"gough" poems
Head held high, flexing the shell bright lifestyle, I know it too well. It’s a tall tale to tell but its best that you know that things get better at the end of the road Not too long ago, I felt the same way I dealt with demons that crept in the grey And maybe it’s hard enough to ask for help but it’s harder to watch yourself give up once you’ve left the shelf Nah, I couldn’t stomach the pain like a trumpet, I blew the in out of sane. I popped open a vein to paint my blues, violet and threw a pair of cans on to block out the silence. I’m not defiant; I defy any tyrant that tries to buy my compliance. I ride with the giants, stride like Midas minus the greed, all I need is kindness. Spread your wings; shed the ego live amid the kings like a needle. Be your own hero, succeed the sequel take charge, zero in on the easel. Reach for the stars, you are an artist Van Gough goals; erase all the hardships. I may try my hardest but I’m not the smartest but good work ethic leads to a harvest. Reap my carcass, long after I’m gone, brains over brawn, shame on you all for thinking that these walls can hold me in. You get the memo? I’m better than I’ve ever been. Binge drinking is a sickness in itself ***try to **** the pain but the pain kills the help*** as well as low thinking it will **** your brain cells ***if you try to **** the pain, you will **** yourself*** © Matthew Harlovic

Work Ethic
Crafted like a diamond with the hands of the greats Van Gough, Da Vinci put together like Cubism with the vision of Picasso A mind like Shakespeare, Dickens Intelligent like Artificial Intelligence Envisioned by God A perfect being and made into the best, the most perfect person Made by perfection into perfection

Made perfect
it's all good, Van Gough reprints on the walls, tact in, type writer on the carpet floor, a boxelder bug hides in between 'U' & 'I' I've got a dollar in my wallet, hair on my face, and the dog waits at the door for me to be wild, the room is cold, the heater is off, the electrician is drunk, i hand him a bottle of wine, we end up painting the walls, with the left over blue buckets of paint in the basement, "now it's like we're in heaven" the bellyed drunk brown eyed electrician, his hands face hair clothes covered in paint, "now you are heaven" and we laugh, lighting cigarettes that taste like women, and the Television screen is cracked and leaks out Volume 3 News some how we are free at this moment in time, when the color of the walls are pointless, when the television screen says nothing, when the bathtub is broken, and the water pipes whine, and the mind is fairly crazy, fairly drunk, fairly mad, but it's all good, because rent is paid, and the world's fist is taunting me, to see how long i can go without eating, and how fast i can create.

it's all good
The love bug A venomous bat here to **** away all of what I know a ****** of all hopes here to **** away all of what I desire I remember her teeth clenched onto my neck and ripping off my skin here to **** away all of who I am is there anything more insane than love? now this infection is spreading throughout my entire body! everything that I saw as real has been ****** away from me. now my mind is transforming, all I can think of is, "what am I willing to do to earn your affection?" I am willing to top Van Gough I'll cut out my heart for you put it on some strings and proudly place it on your petite neck and when I get near, I will finally show you what my insides feel like and when I get near, you will feel the seizure of beats pound against your chest and when I get near, my heart will hit, hack and **** against you and when I get near, you will finally feel what I feel. this is how I will stop the madness, because when I get near I will finally feel what you do, Nothing Nothing Nothing A repeated beat that will fade into beautiful emptiness Nothing Nothing Nothing I will wear a plastic smile Nothing Nothing Nothing I will have a plastic heart Nothing Nothing Nothing Those beats will get to comforting for me I will kiss you desperately to feel those soothing rhythmic beats the beatings we will share Together in unison. For the first time my words will hush and my actions will have a rhythm a steadily increasing pound like a drum-line. there is no way to feel this Fantastic! that ****** of two lips colliding all I have to do is close my eyes and believe the pictures in my head are true. you are my dream girl but my dreams are a virus. reality ****** away from me and because of this I gave you all of me all of what I am all of what I desire all of what I know I hope you continue to wear that necklace and feel my heartbeat thud against your chest Thud, Thud, Thud against your chest, whenever I think of you. So you will finally know how great that music feels on your body. that light percussion of my little drummer will always beat for you Thud, Thud, Thud and I will finally feel what you do, Nothing Nothing Nothing

"Where is my Monet?", I say As I look through the blurred vision of an impressionist day. A double paned view of reality Swaying beauty through eyes once knew. Where is my Monet  or be it Van Gough? All beauty's vision framed newly printed Picasso. Shadow me done, and once never knew What others should have seen as they counted me too. So now, I say no Not of Van Gough nor Monet, I see beauty no Rembrandt nor Picasso to sway. I see a simple little girl with all she will need To see the world lovely and in the midst of all, succeed.

Where Is My Monet
I miss you like maps miss fingers, Like mikes miss singers, Like hells bells miss ringers, Like bringers miss takers, Like ******* miss fakers, Like cakes miss bakers, Like lakes miss boats, Like bad swimmers miss floats, Like politicians miss votes, Like doting parents miss school plays, Like nymphomaniacs miss lays, Like hypochondriacs miss prescriptions, Like ****** misses addictions, Like carpets miss friction, Like Billy Bunter misses midnight feasts, Like the grim reaper misses grief, Like Henry misses the good fellas, Like sand sculptures miss umbrellas, Like Rubix cube devotees miss puzzles, Like rabid dogs miss muzzles, Like Van Gough missed his brushes, Like speed freaks miss rushes, Like pens miss paper, Like the Mona Lisa missed Pater, Like the canvas misses the creator, Like the thirsty miss water, Like the hungry miss food, Like ***** miss the lewd, Like the mind misses mood, Like the tides miss the moon, Like the sane miss the loons, Like the dark misses the light, Like the brave miss the fright, Like the kite misses the wind. I miss everything.

You stayed at home
It was 10pm when I decided to leave my apartment there was snow on the ground patchy from the dry cold half winter half sun heat I decided to check the mail I had been drinking three dollar wine for hours staring at old paintings on the wall paintings of kansas paintings of tornadoes paintings of Van Gough I had written a poem on the wall dedicated to the cockroaches and lamp posts of new york city I wrote it in lipstick and spanish I opened the mailbox I felt the moon on my shoulder I saw a shadow that wasn't mine behind a fence it was from Florida a woman I had once fallen in love with with her brown hair curly like that of smoke of a cigarette it read “i miss you” I had decided to die right there with the half melted snow the half grown grass that was green and brown the cigarette butts the broken glass with the moon still on my shoulder a thousand miles behind winters blanket of clouds I decided to die there lighting a cigarette wet from my lips I lied down with the orange letter in my hand with the orange cigarette lightbug in my mouth smoke dancing out like Amazonian women in heat I pictured swamps I pictured the city on fire I pictured her naked in my hands giving her self up to me letting me have her lips and her legs and her stomach and her love in the distant behind the city buildings ears and belly button lint and sirens and swing music and the flickering of beer bottle caps and the burning of tobacco from lips to tongue to throat to lung then back out in a ball of stretched smoke headed only to the clouds up above which angels and the moon slept behind It would have been good to die there the ground felt good I thought of Texas rivers cow skulls on top of lamps I thought of Mother and her rose bottled liquor I hought of Father and his eyes that were enormous with poverty and Tommy Hilfiger sweaters I thought of Her alone in florida full of sun full of days and full of nights I thought of Death and how he must envy me I smoke cigarettes to make it easy on him he knows I wont go without a fight without spit in his hollow eye without my blood on his fur coat when he comes in winter on a horse or a Cadillac from the 1930's I thought of many brave men drinking their hearts their bellies their eyesockets to sleep with Tall bottles of gloriously cheap whiskey I thought of war and I thought of lighting another cigarette but it was cold and I decided to go inside with my windows with my Van Gogh paintings with my blind cat who purred at the dishwasher

Last Night I dreamt As most often do It was so very vivid I could've sworn it was true I sat up and gazed around At the morning in my home A little voice whispered in my head I was not alone So I laid back down I took a deep breath and then Closed my eyes to think back To the Dream and where I'd been I sat alone with Van Gough So I could watch him paint His life splashed upon the canvas So he could forget his pain The world seemed to disappear As he he sat with a brush in his hand He wasn't called mad by a world That refused to understand I stood beside Hemingway With a strong drink in my hand He told me stories of his life Of war, women and Cuban Land A large smile sat on his face As he spoke and forgot about his strife I drank his scotch and thought Could I be as great in my life I laid beside Elizabeth Short And I watched her as she lay I heard her speak of fame and stardom And that she would know it one day With stars in her eyes, she told me Her name would be known far and wide And it pained me to know That she'd be known for only the way she died Then I sat back and gazed upon all three With which I had shared my time I took their words to heart And stashed them within my mind I could be like Van Gough And focus my pain and fear onto the page My blood is ink and I can wield it Like some unholy Mage I could be great like Hemingway Forever destined to destroy myself I could hit the top of the pile And drown out the future with top shelf I can be like The Dahlia Forever dreaming of the day I'll be known Chasing fame until the end When my final fate is finally bestowed

i am on a bus and i am sitting next to a girl i haven't sat next to in a very long time. we used to listen to taylor swift and now we are listening to poetry that makes us cry. i am so much happier than i have been because i am looking at art and i feel like maybe, if i try hard enough, i can become art. the colors remind me of my old bedroom and they remind me of my old best friend. she was in the hospital last month, because she overdosed. i promised her once that we could talk about our end, but we never did. i wonder if she ever thinks about me. it is one am and it is raining and i am wishing that he would paint my portrait to keep in his pocket, to immortalize in a frame that is prettier than i ever hope to be, on a wall next to painstakingly created flowers that hold more emotion than i will ever feel. the moon has a special hold on poets, but all it is doing tonight is making me wonder why my hands don't pull angels from stone and beauty from destruction. i am wondering if i am still alive, if any of these people are still alive, and if the dead feel good about themselves. i am wondering why i feel so different than i did last year. maybe it's the dress and the notebook and the quiet steps i take because i don't want to disturb the art, or staring long enough at a stranger that i can pretend to know his story, and that he wears his father's watch. i am on the bus and she thinks i am less sad because she is less sad. but when i look at all the art the first thing i feel is jealous, which is really the same thing as being sad. i want to spend forever in the glass rooms but i don't deserve to, because i am so selfish. i think that if i look at monet and picasso and van gough for long enough i will absorb them, but i also want to walk past them, to the pieces whose plaques contain only a lifespan, with no detailed description of the reasoning behind the use of numbers hidden in the abstract. (picasso put them in so he could stay in touch with reality.) i think that maybe that's why i am doing so much better in math this year. i just want to stay in touch with reality. because i have been staring at "evening mood" for half an hour and all i feel is sad, because after the sunset there is nothing but darkness and that's what the night brings and it's what thoughts of you bring too. it is called sandstorm but it makes me think only of the sea. i think i need to get away from here for a while.  maybe i will go to the sea. i haven't been on a bus in a long time, but here i am. i spent the day as something i have always wanted to be. we haven't talked in a month but she still thinks i am beautiful. why am i crying?

john next door
Thinking that someone loves you is better than nothing, but what people don't realize is that it was all pokes at jokes and I bet he smokes, or knows I do and doesn't like the smell, or the way I breathe out, or how the rings come from my mouth and are never on my fingers. And I have paper cuts on those same fingers that want to be in your hair, and your body, (all of it), and I hope you want them there, because that's exactly where they'll be if we ever meet. The dirt buried in my prints will leave marks on you like a million hands and feet, drenched in paint and smeared over your temple. I bet you don't care what I look like, or that I have a Van Gough pin, or that people like to write my name. I'm glad you like to listen, and that you're smooth with words, so I can fall asleep to the sound of your golden text. I never thought I would like an arial view, or that I would fall in love with strings of it all laced together into a perfect fabric, (or web). I hope that you're not allergic to sound, or jelly beans, because I want to see you cry and smile at the same time.

Pints Among Pounds
Do you want to sketch all your life Or learn to paint a master piece? Do we not sketch to learn, to develop, to grow? So why do you still sketch? What more do you hope to learn? That people are vulnerable? That you can hurt them? That you can leave them?   Are you not tired of sketching outlines? Don't you long for tonal quality? For careful composition and a considered pallet? I know your secret! That the canvas scares you, terrifies you even. All that you will be revealed on that unforgiving scape. That expanse of white which must be filled and not by charcoal and line. You will be revealed, exposed and displayed for all to see. You will be revealed in the shading, In the sensitivity you give to light and to contrast. Yes, you will be revealed... But in it you will be filled in.   You will have no freedom to remain as an outline of a man, With all hidden in fine graphite lines and hastily hatched shadow. You will have to mature as a man, as an artist of the soul And set yourself free on a canvas with confidence and brush! What a liberation! Will the first canvas be a masterpiece? In all likelihood no! But it will be a beginning And how can you consider yourself an artist if you never paint! How many sunflowers did Van Gough paint? How many chapels? Was he satisfied with any of them? And was each of them worthwhile? Paint my friend, take up your brush and paint. Use colour boldly, Reserve fear and reservation for other pursuits Or better still leave them from your pallet altogether. Be sensitive and subtle with your treatment of the subject, frame her well, carefully But be bold. There is little point in holding back. Do you want your canvas to scream, "Hesitation!"? Paint or don't, but if you choose not to, declare it to the world! Do not act like a painter, talk like a painter and look like a painter, If you do not paint! Declare "I like to sketch" And sketch until you bear no longer to leave a subject unexplored in a monochromatic if artistic hiatus. Be true, be bold, be clear and when you feel the time is right paint with the same honesty and boldness with which you sketched. Then it will be a true training, Not the pontification a of a trainee conjurer working above his station. Complete your apprenticeship, graduate, And step forth into the world. Confident, upright, paint brush in hand.

Suicide
this is what it looks like to me. a queer white picket fence this is what I believe it to be. the sun shown through the trees and rays landed, thusly on the particles that dusted the front porch. begging us to take a picture, that would eventually be given the title of "dad vibes." and the cats are staring at us through the domestic screens on the windows, and I swear that I heard one them gossiping...about us. you make vibrate. it's like aorta telepathy. something must be wrong with me. I swear, I've never seen a more unlikely pair. we have the same nickname, I think that is SO ******* cute. and yes, let us pillow talk about road tripping, to see van gough's bedroom. and HERE, I lie with you... looking up at the ceiling. surround by four walls of warmth. canary yellow is something I've been obsessed with lately. it's something I see in my dreams. a colour that blesses my soul with the ability to imagine something as serious as serious as a ***** balloon popping contest. and as hilarious as the way, I look when I'm pacing my way through my to-do lists. i know, that it is spring break, but a diet of coffee and "ciggies" may have contributed to our lack of sleep or maybe it's the four days we spend in bed. then when you asked me to sit on your face, i knew this to be true. I'd never want to bid you adieu if, at some point in my lifetime, my soul could copulate with yours. if I could beg you to make more noise. I'm sorry I'm so quite between these sheets. I notice these things and FIND them to be true. I left my boxer briefs in your dresser. my ripe gift is to be left for a worthy soul like you.

I notice these things and FIND them to be true. I left my boxer briefs in your dresser. my ripe gift is to be left for a worthy soul like you.

The irony in this situation is overwhelming. Night after night, I lay awake, Remembering a time when I wasn’t contained in this wretched Asylum. When I could look to the sky and see the stars, When only I had control over my thought and actions. My memories of the outside keep me sane, This is where the irony comes into play… I remember the dark skies, Illuminated by the vivid stars, Making meanings lucid and showing past wrongs. I’ll inevitably be here for quite awhile. So all I have is the sudden flashbacks, More than welcome in my lonely mind. To motivate my escape, I think of the peaceful world, In the dead of night, The soft glow shinning over the town’s sleeping inhabitants. All of this will remind me why I need to get back on the outside, All of this will keep me sane.

Homage to Van Gough: “The Starry Night”
I don’t love you like a woman typically loves a man, With mushy words and hearts and fireworks. I love you like the ocean crashes onto the shore. Or how Spring melts the snow with its warmth. I love you in a way, that a child loves their childhood toy, Unconditionally without cause, simply because I can. My love for you isn’t black and white, I love you more with shades of gray. I love you with heartfelt immaturity, like a teenager In love for the first time, finding any reason to fall head Over heels again, and again, Because you make me feel like I’m walking on clouds, Feeling giddy about falling for you, everyday, over again For the rest of my life. I love you like paper soaks up ink from the pen, Uncontrollable and hungry for more words to be, Written of infatuation and adoration. I love you, like the dots go above the i’s, And the lines go through the t’s, Or how a period at the end of strewn together words, Somehow makes it a sentence. I love you the way, the Sistine Chapel was painted, With slow broad strokes, and the patience of a steady hand. I paint you with words, the way Michaelangelo, Van Gough, and Picasso painted the world; With beauty, undying love, devotion and truth. And because I know of no other way to love you, than this, You will always be a beautiful masterpiece, That I was more than lucky enough to find, Along the way through my journey of life. And I promise to never repaint you, Or tarnish your frame, But to love you the way you were made, Priceless Perfection...

I miss you like maps miss fingers, Like mikes miss singers, Like bells miss ringers, Like cakes miss bakers, Like lakes miss boats, Like bad swimmers miss floats, Like politicians miss votes, Like doting parents miss school plays, Like nymphomaniacs miss lays, Like necrophiliacs miss graves, Like hypochondriacs miss prescriptions, Like ****** misses addictions, Like carpets miss friction, Like Billy Bunter misses midnight feasts, Like the grim reaper misses grief, Like Henry misses the goodfellas, Like sand sculptures miss umbrellas, Like Rubix cube devotees miss puzzles, Like rabid dogs miss muzzles, Like Van Gough missed his brushes, Like speed freaks miss rushes, Like pens miss paper, Like the Mona Lisa missed Pater, Like the canvas misses the creator, Like how the thirsty miss water, Like the hungry miss food, Like ***** miss the lewd, Like the mind misses mood, Like the tides miss the moon, Like the sane miss the loons, Like the dark misses the light, Like the brave miss the fright, Like the kite misses the wind. Like a phone misses a ring Like every misses thing.

Miss
The Crack in My Voice the one held by structure and poise the one held by sincerity yet worry the one held by the thoughts of you and I together The Late Night Deep Breathe the one that got me through my wednesday night anxiety attacks the one that whipped away my tears 5 times in counting the one that carried my suitcase across cities and trains the one that made me finally see you and I together The Van Gough Poster the one which makes me think of better things the one which sees the starry nights to come the one which takes me back to the core of myself the one which creates what is you and I together The Argument We Had On Church Street the one that led me to ignorance the one that made me cry for 2 minutes straight but i haven't cried, even 5 months later thats how i know that everything is real with you and I together

This is Your Fault
You fail to see the beauty inside you, you can't see the person I'm staring at. I am screaming at you and you can't even hear me. I am begging for you to just look in the mirror and see what I see. I see a man, with curly brown almost black hair. A dimple on each cheek, and misplaced freckles that make your face like a painting from van gough. I see the poems thought up inside your head, just not being able to write them down because you don't want the criticism. I see a ten year old boy, living with his best friend at the time cause his mom was an addict and his dad was a drunk. I see a boy with sad eyes crying because he doesn't feel loved from the world surrounding him. I see a boy yelling and cursing at his parents for bringing him into this unfaithful world, crying out for attention that he thinks he doesn't deserve. But now, I see a man who is stronger than his demons.

Stronger Than His Demons
How would that be for you and me. How would that go off between you and me. He is out of his mind he talks of, I was thinking of Van Gough, and his paintings and maybe out of my mind but is for me to known and you to find. Take me for what I am, just s surreal dreamer but find what you said or thought Be what you are a latteral thinker.

what if I split an atom.
My drive took me to Malvies Along a rough French road A perfect sight delighted me Natural sun dials stood in rows Fields of velvet brown eyes Looking at the sun Gently swaying in the breeze Halos circled every one Like soldiers to attention In unison with each other The sunflower community Are like sister and like brother Yellow sunshine petals Gold coins in the rough Famously inspired In pictures by Van Gough My hair flowed in the wind Breathing in the freedom Happy faces welcome me inviting me to see them Sun dials follow shadow Sunflowers pursue the sun Gazing up to the sky Absorbing life they've won Inspiration: Malvies is a very small village community near Limoux in the South of France. I spent many Summers there and when in season, the drive takes you through amazing fields of Sunflowers which are a spectacular sight.

Golden Drive To Malvies
I have turned you into my very own masterpiece Is this what you wanted? Traces of my red wine lipstick litter the defined lines and curves of your body My nails leaving raised lines down your back Dark bruises inked into your sun kissed skin Your breath labored, pupils of your emerald eyes blown wide with lust Your neat honey locks completely disheveled Your clothes in a heap on the floor My hands and mouth have explored every inch of you, and carefully sculpted your body into my most prized work I have created something worth more than any Picasso or Van Gough And all it took was a crooked smile and a little whiskey
