The chatter makes me think, think
Think, think of the brink,
Of extinction,
Of my pain,
And our scars,
The world is pressing too far,
Hurting,
Discovering,
Totally uncovering,
The weaknesses of people who can't take care of themselves.
Those people who are crying out for help.
The kid hit by his momma,
The girl depressed from drama,
The kid starving in Africa,
The teen trafficked from Albania.
This world is cruel,
Totally uncool.
People think it's minuscule,
These real problems that people face,
Every god ****** ******* day.
White privilege is a real thing,
And sexism is an issue,
Homosexuality is not a miscue,
And the only person who can make change,
Is
You

Two-tone love affair
Ten a diamonds
A winning pair
River runs through my heart
And into yours
Without your love
I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be in a death crawl
Tail-spinning
Fall

Where are you
When you're
Not with me?

What can life be
But me
Missing thee?

What is two
Without it following
Three?

Life is a triangle - too many points
I'm no preacher  
I'm no God fearing man
Give me holy water and I'd drink it
He who acts first
Benefits

Lines on the walls
Paints peeling
Up down
Through and through
What's a lover gonna' do
Without their other?
What's a lover gonna' do
When they lose
Their summer?
What's a lover gonna' do
When the one they love
Has up and gone
And their forced
To find another?

Proud sister
Between clean sheets
Scent of
Chamomile tea an'
Sweet mysteries

There's blue smoke in my eyes
Exploding
Roaring
Bubble-wrapped
Surprise

Been alone
All
These years,
But who's to say
I even miss her
But me
Anymore?

I watched the wakes,
Their rise and fall.
The sun was up
In what seemed to be
A lazy crawl.

Lantern lady,
Mistress of the night:
Can you send me a letter?
Can you give me a call?
Can you stop on by and tell me that
The true know how to fight?

Another denial an'
I'm on the streets,
Passing Chinese cats adorn
Dusty window shades.

A far eye can say what was right
Or wrong,
But when two lover's drift apart
It's a splitting of the seas,
Where everything in between
Is downright and utter

Misery.

Last September,
When we came back
I made a pact
I'd take my crack
Of making what I make
Without self-consciousness, remorse,
Or loathing, but what is a man
When he tries to rid
Himself of necessary poisons.

I didn't know and I still don't.
And you know I still drink but lately
I have to hold my hand,
Still my bill for
What's good for the other
Is where my thoughts need to go
So with her I can see
The coming Winter snow.

When the voice has left,
I'll still
Have my hands.

Take my limbs, take my hair,
Take my muscles, oh' take eyes,
But as long as I got my fingers
An' two hands to reach for pride,
I'll never be silenced,
Even if
She's not near.

Don't think
I don't need her.

She's the wind through the branches,
The shells in my shoes,
The sun through the window,
Even if she acts sometimes
Like she's a wading widow.

Too many complexities in insecurities -
Too much subjective reasoning.

I'm not a man
To pin
Anything down.

All I can do is
Stay true,
Keep writing these
Prose filled

Miscue's.

Oh my love, don’t be a dove.
Don’t check on me on Facebook.
My posts and shouts, my wonder likes
Don’t check on me on Facebook
For on Facebook I lie
I do not share my deepest sighs
I don’t post them like my pies
for people to imply

On Facebook I don’t say how I think of you
like an unwanted miscue
I don’t say how I wish you’d be bolder
and forget why you’re colder

Alas, there’s no more to discuss
for you had made a pass
because you just checked on me on Facebook

In a world lined by lies, we look not to
hallow men but to; Crinkled white pages.

Engulfed by the smell of home and fluoresce.
Our heads swim with what can, could, and will be.
Those imaginary heroes become.

Us and we fight monsters made of concrete
text. And it ends every time we close the book.
But our hearts continue to beat with miscue

prose, to the tune of pink love-struck blushes.
Those fairy tales and happy endings bless
gifts to those scared of their reality.

When our hands touch paper spines we blossom
Our minds unfold and become meadowsweet;
Flowers of yellow and green on a brook.

Through little black lines we see life and death,
tame worlds of dragons with words with whispered words,
and grow beyond the boundaries of literature

inspiring us to wear our own armor.
The truth to the lie of fiction allows
it to become far more truer than truth.

fifteen hundred Starbucks shuttered
by a maintenance miscue.
How will I face this morning
without their bitter brew.
Their water filter system
was due for an overhaul.
Now this forced decaffeination
has me climbing up the walls.
Where's my choc o-mocha latte,
topped with whipped cream
cooled with skim?
Without those extra calories
I'll soon be down a chin.
I miss my blonde barrista, Jill.
and her great good morning smile.
Rakeesh at Dunkin Donuts'
lacks her figure and her style.
I'm reduced to getting coffee
from a roadside hot dog stand.
why he doesn't have free WI-fi
I'm at a loss to understand.
1500 Starbucks locations were closed this morning due to problems with planned maintenace on their water filter systems. chaos ensues.

when Noah told god,
He, was gonna save the world,
from his **** flood
(the sorry storybook, in fact, got it wrong),
god mystified, Noah well versified
how he was agonna do it,
the man with the plan
how to salve the world


two by two,
Noah replied, and that's not lied,
see below, see below,
two poems,
sorta side by side,
but not

                        

read down, across, whichever

One                 Two
           starts two,                   is multiplication,
one X two                    equals two
one boy                     one girl,
or girl                       whatever,
needs you,                       one boy
get a room,                     in an arc.
everybody just get a room
            no god,                           universal remote
one tongue,                    inside you,
misinformation,              miscue negation,
miscommunication,       no care about divides,  
                         miscegenation,                           the house rules,                    
black asian even,           white, red and blue.
got wolves,                     deer, making hay
got The Eagles,              with The Beatles
sleeping with the,          gone feral, loving
zebras,                           the lambs,
bunk mates,                  making the cutest babies.
everybody's singing,    we can work it out  
even the cats,               the dogs,
lovers of the K-nine,     loving them feline sea lions,
and now everybody loves the snakes for their
long tongues, physical abilities and the resulting
****** prowess.


enough of this two by two ****, were a bad divinity idea
to begin with.  Everybody get a room, learn to fit,
whatever parts you got, just stick 'em in.

The Hunans I had to segregate, cause they be another type.

but whoopee if the white boys can't get enough black love,
the asians explaining the karma sutra and the Eskimos are curling their toes,
yada yada how come when it comes to ***, everbody loves the other side.
When all were aboard, Noah got a beer, and said I sure hope there is some football on tv, cause everybody loves football.
If anybody sees a zebra striped pigeon, give me a holla!

So while I was enduring hordes of fear, the path to clarity eventually became clear
Because all I needed was for you to be here.
I've always held you dear, wishing you were near, or that next to me you could reappear.
Sometimes I can't even bring about a smile as I gaze in the mirror.

It helps to be aware of the happiness you've attained.  
I know I once brought the feelings unto you, and I still feel a little strange.
Locked up tight in a cellar in my heart, the feelings have remained.
Thinking of the years they've sustained, I pray for situations like This we could be trained.

Next to none know of the magic when we stared into each others' eyes..
Everything happened so fast, but it was a more-than-delightful surprise!
Even as ships capsized, I knew somehow we still had our ties.
But I felt lost for so long, probably because of my emotionally driven tries.

A ray of sunshine, a beautiful soul.
A piece of my heart you inadvertantly stole.  
With such a little role, potentially never again will I be or feel whole.
I'm unaware of my own control, and to myself I have taken a toll.
Your spirit lifts me enough to want to make improving myself the goal.

Whether or not again our paths cross..
I am making peace with the time lost,
Though still wishing our moments were equipped with a pause,
While regretting never fully telling you how many times you left me with awes..

I just wanted to tell you that I miss you.
I'd hoped I could blame things on a miscue,
But instead I take solace in time I misused.
All I've ever wanted to know is,
Did you ever feel any of this too?
Marty T Ottman Dec 2021
Sometime acceptance is key to forget about what took the heart's hold.
May of fold, for everything in front of you that you behold.
Cherish what still may accumulate from this cursed concept of time.
Rehearse this mere delusion as it just another illusion illustrated between bonds you may not be fond of, but it will be fine.
Push through and don't miscue.
Remember the solace in the heart but don't take forgranted it's expression.
As it very much may so be your lesson.
Times ran deary, release the fury that no longer serves you.
Don't let the tension of nerves breaththrough.
Rest in a new awake, and don't forsake a new day's break. -marty.

waiting here,
baiting my breath
the sweet taste of wine
loosens my lips
waiting for what'
waiting here
sating my mood
with any food
to taste
and lay
waste to the
staleness
I have become.

Moments
prized and
realized gain
arrived pain
now fully felt,
through skin, like
fabric padded,
fatted not draped
like a discarded
memory or
muscle miscue
as I miss the
mark once and
again.

dullshooter, not sharp
propelled blindly
out my door, into
the day
light mood darkened;
not by shadow,
not by sightless,
not by faith,
for what little
I have I must
share.

Of all these things
buried in me,
my own grave.
Riches?
The pit is full.

Empty rooms and empty chairs,
No one present here nor there.
Week by week I stand alone,
And when it ends is still unknown.

I fill the emptiness with puzzles and games,
And try my hardest to not blame.
But every single time I've tried,
I feel a darkness grow inside.

I loathe for this, I loathe for that,
I loathe myself for being fat.
I loathe my feeling so many things
That aren't grounded realities.

Things like thinking I no longer look nice,
All because he's stopped telling me every night.
And things like he just doesnt love me as much,
That he'd rather be far away and such.

A part of me knows that these things aren't true,
And that thinking they are is a certain miscue.
But it's hard to look up when I'm all by myself,
So I hide all my worries on a deep mental shelf.

And there on my shelf shall all my fears stay,
As I make myself live each and every day.
I put on a smile and don't let anyone know,
That deep down inside, I truly feel low.
Being alone for so long just opens doors for my mind to wander and over think things.

A perplexing trust for trial ends this endeavor, a blending blasphemy, of me this court does suggest.

As preening voids, the zygotes, blyme, they be gouging the eyes of the word; not hither then upon the afore, tenure observed as a state, which exiled is you.

Now begin in amorous help. Fiend, friend, to begin hath thou the gaul? To annex this; thus we will begin.

"Player, composite, Sauls of my own form... You can't believe how beautifully, grievingly misunderstood is all that a mutual sanctuary stands for...truly is... or unwittingly shall...and is not!"

Priests, clubbers, Demons, usurpers, lovers all envied of miscue(the default form). Their lives of shores of the Sea of Calamities, stern amuck the floam... temerity to continue their negations play.

"Therein thinking a theory of thought. The theory is Daemon of poverty, the emersion of hope, empathetically ill 'con'.. 'truaght'. As
I had thought. Now be seated, all and sovereign thimbles on tinders of papyrus, tinders on kindling, fires of the vanities...so.."

The Judge said, "We begin again."

I warn thee now, Saints of lore didn't enjoy the mentioned or the heretofore.

"Neither Satan nor God, Fairy nor Preacher could'st so understand that I said, ' I couldn't take it anymore, I cast my very last spell and found myself in bed'"

The chamber abruptly decried of calamity and doom. The sanguine despot of evil's charm pleading for mercy. This tale did not end...

"Of majority I inform 'The persecution had formed a **** and shales of deviance of Heaven's abrupt roofs, feln at no mercy...a request.'"

"A mentor is nor promiscuous and the dabbled in victory is ours in study and form!"
So reckoning for further remorse, no time off, no deliberations for jury's recourse.
Cont'd
"Settlers with lanterns, the mocking Tern with letter did bring'st. A written confession entered this forth for duly appropriated evidence..."
Should mercy do require of
my plea, then bickering, is
of how many, of killed. Which
Jury member, flauntingly, tauntingly
it should be!

Another fluster. Time consumed. Wits prancing on Hate's Gate made deference of the decree, but not for the court, of whom, we entrust all our wit!

"Now, now. Simple folks we've all had our drinking sessions and fancy empaths, who lie on erudite chagrin, not the actual words for which a Daemon does hold within." The defense tried falseness, perjury in the evening debate; as cautering of word with unholy terror should be met with.
"If no further evidence is to be beheld, the deliberations can pass into the hasty congress which we hold honored and true. Be returned by the midnight hour, for it's then with this Daemon, dear folks," the Judge complained, "we'll know what to do."

Valkyries, Cavaliers, Angels, innocents wept as time upon the throne, the jury, until churning of clocks, the jury was kept.
Gathered were children, vixens, nobles and common citizens, as abrupt, did begin this midnight hush.

"Have you found a contempt, a fortune 6 for 6 plea 6? A jurisdictional deliverance of which light can not alone ***** the passings allotted by thee?"

"We have your honor"

And so the final waves, as durational salient crying vows, were set to broken upon virgins, churches, and broken tree boughs.

"Not...entirely...perpetually...free.. Guilty is the Daemon, no mercy to be shown. The sentence is passed, a proclamation which we defend as appropriate, all noting to the taken of, spoken of in the heretofore."

All were quieted of vices with meals made for axes and guillotine, as somber looks denied those unfortunate to find; Skink a friend not a fink. Then the words resounded, a damnation did sound...

"Implored of a vice that shant be similar in any such derivation of a humanity which we call binding, the voracious need to be freed under the conviction of the guilty Daemon's bidding."

And so we awaited kilter to the proud. A slurry of legions both curious and in an ironic way evily proud.

"To scour the Earth in no other form than that of the distraught and unwanten, and begin again the vicious cycle of death with no life till thee's crime is forgiven."

Ordinance and plethora's of charm shall never question the Daemon of said name and claim.

They did'st disarm.

As surely as to the very day until in the future no other sentence could take the place of understood powers of the court whom you have been advised of and; if adversary crosses your path you must invoke with no alarm.
fun little archaic partially scheme and poem
Base 8 May 2018
I'm no storyteller but I feel like telling a story...
_ oh well I guess this tale is a bit classic
about a devil with no tail and a heart made of plastic
met a rebel in jail fell in love, guess who she ran with
_ pedal to the metal, left no trail, cut all family ties with a hatchet
_ they thought it was special, how the Capricorn and the whale came together, relation filled with passion
_ it was about time they'd settle together thinking forever, they soon got there first egg, a male they discovered after they hatched it
_ mind colorful like a petal, soon the only color he'll be filled of is black as he sails, till then everything will remain static
_ so he was given his name, I'd  be lying if I said he shared anything with a lion I guess Kevin would have been better, this frail kid couldn't face the destructive gale,
So he just hid on the attic
_ half hell half heaven, he had to put a veil more like a restrain to hide his weirdness, for art and science he was becoming an addict
he had to wrestle himself to fit in and follow his dreams, but all in vain, because he never knew what his social class is
yet he was clever, but they gave the credit to the blood in his vein, but still he passed all his classes
_ less important than his blood vessel, but he wished he could dale someone who shared the same vision in his glasses
_ but love didn't show up in his way yet he showed mettle, so he always try to nail his heart to the wall, and keep it locked till he's in the casket
_ stormy is the weather in his head, he cried alone looking pale in the dark,  for so long it became a habit
_ seven Plus one days into December of the second millennia, is the date of the first inhale and exhale of that kid, words fall in place like magic, but this story is tragic
listen devil all you do is nettle everyone now I can't take this pressure, placed in this kettle, I wish I can explain or give more than one detail, but how big is the scale, it's like I'm tied to a rail and I can see the coming train, sorry if I'm being graphic, panic attacks when I attack in panic, but I'm just like a rabbit killed by traffic, I know it sounds dramatic and you won't like it, but everyone liked the Titanic

*
the vision is clear like a night owl
Walking in the dark and can see not through his eyes though, yet filled with fear but I know, when she is near my heart will glow*

it always feels like Deja Vu ever since she is over you, no glue can glue what's broken between you two, she's like a Zulu you couldn't catch what she threw, she hates you, yeah me too, now I can boo you the way I always wanted to do badly
The blue blew and I'm acting coocoo due to the flu that flew because of you above me sadly
who knew she'll sue and now this is the new shoe I'll have to fit into, I wish you went through extinction like a dodo before you had me
_ dude you can have no panda zoo with no bamboo but you have no clue ****** Doo, ain't no driving champ too but you can drive the ***** you onto you from my mouth gladly
_ my whole life is in queue until I hit the streets with my crew , cue music then I let the beat kick in like Kung Fu fighting into my Brian's  tissue down the alley
you had many shots all you do is miscue, you missed the hoop, you can't believe what I'm saying as if I'm speaking Hebrew, you brought me enough tears but you ain't no shampoo, your only chance is through voodoo dolls if you ask me


I'm the crow in your nightmare, you know you have to prepare a **** glow flare, for your dark room or I'll show up there, but only when people show care I can repair

it just became a cycle I try to build feelings then they get hit by a cyclone, and I'm going ******, my whole world is going down a spiral, I can't believe that my old man is my rival, I wouldn't hesitate to shot him with a rifle, I don't think I'll wait for the trial, only if someone's arrival in my life could me my revival so I can ensure my survival, I hope this someone shows up quickly because I'm becoming suicidal with my thoughts, I'm no holly like a Bible but I'm special read the title
_ I'm basic with these phrases cause all people see is that I'm weird, it's true my head is going places, but now there is a beat in me where should I places this, I don't know I feel like getting out of my location, I'm dead due to different cases but I guess the judge will tell what the case is, I just wanna go out on a vacation to the sun light oasis, forget about hearing voices and being wasted through my different mental stages like Jason, I've been like this for ages, now tell me do you know who the base is ؟??؟


                JUST A WEIRD KID
I hope you like it

— The End —
