white albatross, these white
coats fluttering. only here
to fill up a paper cup--
now, go shower

the cold water stings
like hail on jupiter
I manage this.
O albatross

naked, abject,
look at this wretch
dose me and love me
with your wings spread

heal me now
with your sharp nose and
sleeked back hair
languid, cot, albatross.

a fox den of estrogen
sound the trumpets,
a grand fanfare,
I manage this.

yellowed and maroon
blood testing room
little *****
flutter your coats O

Albatross
lock the door
close the blinds
and step quietly, for

my blood boils
differently than you,
I hunch like a vulture,
ceased, no prey

O, albatross
Echoes Of A Mind Mar 2016
"Love"*
One word
Two meanings
Physical
Or psychological
Feeling
Or action
Not a thing
You can grab
Happiness
Or pain
Lonely
Or together
That is
What it's all about...
English translation of the poem "Elske"

A ***** drills inside my core
It nags, graps, pans, the hands
They knot in spins and twists

My crux left at the river side
Breathing,gasping fast, faster
Body out in the open rawness

Persisting resistance of the force
An outward shield winning
Winged left,right, up, down

Another day, a greater pace
A passive taste, ranting in haste
In bricks *****, all I taste is hate

All walking in dead silence
Heads shouting with dreams
A roll of sweet and sour sate

Echoes of taxes and budgets
How will they evolve us?
Snatching more from pockets

The rockets burst to mock us
Pulling our all to fund them
Nuclear bombs creating tombs

Distribution of lies and wars
Missiles disposing as lyrics
An objectification of reason

Figure brushes on magazines
Incisions of bits and **** hoots
To boost of the hot posed ***

No truth is scaffolded as real
A psychological brainwash
Pollutes and limits indefinately
Human interactions can leave one vulnerable and emotionally drained. How much are we socially indoctrinated?
The revolving dreams of the social structure and institution!!!

Squeeze my hands and pinch my cheeks
Walk me to the bus stop and take me to the park
Lets watch some movies and visit the creek
Lets talk until the sky is dark

Oh, Mommy, please don't raise your voice
Please don't say those words
Do you really think my character is ugly?
Do you really think my mind is absurd?

Oh, Mommy, please don't say I'm useless
Please give me a hug
Please don't send me to that stranger
and please don't throw our mugs

Hey, Mom, come
Listen to my teachers
the way they sing my song
listen to them brag about me
on and on and on

I'm so sorry, Mother
Do these A's need be higher?
Do I need to cower harder
Convince the world that you are not a liar?

Tell them I'm a bad girl
that I don't deserve your love?
Convince them I'm a hellchild
Or need it be more than that above?

Will then you take my hand and squeeze my cheeks?
Can we go to the park and visit the creek?
Can you walk me to the bus stop and talk all night long
Can we watch movies and pretend you didn't do anything wrong?

Sixteen songs have passed
And sixteen separate landscapes to wipe your hands with
And as I dream at night do I consider it
That a part of this doing is my half

Sixteen songs later
Sixteen quiet throats, yet I keep my mouth shut
And I shamelessly enjoy the gifts you give me
When we go to bed before I dream

Our love is in latin, it won’t last

Sixteen exhilarating chases, games, ever-expanding radii
Like irises on a road map, we flower through the countryside
We are an aneurism, we yell at walls, and we laugh
Sixteen family tree autographs

Sixteen sad songs, suicides, sixteen songs you keep on tape
Their last words bent into screams like pictures on TV
My dreams have become my trial
Seventeen’s my last

The house creaks, for it is aged,
And we are leaving it to turn another page.
But the book is endless, and the pages never cease,
I don't think I'm ever going to get some release.

It's one bad story or another in this unending book,
And I'm always the protagonist, her, the crook.
But what makes crooks descend to such lows,
Is it because their lives, painful, were filled with blows?

So, it's torment to me, the helpless boy clutching his stuffed animal,
Who never moved on from seeing abuse: it took a toll.
How do I help her but protect myself at once?
The poison slinks toward my lips through the passing of the months.

My desire to ****
Makes me feel so ill
That i wanna jump off a hill
Or inject saxitoxin
Im my skin
'Till i fall on my chin
I'm sitting  here in the attic
Feeling disastrously pathetic
Writing on a piece of paper
Maybe ,
I should just shove this pen in my throat later
will it be painful ?
Or i'd rather ask
If it'll  be successful ?
To tear me
And clear me
Do you hear me ?
What is this voice inside little Fin ?
That's telling him to commit a sin
Poor Fin , he thinks he's possessed
But it's just time to unveil the  desires that were oppressed
Grab the knife and hold the gun
Let's go out and have fun
Listen to some cries and screams
That's music in our ears
I'm still working on this

white, black, grey do we choose white or black
maybe we choose grey  for combined is white and
black not more powerful with multiple shades of
grey some darker others lighter none purely black
or purely white just grey like the static of a tv
without signal ever a war between white and black in grey's territory this is every ones personal war within.
this i wrote a few years back its namely about balance

i find pain in the brightest place and light hidden in the deep reaches of darkness every one is driven by a deed
this deed be it innocent or be it a dark ******* of ones own mind
drives them to do what must be done to reach there goal thru suffering thru sorrow they will face the timeless challenges that many before them have already either passed or failed but these challenges do not separate those who are brave or those who are shrouded in chaos there is equal opportunity for all and these challenges may always be passed no one is barred from the stage so we must choose for our selves what is appropriate what we see as good and evil in the end it all lays in the eye of the beholder and you yourself are the beholder
i have seen a lot of good people driven by a desire that maybe i didn't find savory but that does not mean they are bad and the opposite is also true but our perception on things is a constant in the fact that it is always changing. the way i see it now this bit from my is still a little rough around the edges

he had arms like a latch
he put her under lock and key
once he closed them, she was trapped
he will never set her free
