Transmission of light guides, for physics ...
“Transparent materials allow light to pass through, so you can see clearly through them. Translucent materials allow some light to pass through, but scatter it, so you can't see clearly on the other side. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through at all; they block it completely. “
~~~~~~
It is 10:41pm,
Translucent
this word,
fluidly formidable,
willing and able to be modifiable,
adjective, adverb, noun and verb
without asking, certainly uninvited,
but alone, left to my devices,
this word,
incites, invades, taking possession of my
thunderous internals, racing and racking and moving about in great swirling motions,
like the next northbound hurricane,
refusing my entreaties for a reprieve of desperate needed sleep
this word,
speaks to me tonight, informing that you will be deposing,
your mind searched and-researched.
*[it will not be necessary, it states,
for him to write in the modes of his betters,
with their exquisitely spiritualized words combinations,
to which he swears, pledges, utter total admiration]*
That beyond my ken, my immaterial wealth,
for you know you own capabilities,
and though your light of self-knowing is
the light you follow,
it too, naturally
translucent,
behaving like a guardian of the mysterious of your body
so to the
matter at heart,
the hand on chest,
eavesdropping
the light of transparency,
the light rejected by opaqueness,
neither even or nor
a perfect clarity, absolute invisibility
has no interest to me,
but the light filtered, scattered, information carrying,
needing re~fining,
is the quiet revolution swooning all senses we
experience
and these filters, all modifiers,
reveal, sieve & **** barrier hide,
undress, and dress,
re-addressing,
playing on the nuances of life,
this interests me
for they manipulate me,
but I,
manipulate their tempo, refract ‘em,
make them change direction,
when light enters at an angle,
looking for a free release, a new path,
probing the guardrails, bouncing from
prism to prison to prism
mining the mind,
looking for oxygenated veins
carrying infectious contradictions,
seeking solutions, understanding the noise pollutions,
diverting past them
**{here he surrenders to a nightly brain washing,
recollecting to recommencing at 4:23am}**
he believes, with perfect faith,
these bands of light within,
bring him to his creative knees,
forming dissolving imagery,
that he desperately wishes to hold onto,
but light translucently is a slippery slithery thing,
always running from his grasp, leaving him
racing behind in a follow~on path,
always one turn behind,
never once has he been quite
fully fleet and agile,
accelerating from 0 to 75 mph,
in a handful of seconds, firsts,
unable to hold it firmly,
not once in his life,
a follower he,
perpetually 39 steps behind,
coming to a complete stop,
upon realizing that its
your words, not his
that inspires his core to keep on trying,
flying, falling, flailing and failing,
he is never fully overcome,
a schoolchild, dusting off his knees,
learning by the piercing testimonies of yours
and all the great predecessors ones, who too,
understood the multilingual mellifluousness
of the inability to be satisfied,
this then the best description
of this twisting, never fully retrievable
mix of
translucent winds of light
that are forever excavating
him from the inside out,
and thanks to all his poetic forbearers,
from the outside in
this the longest light of a satisfying closure of an
if
a genuine thanking~~giving note
unto him well received,
and now regifted
as a translucent twin-beams of light,
from his head
emanating,
now on their way
to you,
for useful, thoughtful
inspection
and moving to you for
acceptance, re-dressing,
and your understanding,
that there in no
"immovable object"
that can resist the
"unstoppable force”
of our translucency light
from forever
ceasing its bouncing transference
passage
to a new destination,
and on and on and forth

the freedom of
not being chosen
frees up your Fridays,
your DMs, your
thoughts.
all of a sudden you
have all this time
to spend with yourself,
the cat, your friends,
even with strangers.
your evenings, once
filled by longing and
the dreadful ritual
of distracting yourself
with anything at hand
to avoid the unbearable
waiting. for a text. for a
sign.
breadcrumbs beggar
amateur
female
.hopeless romantic
25.
single.
self-respect – work in progress.
I tell myself I don’t
need the validation
from a guy who learned
emotional literacy
from Pokémon Go,
a guy who spends the little
time he has for
himself arguing with
strangers on FB or
posting on insta like its his job..
he makes me laugh.
but he also leaves
me baffled, confused,
he has me analyzing
and “decoding” every word,
touch, action.
he acts as an incomplete
puzzle.
all nonchalant
and breezy.
but little
does he know, I lose
interest in puzzles
rather quickly.

FRIENDSHIP:
All in the same ship or
All in the same boat.
Friends do their best
To understand things
Shared by friends.
FRIENDSHIP TO SOME:
The interests of a politician
An agenda manipulating
Your position.
FRIENDSHIP TO ME:
It is not a dictatorship
It does not grab the wheel
It always makes you feel
You are in control.
Friendship does not focus
On fates remains
It cloaks your fears and
Shares the blame.
Friendship is not a forfeit
It closes ears and eyes
To those that accuse and
Deny though on a certain
Level it always remembers
Because its failsafe can
Never forget.
DEEPER FRIENDSHIP:
And then there is a
Deeper purer friendship
Based upon unconditional
Love and mutual respect
Which catapults it
Into a whole new
Dimension of caring and
Nurturing
Which
Transcends simply caring
For its own and glorifying
Its bones in a well-kept
Grave of the status quo
But grows into an
Uncanny respect and
Caring for others
Beyond cliquish and
Familial bonds.
FRIENDSHIP'S BASIS:
Often made of the
Imperfect
Of things that may
Seem
To contradict.
It often overlaps
Most relationships.
And though it may not
Seem to be a monolith
We must sometimes stand
Alone on plains unknown.

I am known to have several hobbies,
as I also have significant prowess in each.
Because in anything that I do
and whatever I want to try,
I always do it naturally and good
just like a bird taking flight.
When it comes to new interests,
I am simply the best student.
I learn and plan carefully with method
and execute flawlessly with madness.
Calling and pulling down rain like a God,
I water my passions like lilies in the garden.
When it comes to new knowledge,
I am a servant yet the queen of this village.
A newcomer gangster who rules the streets,
I am feared in every turn and corner.
Yet an overqualified maiden on the sheets,
I am tenderly adored and kissed better.
When learning about new languages,
I dedicate it only for the arts and letters.
Speak foreign words like it's teenage love,
I've sworn this is only on paper, not my lips.
Sing fluently like my head with heels above,
I swallow my pride and swing my hips.
When talking about arbitraries and goals,
I am never not in the know from the get-go.
I am an angel who sets and builds the stage,
when I show up, nobody feels the breeze.
Yet I am the devil that gambles and trades,
in my refusal everybody finds their release.

I noticed that all I talked about
is just myself being lost,
and not about an individual
who is found.
ye skies extended up and above
Clouds, forests, and roses
with its thorns peeking out
Mist of feelings swirling
like a roundabout;
Was I the one who chose to enter,
knowing that there is no way out?
Inside this maze, that leaves me to doubt

a dusty room
filled with sorrow
old interests now hallow
boxes all piled up
silent as an old tomb
the abandoned backroom
once golden shining rings
you can see the grimy buildup
on the items you tried to cover up
in the corner sits a broken violin
for the music that once flew on wings
that old case is full of wood and strings

I remember loving things. I remember loving the dance of leaves and their shadows. I remember loving an artist’s singing. I remember listening to the harmonies for the first time. The double voiced thing that danced with the drums and the guitars. Dancing. I remember loving dancing.

There’s something interesting to notice
When one shares their poems
Out there
For one and all to see
There are certain patterns
Certain people
That read certain poetry
When I write short, sweet, to the point
Two lines
Or three
Certain people flock
When I write long
With depth, almost like a story
Others stalk
Then when I let out my inner cynic,
Try something new
Rant out my views
I get a whole nother crowd all together
Comprising sometimes, those from the former two as well
Some go for depressing,
Trying to find someone who matches
Their own soulful nature
Others would rather settle
For some lighthearted fun
And still yet more
Would choose something else
And I wonder how do you choose
How do you pick amongst the multitudes?
Do you even care?
Or is it what’s right in front of your eyes?
Perhaps it’s based on what you like to write?
What you’d like to do?
What you’d like to be?
Who you’d like to be?
Is there even an answer key?
Is there ever?

One would opt for Scooby Doo and Agatha Christy
The other for cheesy romance Asian dramas and light novels
One would rather be building the sets
The other, on the stage
One cares nothing at all for other’s thoughts
The other cares too much
One wants to be a police woman
The other simply cannot choose
It shouldn’t be possible
Yet it is
And perhaps, it is their extreme differences that bring them together
That keeps them from clashing
Or,
Maybe something in their respective personalities finds solace in the other
Whatever the case
They are best friends

The first one
A bully
Keeping me on a leash
Under threat of abandonment
The second one left
Moved to another state
Robbing me even
Of the opportunity to be chosen
To cut his goodbye cake
The third one was too girly
Weak willed, too easily embarrassed and self conscious
One who’d rather
Be the star of a pretend fashion show
Than attempt dangerous and
Exciting escapades
In the playground
The fourth were a pair
But new schools
Different interest
New friends
New workloads
Made it difficult to keep up
And the relationship drifted away
The fifth were once again a pair
But, too caught up in each other
Until a falling out with one
And a lack of opportunities to see the other
And eventual conflict between the two
Shattered that relationship to a fragment of its former self
The sixth was too self obsessed
With too many problems of her own
Sleep deprivation
Prone to sicknesses
Struggling with classes
And a general lack of social awareness
And extreme denseness
And seriousness
Ended that too
And now, I’m on the seventh
We shall see how it goes
Thus far we are two completely different specimens of people
One would opt for Scooby Doo and Agatha Christy
The other for cheesy romance Asian dramas and light novels
One would rather be building the sets
The other, on the stage
One cares nothing at all for other’s thoughts
The other cares too much
One wants to be a police woman
The other simply cannot choose
It shouldn’t be possible
Yet it is
And perhaps, it is our extreme differences that bring us together
That keeps us from clashing
Or,
Maybe something in our respective personalities find solace in the other
Whatever the case
I hope we last

Cool beans.
You shine for me when I am in despair.
I will be your light when you are in darkness.
You are still with me even when I am not there.
I have chosen to invest in your interests.
If you are in need, then count on me,
To do all I can to see you through.
I will always be a man of peace.
Try to shout at me if you want to
And I will remain the same, cool beans.
The swinging sixties are in my dreams.
The hippie in me is looking for love,
So if you are the one I have been thinking of,
Then please give me a free hug.
I will not give up until I make your day
And make your smile;
Have a nice stay,
For the rest of my life,
By being on my side.
If you are, I will always remain,
Only a heartbeat away.

Verbalizing out her interests
attracted opportunities.
She planned to play with every insecurity,
learning, growing and blooming
with every opening.
She just had to take a chance
for the possibility.
Event hough she was dubious and stuttering.
But soon there would be rhythm and fluency
and there she would find unity in
a community.

It's a place where you would rather not be
engaged in a quarrel and unable to agree.
Between two strangers or with one you know
in a display of words disagreement to show.
A sad state of affairs and opposite of harmony
usually about something they did not foresee.
Ending with both parties not seeing eye to eye
and very often it's without a clear reason why.
It could be one taking more and giving back less
to the other who considers the matter in distress.
Or perhaps ignoring to do what should be done
in our duty to one another that incurs a bad run.
If a lack of trust or deception has been at play
there are suspicions that don't easily go away.
'Honesty's the best policy' known and cherished
without this relationships only end up perished.
Especially when there are two interests at stake
one against the other much trouble they'll make.
Keep away from being at loggerheads if you can
as it may end up in a fight with your fellow man.

I met someone today.
They seemed nice.
Swallowing my fears, I approach her.
We talked for hours.
She's nice, as my suspicions confirmed.
Why am I doing this?
Set a date and time.
Meet her there.
She's wearing this dress that is so vibrant, it feels like it extends through time.
My legs feel like gelatin.
I sit down with her.
We continue our conversation as planned, an-
wait
you like
THAT?
Nevermind.
I thought you were cool,
But you like THAT.
And to think I...
THAT?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Forget it.
Forget me.
We're through.

It’s not their level of education
It’s not their level of wealth
It’s not their looks
It’s not the way they dress
It’s not where they come from
It’s not their background
It’s not their interests
It’s not their personality
It’s not their music taste
It’s not you
It’s not me…
It’s simply love.
There is way more to love
Than what we think.
Love is and will always be
The only thing
That will bind two souls together.

It's a kind of blindness,
never been there,
never seen there.
Not through my own eyes,
just in films and stills.
Even here I bring the blinds down
on native town and countryside.
Don't see what changes and what doesn't,
trying too much to cope with the present,
future and imagined virtual fights.
So what do others see? I can't use their eyes.
Can they be my spies? Can they infiltrate?
Can they secure my interests? Or are they
double agents for some other clandestine cause?

War by proxy,
the future of conflict
super powers clashing
on foreign soil
in battles fought by locals
divided into camps
pitted against their own
for differing convictions
not for the lack of reasons;
fuel to the fire added
by their recruiters
propaganda,
subterfuge,
subversion;
no need to worry about ordnance
and military hardware,
ammo and suplies
they will be provided
duly
by the sponsors;
the agenda is
to drown a patch of land in blood,
with an island built from bones
lonely in the middle,
just big enough for a g-man
to set foot upon,
tie the laces of his boot;
an then move on.
But what of all the residue?
Nothing goes to waste
all will be reused
blood to fuel
bones to amunition
surviving souls to generations of hate slaves
If you're elsewhere building an oasis
somewhere peaceful, someplace quiet,
watch your back and keep an eye
on the silent sky
there are birds of steel and wires
with their artificial brains
roaming, cruising, watching,
their senses and their talons
lent to their
puppeteers, mere employees
looking for a chance,
at that multikill promotion
fingers itching at the joystick...
but outside and back at home,
a prison cell of boredom
waits to chew them in slow motion
to the bombed and the bombing,
to the greedy and the mourning,
we don't call this life
hell is real
we're both prey and hunter
madness is contagious and haunting
