two poems [31st July 2008,12:35AM]
[ mood | contemplative ]

(written today)
Sunflower Fields

Searching for an epiphany
Perhaps a quick preview of eternity
Lost in the city's blunt modernity
The billions of bees buzzing with activity

My thought slips and away I go
Farewell I say to the self I know
Where flowers wilt, weeds will grow
Petals lit by sunrays aglow

On my belly I lay, smelling the earth
To marvels and mayhem it gives birth
My blazing cash spewed across the hearth
To prove money defines not my worth

Sun feels sleepy and so do I
Horizons melt to ressemble tie dye
Eyelids become heavy and crickets less shy
In this life I've never felt so high

Goodnight to you from beneath the moon
Where there's nothing but naked nature
Where the silent can't be silenced
Where I stray through sunflower fields...

(written april 10th)
if everyone's special to you i don't want to be
You became a habit after a second or two
Dropped into my life like a lucky penny
I chose you from afar and labelled you a possibility
Truth is i wasn't as scared of you as i was of me.

You were inexplicably familiar
With every flaw and fault you attempted to conceal
as if i'd loved you times before in a far-off memory
Truth is i was someone else or simply pretending to be

You rolled out of bed everyday at dawn
warmed your heart outside in the mornin' sun
then kissed me on the cheek like when we were young
Truth is i still long for childhood fun.

Mister X.

the old man had a tender glass
that sprouted just below his brow
a painted pupil, the iris blue
that gazed gauntly straight ahead.

he traveled roads that took him nowhere
the ones lit with gumdrop lights
the ones where you drink and talk all night
and forget who you met by the morning.

he saw the sights and the towering buildings
they were pretty but they crowded the horizon
they were artificial and over-appreciated.
and they looked clean but dirtied the air.

he didn't care for the word normal
it was spackled with material stereotypes
it was hacked with wrongs and rights
and meant to steer you to stupidity.

the day he left me i looked in his throat
down past his lungs and through his core
those tracks of blood that traveled like trains
suddenly stopped chugging along.
trick me;

love is a rumor [12th November 2007,10:25PM]
and she leaned in so close
almost tripping on his lips
the tip-tapedy sound of
a liar's tips...

"love is just a rumor
spread from ear to ear
babies die and husbands lie
till the hopefuls disappear.

form a line of contestants behind you
then you all march into the streets
bang your cans and ridiculous demands
that the devil readily meets.

miss you when you're with me
cry away the anger you felt
grow up dear and goodbye tear
then the heart valves start to melt.

my book of little chuckles
they're not so funny anymore
whispered kiss and ignorant bliss
that leave us red-eyed and sore.

so take it from a liar
people can be trash too
hidden change and now deranged
wrong to think i needed you."

into the rainy ranting of march
he slipped sleekly away
the slow grin and
soft dismay...
trick me;

predict the unpredictable [30th October 2007,6:35PM]
that morning i awoke to dew on my nose tip
rose shakily to your floors, your cuffs and your whip
i wound your clocks counter-clockwise as i felt my heart slip
planning my demise as i escaped from your grip.

you caught me on my way to the door
i opened my eyes and my jaw dropped to the floor...


"a housewife needs to know only how to cook and clean
so bake my soul till it browns and lick yourself green
and when the dirt builds up upon you and cannot be redeemed
don't think to throw yourself in my washing machine"

i clawed and i scratched and i ran down the street
unprepared for the daydreams that i would soon meet...

with each drink of my coffee, the imagery was stunnning
me and my boat swayed back and forth, you in the waves: running
i quickly climbed the rungs to her top sail to sing
'i miss you more than muchly, precious darling.'

your absence has left me desiring more
its funny how one thought can shake your very core.
trick me;

our own horizon [16th October 2007,5:36PM]
pluck airplanes from beneath the clouds
and tickle them till they tumble down...
we'll be sitting in the grass, we'll be laughing hello
your gaze will tell me what my heart needs to know...
twist the teatering tree tops
and paint the sun like a grandfather clock...
showering to get this night off'a me
the crippling embarassment and 4AM coffee...
assemble the pieces of wings in the fields
and then fly fast and up and away...


maybe i'll see you again someday.
trick me;

waiting [2nd September 2007,10:27PM]
quizzical worries.
you're pacing up the walls and across the roof
your tears seem to tell their own tale
with each second that drags itself by
you sit and you stare and you clench.
the neighbours seek you out briefly
peeking through the blinds.

restless body.
first spread out on the shingles
then fast footsteps shake the earth.
you tongue twists into curses and cries
then it's quiet and it's blunt and it's truthful.
your breath slows and chills
dress tarnished and damp at the ankles.

countless thoughts.
who where why when and how
storybook questions which
mock your impatience and stunt your optimism.
it's dusk, and its dark and it's over.
stars smudged into puffs masking the moon
crickets whinning and frogs groaning.


eyes fluttering.
tensions settling.
he's not coming.
waiting.
waiting.
waiting.
sleep.

the dinosaurs died, so will we [1st August 2007,1:30PM]
the sun shines down right to dirt and tombs
whilst the wind rattles tin cans and raids people's rooms
above the horizon the devils cloud looms
and the babies cry inside their mother's wombs.

the sirens are sounding their cry of tragedies...
the rich men scrap their pre-written eulogies...

oh dear, this dreary day will soon doom us
says the man who appears the most robust
I shall go await my death in the dust
accompanied by filth and the pungent smell of rust.

the heroes muscles flatten and fry...
the moon cackles and the stars demand why...

the airplanes and birds suddenly cease to soar
downward, downward; falling wings galore!
oh please god, help us, the catholics implore
bricks and building crumble at the sight of human gore

the old aren't the young, and the young aren't the brave...
the one that would save us still wishes to be saved...

summertime' [7th July 2007,11:35AM]
[ mood | okay ]

Solitary

an old man lay
on a deserted parkbench in L.A.
where only the graffiti
and the filth would hear
him say...

oh to be young, young and naive again.
a fresh face in the crowd, even
if all you kids wanna be alike.
you'd do just about anything
to make the world know your name.

tainted teens and tarnished tears
an eternal heartache hot on my trail.
A broken mirror laid deep in my head
there's seven or more years bad luck
i can never really get out of my mind.

boxed in by this bastard world
i shyed away and i'm left alone now.
so maybe i'm delicious in a cancerous
kind of way. you're all jealous cause
your name ain't so famous.

an old man lay
on a deserted parkbench in L.A.
where only the graffiti
and the filth would hear
him say...

trust can't be trusted.

[3rd June 2007,12:02AM]
sad eyes and sappy songs
let ourselves slip and we don't belong
lonely togethers and do me wrongs
i felt we'd end up here all along

french poem. [28th May 2007,7:54PM]
[ mood | crazy ]

le temps se détend
l'horloge nous ment
c'est quoi ce mystère
qui nous amene vers l'enfers?

le noir nous égard
trop tot ou trop tard?
tu me manques en abondance
une grande distance de notre enfance

j'suis pas la belle, ni la bête
la joie n'est qu'une enquête

trick me;

a grungy reflection of fiction [18th May 2007,11:50PM]
vertigo, woe
from time to time
the mirror has spoken:
but it's covered in grime.

passive, attractive
we'll be the new crime
i'd sell you my soul:
but you don't got a dime.

curious, nervous
an electric space
tell your lungs to breathe:
life's not a simple race.

loss, longing
woven into the lace
peel off your layers...
there's nothing left to embrace.
trick me;

loss for words [17th April 2007,9:02PM]
[ mood | crushed. ]
[ music | cute is what we aim for- lyrical lies ]

a pause
a tiny smile and glance to see
a sign of your hesitation
a breaking point soon to come

a glance
a strand of hope weakened by fear
a droop in your heart
a sudden urge to flee

a silence
a solemn acceptance of defeat
a new lack of optimism
a realization of how alone you really are

02.trick me;

bless the modern world [8th April 2007,2:54PM]
[ mood | tired ]

it was but one long stretch
the day fades away
sun rays begin their run
devoured by
the man in the moon

a simple end to mindless tasks
and waiting for the
little hand to budge
nightfall and
the world sleeps, or seems to

climb up to your warm bed
lay awake and hear faint rain
mix the stars in your palm
marvel at the sparkle
and bless the modern world

you might see this moment again
but it's never the same
chuckle to yourself
count your sheep
close your eyes

buenos noches

trick me;

coma [26th March 2007,7:48PM]
[ mood | crazy ]
[ music | cursive- the lament of pretty baby ]

theres nothing left to do
but sit here still
and listen to the mechanical
beep of your heartbeat
the raindrops tapping
upon the windowsill

im tired but alert
because maybe you'll awaken
and re-use those tired limbs
the ones that hang
hollow and limp
i hope im not mistaken

when i say
there is hope yet.

trick me;

I hate your love [10th March 2007,9:30PM]
[ music | sufjan stevens- chicago ]

you chuckle
so vague
you smile
so sultry

this infantry is devastating
your gaze fixed and captivating
my lilps seem to be hesitating
and all your love is irritating

oh but may we dance one last time?
With your arm in mine and your touch so divine?

i tear
at the eyes
i swoon
at your indifference

we've ruined all the fairytales
dulled their hope with our sharp scratching nails
i guess this means fate never fails
routing all our choices and tiny details

trick me;

warm in our winter; [31st January 2007,6:34PM]
you and me; so cold
underneath the powder
close your eyes
because sugar, it's tonight
slipping down, and away

(literally, i'm not kidding you)
(you chuckle now but...)
(we'll break this breath at dawn)

the snow is heavenly
you say, and it makes me warm
we're just so close to being alone
i barely even notice the highway
slipping down, and away

(literally, i'm not kidding you)
(you chuckle now but...)
(we'll break this breath at dawn)

down the street is a warm house
but you tell me not to go
and we twist our eyes shut; side by side
slipping down, and away

(literally, i'm not kidding you)
(you chuckle now but...)
(we'll break this breath at dawn)

the night passes
when i wake you're gone, with glassy eyes
i'm sorry, says my one tear
but i dont want to stay anymore

(literally, i wasn't kidding you)
(you're not chuckling now are you...?)
(i told you)
trick me;

i dont know where me is but i'm certainly not here. [26th November 2006,10:09PM]
past past the looking glass
all i see is you:
a mix of poignant vertigo
and a late trainride for two.

oh is this what love does to me ?

drained drained glasses of wine
and you, twisted under the sheet
it's 2am, bye love;
i'm making my retreat.

and i never ever saw you again, darlin
and the angels, they count the seconds till i'm gone.

trick me;

rambling blah blah. [23rd November 2006,10:56PM]
randy in the corner
rollin' up a joint.
ronda talking to the wall sayin'
'i dont see the point!
your minds miles and miles away
a smiles a smile; yours are fake.'
pupils dialated, smoking lips
holding it out to her: ' give or take? '

she sinks back down
and pops her pills.
randy points, sayin'
'don't you know, addiction kills?
I bet you didn't get those from the pharmacy
sugar, a doctor gone mad wouldn't give in.
so don't you lecture me about thrills'
and she says 'i know, babe, i give in.'

And so they sit backwards and upside-down
their heads flipped over, hearts turned around.
We've lost yet another two more souls
to the allure of fake
with all this packaged 'happy' around
why is everyone filled of self-hate?

let's play make-believe and smile again.
let's play fraud, i bet i'll win.

idea from mel. mwah.
trick me;

blah blah. [7th November 2006,6:56PM]
the teens need to grow up?

lies.
blonds on the corner,
mini skirts and knee high boots.
the guys in their mercedes
counting their bills,
wondering if their wives are at home...
'heyy lemme pick you up, toots'

but they're denying it all, thinkin
'yeah we slept around
that dont make us ho's, right ?'
i dont know who you've tied yourself onto this time,
but girl, dont let him bleed you from your wrists.
haven't you realized that a heart
is kinda shaped like a fist ?

just grow up?
look who drinks to fill their days
living a life with an angry glaze...
and when the days done, you put your war plans aside,
the terrorists find some place to hide.

unload your guns and bang on your prison bars.
you think we're wild ?
we're not the ones needing to be caged away...

haha.
trick me;

[1st November 2006,6:53PM]
THE ONLY LIGHTS IN A DARK WORLD

cities filled with possibility
the stranger walking afar could be
a new friend, love, enemy ?

your fate is running by...

strung into rhythm by an ipod and quick pace
cracks in the sidewalks resemble his face
but are they too deep to erase?

your rosy cheeks are fabulous...

chilled thoughts litter the street
but i can't deny that love's got me beat
this city is my only retreat.
