How the trip never stops
On and on its beyond insane
Why I set myself up
In a ragin sea of flames
You're fit ta learn the proper meaning of a beat down
Madness chaos in the brain
Let my blood flow make my blood flow through you mane
You got no business questioning a thang

Never not on it leanin so hard you're ashamed
You can't dismiss this sickness huffs your brain
Exhale your will and forget I ever knew you
Fuck do you do
Fuck a man wit hips for hulu
Rack a snitch chalk and cue you
Corner pocket consume you
Too many hoes in my
Too many hoes in my muthafuckin meal
Askin if I know how a muthafucka feels
How a muthafucka feels
Slit them choke flip them boat
Dead bitch float swollen corpse
No remorse navigated off course
Of course I can make you scream but if you ask for more
Bullshit matador grab the floor whip it cracked to all fours
You whimper while I check my phone
Who's next assassin roam
Music drifts I have no home
Choose this life you're on your own

Brave, deranged, mangled and split,
how it came to this–the rungs and steps,
bent and stood, are well known now,
as if they weren't flying sow.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I fell asleep in the space bar, diseased
with a brief case of confusion and un-
certainty, a new ton pulling me numb.
Your very first memory. Don't jump:

Home is where the heart is and
(this isn't a distraction from line-
cutting prose)
so being made of tin more or less
makes me homeless.

Suddenly. In December. I am up to my knees in snow.
Talking to you and getting no answer. You're silent.
Darling, so it has actually happened. Our whole life,
the smiles, the tears and the courage. Your sewing machine
and all the late nights. And finally our travels:
under the snow. Under the withered wreath.

Everything went so fast. Two staring eyes. Words
I didn't understand, which you repeated and repeated.
And then suddenly nothing more. You slept.
And now they're laying here. All the days, the summer nights,
the grapes in Valladolid, the sunsets in Nemi
under the snow. Under the withered wreath.

Instantly, as with a flick of the switch,
are all the images behind the eye toned down,
erased off life's blackboard. Or are they not?
Your new dress, my face and our stairs
and everything you carried to the house. is it gone
under the snow. Under the withered wreath?

Dearest friend, where is our happiness now,
the good hands, the young smiles,
your hair's golden wreath over your forehead, your courage
and this abundance of life and hope?
Under the snow. Under the withered wreath.

Friend past death. Take me down to you.
Side by side. Let us see the unknown.
Here is so mournful now and darkness gathers.
Words become so few and no one is listening.
Loved one, you who sleep. Eurydice.
Under the snow. Under the withered wreath.

I normally don't post in these threads (or at all these days) but I've been working on a serious poem for days stuck on a couple of lines, and then decided to pound out a quick 10 minute poem to get me out of a block. Not polished, and since it's overtly Herbert/Donne I have little reason to hold onto it

Could candles climb to walk aside their flame
In arms-at-length, with wind between their hair,
And stride of Time between their step the same
Embrace from Now to Then that brights their air --

Let us unlight our heavy purple sheets
From that in which it carries us, and I
From you that burdens me from dark to light;
Hereon from night-stands will communion lie
And 'til our blood no longer dyes
I'll lay beside thee not, but stand beneath the night.

Breathing clouds of rain
The flood washes away
My time I bide
The fog of the bay

Perched on the rocks
Tangled in vines
We come back down
Pushed by the tide

Sea of isolation
Budding shine
Fields of Lotus
Blooming in mind
Isle of hubris
Channels that bind
Fields of Lotus
Blooming through time


Stars blinding
Oceans sunny
Cast in milk
Sealed in honey

We remain,
Spirits apart
The ships lost
Sum of its parts

Fields of Lotus
Blooming in mind
Smells of you
That I can’t find
Fields of Lotus
Where I bide my time.

Art is dead
She said,
We knocked boots
Footloose
Cheeks red
And beaks wet
//
Her glowing back dripped sweat
Loose skin
Wingspan
I was her man
She, my savior
//
Like Björk,
Her human behavior
Was alien
To me
We couldn't see
Eye to eye
Angelic lenses
That bend light
//
Too white
We come apart like feathers
Tendrils wrap round my brain
I forget her

She exists
As a stone
In my stomach
Painful at times
But she's the one that I drink

Sexed, the plicking plucking deep, the rummage,
Sweating oh rings out of pores, the bellies
Hold no contents but are contents, sadly,
Qui va là, bodies hang like bats, halté!

Temper tempor in the head ticks tocking,
Post-coil, broil and trouble behind the curtains,
Rapiers doddle into pudding, dirty sheets
Like hells of ghosts, the grabbing, grabbing, gone.

Different kind, sleeping next to sex and
Body heat, dolphins, sea-turtles, salted beach,

watch out for cliches. the short sentences are nice but the first word being "suddenly" and the "the smiles, the tears and the courage"-esque lines seem sort of corny to me. im also not a fan of poems with stanzas that all end in the same way, but that's just personal taste. probably the only poem in the thread with any potential or worth, good job

What mountain crevice now claims its right
over this severed hand, still clutching tight
to some broken gear-instrument? Steel and tin
have put trees to execution. Animals crawl from their
hiding places after the downpour, creatures caught
in the storm now trudge, exhausted, terrified of air.
If snow fell, who could pull the frost from the rot?

Why pick your way through the remains of what’s
left, when all the parts are forgotten by dawn?
The hillside becomes blankets, thoughts
and bones, with the sound of bodies clunking down
on the earth and sucked back up into the air drenched in
hydraulic fluid, hammering let me in let me in, don’t think

With every year
Comes that time

When perfection reigns, joy is conceptualized
Aristotle's illumination basks us

Offering shocks of night
And jolts of day

Forging memories fused with serenity and imbued with bliss
As Plato's rays feed us life

And with its conclusion
Depravity reemerges, like the death of Augustus

And witnessing with bare eyes
The successor of epitomized perfection; corrosion

Looking up and gazing upon the brightness and its confident intensity
Feeling, touching, desiring, loving;

Socrates' light is nowhere to be found

Uppsala.
In Scandinavia she's waiting for you...

Those afternoons, leaning into the summer months,
The air's scent filled with your subtle ambitions

And a late evening,
Under a wine-reddening sky, the school was silent
were we readying for winter or summer then?
We kicked a ball about in a lane way
With a boot-strike it flew out into the courtyard's openness
Skybound for the the bruising sky
And the soccer ball flew up...

Come lad,
In Scandinavia she's waiting for you.
A northbound round passes through
a town in a mountain pass, she's there.
Floating down to it now, slowly,
below your feet you see the snow-filled square
growing larger and larger,
as you're coming down to earth.
She's there looking across at the old clock tower
from the bench she's sitting on, the one you love.
But maybe she isn't waiting for you
Maybe she doesn't love you back.

Insects crawl through the spaces
of damp earth between tufts of grass
underneath which something of unknown meaning and value
lies hidden and will never be found.
To find it, you would have to tear up the whole yard.
Even if underneath the inexplicable slab of rock out back
was the secret mystery of a forgotten reptile,
or the remains of a human being,
it would not be worth the sacrifice.
(where would the dog play?)

The grass is blueish if you stay up late
or wake up early enough. If you’re there,
you can see the wasps parade angrily or joyfully
around the white porch light I forgot to switch off
You can enter through the door I forgot to lock, but please don’t.
Stay later, outside, to see the other light
hum yellow through the misshapen blinds in my room
and then disappear
while the clouds inflate with a slow and gradient exhale from the sun.

You are the result of divinity at climax
Shot forth as God’s seed
not as a plan but as a pleasure uncontrolled
You are the self-reflection of God
Attempting to capture your beauty in stone or ink would be nothing
For nothing but happiness uncontrolled
(a solidified presence of being)
could make you in your image
You are the long sigh of the universe
The heat death of the self
You are the result of divinity at climax
Shot forth as God’s seed

Out here
The breeze blows by
Cheap wind chimes,
And dead lawn trees.
Sleeping dogs stay quiet
Till doors slam shut
Giving them reason to bark again.
Drones from air conditioners,
And planes flying over high
Are the lonely sounds you hear
Floating in thin fog-filled air.
The sky is flooded
By the city’s far-reaching lights.
They keep me
From the stars
I know you
Can still see,
And the same picture
Looks more different than should be.
The only thing connecting us two now
Is the moon,
Shining high in the empty night dividing us.

A year has left our skin much paler
A month could tear my hair from my hands.
your eyes once fell over my lips,
once touched upon the molded,
twisted,
cracked and hurting visage of my spine.
And you once held me up-
like some loving pillar,
like some specter of care and peaches
with cinnamon lips and a strawberry tongue.

A year has gone and you, gone with it
The months crawl around my skin
like little bugs that know my name
that know my ache
that see me for what I am.
And my bones-
They have always been warped and twisting,
spinning away from me in contempt.
My spine lays as a rusted bridge,
my legs and arms
an aged spire of ache and longing.

And on those days-
those months-
those years--
Where I can't leave my bed,
Though I should think of new constructions,
I will think of you,
and your flying eyes,
your pale skin,
instead.

Why is the machine made
With pulleys can only be
Touched by a woman's hand?

Poor, to lack a running hand
Must be joined, or rust –

I went to run, but the wind was cold
It said, “Alone? Your fathers and theirs led to this,
And theirs, and all this world of running in the sun
And you alone?”

Gleaned from a fleshy bloom

Porwanych przez chłodny powiew z podłoża
Do kolorowego tańca na tle płaczącego nieba
By następnie opaść spokojnie na ziemię

W takt późnojesiennego wiatru
Niosącym w powietrzu cichą piosenkę
Jak matka, co swą pociechę do snu tuli

W ręce dzierżył szeleszczący zwitek papieru
Próbującego uciec ze sztywnego uścisku
Który wcześniej atramentem zapisał

Best and simplest one I've ever written I think:

I, the poet William Yeats,
With old mill boards and sea-green slates,
And smithy work from the Gort forge,
Restored this tower for my wife George;
And may these characters remain
When all is ruin once again.

I can see the lights of the streets in the
Lights of this computer’s screen. Fuck:
I think I have the solution to all the problems of life.

The meaning of life is beer
And chocolate.

‘I love you baby’‘I love you too’‘I love you more’
‘I love you double’
‘I love you infinite’
‘I love you infinite plus one’‘I think you love me more than I do you’
‘Do me.’They looked at each other and five minutes after
They were passionately fucking.

My name is Casanova
I’m basically a Man. I was waiting for a tram,

I didn’t have the time
I didn’t know the names of the streets
I was sixbeers drunk and
I entered a tram and asked the driver
‘Does this go to Anonsville?’

He nodded and said
‘Pass.’

I look out the window,

Full moon, fuck.
‘Art thou pale for weariness
‘Of climbing the skies and gazing upon the earth,
‘Wandering companionless among the stars of a different birth’
Fuck that’s not it,
‘Art thou pale for weariness
‘Of climbing the eart—‘
Fuck,
‘Art thou pale for weariness
‘Of climbing the skies
And gazing upon the earth,
Finding no object worth its constancy’
Fuck no something’s missing.

I love these girls passing by,
They are wearing shortshorts and they look like fruits
On a juicy tree,

Their fathers should be ashamed.

That father yonder is wearing glasses that are nerdier
Than Woody Allen’s.
Yet her ¿thirteen?-year-old daughter looks like a total slut.
I don’t mind.

But I feel bad for her father, I must say.

I’m here to be the one who sees.
Kids are playing with legos here at the café,
They dropped some pieces here near the table I’m sitting by.
I feel the obligation to go put the lego pieces back where they’re playing.
Their parents are there with them.
I am autistic and I go there, and put the legos at the playing-table,
Their fathers now have me marked.

I go back to my table,
and finish my coffee, observed.

5.

If my parents knew I was writing such profanities,
I’d be dead.
I wouldn’t feel ashamed, not exactly,
But society wouldn’t see me the same way;
They wouldn’t allow me to be treated as a normal person anymore.
I wouldn’t be a normal person anymore to them, so I’d be deprived of
A lot of what is usually given to me.
I’d be an outcast.
If such things were discovered about me, I’d either
(1) Kill myself
(2) Flee

Legs with longish share,

I’m dumb as shit and fuck ass-ugly,

Yet I can’t help but feel
I’m too good for these tenten whores.

By the painful lights of my computer’s screen I am feverish and I write,
I type and write and I whine about everything I’ve seen and felt,
I pretend I have an audience and that anyone gives a shit,
And no one does, and neither should I.

I’ve seen a french girl talk to her boyfriend,
Germans checking the bus schedule at eleven p.m.,
Fellow americans consulting me to check if a given bus would arrive at
The given bus station at the given time or whether they would be there later
At another given time for their specific convenient scheduled time,
(And they have the schedule right there, but they’d rather consult with me, their
Twelvebeers drunk stranger friend, than check the schedule that’s right there,
Just fucking look there),
And I look at them, the teen couple (maybe twenties), and I say
‘Yeah sure.’

They say
‘Thank you’
‘Thank you’
And leave.

Five minutes later I realize I actually was wrong
And might have ruined their night and plans but I’m thirteenbeers drunk and I don’t give a fuck.

O blackened Earth,
You coarse dark soil,
Giver of life and taker of dead,
Your qualities, both soft and hard;
Are you and I the same?

We give, yet rarely take,
Always trampled underfoot,
Yet we never dare utter a complaint
For ingratitude, O how we endure
And refrain from tears.

This craggy exterior we share,
Yet our constitution rich,
Our cold-hardened surface
Lets little light shine through.

And who can blame us, O Earth?
For lack of Light and Hope?
As those whom we adore, with loving eyes and dirty hands
Breach our breasts, uprooting
The very sinews of our Being.

But do not fret, sweet Earth,
For our chance, too, will come:
Let the chasm of our heart split open
Swallowing whole those of Janus-face—
We bury our Love with them.

Only then shall I achieve what my heart covets

The blaring horns are a peasant’s appeals
I’m your slave, forever following behind

A screech and a shout and a staggering force
My fragile body is hurled into the air
It falls to the ground like a plane off its course
Like a beast missing its beloved snare

Images of you flash before my dazed eyes
And I watched in adoration with heavy eyelids
With a smile on my face and the weight of my vice,

In the way towards light.)

Say it without a happy depth

And have not ever valued a need
And therefore, never known.

Prince or princess of men
who despite themselves, still
Battle for the position.
and it requires a
Read from an old script that he or she is
Still building, fortifying in

Growing tall above the grass.

When he Determined himself, made herself aware, their pool of conscious
Shifting. Incessantly.
By the morning, they
Found themselves on the ark of the year, asleep, and still moving
With new abandon. And the couple signed the days of their future
Nine by nine and in exchange,
Placed bandages over their eyes
Might Everything be explained. And they sulked like this,
Discreetly through the hallway, wearing nothing
But envy, scrolling itself down paper and text.
And from here on they walked, first
Through the bough of the tree, through each individual limb.
And nothing fell from her eyes.
It is our own celebration, and you do not cry in it’s term.
Holding entirely still, no sound or vibration
Is left unopened, streaks of its ash whirling thru miles of the past.
I haven’t woken yet.
There is nothing to fear, there is nothing disturbed.
It is centuries later, and I have finally died, my breath riding the waves of the pasture.

said priam to greek soldiers,
"are you guys freshmen?"

imagery


I don't know shit about poetry.
I never “get” poems
So my go-to line is, “Good imagery.”
This is because no matter how much wordplay you don't catch,
or how much alliteration,
or how many metaphors, similes, allegories, rhyme schemes,
meters, allusions, rhythms, or anachronisms,
there is always going to be some kind of image.
So:

Good imagery.
I commute to NEIT:
forty minutes each way each weekday to study IT.
My pack is filled with papers,
poems, post-its, pens, pencil,
scraps of white paper
and

Outside:
Big billboards swooping by like fat birds blue
lights flickering and fading from cop cars up
canal street, studded with streetlamps.
At 3am
everyone in the world smokes cigarettes.
Stale city air staples shut all the bar doors
and its all gibberish to me.
But I like the imagery
I guess.

Your whiskers broke note of pain
From bell struck, it fell away.
When at first you felt its grasp
What taste that came you passed?

Was it just a friendly game?
Feline claws a joke to play.
Your dice thrown out to the void,
In black it hopes to hide.

I met the one who plucked you
From your wild habitat.
It held no fear against me,
Short-haired Siamese cat.

Your leg crippled, your stride dead.
The hard baked dirt waits for you.
There is no more hope to run
So the dark becomes friend.

Little mouse I waited for you,
To nestle comfortably away.
But for sure if I can see you
Then you will be another's prey.

There was no help I could give,
Little mouse I wish you well.
But for sure if I can feel it
We're doomed to serve this bell.

Take a last look at me from your hide-away,
Still quiet before the storm, tucked away.
Because if I am, as I seem, your one true faith,
Your God.
Then you and I both little mouse
Are well and truly fucked.

Hygieia herself weeps, over her enduring enemy.
What sayeth you, you! purveyor of stained teeth eternal?

“I am plaque bitch.”

Fair enough.

Your existence is an insult to my excessively obsessive persona. Mild paranoia.

Hold fast, for your wreckage awaits, my riveting rival.
Tooth brush and paste, we’ll lay you to waste.
Delight seizes my face, at that first menthol taste.

Now my momma raised me right, but right now
violence is the answer.
I feel like Ted Bundy with a new cheese grater.

Reader, have you been so fortunate to hear a brush washing (rapping) against the concrete?
Because when my eyes closed, my lips pursed,
my wrist gyrated, with neat micro circles.
There goes my platoon, rushing no-man’s land, we stick the marble flag in her trenches
(though I insist on her persistence, by morning her trenches she’ll reclaim.)

But have you heard the rapping on the concrete?

A man is not a man
Unless he can stare directly
Into the hobbly knobbly
Trench-coat machine.
For Twenty-five minutes.
Saliva no breaks.
Or bends.

Consecutive minutes all of them
Spent with water pouring down my neck.
Into my lungs and soaking deep.
This treasure machine is how we speak.

Put open up to with no care where.

That was the prettiest UV
This X-ray would ever see.
But he was gone now
And so should she.

Deleted, it has come to pass.
Dawn meets dusk.
Dark meets light.
It causes a fight.

Difference makes us mad.
And so I stay, in my way,
First and last, always the same.

Needing a time not needed.
Escaping within mass without.

That last straw,
Is accepted by the hand
Of hope. That hand up,
And that hand down.
Reflective matter. Reflecting itself.
Look up! It;s there and it's gone.
The image you selected.
The master you reflected.
Innately brainwash perfected.

Weapons all in hand.

Be pretty or starve yourself:

Pain from the expected
Coming not to pass.
Take what is expected
Put it were is now.

The part where self becomes a dream
Which, set in the olives, takes our memories
Paint them all over a dead seagull
From the future of cinema we bring you.

The person that is lied
Set apart in golden skies.
Free to believe in scratchings
Carved from the farthest point.

Depending on how large you like the pie.
Depending on how big your pie is.

The Spider’s Lament

Receded in a boardwalk’s frame,
Arranged against the lice,
A spider bought a Home and Name
Above the asking Price.

His spinning art was long extinguished,
Though enviable before,
And in his prime had been distinguished
Where now he spun no more.

So with a rudimentary web
and furnished with his flies,
Pacing at a flow and ebb
He made to compromise;

“How many legs on which to walk,
How many eyes to see:
And seen I have that swinging clock
In dull complacency.

“Of walking I have gone so far
Between our many skies
I lassoed down the Holy Star
when it was set to rise.

What industry I exercised
And smelted from the rock
In fire and faith I swam baptized
And drowned in smallest talk

I sustained grievous company
and various suicides
I swindled some son’s sympathy
When my thirteenth father died.

I’ve practiced many foreign faiths
And prayed on every leg
Allah on fourth, Vishnu on eighth,
and Croesus in my head.

For every foot that stalks above
I multiply fourscore
And for each digit to the glove –
That I could palm yet more!

Indebted to that old conceit
I’ll call myself a king
Of hollow peanuts at my feet
The breathless children bring.

Salubrious hotels are trite,
The house an idle thing
As wood will feed each hapless mite
So air my spider string.

All these amassed I’ll call my lot
Appraisers will deny
Entitlements my web has caught
Where he will weigh a fly.”

The Spider spits each knotted thread
As famous drunks once sang
Receded past the plot of death
And twisted there will hang.

So, too, has another spun her silk
over my lids, in dust,
yet no attention is payed
of the booth, doused in web,
lacking brood of any.

Swift is the breeze culled in
fields, and she sees of two ponds,
heaving inward,
boasting turqen rims, edg-ed,
but so too receding to powder,
n’ neutral to navy
and a last glimpse of pitch
where sunlight not pen,
but dwells still;
what a wishing hole
I’ve thrown myself to!
and not shall I hold my eyes
for too long,
lest I lose them completely.

I wrote this in 2 minutes of unbroken typing, with no edits, for a class... So be gentle

I remember ideas that I can’t rationalize any more
I remember dreams, unadulterated by pretenses of the way things are
I remember thinking every adult had my best interest in mind
I remember having to look up at people
I remember the omniscience of all adults
I remember having courage because I didn’t yet know how to be afraid
I remember not being able to even comprehend my life in 10 years
I remember life never looking grim
I’m not sure if I can very well anymore
But I think I remember a life
Albeit a young life
Where I was shielded from anything wrong or unjust or obscene
What a utopia the world seemed that way
And there was a revelation
And that’s the part I just don’t remember
But there was a moment where I truly realized the evil of human nature
Maybe it was the first time I did a history unit on slavery
But I remember all people being inherently good
And I remember, and live in undying cynicism
and where one died and the other began is the only thing I can’t remember.
I wonder when I learned that the world didn’t revolve around me
That must have been a harsh awakening
But every human has experienced it
Not even Ghandi was born selfless
Your mother showers you with attention early in life
And then there’s a moment when you discover that there are other people
And it’s just devastating
Some people adjust to it better than others

To me there is naught more intimidating than a blank piece of paper
As my cursor flashes, or my pen wavers
The abstract words floating in my mind cry to me
They want to be placed in the right order
with the right cadence
to say the right thing
I feel an obligation to these words
As if I must do them justice
As if they were not of my own creation

The words suddenly spill onto the page
the stream of consciousness that both is and is not my own
As the writing begins it is frenzied
The words are begging to be written
My hands can't write fast enough
To keep up with the rapid thoughts
dying to be realized on the page

But as time goes on the pace slows
until it fully stops
and I pull back from my literary tunnel vision to examine what finally tumbled out
To see if the pieces fell into place
And they often don’t
I’m tortured by how far the regurgitation of my thoughts deviates
from the piece of writing in my mind’s eye.
And so I tweak, and edit
and in some cases fully retract
interpretations of my own thoughts that are not true to my original intention
until at long last the cries of words out of place
or unsaid
or wrongly said
hush to a murmur

This murmur is omnipresent
Words whisper that they still aren’t perfect
You can never be done
But with enough work you can quiet the words
not to a level of perfection
but a level of imperfection satisfactory enough to be called complete
Sometimes I look at things I have written before
as I will look upon this poem
and the words still softly cry that they are out of place
and I look at these words
the butchering of thoughts far more eloquent
and I feel like I have failed them

When looking on the present state of things,
I see one man, of men the meanest too!
Raised up to sway the world, to do, undo,
With mighty nations for his underlings,
The great events with which old story rings
Seem vain and hollow; I find nothing great:
Nothing is left which I can venerate;
So that a doubt almost within me springs
Of providence, such emptiness at length
Seems at the heart of all things. But, great God!
I measure back the steps which I have trod:
And tremble, seeing whence proceeds the strength
Of such poor Instruments, with thoughts sublime
I tremble at the sorrow of the time.

That first one is trash. The other two are acceptable. "fuck this shit" is never something anyone should say. Be more creative. More creative is more funny.

Title: Me Ward

Me, a Chinese fella and an old bloke,
Who looked like Mr Burns from 'The Simpsons',
Don't know what was wrong with him,
But breaking wind was the symptoms.
No one visited him or called him.
He seemed quite lost to me.
As well as wind problems,
He had a colostomy.
When I left,
I said "see ya" to the old man.
Turned out the other fella wasn't Chinese,
He was from Japan

you stole my soul
you stole my soul
all these sins define character
Ive got an absence of that
drugs joblessness incongruence
its all an aspect of self
all Ive got is my delusions
and a medication that deprives
made by some scientists
who knew nothing of me
you go on about your master plan
really your holding the deck
in your idle hands
dropping what suits your mood
as though your the man
im sorry but I had to say it
youve got a big head
and a big stead to do as you please
but really your the same as me
just another punk mc
whos really holding back
youre whole crew is a bunch
of paranoid crackheads
bottom line youre crazy
and you have the audacity
to project those insecurities
man why do I even pay attention
you want riches and spirit
those designer clothes have holes
at least that should be the status quo
because it would denote
the truth about your skillset
a man blessed with heritage
but not much else

"Please" I cried out in desperation
But she wouldn't lose her inhibition

"Let me stick it in your ass", I said
"But you are way too big" she pled.

"i will enter slowly" I replied
To change her mind in vain I tried

Defeated, I implored for a titty fuck
But even for that, I was out of luck

This bitch was getting on my nerves
I stil persisted as she had them curves
The ass was fat, the rack was great
although I hope she wasn't bait.

prudish hooker in my bed
Oh if only she were dead.

From the angry pimp I ran
and now I stand a happy man

I thought that was the point. I imagined you reading out your first thought for a line, which was the words 'I love you I proclaimed', so you were saying them aloud to test out the sound, then were writing about your doing that. Like it was pomo; you were filling the poesy up with this huge romantic intensity that contrasted kinda interestingly with the idle, workaday content.

I just fapped and forgot how to love

a darling I have seen a while ago
on a subway train headed
to somewhere I don't know
I have bumped into her;
and with soft bend she bled a beam
that said the sweetest sorry
and I smiled, too and lay awake
a while before trying to dream
eyes that cast beauty under their peel
detailed divine turn abase on her kneel,
innocent subtlety shift to something obscene
restless beats peaked and receded serene
and with a heart delayed and brood set free
resolved all the planned intimacy
it's all mutual in my reverie
as sullied beauty is enough love for me

A trench of sighs has opened up
