"advances" poems
As technology advances What are our chances To live in an apocalyptic place made out of waste We will scavenge and hunt for our bread and butter Most of us will try find shelter, whilst others in the gutter Does it have to be like this? Tell me if you had one wish What will you choose when mother nature needs us As she is the one who's ever going to feed us

Apocalyptic waste
All you have to offer me is broken English but what you get in return is a broken heart! "Hi cute pic u me friend?" you ping me randomly; I am sorry dude,my picture didn't respond! Not just you,but all the guys from your clan have a typical dressing style that I can note from your photos. A smug face,bright colored clothes,unkempt hair; cigarette burnt lips and alcohol shot eyes! Don't judge me, I am just sharing my observation but I appreciate your perseverance of sending multiple messages! "Hey u","Reply and expect* me","Don't put scene^","Fraandship#??","Change new pic" and all I could think of is "Not happening bro!!" Wondering why I wrote this ode to you?! You are a hero man! An unsung hero in your own world! When science and technology advances,when countries and continents fight and make up all you can think of is this random girl who is ignoring you!Talk about goal-oriented!! You have a dumpy old computer with an internet connection and a Facebook account and you want to have girls who you don't even know;You are more ambitious than Shakespeare's Brutus! You get irritated looks from all the girls you stalk, Yet you are unaffected as you never get to know that!! I envy your spirit, I envy your hard-work!! Burning the midnight oil to get ignored by girls you don't even know! Though you stalk this much, in reality you are shy to even talk! You are a mystery, a dark knight I might say!! Whatever anyone says, I know you wont give up!! You are a big challenge for all those privacy setting developers, you creep and crawl through the web so much and still you always remain -A random stalker!!

**It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to say no to someone you love. It’s okay to say no to a friend. It’s okay to say no to a parent or child. It’s okay to say no to a job or relationship. *It’s okay to say no to ****** advances. And it’s okay to say no to a person who’s romantically interested in you. Even if it hurts someone’s feelings, even if you disappoint people, even if you’re judged and ostracized — it’s okay to say no to anything and anyone that causes you pain or makes you uncomfortable. You’re allowed to put yourself first. You’re allowed to set limits and boundaries.* And you deserve to make your happiness and well being a priority. You don’t ever have to settle for something or someone that doesn’t feel right. And you definitely don’t have to compromise yourself for the sake of making other people happy. YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND IF THAT MEANS SAYING NO, IT'S MORE THAN OKAY.** A quote by – Daniell Koepke

It's okay to say no...
The Red Ants At His Picnic Her pillow eyes gleamed at his advances, inching along slowly. His anteater likeness, rising, coming to an anthem, frolicking on her picnic, on her mound, hoarse and hungrily. Rendevous antics to form. Wave after wave, the red ants at his picnic, dancing, dancing like there's no tomorrow, seducing him in further. He, so antsy, anticipating. In his genre, happily along, on her trail, like a hunter, taking her welcoming little red colony, to kingdom come. To ******* come, where her castle and moats succumb, relenting, saluting to his anthem. Where soon white clouds a bursting, blue skies emerging. The sublimity and antidote holding on, holding on to her picnic. And the rocket's did red glare, the bombs bursting in air- together, to gather. And there they were ... chaos, abuzz, lyrical then calm. Sustenance drawn on their faces. A slight breeze runs through the grass the red ants at bay. Logan Robertson 4/17/2018

The Red Ants At His Picnic
do you recall the crunch beneath our feet a gesture small as we ambled down the street dirt and gravel I felt pebbles through my shoe I unravelled When I looked at you Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face Sunlight peaked through maple branches in such a tranquil way missed chances to make advances I always hoped you'd stay a fork in the road ahead we went different directions I used many different methods to try and snag your attention Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face you never seemed to notice you just stared ahead heart bloomed as if a lotus while I tugged at a loose thread sometimes I'd begin to speak but choked upon my words so I walked next to you without a peep and together watched the birds Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face it's odd and super subtle the synchronicity insignificant and pointless yet means the world to me quiet walks every afternoon past the garage and dead leaves we watched the starlings courtship do you remember me? Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face

Seek freedom from the anxious mind For, you have the freedom to choose Break the shackles of intimidation Claim your freedom for the sleeping madness Wake up to a world of freedom, for it’s yours Freedom for the prejudices and the dogmas Claim your freedom for the untrusting world Freedom beckons you from the deepest caverns Thwart the advances of violence, and seize freedom Do not pay heed to the abusive words As your freedom to speak up is jeopardized The weakest of hearts and minds, resort to violence And their abode inside is wrecked by loss of freedom You freedom will come when you walk out Opening the gates of your heart to freedom The weak personalities seeks to strangle freedom To dominate the beautiful souls, as they feel threatened Assert your freedom; this is becoming a puppet’s world Always made to act when the strings are pulled There is a world full of love and freedom waiting for you You just have to cross the threshold of the murky world Only you can win your freedom, if you choose to Seek freedom, and slam the door on the world of captivity © Amitav (Radiance)

Freedom
I don’t think you understand, because I don’t, this wasn’t what I planned. So I’m wondering how you can understand, when I don’t. I won’t lose myself loving you, I won’t. You’ve got me feeling too many different things, got me contemplating cutting our tethered strings. Falling in love has me tripping over my own two feet? Maybe. All I know is I’m slipping face first into this tangled mess and now guilt eats at me as I slip from your arms half dressed in the mornings when all I want is to escape, wishing I was Wonder Woman with that red cape. I slip away, but it hurts- but I’ve seen it; my family, we’re cursed. Concerning love, we’ve had no luck I can’t lose you, so I’m labeling us a causal **** I hear you yelling now that you know my reasons, promising our love could survive even the coldest season. But how can he be so sure? Doubts plague me as I slip toward his front door, because love didn’t come with a brochure. I hear you figuring aloud that I don’t love you enough. You come to the conclusion, “if this is how you feel, then I’ll set you free” I got in my car, driving around till the clouds were dark and the clock said three. Your words had been like knives, but then I started thinking about my dad’s four wives. My brain’s all jumbled, it’s like there was one second left, I was on the one yard line, and I fumbled. Is the risk worth it? Could my heart even take the hit? When I got home, in the dark I saw you standing my heart was demanding that I make my way over to you but my brain said these feelings needed to be subdued. I heard you say “I love you too much to set you free” It was then when I looked in your eyes, love was all I could truly see. My scalp tingled in realization, as I floated toward you with some type of natural gravitation. My heart had already taken the risk, without permission and that’s when I mumbled my belated admission; “I love you too and I’ll take my chances,” My brain finally conceded to your romantic advances. But really, truth was, I’d been under an illusion because our love had always been a foregone conclusion.

Good sir, one thing I owe to you: to tell you that I hate thee true. Your sly advances show for real that I am but your body's meal, to be deliciously consumed, and have my sanctity be doomed. Repent, oh Devil, back to Hell! Sink back into your slimy well where from its spout burst tongues of fire to feed your wretched, black desire. And if you do not go today then under Earth and dirt you'll lay. I'll see that you ne'er have a breath until you've met your certain death. You call yourself a pious soul, yet crying's God's name you take me whole. You choke me up in your embrace, and tell me I'll be filled with "grace." Thy love is but a dark snake's skin, which when once shed shows what's within. Thy hands like teeth about to clench. The stink from out your mouth doth stench -just like the rotting fumes of graves and poisoning the prey it craves. Ah, sir, if you are even that. You pull your tricks out of a hat. But I can see the trickery and magic so it's plain to see: you do not love me for myself, you'd use me; put me on a shelf - another token that you've won. But put quite simply, sir, I'm done.

In reply to "To His Coy Mistress"
Skin blushed peach on snow white cheeks Luster and grandeur not seen by the meek Intrinsically dominant furnace of femininity Dither and hither be stricken for insincerity If you try to speak to her expect less then levity To your advances she implies depravity Blatantly ignorant vacuous blond ***** Tell me again how I hate you and want ***

feminist extremists or did you even know the equal rights movement was never ratified?
Up and lead the dance of Fate! Lift the song that mortals hate! Tell what rights are ours on earth, Over all of human birth. Swift of foot to avenge are we! He whose hands are clean and pure, Naught our wrath to dread hath he; Calm his cloudless days endure. But the man that seeks to hide Like him (1), his gore-bedewèd hands, Witnesses to them that died, The blood avengers at his side, The Furies' troop forever stands. O'er our victim come begin! Come, the incantation sing, Frantic all and maddening, To the heart a brand of fire, The Furies' hymn, That which claims the senses dim, Tuneless to the gentle lyre, Withering the soul within. The pride of all of human birth, All glorious in the eye of day, Dishonored slowly melts away, Trod down and trampled to the earth, Whene'er our dark-stoled troop advances, Whene'er our feet lead on the dismal dances. For light our footsteps are, And perfect is our might, Awful remembrances of guilt and crime, Implacable to mortal prayer, Far from the gods, unhonored, and heaven's light, We hold our voiceless dwellings dread, All unapproached by living or by dead. What mortal feels not awe, Nor trembles at our name, Hearing our fate-appointed power sublime, Fixed by the eternal law. For old our office, and our fame, Might never yet of its due honors fail, Though 'neath the earth our realm in unsunned regions pale.

Song Of The Furies
You were my perfect poem Brief but of many lessons Our life was the perfect paradox For love I thought we could rhyme You hated all I ever loved,I loved all you hated You said dirt was clean and the sun was cold You desired tears for years And resisted all advances of happiness All you hated I had to forsake For our love was at stake But like a toddler you had fun with my feelings Leaving our blindest love in darkness reeling Yet my greatest victory was losing you My severest pain was my sweetest gain You schooled me through experience My all-time worst teacher You were my perfect poem Eternity would be short to describe the undescribable For when my hand is strong to hold the pen Then my heart is weak to pen the words

my perfect poem
We are evenly matched Or so I thought So I let down my guard Thinking I'm alright. But I placed my bishop Diagonal three spaces Perfect position to put you in check Realizing that I've made a mistake You move your knight Two spaces forward, one to the right Halting my advances Leaving only my queen To defend the pride of her king I defend from your every move Until you capture her. Leaving my king exposed And defenseless You marvel at it but Are quick to place her with the others you have Captured and controlled My king scurries Space by space Anxious to avoid The inevitable capture I am exhausted Avoidance of you is utterly impossible So I give in I tip over my king in total surrender How quick you are to ****** it into your hands You revel in your victory Clinging to my king My last piece My last hope But how quick you are to discard it How quickly you let it tumble down onto the pile But I forgot.. To you This is just a game of chess

To be a gentleman in a Chatroom, One must always introduce themselves as a number. As an age. To inform the fine maidens of the Chatroom that, 'Yes! I am legal.' So that way they feel obliged to tell you: 'Why, I am too!' You must also accompany such a number with your gender. Just so that they won't get confused, And know that you are a masculine manly man of manliness. It is of the Gentleman's Etiquette to note your existence afterwards. A simple 'Here' would suit. Or spice it up with a 'You?' Afterwards. Make sure you always ask how your possible future **** partner is feeling, it's only polite. If they say 'I'm feeling wonderful, how about you?' or 'My day's been ghastly. How about yours?' - No matter what the answer, make sure to reply with a steady: 'Nothing much', or if you're feeling impatient, 'nm' Just to show that no, you don't really care and want to get straight into business. - Which shows that you are a man with a clear goal in mind, and as we all know, women adore men with confidence! The next step is the bargain. You need to sell yourself to the feline with flair, Ferocity, Wit, style, charisma. 'Wanna fuck?' And if they reject your courteous advances, all you can do is tip your hat and carry on to the next lady in waiting.

Banana, Banana, Banana How you tease from up high I love your yellowness The taste from the heavens Up high I've tried to climb, I've tried to swing, Each time I end up on the ground My face does greet first Not my feet. But you evade my advances How you do tease me You were a flower You blossomed Then you became The yellow nectar, That which I want to eat, You taste so good When going down All I wish is for a banana A single one will do We were meant to be Banana & Monkey like Squirrels  & nuts Paired since the start of time I start to give up, We weren't meant to be I kick the your base in anger The vibrations shake And with in a moment A monkey Buried in yellow, From my Head To my Feet Monkey and banana together Like we were always meant to be.

Monkey And Banana
Kisses don't last forever, lipstick scars on my collared shirt; sweet perfumes sinking into my neck. Searching for a rush, there's a rush out there looking for me. Let me play my tongue on you; just like I love to play with my words. Lust of rush; my eye on a crush, She's a crushing feeling; as when my cheek bones hurt every time I blush. Plush; so richly filled and lush. Could I love you as a must; But a piece of you is far too much. Do you... Indulge in all of those senses; As my sense of appeal is to be the one who stole your heart. I'm much made of steel; heavy weighed inside of my pants. But why be quick in our advances; let's have a little romance. Pick out our cards at every chance. I'll play your King, with just few plays with my hands. A squeeze; you feel the weakness on your knees, each time I wrap around your neck. And proceed into those long kisses that steal your breath. Bite you down like an enemy; be tender to all of those marks like a friend. But I'd soon forget, of which of us gets naked first; before pulling the covers of the bed. I'm sitting on the edge; grinning at a striptease doing in my head. I can't pretend, that my skins aren't hair raising; lips craving, body shaking, and I'm embracing the embrace of me driving my destination inside of your place. But these are the thoughts on the road: of what's about to come. I'm still on the way.

Sensual Verse (On the way)
On his mighty mountain Jove reigned with his queen Never questioned Never held in check Such riches never seen! With mount Olympus as his home Far above the throng He could do just as he pleased No, he was never wrong! Then a fair nymph maiden Caught Jove's roving eye Hera was out shopping He saw the maid go by... Making his advances He found that he was spurned! No matter how he postured Her head was never turned! "Oh Jupiter!" She laughed aloud "You bloated moon, you knave! I'd rather love a he-goat For all the gifts you gave! You have no tact. No honor. You plurocratic fool! You pick your teeth with Poor men's bones Using wealth as tool! Go on then! Arrest me! Force me... if you dare... But I know Hera's servants The one's who do her hair!" Jupiter was stymied He knew just what this meant. Hera'd throw a fit for sure! So he had to relent. But he cursed the nymph-maid With great poverty. But dissing him was such a joy She'd do the same for FREE! (C) SoulSurvivor

The day the ships came my ancestors we not of the aware of the forced melting *** that would come into existence The combination of french and spanish confused the delta slaves Little did they know that neither language would stick on their burnt excuses of tongues The days the ships came New Orleans became the beacon of mulatos And although the conquistadors could **** and beat their slave wives Their spanish advances were not reciprocated due to lack of of heat to complete the melting The languages that conquered the delta were combined into something that no outsider would want to encounter That’s why the Americans came and took it like they did the rest of the country They mistake the magic for voodoo then rebranded it for themselves Centuries later the delta is still a melting *** But it’s one my grandmother’s tongue was forced to forget Her languages were lost next to her mulatto slave ancestors, left to spoil So now when people ask “If you’re hispanic why can’t you speak spanish?” I can barely find the words in english to explain the years of torture my tongue has endured When spanish speaking couples walk into my work My tongue is eager to spill words it wishes it had the ability to create My blood begins to hate itself over the fact that a third of itself is unrecognizable My tongue is still waiting for the new boats to arrive and reconcer it All it knows is to be conquered No self defense here When all you know is to be conquered It becomes a challenge to think for oneself My tongue can’t decide if english, spanish or french is better My creole mind is yelling thousands foreign curse words not knowing which one is a true sin Maybe the sin here is letting the burner stay on too long The day the ships came My slave ancestors looked at their spanish lovers and said “My love, what shall we do once the french arrive?” With their eyes looking into the horizon the conquistadors replied “Es no problema para mi, pero tu, tu es la propiedad de estos” Which according to simple history books means “Good luck”

He penned Little Lovenotes To the girl With the Braided hair Shiny nose ring A black rose tattoo On her ankle A damaged soul With half cresent smiles Crookedly woven smiles Who always rejected His advances Maybe because of Trust and daddy issues That haunted Her dark heart and colorful mind. © @roguelover in mirakee

I have been conditioned To submit To sacrifice To shut up and take it. From the very first advances That were a little too aggressive To the subtle denying of my wishes When I said stop and you said “shhh…” When I said no and you said “why not?” When I said I can’t and you said “please” When I put my hand up and you pushed it away When you thought it was romantic To push my limits When you thought coercion was normal And submission was expected. When I stopped questioning Why your needs were more important than mine. When your mouth said “I respect you” But your hands said you didn’t. When your sudden coldness Sent chills down my spine When your charming side disappeared And your true self mystified me. When I thought coercion was normal. When I started to feel like nothing. When my body was used But not satisfied Touched But not felt. When your laugh in the dark Made me feel like a victim In a horror movie Up until I finally decided That you are the beginning and end Of my objectification.

my objectification
Strange nights, starry eyes a little something to keep me going no I don't lack in surprise or modesty and yet if honesty was a commodity I'd surely be rich and living it up or dead in a ditch for never giving it up and you just don't quit pry away the drink from my hands and take a sip never seen anyone bite anything the way that you bite on your lip I don't know what you're looking for but you won't find it in me a compliment, a shred of decency a night of thrills and secrecy a shoulder to cry on or just something to ride on no, you won't find it in me Got no money, no worries don't sell drugs never felt the need not a pick me up or shake you down nothing changes when I'm around no I don't want you and you don't want me Living life like a grazed knee the pain is always there it stings something always has to rub up on me so if another stained garment is what you want to be then, darling pick away at my layers I can never seem to heal but I go on like nothing hurts me and it could be worse you could be just another verse in my poetry and the night isn't over yet but you've just about heard enough I bet I don't know what you're looking for but you won't find it in me a friend for the night, a happy ending a story to tell your girls, a heart for mending someone to rely on or just something to ride on no, you won't find it in me Got no money, no worries don't sell drugs never felt the need not a pick me up or shake you down nothing changes when I'm around no I don't want you and you don't want me Still relentless in your advances but I can't take any chances I'm susceptible to heartbreak why do you think I'm sat here drinking alone? unlike you I haven't looked down at a phone I've no one to call, I've nowhere to be if you're wanting a simpleton that's not me I'm not offering late night comfort calls I don't even own a settee are you my therapist now? too many questions are detrimental to trust and I think you've just about heard enough I don't know what you're looking for but you won't find it in me won't pick you up, won't shake you down won't show you a good time and stick around I'm not your wings to fly on or just something to ride on no, you won't find it in me

Strange nights, starry eyes a little something to keep me going no I don't lack in surprise or modesty and yet if honesty was a commodity I'd surely be rich and living it up or dead in a ditch for never giving it up and you just don't quit pry away the drink from my hands and take a sip never seen anyone bite anything the way that you bite on your lip I don't know what you're looking for but you won't find it in me a compliment, a shred of decency a night of thrills and secrecy a shoulder to cry on or just something to ride on no, you won't find it in me Got no money, no worries don't sell drugs never felt the need not a pick me up or shake you down nothing changes when I'm around no I don't want you and you don't want me Living life like a grazed knee the pain is always there it stings something always has to rub up on me so if another stained garment is what you want to be then, darling pick away at my layers I can never seem to heal but I go on like nothing hurts me and it could be worse you could be just another verse in my poetry and the night isn't over yet but you've just about heard enough I bet I don't know what you're looking for but you won't find it in me a friend for the night, a happy ending a story to tell your girls, a heart for mending someone to rely on or just something to ride on no, you won't find it in me Got no money, no worries don't sell drugs never felt the need not a pick me up or shake you down nothing changes when I'm around no I don't want you and you don't want me Still relentless in your advances but I can't take any chances I'm susceptible to heartbreak why do you think I'm sat here drinking alone? unlike you I haven't looked down at a phone I've no one to call, I've nowhere to be if you're wanting a simpleton that's not me I'm not offering late night comfort calls I don't even own a settee are you my therapist now? too many questions are detrimental to trust and I think you've just about heard enough I don't know what you're looking for but you won't find it in me won't pick you up, won't shake you down won't show you a good time and stick around I'm not your wings to fly on or just something to ride on no, you won't find it in me

*In the forest stood tall admirable pine trees, As we walked hand in hand with ease, Upon a blanket of snowy and frozen grounds, Hearing voices and beautiful sounds. While the cold winds softly echoed through the night, Bringing harmonious whispers, as we glared into the moonlight, And the trees were beautifully dressed in white, on this Christmas Eve, With clusters of long evergreen needle leaves. The breeze murmured through the branches, Gently waving making advances, Saying "please take me home," "I am stuck in the cold" in a low tone.         Near lied an adorable reindeer, Whispering words we barely could hear, When we walked closer, it fearfully ran, As fast as it can. Joined by a polar bear, Who sadly said "I am scared," And we quickly selected our tree, Though it was quite difficult to see. When we walked away and glanced behind, The adorable creatures, followed appearing quite divine, With laughter and smiles, Softly saying "we hope to see you again," and their eyes looked as radiant as a child.*

The Trees Were Beautifully Dressed In White
~ late winter’s dusting, on tarnished ores; a dreamer’s seeds, these rails once bore. rain-washed colors, on sun-warped steel; their conjured hopes, an age once real; oxidized by rust and time blackened timbers, no longer bind; what still remains are worn out ties, a distant memory, of centuries gone by, now mere after-sighs. structures standing, but just by chance... a gust may blow them down; these buildings where men’s dreams once danced, now a ghost, this town. though no soul is left inside, still a body here resides. so long ago her carried goods, these rails rode, to distant homes, built dreams of wood; like dandelion wishes, scattered... gone, tracks going nowhere, now a fading ode, just another dusty song. for advancing progress never fails to leave someone's dying dream behind. ~ *post script. Oregon’s hills and back country hide these relics of a time when a nation’s spirit was fed by the sounds of industry, steel and steam, the whir of saws, and men calling, “timber”... long before the age of wood and rail were left in a saw-dusty bin of history by the sweeping hand of time.  i could easily be persuaded that this change was for the best, yet this can't erase the longing sense, left beneath my breast... advances do not come without leaving something or someone behind.*
