At last you have departed and gone to the Unseen. What marvelous route did you take from this world? Beating your wings and feathers, you broke free from this cage. Rising up to the sky you attained the world of the soul. You were a prized falcon trapped by an Old Woman. Then you heard the drummer's call and flew beyond space and time. As a lovesick nightingale, you flew among the owls. Then came the scent of the rosegarden and you flew off to meet the Rose. The wine of this fleeting world caused your head to ache. Finally you joined the tavern of Eternity. Like an arrow, you sped from the bow and went straight for the bull's eye of bliss. This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth. You are now the Sun - what need have you for a crown? You have vanished from this world - what need have you to tie your robe? I've heard that you can barely see your soul. But why look at all? - yours is now the Soul of Souls! O heart, what a wonderful bird you are. Seeking divine heights, Flapping your wings, you smashed the pointed spears of your enemy. The flowers flee from Autumn, but not you - You are the fearless rose that grows amidst the freezing wind. Pouring down like the rain of heaven you fell upon the rooftop of this world. Then you ran in every direction and escaped through the drain spout . . . Now the words are over and the pain they bring is gone. Now you have gone to rest in the arms of the Beloved.

Gone to the Unseen

Dank Memes
How beautiful is the rain! After the dust and heat, In the broad and fiery street, In the narrow lane, How beautiful is the rain! How it clatters along the roofs, Like the ***** of hoofs! How it gushes and struggles out From the throat of the overflowing spout! Across the window pane It pours and pours; And swift and wide, With a muddy tide, Like a river down the gutter roars The rain, the welcome rain! * * * * In the country, on every side, Where far and wide, Like a leopard’s tawny and spotted hide, Stretches the plain, To the dry grass and the drier grain How welcome is the rain!

Rain In Summer
the mirror that whispers, the mirror that shouts, words of hate and torture and spout. the lies it speaks are of disgust. the thoughts it creates turns 'should stop eating' to a 'must'. the mirrors lies are tempting to try, but a forewarning ; the lies will control you, and they will eat you alive.

I see you, monster... In your sockets bore dead, dark eyes They hold the blackest of stares Nebulous swirling pits of demise Thin lips would spout the most sibilant of hisses Every so often would curl into a snarl Dry and chapped, almost unworthy of kisses Large, rough snout, jutting out like a crag You sniff around tirelessly for easy targets Preying on the unsuspecting minds of those under your flag Tapering chin, sprouting strands of coarse hair Unkempt and gritty from your last meal Decaying teeth, crooked due to little to no care Your face is cratered; tales of trying adolescent years Wearing a face only a mother could love Expressionless but it screams out your fears Ugly jointed limbs that grew out of sync Disproportionate, misshapen, grotesque Little noggin with sparse hair, packed within, a brain that thinks I hear you, monster... As you stalk your sleepless nights Nocturnal ambience be your playground Lurking in the dark; places with no light Bulky, heavy feet but deft and silent Can barely notice when you're up and about As if cloaked yourself stealthy, with steps ever transient Respire you do, exhaling breaths so gnarly Ingesting good air, converting into fervid, loathsome notions With which you paint a portrait so ghastly I feel you monster... Deep within the recesses of my heart Destroying and distorting all that was pure Testing my will till I should fall apart You're but the twisted manifestation of conscience Feeding on my trials and nurturing them into vile abominations I despise that of you but I seem to have developed dependence I see you, monster... You're horrid and beastly, an embodiment of absolute horror I await the day that you would finally dissolve For I am weary of seeing you staring back in the mirror

Tell me why it seems like the walls are closing in Tell me why my hopes they're stretched far and thin Tell me why my dreams still struggle in this fight Tell me why every time I draw air but it feels so tight. Tell me why in this turmoil my heart does wallow Tell me why lifes' lessons by the heapfuls I choke to swallow Tell me why I'm somewhat free but then again I am not Tell me why I really do have but I haven't really got. Tell me why I try to sleep many a restless night Tell me why I am so afraid of many a fearful fright Tell me why I still feel the way I have felt before Tell me why I ask many questions which leaves me broken and sore. Tell me why so much emotions run amok within me Tell me why I look yet I do not really see Tell me why despondence is back; it's here to haunt Tell me why such uncertainties always beckons to taunt. Tell me why I want more but I am quite contented Tell me why I have to accept the path I've very much resented Tell me why I already know but I still keep on asking Tell me why it seems like the reasons are in every way lacking. Tell me why I feel so happy but in fact I am so sad Tell me why it all seems unfair but I have to be glad Tell me why I found love in the most unfortunate circumstance Tell me why to a mournful tune I am stuck in dance. Tell me why my heart feels engorged but I can't release it all Tell me why I am so scared but I would still want to fall Tell me why I feel you close when you're farther than far Tell me why it seems incredulous that we share the same star. Tell me why I long to give you more when I can't this instant Tell me why I can feel better but I seem so resistant Tell me why sometimes I look up and curse at my luck Tell me why I refuse to focus on courage that I really should pluck. Tell me why I lay in bed dreaming of a place far away Tell me why I find myself moping more and more each day Tell me why I chose to be naive and in fate I do give trust Tell me why time and time again it just gets ground to dust. Tell me why I feel so beaten and weak when I should be strong Tell me why I am so familiar in a place I don't belong Tell me why I have to live with a mask on my face Tell me why I feel like a marionette strung up by lace. Tell me why I dug deep when these words make me cry Tell me why the tears still trickle when my eyes are dry Tell me why I share this when I know you would feel bad Tell me why I would even spout the words that make you sad.

Everything they say, Everything they do, Everything they spout, is a lie. I know because the voices in my head told me so.

Lies (2012)
You can pretend That the black gloss On my lashes Will glue my eyes shut- Make me blind to truth; To ‘true knowledge.’ Go ahead. Tell yourself That my red-painted lips Only spout nonsense. It will only make it sweeter When my wing-lined eyes Give you whiplash as I walk past you To get my degree; My award; My paycheck. Maybe if you’re ‘nice’ I’ll buy you an ice pack.

Brains or Beauty?
People may tell you to not cry... I won't because I know the difference. They think they know when in fact they lie... I say bury yourself in the deepest of detriments. They may say that a new day will come... They only spout what they can't comprehend. They forget that you are ailing from a broken heart and that you're not dumb. There's only you in your space, alone you stand... Textbook responses are all they can offer... They know not that it'll only make things worse... There can be no replies so nice and proper. To rid you of your life, your plight, your curse. They may even share personal events that they think familiar. Thinking what worked for them may work for you. But no two situations are the same, albeit looking quite similar. At the end of the day, you only owe it to yourself to pull yourself through. I say feed your pain, grieve hard if you must Wallow... Dwell... Drown yourself everyday. Let your blood sear your insides, beneath your crumbling crust. Let the world around you descend into destruction and decay. What made me the expert... To say these horrid, putrid things. Because I am you and we both lay in the dirt. Driven mad by the persistent echoes of our own misgivings. I'm no expert... I am just a broken man. Telling you to let yourself be caught in your own sad and angry song. Be weak... Be as weak as you possibly can... So you could rise from the ashes and emerge hale and strong.

Infuriated doesn't come close when listening to the words you spout You are so special in every way I could feel the need, I had to say If you don't go away I'll strangle you with your mum's **** beads Now where that came from left me at a loss, but he shut up and buggered off. Probably gone home to check what else his mum has hidden under her bed!

**** bead asphyxiation
Good sir, one thing I owe to you: to tell you that I hate thee true. Your sly advances show for real that I am but your body's meal, to be deliciously consumed, and have my sanctity be doomed. Repent, oh Devil, back to Hell! Sink back into your slimy well where from its spout burst tongues of fire to feed your wretched, black desire. And if you do not go today then under Earth and dirt you'll lay. I'll see that you ne'er have a breath until you've met your certain death. You call yourself a pious soul, yet crying's God's name you take me whole. You choke me up in your embrace, and tell me I'll be filled with "grace." Thy love is but a dark snake's skin, which when once shed shows what's within. Thy hands like teeth about to clench. The stink from out your mouth doth stench -just like the rotting fumes of graves and poisoning the prey it craves. Ah, sir, if you are even that. You pull your tricks out of a hat. But I can see the trickery and magic so it's plain to see: you do not love me for myself, you'd use me; put me on a shelf - another token that you've won. But put quite simply, sir, I'm done.

In reply to "To His Coy Mistress"
Why do you do this? Your Army of Nothings Who lay in the sun and are all but sweet who swelter and sweat in that fresh cut grass mowed by a man you can't hope to know. And you, you there, with the grin Who's side are you on anyway? What made you the prince of the Army of Nothings; The leader, the first in command. You spout and you spit that ******** and bare your teeth at me like you're the bomb dot com You're such a disgrace. parading around with your head up your *** "So what's new?" Oh, shut up, You can't even fill out your pants. Why should I care for you, why should I feel? How will I ever come home? Where welcoming words and magical treasure, and stories that never come true but are good. Where futures of light once reigned so supreme I swore they would never run dry. I thought you'd missed out, you know, then and there, of the life that we talked of in dreams. No flowers and chocolates, no diamond rings, just love. Made of stuff so much deeper and denser and finer and lovely, and warm, and alive... But it's over, and done. and I can't have it back. So I go on avoiding the Army of Nothings as they come marching in marching in one two, at the ready I feel deep in my bones that breaking and tearing Help me, archangel! Save me! You promised! You said you would always be there in that carved-out big apple our home, once upon when we laughed and were happy and good. But goodness runs out. You made that as clear as a crystal that needs to be smashed. And I did that, remember? I left it all broken and you were so proud So proud I had chosen the right over wrong. yet you overlook all the splinters of glass all there all here all lurking in me. I don't want to cry or beg or to fight But I loved you in ways that she found unacceptable? So silly, so stupid, so big that it keeps you away *Not that I care very much For your army of nothings or things that remind me of memories gone with the wind* But I do.

SONNET TRIBUTE: JESUS ***** C. MANDREZA JR.
The *** Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat: If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse. If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat, If you put him in a flat then he’d rather have a house. If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat, If you set him on a rat then he’d rather chase a mouse. Yes the *** Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat— And there isn’t any call for me to shout it: For he will do As he do do And there’s no doing anything about it! The *** Tum Tugger is a terrible bore: When you let him in, then he wants to be out; He’s always on the wrong side of every door, And as soon as he’s at home, then he’d like to get about. He likes to lie in the bureau drawer, But he makes such a fuss if he can’t get out. Yes the *** Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat— And there isn’t any use for you to doubt it: For he will do As he do do And there’s no doing anything about it! The *** Tum Tugger is a curious beast: His disobliging ways are a matter of habit. If you offer him fish then he always wants a feast; When there isn’t any fish then he won’t eat rabbit. If you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers, For he only likes what he finds for himself; So you’ll catch him in it right up to the ears, If you put it away on the larder shelf. The *** Tum Tugger is artful and knowing, The *** Tum Tugger doesn’t care for a cuddle; But he’ll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing, For there’s nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle. Yes the *** Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat— And there isn’t any need for me to spout it: For he will do As he do do And theres no doing anything about it!

Don't Worry, Be Happy In life you rarely catch a break, was being born just a mistake. Things may happen beyond our control, those are the days when you pack a bowl. If you find yourself in any kind of trouble, a real friend would be there on the double. If you find life ain't worth living, waiting for you is a new beginning. Not every day can be perfect, maybe your thoughts, you need to collect. Some days you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, just be glad you didn't wake up dead. No matter how much your in pain, hide your tears by crying in the rain. There will be days when you're depressed, you may even feel like you're possessed. Every dark tunnel has a hidden light, you have to search hard, cause it isn't always bright. Then out of nowhere things fall into place, on those days, you must carefully embrace. No matter how bad it seems, someone has it worse, life is something you can't rehearse. Find something that will make you smile, if you still have an old phone, give me a dial. No matter what always think positive, dress up nice and be very provocative. I wish there was a happy pill, they already have one that makes you chill. I think of my kids when I feel sad, that makes me one happy dad. Cuddling with my girlfriend makes me happy, she accepts me even though I'm a bit wacky. Always look on the bright side of life, love can be spread with a butter knife. I've been down, I've been out, my heart has poured red like a spout. So on those days when you're feeling blue, just don't forget it goes the other way too.

Not every day can be perfect, maybe your thoughts, you need to collect. Some days you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, just be glad you didn't wake up dead. No matter how much your in pain, hide your tears by crying in the rain. There will be days when you're depressed, you may even feel like you're possessed. Every dark tunnel has a hidden light, you have to search hard, cause it isn't always bright. Then out of nowhere things fall into place, on those days, you must carefully embrace. No matter how bad it seems, someone has it worse, life is something you can't rehearse. Find something that will make you smile, if you still have an old phone, give me a dial. No matter what always think positive, dress up nice and be very provocative. I wish there was a happy pill, they already have one that makes you chill. I think of my kids when I feel sad, that makes me one happy dad. Cuddling with my girlfriend makes me happy, she accepts me even though I'm a bit wacky. Always look on the bright side of life, love can be spread with a butter knife. I've been down, I've been out, my heart has poured red like a spout. So on those days when you're feeling blue, just don't forget it goes the other way too.

The proudest thing I think I've ever done, Such artistry, such skill I have attained! The semi-glaze reflecting of the sun, The richness of the blue, so lightly stained; So perfect is the pointed pouring spout That sits upon a rim of gold emboss, And proudly do the handles both stick out, Exquisite is the painted Celtic cross; I toiled and slaved for oh so many years, My fingers ever wet and moist with clay, But now at last I'm free of all the fears And doubts that clouded me until this day;         I know you'll all be very pleased for me,         So thanks, my friends, on Hello Pottery!

What's your take on walking? My body serves my soul and tells me how to go. My heart, affixed -- aims to show. These ways I’ve walked in my shoes and stockings. I've looked to heaven’s stars, to daylit clouds, when I've stepped out, or dropped my gaze to track the ground. Yes, it is true—whoever passed me by could have taken offense and supposed I lacked my confidence. And ofttimes, I strode out straight and true as if toward a far mist horizon. Un-manifest future, even peek-a-boo, could be comprehended?  I should doubt it. And if I wished to address an occasional in-the-dumps, lost-at-sea feeling, I'd shut my eyes, and walk backwards -- owl-like, swivel 360 my head. Backwards blind circumspection seemed worthy my try; Ask--Who am I? I would story where I’d been. In my most spontaneous of nature foot-trafficking, in roulette walk; my spin of gun chamber click-- ant, spider, beetle, and the occasional sighing snail had fled my shadow shoe? As slow drift clouds in a sky game would play with the sun to hide—creatures had sought me out, sung their farewells?  (it was an excellent day to die) Let me tell it, as it had happened today, and truth says how. My feet, they had gotten to waltz-walking. O how my body and soul danced a-fancy free. Love was brimming out of me; happiness whispered her wordless name; and my tongue tripped nonsensical. So if, at last, you've kept a-pace with me in sympathetic striding, then perhaps you would surmise: there never could be a flat-footed me, when I spout off with poem-talking. Now, what’s your take on walking?

A generation navigating illusionment: I am one. Excavation; i sift. Shaking a plastic basket. Round - and channel mouths spout a wire crosshatch. I Tap Against My palm. Fine flour lands on the counter and In my head I listen to the same songs because I already know the words. I look for a truth outside my mind because on weekdays I tell myself I’m not worth knowing. How do you stop hating yourself When you hate yourself because You hate yourself? When I slide my hand across the counter, White flour mist puffs and I listen: Mac Miller’s alive. He said he’s surviving on ***** almonds, and granola bars. Grasped in some five fingers A thin red handle.

Where do you think you're going ***** Stop, I need to tell you some things which, May break your pretty silicon heart, So buckle yourself up, I'm about to start. You think that with your haughty smile, You're better than all of us by a mile, Sad to shatter your fantasy world, Now it's time to watch reality unfurl. My beauty and strength make your toes curl, My unbreakable spirit makes you want to hurl, You can crush me beneath your six-foot frame, But just know that there'll never be any shame. Honoured to be the topic of your day, The highlight of the **** you say, I'm sneezing from the stench, my eyelids they twitch, The rumours you spout, make my ears itch. Unhappy to see my smiling face? Do your eyes burn, to behold my grace? Exit to the left right out of my life, Before I come after you with a ten-inch knife.

Dear *****
I was molded by his own hand sculpted to perfection and eager to please who else other than my husband for without Adam, there is no Eve at least, that was before he slithered into our perfect life pounding our perfect garden into the ground with his slick feet conniving and a brute, he convinced me to take a bite and share my fruit with man for what is mine is his my knowledge is his I am his together we ate snacking and licking our fingers with glee wiping the secretions of the fruit of mankind against the tree we tore it from until our Paradise's pastures declined the wildflowers overtrodded with weeds the singing waterfall vanished only to be replaced by an evil, magmatic spout and our tree, our once bountiful, glorious, fruitful tree decayed from the inside out Adam's burning glare rotted my fruit and my seeds until they and I dropped to the burning embers on the ground like nicks off of a pebble that was thrown too hard or like hairs from the back of a matted mother cat that has spent far too many heatless winters hunting for a different life, for any life with no more than a curse from Him, I became the failed experiment of humanity tossed into God's own graveyard left to rot with my stolen seed

god's junkyard
Breathe not, hid Heart: cease silently, And though thy birth-hour beckons thee, Sleep the long sleep: The Doomsters heap Travails and teens around us here, And Time-Wraiths turn our songsingings to fear. Hark, how the peoples surge and sigh, And laughters fail, and greetings die; Hopes dwindle; yea, Faiths waste away, Affections and enthusiasms numb: Thou canst not mend these things if thou dost come. Had I the ear of wombed souls Ere their terrestrial chart unrolls, And thou wert free To cease, or be, Then would I tell thee all I know, And put it to thee: Wilt thou take Life so? Vain vow! No hint of mine may hence To theeward fly: to thy locked sense Explain none can Life’s pending plan: Thou wilt thy ignorant entry make Though skies spout fire and blood and nations quake. Fain would I, dear, find some shut plot Of earth’s wide wold for thee, where not One tear, one qualm, Should break the calm. But I am weak as thou and bare; No man can change the common lot to rare. Must come and bide. And such are we— Unreasoning, sanguine, visionary— That I can hope Health, love, friends, scope In full for thee; can dream thou’lt find Joys seldom yet attained by humankind!

To An Unborn Pauper Child
What is artistic expression how do put my soul on a page How do I stroke my aura’s color if I can’t see it   How do paint my humor and intentions How do I draw my unbalanced chakras back to balanced and write the energies surging through channels How do I chalk out my thought process when I am reminded of you Walkie talkies hidden ontop my chalkie chakra blocked like telephone lines hit by drunk drivers or blackouts during storms Sunshine burning mustard seething weekend breeding burnouts coming out of retirement like My soul color bleeding rainbows with big blocks of grey in between Needing the contrast Needing the depth and blurred complications the world is not black and white we all bleed the same rainbow sparks into the same riverbeds breathing and exhaling with the time ticks of our existence of light reflected on the glitter trickled surface of the vibrations of our soul speaks ricocheting through galaxies for eternity. Can’t phrase anything right In come spiraling thoughts stories of me stories of we can’t help but trip I fall into thee mother Luna romanticizing the waves of the sea you rub my jaw with your hipster b Crown king we’re being free We’re trying queen Forgot the beauty in the cold Blackened hearts should walk boldly Frozen on mountaintops trying to keep our souls warm Broken and torn plastic bag in the wind escaping entities that block their flow Exhausted on faking Keep breaking from trying to make it Ain’t no fun to be around I keep all my words in my mouth The devils got my tongue I’m feeling numb All my existence is to *** I can’t get up out of the ******* ground Years go by I’m not feeling myself Tears come out of me like a leaking spout No drugs can bother me My head belongs in the clouds
