day by day the disenchantment worsens
i'm finding myself unable to go on
not merely caught in indecision
i lack the strength to end it all
nor can i see the colors that used to feed me
my dreams, my happiness, my freedom
the meager sustenance
that neither nourish nor diminish
there's no fear here nor faith
i'm walking on a thin line
with my eyes wide open
my steps never faltering
and never sure

31 January 2007
rubber schmucky you're the one
what with all of my thoughts and essentialities
blow away.
your plaster cast face melts
and the emptiness was filled with your powder
someone wrote poetry about you
and your pale smile
i read it. and you go paler
because you're unsmiling
and your name isn't schmuck
beautiful beautiful schmuck it says
so beautiful it hurts to look at you
the ghost of your pale lips lifting at the corners
and the uncertainty of the liquid movement
they stump me
you remind me of blinking at a 3D poster
you grip my head to see only you
what of colors
what of the sun
to me there's just you
and i thought all i wanted was an English butler
oh, my boy papipap
should i dance on your lap?
should i bribe the pale moon
to carve your heart out with a spoon?
i am paralyzed with indecisions
i am affronted with inspirations
to skin you alive and let you bleed
to suck you senseless and lick you dead
which would you rather be?
a poem more lovely than a tree?
or that discarded pristine pointed piece of stick
i would love to prolificly pick my teeth with
you're that marauding mealy mammoth of a maggot
feeding on my rotting crumbling sack of sanity
that one shiny glistening bit of cherry
essential to every man's sundae
my ardent yearning, my exquisite pining
my moron of a heart resigning
to this fate wth the moon aligning
taking me to ecstatic throes of passionate maligning
3 am muse
wide-eyed and honey brown
innocence that deceives
they can show so much and reveal nothing
and i lie here drowning in saline confusion
you still roseate my world
fingerpainting walls in grayish pink
whispering with your cupid's bow lips
promises of lilac rapture
words rushing to hide
behind the purple shadows
of your fickle unfeeling heart
something this beautiful and disappointing
and i am overcome with yearning
i see you smile
and i see the face i've been trying to unmask
in all my happy ending dreams
still as elusive and unmoved
by my futile chasings
like fluttering gossamer butterflies
fading towards the dawn
diluting by the light of the day
and i stand here bewitched and befuddled
barely able to contain the beating of my heart
like so many silver bells
mingling with the echoes of your sweet voice
and the saccharine promises they fail to sanctify
