Why would it be bad To have cake and also eat it? Why is that a metaphor of greed? What else should I do with cake? It could be a piece of art Something beautiful to behold But it’s purpose is to be eaten It’s cake Yes, I would like my cake And to eat it as well I want to enjoy The things I enjoy Not simply to hold them in my hands Stare at them upon a platter Wonder what they taste like I want to eat the cake It was made for someone to eat Why not me? Too much cake Will make me fat The sugar and flour Conspire together to build a gut It is not healthy to eat cake daily I cannot keep cake in the house The temptation is too great But everything in moderation A piece of cake here and there To be had and to be eaten Is a nice treat The daily grind of salads and chicken Nuts and fish Avocado and eggs and water Will keep me healthy Grounded So when I feel like cake I can have it Order cake for dessert Or to celebrate a birthday An accomplishment Or anniversary No one bats an eye But order cake for breakfast? Might just incite a riot There is a time and place for cake Society has deemed it so We are not the rulers of our own lives (Though we could be) Instead our culture dictates The rules of life Steak for breakfast or for dinner But not lunch Bread goes with every meal Eggs and bacon are for the morning But at night is a nice treat - on occasion Beer after five But it’s five o’clock somewhere And somewhere Someone is ready for dessert So **** it Let’s eat this cake That I have procured You and me, together Let’s have our cake And eat it too

I sold smack on a playground today biding time to scrounge the rent-- Two months ago I had never even seen the stuff. I'd never procured it for personal use, let alone sold it. Now I'm a full-time pusher of prescriptions for problems that can't be cured, a modern-day snake-oil salesmen schlepping panaceas for every conceivable ill. *Trying to cope with depression? This'll give you a shot in the arm! Your boyfriend just broke your heart mere weeks after breaking your ***** Here's a ***** that you can depend on*... I thought I was better than this, but who can afford scruples with bills to pay? Internally I struggle to compete with people who would never deign to take note of me. My revenge is in undermining their immaculate lives, a pill-peddling Socrates keeping creditors at bay. I'd always envisioned being someone's hero-- at least being remembered for an act of creation. Instead I'm an enzyme for eradication. A cancer cell at best-- A ****** wrecking ball. One day I woke up a sidekick to a heroine that's never saved anyone...

I think I've procured myself again The word 'filth' comes to mind (For lack of a better word) Yeah, I'm a ***** Unmetalled in the interface It took yet another 'kind' word Or should that be 'false' word To realize what they think of me To think With their mangled good looks Ubiquitous in psyche Like they ever gave a chocolate-flavoured **** Soon they'll all have had a go with me And i'll become How do you say? Sui generis? Numb betwixt the thighs I 'detest' myself (For lack of a better word) And I stare at the periwinkle To find relief And that's still no relief Because I'm jealous of periwinkle The capita thinks it's 'beautiful' And of course 'I am no periwinkle' (For lack of a better understatement) For lack of a better me.

For Lack Of A Better Me
Pompeii stood proud near Naples. Close to Herculaneum. When in August of AD 79. Volcano magnificent erupted. Without nonchalance. A buried city born. Complete with frescoes of erotica. Were subject to ancient censorship. City modern with flowing water. Trendy port. Gymnasium. Modernist by all accounts. Population 20 000. Mostly perished in brimstone's evacuation. From the deepest depths of hell. Suffocated nearly all. Asphyxiated on vile fumes. Eruption cataclysmic. City buried far underground. By written description. 'Tis believed that hell on earth unleashed. The day following magical celebrations. Worshiping Vulcanalia the Roman God of Fire. Ironic tragedy procured. Few survived the tragedy. Those that did ran free Anarchy, starvation. Mainly petty larceny. Landscape near destroyed. Pliny the Younger wrote in a letter. Vivid description of images seen as Pliny the Elder tried to rescue a few. Felt perhaps had a duty to do. Was admiral proud of the Roman fleet. His life taken in forfeit as citizens from the ash world perished. Pax Romana followed tragedy. Dealt such a wicked card. Embalmed in ash citizens lay. Locked forever on the spot as they ran away!

Death of Pompeii !!
Reach into the nothingness Like a warm breath slipping into the cold night Hands outward, eyes open, upwards towards the sky Embrace the silent subtle voice Which hides behind the daily routines But is no less mindfully alive Cast images onto the fog itself Until you've seen the many dreams which you've procured for yourself In this cloudy life Breathe with the forgetfulness of evey waking step   As you amble through these miles set With jawline firm and eyeline slight Smile at the passing sight of another universe in tow Which ambles by and out of view As your inward story comes alive And live not in line with every Crow on any high wire But fly as if there were no tomorrow in your quiet sigh Upwards and towards the sky

Towards The Sky
I stared catatonic nonstop and could not pull my eyes away or scream except for the great internal scream and I felt like death was upon me, or nearly so. And my body asleep but my mind twisted and my eyes awake wide-open and no dream this was but real things and then my thoughts put outward and all these things terrible formed into death-shadows and flowed down through the fabrics above my head. 

 Flesh undulating in darkness that creeped and I found ten seconds of courage to sit up and stare at the wall as the rippling fabric became a thousand black snakes crawling down from the ceiling and out from my dreamcatcher that did nothing at all but release these terrors from the wall. And I thought it was sordid wind that came in gusting through my window that made my sheets become like a mechanical sea but it was not so, and these vile snakes poured out like ***** from some gaping maw above and went underneath my bed and all through the floor to the four corners of my room and then came together again above on the center of my ceiling and murmured death-talk and horror-faces from the walls and ceiling and even closing my eyes would bring nothing but flashes of demonic children and things with no jaws or eyes hollowed out and terrible ghosts I procured and almost choked out laughter because this was it and I've finally gone and gone mad 

There was a man at my closed door wearing my jacket that hung on a hook and his face was the face of a skull that hung above my door and from the corner of my eye the man with the door on his back with the coat still attached walked with silent step toward my bed, and I turned to look at this figure and instead of snapping back against the wall like all nightly visions should; he stood there, and as I stared at him I saw slow moving black legs receding against the wall but the horrors of his feet were ten thousand worm bodies and black leathery fingers of bats and crawling things and my carpet floor was no longer static but a creeping madness, and my body trembled as if it were being continuously dropped from heights a hundred times over and great odious black pillars and monoliths slid steadily up the corners of my room with arms that then burst out to the middle into nothing but a smiling cheshire grin and I could not move anymore and just stared until my mind went numb and like the first sunlight upon the last fog before dawn, I awoke.

“into the women-coloured twilight” from Post Impressions (VI)   by E. E. ******* *there is a woman here who seeded in a ‘darling,’ awhile ago, thinking it passed unnoticed but wax polished and jewelry bag separate kept placed in a soft Etsy silken purse suitable for holding precious iou’s, vision her in the fields picking up the fragrance of bulbs from soil, now scented upon a working woman's gloves, arrival timed, in the woman-colored twilight of e.e.’s woman, knowing she will be both prepared and unprepared, perhaps for my recital, certainly, my comings unexpected* she knows I come with no singularity or multi-purpose, except to complete this poem with proper decorum, decorum properly undefined, but how many fictitious poems scribbled in between the living days, in plastic bags to keep, till a grounded definition is someday procured April 2019

“RENDEZVOUS SONNET” “The long day wanes the slow moon climbs, My pale enclave inspires me to write, That of our midnight love rendezvous, As well as awful dreams of life’s hardships, All can be forgotten of travesty’s that followed, As I easily compare you to a light of stardust, Traipse of her breaching my mind of that day, Thinking of your prompt nobility fills my days. My love for you is the dedicated anamnesis, Our heated times of past frolics of seasons, Our summertime on the immense sleepy hollows, The sounding furrows for my purpose holds It may be that the gulfs will wash us down, The prudence labor loving procured slowly, Whisking your rugged ways and thro's endings, Subdued only to thro’s closure of laudability, Ode to my rendezvous sonnet” By Andrew Guzaldo 08/14/2018 ©

“RENDEZVOUS SONNET”
The new-born child of gospel grace, Like some fair tree when summer's nigh, Beneath Emmanuel's shining face Lifts up his blooming branch on high. No fears he feels, he sees no foes, No conflict yet his faith employs, Nor has he learnt to whom he owes The strength and peace his soul enjoys. But sin soon darts its cruel sting, And comforts sinking day by day, What seem'd his own, a self-fed spring, Proves but a brook that glides away. When Gideon arm'd his numerous host, The Lord soon made his numbers less; And said, "Lest Israel vainly boast, My arm procured me this success!" Thus will He bring our spirits down, And draw our ebbing comforts low, That saved by grace, but not our own, We may not claim the praise we owe.

You need sunglasses when your staring at me Cause the light I emanate scars the retina of my enemies There is no cure for the blindness you will endure A pain perpetuated by the ignorance so perniciously procured Squared against an inevitable death I easily steal your breath from the barrel of my Smith and Wess Watching your hollow tears bleed on the canvas I project a cataclysmic disaster wrapped up in a dismal death We sit here at the pinnacle of our lives speaking in shadows Masking our mouths from what we oblige Stop and listen to the earth as it decries The subtle architecture of this worldly demise So as we kick back and sorely reside I’ll be the change in the coming tide Caged inside tortured flesh I search for rest to keep the human condition suppressed But all I find each time that I design a new quest I become a servant of death Invigorated by the test I stretch my consciousness to tear the limbs off your chest and beat you senseless I won’t stop there, I’ll slit the throat leaving you without hope and then drown it in Everclear While I may seem like a cynic I’m not through with these gimmicks Lacerating your heart with the bones I striped from your tendons I’m not an advocate of violence but Sometimes the pilot of peace needs to be reached by setting loose the destruction we inherently seek We sit here at the pinnacle of our lives speaking in shadows Masking our mouths from what we oblige Stop and listen to the earth as it decries The subtle architecture of this worldly demise And I’ll hide my words with silence And I’ll no longer become violent Just another subservient machine lost in a sea of tyrants I won’t be blunt here I’ll keep dropping metaphorical bombs onto your ears Until all my peers understand the imminent plan that needs to be adhered: Stop short cause change is impossible to purport Don’t dream cause it’ll get shattered with a corporate hammer Stay sinking in a world that raises a stagnant banner Assimilate with the overzealous overweight materialism that manifests in the minds of the poor and is perpetuated by strip malls and ******

Remainder: Zero Point One (repeating)
The most vile of all poisons More potent than any snakes venom Deadlier than all spider's saliva on earth Worse than any brew procured from any apothecary This most sweet of all delicacies Makes men dose themselves 100 times With the most lethal of all drugs Leaving only destruction and mayhem in its wake Though tolerable, and even so far as beneficial, in moderation Seldom if ever does it stay that way for long Like a rock rolling downhill The speed of drinking speeds up til no one can stop it Causing pain and suffering, not only for the abuser But anyone near the blast zone Moderation is the key to all things And this toxic concoction is certainly no exception Keep an eye on yourself, and don't be dumb Don't drink more than from pinky to thumb

Go now! Spiteful conveyer For your close counsel is false and needless Don't call to discuss your woes and infidelity Or use others to shield your sworded encounters No affirmation of friendship is ever trustworthy As swathed thy black soul is with treachery Chased away, no drove away happiness between others With bitter contempt and yet brazen still thy protest, yet they called you friend. Friend! How that was mocked For they had nothing, save one thing you could not buy, only love Yet you clouded a heart that needed help Drove it to darkness and despair Was it a fantasy of what was never yours that procured a lie Or was it simply jealousy? The man who did not desire you? Why not he simply must! The man who asked nothing only friendship Desired nothing of you nor wanted of you. Yet you destroyed what warmth he found with another Thou shalt not covet! Yet you did. Oh but he kissed her so tenderly He kissed her ! Not you He spoke of her Held her Loved her Not you It was all about you   But Was never you

#Anonymous  (1730s ?) In good King Charles's golden days, When Loyalty no harm meant; A Furious High-Church man I was, And so I gain'd Preferment. Unto my Flock I daily Preached, Kings are by God appointed, And Damn'd are those who dare resist, Or touch the Lord's Anointed. ***And this is law, I will maintain Unto my Dying Day, Sir. That whatsoever King may reign, I shall be Vicar of Bray, Sir!*** When Royal James possessed the crown, And popery grew in fashion; The Penal Law I hooted down, And read the Declaration: The Church of Rome I found would fit Full well my Constitution, And I had been a Jesuit, But for the Revolution.  And this is Law, &c. When William our Deliverer came, To heal the Nation's Grievance, I turned the Cat in Pan again, And swore to him Allegiance: Old Principles I did revoke, Set conscience at a distance, Passive Obedience is a Joke, A Jest is non-resistance.   And this is Law, &c.; When Royal Ann became our Queen, Then Church of England's Glory, Another face of things was seen, And I became a Tory: Occasional Conformists base I Damn'd, and Moderation, And thought the Church in danger was, From such Prevarication.   And this is Law, &c.; When George in Pudding time came o'er, And Moderate Men looked big, Sir, My Principles I changed once more, And so became a Whig, Sir.

933 Two Travellers perishing in Snow The Forests as they froze Together heard them strengthening Each other with the words That Heaven if Heaven—must contain What Either left behind And then the cheer too solemn grew For language, and the wind Long steps across the features took That Love had touched the Morn With reverential Hyacinth— The taleless Days went on Till Mystery impatient drew And those They left behind Led absent, were procured of Heaven As Those first furnished, said—

Two Travellers perishing in Snow
Good evening to all, I shall be your host So won't you all raise your glass's please A tribute like this, requires a proper toast So take this one moment in time and freeze For on this eve we shall honor all the ghosts Who have epiphanied us all to our knees So no matter who you may love the most Let the collective works remind us to seize The day, started out different, I'm not a morning person by any means But this morning I awoke, with clear thoughts and vivid dream scenes It was as if my body was merely a vessel and my mind was possessed But instead of my soul fighting to wrestle It conceded, for I was blessed A voice spoke to me for all of humanity And warned that the words that I will channel May have people questioning my sanity Convicted by a psychoanalytic jury and panel I was sound asleep when a voice awoke me from my bed A whisper "Listen closely to me", the first ghost softly said "There is absolutely no reason to sleep, after you are dead So please share the words that I place in your head" he pled Young man, rest is assured, allow me set the presage After words are procured and you send my message You will slumber so peacefully knowing these deeds Shall contribute to billions of thought provoking seeds" I said "let me sleep on it", for it was a very long day that I had endured But I must admit, the concept of immortality absolutely had me lured He said, "Just remember words are meaningless once you leave earth Goodnight sir, and by the way, my name is William, for what it's worth

When ships set sail, their masts held high Daunting flags, painting the sky With rails gold rimmed And sails sharp trimmed A crowd appears, waving adieu, goodbye Thunderous roar, unequaled praise Wind catching sheets Anchors raised A bell rings softly and waves do lap Against the hull of a wooden throne From far off shores this scene is spied With two friends of oars we've always tried To reach for that deck In fervent eye Climb on board or surely die Tattered clothes, sailors cap Smudge on cheek Shirt of burlap We push off deck Yet crowd is gone A journey ventured with bright sun dawned Water ripples with our wake Small and steady pulses we make Though we row to catch schooner bold As we creak of wooden old Land gestures for us to stay Why venture out on choppy bay? Whispers roll and caustic laugh With sun beat oars a line is set No motive sweeter, nor regret Sweat beads mix with salty froth Cutting across the water green Battleship chugs with billowed steam A voice escapes you as you scream Sputtering away, with muted cries And oars but stop Far from home As head does drop Splintered hull tears apart We're left to cling to shattered planks And fight to stay afloat Alone With far off yacht a speck Atone for water slapping neck We groan with defeated boat and deck Driftwood in salty surf Connecting with shore We walk back to land Imprints swallowed by golden sand A new rowboat to be procured Again we build to flag down our Brig And stand upon its polished bow We persist to where we are but now As we strive to grasp victory bell We strive ever onward To sail with our destined Caravelle

Sometimes I feel so gloomy, Got a brand new bag of shroomies And now my blues are through There’s one last thing to do…. Trip out (trip out) Let’s go for a walk Trip out (trip out) I wanna smoke some *** Trip out (trip out)  I'm tripping out man!

Ode to Bob Ross
subtlety is not a trait I possess well, when I mention late night texts and infatuation here and there I mean you, the problem is that I've been here before and I've fallen too fast. the problem is that I build these walls that cave in quickly and resolutely; I am a dreamer of romance and like procured fat bouquets of sunflowers unexpected, quilts, meaningful embraces where the whole world drops right out of your stomach. I worry myself because this heart is so brittle; it's known to have been dropped a time before; I'm sick of sweeping up slivers of organs like glass, always laying everything that means anything out on the table for people to poke around in like I am some kind of mystifying tag sale. even though things seem different this time, they don't, really, anxious wrists and fingers that don't hold pencils very tightly, hugging sweaters and the memory of a quite lovely monday night and some really awful ones time and time before.

from the words that carve our lives
burning pages. epiphanies procured through the pages of a book. let's burn the already ones read. i doubt the meaning of life is within the confines of the downed pink capsules. the hollow shell of a human form. i keep validating it. chemical communication has every place here. the warm. hands clickity clackety against the keys. because they are home. furiously scribbling is the one organic anecdote. throwing a verse down is much preferred to THROWING DOWN. which is what human nature gives on the tendency to fantasize about. let's not quabble over semantics here. (and let's not mention fantasy). i'll check for justification in the mirror image of my face in the bottom of the carrot-stick bag. no such luck, the soul ain't there either. WANT TO VERBALLY SPAR, BABY? i don't think you, nor i have the ability. (actually i do, it's more your well-being i'm concerned about) erstwhile you sit and wait for the first attack, you should think into purchasing some pantene. 2.99 at walgreene's. i've forgotten what i've started for. so let's not quabble over semantics here. the death of white roses are never wept over. it's expected. (maybe a vase in the corner is quite befitting of the lovely token of hopelessness) it's like a catch-22, it's like fighting a losing battle.it's winning something like a full paid scholarship to plumber school, or finding out your best friend is a **** on christmas mourning. merry christmas. one should be cautious in stealing public property. the owner hadn't left it out for the recycling. you should have read the label. and you: i'm done.

Bones decayed Muscle & skin flayed Near decade long agony endured Endless wait for no remedy procured Persons laugh and gibe Hellions unable to repent or apologize Lovers leave or never give a chance "Meeting you was an unfortunate circumstance" 21 years of life lived Nothing but difficult and destructive
