The Continuum of Ideal & Real Self. (for me)
I'm feeling more real as I am.
More real than I'v ever been.
A continuum, spectrum like exists.
Between the Ideal self & the real self.
A spectrum that were all on.
The Ideal self, is the person.
We think others want us to be.
Conforming to this image.
We collude with others to fit in.
What ever the cost.
The true self, not to others.
Rather to our true selves.
As nature meant us to be.
Every time we collude with others.
Our perspective...

Silence
Giving up on your inner impulse!
Letting the word you would have said in the silent.
Feels like biting up your teeth.
Chewing them.
As you sense the rigid particles with your tongue.
And hear the cracking sounds.
Going on swallowing and saying:
«I am not hungry, I just ate!»
Letting the word you would have said in the silent.
Feels like biting up your teeth.
Chewing them.
As you sense the rigid particles with your tongue.
And hear the cracking sounds.
Going on swallowing and saying:
«I am not hungry, I just ate!»

She Ain’t Broken (brokentitanium)
Her poetry
A tender heart
Wrapped in bad ass
Did you know this woman can sing?
Her voice is powerful
She eases herself into your soul
Brings you home
To the place you want to be
Discovering
You
I can see her
Laying in her hammock
Penning her poetry, her songs
Bringing us along
Life and healing aren’t always easy
But she makes it relatable
So you don’t feel so alone
Thank you, k

intermediate hours
these
intermediate
hours
look back
at me,
i burrow
myself into
early
thoughts,
wanting to
get them
placed
before
my eyelids
flutter and
surrender
to this
long length
of hour's
movements.

Frog-otten
The frogs like to speak to me
They tell me lots of cool things
Once they said you loved books
And claim you only wear striped socks
They say you play pretend with them
And take them on little adventures
But no matter how much I talk
To the flies
To the ladybugs
To the grasshoppers
And even the frogs
I will never, ever get the confidence
To compliment you.

Nobody, Nothing, Nowhere
He walks down the street at night
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She

The Adventures of Mr Wazzlepot’s Drinking Club
Mr Wazzlepot said to Frank Toefondle who said to Rose Ricenshaw who said to Mr R. Bumutton who said to Fred Lead who said to Crantoc Berryweather who said to Mark Steerwater, “Go and find me a boar!”
This is so boring writing this delightful drivel
Meanwhile at Mr Wazzleeeeeepot’s place…
The meeting place is old and familiar almost as familiar as Mr Wazzlepot’s old white mutton chops
It has a generous amount of space and afforded sea views and a turntable which doubled up as an emergency washing up liquid dispenser
Outside there was some...

Poem
I have this ache
It must be ancient I guess
I climax when
I tell you
What goes
There
Electronically seductive
In this dark space
I call
My head
Sortounded by curlies
And stuff.

Know Your Place, Apparently
It’s been gone a long time
Dead before I was born
Freedom everlasting
A nice thought, now forlorn
A bit of truth
Turned commercial success
Your vision compromised
Into a tiny hope that was ‘blessed’
In these troubled times
Image is the ultimate factor
The words, not to be considered
Extremity is the master
So toss aside all your thoughts
Absorb the big man and his sneer
Won’t the world be such a beautiful place
If we all just obey
and live in fear
Keep the minds simple ...

passion
can you
imagine
life without
passion,
no matter
where it
came from,
no matter
how it's
used,
i have
felt the
sacred
flame,
leaned
against it
before and
felt it
holding me
up once
in awhile.

TEACH ME YOU
Just like the sun rises and sets, I shall seek and find.
Petals unfurl slow and wide; if I find you, I will hold and never let go.
I will nurture you just like a farmer is gentle with his garden.
And do only what's right to make you think I am divine.
Teach me you, what's the routine to your glow?
I am here standing longing to know the formulae that has all of us falling so slow.
Can I be your guide?
Teach me about your landscapes inside then.
So that I can feel the portholes and have a smooth run,
How about the topography of your...

Sevanteen Sacred Whispers
1. I have never felt the cold kiss of Jack Frost upon my lips, yet I have always desired it
2. Now that the fear subsides, now ice can’t really hide, I would like to tell to you…
3. Absolutely nothing
4. Is scared, to his touch
5. Field and fern, I knew as much, but deeper he hides in the mind, frozen and solid, so divine
6. Forget the acoustic, shallows consumed, dead now, the aunt of cold, distant yet deadly
7. You as rich as you are surely, surely not such a complexion, yet forget me not, yet dying...
