Something for the Poets.

[annieo]

I'm getting sick

of playing nice

sharing and smiling

holding the door

while they take the comfy chair

the last piece of more

 

I want to be her

bare serpent fangs

reveal forked tongue

and smell true air

scare you away

with my unmoving stare

 

I've slithered through conflict

my patience tested

hypnotically calm sweet

attentive

 

but strength I've saved

to wrap my coils

around those bastards

see them boil

in their own blood

[LikeTheWolf]

oh my word

looks matter to me

how i look

how you look

yes, looks matter to me

 

am i shallow?

probably

i think it depends on what degree

 

are you a model?

then you probably bore

are you in shape?

thats more of a score

 

are you round?

well hopefully in the right places

i like many features

legs, thighs, butts, and faces

 

i like them tall

i like them short

i like them dark

i like them light

even blistering with freckles is a treat

 

but the one thing that floats my boat

is the uniqueness of a beauty

that something no other lovely has

 

for you see

once i get to know them

and fall in love with their brain

then their features come all the more attractive

like i didn't see it before

 

thats how shallow i am

[LikeTheWolf]

i've been here before

a long time ago

but this time i wear no mask

 

some called me trouble

some called me fun

but those that knew me adored me

well, all but one

 

i can bite like a bull dog

lie low like a snake

but to forgive is divine

so i'm good for goodness's sake

 

i've been here before

a long time ago

but this time i dropped my shades

 

-ltw

[LikeTheWolf]

oh Ms. Duncan

what ever happened to thee

i miss you petite little frame

and your one eye to see

 

where are you my little peter pan

(which is odd anyway

that role is for a boy

in a strange way is that gay?)

 

Sandy we haven't seen you

on tv in many years

you got the raw deal with Valerie

i was almost brought to tears

 

well i eat a wheat thin in your name

in hopes of your return

you are only what, 62?

my fire for you burns...

 

-ltw

[annieo]

Ms. Duncan could only blush

to hear you speak

so hush hush hush

 

don't violate

her sacred he/she frame

with your unclean wishes

your thoughts profane

 

let her leap

by magic wires

over rooftops

to distant isles

[LikeTheWolf]

inside Ms. Duncan

is a woman dying to get out

maybe she begs to be exploited

i have pleasurable ways to make her shout

 

her face adores my shrine

and i light a candle for her every day

my prayers for her may be answered

maybe we need to hear what she has to say

 

yes, Sandy, leap!

right into my lap

this wolf awaits you

both to kiss and lap

 

-ltw

[annieo]

you have a face that is a shrine?

how religiously static, how divine

but I'd prefer a mirror

to gaze at mine

 

poor sandy would

be sorely in need

to have to worship

let you feed

upon her

 

remember peter flew lightly

upon the air

was no one's slave

gave no one care

 

better to play

as butterflies do

they meet and kiss

then say adieu

 

it's all an act

the airy ways

I have roots

that reach into caves

and search there

[annieo]

maybe I'm being presumptuous

but recently I'm in a funk

thinking of elizabeth and robert

how their hearts might have sunk

 

initially, how lucky to find

someone who speaks your tongue

but later, the glamour wears off

all the bells have been rung

 

then it's just you

and the other one, too

what's left?

Liz and Rob know best

[annieo]

I want to leap

I've leapt before

the net appeared

still I'm not sure

 

of stepping off the precipice

a merry fool

in poets dress

 

yet I do it every day

I step into the smiling abyss

not knowing

if that kiss

was the last kiss

 

that goodbye

might be farewell

who can tell

what the day will bring

the secretive future

promises nothing

 

so I shouldn't fear

or it's all I'd do

I'd make monsters

and construe

my ficticious end

which is not fact

or living truth

 

oh, be quiet, silly one

you know how I work

how I've moved

the answer will be hidden

till it's proved

[LikeTheWolf]

the darkness is a liar

it doesn't hold the monsters

its so famous for

 

i look hi and lo

i lie still and wait

i search under the bed

and see nothing there

 

but then i think

they know im on to them

so i hide

 

in the closet

and wait

under the bed

and wait

 

and then it dawned on me

i know why i can find no monsters

 

because the monster

is I

I'm going to bed

I will search high and low

but no monster will I find

except in my head

on my pillow

[LikeTheWolf]

you sleep tight

annieo of the night

for you will not fright

(I'll stay out of your sight)

[annieo]

out of sight

out of mind

I've heard it said

theoretically

it might be true

 

to write off as dead

people who've fled

replace the gone

with what's here

and what's new

 

so why do I see

as if standing before me

faces long past

some I've not seen before?

 

out of sight

are your eyes

but my mind

can see clearly

ghosts of before

I feel them near me

[annieo]

I might be a snake

but little I've lied

I wear my skin

with modest pride

 

I don't pretend

to be otherwise

I am just one

not two

in disguise

 

hate is a course

I will not run

bitter minds

their wobbly level

will find

 

some games were fun

this one

is done

[LikeTheWolf]

and she stolls into town on the wintry snow covered night

the red hood rides the wolf making a fiery sight

 

she holds the reign with one hand, a katar strapped to the other

they prowel the village together. 'I'd like to see Mother.'

 

and each henchmen she visits denies her request

without pause they get the blade in their chest

 

and while they fall and gasp for air

the wolf does his deed adding to despair

 

it takes not long for word to get out

that the daughter is now up and about

 

with an unlikely partner under her spell

they both roam the village, spawning frozen red Hell

 

the war is on and demons are dying

other wolfs fall as they fail trying

 

try as the might, they can't upheave the daughter

instead they get butchered, adding to the slaughter

 

"She ruined my life." she cries. "I've had enough!

I took too long in getting tough.

Father forgive me, but i've come to avenge!

Your death. My childhood. This is revenge!"

 

however, Mother was long gone and not around to see

that her daughter became a woman. Her heart no longer weepy.

 

but red hood will not quit. She will end mother's reign

red hood has no idea how much horror yet remain

 

and so she rides the beast through the night

the man-wolf beneath her, adding to her bite

 

but when the full moon ends, he will he return back

however, not her: her heart remains black

annieo

where did you go?

 

you will not run?

yet you seem to be done?

 

i enjoyed all you wrote

i don't know why

you say goodbye

i would have hoped for a note

[LikeTheWolf]

i love people

that talk a good game

say they are so different

yet end up being the same

 

i love people

that talk about trust

yet as soon as they are tested

their integrity's a bust

 

i love people

that give benefit of the doubt

yet when they hear something about you

instead of talking, they check out

 

but you know its no surprise

its the same song and dance

people think they have virtues

yet its a cowardly prance

 

nobody is different

et them go run and hide

everyone's the same

at least i have my pride

 

i know myself

i've always been honest

strange how people past words

no longer have any focus

[annieo]

a storm blew through

my city tonight

I heard it coming

I felt the thrill

dread and delight

 

clouds swirled up

then sullen, bruised

sank into themselves

electric flashes fused

my thoughts into one

 

I hid in a doorframe

the safest place

an oblique juncture

out of his range

prayed and promised

I would change

 

waited for the lightning bolt

that has my name

inscribed in silver

along it's length

it never came

 

then rain fell down

like the tears of god

in sodden furrows

drenching my dust

 

billows and gusts

of holy water

wash away smears

my wet remorse

 

into the gutters

out to the lake

[LikeTheWolf]

proof i have

as you requested

free of charge

no need to be tested

 

but if you must you must

i ask not one in return

just tell me how to i should send it

i hope i don't get burned

 

i have two in fact

one with the words for you to see

one without

consider it a freebie

[Lovelybird]

My brother's ex girlfriend visit me

I told my mother "don't cry, please, when you meet her"

"ok" my mother agreed

then when we saw her,

Nobody cried but me

 

she said I changed too much

we are going to go mad shopping tomorrow

she will tell me how she lives in New York

 

I was going to show her I can play an instrument

she said if only I won't torture her sentiment

well, let's see

 

[LikeTheWolf]

i believe one changes

as much as they need to be

and should not feel it necessary

 

maybe your friend

changed to little

it should never be rueful

 

i'd like to know what you play

and i am sure you sound ok

well, she'll see

 

-ltw

[Lovelybird]

She said "you changed much", she meant well

I said "you didn't change at all", I meant well

I become a grown lovely lady

she is just as slim as long before

 

That instrument I play is as such

Count

Think

Scratch head

Move finger

And kick

 

Guess

 

And thank you for asking

[LikeTheWolf]

I'm a total bad ass

i break all the rules

i'm a total rebel without a cause

i'm laughing at you, fools

 

i don't return the shopping cart

i leave it in the lot

i fill my basket with frozen food

then leave it so it melts and rot

 

i'll drive past the speed limit

blowing by you 5 miles faster

sometimes i just let the phone ringer

never moving to answer

 

I'm a freak'n bastard

evil darkness is my fuel

i'm a wicked insurgent in this world

and you're nothing but a mule

 

i turn the volume up on the TV display

and set all the alarms on the clocks

when I try on a shirt i don't fold it back

and i unravel the socks

 

I'm a total reckless

i'll break your golden rule

i'm a total delinquent

you are nothing but a tool

 

i face the wall in the elevator

nor do i hold open the door

i don't take just a penny from the change dish

i take 3 or 4

 

i am total destruction

i'll break every single rule

i totally reject authority

you are so totally uncool

 

i take extra tickets at the deli counter

and watch them call for no one

i uninstall the games on the local PC

so no one has any fun

 

when i leave the theater i shout the ending

to those waiting in line

or when i'm at the company raffle

i'll claim a prize that isn't mine

 

I'm a total bad ass

i break all the rules

i'm a total rebel without a cause

i'm laughing at you, fools

i really don't know what to guess

is it a keyboard you possess?

[Lovelybird]

You are almost right

 

Yesterday night, no enough guest room for her

She came to my king size bed

and soon fall asleep

 

I was woke until late

Suddenly "puff" from other side

"alright, everybody farts, no biggie"

thought myself

Then I fall asleep

 

Today is a nice day

Looking foward to go to shop

I am going to try all things that I like

Maybe we will have a big harvest

and remember

"control myself

control myself

...."
