A Dream
I had a dream last night,
It seemed so real, like my eyes were open to sight,
About somehow ending up in another dimension,
To a different place, I had never been,
A place, I could not quite pin.
It was like the world I knew,
But slightly different, too.
It was a dimension where I had never existed,
But when I brought my things, they existed,
As if they were transfered seamlessly,
I had my wallet, therefore my bank account was there,
I had my phone, therefore my notes, bookmarks, and history were there....
But it was different, it...

Hello DUP,
I have an issue you see?
I have poems show up on my feed,
No way of knowing the tags before I read,
Unless I were to go all the way to the poet's page,
And that fills me with a sense of rage,
I am sex averse/repulsed, and have PTSD too,
This isn't just a bunch of hullabaloo,
Meaning I go from hating reading about/seeing sex/overly sexual things,
To hating reading about/seeing sex/overly sexual things,
And am also reminded of times
As a child and young teen sometimes,
When that kind of stuff would pop up on my...

Beginning and End and Beginning Again
My life is a long time to me,
But short to the whole world,
An individual, but not isolated from what I see,
A part of this infinite world,
The cycle that keeps on turning,
The linear, cyclical, path of time,
I am born to die, and I die to be born and living,
I guess I may be in my prime,
But still, anything at the right moment can kill me,
For I am but a fragile human being,
Given the ability to plan ways to extend my life,
No matter how trapped, or how freeing
Is this long, but short life.
I will be missed by those who's lives...

Lone Crusader
Standing alone against the world,
To which a heart had once been unfurled,
Pain after pain, lie after lie,
Causing empathy to dry,
To inspissate by a boiling blood,
Self and others lied to,
All for greed, and power too.
A need to stop others from causing pain,
A need for revenge for a self, now slain,
A husk of what once was, a mere shell,
A soul broken, and a mind unwell.
If violence is their language,
And their dialect, carnage,
Screaming louder is the only way for them to listen,
And they will be made to...

Jump Across The Sun
Jump across the sun,
Duck under the flare arcs for fun,
Shuffle across the side,
Then leap before your pants, legs cut wide,
Go up in flames,
Like a Molotov or the flare of a gun,
Music blasting like a bomb,
Beat and bass pumping hard without a qualm,
Like heavy machinery in the starry cosmos,
With the sun as one of many celestial dynamos.
Duck under the flare arcs for fun,
Shuffle across the side,
Then leap before your pants, legs cut wide,
Go up in flames,

Music blasting like a bomb,

Like heavy machinery in the starry cosmos,
With the sun as one of many celestial dynamos.

All That's Left
An amber streetlight shines upon a skull,
He had no more room, the monster was full.
Devouring the innocent like flesh bowls,
So that machines may have their own souls.
He had no more room, the monster was full.
Devouring the innocent like flesh bowls,
So that machines may have their own souls.

Glossed Over and Forgotten Yet Again....
The online world is a dangerous landscape,
Full of crashing waves, like a rough and raging seascape.
Full of trolls, barbarians, and cliques,
Ignoring you with their clicks,
Even in open, community spaces,
They show their true faces,
Ignoring you after you jump in
To the conversation
When there was a lull,
To them, you were null.
They were not asking for specific people to talk,
Yet it seems only amongst each other they squawk.
Glossed over, yet again,
Forgotten yet again,
As if I had written in chalk, and it was washed...
Full of crashing waves, like a rough and raging seascape.

When there was a lull,

They were not asking for specific people to talk,
Yet it seems only amongst each other they squawk.
Glossed over, yet again,
Forgotten yet again,

Lost Amongst The Stars
I am lost amongst the stars when I think of you,
Lost in the sea of space, when I see you,
Feeling weightless,
And yet courage-less.
Heart feels heavy,
Brain spins, and eyes feel hazy,
I wish to the gods above,
That I could just shower you with love,
Just squeeze you in hugs, and give encouragement,
But I'm afraid of your acknowledgement,
I wish I could fill your life with kind gestures,
True compliments, and work favors,
That I could help you out with just about anything you needed,
Regardless of the response it yielded.
I...

Spark
Deep within me there is a spark,
I walk a fine line between light and dark,
What will I do with this spark?
I teeter over the edge of this line,
Between fine, and not fine.
Will I light up the dark?
Or will I set fire to the light, with my spark?
Will I let the shadows consume me?
Or will I let the light set me free?
Will I destroy the angels within me?
Or will I become the demon I was meant to be?
I walk a fine line between light and dark,
What will I do with this spark?
I teeter over the edge of this line,
Between fine, and not fine.
Will I light up the dark?
Or will I set fire to the light, with my spark?
Will I let the shadows consume me?
Or will I let the light set me free?
Will I destroy the angels within me?
Or will I become the demon I was meant to be?

Just a Fan, I Guess
Years ago, I fell for you,
I fell so hard, this is true,
I cried over you,
I smiled because of you,
I'll always care about you,
But you must know this,
I never wanted to say this,
I may care for you and about you,
I'll always be a fan of your work and you,
But I've found something true,
Not just because of attainability,
But because of sustainability,
I know I'd be happy with you
But she's happy with you,
And I've found one,
Whom I know is the right one,
The best one...

Who Do You Think You Are?
You just came to us in the laundromat,
Asking to take my mom's photo, just like that,
She was playing ukulele around the machines
As we three, her kids and her, sit in a row like sardines,
So that no one would hear her, she is still a bit anxious,
I'm not so delirious,
But she's a bit too trusting,
I saw you, trying to hide your laughing,
Whatcha gonna do with that photo, huh?
Make a meme, to make fun of her, huh?
Although she did give her Instagram name,
So you could tag her, should you post the photo, all the same.

Trouble
T'was the earth's toothy grin full of razers
Reaching out for us all
Ashamed of what we've become, of how hard we did fall,
Swoops us all up,
Scoops out our guts, and eats them all up.
Makes us jump ship at the first sign of trouble,
After years of living in a bubble
Even if, only for a portion of life,
And then we spew excuses, with them, we are rife.
As soon as trouble strikes,
We jump up and leave, shouting, "YIKES!"
Then the pain and trouble moves on to someone new,
Growing stronger with each victim they chew up and spit out,...
