"draining" poems
Lovers entered a forbidden forest bower, And as they stalked that range, with eyes glazed, She offered up her hind. Now, with doe eyes, Deep as his, deep in arousal's sleep, heels fell,  As he knocked and pulled her dark honey hair  And whispered, surrender, into wanting ears,  Softly he drove his hunting command, homing  To his huntress. Her body braced, yet bade, with heat and vibrance. Ruthlessly, he ****** his arrow deeper and then  Once more and then again.  She bucked fiercely  And defiant, goading his prodding lance ever more Ever longer, and parting the pink lines of her white Rose, he was, and once again, Prince to the dark Dominion of her quarters. In the middle of this carnal match they paused. And looking into the forest beyond they saw A yearling fawn, a feral Goddess, grazing still,  Bathing in a vale, virginal, wholly unmoved  By their act of venery, lustfully playing, in the innocent  Leaves.  It was as if they were among her kin, a gentle  Doe and a noble stag. From that moment on  The human hunters did not speak. Falling, again, rolling eyes were deep in arousal's sleep. Her back was a crescent moon pocked and wet with dew. He could feel her heart beating in time with his piercing  Prong, her arching back glistened in the suns spittle As it broke through the dark and vernal ceiling wood. In the final shot her quivering buck lowered and broke And a sound not heard, made a scene, a sweet murmuring Shuddered and sank onto the floor of the forest leaves  With her tale, taken and told, her breathless breath,  Her nostrils cold and her heated and lanced openings  Dripping, draining; here was a New World’s beginning. Sated, solemn and softly quaking, his woman sweetly laid, And now, doomed with her doe eyes, two lovers, fated, made; She glowed, divine, like the rolling brook that mellowed Slow, in the vine-dark and golden forest stable, In Artemis’s wood.

Draining life to fill it with watered-down pain, can he feel now? If my teeth make an appearance, you'll be given your fix of my 'happiness,' injected through your cranium. I wish I could navigate my naive wishes, as I'm sinking in my pillows, and the light on the ceiling is winking at me as I'm patched up, written in 'unhappy' My uncanny doubts are fancying a feathery gift of sleep, unlike this fascination with falling feet to my death of dreams-

Carved Cranium
I’m running in circles I’ve got a scattered brain Does this look normal? Or have I gone insane? I tired of the 9-5 Just look in my eyes This job is draining me Of my creativity And happy vibes I come home and I just wanna die It doesn’t help that I live In a lions den Every morning I wake up There’s a beautiful silence And then Noon comes around here comes Big mama with a big ole frown I thought I’d just chill on my day off Rent is paid but it ain’t enough I think I need some air Maybe I should go to my moms house And see if my family cares Ha Ha I needed that laugh Look at me I’ve begun to chaff Anything to just break a smile People swear I’m crude or ******* vile Yet we got fools praising a dead man A woman beater a native to gang land I’m just trying to get my head straight Don’t bother me now No time to contemplate Tummy’s hungry And I’ve got an empty plate

Round and round
I thought I knew But I know nothing I can feel you baby Leading me astray I repeat to myself: “You are not small. You are the universe In ecstatic motion.” But I feel small I feel the universe Slowly draining From my soul Because I know nothing But I feel everything And I don’t want to feel anymore.

*Further my mind goes, than I believed it could fathom Fathoms below even the deceased dreams chasm Impassionately growing through and between atoms To learn There is no whole truth in solely words Blindfolded, if your mind isn't where the memory occurs So it's sure We'll never understand more than we're capable to confer And it doesn't mean, you can't relate to the way I toss n' turn In my sleep That it isn't the same color we bleed Or that we aren't perhaps equally 'deep' Just that we hold some nature of privacy in our thoughts, from any other's gaze Did I mention it was books of seperate authors, though we're on the same page? What I wish to relate today Is I have been changing to date I'm breaking, down just like anyone else Draining my health Enslaved by the chase of wealth Smiling while we're high, but we'll retreat to our personal hells The honesty is, I'm scared to delve into myself Because I know where my truth gets ugly, and has no glamour Not the 30 second commercial version of what it's like living with cancer It's habits, actions and manner Looming over my pride Leaving a weakness in my stride Making me feel tired before I've tried*

You Can't Keep Secrets From Your Dignity
Anxiety is an animal Anxiety is a carnivorous beast Anxiety grips onto you and doesn’t let go, digging its fangs in Anxiety has painful fangs Anxiety has claws (retractable) Anxiety sits on the edge of a table, meowing morosely Anxiety digs its claws in when it doesn’t want to do something Anxiety reminds you it needs feeding Anxiety hisses, bites and scratches Anxiety eats ferociously, draining you. Anxiety gives you disdainful looks Anxiety reminds you it needs feeding Anxiety has tiny fangs Anxiety reminds you again it needs feeding Anxiety looks down at you with its hairy body from the top shelf Anxiety will sit with you, out of spite Anxiety is only doing so to remind you he needs feeding Anxiety might fall asleep Anxiety might bite your hand while you fall asleep, he needs food Anxiety is fed Anxiety might possibly maybe if you-are-really-very-nice allow you to pet him. Anxiety falls asleep You fall asleep Anxiety reminds you he needs feeding, loudly.

ANXIETY
Yesterday's episode drained the life out me. I felt empty inside. And now I'm just filling up with sadness. I don't know what you are trying to achieve with this space thing, but I never asked for it. It feels like it is more of an excuse for you not to deal with me. A way to manipulate me so that you isolate me more until the point I am so broken that will come crawling back to you. So you don't have to put in energy, but so that I keep draining myself until I can't take it anymore. Till a reach the point of.. It's not worth it anymore.

Emotional Abuse
Suffering stirs up the soul In agony, there are new realizations Right in the middle, starts a chaotic vortex Draining up all the energy, leaving the body numb The mind is aware, yet it can’t control the situation Getting more and more ****** into the commotion The uneasiness unsettles the whole constitution Shaking the belief for some time, yet, takes a heavy toll Suffering gives a new awakening, to life’s adversities Sometimes, we have to silently and vehemently fight Like a lone fighter, up against, so many enemies The mind as a weapon, is all you have Sharpen it and keep it agile, as it’s the only weapon To fight the sufferings, that gets hold of you

Suffering
I apologize for my thoughts and my actions But you must understand that I am what they call a man. And no matter how perfect any woman thinks iam, I might as well be nonexistent. For women are the most alluring, sinful ,angelic animals on earth. I am simply bewitched by your existence. I can not resist directing an ****** daydream, Every seven minuets. The being of your facts, Makes me want to fall to my death beneath your feet Something about those hills That makes my teeth want to sink into my lips. That voice makes me want to do one thing: Hear it moaning. No matter how hard I attempt to be an angel, My devil enduringly conquers. We refuse to admit that a woman is stronger than a man. We could easily succeed in having a human being develop Inside of us and painfully ****** it out of a diminutive hole Nine physically and emotionally draining months later. “We could probably do it better than you can.” We just act ignorant and Heedlessly assume what is logical; However, in the reaction center, that every man denies, lives the manifest verity that: Women. Are. Stronger. To be born into a stormy emotional spectrum With color and darkness Alone shelters the truth for you. Fact: A man does use his small head much more often then His actual head, simply, because men don’t know how to use it. How convenient it is to be born with two heads. let its roots anchor into your minds and consume your conscious. -Arizona

Sarcastic Sexist Subliminal Offensive Mockery
De-winged and flightless          is the dragonfly               that tried to slip by                        in my slipstream, It found instead the pickup           traversing the alleyways                of my convoluted imagination. I don’t know why I’m driving,           ever driving someplace                 unrealized and unexplored. I feel so disconnected, I feel so disrespected by the world                 sometimes But that’s not fair            it has been good to me. I feel so disconnected         sometimes and yet it comes in times            when I’m most consumed                 most surrounded. Maybe I’m just tired         and the walls around me quiver only from the struggles of my waking eyes, Maybe I’m just bitter         that I can’t have the perfect life                  and feel as if nothing could be better, Maybe I’m affected         by this liquid life I’m draining from my cup                  in hopes of finding a different day                                             at the bottom. Is it jealousy that lingers in my mind         or mere longing tinged with a heavy                  dose of confusion? I am confused. And yet I’m still alive         unlike my dragonfly                   and so I stumble onward. -BRD

The elements have merged into solicitude, Spasms of violets rise above the mud And **** and soon the birds and ancients Will be starting to arrive, bereaving points South. But never mind. It is not painful to discuss His death. I have been primed for this -- For separation -- for so long. But still his face assaults Me; I can hear that car careen again, the crowd coagulate on asphalt In my sleep. And watching him, I feel my legs like snow That let him finally let him go As he lies draining there. And see How even he did not get to keep that lovely body.

The Racer's Widow
no one is subscribing to the universal affection draining subconscious ailment that needs no treatment quaking with fear shaking with revulsion looking to prolong an hour, a minute stretching one second into ten seconds where are we going, past the streetlights the crossroads the commotion inside the canal boat that surrounds and accompanies this road - will it ends one day, sometimes, somewhere and brings an end to the entire's generation guilt and disease?

Crossroads
Lilium, Ah, you fascinating flower, an old gardener who still looks after his duty, mumbled to himself in awe of the stargazer and spider lilies, They seem so majestic, yet innocent to the extent of a wounderous aura sent by their gentle yet stinging smell, spreading across the room He said to himself that maybe,  if they are as beautiful and heavenly as he thought,their taste should be beyond reasoning goodness, sweet Just one bite later, the taste engaging in his old mouth has caused him to become numb, confused and with an irrigular heart rate, paralised. Oh such an intent, to punish all those who dare to bring ruin to their glory by eating them, trying their taste with death ? Truly murderous. Seeping through his body before slowly draining his poor life force, the fate of an unknowing man who had become the vessel of great unfolding fury of a flower which seemed to be so kind before hand. A treasure is alike a flower, the gift of life resembling its beauty and hournour, growing proud until the sweet poison of death overtakes it When I knew the meaning of eternity you were no longer there, Darling ~ Umi

Lilies of Murderous Intent (2)
"No! No! This cannot be happening" The words stumbled out as I tried hard to keep the sogged eye from draining My vision became blurrer And blurrer as I turned and run out of the house Grabbing my stiletto as I did Under the pear tree in the garden I stopped And allowed the now heavy eyes To drain the burning water They flow on like pain from broken heart Bitter and hurt Bitter from the disappointment and forlon From a mixture of shock, disbelief and loss Served in a glass of betrayal and a tray of painful regret I raise the dagger in a drunken cognition For my sob now has become the cry of a damage soul A disfigured spirit I can barely hear them from without in the midst of the caos Those little voices in my heard Screaming out at me Hitting hard on the walls of my mind Pushing my conciense "Do it!" one says "It wouldn't solve the problem" the other retorts "But it will end it!" "Leaving bigger problems" The blood in my head boils The heat rising in exponents The tension now causes my whole body to trob To ache My mind cannot hold it any longer The quicker the better I opened my mouth to say my final words But all the came out Was a scream.

"O poor, unthinking human heart! Error will not go away, logic and reason are slow to penetrate. We cling with both arms to false hope, refusing to believe the weightiest proofs against it, embracing it with all our strength. In the end it escapes, ripping our veins and draining our heart's blood; until, regaining consciousness, we rush to fall into snares of delusion all over again." Rabindranath Tagore , The Postmaster

I'm on the run And not for fun The police are chasing My heart is racing When my life is at stake My morality I'll break The police release the hounds I can hear their deadly sounds They want to maim me I want to stay me I decide to fight the charging canines Because I just snorted a ******* line My judgement loses length To my influx of strength I break the dogs' legs Until they beg That's not enough Sorry Scruff The steel gun I fire A furry cop retired The police attack me For defending myself They refuse to see The danger to my health They chose to use crazy canines So I feel the fault isn't mine That doesn't change their decision For me to die slowly in prison I am in the teeth of the government Much to my human wonderment This is the way I'll spend the rest of my life For the decisions I made at the end of a knife The irony is cops **** dogs all the time Yet they obstruct their vision of the line Where it ceases to be man versus society And becomes man versus nature When a man is in peril He must turn feral But in a country that blindly idolizes aggression The police don't acknowledge this discretion They dig their teeth into our skin While draining us financially The only way we'll ever win Is if things change substantially Sadism fervently fuels the flames of conflict With an exasperated public sick of being kicked Cruelty is what they witness To lose their mental fitness How can they protect their babies When the police have rabies? The police relationship with the effected public will never shift When there's a Cereberus between them maintaining the rift

Up early as usually but this time with a mission to complete Halloween Costumes. Not a pain free day most definitely, but have kids who rely on me to be a good mom. Everyone has haters; the two faced, "your girls" wanting your guy or envy clothes style, or randoms you never met, desiring your life, home or new car bought with hard work. Most days what's posted on sites about me makes not a bit of difference in my world, I ignore and move on with my life, know haters have nothing better to do than gossip. No news is good news and nothing from my usual "Town Criers" saying "Guess What?" One day got messages in text, "You have been labeled Babylon's ***** by Craiglisters!" Not a "lol" nor "Roflmao" situation. Thinking, What in the world? and How in the world? Me, Ms. Abstaining and they, who love assuming and posting drama without thought. Their world; small town America and believers of truth in "all" internet rumors and media, not willing to give benefit of doubt, once minds, so limited in thought, have been made up. E-mail inquiries from potential employers I never met from destinations far far away, asking and informing that person with such low morals shall never be part of their world. Drama finds me and neither welcome nor do I seek it out, way too emotionally draining, believer in live and let live, authored "Celibacy" poem to stop jokes made to my kids. Who knew that trying for your dreams could bring forth bringers or illogical pure hatred? Who knew that emotions of my children whom I love, would be affected by narrow minds? After family conference and with full support, by the way, had to explain ***** to son, this mom carries on and still on second journey pursuing dreams and making realities. If I give up dreams it will never be because someone posted bold faced lies on open forum, it will be because I choose to do it with good reasons and those reasons are mine alone. Pitfalls? Have been numerous. Will? Strong and still determined to see this through to end. Tomorrow isn't promised and hear my dad say, "Daughter, go forth and let haters be fuel!"

Ears pressed cool against glass tables and vinyl flooring words score high drained slowly slow like wasps caught in guttered draining not like velvet names etched in casing, but weathered like bricked and beaten graffiti – Waning like wax always melting Tools: spelling and grammar – uncheck Don’t fret too many gerunds grounding air suffocating hearing between the lines that past lower truths out straight in dirt and stinky face: eyes drawn with pensive staring lines drawn global remains of words unused: boycott form because it isn’t daring. Adopt sonar because it traces the smokestack between eaves drop and scrap metal hearing like thorns prickled cut by cleaver. Clink, clink, clank. Unlatch cellar doors of images fixed in meaning: glances slanted heads poked out behind legs enchanting ink under eyelids. Clank, click, click. Wishing: Sunday morning came to rest and the cat perched rest without the windowsill and the space between my legs lost meaning. Forgetting: Painted houses haunting furniture misplaced, training lessons in memory fading.   Dreaming: Sounds dipped in vegetable oil, Van Morrison in teething states caring. Still lost without my last breathe wondering…

THERAPY IN WRITING
The only way I know how to describe depression to people who don't understand what it is like, is by telling them "Imagine, you had this awful ache inside of your soul. It embeds itself so deep, like the darkest, most painful bruise you ever received, but it has attached itself like a leech, to your soul. It is a part of you, constantly throbbing, which makes other parts of your body hurt. As the throbbing in you soul continues, it branches off into your head, where it grows like a **** Your brain starts to throb to the point where you can almost feel it becoming too large for your skull to contain. You almost want to do unthinkable things, to release all the pressure in your head. The throbbing continues into all your muscles. Every move is painful and draining. You go about your life, into the world as a normal person putting on a facade, when really, you can't even fathom how you are taking every step and every breath. You are just one big ball of throbbing energy. Now imagine feeling that everyday." That is the only way I can describe it.
