*Odium above all odiums, I have militancy of you now
For I own isochronism; A vigor grim dispute; not now
Your slaying too vile
Uncouth by demands
Which was the admonition I had previously
Whod've known I'd command
Garble after garble, I'm Dexterrized where I stand
Dun and gnaw your way out, go on
The un-zoetic soon will spawn
Out with gyp of hints that dwindle
Furbishing these tinges; out the window of innuendos*

As I brushed off
The six week old dust
Off the mirror the other day,
I was happily taken aback to see
Myself a tad bit prettier, after weeks.
Funnily enough, I had made
The mistake of believing my
Reflection to be me.
Introspection's a better mirror,
I reflected.
Why does one look into the mirror everyday?
To remind himself how, or rather who he is?
That opaque shard of glass
Could never encompass
The zoetic surge of thoughts
That have gushed forth from me
Since the time I have existed.
I'm sure, the mirror pities
It's own lack of identity.
Manipulated by reflections
Of a myriad kind,
The mirror manipulates us thus,
Mirroring us and itself
In another way.
They thought this opaque shard of glass
Could contain the infinitude within us.
It has only mirrored the illusions
We projected each time we looked into it.
I am only distanced from myself
Each time I seek to find myself
In that stagnant pool of perceptions.

You are my spring,
Warm and breezy.
In your sunny insouciance,
I am pacified,
Calmed.
You are my lover,
Hot and knowing.
In your embrace,
I am exalted,
Zoetic.
You are my god,
Transcendental and virtuous.
In your divinity,
I am lustrated,
Awakened.
You are my Toulouse,
Beautiful and attentive.
In your heart,
I am home,
Serendipitous.

An aching agonizing anguish
Breathlessly breaks bonds
Coldly constantly cracks
Dread's distant deathlike deeds
Eerily everlastingly endlessly
Float flying frostily
Growing greedy
Hauntingly horrific
Immensely insane
Just joylessly jailed
Killing kindlessness
Lying lovelessly losing life
Missing my misfit mourning mind
Now nowhere near new naturality
Over old objects or obsessions
Priceless piercing pain
Quiet quarrels
Rusting rage restless reaped rationalizations
Silent scary severed soul's sorrowful secrets sink sadly sighing softly
Tasteless tears torn trust
Unknown unloved unforgiving
Veiled vying vacant vengeance
Worse wild wordless wispy white worried winding whispers
Xenomorphic
Yesterdays
Zero zoetic zest
Please comment I love to read other people's interpretations of my work :)

Self:
Hello?
Is there anyone around me?
Can you hear it in my voice?
I am calling
Calling for a lasting heart
Is it you?
Are you my hope?
Are you the one who'll set me free?
Or are you here to lock me up?
Inner self:
What are you?
Can you answer me?
My vision has gone so dark
I can't see who you are
Where am I now?
Can you see this shining light?
Can you hear me now?
I am shouting on high!
Both:
See the colours flow
The ocean waves
Hear the trees breath
And the animals play
See the sunlight shine
The moonlight glow
The wind blow
And the river flow
Self:
Who am I?
In the darkest night
Flying high
til the morning light
Inner Self:
Who am I?
In the light of day
Eager to bask
In the yonder bay
Both:
Who are we?
In the days to come
Holy and complete
We bless all unique
See the sound
Hear this call
We call to all
The beauty abound
Self:
I walk in the shadows
Seeing which others hide
Feeling the darkness
That you all run from
Inner Self:
I walk in the light
I see the fakeness
The plays people put on
The webs of lies people speak
Both:
We see truth
We see lies
We see all
We see divine
We see the laughter
We see the torment
We see beauty
We see destruction
Longing for the one
Who has been caged
Begging for it to come
Back to grace on high

Again I falter
For the arrow
Who would remain so and break (hearts)
Than bend or curve
The contours of her body
Sharp, so sharp
Her hair bleeds
And her voice
and her eyes
and her heart
So sweet
I ache for her again
Though I know
'Tis in vain
For the woman who loves the arrow ends up split in twain.

*Her breath was
poetically zoetic,
so ethereal ~
she could fly*

Armies bring certain doom.
Everlasting fear growing
however, in justice
knights lead.
Men now openly plea questions,
regarding situations that
Under vicious wars
"xenogenous"
you're
zoetic...

God, why does nothing make me feel alive anymore-
I’ve nothing to wile me into contentment-
The way existence seemed so zoetic as I’ve chased after lovers through a garden of futility
I just wish I could trick myself into happiness.. even if it were temporary.. even if it would destroy me....
Because everyday I rediscover living is so dark and so cold and ever so lonely

the baby shower was tomorrow
the beers were packed,
I was off to LA and the contingency was dancing with some kind of ecstatic zoetic
energy,
In an hour time I will be at UCLA
Bruin territory
possibly drunk
possibly stumbling
picking up a friend,
cheers,
to be in Los Angeles again
the timing was
rite,
the reunion was perfect. -Shane Book

It's true that fresh air is good for the body,
And singing is good for the soul.
Dancing is the exercise of one's strength,
And learning will help us grow.
This is our body,
This is our part,
Why should we give it up?
Breathe, sing, dance, learn,
Give the world our all,
And take nothing less than that.

You shower me
dripping, drenched in
dewy jewels
of Your heart
My Ruby Love
with sapphire complexion
The embossed gold hem
of my sari swirls
ecstatic feet dance
zoetic
voluminous sufi circles
around the
greatest treasure
we can ever imagine
Near the lake of my
rippling, silver tongued mind
You play Your enchanting flute
So that all I see is
Your alluring Eternal Reflection
throbbing
in crystal clear depths
of Self

what i love about poetry
poetry doesn't talk
or converse
it yells, screams
simmers, caresses
electrifies, vivifies
soars, carries, raps
pampers, wraps
dreams, dances
laments, soothes
embraces, catapoults
the truth, the
zoetic gold
of the heart
even if tainted, alloyed,
buried, misshapen,
domesticated,
melted, newly formed
the gold,
if you dare
read it,
if you dare
wear it
unveils the
24 karat
jewelry of the
human heart

Once I was zoetic,
and words became life
But now I am dead,
—and death becomes me

If I undress myself ….
You’ll see the ugly too,
I’m not willing to risk it.
zoetic is the slashes against my back until the age of seventeen,
i think zoetics are the beautiful dressings that hold us
capture us,
in fear of running off into something so beautifully damaged people might -pay more attention to the clown
than the performance.
this all just feels like a lifetime re-run featuring ground-hog day,
can you fix four valves strategically caged?
I am Ground-hog day
and you ...
an oblivious extra
fumbling to remember ONE line.
surgery beyond your comprehension
I may never meet the sensation of flying,
what right did i have to be set apart from the world
an evolving theory that grows only in fondness and size of it's essence,
only air , unparalleled
you dare not have a speck of shame you, look in the mirror if you'd like but careful not to interfere with his creation,
its is a matter of time before I'm left like ...
adam and eve...
floating.
ironically comforting as he settles at my bedside to the next best,
truth.
He will always be the next best compared to divinity,
comforted in my pain with a promise impossible to break
compliments of fragile trust.
I will never know what it is like to fall
that’s reason enough for me.
