"lurking" poems
They ask me if I still love you. I blush, grin and say; of course. Why? Because your eyes are of the most utter ocean blue, but other days they're the currents of the stormy grey sea. I see a current of salty water, deep, once blue, but now a faded grey. I see a bundle of darkened grey clouds in the distance, and the thunder rumbles from your irises, and I hear it pound in the back of my mind. I wonder if you knew. I see a spark of lightening flash, only once in a while, while you look at her. My throat corrodes with bile. She says she sees green demons lurking in the depth of my own ocean currents, and I shrug. What am I supposed to say? I know you think about her. Night and day. The hardest part, is a generic, old saying. If you love them, you let them go. If they love you enough to stay, or to come back, you never let go. But you haven't come back.

Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two. Splash water on my face Now I'm presentable enough to the human race, current company probably won't be happy, But I ain't telling her, are you? Shave! You crazed? It is a three day weekend, Every day a July Fourth, Celebrating freedom from the European tyranny, Of shaving smooth  every day! Splash water on my head, count with me, Five brush strokes as you can plainly see Is a classic case of overcompensating In my geling n' hair stylin' Brush my teeth, well, I hope 2 full minutes of rinsing with  CVS Green stuff, mouthwash, will have to suffice. Blast my deodorant both sides, Long and strong, wearin' now My bold blue *** husk of musk, Cause I am a very considerate fellow Who happens to really have stunk. Clean T- shirt and shorts, Yes, clean underwear too, Leaves me a whole minute to write this scribble. My flip flop noises coming down the hallway, Are the butler announcing our joint arrival, Me and my poem. Lest you think this is paean to men Another grand male boast, Be advised this ditty be writty By a man who, while no longer gritty, Just put jelly on his scrambled eggs And ketchup on his toast! Mmmmmmm there might be a poem Lurking in that too...

Of ones heart with shadows lurking to take over spite is made precious to be felt exciting while it is in fact trecious, but a sleeping terror awakens at times as well, thus a rampage is made amongst it, A thrill wandering down your spine when you wrong someone and see them tremble through your actions a cold shiver followed by spite Choosing a carefree life, yet unable to hide the fact that no spark would be able to illuminate whats in your dark, where angels fear to tread, only to explore this loitering abyss within you for some time, All this blood lust must bring you to insanity, make you a lunatic, But let it happen, in this emotionless shell it's what feels majestic, The storm raging inside, waiting to feed on this caused chaos, Evil and vile, heartless not carrying a smile while mercilessly continuing this riot of a resented soul waiting, longing for destruction Feeling alike to be burning up, priceless about this act of cruelty until the wanted realisation drives its way into your soul and you question yourself what you have done, or why you have done it for anyway, But the time will come again for sure, so be ready for it to arrive When the sleeping terror awakens for another dance ~ Umi

The thrill of Spite
* [Part the First] There's some giddy, childish sensation The hope of a new generation Faceless cameras war for my voice A flashing ocean of stomps and shoves Taken from me is my choice Given is a false sense of love They smile too wide to be true Contorted and stretched, like some plastic But they're all I have before the blue So deep breaths, and then come dramatics People who pass me by Don't seem to realise The emptiness of the sky When they look into my eyes They ask: Is it lonely up in space? Is it a cold, abandoned place? Is it bright amongst the stars? Do you know who you really are? [Part the Second] My life has faded to drunken thoughts Reality doesn't confirm what can't be bought The multicoloured psychedelia Of nebula turning to rainbows Now looks more fake than ever And so my sanity goes There's a beast out there, lurking I'm not sure if it wants me But my hope is hiding, sulking From the abyss that can hear and see The worst way to die is alone Where there's no one who can help me As my punishment destroys my home At least, from my memory They screech: It's so lonely up in space It's a cold, abandoned place It's too bright amongst the stars I think I'm dreaming too far [Part the Third] The faintest echo of laughter Presents itself as my only answer It's distant, like someone drowning in ecstasy But it rings from the walls to my ears The effect of the starry-eyed seas Has mutated into whimpering fears I know I'm not amongst the stars anymore But the damage cannot be undone So I gave myself to the floor I could lie here, and never see the sun Space could've never actually existed Just a vivid fantasy of escape But my mind has been so twisted It must've been the cruelty of fate They wonder: Was it lonely up in space? Was it a cold, abandoned place? Will the stars ever forgive? Do I still have a life to live?

Creeping voices in the night Shadows lurking out of sight Haunt me till the morning's light No sleeping for me tonight Looking at my bedroom door My feet barely touch the floor Something whispers down my core Something that I can't ignore Melted candles in my hand Things I would not understand My hope slips away like sand This was not what I had planned Slowly walking down the stairs Feel a breeze sweep through my hair Shadows lurk; in silence stare Naked thoughts are all I wear Out of breath I walk outside Shaking fear that builds inside No more places left to hide Guilty thoughts of mine collide Drenched in coward's blood and fear I lost those who I held dear It's all blurred, nothing is clear Shadows from my past appear As the silence speaks to me Gets too loud it deafens me My past will not leave me be Pain and torment I foresee Dazed and drawn by these lost souls Broken thoughts I can't control Ghosts slip through this gaping hole Darkness has taken its toll From the darkness dreams come out Nightmares flailing all about Closing in, I hear them shout It's the end, I have no doubt "What the hell is it you want?" They retreat and me they taunt One emerges, tall and gaunt "Your life we will no more haunt." "You have paid for your wrongdoing," He tells me, his voice booming "This is now your redeeming You are free." he says smiling I look at the rising sun I no longer have to run My sentence is served and done The ghosts have finally gone.

Wake
The lion in the mist, in the morning sun, lurking. His eyes see you more than flesh, and without sound. He SEES you. your soul and... your intention. And he sits and he waits and he waves his tail, as you wander through his realm. He knows the lost, the feel, the cry. He had once been the wanderer just like you.

Le Lion
The form in which we live our lives Breeds in the midst of demon hives. For dogs do bark in senseless fright At shadows lurking in the night, And souls shiver at that unseen; Cathartic reasons not to dream. Voices whisper ideas, faux truths, That knowledge has no valid use. And when we hear, we do obey The voice that blocks the light of day. Lamplight dances against cave walls And childlike wonder slowly falls. Pavlov shakes his head in sadness, For we, indeed, are his madness. And Plato weeps within his cage For all his truths leave him in rage. Is all that we can ever see Vague words that tell us not to be?

Shadows on the Cave
If you stop stalking me, Then I can think clearly Maybe I'll have peace of mind. If you stop stalking me, Then I won't be talking to myself Maybe people won't call me crazy again. If you stop stalking me, Then I can go to sleep Maybe I won't wake with you staring If you stop stalking me, Then my doctor will know I'm sane Maybe I won't need my pills. Once I was filled with life, Now all I cause is strife If I could be the same, Then I'll stop stalking you. Maybe I won't be so lame. If I could sleep at night, Then I'll stop stalking you. Maybe I won't fear the light If dogs don't bark when I'm near, Then I'll stop stalking you. Maybe you won't shriek like a deer But I can't stop stalking you For I shall be stuck alone I can't stop stalking you Because I have no hope on my own I can't stop stalking you For no one will see me ever again When my time is due, Then I'll ease your pain I wouldn't stalk you If I'd died with ease And my flesh put to rest For my soul would be in peace And free from this torment And when you die Maybe you'll  find peace Then you won't feel my pain But until then, just like everyone else's I'll always be there Lurking  in the night Staring at night Your stalker and your bane

My stalker and I
Listening ears don't come easy Most come with mouths harbouring wagging tongues Pouncing on the chance to retell your story Exploiting your need to empty acrid lungs Listening ears, they're indeed very rare Unidentifiable no matter how well you know Lurking behind a mask of concern and care Sweet words employed so your cards you'd show Listening ears could be just a myth An idiom to quench the thirst to confide Listening ears sometimes come with fangs for teeth Hungering and lusting for your trust and pride Listening ear, oh why you come with a mouth so foul Why the cunning trickery and unscrupulous deceit Kindness as bait, when in fact you prowl Many none the wiser until they are bit Listening ear, in you I gave my trust I bared my innermost and gave my all Hoped that you'd soothe my ailing crust Instead you lifted me high only to watch me fall

Listening Ear
What you don't know, Is that I kept the letters because they give me butterflies when I feel bad, especially when I feel bad because of you, they sit on my dresser for times of need. What you don't know, Is that I look forward to your drunk calls because they remind me that you think about me when I'm not around, lately they've been lacking but I know I'm still lurking in your mind. What you don't know, Is that sometimes when I'm alone I still think of us, and what we used to have, what you're desperately trying to get back, but I push you away because I'm afraid of loss. What you don't know, Is that I'm afraid to tell you any of this because then you might find my weak points, and use them against me, then I would fall so hard so fast, and I cannot let myself do that, I must stay strong. But, What you don't know, Cannot hurt you, Can it?

Demons
I see you, monster... In your sockets bore dead, dark eyes They hold the blackest of stares Nebulous swirling pits of demise Thin lips would spout the most sibilant of hisses Every so often would curl into a snarl Dry and chapped, almost unworthy of kisses Large, rough snout, jutting out like a crag You sniff around tirelessly for easy targets Preying on the unsuspecting minds of those under your flag Tapering chin, sprouting strands of coarse hair Unkempt and gritty from your last meal Decaying teeth, crooked due to little to no care Your face is cratered; tales of trying adolescent years Wearing a face only a mother could love Expressionless but it screams out your fears Ugly jointed limbs that grew out of sync Disproportionate, misshapen, grotesque Little noggin with sparse hair, packed within, a brain that thinks I hear you, monster... As you stalk your sleepless nights Nocturnal ambience be your playground Lurking in the dark; places with no light Bulky, heavy feet but deft and silent Can barely notice when you're up and about As if cloaked yourself stealthy, with steps ever transient Respire you do, exhaling breaths so gnarly Ingesting good air, converting into fervid, loathsome notions With which you paint a portrait so ghastly I feel you monster... Deep within the recesses of my heart Destroying and distorting all that was pure Testing my will till I should fall apart You're but the twisted manifestation of conscience Feeding on my trials and nurturing them into vile abominations I despise that of you but I seem to have developed dependence I see you, monster... You're horrid and beastly, an embodiment of absolute horror I await the day that you would finally dissolve For I am weary of seeing you staring back in the mirror

The dark is a wonderful place It is beautiful and mysterious All of it's monsters sit there Lurking just as before Now though, in the dark I don't have to see the scary faces The shadows embrace me The silence, quite calming When all else fails and goes away The darkness always stays

*I was a princess. Long before the burden of knowledge -- before the reality of life plunged itself deep into me. Tea parties and ***** Gowns and pretty jewels, Braids and long lashes, We were the rulers of the kingdom. Walls constructed of plastic kept us safe, security from the barbarians that lurked outside. A magic mirror that warped and bent from age, from magic, to show your future, which was often a short fat lady. Thrones that swung back and forth, so that her majesty does not bore herself. We guarded our kingdom from the evil outside... but we forgot to check within our walls. At some age, we stopped guarding the plastic kingdom. We stopped looking for the monsters outside -- realizing they were lurking inside of us... whispering dark things. Now Aurora is sleeping off a hangover -- that beautiful face streaked with wet mascara maybe when she wakes up, everything will be better? Ella is hiding from loan sharks, wishing for a way out of the slums, hoping a rich man will sweep her off her feet. Ariel is running away from home changing her identity for her new boyfriend, desperate that no one will come between them. Snow is sleeping with several men -- mommy issues ran her out of town, now she's the walking herself to the abortion clinic. Princesses we were. Princesses we are. Princesses we will be.*

The lone wolf howls in the dark night, casting it's shadow over the pale moonlight. On the river banks, his prey, he silently stalks. Lurking by the trees, he, so quietly, walks. The innocent deer became unknowingly a prey. Targeted by the wolf, who lives astray. Ready to strike, upon the deer her pounced. Letting out a growl, "Beware" he announced. Alas, he missed his only chance. The deer ran away in a single glance. The lone wolf whined on his unlucky loss, staring at the footprints on the soft moss. He retreated back to his hiding place. "Rest," he thought, "Rest for another chase"

The Lone Wolf
at the end of a hallway looking out the window at night there is a sense of coldness seeping through my warm blood going through me and taking over under the bed inside of your head is there a demon waiting? lurking through the cover of darkness stealthily destroying all sense of confidence where is the light? i can't find the switch i'm just reaching out into the dark a void filled with the unknown the present is all you know and maybe some of your past and your future is all that's unknown

Gold crown of Olympus, hair crown and Skin gown. First we throw our bodies at One another. Heaping piles of human soup. Bold maneuvers, hands and mouths and Boy meets girl lying down, on top, intertwined. Skittish moves on a tryst. Wet fingers of freshly Tendered infinite decibel pleasure screams. Streamers above a long rooting movement. Overture of Aphrodite. Sparkling, glitter woman, Legs pressed tightly to the chest, Loose appendages intertwined. Intersticed dactyls In rapture, soothing. Bodies build to one heart's beat. Two muses fused together. If I wasn't afraid I'd wake you up I'd slip on my shoes and make a tropical fruit fondue. Stage two: Ice cream lover's delight. Opus to brown sugar. To swimming again, a pursed lurking of lips In the academy of the pastoral commonwealth. We eat at our stations of the sublime. Today which was A day of discord- you nursed me back to the land of the living. Stage three: *** Stage four. *** Stage five: As we earn our pageantry to take Stride on this Earth, and string a Great bow of eager success among all of us, You, me, them. While I continue to Gaze at you. If not dinner, perhaps a Cup of tea instead.

The Stages of Sleep
°••°••°••° °•°◇°•° There are no Monsters here... this, the abandoned soft, fertile soil, that was to feed the Family Gardens. No evil creatures, lurking behind these timid hurting hearts. a painful place... this invasive, pervasive, clusterfuck of Us . Here lay The raw, The ragged mashed up mis-understandings. An onslaught of hurts, that float and fester in our cauldron of tears. 'Canvas of Colors' tells Our story... Melding together The frozen and unthawed moments of all the Precious Forever Embraces There are no Monsters here We are the tender beings that continue to breathe ragged after the forest fire, tripping through Crumbling Ashes turned wet black. Dank and slippery. Yearning to find strong footing amongst these ruins of our own doing No evil creatures, lurking behind these timid hurting hearts There are no Monters here

The day is quiet is given to the sun. Pop in the night every miniute is people's time. I look up in the sky but missing a star. Maybe it's lurking in the sweet breeze.

Darkness, it falls like a massive leaden shroud Over this quiet valley as the dusk  infects the sky Pleasant faces fade into the shadows of the night As the demons of the dead and dreaming come on out to play Howling at the moon Swarming through the streets Lurking in the shadows On this night of Halloween Carve the faces, light the candles Offerings must be made In the cold October moonlight To the Phantoms of Samhain If you fail If these ghouls are not appeased You will be... Taken by the spirits of the dead!!! The Tempter's Chosen And kin to the Grim Reaper Children of the Darkest Night Steal mortal souls to feast on Ghastly transformations Amidst accursed corpses We are possessed by the evil of tonight's demonic forces! Carve the faces, light the candles Offerings must be made In the cold October moonlight To the Phantoms of Samhain If you fail If these ghouls are not appeased You will be... Taken by the spirits of the dead!!! By the light of the orange moon In the dark of the purple night We linger in these shadows And wait there, until the time is right... On this night of Halloween We roam your city streets And among the masks of plastic We can finally be free So carve those faces, light your candles Offerings still must be made In the cold October moonlight To us Phantoms of Samhain And if you do not heed these words And refuse these simple deeds Well then, my friend You will be, Taken by the spirits of the dead! And if you do not heed these words And refuse these simple deeds Well then, My friend, you will be Taken ... Taken to the grave! Taken... Taken far away! Taken... Taken by we, the Phantoms of Samhain!!!

Why do you do this? Your Army of Nothings Who lay in the sun and are all but sweet who swelter and sweat in that fresh cut grass mowed by a man you can't hope to know. And you, you there, with the grin Who's side are you on anyway? What made you the prince of the Army of Nothings; The leader, the first in command. You spout and you spit that ******** and bare your teeth at me like you're the bomb dot com You're such a disgrace. parading around with your head up your *** "So what's new?" Oh, shut up, You can't even fill out your pants. Why should I care for you, why should I feel? How will I ever come home? Where welcoming words and magical treasure, and stories that never come true but are good. Where futures of light once reigned so supreme I swore they would never run dry. I thought you'd missed out, you know, then and there, of the life that we talked of in dreams. No flowers and chocolates, no diamond rings, just love. Made of stuff so much deeper and denser and finer and lovely, and warm, and alive... But it's over, and done. and I can't have it back. So I go on avoiding the Army of Nothings as they come marching in marching in one two, at the ready I feel deep in my bones that breaking and tearing Help me, archangel! Save me! You promised! You said you would always be there in that carved-out big apple our home, once upon when we laughed and were happy and good. But goodness runs out. You made that as clear as a crystal that needs to be smashed. And I did that, remember? I left it all broken and you were so proud So proud I had chosen the right over wrong. yet you overlook all the splinters of glass all there all here all lurking in me. I don't want to cry or beg or to fight But I loved you in ways that she found unacceptable? So silly, so stupid, so big that it keeps you away *Not that I care very much For your army of nothings or things that remind me of memories gone with the wind* But I do.

Hometown boys today aren’t like the ones my grandmother remembers. Back then they looked like decent folk. Hair combed, pants the right size, always greeting with “Excuse me, miss.” But today, most of them ain’t worth your while. Standing in shadows, lurking by the train stations. Looking like criminals. There’s no formality or decency with these boys. “Hey, girl! Where you goin’?” M’ name ain’t girl. You aren’t supposed to answer these kind. “Hey! You hear me talkin’a you?” These are the kind of men who you’re supposed to run from. So relaxed and limp like snakes. Not a care in the world. Up on their high horses when they can’t even find the **** saddle. Who the hell do they think they are? Hometown boys ain’t nothing like they were decades ago. The kind you bring home to meet your mama and your sister. The kind that bring sunflowers on Sundays. The kind that call you late at night just to see if you made it home safe and sound. The kind that sadly go unnoticed today. So few of them left. So few of the sweet old-fashioned boys. The kind that never call you ‘gull’. They don’t come out much these days. Probably looked at all the other hometown boys and decided to throw in the towel and stay home. Pity.

Hometown Boys
The world is my canvas, I am the rainbow that illuminates it. My colors fill the open spaces surrounding me. I see beauty with my eyes closed, I speak my wisest words without a strain in my vocal cords, I lead an army with no weapons. I speak when I am not spoken to. I create Unity and destroy resentment. A man I once bought dinner for had a body filled with darkness , I met his lurking shadow before I was introduced to his warm soul. "I can't make it another day" "this is no longer a game that I can play" "I want to break away from my fate" "3 big macs and a bottle of ***** that will help me think straight" "I have this hole in my heart but its feeling more like a never ending weight" his overused cardboard sign hung off of the side of his garbage filled shopping cart. his fingertips froze against my palm we talked about his life his brother and mom their drug addictions and how he has survived so long, he was 32 with no home. he understood life in only one tone. i feed, I listen, I speak influential truth. what I said to him, through my guitar callused hands, saved his delicate life. Purple vibrated through his toxic chest. Purple. the color of wealth power creativity, independence dignity and wisdom. purple filled His veins. My weaponless army will proceed to expand. and my soul will always be available for helping hands, my guidance will forever lurk in the dangerous shadows, I will speak when I am not spoken to because speaking out of turn saves souls. and one day, everyone's soul will drown in purple.

*At day you can’t see them, because they are nowhere to be found. But when the light is out, they head to the empty playground. For while you are surrounded by walls, in your bed dreaming. This is the place where their childish hearts are pretending to be beating. The seeker is covering their eyes while counting loudly to ten. Here they get the chance to play their favorite games once again. Fighting carelessly over plastic toys and digging in the damp sand. It looks like a lively place to be, instead of yet another wasteland. They are hiding in the trees, giggling. Who can climb all the way to the top? Tiny hands are holding on to each other, spinning around until they almost throw up. Going down the rusty red slide: some are going fast, others nice and slow. And if they hear you coming, they’ll be gone like the first flake of snow. Far away, you might hear a familiar sound of squeaking swings. Laughter is echoing through the night, carried into the town by bird wings. They are trying to evade being captured, while running in a green ocean of clover. But the sun is lurking in the dawn; soon their fun and games will be over.*

The Dead Children’s Playground
My thoughts screaming out loud... **** me daddy... I need it bad, I want it, I crave it like a sin waiting to be unfolded inbetween my thighs where wetness needs to be explored. You seem like trouble, temptation that I can’t help but have no control over. Teasing you senselessly and wondering why I seem to have such an effect on people. My eroticism speaks millions of sensual nightmares waiting to be unraveled and seeked upon. My curtains are shaking and trembling waiting for pleasure to be evoked. I scream to loudly on the inside wanting to lock away this part of me. My ****** and ****** nature got me in bad spaces in the past, locking and hiding away that part of me for so long , I forgot what it felt to squirt... to feel drenched in your sweat, to leak forbidden sins... Calling me your **** I love it when you provoke me, wrap me, and hold me. It’s been a long time, I need a reminder of what it’s like to be bad again... I’ve been good, keeping my habits controlled. I want to feel you and **** you so bad it’s driving a drill through my chaotic sinful mind. My words so raw and unfiltered, I need it bad... Daddy, punish me for all that I have sinned... Don’t forgive me, kiss me harder and penetrate deeper into my mind. **** me with your words then show me what a bad baby I’ve been.... The devils ****** monster is lurking within, waiting for a sign.... Hungry and seductively parched. Bring out my demon and allow her to drive you ****** insane...
