make sense anymore but it comes much more naturally then walking or speaking or breathing. 7/6/15 5:09pm - I miss you. 7/15/15 6:46pm - Missing you feels like being told that my mom is leaving my stepdad weeks after it's happened and wondering when she'll admit to leaving me. 8/19/15 12:23am - Every night it all comes down to missing you from the bottom of a bottle or the passenger seat of a strange boys car. 10/1/2015 8:37am - I don't know when I stopped missing you.

I am a compilation Of dead factions Mangled selves Who did not choose the right turn to Save themselves. I am a compilation Of eyes set ablaze Upon realization of their unacknowledged future We are not alive if we live off lies. This is the truth The reason everyone dies. Greet me Speak every syllable of my name In honor of those still inside Their corpses. Remember me. The could have beens, Which should have been. What might have been better if they were? I am filled with death And with every word, My every turn, I only manage to **** more Sing to the ones inside The ones left beind With no chance of being revived, For none of you ever did exist. Only to me.

The Reason Everone Dies (I am a Compilation)
with every starry sky, i still search for the big dipper. stripping the constellations searching for something bigger than the compilation of love or whatever it was that we feathered through the sand that night. that was the last time that we were together you and i lonesome under the moonless sky seen only by the eyes of God. guided only by the light and the might of the stars, no matter where you are: with every starry sky, i still search for the big dipper. every time our eyes collide the constellations quiver every time you look into my eyes i see you riding the tides of my skies sliding along the slopes of my little dipper abiding the strokes of my heart to beat quicker searching for something bigger than the compilation of love or whatever it was that we feathered through the sand that night. that was the last time that we were together. the weather has shifted many times since then, it has now been awhile. yet, still now the compilation of your smile is the only pile of shine that can blind the vastness of my mind every time you look at me i drown in the vastness of the seas that flood the skies of your eyes with every starry sky, i still search for the big dipper. upon it, when both our eyes linger i can feel the shiver of the astronomical quiver when i'm guided by the stars, you never feel quite so far.

Beyond cascading screams in a melodically honed vibration, Within a fading abyss of infinitesimal separation, A dreamscape of a constant creation, so vivid by design, An interesting compilation to the manifestations of my mind, The psyche demands a certain control and designation, A tether to the super consciousness without a single deviation. But as we sail away on waves of cosmic revelation, To travel the universe for a more profound contemplation not quite Euclidean in nature. But as a product of Sol, there is a certain elemental configuration, That fuels the intent of the most colorful dreams, Bathed in the warmth we call divine, I have seen solar systems and even far beyond, But that was only in my mind, As dreams are harder to navigate when it is difficult to see them straight. One does not debate such pointless substrate.

Geometry by design...
I wonder what chocolate rain would taste like. Would it fall from chocolate clouds? And after it dried, would it leave a thick sweet brown coat on the world? I wonder if my secret love loves me. Would he ever want to hold me and caress my cheek? Kiss and touch me as I would him? I wonder what would happen if I lit the world on fire. Would anybody notice? Or think it was a new quirk of nature to ignore? I wonder if the sun shines more dimly than yesterday. Would it even be measureable? I wonder how long we can last, and if an apocalypse would **** us all. Would there not be a survivor? Would there not be a fight for life? I wonder if there is or was a god, and if so, for how long? Would he create himself? Could god even have a *** I wonder if this world is a construct. Perhaps a mental image stuck in space? But if so, whose of? I wonder if a butterfly flapping it's wings in China truly creates geographic ruin here. And if so, on what scale? I wonder if what we do in this world truly affects our afterlife, or if that even exists. Will this compilation, this assembly of words make any impact on anyone's life?
