if you don't take time...it takes you
hey
is this a good time?
see…
I got this question
actually...
more of a suggestion
but you keep pushing me aside
shutting me down
as soon as I open my mouth
can we talk?
no…?
well…then when?
I don’t understand
why can’t you just listen?
it’s important
tomorrow?
but that’s what you said last night
and the one before
yet here we are again
you walking away from what I’m asking
really…
it will only take a few minutes
no…I see
everything else
is more important than me
you...

Universal ultimatum
They don't know me and I don't know them"
The way it's always been since way back when and the ones who do still really don't deep down,
they don't know the dark secrets I've never been able to delete which stay on repeat in my mind.
To the rest they're undetectable,
out of sight despite any connection with the others I can't help but sense a separation keeping me secluded
leaving me unable to think,
unable to speak, a fear of looking weak.
Each week it's weirder and weirder
as well as mundane and unfulfilling.
Quite a special skill it is ...

I don't like to think in riddles, because I am easily confused
A nation of cynics, racists and drinkers,
Still wonder why, we can't think like the thinkers,
Of ancient Greece, like Plato and Socrates;
Whose minds were clearly, open and free.
Do you ever think in riddles? And turn time upon its head?
If the mocking bird becomes a killer,
Does it leave the innocent for dead?
Or does it simply do, as nature intended?
The strong will survive, the weaker one we shall eat.
Destroy your baby, to feed its sibling,
This is what, Mother Nature is saying,
To the blinded scholar, of...

Militia
Sure this is genuine? "
The words betrayed his gaze. The former and the latter took choiced turns as the disguisers kept murdering the pace between the geographic setting that held the northern alliance from Shamar's militia.
Their hands were up, bellicose of veiled implications on the part of the northern alliance. That was not as expected. That wouldn't have happened at the sanity of the mental horizon. Something must be wrong. But, what turn the wrong took, none could trace, not even Lambz,the leader of the ODA 596.

somewhere far between
a maze.
a milky center.
a pussy spread wide
and pink.
the mamba's mouth
the dreaded
love
perches
in the windows
like a cat
somewhere
far between
before
it all began
before
we became
hardened
liquid jolting
into this
exact
consciousness.
before the scream
of the telephone
before my
nights dreams
we're
of betrayal
and torment.

the mesh
welcome to the mesh
the fabric throughout this space
where thoughts are collected
it covers every inch of this place
it spans out and flexes
like a blown up rubber balloon
but it contracts just the same
at least that’s what we assume
but also it’s bending or stretching
all the fine threads of our reality
pulling itself down like wool
creating some sense of duality
no matter how thinly veiled
we all must truly be
even if the fabric weren’t thin
we still would never see
...

Soul Mate
Accept you without knowing
Feelings silent between us
chemistry
Sexual movement
We elevate
It’s time
No starving
Starving for you
Like starving for food
Your instinct
Sexual appetite
Touch familiar
How you know my story
Your body becomes mine
I’m not afraid
You never false
I’m real
Arms open
What shame
Nude you test me
Erection is there
Unspoken respect
Lust has kicked in
You said I’m not broken
I felt a deep peace
You don’t limit this
Your flow is...

veil.
if a human tries to conceal
all the multifaceted tones
they have about themselves,
it only comes back to
haunt them.

soft goodbyes
hey there, you little dreamer
you think you’re such a pretty girl
we all know you’re quite the schemer
trying to escape the crumbling world
dear old time will wear you down
and your shackles will start to rust
all this time you’ve sang a sirens song
but it’s only brought you lust
hey there, you little wildflower
i know you think you have it all
where no mere flower will sprout
you just grow up all the walls
they’ll try to rip out your roots
and try to tear down every vine
you never really...
