Platonic Love Song The wind in our hair as our lungs work Screaming out the lyrics to a teenage summer As we drive free, racing, to the waves and mountains Lights in our eyes and hands over hearts Youthful yearning fills us, as we get caught chasing the sky Her laughter fills my soul and she begins to dance While she wraps her arms around me, safe A fire blazes, but our smiles are what light up the night We make the stars jealous,  They beg for half of our shine Embers and vapour fill the air,  Hands trading drinks and smoke and care Music floats and lyrics sink in Lips trading stories and laughter and kisses Engines start, stop, jump, and rumble Her eyes gleam and shift, catching attention Hypnotising and beautiful,  They draw us in, keep us safe, and we ask to stay.  Let yourself love your friends. Let yourself stay with them.  She pumps music into our lives, her voice loud We dance to the wild tempo of our heartbeats Crass and catching, her voice settles in us Let people in, even when it’s hard. Let yourself love them.  She scrunches her face up and tosses in jokes, Making us smile at any price,  She helps us laugh the pain away.  Let people love you back.  I know it can be hard but... She covers her smile with a hand,  Else she’d blind us, but we’d be alright, If that could be the last thing we see If you aren’t in love with your friends, where is your absolution?  She swings her hips and we get lost in her lips, The gold on her skin, the brown in her eyes,  Entrancing on a new level, and we exalt If you aren’t in love with your friends, then something is wrong.  She grabs our hands, reviving and vital,  Her shoulders jump and so do we, she’s got us on our feet Her energy is infections, makes us forget imperfection.  If you aren’t in love with your friends, where are you spending your time?  Existing in a different state, but in the same hearts,  And we are all staring at the same jealous stars.  She feels like a home you’ve never been too.  If you aren’t in love with your friends, then you’re not doing it right.  Because for me, they define ride or die,  The first loves of my life, they mean open Open arms, open homes, open hearts They are coffee in the cold and make up in the night,  Empowerment in the dark and hope in the now.  Love isn’t just for spouses and partners,    Love is for those who you know with your heart,  Who’s soul touched yours, and said,  “Hey, it’s been a while. I missed you.”  And if you haven’t felt that yet then I’m sorry,  But don’t worry, you’ll find them.  And when you do, it will be like coming home.  And you’ll know.

Sludge and blood. The smell of deep red iron filtering through the rocks and bodies bruised to the touch. Grotesque collections of pills and broken skin; infections and secretions and violent affections - Spit stained fingers and dilated pupils at thoughts thick with resin. Waking up with sickness in your stomach and bite marks on your neck The pull of clutching hands at strands of hair and bitten lips and sweat Pulling deeper, sharp inhale of self-done stitches Ripped open insides and the moment his breath hitches - aches forever. Pulsing, swollen, bleeding on the brain Sweet and sickly, gorgeous and gorged veins Momentary singularity in pain.

Medical Tourism (Double Etheree Poem)
The storm has gone It's eerily quiet As darkness creeps in I try not to fight it. My body is broken ****** and mangled I hug my knees closer My heartstrings all tangled. My skin is stripped away Taking my protection My thoughts are dull rusty blades Cutting deep, horrid infections.

Stranded (Continuation)
I read somewhere recently to release all my sorrows and anger I must start by going within. Finding that place where it all goes away. My question to you is, is who are you to say my worries can be scrubbed away like dirt on a dish, when they feel more like infections to quarantine like a plague. When I venture deep inside behind my mental consciousness I find it crowded like a busy city street. I wander lost in the sounds and smells surrounded by my illusions of the human spirit. I fade into the background of my mind. I reach for a hand to help me on my way, but I must climb the staircase of self-doubt before I find my own way out.

Busy Street
She was like the iron pyrite The teacher asked them to examine, and describe; Cold, dense and prickly, Difficult to love. Given the right light And a gentle handling, Oh, how she'd sparkle, But in that place, expectations and sensory overload rendered her lumpen, and resistant. Removed from her books and her inner world - all she needed - And placed in a maelstrom, She was bewildered and forlorn. Un-cooperative, they called her, And the teachers loved the other gems instead, Pretty little nuggets; Ruby, Jasper, Jade. Two years of discouragement and dislike And even the tentative sparkles had darkened. The other gems enjoyed each other And moved away from her magnetic pull, sensing difference. No outright meanness, not yet, But hints were brewing, whispers had started And she wandered alone, in the playground, Talking to the seagulls, and singing to herself. The teachers only wanted conformity And called her parents to voice concern about her lack of friends. Had they asked her, allowed her to have a say She would have told them it didn't matter But they were determined that it did, to them, if not to her, And her parents were added to the burden of people Worried and disappointed, watching. She knew now, she was different, she had always known but never minded, Now it was a problem. She didn't fit, Like that scratchy purple uniform, around her chubby waist Food didn't judge, dislike or condemn. That life ended, and a new struggle, in a new school, began. This was harder; the meanness was apparent now, Difference wasn't tolerated And someone wandering alone was a target. She found a place to hide, behind a staircase, with a book, But they found her, removed her and patrolled her only refuge Forcing her to submit to the torture. Every day was a war zone, So she found another way, and embraced ill-health, stealthily Spraying deodorant directly into her own face induced asthma attacks; and not all those ear infections were real, She was an accomplished actress. She got through it, millions do. She found her own place, her own friends in her own time. Among Onyx, Jet and Tigers Eye Her darkness didn't mark her out as different, And all that fake illness Was great prep for theatre, Where she was able to return to her inner world, And no-one cared if you feigned madness Or embraced the real thing. Difference was celebrated, The whispers now, were that she had a great stage presence, And a talent to be nurtured, Not a difference to be despised.

for richer or poorer
music becomes mucus, leftover remnants of bacterial infections that refuse to vacate my brain no matter how many decongestants i consume, those sound waves reverberate back and forth and back and forth within my thick *** skull and i am driven mad by memories how to cut tender wires intricately woven into the most simple mass of a mess you will ever see i find myself muttering solutions in my sleep and when i reach conclusions i'm already half awake pen in hand, paper on chest, but ahh, it's gone, it's gone my dream world holds more clarity than my walking daze and i can only find the words for poetry, my tongue and throat are revolting, refusing to take part in walks down memory lane, fingers soon to follow suit

Though excruciating, I have delicately incised my heart And left it open for you. Blood and all. I am completely defenseless, Truly surrendering what is deepest within me. All of me is on display, And I am vulnerable, exposed. Our environment, unsterile, Makes me susceptible to infections: Hate, judgment, abuse That spread through the words and actions of others, Attacking my system. And, subconsciously, I internalize them, Accepting them as my own. But I trust you to care for me. I believe with conviction, I must, You have washed your hands In preparation to touch my heart With the gentleness I need And cannot provide myself. Because alone, I am unfixable, Permanently damaged and slowly losing blood. Dying behind my seemingly perfect demeanor, A closed facade. I trust that because I have exposed my pain To you, solely you, We can begin to repair the destruction And stop the hemorrhaging, Together. Thereby providing the means by which This earthly vessel, and in turn The fragile soul inside, Can finally begin to heal.

Born a baby girl, they said with tears in their eyes "She will be soft, and quiet, and beautiful." They stared at her with undying love knowing she would one day fit perfectly in a mans trophy case. So she grew and was tended to, a rose ripe for the picking. I say rose because roses are lovely. Plain. Soft. Supple. Silent. Her words had always been white crayon on blank paper, mosquitoes swatted at summer picnics, ear infections that invaded the canal but never quite reached the brain. She was taught to dress all in white and never speak up at the dinner table. Opinions are for crazy people and so is any splash of colour. She sat in her silence until her white dress started to blend into the walls. Invisibility is a super power! Just watch any action movie that wasn't made for little girls. When lying in the dark it is tempting to raise a hand to ones face. See how no distinction can be made between a human body and the air surrounding it? Imagine doing this in the light of day. There came a time where she could no longer handle the sight of her own emptiness and squeezed her eyes shut to discover galaxies hiding beneath her eyelids. She smiled and colours came surging through the cracks in her teeth. Staining her white face and her white dress and her white walls. Her Mother screamed and her Father cried. No boy would ever love a girl they could see. One with flowers blossoming beneath her feet and suns exploding behind her eyes. They mourned her that day. Her silence was never supposed to grow volumes. To them she died the day she came alive.

Hubby, Our fractured laugh is irredeemable. It Is reinforcing the heroic microbes. to brainstorm some tiny schemes. with a lack of delicacy and tact to recur the same cynic nights of devastation, incorporate the sores into our throats; a full-time personification of tangible intrusion, directly to the full portrait of the Meningitis itself. Distracting the law of the incubation hours for all strains, overpowering the blood cower, and hovering over our jaded hoarse, sneering at our last appalling psyche-knot After this creative detention, I’m invoking another forever torpor inside of our hearts' beats to pose another irrevocable damage that would perpetuate a close depiction of da Vinci’s Last Supper masterpiece. Honey, Light yourself with a viral-bacterial whirlwind and sink into its bleakness beside my bewitching bind. I'm still loving you despite all my infections. amid the urge to enfold your tsunami and swallow its combination Fortunately, we have survived so many different tragedies together, as a full piece of plague above Utopia. - The Poetic Soul

The viral-bacterial detention.
Band-aids to prevent the social infections that could eventually spread to the frontal lobe, Diseases started on Fox News, spread to the living room, circulate around the family dinner table putting victims of ignorance on the coroner’s slab Alleviate the pain. Should we let the gapping wounds of intolerance fester, decay and grow maggots? ***** bigotry, vile illiteracy, primitive ideas coat the skins of society like a black goo. Band-aids: self adhesive bandages We aren’t teachers. We are medics. covering the gapping wounds of life lathering the lesions with Neosporin. Healing the scars from parenting gone wrong - scars from wounded self-esteems -lacerations to the proverbial heart Scars lasting longer than the body itself.   No one knows where its impact will end. Band-aids temporary fix heal the wound fast, heal the hurt faster A Johnson and Johnson remedy for damaged organisms Well-meaning ones hurling scriptures scald hands with tainted words Healing is a matter of time. Arm teachers to protect children from the crazies who loom? What will protect them from their own inherited ignorance? The damage is already done when they get here. Equip us with Band-Aids, boxes and boxes. Hello Kitty over their ears to block the infection from coming in Spiderman for their mouths. Stop the seepage of any contamination from spreading to others. The remaining scars will fade, but not disappear. even with a band-aid.

Band-aids
I Jammed the pain inside, to wait for the defects to reside. Today strays and wanders away until it's stuffed down inside the void of discomfort. Let's roll our imagination onto light able paper, light it, and watch it burn.. See because that's what addiction does. It overrides your body latching on your inner artistry for its fuel. Pretty soon you become a machine, something mindless. Fasten your seatbelt because your on auto-pilot. Now the transactions of your body really start to inaugurate. Your internals no longer has what it takes to fight, to resist, so now come the alterations.The tips of your fingers go hand in hand with the tip of your tongue. How your saliva's lust for substance dismantles the chemical compounds. Your taste buds loving that all too familiar feeling. Your greed full blood consuming every inch of it. As the destruction slowly trickles down your throat your anxious. Then the finale comes, the moment you've been waiting patiently for the manipulation and overhaul of your brain and your reality remodeled, your home. In those seconds pain is never an option, never a thought. Your lost out at sea. But that's all it really is, seconds, minutes, sometimes hours, just a little more time to stick the dysphoria on the back burner. When in truth you've just deepened the scar and exposed it to infections. When it's gone your left with broken thoughts that feel unrepairable. Addiction doesn't just come from pre-packaged materials, they come from every entity you wish that blocks the truth out. They come from unfulfillment , pain, and soak themselves until you are left with no control. You have to fight, fight for your life. Face the music

Oh so I guess it was infected On so many levels Probably my fault for loving an angel ****** Scorpio who gives ******** like a greasy exhaust pipe who swaps ****** fluid like a last ditch transfusion for a cure done in an ally in Mexico I thought you could save me with your shameless passion The vibrating underwear at dinner The dare to straight face in public You were ***** And you were ***** And I was trying to make a mess So cleaning myself up might look drastic You were an adventure I can’t shake The kind of adventure you can’t catch twice Until you catch it twice I have been told Learning is a change in behavior Learning is finding ways to not make the same mistake Over And over Clearly I am still learning Still infected with With the self-inflicted wrong decisions Of loving people who don’t love me back And filling holes With the parts of myself that are designed to do that Hoping mine will be filled too I’ve put a pillow in my open chest wound So you might still think it’s safe to lay there So you won’t hear the heartbeat race of hope That things won’t hurt so much later Won’t feel like a film on my skin that doesn’t wash away When I watch you leave me in the morning And all I want to do is beg you to stay Stay and pretend this is real a little longer I’ve never been one to tear band-aids from wounds quickly I pick scabs I have scars I am ugly And I am still learning Still trying different ways To love healthy So yeah, I guess this is infected

Intellectual stimulation from a twisted mind Bringing life to the insanity I tried to hide Cracking whips to break the chains, feeling death drip from my veins Pouring poison down the drain from infections inside Chasing rumors through the sewers, lost in tunnels of depravity; God's the only viewer but this show's not quite reality Gravity scraped knuckles with me all the way down A brute stuck in a boot loop asking me to drown These restarts after crashes turned my synapses to ashes Now I can't feel the rats in my cyber cerebral casket Dead in the head and strapped into my bed I dug at my wrists until I saw red The doctors applauded at everything the gauze did It still couldnt stop it so on it bled

Dreaming In Blood ~Collaboration With DaSH~
There's this feeling of irrepressible despair that I can no longer keep inside. I need to know where you are, and where you've been, why do you hide? I'm sitting here wondering why I told you to go. Why I pushed you away, why we said no. I see you through a screen full of lies and deception. Depression's setting in, like screams of infections. You were my protection, for the longest, the one I leaned on, but by the selection of my words, you broke away clean, gone. The pain I feel is surreal, I can't explain nor can I deal, You were something of a thrill, I needed you then, I need you still, You're the only thing in life that ever seemed real, but now I'm back to dreaming, killing my mind to conceal. Thoughts bleeding, mind breaching. Heavy breathing. Now all apart of my past, I trap it all in a mask I wear, my voice raspy, I tear the wrist, bombing my heart, Fear passed me. Blood and bone, ******** on my own. I found my home and another, who loves me more than my mother, I love you but I love her more and furthermore, she's glorious, I'm never bored, Notorious, but not a bore, losing her I can't afford, so sorry baby here's the door... Leave me be. Can't you see? Your memory is killing me. At ease, I am calm, Agreed I'm angry and I'm, not really stable, Turnt tables, Look at me now, Oh, you aren't able...

You, my band-aid promising to heal to keep me from infections You, my band-aid so sticky and clingy except for when I needed you most You, my band-aid promised to heal but in the end, only covered it up

Hello Kitty or Transformers; I needed you.
A harsh wind kisses my fingers into sleeping. Blurring the movement on the toggles of an anorak, But my eyes dart quick, oiled and fleeting, searching for my beloved old salt, looking back. Funny, how in those footprints, the piercing night that bites the ears and cries can feel as soft as sheets washed in the light of the moon, pulled by the tide. this darkness which surrounds us. it makes the world one of thrashing silhouettes And as the earth breathes in gusts It gives calmness to a mind, to comfortably forget this, lulled swoon of nature pulsating hits the windows, we can't help to be animated. we cannot be closed to it, cannot obscure it the call of the waves that past fishermen created. pausing, that sun-baked, sinuous arm rose and peering through his cigarette smoke specters. the steam of my own breathing, softly froze As the sky illuminated my weary lenses. the theatre of sky before us fight light polluted filling My mind left wandering like waking sleep. These gladiators of light bleed ochre from shining artillery, Their particles drifting into the night's sea, so deep. Sparks spat by suns lie suspended above me held like dew in nets of celestial string. as the sunlight comes peering through these the intensity in a pinprick, unearthly passion within. lancing the sky too are spears of my dreaming as neon cobras strike and churn to flee. these heaven-borne beings carving visual song Cutting luminescent pathways into my memory. The soundless iron giant is now still as a caryatid. Holding me before that blacksmith showered light. an artist plucks flaming dewdrops from the wind illuminating my foray into this night. I sensed a small piece of gene pierce his yang a black taint to his overall brightness. In my black yin a spark from him i hang and I'm proud of the infections we posses. As he narrates this landscape, he narrates himself. a new side to a shape I felt I knew. As far into feelings as his masculine paradigm delved like a square’s seventh face, always hidden from view.

A scalpel or incision will leave me with an evil vision Torn from religion, anthropomorphic beast of nihilism Kissing the devil's daughter My raps are food for fodder and sauder To grow the model of society run by hate and broken bottles I don't coddle your misconceptions Your life has no direction Except a knife splitting your intestines Internal infections lead me to beckon My hate is not strong enough I'll cut you in sections, leave you in pieces My hatred denies Jesus At the end of the day, your conception of reality should be aborted like a fetus Death meets you with open eyes Defeat you, beat you, and watch you cry Contemplating suicide The hatred of mind is something not easy to find
