In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
Stepen Crane (1895)

I took the way less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
(by Percy Bysshe Shelley)

I am a signature.
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory —
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
True! Nervous. Very, very dreadfully nervous -- But why would you say that I am mad??
Take a guess....

[link] - I can has dragons?
[link] - Win With Me!
creeps in this petty pace from day to day
to the last syllable of recorded time.
And all out yesterdays have lighted fools
the way to dusty death.
Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow,
a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."
-William Shakespeare

Touch me and I'll sue you.
Niggers are blue
You open up photoshop
And fuck with the hue
The only poem I can.

Tu madre tiene un bigote!
Tell me I'm kind,
Tell me I'm talented,
Tell me I'm cute,
Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise,
Tell me I'm perfect-- But tell me the truth.
