In this new world so connected digitally Online with your smartphone or desktop continuously Every touch or click with your fingers sublimely Connecting messaging chatting seductively Rush of dopamine brain lives ecstatically Bits and bytes that rise and fall emotionally Waiting for physical touch earnestly LDR love seem to be extraordinarily Yet to see LDR grows into LTR eventually

maybe I should encourage violence within conformity and seek to end impressionism or maybe NOT!- create perversions within a song split-ting hairs of the long dead being found at a youthful age washed ashore no longer breeding nor bleeding ceased of breathing to be now an exact science- scaled back models of when it was brave to be bold but hidden from news cameras for leftover caveats - I wanna go else-where and find redemption to shout **** you - desktop plants dried out from foul air and aspirin bottles ******** clad in old skin next to a banana peel- no remorse no recourse no answers for in my brain prescribed lies conjunct with irreversible truth complexity.

What to do about wanderlust? Should it be quelled? Desktop backgrounds are my only escape Maps with tacks and backpacks with knick-knacks It all seems so far away Cobblestone steps are wearing down By the feet of enlightened in wondrous towns While chairs are pushed in Or left out of place Thoughts are escaping to the vacuum of space This Earl Grey is mint tea in Tangiers' seats Or gold and black Yunnan at her highest peaks It's sifting through pans of Fynbos' red leaves What to do about wanderlust? Should it be quelled? I seem to dwell

part 2 : wanderlust
For five years I kept a suicide note in a glittery pink heart-shaped box in the bottom of my closet Until one day I was strong enough to tear it up and throw it away This summer I saved a suicide note to my desktop And I don't know when I'll be strong enough to press delete

Heart-Shaped Box
1. I was outside shoveling horse **** considering the more **** I piled up, the less you'd deal with when you came home. 2.  I woke up every night at 2, unfamiliar to having the bed all to myself, curled around a pillow like a buoy far from shore, sea sick in the choppy water, my vision reduced to abstract smudges. I focused on what must have been your silhouette as I gulped cups of salty water half a mile into the ocean, exhausted and drowning. 3. Medicinal marijuana alleviates  anxiety. I won't swear on depression, I believe, there are four types of depression. Blue dreams are most desirable, every day for 8 months. 4. You've probably seen this desktop orb that captures electrical currents, so when you touch it with your fingers violet bolts ignite against your glass fingerprint. With this light, 2 a.m. I scoop the sandman's hash into my pipe so i can get some rest from my past who caught up to me a few days ago. 5. Dreamer. Heartbreaker. Deep thinker. No harm has come -- to--- you. 6. When it gets dark again, run baby run. Spin around with my eyes on his, reveal the wreck behind my lids, at the thought of losing him, not to another woman, but to Fate. Hold him tight. Make love like you mean it, not to **** but to tie two hearts together as they bleed. It's bloodstains on the white sheets, two people loved here like death sat by the dinner table, waiting on his appetizer.   7. The cruel morning illuminates his naked body as he slept. I cried because I didn't know if dreamed of pleasing me. Why did I let things I couldn't control worry me?

It was a blurry reflection I saw in the clouds, it was clear in the sky and as if I was facing my own body — my legs can barely walk, my hands were trembling and I can only open my mouth to breathe. Though there are birds who prey on me, my wings have kept me on guard and I stood still, alone, with my legs broken and of little faith. The world bestowed upon me was ruthless for someone as dreamy and a little in love as me — I wish that sometimes I can be as hard as a rock, so the world can see how cruel I am to her and give me something that I can call a spark of joy. I have beheaded myself from having to only daydream about falling in love, I have disconnected the veins flowing around my heart — so it won't feel anything, but even the day sets down and night comes up, I would still be in love and be of little faith, that I, part of a million particles living in on this earth — can still be held by a man whom I hold on so dearly. Maybe if I would be less cruel to myself and nice to hard rocks, he will find me and I can walk again. Maybe my heart that was made of soft cotton easy to be pulled by can be colorful like the blue sky, and my face can mirror back the clouds' reflection — and my hands can touch the end fur of the trees dancing when they see me in love wholly and less ruthless. Maybe if I say maybe now, I can be held like I am a precious gem in his eyes and the birds won't be my enemies anymore, they will sing wedding bells' songs and I'd smile in regards, I will strum my harp and the only thing I can get by at the end of the day was his smile, and that will build my little faith, and I will feel the love again, the once daydreamer, has now fulfilled her reality. And I am back again in writing these, for myself while I continue to work and I sit here — in front of my desktop waiting for my reveries to come to life.

We used to sit in your parent's basement with your two dogs on their little beds in the corner by the old desktop computer, wooden hand-me-down grandmother cabinetry, lace doilies underneath all the candles on the coffee table. I made you turn out the lights. We would sit there and pretend that we could find something better to do than kiss between commercials or talk about all the things we used to dream about in high school, how I got mine and how yours were like the back bumper of a car that got left out in the rain too long-- a little rusty. Your kissing was a little rusty, but I let it go because you didn't make fun of me ordering a double grilled cheese on our first date. You also didn't judge when I got drips on my dress from my ice cream cone. I can still remember the way you'd yell at me for stopping too far out at intersections, laughing how I was gonna get us killed one day, but I think you just really loved to hear me sing over you. I think you really loved me, and here I was playing teeter totter on curbs in little jean shorts with a guy who gave me a slice of leftover pizza. Here I was, burning down your own ambitions because they didn't seem as glittery as my own, because you didn't quite match all the sketches, all the plans I had on my map. Because if we were to draw straws I always thought you would come up a little short. I think you really loved me and I left you like a penny in between that couch we used to sit on.

The Things I Shouldn't Have Done
I froze my *** off filling my tank yesterday. Me and Tyson are watching early morning news. Still **** at poetry writing but getting better. I logged on to Google+ to see your new pic in color. You look great in black and white on your profile btw. You are so ****** gorgeous and thoughts of you make my heart leap and keep me very warm. I heard another siren five minutes ago. I'm staying at home to work from my home office. I went to whattalking and saw the enlargements of your face then printed out your pictures. No copyright violations intended and please don't sue. : ) Your gorgeous face is now my desktop theme. My heart is leaping and I have butterflies in my stomach thinking about you and seeing your pics Betty Ponder.

Hello all. I have been pretty busy with projects I've been working on. I have been putting my poems up in PDF format and all of the new poems are available for download here: http://deadbeatantihero.wixsite.com/thereisnothinghere This website works best on a desktop. I tried accessing the website on my phone but some of the titles are buried within the other titles so I think it is best if you just access the website using a desktop. All you have to do is click the title that you want to read and it should automatically bring you directly to the PDF format of the works. You may also download them for free if you wish. I am converting these works into PDF format with the intention to turn them into zines and chapbooks in the near future, given the right price and resource people to help me come up with the projects. Feel free and read away, all of the works are free and downloadable. The website currently has 19 titles for you to read and download (if you want to, that is). Let me know if I could help you with anything!

a circling vortex of disarray starts inside my head clasped by unsure yet supportive hands the helpless recesses of which lets the sycophantic white light of my desktop monitor summoned upon a wretched click scatter on this scattered face forming a weak shield amalgamated by the desolation and imbecility of a roadside orphan ignorant but lasting on the crumbs left over from a stranger's life a familiar unsettling sound cracks open this pale shield and my brooding eyes open to see her making contact one instant one magical instant, and die the next leaving my impressioned eyes wanting more i lie, lie to myself when the truth is there woud be no more of her tonight retreating never meant giving up and i do retreat, to escape the insanity of her charm get to me amidst real affection to run away while wanting to look back when an embrace is just outside my door desperately wanting to hear that unsettling sound which drowns the familiar sounds of laughter the circling vortex now inherent inside my head clasped by my helpless supportive hands the helpless recesses of which lets the servile white light of a numb monitor trace my tears oh how I weep to be her onscreen ******

Onscreen ******
From a straight back wooden chair, I see a cyan-blue ceramic bowl filled with tangerines next to a desktop radio tuned to NPR & out the kitchen bay window birds bicker over seeds overflowing a feeder, & a raccoon scours the earth below -- I keep in mind the fact all of these things will be absent from my sight one day.

Fact
small irregular steps, like a little kid top-toeing towards a cookie jar, his jar a lonely lady buried in her latest ‘good read’ behind her now, his hands eclipse light, ‘guess who’ **** you’ she moans. his fat *** teeter-totters on the chairs face, his eyes catch her shut book, denoting a ****** title, laughing he jokes about windmill dunking it in the tableside wastebasket scoffing as she claws at the book, before 180 dunking it in her bag, which resembles a shelter for some petty, puny & pathetic dog she bibble babbles blah blah, his eyes entranced on her chest hoping the slightest bump will blast her ***** through her blouse like an airbag. distracted by bowels, he debates cutting cheese. gas leaks through a forest of *** hair. overpriced coffee odors mask the lingering stench as it floats like a boat through espresso & cappuccino airways; docking my attention to a tech boy blinded by his desktop. to infatuated to notice the pair of blushing blue eyes blessing him from a corner table. an old man at his starboard laughs as he clings to his cane like it’s the decaying hand of his deceased wife.

Coffee House Sketch
Sit down, the nun says, bringing Magdalene into her office, pointing to a chair opposite her desk. The nun eyes her seriously, her face framed in a black and white headpiece, her hands on the table in front of her palms down. Magdalene sits and stares at her shoes. Do you know why you are here? the nun says. You asked me to come in here, Magdalene replies, lifting her eyes to the nun's face. The reason why I asked you to come here? the nun says firmly. Magdalene shakes her head, fidgets in the chair. The nun sits back in her chair and stares coldly. Silence fills the room and Magdalene moves back in her chair, crossing her legs at the ankles. There have been reports of you and Mary Moran being seen entering a toilet cubicle together, is that true? the nun says, head to one side as if her neck had snapped. Magdalene shakes her head, no, who'd say such a thing? What wormy **** would say that? Magdalene says. The nun eyes her colder. Sister Bridget saw you, the nun says. With or without her glasses, Magdalene says, she's a bit short-sighted, she often mistakes me for the Murphy boy. The nun stares and shakes her head and says, you should show respect to the nuns, and not try to score points off of other's disabilities. Magdalene looks at the nun's hands on the desktop, tapping away on the old wood. I was not with Mary Moran; I was on my own, and why would Sister Bridget be spying on me going to the bog? Magdalene says. The nun slams her hand down on the desktop, and says, DO NOT BE SO RUDE AND TELL THE TRUTH. Magdalene stares at the slammed down hand; once it had slapped her thighs as a young girl in R.E, for not raising her hand to leave the room for a *** now she just stares at the nun and says, that's the truth after all said and done, cross my heart and hope to die. The nun rambles on, but Magdalene no longer listens, recalls the kiss on Mary's lips, and the spark in the nun's eyes that glistens.

We rang in the new year On a mattress thrown on your Living room floor With the ball drop On a desktop computer screen The sound was lagging Behind the images And we were laughing At how we always end up Stuck in the past You threw your arms around me And let your kisses land Carelessly wherever They fell And I outlined your jaw bone With my pointer finger, Threading it through Your beard And looking into your Lazy eyes You counted the times I said "Like okay" at the beginning of a story And by 5 AM , you announced We'd reached a healthy twenty You kept apologizing For the way your dog Was relentlessly Licking my neck But honestly Even with her slobber And yours Dripping over my collar bones And even with the night air Tingling on my thighs, Just a little too thick, Just a little too warm, Even with my straightened hair Curling at its ends And your brother's girlfriend's Faint moaning sounds from behind A locked door There was nothing I'd rather be doing Than watching your eyes expand and contract To the rhythm of your stories Before the blue light of television Overlapping moon lit window sills And dark spaces You are the yellow light love, Symbolism with a pulse, Saying "it's officially 2017" With a begging grin And an undercurrent of Gentle laughter, Standing for change And growth And warmth And simplicity You are transparent And in the palms of your hands I see the year panned out In blue veins And freckles And it is kind hearted And it is forgiving And it is kissing my forehead And letting me breathe I know this is going to Be a good one

Love is defined in many ways. Through the simplest thing that could bring biggest smiles and the most red blushes to a girl. Through the most humiliating teases of friends, to the hidden smile of a guy. For the youth today, love is seen in, sadly just through relationship statuses online, love is seen anonymously in the internet half way across the world. Love is, depressingly hard to know if real or reel because of the liberating actions of the new generation. But, how well do I know love? I am not sure, but I guess love is not just some stupid messages that you see in the screen of your desktop computers or laptops. It is an emotion that once felt, can't be controlled in one second. It is a feeling that we eventually develop for some one that we think we've been waiting for for a long time. Just like in Hades and Persephone's story. Hades laid an eye on her, like a lion eyeing for a lamb but not for dinner rather for a lifetime belongingness despite the fact that somehow he is a monster. And surprisingly, Persephone felt the same way. He's from down under, she's from up above, yet they gave love a definition that could've mean, love is worth fighting for, love is not about where you belong in earth, but to whom you should belong.

What is love?
It was the second morning of “daylight savings time,” and the change was noticeable. My BF Peter has a doctorate in applied physics, he's an expert, so I asked him, “How do they move the sun?” He gave me one of his patented, blank looks, “What, who moves the sun?” He answered. “Well, yes,” I said, “I suppose the “who” is important, but HOW do they move the sun? Peter can be dense sometimes. “What are you TALKING about?” Peter asked, his head tilted in confusion. I explained, “It’s daylight savings, ya? The sun is different, SO - how do they move the sun?” “They don’t MOVE the sun,” he said, in a smug "I've got a PhD" way, “people set their clocks ahead an hour.” I was stunned - Could it all be a cheap trick? How, (I snorted in my mind) could they get everyone on earth to do THAT? I didn’t argue, but I didn’t set my Apple Watch ahead or my laptop, or my desktop, or my iPad or Alexa - his “apotheosis” was obviously wrong. He’s a new PhD, they just haven’t told him how they do it yet. I can wait. I patted his hand for support. Peter also says that, out there in the “multiverse,” there may be an earth where I don’t have homework. First of all, isn’t it just like a guy to believe all of that “marvel comic” stuff? “So, Superman’s real then?” I asked. He just lowered his head - burn: I had him there. Secondly, can he get me/us to this planet “No homework?” NO. Applied physics may very well be useless.

The psychiatrist looks young he seems Italian she sits opposite looking at his eyebrows thick but not too much so and his lips opening and closing as he speaks but she isn’t listening she’s wondering if he’s married where about he lives what size his house is how he looks undressed he leans forward his words slower now as if he thinks her imbecilic or maybe deaf he emphasizes his words his Italian accent coming through o what wonderful eyes what flesh his 9.0’clock shadow gives a blue tinged to his skin he gestures with hands opening them outward like some trader selling her something dodgy she can smell his aftershave it invades her nose makes her nerves tingle her knees touch she lets them spread beneath the desk to the limits her nightdress allows he sits back in his chair his words back to fast speed over her head his gestures are by fingers now pointing and twirling his eyes dark intense like Nietzsche’s she thinks she leans forward air pushing between her thighs as she spreads her legs as much as possible under his desk life’s one big adventure she thinks one big dare she puts her elbows on his desktop wearing no underwear but he doesn’t know it doesn’t show but if it did what then? what would he say or do? the window is open the sky a bright blue.

GINA AND THE QUACK.
tangerine cider tickles my tongue ultraviolet undulates on the blacktop, a summer wave of a mistaken mirage falsified, yet ever-so-present i could've sworn it was tangible the taste of your lips i've forgotten some of the memories have dissipated brown hair trickles along my earlobes chocolate caresses my cheek eyes stay peeled on me i changed my skin has sunken with calories and my lips have cracked unwillingly i watch tires swerving by and ponder the progress i've made yet i can't seem to wonder if i've forgotten a piece of me as i searched for what i'd lost, for what you had stolen, to no avail how can i forgive someone i can't even fathom to respect empathy is a blessing to others but a curse residing within unforeseen laughter tickles my tongue ultraviolet undulates against your desktop, a newcomer waves to your own entourage falsified, yet ever-so-present

Miss G puts on Chopin the old record player's seen better days one can tell by the stylus and the way Miss G's finger lifts its down on the record I sit at the back of the class with a kid named Rennie Yochana 's at the front with the blonde girl -Yochana's dark hair at shoulder length- her fingers pretend playing on the desktop her slim body moving side to side in the open backed chair old tit-less thinks she the pianist Rennie darkly says I'm already watching her hands going cross in front of her side to side and her slim body captured in my inner eye and out and secretly I blow kisses at her when no one's about.

WATCHING YOCHANA 1962.
Some days I feel like misshapen clay A child’s inept attempt at sculpting a shoddy piece of pottery I crack in the glaze phase never attain proper consistency Clearly covered in artisan fingerprints that were poorly masked I live a lifetime as a bowl, barely holding water Raising as my own planted seeds who grow too big for me As trees I occupy a dusty desktop where I am keeper of an arsenal Of pens Enveloped in now-dried pigment from early school art class One day, I am accidentally elbowed off of the kitchen counter And fall to the floor Shatter into fragments Bits and morsels Chunks and crumbs Shards of misshapen clay
