Mi Malo Muchacha
.
what eye
know
is what eye know and
what eye know
eye don’t know
much.
like who has love for such & such?
me wanting 2 to see, hear,
taste and.. touch.
smelling it?
me – we’re thinking you very much
you – would agree then we’d probably clutch
letting the brake-out…r e a l s l o w
onto our break-out and
away we’d go
this subtle craving; small case is raving
promises made; howl of best
behaving
2 to share
just you and me there
exposing while posing
we’re into the bare
facts
and the facts found would find our figures are fair
you AND me - an equitable pair
2 in the right place;
into the write time
si - all of this
it’s mostly
mind

Grace said:Colours
You stand like a goddess
Silhouetted against the blazing
Setting sun
Your white diaphanous robe
Floating behind you
Blown by the wind
Your hair flowing to your waists
Shifting in the wind
Like ebony curtains
You stand tall like a warrior prince
A shifting shadow in the dusk
Against the darkening sky
Your sword sheathed by your side
Your shoulder, wide
Your eyes fixed at the distant
Far horizon
Where your kingdom once was
Now laying in dolorous ruins
You are the priestess
You are the seeking prince
The soothsayer the seeker
The traveler and the destination
The lyrics and the song
You are the one and many
A single angel and legion
A best friend and a stranger
You are Gemini and Solitude
Thank you so much for this, Grace! I could never had imagined such a beautiful, and true, tribute for me. I am happy to have you for a friend. I love this poem with all my heart, and I will cherish it forever!

I Dare To Swim The Seas
If only you knew
how much I wished for you
I stare into space
looking past the blue ,
your porcelain face
my mind races to
I need to embrace
so much of you .
My fingers trace
the screen you're there
and I do dream
it seems unfair
the LED
is where , I swear
the place to be
with you , right there .
To touch , your hair
and hear you breathe
I think , I dare
to swim the seas .

Did You Say Coffee (SP Summerscales)
With half a name
and no image ,
inside my brain
you cause a spillage .
Conversations
condemnations
they stretch across
two known nations
I have no cost
and variable stations
I am my own boss
with a lot of patience .
You know where I've been
you read what others see ,
if I was five ,
you'd have my jelly beans ,
I say these silly things
and in gone days
wore golden rings
sometimes I may forget
what it is that I should bring .
I've lived a lot of life
in the dark and in the light
not always am I right
I joined the bee's
but failed in flight
my mouth is bigger than my bite
I die in the day
but live by night
I am earthly
can you quake
your agelessly awake
and always out of sight
can you make
the dull night bright .
So coffee anyday
don't worry it's ok
I'm not loony
just insane
maybe soon
I may stray
from the glue
of my domain
on a zooming
high speed train
images , spillages
leakling from my brain .

when I grow up
I wanna be
just like
you
out of the way
a runaway
one who renounces ruse as requirement
one who has no need for what desire meant
only what it means..
like you
one who races
for & against nouns
those clowns..
their proper names properly ::not placed
yet reaching out to them
right alongside pro-active verbs
like you, doing it just for fun
turning them into pun
I wanna be able to cry & sob by the metric ton
in between episodes of serial killings
those murderous escapades of non-commercial success
like you, I wanna repress
my best..
with poems…other’s
un-named
un-said un-titled
calling them my remedial fixation
using them as excuse
as exercise
just like you
claiming
that any shallowness angled just right
that it is best left off the page

I'm Not A Psychiatrist
I’m not a psychiatrist
I’m not here to save your soul
And I really hate the way you lean on me
The way you attempt emotional manipulation
Like I’m some sixteen year old girl
That doesn’t know what you’ll do
If I let you get to close to the zipper on my pants
And we could have been friends
If you hadn’t decided to act like a stalker
‘Cause I really don’t care about your problems
When you make me feel so uncomfortable
And who cares if we’re a little fucked up
It doesn’t mean we’ve achieved some kind of entanglement
Via this poetic media
And I’m completely over all your “pour me another drink” bullshit
‘Cause you don’t know me like you think you do
When you’ve only seen me as words on a page
And just because I like to frequent hell for day trips
Doesn’t make me qualified to fix your life
While you’re turning into to the guy that would get blocked
If only this were facebook

This world is so unfair
And things always go so damn serious
Whatever big thing I do no one cares
All they love is me getting the worse no delirous.
This world is so unfair
In our lines of work no one seems to be feeling us
The bosses the leaders and my home town mayor
Avoid me like vermin no one sticks with us.
This world is so unfair
All I ever thought was right becomes mysterious
U kmow why?somebody somewhere is not fair
Why is this damn world so ridicolus.
This world is so unfair
I got sad facts and hilarous
Well let it be but I swear
Im going to do it firacicous.
This world is so unfair
But I don’t mind since im curios
Ill make one decision so rare
Then all who despise me will end up furios.

That's so beautiful. Goodness. I guess sometimes short and sweet is the best way.
If only I could,
but I cant so I wont.
Divulge my words for you
on you
to you
You wont hear me
You never do
Unless I am screaming
and I dont want to
waste my energy on you
My words are precious gems
Of light
spilling out of my heart
For you
It was always you...
I guess
somethings are better left

See You Around
I see your picture
You have many, but usually they show the same thing one way or another
You look old and worn out; tense really
You're face looks sweet, though
You look loving and careful
But I do not understand your words
And when I do, you are a complete asshole
And yet that attracts me
And deep down when I get past that volcano of hatred getting ready to explode, I reach a new lava and I want to be in your comfort zone
You are so smart
You have many poems that have various meanings
You usually post two or three in each competition
Maybe one day I'll confront you in a private message
But if I did, I'd still be vague because I'm to shy to approach you, Your Majesty.
