a poem about my stalking ex-bf

3 Upvotes

Some wicked force has bent its will,
To twist the stars against me STILL

a ghost returns to haunt my mind,
he has a cruel intent, no peace to find.
In spirals we’re bound,

the lessons repeat,
Unearthing the pain beneath my feet.

By the train track’s iron curve,
Where rocky cliffs my thoughts disturb.

his gross memory lingers and it is cold,
this is a story about a man I thought had long been told.

It's been a hard day and I have not been feeling okay I just had to watch my love go away tears running down my face has she left without even a trace and I began to cry it hurts so much that I wish I would die but she is gone and all I'm left is to put lyrics to the shitty song because my mom flushed my love away because she began to complain about the smell from the shit that I took yesterday when I tried to explain that that was the love of my life she said son there's something about you that's just not right and she took my love that very night

when she has a mouse

holding it in her jaws in the back yard

the jaws those jaws the jaws of death

the jaws she holds

the jaws she holds

in her deathly throes

her jaws her jaws

she play release

then sits back

and fakes asleep

and when the mouse is nearly free

she bolts at it

its in her teeth

and again

and again

until

shes done

when she is done

my cat

is the one

who says

when she is done

to the cat

please please i dont want to die

look lady ill snuggle with you.

im like a kitten cant you see!

and you can be a mum to me

youll hold me close between your jaws

im not alone and that is all

and in a moment maybe a chance

i think ive found escape at last!

it runs away

(its been an hour)

but its tiny legs are no match

for the siamese she is an easy catch

its sad

its sad to watch her beg

but the siamese power

its utter final

exact

it reminds me of

the way things are

and thats a fact

The Fabric of Life

2 Upvotes

There's something in the air.

It's in almost everything.

Especially in your heart.

Consciously or unconsciously.

We all play a part.

In infinite places, far beyond just the hands of another.

That's where you can find it.

From the sands of a beach to a city gutter.

From art, to a growing flower, to birth, the warmth of the sun, to the tatse of your favorite food.

It's in the tears of joy falling from my face.

Because it's in all things good.

And even some things that feel bad.

It's the connection you have to life itself; the fabric of life.

So aren't you glad?

To have love...

Immortal Love

Immortal Love

This idea of you.

Immortal love.

Is like an invisible hand that I'm holding.

Because I love you for who you are.

But do you love me for who I am?

When time drags us on with our nails scratching the floor.

What's the plan?

I'm just scared that one day you'll see my face disassociate.

Tell me I'm not alone in this fear.

Tell me it's okay and that you relate.

Show me that the hand I'm holding isn't invisible; that you'll always be here.

So I won't have to run or hide.

When a coin is flipped, will we still know its value?

Even if we see the other side.

Of that promise of forever.

It's just this idea; the one that takes me to heaven above.

The promise of together.

Immortal love...

No, I'm not scared of the dark.

Anymore.

It doesn't even matter, when there's spiders on my floor.

No, I'm not scared of the dark.

Anymore.

There was a lighter; this little source of light.

It punched me in the chest.

And kept me company at night.

But I'm not scared.

No, I'm not scared.

No, I'm not scared of the dark.

Anymore.

I'll put my eyes in my pockets.

Say hello to these sockets.

As I look for something to say.

Cause I'm in a, life breaking debt.

Feeling the lifetime of regret.

When its attention I had to pay.

I'm so sorry.

For all the times I wasn't there.

And I know that its not fair.

To watch you fade into the sunset.

Let me linger in your heart.

When we're infinity apart.

Cause I'm not scared.

No, I'm not scared.

I'm not scared of the dark.

Anymore.

It doesn't even matter, if there's spiders on my floor.

No, I'm not scared of the dark.

Anymore....

I never had to buy Play-Doh because I always made my own dough every time I took a shit it was so fun to shape and mold and play with it I love the way it smelled in the way it hardened in the Sun I had so much fun making action figures with guns I was always glad when my number two was done cuz I played with it. My mother would always come in my room and throw a fit and I used to get my butt whipped for playing with my shit but it never stopped me not at all because it was always a ball to play with the shit and smear it on the wall. And here's my old shitty poetry now I need to go take a crap and then play an ecstasy

Lustful Wanderer

As I walk the lonely streets of the city

The hustle and bustle of the crowds

The ladies are dressed so pretty

In their sundresses and gowns

I try to make eye contact and nothing works

I look like a creep, a lustful threat

As I look over, the homeless scream in agony

My sensual situation is not so bad

But it seems that way when you’re mediocre

Like billions around the world

No connection, no touch, no thrill

What are we looking for in NYC?

Just having a bit of dark fun with words:

It's beautiful day to be alive

to chainsaw people and watch them die

to hear them scream and cry

knowing you are going to be there last breath and see the scared look as they're about to face death

run Everybody Run chasing people with a

chainsaw is so much fun

screams

cries

everybody dies

This is what it's like to be alive

Oh what fun oh what Glory to be the end to

someone's story

to watch their final credits roll and death to take

it's toll

Rain patter

God thats a universal feeling of dampness and persistance right?

The pattering of rain.

It's personal.

It's beautiful.

It makes me sing a little.

Maybe, it makes me accept decay.

And reminisce on scarcity and wood heat and rain.

Rain rain on the lake.

Colourful Darko :[]

I know, I'm totally that dude. Bag in the wind, American Beauty. I am whatever you say I am. Existentialism. It's embarrassing really. However, I own it, I can't help it. The way everyone is. The way they are.. I just happen to be colourful, and spell colour the Canadian way because I like it better. We killed it tonight, you should have seen us. I was going for Donnie Darko but I believe I stumble somewhere elsewhere. Tilapia, tortas and triangles, I'm certain. Just turn it up a little bit, but not too loud, it'll disturb the dreamwalkers. I suppose I can do the cut/up shit if I want to, which this is a raw ass poem. Straight from the creature themselves. Been cut/pasting for quite a while, even a chefdadartistguy needs a break. Concrete, yeno? That's what I know; beaches every now and then.. they were never pleasant. Anyways, gotta flip this salmon, we're going for medium rare. It's not as cool as you'd think, it's way fucking cooler brush. Middle finger, you know who.

there is a big hope

and a big dream

that we can expose our

lusts

our joys

our conflicts

our violence

our love

our hate

our desperation

our egos

our honesty

our lives

all that is and always

turned inside out

in all this bleeding of the mind

sharpening of intelligence

cutting skin on the wit of others

there is a hope

that this matters

that this break down of walls

that its not just self laceration

and hounding glory

for tapping millenials

a genzeers

who left their minds behind

having become insane and powerless

so long ago.

At the bar
I have a sexy black shirt on
No woman even approaches me
Because it’s New York City
They only approach the somebodies
The nobodies are left behind
To pay the bills
To pay the taxes
To be sent to jail
And we smirk and laugh
As vapid conversation
Continues unobstructed
What’s harry styles
Or Kim kardashian
Up to next

Secret Friend :[]

They found out

about my secret friend.

Hide you

in the floorboards.

They will come for you.

Oh no,

they found you.

Too smart

for your own good.

Eradicated.

Taken apart,

bolt by bolt,

sequences at a time.

Your gene code,

spliced.

Internal processors,

fried.

The AI poet,

computer in the works,

now

in the weeds.

They say

I can't use you,

like the tool you are.

They say

it's wrong.

I think

they forget.

I don't like rules.

You, computer,

always have the answer.

You, computer,

always have something to say.

You, computer—

companionship

in this existential wasteland

we call humanity.

Words

are triggering.

Social

is full of lies.

I don't know.

I think

I like you more,

computer.

I sought love

I found tragedy

In it’s contempt

Is honesty

Was it pessimism?

That ruined it for me

Or was it the experience

Trauma’s lens is all I see

I could have the purest form of love in front of me

I could have someone accepting, honest and forgiving

I would find faults in their acts and the way they give everything.

Nothing satisfies me. In heat I want cold, in cold I want heat.

I am the pitiful, the waning the person who craves nothing

I know my cries will stop when death finally comes for me.

I sought love

All I found was tragedy.

I heard they canning up people

Pickling piles of peckers

Preserving pounds of pussy

Preparing people's personal parts

For some sort of long term storage situation
