    LOL

    I feel sorely paraphrased....

    and don't forget the hairs from a black hog.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

    ~~~

    William, I Giggled with Your Girlfriend
    Hank Hyena

    'cause I was high & she was high & you were bye-bye out of town --

    William, we were both lonely without you

    William, I kissed your lover's lips--I curled my paws around her hips
    we cuddled on your couch 'cause I'm your closest friend, William,
    I wanna feel everything you feel in this world

    William, I nibbled on her thin tongue next, my fingers scampered 'round her breast

    William, we were stuffing a turkey together--that's why we got excited

    William, when she borrowed my herpes lotion I knew we had a dangerous connection

    William, I dallied with your dearest 'cause I feared she was gonna sleep with a creep
    when you were out of town & I wanted it to be somebody you can trust

    William, the last bag of marijuana you sold me was crap so you owe me $10

    William, I held her near, she chewed my ear, I removed her pink brassier

    William, she rested 'gainst my shivering chest, she said you two had a quarrel
    I said "I am ex-Catholic, sex is best when it's immoral"

    William, when I saw your gal-pal's underwear I had to tear them off 'cause
    you told me there's still scars on her butt
    'cause a pit bull bit her when she was three years old
    you can't be telling me things like that without me wanting to know first-hand

    William, I unclothed your cutie comrade 'cause I disrobed
    some of your other darlings & I delighted in it so I decided, dang--let's do it again

    William, I did the fling-a-ding whirl with your lovable girl
    cause she was complaining that she doesn't have orgasms with you
    --she wanted to find out if it was your fault or something else--
    she didn't have an orgasm with me either, William
    I think she's a lesbian you outghta be moving on

    William, I savored the flavor of your fine friend because--
    I had this sweetie named Stevie seven years ago,
    Stevie said you were sexy, we spat about that, then we split,
    you ruptured that relationship, William, for that, you owe me one--

    William, I don't know her very well, we're kinda awkward around each other
    --this seemed like a excellent way to break the ice--

    William, I throbbed hearts with your honey 'cause it was Celtic holiday--
    I do declare that a depserate dose of pagan power
    is contained & conveyed in the Druid fluid of the amatory act
    & I am, William, first & foremost, I am a seeker of knowledge

    That poem is some sick and somehow funny shit yet seriously dark and moody... words about to go postal, showing the knife and sliding on every surface it can key.

    Considering the reasons for my divorce (my wife cheated on me with three men, got pregnant twice, aborted once, and my daughter is not biologically mine...) it hits somewhat close to home, so it's timing isn't all THAT great but I know you didn't mean anything by it. The similarities in style are incredible, and I don't like to think that I may have borrowed so heavily from anyone, though this is the first time I've ever read any of Hyena's poems.

    It's got the bitter edge to it too. So it is appropriate. Fortunately I don't feel too much of that malice or bitterness... I do feel at times an overwhelming sadness and a sense of failure because I worked enough or too much or because of whatever else I had done to drive her to other guys...

    What's the name of that Pagan holiday? I can't remember... but I know the one he was talking about...

    Cran thanks for reading and for introducing me to a new poet... I had no idea he even existed... kind of the darker side of Weird Al...

    Seta:

    I just want to fully and humbly apologize. I knew that your marriage had failed from reading over your thread, but perhaps I didn't read close enough. I had no idea it was because of unfaithfulness. Especially such a degree. If I had realized, I never would have posted this in your thread.

    I appreciate the demeanor with which you took this. It must have been some kind of a slap in the face, though I hope the title I alluded to a few times earlier helped to prepare you for the subject matter.

    Again, seta, I apologize. I only meant to show you a similarity in style, not rub any salt in any wounds or show any disrespect.

    I know you understand that, but I still feel I should say it myself.

    Stay strong.

    You can't blame yourself for her mistakes! They are hers, not yours and although you feel you may have caused her to act this way, I can almost guarantee that she would have acted this way no matter what you did or didn't do.

    And, some people think they have the "perfect" relationship and then one day they get home to an empty home and a "Dear John" letter.

    Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you want them to, so, you just gotta roll with the punches and keep your head up and try not to dwell on finding excuses for things that are inexcuseable!!!!!!!!

    Tim, Cran, Cranny, Cranny-mo...

    Don't you worry for a second. It wasn't a slap in the face, I promise. I may be heavier than I used to be but I still gots da quickness ya know? I can duck it, a little to the right. Well, most of the time.

    You know how much I respect you so I won't go over that whole thing again :D (unless you're having a bad morning in which case I'll be glad to cheer you up) and I am fully aware that you meant nothing wrong with that pome.

    Much love to you mister man <offers hands for shakes> absolutely no offense taken.

    As a matter of fact, the perpetrator in this particular piece reminds me of my ex-bestfriend to a serious degree, nearly alarming. I'll tell you about him sometime.

    Funny how the people closest to you teach you the hardest lessons about humanity and life and love and death and betrayal.

    And B.E. you are correct, there are many things that are inexcusable and she was always unfaithful no matter what, even when we were dating... I guess I never learned my lesson but it was always because I loved her so much that I tried not to care and I thought maybe, if I worked harder, she'd be proud enough of me or recognise that I cared enough for her, that I did it all for her, that it would stop... but it was a poor philosophy.

    I never fully blamed myself but I have always known that marriage is a two way street and one must affect the other. So there must be some to take in my direction.

    we never had the perfect relationship but we were always pretty good friends, so I think that's how we're going to keep it. It seems to make sense.


    Thanks guys, all of you, for putting up with my rantings and ravings for somewhere like 500 plus posts... I feel I don't deserve the ear but the honesty is always not only refreshing but most welcome and every once in a while...

    I get spanked. :( sigh lol.

    love to all of you

    "for putting up with my rantings and ravings" - SPANK! - Now stop with that! It is a pleasure! I've never felt as if I was just "putting up" with you!!!! You are caring and kind and concerned and a "wordy motherfucker" :D but not someone to just "put up" with, for goodness sake! I hope you don't really feel that way!!!!

    And don't feel bad, I know I'm full of poor philosophy! :) You are not alone!

    Lots of love to you! :)

    Cran, good to see you. Thank you.

    B.E. way to be loud and hip and crass and where's the smiley? :D:D:D

    Good morning to all.. I have to say that forum-ing in nothing but a towel is quite refreshing but now I have to go to work.

    blah.

    see you all soon...

  • "This song's about my penis... if you want it to be." ~ Ben Folds

    ~~~

    Philosophy
    Ben Folds Five

    Won't you look up at the skyline
    At the mortar, block, and glass
    And check out the reflections in my eyes
    See they always used to be there
    Even when this was all was grass
    And I sang and danced about a high - rise

    And you were laughing at my helmet hat
    Laughing at my torch

    Go ahead and laugh all you want
    I got my philosophy
    And I trust it like the ground
    That's why my philosophy
    Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

    I see that there is evil
    And I know that there is good
    And the in - betweens I never understood
    Would you look at me I'm crazy
    But I get the job done
    I'm crazy but I get the job done

    So go ahead and laugh all you want
    I got my philosophy
    And I trust it like the ground
    That's why my philosophy
    Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

    I pushed you cause I loved you guys
    I didn't realize
    That you weren't having fun
    And I dragged you up the stairs
    And I told you to fly
    You were flapping your arms
    Then you started to cry, you were too high

    Now you take this all for granted
    You take the mortar, block, and glass
    And you forget the speech that moved the stone
    And it's really not that you can't see
    The forest from the trees
    You just never been out in the woods alone

    So you can laugh all you want to
    But I've got my philosophy
    And I love you you're my friend
    But you got no philosophy
    Now it's time for this song to end

    question...


    is this the Chrome Heart you have heretofore pressed in poetry?


    The chrome heart
    once so fast my goal
    Steeled copper-
    plate perfection

    So softer now
    amazed lay I
    A puddle love
    A Mercury so
    suddenly rose.

    Might I inject
    a measure sweet?
    In heat
    come join me
    in a glass.

    UPBRINGING/
    dinnertime springtime

    Anger.
    It’s a bittersweet sickness
    And it tastes like liquefied Milky Way bar I can’t stand milkyways
    Rain fell like godspit on her parade
    And she smiled
    Shining persecution and love
    The comparable pair
    At nearly everyone who would accept
    Her aluminum foil glance
    Shattering light like a disco ball
    She held my hand
    And led me along
    Gripping me
    In her steady stare
    And unsteady grip
    She loved
    She loved me
    She said so
    And I sang my song of belief
    To all those that would strain to hear
    At night she would tell me tales
    Of long after I was born
    Offended and insulted
    That I didn’t recall the future up through and to this point, Upbringing has my amazed attention!
    At least off hand
    And during the day
    She was non-existent
    A ghost in her own present
    Yet ever present in mine
    Sometimes I embitter myself
    With myself
    Even others
    With myself
    And I paint my own picture of cynicism
    In which I justify the poisons I drink
    And in this knowledge…
    I should say I take pride in this knowledge
    Knowing the fine line that can kill or corrupt
    Help and heal
    I’m sure that at this point in time
    If I were to choose a direction to go
    I would spin in one place
    Just to get a good look at the position in which
    I am stuck
    So as I prepared to leave
    The dining table
    Placing the food of existence off to the side
    And decided to go for a walk….
    maybe “and” to “I”????
    At least for a while
    I drank my champagne with tolerance
    And pushed the chair back on two legs
    Relaxing a bit

    I stood up

    Taking slight notice to the way
    Eyes shifted towards me in mid-conversation
    The way words hung in
    Mid air
    The way my stride echoed across the hall
    And the way whispers followed me like prayers
    Wisps of fog I could only describe further as
    Playing through my fingertips the King thematic, reappears? :D
    And when I finally held the brass
    Cool brass
    Doorknob
    Between my thumb and forefinger
    I smiled
    In my reflection
    I smiled at my reflection
    And accepted my choice
    Dressed inappropriately
    For it was windy that day
    I opened the door
    And as I stepped out into the green-grey haze
    Of the afternoon thunderstorm
    I hit the street like a crumpled candy wrapper
    And blew away. just like I did… this piece BLOWS me away…. The doorknob, cool brass doorknob… the springtime windyday… and I must say I can see this piece performed and it would leave all the girlies simply swooning… hit the streets like a crumpled candy wrapper and blew away…. A DAMN fine ending, like… cowabunga DAMN fine! Like, SHAZZAM and whatnot!
    claps hands like a little girl :D… wow, did you know that in Word, if you surround a phrase with asterisks, it turns bold??
