who knew that in about 4 years time, or maybe 10,000 years lost in 10,000 multi hued tears, id be on the same trip- dancing to the same shimmering inner grove as before- braiding fresh cut flowers- delicate genital-hands, unfolding in prayer into my subconscious mind or perhaps into my hair- saving colored prism fragments of knowledge or nonsense- digesting intoxicating incense smoke into the deep throated green streaked laughter chasms that are my lungs- spinning vinyl, spun mind unwinding, undulating through string music- contemplating the sunset's sweet immaculate form, reoccuring and balancing itself right outside my window- dressing in shells, bones, and beads; kaleidoscope fabric dripping from the ******* like mother Kali in a Fellini flick- peeping out at heads slinking down the ****** pavement streets- my hairy angelic form grooving intensely, spastic- body flung, strung out in hot patterns of mirrored arms and legs- brain brew bubbling; wicked, fantastic- limbs waving and grabbing at tangible tasty morsels, smelling strongly of indigo and patchouli- the East smiling on me and my intrepid journey to the ocean city- head thrown back in tranquil madness- pipe smoke curling like ancient hound howls from the corners of my lips- smiles spread like insanity, a wicked disease lost in the forgotten finger painted confounds of creamy ****** milk consciousness- basking in lamplight of the golden glistening Now.

girl-child flashback
Disappointment is thrown strongly at my direction. Blame gathers in large quantities like a pest infestation. "It's your fault" and words like "You always make mistakes" evoke anger. Anger which I want to take out on myself and take out on others. I can excel in my work of choice, I know I'm more than average. The bad gets pointed out more and little praise is given for the good. Stunned by unmoving words. I'm like a prisoner sentenced to jail, released and expected to do worse. Destruction emerges from my enraged emotions, i wish your words could offer a solution. I want to be an alchemist and turn things into gold. It's ironic how I am a creator of words but cant create better words in my critics. Conversations lead to arguments because i want to be heard. I'm sick of revolving doors, sick of being slammed by your atrocious comments. "You have no common sense" you say to me, maybe I just prefer to be in a daydream, my mind drifting away because life is too dull. Realize that what you say has an effect and that effect can drive somebody or stop them in motion.

Misunderstood 6/21/2014
Its my body, my money, its up to me what I do with it. But everyone else is wearing it. I cant help the way I feel. Blonde Red Orange Brown Purple DMs purple with pink laces school skirt altered in the textile lab 3" shorter hormones racing, zipping, vibrating, fizzing till the top pops stairs made for stomping and storming cackling laughter crackling down the telephone wire clothes left on the bedroom floor abandoned for a girl crisis. You cant read my mind read my lips read my body read my journal sandwiched between the midriff covering cottons gran bought for Christmas and the skimpy lace thong I'd be grounded for buying Mother's mattress sanitary towels tossed aside for shamefully purchased tampons instructions included and time has passed and masks have fallen and I find you there in the muck and the mire and dust you off until I see your face - all mothers lipstick and glittering pink eye shadow and the smile that stores secrets in a treasure chest. Your legs shake like Bambi's but you get to your feet and nestle yourself into me warmly, strongly until you fall right into me and you run and you run and you run and you run and you run right through my veins giggles throbbing through my pulse pajama parties and homemade perfume radiating in my eyes and there you are and there I am.

A 'Girly' Girl
The overripe mango that sits promptly on my desk stares at me through its one eye, indignantly asking to be eaten – before it goes bad. I consider, strongly, the mango’s proposition. Contemplating the level of hunger, or desire I have for this demanding piece of fruit. It may be that the latte I just finished burnt off any remaining taste buds I have, or it may be that I find something amusing about holding a mango hostage of its pride – but I just can’t eat it. A once firm, confident specimen edging ever closer to becoming a wrinkly, seeping, sack of rotten juice. Knowingly, I chain it to its fate by refusing to slice the skin back and swallow its sweetness. It demands to be mutilated rather than aged. As I sit here writing of my hostage, it continues to stare through its eye – spiting me. Cursing me with future putrid fruit, with worms in my apples, and with brown bananas. Oh, how I hate brown bananas. This mango has learnt well in the time it’s spent in my room, it knows my weaknesses. I always knew that fruit had character, but this mango – I tell you, it’s something else.

The overripe Mango
Dear beautiful evergreen rooted down in the field strongly upholding itself like it has an impenetrable shield The one that has experienced blazing summers and freezing winters not only seen warfare but watched it from the center winds blew it west and east but it never went left or right had blood on its leaves but never got into a fight Dear beautiful evergreen That stands there all yearlong keep your roots rooted and continue to be strong

Beautiful Evergreen
Hark! Take heed, for this cake be both mighty and magnificent! 1.75 cups flour 2 cups white sugar 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. salt 2 eggs 1 cup (as in 8 fl.oz/250mL.) strongly brewed coffee (make more and drink it!) 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 tbs. white vinegar+1 cup milk mixed well, blah blah) 0.5 cups cocoanut oil (or 0.33 cups basicallywhatever oil), a little less if *** 1 tsp. vanilla extract OPTIONAL: 2-3 shots (60-90mL; 0.2-0.33 cups) black spiced *** (Kraken, if at all possible) I also want to experiment with whiskey/burbon.. if you try it, let me know! --Flour, sugar cocoa powder, baking soda+powder, salt mixed in one bowl -- eggs, coffee, *** buttermilk, oil, vanilla in another Slowly mix the dry into the wet until as homogenous as possible. I use an 8"x8" (20cmx20cm) pan @350F (175 C) for about 40 minutes, but I check on it at round 30 minutes because some variance may well apply. If you use olive oil, or avocado oil, or whatever other more fluid oil, I find a slightly hotter oven (375 F/190 C) can be advisable, but pay attention to your specific scenario! The worst that's happened for me is the top gets a bit crusty, but that pleasantly works with the overall moisture of the cake, especially with olive oil and the *** addition. Do the toothpick test to see if it's ready! Frosting is applicable, as well, because this Magical Cake is not horribly sweet for how horribly sweet it sure is. I usually just sprinkle some confectioner's sugar on it to make it look all fancy for my classy friends and band-mates. ENJOY! Bake responsibly, but have some fun. Also, suffer the decimals!

Friendship is like A diapole diapole interaction Two different Entities Positive and negative Attracted to each other Best friendship Is like a hydrogen bond Still a diapole diapole but stronger Only possible in the presence of A hydrogen Someone in the relationship Able to keep it afloat A London dispersion Force Is like a pleasant acquaintance Someone you get along with But no strong emotional ties To hold you there Just Small talk An ion diapole bond Is like A difficult relationship Opposites attract But you’re bonded So strongly ... That eventually one Of you just starts To tear the other apart Like salt in water

i wonder if you've made love the way you make love to me i wonder if every word spoken in black and white was prepared and practiced and written ahead of our time i wonder if your love for me shall fade upon the darkening of the lillies when the seasons change so be it if you will but i'd rather remain alone this beating box in my chest has become but a cold center of a core for every man to lay his hand softly upon my right cheek only to slap the left for every man to say he has never loved never wanted never desired anyone as strongly as i only to feel the same for her too a good woman is always scorned there's always a past to be ridden so all the while you dream of me coming i'll be dreaming of running away

Today I told someone I loved them, and I ment it more than I could ever describe in words. But there was a niggling thought in the back of my head. "It's too soon," it whispered. "You should have waited. It's too soon." People will judge me. They will think I'm foolish. But who is anyone else to tell me about how I love someone? And since when does falling in love have a set rules? Why should I let society decide that my love isn't real, because they don't belive someone can feel this strongly for somone so soon? It took me eight months to say it to my X. And I can honestly say that feeling was like a drop in the ocean, compared to how I feel now. So yes you can say it's too soon. Frankly I don't give a ****

The farmers are doing it tough Tough, it is hard to understand Why they give money to the farmers and when it comes to helping the homeless they don’t give a **** You see people give all the money to protect the farmers And they don’t want to help the homeless The homeless need more money They are sleeping rough rain hail or shine and if we don’t get rain the farmers want to be helped, mind you the food comes from there and you know what Australians think of Aussie grown and we must sort of think of that but the homeless are swept under the rug by Australians when they ask for a few simple dollars and they get nothing, and you never see a telethon on television for them But you see the formers get the nod, well I suppose farmers are having a tough time but they have a home at night to go to While the homeless have nothing Sorry, I feel strongly about helping homeless people through tough times and I am just saying my piece

“What do you think The bravest drink Under the sky?” “Strong beer,” said I. “There’s a place for everything, Everything, anything, There’s a place for everything Where it ought to be: For a chicken, the hen’s wing; For poison, the bee’s sting; For almond-blossom, Spring; A beerhouse for me.” “There’s a prize for every one Every one, any one, There’s a prize for every one, Whoever he may be: Crags for the mountaineer, Flags for the Fusilier, For English poets, beer! Strong beer for me!” “Tell us, now, how and when We may find the bravest men?” “A sure test, an easy test: Those that drink beer are the best, Brown beer strongly brewed, English drink and English food.” Oh, never choose as Gideon chose By the cold well, but rather those Who look on beer when it is brown, Smack their lips and gulp it down. Leave the lads who tamely drink With Gideon by the water brink, But search the benches of the Plough, The Tun, the Sun, the Spotted Cow, For jolly rascal lads who pray, Pewter in hand, at close of day, “Teach me to live that I may fear The grave as little as my beer.”

My heart hurts And so do my eyes And what's left of my brain And my legs ache It is if as I am running from who I am All the time. I love her so much, I cannot even explain how deep My love for her truly is. And I cannot imagine my life without her Because she truly is my light. But I can't help how afraid I am. I am not afraid of our beautiful relationship, But what our relationship might be if Someone-our school and/or parents- we're to find out. I can feel tension and anger and sadness swell up inside of my chest And all I want to do is to protect her. But how can I do that by hiding all of the time? We kissed openly yesterday by the lakefront And my God, I miss the way she looked under that sunset. I miss the way she tasted with that hint of salt in the air. I just miss being hers openly. Sometimes I ask myself and God, why am I gay? Is there no man who will ever perfectly complete me like She does? I honestly think not, she truly feels like the only one Who can know me better than I ever could. And does any mans lips feel any more truer than when her lips Are on mine? Everything about me in this moment is a fire that is burning. I am burning and raging against this door because I'm not sure how much longer I can be contained. I simply cannot live in secrecy but if I ever let this flame out then everything would burn. I love her so much and I simply cannot let this flame go because if I did, all hell would break loose and we would both be put to death in the worst manner possible. I just want to love her the way God meant for it to be, but how can I do that when everyone I've ever loved has told me it is wrong? That it is immoral and disgusting and a sin. I can't believe for a single second that our love could be a sin. Maybe we can't have children and maybe the way we make love is different from the way you do it, but in all honesty, is that what makes a relationship beautiful? I find the way she crinkles her nose to be enough to set a flame in my heart and the way she points her toes when swinging on swings to add to ignition and the way she smiles at me to keep me going forever. I love her so strongly and passionately that maybe I am crazy, but this love can certainly not be immoral. Why would He make me this way? Just to put me in hell? Did Satan indeed win my soul from the moment I was conceived and God just... gave up? No, I cannot believe this for a single second. He loves me and he loves her and he loves us and if you cannot understand how we have maintained this beautiful and loving relationship for so long while staying hidden it is because you do not see the effect that God has on us. I believe that he wants us together, not to eventually cause us pain. I hate lying, and I'm sure God can see it even more easily than my lovely girlfriend does, but maybe He lets me lie because he does not see any other way to let me be with my other half.

Unfaithful, Ungrateful
I can hear the rumble As you're floating above me Through the shattering clouds Across the separating sea I'm waiting here with nothing But my strongly yearning heart Nothins else will matter now Cause we're no longer apart And when I feel your scent I'll probably fall down and die Cause my body will not be able To fit all the joy inside But you give me mouth to mouth And I wont see gloom again Because the taste of your lipse Gives everything a meaning We have plans to go outside But instead we'll just stay home Cause when I finally get to hold you I will never let you go It's been hurting me to love you Since you've been so far away But the life we have ahead of us Will eliminate the pain We'll make each other happy Our love will stay intense We're not the ones we used to be Suddenly , we make sense

Smelly Red Neck I knew a man who was a smelly red neck, this poor fellow was always having a wreck. Two whole teeth and can barely read, drinks his ***** and smokes his **** Blind in one eye, can't see out the other, his sister is also his mother. It's a family filled with ****** born and raised in the southern mid-west. Twelve toes and eight fingers, grandma ***** by a gang of ******* He was mostly white, with a big black ***** Daisy Duke calls him Enos. Hair is red, ***** are blue, when it comes to words, he knows a few. Can't drive a car, can't ride a bike, strongly believes in the Third ***** Dumber than an old door **** never had a god **** job. The laughing stock of the town, underwear is always sticky brown. Has one ear and three ******* even gets picked on by the cripples. Ten feet tall, with an IQ of twenty, gets hard when he sees a penny. Family was killed in a tractor accident, there he sat naked in an over-sized cabinet. Being molested by every perverted predator, started to crack from all the pressure. Grabs a gun and goes out shooting, it's the devils work and he was recruiting. Police came and shot him dead, saying **** he had a big black head.

Smelly Red Neck
“i haven’t seen her in years,” said the hospital bed, “though i’ve seen many others, who sobbed violently like her, who sunk into me like a young, rusting anchor. who could not get comfortable in one position or one mindset or one truth. i have felt them dig in their heels and try to ache and and fight and scream, just quietly enough not to wake their roommate.” “i remember their shapes,” said the hospital bed, “how their voices rose slowly like a far-off ambulance siren, how their faces fell when they remembered the emergency was right here. i have been kicked, punched, clung to, held on to, as if gravity switched suddenly and they feared yet another aspect of the universe was against them. i’ve seen ***** sheets and i’ve seen clean ones. i’ve seen boys with tattoos on their faces and razor marks on their arms. i’ve seen pain. i’ve seen girls who wouldn’t turn off the lights, girls who couldn’t turn off the lights, girls who had turned a light off once and never wanted to do anything else. i’ve seen pain. i’ve felt love before more often than the lovers thought they loved, more strongly than the fighters thought they could fight. in shaky hands folding down blankets more carefully than they have all week in heads that flop ungracefully onto pillows, securely, fulfilled. in the slow turn of a hospital bracelet around a pale wrist, in large, golden brown hands, inspected through tear-blurred eyes, through scratched glasses, picked up off the floor after discovering force won’t carry a ring of thin plastic as far as you thought. i hear change in whispers, good night, good luck, in hushed acceptance, in ‘yes, i really am here’. in screams that send nurses in panic only to find you were laughing. in numbers, in ‘five hundred milligrams,’ in ‘three gained pounds’, in ‘one more day’. i hear shock, i hear fear, in echoes of parents’ voices, ‘why here? why now?’ i have heard and seen and felt all of them. but she,” continued the hospital bed, “hasn’t been in here in a while. i haven’t heard her whisper to her roommate about what she did ‘that night’, i haven’t seen her sneak away from her pile of pajamas as if she didn’t just hide something there, i haven’t heard her empathize with a pencil sharpener. it’s been so long, it’s hard to imagine,” said the hospital bed, ‘i hardly remember her'. if only the hospital bed knew that she could hardly remember herself from then either, if only it knew she hadn't stopped fighting once she left if only it knew how she felt when they said she only needed to go to therapy every other week. it felt like progress, and it felt like hope, and no one better than a hospital bed could understand that.

“i haven’t seen her in years,” said the hospital bed, “though i’ve seen many others, who sobbed violently like her, who sunk into me like a young, rusting anchor. who could not get comfortable in one position or one mindset or one truth. i have felt them dig in their heels and try to ache and and fight and scream, just quietly enough not to wake their roommate.” “i remember their shapes,” said the hospital bed, “how their voices rose slowly like a far-off ambulance siren, how their faces fell when they remembered the emergency was right here. i have been kicked, punched, clung to, held on to, as if gravity switched suddenly and they feared yet another aspect of the universe was against them. i’ve seen ***** sheets and i’ve seen clean ones. i’ve seen boys with tattoos on their faces and razor marks on their arms. i’ve seen pain. i’ve seen girls who wouldn’t turn off the lights, girls who couldn’t turn off the lights, girls who had turned a light off once and never wanted to do anything else. i’ve seen pain. i’ve felt love before more often than the lovers thought they loved, more strongly than the fighters thought they could fight. in shaky hands folding down blankets more carefully than they have all week in heads that flop ungracefully onto pillows, securely, fulfilled. in the slow turn of a hospital bracelet around a pale wrist, in large, golden brown hands, inspected through tear-blurred eyes, through scratched glasses, picked up off the floor after discovering force won’t carry a ring of thin plastic as far as you thought. i hear change in whispers, good night, good luck, in hushed acceptance, in ‘yes, i really am here’. in screams that send nurses in panic only to find you were laughing. in numbers, in ‘five hundred milligrams,’ in ‘three gained pounds’, in ‘one more day’. i hear shock, i hear fear, in echoes of parents’ voices, ‘why here? why now?’ i have heard and seen and felt all of them. but she,” continued the hospital bed, “hasn’t been in here in a while. i haven’t heard her whisper to her roommate about what she did ‘that night’, i haven’t seen her sneak away from her pile of pajamas as if she didn’t just hide something there, i haven’t heard her empathize with a pencil sharpener. it’s been so long, it’s hard to imagine,” said the hospital bed, ‘i hardly remember her'. if only the hospital bed knew that she could hardly remember herself from then either, if only it knew she hadn't stopped fighting once she left if only it knew how she felt when they said she only needed to go to therapy every other week. it felt like progress, and it felt like hope, and no one better than a hospital bed could understand that.

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin' And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree ****** But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him And high office relations in the politics of Maryland Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage And never sat once at the head of the table And didn't even talk to the people at the table Who just cleaned up all the food from the table And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane That sailed through the air and came down through the room Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em And that the ladder of the law has no top and no bottom Stared at the person who killed for no reason Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin' And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears Bury the rag deep in your face For now's the time for your tears

Like an onion, I had layers. And you peeled me away, one at a time. One layer off. You saw my favorites. The food and drinks I crave for. The wall paint I wanted for my room. The perky dresses, nail polish, knee-high boots. And the spot I always prefer to be- on the front seat. One layer off. You saw my hobbies. The words I stitched together. The stars that formed our zodiac sign. The wallclimbing, badminton, volleyball. And the guitar strings that strum our lullaby. One layer off. You saw my dreams. The plane ticket to Paris. The thrill of a bungee jump. The candlelit dinner, fireworks, dancing fountain. And the license as a medical physician. One layer off. You saw my strengths. The smile behind the false judgements. The tears I fought back with pride. The temperance, confidence, adjustments. And the self-love I have strongly magnified. One layer off. You saw my insecurities. The missing dimple on my left cheek. The pimples on my forehead. The bitchface, fierce stare, strict walk. And this prominently thin-but-tall body figure. One layer off. You saw my regrets. The kisses I could have refused. The friends I thought were true. The false assumptions, unmet expectations. And the trust I gave to the wrong person. One layer off. You saw my secrets. The punches I had to take. The bruises I covered with my sleeves. The lies, frustrations, disappointments. And the brokenness suppressed in my memory. The last layer, off. You saw through me. The anxiousness escalating slowly. The exposure feeling uneasy. I felt stripped, explored, unguarded. And in my nakedness - you had to choose: To love or to leave me, For who I really am.

When a boy thinks of a girl– his cheeks don't go red, nor do his pupils dilate but his heart beats as fast as a horse's gallop in race His lips strongly tremble in the midst of conversation his legs that won't settle due to headstrong infatuation her beauty overwhelms him her cold hand warms his heart her gaze,  like Medusa's a romantic work of art his thoughts full of appreciation for whatever form she may have a wonderful mem'ry,  imagination a thought that can't be grasped his thoughts he can't express his mouth he cannot open his words he can't confess but his heart, ť was always broken but all this is not really 'bout when a boy thinks of a girl because in these words you can tell that he had always loved her.

When a boy thinks of a girl
You held me in place with that commanding look writhing under your gaze unable to look away from the piercing sight and afraid to disobey any order If it was uttered from your lips my heart would have soared, stretched, and broken to be praised by your words or tenderly touched with your rough hands I could feel your hand on my neck squeezing slowly until the blood started pounding my pain was your pleasure and your pleasure was my purpose Little did I know that you would be squeezing too strongly the ropes were too tight around my waist the collar choking my neck no amount of clawing would have made you let go so I went limp with my love A submissive gives trust yields to whoever they believe is worthy submitting more than their body but their very essence A dominant is supposed to wield that trust to protect and realize the significance of it not squeeze and suffocate it pretending that lies warrant trust in return I could not have been enough for your demands and you broke the trust I gingerly placed in your hands Take your bonds and pretend to wrap them around someone else my being can take no more of your bruising

Broken Bonds
I Was In Darkness Suffering With Pain When You Came Into My Life With A Ray Of Which Is Meant To Shine I Couldn't Believe My Eyes And What I Was Feeling So I Kept On Asking Myself 'Are You Sure You Are Not Dreaming? ' I Was So Happy To See Things Turn Around But There Raised A Situation Where I Had To Stand My Ground You Might Feel It Was Intentional But Believe Me It Was Purely Circumstantial I Wish You Were Here To See What You Are To Me But Then Again I Can't Just Make You See I Wish You Realize How Much You Are To Me But Then Again I Can't Just Make You Notice All These Might Be A Just A Couple Of Words To You But It Is My Heart Which Is Pouring Out Here All This Might Be Just A Drama To You But This Is My Life That Is On Line Here I Really Don't Know How To Make You Understand When You Are Strongly Fixed That I Will Never Understand But Still I'm Glad I've Fallen For You Because You Are The Best Thing That Happened To Me Nevertheless I Just Want To Let You Know By Saying This That You Are The Unexpected Love Which Swept Me Off My Feet! ! ! ! !
