"mindlessly" poems
Before I begin, allow me to explain, I too loved.. once, so think of me not as some cynic- nor as a master in the ways of love- but rather as a keen observer- now, that may mean I have nothing to offer you- no insider knowledge- no secrets of love- But I do  know how to tell a true love story - Interested? Fantastic- So let’s begin, True love, if there is such a thing at all, is like the thread that makes the cloth you can’t tease it out- you can’t extract meaning- without ending up deeper in the web- and it always remains- hidden under layers - In the end, that’s all you can really say about any True love story- They don’t generalize- They don’t analyze- They arent found- They just… happen. and that’s what makes them “true.” But what is this coveted “love” - the emotion?- the act?- the mentality?- Love, is a constant state of illusionment- A collective agreement amongst humans- that it, whatever it may be,  can be treated as an excuse for recklessness, irrationality, and misplaced strife-   A quid pro quo  between two individuals- to agree that they are doing something- anything- other than mindlessly drudging through life- Now that is not to say that what love creates is pointless- I said before, I have felt the embrace of love Love festers between individuals for so long it has no option- but to mould the physical to itself- and alter our personalities- Characterized by spontaneity- by indulgence- by risk- to love is the most dangerous experience in existence- the act of being fully vulnerable with another- while promising not to hurt them the same- Love is characterized by vulnerability- and the constant fear of being hurt- So you want to know how to write a true love story? be honest- dwell not on the “romantic” blindfolds that keep us irrationally seeking our partners- dwell not on the on the memories of a love that blossomed- reveal the core of love - A true love story comes from gut instinct- A true love story, comes from experience. A true love story, if truly told, makes the stomach believe So I said I loved once, allow me to elaborate- I too have felt the “butterfly stomach” - where the insides of the lovestruck turn on their host and manifests the emotional significance of meeting “the one” I too have spent the day daydreaming... -Lost in the thought of “the one”, seeking brief breaks from reality in my mind between moments of  utter normalcy I too have melted into a puddle of emotion…. -lying next to “the one” as we slowly spill more and more of the secrets that bound us as individuals, joining a spirit much larger than ourselves- I too have felt... invincible- -to know that I’ve found something more significant than myself. Something that replaces the fear of the future.. and makes it something to look forward to. Yes, I too have fallen in love. and I did just that- I fell. ..And that is my true love story-

How to tell a *true* love story
Before I begin, allow me to explain, I too loved.. once, so think of me not as some cynic- nor as a master in the ways of love- but rather as a keen observer- now, that may mean I have nothing to offer you- no insider knowledge- no secrets of love- But I do  know how to tell a true love story - Interested?

Sleeplessness Brought to you by sparkling espresso in a can I have underestimated you yet again, oh humble coffee bean But back to work Eight tabs open, going back and forth It's nothing short of a miracle if any given task is given more than a minute of attention at a time Muscle spasms, trembling, fascinating Overwhelming urge to mindlessly flex the muscles I don't have Fake machissimo brought about by exhauation? Or the exhileration of having to complete 8 projects in a day While simultaneously trying to grasp a breaking down of my mind which hasn't happened since...forever Hmm These are the prime conditions to breed a taxing marathon of productivity Or a chain of costly impulsive decisions to perpetuate procrastination. Signs that someone is going crazy range from ****** to inability to stick to a single topic to excessive use of run on sentences "How meta, acknowledging your insanity deconstructs the very notion of it if you normalize it within yourself and just look as everyone else as crazy! Ha.ha." That made no sense, i don't think. I like using big words to make myself sound smart you can make anyone believe anything if you use big words also it scares those Hippopotomonstroesquipedaliophobixlcs Grumble grumble Good night/morning/whatever

Sleeplessness
Being homesick isn't about being away from home. It's being at home yet still feeling so empty and confused. Because what is home? Home is warmth and love. You could be at home, yet still feel like everything is crashing down. You could be away from home, and feel like you're having the time of your life. You could be lying on your couch, idly watching everything and everyone as they pass by. Mindlessly active, totally passive. Or maybe you're just homesick.

homesick
Life’s moments and happenings are like little thieves They don’t want any money They still take it Putting salt on cracked lips, stealing the warmth of a heart Sobs resonate in lonely halls Everything reeks Of lifeless dust Even darkness can’t fight them off Or push away the pain The cold, swift figures taste like hatred Longtime friend with the soul of a sister Offers a consoling embrace It bleeds good feelings Now they want our money Thieves aren’t fair, nor logical No rhyme No reason Life’s a poorly written song Bad music ***** The bold melody clashes With its vague accompaniment We didn’t want them so we welcomed them ‘There must be some way out of here’ Said the joker to the thief I don’t think there is any way out The precious tokens of life should be protected By an army of mindlessly trained children Who fall in love with the thieves Whose forgiving minds omit the fear Thieves call us easy We are forever sobbing Cries heard only by past selves and invisible belongings When we prove we are great And pass impassable tests Everything will return We aren’t capable of such feats Our memories sing us haunting songs We cry out with our salty lips And empty hearts Robbed of any motivation Robbed of any care Robbed of love

If i was her lover I would have *poetic *** in the ocean reciting poetry to her while I **** her mindlessly If i was her lover She would be the mermaid of the ocean Whom I am jealous to touch and while I am here wading wanting to make sweet love with its bride If only I was her lover I would whisper passions in her ear like waves whispering on the shores of her children The water of the sea, he chokes me surrounds me but i am having *poetic *** in the sea with she and i say to her, my lover "i met a mermaid out in the sea she came to me and *poetic *** she needs i grabbed her heart and laid inside her see i'm still a man who wants pleasure and poetry together i'm jealous of her lover yet i'm having *poetic *** with her in the ocean" My love moans groans let's me own her majestic bones and her ravaged soul is radiating with every ****** beckoning passion in this historic sensation so intense so loud so real and unreal and in her throes i hear water logging in my ear this moment here of me ******* my lover in the sea i guess that's why they call it ******* poetry.

Poetic ***
The man behind the **** He's evil I tell ya He will have you wrapped around his hideous fingers after the first hit He will drain your bank account Your beauty and common sense Then you'll be walking around mindlessly under his spell He will whisper things to you Telling you you're fine In reality You're ****** up and ****** up.

Man behind the ****
looking back, i’ve realized that in the moment i tend to be anxious and impatient and i don’t trust that everything will work itself out and i ache to know exactly what is waiting for me around the corner will i alter my circumstances or will my circumstances alter me? i mindlessly allow myself to become faithless and although i’ve overcome so many obstacles, my eyes become fixated on the present and i forget to take a step back and reflect on my past everyone always says, “don’t look back,” but i think it’s important to remember where you once stood and recognize how far you’ve come i know i’ve changed and i know i will continue to change so why at 2am on a monday night do i get stuck believing that things will always be the same?

hindsight bias
Slumming. Slumming around downtown. Slumming around downtown St. Paul. A broke high school student. A broke student with perpetual down time. A broken down senior student letting go of time. Slumming. Slumming down to Raspberry. Slumming down to Raspberry Island. Walking across the Mississippi River. The bridge had been raided. Marching. Marching down teal and raspberry stairs. Icycle nose hairs. Seeing my breath as my chest shivers. I found my heart trapped under the solid river. Teenagers ******** about freshmen that got the bridge raided, Teenagers ******** about artists they've always hated and artists ******** about things they've created. Underagers slowly letting out smoke. Underagers letting out what keeps their lungs beating. Underagers slowly letting out steam, cheating. Me. letting out smoke that came from the ice. Smoke of below zero temperature, freezing my insides. Mindless. Mindlessly walking. Mindlessly walking through endless skyways. Mindless. Mindlessly talking. Mindlessly talking about things I don't remember. Until we've arrived at We-Be-Smokin'. Huddling. Huddling in a group. Admiring the art that claimed the spot before we did. Scuttling. Feet scuttling. Feet scuttling in place to outrun the cold. Reminiscing of months before when I was sitting alone in Starbucks with my venti white chocolate mocha listening to crazy George yell at his imaginary wife. Not being bothered. Not being cold.

Raspberry Island
Running. Across the open green, Mindlessly chasing, to what would seem Like a pebble to this small world, Nobody that knew him, Could say his story was untold, Because I could love to tell it, Since I was two years old. Every Saturday morning, A stench filled the air, One that was as awakening, As a surprise that was so unfair. It was him, cooking while we remained sound asleep, It didn't really bother him, He was the provider of this keep. One won't realize what they have, Until it is gone, o so gone. He was the best dad, That words unspoken toward him, couldn't even fawn.

Unspoken
A demon masquerading as the almighty dollar; she is cunning, and she is tricky. She is beguiling, and she is illusory. Deceitful and avaricious, yet believers follow aimlessly. To have her in your possession is nothing like how it feels to be stripped of her. Those who succumb to her seduction are granted luxury and leisure; the pledge to idolize her mindlessly is engraved into our brains. Indigence, starvation; the deprivation of the green goddess is malicious. Free yourselves from the hold she has on you; from the worldly power she possesses.

The Green Goddess
These 4 years drove your memories away, but i never knew you'll make me write someday. "Love at first sight" exists,i knew then, I reminisce,12th April at dehradun railway station. I hopped down the train, whining children,seperating lovers loving families,pleading beggars i saw, Searching for coolie,my eyes glued on a boy,leaning on a pole, An absolute treat to eyes casted a spell on heart of metal. shapely body,white skinned, curly hair,lips like petal. Yellow t-shirt on the skin of gold, dimple-dipped chuckles,widened his charm fourfold. unsure,if it's just my eyes or it was him who resembled the Greek Gods. Talking over the phone,he burst into laughter His playful,lively voice husky deep baritone, bringing my dead senses alive. Mindlessly,I pictured us,together laughing profusely on a riverside. He raised his hands for adjusting his hair. I felt his fingers brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear. The morbid roar of trains , turned into the symphony of my heart. abruptly, breaking my spell called a girl from behind, long haired,beautiful,leapt at him, no sooner he grabbed her tight in his embrace. Mad Lovers,my heart soliloquised. and here came all my wishful thinking to an end. I turned and walked away a little heartbroken before i could win him,he was taken . You gave me nothing but trust me for those minutes i wanted to be your everything I scrumpulously stole those seconds from your life which still make me skip a beat. I'll think about you again after a  few days, for now,enough of nostalgia. and which ***** said, Love at first sight saves time?

Let me tell you the story of my death: Carving words on the bark of a tree A poem that means life to me. Glows through night, my soul delights!         *"Exist beyond my death, oh please...             So I could live in bliss at least."* But they cut the tree, so mindlessly Illegally. **** selfishly! In chainsaw, I was murdered.         *A massacre,       ... a massacre of my every being!!* I'm a ghost that forgot, the best in me Now writes relentlessly To relive the words, once killed in greed I found the "papers", the poems you lead... Then before me, is some piece of me they killed. I died a hero,

The sun rays hit my eyes waking me up from my good night's sleep I yawn, stretch my arms and jump out of bed. I look out the window, there're smiles and sunshine. I spend the day mindlessly staring at the sunshine. The sun rays hit my eyes waking me up from my good night's sleep I yawn, stretch my arms and jump out of bed. I look out the window, there're smiles and sunshine. I spend another day mindlessly staring at the sunshine. The sun rays hit my eyes waking me up from my sleep I yawn and crawl out of bed. I look out the window, there're smiles and sunshine. I spend the day pointlessly staring at the sunshine. The sun rays hit my eyes waking me up from my sleep I look out the window, there're smiles and sunshine. I close the curtains and go back to bed. The sound of rain splashing against my window wakes me up from my sleep. I open the curtains and look out the window. There's rain and sunshine. I look at the raindrops sliding down the window, drawn in by it's guilty pleasure. I'm woken up by thunder crashing down from the heavens. Startled, I look at my window: it's open. I look out the open window, it's pitch black for all the eye can see I mindlessly stare at the darkness as it creeps inside. I wake up and turn towards the window: there is no window. I go back to sleep. I don't wake up. I don't wake up. I don't wake up. I can't wake up.

Windows and Sunshine
Pollution of the mind is real. Our minds are cluttered with uselessness. Stories on the street repeated mindlessly. Words describe men and women as animals. We insult the person and demean the animal. We are no longer part of nature, unnatural we are. People are dumb as a donkey, wise as an owl. If a woman disagrees she is a ***** fights, a cat, she is. To be a good mother you have to be a hen. A man is built like a horse he is part of a stable. In times of slavery Black people were animal, soulless. Confusion between humans and animals caused by disconnection. Religions and Politics in ****** use rats to justify: hatred. Jews are told they are pigs, and drink blood. Blood and Pigs are forbidden in Judaism. Culturally socially we repeat mindlessly: slander. Our connection to the earth and animal is lost so is our humanity. Pollution of the earth causes pollution of the mind. The earth cleanses itself by fire and ice. The mind can also: freeze out these concepts these fallacies. Burn the words that are defamation and abomination. Do; yes do this to avoid the fires of hell. Soon, hell will freeze over and become heaven.

POLLUTION OF THE MIND
What's behind the Bright Red Door, is it all my dreams come true Is this where Time and Circumstances has secretly hidden you Did Circumstances steal you away before the light of day Keeping you confined, for reasons Time won't say Should I crack it open, take a peek, do I dare explore Do I even want to know the secrets of the Bright Red Door Maybe it's my lost childhood, that behind it is imprisoned Books read at bedtime, awake before the sun has risen Mud pies are made, fire flies chased and all my mistakes forgiven Before the division, when Happily Ever After was still envisioned Should I crack it open, take a peek, do I dare explore Do I even want to know the secrets of the Bright Red Door Wonder if it's my future there, right beyond that door I know my past, I know my present, both have left me floored Would it finally all work out, or the universe's fatal blow I'm still holding tightly on to hope, so do I really want to know Should I crack it open, take a peek, do I dare explore Do I even want to know the secrets of the Bright Red Door Standing in front of it, mindlessly wringing my hands Heart beats, that of a humming bird that never lands Skin on fire, as it turns white with the fear Hand shaking, turning cold as the **** comes near Should I crack it open, take a peek, do I dare explore Do I even want to know the secrets of the Bright Red Door If old dreams lie behind it, can't I simply dream anew If it's a lost childhood imprisoned, it's ok, with the years I grew If the future, shouldn't it remain unseen, leaving hope to grow For as mere humans we're ment to look forward, only to tomorrow I turn away from that Bright Red Door, temptation firmly resisted What does lie beyond, I'm sure is severely twisted ©Pauline Russell

He was the epitome of a loveless boy, and he knew it. In fact, that was what kept him restlessly awake most nights, especially on this particular evening. He glanced down at the dark mess of hair that was laid across his chest and listened to the soft emission of peaceful breathing slipping from the lips of the girl whose name he did not remember. For a second, he debated on searching the dark corners of his mind in an attempt to remember it, but he soon realized he never even bothered to ask. This disappointed him for one reason - it was another question mark that he had to add to the list of names that he kept pinned to the front of his brain. At the thought of this particular list, he felt sick, as though an ounce of regret had seeped into his stomach and spread like an infection and now threatened to rise like bile. He knew he needed to keep it down, so he leaned over his bed and wrapped his fingers around the neck of the glass bottle he kept hidden in the bed springs. He sat back up and slowly unscrewed the cap, his eyes mesmerized by the amber liquid that swirled around the bottom half like a whirlpool of gold. He brought the top to his lips and tipped it back, filling his mouth with the warmth of forgetfulness and feeling as it burned his throat like fire the entire way down. It instantly washed him clean of every bad memory he had done his best to forget for the past week. Every tear that every girl had shed on their knees in front of him, begging him to love them; every cigarette that he had chain-smoked on the rooftop of his apartment building in an effort to cloud these very memories (unsuccessfully); every streetlamp that he had found solace in as he walked the streets mindlessly at three am, searching for answers that never came to him. He closed his eyes and imagined the whiskey rising inside of him until it leaked into his lungs and filled them, drowning him. He held his breath, pondering how long it would take for him to go lifeless in this position. But the sudden stop in the rise and fall of his chest caused the female lying on it to stir in her sleep, draping her arm around him and pulling him even closer. He felt sick again so he took another sip. He knew that when he looked back on this evening, he wouldn't remember it, which was becoming a classic move on his part. In fact, his life had become nothing more than disconnected nights with nameless and faceless females and fire whiskey that filled all the empty space within him. And he wasn't sure how that had come to be, but he no longer cared enough to even attempt to figure it out.

He brought the top to his lips and tipped it back, filling his mouth with the warmth of forgetfulness and feeling as it burned his throat like fire the entire way down. It instantly washed him clean of every bad memory he had done his best to forget for the past week. Every tear that every girl had shed on their knees in front of him, begging him to love them; every cigarette that he had chain-smoked on the rooftop of his apartment building in an effort to cloud these very memories (unsuccessfully); every streetlamp that he had found solace in as he walked the streets mindlessly at three am, searching for answers that never came to him. He closed his eyes and imagined the whiskey rising inside of him until it leaked into his lungs and filled them, drowning him. He held his breath, pondering how long it would take for him to go lifeless in this position. But the sudden stop in the rise and fall of his chest caused the female lying on it to stir in her sleep, draping her arm around him and pulling him even closer. He felt sick again so he took another sip. He knew that when he looked back on this evening, he wouldn't remember it, which was becoming a classic move on his part. In fact, his life had become nothing more than disconnected nights with nameless and faceless females and fire whiskey that filled all the empty space within him. And he wasn't sure how that had come to be, but he no longer cared enough to even attempt to figure it out.

In Her Feels Not Mine To Be
Give me your pain. You don't need to have it, Nor should you and you don't deserve it. Wipe your tears away, That cover your pretty face. Find that smile again. Your smile, you think. Well that is fake, But that's what I want to change. Give me your pain, Give me it all. Then you won't have to suffer, anymore. Think to your self. Not of your demons inside, But instead angelic thoughts. Your lying in bed, The covers over your head. Now softly have sweet dreams. Waking up in the morning, You wash your face. Now start the day with joy. Give me your pain, I say once again. I'll hide it away from you. You don't need to weep, Your thoughts not too deep, If you just give your pain to me. There's no need for you, To be on your knees. Next wipe the dirt from the floor. Pour yourself a drink, Very mindlessly. You don't need to be careful anymore. Give me your pain, Is what I say everyday. I don't want to be ignored. Guys, give me your pain! This is what i think and want. I don't want you or anyone, to suffer from your thoughts. So give me your pain. I don't have much, but I want a whole lot more. I'd brace a smile, everyday, to free you from this mess. Give me your pain, I whisper to you. I am not asking but demanding. I will not accept you saying no, so don't deny me again. Instead, the thing you can do, is give me your pain now.

Give me your pain
In school they always tell you to be nice But as you get older that doesn't suffice You’re forced to join the rat race Get blood on your hands and dirt on your face You’re compelled to live up to societies expectations Make time for your disingenuous relations While you’re spoon fed meaningless entertainment Where did I sign up for this ****** arrangement? Now as I’m writing this I’m entering the abyss Of my own personal doom While those around me mindlessly consume

Sunday Ink Stains
We see it As a victory Of the human spirit, Tales of glory That makes us proud. But it’s a pity She’s denuded bare, Ravaged her virginity, And up there There’s a crowd. The height is made to pale, They’re dwarfing the peak, Adventurers on glory’s trail Litter the path they scale. We take it as a test Of man’s superior might That would not rest Till it scales the greatest height. But the mountain is no more clean, Tons of wastes scar its air, She’s turned into a dustbin By the crowd going up there. Should we feel proud, And not hear the warning bell, As the mountain is trodden like hell By the mindlessly adventuring crowd?

Here’s the thing about moments; we don’t take the time to appreciate them until they are over -like that brief second when he pushes your hair away from your face mindlessly while lying down -like that small amount of time when you’re laughing so hard you’re crying making fun of one another -like that instant your eyes meet in a crowd full of strangers and you both smile ever so softly -like that fleeting flash where his hand grips your knee without thought in the car on the way to the grocery store -like that short minute where he without a care in the world accidentally tells you that he loves you for the first time and you cannot breathe Love is a series of moments we seemingly take for granted, if only we knew how special those moments were as we were in them
