The Enchanted Skyline
Jamie L Cantore Dec 2014
To overcome this still inertia--impassioned as I am with
my wise reservation--is a cumbersome thing wrapped in a naked singularity that does tuggeth me between sluggish grief and brief elation. Betwixt the shore of imagination and the nexus that is the horizon, I revel in a non-spatial continuum of sanity, watching the celestial spheres in constantly changing velocity above me circle around a periphery, each like a space born diadem.


Released from reality, I see Thee with an adventure in hand,
(though it currently only resides in my minds travels.)
He is the King of Kings in His secret land, and it there that
is where the living conundrum unravels. I lose all of my attachments until I am free to be married to my destiny, which haunts my dreams and drinks up my being like a weeping willow tree: but at last I have surrendered to the
perfect Grace that has annihilated me.

Now there is only the diversity in the unity that has
awakened my natural love, empowering me to attempt the
ascent from this mortal levee, and kiss the endless sky above.
A collaboration with my father, Doctor of Theology Randolph L. Smith

United in sadness
                      o'er a wars
        unavailing remorse,
             these sorrowful eyes
                      of ours weep the
                                regrettable cries
                  of woe which pours
           fastest o'er the fruitless
                 longing that forced
             the hand that feeds
                 to clench into a fist;
a violence that too
                 many know,
and I
am no passerby in
                                   this
-my house was supposed
                              to be a home.

This book represents the majority of my Poetry since childhood. I hope you enjoy it.
Jamie L Cantore Dec 2014
Vibrations about the flitting wings
of a sparrow stir the knitting winds
that intimate the strain he sings
in delicate untainted rings.

The sound of placatory waves
splash upon the walls of caves,
echoing with a pulse and pace
that causes my heart to race.


My figure taut in fixed animation,
essence rapt by an incantation,
nothing expresses the veneration
I've always had for her creation.

Nameless
Jamie L Cantore Mar 2017
Echoes Life, that once felt from light,
Unduly ample for my individual sight,
A genuine Self-a particle ungrounded-
Each we see, all tinctures of all shade
By interposition of calignosity made,
Remain it veritably Life unbounded?
Ev'ry thought, woe, joy of live breath,
Is it stronger than inevitable Death?
              
       -Life is Death, as yet unfounded.

Impressive Disappointments
Jamie L Cantore Apr 2016
Glory unknown, by cell hidden -revealed
Too from sightless vision opened; sealed
Within; outside his/hers abundance/dearth.
Now then still moving released, captured
Then, now free. Indentured servant served
Better worse then -than- now best worst.
That this selfsame opposite cursed blessed
Blessing; cursing all; nothing confessed;
Denied us them long; short smooth course
Right left whole divided. Letdown supports
Her hem, this that cloaked unveiled attempts,

Succeeds by far, impressive disappointments.

Glass Coffin
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2015
To wither, vanish, fade and diminish,
Dissolving in a glass half - empty
That forgets, whilst growing
In Time's passage and e'er
Shrinking with age, is
To wither, vanish, fade and diminish.

Darling, I heed thy cries as you feel
Blemished, and are becoming nearer
To Death than to me, 'cause I cannot
See the petals for the rose ye be,
Or at times sense what scents
Linger in your train, as you
Do wither, vanish, fade and diminish.

However, in perfumed decay, I watched
You sustain your image, and persevere
In a glass that I changed out and made
Half-full, being so careful when putting
You back in it, but still you most certainly
Do wither, vanish, fade and diminish.

The day has come and you have gone
Away, and those familiar feel an agony,
As we display you finally in a heavenly
Vase, for our good-intentioned and
Religious ceremony: but now I will
No longer see you
To wither, vanish, fade and diminish.

Impatiently Waiting
Jamie L Cantore Nov 2014
A sad sad notion is held captive in my encephalon,
My island prison known as the brain,
Which is in the upper echelon
Of every vital *****.

Despite my determined mental exertion
Towards this difficult action,
Still on the impenetrable question
I stall;

And my poor dumb cranium
Does richly smart in frustration,
And my apertures of vision
Are filled with tears yet to halt.

And even if I one day straighten
The crooked mark out,
I am left then at a loss for the answer
That I want to gain right now.

Ancestry
Jamie L Cantore Jul 2016
The sky muted silver in color,
And I am still running,
Looking up from the earth's dolor.
The luminaries of the heavens
Glowing bright in appearance.
Breathless, devoted,
Twinkling at me as I think of her,
As time-worn relics shine;
Burst thru patina tints.
Smooth, burnished,
Brought to a luster again
After many years neglected in Time.
The corridors where my ancestors
Ran and run. This affected peace to me,
And I am one with them,
From this day on,  I am one.
Take me thru the years,
The key to open doors,
To another day, another way,
With hopes in tow; and  I realize this day, as I think of them…  

I know I am never
As alone as I think I am.

Far From Me, Far From Her
Jamie L Cantore Nov 2014
I am given to an unfamiliar direction,
disturbed into one in need, by confession,
of sympathetic sorrow, and her fond affection.


Yet I was left to fall to ruin in a mode, a condition
of the great and hapless misery of this wan dejection,
by the one whose sweet tenderness once was unquestioned.


Her lovingness by no thoughts is considered to be any more.
She became a shadowy wretch that was long ago and once before
a primary source to my poor crying heart's deep and ever endless store.


To my heart's succor she could not allot a smidgen more,
because I lost my way by way of a muse whose virtue was pure,
and I was lying within my secret hideaway far from me, far from her.
She and her refer to my ex .
Also, this was a longer poem, but it began to have an irregular meter,
So I will write a new poem with the left-overs.

Nightwind & Angelbreath
Jamie L Cantore Feb 2017
I have traveled these fields
For days,
Watching the moon shining,
Angel hair
Flowing  in the nightwind;
And the fall of rain upon
Her lovely face.

When she smiles I can
Feel her glow,
But where she
Takes me...
I dunno.

If God would
Send a sign
I could tell
If my love
Is a waste
Of time,


Or perhaps she is a
Figment of my daft
Mind;
                      And she
Doesn't     know
I am alive.

A Pixie Named Stick
Jamie L Cantore Mar 2017
At night in the hamlet, a noise broke the silence. A quite small pixie named Stick
Was napping in the forest just round midnight or so, she fancied she heard
Her name being called thru the wood by some lover. She sat there by her snail shell hut like an intoxicated hobbit, then she crept on down to the dale, and spied
Wee little fireflies dancing in the air like nightlights flown by daring pilots with no particular place to go.

Thus I Heard
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2016
O Thou whose angel is in the holy place
Of human souls dwells there for a space.
Which from that quarter once conveyed,
To be to deep daedal daytime displayed,

Doth be lost, vanish, and leave behind
Mere barren and void of ****** mind,
Which froward urge doth seek in vain
With random desires to furnish again!

O Thou that in our torn rib cage shrine
Dost dwell desolate, obscure, but divine!
I thought to murmur, I resolved to say,
"The beacon is here, witness the way."
The cry was thus, and thus the Word,
And thus I saw, and aye! Thus I heard.

Dues Ode

Should love spring also with Spring!?
Here birds and herds art all so whisp'ring;
O* all recall the bliss that thee Bliss brings!
Dale and combe, do entertain, o'erdue regales;
Sweet pipings piped twain boon nightingales;
Here a throng hears; here a throng sings.
A-strutting didst he; a ditzy strutter e'er go.
Gone so long•each to each•  is each woe,
O what if ten -
steal gentle,* O Woodruff!?
What if ten by hundred do so flee to steal away,
Lest the sadness's of Winter's existence thee allay,
SO would an woodland rill still rill all it could've?
Class: Irregular Ode
Tone: Positive with a tinge of Negatives
The Argument: Questioning if looking for Love in the brightest of places; "Nature" in the best of times, with the worst of Luck is a good idea. Woodruff is a type of plant, but also the name of the Protagonists dog
Double entendres throughout/ Wordplay in Title, and in the phrases, especially the phrases italicized such as: "Steal Gentle"(quietly sneak off or leave; or if you prefer dark Poetry it could mean die without a fight, "second meaning inspired by "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas ) & "Woodruff"  "Steel" being opposite of "Wood" and "Gentle" being opposite of  "Rough" /Selfsame Word Pairs also present

Note that all worthy love is worthy thee note,
Blessing that within you, within that blessing;
Writing thee in Love, my only learning by rote.
"Guest," to "Heart"now you list so, I see guessing.

Blest, I writ thee, there Love was found best.
Gift by each musing or logic therewith,
That one forms, all in form,one that blessed
That one Heart is all my Heart, inside I live.

Better much that ye love certainly I. Mine adored
Gladly that darling and essential, "Nature."I espied
Never fault in thee, yet deep region, that I explored.
Be trusted as true; double seeing hearts be ALLIED.

ALLIED be hearts seeing double; true as trusted be.
Espied I that region deep, yet thee in fault never.
Nature, essential and darling, that gladly
Adored mine. I certainly love ye that much better.

Live I inside Heart,  my all is Heart, one that blessed
That one form in all forms; one that therewith that
Logic -or musing each by gift, best found was Love
There. Thee, writ I blessed. Guessing, see I? So list

You now Heart to Guest. Rote by learning only my
Love, in thee. Writing; blessing that within you, withinthat blessing. Note thee worthy? Is Love worthy all that note?
Turning lines is where the first part of the poem is read backwards to finish the second.

Sweet Nothings
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2016
I stood cautiously upon that great hill,
The breeze was calming, & so very still
That the sweet new blooms were proud.
Languid pull, in a curve, neath a shroud,
Their sweet leaves by sweetness stems,
Crowns  that keep those astral diadems
Caught from the budding tears of morn;
And clouds were fair, so wispy and borne
Fresh from the clear beck; they still slept
Upon azure plains of sky; and then crept
A faint buzzing among the green leaves,
Born of a sigh that that quietude heaves,
For not the dimmest stirring in the scene,
Of all the umbrage that lie o'er the green;
Was seen as yet, such Joy
such solace did bring.

Fetters Of Idleness
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2016
Oft, in the tranquility of the night,
Ere the fetters of idleness bind me,
Tender thought of you bears a light
Of distant offbeat days that find me:
The tenderness expressed, the tears
Of young manhood's sluggish years;
The sound of lovely words so spoken;
The eyes that at that moment shone
Now eclipsed, obscured, and gone.
The gladsome hearts now broken!
Thus, in the tranquility of the night,
Ere the fetters of idleness bind me,
Sad thoughts of you bring no light
By melancholy days that find me.

Tenderly, permit us repose Love in serenity deep,
as thus, boughs bending well above whorl their
shades o'er us. Let's unite our hearts as one, minds'
and souls' ecstasies, hedge twain the buds' nebulous
energies. Veil your eyes and soul at rest, released
from all trifling endeavor, arms folded o'er your
beating breast, dispel proud avidity forever.

Let's bow then, by and by, to the winds, tranquil
and sweet, as their wafted lullaby breathes on
golden wheat at your feet. And when darkness
does fall from the soaring trees, darkening, in
the warblers sweet call -our pain will slowly sing.

Melancholic Thoughts
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2015
Taut and without motion my darkness does repose, after settling in, descended to the greater depths of misery, where conflict did me in. And wherefore I do title that interval between birth and extinction with a greater respect, tho yet, the truer aspect of my heavy burden could not but reveal itself in grandest magnificence, it's pride akin
to heroes, standing akimbo, triumphant 'gainst my struggles within.
Jamie L Cantore Jan 2016
In the beginning God created the heaven and earth.When I consider the heavens,the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visiteth him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedest him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Or a little while inferior to Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. And He said, It is a light thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

The Cycle Of The Torments
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2016
Here, where the sphere remains quiet,
Here, where all torment rightly seems
As do breathless winds before the riot;
And clouded visions o' cloudy dreams,
Do watch the pastures there growing,
For harvesting lads and such sowing,
For the reaping hour and the mowing,
A sluggish world of sluggish streams.

I have grown weary of sobs and laughter:
And folks that crow and those that weep,
Of what may come there in the hereafter,
For those that slowly sow and swiftly reap;
And I tire of days that grow weary of hours,
Wafted buds of those stilled lifeless flowers,
Desires and ideas; and also of such powers;
And of every single double thing but sleep.

Here growth has ruination for a neighbor;
And far from seeing eye and listening ear,
Pale waves and ****** winds force labor
On flimsy ships and temperaments to steer;
To drive out of control, and therein wither;
And woe not do those who place them thither:
But no such ****** whirlwinds ******* hither -
No such wrongs felt, seen, or so perceived here.

Flee from me as far & gone as our needs must be -
To the distant stars & beyond; this, my plea to thee.
Keep from me worn & wan; My Grief, My Misery!

No mask could disguise your wise nature;
ye high scholar, who yet does retain a
moving soul within his line, with an ear
tuned to silence as you expound upon bold
situations, hidden in age old remote spaces
without nomenclature: for though you remain
plagued in an endless Drama, and are of the cost
aware, you write with wit the writ, and thru this
protect it's characters from the public with honor,
by filling the page with secret clues to these truths
which you must declare or suffer.

You are a man on fire, on whom despair does cause
pause, because for all of us does dismal loss bring the
gloom of the sepulcher. So ever remain a man over whom
thy decease cannot loom like stormy weather; a king over
his subject matter, who wilt remain a preceptor who is not
to be beset by savage settlers.

The ring of fellowship did entertain you in youth, and
glorious is the power of heavenly sovereignty on thy
conscious existence's tall stature! And forthright you stir
a generation into childlike veneration at an earnest
endeavor, bethinking before long thy charity of knowledge
shall carry thee into the halls of academic history,
( like all great philosophers.)

And thru systematic theory you taught us to ask ourselves
this problematic query, " If a man's slowly dying emotions
cannot continue alive internally, were they not dyed with
fugitive colors?"

Burn down so low. O a dragon eye deplorable...
Stares thru your soul, like windows in the oracle.

The Jester King
Jamie L Cantore Jul 2015
A king, a bard, round and round,
He seems retired, but hasn't found
What we see as universal truth,
Whereas it thieves him of his youth.

Now love stirs the  motley  fool
So his words might be dim & cruel,
Yet he crowns her then with jewels
Respect that comes with  *I love you.

No Fear
Jamie L Cantore Jun 2015
Bear thyself forthwith, O Dear Courage,
Carry on with I to many regions unexplored,
Wheresoever the earthen floor can hold.

No quarter for fear to bear nor yet here flourish,
Not this breast or soul, e'en  if one the more
Could be taken, this hour brought forth to unfold.

Tho I fathom not hardihood, you do with care here nourish
My gentler soul, O My Soul, so you are worthier to adore.
Stay to me, and we will all the wonders of this world uphold.
Jamie L Cantore Mar 2016

Participation
Jamie L Cantore Feb 2017
Counselor asked us how we can change a negative word into something positive...
I wrote on the board "Judge Me N't."

Fickleness
Jamie L Cantore May 2016
The time that has perished by mine own doing in vain pursuit of wooing, in dreaming of issuing... the light which lies in womens eyes -I most guilty am. Guilty of pursuing; and all for what more than my self-undoing. All all but blind to my pickle, eschewing my darts a' shooting for their hearts, which from the start hath been made a little fickle.

The Steep Path
Jamie L Cantore Dec 2014
Sages  whisper  truth  of  a  path  that's  narrow
And  most  difficult  to  ascend  for  humankind.
T'is  true,  I  know,  for  one  did  sing  his  mind
Thru  the  evening  song  of  a  vesper  sparrow

-And I hear Him beside my thoughts aloud.

To  overcome  the  passions  of  this  still  inertia
Mixed  with  my  own  mind's  keen  reservation,
Is  a  hard  battle  between  grief  and  brief  elation
In  the  cold  night  or  dreary  day,  and  vice  versa.

When  I  am  in  my  solitude,  I  choose  to  drift  by
With  the  dread  riptide  of  the  moment,  while
Striving  for  the  peace  of  the  ebb  tide,  a  smile
Upon  my  face  to  let  me  know  it  will  be  alright

-And I hear Him beside my thoughts aloud.

When  I  am  between  the  shore  and  the  pleroma
Violet  horizon,  I  revel  in  a  continuum  of  space,
With  the  music  of  the  spheres  whirling  apace
To  a  forbidden  rhyme  as  I  perfect  my  persona.

I  ­lose  all  of  my  attachments  until  I  am  free  to  be
Married  to  my  destiny,  which  haunts  each  dream
And  drinks  up  my  soul  like  a  weeping  willow  tree.   I  have  surrendered,  nearer  to  our  God,  to  Thee

*-And I hear Him beside my thoughts aloud!
Another take on the collaboration that I did with my father
years ago.

Mimicry
Jamie L Cantore Dec 2014
A  brisk  gale  wind
     blows  thru  my
clanking  gears-
thunder  shears-
and  my  riven ­ ears
then  hear  nothing:
but  thru  clairaudience
I  will  ever  be ­ a
master  of  everything
that   ravishes  the
world  beneath  your
feet.

The  pompous  skies
dri­nk  up  the  seas,
to  drop  thus  upon
my  eyes  in  beads;
and ­ as  I  pen  my
muse's  advice,  the
ink  disappears  from
the  s­heets;  and  watcher
dieties-in  the  third  choir
of  the  celes­tial  hierarchy-
now  have  useless  wings.

Oh,  mold  my  verna­l
features  into  a  candle
effigy— watch  them  gleam—
then  gro­w  so  low  by  high
degrees; and  the  wax  melting  by
the  heat  of  flame  -to  once  again­
downturn  my  merry  cheeks.  So  if
you  please,  masquerade  a­s  a  blessed
princess  -before   I  am  consumed  completely-
and  I  will  play  both  parts  o­f  the  duelling
princes.  One  a  man, the other  a  machine.

Go,  rendezvous  with  my doyenne madness!

Indeed  the  tryst  could  cause  my  discarnate
ghost­  to  scarper.  I  will  wrap  a  cloak  around
my Joy  and  Sadn­ess   
—pleased that I  might hide  my  spare  character; or  at  least  proclaim  thee
dressed  a  bit  sharper.

Morning Time
Jamie L Cantore Sep 2016
Gift to me gifts, sure! not your present pleas
-Ne'er take me for the motley foolish things.
If truly ****- poor posture deadened Grief,
(Where late thee adored thee, got thee by the cruelest means.)


Wish duly this, you're not sure, pressing needs
-There may be morphine by the tulip leaves.
It's to me this: pure, hot, for less than these.
Share, make me more; free not the ghoulish wings.

Which doobie hits? Forgot your lesson, Steve?
Swear they need Morning Time, it's the newest tease.
This truly is, more, (not for questioning.)
Where maybe pure themes rhyme with the truest ease.
I neither use drugs nor do I condone usage.

Lesson In Appreciation
Jamie L Cantore Feb 2017
Love is more than feasts for the eyes.
Gorgeous flowers always do inspire
Possessive urges -no need to despise
Such flaw.Yet if unquenchable desire
Ignites you more by just a ***** action,
You lack a tinder to make a spark a fire;
I would ask a kiss and give her passion
She's never known before, and admire

             -And nothing more.

But perhaps I end too abruptly here,
I would also stroke her lovely hair;
And ask her to scream at the air...

       Just to let out the raw emotion
That comes with being torn open. Life's so good, and yet so unfair.

Predator Or Prey?
Jamie L Cantore Nov 2014
Incalcuable wolves in viscious hunger long in darkness
and savagely rove the land for prey, their perverse
fangs gripping and ripping in circumstances of Love!

And to ye blood red and bell-shaped victims, the quarry
of Temptation, indentured to realize days of sacrilege,
all in a detestable binge of Lust; ye must be dismally fond of tyrannical pain, by virtue of not merely playing, but also being
the game.
