indeed it lingers,
after its first stinging,
compact and perfect,
not a word extra,
the slow and measured
pace of self realization
the accidental poet
arrived in March,
and lingers into April,
causeway of my tears,
envious of the bravery
of one so daring young
you bump into strangers,
apologize after being stung
and stunned, before the slow
realization that you, the one,
she alters, the first poem read,
this day, lingers still and into on
the fleeting ephemeral of spring,
born in rain, blooming in May,
and written, this note to self,
hid in the forest of shade loving
short lived beauty blooming,
it feeds the forest, feeds me
and unsurprisingly
I print it, and like a sticky note
attach it to my refrigerator door
an act of poetic justice,
a reminder
to do it better, even perfect?

Come in late
You’ve already been replaced
Talk to your friends
Then get ignored
Walk to lunch
And sit all alone
Everybody thinks they’re in the right
Decided it’s the best
To leave you behind
They’ll forget you
Upon chaotic crowds and lines
Nobody notices you
Just wasting your time
Are you really my friend?
You don’t have to pretend.
I can leave
And never talk again
Feeling like an extra
Not needed here
What is my purpose?
My existence isn’t clear

it’s fuzzling (fuzzy n’ puzzling)
this pizza emoji broad based, across
all ages, ubiquitous and beloved to
all, universality
it’s meaningful to the otherwise
meaningless noise that emotional
connoisseur connotations that replace
what used to be called conversation
so this Valentine’s Day, my beloved
will receive her extra thin crust mozzarella
plain, (I pay more for less!) replacing her
dalliance trials with various margarita pizzas
The kids, with greater appreciation for
the creative sudy of pizza design have
some crazy notions that are toothy shocking
to reveal herein publicly
the weighty concerns of the underlying
true meaning of this caricature is beyond
my ken, I’ll wiggle away gracefully and
please please an extra cheese variation
with barbecue sauce?
P. S. YES, yes, this indeed is an
only love poem of course

the cardiologist, in passing, remarks, or perhaps,
“re-marks” my ECG test, casually revealing
that every fifteen or twenty or so of my regularly scheduled
hearts beats, an extra one sneaks it, which appears
unlike all the rest of those normative little hillocks
pointing skyward, ^ ^ ^ V ^ ^ ^ ^
yep that one,
sneaky ****** slips in, pointing downwards
like a class clown always disrupting classroom’s good order…
Doc reassures it don’t mean a thing
if you got that extra swing,
and our friendly informing internet reassures:
“The idea of your heartbeat going rogue may sound alarming.
But in most cases, an ectopic beat is a harmless condition.
It's also a common one”
but yet I am intrinsically intrigued,
oh yeah, that’s an intentional funny double entendre,
but methinks that explains
so much of my irregular, irreverent poetry scribbling,
particularly because this bratty beat be best addressed directly as:
“You Little Rogue!”
a highly scientific term,
taught in medical schools by non-poets,
but needy for definitions that the layman
can love and keep in their
heart shaped hands…

Leaning on femininity as an excuse
Me being the opposite gender equivalent to being handicapped in a wheelchair
But biological differences are not a disability
They are unique birth attributes
My extra chromosome doesn't make me less of a person it just makes me less of a man

Recently I came to the conclusion that our body's are perfect, it's taken a long time!
The fact is we are all truly beautiful and diverse in shape and size.
I no longer look at the symmetry; lips, forehead, broad or narrow faces, chins, noses, jaw, eyes, cheekbones, how clear and smooth is the skin; how tall or small the frame.
I've come to realise that over time, these comparisons are a form of physical nostalgia; just a combination of shapes reminiscent of the many people we have loved or admired throughout our lives, and that our body image has become a measure of our perception of our physical self, our feelings, our positively and our desires.
I've come to the conclusion that all vessels embody the beauty of the individuals they carry; because everybody is both body and soul.

So here I go again
If you walk
A mile in my shoes
You may feel it as an adventure
If you walk next 10 miles
You may feel something new
And if you walk for a whole week
About 30 miles or more
You will know
The enjoyable way to take steps
And If you walk for a whole month
You will know the core of life
All that one needs
I walk most often
To get myself recharged
Just what I need
Right at that moment
That's me
That's my shoes
And still
An extra mile ahead

Air guitar, mellow, loose breezy shadows on the rock
outside my window, where life,
barely modified by my
observation
preserves
the old learning in each living thing,
seen through my window?

Third of five
A gemini
When she flies we soar
Her noise can floor
Echoed in our ears
Remembering laughter brought
A powerful injection of positive vibes that elevates temporary state
The scales etched from one to ten
A bell of Tibet
She cares to share so extra
Between be relatively unseen
Conceded when she dips
her time is needed
Worthy as a sister of mercy

Is there time in our life to have
To have that extra
That extra something
That extra something that makes us smile
That smile that creates a happier self
A self that gladly spreads the happiness along
Along to others
Others that without that smile
Without that smile, they would be
Well, they would be frowning
Who wants to be frowning when everyone else is smiling...
Just saying

A misplaced comma,
an misused apostrophe;
what some call extra skin,
not fat, but a flap.
The military calls it a redundancy,
although some find it repugnant.
A synonym for excess,
a form of alienation; disgust.

It would be doubtful and indecent
Drive pigeons along the boulevards of the capital.
Much nicer on weekends.
To drive along the boulevards of Moscow business.
Even more noble and relevant
Chasing parrots in the living room and bedroom.
And it will be much quieter
Don't croak a hoarse crow.
Quite non-self-critical
Consider yourself a rare bird.
Bring it back, please.,
In Estonia a white stork.

The thing about life
is that you feel a lot of things
but most of all
you feel like an extra in the movie of your life.

my heart does not work in the way that i'd like.
ask me if i am able to love myself,
and the answer will be "no"
even though i know that i should say "yes"
because i am blessed with the life i do have,
though it may at times hurt like cracked, bleeding anything
all just in need of repair.
i have nothing to fix it anymore...
i've used up everything,
and my heart beats abnormally;
beating for those who don't deserve it,
for those who've hurt it-
i still somehow find it racing,
jumping out of my chest just yearning for some other heart,
one that is more stable, and constant.
one that is not held together by thin weaves of thread,
and rusted staples that can't stay clasped shut for much longer.
no,
my heart does not work in the way that i'd like.
it is broken.
it is beaten.
and it is stupid,
but i am still capable of love,
and it may go to the wrong people,
but better wrong than none at all.

Politope, politope
Tell me your name
Because I need a quick way
To get off of this plane
I've got that mid-night
Fist fight
Thrill of the flight
With a chest tight feeling
That something's not right
But when I've got that extra power
All will remember my name
It's strange
How we are all the same in this respect
We have been kidding ourselves
For our entire life
It is we who must change
So to better ourselves
For the sake of human kind
I wish the news would show
The things that should happen
But it don't
Instead it shows
The things that shouldn't
To make sure we don't grow
A pair of politopes
Politope
Tell me your name
Because I need quick way
To get off of this plane
I've got that mid-night
Fist fight
Thrill of the flight
With a chest tight feeling
That something's not right
But when I've got that extra power
All will remember my name
When you've got that extra power
It will soon let you down
When you figure out
Beyond all doubt
That all things come back to one place
Where no-one remembers your name
We have been kidding ourselves
For our entire life
It is we who must change
So to better ourselves
For the sake of human kind

Slab Of Flab Protrudes From Ab
twas an incremental subtle expansion of waist
most likely aside effects of one
or all prescription medication
to stave off severe melancholy,
social anxiety, panic attack, et cetera
whereby most everything thy tongue did taste
immediately delivered a randy paunch
to former washboard
smooth as a fresh application of gesso like paste
readying canvass
for partially naked self-portrait masterpiece
depicting naked body laced
with flat as a washboard physique
unlike present dis graced
whereat when sending a photograph
of shirtless self-try with futility
utilizing photoshop to get erased
displeasing equatorial zone of anatomy
saddled with unwanted
fatty tissue that defaced
proportionate rock hard stomach
with a slender man
about five foot and ten-inch build
evincing an aura of being chaste
gone forever analogous to temptation
gobbling house constructed
of cake and confectionery
that nearly did likewise to Hansel and Gretel
readying their not quite plump enough bodies
tubby slathered with baste
yet just in the nick of time
the two abandoned children aced
the sinister plot outwitting
cannibalistic cackling croaking old woman
inducing to break out into song singing
Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda rat tat tat
Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda rat tat tat
A doray-oh, A doray-boomday-oh
A doray-boomday ret set set
Ah say pah say oh.

Words are the hands of thoughts;
Fingertips flow
Where she clenches her eyes
Sinking teeth
In lower lip
Prison bars to sighs
Anchored to liberty
Looming like a storm
in the distance

Trapped inside a human body,
A rose with extra thorns,
A victim of a world that didn't care that she was born.
Rebirth served her well,
Now her spirit is not as torn.
Strength grew like weeds under the armor she'd worn.
