Short Cutter Poems

Contact with the skin
It hurts but in a good way
Now I feel alive....

workers sans respite 
diligent leaf cutters ants ~
stripping bare a tree

She cuts, she cries. She writes on her wrists with red ink.
Outside it mists. She's held by her lover, but now she's gone,
and now it is I, who cuts and cries....

Are we just meat and butter
Dull slabs for the cutter
Do genes contol hiddenly?
Have we no power or free will
What science concludes
Is fed back to it on a loopy chain...

This new invention will surely fill you with delight
A clever device to light your bowl up each night
A brilliant green color
“Poopinsafety” darkness cutter
A knight in shining armour, an illuminating device...

John Cutter, with nerves made of steel,
Said, "These terrorists, they've made a bad deal!"
He'd kick, punch, and flip,
With a cool, steady grip,
"Always bet on black," was his zeal.

Generic Love For The Bakery Couple


butcher went to bed with his cookie cutter
and baker opened her oven for his flutter
a recipe mix and bake
generic love to shake
dough rises bringing cake mold to shutter

be a follower
afraid to be the real you
conformists all lose



just lap dog fame 
disingenuous is your name,
cookie-cutter fame


deceit fills your day
selling your soul to belong
empty shell on sand

You were the way.
You promised salvation 
You couldn't deliver.
Murder your faux martyrdom,
and cookie cutter family.
You hate me now because I couldn't fit,
But you didn't even try.
Compromise was never an option.
You were the way,
and you left me.
What am I to do now?...

Screaming til my face collapsed, broken arrow’s here called 
     Dear God she’s so beautiful, a cascading insouciance befalls 
             Forensics yeah they’ll differ, no doubt say, it was inhumane
     I don’t give a fig leaf, as the daisy cutter obliterates my pain

those leaf cutter ants lost in the desert ~ they try slice open each grain

God shows moses as the red sea closes ~ yet unseen they’ll die in vain

I’ve witnessed things so tiny and fast ~ that never occurred in the main

unlike people who won’t believe their eyes ~ and claim it’s legerdemain...

All cooki-cutter comments, say the same thing!
But to blind you, they toss God's name in the ring.
Stay away from me, please!
Hang your comment on another poet's tree.
Dishonesty and I are an explosive mix.
Find someone else to lie to, and get your fix!

Driving through the broken, potholed streets
Lined with houses spanning decades
Each with a thousandfold more character
than that of the cookie cutter impostors they call homes

I appreciate the creaks and groans
Much more than the sheen of granite stones

Value comes down to values.
What are yours?

people are strange....
the world is full of 
odd ducks 
people are strange....
the world is full of 
characters 
people are strange....
odd is the new norm
normal is the new odd
people are strange....
unique is in 
sameness is out
people are strange....
individuality is key
coke cutter is out
people are strange.......

Broke. Blind. Bitter.



so down,

down





Cold. Cringe. Cutter. 



bore down,

down





Drift. Dark. Danger.



crawl down,

down





Edge. End. Enter. 



kneel down,

down





Fate. Fall. Final. 



lay down,

down




Gore. Gasp. Mother!



dark found,

found....

She's warm to the touch
inside ice.

He broke her heart;
she'll pay the price.

She can't move on
she loves him still.

She tries to hide the pain 
by popping pills.

Depend on drugs;
looking for a fix.

See the scars on her arms 
and her wrist.

She's a cutter; 
blood covered razor

Ask her why?
She'll say he made her....

I can't make sense of this head of mine
I feel hopeless, running out of time

I should've died, my only wish
I just don't understand all of this

why does God want me to live
I'm alone, I have nothing to give

scars of white, tears of red
I can't make sense of this head 

cuts break open, mouth gone dry
I don't get it, I should've died....

humpty dumpty has a book that does not go away
We tried to peek, but he was not ready to play.
He told us to leave, for he was on deck a ship
Battling a storm, the cutter was ready to flip!

Call me captain, old Humpty said.
His cheeks were pink, his nose was red.
Or walk the plank he added in a weird way.
We tiptoed past him on this reading Tuesday....

Life isn’t fair 
Legions lament,
Noting there’s no equal share.

Some have the wealth of dreams.
Some have little to spare,
Fated to fail it seems.

But if life were fair
What makes us unique
Would grant us no reason to care.

We’d be cookie cutter clones
Stamped out in a row.
You could be me, and I you.
This life is fairer than we want to know....

If I could love someone

If I had been love… But the feeling of love would have already turned into distance
It would have put me in another life and made me there. Oh! How good it would be! But no!
This love would have been a fatal and a being-penetrating cutter, a killer sword
A knife, a blade in my heart, and my soul would have been painted red, colored

You dig 
pit 
after 
pit 
after 
pit.
Then wonder why nobody comes around.
The few that tiptoe into your eggshell world  
are only there to use you...

In greener years you were just another cutter
graduating to just another pit digger...

Blood or not, I'll not dance in your self-inflicted pits..
I'll just sidestep the "hole" mess and say happy digging....

Maybe you'll see how I view my life through my scars..

Feeling alive is what I lacked
A good life is what I needed.
Cutting is what made me feel
Open wounds from a beautiful green and red razor
Slices upon my arm
Came faster than the peel of an orange
I LOVED the effects
Bloody tissue
How ALIVE I felt
Maybe one day you'll see
The person I wanted to be

Dead....

Fierce vision, as sharp as cutter 
One that left my heart to stutter 
A glare that left my soul naked 
Like I was so rogue and wicked 

It looked at me deep to the bone 
Trying to tame my heart of stone 
It tried to steal my will to thrive 
But I won't budge while I'm alive
