Ripe Mourning, so Crisp and Crackling with Life Waking or Life preparing to sleep. A shift change taking place at dawn, both sleepers and wakers will share a Yawn, for worlds of dream or worlds awake, it's like Consciousness balances itself in this way. I see a Blue Herron standing on one leg near the pond, ducklings waddling in a line behind their Mom. I see children running and playing on the jungle gym, how appropriately named. Training ground for the perils of the Jungle ahead, the Jungle of Life. " Welcome to the Jungle" Everything in Life is a Test Every Choice Molds your Future Self Prepare Yourself, Prepare Your Children, Train them on the Jungle Gym. "Welcome to the Jungle"

Wax captured in all the flex Structured detail with all the contour molds Realistic in looks of behold Wax of Bodybuilding champions at their best Craftsmanship in not settling for less It’s all about the pose All angles covered I suppose Imagine seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger captured at the time he won the 1970 Mr. Olympia Then Sergio Olivia comes to mind A waxed monster in the crab pose All the veins looking like an intense fire hose It would be competition in being prepared The time vintage bodybuilders stepping on stage, and commotion in making the competition mad The idea of muscles captured in pure wax To attend I hope they don’t add any tax But Bodybuilding is about facts Achieve with a will and it’s no matter what age being still Picture weights molded into wax A bodybuilder lifting feeling a little perplexed But it is true strength and dedication that makes bodybuilding work This would be the message that the vintage Bodybuilding Wax Museum would convey Bodybuilding exposure in every way A vintage bodybuilding wax museum encouraging people to give Bodybuilding a try I am quite sure there are questions of why It is the intensity with effort that would make one cry But the most important aspect would be “Stay away from drugs” This should be captured on every souvenir mug If anyone is caught taking drugs, we will just pull the plug Well vintage bodybuilding wax museum it does have appeal Now if we could just make it happen being for real.

I write these words from boredom. Where they lead to I know not. All I know, is that I write from boredom. Boredom creeps upon me, like a stealthy foe within the night. My interests can be peaked then can go out like a light. Maybe with a bit of horror my boredom could be solved through some fright. Alas I know that to resolve my boredom I'll have to put up a fight. To the boredom I say good day and try to be on my merry way. Boredom however has more to say upon this day in such a way that it molds me like wet gooey clay. Shaping and forming my mind for the evening, the boredom kicks in an my spirits start leaving. Once thriving and passionate, once creative and fair. Now because of my boredom I lack the very will to care. To care about feelings, hopes and dreams. Like most of my cares, they simply fall through the seams. Seams within my mind that bind me into one whole thing. A thing that has no will to continue with such a boring night. A flightless, hopeless, careless, and boredom filled night. So sleep tight, because as of now it's all I have to escape my boredom. Once I crawl into bed my mind is at ease, but when I wake up I need something that will please. Anything, anything at all. Whether it be down or up the stairs, in between some spider hair, along a glowing beam, even along a narrow stream. A gray dull life is not one I desire, day by day I hope for something to light my fire. Boredom strikes when I least expect, I always wonder when it will hit next. I'm lucky when it leaves and pray that is does not return. However when it does return I yearn for something to do. I Look for a clue for something to do, just as you likely read this from boredom too. So my dear reader I bid you farewell, from whence I came I shall return to my boring spell.

THERE he was kissing her dreams, holding her heart taking her lips loving her form from his manly smell he envelops her and kissed her love as he gives her daisies, roses and brings his soul to her, he picks her up and gives her a loving surprise and loves her like there will be no tomorrow as he lays her in his dreams. He molds her body with his hands as lips dance all over her then lifts her to new heights, giving is he, and fast falling in love with this man. He takes her hand and leads her to his domain he whispers in her ear, I will always love you and his loving is slow and long holding her in his position his lips tingle her all over his tongue explores every inch.. Her body is tingling wanting more and more, as she cries his name he whispers in her ear as she moans he kisses her flower she falls into her dream state of passion and complete love ...

Tasting Her Lips
In the world of lines and curves, I was questioned at the doorstep, "Are you a line or a curve?", I decided I was a curve, and they let me in in the group of curves. Somebody asked, "Why is your curve not curvier? You must go to the lines instead." I said, "Fair enough", and moved over to the group of lines. Somebody said again, "You are too crooked to be a line. Go away!" Disappointed, I realized I had nowhere to go. There was no group for me. I was a curvy, crooked line. I was a ****** Then, Along came a curve, and a line, They were curious of what it would mean to push their boundaries. So I asked them to hold hands. And suddenly I realized I was not alone. I held their hands too, and we were transformed, We wriggled and jiggled, and broke our molds, And formed a perfect circle. From our imperfections. Now I belonged somewhere. And I am not a ****** anymore.

Pizza is my life I started out as dough with doughy eyes Mother picks me up Mother molds me After no time at all I'm sent down the line Toppings... Things other people want but I get By the end the toppings are as important as the dough Sometimes I wonder if there was any dough to begin with Because the foundation is changed so much by the fires of the oven The chaos makes me steam, bubble, and boil Once I simmer down I'm recognizable as what I should be but not what I once was Now that I'm developed it's time to be delivered into the world And find my own home But what will I find when I get there? Will it be love? Or will I be ate up and shat out? Or is there a difference?

Admiration is a word that comes to mind when I think about her work. The seamstress only has to imagine and she can create a masterpiece of herself. With every thread, button, and hem she tells a story. She represents herself with every outfit. Her work molds to her every curve and bump. She can move effortlessly and not worry about a tair or loose string. She can create herself into exactly who she wants to be. And then there is me. Who has to fight every zipper, glare at every neckline, and gripe at worn out areas that have rubbed and tugged to try and fit my untamed figure. The clothes that disguise me only entangle me in a world of self hate and disappointment. The number or letter on the tag become scars tattooed in my brain of three words: not skinny enough. I remember when a boy in line during the 4th grade called me fat *** I remember when I was taken by my mother to a store that "might have things that fit better." I remember looking at pictures of myself next to my friends and instantly comparing every inch of myself to theirs. I remember when I looked at myself and thought, "maybe if you lost 20lbs. you would be attractive." When the Seamstress looks in the mirror she sees a canvas. A challenge. A body that will fit herself. When I look in the mirror I see a girl fighting to fit in her body. I see those memories of hiding behind baggy sweaters. I see countless dressing room breakdowns. The seamstress must have harsh eyes. She must have her own burden. Her clothes may be her own, but is it all a disguise to hide herself too?

Sun goes down the littoral, Painting shadows on the sky. If skies could tell stories, Tonight it's telling mine. The orange molds memories, Language of love, Beautiful stories, But swiftly slithering to mauve. The vast blue says torment, Rivers I've cried, Sleepless nights, Tears that have dried. But when the blue will turn black, It'll scream pain. As the memories erase, Loving I'll forsake.

If skies could tell stories
For your hand I untie the laces of my corset to disclose the eternity of my mind and body on the cold cement floor. For your eyes I remove the molds which ever so carefully holds my insides in tact and allow them to flood the careful corners of our existence. For your mind I caress your knots, untie your passions and pry at your past. For your soul I allow your mouth to wander the brief and quick passages of my short exiled being. for your heart I cut out mine own and press both thumbs on your disjointed limbs. Severe heads and pass into the point of no return.

Green husks burned Summer sky molds the fruit to hold its passion; Probed curiosity of a world above our atmosphere. What happens that we, the all-powerful humans, couldn't fathom? Peeled open, a bright yellow star, Alone in the fruit filled universe In a forgotten crate at the end of an aisle Whilst apples and grapes go on parade the passion, guava, and star are a scandal. Bruised sides see the glare of the electric light (Once the bright orange glow of the sun kissed these green skins) The sweet flesh of a bitten star is covered by black holes once as bright as stars The apples and grapes fade in their repetition

please to admit, it is true & not too deep within, a scientifically proven and a oddly curio shop fact, we are all aliens to each other, despite, the overlapping of a billion permutations of cellular related associations our individuating palettes the diversity of our genetics, other than the physics of sharing a planet, simplest put, no one can ever be exactly the same, the precisely of you or me, doppelgängers notwithstanding, our individuation, so incredibly due to our blessed diversification, that to subdivide ourselves from others, is a downward                                                            facing absolutely ridiculous ideation and thus we reveal here and (n/kn-ow) that the only reason we aliens unique nonetheless can communicate with each other, regardless of alphabet or character of idiom, (or idiots of character) is *all alien beings love to breathe and speak intuitively in a pleasing rhyme and meter,* to the ear of our overlapping physique, and that is why, every tongue is connectable, and every alpha produces its own poetic creations, 'tis poetic soundings alliterating glue, that molds this planet of aliens from a tower of babel into a shapely sphere

Leashed by loves lynch till I’m dropped by my lack of respect for the beauty’s presence Thank god she wasn’t curbside taking tips with perked lips for a stranger’s ****** fix, But I needed to feel the evidence that the pieces fit, That’s why this is about me and a barstool princess Getting close enough to taste the moans of vodka’s venom Get close enough so I can know my needs can be fulfilled Like a lunar eclipse this species keeps grinding its teeth when teased Time and time again we’ve been taunted by, The mistress our ancestors once described as the serpent of Eve,   When procreation was preached as an STD Yet we’ve been perpetually pivoting, To defy the chastity of a species Grandfathered misconceptions relating to why you and I exist   As wickedness warms in the covers of the lustfully parallel So let’s drown in this bliss, From head to toe, eye caught, grazes at the nose, From the bar stool to a lonely man’s home, From one dollar tips for two *** and cokes To the bedroom of this writing, The nights like this, that remind me I am alone But this isn’t about me loathing the fact that I won’t hear her whispering for more body warmth, Nor am I looking for you to pity me because I’ll be sleeping solo Enough is enough since we are humans seeking ****** catacombs I’ll try to be an adult about how the human molds but it started me at childhood, When those that conceptualized love gave me this world, And now I no longer have to listen to what I’ve been told This is about how to perceive something we can never truly control, Lucky enough to avoid a contraceptive despite unable to remember the doctor’s pull, Its night’s like this I get to question, When will my sheets meet the perfect fit? When will this be more than just a humanizing fix?

Barnacles crunch like fast food under your sneakers, my gnawed-on boots. We pass over cat-eyed shards of glass still spicy with beer bubbles and still fizzy with teen rebellion; It molds like an infection here. In a town nicknamed "Little Norway." ~ This place hoards candy-colored suburbia in its pockets. Houses like skittles weigh down its pants and it belches out tourist traps weaker than expired pepsi, yet it still manages these moments where I can trot by your gazelle legs and blast Julie Andrew's confidence. And I want to heap myself on the oyster shells, say STOP Put this moment in a snowglobe, sigh into it before we move on, do anything before the wind whips it away. Etch it into your hand if you have to. But breeze dimples the water like a golf ball and rips at the seams of the shore. Please don't forget me when you leave.

It's safe to say we talk about Everything
Tonight I have no words. I cannot grandly sweep my pen In flowing arcs across the page, Drawing little soft impressions (little soft depressions) That show how lovely pain can be. I cannot play the great Creator Who rips a vital pulsing mass from out His chest, And molds still-beating clay With a sad old potter’s gentle hands into a little melancholic harpist who plucks the heartstrings perfectly. No, I have no words that fit Like others have made fit before, composing language to fit all the inward lines and curves (I once knew a few of her’s) that twist and turn and come entwined, (the twists and turns of long ago) crying “Lacrimosa!” in some wee hour as the breeze blows a lacy curtain back. I am no Aeolian instrument Sounding a sweet ethereal chord into the night. I am the vacuous breath left behind in silence When the musician’s music stops — A tuneless referent — An empty exclamation mark Howling noiselessly in space, Meaning nothing And everything, all the same. !

Mute
My brain is a finely tuned A string Plucking and picking itself out of tune And though out of tune itself Molds and bends to be in tune Relative to others. My skin like a mahogany fingerboard Is constantly pressed And squeezed and slapped —Abused by my own hand. My mouth and tongue are f-holes Through which my inner vibrations Are released into the air. My heart is a bridge Keeping my thoughts In their rightful place But also connecting My body and mind. My bones make up my sound-post Holding me together And providing the structure Necessary to speak. My feet are an endpin Grounding me And connecting me To my surroundings. Occasionally a bow comes along Forcing me to do or say The opposite of my desires Moving me And playing me Like an instrument, A toy. I am a cello Here to say what I want How I want. Though my strings need occasional tuning, I decide how they sound And when they sound. Although I am sometimes used by others For their gain I am always in control of my expression.

I am a vessel waiting to be filled with doubts and reason waiting to hear the songs that wave in the atmosphere let your influence flow so that we all can pollute our seasons without a blend of innocence and curiosity you cannot have clay that molds to your liking at least not to your tasteless velocity rushing away any thought of magic at one point nothing needed definition life was all and pure to the touch connection gave us premonition to a universe of one Downwards is the direction of a new soul to land and welcome the progress purpose and destiny do not have their hold for we question instead of taking the chance to cherish Now a war exists to fight for the past while building a narcissistic future we grudge and we pride in a false ability to last when the cycle and spiral is infinite we are dust for now energy to be a dimensional vow spoken continuously I am a vessel

Carry On
*Weathervanes with harmonically tuned brains, took up the call to Step Lively.   Each one ecking, drop by drop, To feed you silliness, to lighten your soul. Wakey, wakey Eat well It's your Daddy, I mean attorney You're really been being very bad.* If you insist, I will. Learn obedience or patience or something in between, a kernal of obedience? I'll never promise that, in order to give it to freely. I was afraid to let you in. They were menacing, stamping us into tiny little molds. Insistent that we are, what they think we are. *Did they convince you that I'd gone off and left you?* No, changing that would require quantum amounts of convincing. Was not mistaken that it was you, just attacked by encroaching apiculture *That is how it felt, How it feels, but subtler now.* First course correction will be the sliver of a melody, Spreading like a depth charge.

Close Your Eyes
Heavy beast and heavy burden Burned into growing feet, a mile above all great sentiments of Home, clouds settle into molds Carved inside carnivorous minds. There is no quadrant on this island You could go Where I could not see who you created In me, fiery and dormant, whirlwind Of silence and fear. I see you everywhere, In every line on my face, You exist. I exist amongst a million cold dandelions in a weary field. Inescablable youth, river stones wrapped to knarled knees To ground me to three separate waterfalls, All who whisper of the dead To creatures who eat the love from out the backs of children’s heads. I own a million fragments of a life And nowhere have I found the one Who makes them whole.

Heavy Beast
Hordes of metaphorical oracles awaken me from sleep Dreams of paralysis, lost inside the deep Rabbit hole analysis meets a descent so steep While these Prodding thoughts got me tripping over my own feet Interpretations or revelations what does it mean? How long can one last existing inside of this scene? Wide eyes lids closed coincide with winter snow shallow breath heavy toll watching bodies decompose presence felt, identity unknown, an experience to shake the bones. Straining to take quick control, interpretations from the occipital lobe lying semi lucid, fear from the cold vocalizing panicked silence binded in time with mind stuck in molds To even have witnissed this instance means it's time to grow. the fire's flowing im slowly blowing my CO2 What do I want, what do I need? This mission eye must see through Take this steady ascension into the next lesson clearing the mirror for a perspective of truth.   The more that is reflected, the more I see you

Sleep Paralysis
My hands have a mind of their own Melt down all my doubts to fill molds of jail cell bars Of locks with no keys I’ve built a cage around my heart made of all the things you hate about me and the things I hate about myself I know the weight of living is heavy love Place it on my chest until my lungs cave in I’ll find air in the spaces between our fingers and in the distance I’ve put between us My minds become a road map full of roundabouts From an aerial view you can see the loops of my neural pathways They look a lot like “I’m sorry” Made of dead ends and clovers and things my therapist says are out of my control It goes around and around and around on repeat But I’ll apologize again anyway even if it keeps you here longer than you wanted In the maze In the cage Ive met people with keys I don’t know how to ask for them Even just for a second

Life molds you into a shapeshifting mess. One stumbles through different tribulations, and the soul diversifies as the years pass. You turn into different versions of yourself. It’s like treading through hell, but you taste heaven at the same time. It’s not a choice, it’s a requirement. Its like drinking liquid gold. The concept is luxurious, but it kills you so deliberately. A beautiful solemnity? Emotions so immense. It hurts so much to breathe, to exist, yet you need to stay, you stay because of love. We suffer to exert empathy. Love is the cutlass that impales deeply. It cuts far, it makes you bleed profusely, but it feels so good. It just feels so good. Is there a point to it all in the very end? Happiness seems temporary. Chasing it is like the drop you feel when the veil is pulled from under your foundation; long, scary. Happiness is the rarest paragon. The heart, heavy and the mind, full. Wondering day after day. Who will understand me, touch me, sense me. Wonder, keep wondering. Wonder possesses you. Wonder keeps watching you. Wonder doesn’t let go, it comes to watch you die. That’s the why, that’s the death. Life will never give you an answer.

Life, holds hands with Wonder to watch you die.
A wise man once told me that all people are like precious metals. He told me this in different words than I will use, but I took this to heart.
 We are mined from ***** places; these miners see the value that lies beneath our harsh surface. We are plucked from our resting places, sent to great, large cities where we will be put over fire to burn out our impurities. 
 We will go through pain and fire. We will melt and be tortured. We will cry and scream and we will suffer. All of our repulsive imperfections will float to the top while this is happening. To purify gold, it must be melted. To purify silver, it must be melted. 
 It must be melted and the rough **** that exists within and without these bits of precious metal must float to the top to be extracted. 
Sometimes, this process must happen multiple times. Sometimes, we must use chemicals and medicines to make sure it happens properly. To purify us, we must be melted. 
These are our trials in life. This fire represents our hardships. This fire represents every life change that we don't want to happen, but must pull through. This fire represents each truth that we don’t want to know, but have to accept. This fire represents each person that walks in and out of our lives like rainstorms, pouring for hours and moments before disappearing on the wind, never to be seen again. This fire represents each night we must spend alone, crying for someone to save us. This fire is us. This fire is self-preservation. This fire doesn't last. And after the fire is over, and our imperfections are drawn away from us, we are perfect.
 Of course no one is ever perfect, but no metal is ever completely perfect; everything that glitters is not gold.
 After the fire has died, and we have been poured into new molds, into new people, we are stronger. With our disfigurements gone, our molecules bond tighter to form a stronger metal. With our faults gone, we sparkle and shine for the world to see.
 After we have been pulled from the ground, after the fire has died, after we have come out as stronger, prettier people, there is still a chance for staining.

Gold
A wise man once told me that all people are like precious metals. He told me this in different words than I will use, but I took this to heart.
 We are mined from ***** places; these miners see the value that lies beneath our harsh surface. We are plucked from our resting places, sent to great, large cities where we will be put over fire to burn out our impurities. 
 We will go through pain and fire. We will melt and be tortured. We will cry and scream and we will suffer. All of our repulsive imperfections will float to the top while this is happening. To purify gold, it must be melted. To purify silver, it must be melted. 
 It must be melted and the rough **** that exists within and without these bits of precious metal must float to the top to be extracted. 
Sometimes, this process must happen multiple times. Sometimes, we must use chemicals and medicines to make sure it happens properly. To purify us, we must be melted. 
These are our trials in life. This fire represents our hardships. This fire represents every life change that we don't want to happen, but must pull through. This fire represents each truth that we don’t want to know, but have to accept. This fire represents each person that walks in and out of our lives like rainstorms, pouring for hours and moments before disappearing on the wind, never to be seen again. This fire represents each night we must spend alone, crying for someone to save us. This fire is us. This fire is self-preservation. This fire doesn't last. And after the fire is over, and our imperfections are drawn away from us, we are perfect.
 Of course no one is ever perfect, but no metal is ever completely perfect; everything that glitters is not gold.
 After the fire has died, and we have been poured into new molds, into new people, we are stronger. With our disfigurements gone, our molecules bond tighter to form a stronger metal. With our faults gone, we sparkle and shine for the world to see.
 After we have been pulled from the ground, after the fire has died, after we have come out as stronger, prettier people, there is still a chance for staining. 
We may scuff and stain, we may grow new impurities, but then we must suffer fire again. 
It is an ongoing process. We are never perfected. We are ever changing, yet we are solid as metal.

The Fandom Did It Better
*The August Moon saw the rise of a phoenix from the ashes, In the huts of poverty was she born, An arrow of peace, The changing touch of a stranger She, the one with an old soul She, the one with joy She, the one with a vibrant smile She, the one with a heart of gold She, the one with selfless love Born and bred with the tenacity of a lioness, courage did she ooze with her every day stride A delicate orchid, with the raw beauty of a black rose A gift amongst the blessed She, a pillar of strength She, a beacon of hope She, a wild heart She, a rebellious soul She, a free spirit She, a phenomenal woman Floundered the earth for her offspring did she, Gave wholeheartedly, Loved wholeheartedly, Lived fully did she. Still now, she molds from her final resting place a queen and king She, my mother.* **Happy Birthday Mom!!! 12/08/1974--12/11/2008 Rest In Peace**
