Hey...here's one of my little poems:

i have shorn the quilt of
deep intentioned care
for the blustery hide of excitement
i watched with resolve and
befuddled rapture while my
lover left me in new england
and i bore the elements
of intoxicated passions
only to find myself
on an unvaccumed rug, naked with
bicardi limon snug upon my breast
i have ran wildly about on
rampages fit for tyrants
and benders fit for no one
i have clenched my happy endings
and squeesed, spit, stomped
upon their unrealized legacies
i have grown thirsty from
pizza, beer, cigarettes and mornings
i saw them all bow their heads
in remorse they never deserved to feel
waving white flags
at my slanted brows, my pursed lips
the pinched parchment of my eyes, my words
in hazy mind i betrayed life
denounced hope, empowered no one
dethroned only myself
i had to have no on to realize
that
everyone does not exist
that iw ould not rule the the universe from
a throne devoted to curls and muscles
and one does not obtain real beauty any way
until they've seen the ugliest
of their own past being
one can not love oneself
until they've made it around
the spectrum
hated, despised, abhorred
a demon within
to slay piecemeal edges
to embrace one's potential again
