My heart clogs
up my throat
when I
try speaking about
how it feels.
Too large to fit
through
the thin trachea
of my limited vocabulary.
Thinking about Nevermind!
Skinny dipping soaked in bleach, albino by design
Eyes burning, -Something in the way- future gives a sign
No pacifier needed, when remuneration’s on the line
Keep calm it’s just rehearsal, will sink lower another time
Born too soon, umbilical’s frayed by a toothless bite
Lure instills urge to swim, bypassing baptismal rite
-Come as you are- take a breath, be sure to stay airtight
Nevermind the grunge, it’s less dirty with a soul of white
Zero in on bait, the watermark hides a sell by date
Perhaps-stay away- not much change at going rate
Don’t lose sight of legal tender, it won’t always sate
Take a breather, rest assured, if lungs don’t reinflate
Swimming in circles chasing what is never truly ours
Set in ripples, a reflection of mankind’s weakest hour ?
The dollar breaks, revealing depths we’ve yet to scour
In the murk, no god we trust, just a bill we all empower
soup overdone comments blow hot air ~ AI bubbles up everywhere
bits and bytes chain reactions going spare ~ does admin really care
esoteric brainwashing on blogs here and there ~ bullsh!t doctrinaire
witnesses hold high ground au contraire mon frere ~ sisters in a lair
HMS
how much truth could our world contain ~ all of it until the humans came
so how much lies do we contain ~ none whatsoever we pass on blame
then how much balance does god contain ~ that depends more or less the same
these monokus are pointless and lame ~ no just vagaries of my brain

4x17
Rounded up
Forgotten pup
No hourglass shape
Like sister eight
Denied the pluck
Of seven's luck
No flashy tricks
For clever six
Lacking the vibe
Of cool kid five
Awkward score
No balanced four
Craves symmetry
Family of three
Alone and blue
Unlike cute two
While ten and one
Have all the fun
Eleven stays
Aloofly away
Twelve is far
Too popular
And all the teens
Have their own scenes
So, find time for nine
In your counting rhymes!

Never mind the hurt
Never mind the pain
Never mind time spent
Everything was all in vain
It’s plain to see
We agree to disagree
I’m not into you
You’re not into me
Never mind the lies
Never mind the shame
I’m not about to lose myself
In someone else’s game
So let it go
Just let it fade away
What’s meant to be will be
Live to love another day
Never mind the guilt
Never mind the blame
By this time tomorrow
Will you even know my name?
I hope someday
All your dreams come true
With someone to hold you tight
And love you...for you

I know ive said hurtful things, pay it no nevermind.
I dont mean it, why i make sure i apologize every time.
Ive played games in the past, pay it no nevermind.
Why im begging for your forgiveness to overlook every lie.
I mess up, and offer excuses of every kind.
Try to turn situations on you, pay it no nevermind.
Others failed to fix your broken heart, let me try.
Have your fair share of doubts, but pay' em no nevermind.
And dont forget that you....well, nevermind.
The focus is on me, save for a better time.
How can something that feels so right, go so wrong?
Willing to spend my whole life righting all my wrongs.
Know ive said that before to cover another display.
But i see you walking out that door to my utter dismay.
Yet, if you leave now, make me believe you were never mine.
But i know you love me mind, body, and soul, so nevermind!
I have exams yesterday
I have exams today
When will this end?
Until my body bend?
Although I understand
That this is just to measure my what I learned
But then, I can't help it
The notes seem to call me
To lure me to study and to not fail myself
I guess this is just a competitive me talking
Nevermind cause yeah, .....
Goddddddddddddddd! I still have exams.. Kbye.. Got lots to study

#TheNEVERMINDpoem
If only nil were beauties time
my fault of core, would not be thine
when guessing faith, I must be blind
to heresy's imposed refine.
Composing registrars divine
scenes shortage as the prayer in bind,
my gross performance carry's lined
percussion to resolve unkind!
Some modesty's avail resigned
a detriment, yet effort's prime
offensiveness percentage climbs
and gross contend is "never mind!"
Let's rearrange the paradigm.
Such beauty I find in you, him
It has always been this way
Angel's whisking whisper
It's me again, it's me again
How stubborn he was
I found my heart trying to convince him
the truth of a man's depth of love
It is me here,
you there
I love you more today
less than before
because there is tomorrow
There is nowhere to go
Nowhere to belong
Never a certainty for tomorrow
Simply what it takes to move along
And I’m going nowhere
No place I knew well enough to stay
Nothing more needs frightening to dare
For have you a life certain for another day?
Often it takes many more
To make a boring place interesting
Yet of times to befall
When too many might make an interesting place boring
Have you a place you’ve been?
Where it makes a no never mind
Like a place engiven in dreams
That one place for a no need to chase time
There is nowhere I rather go
Nowhere is somewhere to belong
Have you a need for tomorrow?
To have what it takes to move along?
my father's sister's sister in law, being my mother
drew 305 dollars from four bowls
me and mrs have six daughters each has a brother
one brother,
nine in the familybaldman without umbrella
gets no wet hair
christmas and new years fall in the same year
two pears from three pears, i count only what i have
not what i left behind
one can never tell the truth
one can never tell a lie
which one said, "the other one said he is the liar?"
disecting angels and alibis with logic
the yolk of the egg is yellow
famous mind read

nd
places
places please
light to the ear and the insects fly out
pound of gold always worth more than half a pound of gold
Waiting for an epiphany
Something…anything…
A life in transit
Keyhole visions… narrowed too fine
Cynicism, mockery doing rounds
Despairing times… out of bounds
What could’ve been and what is…
Funny how the story doesn’t change
Driftwood listless, aimless
Who is your huckleberry finn?
Hypocrisies, deceit, lies and everything lame
That just leaves god left to blame
forget it all.
im blah blah.
