a house abandoned
walls caved in
the windows no panes
and the floors creek
yet still a spark of beauty
flawed and few
nothing inbetween
i stay reflecting on the past…
it used to be thriving
full of life
kids playing, people residing
the memories the walls hold
indents of several souls
the history of not one but two,
i take a step back
a dark shadow sweeps through
i slowly watch the rug unroll
its clearer now,
a story unfolds
the faint echo of screaming
and the vision of blood shot eyes gleaming
tear stained curtains rip off the wall
the cracks aren’t just age,
they’re scars, i withdrawal
the hands of man destroyed her beauty
left her falling apart, while neglecting his duty’s
i can’t help but think
she’s stayed so strong throughout the years
still standing tall despite hers scars and constant fear
but,
she’s abandoned now, all withered and torn
at the hands of a man she once adorned
but beneath the surface her foundation stayed strong
it’s the beauty within that’s made her last this long.

I don’t know what you’re saying
And I don’t really care
Let’s take off all our clothes
And cut off all our hair
We’ll swim inside our blood
While drinking in our skin
We’ll look inside our ears
And pull out every pin
We’ll give until we can’t
We’ll take until we’re full
We’ll idolize ourselves
And dive into the pool
We’ll leave behind the land
‘Cause we’re not trees or moles
We’ll rip off all the fat
And fly the sheets on poles
Now we don’t need a plan
And we don’t need to see
We don’t need all the noise
That drowns out you and me

hell comes and goes
that old
high sprung
jack-in-the box
grin on a spring
jumps out
pop goes my holy holisticness
i fall sick of myself
my all-a-roundness leaks
stuff looms
it happens
then i pray and cuss
cuss and pray
chase down the devil
pin him down
rip off his clown face
tell him
ever
so
gently
to stop being me

Search for me
Pull me out
Of myself and self doubt
Snake charmer play your magic flute
Make me believe you love me too
Reach way down deep
Past brick walls
Beyond pretend, to all my flaws
See the Me that I really am
Love me truly if you truly can
Rip off my mask
Tear my disguise
Don't believe my pretty lies
Hear my real voice, feel underneath
Let me be enough, finally
Chorus. Let me be enough to deserve the love you give
Let me wake with you each day, and each day let me live
Knowing you know me, yes, you do…
Your enough for me, let me be enough for you.
Lift my veil
Reveal my face
Lead me to amazing grace
Overlook the wrong I don't mean to do
And I promise to love you like this too.
Strip me down
to the skin
As innocent as I was then
A new creature without any rust
And show me once again how to trust
Clean me up
with great care
Until I stand before you bare
Let the shame I feel finally go away
Let our life begin brand new today

WILD CAT, RIP IT APART ONCE AGAIN
Been a while I tasted it raw
Taste of a living flesh full of blood
My claws are itchy
Craving to rip off the furs and pounce on the flesh
My fangs and rusty
Need be oiled by the drippings
Mouth drooling the hunger is as large as the flesh
I just wanna rip the flesh again
Like a snow wolf after the winter
Too long a life without a feed
Many nights of hunger and thirst
Long curvy fiery claws
Guiding the wooly paws
The wild cat's whiskers are overgrown
Yet without bloodstains in a while
Seasons of cold and hot
Nights of starving and days of thirst
Big cats of the wild
Rip it out and eat from the middle
Howl louder big wild cat
Lure your mate out of the woods
Feed on the familiar tasty flesh
Your favourite of all delicacy
Lick the fluid off your whiskers
Flex the powers in your right limbs
Stretch out the veins and let them pop
Chase and make a catch
Pant in awe of your satisfaction
A well deserved meal after a while
It is time to rip it apart again

And let your hands slide on the paper,
and sometimes forget a grammar or points on the end of sentences.
It helps you to let out your thoughts.
To let out your words.
Yeah they don't know of who I am talking about,
But the people who I have meant,
Do read me like their favorite videos of pewdiepie,
They will see and know.
Will I cross out words with a Red pen then?
Or write with strength?
To make the paper,
rip off by itself?

The hole
The hole I feel every year
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
Celebration for your off spring
The hole that no one can take
Each year the hole grows
I want to call you up on the phone
Tell you about all the things
You believe I would never do
After all I was created by you!
Each yeah the hole grows
As I watch marriages grow
Knowing you will never give me away,
Oh wait, you did already, for your personal gain
Alcohol, laughs and even jokes
While your daughter had to encounter the strokes.
Not the way I dream of to be given to a man at just 9 years old.
Each year the hole grows
Wanting to be seen and heard
And be told I’m so proud of you
Only to be nothing more than the dirt on your shoes
Instead your voices play over within my head
“You will amount to nothing”
“You tell and I find out, I’ll make it so you can’t speak”
The hole that grows
And the pain that seeps
With every mother and father love story
I just want to rip off my ears
The hole grows
Each day, sucking the life away
While I wonder on earth as a stray
Unwanted and disregarded
Forever parted
The hole grows

And I forgot to bring some extra slips.
,,Hey, could you lend me some of yours?"
,,I am sorry but I don't think they would really suit you"
,,No, that's okay thank you"
I understand that I mean you know then they would rip off right?
It's just, I why can't I just try them on for a minute?
Or, Ah sorry
It was obvious wasn't it?
It's fine I understand
It's just I was bleeding
It's okay
Thank you

There is a story behind it,
you can see and find it.
But hurt, anger, every shed of tear, every throw up, every stomach ache, every sneeze, every hair that is easily to rip off, every scream of father, every sadness of mother, and the strength of men is not with: "everything happens for a reason" excused.
Because these people didn't deserve,
needing the nerve,
After being abused.

They sing their own songs
In the spirit of light.
No, they do not take credit for that.
Nor, do they drain under dust and disdain
That suffers hollow minds.
They compose their verses in the wind
And revel at their spirits’ charm, or so as it seems.
They inspire dance in a dragonfly,
Touch in a bee, or a butterfly.
And quiver not at the bleat of a goat.
They do not complain, nor do they seek---
Attention, that spoil ribbons of love.
They bury moments in pure delight,
Unlike men that lose sight of purpose.
And coil under their own vulnerabilities.
They do not fantasize their own glory
Nor live a lie that do not define them.
They swell in pride with pure submission,
That, for man, would take years to fathom
As deliberate apprehensions rip off their minds.
They sing their verse, unheard, unsung
Revel, in the breast of Mother Earth.
They feel Her beat, Her heat, and in sweet surrender
Submit to the gallows of Time.
Though hated, sometimes scorned, undervalued
for their power to produce and reproduce.
For encroaching unknown territories,
Yet they don't complain, for they know
Love is for all and they are no exception.

I called them fairies’ lanterns
back when I was but a kid
Trapped them into mason jars
sealed them up with metal lids
We’d rip off their lighted butt
and place it on our left hand
Pretend we were all grown up
and it was our wedding band
When I see those fireflies now
out beyond my back porch screen
I think about yesterdays
and wonder why I was so mean

Away on a booze cruise,
No beer left in stock.
They charged fifty dollars,
It was a real shock.
I complained it’s not fair,
I want money back.
We’re so sorry, they said,
We’ll give you a snack.
The food was disgusting,
The chef was a prick.
The waiter annoying,
I now feel sea-sick.
I hoyed in a bucket,
And over the side.
All for fifty dollars,
It felt like I’d died.
I want to go home now,
Hooray for dry land.
I’ll not booze cruise again,
I’ll stay on the sand.

The living to themselves gossip attract,
but at death eulogies mitigate lies.
Love and care from he who breathes is withdrawn,
but his slumber does attract parties.
Fake mourners with feigned tears in burials act.
They rip off and use the grieving as pawns;
Their loss is their gain, their tears their laughter.
To fill their stomachs, they sob and flatter,
as they to misery dance, from dusk till dawn.
Whilst alive, at my deeds everyone frowns.
But at death, I am a departed 'saint'
whose sepulcher you spray with costly paint.
If you must celebrate me, do so now.
Do not in reverence to my casket bow.
Visit me now in my ramshackle house,
sharply rebuke me if you have a grouse.
Do as much you can to show you love me,
do not when I sleep go on bended knee.
Never belatedly show your respect
by attending my funeral in retrospect.

Settle this score,
Once and for all.
Murder
or Make Love
I haven't quite
Decided.
Or perhaps
Neither.
Terrified,
Tortured
Aries.
Do I
Destroy Myself to
Rip off your
Mask of masculine apathy,
Of Denial of your
Maker?
