how very real pain is
and when we live there on a daily basis
how perfectly the frame fits
constraining so tightly
to bind once freshly opened minds
now brainless.

if you love there you are dying
and we can't be that
my mother tells me there are too many meadows with flowers there-blooming
my brother tells me that there are too many dancehalls with music i've never heard- booming
and i figure that i have to live
to dance
to smell and see
free

i have moved too much to be a picture framed
and live a life no one will ever think to blame me for
live out in the sun free and ashamed and before
i ever stop each day to wake up to pain
i'll stop to say again
if you love here you are dying

i wrote this while you were in the other room pretending to love me. and yes, this is before i found out.

you are not my dream
we're living in a world of gold gleam
completely ficticious
not to mention too damn delicious
but my dream would never feed me sugar coated gimmicks
no
my dream would never be a man of wayward persistance
yet you taste so good
and you hurt so bad.

i have had
big bright closed eyes for you
the kind only known from sleep
the kind that put you in too deep
and on knees praying for alarm clocks

but nothing but hours
seconds and tick tocks
your hands have been around me
drawing me closer
nothing but hours seconds and tick tocks
i can't even stop to count because
it would make me hate myself in hindsight.

touch me
truthfully
fully and feel me and fill me
i want to live in a world with you
where worth is measured in soft mouths and fingertips
where symphonies are created by whispers and breathlessness
a time that just is.

understand that i cannot feel your face if you wear that mask
and so i ask
to touch me truthfully
because when i scream God knows that i feel him.

slick talk and smooth walk will not beget this love
not will any pre-manufactured images
my <3 will come to a man who is what he says he is
his real story will be found in his skin
and you will find my lips there
kissing every scar
sir i love u because u are what you say tou are
right now
at this very minute
truthfully

she said
if you can't get it from your own daddy
get it from someone elses.


one week away from daddy's day
and i don't have too much to say in the way of
appreciation
thank you for that split second it took to shoot yr. semen
creating an angel while battling your own inner demons
and from that time that i could think well enough to place the broken pieces
i've always questioned yr. lack of communiication.

she said
if you can't get it from yr. own daddy
get it from someone elses

so now daddy tell me how it feels to know
these nasty little boys can tell you
yr. own daughter's favorite color
that you were never there to hear
simply based upon the matching bra and thong set that she wears
that of course
he bought for her
and he gets to peel off
the same baby skin so soft that you've changed just a couple times before
handing her off swift
to aunty sister grandma
because you were too much a man for
that baby changing shit.

now her once small fingertips hungrily caress a dick
however premature
she stares intently into the eyes of a man who
can never give her much more than what she holds in her hand
yet sweet daughter
yearns for
more.
and in this second he does not exist to her
he serves as nothing but the answer to her question mark
he merges dad and daughter in a fantasy torn apart

he says to call him daddy
and don't you think that for one minute she will ever stop to say
bitch i ain't never have no daddy
she'll first swallow up inside/softly
sadly, giving
so much
just to be touched
in a temporary safety place
that doubles over as a danger zone

young, alone, and all she can do is wonder
why "isn't she lovely" was never played for her.

you are gone.
so far removed by circumstance
yes,
i can stand to laugh and dance now
in foreign countries
do you understand though
there will never be enough to fill your void.
no dinners
or pretty dresses
or well-lit stages
could cover up the possibility of baby pink
or rubber duckie yellows
baby
blues.

a small brown woman
who began playing house before ever getting a chance to live in one
her left hand bedazzled with a granite rock
hopelessly married to the streets

in the streets on a warm day
an untrained eye can make out the glints
of glitter
she swore she would get her a diamond
come four children
mindlessly and intently
come four children
hoping to fill that inside

[Gimme My Shit Back:pre-revision]
if i have nothing else left to say
it's because i've given all my poetry away
words lost in hearts
and eyes and
in-between thighs
in promises broken before the sun
began to rise
words lost because of the congolmeration
of his brown skin melting
in
to mine
words lost at quarter to nines
and remember that time?

i begin to speak
but then
my words start to retreat
torn soldiers fighting endless fights
between whose hand i hold tommorow
and whose lips i kiss tonight
going through the motions and doing this all in spite
of the fact that i know what i feel will be too wrong to

write

about
the time his love for me smacked me in the face
and about a girl whose whole heart was embraced
for a time
then replaced
it was mine
then replaced
giving all my words away at a rapid pace

and it's true.

i'm gonna want my shit back too.
from you and you
and the one with the tattoo
give me my moans and my number
back

the things you already forgot
and give me back my poetry
coz that's my true heart.

"but for the record, i DID love you"
record spin and record break
i skip and
scratched
all i can take
fast forward
rewind
pause
hurt
and his ignorance is to cause
as we
both contributed to this demise
both never wanting to realize this array of lies
late night phonecalls lasted later
i'll see you later
scratch
and push up the fader
the beat is always nice until the record
breaks
and the garden's always lovely until you find a
snake.
fast forward
rewind
pause
play
pause again
now you want the record to spin
you can't hear the music with your ears closed
and
you can't feel the beat when
your heart is numb
and
you can't play the records
if you're sitting on the crate
and
you can't hear the music with your ears closed.
fastforward rewind pause
i
i hope one day the needle will jump
and peirce your
heart
so you could finally understand
how it feels to
fast forward rewind pause and
stop.
"but for the record, i DID love you as well".
play.

Bruised insides and questionable regret
"that's what you get"
i laugh at my perception.
Bruised insides andquestionable regret
"that's what you get"
he basks in his deception.
Bruised insides andquestionable regret"that's what you get"
I try to forget this mantra
my mouth is sore
and it ain't from reciting
spoken word.my heart is numb
my insides bruised
but after he callsi won't feel used.
I need to break the cycle
I need to break the cycle
but how do i free myself
from what makes me feel so good?
for a moment anyhow
when i'm atopwhen he calls me baby
when i feel owned
loved.
and i'm trying to remember what it was i did so good
and i can't because i don't remember trying
and i can't because "it" doesn't exisist
except on porno tapes
and in memories of past lovers
with his eyes closed
he's there
detached while i'm still waiting to feel...
Bruised insides and questionable regret
I need to break the cycle
Because love has no mechanical movements.
