"goner" poems
you're lost in the wild you don't know where you are, you don't know what to do, so you're dying in the dark. you're looking for a trace you're looking for a place, but all you get is this maze you should've seen your face you got burned, got cornered no turns, just liars. and when you try to seek out the exit, you find the monsters in your closet smiling, waiting, hungry to dive in you can run, but you can't hide you can try, but you'll be found so you're lonely in the streets, you've been sleeping there, no sheets you're looking for a mirror, looking for a lover, looking for a mother, looking for a savior, but you're alone, child. but are you lone, child? are you gonna cry now? be brave child. the time is ticking this game you're playing, it's never ending, but try to win it. you say you're fine, but you hope with fright. you curse your life, cuz it's killing you with pride. the door is open, but the sign says closed your heart is breaking, but you got no one to hold. so you hold onto your dreams: bright, and thriving lights, NYC but is it worth it? can you chase it? can you catch it? or miss all of it? you sit in the corner of the bed you're thinking about life, you're thinking about death you're thinking about your friends, you're thinking about your family when you thought of yourself, you thought of yourself lastly. you sit and think about living what to do to learn? what to do to earn? how to keep up the pace? how to dance in the rain? and why are you lonely in this sick, crazy game? so you wake up in the streets the air is warm, so you smile, and you breathe looking for dime, looking for a rhyme, looking for more time, looking for your prime looking for a flower, looking for a paper, cuz that is what you're best at: painting words then you're a goner.

an all purpose cleaner response to the how-ya-doing-question, as my vibe unmistakable; the hatred in the world directed at MY PEOPLE, is inexplicable, beyond reason, a hatred raw and pure in the tiny places we humans hide it, lest our ancient linkage to an unreasoned, embarrassing emotion, be revealed but now revealed it is reveled, as the freedom to despise is a valued thing is an ancient scar, now freshly wounded and the two thousand year old accumulated, callused, surrounding wafer thin, layered upon layer of tissue, wiped away in utter disbelief cleansed, a different kind of impure clean, “like” an ethnic cleansing, traceless, whisked away in a wink of moment, a goner. like hope, prior sentient optimism sentenced to life imprisonment and this sentence, and this very sentence! written finally understanding that it is a punishment far worse than the quick relief of death. c’mon, how about a few “fukk you jew” cri de coeur, heartfelt, genuine, pointless hate no, not I, no, not me, spare me the pithy comments, the pointless sympathy, glistening like evaporating water droplets before disappearing, I ask myself, not why they hate, why it persists, for this I understand and accept the foulness of what we are capable of is, beloved, as a secret pleasure, now secreted in torrents. no, I ask myself, why do I write poetry, for it is as pointless as the hatred directed at me, from birth, till death, and ever after, the humanity of poetry just another fraud another reason why this man cries in the bathroom,^ not from any shape of shame, because poetry is pointless in times of hatred, and now we know, recognize, it is always somewhere, nearby, always present and prescient, pointless hatred, itching to be pointed at me, makes for pointless poetry. To whom shall I point my poetry?

Tolstoy was a boy, Ibsen was Henrik's son Hardy had a father, And see how well they've done. Byron was a grandson, And Wordsworth had a wet nurse, Thoreau had a 2 to go, Shakespeare a bad marriage, Austen was a loner, Poor Sylvia was a goner, And see how well they've done. Joyce had a ***** mind, Fitzgerald liked to drink, Richler liked to smoke, And Wolfe enjoyed a **** And see how well they've done. Fielding was a misogynist, Wilde was a jailbird; Virginia a misandrist, And Kerouac a simple **** Yet see how well they've done. Still with all their drawbacks, Look how well they've done; Like our old friend John, We surely come un-done.

"stranger" song by:sassy love
This door leads you right where you are. Scents and sights arriving here are affirmation of dying chemistry between you and the world; Therefore you sense them stronger than man ever has. Prophecies melt for this inhuman moment, not Unfamiliar to your spirit. The Barista cooks you a liquid meal, a brat hums your favorite tune, but the aftermath is they all leave. Through a door which leads them back again. Daughter, son Whatever sensation keeps them here with me keeps you standing stagnant Ungasping, in need of Gasping. A goner, secret front-runner This door leads you right to yourself. Scents and sensations locked in our fish-eyes Relinquish blindness, as is your job.

Door
They walk aloof among us Three percent of the population They reluctantly dine with us Quietly, stifling their frustration They don't look back as you pass They don't want your conversation Empathy is just an alien concept They focus only on self preservation But here's where it gets strange We worship them with huge salaries We beg them to lead us the way We ignore their blatant deceptiveness We hand them our hard earned pay If they say bail out the banksters Or send your kids to a dubious war We offer them our kids and cash Knowing that they will ask for more Stranger still Our history has been sculpted by them We raise bronze statues proudly in their honor Through our plain idleness and cowardice They can reduce this planet to a nuclear goner "How did this madness occur?" We question Why do psychos run banks and governments Checking world history offers a suggestion To why we (the population) are slaves for rent We are simply afraid of those That successfully navigate life With reckless irresponsibility Unchallenged by others strife It is those destructive characters We plead to take political risks In return for obedience and cash To buy more power and obelisks

****** Worship
It was my father who left me, To discover a place of his own, Lonely and disheartened I felt, For a place called, "unknown." Baffled was I, As to why he suddenly left me, I trembled alone in fear, Was I a goner soon to be? Where have my hopes gone? Withered away to stone, Leaving nothing but the past, For a place called, "unknown." Why do I feel resentment, My father had a horrifying tone, Had left me heartbroken, For a place called, "unknown." My heart beats like thunder, As I shiver to the bone, My father ruined me, For a place called, "unknown." Where will I go from here? Too much my father had shown, A martyr my father will always be, For a place called, "unknown."

"Heartless"
as i sit in the café alone, reading, and drinking hot tea i look over and see his brown eyes staring back at me he notices me and makes his way over to sit down and in those brown gorgeous eyes, i'll surely drown we talk for hours until the café has to close its doors i jot down my number and make sure i've got yours he takes my hands and says "we have to do this again" and there are so many sparks between us, its insane i immediately blush, nodding and saying "okay" and i know it's pretty obvious im a goner anyways you give me a sweet and tender kiss on the lips i hear your voice telling me not to give you the slip i smile and realize it will always be.. him the coffee shop and me.

I was a no name worker bee Yet I had a million bees all working for me I was a caryatid, house wife, never had the life of a queen Stole my honey from the wasps with the wax in their wings I was a comatose burn victim I could hear the nurses whisper sanctum sanctorum! They fed me nutrients and cleaned my ****** They either didn’t care or they didn’t think I could hear them I was alive when the lightning struck But I was dead by second, to survive my luck I wasn’t anything special I was a mass produced individual They had no names worth knowing They had no future where they were going And I never thought twice about what I did The quiet megalomania of a caryatid And then my patience turned to rampage I took a page from Genghis Khan I wanted the roaches gone I hatched suburban escape plans Because my angst was delayed A generation late & afraid Now in the presence of the gods and goddesses And in the confidence of infinite this is Another power grab a singularity Another force to fight reverse polarity I’m all about the lust and not the wander I am the lingering presence of a long goner I’m here to clarify the **** of daughters The spider stink in the breath of fire If we could **** for utility instead of a performance to showcase our species’ ability Then we’d be hunted by viruses The gods and goddesses with the instinct to extinct humanity Chaos is healthy, its part of reality, essential to symmetry, like night is to day When life is weighed on a pendulum Like sanctum sanctorum The delicate faberge There isn’t anything to bother with on top of the monolith I’m shouting mantras from the mountain peak There isn’t any time to practice with a modern creation myth A lullaby in a language I don’t speak

Soufflé light massages my eyes A cool oven breeze puts out the lies I am a Goner, no lives Lived this day as boredom gallops through. Its hooves are in need of a deep clean They don't allow the light to gleam. So the light lets off steam Horses halt, dragging thief feet in hope of defeating this power, wishing the paper would jam But the sun, though none the wiser, paints the walls and the faces. Cooks a most creative meal. Brings the stampede to a kneel.

I didn't see their spirits ascending, in ribbons of light, only rivers of their red blood soaking the green ground, yet today ravenous for more it seems why would she rage against the good night, when her carriage waited patiently for her, and immortality, her vessel bound for a light Dylan and I will never see

what doesn't **** you... PTSD
If you knew I love you, would your heart change its beat? If you knew how many nights I have stayed awake thinking of you, would you think of me too? If you knew how many times I reread the words "I will always hold you close to my heart, no matter what.", would you reread mine too? If you knew I cry over the fact that you're gone, would you come back? If you knew that I put you up on one of my highest pedestals, would you rethink yours? If you knew I hear those five words in my head constantly, would you hear them too? If you knew how many times I have longed for your embrace, would you say you long for mine too? Our last days with each other were magical and filled with love for me, were they for you too?        That move star hug, oh you know which one. The one where you were strutting down the senior walk out line filled with people and you just stopped about 6 yards away from me. Looked me straight in the eyes and opened your loving arms, not caring about your long time buddies on the side screaming your name. I booked it down that line of loud, sweaty, standing in shock teenagers and collapsed in your arms. You picked me up, spun me around, and with tears in your eyes you whispered those five words that changed my life forever... "I will always love you.". Do you remember now?        At your graduation party I was a goner. My mother came and talked to yours while I went down and said my final goodbyes. "It's never goodbye Big Sean." You whispered in my ear as I gave you a final hug. My mother was behind me when you said that. And when we got back in the car the first thing she said was "That boy loves you, I can see it in his eyes." finally it seamed like I wasn't dreaming and someone else noticed it too. They way you look at me rather than everyone else, even your girlfriend. So do you see why my heart aches for you to come back, to love me? If you knew I love you, would your heart change its beat? If you knew how many nights I have stayed awake thinking of you, would you think of me too? If you knew how many times I reread the words "I will always hold you close to my heart, no matter what.", would you reread mine too? If you knew I cry over the fact that you're gone, would you come back? If you knew that I put you up on one of my highest pedestals, would you rethink yours? If you knew I hear those five words in my head constantly, would you hear them too? If you knew how many times I have longed for your embrace, would you say you long for mine too?                                                                    Please say you'll do...

If you knew I love you...
If you knew I love you, would your heart change its beat? If you knew how many nights I have stayed awake thinking of you, would you think of me too? If you knew how many times I reread the words "I will always hold you close to my heart, no matter what.", would you reread mine too? If you knew I cry over the fact that you're gone, would you come back? If you knew that I put you up on one of my highest pedestals, would you rethink yours? If you knew I hear those five words in my head constantly, would you hear them too? If you knew how many times I have longed for your embrace, would you say you long for mine too? Our last days with each other were magical and filled with love for me, were they for you too?        That move star hug, oh you know which one. The one where you were strutting down the senior walk out line filled with people and you just stopped about 6 yards away from me. Looked me straight in the eyes and opened your loving arms, not caring about your long time buddies on the side screaming your name. I booked it down that line of loud, sweaty, standing in shock teenagers and collapsed in your arms. You picked me up, spun me around, and with tears in your eyes you whispered those five words that changed my life forever... "I will always love you.". Do you remember now?        At your graduation party I was a goner. My mother came and talked to yours while I went down and said my final goodbyes. "It's never goodbye Big Sean."

It was my father who left me, To discover a place of his own, Lonely and disheartened I felt, For a place called “unknown.” Baffled was I, As to why he suddenly left me, I trembled alone in fear, Was I a goner soon to be? Where have my hopes gone, Withered away to stone, Leaving nothing but the past, For a place called, “unknown.” Why do I feel resentment? My father had a horrifying tone, Had left me heartbroken, For a place called, “unknown.” My heart beats like thunder, As I shiver to the bone, My father ruined me, For a place called, “unknown.” Where will I go from here? Too much my father had shown, A martyr my father will always be, For a place called, “unknown.”

"Heartless"
Drop the rocks Full-grown pop in the jaw Bleeding gold Won't save your soul Moving again and again and again and again Until the pacific Closes behind your back because criticism smacks kids out of whack Morphemes-phonemes again and again Given the knowledge of a recycling bin of letters Use them again and again Won't save your soul Atom smash logic replaying and playing before your eyes Some days it's too much coal to mine Mouth covered when you step in time Won't make your life I'm a goner if I can't stand on the rocks and if the laundry doesn't burn If the grim reaper doesn't speak nonsense words from one state of consciousness to the other Drop the bomb Call the mob Stock our shelves Grow the letters Feed all those starving tongues Let me tell you a story Once the grim reaper dressed like an old woman and bought denture cream just to know how it feels to grow old A human is an animal Some think an olive is a fruit A dog is a wolf on the inside Begging to learn the trick Speak Next in line most wait for straight prose pinch their noses misguided Want blood to bleed red Don't want ideas to smash their bread Won't save their minds from a punch in the gut Mine closing in their faces and their Atlantic drowns shattered glass encasing words upon words owned by streams of Consciousness running all around Those nonsense words running aground can't swim though all the world's frowns.

So there was this boy He somehow kinda managed to steal my heart Without even trying He intrigued me I began observing and seeing more than he let on And slowly but surely, the compassion grew Along with the lust, desire and craving of all things him. It's been a couple of months now And I lay here in bed thinking about how dumb I am to have let it get this bad How could you let someone control you So sneakily Without even needing the puppet strings All it took was the touch of his skin against mine, the smiles, the glances That's all it took for my chest to burn a fire so bright Melting my heart And I was a goner. Now the chase is over You know how I feel And you're waiting for me to beg for more Act needy? I think not I see how this will end. Though the clouds are still grey The rain spitting And the storm rumbling There is ALWAYS A rainbow And a sunny day that awaits So keep your chin up, little girl And wear your pride on your chest Bc this bullshitting ******* Is no different from the rest

The chase
D’evils Devils amongst us, painted in a glisten, dipped in gold. And thus, if to them, you truly listen, thou shan’t make it to old. A patter of steps, trailing, lurking, never rest. For if guard is lost, with her eyes, you will get undressed. A slither of a tongue, a caress or two, scrounging around for what it is, that weakens you. May it be ambition, may it be vanity. The appearance of it, a delusion, for something so innocent, could wield your sanity. Like a fisherman in calm waters, peering about into the blue sea, an encounter, lies a test for thee, beautiful it is, promises empty as hollow. Peer closer he does, a goner he may, in the waters he is swallowed. For she lured and prevailed it be, beauty is no longer hailed, as to him, it and the devil, are now a simile. D’evils.
