			<description>Cutting Room Floor



Believe that with breathing

some kind of wretched crashes the

inside of the cell. Knocking over



this ceramic red light, throbbing

violently on the shining black floor. 

Tapes revolve and litter, mountains of

celluloid to satisfy this famine of tastes,

of lack for lighted visions.



Some kind of censorship paces these

traces of confessions. Unconsumed, tattering

to be the whole of a discarded teenage fantasy.

			<description>The mirror, consistent bystander, a defiled savior that returns

An arid eyeful of the misery masquerading in skin

The promises, unturned in the ragged nails

Of hands amongst the worn blades, desiccated with blood.

Night prefaced by sleep endeavors to hold a zephyr to never wake

Keeping a window parsed with misguiding lexis when solitary

Escapism writes itself on panes in palls of a routed exhale

The walls, sordidly stained with parody of preaching truths

Openhanded to the sheer  ...</description>

The recent smell of caffeine

In the empty cup, with her

Teeth marks in the styrofoam.

Thyme

Crushed with the lemon aside

The stain from her cut is

Nearly gone, yet it never dried.



It&#8217;s nearly there&#8230;

The scent of her skin.

It&#8217;s nearly there&#8230;

As she turns away from me.



P-e-p-Bless you-p-e-r

Spoon against her lips; scolding

Still sneeze on a kiss&#8230; sending her away.

Salt

Without the knife parting the layers

			<description>The Affliction of Love



Hardly any little

darlings, come over to us. Of

having seemed to be hurt or maybe they are

dreaming of times so past



that they sound like tiny lullabies.



Have you thought of keeping

me in tight, holding arms of lying inside me

right by the pain? But something that



you couldn’t come to relate. Never you’ve

been like that, how I feel that reality comes

into parts. Soft little face, huge brown eyes 



uncover the surprise that eyebrows  ...</description>

			<description>Her smile could have been the last fixation

I would have seen on earth,

With al-eyes, and a dirt face.

She could have been my mother.



The jagged, edged lines in her cheeks, 

Streamline to the ebb and flow of her breasts, to

Skin-colored water on her chest, gold

Cross parading her neck.

She could have been my mother.



The street, it steamed with her breath,

And gasoline rises from the bronze roofs

Of the corner.  

Here, the puddles abort their fog and condensation

			<description>I've done this one awhile ago, yet as of right now, I'm just never in the right mood to put my mind to poetry. So hopefully the last few poems I actually did can receive some good crits to inspire me a bit more. This one is still untitled, but is stored just by the name 7-29-07 in my HG:P Journal.





Lay down the water&#8217;s edge, 

its touch forgets thoroughly the sins. 

Listen to the ripples reach for life 

And how the reasons fade out 

the beauty in these shapeless voids-

Havent posted p's in a while, but will get the ball rolling for us here.





Her voice was entirely irritation

when she asked if the ketchup on the floor

was blood. From the kitchen we follow

piece meal footprints,

It leads to a clatter of pills,

pulled teeth and ladders.

A crunch of door sepa-

Belief; so blame
