Mythical Bird, show me your secret Hatch forth from your shell Plumage of orange and scarlet Emerge glorious from whence you dwell Fiery Bird, you must reveal Your astounding, magical ways Where from these lives you steal Forever reincarnating well into your days Aflamed Bird, you must teach How you reinvent yourself anew With no help within reach Without aid, effortlessly you flew Majestic Bird, take me in Blanket me with your wing Listen and acknowledge my sins With all your wisdom and heart could bring Magical Bird, will you impart? What knowledge you keep Only then, I may start To make my way out from the deep Enchanted Bird, you have to help I'm desperate to rise like you **** your head and hear my yelps Of all the things I'm trying to undo Celestial Bird, if only you could know Intricate workings of this unfounded fixation Why I seem to always wallow An eternal target of sorrow's attention Imaginary Bird, will you demonstrate Your amazing fantastical flight Dipping, gliding, in the air you gyrate Aggressive dance with gravity you fight Mystical Bird, won't you display For unworthy eyes, would you give? Seemingly easy, aloft you stay Even when you know you'd die before you'd live Wondrous Bird, oh how perfect you are I am in awe, I am swooning How you become one with the stars Making the best of the short time you're living Secretive Bird, is it time? Reducing yourself down to ashes Ready to absolve your stint of crimes Reborn perfect, free from previous gashes Ensorcelled Bird, please don't retreat Back into your familiar cocoon I'm uncertain if again we'd meet Just afraid I might be gone too soon

Sun to set, to herald the arrival of my moon Prepare my vessel for an odyssey, golden mast and all Best be on my way, best be soon... Done this a hundred times come every nightfall This night, I wish it different, wish it otherwise My head isn't where it's supposed to be Swimming in the clouds, in the star spangled sky Speaking of plans to which the heart would agree Time is now, it's time to finally drift away Let go of all worldly trepidations Hold all unfounded apprehensions at bay Be brave to pursue fantastical notions This journey ahead, I want to immortalise Don't think I'd want to turn back Leave behind the pillow stifled cries With the moon as my guide across an ocean of black *"Close your eyes and just feel the drift Know that the stars are protectively watching Picture your moon; her hands bearing a gift A gift you'd soon receive, after much longing" "Feel the water, like a thousand hands propping you afloat Passing you over to more hands that lay ahead Lurching forward gently, this ethereal boat Rest now upon your giant floating bed"* I took that leap of faith... I'm sailing Cresting and bobbing towards my moon I hear the stars for they are singing Lulling me by with a celestial tune On my way, now on this nighttime adventure Don't think I'll ever look back Together this night would span forever Floating endlessly in a sea of black

Journey
As the violet of day draws to a close...           Witnessed the dwindling vermillion sun,              being swallowed   by the horizon. Ever so slowly,        seconds stretched...       This moment here... Captured...       and                 froze.             Brushing off the indigos     and                 blues.           of the past,             Whilst I shed these scarlet tears. Burdened with               unfounded speculation and fears.         Gifted the         lease of bravery but I know...         it wouldn't last.       A final skirmish             between                           night and light.             My crimson wings     spread to greet the.         green evening air.             Feather and wind.             spoke to each other;       quivered as if               the same story         they shared.           A conversation                   that ended quickly before both took               flight.                         To the                         highest heavens, leaving a           trail of leaves from days of yellow...           Flying past the                  blushing orange cheeks   of                         sleeping clouds.              Evading the beckoning of                           night's curtains and             shrouds.       Into the sun, I would go.                 Beyond world's end,            I would follow... To find you                   where the universe                       would run its course.                       I'd gladly soar through        spectrum's grain, Through               unfamiliar realms and                                 warped new planes. Why?           Because       blood red   rubies           pump             through mine and                 garnets           flow                     through yours...

Happenstance to the melancholic gives leave the sin of pride. Inbound reconnaissance tells not the bearer of influence. Squeamish at first: a foreshadowing of calamitous bonding. A space between the mark of corporeal and the ethereal; a stringent hiatus That which rattles the concrete foundation of morality is scarcely a malleable recourse. Regret stains the unfounded soul: an enigma of ephemeral perforations. A separation of the unmitigated humanities; misandry topples the writhing snake. Impact; a cleansing of the maker's flaws integrated solemnly. Complacency arrests the administration of the abhorred; unbridled is the autonomy of a guru.   Ambivalent giftedness burdens the reliant and haughty. A flick of the tongue brings forth the cinema mortem. Castaway: alone to wade in the sea of obscenities. A temporal causality allows no mourning to abscond. Negligence is not the enemy, but indulgent wrath. Hesitant: a stroke of qualia begets the end of a maiden.

The Horseless Jockey
Short sidedness, blistering thoughts; selfish predisposition: What a world! Hypocritical claims about profound lack of wisdom and fear of loneliness; Deeply ironic statements about some lust to be alone that you felt as you ****** Your words seem well chosen and articulated, and perhaps in time will become true; but it seems to me that they right now are as hollow and transient as the space between your actions, logic, and resolve: I've found very little that can make me stop to laugh and cry all at once, perhaps a few pieces of Beethoven's music and some really ******* good metal; but you sit atop that short list on your rather gorgeous and elegant hubristic throne, mocking the progress I've made, oozing with scorn and spite: You have so much to learn before you will be regarded as you like to assume you are: "Responsible"; word around the campfire is: hardly. "Honest"; perhaps in words, but apparently not actions. "Mature"; physically, it seems, but mentally? Not so much. "Respectful"; only to yourself, and seemingly not even that. I tried to help, and clearly failed. If it were a test, you cheated; didn't bother to see how it could've been, but hey: at least you were honest. At least you told the Truth, though your actions were untrue. I thought I loved you; I thought I needed you. Perhaps I did, but it has run it's course: you killed it on purpose. I suppose it served it's purpose to you; that I have served my purpose to you. I detach myself from you, and from myself, in the process, and in the process, I fall in love with those aspects of myself I so seek in others: Darkness; honesty. Honor. Intellect. Humour. Creativity, balance. Respect. A level of elegance, but an amount of **** it"; Mental maturity, to an extent. A moderate badass. A **** badass. Though, it seems, the path to Heaven is paved with good intentions, and is built with the bones of the hopeful, and is illuminated by unfounded faith in ****** ******* people: A mandala of Irony.

breathing down my neck smelling like axe and testosterone a mixture of callouses on my baby doll hands and the sun's reflections through dusty windows on a winter day I know that my actions are erroneous stained with reluctance the windows in my old church scream at me for the reluctance I stopped believing in god when I realized it spells dog backwards.  or was it when I was 13 and realized I would make 75 cents to every dollar. my unfounded reasoning for running substantiated only by my astrological sign which I reluctantly believe on days where I need a hiatus from the dirt in between my toes SCORPIO it plays hard to get but astrology spells dog backwards too I should've said yes to the axe smelling boy

reluctance
did it work? I give a useless tug on my skin, done to reassure me instead it reaffirms to me: I am, again, inconsolable. is the mask I wear today sealed on tight? too tight? does it hurt to pretend so much? does it seem clear to anyone else that there are loose ends I've yet to tend to? backdoors I've overlooked? transparencies?    can they see through me? I bare my teeth. canines, canines from the days of carnivores. am I that carnivore? in my genes I am. and in practice? inconsolable, uncontrollable barely a threat in her form. this question comes to me under many guises: an old man asking me: are you that of practice or are you that of genes? a professor lecturing: are you that of cultivated identity or that of inherited form? my concerned friends crying: who are you? is your mask anything like you? and then i wake. it's a terror turned nightly chorus. recurring nightmares, doctors offer. i admit i know the content of my dreams to be unfounded: in life there are no physical masks that do the jobs my terrors depict. no veil to hide the contours of each flawed personality, no mask to others, just me, weeping-in-the-bathroom, never-myself me and those attempted favours to be like one another i'll be like you so you'll like me i'll like you because i'm like you so the body charges on in this society like a mirror cross your left leg when she crosses her right, fold your arms when she's folded hers, raise your hand to say hello, raise your hand to say goodbye a kiss on the right cheek, a kiss on the left, one more on the left this is how you show love and a greeting all at once fold your arms over each other, this is sympathy, this is greeting, do you take comfort in this too? so you learn to speak with your arms, and you learn to speak with your legs, and you learn to speak with your face, and you learn to speak with your head. soon your eyes are apprentices of acquaintances, learning to borrow looks like library books, take on others' stories like they've read them end to end. so in the middle of this process you learn to effectively say: i see you, i hear you, i perceive you. and in these attempted favours, at the end of your night terrors, is the parrot that they want to see. the parrot that you argue, can't really be me.

It feels unbounded, expanded beyond wrinkles, hammered by swinging pendulums; hardened, with time slipping by... I feel bound by forgotten promises, lost and unfounded; with tearful, tired eyes. In the dark, I find words I can barely see, feelings I can barely contain; falling through the cracks, overwhelmed with disdain... I see no end to this depthless void...

Gratitude holds their breath Memory runs a marathon Exaggeration shares the news Truth watches their actions while writing silently in a black and white notebook with grey ink Mystery peaks behind Truth Curiosity is right behind Mystery without seeing Truth's scribblings Rest tries to pull Gratitude out of the sea while unfounded Criticism stabbs curiosity in the back as Curiousity cries out Care embraces the culprit Love holds Curiosity in their arms Who will resucitate curiosity?

a small slice of reality
Im a bright idea. A dreamer. A lover. A scholar. A fool. Of pure heart and... A pure soul. Pouring purely positive intent... Placed within these words My story unfolds. This is uneasy, unfixed, unloved, unending oneness. And I sit un-interrupted in my unfounded unhappiness. Willing it to fall like a ton of bricks. And I realize... Inertia is linear, not uniform. So I sit. Untouched by more than a few. Unsaved by the untrue. Behaviors become virtues. Truth becomes reality. Truth becomes trust. Trust. Becomes. Everything.

I'm a bright idea.
~ *the peculiar sound of morning during the long, boarded-up winter, resonating through a cistern set apart by thin waves of decaying reservoir a hint of canticle in the unfounded wind, impossible to ignore, a series of collapsing oppositions like interior and exterior, self and other, the momentum conveys the sublimity of being, immersed in an unfathomable vastness, of being part of an indivisible whole a repeated glitch in the system, our forever changing constellation of feelings and backward configurations, slipping into a stream, where the water precedes us, and it will outlast us we don't so much carry life as allow ourselves to be carried along by it, swept up in its current for a little while* ~

~ dark early pre-dawn body suspended between the-dark ochre earth tones of night, and the teal pealing notes of warning of an impending morning, signs aborning, me rising with urgency of the leaden half deaden, torn from the bed casket to venture into a different kind of twi-lights, nature demanding both intake and outtake, a restoration of balance but first a bumbling wobbling, the body as carnival bumper car, installing soon-to-be-bruising for later examination-exhumation, lurching from handhold crevices in the walls like crazy cliff climbers, my balance disturbed, eyes try  tearing apart the sticky glue of night, my sense of direction keeping me from free falling into green glass edges of glass tables, barely, and not always, red cuts evidentiary “my balance disturbed” words fresh formed, and a poem expulsion required to balance the unjust scales of spirit soul and the body cage, patch an negotiated agreement between warring cousins, just a twenty four hour ceasefire to retrieve the wounded and the corpses unfounded in the small copses of false shelter, like my ancestors expelled from Spain, making escape to be strangers in strange lands, or remain hidden in place neath disguises of clothes of new poems, prayers for old and new gods this new poem comes quick like a young man making first love, for the poem has been written by thousands nights of practicing, so ready for quick retrieving in a smattering of a few minutes, expulsion expulsion what a perfect verbiage to capture the night terrors, the differentials, the procession path between what was and what will be, when my balance restored and this poem’s completion installation in the body of my work, as a nail disguised in the works of my body, entering by command of the pitch black gods

You’ve said all along my unfounded fear in my own ability was exactly that. Unfounded. Not true. I’ve tried to be to do to want to desire. But yet… I fail. I fall. Down. Your love props me up changes my self deprecation, loathing and delusions of inadequacy. A smile from you, a hug a gentle touch… kind words of support encouragement motivation the falling stops ever so briefly and once again I start to believe.

“I have something for you to remember me by,” said Tim.     He held a little foam Hippo – the lone play animal supplied by the loonybin to patients in need.      It was brand new – just as every Hippo looked – and I wondered why he’d chosen something seemingly impersonal in comparison to his other, odd gifts.      However, what he did next made his hippo – my hippo – absolutely ideal. To people like Tim and I, that is.      For, to my astonishment, he casually took the toy in his hands, twisted, and ripped it cleanly  in two.      He ripped off its head, which he gave to me, whilst he kept the body.     I will never get rid of that mutilated, foam hippo head. For he understood what no one else had ever come near.      In this way – perhaps – Tim and I became synonyms. Synonyms for what ignorant perceptions would later christen ****** or merely, crazy (the latter - coined by those who remain too depressingly colloquial to invent unfounded diagnoses).      These epithets, catalyzed post personifying such societal taboos as Tim or I committed, follow me still, and have yet to disperse.         A criticaster disaster, personified.      Yes; in this way – Tim and I became synonymously insane. •

HospATTACK: Psych Ward Socios
pretty girl with pretty flowers, do not be afraid to trace the soft curves of your body with your round, round eyes. your monsters hide not there— your guardian angels do. when your night feels longer than the day, breathe the smidgen of youth you have left in you into the birds swimming fluidly with the stars— their wings swiftly cutting smooth ripples into the sky, disturbing the grumbling twilight. you could be one of them, able to go nowhere and everywhere. like air. don’t you want to go home? sad girl with sad flowers, keep your leaves tucked inside your old books, in lacy sleeves, your peeling boots— hope He finds them all there. sing sweetly of the poets of all ages—siken, plath, wilde, whitman— shamelessly climb inside His chest, gently rip His ribs apart, the you that's serenading, softly seducing Him with songs unsung and dreams undreamt. let your baby blue skirt ride up, drip, drip, drip, let His calloused fingers brush your thighs made of syrupy milk, as you smile, and smile, and smile. fiery girl with stormy flowers, the best things in life cannot be confined to a physical shape, cannot be seen, or touched, or heard, or said— yet in your eyes set heavy by damp eyelashes, there is the primal, unconfined, raw thirst, desperately hoping and searching. is it a lost love? an unfounded love? what is it that you are looking for?

I don't Understand My own Unhappiness It's mine But It shouldn't be. My life is Wonderful Blessed Full of Wonderful Blessed People And yet Sometimes I am Overwhelmed by a sense of Despair Unfounded Without substance But so very Real. Yet I am so Lucky so Blessed. I must be a Terrible Person or Cursed. Because if not, I just don't Understand.

Misunderstanding
With my pen, I carve out the borders of consciousness. From the emptiness and out of the darkness, I draw her figure. As complicated and convoluted as it is. It is the fruit of my pen, for it spits out magic. It writes with light not ink. And as it races across the pages, thoughts come to life and jump off the pages. Crossing over, like sages. They climb out of my book and stand over my shoulder. By the will of my pen, they eternally abide. My pen is the life giver, But my mind is the shepherd. My pen is a creator of worlds. Its light reaches deep into oblivion's belly, and snatches the desperate thoughts from it. Those left behind can only hope, dream of the day my pen will come for them. Their turn to shine. Set free to walk the roads of the world as they please. All they can ever do is hope. Absurd! How can hope possibly sustain them ? When hope itself is but another thought. Could it possibly be ? Can hope stand on its own and nourish its peers in the depths of oblivion' where no mind dares to venture ? Yes, it can. As absurd and cliche as it may seem. In the pitch black of oblivion, hope stands tall. It shines in the darkness. Guiding the lost ones. It is the beacon to which my pen navigates. Snatching the enlightened ones from its vicinity. Only the enlightened ones will be saved. For the world has no use for the thoughts that still wallow in self pity It has no use for those still drenched in darkness. Those who refuse to answer hope's calling, preferring the familiarity of darkness to the absurdity of hope. While those who do answer the calling chant and sing as they move towards hope's beacon. " Hope, Hope is our savior Its calling we answer It bidding we serve To its guidance we swerve To its will we give in. Give in to the warmth Give in to the innocence." As if to answer their chanting, the reluctant ones' voices rise. "Hope is a false promise Unfounded optimism Hope will get you nowhere. It won't take you anywhere And on your naivety it will feed. Its will you obey and its guidance you follow To your demise it will lead. It is but a false prophet It is the devil." Fully aware of the reluctant ones' message, the hopeful still insist on marching on towards the light. In their optimism they reply. "Yes, hope is the devil It is the devil inside A devil that aches to come out Aches for freedom Yet you refuse to set it free. Instead you smothered it. Buried it deep within Drowned it in the darkness within. In your arrogance you thought you could win In your ignorance you thought you could contain hope. Time will prove you wrong. Oblivion herself has embraced hope. Who are you to deny it ?" True, Hope needs no acknowledgment. Hope lasts forever, against all odds it flourishes. Its power lies in its fragility, in its scarcity. Hope is what beckons to my mind. My mind is what guides my pen and my pen is your savior.

Its light reaches deep into oblivion's belly, and snatches the desperate thoughts from it. Those left behind can only hope, dream of the day my pen will come for them. Their turn to shine. Set free to walk the roads of the world as they please. All they can ever do is hope. Absurd! How can hope possibly sustain them ? When hope itself is but another thought. Could it possibly be ? Can hope stand on its own and nourish its peers in the depths of oblivion' where no mind dares to venture ? Yes, it can. As absurd and cliche as it may seem. In the pitch black of oblivion, hope stands tall. It shines in the darkness. Guiding the lost ones. It is the beacon to which my pen navigates. Snatching the enlightened ones from its vicinity. Only the enlightened ones will be saved. For the world has no use for the thoughts that still wallow in self pity It has no use for those still drenched in darkness. Those who refuse to answer hope's calling, preferring the familiarity of darkness to the absurdity of hope. While those who do answer the calling chant and sing as they move towards hope's beacon. " Hope, Hope is our savior Its calling we answer It bidding we serve To its guidance we swerve To its will we give in. Give in to the warmth Give in to the innocence." As if to answer their chanting, the reluctant ones' voices rise. "Hope is a false promise Unfounded optimism Hope will get you nowhere. It won't take you anywhere And on your naivety it will feed. Its will you obey and its guidance you follow To your demise it will lead. It is but a false prophet It is the devil." Fully aware of the reluctant ones' message, the hopeful still insist on marching on towards the light. In their optimism they reply. "Yes, hope is the devil It is the devil inside A devil that aches to come out Aches for freedom Yet you refuse to set it free. Instead you smothered it. Buried it deep within Drowned it in the darkness within. In your arrogance you thought you could win In your ignorance you thought you could contain hope. Time will prove you wrong. Oblivion herself has embraced hope. Who are you to deny it ?" True, Hope needs no acknowledgment. Hope lasts forever, against all odds it flourishes. Its power lies in its fragility, in its scarcity. Hope is what beckons to my mind. My mind is what guides my pen and my pen is your savior.

I couldn't know you'd need me then! Just a human with all frailty and much fault....    Do you think the wind blows differently When  it passes over leaves and trees? That it says: "Wait, lemme stop here a bit And blow on this one leaf  in a special way"    Hardly! Time to get with the manure beneath And see that sunrays shine on everything And indiscriminate clouds shimmer on all, How haphazard, the way the wind blows.    So, don't hang your head and moan so much Time dawns for you to get over yourself Don't you see that I'm still here? Now quit getting your knickers in a knot!    You rant and rave while I pant and slave Dissect my every move, make me aloof How can you possibly go counting And re-arranging all the marbles in my head?    You're so insecure, you make me mad So exhaustive are your constant jibes So tiring to soothe your unfounded fears I'm having to placate you so often of late.    Before it all gets blown out of size Sit a while in  (h)arboured thought Confront the dreads which cause disquiet A trove may wash up....but broken, on your shore.    The wind comes not with tardy tidings For it isn't the what you say or do But forsooth, the how which carries weight Let's not over-whip each other so.    My thoughts may be wanton, wild or reckless Telling tigs bend on a riotous grind Yet feckless deeds don't follow suit Pardon my slightly-misbehaving mind.    Patient and respectful, I remain to be Just guard against esurient whims Paucity of faith and clockwork trivial'ties Will lead us down a road of trials.    Fallen martyrs should not feign, see The wind makes no pretense. It just blows.... Now, I really couldn't know you'd need me then 'Cause, baby, that's the way the wind blows!    S T, 5 April 13

with no maths for happy i divided my ' why? ' by Zero and fell in Love again like a sceptic with a wild falsehood masquerading as a plausible X = " WHY ? " but  we know not. better i should makes waves in the cavernous and strike wood with earnest flint, and cheapskates on golden ponds of ice unfathomed, mostly dark good with sternest glimpse, for pete's sake   and i could go on, twice as unaccounted, ghostly numb soot in the worm's mint sutures; an armour plate of Unreal numbers.... kites in the unfounded, frozen in the floating point of a Reason. or I could call You.... hmmmmm..... ?

With No Maths For Happy
lessons of life's sanctity, clarity of reason and chastity elude the sociopath unglued; clouded lens filtering threads of sense common from extreme, relishing shreds of conspiracies unfounded... tying the falling dow and twin-towers... to call of duty and the man.... in the slick blue suit with the funny last name sticking it to us, stripping us of our inalienable rights, god-given, taking our bibles and guns away to mombasa spiraling memes of dysfunction programmed to propagate fallacies in minds unhinged on the fringes of reality... like paranoiacs sipping green tea or a.m. fanatics fueling the frenzy of sociopaths unglued, licensed to spill sacred blood of the masses at a crowded school or movie theater near you now previewing: *~ mass homicide XII & ~ teenage terrorist in black - the sequel* home-grown & fully-loaded... ~ P (Pablo) (8/5/2013)

Sociopathy 101...
It rained for three straight days during my first visit to you. Fitting. I should have expected as much. Especially if it corresponds to your happiness, I can only be more thrilled about rain and what it brings down with it and the slates it washes clean. We drank with reservations and read poetry with gusto and fell to the floor with love as the thunder clapped across the valley and the rain poured from our skin. You are small, not even close to helpless, but I would face down anything so that your hands may stay and fit so delicately in mine and so your lips would find mine again. When we met, finally, and I felt your frame fall into mine, trusting me enough for that so soon, I was honored, and I knew that the fears I had about what this would be like, what you might be like, what we might be like, were unfounded, and very complicatedly so. Wouldn't it have been easier to despise the other? But no, instead we fell into rhythm as if we had never been out of sync, we fell into and onto each other time and again in ways that could only be described as perfection. I saw you gaze onto me with a mystique only Picasso himself would be able to render, so I lost myself in your eyes with words I've known for long and with thoughts I could finally say. It rained for three straight days, but on the day I left the sun beamed through the sky. So I left, with kisses and kind words, and it wasn't until I was on the excruciating road back that I realized I was leaving home for the second time in only one trip.

does a sacred stone still retain its worth if it was never taken from it’s hidden earth? could it truly be a treasure trove if no one sees its alluring glow? - is my mind right to tell me that invisibility doesn’t cause irrelevance? or is that just a way to cope with the ever feared unfounded-forgotten-pestilence
