Fire me into the Sun Sol Invictus, we are one. Swallow me, O’ swollen sea Let Posieden come to me. Saturn once was King of Sky Once was Sol, a wholesome guy We must view the past for clues. We told ourselves just what to do And what events had come to pass. It’s just…

And pretty much the only people who get to see this shit besides whomever might occasionally get it in their feed on there is you guys. It’s really worth opening this thread and reading all of these little poems but this is the one where I made myself cry with the final line.

I Damn Near Thought I Loved Her…

She wanted less than I could give Our spirits weren’t aligned. Though some would call me crazy, I realized even then That she just did not challenge me. A surface love of skin— And though I gave and gave and gave All that I had to give, She drained…

We came over to Utopia But could not recognize it. A blissful land ‘o plenty Then thought we’d supersize it. ‘Manifest Destiny,’ We called it with no shame. We called the natives savages And then, their land, we claimed. We didn’t know we didn’t know And then assumed the right To push aside our fellow…

Come one come all Come near. Come far. Lend an ear You’ll want to hear What I have to say You will rue the day When you left your home This world, to roam. An evil spreads It rears its head Oh, it’s dark and night Steals the Sun so bright. If you let it…

Flitting butterflies are bringing Simple kinds of rain Cries ignored are barely heard O’er cries of grievance slain. People wander in the dark Cause if they had a clue They’d urinate themselves in fear And not know what to do. They’d leap like Lemmings off a cliff Into the ocean blue.

You’re not as prolific a poet as me Just look at my google docs Then you will see! There’s never been no one as noisy as me! <pretends to read aloud> I looked up your number, I just was in town I looked you up even though last time around A man had to comfort…
