Manly Man.(BH)

I don't want my long hair
pretty green eyes with
no I do not have on mascara
Eyelashes
Skinny figure
Undersized T-shirt

Hip
Shake
Too
Much
when I walk

Confuse anyone...

I am a Manly Man!

Within this sissy frame
obviously rib laden chest
lies a heart
that beats

to the drum of a
Native American ritual dancing
wildness

It pumps an evercascading suppy of untamedness
that a herd of wild mustangs have yet to grasp.

If danger lurks about, I will seek it out.
If adventure abounds, there I will be found.
If a damsel be in distress

I will show her who is best.

I am a Manly Man!

Because I don't flush
and I leave the lid up.

I drive a nineteen
eighty-eight
Ford Pick-up truck.

Girls don't break up with me
I break up with them first!
(except the last time, it didn't really work out that way)

I don't shave the hair on my face
(because there really isn't any,
but when I can grow hair I won't shave it.)

Because beards are tough.
I fart
burp
spit
when I want

Not caring who is nearby

Disrespect my momma
and I will punch you in the eye!

I am a Manly Man!

Or am I?

I tell my guy friends that I love them.
And sometimes, I even hug them.
No I'm not gay.

I just love them.

When I watched Bambi
I cried.
When my mema gets mad
I still run and hide.

Like David I want to be a man after God's own heart.
I'm not there yet, but I'm past the start.

And when people talk
I try to listen
a spirit of compassion
That's my vision.
Surely I am a Manly Man
I want to be loved
and have love
and give Love.
(and not just that romantic kind either)

Although I am looking for that beauty
Not helpless
But wants to be rescued.
The Damsel in distress
Man
Woman
Myth
True.

I will fight for her.

Climb the highest tower for her

Love her.

Share with her.

Delight in her.

Be her warrior.

Her protector.

She will be my crown
and I will be hers.

My Masculinity will be passed down
and affirmed to my sons.

Each of my daughters will know they are lovely
and deserving of authentic romance.

Society tells me all day long

That I have defined manhood completely wrong.

But you ask any honest man and he will agree
You ask any honest woman and she too will see

That I am a Manly Man!

Bradley Hathaway

Untitled prayer to the night of numb tears that cease to grow and cut off all life inside the empty enigmatic abyss of poetic sorrow and love trapped.

Silence.
...
..
.
..
...
poetry flowing from nowhere
onto nothing.
absent
lost from sight
mind
music. fading away
leaving me empty.
alone
broken
Leaving me to dream
alone in this nightmare
As the cold strikes my skin
my naked skin
as crimson rivers flow
the waterfalls cease
the numbness growing
like a tree in the ground
untitled, meaningless words
drip onto the paper
falling slowly from my fingertips
music getting louder
waterfalls beggining to flow
crimson rivers stain and cease
and the night moves on.

untitled

Its just one of those days

blood rushing to my finger tips

as i bleed.

hiding the pain i scream

inside this silent enigma..

of my mind

Forgive me if i am in the way

i just cant see how..

how its always them all day

i can't see now.

im trying so hard

to find

my calling

i hear it abroad

is that mine

or am i just falling

as i leap away

from this ship

from night

to day

where has the time gone

where is my feeling

why am i so numb

who am i

where are you.

Goodnight.

Forever

My love.

Jesus Christ.

MY savior.

Has been in my life for exactly one year 9 months. and one day

why do i keep track.

it helps me remember that i accepted him

he didn't force me to him

he didn't rip the blade from my hand

he didn't beat me and trick me to comming to him

he just walked right next to me

day by day he got close and closer and pushed me in the right direction

just a little nudge

just so i could hear the words

God. Loves. You.

Jesus. Died. For. You

They. Want. YOU!

so here i am

one year

nine months

and one day later

alive.

Can you hear it

the beat of the bass

the wild hum of the horns

the whistle of the woodwinds

can you hear it

the beat of my heart.

given to me by none other

that my Lord and Savior

that breath that God

ever so lovingly

breathed in

and out

straight into my lungs

can you hear it

the music of nature

the music of the soul

the music that our savior

intended us to hear

among the trees

deep inside

hiding

all you have to do is just listen

and pray

all i say is

DUMB

So. Gods playing field is the dumbest game ever. it looked interesting so i decided to try it. turns out it was a waste of 5 minutes of my life. It starts out with a man going up to heaven to figure out why his friend died. he says to GOD"my friend died and he didnt do anything wrong." All of a sudden God just passes out. what is he in the game narcoleptic. God doesn't sleep. Then the "visitor" goes to the computer that God has. and starts browsing and finds an icon titled "Gods Playing Field" and starts to play killing people left and right unlocking new weapons to use. with the final one being a nuke which destroyes earth. where is the fun!? Hate this game!
