Anonymity emanations
For a thousand years, I've found myself in these dark alleys, searching for a light, on the pathway to perdition,Waiting for someone to come along and wake me up from this nightmare. For a thousand years, I'm the boy that I'm not, I've become the sophisticated mask that I'm wearing which conceals all my loneliness and agony. For a thousand years, I've felt this burden residing in my chest, the heaviness of my heart, and the profound weight on my shoulders. For a thousand years, I've been looking to be redeemed, to be salvaged, and to find a way to liberate myself from the curse of insecurity and desolation. For a thousand years, I've been weary and cold, longing for love, wanting to be understood, and yearning to go home.

Suicide is not an option Everything has to be done with caution Be it wrong accusation or depression Taking your life will reduce our population Believe me, all you need is affection Speak to someone who'll relieve you of your oppression Who'll give you nothing but compassion You may need trust and care in addition When facing life challenges and tribulation Take not suicide for a compensation Try to have a little comprehension Of the afterlife using your discretion And also have a little conversation Involving you and your intuition Considering suicide may be as a result of impression Or thought in abstraction Or even to punish a relation No matter the condition It doesn't worth your life as a rendition If you do plan of taking this action I beg you take this into consideration And do a bit of cogitation That suicide is not an option Though, it's taking it toll on the nation Leading many to quick expiration My fella, suicide is not an option Try to do some reconciliation And make sure to somebody you mention To get your mind in a good position Or perhaps it might change your situation And set you in a new direction Again I say suicide is not an option Take this into admonition That your afterlife may as well be in inversion That live each day with vision Devote smile to your face a portion Do activities in admiration and jubilation And in you life begins a resurrection Thereby killing the ulterior notion And also averting a possible perdition Because suicide is never an option.

Dilapidated, I hang on the precipice of perdition. My lacerated synapses, struggle to usurp the assailant who created my beautiful crimson demise. I'm weary of being ostensibly content, with all of this malice and prating that enshrouds me. Lets not mask this with useless euphemism. I'll make this as equivocal as I can. Its time for this dalliance to end. Its time I end my diminutive existence.

I really wish this wasn't my most read poem, it was a ****** experiment of mine that doesn't have much behind it. Oh, well... I, Not Too Pleasant Every Sky Feels Joyous In the Near future, watching Them Play Everyone See, it's time to Feel happy and Just right. Inside where I stay Neither happy nor Thwarted by their accusations of Perdition. Everyone else Smiles but him. Forget it, Just forget him. Interminable are the Nights That Pain brings. Eternal are the Scowls For dark ones like you. Just forget it, let's play. Et Cetera. Interminable.

If you drive down route 235, the lonely parallel line of route 5, running through St. Mary's County, Maryland, between the intersection of Old Three Notch road and St. Andrew's Church road, and the liquor store at the corner of Mattapany-- you must do so with a fat wallet, and a growling stomach, who barks at the flashing signs of the sparkling chain restaurants-- wafting their familiar scents out the windows and onto the busy street. Utterly beleaguered every which way by these olfactory factories, your mouth waters and your wallet lightens as the tantalizing sensations permeate your vehicle. So you cave; another lost soul vacates the street at Restaurant Alley, under the prowling searchlights and the intoxicating smells lingering like a dense fog; You linger in your purgatory with glee. You exit satisfied, patting your abdominous belly and lifting your smiling face to the sky in thanks to the gluttonous gods who rain down these chain restaurants from the heavens. A satisfied sigh seeps out of loose lips, barely hanging on to your fleshy face, so ruddy and fat. You act like your stop was something novel, like it wasn't routine to acquiesce to these temptations; you return to your car to continue your roamings down restaurant alley. Sadly, a full stomach won't stifle a querying nose, and your senses are soon at it again; just as the waiters and waitresses, cooks and busboys-- are back at the window, leaning outside with their clamorings and bustlings and cookings-- You pretend to entertain willpower as your copilot, but even if that were so, your senses would still be at the wheel, with your mind bound and gagged in the trunk. Restaurant Alley goes on for miles and miles and miles, seemingly endless in the permeating fog of burgers and pancakes and pasta and chicken and fries and burgers and soda and ice cream and beer and pasta and wine and America and pancakes and steak and appetizers and desserts and entrees and specials and kids menus and burgers and chicken and pasta and fries and burgers and ice cream and salad and burgers and soda and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat! There's nothing to eat; there's nothing to do but eat in Restaurant Alley, on route 235 in St. Mary's County, Maryland. So fasten your seat belt, and loosen your waist belt, and take a doomed trip down the endless roadway-- where you are dragged, shackled to food chains that haul you from the perdition that is the lobby's waiting room to be seated with loved ones at the mercy seat of Ambrosia.

Chop down the city lights of Paranoia. Cathartic beads of sweat roll off the horrors of your back under the saggy breast lamps in the pitched dreams where the nightmare kids come to watch you sleep.            Somersaulting walls made of human tissue, the love of your life overseas, and everything you say comes out as water torture on hollow centers of hope.                         poetry is dead.                                                   Liars smoke ten packs a day, social criminals stroll in marathons of perdition across the rot of post-modern vices, their feet stomp closer to watching faces under the bed.                                       'This is a story. A dream!' Everyone sees the fire under the bed. Watch-fires earthbound by every word before it is said, gagged in envy--brought to glow by spineless atoms.         Every sexless sun has a beard, a saved flirtation that singes           the vacuum of today's soul,                              a dead dream because you didn't pull it from the brink. No one has a name in poetry. A task. A point. An exit.                                                   One bed-room apartments locked with pearls                                                      visible only to soloist dogs. No sorry for vagueness or shut-mouth or bleeding upwards. The meter is running.... to the pharmacy because it could be pregnant with all the possibilities. And the whole amphitheater wants to hear one line, the life changer you brought --here it is: Forget your name.

Congressmen, police and ministers All can be particularly sinister When they take it upon themselves To think of us as shoemakers elves Fairytale beings who then madly Exist only to work for them gladly; Drudges to work for them out of sight, Creatures that give in without a fight. A sense of privilege causes this. As fate is always rather hit and miss It’s not granted by common sense, More like a caprice of something dense; A dark deity that is impressed by wealth Without regard to someone’s right or health. And the scary people the malady infests Seems unaware of the evil it ingests. Limelight and spotlights are the energy That often drives their ***** perfidy. But just as often, these fools don’t care Who knows of their arts, no need to share. They while away at greed and perdition And certainly need anybody’s permission. They only live to gobble and acquire And never need anyone call them ‘sire’. The most frightful of these lustful ones Are those who ply their will with guns. They decide the good from enemies And few seem good to these entities. They only plot their murderous plans Without regard to the rights of man. If you get in their way, you are foe. That is as far as their thinking goes. For that is the point here, after all. These creatures ignore propriety’s call. And the same with society, it is true. Those needs, for them, will not do. They work sorcery behind the scenes And create acts that are truly obscene. It matters not what is wrong or right They are ever-vigilant, day and night.

Through many nights of unsound sleep I've heard you say my name You held your hand out through the haze And whispered "Come and find me..." Your invitation woke in me The hurt to hold out hope You've ruined me, Stole all from me, And I have always loved you. If I could take away the nights I longed to touch your hands Or smell your hair Or hear your laugh Or know you missed me too I would. You took my very confidence, Walked away with all my pride Doused my trust and struck a match Reduced my faith to cinders. Your love was never really mine, Those sparks alive inside your eyes Told me I was not enough Impressions all re-told, relayed And carved into the hands I hold Fists I clench ask I stay brave Despite the truth I thought I'd stayed Bid farewell and walked away I've hated every single day I thought your eyes were mine But found out later lied at times And left me in a state of stupor Stayed up late refreshing thoughts In hopes I'd see you one life sooner Not have to wait another chapter You spin your story, yet another, I'd found all endings through my lovers The ones I've loved in living matter In skin and bone and days forever, Not dreams that lived through dying embers, Fantasies of youthful slumbers Our dreams were worthy of remembering Days spent in September, singing, Laughing like our youths together Holding hands, through frightened fetters Hearts and promises were breaking As I recall, the air was heavy Thick with quaint and distant longing Brought my blood to painful burning, Exalted fears to basic yearning, Turned away, last second learning, Tears in eyes tore me asunder Brought me to my lowest standing I can't afford to be so petty Perdition's path turned me astray That road was ours to walk together But we got lost along the way Our paths will cross again, I wager But not the way we walked before I've learned to trust my loss and anger The pain is weakness leaving me Reminders grief was all worth feeling Wisdom that to life there's more I have mine and you have yours Your boy, my words, these bonds are precious Like soothing rain that stops the storm Like distant clouds on the horizon Like winds that settle change's roar I left our memories on the shore I've walked away, I'm hurt no more I've left your memories on the shore

Your love was never really mine, Those sparks alive inside your eyes Told me I was not enough Impressions all re-told, relayed And carved into the hands I hold Fists I clench ask I stay brave Despite the truth I thought I'd stayed Bid farewell and walked away I've hated every single day I thought your eyes were mine But found out later lied at times And left me in a state of stupor Stayed up late refreshing thoughts In hopes I'd see you one life sooner Not have to wait another chapter You spin your story, yet another, I'd found all endings through my lovers The ones I've loved in living matter In skin and bone and days forever, Not dreams that lived through dying embers, Fantasies of youthful slumbers Our dreams were worthy of remembering Days spent in September, singing, Laughing like our youths together Holding hands, through frightened fetters Hearts and promises were breaking As I recall, the air was heavy Thick with quaint and distant longing Brought my blood to painful burning, Exalted fears to basic yearning, Turned away, last second learning, Tears in eyes tore me asunder Brought me to my lowest standing I can't afford to be so petty Perdition's path turned me astray That road was ours to walk together But we got lost along the way Our paths will cross again, I wager But not the way we walked before I've learned to trust my loss and anger The pain is weakness leaving me Reminders grief was all worth feeling Wisdom that to life there's more I have mine and you have yours Your boy, my words, these bonds are precious Like soothing rain that stops the storm Like distant clouds on the horizon Like winds that settle change's roar I left our memories on the shore I've walked away, I'm hurt no more I've left your memories on the shore

Poetry is the altruistic apogee of the individualistic emotional egoist. The lack of feeling, and the lack of empathy, the petty attempt to hide them with creativity. It’s truly astonishing how we can fool ourselves into thinking we’re kind When we’re just wasting our time, pretending to see when we’re blind. How could we ever emulate our chemical imbalances on one another? The only way to do it is the kindly overrated feeling of love and affection. And why would we need words, if we’re sure about our love for each other? Oh, we’re puzzled to believe that our puny poetry represents felt perfection. Yet we just walk through the valleys of lyricism, Lost in our own wishes for joy or demise And yet we become shadows of perfectionism Filled with the detachment we criticize. Our representation is our perdition We've lost ourselves in our own mission.

His little Hearse like Figure
1239 Risk is the Hair that holds the Tun Seductive in the Air— That Tun is hollow—but the Tun— With Hundred Weights—to spare— Too ponderous to suspect the snare Espies that fickle chair And seats itself to be let go By that perfidious Hair— The “foolish Tun” the Critics say— While that delusive Hair Persuasive as Perdition, Decoys its Traveller.

Risk is the Hair that holds the Tun
No, helpless thing, I cannot harm thee now; Depart in peace, thy little life is safe, For I have scanned thy form with curious eye, Noted the silver line that streaks thy back, The azure and the orange that divide Thy velvet sides; thee, houseless wanderer, My garment has enfolded, and my arm Felt the light pressure of thy hairy feet; Thou hast curled round my finger; from its tip, Precipitous descent! with stretched out neck, Bending thy head in airy vacancy, This way and that, inquiring, thou hast seemed To ask protection; now, I cannot **** thee. Yet I have sworn perdition to thy race, And recent from the slaughter am I come Of tribes and embryo nations: I have sought With sharpened eye and persecuting zeal, Where, folded in their silken webs they lay Thriving and happy; swept them from the tree And crushed whole families beneath my foot; Or, sudden, poured on their devoted heads The vials of destruction.--This I've done Nor felt the touch of pity: but when thou,-- A single wretch, escaped the general doom, Making me feel and clearly recognise Thine individual existence, life, And fellowship of sense with all that breathes,-- Present'st thyself before me, I relent, And cannot hurt thy weakness.--So the storm Of horrid war, o'erwhelming cities, fields, And peaceful villages, rolls dreadful on: The victor shouts triumphant; he enjoys The roar of cannon and the clang of arms, And urges, by no soft relentings stopped, The work of death and carnage. Yet should one, A single sufferer from the field escaped, Panting and pale, and bleeding at his feet, Lift his imploring eyes,-- the hero weeps; He is grown human, and capricious Pity, Which would not stir for thousands, melts for one With sympathy spontaneous:-- 'Tis not Virtue, Yet 'tis the weakness of a virtuous mind.

Vast, empty, midnight hour, hunchbacked lampposts glaring over parasitic black earth choking its host. A parking lot, an ecosystem’s blemish— hot tar seeping into the pores of the earth like a stubborn blackhead in a lip line. When no cars burrow into the blackened hide like lice the great absence of life is an atrocity. I imagine myself skateboarding across the tier as the small town cops watch languidly with vague interest— A skateboarder’s paradise where wheels and accomplice minds roll across celestial barriers blasting infinite pulses into the microcosm. What greasy punks have their mother’s van parked here, huddling by the heat vents and jerking off into a Pringle’s can? Empty parking lot looks like a cemetery filled to the brim where headstones meld over a mass grave— delineated by white lines, the apparitions of vehicles and their hosts haunt the frozen space. Another horrible excuse to waste land, a wasteland in and of itself where Tom Eliot saunters aimlessly and buries the dead. The saddest sight to behold, this vacuous parking lot littered with stray shopping carts, phantasmal plastic bags, gum splotches, ***** stains, candy wrappers, cigarette butts, used condoms, lonely cops and patient drug dealers, ambulant skaters, tired punks, bored teenagers, somnambulists, stumbling drunks, hunchbacked ***** lights prying for life beneath its sallow gaze— The air encapsulated within the perdition stifling, the pavement below stifling, a constriction only visible when emptied of its contents. A cop wakes from their choking nightmare gasping to find themselves trapped, ****** in this parking lot where the walkie-talkie buzzes with the weeping and gnashing of teeth. The warehouse store looming above the waiting room lifeless, silent, dark countenance— Big Brother sees all in the gaping maw. Cascading before me, stretching towards the highway passing by, waiting for the panorama to finish scrolling, the treadmill to cease its cycle— all the while lamenting life’s absence and reveling in the potentiality it possesses.

Seeing such said-to-be veracity made spurious by truer voracity left me in a downward maudlin spiral caught in the gravity of pejorative thoughts. (They were right about you) Shown to be mendacious and meretricious with such audacious and ignominious cupidity that is, apparently, insatiable by external stimulation. These words are for thee. (They were right about you) A Mistress of Verisimilitude Sorceress of Perdition Goddess of  Rapacity Nugatory Luddite Fatuous Epigone Specious and unctuous Girl of gratuitous turpitude These puerile and rather flavorful words fueled by seemingly insuperable motifs arranged in a terse, inimical verse for a rather insipid person who will likely never even know of them, and yet; such sweet felicity.

Iterative, Incredulous and Infectious
I met the devil many times didn't drink his beer for free (like Kris Kristofferson#) or beat him in a fiddling duel (like Charlie Daniels##) but he wasn't trying too hard to hide or convince me he didn't reside in all our hearts at one time or another Instead, he allowed me to see his (and my) wicked ways and make me afraid that at the end of my days if I failed to follow a prescribed and sacred tradition I would land in the ****** world of perdition this loathsome chap serves a purpose indeed and those who have the interminable need pray fervently each and every day hoping to keep this imp at bay but without him and his miscreant acts we would be stuck with unimaginable facts like bad things happen without a reason and nobody is guaranteed a winning season So if you meet him on some dark and lonely path (as I have many a time) fear not you will incur his wrath for without him there would be none to blame and we alone would have to feel the shame for all the woe that is the world (#Kris Kristofferson wrote a song in which he states he didn't beat the devil, but he drank his beer for free--##Charlie Daniels had a tune where he has a fiddle duel with the devil--I believe Charlie wins in the song)
