Sometimes, I feel alone, 
Like water over stones,
Though as the river runs,
Eventually, I'll find more.

Like the ocean borders,
Welcome with open doors,
Like you and I, of course,
No need for Trojan horses.

Then, no need for anything more.

Different roads, difficult war,
Torn apart by digital swords.
Drinking alone, 
Along to William Burroughs,
Distance from home, 
Infinite, growing.

Look to the sky:
So cool, white.
Like the moon at night, 
You, in suit and tie, 
People, when they die.

Being alive will prove me right...

Look to the interstice:
So cool, divine,
Like the moon in the sky.
You, think of yourself highly,
I fear I'll be alone at night.

Where does that leave you and I?
Basically we are two vampires...

Look, I may not know what's right:
You say you've died,
Like the sun at night,
or women when they cry.

For advice, I apologize, 
This time you'll be standing by,
The light, I feel, will take your life.

What matters most,
When paddling boats?
Loneliness,
A partner to boast.

What matters most, 
When seeing a coast?
Hopelessness,
Nowhere to go home.

Eternity, being alone,
Mercury, being exposed,
Attorney, being ignored,
Even in war, theatrics unfold, 
Even when seeking reform.

Commit a crime and tell me,
Uphill climb, and emptiness,
Pills alter the mind,
The novels I write aren't helping.

I no longer deny blessings,
All I had in life is French seams,
Red meat and prayer beads.

The movie is for the sex scene,
Simple child, on empty,
Pills alter the mind,
Barrels this time, sweat beads.

Why can't I, be like a chess piece,
Alone, untouched by deadbeats?
Webbing is where the spider eats,
Domestic things involve police,
Collective lives can then convene.

A minor piece, A minor key,
Minor to the ones who sing,
A major deal on my journey,
Despite wind, spiders scheme,
What is not real is the bodies.

Green, along patio frames, 
Garnet sees it as home,
Blue sees it as being alone, 
Raspberries, being absorbed. 

Pierre to Marie,
Canoes, or ferry? 
Whatever floats. 

But blue upon blue? 
I had higher hopes,
Like you were alchemy in war.

Like Sepia, 
Despite what I see, 
Also some yellow.
Color the frame retro,
Like scene girls, afterward,
I think, where do I go?

Despite what I feel,
Altos bellow.

Also her form,
Lace, and leaves,
Never ending war.
Storybooks,
Where are you for?
Made bedrooms?

Despite what I see,
Euphoria. 
Despite the blue and orange,
I see yellow.

Like the whole world is sepia,
And made in her form.

Despite what I feel,
About capitalization, ownership,
I see shadows at home,
Because I see by myself, alone,
Despite what I feel.

Forewarnings, foreboding, more, of the same,
More...
For: wants, colors, change, can mean more,
Foreign from yesterday, and for tomorrow.
For you, though, it meant ropes, choking,
No more prose, or poems about fucking,
Though, for you I wrote a few of those.

To cast a shadow like Gord's gamboge:
Wars at home, wars at the coast,
Wars over gold, wars over posts,
What is war, when you fight it alone?
Yellow mustard that stains your soul.

In Her Dreams

Everyday she grew more cynical,
Forewarned in the way he spoke.
'What makes trees grow?
Speaking indignantly?
Lazy, form english is what bees know.
Maybe there is more, maybe not.
Leaves, and lace upon her form,
Leers and mistakes on a forum,
Leaves and paces about a home.
Lady Clare, is this what you wish for?

Mais oui, upon meeting, she says,
but may we not once she sees him again.
She begs, making peace, but, maybe not.
What is under the stars, outside of the bar,
Yet above us all? In her mind, her.
But, actually, God. 
And he sees her like I see her:
Alone by herself, just of her mom.

Lo, girl, grate your feet, arms to nothing,
Cognizant, you can see what's coming.
So, use a word to cut deeper, I mean, 
Maybe there is more, maybe not...
Say please, and release the lions...
If a cognate speaks of alm, as always,
Bet a fool falls, autumn again, as always,
Winter follows.

Bees, on their belly, in a playful sense.
Wallows about woods and streams.
Striped appearance, demeanor, feelings,
He exits the scene with grace and dignity.
Asking the same, but bees scream, race,
As always, it's just the way things be.

Swallow a mouth full of eggs, and honey,
Forward, fundamentally things are different.
Not just you and me, for everyone that sees us.
The courts just take up space, mostly useless,
And friends never show up to court you, bee,
They treat you differently.

You are less than me, because you are less than nothing,
She says, and places her hands to the sun.
Youth burning away at her bloodied stumps,
Speaking in fear of a beast that runs, jumps,
Eating the bunnies she dreams about...

Was it like this all along? A bird wonders...
Like gawkers, ponders what they saw...

'Would you describe me, inside of a bar?'
'Must again, you make things be so hard?'
'Wasp, like I bumble about the pollen,
Following a humble belief seems wanton,
When you believe in things so violent and wrong.'

Bird, quickly describes in simple songs,
Big cities, things it saw in the puddle, 
Colors of war,  bees that talk.
Freedom, it sings, is also simple, 
One really needs not drift apart.
The big screen, another big scene,
It was mostly a facade...
Balk, talk is talk, feeling in the dark,
But most of what a bird said, lived on,
Proper relief is upon the soul after all...

So they write less of evil on the walls,
In the sky, on maps or village carts.
Against nothing, see the days beyond...
I suppose those concepts are behind us.

Was it like this all along? A bird wonders...
Is the city like a swallow, or like to swallow,
and will he be the next one gone?

Cause for alarm, make calls upon,
Anything, but you lost the one. You love...

Like a dog watching another sun set,
More talk, another sun will rise again,
Life for this bird is but more dogs.
So like a coward, survives the storm, 
Shivering as they make their calls.
Inevitably, to face the power lines alone.

Birth mother, 
Are you done in search of justice?
From hunger the feeling lingers on,
I want to be created equal, in three parts:
My heart, my dreams, my thoughts.
To stomach decisions these fingers long:
How much must one muster?
The war is over, the performance over,
The opponent is dead and gone.

He hears the fear in his voice,
Drinks beer, balks, talk circles,
Inside he looks awkwardly,
Leers like a child at adults.
'Blood eater, what of your cuts?
Is your search for freedom done?
What is your word for love?
Of people, of reason,
Like earth, sun,
One deserves better treatment, 
But worries when wonders gone.'

Colonel, a third of your country, wrong.
Fanciful fawns, thoughts prancing,
Warnings: Songs bandied to a swan.
Wanting nothing, wanton, famished,
Like night always says to the dawn:
Our prospects have long vanished.
It's more self talk, silence in response,
Dancing alone, along to the bombs that drop.

Shapeshifter, sex symbol, Lord,
Like you imagine your next form,
Aging wrinkles, Alone,
Civil from war.
Great mirror,
What's a beach without a shore?
Those who change an elaborate hoax.
They imagine thinking, then approach,
Like ideas read from novels and books.

Plane ticket, images, visions, more, 
Imagining yourself at home,
Opium, an anonymous quote, 
You take the drugs you owe for, 
In your veins, up the nose.
Fictional, your world becomes,
Because fiction is all you know.

Shapeshifter, pegs in your holes,
You imagine delightful chorus,
Even though you are alone.
Violent, calloused and lonesome.
Without war to be calloused from.
Great Mirror, Piper, Peter, 
Could you play me a tune
Or at least leave me alone?
I favour the fear I know fighting.
Not the thunder and lightning,
You bring when you're home.

The wind whispers to my skin,
It's like it speaks with every breath.
As if it has been calling out for my presence,
Waiting to see the face behind this mask.
So far it has shown nothing but disdain,
And I wonder if I have anything left to give.

In darkness I wander,
With nothing but my memories
Falling, falling, falling.
Where once I saw light now lies only gloom,
And I know that it has gone.
For those who wish for rest, I have none
Though I'd give up what I have, for one more.
But it's too much now, I can't move my hands,
I just want to sleep...
(My memory, it fades)
In the dark, with nothing to grasp,
The memories that I hold so dear
Fall away from me like they were never there.
And I feel as though I will fall into madness,
Like the very world is crumbling beneath my feet,
That everything is crashing down,
I fear I cannot stand the weight.
(I'm fading)
I just want to sleep...
(My memory, it fades)
***
I'm afraid I've gone and made a fool out of myself again,
I knew you wouldn't understand my reason,
And now you're not talking to me at all,
You see I didn't mean to let your memory fade,
It's like I was being pulled away by another force,
Something I didn't mean, something I can't control,
I don't even know why I'm still here...
I don't know why I'm still here.
I should leave this place, I know it's wrong,
I shouldn't be here in your mind,
I can't help the way that I am,
I don't know why I'm Super Mundane,
I can't stop feeling so low,
I'm afraid it's already too late.

I didn't mean to let you slip away,
But the thought of losing you just doesn't sit right,
To keep you awake and alive,
I need you here, I'm not alone,
Without you here with me I can't go on,
I don't know why I'm Super Mundane,
I don't know why I'm still here.
I didn't mean to let you slip away,
I just can't shake this feeling,
That something inside of me is broken,
I don't know why I'm Super Mundane,
I don't know why I'm still here.

This poem is an Articial Intelligence re-interpretation of "Super Mundane" by TheSoftSophist

Alone, he works, 
A loan, he works,
Alone he works his loan off,
Alone of course.
And alone in the dark he hopes,
For a road that leads north.
A lot like a microphone,
like a diving horse of war,
Spoken to, of, admired so,
By eye, tongue or sword

We are stories
  Ideas
  Tales of us were told
  Long before we were

We are stories
  Ghosts wandering 'n minds
  Tales of us passed on
  Long after we were

We are alone
  Together
  In sadness, in joy: we become human

We don't exist
  We're nothingness
  Unless we share
  Unless we're two or more

‘O Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo’,
The birds sing along to Juliets cries,
Is it so wrong to want a Tudor love,
Lived through 21st century eyes.

To kill yourself to be with them,
Rather than have to live alone,
It truly makes you understand,
The idea that a person can be a home.

And though some may call this type of love shallow,
I say they’re lies from a person who does not relate,
The need of a love so sweet and tragic,
United by fate.

“Don’t let me down”, now that’s a foolish way of thinking 
Response of confirmation, actions not in agreement 
Not very much Redeeming 
Like Pandora’s box you’re seeming

Like bullets to the chest, I’m barely breathing
Confused and in distress, was I deceived? and
Was I deceiving?

Were you mistaken by my distance and a lack of trust was formed

Or was my token of your trust misplaced in your corrupted life form?

Are you a demon?

But you weren’t demeaning.

You boost me up, 
Above the ceiling was my love

Like, not love, allow me to clarify
Was different, real connection
But anything more than that I inform you, I deny

And now I cry

Mine, your were not but all of you was with me
Or maybe me with you, that’s where I get confused
Mistaken thinking

Time, as more comes, you will fade
At least that what my research say
But I swear to god, my image of you gets imprinted on me more and more as I survive the day

Leave me alone
I don’t want you here to stay

Memories in my bone 
Fractured when I lay 

Fractured when I wake

Fractured me in my waist

Oh what a waste

A waste of my fight when all I care to take is flight
All I care is me and you changed that habit
Is that what lies are like?
Is the purpose damage?

If so you succeed because I’m more than done
I’ve lost my sun
Although it’s reflection on the moon is a pretty replica
You set me up
Trojan horse 
You lift me up
And when things got good you sat me down
Let me frown
Although I hide, that feelings sound
That feelings loud
Those thoughts clear 
These eyes hold tears
Those drops aren’t mild
Neither were my fears

So clear Ill steer for now
Others won’t be allowed
My voice won’t speak aloud
Not truth nor words of deep
Only traps for the weak, ones I couldn’t put out
They were from your slope
Your dope became my cloud
I guess it’s, both, hello and goodbye for now.

If only I knew before, how much you’d let me down.

Canon roar, castles go,
Grab ahold, gravel road, 
A rabbit grows, 
As does his habits,
A hobbit grows,
Shrinking his jacket.
Life a la mode, 
What matters most,
When paddling boats?
Loneliness,
A partner to boast, 
Havoc that leaves you alone.
