I. The moon sings the languid flower,   to bloom at midnight hour Harmonious feast transpires -   luminescent choir Petals mirror la hue de Luna,   but pale below her glow Though the desert sweet aroma,   is fragrance plus photo Neither causing nightly failure,   in idyllic charm In fact, those powers are greater,   together than apart II. The moon a long gone distant rock,   yet pulls on ocean tops Cereus lures with sweetest tricks,   and stings with countless licks   Battered holy asteroid face,  woos flawless solar gaze And even though it causes mire,   lunar eclipses fire The cactus thrives in driest sands,   and chokes in fertile lands Alluring lonesome wanderers,   promising mere water The lucid beauty bewilders,   as much as it can haunt In fact, those powers are greater,   together than apart III. You, once my cereus and moon,   were drowned in my love well Perhaps, I was this to you too,   though your hole I’d not delve However, what was first velvet,   morphed into devil’s horns Winter shed those thorns in my chest,   now spring gifts hope and more The icy grips of each winter,   provides spring fuel to spark In fact, those powers are greater,   together than apart IV. Although we've gone on our own ways,   I wouldn’t change the past For each step was necessary,   to find true love at last We were once greater together. I’m now greater apart.

My Cereus and Moon
Today in an overweight society, The type of society that deals anxiety, Anxiety, anxiety, in this overweight society. Today in an overweight society, The type of society where diet pills are a normality, Normality, Normality in an overweight society. Today in the eyes of an underweight tragedy, Influenced so greatly by an overweight society, Tragedy, Tragedy, in an overweight society. Influenced by a society of fatty foods, Fear becoming a more common mood, The fear of falling into the normality The normality of this tragedy. The overweight society. Influence by obesity. Striving to be what their minds see, The minds of the children trapped, Trapped by this overweight society. Influenced by the skinny girls on TV Only followed by ads showing fatty foods society demans you eat Have a cheeseburger, upgrade to a large fry, yet still look like her, it's pounded in her mind. Young minds believe what they see. Morphed into the tragedy of society. A society where eating disorders strive A society where an 8 year old can consious you starve themselve to feel pretty. The definition of pretty based simply on TV Yet nobody questions this more than imperfect society. Elementary ages childern being fed fat then forced to stand in front of a mirror. Put a toy in poison and call it magic. Oh yes, what a fantasy. A fantasy forcing you into reality. The reality becoming your worst nightmare. The reality of your fears driven by society. I'm overweight, yet pizza is the best choice for a happy family. A society where mental illness strives. Why can't people open their eyes? Spoon feeding childern poison and expecting them to love themselves. In school teachers force health into thier minds. At home, parents feed them poison to save time. Re-creating, reprogramming their fragile little minds, yet still expecting them to feel fine. Feeling down? Have a happy meal, gain a pound. Overweight? Shame, shame, you must maintain the image. The image forced into your mind. This was our greatest fall. Upon dieting we call. Skelington stave me. Anorexia at it's finest. Anorexia thin and spineless. Some call you timeless. But only recently you made your debute. Make me feel brand new. Reprogram my mind. Make me feel fine. Thank God for thinsperation. Oh Anorexia, my new inspiration. Make me feel pretty. Just like the skinny girls on TV. Loosing pounds, one by one. Still weighed down by a ton. The weight of pleasing it. The nightmare society created. Influenced by what we see. Finally morphed into the tragedy of the normality of this weight obsessed society.

I say; The drifting rain dissolves sea salt Turning tears into dangled monsoon Under the bleak ballad of dying dawn Where I long for heat unbroken You say; The drifting rain drenches my tiptoe Witching smiles into deranged equinox Upon the downpour of ancient daybreak Where I pray for old snow long sunk All was as if the days faded And morphed into younger sunset It was as if mercy was drained And no one preach as desired The downpour stench though remains constant Of rotting perfume of the rouge graphite You drowsily drip from dowsing fingers, they lit Into pages of burning, dancing melodious lads As will, you may keep those imageries for you And give up old stories as my slumber lyre Whether it is about the burnt down marching boy Or the bloodstained pianist from our ancient joy For the bleak heart aesthetic has affected a new kind of love And the bleak heart aesthetic would never let you feel so certain So please keep your drifting rain of strings During the downpour of the deranged equinox When the snow goes black and slowly sunk Into pages of firespit melodious lads

The Bleak Heart Aesthetic
Am I attractive, hot, or **** Or just a forlorn idiot flexing In order to join the *** scene? I put a towel down And set up a picnic My head spins round From the dirt they kick On my meal To make me feel Scared and alone With nowhere to roam So I stay here laying in the sun On the other side of a Gatling gun I searched for a savior Who's willing to say words To me For free My search was fruitless My eyes turned youthless I grazed in the grass As time quickly passed After I finished my food And was left there to brood I became a floating satellite That was accustomed to night Because of my frights That reflected all light Now I see ants trying to feed on my crumbs They must think I'm pretty desperately dumb To not know they enforced my segregation When I had naively sought validation I waited there silently salivating They responded by not validating It's for that bitter reason During my new season I reflect my light on the approaching ants So I may thwart their encroaching dance My humble heart yearns As I watch bugs burn They wouldn't partake in my feast So I morphed into a brutish beast Now they're here to eat what's left If they can survive my dragon's breath They put out the fire in my heart But ignited my mind My useless humanity parts As I focus on time A time that keeps passing While signs keep flashing As burning bugs dying Or sad satellites flying My life was no peaceful picnic After they noticed my sickness And left me alone For that is my home When I don't need validation anymore I search for love Unfortunately I know what's in store A picnic in the mud

Eyes like massive clanks- gazes morphed to lanced boils, lungs ache and the tumour of hopeless alien weird melts an old painting we used to call 'existence.' Ankles dry, calloused thoughts, skin peels to reveal oozing flesh. **** sinks in and swallows floating zinc; immune. Consuming ex-cadavers in mall parking lots and pushing the crippled in shopping carts, an ankle twisted, a mother swallowed monetary ***** the stock market became the shelf market, and creation wondered if we were okay with frozen pizza for dinner. Life dragged on and on, the world swirled on twitter feeds and Facebook statuses, the streets completed laps around our better judgements and our better lives, we sank to scheduled escapism and believed that one day we would find the light despite our never left-look. Massive intention swelled to disjointed shark search. A witch-hunt to burn unhappiness in it's own angry passion. Bones; cost efficient at the least and designed in the weirdness of erosion-return. Miniature intention swelled to grabs solidarity. A manhunt to freeze stillness in it's own endless silence. What complete? What shatter-tastic ****** Eyes like massive clanks- gazes morphed to lanced boils, lungs ache and the tumour of hopeless alien weird melts an old painting we used to call 'existence.'

He lived under his mother roof, and every morning he gobbled down her food until his stomach was sickly full. He smelled like **** and cheese sweating bits of fish and chips, light years ago he used to be the biggest tease. He spent most of the time on the couch day in, day out. he morphed into such a grouch. Gravity was strong with his mass, his huge *** made a huge stamp day after day watching the same crap. Countless hours watching TV,   reality shows, **** and glee ************ his only ecstasy.

The Fat *******
An abstract gait Surrounded by coils of binary and luminescence. Suave, purple suits clasping to morphed skin. Electrical vibes, transistors atomically sized. Brain dives, the concept of thought diluted. She can only wish it was palpable. In a mirror mirage, Static fumbles, Repos the limelight. Cyberpunk gen, neo-noir, A relevant memento. Deciphering the metaphysical is Unattainable. ***** it all, Maneuver the landscape. Might as well enjoy the sights In the nick of a quivering snap.

I peruse exhibits through the modern art museum Nails hammered into wood And trash strewn on the floor I couldn't help thinking What the **** is this **** These can't be the champions of modern art Moonlight and Arrival morphed my empathy and perspective The theater is fine Music is there for those inclined to discover it So what about visual art? I know a few things for certain Nails hammered into wood never changed my perspective Nor does seeing a garbage can in a museum affect my empathy Trash is not art Trash is trash Waste meant to be thrown in the proper receptacles So as not to obstruct our view of true beauty I will concede that Beauty can be found in everything Depending on analyzation variation But those that live an examined life Constantly see silver linings and sour grapes Experiencing comfort in tundras to the point of banality Those visions are much more interesting in their organic state anyway As opposed to an interpersonal expression of the seemingly obvious So what to hang in an art gallery? I have my own opinions At this point in time No visuals elicit more emotions Than dank memes When I'm consuming art Questions are innate in my consumption Is this a vessel for empathy? Is this examining the human condition? Dank memes meet those criteria Satirizing the powerful Highlighting emotions and virtues in ourselves That we're either proud or ashamed of Memes share a common thread with poetry In the sense that everybody can create memes Or be a poet I get the impression that Universality of art diminishes it's importance In the minds of patrons There's an element of truth to that But what makes art special is quality And what makes art truly special is high quality And that's what belongs in museums

i kept my hatches battened but that didn't stop your love from barreling toward me like a runaway freight train with faulty breaks. and god almighty, did we crash. you came to a screeching halt at my doorstep and i didn't know what else to do but let you in. you looked so cold. we did not start with a spark but a full-on fire. i told myself i wouldn't fall, instead i jumped. our sinking frames somehow morphed into life preservers, and we managed to keep each other's heads above the waves. we had seemingly saved one another. you tossed your pills, i flushed my razors, and for a while that was enough. but we learned the hard way that even the deepest love can only keep the storm clouds in your mind at bay for so long. eventually our cracks began to show. missed calls and silent hours built houses of cards that were blown down by too many miles. we hardly ever smiled anymore. my hands were sieves and yours were sand. i want to break the hands of the clock that cursed us with this bad timing. i have mourned all the hours i won't ever have with you. i have felt the thunder that rumbles in my lungs when i reminisce about the memories we'll never make. the moment i realized i would never wake up beside you an atom bomb went off in the center of my chest. but the radiation is what's killing me. the life is being drained from me here in the wake, in the ache of your absence. but i won't beg. i will live out the remainder of my days tormented by wondering if maybe in another world our love is perfect and neither of us bleed. - m.f.

Do you remember Red Ribbons And the fear the world felt inside Could AIDS be transferred through vision Was the air contagious outside Some said the government made it Others thought it was god's design AIDS had infected our spirits Was the air contagious outside Was AIDS transmitted by touching "Don't touch him he's gay and you'll die" Repugnant minds were erupting Was the air contagious outside Do you remember Red Ribbons Was the air contagious outside I started wearing Red Ribbons After hearing my friends tragic tales Of the worst gifts they'd been given Entombed in a black mourning veil Our grandmothers they were best friends You told me, my god I went stale Sick with anguish for your grave end Entombed in a black mourning veil Once surrounded by many, now few Your frame morphed from buxom to frail Love you Joy, I bid you adieu Entombed in a black mourning veil I started wearing Red Ribbons Entombed in a black mourning veil

Red Ribbons
When I opened my eyes I sat in this body. The wind ran through thick black hair. Grass surrendered under my heels. I didn't hate myself then, or yet, or ever. Even now, when I part the clouds and look down down, squinting into the tops of trees that were in my yard. In the last home I knew, gentle hands fed me food. We joked and my eyes smoldered for their pictures. Why did they always take so many pictures? You probably think I'm angry I had to leave like this. That with one terrified bullet from two firmly planted hands, my might and power and God given beauty did not move. I remember that moment. The air was swept from my lungs, through my lips, and two angels descended on my animal form. My soul wound around one of their slender gray fingers, while the other angel folded up my skin into a cavernous pocket. We ascended into lush tropical rich radiant paradise--who knew? Animals are allowed here. Sometimes I wonder what might have happened if I could have morphed into human form in the right moment. When I became human, they became animal. You see, an animal is that which is unpredictable and wild; terribly aggressive. But people were scared. Now they have more reason to lock up their kids behind bright little screens as they push them in secure strollers. "Look at this game. Isn't it fun? Mommy's here. You're in a belt. You are safe." I just heard a sob from below. As I think these thoughts, I can sense she is crying and missing me, missing a creature she never knew. She sees God in me. She sees God in everything around her. To shoot me was to shoot her spirit in the chest, to watch the blood form in pools while people watched and put away their cell phones and pushed their strollers to the next set of bars. On to more eyes that hide their secrets from the humans. [in memory of Harambe the Gorilla]

when i was a little girl - i believed my daddy was the smartest man in the world. he knew everything. everything. if i had a question, daddy had an answer, and a good one. always. his degree was in biology, but he preached from a pulpit every sunday. his friends, colleagues, congregation, all knew him as Pastor Brett. to me he was just daddy - and he was the smartest man in the world. on days when i couldn't understand my own head, (which were, and still are, very often) and got frustrated with myself to the point of tears, he would kiss my cheeks and promise me i wasn't stupid. and coming from him, the smartest man i knew, that meant the world. as years passed and i grew, my naivety remained with me, and so i thought i was too smart to fall into life's traps. i fell. i fell fast. i fell hard. i fell often. and i shattered. each time, the smartest man in the world picked up my pieces and reassured me i was still welcome in his home. he never loved me any less, much to my bewilderment. however, as my faults increased in frequency and severity, he picked up my pieces now with weathered hands and weary eyes. his smile was weaker, and a deep pain stirred in the chocolate irises behind his wire-rimmed glasses. my deception morphed into vines that constricted and twisted and choked out the truth. he poured out his love onto an underserving me, and said that God would still forgive. but i, daughter of the smartest man in the world, am a fool. and by my own two hands, i continued to sink. he leaves me to pick up my own pieces now, not loving me any less, but too weak, too exasperated, too heartbroken to do it himself as he always had. he is done. he loves me and i know it. he shows it. but he is done. my tears bore him. my half-true stories and pitiful excuses move in one ear and out the other. he is stone-faced, no longer shocked by my confessions so i leave them unspoken. his kisses, sear my flesh. his love burns because i know i don't deserve a single shred of it. i wish he hated me. i wish we could fight. that would make things easier, right? but he won't. he just won't. he loves me so much and i can't stand it. but he is done. i broke my father, and his heart, for nothing. he asked me why i do the things i do, why i don't just stop it. why i keep on hurting him and my mother. i didn't have an answer. all i had to offer the smartest man in the world, was a dry mouth and empty hands. m.f.

I've recently put on some weight after being 95 pounds and twiggy for years. I hate myself for the weight. I see the past me and not even recognize myself. I feel like I weigh too much to be beautiful, that the clothes I love to wear were made for 95 pound me. I've morphed into someone I do not know yet. My chest too big My stomach the shape of a cereal box instead of an hourglass My big hip-dips My scars and my stretch mark. I'm not beautiful to the modeling agencies Or the people that run the tv. I do not see people that look like present me, only ones that look like past me. I'm healthier now and happier, but I cannot help but envy the skeleton, The lost me. The sad me. The past me. I hate that I envy her. I wish I could accept the new me, The alive me.

Myself and Beauty Standards.
I grew up in a country now I live in a business. America has been stolen and morphed into a fascist Disneyland. Our women are told if they don't look 25 when they are 60 they don't exist. Our children are taught not to ask questions or defend themselves. Our young people are commanded to go to college, get on the endless treadmill of the American Nightmare or they are failures. We warehouse our parents at great expense so we don't have to face the reality of death. Our men sell themselves for money and power they can't take with them. Courage, thrift, honor, all replaced with greed, the last recognized virtue. The only remedy is to say no. Try to remember what is important: protect your loved ones, love your friends, reject the latest and greatest; turn off your TV. You won't change America, that is lost for good. But you might change yourself which is much more important. The rich will stay rich, the powerful will keep their power, the business will keep on chugging, but you will be yourself, a sane person in a country gone mad. ~mce

A Fascist Disneyland
Awakening upon a smooth textural cotton Soaking energy within without knowing what had happened so often As if I've woken from a coffin Or if I've birthed from the planets Or if I was earthed from the heavens None the less, I am here Between the astral plane? Steaming from in to sane? Perhaps both Perhaps only a mere perception do I hope I have been awoke A purpose or so Reaching a new surface I have known Condensed energy through palm So energized, though remarkably calm Moving once Steady, so beautiful Psalms Awakening eye, I have begun Gazing, focusing towards condensed matter I have made and strung Cotton morphed to ground A land has been found No past, nor future, a mere stitch of multiverse this is Reflection of the third eye Two beings I see between the land and sky A man and plant A peace A piece A kind Moving towards a journey through strength, but although hate They can't see Though I As I am the man and the plant One, indeed Just as Yin and Yang A bane is a glory A glory is a bane A unique spectrum, I live I am the different multiverse All are different universes into multiverse Perhaps, I am the multiverse as I am numerous unto one The man The plant One soul Two shells As both collide, meets a view of Heaven, Reincarnation, and Hell

Zinging the zen-zone I was in A zany request zig-zagged my way. Princess Zinnia from the Zuider-Zee Required a zippy line or two To paint the zeitgeist of our times. With the strength of a Zamboni- With the power of a Zeus- And an uncommon zeal I set out To zap the doubt that slowed me. With the flair of a Florenz Ziegfeld And his zoftig choir of beauties, I morphed into a zealot Gamboling in the zephyrs That wafted in from Zurich and Zaire, Not to mention Zanzibar. I felt like a Zacharias When my zealous work went bust. The writing turned into a zonk- The accolades were zilch. I felt like I’d been zippered up Like a zebra in a zoo. I lost my zest for going on And slopped around in old Zoris, Listening to zydeco’s beat And feeling like a zit. But then the Zodiac- My zinging-singing sign Came to my rescue And I was marching off to Zion. I was one wowie-zowie-zucchini As I zipped across the pages And zoomed from one idea To an even zippier one. So here, Sunprincess, is your verse I’ve used up every letter zee And gone from very bad to worse But of this challenge, I am free.                          ljm

A 'Z' POEM FOR SUN PRINCESS
*Once a beautiful princess with a Zest for life and a love for tasty Zingers morphed into a Zebra butterfly Whenever she was enjoying her tasty Zingers She was always on cloud nine and so blissfully happy and alive So one sweet summer's day she was Zipping along on a Zephyr's breeze Pleasantly enjoying life with a smile When suddenly she came upon a garden, an enchanting garden of Zinnias Beauties, blooming colours of Zeal And then suddenly he flew Zoom, Zoom Zing, Zing faster than a Zenith light A dragonfly, "ahh a god" she thought And she worshipped him, he was her god he was the Zeus of her garden He could go from Zero to sixty in a Zecond She was so ecstatically happy in her garden she had honestly believed she had expired and went to her very own sweet Heaven When actually she was only dreamin' sometimes  she falls asleep unexpectedly Zzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Here now by many paths convoluted, Ever trying the thoughts new, acted on. Heeding just,streams conscious flowing, Changed and morphed in an instant blinking. Hair long,then shaved, now streaked orange grey Suits to jeans,tore them,robes spiritual,now **** pray! Was straight,turned metro,for all open,but curious still, Body clean,got pierced, now adorning pasts tattooed! Gurus, philosophies many, still a fool ever journeying. Heard Bach,reggaed to Marley,wood-stocked,now fused. Loved intense,let go easy,Kama sutras experimented on. Traveled afar,lived as a local,now a foreigner everywhere, Hip-pied from smoke to grass,yoga to parties raved hard. Against wars, sat in for peace elusive,fought all,now stoic, Never shocked or surprised,took all as came,now strong. The set mind,everchanging,the physical a compliment cosy, Unrecognizable now,existing totally, being happy, normally? Many shout, freak! I smile,walk on to my home in Bohemia!

KAFKA IN MY BATHROOM
Happy thoughts shape shifting into illusions of monsters. Metamorphosis. A caterpillar to a butterfly. That's the final phase of that lonely caterpillar. War of the mind. I'm morphing into a hideous demon. The face melting into a pile of mush. Broken limbs, torn flesh, skin oozing to the floor. That is what WE want... A man made metamorphosis. Now the limbs can be reconstructed into the proper shape. Molding, bandaging, painting. Perfect eyebrows, luscious lips, rosy cheeks, smile plastered on. It all looks real. No raised eyebrows even with all the head turning,. Neck breaking. The unimaginable has been deemed the reality. We are not what we eat. If we were we would be perfect. Eating the perfect politicians in their perfectly pressed suits. Eating the American Dream. The marriage. The happy home with 2.5 kids ad a golden retriever named Annie. We are broken now. All of these falsities have morphed into something terrible. Reality.

love you
Melting flesh falling into place. Calling out different words. Two minds, two different eyes. I see you differently. How you changed your heart towards my soul. How you changed your attitude towards this seemingly always happy home. You were worried and you kept your mouth shut. You pat my back gently and asked me if I was okay. When I was okay, you shot bullets at me. Are you scared of caring? Scared of showing the soft kind heart within? I know it because when you morphed, your heart shone through the tissues of your body....I saw it. It was beautiful...
