"crated" poems
To each a body temple,
crated temple earth!
Two homes therefor each..
One head lay with one heart...
And offer one another the bed
of forgiveness each day,
magnificently,
Bold

Music was my way to drown out what I would feel,
trying to deny that it was real.
My skin would suffer from what I would do to myself
I couldn't take my mind off the silver object hidden on my shelf.
The silence of my bedroom
ultimately crated violence.
The things that left me horrified,
I saw constantly glorified.
While the most beautiful things can be birthed from pain,
The pain was not what was to be desired, the constant drain.
No one should ever think that the fear of gain makes you strong,
It should not be the subject in a song.
Blood stained wrists are not romantic,
It is caused by pain overly titanic.
Don't try to relate self horror,
With being an explorer.
Beauty is Beautiful,
Pain is Painful.

enormous elephant in the room
his fat *** blocking the shrooms
i can't see the ******* moon
ahh this is that
finger that tap taps at the scaled skins
on the shapely layered fins
of the crated barreled tins
of my dainty figured limbs
that cross bows into the muscle
that beats a hollow hustle
a rhythmic monotonic tussle
that in which keeps this alive
this thing i call the enigmatic tide
this wussy like mind
this funk-du-funky found
that that idiotic lice that lied
in which I figure is the only thing left to ****
the mind that is not the vicarious blinds
that cover the truth in various skills
to which I cannot shallnot reveal in lines

starting fires in alleyways and watching flames lick across brick
rubbing damp clay dolls across palms to chase warmth in winter
picking fake leaves off of plastic plants and flicking fern on floor
crouching next to walnut pots and standing to the doorway sides
grazing static on the television as pearl teeth knock across the pane
kissing knuckles and letting silver spikes snake between your teeth
breaking might be like running my fingers through the fields of your hair
sowing flowers in the empty crevices that separate the folds of my skin
walking by your crated white-picked house in the brisk afternoon
laying a hollowed hand over the denim jacket before my upticked heart
pressing lips to letters hoping that they'll be ripped open tomorrow
plunging eyes inside the envelope waiting to read what i write

*when i look in the mirror
i can't appreciate what i see
i'm no work of art
i'm not beautiful
or special
i'm just a girl
who is overlooked
because i'm not the Mona Lisa
i'm just a ****** sidewalk chalk drawing
that was crated by the 8 year old that lives next door
i'm just ugly scribbles on the old concrete sidewalk
no one bothers to look
or to say "hello"
i'm just there
with cracks and flaws in my foundation
that no one bothers to repair
i'm a mediocre piece of art
if i even qualify as that much
and when the rain comes to wash me away i will be gone
but i won't be sad
because i know that even though i wasn't beautiful
or mesmerizing
or enchanting
i had a purpose
i was significant
and hopefully i meant something to someone
and for once in my life
i am happy*

No hugs no kisses that's not a males way
Listen to what your daddy say
Is what I've been told
Ever since I days old
They say kids are your blessings
I guess i was curse
Without me life would be better
Guess I made worse
Being committed and young
You said that life was dumb
Overrated it seem like my smile you hated
Tho it was the face you crated
I'm pround of you ones in my life
A moment life felt right
Hes Speaking from experience
That give me no convenience
I Try to see right When I see wrong
Me and father well never get alone

crated to an imperfection
the moon and her's reflection.
Glowing back at her in the lakes surface
she wasn't nervous.
She came here for a purpose.
She sank her feet into the sand
felt the water with her hands
looked up at the moon
thought of your face
quickened her pace
lowered her head underwater
and never came back up to the lakes surface.

Injured from the outside..
Bleeding from the inside...
I'm touched and my body wants to suicide..
Got so far and all I have is the desire to die..
I lost my human side..
Searching for a therapy that can heal my mind..
Under the moon light...
I stayed awake overnight...
Crying and praying with a broken heart....
Waiting for the daylight....
Wishing and hoping something goes right...
I've started what I cannot restart...
I was a dead body for a long..
And from now wish just nothing goes wrong..
I've been waiting a long....
With a frozen blood and painful song..
Candle faith becomes less in length...
And fire flare started losing it's magic strength...
I've gone away with no words to say....
I've been where none have seen...
My precious poor heart is crated...
Beats very slowly and confused for what i've created..
My tongue attached in a deeply closed cell..
In a range of concerns with nothing left to tell..
Winds of past began to chase...
Searching for a memory was lost in the spacious space...
I'm dying..I'm done..
Suffering on my own..
Forever alone and entirely unknown..
Every breath I take..I get more pain...
Tied with an unbroken grief cursed chain...
But something keeping me alive..
Something giving me power..
Such a bright shine flower..
something telling me : You got the key and im gonna set you free..
stop grumbling and complaining cuz you're not the only broken tree..

Keats Helps Carry a Cat to the Veterinarian
[I]f Poetry comes not as naturally as the Leaves to a tree
it had better not come at all
-John Keats, Letter to John Taylor, February 27, 1818 1
The leaves come naturally from the trees today
As autumn floats away, onto the pages of life
Memories set down, one word at a time
Or phrases scribbled in heart-leaping haste
But in humility the poor poet perceives
That lines often don’t come naturally at all
Resisting as fiercely as hissing cats
Being crated for a trip to the vet
No
Poetry doesn’t come as easily as all that -
Come, Mr. Keats, and help me with this cat!

Happy happy
joyous slappy
passing by
the desolate
and ******
Waving flags
so elated
rising above
the dark
and crated
Waxing ecstatic
automatic
soaring clouds
over glum
dramatic
Fully mirthed
energy astounds
a sense of worth
I'm passing round
I won't be ever coming down
at least to earth
I won't be bound

Or, in other words my Thoughts are to inferior for you,
You who proudly takes the Teachers seal upon you,
and swears non judgement, you who taught me Poetry was
something to be loved, crated, and cherished no matter the subject or the look. Such are arbitrary to my message I attempt to convey,
and the feelings I try to display.
You don't like what I write?
I, frankly, Don't like you.

the dog, crated, waits patiently for the coming of morning:
and with it, breakfast.
still in her red jacket
delivered today
she lies somewhat uncomfortably in it. but not
angrily, as before.
the dishes pile up in the kitchen: not caught up from the week_
they will remain too, sleeping until dawn
standing as evidence of time passing
and of bodies being fed.
minds will wander to other things
but bodies have been fed
and they push into tomorrows (because of it.)
