THE RAVEN'S CRY

Slick black bird flies into the room
Caw Caw never more sang the bird...
But the bird didn't know that nevermore
was his strong hold...
was his shield from the pain

Nevermore?
LIVE
BE STRONG
Never give into the pain
to the agony of truth,
of life

Death awaits, yes
but death will not stop the pain of those who love the black bird
Death is selfish only because it allows the dead release...
while the rest of the world mourns the loss of another life

Nevermore?
HELL NO!


Quoth the raven: "Nevermore!"

UNTITLED

eyes of jade, glowing
facets of crystaline interior sparkle
shining bright
from the dark shadows
hiding from reality
hiding from the world

bloody tears stain pale cheeks
eyes once a glowing jade
now glow like a fire
heat inside
pent up emotions threaten to break free

bloody kisses
taste of warm salt
broken heart flows from bruised lips
pumping with every painful beat
the rythm of love slowly dying away

VISONS

seeing is believing
what if my eyes are deceiving?
mirage
nonsense!
that isn't really there
.... or is it???

blury image floats outside my window
scaring the hell out of me
not a person
not a shadow
what the **** could it be??

what is that black shadow in the corner,
larger than life??
moving
shifting
amorphous black shape
comming closer to me
enveloping me in its blackness
lending me its power

what do the faces behind mine eyes mean?
floating
sneering
jeering
evil eyes, horrible smile
I wonder if I am crazy
will they go away on their own?

white shadow out of the corner of my eye
swift
sneaky
gone in a second
was it ever really there?

voices calling my name
no one is around
Jessie... Jessie
I turn
nothing, no one
heart pounding
blood rushing
what do you want????
Leave me alone!!!!!!!!

(mmmk folks here is the poem i promised you by a certain Dr. by the name of Bob... he's sucha sweetie!!)

UNTITLED

I rise before the dawn,
anxious and restless, like a fawn.
I take a stroll down by the lake,
So quiet and peaceful, for my sake.
I watch the soft curls of mist,
slowly rising, making many a fist.
Across the water, a glimmer as the sun
A bird soars, not a sound, in fun.
So peaceful the dawn breaks,
So beautiful a day makes.
But as sweet as it seems,
as beautiful as it gets,
it still can't compare,
to you.

(mmmmk here's another one by a friend who prolly forgot me by now, but he wrote me a poem way back in the day .... )

JESSIE GIRL by Pedro Mendoza

A lovely and sweet girl
that can make any man fall in love,
Jessie,
a wonder made in heaven
to bring thrills and joy to all.


ROAR OF THE LION

Roar, sweet lion
let your pain and sorrow be heard
Roar
let the world know
roar till it hurts
roar till your breath runs out
roar till your throat is raw
roar till your heart bleeds with your pain

Roar, mighty lion
show your power
bare your teeth
let the world know that you are strong
roar loud
roar long
make the world bow down to your strength and power
Roar

Purr, gentle lion
your children are near
show them your love
protect them
teach them
Purr, lion
send them to sleep with your song
watch over them
your rumble carries the message of love

lion,
let your pain out
roar.
lion,
show your strength
roar.
lion,
show your love
purr.
lion,
just be.

(This is a poem the great dionysus wrote to me and I would like to honor him by putting it on my website.)


Dennis Hopes To Make Jessie Smile

Dirty-girl princess of the delicate pea
Who hath bewitched you? I think i know.
Like so many of us, years ago, we didn't
get enough of what we needed,
leaving us a legacy of fear, from which
proliferate veils of illusion, images
of fantasex
the electrifying shimmer of gauzes of
allusion
behind which the maiden spins
alone in her closet,
jealous of her solitude
but who in her heart's deep core,
is Being Beauteous
dark angel of flaming ice.

Around this dark sun
revolve her lovers bewitched,
swept by the eternal ethers of the wild,
the ruinous waste,
some wail in radical consternation
gainst the vamp that brought them there;
some smile with that inner satisfaction
that comes from memories
that stir the soul
always already into that endless proliferation of language
absent the transcendtal signifier.
Some haven't a clue as to who she was,
saw only the chance for a friendly ball,
got it and went their way,
but those of us
compelled by your mistery,
philosophers who've looked at being bare
shall have felt the beauty
of your might--
we alone are worthy of our anguish.
We know the cost of loving you.
I am sitting in my living room. An uncomfortable feeling overwealms me. The stark ugliness of it all. The sound of "nigga what" music disturbs the peace in the house. Newspapers lounge on the floor. Cups and glasses recline on tables. The white walls glare at me. They do not like the darkness of my soul. My green eyes flash at them. The walls glow less whitely, less brightly. They recede to their rightful places. They crowd my chair no more.

I feel at home in the black leather chair that hugs my frame. Its soft, squishy cushions ease my pain and invite slumber. Their blackness feeds my power. My eyes droop even though the "nigga what" music beats behind me and the lights glare brightly. The fan whirrs overhead telling me to sleeep sleeeep sleeep sleep with every woosh as it goes around.

The hairy dog on the floor twitches in dreamland. His lips move in a growl as each toe twitches and jerks in its own silent dance. He begins to snore a deep wheezing snore that grates on my nerves. The television flashes silent pictures. The idiocy of it all. Click goes the TV and a black screen greets me as the power is cut off. "Thug" music blares behind me. I sneeze. Goose bumps rise on my skin. Hairy dog rolls over and goes back to sleep with a wheezy groan, Silent slumber welcomes his old bones.

Pain engulfs my legs. They are on fire. I try not to move them. I let them dangle over the chair like dead limbs. The pain concentrates in my right leg, flashing up and down my network of muscle fibers. First here, then there; the pain likes to travel. It likes to jump around in its cruel game of hopscotch, my body is its game squares.

More "nigga what" music. Ack! No more! Please!

The pain recedes as the cruel game comes to an end, for now. I relax my stiff legs. I rotate my ankles, hearing them pop and crack with each twist.

My eyes droop closed and my breathing becomes deep and regular as the faces that flash behind my eyelids coax me into a fitful sleep filled with nightmares and things chasing me.

My TOK paper has to do with how literature and the human sciences help people to know and understand human behavior better. Oh yay. So far this year I have taken my ACT and SAT tests.
