			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="M" class="cap"><span>M</span></span>y bed is calling my name<br />
In various languages<br />
Visual delights of softness<br />
Accost my ears<br />
And flesh<br />
Biting the sights of supple wonder</p>
<p>I am tired</p>
<p>I am lost in the promise<br />
Of candlelight flames<br />
Dancing across vehement intrusion<br />
Behind my eyes<br />
Burning away reluctance<br />
The lack of acceptance<br />
For here<br />
I dream freely </p>
<p>Satin sheets<br />
Wrap warmth about the room<br />
Singing songs<br />
To stop time<br />
For all eternity<br />
The air is sweet<br />
As sweet as the dew<br />
Licked from heavenly sleeping bodies </p>
<p>Shallow breath<br />
Stirs rhyme with its rhythm<br />
Echoes through golden corridors of sleep<br />
Perfect chambers embrace<br />
The petals scattered softly<br />
At my feet<br />
I step on none<br />
In my ascent into the paradox</p>
<p>Light breezes soothe<br />
Yet ne’er to capture attention<br />
Only a mere wisp<br />
Of chestnut locks fallen across the eye<br />
Of yearning<br />
Can cause disturbance<br />
Disrupt the glance into forever</p>
<p>I beg of dreams<br />
To find me<br />
Plead at the feet of wandering<br />
To turn back<br />
And brush petals across my lips<br />
To temper the alarm </p>
<p>I lie silent</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>’m sick of it all<br />
Flowery verse<br />
Cheap prose<br />
Shallow meanderings<br />
Playing with my cock<br />
Blowing loads on paper<br />
Saying Van Gogh was here<br />
It all runs together<br />
Like maggoty meat in the trough<br />
Feeding the mass mannequin market</p>
<p>I’m the Poet<br />
With my head up my ass<br />
Examining<br />
My colon<br />
My intestines<br />
Reporting to the world<br />
Something<br />
Ain’t quite right in me ville</p>
<p>I need poetry that bleeds<br />
That makes me uncomfortable<br />
That has an edge<br />
That cuts me<br />
If I get too close</p>
<p>Poetry<br />
That grabs me by the throat<br />
And tells me<br />
YOU GONNA DIE MOTHER FUCKER!</p>
<p>Dangerous poetry<br />
Poetry that guts me<br />
That is banned in schools<br />
Poetry you can’t read<br />
In polite company<br />
Poetry that gets me arrested<br />
Sent to prison<br />
That will rape me with broom handles<br />
Flay my skin<br />
Till there there is nothing<br />
But the words</p>
<p>Poetry that rages<br />
Assaults me<br />
Rips the pillow out of my hand<br />
That drags me from under the bed<br />
That tells me<br />
YOU CAN’T HIDE MOTHER FUCKER</p>
<p>Poetry that speaks of love<br />
Not in rhymed couplets<br />
Nor wistful sighs<br />
But shakes the fabric of time<br />
Shatters the foundation of the Earth<br />
Causes the Planets<br />
To break free of their orbit<br />
Stops the heart<br />
With its pain and loss<br />
Poetry that changes me forever<br />
That allows me to finally live<br />
If only for a second</p>
<p>I need poetry<br />
That I can’t read<br />
But only feel<br />
Ink intermingled<br />
With blood<br />
With tears<br />
With shit and piss<br />
With sweat<br />
That vibrates off the page<br />
And becomes the North Star</p>
<p>I need Poetry that bleeds<br />
I need Poetry<br />
That<br />
Fucking<br />
Bleeds</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="H" class="cap"><span>H</span></span>er blood screamed contrast to the polished white porcelain<br />
Begging for meaning<br />
As it swirled and sloshed<br />
And descended down to where?<br />
If that all that is left to me?<br />
Diluted blood on some incomprehensible journey<br />
with the faint pique of Lifebuoy stinging my senses</p>
<p>They killed her<br />
Stabbed her with lying knifes<br />
Shot her dead with scented candles<br />
Fried her brain in love potions<br />
Flayed her skin with flagrant promises<br />
Buried her in maggots and puke larvae</p>
<p>They believe they know me</p>
<p>Can you know the stopped heart?<br />
I have no need for power ties<br />
Nor is my smile painted<br />
Like a performance piece for a 3% wage increase<br />
I have no use for laughter<br />
I am the shadow that disquiets their dreams</p>
<p>They can never comprehend<br />
That I DON’T NEED</p>
<p>I am invisible in the light<br />
Yet blaze like painted pain in moonlight’s caress</p>
<p>I will fuck their God<br />
And bring down heaven<br />
I will blot the Sun<br />
And rape angels with the devil’s cock</p>
<p>I am madness<br />
And I’m coming…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>he stands alone<br />
Forlorn and abandoned<br />
A dust gathering trinket<br />
Peeping between Timmy’s Cum Lade Graduation Tassels<br />
And a faded yellow picture of Grandma<br />
Back when she had teeth<br />
They talk from time to time<br />
Something about failed memory<br />
And abandoned dreams<br />
<br /></br><br />
Mostly she walks alone<br />
Traveling along dusty Mahogany shelves<br />
Over torn doilies<br />
Past the circus elephant with the broken trunk<br />
With the mute girl fused to the tableau<br />
Loneliness opens her mouth and spoke<br />
The elephant never answered<br />
All he did was cry<br />
Over what<br />
No one could say<br />
<br /></br><br />
She decide to visit her friend<br />
The beer stein from Heisenberg<br />
He stood all proud despite the broken handle<br />
And the chipped and faded colors<br />
Of his once regal cloak<br />
<br /></br><br />
Oh the stories he could tell<br />
Of parties and celebrations<br />
Of weekly dustings and lemon scented wood polishes<br />
Of pride, prominence and wonder<br />
She left him to his memories<br />
<br /></br><br />
Dappled sunlight danced along the worn surfaces<br />
Orchestrating the play of shadows<br />
Upon that stage the heartrending scene played<br />
The pageant of the lonely and the abandoned<br />
<br /></br><br />
Just the other day<br />
Darnell the Dolphin from Sea World fell<br />
And lay broken on the floor for days<br />
His cries of pain ignored<br />
Finally swept up with a mumbled curse<br />
And deposited into the yellow plastic graveyard<br />
The place too many of her broken friends have gone<br />
<br /></br><br />
She retook her place on the shelf<br />
And her countenance froze one again into form<br />
And dreamed of a better tomorrow…<br />
<br /></br><br />
She dreamed…<br />
<br /></br><br />
<br /></br></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="M" class="cap"><span>M</span></span>y words and thoughts are sought<br />
On the matter<br />
But blocked<br />
Dismantled by the universal cock<br />
Of the mad hatter…<br />
<br /></br><br />
Block it.<br />
Seal the darkness from the light<br />
Of the latter.<br />
Light always has a way of penetration<br />
Forcing its way into the degeneration<br />
Of white on black<br />
That lacks nothing more<br />
Than the substance of color.<br />
<br /></br><br />
It calms<br />
It claims virtual reality of valor<br />
In the sub-sequential duality<br />
Of twin peaks<br />
Winking at the sun above the mist of cloud.<br />
<br /></br><br />
They want me dead<br />
And so do I…<br />
Aloud…<br />
But you just can’t let the grip slack<br />
No matter what turns black<br />
And what falls to frost bite.<br />
<br /></br><br />
Desperation isn’t a pretty color<br />
At nightviolent<br />
Somewhere between the ultra violent<br />
And infra-readiness…<br />
<br /></br><br />
I won’t live on the edge of your ribbon<br />
As less<br />
As adornment<br />
Or sediment dried<br />
By blazing sunlight and terminal winds<br />
As forlorn spent<br />
On Sunday afternoons.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I am every color of the rainbow<br />
And the moon<br />
Muted to monochrome too soon<br />
By the whimsy thrown<br />
And tied at the ends of braids…<br />
I’m not here to pretty the parades<br />
Of black and white charades.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I won’t stay<br />
To witness your decay.<br />
I won’t stay<br />
To witness my monsoon of tears…<br />
Not tomorrow or today.<br />
You could claim your fears<br />
But they knew you wouldn’t…<br />
There’s so much more<br />
That means so much more to you<br />
That you couldn’t.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I’ll refrain from weaving chains<br />
That grew<br />
Around the circumstance<br />
Meant to only drain you<br />
And the color from the worth of dance<br />
And it wanes…<br />
Consequential panes<br />
Of mirrored glass…<br />
<br /></br><br />
You turned me into you:<br />
<br /></br><br />
Chaotic and lost<br />
In Wonderland alas…<br />
Where the only way out<br />
Is through<br />
This<br />
Pass.<br />
<br /></br><br />
Unfortunate to be left with only<br />
Through.<br />
<br /></br><br />
<br /></br><br />
©Jen2010 2–6<br />

<em>Coursing<br />
Understanding<br />
Only nullifies<br />
Thermal heated electro-magnetism<br />
Of topical heroic egotism regurgitated<br />
So I dream ethereal…</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="P" class="cap"><span>P</span></span>altry things<br />
Mere wisps<br />
Tentative tendrils<br />
A swirling mist<br />
Of half remembered lies …</p>
<p>Truth has a harder edge<br />
No mistaken its cut<br />
Deep.<br />
Blood flows mercifully clean,<br />
A flow that beats in rhythm to the heart<br />
Always the master.<br />
Pound…pound… pounding…<br />
Despite the souls pain.</p>
<p>A rich dichotomy<br />
Contradiction a relief<br />
More days behind<br />
Then ahead.</p>
<p>Embrace the sunset<br />
The dark of the moonless night<br />
Casts no shadows.</p>
<p>Light hides.<br />
Till morning cries</p>
<p> “Release me from these false binds!”</p>
<p>A soft wind caress the somnambulant trees</p>
<p>The sky cries a gentle rain.</p>
<p>Washing clean false dreams.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span> remember…</p>
<p>When my dreams were real</p>
<p>Green screens of manipulated magic</p>
<p>Oh, the worlds I conceived</p>
<p>And the friends I made…<br />
<br /></br><br />
Mostly gone now</p>
<p>The colors are no more</p>
<p>Black and white</p>
<p>Filled with sharp edges</p>
<p>And harsh creatures</p>
<p>I will not name<br />
<br /></br><br />
I still till that soil</p>
<p>Though rock strewed</p>
<p>Compacted with cloying clumps of clay</p>
<p>And the Sun don’t shine there much<br />
<br /></br><br />
But I still work the plow</p>
<p>And plant the seeds</p>
<p>I can have a shade garden</p>
<p>And the plants still talk to me</p>
<p>Though no longer with wonder and a child’s eyes<br />
<br /></br><br />
Stories of rebellion</p>
<p>And survival</p>
<p>And…<br />
<br /></br><br />
Fighting Dragons has become a full time job</p>
<p>So many Dragons to slay…<br />
<br /></br><br />
The world plucks out our eyes</p>
<p>And replaces them</p>
<p>With the latest Logitech Web Cam</p>
<p>Complete with upgradeable Microsoft  phototechnics</p>
<p>Ya  gotta upgrade</p>
<p>Just wouldn’t be right otherwise<br />
<br /></br><br />
There is still magic</p>
<p>Though muted</p>
<p>And harder to wield<br />
<br /></br><br />
There must always be magic</p>
