“As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot." Kaitlan Gaulding
I wish you could do Just one thing right; I don’t want much I know you aren't too bright. If it wasn't attached, you’d lose your head Good thing you have me, Always there to set you straight. But good thing I have you too, Because even though you drive me crazy, Without you, I wouldn't know what to do.
Becoming Exene Karros
And this is how you shall begin: a gull-throated engendered gem cast in a symmetry to form a myriad of fragile connecting bones. You are rather a flawed creation, prepared only with the promise of endless rain and romantic mystique. half-mast you soar not unlike the ebonybrushed raven, as eternal hands floating above your mass. Preparing for flight, you are bound by mobile circles of serpentine thought and bitter fruit, which beckon to a reality. You are silent observers, sea-encrusted and antediluvian as your earth. still the unnumbered days fall in interchangeable layers and you are nine months and waiting…
My Guardian Angel
Jonathan Kelly
I look in the sky Hoping to catch a glimpse of you in my eye It broke my heart to see you lay sick You’re truly a man made of magic God sent his angels from above To rescue the one man filled with pure love I know you’re in a better place And I can’t for the day I get to see your beautiful face You’ll always be my hero, my inspiration When I see you again papa, it’ll be the greatest sensation.
The Glass Window Grace Kaiser
The smokey glass, Looking at memories, Of the past, As time stands still. The window of pain, That drives the strong, Insane, In every room of this house. Flashbacks with tears, Bring back life's, Worst fears, Around every corner. Time moving in reverse, As the haunting demons, Converse, In the shadows
The Sense of Art Chelsey Jordan
Listen! The words are sharp daggers to the brain, Stout punches to the abdomen, Low blows to the waist Don’t be alarmed! The words set you in a trans of a translucent world Recline. Relax. Relate. Listen! As the words bring out the salsa in your hips, The tango in the tips of your toes. You stretch so tall trying to encompass the language being thrown at you But as your arms reach the figurative sky, the melody claims the heavens. Try no more to understand its capacity and just…listen. Let it be you Let it drug you, hallucinate you, kidnap you But don’t be alarmed!Recline. Relax. Relate. Tear down the walls of logic and allow figments to run rapid No harm can be done so don’t fear uncertainty Break away from thoughts and leech onto imagination Present yourself naked and bare Showing your insecurities, your flaws, your inadequacies. Recline. Relax. Relate. And when this is done; Listen, listen, and listen some more To what your words tell you Express them in your vulnerability leaving nothing in the crevices Change the tables and I too will listen, Recline, Relax, and Relate.
These Men Are Like Animals James Birr These men are like animals; They scour the land They rip apart bone and flesh With just a simple “and?” These men are like animals; Moving in hordes Cordially they invite you To tear you by the chords These men are like animals; They keep to themselves They drink spring water on Sundays Later to destroy the mission bells These men are like animals; They hid but secretly curse With a simple gesture of the hand They rip apart only the first These men are like animals; Killing the weak Holding out bait to trap To see who actually seeks These men are like animals; Wary of the future When reality comes to hunt They misunderstand the lure These men are like animals; Without shame, they walk away With confidence and hate in their eyes Leaving you alone to stay These men are like animals; Hunting in packs Devising plans for search To slaughter you pack rats This animal is like man; Though it is sent to the slaughter for meat It lives through the boil baths To come the next morning, to meet and greet
