Employment

I wrote this out of frustration with job searching...



Overwhelmed and underprepared
Or well prepared and overlooked
Never given a chance
Never given a second glance
Always deemed unnecessary

Sunk in an overcrowded pool
Submerged and splashing about
Trying to catch a break
To pull myself out of the wake
Grabbing hold of something solid

Will my fingers falter and slip?
Will I fall back to the waters?
It's only one false move
But I've got something more to prove
I am going to make my mark

My footprint in the sands of life
My light will shine above the rest
And I will find my place
I'll finally be given space
To share my gifts with the world



...And now I have two jobs!!

Cupid's Arrow Stings

Valentine's Day came and went

Another day on the calendar is spent



Many I love you's were said

People's carnal desires were often fed



And now the rain drips slowly

The flip side of the coin bared open to see



Life's not all hugs and kisses

Look to reality and hear what it says



Whispered hopes drop quietly

And seek safe havens, wherever they may be

DISCLIAMER: I wrote this when I was in a very dark place. I don't like to go there often.

Dangerous Flirtations

Unfulfilled, underfed
By life, by your love,
Am I better off dead?
Fly away little dove.

I am a mess you see.
My life is chaos.
Could I just cease to be?
I feel there is just cause.

The ground it slips away.
And I just don't care.
Will I rejoice the day
When I die in my lair?

I make the days go by.
Dates, I rarely keep.
I do things on the sly,
Like drink myself to sleep.



I'd like to lock the door
On these dark secrets.
To be happy once more,
And to not have regrets...

New Approaches

I always write on paper.

Then transcribe it to the webpage.

Something kinda old school

In this new age.

Today I'll try something new.

I'll cut out the middle man.

Communicate more directly

The best way that I can.

DEATH BY CUTENESS!!!!!!!

Sometimes we all need to be reminded of the simple pleasures and joys in life.

Dress Up

Like I said, my photography's always blurry.

But here goes anyway...

I like getting new clothes.

Especially when they are free
Hand me downs from friends

They're always so good to me
I like playing dress up
Pampering myself just for fun
And showing all my friends
My gratitude is never done

Lou Lou

Little Lucy Lou,

I love you, it's true.

All the things you do

Make me smile when blue.

Just don't eat my shoe.

And we'll be straight boo.

Another dadaist word collage poem

Still Divorcing ED

Obsession

Burning calories,

Diets, work outs.

Want to lose the weight?

Size matters.

Plump?

Look thinner!

Look younger!!

Like models.

Who wore it better?

Over the top exercises.

Private Practice.

Craving less waist.

To get theat bikini body.

Messages

That you are getting,

They're fatal myths.

Not normal.

You've sad secrets,

Obsessions.
All eyes on

What she's hiding.

You can't avoid anymore.

Stop the hurting.

Stand up and go.

The wonders of life are waiting.

Break out, get the help

That you need.

And nourish your soul.

Celebrate

You,

Beautiful.

Discover

Reality.

Refresh the joy.

Girl, be happy in your skin.

Don't fight against

Your moving on,

Reconnecting with the strong you!

Atraction in A Minor

Bipolar Pirate

I got a jagged edge,

Crazy and wild me.

I'm not perfect I pledge,

Cause I'm a pirate, you see.




Blue surrounds me, the sea.

Snarls curse at my lips.

My strands wild as can be.

Emotion goes up, then it dips.




Eyes afire with passion,

Try to seek shelter.

To hide in it, I run.

It's hard being a trail blazer.

Wierdo

I don't know, but
I'ma kill somebody
For this act right here
Was I not
Invited?

I don't care cause
I feel so good right now
After your embrace
Am I here
Unguided?

I'm alright now
Becuase I got just cause
I'm a wierdo
Do you like
But, despite?

Sitting Thinking

I think that this is your artist's pad
From which you create your delights

I think that you've got it real bad
When you are ready to fly kites

But I like the way that you've got it
Like I could think anything less

But sitting here where I always sit
In the midst of all this great mess

I think that I'll always be like this
Broken and battered, i give up

Unless I have your sweet kiss
And render this all a hiccup

Whimsy

Baby let's go outside in the cold
Where we never know which way to go
And our toes all freeze in the snow
But somehow it never gets old

Baby let's play a make believe game
Where the fun times are always brand new
Cause I like to be around you
When having a plan's not the aim

Baby let's stay in bed all day long
And freely entertain each other
All my fears are purely dither
When I stay here where I belong

This One's For You

Great Golly Gosh Gee Willigers.
Hey you, come here.
I'm talking to you.
Great Golly Gosh Gee Willigers.
I want you near.
I like what you do.
Great Golly Gosh Gee Willigers.
Don't have to fear
I love you, it's true
Great Golly Gosh Gee Willigers.

Green waters glide galliantly over the falls

Crashing colors form an icy froth

I empathize with the confusion

Nature's simplicity bound neatly by walls




Snow sleepily watches the surrounding scene

A blanket quieting the chaos

Cold and crisp, the air cuts to the quick

The juxtoposition is oddle serene

A Singular Cig

Warm velvet curls in circles around me
Tickling embers touch my every cell
Like sinking under the waters of a warm bath
Its weight pressing me into submission
Frost bites at my extremities
Reminding me of reality

Stop

I want to stay here forever
My limbs leaden with relaxation
I linger just a little longer in limbo
Then muster a semblance of standing
Words, worlds wobblling wierdly around me
I wonder hazily, happily
What is reality?
Movement weakens my grasp on the passing whimsy
Will I return for future fantastical escapes?
Deliciously devilish delights

I wonder
My mind wanders
Body wants
But brain bursts in to breate me
I wonder
Who will win this battle--body, brains, beliefs?
All I know
Is I enjoyed every ounce of it
While it lasted...

Dadaism isn't dead--I made this from word collaging

New Views

You CAN go home again!
Give it your best shot.
(Actually mean this)
Mission: Triumph.
Agenda: You.
Focus.
Go there.
Influence power, new views, real solutions.
Confront perplexing reality.
Humor and imagination have awesome effects.
Sense a vision of the future--
You.
The only light you'll ever need.

Flower of Hope

Petals peel back gently, with kind caresses.
Some fall aways voluntarily.
The fragil folds
Hold a heart glimmering gold.
Whispered words
Bring gusts that send its glitter sailing.

In the shimmering sun, pollen shines with hope--
Of life begun anew, love that's true.
Where winds wander
I can only ponder.
This I know--
The flower has found its purpose.

birds and the bees, dogs and cats in trees, love lives and things such as these

Baby maybe this poor cat is hissing.
That kitten's always underfoot, licking her paws
I think she likes you..
She won't leave.
And you're wearing a button up?
It's nice.
Then this purring whirling stirs the air.
Her voice so way down low you can barely hear her.
So fucking fancy and feline.
The fierce flirty flick of a feminine tail.
Fiasco.
Baby maybe I don't care.
One faltering footfall,
And you leap into the lion's den.
I'll let go--less is more with you.
I keep a canine.
A constant.

Your Kiss

Lemon lingers languidly on my lips.
Remnants of the sultry citrus burst--
Your kiss.
A dull ache, my hunger for more is endless.
Voila and velvet revolves around me.
I escape into oblivion.
My bliss.
Sometimes this sunshine burns away the darkness.
