"incentive" poems
Endless hours of committed effort, which frequently felt unrecognised and unappreciated. Deep down in your desireful soul, you teased yourself with ambitious day dreams. The incentive of recognition and opportunity, put wind in your talented sails. But now you've got the break, to perform on that mythical stage. The first chance filled spark has ignited, and will hopefully burst into a colourful blazing future. Grasp your chance with your unique determination, seize the opportunity with grit and pride. Achievement is fulfilment, the more you achieve the more you bask in the blissful sunshine of life.

Achievement
I am the breath you exhale That sends dandelion seeds asail. To you, a momentary pleasure, While it gives my life new measure. You've plucked me from home, Blew me into the unknown. I might be a seed under your boot, My existence could seem moot. But next summer, when you've lost incentive In momentary pleasures, no longer attentive, I'll be in full bloom. Pick me up, I'll rebound again soon.

I noticed a while ago. I am subconsciously Objectifying everyone. And when I think about it Objectified people Are easier To deal with. I don't think this odd tendency of mine is Natural. In fact, I'm sure it isn't. It's the result of a subdued conscience. A conscience I always had. I cared deeply for others. I felt bad Cried myself to sleep For the smallest things. An offhand insult I wasn't sure was even heard. A chip taken from the lunch table. An argument to be forgotten and ignored the next day. I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach. I cried Hated myself Continuously hit myself Cried more And had nightmares. As I got older These feelings faded But still I get these pains in the pit of my stomach. And I remember how I was Before I was numbed by Objectification. I saw people as people. I cried because I don't want people to feel bad. Not because of me! I can't think of anything worse Than being that picture on a dartboard That gives the incentive to Never. Miss. To be hated. Even disliked. Thought of as trash As I often am I suspect. Looks of disgust I draw From people I care for Who I don't want to hurt Who constantly hurt me. It tears me apart And as I write this I feel tears welling up Which they haven't done for Years. I began this objectification. "That's just a dumb person." "He's an idiot." "Just one of those mean kids." And I stopped caring if I hurt them Because caring hurts. A lot.

Objectification
Asleep alone I got the light scare Of a nightmare With my plight there Which wouldn't fight fair Awake awaits Chirping is all I hear Dragging life into focus Getting the lens clear To see things are hopeless My aches and pains Are my body's refrain To remind me of existence Despite my mental resistance I am lucid I take my shoelace And loop it To run a new race Timidly trembling The violence in my dreams Matches the silence and screams That defile us and our team Making the nightmares real And the pain I can feel So it's love I steal A devil's deal Hell unsealed I can hear the vultures chirping Or maybe they're just burping Out the demons I ignored My forgiveness they implored To meet a silent scorn Like a muted tribal horn Banishing them to another realm With my ostracism at the helm Until the lonely are overwhelmed And I see the error of my ways Once I'm part of this chaotic haze Practically paralyzed I am lost In this game I've met the boss He and I the same He is a voice Chirping in my ear Saying I have no choice I should give in to fear And just drink beer Until the end is here Carelessly comatose The birds that once sang beautifully Now retreat dutifully When they see my thoughtless anger Turn me into a ruthless stranger Creating danger For those living righteously They start fighting me Trying to enlighten me Which is only exciting me Because I lack the sight to see What the world could be If we could harmonize Like the birds Not using argent lies But soothing words Yet there is no tax exemption For my reluctant redemption So my mind invented No incentive Soul slaughtered The tear jerking Birds chirping Constantly remind me Inside my sleep they find me Thrusting me into a life unwinding Through my window the sun is blinding When I start to fear my brother After seeing mirrors in others Reflecting my attitude Of ingratitude I had a nasty nightmare Of Camp Crystal Lake Filled with misfit flakes Paying for their mistakes With pain and suffering As deep as a submarine Being torn apart For every decision Hiding their heart To avoid incisions And once all these losers are slain The birds chirping start a new day

There is nothing worse than smoking a stoge alone knowing the white paper wrapped around leaves is a Hearse. Dying slowly with a friend feels almost alright but when the smoke billows out at night a locomotive with no incentive you get pensive and wish that cancer would develope dropping you in an early grave. The stench of burning bodies isn't a story with a life lived next to a crematory the sizzle of the cigarette akin to the sound of bacon cooking in the morning. No warning signs from a petered out mind cracked spine causing an acid flash back fluorescent butterflies peek over the guitar strings stinging like beautiful bees while the trees take deep breaths singing "Breathe child...breathe"

Hippie Flip
Say He is desperate to settle down. It's crystal a trick to lure her drown. He thought She was speaking with her heart all along, But She was just singing along the song. A little truth and lies, A little tries and prise. Building up a vivid paradise. He seems patient, Patient to get obsession. Observation to his intention. Kissing with passion, Groping with no hesitation. All nature mating season. Scene like Adam and Eve, Having fun in Eden with full incentive. Both are full of deceptive. Sharing juice of the forbidden fruit. He drink without dispute, Dying to see her attribute. In his baffling blue eyes. Reflection of a perfect goddess. From the pools of lies, Everything look fresh and nice. There the Lilith in disguise, But he is too drunk to realise. Drunk from his own pride and prejudice. And there is when the pleasure dies.

Mummer's Prophesy
Due to popular belief. I believe that certain things are due to happen naturally. Like all other things it's bound to grow. This thing, love. We are due to become obese to this organic, homegrown feeling. The initial look that begins as taste. Naturally we are starved. Aroused by the scent that lures us close. This thing, love. One thing we must learn is self control. To not over indulge in the primary reason it exists. To selfishly take because it's there. This thing, love. Effort exudes as it becomes habit. Being placed at a table readily available for what portion comes next. This need becomes confused with want. To please others before our need in unselfish manner. A straight forward response to habit. The rising availability of also being taken for granted. The insurmountable outline that defines lust. Our intake becomes higher attempting to justify the difference. Thus we become lazy. Reacting in ways we normally wouldn't. This thing, love. This scent acts as incentive,  instantly attracted by which we over indulge. Searching for this thing, love. It's a reasonable thing. Knowing when to reach. When to pull. When to give and sacrifice. Almost always all of these happen, learning self control, vocalizing when we've had our fill. Else we will continue to eat until there is nothing left. Grown obese. This thing, love

This Thing, Love
Stored up enough, but the energy now takes on its own purpose. If only I could draw; I'd create picture books on exactly what the ending looks like. Rough sketches left collecting for many months, before I ever once thought of putting color to them. The why, would be as mind trancing as tracing catch phrases into the many levels of dust accumulated. I'd write something so cliché, like, "With this oily finger I remove the collection of time." or, "With this flesh ensconced utensil, I cut through time." I'll think myself so clever, that I'd forget where I left off, and distract myself again with writing. A small recluse emotion of mine objects viciously, but my attention to every words incentive laced meaning would leave the visual to again rest unchanged, not colored. So's the plight of one who likes to think himself an artist. There's that scandalous narcissist again just waiting to ****** you up, reminding you just how beautiful your words are, and how small in intellect those who don't get it are. Upon that shelf your pictures sit. I can only write as a narrator, because our "philosopher," "philanthropist of word volley, our genius of word play," is once again too caught up in the descriptors to finish the real picture. Not that this idea will stand the test of time, but I do believe more writers will commit suicide, selfishly of course. Oh, the tragedy, the malady of writing so enigmatically that no one gets your "deep soul." While upon that shelf, within a fiber of your overrun writer's ego, there's a drawing begging to be finished, colored, maybe even shared. But just where does it reside? Did the alternate you place it in plain sight, simply so it wouldn't be found? If it's too early it just can't be worth it, can it? He'll have to learn to put down the pen, rid himself of the whiteout, the erasers, set up an easel, squeeze out some paint, and realize there are other mediums where there aren't mistakes, misinterpretations. Only perfect imagery through wispy wrist, sweeping arm, no words, images are now your letter blocks to construct with. Brushes, and all manners of paint your pen. Stop being so foolish "Writer man," if your ego clings too sharply to words, simply remind it, "This could be another pen name." "...I love that idea, what would it be?" "Narcissist Ugly." "So caught up, I forget I'm tethered to nothing, but doubt."

High ground I concede to you in the disproportion of a time allotted to you for the choice of robe to grace a glorified cameo around your flesh like a sheet designated for an overthrowing in an honorary statue's unveiling Liturgy is looming in the bathroom already hot-boxed in the metal waterfall's mist of moisture and the mountain range of bubbles I have settled comfortably into in wait High ground awaits your hallowed prance into the concealed languish of your man's dangling imagination I salute you with incentive through a lowering of eyes made necessary by your towering above my horizontal soak I'm beseeching you to wield royal sway over the humility of my reclined posture with the hidden scepter of your body fated to dictate the pace of my anticipated knighting The gentle thud of fabric on linoleum incites a turning of my head to take in the litany of parts available to my frenetic feels and jumbled focus Stationary in your naked smile of proximity you extend to me excessive time to entertain options as I coat myself in lukewarm opportunities and rise to meet you for a bathing in my excess wetness I accelerate my exit to negate the bubbled tribuataries sliding to the floor to meet the remnants of your mystery The wall is cold and you protrude haplessly to meet the rapid chilling of my undried frame Warmth is of the essence Fingers split your hair in celebration of our uniform heights and I feel you slouch signalling our first hint of friction and a twitch in my diviner of your cradle of essential warmth Do you realize you now rescind creative license? Or have you filled the snare of your intentions? Now your balance shivers in the mercy of my curled leg of leverage and an coiled arm collecting your ambrosial attributes like an ice cream scoop Uniform heights allowing eye contact makes optional the visual acknowledgment of my elastic hunting in the smooth field of your breast with a dancing thumb I connect and latch onto what is now our binding axis and shuffle eye contact with the universal rhythm of a pelvic power ballad

Are your goals incentive To get you through your life Is the end result a good one Can you share it with your wife Is it worth all of the struggling To put up with the muddling Of folks you just abhore Of folks you'd soon ignore Are your children on the sidelines While you work away your years Are they just collateral damage As you work on through your fears Do you ever think you'r losing them That you may just be abusing them Those children there Show them you really care Is it time to take a back seat As you ride upon lifes train Time to hand over the driving Or are you to proud to abstain Do you want to end up all alone Go and throw the dog a bone You're almost there Nobody really cares Take a step and join them They're the ones you should support Give up all the overtime Or you'll end up in court A lonely, hopeless businessman Who always does the best he can All alone There's nobody left at home Share your time with work and family As you make your way along Don't forget to hear the music Don't forget to sing the songs It happens so **** easily You only need to look at me I stepped back After a heart attack Get priorities in order don't forget just how to play Don't put it on a bucket list Go out and start today The earlier you leave the race The longer you'll be in this space Come on...begin The water's fine...now please jump in.

Get priorities in order (kind of Mr. Businessman by Ray Stevens)
We have incentive to collect our fears, replace them with hope in the incoming years. But we tie them off and leave them alone; stash them away in the deepest parts of our bones. Stamp them in blood, or tears we forgot, switch off the trauma and train of our thoughts. The tracks mail letters, to the backs of our minds; a land unknown from the depth of our blinds. I promise you, this ill way of thinking, doesn't solve the problem, nor help it sink in. Someone will find them, somehow deny them, for the points you could've made; and the pain you couldn't take-

Train Tracks
Writing because of procrastination, that is what I am telling myself. Writing because I have no other way to convey emotions, that is what I feel. Writing without a reason, that is what seems like the truth. I am lost again, stuck in a loop of what feels like clarity, into the same self-inflicted confusion. Wishing for the ability to make my words into music, I stare down at my keyboard and try to play. I know I wouldn't put in the effort to learn, but I just want to inspire myself. Maybe by some miracle I can learn what I am doing in time. For now I am mindless, only commands get me moving. Yet if they involve work I often zone out for minutes on end in thoughts that mean nothing. If only I knew all of you reading, if only I hadn't lost touch with the outside world to this mindless cycle that is the internet. Without the internet though, I wouldn't be able to convey my thoughts, all of my friends would be here. Hell, what friends would I have without the only place I can show who I am from so far away? Always introspective, trying my hardest to see what is wrong. People tell me I am fine, but at the same time, I am not content with who I am. I want to be older, stronger, able to do things without aide, and being there for those who need me. I feel unnoticed among my friends, and hailed as above others by my peers. The cycle makes me feel as though my peers think I need encouragement to live, while my friends know I just need the strength to push past it. That, or they don't care enough to ask, your friends are how you are in some ways I suppose. Why am I writing so much if I don't need it to get by, is there some other incentive I am giving myself? Some reward for not doing anything to change is letting me know about it? I think this is just my emotions trying to give my brain a kick-start, but I am tuning out the messages. I don't seem to care about some kind of structure in writing anymore, my care has bled out freezing me to a solid caricature of who I want to be. Do I even want to publish this, and have it be known to people that I am struggling? Whatever the case may be, I'll post it anyway, who really cares at this point?

There I stood In a long hallway Stretching thinly To a lit point Lined with doors Opening as they closed Its prisms transposing Euphoria as it shone Lifting my chest It dragged me breathless Down its stretches As I was reflected In my own projections Of sentients Until innocence Was all there is And that is Where thoughtless Narrative lives Where languidly it gives Wordlessness meaning And that is Where fraughtless Intentions can win Acting replacing thinking Incentive in Zen Awaking and thinking again Was is and gonna be Everything I believe Even while deceived In sets of themes Numeric categories And the tragic stories Of grander things Things of grandeurous dreams That I wring out in the sink While winking The well wishes away In splashes Of graying Paint My hate Is displayed In the mourning Of Mondays And with relatable monotony And some mundane Everything goes back to the same Or at least That's the philosophy

Keep the youth medicated & sedated, then wonder why the literacy rate is doomed to decline. Birth us on a pedestal, then wonder why we have no incentive to climb. Build us from a violent genocide, then wonder why we've got guns pressed under our tongues. Kneel us before the clergy. Strangle us with your rosaries. Brand psalms into our wrists & make laws to control her ovaries. Value groupthink over independent thought & induce aversion to curiosity. Hang us between your revolving doors & shoot nationalism into our veins... Then wonder why we're so addicted to drowning our insides.

Delusion? I exist not as I am: A mirrored image of glamour. Trace back through each reflection Until who I am is but a collection Of women invented With no incentive but to save a man like you. A would be artist lost touch with who Knows what; the scar is Hidden but still you see; Whats wrong with me? Our unspoken debate. I am reaching for myself But glass stops true connection; What if you only want to kiss my reflection?

.oh... hi y'all: or rather - how did i find this in the noun Ohio?       i guess after watching the disaster artist   and no having watched the room... the tetragrammaton is so glaring to me in the English tongue, i might as well be a reincarnation of Belshazzar (but not really... because, to me, reincarnation implies       a fixed number of people... and an mingling of solipsism from philosophy, and NPC from the gaming world... no, i can't believe in reincarnation... saving grace of the Hindus? they're not lactose intolerant; boogie-woogie-boo-woo ooh things are turning, freak-y... why is that a Y and not an E? see... the tetragrammaton is glaring at me... like an ***** protruding phallus with the added "flavor" of a circumcision snippet... me? i'm fine... no snippet...     i can **** off as much as i like and not feel stupid - or catholic, about it, having, in my possession, an unsheathed "sword"). p.s. it really is the case of circumcising men as a procreational motivation, no ******** on you... plenty of ******** on her... and how the east meets the west... back in the east i'd be a blessing... over 'ere? i'm a walking abortion... a nuisance... something you send off to fight in incestuous... here's my 100 year closure celebration: V! like the Welsh longbow men... up yours! who? in the 100 year war... the French would cut off the... **** index or middle finger? they would cut off one of the fingers of the Welsh longbow men... so they could fire an arrow... P.O.W.s... so the Welsh longbow men came up with V... a salute to the French... up yours! i still have mine! hence? i don't feel ****** jerking off... too bad, ol' chap, you've been given an incentive to find your missing ******** in a woman's ***** sorry... i actually feel sorry for you having this imposed on you... the missing caftan / hood and all... sometimes i wondered: does she even know what she's doing performing ******** on me? maybe i could cut my torso off and show her how to do it? in the east i'd be a godsend, but in the west i'm an embarrassment... great in tissue... greater still in pointless wars... auxiliary pageant... sure sure... glorify the women... last time i heard my ex-girlfriend gave birth to her fourth child... her fourth daughter... i seriously should have been born a ******* Mongol.

.oh... hi y'all: or rather - how did i find this in the noun Ohio?       i guess after watching the disaster artist   and no having watched the room... the tetragrammaton is so glaring to me in the English tongue, i might as well be a reincarnation of Belshazzar (but not really... because, to me, reincarnation implies       a fixed number of people... and an mingling of solipsism from philosophy, and NPC from the gaming world... no, i can't believe in reincarnation... saving grace of the Hindus? they're not lactose intolerant; boogie-woogie-boo-woo ooh things are turning, freak-y... why is that a Y and not an E? see... the tetragrammaton is glaring at me... like an ***** protruding phallus with the added "flavor" of a circumcision snippet... me? i'm fine... no snippet...     i can **** off as much as i like and not feel stupid - or catholic, about it, having, in my possession, an unsheathed "sword"). p.s. it really is the case of circumcising men as a procreational motivation, no ******** on you... plenty of ******** on her... and how the east meets the west... back in the east i'd be a blessing... over 'ere? i'm a walking abortion... a nuisance... something you send off to fight in incestuous... here's my 100 year closure celebration: V! like the Welsh longbow men... up yours! who? in the 100 year war... the French would cut off the... **** index or middle finger? they would cut off one of the fingers of the Welsh longbow men... so they could fire an arrow... P.O.W.s... so the Welsh longbow men came up with V... a salute to the French... up yours! i still have mine! hence? i don't feel ****** jerking off... too bad, ol' chap, you've been given an incentive to find your missing ******** in a woman's ***** sorry... i actually feel sorry for you having this imposed on you... the missing caftan / hood and all... sometimes i wondered: does she even know what she's doing performing ******** on me? maybe i could cut my torso off and show her how to do it? in the east i'd be a godsend, but in the west i'm an embarrassment... great in tissue... greater still in pointless wars... auxiliary pageant... sure sure... glorify the women... last time i heard my ex-girlfriend gave birth to her fourth child... her fourth daughter... i seriously should have been born a ******* Mongol.

upon waking, i could feel glass in my lungs small, sharp shards prickling the breaths from my chest and stealing them away from me— like some stolen innocence i remember once was mine; but that was years ago, now i've been ruined for a long time i don't sleep very well, and i don't- don't really wake up very well, either particularly as we accelerate towards winter and the only thing i can associate the cold and the dark with is childhood and threat, and my school teachers called it Seasonal Depression but my therapist knows i'm always depressed Depression is a long-time cuddle buddy; she's kept me company through trauma. my therapist tells me that the cold and dark, they're incentive to flashbacks too many nights, only single digits in age, forced to sit in the frost-bitten shadows of an alcoholic's living room with the AM hours throwing bloodied *** and violence, through a TV screen and i still remember the crippling ache of empathy, watching that little robot boy's family abandon him: lost in the woods, found only to be beaten. i breathed through the glass in my lungs, and never could quite let go of the memory, nor the popping eyes and crashing cars or the bleeding walls and possessed children; wondered, briefly, if maybe some strength could one day possess me and make my father see i was worth more than a black-blue shadow in his home, and an accessory in his favourite bars

those pensive ones as they seem to me birds on the wire gazing this way      and that lost invariably to their ennui their melancholy their obliviousness to the point some may say      pointlessness of their existence in these moments without reason or incentive enough to prompt one      or the other to take to the wing embracing the bluster of the ever-blowing winds rather they sustain this idle malingering waiting listlessly for that which none can know

birds on the wire
I was born to be a child that planted seeds of happiness in whoever I met, so my parents have told me. I don't think I have ever had the leading role in this play. I've never been that girl who everyone fawns over with the spot light shining on her all the time. I was meant to help others like the backstage hands. My biggest accomplishment was teaching my mom how to laugh at herself. She has always been that busy workaholic type. At this point in my life, it is only Act III Scene II and there hasn't been a visible plot yet. My soul is chameleon, and it is indecisive as to what color it should be. My ideas of what I want to give to this world change all the time. But soon if I don't pick, I will be thrown into a ****** without any heading. My most secret dream is to become a painter, but nobody has ever understood that part of me. When I paint, I lose all consciousness of the outside world and there is no incentive to paint besides the love of  looking at a finished piece. Maybe one day I'll be a starving artist who gets a break and then I will get my spotlight on stage.

My Role In This Play
Loneliness is now upon his throat I know it for sure What ails him hasn't a cure He's shrinking like a sinking boat. On the perch a plumed pain He's lost without a care Tells the vacant stare Dooming into a never regain. Death is an easy height to scale When life remains to grieve Without any incentive As love retires to a dark well. He's fading in the lost glory And I know it for sure What's killing him has no cure My budgie called Story.

A Budgie called Story
I asked a woman to change her curls to forever straight, and offered $50,000 (a sum on my mind that day after a particularly rough day trading), incentive to maintain said style in eternal perpetuity she has accomodated me now for over a decade+, but every every, every now and every then, She pulls me closer than close, whispers 50K~ok!, and hits me with a hockey checking an enforcer's hip swaying pow, that be her physio~verbal hockey stick reminder, that poets must always pay their debts, and even forever, eternal and perpetuity are included! & **have no legal limitations or poetic exemptions** *nor, credit, for time served* 🥴
