new poems by nnnn s.

disclaimer: i'm aware that this stuff is very amateur and probably rips off a bunch of people i read in high school. as odd as it sounds, i think this is mostly fictional. blah.

Posting some stuff already written in abridged version. 

oh man, watch the cheezy-ness on these ones. i think this is a funny representation of me cause i only post a small fraction of all my scribblings. it's like you're missing 3/4 of a looping track. this boils down to another disclaimer and advisement that these scribblings shouldn't be ascribed to me, as a person. rather to me, as a robot.

"I never want everything ever"

I never want everything, ever

(what precipitates is so emotional)

 

Your loveliness is teasing

and if you know I still love you

why do we make this wonderful

   charade

I love it.

because to be with you

but not be your burden

to touch you never hurts you

I never injure you --

There is nothing closer to heaven.

 

some day 

 bursts with a hard bounce 

I'll be like 'banded'

 until then --

        this.

 

written 2.24.03

you cradle me into sleep 

detaching me from you 

   you from me 

(sex is fury 

  and 

buries us in its wake.) 

   when was the last time 

        we 

wrote each other stories?

 

3.17.03

What's with writing love poems in these times? I think I must write in my stapling fliering emailing angering phone calls to mr. wazoo. and during all that, i have these wilco dreams that i keep silent. so this is the vent. frivolity - is that a word?

i can only be self-mocking. at least in the last "stanza"


written 3.17.03

"Once you held my hand w/o meaning to"

A vulnerability wincing

a tenderness smarting

at its own instant reflection

 

throw away --

discard --

the most beautiful thing I have ever felt (yes)
how can I?

I hate for dreaming

I love with cutting corners

So that in some pocket

there remains my sweetest being

my most acute mostsuffering mostbending mostnumbing mostcringing mostboring(!)

anxiety of loveliness

 

sigh in your sneeze

and pulse your blinking

so that you may be true & blue

vibrant and growing

loving and loving.

written 2.24.03: struggle to talk to people literally, so i take to writing poetry. am fairly sure that i'm not really writing to anyone real. take this is fiction, might as well be. all poems in this section untitled.

#1

you rendered yourself inaccessible

        to me

(As I was to you?)

Now I only hear

        in bits

            pieces

- from people who were strangers until I-

          began to dream of you

        and

        your world entered mine -

that you are affected by a disappearance

that did not strike me

but dulled me

did not haunt me

but called me

        with

all the possibilities make-believe

all the futures lapsed.

 

No more quizzical glances

Almost, if chances

If you mourn something that never was

is it because you are fixed

on morbidity?

I don't hate myself for not loving

(this is a new characteristic of me)

But retracing steps

Hedging old bets

I would have done things

    differently.

            *

I don't even know why I'm writing you
(I don't even know you)

I don't know why I'm writing you
(I don't love you)

I don't know why I'm writing you
(my life is not with you)

Because this world is a cold, dying place

And sojourns are brief

    fleeing.

How can I hand you poetry

I only ever see pain in your eyes

otherwise.

- not a surprise -

I

see

nothing

you're gone gone

with a quick quick

suggestion of magnificence

I can't help but remember

you've always seemed this way.

Will you hate me If I Tell You

I'm writing you a letter

With a love-song header

About everything I'll never believe
(cause even if, I'd always leave)

You make me wish I was

somehow

       different.

 

It's your beauty that startles me

    into

        awake

And I can't help but want to

pick apart the mistakes

    clawing at my life.
