"seldomly" poems
Of all things, She opened my mouth and built a bridge only we knew existed. She arranged pillar upon pillar Of steel beams. I struggled understanding what To do with the left over bolts. She grabbed my hand Taking turns throwing them on the outskirts of where we stood. We stood between the beams, An incline of sights seldomly seen. Afraid of heights she rarely looked down. She'd bury her head in my chest Very rarely she looked down. Spoken words clustered in steel beams Without fear of plunging below.

Bridges
Lost Is nothing but a partner of mine Seldomly, I feel needed While the public pour their sweat on the corridor I am alone thinking to myself That I am an Outsider Pushed As I am by society Rejecting the idealogy of mine Thinking that it is old fashioned Whilst the world strive for change Isn't the suggestion a change for the better? Truly That I am an Outsider Rejected By all degree of mankind They judge a book by not looking at it's content But by it's colourful cover The shallowness of theirs Truly runs a trivial in my mind That is why That I am an Outsider But I don't care

Beautiful makes me a good poet
To have a fling at work is accepting a lot of adrenalin running through your veins. Mostly unrewarding, seldomly paid off and heartbreaking.

Quote ~ ix
To see a dwindling tree in the forest is not to know its bleakest but to know its earnest The decay is shown outwardly as despair by means of deforested ensnare Forlornness seems its welfare Externally the forest is declared undeserved eternally Beauty is unsecured directly And hope comes seldomly Whole, is a forest, alive as a unit Spaciousness is created with the tree's covet Restored are the longing of nutrients in a sacrificed facet

Deliverance
The beginning of the semester your kicking *** The end of the semester your fading fast. The beginning of the semester you future is bright, The end of the semester dull dim light, The beginning of the semester your papers write themselves, The end of the semester you can barely spell, The beginning of the semester it easy to get up, The end of the semester you seldomly show up, The beginning of the semester the professors the best, The end of the semester their just like the rest, The beginning of the semester the classes are fun, The end of the semester your ready to run. The beginning of the semester you major ballin', The end of the semester you eatin' ramen, The beginning of the semester you can sleep without worrying about anything, The end of the semester you stay up all night drinking red bull and 5 hour energy, The beginning of the semester to the day of your last, I wish you good luck and I hope you pass.

The Typical College Semester
Hardened exterior ever so slightly More of a facade, a mask. Sheltered tenderness Seldomly shines through. But ask me? It most certainly is not true. This feeling, so unnatural And surprisingly poignant too. It seeds a knot in my throat. Powerless. Weakness. I will not let them collaborate with me For I cringe, as this cannot be. I know, I should not be this way, But for now, I am going to stay. I do not have the courage You see, To face and claim this thing Called vulnerability. But one day Just maybe... My arms will be open free.

Sheltered Tenderness
salvation seldomly succumbs to desperation solitude is swinging it’s black bat at my ribs. i must be insane. all i am is a culmination of things upon things. i located meaninglessness waiting solemnly in aisle twenty three. for me to fall in love with it, treat it with care. allow it to define me. meaninglessness makes me new for a moment, serves as a symbol of my normality. i walk along the road that my colossal brother has paved in silicon and encrusted with diamonds. bodies upon bodies are suffocating just below. expired coal in their eyes, noses and mouths. not a soul on the surface seems to mind that silicon and diamonds seldomly serve as salvation. we are all born sane. it’s the neon. it’s the money. it’s the plastic people. .... mass megalomania.

progression towards mass megalomania
Behind her back they call her cold, But death has taken hold And they whisper that she hasn't a soul, But they can't see the huge gaping hole   Where her heart's supposed to be She cut it out herself, she's tired of misery She finally put her heart away Saving her blood for a worthy day Son, run as fast you can, Because she isn't the one for you man Her fire will burn you alive Her words hurt worse then a knife She walls are so **** high Not even angels fly that high, don't sigh She may cry herself to sleep at night, But don't trust her, don't try to make it right For the battle she fights is one inside It's with her own demons she's trying so hard to hide Not even the bravest can handle her at her worst And fragile egos around her spontaneously burst No one can ever find a way to her hidden heart The Minotaur in the labyrinth always tears them apart So high above the clouds, she only seldomly calls down When she does they always trick her into coming to the ground Where they cut into her chest trying to find her heart Then the monster she becomes rips them all apart For she's girl as well as a beast

So set its Sun in Thee
He looked into my eyes, deeply, and seldomly blinking. His body was trembling, as if the very earth herself quaked within his veins. He was breathing heavily; the intake shallow, the output, shallower still. His skin was damp from the nerves, of course, not the heat. For it had barely begun. He reached for my hand and held it tightly and a part of me, for but a moment, enjoyed the fact that he needed me. He clung to me with his face pressed against my chest occasionally emitting a quiet moan. Eventually, I felt his wet warmth soak into my shirt. It hurt me, but I didn't make him move. I stayed still and held him until the panic attack was over, until the wet tears dried. This is how I defined my love; how I make love. Acceptance, compassion, guidance, and a friend.

There is More Than One Way to Make Love
The Knackers-Yard nursing home, rotted and bleak Where the occupants dribble and seldomly speak And the medicine is strong while the coffee too weak Where there's never a care a fuss There's a trip to the bingo on regular days And they visit the beaches, the rivers and bays For the brick-a-brack stalls and the knitting displays In a rusty mobility bus Prunella, the wagon of elderly types With a blanket for every lap She's a trusty machine of a hideous green And she's Queen of the Watford Gap One morning in May when the weather was grim Miss Margaret Maywither went on a whim To converse with the orderly, Terrible Tim And they sat there and shot at the breeze They nattered and gabbed a selection paces And tried to put names to familiar faces But Maggie with plans to discover new places Relieved the young man of his keys Prunella, the stolen mobility bus Where the wings of bingo flap With a window down and a dressing gown She's Queen of the Watford Gap She took to the road with a skeleton crew Some heart-attack red or a worrying blue And frequently stopping when tablets were due They made for a hasty escape With a foot to the floor and a screaching of tyres A stopping of traffic and starting of fires Such fun can be had when a lady retires In a bus held together with tape Prunella, the choice of the senior crowd Each wrinkled lass or chap There's a lift for the crips and titanium hips And she's Queen of the Watford Gap The police gave a chase at a sensible speed As the Prunella and Margaret rapidly flee'd When escape is impossible, each one agreed They would rather be dead than be caught With a tug of the wheel and a rattle of teeth With a serpent of tyre smoke writhing beneath It was probably too late to order a wreath And the chance of survival was nought Prunella, on fire and twisted apart A smouldering pile of scrap With the wreckage and grease of a dozen police She's Queen of the Watford Gap

Prunella, Queen of the Watford Gap

Second Chances
Half the time The mirror smiles at me And the other half Breaks because of me Torn between the complexities of me Imperfection, Why should such a cruel word exist? Beautiful, Why should a word so magnificent be spoken so seldomly? Why should I, As a woman compare and contrast? Why should it matter what size certain body parts are or are not? Is the heart, the soul, not all you need?

Mirror Mirror in Their Eyes
It is for the reason we think and think and think, That the finishing line seems to shrink and shrink and shrink. Their trophies and our consolation prizes, we always link To the faces of where it matters not if we stink. We ***** and ***** but never look; Only offer our eyes to reference books, Pay our lives to learn how they sit and smile and dress and cook, When we could carve out crafts of our own on hippocampus walls to hook. Charts and charts of sound waves go farther than needed into the ear, But in this statistic, there are more of those which we are deaf to hear. Then we wonder, perhaps they will listen if we talk our fear through beer. What we cannot, we must preach, so in the morning it’ll all be clear. Putting on several mouths, sincerity seldomly salivates in our tongues. And all we ever scream about, we let clump and clog in our lungs. Our voices, we swallow, then verbalize universal dung. Is that easier than to allow our singularity be hung? To possess such delicate bones under thick coats of flesh and skin, One little sting, we crumble as if our framework isn't as fortified as tin. But sometimes when too stung, we rigidify and our cutis turns lean. Our pores, too open, that even what doesn't exist, we welcome in. And so, we stick to our lifelong work of homemade bibles, And add commandments every time we build stables, Along with valuables from the places in people’s fables. Only us can decide to make room for new tables.

Merry-go-round
Here I am, dancing in the wind I've got this mental journal in my head it's filled with lines of sonnets and verse The only thing I love to write about is time being turned in reverse Creativity is like a jungle cat She comes and goes as she may please and well, that is that Creativity is a near ghoul in my mind she disappears, comes and goes, lately she hasn't been so kind Because Creativity is a relentless ghost, she is She creates and destroys, envies, and produces She tosses and turns, her results are invisibly inconclusive because she is so fluid-like She seldomly hides or at least to others I call her name, it's just her game "Red Rover, Red Rover!" I call to her, "C'mon, come out, Creativity!" But during the day she always sleeps And at night, well at night, she plays.

Creativity's Game
Ripping the pages away from my brain And out of eyesight I focus in on the pain Its waves are soothing They wipe away the ink stains leaving a clean slate I DO NOT focus on the memories of every single word Only the important ones that seldomly occured Love Of course Without which where would I be? Weak and weary watching these waves wash over me. But these words are just characters They die off often and can be replaced But the memories they brought with them, The ones of your face... Are gone. But your love remained.

Hope
As I sit here in the dark with this blade so very sharp Only one thought wanders inside As I contemplate and cry This blade is my release It stifles the pain this is hidden inside beneath this joyful facade Deep within myself I harbor a pool, A pool of hatred and pain A place seldomly visited, Although it is so familiar It pains me more each time I visit Opening wounds much deeper than any laceration This blade, This friend of mine, Helps calm the pain inside The blood that will surface, Each drop that is lost, Resembles the pain pouring out My blood is my pain; This blade is my friend This act of self-destruction Is quite the contrary This is my cure, My remedy for the pain As I sit here in the dark with this blade so very sharp This object so perilous Is really no threat to me

My Release (circa 2002-3)
You once asked me why I never left. "Familiarity" was my answer. I often answered my phone without looking who was calling me but once I heard your voice, i already knew it was you. You had the habit of sneaking up on me, but even a couple meters away I already know that you're around. Your scent that smells like coffee and cigarettes with a pinch of lavander lingers through the air and I already knew that you were there. We used to stay all night on our rooftop just to see the stars I loved. I counted every plane that would pass by and you would count the hours of sleep you get from then on. For a moment there was silence and I knew you fell asleep, even breaths and slighty snoring, but i dont mind. I loved the way your face's calms when you sleep, your lips curve at one side and your eyebrows not scrunched up like always. From then on, i knew i would love to wake up everyday to your view. After a couple of months you asked me why I was leaving you. "Familiarity" was my answer. Days would pass and you seldomly call or text me. The only time i could hear your voice was when I look through our old videos. Time was never on our side, we suddenly had no time for each other. There were no more time for making out, no more time for some warm hugs, no more time to share how was our day. No more time to say and let the other feel loved. It rained and there were no stars in the sky that night. I fell asleep on the window seat, watching every raindrop fall on the glass. The next morning when I woke up, it was like you were never there.

Down the road he goes
The monsters quickly collect under the bed Graduating faster to free range demons roaming the head Diabolical shadows lurking on the perimeter of the peripheral Becoming a something far to real to think it still impossible Unlike fear and loathing, fear and logic are seldomly seen traversing side by side The unnatural occurrence of an unnecessary ride By the time an oblivious mind realizes the kamikaze danger The digits it controls are busy pulling out each heartbreak dagger Those select few that came through the front from the  back Create tallies in scar form that are starting to overlap as they stack Teetering on life's edge as it dares me to take that final step over Finding it impossible not to follow the devil when there's one on each shoulder

~•§•~ An Unnecessary Ride ~•§•~
I seldomly think if I looked like the Zeus statue sitting in imperial chair. All men and woman desiring me giving one godhead there for being a god is loved by all? warming hands in crouch like hands under pits. loved by all..,... though if Ayawas is child men but missing zeus body one must be lesser grade only bestowing supreme head... Though still loved by all if one has both he must be a god. for a god is worshipped Some have only ayawas with out zues beauty therefore, guardian A god but lesser grade?. Both lives are lived godly though zuesless has to sink to thines abyss more more often. Where so highest is pampered. For he is worshipped. Look there he is I could look at him all day

Zeus
A cracked record pirouettes upon its cherry oaked coffin, Listen closely to the requiem for my ravine. Can you taste the a’s, the b’s, the c’s, The spearmint flavor of cool jazz prancing      along       your      tongue. A eulogy for the mind. Our memory is not like it used to be. Light driven through unshattered glass. Reflecting amongst particles, a burnt hay fulgence. Before this home, the welcome mat was upside down. An encasement. A confinement. A rigid sweater, crafted of jagged straw and course hair clung to my skin. I could never leave. The smell of chemical potpourri coming from that pyrex plate, leaving the nostrils flaring in metallic bliss.         The taste of frosting. Same faces entering, different ones departing. Friend on the couch fearing **** Me in bed fearing robbery. A visitor in my room. Masked. Too dark to see.   He apparates from view while I shriek in silence. Alley cats in life threatening quarrel in a deaf man’s yard. He comes again unwelcomed, I dare this time to challenge. The drugs are done.     Heroes are seldomly forgotten.
