I feel this wave of rage
why put yourself inside that cage
turing you in sweet liquid
bottled perfume with you in it
they sell you for a lesser price
cross the counter to lesser wives
even when they smell like you
there better lies will shine through
and I’m left in this room
with an empty bottle of perfume
still your stuck in my nose
in my mind and in my clothes
O, vilest of vile high-haughty poems
To you professors’ studies are so oft homes
The fetid waters of PhD’s, nekkid, you swim well in
~ Though the proper home for you is in the trash bin
L uscious liquid
U ndulates in the pouring
B ubbles to tickle
R ibs from the
I nside out with a golden
C alming, cooling composure effect
A lcohol free (sometimes) yet
N ever disappoints especially during
T hermal reduction as a bonus
There’s tar on the floor,
Two, or three, or five, or more,
Don’t know why I’m counting, there’s nothing in store.
Sticky and dark, there’s nothing to read
You don’t rid of it, it will only breed.
Strong, loud, conscious
Living, living, living.
Lend me your emerald ears
Hear my liquid love song
Drown fears lighten tears teal
Revealing the deepest chocolate heart
I long for you like bird blue
Craves the wind beneath wings
For you make me fly and cry and sing
Without caring for onyx opinion
You know my naked truth and smooth
The rough patches of my past into pearls
Despite being a neon naughty girl
You see me as good worthy of love
You accept me as amethyst queen
And king the joy you bring is heavenly
I peel layers of me for you to consume
However you want I am a bloom
Of passionate flowers wilting from famine
Your sunny kisses mix with rainstorms
That our bodies create and conform
I can’t live without you and I don’t want to
Grow old with me in time and dream
All the things that you want to do
Tell me how we can be better together
For solo is not in the cards dealt us
We may never part but if we do
My heart will be stronger for loving you
Has conjured a new fierce spirit
That God has blessed us with
Efficiency, anxiety
Result, vanity
Success, burnout
Alienation, disguise
Unconscious, relapse
Control, coact
Apologist: own merit!
Arbitrary, reclusive
Circus, bread
Conscious, blurred
Acceptance.
Commotion, trivialization
Affection, weakness
Love, liquid
Affliction, medication
People can no longer
Human beings.
- Bruna Beatrice.
Headfirst into the sea he found her,
Madison caught Allen with her kiss;
Love left to surge bound them forever;
Free to be with her in this abyss,
Allen could breathe no trouble at all;
This realization was pure bliss;
His movements a nonverbal catcall,
the mermaid grins taking no offense;
She welcomes this monumental fall;
Fathoms down in a liquid romance,
elated with what never made sense.
He loved me with a liquid love
that never weakened, disappeared or vanished
He poured it into me with affection
so deep it felt like the ocean drank me
He loved me with no fences, bars or walls
not for one moment did he waver
His love was more profound than love itself
intense as the touch of a burning bush
He loved me from above and from below
not even once did I have to walk alone
inside this Universe of spirit and bone
He loved me with Angels at His side
and with a razor mouth that spoke all truth
Words of connection that only God could whisper
it was then that I knew, He was drawing me home
with His liquid love...
Lost in this Little, big world
Of nightly sweats
I see a road sign that diverts
My attention to swerve
Away and Wake up
From the Reality around me ...
I just need a break
From it all, for awhile
My eyes cross as I reach
For the Blue something or other
Ahaed of me
I stop time for real this time
Because it’s my time, me time
To be real but not really
Because I feel like I’m dreaming
With my eyes wide open
And everything seems so strange
Around me as if
God is trying to get my attention
Somehow
And for some reason everything
Smells like plastic
Leaving a metal aftertaste in my mouth ...
I hear music in the distant clouds
And my stomach rumbles like thunder
Perhaps I’m hungry for something new
Something different
Where the earth beneath me is putty
Sucking me in and averting my attention ...
Reminding me
I am Grateful to be Alive.
Eros-Philia-Ludus,
Pragma!!!
Valence released,
We are like atomic bonds,
And I am the Squared Hydrogen,
She's the Oxygen.
Held up together in the field,
She breathes life into me.
And liquid as we flow,
Solid we remain just equivalent.
April 6—Beverage, libation, liquid…
Daily Ritual Drinks Drink
in the morning
I drink a cup
of snarling hot coffee
while watching the news.
in the afternoon
I shift to tea
either earl gray
or herbal tea.
a day without Earl Gray
is not a good day.
at sunset
I drink red wine
with my wife.
as the evening
shifts into night
I drink rum
or whiskey.
to eat the day
right.
Lost in a bottle
Blessed with an all seeing eye
Pain out of the window
Inconsequential, to live or die
The world's your oyster
And mankind your playground
To see with the eyes that's not your own
Silence is the new sound
Unhinged crackling
Laughter from the depth of the soul
Smiling like a fool
Being wild and free, was your only goal
A way to forget
A way to cry
A way to be happy
To live and not to die
Like a genie in a bottle
Did the stranger come to me
Let me take three more drinks
And maybe, I'll set you free.
Stick with me like caramel
Feel as colorful or colorless
As your mood dictates
Watching the sun rise
In your electric eyes
Makes my heart smile
I need your lavender liquid love
Like plants need water
I love you sweetheart
No matter how slow
The seasons roll
Time is measured by your attention
Sun rises orange in your arms
Mid day craves sun high on brown face
Sun sets red to black caressing back
And the moon swoons sensually
Just above the horizon and we
Fall so deep into a peaceful sleep
Fresh out of the military, and oh the things I've seen
From blood, and death, and everything in between
Don't know where to turn, and not sure how to cope
Not sure if I want to live, wonder if there's any hope
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
The divorce is final, and all is set and done
What do I do now, do I just turn and run?
Colors have lost their sheen, and now just look grey
Crippling into massive debt, without a source of pay
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
The money has dried up, and the move made
Moving back with the parents, humility card played
No leads on a job, and isolating myself inside
A piece of me is gone, I can tell that it's died
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
I can't keep going on through life this way
Do I turn back to faith, and begin to pray?
Only time will tell, but this can't become a crutch
I just want to stop drinking, is that asking too much?
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
Liquid pellets
Pellets slam
Slam gently
Gently into
Into the
The leafy
Leafy mire
Mire seeking
Seeking sanctuary
Sanctuary on
On vandalized
Vandalized park
Park benches
Benches retreating
Retreating into
Into gentle
Gentle liquid
Liquid silence
