"Patience" (Diamante)
SURRENDER YOUR HEART REMOVE THE GUARDS AND RELINQUISH THEIR SHIELDS. YOU NEED TO FEEL THIS THOROUGHLY LOVE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SAFE OR MEASURED SO, LOVE IRRATIONALLY. JUMP OFF A CLIFF WITHOUT CONSIDERING CONSEQUENCES, LOVE SPECIFICALLY. PAY ATTENTION ON THE SMALLER DETAILS OF THE BIGGER PICTURE, LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE DAYS WHEN YOU DON’T LIKE HER, BUT THE LOVE MUST REMAIN AND IN THE EVENT THAT LOVE BREAKS YOU, LET IT BREAK. DO NOT CLOSE YOURSELF OFF OR SHUT YOURSELF DOWN. YOUR HEART WILL BE SHAPED AND RESHAPED, BUT IN THE END IT WILL STILL BE YOURS. AS HUMAN WE ARE BLESSED WITH THE SKILL OF ADAPTATION IT’S KEPT US HERE FOR EONS, YOU WILL ADAPT.

IF YOU DECIDE TO LOVE SOMEONE
kindness eats least of all we defeat our enemies cheaply steep the leaves in hot water gently keep enemies close to you and weapons even closer our friends are like sunbeams I jump in the water your sun-burned back is peeling out loud you remind me not to bend down too quickly she hounds me with her questions lessons on arithmetic I’m so sick of it histrionics and sonic lectures his tricks are onto it moronic manic accidents red lions with long necks deflect authority and wager on credit the outcomes are certain all will fade away indefinitely understand this and measure your life by breaths and not complexity densities are hiding in visionary lightning finding new faculties every moment we are swift in our limitless capacity for adaptation a refulgent emulsion immersed in water and poetry under the highest authority or just higher scrutiny wrapped in a paranoid blanket of heightened security all is being watched right now as judges redefine your beauty if you are truly interested in finding happiness you must understand that all magic is abraxas and satisfaction unceasingly attacks this as we collapse upon the backs of ecstatic languages....

I am gone. Adrift thru cold dead air, Lost in the horizon. There's no comfort, No means of adaptation. Only this void. this loveless space. Out here I am forgetting you — Slowly, As my oxygen depletes.

A short direction To avoid dejection, By variations In occupations, And prolongation Of relaxation, And combinations Of recreations, And disputation On the state of the nation In adaptation To your station, By invitations To friends and relations, By evitation Of amputation, By permutation In conversation, And deep reflection You'll avoid dejection. Learn well your grammar, And never stammer, Write well and neatly, And sing most sweetly, Be enterprising, Love early rising, Go walk of six miles, Have ready quick smiles, With lightsome laughter, Soft flowing after. Drink tea, not coffee; Never eat toffy. Eat bread with butter. Once more, don't stutter. Don't waste your money, Abstain from honey. Shut doors behind you, (Don't slam them, mind you.) Drink beer, not porter. Don't enter the water Till to swim you are able. Sit close to the table. Take care of a candle. Shut a door by the handle, Don't push with your shoulder Until you are older. Lose not a button. Refuse cold mutton. Starve your canaries. Believe in fairies. If you are able, Don't have a stable With any mangers. Be rude to strangers. Moral: Behave.

Rules and Regulations
My ****** is tired. Tired of having to explain why she wants to be left alone, Tired of men thinking they are entitled to her simply because they buy her things, Tired of women who shame and police her, Tired of being commodified, My ****** is just...tired. My ****** does not owe anyone *** She will take up arms to protect her agency and have it recognised, She will let whomever she chooses inside her, She will most certainly not explain her decisions to a soul, My ****** does not owe anyone *** My ****** will not alter herself for a man's pleasure. She defines beauty and serves other worldly aesthetics, She is a queen who possesses the ability to make you see God with her warmth, My ****** will not alter herself for a man's pleasure.

A ****** Monologue Adaptation
lost in this world created on a screen, I can't even see things that really matter to me, I miss the rawness of your voice, the pen to the paper, now we have an abundance of choice. I can type without looking, I can manage five tabs while ordering food, --whats cooking? everything is so instant. we are the impatient, the damaged, and the distant. adaptation creates us to be dynamic, but I can't seem to not panic. you are high and dry, but you're glorified. you keep staring at your phone I am just begging to know why

This is one of those serious poems And yet it has nothing new to say But the poet needs to keep himself busy And writing seems to be the easiest way The poet rises up on his soapbox Because he works better from an elevated height He screams about organized religion, politics And stripping away of our basic human rights Like a magician with a classic misdirection The poet wraps his moralizing in purple prose He hits you over the head with one simple point That he’s forgotten more than you’ll ever know Around the time of the nineteenth obscure reference The reader is in awe of his far-reaching knowledge Then the poet overuses polysyllabic words Just to prove he went to a good college And the poet keeps filling up the notebooks Even though he should have stopped long ago But the publisher agreed to pay by the word So unfortunately, there’s four more stanzas to go Quickly, the release date approaches There’s one printing, then two, then three And the poem becomes a hit in coffee shops Recited by grad students in between bites of biscotti His face now graces the cover of every magazine In an explosion of exuberant media admiration Dozens of talk show appearances are scheduled For the newly crowned “voice of our generation” The publisher decorates the dust jacket with blurbs Complimenting the book’s “dangerously original rhymes” But it’s nothing more than passing hyperbole Gathered from a glowing review in The New York Times Now thousands grasp the paperback edition And eagerly await the feature film adaptation Meanwhile, the poet hunches over his typewriter And commits more sententious literary ************

#***" Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." - Albert Camus***                  ~              ~               ~     The telegraph road circled through the foothills, rising towards the majestic mountain high It’s been a long and twisting passage soon forgotten, with the pavement abruptly dead ending,   just below the timberline The dawning blue heavens look so much closer now Just a step away from standing within reach                                   The birds uplifted on the telegraph wire rest atop me; perched on the final material traces disregarded by a digital world My awakening soul is ascending beyond the distant alpine meadow horizon   At the threshold of an untrodden wilderness wonderland, climbing up above the meandering clouds It’s exhilarating to look back and know there is no turning back around; I’ve never been higher and can never get back down What unknown frontier lies in wait before me now? Just on the other side of the impossible dream? The last step forward to find the next step beyond the bounds There is not that much that changes, when we just repeat the same old song The atmosphere’s thin air leaves me gasping for wings Like dust and ashes free to soar with the tempest breeze If only time would sever these loathsome ties that bind The ones that enchain the weight of this load unto me While understanding the pace to a long journey’s rhythm The only barometer you have to trust is in your heart Adaptation is at the core of freedom's survival But it feels almost like running away   I have felt the fear of falling with nothing left to lose I’ve climbed as far as flesh and bones can reach I've come this far always feeling subtly afraid It has been a great distance back from the beginning; knowing I must take these last steps alone. Understanding it was love that brought me here Naturally tugs at the spirit in my soul encouraging me on I'll keep searching for the shining light of guidance Listening for a voice that softly beckons me home... written by:    harlon rivers ...

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as Nickelodeon network's highest rated show, and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. The media franchise has generated $8 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. Many of the ideas for the series originated in an unpublished, educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which Hillenburg created in the mid-1980s. He began developing SpongeBob SquarePants into a television series in 1996 upon the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life, and turned to Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on that series, to voice the titular character. SpongeBob was originally to be named SpongeBoy, and the series was to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, but these were changed, as the name was already trademarked. The series was previewed on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 1, 1999, following the television airing of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards, and officially premiered on July 17, 1999. It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity by its second season. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, a feature-length film adaptation, was released in theaters on November 19, 2004, and a sequel is currently in production, with a projected release date of February 13, 2015. On July 21, 2012, the series was renewed and aired its ninth season, beginning with the episode "Extreme Spots".[2][3] Despite its widespread popularity, the series has been involved in several public controversies, including one centered around speculation over SpongeBob SquarePants' intended ****** orientation. The series has been nominated for a variety of different awards, including 17 Annie Awards (with six wins), 17 Golden Reel Awards (with eight wins), 15 Emmy Awards (with one win), 13 Kids' Choice Awards (with 12 wins), and four BAFTA Children's Awards (with two wins). In 2011, a newly described species of mushroom, Spongiforma squarepantsii, was named after the cartoon's title character.

In seventh grade I watched my friend bleed out Holding what was left of his leg, he whispered, "This isn't good." They say that the human body contains eight pints of blood I counted nine. When you were born, no one knew. No one knew how intense the galaxy inside of you was. How each star would illuminate your eyes, and how you would illuminate mine. In tenth grade, my dad didn't talk to me for three months. I didn't know who I was for three months. My light became darkness as his love became emptiness. Father, love me the way I love you. I pretend not to, please be the same way as me. Your heart grew faster than my hands, brother. I hope someone loves you more than I. For I am what you are, everything without and within, forever and without the night. Mother, do you feel what I feel? Do you see what I see? Am I what you imagined, more or less? Do my words matter? Does my heartbeat pound alone? Do you love me? You are what illuminates my eyes, Queen Anne's Lace. With or without, from your eyes to mine, silence with noise, electricity moves throughout yet I am calm. You are what I know, and all that should be known is that you deserve to be happy. In twelfth grade my father tried to stab me. If he was successful, it wouldn't have been the first time one of his actions got past the surface level. It's not your fault, burning rainbow on the water. Adaptation without reclamation I find you in my translation as hurt yet elation. Mother. My kaleidoscope, so soon, mirroring colors and shape. Am I looking at myself? I don't care if you don't comprehend, the words I say or how I end. And if you don't understand the words that pass, your eyes, like your heart, are transparent glass. Taste throughout, with blood mixed in, the way I beat has always been to know, to show, to allow what I see now to be seen, may I know what I let go is what I'll always mean. Thunderbolts from your mouth, good luck to me because I am shocked. There is no lock. There is no lock. There is no lock. I live throughout different years, with evolving eyes without resolving fears. I've been afraid. I've been lost. Kaleidoscope. No longer, no more.   My heart is an open door. Blood stained pants. Hands without. With every word, every shout.

Why attempt to claim the moral high ground When your pathetic argument holds no sway Why march to war with the rebel bound In the uncommon disposition of yesterday Why hold pretentious personality When acceptance is based on adaptation A pyramid scheme brings fatality To your pseudo-martyr nation Unwarranted non cooperation With the voices of the future Speak without brainwashed sedation And unravel your poisoned sutures Your self proclaimed image of authority Is unwanted within the confines of freedom You back a mentality of all encompassing conformities When the generation of today can't see them Your hubris lacks the willingness to act Yet you call yourself Ole-Times-Hardened And the simple depressing fact Is that your ignorance cannot be pardoned Leave while you hold a handful of passion Before it is lost in the folds of time Because dignity with age is not everlasting You are but another one track mind Whether or not you care to move forward The world turns on an invisible axis There is always a new world order And living life requires emotional taxes So be willing to express and voice opinions wholly But like many lost souls before you say Wander unknown territories carefully Because the past is lost with today

Genreration Insurrection
Inadequate to the task Humbled by the enormity of our love, The perfection of our joining, Where are the words kept that sufficient Honor and portray what we have achieved? You seated, beside me by the bay, finally, Two old adirondack trees side by side, By the sheltered place you bequeathed me, Where poems are raindrops, so numerous, And you, if not the subject, the source. The waves rolling in, mirror the Fluidity of thy dancing, Fluidity of the adaptation, Two lives, now one bay blue colored, The merging, the unification, Many waves, but one bay, The Bay of Us. Yet so different. We are cloud worshippers, Does not the Skye's Tableau inconstancy, Mirror our ever changing form, individuality, Yet, one sky, The Sky of Us. So many times have I lain be-sided Even as we this afternoon sit now a-sided, Tears welling up, above and beyond control, This man's steady nerves, constant on patrol, Our secret open, visible, un-hided, Your are my Magi My Yogi, i.am, your, obedient devotee, shaped to you please. This is the birthday present my words present. Words, unremarkable, Except for the contentment That lies within them. Let me love you more, Recklessly abandon norms, Kiss you at the supermarket, at the opera, Unashamedly, take you in my arms Wherever wonderment and wandering lead us. T'is so very hard to compose When tears flow upon my writing tablet, To wipe, blot them away, I refuse, For tears are joyous emblems, Salty badges of love, All compliments of our complementary beings, The Tears of Us. The soaring music we gather in. The shimmering sparkles upon the bay, My gift of natural diamonds better, this day, Than jeweled glitterati I hide in the refrigerator. All this treasure, part and sparkle of The Treasure of Us. T'is truth, I know not, forgot, your age nor care, The day the time the year, What matter they to me these artifice markers, I weep carelessly, undone, overcome, Every day, but this day, most, united joy. Need-No reminder, I am a survivor, From a concentration camp That slow programmed to destroy, Perhaps the kindness you claim As the hallmark of my fame, An inadvertent gift, from the devil? You shook my hand on our first meet, Don't think, have I ever let go? Let me be your driver, entertainer, your only poet, Let me be whatever you need, Even as now, I laugh-cry, your tissue carrier. For t'is I who weeps and keeps These tissues as part of our history. You are the first, Who has ever read The Words of Us.

This world is beautiful once we realize that time and expectation provide no limitations on the people's adaptation and the mental emancipation within the growing nations of enlightened pro-creations. See, I believe, that when I find my destination - there will be no hesitation - for I have that dedication. I want to spread my thoughts, wander off, take a vacation. For now I'm sitting patient; just posted here, at my station, counting the small money I'm making, constantly wishing and waiting for one marvelous day when someone else hears what I'm saying.                                          11/25                     2013 © (KD)

Conspicuous pomposity
Back when monsters would have disappeared when the blanket was over my head back when time was just a concept where "light" was not all that confident - I had self-discipline I knew what I wanted from this life I had a plan I had an ambition A vanilla ice cream was all I wanted A delicious collapse of sugar and ice melting on my tongue surfing down with the brightest of daydreams hollow senses, all thousand and one of them grasping each lick until I was left with only a smile satisfaction - Long before adaptation Then My mother bought me a watch I sat.. and watched

When I was a child
Confusion, illusion, frustration I'm hurting still.. don't know why We are not meant to be, so let me fly My wings remain under yours, so please close the door How am I suppose to close this book of love If you are still around and our bodies fit like a glove You say it's just physical but it's more to me Skin on skin, lips on lips, entwining and free You don't even want to try But hey I'm not the one who is going to cry I want to Scream, shout erratically, passionately and tell you that you are a fool it's hard...I know you are not for me But I don't want to lose you baby How do we become friends after being lovers? When all I can remember is that summer I don't understand why my inside is pleading for peace I can't seem to be able to cease Fed up and fed up I want to stand up and up It's not about me so let it go and drain the cup!!

Adaptation
It is in those broken moments we find ourselves, Torn to pieces, with no explanation – A dark crevasse molded to fit our shape, Holding our deepest thoughts, encasing our forgotten spirit, We tend to allow ourselves to be encompassed by this abyss – Explaining to ourselves the need to dwell on the darkened past, Swallowed by its projection of memories, Sprayed upon the walls of our mind like murals – An endless catacomb of images, seemingly permanent in their manifestation… It is in those broken moments, that we find ourselves. Seemingly unbearable days, leading to sleepless nights, Dreading the thoughts that creep their way to our dreams – Resting in an endless adaptation of our subconscious, Playing out their roles, as if upon a Shakespearian stage… Each thought, acting its part with tragic precision, Layer upon layer, scene upon scene… Reaching back to grasp our inception of reality – Griping its contents, and strangling the ideas to exhaustion; gasping… It was in those broken moments, that we found ourselves, With a weighted world pressed firmly upon our chest, The ebbing soil began to crumble – Giving light to the somber path traversed… Filling the now hollow crevasse with purpose and meaning, Each memory defined by the silver lining expressed in love – The fleeting darkness, swallowed by the over-whelming feeling of home… Finding it in the simplicity of a kiss, and the certainty of an embrace, It is here that we find ourselves, In the intricate details and delicate idiosyncrasies –

"Eating hares is an adaptation; it provides convenient nourishment and pleasant sensations: why should I not consume you?" You have only to look, he said, into my wide-eyed, whiskered face to see the adaptation that would make you human.

The Hawk to the Hare
In this modern world of seldom proper and overused punctuation the smallest of them all seems to leave the biggest connotation the dot, or period, as some would say under the proper observation has given text-ers and type-ers of this technology driven generation and easy way to send a message in a short-hand communication One dot can signify the end of the certain conversation and three dots can lead one to believe that there will be continuation Five dots can relay the writer's growing frustration as he believes the recipient might not've read his brief annotation and with growing anger at the recepients subtle procrastination he can send the word 'hello...' as a sign of quizzical agitation Three dots can be used to signal a reader to use insinuation as in 'They went into the bedroom and then...(use your imagination) Professionals use the multiple dots when invoking exaggeration by skipping parts in a speech to warp the innocent quotation such as 'The senator voted against the new... school legislation' We know that dots after every letter are a definite implication that the word is an acronym, and there's one for every situation such as O.H. P.O.O. means Overly Happy People Offer Osculations Yes, the period can be used so freely, with such adaptation depending on the context, it can symbolize a sigh of exasperation It is a punctuation so versatile, it has almost no limitation and more than one of its forms can be found in every publication I don't hesitate, as you can see, to submit this postulation flexibility will always be in the period's reputation...

Hey kid, I woke up buzzing, here In the future ruins of ancient America.  Staring, after the imperial sunrise, Listening to Los Angeles on repeat. Insistent and purple, only  Sediment left in the Bottles of night.  This third-world way Causes Third World War So I'm drinking at a  Tavern on the End. The bus goes by, and "Baseball's the worst sport." Alliteration, allusion, Colors, characters, And metaphors. Sobriety sending me  Searching for smoke.  Rehash, re-up, and "read the ****** thing." My world-view, Out-maneuvering your Upbringing. (The memories I have are white and yellow. Fogged, not angry, if even confused. You'd call me, after finishing your nightly readings, to cry about the characters you'd loved, and castigate my inability to care. Remember when you used "undermined" to describe the adaptation? You meant that it was "assuming too much.") "Brenda and Eddie," over here, "Couldn't go back to the greasers" so they Wound up at your family's tavern.  "You look like the fat kid, On whom the popular girl was  Forced to settle." Dear Man, Woman's found you out. Or  Are we, justly, doomed to be  More juvenile? Worn sole, soul-open, "so long, Kid, I don't know you, but, I can't help myself from Destroying you." (My upbringing: out-maneuvering Your world-view.) "You've always been the caretaker, Flagstaff." The bait's in your brain.  You've simply been  Overlooking the barkeep. (Dear Diary, could I just die already? The Price is Life, and purgatory's a game show. Anger, the color of your mother. Skin, the shade of yard-work. Staring at road maps of Virginia, stoic. Trying to divine the diners we'd die in.)
