"repleted" poems
Bright babbling brook
Meandering merrily along
Cheerfully chuckling cheekily
Singing summer’s song
Cumulus nimbus climbing
Sweeping shadows spread
Grim greyness growing
Dark daunting dread
Sky suddenly shatters
Violent visions form
Titanic teardrops tumbling
Savage summer storm
Wild wind wailing
Throwing thunderous threats
Luminous lingering lightning
Eerie electric effects
Roaring raging river
Searches, seeks, strains
Bulging banks burst
Punishing pristine plains
Whirling water wasting
Gyrating gurgling glee
Repleted river relaxes
Finally flowing, free

It was a struggle.
My body’s natural reaction to heartbreak, tears flooded my eyes, making it impossible to see what was right in front of me, but when the tears cleared and my vision was refined, I saw I wasn't the only one hurting. It was a struggle. But life was moving forward and I couldn't be left in the dust. Now I seemed fine, good even. But only I knew the conflict constantly streaming through my mind. It was an epic combat between my need to curl up in a ball and hide from the world and my egotistical want to put on a strong front. Eventually, after many battles between the two, I was okay again, just okay. My personality had adapted to deal with the pain, and now I was strong enough to leave the memories behind.
The memories were repressed, but the feelings never left.
All of those memories I had pushed to the back of my heart snapped back into place the second you kissed me. It felt like my life had been just a fraction of an inch off track and you made it slip right back into place. You always did have that effect on me. I was expecting for things to go back to the way they were but to my surprise, things were exceeding my expectations. Years had passed and we both changed, but the things that really mattered were indistinguishable. My love never faltered, even when the animosity seemed overwhelming. I knew hoped someday you would come back to me.
Now we can start our life together. The perfect cadence we seem to be in gives me tremendous hope that we will make “forever” look meager. This is what we both want, to live a life completely repleted with affection and lust, and I am determined to make it happen. I’ve never been so confident in a feeling; this is all such a new feeling. Having you by my side will make my life completely whole. A family, a home, filled to the brim with happiness and joy.
Perfection.

How did it feel?
It was like my wings had been clipped, and I would wait patiently for them to grow back.
Slowly and languidly, one feather at a time, until they were thoroughly repleted so that I could take flight and soar through the skies!
Only to remember...
I was still in the cage.
- That's How It Felt

(For Sia Jane)
once he wrote:
"Writing is more important than any of the individual senses that feed this (writing) addiction. Without sound, sight, touch, smell and taste, I can (still) live quite well."
and she loved this,
for well she lived this ideation
so textual emendation
for this girl,
one of god's human poems
irony kick in the head,
truth driven home by body of late,
crossed and staked,
weeks pass, I cannot taste or smell,
eyesight distorted by streaming eyes, no matter,
sight, sees only a decrepit man lousy
repeating repetitiously older spasms of writing,
all this time he is one
who touches nothing lest he infect the world,
with something other than joy...
all thanks to some insidious bacterial invaders
and one or two Lifetime Movie Channel dramas
playing out in full color in his own sad reality
so let me amend my prior write,
for this time, I make no overly boastful claims,
for I could pen nary a verse all these hours,
that was deserved of your affection...
write I could with any one of the five,
if four were repleted, deleted, none elited,
but one is
this man's de minimus
need at least one to function,
to master the bronco impulse to create...
don't matter which one,
which orifice writes the code,
all sensory inputs end up residing
in your heart and soul
but gotta have at least one in order to
express my love for love...
and if I can't do that,
then experience shows,
no way can the being supersede its
thrumming, hum drumming, existence,
motoring along highways circularized
of watching old tv shows
if I lose my hands I will write with
elbows, nose or toes...
my tongue cut, my mind will love more,
its recollection of your taste, delicious twice over
blinded and bereft, my mind's eye
will do double shifts, get paid overtime,
for reliving connecting your birthmarks
my jesting muted, my seers closed,
my nostrils sealed, even terminated,
dare you think, that I cannot hear or
smell my thoughts,
of the pleasure of a world in which
loves existence demands we heal the sick at heart,
so we can
extend love to ourselves and others
beyond the mere limitations
of our corporeal senses....
one, but one, all I need,
any one, in order to
sense who I am,
to love, and be loved,
therefore,
to write

It is a different world out there.
Where life is broken down into its elementary notion
To something very elementary, that it starts to get eerie.
Like something as simple as a piece of paper becomes atoms and molecules,
Out there, men become a labyrinth of monoliths,
Painted in a shade of skin and made of bones.
These labyrinths are often carried by trench-coats,
Accompanied by trousers and shoes.
Out there is filled with scattered food for the birds
Scattered by the rhythmic motion of a wrinkled hand
Out there is repleted with hours waiting by the window
For things that don’t exist, or choose not to exist.
A world filled with nothing, nothing at all.
A world so big, bigger than you can imagine.
It is quite intuitive, for nothing
Except nothingness exists in such large numbers.

completely repleted
undulations
stake their claim
to hold this form
with puppet strings
that run beneath
a fevered storm
only just encompassed
struggles to escape
the will to deconstruct
and replace the missing parts
thunder shakes
the earth
both lullaby and curse
something sleeps
and something stirs
the metaphor
within my eyes
slithers like a worm
disquieting surprise
mildly disturbed
infantile arms
grasping towards
the sun
endeavor to dissever
all the light
and see what it becomes
emaciated fingers
reach into my eye
drag the key out from behind
and touch it to the sky
strings like water
from the heavens pour
now to weave the web
and forge the other door
from the mist
ascends the opening
where hands of chaos
play with broken things
the skin i'm in
then ruptures
and the captive
staggers forth
to disestablish
all i am
let the fragments
be woven in the fabric
to stretch forever more

The pain will never go away
Like raindrops on my cheeks
Flash flood, into a raging river
Rushing off my face; Waterfall,
A grief-stricken cascade
The pain will never go away
Weak with ailing vertigo
Swaying back and forth
Only to be stationary; Rotting,
A slow and steady decay
The pain will never go away
Raging war, of the internal kind
Dolefulness claims it's crown
Contentment held captive
Like the Seventh Crusade
The pain will never go away
No light insight, Deep in the woods
Like the blackness
On a new moon night; Cold
One degree centigrade
The pain will never go away
Hollowed, repleted with agony
Gray, A bleakness
Never truly described; This
The obscureness of dolor's grenade
It will never go away

Forseeth thick words
Vacivity, bag of slurs
Sorrow now repleted
Friends seem conceited
Slowly the dark panels white
Suspense from the absence of you dies
Ever since i was garnished in trice
Into royal blue skies
Oft, you hide in your little dome
Its blatant, you're pretty foul
You are a pendulum, overblown
Oft, aware of your blandishments
Broken locks, I've seen bones bend
Its your frost white heart, it's the clothes you are in

As I fade, into this night of broken dreams,
I envision our souls repleted in heavenly wisdom,
devoid of hate, for you I feign.
And though I dream, I lie awake,
alone with each breath I nervously take.
Oh! How I wish you could see,
the changes you have made of me.
For surely you would know that our love,
was never once a game to me.

Surrogate Country
our politics resemble
The human centipede
Dying respect
Hostility from
Both sides
The people divide amongst each other
It’s not
The politicians fault
Ashe to Ashe
Dust to dust
In God we trust
In blind faith we rust
I’m a punk
Singing rock and jazz
Railing against everyone
With a political placebo
Or a falsly repleted libido
This country I love
These dumb *****
I ******* loathe
I start loving
When their words
and conversations
Don’t have an agenda
You can take my life
But I’ll die bleeding every
Inch, word, and ounce
Of my integrity

Light touch
On my lips
Violent feelings erupt, when your hands dance their way to my hips
Entwined bodies, ecstatic, elated
Repleted and exquisitely
Sated

will you come?
and grieve with me in the moonlight
mourn life that is fleeting in the bright night
for i am a shadow of the world
a decaying source of life
bound by lack of dimension
will you go?
and leave me here before the sunrise
where i can await a painless demise
for i am only an empty space to be repleted
a husk of something that truly is
what i can never be
and will you return?
over again each time i am revived
blessing me with you truthful eyes
for so long have i been a prisoner
to the wicked and contriving minds
of those who breathe hunger
and exhale lies
so, you see
as a victim of gilded oppression
and sickened orderly obsessions
the true question i reveal in confession
will you flee and take me with you?
