This is it
I will forever exist,
born inside a lazarus pit,
born to brooding and wit,
I'm a natural at this,
you're words' are only disastrous.
I like to unglue and to strip,
to watch the gears and the bits,
as they move and they twist.
It took years to master this,
you took your shots and they missed.
Even if you do get a grip
and I do choose to loosen my mitts,
you couldn't wade through my mist.
I'm so fluid, one drop you'll be rinsed. ...

Story to glory
Bored of life, thought I could take a chance
In search of changing things or just my stance
I took a decision, for no reason, with the least precision
Went on a trek,that I used to call a nuisance.
Exaggeration, Life threatening situation, no preparation
With no idea of what would happen
Met some strangers, who could pose some danger
but we ended up being each other's weapon
Filled with zeal, we started
With luggage on back and hope in heart, we departed
No matter the count, if you fall, you shall rise
was the only...

Thou art ( but) a sheep
An unknown destination, a significant being crossed my morning ride
The bus stops at the small terminal, and where usually my eyes meet hills
Now stands a white truck, the blue letters glow in the faint sun
There you are, Ram in your cage,
Two dark coals glow into my soul
I am shaken by the strength of your stare
Once Sumerians crowned you as sentient beings and you were a Bovidae King.
As you grazed fertile green fields where you held masked balls with the ladies ...
The bus stops at the small terminal, and where usually my eyes meet hills
Now stands a white truck, the blue letters glow in the faint sun
There you are, Ram in your cage,
Two dark coals glow into my soul
I am shaken by the strength of your stare
Once Sumerians crowned you as sentient beings and you were a Bovidae King.

Where we can't travel
Where is it that you have gone I know only wherever it I can't travel. Where to start I have no clue so much to say and yet my thoughts I can't unravel. Life can be so cruel here one day and gone the next. I have learnt to say what you need to now is the best rule. I know you know I love you yet my last words were unfair. I should of listened when you said something was not right. Yet I did what I thought was best I never knew it would be our last night. The Doctors said you were fine and the cause was in your head. I wish that I would of listened to you instead. They said your stroke was...

(1. People like to assume academics are weak, pristine all the fucking time, dupe candidate and unsuspecting ie not street savvy-wrong.

3. Part of us feels like a myth so we have to check in frequently...asking myself did all of that really happen?

Amended: as nakedness of what is loses itself into nights and days.
Its strange to suddenly notice things
how their undying intensity turns into
a ménage of something else- as if
carriers of an indecipherable rawness
quite literally, if you can understand
the feeling of language...
i am the other one with no definition,
guided by your one through eight
senses -indescribable -
how you strip love from your skin to
suffuse it within my own
‘then, there stands life, ...

I’m Gonna Confess
Geoff, I’m gonna confess something to you right here and now, so don’t blame me, but congratulate yourself. I mean that in the best possible way. You know I don’t hold back, you know I haven’t believed in a woman deliberately trying to be mysterious since before you and I met. Like it’s a religion or a cult. And it all turns yeasty like false news because the mystery goes stale after it’s kept shelved and unused for so long, the cow herself forgets, and her milk dries up. But that’s not all that evaporates...
Yeah no I’m okay. You know how I get, and I always...

poetry is always in the details.. .
sometimes, she dances outside
of her skin as if she knows she carries
the plasma of illusion ..such (beauty)
remains ungrammatical, and
unstructured
she oft sits and have a cup of tea with
me.-a magnolia of sighs bloom within
-im in awe as i listen as if an exchange
for knowledge, it is what brings us to
a degree of peaceful terms of painful
possibilities
i converse with those unseen in the
aether...

Hello, DU.
I know, I haven't been on a lot, though I promised that I'd be back more often, writing more, posting more. I even put it in the "goals of the year" of my bullet journal. Well, with how things are going, I think it'd be more approppriate to call it my bullshit journal. I guess, if you don't care about my bs, it's best that you stop reading now.
I found Deep Underground Poetry when I was 16, as I've mentioned, I think, a million times before. A wee girl, wide-eyed to the strange new world before her. Now, I'm a 21-year-old woman. Jaded, consuming memes and...

Poetry Lessons, By Matthew and Sky. (Oh God!).
Hi Kids,
When Skylander asked me if I could help her with a poem last week, I thought this girl's either crazy, or insane. Come to find out she's a little of both. (But she's also a wicked incredible girl, but don't tell her that, she'll get a big head). Anyway, we thought 'hmmm, we have such a preponderance of poetic power(eliteration, or something like that), that perhaps we should write something together to expose ourselves, and pass this knowledge onto other aspiring poets who don't possess such knowledge, or perhaps have had that knowledge re-possessed by the Federal Government...
