A Masterful Robbery

Even though I knew it was finished before it began,
even though I knew that I never truly had you,
even though you told me I had a chance,
it was only almost, but not quite.

Even though you told me you loved me,
you turned right back around and held someone else dear.
Even though I thought I was content,
I wanted all of you.
Even though you brought me to tears,
I thought it was worth it.

Catullus 2

O sparrow, delightful pet of my girl,
with whom she is accustomed to play, who she is accustomed to hold in her lap,
To whom, when reaching for it, she is accustomed to give the top of her finger,
And to provoke sharp bites,

Knight

They are brutish beings

Who rely on

Elegancy and grace,

And nothing else.

Thoughts of a New Vision 67

"Minds infected with thoughts of silicone and coat-hangers
Priests and preacher are f**king more than gangbangers
Park Rangers are shut our with smoke of sins
Forgotten beauty covered up by lies and conspiracy
Plastic coating souls to hide all the hypocrisy"

A Grand User Submission

My life is now my delusion,
A world made of fantasies.
Happiness is no longer the illusion,

My life is my new disease.

Apollo

I’m sorry for all the times
When I haven’t made you happy.
I’ve tried, my love…
But oh so wrong,
Because you hate it when I’m sappy.

Gods and Creatures

Sometimes insecurity and doubt course through my veins like a paralysis leaving me unable to move like a vacuum they consume my insides until I am nothing but an abandoned whole truth or a beautiful shadow of Icarus who flew too close to the sun and melted his wings.Read more »

Starlet

The starlet sits
At the edge of her bed
Thinking back to simpler
And much less wealthy,
Corrupt times.Read more »

Catullus 4

That yacht, which you see, my guests
says that it was the fastest of ships
and that it was not not able to surpass the challenge of any floating ship (timber)
whether with small oars or with a sail
there would be a need to fly
and it (my yacht) denies that the shore

Sweet and Short Poem

slice off my hands for not holding yours sooner,
burn my tongue until my taste buds flake off, for never admitting how i felt.
cut off my ears because i did not listen to my heart when i first desired you,
and scorch my eyes so i never look at anyone the same.

this is darkness, but this is love

you have me reeling through the middle of the night
emotions rocking and clock tocking in the wee hours
of the darkness and stillness of this velvety blackness
the constellations laugh down at me while i laugh up

Sappho Poetry (Lobel-Page 1 / Voigt 1 / Diehl 1 / Bergk 1 / Cox 1)

Glittering-throned, undying Aphrodite,
Wile-weaving daughter of high Zeus, I pray thee,
Tame not my soul with heavy woe, dread mistress,
      Nay, nor with anguish !

Straight, rigid lines,

Cutting deep borders,

Slicing and distributing

Neat little pieces of land.

Taking Back the Night

We soldiered on,in cropped tops and torn jeans,
wielding soggy cigarettes
and shooting thin wisps of smoke in the dark.
Exposed are the small of our backs,
the length of our arms,
the sides of our breasts
to the passionate lover that is the night.
The rain is kissing and biting,fast and hard
while the cold leave sweet painful lashes
on our bare pale skin.
They do not bother us anymore,
we are used to the endless list of lovers
who has made their mark on our skin
but are gone before they could even fade.
There is nothing to do except bow our heads
and shake them off hoping that our mascara won’t smear.

Untitled 93

I give a f**k about your decision
Indecision narrowing my vision
Fusion tearing apart my mission
Soul lost and never knew the reason
Treason comes with sadness,
changes sooner that seasons
Meanings are forgotten and beaten 'till we aren't breathing
Leaning on the stronger one but he's depending on the weaker
Had a beaker full of hopes, now it's so much bleaker
Feeling sicker than a killer and Jack the Ripper
Narrow minded 'cause my whole life I've been sleeping deeper
Weeping from a life that has no meaning
Fiending for a breath of cancer and the skill to come out winning.

Fictional Realities

Submerged in books and words
I have become obscure.
When the tides of my ocean subside
I will absorb all life if ever I can reach the shore.

The coarse realities of life leave me lovelorn.
My ardent fervour is slowly becoming muted
as I struggle to keep my head above water.
It is the gaping sky, the splendour of merging colours
that keeps me upright.

I am impotent to the yawning ocean,
frustrated by my languishing infatuations
that increase, heave and swell
until I can hold it no longer and all comes gushing out
leaving me empty and forsaken, cold in a desolate place
with only my eccentricity for company.
