Very intricate, shaman.  Modern day Shakespeare I'd say.  I kind of just made this up now based on my little quote of the moment.

i cry
whilst your crystalline eyes
make me fly
by the by

as when you sigh
i brush the sky
with wisps of lashes that tickle
your skin and make you laugh
my dreamer

and i smile at
the pitter patter of little ant feet
trailing across your fingers in the grass
as you sink
your nails beneath the soil
and pull the taut strings
of my heart

i love you  

 


true love waits... i guess.

Here is something I wrote while sitting in the Kuwaiti desert during "Operation: Iraqi Occupation".

REGIME CHANGE

The Regime is dying.
The voices of Many can be heard protesting otherwise.
Which Regime are they protesting? Supporting?
The rhetoric of the religions
Creates confusion like the blinding sandstorm.
The noise of the thunder overhead is deafening.
Death defying.
The locust carries fate under its wings.

On Locust?s wings we ride.
Carried into battle to do as It is written.
For Him.
As Fate has determined.
Should we believe in Fate? Him?
Why do we stake our lives on such
Nostalgic ideas?
Should history repeat itself?

The sleeping Dragon is awake.
He violently waves His gun in the air
And shoots culture between the eyes.
Nostalgia is dead.
Is this a new beginning?
Or an old end.
A means to an end?

The Machine is hiding something.
It has betrayed us over and over again.
Yet, we listen and we act
According to what we hear.
The Revolution is coming.

A short poem about everybody's favorite person, Miss, oh wait Mrs., no it's miss again, got married again so it's Mrs., now I lost track, Jennifer Lopez.

Oh J-Lo, what does the future hold?
What will you do when you're old?
How many husbands will you tally?
Will you find your next one drunk in an alley?

Memo to you, nobody on Earth cares
About your marital state of affairs.
Try making good music or movies we can bear.
I'm serious, Gigli made me run scared.

Marc Anthony, get out before it's too late.
Take your ex-wife out on another date.
J-Lo's desperate to get people to watch her.
By next week, she'll be with another.

OMG, this was the most hysterical thing I've ever read, Rob.  I just heard today.  Poor sap.

My fiance' wrote the following during one of her breaks at work.  She gave it me and I thought it was pretty cool.

"Television"

It's America's favorite box.
People on couches, in a daze
Watching the Yanks pummel the Sox
Or weaving through the channel maze.

It's dumbing down our nation.
Insulting those who like to think.
Hitting us with their 'reality sensations'
Which in my eyes, just plain stink.

I can remember a greater time
When TV had some class.
I was never good at finding a rhyme
And network execs can kiss my...

Rob, I thought she stopped writing poems.  When did she pen this?

She never did really stop writing poems.  Every once and a while, she writes one.  Habit I guess.  She wrote the "television" poem a day before I posted it.

The moon shines slowly, pulled away by the
cloth of seething moonlight. The tiger looks up
at it, crystal eyes burning brighter than any
fire ever seen. The tiger takes a deep breath,
standing just as a majestic as ever and
FARTS.

"Inside"

The next door neighbor, seems so normal
A car in the driveway, curtains in the windows
A pool in the back, close to the porch,
And an empty doghouse, old and blue.

Went to see what was inside.
Its pull on me, I could not explain.
So perfect on the outside,
Must be as good inside.

The furnature, broken down and frail.
Nothing works, all is in disrepair.
The darkness feels of midnight gloom.
So many tears were shed in here.

Passed through the door to the outside world,
Nothing is what it may seem.
The signs are there if you carefully look
Of the contrast between body and heart.

From a longtime UNC fan to a Duke coach.

Coach K with the name I cannot spell
Said no to the Lakers' circus from hell.
Makes me wish Jerry West is still there
To bash Kupchak with a steal chair.
I bleed tarheel blue,
Glad to see he's still there.
Duke wouldn't be the same without you.

"Second Chance"

I'm not what I used to be.
I've grown past my infancy.
No more crazy heights and goals.
To my love, I give my soul.

Hear the words of an open heart
Seeking a chance for a new start.
Forgiving me won't be easy
But the guilt drives me crazy.

I don't deserve one more chance,
Not one more kiss or another dance.
"All is possible" you once said.
I must believe our love's not dead.

Interests poems, Rob.  I just thought you wrote funny ones

Who is "Inside" about?  I get the other ones, but "Inside" strikes me as being very personal.  Who are you talking about?  Anyone specific?  Anyone I would know?

You remember the kind of stuff I wrote back in high school.  I'm returning to that.  But I am currently compiling material for a new slam-against-celebrities poem that I hope will be really funny.

As for "Inside", it is personal in a way.  And you should know who it's about.  But we all know at least one person who fits this mold.  So great on the outside, but sad and depressed on the inside.  That was the basic idea behind it all.  The old, blue doghouse is the most important part of the poem.  I'm surprised you said nothing about that.

"Lotto"

Weath, the door to eternal bliss
A solution to one's every problem
Happiness to follow lotto win
But the cost is your soul.

Keep the money and lucky fame
The luxury cars and pricey homes
A model wife and quicky divorce
Flowing fountains and tennis courts.

Call me crazy, I don't care
I am rich in my own right
Money may be short
But joy is in abundance.

Strange.  That coming from a guy who told me that he would love to win the lottery and retire to a large mansion.  Very strange.
