Guilt's Many Pleasures/Pains

spin the wheel of bad options

select a random one

take it down to have fun

hang it back up where it belongs

slice myself with the wheel

tear through my throat

out of guilt

painful guilt

for how i treat these girls

Gymnastic Trophy

Gymnastic Trophy

Karyn Indursky

Intense green-blue eyes light up
before a lean, toned body
does one flip after another
with ease and grace whipping
satin around subtle curves
while dance moves shimmer
below bright lights as
she spins whimsically around
and  slips into a split
at the end of her song
with her head held high
when she's given her
Gymnastic trophy.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A special tribute to all those women, who go against the grains of men believed to being better for years and conquering the odds to give us the freedom and rights we have now.

H O M E L E S S

 

Vamoose.

Scram.

Make hast,

what a disgrace about the place.

Disgusting filthy beasts,

make hast.

 

I am taking a hit in my wallet.

Bankruptcy.

Foreclosures.

Disgrace.

More of the same

with the same shit,

but nothing to gain.

Get lost,

just please get lost.

 

Stop harassing my customers

with your existence.

You smelly

dirty

man-things.

Stumbling.

Staggering.

Propped up on a pair of welfare stilts.

 

Trash.

Fallen leaves.

Debris.

Rejects.

Washing down the social gutter,

cleaning the stench and

community refuse.

Typical bums,

diminishing my good service.

 

Excuse me please,

Tax payers have to work.

Your very essence,

disturbs my purse.

Now please leave,

you unsightly vagabonds.

 

You vagrants.

Leave.

Depart.

Your are stealing my client space.

Your presence.

Your aura.

Your continence.

Your very revolting self,

is chasseing my best customers

out of my place.

Please leave.

Just leave!

 

Hold on with your ignorant self

you fail to recognize,

Sir!

We are your forgotten prized customers.

Oh,

the shame!

The shameful shame.

 

It is you who look around us,

through us,

pass us,

beyond us,

and down upon us,

while failing to see familiar faces

in ancient relationships.

 

Can you not recognize your kins?

Though our usually faces lies behind,

grime,

and slime,

with hairstyles undefined.

 

Maybe,

your are looking through dirty lenses.

Clean your cornea,

if you please.

 

But,

We have the same heart,

the same soul,

if you look deep enough?

Did you really know us?

 

Perhaps it is because

we forgot to dawn the usually armour,

clad in Queen Elizabeth’s green back.

Brandishing John A. Macdonald’s

purple shield.

Wielding William Line Mackenzie King’s

red sword,

to cut straight to the chase.

Shrouded by Wilfred Laurier

blue robe to keep out the cold.

While flying upon high,

Robert Borden’s

brown conquistador flag.

 

Remember.

Recall.

Listen to my monologue.

We use to be “...pretty boys;”

Men with pretty haircuts with nips and tucks.

Sculptures of professional artist,

parlaying their products.

advertising wares,

snips and snipping of there fountain of youth,

rolled tight in plastic wraps.

 

Ah,

the shining two tone lizard shoes,

and designer Armani’s suits,

bought at Boutiques on a Sunday afternoon.

 

The silken,

not satin Calvin Cline’s underpants,

keeping the twins warm and tight.

I sure do miss them.

 

I remember our long graceful strides

down the boardwalk,

as though the streets were paved with gold.

We once owned the curb.

 

Just showing off,

pretending we are “all that,”

flashing bling blings,

of five finger diamond rings,

and a wrist advertised signature for success,

Swiss platinum precision instrument.

 

The good times are now gone.

The clock has struck 12:00.

Cinderella,

it is time to leave the ball,

for the pipe piper is here to collect.

 

I bid thee adieu,

My old friend.

But before I leave,

pour me a double-double to go,

please,

for the cold dark road.

Howling like wolves...
Croaking like toads...

Embroidered into eyes...
Quilted into minds...
Quilted into souls...

Give me a manicure.
Paint my nails.

Cut my hair.
Color my hair.
Make me beautiful.

Wax my eyebrows.
Make the shape perfect.

Talk with me.
Listen attentively.
Make me feel mesmerizing.

Hairs Of Friendship

Locks of laughter.
Strands of smiles.
Textures of trust.
Styles of sisterhood.
Weaves of wonder.
Wigs of wisdom.
Extensions of enthusiasm.
Curls of colors.
Clips of creativity.
Pigments of preciousness.
Barrettes of brilliance.
Highlights of hugs.

Half Hearted Apology

this pain

this torment

this horrible venture

this nightmarish journey

when will it end

will it ever end

what have i done

how could this happen

to me

to you

it isnt fair to either party involved

i want something i can never have

something i should never want

never be

never need

i didnt want it to end like this

i didnt want it to end

but was there another option

was there another way to make things work

make things run

the earth spin

the room spin

my head spin

it hurts

it stings

falling all over myself

falling faster

i didnt want to do this

i didnt want to drag you down

dont listen to me

it doesnt mean a thing

doesnt ammount to much

never has

probably never will

its ok

no its not

never is

damaged

damaging

destroyed

down to not much more than a single thread

and i brought you along

ruined you

destroyed you

almost robbed you of all the good in you

all the magic you once had

still have

im sorry

two words that could never say enough

mean what i meant it to mean

what i still mean it to mean

im sorry

death to my heart

death to all that is me

i dont want to drag you to your doom

i dont...

i dont...

never

making no sense

not anymore

i should shut up

i should say no more

no more

im sorry

so sorry

Halloween.

The night is lovingly black.
Caresses the demons about to attack.
Stars litter the booming silence,
Quiets the mortals crying for deliverance.
Blood strokes like a gentle lover,
Soothing the vampires throats over.
Moon hangs heavily in the sky;
Entrancing the wolves to howl and cry.
The wind ruffles the Fall leaves,
Making even the ghouls drop to their knees.
Houses are dimmed and quiet,
The witches are holding their breaths to keep silent.
A monotonous sound of the clock striking twelve,
And all the sorceri are casting tonight's spell.
Screams, shrieks, and howls inturrupt the night;
Beings prancing about in delight.
The veil between worlds is pierced,
Monster of many kind come through and strike fear.
Both big and small they've come,
To celebrate before the rising sun.
And both kindly and monsterous they will go,
Before any of the humans ever know.

Author's Notes:
This was just made in favour of my love to Halloween; my favourite holiday. ♥

HAND OF THE BEAST

The century of greed,

a time of moral decadence

for cravenous needs.

 

Corruption is the norm

by hook or by crook is the social calm

before the impending storm.

 

Gobbling gluttons

Grabbing grabbers

Accumulating whatever can be had

before the endtime is born into a world gone mad.

 

The “HAND OF THE BEAST”

to affect it’s millennium least.

 

Is here for the endgame plan

upon the prepared land

for a thousand year span.

 

The “...Shadow’s Fist”

the Beast Herald

preparing for the day to brand each,

and everyone with it’s hand

six

six

six.

 

Remember the one who has fallen

signature call.

 

You best

accept his number one,

and all

even under duress.

 

Or else,

you will not

eat

sleep

or rest.

 

To be welcomed

into the devilish nest.

 

Bear the beast crest

else

you will not

buy

sell

or invest.

 

This is the test

to avoid your life being in a mess

fast approaching our door steps.

Handcrafted Text

Handcrafted Text

Karyn Indursky

Pastel colors of painted words
decorate my expression more clearly
than a zoomed in, red eyed denied snapshot
for showing you the truth
behind your blinder wearing eyes
never noticing what lies beneath
superficial watercolor surfaces when I fear
your responses, but not now as
your eyes fill with my glossy
handcrafted text.

Pouring droplets of velvet.
Blanketing feet of satin.
Covering tables of cotton.
Painting canvas of spandex.

 

Dividing barriers of injustices.
Splitting lumbers of majorities.
Chopping carrots of preconceptions.
Burning fires of biases.

 

Band-aids for hearts.
Batteries for courtesy.
Cables for capabilities.
Pallets for diversity.

 

Bridges of communication.
Eyes of unity.
Laces of connections.

Soothing sounds.
Rampaging rants.

Flowered formats.
Twitching technology.
Gliding grammar.
Supplying solitude.
Allowing awareness.
Expressing emotions.

Handwritten Poetry

Handwritten Poetry

Karyn Indursky



 
Crafting poetry with
fluttering hands dancing
across pages with word
paint accenting expressions
from your eyes
into the depths of poetry
to unbind your talent
with graphics animating 
your poetry to dance into
muses of creativity
for sharing the core
of essence unrelenting
with vivid imagery popping
veins of communication
until you've molded
handwritten poetry.

Happiness

Happiness

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

Her tears fell like heavy rain. 
Her face was red and wet. 
Her lips quivered. 
Her eyes looked like glass. 
Her body shook. 
She tried to fight her tears from coming. 
She couldn't. 
The happiness of her daughter's birth was so strong. 
All of the thoughs in her head vanished. 
Her heart filled with joy. 
When her eyes met her daughter's, the tears stopped. 
She wiped her tears away. 
Her eyes filled with admiration. 
She smiled.

Happiness In LIfe

Happiness In Life

Karyn Indursky

Amazing creatures surround my being at night
with fireflies glowing brightly under my gazing
eyes seeking a falling star for one wish
without honestly knowing what or who I want
when there's a lot of options caressing me
as I'm blinded by their temptations erasing everything
I thought was reality before exposing glimpses of
hidden treasures seemingly only known to singing birds
on telephone wires belting out jazzy tunes like jukeboxes
offered for free unlike expenses presented to me when I
ignore our adoring wildlife highlighting beautiful wonders
displayed periodically throughout my gritty travels
in finding what truthfully matters about finding
happiness in life.

Happy Birthday Conner

Happy Birthday Conner

Happy Birthday Conner!

9/18/09

To my little boy,
Who has a smile
Spouting at his eyes
Until it spreads
Upon his lips.

To my little boy,
Who makes me laugh
No matter where we are
Or who’s involved
Each and every day.

To my little boy,
Who gives the best
Hugs, kisses, snuggles
And more inspiration
Than anyone.

To my little boy,
Who holds my heart
In his palms
Through the fun times
And the bad.

To my little boy,
Who deserves happiness
On his birthday
And Into the future
With Mommy’s love on his side.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dedication: Conner Michael Indursky, let my words be a sweet caress and butterfly kiss on your big day. You’re 3 now! (October 26) Love You Always, Mommy

Happy Easter! (haiku)

Happy Easter! (Haiku)

Karyn Indursky

 

Hip-pet-ty hop down
Peter Cottontail's bunny
trail of Easter's joys.

 

Children will find their
baskets full of goodies and
eat everything there.

 

Toddlers will giggle
instead of picking up those
hiding painted eggs.

 

Babies will be dolls
dressed up not knowing what is
going on with smiles.

 

Parents will attempt
to get their children to pose
for a camera lense.

 

May everyone's day
be blessed with their family
for celebrating.

 

For those who do not
have their family with them,
they are in your heart.

Happy?

Happy?

Karyn Indursky

 

Seas of emotions
swirl in me
creating the biggest
complexity.
I wish I could control
the urges to cry
and who could live or die.
When that one person
was taken from me,
I felt a sorrow so deep
that I wish it was me.
How can I not love him more than me
when he was on the right track and
more going than I did?
It's just not a possibility.
So, the emotions swirl 'round and 'round
making me angry, hurt, lost, confused, and not knowing where to go or who to turn to.
The tears overflow and my sea grows
in an unrelenting way.
I wish that I could take his place
or bring him back,
but it isn't so.
Instead,
I'm stuck in a world
alone and
hurt
and
ever so angry.
Yet, I'm told that he's here with me.
How can this be so when I can't talk to him or feel or sense him like I use to?
Maybe,
I'm just going crazy
and the world doesn't know it yet.
I don't know.
I really don't.
I wish he was here and that is that.

hardly inspired

I sit in my pain

alone... 

but I have a friend

who likes to say funny things

and I enjoy that a lot

but it's not lifting me up

like it usually does

I hurt deep inside

because of my love

and it keeps me at bay

inspiration is plugged

I lost my freedom

this very day

a conversation

killed what I thought was okay

and so I stay away

from the love that's within

but I'm still fighting 

for inspiration to win

Has the love vanished?

Delinquet shadows tread upon the surface of my cerebral cortex

Disowning any peace that happens to be left

A jelly like substance that once covered the world

Has dehydrated, my love

Is in drought

My naked eye now cluttered

With noise that hurts both inside and out

What a inconvenience this picketed movement has proven to become

I walk in silence but my toungue is corrupt

Somedays 

As my muscles crunch in resistance to what my conditioning has pitched

I erupt into a wildland fire that blazes over the crops I so intricately have stitched

 

An elixer to heal such a thing does not exist, I must grow from expierence 

Laziness is not an option in this equation

And when it shows, I subconsciously fortell failure

And my expression proves it

My energy proves it

I move swiftly through the dam that births many obstacles

Perhaps I can find my peace more quickly

If I go over the rock instead of around

In such an attempt I miss a valuable lesson

No closer to home than I was a day ago

My expression proves it

My energy proves it

 

Never ceasing the attention to my woes

That have built over the years into an invisible force

How it's hold is so elusive 

yet so strong it seems

Tightening every moment I breathe

have you ever loved someone and nothing else mattered?

Have you ever really loved someone

 

i mean really loved someone

 

they could be a jerk and you'd still love them

 

they could turn their back on you and you'd still love them

 

they could ignore you and say bad things and be in love with someone else

 

and you'd still love them

 

shrinks call it unconditional love

 

churches say its how god loves us

 

but have you ever known what that kinda love felt like?

 

its awesome

 

it feels like everything else is petty

 

it feels like eternity

 

it feels like you finally got something right.

Have you?

Have you seen Jesus have you talked with the Sun? Have you been to Hel and met with Hel yea she had me sprung, have you seen shadows with no bodies or ancient symbols on walls? Have you walked alone through the woods and seen ghosts in the forest? Have you heard voices before quakes have you been with the clouds? Have you disarmed crowds by throwing up a peace sign, have you ever jumped 10 seconds in air, chasing someone down they look back and start screaming, all they see is a shadow, like when an eagle strikes, I got pictures of Jesus, I got him on film twice.

Hawaiian Dancers (Haiku)

Hawaiian Dancers (Haiku)

Karyn Indursky

 

Hawaiian dancers
swivel their hips to music
while telling stories.

 

While telling stories
their arms rhythmically gesture
with people watching.

 

With people watching
hair is floating down their backs
in tender whispers.

 

In tender whispers
inspiration coaxes their
feet to belly dance.

Hawaiian Sonnet

Hawaiian Sonnet

Karyn Indursky

 

Shall I compare thee voice to musical cord?

Thou voice is more like a soprano singer

talented enough to make thy record

knowing how to make your sweet notes linger.

 

My feet go a tap, tap, tap to each beat

dancing to your belly-dancer story

while your chorus sings off lyrical sheets

and harmony sets the stage with glory.

 

Thy audience demands an encore now.

Thou talent is cherished and demanded.

An elegant performance deserves bows.

Love for Hawaiian song and dance expanded.

 

So long as voices and dancing allure

fans will continue to return for more.

Hazel Eyes

Hazel Eyes

Her hazel eyes of envy 
come alight with dynamite

and she realizes that

or coerce me into hiding 
nor will it destroy me.

HA…, THE JOY OF DISCOVERY

I will try to write

this most beloved rhyme in 3 by 7 lines.

 

The art of self enlightenment

to fill the empty chambers

of our hearts in 7 loveable parts.

 

To discover our self

is a journey through

the minds of our ancestors,

both living and dead.

 

A journey

within a journey

to discover one's self.

Is but yet, another inward journey

backward through one's cognitive universe

of our own personal self.

 

To embrace

accept

and love the real me.

 

That stands alone as a glorious prize

with wonders to be discovered,

and treasures to be beholden at the finish line.

He Just Loves the Taste

he watches as the sun slowly dies of the distant horizon

as his lungs slowly die with each long drag he takes

he stops, pauses to consider the situation hes found himself in

yet decides a slow intoxication his best option

with each drink his liver cries as does he

as he finds himself hopeless and helpless

but each drink makes forgetting the pain that much easier

and theres so much pain that he forgets how much he drank to forget

but he tells her hes fine

tells her he just likes the taste

and on and on and on he goes

faking his way through each and every day

now he drinks so much, conciousness is extinct

and ever so present is his blood on the sink

not much to hold onto but the bottle in his hand

and the burning cigarette that hangs from his lips

as it burns out his lungs

hes learned he loves to lie

and he tells her hes fine

and that he just loves the taste

of the gun in his mouth

but hes alright, just fine

He thought about her again.

He thought about her again

 
     It seemed so natural
 
Like gravity
     
     And breath
 
And closing your eyes to sleep
 
 
 
     She's glowing somewhere
 
Lighting up a room.

He uses black magik

Magik as fuck


we make a great team


inspiration exploding


right out the seams


My perfect muse


He makes me sing


and hardly has to


do a darn thing


He stole my heart

 

I can't help myself


For him I'd to anything


I deep under his spell

He's A Successful Man

He's A Successful Man...

Karyn Indursky

 

He's a successful man
in his prodigious business
without any regrets staring
him in the face
when he closes his
eyes late at night
while his wife lies
slain in the street
from the man he
had hired to take
care of his personal
business away from work
where they're blindly enchanted
by his picture perfect
smile, attire, clients, money,
but the law isn't
fooled by anything he
tries in another deception.

I wrote this poem while watching a LifeTime movie, "Dead Before Dawn."

He's Moody

He's Moody

Karyn Indursky

"He's just moody"
the mother warns
her children before
he grabs her
no longer innocent
child for punishment
over a ruined
couch she split
paint accidentally on,
but his abuse
is never mistaken
by silent victims
for if they
were to speak
he'd surely kill
them all without
shedding a tear
and after them
he'll find new
victims to his
cycle of violence.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem while watching a movie on Lifetime called, "In the Best Interest of the Child."

He's Not A Terror

 

 
 

He's Not A Terror

Karyn Indursky

 

He's not a terror
even with him enjoying
running in the hallways,
flickering all our lights,
tickling everyone in sight,
hiding food anywhere imaginable,
giving raspberries to stomachs,
getting irritable when tired,
crying over minute things,
chatting his own language,
testing all his boundaries,
tampering with every door,
plotting to sneak outside,
pouting his little lips,
tugging with tiny hands,
running from diaper changes,
and being my nephew.

Author's Notes:
Even if your family pushes your buttons from time to time, the bottom line is it's Family and we love each other no matter what.

Head On Collision

usher in the frontal waves of the storm

in form of saline tears from eyes

a body becomes a brittle board

for a sickle scared soul to sail on

aggressive tendencies of watery fists

fought off with a ruby kiss, a bloody shot

words paint stones to pile into a wall

but walls cannot save a soul from a storm, or itself

Healing Me Within

Healing Me Within

Karyn Indursky

 

God's cradling me
in His arms
as I rock myself
in a rocker of cries
back, forth, back, forth
while emotions become raw
without defensive restraints
towards anyone, especially Him,
when nothing else
ceases to matter
before, during, after
feeling God's stroking fingers
healing me within.

Heart

Jesus is the son of God. I am the son of man. He is life after love I am life after death. The holy spirit in my flesh but I too get frustrated. I promise I'll be ready by the time of my birthday. I can't write nothing else these are all my confessions and poems about feelings with different interpretations. Angels, demons and aliens. Whispers calling my name. Whispers saying they love me I zone out and that's where I'm there. Jesus is my teacher. I quote him I am the way. Everyone falls short of his glory but try because it's ok. Sometimes a simple sorry it's all that needs to be said. Don't want any titles I love everyone the same but if the flesh is combined your body is only for me. Although I'm also enlightened I might just give you permission. Always speak the truth it's a beautiful thing.

Heart on a Wild Ride

I was running through the wilderness,

Heart torn and eyes too big to see,

In my fortress of solitude,

A temporary space to escape in,

You came to me in my dreams.

 

Now my heart beats proudly, as you’re holding on to me,

I painted perfection; it’s only you that I can see.

You’ve taught me I’m a fighter,

When naked, I still believe,

You are more than just a figment of imagination.

 

This love is a fire, that when touched it can heal,

Burning passion lingers, the reason I breathe,

The future is ours, a wild ride together; we are free,

We are just ordinary people in our extra-ordinary worlds,

When with you there’s nothing I can’t believe,

I loved you before I met you,

You came to me in my dreams.

 

 

Author's Notes:
The repeat of the refrain may bug some people, but it's to show from the beginning to the present (there is no end).

Heartbreak's Redundant

Heartbreak's Redundant

Karyn Indursky

You say you'll call,
you don't.
You say you'll show up,
you won't.
You say you'll coming online,
you're not.
You say you'll treat a woman right,
you don't.
You say so many things
and with the slamming of reality's door,
it's hollow, fake, and redundant.

Hearten gnomes

Any image I project with these symbols we've grown to call our language

Are all summoned from my head

For my only experience is that of the same

Because little gnomes stand in my heart and see not the beauty

But a brick wall that stands high in my heart

Where division settles frequently 

Where hatred carresses my gentle soul

 

My love is hidden

This horse I have ridden

Many of times

I have been bitten

And the venom sends me to my demise

I file the files that reside in my eyes

And every new file leaves me defiled

I'll stay here awhile 

Because this vile

This bile

Has now become my nature

Any natural Living Has long ago been ceased

Never can I fold the paper in a balanced crease

My engines depleted of oil and grease

Friction and effort is what keeps me

And it's killing

It's killing

 

There's not a feeling more known 

To a fool stranded in his own home

As I move through the gallery I feel as if a drone

For it's not till later I understand it's beauty

Takes me a bit so please don't dismiss me

I have nothing to offer, not even a kiss, you see?

I'm a fool, a martyr, I have no purpose

My linked chains station me on an island of murkiness

I'm roasting

Slowly

There's nothing here that I perform boldly

Cowardice motions reoccuring boisterously and coldly

I have grown so lonely

And it's labeled my home

Destined to be a headcorner stone

For the builders refused

To use me

Such a stone tarnished with mold has no use

Hearts Burn Love

Hearts Burn Love

Karyn Indursky

Acid burns flesh.
Flesh burns blood.
Blood burns carpet.
Carpet burns bodies.
Bodies burn lies.
Lies burn truths.
Truths burn forgiveness.
Forgiveness burns bridges.
Bridges burn friendships.
Friendships burn lovers.
Lovers burn relationships.
Relationships burn hearts.
Hearts burn love.

Heaven Embraces Newcomers

Heaven Embraces Newcomers

Karyn Indursky

A family makes the hardest decision
when watching their beloved die
and realize there is no hope left
for this individual to die with dignity
along with many other things earned
throughout his life on Earth.
A family makes the hardest decision
when watching their beloved die
before them as they have to be strong
when for years he was there for them.
A family makes the hardest decision
when watching their beloved die
upon our Earth given to us by God
before they cry in sorrow while
heaven embraces newcomers.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for my family because today they had to decide to pull the plugs on my grandfather, John Indursky, to abide to his living will. God bless his soul and all that fills his essence.

Heinously Committing Adultery

Heinously Committing Adultery

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

Bare-naked before you she stands revealing 
her externality only to please your 
straying eyes from lurking on another 
scarlet haired woman skimpily dressed in 
sheer black diamond stockings exposing skin 
up to her lace trimmed mini 
skirt with turquoise embroidery shimmering 
elegantly under your gaze before showing you 
black diamond sequins bouncing off lights 
in her mockery of a blouse only buttoned above 
cantaloupe breasts perking in acknowledge of 
growls burning your tight throat wanting 
more than temptation, but with your 
wife blocking your way you have 
no one to stray to for one last night 
before she serves divorce papers for 
heinously committing adultery.

Her Crime, My Time

a lost girl, unsure if she could name love if it hovered in her face

never given much in the ways of affection and compassion

drastically shaping esteem

srastically making her crave affection like some drug

her fault - absolutely not

but why does my heart always have to pay

when she decides to play

Her Pain Ruptures...

Her Pain Ruptures...

Karyn Indursky

 

Her pain ruptures
my coherent thoughts,
making me reach
out to her to wipe
away those tears
streaking her beautifully
soft skin hidden
behind her depression
from that one fateful
accident, which she
blames herself for
without listening to
rational reasoning when
her heart explodes
with tears destroying
what was once
a happy woman.
Her pain ruptures
my coherent thoughts,
making me reach
out to her to wipe
away those tears
streaking her beautifully
soft skin hidden
behind her depression
displayed by marks
in and outside of her,
showing her raw
emotion penetrated by
constant taunting memories
as they ruin
everything in her life.
Her pain ruptures
my coherent thoughts,
making me reach
out to her to wipe
away those tears
streaking her beautifully
soft skin hidden
behind her depression
in a puddle of tears
upon my floor
of helplessness when
she doesn't want to
allow me to
be a friend in
easing her pain
by putting up a
flood gate to her tears.

Here

feet, firmly in the ground

holding me in place, as i stand on my own

but i need you here with me

before the waves come crashing down

just because im strong enough

doesnt mean i want to fly solo

just because i can stand alone

doesnt mean i have any desire to

i could wander through this storm alone

but its nowhere near the top of my list

withstand the winds

withstand the rain

even though i could pull through

it wouldnt be the same without you

Hi, I'm crazy

Hi crazy how do you do?

I'm just fine, how  are you?

As swell as bananas covered in green, Listening to sun dance music, listening to dreams.

Sweet, that's nice, and how is your cleaver?

Sharp as ever thanks for asking, have you seen my bat, are you intrigued by acting?

 

Dirt, I love dirt, so low to the ground, it smells of failure and it is so proud!

Rub it all over my face my pants my cardboard box, that I will soon be living in because it supplies my rocks

 

Such as windows and frames and panes of sorts that tickle my indulgence and take me to court

I will escort the sort of insane that you claim to be I will widow your heart into a pale of no dreams

Burning in pity and skys of blue until you open your eyes into the green hue of dew

HAHA!

you fool, you are a tool, you walk in hinges rusted by the piss of creatures of doom!

You hush now sir, for you know who I am, I shall do the insulting upon myself you innocent man.

You innocent pitiful sad little sam, I outta take your hair and throw you to the depths.

There you may sit and sulk and weep, there you may cower in a dark lonely sleep.

For now, this crazy man is to be noticed I'm not falling apart I'm shredding my skin, and than I shall melt, for the light of this so called holy magnificence is what's going to kill me for it's as elusive as a dream upon waking, so take your morals and throw them to the sharks, their blood thrusting teeth will welcome such insanity like a brick in a tree!

 

Ridicule my behaivor as much as you PLEASE, who am I to stop you from killing a bee, a creep, a wallow, an ugly swallow, ankle deep in shallow. From head to toe don't you know that I have been alone, roamed through deserted streets of angry gnomes of chrome, I welcome fury for it's all I see take your peace and love and things of such nature, I've tried it I SAY, and it existed never. I gave it shot and that is gone, call it giving up or whatever the hell you want, but the fact is that the bark of a tree is as solid as rock, through red signs I go and green I stop, you can take all that crock and shove it into a pot cook it and eat it and shit it again, you can call me sam winkle, you can call me smith, I do not care, Do I breathe air or is it toxins, from the foulness of your words that claim to know, just what the hell my message pertains to yo. I'll ask you nicely but really I'm mean, my teeth are yellow and gangly and they wish to defeat, so you can plead with innocence you can maill me your letters you can take all my thumbtacks and stick them on a steel fist headed right for my face, locusts will swarm over the defined crevices that peak within my brain and there they shall dissolve any sense of 'sanity' left.

Hidden

Life doesn't seem to easy,

When everybody is looking at her,

The tears start to get heavy,

As the steam builds up inside,

But she should not worry,

Because if she wanted she could survive,

Sitting on the floor with a bottle in her hands,

Trying to find one good thing in her life,



As the memories fade away,

She begins to cry again,

While everyone else seems alright,

If she looked past the smiles she would see the pain hidden behind their eyes,

At this point why would she care?

As the bottle rattles as she tosses it back and forth in her hands,



Tears roll,

Black mascara staining her face,

Only she knows what she is about to do,

One after another they fall into her mouth,

Until the whole bottle was gone,

Her mother found her lifeless body the next morning,

The tradgedy of a girl,

Who found herself a death wish to turn out all the lights.

all i see is a replication of what i saw

factory produced by a nonexistant god

factory produced to look like this

act like that

to succeed

to fail

to obey

to rebel

programmed with certain actions and responses

robotic slaves to a systems drug their chip prescribes

chess pieces in a distorted heirarchy

pawns outnumber all, yet individually,

only possess the power of a checker

moving forward, never back

crossing paths and never thinking

bruising hearts beyond repairing

crushing lives and never caring

clones, are all i see

mindless machines designed to break me

clones, are all i see

and all i see i wish i never saw

Highway To Poetry

Highway To Poetry
Karyn Indursky

Life is a highway of diction 
displaying many roads 
and only one road sign 
is right for you.

You shall not yield, 
but proceed because 
the bridges of communication 
may be icy and out of order.
 

Drive through avenues
of traffic to your merging
sign to before you
single out ideas
to explore your poetry.

Hop on the bus
at the end of your
road to ride 
the train of imagination
and let the horns
of freedom jingle
there way to your heart.

Get off your train
to the house of poetry
where you take your journey
to sketch a draft of 
what your muse
has flown flight
like an eagle soaring
our skies of imagery.

Hiking Through Blessings

Hiking Through Blessings
Karyn Indursky
 
Fields of prayers...
Trails of flowers...
Valleys of hymns...
 
Trudging through weeds...
Crunching gravel...
Crossing rivers...
 
Pastures of butterflies...
Ponds of frogs...
Landscapes of locus'...
 
Walking through memories...
Meddling through emotions...
Wandering through nature...
 
Hedges of hope...
Foundations of faith...
Bundles of beliefs...
 
Hiking through blessings.

Hindsight On A Hypoglycemic Episode

Hindsight on a Hypoglycemic Episode

Karyn Indursky

Laughing in the back
of the college classroom
at my hypoglycemic seizure
while two peers aide me
and force the professor
to halt class. I feel twisted
like a pretzel inside
because I appreciate the help,
but the laughter, whispers, rude comments
echo in my ears. I may be incoherent,
to the level of not being able to talk
and communicate, but I can
still feel what my body's doing,
hear what's being said,
feel when someone touches me,
and know some of what is
going on. I am grateful that
I didn't feel myself drifting
from my body without knowing
where I'm being pulled to,
but still feeling grounded.

His Best Friend

His Best Friend

I secretly yearn
to be the
girl next door
with sunflower hair
falling lightly down
my cotton back
willing to listen
to my neighbors
kindly with my
Mediterranean blue eyes
without ever getting
romantically involved with
any guy near,
but instead be
his best friend.

His Nightingale

His Nightingale

Falling dangerously into
awaiting arms of
a stranger there
is no safety
net for electric

one beautiful woman
into a knight
armored not in

from being sucked
by a relentless
vacuum of love
before he leans
forward to kiss
his nightingale.

Hold Me

Hold me

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

God gave you two precious arms to wrap 
around my waist and two hands with fingers 
for wiping away tears, caressing hair, holding hands, 
and holding tight. 
God gave you two eyes to see the world 
and a heart to feel it. 
God gave you a nose to smell the flowers, fresh grass, 
candles burning, scents of hair, and so much more. 
God gave you ears to hear music, crying, cheering, 
glee, sorrow, wisdom, and for listening to others. 
God gave you a lap for me to sit on, too. 
So, can you please just not let go and hold me?

Author's Notes:
Wrote this while dating one of my ex-b/f's.

Hold the hell up, man.

Hold the hell up, man.

Karyn Indursky

Hold the hell up, man.
I've been burned
by hot cooking oil
on my head and hand.
I still have problems
taking my shower.
I'm very heat sensitive.
My face and head
can't take it
too hot.
I have to
turn down
the temperature
to wash my face and hair.
I know you
don't understand that,
but I don't tell you about it.
I understand
so much more than
what you think.
So, please,
stop telling me
what I know
and don't know
because I know
more than I let on.

Hold you in my arms

In my absence I could sense your pain

you reside in mine

your suffering is felt

and I wish to reach out

put my arms around

remind you of my love for you

 and I hope to relight yours

Holding Conner

Holding Conner

Karyn Indursky

Holding Conner melts away
all problems. It purifies my
every emotion. His innocence
is incredible. I love how open
he is to smiling, holding my finger,
being held, getting kisses, and
just going with the flow.
He almost never cries.
He's adorable, sweet, innocent,
pure, everything that's right
with the world. I wouldn't
change him for the world.
My only regret is not
knowing that I was pregnant
because of being on
medicine that makes you
gain weight, having sleep apnea,
and having my period for
all 9 months. His father
lives in Orlando, Florida right
now and won't call me back.
I'll be going to Domestics
and he will be paying
child support. It's a shame
that he hasn't called back
because he deserves to
know all about his son
and his son has the
right to know him. But
when I hold Conner
everything that's going on
fades into nothingness
and all I feel is amazement,
love, joy for having the
most precious baby

Holding on isn't an option anymore

End it all, good bye to the ones dear to me, let it spill out like a flood,

Holding a picture of my love to my heart and drown in my own blood.



Because of the blood all you see on my arm is red,

as i express inside and out i feel like i'm dead.



Sitting there watching as the blood on my arm spills,

Trying to slip away as i down all the bottle of pills.



I start to take them one by one,

I will continue this until the deed is done.



Death is not just my only thought beacuse of my depression,

It has become not only a thought but an insane obsession.



Holding on just isn't an option for me anymore,

It's to hard holding on plus i have nothing to live for.



So i say goodbye to the ones that i love,

I pray that they forgive as i watch over them from above.



I start to feel dizzy the room starts to spin,

I realize the consequences i know it's a sin.



I start to feel guilty i want to go back,

But unfortunately now it is life that i lack.



Now all my body is a corpse that will rot,

Never to return and still even though dead happy i am not.



So be careful or you will end up like me,

Dead and under the ground unable to be free

Holes

Who says this isn't the end of the track?

Why should I stop to look back?

That door has closed,

I slammed it in your face,

Because you tore up my heart,

And didn't put it back in its place,

Digging a grave,

Where my heart now lay,

Buried six-feet under,

With a stone marking its place,

Filling the holes are your lies and deceit,

Apologizing at my feet,

For every hole dug into me,

Is another broken memory,

Your hands feel so cold,

Your eyes look so numb,

My river of tears will carry you back to where you belong.

Hollow Cravings

Hollow Cravings
Karyn Indursky

When I close my eyes
I see his bluish-gray eyes
watching mine
until our lips meet.

His hand holds
the back of my head
with rippling compassion
and ownership.

Crumbling into temptation
my hand holds his face
before I gently move
into his arms.

The passion burns me,
but when I open my eyes
I'm alone with nothing
more than hollow cravings.

Hollow Dreams

Mystery Man I'd travel the clouds 
on a flying red carpet
to see, hear his melodic voice,
and find comfort in his arms
as my arms go round his neck
 
and in that moment of eclipsed time
I'm in paradise with my veiled soul-mate
and my heart thumps beats
lurking in my dream and leaves with a flick...
 
of eyes for he's my jigsaw puzzle
I haven't figured out, 
but warms my heart til I yearn
for unabiding reality verses hollow dreams.

Hollywood crush

You know

I'm having the time of my life

dancing around the stage

playing with as you hide behind your mask

Your direction guides me

and I'm gliding

The comedy is hysterical

The touches from your other actors feel good

but only because I know it's your play

I look to you for direction

I am in awe of your abilities

To move me

even when it's not your face that I see

I see your heart in every man

and every woman

and as I dance with these actors

I feel you so close to me

it endears me

to watch you watch me

and to watch how you direct the others

I love you so deeply

but you are my director

I'm just an actress

I want you to take advantage of me

isn't that something directors are supposed to do?

seduce the hot new actress...

take advantage of...

If only you would...

I want you to take me... 

and to fall in love with me too

Author's Notes:
I just made this up. I've been around the industry for years. In fact I was in love with a director. Never was an actress though.

Hollywood.

I found God inside myself I look in everybody else. How can you be God? I don't yet know what I want guess I'm just too human. It took me being bruised to become the true man. Show hallelujah. I used to think that it was hate until I realized it was flattery, you flatter me. To want to be and not yea we feel the same. You entertain and I keep the pain. Please no more pain we're made of the same. Check it. If we traded places that'll be suicide just like Kobain, bullet to brain. One for what's lost and one for what's gained. Holy smoke, Holly oaks, we still ho the same.

The comets are getting closer don't worry I wont let them hurt you, I am the same as nobody so people can have their folgers, waking up in the morning, making love and the moaning, I may sneak out at night but love your my one and only, you are my third dimension the only one worth to mention, the holy dance we make our trinity of perfection, all these years together our astronomical patience we see each other through darkness or brightness without lenses.

Home Sweet Home

among the dead, i feel at home

among the dying, i no longer feel alone

gravestones make pillows

hospital beds, fine wooden coffins

the landlords never on my back for rent

as i lay in my pad, six feet deep

no job, no utilities

no purpose, no future

but thats just not my problem anymore

in my dirt filled sleeping bag

i listen to the rain fall

as i rest under the tree

i listen to it fall on me

and as the rain falls from the sky

i can hear it, but i never get wet

atleast, not anymore

pretending I

I'm going to
continue telling you
what I

want,
and more
because I am
an honest person,
who solely believes
in helping
you with
complete truth,
not partial.
I won't
waste your time
by telling you
what you want
to hear,
think you want
to hear,
know you
want to hear,
or anything
of the sort.
I will
continue to be
honest to the end.

Honey-Bun Sonnet

Honey-Bun Friendship

Karyn Indursky


Shall I compare thou friendship to a flower

unraveling it's delicate petals
for touching with gentle diction power
of bringing a heart-felt smile to settle?
 
I bathe in the rays of friendship ring
wafting it's rosy sensory appeal too
sweet like it's nectar for the birds to sing
as I wear thou diamond ring truly blue
 
for thy friendship isn't a facade by
any means and though thick, thin, in between
you are right beside me flying so high
amongst ivory soft clouds as sparrows seen
 
through binoculars as strong as the sun 
warming our hearts tenderly honey-bun.

Honey-Bun Treats

Honey-Bun Treats

Karyn Indursky

 

Once upon a pumkin pie crust

sat Ms. Strawberry Muffit

tucking her honeybun babies

into their basket of cornbread.

 

Along came 5th Avenue and his homies

blasting his black licourice whistle

and Ms. Strawberry got disgruntled.

 

She took their whistles

after breaking them into bite size pieces

and the sweets began humming

as they flew into the trash.

 

Crying honeybunnies began 

to roll on the table

where swirls of cinnemin sugar

blanketed them into slumber.

 

Sound alseep looking deliciously inviting

the Green Bean Giant ate them

for swirls of honey-bun treats.

Hookah remembral

Yes I have remembered, when you brought me that basket.

Full of delights, but where is my casket?!

 

The shiny bead in the middle of your eye calls for me to sing shrill

The sharpness of your tounge beckons me to kill

I can't vanish, I can't vanish!

I will seek your moment but mine can't vanish!

 

Immortal distraught corrupted and tall, Recycled and bought FIRE Tidal waves in stock.

OVER and OVER, they crash upon thy shore, OVER and OVER till finally I am bored.

Release the krackin, the chains are cut and CHINK, demons on the loose and now I am free

Red pits of noise, screaming little boys, the poise I take waiting for your choice.

TO CAVE, COME TO ME, because I do see, that all of your suffering is because you fleed.

What were you thinking, why dont you believe, god is miniscule when compared to me!

HAHA, you know that this isnt a game, you know the only place for you is shame.

 

YOU FUCKED UP, and now you're angry. Because you're sick of the guilt.

Now you do wrong because it makes you feel built. You're time is running out so make a descision, you can become a devil or you can face it's south.

Hope

We both took our love for granted baby I can see that now. For me in the beggining but then you became my world. I became an addict and fell mad in love with you. I gave up everything only thing I had was you and that was fine. I truly believed that it was fine. Paradise. Yes it was paradise. It was us against the world me and you rolling the dice, then the lies. You brought doubt into my world. I couldn't believe the devil tempted my girl and then she hexed me. Because when I looked away she confessed she cursed my name and I fell down. Couldn't get up on my own yes I stayed down. Tidal waves of emotion I felt like flooding this town, coming down. But this is not the way I pictured how.

Hopes Of Freedom

Hopes Of Freedom

Tiny pitter-pattering feet
crunch large cockroaches
upon grimy floorboards
before worn out
shoes rip soundly
when rusty nails
bite children's feet
not wanting to
wake their daddy
or pregnant mommy
as leather snaps
across their bottoms
until they're sobbing
soundly with trickling
blood staining their
rag doll clothes
with ultra thin
fabric crumbling into
bite size pieces
like their souls
dying to their
hopes of freedom.

Horror In Me

numb empty smiles, hollow brains

wandering the earth searching for pret

food, flesh, guts, tendons

the seams of my body come apart on screen

brought down to primeval drained reactions

stalking the warm blooded creatures of the earth

whats left of a once alive, living dead

a tired, crimson stained zombie

all of this is a twisted map of the cavernous heart

inside this sad excuse of a human being

this sad, dead, excuse for me

Horse in the road

The horses all lined up

waiting to hear the shot

BANG!

Gates open 

and the race is on

A black beauty leads

A roan on her tail

But one from the back

is starting to sail

Her black mane flies

hooves beating the ground

the thunderous drumming

vibration resounds

Awakening visions

of an old western scene

wild running horses

with long flowing manes

Native peoples ride on their backs

preparing for war

incase they're attacked

The white men have guns

and they're looking for them

but they underestimate

the stealth within

There will be no war this day

these native peoples 

knew how to evade

snap back to

this race is not over

that horse from the back

is galloping bolder

Determination gleams in her eye

Will she first reach

that quarter pole line?

One runs beside her

he wants her to fail

he tries hard to pass her

but sadly he fails

Hostage

Hostage

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

The blanket that can never satisfy 
my needs and wants of security, love, warmth, etc. 
holds me hostage from you, the world, and my future. 
I fight this dark tight suffocatingly tight blanket 
of mine that swallows me whole. 
I struggle to be strong, level headed, and all, 
but the blanket covers me and doesn't let me 
up and get out. 
I'm dying in a world of suffocation and despair. 
I want this blanket off and now. 
I want to be me again and not this scary dark gloomy 
person I've become lately. 
I want to be free and not held in this blanket. 
I'm tired of being the hostage.

House on Top of a Hill

I dug out the knife you embedded so deep

Stood to my own two feet

Only to find myself running

Far, far away

I found a little place on top of a hill

Where secrets fly safely

Nobody knows

I locked the door

Threw out the key

But its strange that my trash is your treasure

I tried to forget

Your memories are worthless trash to me

Although I still cry

You are my worst enemy

But my strongest weakness



I am the best kept secret

Because you will never see

The emotions that plague me

In this delightful, magical house on top of a hill

You are dead to me

Neverless I am so unhappy

Without my best friend.

How could I possibly reject such magnificence?

His masterpiece painted

a fairy tale wonderland

Enthralled by his colors

I was sucked right in

 

A dragonfly guides entry

into his beautiful world

and I follow along 

mistrusting his word

 

Seeing the truth 

behind the masks

I don't even bother

to stop and ask

 

For truly the trust

is in my heart

I know I must follow

if I want to take part

 

My heart has flared

into a flame

I stick to my mission

without any shame

 

Images passing 

before my eyes

reveal to me 

the truth I will find 

 

A mysterious figure 

Stands by my side

I never imagined

my heart would be tied

 

In this twisted path

where nothing seems clear

My heart keeps singing

whenever he's near

 

Follow I must

I haven't a choice

My heart has chosen

to hear his voice

 

Smitten Ha!

No doubt about it.

What a boat we're in

It's getting quite crowded

 

His marionettes

they dance for me

and I dance along

understanding the scene

 

But all I want

is to fall into his arms

away from the minions

who deceive with their charms

 

His magic is dark

I'm under the spell

Can't help but dip in

and drink from his well

Probably gonna have to edit this one later...

How Do You Know Someone?

How Do You Know Someone?

Karyn Indursky

How do you know someone,
if you don't ask about what's inside?
When all you ask is
how their day went and what happened,
all you find is what's going on in the world.
You're not finding
how they feel or
how they're effected or
what they want.
You're getting the news report
instead of the story going beyond the facts
to the heart of the people
you claim to care about.

How hard I've tried?

How hard I've tried?

    Karyn Indursky

How can you measure how hard I've tried
without knowing me or what I've gone through?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you haven't seen my worst or my best?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you don't know how I feel?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you weren't there for me growing up?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you weren't there for me when I needed you?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you don't know what was entailed?
How can you measure how hard I tried
when you never gave me a second glance?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you never offered me a second chance?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you never saw me for me or my life as mine?
How can you measure how hard I've tried
when you're not me?

How Many Times Will We Play This Game

we look at each other

lost, thoughts scattered

trying to find all the answers

again, in each others eyes

second guess

second thoughts

fourth beginning

is this the fourth end

these final thoughts are leaving my heart crucified with doubt

Hug Of Spirituality

Hug of Spirituality

Karyn Indursky

With your words
so dear,
I can't help,
but hear
your tears
in your voice
as you call
out to God.
With your words
so dear,
I can't help,
but hear
your underlying fear
of never having
the one you
love the most,
God,
near.
With your words
so dear,
I can't help,
but hear
how utterly sincere
you are
as you call
out to God
to let Him
know of your
love deep within
your passionate
heart.
With your words
so dear,
I can't help,
but hear
what you say
to God
as you're
empowering yourself
with honesty,
which brings me
to only being
able to hope
that God
erases the pain
in your heart,
which makes you
insecure and scared
to let your love,
not your mind,
be the one
to steer.
With your words
so dear,
I can't help,
but pier
into your
golden hope
of desires
of love with God
and acceptance
of all you've
done...
wrong and right.
With your words
so dear,
I can't help,
but hear
you giggle
as God
embraces you
for an eternal
hug of spirituality.

Whispering winds...

Masking emotions.
Camouflaging expressions.
Hiding honesty.

Sealing lips.

Finding refuge.

Hugging angels.

Hugs 4 Free

No matter the time...
No matter the place...
my friends wrap me in a hug. 
 
No matter who or 
what I'm dealing with 
their hugs touch and comfort me.

No matter the day...
 stop what you're doing...
 to lay a hug upon your friends...
 
It's the best, most symbolic gift 
of friendship, support, love and they're free.

Hum Drum Sunflower

Hum Drum Sunflower

Karyn Indursky written with Dove

 

Time is a ticking as her petals grow

with every second her scent the fresh air

thee sunflower every minutes just shows

her yellow petals so lovely and fair

 

her seeds are such wonder, so tasty and sweet

we could eat them around the timely clock

tick tock, tick tock the sunflower does beat

sway away  in the breezes she rocks

 

she sings her sassy song as she works moves

showing off her zest for blooming her life

as the time keeper taps his footprint grooves

into the dancing green grasshopper strife

 

as long as there are flowers still thumbing

calculator will always be humming.

Human Punching Bag

Human Punching Bag

Karyn Indursky

Putting out cigarette ashes
on freshly bruised skin
from a raging fist
pounding out stress caused
by everyone else not
found in the room
while cheetah hair gets
pulled out of her
toddler head cracking against
cement floors in deafening
sounds croaking out of
broken teeth mouth pleading
for her loving mother
smacks her to stop
crying out before someone
hears her limp body
clothed daintily in her
blood stained creamy milk
dress no longer forced
into being her mother's
human punching bag.

Hunger Drive For Two

Hunger Drive For Two

Hunger Drive For Two
Karyn Indursky
September 2012

 

Once upon a time Sir Scooby's belly
was Roaring with hunger
for Pizza Hut and Mr. Shaggy was
rubbing his belly before he stole
Fred's keys to the Mystery Van...

 

Rud-a-tat-tat the Van went before
their charcoal tire went Flat
and Scooby started to rant...

 

Shaggy was STARVING and wasn't about to wait
for AAA to show up or
ready to admit to Fred that he broke his promise
to keep an eye out for the howling ghouls
at the Haunted Mansion...

 

On a motorcycle was Ma'am Mortisha
who wasn't about to let Shaggy
swipe her only means of transportation....

 

She pulled out a bed of nails
to rip into the soles of his feet,
but Shaggy was clever
and navigated around it...

 

Mortisha was no true lady
and wasn't about to give up,
which resulted in her running over
Mr. Shaggy's foot.

 

Scooby was raging with STARVATION,
but felt bad for best pal in the world,
Mr. Shaggy, who was jumping around
like a crazy kangaroo.

 

His milk chocolate eyes spied
an abandoned Star-Wars go-cart
that was a two-seater...

 

So Sir Scooby hopped in the front
faster than a lighting bolt
with Mr. Shaggy following in toe...

 

Revving with motivation...
Driving with determination...
They reached their destination.

 

Scooby made a heaping pile of
Meatlover, Hawiian, Extra cheese pizza
with cheddar cheese breadsticks
as his sandwhich buns....

 

Sir Scooby's mouth was opened wide
like the Jaws-Of-Life,
but Mr. Shaggy was a total pig,
who woofed down his prize
in one massive bite.

 

Scooby wasn't about to be out-done
or go hungry and crept into their kitchen
to eat everything in sight.

 

Temporarily full, Sir Scooby and Mr. Shaggy's
bellies blew up like hot air balloons
with their arms folded on their stomachs
after washing it down with Wild Cherry Pepsi
to fill in the air-pocket cracks.

Hunger Pains

the hunger

the sickness

i try to shake it

but i cant stop shaking

the craving

the desire

attempting to deny them

that which they crave

but im weak

my muscles tighten

my bones snap

but im not thinking about this at this time

all i can think about is the hunger

"when will it be fed" i ponder

as it sucks me dry

this sickness

this disease

having its way with me

pale, yet dark with bruises

engulphing

swallowing

pulling more of me out with each breath it takes

this monster

this demon

cannibalistic down to its core

devouring my body

devouring my soul

and it leaves me here

so hungry, so ill

so broken, and bruised

wishing for a freedom

that i know will never be

Hungry For Thanksgiving

Hungry For Thanksgiving
Karyn Indursky 

 

Upon thy table lies Thanksgiving feast

not to be eaten until prayers are read

one by one each gives thanks from most to least

and our Father is at the table head.

 

Around the maple table food is shared

while chatter ignites and eyes glow happy

with sights of generations brought so rare

to be together and we get sappy.

 

Beloved pictures are taken as gifts

to forever hold these memories in 

our hearts as emotions sometimes shift

telling new stories can't wait to begin.

 

So long as the sun comes up everyday

we all can give thanks each and every day.

God bless all the destruction
Hurricane Katrina has done
to families, friends, pets, possessions,
and of course house. God
bless those who are lacking
faith and struggling to keep
religion a priority. God bless
those who have lost loved
ones to tragedy. God bless
everything that once lived
as God's child upon this
Earth and was ripped away
worse than a sticky Band-Aid.
God bless those who are helping
Katrina victims recover their
loved ones, houses, clothes, food,
water, drink, etc. God bless
those who truly need inspiration
to keep on going. God bless
Hurricane Katrina victims and all
those who have helped

Hurricane Katrina's Flowers

May flowers grow in salty tear hearts.
May flowers bloom where tragedy struck.
May flowers flourish with helping hands.
May flowers pucker beneath tender souls.
May flowers never parish like family and friends.
May flowers symbolize innocence, purity, generosity.
May flowers thank God for still being alive.
May flowers justify lost loves.
May flowers radiate bonding soul mates.
May flowers cry when we no longer can.
May flowers smile when we are blinded by mayhem.
May flowers hug you when I can't.
May flowers hold you as I would.
May flowers rub your back as I would.
May flowers show you I care.
May flowers unite our spirits.
May flowers wave when we surpass the impossible.
May flowers sing, laugh, giggle, and play.
May flowers encircle us and embrace our goals.
May flowers carry us through this horrendous time.

Don't lack common sense,

Don't yell,

Don't be inconsiderate, rude, disrespectful,
but I'll do it to you.
Don't be late,
but I'll make you late.
Don't lie,
but be "honest."
Don't judge,
but I'll label you.
Don't discriminate,
but be targeted.
Don't talk loudly,
but be unheard.
Don't ask questions,
but expect answers.
Don't cry,
but hurt.
Don't wilt,
but bloom?

I against I

Da Vinci code, the lost sea scrolls, all the knowledge forgotten, used to understand now just a bunch of smart dummies, it's funny, human still think to be the center of the universe, my heart hurts them thorns scandalous love, a warrior since birth the strong keep moving on, blessed I'm hearing saints, cursed no one relates, talking to myself yea talking with fate, say hi to trees, salute the stars, listen to the wind I stand where I should be at, not many friends, so hard to trust, sobriety is clarity but they tell me take shots.

I am me

I am a writer. I express myself through my poems and my writing. My way of coping is to write. I have a way with words.

I learn through listening and communicating. I can usually figure out someone with in a matter of days just by talking and listening watching facial expressions and body language.

I am a caring person. I care about people. I like to help them especially my friends. Sometimes I’m considered too nice. I go out of my way for people when I get nothing in return.

I am gullible. I believe people when most of the time I shouldn’t.

I am sarcastic. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor. Sometimes I offend people but never intentionally.

I am kind. I am the type of person who would give you the shirt off my back. I am the type of person who would go out of my way to be there for you no matter how inconvenient.

I am smart. Maybe not book smart but I know a lot about the world and the people in it.

I am who I am and no one is going to change that. I might be going through a rough patch but I will fight. I will be me again just have faith in me as I have faith in all of you.

I am a writer. I express myself through my poems and my writing. I AM ME!!!

What do you want? What do you seek? What are you waiting for? Redeem the wrong on my way home but I'm delusional, what did you see? That wasn't me your eyes playing tricks on you, I'm just a man sometimes a bum no fame it's more like who? if I have 4 I'll give you 2, the answer to the question, it saved my soul from being consumed, my guardian angels, go ahead and steal it but know if you ask I'll happily give it, 4 years and 2 months to the day all will be revealed.

No matter the controversy
Keeping my ink running
Fluently across the screen
Unifying my work with other

Ranging tones, themes, difficulty
 
Learning to let my

I Apologize For Devouring...

Karyn Indursky

I apologize for devouring
your tender veal parmesan
that I heated in
the complying microwave, which
made the cheese melt
perfectly over your savory
sauce screaming to me
to taste after cutting
it into bite size
pieces just for me
as my pure ecstasy
settled into my stomach
after your delicious meal
met my stomach acid
in utter defeat to
start my digestive process
without knowing what you
will be eating now.

I buckle 
for sweet words, sweet things, sweet tastes, sweet offers, 
and oh Lord do I buckle

It's like nothing else 
to have your hand held, 
a warm open body to wrap yourself in for an embrace, 
sweet lips to kiss and taste, 
and so much... 
so much more.

I Can't Ever Get Enough

I Can't Ever Get Enough

Karyn Indursky

Poetry whispers in my ear
to be heard, not ignored
as it tickles my soul
until I cry out in mercy
and cave into endless temptation
presenting itself before me daily
with its dress of colors
leaving blue eyes temporarily blinded
in figuring out how it
scorched every essence of my being
while I've left with its laughter
ringing in my deafened ears,
but no matter what happens
I can't ever get enough.

I choose

I choose not to be bothered by anyone's attitude but mine alone. I choose to ignore pain sent from others meant to belittle me, I choose to see such insults are reflections of oneself. I choose to not humor my ego by taking offense to such statements and reacting with hurt, for it's just emotions triggered by conditioning, and to give it attention would be the biggest failure, for with attention I imply that I am limited to that. Which none of us are. My silence is my acceptance. And my reaction is my weakness. I am looking for the truth of who I am, and there are many challenges. Much aid...but many challenges. I can not hear your thoughts...you can not hear mine...neither of us can find the source of thoughts, once looked at it vanishes, why should I praise a thing so elusive, so smokey. I have troubles within myself, like Plato said 'Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle' And that includes the people who treat you how they feel they should be treated...like crap....which I can now understand, and for now I can not get upset with...For I know I have done the same thing, and the importance is to find out why......We all have our self image and we're always battling, and comparing them. Most of us.....I am so very tired of it.....If my tendencies arise I let them arise.......I let them have their play......And Also I watch it...I don't act it....It's automatic, therefore I can spectate it you could say..... Watch it's waves and how it goes, seeing the reasoning it had me in a daze....I choose to do what it takes to wake up from the dream.

I COULD BE NO OTHER

I am alone in a sea of people.

A “lone wolf”

traveling on a solitary road,

trying to avail myself of the things of the flesh.

 

Materialism only serves to enslave it’s owners,

forcing it’s stewarts to forget the real important things.

 

I stand before you,

yet you refuse to see me.

 

I speak,

but only the silent wind is listening.

 

We have been friends for so long,

but I am still invisible.

 

I open a small window to my soul,

but you walk around it.

 

I peel off my protective skin

revealing myself

naked as the crying wind,

but you fail to understand me.

 

I give you a taste of my secret thoughts,

but you do not hear me.

 

You recall my life in every detail,

yet you fail to grasp my essence;

 

you know of me,

but you do not know me.

I share myself,

but you refuse my gifts.

 

Ourselves,

are waiting for the opportunity to share

follows in our shadow

down the twisting road of life’s journey.

We cannot outrun it,

it will always overtake us at every chance.

 

Our fate is assured,

the dichotomic duality

between our real,

and imaginary self is inevitable.

 

the paradoxical life

we call living,

is necessary to guarantee our humanity.

 

Wrapping ourselves with beautiful borrowed flesh,

the gorgeous dark skin hiding our souls

is purely incidental.

 

Would the contents  of a package diminish

if the wrapper was different?

 

Can a container overtake

the importance of it’s contents?

 

The artificial construction we live in,

forced upon ourselves

by self imposed constraints,

binds us to the confines of a personal reality;

a pre manufactured mold

denying our full potential at vitality.

 

The essence of life is in ones perception,

for perception is transformed into reality.

Do we all see the same Sun?

 

But one must believe!

We need Biblical faith!

God spoke,

and her words became flesh.

 

the beautiful containers which one endeavor to build,

is only a pretty dress

to wrap far more important

parts of one’s self.

 

The flesh which imprison our spark,

the beautiful dark skin wrapping our essence,

is purely incidental.

 

We are

who we are,

and could be no other.

 

The me

from the real self

always presence itself;

no matter what wrapper

the precious package comes in.

 

One cannot deny one’s self,

for the reflection of our being in the mirror of life

stare us down like an omnipresent overlord

I Cry A Million Tears...

I cry a million tears...

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

I cry a million tears and it's not enough... 
it's never enough. 
There aren't enough tears in the world to express 
how I feel or what I go through or what or how I think. 
There aren't enough shoulders in the world or oceans 
to hold my tears because they'd overflow like 
a never-ending rain storm 
of emotion, turmoil, personal struggle. 
There aren't enough tears in the world to show you 
how I feel and there aren't enough people to catch 
them in their bare open hands.

I Cry For You...

I Cry For You...

Karyn Indursky

I cry for you
not because I feel
as though I'm losing you,
but because I love you so much
I can feel your
turmoil and heartache.
I cry for you
not because I'm losing you,
but because I'm not there
to hug you and hold your hand
when you need me the most.
I cry over you
not because I'm losing you,
but because I'm gaining you
fully into my innermost being.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for my beloved friend, Cindy Keiser. She's given me her heart and hand in friendship. This is my way of entwining mine with hers.

I don't have time...
for this internal
struggle.
I don't have time...
for this
to be overtaking
my body.
I don't have time...
for this,
which is
making me crumble.

I Don't Need Nor Want...

I don't need nor want...

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

I don't need nor want 
people 
throwing their stuff at me, 
yelling at me, 
blaming me for everything, 
being irresponsible, 
having no initiative, 
whining, 
mocking others, 
complaining about things without trying to resolve them, 
laughing at someone else's expense, 
rude comments directed at and about me, 
to be treated as less than a person, 
disrespecting me over my occupation and race, 
excluding me from things, 
acting like I don't matter, 
ignoring what I think, say, and feel, 
and all those little things 
that make me feel less than human 
when I shouldn't.

I Don't Want You

I don't want you

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

The sweetest dream 
I never had 
because before me you did not stand. 
You weren't there 
to speak, listen, participate, and what not. 
You were too good for me... 
or so you thought, 
but you weren't then and aren't now. 
Now, I'm past you and heading into a very promising future. 
You want me back, but I don't want you.

I Drank You

I Drank You

Karyn Indursky

Let my lips
touch the rim
of your precious
wine glass to
graciously sip down
every drop of
burning vodka stripping
my rational senses
bare as liquor
erases my pains
given to me
mercilessly to feel
unless I engage
in drinking more
vodka until I
no longer have
any ability to
think, feel, recall
memories or make
a realization that
I drank you.

I Dream Of A World

I dream of a world

Karyn Indursky

 

I dream of a world
where there is no more
age discrimination, racism, molestation, abuse,
adultery, malnourishment, disease, heartache,
hurtful emotions, scars, unspoken words,
untrue words, gossip, gangs, terrorists, starvation,
and all those things that pollute
our well being.
Maybe, one day, it will be a reality
instead of just my dream.

I Feel Like I'm A Pancake

I feel like I'm a pancake

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

I feel like I'm batter 
mixed up, stirred, and baked 
in the oven of life. 
I feel like I'm tested 
from time to time by folks poking at me 
to see where I'm at. 
I feel like I get turned over and flipped 
to be looked at every side, every angle 
to see if I'm just right. 
I feel like I get burned 
by the heat beneath me, 
which is really just the cooker loving the control. 
I feel like I'm being served 
to everyone to be tasted and felt 
in their teeth after they've smelled my lingering invite. 
I feel like I'm tossed away 
after they've had their fill 
and want to move on past me. 
I feel like I'm a pancake.

I Found You

I found you

Karyn Indursky

 

I found, but look what it got me.
My heart's broke into millions of pieces
and I don't know if I can put them back together again.
I don't know if I can love again
because I'm so afraid of getting hurt
again and again and again and again and again and again.
I'm tired of putting myself, my feelings, my life, my all
on the line to get rejected by someone I love like you.
I may have found you, but I didn't keep you.

I Give thanks...

I am grateful for
metering music dancing
under the sunshine
for art to transpire
poetry to scribble
ideas into thoughts
creating communication amongst
the friends of our periwinkle sky.
 
I am appreciative of
scurrying animals sneaking
leaves fallen off flowers,
acorns scattered on grasshopper grass,
and taking their treasures
to their beloved tree
as they create a habitat.
 
I am gracious towards
seeing my son's eyes
light with a smile
before reaching his mouth
and his down-from-the-belly laughter. 
 
I am grateful for
the moon coming out every night
to shine down upon us
for wishing upon their shooting stars
and the technology of cameras
catch the wondrous occasion. 
 
I am appreciative of
my friends and family members,
who give True compliments,
encourage people never to give up,
the freedom of expression...
we have in the USA.
 
I am grateful for
having museums to display
the artwork of phenomenal artists
to be viewed, valued, respected
not only by being brave enough 
to show the essence of their being,
but the bravery to let everyone see
their creativity and imaginations.  
 
I am gracious for
hugs, affection, tender words
and strolls through emotions
that allow me to relate to others,
but most of all
I am thankful to God
for without Him I wouldn't exist
and nor would you.
 
Amen.

I give to you my beliefs in a pretty package

My lies I spew onto the unforgiving for what have I to lose 

My weakness is unforgiving too

A shrewd is a man that pertains to my existence living in denial and soaked with sin

Distinctly I manage a word or two that perhaps has a miniscule sense relating to truth

But it is vanquished as mysteriously as it was born

And in the eyes of the devil is my attention sworn

Who is it with rage when I scorn on the pitiful

Dutiful is this indulgence to terrorize the the gentle 

All in me the birds flock to block a question

A question essential for an opening of my severely charred brain

 

Circles in circles in circles in circles 

Ill follow these determind to find but a twinkle

And when I do I realize it was just in my head sadness engulfs my attention as my hands turn to dread 

Dark and flaky with a grim motivation

Sinking my teeth into things that sucks me into the ice 

one leg is gone when will come the utter demise 

For it feels this way tonight

I Grew Up Long Before...

I Grew Up Long Before...

Karyn Indursky

 

I grew up long before
my body every did
with my young mind
prematurely planning what I
needed to do immediately
instead of what game
would be fun for
self indulgence like checkers,
but mind I did not
for even for a second because I knew
what had to be done
and I wouldn't stop playing  
my role in my family.

I Hate Rapists

  • I Hate Rapists‏

    Karyn Indursky

 

You're a rapist
with unwanted touches
or simple caresses
while they're sleeping or awake
or even if you get them unconscious
it matters not to you.

 

You're a rapist
with those hands
removing clothes
never wanting to be exposed
or seen by your eyes.

 

You're a rapist
with roaming ideas
and thoughts shown
in your eyes
and acted out
when your victims
are too weak.

 

You're a rapist
threatening them not
to speak up
or they'll pay for it...
with their lives.

 

You're a rapist
making people feel
dirty from the inside out
and no one has
forgiveness for you.

 

You're a rapist
and i don't know
how you can
look in the mirror
unless you were
coerced in raping
and you couldn't fight back.

 

You're a rapist
who has hurt others
more than you can imagine
and you better loose that smile
because it's not fun, funny, or warranted.

 

You're a rapist
and there's nothing you say
to change who you are,
what you've done,
and what you forced
others to do.

 

You're a rapist
and that's why
so many people
hate what you've done
and even some people
downright hate you.

I have poetry,

I have poetry,
but not this and that.
I have poetry,

I have seen her

She is there 

Floating in the waters of disease and perversion 

A sickness has ravaged her body and spirit

Face down in her trauma in the thralls of her victim persona

A needle in her arm her life ebbing, fading away

Into the darkness

She was falling further

Sitting in a dirty van by the side of the road

She gave in to the horrors in her head

Always looking over her shoulder 

Not knowing what she would see

Shaking violently and trembling

Words vague and senseless

What was it that was said?

Did someone speak she asks?

Look do you see it too?

Her world filled with demon faces and rage filled eyes

Always watching

Staring at the hole 

That one there

In her soul

Her demons in human form chewing pieces of her 

Tearing bits away until she was ragged

Little losses every day

She is left with a raw feeling 

Anger and rage seething

Only needing a moment of respite

Some time to forget the world 

Innocence ruined and trampled under 

No trumpeting 

No curtain calls for her

Nothing at all

Not even thunder as she cried 

Died a thousand times

Abandoned and forgotten 

She revels in her misery 

You can hear her screaming

Look at me!

Look at me!

Only wanting someone to see her agony

Save me her eyes scream 

Love me she asks desperately, pitifully

Sadly, she cannot feel the truth of love

She is a victim of sadistic perversions and heartless people

The world has given her insanity and distortions

Have you seen her too?

 

posted on 2014/01/09 - 03:23


I haven't seen her in two years

I haven't seen her for two years

 

I don't know what I miss about her

 

Why did I love her

 

There were a lot of reasons to not even like her

 

It never could have lasted

 

I was too old

 

she was too young

 

there were worlds between us

 

we both knew that

 

but I fell in love with her

 

always knowing she would be gone

 

and I still love her

 

maybe I've always felt we would have been The Great Love Story

 

if it were not for the cruelty of time

 

I still love her

 

I guess I always will

 

I'll write more and maybe get it out of my system

 

forget her

 

move on

 

but I still see what could have been

 

and maybe not what was

 

or what will be.

I Just Want To Stand There

I just want to stand there

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

I just want to stand there, in that one instant, 
embracing the moment and that body that's holding 
me so near and drink it in like a never-ending bottle of love. 
I just want to stand there, in that one instant, 
indulging in the moment and sucking in the feel, scent, 
taste of the body holding me and I want 
to keep on drinking it in until I feel faint. 
I just want to stand there, in that one instant, 
intoxiated by that warm soft bare skinned body 
holding me like there is no tomorrow 
and I want to make my soul collide with it. 
I just want to stand there, in that one instant, 
absorbed in the body holding me 
and recognize it as God, my savior, 
and I don't want to be left go of. 
I just want to stand there, in that one instant, 
and be contented by the body holding me 
and loving me dear.

I just wish that they were here

I'm lonely

Cause I'm the only

Livin'n by myself

Sometimes I just wish that they was an elf

I'm far away from the people who I used to play with everyday

And yeah no way I'm gonna stay

When I'm alone 

I like to call them on the phone

And I remember them all

As the rain drops fall

Tears roll down from my eyes

As I remember all of them hi's

I just wish that they were here

Than I would have no fear

I miss them all

Cause I'm lonely

And I'm the onely livin' by myself

Sometimes I just wish that they were here.

i kissed her neck today

I kissed her neck today

 

it was fast

 

unexepcted

 

i leaned over, brushed her hair aside and kissed her neck

 

right there

 

i took in her scent

 

it was fast

 

just a flash

 

and then it was over

 

but she smiled

 

she turned a bit red

 

she smiled

 

she was a bit nervous

 

but she liked it

 

I'll kiss her neck again tomorrow I think.

I know what you're doing... 
I'm seeing it all too clearly. 
I don't want to stroke your ego day after day. 
I don't want to smell in cigarettes or watch you smoke it. 
I don't want to watch you drink and drive or get drunk. 
I don't want to hear you tell me what's wrong with me. 
I don't want to hear you say one thing, but show me different. 
I don't want to be kept being pushed away. 
I don't want to only be here when it's convenient. 
I don't want to feel this pain in my body. 
I don't want to shed these tears. 
I don't want to hear your voice in my head. 
I don't want to think about your touch. 
I don't want to smell things that remind me of you. 
I don't want to be going through this.

I Look At You And Wonder....

I look at you and wonder
what I could've done right
to deserve such a gift
given to me to have
for precious moments in
our chaotic world and
I find no answers,
but I do know one thing
I thank God for you
like the air filling my lungs
because you are my everything
from today to tomorrow until you
walk away from me, but if you stay
paradise will be ours for nothing beats
having the one person you love.

we've strayed
we've forgotten our true nature

i met you now.

I met you now.

entirely the wrong time. the wrong place. the wrong century.

i can feel any way i want about you

and it wont matter

its the wrong time

the wrong place

the wrong century

i could see you with me in venice wearing heavy brocades against the winter chill

having wine in a cafe, cajoling the owner about his children

or strolling through beirut before the troubles started

you would have gone anywhere with me

ready for whats next

you would have been my lover

my companion

my friend

and books would have been written about us

but its the wrong time

the wrong place

the wrong century

 

i can never have what i imagine

that reality that only i can see

but at least i can see it

and maybe it was all true

and i've just forgotten the details

 

and all i have left is that feeling that it was so

I need a woman

I need a woman.

 

I need a woman that respects herself, only I can see her naked and no one else.

I need a woman who doesn't flirt because she knows to a man that means down to roll.

I need a woman who demands respect and not a woman defining herself with her breasts.

I need a woman that knows how to drink and not act like a ho when she's drunk and forget. 

I need a woman that I can trust.

A woman to show me its alright to love.

I pick you

I pick you
to allow me

I pick you

and let me trail off at times.

I pick you

I pick you

when I'm being irrational or stupid or stubborn.

I pick you

I really don't need you following behind me as if I can't do it myself

I observe her

working herself into a frenzy.

Following me around.

Cleaning up after me.

Before I even finish making the meal.

I turn around 

Ingredients all put away.

Wait! I'm not done with that, I say.

I'll clean up after myself.

When I'm done eating this meal.

She's too busy already.

Taking care of the baby.

And the little girl.

Why does she insist

on adding another chore?

for herself...

She already has a hard enough time

staying focused on one task.

She gets all worked up.

...and frustrated.

...and overwhelmed.

Then

Sits in her room and cries.

I'll never figure out why.

She's done this my whole life.

I remember the good ol' days

I remember the good ol' days
when going to Grammy's was like being with Mom.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when the pool was a ritual and ice cream solved all.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when I had a tan and whitish blonde hair and that was in.

 

I remember the good ol' days

I remember the good ol' days
when the creek was a "No. No.," but ever so much fun!

 

I remember the good ol' days

I remember the good ol' days
when TV was imperative.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when Mom paid for groceries, clothes, school supplies, etc.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when my relatives were almost always visiting and keeping in touch with me.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when everyone spent more time getting along than ridiculing and judging.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when I didn't realize the realities of the world and what it meant to be a mature adult.

 

I remember the good ol' days
when I was blessed with being a naive child.

I Remember...

i remember how the sun used to shine

it's rays glimmering off the blades of grass

i remember when everyday was new

and every day i somehow felt alive

i remember all those yesterdays

especially the ones where i used to smile

i remember how we used to think

thinking that everything would someday be better

and i remember how our optimism faded

choked and died like yesterdays news

i remember how hard we used to try

to forget the lies, ignore the pain

i remember when we thought we had it all

as we lost every little thing we held dear

i remember when we tried the last time

to somehow find a solution to it all

and i remember, the day i woke up

and all i had were my memories

I said God was everything....

He asked me if I would call his destruction God's doing.

I told him that it was, because everything is God.

But what I would call him, is an asshole.

Thing is, I haven't seen him since, but I've learned something really intense.

The very thing he'd said he'd done turned out to be factually true.

So, I would like to know for sure if he was the culprit too.

I scratched them anyway

My eyes are puffed beneath

like I'm allergic...

 

Could be the feathers in my pillow

Which are very old

 

Or, maybe

it was the ones I wore last night

as I marched down Bourbon Street

along with the crowd

adorned with beads

dancing in the streets

to the music of that horn band

 

I drank some too

maybe it's the booze

that has my face swollen and blue

 

for I drank more

than I normally would

 

Though still

I drank water

As I should

 

Perhaps it's the blood

that is being drained

Leaving me iron deficient

for I am afterall

a woman who bleeds

 

What ever it is

it makes my eyes itch

and I'm trying real hard

not to scratch them

 

Instead I'll just try to scratch another line

So I can end this piece with a rhythm

I thanked God for brakes

I thanked God for brakes

Karyn Indursky

 

My stomach
churned and dropped out
while I was driving
today.
Three bicyclists
were in competition
for the road
with me and everyone
else driving.
They pedaled
with all their might,
but forgot
about the drivers
in their vehicles,
which were massive compared to their bodies and bike,
traveling the same road.
I gave them ample space,
and, yet,
they still cut me off
when they decided to get off
Route 222 to some road.
They never
bothered to check traffic.
I was pressing
my brakes to give them
room and time to cross.
Yet, I still ended up
slamming my brakes
with a halting screech
when the three bicyclists
took their time
and didn't move to the middle or other side
of the road
with the space and time
I had given them.
When I slammed
those brakes of mine
and they worked,
I thanked God for brakes.

I thought a saw a flicker

I really miss the stars these days.

They don't seem to light up so often anymore.

Just one here and there.

Far apart.

Barely twinking.

Hiding behind a veil of clouds.

And I sit here with my ego.

Thinking it's all my fault.

I thought I heard someone speaking in the distance while I slept

Incoherant words came to me through that ethereal haze

Caught between reality and some shallow half aware dream state

I drifted in and out crossing that thin barrier of sleep

Those barely audible words carried me here and there

An image of my anima beautiful and enraptured  with me

Holding me as if to protect me from my own fragility....and

That hug signified complete acceptance and an understang of who I truly am

Then the sound of waves washing ashore from some eternal distant ocean

Filled my mind and brought to me 

The longing for the scent of salt and deep blue sea 

For open waters as far as my eyes could see roiling white caps on peaks of dark waves

A fulfillment soothed my aching heart and put an end to my needs

There she is standing beside me once more....my other half 

Trying to convey some message of special importance

The words that would let me know that the path I'm on is straight and true

My center holds as I struggle to make it through my trials and tribulations

That feminine half that brings relief to my critcal and unyieling side

To that bright light that I shine on all that I do as if I'd die frome one wrong move

I see myself reaching toward something soft and sweet, gentle touches upon my face

Bring me feelings of contentment and satisfaction and....belief

I know what message she has brought for me 

I can make no wrong move if it's made out of understang and filled with goodwill

If I hold love and truth and compassion in high esteem 

If I care and and accept others without prejudice or judgement than I am set free

To simply be myself without regret or worry that I've made a mistake

Because my journey will lead me to the place I should be

I totally thought I was gonna hit the roof

Driving into that 6 story lot.

The ceilings were low, or so I thought.

I found myself ducking as I drove up the ramp.

Then laughed out loud as I noticed my slant.

Funny how the body responds.

When appearances show something could be wrong.

I Turn To You

I Turn To YouKaryn Indursky
 

I turn to you
and I get hollow air
because you're not there.
I turn to you
for an open ear
and a caring heart,
but you're just a faded memory.
I turn to you
to lay my head on,
but you don't have a body,
just a spirit.
I turn to you
to catch and carry my tears,
but you're nowhere to be found.
I turn to you
for a hug,
but my arms can't reach
the heavens.
I turn to you
time and again,
but I always fall short
as you're up there
with me down here.
I turn to you
because even with
our distance and lost time
I still love you
and nothing can change that.

I Wish I Was A Celebrity...

I wish I was a celebrity...

Karyn Indursky

 

I wish I was a celebrity
getting my poetry
exploited on TV,
selling it in our bureaucracy,
sharing my integrity,
seeking money as loyalty,
decorating elaborately,
receiving fake honesty,
causing controversy,
losing trace of privacy,
selling my intimacy,
imbedding in everyone's memory.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was watching TRL on MTV and got pissed off at how celebrities write poetry, publish themselves, and the writers like myself get published with work without the payment. I bet she'll be raking in the dough, but how genuine is her work? Did she write it for herself or something to bring her money?

I'd Hug You Forever...

Karyn Indursky

I'd hug you forever,
if you'd let me
cleanse my soul and heart
by being honest, true, devoted
to showing you
my burning love, desire
to just feel you
connect with me
in a heated moment,
not of passion,
but of the love
of your friendship.

I'd Love To Tell You

I'd love to tell you

By Karyn Indursky

 

I'd love to tell you

 

just how I feel. 
I love you from the depths of my heart, soul, and mind. 
My love for you is like the rose you bought for me. 
It expands as it grows and gets nutured. 
My love isn't just one color, but several 
like the shades of the pink petals 
and the parts that are dark are the parts you've touched. 
The medium shades are the ones you're starting to see, 
leaving the light shades for what you will see one day. 
The leaves are the obstactles we have or had. 
The stem is us as one having these attachments 
in our relationship. 
We'll blossom in time, but in the mean time 
we'll just look pretty and get past those obstactles.

I'm A Pancake (abstract)

I'm A Pancake (abstract)

Karyn Indursky

I'm batter
mixed up, stirred, and baked
in the oven of life.
I'm tested
from time to time by folks poking at me
to see where I'm at.
I get turned over and flipped
to be looked at every side, every angle
to see if I'm just right.
I get burned
by the heat beneath me,
which is really just the cooker loving the control.
I'm being served
to everyone to be tasted and felt
in their teeth after they've smelled my lingering invite.
I'm tossed away
after they've had their fill
and want to move on past me.
I'm a pancake.

I'm Just as Bad as You

im beginning to think were some perennial flower

die in the winter, rise in the spring, but opposite

and im sick of your distant adoration doing shit

if you really care, why dont you let me in

if you really care, why not give me a peak

if you reall, oh fuck it, ill shut up

i realize i do the same goddamn thing

I'm just not happy....

I'm just not happy

Perhaps you can relate

Moving with no emotion, stepping upon glass plates

Ascending a particular way lest you step anew and discover a foreign taste

A masquerade is what  life really seems

As glimpses of vastness recede

more and more by day

The core is so very vain

 

Shadows of misery flow in like the waters

As my tendencies conjure up torture concurrently it tries to slaughter

Energy depleted from the rain I try to make go away

Calling to God that seems has lost my name

I feel nothing but shame for feeling this way

More and more by day

 

Can hope be woven in a person that's chosen

To dwell in insecurity and mere model posing

This shell is not worthy to even taste the light

It feels so limited and it's sickening when something in me finds delight

I see you and I shy back into the cave I was born

can hope be woven

 

I don't seek anymore 

Someday's I feel abandoned

destined to struggle upon this island 

I'm stranded

A hand reaches for me but I smack it 

My S.O.S. eroded by the waves and I don't bother to recreate the message

Impulsive it seems

to shrug any help given to me

 

My heart skips a beat when winter comes around

It's coldness is the only thing that hits home

coffee, batman, twilight zone

the silly cartoons with which ive grown old

sweet melodies in my head, ears, hands

the adventursome nights and days

and those times we kick back and dont give a damn

i realize i dont want to die

Don't climb me as a tree.

Don't climb me as a tree.

I'm sporting short, smooth nails.

 

Don't climb me as a tree.
I will give you what you want and need.
Love, attention, affection, and harmony.

I'm Right Here, Cindy

I'm Right Here, Cindy

Karyn Indursky

I want you to know
that I'm here for you
whether it's this or something else.
I'm always here to
listen, hug you, hold your hand,
or whatever you need me to do.
I'm your friend and I
hope you realize that
I'm here for
the good times and in bad.
I'm not here for a story
or to gossip
or anything like that.
I'm here to
listen, to care, to help,
to do whatever you need
a good friend to do.
I'm not like most of the people
we know, work with, have encountered.
I care and most of them don't.
You have a friend here
as long as you want me to be.
I love you
because you're
a wonderful lady and friend.
You're very dear to me.
Don't give up on yourself or anything
because in the end
it'll be fine.
Give it time.
Time doesn't heal all pain,
but it helps to make you wiser
as you go along.
If at any time you
get lost along the way,
need a helping hand,
want guidance,
or anything at all,
I'm right here.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem for Cindy. Cindy, I mean every word of this and more. Please, don't ever forget that I'm here for you because I care and love you. You're a great, dear friend of mine. Let me repay you by being here for you for an eternity.

I'm surrounded by awesome people

I want to move on...

from this town, the job,

but not my friends

I just realised

how many are here for me

And every one of them is wonderful

And my love for them is true

and when they are with me

each and every one lights up

opening their hearts

and I open my heart to

and we share our stories

and we laugh

and smile

and cry

and we always lift each other up

nomatter what is going down

 

 

Author's Notes:
Been reconnecting with my friends as of late and it's been wonderful. I almost forgot how great they all are.

I'm thinking... the ocean

 

Tonight my love I send to you

 

With lovers tongue I’ll bend for you

 

I’ll take your hand and dance this dream

 

As this is the time for just you and me

 

Let us make love until morning light

 

Curl up with me and hold me tight

 

You know you’re the only one for me

 

Let’s get together and be truly free

 

I'll sing to you the songs I have written

 

as you make me feel completely smitten

 

Lets take a ride out to the mountains

 

or find a place with hot spring fountains

 

We'll sit in the pools and cuddle close

 

Then I will make you curl your toes

 

And so I reach out to take your hand

 

Lets go to the beach and play in the sand

I'm not a girl anymore,

I'm you,

I'm there,

I'm insecure,

I'm strong,

I'm collected,

I'm young,

I'm loud,

I'm alive,

I'm Watching You

I'm watching you

Karyn Indursky

Sitting on a creamy cheesy moon,
I'm watching you.
I rest my white creamy soft hands upon the moon,
to watch how you treat others.
I hold on for dear life
as you bash others, turn them away, push them away,
and isolate yourself.
I hear you say
many things you don't really think or feel
because you're insecure and scared.
It leaves you feeling alone and lost,
but you created this by being so defensive.
I smell the lotion you use, perfume you spray,
and the candles you burn
to soften and lighten things up.
That burning, though, is you burning your soul
out of anger, rage, hurt, hopelessness to rid
yourself of your bottled up bad feelings.
I feel you shaking as you reach up and out to me.
I hear your innermost thoughts, feelings, confessions,
worries, concerns, and everything that makes you
who and what you are.
Just because you can't hear or feel or touch or smell
my presence, doesn't mean I'm not here
because I am with you everyday
in your heart and guiding your soul.
I'm doing more than just watching you.

I'm Your Butterfly...

When your eyes are murky
I'll help guide you to happiness.

When your tears fall like hail
I'll be there.

When your heart floats with laughter
I'll flutter with enchantment.

When your voice sings
I'll soar to you.

When your hand's out-stretched
I'll be your butterfly.

I'm Your Record

I'm Your Record

Karyn Indursky

I'm your record
as you spin me
around and around.
I feel as though
you're playing me
with your every whim.
I don't feel control
as you do this and that,
excluding me
unless you need me.
I feel you playing
the strings of my heart
to play your musical sound
to please yourself.
I spin and I spin
as you dance and you dance.
I crack when you
stop caring completely
to smash, stomp me
onto the ground.
I was your record
to be played,
but then you found
someone to be your CD
and now I'm replaced.
Will you break them
as you did me?

I've waited a life time
to meet a guy like you.
I've waited a life time
to talk to you and feel you here.
I've waited a life time
to let you in.
I've waited a life time
to be here just for you.
I've waited a life time
to smell your skin and taste it gently under my lips.
I've waited a life time
to touch your heart as I console you.
I've waited a life time
to make you see yourself in a more loving way.
I've waited a life time
to hear you tell me you love me too.
I've waited a life time
to feel your comfort and release your pain.
I've waited a life time
to feel you in my arms.
I've waited a life time
to know you and now that I do I don't want to ever go back.
I've waited a life time
to have you to cherish and love.

Ice

Ice 

Karyn Indursky

 

Pretty snowflakes fall.
It looks so pure and innocent.

Before people know it, rain starts to fall.
They mix together.

Together, they become ice.
Weather conditions become severe.

Many accidents occur.
People become ill and die.

Attitude become provocative.
Fighting comes naturally.

The pretty snow isn't pure and innocent anymore.
Now, it's ice.

Ice Cream

Ice Cream

Karyn Indursky


I gently guide
various flavors
into my salivating
mouth after smelling
fresh strawberry teasing
me like alluring
sights of heaping
mounds of temptation
in touching your
whip cream rim
with tender licks
from the tip
of my tongue
tasting your glory
one flavor first
before hearing my
stomach growl ruthlessly
while feeling impatient
when I'm eagerly
awaiting my desired...
ice cream.

Iced Chocolate Coffee

Iced Chocolate Coffee
Karyn Indursky
August 2012

Once upon a time Princess Mocha Cappuccino
was traveling on a French Vanilla waffle
to see Sir Latte...

Through forests of Ginseng
she sang like a werewolf,
which woke up the zombie.

Grouchy, the zombie used his catapult
to launch pellets of peppermint patties
to knock her off the waffle.

Falling, Princess Mocha shrieked
for she didn't want to be drown
in the river of butterscotch rum.

Hearing a damsel in distress
Prince Espresso dashed out
the door to her rescue.

Princess Mocha Cappuccino was rattled,
but Prince Espresso escorted her
to Sir Latte through storms of
Starburst, Nerds, and Werther's Originals.

Sir Latte was grateful
to Prince Espresso and Princess Mocha Cappuccino
for they were delivering his
Iced Chocolate Coffee.

He went to give them a present
and they were ecstatic to open
their package.

Underneath all of the paper
was an apple, but instead of being fresh
there was a wiggling worm.

This pissed off the Prince and Princess.
What a rip off?!
All that work and effort for a nasty ol' apple.

Out came the Prince's secret wand
he had borrowed from the wizard
in case of an emergency.

He turned Sir Latte into crab cakes
with a side order of hashbrowns,
but Madam Latte showed up
angrier than a sea monster
since she had intended to drink Sir Latte
as a mango smoothie later.

Madam Latte stole his wand
and changed Prince Espresso into
a cheese-steak.

Princess Mocha Cappuccino was furious!
Prince Espresso was her best friend.
Without blinking an eye, she took the wand
and made Madam Latte into a
slice of pizza.

Identity

Identity

Karyn Indursky

 

I-dent-ity.
I-dentity.
Identity.

 

Blah.
Blah.
Blah.

 

Everyone, lately, wants to know the same thing.
They want to know everyone's identity,
even mine.

 

What's the point?
Why should I have to spell it all out for them?
Shouldn't they know me by now?

 

Maybe,
they're just lazy
or don't want to think.

 

It bothers me.
It really does.
I know, but, obviously, they don't know me.

 

I guess they're blind.
Do they not see me
or feel my presence?

 

Maybe, they can't hear.
Do they not hear me talk, laugh, joke,
or anything at all?

 

I might not exist to them.
Maybe, I'm dead to them
or they wish I was.

 

I don't know.
I just wander how many other people experience this by the world's people
or fear they have lost trace of having an identity.

If I Had A Penny...

If I had a penny...
for every time,
I waited for you
to call,
drop by,
keep a promise,
answer me,
initiate a conversation,
care about someone else's feelings,
figure things out,
feel more than you see,
accept people out of your clique,
and change your courses of action,
I'd be the richest woman
in this whole world you shun,
but it wouldn't mean a thing
unless you should show me
the you behind the mask.

but spelling is a downfall.
If only I could spell,
I ring the liberty bell
for all to hear because I'd be so proud.
If only I could spell,
I'd be out of this jail cell
of dependence of books and people.
If only I could spell,
all would be well
and I leave in hopes and dreams
of being the whiz kid who wins that spelling bee
instead of just researching, checking, and editing me.

If Only...

we are what we are

nothing more, nothing less

okay, maybe less

but istn that how its meant to be

what would this world be like if we could succeed

if accomplishments and joy were more than just a dream

if there was a god

if heaven did exist

if good deeds earned rewards

if salvation wasnt the greatest hoax

but a lie is a lie

and since there are no gods

i cant be a god

so stop giving me that look

no matter how hard you pray

i cant change a fucking thing

If Tomorrow Never Comes

If tomorrow never comes

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

If tomorrow never comes know that I love you and want 
the best for you no matter what. Remember, that I 
will guide you with my spirit, love, and devotion 
to a higher place where God sees all, knows all, and is all. 
Realize that I made mistakes, but I am sorry and no one 
is perfect...not even you. Think about the bad things 
and let the pain out. If you need to cry, II still 
have two shoulders and a way of hugging and holding you.
Don't just dwell on the bad, though. Cherish our 
experiences together, insightful conversations, 
feelings for one another, and all that is good 
that fills my heart and yours with good feelings, thoughts, 
etc. If tomorrow never comes know that I am still with you 
because you are in my heart and imbedded in you is me. 
Don't worry about the small things and get mad 
instead focus on learning from them to allow 
yourself to have a better tomorrow. 
Live your life for you and be happy for you 
because otherwise you wasted yourself and your life 
and then you won't die happy if tomorrow never comes.

If.....

If I were everything that you wanted me to be

Often I wonder if we would still be?



If I were everything that you wanted me to be

Would I actually be happy?



If I were everything that you wanted me to be

Would I lie to myself?



If I were everything that you wanted me to be

Would I even still be me?



If I were everything that you wanted me to be

I would be too weak to say "I hate you"



     I'm not everything that you wanted me to be

     Because you changed me so swiftly

          By the way

          "I hate you"

Illusions

Illusions

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

He made her believe that he wanted her. 
He had one intent and that was to deceive. 
He knew what she wanted to hear. 
So, he fed it all to her like a womderful meal. 
He made her lose all her fear and, soon, 
she called him, "Dear." 
All he yearned for was money. 
It could buy him everything. 
He craved it like a bear fixated on honey. 
He watched her fall in love more and more each day. 
Slowly, he fell in love with her, but it was too late. 
She had figured it out. 
She moved on with life while all he had left 
were his illusions.

Imaginary Embrace

i softly speak words, so pain filled

to the trees that surround me

words, odd, impractical poetry

strung along as i drag my feet

awkward phrases

illogical rhythms

line by line

page by page

the hurt spills out on every display of letters

my tears pour upon the dirt

and sitting in the spot we always sit

i picture your comforting embrace in my head

let it surround me

whispering fragile strings of words

becoming lost with you

Immaculate grace

have you ever listened to a song that's so mesmorizing, that your whole list of problems were disengaged from the spotlight

And all that was left was the music itself, and it seemed it was no different from your very self

Immaculate unity

 

Do you sit in the grass and close your eyes to a breeze that swims through you feeling completely at ease

Have you smelled the air just to remind yourself who you are

Immaculate unity

 

Do you ponder upon what keeps you from being at peace 

Do you lose yourself when you watch the sea

Often space out as you gaze into space

Immaculate unity

 

Do you sing for reasons unjustified

Just because somewhere you feel singin' resonates with your true nature

Do you ever laugh at the things you've once done in order to fulfill your happiness

Immaculate reflection

 

            Do you know that you are perfect?

Do you know who I am refferring to?

OR do you assume?

Immersed In Motherhood

Immersed In Motherhood

 

Immersed In Motherhood
Karyn Indursky 01/28/09

A woman's worth
isn't the weight
of her wallet
or size of her purse.

A woman's worth
are cherished friendships
she has and
all the new one's embraced.

A woman's worth
isn't the value
of her house
or style of vehicle.

A woman's worth
are scattered smiles
she gave you
starting at your eyes.

A woman's worth
isn't American Top Model's photos
where everything fits perfectly
and no stretch marks exist.

A woman's worth
are universally diversified
from tall to short
and skinny to pleasantly plump.

A woman's worth
isn't what she gets
paid for
or has a degree for.

A woman's worth
are shown in her child/children's
clean clothes, house, toys,
and lessons taught.

A woman's worth
isn't what you think
or certainly what you expect,
but the value is priceless.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by the poem, "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou, but dedicated to every woman who is a mother or who has one, who deserves recognition!

Impact

Done with waiting

Can't you see
I expect things to come true


Done with anger

Don't you know

It left me feeling alone


Leaving these four corners

Isolation forgotten

I am not a foreigner

To nature anymore


Repulsed by ideas no longer

Mere puddles of the skipping rock

Subtle intolerance weaker than before

Surface of hatred as solid as thought


To the crafting table my fingers play

I say, persuade me to love

Today

As of now, there is potential

There is a cradle were no worries reside

But the may pass through

But they shalln't stay


...................


Done with resistance

Can't you see

That's the root of all discomfort

Now you see all distorted


Done with shame

For where is shame but within yourself

Now you know you are not all there is

You are gone, yet you are all


Easy remembrance of memories that led you to a point of recognition

Recognize your soul

Lightning bugs glow through shadows of summer evenings

 Such as them you are seeing

Doth not take belief


Bow to existence and existence shall bow

For  are you not existence?

Imperfection

Imperfection

Karyn Indursky

 

Imperfection is a torment.
It never goes away.
It haunts us everyday.
We want perfection.

 

We want the perfect appearance.
We work to perfect our hair.
We try to get perfect skin.
We want the perfect shape.
We want the perfect weight with height.
We want perfect movement.
We want the perfect sound.
We want the perfect ability for everything.
We want the perfect clothing.
We want the perfect car.
We want the perfect job.
We want the perfect family.
We want perfect friends.

 

All we want is perfection.
However, we get imperfection.

Imprisonment

Imprisonment

Karyn Indursky

 

Kendra strummed her fingers on the guitar.
Suddenly, she felt an awakening.
Uncontrollable urges captured her.

 

Kendra began singing from the soul of her being.
Her voice was rich and full with emotion.
Dancing consumed her body.

 

Kendra clammed back up with the ending of the song.
She didn't hear applause or see the standing ovation.
Nothing mattered to her as she left the concert.

 

Kendra climbed upon the hood of her car.
Staring into the moonlit evening, thoughts tugged at her mind.
Music was her essence of being.

 

Kendra knew what she wanted.
Worry attacked her like a cat catching the mouse.
She didn't want to go against her family, but somehow she knew from with she had to.

 

Kendra got off her car.
Numbly, he started the engine.
Before long, she was home.

 

Rapidly, Kendra packed everything.
Lovingly, she left a letter explaining everything.
She left a lipstick kiss on the letter.

 

Kendra went to the audition.
Nervously, she tried her best.
Naturally, she was lost in the music.

 

Kendra got a contract.
For the first time, she was happy.
Vanquished was the feeling of imprisonment.

In A Field Of Leaves...

In A Field Of Leaves...

Karyn Indursky

 
 

In a field of leaves,
he stands alone,
remembering glorious days
where rustling leaves tickled
his bare feet to liven
his spirit with hypnotic caresses
in his blessing of spirituality
amongst the leaves fallen
from the trees to die
a colorful death
like his friendships and lovers
he lost away the way,
but as he stands there
in his field of leaves
he's wiser than he ever was
for he has found his true self.

In a Final Act of Kindness

let sweet poison flow in shades of red

let them flow till i am dead

our pours cancer

our pours pain

out pours sorrow

with my life they drain

my actions unbeknownst to me

until my own consciousness slips free

i lay here piled on the floor

and simply trying to be kind

i leave the stained note behind

"i couldnt take it anymore"

In Another's Eyes

In Another's Eyes

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

In another's eyes, 
I can see the world 
in a whole new perspective. 
People and things look so gigantic 
when you're small, young, and no one seems 
to understand you quite yet. 
You just want to be able to reach that countertop 
for that cookie, drink, etc., but you're just too small. 
It all seems against you... 
your height, small hands-fingers-legs-feet-toes, 
but, then, someone comes along to help you on your way. 
You grow up to become that helping adult 
and help your child(ren), too.

In Black And Blue

In Black And Blue

Karyn Indursky

Thick heather hair spills
upon ruffled watercolor silk
crinkled from your hands
grabbing her paled body
growing limp under pressure
applied by your fists
pounding your urgent messages
into fragile bones cracking
beneath your calloused force
pushing her emptied head
against a bloodied hollow
brick red wall silently
telling your brutal story
as your fist smashes
through her shattered soul
until her glass heart
breaks into blackened nothingness
before unconsciousness claims her
blood dripping seafoam eyes
hurriedly while she collapses
onto waiting outreached arms
provided not by you,
but the manmade cement
letting her ripped flesh
finish its bleeding externally
while internally she's lifeless
to the blind world
never seeing your damage
when she's secretly hid
everything you've repeatedly done
for merciless years now
always  covered in love
or so you made
your rag doll woman
naively believe until now
without even an ounce
of control left to
badger her further as
she's floating into heaven
and yet there's nothing
left to save her body
from a battering husband
leaving her externally dead
instead of having her
handcrafted figure only colored
in black and blue.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is written in hopes of getting more people informed of what occurs to women everyday by men, but let it be known that women do this to men, too. I hope and pray these victims will get away with their child(ren) before it's too late.

In God

You'd do anything for me. The lies you had to tell and the ones to me as well. I just want you to be happy. I was not happy myself. You cursed me I banished you. I will not punish the saints now I will not punish you. I was just mad at myself but I want you to know. I will not forget the time you wore ankhesenamun. I am talking to you love. Si me acuerdo de Chia. El primer beso que te di en esta vida. Y cuando era un bebe cruzando la avenida. Oh how I loved you when I was only a teenager. Now all grown up and I know you remember our teli by the airport. Loved you when you were white. Loved you when you were black. Loved the red and the brown I'll never forget your smile. You are my love even when I'm not with you. We make love when I meet you.

in half-truths there still lies lies

I wish he would just talk about things honestly.

Completely honestly, I mean.

If only he would find a place, a space...

where he would lay it all out and let me in.

Like he did that one time, oh so long ago.

Well... I'm sure he didn't share Everything.

But it was enough to help me understand at the time.

It was soooo long ago though.

Important facts slipped my mind.

My recollections are vague.

Now, I feel I need the clarification once again.

Spoken in that same manner... openly, truthfully.

But truthfully, he told me, "I will lie."

So that is all that I really know.

Lies...

In My Dust

In my dust

Karyn Indursky

I heard you say my name over and over again.
It was like being stabbed a million times
with puncture wounds being prickled by raw
fresh nipping air.
I heard you say those words over and over again.
I felt that puncture wound grow to an open flesh wound.
It was as though the air no longer nipped at me, but ate at me...
big chunks with sharp pointed tainted teeth.
I heard you remind me of what happened a zillion times.
I felt the open flesh wound grow and grow.
The air didn't nip at me...you did.
You ate me whole with your words, comments,
put downs, actions, memories, taunting, etc.
You made me feel like I was and am nothing,
but I'm not.
I am more than you ever knew I could be.
I am more than I knew about, too.
The only difference here is I won't ruin your life
as you did mine. I'll move past you and have you
in my dust.

In My Fog

In my Fog

Karyn Indursky

 

Looking out into the world,
I see everything in a fog.
No one or thing seems clear to me.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
I thought I knew more than what I do.

 

Looking out into the world,
I see blurred images.
People and things seem brand new.
I wish I knew just what to say and do.
For a moment in time, I wish I knew what I once thought I did.

 

Looking out into the world,
visions are fading for me.
I grow more confused with everyday.
No matter what, I know I can only rely on God.
There is a savior for, even, me.

 

Looking into the world,
I want to know so many things.
My questions never parish.
Answers lack to be obtained by me.
Hope is hard to keep.

 

Looking into the world,
I close my eyes.
Maybe, if I could be blind, things would be different.
Maybe, the world could remain a paradise to me.
Maybe, I wouldn't have to look out of my fog.

in the behavior

 

Love?

 

He says love?

 

And he continues to hide

 

Unwilling to really let me see

 

Who he is

 

He showed me those blue eyes

 

Then some gold

 

Then his brother’s

 

The truth still untold

 

I wonder the truth

 

Will I ever know?

 

He never breaks character

 

That’s why the phone says no

 

Can’t slip into the other

 

Not in time to stay undercover

 

I wonder the truth

 

He says the word love

 

From one side of his mouth

 

I wonder the truth

 

Of the scheme

 

I know somehow

 

I can tell

 

The truth is in the behavior

 

The truth is in the behavior

 

The truth is in the behavior

 

Not the show

 

And he

 

Is shy

In the end, it doesn't really matter

In The Frame.

I felt it in the winding streets
or in the museum, standing before a masterpiece.
looking at each stroke of color, laid down with such allure
I'd look into the painting and feel something I'd never felt
was it a fantasy
or a memory
I'd see you
you're dressed in rich Italian embroidery
or French silks,
or English satins and velvet, full Edwardian gale
i'd see you in a piazza, the sounds of strings and horses
or through the haze of absinthe and cigarettes in a candlelit cafe
or through a shop window on a London side street.
I'd see you. I'd break through whatever barrier the time had put there
and I'd go to you
your skin beckons to me
your delicate lips speaking nothing, but calling to me
your eyes glistening to my gaze
I'd go to you
i'd ask you to come to my studio
to model for me
to give yourself to me
against all conventions
come to me
share your beauty
give me your essence
inspire me

You'd come to my studio
it's 1559
a sundrenched barn in Florence
or 1889
in a rooftop loft in Paris
or 1920
in the english countryside

you'd spend lazy afternoons
your alabaster skin alight in the sun
your gaze languished
you hear my charcoal scratch across paper
you look over to see me
paper scattered everywhere
your curves here
there
you hear the chip, chip chip of a hammer on stone
see your form taking shape from raw marble
or take in the scent of oils, a thousand colors melded to canvas

through the centuries
you're there
handing forth your soul
trusting
loving
watching yourself be transformed
a thousand times
a thousand ways
glowing renaissance skin
impressionist flare
over and over
I was there
taking you in
translating you to my vision
and over and over
you inspire those who see the results
you live on
in museums
and collections
around the world

I gazed at that Courbet painting in Paris
I see this vision
this fantasy
or this memory

was I there?
were you that inspiration

Over and over again

was this a vision
or a memory..

In the wake of the battle...

She was walking along the path, admiring all of the beauty.

When she came upon her prince who was shivering and drooling.

She wrapped her shawl around him giving him warmth and love.

He'd been fighting a host of demons.

Who were laying dead, dripping blood.

She could see he'd put up a great fight.

And now that he'd won he was still with fright.

She took his hand and helped him rise, walking him away from the gory site.

They followed the path to the rivers edge so she could clean his wounds.

She said, My Lord, you've been fighting my demons,

I'm sorry for what they've done to you.

When they come, they consume my faith.

I see them in my visions as they start attacking you.

I do my best to overcome my doubts to stop them from tearing you apart.

I'm sorry for my failures in this task, I know how to make them dissolve.

And yet, I allow myself to become overwhelmed with fears instead of trust.

That's when I've seen them break away from me and go after you.

My heart is strong, I will fight on, but I'll try not to place any more burden upon you.

There are other demons out there that I know you must fight.

And I will stay strong when you're out of my sight.

But for now, my love, please come with me.

We'll go back to my camp and I'll light us a fire. 

You should rest with me for a little while before you go out to fight any more.

We must keep nurturing each others hearts so that we may both win our battles.

Our bond of love is stronger than any of these demons. 

Together we can make them all dissolve. 

But for this moment, now, let me just hold you in my arms and give you all my love.

All these years I dismissed it as crazy but maybe the voices are more of a blessing that's what people tell me they feel it my presence since my adolescence I tried to suppress it, sharing a sentence but only I'm present I'm not schizophrenic my mind is affected by angels and demons it's almost perfected look out where they take me I'm here for the ending the wind on my face and my feeling like wow my past have been actions of I didn't have to, I didn't give a damn, used to be wild, I'm still in the wild but I'm older and calm.

In these times...

Who knows what crawls in these uncharted times.....?
Is economic collapse among us monks?
If you can tell the future
Than I would like
Your number

Because that kind of thing can come handy I think.
Of course..
You already knew I was going to say that? ;)

Who knows what lies
In these uncharted times?
Your expectations leave you blind

Because all of this is happening in a space
Here is no-mind
Here is no-race

End with this never-ending mari- go'round'
Stop for a minute
And listen to yourself 
Think out-load

Do you hear what you're saying, are you searching for something?
Is your mind on history, is it focused on 'problems?
There is an inner-space that of which that can solve em'.
All that is needed is your willingness to let go.
Atleast dip your toe in the water.
Guarantee
It'll throw your problems outside the window.
Atleast for awhile, when you decide to dive in?
Remember as a child, when you were like fuck this shit!
And you ran your ass off doing a cannonball splashing water on everyone's plates?

You gotta have that attitude when you're faced with your true
immaculate freedom
Cuz if you dip your toe, you will narrate' it with excuses
The waters too cold
I'll dive in later when its warmed up
Fuck this, I'm playing video-games....

Is only your fear of finding out who you really are.
Your only postponing, because you are deceived by your mind.
The truth lyes in yourself.
See not just the sun
But all of the stars.

In Two

In two

Karyn Indursky

I don't know
where it came from,
but its flooding me
with emotion.
It hurts
like hell.
I was
fine, but, now,
I am not.
I just want to
or I do start crying.
No one
knows why
or what
I'm going through.
No one
knows what
I'm feeling.
No one
knows why
I lay
awake at night
and can't sleep.
No one
knows what's
lurking deep
within me.
No one
knows that
I'm not ready
to come out
of it either
because I'm
not past
the healing
of this pain.
I don't know
what to say
to anyone
because I don't know
who cares,
if anyone.
I don't know
who's listening
and who's not.
I don't know
what people
think or feel
for me
because I'm not
them, they are.
I don't know
where to go
with this turmoil
inside except for
my poetry.
I should probably
not only write this,
but tell someone
what's eating me
alive inside,
but I can't
bring myself to.
I can't
bring myself
to expose
what's deep within
my soul and being.
I can't
bring myself
to be vulnerable and weak.
I can't
bring myself
to share
what I truly
am feeling and thinking
right now.
I can't
bring myself
to be fully honest
with anyone
on this because
it's hard to be
honest with myself.
It's hard
to admit
the pain
hasn't relinquished
since '98
when my cousin
died
that day.
It's hard
to admit
that I'm still
not whole.
It's hard
to admit
that I still
cry and mourn
with tears and poetry.
It's hard to admit
that he's with me
in spirit,
but what I yearn
for is more.
What I yearn for
is to touch
and smell
his soft skin
in a warm
hug that I waited
my whole life
for and never got.
It's hard
to admit
that I didn't
realize I loved him
until it was too late.
It's hard
to admit
that I yearn
to talk
to him still.
It's hard
to admit
that I want him
to console me
and protect me still.
It's hard
to admit
that over the years
it hasn't
gotten any easier.
It's hard
to admit
that I still
reach for his hand
or a hug
for an embrace
and he's not here...
he's dead.
It's so hard
to admit
all of this because
it cuts
so deep
and this is
what's
ripping me
in two.
