"perk" poems
I’ve tattooed a line across the veins of my wrist and marked a down stroke for every time “you can’t wear red lipstick” made me believe I never wanted to in the first place. for every time instead I’ve stained my lips with cherries learning how to tie the stems so I can slip forget-me-knots to the back of your throat— do you feel my restriction now? the razors that fly off my tongue perk thorns on my skin, another down stroke on my wrist will teach me that you were right, shyness is a virtue. no need to speak, go spend one hundred dollars and some percent for tax to cover up, even though I’m sure your mother told you that cotton stains. so make it black. get your hair stuck in the zipper of that sundress and pray as you pull it out that it will lose its pigmentation in the process mark a down stroke for killing two flowers for one bouquet. hold it close your eyes and throw it back, I know we shouldn’t be wearing white anyway but tradition can take a lot out of you like what you really think— don’t say **** in public. instead drag your first impressions all the way to the altar and dress in your Sunday best a flower on your lapel clear on your lips a stroke for the neat decline of the son I tattooed a line across the veins of my wrist and marked a down stroke for every time my image was my fault.

If you give a girl a with a big heart your broken pieces, she will gently pick them up and carry them in her soft hands, and pay no mind to your sharp edges. She will try to glue you back together and she’ll do it in a way that made you forget you were ever broken. With scratched finger tips and ****** palms, she’ll lift you up to the sun, letting it's blinding rays shine through you to show you that even the worst things have things to love in them and that even the shattered can again be whole. If you give a girl with a big heart your body, she will study you like an archaic God. She will learn your curves and surfaces like braille, she will adjust her hearing to the pitch of your laughter so that no matter how far apart you become, her ears will perk up like a dog's when you giggle, and she will smile, knowing that you smile. If you give a girl with a big heart your time, she will make each second feel like infinity, and each sunset like the end of the world. You'll forget that the universe is as vast and wondrous as it is, because you will be so captivated by the light that she emits right where she sits, by your side. And if you take from a girl with a big heart, please, for the love of God, do not take it all. If you take from a girl with a big heart, please remember that her love is not a renewable resource. The wind and the sun and the water will forever be there to serve you but she will run dry, and become another fact of history that will one day be forgotten. If you take from a girl with a big heart, please remember how sharp your edges were before her, how lifeless your body was before she touched it, and how meaningless time was before she made it into something magical.

I can't unlove because I am Impatient, selfish. I love as if I cannot be hurt. Going on as if nothing is wrong. I cannot unlove because I know not how. I spend my nights awake dreaming of how everything should have been. The speeches I have amongst myself Lost in complete darkness. Accepting the sound of my voice as an I told you so. Seeking a dream that seems so far away. I can't unlove because I accept disappointment. The contempt of putting others first without fear. I truly believe I cannot unlove because I am in love. Young again in thought running wild, free. I consider it a perk. Being the only other person I know how to be. No longer embarrassed of facing the opposite end of the mirror. Finding that the most important things bring the most smiles. I am far from perfect But I cannot unlove as if I made some sort of mistake. Purposely mistaking myself as a fool

Unlove
The time was early or late - to us it's all the same/Our minds, a phone, two lovers alone and playing a lover's game. We had made a promise not to speak or write those special words/Instead we chose to circle around them like a pair of lonesome birds. Beyond all expectations we stayed true to our oath/Though in more ways than one it was torture to us both. The day of our meeting was the date we had chosen/To express our emotions and melt lips long frozen. But Life intervened and our plans were broken/Our love, it seemed, was not meant to be spoken. Yet still a call was made and the reason why was clear/My patience had run out weeks ago and I simply longed to hear. The melody of your voice and the thoughts in your head/And the rhythm of your breathing as you lay in your bed. It isn't long before we start to speak of our vow/Though every fiber of my being begs to say it now. Then a catch in your voice makes my ears perk up with glee/Could you desire to be first to say them to me? Somewhere a clock chimes loudly four times/While criminals are out committing their crimes. You become one of them as The Words leave your mouth/My love is now yours to take - North, East, West, and South. I'll change and grow but there is one thing I'll always do/And it's whatever it takes to hear you say "I Love You." For Jénay - My soulmate I love you honeybee

Hearing "I Love You"
I think about you. I think about you hard. I didn't like your attitude; it left my image of you marred. You were immature, sometimes a nasty **** But there’s a thought about you that’s a real perk: It might be naughty, it might be sick, but I find my thoughts turn pleasant when I think about your **** You annoyed me day and night, and drove me a bit crazy. There are some things that I remember that I wish were hazy. Your voice was whiny, your habits loathsome. You smoked and stayed up late; I'd wish that I was lonesome. Except for that bit about you-- the key that fit my lock-- it’s what I miss about you. My dear, it’s just your **** You talked too much. You weren’t very bright. I pretended I was listening as you rambled on all night. You didn’t pay the bills. I mostly cooked the food. Our stupid arguments left me in a foul mood. But even when my thoughts about you were at their meanest, I somehow changed my view when I thought about your ***** There’s no way to separate you from your biggest asset. So though you looked like trouble, in every single facet, I tolerated much-- more than I’d like to remember-- because of my strange attraction to your firm and friendly member.

I Think About You
everyday i find myself here sitting in a bar stool drinking another beer it's already been half a year with my memory of each day not always clear and yet i quaff and i quaff with no ability to turn it off then i stumble back into work telling myself this is only a perk just a little quirk to get me through work

I quaff
Oh, I have never looked so good running in armor thru the woods Adept with blade or mace And I know a little magic which for foes is rather tragic (it’s a perk for my race) Be it mountain peak or ocean swell thru rocky hill and grassy dell nothing slows my pace Many Quests I need to finish there’s Evil I must diminish (And weapons to replace) Every belonging I have owned I have bartered, won or stole Hording gold just in case I’m constantly slashed, bashed and burned by dragons, wildlife and Curs with no fear on my face Though I have skills that get me by There are occasions that I’ve died Thank god for the last “save” I will keep right on playing leveling buy quests and slaying in my CGI escape January 2012

I could turn away, But then id have to pay, My happiness may be the price, But when it comes to that i think ill roll the dice. Lets give it a chance, And maybe just survive this crazy little dance. Cause the smile spread wide across my face, Well maybe you cant tell, But hunny, i dont want my space. It may be a secret, nobody can know, But the day will come when that wont even show. Yeah it ***** But oh well, lifes just tough. Sneaking around will never be easy, But baby when you kiss me, i get queezy. I like you alot, And as far as what i want, Your right on the dot. Isaac i want this to work, Hey!who knows? Maybe secrecy will turn out to be a perk By: Kaity Morris March 2,2012

Secret Relationship.
I heard you were going away On a one week holiday This makes me sad for sure You are the one I adore Its only a week I know The time, how fast will it flow? My hope is quite quickly Without you I get a bit prickly Its no secret I am into you So remember, without you I'm blue Your sweet words I'll miss But mostly your kiss While you are away, I'll catch up on books and work I guess that will be a perk Not wanting to seem unsteady But I miss you already

I Miss You Already
I think I'm going blind. I'm under the impression you've disappeared. That you're gone for good. That you've eliminated yourself from my retinas in order to escape my mile wide stare. That you've constructed homes under tombstones hoping I'd mistake you for A box of under-appreciated skeletal remains Because all you've ever wanted is to be dead to me. Like you wanted my eyes to forget about their day job and resort to conceptualized adultery Because God forbid I commit to an honest day's pay. I've never intentionally visualized imaginary fabrications. But the truth is, my eyes do everything but tell the truth. 1. My eyes write monotonous picture books with your face plastered on every single page Just to recreate your physical beauty time and time again So the world knows your look tops my mind's best seller list. 2. My eyes climb mountain tops and skinny dip in stormy seas Because sometimes crazy is the only way I can get you to look at me. 3. My eyes fly hot air balloons carried by the echoes of your soft spoken sentences As if exhaust pipes could spew such sweet nothings into the night sky. 4. My eyes invade foreign lands with every intention of burning down Prehistoric villages and discovering your secret hideaway because I too Want to know how it feels to savagely destroy former sacred territory. 5. My eyes struggle out of bed every morning.  Not even Three shots of espresso can perk my eyes up enough To allow the radiation you still give off enter my pores. I think I'm going blind. Or maybe I just can't see straight. Or be straight up with you and tell you how it takes every part of me To not gauge my own eyes out for betraying the rest of my body. It takes every part of me to admit my misjudgments spawned the downfall of it all. Because I told you I saw the two of us trekking through unfamiliar lands With each stride another step towards our destiny. Because I told you I saw something in your eyes That gave mine the ability to smile. Because I told you I saw us redefining what infinity Looks like to the senseless visionary. But my eyes don't tell the truth. I'm going blind.

Okay... see... I really like this girl and I've liked her for a while. She's a silly type of girl that would go the extra mile for any guy that might want *** from the forest to the tile. They might seem as sweet as can be, but they turn out to be vile. There's this one stupid guy who's only nice perk was his smile. He got her pregnant last year and she's about to have a child. I guess this was bound to happen, cause she's that type of wild that would get married at 18 and then immediately file for divorce in the courts, of course this would happen. While I'm studying the art of pickup, she gets sitting on his lap and then he might decide to stick his **** up and start clappin, cause I was never able to man up and I was too scared to tap in. I guess my major hiccup was my constant state of rapping. Where has poetry ever even gotten me. Just a hobby while I'm stuck in this secluded monotony. I just hope one day I can say someone spotted me. In the meantime I'll be a lonely poet in the club of 'Forgotten Thee'.

Forgotten Thee
I'm not the first, or the last, to admit this but those days those wonderful days when you can run out of a pizza place past midnight and drive standing up, top down in a convertible jeep around the back roads of a small town with music so loud that no one can hear you cry with wind blowing your tears back behind you so you don't have to worry about getting them on your clothes holding your arms out like they do in Titanic Perk of Being a Wallflower Superman but you don't feel the joy that they do you don't feel what everyone else does you cry and feel broken because your mind is a cruel place and your worst memories and fears come up when you should be having the most fun so you stand up constantly watching to make sure that these empty streets really are empty constantly hoping that the credits dont roll yet, because you have so much more to do and you keep your hands to yourself because you can't let your sorrow spread to the others once again the tears in your eyes are from the empty hours of another sleepless night for another night you keep your hands to yourself afraid to reach out four heartbeats and a loud engine all drowned out by a summer night being lived in a horrible way standing up, top down in a convertible jeep around the back roads of a small town and doing your best not to jump out and cry

The Other One About The Jeep
I love this I get to lay here In this smoky basement And be next to your body Incents burning in the darkness And the pull out bed is darned with Peacock blankets and worn green pillows And your ******* are perk in the light of a cigarette These rock walls and pillars aren't enough To trap the both of us Because within this room, we are invisible And around you I am invincible We stare through the black at each other Eyes in protest of the caliginous space around us And we see the warmth of acceptance in the air I can run these fingers along the smooth landscape of your skin And my tongue can skim slowly over you with a longing And my lips can caress yours with a delicious spark of heat Inciting the shudders throughout your body to take you These shadows around us can't understand Because in their two dimensional forms They will never caress your curves Or grasp the emotions needed to care about you So the darkness doesn't bother me I just need the quick paced breaths from you The fingers digging into my skin The lips and the tongues The dips and the rises And the realization that this is more Than *** at my house Pull your hair away from your eyes to look at me See the outline of my face The silhouette eclipsing the moon light from the window And the sweat on my brow Shining little droplets of "I want"

*** in the Shadows
Don't get me wrong, the mushy- gushy, shy tender first moments of love are important. But too many people have spent their lives writing about it. Comparing the beginning of love to: budding flowers, sunrise, summer, the list goes on and on. I say this not to be critical, as I too have spent hours writing about first encounters, and awkward yet tender first kisses and the beginning of love stories. But I will spare you another poem about the honeymoon phase. Society teaches us that "love" is always romantic and it's not real if it doesn't look and feel like a Nicholas Sparks novel. If we aren't feeling butterflies and being swept off our feet, then it isn't worth our time. Or, that our partner is wrong for us, if these attributes should fade over time. However, I have learned that society's version of love, is the version that sells, it's embellished to attract the masses. At the end of the day sometimes all love is, someone who checks up on you, someone who asks about your day and is genuinely interested. It's the person who has your back through thick and thin, who would never abandon you because they are angry or disappointed in you. It's time we as a society look a bit deeper than the surface of such a complex emotion and understand that love isn't always about blushing and stealing kisses in the dark. It's also about having a hand to hold, when you feel like it's you against the world. It's time we let the honeymoon phase become a perk, but not the definition of love.

He was one of those guys who marry money. And you can grok that in any sense you desire. But be forewarned, my friend, I am well-versed in a multitude of Marry-For-Money manifestations. Take, for example, marrying the Boss' daughter. Come with me, for illustration's sake, Join me in one such dis-functional household: George & Martha's place on campus-- A classic Tudor-revival home, Ivied & plushly-appointed, A coveted faculty perk Which goes along with the gig. And the gag, for that matter. I speak, of course, of Edward Albee's Two perversely miserable humans, Married to each other, to wit: George & Martha, leading lives of Pubis-scratching desperation, in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" She's the only daughter-- Daddy's precious jewel-- Only girl-child of the President Of a small, rural college. He's the middle-aged professor With no great pedagogic or research prowess. His working-class perspective, Viewing the quiet academic life to be A significant step up in genteel existence. Except--and there's the rub: Mere existence is a far cry from Living the good life Dan Draper & The rest of Satan's Mad Men minions Taught him to take for granted. So George & Martha, In terms of core values, Have little in common; More like opposites, in fact: His starvation diet as a child & Her helping out Mom at the Food Bank on Saturday mornings. It's those formative razzmatazz years, He lacked the behavior blueprint, The overwhelming fatigue of acting. He's perpetually memorizing lines, Practicing ****** expressions & Physical gestures & phrases. Guard up, another Oscar-worthy performance, Burton is superb & Elizabeth Taylor Showing us precisely why she is & Will continue to be revered as an actress. George knows she has his number. The thing about the play is the Intense malice the couple feel for each other. For the audience, an experience in stage drama Best classified as an intensely painful morality play. A good thing to remember: Live Theater Adds value to a community. Give generously, please! But I digress.

From beyond the clouds and stars, For a voiceless clear call, I perk my ears. The foam, froth and the very crux An orchestra of a trillion pieces the universe, You, me and the spirit binding it all, Resonate to the pulses of an unflinching light. Everything that is seen or invisible, With all that are known or not at all, Are tightly woven together as one! Any awareness otherwise, a mere fallacy, Let go, come be one with the pure essence!

All one; no two!
Here in dense darkness, alone I sit, and crave for the caressing rays of thy gentle light, nowhere near. Out side the balcony netted to keep the deviant doves away the city of million lights speaks in a jumble of numerous sounds. like my heavy heart, the overcast sky is a silent observer, holding light back. The silence within me kept deepening, every little light in this city night has a story to tell, I perk up my ears to hear. Every skyscraper silently exchange encrypted message of light of many kind, to one another, written on darkness. "I don't trust the night, she is a cheat" says one The other replies, "Oh! the night her luxurious dark hair heals" Within the discordant sounds what light etch on the night air has love and hate, sin and redemption. Neon pauses create a rhythm, the musical river flows on. Sitting here inside the cocoon, I did spin myself and inhabit, I think I see you there in the distant blue light, which you yourself embraced Will you be ever dreaming about my lonely plight, when you dive deeper in to your dark night?

In darkness alone I sit..
Your glass eyes shatter my innocence, As you peer behind their masked acceptance. Turning your back, on my over-exposed, leaking speech. Comparing your hazy, lustful embraces to my inescapable desperate moans. You perk up upon your pedestal, Finding pride within your superior lower number, Shaking your head in shame, as the unnamed masses Flash through your condescending imagination. Well, a pat on the back for you. And how about a high-5 too? After all, i'm just a prettier version, of a back laying **** Spread open to be invaded and wrung dry, Then tossed to the side- after a breathtaking ride, Too vulnerable to hide. And now too ugly for your eyes. I really am sorry, I should have just lied.

****
I think my cat's a drug addict, but it's difficult to know. It could be a problem with ******* by the way he bats at snow. I've already considered amphetamines seeing the way his ear's perk; though maybe its caffeine withdrawal, some days he's such a **** He could be hooked on ecstasy, his pupils often grow wide. Sometimes I suspect he's dropping acid since he just stares outside. It's possible he's smoking *** he's always in a haze. Maybe he's popping too many pills, as sleep takes up most days. My cat could be on ketamine and eating magic shrooms. It explains his invisible friends at night that he chases from room to room. He could be 'Chasing The Dragon' like he chases his tail or ball; Or **** or hash, or bath salts, hell, he's probably on them all! I should do something about it soon, he's becoming very dramatic. Tomorrow I'll check him into rehab, because I think my cat's an addict.

I Think My Cat's A Drug Addict

You're so dangerous with your profane paraphernalia Your pelvis postures pandering favor The line of your stomach embossed by the fire is like a pasture for me So paranoid with your pacifistic lust As you proceed to please me with your posture so slightly And I attempt to pursue oh so politely You make me perk up like a peacock just with one peak You're aware of every petty palpitation you can feel just under my sleeve You play me like a piano, so plush with your lust politics Pandering for a pardon of my ***** talk poignancy I part you like Pluto from your orbits serene hum I'll pleasure you, pleasure you until you're purple like a plum A pastimes poetises to be written with pleasing lead You plan every move like a predator in my bed You're polarizing, plump, and pampered like a pageant doll Pilfering every plausible pause with a pose of voice, your moan Seizing the post with your post - modern pompous pouncing Prompted like Pisces to postulate your prognosis Lifting your posterior like the pun of a phaliccy Pillaging me like a pandemic, a plague Something to be paraded by paganistic plauds Your pale skin is like playwear for sins You're pinning me plastered with the play of your grin Such a pretty motion picture to paint in the prison of your promise

P****
Gather round Perk up your ears And I will tell you a story I will kidnap your soul Enslave your senses My voice shall keep you rooted to your seat And yet take you far away To the highest tower of the darkest castle Five stars right of neverland Where dragons wait in golden caves And knights with magic swords come to slay them Gather round, gather round and hear the tale Let my voice fill the sails Of the ship that sets sail For fantasia, far fantasia Where prismacolor skies hang Above the island hideaways of pirates And the air will fill your lungs with fire Fly away with me on the leather wings of a mighty wyvern To the halls of Morpheus Where dreams to shift and change and form Where light and air and all things do bow to the king of stories Come with me on a journey beyond the veil of time To the place where they catch stars in silvery nets And keep them in little jars to light the way Gather round every one, as we begin our journey with a single step A step called Once upon a time…

The storyteller
You know, sometimes it really ****** me off how completely infatuated with you I am. I try so **** hard to be the quintessentially cool, calm, and collected one. Act like I don't immediately perk up and look around every single time I think I hear you walking my way. Like I don't check my phone regularly just in case I received some communication from you and missed it by chance. As if I don't await the moment my eyes get to settle upon your face, I get to wrap my arms around you, and press my lips to yours. Like hearing your voice isn't what starts my world spinning again when it's all stopped and also slows it down when I'm racing too fast and facing an imminent crash. But sometimes, every so often, I wish I could back up, pull away, distance myself even just the tiniest bit. That way when the casualest insult unfurls itself from your tongue, crawls between your teeth, and crosses those perfect lips of yours, I don't feel like the wind coming off your words knocks me over with such ferocity.

Wind Tunnels
have you ever tasted cherries on warm summer nights? the cherries that sparkle when you bite, that drip down your lips melting with the slick of your tongue. cherries, high up the trees, unattainable, beautiful. cherries that for a moment relieve you of your deityless existence. I ,too , have met someone unattainable, beautiful, high up in the trees a dancer with subtle glances at her own posture as she pursues her lip and tips her feet forward as she moves to the beat of life her breath tucked in making sure that every muscle is attentive her nerves singing and her gaze oh the gaze of someone of lustrous cherries held tightly to yours never letting go oh those twisted violets like the deepest of blue waters unattainable far away in a distant land the darks of iceland the rocks that perk up high mountains that rise up to the skies and tell you no the stormy winter nights that hodl tightly on and never let go and her that sits barely glancing your way as you conjure up memories and imaginations of her of stormy days of the clouds that waver over your face that do not let you go. She is all that she is intense. She is mystical out of this world not one to know not one to be whispered to, beauty she is. aphrodites daughter. Even if she is unknown to you the world knows of her. For she screams she screams and is grabbed the attention of 7 billion. she is a haunting memory. The touch of a spell that binds you into horror filled trenchuous nightmares. And when He holds her it crushes your very being you cannot breathe cannot see cannot be you are all hers you are devoted you have become the very essence of Her You cannot seem to look away. She exists ingrained into your eyes as you close them in your dreams enchanted into your heart she is the mystical of the world the fairy tales told by generations of generations, my love. whom i devote so strongly to whos cherry picked stares fumble up into a no. I am a meer mortal in her presence not one able to make her smile trying to get an ounce of her attention of her anything, her everything Please be mine please be mine please be mine you chant But you know He is there. The **** the wilderness wolf, cheating abyss. He has done her wrong but she does not see her as she dances the gentle way she moves black swan blue dozens the galaxies containing the answers we have seeked she does not look at you you are invisible but He does not see Her for who she is a painting a beauty out of this world she is not mine.

Hornier and hornier all the time, I'm lucky horniness isn't a crime. Checkin' out the new girl at work, She probably thinks I'm such a **** Trying to think of something to say, Anything to get a lay. I offer to take her out to eat, Someplace quiet, where the people meet. Later we can go out and dance, Thinking how to get in her pants. I take her out and ply her with liquor, It's true what they say, it really is quicker. I start making conversation, casual and trite, I start thinking, this is going to be a long night. Hoping that something will relieve my gloom, She suddenly suggests 'Let's get a room.' We get inside and my mind does a flip, We are all over each other as we start to strip. We ****** each other and start to kiss, My **** is hard, I'm in a state of bliss. My ***** points north as my hand reaches south, She takes my member and puts it in her mouth. My hand working her over we continue to pet, I know it is working, she becomes quite wet. I pull out of her mouth and put it in her mound, I get my back in motion as I begin to pound. Legs in the air, lying on her back, I start to punish her sweet little crack. Her soft moans turn to wild screams, Just like I imagined in my dreams. When it's over we say 'goodbye'. Happy to share this natural high. When we meet again at work, we have nothing to say, Just smile and ask, 'How was your day?' It is nice to have a job related perk, Makes me happy I went to work. 06-03-09.
