"repercussions" poems
I still reference you in conversations. I still smell your flannels. I wonder how soft your hair is today. I kiss the walls of the shower just to hear the same pop our lips would make. I wish I had endless pictures of your collar bones and eyes. I wish I had endless access to your thighs and chest and that dot on your neck. When I *** I say your name. Your voice recordings aren't the same.  I want you to call and put me to sleep with your breath and I want this all without the repercussions. I want you to be my friend. And I want the benefit of you being my lover again.

'Friends with Benefits' don't benefit at all.
There’s a pain in my heart that’s slowly tearing me apart because I saw what they did to you. Visualizing your pain the agony you went through I too am now suffering.

Repercussions of Caring
You can't confess your feelings then leave me on the curb, Then pick me up when you want me, boy you have the nerve, To treat me like ******* trash, and walk around all high and mighty, Saying how much you hate me and and that my tears were most likely, The repercussions of your actions because, oh how much I miss you, Well bull ******* **** without you I feel new, And now you're at my door step, begging for me back, Well I'm sorry there bud, I'm done doing laps around the track, For one stupid boy, who just couldn't treat me right, You're really just not worth the ******* constant fight.

Treat me right
What truly is the definition of righteousness? Is it determined by act or by mind? They say a good man fights for justice, peace, and prosperity. But then, can a man of such moral truly remain so if he turns to violence as an answer? Does his intent to create marvels render him of moral status though his methods may empower death and promote war? Oh, this man is peaceful himself, taking letters instead of bullets to battle but his lyrics dislodge society in a manner not all approve and so begins combat. Can this soul carry such holy title, if the repercussions of his strung together words are strung up necks? Or is the good man the one who turns away from the world's fight to be his own embodiment of ethical beauty? For the one who remains silent causes no direct pain; he himself is passive and tranquil and moves to inspire such conduct in others without commanding it. But his silence encourages fierce vehemency and wildness. Does this fact not taint his name? The first man had pure intent, but with his tongue he spit sparks which others used to ignite a fire and burn the world. The second did not fight himself but his chosen hush could never end the blood rain, and so his lack of sharp verbosity allowed knives to flash and blood to spill. So I will ask again, what determines morality? Though this time with a grounding response; morals define morality. Each man's mind renders his own flawless ideal individually, and so one's perfection will always be another's monstrosity. In truth? There are no good men, or at least not one to all.

Malice ripples lying low, under penetrating nightlife strobe. Repercussions? None to show. Limp bodies 'getting loose' In truth, injected with poison; a slow-acting noose. Repulsive actions of the vile & depraved **** endorsed at raves.

I have always been weary of putting names in my poems in fear that I will never be able to take my confessions back but when is a good day to tell you that I have loved you in every lifetime In the past we were entangled in each other One life we were shooting stars another we laid lazily in fields of wildflowers a love too strong to explain through words so we didn’t speak instead you embodied the beauty of spring a way to remind us of those April days when nothing existed outside of each other We hid our love behind buttercups and daisies maybe that’s why I love to bring you flowers to feel the flicker of a spark we shared in a lifetime so long ago In another lifetime we read quietly together over coffee in smoky French cafe’s we underlined passages that we would read each other in secret our love withstanding a time when it was criminal to look at one another with the type of love we shared I don’t know if I have ever loved you loudly there are no muscle memories of me shouting your name from rooftops or unapologetically holding your hand without fear of repercussions —even now I don’t know how to form the words “I love you” without looking around to see who’s listening even after all this time I love you in secret I still can’t put your name in my poems but i promise in one of our lifetimes I’ll write your name in every poem and tell you that I’m in love with you out loud someday the words won’t feel stuck in my throat but I hope that’s in a lifetime sooner than later

It was an AR15 that the kid used. A gun that, in this free world, men can indulge and abuse. A boy who saw him load his gun, the gunman saw and simply said run, A word that made the child flee for his life, just before waves of bullets came upon the school, The kid looked on and asked himself why is life so cruel. How many more people have to die, before its ****** metal, not tears, that your children cry. This free world, rife with argument by silly politicians Men that make decisions, without experience of the repercussions. This gunman was not a delinquent, he was a child. Born of your failed systems, born of your sick traditions. A boy who without second thought, took up his assault rifle and headed into war with the children that learned ambition with him, emotion and sudden movement that made them all feel just that little bit stifled. This free world is one with a core of rights, A doubled edged dagger, a topic of discussion that makes the average fat man want to fight. ‘Over my cold dead body’ he said. LET ME HAVE MY GUN Because whilst others use it for fun, the protection I have outweighs the fact that when a 19 year old comes to school, all the other kids have to run. It’s ridiculous, heck its thoroughly imbecilic, How children have to be careful of the education system, not because of a nationwide test but a, nationwide threat of grown men, looking to prove their ego, men that can’t go against the party line that fail to realise that life is more important than the next donation than the dollar sign. You want protection? That’s completely fine. Just don’t use the bodies of your children as meat shields and pretend everything’s fine. Don’t say you’ll do something as if something will change because nothing will change unless it does. This free world is not filled with love but truly its filled with hate, A bloodlust so dense, even children’s blood cannot sate it’s thirst. Until it's more than just a child hurt, but a country with a bullet wound Caused by people, who love guns so much but blame it on the loons. Your pain, I cannot prove.

Long days seem so much longer. Distance does not make the heart grow fonder. You’ve conquered the empire of my subconscious. Your crusade so short, Yet I hope your reign continues for eons. We’re far past passive flatteries, Instead, we fill each other’s hearts with vows. You mean them now, But what about a few months? What if you decide I’m not what you want? The torment I am slowly approaching, Consumes my distant soul. I can hear the sounds of futuristic loathing, From when you decide this love has taken it’s toll. So tell me. How can I pay this inevitable toll? How can I save us from Cupid’s malicious tyranny? His arrow is too far lodged within me, I cannot remove it. I can only push it farther and farther Into my heart until it falls out of my back. But this arrow, trenchant. Cupid, the sharpest of marksmen. Yet colorblind, he is. He sees not what colors his targets represent. He draws his bow for the pure love of marksmanship. Sometimes, yet not often, He will hit the intended target. But the odds are scarce. His subjects are often punctured, And connected to one whom reciprocated Fate’s desire. Yet this time… This time… Cupid must have hit a target of Fate’s approval. For thrice he has missed. This time He and Fate are in sync. This wound may stretch over time, But the arrow shall remain firmly lodged within my ***** ***** and immovable. Until you kick it through my backside. But until then, I can only endure. I can only be woo wounded. I can only survive, Another ambush of the militant called Cupid. But I will do it for you, For by you, I’ve been so divinely seduced. Wooed by your lips. Not by your kiss, But by the music, Which your mandibles so express. I desire not to seal this wound, But to evade its’ repercussions. For I have endured a similar wound thrice. He is winged as if an angel, Yet Was Lucifer not once an angel as well? Cupid is an impostor. A spy of Agony, himself. He prays on the young, the old, the strong, and the weak. He cares not who he obliterates in his crusades. He is a bloodthirsty heathen. He makes scoundrels of Saints, And Harlots of Housewives. Saint Valentine is no Saint. He is Satan’s nightmare. At first, his arrows are ecstasy, But like a cancer, His poison-saturated arrows Seep deep within every crevice of your body. They consume you as if enriched with ****** And eventually rot within your ***** Until it is nothing but dust and a memory. One day I will assassinate Fate’s Malicious militant, The one we call Cupid.

Fate's Malicious Militant, Cupid.
Long days seem so much longer. Distance does not make the heart grow fonder. You’ve conquered the empire of my subconscious. Your crusade so short, Yet I hope your reign continues for eons.

You don't seem to think with Reason; root Chakra so loud and gratifying. So very much louder, and as if that makes it right, and as if it makes up for all that lack of self control: You don't seem to think with Reason, your root Chakra is your puppeteer. Playing with Fire, One gets ******* burnt. What did you expect? Then again, you don't seem to think with Reason. Unbalanced Root Chakra; so very loud and gratifying, leaves you cracked and empty; hollow. Wallowing. I know this is hard to swallow, but, do you follow? You bring it on yourself! You called it down, summoned it! You played with Root Chakra Fire and we're all still getting burnt. You might have saved yourself, but I am still enduring it; Each time I think of Love, Pain instead comes to Mind because that is how those I have Loved have treated me. "You're such a good person", they've said. Hah! That's either ******** or just insincere, 'cause they've sure as **** shown me what it is they thought I deserved: Reap the words of one you've broken down. Behold the Wrath you've ******* sewn about! Dark Actions propagate dark Feelings; Face the repercussions of your Actions: This is a Reflection of you! This is a Reflection of what you have done! This is no appeal to Guilt; for what good would that do? -- I guess we must think differently, and that's fine. I guess I am just so offended 'cause I hold *** with reverence; To me, *** ******* means something, and I thought of *** as an extension and expression of our Love and not just another ******* Addiction. Turns out it was just another ******* Addiction and you got your ******* fix, but where's mine? You've become just another ******* Addiction that I am now forced to quit cold-turkey. Just another addiction. (I was) Just another addiction. (You are) Just another addiction. Just another ******* Addiction after all.

The day I lost my Angel, I traded my love in for something of repugnance, And I by no means even put up a struggle I never even spoke, Not even showing a single expression. I just raised my arms towering to the sky above I just gave up I ceased to distinguish who I was. I became nothing, a soul I hadnt ever met or knew. I had loved you, A feeling that you out grew. A love I never knew. I never once considered the repercussions of my emotions Or my thoughts. It’s strange how a single ripple in the sea Can work to transform everyone and everything it comes in contact with. Never leaving any inclination of its presence Or its effect apon the vision that is cast into the waters of prospect. Now I have nobody left, No one and nothing at all. Nothing in my heart or in my soul. The graceful love I showed you. But who am I to say. I am just a guy at heaven’s gate                                             With broken wings. Hoping that today is the day I may get in.

The Angel to My Dark Heart
My words are not my own, Nor do they belong to my totem frog Which hippity hops His way trough my life, Guiding me towards a metamorphosis, From drunkard To enlightened. He (I) sure am taking his time, But should/could this journey be rushed? My poems are not the caw of the crow and/or raven, She does not sing a song so beautiful that I am moved to purge it least it take up too much of the spare space I have inside of me. She is my spirit guide, Turn this way, choose that one (with the pretty smile which makes you ever so nervous), Do not wear that ridiculous outfit, Don't even think of- Too late, now live with the repercussions, idiot. A ****** of voices. My muse tickles my lust and embraces my love But is neither. She/he dons many faces none of which I have ever seen. Whimsical ***** ******* of emotional release I do not know you! I write your words as they come into my head. Or I would, If I could keep up with your maniacal laughter; You spew nonsense rapid fire, child slaying zombies with Cheetos stained fingers, And with all the elegance therein. Yet, I am thankful indeed.

My Muse
Excuse me for my hurt, I know you mean well, And you want to inspire, And uplift me, But language is a fickle art. One that can make the difference, Composing tone and the words themselves. And there is no greater insecurity Than the one called Me. Since the very beginning, I have been openly listening, Engaging in thoughtful discussion - The subject of You, the percussion. I immediately spotted possible repercussions. I wanted, and I still do, To know your essence, But healthy exchanges Involve equality, And I don't want to be left hanging, Feeling like I'm lesser. I crave knowing the rest of your essence, But have you no interest In knowing the same? Are our minds connected Of the same fibers Or are we what we weave, Being different in how we perceive, A lifetime of individual strings? The only Person I should keep in my life, Making me feel inferior and uninteresting, Is Me - And I shall escape that fate, With unconditional love, and positivity. I am deeply interested, In knowing MySelf, loving MySelf, And to You, who has shown limited interest In simply knowing me, You, I choose as a direction of my Purity, You, unaltered and true, You, and Me, Alone - It all, once again, Always begins with You.

Insecurity
Cradling and pacifying, A gift for enabling narcissism, Wiping tears and standing strong Even as the bellows break my spirit. Never rising Without repercussions, Manipulations and invalidations, Demands for constant zombification. Fingers inching for cherished blades Obedience taste bitter. I should have learned to be docile, To know when to wither. Instead I was born with poison Pumping through my veins, Chaos in my brain, And wear wrath as a crown.

Bite My Tongue
Beauty out in the open, light falls on linoleum tiles like heel-worn stones Windows to a sunny world sit at the end of locker-lined tunnels, beckoning beyond fluorescent mazes Clotted with conversation, upperclassmen stroll like the elderly Young blood doge or cling to the sides, scared of the critical runway that is us Windows to a sunny world sit at the end of locker-lined tunnels, beckoning beyond fluorescent mazes Eyes from all sides, thinking nothing yet are supplied by our own thoughts Young blood doge or cling to the sides, scared of the critical runway that is us Finding refuge in educational terrariums, an ecosystem that saves me from the weight Eyes from all sides, thinking nothing yet are supplied by our own thoughts Finding solace in stairwells, sealed off by doors and hold awkward opportunities Finding refuge in educational terrariums, an ecosystem that saves me from the weight Clanging like a child’s cry releases stress like floodgates, another trip into the shark tank Finding solace in stairwells, sealed off by doors and hold awkward opportunities Open doors that are actually closed; they are like aquariums – no tapping on the glass please. Clanging like a child’s cry releases stress like floodgates, another trip into the shark tank The longer I stay the more I wish to leave, away from substituted confrontations Open doors that are actually closed; they are like aquariums – no tapping on the glass please. Prejudice like heavy rain beats at my skin and soaks my clothes - but I know it was I who brought the downpour The longer I stay the more I wish to leave, away from substituted confrontations Must comparisons be so obvious when I walk alone, unprotected? They are lucky to have such equals to act as parents; they hold each other’s hands to keep from drowning Prejudice like heavy rain beats at my skin and soaks my clothes – but I know it was I who brought the downpour They pull like vultures at flesh; I am not allowed to wrap myself in hurricanes while out in the open Must comparisons be so obvious when I walk alone, unprotected? They are lucky to have such equals to act as parents; they hold each other’s hands to keep from drowning Ignorance is bliss, they say, and truth that is here – the less you know the less hate you bear the weight of. They pull like vultures at flesh; I am not allowed to wrap myself in hurricanes while out in the open Look down, one foot – and then the other! Ignorance is bliss they say, and truth that is here – the less you know the less hate you bear the weight of. Anger and sadness, guilt and fear turn like Viewmaster slides lit up by the sun Or am I on my own here? Each boy's path runs along each other like long-exposure stars, leaving streaks between the darkness.

A kiss in the blue black dark Inhibitions lost to drink But slowly returning Almost sober, but not quite Forehead to forehead Nose to nose Chin to chin Mouth to mouth Resuscitation from this Dream Sparks fly between the two But there are repercussions for that Hands of another were held so tightly Lips of another were made slightly wet With a kiss unorthodox, taboo Another's ******* pressed to his chest While trying to make out another's eyes in the dark A whispered goodnight An event unregretted A secret? Lips that burned for more But shushed And feelings unrestrained.

Unorthodox Kiss (03.17.13)
. He doesn't realise... The weight of his actions and words that pummel her to the ground. Beating her down for every time she rises up to undo his ropes with which she's bound. He doesn't see... Past the darkened lenses that she dons. She wears them, not to shield her pride that was wrongfully taken, but to protect him from the repercussions that would come with accusatory speculations. He doesn't know... Of the soaked pillow that accompanied her. The rivulets of tears... She had quietly shed without a whimper. He doesn't hear... The silent altercation between the treasure that beats in her chest and the thing that thinks in her head. The struggle that ensues when the mind tries to rescind what the heart had wholly given and carelessly said. He doesn't care... To think of the devastating waves that come. Only to erode the last bastion of hope she nurtures... This frail wall that she prays for nightly. Just so that it would hold up through another day's endeavour. He doesn't feel... The need for empathy. For he thinks that he's god with one devout follower. He commands her loyalty with his deluded testaments and his fists as sceptre. She doesn't live... To see future suns. For her day finally set when it all came down. The wall she had feebly held together with her life... Easily gave way when he came at her armed with a knife. .

We overpay to over-eat, then we feverously attempt to burn this excess. To hide our gluttony, we pay for the gym, burning precious electricity. To fit the mold, of celebrities we pay to idolize, we desperately lust for perfection. This vicious cycle, of over-indulgence combined with expensive repercussions fuels our desire to appear modest.

Modesty.
So I'm a "fly" white guy, with "Jet" black tendencies, Try to be a nice guy, But somehow end up the enemy. I'll treat you like a princess, But I'm a fort, You can't get into me. It makes no sense to me. How did this knight in shining armor, Get slain by the dragon? So once upon a time, I was a hero, Now I'm a has-been. Last in the castle for I belong with the Pagans, Slaying distressed damsels, Giving hell to the angels With strangers wrapped in mangers, Destined for greatness. Trapped within this labyrinth of my cranium. But when it comes to blame, My pigmentation begins to change, But this time it's not my shame. 'Cause you play the same game That the dames did before you. You're no different. You're not worth a fortune. Fortunately, you revealed your horns for me. It's torturing how for me it ended horribly, and you moved on to the same dude you ******* before me. Love's supposed to be patient, Love's supposed to be kind, Instead it's a battlefield Filled with landmines. You say it's false, that nice guys finish last? Well clarify why I'm starin', At taillights from my past. They say when you have everything, You give nothing back. So I guess that explains Why your feelings for me lack. You're like "You're a white guy, That tends to be black. Well how in the hell Can I get used to that?" That's ******** You're afraid of commitment. That's why you had to end it, Before it could begin with. You're a cynical, sinister, Hypocritical minister, Angelic sinner sent to incriminate innocence. Evil's equivalent, Yet as sweet as carcinogens. If heartbreak were a game, Girl, you would be winnin' it. If my soul were a food, You would've finished it. I had a confident conscience, but girl you diminished it. Listen kid, I get you're immature and **** But don't go and slander my name When you used to worship it. Love's supposed to be patient, Love's supposed to be kind, Instead it's a battlefield Filled with landmines.

I know you’re trying to forget The lonely words we spilled With no discussion of repercussions; Phrases that clung to our skin And dirtied our souls. I don’t know if I regret it, But the memory lingers. You told me that you would kiss My lips, my neck, my hips And that you longed for the touch Of my gentle fingertips. We overwhelmed ourselves; A ****** of desire with no way out. We were the Apocalypse. We retreated to our own lives, Our own beds, our own friends. I asked how you felt, where we stood now; And you left me to wonder Alone. No matter how many showers I take, I can’t cleanse myself Of the hold you gained on me With your gilded words late that night. I know you’re trying to forget.

I never wonder what it would be like for me to not have my disease But I do wonder what it would be like to be someone without it What it would be like to not miss school to see a doctor whose specialty my classmates can't even spell What it would be like not to take a pill every morning What it would be like to not face the repercussions of not taking my pill one morning What it would be like not to pay for the Synthroid What it would be like to not know anything about it I think it would be quite ordinary I think I would be weaker for it not being able to endure the symptoms I think I would have less initiative Not having to take my pill for myself at a young age I think I would be less curious Not wanting to know more about myself I think I'm better off for it I know more about myself I know more about the world around me I know more about perseverance I know more about medicine I know more about budgeting I know more about individuality I would never want for me to not have my disease I'm a better person for it

The words hurt, The heart hurts. My mind is clouded.. I love him, He's so dear to me. Like a fire that burns brightly.. Now.. All I see, Is a dimming light. Repercussions he says, Overboard on decision. To him, It's just another day without me. I love you.. I am sorry. If the repercussions become poison.. Then it ends.. As Valkyrie, I suspend my feelings. The bond of wolf and mate. To go over.. Everything.. To think this decision through. To plea for sanity, Would just give you pleasure. No cope, No way out. You are on your own.. My love...

Hurtful Suspension
I feel so lost and I have misplaced a part of me Looking for answers in the rubble of emotional debris How do you rebuild hard earned confidence Smashed and swept, leaving no remnants How do you stand on battered knees And put on an expression that shows no crease How do you recover something you barely just found Something that exists neither above or below ground Try not to limp because the world doesn't really want to know If you braved through where thistles and thorns grow They don't really care; In fact they might grow tired Of the same dirge I insist on having repeated I'm feeling the repercussions and myself I do blame For expecting of you nothing less of the same Only thing I can do is what I do best Is to revel in overwhelming grief and fallen crest Be annoyingly frail and exceedingly feeble Soon may regret because some may deem it intolerable Get up and chin up or I'll have more to lose Still retaining the gift of breath I so choose Pleading into thin air to quell the pain As I try to piece myself all over again

Feeble
It is my conviction That life began inside of a dimly lit corridor. Not with a flash of brilliant light, Inside of the creator's grand hall. Not even in the decency of a simple room, No. It was an accident that happened when the Gods tripped over their robes, Simply walking On their way to the heavenly mess hall for coffee and a drag, Shaking the proverbial gold dust off of their feet So that it slipped through the cracks in the marble And crystallized in random little patterns, Wherever they happened to step. Beauty, some are bold enough to call it. And I'll find it on my face sometimes, Those golden remnants,   When the weather is warm and I've eaten a little less that day. I will linger in my mirror to see where they've landed As I whisper sweet nothings to myself, Wishing I were worthy of these repercussions of The Great Biochemical Accident. But once in a while, Someone will come along who tells me that I'm wrong. Once in a while, Somebody has enough gall, Somebody has enough, call it grace, To peel those golden freckles from my face, And to hold them gently in their palm, Perceiving them to be precious.

The Worth Of Gold.
Some people think I make rash decisions Like I'm not aware They tell me I should be more careful I shouldn't assume such positions That I should use more precision But am I the only one aware of the time we have here And how important it is to live without limitations I don't want to be old and look back in regret and fear I don't know the repercussions of what I may do And who I may hurt, may end up hating me too But sometimes I'd rather have that than never knew And it's sad, really sad to look back And see all of your mistakes piling up in stack And saying hey, things would be different if I hadn't have ****** up so bad But sometimes funny things happen in life, and can lead you to the right people And if that's the case than maybe the others were wrong Maybe life is more than just a sad song When everybody's all bent from the throng The song can take a variety of pitches and tones It's the sound of opportunity that I'm trying to hone It's hard to keep a clean slate when you're all caught up brunettes and blondes And alcohol in the name of the yesteryear All caught up in love and song and you can't seem to grasp the time like it's sifting through an hourglass Just trying to enjoy my time here, so please don't hold my decisions too seriously

Getting serious about not taking things too seriously
*The mind is comfortably numb Unaware of the repercussions Holding guard at the gates of Eris Invoking the discord with intensity Gazing endlessly at dull perceptions Anarchy is just a breath away Holding our breath just to stave away But the cries of horror are unheard The mind is comfortably numb*
