"intoxications" poems
I've been in a love a time or another, I have sisters & brothers, a father & a mother. I've called disguised enemies bestfriends & believed they cared for me. I've been in every situation regarding the complexities of a human relationship, & its dreadful rollercoaster of emotional intoxications. I've had my highs & I've gotten beat down by the blows life rained on me. I've let disappointments & betrayals plague me & depress me. I've kept a closed mouth through the majority of my mistreatments, passive & submissive to all the things that have marred me. I have my own testimonial story, & I'm strong enough today to keep it from destroying me. The me I am today, can say " I understand the difference between speaking up to save my soul, & keeping quit to keep the pain inside. The difference in walking away for the better & clinging to the wishful hope that it will get better. The strength to keep quiet when necessary & speak loud & proudly for in the things I believe. " In ever intricate situation I have risen. My strength, not to be mistaken or underestimated. I am a savior, & I will continue to do so. No soul on earth would like to see me happy, in the way the soul I harbour inside myself does. My trials & tribulations, are the best part of me. Keep me or leave, I will always be me.

Trials & Tribulations
An unstoppable ancient cyclone should hold man's dreams accountable, an eternal flame if the soul, already restless to the core, wanted to flicker; perhaps no one and nothing has time to wait with dignity, and await the order of the final tests. The Janus shadow of sleeping jellyfish creeps through our rusty coils, when man can no longer possess the ability to make his active shrinking, hazelnut-brain remember - afraid - perhaps it will be swallowed up by the insidious vibration-wave of self-destructive waves. Spread fingers can no longer, tremblingly, embrace the loyalty of the Universe, to which they once swore with the word of the heart according to the laws of mortals. The small, frayed erosion of the body has been lurking helplessly for thirty or so years and does not ask, it only acts. Behind the person's back, old love-intoxications, eternal friendships guarded with fear, when everything seemed crystal clear and perhaps even simpler than it does now, still glow like a fading ember; the continuously drifting Time simultaneously wears, carves, shapes and if the person foolishly does not pay attention at all, what could never have been born is destroyed, that the attractive ara - at that time - did not want a sweetly babbling baby because of her bikini line. As a mortal - even so -, he has cheated himself a lot, because he has been constantly sobered by the fierce series of judgment days; if necessary, if not for the last time, the merciless, brutal whip of Reality can strike him at any time. A restless, storm-beaten soul cannot rest in peace and quiet; It must dismantle itself, as a supposedly solid cell-molecule, which is being squeezed with increasingly ruthless executioner-like rigidity by the fetters of the body's diseases.

THE BETRAYING WAVE OF THE SELF
An unstoppable ancient cyclone should hold man's dreams accountable, an eternal flame if the soul, already restless to the core, wanted to flicker; perhaps no one and nothing has time to wait with dignity, and await the order of the final tests.

I. You know I resent you for a thousand things, like how she and I don’t talk anymore. But most of all because you didn’t love me. Like how you made everything seem so simple when it wasn’t. But most of all because you fooled me completely. I resent you for a thousand things, but I still don’t know what I’ll say when you decide to come back. You’ll come back. II. Twisting my thoughts around you has become so simple to do, become a habit. Twisting them around you, through you, drilling into your skin. But it gets harder and harder to hollow you out like I would before, making you into an empty shell that I was much less afraid of. I love this ball and chain; Stockholm syndrome has never been this fun before. III. And you’re an entity that doesn’t have a name. A mix of so many spirits that excites me in a way I didn’t know something could. You’re a list of intoxications that renders me so readable it’s dangerous. I slur my words and you take my hand like I’d never been so articulate and charming.

triptych #3
this summer has been a mix of intoxications. of infatuations and complications. someone who wanted to spend the entire summer together no longer wants to communicate past a simple "hello". someone who i wanted to spend the entire summer with vanished after the final graduation celebration. my closest brother took one step too far off the diving board and closed his eyes before he knew someone was there to save him. the perspiration on my good friends lip caused me to turn away in fear of change and therefore abandonment. I'll leave this hometown in less than two weeks. Summer will be over and all its intoxicating breaths.

senior summer
Trace your thoughts slowly Across the moon’s lit Primrose, And ponder not on how she belongs to the Twilight. Linger not on the notions of Beauty’s Contrast… Of utter radiance amongst the Eventide— Lest you crave her Shadows. The unworthy swoon on false intoxications of allure, Betraying pheromones that lead only to Ruin. Breathe not in her presence and still your thoughts, which race ill-intended towards Premature release of longings— Unrequited. Dark Goddess of the Abyss Siren of Shadows Seeker of none, yet yearned by All. Accursed Aphrodite Preternatural Persephone Devourer of Darkfall, Merciless Maven of moon-drunk men Who quake with trepidation Under the pressure of your Wrath. Know that your fleeting fury fuels Fiery passions. Fulfills my need to know you If only briefly. Shall I caress legendary layered labyrinths Of thou’s lucid lithe mind? Soothe seared sacred chambers Of thine frostbitten Heart? Beautiful forlorn creature you are To only be seen for Carnality’s Delight. Know that I perceive you. Past Ethereal Elegance Beyond the bonds of Crescent Shackles. Embodiment of Evanescent Evenings Impermanence intertwined in Insufferable aching… Understand that your Acrimony is Admired. This altruism All-encompassing. Allow me to detect deformities Deep within Defenses Deterred— Hollow conclaves concealing Corrugated corrupted Compliance. Humor my heartfelt hubris… Humble yourself before this Haunted man. Entreat, Embrace, Entrust This harrowed human husk With an ounce of your Obsidian Opulence. I proclaim to pronounce you as my Pessimistic Paramour. To never underestimate Our most unholy Union. To know that you belong to the Night Sky And must be unbound… Understand my ululating plea, To adore your admonishing Yet never resign to its False Adherence.

her words laid out before me like a feast of the fanciful mind and her inner demons like ravens of the soiled soul hold themselves at the ready with wary eyes her words spill in slow honey smooth on the minds tongue and leaves an aftertaste like mull wine leaves one lightheaded and without inhibition i become a drunkard of her thought forever lounging near her lips in my mind waiting for the intoxications to begin my own words come like the unshaven behemoth like the fair maidens foul brother my conversation a meal with dance of the clumsy attempt each step has a sticky note of scrawled apology attached like new lovers trying too hard being overly tender with eachothers words her heart has spoken its mind and she feels childish recanting its written in stone meanings so she follows silently behind with her head hanging low trying to be picture perfect in the pliant girlfriend role the inner demons like ravens of my own soiled soul each moment spent like a misers coin harpie fingers oiled grip on the narrow metal slipping ever so slowly past the eye each day i sit here and watch as the sun settles like dust onto the deadpan horizon each day i pray fervently that i find a better phrase than the one i live

pages of the moment
I think i want to do something good to you Something nice something to show i care I think i may even say i love you I never meant it i guess that is just ok But do not be restrained i am actually quite good I may be super toxic But i am addictive too My soul means no real harm my intentions are real pure My love is never ending there is nothing it can't cure My senseless intoxications Are just part of a the journey you may embark Don't be afraid to show your insides I can't promise i don't bite

Cynicism
HOW DARE YOU YOU ******* WHO ARE YOU TO HAVE FEELINGS He likes to pull out his heart from time time to time He looks at it and weeps as it beats silent and the world turns He kicks me when I'm down leaving calico purple patches He tries to rip apart the one who brought him here But for us both he mostly settles for the words He doesn't care until we wrestle his heart out of him Then he ******* cries like he's sensitive GROW THE HELL UP THE REST OF US HAVE The Trial Run is trying to separate herself from the intoxications brought by men but stumbles down the sidewalk home... I stopped pounding my words into his back because he doesn't have time to be broken by me anymore... The Elder creates his faux world because everyone but me has exiled him out of the real one... The Proper splits and I watch it happen to him as it happened to me, still happens, angels and demons we hide inside... The Child runs after the **** ups seeing rainbows but devoid of color because he think's that's what age means...

I may or may not be slightly unhinged at the moment
A wasted body, but not from intoxications. Poisoned and ****** Losing life, and good intentions. Stained black lungs, From the words of another's mouth. Breathing like a bad song. Not having a single doubt.

Lifeless
Why do nice people end in life’s rat race, last? A thrown out contents into the cold soul’s dump? Hence, becoming a forgotten and recycled soul In which those who cast such out, did not remember of the light In them, until the cost has been cast? Why is a bright future so much of a Horder’s dream in which they can corrupt and or steal such soul’s energies, for their greed? Take such a warning. You , the hoarder shall drown in despair’s ocean ,once your guilt has never been needed. Drown if you must, in such intoxications. For your end will always be the cost of the lust for the brighter. Their legends shall live , forever, as fighters. For ,as the much stronger and brighter beings ,shall laugh at your new infatuation. We learn, ever so quickly, those false actors of “the nice.” As our cold and knowing states, of how you took our Conrad’s in the greedful , shall never get a listen. As our ears-closed, when they were living and bright, as our eyes glare shall freeze your fuel and sick soul’s to solid,freezing ice.

Ice
My fingers trace the softest of sensations, gentle fogs tinted in poison ivy I can't help but think of the times you bring  me back, I was misconstrued but the smell of your clothing always wakes me up again I called it choking on the sweetest of intoxications, You call it breathing, living, and I cannot agree more with that The walls twist with an agony we turned away from, Smothered in admiration, bruised in the spin of need Nature caressed my skin and told me that I bleed black, Disbelief was obscured until you brought me back, You always have a way of doing that, carving your own path It's amazing that you let me walk down it with you Your skin is like metal washed in rain, but always oh so tender The highest tower couldn't keep the struggle away from you I always try my best to be the shield to keep you from the cold Your heart beats like a drum, a double manned marching band that I can hold within my fingers
