I Don't Miss AdolescenceMy sister calls to ask me if I'll do her makeup;
Mami promised that she would, but she's tired
and screamed when Maria reminded her senior prom
is tonight. She says, "I have a hickey on my neck,
something she doesn't want to cover, and you've always
done a better job of highlighting the subtle graces
inherent to my bone structure, the angles we share."

I say, "That's okay, but I can't pick you up,"

so she arrives in a flourish of exasperations,
telling me all the family business, waving her nails
in my face and talking about the pain of her extensions.
She says, "Do you think we need yellow concealer?
I plan to take pictures, and the last

Onyx DreamsOnyx Dreams

Fluctuations of sound waves vibrate the floor,
While the lights of my room glow brilliantly,
But as time winds down and my energy starts its decline,
My vision gets blurry and listening becomes hearing,
And hearing becomes simple background noise,
While Palaceer Lazaro’s words become filmy intonations
Yet, still creating a motion picture full of abstract images,
In my mind full of words and phrases that do nothing but stay stagnant,
And Slumber begins to wrap her warm hands around my head,
As she sweetly begins to pull me into black depths of rest,
A state of unconsciousness that will take me on a journey,
Through the grey abyss we call the center of our nervous system,
And once I fall into the pit of nothingness, the pit of onyx, for those few hours,
I will transform into an atramentous being with aphotic wings,
Because “black is free……..”

You were cold insideYour lips tasted of
summer, of warm days and
cherry-flavoured ice,
relaxing by the
pool side and
smiling against the sun.

You should have been too hot,
too sticky, too humid.
You should have
overheated, should have
melted into your bones until
they turned to ashes, but
it never happened.

I suppose I should have
seen it coming, but
I was so moonstruck over
the way you said my name, so
in love with the idea
of love, that I
didn't notice the way
your eyes bled
winter.

The HourglassWatch the hands go round and round.
Ahhhh, how long have I been sitting here,
Listening to the grandfather clock?
Watching him ticking away?
Watching the polished wood yellow and rot?
And with every sound he makes
More maggots eat his wooden flesh.

Every grain that falls is an eternity!
In the firelight you can see the glass.
The dust that coats the cracking bulb,
Listening to the sand that trickles down.
Listening to the passing hours.
With every grain that filters through
Another man sleeps eternally.

The sundial stands defiant!
From my leather chair I see it!
It stands defiant in the plaza below me!
Standing in the moonlit night.
Standin

7 - The Pet PoetI remember when Mommy bought you
a black-haired pet for your sweet sixteenth.
Its bronze collar said its name was "Poet."
You fed it noise from the out-of-tune piano,
intense moments involving flesh and razors,
and the occasional walk by the lake.

At first, he knew only the wolf's howl,
purging blood and flames onto the carpets.
Everywhere was a smell of extravagance --
like that woman's cheap perfume on the train to work.
But you cried a little less,
smiled a bit more.
And that was when Daddy stopped
trying to send it back to the shelter.

Soon, you even started watching T.V.
(and enjoyed food, dressed nice, made friends.)
But T

nothing specialthey tell you not to give up
because you have potential--
and to the ones who simply enjoy
you're probably fantastic
but to those who do
you're simply mediocre,
nothing to bat an
eyelash at.

you're not quite bad enough
to quit, but you're not
great enough to be
remembered.

unrequitedyou make my words
gather at the hollows
of my throat
until i choke on them.

my fingers ache to
hold you--
but my eyes ache to
cry.

you're nothing but heart break
wrapped in a bow
of something beautiful,
like the dust of grace from
fallen angels.

i drink a little faster and
cry a little harder
because the way whiskey and tears
mingle on my lips
tastes suspiciously of love.

Au coin de tes lèvres
Parolescentes

J'épluche tes souhaits
Tu laves le ciel
En vain

Et dans ce vent chaud
Des milliers de pétales
De peau

SeppukuA blue sky greets me as I kneel to the ground.
I hear the rushing wind and the sacred water sound.
The cold, grey stone upon my knee,
As I prepare myself for eternity.

I take a solemn look at my silent crowd,
Those cruel, dark faces scream so loud.
They want me to do the final deed.
I'll plunge the tanto in. They'll see me bleed.

I look for a while at my full rice bowl,
And prepare for the next cycle of my soul.
What shall I be? A man or god?
Shall my next life be lived in the mud and sod?

I finish quickly so we don't delay.
By now the light is fading away.
I take up the pen and start to write,
To put brush to paper is one last delight.

Thinking.Thinking without thought,
Not thinking about a lot.

Thinking about what it how it would be,
To have a thoughts as endless as the sea.

Thinking about the passing time,
About the mountains I have not climbed.

Thinking about a world gone by,
And about the big blue sky.

Thinking about love so sweet,
And of life crumbling at my feet.

To think about everything vast as it seems,
Would take as long as counting dreams.

So to think without a thought,
And not to think about a lot.

Would carry on an endless dream,
And let time unravel at it's seams.

No wordsI don't like to talk.
I feel that words cannot truly express what I feel.
When I am filled with emotion, I can find no word that can express what I feel to the fullest.
There is no word beautiful enough to describe this joy, no word horrible enough to describe this hate, no word ugly enough to describe this miserable existence.

a small dosage per daysorrow makes its way into my cup of tea every morning
so I add more spoonfuls of sugar into it,
hoping the sweetness will overpower the bitterness;

yet, this clever feeling still seeps through the sweet substance
and clings to the sugar's particles,
races through my veins
and scatters in my blood,

making an entire day feel ruined
already.

Equestrian StormEquestrian Storm

I was walking through Canterlot,
as rain beat my plot.
I just didn’t feel right,
before it came into my sight.

The princess of the night,
alone and broken.
What a pitiful sight,
out of my slump, twas awoken.

“Princess, why are you here why are you crying?”

“Because nopony loves our night, I would be better off dying!”

“No Luna no, now that you shouldn’t say!”

“And why ever not, what reason hath you that I should stay?”

“Celestia for one, your sister whom you love.”

“Right sure, the sister from whom to the moon I was shoved.”

“Lu

Left AloneYou want me to leave you alone? I'll leave you alone.

You want me to buy you a cake and a knife? Sure I'll do that.

So, what else do you need me to do? OK. That should be easy to do.

Here I go, walking to and fro, to unknown destination just so I can please you.

You hate my guts, huh? Well, to be honest, and I will not lie, I hate your guts too.

You see me and I see you, walking past each other each and everyday - We do not smile.

I often invision you surrounded by flames and you invision me drowning in the sea.

And here is my question to you: Why do you hate me so much?

You snarl as you echo my words: Why do YOU hate me so much?

The Boy Who WaitsThe train rolls past the selfish boy,
The boy who stands and waits forever,
The boy who watches the girl fly past,
And wishes she would get off at his stop.

The boy stuck in circles,
The boy who always needs help,
The shy boy with the social prowess of a shattered rock.

He waits and waits,
And every time she flies past,
He hopes and hopes.

She talks to him often,
But sometimes not so much,
He feels like he’s walking straight when she speaks,
Her words make sense to his boggled mind.

The boy at the station,
With eyes wide in anticipation,
The selfish boy who wishes good things to happen,
The boy who takes things for granted,
Who thin

MusicFloating through the keyhole,
A composition plays.
The notes of life, he stole,
From dreary, saddened days.

Dreams played in soft melodies,
Memory's smooth beat.
Instrumental tendencies,
Resonate through red velvet seats.

A nightmare's silent break,
Blends with F sharp's squeal.
Rules, he did forsake,
To put forth what is originally real.

In a rhythm of four and three
He'll lay a poor soul's tale.
In a single breath of harmony,
He'll be both strong and frail.

Tears trailing down faces
Give hope in fearful silence;
The composer's living work,
Finally speaks, and is understood.

HomeChurning memories
Go against reality's grain
To win the attention of an unwilling mind.
Healing's useless.
Inside, ashes are ground to dust.
Outside, smiles playfully shine.
You're lying to yourself.
Daytime brings happiness
And only laughter rings in
Still young ears.
Nighttime brings sadness
And voices to ring in
Wished-deaf ears.
Just give in, like always.
Dreamland is no better:
It's only memories
Knowingly misremembered,
So as to retain forever happiness.
That's it, dear.
Words on a screen,
Supposedly taking them all away,
Just trap them into
Brutally acknowledged reality.
Just a little more, darling.

EyesTunneling through a darkness
Ringed in blue and
Tinged with grey,
Searching for emotions.
Searching for you.
Honey, why are you so cold?
So blatant? So empty?
In those eyes of deepest blue,
I once saw trouble's playful spark.
Now there's only a candle's
Soft illumination, wavering,
Waiting to be blown out.
What happened to you, dear?
You used to be human,
Now all I see is blue agate stone.
I dig into those eyes with my own,
I dig so endlessly deep,
But I still can't find you, my dear.
Where did you go?
Are you hiding in there,
Like a child hides from thunder?
The thought of you crouched
In a hidden recess fearfully sobbi

BraveryFloating on a deep blue sea
Nothing seems amiss,
Yet there are memories
Hidden just beneath the surface.

Down where the sun rays stop
One began to silently drown.
Loving and wanted she felt not
As she breathed in a watery frown.

Sinking within the deep end
Only her tears caress,
For there is no heart to mend
As she sees light less and less.

When tears blended into water
She opened her arms
To welcome the Holy Father,
Instead, she received alms:

Light reached out
To caress in place of tears,
Extinguishing doubt
Giving courage to face old fears.

Wrapped in love anew
A child lets go a soft breath,
A mind twisted askew

HealingThank you.
You didn't do much.
But thank you.
In this world of mine,
Happiness tends to splinter,
And fall apart.
But you found the pieces.
You put them back together,
With forever-glue.
Granted, the splinters
Are still visible, but they
Give me strength.
They're little reminders
Of what used to hurt,
Of what can be fixed.
You helped me see the light,
Helped me to face it.
You gave me courage,
You gave me hope,
But most of all,
You gave me the knowledge
To never let it any of it
Ever hurt me again.
Now every time I stumble and fall,
I'll pick myself up with a smile,
And just keep moving forward.
You reminded me of so

...We'll make it through this, Hun.
I promise.
Liar.
Just keep moving forward.
Never look back.
You know that's impossible.
Give me your hand, darling.
Don't let go, okay?
I can't promise anything.
I love you.
I think I hate you…

The Adventures of Bloody Jack Faber

Literature / Poetry / Narrative / Free Verse

Beggin' in the Gutter
Fightin' in the Street
Drummin' out the cannons' Heartbeat

Learnin' to be a Lady
Busted down to Maid
Makin' sure the Preacher's debt is to be Paid

Visitin' home, Hearin' the cheater's Tome
Helpin' Werewolves with their Accuracy
Been convicted of Piracy

Goin' back to School
Stolen away to my home on the Waves
Captured and treated like one of Clarissa's Slaves

Runnin' from the King
Showin' off my Whistle and my Fiddle
Travelin' through America's Middle

Waitin' for my love's Return
Recruited to His Majesty's Agency
Spyin' on Boney and his Army

Cryin' for the marriage that is not yet to Be
Swimmin' for a ship and it's contents of Gold
Hidden deep within my Nancy is the fortune for me to grow Old

Finally captured, the sentence is Botany Bay
Intercepted by my beloved Pirate Queen
Together, we make such an interesting scene

Travelin' through India, all thought me dead
My poor Jaimy's gone insane:
Takin' revenge through his blindin' pain

Once again been shipped off to war,
But I didn't partake in the fight,
Instead I rode Spain's legendary bulls –oh what a sight!

All Me Life I've
Attracted Trouble
From Being Poor Little Mary
To La Belle Jeune Fille sans Merci
I May Lead Trouble Wherever I Go
But At Least I Have Friends Who Show Me
Love, Compassion, And Who Heal My Sorrow
