"lubricated" poems
I remember the way the alcohol lubricated our words to each other and she told me those three poisonous words: "I love you" Except she added my name to the end to make sure I knew how important it was. "You're the only person I've said that to," She told me that night as we parted ways The next day she told me that it didn't count and that she was being dramatic and I remained in place amongst those who function better as shadows, withering under her light, hoping to hear the meaningless words again.

A Sad One Before I Go
Whisky breath and cold sweat stench fill this room as there are fewer hours till work than will sober me up. One last cigarette One more affirmation To keep the promises we will slumber past their breaking point Class can wait Work can wait Life waits for none I wait For life to Become More than cycle Of light and dark Of stagnant art And stagnant words That still drip From the corners Of my ethyl lubricated Mouth. That still pool in Your soul as You drift to sleep Goodnights said to every Underage youth now Napping away Morning rush.

Work Memo I
Seven years I lived my life, fading from reality. Crossing into machinery. Robotics with which I am so unfamiliar. Machined, greased, lubricated parts. Built with a purpose. A meaningless purpose. Destined for failure. A broken down machine I stand. Sit. Lay. Run. Work. Play. Slide. Cursed and wretched as the demons which haunt the dreams of the fallen. I rise above. Skyrocketing through reason. Through the seventh layer of Heaven and Hell. On a false sense of cloud nine I currently float…awaiting the plummet. Its falling away from me. I sail through a shattered sea of broken glass. I closed my eyes and the tears could not flow. Blocked by my eyelids, restricting emotion. After all of this, I am amazed. The wall could be broken. Forgotten faded memories of which I have no say. Of past. Of present. Of gifts. Of futures. Of lists. Lists of black. Hit lists in my head. I live in my head. I am not what I wish. I am what I’m not. I am what I dream. A scream. A cry. Laying here, blank as the page on which I cannot create a scene. A scene behind my eyes, yet I cannot attain it on paper. These words flow meaninglessly, but not slow. Daedalus, Icarus, Thrice. Three times I roam. Randomized plains of thought, laid out on a digital page. Keys, not a pen. Ones and Zeros, not ink. Screens, not pages. Neat, not sloppy…yet my words do not understand one another… nor do I…. If we make the mainland, this song would not be made. Epic beauty, formed through misfortune and tragedy. Oh son…I beg you…keep a steady wing. For you are the only one who means anything to me. My wings are made of melting, shredding, fading elements. The sun, heating, lighting, someday dying. I understand that nothing is as it may seem. Nor is any seam as true as the seamstress believed. The Gods did not take the only thing which meant anything to you, father of legend. Your son is not dead…only afire. Acquired by the forces you believed to be merciful.

Too many expert voices lay a claim on your shape, You are either too full, or You have gone too far, Too many moulds get thrusted at your face, To some you resemble a pear, But they feel your should look more double cherry, And whichever fruit you succeed in turning into, You still, are a tad too hairy But then does anyone ever tell you, That sometimes ice cream will be the only answer And that is just fine? That a bedtime prayer can be enough night-time routine, Which needn't include expensive lotions and creams, That you need fats as well as you need protein, As also each little gift that Nature crafted lovingly For this marvel of a creation that is your Being- So that your skin is fed and living, And your knees are lubricated and sprightly, And your blood is rich and active, And your soul- No one will give you "How I brightened my soul in 4 weeks" tutorials, But you ought to set your happy soul-goals, A tummy rub in a sunny lawn on a lazy winter afternoon/ A drenching bath in heavy July rains/ A spontaneous poem effortlessly jotted down on a napkin Level-happy! And when you're that happy you will know That you aren't a cut-out on public display, Not a fruit, not a diet, not a fad that peaks and wanes, You are an everlasting uniqueness, You are an undefined shape, You are that collection of rare energies That only comes custom-made.

I have love for you Rooted in my jawbone Your secret perfume Convection heat in a back seat I want your thin fingers Tangled in the web of my ribs I want to lose you In the honeycombed purple layers of my heart tissue I will cradle your head on my sternum Letting my lungs do the work If only Your elbows were not so sharp Then I would crave the dig of your fingernails Your pastures of hair The butterfly tremble of your lips Speechless- words no longer hold the weight My tongue on the novel curves of your sigh Tasting the twenty summers of your growth Trembling due to lack of oxygen Trembling at the onset of lust The kneading want of knuckle bones Drawing me ever closer to the colors of light Static in the stereo of the Cerebral cortex Bunched nerves Shocked into submission By your bleached bone canines Open and breathe The quick pinch endocrine valves Releasing steam Drape me with your skin Wrap me up in your pulsing warm veins I bleed blue On every day of the week I am deafened By the rage of your heartbeat I am stricken dumb The symphony of your eyelids Swelling in my chest a familiar lust The wind from your eyelashes Could blow us out of this winter And right into spring All the days of the year I bleed blue The dedication of your palm On my cheek Warms me like a leaf in sunlight Peel me layer from layer You will find no lies in between the pages I am your machine Waiting to be properly lubricated I cannot wait for our first day under the sun I can't wait to get you out of the fluorescent lights Of the Assembly line We will journey together to forgotten realms And sleep beneath the strange constellations

Entering a world composed of surreal images My mind must twist itself into difficult yoga poses Attempting comprehension of the madness Black aprons meander in rhythmic gyrations Under harsh soul stealing luminescence Lubricated with coffee to perform Menial machinations miserably I am but a tourist On their macabre island full With nightmarish denizens Of this local purgatory The poet dreamt of no circle As dreadfully inhabited as this sinister strata Easily a septante of sins sordidly succumbed to by soulless citizens Apathetic arrogance masquerading as hospitality While decency and morality are assaulted According to the overlords abusive schedule I am struck mute with paralytic paranoia As I hurriedly set my offering upon the altar And search for exact change

O peaceful moon, shining gently o'er the fields, In your soft light I see a tree, a hedge, a glistening pond; And the soft night sounds of rustling reeds and swaying boughs Intermingle with the nightly warfare of a million creatures. But hark! From the new housing estate across the park There comes a rather different sound. Through an open window Comes the healthy thwack of flesh on flesh and muffled shrieks of joy As Isaac and Wendy Bumsenfotze indulge themselves un peu. Isaac's got his gasmask on, and his rubber flippers too And (speaking candidly) looks an unattractive proposition Especially now his skinny chest towers o'er his massive ******** All four mighty manly inches of it from tip to curlies. Lying trussed up on their bed, atop its needed rubber sheeting, Lies Sam, their well-trained patient pedigree crossbred donkey, Upon whose good-natured, hirsute, unsuspecting person Nameless atrocities have often been performed in Eros' name. What are they going to do tonight? I bet you'll never guess. Well, Wendy's strapped her ***** on and intends to use it first On Ikey's waiting well-lubricated back end And then it's Sam's turn and ***** the R.S.P.C.A. And while Sam is getting poked by loving Wendy, Old Ike will not be idle: camera-phone in one hand And mail-order sjambok in the other, he'll record Their motions and lacerate them both simultaneously. Underneath his gasmask, Isaac gets a bit sweaty and excited, And once their party's over all three will doze off: A truly lovely scene. But they will be soon by woken by The morning sun glittering on Wendy's cast-off legirons.

Perhaps I should take blame for not laying specifics. Or perhaps, for not in the moment doubting her loyalty and intervening. In the game of dares, she to kiss another, and, regardless of gender, not me. I had said before, "our physical embraces and emotional turmoil boiled into heated enamor stays in our love, our bond, our tie." I believed honestly that she would be wise enough or calm enough to say "No, I refuse it." I believed she loved me enough to know the boundary is real and that when I said, "No", I lacked sarcasm. Or, I was not open enough to list the specifics of what not to do and instead left too much open to her imagination. In that moment, as the group of friends were amazed at her polyamorous behavior lubricated with ***** the fog of the mind, and they laughed and sent cheers outward, I burned into the deepest rage humanly possible. For that split second, I debated leaving the party: but, I was drunk, and the drive wasn't worth such risk. I debated yelling: but it was her party to lead, not mine to destroy. Instead, I sat in self-loathing, hating myself so purely, but I couldn't bring myself to be mad at her, I don't think. Again, the fog was floating. I wanted to explode, but instead imploded. I wished for nothing but to leave, to drink more to forget, but instead I sit in rest without sleep, concentration, peace, but instead sit in pure hatred: of what? Not her, not the girl, but myself, for not doing enough, not mattering enough.

Too Mad for Patience: Too Patient for Madness
Deep sighs at day break Our heated surface no match for the inferno inside Raging for the ache of your dark touch Sweat slicks already lubricated flesh I curve into the muscled wall of your chest Closer I need it I need you Appalachia shadows criss cross fogged windows Penetrating stories written along their dewed edges I writhe beneath your whispers of "Come for me" Body bowed, tight like violin strings Played by expert, elegant fingers Shudder. Surrender The seat of my soul flooding with pleasure, with release Request granted

*so here he was stripped naked in his bedroom aloof lost in ****** imagination his mind swimming with thoughts of big **** curvy hips and long legs how they looked without impediment of clothing he pictured his engorged member between a lass thighs his wet tongue swirling around her ****** leaving a trail of warm saliva on the areola occasionally his head would swivel scanning the **** magazine he held on his left hand a cross scrutiny drawn all over the teenage face as if he was admiring Da Vinci's art the right hand lubricated with lotion stroked up and down in a rhythmic motion he was breathing hard as the hand performed self loving there was something about the ****** expression pleasure painted all over the contours of his flame: it was ecstasy but not in religious sense his eyelids would droop from time to time and the lustful smile would camouflage inner conflict the tempo of jacking increased and the magma started rising eyes still glued on the mag his body started to spasm it wasn't just a little twitchy ****** it was a volcano of pleasure that shook every inch of his skin the magazine fell he clutched the blanket and clenched his mouth shut he looked at his sloppy handful junk and thought guiltily what have i done......*

I have heard backhanded compliments, lubricated words, empty promises. Politics. Liquid crack In every corner store. It gets weirder, our government plotriffic thriller heavy on the story line. Nations’ history, strings of violence. Ancestors. Mocking my dreams shedding tears of joy, unlikely. Within my dreams, as one, we mourn together for that day, our way of life taken.

As I pass through the wish e washy Politics of my superficial mind The many false faces My eternal being remains Frustrated by the ineptitude Of my political , dishonest mind As my oceanic being is covered By a sheet of crusty cold ice The great masses in my being Feel disconnected and disillusioned By the elitist aspects of the Political mind who live on top But as I begin to feel my internal council A silence from within vibrates with As the many chattering politicians Scurry and busy themselves I begin to drop deeper, to know My many political shapes How I dream to know the many Characters of my political being As to understand the lawmakers In is to understand my life Where do I find the honest council And who are the corrupt lying voices That whisper in my ear and make Secret deals behind closed doors Far far away from my conscious mind Who is that mischievous characters Always causing trouble the black adder Although I do feel large and honest Politicians within my soul For they all sit around a long table That stretches from my solar plexus Up into my deep open chest Dressed in light blue I hear them Tirelessly working shuffling Their many papers Recording and studying making their Many decisions and communicating With all my many distant parts Finding a new intimacy with my self I unlock many doors within me As I search to please the Great masses within my soul On entering the outside world My being shuffles past the many Black adders with a chuckle As he begins to enjoy Their mischievous ways My political mind becomes Purified by the the emotional Depths of my being , as I am Infused with a deep ocean blue From my bottomless heart As my path in this world Becomes lubricated in a rich oily blue Like a giant blue whale I effortless glide And as I meet the other I stand Within my my golden heart As my depths live on the outside For I carry my heart on my sleave As I search for the other a thousand Golden streams from my heart Descend into me Penetrating all of me To find all my honesty As I seek to unlock the other By unlocking many doors in me The political mind can be mischievous But it can be a great servant When in touch with our deep blue depths And the golden threads leading to our heart

It isn't about *** The act of making love is not the steam For the stream is something more It is the capture of eyes The brush of knees Intertwining fingers And the comfortable silence It is being so close and yet unable to touch The heat building within bitten lips Knowing glances Bodies dancing without movement To the same record spinning in two heads In two separate places The steam is the promise of thought The what could be; The letting go My heart beats In patchwork patterns Stitched together by the spark in your eye It is the body temperature rising As you make me into a volcano Pressure building The lava in my veins My emotions pushing to the surface I am steam. You make me want to let go. We are careful with clockwork precision Trapped in routine like well oiled machines Steaming at the seams Waiting to break free The nuts and bolts loosening in the lubricated alcoholic air of freedom Though now is not the time to fall apart Yet to come together One glorious engine in motion Bellowing steam at the station Waiting To let go

The Octopi Jars by Michael R. Burch Long-vacant eyes now lodged in clear glass, a-swim with pale arms as delicate as angels'... you are beyond all hope of salvage now... and yet I would pause, no fear!, to once touch your arcane beaks... I, more alien than you to this imprismed world, notice, most of all, the scratches on the inside surfaces of your hermetic cells... and I remember documentaries of albino Houdinis slipping like wraiths over the walls of shipboard aquariums, slipping down decks' brine-lubricated planks, spilling jubilantly into the dark sea, parachuting through clouds of pallid ammonia... and I know now in life you were unlike me: your imprisonment was never voluntary. Originally published by Triplopia and The Poetic Musings of Sam Hudson.

The Octopi Jars
We're being faked out,taken out,shaken down, by skulduggery so rife in London town,and we wait for it,salivate for it,cant get enough of it, we even pray for it. Lubricated,down the pan and flushed away by 'the man',ending up or bending down,it's all the same to London town. Don't try to tell me,that this is right,or we should bite the bullet and accept our lot,it's a dot on the card when life is so hard that we have to stand and fight. The 'establishment' might not like us but those ******** in their close knit groups,storm troop us every day and take away our pride,chide us,ride us,grind us down,remould us,reminding us how cold it is when we can't afford to pay for heat don't let them beat you,defeat you,cheat you 'cause we'll get through and do them down. Life is like that, London town,it's krap It's going to snap to fall apart the streets will rise,the building's fall and down at Mansion house they'll call us **** well, that don't hurt a bit Let them **** on caviar and sip sauvignon at the trough, while poor men cough their lungs up, brung up,wrung out,strung up and finally thrown down, why would anyone want to live and try,have children who die in London town?

Job opportunities
my clockwork's not quite working right, but it's too late to fix me they can't see breaking from the outside, they only see I'm living. Moments; twitches, they told me I must be careful not to rip my stitches. Not yet turned to rust inside--- I've been waiting for the moment--- to join the glorified the few the beautiful the delicate souls who cry like mine those so filled up with life they died; too attached to the delicate sway of life to live to connected to the pulse of earth to give and walk about on two feet, called bipedal motion, supposedly coming about as our ancestors moved from arborreal terrain to grasslands, some millions of years ago... Science disects the tangible, but we've yet to find diamonds in our eyes that might cut what we cannot hold. And so we'll never understand our souls. If it has no bones can it break? can it shatter if you shake it too hard, will it fall off of its shelf? Is our soul collective, or only in the self. it's clockwork, pure clockwork we're wound up and allowed to wind down out understanding that gears might fracture misfire malfunction give out go backwards then perhaps even forwards again how tightly are you wound? or lubricated, my friend? could you use a helping hand? a smack to get you going the question's not where nor when nor how nor apparently even... whether our insides are showing. Break me down like clockwork, take me to a shop but they'll only shake their heads and tell you this models got no replacement parts best throw it away get a new one but I can't. This ticker's all I've got. it can't go backwards sideways or in circles but time travels and I'll work it until I drop
