New Zealander I am a chronic daydreamer with a byronic, pensive disposition, which occasionally generates poetry, and here it is found. I hope you enjoy some of them.
Unassuming leaf Welcomes light, breathes energy Wind blows, smooth blades gleam Blue skies heat strikes green Providing shade and sugars For my revelry Awed by humble tree Wherein a branched court perches Singing passerine

Beenawhile
Am i allowed to write this book though the language is not my own? Am I allowed to walk through blossoms from the trees your father has grown? Am I allowed to slip my tongue in the space behind your heart where the flag of love lifts in the opening dark?

Tongues*
To watch the clouds roll on the firmaments plain, Both within, and without, their expression won't wait Observe sun-lit rain falling all in silkened threads, Descending to proclaim 'earths rock be thy dream bed' There water grew static as a new storm of green An epoch of floral tempests only the sky had then seen Inspired perhaps by radiations spectroscopic artistries They desired to wear waves from 495 to 570 What mad dreams the clouds cried out of such passion to be Miraculous life, the nuclear fruit bore from star to tree Matter motioned towards conscious devotion to survive Unconscious becoming conscious predation of others nuclear awareness' to stay just a while consciously alive Electronivorous cardiomagnetics emanating fields of matter fine Introspective auric spheres vibrate to harmonies a'chime Such hearts all a-hum to dimensions they defined And so from a singularity there would be a beautiful mind What flowers that bloom on these electric fields, The art-forms, machinations that matters personal reality yields Richest pollen for the mind is the written fantasy Colourful petals formed by guitar pedals is one beings audio-mis en scene How many depictions for the eyes there are of Venus' divine bodies No greater art form than complementing aspect, force, and frequency Oh First Cloud, sailing horizons where one never sees the limitless sky For there is naught else to compare, no antithesis or edge to help define We find there forms for pleasure, pain, ideals, but not answers to the neu(t)rons darkest, heaviest dreams Flung through a universe without Dao, only gravity and dopamine Matter would politicise, while surfing a rock in a black sea round just one of many long blazing days Their surfing worlds, mirrors of radiation coursing through an existential void-walled maze

Under pretenses of platonic embraces You placed me in your dark spaces Seems i'm left to try putting pieces back together Or dare to stop the yelling in all forms of weathered Your wounds old as my half-life A knife-artist with words your whetstone's worn from tears And fears Inspired by years of life read strife In which dynamic characters play out their rage but there is no separating stage To guard an audience too young an age Witnessing rated 14 years of pain coming frequently to term in your dynamic rib-cage Only to be released like one of Gigers beasts Tell me how you entertain healing with your lesions so unyielding When your brows wielding a dark frown it cues a cowards heart to fall down I must confess my weakness' too strong to state psychological fact Thus I would retroact as I came back after every attack To this day my silence threatens more verbal violence But I can't blame me as i'm not the only one to see what prunes this knotted family tree We all suffered cuts by our lucidity As we just try to be while on the perifery of such ugly scenes Choosing instead to close an eye while our ears heard you mutually belie Rather than wield the truth and be free of s(illy noise) I wish you would truly lose it Then this tale of anguish might end But until then from dark pasts and burning astrology you won't be free Your troubles need drugs emotion and stimulating company Now which of those is most addictive to your egochemistry Continually self-medicating to satiate such neuro-chemochotomies The thrill of tripping skipping flipping dipping back into youth Do we not serve to intoxicate you remake you ten times tall and years-lost proof And in return the kitchen hordes and possibility doors we're open to yes I won’t fail to mention the gifts given above all of which was the two of you By nature tragic This tangent Can't walk away once one’s chose the path of magic So graphic It's embarrassing to ever have had it Hate no wit These are the wounds I keep open from view So no more shall I lay for you For shame I speak then I make it true Beggars can choose not to be fools but These days i'm kool, gravediggin' on Dr. Seuss ( Dust Kings line: Now there's a playa who spoke the truth) An unseen tapestry of majesty alludes to pagan revelry only in the lines beside our eyes while the tale flows forth from the massives mind it speaks of times of joy and height In which we’d play and with sticks fight the day or contrast it’s way For does not the dark shimmer around the bright That we were hahh the feeling so pure I must heed the god of audio To which we’d all bow so low Like hierophants the more we’d know the more we would then grow into a united flow did carry us like waterfalling up to drink supernal highs Where boredom dares to go and dies Shall we soar with a cccccometeor and finally arrive To a not so modest eden Source of body mind soul feedin’ Where there grew a paradise of seats, and blankets, fires, sweet tea and loquatious freaks And maybe some enlightening treats what feats were inspired by the beats And endless, endless pages of dreams!

Minimalism??
I'm about to fly And I know how to never die Could learn how to forget why One's path goes stretching into the night To live life but never fight Or even question what is right These tiresome metaphors of light... I thought i'd fly instead I bounced Away from that I should have denounced In heart and mind these thoughts do pronounce As pros and cons in ****** bouts Biochemical fits forming knots & skull sport-in-outs Which reshape ones form with which it then flaunts Fair or flawed by what beholders wants haunt... I grew up in that view The one I almost flew into Got shot down by gravity's news 'bout it feeling equal reds and the blues So many hearts broken only for hues These words drown in metaphor, But they're true...

I should be asleep (no deep and hidden meanings there)
Tonight, my heart still beats itself to feel alright for just a scratch-soothing while i suspend myself in the fight and smile as neurons crossed like fingers remember foreword to a time when i'll always feel warm inside Why my core has a habit of overh'eating' by feeding on the very phenomenon-echoes repeating by striking minor chords of flaming screaming having a heart is simply to imply a vascular system of circuitous bleeding on the inside it's becoming of a sensitives pain who's breath inspires irony towards the thought of what (and how this) sustains one's own life for no barrier to the brain could block such a painfully bright self-beside site I always feel but I don't always know why. ...it makes me so angry, this night.

The Halcyon by Virtue of Release Gambit
To live in a place both bright and warm, On which the art of the heart is reflected in form But the heart contains shades of the twisted and absane, From experiences of visceral desire and pain Casting shadows betraying the walls of this bright place, Misshapen against the radiant-true worlds face Opening eyes of men towards their worldward sprawl, Thus above there lies the heavens in monochromic fall, Such colourful devastation, to open the hearts of all.

Some Existential Crap: A Vaguely Meta Comment On This Website.
Once, I was gifted the brightest jewel of all the wide worlds wonder It shone for me with a brilliance, as it had for no other But in my foolishness I cast this priceless jewel away And as it fell t’was broken, the light scattered asunder Now, it will not shine for me And so, I stand in darkness The bitter pain of watching its warmth shining upon others As my own space dimmed, to dark and ugly colours But it was I who cast the jewel that broke, and made itself anew Stronger, fairer, brighter than the untouched jewel that I once knew Still, I cannot bear to see And so, I stand in darkness A jewel so bright, many have sought to bask in its fey light This is no earthen gemstone, nor star that graces the night Most, too foolish to keep it shining upon them alone A jewel set in the breast of artwork fairer and brighter beyond sight Woe, it shines the least on me And so, I stand in darkness A darkness I would have flee from unforgiving fire To burn the earth and all the heavens until I’m alone To end this world with fell flames is to what I aspire And watch the gods despair, at the crumbling of their thrones Yet, I must not turn ugly And so, I stand in darkness Anguish will never wear such a resplendent face, as the one that I shall paint it Despair will be sung truly, in a sweet melodic guise I shall mould regret into a bolt of ruthless doom, enamored with a purpose And pen loss in lustrous tales, to gild a readers eyes All, done with some subtlety And so, I stand the darkness To sound a scream which rends the land, leaving a scar behind To cry deltas flowing back through past deeds, flooding that frame of mind For it to nourish life, of a beautiful, and evolved kind Thus emptied, to float up and admire it from above, weightless, and refined Though, I must tread silently And so, I walk from darkness Finally I saw the truth, after I was told a lie Delivered into the blinding light, I was left wondering why Why I was cursed with the folly to commit the greatest of life's crimes Why I must now see sense, and what has passed me by Still, t’was a choice made by me And thus, I’ve burned with darkness Never, never, ever again, to break such fragile, precious things Nor walk with tactlessness, or tragedy in my stride I'll shine with luminescence of thoughts and deeds most high When some facets of that young boy, have finally, truly died My own jewel shattered, with minds eye open wide Now I understand, this allegory of dark and light

To all beautiful women You have a powerful smile Now this may sound strange But please stay, listen for a while Our hearts in your hands You must handle with care Because your carelessness and cruelty Is a harsh burden to bear And do not take it for granted This gift given to you at birth freely For it has won you praise and love Without effort, so easily Beautiful woman, let the day shine through your smile Beautiful woman, please come talk to me for a while Beautiful woman, won’t you take comfort in my arms Beautiful woman, please heal me with your charms Beautiful woman, you are an exotic being If only you knew, you could pluck my heart like a string To all the beautiful woman You hurt like you heal As you send my mind spinning On this maddening wheel You need to understand Just what you do to me Whether weighing me down with grief Or lifting me up with glee I prize your smile more than a gem In the memories of my mind And it is my wildest of dreams That you would value me in kind Beautiful woman, you hold me in a trance Will you let me take you by the hand, and run off with me to dance? Won’t you visit me, upon your graceful wings I truly seek the healing that your love brings You just don’t know how much I need your smile today Please give it to me in any sort of way Beautiful woman, you shine like the night sky Beautiful woman, I have this sudden urge to fly
