Bottle Caps And Belly Button Lint
You collect old bottle caps and belly button lint. I don't find you strange; I find you endearing. And maybe it's because we're both locked up on the top floor of a mental hospital. And you're the only other person I have to talk to. Yeah, that has to be it. ...

Hound in a Button-Down
There come those moments when men cease to be men And turn into dogs. Dogs that bite and dogs that whine; Dogs that lay Panting On top of you And infect you with their spilling saliva Dulled eyes full of starving thoughts of violence. They’re all so charming until you see the rabies in their mouths And their lips, Docked by their hunger Grinning like...

And with Sound of Music...

pause button look around, do you see me near, just two lovers in a world unclear. take a break from the hustle and bustle of nine to five—be my guest, with a caress that makes the moment feel blessed. leave all the worries behind, as this love will not be defined. hold me in your arms, let everything be still, capture the longing...

Premium Member belly button reminder
frothy fluffy frazzled fluff lives in my bellybutton said agent **** Frenzied frogs do not have a clue Having no bellybutton as they grew. My bellybutton is an instant reminder to me. Placenta which provided nourishment to thee. Myself and placenta attached by a fleshy cord. Severed in delivery room by a young doctor’s sword....

I look for you in the stars, and in the streets, and all the people I greet. I look for you in books of poetry. Such a place to find, yet unaware that I'm lost, like a button. Arrive home from work to flip through pages of a book I knew as a child, yet still not remember the reason, so special then. It...

Pushing the Button
Practice the pause. When in doubt, pause. When angry, pause. When tired, pause. When stressed, pause. And when you pause, pray.” —Toby Mac ~~~~~~~~ A movie runs on. In a high tower a facsimile of your open eyes burns through a celluloid strip of film. A pinpoint of heat made a hole - It burned through perception. A sentient hand reaches out from mindfulness, it punches...
