PEN
Pen is just a three-letter word…
lowly in stature,
but could write
an infinite number of words –
from mundane to exotic,
anything you could think of.
With a pen I could paint
a picture of you: walking
down the soft and glistening
white sands while your hair
is caressed by the gentle breeze
coming from the clear blue sea,
as slow moving clouds pass you by
underneath the cerulean sky.

DOG
Digging a hole so deep,
can't remember all the lies
to find your way out of all the shit.
Leg up revealing that tiny dick,
pissin all over the place claiming
bitches that don't even claim you.
Nasty, dirty...licking your ego more
than any woman with sense would dare
lick that cock.
...Dog...man's best friend
because you need someone to lick you
when you get caught.

Dried Up Red Roses
Anamnesis...
Countenance fell
Rose petals on the floor...
A numbing betrayal
Those letters woken more than encompassing shell
Those letters closed the door
For the love was curtailed
Reluctantly...
Clearly wasn't meant for us to be
No communication
Broken patience plus deceit
What had I done to me?
Compassion's to blame...
Even if I went back it would happen the same
I ignited your spark
You extracted the flame
Then decided bogart was the action to take
Complicated...
And one would think the rose was unrelated
In fine fettle turned cold and desiccated
Now frozen in the pages, with the pictures, and the pain
I'd like to know the changes you were wishing to attain
Machiavellian...
So convincing it's a shame
I was focused on the sentence more than filling in the blanks

Nightmare pt 3
Call and tell HQ we're in need of support!
And whatever they do
Get a fleet to the shore!
This is squadron eight-two and we need a report
Private Riley take two!
Robby's bleeding some more!
Where is the medic?
Wrap a gauze around it to protect it
You have to stop the bleeding...
I don't want to get infected!
At this point...
Now Robby was determined to live
He'd never saw a body but was learning to deal
Everytime he turned around
Another soldier was killed
Then he thought about the veterans..
I know how they feel!
Traumatizing
A soldier he had met upon arriving
Now lay stiff with his head set out beside him
Moho took pictures
The public should see
Everybody told him that the struggle was brief
What if I was traumatized?
Seeing blood in my sleep...
Everytime I close my eyes
Men shot on repeat...
But no one cares
Look!
Moho doesn't know he's there!
Gun goes off...
Now he's gone
That wasn't fair
Commander Black led eight-two through to a bunker
Robby gunned down two of the few who were running
Other soldiers shot back
The opposition was gunning
Commander Black threw a frag at the ones who were coming
And disappeared...
Then the air support had gotten near
Eight-two's tanks moved up
Shot and cleared.......

Pretty
This is pretty much,
Pretty much the way it is,
That has always, pretty much,
Been my name.
That has always been my name,
You might think that I'm insane,
But, pretty much, are you not the same?
The thing is: I'm cornered,
The truth of this walls is damp as they conceal the air,
The illusion of it all shaters and splatters its insides all over the floor in red, disgusting black,
The final question is revealed, it is pretty much the way it is, you have drowned your youth in sorrows, you're trapped, between yores and tomorrows,
This is pretty much the way it is, pretty is death, and pretty is pity, pretty is no longer pretty, dear, go on and shed your tears, go on, and bleed it all out in peace, pretty.

Antibioman (Anti bio man)
He is to you as the antibiotic is to bacteria
break it down to make it clear
anti, from latin-means against and opposing
bio, from latin too- meaning life
this is a man who will damn your existence
he'll erase the very essence of who you are
Don't ignore the implied Omen, also known as a gut feeling
in case of exposure
probioman (Pro Bio Man)
is highly recommended in high and frequent doses
until the affected is mended
Palpate
Adumbrates of blue study breasts
and that cleavage of tenderness
between thigh and privacy.
The body is an asking, dotted by the curl
of a curious woman-girl, uncovering
love letters God folds up
in whispers and giggles of flesh.
Immured, in a pink breath
hips are found wholly and graspable.
The body is a knowing
how to round lollipop lips
and satin slips of fingertips.
Apprehensions about small-houred
questions are detained with bonds, held
in the cuff of caress, and limb.
The body is a teacher, new to the class room
looming once dead creations with silken
threads, and braiden hair.
She dares to revive fresher sciences
as he offers the palpate of himself
for her to learn how to be alive.
This undresses an understanding
of how the body truly learns.
