Sadly you found me STD yes you infected imperfected and now you wont leave you would think i had *** but its just an STD but you wont let me be not a bacteria inertia or viral spiral just a simple disease that doesnt invovle a sneeze im living yes i still can breath but i still have a STD... See she gave it to me... I can spread this thing and even if i would i dont thing that I should.. see it would just complacate things No we wouldn't die tonight but one day we just might not from the sores and the strains but from the aches and the pains of being lonely again... See its a lot more complicated then what you are making it you think Im just disgusting cuz of what I caught but I pretty sure its something u thought. lot worst then yeast cuz that will leave more like a Herpies or *** even tho that isn't what I've received And I dont have the funds to splurge so I dont know if I can scure the cure or if she even had the bug enough that it could be cured by her love I caught somethin that aint easily healing...... Espcially if you dont have the disease... I caught.....Feelings A sexually transmited disease

STD
There is magic in live theatre It can't be understood For even watching a bad play Is really something good The footlights and the curtains The sound of actors on the boards Of orchestras and the sound effects Of cheaply painted swords The theatre is a special place It excites me to no end It's a long lost brother coming home It's a warm and welcome friend Sitting in a theatre Waiting for the overture Is an illness I suffer happily And one for which I wish no cure Good theatre is transporting Takes you where the actor lives You sense it in the speeches That every actor gives You get lost in what's going on You feel hurt and you feel pain And when you get another chance You splurge and go again Live theater is hypnotic It's a world that stands alone It's a place inside your being You learn how love is shown It's where you listen to great music Played by artists never seen Where you hear the actor's heartbeat Unlike on the silver screen Live theatre is true magic I can't tell you how I feel when I see a live performance I know exactly what is real The lights are slowly dimming I hear them closing the lobby doors Shhhhh....the orchestra is ready Here comes the overture.....

Theatre is Magic
When letters wait to pounce on a blank page when thoughts crowd the mind like frothing **** in a pond I keep wondering what poetry is to me what poetry is to many Is it not the language of the heart with no intervention of gray matter the unlocking of closed vaults stirring the embers of love, hurt or pain or giving a free rein to fancy and flying on magic carpets to lands forlorn Sometimes it is a glide into a sea of tranquillity an escape from the humdrum of the world a flash of liberation from assaults of pain a sedative to numb the turmoil a sanctuary for a burdened heart a window to look at the world through a companion when one is inconsolably alone a candle flame in a darkening world a cloth line to hang the ***** laundry a water lily blooming in the pool of tears a shelter in homelessness sometimes it is a ladder to climb up to Heavens an angel on wings with tidings of hope peace in a world braced for war Poetry, if you are all these let us fall at your feet bless us in our art may we splurge in fancy and conjure up worlds from words! our poems may not be light houses but could be fireflies on a starless night!

What Poetry Is
(Rock Lake, Canada) In this country there is neither measure nor balance To redress the dominance of rocks and woods, The passage, say, of these man-shaming clouds. No gesture of yours or mine could catch their attention, No word make them carry water or fire the kindling Like local trolls in the spell of a superior being. Well, one wearies of the Public Gardens: one wants a vacation Where trees and clouds and animals pay no notice; Away from the labeled elms, the tame tea-roses. It took three days driving north to find a cloud The polite skies over Boston couldn't possibly accommodate. Here on the last frontier of the big, brash spirit The horizons are too far off to be chummy as uncles; The colors assert themselves with a sort of vengeance. Each day concludes in a huge splurge of vermilions And night arrives in one gigantic step. It is comfortable, for a change, to mean so little. These rocks offer no purchase to herbage or people: They are conceiving a dynasty of perfect cold. In a month we'll wonder what plates and forks are for. I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here. The Pilgrims and Indians might never have happened. Planets pulse in the lake like bright amoebas; The pines blot our voices up in their lightest sighs. Around our tent the old simplicities sough Sleepily as Lethe, trying to get in. We'll wake blank-brained as water in the dawn.

A traffic jam at 2 am? My work just done, tired I am. Is misfortune a thing with me? A fallacy unknown maybe. Recalled the time iPhone at max, An accident my old was cracked. Or day my rags compelled I splurge, The day some Prada had to surge. In Dubai, Grab’s copter went down, With lover, boyfriend’s stuck in town. Cold ***** camel ride through night, Paid Bed’uin gold, or wait till light. My friends all say I’m blessed and rich, But life with peace I’ll rather switch.

My First Sonnet
If you’re gonna Die in the apocalypse Drop out of school Dump yourself into that little Ditch you made that was stemmed from Decades of anxiety and Depression You might as well look good doing it. If your mascara runs in the eternal Race to your dripping baby chin It might as well be mixed with the glitziest Eyeshadow you can afford (Mine is hand-me-down from my mom, Who has been called a drag queen too many times For her to count but somehow That makes me, her little genderless clown, Feel connected in some cosmic way To her ****** again). Save your pennies so you can Splurge at the thrift store on Sweaters that go down to your knees to hide Vaginas and **** bits That maybe you wanna be coy about today, So all the people spitting in your eye can at least Trip on your pronouns and your triumphant **** YOU Can scrape the heavens. You’re allowed to buy that tie, I mean Easing the pain in your wrists and your heart and your stomach Is done best in floral print, In pop culture t-shirts, In femme/butch/femme/hard/soft **** culture, *** tantrums, If you’re gonna get called by the wrong ******* name all day At least look your best when you resist the urge To send fists sailing into their face. And it’s not just us but anyone, If you’re ******* angry that someone keeps commenting on the size of your Thighs the lush of your Lips and some ******** keeps Trailing you on his bike Shake your studded gloved fist at him and tell him THIS IS NOT FOR YOU, LORD OF THE ***** LORD OF THE NORM, I PICKED THESE FIVE DOLLAR SHOES FROM THE RACK OF GOOD WILL, SHONE THEM UP LIKE I SHINE MYSELF FOR MYSELF WITH MYSELF I AM MYSELF.

Bun o'clock I'm hungry but I don't say anything Because I can hold on longer Chew pm Someone says I look thin Have I lost weight?? Three pounds Potentially three pounds But I don't know because I always think I look bloated Four ice cubes to tie me over I don't need to eat I'm okay Five fat shaming ******* Stroll past me in their skinny jeans Reminding me who deserves to be a size 0 Tricks o' the mind Start to play As I tell myself I don't need to eat because I did yesterday Age seven is when Mama first told me to stretch my shirts Hide my figure Watch what I eat Stop taking second helpings No dessert Eight Looks like a couple of donuts. Muffins. Pizzas. Any round food. My round stomach. Nibble pm. It's okay to eat a little? Maybe? Ten pm? Or ten candy bars? Eleven hours later Nothing in my belly But four ice cubes Twelve: time to taunt my taste buds Trick myself Tell myself that I'll eat tomorrow Tomorrow will be the day The day I really splurge Everyone knows that's a lie But my tummy doesn't

i must tell you of this curse that's intertwined in every verse magnets compel, repel, and foretell it doesn't matter if you are well you'll always be attracted div-yd, divided, and subtracted resisting an instinctual urge to give your everything, to splurge call it north, call it south but the words slip out of your mouth your heart will be drawn-in hopeless, head over heels spin laced, maced, even some space you can't resist that face heaven, hell, or whatever you believe it's stronger than we can possibly conceive time out... time in! how did this begin? a chemical reaction a little bit of passion that just rushed in...

There's a simplicity to your grace. The moment I first caught a gaze as I was lost in your face. Admiring every beauty mark, every gesture, making sure not to miss a detail. Probably looked like a deer in headlights; you're not just a gust, you're the prominent wind to my sail. You speak volumes with silence, a powerful talent. You're a gifted bird when others can't land it. I'd journey alongside each one of your curves, take pit stops to poke at every nerve; Just so I can see what it would take to get you on that verge. Take a dive off your forehead to land on your lips, Lay there in bliss while your words serve as a blanket for me to reminisce. And as I lay there in splendor of the ideas you render, I jot down love poems for practice so I can show you once I get better. I even have one I wouldn't mind to display. I'll show you it now; you let me know if it's worth something to say. It goes: YOUR LOVE IS AN INSTRUMENT AND I WANT TO MASTER IT'S HARMONY - CAUTIOUSLY, PLUCK AT THE STRINGS, HOPING I'M NOT MAKING A MOCKERY. ALL THIS IN HOPES TO MAKE A MORE CELESTIAL TUNE, I'LL BE STEADILY PRACTICING WHILE RIDING TO YOUR HEIGHT IN A HOT AIR BALLOON. I hope you can find pleasure in the diction I splurge. Because you need to know you breathe life into each one of my words.

i want to achieve something i want to make something of myself but i don't want that to happen by me cutting myself off from my distractions i want to achieve with self discipline by my side the entire time why is self discipline so hard? or should i say why is it so hard for me? i keep myself awake till the early hours of the morning because i can't sleep with all these regrets of what I've not achieved taunting me so i'll feel bad about myself every night and promise and tell myself things that i will definitely do to change and achieve but that never puts my mind at ease because i never do it or i never stick to it i stick to these bad habits like superglue but i can't seem to form the habits that i crave constantly circulating around my head will be saying's like : 'those who do,get' or 'wake up feeling determined and go to sleep satisfied' every day i ask myself how do i stick to self discipline the worst thing is i know that no one else can do things for me and they need to be done so i have to do it aswell as wanting to do it but why can't i just do it this sounds very irrational and overly dramatic but it's so frustrating to discipline yourself i can't describe it or put it in to words easily i guess i'll just have to **** it up and get on with things otherwise i'll never move forwards because backwards is never an option even though that's all i seem to be doing at the moment everything is like a chore to me these days and writing as an outlet seems to be helping but it's not really so much writing that i'm doing it's more like an impulsive 'splurge' of feelings? emotions? thoughts? i'm not sure everything just seems to be pouring out of me at a rate that i will never be able to handle and i just want things to change desperately. everyday to me is a waste currently as that's what i'm doing i'm just wasting my days away every day is an opportunity that i'm not seizing which makes me want to grab myself by the shoulders and shake me forcing me to give a rational explanation as to why i'm wasting every day away. hopefully what I've just written has gotten rid of all my frustration and might actually help me overcome this   i hate blowing things out of proportion and creating problems but this is just a massive part of my life and if i don't take action the regret i will feel will be enough to destroy me i can't help but feel that everything is slipping out of my control and i'm at fault i am the main character in my story and i choose what happens.

i think i just vomited my mind up
i want to achieve something i want to make something of myself but i don't want that to happen by me cutting myself off from my distractions i want to achieve with self discipline by my side the entire time why is self discipline so hard? or should i say why is it so hard for me? i keep myself awake till the early hours of the morning because i can't sleep with all these regrets of what I've not achieved taunting me so i'll feel bad about myself every night and promise and tell myself things that i will definitely do to change and achieve but that never puts my mind at ease because i never do it or i never stick to it i stick to these bad habits like superglue but i can't seem to form the habits that i crave constantly circulating around my head will be saying's like : 'those who do,get' or 'wake up feeling determined and go to sleep satisfied' every day i ask myself how do i stick to self discipline the worst thing is i know that no one else can do things for me and they need to be done so i have to do it aswell as wanting to do it but why can't i just do it this sounds very irrational and overly dramatic but it's so frustrating to discipline yourself i can't describe it or put it in to words easily i guess i'll just have to **** it up and get on with things otherwise i'll never move forwards because backwards is never an option even though that's all i seem to be doing at the moment everything is like a chore to me these days and writing as an outlet seems to be helping but it's not really so much writing that i'm doing it's more like an impulsive 'splurge' of feelings? emotions? thoughts? i'm not sure everything just seems to be pouring out of me at a rate that i will never be able to handle and i just want things to change desperately. everyday to me is a waste currently as that's what i'm doing i'm just wasting my days away every day is an opportunity that i'm not seizing which makes me want to grab myself by the shoulders and shake me forcing me to give a rational explanation as to why i'm wasting every day away. hopefully what I've just written has gotten rid of all my frustration and might actually help me overcome this   i hate blowing things out of proportion and creating problems but this is just a massive part of my life and if i don't take action the regret i will feel will be enough to destroy me i can't help but feel that everything is slipping out of my control and i'm at fault i am the main character in my story and i choose what happens.

I think that a Bar-B-Q is an extension of a guys manliness. Or manhood. Now before all of you start disagreeing with me, listen to this blondes logic. When a man goes to purchase a grill There are many factors a man has to take into consideration. And they are, in this order, as follow: 1. Propane vs. Charcoal and Charcoal Fluid 2. The size of the grill 3. Rotisserie? 4. Accessories 5. Bar-B-Q covers Let us take each consideration in turn. Propane vs. Charcoal and Charcoal Fluid. Propane men: Some men want instant gratification.  Twist a **** or two, push a button here and instant heat.  Give it a few minutes to build to the right temperature and BAM!  In with the meat.  Once done, turn a **** or two and walk away.  No muss.  No fuss. Charcoal men: Other men are more inclined to take their time.  savor the experience.  They enjoy watching the flames build and turn into a glowing bed of meat searing heat.  When everything is just right, they gently place the meat.  They stand gaurd over it.  Tending to it.  Every once in a while poking it to test if it's ready.  These same men will sometimes sit snuggled around the glowing embers afterwards.  Watching the heat fade and cool.  Then they will ask their woman they had served  "How'd you like your steak babe?" Charcoal Fluid And Men: Some men should never be allowed near a Bar-B-Q that requires something to stimulate the flames.  It always ends in disaster and or injury. Size Of The Bar-B-Q: O.K.  Now this is a touchy subject for most men.  It has been known to cause envy, jealousy and has broken up a marriage or two.  Men think bigger is better. When buying a Bar-B-Q , a man thinks about; cooking area, the possible need for side burners, portability, and the all important factor of presentation.  That's right.  How will it look to the neighbors and guests?  Will they be properly impressed with it? Also, can it handle the extra meat when company comes over?  Heaven forbid it should let him down and make him look foolish. Rotisserie: This is an important decision.  Does having your meat spin make it better?  I think that this is more of an individual decision. Accessories: Now we have reached a critical point.  How to accessorize.  Of course, every man needs the right equipment to ensure success.  And all of the tools need to have a long reach and be durable. Tongs, fork, knife, spatula, basting brush. Some men even splurge and go for a flavor injector.  Now that's a man who cares about his meat. Bar-B-Q Cover: Finally we reach the last consideration a man has to make.  To cover or not to cover? Men!  Always, with out fail, should cover.  It is for their own protection.  And it shows you care. Thank you.

In the warmth of a summer sunset I sat idle on the sea shore Looking at the grey enormity That heaved and swelled in turn As I looked on, the breakers rose high Thundering sea waves dashed And crashed over the boulders Before me was the wild brutality of the sea! Though at times she is calm and windless, A smoldering volcano lies beneath her surface I sat away from the crowd In a cool squire of quiet Inhaling the briny air And enjoying the foam and spray My mind then was light as that of a child That plays on the sea shore, making sand castles I watched small boats carrying men They were heading towards the Casino Moored in the inlet of the sea I felt those men were like flies lured by the flame They come either to perish or to prosper Most of them go back with empty wallets Very few fortunate to splurge in money newly amassed My eyes stretched far into the horizon Bound by a vault of azure sky Swallows were circling beneath tangled clouds The tall masts of ships could be seen at a distance I watched waves taking the shape of curving scrolls Dolphins were seen leaping over the waters And ever growing ripples drifted and strayed As the fabric of blue got continuously shredded For fun I scribbled my name on the sands But a wave came crashing against the shore And the very next moment washed it away Was it here or there, I had scrawled my signature I don’t know. It has vanished leaving no trace Suddenly from a child, I grew into a sage How transient is man’s life on Earth How very tiny we are Set against the vastness of the sea In the wide expanse of life, as on a sea shore We scribble our names to stay But Alas! Some unknown hands wipe them away It dawned on me that with time’s ceaseless flow The world will continue to speed away Without you or me Leaving no memorials behind!

I can scream too I can shout I can kick up the dust And threaten to **** myself I can raise my fist And rage and scream at the world Take the car and run And splurge Take no concern for my actions No need for consequences Because **** the world I can go depressed too I can sulk too I worked to get what I wanted And when I spend Not with my money I feel sorry Because there is guilt I did not have anyone I was locked up I was expected to stay home Do the chores As my mother expects me to Wait for the weekend Wait for my siblings Only to see the beam on my mother's face When her son comes home It ebbed me to see that When I felt like I couldn't bring joy to her And I bite my tongue Fight myself to think it's satan's lie Home alone Stuck in a small house No privacy Because I can't even have a decent conversation With my best friend Without having eavesdropped I can't cry out loud too Because they might hear My room door is spoiled It can't be locked No privacy No escape Stay home There is so much to do Clean the windows Cut the grass Have you swept the floor? What have you done the whole day? That strain in her voice Now I can't do that Because I am miles away But the anger is still in me I didn't know it was Until someone else throws a tantrum That is just selfish That is very selfish I suffered too And I did not have anyone to rely on Though I did have my books My old canine friend The internet that sometimes harmed And my dreams This is my dream Then why this, Why this?

The Quantum anthem sets off the spark of enchantment as I file through things only thought All borrowed and blurred belligerence baffling beauty, things only sought. Spiraling sickens the surging of those who surrender their sudden sorrow for meaning to flutter. Herds of things unheard splurge in cinematic combs fastened by fertility Charred remembrances burn deep as feelings bleed Bursting boundless solidifying into expression Without it battles of head and heart oppression Redirecting rising ripples focused forward Onward and steady swaying as my doubt is fading Curtains close the colossal conundrum crystalizing in my veins Setting off distant delirium Honeycomb harbor home We are not alone We are not alone

Theories of the weary
I thought by now you would begin to understand That money is simply a paper, Made by trees, nothing but a material I thought my absence would begin to mean something to you More than any materialistic thing The value of money should not be worth more Than the daughter you have raised for 19 years. A few hundred dollars, easy to spend, Easy to rip, but readily replaced by the same thing My heart, so fragile but full of feelings, Yet easy to rip as paper, but not easily replaced Once I have gone, there is no coming back. Like our moments, these moments, the things that make me happy They cannot be taken back Once a moment is gone, it is gone So let me be happy in this life Let me splurge in things that make me happy Let me travel as I please Let me do as I please Let me.. Because you you do not even know me or my thoughts You have focused too much on other unnecessary things That you no longer realize or see that Every day I struggle with life or death At times I wonder a life with no life Or maybe a dying one Would you start to care? Would you start to do all you can to make me happy? Will money still matter more to you than I do? Papa please tell me... When will you begin to value your own daughter More than this fleshly world? I have thoughts of dying all the time. I go through a constant battle with depression I cry in the middle of the night Because of the remarks you, along with others have made. Let me rest from the pain So please start to realize that I am slowly dying every second This life I live can be taken at any moment And most importantly that I am worth more Than all you have valued in this life

Anger soaks the room abruptly, I'm thinking of you. Cleaning out my black bag I find my tarot deck, waiting in its green tin tomb. I shuffle and deal across the face of one of the paintings I've been working on, a red face scratched out. The brown lid of night hinges closed hard, and lamps take up the slack with yellow spittings. I draw the Tower, the Ten of Swords, the Hermit. Past, present, future tenses, all corrupted. But who's surprised? I derailed it all myself. Only the cat, the palette knife, and the lonely guitar bring life to days made thin with the grim solipsism of therapy, intolerable solitude, and the conviction that I am unsuited for all of it anyway. Of course, sometimes the depression rots away back into the sickly loam where it first bloomed. It's replaced by the mocking low-key mania that howls half-hopes, that each throb like a throated singing bowl combined with the profane drone of an air conditioner. In those moments, things get done. Bills get paid. I reach out to other people, breach the indifferent yawn I feel between each of us. I splurge, scrape a stool up to a bar, borrow an acquaintance for an hour, or else drink hard liquor alone until my teeth sing and drown.

There isn't a feeling more intense than lust, Nothing more engulfing, more true. Makes the hardest obstacle look like mere dust, No space for mind, no sign, no clue. What can explain the urge? That moment all energies converge, Illusion or divine upsurge? None can articulate which leads to this splurge. Yet in all my experience I have been a seer, Studied the feeling, up-close and near. The blinding force that goes beyond fear, Makes you forget life and everything dear. There wasn't anything that made me more sure, There couldn't be a feeling more pure. Wondered why it was the lowest sin, The blinding desire for another's skin. It then struck me like an arrow, Why does it have to be so narrow? What if lust was elevated to emotion? What if the same happened in life, or still, in devotion? Could there be a higher way to forget yourself? To taste the beyond and come out of your shelf. Yes! Yes! it struck me right, In one moment of divine insight. Then for truth I began my lust, A desire just as robust. From the root, to the crown, felt a mighty ****** That cleansed a stagnant mind of its rust. And so again I was made a child, Full of innocence, yet so wild. Blinded once more, but with a lust divine, Cracked open to see the subtle and the fine. Two centers exist through which your energies explode, The result the same, you become fierce. ******* both, The root, a seed for creation, The crown, the creators seat.

Lust.
We squander our health in our pursuit of wealth, We starve and overwork ourselves, In hopes, it all leads to a better life, Only for us to splurge our newfound wealth, To seek the health we once had.

Common Folks
You dare to laugh, at my pen my gun My staff, So much versatility in  introduction Of pen and paper, instant humility My depictions of words Allow me to splurge  mediforic descriptions that purge all from the Pen this urge, And when I paper they merge, and together they breed my words are it's seed it is my pen I need it is my  weapon indeed

MY WEAPON
splurge on the urge to serve well colored desserts binge with no purge. chomp away conversation and feel it where it hurts you are more abundant, than all the currency you could ever carry in your pocket or purse yet one of those black holes carries anxiety, profiling, while fear lurks For many moons, mirrors were dispersed to the cursed, Weeping and wallowing in whispering whirlwinds of woeful words unheard - preventing the never-ending spreading by attempting image cementing, projecting lists with thoughtless flaws causing immediate rejection with time the mind played a game to cage you in it's name, draining your pay, benefits, and full pension releasing the need to sow the seed for an introspective gaze you hold the key to breathe through the chains of that imaginatory detention space inhale exhale Suddenly walls lift from the maze you assumed was fatal race Your heart glows Knowing you're on the path you were hinted at but never faced To forever flow forward with a loving third eye seeing absolute grace, emitting energy in everyone, thing, mirror, and place immediate influx of infectious bliss-infusing airwaves vibrate to the tune  of soul affection~ to realize inbetween scenes you appreciate the mystery, part of a pinpoint plan, puzzle piecing the learned ability to see -perfection~ It's you.

.uoy st'II'ts you.
Shoals of salmon on an upstream rush, a frenzy propelled by an instinctual wish, the milling evening crowd does siege the street, one'd think it is a riot, all hopes to be sane is already lost. Not soldiers on march, they are,  but within each rages a war, not exactly knowing what they want to search, this street has it all, hence all blindly flow along the stream greedy green eyes hunt, splurge, conquer,vent steam. Look for the labels, brand is sacrosanct,the only pointer once the libels are spotted, in to the brain enter, the deal is done smile, be contended, evade every other thought, why waste time on value judgement,pointers assure delight. Salmon on the stream never look for happiness, a clock work motion that culminates in nature's prompt. nowhere in this broad street you'd find a shop that sells- happiness; but all search for it, without even aware.Fail.
