Hey, I like writing poems. If you guys want to read them, that's cool, but if not I don't care. I enjoy writing them most of all. Now, I've read and written a lot of sad poems over the years. I'm sure you all have, too. Not necessarily a bad thing, but the genre is choked with entries. When the 9 year old whines about her allowance, the pain gets watered down, wouldn't you agree?

But here's a kicker. I recently took to writing sarcastic poems, channelling all my anger and frustration at a former friend of mine who proved quite conclusively that he was a boneheaded idiotic selfish git. So I figured I'd share the two poems I wrote about him, at the beginning and end of our troubles. (Ending, not surprisingly, at him threatening my life and then going away forever. I'm not too sad.)

The first is titled simply C.

all your burdens sag
with the weight of your conviction
your pain glows ever brighter
while your reason lies relinquished.

you piece your wrists with false dichotomies
and scream empty screams of your iniquities
you've crucified yourself upon your limp and soggy cross
and the mold of your half truth does sag it to the ground.
your ears are shut, you mind is closed.
holy temple to the lies you tell yourself.
far too caught up in this plastic crusade
of helping others to break on out and help them.

here is the truth, here is the key.
sacrifice is help. sacrifice is true.
give up what harms. no matter how dear.
mistaken opinions now brooded and sharpened
do stab the very hearts of those who would help,
in the deepest throes of your ignorance.

to cling is weak. letting go is strong.
to dissemble is weak. to rise above is strong.

you've wove a misty web of silk and satin lies
now choking you from greatness.

you are not a man.
you do not know how to be strong.

perhaps someday you'll break free.
But no longer with assistance from me.




Hey, I like it. The second is entitled He Who Was and Is No More. You'll probably figure out why.


you worship all the idols of your ignorance
never knowing what it's like to know
valiantly you battle all the ills within the world
your own heart made of silver and never fallen so
but your senses are your tricksters, telling lies on your behalf
you never wonder what it means to live and die, only be exactly what you want but never are
brittle your foundation, and glassy your self praise
both at once the martyr and the victor
but really only in your mind.

everything you are, you aren't,
and all you despise, you live as.
rich your fantasies, barren your realities,
and never the two shall meet.

powerful your rage and venomous your accusations,
but dirty is your honor and soiled as your virtues.
even as I turned away and spurned the path the very same,
you sold your rightness for righteous.
you drain everything you have
and bleed everything you love
seeking what you lack in yourself.

but being right, you never seek it,
and thus you'll never find what you need
most of all.

But you are are not a demon, no, far worse than that.
Lo, you are a murderer, and there is a body at your feet.
he wears your face and he lived your life.
he took hardships and rose above them to become a better man.
but you drain the blood of him to drink in your negativities and fears.
All that you wanted is destroyed by your hand.
you slew the man I called a friend
and you fail to take his place.




Phew. I liked it too. And if you don't like my work, please, please, don't tell me anything about it. I'd much rather get praised than get better.

Well, I thought I'd leave you with a little love poem I wrote for a boy who just absolutely captivated me. In fact, other than 3 or so other people this is the first time I've shared it with anyone, so enjoy. It's called Calm.

the exquisite tear of the
beautiful noise from the
divine lips in which I seek myself

the shape and touch of soft and smooth and silk and warm
next to which my heartbeats lie

the woven strands of a cap of gold upon the crown
of the real treasure of his reputation
nevertheless made sinful through overabundance

such things to possess I am careful not to envy
for such small thoughts would tarnish
the golden dream of the evitable reality
of the perfect future

Adonis would weep with sight of him
for such beauty of love and admiration surpasses even myth

careful not to touch but only to want and know and see
the delicate questions of the underused body do ask
but alas the quill of heart and parchment of deed may even be noticed

such loves of dream may be forged true





Well, that's my stuff. Let me know if you liked it at all. If you even read it, that is. If you didn't, no point in telling me about it.

What's up, good sir. Nice to see that exactly one person likes my work. One more than before. =( so alone.

Lol, j/k. I have so much attention I have no idea what to do with it all.

Anyway, it's less of poetry, but I figured I'd share the song I wrote after I had a discussion with my roommate. Long story short, the idea came that it would be quite strange if the person you were in love with was not alive. I, of course, volunteered to write that. Following in the footsteps of my predecessor, a Mr. T Pain, I wrote a cover of the song "I'm in love with a stripper," entitled obviously, "I'm in love with a zombie."

For maximum enjoyment, I recommend you pull up the lyrics to the original, and read them side by side, as the song plays. Without further ado.


Goddamn, little queen
You know you dead as hell
you understand what I'm sayin?

Matter fact, we're fightin them
You know were trying to live
Me and survivors gonna keep together
You know what I'm sayin?

I ain't worryin' bout keepin alive tho
I'm just lookin' at you
Ooh, hell, you know

(Cause I'm n luv wit a zombie)
She popping, she rottin', she smellin'
She climbin that wall and
(I'm in love with a zombie)
She trippin, bones breakin, flesh flakin,
I'm not escaping here, girl, I'm stayin

(I'm in luv wit a zombie)
She popping, she rottin', she smellin'
She climbin that wall and
(I'm in love with a zombie)
She trippin, bones breakin, flesh flakin,
I'm not escaping here, girl, I'm stayin
(****, geo romero)
(I'm in luv wit a zombie)

She's a moritician's dream
She's death's gift to earth
Women scared of em too
at least those that still alive

See, I love all dead ladies
Because they show me love
They know I never shoot to kill
Whenever I hit da mob

But I can't even lie
dead girls can sure fly
She shufflin on dat bloody floor
Got me runnin for life

Mr. Romero don't ever quit
But goddamn she dead
I can't lie, I must admit

(I'm in luv wit a zombie)
She popping, she rottin', she smellin'
She climbin that wall and
(I'm in love with a zombie)
She trippin, bones breakin, flesh flakin,
I'm not escaping here, girl, I'm stayin

(I'm in luv wit a zombie)
She popping, she rottin', she smellin'
She climbin that wall and
(I'm in love with a zombie)
She trippin, bones breakin, flesh flakin,
I'm not escaping here, girl, I'm stayin
(I'm in luv wit a zombie)
