Mermaids on Land
It happens once a year
When the weather turns warm
Both men and women gather
Sometimes they swarm!
You can find them on both sides of the hill
Yelling encouragements and cheering
After their alcohol sets in,
You hear lewd comments and jeering
The women who compete
Are determined and stopless
Their boobs bouncing all over
Because they run topless!
It's a sight to be seen
There's women of all sizes
Some people are shocked
There's always lots of surprises!
The winner from each age group ...

reframed
do not regret
or mourn a
broken heart
it's life's way of
reminding you
that you actually
gave a shit about
someone or something
or mourn a
broken heart
it's life's way of
reminding you
that you actually
gave a shit about
someone or something

Reality Is Mind
Reality Is Mind
The function
of the form is
to house
that function.
The form
is its own function.
The CTMU:
The back
of the head
evolved eyes
on its blindside,
knowing exactly
what it would find:
the Self-Directed,
still evolving.
Submitting
to reality
and dominating
our vanities,
we bring
all sides
of ourselves
into inner,
integrated
harmony.

The Green Classroom
Lying on the soil of the forest
My refuge and my sanctuary
All my senses sharpened
Attentively observing the wildlife
I become a humble student of
All the mysteries of nature
Snail shells, ferns and hexagonal
Honeycombs teach me about
Sacred Geometry
From birds, howling wolves,
Rustling leaves and buzzing insects
I get to know the harmony of music
Nature's circle of
Birth, death and rebirth
Allows me insights in religion
Trees with their strong bonds and
Supportive relationships
Are my...

Esta Narcissus
Esta a childhood friend in a crowded room
she reigns with flair thinking she’s a queen
or at least a princess with her silken hair
her face aglow with ready laughter
her smiles are wide her eyes sparkles
soft spoken but with sharp-edged words
like a whirlwind she spins her charms
behind her eyes inwardly scared
during each quiet moment she knows
she is not liked by all around
as slight drizzles as morning dew
flitting butterfly, fleeting in every round
her stories remind me of Munchausen
a trip...
she reigns with flair thinking she’s a queen
or at least a princess with her silken hair
her face aglow with ready laughter
her smiles are wide her eyes sparkles
soft spoken but with sharp-edged words
like a whirlwind she spins her charms
behind her eyes inwardly scared
during each quiet moment she knows
she is not liked by all around
as slight drizzles as morning dew
flitting butterfly, fleeting in every round
her stories remind me of Munchausen

puzzled
such a beautiful thing we have
why do we kill each other
beauty is everywhere
and we turn it ugly
hate is winning
love is losing
so fucking
confusing
why do we kill each other
beauty is everywhere
and we turn it ugly
hate is winning
love is losing
so fucking
confusing

Dumb Things Narcissists Say # 2
Come to daddy
said the middle aged man
to his senior-citizen pet
the pet looks up
then flopped back down.
The man repeats himself
then says, you know daddy
has a bad leg, like wtf?

Icing On The Cake
The clearest thing life has to offer
Inevitably, you will live
But without any hints or tips
One day the gonna say you are late
How many dives how many lies?
I deserve one more bite of my last pie
Before I die
Diary of a born rebound guy
Who will buy?
True or fake
Death's the icing on any cake
Do you actually know what it takes?
So always sigh deep only when the day breaks
Living, wondering when it is my due date
Let's set
But I need nor bet
We have never met
Before, but we will all die...
Inevitably, you will live
But without any hints or tips
One day the gonna say you are late
How many dives how many lies?
I deserve one more bite of my last pie

True or fake
Death's the icing on any cake

So always sigh deep only when the day breaks
Living, wondering when it is my due date

Blunt Force Pin
those other sites say
I can't fucking use profanity
how in the mother fuck
am I supposed to express
how I'm fucking feeling
when shit heads want to use restraints
this ain't BDSM
but I sure would like to write about it
tying up a slut
then fucking her in the butt
showering her off with piss in the end
is that too much?
I don't fucking know
but I want the freedom to say it
how old are we?
we ain't 8 years old
we're fucking grown ass adults
cursing brings me closer to God

... while under the influence
you pulled me over (to you)
asked me for my name
told me I was being detained
didn’t tell me why
but said you could do it anyway
told me to follow you with my eyes
and to walk the line
I did everything you said
After all of your tests…
You told me to blow hard
Not to stop until you said…
But you never said stop!

By the light of the fire we write
Tears refuse to fall
Words remain unspoken
The potent mind
Rusts in soulessness
The aces are held
So are the kings and queens
Held as they deal
Without faces
Everybody loses
Details, details in truth
Crash of sensibiltiy
Mowing the grass
Pulling out the flowering weeds
Sheltering the undergrowth
For reptilian love
What should be done is forgotten
What is done is murderous
What could be done, is buried
Under tons of wasted thoughts
All we need is taken
Stolen and...
