There is an invasive plant
that has crept across our land
Won't use chemical removal
gotta pull it all by hand
This seemingly innocuous creeping runner
goes by the botanical name Calissia
And when it has all gone, perhaps the chorus for a song
Hey!! I'm never gonna miss-ya
How lucky I feel to live for real,
melancholia that is hard to reveal
imagine.scribble. gives me chill
Live in austerity, an innocuous thrill
How lovely I feel to have this pen in my hand
you wanna look inside of me, and watch me write?
See it in a different point of view
Cause you only got one side of me, and nothin's new
Shocking to feel a positive charge
Unusual sensation in my heart
you wanna look inside of me, and watch me write?
Don't be surprised with a big invisible spark.
Well, I had my shots – also my booster,
And ain't been near afeared as I used-ter.
Wearin' a mask
Ain't no hard task.
Think old Doc Fauci is a true-bluester.
Sorting through photos
And things she gave me
Throughout the years,
My chest becomes heavy
And my throat seizes
As the pain of our reality
Digs into me.
Innocuous things like
a notebook, chakra stones
or a gift card to the movies
Hurt the most,
So much more than the
Sentimental, valuable things.
I don’t know why.
I am crippled by these things,
Guilt stabbing at me
Until my eyes burn with tears.
The innocuous things
Are what hold me prisoner
To what is left of our
Broken relationship.
Though perspicuous from your tongue, your inurbane words flatter no one.
With their capricious nature you can't see how they alienate your heart from your mind,
yet your transitory thoughts still gravitate toward malignant ideas
which dissipate in rapid secession with each scapegoat that you find.

I am laughing loud today
Feigning all my innocence
Come and compete with me
In this race of laughing
With your innocuous laugh
Why I am laughing
No one knows the reason
Not even myself
Yet I am laughing loud
‘Coz laugh gets me to laugh
Thinking I should stop
But that very thought
Titillates me inside
And I again
Burst into a loud laugh
Putting my nails into the holes of my nose
Why I am laughing though no one knows
Not even myself
Yet I continue to laugh
As if I am possessed by an innocent ghost
.
Purity
innocence
not touched by
the left
Only hern wanting
with digits reaching
With lips
wanting lips
throbbing heart
and
her honest smile
Upon my lap
my treasure find
my lift
her press
our dancing hips
Purity
innocence
that thank you
kiss
