It's not about loneliness,
I have partners to boast,
It's not about holy text,
I have no offer of hope.

It's not a state of the world,
It's the people, you know?
Corresponding with Rome,
They are taking us over,
I have no offer of hope.

And it's not about race or homelessness,
It's not about great sorcerers,
You see on screen at a show,
It's about weakness of soul.

It's about what you're willing to do,
To offer them hope.

In the nicest possible way,
I say to you: It's just a cape.
It's part of a play, 
I can't make things magic again...

Injected into blood: theatrics.
Addiction upon the face,
She paces the room,
Tolerance and waiting, 
When does the show begin?
When will the feeling stay?

In the nicest possible way,
I say to you: It's just a cape,
It's part of a play, 
It doesn't make things magic again.

Hell is where bones conjoin.
Fell into boys, resin oil, foil...
Paranoid terror, disappointment.
What was worse, 
Your disease, or my point?

Multiple choice questions on the medical forms,
Your network connections on cellular phones.
Joint ventures, a voice credits feminine for,
But between the temples the evidence shows.

Goodbye are the days,
Yellow presence,
White, like breast or loin,
and yet, still like poinsettia,
Red on the inside.

Compare your sickness to mine,
Hell is where bones conjoin,
There to which the feathers fall,
Quality of life destroyed,
Vaporizer oil, foil, credit card,
Paranoid terror, disappointment.

The spider bites with sting of poison,
Whether on the page or from an arm.

Thinking of exposure, orange,
Are you coming over? Oh... 
From emotion to hypnosis,
Light comes from the phone.

Talking frozen yogurts, awards,
Terrifying rollercoasters, poets.
Light comes from the phone,
Orange how the redness shows,
Awe, gathering rosebuds below.

When I wrote about you it showed, 
Both you and I know it,
What else do I love?

Suppose you had died,
What else would I have?
Hope you might fly home?
Well, I paid for it anyway... 
Light comes from the phone,
Blindness from my brain,
Tiredness of fate.

Like edamame on a plate,
Somehow, I hoped for more,
Even if it was more the same

Rose gold chrome horns,
Like cardboard clothes, 
Cold, associates sorrow, 
Unworn, uneven tomorrow. 
So bow your head forward,
Lift yourself up, divide me whole. 

I stand naked before you, 
Like I play with hands both,
Like I tap, dance, as a show,
I do for all you know, I suppose.

Upon her form, both hands,
Avacado toast, buttery bread,
Guitar solo overtop the prose,
Alcohol in her mouth, floor, 
Softcore porn, popcorn snow, 
Relationships in rondo form.

I just wish I knew something more.

Narrow perceptions,
Narrow affections,
Despite prayers, attention,
Yellow shell for protection.

State your objections,
Friends for protection. 
But in your profession, 
You need a director,
For help, or whatever, 
For the show you live in.

And they have their agenda,
Sex, successors, buzz levels,
Namely, making you famous. 

Yet, if you know contentment,
Can you ask god, 
Inside somewhere, is there yellow?
I feel life swallowed me whole,
Until I crack, cry and bellow,
Like whales beneath the waves.

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...

Growler, empower yourself.
Devour and use that tech,
Devourer, utterer of rrr,
Encounter, stout or sour. 

Prowler, of the prouder,
On all four, growling,
Looking at a round bottle. 

Wildflowers and spring's showers, 
Fountains boundless, 
Used as showers in the distance, 
Down the outer side runs a victimless,
Bounteous red liquid. 

Doubtless I drink it to no funk, 
Growler talk, 
Ploughman and his bottle bud. 

Outside the thousands talk, 
Inside the pit they growl and bark.

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

As the fists hits the pavement, he changes
'Ignorance' he cries as he flails.
He denies what he feels and streams cable,
Internet and escapes what is real.
He is afraid of it, greatness, fame,
So he spends a lifetime playing.

C minors and B major, sustain,
Weeks later he liberates them,
Showing what a monster can be.

Flag,
Grab a torch, same hand,
Have fun with your vote:
Another hand a sword,
It opens a can of corn.

Fake hammer throw,
Judges, like rabbits,
Run back to their holes.
Rather than face the day,
The code and its ghosts.
Instead,
They make jokes, they make shows,
They make notes, that, of course,
Exclude their track record of control.

That dirt road, saddled by war,
Addled by the hammers thrown,
Fools who took no land unknown,
Who speak a language encoded,
Take advantage of the locals.

What is wealth, cash of course?
But it's also a canvass of bone,
Grass in the mouth of a mud horse.

The time has come to pass.
The hours sound the chime.
How do you write such pleasing words
that our time has come to rhyme?

The smiles that show your heart.
The eyes that calm the sea.
How do you find the time to love
all of the things that rhyme with me?

And just like me your bird is free
to spread your wings and learn to fly.
What is the cause that makes you flee
each time that life comes passing by?

We are just a plan that life is making.
The first romance that’s ours to share.
The time has come to rhyme what matters,
within the heart that bleeds despair.

Come to me now and follow my dreams
that uncover the pieces born of the past.
The time has come near to make a new change,
and untether the slave you have held in your grasp.

With each moment I write I am thinking of you.
And every word that I rhyme you are near.
It is my hope to rekindle a time we once knew,
before the heart of true love disappears.

Bring me your all
Paint me a picture of your dreams
Nourish me with a meal made to awaken my tongue from a tasteless slumber
Play me a song so pure and accurate
Sway with me in your arms
Your touch synchronizes my heart with the rhythm of nature

Bring me your all
Read me stories that once showed you the way
Light my path and enlighten my mind
Rearrange my understanding of importance 
Scold my naivete
The power of your emotions ignite my sense of wonder

Bring me your all
Show me your pain with the intensity of your voice
Present me with conflict 
Show me your anger, Show me your disappointment 
Give me your broken heart
Strike me with fists of passion. Angry passion. 
I will not cower behind my masculinity. 
I welcome your release.
Your pain will become ours and together we will Stand. 

Bring me your all
Show me your scars where you learned to bleed.
Rather, where you learned your resilience.
Rise up and fight for whats right
Teach me my voice makes a sound.
BRING ME YOUR ALL

They met like the first time rainbow met sun shower, wave met sandy seashore, and heart met Cupid’s arrow. They laughed like the first time green eyes gazed brown, sunup chased sundown, and chuckles met deep frown. They learned about foreign subjects on local soil, shared time in familiar toil, and explored how their lives could coil. They wondered how we two could meet and find their feet and live to eat and rinse repeat and begin again and keep the peace for family sake.

She touched my heart with smile on face depositing hope of our loves deep embrace. Unlocking a gate of emotions oppressed from that bygone time cloaked in cynicism and hate. She used her power applied her grace revealing a world where nothing waits and the weak grow strong those loved and displaced. Then together we pledged to always be true to all that matters to me and to you and to guard this ethereal space.

Obsessions 

What power you hold over me...
Every action, every thought 
Is just a push in your direction 
Feeding into the obsessions, 
Lost connections, misdirections, 
Absolutely positively coerced into these affections 
By a brain constantly seeking tiny moments of perfection. 

Though you kind of must admire this curation of adoration, 
All the mental efforts required to keep up the constant cultivation 
Of this undisturbed fixation, 
The impropriety and distraction 
of a single-minded meditation, 
All these mind-numbing, pacing, 
clock-like rotations 
Theoretically leading this obsessive mind to pure elation, 
The uninhibited fruits 
of this persistent dedication. 
Happy sighs and exhalations...

But then...
The sobering realization 
That somehow life existed 
before this shrine’s erection
And perhaps the cracks start to show, 
Unexpected but apparent imperfections, 
Initially denied and resolutely rejected, 
The shattered shards of a crystal ball that disagrees with my projections, 
The deflation, depletion, extortion
Of my vexation, 
Maybe leading to complete and utter exoneration... 
The disintegration of my fascination. 
Maybe someday...

But for now I prefer to float in my comforting contemplations, 
Giving in to the infatuation, 
These happy delusions 
of my mind’s incarceration. 
And if the worst this should cause is 
These false exhilarations, 
Then I shall stay here for a while 
And enjoy the scintillating sensations 
Of my obsessive ruminations. 

A
Temporary
Salvation.

Debbie downer of many outcomes,
Money protected against downturns,
Fathered from powerful maelstroms,
Freshly showered out of sleep,
What is deep? What is to and from,
Blue sea, who flowers their queen,
Without a penny, empty bellied, 
'You let them down, son'
Sour cherries, as he devours many
Let them down yourself, please,
Out of envy, twenty thousand leagues.

To hurt him, like ordinance, 
Without pair, like oranges,
I know the judge, stole from her,
And I showed the world,
Like porcelain, life and purpose.
Too curt of whim, by your judgement,
Like my origins, like ordinance,
I simply shoot from the hip.

8 years old
playing with dolls
marriage between thots
never touched the boys

then at school
cool swimming pools
putting on your clothes
causes me to drool

in 7th grade
joined the parade
thats the time i came
out of the shade

i regret
not sleeping at
that one night i said
what we cant forget

you pretend not knowing my face
you never call me by my name
i just need to know
what’s under the snow
what’s the name of the show
that you play

i wish i were straight
or you were be gay
if only you would lay
down with me babe
look me in the eyes
like i look in yours
kiss me on my mouth
and i would be yours
