The doctrine lines, The white brick walls, Coffee creeps, We still drink, Our tastes have just changed, Who took the last of the ******* sugar? It's been empty for weeks, But mainstays stay, mainly, Another 24 hours, Some look less, Another victim of violence visitation, Rattling sign, the wind makes it's appearance, We made it, Johnboy the ****** tells aboot, His momentum, Taking his mom oot to dinner, He wore his tattoos on his face, One cheek said sin, the other, ner, Shakey Sam comes every meow and then, Saying nothing has changed again, Lights are flickering, While Jesus Jane is on another rant, You know, aboot Jesus and whatnot, Atheist Jocoby just groans, The coffee is a bit burnt, So is my tongue, New cats, alley cats, Dogs and birds, I couldn't tell you which one I am, Emergency alarms a buzzing all around, We just turn down the sound, As it's another go round, to speak, I'm James and I'm an alcoholic, Hi James, Turn over turn on, Hold hands with scumbags turned saints, All because of the fire we got from a drink, A smoke, A burnt down life turned to building, We hug once again, And step ootside, Open door policy, And fire in the sky is there waiting, Some run, Some cry, Shakey Sam wonders aloud, Will his dealer deliver, ****** Johnboy calls his mom, Jesus Jane prays, And Atheist Jocoby drives away, I put the sign back on the door, And make a new *** I want to hear that story, Of how that newcomer once got shot, By a disgruntled **** in San Francisco bay, At least I don't need a drink today.

A little bag of bones and ***** skin crawls lackadaisically, Looking every inch like a moving mass of biltong, With one arm weakly clasped on the protruding belly, Looks for somewhere to lie, Some water tank explodes from inside of her, Writhes in unimaginable agony, Screams the screams of death, Spreads her bony legs sickly, Out comes an object, Yes, a baby is born, In extreme poverty, It cries and cries, The shallow cries of a newcomer, It cries the cries of not being well, It opens its tiny eyes to a new world, A world extensively pregnant of poverty, It dies in the weak sickly mother’s arms, Veins-wrapped boney powerless arms, The death of a missed call desperately wanted, Ended before it even started, In extreme poverty, it dies, Just like it was born, It is eaten by starving dogs, Dogs in extreme poverty, Perfunctorily torn apart like a rag doll, As the mother helplessly watches, Too weak to do anything, Born and died in poverty.

Born and died in poverty
Fountains of flowers, growing so fast. Such a shame that none of them last. Summer blossoms soon will wane, They’ll be back next year again. Bees await the autumn flowers, Checking out the wooded bowers. Twittering blackbirds guard their land: Will their fights get out of hand? Swallows swoop with arcing wings, Ever returning for endless Springs. It’s early July, just past midsummer, Every green leaf is a newcomer. Earlier dawn and longer light, Durable daylight and shorter night. British weather will still prevail: Sunny spells and storms with hail. Winter always is a ****** I thank Goodness we have our Summer. Paul Butters

Fountains
Strobe lights Flashing different colors Every which way I look They catch the texture of my dress As I shimmy beside you We are a strange couple You with your pale skin Me with my sweet caramel twist shade The song changes This more upbeat The florescent lights flash faster The bass thrums in my heart My body starts to feel the music. I let go and allow my body to do the rest I feel a tap on my shoulder Him. This boy I declined Because of an age difference He bows and asks for a dance.. I consider I look at my date With a stern look upon his child-like face he nods his head at me He doesn't like this newcomer Yet He let's go of my hand as if to say "It'll be okay for one dace" I go take this newcomers hand And dance a slow dance during a fast paced song Odd... The song is over as fast as it started The guest thanks me and sends me back on my way back to the boy awkwardly waiting for his mistress to return A smile immediately illuminates his face "We are just friends," I think "We must be..." As the night progresses it is soon time to leave He kisses me on the cheek as another once once did and goes off on his way As I do mine I see the visitor once more but I decide to evade him For he is not worth my time He does not notice me Good. I am off Off to sleep Now safe in my bed Homecoming? Perfect way To end my night.

Homecoming 2011 (Fantasy)
At long last summer is here, Time to lounge in the garden And then have a beer. My porch is boiling, Have opened my front door. No more Winter toiling, This sun I do adore. The bees are busy buzzing, They’ve got a lot to do. Those flowers they still are budding, And there’s a lazy-rhyme for you. Ready for your mid-year hollies? You bet I am, you say. Ice cream and lollies, You’ll soon be on your way. The beach will sure get busy, No parking on the prom. Lemonade so fizzy, Going down like a bomb. Great time for walking, Out in the countryside. Lots of time for talking Or going for a ride. My favourite cove awaits me. A time to really chill out. It really will be stress-free, Time to have a scout. Yes I really love summer, That’s all I have to say. Time to be a newcomer: I’m on my way. Paul Butters

Sunny Summer
He hurriedly glanced at his wristwatch again, The shadow of the cross from the steeple Landing in the middle of the watch. A sigh echoed through the church courtyard, And a few rats scurried out of their hide-aways. They should be here by now. The moon hung in the sky, Trying and failing to shed light on what was below. The harsh noise of a truck on gravel reached his ears, And he breathed a sigh of relief. The newcomer parked the truck and lumbered out, Holding several filthy beer bottles in his large, grimy hands. “Here you go.” His voice was gruff, calloused even, as if it was being Grated like cheese. Money from the priest’s hands went into the driver’s hands, And when the priest looked into his eyes, They spoke legends of ****** The truck drove away, and Pretty soon the courtyard was silent again, Except for the hoot of an owl, The contented sigh of the priest, and the Pop of a beer bottle being opened.

My priest drinks too much
THE CHICK in the egg picks at the shell, cracks open one oval world, and enters another oval world. "Cheep ... cheep ... cheep" is the salutation of the newcomer, the emigrant, the casual at the gates of the new world. "Cheep ... cheep" ... from oval to oval, sunset to sunset, star to star. It is at the door of this house, this teeny weeny eggshell exit, it is here men say a riddle and jeer each other: who are you? where do you go from here? (In the academies many books, at the circus many sacks of peanuts, at the club rooms many cigar butts.) "Cheep ... cheep" ... from oval to oval, sunset to sunset, star to star.

Sometimes I wonder about the girl in the back of the class with the Hogwarts shirt who knows everything. Sometimes I wonder about the shy, new boy who is slightly bigger than the rest of our Psych class. Sometimes I wonder about the varsity soccer player with a little sister who is a newcomer. Sometimes I wonder about how my math teacher and assistant director are dating. Sometimes I wonder why the boy in my English class feels the need to argue everything. Sometimes I wonder how the girls in my class do their makeup so precisely. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like without my siblings. Sometimes I wonder what I would do if my best friend died. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I died. Sometimes I wonder about my future. Sometimes I wonder how we're all connected without really being connected at all.

Sometimes I Wonder...
Him who makes me hazy. Him who's laugh makes me starstruck. Him who's soft accented voice lets off "One year, Nineteen days." Voices exchange. Brain numb, and hands perspiring I step back. "W-what?" I stutter. "The day you broke up with me." Blood rushes to my cheeks fast like a ****** Him who smiles that broken smile, the striking smile. Him who looks like a newcomer. Him who I haven't held in an eternity. In One year and Nineteen days. Five months, January 1st to April 28th. One year and Nineteen days. Him who had no trepidation. Him who broke my heart as well as his.

One year Nineteen Days
As a newcomer To this premier Website for poesía, I Get Motion Sick Ness. From seeing The disdain And despise. Seeing other Poets young Old, couraged Bold, happy, Molds in Their prime. Get bullied by other bullies. By fanatics who **** And maim, while their Heads are held up in shame. With a halo of pain Murdering one Another. I seemed to have forgotten Aren't we sisters And poetic brothers, Yet giving hatred For hatred! Not healing Its Wounds. I believe in a powerful God who loves, not based On a theory of Darwinian Baboons. Message not clear To You. We are indistinguishable. With the same red flowing through our arms. Hearts that beat With homes Alarms. Some drive cars Others can't afford them. Some have high class suits Some are poor, Some handle food Some open doors. Some journey I want to explore. To the point The malefactor and villain Is not the ones you Choose to Make smaller. You only make them BIGGER As your size Capsulates as a pea to the wind. Your the same you killer of poetic flame! YOU ARE THEM. So stop Killing With words Of no Knowledge. Start shaking hands Saying good Job Poetic muse Of earth wind. As you slay And think -hey- Maybe today I won the fight. Always Remember You ****** yourself Slowly And that piles Night by night.

malefactor poetry, not made for me. Stand UP for poesía please
I am known to have several hobbies, as I also have significant prowess in each. Because in anything that I do and whatever I want to try, I always do it naturally and good just like a bird taking flight. When it comes to new interests, I am simply the best student. I learn and plan carefully with method and execute flawlessly with madness. Calling and pulling down rain like a God, I water my passions like lilies in the garden. When it comes to new knowledge, I am a servant yet the queen of this village. A newcomer gangster who rules the streets, I am feared in every turn and corner. Yet an overqualified maiden on the sheets, I am tenderly adored and kissed better. When learning about new languages, I dedicate it only for the arts and letters. Speak foreign words like it's teenage love, I've sworn this is only on paper, not my lips. Sing fluently like my head with heels above, I swallow my pride and swing my hips. When talking about arbitraries and goals, I am never not in the know from the get-go. I am an angel who sets and builds the stage, when I show up, nobody feels the breeze. Yet I am the devil that gambles and trades, in my refusal everybody finds their release.

[wave angel (hidden message) hairy witches]
tangerine cider tickles my tongue ultraviolet undulates on the blacktop, a summer wave of a mistaken mirage falsified, yet ever-so-present i could've sworn it was tangible the taste of your lips i've forgotten some of the memories have dissipated brown hair trickles along my earlobes chocolate caresses my cheek eyes stay peeled on me i changed my skin has sunken with calories and my lips have cracked unwillingly i watch tires swerving by and ponder the progress i've made yet i can't seem to wonder if i've forgotten a piece of me as i searched for what i'd lost, for what you had stolen, to no avail how can i forgive someone i can't even fathom to respect empathy is a blessing to others but a curse residing within unforeseen laughter tickles my tongue ultraviolet undulates against your desktop, a newcomer waves to your own entourage falsified, yet ever-so-present

She went out dancing with her sister. No thought of romance in her head. A ****** on the loose in a big city. She would end up in a stranger’s bed. There were skanks and fancy boy ****** It looked like they were having so much fun. Some guy offered her a cocktail so she Thought it wouldn't hurt to have just one. Criminals of love, villains of lust. Blind to a newcomer's sorrow. Heaven for an hour, home-run or bust. Live for today, never mind tomorrow. Criminals of love, that's what they are. Greedy as hell, up to no good Acting like some famous superstar On the trail of a babe in the woods. Her parents never thought to teach her How to deal with criminals of love They set her loose among the masses Left her in the hands of God above. The kind of guy she met won't suffer A single day in jail for his crimes. She hoped she was something special To him she was another hill to climb. Criminals of love, villains of lust. Blind to a newcomer's sorrow. Heaven for an hour, home-run or bust. Live for today, never mind tomorrow. Criminals of love, that's what they are. Greedy as hell, up to no good Acting like some famous superstar On the trail of a babe in the woods. This is not the imagined fairytale Written in women's magazines; Fighting off remorseless lectures Was an outcome quite unforeseen. She wishes now that she had stayed At home to read a good book. Instead she suffers with remorse Being abused by a romantic crook. Criminals of love, villains of lust. Blind to a newcomer's sorrow. Heaven for an hour, home-run or bust. Live for today, never mind tomorrow. Criminals of love, that's what they are. Greedy as hell, up to no good Acting like some famous superstar On the trail of a babe in the woods.

Late night at the Bar, The neon sign said time to go, Funny, when I got there it was all Welcoming and overenthusiastic, Garish, like a parade of clowns With balloons that just got lost Loosed, to the winds.  I had a few— Too many and wrote a broke poem, All alone surrounded by the clank Of wood from a pole and clicks of levers As the glistening 'patrons' shimmied their Tithes to the used machines of ***** Pinned and the green tables pooled And the women, who desperately looked At only you, after you looked at them And the indifferent, tallish Barman, Who kept pouring smallish dreams In a shot glass.  I stumbled, swirled out And kissed the tar as was my want, Every newcomer slogging in Simply ran with not even noticing, As I laid on the ground, they knew That their time was soon coming. That's called simpatico, or is it Solidarity, maybe, whatever? Anywho, I dusted my self off And hightailed it back home Before the broad, my old lady, Jezebel, caught me on the sly. The 'Queen of Sheba' was already There— prostrated on our bed Waiting to nail me.  My only excuse, The muses— she wasn't buying, I said baby, 'I ain't tryin' to sell You no lie.  The words, they come And they go, like a train that never stops But you bestbe going, you best be jump in' On that steel Goliath and ride that son to the gates Of pearl and peace, them goldilock rays and then I said, Hush, my little 'rock-a-bye' lady, you shush now, My fresh night moon of lilly flower, we's gonna Make like nubile creatures, all naked and free, There ain't no clocks little darling, there's Just you an' me and all the rest of herstory,' She bought that line!

If you were a kryptonite, here I'll stand I'll be superman, dying to hold your hand I feel the pain, I don't feel sane I can't make it, my heart is slain You know I can't wait forever You know I never lied You know I want us to be together But I know what you're trying to hide I never wish you never existed I only wish I shouldn't have met you I didn't even listened to the words you've said Because you're a lie, get out of my head Pictures inside my head are killing me They're just imaginations that I never wanted to see Your wedding gown, we're broken down In a world of heartaches, I have the crown It's why we're broken down this summer Blocking my pathways for a newcomer Just to protect this stupid heart From being broken apart You know why ? I look up in the sky Then all I'll do is cry I close my eyes and whisper goodbye

Broken Down
Walking streets Where I’m unknown I stifle sobs And dab my eyes. I don’t belong. I don’t fit in. There’s nothing here That smells of me, That looks like me, That calls to me. I climb a hill To watch the sun Pour pink and gold On lacy clouds. I scan the valley Full of houses. Which one is mine- It’s hard to tell. they look the same But I do not. My footsteps do not Fit the path I need to walk If I’m to find A welcome here I worship the wrong Ideals and ideas And I must hide Behind a silent smile Lest I be ushered out. I cannot run I’m here to stay There is no other Universe for me. I’ll choose a Another middle name- Chameleon sounds right. I’ll make them think I’m one of them And blend into a life.                 ljm

This fear... I grew up with It, It isn't a newcomer, I'm sure of it. Have you ever encountered It? Forced to play dress up and smile with It? Take it by the hand and walk with It? Making sure no one ever saw it was really It? All in my head, there was It, Giving me night terrors, happy was It. Depression and anxiety were the cousins of It, They came in the package along with other Its. People loved It, manipulative was It, No one ever suspected, proud was It. Put on your facade, It wants to play; It is going to be with you, night and day, You can't get rid of It, you have no say.

Fear
was i ever there were you ever here or was it but a dream conjured by empty fear secrets bleed through the walls like footsteps echo through silent halls I tried so hard to make this something more yet we're still slipping, slipping through the cracks in this old floor I wonder if He'll recognize this temple upon return if not full of holes from worms then reduced to ash from when it burned and if its but a husk but a hollow empty shell why does every single scratch, scar an eternalized tale if this truly is the temple perhaps I'll etch character in the walls so that upon but a glance any newcomer can know it all i dreamt of you the night I died somehow we shared a whole lifetime eternity is in the mind relative is all our time was i ever really there were you ever even here will we ever get whats fair did we live our lives in fear I heard the words you never spoke Read the tomes you never wrote If you walk away now I will fold my hand But if you choose to stay the wager stands If these walls could talk the things they'd say Imagine the promises they've witnessed break Oh the ridiculous things we pray I wonder if its something to do with the snake temptation yields resistance or defeat but rarely both I'll try my very best but I'll make no oath if we retain our humanity we sacrifice divinity free will free will how I've missed you so yet the books say you died long ago she asked me why why are you always thinking why can't you rest your weary head I asked her why why she was always drinking but she never said, no she never said we felt the divide we felt the separation I drifted from her side she sank to resignation I've lost all control here I've lost it all you never had it don't you know dear just let the chips fall you can never run fast enough to escape the truth maybe if you slow down it will blaze right past you the most intense pains lacking longevity are the ones that we can bare but the dull aches lasting eternity cause us to pull out our hair I wrote you my secrets but you never read them I told you my regrets but you never listened I'm trying harder now I'm trying harder than before We're sinking deeper now, we're sinking deeper through the floor. You turn your back on me You leave me empty and ashamed You turn your back on me Still somehow I feel I'm to blame I'm everything you always wanted to see I'm everything I never wanted to be I'm everything, everything but me I'm tired of breaking down I just can't do it anymore You sinking deeper now sinking deeper through the floor

was i ever there were you ever here or was it but a dream conjured by empty fear secrets bleed through the walls like footsteps echo through silent halls I tried so hard to make this something more yet we're still slipping, slipping through the cracks in this old floor I wonder if He'll recognize this temple upon return if not full of holes from worms then reduced to ash from when it burned and if its but a husk but a hollow empty shell why does every single scratch, scar an eternalized tale if this truly is the temple perhaps I'll etch character in the walls so that upon but a glance any newcomer can know it all i dreamt of you the night I died somehow we shared a whole lifetime eternity is in the mind relative is all our time was i ever really there were you ever even here will we ever get whats fair did we live our lives in fear I heard the words you never spoke Read the tomes you never wrote If you walk away now I will fold my hand But if you choose to stay the wager stands If these walls could talk the things they'd say Imagine the promises they've witnessed break Oh the ridiculous things we pray I wonder if its something to do with the snake temptation yields resistance or defeat but rarely both I'll try my very best but I'll make no oath if we retain our humanity we sacrifice divinity free will free will how I've missed you so yet the books say you died long ago she asked me why why are you always thinking why can't you rest your weary head I asked her why why she was always drinking but she never said, no she never said we felt the divide we felt the separation I drifted from her side she sank to resignation I've lost all control here I've lost it all you never had it don't you know dear just let the chips fall you can never run fast enough to escape the truth maybe if you slow down it will blaze right past you the most intense pains lacking longevity are the ones that we can bare but the dull aches lasting eternity cause us to pull out our hair I wrote you my secrets but you never read them I told you my regrets but you never listened I'm trying harder now I'm trying harder than before We're sinking deeper now, we're sinking deeper through the floor. You turn your back on me You leave me empty and ashamed You turn your back on me Still somehow I feel I'm to blame I'm everything you always wanted to see I'm everything I never wanted to be I'm everything, everything but me I'm tired of breaking down I just can't do it anymore You sinking deeper now sinking deeper through the floor

You are born into this world, screaming, covered in blood; a fighter. Day after day, you fight, step by step, word by fractured word. You fall and scrape your knees, wounds mended by time and a motherly hand. You lose your teeth, come inside after dark, covered in dirt, But there is always growing, cleaning, and a lesson learned. There are bad grades and planning for someday, someday far away. There are late nights and growing old, aching for a hand to hold. There is skin between teeth and empty, desperate grasping in the dark. You will give up pieces of yourself out of fear and let even more be taken. You will bear bruises and scars and lie awake with someones fingers tangled in your veins. Your heart will be shattered, met with a flame and reduced to ashes. You will be broken in every sense of the word and you will have to pick yourself up out of the dirt. Some days will be sunshine, a good nap, and your favorite song. Some days you will want to die. The beat to every life is just this: Fight. Every day is a struggle, a newcomer in a prize-fighting ring. But the fight goes on anyway. Leaving the womb, taking your first steps, speaking your first word. Your first day of school, losing those you love, losing all you have. You came into this world a fighter. ********* don't leave this world giving in. Fight and go down when the round is over. You came into this world a fighter. You should leave it just the same.

I have spiraled this way to the ground before. From the highest pinnacle of happiness to be crashed on failures rocky shores. The taste of emptiness, bile of reject. The pain of a heart torn from my chest. I have felt all of these way before you could speak. Now you have laid these same feeling on me. I am not a newcomer to this way , I know what to do. I have walked in the shadows long before you. To maintain my sanity I have Black and White, cross neither of these lines and I sleep well at night. My heart is an ***** a God given gift. Though I may feel like dying, I know I still live. Me still living ..well that's the Black and White... for if I feel pain...I know Iam still alive! They say one day knowledge will come. All that was said will be undone. I cover this thought with a pain hidding smile I had these same thoughts as I raised you woman from a child. They say it is sad that no words from me to you part. I say it is best to remain silent , only speak with my heart. If you can not see what your actions have wronged, then I feel such a fool to have trusted the bond. They say if you love it, let it be free... if it returns ..then it was to be. I say a Father never lets go.. for if she must run, he becomes the road. If she must fly, he becomes her wings. If she is in danger , he becomes the steel. You may deny your status , cut family ties.. but a Father is a Father till the day that he dies.

To Pen this Pain!
Soft, mossy ground covers the forest floors. Vines hang from high trees, glistening with the dew drops from the mist that spread during dawn. The scenery is laconic. And sweet serendipity makes it's presence known. Chimes and flutes accompany you, making a beautiful song out of the jumble of seemingly useless, natural noises, a rhythm out of a rythmless stroll. While fawns may seem shy, they tend to speak ever so softly about every newcomer. The lakes glisten under the starlight. Every noise has left your hearing range. Complete silence. The only thing left to bother you is your own thoughts.
