"stiches" poems
miles mean nothing to a heart that is pure words penned in grace, sent to ether give heartease to the overstretched sowing stiches of understanding in tapestry threadbare little suns and stars shining bright in love and hope from face unseen and adirondack chair gives strength to one down, from down under allows grief, the words needed the abilty to care for these simple gifts, no payment required from the heart open to care...

miles mean nothing
The trick is that you have to let her know she’s holding the strings You can’t play hard to get You have to give your all, leave your wounds open for the salt to be poured in Cause that’s what it’s all about! It’s about being defenseless with that one person, Letting them crawl under your skin Cause if it’s true, they’ll be the first to pull out the first aid kit And you may think that letting them hold your strings is a wicked thing But in the end, Those strings that they’re holding.. Are the stiches they use to pull you back together

Puppet II
Be still. The words I thought of when you were ill. I prayed with you every night, then God let me feel your heartbeat. Time was collecting your bloodflow. Heartbeat. Repeat, repeating the pain I felt that day when cousin' came in and said,"God took your mother up today."I was nine years old. You died about two weeks before my birthday. All I got was, packed up cardboard boxes with scotched taped ribbon that glistened in the sun as we made room for it in storage. Stored heartbeats. No one could take your place. The sad thing is I barely remember your face. Chemo. You had to take all those tests, and in the end they still cut off your left breast. Heartbeat. Time finally took your breath. Time ended our time. Why was it that after you died the doctor's found a cure to this genocide? I wish you were still here by my side. I was your baby. I asked the doctor if you were going to live, and all I got was, "maybe." Maybe you might come back someday. You used to appear all the time but then you drifted away. Heartbeat. I saw you laying in red. That red that, filled my eyes with hopelessness. I wished that red were still hanging in your closet in the dry cleaners bag, and the your aroma were in the stiches. After 7 years, I still can't believe you're dead. Even though you're not here, I think about you everydat. I ask a question that every child asks. "Why did God take my mother away?" Heartbeat. Time has finished this poem.

Heartbeat
She gives him his eyes, she found them Among some rubble, among some beetles He gives her her skin He just seemed to pull it down out of the air and lay it over her She weeps with fearfulness and astonishment She has found his hands for him, and fitted them freshly at the wrists They are amazed at themselves, they go feeling all over her He has assembled her spine, he cleaned each piece carefully And sets them in perfect order A superhuman puzzle but he is inspired She leans back twisting this way and that, using it and laughing Incredulous Now she has brought his feet, she is connecting them So that his whole body lights up And he has fashioned her new hips With all fittings complete and with newly wound coils, all shiningly oiled He is polishing every part, he himself can hardly believe it They keep taking each other to the sun, they find they can easily To test each new thing at each new step And now she smoothes over him the plates of his skull So that the joints are invisible And now he connects her throat, her ******* and the pit of her stomach With a single wire She gives him his teeth, tying the the roots to the centrepin of his body He sets the little circlets on her fingertips She stiches his body here and there with steely purple silk He oils the delicate cogs of her mouth She inlays with deep cut scrolls the nape of his neck He sinks into place the inside of her thighs So, gasping with joy, with cries of wonderment Like two gods of mud Sprawling in the dirt, but with infinite care They bring each other to perfection.

Wilted flower, ageless in A time of frailty, never wishing For her glow to fade, but Every flower wilts over time. She was weak in sympathy Seeing everyone though her Outer shell was, of ill taste, Souring there eyes. So those of younger skin she Spat upon in hated gestures, Until she could not see beauty, Only those having what had Faded upon her over time. She was a seamstress of cloth, Fashion was in her eyes, beauty For beauty now all was bland As her image tainted, She was Upon a plan. She would take beauty from those Unworthy souls, who abused the Gift for it should be collected, Harvested, so began her crime. The first was a nose, cut off still Breathing jagged edges ruined. She slashed upon beauty as stillness Settled in there eyes. Like a canvass Now ruined, ugly in her sight, Discarded in to the river the fishes Feasting upon her crime. She harvested, parts each dead for moments but stillness brought precision, each  flawless gem, with Precise loops each part fell in to place. She only needed one more ,the lips So delicate, so fragile. She carved So many kisses from the bodies, But never the correct, impatient She became, enraged with failures. Her moments of rage, became news. "The patch work doll" "The seamstress of beauty" She liked this name for beauty Was a puzzle that she stitched Together to hide the ugly inside. Then upon those fated moments, "Excuse me do you know the" Her mind forgot to listen, transfixed Upon those ruby gems, Yes ill Show you the way. "Thank you mam" Ill fated beauty, single breathes to Take. These where her jewels of Her crown as each most delicately Removed, stored so not to break. The patchwork was finished, **hideous Monstrosity** of flesh dead, but she Revelled upon her creation. Missing The point that she was only faded inside. She wore this mask, **the seamstress of Beauty** now wore the blood of others Upon her face, each was a life taken For this moment in the mirror, she Looked upon in happiness, in joy Of others pain, but the moment faded. All she saw was others, her beauty hidden Upon the stiches of others face, she Couldn't see herself only the faces of Each life she did take. The lips moved Spoken words upon this face, you want This beauty take it cut it with the knife. She cut upon this mask, deep cuts Upon her own self, the mask fell To the floor, spare parts of meat. She cut around, bleeding down Kissing the floor as it fell. Till she Stood there, her skin, meat upon The floor. Those final moments the seamstress Saw she was beautiful, that it was Underneath that was what she had Missed, so much beauty spilled for What, as she ran screaming towards The window. Like a mirror shattering shards Showing her a reflection of the beauty She had become, she was the seamstress Of many faces but know only one Face hits upon the unforgiving ground.

At high noon the Witch will be burned at the stake! we will see heads turn, hips bend, limbs break! we will watch as the coarse flame is reflected in her eyes! we will show no mercy as she dances and writhes! She gets what she deserves, this evil-doing trickster even now as her lips boil and her skin begins to blister she slipped to our children a candied liquid elixir it made them delirious, it ****** with their minds now they've formed an army and are coming up from behind They mean to save her, these once-innocent children we only had about twenty now they number one million The fire burns through her chest, blouse and britches we even hired the court's jester to keep us all in stiches Let the fire burn free, give it no restrictions for today we burn a Witch with the purest of intentions but what exactly what her crime was I believe I've failed to mention She ordered us to think, for ourselves one and all and now at death's brink, out to the devil she doth call She shouts at him with pleasure as her black heart succumbs to flame He approaches at his leisure, he's no amateur at this game He gathers her from the post, right before she dies he tastes the flesh of roast, feasting on his prize right before he left, he peeled off both her eyelids and flicked them to the crowd, we devoured them in silence.

Hey there little puppet girl, Sowing at your broken heart, Puppeteer can’t pay his bill, While you just fall apart, Hey there little puppet girl, I bet you where once new, But now your cloth begins to furl, And that heart of yours is two, I see your dusty rags, And patches of different cloths, Your mouth it sags, And you’ve been nibbled by moths, Hey there little puppet girl, Puppeteer he neglects you, Once kept you shiny-now keeps you dull, Puppeteer he forgets you, But I see you reaching out, Begging for his touch, Mouths sown shut can’t shout, And only one button eye can watch, Hey there little puppet girl, I know that you can’t cry, But you reek of lost will, And a need you can’t gratify, Hey there little puppet girl, I bet you where once new, But now your cloth begins to furl, And that heart of yours is two, I see you little puppet girl, Ripping at your stiches, You’re no longer rational, Your mind is specious, Hey there little puppet girl, Ripped to little pieces, Puppeteers little pearl, Your value he decreased it.

Little Puppet Girl
We've been having such a good time out here lately chasing chasing chasing this summer to the end of its life, and it's about time we took half a handful of something decent to calm our nerves, breathe slow in and out just like we practiced when the stars hid their faces and we decided the nights were getting short and we'd better hide ours, too. and I know our brains will always be a little bit hardwired for self destruction, but before you go digging around again in old scraps searching for new ways to place blame, new ways to fit our shoulders with damage & **** counts, take this down off the shelf take a deep breath and hand me the blueprints. Sometimes I trip over my tongue when I speak, sometimes I forget and just mumble instead, and sometimes I tear out stiches too early sometimes I don't get what I want and I blame myself hate myself for thinking that we all have to come to terms with our own versions of crash-and-burn fairytales, but isn't that the truth of it all? If this brutal reality doesn't shake us and stir the dust from our bones, nothing will; no morning or afterlife can save us until we stop sharpening our teeth and put down our steel blades nothing is made forever, but forever is made up of a lot of nothings, the way we stir the *** on our bad (or good) days is only one of them; the way we tell ourselves we aren't important is a lie don't whisper this into my ears at dusk, scream it into the sky scream it into the palms of your hands until you can't breathe anymore, it has never been better, it has never been worse   work your desires into your DNA coding detonate what's left in your system (start over again) I'm finding new ways to stand still on this high balancing beam new rituals and new ways to throw my hat off to you, give credit where credit is due I only hope that when it's said and done and I'm on my way out I'll know half of what I do right now, feel it surging in my headrush & in the burn of my fingers I hope I'll know on my way out the door: Nothing has ever been better and nothing has ever been worse.

finite rapture well defined. organized organelles squirming. spurning unnecessary imposition. repitition severing me further. it's still a bright fixture on the horizon viewed at the far end of winding tunnel of mirrors. captured in a jar. admired ideas appreciated from afar. trembling extended hand retracted. strong stiches binding. scabs still crusty. musty attics, shuffling feet. melting. swelltering in the possibility of a potential interpreted properly. I work better as an idea than a human. compose the tune and I'll be the words. transpose your soul, I'll be the vibrations. speak between the lines. I will be blinded. Beyond thought. we are aware that we're unaware. Crystalize. Mezmerize. It could be so simple. To notice the cheeks, but not the dimples. Four perfect points of light linger in the shadows two by two Ideals. a concrete truth. Glaciers slowly crack foundations. Pounding. Pouding. Resounding. Cannot be ignored before I am the boomerang that cracks you on the head. Blood pooling at the base of my skull control watered down. Concrete giving into stress and a flower has room to bloom/

Behind the Scenes in the Trampled Night-Garden of Speculation
A mother who listens to soft classical Mozart Reclined against the soft, worn pillow from ages slender fingers easily flicking through a catalog, while a father is hunched over in the cold den, racked with coughs and pains, trembling fingers trying to hold on to the metallic foil of medicine. And a child, barely 4 playing with stuffed animals on the couch a victim of Tay Sach A car, and a windowpane, that have both seen too much, ragged advertisements fluttering in the wind, advertising a movie coming out yesterday, A burger shop ad that had already long closed, and deals long gone. The downtown urban forest, turned into a junkyard full of scraps of rusted silver and infected bronze. A bystander who can do nothing but laugh as a boy's nose gets crushed in, a ****** lip, A swollen, purple eye A boy of 18 who is still waiting for her somewhere to see her colored smile and eyes of glass bitter and emotionless, glazed over with sterling silver, who has a family, siblings, who is now turned into nothing but a ragged playtoy for the sick, sick entertainment of others A broken air conditioner that can do nothing but clack clack clack over and over again, metal blades spinning vainly for nothing, while a broken family is screaming in the other room, and a child is crying, hands to his face, covering his eyes as a father hits his wife, knocks her against the sharp, tiled kitchen counter, and the screaming intensifies, accompied by the hurtful insults that are thrown at each other-by the father and the teen. and still the air conditioner goes on and on oblivious to nothing. A world that is so breathtaking and cruel at the same time where little, insignificant families are torn apart without a second thought, where the 'strong' prey on the 'weak' Where the most beautiful sprawling cities turn into rejected second handers just because of a rumor And, A mother who listens to soft classical Mozart Reclined against the soft, worn pillow from ages, ages ago full of tears and stiches slender fingers easily flicking through a catalog, searching for the most effective medicine, eyes flickering in worry while a father is hunched over in the cold den because he doesn't want to risk spreading his sickness to anyone else racked with coughs and pains, trembling fingers trying to hold on to the metallic foil of medicine. Working hard to support his family because the economy is going down again And a child, barely 4 playing with stuffed animals on the couch a victim of Tay Sach, dead at 6.

Malleable emotions born to a broken hearted teddy bear Teddy's stitches stretch with age The clock on the wall becomes his countdown As time moves forward, Teddy is forced to watch children's attentions pull back The rocking horse asked Teddy what he thought about the children rudely leaving them to gather dust Teddy just smiled His beaded eyes glimmering through the windows sunset, a few stickers to block the rays Teddy knew the children were moving on to better things Because if the world shoved them down Teddy would be there to soften the blow

Should there ever be a backward twirling of the clock gears, a paisley maze of metal and magic to occur, every tear will trace back to its watery scars. Even the ropes shackling hearts will fray, shackles broken. Bits and crumbs of dim memories become whole again. Just as sweet. And perhaps, the bad will seep back in. The dead will open their eyes again. Roughly stiched in wounds so long ago, where even the owner has forgotten to hem back up the stiches to the surface. The white cotton thread would have never met the needle's eye. A baby's nursery room may gather more dust than expected.

***I can't beleive how badly I am hurt I cant belive how sore my wonds are.   Why did you have to stab me so deep?   I need someone to heal these cuts. I'm going under the water   but I know that I can swim my way   out of the water.   Your not my lover any more if   your killing me. You watched me bleed until I passed out,   you put me on my knees   when I was passed out   you left me all alone so I will be needing stiches cause i wont be able to get   any of your kisses.   You tripped over me as you walked away so now I   will be needing stiches I was the moth that was drawn to your flame You brought me in and I couldnt feel any pain,   your heart is to cold to love.   I am left seeing my blood on my own. I'm going under the water   but I know that I can swim my way out of the water.   Your not my lover any more if   your killing me. You watched me bleed until I passed out,   you put me on my knees when I was passed out   you left me all alone so I will be needing stiches cause i wont be able to get   any of your kisses. You tripped over me as you walked away so now I   will be needing stiches Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head Needle and the thread   Gonna wind up dead Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head Needle and the thread   Gonna wind up dead Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head Needle and the thread   Gonna wind up dead Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head You watched me bleed until I passed out, you put me on my knees   when I was passed out   you left me all alone so I will be needing stiches cause i wont be able to get   any of your kisses.

Stiches
***I can't beleive how badly I am hurt I cant belive how sore my wonds are.   Why did you have to stab me so deep?   I need someone to heal these cuts. I'm going under the water   but I know that I can swim my way   out of the water.   Your not my lover any more if   your killing me. You watched me bleed until I passed out,   you put me on my knees   when I was passed out   you left me all alone so I will be needing stiches cause i wont be able to get   any of your kisses.   You tripped over me as you walked away so now I   will be needing stiches I was the moth that was drawn to your flame You brought me in and I couldnt feel any pain,   your heart is to cold to love.   I am left seeing my blood on my own. I'm going under the water   but I know that I can swim my way out of the water.   Your not my lover any more if   your killing me. You watched me bleed until I passed out,   you put me on my knees when I was passed out   you left me all alone so I will be needing stiches cause i wont be able to get   any of your kisses. You tripped over me as you walked away so now I   will be needing stiches Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head Needle and the thread   Gonna wind up dead Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head Needle and the thread   Gonna wind up dead Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head Needle and the thread   Gonna wind up dead Needle and the thread   Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head You watched me bleed until I passed out, you put me on my knees   when I was passed out   you left me all alone so I will be needing stiches cause i wont be able to get   any of your kisses. You tripped over me as you walked away so now I   will be needing stiches***

We are human Walking traumas Left untreated Open wounds Being leeched To treat The wrong fever It is incongruous Being inoculated Against the wrong disease Vaccinated with apathy So we don’t feel The sores that bleed But you have to laugh We are mortal Not merely men Nor women More like All the things Around and in-between Searching Sub-consciously For peace Trying to sustain ourselves While losing Everyone else Crying But you have to laugh We are little boxes of flesh Lego people made to fit together Chipped Scratched Lost and found Each stress tearing at our flesh Rending our skin Like a thresher Building internal and external pressure Till we need release ****** and or emotional But you have to laugh Ready to cry Sometimes We are ready to die Till the brain twitches Till the broken switches Leave you in stiches And you see something strange Irony or absurdity Life twisted in its purity On the verge of exploding Not really knowing But something hits Something fits Presses the right button Slapstick Stupidity Intellectual curiosity Sanity flipped on its heels But you have to laugh A chortle a choking gasp The tension breaks The air whooshes past You have no control You have to laugh The world doesn’t change Much The feelings are still there But with each laugh It gets easier to bare It’s a chemical reaction With endorphins and stuff But I don’t think you care It’s just what you needed To fight off the despair So I say it again you have to laugh

You Have To Laugh
I'm the shadow Casted by the sun, Feeling small As the day's begun. I watch people With nameless faces Go places With no destination, No purpose. I watch them with Bruised ribcages And flowers blooming from their arms, Pretending to be a part Of the crowd, Pretending to fit in. Their hearts are shattered to dust, But they fix it With stiches and staples that turned to rust, Pretending all the pieces fit Their shirts are filled With pins and needles, that poke their skin Pretending not to notice The emptiness filling in. But I stay put. My shadow is too small to notice, Too scared to move. My mind is almost as broken as theirs, But my door is fully open, Not pretending.

Nameless faces
We are a wall of lost children. Tiny fingers fixing the broken pieces Of humanities innocence mending her compassion, sewing the stiches of goodwill back into her being. Until goodness can be seen. Till the stars look down flaring with pride to see our brighter side. Children of the cosmos fulfilling our purpose.

Unraveling the threads Of my tangled, sticky lies, Tearing the delicate cloth Of my fragile, broken life. One by one, The stiches pop out Exposing the wounds That they know nothing about. A single salty tear Trickles down my face As a single crimson drop of blood Is dripping from my wrist. This cruel and viscious cyle Will never have and end As my sanity unravels, Alone and with out friends.

I have known pain In every form All too well My box of memories is filled to the rim with moments so vivid That if I close my eyes I can almost taste the blood between my teeth Pain has been Someone I have turned to When emotion has defeated feeling Sometimes just a pinch of the skin To remind myself That I am real That this Is real Pain is an alarm clock ringing Begging us to wake up In a world full of dreamers Who just cant seem to face reality Without pain Without the sandpaper glued to our palms Life would slip right through our fingers Pain is attached to every year of my life Marking the moments that mattered most From ages where seconds of happiness seem blurred And mostly pain is remembered Age 4 Chin shattering against the kitchen floor Skin and bone to hardwood When a game of horsey with my older brother Goes too far Stiches sewing me back into place I can still taste the melted twix bar that I was given For being such a good patient Age 7 Scrapes from falling off the bicycle Were enough to get me to stop trying Needless to say I never learned how Age 12 Words thrown at me like razor blades in the school cafeteria Hurt enough for me To use them against myself In fits of aching rage My body refuses to let me forget Age 15 Watching my father Sick from chemotherapy Hunched over in agony Hair falling to the ground like the ashes of cancer victims Watching him suffer Hurt more than any broken bone Than Any paper cut Scratch to the surface The worst kind of pain I've learned Is the kind that can not be erased from memory With a rub to the eyes Is the kind where You are forced to watch Loved ones Experience it Without being able to help Or do anything to ease their discomfort The worst kind of pain Is being witness Is being bystander Pain is more than a bully Pain is a backstabbing neighbor Who pulls a gun to your head just when you think you've got it right Is a ghost A physical form that fades But remains forever alive in memory In the faces of people you've hurt In the scars of skin that forces you to remember what happened What happened Does not define you But the thing about pain Is that whether or not you want it to It shapes you.

Word evaporation Like radiation chemotherapy Dare me to make something intricate Triple threat thread three stiches On the mend On the bend Of your hip to your waist What do they say about haste? What do they say about paste? If only I could remember If only we had skipped December.

December
As they all sat around the camp fire reading to each other poetic rhyme, there were many who would not last the night at camp forward what or who would meet there demise? Sue was writing ***** things  you could see it in her eyes. The others around the camp fire was Brother Newton, Orchidee, & Karen, they were talking philosophy… Bri mar & Grandma were talking rather intensely about meanings of life & religion agreeing to disagree.   Lolly was laughing with Ant, Poetic T & Tadpole about his latest creation in stiches for all to see. Jambo didn’t laugh he just quite abruptly disagreed. It was late, the fire once fierce now red embers could all only see. Good night  Sue said it’s getting late for me, she needed the toilet but full were all three so in to the woods she was shown a good spot to *** As she squatted a bear trap went off cutting Sue in to three. Her scream unheard as only things that go bump in the night could be heard aloud in the trees. Brother Newton went off to sleep only to be awoken as someone carried him off trapped in his sleeping bag was he, In the background Alice cooper could be heard, the man behind the mask as he was violently smashed against the tree. Brother Newton now left as all that could be seen was a red soaked sleeping bag sinking in to the lake near camp never again to be seen. Grandma went off with Orchidee to pray, but as they approached the alter tubular bells could be heard as the cross fell or was it pushed? And nailed under the cross were both. We forgive   they both said as there life left for another less blood soaked place.. To Be Continued

Dancing around these minor obstacles with words That sooths the soul like a body preserved These are my words its just poetry in the making Combinations of words, ingredients for the shaking Passion and desire spirals you to domestic Growth & love w/ understanding goes viral from a prospective Hello Poetry take where nobodies ever been* Inside the mind of the confined translated through my pen Using my paper as the canvas creating a work of art Turned my world upside down playing the ace of hearts Always show that spark, Poetry it's been known to bark That's what it's made for, but also mending hearts Sewing up the pain until the stiches part Both sides falling for love from the cupid arch Sweet melodies flowing from the cupid harp Hello poetry and its on the mark *Together as one before the wish bone ****** Upon breaking I wished about us Hello Poetry forever will you flow with me* Relationship is mutual united and its knowingly
