"exhausts" poems
Little poppies, little hell flames, Do you do no harm? You flicker. I cannot touch you. I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns And it exhausts me to watch you Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth. A mouth just bloodied. Little ****** skirts! There are fumes I cannot touch. Where are your opiates, your nauseous capsules? If I could bleed, or sleep! - If my mouth could marry a hurt like that! Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule, Dulling and stilling. But colorless. Colorless.

tired
Dear life, what is it that makes you take on a journey which always leads towards an unavoidable, devestating yet resenting death ? Since I cannot understand it fully I wander upon this world without finding any clear answers to satisfy the curiousity my heart bears. In the realm of dreams I find rest, as my mind engages into this illusion and frees me from this reality for as long as my body pleases. Awakened by loitering darkness, these questions are repeating themselves on a path of recurrance, without decreasing in strengh. As my breath dies while feeling the agony, flames of hatred are seeping through my fragile, delicate existence, giving energy. Rumbling, boiling in sadness I tell myself that anyone's forgiveness is not neccesary, losing control over this riot of pure fury without heart. Looking back a thousand times, it remains as my very best choice. Letting these emotions race, rage and rampage uncontrollably Whilst losing ones self within a lunatic laughter to release pressure I cannot stop these tears, pitying the past long gone rolling down my cheeks, moistening the very soil I am growing on, as a pure lily Until the moment comes in which my body exhausts itself and allows me to enter the world of dreams, where despair fades into happiness. Until the sun rises once again ~ Umi

Pure Lunacy
Dont you ever get tired Tired of this day and last night Tired of drinking coffee made from the gravy of a cows **** Or tired from the vile armpits plastered in your face on the tube I get tired Tired of drivers that try and cut me in two like their scissors or something Tired of so called men in cars with big exhausts and white vests parking in A disabled bay or parent and child when they are by themselves I get tired too Tired of all the fake news on the tv about a failed pop star loosening their Clothes whilst kids around the world starve Tired of politicians telling me how much better off I am than i was 5 years Ago ....really !!! Tiring aint it Tired of people always moaning yet seeing them never take a step to Change their life's Tired of the world in debt to itself from this so called money that doesn't Even exist I'm tired of all this Why cant we live together Why do we do such harm I want to live in heavens eyes I want to live the land Why do we fight for dusty tracks Such evils are not born It's time for us to change our rights I'm tired of all this harm So tired

Tired
There is a pear above me hovering reluctantly. It's skin firm, the colour of meadows in the midst of spring. Tightly it clung to that little stem on the branch which exerted much effort to keep it away from the ground. It looked down on me wanting badly to be picked. To be kept inside my pocket safe - and could be taken out in dark moments for company. It could also be tossed roughly in the sack to migle with other pears. Scratched pears. Battered pears. Broken pears. Happy pears. Wounded pears. Rotten pears. Abandoned pears. Neglected pears. Hate pears. Love pears. But it clings, above me completely out of reach. It sways in the wind, impossible to be climbed. And all I can do is wait here, down here, down below until time exhausts the branch until it decides to push my pear away in moments when I am most unprepared. It will fall on the ground and I won't be there to catch it - like people execute to people. Its flesh will cover the pavement the soil will sap its juice. It will kiss the soles of my shoes when I passed by Its remnants will knock, then eventually pound. And I will see that my untouchable pear has been reassembled to be a ruin that shelters history that homes the history people with historical names and historical nails and historical breath. That house will contain the smell of oil lamps lost letters, burnt maps and scarred love and my pear will accompany the parchment that human thoughts choose to abandon. Until then, I will not be writing for a while.

The hardest part is letting you walk out the door Back to your life That I know hurts you That I know exhausts you That consumes you I want to be there for you To take away the hurt I want you to be yourself again To be happy To be free To say and do what makes you content Without regret I adore touching you Kissing you Loving you The taste of your lips on mine The touch of your tongue on mine Every caress carves with such intensity Sometimes too unbearable Because I want this so much With you Your touches Your closeness Your warmth Makes me whole again I will wait for you My door remains open I will let you in

Waiting...
When some proud son of man returns to earth, Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth, The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe And storied urns record who rest below: When all is done, upon the tomb is seen, Not what he was, but what he should have been: But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still his master’s own, Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone, Unhonour’d falls, unnoticed all his worth— Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth: While Man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven, And claims himself a sole exclusive Heaven. Oh Man! thou feeble tenant of an hour, Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power, Who knows thee well must quit thee with disgust, Degraded mass of animated dust! Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat, Thy smiles hypocrisy, thy words deceit! By nature vile, ennobled but by name, Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame. Ye! who perchance behold this simple urn, Pass on—it honours none you wish to mourn: To mark a Friend’s remains these stones arise; I never knew but one,—and here he lies.

Inscription On The Monument Of A Newfoundland Dog
i bought a pack of cigarettes tonight, even though my lungs don't work quite right. i sat on the stairs in the yard of the old house with its walls crumbling, with its facade turned to dust. the air was so cold it stung my fingers, frost licking my face, turning my cheeks blood-red but nothing hurt as much as you do. i smoked a cigarette tonight, even though my lungs don't work quite right. the smoke filled me up and i feared it would leak out of all the holes you punched in me. it didn't. i choked and i coughed and it felt a little like drowning. like your mouth on my mouth, like your teeth on my neck. i choked and i coughed and it felt a little like you so i liked it. who cares i almost died. i smoked a second cigarette tonight, even though my lungs don't work quite right. nicotine ran in my veins, blue rivers along my pale skin and it felt, it really felt a lot like love. a lot like you. a lot like us. galaxies scattered across my skin, poison running in my blood, yes, it felt a lot like us. i didn't choke this time, but i think you would have laughed at the way i ****** on the cigarette **** i smoked a third cigarette tonight, even though my lungs don't work quite right. i swallowed cancer like a drug and it stung at the back of my throat, and it burned and it burned and it burned as ash gathered at the burning end and fell to the ground like snowflakes, little flakes of ash on my sneakers and it reminded me of your kisses a little, i didn't choke this time. i laughed. a bitter laugh. you hurt at the back of my mind as i put the cigarette out and i thought about the way you'd look at me, boldness in your eyes, hair a little all over the place and your mouth shaped in a little "o" as you blew circles of smoke out. i smoked a fourth cigarette tonight, even though my lungs don't work quite right. the cold stung but not as much as my lungs burnt and my brain burned and you hurt. i blew smoke out but never quite like you did, and i thought it looked and was a little ridiculous maybe to burn the leaves of a plant wrapped in paper and fill our fragile bodies with the exhausts we breathe out smoke like broken steam engines, ain't it funny, haha. you'd laugh, harshly, you'd bite me, you were always a little rough. i smoked a fifth cigarette tonight, even though my lungs don't work quite right. it's not half as venomous as you were, i decided. i put it out. cigarettes are so not worth the hype. you were. you are.

we share this space we share this union but i cannot be further away from you. your faults make me cringe your dependancy on praise exhausts me. the narcissist is in you feeds the bitterness in me. i had hoped that you would come to take me away and now i am sailing this boat alone. i hate it when people ask how i am. cause i cant tell them, the infinity of depair you bring upon me. they all bask in your glorious smile, and your casual demeanor. but they never see the insecurity the neediness the demands the dissapointments the sulking the depression the anger the violence the fear i feel around you. so i fight against a ghost, lash out at the wind. and i grow ever more lonely. cause you are too stuck in your own pain, to see me slipping away.

In measured verse I'll now rehearse The charms of lovely Anna: And, first, her mind is unconfined Like any vast Savannah. Ontario's lake may fitly speak Her fancy's ample bound: Its circuit may, on strict survey Five hundred miles be found. Her wit descends on foes and friends Like famed Niagara's fall; And travellers gaze in wild amaze, And listen, one and all. Her judgment sound, thick, black, profound, Like transatlantic groves, Dispenses aid, and friendly shade To all that in it roves. If thus her mind to be defined America exhausts, And all that's grand in that great land In similes it costs — Oh how can I her person try To image and portray? How paint the face, the form how trace, In which those virtues lay? Another world must be unfurled, Another language known, Ere tongue or sound can publish round Her charms of flesh and bone.

Mock Panegyric on a Young Friend
I am tired. I am tired of not sleeping. Tired of trying to stay awake, because each time I try to sleep every bad thought and guilty feeling consumes my mind’s fatigue and internalises the stress into energy. My anxiety can keep my mind running all night long. I am tired of running without crossing any distance. Running without moving is an exercise my mind is too out of shape to survive. I’m tired of running away. Each step pounds the point home that I am a coward. Each pound pushes the earth down until it reaches the other-side, causing another step along the way. The eternal footrace soldiers on thanks to the anxiety engine. I’m tired of fear. Repetitive worry exhausts every other thought from existing, so fear becomes the constant state. I’m so fluent in fear that I twitch at every sound and grip at every surface. My mouth is so prepared to scream that simple phrases of love and compassion, or even pleasantries and common courtesy involve intense concentration to untie my tongue. I am tired of the silence. Silence from those who don’t have the seconds to spare to consider these issues, silence from the loved ones who refuse to understand, silence from the health professionals who seem to know more about pushing drugs then pushing information. I am tried of the silence I am shackled to by a condition that hides in thousands of names and symptoms. I am tired of crying. I am tired of being unable to control a torrent of pointless salt and shame every time I need to ask a question in a train station or a bank. Countless scenarios with incalculable varying outcomes drain me, I cannot prepare for technology to fail, for accidents, for unhinged passers by or the end of the world. I cannot prepare for anything. I cannot control anything. Not even tears. I am tired of not sleeping, I am tired of not waking, I am tired of running and running away, I am tired of crying, I am tired of caring, I am tired of dreaming, I am tired of trying… I am tired of being tired. So ******* tired.

Hot boys express emotion in the resonance and width of their exhausts in pipe dreams of measurement in the rev and roar of super heated motors mixing spark and sensibility in the sudden screech and stretch of rubber marking asphalt and bitch-u-men out there in the middle ground where the road humps. Hot boys light up the night with high beams cruise the darkest alleyways of masculinity challenging old men at intersections - in their soft leather seats and euro-neat boxes of air-conditioned luxury and debt - to pole position and the chequered flag of fortune. Hot boys in cars that throb with bass notes and bootilicious chick lyrics - sung by black boys wicked in the zone always bragging ’bout their bone and how they make the ***** moan - snarl abuse at walking women fragile objects on the pavement shelves shaped colour lost in time that pass beyond their touch and reach. Hot boys are tiny traces of an oil rich mixture trailing blue smoke in their wake foot to the floor high stakes, top geared no brakes as they snake round the hills and the hairpin bends as they wrap tight trees at the crash, crush end and the hot boys cool in the night.

Hot Boys
Wait with me. Wait for the world to exist. Wait for what she will tell us. True, our breath echoes the sea’s sweeping tide. The inky bleeding of saltwater that calms and soaks. Drenched, this collective exhale. I’ve always preferred silk over velvet; that’s what the sea is. Silk over velvet. The moon has seen every unholy rite, her glare is cast cold. Over the Mysteries, over me. Every pulse of her is lapped up by the sea beneath. This shared breath is echoed in the sea is echoed in the moon; the universe folds itself. Lives inside a gasp. Wait with me. Wait for the world to exist by her own rules. Our stars are fading like so many discarded loves. The world is tired, she crumbles our castles. Crumbles our convent, exhausts our goddesses. Daughter of life, who slipped through Death’s doorway; she sinks below. A seasonal existence. Sunset spills red on the horizon, dedicates her evenings to us. We exist by her signal and her permission. She stretches her skin for the moon. Lays herself as a blanket on which night may sleep, cradled and safe; a nest of stars. We all seek Dawn’s relief. Wait with me. Wait for the world to exist in anger, in yellow, in rain.

Il faut laisser aller le monde comme il va
Caaaarpecaaarpe ... Caarpe Diem Keating whispered He whispered. in Delay there lies no plenty Shakespeare warned, gather ye rosebuds while ye may Herrick advised. We don’t whisper, warn or advise Generation Y PROCLAIMS! We shout, strong, sure and proud YOLO We chant, graffiti, hastag YOLO We get *one shot one opportunity to seize everything in we ever wanted in one moment* **** the romantics,. The critics, the experts, the analyzers too. YOLO Who says we can’t be prophetic, Philosophical, Beautiful? This is us, Our time our chance, so let’s make the most of the night like we’re gunna die young. It is our excuse. The reason I hit the gas rev the engine and slam it to the floor. With squealing tires, loud exhausts and smoky exits You can hear me we are young so lets set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun. We need to do this now, before the light in our eyes, light of our lives, go out. YOLO The reason we face mountains of debt with a smile. The face we put on brave, ready, awake when the bill collectors call, the healthcare goes into reform and the government shuts down. YOLO This moment, we own it this second in a catalogue of years. The months we spend crashing cars, bars and acting like stars. YOLO The reason we apply for jobs, we’ll never get. Taking rejection with a grin we will always try again. YOLO it is the reason I joined the race. After all, You. Only. Live. Once. -Kayla Morrison

But it's cut into my short term memory It's been cruel and even driven me to my knees I have a healthy fear of what it's capable of But if I could ride a Harley cross country Surely I could handle doing it high as a kite Biker girls, sorry to break your hearts I got a respectable old lady who won't sit on the seat of a Harley We have discussed parameters But the sum total is you won't be getting what you want That doesn't mean you might not get something and something valuable and life-changing at that It's all at my discretion Because biker girls sweep me off my feet And the "look but you better not touch" rule is a little too strict Especially when we make it to the ocean Our naked bodies like a school of shark in shallow Pacific liquid Just a **** or two before jumping in the water Feel in good, like singing with John Kaye ******* the pusher man My Harley-Davidson's caked with mud and sea salt, dripping gooey red dirt Watch over 'em for me Cuz we gonna be here for awhile

Your smug exhausts me.   Wasted, under desert skies by stagnant waters reflected in your shades, and-- I had to shake you. And whence the dust had loosened from cracks like earth beneath your skin, I was afraid and fled from mine.

Exhaustion
We hobble along with outrage fatigue And watch as nothing ever exhausts Our Machiavellian leaders' use Of the media to win at all costs. False story lines prevail. To hell with accuracy and precision. Sowing distrust of higher learning Solidifies their paranoid vision. Watch how their destructive disdain For expertise gains vitality As people's opinions and feelings stomp On any form of objective reality. Watch as they rewrite history; Notice how data can be erased As they become suspicious of much Information that's science-based. Language becomes weaponized: Hyperbole, salacious lies, And slippery superlatives Celebrate truth's demise. Party loyalty: that is key. All that matters is the sale. Hijacking democracy Becomes the goal: the holy grail. Mobilized by grievance, they Inflame fear and anger. They hope That we will find scapegoats to blame When we are at the end of our rope. A general illiteracy On issues that affect our lives Keeps us all in doubt while they Create fake news and sharpen their knives. Ah, how they want you to fear Government, which is ironic, For they themselves are government. Look at their smiles, cold and sardonic. Give equal weight to both Sides of arguments, they say. That's how they can justify Bigotry and lead us astray. While extremist views go mainstream, Blurred lines make life hazy. Keep watering narcissism, And you will see it grow like crazy. Their careful manipulation of language Proves how much their rhetoric's swollen. The people find it hard to accept That basic freedoms are being stolen. As we lament the death of truth And wonder how it came to pass, Before we cast blame we must Peer into the looking glass. -by Bob B (9-28-18) °Inspired by "The Death of Truth" by Michiko Kakutani

Watch how their destructive disdain For expertise gains vitality As people's opinions and feelings stomp On any form of objective reality. Watch as they rewrite history; Notice how data can be erased As they become suspicious of much Information that's science-based. Language becomes weaponized: Hyperbole, salacious lies, And slippery superlatives Celebrate truth's demise. Party loyalty: that is key. All that matters is the sale. Hijacking democracy Becomes the goal: the holy grail. Mobilized by grievance, they Inflame fear and anger. They hope That we will find scapegoats to blame When we are at the end of our rope. A general illiteracy On issues that affect our lives Keeps us all in doubt while they Create fake news and sharpen their knives. Ah, how they want you to fear Government, which is ironic, For they themselves are government. Look at their smiles, cold and sardonic. Give equal weight to both Sides of arguments, they say. That's how they can justify Bigotry and lead us astray. While extremist views go mainstream, Blurred lines make life hazy. Keep watering narcissism, And you will see it grow like crazy. Their careful manipulation of language Proves how much their rhetoric's swollen. The people find it hard to accept That basic freedoms are being stolen. As we lament the death of truth And wonder how it came to pass, Before we cast blame we must Peer into the looking glass. -by Bob B (9-28-18) °Inspired by "The Death of Truth" by Michiko Kakutani

Through a wet night, And beside an ancient moon, Came the wolfs howling croon, Sacred trees breath, And fire exhausts the soft air, True Leopards lair. Lying with eyes of beauty, And the quiet stillness of perfection, Silent and soothing, The velvet wind, As she licks and teases, Flicks and breezes under my skin, And again I'm within her secret layer, Easing, breathing, United duelation, The birth of a nation swims silently in the dark, Probing sublimation, Soft and smooth, To the end of the groove, And still no more to move, For sweat speaks exhausted talk, And pleasure retires to reincarnate, We've breached the gate, Coupled warmth smothers, The light fades, Woven bodies beneath the moon, Sleep now for we will awake soon. ....................................................

Coupled Warmth
I recall the rustic leaves, and the sound they made when crushed under skateboard wheels, as they settled around the half-pipe and the worn rails of Peter Pan Park. Youngsters, with their colorful helmets and their better-safe-than-sorry knee pads, kicked and pushed their way across the pavement and pumped their fists in the air as their boards reached the other side. In this Neverland, the kids wanted adventure first - the tea could wait at home for a little longer. But, as dusk settles, the pirates emerge upon the asphalt shores in fleets of tinted windows and loud exhausts. These pirates, still adolescent in their own age, bicker and fight until a hook pierces skin, blood spills upon the crisp leaves, and a boy - with naiveness still glistening in his eyes - becomes another boy who would not grow up in the Never Never of Peter Pan Park.

“Democracy… while it lasts is more ****** than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” – John Adams

Democratic Quote
No use to fight the bloodshot eyes Stained from the tears I cry And Your love that is seeming to die I sit Light? I need none,  just wanna feel a buzz Yet nobody kills the high of your lust better than you That pedestal I put you on has sky scraped my heart raw Yet the pain keeps me wanting fix Fistfuls of tears and hate we ****** at each other Burning our trust Til the smoke exhausts us Time stops and forgiveness is brought I love you’s and fantasies are from silent thoughts to passionate exchanges We seal our soon to be broken promises with a kiss A pattern so sweet my tongue can’t seem to keep itself off of you The rain could never drown me, for I stand beneath you My umbrella Beholding patches Exposing the brisk to my lips Cheeks would be stained red if I was a shade of pale Embarrassed, To be seen trapped within this thing of sorts which you call love

Lovestruck
I barely know your name, I have seen your face, A sorrowful divinity, Delicate like the pain in your eyes, Small, sweet, yet somehow broken, The tranquil pain says so much. Your hair drinks in the light, And your hands hold a smooth Grief that grows deep and kills, Eventually you will see a poem And wonder if you are like that, If your beauty is calamitous, If your rose petal smile Cries with humble tears When you look at distant stars, Wether you see white doves Of dark Ravens , Or even both in your sleepy heart, You who hold the adoration Of the blind man, In love with shells, You- beauty of the sorrows- Have a sweet hole in your heart, Love complete, body and soul, I confess your picture is a spectre, It exhausts my soul And I open my arms, Would you run to me? Would you just half smile And cry a tear for what will never be? You have a divine thirst, And your eyes carry a myriad Of fluttering whispers, Words that float to me, The wrath of your being, One day to find one another..... The bitter heaviness of your name, Angela....Angela...... Angela, I whisper to broken air, Your picture is a feast of beauty, Yet I cannot hope for more Than a haunted glare. I sink myself into mortal grief, The paralysis of you, Angela....Angela.... You leap to life When nothing is possible.
