Polychromed and Gilded

Purple skies limit my words to you

The prequel to a costume change

where the mouth of my words
will consume your body whole

and bash your pride against
the fist of my ego

though i sleep on the shores
of rebirth

i stein the congress of your dreams

so i lie my smile inside your tongue
that it may bathe in the coming ashes of your pain
and tribute anger belied under hero's scorn

i drink the smile
now fermented on the black enamel
of your porcelain fears

and my logic and heart stage a halt so complete
i can finally see
how far away your anger screams: the edge of life and the world

so i return back home

and when faced with you and my mistakes
drink one more so i can fly

My old neighborhood...

I sit on her cold steps
The ghost of a blight
Stings lit at the end of my cigarette but
In the wet shadows of a step-cut hilltop
Overlooking my old ghost
The old widow that use to trap me
Her cracked streets
And grinning windows
Her chipped fingers covered in leaves
And hanging over her grins

But this night she wavers in despair
With a glance upon my face
Remembering the joy I took away
When I moved that day
From her old
Ignorant-negro covered bones

Then again
Somehow
Her grins still linger
Maybe because she has new prisoners
Though none as delicious as me of course

Suddenly it's not so cold
A warm lost cat
Splashing fur
Against the scratchy gruff
Of jean pants
It explains it'll be my companion for this trip
Since we're looking for Salvation

And from that I move to one memory
And then the next
Housed at strategic points
On the old widows frame
As if I'm her misguided lover
Deceived into a round of post-breakup sex

My only cries of passion
Are a symbolic lost cat
And a glowing cigarette

The next morning I look over at what I've done
And
in horror
get out as fast as possible!
stereotyping

that funny little concept that shapes our planet. It gets us killed and they saves our lives. Would the world be a much better place if the concept simply didn't exist? Or maybe not?

An explanation

no one explains me, i agree
i can't explain anyone else
like math equations
science fairs
Presenting my findings
Filled with doubt

no one explains me, but know
i'm on a quest for inner peace
As illusive as a pin of hope
but my second chance at being free

no one explains me, and so
i try to see the world as plain
Red on wrists a slight remiss
Scorch the light
and drown the pain

no one explains me, you see
a patient found with rare disease
to baffle doctors
hollow hugs
As they try and focus
through my pleads

no one explains me, who cares
since death completes scientific writing
how funny, that i won't be there
To hear the results of my findings
Fearful men...


what does it mean to be a man? What's the stereotype of a man and what truth is stashed away in it?

Is masculine still a concept now days? And if so what's it's place? What's a man's place in today's societal aspects: romance, work, relationships, politics, etc.. Do men have a place in some aspects and not in others?

Wilshire Punch

poetry we thought was real
On the edge of conviction
splitting skin barks
And mental golden seal addiction

The lesser giant
Of a bigger whole
Runs ranting on translucent verbal moles
I'm done city-sitting, any bidders?
Going once..
Going twice...
Sold!
Now I can smile
between Ghost-lined thoughts
In splendor but indecision
The arrow quivers the breeze til cinder
but with languid-checked disposition
Conversations with all the feans
On coffee creeks
screams!
in the dead of winter
Don't inhale the cold
Or be sure the demons will enter
But don't breathe on me
Cuz i'll FUCK you up!

I'm in a mental state I can't climax through
Shards of venom cut up my intentions
Clumping words together like elmers glue
Inspite of failure to press the lover's end
Rocks on the shores of king Nebuchadnezzar's shins
Mock turtle necks walk through prune wind roses
Til they shell-shock in Venice
And clasp the poet's pen

emancipating a soul-cry hole
A widow in black
Keeping tears
In cub bard-housed bowls
Seeing eight-year old chain smokers
Dressed as flower girls
She gives them neon dreams
To pay
To fix the Styx ferry tole

The Breakup

O rumors and gossiping wasp!
Watch the walls speak loudly over my friend
My heart
My little brother Pierre
I watch from a front seat
While to Hellen
He speaks
The destroyer of an empire

He's the bane of Artemise
Fit with samson's eyes
in last hour
And even if you make a forever out of this hour
She'll still tell you she loves him
That red vixen named Britney
my hearts affliction insisting

They walked away but stayed together
Despite the weather
Friends forever
A sister to his kingdom
That broke out with him in arms when he went to war
And stayed friends forever more
roles

Isn't life all about roles?U act one way in church, u act another way in front of the president, another in front of God, another in front of Buddha, your friends, and so on

the ocean breeze is silly

HOW do i feel about love?

I was there
And it was there
So I stole it without thinking
left the jewelry for bank theives
The roses for notebook skins
And if they ask me what happend to love
I'll tell them
look at my art
(But if they only knew I killed her too)
A child sits on santa's lap
Blinking
In quiet contemplation
I stare at love
her head between my hands
that euphoric feeling's replaced with hot chills

Because there's an intensity inside me
And love can sense it
but this is danngerous!
Love flashes red like a timed explosive in the climax of a movie
The sun's shooting my chest
and making me hot
And Reason fights with dreadlocks
jack and jill suffer mental scars
While mother goose gets hit by a car
All of the above
To turn me
Into a shooting star
Hoping that I burn up before I hit the ground
There's a corner and long street before i come around
everything burning
hot
burning
hot
all the time
Cum steined sheets
suffocating heat
in my chest, my lungs, my throat
It feels like the sun's in my mouth
But melting my feet
stretched screams and abstract thots inside a flower garden
suddenly she explodes


And I transform ino a canvas
A blue-print drawn on the back of creativity
and They become the crowd
Pausing a moment to realize me
In mid-converse with each other about their lovers
Orgasms
Anniversary
A craftful chef playing with Rosemary


How do i feel about love?


Now it's sunsets and slow walks
but it's not over yet
because I like to go into love with a bag of popcorn
And after it's over
I purchase tickets for the next one on my way out...
horror movie

And as i wandered through the house
I realized they were all zombies
Their house had been attacked
Eaten
by mobs of stress sodden
Drama soaked years
And the friend I'd always come to see?
He was slowly changing too
Showing signs
As I past through
cautiously
they almost bit me

Everywhere at once

Lyrics in the background
As slaves make a mockery of predestination
Since she’s a black beauty
Riddled with experience
A tethered couch
An African goddess relaxing on the wall
A five-foot loud mouth addict
Hooked on youth
Reprimanded
Boys sitting around
I’m using my eyes to write
And my eyes see everything
A kid messing with his cell phone
So what am I seeing now?
Just seeing my thoughts
A brother tickling his little sister on the couch
She’s a ballerina
They fall to my feet
Mother’s Day
Aunt Martha’s day
Her living room
Flowered with certain faces
At strategic points in the living room
Two kids hitting each other on the couch
Blind
Through his eyes at-least
And when I see him
It looks like he sees clearly through everything else
But his eyes
He looks out into a street
One the sun grabs for a moment
But he’s really looking at the sun
Not through his eyes
But his face
There’s a sense of pleasure and calm
When I wonder what he’s thinking
They wrap up the food
Enough to feed a small starving nation she said
They wrap it up
And I go home

his reason


My friend. Last night he lost her image. But still gripped on tight to her in words. His reason was beautiful. She had...she had sense, she was witty, she was...she was funny. But she kept lapsing in his memory. They held a few intimate occasions on their part. She often used him to record the most amazing phenomenon. Both the brilliant and the heinous. But he was never offended. And even so, his thoughts struggled to simply touch her face. No insight. Though he was young

And made mostly of film. No pun intended
So he wandered in alleyways, in course minds, while in search for this memory. And the alleyways turned in to people. And the people turned into horrid dogs, with sharp teeth and spiked collars. Quick to ravish but only turned him a dog catcher. Despite the odd job he found her today. He's sick in love with her. Just her mere presence alone. It's almost sickening to watch. But he loves only because she rolls in and out of his life so often it's...i heard from someone absence makes the heart grow fonder. So, later on, i caught her walking out the door. Leaving a note behind, that this time, she might never come back. And so he wondered. Wondered through the alleyways again. Until he vomited, almost coughing out his soul...but I digress. The sight was disheartening as the least, so I left him there. I left my friend there.

american portrait suicide

Red-lipstick
Her white and red pocadot shirt
And red earrings
They compliment the white napkins she rolls over knives and forks
A "burgers with pork" sign above her forehead
For some reason
It only makes her more seductive
Just for today she's mine
My waitress slash painter
"What can I do fo ya suga?!"
Is what I tried to get out of her
but only made a chuckle out of "I'd never say that! You want some lemonade?"
She then commences using her five to six years spent in art classes
On the menu board
With chalk
For the customers who want to know today's specials
And what is today's special?
An American portrait suicide
In bulk

Something you should know about her...

Golden brown sheet

Whose touch cannot be fed

Though it grabs discarded darkness beneath the bed

Smacking nightstand

To pry open droors

Though it hugs old, crumpled shirts

And stretches to touch the wooden floor


I think I get it now
What you were trying to yell

but couldn't say

Since I was too young

To see things went that way

I'm sorry that i failed to see

How he dangled the option to be free

Of Aphrodite's opposition


Golden brown sheet

Defiant river from broken dam

Sublime symbols of natures hand

The fiery, fading sins of man

Are both devoured within it's misleading hug

Intrusive Boa loitering to spy

As books and papers converse about the tide

And Half-eaten plastic wrappers look up into the sky

Contemplating their own existence

While failing to realize...


I think I get it now

You were hiding withdrawals during the day

Scars and wounds you patched with tape

The price of longing for escape

Stuck you between two worlds of flexion

Made you slave, addict to his affection

But little girls and boys don't see life die

Lovers within the moon's disguise

Melt beneath sunlight


Golden Brown sheet

Opens the inn but locks all doors

Trapping victims in psychosomatic war

Once release they come back for more

Finding a mid-wife to neglected rapport

Helping couples conceive both lovers and whores

The whores come out but never breathe

A Conceited king corrupt with greed

Invites you in to drink his Meade

With hands indeed both stoic and brash

Kissing shoes and socks before they can ask

They chain YOU to bed.. don't they?

As he slips from out their grasp

I think I get it now

after-sex poetry
we sit down in front of a splendid dinner and gorge ourselves
And when we're full she pulls from out the sheets and puts her costume back on
I try to stop her with force-fed bowls of love and kisses that bite

Cries of ecstasy
Her calls from the night before
echo in my ears as I continue to carry out my daily activities
Every muscle twitch is her poking and groping

THE NIGHT BEFORE
crazy. No thoughts. The body takes control.
Muscles clenching. Hips vibrating and pulsating.
Scorching conversation pieces are sprinkled between
bits of exacerbated breathing, gasps, teeth grips on the lower ear lobes.
Blindness. blank. void. nothing. If this is a marathon I like marathons!
Lots of "I like", "I love", "more", "don't stop"
Dialogue's a kid playing in the corner while his parents make out. Who
take sparse breaks for his attention so their "duty's" fulfilled.

we return there. again and again.

Faces

Their faces
Looking back at you
Inculcating
Faces
Their names turn to faces
Everything turns to faces
From places to passerby’s
Remember their faces
Each one has a face
Each place has a face
His favorite place lays a unique scar
In the face of my home
And he’s a birthmark on my body
In my mind
On my hand
The one I use to wipe my tears
My Father

My pop
A pink ostriche in a crowded restaurant with his fat cheshire cat grin

Whenever I come from my pop's house, every little thing's nestalgic, from the names on the skinny apartment mail boxes to the park across the street

His world's a mix of two cultures

And at the end of my stay
at the drop off point
The conversation ends with my pop's famous last words
"be good"

He's always been able to say it clear as day
I may not understand anything else he says that well
But at the end of every stay sentence he says "be good"
Clearer than english
To the point where
As if he's saying it inside my head
To the point where
As if its me saying it
I swear I'm going to carve that into his tombstone

Waking moment

The lily doesn't know which way to follow
and lets the river walk

kissing the ocean's crystal electric candy
And while demons sit in her pupils looking out for orders
A wolf sits on the edge of freedom waiting for Ragnarok
Sprites run through the forest echoing out giggles
And the vine slowly stretches out
snatching back one
squeezing tight on its laughter
Slithering vines into her clit
Sniping her to yelp a scream of extacy-pain surrealism
A song that breaks barriers
In gradual slits
starting Ragnarok one weak earlier
Surlier myths
upON
showing her shed purple tears
Ahundred times darker than black is her purple
So black
vacuuming the universe
Transcending time-space and vacuuming souls

So black
Giants clash with the wolves
While the moon weeps over war that wages
Sure to hold its tears a few inches above skid row
So neon signs can vandalize poetry pages

So black
Fueling the withered trunk-tree to touch the clouds
Inspite of effervesces
Rolling in shades of genius
Til swallows edge Jehovah's brow

So black
The vine's grip tightens
til the sprites skin bleeds
Til she implodes into a black hole
Echoing out seeds

So black
While the gold vines drink her blood
And the fairies save her legs
The tree's fed to touch heaven
And the sprite can run through the forest
Once again
Alive
But dead
the Truth about ART

Crying mouths stretched over canvas
He uses their tears to wet his brush
Cigarettes clutter the floor
espionage on the outskirts of the demon realm?
DOn't make a sound
HUSH!
He'll hear u!
Waiting
Patience, patience
His hand finally pulls out the brush
But not without his protest
Wait..don't.. wait..i'm not ready..
wait, not yet... wait.. no.. wait.. wait!
They scream when it touches the paper
He screams
culminating time with a waking nightmare
He was tired of being misconstrude and confused
He would let it all out!
The canvas moves and swishes
Isis slowly pulls his head from outside the canvas
Arms and legs are painted
blotches of bright color here
A raven there
Hands slowly reach out of the canvas
But he couldn't stop himself
NO! Wait.. i'm not- CHOKE!
The hands were cold
As ruff as gloves
Squeezing
No..
Tighter and tighter
But he keeps painting
The crying mouths start laughing
We fooled you!
We fooled you!
His hand stretches out for help
Veins pulse along his forearms
It's no use
Air bangs on the roof of his lungs
Pleading for help
The canvas laughs
The canvas laughs
The brush drops
His air drops
Dead
And then
He drops
i used to have a phobia of pigeons...

not really a phobia, more like, an extreme amount of irrational hatred. But as I've been forced to live amongst them, share my sidewalks and sometimes personal space. I ended up striking some unexpectedly insightful conversations. Don't get me wrong, a twinkle still shines in my eye when I past lifeless tuft of feathers in the road.
But pushing that aside, i noticed when the pigeon ignites from the ground and flaps it's wings amidst passer-byes, it's so wild and uncontrolled. Like a waterfall or a wild fire. Like when a grease fire sets off out of a pan
unexpectedly in the kitchen while the families preparing the dinner table. But when I see it take off the ground wildly flapping, I remember that the bird's free to roam and go as it pleases. Like little elves playing around construction workers hard at work ignoring all bounds and bureaucracies to feed their own self-centered curiosity and frivolous inspirations
I wish I could be free with my artwork like the pigeon when it springs off the ground. By hairline urge, ripping through the air in mid-flight. The wind-current so fluent there's hardly need for it to spread its wings. Bouncing back and fourth off the walls of springy urges.

Cinderella

I know a girl
I know a girl whose hands on
she stands on
spattered words falling over ancient cities
If rome wasn't built in a day
It was because of dealings from architects to agents
And she?
A shoddy tree nymph ankle princess
Hugged in a quiet strength
Like children and loud yawns
And in the end she misses the ball
too busy hammering down nails and chopping lumber
To make her own damned carriage
In her too cute to bowl dress

Love song to Pain

Your call to me
So sweet and supple
My soft skin
So meek and quiet
Oh silent night
Empty abyss
Did you know?
An apocalypse sits
Waiting for your kiss?
You act so shy
I hate to force
Though you’d relish something course

Protected by the devil’s sanity
Crash you to
A burning vanity
Then rerole life and set askew
The conversation in a morgue

Asleep, seek you I through forest and hill
Awake, in search of sleeping pills
In search of love, I risk calamity
To wed a couple long-since divorced
Independence Day

If you're ever truly lucky in this world, in life really, you'll get to be told the truth. That your manhood's a hoax. A near-sighted hoax, like she did to him. In Paris, the city of love.

Caressing his pride with truth, like an STD wearing a white gown. Because manhood is a sword, stuck in the nearest rock of independence. It's the same rock King Author's sword was put in, put there by freedom and female proclivities. And rumor has it, even more if your lucky, at the age of 18 you'll pull the sword out this of stone and transform into a beautiful specimen women like to call an "Independent male". The color of whatever attracts them. The mind of whatever attracts them. And the owner of whatever attracts them. Because the self of men is habit to befit what a woman's lustful eye says. Laid to rest in the cadence of her sight. Blessed by the time and opportunity to be accepted by her, right?

Kind ambrosia
See you i
Dressed in kindled fury
Prod the blister

until its power is redefined

Noble Ambrosia. stern and rigid
Standing guard to exit verbs
Free at last
Break emergency glass
To- escape route
i free-fall between the cracks of words

please use your fist

hit harder, think i came on the last try
you're going to die
Please don't remiss. i need your strongest to make me fly

Meek Ambrosia. nag i scold
To force your hand upon my plea
I win- You stand
And raise your hand
But I think your hit. this time. might kill me

please use your fist
a fucking sadist
i need your strongest to make me fly
why make me do this?
i'll just persist
if you take this last hit, you'll surely to die
