"Psycho"somatic
Upon every arrival of every celestial birth, There is only one common normality. A susceptibility to an infinitesimal design, A kink in the chain, the war of our mind. This psychosomatic condition is no stranger, A rendition of life’s existence. Confinement exacerbated by poor health in the gut line, Hormonal imbalances manipulated by addictive influences. Paradigms shifting in front of awakening eyes, Psychedelic truths hidden within the tides of time, Confusion and conflict preventing expansion of evolutionary consciousness, A cyclic pattern, the sadness in all our lives. This idea is immortal and internal in the human genome, The greatest subterfuge, Amnesia

A Psychedelic Conundrum
I'm at my wit's end. Fed up, burned out, sick and tired. Racing through alcohol fueled depression because I'm not free, to be me. Judged, criticized, crucified held to the expectations of other people's self-serving morality. I'm a cog in a machine, rolled under the wheels, of a small business owner's capitalist pipe dream. I'm a pawn in a game of war of money of politics. Mislead, misdirected. mission critical prime directive. It's a story as old as "civilization" all of this dehumanization. Turning me into something that serves you better. I'm warning people to stay away from me because I see through their **** and its ******** on ******** on ******** on ******** I'm warning people I can't take much more because every human being is an ******* and a ***** Because we put these labels on being truthful and free. Because someone put a label on you and now you put one on me. Because someone taught you its okay, to be ignorant and mean. And now I, have become indignant and belligerent which is just one step away from being just like you. But how do I move away? Do I pack up the truck and literally move away? to where? Are people somehow better somewhere? Or do I just get as far away as I can from them, from you? Living off the grid makes it hard to get laid. Living off the land makes it hard to get paid. And you've been raised to be a slave, a wage parasite on a dying host. You want more than to survive. You want to thrive. You want to live forever but will die of cancer or suicide. The baby jesus inside me has its face smashed into a tv screen. The buddha inside me is tired of taking the blame. If every step kills a bug and every bite kills a plant and every breath kills a microbe and every death of a dictator kills a universe of bacteria then the only right action is inaction and every action is inherently wrong. Morality is a psychosomatic symptom and our system is inherently flawed. I try to escape and it seems like there's no way. There's no light at the end of the tunnel, and no traction on the corpses of the fallen. There's a dream of hermitage, and the sadness that follows. There is sadness in every corner bar and every heartbeat. Sadness in every wilted limb and worried brow. Sadness in every frustrated plea for release. Sadness in the teardrops of the creation. Sadness tumbling down like shards of glass from the millions of dreams broken by the machine. Constant grinding.

anxiety: my heart wakes me up, tattooing irregular beats against my ribs, pulse racing, breath shaking. i cannot tell if this is real or psychosomatic. these days, i think about death all the time, no longer by suicide. now, i am an accident waiting to happen, fragile from years of misuse & neglect. the shallow inhales of my lungs tell me i am not okay. depression: this is a gray day. i swallow my meds even though they take away my mania. so i drink black coffee until my mind races itself in circles, chasing its tail like a rabid dog. i keep the razors hidden in my sock drawer, just in case. anorexia: my ribs ****** forward from my skin again, the sharp protrusion of my bones beginning to show through. i am eating but drinking my weight in water & mainlining caffeine to keep my metabolism high & my weight low. i am still child-sized & i don't want to grow. they lift me easily with their arms & marvel at my featherweight body. the compliments i get only make me eat less. self-harm: on the days when i am low, i trace the silver stretch of scars scattered over my skin with a yearning for a blade between my fingers just one last time. i swear to you, the bleeding is over, but i need to know i am still brave enough to hold a sharp edge against my flesh & press down, hard. addiction: a month ago, i downed four adderall in one sitting, luxuriating in the heady rush & lack of pain, the quiet & the calm. when i lived at home, i stole my mother's vicodin & took the whole bottle. i'm not sorry. when the boy who only cared about ******* me offered mdma for free, i accepted, but i shouldn't have trusted him to keep me safe, blacking out on his kitchen floor. drink red wine to forget my insecurity, inhale thick, sweet smoke to feel some semblance of happy, drag on cigarettes down to their filters until i feel properly alive. all i want is to be better, but where to begin?

I'm looking for a hailstorm to run blindfolded through For the sake of refief A psychosomatic firing squad to save me from this six by three square feet of dirt that you have left me I now drag behind myself I have taken this earth and sculpted it in your likeness I am Pygmalion praying to the moon for love but instead I get rain and as the picture of Her and perfect summers falls apart like mud through my finger I clasp and grasp and gasp and when the rain stops I am left on my knees in the mud praying with open hands my skin is baptized so clean my scars shine Now as the pieces of a heart are returned to us twisted and unwanted and rearranged like a Rubix cube by the hands of past lovers who we knew too fast and promised so much but didn't care enough to figure out our combinations or to hold the secrets contained or the dreams cradled in this human-sized box I guess no one thought to tell them that if you plan to be a past lover return what you have found just as you have found it and walk backwards that the image of you walking away from me may not haunt me in the mornings and I can make believe you are returning to me at night but even the stars rearrange themselves destiny can be rewritten let what remains of my days be it's pages in an infinite number of realities I am still happy with you in an infinite number of realities I am tragic without you but in this reality I may be happy without you I'm kicking open my wardrobe and cleaning it out of all the shadows I'm putting on a new jacket, a new hat but I'm keeping my old shoes for I will not forsake the path all the roads that once only led to you now lead from you thank you for the detour I'm looking for new hands to run through forests with new arms in which to build a home in a girl to jump on bed sheets with and a shoe box in an attic to bury you in For this heart will grow and one day I will see through an unbroken stained-glass window you were just another piece of me

Too thrilled by the case, Sherlock just disappears, To begin with a chase, John is let alone, To get a cab, and go to Baker St. . But wait- wherever he goes, The telephone booth starts ringing! He waits for somebody to pick up, And continues to walk; The third booth starts ringing, The caller must be desperate to talk. A black, shiny car, Pulls over for John to ride, The destination seemed far, In this conversation-less hour. "Anthea", answered the accompanying secretary, When asked her name, Fake it was, Absolutely. The anxiety was over, John was confronted by a well-dressed man, Who offered him money, to spy, The guy, who deduced Watson's army background, By his tan. The "arch-enemy" of Sherlock, As he introduced himself, Told John about his psychosomatic disorder, "You are back in the game, You don't fear danger, You've missed this lifestyle." True it was, Pretty much, "Could be dangerous", wrote Sherlock, And there he was dashing into 221B. Sherlock was quite disappointed, When he got to know about the declination, Of that tempting offer, "Pity, we could've split the fee", He suggested John for the next time. Isn't Mr. Holmes quite irksome, Calling John from the other end of London, Just to send a text? No, this was not an ordinary text, An SMS was just sent, By Mr. Watson's phone, To the murderer. The murderer? But why?! Elementary for SH. Found the case within an hour, Which was now in front him. His mind, is truly above par! One thing missing from the suitcase: Her organizer, her phone. "Nah, she's is a clever woman, A serial adulterer, Would never leave her phone at hotel", This Holmes said, backed by balance of probability. They waited at a restaurant, And the wait was long, But worth it. Had to chase a taxi, which was done successfully, Thanks to Sherlock's excellent memory. Hence proved it was, The psychosomatic limb of Doctor. A drugs bust had occurred at their place, Seriously, this man, a deduction ****** would have drugs? "I'm not a psychopath Anderson, I'm a high functioning sociopath, Do your research!" Snapped Mr. Punchline. Just a couple of minutes later, This brilliant sleuth realized- "Rachel! Yes, Rachel! This woman in pink, Jennifer, Is clever, And she's dead!", much to Mr. Holmes's displeasure.

When your daughter is young, you watch over her so she won't get stung. You gaze into her sweet baby face, so full of love and beautiful grace; a sugarplum fairy, she's extaordinary; a Joan of Arc, down to the birthmark. When she turns sweet sixteen, you see into the eyes of a prom queen; a change so dramatic, it drives you psychosomatic; you practice meditation, but it's still a complication! Then comes her own love story, lovely like a morning glory; arm in arm eith your baby girl, who's dressed in white like an ocean pearl. Step, step , step all the way down the aisle, you look at her face and see her smile. Years pass so quickly, next thing you know you're watching your precious granddaughter grow. "Good-nught, Grandpa," says your little Snow White; with tears in your eyes, you're feeling all right

last chance
your NIGHT SWEATS: you wake soaked in your salt, shivering, an ocean; you address the doctor directly but she will not meet your eyes, she says your NIGHT SWEATS: psychosomatic, fever dream; your NIGHT SWEATS: you wake on the examination table, the sanitary paper soaked in your salt, disintegrated into thin fibers clinging to your clammy back; you sleep in the bathroom, in the bathtub, your NIGHT SWEATS: you wake drowning in your salt, head violently breaching the water before you are fully conscious, a survival reflex, you suppose; your NIGHT SWEATS: you sleep in your garden, in the grass, you wake in a brackish marsh; your NIGHT SWEATS: salt crusts your skin, rough pale scabs; your NIGHT SWEATS: you wake; your NIGHT SWEATS: you wake; your NIGHT SWEATS: you wake

Transcendence Contest
That burn in the back of the throat isn't real. It's an after effect. A side bar. Psychosomatic. Problematic. Symptomatic. Crippled in sentiment and misunderstanding. Viscously bleeding from the mind in colors. How lost to have gone and wandered there. Clearly now in repose, there was no "them" to save at all. Only him and his strangled mostly dying agreements with the sun. That remain standing between the here and now in need of repair.

rusty knees folded under a quilt weaved by the calloused hands of particles of grandmothers' grandmothers, head heavy on a down-breasted pillow, rising and falling softly in a bedroom den, whispering relative semantics of a testament revised while outside, tornadoes uproot trees and displace plywood houses with charred pies frozen on the windowsill, entombed from the harsh winter's frost and incubation in false ovens; i recall seasonal naps of drifting and wakening and colourful mosaics painted across the dreamland sky, drinking cups of melatonin-laced chamomile steeped in an angel teapot that induced psychosomatic apparitions in constant relay from earhole to earhole and assisted with pulling an endless rope out of my mouth which had been tied to the pit of my ulcerated stomach, my head twisting in a corkscrew spiral, meeting a longing gaze and twisting back again, oh! my bottled neck! you retell poems softly spoken loudly with my kisses on your heavy eyelids, before we drift through the sheer veil into unified consciousness, taking a glimpse at our crowning home in an infinite land, enveloped in time-honoured Love bestowed upon us in pure, Divine fate, watching endless words of 'i love you', 'i love you' trickle like sand though a heavenly hour glass figure; to wake, a chance to celebrate, to die, a chance to find each other again.

Quilted Dreamlands in Technicolour & Surround Sound
Is life a course or a curse, a path or a pathology? Is living a blessing or a lessening, a miracle or a mirage? Is it a kiss or a miss, a tender touch or simply a come-on? The opposite of love is not hate, but uncaring, simply not feeling. Are all illnesses psychosomatic, a disguised, silent way that we take out our unconscious anger against ourselves? Love both clarifies and resolves these ambiguities, seeking always the better over the worse. Life can mean love, but too often means meanness. TOD HOWARD HAWKS

LIFE
I have but a smatter of the angelic tongue; The language of angels, archaic and foreign as the morning sun It's to you I posit the following query: Should I for one be ecstatic or pragmatic, When the voice of God speaks to me only in static I choose to believe but this troublesome quarry is all too problematic My philosophy and logic quarrelsome emphatic Psychosomatic and impractical Maybe it's the infrequency with which I tune my internal radio; And maybe I'm not listening Or maybe it's really true what Nietzsche touted so many moons ago I beg for sacrament But partake in sacrilege If its true that Soul is eternal Or even existential What is the sake that merits mine salvation If I can't save even those I hold near and dear from being of Self mind Fallacy of ego. Global enslavement.

Psychosomatic and impractical
say cowboy. say hot dog. say ice cream. say baseball. see, the step into the sound booth is an awkward height, about 6 inches off the ground, and i find myself raised on a pedestal, sealed in for you to inspect, watching you and an audiologist through a glass window, watching you decide my future as you face away from me so i cannot read your lips and you cannot see me shouting stop. say airplane, say sidewalk, say you might hear static in your right ear but i know i will only hear a tone, an electronic beep going on and on and on say conducive hearing loss say sensoneurial damage say surgery say it might be permanent this time, like it hasn't been permanent for the last ten years, say there's a new technique say we can fix this, say negative impact on social life, say poor classroom performance, say we just want what's best for you, say try hearing aids try CIs try cued speech, say you need to be fixed. it's been a decade since i first entered that sound booth, noises not echoing off these walls that take a little more from me with every test. it's been a decade since my hearing slipped away and i am done mourning it but i don't think you are. persistence is a valuable trait but stop trying, stop putting me under with an x on my right cheek so the surgeons know how to lay me out on the operating table, stop refusing to turn on the captions because i need the practice, stop talking to me without tapping me first, stop screaming at me when i mishear. i am done mourning my hearing and i don't know if i ever grieved in the first place but you are still stuck in the stage of denial, hoping against hope for some ******* miracle. i don't want a miracle, i don't want anything god can give me because i am not lacking, i am whole, i already am the miracle you were looking for and i don't need to be fixed. but you don’t believe that, do you? so the audiologist can open the heavy soundproof door but i am still trapped inside this box, the walls swallowing my words as you decide my future for me because no one wants to listen to those who cannot hear. say stop sign, say hairbrush, say push the button when you hear the beep and i hold it down with my thumb, gripping the clicker like the handle of a gun until you tell me to let go. but i hear deserts stretching away from me, flat sci-fi dreamscapes where there is only one sound and i can hear it too. say tinnitus, say psychosomatic because you don't believe that i might hear infinity where you tell me i shouldn't. say hole in the eardrum say the surgery might have accelerated the deterioration, say we can try again but i gave up ten years ago and i think you should too, and i'm here in this sound booth screaming for you to stop but you will not look at me, will not even attempt communication. no one wants to listen to those who cannot hear.

say cowboy. say hot dog. say ice cream. say baseball. see, the step into the sound booth is an awkward height, about 6 inches off the ground, and i find myself raised on a pedestal, sealed in for you to inspect, watching you and an audiologist through a glass window, watching you decide my future as you face away from me so i cannot read your lips and you cannot see me shouting stop. say airplane, say sidewalk, say you might hear static in your right ear but i know i will only hear a tone, an electronic beep going on and on and on say conducive hearing loss say sensoneurial damage say surgery say it might be permanent this time, like it hasn't been permanent for the last ten years, say there's a new technique say we can fix this, say negative impact on social life, say poor classroom performance, say we just want what's best for you, say try hearing aids try CIs try cued speech, say you need to be fixed. it's been a decade since i first entered that sound booth, noises not echoing off these walls that take a little more from me with every test. it's been a decade since my hearing slipped away and i am done mourning it but i don't think you are. persistence is a valuable trait but stop trying, stop putting me under with an x on my right cheek so the surgeons know how to lay me out on the operating table, stop refusing to turn on the captions because i need the practice, stop talking to me without tapping me first, stop screaming at me when i mishear. i am done mourning my hearing and i don't know if i ever grieved in the first place but you are still stuck in the stage of denial, hoping against hope for some ******* miracle. i don't want a miracle, i don't want anything god can give me because i am not lacking, i am whole, i already am the miracle you were looking for and i don't need to be fixed. but you don’t believe that, do you? so the audiologist can open the heavy soundproof door but i am still trapped inside this box, the walls swallowing my words as you decide my future for me because no one wants to listen to those who cannot hear. say stop sign, say hairbrush, say push the button when you hear the beep and i hold it down with my thumb, gripping the clicker like the handle of a gun until you tell me to let go. but i hear deserts stretching away from me, flat sci-fi dreamscapes where there is only one sound and i can hear it too. say tinnitus, say psychosomatic because you don't believe that i might hear infinity where you tell me i shouldn't. say hole in the eardrum say the surgery might have accelerated the deterioration, say we can try again but i gave up ten years ago and i think you should too, and i'm here in this sound booth screaming for you to stop but you will not look at me, will not even attempt communication. no one wants to listen to those who cannot hear.

*Assemble misaligned stars To watch them fall Doors open wide Motionless Captive Of an invisible tether Propelled by dreams   Of holding the bended hands of time In the palm of trembling hands To return to a better place Hovering in the corridors Of uncertainty Merciless rumination psychosomatic ruin Cowardly lioness Once of intrepid spirit.*

Inquietude
A flower blossoms in the desert on a cactus where there's no one to see it. The beauty mark upon the oasis. Candlelight in the darkness, lit outstretched hands hold reminders puzzle pieces with no remainders; a ghost alone without pension. Obelisks withstand the seasons of a troubled, turbulent heart resistant to the call of reason as gravitation pulls us apart. The talisman will guard the flower from its persistent self-destruction. Even though it has no power, Its psychosomatic, deep within.

Allen Ginsberg was a **** machine
Where does man, where does woman, where does beast go When slumber dawns upon their fleshly vessel? When the twilit sky bleeds into a stygian veil? When the musicality within begins to take psychosomatic form? I reminisce over the eventuality that stirred my burgeoning. It quaked my lucubrations, my excogitations, intellectualizations; Ye, The Incendiary Phoenix Flame billows within. Rebirth awaits every anima forged by The Apotheosis of The Astral Flame. The doughty firebrand in me shalt nought surrender, The Gaian Warrior within shall ne'er be forgotten, And my reverenc'd doubts  shall be undone. O, whence all incredulities have been uttered The Leadings of Lovelight shall prevail. The Vestige that once ravaged my remembrance shall vanish into The Magisterial Tides of Oblivion, We are all one with the Blood-Tinged Oath, The Fulgent Daystar; He, exhaled eternity into the souls vexed by mortality. Underneath the Sun: There breathes an azure vista. What lieth above our aethereal aegis has incited inquisitiveness aeons aforetime Open your hearts to the cosmic currents, the transcendent torrent, The Communal Oneness of The Primal Phantasmagoric; By that One, For all time we were summoned. Question what lie before to be spirited away.   Listen to the arcadian zephyr whisper               Through in, through out your every breath. Trust, the Sanctity of intuition. Coloring the Changing of The Seasons. The aqueous dew throngs upon virescent leaflets, A fulgurant surge fulminates Upon The Celestial’s bedarkened sky. Red- Shift Existence: evidence, upon which a system of belief expands, under examination Therefore, it is our duty to ponder the Legacy of the Sages That we might unravel the esoteric secrets That function as a key In gainsaying, in overturning The Lock of Fallacy. Finally we gain understanding, we acquire wisdom Altering our cognitive trajectory. What is Life, What is Love, What is Divinity, Without creativity? Without imagination? Without vision? We must all surrender to The Sacral Expressions of Omnibenevolence.

*they call me the mourning dove. hallowed be my refrain. i sing with a bleeding tongue- beauty stems from my pain.* you're slivered inside and derided on sight. your abhorrent habits have cast fans aside- your knack for dramatics belittles the tragic. it isn't romantic. get over your strife. *they call me the mourning dove. hallowed be my refrain. i sing with a bleeding tongue- beauty stems from my pain.* not all life is suffering- you're twisting it in your head. psychosomatic pain's no reason to act dead. you're wasting your youth with these childish blues. self-pity is useless, contagious. get out of bed. *they call me the mourning dove. hallowed be my refrain. i sing for my poisoned loves- my voices guides them to their graves.* stop worr'ying the wound and it'll event'lly heal. quit floating towards koreyland- identify what is real. if you wanna get better you gotta be brave. face the pain and the rain or stay caught up in tears and weals.

Don't offer me what can be bought, Or make an offer solely based, On your soul, when faced, With guilt seized, So you can feel guilt flee Like paying a guilts fee, Leads you to guilt free. So if you ever eventually Find a mind of consciousness mentally     You'll see, true empathy is empty, leaving sympathy, Rudementally, Don't give me a coat, for freezing, Stand in the cold, never leaving Emotionally, blood in oceans leak Cut yourself, so as one were bleeding And I promise you when the years Reverse and the curse, of your fears Tear your flesh internally, turn to me And for eternally I'll shed ur tears With u, and yes. I know, how peculiar  and convoluted, it is when I say "don't relinquish food to me if I'm hungry.....Throw yours away, Let me know I'm not alone. Don't pull me out from dark depths Crawl inside the dark cell in hell where I'm held, Where my secrets are kept Don't try to heal my insecurities, Reassuring me, assurity; obnoxious Instead reveal, what makes you feel Scars unhealed, or self conscious Or like the others, be pompous Judgemental, narcissistic corrosive psychosomatic vanity, causing insanity a Psychotic fantasy, causing psychosis To those like me, who see it's atrocious So plz, keep youe charitable deposit As it doesn't help me. As much as your Guilt, so it doesn't hang in your closet With the other skeletons, and elephants And other less than eloquent shame Don't act like u are feeling my pain Don't R.kelly **** on me &call; it rain I don't wanna stand under your umbrella, stand in the storm with me So we never fear being with no umbrella, instead knowing that we Survived the worst, that this earth Could disperse, so never Again will we fear it, but more than that, we'd Know whether the weather Was the worse ever endevoired, &fall; to death, that is still better Than life where no ones love, is tested, to never know, what's truly forever To never know, the beauty in pain Or gifted lesson, in a hard loss Cause what can ever be valued, with out knowing how to, sacrifice for a cost
