Wala ni nako gisuwat para mubalik ka Para makahibaw ka nga sakit gihapon Ug basin makahunahuna kan'g sa imung kaluoy Mubalik ka nako. Nagsuwat ko kay mao ni ako. Magsuwat sa kung unsa'y Ganahan, Kinahanglan nakong ipagawas Isuwat ug nagdahum ug naglaum Nga sa paghuman ani Mahuman nasad tanang kasakit Kay sa pagkakarun sakit gihapon Sakit kaayu Sakit nga dili matangtang Abi kog ako'y mupilit sama sa bubble gum Sa imung sapatos. Apan kasakit. Kasakit ang nipilit pagkahuman Sa atung paglakaw, Sa pila ka buwan nga Kauban ta. Kasabut ko Wala'y kita, Dili kita, Dili pwede, Dili na, Dili man gyud. Pero salamat Sa paghatag ug higayon Sa pagpahibaw sa pagpabati Sa kita, sa kita ug sa mga plano Sa mga adlaw nga puno sa kalipay Sa mga kanta, Sa mga sulat, Sa paglaum nga pag-abut sa ugma Naa pa, Kita. Sa pagbati nga wa'y sama Ug bisan pa'g nahuman na tanan Naa pa gihapon ko Nagpabilin nga nituo Sa kita, sa kung unsa ta Sa usa'g usa. Wala ni nako gisuwat sa pagbasul Sa kalagot, aligutgot Bisag akong kasingkasing karun nadugmok Abi ko'g ang kasakit ang pinakasakit Apan kalipay. Kung mangutana ka asa ang pinakasakit Sa tanan, sa katung kita pa Katung nitawag ka ug wala ta'y laing gibuhat Kundi magpulipuli ug sugid sa atung gugma Sa usa'g usa. Sakit. Sakit kaayu. Sakit nga wala'y sama. Wala ko kahibaw asa taman Hangtud kanus-a ko magpuyo aning kasakit Pero wala ko nagbasul Ug kung mangutana ka kung Pabalikon ko atung mga higayona Kung musugot ba ko'ng sa maka-usa pa, Mubalik ko sa adlaw nga naka-ila tika Ug wala ko'y usbon Padayung tikan'g tan-awn, maghulat Padayun kon'g magpaabut nga imu kong lingi-un Ug sa maka-usa pa, Isugid sa imu tanan'g akong nasugid na.

Kasakit sa Kalipay
Wala ni nako gisuwat para mubalik ka Para makahibaw ka nga sakit gihapon Ug basin makahunahuna kan'g sa imung kaluoy Mubalik ka nako. Nagsuwat ko kay mao ni ako. Magsuwat sa kung unsa'y Ganahan, Kinahanglan nakong ipagawas Isuwat ug nagdahum ug naglaum Nga sa paghuman ani Mahuman nasad tanang kasakit Kay sa pagkakarun sakit gihapon Sakit kaayu Sakit nga dili matangtang Abi kog ako'y mupilit sama sa bubble gum Sa imung sapatos.

Unsa’y ikatambal sa kasing-kasing nga nasamdam? Unsa’y pwede ikapugong anin’g mga luha nga wa’y undang sa pag-agas? Unsa’y akong buhatun para mawala nin’g nipilit nga kasakit Sa akon’g dughan nga sa imu ra gihapon nipitik? Ana sila mawala ra daw ni Ana ka “this is for the better” Ana ko, “asa ang better?”, “kanus-a pa?” Kung sa paglabay sa mga adlaw, sakit gihapon Sama atun’g adlawa nga ako nabiya-an. Unsa’y akon’g buhatun anin’g dughan ikaw gihapon Ginapangita, ginadamgu, ginahuna-huna? Ako nagpabilin sa tunga-tunga Sa pagsangpit nga ako balikan nimu Ug sa pagbiya, paglubong anin’g paghigugma Nga wala na lingi-a. Ug samtang karun nga bisa’g gamay lan’g nga pagtakdol Sa kasing-kasing ug sa mga kagahapon’g panumduman Wala’y lain kan’g madunggan kundili Hagulhol nga daw namatyan Ug sa padayun nga pagpatay anin’g ala-ut nga gugma. Ako padayun nga mamasin Nga pag-abut ugma damlag Mahuman ang kasakit Magsugod ang bag-un’g Kalinaw, kalipay, malipay Akon’g kasing-kasing unta magmaya na sab. Apan karun nagpabilin kon’g mangutana, Unsa’y ikatambal sa kasing-kasing nga nasamdam? Unsa’y akong buhatun para mawala nin’g nipilit nga kasakit Sa akon’g dughan nga sa imu ra gihapon nipitik?

MGA PANGUTANA
Kini kataw-anan kung giunsa nga gipasagdan ang mga butang, Kini nga bililhon nga kinabuhi; tam-is kaayo, halangdon kaayo, Giunsa mawala ang matag segundo, Bisan pa ang tanan nga adunay gyud kanato mao ang oras. Unya unsa man kung kalit nga nawala kini? Unsa man kung mohunong ang pagsubang sa adlaw? Komosta kung nahurot na ang imong oras? Mahulog ba ang usa ka luha gikan sa hingpit nga mga mata? Lisud kini nga hatagan kahusay, Sa tanan nga mga pagbati nga gibabagan namon, Pagsulay ra sa paghunahuna sa uban pa, Padayon nga nagtan-aw sa orasan. Nakakatawa kung giunsa nga gipasagdan ang mga butang, Kini nga bililhon nga kinabuhi, pamilya ug mga higala, Bisan kung makita mo sila adlaw-adlaw, Unsa ang mahinabo sa pag-abut naton sa katapusan? Talagsaon ang mga tawo nga nahimamat, Ug kung unsa ang ilang reaksyon sa balita, Ang uban nangalagiw, bisan ang uban magpabilin, Ang uban magsaulog, o makuha ang mga blues. Apan ang matag usa magbag-o sa imong kinabuhi, Ug ang labing kaayo magpabilin sa imong tapad, Hatagan ka mga gakos, magpadayon nga okupado ka, Kana ang mga tinuod. Nakakatawa kung giunsa nga gipasagdan ang mga butang, Kini nga bililhon nga kinabuhi, dili sigurado, Sa yano, kini ang damgo sa matag usa, Aron adunay usa ka butang nga luwas ug luwas. Aron mahimamat ang Usa, mabuang ang gugma, Minyo ug magsugod usa ka pamilya, Tingali dili kini ingon ka daghan, Apan kana nga damgo hinungdanon kanako. Kini usa ka damgo nga kanunay nakong gitinguha, Usa nga nahadlok ako nga tingali dili makakita kahayag, Kay wala kini gisaad sa bisan kinsa sa aton, Bisan, alang kanako, husto ang pamati niini. Dili ako sigurado kung unsa na kadugay ako nga nahabilin dinhi sa yuta, Ug kung kini ang katapusan nga higayon nga akong nakuha, Gusto nakong ibilin kini nga timaan, Aron dili ka makalimtan tanan. Kung unsa ang kahulugan sa matag usa kanako, Dili gyud ko makalusot, Kung dili tungod sa kalainan nga nahimo, Sa matag usa sa inyo. Nakakatawa kung giunsa nga gipasagdan ang mga butang, Kini bililhon nga kinabuhi, matam-is kaayo, Halangdon kaayo, Giunsa mawala ang matag segundo, Bisan pa ang tanan nga adunay gyud kanato mao ang oras. Palihug ayaw kalimti ang regalo nga gihatag kanimo, Ang abilidad sa pagkatawa, higugmaon ug mabuhi, Ayaw buhii ang gihigugma nimo, Ipakita sa ila ang tanan nga gugma nga mahimo nimong mahatag. Hinumdomi ako sa umaabot nga mga tuig, Sa diha nga napildi ako sa away ug kinahanglan moadto, Daghang salamat sa mga butang nga imong nahimo, Apan ang oras, nagdumili kini aron mahinay. Kini kataw-anan, kung giunsa ang pagkuha sa mga butang alang sa gihatag, Kini nga bililhon nga kinabuhi, ang mga butang nga imong nakita, Giunsa ang yano nga pagpanaw sa matag segundo, Ug oras; ang oras nawala na alang kanako.

My mother used to tell me that only I could make myself happy; it all starts there. But she's never tasted the bittersweet smoke your lips pour into my lungs. She said "baby girl, you can't build your life around just one person." But never said a word abut finding home in your bed. My father warned me about guys like you... The ones who remind me of him. But he's never seen your eyes glow in moonlight like fire. He told me I love too easily, that my trust is slow to build. But where was he the night you broke your way through my defenses? I tried to be the girl they'd be proud of, except only you make me come undone. And I can't remember what worry looks like on my mother's face anymore. And I haven't caught a whiff of my father's cologne in years. So maybe they don't have me all figured out, yet maybe neither do you.

Genetics
I have made my transition to another place, a place where beauty needs no explination. God’s great timing is everything; it may not be what we expect but God is always in control. Sands will flow through the hourglass, slow and steady, throughout our lives. Time will end and the sand will stop flowing, but God’s love for us is forever growing. I have worked all my life for this to happen, to see my Lord face to face. I’ve been accepted in this majestic place, where pain no longer has a hold on me. My eyes have adjusted t my new reality, I can see bright skies and butterflies. Don’t worry about not seeing my face, don’t worry abut not feeling my embrace. Hold our memories inside your heart, and know that our live will never depart. Cry for me, just for a while, but not too long, ‘cause I’m don’t just fine. My bags are unpacked and I am settling in, taking my place next to the Master. He said that he’d never leave nor forsake me, He kept his promise, I am with him now. He has taken my hand and opened up the doors; to a Paradise of beauty and love divine. I know you’ll miss me, I’ll miss you too! Just know dear hearts, we will be together again someday. Live your life to the fullest, and remember our love each and every day. Just remember your hourglass is still flowing strong. Do what you can so you can see, my hourglass is full again, this time my sand will never end!

Hardly Hidden *for Helen, the High Definition brunette momma among us* there are tracks in your arm ready visible to all those with a personal microscope if one optically examines the empty spaces tween your poem-words.... the exterior all smiles, whooping it up, children, all smiles, tumbling, breaking things, ceilings collapsing, winters arriving, as is the way of the kids and nature, inexorable, occasionally breaking you to smile too Abut to all this is the contentiousness, the aboriginal sense of loss for what once was, plain out in in the secret messages sent and you know you own my all unuttered utter devotion we need no qualification of what we are we are friends, not drinking buddies, the straight out semi-secret fans of each other thousands of miles apart of simple purity borne, you warm me with endless jokes and familial tales and I thank you for sharing, for trusting, me with that troubling notion that I am missing a sorrowful deepening that is after a wellness examination hardly hidden but t'is heard around the world, gunshot to my heart, come to me when ever is understood that this paean ~ pain ~ poem is a simple wayfarer's way of declaring forever I know you are sleeping now, but when  the fall sun breaks, here is hoping me that you break into private tears in private places like the ones decorating me, celebrating the best of what humans can be

Carefree days No worries, it's high school days Always skipping class Facebook status: smash or pass I don't know much abut biology It's alright, though 'cause in 5 years it won't affect me But, I can tell you about rolling this half Dime by the dozen, that's when I know math Wake up and fall back asleep Show up late look the best because I'm not cheap Friday night party and I just might go Leave out at 1 AM, trying not to get caught But then again you never know Make a couple friends Let them know the new me Creating memories to last until the world ends High school days, get to know me

High School Days
Gipukaw ko sa akong damgo Morag langgam nga ilo sa salag nga gigubâ sa bagyo. Ning-syagit ko ug ngalan nimo Ning-abut na ka abi nakò Dinhi sa tapad ko Akong gitan-aw, wa may tawo Ang habol pilô gihapon, bugnaw maski gaksun nakò Uli na langga, mingaw na kaayo. PANAGINIP (Tagalog translation) Nagulantang ako ng aking panaginip Parang isang ibong ulila sa pugad na sinira ng bagyo Isinigaw ko ang pangalan mo Dumating ka na akala ko Dito sa tabi ko Tiningnan ko, wala namang tao Ang kumot tiklop pa rin, malamig kahit yakapin ko Uwi ka na mahal, Sobrang lungkot na dito. DREAM (English translation) In a flash, awakened by a dream, saddened like a bird orphaned in a nest the storm had downed Your name I called out loud you have returned, I thought here by my side, I sought to feel and I looked, at once but there was naught the blanket still neatly folded and, even as I hugged it, cold as dead Come home now my dear It’s become so lonely here.

from a wonderful night she came alive oh my country obscured in her gloomy might her love seemed so right the feign of her tattered story she bears the burden of Africa the reign of her battered glory her body abut and juxtaposed Madagascar I wish that I fly away from my path I might not stray from the start I was taught to pray my dreams to soar in beautiful array as the nation saddles in its own barrage lamentations of 56 years' blink I see on eagle's wings what victory brings the joy of 36 shining gold rings too bright to look at naming and counting one for each and when twilight was reach in plenteous joy and happiness to the people my heart outreach compensation for years lived in wood and ash

hope of twilight
it's abut 9pm and I decide I don't want to be alone there was a car crash earlier that day up west towards Salida-- some Kansas man who was killed by a driver trying to pass in the right lane, declared deceased on scene, another man from Monument who was air-lifted to St. Thomas Moore, no critical injuries. I tend to ask God for these big signs, signs that I'll recognize. I tell him that they need to be something I'll notice because you know me, sometimes I can't hear you. Anyway, signs, crashes. A Kansas man died.  It's 9pm and I pull on some jeans and leave the house. I'm supposed to be at a rodeo dancing, but maybe I wasn't supposed to be there after all. I have this white dress in my closet that you can't even see, tucked between everything else because it's so thin, lays flat beneath the aztec smocks and cream cardigans. I take it out and brush it off, thread my fingers through the open lace-- 10pm. When I breathe soft enough the stars look like they're hanging on strings, like I could reach up and snap them off, they'd be no bigger than dew drops on a spider web so light they'd drift up in the night breeze and set up in my own natural atmosphere. What good would it have done me to be there? I only ask myself to assuage the warm fear i've been feeling since Friday night, a lingering umbrage I did not think would stay-- I can see the white stitches in my jeans that look like they're glowing, smells like rain out here. I wish I was out at Chaffey for a quick moment, enveloping someone else in this chanel perfume makin' someone else envious of the way another man got to spin me out-- I'm trying to be all these people at once, an   audience of crowd pleasers piled into one body It's so quiet, I'm so quiet up on the sideways knoll in Florence, tired of letting people down easy off the sidewalk curb and being tossed off the bridge over the state highway myself, I can't help it, I want to say aloud. I can't help that I am this way, collected. calm in hearty hysterics, anxious to tell you about how I've been fixed, that warm fear growin' hotter a coal for every man who suggested I be less than who I am by pourin' more into my cup, I'm trying. I'm trying.

Restless Encounter Returned from the graveyard shift I needed a lift Puppy eyes shut Barks abut I couldn't sleep So I counted sheep One, two, three, four There's a knock at the door It's an old cougar That wants to borrow sugar Coast was clear I had no fear Two hours later The gator was catered It's back to sleep Counting sheep Halfway to fourty Lawn mower sounds, oh lordly Two hours later The gator's a hater It's back to sleep Counting sheep Twist and turned twenty five And more unneeded jive Alarm clock set for wrong time Chime, chime, chime Can you believe that The gator spat It's back to sleep Counting sheep I see her in the lea Playing with me Her wool a nice set As my gator's lip wet And this time the wifely returns My insides want to burn, burn, burn My gator sighs As she says hi Hi I weep, weep, weep Please I need some sleep She looks (esoteric) at me With that look of plea, plea, plea She wants her sugar fix, too My gator singing it's blue My eyes want to close But there she blows Chime, chime, chime Wifely having a good time On top of the train track Gators attacked His sheep counting on him To stop the bedlam Logan Robertson 9/6/17

Restless Encounter
Poem a day, day 10 Why can't I write poetry About things that matter to me? Or am I really that shallow that all I care about Is my own feelings of love, passion and loss Or how tired/busy I am. I haven't written a single poem about Feminism, ecology or politics Or even Star Trek or Doctor Who. No Red Dwarf, cats or Cat from Red Dwarf. Heaven knows I've thought about it. I've thought "there's more to my life than that" "There's more to me" "I should write abut such-and-such" And then sit there completely blank. My cat looks at me, sniffing the air "How could you possibly not write about me?" And walks off. His brother lying on the armrest The world revolves around him in a different way. Well be more inspiring boys! Help me out here! Okay can't blame you If even Star Trek and Doctor Who aren't doing it. Plenty of ideas, so few poems

Inkspiration
We follow some stupid rules and still not enough. What does it really take? We do what it needs to be done and still lose. It doesn't matter, do your part or not the outcome is still the same. Saint or not still lose… Even when the storm calms there it is, another tempest. How much can our wooden ship withstand? Sometimes i think it's better to let go and let the stream lure me to the sea's bottom. Relief... But if someone get's used to struggle, just moving through the motions eventually won't give up won't succumb. Let the tide ride up and you get drowned. Ride the tide and let it guide you. Lower your ship and reach your destination. There are times the road back to the port goes through the heart of the storm. Unclench your fingers from the wheel and then wish the sea is with your side. If your hands hold tight to the wheel, it's a lost cause. Maybe destination it's not the place you direct but the place you abut. Like a key which unlocks what is most hidden...

My skiff through the tide
Warning, take care Hazardous to the health, Caution, be careful Take care of yourself. No one warned me abut you I circled around you for months No one told me to keep my distance, Told me to run, run, run But I see it now, oh, I understand I should have known you were dangerous. I realize now that I've dug this hole myself **And I ******* adore it.** "Caution," label for that voice I can't remember what I said. Overexposure, could've ran But you always get into my head. "Hazardous Materials," for the the words you say I'm tripping into walls when I remember Under my skin, in my head You send me reeling, the world's a blur. "Warning," for your smile It keeps me up at night When I've turned off every light But you're still so ******* bright. "Careful," for your laugh My face aches from smiling so often It's contagious, your happiness, Warmer than the ******* sun. Where's the warning label on you? Because I'm worried for my health. I thought I was safer than anyone But good god, you make me melt.

Warning Labels
Someday you’ll wake up next to her and you will feel the same way you woke up alone, Someday you will stand in the front of the ocean with hands folded and knees trembling, Someday your skin’ll be marred with fingernails of a face that you can’t see. Someday a rebellious gypsy will refuse to abandon your silence and you’ll be homeless forever. Some nights the wild silhouettes of her will dance on your ceilings and all over your face. Some nights you will see lights flickering and your heart speaking gibberish. One day all the venom will wash away Your skin left all scarlet, One day all her hounds would runaway Your sanity abut the forest ruins.

The gashes on his skin.
Internally, something in your head bangs, is this suppose to be your brain? You're lungs contract with every exhale, your heart? sticked so many times back together again it's filled with molecules of needle holes, when you take your first breath the two compartments of your heart are suppose to abut, but what if it doesn't?

She loves me I love her Man, how my stomach stirs when she says words and when she looks in my direction Let's just say there's blurs I'm not really sure how we ended up here there were fights on the way but hey, I've forgotten them now how can she be so... wow just wow I could talk abut her hair I could talk about her smile I could talk about her.. for quite the while i would probably crawl a mile in a pile of crushed viles Just to hear her say I love you and I know she does from the things she does because throughout the however many months Everything I wanted she was Pause. she just looked this way and I forgot what I was going to say. but anyways I hope she stays so together we can number our days in a number of ways And I can do my favorite thing listen to her say I love you.

Hush little child Don't you fear Mommy is fine It's just a tear I feel the guilt I feel the sorrow If only I had someones strength to borrow To fight for you To fight for me But mainly for you I'd take it again is I could have you forever But his fists took you his feet took you And he borrowed the strength of 10 men while i had the strength of 1 The odds were against me But I fought anyways Mommy is okay She just misses you Mommy dreams of you every night and wishes for you when she wakes up Wishes you could grow up on the smell of blooming grapefruit like she did Mommy loves you No matter what Mommy will fall sometimes She will cry and she will wake up crying for you But you don't have to worry because mommy knows your walking street of gold and buildings made of stars. Mommy will break down some times But don't you worry mommy is fine Mommy will light candles for you on your birthday Candles that smell like vanilla and coconut Sweet smells will fill the air for you For mommy's sweet little angel Mommy will hold your memory close Mommy will think abut those blue eyes and blonde hair Mommy will remember the softness of your cheek against her lips Mommy will hurt But mommy hurts because she loves you Mommy is thankful to have met you Mommy will tell the world of your existence and she will never let your name leave her thoughts Mommy will love you forever and ever Even if she didn't get forever with you Mommy will forever love you Cherish you And remember you in the most beautiful ways Mommy will dream of you Mommy will never let you go Because I'm your mommy And mommy loves you

Heart to Entice
It's you, who encourage me? It's you, who guides me to be the best I know how to be? It's you. Your words are inspiring. Your life is thrilling from your rise down to your fall. Except, greatness you can't keep down. It's you that stands out before others. From mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. It's you the motivation source. We might never be able to walk upon water. Or raise up the dead. But many things are done for a reason and many seasons. Some show kindness more than others. And many does it just for show. But your heart felt sincerity is real. We can feel it. We can read abut it. More than anything, we can even show it. We are love. We are the designated child of God. Who anointed you to represent him upon earth? You are him. In you, we see him. Love isn't ever wasted, when it's giving. It's you, who advise us of ways to get to heaven?
