"defile" poems
Slap me daddy, abuse me. Bite my neck, spank me hard. Pull my hair, make me scream, show me who’s in charge. Tie me up, pound me deep, again and again; violate me, you own me. Smother me in sin. Choke me, defile me. Turn me over, take me how you like. If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.   Now finish me, I’ll have no escape. Baby take what you crave, I’m all yours to break.

Wrong
spit into my mouth strings of saliva connecting our tongues drool dripping to chin the scent of you on this skin choke me hard tight grip around the throat leave a mark turn it red blood rushing to head bite into my flesh sinking teeth pressing in pierce the surface clench down tight imprint your appetite spank me without relent open palm against soft cheeks lift the tiny skirt harder now make it hurt tease my aching body it’s yours to defile wet with intense desire **** me until i tire

use
flatten your tongue slip it between your teeth _n._ your little lips forming an elipsis _o._ put them together and may you declare a word you’d so carefully deny— _no._ you spell it out on table tops shout it from the rooftops and when cursed hands seek to defile your shrine may you exclaim _"i am mine"_

this is how you say no
A - the atrocity that my life has become D - the damage, and still,  im not done D - the denial, the doom in the vile,  dangerous, daunting; forever defile I - the image I fake of myself, I- my constant &chronic; bad health. C- the cost of a chemical wealth. T for the tension, paranoia and fear. Yet it’s the letter that symbols it’s here.   I - irrational, insensible, intense. I - irresistible iridescence . O- for the option that I didn’t take, O for the others that still I forsake. And N for nervous. Nauseous. Night. N, the neophyte, turned narcissist knight. Transparent to everyone, how its hold is too true So clear its invisible, Addiction did coo:   “when you wake and feel my crave, and all my charms  different behave; resistance, strength, pain & choice, may mute my spell,  quiet my voice.” “embrace what little light is shed”  suggested addiction, faintly he said: “For I can **** the best man dead, with only shadows in their head.”

Hours Spent Straightening her Tangled blonde hair Thousands Spent Taming her Wild Golden locks Ages Spent In front of a Dishonest Mirror That lied And lied again About her Beauty Within Don’t you know Those curls are a treasure My curly friend? When I play with them at Night Again And Again Wrapped round my fingers Feeling your original curly sin Don’t you know Those curls are a pleasure My curly friend? As they tickle my Soul In their Serpentine Intent I want to mess your Proper blonde Into a wild naked disarray Curls and more Curls A field of windswept Growth I want to bury my nostrils Into the heady bare Perfume Of your silent Curly Oath And I Won’t Let You No, I Won’t Let You Defile those curls Again

A Curly Kind of Love
ONE OF MY STUDENT'S CONFESSION **She told me she had been ***** She had been ***** by her father, A Man who brought her with his seed into this world, Now using that same seed to defile his own living seed** **She had been ***** by her own father**

***** BY HER FATHER"
*I love to feel your body next to mine I languidly run my nails up and down your chest. Time has been kind to you, you've aged like fine wine Next to you I feel delirious that you desire me. I feel addicted to you, my passion is boundless. Every time I see you, I smile, Wantonly I want you to defile me. Craving you like an addict craves his drug of choice. Your touch emblazones my need, my lustfulness. How long will our desire last? Until we run out of breath? Until we desire others? I kiss you deeply, hear your heart pound in time with mine,and I lie in the knowledge that we will never desire another*

Desire
The river is polluted The skies are grey in falling night The stars are hidden from our sight Constellations convoluted Bilge water and bile Corrupted hearts so vile Defile of a sacred form This is not divine Only desecration The river is polluted The seeds we plant do not survive And even life is doomed to die The trees are all uprooted           We want the leaves           We want the flowers           We want the scent of the forest The river is polluted Our dismay is all man-made Unwholesome branch that holds no shade Our hope for shelter all eluted Brackish is the water Swim if you care to drown We take giant gulps Deluded with hope And still we die of thirst

The River Is Polluted
Where do you see yourself in a year? Still living here - A tactile skyline atop pillars of smoke Heavy with guilt And the craftsmanship of a generation of men To whom Earth is a rock, immortal Untouched by the bouts of the smog which ascend To hold up their forges? Where that which is green must also be man-made And an old plant-pot On an old window-sill Is the closest to what was here before? Is it a facsimile? Where your throat hurts, Chemicals an ersatz flowing stream Of purest water - And why is rainfall the freshest you can drink? You haven’t always been here. Where were you before? Was it green Or blue, or any other colour Besides this abiding grey? Perhaps There were rainbows and colours And sunlight, unfiltered by smog Or dust. Warm, purposeful. Her fragility charmed you. Because our Earth is not immortal. A wanderer In space, motherly, who are we to defile her? A species of smoke and tar turning her soft hues sour Colours unknown to nature Like a drop of arsenic in a stream flowing through rocks? Do you see yourself living In a fortress, tumultuous to its steel bones Each day burrowing deeper into her body, Claiming her for its own, and ruining her at the same time? So you think about your opportunity. This life which fills her air, pulsing and vibrant, To restore the purity we are missing - Because Human and Nature are as one, Invention is necessary but we are losing our time, Virescent leaves brushing in the wind, Our friends are loving, laughing, living And we realise now that we are able to do so much better. Or does none of that matter, somehow? We make money to spend on plastic. We are born, we work, we breathe, we die, But we are still yet to run out of time So where do you see yourself in a year?

The bleeding has no bias From the Congo to Dallas The days of waiting, the Fever-soar The African corpses were out Of view, from the World’s eyes If a sneeze can defile Ebola can ride airplanes Traverse Seas, all through Your plastic gloves, your pores Contagious still with death Your fear may taste the curse A thousand dead more, a common ache The bleeding has no bias Jesus will not bring you back from the Dead We have to walk through Hell alone They say, I have no more words The bleeding has no bias No funding, on protocol that works The virus rages on, splitting old scars Of what it means to be from the Old continent, of what it means to be black And the coughing up of more blood Where paranoia and fear are conditions As common as kindness and hospitality here The panic of believing a silent enemy Can catch you without you knowing These are the days of waiting These are when the numbers soar.

Ebola in Motion
American Democracy is setting a trend: American Democracy is a Sitcom, or perhaps a Game Show of demagogic, narcissistic sociopaths tricking and manipulating the Public via various sources in a highly consolidated Media industry into thinking they vote for a particular flavor of Tyranny when in reality Today's flavor of Tyranny is all decided for you because the burden of Choice is far too stressful for the Moderner without proper medication, and the power of Choice may require some sort of educated critical Thinking, some sort of re-edification which is far too much for us to handle in this socially sanctioned doped-up state and with such an intentionally failing Education system from K through 12 and beyond. With American Democracy, We have a grand Illusion of Choice. It's so convincing that many believe the Illusion is True. (Sort of like hew we think of Reality, but with Choice of Government!) For American Democracy, They don't want mass Education. They don't want mass Edification. They don't want Critical Thinking; Those things prevent a Control by few. In American Democracy, They intentionally destroy progresses made, like Rights, They perpetuate stigmas about things like genders and the concept of "race" itself They propagate Terror as their Sheeple scream from the sidelines for more They defile the sanctity of Human Experience, of Reality itself and chain us to a system that benefits only a few while destroying everything else, like Climate and Environment. These Demagogues are Satan, if Satan is real: They tempt us with the things we don't need, filling us with Stress, Desires, Prejudices and Fears, and ceaselessly wage war on institutions of Education, all the while keeping us from finding the things we already have within each of us. This System of American Democracy has degraded into a  corrupted fractal of the ages-old ways of Tyranny and Terror: Aristocracy, Plutocracy, Patriarchy, Oligarchy, Kleptocracy, Demagoguery, Bankocracy, Corporatocracy, Fascism; Tell me, What is the ******* difference? I mean, even Adolf ****** was elected democratically under the pretense of "Change" then, for weeks later, suspended civil rights indefinitely after a likely false-flag 'attack' on the Reichstag in 1933, (for which the Nazis blamed the communists.) under the pretense of "Security": Demagoguery runs Amok Among disedified Minds. They say "Freedom" and "Democracy" as if it vindicates their Totalitarianism.

Your dreams are where your heart is They're more fragile than life itself Over and over you cast them aside, only to find more Now, rest in peace Pounding impulses defile the things we wish for and the more we forget the more we remember again In this beautiful, cruel world all I can do is ask why we're still alive Oh, with our strength--and our weakness-- What are we going to protect if there's no sense to anything anymore?

Beautiful, Cruel World (AoT)
Asleep alone I got the light scare Of a nightmare With my plight there Which wouldn't fight fair Awake awaits Chirping is all I hear Dragging life into focus Getting the lens clear To see things are hopeless My aches and pains Are my body's refrain To remind me of existence Despite my mental resistance I am lucid I take my shoelace And loop it To run a new race Timidly trembling The violence in my dreams Matches the silence and screams That defile us and our team Making the nightmares real And the pain I can feel So it's love I steal A devil's deal Hell unsealed I can hear the vultures chirping Or maybe they're just burping Out the demons I ignored My forgiveness they implored To meet a silent scorn Like a muted tribal horn Banishing them to another realm With my ostracism at the helm Until the lonely are overwhelmed And I see the error of my ways Once I'm part of this chaotic haze Practically paralyzed I am lost In this game I've met the boss He and I the same He is a voice Chirping in my ear Saying I have no choice I should give in to fear And just drink beer Until the end is here Carelessly comatose The birds that once sang beautifully Now retreat dutifully When they see my thoughtless anger Turn me into a ruthless stranger Creating danger For those living righteously They start fighting me Trying to enlighten me Which is only exciting me Because I lack the sight to see What the world could be If we could harmonize Like the birds Not using argent lies But soothing words Yet there is no tax exemption For my reluctant redemption So my mind invented No incentive Soul slaughtered The tear jerking Birds chirping Constantly remind me Inside my sleep they find me Thrusting me into a life unwinding Through my window the sun is blinding When I start to fear my brother After seeing mirrors in others Reflecting my attitude Of ingratitude I had a nasty nightmare Of Camp Crystal Lake Filled with misfit flakes Paying for their mistakes With pain and suffering As deep as a submarine Being torn apart For every decision Hiding their heart To avoid incisions And once all these losers are slain The birds chirping start a new day

when taking out a girl it is important to pick her up from her house, though it is acceptable to meet at the agreed location. at a cafe, you buy her coffee. at a restaurant, you buy her dinner. at a bar, you buy her drinks. buy a lot of them too. this is only fair as she gets paid less than you do more often than not. you take her hand and you kiss her. you hold the door open for her. she laughs at your jokes. she dresses up, dolls up and you tell her she's beautiful. she can make the move, but it's better if you do. but she can, this isn't the dark ages. this isn't the dark ages. we can all choose to vote for kang or kodos. I do admit, i'd only first heard the word misandrist a few months ago. (even spell check doesn't think it's a word). which reminds me: you hit her you **** her you abuse her you defile her. you are the one who writes this kind of bile. but it's okay. we don't blame the bramble for strangling the forest. we do blame you for being the way you are, but it's okay. you and I know your repulsive behaviour is just a reflection of us. and we can't rectify a reflection.

a fantastical guide to courting
now that territory outweighs tolerance, we all just march in search of conquest, for it is this that we were born to do. no one questions this so called 'truth,' we just read outdated books and call them proof. for the right to destroy, we'll accept any view. give me this and give me that and put the rest up on a rack on the off chance i run out of things to consume. we're getting bloated and overfed but that still doesn't leave any time to rest because this isn't enough, and i need a bigger room. so i'll just take yours and when i'm done, i'll take his, and what i can't take, i'll drown in my **** . . . no matter what, it will all be marked as mine. and when the devil takes us up to show what we could have, we'll say, 'we fooled you! we took all we could nab. you've got nothing to offer us, so get in the ******* line, like everyone else we've got tagging along, weeping and praying, singing spiritual songs, and waiting for us to throw them a bone.' because everyone knows territory outweighs tolerance . . . it's easy to believe if you have no conscience, and you're willing to spend your life in your mind, alone. so that's what we do: march about and consume and destroy and defile and declare it as truth, and ignore anything that points to something else. because where ever we go there is never peace, we just breed violence like a ******* disease and pretend there is no such thing as a Self. because like mitochondria, we're ensuring growth and what's it to us if we leave dashed hopes trailing behind in our wake? get in the line, or lay down and die, but whatever was yours now is called mine, and i'm already looking for something else to take.

You aren't a man If you think you can not only treat her like an object But forget that she is a part of me That we work together as a whole machine You aren't a man If you think you can hold out your hand And she will simply crumble into it Because its what you demand You aren't a man You are desperate and lonely Looking for something to fill the void I left behind But dont you dare try to fill it with her I wont let you defile her mind And she wont let you in You are a boy Not man enough for her Not man enough for me

Friends with benefits?
We too, we too, descending once again The hills of our own land, we too have heard Far off—Ah, que ce cor a longue haleine— The horn of Roland in the passages of Spain, The first, the second blast, the failing third, And with the third turned back and climbed once more The steep road southward, and heard faint the sound Of swords, of horses, the disastrous war, And crossed the dark defile at last, and found At Roncevaux upon the darkening plain The dead against the dead and on the silent ground The silent slain—

The Too-Late Born
It's hard to hide a smile When you should feel defiled. Is it wrong to give my soul, act as a ***** in the bed and reconcile your acts as nothing but worthwhile? My skin and mind are afire we're lying side by side respirating shallowly admired, reviled and inspired I let myself wander with thoughts of our beguiled afternoon. Love affairs are seedy, needy and just without my lover I'd feel nothing but bile for the man I let slip a band on me. I want to stay awhile, but the room will be needed by the next coupling. And, until next time I have to veil my vile, yet necessary secret And that I do with guile and style.

Cupid comes a'knocking Who is it what do you want I come bearing gifts girl Don’t be afraid open up No Cupid not again Haven't you done enough When you lit my heart aflame Plunged me into the deepest depths of pain No cupid not again No more joy turning to rust in my veins And my heart beating beaten and bruised And my eyes falling like summer rain No cupid not again I can't do this anymore Aim that broken bow away from my heart Find some other fool's door Its different this time girl This time I brought you the one With brown locks and a crooked smile And eyes that shine like the sun Open up girl Love can be rewritten and redone It’s a process of years and centuries and eons A persevering stroll not a manic run Don’t lie to me Cupid When your hands still hold the smoking gun Rome wasn’t built in a day But it sure was destroyed in one There is nothing left to give of me can't you see There is nothing left to be won You failed me before Cupid When you shot at him and missed And he didn’t care a **** for me While I dreamt of him in colours that don’t exist How many more victims will you find How many more hearts will you break like mine How many more souls will your bow plunder and defile Not anymore Cupid. Not this time. I sharpen my claws and smile a wicked smile Hone the fires burning in my eyes all the while Prepare to rip the white wings off his body Prepare to sear his halo to char Come in Cupid, I whisper The door is left ajar

Cupid comes a'knocking
*water streams from between your eyes puddles fill the cracked streets my rage is pure like angel fire a love which nothing can defile she wets the world with her dampness thunder cries out for warmth her shivering shoulders bare witness to the sun and what was lost the windy day kept me inside holding onto this fright feelings pressed against my chest i tremble with delight youthful arrows morning sparrows stargazing at night just because you can do it doesn’t mean that its right streets of cobblestones are being shown the pavement is our throne home against the cement dilapidated boxcars and temples of respect remove your shoes before you enter yurts and cabins made of clay barely resurrect sustainable ways are coming back give thanks and respect to ancestors who deserve our praise for they never did neglect their duties to the earthly mother her love they sought to honor children of the wilderness at home beneath her cover canopies of trees line feline forests with her love*

January 19, 2017 The sword of Damocles hangs tense in the American night as a nation steels itself, My friends stick to their guns, my enemies do the same, and there's all these children who don't know which side of a border they'll end up on when the dust settles, there's all these trees down south who never asked to feel the weight of bodies on their branches, there's all these people talking in circles and there's nothing but doom on the television, Dr. King, I think of you this night, three days following the holiday they pinned to your corpse like a participation ribbon, I think of what they've done to you, Dr. King, they murdered you, they dissolved you in bleach, they rewrote your history and their mouths defile you to this day Dr. King, I want you to know there are parts of you that cannot be stripped away, Two hundred fifty thousand raised voices, five hundred thousand raised hands, Countless bodies in the street, countless jail sentences, countless tears shed in pursuit of a dream Dr. King, they tried to tell me your dream was of peace, but it's always been about freedom Dr. King, I know you would understand what must be done in the pursuit of freedom Dr. King, you knew that nonviolence could only work until they came for your blood Dr. King, you knew one day you'd have to strike back but they never gave you the chance Dr. King, they come for the blood of your brothers and sisters today Dr. King, they put words in your corpses mouth and teach it to dance, Dr. King, they will claim you no longer Dr. King, your chains will be broken, Dr. King, one day, you will be free at last, Glory glory, hallelujah, free at last

I MADE my song a coat Covered with embroideries Out of old mythologies From heel to throat; But he fools caught it, Wore it in the world's eyes As though they'd wrought it. Song, let them take it, For there's more enterprise In walking naked. 1 Notorious, till all my priceless things Are but a post the passing dogs defile.

A Coat
Departing summer hath assumed An aspect tenderly illumed, The gentlest look of spring; That calls from yonder leafy shade Unfaded, yet prepared to fade, A timely carolling. No faint and hesitating trill, Such tribute as to winter chill The lonely redbreast pays! Clear, loud, and lively is the din, From social warblers gathering in Their harvest of sweet lays. Nor doth the example fail to cheer Me, conscious that my leaf is sere, And yellow on the bough:— Fall, rosy garlands, from my head! Ye myrtle wreaths, your fragrance shed Around a younger brow! Yet will I temperately rejoice; Wide is the range, and free the choice Of undiscordant themes; Which, haply, kindred souls may prize Not less than vernal ecstasies, And passion’s feverish dreams. For deathless powers to verse belong, And they like Demi-gods are strong On whom the Muses smile; But some their function have disclaimed, Best pleased with what is aptliest framed To enervate and defile. Not such the initiatory strains Committed to the silent plains In Britain’s earliest dawn: Trembled the groves, the stars grew pale, While all-too-daringly the veil Of nature was withdrawn! Nor such the spirit-stirring note When the live chords Alcæus smote, Inflamed by sense of wrong; Woe! woe to Tyrants! from the lyre Broke threateningly, in sparkles dire Of fierce vindictive song. And not unhallowed was the page By wingèd Love inscribed, to assuage The pangs of vain pursuit; Love listening while the Lesbian Maid With finest touch of passion swayed Her own æolian lute. O ye, who patiently explore The wreck of Herculanean lore, What rapture! could ye seize Some Theban fragment, or unroll One precious, tender-hearted scroll Of pure Simonides. That were, indeed, a genuine birth Of poesy; a bursting forth Of genius from the dust: What Horace gloried to behold, What Maro loved, shall we enfold? Can haughty Time be just!

A subtle carol echoes of the evening Upon bended knee I am arrested Betwixt strange refrains Shaking the floorboards of Teicu The evocative moans amplify The foolish peacemaker of astrologists The English dream of poetry Those I coaxed by death Were the witnesses of the tragedy And were familiar with its ballad Crafted the design ‘tis conceptual *********** Eradicated their honor for vanilla threads As they shimmy and shimmy They defile elongated hankering And retreated in the greenhouse of Woodstock Its language made iconic by efficacious character Having often been labeled an experiment Broadening its brilliance along death’s boulevard ‘tis she who was the stunning one Her language made sacred by her iconic fame A long time controversial reference An automaton, an origin of extraterrestrial etiology The evocative moans ensnares the tourist
