Rebel
I was born
Dreamlike fuzzed ethereal edges
Give way to
Cold hard ledges
Take me back
Into my warm cocoon
Fast forward
Grade school officials
Warnings of retribution
Not following directions
But lots of potential
Yes, parents are in the picture
Yes, they care
Care what others think
I didn't
Born free
But not free to think
So I took it for myself
The constraints of thinking
Outside the box wasn't enough
So my mind now rests easy
Filled with...

A toy
I was just a toy for you,
you broke me more than once,
jokingly strangled by a pillow,
stabbed with a hot poker
Arms and legs were torn off,
a big gash in the head,
and I was thrown by the road,
at the mercy of fate
Do you remember the day
You brought me home,
do you remember playing?
we did not know the end to
happiness
But one day you changed,
Began to play in a different way,
and honestly you knew how
to take out your pain on me
I know that you just forgot,
I don’t blame...

WALK AMONG THE TOMBS
AWAKENING
Taking a few minutes
to escape from the asphalt
world, media hype, and
pressure for more,
I spend time walking
through the graveyard with
tombs dating back 3 centuries.
The weather has worn the epitaphs
off hundreds; time has faded
the angels engraved in stone.
The newer graves have pictures
of the departed loved ones.
Some graves cost thousands,
vaults millions, and some free
to paupers. All share the same end:
DEATH
Millions have been spent
on fading and dying flowers.
The most...

about corona
It seems that the beginning was part of reflection and introspection,
I write this poem in a hurry. It's important.
No,
Draw the line correctly, respect the foolishness,
I can't see anything
Look at everything and look at it.
Anyway, I want to say
Crystals, crystals repel bacteria.
Everyone, hold it until the medicine comes out.
To have it.
You wouldn't dream of "opinions" popping out of poetry, but I'm telling the most important story.

SKATING ON THE CENTER
SKATING ON THE CENTER
I'm not going to let you bring me down
as the other side rises up in a tide
to slide back down to the ground
I see and I saw a world masturbating
as I balance in the center of the see-saw skating-----

Indifference
You hear me but don’t listen
You look at me but don’t see me
You talk at me not to me
I hear you and listen
I look and I wait
One day you’ll wonder
Where has she gone
Without realising what you did
When you pushed me away
With your ignorance
And indifference
My day is nearly here
I will be a person again
I will find myself
I will rediscover that lost part of me
Then you’ll know and maybe you’ll
finally listen
You look at me but don’t see me
You talk at me not to me
I hear you and listen
I look and I wait
One day you’ll wonder
Where has she gone
Without realising what you did
When you pushed me away
With your ignorance
And indifference
My day is nearly here
I will be a person again
I will find myself
I will rediscover that lost part of me
Then you’ll know and maybe you’ll
finally listen

Crystal seems to be good for corona!
I will write this in a hurry.
I draw the line correctly,
There is also I respect, and sorrow.
I can't see anything
Look at everything,
If I look.
Please remember
Crystal seems to be good for corona.
It seems that the beginning was part of reflection and introspection,
in addition
"hatred"
There was a change to a natural disaster
Being sincere from a lie
At first, scholars thought of "words"...

Depression's Trinity (NoPoo 62)
Short on dignity
Flirted with death
Solid rock depression
Has weighed heavy
No amount of chipping away
Lessens the impact
**
In every breath
A battle rages silently
Reason's place is shadowed here
Hidden behind brown eyes
spiraling pain continues onwards
***
Apathy spinning its web
Making it more difficult
To move any distance
Slowly decaying sanity
An empty loneliness
Bites down

Desperate(ly) seeking [humility's fickle death rattle]
A humble rose
of sheer desperation
in a vapid
r a g e
of sunlit clamor
fickle to grow
in that
imperfect soil
or even
such a prideful request
to bloom;
Beautiful,
unto thine own hubris
and only then,
in stark
thorny
spiked-fullness
of forceful cruelty
twice multiplied
Once,
so sweetly scented~
now,
best left to wild abandon
Free and heady
in such alloyed air,
bellowing justly acid rains,
from strangest
unattended creationists
which wetted ...

Dos Cervezas Philosophica
I wake up each morning to a world
so alien to that of my birth
I’m unsure I can even live in it,
unsure if I care to try.
How many men through the centuries
have uttered similar thoughts –
living lives of perceived futility,
each morrow a dark, cold, threatening abyss.
These ARE just thoughts, mere words –
floating clouds in the sky, blowing to & fro’;
And yet thoughts have such power, do they not,
when we take them to be the truth?
The world was never as I perceived it to be
when I was but an innocent...

Scattered memories
Memories distorted
Scattered
Puzzle pieces missing
World on the verge
Seductive suggestions
Where are we and why
Dulled synapses
Sick friend
Vomit handprint
Lots of people
Yet, I'm alone in a room
No, there's one other
Learning to be independent
But I've chained myself
And swallowed the key
Scattered

"new" year
each year continues the same as before; captive to a shot clock, and ability to score ....
news, commercials; told what to believe; time amongst another, more or less grief....
expectations more or less high or low; subjectivity to the same old "show"....
peace almost always guaranteed, while left alone from the rush of "society"
a "race" that never ends; push, pulls, and pits; tough pill to swallow-seems to get no better than this....
