-Misguided Scum-

Love,
What a wonderous fog to be in.
Love the way she looks, thinks, smiles,
And love the way she laughs.

But alas all fogs are stripped away,
When they are revealed to rays of the sun.

Men can never be with any one woman,
They must be with two or three.
We always hurt those that we love,
And when is doesn't work out, we return to them.

Some of us men intend from the very start,
Intend to betray our girlfriends, family, or friends.
To the select few of us, we dont purposely betray our loved ones,
It just happens.

And with these select few,
There is almost always one whom feels guilty.

I am the guilty member of this group,
I am the scum that isnt worthy.
Im unworthy enough to touch my loved ones shoes,
I swear it was an accident.

And althought it was an accident,
I wouldnt take it back.
The way her eyes twinkled, and the way she smiled,
It was like growing wings and taking flight.

But all I have to do to relieve this guilty burden,
Is to yell it to the heavens.
But I cant even mange to make myself do that,
Because I would consider myself worse than scum for acknowledging it.

Scum, Scum, Scum,
Scum is all that we men are,
How do women mange to deal with us?

Thank's for that wonderful entry -Peace, Miki

Laying To Rest

This is my final decree
I'm laying this one to rest.
 
This is me
Letting you go.
You're a cheap fake
And I never should of fallen for that.
You're an ignorant fuck
With no soul
No passion
No difference
No art
And I really should't of fallen for that.
You're a dime a dozen
I could of picked anyone like you
Off the oil stained street.
Head ups
Good luck.
But I guess you're tails.
I never should of stopped for that.
 
I might not make it big
So I might never get to rub it in your face.
But at least I know I'm human
You're just a drone.
You'll fuck a million women
And live to tell.
I'll marry
And have a hundred kids
And die to be told about.
Someday I'll forget your name
Your face.
Forget I ever even gave you the chance
To embrace,
Me.
You'll always remember my grace
My soul
My passion
My difference
My art
You'll always be haunted by my ways.
I'll be at peace
And you'll be at
War.

HAD I KNOWN

Had I known

    that it would be so hard to breathe

Would I have loved you?

Had I known

    that the sky would be so dark without your eyes

Would I have longed for you?

Had I known

    that I would forget how to smile without your smile

Would I have left my home for you?


Had I known

    that I would not be able to hold your hand

Would I have hoped with you?
 
Had I known

    that you would never be mine

Would I have become yours?


Now, there is nothing left to do

The war between our nations

Tore us apart

I visit your grave

Pray for your soul

Tend to the flowers

Cry a lot.....

LIFE IS AN EQUATION

Life is an equation

[24] DAS28=0.56 \times \sqrt{TEN28} + 0.28 \times \sqrt{SW28} + 0.70 \times \ln(ESR) + 0.014 \times SA

That I do not understand

M\left[\mathbf{r}(t),\mathbf{\dot{r](t),\mathbf{\ddot{r](t),t\right]=0

Everything can be described

The relationships
           between
                 the knowns and the unknowns

You are the unknown

   M\left[\mathbf{r}(t),\mathbf{\dot{r](t),\mathbf{\ddot{r](t),t\right]=0

I can never figure you out

Just when I am
     Starting to understand

You just change again
                     p( x ) = \frac { \sqrt{ A( x ) C( x ) - B( x )^2 ] {\pi A( x )}

I keep brushing up on my math

Which is futile

Because I am a fluctuation
                     m\frac{d^{2}\mathbf{x]{dt^{2]=-\lambda \frac{d\mathbf{x]{dt}+\boldsymbol{\eta}\left( t\right).

Having to walk so carefully

I am a tightrope walking quantity


So in life 1 + 1 = ?

If you think it is two
     Just wait, it will change

If you think that 2x2=4
     Maybe you think life is fair

But I found that hard work
     Just never got you there

It is who I know
     I want to know 2, 3 and 5

Prime numbers have clout

Which 1, 4 and 6 just do not

So in terms of advancement

My learning curve must be fast

Cause I want it all

I want it to last

You are not an  Αα =Alpha

You are a Beta function
               \mathrm{\Beta}(x,y) = \int_0^1t^{x-1}(1-t)^{y-1}\,dt \!

You need to be tested

That will take too long

Been a Beta tester all my life

You would not believe the things I have calculated

All the worry, misery and strife

Sick of Beta testing

Going out on time: 0600R

I do not want to be found!

I KNEW

Wished upon a star
my foolish secret game
Knew you wouldn't mind
for your dreams were the same

I said "forever, I'm yours"
just to see you smile
Knew you wouldn't mind
if forever waited a while

Wished that words were enough
to let your mind be sure
Knew you wouldn't mind
if words were few and pure

Found a road I'd love to take
Unbroken, just one lane
Knew you wouldn't mind
for our journey was the same

Wished that I had more to give
It never seemed enough
Knew you wouldn't mind
if life sometimes was tough

You wished for me to smile
One for you to hold
Told me that you wouldn't mind
if sometimes I was cold

Told me its ok to need
that extra hand to walk
Knew you wouldn't mind
my mouth when I don't talk

You wished you had more to give
Enough to fill my soul
Told me that you wouldn't mind
if my giving wasn't whole

You taught me its ok
to give and to receive
Told me that you wouldn't mind
for now we make believe


Tonight i see what hid before
as your words speak sharp and clear
My lack of giving you couldn't ignore
The end of our road stops here

“You, Who Cares”

They say they love you.
But, they hurt you instead.
Screw with your head until
you wish you were dead.
They’re criminally insane,
twisting your brain,
you ‘re always the one to blame.
Without a doubt, they’re flat out evil,
taking great pleasure,
finding strength,
in your own pain.
Strange,  
I never realized
love was so enjoyable for them.
But, there’s
no reason for them to grieve, it’s
all your fault
you had to leave,
not theirs.
Sordid lot.
Bid them adieu, and
get along,
you,
who cares.

When Gladiators Kiss
(Inspired by a conversation with Gypsy Red)
 
Oh yes, my gal pal Pat was so very right
When she said love is a battlefield
 
For so often it feels that way
Like you and I are locked in a struggle to the death
 
Some times it's words, other times it's silence
With physical rage often just below the surface
 
Why is it that the strength I so admire in you
Can sometimes make me so angry and feel so threatened
 
What is really sad is the fact that after all these years
We both so know how to hurt, where to stab the dagger
 
Once again we face off, dressed in armor
Prepared and skilled for the gladitorial fight
 
Both of us sure we're right, wanting to win
As if yielding will diminish us, show we're weak
 
Oh how I long to put down my shield, drop my sword
Raise my arms in surrender, expose myself
 
Then walk towards you, step in close
Kiss your sweaty, bloody face
 
Look deep within your eyes, and see your soul
The beautiful siren who first lured me to these rocks
 
Then take you strong, but not by force
Being the man that first swept you off your feet
 
Feel you at first resist, but then relent
Yielding and become beautiful soft submission
 
Peeling off your sexy armor, dropping it piece by piece
Then nibbling your neck, kissing the bend of your knee
 
Watching your nipples swollen and then harden
See the glistening from your pouting southern lips
 
Seizing your hair, pulling you in close
Exchanging breaths as if our very lives depended on it
 
Smiling as you drop to your knees and remove my tunic
Taking control as you kiss and bob on my lance
 
Then falling together on the sandy floor of the Coliseum
Rolling entwined and undulating, gasps and moans
 
Finally cuming together as we so rarely do
Looking in each other's eyes as we catch our breaths, quiet our hearts
 
See you smile that impish grin, making me wonder
Exactly who seduced whom this time
 
Then no longer caring and smiling myself
For in this brutal contest there was no loser
 
Realizing this, I get up from the couch and enter the kitchen
Sliding in behind you as you wash the dishes
 
I smell your hair and then kiss your neck
Let the games truly begin

"Truth Serum"

First things first
Call it what you want but love is a curse
A fated expiration date
And no escape from the hurt
And it's sad cause' some people do deserve it
Duplicity's resurgent
Staying faithful wasn't working
So the people who were hurting made a vow
It'd never happen again
No one they came in contact with now
Would surpass being a friend
Welcome to the end of laudable behavior
The closest ones betray ya
Rendezvous then see you later
And it's true they weren't as grateful
Everlasting grief
Fill in the void
With trivial attachment and fabricated remorse
Not many people these days are staying true
The best things to do
Honestly
Keep your focus just on YOU

"Goodbye"

I wish you were real
I tried to believe
My heart is no game
Stop hiding from me
Do I still care?
Does fire burn bright?
But still I can't trust you
You've changed overnight

Can't say I didn't care
Can't say I didn't fight
You should've been honest and treated me right
I thrive on commitment and love without limits
I don't want to worry
I don't need suspicion

You've given me time to make a decision
I don't think I'm wrong
Embrace this division
I'm told I was angry
Resentful at heart
But you were unfaithful
That pushed me too far

Thank's everyone-really good entries made this a tough one -I appreciate all of them..
Winner is Dexstaray for Truth Serum-BIG congrats
Peace, Miki

Thank you very much!
