Unto a broken heart
I adore women I refuse to apologize for it I like the way their voices squeak in the upper registers I like the fashions I like the makeup I like the aromas Not the silly runway catwalk Biz that relegates them as awkward mannequins adorns them in  the impractical and cloaks them in the  absurd overreaching  of  the tired  clamoring for something new and unique that which exploits  their  lithesome anorexic perplexing job requirement I like the way they can shape shift, alter and assume new identities I like the fact that some have mood swings and *** I marvel that they can give birth I like being aware that their  'water-weight' make's  them grumpy I'm astonished that they innately ovulate with  the cycles of the moon and that the Huntress Diana inherently  acquired her namesake Doesn't bother me a bit that "it's a lady's prerogative to be late" or that opening a door for them is considered 'sexist' I was raised with a sister and a mother with lace and dainty  frilly things I caused them a lot of aggravation and consternation I think they enjoyed it - nonetheless somewhat I refuse to apologize for it

a male's misgivings
When I chose to lay with you it's for the experience of ur life, not for you to catch feelings from just serveral nights. I really like you, don't get me wrong but my heart has been broken I'm not trying to write a love song. This is the thing. If we stop making love and just **** then don't you think the feelings will be mutual between the both of us? You grab my hips with one hand while the other caresses my back, I chose you for pleasure you think I have time for that. I rather have you pull my hair and smack my *** just a few pointers, for the next time I throw it back on ur delicious ***** I am the romantic type I do like it slow, but for now just run the red light and yellow light; green means go... We'll get to l<3ve making when the time is right, right now just be there for me when I need someone to hold me tight.                                  Sincerely                                         FWB

My prerogative
each stroke of greased fingers on the mohawk was a result of a genius work of art an outlet where my soul barely peeks yet you cut with your hypocritical shears and your rusty hand and you call it discipline and you call it concern I call it ******** the shadows on my eyelids were davincis and picassos sketched in a magnificent representation of inner self which you all want to see yet suffocate by your rotten curricula and you call it quality and you call it excellence I call it ******** the silver that glitters in these ears conceals the tortures of my youth the horrors that dwell in my every sleep yet you rip from my skin you are unworthy of touch and you call it decency and you call it suitability I call it ******** © Glenn L. Sentes

prerogative of an oppressed freshman
How many Does it take till Your personality Turns To a sorry Where you’re not The protagonist But the jury Call you guilty To your Prerogative I meant it the other way but no one see it So what can I sway One man army Fight towards believe Ion really **** with no body But they against me Drunk or high they exclude me From one of the best ideology I hate that Couldn’t even turn back time It could never  rhyme This isn’t old English Not a game Can’t even explain Poetry is vague Or even vain Mark of Kane I would not  explain   File a petition Fairness is not dismissive Mention something n That no one listen I’d share you what I have for your next visit.

How many names
Words are made of thoughts. I wish they'd intrude. I am lonely, unemployed with a nine to seven routine of various activities. A malignant trend courses through the head. Broadcasting it outside in the realm of trust where I am blank but set to go, it would have the appearance of a finely ambient glass of chocolate milk. Sometimes I'm asked why the relevance hinges on me. If I had to say, it's because I keep getting vignettes, like something out of a beggar's bowl, a wooden saltiness that becomes increasingly less involved. And, like, everytime I think about it, it's something similar to trying to walk on John Carter's Mars; and all of this trivial, like, asinine things can never match up to the draw, the pull of whatever has been dropped, whatever has been shorn unevenly like a badly eaten candy-bar. Or something. I don't know why it has to be about me. I don't, pull my weight, and recently I feel cold in the summer; I have slept under a bedsheet since June. That's not what this is about, or what I, want to project. This isn't a prerogative, a jarring hiss of due-dates incoming inevitably. I just **** Which is not a surprise, like organic web shooters is a surprise, or, thinking up something like a dead polemic of a sewer draining the sordid leftovers of a consciousness.

How does the competent optimist endure the positives opposite? The prerogative to remain positive is the only option for an optimist. Every day is a happy belated celebration of its creation. Exposing pearly white incisors to express a bipolar condition. A giant grin with lips spread open. A face with a giggle in the face of sin to face demons. The monster with in becomes, a polite ******* delight, a young baby boy eating joy, the excitement emitting the submission to a feeling of complete air under the soles of feet. The feat of sky walking never lukewarm, a feeling newborn. Yesterday was the best day ever you could have sworn. However, today will be so much better the endeavor to find pleasure in everything and whatever.

The Optimist
A nomad's home is the road His favorite spot, the window. The eyes wander constantly Heightened by their vicinity. A nomad adores people To his travels, they're fuel. Differences is what he seeks A common ground is what they'll reach. It's a nomad's addiction Have this world leave an impression. He'll get smitten with a place Set off, but not without a trace. It's a nomad's prerogative To venture, for him, is to live. Memories in his suitcase New experience, he'll embrace. For a nomad, it never stops There's no such thing as enough. Globe-trotting is a purpose This nomadic life he chose.

The nomad
When I was 17 I wanted to be just like it.   A girl of the heedless, of a twisted wind And lashing overstory. Bold in choice eyes burning gallant When I stood not alone On screaming nights In crowded habitation Writing my future’s Threatening tumult Apart from regularity Prerogative, accompanying grail Withered leaves of change. Left with nothing more, But to turn them over.

Intrepid
Day in, day out, the skies grow weary As each day passes by, life becomes dreary In time I've grown out of this world As if I won't even seem to care for someone For I've shown none to anyone I've made several women cry I've angered men but I do not know why I've let my emotions die And left out my heart dry I am Mr. Insensitive I often think in a negative manner I carry the face of sadness as my banner I embody a life living on a masquerade as my prerogative I've lost track of myself a long ago I do not know if this is the effect of a broken heart And an effect of a man searching for his The lost soul as he ventures the darkness of life

Mr Insensitive
Let the a.n.t.s sleep Warm and dry blankets Let the victories of the future brace you Body molesting wind demons false but True Cloak yourself in my laughter Grab reality and pull a book out of your spleen, with a Dim mak to sentence your fears to death. The first page is eternity, Stay within the pleasure, bathe in it, Body hyper aware, unclouded vision Disrobe, and bathe in it Open the door and begin It is Unjust not to Press Play..... It will all rush forward, and you will breath freely. Trumpeted like the arrival of an avatar of the love goddess. Cool cheeks, unmarked by tear tracks.. Built back up with the love you feared had departed. I'm pitiful alone. It is emotions prerogative to make its opinion known. These feelings cannot be ignored. Doing so makes things worse. Let confidence be always with you For all time Unending Everyday All day long You can honestly talk to me. Trivial questions. Something burdening your breast. I can make you feel better, if only for a handfull of minutes. You'll float away, but later crash on heavy thought. However.... You know  For several reasons The outcome is always the same Mind games are involuntary muscle spasms, it is an affliction of chaos tourettes, inherited from a goblin ancestor, Straighten your shoulders, I am here to reassure you,  Every day it will get lighter The stress will be less, the panic will simmer The message is salvation, in acceptance of the depth of the love felt for you. I am here to listem. Stop being kicked around by your thoughts. Feel instead, gliding into a gathering of like minds. I dare not say the full extent of what I know, and what I feel is transparent. It grants me sanity The compulsion to sing Satisfying smashed hearts Feeding your lips Sanctifying your suffering into submission Fulfilling a proper apology for the perversions. You have won the war.

My heart could explode as I sit before you and even so- With each jagged edge- I would still love I have learned the meaning of bravery And love most certainly is the prerogative of the brave However I will not lay to be struck a fool- A fly in the widows web- Bundled and motionless- Awaiting to be drained of my will I will fight with the prerogative of the self respecting I will hold my head and my heart high- Whatever the condition may be (C) Tiffanie Noel Doro

As fishes wriggling The entirety of their slippery bodies In vast oceans, lost in the glory of waters Instincts meander Their way through to the mind In a pool of imagined Sensuality with wanton desires A longing for the temporal Poignantly stands ***** In the throne-room of man's emotions Motioning with a seemingly motionless demeanor Unfulfilled cravings Cradles persistence In his goal oriented pursuits Thoughts are repressed Mental imageries suppressed To pave way for ********** Of pleasantly positive feelings Yet the uncouth lingers Occasionally engages the enthroned In scrimmages in their bid to dethrone them Man holds the prerogative To serve either of them willingly Equally, man possess all it takes to be Heinously hedonistic And heartily attractive in personality To please society None can reach complete perfection At both extremities © Seth Boss Kay @ 19/10/2013

IMMINENT SENTIMENTS
I long to talk with some old lover’s ghost, Who died before the God of Love was born: I cannot think that he, who then loved most, Sunk so low as to love one which did scorn. But since this god produced a destiny, And that vice-nature, Custom, lets it be, I must love her that loves not me. Sure, they which made him god meant not so much, Nor he in his young godhead practised it; But when an even flame two hearts did touch, His office was indulgently to fit Actives to passives. Correspondency Only his subject was; it cannot be Love, till I love her that loves me. But every modern god will now extend His vast prerogative as far as Jove. To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the God of Love. Oh were we wakened by this tyranny To ungod this child again, it could not be I should love her who loves not me. Rebel and atheist too, why murmur I As though I felt the worst that love could do? Love might make me leave loving, or might try A deeper plague, to make her love me too, Which, since she loves before, I’m loth to see; Falsehood is worse than hate; and that must be, If she whom I love should love me.

Love’s Deity
They say that love is blind The truth is just, love is pure. She is patient, she is kind, She’s unrefined and yet, demure. Through her looking glass she sees Spots of flaws and marks of pain Why do you cry so much, darling? How can I never make you feel that way again? Love should know that beauty fades, She should know that looks are weak But love cannot be easily stuck in place Not all who claim to find can truly seek. Are you the measure of the man? So wonderful in writing But is your face too faithless Shockingly unbeguiling. Is love so shallow that she can’t see How you give her the world? But is it her prerogative to be After those who make the heart twirl? Will love be another one with a seven With plenty of zeros to his name? How does her nature suffer When it is love you seek to tame?

It was supposedly a birthday gift, this long-legged razor's edge. My brother must've seen me watching it's live demonstrations. Little did he know, how skilled I thought myself to be. The wrapping came off easily. It was crudely shredded by a lesser blade soon to be replaced. Then the weapon itself glared at me through the clear plastic window of its box. Unsheathing it then, I felt its power come to me, two steel legs spreading for a ****** murderer. I probed it meticulously, the blade caught the light and somehow swallowed it before its appendage whirled across to conceal it. This was a knife with thoughts. Then I tried my first trick. The blade danced elegantly, and though I held on (for dear life) it wanted to escape from my clutches. I was caging it gracelessly between my fingers and its first prerogative was to be free. Still holding tight, it changed tactics, a blood thirst radiating from within. The next move would be my last. For one split-second it escaped the probation of my palms, somersaulting through the air above me. It pointed downwards for a final coup de grâce. I divorced myself from the weapon that day, stitches adorned my bloodied hands and the blade was taken as evidence, though for what trial I never discovered. My brother tossed it into the sea, I found, legs still spiralling, blade still sharp.

You must have known. That day I held your hand and you held my gaze And the air was thick with smoke and unspoken words and tiresome clichés. Your eyes crinkled softly like they always do. Always, always in the pretentious books I would pour over for hours as I try to envision myself right there, Comforting myself with the idea that someone, one day, will dance with me to the sound of nothing but two hearts beating in unison. There is something desperately intimate about oxygenation. Always in these silly, profound books, they describe their darling’s eyes with every hue known to man. Deep, aquamarine, sparkling crystal orbs that you would be so happy to drown in. Entrancing and stormy forests. Pools of warm honey with gold flecks in them, sweet as dandelion wine. I will not condescend to compare your eyes to saccharine. Or bodies of water, for that matter, or trees. I will not waste time equalizing them to shades of the rainbow. What are eyes, really, Other than a means to see? All that is beautiful and all that is clean. I hold my own eyes in higher esteem than yours, dear, Because they allow me to revel in the way yours light up when you smile. How the skin underneath creases and wrinkles in all the most endearing ways Like the infinite pages of a book in some foreign language That only I can understand. The ability to do so is a prerogative of the infatuated. I wonder if you’ll let me read this book more often now that we’re here, two forgotten souls grinning stupidly at each other in the dark. You must have known, then, that I would spend every day of the rest of my life reading this book if you only allowed me to do so. Embedded in my mind was the way the corners of your mouth shot up towards the heavens. I did not have to trace it to know that it was there. You must have known. There was not a crumb of my being you did not hold in the callused palm of your hand. All of the streetlights were doused by the blanket of the night and it was truly not a movie-worthy moment because there were no stars and the moon was out of sight and there were stray cats padding around in the neglected garbage dumpster and I could not even remember why we were laughing so hard and I loved you. Unequivocally.

The fragments of the sumptuous thirty-plus have been dispersed about me These shards, not merely placed here accidentally, rather having found their way through the hands of one who would have them for a night then repudiate them. That’s how it would seem to the hordes of eyes who’s business goes unattended for that sole reason. Now it is my duty to live with a title others who bear the plague of an unburdened dangling protuberance as a prerogative of the captivatingly covetable. Through those very eyes they exert themselves to live vicariously through your eyes. How foolish are the feeble minded. to so easily set out on a self cataclysmic odyssey. When viewed from the eyes of the sumptuous thirty-plus the perspective have been effectively skewed. The acclaim you were once engrossed in has altered. Transmutation has taken effect. Soon the communal cogitation of the multitudes will subsume the feeble minded Thus creating only one possibly point of terminus: solitary confinement.
