Long Disgusts Poems

My dog's as smart as a geek.
He can bark in English, Arabic, and Greek.
He’s expert in canine mathematics,

and is fluent in bow-wow doublespeak.
And yours?

Would it be okay if later today
I brought Bixby...

Out of all the words in the world 
I have a pure hatred for one 
Four letters that can change a life
Four letters that can lead up to death 
Four letters which will never sound...

(The Accused now gives evidence,
coming fresh from the vigil torture,
which involves sleep deprivation.
His arrogant, careless manner
doesn't win him any friends.)


I think the Court will understand
if I’m a little under par.
The vigil thing!  I...

The air stale, thick and cloudy with years of gin soaked carpet odor and cigarette vapor of  inconsiderate drag and chain smokers.
The colors smear together and the music disconnected and hypnotic.
The smell of flat...

A Troubled Soul

They use these three words for countless endeavors, a face with no soul and a body with no mind
Impaled by my inside thoughts, my heart and mind dueling each other for control, a...

You can feel the darkness that screw your heart.. 
You can feel your hair whirling with the dust above your eyes..
You are shattering to the sight of your reflecting face into the mirror.. 
You are...

being the recollection of a conversation between myself as I was trying to enjoy a piece of

Voices in my head are babbling everything vicious.

Time to let loose and not let the super reign over us with...

You asked 
about the world, 
 I see it...
all these years, 
you don't know me 
I hold my tongue, 
afraid  
if  answered  
safe but not sound...

 My eyes, the world is

and my grandma became paralyzed

What if I'm wrong?
One of these broken messes
Always a ghost in the corner 
The fractures never healed 
What if these jagged edges are just hiding behind the gold inlay?

What if the ash 
Of what I...

This world 
This world
Is so far gone
Every day I wonder
What the hell’s gone wrong

All this corruption deep inside
Every word’s another lie
Broken promises 
Are just another part
Of every person’s 
Broken heart 

We all point the shame
While...

let your eyes dialate, Close them tightly as so not to

keen, Trying to forget them would not be...

UNCANNY
A poem arises firmly from my thoughts. 
I can see it reflected in my adversary's mind as well.
 Mine is undeniably poetic, but theirs had an unsettling quality,
Mindful individuals with unusual liabilities!
Those two or three...

I didn’t come out of my mother clothed
I was born nude
I shower nude
I change nude

My body is not sexual
Those who paint it to be are
Being nude isn’t being inappropriate
We were made this way

Only the wretched...

Don't whisper in my ear, with the same mouth you use to speak harshly to them
Don't caress me gently with the same hands that you use so roughly with them
Don't pay me attention, when they...

I have been called a sex god
It has been said that
I radiate an aura of pure sexuality
I stopped telling my friends stories of my exploits years ago
Because they don't believe me
For instance
My last lover was...

I'm 18 years old and I live in a world where
Sadness is predominate, there is no such thing as peace.
If we stray from the beaten path, we are outcasts
Desecrators of what makes things easy.

90% of humanity disgusts me 
The other 10% I shall never get to thank 
Beneath contempt and not worth loathing 
The 90% I rank 
Absolutely numb at the levels my species can sink

Nobody can quite make me feel
As horrible as you do

As if you never had a clue
   Don't pretend you were naive
We both know you always...

Hate

Hate, hate, Hate
It all goes with my fate
I try to conceal it
But it starts to eat me inside

Hate is the nasty, big black color
I picture it as a burned flower
Searching for colorful things
But it just...

It disgusts me to the very den of my inner barren stomach
Rising on haunches like a broken ballerina
Fat pregnancy with clotted matted fur along the under quarters
It snarls in vapid plagiarisms and turns its neck...
