World's Best Comedian

So once again:
I'm not a comedian.
Or a writer.

Even though,
It's all a joke written.

I remain the same.

And I have little need,
Of disapproval by you.

What I do need is a pen,
And some paper.
Maybe the new iMac.

Yes! That'll make me.
A better comedian.
My jokes will write themselves!

I guess nothing matters,
If everything is OK.
And there is no drama.

Fight

No more fighting.

OK?
Just joking.
Take the punch.

Was a caveman once.
Now I'm being primped,

Having to moisturize.

Enjoying the fight.
Reminds me of what I am.

A man.

My developed-monkey brain,
A brute.

Animal-like.

A beast that fights,

To attack.
And flights,

When preyed.

Going against?

Without violence?

Fight with mind.

Which is stronger.

Anyway.

Either way,

Fight.

Looking Up

Wherever I may end up,
A path.
I must take it.
And continue.
A request?

Resiliency ingrained.
On ground.
Resistance by choice.
To fly away.

My choice.
Nature will provide.
And guide.

Silver

You opened up,

To me.

All your secrets.

Hidden lives,

The Hollywood demon.

Secrets.

I take to the grave.

I'm gone.

Silver.

Dream together,

Imagine.

Forever.

Better lives,

For everyone.
Together,

Tonight.

Opened up,

Our minds,

In the sand.
We kept warm.

While listening,

To gentle waves.

Fighting.

Something,

So beautiful.

In my mind?

Perceptions,

Looking outside in.

No damage done.

A complete,

A Reversal.

Only partial.

Silver.

Wanted,

For so long.
Lucky.
Me.

Heal,

Take this curse,

From me.

Trust,

The real me.

Strength.

Passion.

Integrity.

Flat

Seems so wrong to not care,
But it seems I'm a real comedian.
When life is a joke,
And I'm the punchline.

Looking around...
Staring into a device.
All day.
And another device,
When I get home.

What's real is perception.
And the power it plays on mortal men and women.

The other side is just as boring.
Because it's false.
The side that's true is my side.
Just as the sun sets and the moon is already there waiting.
I'm awoke, ready to illuminate.

Lush

Your heart is gold,
and you wear it on your sleeve.

I can't believe I fell in love so quickly,
But let's be honest here.
It's easy for a man like me,
To love everything about a woman like you.

I don't know how long relationships last anymore,
Because of so much divorce and unloyalty.
But I know that as long as I breathe,
I'll dream of being in love with you.

Today is the most joy I've experienced,
Because I got to spend my time with you.
And all I wanna do is take care of you,
Physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially.
If that's all you want too.

I can't believe how such a black heart as myself,
Can feel this way, just on meeting you.

Your kindness, your loving grace.
It's all a man needs to feel appreciated.
And all a man wants is to make his woman
Feel secure and uninhibited around him.

We shared our tattoos, mine about being an outcast,
And yours about saving the world.
I loved you from the start.
I don't care about your past,
Because I want to be your future.

Peace and love.

Old

Congrats, I made it. I'm old.
I wasn't vain anyway.
But now, I don't have to worry about looking good. I can wear grey with pride. I earned it. And pop culture doesn't matter. Not that it ever did. I grew up with heavy metal and gangster rap. Now called metal and hip-hop.

I remember using lots of product in my hair as a teenager to try to impress my classmates.

Then I moved out of town, so a lot of good that did.

My name is Danny.
Old men go by Dan.
Will I ever grow the eff up?

Congrats, I'm old.

When I was younger,
I was a breast man.
As I've gained wisdom,
Breasts, Thighs, Legs, and Butt
Are all wonderful in their own way.

I'm always in the mood for chicken.

I'm old.

Next is The End. Maybe it'll be a new beginning.

Congrats, I made it. I'm old.

Cannot Be

I cannot be your lover anymore,
No matter how convenient,
It is to stay.

Can we treat each other like friends?
Or
Are there things that can never be?

I wish things stayed the same,
The way I kept on for you.
Sorry I cannot say,
That our love held true.

There are things you need to know.
I've moved on and you should too.
I don't want to be committed anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I cannot be your lover anymore,
No matter how convenient,

Sorry I cannot be,
The man you wanted me to be.

I'm not sorry.
That I'm not changing,
Who I am.
And always will be.

The Right Way

Everyone has an asshole,
And everyone has an opinion.

I get it.
You're right.
You're always right.

Does that make you feel any better?
About yourself?
Shut up!

I get it.
You're right.
You're always right.

There's only one way to do things.
Your way.
Thanks for your guidance.

I get it.
You're right.
You're always right.

Hey, what's that over there?
Look at that.
Now, I'm gone.

I get it.
You're right.
You're always right.

I can be a lazy piece of shit if I want to.
I'm arrogant and a bit of a show-off.
So what?

Piss off.
Ya cunts.

Iranian-American

I plea for peace.
For myself, my friends, my family.
An Iranian-American is a metaphor.
For the destruction in the world coming to an end.

A Capulet and Montague putting differences aside.
Merging, knowing the differences.
And embracing the dissolution of anger.

I'm born in the United States,
But my soul belongs to Iran.
A two-sided coin,
Dr. Jeckylled and Mr. Hyded.
Without both sides,
The coin would not exist.
And neither would I.

Both sides are Dr. Jeckyll.
And I plea for peace!
Between all nations,
Seeking complete control.

Home is where my family lives,
My family is all over this world.
Most of the world, I've never been.


I'm only half a world away,
From seeing truth.
Too bad I can never go there,
Because of my big mouth.

Water

So pure.
Government provided mind control,
Supposedly.

But it's clear.

I have a glass a day.
On weekends I have 8 glasses of beer.
Which is water with extra taste.

Sometimes I have a bottle.
Of water, not beer.
Not too much bottled water though.
I remember 10 years ago,
Having to buy water for 10 cents.

It's as if someone said to themselves,
"What is plentiful and almost free,
That I can charge 10 times for?"

And they did it.
Dasani with their added minerals.
Fiji from Kentucky.
PUR with their activated charcoals.
Water in a Box.
WTF?!
Is everyone ignoring what it is, but me?

I thought we learned lessons of the past.
I guess not.
All this water,
And we're still doomed.

All I do is Hunger and Thirst.

Replenish myself.

Taste is for amateurs.

So Thirsty.

I need Replenishment.

Sad to See You Go

Now that you're gone,
I can forgive you.
Not that I ever wanted it,
Us to end.

It's that I was hurt,
Maybe we were both wrong,
And both too stubborn.
But our love remains strong.

You were right,
To stay away from me.
I would have fought you,
Win or Lose.

No more tears,
Or anger or regret.
Nothing.

I'm still sad to see you go.

Goodbye.

My Best Friend

Maura is my best friend.
Yes, she is very attractive,
Beautiful, handsome, lovely.

She's a Star Wars fan,
And a social warrior.
I remember how we became friends.
At a political science class,
We had a 2 unit Santa Cruz mountain retreat.
She was wearing a bright red shirt and had a lip ring.
She was very outspoken too.

We were supposed to trade numbers,
With 2 people at the end of the retreat.
I ran up to her and got her number.
I said we'd go out I'd take her out to eat.

I asked her to marry me.
First time I'd ever asked a woman to marry me,
And she said no.

She's lovely, yes, and I tell her that all the time.
It's not me being charming, it's me being truthful.
She's beautiful inside and out.

We've never dated romantically though.
I think I just love her and don't want to hurt her,
Like I've done to so many women in my life.
Maura is my best friend.
I'll love her forever and nothing can change that.
The offer to get married still stands.

Culture

Standards come from having no standards.

Because of standardized culture.
It hurts the ones loved most,
Including the self.

But it can be overcome.

If freedom is available,
RUN TO IT.

Be able to roam with happiness in your heart.

Because there shouldn’t be constraints involved.

Shaming others on unused ideals,

Is a misconception of uneducated beliefs.

A manmade perception,
To guilt others of pleasure.

A way of dealing with pain.

Too much pain needs relief.

Faith blinds the weak,
Because there is never freedom in it.

Be free to do as you please.

Not to settle for mediocrity,

Or to expect the unexpected,
Only the undefined is necessary.

Happiness is used as a means to an end,
And used by the disillusioned.
More than money or arrangements,
It's denial.

It's a counterfeit to the mind being truly stable.

Fruit from the tree of knowledge

LSD is the apple that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge
The knowledge of the universe was opened up to me.
It opened my mind to truths of the world.

My experience with it:
I'd say I ingested LSD a dozen times, and it was a trip.
A trip to far reaches of my body, mind, and soul,
Connecting when they've been closed off because of our "civilizing".

I connected with my world and I saw the humor,
the idiocies of us as humans,
the ugliness of our deepest desires,
and the childlike tendencies we all hide from.

Imagine your five senses twisting and turning into new senses.
Your hearing nerves attach to your sense of smell.
All of a sudden, sounds have smells.
You can taste things by touching them with your hands and feet.
Your eyes taste the colors you see.

I haven't touched mind enhancing fruit for 20 years now.
But these are things I'll always adore,
and never forget.

Indebted

There is something so great,
About being indebted.
A sense of purpose is given,
For being wildly in need.

For money, for love.
For love or money.
But not for the love of money.

If it's lack of sleep to endure,
I don't need it.
Sleep? When I'm dead.
I have bills to pay.
I have happiness to payback.

Romantic Development,
Business Development,
Same thing.
Let the equity and heart grow.

We are connected,
A unit.
A couple or a company.
We're in bed together.

Color

A color.
So simple,
And so complex.

Brown.
So smooth,
It pours itself.

Red.
So vivid,
Blood ties all.

Yellow.
So bright,
It shines on all.

Blue.
So vast,
Above us.

Green.
So lush,
Rolling around.

Orange.
So tart,
Yet so sweet.

White.
So pure,
Gets dirty though.

Purple.
So royal,
Nothing else.

Black.
So angry.
Dark as death.

One Day At a Time

I love to surprise you,
In all the many different ways.
To show you that I care,
For the remainder of our days.

I call you when I can,
When I know I shouldn't call.
To tell you I'm your man,
And that I love you with my all.

I'll continue sending mail,
To show you how much I do care.
You're my loving female,
To me your qualities are quite rare.

I enjoy giving this tranquility,
I enjoy giving you this peace of mind.
By granting you this stability,
We can continue to enjoy our lives.

Day in,
Day out.
One day at a time.

Deserve

I love you very much.

I do it happily and with pride.

Me loving you as much as I do,

Is exactly what you deserve.

Just don't take it for granted, please.

Every day I have loved you,

And continue to give you love,

Is one of the best days of my life.

We'll grow old together and become more in love.

I'll get to brag that our lives began when we first met. 

And everyone around us shares the joy in our hearts.

I'll always want to hold you,

To hug you, to kiss you.

To be with you.

Have you sleep in my arms close,

So I may feel you breathe.

It's because you are my good influence.

I'll spend the rest of my life,

Repaying your kindness.

I'll repay it by being faithful,

And give you everything you deserve.

First letter

My happy thought is you.
On my knees asking for your hand.
Nobody else I'd rather be with.
About you I think of throughout the day.

All the little things you do for me.
Nobody makes it worth so much.
Dreams could not be so rich as this reality with you.

Doesn't matter what happens.
As long as our faith in each other is true.
No other bond is like our family's.
Now we know why we were meant to be.
You and I make the perfect team.
