    I've misplaced my crown
    They still call me king
    Is my blood any different from theirs?
    I cut myself shaving
    The blood wasn't blue
    Amongst the masses, I get stares
    If I ventured to the wrong part of town
    Trying to fit in
    Without my regal gown
    Dressed like the common folk
    Would anybody know who I am?

    If all you need is air to get high
    Why are you polluting it?


    No PN I don't like anybody really knowing me.

    bucks
    to receive gray love
    for, even in the wettest places,
    rain is proof
    that all is as it should be
    that the cycle is complete

    the cycle is a woman
    and the force is a man

    and off she goes, evaporating, again

    and here he comes,
    wrapping thick strong hands
    on the hip
    of the earth
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?

    My mom..........

    Time may have ravaged your body
    Your mind is still as sharp as a tack
    You fall down way too often now
    Your body shows too much blue and black
    Commercials we once joked about
    You are now the star
    "I've fallen and I can't get up"
    The crawl to the phone is so, so far
    If I could turn back the clock
    You know that would be my deed
    My working class hero
    Never ever filled with greed
    Too strong willed for a home
    Too much pride for your own good
    If I could cut my legs off and give them to you
    You know that I would
    For why work for the man
    To give your two sons a better life
    While your twilight years
    Fill up with pain and strife
    Life has taken me from you
    For I have my own road I must travel
    I would visit more often
    But, once leaving I unravel
    Your're still there for your brothers and sisters
    Like you are still in your prime
    Driving miles in times of need
    Never worrying about your time
    Time is what you give everybody
    Inluding my rottenest friends
    So if there is a god in the sky
    What is it's fucked up plans
    To burden you with pain
    Arthritis riddled right on through
    I will never speak for my brother
    But I'll be there for you
    You've changed your place in this world!

    I wish I could play the guitar
    outside underneath
    a big tree
    with lots of leaves
    and apple blossoms,
    alone in tall grass,
    or sitting cross legged
    on a blanket
    in the sand of
    a white and lonely beach
    and I wish I could play
    the piano in
    a giant hall
    with no people
    and hear the echoes
    of my fingers on
    the keys
    ringing in the walls
    and the ceiling.
    I want to sing to you
    in my flowy dress of cotton
    in a field of wildflowers
    with no one else
    there...

    You called me on the phone
    To tell me you're alone
    Something about being down and blue
    You were hoping I could bring a smile to you
    I jumped in my car
    I didn't have to go far
    When I knocked on the door to your place
    You answered with tears running down your face
    You had never been so sad
    You had never felt this bad
    You life had just fallen apart
    All from a broken heart
    You had called me up on a whim
    To clear your head of him
    Try and try to put a smile on your face
    This definately wasn't your day in space
    Finally a smile broke through all the glum
    You realized the wasted time with that bum
    As sure as the sun will rise in the sky
    All the tears had dried in your eyes
    A couple of jokes
    A couple of smokes
    Long talks of nothing
    Long talks about everything
    Your day was coming around
    I suggested we go downtown
    You just wanted to stay there
    With a guy, you said
    "Who did care"



    Thanks to "of the girl" for keeping up with the days. Very nice and some touching stuff you have been writing.

    Still waiting of the PastaNazi to return.

    There is only a week and a bit left for the "poetry" and thoughts month.

    To everyone...............KEEP ON WRITING AND READING

    You said hi and I did to
    Which led to something, no one knew
    Would grow to something like F'ing at lunch
    Eating up your cu** like it was brunch
    F'ing in your car, at your house while you husband was out
    F'ing until it's my name, not god's you shout
    F'ing you from France to Greece
    F'ing on the covers of your bed made of fleece
    F'ing you on the floor of your den
    Then putting you on the washing machine to F you again
    F'ing in you shower before going back to work
    Not talking to you again because I'm a F'ing jerk


    Enjoy the weekend everybody!!!!!!
    You've changed your place in this world!

    No PN I don't like anybody really knowing me.

    better stop posting thoughts and prose and poetry then, don't you think?

    otherwise there will be fields of thought that will follow you home, taste your food, thread your carpet and steal your space on your couch. They will know you in the end, even flow? and it will be good and better for us all.

    <raises hand> question... I have not participated in this thread until now and yet i have written this month...? do I still get credit? or do I have more homework to turn in yet?

    keep up the work you two...

    i wrote today. so there. it's elsewhere but it's here. so there, the where and the when. I qualify. Hence, you can't make me. It is the gray day.

    let me go
    I need a little air
    it might not be fresh
    but I need to take a walk

    it’s cold outside
    warmer out there
    then in here

    it might be dark
    just like how I’m feeling inside
    no need to fear for my safety
    I’ll blend in just fine

    my obscured shadow
    is on display under that streetlight
    a dead sillhouette

    u could join me
    if u wish
    but I won’t pay attention
    because I need to find myself
    and find myself fast

    here ya go bro.....



    my glass
    i consider it
    more full
    than empty
    some days
    it's filled more
    than others
    even days
    it holds
    only a drop
    is better
    than dry
    cracks formed
    in the container
    it withstood
    the pressure
    as best it could
    but finally shattered
    now my essence
    no longer contained
    spills forth
    unfettered
    my spirit
    free to spread
    where it will








    peace

    I starred at you
    thinking, why
    this will never work.
    I knew nothing about you.
    You weren't like the others

    I remember walking over to you
    so slow, so nervous, so unsure.
    Scared I'd never know you,
    Scared I'd never get to know you.

    I stood there looking at you,
    you looked so big, so new
    so complicated.

    I felt so unsure because
    I wasn't much taller than you.
    I picked you up,
    strapped you on
    you felt so right.
    And I knew at that moment
    I was a bass player.

    Jasmine tea
    Minute flowers
    blossoming in effluvial delta fans

    Lotus tea
    too-sweet milk
    and chased pond water

    A child’s song
    Through Jasmine
    sitar and slide
    fine

    A Lotus concept
    Unfolding chakrah
    Light-filled center
    But frog hop decanter

    Gross
