I haven't posted poetry online before, or even studied it much at all, but for some reason I was inspired to share. Here's some stuff I've written in the past. Comments are welcome, even just to say you read it.

 

 

 

 

 

UNREQUITED OBSESSION

you're the dinosaur between my toes

+the foreign object+

- - felt a few yards back

But your dinosaur brain doesn't notice

your over-size in my cleft

- - The festering friction..

you remain wedged

 

UNTITLED

Excuse me, Mr. Rude

you can't just walk up & do that

then back away like it's all

gonna be okay

cuz you affected me

I took it home with me

my head turned it over

and over

what you might have done

inadvertently

with no "excuse me"

I still tremor

& contemplate

your apparent lack of remorse

Running my hands over

the smalling bump

Wishing it was fresh

so I could apply

a new tactic

for hacking into

your system

 

 

~~ Okay

 

 

 

MYSTERY ME

It's comfy

flaked up

in fragments

breaking

variously

reflecting

pieces

of my face

out of order

 

Hidden from view

In front of

your image

my entirety

even I can't see

 

 

4/1/02

 

There's a flower somewhere

for me blooming

Waiting to wilt away

There's no way anyone can know

Where it lays

If I pick the wrong one

It will still wilt

Even the residue on my fingers

the scent I perceive

Can't tell the difference

There's no difference then

 

4/1/02 p.2

 

There's a virgin peach fuzz

In my anger

You're not invited

I have silly wine parties

But no one laughs

You combust my reverence

With your averting eyes

There's something within you

I'd love to smash

That part of you

That would love to smash..

 

An omited sentence takes away

That sentence

Omit me

It takes more than I can tell

Is it sick

To have a secret

That it wouldn't be so bad

To die in glory

Or assault

Is it pessimistic

To plan a fight to the death

Not expecting

Not desiring

Necessarily

to live

Is it sick

It's hardly a secret

You can tell how I talk

It's in the way that I walk

I'm a walking victim zombie

No one but me to stalk

 

 

GAMES?

Won't give it up - that emotion

And - nothing burns up inside

I'll have you know I'm an ocean

 

There's wealth & riches in the tide

 

How many times do I scream

- to myself

You do not affect me

 

Like that

- but quieter

 

Like a nightmare
