"lifelessly" poems
Dig the ground, Deeper & broader, Large enough to accommodate, And peacefully lay us, The commoners to rest, Without causing any disturbance, To the Clout-clad looters. Don't rest till you collapse lifelessly, Into the mud extracted for digging, Digging their trap deeper enough, Deeper enough for all the clout, 'Cause you wouldn't even want, Their zombies to be turn-out, Escaping out stark naked, Out in future to plight, ****** and blight, Pester and fester The future generation. Oh but do we not know, They will survive and flourish, Indian or Russian or American or British, The clout will always be there to suck/eat, **** blood and eat meatballs, Why they will survive, And why the civilians suffer isn't riddle.

Get Your Hoes Out And...
Mom, you look so pretty today as you lie there in sleep. All dressed up in your best dress, while I stand here and weep. I knew this day would come, but still, it’s hard to bear. Seeing the mom I love so much lifelessly lying there. It was you who gave me birth and taught me how to love. For your life and great example, I thank dear God above. There’s never been another in this world who could compare. Rest well my angel mother. I know you’re in God’s care.

Angel Mother
She sits there, frozen like a statue, fingers apart, typing on the running technology. Glossy eyes beneath her ever clear glasses, as I watched her I wonder, have we been consumed by lifeless objects? is this our future? Sitting lifelessly on the other consumer of our life, only moving to adjust her glasses, the girl sits there, eyes pierced into the ever quadrilateral brightness. The feeling of regret, it illuminated the vicinity from the sitting girl, yet I am doing the same, writing this poem.

The Sister I See
I am a puppet, Here are my strings. This one's for my mouth, And this one's for my wings. You can make me fly, Fly, O so high, in the sky, Till I die. You are in control, Just the way you like it I'm sure. Making me do tricks, Getting all of your sick kicks. You stand above me, With your fidgeting fingers. Making me dance around, To your favorite singers. Make me jump, Make me fly, Make me happy, Make me cry, Make me crazy, Make me high, Control where I look, With my eyes. I do your biding, Like it or not. I'm addicted to your control, Like some are to *** I feel like, It'll be this way till I die. Yet you drop some scissors, What are you trying to imply? But now I found the scissors, And you know what I'm going to do? Snip, Snip, Cut, Cut, And, TADA. I'M FREE FROM YOU. Although, I didn't really think this through... Because before I knew, It I fell to the floor. Like an overdosed, Ritalin ***** Lifelessly alone laying, On the ground. The only thing I hear, Is your fake laughing sound. So there I lay limb over limb, Not knowing where to go. Then to my dismay, You mange to cause me even more woe. For beside me, A new puppet takes my place. And your once gentle hand, Comes down on me, and I am erased. Now I think, I miss your strings. And all of your, Cute little things. I might have been a puppet, But I loved my master. Until she got bored, And caused this disaster. I loved a disaster, Which was my master. But what should I know? I am just a puppet.

Puppet
This has become more important. Lost in my dreams, lost in my mind. Blame onto me, I know the fault. Faulty lines, different views. I miss you. We are better apart, but only you know. It beats on, it beats on. Staring up, steaming, and breathing. No tears, it’s not you. It’s what you made me realize. Realize that I am not human. Shying away from what’s good, what’s right. Cowering lifelessly, withholding, complacent. Jellyfish, no brain. No soul. I’m a star, bright and spectacular. Only you, nocturnal and beautiful, stayed to see me. Once the sunlight broke, I was gone. Those nights, my brightness. Now I simmer alone.

Jellyfish
Hate was the darkness tied in thick frayed ropes smothered in kerosene swung over the biggest branch and wrapped around my throat while strangers pulled and tightened it. It was the match lit that **** fire. Their rage burned my skin while choking me out like a sadistic wrestler. It was branding and dismemberment. All those children remember it. It was little trinkets of remembrance, bits of flesh, and teeth Any part they could take of me before and after I hung lifelessly from the most convenient tree. But if you think this is just some case of dark skinned history Then check the news and you will see they are still lynching me.

Lynching An American Tradition
The first day was the longest Mornings were for ambrosia Nights were for castor oil Lying through teeth and tempting through lenses Purpose lost to the blind men Who learn to sleep in seclusion Visited rarely by saints and messiah fathers Learn through pain, Oh sweet little pea The second day was all too short Kindred, but misunderstood Sowing seeds and ripping up weeds Parading around town with roaring sorrow royalty Following scripts and playing parts For judges, elders, and "renegade" symbols Promises, popularity; it's all just a rusty mirage This place isn't for you, Oh sweet little pea The third day was spent in Dada Purgatory for insanity Whimsical, yes, but something was blatantly missing This place was rich with new color and null Vibrant, yet lifelessly powered by prescriptions No real substance, only mist-forms Bubbling broth in a surreal soup Don't get digested, Oh sweet little pea

Sweet Pea pt.1: End of Days
Not One Hours Rest, Moon Still Standing Nice and Tall Stars Still Hanging on, You Ride Hazily and Lazily to The City Train Station Seeing Faces, Seeing Slouched Shoulders, Seeing Tired Eyes all around you Waiting and Thinking of Home, Observing Yet Constantly Yawning In No Time You Are Propelled Forwards and Out Through the City Limits Metal Container Rattling, No Snooze Alarm for the Rising Sun The City Dissolves into the Back of Your Eyes as You Hit A Tunnel and Enter the Suburban Void Suddenly Fantastic Splotches of Greenery Drift into Sight, Dabs of Golden Light Float Like Dandelion Spores in The Air People Move Up and Down the Carriage Schizophrenically, Fidgeting, Never Considering Sitting Still, Not Even Once Please Just Look Out the Window Outside Battered Tree Trunks Lay Lifelessly in the Middle of Wondrous Sprawling Fields Clouds Ripple Insanely Throughout the Horizon, Livestock Enjoying Themselves While They Still Can What Follows This is a Series of Dilapidated Sheds and Abandoned Roads Leading Up into the Hills so Jagged They Must Have Been Cut by a One Single Colossal Breadknife

Not One Hours Rest
As candy thaws neath my tongue My eyes take dilation. I fall into an inception as I walk into a place where my tender age went... Then, I saw sevenths of an illusion Acidic iridescence Suffused in a type of dimension I was present. Bound to life's existence... Each and every Earth-bound object was formed by masked bodies that cradled each other. Lifelessly connected to one another. Expressing the same dainty love we are mad for... Jade orbs were absorbed by a topiary lord. Beating. Circulating. Captivating. Caught me devoted in all sorts of emotions. Repetition. Repetition. Sight distortion. Colors stacked on colors. I saw modulations. But they spoke to me in motions. I felt as if I was breathing this all before. And that I was anticipating on something that I could not get myself to ignore. Some moral. That I've been awakened for...     I was reverted back into a timeless age, where matters were forgave and where passions were seemliness. and because of awareness you become unable to love like a child when you abandon your innocence. So here's the message. "Seven is perfection." The eye to see life. Making a connection. Breathing Earth's affection.

Eye Candy
You could be my cancer, and for that I don't think I would mind you seem to find that peculiar so read closely line by line. My lungs don't matter much because I hardly breathe fresh air, and maybe my last breath I breathe could be our breath to share.   My skin please without it do not leave for after all it was you that told me true beauty lies beneath. Is there cancer of the eyes? If so please have them too, I would be ever so lucky if the last thing I saw was you. Cancer in my fingers? As malignant as all that came before creep into my feeling and let me feel your skin once more. If there is cancer in my arms I suppose it would be amputated, but that's okay because then it's yours forever and for that I would be elated. Sliding through my brain the cancer starts to spread leaving me worthless lying lifelessly in our once shared bed. Hardly a terrible fate since I spent my favorite moments there loving you so wildly as if having an affair. I could be making this up, but cancer of the heart would only make sense because you touched my heart one day and I've loved you ever since.

Cancer
There was the usual exchange of foul words and light shoving around, but then "Windy" rushed Billy and threw him down to the ground. He sat on Billy's chest pinning his arms down to the floor. He punched and smacked Billy's face. Each blow was more vicious than the one before. Billy called upon all of his strength that he could possibly muster and tried to work his 41 caliber out of his holster. "That's enough Windy! You're killing the kid!" some concerned bar room patrons did roar. A gunshot was heard. There wasn't a single spoken word as Frank "Windy" Cahill rolled lifelessly to the floor. Billy struggled to his feet. His bloodied face was so swollen he could barely see. His smoking gun was still clenched in his shaking hand. Congratulations Billy. Now look what you've done. You've gone and killed your very first man. Tales of this incident have been told far and wide from one extreme to the other, such as the merciless killer kid who gunned down the helpless blacksmith and then left the bar whistling without a care or bother, but eye witnesses attest that the first version describes it best and that the following quote seems most accurate and right. "I never saw no killer. I saw a scared beat up boy run out of the cantina that night."

05. Coming Attractions - Congratulations Billy
Somewhere stuck between the line bordering faith and reality, there is a girl. A girl to whom there is no such thing as five thirty in the morning. There are only beginnings, fresh grass, and mugs of hot chocolate. She doesn’t seem to know what it means to drag your feet or to lifelessly slide your toothbrush’s bristles against the cracks and crevices of your teeth, wishing you were already at the end of the day when it had only just begun. To her, every printed word is spoken. She can hear the pages breathe and her heart sings whenever another character enters, because for her it means one more person to love which is something she never seems to run out of. It is why her eyes dance and roses grow ‘round her face, it is why gladness pours out from her fingers as they glide across ivory keys, it is why she sprinkles her words with salt, why she refuses to let her city on a hill grow dim, why she believes that death is a new beginning, why her hope never wavers, why she won’t stop giving and giving and giving. Her faith shakes mountains, but sometimes, only the mountains know it because she gets frustrated, too. I’m here to tell her that she may not see it now, but the seeds have been growing in places she didn’t think possible. So continue to plant them with thrill and with wonder, as you live each day like it was the first. Don’t stop the water’s flow, and soon you will find yourself laughing at Doubt’s face, I don’t think you’ve ever seen Doubt’s face. You’ve been alive for three hundred and sixty five days more, but if growing up means losing the fireworks in your eyes and the beautiful thoughts that sprout from your mind then, I beg of you, don’t.

I'm a player, I'm the best. I've played you, her and the rest. That's what you thought. I proved you wrong when I opened my chest. You saw me with depth, an open heart. You gave me yours. It was open from the start. A heart hurt too many times. You told me you can't take another. A heart held together with vines. This was the tricky part. The first time in my life. I saw a future of treasure. A glimpse of this lady, my wife. I felt safe like I was where I needed to be. I promised my self I'd do you no harm. To cause you pain would be to cut off my own limb. I've been waiting all my life to find someone worthy to commit my life to. So I committed myself to you and you threw me away. You told me honestly what you wanted and needed. I gave it to you and more. But you were after what you had before. Cling to him with guilt. Cling to him till you rott. Cling to him lifelessly. Cling to him lovelessly. Cling to him endlessly. Until one day it all falls apart. You've proven untrustworthy. You've proven betrayal. You've proven sly words. You've used tears to get your way. You've promoted falses so fake. Gemini construct you might break. You've cheated. Me, him and your self from happiness.

Committed
Enjoying my evening stroll I catch a glimpse of beauty. Through a window and soft red light Tonight may be a fulfillment I detour through the yard Excited, and rock hard I peek into an open window Moving the curtain I begin to climb My heart is racing I should turn around Passed the table and up the stairs I see her reflection in a mirror slowly I creep to what I had peeped Her scent wafted in the air From the shower and her still wet hair Another step A creak she spots me, Startled, she screams I run to her Hand over her mouth Her naked fighting body flailing I slam my **** inside her pain surges from her ***** violently I pound away She stops her fighting and succumbs to my will Her limp catatonic body bounces lifelessly I release my self inside her Oh **** now what Was it worth it Oh yes Standing over her I contrive a plan To the kitchen I drag her My other mind does concur a butcher knife to slice her parts ...

A Luck Chance Killing
I bit my tongue so hard that it bled, but I never said a single word and there's a heavy weight that's on my neck it rolls lifelessly from the thoughts in my mind. I carry the burden of my aching head, full of thoughts that my mouth has not conquered and I don't have anyone to check to see if my mind is something they could find. My lips stay sealed completely locking my words in my own head, and I think I may have thrown away the key, for my words refuse to escape me.

Sometimes I wonder if there is any line between poetry and prose, or prose and story. Where is this line? What is the difference? Is it some kind of structural difference? The problem with this is it becomes difficult to define where the structural lines are drawn. Is it some difference in the use of language? Anyone who has read Burroughs knows there is very little difference between his language in poem and prose. It all comes down to that old bald thought experiment. If we were to remove hairs from a man’s head, one by one, at what point would he be bald? It must be the context. This is a poem because it is presented as such. The thing about it is I don’t really give a **** The thing about it is that I’m just looking for something that I do not know. And I get a kick out of pretending And sometime something something I’m a little bit high now folks Because sometimes I need something too / all the time And Some might say that you can get a lot higher without drugs than with them But at this day and age that’s becoming less and less clear for most folks Including myself And that’s pure Thompson May the great decadent castle topple down! And I, like a noble captain, Will sink with her I stand with hunched broken back On the backs of millions Pondering lifelessly I smell something. I can’t really know what. It’s horrible. I do not know if it is me or someone around me. A woman in front of me has a dark line around the back of her neck. As if that crease her skin collected some errant dirt and she never washed it off. I don’t know but it may be her. Or I may be a son of a ***** because she is pretty fat. And that’s empirical. And I know it’s not her fault, but I may have some sick bias against fat women brought on by repeated social direction. I remember when I thought of myself as undesirable. I did not wash. And I didn’t shower yesterday. And really I don’t know if this line here on her neck is really dirt, but holy **** that smell. It’s killing me, and even distracting me from the gripping narrative of the American sedition laws during WW1. Honestly it is probably me, but why is it so persistent? Wouldn’t I fall victim to scent saturation blindness, or whatever that affect is called. The point is you can’t normally smell your own stink, and none of us even notice our own stink. I think there is something in that somewhere. I can’t smell my own stink, and so I blame this poor girl.

She’s afraid of reopening old wounds. Scared of feeling the burns beneath her skin. She’d rather feel consciously numb than ever have to confess her self-reflections, because she’s afraid rejection will leave her lifelessly alone.

Afraid
A leaf swooped down from my overgrown mane And embraced her lovely little frock-the hue of the rain. Day after day she basked in my warmth, and I in hers. The pages of a fairy tale flipped by tiny fingers. A leaf swooped down from my plentiful mane And embraced her long lustrous locks in vain. As they danced, she blushed; the wind began to hum. Prettier than my flowers young love did blossom. A leaf swooped down from my sparse mane And embraced their picnic spread- artistically lain. With adoration-filled eyes, she beamed at her kin. Twin infants danced around me; laughter and din. No leaves prevailed on my naked frame. Summer, spring, fall- were all now the same. Branches that once swayed and loved her like their own, Lay lifelessly still as they beheld her lonely gravestone.

remember the days when it all seemed so far away and we could drift lifelessly into a warm haze of blissfully amenity and pointless laughter. sippin' on pink lemonade, wearing bandanas and sandals, and daydreaming about when our lives might begin.

in the afternoon
I'm chasing your memory in my dreams only to discover I overslept. Fantasies far from fake kisses Causing cardiac arrest as I'm reluctantly reaching for a sense of reality that has simply wandered away willfully. Desperately dreaming of days spent running to no end. What a life.. Inconceivable love flowing from my fingertips only because I would rather show you how much I love you than speak it a million, Times I spent beautifully shaming myself for the restless nights praying for your call creating nocturnal patterns all for a taste of your kiss, Me one more time so I can prove this theory in my head is more than a theory; that it is true. Lifelessly lusting your love throughout the night causing me to delightfully dance in your arms, only to wake up to find your love has evaporated.

You're nothing but the ground I walk on, depending on the weather and seasons you could be the warm green grass tickling in between my toes Or you cold be the cold winter snow numbing me inside and out You're nothing but the clouds up in the sky Or maybe the stars Either way, you can never seem To stay too long. You're nothing but the winds in the air that pass through ever so briskly yet calmingly Always Leaving me breathless You're nothing but the christmas lights Filling houses with vibrant colors and happiness in december But its january now And the bulbs are burnt out But still they hang lifelessly And broken You're nothing but the flowers in a vase At first so beautiful With such a lovely aroma That look so pretty sitting out For everyone to look at And admire But now the petals have fallen off And the dead flowers hang down You're nothing but the waves in the ocean Always leaving Then coming back to crash down With intense force and power You're Nothing Yet, You're everything.

floating
a deep abyss awaits, with hues of blue and red above, as the horizon devours the sun, amidst the salt and sand, a fisherman melts into the stupor, of this serenity toxified, by smell of the exuberant waves while the red sun, slits the blue skies throat, the fisherman dreams of drowning, of kissing the waiting abyss, of floating lifelessly, in the ocean full of life, he dreams to return to his friend, to his father, to his deities, just to be reborn again, as a wave, as a kraken, as a breeze, that never dies.

A Fisherman's Dream
behind the shadow he follows the thief girl she didn't notice —of course she was afraid of dark —at first and the day came; the tanks were everywhere, airplanes high in the air, people were running, and she was hidding; in the shadow, where there's no light it was the time they finally met so he asked her   how was out there beyond the light she answered it was bad he shakes his head that's not the answer- describe it with your own words, describe it like it is your eyes who speaks. —he asked for the second time his eyes are full of curiousity her mind wonder to the event she saw just then the flash was everywhere— —she begin dark water covered the ground— —she continues it was all chaotic and awful— —then she told him all the stories soon the loud sound intruded them her eyes turns so dull she fell lifelessly he then saw the red flash on the ground —so he run he was no longer bound to the shadow, he doesn't even know how and soon he realise there's no more place to hide, neither in the light nor in the dark there's no more safe place and he run; now he's the guy with no shadow

Shadow
In a winding, twisted fate, The Brothel, I’ve tried to Escape, The sickening sounds of lips being ****** The horrid sounds of those being ****** The slaps of flesh o’er again, My mind, I cannot now defend, I hate every minute, every tick, This endless clock makes me sick, I dream of sleep that won’t ever come, I dream of the day I can run, Escape, Escape, Escape, I’ll carve it in myself, it should be my name, I’ve been mislead, indeed, I’ve been stolen, But these shallow romances so repulsively sodden, Have left thoughts so in mind forsaken, Of each *** and race, lifelessly forbidden The thought of leaving, This **** hotel is quite deceiving, I think of how it became Synonymous in its name, With “love" and a quenched thirst Of our lust and ****** rebirth, For this menagerie of psychopathy Is the disease among society, Eyes that I no longer look into as I speak Gaze into mine as they endeavor to seek My soul, laughable, they will not find, To their credit, it’s long since died, This wretched place holds me with no interest, And of how I came about, to be honest I’ve no recollection. No recognition Of anything here, nothing is alive, All that come, just for pleasure strive, Empty inside and dying within, I must Escape this place of boundless ruin.
