these roses reek...
re-de-hydrated cat pee
steaming in the sun
the baby's breath
of putrid death
fills this corner of my home
a love unwelcome to the scorned
but it's okay
because i have died twice today
so i know i'm able
even though i constantly slap my own hand
step back man
she's just not ready
piece together
my prescribed dance
step to two
my baby's shoulders
dance and pretend
dance and pretend
she dances too

that part just kills me, but i can't stop singing it in my head
i chopped many MANY things out before posting that
coleen, you were "gone" for a long time! have you written?
gosh, i daresay woman, you were missed!
you brilliantly express yourself time and again.
thank you for the kind words tenaciousA, i honestly didn't realize that my "absence" would have been noticeable. i've been here all along reading...i guess i was just feeling a bit on the quiet side.
i'm writing more now then ever but at the moment its difficult for me to share. i guess i need some more distance from them or at least continue to work toward a better perspective.
keep up the good work, i'm watching you.
but i suppose i'll be patient...
be well
You're slapping your own hand and I'm slapping my own face!
Good stuff tenaciousA! I'm kinda wondering what you chopped, since you mentionned it. What can I say, I'm a sucker for things in their original form.
Nice to see you out and about!
But roses? Worse than ageing coalmine steeds,
if the giver's icky like the scent
of scrunched up paper used to wipe a vent.
just the give and take
one foot in front of the other makes
the one
the two
the three four five six seven eight
no more dreams
lie down cold steel blue pain
lie down the infamy
that brought me
myself and I to rain
oh how did it go?
i swear
by all gods
i used to know
bring it down baby
a chance to dream
love the targetless
over in the dark
change the color of
my our black heart
make it real, baby
love
love
love
love
love
love
love
love
love
it's creaky now remember
how it's easy
just like cleaning house
smile
right
smile?
right
later
dad's new girlfriend who says "stop" all the time like i used to
and how he treats her, keeps her wrapped tight...
the poor thing wants to call her "mom", too sometimes
in case she forgets
because it is so hard to get the dynamic
it'll always be a featherweight painting with
an offset hanger on a crooked hook,
beautiful and perfect,
just unable to be straight
because it isn't and never was
and...
she just wants everything right and easy
and i touch her face and am honest under threat...
she says she will call my new
someday love "chickenhead"
because he will be funny
and i marvel at her I.Q.
and am amazed with
how much light slips through
when i open the door
quietly
the stops removed...
i am in desparate love
with these gifts from God
my belief in Divinity unshakable
God Blessed
some really forceful verses there, like:
"but it's okay
because i have died twice today"
and I really liked the ending too
piece together
my prescribed dance
step to two
my baby's shoulders
dance and pretend
dance and pretend
she dances too
I think it's very effective how you repeat "dance and pretend"
nice work!
Buru
great stuff!!
(isn't that stupid? a shower in moonbeams... come on)
but i did
the fat moon
two days past full
spent and flowing
the soulmilk guinessdark
watered my hope's vinyard
and no birds sang
aloud, that is to say
but the choir in my mind
jet the hours away
bubbling charmed promises
of an alive life lived in real time only
once my full had
i spent the next
sleeping without dreams
because there are only a couple of things
i have with want
not need
....peace my happy people
peace and spring...
The proof again.
The burning pyre
In the middle of heaven
That'll never get caught
It'll just burn forever, won't it?
To burn forever.
Put it out.
these pieces are making me blush, though
sheshe, did I write that?
wowsers, lol
i'm so glad time moves in only one direction mostly
mentalcow... nIce name
chewing and chewing and gluing their tails
to their asses, refastened. each donkey's breath brayed
at the grass growing superfast under their hooves
on the otherside, planetoid reindeers on roofs
triple tip toe, wake up slow on this silver day.
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake...
on the roof of a railway man's cabin
looked out through the market stalls, haddock and tripe
to the sight of a blue breasted robin
chirping like fook on a tarpaulin roof
going iddle yay thriddle yay yay hoo
"Yay! A festivus miracle! I'll get the proof!"
cried poor Tom, scraping up bluey bird poo :cool:

My podcast: Hotel Manager Talk- Dedicated to Hotel Employees, tell your friends. http://www.HotelManagerTalk.com
one of my favorite pieces ever written by any writer at this moment in time. I feel blessed to have had it shared. I hope to know this person one day.
"Jesus Christ."
"Seriously, man, don't be an asshole, who was he really?"
"Jesus Christ."
"No shit? What'd he want?"
"My apple pie and a cigarette."
