and dreamlessness,
and the unrealized rain
of last night,
the marina
drops like a dew-bead
into the morning bustle.
eying the colorful ropes
of their wealth,
the yacht owners
strut barefoot
in khakis and polo shirts
while two women
read to one another
on a bench
facing the river.
in the stinking
square cement basin,
the boys hose
the steel tables of the fishery,
wearing slick aprons
and a beautiful, becoming
bravery
as they peddle their youth
for fish guts.
the dogs
and dog owners
take in the smells,
snicking along,
panting,
smiling.

Talking to you is hard because the words don't flow naturally.
The way you flip your hair is flipping the sweet scents of that shampoo you use every night into my nose.
And I hate you.
I hate you because you know how to torture me.
I doubt you know you have the power.
And no drug can change this feeling.
I've been around you. Intoxication.
Even if your spirit was the only thing there.
You had no body.
I don't really even fucking care
Because just a piece of you is enough.
But all or nothing!
I will not settle.
For you are the bane of my existence.
My illegal drug.
My falsity.
My love.
My passion.

The cry of a raven seeking its goal. He keeps calling for her, his voice grows stronger and the distance between them seems to be closing in. A raven, a man, a shadow or simply another human being wishing to find some warmth. But I am cold, she thinks to herself. He will not find warmth in my embrace. They shut me out in the s
TypicalOne day, I saw somebody walk on by.Typical5 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
We swapped glances, catching each other’s eye,
Smiling, both stuttering a quiet hi.
Strange emotions thought, you’re the perfect guy.
I asked, will my love for you ever die?
Which is what made me, just, give it a try,
When he answered, I was bursting to cry,
Since, sadly, got rejection. Why? Why? Why?
I should not have expected it, should I?
That I would get my desired reply.
I should have forced my feelings hard, to lie,
But could not get my bird of love, to fly.
Now, again, we happened to walk on by,
Never looking, into each other’s eye...

Standing here, I watch you walkaway
Watching our love decay
Don't you see?
You're making me lonely's nominee
Look at all we had, the dreams we shared
Now all we're left with is despair
Maybe someone else will find my heart's key
And come to me with a life time guarentee
We'll always stay together, hand-in-hand
Which you'll probably never understand
If life comes my way, He'll be here to stay....

Women Are ObjectsWomen are objects that cry and bleedWomen Are Objects6 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Simulacra that want and need
Marionettes that sleep and feed
All they are, and nothing more
Women are dolls that laugh and talk
Toys that hesitate and balk
Figurines that run and walk
That's all, and nothing more
Women are statues that whisper “stop”
A present from God with a bow on top
A ripened ready-to-harvest crop
That alone, and nothing more
Women are objects that bleed and cry
Like tools that break or stars that die
Only symbolically “alive”
Just that
and nothing more

Slips across the grove
Whither do you wander, Lady,
Lone and fair, where do you rove?
Nightfall
When the wild geese call
And stars lay on the ground
Deep dreams
When the bluebells ring
Old tales that the harper sings
Grey mist that the twilight brings—
Here will I be found.
Shadow, fleet and flickering
Moves among the trees
Whither do you wander, Lady,
In your mantle silver-green?
Midnight
When the wild wings light
Upon the foggy down
Deep dreams
When the woodlands ring
With songs that the harper sings
Blue pools that the moonlight brings—
Here will I be found.
Shadow, soft and shining

Well thank you,
Now please excuse me while I throw up,
I never realized I'm such a screw up.
I just couldn't tell you that I like you,
So I stomach you talking about her.
Well thank you,
Now please stand aside while I scream inside,
For once in my life I looked in the eyes and lied.
You asked me if I was doing alright,
I told you "I'm fine", but really I'm dying.
Well thank you,
Now please listen, I need to tell you how I really feel,
Will you just laugh at me and say that it isn't real?
I know you don't feel the same, you like her.
"You're my friend, you shouldn't have a crush."

One chance to throw your life away
The night grows lighter
The end is near
But did you see
Who cared for you?
They tried to tell you not to go
But you would not listen to them so
You stand here at the dock
If you only knew how they feel
You wouldn't be here not today
Your wait is over you take the plunge
No take backs now it's already to late
Murky depths soon consume you
It's fuzzy now but all you see
It's the faces of those who cared
You start to cry you feel no tears
You long for another breath
But that will not come
You hit the bottom and have passed on
At the Surface where tears have shed

But the count's about to end
We've been through this once already
But now you just pretend
I've been struggling for some time
But your well of time is dry
My bleeding heart still longs for you
But my soul's about to die
I've scratched and bit and begged and plead
But you refuse to understand
I've done my very best for you
But you chose another man

A Demons’ lies
Tangled together,
By inevitable ties
Ties of strings,
Invisible to the eye
Bound inside,
No time to cry
Emotions unleashed,
Through body and soul
No time together,
Her body turns cold
Darkness engulfs her,
White wings turn black
She’s leaving her life,
There’s no turning back
Abandoning her God,
For one of darker sorts
Choosing for love,
Her life is cut short
Betrayed by her love,
Her one and only fear
He crushed her life,
And no one can hear;
An Angels’ tears…
Self TransitionAs I look into my life I've noticed a few things. The change from the little insignificant artist who hid in the corner at school to the flamboyantly strange writer.(and attempted photographer) I study my past to try and figure out what changed, and I think it was when I left the place that held the shell of who I was. I had been trapped in this mold of a person that was no longer me. My former seemingly normal self was trying to change, but was constricted by who the people around me used to know.Self Transition4 years ago in Biography & Memoir More Like This

Give us this day our latest rips.
And forgive us our leeching,
As we forgive those that leech from us.
And lead us not on to private trackers;
But deliver us from the MPAA:

As much as I wish they were,

Help me please.
I'm having the strangest symptoms.
I think I'm allergic to this one guy…
He makes my skin flush red.
I giggle uncontrollably.
I cannot stop smiling!
A mysterious force
Draws me to him
And once I look, I cannot look away!
He wanders through my dreams,
He's in my every thought,
My friends complain
When I complain
About my various syndromes.
So, please, doctor, help me!
I need some medication.
I need medical attention
Use your education…
What? What's that you say?
I am fine, you say?
Surely you must have some idea
Of what is going on.
This boy must be kept away from me!

The young woman collapsed into the alleyway, her mechanical arm pulling her down as she quickly crawled behind the trashcans. The footsteps were getting closer and she knew they were coming for her again, coming to drag her back to the dark room with the strange machines.
She huddled in the dark, her naked body shivering as she listened to them getting closer and closer with each footfall. She'd been running for hours, crossing the moors and mountains and down into the city as she listened to the helicopters and trucks tracking her, their radios speaking clearly inside her head as they hounded her through the dark night.
