"print" poems
If I could turn back time I would hit Backspace all day, Id put on Caps Lock and SHOUT what I say. I'd use the whole Alphabet To tell you hello, Press seven Numbers Til you picked up the phone. I'd Tab through the comments I didn't want to hear, And use the Arrow Keys To drag your body near. I would Delete the harsh words I didn't mean to speak, And Insert the "I love yous" I before couldn't leak. I would use Ctrl to Keep reigns over my heart, And I would Escape lies That tore us apart. I'd Print out your photo And kiss it goodnight, Use the Calculator To check that we were right. I'd Paint you a picture of us, you and me, Then I'd hit Enter Just so you would see. Those are the things I would do in my strife, If only Backspace worked in real life.

Congratulations Donald J. Trump, Hats off to You
I remember when you were four I caught you drawing on the wall I couldn't get mad Instead I just laughed And I still have The finger print painting that you made In fact I had it framed I have every art piece you made To remind me that your always here with me spiritually All These tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's Holding you in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams We were at the hospital I was sitting beside your bed And you wiped the tears Underneath my eyes Then I heard you say Daddy please don't cry I like it better when you smile So I smiled Don't say no goodnights or goodbyes Yeah princess your my little fighter My inspiration, my perfection My saviour, my hope, my strength Your everything I am I'll carry that with me forever All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's Holding you in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams I still remember when I heard the doctor say (There's no heart rate) That line still haunts me Your mother and I fell to the floor Neither of us wanted to get back up It felt like we cried for hours And then I felt something give me strength Then I remembered what you said Daddy please don't cry I like it better when you smile So I pulled myself back up from the floor Took your mother in my arms Carried her back to the car You were every step You were every breath All These tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams I still remember when I heard the priest say May she rest with angels watching over her May they share there infinite love on high May they protect her blessed soul Let the Lord take her Into his loving arms To keep her safe from harm I said Amen to that princess And I've seen you in the stars Yeah you'll never be to far For we are always With in each other's hearts All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams Sometimes I sit in your empty room Imagine you playing, drawing Creating all those games You used to play With your vivid imagination A world of your creation It's like your still here I can feel your essence I can feel your presence In this place It's where I go to relive your memory That you left for me All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams ©2018 Written By Benji James

Hello A gesture perceived as formless waves in the Web Perhaps a luring trap to be caught or a silent cry as print Scarcely Red Maybe you Reddit or Won't As text is the voice of this generation Quote ILY My fam is so cute #Hashbrowns @MyBFFFFs Last looks of a father as he leaves with a dry cleaned suit. The last breakfast I ate with my family Together. Rebuked. Now it lays archived in the mind of i A memory fragment less intact than the Colossus of Rhodes What's that? Let me Google that. What will become of the crowd The voices, in their plight are "Like wow, Laughing Out Loud" Like apathy is the new trend Can we even say there is a greater purpose of the time we Spend.

I see you drinking at a fountain with tiny blue hands, no, your hands are not tiny they are small, and the fountain is in France where you wrote me that last letter and I answered and never heard from you again. you used to write insane poems about ANGELS AND GOD, all in upper case, and you knew famous artists and most of them were your lovers, and I wrote back, it' all right, go ahead, enter their lives, I' not jealous because we' never met. we got close once in New Orleans, one half block, but never met, never touched. so you went with the famous and wrote about the famous, and, of course, what you found out is that the famous are worried about their fame -- not the beautiful young girl in bed with them, who gives them that, and then awakens in the morning to write upper case poems about ANGELS AND GOD. we know God is dead, they' told us, but listening to you I wasn' sure. maybe it was the upper case. you were one of the best female poets and I told the publishers, editors, " her, print her, she' mad but she' magic. there' no lie in her fire." I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a cigarette and listened to you **** in the bathroom, but that didn' happen. your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn' help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over a river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you. I wrote back but never heard again. a friend wrote me of your suicide 3 or 4 months after it happened. if I had met you I would probably have been unfair to you or you to me. it was best like this.

He loved her and she loved him His kisses ****** out her whole past and future or tried to He had no other appetite She bit him she gnawed him she ****** She wanted him complete inside her Safe and Sure forever and ever Their little cries fluttered into the curtains Her eyes wanted nothing to get away Her looks nailed down his hands his wrists his elbows He gripped her hard so that life Should not drag her from that moment He wanted all future to cease He wanted to topple with his arms round her Or everlasting or whatever there was Her embrace was an immense press To print him into her bones His smiles were the garrets of a fairy place Where the real world would never come Her smiles were spider bites So he would lie still till she felt hungry His word were occupying armies Her laughs were an assasin's attempts His looks were bullets daggers of revenge Her glances were ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets His whispers were whips and jackboots Her kisses were lawyers steadily writing His caresses were the last hooks of a castaway Her love-tricks were the grinding of locks And their deep cries crawled over the floors Like an animal dragging a great trap His promises were the surgeon's gag Her promises took the top off his skull She would get a brooch made of it His vows pulled out all her sinews He showed her how to make a love-knot At the back of her secret drawer Their screams stuck in the wall Their heads fell apart into sleep like the two halves Of a lopped melon, but love is hard to stop In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs In their dreams their brains took each other hostage In the morning they wore each other's face

Planes streak across the wide October sky– The sun is setting– Contrails stream behind them, glowing scars of the evening. 
 The highest ones, they exhale the day’s gold, pure and sharp like fields of August wheat, dusty and late-summer charred. Redder and lower ones hug the skyline, No cloud to catch them, Fall like meteorites, the slow burn of a dwarf star Memories never print so vividly, slow burn sees fast death, Reds, golds and what's between, A brain is all catch-and-release
 So afterwards what should be left of this? Not but an umbra, Impressionist beauty,
 A mere relief of its source? 
Beauty’s slow fade is not the tragedy, –rather the reverse– That we fade to beauty, To never hold it in full.

**** My Vibe
Musings of a Police Reporter in the Identification Bureau You have loved forty women, but you have only one thumb. You have led a hundred secret lives, but you mark only one thumb. You go round the world and fight in a thousand wars and win all the world's honors, but when you come back home the print of the one thumb your mother gave you is the same print of thumb you had in the old home when your mother kissed you and said good-by. Out of the whirling womb of time come millions of men and their feet crowd the earth and they cut one anothers' throats for room to stand and among them all are not two thumbs alike. Somewhere is a Great God of Thumbs who can tell the inside story of this.

You want me to wear logos in my hair and purchase the matching scarf? A billboard for sale at the human scale Sporting your brand Oh, what a larf! Go Team Go! Print on a throw For the low price of fifty-four dollars I'd rather be happy not buying your sappy stuff that you sport on your collars you tell me to buy because i'll look fly and fill up my closet with swagger Believe when I say not one single day I'll fall to the dance of your dagger!

The Official Poem of the NFL
Pick me up, And open my cover, But be careful, Cause I might crumble, Read my fine print, Just don’t mock the way I am, I’ve been through alot since then, Drugs, Fights, Heart breaks, And more, Are all the things you’ll find, In my novel.

Worn out Book
You said you would **** it this morning. Do not **** it. It startles me still, The jut of that odd, dark head, pacing Through the uncut grass on the elm's hill. It is something to own a pheasant, Or just to be visited at all. I am not mystical: it isn't As if I thought it had a spirit. It is simply in its element. That gives it a kingliness, a right. The print of its big foot last winter, The trail-track, on the snow in our court The wonder of it, in that pallor, Through crosshatch of sparrow and starling. Is it its rareness, then? It is rare. But a dozen would be worth having, A hundred, on that hill-green and red, Crossing and recrossing: a fine thing! It is such a good shape, so vivid. It's a little cornucopia. It unclaps, brown as a leaf, and loud, Settles in the elm, and is easy. It was sunning in the narcissi. I trespass stupidly. Let be, let be.

There, I wrote it. Above. I simply believe it needs to be in print... out there, so to speak, And perhaps a few hundred may read, ******** And, hysterically, or in solace, Make use of it; Openly, lingusly or fingeratively, As we do ***** ****** and ******* (tsk-tsk). Whether you agree or not, please yourself.

'Tryna get to sunny Californy' - Boom. It's the awful raincoat making me look like a selfdefeated self-murdering imaginary gangster, an idiot in a rueful coat, how can they understand my damp packs - my mud packs - „Look John, a hitchhiker' „He looks like he's got a gun underneath that I. R. A. coat' 'Look Fred, that man by the road' „Some sexfiend got in print in 1938 in *** Magazine' – „You found his blue corpse in a greenshade edition, with axe blots'

The Silk Engineer
The way a devoted fan refuses to wash the hand touched by the one they admire, I recoil at the thought of thoughts that may interfere with our most recent talk, close my eyes so no new images hide the sight of your smile, your lips pursed in thought, your thin fingers brushing the wind-blown hair from your face, your leopard print sneakers, your hands in mine.... Or was it mine in yours? This is the dreaded foretaste of suffering. We both know what harm can come from holding on too tightly. We have learned by now that all things are impermanent. Nothing, not even this, should be clung to. We have wisdom on our side, you and I, and this is why we should survive this unsettling flood of love we feel.

Love and Wisdom
O mistress, your gentle eyes were a warm angel’s song. Your glazed almond skin was soft like a virgin's touch. Bound me in chains of desire and sin in your love dungeon. Your euphonic voice calls out to me like a raven’s tweet. I licked my lips and pleasured my ******* My face flushed like a thorny rose. I reached out to caress her tendril twine of hair. She whispered sweet nothings that filled the air. O mistress! Our love is wrong. In the heat of this forbidden love we embrace the eternal night, sharing a kiss in the moonless delight. My body’s a canvas, craving her touch I yearn for her sweet ********** Pain and pleasure whips me to shape. My love for her will always creep. O mistress, come close to me. Print your skin on my pale flesh. Prepare me for my best nightmare. Where you invite worship for this time. You stab me with love like a swordswoman and make art out of my darkness. No demon or god can tear us asunder. There is still beauty in this immoral hunger. O mistress, I submit every ounce of my soul to you. For you have your way with me for eternity. The bellowing echoes of ****** rumors will never take my love for you away.

Our Forbidden Love
the devil wears puppy-print pajamas and waits outside his vacant house for you to come, the devil calls you only by the first syllable of your name and tells you your hair is the most attractive thing about you, the devil gives you water in a coffee cup the first time you sit on his bed and accidentally spills it on you when he tries to kiss you, the devil has eyes like the murky lagoons he told you he would visit with you, and a scar the shape of a crescent moon on his forehead. the devil leans up against the wall and asks, "why are you doing this to me? you're making me feel so guilty." the devil doesn't pay his phone bill and ignores you when you say you need to talk, the devil calls once, twice, a few times, once at 12:45 when you swore he wouldn't call, and never again, the devil moves houses and forgets to warn you that he lost his heart in the process, the devil doesn't care that they drained the lake near his house, the devil doesn't notice that they took his ******* heart with it when they did.

the devil doesn't wear prada
A fashion designer has defended models who were labelled as "gaunt and unwell" on Facebook. Andrea Moore's I AM range is sold at Farmers, and an image from its current campaign was posted on that company's Facebook page on Friday. The picture features Chiara and Norina Gasteiger, who are twins represented by Clyne Model Management. Farmers customers did not react well to the now-deleted post. "They so look gaunt and unwell. I'm really disappointed," Newshub says Anna Webster commented. "You cannot look at these girls with their bones sticking out and believe that they are a good role model for a family store," Jo Austwick wrote. "I have enough trouble with body image arguments with my daughters without these images being depicted. They do not look healthy." Moore said the imagery had never been intended to cause offence, and that she felt for the Gasteiger twins, who have worked with the brand for three years. "The twins are actually healthy, fun models who are busy university students... We love working with them because of their sense of self-worth and uniqueness as twins," she said. "We have been in touch with the models and they were most upset by the whole thing. Fortunately, they have received a lot of support from their peers. "The campaign was about preppy grunge, print with an edge. [It was not] about promoting unhealthy body types [or] anything else," Moore added. Farmers posted the following statement on Facebook after deleting the I AM image: "Dear valued Farmers customers! We appreciate you taking the time to send us your comments and concerns on a recent post for I AM. Please know it is not taken lightly and we in no way mean to promote an image for women in NZ to follow that could be regarded as unhealthy. "We understand that no two bodies are the same and we always seek to show a range of body types throughout all our advertising. These images were supplied by the brand Andrea Moore as part of a wider campaign and were published by us. We will endeavour going forward to work closely with all our partners to ensure an appropriate image is portrayed. "Thank you once again for your valued feedback." Clyne Model Management have been approached for comment.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/cocktail-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/one-shoulder-formal-dresses

I like fishing, but dislike boats. I'm sick of washing, but still wear clothes. My brother-in-law hates the way I live my life. My sister keeps the peace, the good little wife. Mum, I haven't spoken to for many, many, weeks. Another life, another town, it's solitude she seeks. My common-law husband is wheelchair bound, You can't jump puddles with legs that are round. We own some land, the bank owns the house, If we miss a payment, they kick us out. You can't pitch a tent on the corner of the block, Reading the small print--they own the lot... Sailing and laundry, painful relations, Mid-life crisis and petty celebrations. Watching a loved one severe his spine, Angry with friends, 'cause they're walking fine. Another rejection or funds cancellation, Penning a poem to vent my frustration. Seeing the darkness in plain black and white, A smile on my lips--This is my life...
