I drowned Aphrodite a long time ago.
I wonder when her body will resurface
Pale blue and bloated,
Or when her ghost will haunt the shore
of my vast and empty beach.
I'd like to think of myself as something unique. I'd like to believe there are differences between us, more than people think. But, there are so little people who are really different. So little.
I'd like to say maybe I'm just a wandering thinker who'd like to conquer the world. Or the stranger no one knows about. Or a hero no one believes in. But in reality I will never be any of those, no matter how I try to storytell myself into it. I am you, her, him, they, we, us. You are me, him, her, us, we, they.
Sometimes I feel the need to go ahead and shut it all out. The green world, the blue oceans, the gray streets and buildings. The grayscale
The hypocrits multiply. We all do. And then we all see that we are each hypocrits.
We stop to think about it a bit.
Why stop now, we say.
Nothing sells anymore but sex and controversy.
No one can be normal or prudent.
We have to have our celebrities in spandex dresses,
or nothing at all
Our commercials have to include innuendo or it's not aired.
We take our political and religious advice from movie stars and musicians whose songs are only pornographic poetry.
Like being taught to drive a car from the Amish.
We spit on ourselves. We spit and wonder why no one likes their own image
"She looks beautiful, add some more make up."

A damaged body
Swallowed by disease
Calls for help
Cause for help
Crooked hands
Crooked ribs
Cannot stand
Cannot walk
In turned out
It all turned out
Just fine
Because a broken body
When most would fold
Has a will so Godly
And a perfect soul
Many tests of strength
for one who lacks
muscle. Going lengths
against all attacks
Against the odds, they stack
He's back. Again and again
And with a brush of wind
A sleight of hand
It's gone. He's gone.
Beacon of light,
a mark of God
An immobile frame
but a moving soul
You met your purpose well.
the world is filled with agony.
A brother, a sister are holding hands over the barely breathing
body of their father. In tears, they witness his exit.
A pair of lovers are seperated by something
Just like that, they witness the end of years that were; years that never came.
A mother buries a son. Raised from whom, to crip, to school, to rebellion and with nothing to show but an empty room and half a decade of sorrow
follows.
The world is filled with agony.
You search for someone to be with, only to see them part
whether it be in peace, in hatred, in death.
You gain friends along the way, to lose them later on
Those that raised you

All It's Slippery Movements
You get to a point sometimes.
You're standing still, sitting or lying
You become completely aware of time's movement
slipping with each hour of sleep, with each minute of watching tv
or even each second of becoming aware of all it's slippery movements.
Your age, no matter how young, seems old.
Nothing seems to be in place, there seems to be so much to do
with no time or no way to do any of it.
Where you are and where you want to be are continents apart
And you seem to grasp how quickly your opportunities disappear,
or how they have disappeared.
Every step here
Each leap there
A stumble or even an obstacle in the way
And you ca
The night was especially still that evening. I had never recalled the surroundings to be so tranquil on my routine walks as it was then. I remember thinking that the fields had frozen even though the weather was fair. As I strolled down my usual path, I remember getting the strange feeling of being stared at. All I could do is shrug it off, not to let my imagination get the best of me. At the time, there were these hills nearly a mile from my house. I always knew I was getting close to home when I came across these hills. Flowers grew all over them, making them such a pleasure to look at. All of the vibrant colors swaying in the occasional b
The world is made of dirt.
The ground is dirt, plants grow from dirt
and the people are dirt.
Life is about shit.
You work for it,
you are given it or you are it,
sometimes all three.
The way you know that you're life is right,
the way you know you are doing the right thing,
is what you get in return: being a door mat.
You strive to live and love so you don't die alone
and in hopes to live a "happy" life.
Every day we earn new baggage,
new garbage to carry with the rest of our days.
The worst part about this planet is that it's all backwards.
Generocity begets betrayal,
kindness is returned by being taken advantage o
I am not fearless. No one is fearless.
We are all afraid of our selves. Our lives.
It's all there and all not there. It's known and not known.
It's predictable but only to the second.
You control it yet you don't. Things take control
from you, like a theif you can't see to stop.
Across time, across the centuries, every culture has atleast one group
that tried to foretell whats to come.
Because they were afraid, the people were afraid. Anxious.
And we say we're fearless, no monsters nor men scare us. We got it.
But we shake when we think of our next day. Our next month. Our next year.
Because we are afraid.
Shimmer with sin, tremble within, where to begin
Dancing with sin, smiling withing, I can begin
Dying to sin, thrashing within, I can't begin
Lying in sin, dying within, it will begin
Dressed in red, cold as lead, better in bed
Passion of red, heart like lead, aim for the bed
Rejection is red, embracing the lead, weeping in bed
Soaking in red, head filled with lead, lifeless in bed
Make it a gun, make it for fun
Make it and run, staying for none
Like it or not, taking that shot
Reach for it, reach for it,
Not quite there yet.
Poison, poison. Poison in her hair.
Casing, lacing, who really cares?
It's all over with. Won't be the

I stood in a room. One side was lit up and the otherside was dark. Windows and doors did not exist and the room was empty. All that was there was me. Standing directly in the middle of the room. The ceiling held doors, all of which was closed. Each door was black with a doorknob that was as white as pearl. All of my feelings, every emotion, every thought had evolved into a feeling og being completely distant. I fell to my knees, looking all around me. I did not move away from the center of the room, I only stared silently in each direction. My body began to shake and a noise cae from my mouth. A noise I could only recall letting out when I wa

I post more on tumblr than on here.
http://ira-benevolentia.tumblr.com/
I still may put a few on here, simply for artist feedback, if there are any artists on here.
I hope I get some alcohol soon.
Been a while. But now I frequently come in here to see all the stuff that isn't stupid. And by stupid, I mean the weird art of animals who have tits, or the fans of TV shows or video games making all the characters gay, or any other thing that is really just... dumb.
So hello.
Also, I am writing a book. But because of how serious I am about getting it published, it will not be posted here. Maybe, and it's a tough maybe, I will post an excerpt.
My poetry has evolved, and I write less and less of it.
