Someone recently asked who my favorite poet was. I told them Henry Rollins. This did not go over well. LOL!
This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper

I mean if they like his work or not.
I love Blake's poetry.
And I love me some crazy old Sylvia Plath.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
It was more along the lines of they didn't consider Henry Rollins "poetic"...even though he TOTALLY is!
P.S. Sylvia Plath is great...but I think way over my head! LOL!
show me something
One who could make my blood stop screaming
It feels good to kill a mosquito
A female that sucks your blood
Smashed against a wall, legs broken
I want to fall in love with a woman
One who loved me
One who could show me I could trust her
One who showed me
That I don't have to be on my guard all the time
Don't touch me
I'll feel too good
I'll fall apart
The only thing holding me together is my pain
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I didn't say anything.
She thought I was making up my mind and asked me again.
I told her that I wasn't going to answer that.
he said that she should keep her distance from me.
She said that one morning I'll wake up one morning
and find myself very alone.
If we were on a cliff I think I would have pushed her off.
There's nothing I hate more than people handing me lofty statements like they're these all knowing beings with supreme wisdom.
Like they really know me,
like they really know you.
She doesn't know the way I come from.
I said I had to leave,
I would have rather spent the evening watching bugs die.

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
I guess that would be the best way to cuddle with him every night then, huh?!
I love reading his work and listening to his spoken word.
He makes me feel better. lol
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Nice!!!!!!
Exactly! I'm a huge fan of his spoken word. He is so deep and yet so funny at the same time.
