"whomever" poems
Tonight I missed a shot with nostalgia because of myself. I've become such a slave to my phone that the flashing colours in the sky could not, would not bother me. Everything except for the device shining in my palms was blocked out like a voice I didn't want to hear in the first place, Except I DID want to hear it. I want know about everything that is happening around me without burying my face so deeply into Google to find the answers I'm searching for. Nothing ever happens to me because I'm too busy in the comfort of my own home, upon my own couch, on my own phone worrying about the next Facebook status and whether or not it will be entertaining or in need of a dose of an opinion that is my own. I recognize that I have my own personal "cell"-mate that will follow me wherever I go as long as I don't forget it on my kitchen counter. I am shackled to my cellphone. It takes me in handcuffs daily, arresting me at my own free will. A policemen of such small character, yet so many brains. And I already know my rights. I already know my rights because I've researched them enough times with my mobile text book to have them memorized. You have the right to post a status, anything you say can and will be taken out of context. You have a right to an opinion, if you do not have an opinion one will be appointed to you by your desire to impress those whom share a friendship with you. I am a servant to technology. It's as though it is a part of my anatomy. If it's not one item of electronics it's another and it has my full undivided attention. As connected as we are, we have all become disconnected. No one talks anymore. Word of mouth has become word of texting. Important pieces of information are shared via the internet because it's easier to get it out there all at once instead of saying it multiple times. I sadly succumb to every chime I am beckoned with as it demands I answer whomever has interupted the surfing and scrolling and sharing and liking and commenting and posting... I put my phone down in disbelief. Now tell me, "What's on your mind?"

it is my birthday. but the world has long disowned me. honestly--I ask--why do I bother? as there must be something there for me--out in the viscera. for I, am still here. it is my birthday. but the public has long shunned me. faces thick as bedrock and eyes as dull as mint wrappers. and they use sound to blind them. it is my birthday. and no one seems to help. for it is not always happy to know, you're one day closer into the arms of the cease-r. it is my birthday. and words rule no meaning. for no one listens to me. and no one hears what I'm hearing. it is my birthday. and my marrow weakens as I breath. but bones sleep with welded lips 'neath the coat of earth. and--with shame--I shall, too, be nothing but empty research. it is my birthday. and I force myself to nature. O sand, is it true they pick you up and throw you in the wind? O sea, is it true you get stuck in the mouths and stomachs of the young? O hair, is it true you scream when the air beats you? but I don't hear--and I know many. it is my birthday. and I breath false air. is it true the ones that speak ill are on their death bed? is it wrong I wish for them to speed up time? is it wrong I point the reaper in their direction? so I needn't worry of their illness spreading to mine. it is my birthday. and we are all gathered for tea. the masochists sit by the sadists; that's the rule, so the sadist may draw that ball-point pen deep along their slate skin--and whisper the names of forgotten authors, so they may both moan with delicious harmony together--for two presents in one. it is my birthday. and the masochists ask me to join. they write each other's eulogies and revise--revise--'til there are none. it is my birthday. for now you know not, of what I wish, but what I need, a master. for I am not one. it is my birthday. and not all wishes deem true, for it seems no one cares of my words--my work--my blood--my tears-- a hymn to whomever it may concern--have you no mercy? it is my birthday. and I have not found them. I have not found the right. for only airless voices with no mouths, eyes that wish for many more, and souls that have lost time have found me. and I am one of them. and 'neath my heart, I always will be. for it is my birthday, and wishes don't come true.

When I die, I don't want to be buried. I don't want a casket. I don't want a tombstone. I don't really want much of a funeral. I simply want whomever desires To say something about me To do so (Whether it's good, bad, or funny). I want to be burned In a cardboard box, And as I'm being cremated, I want someone To read a poem that I have written For that very occasion. When I'm all turned to ashes, I want them to put me In a cheap little container And throw my ashes into the wind. Maybe over a field, a forest, or the ocean-- Whatever, so long as it's windy there. Mostly, I don't want my loved ones to have a Specific place to visit me Because I want to be the one Who visits my loved ones So I can give them kisses When the wind Brushes their cheeks.

Surfing across the glaze of light Multiverse into one, this universe shines bright Condensed energy upon my sight Mystery upon this 'life' All is multiverse stitched into one universe All universes stitched upon each other Tension upon layer and layers Heaven, Hell, reincarnation, all are bound by makers One moves upon a series of 'matter' or vibrations after the shell is removed or gained However rather low, high, negative, or positive energy, all is remained Logic A mere barrier designed and captivated by a mind Grasping your vision, your perception, your multiverse Either a hinder or power surge Forming pieces of ones quilt to converge A poisonous psychedelic The rarity of an ancient relic It is yours, whatever it may be Hold close, as it is all you may have As the 'universe' of the multiverse leans and meets according to so Then raving within your conscious, you see a brighter glow You pursue, you make the most Using the now gleam to move upon the multiverse you hope to have Doing all in reality in order to keep the spark alive What seems to be drab What seems to strive All according to the beholder We keep these lights seemingly closer Whatever they maybe Whomever they maybe What has never begun to start will never be over

Prison of Beauty
They say envy turns you green, But for me, I disagree. Envy is red, The color of romance. I envy your shirt, It constantly gets to caress your body. I envy your cigarettes, Constantly at your lips. I envy the words that you speak, For they are much more beautiful than I. I envy the ground you walk upon, For I want to be the only thing pleading at your feet. I envy your phone. Constantly at your fingertips, Caressing your cheek. You speak into it, And I hear "I love you." I envy whomever lurks on the other side. I envy your pillows, Because I know you cuddle with them when I am not there. I envy your necklace, For it is constantly closer to your heart than I'll ever be. I envy the medicine that you take, For I want to be what takes your pain away. You tell your tales, And I am envious of your past. Mostly because I am absent from your memories. They say envy turns you green, But for me, I disagree. Envy has no color. Only silhouettes.

Envy.
Sometimes I sit and wonder about the past. I reflect and let it affect my present- my future- It makes me wonder if I can ever really put it past me. Sometimes- most times- I sit and think about what you did to me. I was never this angry until I met you, I had never lost my temper over the slightest of issues. My anger was locked in a cage, like a lion in a den, away from all walks of life, because it was too ferocious too loud, too dangerous to let loose. You made me feel like a lion. You made me feel like a lion, but told me I was a butterfly. You were adding extra security to the cage while making me thinking you were trying your hardest to pry it open. You forced me to believe that you, and only you, could ever love someone like me- A lion- I mean butterfly. I refer to you as my ex-girlfriend even though I can still feel your words caress my skin. Even though every time I see a picture of you or hear your name my heart still skips a beat, even though it still feels like I'm a lion, trapped in a cage, as if you still have a hold on me. I still refer to you as an ex-girlfriend even though you never acted like it. You told our friends that I was frail- too fragile to hold- too hard to love, But before you, I was gorilla glass- protective and strong, But you made me feel like a lion and told me I was a butterfly, so my default mode began to play second fiddle. I don't think I want you back. I'm starting to find happiness in others, Solitude only comforts me when I can feel my anger- the lion within me, trying to break free from the cage. I've met someone who tells me I'm a beautiful, Someone who is trying to help me break free from the cage without tearing my claws off. Who lets me know I am a lion, but I could be a butterfly, and that either or is okay. I hope that whomever you decide is worthy to join the circus you've declared yourself the lion tamer of is strong enough to say no and walk away.

the early hours of the morning, when light has yet to show itself, and the streets are quiet. 2am is not for the happy people. it is not for the lovers. it is for the shadows that finally feel accepted. it is for the poets, who are still up because their mind is filled with an unimaginable amount of words about someone they love. it is for the broken-hearted who have been crying since 9pm. it is for the people who love but are not loved. it is for the one who finally feel like they can be whomever they want to be (or need to be) at 2am. and only 2am.

As a young girl, I was taught that I only needed 3 things in life to be happy. First, I needed a husband. I needed his love and I needed him to take care of me. I also needed to make him happy so that he would never leave me. Second, I needed a family. I was told having a family would be the greatest joy I’d ever experience and would keep me satisfied for the rest of my life. Third, I needed a beautiful home that other people envied. Well.. I grew up. I experienced all these things but yet, I am more unhappy now than I have ever been. My home feels less like a home, and more like a prison. because I am bound to it. I am bound to that home, simply because I am a woman and this is what women do, right? Because my gender defines me and confines me to this one lifestyle. After all, this is what my mother and her mother did, and they seemed content. But why should this be it? I don’t even know who I am! Ask me what I do, I’ll tell you “nothing, I’m just a housewife”. Ask me about myself, and I’ll tell you about my family. because I am not my own person. I belong to the stigma that my gender should define who I am and put boundaries on my capabilities. That I am limited to certain tasks and I cannot be anything more than I am expected to be. I have created this illusion that I am satisfied when I am not. I am disappointed and I’m wondering if this is it. Is this really what I am made for? My life is like clockwork. Everyday I go through the routines, over and over, silently praying for the day when I am free to be whomever I wish. But for now, I am nothing. I am only a housewife.

**** you. **** you for being so far away **** you for making me want you I can say it certainly is not fair, What is this, the ******* teacup ride? I always hated the fair. Fishing for plastic ducks and shooting impossible targets Seems like a setup for failure to me. **** you for making me take a look at myself in the mirror And for making me ask questions For making me lie And for making me tell the truth. Why can't things be easy? Oh yeah, that's just not how it works around here. **** you for making my imagination run wild. For casting yourself in the movies my brain constantly films And **** you for getting the cinematography just right. I can't look away. **** you because all I have is my imagination. I can make you whomever I want you to be. **** you for curling your hair and for having those lips And for being comfortable with yourself around me **** your small wrists and your quirky characteristics Your eyeliner and your fingernails **** your sparkling smile and your hips And **** you for making me want you so bad. **** me. **** me for yearning. **** me for learning That it's not that simple, That nothing is set in stone, That people are confusing as hell. **** me for taking the time to write this poem **** how angry it's making me And **** the fact that I'm writing it because of you.

**** You: An Angry Poem
My ****** is tired. Tired of having to explain why she wants to be left alone, Tired of men thinking they are entitled to her simply because they buy her things, Tired of women who shame and police her, Tired of being commodified, My ****** is just...tired. My ****** does not owe anyone *** She will take up arms to protect her agency and have it recognised, She will let whomever she chooses inside her, She will most certainly not explain her decisions to a soul, My ****** does not owe anyone *** My ****** will not alter herself for a man's pleasure. She defines beauty and serves other worldly aesthetics, She is a queen who possesses the ability to make you see God with her warmth, My ****** will not alter herself for a man's pleasure.

A ****** Monologue Adaptation
"Under a Mountain of green and a Sky of blue, Lived a race trapped behind a Barrier forgotten after so many years, Slowly their hatred over their predicament only grew, Lost and Forgotten, Hurt but not Broken, some wept their last tears, They heard them say, 'It's been four years since an Angel fell', But the wary Traveler knew not what that meant, It was up to the race to explain to the Traveler and tell, Of a Tale long ago Dreamt, Tale of a sun, and of a world Beyond, Where two races once lived in Peace, A world where both races could bond, Where fighting could stop, where hatred would cease, The Traveler knew then what to do, To free these people of their Fear and Hate, Some wished to help the Traveler, others where hesitant to, This Traveler - however much they faced - promised there wouldn't be anyone they'd berate, The Barrier was a force none had broken thus far, But this Traveler - too kind, too determined - couldn't give up, This Barrier they broke - an obstacle they hurdled like a highset bar, The Race rejoiced for now all where free - even Jerry and that Annoying Pup, This Traveler - who called themselves Frisk - was no more than a child, Yet a new Ambassador had been set, They told any and all that the journey had not been hard but mild, This child was greeted with a smile by whomever they met, 'A new family born, A past left to rot, A new treaty sworn, A kind present this lot!' This child thought with a smile upon their lips, As they moved forward with their friends, A skeleton too smiles as out of sight he blips, 'there will be time later - he thought - for the kiddo and me to make amends'."

Love saved my life It wasn’t long ago when I received the call I remember it like yesterday It was bed time ready to crashed when the township called expressing my brother had expired someone had took his life shot him in the head At that very moment my entire life shattered into a million pieces nowhere to be found Quickly I rushed to the hospital in the hope maybe he was still breathing, still moving but the outcome was everything but that Few days after we’ve put him to rest in his last resting place he was only nineteen Felt like a dream refused to believed i prayed to God to not allowed it  be true when I awake day dreaming But sooner and later you always always have to wake up Hatred strengthened to a point I was ready for war with whomever involved Strapped ready to fight when I realized because of my faith this wasn’t the way for I’ll rot in hell Not long after depression  kicked in started hearing voices all through my head Voices I didn’t recognized whispering to me It was time to joined him meaning my brother to a better place I remember I sat in my car with my glock clacked back against my temple ready to pulled the trigger when my phone vibrated  and said It was from love I decided to answered and told her my story had no more desire to live This was my good bye Then I started crying and she cried along with me and prayed with me tell me to come home   she’ll make this better she didn’t want to lose me in a word she was carrying my son which I’ve heard for the first time ever It was at that moment when  my life started over a clean slate at a new life and still today our love has grown stronger she showed me the love I always needed this  woman is the reason I did not drown In my depression In my sorrow In my anger Everyday she came looking for me I knew how blessed I am to have her in my life today This is my reason I care for those Who haven’t find love and have no one to call their own Because truly I truly don’t know what would I do today without my wife in my life for She is my treasure and the reason this is my reason I’ll always choose           Love

Love saved my life It wasn’t long ago when I received the call I remember it like yesterday It was bed time ready to crashed when the township called expressing my brother had expired someone had took his life shot him in the head At that very moment my entire life shattered into a million pieces nowhere to be found Quickly I rushed to the hospital in the hope maybe he was still breathing, still moving but the outcome was everything but that Few days after we’ve put him to rest in his last resting place he was only nineteen Felt like a dream refused to believed i prayed to God to not allowed it  be true when I awake day dreaming But sooner and later you always always have to wake up Hatred strengthened to a point I was ready for war with whomever involved Strapped ready to fight when I realized because of my faith this wasn’t the way for I’ll rot in hell Not long after depression  kicked in started hearing voices all through my head Voices I didn’t recognized whispering to me It was time to joined him meaning my brother to a better place I remember I sat in my car with my glock clacked back against my temple ready to pulled the trigger when my phone vibrated  and said It was from love I decided to answered and told her my story had no more desire to live This was my good bye Then I started crying and she cried along with me and prayed with me tell me to come home   she’ll make this better she didn’t want to lose me in a word she was carrying my son which I’ve heard for the first time ever It was at that moment when  my life started over a clean slate at a new life and still today our love has grown stronger she showed me the love I always needed this  woman is the reason I did not drown In my depression In my sorrow In my anger Everyday she came looking for me I knew how blessed I am to have her in my life today This is my reason I care for those Who haven’t find love and have no one to call their own Because truly I truly don’t know what would I do today without my wife in my life for She is my treasure and the reason this is my reason I’ll always choose           Love

I am human. I am just like you. There is nothing different between us. But that’s where it gets complicated. I am not the same as you. I am a different person I have a different life. I have a different background I have a different face. I have a different past, and I have a different future. If you look around yourself, this is true for all of the faces that surround you. But we are the same, right? We are all human; we are all part of the same earth The same creation story. But that’s not true either. Your creation story might be different than my creation story. And your story might not accept me as a part of humanity. I cannot change who I am. When I was born I fell into a concept most of you didn’t. The faces I first saw were so similar. Both bearded. Short hair, tears running down their faces. Two men sobbing tears of joy. Their daughter had been born. The first two years of my life I thought that having two dads was normal. Little did I know then, it was. But not the normal other people think of. People think normal is a mom and a dad and two beautiful children. I was never able to call anyone “mommy,” and I turned out perfectly fine. My whole life I have been surrounded by men loving other men And women loving other women etc. My best friend has two moms. One day, when we were seven years old Someone came up to us and said “Hey, your dads should get married to your moms.” I laughed then and walked away, but I never realized How much that would hurt five minutes later. Those words were like knives. They burned like fire. I wanted to go back and yell at that kid. His ignorance blinded me, and I could not speak. His words didn’t leave my head and never have. I like boys, yes, but guess what? I also like girls. And that’s normal. I can love a boy, but I can also love a girl. I have been telling myself this my entire life, and I realize that it’s true. It’s who I am, and I can’t change it. I don’t want to change it, because I am human And you are human, and you can love whomever you want.

I am Human.

When I get too blue I laugh at myself pick up the leash and take Mr. Brown to the dog park. He shows me how to be carefree will jump and bark drink a gallon of water and lick whomever he chooses without a worry in the world. Everybody admires his ***** What kind of dog is that? He’s a Rhodesian Ridgeback. an African lion hound, but he’s scared shitless of my cat. what’s yours? A Visla. Looks like yours, only smaller. Did you see that American Foxhound? That s.o.b. can jump! Yeah, too bad he can’t pay my mortgage. The young photographer shows off his brilliant Doberman’s latest trick – a double backflip catching the Frisbee ten feet high landing on all fours. The old lady with the blind daschund says, “Oh, oh, isn’t he wonderful?” She claps her hands in delight. The canine Noah's arc show runs all day with the entry of pugnacious Sharpeis the arrogance of Poodles the inscrutability of giant Malamutes. the pride of leash-holders. Gradually tree shadows darken the sawdust and people start parading home, the **** athletic girls with their boyfriends’ Shepherds the slow old men with their greying Labradors the lady real estate agents with their tiny Shih Tzus. And then it’s silent I’m the last one there alone in the gathering dusk still hearing echoes of joyful barks realizing how funny it is that so many people look just like their dogs but I don’t think about it, I just marvel at all this joy.

. Henry VIII was a deluded monarch, he could never have ruled the Earth, for he hasn't seen his **** for years, hiding beneath the bulk of his girth. And wobbling onto the battle field is not the behaviour fit for a King, he would have to sit nursing his cysts and hoping the ointments don't sting. His eating excess was cause for concern but his syphilis remained largely unseen, and one really has to feel so sorry for whomever it is that is currently Queen. His penchant for young and younger Ladies made him a stranger to baths and soap, and his bed hopping antics to sire a son bought him much trouble from the pope. © Pagan Paul (09/12/18)

When I wear makeup I feel unstoppable courageous beautiful. so beautiful. but I don't mean regular makeup, mascara lipstick eyeliner blush etc, I mean the kind that takes hours to apply, transforming myself into hit characters ghastly ghouls alien creatures minotaurs ziggy stardust I mean painting myself with all the theatricality I can afford. I feel like I can breath when I wear my makeup, I feel okay and calm and like nothing can touch me above all else I feel safe. so safe with that paint, everybody's looking at the makeup instead of me, they admire and compliment the mask I've crafted and it makes me happy to know they can't see my plain pale face underneath, the outrageous conception has formed a shield allowing me to step out in public without being afraid to exist. when I wear my makeup I'm allowed to be whomever I please and mingle-talk freely with all I want, my makeup lets me be like everyone else. The only downside is that not every week is spirit week, my gentle skin is too irritated by even the most hyper-allergenic makeup and acne protrudes and at the end of it all I still have to wash it off, watch my happy colors go down the sink drain, the mask doesn't last forever, and I'm left standing there the next day, without my makeup without my shield and I feel so naked, I feel incomplete and scared. I wish every week was spirit week, and that my skin was tough, so that I could paint my face every day               so I wouldn't have to be afraid.

Forbidden Fruit, Oh yes, an acquired taste, One I have sampled, hmm, So long, this was denied me, And now, the taste is good: So, so very good; ah. I indulged myself further, Using hands to explore, Becoming explored myself, And how I enjoyed. Oh yes, truly fulfilled, Until I became quite dizzy, Lost in abundant sweetness, Things turned around, Until up was down, Until it was I, being consumed. The world tilted, slipped away. My mind woozy, cossetted, My senses swimming, whirling, With slowly falling blossom. Reason floated away, danced, With soft petals in the breeze, Twirling among scented flowers, And I discovered the truth. Whomever claimed, stated, That forbidden fruit, so juicy, Is bad and to be avoided, Can never have tasted, Forbidden fruit.

Forbidden Fruit
Yes, But Do You Know You Deserve the World Through the sunshine and the rainbows, through the dark and stormy nights, your light shone the brightest, and whomever it touched, it lit their world. And in that light, do you know you deserve the yellow of the sunflower below? Your gleeful smile thawed the frost in the air, rushing into me and all around me— like the fresh breath of air on a winter morning, like drops of water slipping through a cracked rock, carrying beauty in an ethereal glow. And maybe you don’t see it, you changed me and the world around you. Your words carried a voice of reason, filled with warmth and understanding— sometimes childish and playful, but always fiercely protective, like the sunflower guarding its yellow. So I tell you again, your eyes shine bright like the stars above Your radiant smile took the blue out of my day, set butterflies to dance in the world’s wake Even when your cries dampened the world below, in my eyes you still appear so beautifully yellow, since the day I first saw your glow.

Beautifully Yellow
I am With whomever I speak Wherever I sleep I am Every form of season Rain, snow, falling leaves, heat I am Not bound by culture or belief For whatever I was It is only truth I seek I am Every color of reason Suffering and meek I am Travails and travels Loneliness Unique I am Someone to meet Bowing to my host Sharing a heartbeat I am Restless Every man a brother It is you who I keep I am The moon that never sets Circling, reflecting, holding Secrets that make me weep

For Every Traveler
There is not much more than lunch of your poor soul's gut. That which has hidden your chase, Be it the same flurry you face, or the chaste, widowed band of loons Supplicate snail-movements, while wading through the stiff lagoon. Everything must, while the fissures grow grumpy. While the dust settles inwards and the cracks fill with stuffing. The particle stands stiff, while each nursery cries. A pitter-patter of rain drops lurch the birds forwards towards flight. Say the gumption to roost was the dork lit and idling, Each abortion towards space, kept the rocket from flying, Like the cannonball sneering, or the whistle of men The trial and tribulations of the miserly pens. If be swore the moors, concrete beds shuffle the snores. Unlike any trumpet of nose notes or horns. How each curious grumbler failed the ewe of his flock. Lil' crock lodgers counting sleep of each lot. Who can practice commands, width that makes up a strake In the morning the weir-men quaff each tea of their tastes. Then comes to the rind, the hands each guided by eyes. Stumps the bard of his nightshade in imported glass vials. Show whomever the pleasure, the happy hell once began Because under each gambit is the king of a lamb.

Notes on a Lamb
I was broken. Shattered remains of what I used to be. Random misaligned pieces, sprawled all over the floor, crushed more by whomever would walk over them. And then you came. And you saw. Each piece you knew was a part of something greater. "Something beautiful," you said. You helped me pick up the pieces, ignoring the cuts on your hands. You kept me safe, so noone else would hurt me. You found a broken girl, but you saw Kintsugi.

Kintsugi
I'm done, I can't stand life anymore... I can't sit around watching my life fly away, and there being nothing I can do to fix it, because I've already thrown the rope too far way for me to grab it again. School has no value to me anymore. I don't want to be in this town I'm supposed to call "home"... I don't want to be anywhere. If you things I've written before were bad, here's the worst thing, I have and I am contemplating suicide... There I've finally admitted it to the world... Now you can go and tell everyone how sick and ****** in the head I am...
