A pair pulling their weight
sandwiching the meat of my literary treasure
~ shelving their showstopping good looks

looks so painful

this looks so painful
why tattoo around your neck
did it not hurt you

This is What Treason Looks Like

Now there once was a man called Obama
who did more grievous harm than Osama.
   At Hillary’s coax
   they conspired a hoax
so coming your way is some bad karma!

I’m such a hypocrite

i smile at people all day long
young and old
fat or skinny
abled or disabled
strange looking or plain as can be
it’s all the same

but when it comes to me
too fat too wrinkled too old
i’m full of criticism
and i can hardly bear
to glance into the mirror

if this would be a friend
confiding in me
i would be appalled
i would shake

Love Looks With The Mind

There must be
a meeting of personalities,
a synchronization of Souls,
lots of the same ground
for 2 people
to become a couple
Love doesn't mesh
with the eyes
but with the mind.
Intelligence is the key
You must have
common interests, likes
Nowadays even
political views to
avoid discrepancies
making the relationship
go smooth, effortless
Not to say that
attractiveness doesn't matter
but is a part of a 
combination of the whole

Broken Nails

These broken nails
Not pretty to look at,
My triumphs, my fails
Mean more than that

Been scratching away
Digging for some end,
By night, by day …
‘Til they begin to bend

Once polished to a shine
… Is perfectly cracked,
With pulled hair of mine
And my nerves wracked

All glitter, all gold …
Neither one can stay,
But, broken nails, I'm told
Says something anyway.

surface

when no one’s watching, i am.
i watch myself
take that extra bite
regret that dessert
body check every mirror
but from the outside
no one sees me
they don’t know me
only i know me
myself
the imperfect image people see so perfectly on the outside

When Time Looks Back

I never liked how time passed,
So many things are left unasked.
It can be slow and dreading,
Threading softly through.

Or as fast as a lightning bolt,
So speedy, it makes you greedy.

And when you look back at yourself and see the progress,
You might call it success, it may bring you stress.

But no matter what, time will never stop,
So,

The Moon Looks Lonely Tonight

The moon looks lonely tonight.
Or maybe it always was.
I don’t know.
I never really noticed before.
it always seemed so bright,
so surrounded, so admired.
How could something so full of light
feel so alone, right?

But tonight it feels different.
Tonight, I see it.
Or am i projecting? 
Maybe it’s not the moon that changed.
Maybe it’s just me.

You remember when I told

Looks to others
Like we are 
Living the dream
Long ago we married for 
Love, but now it seems to me
Like money has come between us
Let’s return to the beginning

Woe unto him who looks ForWARD

????Woe! UNTO HIM

Whoa unto him who judges 
Who are you to judge

Whoa unto him that watches 
With everything, everyone does 
Look Within my, brother!
Look at yourself my sister 
Please to the vision that's within You!,  that you reflect and show out Vomit out urgency

Bodyless

For once i smile and dance as i look at my reflection in mirror

i like it when i look at me and feel something thats not making me want to curl up and cry

I dance and sing whatever song is playing

The Only Thing That Looks Good in Black and White

Nothing is simple,
but we carve it clean—
label it, box it,
turn a question into a rule,
a rule into a law,
a law into a weapon,
and call the wreckage order.

We crave control,
but sharpen our knives in chaos.
We demand honesty,
but crucify the truth.
We worship free thought,
but silence it before it speaks.

We want change,
but only if it looks
like what we

Music Looks Like

Music Looks Like

A thunderstorm rolling
in from the west.
Jagged flashes of lightning
from dark roiling clouds

A quiet stream meandering
through a wooded glen.
Bubbling and gurgling as it
gently flows to the sea.

A brilliant art work with
splashes of red, green, blue.
An improv painting open to
one’s interpretation.

A crowded street full of people
of all shapes, sizes and colors.
Some hurrying, some not but
all
