Hewed (Free verse) by horus8
I will not be your fucking Hamlet your common denominator my mother despises me for having passed through her body just like all of the others that came before me, but in originating reverse. her father maybe my father. I will not pretend that i understand how nature chooses to evolve or, why i prefer the sun to the moon and a struck midnight, instead of a tired noon. all of this fighting is killing me, but i don't care, and either do you. insatiable appetites and definitions. my hands are shatter smashed into the faces of me, but on them and theirs. my screams paint the night a black that would roll your eyes back white and nauseate the most unrighteous toadie. We are all killers for our beast. When i was five, you didn't exist, but i guess you know me. and you, that other one. you only know what i let you. now watch as my words sink dimorphic and join yours forever, unconsoling. with your cute stories and hipped explanations accompanied by your hard earned 'college' text book oral terms Here are some more words for you to graph and get familiar with to weapon. 'material' for your future 'projects'. when i was raped* when i was sodomized** how i was abandoned*** when i was beaten unconscious by your various lovers when i was left with strangers in a strange land for weeks. they showed me how to touch me special and, that one time you super-glued the broom to my right hand, clever. How you are, with love, and the innocent. a real fleshy dynamo a natural leader with your skillfully painted mouth and coverup covering but i never babtised. that rare illness. my love given back to me by the people i was being a boy for. You beat me just right, bloody, for behaving, just a child. wake up, sheets stuck and dried red to the backs of my elbows "see that bird, Jeremi"? that's your dead stepfather "will i be a bird one day too, mother?" no, because i don't think you believe hard enough now, be a good boy and rub mommie's neck and back. Your father is in you i see him get used to visiting him in prison that's all it will ever be just a visit you'll be there one day with him, wait and see "Mother, why was i born"? "you're a version of your father and my father" that i can mannipulate in order to control myself, and you, for us. When they finally took me from you, ten months after the kidnapping. i was your you. your best minimal art, ever. the trench mouth whisper, you taught me, can drive a person insane sometimes both parties including the occasional nosey gawking bystander. The art of deception. yes, thank you mother. i lie so very well last week i convinced myself none of it ever really happened but...truly, my personal favourite? was, how you could disappear, and make me too. my heart for yours, a presage. *love **lovely ***loveliest

I don't know whether to cry, or be scared as hell.

This gripped me like a hangmans noose. Horus this is captivating, Did you write this non stop in some kind of emotional spontaneous combustion? The relationship with your father made the pips in my adams explode **FUCK*** this was one work where the reader is consumed by the subjects in the story, my initial reaction was 'shit its a long one' but like a good book you can't put it down.
When your hearts open horus your one of the best on this site. I dont think you need to be affected by comments on your poems, do not react other than in your writing that is your gifted forte.

I respect this work, its up their with the one you wrote about your children, yet this shows you as the son, the man, and the kindred spirit you have no choice in being. Your work is an illustration of darkness but the clarity in the way you tell it makes it shine, pardon the cliches but a poetic synopsis of your work is apt for a piece as honest and reflective as this.

This is your Golden Q Tip award for showing a side of man most conceal =======10======= (like you probably give a fuck)

yes, that's usually how i write, and why i need a good editor...ahh, my mother..did me dirty...my father, yeah..poor guy, ummm thanks for the que tip, and the ten..i do give a fuck, man, poetry is my life..it allows me an honest release without the filters and restraints of a comfort zone..how's your project coming along..i'm still waiting for your synopsis. are you still putting the play on? i just want to let you know. that i might come across as a monster, because i am, but i have sensibility and an unmeasurable love for 'life', and people who i trust..if i can trust you, i'll carry you around the world on my back and give you everything i have to give, but the problem with that is people take and take and take until, alas, there is no back to carry with
any longer..i feel that i can trust you, can i? if so...i will help you complete your project in an affordable, time efficient manner that will leave them breathless...send me your idea, we'll work from there.s

Thanks H, I am still doing my project but I have to look for a new job as I work in the travel industry and reduncies are imminent as soon as my ship is ready to sail again I'm ready for the big blue, you can trust me and we'll share the piggy back rides and show St Christopher how to carry people through troubled waters upon the blades of shoulders cut to the bone from the constance of the restless relentless.

I know i shouldnt be commenting on your private life when i dont know you but your arguement was there and i read it and now i dont really know what to say or who is right here but i admire you very much-you seem a very strong person.

thank you, i admire you for saying that. There are invisible lines that can and can't be crossed.It's important to recognize them and fight for what you believe in, even if some people's perspectives witnessing it feel you're being hypocrite with your actions or needs. In your mind there is a bell that goes ohh always, right, wrong, good, bad. Don't worry about who's right or wrong (i'm right what she did, was columbine trust me) let me worry about that..and learn a lesson from this, some people will love you to death.e

My favorite by far....we have the mom, the dad, and me? How did I earn the honor of being one of the people that turned you into Hamlet...and yes you're the common denominator. Here's an 8.
