2013:What A Turd Of A Year (Kinda) (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

i want to stand over the toilet and shit out the turd of a year that 2013 was. I want to first express that i am thankful for everything that i have, and realize that a lot of people on this planet have gone through far, far worse than i did in 2013. But this year was a real low for me. But, let's address some positive things first. I met Louis Toliver and started writing again and got inspired to join the Louisiana Words crew. I even started this blog of my own. I ventured out of my comfort zone. i started going out again. I can thank Joel Bergeron for pushing me toward that. And even though we parted ways this year, i will always wish him well. I felt inspired to tattoo my body more this year. Stars and the word FORGIVE. which is huge. a big, big lesson for me. FORGIVE. let it all go. the hurt. the pain. the guilt. the past. FORGIVE and move on with you life. start new things. I took some spiritual steps forward after taking one HUGE step back...i thought that i needed Botox to l

you see this boy in front of you and i say boy because i believe i still am i'm growing learning changing i'm a slow bloomer but it's coming to life i felt wronged by my childhood i felt that life isn't fair i wore the victim hat but something shifted and i've met people who had fathers who abused them and i felt lucky i felt that not having my dad was in a way a gift it inspired me to write and paint and draw i looked for many ways to fill the hole in my life i don't feel like the others around me i feel different i'm oversensitive to things i wear my heart on my sleeve but you have to look past the exterior to see it but i feel it all crumbling i get a change weekly to stand in front of an audience and share my writings share my feelings i get to feel an exchange of energy a connection and i also get to hear what others have gone through and it makes me realize that we are all surviving this life and that happiness is not someth

The Fight (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

i am attracted to The Fight it lives in me having no father helped create it i didn't feel protected so i fought to protect myself built an exterior that no one could destroy huge walls around my heart to block away any pain or hurt i disguised pain with humor distraction there was a huge contradiction between my dimply smile and my sad brown eyes but The Fight grew i wanted my voice to be heard so i wrote words freeing i no longer felt incarcerated by my own pain i remember nights lying in bed reading Anne Sexton and i connected to her oppression she committed suicide and i could sympathize but The Fight was born early in me and i was collecting role models to help me escape my sad childhood artists dancers writers they took me out of the environment i grew up in where something was constantly missing i never even missed him i didn't really know him i guess what i missed was the idea of him The Fight continued and when i felt more comfortable in

Sparkle (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

hard as a diamond soft as cashmere depends on the day and how you treat me it's all in your approach i'm a rough and tough nothing's gonna knock this boy down i'd rather laugh with you than fight i'd rather share with you than take but my soul is a storm and it only takes one ingredient to cause havoc you so watch how you talk to me you'd much rather have my head on your shoulder than up in your face and i'd rather be sweet than sour we are at a point where we are never going to be the same again we are always at that point so let's heal together instead of hurting let's not let the world unravel us

Significant (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

i can picture you sitting in your chair staring out of the window looking at the city below you your face serene and i wonder if you wonder about me why must we wake up in beds in different cities when we love each other two egos fighting to win but both losing and time waits for no man i try to give in but it's not my nature but the wanting for you is stronger than my resolve and i call you and i act like it's all cool can you see through my facade? this love is a masterpiece i keep your shirt in a drawer because it reminds me of that first week and it smells like innocence we may never give in to this love enough to make it work but i want you to know that it's significant it's changed me

Like Moses (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

I want the faith of Moses i wish for his strength i may not have 600,000 Israelites behind me waiting for salvation but i have a Red Sea of my own to part God called on Moses He calls on each of us but sometimes we fail to hear Him because our chaos is louder than His whisper we all have a mountain to climb seas to part we all need to be saved we need a clearer path we all have an Egypt we need to get away from so when i close my eyes and i feel out of control i pray to be more like Moses i want to lead not follow i want to have faith that the obstacles in front of me are not brick walls, but clouds and i will push through

The Shell Eroded (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

surrendering to how i feel it's real i feel so small in a world so big my whispers sometimes louder than my screams and when it's thundering rain it fades away the pieces of myself falling away until all that's left is my core the shell eroded the baggage i carried became too heavy for me to continue with so i left it where it belonged buried in my past and when i close my eyes i feel that i'll be alright to His words i hold on tight i struggled and i fought until i didn't and it got easier my insecurities are lessening lessons lay before me no longer living my life by what you expect respect for myself for my faith belief in the journey and i dance more freely through it all now opinions fall before they damage me took a long time to reach this point no more wasteful living i'm giving it all up elimination clearing my mind cleansing my body renewing my spirit

Shooting Star: My Astral Body (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

alone in a crowd a stranger i don't belong i gaze up at the stars and they feel like home wrap myself in them to remind me that where i am is just temporary travel through this life like a shooting star not sure where i belong so i just keep moving on and on and on and on the points of light in the sky guide me a black night blankets the earth around me but the stars provide hope they twinkle through the vast black sky and as i move through the crowds i feel like i'm moving through thick liquid time drags until i am outside again fixed on the night stars shining down brightly maybe my home is with them astral bodies i've written my own constellation on my body my astral body covered with stars until i can be with them

Embrace (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

The Man Who Gave In (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

you were so mad at me for what you'd done you blamed me it was your vicious cycle i was just anyone in the picture you'd repeated the process many times over i'd diminished who i was i had swallowed my light in order to be with you and you didn't appreciate what you had you ate grass from the pasture next door thinking it would bring you pleasure you didn't treasure what we had and i blamed you as much as you blamed me but in the end i didn't love you you were a stepping stone for me i needed change you provided it i took advantage felt that i owed more than i did so i gave up my soul for us to feel whole and it still didn't work drug my dick through the dirt we tried to destroy each other to no avail cancer took you away in the end and i hope that you dwell in the house of the Lord now and that when i say i forgive you you hear it when you know better you do better i'm trying i may have never really loved you because i

Pike's Peak (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

Pike's Peak looms snowcapped silent mighty been here long before me will remain long after me its power sits there in its greatness vast its power so great that my attempt to climb higher that he wants results in vertigo and a nosebleed even the sun ducks behind him he shadows the land before him stealing the warmth of the sun leaving cold fierce winds that chill to the bone reminding you who is in charge it's humbling beautiful raw ancient the mountain and i we have a bond both unconquerable both born of God's will and God's presence is tangible in the rocks here Like He pushed the earth with his fingers and these ridges resulted put here to remind us that He is ever present and the energy of the Indians remains their knowledge their appreciation of the mountain their respect for the earth their gratitude there is power in the granite and the quartz the Indians knew this and as i look up i can feel the history weighing on me and i

Boulders (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

we are all like boulders clinging to side of a mountain exposed to the elements hoping to not be rolled down out of control into a resting place below praying that the ground doesn't give way beneath us sending us tumbling crumbling we are all part of the mountain little pieces of its evolution proof that it had a past life elemental mineral makeup time has formed each of us unique there is a peace in knowing that even if we slide off the mountain and come to rest in the valley that we are still connected to it that we can stand on our own if there is God in these mountains then we are all part of Him the sum of us making the whole awe inspiring mountain peaks up high valleys below tremendous glory

Wild Fire (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

A Fuckery I Can't Accept (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette, LA)

that day in new orleans/ when i was feeling sinful/ but on fire in a good way/ when my skin still burned from the friction of our raw fucking on the floor/ it clouded my head/ i thought it was fuckery i had to accept/ at the time i accepted it/ but then i realized that it was lust/ there was no love there/ even though our eyes connected as we fluidly ravaged each others bodies/ i was drunk/ on cocktails/ on cock/ on tales/ tales i'd soon feel strong enough to speak of/ i feel that i should tell people not to fuck other people's lovers/ it never ends well/ you were someone else's property/ i might have held your cock in my hands/ but your heart was still asleep in bed with him/ and that's a fuckery i can't accept/ won't accept/ i can't be the other man/ i'm so much more than that/ and like new orleans/ i will continue/ filthy/ fucked up/ but a bit of eternity hangs over me/ and a simple storm like you will never count me out...but god damn the sex was hot

Life Threw Us At Each Other (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

this counterfeit disposition can't be good for your health wasn't for mine you sit across the room from me and i see your smile i see the Light in you that initially attracted me to you i see the real you beneath all the guise you inspire me sometimes if you bore me i'm comfortable and if you interest me i'm scared my attraction paralyzes me but i want to be the real thing and so do you i see it in you and in this drag that life can be at times my makeup's all off who am i? i am a boy sitting across from you relating to your struggle because we are alike and the room smells like Peppermint oil we are both trying to quiet the storm that brews within us but maybe the storm is a gift and we should stop running from it and run toward it embrace our light life threw us at each other for a reason and it's unfolding it's beautiful in your evolution i see my own

Time Takes Everything Away (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

as the cork pops i realize that i'm drowning myself in an ocean of champagne because i couldn't swim in my love for you it was too much for me to handle so i fucked it up because it was the only way i knew but my heart breaks without you and i know that you know it words i can not speak i am able to write and if i could right those wrongs i would but i wouldn't be who i am if i let you change everything about me that doesn't satisfy you so i sip my poison let it enter my bloodstream and give me a buzz to kill the buzzkill of our ending i miss you i do but i'm drunk on this life and i'm addicted to the pain but your kind of pain kills this kind of pain fades headache vs. heartache cheers! i'll drink you away in time time takes everything away at some point

Yellow Brick Road (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

so i want  to wander and i need to wonder and if your love is real it'll be there when i seek it i need to be free to explore this life and maybe it's not my lot in life to be attached to someone else's star maybe it's my destiny to burn my own path through this life take the road alone unknown sometimes i feel like Dorothy Gale making my way down the yellow brick road encountering people who are broken incomplete who are searching for something just like myself whether it be love or strength or courage the road can be long twisted but i'll keep blazing my way my very own yellow brick road leading to self love but don't think i won't miss you along the way i will i do but i need to conquer this demon on my own and if we never get the chance to reunite in this lifetime perhaps i'll love you in the next

Ghosthunters (by Miserlu from New Iberia, LA)

The nightly routine of hitting the bars somehow didn’t seem to feel right that night. I still don’t know how the two of us ended up driving around together that night, but we did. James was driving. We went all over Acadiana that night with no real direction or destination in mind. We passed some things more than once. We just drove and talked and listened to music and sang. I couldn’t even tell you the name of the street or where it even was, but something caught our eyes in that dark field. James stopped the car on the side of the road and we sat in the car for a little while, staring at the blue light hovering in the middle of the field. We whispered to each other, wondering what it was, why it was there, what it was for. We whispered as though someone were listening in even though there was no other person in sight…not that we could see anyway. The field was obviously part of a farm or ranch. It was large and surrounded by a fence. In the distance we could hear the occasional

I Am Who I Should Be (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

A Prey of My Own Trap (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

i am colorblind i robbed you of your innocence in a bed filled with sin you pushed me in you thought you were ready for what i had it was  like a bittersweet symphony the way i ate your heart as the blood dripped down my chin i felt a sense of pride that i'd raped what you held dear as sweet as it was at first it turned bitter as i watched you wither i felt pity guilt you were the ultimate bet i'd done my ground work to win you over tasted your youth now i feel the villain penicillin won't cure what i've done to you corrupted you drug you down addicted you to the sex i waved before your face such disgrace but the smile on my face faded i felt jaded the game consumed you but it consumed me too i died a little inside "i don't trust myself with you" you said in my bed but it was me who you shouldn't have trusted busted a prey of my own trap i jump from this ledge to end the games the battle and on my way down i think

The Strength To Continue (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

the hurt i felt the hand i was dealt i'm making peace with it now and how i'll never know you didn't get to watch me grow and sometimes i look up at the sky fight the urge to cry and all i hope is that you're proud of who i am today it's the only way i don't crumble under the weight of my past knowing that not all bad things last it gets better if you make it so it's all i know and the sun shines again and i smile inside i'm wild because the hurt was so bad it was almost homicide it was a rough ride not getting to know you and i couldn't do nothing to make it reverse a curse living without him wishing for what coulda been i'll never understand the hand i was forced to handle and like a candle i shine from the knowledge i have today it lights my way out the dark lights my spark but under the peace still lie my scars but i turned them into stars and they decorate my neck not such a wreck stars up and down my arm

Moses (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

You parted my thighs Like Moses commanded the Sea And you dove in Knew I'd hook you Harpooned by my lust for you My eyes rolled back in my head Pleasure took me Higher The feel of your wet lips The sound was oral There was a want hanging in the air You wanted love I wanted sex Roles didn't matter Sometimes it takes a dominant man to submit Commit Sins Alive in the dark Lighting my spark You fucked me with a greatness Mighty I craved it Open And I thought about it the next night As I explored the cavity that you'd awakened Raw Exposed Devoured And the picture in my mind is hotter than the picture on my phone We fucked religiously You exorcized the demons of my lust Be good or be good at it Fuck being good How can this be a sin? I let you in And we both exploded Intensity lit the room And I tasted the way I tasted in your mouth Your dick was like Morphine Killing the pain of my past Hazed The hangover left me wanting more Needing more

Rid Of Your Filth (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

you exposed me even beneath my skin you encouraged me to share my soul opened my world up new reborn caught up in you lights lost my rights your words were lies wrapped in delicious shells and i gorged myself because i was looking for salvation i sought to be saved unaware that i could save myself the tattoos on my body telling my story before i met you forgive i'd learn to do that stars i was above it all you left me lost in a maze amazement nearly finished me sucked the air right out of my lungs watched me bleeding out just to keep you going this game is over stay on your side in your own corner because you know i'm stronger than you you know i am filled with Light what you show to everyone else is a rotting facade and i've seen through it i see your sickness your cancer eating you from the inside out addict cloaked in darkness shame and i cut it free let you drift off back on my own path rid of your filth

My God Wrap His Arms Around Our Unit (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

A prayer for the people that i work with the people that i walk through the fire everyday with the people that have superglued themselves to my heart May God wrap his arms around our unit protect us from further sorrow may we gain wisdom from what it is that we are facing may we remain together may we not question His motives may we continue along in Faith May peace be restored may our lives once again be calm.

To: Alice (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

I will remember you for your laugh and how you laughed with your eyes i will remember your kindness your joyful spirit and how no matter how tough the day was, you never complained you were just our little worker bee doing what you had to do we will never know why but your existence was too brief like a super nova bright light and for that i will remember you when i am having a bad day at work, i will remember your spirit and i will smile i will smile in your honor.

Fueled By Love (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

"You're only as sick as your secrets" he said in the dark "you have no idea" i thought, licking my lips i was on fire felt it everywhere no longer afraid of anything wanting to sit on the edge for a while and then jump into the abyss that i knew was his love duct tape hogtied willingly "hold on baby" he said the camera flashed i was always into photography gagged bound trusting that it wouldn't go too far my skin electrified with lust complete surrender and even the hurt was hot the pain was renewing i hadn't felt anything in a while and when you've experienced a void of feeling feeling wanted is a good thing it wakes you up "i love you" he said and in that moment he was my god and my monster at the very same time he was all that i needed and the only thing i wanted his gin kisses sent me to heaven the smell of his sweat was intoxicating the feel of his tongue on my neck behind my knees in my armpit

Caged (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

arrested kidnapped not sure what happened not sure how not sure when not sure why but it's a battle cry tied up and held for ransom too high a price to pay silenced for the words i say freedom of speech you say? what a joke we live in a world crawling with fear and fear gives birth to hate and hate leads to violence you bruised my face with your fist threw me to the floor bloodied slammed the bars behind me trapped like an animal caged enraged i will fight you with all of my might and i won't break you with my hatred i'll bathe you in Light

The Light Of My Love (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

turn up the lights in here baby let it glow extra bright for everyone to see illuminate let it seep through the darkness and coat everything bask in it grasp it golden white bright Light feel as it heals as it warms as it thaws out the tundra of your heart close your eyes and feel it feel it rush over you like a wave but instead of drowning you it will save you bathe in it accept it have faith in it nothing can fade it in the night your face lit up and i knew you were aware so think of me every now and then and feel the light as it pours out of my palms the light of my love for you shines

Kissed by Judas (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

"don't be so serious" you say fuck you you're a fake piece of shit seriously the guise you wear is a lovely robe sewn up of all of your insecurities like threads but it's unravelling and what's underneath isn't so pretty no longer hung up i'm free of you free of what i thought you were your biblical references are a joke you're the opposite of Light you were a thief of mine but it burns white and hot and intense seriously you sold me out for 30 silver coins JUDAS left me in the garden to be seized after your seductive kiss thought that everything good was gone thought that you'd carry on with your show that i wouldn't reveal you for what you are serpent thief false but i saw it before it killed me i wasn't crucified by your hate and the crown i wear isn't of thorns and the traitor you were was a gift to me betrayal suited me well well better than your cheaply sewn garment that you wear to hide who you

Loving The Wrong Person Can Buy You Your Own Happy Ending (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

you tried to silence me disregarded me shoved me into a box that could not contain me you were afraid you knew i'd grow into something far larger than you could handle i blew out your candle left you in darkness my Light you could no capture out of your grasp away from your jealous grip i began to find my strength find my way once my eyes were opened to who you really were i ran as hard as i could in the opposite direction the lies you sell the tales you tell i want none of you are all facade a hallow center you paralyzed me temporarily your love was toxic i gagged on it vomited it violently to rid my soul of your corruption the emesis of our love showed me what it really was toxic killer disguised hatred you could never accept me for who i really am you couldn't look me square in the eyes for fear that i'd see through you like a window transparent and once the hangover wears off the joy will rise again never to be contained again it will

I Love You No Longer (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette, LA)

behind the bars of your love imprisoned trapped oppressed your love locked me in locked me down silenced me blinded me deafened me all of my senses senseless you refused to hear me you were afraid of me this thing you called loved was just obsession possession and i thought that i was a fool for no one but i fell so hard for you bought your lies outright i don't know why i'm so surprised you took everything to extremes loved me hated me and now that it's over now that i'm not associated with your crippling narcissism these bars are bending as if by my will i long to be free to be me i'd rather hear nothing than anymore of your lies so if i'm left with residual deafness at least i won't be blind blind to your hate you with all your gorgeous words you dissolve into nothing but a false prophet someone who can not walk the walk i loved the way you lied but i love you no longer
