But at least I’m not a depressant....

My space ship of a lamp shade,
This little cardboard room.
What genius exists here,
In the abscence of the moon?...

Beautiful, fragile
Laughing, cuddling, playing
Infant, toddler, adolescent, youth
Maturing, learning, developing
Social, charmer

Furious George, angry adolescent
Whose fury was white-hot incandescent 
   He kept punching a cop
   Foolish kid wouldn't stop ~
The slammer's now curbed his effervescence...

Anticipation 
nights spent alone
miming our conversation
just in case you phone
declare fathomless devotion
no reason to postpone 
claim this heart's commotion 
let your love be known

by the adolescent angst--
Ha, a momentous choice!

Adolescent boys captured, distressed 
eagerly fighting, getting hounded. 
‘Innocent’ Juveniles Knifing Lone Mothers.

It's full of my childhood memories
And those adolescent years...
The Poinciana tree,
All my sorrows and all my fears.
It's the place to be
For long waiting hours,
Those winters with bare branches,
And springs of vermilion flowers......

PUDDLE DUCK

          i
ride the rain
            incessant,
   conspicuously 
        adolescent, stomps
                its feet
          in restless temper —
               puddle duck spawns

Dreams,desires,bitter so sweet
An adolescent trail trodden,
Engulfed by moods,melancholy and sudden;
Aches from a first love leaving,
Painful ye poignant;
Novel experience sadden,then abates
Then will gladden
As mellowed..anticipation awaits....

The knowledge that I am
is not.
Like an hallucination,
I am
nothing more than
a name --
a designation of something
that is
yet to be.

The future must unfold
all that
I become in later years.
For now, 
I know not why,
or, perhaps,
even that I do
exist.......

Ever since I visited Hawaii as an adolescent, I am in awe of volanoes. The surf was, of course also impressive. I learnt much latter, that the two are connected ......

Child feels so drawn,
Liking, befriending.

Preteen feeling so innocently,
Crushing, admiring.

Adolescent feelings of promiscuity,
Attraction, infatuation.

Adult feeling of committing,
Loving, dating.

Soul feelings of destiny,
Promising, marrying....

Brings perfume from the wind
Creating adolescent abound 
Consuming all five senses and the mind
Blooming our world of nature intertwined

My mom, with the green
witch's casual, sour malice,  
can verbally kill.

But she is easily
deceived by disguise 
- my body is a mask.

My submission is
but a costume - my calm
the offered lie.

I detest my own
pale, small, adolescent 
answers - my weakness....

Tis splendor in the grass these coming summer days
America’s youth can have their privileged adolescent ways
Swimming and playing or simply being laid back
They have little worries without any teacher’s flack
Enrich they youngish self before the inevitable groans of early Mondays...

I.

The grave is the adolescent goal,
Death’s the teenage cult,
Byronic, the melodramatic role,
With suicide, oft the result.

II.

Transcending malaise is the urgent task,
Evading those marble tombs;
Your soul in Sonlight beams must bask,
Defying Death’s crypt-like gloom....
