Ion even know what to call it...

Every which way the wind blows
is where you go,
I mean,
you move so swiftly
you cannot stay still to save
your life
your heart
MY life
MY heart
you Boeing piece of craftsmanship!
why don't you start drawing from the earth
instead of wind like me?
Seven forty seven, a time you're so fond of
soaring high, adrenaline's like jet fuel to you.
You float all accidental-like on a breeze
you feather. The down within my pillow
I hope you to be, but a bird in the air you remain.
I want to cage you,
but
you won't sing with me.
You wallow within the confines of my heart
cantankerous, cankerous, cancerous you become.
I know without your wind, your flight, your migration
you will surely die, and
the feathers of hope upon you no longer serves purpose
to me
to the world.
So, GET! Fly with your
Luftwaffe,
you 100th luftballon.

Not Accepting Applications

Not Accepting Applications

tears
and raindrops
soak through
the paper
dissolving the ink
and any possibilities
of me
taking the job
that
I felt SO qualified to do.

Hopeful was I,
GIDDY was ME,
a woman ready to
reenter the workforce
for the tough job
of relationships
and when I,
when i
stepped up
to the door
of that INSTITUTION
and saw that
SIGN....

it said "not accepting applications"
and my whole wall of
hope and
excitement
came falling
--a myriad of bricks,
it seemed--
down and
crushed all my...
boy, i'm hurt.

So, now
I stand at the locked door
looking helplessly
at the inside.
Two people
with party hats,
hugging, filled with joy.
Wish one was me.
I can't lie.
But I pass off
my tears as raindrops falling
on my face,
like the skies
cry FOR me,
and walk away.

Dig

This is a poem I wrote in the middle of the night lol.
You can say it was inspired by a friend who uses the word "dig" a lot. LOL.
ENJOY!

Is it ok if I say I dig you?
I mean, you are quite the archaeological find
Sifting through these sands of time,
slowly,
CAREFULLY,
Recruiting more men to help me complete my
excavation,
hoping to find that priceless artifact
You
have hidden underneath all that
Ruin.
All those years of
wear,
abandonment,
DESECRATION of monuments
that once stood
high
with esteem now lay dormant.
Oh, my Maachu Picchu,
my Sphinx without a nose,
my fragile yet complex Terra Cotta army,
what secrets lie below your lithosphere?
You are submerged like Cleopatra's Temple,
as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa,
and as pragmatic as the original Holy Bible.
If I brush the dust away from those
hieroglyphs,
will I be able to
decode you
with my Rosetta Stone?
If I could
discover that
COVETED
National Treasure you guard with
your
puzzling labyrinth that lies just beneath
the surface,

I wouldn't exploit it.
I would protect it
I would treasure it
and
I would share
The compelling tale of how I uncovered
and earned
the valuable treasure YOU held within.

The Mere Existence

The mere existence
of what I thought
was to be
did not become.

A Dream SO Deferred,
That I can’t Quote the Raven.
Oh how I wanted to Stop for Death
Because love was the Road not Taken.

Weak

Here is a little po-em I wrote called "Weak".

My knees buckled when your voice caressed my ear
The hairs on my skin stood up when I sensed you near
You were the entity that caused my mouth not to speak
You were the one who made me weak.

Yeah, I made you weak too
Maybe not in the same sense, but anywho…
I was the force that had knocked you off your feet
(even for a second) I am the one who made you weak.

Two people who are each other’s weaknesses specifically
Won’t work; I mean, seriously, think very critically
Attempting to be strong for one another is a spectacular feat
For it’s believed that weak with weak, will always be weak.

To him, this was recognized as a problem
Not truly allowing me to be strong for him
But his ignorant slave would have loved him even through defeat
Because in my heart, I did not want him to be weak.

To me, oh I already knew it wouldn’t work
But the possibilities of capturing my selfish desires drove me berserk
This on/off passion I held was not for the meek
And that bond I felt with him was definitely not weak.

I was clouded by my judgment
And all this extra bullshit that could have went
And disappeared forever, a conclusion that I couldn’t meet
Because "what if’s" always made me weak.

He was still a bit of an enigma,
It seemed that he viewed being with her as a social stigma
Flirtatious, soft, tough, funny, passionate, and a bit of a freak
He always had a way to hide his feelings about the person that had made him weak.

On the other hand, what if I read into something more?
What if he never shared the same feelings as I thought before?
What if this was just a mind-game, and he’s just like, “nigga please”
And that he knew he could take advantage of the fact I was weak.

All this is talk about how I feel, nothing more, nothing less
And that this thing really wasn’t for the best
Not like I can do anything about it anyways, simply because you beat
Me to finding a person who won’t make me weak.

Testing.

This is a test.
To see if this will work.
For my friend.
LOL she's having issues and is annoyed.
WOO
WOO
WOO.
That is all.

The Wire Hanger

The Wire Hanger

Hang your many garments on me,
Use me to relieve yourself of the burdens of life.
Too many articles of clothing can wear you down,
Destroy your erect posture in life,
Cause you pain
and suffering for many years to come.

Hang your tattered coat
Your holey sweater,
Your old favorite shirt or
That new exciting piece of lingerie
on me, i will be sure to keep it....

Just let gravity take its toll;
Naturally straighten out the wrinkles
of confusion
of pain
of troubles
until you are ready to wear it again...
or just maybe leave it there...
allow the metal to slowly eat away at the support of
your confusion
your pain
your troubles
until that garment
falls
to the ground
denatured;
ready for pickup
and to be discarded,
because it's no longer needed,
no longer necessary
no longer wanted.

Until then, hang your expensive coat,
your Cashmere sweater,
that shirt you hated,
or that gaudy piece of lingerie your ex liked
on me, and i will be sure to keep it.
