all the gold you can find
take it, nature is so kind.
plate your house with this gold
in golden mirror watch yourself grow old.
pair of golden shoes on your feet
you've got even a golden teeth.
you were greedy right from the start
people know you for your "golden" heart.
but when you die, you avid fool
gold comes back, nature is cruel.

parallel fictions and schizophrenic paranoia
the poster on my livingroom wall says: i want to believe.
i think it should say: i want to know.
but it says i want to believe. and it means i don't believe.
believe what? the picture where the text is?
or is it just there to brainwash me to believe anything?
(there's was a knock at my door.)
they sent me two of those.
i ordered just one. was it a mistake?
i like to think it was.
there's a word "lie" in the word "believe".
i don't remember why i bought this thing.
did i bought it at all?
maybe they sent me a wrong poster.
(i didn't answer the door.)
who made this poster? the picture is fake.
it's so obvious. and they know that too.
so maybe it's not the picture, maybe it's the text.
(i waited.)
but why two posters?
why even one?
i want to lie. there's the message.
they want to lie. and that means they know the truth.
(i got up and went to the kitchen.)
i want to believe. they don't believe, because they know.
(i looked through the window. there was a man waving at me.)
they want me to know it too.
why two posters? two different meanings.
i want to believe the lie.
(i ignored him. on my way back to the bedroom, i noticed a letter on the floor.) that means i don't believe the lie, i know it.
what do i know?
the lie or the truth?
the truth, i think.
(the letter said: so you didn't open the door. don't worry. there's a man outside waving to you. follow him.)
the truth that there's a lie about the truth.
why would i want to believe the lie?
(so i followed. i don't know why, but i'm glad i did. after i saw what happened to you down there.)

don't ask just do, remember?
i don't think we should be so near
we are doing this for her
damn, it's getting hot in here
view of the future
----------------------
look how happy they are,
their children playing,
in harmony, no cruelty,
no hatred among them.
i'm almost glad they did come
and conquer our world.
and i can see why
they locked us in these "houses".
they know us better than we ourselves.
look how happy they are.
they are what we're meant to be.

to that evil printing press

"deliver" is the word you should use,
when you change your ones into twos.
it's like you had a mind of your own,
when you're printing that tome...
of the book not known...yet.

Storm
A lost ship on a cold ocean I see,
Large clouds above that cast darkness and gloom.
And there in dispair's shadow turmoil breeds.
Raining on sad decks fall anguish and doom.
Tossed by waves of gray, the vessel flounders.
Bridled by heavy cargo and torn sail,
It rolls and wanders. The storm growns louder.
Threatening to plunder, a dark troubled gail.
From safe shore I yell, hold tight your strong grip!
Hold there yourself, against that stormy wind.
Do not surrender your troubled ship.
Hold there still your courage.
I see in the the distance a calm clear place.
Hold steady your courage. Give not pain's haste.
--Bowser Wowser

Love and Eyes
I look into thine Eyes
Their gaze lift,
Meet mine
Beautiful, soft grin
A pit in my stomach
many, or one pin
Incomparable beauty
Almost like a dream
But solid reality
I witness
Your Eyes gleam
"Be careful," I utter,
"I may fall in love with you."
"Who's falling?" she asks.
"I've already landed."

hey all! sorry i havent posted in a damn long time just been doing alot od stuff lately, any way heres a poem ive posted before but thin is the whole thing.
love hath sent doom?
Angels and demons in the light
look forth to bask, into the sight
a angel sit with wings abroad
touching grace, and aura awed
demon gazes a glimpse of her seen
beauty fills his mind; cuts so keen
vision, distant star burning bright
so pleasing is this to his sight
not a word to exchange to her
but now words in his lips quiver
nothing but whispers to come he,
watches her pass , and not to see.
spite, woe, and rage. fills his cruel mind
turns to red and wonders to hide.
demon ugly, non give a brow
and fate twisted would it allow
an angel of such beauty to,
look at something, that is over due
thoughts in his head, can I feel
can I love, known as this real ?
hell hath doomed eternal place
could she an angel kiss this face?
could the fates that weave destiny?
be upon such anger, harsh to me
Clotho who woof the thread of mine
Lachesis with length of life divine
and Atropos who cuts short
what is wrong or right in the court
shell decide, and bring forth my hell
set, incased in this ruthless cell
my body chained deformed, on lake
of this a new found, world and shake
thine demon into the depth feel
the angel love and seek is real
you must ascend to the kingdom
but forth to renounce all the doom
that you live and hold so familiar
move, rise and come to the healer
her light shines into your eyes now
I’m in love but I know not how
apprehension would it find me?
would it shed the light now, to see
upon this vision that forth daze
send me spinning , in mind and maze
alluring me to forsake this
a world of my unhappiness
but to give up all I hold dear
would fate really be for me fair?
would time forgive, what I’ve become?
what I’ve lost, and that which I love.
this girl that sits with features pure
sight, pupils enjoy, colors lure
and I would give anything to be,
with her, and to give this could she
in turn, love me? As with a soul
for thou, id give her all extol.
sitting there in the scarlet hell
I now will break free from this cell!
harsh lightning with eerie red glow
shall rive the sky’ apart, to show
celestial stair case, will deliver
on the vale of radiant shiver
me to the steps of heaven to,
clam thy love for her, and light’s hue.
journey long, but nothing worthless
for this enchantment, and her kiss
though hath not ever touched me or felt
I watch with, admired eyes melt
thoughts of something, passion that rise
this hell will not be my demise
soaring through the blaze, crimson fire
not nun, the vast ocean tinge sapphire
I shall now leave be hind, eternity
of pain and dark, climb brilliancy
set with her, caress and feel this
and never would I leave this greatness
graze the peak of the holy entrance
the gates of heaven stand advance
sit at the presence the portal
await judgment like a mortal
at the flight, and then trust upward
to the passage, waiting in the horde
then to travel through door , she stood
with grace, lift with soft hand, her hood
golden hair, in light bask, forth life
her wings now rise, and reach in rife
complexion fair, emerald eyes
share so much into heart, memorize,
this her charm delicate appearance
a now sought for, endless romance
stand and she came to my embrace
we stood ahold and in ‘other grace
the ground phantom, and then we fell
on our way, enfold fall to hell
a chasm, open and the mouth swallow
and the wind fell ,and we follow
into a ruby blaze, reaching out
plea not with the damned that shout
we will not stay in this blaze, scream
we awake to each other, was dream
awake in bed, holding ‘other again
and yet the feelings never wane
love hath sent no doom or pain.

I Kicked The Habit
I kicked the habit
cold turkey
I was just a junkie
whose life was a
setting sun
I was a glass of water
in the noon day
desert
I was headlights
in the trailing
night
But now I'm clean
and I probably
never really
loved her
anyway

a man was accused of theft
but how can he steal something there ain't
when the judge had finally left
a girl said: "he only stole my heart."
---------------------------------------
to my murderer
- - - - - - - -
what i remember from life
as i'm writing to you
is only you and your knife
and the pain that feels so true.
--------------------------------
i can see you every night
and sometimes in my dreams
but what i see is distant light
and you are only a star, it seems.
-------------------------------
nightmares during the day
make you laugh as you weep
you can listen, you certainly may
but i think it's time to sleep.
(return of the revenge of my crappy writings, part who knows what)
ps. oh, almost forgot. a smiley

TAMPONS
Transom beauty
Filtering in a state of washed brushing and willowing over me.
Tumbling down a glass of Radcliff glass on a tree
With light lighting up the sky, and no conjusctions, no alliterations, no screamers, no wolfs screaming the moon over higher than one can see his feet.
S does it drip like a butterbox
Some people told me to take out the butter and place long sticks o butterinia
Oh! How I was delighted.
Korning: By a river of dead-blood he told em his wings had outgrown his
Flight pattern
In a
Blind rush he was never focusing on his syntax and screaming
Like a thousand wolfs with no cause, no reason to rebel
He was tearing for three plants in a massive forest of dangered lights.
Tampons here! Tampons Here!
Birds exhausted thir oppurtunites and rushed to find another king perependicular to thes ea,
We rushed after them and found migrations was dramatically overrated.
Wwhhhhhate is it now? Are there danger ous days ahead?
ALBERT HIJACKED
Fulfilling pullingsucking bllod fromsemesn
I am free to give away my sole
From the sea
The crawled to my feet, in a swirling unisinspired brown mass of the moment
Like most of us at the moment
Tecumseh smiled a secondary smile and tore a thirdary book from the suppressed hungethe story of Indian American (blah!) movement
Take me.here swill falls into martini while you smile, and see me sitting
Uninhibited and unselfconscious
She was unknowing, while Albert was hijacked, and I was smiling.
