"inconsistency" poems
Hold the universe inside my palms I alone understand it is but a solitary dream Between stars I make out memories Connecting dots, forming images ingrained in my mind I look in the unfilled depths of sky where suns have yet to burn out, remaining eternally preserved in an explosion of beauty lightyears away wondering about humans peering at their ambience through time and space This isolated reflection I witness change in compliance with the predetermined path set in motion by the astrological forces of nature Unstable My hands must be trembling Scared of sorrow and frustration they undeniably confront The fear of the uncertain, the inconsistency of the unapologetic future awaiting Solemn visions of an imperfect outcome, enough torment to push strength a bit too far over the edge Fragile balance of peace and chaos resting within cupped desperate hands Ignorant, the quickness of extinction among synapses in the cavern lighting the entirety of my skull Pinned under familiar self-induced delusions Galaxies silently begging for permanent freedom Such fate to let their wishes dangle ignored Urges within bursting, released That moment I also give in Forcefully close my fingers into a fist Instantly crushing wild constellations scattered around my consciousness A great deal more fragile than realized Once unshakable destiny budged a millimeter by one lone act of rebellion Against a powerful pull the majority pretend is rigid Elusive control by way of self-combustion of life's temporary illusions Proof one touch can fell worlds of fantasy Founded on fiction Or maybe Reality

Hold the universe inside my palms I alone understand it is but a solitary dream Between stars I make out memories Connecting dots, forming images ingrained in my mind I look in the unfilled depths of sky where suns have yet to burn out, remaining eternally preserved in an explosion of beauty lightyears away wondering about humans peering at their ambience through time and space This isolated reflection I witness change in compliance with the predetermined path set in motion by the astrological forces of nature Unstable My hands must be trembling Scared of sorrow and frustration they undeniably confront The fear of the uncertain, the inconsistency of the unapologetic future awaiting Solemn visions of an imperfect outcome, enough torment to push strength a bit too far over the edge Fragile balance of peace and chaos resting within cupped desperate hands Ignorant, the quickness of extinction among synapses in the cavern lighting the entirety of my skull Pinned under familiar self-induced delusions Galaxies silently begging for permanent freedom Such fate to let their wishes dangle ignored Urges within bursting, released That moment I also give in Forcefully close my fingers into a fist Instantly crushing wild constellations scattered around my consciousness A great deal more fragile than realized Once unshakable destiny budged a millimeter by one lone act of rebellion Against a powerful pull the majority pretend is rigid Elusive control by way of self-combustion of life's temporary illusions Proof one touch can fell worlds of fantasy Founded on fiction Or maybe Reality

I am a humming bird with a broken wing forming a geometric fall. I am a conjoined twin with a foot in heaven and one in hell. I am a geyser spewing out echoes from a stonewall well. I am an open road stretched for miles paved with a murderous smile. I am a man with a firm handshake who stands still on top of an earthquake. I am a visionary man who slipped on fate and fell in love. I am a preliminary hearing fallen on deaf ears. I am the contribution to your retribution. I am a person of depersonalization. I am a one man army minus one man. I am the desired taste of orange juice and toothpaste. I am concentrated concentration. I am the formation of your imagination. I am the comma for your introductory clause. I am the cause for your sudden pause. I am the spatula that stirs up your anxiety. I am the reaper who never leaves a clue. I am the lace that always chokes the shoe. I am the light that finds its way thru helping the little shrew. I am the suburban white boy who sings the blues. I am consistent inconsistency. I am your assigned tour guide for your expiration exploration.

I AM
Brazen rusted iron-scent of blood– there, before him, a river of crimson and failed dreams. No boat, no oars. Just plain chivalry and bravery and yesteryears’ scars that manifest all throughout and within him. He dips his feet. There were scattered skeletons and crunched broken bones basking under the dunes of the night. There were ghosts clinging unto his own ghosts; creatures against creatures. The tip of their swords sinking down to his own tired flesh in attempt to find refuge in the treacherous wings of the forests. He swims along. And his shoulders were battered and his mare was tainted– with dirt and dust and ashes of the enemies; with memories and silhouettes buried sent flying along the caresses of the north winds. He gasps for air, and stills himself under the ebbs. Under many moons and scarcity of life– Scarcity of Life– the recurring sight of the gaseous light and the inconsistency of the breath-intervals, he remains still and proud. His soles burnt with pain and interminable suffering as it crossed the stretches of the savanna. This is his life, dwelling on the dawn borealis and stained with apparitions of the past and demons and absurdity. He has crossed the river.

Your Inconsistency Is Killing Me
I am from inconsistency, forced adjustment, eternally molding in a feeble attempt to appease my demanding environment. I am from the loophole of the universe with no purpose, few absolutes, and a limited amount of time. From laugh tracks, reminding me when to laugh, and for how long. From the boredom at the bottom, I've been Thriving in the *** trough, endlessly scrounging for solutions and temporary entertainment. From redundant ideas and places, stale bread, flat coke, familiar situations and words. On a screen in america

Culture carrot-where im from
It sways and flickers away. Like a wren. The flame stains the glass and reflects fully the inconsistency. Casts shadows on the wall Frightful swirls. Turns wax to syrup Sweet, seduced I want to swallow it Feel the liquid fire scald my throat. I shouldn't be allowed to have candles.

pap pap pap I can't breath my stomach is bubbling like hot cheese on an fresh oven pizza my legs feel skinny I want to lean into a wall the floor looks spinny the wainscoting is squint my vision is blurry because...tears? Why is there worry in my middle? I feel fine, my mind is sound this fear isn't mine what’s it doing here? What is this panic? Fight or flight I understand, but this is plain manic. I need to go at top speed or maybe hide? Either way, be freed from this distress. pap pap pap Push someone over, human shield that **** reduce my exposure to hyperventilation. Shallow in, shallow out, I feel akin to sprinting Mufasa Pure distress acute discomfort, a proper mental problem. Nonetheless, it’s strange to foresee the diagnosis. It’s as if I’m watching from someone else’s skin as alligator clamps are botching holding my physiology in. A sunburn on my innards, a paperweight within you’d think I’d feel pride for finally having something wrong. Hypochondria being accurate the years of inventing doom, suddenly isn't aberrant those fabrications had substance. Or maybe all these thinks are symptoms in themselves after sifting through piles of shrinks, maybe I can finally get some help. pap pap pap Look at my pretty framed prescription, doctor certified, messy handwriting, this will take some decryption... don’t worry, take your time, this pathoreaction won't go away. I’m told desolation is a temperament set to stay until after eighteen simple payments. I’m inclined to reject treatment of drugs that fiddle with the mind I’d rather stay present, continue inconsistency. I would like to try narration, see how many kilometers I can recall. I can deal with frustration, so let’s talk about my childhood. Public transit without destination sends me on a revere, an absence of crippling desperation. I've found peace before it was between yellow poles, in the outside pocket of a backpack on parole. It smiled at me quietly. pap pap pap Apparently, it’s the small things that help you deal with anxiety.

I never understood the reason I cry before things end is because the man that was supposed to wake up every morning and tell me I was worthy, only ever texted me on my birthday to tell me he was proud. As if he ever played any part in raising the person I am today. How dare he show his face every other holiday and act as if the good in me came from him. I've spent the last twenty years using boys to fill his void. I've spent the last twenty years begging those to stay that were never meant to. Because the only way I knew to recognize a man's love was in his inconsistency. You tell me you want me but the daylight fades over and over and I haven't heard from you in two weeks. I learned when I was 5 years old that a man's words mean nothing when his actions don't align. I am done giving you the benefit of the doubt.

lessons learned
When my height is matched only by my age,the sage told me, 'that I will have found an ecstasy so rare,that no one will ever, have ever been there. I count the rings as if I am a tree but ecstasy eludes me, as I knew it would. I could have counted grains of sand and after,started on the rice or carved upon a cuckoos egg,something very nice,just to let the cuckoo know,that we know why she builds no nest. I have festered long enough and boiled up in the glare of a staring midday sun,it's time and time has just begun to interest me, never mind the ecstasy, that will come as surely as the night begets the day,one day my day will arrive in all its splendour. This is the agenda that I look towards the sky and pray for, a gender difference in her magnificence and I would bow before this maiden,laden as I am with all these wantings in my head. I read once in a book, that all it took was just a look and then we're trapped,wrapped inside her spider web,carried off and eaten in her silken bed,but I would like to try it anyway,come what may my day will run before the settings of another sun and I will taste that which is fun or I will die, in contempt and contemptuous of my inconsistency,I allude again to my search for ecstasy and is it that my eyes or indeed my body fail me,when she hails me from her sanctuary? and I see only what I want to see, something that the sage had been careful not to tell me, fruitless. On the tree of evolution, I am just some insects ignorant secretion and as I wait for some predetermined 'who dares wins'completion I count again the rings.

She...she sets the mood with her thigh high dress She...she sets the tone with her mind on *** But she thinks "resist"... for confusion, confusion sets in when lust becomes stronger than love.. oh, has lust become stronger than us? For I... I...have fallen for you You have become my addiction..oh.. Have my heart in your conviction, Lock me up... Throw away the key, A prisoner in your inconsistency... For has lust become stronger than love... Has lust become stronger than us? I don't know...don't ask me if I care Addicted to your eyes, please don't stop with your stares Blood drippin down the stairs, from something shattered. Buzzed off the mixture - of emotions and disaster. Alone, alone in my room - oh Where you set the tone...hm, set the tone With your *** with your mind Only question is this time... Did lust become stronger than love? How did we forget...did we forget about us?

Stronger than love...
I whisper to the dark, Because it's the shelter I need. I stare at the sky, Because it's the freedom I crave. I close my eyes to the ocean, Because it's the inconsistency I hate. I glare at the shadows, Because they're the emptiness I bear. I cry to the dandelions, Because they're the youth that I've lost. I shout at the clouds, Because they're the oppression I fear. I laugh to the stars, Because they're the mysteries unsolved. I curse at wishbones, Because they're the lies I recall. I bargain to numbers, Because they're the inevitable I resist. I flinch at street corners, Because they're the openness I lack. I'm surrounded by thoughts, And I wish I could see the world With eyes untainted by life.

Untainted Eyes
This inconsistency that rumbles Churning within the recesses of my ribs I down a pill of self pity with a swig of pride And tell the pain to go away Tell myself it was never there That I'm fine I'm good smooth it over Put a baggy shirt on so you can't see The holes behind the recesses of my ribs Loving you is easy in theory And most of the time in reality too But sometimes when you ask me to do that little task or tell you that little thing Something within me threatens to snap Because I perceive that you see the satisfaction of your need to be more important than my current occupation And I feel unseen Even though I know you see me best And I feel victimized even though I know your request is perfectly reasonable And so the contradiction of awareness When I see the inconsistency in me blaring crimson red and midnight blue And I don't know what to do with these colors I don't know what image to paint or what brush to use I don't even know who I'd give the painting to Or if I'd keep it for myself

And now, Mary? What do we do, Mary? Where do I go, Mary? Why now, Mary? But why, Mary? Come on, Mary. It hurts, Mary. Give us a chance, Mary. Let’s make it work, Mary. Oh, please, Mary! And you, Mary? What do you feel, Mary? It’s someone else, Mary? What do you think, Mary? Where’s your love, Mary? Okay! It’s spent. It’s over. It’s not as it used to be. This is too much! Bye, Mary. Hi, Jane. Nice to meet you, Jane. I love you, Jane!

Consistently, I'll crave your inconsistency, Consistently, inconsistent Because-- Heaven, is what I feel when you touch my Skin. And when you sin with me in the dark, Dark night I wonder if I Might Get the chance for this song and dance to last The past is holding you back From me. Be still, stop running Stop ruining everything in your path Self-destruction Funnily enough, I know you're slipping through My fingers, so Linger no longer in my bleeding heart Just part ways with me already, I am not Steady On my own two feet with/out you See? I am defeated, I am so defeated As I crave our moments, so Heated Hot like fire; soulful desire Dire Is my craving for you to admire Me. But you won't see-- Me. Be---ating hearts, stutter, Flutter Muttering soft murmurs of want, Of need, of peace, of release Haunt me With your absence, Have sense To never come back I won't take you back, (Lie) I won't take you back (Lie, lie all I do is lie) My, by and by I slowly die And without care You stare at my pain And scoff A brush, a kick in the dirt, Don't you see my hurt? Ghosted by you, You don't see anything through To the end Scared little boy, Ruined little boy. Hurt little boy, I would've loved you, Little boy. You foolish tool I bid you adieu, My Ghost.

You're my contradiction Inconsistency ablaze in every thought Fighting for control against my need for your touch My desire for your body Whilst inside my head The truth creeps like a soft footed Panther Around the jungle of my mind I'm f a l l i n g I don't know where I will land I know what this is You said you loved me .....

Contradiction
For you, my dear I will simply try to hear you Not to always agree, Or discern the false from the true Kept meaning to quiet my own thoughts While I held still for hours trying to understand Or decipher the inconsistency of the words Without the satisfaction of a well thought out and productive plan. I pray you will find happiness within By chance, our next chance meeting shall be less invasive Oh, what beautiful spirit cannot contain So mystical, enchanting and always brave. I bid you, farewell My forever friend I'll think of you often Where have you been?

inconsistency
Pain disfigures into numbness in the silence that screams at me like so many crazed thoughts. A heated state cools into quiet resentment. Regardless of how I feel, how you do, this night has changed us irreparably. How can you say these things are equal? Where do you get off? Your half-sung apologies fall heavy on deaf ears. Can you feel me ignoring you? You think I let you down? I needed to do something with my hands. You have shown to me the inconsistency of love. Nothing is unconditional. If it were, I wouldn't even be here fighting with you. Those words, also labile, were the truth in the moment, regardless of tomorrow. I may love you, but I hated you then.

I hated you.
The pressure behind my eyes swells Like the tide under a full moon. Waves crack against my rocky shores And shatter over me. Shards wash away But most stay lodged in my bleeding heart. And I love you anyway. I love you despite your inconsistency and insensitivity. I love you even though I can't stand too close Without feeling worthless. I love you even though You're radioactive. I love you despite the fact that you never Held me the way I needed you to. You were never there The way I was there for you. When I needed you the most, You looked into my crying eyes And walked away. But I love you anyway. I needed you a lot And maybe I was too clingy. But maybe i wouldn't have held Onto you so tightly If I could be sure you would be there When I reached for you. You always knew That I would drop anything And everything to be there for you. But you never gave me that security. Still, I love you I love you even though I can't be sure of Who you are anymore. You used to show me how you felt You used to let me know. But you've become so robotic I'm not sure you feel a thing anymore. And I love you. You used to smile You used to laugh Now your eyes are empty Except for racing calculations. Always thinking Never feeling. You're barely human anymore, Just a machine That won't stop spewing And fixing things that aren't broken. Yet, I love you. And you wonder why Your friends are gone You wonder why you feel so alone. You won't reach anyone Where they need to be felt. And I love more than anything. I love you like I might die tomorrow. I love you even though you don't love me anymore. I love you even though you broke promises you never made. I love you even though you don't deserve my love anymore.

But maybe i wouldn't have held Onto you so tightly If I could be sure you would be there When I reached for you. You always knew That I would drop anything And everything to be there for you. But you never gave me that security. Still, I love you I love you even though I can't be sure of Who you are anymore. You used to show me how you felt You used to let me know. But you've become so robotic I'm not sure you feel a thing anymore. And I love you. You used to smile You used to laugh Now your eyes are empty Except for racing calculations. Always thinking Never feeling. You're barely human anymore, Just a machine That won't stop spewing And fixing things that aren't broken. Yet, I love you. And you wonder why Your friends are gone You wonder why you feel so alone. You won't reach anyone Where they need to be felt. And I love more than anything. I love you like I might die tomorrow. I love you even though you don't love me anymore. I love you even though you broke promises you never made. I love you even though you don't deserve my love anymore.

To my ex-girlfriend's rebound, I was the one who told her you were gay, so, in a way, your experience was my fault and for that I am sorry While she did not cheat on me with you, you still served a purpose to her in a time of loneliness, Those moments where she led you to believe that she cared for you and that she wanted something more And I'm not mad at you for falling for her. You've seen her, you've heard her, felt her touch and the fire she lit inside when she looked at you But you also felt the burn of her leaving you. You felt the prospect of having time with her tomorrow being ripped away like an old band aid I know that feeling all too well, See I was not quite angry at you for kissing her-- or rather, letting her kiss you and falling for her inconsistency--I felt betrayed Seeing as I knew you from class where We'd shared deep poetry with one another, and though we never spoke individually, you heard the words that bled from my paper, you could undeniably feel my devotion to her, my undying love, her unbearable significance in my life. And then you had to rip a band-aid off of me too, Simply to make yourself feel better While I'm more than grateful that you disclosed your relations with her, Trying to guilt trip me and hyperbolize the experience? That is from where my problem grew You made it out like I stole her from you when my biggest sense of pride in that relationship came from the fact that I NEVER Not even once Tried to contact her after she broke up with me Yes, in the moment I begged for her back But once I left her bedroom, That was it. Yes, every inch of me cracked under that pressure caused by the sense of drowning that came with her letting me go And **** right I cried myself to sleep every night Dreaming that she'd come back And, for the second time, She did. When she called me that night, at 3am balling her eyes out Though skeptical, I was there for her She begged for a chance at forgiveness And I gave it to her Little did I know that that same night You had peeled yourself from her pillows when she asked you to leave After all the "kissing" "cuddling" and "compliments" And yet She. Called. Me. So while I still hold resentment toward you for your vengeance toward me I thank you for being honest with me, even with the intended malice behind your disclosure And I shouldn't hold on to this anger any longer: I heard the pain in your voice when you came for your shoes and found me in her bed instead I felt your anger as you flaunted your experience with her And I know your pain at the realization that she lied to you and it all meant very little to her She did it to me too Then again, this grudge may be one of the last things still connecting me to her And maybe I'm not ready to let that go

I’ve spent my days spiraling, or branching, triangulating, and running in circles, with time always for counting petals, or coloring. My cerebral bouquet, farewell, I resign myself to stems and straight edges, at risk, with tenuous grip, of an imminent scalpel-slip, and the ultimatum in severed-sphere- reconstruction.

A Cure for Inconsistency?
Today is my first day without you, like really without you. Before, there was always a chance, always a hope that things would be okay and that we would work out. But today is the start of a new chapter, where you and me don't exist, and there is no us, maybe, or one day. I am free of the lies you told, the mistreatment, and the disdain. I'm free of the inconsistency, callousness, and pain. There are no more chances, no forgiveness, or apologies to accept. There or no more talks, or possibilities, or "just want to catch up"s. Your power is gone, the one you held over me like a grim reaper, waiting for me to falter. The worst kind of monster... Welcoming me with open arms, only to lead me down the spiral of insanity. I'm done, and I'm ready, but I'm not yet okay. But I know that now I can work towards feeling that again one day. And it hurts, but maybe that's the pain that I need. Perhaps it's just that which will finally break the cycle of awful, maddening repetition. I know some days I will move forward and some days I'll fall back, but at least you won't be there to remind me just how much. I will never again hate myself for letting you in. This is not the end, and I'm so ready to begin. So today I will celebrate your absence, as a never-ending holiday. I am so thankful that I chose not to let you stay. Because none of this was worth it, and if I could I would change so many things, and wish all of it away. So goodbye, my love, the one haunting my past. The one who appears in my nightmares, including the one I live every day. Who's there to remind me that I'm weak, and I'm broken, and that no truer words have ever been spoken, except... I'm more whole than you'll ever be, especially now you have to live without me.
