    About this ebook

    The last of Mister Construed X, and the longest in the collection, I suggest that you start at the true beginning and read them all to gain an understanding of where this book came from. Edited, cut and dissected, it's the only one that has suffered such torture.

    Mister Construed X

    Mister Construed X; I'm a man of simple beginnings and a vivid imagination. Corrupted at a young age and polluted at some point in between; you'll most likely find me buying a gumball at the mall with money that I stole from a fountain; blowing bubbles just for the hell of it, popping other people's wishes in pink stickiness. Say hello at; [email protected]

      A Year in Reading: Lynn Steger Strong

      Dec 2, 2020

      Maybe because of how much I miss human interaction, maybe because I’ve lost my faith in so much else: I believe in books, at least the ones that feel like primal screams, in ways I never have before. The post A Year in Reading: Lynn Steger Strong app

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Prologue

      The best of the rest

      Written in spite of…

      Chapter One;

      the Only 1

      My inspiration for this book, and I quote;

      Nobody wants to read your drunken slurring’s!!

      She freed us

      I longed for her touch as she longed

      for free

      I reached for her as she reached

      for thee

      She freed me, then

      She freed you

      Yes

      She freed us

      My Sith

      I looked up, and there she was

      My Savess

      Shinning upon me

      day in night

      casting shadows for me to dance in

      Spinning free

      I embraced her as she intoxicated me

      Inspiration

      Bleed on me,

      please

      I'm on a quest,

      for something that inspires me

      Drip your soul into my mouth so that I might taste thee

      Ironed crimson legacy giving me the strength to write freely

      You, letting into me

      me, living forever

      Remember

      When

      We danced and our hearts beat in rhythm

      When

      We slept and our bodies spooned together

      When

      We kissed and our lips fit in perfect puzzled shapes

      When

      We smiled, we smiled at each other

      Remember When...

      'Don't let hope become a memory'.........Disturbed

      I listen to the greatness

      blasting in my ears and I

      taste the steel of my life

      Cold and hard, metallic and powdered

      I choke

      there are no words to cure me

      to move me beyond....me

      Just songs, listened to and punishing

      as I ask myself, Why can't I write this life of mine?

      If I don't know who I am

      How could I possibly understand

      You?

      her breath in my ear

      Her whispers haunt me

      Tickling my dreams

      her breath, warm in my ear

      felt but not reality...

      Lies

      Aren't all stories lies?

      Aren't all poems crimes?

      Aren't all families, tries?

      Would I lie?........

      The better question is; Would I tell the truth?

      Or even; Why should I?

      Measured twice, cut once

      She looked at me

      first up, then down

      With a wicked grin, crooked on her lips

      I felt my heart shutter

      I looked at her

      first up, then down

      With a wicked grin, contorting my lips

      I felt her hand brush mine

      We embraced

      slowly dancing to the music

      While rhythm moved us in the black

      I felt her heart beat

      Lost in the night, we went slowly in circles as the music moved us involuntarily

      Our Love poem

      We shared the kind of love

      where no piece of furniture was off limits

      where no alley scared us

      Leather burns and honking horns

      both made us laugh

      at us

      We shared that kind of love…

      A Glimpse of Winter

      I can taste the snow as I...

      sweat, dripping thru Ice Cold

      I run in the winter night

      as mother moon smiles at me

      Ice crunching beneath my feet

      I hear life herself

      running with me

      We smile at each other as we go

      When it's......

      When time tells me

      It's time

      to sleep

      When time tells me

      It's time

      to stop me

      When time tells me

      It's time

      to end

      Me, counting time

      ticking time

      counting
