A Gargoyle within
Nesting under the skin
Becoming you, becoming this
Everything you ought not to be
Caught inside a scream
Taking flight
Like bats from a cave
All the illusions fall away
From the words you crave
To explain your demons away
I live in tyrannical state of mind
Why, I want to live on a secluded island
Away from everyone
So that I can feel lonely on my own
And scream “No one cares about my despair”
And not feel like an attention seeker
Because no one would be there to hear
And it’d take the burden away
Leaving me with these tyrants in my brain
Burning away at the scaffolding
Holding up my attempts at building
And I can be left within this ash and ruin
And maybe these tyrants would begin to tame
Without anymore buildings
To put up in flames
Lounging around with Matt Johnson the Gorilla: Amazon really does sell everything!
Strange things that amazon has claimed to sell when on the google.
Do you like the smell of dead rats? Apparently Amazon has you covered:
What is funny about this one especially is that I had actually googled “Book smell.” Or something about searching for sprays or something that could provide that new book smell.
Want a new heart? Amazon has just the thing for you!
Is your heart too perfect? Want
Or perhaps you’d like some new lungs?
Got low heamoglobin? Buy some on amazon.
* note
All these were searched last year and I shared them with friends on facebook for shits and giggles. Now when I search these things these ads no longer come up. This makes me sad.
Titan in a titan’s footprint
The teacup sits idly
Before the tea inside begins to shake
As the ground beneath it quakes
But, still the tea cup doesn’t break
Undisturbed like a titan
Sitting within that crator; the footprint of Argentinosaurus
Nothing ever lasts
The blue sky is there
You just need to wait
For the clouds to roll on by
Days, weeks or months
This too shall pass.
Including that thought
That nothing ever lasts
Negative shoes
This post and the comments that followed inspired this shit random off the cuff writing
I’ve put on some negative shoes
I can’t dance
So lift me out of the blues
These negative shoes
Don’t like my feet
They don’t like life
They admit defeat
My feet stink
My negative shoes
My negative shoes keep walking
Out on me
I’ve been looking for some positive shoes
But all shoes look like they’re smiling
So how’s a guy know
If they’re just upsidedown frowns?
I don’t know
But I keep gettin’ negative shoes
Standing in dog shit
Always is a hit
Trying to wash that shit
Out of the grooves
Is soul destroying
My shoes are destroying…..
me….
Beaty & the Beast
Dinotaur; T rex head
Upon human shoulders
With a red and orange mane of fiery feathers
Sees the black mare
It’s white mane glowing in the sun
With it’s ‘devil eyes’
Sees Dinotaur
Standing as both man and beast
That unicon among horses
Liking what she sees
Gallops forth
Knowing they were meant to be
Beauty & the beast
metamorphosis: The cycle
The unicorn lost it’s horn, thus becoming a horse
Shedding it’s unicorn skin
the horse grew and galloped
out of the crator; the footprint of Argentinosaurus.
and bounded across the land
Consuming all it could, including butterflies
thus the horse pooped out
a unicorn
continuing the cycle
Metamorphosis: A clown devours itself
“First, the caterpillar digests itself”
I ate the butterbyes
That turned into goodbyes
And hydrated me
As such water began to flow
From my tear ducks
Rolling down my nemesis
The face in which the clown I have become
For such folly, I have done
Trying to fold myself
Into a butterfly
Using butter and knife
With no wings to fly
*Ducks is not a typo
Metamorphosis
Folding it first
A butterfly ate a dinosaur
Before she burst
Into a unicorn
Frolicking in one big crater; the footprint of Argentinosaurus.
