Written : 10/15/95.12:11am
some people think i am crazy
but noones whos to blame
all i know are the scars shes left
i cant quite recall her name
they locked me up behind some bars
the evil deed ive done
but now im taken from this earth
forever i am shunned
i feel betrayed
betrayed be my society
betrayed
they dont feel the anxiety
betrayed
the things i left behind of me
betrayed
i need a frontal lobotomy
betrayed
noone cares what has she done?
the jury just blamed me
sentenced her unto this chair
without a sight to see
the agony that she has caused
ill never quite be free
so i brought her down
i senteced her
the killer here is me

leaves have fallen
the sky it seems
winters here
the shadowy stream
he never wanted to leave
the endless gleem
friends he left behind
at the shadowy stream
yes, its time to leave
but the stream still flows
but he'll be back
and that river knows
where will he be
where will he be free?
still by his river
still by his sea
time wonders where hes going
nothing can quite tell
he'll go where he feels to go
walking in the winter rain
where the leaves have fallen
and fields grow
but his fates at the stream
at the shadowy flowing stream
only can be happy
dancing at his stream

Tonight she is alone
 just like she knew she would be.
One more day has passed
 and she still has never loved.
Tonight she watches the stars,
 wishing she could leave this place.
She curses herself for her fate.
She curses herself for being different.
Never knowing the feeling of being loved
     dreaming of the feeling of being held
             being kissed
     wondering if she will ever love.
Tonight she walked home along the streets
 wanting to hide herself from their eyes
 ignoring the sight of lovers passing by.
She walked alone with her head to the ground
 feeling their unfeeling eyes on her.
The streets of the city are cold and dark
 filled with unfeeling eyes.
Tonight she escapes and stares at the sky
 watching the stars until they are blurred by her tears.
Tonight she cries herself to sleep
 while the unfeeling eyes vacate the streets.

 Blood, to me, is a horrible sight,
 What in the pits of Hell should I do,
 For I am a Creature of the Night.
 When I see fresh blood, it makes me ill,
 I get weak, I get quesy, and then I faint,
 I can do nothing...I don't have the will.
 I'm so hungry because I can't feed,
 I'm starting to lose my control,
 That sickening red fluid is what I need.
 Suddenly, a brilliant thought hits me,
 What if I were to close my eyes!
 Then the deep-red fluid, I wouldn't see!
 I look for a victim and grab one,
 And I quickly take him away,
 I do not have time to have any fun.
 I need to get some blood with haste,
 So I close my eyes, bite the neck,
 And relish the coppery taste.

     A diamond is so beautiful ... yet it's cut can be deep
the gem shines like the heavens ... yet its a chunk of ice I see
         It can mean a promise ... but worse things can be found in hell
          it can mean eternity ... so long as your soul is for sale
Oh beautifully cut gem that I see...
 You cost so much, yet mean little to me...
Oh grand rock that seems akin to ice...

The wolves,
The wolves are howling;
Howling at the door.
See them?
Pawing, growling, prowling
At the door.
Coming forth,
Coming nearer;
Always hungry,
Always seeking
What they want.
The wolves,
The wolves are howling;
Howling at the door.
See them?
Pawing, growling, prowling
At the door.
Coming forth,
Coming nearer;
Devouring what comes near.
Never satisified,
The taste of flesh
Is in the air.
The wolves,
The wolves are howling;
Howling at the door
Sounding like the wind.
Happy Halloween Everyone from me.

Dreams are your wishes,
they tell your hearts true desires.
I dream of loving you,
till the day die.
But I will love you,
much longer than that.
I will love you forever,
longer than you will ever know.
My love for you is true.
I dream of you loving me too.
Now my dream is becoming reality,
I face reality,
as it looks me in the eye.
I look back,
I won't turn away from it.
For you see,
my dream has come true.
I am happier than i have ever been,
for you bring me a joy,
I have never experienced before.
Is this a dream.
I don't think so,
but if it is I hope I never wake up.
Now I dream some more

      Clouds in the sky
      cause clouds in
      my mind.
      Clouds without rain
      should not cause pain
      but for some strange
      reason, I feel as if
      I've been hit
      by a train.
      When the snow melts
      and the solitude's
      gone, i simply hope
      my legacy lives on.
      Legacy of what? one
      might ask, but for
      this, I have no
      answer.
      The thoughts of you
      chew at my mind
      like cancer.
            At Peace
I listen to the sounds
I can't fall asleep,
he lies there whether
he is asleep or not
I know not,
Neither do I care,
he lies there so peaceful,
yet I know he's not at peace.
So comphy, cozy there
but with that same
emotionless, blank look on his face
his feelings follow him into
his sleep.
Never really at peace is he
No he's not, but someday
he will, but no time soon.

            Friends
friends should remain as friends
some things were never ment to be
friendships are special
and sometimes feelings change
and it hurts the relationship
so if you are a friend stay...
STAY a friend.
friendship can last forever
love doesn't always, yet
love is always there
but it is constantly changing
the only way to spend time with someone
is to be their friend
their best friend
cause best friends are forever.

            Control
take worry a little at a time
but not too much at a time
it will control you
this control will be hard...
hard to break free from
don't loose control of the situation
or you will loose control of...
of your mind.
don't allow it to take over.
worring is only good in small amounts
limit what you worry about.
something just arent worth it.
not worth loosing the control...
control of your emotions.
once you loose that
you have lost control of the most...
most important part of yourself...
your life.

            What I Love
I love you, who you are,
your personality,
the funny things you do,
the way you make me feel,
the way you treat me,
your respect for me,
the time we spend together,
the hours we talk,
the mystery that you are to me.
The way you think,
the child in you,
the anger in you,
the way you write,
how you try notto express,
too much emotion, but I can see it.
the crazy riddles you use.
the way you make me think,
about the damndest things.
I love what you are:
   your face,
   your smile,
   your voicesess, yes voicesess.
   your small hands,
   your fragil looking body,
   your facial expressions,
   your weird looks, you give me
   and most of all your eyes, yes
   Tony I love your eyes the most.

            Those Eyes
Those eyes are constantly changing,
always the same
but yet very different.
Full of feeling & hidden meaning,
they seem hard to explain.
To read those eyes, it's easy
Don't look deep into them,
'cause you will get lossed,
the answer lies on the surface.
See the reflection,
look into it & you will know...
Know the answer to your questions,
that you have been asking,
about those Eyes.

            The Touch
As I lie there,
feeling your soft skin,
as you lie there next to me.
I feel your hands
as they caress my breasts.
So soft & smooth,
is your gentle touch sweet thoghts run through my head,
Then you kiss my lips,
I taste the saltiness on them.
Thoughts of exstacy runt hrough my mind.
You begin to kiss my neck and then...
then my chest.
As you please me,
I wonder how I might please you.
Then as you touch my thighs,
I then know that...
the most important feeling are:
When your body is next to mine
and mine next to yours.

What do you feel when your're laying in the dark,
   And thoughts of the one you love crosses your mind,
But, they're not near?
   Do you call to them?
What do you feel when you're laying in the dark,
   And you long to hold the one you love,
But, they're not near?
   So you reach for them?
What do you feel when you're laying in the dark,
   And all around you hear the voice of the one you love
But, they're not near?
   So you search for them?
Do you turn at the sound of their name?
   Do you ache when you hear certain songs?
Do sights and sounds remind you of them?
   Do certain smells excite you,
Because they remind you of your Love?
Do you see your Love near?
   Do you hear their heartbeat?
Do you feel their touch?
   Do you smell their cologne?
Do you taste their kisses?
I just wanted to know
   Because:
I do call out to my Love.
   I do reach and search for my Love.
When I hear their name, my head does turn.
   I ache so bad at certain songs, that I cry.
Every sight and sound reminds me of my Love
   And certain smells drive me crazy.
I see my Love where I ever I look,
   I hear his heartbeat as if he's here.
I feel his touch, IÂ get goosebumps.
   I smell his colonge everywhere.
I taste his kisses, oh so warm.
My Love is you.

Well ... here's my first blow ...
 Â
 Â
         *Aqualung*
 Â
  Sitting on a park bench --
 Â
  Eyeing little girls with bad intent.
 Â
  Snot running down his nose --
 Â
  Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
 Â
  Drying in the cold sun --
 Â
  Watching as the frilly panties run.
 Â
  Feeling like a dead duck --
 Â
  Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
    _________________________________________________________________
    Â
 Â
  Sun streaking cold --
 Â
  An old man wandering lonely.
 Â
  Taking time
 Â
  The only way he knows.
 Â
  Leg hurting bad,
 Â
  As he bends to pick a dog-end --
 Â
  He goes down to the bog
 Â
  And warms his feet.
    _________________________________________________________________
    Â
 Â
  Feeling alone --
 Â
  The army's up the rode
 Â
  Salvation a la mode and
 Â
  A cup of tea.
    _________________________________________________________________
 Â
    Â
  Aqualung my friend --
 Â
  Don't start away uneasy
 Â
  You poor old sot, you see, it's only me.
    _________________________________________________________________
    Â
 Â
  Do you still remember
 Â
  December's foggy freeze --
 Â
  When the ice that
 Â
  clings on to your beard is
 Â
  screaming agony.
 Â
  And you snatch your rattling last breaths
 Â
  with deep-sea-diver sounds,
 Â
  and the flowers bloom like
 Â
  madness in the spring.

Ode to Smell
I was in the park,
Having some lunch.
I saw Ms. Clark,
I had a hunch.
I went to her side,
And blew in her ear.
She said with pride,
"Come with me my dear."
I didn't hesitate at all,
Or even second guess.
I made the call,
Had my hand down her dress.
She muttered,"Oh my!"
In a startling moan.
Blue was the sky,
Wanted to make her groan.
We got to her pad,
It was very nice.
She said,"Come lad..."
"Don't forget the ice."
We went to her room,
The bed large as life.
She slammed the door, BOOM!
She had a big knife.
"I'm into the pain,"
"That sex can bring."
"Bring me that cane,"
"I'll teach you some things."
She had her hair dyed,
I could tell really quick.
She spread her legs wide,
I felt really sick.
The smell was so bad,
Plants withered and died.
I felt really sad,
I just about cried.
I heard an odd sound,
It came from the hall.
A voice spoke, and shook the ground,
I then realized that she wasn't a Ms. at all.
I threw on my clothes,
Just as fast as can be.
Hurt was my nose,
From the smell of she.
I ran to the window,
Jumped out and ran.
It kinda blows,
That she had a man.
She had smelled of fish,
This was bad as can be.
She had a smelly dish,
And can no longer swim in the sea.

   Thanks to all who loved my poetry. I appreciated it. By the way,
I'm really sorry I missed most of the party. It was unfortunate really. I
was under that drug known as sleep deprivation. It's very bad. No sleep
that is. Anyways....As my first entry in the new forum, I'll write a
poem..............
         PartyPartyParty
   It was 8:00 and all was fine.
   We had the beer, we had the wine.
   I scurried here, I hurried there.
   I don't think I was wearing underwear.
   I saw the usual bunch, just hanging out.
   I needed sleep, I couldn't do without.
   My brother was trashed, so was I.
   I needed a bed, I wanted to cry.
   I saw Mrs. Clark from poem number two.
   She didn't smell so bad, she smelled of shampoo.
   I needed more beer, but couldn't quite make it.
   I pretended to throw up, I tried to fake it.
   It got people sick, and queasy as hell.
   All of a sudden I heard the doorbell.
   It was more people, wanting to party.
   I saw lots of people, like Gibil and Marty.
   I'm sorry I missed all you wonderful friends.
   I had to go to work by seven a.m.

Here are a few poems that I wrote while I was "vacationing" in Somalia.
Don't like 'em? Don't care... *hehehe* Just wanted to share them.
Nowhere is a place.
I know, I've been there.
I have tasted the dust as it rose to choke me.
I have heard the desperate cries of children as I passed by.
I have smelled the fires that burn I know not what.
I have seen the bones and rotting corpses of unknown beasts.
I have felt the fear that rises up when I think of what the future holds.
Nowhere is a place...
I know, I've been there.
===========================================================================
This one is about the military in general...
A prison without walls,
With wardens of gold and silver.
Good men weighed down by anchors
Of false pride.
Always ready to kill as
A release of agression.
Why?
===========================================================================
There. I said it. Criticism will be read and possibly considered... hehehe
Thank you for my first experience on this forum... I feel so damn special.
...or whatever...

I shouldn't, but I will. It's old.
Â
Enter this oracle did I,
 stained of shadow to come, alive before,
 In rancid degree of waist walked I,
 Of charted flesh and bartered souls,
 The tempted devoured of scrupolous dowries,
 Through the stench of sin-worn floors,
 Tast of lust, moral death, tast of orgasm,
 Did I drink of the most
In hiding of the dawn, her hostile touch,
 Let darkness hug and tongue the sinners more,
 For her sex invites the erection stronger,
 Urging the core of beast to thirst,
 Waking the foul which thrust ever forth,
I step past halls of bodies lain,
 Still wearing their passion over torn tendrils of winter,
 Her oriface hollow, his demon ruptured,
 Together they writhe deeper towards pleasure
 Frenzied desire thrashes the temples,
 Laying pain to sour the aching gentitals,
 The crash, thrash, and cut at one another,
 Lust too crazed to mourn their tortures,
 The produce, not sperm, but orchids of blood,
On further the labrynth of haunts echoes,
 This shouting of dreams fallen yet speckled,
 After I follow the promised heavens,
 My own lover warm anticipating the hells,
Strangled by a patch of softening earth,
 I am swallowed, clutched down or up, purloined from the morrow,
 Tentacled of warped gentiled latched
 Sweeping through grime and sewage brewed tart,
 I released my struggles to ease their efforts,
 Til' delivered unto the pit,
 Where lost souls feed the heart,
Fire stewed my accompnaying feast,
 Their voices rose chorus, melodic but asudner,
 I spirirted a rhyme written by all,
 A shout of learning: flesh does crawl,
Crucifix bruised and swollen I viewed in haiste
 It's mother had birthed it a breech,
 Artisitic lapel of blood swam down,
 Bathing the crooked, wheated ring,
 Surely once the grace of the brow of Christ,
 Down his shoul tossed thought never to rise,
 I saw no evidence of his voyage here,
 Only the rot of renegade respectables,
To this I must acclaim,
 Sheer numbers they knew,
 For thousands in tides swirled under and over,
 Groped to all, ulous movement,
 Huddled in urine foul with age,
Cramping, tightening, contractions and pumps
 Moans of desire timed in swirl of sex,
 Showers of salt primed their backs,
 Along with roaches and rodents grown dead,
 Hands reaching, longing, longer their reach,
 Scratching and crawling over mates,
 Who worked in dozens, or pairs, or oft alone,
 Still thriving to settle nauseous itches at bay,
 Yet spent they were, hungry they remain,
Crippled in union, I too was took,
 Abundance of cravings previously revoked,
 Dining I ate, all race, all creed,
 All roaches near tongue found death unafraid,
 Lashings of saliva sprayed home and drooled,
 Oozing between us with semen sculptured in flight,
In orgasmic convulsions we plundered whomever,
 Lay over or under with lusturous grins,
 Twas feast and famon contorting the sword,
 I soared my sword through anxious host,
 Then bestowed myself for others to gauge,
 Turn after turn, I bled and teared,
 Still able to coax my sex to writhe,
Past and beyond, long before,
 Recieving the waves open, I endure
 No sorrow blocks my pillage of greed,
 No hate nor fear polishes an end,
To my rampaging lovers, all foes, yet food,
 I eat well but nourish no strength,
 Other than to quench the reddened ache,
Oh, how I hunger some rest,
 Lest a pillow of roses to bed,
 Gentle mirages to sturdy the mind,
 Half twinged with fate,
 Half still to find.

To want nothing
and to be nothing
is the ultimate state of being
for in nothingness
one has no being
and by being nothing
one is void
of all materiality
strip away
all possessions
and belongings
because they
are an illusion
those that are caught up
in the material reality
will have great
difficulty in the year 2020
for only the realm of the virtual
can immitate the inmaterial realm
for in that day
linear regressions
will be obsolete
in the divine realm
of the imagination
that shall go beyond
the confinement of space and time.

                           This boy
                      Of whom she spoke.
                      So she stayed and
                         She prayed
                        Until on day
                       Out of the hay,
                         To this toy
                          Came a boy

                     Who made her steam.

I had a dream once upon a time
But that dream is gone never
To be found again.
I dreamed of love and
Happiness unending
But that dream is
As dead as my heart.
I dreamed of tenderness
Of smiles ever morn
But along the way
The dream did leave.
Of paying bills
Worring over nothing
For things are shared by both
But tis no more that dream
I had a dream once
Oh so long ago
But it died
Why can't I?

Freedom
In the gulags of the past
Prisoners were forced to fast
Stripped of value
they found trust
Denied comfort
they lost lust
Reduced to circumstances of denial
They Fused their souls to love unbridled
Like winged birds, they found their voice
When truth by default was their choice

There was once a man,
he lived in a can.
There once was a girl,
who lives outta this world.
There was once a mom,
who was an x-con.
There was a fight,
between the girl and the mom,
oh what a sight.
They yelled and screamed,
Punched a wall and the hole gleamed.
Death was wished apon the mom,
it could have been, but it was prevented.
The girl wouldn't allow it,
She killed the beast, without a fit.
The beast wanted her,
he tried to kill her,
But she killed it first.
The beast was dead,
the mom lived, but not happily ever after.
The beast will be back in a new form.
And not so easy to defeat the next time.
Buut She will be ready,
and the job will be done right.
The fight will be slow and to the death,
of one or both,
who will survive:

Written : 08/01/95.04:33am
Sitting in my quite dark room,
no one can find me.
There's silence all around
with the shadows closing in.
Moving all over my room.
The sounds of death fills the air,
Loneness fill me up.
Am I truly alone here? Does anyone hear my cry's of help?
   NO!!
Will you help me?
   NO!!
If you did when I was there my room would be filled
with brightness of love and joy.
Instead the musty damp smell of dirt is all around.
Pressure, Oh the pressure crushing me.
How long will we be one?
As the time goes by I can not tell.
I'm not in heaven, nor in hell.
My room and me are away out of sight but,
still I won't give up the fight.
Now, my body is not one with me.
My soulis in flight. Its doomed to roam around
insearch but, yet still out of sight.
If I try to get your attention don't push me aside again.
You see you were not there for me in my life.

   he's reading the paper.
   With the smell of the morning dew,
   and fresh flowers blooming in the sun.
   All around me happiness
   I poured my cup of coffee,
   and I cryed to myself.

Take a look, up there in the sky
Can you see thier wings from here
Didn't expect black feathers did you
Didn't expect the angels to caw like that
Your last breath falls from your lips
Like the silence between seconds
Are you waiting for someone to come for you?
The sky is black with them, black with feathers
You used to feed me, with your eyes
Now they peck over them
You used to lay on your bed
Now you lay were they dumped you
How many hours are spent wondering
Hom many hours spent bleeding like this
In the dark you hurt longer than reality
In reality you've only just begun
Cordial smiles flash like daggers here
Hands are rough and stained down here
Curiousty has killed more beautiful things than cats
The page turns and your name is gone
Just one night I want to wake pleasently
Just one night without dreams and memories
Just one night to see you whole again
Just one more night till I'm there

OK. Before I write 1) I don't have AIDS 2) I'm not pregnant and 3) it's
just a poem I wrote after I saw "Philadelphia" (sp?) w/Tom Hanks about
AIDS. It means a lot, although it is in a female's poin of view, because
(cough cough) I am a female.
         "Whatever ... "
Blinded by the light of the early moon
lost in the stars she gazes
The only thing she can ask herself is
"Why so many phazes?"
She lays back down to go to sleep
But can't fall asleep quite yet
She needs to cry, a mournful weap
To those lose in her debt
She sits up, shaking from her nightmare
She looks at herself in a mirror
The nightmare being that he didn't care
She now sees everything clearer
She cries herself to sleep again
Trying to hide the tears
She can't hide, it causes her too much pain
And she can't forever hide her fears
They haunt her like a nightmare
A nightmare from within
She had always been the one who cared
For people committing sin
"Not my fault", she'd always say
To people passing by
"When I get mad, they'll ALL PAY"
When she got home, she cried
The one who had always been there for her
Was there no more, none at all
She felt sick, the kind you can't cure
And was shocked at what she saw
Someone had given it to her
While she slept in his bed
She thought all of this with a GREAT BIG SMILE
"And I will now screw up his head"
A shot of a gun, and it was through
She was lost, and is still lost as time ends
All one unique flaw in her (AIDS)
And this is how bad she needed REAL friends
Sitting down at an empty table
With him no longer there
She sits and comfortabely she smiles
While tending her baby with care
She tends the baby and is a good mother
She puts the baby to sleep, and cries
"Why couldn't I have been a bit pickier?"
That would have ended all the lies
The baby woke up, and started crying
She looked at her pale white skin
She saw herself, and her baby dying
She had her tears, but from within
The story is now his to tell
As she cries, from above
The man had doomed them both to hell
The ones, he didn't love ...

   Cold Summer Day
There it was.
I had found it.
My quest complete, I just stood there.
Looking.
And not looking.
I knew the words, but I read them anyway,
several times.
Such a boring rock.
Such simple words.
But they wrenched at my heart, my gut, my soul.
This was not how I had planned it.
Then again, I was sure this was not how he had planned it either.
I could see someone had been there recently;
my sister, I guessed.
Who else could it have been?
But she would never tell me.
And I would never ask.
I could think of nothing to say to that gray rock
on that gray day
in that gray place.
But I found a way to say everything.
The highs and the lows.
The triumphs and failures.
The pride.
And the shame.
Silently, I left a token of my visit, and walked back to the car.
Silently, we drove away.
Silently, I can't stop screaming.

and how drunk we were!
The star-filled summer sky above us,
the music surrounding us,
the faces swirling everywhere, along with everything else.
Including us.
And then I left.
The pleasant thoughts are cut short,
interrupted by the memory of reality.
She dived headlong into a drugged-out existence,
had the son of some loser waste case,
and disappeared out of my life.
Six years after I last saw her,
I was probably within a few short miles.
But I didn't pick up the phone
or drive down the road
to see what had happened.
Maybe I just don't want to know.
The past is a dangerous place,
and sometimes it's better left alone.
Maybe I will call her tomorrow.
Maybe.

   The Enchantress
Depressing music plays as I lay here waiting
in the middle of the night
for the endless cycle to continue.
Though they are sung by a stranger,
the words seem to be my own
sung for you--always for you.
Years have passed, and still it's all for you.
Years since I knew your love...and embrace.
The time has changed us both,
for better, for worse,
but still I know I would die for you
or kill for another kiss from your mesmerizing lips.
Why after all this time do you still have this hold on me?
Women come and go in my life
but in the end they always fail.
I can't help but to hold them up to you
and your mystical way.
I guess they never had a chance.
Do I?

-= The beautiful Palace =-
Walking down the halls...
 Shimmering white walls...
Glitteing lines trace...
 Stunning electric grace...
Murmurs softly heard...
 of an old wise bird...
Whose knowledge can be found...
 Flying underground...
On roadways on metal...
 moving faster than the devil...
On a path to my home...
 to my palace... to my throne...
In my land vitua-real..
 Where I take moments to steal..
The beauty and grace...
 Of information's knowing face...
It is only the streams I care for..
 which is what the data is there for...
To support my kindom of dreams...
 My electric palace conneected to all things...

   HATE IS A STRONG WORD
I hate you
not because you are you but because when you look at me
all you see is a 5'10 Dick and not as human being with
feelings and emotions.
I hate you
because when you have lived your life around girls,
you don't realize that there are real men out there
that are responsible and do think with their minds
and not with their heads.
I have never hated anyone
like I hate you for this. You tick me off when I know,
even in a professional atmosphere, you look at me as
nothing more than a 5'10 Dick and nothing else.
To the mother of a trapped daughter,
How Dare You Judge Me!
Look in the Mirror my friend
and see the uglyness you are becoming.

Don't hold another's pain,
Above that of your own.
Crying for a fool,
Or like a fool,
Then you are a fool.
Don't dwell another's confusion,
When your own is just short of madness.
Trying to understand,
That of a fool,
Then you are lost forever in anothers unknown thoughts.
Don't hope for another's love,
When your own is not for yourself.
Desiring to feel,
From a fool,
Then your heart is broken.

She keeps calling her old friends,but they are gone,
they turned their shoulders and won't know anything about her.

I am starting to forget
the little details
and one of the days is blending into another
the sight of squirrels at play
the taste of you
the line of your inner thigh
the brush of your shaving line on my cheek
I drift back often in memories
but I can no longer trust them
I have embelished and repaired the memories
Tuesday's dinner is on Wednesday night
Did we make love outdoors or was that a dream?
I am starting to forget the detail

What kind of wine was it? Reisling?
Merlot? Marque de Caseras? Eiswein?
Why was I bitter that last day?
When did you save my life?
and why?

Within that warm night
I could see a fuzzy light
and though I tried to
resist it with all my might
I could not win the fight
My mind would only soar
to that place empty of
time and space that was a nexus
for a banished king
forbidden to enter the gate
My ceptor has turned dust
as my crown can only be seen
by the wise ones
My cloak is the sun that me back
just as the wind is the friend
that kisses my face
When Onya sleeps
Madessa rises
Two stones only one can be seen
Both persue
Both run away
Madessa please stay
await for your love Onya to wake
To the North we adore
To the South we admire
To the West we wonder
To the East we seek the King of Gilgamesh
From a banished soul exiled from a duality of existence forever
trapped with the Nexus forbidden to feel or taste the fruit
of the material, forever disconnected from "Kalimar!"
Oh how miss
my home so afar
for she awaits
to see me
the I was
before the translation
now they are blind
to the one who
loved them
across the vast
sea and misty stars
within the dark night
that hides the light
that can help me see
my precious home
so far away
called "Kalimar!"

What is your reward?
For destroying all the relationships in sight?

Just a little lost girl,
Trying to find some happiness and light.
Don't you see?
Won't you realize?
Can't you stop this circle of nothing?
You speak your words,
Of which you should follow,
Then you distrust your own wisdom and see what it brings.
What do I feel?
Do I even care anymore?
Could they or I hold you and make it right?

stars fall with speed
that the earth has

your silloutte, illumintating
the auroas of lives
come and gone, and still
to come in the waking
light.
you wonder who you
are and where you
came from and who
posses your turbid,
morbid soul and existance.
the sky falls on your
shoulders and you heold

you crumble to the soggy
soil and you sink in over your head and grasp at

you're 6 feet under and without

Today came like a package from tangier
Soiled, blackened by the ashes of tribal sacrifice
Yesterday dictates today and so forth,
Everyday is a new inferno
Born from yesterdays fiery womb
I can see the trail in my sleep,
The fire whispering and then with a wimper
It pisses itself and dies in it's own deluge
Candles are for reading by
In desperate places, where dirty children cringe
And sell themselves for food.
You burn the candle and read of somewhere far away,
Somewhere between the lines where your body isn't worth a crown
Or a peso, or a franc
Bodies are sold for dollars here, but they never write about that
No, the living aren't candles
Man is not as noble and unique as he would like to think
The smell of ancient perfume and rich powder,
I can't help thinking that the black plague was fed
By some of the ripest pigs
No, the living aren't candles
The living are an uncontrolable blaze who's light paves the way
For future children to sell themselves by
And when the light doth tire
Who will cry in the dark
Not the children, who by candle and sweaty matress
Witness the fire's last light
And breath with relief
Alone in the dark

You!

reflections of you,

Me!

just me and you,
and in the deeps holdin' you mind.
Sometimes your wrong and sometimes your right,
you don't expect me to put up a fight,
I'm sick and tired of all of your lies,
I'M SICK AND TIRED AND I'M SAYING GOODBYE!
I don't need your poison,
I don't need your soul,
I don't need forgiveness,
I DON'T NEED YOU!
Your!
shadowing me,
what I used to be,
I'm fading against the light from the outside,
I!
I know what you need,
because I can see I'm taking over thoughts in your mind.
Sometimes your wrong and sometimes your right,
your in the dark so I'll turn on the light.
I'm sick and tired of all of your lies,
I'M FUCKING TIRED AND I'M SAYING GOODBYE!
I don't need your poison,
I don't need your soul,
I don't need forgiveness,
I DON'T NEED YOU!
Look in the mirror my friend,
and look at the ugliness you have become.
Thanks to the group, Gravity Kills,
on the soundtrack Mortal Kombat.
greetings comrade
I salute and hail

may the light

I am your periphery
I no longer exist

Not a Poem, But I Felt Like Writing It that Way So "F" Off!
Thanks for taking my few strengths and showing they are nothing.
Thanks for taking my weaknesses and exploting them till I'm suicidal.
Thanks "Friends" for "being there".
And if my every thought was about you?
If my every want was to be near you?
If my only need was you?
Is that being in love with you?
I guess I could say I'm not.
But then I'm getting quite good at lieing.
It doesn't matter anyway, who cares what I love.
I'm getting quite good at back stabbing,
And useing other people too.
Guess I'm learning how to grow up huh?
Destroy who I am in the process,
Oh well don't have a "who I am" anyways,
So I'll just pretend I'm an emotionless monster.
Lie, and tell everyone what they want to hear.
Then I can make everyone happy,
And use the hell outta them.
Make myself miserable for not being myself,
But least I'd have the satifaction,
Of not having the shoe marks on MY back.
Hurt enough people,
Make enough people cry,
Cry my last few tears,
And then I would eventually not care anymore,
(Not that I want to now)
And then,
Then I'll be a full fledge member of the human fucking race.
And then I might as well be dead.
So maybe I should jump to the end now?
And destroy all that I am,
Kill me.
Since my "friends" will eventually do it to me anyways. . . .
Or has it already been done,
And these thoughts are just the sad remnants,
Of a spirit,
Without a soul.

TRUTH, LOVE, AND COURAGE
I miss those summer nights
Down in Orange Grove,
Where the Danderberries bloomed
And the night ballads filled
The skies with their allusions.
And I miss those days--
When you and I were together
In what seemed to be eternity.
I miss those adventures
Over the valleys' seams
Whe what we knew meant nothing
Of what was ahead--
And we expected the least
To what we ever wished
To know of ourselves-- of innocence;
I miss that innocence
I miss those bardic tales we knew
So well in our days of youth
Where love was everything
To us-- we needed it;
We couldn't live without it.
Where truth was vital
To our existance in life,
And where courage came from the heart.
And to all I miss the most
Is you who has left.
The love we once felt, abandoned;
Lies covered our honesty
And courage was thwated by
The cowerdice of our own foolish ways.
I miss the course we once had--
What we might have been.
As I echo from the beginning
I miss those bardic tales
Where truth always overcame lies;
I miss those adventures
Where courage kept us together;--
And I miss those summer nights
Where our love was strong--
And NOTHING could hold us apart.

Subject : poem of puns
Written : 10/02/95.04:17am
This is another poem that the grade six class did for language. It is from
their unit on humor and I know that some people on the list like puns so
I'll post this one too!! I hope that every one has their mail on. There are
38 puns in this poem. They are simple puns like the Pears in pairs but it
took the combined effort of several teachers to know all the puns. See how
you guys measure up!!!Or, it's good for a silly laugh.
The Cherries' Garden Gala
The Cherries' garden gala
was the finest seen in years,
the Pears arrived in couples,
and the Prunes all carried shears,
the Greens had splendid collars,
and the Peaches wore new shoes,
an Orange dances a hornpipe,
and a Berry sang the blues.
The Beets were playing bongos,
as the Lettuce marched ahead,
the Zucchini made a racket,
but the Ginger seemed well-bred,
the Dates appeared unsteady.
though the Currants stayed on course,
the Turnips whirled in circles,
and the Radishes grew hoarse.
The Beans could not stop coughing
as the Corn told awful jokes,
the Plums were bobbing gaily
with some hearty Artichokes,
a Cauliflower listened
as the Grapes began to whine,
and the Melons started bawling
just to see the Apple pine.
When the Garlic dropped a penny
and the mint produced a bill,
the Chard grew overheated,
and a Pepper caught a chill,
then the Rhubarb got to fighting,
and the Lemons seemed afraid,
but the Thyme could not help watching,
though the Mushrooms all sought aid.
The Onions dipped politely,
as the Leeks began to spring,
the Sage repeated maxims,
and the Carrots formed a ring,
a Tomato acted saucy
to a rather bossy Pea,
and the Potatoes wept with pleasure
at the Cherries' jubilee.

I am going to write a poem from memory (so it may not be as good as the
original I have)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
         COLOURS
BLACK and I have an agreement.
We don't acknowledge each other.
RED turns her back to me.
She doesn't see me as one of her children.
WHITE embraces but hates me.
I always feel as if I'm facing my greatest foe.
YELLOW sees me as a fascinating subject.
I seem to be under constant observations.
BROWN invites me like a stranger.
I'm always welcome but I'll never fit in.
COLOURLESS sees how I am treated and is appalled.
She looks upon the others and is shamed.
She takes me in, nurtures and protects me.
It is in her shadow that I grow strong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like I left some out but that happens when done by memory.
Please..PLEASE..write me and tell me what you think. I am 115388.

Salute and call him Major Mental Disorder
He fights for Red, Right, and Blue

He reads the sports page
and that is all he cares to know
GI Joe, a real american hero

      Locked up inside me
         this intolerable pain
            pounds at me endlessly
               like Indian Rain.
      Deep wounds cover my soul, haunted memories torment my mind
      Slices of hatred, injustice, from you, evil, unkind.
      Frantic, I reach out...Scared, I shy away
      Frightened I lie still, keeping my ghosts at bay
     Â
   What it is, I can never tell
   Only those in same shoes,
   know this hell.                 They were there too.
   Dark secrets, black clouds, Bad memories, bad taste

Trapped in the cold and darkened corner
Crying, tears streaming down
Feeling sadness rush all through my body
Loneliness surrounds me, making me shiver
Shivering, from the cold, and what seems to be
The endless night
It keeps going on, as if it were never to end
Barely staying awake, and barely staying warm
You pull me close to your body, and keep me warm
You provide for me, what I can not provide for myself
You wrap your arms around me, and pull me closer
The cold becomes steam hot, and the darkness lifts
Light shines from every way
Waters wash over, and wash away my sadness
No more loneliness, company is always provided
Live for the moment, and express what you wish ....
-Me

      Natural Beauty
   Like the forest in spring
   ablaze with life
   her smile, the warmth
   that fills my heart
   her touch, like magic

Yes ... matches the dark side of my personality :)
For those who care, here are the complete words to the song (and for those
who don't care, hit 'n'):
Aqualung
Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.
Feeling alone --
the army's up the rode
salvation la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sot, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

Subject : Down and Depressed
Written : 10/07/95.09:53am
One more by Zeela ... I think this one needs no explanation in this
forum:
DOWN AND DEPRESSED
They're down and depressed
their emotions wrung out,
complications and fears
have given them doubts,
about their directions
down the road,
insecure in themselves
and their futures untold.
As tears fall down
their cheeks in streams
they wonder what happened
to their fairytale dreams,
of love and life
as it was meant to be
full of fun and happiness
and problem free.
The anguish builds
in their despair
as the torment grows
and it's hard to bare.
The smile they express
is not true
the pain they feel
still shows through.
For the soul can be read
in ones eyes,
like an open book
they tell no lies.
But deep inside
there's a spark of hope
and with support
of loved ones
they begin to cope
They tackle each mountain
one step at a time,
they may fall back,
but they continue to climb.
With determination and faith
as their seeds, they look above
for their needs.
God is there by their side
to guide them in
their everyday stride.

Subject : Ode to Boogernose
Written : 10/07/95.08:05am
I can see the overwhelming response to Zeela's poem :)
Here's another one:Â Zeela has another friend who leaves a little
snot hanging down when she blows her nose. None of her friends
would tell her this, so Zeela wrote the following poem and gave it
to her:
The friend's name is Laura Mae (for real) ... Net is Jeanette (another
friend) and the poem is writeen from Laura Mae's perspective.
ODE TO BOOGERNOSE
We went shopping
my friends and I,
and decided to get
a bite to eat
before we said good-bye.
As we entered the restaurant
it felt kind of eerie,
for everyone I saw
looked at me kind of leary.
As we sat at the table
I started to realize
that even my friends
couldn't look me in the eyes.
They would glance at each other
and look my way,
were they keeping a secret
from me, their friend,
Laura Mae?
I got so upset
I jumped upon the floor,
"What's going on here?"
I shouted,
"I can't take it anymore!"
With my hands on my hips
in my angry pose,
everyone shouted,
"Okay, okay,"
"You're a Boogernose!"
In my embarrassment
I ran outside
to find a place
where I could hide.
I stuck my finger
up my honker
to try to find
that ugly monster.
I fought and fought
and it finally came out.
It wasn't a pretty sight,
but I won the bout.
I gave it a flick
and it flew thru the air,
I could hardly contain myself
as it landed in Net's hair.
I didn't say a word
and went on my way
for this was my secret
and it made my day.

   They bash their

   Into my flesh,
   And force pins in,
   Making me bleed
   An invisible blood.
   And only to hang
   Egotistical reflections
   Of eachother.
   Behind the thick,
   Sticky paper I am
   Smothering, and it's
   Converting me into
   A hideous hue.
   I slowly await
   For my day of death,
   When flames of fury ignite........

I havent written in a while....
Folgers has started making some new coffees. That isnt new news, since the coffee industry is a highly competitive one.It is also a sometimes entertaining one especially if anyone has ever walked into a Starbucks and ordered a large mocha (I have, and the look on the barista's face is good for a bit of amusement) Maybe I shouldnt taunt the Starbucks employees, no matter how much fun it can be. "Can I get a look of disgruntled barista with my large frappacino?" Who comes up with these names anyways? 'barista, grande coffee, frappacino, frappe'...
on to the good stuff....
Folgers has a Brazzilian blend that is very georgious for a coffee. It is a coffee that has a good flavor, full body, and is a great eye opener on any morning. This coffee is good for year round coffee drinking, it is a good morning and afternoon coffee. Add just a bit of cream, sugar, and honey, and you have one fantastic cup of coffee.....
now for a coffee shop alert.....
once, long ago, I went to a place called Java Daves. Now mind you, this was some years ago, and I realize it is a chain. I decided to go back, since it had been years since my first visit. I didnt have anything good to say about this place the first visit. there was a lot of religious propaganda EVERYWHERE. Now, i can handle the zelious coffee shop, but this was a bit extreme. I also dont feel that the person working behind the counter needs to give me a sunday morning sermon with my cup of java. I was highly dissapointed in the staff, and the coffee was just horrid. It wasnt anything I ever cared to stomach again.
Now, for the re-visit...
I had a drink called a Sugar daddy, which indeed tasted much like the sugar daddy pops of my youth. I thought that was ok, but the service was a bit lacking. It seemed like she was in a hurry to get us out of her way and was a bit occupied with things other than her job. I also tried a sip of my husbands Chai. It was extremley lacking in good flavor.I am not a big Chai drinker, and prefer more coffee based drinks, but this was not my idea of a good chai. It was drinkable, and I am sure there are worse out there. The place had a unfriendly atmophere, it wasnt coffee shop, it screamed "I am a coffee chain" The place had quite a lot of potental when it came to atmosphere, but it had a long ways to go. I could tell by my drink, that the coffee itself left a whole lot to be lacking.The flavor did not go smoothy down, and left a more bitter aftertaste. So thumbs down to this place. I was unimpressed once again, and I doubt it will be anytime soon before I go back, and that is IF I ever go back, which it more sounds like it is going to be. I could go spend my coffee money elsewhere, and get a good atmosphere, fantastic coffee drinks, and fun server/barista/brewers. So stay away from java daves if you have any appreciation for coffee in anyway. Spend your money at the local mom and pop coffee houses, they could use the patronige a bit more. Supporting the local buisnesses is always a much better idea than the chains and corperations. The chains and corperations dont care, while the local buisnesses do care about the customers!
so hopefully I wont wait so long for my next post.
untill next time...
dont forget the cream and sugar.

A SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS
By
Major Bruce Lovely
Adopted from a similar poem, Anonymous.
Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
And to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about, a strange sight i did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
With medals and badges, awards of all kinds,
A sober thought came through my mind.
For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home.
The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured a United States soldier.
Was this the hero of whom i'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?
I realized the families that I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.
Soon round the world, the children would play,
And grownups would celebrate a bright christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,
Because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.
I couldn't help wonder how many lay alone,
On a cold Christmas eve in a land far from home.
The very thought brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to my knees and started to cry.
The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry, this life is my choice;
I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more,
My life is my God, my Country, my Corps."
The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours, so silent and still
And we both shivered from the cold night's chill.
I didn't want to leave on that cold, dark, night,
This guardian of honor so willing to fight.
Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure,
Whispered, "Carry on Santa, it's Christmas Day, all is secure."
One look at my watch, and I knew he was right,
Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night.

MAN, I'M GLAD I'M A MAN, MAN
Everyday I give thanks to God
I was born a man instead of a broad
When Oprah comes on, I turn off the TV
I don't shave my legs, I stand up to pee
I go to a barber, not a beauty salon
Don't pluck out my eyebrows just to draw them back on
Don't wax my pubes so I can wear shorts
I use my turn signal, I understand sports
Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
Tell you the reason I am
I don't go through a faze every 28 days
Man, I'm glad I'm a man
I pay cash at the grocery, no checks or coupons
Don't take a lot of friends when I go the the john
I don't throw a fit when I break a nail
I don't buy a lot of shoes just because they're on sale
I don't apply makeup in my rear-view mirror
I don't think of Bambi when I'm out hunting deer
I drink beer from a bottle, not from a glass
I don't ask my friends about the size of my ass
Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
Tell you the reason I am
I don't face the pain of water-weight gain
Man, I'm glad I'm a man
Let me tell you ladies
Listen to me ladies
I love those things inside of your blouse
I love your pretty faces
Your warm and soft embraces
But if I had my own two boobs, I'd never leave the house
I don't spend two hours getting ready for a date
I don't play with dolls unless they inflate
When someone asks me my age, I never lie
After sex in bed, my spot's always dry
I don't read about orgasms in Vogue magazines
I don't mind if my dates try to get in my jeans
I don't spend a fortune on French lingerie
This is the same underwear I wore yesterday
Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
Tell you the reason I am
I don't take a pill, I don't use Massengill
Man, I'm glad I'm a man
Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
Tell you the reason I am
I find Michael Bolton completely revoltin'

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Really love me?
You like the credit cards, and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels, and fancy clothes,
And the sound of electric guitars, but
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Really love me?
You really like, rock and roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts, and studios
And all the money honey, that i make, but
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
REally love me?
Your back stage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
From all of the magazines
But....
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Really love me?

I...hurt myself today.
To see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain.
The only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole.
The old familiar sting.
Tried to kill it all away.
But I remember everything.
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away, in the end...
You could have it all.
My empire of dirt
I will let you down.
I will make you hurt...
I wear this crown of shit.
Upon my liars chair.
Full of broken thoughts.
I can-not repair...
Beneath the stains of time.
The feelings disappear.
You are someone else
I am still right here...
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away...in the end.
You could have it all
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down.
I will make you hurt.
If I could start again
A million miles away.
I would keep myself.
I...would find...a way...

I hate reading the same entries three and four times. Two is okay...bu
tthree and four times c'mon......
Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler ANd it would knock me to the floor if I
wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
ANd I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
WHat I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
ANd what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
-----snip-----
All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelenght
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

How do you say what you long to say
When your voice is a million miles away
When the one that holds you so close and dear
But he does not see when you shed a tear
How do you say what you long to say
When he is always a million miles away
When his hand is wrapped around you
But he does not know when you speak the untruth
How do you say what you long to say
When you are always a million miles away
When you are ready, but do not want to hurt him
But he does not know that you are uncertain
May not make sense ... but oh well right?

Sitting around
drinking a Latia'
thinking, "we're sain."
Watching the crowed
go 'round, listening
to the rain...
Pop your bubble
I scream out loud.
Your hair touches
your lips;
Sing, sing, let
me shine,
whispers the words
in a ryhme...
Nothing but not noise is heard in endless
time, like lime light
on a neon night;
reckless, motionless
only echo's of soundless
commotionless, speachless
like a singing angel,
touching the birth
of a newborn;
Where is the newborn?
No breath of fresh air?
No yearning for the touch of earthly
milk; Just the touch of satin silk
untarnished, unloved, silentness;
Keeps the dull air light in this
ageless midnight Flare.
Raging with such glare;
Yet only a single stare;
Only eye's as pure as your's
can light my way,
so look at me when I walk
so I may see today...

Standing in the rain

Standing in the rain

Keeps me humane
Because the memories remain
I highly disdain
Even when no one remembers my name
I will be out there with my cane

Intruders
The feelings come again; those that should not.
The seal must not have propersly been shut.
And like dark shadows are reaching from the wall
To mix me among them, their voices now call.
I panic and freeze as they come towards me
Their cold, laughing faces is all I can see.
I back up in the corner and drop to the floor
As they force now upon me and my emotions control.
I stare out the windown, tears upon my face
As I await the sunlight and warmth to embrace.
The night drags on without sign of an end,
As I endure my intruders till their morning's ascend.
How could they escape their tight sealed cage?
But my best seal they break with their ra,
As I endure my intruders till their morning's ascend.
How could they escape their tight sealed cage?
But my best seal they break with their rage
With the morning I must burry them deep,
And await till my seal no longer can keep.

THE OLD WOMAN
The snow fell harder and harder but still the old woman pressed on.
She looked back on her life, and realized she'd never been near a warm
fire. All she had was a worn jacket and an old pair of sweats to keep
her warm. The snow still fell all around her; she then realized that this
was a blizzard and she needed to find a shelter and a warm fire, but she
knew that in her heart she would never be near a warm fire. As she was
walking, she bumped into a man. He made an offer to her. He told her he
would build a nice, warm fire for her and he would even give her a few
matches to last her at least part of the dreadful winter. All she had to
do was share an old blanket that she had. She agreed. She didn't know
why, in other situations like the present one she would have turned the
offer down, everybody else she had ever let walk into her life had always
wanted something more than they let on, and she was always the one getting
nothing. This man, she thought, was different. He had a certain look in
his eyes that she could not explain that made her trust him. He told her
to lie down and relax while he gathered wood for the fire. She fell
asleep. The next morning two hunters found her dead. She had nothing, no
jacket, no sweats, no blanket, and there wasn't even a trace of a fire.
The man had convinced her he would take care of her, and he ended up
leaving her to fend for herself. She turned out to be a 15 year old girl
with long blonde hair and green eyes. The name on her head stone read
"Jane Doe", for no one knew who she was. Nobody quite knew why she had
died, but everyone had their assumptions. One of them was that she had
always fought the snow and the cold and she just couldn't do it anymore
and she gave up and died. Others had said that she was just an old bum
that didn't care less if she died or not. She looked down from the
heavens upon them, and wished that she could have done better.
This is submitted in behalf of my 14 yr old daughter.

Looking at the horizon
Thinking about the past
Analyzing my misstakes
I sit by the sea
Listining to the waves lap
Searching for comfort in the sound
I sit by the sea
Looking at the stars
Thinking about the future
Looking at the choices I fear to make
I sit by the sea
Watching the moon set
Woundering 'bout tomorrow
And what will come at me next
I sit by the sea
Listining to the waves lap
Searching for comfort in the sound

NOT SO MANY
The world of supposedly spiritual people is full of
unconsciously hypocritical people.
A self-centred aspirant to higher consciousness was
visiting a Sufi centre and paused to speak to the keeper of
the gate.
"I was reflecting", he said, "how few of us know how
many true seekers of the Truth there are in this world...."
"I have been looking after this gate for half a century,
and I can tell you something about it" said the other man.
"Really? Then how many are there?"
"'One fewer than you think there are."

Love
Laughter
Sorrow
Joy
Ectasy
Fantasy
Fun
Smiles
Fear
You learn from these
Choose how you will live
How will you respond to the gifts?
You cannot always control
what occurs during a time
You choose and control your response.
Those choices
Determine your life
Give back to life
the rewards of your endeavors.
Seize life!
for it is short in time
but long in memories
Seize life!
for the most precious gifts you will receive
is that of learning to do for yourself,
and that of giving to others.

For some reason I remeber the girl who died in the park where I used to
play. I can still remember when the word murder was vague and rape was a
series of familiar letters in a foriegn word. I wondered about her a lot.
Was she pretty? Was she nice? I was just a kid and back then these things
mattered. I had no idea what to think and life went on. A couple years
later, a stray preposition sparked the memory again. It might have been
the child molester who used his teaching skill to "get closer" to his
students but I don't remeber. I started thinking about her fear and her
death and how lonely and scared she must have been. I asked why but I was
to young to figure out the answer. Ten years later I've moved to a strange
state, broken all my ties, met new people. The desert seems like the kind
of place where people lose themselves and sometimes staring out at the
mountains I feel more alone then ever. I listen to the news and hear a
story about the rape of a woman by fourteen youths. My face flushed, my
fists clenched. I began to realize then that there weren't enough psychos
in the world to commit the incredible amount of astrocities going on every
day. I couldn't blame it on the fringe anymore. The criminals are you and
me and all the people around us. The ignorance, naiveity, the blindness of
the masses could be condoned no longer. We let this happen. All of us. We
contribute to world inhumanity. If you think just because you don't commit
a crime your absolved of guilt, think again.

Destruction, hate, power
A poor man's fate
Blood, scattered bones, empty graves
Who raves in this carnage?
of broken homes?
Unborn child's wicked cry
like a fly on the dead masses
Death, life
a new born's first breath
hushed by artillary in the air
fire which burns the nights sky
scorched like a plane freshly crashed
Smash, trash, bash
as the young wooden soldier falls in the ash....
tormented souls buried in the after math.....
oh child of the new age
dreaming of writing life's next page
thinking the world is your open stage....
like a mage, preparing a good knight for battle...
Rage burns in the open heart....
like two bodies clashing in the sheets...
trying helplessly to cheat the fates of war....
Bloody almost savage, like a flegling from an egg....
almost as the bodies that lay a mist were tiny pegs...
floating helplessly in the morning dew....
crashing ever so much down on the whining soul...
asking for No more.....

Darkening of the Light
======================
Like a gohst - is teh curtain
In the white light of morning-
Dancing in the morning
Are you there - are you there?
And a shadow - like a sadness
Falling all across the garden
Dancing in the garden
Are you there, are you there?
Shine on, friend. Goodnight
Why then the darkening of the light?
And the leaves at my feet
Whisper sounds so familliar
Whisper so familliar-
Are you there? Are you there?
Shine on, friend. Goodnight
Why then the darkening of the light?
Where the clouds pull apart
And the moon changes faces
In the quiet secret places
Are you there? Are you there?

Oh how he cried, you should have heard it
That blubbering, blithering, cracking voice
I sit in an elusive gloom, and grin
I grin the grin of the damned, the sharp grin
The cutting grin that can't be seen
I laugh and whisper "You're so pretty when you're pleading."
His cries, like angels with their wings
Twisted into straw begging God for death
"Beg God for death." I whisper.
His skin seperates like latex underneath my surgeon's caress
"Do you know what sixty miles does to a child?" I whisper.
I show him by breaking his fingers to the wrist
Peeling his eyes with a piece of dirty aluminum
Cutting out his heart with a knife made from pigs bone
And drowning him in toilet water
Not even that different from the canal
Where six years were broken and thrown to oblivion
For one second of dark velocity

Another poem that I wrote:
For a Mother
The porcelain ghost
She lives in the attic
She lives in their dreams
They gave her flowers
In childhood
They loved her
They now are afraid
Her eyes can't close
Her back can't bend
She will still watch over them
They can't leave
And she won't die
When they close the box
When they try to hide it
She still screams

I never watch the show, "Friends," but Taz and made me watch a
scene from an episode a week or two ago ... there was this ditzy blonde
lady with a guitar singing to a group of first or second grade children:
"Hi! I want to sing a song about Grandparents!"
"Now Grandma's a person whom everyone likes
She brought you a train and a shiny new bike
But lately she hasn't been coming to dinner
Last time you saw her she looked so much thinner
Now your mom and your dad said she moved to Peru
But the truth is she died and someday you will too."

Ok ... it doesn't sound that funny now, but if you had seen it maybe. At
the time, we backed the tape up and watched it like 5 or 6 times. My eyes
were swollen shut from laughing so hard. Or maybe it was the expression
on the kids's faces. I don't know. I never watch that show anyway.

DR. BERNICE
==================
Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
She is not a lady doctor at all.
She's got hands like a man.
With hair on the back.
She'll crush you with her embrace.
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
We all need a kind place to live.
Though the wind may whisper and howl at your door
We all need the comfort of friends.
Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
That ain't a real cadillac.
It's a delta 88 spray painted black
with fake leather seats from Juarez
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
On a hot desert night it is still.
Though the world may whisper and howl at your door
You're not obliged to let them all in.
Baby don't you ride in that faux cadillac
If you must please ride in the back.
If you sing while you ride you'll be a siren tonight.
Spare this poor sailor's life from the rocks.
Though the wind may whisper a melody now.
We can't find a tune of our own.
Though the world may whisper and blow in your face
and tangle the hair on your head.
On a hot desert night
We can drive down the road
And the stars will spell out your name.
On a hot desert night with
the windows down wide.
The sirens will sing me their song.
And the ghosts of the sailors
who died on the rocks
Feel not a twitch of regret.
Though the wind may tangle the hair on your head.
You sing like a siren to me.
On a hot desert night
The caravan stops at the oasis next to your heart.
The soundtrack is played by some aged
British queen on BBC radio one.
Though the wind my whisper and epic sometime
the cast must include Karen Black.
Though the symphony strings shifts with the sand.
You sing like a siren to me.
You sing like a siren to me.
You sing like a siren to me.

A Choice
If allowed to love just one
Then I choose that there be none
For I would have to blind my eye
And memories of you deny
My ears could hear no waterfall
Or respond to a sweet child's call
And I would always have to state
My loves before you were mistakes
Since none of that was ever true
I cannot give my love to you

Her voice calms me and washes over me.....
She needs me, she wants me, I need her....
Our love is endless, and burns as bright as the sun.....
Together we will live tomorrow , as if it were.....
our last day with one another...
And we will treat the days after that all the same...
Together we are one and the rest of the world
is nonexistent. Until time is stripped away from us...
We will remain together forever.....

Subject : -= To the pain of sickness... =-
Written : 02/09/96.07:20pm
With painful agony I move my limbs...
with woeful terror I think again...
awakening to that which I hope will end...
the morning of sickness and taint...
I shift myself to wakefulness...
trying to work out the stiffness...
trying think it shall all go away...
only to grumply wish i would faint...
Want nothing more than to be cured...
wanting only the soothing lure...
of some healing art...
or maybe the healing hands of a saint...
In the end I lie in bed...
bitterly wishing I was dead...
awaiting for my body to heal...
for only it can fix illness I feel...

Ode to Drivel
Drivel, Drivel, everywhere,
And nada drop of think.
Drivel here and Drivel there,
It's no wonder that I drink!
/PAUSE
Andyfish is not like chat,
As anyone can see ...
So tell me why is it that
It's never Drivel free?
/PAUSE
It's simply meant to entertain
Those who come and visit.
And it doesn't take much of a brain
To know what's fit and isn't.
/PAUSE
So post away if you please
But make it fun to read!
Or otherwise we'll lose our lease,
And have nowhere else to breed.

Newbies come and Newbies go,
And some become a "user" ...
Others make me want to bellow:

Hark! What is this creature thine eyes have met?
Who is this that walks so boldly, so graceful?
Who is this that is so strong and powerful, yet so timid and shy?
Who is this that beauty hath given a name?
She laughs while happy, she cries when upset.
She worries at many things, yet is content in each one.
She bears pains that no man could overcome.
And with just a simple smile,
She brings forth a light that no sun could ever match.
He needs to be gentle, and graceful with each touch.
He needs to study Her mind, body, and dreams.
He should respect Her wants and desires, for these are many.
He should give and show Her love, for this is what she needs.
He should smile in Her presence, for She is a Woman.
And She is nature's best.
Happy St. Valentine's Day,
diesel boy

CUPID'S NIGHTMARE
/pause
A day meant for love
A day meant for happiness
One day a year
That starts with a kiss
A day for lovers
Wheather young or old
One day a year
Fallen into the mold
A day some enjoy
A day I despise
One day a year
I'm reminded of the lies
A day meant for us
Although, us is no more
One day a year
You left me for that whore
A day you should be here
A day you stay away
One day a year
You decided to play
A day you say you love me
Yet you tell another lie
One day a year
I finally say goodbye
TA_DA!!! AND NO THIS DID NTO

Brain Damage
=============
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paperboy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout but no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

This may not the place to put this, but the way I am feeling right now, I
don't care. You don't have to read this if you don't want to. And if you
are in a really good relationship, I would advise against it. So here goes:
A HEART IS NOT A PLAY THING
A HEART IS NOT A TOY
BUT I FYOU WANT IT BROKEN
JUST GIVE IT TO A BOY.
BOYS LOVE TO PLAY WITH THINGS
TO SEE WHAT MAKES THEM RUN
BUT WHEN IT COME TO LOVING,
THEY DO IT JUST FOR FUN.
BOYS NEVER GIVE THEIR HEARTS AWAY
THEY JUST PLAY YOU FOR A FOOL
BUT WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR HEART TO THEM,
THEY START TO PLAY IT COOL.
YOU'LL WONDER IF HE LOVED YOU
YOU'LL WONDER IF IT'S TRUE.
ONE MOMENT YOU'LL BE HAPPY,
THE NEXT MOMENT YOU'LL BE BLUE.
AND IF YOU DARE TO CALL HIM,
YOUR HEART BEGINS TO DANCE.
YOUR LIFE REVOLVES AROUND HIM,
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE ROMANCE.
AND THEN IT STARTS TO HAPPEN,
YOU WONDER DAY AND NIGHT.
YOU SEE MY FRIEND, YOU'RE LOSING HIM,
IT NEVER TURNS OUT RIGHT.
LOVE IS FUN, BUT IT HURTS SO MUCH
THE PRICE IS MUCH TO HIGH.
IF I HAD A CHOICE BETWEEN LOVE OR DEATH,
I THINK I'D RATHER DIE.
SO WHEN I SAY DON'T FALL IN LOVE,
YOU'LL HURT BEFORE YOU'RE THROUGH,
I OUGHT TO KNOW, YOU SEE
I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
MY LOVE FOR YOU IS FOREVER,
I HOPE YOU UNDERSATND.
BUT WHEN I GAVE MY HEART TO YOU
I THOUGHT YOU WERE A MAN.

Subject : A Valentine's Day Story
Written : 02/14/96.09:39am
It looked just like a hand grenade, except larger. I found it while
digging in the field behind my house and I carried it inside and scrubbed
away as much of the dirt and grime as I could. Underneath all of the crud
was a shiny oblate spheroid covered with esoteric markings. I'm not
exactly sure why, but I knew it was old. Very old. It had that feel
about it that old things have. How old, I had no idea. Maybe ancient.
It sat on the counter for more than a week. Every so often, I would pick
it up and stare at it and turn it over and over in my hands trying to make
some sense of it. The pin with the ring sticking out of the top bothered
me. I wanted to pull it out and see what would happen, but I was afraid
to. Yet I couldn't help wondering what would happen if I did. And I also
knew I would eventually do so. Because I'm like that. Curiosity killed
the cat. I knew that someday it would kill me.
I took the shining orb and drove west into the desert. On up into the
hills until I could go no further. And then I climbed and climbed until I
was atop the highest peak. I sat for a long, long time with the orb (I
had been calling it that for some time now) nestled in my lap, my fingers
caressing the ring, knowing what I was going to do. And finally I couldn't
resist the urge anymore ... I tugged on the ring and the pin slid smoothly
from it's socket.
The resultant flash radiated outward at the speed of light. For thousands
of miles, people were drenched in a rainbow of colors. Photons of every
frequency of the electromagnetic spectra saturated the entire planet and
spread onward to eventually illuminate the entire universe at the end of
time. And the look of surprise that was frozen on the peoples faces
slowly turned to wonder. And they stared at one another with a new
understanding and insight. And the looks of wonder became smiles of joy.

Singled out the kids who are mean to me
Get straight A's but they still make fun
I don't give a, I'll laugh last
Stayed in every night
Do my homework so I'll be smart

Mommy I'm a good boy
Mommy I'm a fuckin' savior
Mommy I'm alive
Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight
Rip the veins from human necks
Until they're wet with life
Razor-blades love teenage flesh
An epidermoty
I'll bring back a souvenir
For it's my mommy's dream
Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight
Killed a girl on lovers' lane
I kept her toes and teeth
Every night I stalk around until I find my keep

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight
Killed a girl on lover's lane

Came to me one rainy evening,
Warmer than the setting sun,
Took my love by the trigger,
Shot me like a gun,
Held me like a baby,
She laughed at my tears,
She said, "Now love, don't you worry"...
Made everything so clear,
She's all right, She's all right
She's got piece of mine...
She smiles like Mona Lisa,
Laughs like the sun,
Kisses like the greatest lover
The world has ever known,
Dance like Ginger Rogers,
Sings like a nightingale,
Makes love like an angel,
Cause my soul to wail,
She's all right, She's all right...
She's got piece of mine.

Subject: Twas the night.....on the Army base
Twas the Night Before Christmas at Ft. Campbell
Twas the night before Christmas,
and all over post
everybody was speeding,
and all loved to boast.
As they sped out the gates,
they shouted with glee,
"The MPs are slow,
they'll never catch me."
With my book full of tickets,
and radar in hand,
I set out to write
every knob in the land.
I scratched my forehead,
and pondered a bit,
Texas and Chaffee
is where I would sit.
I'd no sooner set up,
and tested the gun
when I heard the whining
of the faithful K-1.
Then 20, then 30, then 40,
then more,
I reached for the radio,
"Stop outbound Gate 4."
With my blue lights a flashing,
I raced towards the gate
in hopes that I
would not be too late
As I pulled in behind it,
I stared with dismay.
The guys at the gate
had stopped a red sleigh.
I bit my lip,
as I said with a sneer,
"traffic stop...gate four,
....on nine tiny deer."
He was a jolly fat man,
dressed all in red,
with empty beer cans
piled up in his sled.
His nose was bright red,
his eyes twinkled a bit,
it was not hard to tell
that Santa was lit!
"Santa, you've got no license
for your sleigh or your deer.
Step out of the sled
and move to the rear."
He failed every test,
then did he fuss,
with a mouth like a sailor,
he started to cuss.
He was cursing at me,
and cursing at others,
and then made a comment concerning my mother.
"Santa," I said,
"You don't deserve any slack
put your hands on the trunk
and walk your feet back."
He started to boil
and then acted tough
so we spun him around
and slapped on the cuffs.
As I cuffed him
I heard him say to himself,
"You're just hassling me
because I'm an elf."
Kicking and fighting
we threw him in back,
impounded his sleigh
and took his reindeer to SAC.
When we got to the station,
he was raising all hell
and it shook the whole building
when he was thrown in the cell.
He wanted a lawyer
and he blew a two-four
and then Mrs. Claus
showed up at the door.
He left with his wife,
in a very quiet way,
and we gave him back
his deer and the sleigh.
The news would soon spread,
all over the land,
about the night at Ft. Campbell,
when Santa got slammed.
And I was the bad guy,
some people would say
for stopping the old elf
in his bright crimson sleigh.
And I heard him shout
as they drove out of sight,
"Don't expect any toys
under your tree tonight!"

Choices
If allowed to love only one
Then I choose that there be none
For I would have to blind my eyes
And even memories of you deny
My ears could hear no waterfalls
Or respond to a sweet childs calls
And I would always have to state
My loves before you were mistakes
But none of that was ever true
So I cannot give my love to you.

Colors spin, sparkle
Going down, going up
Side to side
Around in circles

Making squares
Ever changing
Never the same
Always the same
Always different
Music spin, sparkling
Going down, going up
Side to side
Around in circles
Making boxes
Making squares
Ever changing
Never the same
Always the same
Always different
Such is life
The game
The play
The hopes
The fears
Changing shapes
Drifting
Spinning
Hope and fear
Love and hate
Making squares
Making boxes
See the difference
See the sameness
Never ending
Never stopping
Hope to die
Yet to live
Sleep the sleep
Of a thousand years
Color mingle
As to touch
Yet separate
From the bunch
Years of sorrow
Words to come
As music
Upon your finger tips.

So here I sit
Lost in time
And space
Dreaming of the

Here in my arms.
All alone
So very lonely
Loved by some
Yet not wanted
By them.
Slave to none
Longing to serve
Desiring to hold
Caresses and care
For one alone.
All alone
All my life
Should be use to it
But I am
A slave to love
And have none.
So here I sit
Lost in time
And space
Dreaming of the
Day that I have
Love here in my arms
Yet knowing
It will never happen.

Forgiving each others past mistakes
Then forgetting them, never to

In this day of baby selling,
Killing fellow mankind.
I wonder how could we
Have turned so stupid.
Pollution, injustice, and war
Rule our planet.
Greed, hate, and envy
Rule our souls.
The time has come to
Get things right.
Things of what we are
Leaving our children.
When did we lose our values?
Our goals?
Our generation was going
To set the world straight.
Clean up the world,
Stamp out hate and
Bring in love,
Save the animals
Were our battle cries.
Where did they go?
We have sold our souls
For all that glitters
All that shines.
We look down our noses
At the younger generation
The same way we were looked at.
I wonder why?
Don't you see our old
Values in them?
I hope and pray that
This generation doesn't
Turn its back on their beliefs.
And maybe, if we are lucky
The world will become
A better place to live.

The moment you have all been waiting for......
The Denny's Experience
Part II
We had gone to the break, and had a blast,
We went to Denny's and sat on our ass.
We took all teir tables, laughing a bit.
The manager came in, and about took a shit.
We had to wait for 45 minutes, the cook was stalled.
Our waiter was dumb, boring, rude and bald.
He took our orders, and got all screwed up.
Derrick brought J.I.B., while James froze a cup.
The manager was pissed, and made Derrick leave.
They didn't catch him quick enough, he probably had to heave.
That place is hell, the service was bad.
If you get angry quick, you'll definitely get mad.
No chess, or checkers. Parcheesi or Risk.
If you play these games, you'll die realy quick.
So be forewarned travellers nigh....
The people at Denny's smoke crack to get high.

Thoughts
I do not think I want a lover
Or new sunsets to discover
What I prefer is the steady face
Of Friendship's kiss and warm embrace
For that I would exchange a lover
For he would soon be just another
But Friendships last and bring the light

Subject : thanksgiving is depressing for so many
Written : 11/23/95.08:34pm
On the way back from the Zoo today (yes, it was open ... the animals have
to eat every day, it seems), I bought a Grapevine from a guy on the corner
of Dunlap and the freeway. I only had 50 cents (I would have given him
more if I had some) and gave it to him and wished him "Happy
Thanksgiving." As he turned away, he mumbled under his breath "Yeah,
right." Then the light turned green and I drove off. And I felt sad.
Not guilty, but sad. Sad for all the people that don't have as much as I
do. And I started thinking socialist thoughts. And I mentally divided
the gross economic output of all the combined countries of the world and
divided that mind-boggling number by the even larger mind-boggling number
of people inhabiting this planet. And came to the conclusion that we
either need fewer people or a higher percentage of productive people.
There isn't enough money to go around. Period. So I do what I can. I
can live with that.
On page four of the paper I bought from this guy is a poem that reminded
me of welby in many ways ...
THE MASHED POTATO THEORY
Dip your hand into mashed potatoes
For everyone knows that mashed potatoes
Are like poor folks, or so this analogy goes
Now squeeze the potatoes with the power
Of a repressive government
Make them conform, restrict their freedom
Until their resistance is spent
Extruded from each crevice
Forced out of every crack
From restrictions made by government
The underground is back
There now seems to be more potatoes
On the out than on the in
And if the revolution starts you know
The hand is gonna win
Now for every potato in the pot
Add at least one gun
Mixing guns and mashed potatoes
Is only half the fun
Scoop up a great big hand full
With the barrel sticking out
Then squeeze until your hand hurts
And soon you will have no doubt
That government repression can't succeed
A take over can't be done
Freedom is what we're insuring
If the potatoes all have guns

Subject : Changes
Written : 11/25/95.04:47pm
If I could do my life over again
What would I change?
Would it be:
The years of abuse from my sister and mother
The years of being the lsughing stock at school
The abuse given to me by my first husband
The many men I had after that marriage died
The rape I recieved by someone I cared for
The depression and PMS I suffers during my second
marriage which caused it to fail
The one night stand which meant nothing to me
The third marriage to a man who didn't love me
or I him
What would I change?
Nothing!!
For each has taught me something:
The years of abuse has helped me feel for the children
who are unloved, those born and unborn
The abuse from my first husband has taught me how to feel
for other women whose husbands beat them
The man men and the one night stand taught me to be
understanding to those who are lonely
The rape taught me to feel the pain and anguish of those
who are being raped or were raped, whether they
are young or old
The depression and PMS taight me to feel sympathetic to
those who suffer from Mental Illness
The failure of my second marriage taught me to feel for
those who fail through no fault of their own
My third marriage taught me what it was like to marry for
love of money not for love as it should be
Besides because of the first and third marriage, the rape, and the one
night stand; I have four beautiful living children. And because of the
second marriage I have two beautiful children waiting for me in Heaven.
No, no matter how hard my life has been I have learned a great deal and
for that I would change nothing.
What would you change in your life if you could?

Sleepless hours and creepless nights and far aways
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Heaven knows and lord it shows when I'm away
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Same old show in a different town on another day
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Even though you're far away, you're on my mind
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
And I'd like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I've got my job to do, and I do it well,
Change my life) So I guess that's how it is.
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
On the road it's a heavy load, but I'll be by
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Pay the price, make a sacrifice, and still I'll try

Did someone say poetry??
I am a moron & this is my wife,
she's frosting a cake with a paper knife,
all that we got is American made,
it's a little bit cheezy but nicely displayed.
We don't get excited when it crumbles & breaks,
we just get on the phone & call up some FLAKES.
They rush on over & wreck it somemore,
& we are so dumb they're lining up at our door.
Well my toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon,
the plumer he says never flush a tampoon,
This great information cost half a weeks pay,
& the toilet blew up later on the next day.
There are millions & millions,they're coming to get ya,
they're protected by unions so don't let it upset ya.
We've excaped the conclution that it's probably God's will,
that civilization will fly to a stand still,
& these are the people who will make it all happen,
while your children are sleeping,
your puppy is crappen.
You might call em FLAKES or something else you might coin them,
we know your so dumb that you'll probably join em.
They're coming to get ya,

The questions are all asked.
But where are the answers?
You have to look to find them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you ever let someone close?
Do you let them get near?
Would you let a special spmeone,
Be part of your life?
Are you willing to try?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When looking through some else's eyes
Look at things the way that they do.
And when it's time to see through your eyes again,
Remember how the other eyes felt.
If you should want to walk in their shoes,
Follow their hearts and their thoughts.
And when it's time to walk in your shoes again,
Remember how the other shoes felt.
This will help you love other as yourself.

What I would like to do
To you if I could:
Lasso the moon and give it
To you on a silver platter.
Dive into the ocean
To find the biggest pearl.
Climb the highest mountain,
Swim the widest channel,
Just to be with you.
Sit at your feet,
Be at your beck and call;
There whenever you needed
Someone to talk to.
To praise you,
To be held by me;
I'll be there.
What I would like to do
To you if I could:
The sky is the limit,
And so your imagination.
Just say when and how long.

Wishing you were near
So I could hold you;
But,
You are so far away.
Wanting to call,
To hear your voice;
But,
Fighting the desire.
Wanting to gaze into your eyes
To engrave every feature in my mind;
But,
They are closed to me.
Wanting to make love to you
Day and night till you melt;
But,
Trying to pull away from temptation.
Wishing to drive you to
The brink of sexual madness;
But,
Bring you back ever so gently.
Wishing we were ofone mind
So I could feel what you feel;
But,
We are two not one.
Wishing you feltthe same way
I feel for you;
But,
I know it is not so.
Wishing you were near
So I could hold you;
But,
You are so far away.
Maybe it is out of fear
That it will not be.
Maybe I'm not what you want
Or even need.
What ever the reason be
I will benear if you need
A friend, lover, whatever;
All you have to do is call.

Remembrances
Awe struck night gives us the reason
For the Thought of Day's sweet treason
Anchored to a faithless sun,
Days don't last when night's begun
So seize the dawn, but keep the night
Wrapped in the glow of moonlit sight
When spirits dream and then embrace
Remembered Love from windless space
Protected by His Holy Thoughts
Angels bend us as we ought
Remember Love, from where we came
Logos within us, marks HIS name

Let me speak of loneliness
Let me tell you of pain
The burning desire
The darkness of the night
I know it well
For I am
Loneliness of the Deep
Deep within my prison
I long to see light
I long to feel sun
I long to hear music
Deep within my soul
I long to be touched
I long to near others
I long to be loved
But
Deep within my emptiness
I am complete alone
I am complete lost
I am complete in shadows
Deep within my cage
I am secure
I am safe
I am who I am
Let me speak of loneliness
Let me tell you of pain
The burning desire
The darkness of the night
I know it well
For I am
Loneliness of the Deep
Deep within my prison
I feel the whip
I love the chain
I desire the pain
Deep within my soul
I long for the hurt
I long for the shame
I long for the burns
Deep with my emptiness
I am fufilled with desire
I am fulfilled with alone
I am fufilled with bondage
Deep within my cage
I am who I am
I am safe
I am secure
Loneliness of the Deep
I am
I know it well
The darkness of the night
The burning desire
Let me tell you of pain
Let me speak of loneliness

Women
Soft as a pillow. They are now and will forever be. Go through the times...
The 80's, the 90's. But still will stay; gentle as a dove.
Don't touch too harshly,
don't look too piercing,
don't think too rough.
Just gently caress.
Move your big, wide hands over a woman's small wrists.
Just glide your rough fingers over a smooth set of breasts!
Tell me now; how does that feel?
Does it feel so smooth like a newborn baby?
Do you feel the need to protect this beautiful being from any harm?
Her smile, her frown, her little tiny waste that could only fit in the
palm of your one hand. Her long hair that brushes up against your
scruff-filled face. Her touch that could last only you a lifetime,
because she cares so much it kills her.
Her tiny feet that fit into your shoes plus two sizes. Or is it her calves
that shape the thoughts of your mind?
She will do most anything...
Anything to be the best woman. The woman who respects you as much as
respect can be returned to herself. She'll be like a red rose, and lavish
herself in love and care. Not to mention her motherhood abilities.
Women are here. And women result in love. As womens' being is about
finding and giving love that is far more unexplainable to any being
besides herself.
To anyone else she cannot explain. This need to give, this need to love,
this desire to be a woman.

Written : 12/02/95.06:43pm
There once was a man who lived in a cave.
His face was dirty; he needed a shave.
He had a dog whose names was Spot.
He had no bed, so he slept on a rock.
He was so poor, he had no food.
He had no clothes so he went around nude.
One day he went to dig for some gold.
Some people said he was foolish, some said bold.
Next thing you know, he strikes some oil.
He got so excited his blood began to boil.
Now he's living in a penthouse in Hollywood Hills.
He had so much money it would give you chills.
His dog, Spot, had his own room.
Every night he howled at the moon.
In less than a month all his money was spent.
So, back to the cave with his dog, Spot, he went.

We meet, and so we touch each other.
But not I you; not you me.
Only our gawky, awkward words,
Jarring, sparring one against another.
E-mail.
Intersection.
Road closed to true traffic.
"Five Years Late"
Standing at the door,
Faded roses in his hand,
His hair and shoes a dusty gray,
He hears a tune, but can't come close
To remembering the words.
(Something about love, he suspects,
One of the old standards.)
He knocks, and knocks again,
Awaiting an answer,
A word, a touch, a soft caress,
Anything.
But he's five years late,
The house is empty,
And she never lived there anyway.

another one of my high-school compositions....enjoy!
BAD BOY
There was a boy
He had a toy
He played with it
But it didnt fit
So he tried to smash
And throw it in the trash
But it came back
And it started to hack
Just like a smoker
So he said he'd choke her
He killed the toy
That bad little boy
The toy got buried
And the boy got married
He killed his wife
By taking her life
He told her "Sorry honey,
"But I need the money."
In killing her he did not fail
But that's not why he's in jail
He was sent to prison
'Cause he was caught whizzin'
On a police car
He ran but didnt get far
They caught him and sent him here
But dont worry, he'll be out in another year
Then he will kill again.

Then I realized they start today.
Oh, how I long for yesterday.
Suddenly,
I no longer have the grade of "B".
Now it's looking closer to a "C".
Oh, finals came so suddenly.
I can
cram, although I can blow
it off today.
Come to-
morrow morn, I'll get on
my knees and pray...
Yesterday,
This was such an easy tune to play.
Now my chops are all but gone away,
My jury's a half-hour away.
What I
have to show
I don't know,
the prof won't say.
I'll spell
something wrong, or I'll bomb..

Thought of graduating come this May.
Now it looks as though I'm here to stay,
oh, how I long for Yesterday.

These I see within the sky.
Thunder roaring,
Sounding like the lion.
Children crying,
Because ot fright.
Imagination runs wild,
Monsters lurking in every corner.
These I hear within the night.
Morning comes:
Cotton Candy, elephants,
Airplanes soaring high.
Dragons, ships.
Puppy chasing kites.
Fluffy bunnies, butterflies,
Teddy bears being hugged.
These I see within the sky.
Thunder quiet,
No more lions.
Children playing,
Singing songs off key.
Monsters have
Been destoryed.
These I hear the morning after.

Never give her the one for her passion

Goils!
What's worse than shingles,
More painful than boils?
You guys know what I'm saying;
I'm talking about goils!
You can't live without them
No matter your toils;
And you can't live with them;
There's nothing like goils!
What's worse than shingles,

You guys know what I'm saying;

They say that sex
Is like sowing in soils,
But the ground I like best
Is the sweet loamin' goils!
What's worse than shingles,
More painful than boils
You guys know what I'm saying;
I'm talking about goils!
Those long lovely tresses
All settled in coils
Make me slaver and drool
Over sweet little goils!
What's worse than shingles,
More painful than boils?
You guys know what I'm saying;
I'm talking about goils!
Like the ocean at sea,
The tidal swell roils.
And the sweet fishy smell
Reminds me of goils!
What's worse than shingles,
More painful than boils?
You guys know what I'm saying;
I'm talking about goils!
Wherever I go,
I have plenty of foils,
And I always need them
Wherever there's goils!

I doubt very seriously anyone's heard this one, it's a song my dad learned
in the navy durring WWII while on guard duty. The only time he does it is
a good indication of intoxication. It's said real fast, like an
auctioneer. Hope it intertains...
*************************************************************************
*******************The Monkey, Lion, & the Elephant**********************
********************************
The monkey told the lion
One bright sunny day
There's a big bad elephant
Down your way.
Now you and him
Can never be friends
Because when you two meet
There's going to be some bends.
And another thing my friend
I hate to say
He talks about your poor old mother
In one hell of a way.
Now I know you're rough and tough
And king of them all.
But the bigger they come
The harder they fall.
So take my advise and
Stay out of that elephants sight
Or when you two meet
There'll be one hell of a fight.
Now the monkey went through the jungle
Just as stiff as a breeze
Knocking down coconuts, treetops
And giraffe to the knees.
He spied Mr. elephant up under a tree.
He said come out of there
You big son of a bitch
Its going to be you and me.
The elephant looked up
Out of the corner of his eye
And said go on chicken shit
Pick on somebody you own size.
Well the lion stepped back
And let out a roar
His tail lashed back
Like a four by four
He lead with a right
That was lightening fast
But that elephant just side stepped
And knocked him flat on his hairy ass
It broke his jaw bone
And messed up his face
Knocked all his teeth out
And his ass out of place.
Now this fight went on
for a night and a day
And it's still a mystery to me
How that lion got away.
But when he did
More dead than alive
That's when the monkey
Started his jive.
He'd been setting up
In a tree all day
Laughing
In the most signifying way.
He said well Mr. lion
I see you caught particular hell
You had your ass beat
To a fare-you-well
When you went off
This jungle fairly rung.
Here you come back
Just damned near hung.
You remember when me and my girl
Used to try and get a little bit
And you'd come running through the jungle
With all that old roaring shit
Your face is all black
And your ass is all blue
I can see right know
It don't mean shit to you
You got more scratches on your ass
Than a whore with the itch
And you call yourself the king of the beasts
Now ain't you a bitch.
I can see right now
like I could never see before
You mess with me,
I'll get you screwed up some more
So go on
Get out from under this tree
Before I hang out over your hairy face
And pee.
Well the monkey got frantic
He started jumping up and down
His feet missed the limb
His ass hit the ground.
Like a bolt of lighting
And a streak of white heat
That lion was on the monkey's ass
With all four feet.
Well the monkey looked up
With tears in his eyes
He said Mr. Lion
I apologize.
The Lion said yea, that"s some shit
You telling all them lies about my mother
You had us out there
Beating hell out of one another.
There ain't no use in your crying
I'm putting and end to your signifying
So he led with a right to the monkeys ear
And ended that monkeys signifying career.

Resentment is a fire closed in a glass jar
wanting to burn yet unable
it's a feeling in the pit of each stomach
rising with every breath
growing more intense with every inch of inclination
it is a lion stalking a prey which is
it's own predator

In this black void called my life
there are few sparks of light
some weak, some strong
some influencing my life greatly
some i must experience only to learn a lesson from
but others will always stay in my heart
and those who gather in my heart
will continue to add to the light
until my life is no longer a black void

sometimes as things change around us,
we don't realize that we change with them.
As I watch every thing grow,
I grow as well.
As the things we care about die,
we die with them
not completely, but piece by piece we die.
The world is constantly changing,
because the people in it are constantly changing.
Peace is in the air,
once again.
Love is inevitable,
it can't be avoided.
Misinterpreted,
of course.
But in the end,
you will find it.
But understand it,
maybe.
Enjoy it,
possibly.
Love it,
who knows.
Fear it,
of course.
Like it,
if you wanna.
Change with it,
of course.
Die with it,
only if it isn't true.
IS IT TRUE ONLY YOU KNOW FOR SURE!!!

I am not what they want,
I am not what they thought,,
I am not like them,
I am not what they see,
Then what am I?
I don't look like them,
I don't do what they do,
I don't act like they want,
I don't feel what they want,
Then what do I do?
I can see,
I can hear,
I can feel,
I can hope and dream,
But I can't be like them.
I am a person,
I have a mind,
I have a body,
I have a heart and blood,
But do I have a soul?
Each night and day,
I dream of another world,
A world,
where I am free,
A place I can be me,
But what am I?
Am I a person?
Am I a dream?
Am I a nightmare?
Am I a hope by few,
and a disaster by others?
Am I an animal?
What am I?
Can you answer,
Can you save me?
Can you pretend to like me,
to love me?
Can you help me see,
Help me to see what I am?
Can you free me?
From this world of pain?
Can you?
Or will I stay,
If only for a day,
A dream,
Within a nightmare.

Common Threads
*inspired by writings of Native American Indians*
A thousand cultures move,
spinning and reeling
like a whirlwind.
High above the ground,
the picture is surreal.
Blurs of what were once distinct
images are now trodden memories, lost
in years of confusion, misunderstanding, and fear.
Push within the swirling air
to the eye of the tempest
and hope to find
something
that ties them together.
For we all have common threads
under the great expanse of stars
when we dance.
--February 1995
Last Look
A glance over my shoulder
left the odor of athletics,
stale and chalky,
reverberating in my nose,
in time with the recoil of the springboard.
The trampoline gave flight
to a body without identification.
Another person saved by the black belt
suspended from the ceiling.
Coach's voice snapped out names
with a sound like "whip-crack!"
that seared the insides
with fear and respect.
The beams smacked the feet
of girls landing their fears
of height and narrow spaces
as they maneuvered
around balancing.
The bars groaned in the corner,
creaking with the bending
caused by the forces of giant
swings, handstands, and release moves.
All the equipment, resilient
to any human, the source
of all fear, accomplishment, injury,
and safety, executed
its awesome feats of motionless performance.
I turned my head away
and walked out the door,
tears still blurring my vision
and the National Academy
of Artistic Gymnastics sweatshirt
handing needlessly from my body,
not unlike the girl on the spotting belt,
still hanging on
to some hope of completion
as she dangled her obvious defeat from the ceiling.
--November 1994
Thanks for reading!!

Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 19:15:16 GMT
Organization: The Dungeon BBS
Message-ID: <4d3nqa$eh0@cdc2.cdc.net>
Inspired by an original idea from Dungeon Master.
                         Mind Control
               The Confessions of a Telekinetic
                           Chapter 1
Quiet and empty.
    There are few rewards to working the midnight shift of a
dead end job but one of those few is finding quiet and empty
diners for a two a.m. meal. It's rare when my privacy is
intruded upon and maybe I've been lucky but the few who have
intruded have always been interesting conversationalists.
    My watch blinked 2:58 a.m. at me. The taste of strong
coffee and the sharp taste of my cigarette helped to waken me for
the boring drive home that awaited me when I noticed a customer
enter the diner, glance around and select a chair at the counter
two places down from me. Whoever he was he seemed in pretty
rough shape; unshaven, haggard, obviously over-tired in his
rumpled but fairly expensive-looking overcoat.
    After he sat and ran a slow hand through his hair, this
stranger looked over in my direction and asked me a question.
    "Could I bum a smoke off you?"
    I opened my pack and shook one of the tobacco-filled
cylinders free for him which he freed with a pair of fingers.
Leaning close to inhale flame from my lighter through his
cigarette I could see his startling green eyes were rimmed with
red. I had a feeling that this fellow hadn't slept in some time.
    The waitress came out from the kitchen where she had been
passing time talking with the cook, the name "Lisa" emblazoned in
red tape was pasted to her name badge. Surreptitiously, I stole
a glance at her figure which was trim and well formed under her
waitress outfit as she took the order of our new intruder. I
wondered, as I always do upon seeing an attractive woman, just
what kind of a lover she would be in bed. She looked to be about
four years older than me, I'd say about 32 years old. I stared
at her provocatively wiggling ass as she retreated to the kitchen
to bring the stranger the black coffee he had ordered.
    "Forget it," the stranger stage whispered to me as soon as
Lisa had disappeared behind the swinging door. "She'll be in a
hurry to get home to see her daughter when she's done with her
shift."
    Right then Lisa stepped in to deliver the coffee before
vanishing again into the kitchen.
    "How in the world would you know?" I asked, puzzlement
crawling all over my face. "Do you know her?"
    "No, I don't know her . . . let's just say I read minds and
leave it at that, okay?"Â He chuckled as he spoke but it was a
laugh devoid of humor, a sound with a sad, hollow ring to it and
when he finished he took his coffee and moved to a table in a
corner to sip his hot drink in silence.
    When Lisa brought me my check I quietly asked, "Do you know
that guy?"
    "Him?" She indicated the only other occupant of the diner
with a nod of her head, her voice lowered to match my own
conspiratorial whisper. "Nah, never seen him before. Why?"
    "Do you have a daughter?"
    She smiled and seemed a little wary but answered, "Sure.
How do you know about Debbie?"
    "Oh, that guy said you had a kid and I told him 'No way,
she's too young to have a kid,' that's all," I explained with the
quickest, non-offensive lie I could conjure. Lisa smiled and
asked if I wanted anything else, so I ordered another couple of
coffees, one for myself and one for the stranger. While Lisa
moved off to fill the order, I slid into the booth opposite the
intriguing newcomer.
    "Okay," I said. "How did you know about her daughter?"
    "I told you," he replied with a secretive smile. "I read
minds. I read hers and I read yours. Do you want me to lower
myself to cheap carnival tricks to convince you? Here, your name
is . . . David and you're . . . twenty eight years old, unmarried
and you think I'm a crock."
    "That is a good carnival trick but a trick is all it can be,
no one can read minds."
    "Oh, there's a lot more to it than reading minds. Watch
Lisa there when she comes over with our coffee. Ever see a
waitress orgasm while delivering coffee?"
    A look of intense concentration settled on my companion's
face and I looked over my shoulder to watch Lisa. As she
approached our table she started to wobble a bit and she suddenly
looked flushed. She shakily set our coffee cups down, spilling
the contents before quickly turning her back to us and wrapping
her arms around her waist. I watched her as she bit her lower
lip, clamped her legs together and her body shivered as an almost
inaudible moan escaped her throat. She took a moment to collect
herself before she unsteadily disappeared once again behind the
safety of the kitchen door.
    I realized that I had been holding my breath and gasped.
    "Holy shit!" I turned to look at this human enigma and
found him to be nodding off, almost asleep. "Hey! Buddy!" I
called in a voice just above a harsh murmur. The stranger wiped
his eyes with the backs of his hands and yawned.
    "Takes a lot out of you," he said in a groggy voice. "Man,
I've gotta get some sleep."Â He arose from the table and asked
"Do you know where there's a hotel arou- . . . ?"Â I saw him
start to crumple and quickly moved out to catch him before he
fell. He was out on his feet and I had a decision to make.
    It seems my quiet and emptiness had been disturbed.
                         Mind Control
               The Confessions of a Telekinetic
                           Chapter 2
    His eyes opened with a snap at 5:05 a.m. sharp.
    "Where the hell am I?"
    "My place. It would have been a little awkward checking you
into a hotel with you unconscious."
    "How long have I been here?"
    "A little less than two hours."
    "I gotta go," he said as he pushed himself slowly up from my
couch. "Thanks for the help." I chuckled quietly to myself. It
didn't look like he was going anywhere too soon.
    "Why are you laughing?"
    "What, have you got a deadline or something?"
    "No. No. Just keeping ahead of someone, that's all."
    "Look, no one's going to find you here. You look wiped.
You look like you could use a rest . . . and besides . . . I want
to hear your story. That was some show you put on with the
waitress."
    "But you're not quite sure you believe it yet, right?"
Without waiting for an answer he sat back on my couch. "What the
hell. I've been dying to tell someone, anyone, about what's
happened anyway.
    "You're not going to believe any of this but it'll do me
some good to lay it out. You got any coffee?"
    We wound up holding steaming hot foam plastic coffee cup
from a street vender, cupping them in our hands for warmth,
sitting on a bench in the park as the sun came up. He refused t
go back to the diner or to the apartment. He wouldn't go back to
someplace he'd already been, especially if he'd demonstrated his
'ability' there.
    "Don't you want to get your car back?" I asked.
    "Any car is 'my' car. I can pick any lock," he looked at me
through slit eyes and the steam of his coffee. "Funny."
    "What?"
    "I can't read you anymore," he replied and shifted his gaze
to the street just past the trees lining the edge of the park.
"I couldn't read you too well in the first place and now I can't
read you at all. You're a natural."
    I tucked what he had said away for thought later.
    "You wanted someone to tell your story too?" I prompted.
    "Yeah," he said with a sigh. "Yeah, but it's crazy. Let me
tell it and you just think of it as a nice piece of fiction.
    "My name is Kent.
    "I don't know if you know anything about the layout of the
brain. It's a strange organ; Meat that Thinks. All these little
sections that do separate tasks and are all linked together, kind
of like a computer network except it's all biological. Any way,
one side of the brain controls one side of the body, one section
processes what you hear, another what you see, another makes your
heart beat, yadda, yadda, yadda.
    "A couple of these sections work together to make your
libido work, you know? Yeah, well, there's this gland that dies
in just about everyone when they get old. It's called the Pineal
Gland. In the old days they used to call it the 'Third Eye' and
it turns out they knew what they were talking about.
    "It winds up that this same area is what gives some people
different talents. Some people really do have 'flashes' where
they can foretell the future, read the backs of playing cards or
move things with their minds. At the natural level I call it a
'Carnival Trick,' others call it ESP or Telekinesis, there are
lots of names for it.
    "If you have The Talent, you usually only get one or the
other. I'm lucky," he snorted in derision. "I've got both and
with me it works best on women."
    Kent's voice started to drift as if something else had his
attention. I looked up at his face and saw that he was watching
something. I turned to see what he was looking at and saw a
woman who lived in one of the apartments in my building. She was
the new hot little blond nurse who had moved in three weeks ag
and who worked during the day down at the hospital. She was
carrying a backpack over one shoulder and only a flash of white
collar showed of her uniform from beneath her long, black jacket.
    "Here, I'll show you." Kent's features settled into a look
of concentration as he stared at the blond. She slowed her brisk
pace as a dreamy look shaped her face and a small smile touched
her lips.
    "Her name is Karen. I've found some of her most erotic
memories," Kent whispered, distracted. "She's remembering them
now. She's been a hell cat . . . sensual little vixen . . ." I
wondered what he was seeing in her mind.
    "Now to brush the pleasure center of her brain," he murmured
and I saw Karen stop just inside the entrance to the park. Her
smile grew and her eyes closed.
    "This is just mind stuff," continued Kent. "Memories,
feelings, sights and sounds stored in her brain. All you have to
do is hunt them down and replay them. Uh, it's a telepathy of
sorts. Now for the next step, it's time for a little
telekinesis. I'm going to touch her with my mind."
    "What are you talking about?" I didn't understand.
    "I'm going to actually touch her from a distance. I can
feel her . . . touch her thighs gently . . . her skin is soft."
    "Wait a minute," I wasn't sure I had heard him correctly.
"You can feel her from here? Like with your fingers?"
    "Yeah . . . it's just like having another hand . . . I'm
barely touching her between her legs . . . I'm brushing her
labial lips . . . they're slick . . ."
    I saw Karen drop her backpack to the ground and her hands
fluttered to her stomach to press against her coat.
    "I've got to get closer," he said slowly rising from the
bench, his coffee cup tumbling from his hand, spilling into the
grass. With an unsteady gait, Kent began to walk forward toward
Karen. I got up and followed.
    "I've found her clit . . . ah . . . yes . . . she's so wet.
Now . . . to find her deepest fantasy . . ."Â He trailed off and
stopped moving for a moment. Karen's hands began to slide up and
down her torso, her fingers pressing into her through the layers
of clothing and her mouth opened as if for a kiss. I could see,
even from a distance, her pearly-white teeth and her delicate,
pink tongue that traveled around her lips, wetting them and her
hands slid up her body to hold her own breasts.
    "Got it . . . " Kent breathed hoarsely. "Little slut . . .
she dreams of . . . of getting . . . getting fucked by three guy
. . . at once . . . filling her . . ."Â He raised a trembling
hand to his brow. "I can do that for her . . . I'll fill her
cunt first . . . "Â I watched as Karen's hands moved from her
chest to between her legs. She pulled her coat out of the way
then pulled up her white skirt to expose her white stockings and
panties which she covered with her hands.
    "Now . . . now a little something up her ass . . . I think."
    Karen's eyes fluttered open for a moment only and I watched
as her breathing became harsh. I could hear her begin to groan,
a soft little sound like the mew of a kitten.
    "Here now . . . it's time . . . it's time for a taste of
cock . . . I've found a memory . . . it's strong, real strong.
Now to . . . to turn it on . . ."
    Karen's lips circled to form an "O" and I could see her
tongue working inside her mouth, sliding up and down, curled as
if around an invisible dick. She dragged her hands up her body,
letting her skirt and coat fall back into place until her fingers
wrapped themselves around the covered hemispheres of her breasts
again. Her body arched as her fingers clutched convulsively at
her breasts. Slowly she sank to her knees before she collapsing
backwards in the middle of the walkway.
    "Now . . . the, the . . . the tough part . . . she's feeling
me . . . feeling me in every hole . . . and I've got her fantasy
rolling strong as life in her head . . . now to turn on . . .
that pleasure spot . . . again . . ."
    Karen's legs pumped her pelvis into the air, bumping and
grinding into an invisible trio of partners. Strangled sounds
came gasping from her throat.
    "Uh, OH! Oh Gaw . . . uh, oh Gaw!" Words must have been
difficult for her to form around the unseen prick in her mouth.
    "Okay . . . got it," said Kent. "Now to . . . rub that, rub
that . . . clit . . . a little more . . ."
    Karen thrashed on the ground, her blond hair whipped about
her head as her body spasmed and writhed.
    "Now . . . now to let her . . . let her cum."
    Karen bucked and froze, her body arched into the air as a
stifled cry escaped her.
    "Oh-my-god, oh-my-god, ohmygod ohmygod ohmyGOD ohmyGOD
ohMYGOD ohMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH
MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD!"
And with that she collapsed in a motionless heap on the ground.
    "Jesus," I declared.
    "Well, that was interesting," Kent said as he moved away
from the woman he had just mentally raped. "Is there another
diner near here? I'm famished."
                         Mind Control
               The Confessions of a Telekinetic
                           Chapter 3
    Kent dug into his Western Omelet with gusto, drowned his
fries in catsup and shoveled them down his gullet as if there
were no tomorrow then washed it all down with three cups of
coffee mixed with generous amounts of cream and sugar.
    "All that effort takes a lot out of me," he said between
bites as he waved to the waitress and signalled for her to bring
him another plate and started in on his toast.
    "Were you born like this? With this, this talent?" I
asked.
    "Nope," Kent snorted and put down his toast. "I mean I used
to be able to guess pretty well at what someone was thinking.
Hardly anything more than intuitive thinking, lucky guesses, that
sort of thing. I could tell when people liked me and I had a
fair idea about when someone was lying but that was it. I never
gave it any serious thought.
    "Then there was this study going on at my college campus a
few years back. The girl I was going with loved doing Tarot Card
Readings and she dragged me along. A couple of professors and
some suit-types were doing these tests to rank ESP strength and
Carol wanted to see if she had any real talent. Anyway, while I
was sitting there, watching her answer all these questions and
Carol kept begging me to take the same tests, like if we both
were 'Espers' we could go into business or something. I guess
she thought it would be deep for us to both have Psi talent.
    "The test they sat me down at first was this table that
looked like a white ping-pong table with a small wall instead of
a net. On the other side of the table, hidden by the wall, some
egghead was turning cards over one at a time and then he would
ask me what pictures were on the cards. Well, I couldn't tell
anything about the cards but when I looked at this guy with his
pinched face I could tell that he himself thought that all this
ESP stuff was a crock of shit but I could also kind of get a feel
coming from him about the cards he was holding. There were four
different symbols on the cards; circle, square, triangle and
three wavy lines. One symbol per card and I guessed at what HE
was seeing on the cards.
    "I got three out of five most of the time and even got four
out of five once! That's way beyond what random chance allows
for and these guys began to take an interest in me.
    "Carol was so pissed," Kent smiled inwardly at the memory.
"See, she was completely average on each and every test and we
went there for her, you know. Well, these egg-heads are all
forgetting that she exists and they start giving me other tests.
'Can you move this penny without touching it?'Â 'What color am I
thinking of?' and shit like that.
    "Anyway, even though I couldn't make anything move by
thinking at it, I scored well on the ESP stuff and they asked if
they could do an experiment on me. It seems there were a bunch
of us from around the country that had these 'powers' and they
wanted to try different things on each of us, 'harmless things'
they said, to try and make us even better 'Espers.'"
    "Esspurz?" I asked.
    "Ee-ess-pee-err's," explained Kent. "People with ESP
powers.
    "Now, what they did," he continued. "Was to give me these
shots that were supposed to increase the secretions made by my
pineal gland. Every week I would report to this lady-doctor-
chick who made me roll up my sleeve and then she'd stick me with
a needle and give me my injection.
    "I kept going even though Carol at the time had totally
given up on her 'talents' and tried to laugh at me being stuck by
all these brainy types. Pretty soon she stopped pestering me and
she started chasing after some football captain or something. I
guess I really kept going because of the woman who was giving me
the shots. I mean I was eighteen and she was maybe thirty but
behind her prim glasses and serious ponytail hair she was a
rather pretty woman. Every time she was sticking me with that
damned needle I was thinking about sticking her with my cock.
    "One day after about two months of injections I noticed that
she was getting red as a beat while she was sitting across from
me asking her usual questions. 'Do you feel any different this
week?'Â 'Have you felt nauseous?'Â 'Any itching or dizziness?'
That kind of crap. And all the while I'm mouthing the standard
answers without really thinking about them and my mind is making
this mental picture of her naked and me running my hands all over
her tits and belly and the image was so vivid in my mind that I
could actually almost feel it.
    "Now, she's turning red and getting all flushed but I didn't
connect that with what I was thinking about so I kept going. In
my mind I ran my hands over her belly and thighs getting my
fingers entangled in her pubic hair and caressing her cunt. I
suppose I was rubbing my fingers together subconsciously when
everything changed. It was like someone flipping a switch on in
my head. Suddenly I could feel her getting wet, I could feel it
on my fingers, I could taste it with my tongue. I heard her
thoughts in my ears, like she was talking to me real low and she
was saying, 'Christ it's hot in here!'Â But her mouth never
moved! She had stopped talking and was breathing hard with her
eyes all glazed over."
    Kent stopped and sat up straight as the waitress brought him
his second omelet. When she left, he started forking eggs into
his mouth and talking around the bites.
    "I could feel her nipples get hard and I imagined I was
pinching them. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw her
nipples get thick and poke out. I could see them sticking out
through her clothes, her bra, blouse and lab jacket!
    "Next I thought about what her cunt must look like and how
it would feel to slip a hand between her legs and slide a finger
into her twat and I tell you I could really feel it, just as if I
was doing it with my hands! I could feel how wet she was, I
could feel a finger sink into her twat between her cunt-lips and
I could feel that little clit of hers get thick and poke out,
just like her nipples. I thought what it would be like to pinch
and fondle it. I thought what it would feel like to lick her
cunt and I found I could taste the sharp tang of her juice just
as if I had really licked her crack. I just kept thinking about
licking her clit and marveling at the sharp taste in my mouth
when my lady doctor began to grunt and shake.
    "She was having an ORGASM! I had mentally eaten her out
from across a table!
    "Well, when I saw that I was so shocked that I stopped. I
just let her go and I saw her snap back to reality so fast you'd
have thought you could hear a door slam. She stood up and left
and that was the end of that day's session.
    "I never did anything like that again at the lab because
suddenly they were more than interested in me. They wanted to
poke and pry me and take samples and I could read in their minds
that I would become little more than a test subject for them for
the rest of their lives. So I practiced on the outside. I found
that I could listen in on what people were thinking and if I
concentrated real hard I could remember things from their past.
It was like reading a book from a distance with the covers
closed. It was hard but I could do it. I could put a suggestion
in someone's mind, kind of like giving someone a nudge but no
more than that. I couldn't make people do things that they
wouldn't do anyway. Especially men. With women I had more luck.
    "It took some time but I was able to move things with my
mind too. I hate to admit it but almost everything I did was
sexually motivated. I caressed women's breasts from a distance
and watched them go nuts when there was no one around or slap the
nearest guy because they thought the nearest guy had reached out
and molested them. I could snap their bras open or I would touch
their pussies under their clothes.
    "I started doing less well on purpose with the ESP tests
until I gave myself an average rating. I thought I kept it up
for long enough but I must not have. I quit going one day and
got only a couple of phone calls asking me to come back but I
didn't need the tiny amount of money that they paid, a couple of
bucks an hour, so I told the voice on the phone 'Thanks but no
thanks.'
    "Anyway . . . that's when I noticed that people were
following me."
    Kent stopped talking, wolfed down the last bit of his second
omelet and took out a wad of rolled bills to pay for breakfast.
We made our way outside where Kent told me he wanted to head for
the nearest bus stop or train platform. I led him for the train
depot. It would take about ten minutes to walk to.
    "Like I was saying, I saw people following me no matter
where I went. At first I thought I was imagining things but I
got close enough once to reach into his mind. He was keeping an
eye on me . . . and it was fuzzy but I was pretty sure that he
was a government agent.
    "That scared the hell out of me," Kent said as we walked
along the street. He kept glancing furtively over his shoulder
as he went, his breath hot from the coffee made steaming trails
when he spoke.
    "That's when I cut out. I've been running for a couple of
years now. They've made me so miserable that I wish I could get
rid of this 'talent' altogether!"
    I stopped and stared at him.
    "You're kidding!" I nearly shouted then hastily lowered my
voice to continue. "You've got the greatest mental talent ever
known! I would KILL to have a power like that!"
    Kent snorted and looked at me from beneath his knitted brows
with some hard emotion evident in his eyes.
    "Just for such a stupid remark," he said. "I SHOULD give
you the ability. It would be easy. You've got the natural
talent. I felt you grow 'walls' around your mind. I can't read
you anymore. Why should I be the only one that's hunted like a
dog?"
    Kent grabbed me by the shoulders and stared into my head. I
felt something crawling around inside my skull and realized that
he was DOING something to me. It felt like an army of ants
marching over my brain. For a moment I felt a flaring bright
pain exploding behind my eyes and then nothing, the pain was
gone.
    Our minds were connected and I could hear every thought in
Kent's brain. Quickly I moved through his memories and found all
his ESP related experiences. I . . . drained them, somehow
sucked them from his mind into my own. When I had pulled all the
knowledge from his head I searched what I had just learned and
found what I wanted.
    There it was, between both hemispheres of his brain. A
small gland. It was in the back . . . posterior as his memories
labeled it. It was tiny, like a small pea. I imagined pinching
it between two fingers . . .
    I found that our stances had switched, I was gripping his
slack shoulders and staring into his head, so I let him go. Kent
stared at me blankly for a moment before he turned and walked
away with a stiff, mechanical gait. I relaxed and slumped
against the wall . . . it had taken a lot out of me.
    It took all the strength I had left to shuffle back to my
apartment and plunge fully clothed into bed. I slept almost
immediately.
                         Mind Control
               The Confessions of a Telekinetic
                           Chapter 4
    Once again the diner was quiet and empty save for my self,
the cook and Lisa, the attractive 32 year old waitress with a
daughter named Debbie. I had been practicing "lifting" memories
and sifting through a person's brain for useful information all
day at work. I think I was getting the hang of it fairly
quickly.
    I was waiting for someone.
    The someone came in about twenty minutes after I had
arrived. I sat and sipped my coffee and reached into his mind as
quietly and as stealthily as I could. Yes, he was a government
agent. He had seen Kent and me the other night and he was going
to tail me to find Kent again.
    It took a little fixing. A gentle push here, a nudge there
and Agent Beaumont conveniently forgot about my existence and
suddenly suffered the impulse to leave the building and continue
his search for Kent elsewhere. Beaumont got up and quickly left
the building without so much as ordering a meal.
    I studied the cup of coffee between my hands and waited for
a few minutes before daring to try my experiment.
    'What the hell,' I thought to myself and I reached out and
gently convinced the cook (whose name I instantly learned was
Alex) that he was dog-tired and he would just go sit in the back
and take a nice nap. Another nudge and Lisa put down the
magazine she was reading and looked as if she were deep in
thought. A dreamy look touched her face and she crossed to the
front door which she locked. With a careless flip of her wrist,
Lisa turn off the roadside sign and most of the lights in the
diner except for the lights near me.
    She crossed my way through the dark, empty diner and the
sway of her hips grew with each step. I watched as she
delicately placed the fingers of one hand over her heart, between
her voluptuous breasts as if making sure that her heart would not
break free from her chest. The fingers of her other hand slowly
drew a line up the outside of her thigh to rest on her hip.
    By the time she stood next to me I knew that she was aflame
with a desire stronger than she had ever felt before. With a
cautious touch, I wiped the inhibitions from her mind. Her
natural caution was still in place and that would take a little
more effort to suppress so I waited and stoked her desire ever
higher without affecting anything else about her. I could smell
her musky desire. I heard her shift from foot to foot nervously
as her caution kept her from taking the next step that her
building lust demanded she take. A tiny nudge was all that it
took to push her lust beyond the restraint of her natural
caution.
    Her hand reached out and touched my arm to gain my
attention. I turned and looked at Lisa expectantly.
    "Excuse me," she said with a voice laden with uncertainty.
"Would you . . . would you please . . . "Â She fiddled with the
top button of her waitress dress uniform. "Would you please look
at my . . . breasts?"
    I felt myself grow hard with desire.
    "Titties," I said.
    "Would you please look at my titties?" And this time she
smiled. I nodded and Lisa unbuttoned the top of her dress,
opening it to reveal the twin swells of her exquisite breasts.
    "They're beautiful," I told her with great conviction.
    Lisa moved between me and the counter, gracefully lifting
one leg over my lap like a dancer to straddle my lap.
    "Would you please look at my pussy?"
    I smiled warmly and Lisa pushed herself up to sit on the
counter in front of me where she pulled up her dress showing her
lovely legs and the white cotton of her panties. Slowly she drew
down the panties to expose her delightfully fleecy cunt. With
the panties removed, Lisa rocked backwards and unfolded her legs
to bare her sex for my inspection.
    "Divine," I told her. I could see her labial lips were
parted to disclose her glittering clitoris both of which sparkled
with the moistness of her excitement.
    "Touch me," she pleaded in a husky voice as she used her
hands to pull her labia open wide unveiling her inner secrets.
Her vaginal hole exhibited as wet a shine as her drenched lips
and clit.
    I timed the first burst of pleasure to her mind to coincide
with the moment that I touched her tender orifice with my finger.
I heard her gasp with exhilaration. I slowly pushed my finger
into her gaping, slippery hole and marveled at her wetness and
relished the near painful swelling of my stiffening cock, trapped
inside my pants. I took my time exploring her vaginal cavity,
pushing and probing, coating my blunt finger with her juices,
feeling her tender flesh.
    The whole of her attention was centered upon my probing
digit as it moved in and out of her wanton slit. She stared,
enthralled as I invaded her most sacrosanct flesh. I moved my
thumb to rub against her sensitive, swollen clitoris as my finger
continued to explore her inner cavity. I placed another burst of
pleasure directly into her brain which brought her to the brink
of orgasm. Her breathing grew harsh and ragged as tiny beads of
sweat beaded on her upper lip. I placed one more suggestion in
her mind.
    "Fuck me," Lisa implored. "Please, please fuck me!"
    "Say 'Fuck my hole,'" I commanded.
    "Fuck my hole," she exhaled.
    "Say 'Fuck my slutty hole.'"
    "Fuck my SLUTTY hole!"
    I smiled, enjoying watching her plead as her body quivered,
wanting release from the unbearable sexual tension.
    "Beg for it. Beg for me to fuck your twat."
    "Oh, PLEASE fuck my twat! Please, PLEASE fuck my SLUTTY
TWAT! I NEED you IN me! I want you in my HUNGRY HOLE!"
    I smiled wider. It was more fun than I had imagined.
    "That's good. That's very good. Now, tell me you're a
whore."
    She groaned with wanting, the guttural sound an appeal in
itself. She would do or say anything now to quench the fire
burning between her legs and in her breasts. Her tits quivered
as she pleaded and pulled her legs apart with her hands.
    "I'm a WHORE! I'm YOUR slutty, fucking WHORE! Please,
please, PLEASE fuck your SLUTTY, GODDAMNED WHORE-BITCH!"
    I leaned into her and pushed the crotch of my pants into her
furry pelt. Her hands flew to open my belt and unbutton my
trousers. Quickly she pushed my shorts down just far enough to
free my iron-hard cock which she guided with trembling fingers to
her hot and hungry hole.
    She was swimming with fluid, her vaginal orifice overflowing
with love juice. Slipping into her frictionless, satiny gash was
a blissful delight. I hit her brain with a flood of pleasurable
feelings as I began to thrust into her with intense eagerness. I
felt her cum, the muscles of her vagina rippling with immoral
pleasure around my hard, hot shaft.
    There on the counter where she had served hundreds of blue
plate specials she felt her body shudder with orgasm after orgasm
while I pummelled her with my cock, beating into her with a wild
fury. I kept her orgasming with my mind until I felt my own body
stiffen and tremble as I shudderingly released an orgastic
torrent of sperm into her quivering love-nest.
    We stayed like that, enmeshed, intertwined with my cock
inside her gloriously hot flesh until I grew small and slipped
out of her.
    I kept all feelings of guilt out of her mind and suffused
her with a feeling of warmth and joy. It wasn't hard, she was
feeling happier than she had ever felt before in her life as it
was.
    I tucked myself back into my pants and she slipped back into
her panties before we each took a cigarette from my pack and
smoked together in silence, touching each other shyly from time
to time, enjoying the quiet experience of each other's company.
    I wondered to myself just how I was going to like being a
rich and happy man. Silly question, really.
    Kent had been afraid of his power and saw it as something to
hide from which is why he ran. I had pointed the agent in his
direction but Kent didn't have to worry. Even now the tiny gland
in his brain that gave him his special powers was calcifying -
turning to stone as it normally did in people which is (I
suppose) why so few have the Power. They could scan him and
observe him until the sun exploded and they would never find
anything. Kent's powers were truly gone.
    'Yes,' I thought to myself. 'Life is going to be pretty
interesting from now on.'Â And I carefully began to stroke the
center in Lisa's brain that called up her most erotic fantasies.
It was going to be a long and pleasurable night.
                            The End

Woman---
She's an angel in truth, a demon in fiction.
A woman's the greatest of all contradiction.
She'll scream at a cockroach and faint at a mouse,
then tackle a husband as big as a house.
She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse.
She'll split his head open, and then be his nurse.
And when he is well and can get out of bed,
she'll pick up a teapot to throw at his head.
You fancy she's this, but you find that she's that;
for she plays like a kitten and fights like a cat.
In the evenings she will, in the mornings she won't
and you're always expecting that she does when she don't.

...I am alone
locked in my memories
There's nowhere left...for me to hide
But I am not real
I've made all I am...with lies
Why does it seem
that everything's different
and why does it seem
that only you are real?
I don't believe
in anything sacred
So why do I feel
so damned alone?
I need someone to break the silence
need someone to break the silence
I need someone to break the silence
screaming in my head...

Have you ever just heard a voice?
 A voice made from the finest silk?
 A voice that sends chills down your spine?
 A voice that makes your heart beat faster?
 A voice that makes you cold and hot at one time?
 A voice that calls you near and then throws you away...
 Just to call again?
 A voice you could get lost in?
 A voice that could only be called Angelic?
 A voice that makes your skin crawl and your own voice shake?
 A voice that makes you sensitive to the touch and caress of it?
 A voice that makes your breath deep and heavy then fast and shallow?
 A voice that makes you see things?
 A voice that haunts your dreams and wakes you up shivering in the moonlight?
 A voice that is musical?
 A voice that penetrates your soul?
 A voice that calls to you, and tells you you are his?
 A voice that you would kill for?
 A voice that you would die for?
A voice I have died for,
 But never killed for..
I hear a voice,
 It's calling me..
It's singing to my soul,
 It's taking my Spirit..
A voice has killed me,
 A voice is killing me again..
That voice is yours and mine..
Intertwined for Eternity..
Nothing can save me or you..
For we are lost to each other..
A voice has killed us both,
And its going to do it again........................
Tell me...

Beckman,
   Don't you love it when you go to have sex.
First, the female that you have chosen for your partner has the bodies
that you have dreamed about for as long as you could dream about that type
of stuff, and you two hit it off right away. You end up at her place, with
noone home but you two. the dogs are put outside and the lights shut off.
The tension has started and the questions is to who will make the first
move of the night. Both of you being sober it is more difficult to take
chances feeling that you are going to open up too much and let too many
feelings that you shouldn't say in the first place out of your mouth.
   The first move is made, she turns her back to you and you bump
into her. She doesn't resist (AT ALL) with a gental push back towards you.
walking down the hall she turns around, still pressing your bodies against
each other. You slid your arms around her waist and tuck your fingers into
the back of her tight pants. She puts her hands on your chest and slides
them up and over your sholders. The two of you make ONE word of small talk
like "SO" and you start Kissing. the kissing gets so involved that your
hands start to move around each other's bodies. You move your hands to her
back and around the braw strap, she moves one of her hands to your top button.
The test starts, how long did it take you to undo her top?
/pause
bexsex Part 2
As the test has ended and you have passed, it didn't take you more than
three sucks on your belly to rip (litteraly) off her cloths. shredded on
the floor they act as a shield to protect you from the carpet burns that
you will still aquire as you try to slide your way into the bedroom (not
knowing who's it is) the motion of rocking back and forth ontop of her and
rolling over with her ontop of you. The sweat and darkness add to the
effect of not knowing who she really is. you make it into the bedroom and
onto the bed, asking in short bursts "who's bed room is this any way?" she
replys that is her parent's bedroom. as you sit upright, she grabs the back
of your neck and pulls you back down ontop of her. she roles over ontop of
you and handling your dick, sitting up right and tossing her head back
while you lay there in a still just thinking if her parents are comming
home soon. At the point that she screams you have lost all thought of the
parents and direct your attention to her titties dangling down in your
face, with sweat dripping from her nipples. You lick the sweat from her
heaving nipples as she pulls very firmlly on your penis, Up and Down, in a
motions that is tempting to a horse to shoot a rocket to the moon. she
then raises herself up on her ankles to insert you into herself while both
of you are in heat.
The test begins again, how long will it take?
/pause
bexsex Part 3
The movment starts, and he roles ontop again. the covers are but on the
floor and the sheets are pulled from two corners. He pushes in she grabs
for something to hold on too. He slids out, she is still felling for
something to hold while he is moving her. Their legs just laying there
like usless pieces of skin. his hands placed next to her waist holding her
and the bed, arms at length and head high in the air. Her legs are buckled
at the knee, trying to keep her feet in the same place without sliding.
her head flipping back and fourth still trying to grab for somthing as he
speeds the rythem. In and out faster and faster. Not yet she says in a
soft voice, Not yet. He slows ever so slightly, in and out, secreation of
natural lubrication is making its way to help the mostion. In and out,
breathing heavy and gasping for air, in and out, she grabs for him
touching him all over. In and out, touching him in places that only should
be used for sex, In and out, the night is young and she wants it to last
ALL NIGHT LONG. In and out, leaving himself in her they slow to a stop for
a gasp and a position change.
The test is still going, when he release his place in time and life?
/pause
bexsex Part 4
Now with the changed position you are both sitting up right, her legs
across yours and you helping her move up and down. in and out the thought
of music enters her mind to keep a beet to the music and time. In and out
the sweat builds more and more, harder to hold each other, the grips grow
tighter and tighter. In and out, the room grows hotter and hotter. In and out
she begins to moan, as he does to let the tention out, in and out, her
moaning has loudened to shouts for god and jesus, in and out, the time and
life has nothing to say in this instance, in and out, he starts to bight
his uper lip not to scream, in and out, he starts to growl, in and out,
her yelling has moved to, in and out, screaming with no holding back, in
and out, the mosition is faster than it has been, in and out, the heart
beats are aparent, in and out, he begins to scream, in and out, I am going
to cum, in and out, I am going to cum, she scream yes in and out, do it,
in and out I am going to cum, in and out, yes, in and out , yes, in and out,
and the time has come, there is a great glow in the room, he pulls out of
her, and rolls over on his back, as she curls up to him. the feeling of
what the hell am I doing with her. Her thoughts of unfreshness. She begins
to think, No comdom, no pills, no norplant, how far in me was he? Should I
tell him? they lay there for a time and begine to get dressed.
The car door slams closed. SHIT IT IS MY PARENT.. FUCK......you have to
get out of here. NOW...get out get out, OH MY GOD..... I am trying..
the sweat is as heave now as it was in mid heat. the worry is evident, at
the time it didn't matter about anything. What do dI do if they come in
their room and find it a mess.. what the fuck do I do? Go out the window..
it is two stories up. I don't care, get out.. as he jumps out the window.
she tosses his shirt and shoes out with him. pants half way up his legs.
Don't get cought.
The final test of life, meeting the parents after sex.

Here's my story, sad but true.
about a girl that i once knew
She Broke my heart, I because unglued
It all started when she called me dude.
Well today i leave the psycho ward
'Cause my sentance did conclude;
I had killed a man with my bare hands
Because he called me dude
The jury said that i was insane
Temporarily insane-brain strain.
But now the doctors say I'm A.O.K.
so i start my new life today.
This story starts some years ago
As I vacationed by the sea,
In the california sunshine
just me and my baby
I was in love feeling sky high
when a big blonde lifeguard walked by.
He looked at her, she looked at him-
I knew it was goodbye
He Took her by the hand, kicked sand in my face
She looked and laughed and said "Later dude!"
They were gone without a trace.
And the waves echoed her laughter
and her words....Yo Later Dude.
Later that night i was in such a bad mood
Sittin' in a bar drinkin' hard, getting stewed
Thinkin' 'bout that girl and how 'bout I'd been screwed
when some guy walks in, sits next to me and says
"Whats up dude!"
I heard the word dude and i became unglued.
Slowly i turned, step by step, inch by inch
and i put my hands around his neck, and i squeezed....
DON'T CALL ME DUDE!
So thats how I got where i am
But this ain't where it ends.
The doctors said they cured me
I said goodbye to my crazy friends.
I was smiling as i left that place
My life had been renewed.
The guard at the gate , he stamped my pass
and he said, "Yo later dude!"
Slowly i turned....

Do do do do do do do do
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
  Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust.
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun.
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun
  -Yes it is.

                  I dreamt again, an arose.
              Â
                    Ah that air so tender in its touch.
                   Embracing me like the frozen wind.
                 Â
                     Pinning my love to her.
                   Why does it carry on doves wings?
Â
                     I thought this mid airs life was a casual fling.
               Â
                   But as the dance had begun, it yet had finished.
                    Â
                     Like a running of clock, endless in time.<br>Â
                    Her heart seem to ryme to flow with mine.
     Â
                      This midnight's twist, seem to just climb into
                      Â
                        enternities open nest. And leave my heart at a
Â
                          peaceful rest.

         "The Sea"
   The day wears on and the hours drift by;
   My boat twists and turns on the sea.
   I perceive the land with my naked eye,
   But the wind and the current aren't kind to me.
   My sole destination is near and yet not
   And the course to the shore in question.
   How I will get there with what little I've got
   I have no idea; not even a suggestion.
   As Tantalus tried in vain to sip:
   The nearer I get, the more the wind blows
   Me out to sea in my fragile ship --
   To tack back again -- and so it goes.
   Day after day and year after year
   More become drowned in the sea.
   We try so hard and get so near;
   Will we ever really be free?
   Have hope, my child, the end is near
   And the meek shall inherit the earth.
   There'll be nothing at all left to fear
   As we each realize our worth.
   So it is and so it was
   And so it ever shall be.
   Don't ever question life because
   It was always meant to be.

         "THE LAST WOLF"
the last wolf hurried toward me
through the ruined city
and I heard his baying echoes
down the steep smashed warrens
of Montgomery Street and past
the few ruby-crowned highrises
left standing
their lighted elevators useless
passing the flicking red and green
of traffic signals
baying his way eastward
in the mystery of his wild loping gait
closer the sounds in the deadly night
through clutter and rubble of quiet blocks
I heard his voice ascending the hill
and at last his low whine as he came
floor by empty floor to the room
where I sat
in the narrow bed looking west, waiting
I heard him snuffle at the door and
I watched
he trotted across the floor
he laid his long gray muzzle
on the spare white spread
and his eyes burned yellow
his small dotted eyebrows quivered
Yes, I said
I know what they have done.

I have a vent to vent about: Ex's
   I hate that some people look at me in a bad way
   because of an ex. People sit there and thing that
   there must be something wrong with me to go out with
   someone like that.
   I hate that that maybe be true, for I cannot phathom
   why I would go out with such a person.
   I hate that the ex had hurt a friend of mine,
   because they couldn't have things their way.
   I hate that the ex doesn't realize what a desperate
   person they really are, and how bad they are making
   themselves look "Just like a rubber ball."
   They will go out with anyone just to avoid being
   alone...and I do mean "anyone". People like that are
   weak fools that will never survive life's "survival of

   Ok I am in a weird sharing care killing horny mood so Im gonna
repost a peom I just put in the Gay.Writings su. BTW there is some
Excellent poetry and prose in there if ya wanna check it out.
=============================================================================
            -Ebony
P.S. I have never wanted to show anyone this poem. I've never wanted to
because its pretty sensitive even now. I wrote it when I turned 9 after
the incident happened. Obivously I lived but I still havent been about
to tell my family the truth about the whole thing. It may sound sort of
juvenille but I was writting it to myself, to give myself alittle peace.
-A Sinner's Song
This is the tale
of a solitary sinner
Sitting up in her room
with a book and a knife
She sits upon the floor
humming softly to herself
Ruining the page of a book
with her blood and her tears
Her mouth softly recites
the lines inside of the book
As the tears slide faster
down her check and to the floor
The book tells her
that what she is is wrong
That what she feels is sick
but she can't believe it true
So a man lies with a man
it is an abomination before God
But what of her with a woman
Is she sick as well
Hurtful words pour into her mind
from her mother's lips
From her father's lips
such hurtful words to a child
They talk of her aunt
the little fucking dike
The perverted pussy-eating les
since she loves another woman
They talk of her cousin
the little fucking faggit
The sickening cornholing queer
since he loves another man
The words pour into my mind
with the power of a waterfall
How they all say its wrong
and sick and perverted
The minister tells her
to be forgiving and gentle
But that those sickening queers
deserve to fester in hell
They say it's their fault
that they choose to be sick
That they want to do wrong
that they lust for evil
So she runs to her room
with only a book and a knife
Her eyes filled with tears
her small heart filled with pain
And she digs the knife deeper
into her small skinny wrist
With a smile on her face
as the blood hits the book
The room starts to spin
as her head starts to lurch
With a smile on her face
she curses them all
She knows they are wrong
that she didnt choose this
How could she choose this
being of only 8 years
So she just hums along
and slowly closes the book
The book, the Bible
is no longer her guide
It will all end so very soon
no more confusion or pain
She thinks to herself
with a smile upon her lips
And as the blackness sets in
and her heart is set free
She knows within her heart
what she feels is truly right

Oh, the dogs they had a meeting,
They came from near and far.
And some dogs came by motor bus
And some by motor car.
On entering the meeting hall
Each dog could take a look
Where he had to hang his asshole
Up high upon a hook.
Now when they were assembled,
Each canine son and sire,
Some dirty bulldog son of a bitch
Jumped up and hollered, "Fire".
Now all was in a panic,
T'was hell upon to look,
Each doggie grabbed at random
An asshole from a hook.
The asshholes were all mixed up
Which made each doggie sore
To have to wear another dogs ass
He'd never worn before.
And that is why until this day
A dog will leave a bone
And run and smell another dog's ass
To see if it is his own.

I can't see what is bound in light
Flooding truths and flawless insight
Crisper still, the hazey confines
Everything so vivid as it falls between lines
Smoke from flame rises in bloom
choking air flooding my room.
In search of sickling prey
that which I can lame, and feast for the day
Say is in obscurement
Way is in abandonment
follow the path, it's your only device.

Being With Him
The stolen sun light in his hair,
As walks across the bridge we share
Evokes memories, that make me shy,
Repressed passions I cannot deny.
Remaining ambers and their flame

Brand his name upon my heart
As being with him, though apart.

         *You Are There*
I shall save my poems
for the winter of my dreams
I look forward to huddling
in my rocker with my life
I wonder what i"ll contemplate
Lovers-certainly those
I can't remember
and knowing my life
You'll be there
You'll be there in the cold
like a siamese on my knee
proud purring when you let me stoke you
You'll be there in the rain
like an umbrella over my head
sheltering me from the damp mist
You'll be there in the dark
like a lighthouse in the fog
seeing me through troubled waters
You'll be there in sun
like coconut oil on my back
to keep me from burning
I shall save a special poem
for you to say
You always made me smile
and even though I cried sometimes
You said I will not let you down
my rocker and I on winter's porch
will never be sad if you're gone
the winter's cold has been stored
against
You will always Be there

all of you to degrade.
      SOMETHING TAKEN AND NOTHING LOST,
      PEOPLE SCARED OF ANOTHER HOLOCAUST.
      FEARING WHAT WE CAN'T CONTROL,
      LIFE IS GONE FREE OUR SOULS.
      DEATH BECOMES JUST ANOTHER PART,
      THINKING LIFE WILL STAY IN OUR HEART.
      THERE IS NO LIFE AFTER DEATH,
      THE STATE YOU WERE BECOMES BEQUEATHED.
      OUR BODIES BECOME THAT EARTHLY SPICE,
      GIVING WHAT WE TOOK IN LIFE.
      SOULS ARE CAPTURED IN A CHASM OF DIRT,
      BROUGHT BACK TO A NEW REBIRTH.

Some drivel from me:
I was once an ice sculpture
Born in the snow
Atop a mountain
Seldom scaled
And far from view
But then I was found
Thought to have been abandoned
High above
With everyone thinking
The reason for my stare
Was my diamond cut skin
And they wondered
Why I echoed when touched
And grew smaller..When my tears sounded as chimes
Still though
They mourned
When they could no longer see
This cold piece of art
And when they splashed
Through the puddles
They cried
Feeling their skin grow warm
While wondering what was missing

The flowers are the only constant
as love changes and lust is forgotten
as women blow by in my life
as my location changes
as my standard of living changes
as the trees fall
and the years go by
and the winters come and go
and my moods swing with the tides
My scout uniform is gone
My old bicycles are gone
My boardgames are gone
I've lost my childhood
I've lost pieces of my memory,
and whenever I find one again I cry
and when I see someone with the Cat in the Hat I cry
and when someone show me their first love letters I cry
Everything I have left
Everything that I care about
Everything takes up about 2 cubic feet
And I wonder what I'm missing
And I think about worth
And I think about value
A vicious cycle
A vicious tide
A vicious mindframe and so much shame
Go on
Go forward
Won't look back
Won't be disapointed
Won't hope beyond hope
The only constant is the flowers and
The only tide rolls
The only Moon wanes
The only sun burns
yes
The only constant is the flowers

                              WATER OF YOUR BATH
                    I wish I could be the water of your bath
               I would surround you with mellow warmth, liquid love
               Like a frolicking/childish wave on the sandy shore
              I would dash and break upon the firmness of your body
                   Engulf and moisten the places I dream of
             If I were the water of your bath I would memorize each
                              and every muscle
                 And being liquid I would take your shape
                       Mold myself to your every curve
                           Your every indentation
                 I would roll on/over/and off your satin skin
                       If I were the water of your bath
            I would send part of me to gather in the recess of your
                                   navel
               There my temperature would rise to match yours
                     And like the plants of the sea
                        I would move your body hairs
          In and out with the tide created by your body movements
                Playfully I would slosh against your thighs
                And become very intimate with your nature
                     If I were the water of your bath
          I would cleanse you as my ancestors the Nile and Congo
                           Cleansed your ancestors
             But even more When you leave me and pull the plug
                  I would defy the natural order of things
                  And stay and wait for your naked return.

When I wake up in my house
I get dressed then I get lost
I don't know whick way to go
I guess I'll have another cup of joe
where the hell was I anyways
so I end up on the street
walkin' talkin' to my own beat
in a fog, in a haze
I've been trippin' out for days
can you help me find me way home

don't rock the boat now, just let it slide
groovy people walking back and forth, that's right
so I hop on to this bus
destination reads please save us
not a soul that I know
to be found in this dark hole
can you help me find my way home
can you help me find my way home
I'm so tired of looking for the door
please help me find my way
please help me find my way
I can't find the door

I find myself just out there floating

You have drawn me out,
Like water from a dark well.
I will not drown.
You have colored my life,
Like the sunrise on a frozen winter morn.
Cold, I will no longer be.
You have lifted the black cloud from my heart,
Like the veil from a sorrow-stricken widow.
I am alive.
For the two that I give my eternal gratitude:
To my love; my heart.
To my Lord; my soul.

I raised my Spanish colors, and he the pirates' black,
The skull and crossbones flying, I readied for attack.
My ship the Brewer's Maiden, and his ship named Revenge,
We chased about the ocean, out to it's mighty ends,
The westward gale 'a slowing, my ship could go no more,
So I turned the galleon starboard, and let the cannon roar!
Boom! Went the mighty cannon, a shot across his bow.
Boom! Went the mighty cannon, I missed again somehow.
Boom! Went the mighty cannon, he hit us in the stern.
Boom! Went the mighty cannon, how the tide of battle'd turned.
My ship began to falter, and sink into the sea,
My crew they worked in earnest, to patch the hoses in she,
looking out to starboard upon the pirates' craft,
I knew that he was coming, to finish the attack.
So we loaded up the cannon, for one final throw,
To Davey Jones' locker, we hoped to make him go,
And in that final salvo, shot so true by me,
I sank that God-damned pirate, now he'll never bother me.
So we patched our brave old galleon, and set a course for home,
The king would give me titles, and gold from 'top his throne,
My fame will live forever, throughout our blessed lands,
the story of the captain, who sank the ship Revenge.
So when your children ask you, about the fate of he,
Just tell them of the battle, upon the mighty sea.
And when your children ask you, about the fate of Dread,
Know you that he rests now, in Davey Jones' bed.
Just tell them that he rests now, in Davey Jones' bed!

The Pirates Revenge
As the Maiden turned to sunset, and set a course for home,
My ship she sank beneath me, causing the sea to foam.
I floated upon the mast of the mighty ship Revenge,
And watched his ship set sail for far and distant lands.
A passing ship, she saved me, not knowing who I be,
The captain and last survivor of a mighty ship indeed.
They dropped me off on land, and though those I knew were few,
I proceeded to build a new ship, and secretly recruit a crew.
In six months I was ready, and the crossbones they were raised,
We set sail for the open sea, and my pirates they were crazed.
They wanted gold and riches, and power, glory and fame,
I simply wanted vengence, on the man from the Spanish main.
In a few months I found her, The Brewers Maiden looked new,
So I raised my colors and fired, I smiled as the cannon balls flew.
The battle was long and heated, and the captain, he fought well,
But I noticed his bow getting lower, with the rise and fall of each swell.
We boarded the craft and fought, with sword and knife we killed,
My pirates swarmed into the hold and their pockets proceeded to fill.
I myself fought the captain, and a glorious fight indeed,
I killed him slowly in the end, fulfilling my vengeful need.
We searched the ship for survivors, and made sure that all were dead,
For I couldn't afford to take prisoners, if I valued my valued head.
We got gold and jewels and silver, and other things 'tis true,
But the best we got from that fight, was the captains unbeatable brew!

As I was walking down that silent, weeping path.
I thought of the pain and misery I have shed,
The blood that was fed, to the anger of a lonely soul.
Torment, hostillity, daytime nightmares...
Oh does thy soul ponder such dread.
To have.
To hold.
Why shall I be bold about my deeds of the Satin nights?
What holds me to these cravings for victims?
To taste.
To waste ones soul.
To at last believe there is no victims.
Just their misfortune, my fortune.
Ah guilt trashes, bashes the souls craving for attention.
Do you hear me Oh wicked world?
I do play in your dismay.
Rumble, crumble as the walls of Jerico crash down.
Listen to my insane MUHAHA laughter.
Feel it, see it, believe in it.
For I am the one, you are but the many.
Bow down before the one you serve...
Muhaha your gonna get what you deserve...
Nothing! but ill spilled feelings of a deprived youth.
Down with the mocking bird, hear my cry...
As my brain fries on this insane world's destruction
Of it's self.
Death, Gloom, An Angry God's boom.
Feel it.
Smell it.
Watch it.
Hit you.
Realize I'm preying on you.

I sit alone inside myself
and somehow try to feel
the pain i should be feeling
but it doesn't quite seem real
it all went on so long ago
but the memory is still clear
and all the things he said to me
somehow i still hear
I seem to have grown cold inside
as far as that's concerned
and the numbness that i'm feeling
i guess that i have earned
they tell me i'm a survivor
but howcome i can't see
all the strength and courage
they say they see in me

the dream
as i close my eyes i dream of you
and the love we once had shared
now we are left to roam these barren fields
ever unaware
i call your name to return to me
but the cry you cannot hear
and i am left ever alone
living in this fear
and when i find myself in your arms
the truth i cannot say
i try so hard to open up to you
but the words get in the way
your voice remains a mystery
in a beauty that overwhelms my eyes
oh what a fool have i become
leaving me ever so blind
in the end we say goodbye
parting along our ways
and as you leave i softly whisper aloud
i love u just the same

wrapping thy light ample wings around my trembling body
to tightly bind mine arms at my side

apitimizing the diversity of my innocence
for i am but a nimble dancer
paraueting at each melodic word you speak
while you draw me closer
until i can feel the cast of your heavy breaths upon my exposed flesh
forcing each hair to stand on end at attention
oh come ye dark angel
why must thy keep me in suspence
expose thine knarled fangs of vagrancy
and sink deep
into this vain i give so freely
to stop the heart of an already dead man

okay, well here are the lyrics to the my theme song
she just witnessed her man and his woman talk about running off together,
so she isnt' a happy camper..note the sad tone in the lyrics
----------------------
On My Own
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home , without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near, now I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him, and then I'm happy
Wit the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him
I fell his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shies like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
Ind thedarkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him andme forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myslef and to not to him
And Althought I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without hhim, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets
Are full of strangers
I love him
But evryday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness that i have never know
I love him, I love him
I love him, but only on my own

Yet another thought provoking entry:
The days last hours, the nights take years.
You looked so good, only took five beers.
I used you up, and threw you away.
You used to call me everyday.
Now you hate me, but I feel so strange.
I think I love you, how deranged.
You lept off the cliff to your demise.
If only I was emotionally wise,
I could have helped you and really cared.
Now your dead, and I never dared...
To express my love.

It's all in my mind, and that invulnerable field.
It's my imagination, how carefully do I yield.
Too use it too much is to be fickle, and unwise.
Too use it too little is to be Spock in disguise.

the end of the rainbow
within this place i rest my head
an watch as life passes by
forsaken thoughts are withdrawn
from inside my thoughts
as i gaze into the sky
the far winds blow throughout the lands
to heave comfort to my heart
no more shall i grieve
for what was before
from those ways i have come to part
filed away are the lost memories
losing meaning with each passing day
now i have found
it is time to move on
to learn a lesson from the old fangled ways
reflecting now and again
upon the moments of the past
i remind myself how it once had been
but now i refuse to lose faith
on this voyage i take
so i shall not live in vain
long are these roads
heaving their wear
but to that i must pay no mind
for one day i shall reach
the end of the rainbow
and the treasure of love
i will once again find!

Broken Routine
Rising in the morning
Your hair mussed from a night of passion and sleep
You move around the room
Quietly in routine
Preparing for the day
I recall the night
Your scent lingers on the sheets
I can imagine your touch on my skin
As you leave the room
You catch my eye
Watching you
You smile at me
I watch your leg slip into the rain of water
Suddenly
A wave crashes through me
I need you
I silently move into the bathroom
As I slip into the shower
The look on your face
Is all I need

My mother wove a hair shirt
The day my lungs drew air
With such love and care she crafted
A most uncomfortable reminder that
I am the thorn in paw
The stone in eye
The slow poison
If creativity is a birth
And the mind it's place of conception
Then I was the product of an empty womb
And a cold heart
The living stillborn of unfamiliar heritage
I will wear this shirt
I will wear this shirt till skin bleeds
Like wallpaper bleeding yellow streaks
Of visible humidity
In lonely roadside motel
My mother made two things in life
This shirt and me
And she can be proud that
at least one of her efforts
Lived up
to it's fullest potential

the heart beat swiftly
deftly marks its pace...
high pitch cries of metal
tearing like old silk...
aging gods are moving quickly
tense and edged in pain...
breathing ragged in the thrall
slips from patterned haste...
:
These the sounds I heard
upon a warriors field...
As my shaken legs carry me
across the firestorm front...
And i think..
through my vision , smoky blurred
of a woman that i love..
I see the rifles barrel on me
of the life we have together..
now...no....more

The heart beat rests its tempo
on a crimson, final drum...
Eyes close against the gun metal

Okay, today's lesson is on educational skills, and how I have not a one.
I had 2 weeks to prepare a program for my PASCAL class, and I did it with
some family help about 10 min before class. Not that I put it off on
purpose, I forgot about it. Amazingly I see that this is a problem to many
people. So, I thought of a poem.......
Education is the best, we study hard, then we test.
I hate the attitude of some of the staff.
But I sit and try my very very best.
Once in a while I want to kick their ass.
I try to struggle through the course.
To find the answer, or the choice.
That leads me in the direction of the source.
Of the true and only way that I can voice,
My knowledge.

She longed to be Gidget
Yet she only wound up
Married to a Barnum and Bailey midget
Still she held her head High
And ignorned jeers and Scorn
Even when the little Dwarf
Was arrested for Kiddie porn
Some called her Crazy
Others deemed her Daft
And she just couldn't help Feeling
She'd been given the Shaft
She now sits in a Window
Looking out into Dark
Her Dreams have now vanished
She's idling in Park.
Such sad, sorry Life
She had envisioned much More
Her only means of support
Is now being a Whore.
She sells it for Cheap
While the little bastard does Time
She chains Smokes her cigarettes
Is that such a Crime?

I breath quietly..
I am no longer loud...
I am quiet in all things...
I am quiet in all ways..
No-one notices me..
No-one knows me...
I learned to hide..
I learned to count steps...
As if I were blind...
I learned not to look at anything...
Or anybody...
I learned to listen...
So I will miss nothing...
No-one knows me..
No-one knows me...
I learned to like all things...
So everyone would like me...
I learned to read people...
So no-one would corner or out-manuever me...
No-one knows me..
I need a new place to hide...
I don't like people mad at me...
Now my friends are...
And my defense is up..
It's time to hide again..
No-one knows me...
I'm running alone again..
Too scared to talk...
Too scared to look..
Too scared to be alone..
No-one knows me...
I lied...
I wish someone knew me...
For I don't know me..
Please help me..
Save me...
I'm scared..
Alone..
Wishing to never breath...
So no-one will hurt me...
Or hate me...
Always and Forever,
Cleopatra
sincerely,
Kerry

Death in August
The pain surreal results from a base
Of drugs meant to heal, not to embrace
Death's seductions, which he would have fought
Determined to win, now he too was caught
By Her hold on his brain and white T cells
Sitting in his mansion, he observed Her skills
Looking from his window, he surveyed the grounds
He saw Death in black as She made Her rounds
Down by the pools, surrounded by his trees
Whose fruit he had planned to pick with ease
But She had made a crueler date,
One for which he could not be late.
He studied the family that he had outgrown,
And clung to a love more recently known
Staying beside him with her servant's touch,
Her kindness he held close when fear took much
He told Anne he loved her and she knew it was true
She alone guarded his door but Death came through
And all his gifts were then let loose,
Unhappy inheritance! to a strange misuse,
He could not prevent it and neither would she,
It was best this way to let it be
And not let bitterness take its toll
As well as avarice in his family's soul.

I was in a very dark place a few days ago.
I've been in much worse places,
But this place was pretty bad.
I was filled with fear and uncertainty,
Lust and dark desires.
I felt trapped and alone.
I was filled with numbness and ignorance.
And I wandered.
I searched for knowledge.
And I wandered.
I searched for truth.
And I wandered.
I searched for myself.
During my journey I found a door.
I was at this beautiful door, undecided.
I've seen much better doors,
But this door was very beatiful.
It promised beauty on the other side,
Rainbows and happiness.
I felt helplessly drawn.
I was filled with an incredible attraction.
And I went through.
And I searched for truth.
And I went through.
And I searched for knowledge.
And I went through.
And I searched for myself.
I'm in a very dark place right now,
I've been in much worse places,
But this place is pretty bad.
I am filled with fear and uncertainty,
Lust and dark desires.
I feel trapped and alone.
I am filled with numbness and ignorance.
And I wander.
I search for knowledge.
And I wander.
I search for truth.
And I wander.
I search for myself.

Torn Apart
Slowly ripping away,
Torn apart at the sams.
Gradually the two seperate.
What was once a whole,
is now only related.
Slow is the mending process.
One stitch at a time,
piece by piece,
the two come together.
Once in unison,
they work together.
As with all things
that have been broken.
Care must be taken
or tthey will be torn apart,
once more.
It is not so easy to mend,
a second time.
Dedicated to my crazy mom... maybe some day she will come to grip with
reality.

TEEN YEARS
It's not enough to have a dream
unless I'm willing to pursue it
It's not enough to know what's right
unless I'm strong enough to do it
It's not enough to join the crowd
to be acknowledged and accepted
I must be true to my ideals
even if I'm left out and rejected
It's not enough to learn the truth
unless I also learn to live it
It's not enough to reach for love
unless I care enough to give it.

Well thanx for waiting even if you didnt because I have wonders that will

He cocked it, put it to my head, and pulled the trigger. Orange. How
pretty. I zoomed out. It's like I din't go very far, but my entire

ATF/ The FBI? The CIA? I hope they don't find my nuke because they
might not like it. I'll rig a tripwire. My shotgun kicked up and split
my forhead. You gotta keep it tight against your shoulder you know. If
you ever catch an animal or person casting spells on you, blow them away.
Where is the the reincarnated pack animal when you need him? He finished and
now its my turn but she looks so sore. Maybe if I bothered to take the gag
off she would have told me that anyway. She'll get over it or she won't.
Well. I'm at a loss for words cause shes like a blow up doll and I've
never met one before. Not one that ate and breathed but who gives a shit.
Well I'm blasted out of the water now. Fuck I'm dead dead dead. If you
screw your brothers wife, is it incest? I think God just struck me down.
I think god just struck me down. No really man. He did.
Let me tell you something. If I'd know that she was gonna treat you the
way she did, I'd have killed her. Really. You want me to kill her? I'll
kill her. Oh well, I don't use that anyway. My career is over ad I don't

although you can surely see my face

i don't knowhow much my face can show
i don't know, but i wish i were inside out for you.

that does indeed flow for you.
for you.
for you to press up against, and be so close.
not close enough although,
unless i am turned inside out for you.
pressed all close, on my inside out self,
to feel my heart beat with love for you.
i can feel it, i think i'm the only one
because i am of course inside my very own self.
if i only were inside out for you.
so i spread my skin thin hoping that soon-

Speak softly now little child
for soon your daddy comes home
and be sure to tip toe
for your fear is the resepct that he seeks.
Never been hit by anything but words
but words are sword of the tongue
not a bruise nor a scratch on the outside of me
but inside I'm bleeding so horribly
I never sought to hurt you
only to amke you smile
but the truth you've rejected
right along with me
but who else would tell you
for you rule with an iron tongue
over everyone but me.
I don't fear you anymore, I don't need you anymore
I don't want you anymore.

sorry at times if i seem distraught
yet my heart is tied up in a knot
dying slowly of a love i hold to
memories of this love when they were new
always remembering the times of our past
holding to the love we said would last
missing his arms holding me tight
now holding back tears with all my might
wishing i knew what to say or to do
not like before when our love just grew
no words are there which i can speak
no kisses gently across my lips and my cheek
slowly dying inside as the pain leaks in
hoping and praying that this love will win.

Feelings falling Down.
Having no bound, no grip.
Her so called love rips my soul.
Flips my heart with each pitter patter.
Tatter, rattered bones.
Flattering my unawakened night with a heatful lust.
Like a fresh gust of wind in the morning dew.
Unlike rust on a car, or an engine that spews.
She thinks I have no clue.
She thinks she plays me for a fool.
Oh how cruel is her trickery.
Flickery as a light bulb.
She thinks she's right.
She thinks she uses me tonight.
Oh how she winks in that manner of game.
She thinks she's no ordinary dame.
She thinks no soul will be mamed.
She lit the flame in the torch.
She blames, not herself.
She thinks she has tamed the beast.
She thinks she has the right to claim that fame.
She thinks she'll just close her eyes tonight.
Gee I think I win this game. Goodnight.

My mother wove a hair shirt
The day my lungs drew air
With such love and care she crafted
A most uncomfortable reminder that
I am the thorn in paw
The stone in eye
The slow poison
If creativity is a birth
And the mind it's place of conception
Then I was the product of an empty womb
And a cold heart
The living stillborn of unfamiliar heritage
I will wear this shirt
I will wear this shirt till skin bleeds
Like wallpaper bleeding yellow streaks
Of visible humidity
In lonely roadside motel
My mother made two things in life
This shirt and me
And she can be proud that
at least one of her efforts
Lived up
to it's fullest potential

As my mind wades in this afternoon breeze.
I think back to those spades of hearts of yesteryear.
When man's own fear was but of love and glory.
How a woman's own lust, was of the trust her man shared.
Or bared in a rare moment in time.
Yet those spare splinters, fragments have disappeared.
Like the flare of life itself.
For no one cares of the old way.
of being, of believing, of having.
Just trying to fair the same way.
Yet no one dares to explore.
Bare souls lay empty, the heart becomes a mass grave.
Deprived, dilluted almost.
Just becoming a simple rift in time.
Not like most nursery rymes.
Love can't be mended.
It can seem as if it is bended.
But this one's mind disproves of the trend in which love goes.
It doesn't flow.
Does it exsist? I say no.

THE GIFT
In a dirty old coat
in a seat by himself
a wispy old man
sat holding his flowers
with careful flesh
covered digits
And accross the aisle
sat the girl
who's roaming eyes
came back and back again
impulsively
to the bouquet
The time came
The bus stopped
And as the man stepped off
he thrust the flowers
into the girl's lap
"I can see you like them
my wife would want you
to have them."
And he disapeared
throught the musky
gate of the small
cemetary.

But since I'm here and you're so far away
I'll read about Zaphod Beeblebrox
As I pass the day, hey

I'd rather not be on so much caffeine
But since you're in bed and I'm sleeping

I threw my head up against the wall
It sounded like a bouncing ball
I did not see one birdy
And the room didn't seem very sturdy
But I feel fine
Becuase I already had my time
To feel the pain
Sealed with a kiss inside my brain
That was long ago and far from this day
But the feelings just won't go away

Groping for the pictures I dispise
Only to feel the clamy air

      He was known to be just and fair, albeit a bit fat.
      He sent his knights to battle the evil dark,
      But they were beat back to their own castle's mark.
      The King was worried and all upset, about the enemy.
      So he called forth his wise old man, his name Jeremy.
      Jeremy thought long and hard, about what to do.
      He thought and thought until his head turned blue.
      Jeremy rushed to the King and whispered in his ear.
      The King got up and ate some bread and drank beer.
      Pat the King said,"I know how to beat a minnow!"
      He screamed and flapped and ran right out the window.

I am the very model of a modern teenage Cyberpunk
I rent my own apartment and it's full of electronic junk
I own a VAX, a 486, I've even got a PDP
I've finished Myst and Doom but I am stumped by Wing Commander III
I'm very well aquainted too with matters pornographical
I have a list of image sites, both overseas and national
So if you want to see a picture of that Anna Nichole Smith
I'll fire up my terminal and fetch for you a naughty GIF
I'm totally an anarchist, the government I'd like to wreck,
Though if they were to get blown up, who'd give to me my welfare cheque?
In short if you need answers that concern your electronic junk,
I am the very model of a modern teenage Cyberpunk
I know the ancient myths about RTM, Pengo and Mitnick
I 'hack' into computers and I then perform a credit check
I scare all my non-hacker friends with tales of cracker theivery
and even though I'm spouting crap they'll listen and believe in me
I've learned to spot a troll and I've seen flames about the way I spell,
I've traced badly forged cancels and seen napalm poured on AOL
I've laughed at all the newbies and their flailing cries of "You all Suck!"
I've been flamed by Carasso, with an anvil I have then been struck
I've hung around in alt.tasteless and seen war waged on rec.pets.cats
I've spent my time in talk.bizarre and used those stupid Relay Chats
In short, if you need answers that concern your electronic junk,
I am the very model of a modern teenage Cyberpunk
Well postings like "MAKE.MONEY.FAST", I am now somewhat wary at,
I have been "Global Killfiled" by the Joel Furr Commissariat,
When rosebud posts a lengthy rant 'bout Microsoft she swears is true,
I know that she is just another short lived kook without a clue
When I have learnt what progress has been made upon the Internet,
When I know something more than just a smattering of netiquette,
In short when I can have a world-wide soapbox on which I can stand
I've got no time for other things, like beer and trips to Disneyland
My life outside the Internet is very very sad you see
I cannot get my spots to fade, my social life's a tragedy,
But still if you need answers that concern your electronic junk,
I am the very model of a modern teenage Cyberpunk.

My son went and lost his viginity last night ...
He was sucker punched, but finished the fight.
A wayward youth who has vocally insisted
That our whole cyberfamily is decidedly twisted.
I never wanted my children to be
A streetfighter or even an asshole like me.
But with pride I can say as any dad would
My son done it right and he done it good!
A bloody lip he received from the youth
And a slightly less well-seated tooth.
But he walked away from it no worse the wear
Wondering why he'd done it and was it fair.
A pacifist's pacifist hot-headed son
Got in a fight and decidely won.
He's not a virgin in life anymore

but he wouldn't agree
to be the dandelion
she wnated to be a robin singing
through the leaves
but he refused to be
her tree
she spun herself into a web
and looking for a place to rest
turned to him
but he stood straight
declining to be her corner
she tried to be a book
but he wouldn't read
she turned herself into a bulb
but he wouldn't let her grow
she decided to become
a woman
and though he still refused
to be a man
she decided it was all
right

Subject : Abort, Retry, Fail?
Written : 04/12/96.10:29pm
Here is one for you avid computer users....
                  Abort, Retry, Ignore?
 Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
 System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
 Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets.
 Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer,
 I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store,
 Only this and nothing more.
 Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
 Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more.
 But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
 "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
 One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more,
 Just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
 Was this some occult illusion, some maniacal intrusion?
 These were choices undesired, ones I'd never faced before.
 Carefully I weighed the choices as the disk made impish noises.
 The cursor flashed, insistent, waiting, baiting me to type some more.
 Clearly I must press a key, choosing one and nothing more,
 From "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
 With fingers pale and trembling, slowly toward the keyboard bending,
 Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored,
 Praying for some guarantee, timidly, I pressed a key.
 But on the screen there still persisted words appearing as before.
 Ghastly grim they blinked and taunted, haunted, as my patience wore,
 Saying "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
 I tried to catch the chips off guard, and pressed again, but twice as hard.
 I pleaded with the cursed machine: I begged and cried and then I swore.
 Now in mighty desperation, trying random combinations,
 Still there came the incantation, just as senseless as before.
 Cursor blinking, angrily winking, blinking nonsense as before.
 Reading, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
 There I sat, distraught, exhausted, by my own machine accosted.
 Getting up I turned away and paced across the office floor.
 And then I saw a dreadful sight: a lightning bolt cut through the night.
 A gasp of horror overtook me, shook me to my very core.
 The lightning zapped my previous data, lost and gone forevermore.
 Not even, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
 To this day I do not know the place to which lost data go.
 What demonic nether world us wrought where lost data will be stored,
 Beyond the reach of mortal souls, beyond the ether, into black holes?
 But sure as there's C, Pascal, Lotus, Ashton-Tate and more,
 You will be one day be left to wander, lost on some Plutonian shore,
 Pleading, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"                                      Â

Subject: Humor:Poem of the Little old lady in Lavender...(Risque)...
THE LITTLE OLD LADY IN LAVENDER SILK by Dorothy Parker
I was seventy-seven, come August,
    I shall shortly be losing my bloom;
I've experienced zephyr and raw gust
    And (symbolical) flood and simmom.
When you come to this time of abatement,
    To this passing from Summer to Fall,
It is manners to issue a statement
    As to what you got out of it all.
So I'll say, though reflection unnerves me
    And pronouncements I dodge as I can,
That I think (if my memory serves me)
    There was nothing more fun than a man!
In my youth, when the crescent was too wan
    To embarrass with beams from above,
By the aid of some local Don Juan
    I fell into the habit of love.
And I learned how to kiss and be merry--an
    Education left better unsung.
My neglect of the waters Pierian
    Was a scandal, when Grandma was young.
Though the shabby unbalanced the splendid,
    And the bitter outmeasured the sweet,
I should certainly do as I then did,
    Were I given the chance to repeat.
For contrition is hollow and wrathful,
    And regret is not part of my plan,
And I think (if my memory's faithful)
    There was nothing more fun than a man!

He gave his love

So did I give               :(
all my heart                  :O

As the moon shined

My love shines

a tormented soul forever banished
from the microcosm of existance
doomed for all eternity to be
damned to the bottomless pit of
endless loneliness
:( dead men tell no tales
the end is near
finally
at least i know the
truth
i was your differral
so that girls would like you,
but it wasn't cause your were male,
i can't stand males,
it was your fluid identities
now they are gone
no more shape shifting
you were only pretending
now you have left all
those feelings in me
i can't handle them
i rather die
goodbye
noone will miss this asshole not even margie
noone cares not even myself, give me all the drugs you take
drop me off att the lake alone
if you really care you will help me
you have the sword i have the dagger
one moment of intense pain, then perfect bliss,
i won't tell anyone, you can do it, don't be afraid

Slightly irregular sonnet 2
Are you that rose not grown
Lithe of limb and lush of bush
Child of wind borne seed now sown
That through the dusty soil does push
That Sun and tender care will lift
To heights undreamed in Summer daze
And Spring reveal your fragrent gifts?
In Beauty's halo twined your garland lays
Heart and mind agile limber loose and nimble.
Will he nurture love or murder you?
In nightmare breeze you tremble
leaves in disarray and branches strewn.
If I'm the cause of certain apprehension,
I'd rather see you laugh than mute with tension.

In the dazed fog i live,
   With lack of sleep and lack of joy.
   In this world of broken hearts
but how strange it seems that even in this pain   Â
      I am floating on a cloud that sings.
 It sounds to be joyous, yet why do i not feel free?
I feel free all the same but why this broken heart
      that seems to be relieved?
These dreams in my head i am not sure if they live or if i
   thought them up in my own mind......
Dying is but living.

trapped in the web
walking a tightrope
I can barely stay on
this place is a circus
I am merely a pawn
where can I go?
which way do I turn?
soon I will sink
if I don't learn
then finally I fall
fall through the air
not sure where I'll land
not sure how I'll fare
I fall into a net
it makes me feel
like somehow I'm important
but somehow it's not real
is this a net of safety?
am I so secure?
does it heal the pain?
does it ease the fear?
I look up
see a fearsome spider
I'm in its web
bound by its fiber
I see other people
identities are fiction
we're all trapped
by internet addiction
everyone's hurting
we're looking for hope
will this stop the pain?
or just help us cope?
in this place
we make a whole
mindless clones
without a soul
to find a purpose
everyone yearns
where this place leads
everyone burns
how do I escape
this dreaded place?
how do I escape
from cyberspace?

        Suicide Is Painless
        ------- -- --------
   Through early morning fog I see,
   Visions of the things to be.
   The things that are witheld from me
   I realize and I can see:
   That suicide is painless ...
   It brings on many changes ...
   And I can take or leave it if I please.
/pause
   The game of life is hard to play;
   I'm gonna lose it anyway ...
   The losing card I'll someday lay,
   So this is all I have to say:
   Suicide is painless ...
   It brings on many changes ...
   And I can take or leave it if I please.
/pause
   The sword of Time will pierce our skin;
   It doesn't hurt when it begin.
   But as it works it's way on in,
   The pain grows stronger (watch it grin).
   But suicide is painless ...
   It brings on many changes ...
   And I can take or leave it if I please.
/pause
   A brave man once requested me,
   To answer questions that are deep.
   "Is it to be or not to be?"
   And I replied "Oh, why ask me?"
   Suicide is painless ...
   It brings on many changes ...
   And I can take or leave it if I please.
   And you can do the same thing if you please ...

When we started it was a sunny day
a beautiful flower of the truest colors
shining stars scattered across the heavens.
It was holding hands,
and drinking coffee,
and not knowing quite what to expect.
We got a little silly;
we got pretty comfortable;
we fell into eachother.
It was bright and full of life,
passionate and fun,
it was something I had never had before.
Suddenly it wasn't the same,
and one could see and would,
and the other refused.
And it took a darkness
never to be forgotten
to make her understand.

Flesh turns charred and hair shrivels dry
Gasping for liquid, or preying to dye

Bleachness of glory seer my eyes
tumbling down, amidst the dirt
my tong is swelled, my stomach, hurt
The sun is hot, my world black
faint in the chill which blows upon my back
skin now cracked, and eyes turned to stone
in this misery, I die alone.
The sun is hot.

                   THE PLAN
 In the beginning there was the Plan
 and with the Plan came the assumptions
 and the assumptions were without form
 and the Plan was completely without substance
 and darkness came upon the face of the workers and
 they spoke unto their Team Leaders saying
 "It is a crock of shit and it stinketh."
 And the Team Leaders went unto their Managers and sayeth
 "It is a pail of dung and none may tolerate the odour thereof."
 And the Managers went forth to their Sr. Managers and sayeth
 unto them "It is a container of excrement and it is very strong,
 such that none may abide by it."
 And the Sr. Managers went unto their Director and sayeth unto him
 "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may tolerate its strength."
 And the Director went forth to the Vice President and exclaimed
 "It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong."
 After which the Vice President went unto the Sr. Vice President
 and sayeth unto him "It promoteth growth and is very powerful."
 And the Sr. Vice President went unto the President and proclaimed
 "This powerful new Plan will actively promote growth and efficiency
 of the department and this area in particular."
 And the President looked upon the plan
 and saw that it was good
 and the Plan became Policy.

    Hello. My name is Mary, and IUve never even thought about
writing a story like this before.
    The only other time I ever visited this newsgroup was a month
ago. I was afraid to be reading one of these stories. Even
though my roommate had gone home for the weekend I still felt like
any moment someone would come in the room and see what I was
reading. I felt like someone was watching me. And now itUs me
writing one of these stories.
    But I hope this story is different. That night a month ago I
only read two stories before I quit. Both were ugly: about ugly
people doing ugly things to each other. If there was caring I did
not recognize it. It was a story about animals, not about people. Â
I was wanting to read about romance made physical and found only
violence made romantic.
    I hope most of you who read this are not like the people in
those stories. This is a story about sex, but more about caring
and about people. I probably will get dreadfully teased if my
friends ever read this. But maybe not: the friends that would
recognize the following events are not the friends who might tease
me about them. At least my parents will never know. But you
should know IUm writing this story for you, the people who read
these stories and who (I hope) are looking for less ugly ones. Â
Also IUm writing this because I did not like those other stories,
and as an English major I feel a need to write a better one, as if
that fixes something.
    This is a story about Tony and I. Tony is... (Sigh)
    I should start at the beginning.
    The beginning I remember quite clearly. It was after
Shakespeare class, and I was standing outside the classroom door,
looking at Tony and letting all sorts of happy thoughts about him
bounce in my mind. I hardly noticed I was staring at him; the
thoughts were more embarrassing and much more distracting. I was
thinking about his face, his hands and arms, the curve of his
chest as his shoulder faced me. I imagined I was running my hands
through his hair, or we were looking into each otherUs eyes. Few
boys had this effect on me, and never before so deeply. I was
raised a good Christian girl: when I now and then imagined moments
of greater intimacy, I tried to suppress those fantasies. At that
moment my mind was quite distracted trying to suppress a scene of
my kneeling on my bed, arms around the neck of Tony, who was
standing beside it, looking up at him and about to be kissing each
other and feeling this reflected in his eyes and in the warmth of
his hands on my back, when Tony in real life left the classroom
and paused just outside the door, quite near to me. He had a
puzzled look on his face; he was trying to think where he should
go, and my thoughts tried to jump into his mind: RPlease just
stand still, or dare I ask you to look affectionately my way?S
    Then his friend Anne bounced up to him, set her hands on his
shoulders, and resting her head on her hand asked, RIUm tired,
letUs take a nap until lunch.SÂ This was not all that strange:
Anne was always bouncy, even when tired, and both of them were
often hanging off each other or other close friends. But before I
could stop myself, because it suddenly seemed that Tony had been
mine for the past few minutes and then he had been stolen, I
piped, RNo!S. They both turned and looked at me, and I was much
too shocked to be embarrassed. IUm sure my eyes were huge and my
mouth was hanging open, even though I didnUt notice then. I
started breathing again when Anne started giggling, but didnUt
finish the breath before Tony had stepped towards me and scooped
me up into his arms. I remember having the silliest thought as I
was literally being swept off my feet: has he practiced this sort
of thing? Then he was walking down the hallway, carrying me, with
Anne giggling along.  Being held like that I had no choice but to
put my arms around his neck. Honest.
    The campus is small: the walk from the English building to
TonyUs dorm was not long and my weight never seemed to bother him. Â
Not that IUm that big. Not that I knew nor cared where we were
going. I could feel so much of him: his shoulder against my head,
his arms under my back and legs. I could hear his breathing. I
was unbelievably happy to be being held by Tony, but also
completely terrified that one of my friends might see me. Â
Although IUd been enjoying looking at Tony since the semester
began, both in Shakespeare class and around campus, we had never
even talked to each other before. How could I explain to my
friends what was happening? How could I explain to myself?
    Although I did not realize it at the time, I was also quite
happy to be kidnapped. If I had asked him to be carrying me, to
be touching me, or if I knew where we were going or what we were
planning on doing once we arrived, then I would have to worry if
what was happening was wrong.
    AnneUs giggling had stopped by the time we left the history
building. In the middle of the quad she started again. Then she
started humming, loudly and off-key. But I recognized the tune. Â
How did Anne know my name? I probably would have blushed even if
Tony had not started singing, loudly but not off key: RMaria, IUve
just met a girl named Maria, and suddenly the name will never be
the same again to me.S
    I spent one moment wondering for the first time if I really
wanted to be there. Then he spun me around once as he walked, and
while doing so kissed my cheek. IUd never had a boy kiss me
before; a few had asked to but IUd never let them. As I nearly
fainted he sang a second verse: RMaria, IUve just kissed a girl
named Maria...S Anne was giggling maniacally now. I looked
towards her and saw her face and eyes. Before I might wonder if
she was feeling jealous of my being kissed I could see she was
beamingly happy. She was having fun. And seeing her face, I
stopped wondering if I wanted to be there and realized I was
supposed to be having fun, too.
    Inside the dorm, Anne opened the door to his room and bounced
inside and rolled across his bed. Then she yawned, and stretched
like a cat. Tony gently set me down next to Anne, kicked off his
shoes while closing the door, and then lay down beside me. I lie
still on my back, somewhat stunned. Then a poke from Anne told me
to roll onto my side. That was better: I could face Anne; looking
at Tony had suddenly become somewhat frightening. Anne smiled,
then closed her eyes. Tony shifted, and after a moment Anne moved
a little; then everyone was quiet.
    Apparently the intention to nap until lunch was genuine. Â
Anne soon fell asleep. Tony at one point reached over from behind
me and brushed my cheek gently with the soft back of his fingers. Â
By then my heart had eased from beating so quickly, and I decided
to roll over to face him. He scritched my bangs and smiled, then
closed his eyes again. I tried to fall asleep but couldnUt. Soon
I had resigned to looking at Tony sleeping peacefully, while
slowly playing with the hair curling at his temples and forehead. Â
His breathing was slow and peaceful. I could hear AnneUs quiet
breathing too. How strange it was to consider these two people my
friends. They had to be friends: that I might be lying on a bed
with two strangers was inconceivable. But I did not know his
favorite flavor of ice cream, or what animal he would want to be
if he had a choice, or what classes he enjoyed most, or any of
those ordinary things. I realized I knew how he smelled. A pun
snuck into my mind: these two were not just friends, but RcloseS
friends. I realized there was something about closeness that was
bigger than I was. The trust and friendliness, the permission to
show warmth and even affection, it had overwhelmed me completely. Â
I felt like Alice beyond the looking glass; I had entered a world
not my own. I realized that in my imaginings when I hugged Tony I
always had to let go of him, but now I could fall asleep with my
arm over him and never think about letting go. I tentatively put
one arm around him, then tried again to fall asleep.
    I awoke to Tony brushing my cheek with the back of his
fingers. As I slipped into consciousness I heard myself hum a
contented sigh, and noticed I was smiling. I had rolled onto my
back as I slept. I was looking up at his face and he was propped
up on one elbow, looking down at me. He was smiling too, almost
as dreamily.
    Anne was awake. She shifted and leaned over me. She grinned
a grin the Cheshire cat might have made, not for Alice but for a
fellow conspirator. RGood morning,S she beamed. RFalling asleep,
I was worried you might regret having joined us. But you made
such nice purring noises for a whole minute before waking, so I
feel safer now.SÂ Apparently when just waking my expressions move
faster than my thoughts: I barely had time to start panicking when
she added, RGee, she looks cute blushingS. Then she sat up,
bounced out of bed, stretched once, and left the room.
    Tony seemed to have taken her words more seriously than she
did. He stopped playing with my cheek. The look on his face
asked, RDo you regret this?S
    The question had a disappointingly serious tone, especially
for just after waking up (even if AnneUs comments had shaken most
of drowsiness away). What I wanted to say was, RI donUt want to
talk about that yet, letUs just rest a little longer.SÂ As I
thought this, it occurred to me that I actually could say that, so
I did. He closed his eyes, lay down on his side, and put an arm
around me. With his other hand he played with my bangs, and he
began to softy sing RMariaS again. I was a little disappointed
when he did not kiss me again at the appropriate time in the song.
    Anne returned, pausing in the doorway to look at us only
briefly before turning to open TonyUs closet door, reaching in to
grab two socks from the top of a laundry pile, and then turning
again to throw them at us. RLunch time, sleepy-heads! If we
donUt git now, all the lettuce left in the salad bar will be
floating. Up! Up! ThereUs time enough at night for sleeping!S
    As I sat up her last sentence struck me. Until that moment I
had considered what was happening as a state, like dizziness, not
as an event that might have an end or occur again. I thought of
when I was a young child watching the raindrops dance on the
windows of the car as we drove along: that was another moment so
magical I became lost in it and couldnUt imagine that it happened
every time a car drives in the rain.
    The walk to dining hall was also not a long one, but it was
long enough to break the spell I was under. Leaving the dormitory
it was all I could do to keep myself from skipping, or swinging
around the lampposts out front. But by the time we had our food
and were seated at one of the heavy, wooden tables I had doubted
and redoubted that what had happened was a good thing, that I was
a good person for having enjoyed it, that it should or might ever
happen again. I felt more confused than guilty; people just donUt
go around taking naps together - what had I done?
    Both Tony and Anne must have noticed as we ate for a few
minutes in silence. Anne spoke first. RTroubled thoughts about
this morning?SÂ I nodded yes.
    Anne smiled, and I was struck again by her expression. She
was not laughing at me with that smile. She was again telling me
that we were supposed to be having fun. When she resumed talking,
I could tell she had put these next words together before, for
herself, probably a long time ago. RPeople have two sources for
what is right and wrong: their religion and the customs of the
society they live in. In our case, neither source believes people
can be cuddly but nothing more. Tony, myself, our friends - we
have invented a different game, so it is our right and
responsibility to make up the rules.S
    She waited for a minute, giving me time to think, and I could
also see she was thinking. Then she continued, leaning forward,
whispering conspiratorially, RToo many of the people in this room
confuse affection and intimacy. They confuse closeness and
sexuality. They lead far more interesting and painful lives, and
IUm happier than all of them.SÂ As she said the last sentence she
giggled, then fell back into her chair again.
    Thinking about what she had said, I didnUt notice how AnneUs
face grew daydreamy, or, after a minute, sad. I startled slightly
as she very softly mouthed a sentence: ROnly once did I have sex
for of pleasure, and I lost a friend in a way I hope I never
understand.S She looked entranced. I didnUt think she realized
she spoke out loud.
    TonyUs face looked as startled as I felt upon hearing this
confession. But his look disappeared quickly. He closed his
eyes, and began to recite:
  RThU expense of spirit in a waste of shame
  Is lust in action; and till action, lust
  Is perjured, murdUrous, bloody, full of blame,
  Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
  Enjoyed no sooner but despised straight,
  Past reason hunted, and no sooner had
  Past reason hated, as a swallowed bait
  On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
  Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
  Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
  A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
  Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
  All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
  To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.S
It was clearly one of ShakespeareUs sonnets, but not one we had
discussed in class. Anne appeared to recognize it. She nodded
and said, still somewhat detached, RYes, there are good reasons to
have sex but pleasure is not one of them.S
    An awkward silence then fell over the table, which was broken
after half a minute by the chiming of the campus clock tower. Ten
minutes until class, and I still had to run to my dorm room to
switch which books and notes I had with me! RUh-oh, class time,S
I explained, RUm, thank you, but I should go.SÂ Anne returned from
her reminiscing to smile and say good-bye, and Tony waved as he
watched my leave the dining hall.
    I remember that I arrived at class a minute early, despite
having to go to my dorm room first. I donUt remember anything the
professor said that day. I was too lost in my own thoughts.
    I thought about Anne and brought myself to agree with her
about the napping: it was too odd an activity to be inherently
right or wrong. Then I had doubts: perhaps I was only thinking
this because it freed me from blame? I was not like Anne: to me
life was not a game but a gift from heaven. It is not enough to
avoid doing what is wrong, I should be trying to do what is right. Â
How could something neither right nor wrong fit into my life?
    Then I thought about AnneUs confession and the Shakespeare
poem, and her last comment. What might she think was a good
reason to have sex? Had she done so since she lost that friend? Â
I caught myself thinking these things, and felt embarrassed. Why
should I care? It was none of my business what Anne has done.
    I thought about the students which Anne had referred to in
the dining hall, the fraternity boys that went to drunken parties
on the weekends to try to Rhook upS with someone, the girls I knew
for whom a romance was not about love and planning a future
together but about sex and defining yourself through your
boyfriend. Although I had dreamed or daydreamed about fooling
around I had never considered actually doing so, nor ever had a
moment when my desires came anywhere close to overwhelming my
reason. Why were so many people around me acting on their
desires? I thought about AnneUs phrase, Rfar more interesting and
painful livesS, and wondered if these other people would agree if
they compared their lives to mine. I normally felt I was happy. Â
What if I only felt happy because I am too innocent to be sad? Â
Might I also be too innocent to be happy? There was certainly the
ecstasy of sex which, from what I have heard, I supposed would be
more intense pleasure than I had ever known. There was
childbirth, too, a pain more intense than any I have felt so far. Â
If I was so ignorant of what happiness and pain could be, how
could I assume that the contentness I normally felt with my life
was actual happiness?
    That afternoon I did my studies, but mustering the
concentration to finish just what work was due the next day tired
me out. I ate dinner with my normal circle of friends, but much
of their conversation I ignored as I was again lost in my own
thoughts. After dinner, when my roommate was at choir, I looked
in my poetry book and found the sonnet Tony had recited: number
129. As I reread it, curiosity about Rfar more interesting and
painful livesS grew on me until it dominated my thoughts. It was
then that I used my roommateUs computer to visit this newsgroup. Â
As I mentioned during this storyUs introduction, in my search for
what other people found attractive about sex I found only
ugliness. Repulsed by the images the stories had put in my mind,
I brooded in a wash of emotions, unable to relax or calm my
thoughts. After half an hour I grew fed up with this misery, and
looked up AnneUs room in the student directory. I left to visit
her: her comments put me into this mess, and I could think of no
one else whom I could bring myself to talk to about such things.
    Anne was in her room, alone (she and Tony were juniors and
had singles, while I was a freshman), reading _The Tempest_, which
we would discuss in class next week. Her door was open a bit, and
when I knocked she saw me and invited me in.
    Like Tony she had made a large bed from two mattresses,
although hers were on the floor and her room was much smaller. Â
She was sitting on the bed, sinking into a pile of pillows against
the walls at one corner of the room. She took a pillow from
behind her and tossed it to the opposite corner of the bed,
against a bookshelf. RSit down and relax. You can lean back
against the bookshelf, it wonUt mind,S she prompted. I was happy
to; I was tired and the chairs that come with the dorm rooms are
not very comfortable.
    I closed the door and sat down. She waited for me to say
something. After a minute I began. RItUs not this morning. That
was nice, and like what you said at lunch just a friendly thing to
do.S I stopped, unsure how to go on. My thoughts and emotions
were still all jumbled, and putting words to them within my head
was difficult enough, let alone finding words to describe them to
someone else.
    RWe have but world enough, and time,S Anne offered. I smiled
at the irony of the reference.
    Unable to formulate a new question, I remembered an old one. Â
RMay I ask you something personal?S I asked. Anne shrugged, but
said yes with her eyes. RAfter Tony said the poem at lunch, you
commented about there being good reasons for sex. What are they?S
    Anne grinned, then her face grew serious as she put together
a reply. RI only know what is true for me. All of what was nice
this morning - trust, closeness, warmth, support, affection,
togetherness, friendliness - while these can be communicated
sensually, they can be even more truly communicated sexually. The
Tcan beU is important: it isnUt true most of the time on this
campus. Too many people are acting on lust instead of friendship
when they have sex. They might not realize it. But we can lust
for a stranger more easily than a friend, and if any of that lust
is present during sex than the impersonality is present as well. Â
The good reason you are looking for is the same reason anything is
good: because both people want it to happen. But if they act on
lust instead of friendship, then... it is so intimate than any
impersonal-ness at all spoils everything.S
    Her words, in her voice whose words had dominated my thoughts
all day, gave me something to focus my thoughts on. But how
people felt about sex or each other after having had sex was so
foreign to my life that forming thoughts was like reaching for a
cloud. My face must have shown how strained I felt; Anne said,
RDonUt worry about this, donUt think too hard about it. Any time
you are worried about or thinking too hard about sex means that
youUre doing something you are not ready for.S
    This I could think about. I recalled the books I had read as
a child before I was ready for them. I remembered that the phrase
RYouUre not ready for that bookS had been often said by my parents
but it always was meaningless, because I never understood what
they meant until years later when I reread the book after I was
ready. It had been a long time since I had found myself in this
Rnot readyS state, but I was mature enough to recognize it now. Â
With this realization my head began to clear, as if my
subconscious had recognized defeat and was sending my troubles to
some yet deeper level of pondering that was too far buried to
trouble me.
    As my mind became less jumbled, I realized how tired I was. Â
I imagined weariness waiting in ambush until after the stresses of
the day had left me alone. I yawned, betraying my sleepiness to
Anne.
    RMake yourself comfortable and IUll tell you a story before
you go home,S Anne offered. I tossed my pillow to the other side
of the bed so my head would be nearer to hers and she would not
have to talk as loudly. Anne picked up the pillow from where it
landed and put it on her lap. Somehow being curled up on her lap
like a baby was appealing now. After I had moved, an encouraging
moment passed as I looked up at her, looking down at me and
smiling. Then I let my eyes close and she began the story.
    ROnce upon a time, there was a beautiful maiden, the daughter
of a poor craftsman in a small village. All the young men in the
village wanted to marry her, but she saw they were simpletons and
wanted only her pleasure and to have a house of their own to rule,
so she declined each proposal. One night she had a dream, in
which a dragon offered her a deal: he would take her to his tower
and care for her well, and the finest princes and knights of the
land would try to rescue her; in exchange for introducing her to
these finest of men - honorable, wealthy, brave, and romantic - he
would get to eat her if she was not rescued by the time Winter
arrived and the first snow fell on the tower roof. In her dream,
she accepted.
    RWhen she awoke, she was startled to find herself in the
dragonUs tower, with the dragon outside. He heard her wake, and
snaked his head to rest on the windowsill of her room. TGood
morning, maiden. In this tower you may enjoy all of my treasures:
priceless jewels and rich clothing to wear, magical goblets and
pots that produce never-ending supplies of what you mortals
consider fine food and drink, and other trinkets both mundane and
arcane to amuse yourself with.UÂ Unsure what to do, the maiden
said thank you and left the room to explore the tower and its
contents.
    RAs Spring ended and Summer began, the princes and knights of
the land could rest from supervising the planting of their or
their lordUs lands and ride off in search of adventure. Some
found the dragon and his beautiful maiden held captive in a tower,
but the dragon ate any who approached. They would charge forward
on their mighty horses, and be startled when the dragon did not
charge to fight but instead asked them, TWould you make a good
husband to my maiden?U. THa! I am a prince!U said one, who was
promptly devoured. TWhat might you expect?U answered another, TI
am a knight and am seldom home, and need a wife to care for my
hearth while I am gone.U That one too was eaten. The maiden
grieved for each one (except the gnarled churl who replied,
TMonster! IUll have my way with her as soon as IUve had my way
with you!U: that one she was happy to see dangle, impaled by the
dragonUs tail), but she grieved less and less as the Summer went
on.
    RAfter three weeks, the dragonUs deadliness had become as
legendary as the beauty of the maiden he held captive. The dragon
and the maiden began to notice figures peeking over the top of the
hills a few bow shots away. They would both wave, and the figures
would flee.
    RThe dragon was quite friendly to his captive. His parents
had taught him many puzzling riddles and games with which to
ensnare challengers, should he grow up to be that sort of dragon,
and the maiden never tired of these nor of his stories of his past
exploits and adventures. At one time she even called him, Tfriend
dragonU. At this he laughed and told her no, that he was no
friend; if she was not rescued he was still going to eat her
before he went to hibernate that Winter.
    RThen one hot Summer day a peasant approached the tower,
alone and on foot. TWould you make a good husband to my maiden?U
the dragon asked as the peasant drew near. The question startled
the peasant, as it did all the others, for no one who had heard it
asked had lived. TI do not know her, dragon, so I cannot answer
you question,U the peasant replied.
    RHearing this, the dragon stepped towards the peasant, and
scrutinized him carefully. The peasant stood still as the
dragonUs head moved around him. Finally the dragon stepped back
and turned to address the maiden. THere is a man who might be the
good husband you were dreaming of so many nights ago. You are
free. He has rescued you. Leave all my treasures but one: you
may stay dressed as you are.U
    RThe maiden and the peasant left quickly. She sold the rich
clothing to buy a house in his village, and they were almost
always together. By the time Winter arrived and the first snow
fell she was sure that what she felt for the peasant was more than
gratitude for being rescued, and when the snow had melted and her
love for him was still strong she accepted his silent but constant
offer of marriage.
    RThey decided that the dragon was the wisest person they
knew, and went to the tower to ask him to marry them. The dragon
had returned from his Winter lair that very morning. Famished
with hunger, he ate them both.S
    RWhat!S I sat up and exclaimed. The story was not supposed
to end that way.
    RSorry,S Anne shrugged, RThatUs how the story goes.S
    I fell back into the pillow with a thunk. RThatUs not fair.S
    Anne frowned. RItUs what they got for being so in love that
they felt even a dragon wouldnUt hurt them.S
    I still didnUt like it, but another yawn interrupted my
further protests.
    RGo on home,S Anne said, RYou need your sleep and I still
have reading to do tonight.S
    I was too tired to catch the implication of the second half
of her sentence. I stumbled back to my dorm room, and climbed
into bed. When my roommate asked where I had been, I responded,
RChatting with a friendS. Falling asleep, I realized that despite
how close I felt to Tony after this morning, except for singing
our song and reciting the poem, he had not spoken a word to me
that day.
    The next day I found Tony and Anne at lunch. I joined their
table even though I did not know the other people with them, and
felt very brave as Anne performed introductions. I joined their
conversation, talking about classes and professors, complaining
about dining hall food and brainstorming things to do that
weekend. It was a Friday, and I innocently agreed to join their
weekly Friday Afternoon Frisbee Game on the lawn behind New Dorm. Â
This I found out involved one less frisbee than players, and
everyone was supposed to throw to anyone who was holding a
frisbee: a hectic pace that became completely unreasonable if you
held onto a frisbee for more than a few seconds. Too add to the
confusion, the group chanted Dr. Seuss stories as they played. Â
Anne was completely at ease sing-songing RI will not eat them with
a goat, I will not eat them on a boat...S as she caught and threw
frisbees with apparently effortless grace. Tony could catch them,
but not gracefully, and his aim was embarrassingly off; it was a
treat to see him blushing this time. As a newcomer I was not
expected to be as skilled as the others, and I must say I filled
that role admirably.
    The gang seemed to have some invisible signal to agree to end
the game; all I know is that suddenly everyone else turned towards
me, smiling evilly, and then I was assaulted by a barrage of
frisbees while everyone else cheered and collapsed to the grass.
    Not as exhausted as those that played more intensely, I went
over to where Tony was lying on his back, panting slightly. Â
RDonUt laugh or you might choke,S I told him, as I dropped to
kneeling above him and did my best to imitate AnneUs Cheshire Cat
grin. He didnUt take my advice, and I continued to make faces as
he tried to laugh and pant at the same time. My hair was long
enough to frame his face in a cute kind of way, and within this
illusion of privacy it took a surprising amount of willpower not
to lean down and kiss him or rub noses or something.
    This delightful mood was spoiled by my remembering that,
earlier in the week, I had made plans with a friend to go shopping
after lunch. My motherUs birthday was rapidly approaching, and
for those of us without cars finding presents was especially
tricky.
    RUh oh,S I said, to explain the look of sudden panic on my
face, RI forgot I was supposed to be somewhere an hour ago I
should try and find my friend and apologize.SÂ After a moment I
mustered the courage to add, RWhat are you doing after dinner?S
    Tony turned his head sideways to nibble on my dangling hair
as he thought for a moment. RI donUt have plans, yet. Have an
offer I canUt refuse?S
    I shook my head no, which made him close his eyes. RBut IUll
have thought of one by dinner, I promise. See you then.S
    ROk,S he said, making a silly but happy face. I shook my
hair again, and when he closed his eyes I kissed his nose quickly
before running off, before I might think about what I was doing.
    I went to TonyUs room fifteen minutes before dinner. At
least that was the plan. He and Anne, with some other friends I
had met at lunch and the frisbee game, had claimed the second
floor of one wing of their dorm during room draw last year. I
passed AnneUs room while going to his, and heard them talking.  I
knocked, and Anne opened the door.
    RHello,S Anne sing-songed.
    RHello,S I mimicked.
    RHello.S Tony followed our lead.
    My eyes went to his as I proudly teased, RIUve come up with
the offer you canUt refuse...S. They looked at each other and
then back to me. RDo you have sleeping bags?S I asked.
    Tony nodded his head yes. Anne shook her head no.
    I took two votive candles in glass cups out of my jacket
pockets, and bobbed them slowly back in forth in the air as I
continued. RI have some friends in the Outdoor Club, so I know
they built a raft down at the river this week. I thought we could
go read stories aloud by candlelight on a raft on a burbly river
with the stars above us, and have a campout.S
    Anne looked sad. RThat sounds wonderful, but tonight IUm in
charge of my friend RachelUs surprise birthday party, so I wonUt
be able to go.S
    Tony looked quite wistful. RYouUre right,S he smiled, RItUs
an offer I canUt refuse.S
    Anne glanced at her watch. RUh oh. I should leave to fetch
the cake right now. Have fun, you two. DonUt do anything I
wouldnUt do.S
    RSuch as what?S I asked as she reached into a drawer. She
took out two chocolate mint candies, which she placed in my hand. Â
    RUm, daylight ruins skinny-dipping, so only do that at
night.SÂ She smiled wickedly, and I blushed slightly when I
realized her words had us both picturing me doing such a thing
with Tony . RTony will tell you what the candy is for,S Anne
added as she stepped into her shoes and slipped her purse over her
shoulder RIUll miss you both. Good night! Have fun while IUm
with Rachel! Partying is such sweet sorrow.S Then she bounced
from her room and down the hallway.
    I put the candles and candies in my pockets, and turned to
face Tony. He took my hands in his. RDid you have in mind a book
to read?S he asked.
    RNo, R I smiled, RI thought we could decide on one together,
over dinner.S
    Still holding my hands, he slowly spread his arms up to the
sides. This pulled me forward; I giggled and tried to keep my
balance but was as happy when IÂ eventually had to step forward. Â
He looked down at me and kissed my nose. I realized he was not
thinking about his arms any more, so I leaned against him and put
our hands at the small of his back. I squeezed this awkward
embrace for a moment, then let go of his hands.
    The clock tower chimed, reminding us of dinner. The line of
students before the dining hall doors was lengthening as we looked
at each otherUs faces for a moment, and then left the room.
    Dinner and the drive to the river went quickly. My thoughts
were too much on later that evening. Here I was, about to spend
the night alone with a boy. And not just that, but far off in the
woods and with romantic candle light. What was I thinking? What
was I doing? We decided to read each other our favorite passages
from _The Princess Bride_. When we had left the dining hall and
gone to TonyUs room, he asked if I would mind if he slept in only
his boxer shorts, and I said no. He told me the candies Anne had
given me were to eat when we woke up, so we wouldnUt be disgusted
by each otherUs morning breath. RYou donUt think hotels started
putting mints on peopleUs pillows for desserts, do you?S
    That evening was wonderful. IUd rather not tell you anything
about it, and just hoard it myself as a treasure. But what went
through my mind as we fell asleep is important for the story IUm
telling, so IUll share it. The reading was the best part, anyway,
and that part is still mine to have and to hold.
    We both had many favorite parts of _The Princess Bride_; it
was quite late by the time we decided to stop reading and try to
sleep. I think that as we read we both decided it would be nicer
to sleep sharing a sleeping bag instead of in our two separate
ones. In any case I asked Tony to join me and he did. He was
dressed in his boxer shorts and I was wearing a very large shirt
(and underwear, of course). The wearing little clothing had
worried me at first, but I decided it was cold outside and it
would be so nice to be warm and cozy and holding each other.
    In one sleeping bag it was trickier to both get comfortable,
especially on a rocking raft. Eventually we had nice positions
figured out. I squirmed out of the sleeping bag a bit to blow out
the candles, then returned to fall asleep comfortably. Tony
gently played with my hair for a moment, kissed my forehead
briefly, and whispered, RGood night, Mary.S
    RGood night,S I wished back. I kissed him on the cheek.
    After ten or fifteen minutes Tony had fallen asleep. Â
Although I also was tired, I could not fall asleep quite so
easily. Besides wanting to stay awake to enjoy holding Tony,
besides wanting to kiss him again, I again became plagued by
worries. I was falling asleep with a boy. Tony and I were not
even girlfriend-boyfriend; we had never even told ever each other,
RI love you.S. I expected lightning to strike the raft at any
moment. But when I quieted my mind, all I could hear in the night
was cricket chirping and the soothing lapping of the water on the
raft. The world took no notice of what we were doing. All I
could feel was Tony, held against me by the sleeping bag, one of
his arms behind him and the other arm holding me. Oh, hold me,
Tony, hold me, for IUm a grown up and do not want to be.
    In the morning Tony was enormously happy. He awoke before I
did. When I woke up he was looking at me, smiling brightly. He
kissed me cheek and said, RGood morning,S in a very cheerful
voice.
    I hugged him tightly and brushed my cheek against his. Then
I yawned, RCome on, climb out of bed. Two people in one sleeping
bag is quite warm. I feel sweaty and sticky; if we hadnUt brought
our swimsuits I might even be tempted to prove Anne wrong about
sunlight and skinny-dipping.S
    IUm someone who normally takes nice hot showers after waking
up. Washing in the cold river with Tony woke me up much more
thoroughly. Kissing more also helped.
    When we had arrived back on campus we said goodbye until
dinnertime. Tony went to finish an art project and I went to wrap
my motherUs present (my friend had taken my shopping the afternoon
before - my, that seemed so long ago!).
    At dinnertime I went to find Tony in his room. All day long
I had been glowingly happy, and when I opened his door and he saw
me and spoke, ROh! Mary!S and stepped to me and held me it took me
a moment to realize something was wrong. There had been pain in
his voice and I could feel it quivering in his arms and back as he
held me.
    I shifted how I stood so I could see his face, and asked,
RWhatUs wrong?S
    He took a deep breath, and I saw he was crying - not the way
I do, there was only one tear was on his cheek, but his expression
had changed from just being troubled to holding so much pain that
I remember doubting I had ever felt that sad.
    He failed to smile, took a another deep breath, and
whispered, ROh, must we all cry before the day ends?S
    His words made no sense to me, but looking at his face like
that I hardly noticed. I had completely forgotten about the
glowing happiness that had been with me all day. He hugged me
tightly for a moment, and then took a half step back so we were
only holding hands. Then he squeezed my hands and let them go
too.
    RMary, something happened today, and... you and I, it canUt
work anymore.S
    His face was still so much pain, and I had been caught up in
it, but as he paused after RandS I felt my own pain approaching
and now bearing them both and looking at his eyes there was
nothing else. I guess I couldnUt even think about standing,
because I was falling, and Tony caught me, and picked me up for a
second time and he sat down on the edge his bed and I was sitting
next to him with my legs on his lap and I cried into his shoulder
and chest for long time. At first, for a long time, he was just
holding me and crying too, but by shaking and not with tears. Â
Then, finally, he grew calmer and his arms became strong again and
he stroked my hair and neck until I stopped crying too. I didnUt
look up at his face until then. A part of me didnUt want to be
crying and to see him not crying; that wouldnUt be as together.
    My voice was soft as it broke the silence. RPlease tell me,S
I asked.
    Tony took another deep breath. RWhen I came back here from
the art building I stopped by AnneUs room to say hi and ask about
how the birthday party went. I could hear she was crying from
outside her door. I went in. She was sitting on her bed. Then
she looked up at me, and leapt at me, pounding her fists against
my chest. I hadnUt recovered from the shock before she stopped
and was clinging-hugging me and crying even louder.S
    Tony stopped talking and looked me. RIUm sorry, Mary, I
never knew.S
    We looked at each other for a while. IUm not sure if it took
me a minute to figure everything out because I didnUt want to, or
because I was looking at him, or because IUm just that slow.
    RTell me more,S I asked. RStart from the beginning.S
    RI donUt know what to say. WeUve known each other for years,
since high school. IUve never had a girlfriend, but she had two
boyfriends during high school. Almost from the start we were like
we are now, with being so comfortable together and cuddly and all
that. That she too could be someone so open about all that but so
afraid to say the word love...S
    We were both about to cry again. He stopped talking, and
held me tight. ROh, Mary, Mary... YouUre such a wonderful person. Â
Thank you so much for all you have taught me and helped me see. I
havenUt said I love you, but I can. I love you. There; itsU
true. But I hardly know you. What I feel for you must deserve to
be called love. But it is so much attraction and chemistry and
how well spending time together. All weUve been through in the
past few days, I so enjoyed it and so hoped it would become
something fit for forever. But other feelings already are.S
    I was crying and we were holding each other and I could feel
in the hugging how everything he said was true. The Rfit for
foreverS part scared me: he was the first person I really felt in
love with and I didnUt know what he meant. That there existed a
love even more wonderful than how I felt for him enticed my mind,
but was unable to comfort my tears. I didnUt know what to do. Â
But the holding and hugging was warm and I let it continue and
soothe me.
    We stayed like that until dinner was over, even after I had
stopped crying. Neither one of us said anything. Then clock
tower rang. The bells reminded me of time, and time reminded me
how happy I had been all day. I stood up and smiled at Tony, who
again tried to smile but failed. I looked down at his face (he
was still sitting on the edge of the bed), then kissed his
forehead. We looked at each other a minute more. Then I ran a
finger down his cheek, ruffled his hair, and left his room.
    Thinking about bells and time and how happy I had been all
day had told me what to do. I checked my jacket: the candles were
still there. I took them out and held them. They were lighter
than when I held them last night; that seem appropriate somehow. Â
I went the few doors down and across the hall to AnneUs room, and
knocked. She opened the door, and I quickly held out the candles
and said, RHere, TonyUs talked to me and youUre the one who needs
these now.S Anne did not look her normal, bouncy self. She
looked like she had been crying a lot. I realized I must look
that way too.
    RThank you,S she said. Her voice was not steady as she
spoke. I reached out and hugged her, as best I could while
holding the candles. She slowly moved her arms and then hugged me
back, tightly. Then I realized that when I had assumed Tony and
Anne had said so much more to each other than what Tony had
related to me, or that Anne had come back from dinner, that these
were only assumptions.
    I let go of Anne and pressed the candles into her hands. Â
RThereUs another person needing hugs sitting on the edge of TonyUs
bed. Go and hold him and cradle his head in your breasts and even
if it seems years too late donUt say youUre sorry for anything.S
    Then I turned and ran back to my own dorm and my own room,
without looking back. I think I heard Anne crying as I went, but
it might have been me.
    For breakfast the next morning I went to the dining hall by
Tony and AnneUs dorm. Falling asleep had taken a very long time. Â
But by the time it happened I had thought about everything enough
that I thought seeing Anne and Tony making each other happy would
make me happy.
    I expected them to show up much later than normal and
together. But, not much later than normal, Anne arrived alone. Â
As she carried her tray of food to my table I saw she was angry. Â
I was about to ask her what was wrong, but she started talking as
soon as she set down her tray.
    RHe left! This morning I woke up and he was finishing
getting dressed! I look at him hurt and confused, and ask him to
come back and talk, but he said he couldnUt and left! After all
this time and it turns out heUs no better than all the rest of
them! Men!S
    RShh. Calm down,S I asked. Most of the people around us
were staring at her. And I couldnUt think at all about how to
help her while she was yelling.
    RHumph! Blah!,S she spat, and threw herself into her chair. Â
She looked down at her food briefly, and then looked at me, then
stared at the table.
    We both sat in silence for a few minutes, looking at the
table but not touching our food. I thought of what to do.
    RHyagh!S I yelled, leaping from my seat towards her, sticking
out my tongue, throwing my arms out and knocking my cup of water
over and across the table.
    Anne screamed and leapt backwards in her chair. Then she
glared at me. RWhat was that for?S
    RI just wanted you also to have felt scared this morning.S I
sat back down and tried to take a bite of my breakfast as if
nothing had happened.
    AnneUs not as slow as I am. I counted only two seconds
before she muttered a profanity and bolted back towards the dorm.
    By now everyone in this room of the dining hall was looking
at me. I donUt think I knew any of them; this wasnUt where I (or
any of the freshmen) normally ate. And even if I had known anyone
I donUt think I would have cared right then. I picked someone
random girl looking at me and smiled a Cheshire Cat smile at her,
took AnneUs cup of juice from her tray, and then happily finished
my breakfast.
    After breakfast I went to Tony and AnneUs hallway. I would
be late for history in five minutes, but I didnUt care if I missed
the class entirely. I had often wondered earlier that year why so
few other freshmen were like me and never missed classes. Before
I had assumed they were lazy and slept through them. Now I
wondered if their Rmore interesting and painful livesS were
responsible.
    Walking through the dorm to their hall, I was not sure if I
would find them in TonyUs room or in AnneUs. I went to TonyUs
room first and knocked on his door.
    At that moment the guyUs bathroom door opened. They both
came out: Tony was wearing just his towel and was carrying Anne,
who was wearing only a big towel with TonyUs neighbor MitchUs name
on it.
    Tony smiled at me. RGood morning, Mary! Would you mind
opening my door and leading us in? My hands are full.S
    I was very confused but happy that they were happy, so I
opened the door and went in. Tony set Anne on the edge of his bed
and sat next to her. I took a chair by his desk.
    Anne, bouncy again, giggled at me. RSo, you want the story?S
she asked.
    RUm, if you wouldnUt mind,S I replied.
    RThank you for at breakfast, first,S she said. Tony nodded. Â
RSo I come back to find him but heUs not in his room. I hear that
someone is in the menUs shower, so I peek in to the bathroom and
his towel isnUt on the rack. So I say real loud, TTony, itUs
Anne. I wonUt say anything until you do but I want to just hold
you for a while.U Then I undressed and went in with him. He had
the water turned on awfully hot, I guess as some sort of attempt
at being hugged...S
    RMcBeth syndrome,S I interrupted. RFeeling guilty and trying
to wash himself.S
    Anne smiled back at me. RAnyway, so we hold each other and
are showered on for a while, and eventually he says, TThank you,U
and I tell him about at breakfast, and then we got out and dried
off and came out and met you.S
    RTa da,S beamed Tony.
    RHm.S I said. I couldnUt think of anything else to say. Â
Then I decided to tell them a story whose idea I had made up over
breakfast.
    RAll right, you two,S I began, trying to sound matronly,
RitUs time for your story. IUll turn my back while you two get
under the covers.S
    After they had gotten in bed I moved my chair beside them. Â
HereUs the story I told them. I was almost making it up as I went
then, so this version will have better grammar and maybe better
wordings.
    ROnce upon a time there was a couple named Tom and Nancy. Â
They were walking in the park one day when they found a baby
dragon. TWe canUt leave the poor thing to starve!U said Nancy. Â
So they decided to take care of the dragon, and took it home.
    RDragons are naturally greedy. As it grew, it demanded more
and more of their time and energy. First Nancy had to give it
most of her jewelry to nest on. Then they had to put most of
their homeUs decorations in the attic, for the dragon would wreck
things as it learned to fly. It also ate a lot, and as it grew
(dragons actually grow up very quickly, despite what some stories
say) it ate more and more. Soon it was eating a tremendous amount
of food.
    RTom and Nancy new that the dragon would never survive on its
own; it had become too spoiled. And they felt quite attached to
it. But they could see it was ruining them. They never spent the
evenings holding each other and talking in front of the fireplace
anymore. They never went on walks through the park or along the
beach. All they did was care for the dragon.
    RTWhat shall we do?U asked Nancy one night. She was crying
and Tom could not help her.
    RThen they heard a knock at the front door. Tom answered the
door, and saw a wandering holy woman. TI have heard your plea,U
she said. TPoor people, you should know there are no such things
as dragons. It is something else disguised by a curse.U The holy
woman went over to the dragon, and said, TBy the mercy of God,
begone foul curse!U
    RThe dragon cried out, and fell to the ground. It rolled and
thrashed about, and before their eyes it changed. It shrunk, and
grew more human. When the restoration was complete, an angel lie
on the floor: thin, starved, weak, and barely glowing. Tom and
Nancy cried, TOoh!U and held hands, for the angel was more
beautiful than anything they had ever seen before. The holy woman
wept, for she had also never before seen an angel.
    RThe holy woman then told Tom and Nancy, TAngels are not like
dragons. The curse has made this one weak. Nurse it tenderly
back to health. But unlike the dragon it will fly back to where
it belongs once it has regained its strength. Yet it will
remember your tenderness, and visit you when you call to it, so
again you can share the glory of its presence.
    RAnd thatUs what happened. The end.S
    I smiled at Tony and Anne and they smiled back at me. I
kissed them both on the forehead, sighed, and then scritched their
bangs before leaving.
                              The End

"Untitled"
So many months of searation
It feels the length of a lifetime
And a few minutes more.
The telephone rings bedie my bed
(You remember the one, don't you?)
And your voice responds a 'hello'
From somewhere deep in the outside world.
Your voice makes my knees weak,
But then again, it always has.
Falling to the bed, I finally respond.
A short conversation later
And I am running to meet you
For a day of reminiscing
and a kiss.
I suppose it was inevitable,
And I should have seen it coming.
We embrace, as a friendly hello
Pull back hesitantly,
And draw one another close again,
This time not to say 'hello'
But rather 'I miss you'.
It seemd to last forever,
That embrace, until we kissed.
It was then I discovered
The length of eternity,
For it had been just that long
Since last I touched those lips.
Feelings I thought long-since dead
Sprung to life, as vibrant as ever.
Emotion running strong through our veins,
Passions overtook us.
This memory plays again each night
As I prepare to go to sleep,
A new, different phone to the right nof me,
And your body, so loving, to the left.
(c) 1995.

I'm not sure if I've posted this or not but...
Thousand Points of Hate
The earth shakes, rumbles, convulses.
A being of pure violence and hate is
created at the joining of a thousand lights.
Transcending time and space he enters me.
My thoughts no longer mine,
my actions no longer mine, but his.
I cast him out. An exorcism of the soul.
The earth shakes, rumbles, convulses.
A being of pure violence and hate is cast out.
The earth stops its violent tremors.
The dust settles.
He stands before me smiling,
as I look at myself.

Christopher Street
by Kirk Read
I went looking,
looking for the vision on Christopher Street.
I walked past Tiffany's and Ty's,
Village Cigars and the Duplex.
Boots and Saddle at 3:15 AM,
where there were lots of boots, baby,
but not much saddle.
I walked on the pier,
saw a guy passed out getting fucked
like a wife who doesn't care anymore.
Past the man saying "Hot shrooms, man."
Past the cops passing a joint
on the corner of Hudson.
Past lilies and carnations that will turn to dust
like the love of the sender.
Past a chihuahua running for its life.
Past muscle boys and leathermen,
cabbies desparate for a fare,
and men desparate for a kiss,
lightly, on the forehead.
But the cabbies will settle for paltry tips
and the men for paltry affections.
What the cabbies end up with occasionally pays the rent on time,
but there's rarely enough to pay the heart's rent.
A mortgage that goes neglected month after month,
too many of us evicted before owning
even the slightest bit of ourselves.
This is a desolate place of endless searching,
futile attempts at intimacy,
which make us morning dew in a cobweb,
paralyzed in our disconnection.
Finally I sat in front of the Stonewall,
on a blue police barricade
that sits discreetly alone on the corner,
a lone reminder that we still need to be protected,
and I wonder
Do we need to be protected by the cops or from the cops?
The cops are all on the corner of Hudson and Christopher,
stoned out of their skulls.
How many of the people walking past me are dying,
and is the vision I seek dying with them?
This vision of love and commitment to living,
not anger and infighting.
A vision of justice, where everyone wins.
Not a righteous fight,
where we all want to be the most correct,
the most authentic, the most principled.
People keep asking "Where is your rage?"
"Where is your anger?"
Why is anger our strongest source of energy?
Can we act out of our love for those
we've lost and those yet to leave us?
Can we summon our desire to be loved
by parents, friends, children, strangers?
And is our love enough?
At the Quilt I cried not because of the people stitched into eternity,
not because of the seamsters
who buried their dead in graves of fabric.
I cried because I saw mothers wandering through a maze of sons
embalmed forever in patches of cotton.
Mothers who never knew their sons
until words of premature goodbye
fell off tongues like grenades.
So where is the vision?
It's not in the porno room at the Stonewall
or in the piano strings at the Monster
or in the boxes of empty bottles being dragged out by barboys,
or in the eyes of men who drag their eyes over the sidewalk.
Where is the vision?
Where can I go to find it?
Where can I sit with coffee
and talk to a waitress with all the answers?
Where will the lightning strike to deliver me
from confusion in a moment of total clarity?
It's vision I'm looking for
here on Christopher Street.
It's love these fading souls seek
here on Christopher Street.
Dawn is approaching fast
and I wonder when these two lost lovers will meet,
vision and love.
When will they realize that they are the same,
the vision is love,
the love is vision.
These desparate men,
cruising for someone,
anyone, anyone.
They fill the streets with the blood of siamese twins
torn apart. Love, Vision.
Ripped apart by neglect.
We think that love is out there,
to be found like a cereal box on a shelf just out of reach.
We think if we step on the right brick
it will rise through the sidewalk in a mist,
that if we find the right stranger love will materialize
like the ghost of Hamlet's Dad.But we will never find love.
There is none to be found.
Love can only be created by us, nurtured and harvested,
sown and reaped like a gentle wheat that covers
every bit of land for miles.
We farm this crop until we are unable
to tell where love tapers off into flatland.
Until we no longer remember
what flatland looks like.
Until the delicate grain of love
rises to the heavens,
swallowing us in its ascent.
Love is the discovery,
vision is the commitment.
Anger is a one ni
ght stand.These men, cruising for love.
I, cruising for vision.
I guess we're looking for the same thing.
I guess we're all looking for the same thing.

THE SUFFERING PRINCE
Picture yourself
tied to a tree,
Condemned of the sins
of eternity.
Then picture a spear
parting the air,
Seeking your heart
to end your despair.
Suddenly--a knight,
in armor of white,
Stands in the gap
betwixt you and it's flight.
And shedding his
'Armor of God' for you
--Bears the lance
that bore him through
His heart has been pierced
that yours may beat,
And the blood of his corpse
washes your feet.
Picture yourself
in raiment white,
Cleansed by the blood
of the lifeless knight
Never to mourn
the prince who was downed,
For he is not lost!
it is you who are found.

*I cried out to God*
SHOW ME YOUR FACE
and GOD sent me a CHILD
I learned SURRENDER
As I gave way to the surgers of birthing energy
I leaned COMPASSION
As my little one's cry pierced my heart
I learned POWERLESSNESS
As I laid awake with my inconsolable infant
I learned FAITHFULNESS
Rocking my feverish baby due and night waiting for healing
I learned PATIENCE
As my child asked me to do it agian just one more time
I leaned a FIERCENESS in love
That could take me to death to defend my sweet child
I learned TOLERANCE
Accepting my self enough to love my child in a fit of tantrum
I learned KINDNESS
As my tears were kissed away by tiny lips
I leanred RESPECT
As i wondered at the profound wisdom of one so small
I learned HUMILITY
Seeing the divine in the eyes of my child
GOD ANSWERED MY CRY
KNOW WHO I AM
As you love your child, so it is that I love you.

Subject : insights: Two immigrants' tale...
Written : 04/04/96.12:41am
Aldous Huxley wrote in _The Doors of Perception_:
"We live together, we act on, and react to, one
another; but always and in all circumstances we
are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand
into the arena; they are crucified alone.
Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their
insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence;
in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is
doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations,
feelings, insights, fancies -- all these are private
and, except through symbols and at second hand,
incommunicable. We can pool information about
experiences, but never the experiences themselves.
From family to nation, every human group is a society
of island universes."
That prompted me to write this earlier today:
=============================================================================
My parents first came to this country in the late 60s. Like most
immigrants they wanted a better life for themselves and they thought that
they would find it away from Ecuador in the good ol' US of A. At this
time there was a lot of drug use in this country and my parents did not
understand this at all. They viewed drugs as a great evil to society and
to the mind -- they could not understand the concept of using chemicals
to expand their conciousness. Since they had to work hard to make a living
for themselves, their value for leisure is very small. They bought into the
great American Protestant ethic of "hard work and no play". They did
everything in their power to advance their English skills and their
education in order to attain a higher socioeconomic status.
Even though I admire my parents greatly for going from newly arrived kids
in Chicago to financially secure adults in Miami, I do think that they
are way too selfless. They rarely have time for themselves and all their
efforts are directed towards the greater good of the family. I doubt my
parents even view themselves as individuals outside the family setting/role.
I'd like to do everything my parents have done and more if possible, with
the exception of allowing time and space for myself. I want to be part
of the whole while still retaining "me" somewhere in the picture.
=============================================================================
Just my mad rambblings,
Peter Cevallos

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray thou cometh in my sleep.
Alas, what yonder waits!
Fear not what wonders await!
For dreams can be a wonderous break.
To create an end to a long and tortured day.
