#possibilities
sometimes a moment scares more than four horseman charging against your will against your help to this world when you think of what you could've been if you weren't with yourself only some saw this on one side of the coin of the possibilities and took it to the last reality on birds' high blood (birds high fly) mind flows in minds darkness comes even when the lights appears every blind glances must come

high blood
Want muscles to lift– the Klarstein AC box two stories, my goddaughter hanging like a monkey from my arm, my wooden desk, vacuum underneath. Want money for– wasting time studying poetry at McGill, a scandinavian-style apartment in Griffintown, donating 500 a month to CMHA. A homeless woman– I gave her 4 dimes, 71 dollars for a Phillips Bodygroomer 7000, Amazon Prime, one day shipping. Bee book– edited Joana’s new chapter, didn’t drive Patricia home. Good, or maybe bad. I want. I want freedom. Want of kindness. Want of power.

Want of Power
I thought of you today my sisters... And tears filled my eyes, Long, streaming tears that fill up buckets in the lap over the sides and splash onto the tips of my fingers, as I reach to swipe the corners of my eyes, and a salty droplet touches my lips, reminding me of my own fragile mortality. Reminders come in waves, either chilling me to the bone or warming me up like a childishly sweet cup of warm cocoa that would never dare to burn your lips. Moistened eyelashes straighten themselves out and blink away their reminiscences of yesterday's Conversations and heart-rending memories. Blithe spirits sway to and fro, ever hopeful at the possibilities of being called out by name and sending a sparkle of starlight in their direction, easing their journey past the Milky Way and the timeless edges of the universe. Don't pack your bags yet they say… Relinquishing your mortality with grace; whether expected or shockingly sudden, the whys and wherefores of your integumentary shawl are mysteriously hidden, Just out of grasp it seems.

[ Leave, burning your past ]
If no one ever likes it,     can you still call it art? If no one understands,     is it still alright to fall apart? If you've only ever hated,      can you still say that you have heart? And if you really want to help,      when can you actually start?

You ever thought that maybe to be realigned with your person they may need to miss you to appreciate you. You holding on with a death grip, constantly accessible interfering with the process. Trust the process. Whats for you will always be for you.

If It’s Meant
Let your life live let it drift As stars in the night-light In the land of my dreams Like the Sun like the Moon Like everything that could be Let it exist let it become free Like stardust in your hand Scattering yellow sand Flowing down as water I breathe in deeply Gaze into your eyes A falling star and rainbows Like raindrops On branches of trees The blue glows high In the sky The color of the sea Dark but not black Eye to eye as I start To fall for you apart In 2000 pieces of my heart

2000 pieces of my Heart
Disregard anything I say. Write and write Philosophical ideas Opinions, contradictions Fake news and constrictions The river and forest, love and emotion Printing with thought and handling devotion Conquering the pen and the art of life Relatable hatred, melancholy, strife. Yes, the worldly things are all accounted for But what of the things we don’t already know? Have you thought about that? Anything different from the words of our poems Not the unknown but farther past that, Have you thought? Something that contradicts the very laws of the lead from a pencil Or keys on a computer Far behind relatable, or history. Far ahead of imagination Have you thought? No, few minds have gone past the supposed boundaries humanity has set forth for everyone on earth. Try to think of a new color A new smell A new taste, Indifferent from anything you’ve already experienced. Think, think! Or can you not, has your brain failed you? Try again; Think of the sky if it was not Or the sun if it was the sky But green And filled with leaves from the autumn wind If it was not wind Think of not as if it was sure And grasp hold of possibilities If they were tiny pebbles in your hand. Break the barrier, if you dare But I bet you are already making assumptions in your mind “Impossible” “Crazy” “Nope” These walls will only build taller. But break through them, I know you can’t, but try. Try anyway. Or disregard anything I say. Make _new_, whatever it means to you.

[ Take care when you dream ]
I've stopped telling myself there's still a possibility it'll be okay Honestly, Mostly only because I've run out of things to say That and I am tired of lying to myself everyday There must be another way... Either that or I just don't know how to play What do the rules say? ©2024

Cry me a river of joy, she said I knew she meant it, by the silence by the memory of her laughter, how she poked fun how she rubbed me down with giggles of mirth, bellies gyrating with angst and rambunctious passion I knew it It was not the idea of her that scared me, not anymore would I think of women that way What it was that scared me was how I knew we'd say goodbye and I'd be okay for once okay and happy she said goodbye... Happy we didn't shovel moats & forge keeps, establish plans of attack & surrender belabor, humming & hawing, over broken treaties, over civilian casualties the banishment of civil liberties and the proverbial dictatorships of, "I'm not the problem, so, it MUST be you." Reply with, "Yes, it is me." I knew it, "I'm sorry!" Jinx! Not this time. This time, she said goodbye. And so did I. At least, inside. And she meant it, and it was honest. And so was I. A small comfort. First of many... Her goodbye was a kiss that could rival daydreams of memories that are more remixed than the splotches of oil on a painter's palette, and, more dibbled and dabbled, than ten playlists of slow jams, in my arsenal of hopeless stratagems, bearing the desperate subtext of, 'park your rear end where I can't begin to ask honestly.' Because, honestly, if this weren't goodbye, I could only trade this goodbye, for ten thousand "Hello's" whose end and beginning are lost to the tides of status quo, of forget me nots and anniversaries, and picture frames of days where we forgot what 'goodbye' meant, because we learned to speak the truth... And isn't it the truth, that goodbye, was so much sweeter than, I can't stand, how much we fought for a t-shirt that eponymously said, "I cried over spilt milk, and all I got was this t-shirt." because none of us know the name of the game, but we know we hate playing it

The breeze stretches and cools the season along the country road variegated light, leaf-filtered from trees that lean in rivalry for my eager eyes. Their foliaged arms dangle, then drop an amber snowfall all around as if to awaken me to the autumn creep into my bones that click and tick with each tottery step. Earth awakens me to the beauty in this splendorous season of the gliding swaying passage of life in alteration and spiritual invitation to bathe in the slow current of creation along this road and its cool and bright possibilities.

Walking a Treelined Country Road
stifled in this house of mirrors thought my promised love was here my flaws become all too clear critical seeds deposited deep i can see them blossom here rose petals, swollen fruits but no pair in this house of mirrors cracked the case, racked my brain all this data, i need to leave it in this house of mirrors my confidence is decaying my ego grows tired, i lean into yoga realize my ego’s expired, my old life is over my stability is fading in this house of mirrors i saw possibilities in this house of mirrors i saw atrocities in the shadows of ambiguity, i almost lost me balancing beam, shattering dreams warped perception, endless maze biological embrace, removal of societal shame this house of mirrors lives with me today

Belief
What if I fell? What if I fell and never stopped? Could I fall through time Could I exist only within myself? Then what would happen if I did stop? Suspended in midair, Would I find beauty or worthlessness? Would I find life within my reach Right then and there? Or would I see that everything is nothing That I am, yet I am not. Am I trapped inside my skin? Am I trapped in a prosthetic body, A prosthetic society? If I lay on the ground And took a breath Would the world breathe with me? Could I become a piece of nature Could I just simply be? Why do I search for pointless meanings? If I found the answers, would I be happy Or even more alone? Whys and what ifs cloud my head The haze is a gentle push To be more than it is that I am I feel nothing, yet I feel every little thing Why won't I accept? Why do I swim in possibilities That pull me back and forth? Dancing around in numbness Yet emotions sit right next to me Entertaining the idea That this is all that's left

Unanswered Questions
When we look to the future let’s remind ourselves that the sun shines all the time for everyone and in making dreams with possibilities we distill hope and our faith carries us on even if like a candles it flickers we will relight the flame because we know love is the Holy Spirit’s name.

Hope for the future
Blue illuminate Black conceal Minutes tick by Where is fate? All seems so unreal In the seconds that fly Strange, dim light Unsure of the battles to fight The foes to be hidden and sly Or confident and outright Slip away into sleep Or rise to face the early dawn? Fall back into the sweet, Ever forgiving escape Or stand and take on what lies ahead The outstretched hand that can make Any number of possibilities From merely that to, instead, realities To glimpse upon that which may lie ahead, Or to fall into the tangles of the mind? To venture forth into that which may become known, Or to remain entranced in the confines of familiarity? The answer, the choice to be made Lies in every dawn. - Jay M February 23rd, 2021

To Rise Or To Remain
Hope is to ignite a spark within, remind us of things forgotten; of lessons yet to be learned; of love lost and found in places unforeseen; of the wonder within each of us; of who we were, are, and will become; of the universal rhythm of life that beats within all of us and of possibilities that reside in an endless tomorrow.

Hope
anything is possible. i don't mean this in a good way. will you look at me while i'm talking? not like that. i know you are. i want you to see me. i want you to keep up. i could go completely ******* crazy. i could never speak to any of my friends ever again. i could join a fundamentalist christian cult. i could drop out of college. i could look into the mirror and see my own eyes reflected back to me, or gouge them out to be free of the burden. i could do anything, but it's all a matter of actualization. you have to know what you're looking for before you go out to find it. the story the eyes try to sell you is always leaving something out. you want this to be easy. you want the mirror to have a purpose. don't we all? you want to know what you want, but we are all stumbling blindly through this desert. alone despite being inches from one another. i'll try not to get too cocky, because the only difference between you and me is concept, language; life is a whole other beast to cage. don't get too hung up on definitions. definitions are for law. this is poetry. this is me building a mirror just to break it. it's funny, how that always turns out. realized desires are boring. we get what we want and we break it. every mirror shatters in the end and we all die a solipsist, wanting and narcissistic.

"Things are becoming good", What beautiful lines erupt from the wisdom, Oh! not from me, From one who had pree, Pree myriad possibilities, Unheralded life proffered serenity.
