"somtimes" poems
Enrique,
Emilio,
Lorenzo,
the three of them frozen:
Enrique by the world of beds;
Emilio by the world of eyes and wounded hands;
Lorenzo by the world of roofless universities.
Lorenzo,
Emilio,
Enrique,
the three of them burned:
Lorenzo by the world of leaves and billiard *****
Emilio by the world of blood and white pins;
Enrique by the world of the dead and abandoned newspapers.
Lorenzo,
Emilio,
Enrique,
the three of them buried:
Lorenzo in one of Flora's *******
Emilio in the dead gin forgotten in the glass;
Enrique in the ant, the sea, and the empty eyes of birds.
Lorenzo,
Emilio,
Enrique,
the three in my hands were
three Chinese mountains,
three shadows of a horse,
three landscapes of snow and a cabin of white lilies
by the pigeon coops where the moon lies flat under the rooster.
One
and one
and one,
the three of them mummified,
with the flies of winter,
with the inkwells the dog ****** and the thistle despises,
with the breeze that freezes theh eart of all the mothers,
by the white ruins of Jupiter where drunks snack on death.
Three
and two
and one,
I saw them disappear, crying and singing
into a hen's egg,
into the night that showed its skeleton of tobacco,
into my sorrow full of faces and piercing bone splinters of moon,
into my happiness of whips and notched wheels,
into my breast troubled by pigeons,
into my deserted death with one mistaken wanderer.
I had killed the fifth moon
and the fans and the applause drank water from the fountains.
Hidden away, the warm milk of newborn girls,
shook the roses with a long white sorrow.
Enrique,
Emilio,
Lorenzo,
Diana is hard,
but somtimes she has ******* of clouds.
The white stone can beat in the blood of a deer
and the deer can dream through the eyes of a horse.
When the pure forms sank
under the cri cri of daisies
I understood they had murdered me.
They searched the cafés and the graveyards and churches,
they opened the wine casks and wardrobes,
they destroyed three skeletons to pull out their gold teeth.
Still they couldn't fine me.
They couldn't?
No. They couldn't.
But they learned the sixth moon fled against the torrent,
and the sea remembered, suddenly,
the names of all her drowned.
20.5k
somtimes shy.
beautiful people make me weird;
the reasons why.

i remember riding shotgun
between my ma and pa
mom had on the radio
dad chewed on his chaw
I always rode the middle
Every time in that old truck
I could feel each bounce and bump
Somtimes I had to duck
Ma would play the radio
Jesus music filled the air
Daddy, turned and looked away
Just like he didn't care
Daddy was in Vietnam
He met Ma when he got back
He lost two fingers in the war
From a sneak enemy attack
Ma grew up in Jamestown
A small town in Tennessee
Nothing there but the old mine
Nothing much for one to see
She went to church on Sundays
Listened to WCLC
Jesus music all the time
For the folks in Tennessee
Each Sunday after service
Pa would pick us up at church
He never went inside though
He didn't quite like Pastor Birch
Daddy only owned one suit
He'd had it since the war
He wore it to get married in
It didn't fit no more
The sleeves had gotten shorter
The chest was far too tight
But, since he didn't go to church
To pa....it fit just right
Ma would sit and listen
And I would watch my pa
He'd make faces out the window
Never ever to my ma
Pa had faith, but different
He believed in what he saw
And what struck his eyes in war time
He could never tell my Ma
So, we would go to market
After church, each Sunday morn
Ma would go in shopping
We rush her with the old truck horn
She'd cuss pa when she got back
He'd just smile, enough to say
Let's get home, daylights wasting
There's still chores to do today
When I was nine, well almost ten
Ma got sick, I mean, real bad
She was being called to heaven
And I remember that my Dad
Took me into town to shop
To get a suit and shoes
Before we went he sat me down
And told me the bad news
I cried, for near an hour
Funny thing, my pa did too
I'd never seen this happen
To me, well...this was new
He said, you're ma's a fine one
She's the best person that I know
Now, she's wanted up in heaven
That's all...we need to go
Ma died three days later
Pa phoned up Old Pastor Birch
He told him what had happened
And made plans to use the church
In all my life, I'd never seen
My pa dressed up so good
He said, I don't look perfect
But, I done the best I could
Pa's been gone for thirty years
And you know, I've got his suit
Not the new one that he bought that day
But, the one...he gave the boot
It reminds of the better times
When Ma and Pa and me
would ride out on a Sunday
I'd be shotgun, just to see
I remember riding shotgun
With Ma and Pa, and it was good
Jesus Music on the radio
As I think back...it was good

Written November 2008
Somtimes when I get bored
My mind starts to wander.
My head flies away to faraway lands
Filled with talking bunnies, skunks, and squirrels
And ticking clocks
Swallowed up.....by alligators.
But even in this rhelm
Of extraordinary things
There is still that boy
Who runs away from me;
My prince charming.
I call to him, To let me in;
To know the secrets in his head.
But still he flies
Into the skies
Of Never-Never Land.

I don't take life too seriously
more like popcorn and cotton candy
My writing is raw and somewhat simple
Not real acne, just a pimple
Funny sometimes
And sometimes very dark
An awful lot to say
About a broken heart
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Somtimes very angry and mad
Ill always find something to write about
Whether it's the ocean or love or a case of the gout
I'll keep writing, I'll never hold back
Unless they take me off my Prozac

somtimes I dream about flowers
about their golden petals
and their green leaves
how they're swaying
in the soft wind
but do the flowers dream about me?
about my golden hair
and my blue eyes
how I'm swaying
under all that pressure?
do they see me in their dreams
how I'm crumbling
under all this weight
like they would
under heavy rain?
I like to think they do
just like I dream about them
and maybe just like I marvel at them
they see beauty in me too
sometimes I dream about flowers
and sometimes flowers dream about me

if i were a little taller
maybe i could be big enough to be your sun
if i grew a few inches overnight
i would be able to fix that broken light
i could talk to people without
hurting the back of my neck
i could reach that blue canvas above
i could see the city
the endless stretch of a green scenery
in all of it's light and glory
maybe if i were a few inches taller,
i could strut that outfit
without looking like a
child straight out of the 90s
i could run faster
towards that goal
i could dream higher
i could finally stand out
you could spot me in that picture
with the face i drew earlier
but i guess
i'll just be down here forever
that girl who was nothing more
than a person below your elbow
somtimes i walk alone
and i feel like the world is drowning me
although i see the sky
and it keeps on screaming
"this is vast"
"this is yours"
"the world is yours"
but i cant always feel that way
i cant feel among you
when your arm is resting
on my shoulder
it pushes me further
into the ground that holds
all of the demons that'll tell me
that im not good enough for this world
i am not a barricade
i am not a post
i am not a doll
i am not an object
i want to see what's in front of you
i want to be seen
but i guess
i'll just have to accept
that this will all i will ever be.

Sometimes,
Anger is good.
Letting off steam is a blessing.
Why?
So you don't hurt the one you love.
In return,
Regretting because you did it.
So go off alone,
Blow off steam.

The pictures in my head are monochromatic some of the time. They run at speed and then slow down. Sometimes I see people I've never met. Somtimes faces I don't want to remember. Then flashes of colour and noise and pain. Then I wake and fear the day.

Sometimes I wonder what you are doing.
Then think, it does not matter to me.
Sometimes I wonder why you are even in my space
My words, they cease to rhyme
You!
Are always on my mind
Is this me in decline?
This feeling its so sublime
Sometime I wonder what you are thinking
Do you sit and wonder about me
Like I ponder about you
Wondering what you do
Do you like me
Remember the soft touches
The passionate clutches
The lovers embrace
You lips on mine I still taste?
Sometimes
I do wonder what you think
When you are not near me
I am glad you will never leave my side
I love you.
Somtimes I do wonder.

My life is a sitcom with a fluxuating genre.
My head is full, but I won't lay it out upon ya.
Somtimes with my attitude, the days feels mastered.
Other times it's not fine and feels nothing short of disaster.
It's not an exaggeration for how we feel aint the same.
Right now I'm just tryna figure out whether or not I like the rain.
Most times I do, but depending on situations feelings can change.
Anybody up for a friendly exchange?
Strangers aren't strange, merely foreign, which many people can become.
It's okay to feel down or whatever because it's better than being numb.
Where are our heads putting off what we dread,
Thinking that there's something better instead?
We see where our own feet now stand
Without directing ourselves elsewhere, it seems that the past is in high demand.
Right now though I'm gonna sit here on the bus among the silent before for school I split.
I'll try and dictate how I feel looking out the window while watching the rain hit

I guess you could say those 3 words can make a girl smile ear to ear
Thinking the guy she's in love with is thinking about her
His first thought in the morning to write that to her
Gets her thinking about him all day long
Being called beautiful is a wonderful feeling
Even more wonderful when your insecure about yourself
When you hate what you see looking back at you
He can make your whole day
It use to make my whole **** day
I loved going to sleep and knowing that he would write those 3 words to me
And I liked waking up for a change
I liked thinking I was he's first thought in the morning
Too bad it was me and 3 other girls he would make feel special
Waking up in the morning now
Isn't so special
I haven't heard those 3 words in a very long time
I don't think he ever meant to make me feel so good
But man did he
Somtimes I still wake up
And dream he would text those 3 words again
Good morning, beaufuil
Where did you go?

I counted back from ten inside my head
whising you were still laying in my bed
She smiled at the stars like they knew all her darkest secrets
and all the hopeless kids on the street laughed at me
because deep down inside we all knew the universe didn't
Being reckless became a part of my life
somtimes my hair was navy blue and other days it was black
I loved the smell of danger and I liked being afraid
I wish we could start all over again
we would lay down together
surounded by pink flowers and a ***** mind
You could never keep your mouth shut
or say something positive
this boy hated the world and everyone in it
except for me
and thats why I felt like the most special person
in the world whenever I was near him.

Down in meadows where sweet grass grows by the inch by moolite -a girl I know she would stroll.. quietly ,barefoot and beautiful.
Flowers and rose petals filled the air as she strolled to valley.down.deep. this girl I know who couldn't sleep. she.strolled.to the green valley way down deep.
Nite breezes whispered sadness of love adrift like the echoing bubbly,babbling brook as cool grass mingled with achy feet she walked her cares to the valley down deep.
This lady I know is lovely and rare and full of sudden sweet surprise. Like the ones that sparkle from her sleepy eyes. I think she is layered and her sorrows are deep and her pain she does keep quiet and hidden
Way down deep.
So, I somtimes wonder and conjure what it be to hold her hand ,put her head on my shoulder sing a lullaby low and deep and stroll together on the winding path that would take us by starlite and moonlite and gentle brook to.lay us both down in clover and Jasmine.
stroke her brow and whisper.her away to sleep in the peacefull valley with windmills up on the hills.
That place in her joyfull surrender in the green valley way down deep
This woman I know is soft as surrender and tough as iron but the girl inside still dreams the wistfill fairytale ending while doing and going and fixing unending. Regret like a stone on her shoulder, head bowed and sweet.she has kept to the task but now weary for rest and gentle persuasion.
There's a place in the gloaming where dreamwalkers meet a misty suspension. A warm sunny place a snow capped and glistening winterland an azure briney ocean and sand.
Sahara of rippling sand like sweet music rippling forth from a merciful harp that draws her up upwards and aloft to soar and skim in freedom then she sails the Caribbean trades with the wind in her hair still dreaming wide awake.. she.sits on the bow and seaspray carresses her hopes . Salty misy and cool and she dreams in a dream inside of contemtment unending. Then soars aloft again infitfull sleep then plunges to depths of secrets well kept to.the valley so green and so deep.
To the valley
The valley of sleep.
To green meadows
In the valley.down deep.

Sometimes I wish that feelings were optional.
We choose when we use them.
Maybe down a grey pill with water,
wait for the moment our hearts stop beating.
Not literally but you get what I'm saying!
If I didn't have feelings,
do you know where I'd be right now?
Don't worry,
I don't know either.
Maybe I wouldn't love the one who hurts me,
deal with the physical and verbal abuse,
wouldn't take no for an answer.
Maybe I wouldn't be scared anymore.
Feelings get in the way of things,
they hide away
and at the moment you don't need them, they come out.
Ruining everything.
Do you ever wish that?
To be able to go along life,
feeling no pain nor worries..
Yet, it's quite obvious that,
that will never be.
Feelings are what make us human correct?
That let us fix our mistakes..
To feel.
But somtimes I can seriously say,
Feelings. ****

Well...here's a little hint world. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Sometimes I run....sometimes I cling....somtimes I want space...sometimes I get hurt when I get it....But "sometimes" has become my "always" and that really gets to me. Sometimes I think I may just lose my mind and sit in a corner and just ball my eyes out until someone picks me up...which may not ever happen...And everyone has some answer...some rationalization to all that I feel. I wonder if Sylvia had to listen to all the hypocritical ******** too. It's no wonder. They all say "it will get
easier." Well
you know what.
..it never seems to get easier for me....only more difficult and
more confusing
and more
demanding. When your idea of a dream is to just disappear thats when you are close to what they call rock bottom...but what if you fall in a bottomless pit?
Answer that...yeah one of you hypocrites answer that. "Tomorrow will look different."
Say that to a blind man. "You have to let go the hate."
Come again?
You who choose to follow only the Commandments which are convenient to you. Preach to me then take me to bed
..and then convince yourself spanking is " a beautiful union." Spare me any lectures please...everyone who thinks they have just the right
words to say...because you don't and truth is all of you only say them to benefit yourself anyhow. I am tired of all the little games , and of all the little people.

once upon a clock
my house was but a pile
of cards
dealt badly to me
or so i thought
but as time rolled by
riding a mossless rock
i was inclined to think
i could rebuild my deck
using a straighter arrow
and some crazy glue
and make a cosy nook to
theorize and dissertate
on the new and better
portion, for to sit on
my plate.
for as the wind blows
it can bring fortunate things
of gilded dust and dedelian
wings.
sonetimes it is the choice that matters.
and somtimes it is ok
to just sit on the dock
and watch it all blow away
but don't watch kettkes.for they are just introvert and shy... now the toaster however
is a pop up kinda guy.
ok so now this garden path is leading somewhere a tad weird
down past the zen all calm and white mountains
to the quirky and a little bezerky secret garden
wall and locked where all the gnomes have ned kelly beards, and the lions are dandy and a titch randy.
the dragon snaps are snippity and the roses
are just **** posers and the camelia's would **** for a good cup of tea.
but enough of the garden tour,
we needs must be giving attention to the
matter at hand tho sleight as it be
we have a house of cards to rebuild

I don't know why
I don't write
I guess I'm livin' life
It's an endless fight
Spend time with the kids
Working at home
Don't know what I did
When I wrote daily
Ignored everyone
I wrote gaily
Didn't ride my cool bikes
Told the boys no
Didn't go on long hikes
Became absorbed in fiction
Lost my mind
Romanced in diction
The poems flowed
Like cascading falls
Life it slowed
My words built walls
But this sets me free
Vivid and vital
I need both I see
Somtimes life shall idle

Somtimes I ponder on the thought of what could have been
On how different things would be
On how you out of all people, you have always placed a smile on my face
I ponder on what could have been
I ponder on the differences
I ponder on the future that could have been happening
I ponder on the now that would have changed our lives but the things I ponder on didnt happen
The differences are different
The future is already arranged for something else
The now is already happening
But the one thing that remains always is the smile that you placed on my face
My love
The thing that keeps me going sometimes are the silly things you would say
The funny things you would do
The changes you have made.
See you are unique
You are a one of a kind
Your mind is expanding in ways I would have never imagined
Your heart beats more peaceful and calmer than ever
You have changed in a way that makes me see you as a better and extraordinary person
See you have changed but also have changed my feelings for you
You have changed my way of thinking in a way
You have impacted my life to a level where
I feel like the sun itself hugs me
The moon says hello
The stars brighten up my night
The clouds give me that extra push
See you have done all of this by just placing that one smile on my face
So thank you for everything
Thank you.
A million times, thank you.
You truely are someone in which I wouldnt mind to ponder on.
