"disliking" poems
What might it be that doesn't let me compete to three verses ? Perhaps it is that I tend to write longer poems, perhaps the lengh shouldn't matter so much as the message is carried through. From mind to heart, then to ones soul I try to reach out with no goal. Yet am beaten, brought back down, by three verses which show up with such malice, ominous, threatful aura, they have approached me. I pretend not to mind, I pretend not to have seen it, yet the simple, silly, broken stream in my thoughts has already engaged it. So that it once again, cannot repress, envy on such a level. My writing style might have been through changes, might have come to a disliking to those who prefer a clear, structured, yet well recorded, beautiful and magnificent rhyme pattern. That should surely catch one's eye, perhaps fill them with glee and bliss, happy thoughts that they would miss once they are gone. But no, I cannot turn, this path was chosen, locked, destined to be walked upon on an journey which has become endless, by time which had stopped passing anymore. So now it became unrecognised, forgotten, left in an abyss without any light to expose it to the world outside my head. Such is the fate, which I will gladly bear with, for this, has been a  route, from which I learn and educate. So go ahead, you can take my flame thrice, even if I might not be able to burn this image into your eyes, this ember, about to go out from the cold, windy, airless area, will only burn brighter. As it rises from the ashes and yet again, goes ablaze ~ Umi

I have a love-hate relationship with words. I prefer the paintbrush to a pen. Still, I find myself expressing my thoughts through words Though I end up disliking 99% of the things I write. I'm quirky and awkward. Most people would consider me weird To the point of crazy... Perhaps society has given me the diagnosis of insanity.

An introduction
I don’t like cauliflower so I will feed all mine to friends moving black specks, fruit flies on vegetables confused killing their dinner with cyanide like sticks of cinnamon or garlic cubes I hand it to bugs with my long second toe that is supposed to mean I am a genius, but I don’t eat cauliflower broccoli anything leafy and I am missing fish oil from my diet confused I whisper into the fruit flies’ elf ears perked up as dog eyes escape their sockets sometimes Dogs do not eat cauliflower either or hummus they are not even confused Morning, we all see the same shape of the moon’s goneness but others will eat bread despite mold I wonder if I am one and what have I done to the economy by disliking cauliflower broccoli anything leafy and fish oil, as well.

missing fish oil
this is the problem, you see. i hate orange flavoured things, but don't mind the fruit or the colour itself. i despise chocolate flavoured items as well, but will never complain if a whole bar fell into my lap. i cannot decide if it is the simple idea of disliking the watered down version of the original thing that irks me the most, or if it is something more. perhaps it is the very thought of a half truth - an illusion, if you may - that disgusts me, because these things will never be as good as the real, original item to me. you are the same, i have realised; years of sporadic vanishing and reappearing have not wavered my feelings for you, and all the people i have tried to replace you with pale in comparison. i might be capable of lying to everyone around me, but i cannot do it to myself or you. the funny thing is that you know this, as much as i know it too. for we are vulnerable as we are broken, and somehow deep down in the darkness where we sink we are guided by the same light, which always brings me back to you, and you to me. - "how have you been?" *i miss you in ways i cannot even begin to describe. i miss you the way sleep lingers in our eyes as the dawn breaks, and i miss you when our song comes on. i miss you the most when the storms arrive or when a joke is made and i turn around expecting to see your accompanying smile, but meet empty air. the truth is, i'm lost. i miss you completely, terribly, unbelievably so, and it eats at me every single day.* "just fine." i put on the biggest smile i can muster and walk away.

I was abused literally and pushed aside by teacher He was in rage to see me when I tried to enter He might have some grievances in mind to nurture As I was doing fare in studies and position was assured I was really ashy boy but excellent in pick up I heard attentively and was cheered with thumb up His behavior as teacher made great impact in mind I might have taken it lightly if he was harsh or unkind It is customary to show little disrespect to the poor students Some of the discourtesy is extended with inferior comments I was unable to think further but bore a grudge permanently I remember those abusive remarks and resisted him once vehemently I thought and rethought about such behavior As teacher he would have been considerate and held honor I became reserved from that day and decided to keep silent As it was now known to me that best way is to offer no comment In social circle too certain disliking exist for people It may be more intensive when they are incapable Not in financial capacity to move forward and compete Live under their dominance and agree to submit I remained firm in approach but turned away from close contacts I kept good will at heart and prayed for their well being in fact This gave me enough of strength to observe them from distance I was taken little note of and none observed my presence I return gesture with kind words and remain aloof I have enough of strength financially as single proof They dare not to see me with inferiority and pull down As I have established of my own and became powerfully known I wish that same kind of maltreatment is not shown To children who are unfortunate of having means of their own They are really asset to us and builder of future generation How can we be indifferent when question of building nation comes? I have known some of the people getting blinded By sudden arrival of fortune and secretly confided Their common sense gets unnatural boost to reveal The arrogance is reflected and shown with no efforts to conceal

Upon waking yesterday morn, the temperature was 8 degrees; cancellation of events and slippery icy roads, disliking winter! T'was out driving and dealing with the limited visibility; freezing. Wasn't fun maneuvering usually two lane streets; turned one. I'm sitting here wide awake and staring at ice crystal windows, went to bed last night, temperature was frigid sub zero; No joke! The furnace had a busy night keeping this old drafty house warm. My cute little budgie who "was" chirping, is now sleeping on perch.   Giving a memory of yesterday brief thought and still find it funny. Went shopping after losing the debate of exiting a warm vehicle. Over heard a conversation regarding me, based on the "assumed". The two ladies(without a doubt) read what's posted on net sites. Standing in the next aisle, ears slightly alert, hearing my full name.   Should I walk up to say, "hello!" or tell them to mind own business? Found it amusing and a bit flattering, despite negative words used. Did they see me enter the store or did they even care that I heard? If I were indeed the "rumored" witch, I'd melt every inch of snow. Why did these villagers "presume" I'm holder of necromancer's card? Defective reasoning of me practicing "voodoo" and casting many spells. A bit of food for thought; It's one-dimensional and illogical thinking.

Too cold for polar bears?
The subtle cross between intersections, a life of blurriness, through crossed t’s and neatly dotted i’s I removed from the phrase Poetic Form, (trying to spell it without crossing myself back into it). From lesbianism to manhood, to cross what being a man means, I wonder if my own identity is written in pen and everyone wants it typed and edited, Yet I’ve taken the plastic keys off my computer board and made them into magnets last week, Setting myself up with stolen magnets stolen blocks, Putting them in order on my own fridge, Scrambling them back because there is no order, They only told you there was so that way you’d sing a song, But I know now that I can write words, there’s no need for a pre-prescribed song when I’ve written my own, In my own words. When I look back and have pages of songs nobody else asked for or decided to write, When I’m in class and I pocket my songs into stories and my stories under my low grades, Under my teachers’ requests for MLA format, I think of that caterpillar I played with in my room when I was six, And how i thought about how people only wrote about butterflies And how the caterpillars felt about that, So when I asked my mother to ask her friend, an author, If she’d write me into a novel, Would she ignore me because I was a caterpillar, Only choosing to open her mouth and write when my story became beautiful and socially acceptable, When it grew out from the pubescent disliking of itself and stained the sinks of society, Out of a hot *** of queer and quarantine, Till the broth of the fluidity of my own being was was down the rabbit hole Till all that was left was whitewashed spaghetti? If these songs were anything I could write down again and again, In pen, ignoring the requests to write neater, To type faster, If I put all my work into an envelope I already broke, Shove it into a mailbox decorated with things people disagree with, My pages bleeding ink few people can touch without being soaked, When they ask me what to file me under I don’t say “minority fiction” anymore I say file me under “road signs” At the intersections. File me under that caterpillar, In the wheat field, Next to hydrangeas on the dinner table A Sunflower in the spring The harvested Brown Rice, So when you make me into a meal I didn’t ask for, I can be at least eaten by the vegans.

I grew up around men I grew up wanting to be one of them That in their love and admiration I'd find affirmation I grew up with big brothers and cousins Who's approval I'd seek Don't think "just cause I'm a girl" that I'm weak I'll climb that tree with you I'll go one branch higher Whilst you try to put me down I remember being left out whilst The boys were on adventures Because I was "little" But really cause I was a "girl" Why can't I go and play football? Go fish in the crab pool? Be split into gender roles in p.e in school? I don't even have **** I'm terrible at gymnastics I hate netball Forcing me to stand still Whilst the Guys can dribble their way forward to success playing basketball. Equal rights? You must think I'm a fool. I grew up with a resentment towards girls I grew up disliking myself Having to be the smartest and wittiest The kindest and prettiest When my brother said you have "queen bee syndrome" It hit home Cause I grew up with a love for women The comfort they bring But a dislike that I felt reliant on them Often the ones that would listen It's tiring to constantly feel like you're in competition That for me their strength seems to threaten When really it should be inspiration... So I grow now with a vision That equality will be achieved Bit by bit and I'll start with me, My own mentality And I don't believe That put downs are necessary No hate, no proclamations Of unshifting patriarchy This will be done. If I ever have children They will each get every opportunity To be what it is they want to be I will see to that personally Cause all these boundaries just deny possibility Just think of the world it could be Cause what lies between your legs Does NOT determine ability

They have left us scared They want us under their societal pressure They dont want us together They are disliking our thoughts Society doesn't want us to be powerful so they can remain unopposed thus making their unfairness proven. They want you to conform to them So you are better kept in control But no one wants to be similar to another! Society, has ruined a lot.

what society has done..
first: My name doesn't matter. I don't know anyone else who has the same name as me, nor why it's so significant. Any comparisons to other people's works will result in a block. second: Comment without liking my poems will result in me just removing your comment. Disliking doesn't really do anything and doesn't notify me. However, a comment with constructive criticism can be addressed through private messages. third: If you like or love or both any of my poems, I will try to get back to your poems with equally proportional likes and so ons. Sometimes the site doesn't work and I miss a few. Sorry. However, using suns to light my poems up and make them trend again will not result in reciprocation. I am broke. I also do not repost, so choose to if you want knowing this. fourth: Do not put my poems in lists like Worthy to trend or a notch above the daily fluff. I find those lists too pretentious even by my own pretentious standard. fifth: I post thank you's a lot because I am genuinely surprised people like my "art" and I can't make it anymore simple. Thank you friends, I had a rough time when I found this site and loved it ever since. :)

Rules of my profile
I thrive on liking. If there's nothing to enjoy In things, I ignore them. Move on. *Where do you get your Energy*? they ask, Weary from disliking. *This ***** He's a **** This band is terrible. Surrealism is too unrealistic. There are no happy endings. It'll all break down into pieces of Broken love, burning.   It always does. He'll let me down in The end. They always do.* If so, Ignore your losses. To live a lot, you have to Hurt a lot. Move on. Enjoy more of it next time. Appreciate. Open yourself. You'll like more. You'll hurt less. You'll love the movement Of Life dancing With the Living.

It seems that no matter what I do, Nobody seems to see me through. And yet I am still so far, Far away from what I am trying to reach. Fearing that I would lose everything, Existing in my own eyes as not being worthy enough. Can you not see that I hurt? Too late for your sympathy... I thought I had grown weak. Over and over I couldn't see, Never realizing what happened to me. I am a stronger person now! Never give up! Always do it your way. Forget what they think, For they were only try to bring you down! Everything that you worked for, Came from your diligence and determination. Time will tell you once said, It's finally time to shine! Only you can make a difference. Never look back at the past.... It's history now <3 Thank you for reading my 2 sided story. Inaffection - A word I made up. The definition of inaffection is the opposite of affection. Definition: A feeling of disliking or hatred. Synonyms: aversion, hate, loathing, abhorrence, pet hate, bete noir, displeasure, disinclination, distaste, disgust, repugnance, antipathy, animosity

Do I tell you a secret Lest you understand it for sure My disliking of you is An ailment without cure Disclosing shared things With intentions impure I destroyed them right there Now an ailment without cure Ill deeds of thou Filled my dislike store And now it doesn't matters This ailment without cure |AB|

Without A Cure
We're creatures of dusk. Creatures of dawn with our skin embedded with snowflakes. Your face perfected so you don't melt deep in your core under all the pressure. There are crows with necks as broken as all of your promises lying in your collar bones. Secrets kept in your lungs. Taking up so much space and rotting so completely the doctors have called them tumors. I fell in love with a knight who collects kisses and shared beds with our kind. My ways of excitement got old. So he went in search of your ice covered lungs, skin being eaten alive like his. You weren't ensnared on his sharp teeth like I was. He chewed me up, but on the attempt to spit me out my hood got caught on his canine teeth. I got lost in the woods. Found the carcass of a fox while he got lost in your purple hair and your firework display burned into his memory. It started off me disliking you. Then your French Angelfish looks that caught his attention attracted mine.   With your whispers in my   ear, finger twisted bridges,   connecting a world I never   thought would of existed.   Planting seeds on my lips,   watering them with your   spit, I can't stay away. I burn like a wildfire and you pop like a fire ******* Dusk and dawn being two different worlds tied together like our tongues.   My knight has a noose around   my neck as I jump off   a cliff for you.    But for right now we    exist like a Mayan civilization.    Knowledge never touching    the present, but brushing it.    So great it's been forbidden. But us creatures you see, our blood runs backwards and our eyes dilate at the scent of danger.   Adrenaline, our ******   IV's pumping it into our   artery's. We've never been the kind for reading warning signs.    We sway on tight ropes    giggling at our lost balance. Forbidden isn't in our vocabulary, our two different worlds touch.    A supernova in the twilight.    We are an astronomers dream.    Take me to Mars.    I'll teach you how to moan    "Astrid" so that Pluto can hear    the echo of dawn and dusk    colliding like the whole nation felt    the twin towers falling.

Found the carcass of a fox while he got lost in your purple hair and your firework display burned into his memory. It started off me disliking you. Then your French Angelfish looks that caught his attention attracted mine.   With your whispers in my   ear, finger twisted bridges,   connecting a world I never   thought would of existed.   Planting seeds on my lips,   watering them with your   spit, I can't stay away. I burn like a wildfire and you pop like a fire ******* Dusk and dawn being two different worlds tied together like our tongues.   My knight has a noose around   my neck as I jump off   a cliff for you.    But for right now we    exist like a Mayan civilization.    Knowledge never touching    the present, but brushing it.    So great it's been forbidden. But us creatures you see, our blood runs backwards and our eyes dilate at the scent of danger.   Adrenaline, our ******   IV's pumping it into our   artery's. We've never been the kind for reading warning signs.    We sway on tight ropes    giggling at our lost balance. Forbidden isn't in our vocabulary, our two different worlds touch.    A supernova in the twilight.    We are an astronomers dream.    Take me to Mars.    I'll teach you how to moan    "Astrid" so that Pluto can hear    the echo of dawn and dusk    colliding like the whole nation felt    the twin towers falling.

ancient sized big-beautiful-Butterflies, shredding my tiny chest, opening my most precious insides to the warm-wet-world --- they're flying out of me, wings fluttering as fast as it takes a star to sprinkle the earth with light they're dust sprinkling my own body with passion -- Suddenly, a black-eyed-vulture swoops down from a tear-filled cloud and vacuums the butterflies into his rotted-wrinkled mouth , disliking their taste , spits them out onto the cracked pavement and the pretty insects are soon squashed by a child's bicycle leaving only a smear of their guts on the syringed littered sidewalk. 2011 , Levittown Marilyn Metzger

what love feels like:
If you think that your passwords are   Un-hackable, change them anyway... In a recent study it is shown that women are 80% more likely than men to use the word "password" as their password. This gives hackers a #1 target. Along with "password" other easy combinations follow "1234" "4321" "123456" etc... So what do we do to prevent pervs from getting our credit card password and buying all the stuff off of any perverted website... Think about your password really hard, write down what it is on a private file "in/out of the computer", never ever have the same password for anything. What is our government doing to make sure that they don't get hacked? The governments preventative measures to insure that there is no "cyber terrorism" they have hackers hired to literally hack the U.S. Government. Then if they get through (which happens a lot) the government then immediately fixes it. The way the government is insuring and enforcing security in the country is failing, due to the amount of "supposed" and "legally" obtained land around the world, the more they collect the less smaller the number of people you have to protect the area. The amount of money going into the country itself is much less than what is invested into international military involvement. Why spend so much? Because Americans have a lot of pride, they think that the world owes it to them because their so rich. Yet the U.S. Has a debt of $19.3 trillion dollars. Every year the US government spends $598.49 billion dollars, why? Since the US loves to put its big shiny boot into everyone's ***** a lot of people start disliking them, so the US ready to **** it's pants builds up a military that makes them look tougher.

all the INTPs on the internet forums think us ENFPs are crazy, but the secret is: deep in your logical hearts, behind the pretenses created by your ego, and the smug superiority of the cold unfeeling, you've blocked out the big picture, so taken with the idea of analyzing that you have not seen the layers upon layers of life and forsaken cliches while forgetting, there was a reason 'they' started saying them- I am intelligent- my emotions have been carefully processed and approved, and the idea and truth of emotions has been carefully processed and approved, I have taken a look at life and poked around in the bottom of it, and determined my course of action- I'm not here for logic or intelligence, or to exist in a shell of my private world, offering an occasional analysis of theoretical possibilities. Logically, there is no real reason to do anything fun or spiritual at all- you can be completely alone and that is logical, you can never leave the house and that is logical, you can dislike most everything and that is logical, look, if that's how you want to live your life, and you're happy, then fine; but the truth of the matter is, you have a single life, and within it, you can choose to be happy and live as fulfilled of an experience as possible. it is illogical to waste the short years you've got. it is illogical to spend them unhappy with your situation. maybe it doesn't seem like wasting to you, maybe you are happy disliking things, but if you dislike something, doesn't that mean you are unhappy with the presence of it? it makes more logical sense to enjoy things and to be filled with emotion, (if you separate yourself and view objectively, that is) a logical approach to day to day life kills emotion but a logical approach to values makes you realize you desperately need it, so if you can detach and apply to your existence as a whole- there's a perfect reason to die and a perfect reason to live, but the key is that living produces more endorphins. so for my own sake, and within my own values and truth and experience, I'm here for the ride.

It is hard to say when she started disliking the Girl in the mirror. It was probably about the time they gave her braces. Surely, she began to take only glances When she got pimples her hair wouldn’t cover Try as she did with different lengths and styles. The worst of it started when her friends began To round out and she stayed all lines and angles, Like a child among young women discovering themselves. It drove her inside herself, Further from her friends, one of whom Struck a devastating blow when the Girl overheard Herself called a pimply stick Just so a boy of dubious morals would laugh. She started hanging the towel on her mirror then. She told her mother it dried better that way. The woman accepted this And so the Girl in the mirror locked herself away. Mirrors cannot show the heart or wit Or the steadfast love within. There is only the reflection of beauty soon gone And cast aside for that. If only the Girl could see beyond the pale reflection.

The Girl in the Mirror
I searched for meaning In religion and philosophy. Taking on gods and Prophets. Gained some wisdom, but Ended up confused more than Enlightened. Lost the little firm footing I had. I searched in arts and music. Interprating. Analyzing. Enjoying and disliking. Expressing and being Alternative. Original. Outside the box. All I gained was an unhealthy Love of wine. Less meaning than I Began with. Some pretentious friends. More confusion than ever. So I stopped searching. Stopped chasing. Stood still drawing fresh, Crisp morning air into My lungs, then felt it travel To my soul. I closed my eyes and heard Her heartbeat through her Naked chest; her collar bone Against my temple. Attuned my own to hers. Dancing. Still. Dancing. Still. Dancing. Still. Everyday magic. Adventure within trivialities. Dirt on the knees of my new Jeans from recieving a hug from A five-year-old. Seeing pride in the eyes of my Parents from a distance. Unretainable love And lust in the eyes of My woman on a Tuesday afternoon.   No special occation at all. Just here, Now. Us. No need to struggle. To search. To run after anything. Just relax. Observe. Appreciate. Love. Long for, then Enjoy. Nothing is without reason. There's meaning in   Everything you sense, Everywhere you are; You.

Meaning
A reading at Kenneth Rexroth's bookstore, Union Street in San Francisco, 1971. He was incoherently drunk, slurred his poems, insulted the host, insulted the audience, hit on the awestricken hippie girls, delivered every kind of obnoxious possible. Fortunately, I had read his poems and arrived prepared to witness his act. I'd thought his poems were overrated, I found his persona to be spot on. At the reception, I drank a beer beside him. He glanced up, called me a ***** and said he ought to kick my *** Three weeks back for Vietnam, I laughed directly into his face. He turned onto another potential victim. Instead of some street smart poet, I saw him as just the flip side of the New York pretentiousness he professed to despise. But everybody loved the clown. Entire younger generations still do. Still, I'm sticking to my first impressions. Only toddlers beg to be worshiped. Sometimes it feels good to be the odd man out.   ~mce
