Diminutive in frame and stature defines him not, but instead enhances the brilliance of his smile’s shine. The golden flakes of honesty in his warm brown eyes covey one vice that is captivation. They hold hostage your most destructive thoughts to instantaneously replace them with the best; of joy, contentment, and love-the best of him. His high cheek bones define a mouth so perfectly constructed. They rise and fall like oceans’ waves with every gentle gesture. He thinks of love as a pool of chances and illogically he dives into the hurt he’s found himself in once twice, no wait, three times. But still, he never falters to give “chance” just one more chance to prove he’s done what’s right. Secondary comes his needs, in light of someone else’s. The thoughts, “too tired” or “too busy” does nothing for him because if someone needs help, you help them undoubtedly. I  have seen the coat that once cascaded on his back give warmth to one who had no coat or smile or joy or light. And for that one he lowered his head to ask God for a favor. I met this guy, this “perfect” guy when innocence consumed me and since that day we’ve been each other’s confidant and comforter. My love towards him supersedes that of a friend or the best of that. The truest thing I know is that when everyone one else disappears to the mundane norms of life, he will be there with me to cut through the silence with rolls of laughter. At what? It does not matter. Because when I’m with him and he’s with me there is a “we” that is formed and that “we” is captivates me An infinite truth is that I will never stop loving this young man. He keeps my heartbeat steady so I must exclaim the best of joy, contentment, and love-the best of him.

A calm and cool breeze Passes through the leaves of the trees, Persuading the branches to sway, Like algae in a turbulent sea. Without a cloud in the pale blue Arizona sky, The sun radiates down-- hot and glaring. It reflects off the shiny paint of the cars around me, Illuminates the brown mountains in the distance. And magnified through the thick lenses of my glasses, It blinds my sensitive eyes. The surrounding sempiternal desert Is so clear and sharp, That no one nor nothing can hide (With the exception of the beings who can blend, And despite my tiring efforts, I am not one of them.) The nearest Creosote bush Eminates of the smell of water, As it passes through a hose. I am instantly transported back home Where sand is replaced by grass and plants That require regular watering to survive. When I close my eyes I can see The illusion of a waterfall, created by the uncoiling hose As it ejects tepid water for us to traverse. But upon unveiling my windows, I allow the sandy landscape to penetrate into my soul And I am brought back to the present Where life subsists, illogically, Through a dearth of water, and inordinate sun.

The Desert
Sooooo maybe I got Unreasonably angry. Maybe I got illogically riled. And maybe I let my childish emotions Get the better of me And I ran with them, rampant and free. How does one find The balance in life Of feeling but not feeling too much? Of not pendulum swinging From uncontrollable loathing To indescribable bliss Or inexorably blithe? To feel but only to feel enough! To be but only to be just right! Never too little and yet not too much! Finding the balance is every man's plight.

Feeling Too Much
If I had an apple i would have eaten it with her, sitting close by, looking eye to eye, under the umbrella shade of a tree, near a corn field, with the view of a lone hill, at the far, far end. An ****** experience it would have been for us, turned on by her eyes a bite I would take from the apple, then, it's her turn as soon as she does that I would ****** it from her, once again, tasting her saliva on it would electrify my tongue, and evoke distant animal past. Green corns sway desirous in the playful naughtiness of the wind, slowly proximity works, as the worst intoxicant. By and by nature's prompt, gets in to our blood streams. She would get bold, sensing that lonely spot's intent, slowly remove her jacket first then one by one, the rest, standing before me naked, sensuality  personified. *I am an illogically crazy wind, swooping, over the water: her. I'd repeatedly blow over her, till she uncontrollably erupts* she has eaten from my apple, I've tasted hers; without deceit or evil, we indulge, and partake the gifts we within hold.

I am sorry for your pain but I am not the cause and seeing how you've treated me I think I know what was Dishonest in your ranting as you're girlfriend and not wife no wonder why he shies away from unrelenting strife Accusing without evidence eschewing private mail you castigate me publicly as illogically you rail Behaving with much cruelty demonstrating zero class you couldn't solve a mystery if it bit you in the *** 18 Jun 2015

He was robotic Devoid of human emotion Illogically logical to a fault was his cover He never really said where he was coming from The blanket of positivity he engulfed himself in, was truly a layer of ******** He could be so sweet when hugging and kissing Giving so much pleasure with his mouth when it was quiet but busy His words were daggers in my heart and my mind Fingers trained to please at certain, very specific times. Body turned to ice. Impenetrable walls. Hiding in his cave. Hiding in his logic. Hiding in his work. Hiding - in how things needed to be, for him. Communication, smashing my head against the brick wall of his empty chest. A Goddess - sitting right in front of him All her love to give. He had none for himself, hence, none for her. He made her think she was crazy. Unconstant boundaries of steel. You wasted my time. I was falling for you, again. Hardest rejection. Text, false words, internet. You're not a real person, You're a robot with a small ***** So damaged, beyond repair. No compassion, no understanding. Hot, Cold, Frozen. Barred gates. "You're an ******* So far away. Goodbye for the second time. Never resolved. I still want to understand.

Logic
After, a long drawn out burning kiss that opened a never healing wound she leaves for the secret rendezvous in a verdant oasis in a distant desert. He didn't hear about her even after light years, remembrance of that kept on haunting him, for reasons he wanted to find, he burned and burned. On a full moon night after million years, searching in the desert, long hours sweating and tired like a haunted animal he found a magnificent Spinx,felt connected fell for that feminine allure, curved hips hypnotic eyes of a hermaphrodite,swell of ******* that illogically prompted him to caress, towering high at the end of an oasis, wasn't it  a construct of desire? he stood, feverishly desiring those pouting lips, the moment next, missed the one inflicted wound, in a pit inside  forbidden longings erupt when speaking  language of desire, poisoned fruits too taste dark poetry, nature flows to  symmetry "No man or woman, loved me like that" a whisper, then a hiss, in passion proclaims there she was his one time lover, cheat, deserter of his spirit's mating call, still he isn't free from delusions, she abandoned him for another, in that too wasn't sure yet another of her misadventure, does she repent? "I didn't want to miss you like this" she says "you mistook that I was in love with her, him or whatever" entanglements, there were from the word go, her eyes , he observed were sapphires, her bleached white bones, were irresistible, totems he wanted to preserve it in the museum in Cairo her being grew in to him like an oasis in a desert, a weary, insane, traveler reaches just in time for the final peaceful hour before all resolve. "Are you insane, what makes you do this again" a voice asked, another million years would pass without any solace, the sphinx, so magnificent then would be just a sand dune ! They hand in hand, would be walking over it, that sweet oblivion would remain, birth after birth.

I'm asking questions like im socrates and of course the answers aren't a shock to me I'm asking for solidity but not a single thing in this life has rigidity It all don't mean nil to me, it's foolish to be caught up in this world you'll see the world is dying, all will pass away, we have not forever, we may not have a day we are just a wisp, a vapor, the fading sound of a once struck chord even i am only shattered metaphors pieces of paper fluttering and torn i hear their inky voices as they mutter and they mourn there is near to nothing left of me anymore i am only broken bits of poetry smashed and spit on paper I am only sickly similes, a sadly spoken satire like wandering ghosts of memories and meaningless dreams like meaningless hopes and desperate screams it seems like things have taken a turn for the worse and i may soon end up in a homemade handwritten paper hearse strangled by my verses flayed alive by words then left to wander wordless my meaningless words have begun to haunt me, daunt me, it's daunting and this is not me I am not some needy scrap of paper waiting to be filled I am a notebook half-filled with half-finished lines of half-realities I am a dying man screaming at the top of my lungs as they are shattering as i am torn apart by the desires of my own heart It falls apart as i metaphysically massacre me I blatantly snip apart the seams of sanity and reality-what little few are left in me i **** with words that flow from my pen and then I write for them revival but my pen is low on ink and i think it's suicidal It'll be a kamikaze even if i choose denial and i don't know much but i know it's a vicious cycle I dont know when it will choose to think it's own end into existence will it be, maybe perfectly timed to persuade me,maybe illogically, with all reason simply lost to me that it chose to spit a little extra blood a little extra ink that it chose to save me from the next line i might make just think, it might be more than i could take it might break me, make me, mistakenly the master of my own fate This is death by poetry rebirth by verse If i write poetry again, will it be reversed? not a revolution or evolution but humanity in words this is death by poetry

i read your poems, but i can't read you. what's the point? other boys, they call me pretty- well, sometimes they do. but still, other boys, they touch my hand, they like my hair, they think i'm funny. but they're not you, and that rips me up. the boy who once said i'm not his type doesn't think you are good for me. but he doesn't know you. he doesn't know your pretty folded inside out folded right side out, folded into the pit of my stomach, giving me butterflies. oh, my god, i think this is what love feels like when you’re stuck on the rewind of a cassette tape, because the player doesn’t auto-stop, and you don't feel like getting up, so the tape snaps or tangles or knots. either way it can’t be the same ******* song, it sounds too different to be. warbled. but the beat is the same. it starts off slow then speeds up as the eyes get bluer and her cheeks get warmer. tha. thump. tha. thump. tha thump. tha thump. thathumpthathumpthathump. if you love me, baby, just say so. because i’m so brand new, i’m so full of darkness. you’re so ruggedly smooth, so full of lightning. i’m so brand new, that i can’t read you like your poems. i’m so full of darkness, that i can’t feel loved anymore. but, baby, baby, bubby. i could love you like a poem. i’ll be the body electric. (i love as hard as a whitman) i’ll be the master, the dream, the fool. (i love as illogically as a kipling) i’ll be immortal. (i’ll love as sweetly as a dickinson) i’ll be everything you’ve ever read about and wanted, if you’d just come clean. so if you love me if you love me come clean.

No, I don't want to write a sonnet; to self-lock in an octave only clasping a rusty key -volta- leading to another office cubicle efficiently labelled sestet for its six undone quotas waiting coolly for my calculating. I want to untuck my shirt, Whitman; to unleash words to gather at seams then tear them open like bursting blood cells crowding out of a wound. I do not want to fit flesh into a 'perfect' Barbie membrane, let me stretch the skin taut as sheets so I can feel the redness and gouge underneath. Clarity glazed the Classical sonata opaque; staves of controlled fantasy so imaginable, like an illogically round orange, sliced in concaves fat with pulp, each ripeness methodically connected by thin breath threads. This is why we have madness, need it; bless the ****** of brilliance in Beethoven symphonies, the metallic muscling of Ginsberg verses, electronic with strange beauty, holy and unholy, every ****** mess in between The heart can't suffice by merely inhaling glitter; I can't dare remember the sane pretty sighing of a Petrarchan uttering; canned love, a predictable malaise packaged neatly in a bland tome, most likely beige, with the fashionable odor of bookish age And so, serif-writing sweetheart please don't ask me to write a sonnet. too comfortable to tuck my shirt in, I won't touch I won't touch I won't touch

I Won't Touch
- on the prompt "Falling in Love (more than once)" I thought about this prompt you gave me. A girl on a train, I had fallen in love with, Silhouette of her hair border lining the darkness of eventide towards Bangalore. We met in a ground a year later, no intermittent contact held, like quantum-entangled electrons do, dumbfounded how it'd happened. And again on the road in Bangalore three years later.

Sifting Through the Earth's Core
- on the prompt "Falling in Love (more than once)" I thought about this prompt you gave me. A girl on a train, I had fallen in love with, Silhouette of her hair border lining the darkness of eventide towards Bangalore. We met in a ground a year later, no intermittent contact held, like quantum-entangled electrons do, dumbfounded how it'd happened. And again on the road in Bangalore three years later. A direct line to the eye's sight, first time, under a morning seeming streetlight. A latch bolded in the color of the eyes, I longed to deep dive in. Words finding silence at the wrong time, so they resorted to not all things and happenings having reasons and fear of consoling a needy in a fear of an upside down going failure. And like between life and death are only breaths, the silence between the sentences was filled with ours and death by chocolate, and thoughts of silences of the other's mind, unheard of, aware only of an unbeknownst wind of familiarity of an unknown kind. I had fallen in love multiple times, which is to say I'd sifted through the earth to the other side and started rising, from it, in it. Following down the gushes of time sinking and rising sensations of guilty pleasures in the chest, insinuating that the thing of beauty is a joy forever but only when not possessed.                            ********* There's an old man, my mother's father not loved by anyone, angry all the time illogically unnecessarily hurting others, drunk trashing long hair and glasses, rusted in the smell of decay.

I have said “I forgive you” 490 times. You asked me if I knew I was a dumb **** One. You told me it was my fault he left. Seven. The numbers are lost on me after that But they follow, illogically, a logical progression Like the patterns formed by the spaces in-between Words, trickling down past what is happening. The plot is unknown, at times even random, but the spaces are most certainly predetermined. At 490, the count resets to zero.

So if I kiss a man I am undeniably   straight. Yet if I kiss a woman I am incomprehensively gay. And thus if I kiss a man it's a beautiful thing. But yet if I kiss a woman, then it's a beautiful sin. It's obvious that I'm apparently different. But people are just so seemingly ignorant. I live in a world where general acceptance is hard. Thus so for me opening the doors that society has barred. Learning to evolve in life is never easy. But I am human and entitled to equality. Therefore when you look at me please think logically. For I am nor a stranger or a child gone crazy. I am a human and refuse to be used and ignored. I deserve to be treated like the girl I am and was before. An independent, normal, loved and accepted one. Acting like myself without being rejected and reduced to none. For if I am gay,  I am illogically  normal. Yet if I am straight, I am undeniably  normal. And If I am bi or transexual, I am irregularly normal. Yet I am human, So thus I AM NORMAL.

Yes, this is another poem about **** Sorry, I know you’re exhausted from hearing them. Sorry, I know it makes you uncomfortable. **** There I go apologizing again. Ok. Reframe. Start over. Own it. This is a poem about **** and you better ******* listen. Ok too harsh, too harsh. They’re not gonna listen now. Again. Ok, uhh... personal story. One time my best friend and I were ***** by the same person. Ok wait, no... too personal. They’ll just pity me, instead of seeing the larger issue. Ok, I think I finally got it. To give you an idea of the numbers, all of my friends and I have been victims of  ****** assault. Great, perfect, not too personal, we can talk about it in the abstract like nothing terrible happened to me, specifically. That’s it. That’s it. That’s how we can talk about. Depersonalized, Submerging our feelings with facts. Statistics are our best friend. So here it goes: Did you know false reports of ****** assault are rare, ranging from 2 to 10% of all reported ****** assaults. That the percentage I just quoted was from a study that collected data over 10 years from reports on a college campus, after determining in a meta-analysis of 20 other studies on false reporting that the FBI data used was "unreliable." Conversely, about 63% of ****** assaults go unreported. Wouldn't it make sense to air on the side of believing women then? As opposed to casually insinuating they could have ulterior motives reporting ****** assault, political or otherwise. That isn't an argument. That is fear talking. That is guilt talking. That isn’t us having a conversation – that’s just you blabbering illogically, crippled by the fear you’ll be next. You are wrong. You are wrong! Your arguments are baseless. You are completely ignoring the facts. There is no evidence. You need to stop talking, and politely listen. Because you have a lot to learn. And while we are not obligated, many of us are willing to teach you: The only ulterior motive women have 'outing' people, for a CRIME they committed, the only benefit, is to make sure the person responsible doesn't **** someone else. And you not believing us, you chastising us, you rolling your eyes, you silencing us, lets that person walk free.

*There’s a difference between what something is and what we think it is. Rather, there’s a difference between the idea that anything is and the awareness that everything is illusory. It sounds abstract and impractical, but it’s a truth that runs steady through the things that seem to matter most to us: we don’t get over someone just because they’re gone, we get over them when we get over the illusion that we still have to grieve. We don’t wake up one day and start loving ourselves, we start realizing that the reasons we didn’t were false beliefs illogically held. We compare ourselves to others to craft these ideas, we narrate our lives through the minds of others because the illusion of their perception, when we create it in our minds, is one we can control. Imaginary things are easier to see because they don’t need to be in front of us for us to believe in them. They always exist. They’re always there to comfort us and let us live the lives we imagine we want. But that’s the problem: when the illusion isn’t the truth, the two collide eventually. The illusion just limits us. Until the letting go leaves us in the illusion of nothingness. And so we create another one. The intangible things that are present in our lives are the things we don’t think we can go on without. The illusions we have to live with so we can go on with living. We eventually realize that all things are myriads of expressions of distorted ideas, and that all things are the simple alignment of the illusions we perceive and how the world reflects them back to us. That happiness always came from getting the things we thought the illusion would like, and that unhappiness was realizing that receiving them filled the void and then we crafted another illusion to replace it. All unlasting, false things are products of this, and the only way to transcend them is to simply be aware. The greatest secret of life is realizing that these things aren’t part of us. They aren’t natural. As easily as we created our illusions we can get rid of them, we just have to be aware that they are just that. Ideas. If you don’t, you end up living in the illusion that others have created for you. And you’ll call it “reality.”*

so exercise is the logical conclusion. illogically, my matted lack-of-a- shower and my swollen lymph node to the point of painful swallows speak nothing in the way of 'yes' or 'no.' At this point, I'm just lonely and jealous of the worlds 'okay,' and can't be bothered with little touchies like- oh, perhaps she meant it? we meant it, by any measure. concussive doubts rain on my soul like laughter, intention; lymph node aches as I chew. time to call a doctor. time to call a dr.

Moments ago it was cool breezy fall day when the sky filled with birds escaping. How did they know in advance? As I scratch this itch that won’t go away, patches of hairy skin peel off to fall between my fingers and plummet to the ground. I imagine this should be more painful. Digging fingernails in deep to the bone. Illogically overwhelmed by this itch which remains my hard focus. My bone now exposed to the environment. In shock I touch my head to feel strong warm confident skull. Single tear of blood from my head. Single tear of blood from my eye. Why isn't there more? I must be melting from the top down. Made it to the edge of the thermal radiation zone by the time the tires of my car started slowly melting into the bubbling pavement. I crouch low like that will help as if somehow it’s possible to get underneath the toxic layer. This fluctuating world is heat warped. Hopefully my eyeballs don’t evaporate. The sun hides behind acidic thundering clouds of earth above. Now almost as dark as night with a full moon. A dull mangled orange has ripped out all of life’s shadows. My dogs eyes wickedly glow through the haze as he stares out at what I assume to be a better day.

Strange Daze
It's apparently an oddity A strange thought to be Capable of flight - of mental invincibility Life awarded to those 'fortunate' enough to win the lottery. Put down the mental shotty Imagining brains displayed sloppily Doing things naughtily Sickening debauchery. With your eyes, can you see? Or still blinded by your hate-filled ideology? Imaginary substances manifesting at your fingertips, illogically? Swinging, pulling, pushing, prodding, don't you miss your family? Pleading cries, misty eyes just push you into ecstasy Dear God, just get away from me Hard to believe we're of the same blood, house stench of rotten memories Same blood you want to spill. Indefinitely. I think mother is starting to burn, put her in the oven lovingly? Water over flowing, brother drowning - turned the faucet peacefully? Little Kacey's stomach not pumping, smothering with a sense of superiority? You belong in a mental institute, just get the hell away from me! You killed my brother, took my mother, murdered my sister happily Killing me next will give you a feeling truly satisfactory! Father isn't your name, you're a mother ******* demon, knowingly! No, it's too late. Nothing can save me now, God has abandoned me surely. You satisfied yet, you ******* sicko? For you, this is mandatory We were once a happy family, father and son, but this is the end of the story. A comedy, drama, horror. The story became a tragedy. It just ***** that this couldn't end fantastically...
