"affairs" poems
You are like the rarest of metals, found on Mars. Bright green and deep purple Like the most beautiful stars. The boring affairs on planet Earth, Left far behind. Always moving our perception, changing our states of mind. Like all lovers, we pretend the galaxy moves around us. I'm Homerus and you be my Venus. Loving you makes inspiration easy, Maybe thats why i had to write something cheesy.

Something cheesy (stupid)
When the boy said. "I love you" I nearly wept the tears which have been filling since the last one left, Unsure of my feelings I turn away and look to the ground, Searching, For something, To distract myself, I see the garbage, with the used wrappers from our affairs, Wondering, maybe that's why, Because why would a boy love me for any other reason but my body? Because I have been taught to beware those three words, For those are the words which are spoken when he wants more, More than your touch, Or cress, But your lips, His, on you hips, For when the boy said "I love you" I was confused and concerned, Because why would he, Could he, Love someone like me.

When The Boy Said "I Love You"
I have crushes because I am unable to commit. I can pick up affairs and when I'm tired, I quit. I have crushes because I am an obessessive romancer. I am infected with lust which always spread like cancer. I have crushes because I have yet to fall in love yet lucky enough to have my heart broke into two. I could never love you wholly this is why I 'crush' on you.

Silently I cry hoping no one hears Secretly caring for another in love's affairs Experiencing love's worst of weapons Heartbreak ominously beckons Silently tears fall as I lie alone On the bathroom floor unbeknown For there are no more words, no more lies Only a silent tear that never dries Silently I cry with images of his face Dimpled cheeks, his kiss and warm embrace Hopelessness ensues for the way he held me tight Remembering he's with her tonight I lay in bed at night beside the one I'm bound Holding my breath as tears compound Feeling the love I once gave and then knew All the while he's with someone new Silently shedding tears as my life takes its toll Killing my very essence, my mind, body and soul Hearing the words, feeling the crippling pain A lover's secret inevitably ends in vain

My Silent Tears
Being your slave, what should I do but tend Upon the hours and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend, Nor services to do, till you require. Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour, Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, Nor think the bitterness of absence sour When you have bid your servant once adieu. Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, But, like a sad slave, stay and think of naught Save where you are, how happy you make those. So true a fool is love that in your will, Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

Sonnet 057: Being Your Slave, What Should I Do But Tend
You weren’t worth the Hundred dollars it cost to Keep you in my car.  Princess got poached by the League of Losers with Pedestrian Ideals. I’d spit venom in your direction, if  Poison meant anything to you. But Akin to most things, so sub-human, You miss the world moving around your Ever pulsating veins, and repel these Toxins with a slip of the tongue. Around you I could line Bodies of those you’d loved and left. Each clasping hands with one another, Privy to a specific type of pain, only you can Deal out. And In the center of the circle you’d Stare, stunned by your state of Affairs, and flings. Collectively concerned For the safety of your Rotting consciousness. One by one, I could set these men On fire, and hand you a place  Where your head could be danced off. Drunken and diving heart-first into The burning lake of a  Surfable crowd. Since that’s All we are, serfs. I hope the fire gets too close to your Gorgeous face. I hope the Love you receive is no more likable Than a few more licks from the flames. The scars couldn’t sideline you. No one can stop ****

Singed ****
Never noticed me Under her pink dye And thick thighs. Never noticed me In others eyes, In others lies. Didn’t notice me Sinking in And taking name. A kiss on the neck And I’m to blame. Didn’t notice me Notice her, The other one With darker fur. I feel like a kid again, The butterflies In my stomach And on my face Give way to Nails on my neck And choke That I can taste. I drink to Blue eyes And costly affairs. The timid blonde That broke silence Now laughs at me With a stare. “Smile,” she says.

Single Mother
#*It is not the nature of things or people to satisfy us but rather to awaken in us the desire to be satisfied. When we seek our hearts' pleasures in temporal affairs our joy easily fades for only delight in the Eternal cannot be tarnished, broken, stolen or lost. If we fail to learn the secrets of uncovering joy in loss then we risk being driven to despair or bitterness or insanity in this world which is so full of sorrow. For all of this Earth’s wonder and beauty and blessings it's only meant to serve as a great cosmic magnet pulling us to our Source. One true glimpse of Him would cause us to never cast another glance at any created thing and think it might satisfy. Lord Jesus, give us eyes to see that You Yourself and You alone are the bread and water which our souls so desperately crave. Teach us to hungrily partake from Your own hand, O God. May every scent and song, every shadow and sorrow only call us closer to You.*#

The Only Satisfying Source
I am Christian. I believe in the Trinity of the Holy God, The Son, and The Spirit, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of mankind I own more than three Bibles I teach Sunday School every week and I pray every night. I am Christian, And as such I Hate queer.... Phobia. I can not stand intolerance And I cry at hatred, Blood running in the streets, Fear running in veins, Running away from the truth. I am Christian, yet There are bloodstains in my Bible And the prayers on my lips Are for forgiveness for who I am. The entire story of ***** is Crossed out, blacked out angrily In the dead of night In all 4 versions, Leviticus is blurred, Wrinkled with my tears, Soaked with my pain. I am Christian And I am not homophobic. I know my church won't recognize Non cis-het marriages, Leaving entire worlds of rainbows in the dark The higher-ups insist Weddings are white, shiny, husband-and-wife, happily-ever-after affairs That shove me and my friends, my family, my lovers, Into closets of heavenly wrath and Fire and brimstone sermons, Locked into personal hells of shame And confusion. I am Christian And I am not straight. My God doesn't hate me for who I love, He loves me because I try not to hate. So to the homophobic Christians, I ask: Who is your God? Who is your God that supposedly condemns people He has created in his own image? Your rainbow picket signs are nothing but a cruel mockery of a covenant Not truly shared by you. Your tongues are no better than the viper's who called Adam and Eve to sin, You are the vipers of my world. Do you think you avoid judgement When trans teens are killed By the bullets you spit with your words? Who is your God, That tells you to picket the funerals Of those you hate? Who is your God, That refuses to let you open your heart to differentness? I am Christian, And I don't need your permission to Love my God. Take my scars and tear-stained Bibles, Listen to my fervent prayers, Watch my lips tremble when I listen to my pastor. I don't need your permission To love who I want, In fact I don't want it. Take my midnight screaming and fear of coming out, Listen to my frantic pleading for a hand to hold, Watch my eyes linger on her chest. I am Christian. My God doesn't hate me for who I love, He hates you who refuse to love While you carry His name, if Not his blessing. So I ask again Who is your God? Because mine loves all of me, All 5'6" of queer pride. Who is your God?

¤¤¤ I've had dreams by day That brought the nightmares back. In the daylights exposure it was dark   When the negative light was bright. In the sea of people I was the floating remains Of a Great White's meal.  On the lonely roads of thought My mind was in gridlock. Comforting memories were suspended Over a psychic black hole By jagged and rusted Medieval-type surgical tools. My remaining senses Were nailed to a cross-section Of psychically atrophied grey matter Along neural pathways Guarded by gladiator-type tormentors. Left with nothing But the stinging desire to be freed From a curse that had to be cured And the hell of searching for a cure When I was convinced there wasn’t one. The powers that be come with force To quell primal lusts & desires Forbidding you of them As they seductively Dangle them before your eyes    Until you are so frustrated and unfulfilled That you no longer Care for your world.   This cracked glass remains empty Even though it is constantly being filled Then spilled or leaked on the floor Until you learn to lap it up Like the lapdog that you have become For their amusement. You remain with a love for freedom   But your cage is so large  That you think you are free Lost in societal fantasy. You think for a while That these fantasies are real    Until you come to your senses that aren’t As you join other fools In comfort that you're not the only Broken-back pack-mule.  But in spite of it all And in the face of them all Don't let these birds of prey                                                           And powers that be Deprive you of what they cannot see In that hidden corner Of what is still untouched-- The real you Uninfected by the world.   Take care of your spiritual affairs. Don't let the global beast And your primal hissing forces Make you be your own pallbearer.

My house is buried in the deepest recess of the forest Every year, ivy vines grow longer than the year before. Undisturbed by the affairs of the world I live at ease, Woodmen’s singing rarely reaching me through the trees. While the sun stays in the sky, I mend my torn clothes And facing the moon, I read holy texts aloud to myself. Let me drop a word of advice for believers of my faith. To enjoy life’s immensity, you do not need many things.

You Do Not Need Many Things
The fault of our reality is not written in our stars And it will not dance across unfavorable constellations, Or dissolve into inconsolable fragments. The fault, my love, is not written in our stars. It is written in ourselves. But how fortunate would it be? To cast the providence of our unlucky affairs Into the gloomy twilight, Where the sky is so unilluminated That we could close our restful eyes And fathom a world where it does not exist? But the fault, my love, is not written in our stars. It is written in ourselves. We are heavily folded sheets of stationary: A collection of utterances Bound into melancholy novels By our mangled hearts, And though spoken words Still fall onto my turning pages As tears do fall from my reddened cheeks, I have yet to forget The chapter you have left unwritten, Because an unwritten chapter is one to be adorned: It cannot end For it does not exist. And so we fumble through an amorous affliction, Fabricated into a bittersweet infinity. And at midnight, When my restless fingers ***** the empty air for you, And the reality of our desolate fault Seeps into my hands, I wish you were here. But the fault, my love, is not written in our stars. It is written in ourselves. j.s.

Everlasting love is a commitment Ref 008 Everlasting love is a commitment. Virtual reality cannot ever compare Everlasting reality is my love for you Reality that continues unabated Longer than affairs of the heart As my darling I know you by heart Since the first Happy days meeting The first day of the rest of my life I discovered an everlasting love Not withstanding your aloof brow Golden are the moments shared Love's unconditional commitment Only true lovers understand it . Very close encounters promote it Especially within thy noble form I love you so much my Barbara So much once to inspire my mind As constant is my wish to praise Composing lines of loving prose On each and every living day. My mind races with the inspiration Mastering words of literary giants In songs of praise dedicated to thee Then understand my commitment My commitment ,to my darling girl Everlasting love is my commitment Not just for now but forever always Thank you for our life commitment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Philip.

Education is the ladder. Education is the key. Education is the mother of success. Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction. Enlightening experience of learners. Learners stop making teachers lose the war of education because of being distracted by the social world. Boys stop believing in drugs and alcohol because alcohol is an intoxicating drink that slow down and depressing the brain. Girls stop believing in affairs and believe in education because your certificates will never leave you but boys can leave you and left you with gift of tears in your back. Study hard because time wasted never regain. When you are willing to learn you will stay humble and be the good coach to your friends. Principal words Time is money if you are wasting your own time you are wasting your own money. Remember perseverance is the mother of success. Education is the key . Education is the ladder.

Education
She wants to become a girl again, After two divorces, three kids and pieces of heart blended into the uneven daily affairs. She wishes to be innocent once more. To see the sky through her amber eyes; To laugh carelessly down a penniless neighborhood; To recollect the fragrant things she holds dear. Where is the Anne of Green Gables? Where is the Alice in Wonderland? Where are Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy? Where did the flowers go to die. She tells me she misses all the sunrise, Gazing into a blue sunset, The cooking that tastes no longer loving, The perfume that smells no longer happy, The loneliness that is no longer heroic. She carries on, with her broken wings, and the birth of a woman's concrete essence.

Authors and actors and artists and such Never know nothing, and never know much. Sculptors and singers and those of their kidney Tell their affairs from Seattle to Sydney. Playwrights and poets and such horses' necks Start off from anywhere, end up at *** Diarists, critics, and similar roe Never say nothing, and never say no. People Who Do Things exceed my endurance; God, for a man that solicits insurance!

The way he mouths her name His precise tone and articulation sends her crazed and off the edge a bliss with no resuscitation Exploring every inch with callused touch and hesitation Whispered moans in exclamations His kiss. His body. Her adoration They build their high in accumulation Released in sync, their exhilaration Silent physical communication Coming down with slow deceleration They meet eyes and mouths in gratification to slowly fall in reveries from their affair and liberation

I definitely won’t make any apologies for saying this and if anyone isn't careful she’ll leave them in a ditch. But don't get me wrong, I am not referring to any woman by that name only to the powers of deception that are played within the devil's game.                      When you consider how much trouble she has caused; without a moment’s lapse or of one repentant paused, in human affairs over the years since the advent of man; it’s a wonder that she hasn’t yet been flushed in the pan. In case you might just be wondering what I’m talking about Maya is the female equivalent of Satan who is a **** lout, and who plays around deceiving anyone that ignores the Truth which has been ingrained in our mind and heart since our youth. In fact anything that is Divine, noble, good and of inestimable worth Maya will try to turn it around into a thing seeming of much less birth. She thus plays around with our emotions causing one to doubt and fear where the reality of a situation would be to have faith and some cheer. Her main battle is waged within a vulnerable human heart and mind especially when an individual is undergoing difficulties of any kind. She is also the one who arouses anger, jealousy, lust, greed and pride, being full of all those traits herself and more she projects them outside. We must try and be aware of the extent of her subtle delusion and escape any entanglement in the net of her worldly illusion; that so many people are now caught up in without their real knowing not realising that Love and Truth are the things most worth showing. ______________________________

In case you might just be wondering what I’m talking about Maya is the female equivalent of Satan who is a **** lout, and who plays around deceiving anyone that ignores the Truth which has been ingrained in our mind and heart since our youth. In fact anything that is Divine, noble, good and of inestimable worth Maya will try to turn it around into a thing seeming of much less birth. She thus plays around with our emotions causing one to doubt and fear where the reality of a situation would be to have faith and some cheer. Her main battle is waged within a vulnerable human heart and mind especially when an individual is undergoing difficulties of any kind. She is also the one who arouses anger, jealousy, lust, greed and pride, being full of all those traits herself and more she projects them outside. We must try and be aware of the extent of her subtle delusion and escape any entanglement in the net of her worldly illusion; that so many people are now caught up in without their real knowing not realising that Love and Truth are the things most worth showing. ______________________________

Overcome -- O bitter sweetness, Inhabitant of the soft cheek of a girl -- The rich man and his affairs, The fat flocks and the fields' fatness, Mariners, rough harvesters; Overcome Gods upon Parnassus; Overcome the Empyrean; hurl Heaven and Earth out of their places, That in the Same calamity Brother and brother, friend and friend, Family and family, City and city may contend, By that great glory driven wild. Pray I will and sing I must, And yet I weep -- Oedipus' child Descends into the loveless dust.

From The 'Antigone'
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

how far must she travel to rediscover her purpose her purpose what a preposterous concept neither rest nor return are purpose neither love nor hate are purpose neither this nor that so then what what is it what is the answer to this unquantifiable question perhaps it rests in the caverns of her dreams in the caverns of her subconscious synesthetic mind seeing colors for numbers and mango puddles in the rain it was always her imaginative spirit that activated her forehead which wrinkled with the tides of hurt pain sadness glory god and she was told to soften that sternness soften it until she was nonexistent but instead she asked what are these things what are their purpose besides drinking foreheads and wringing potential and piping out excuses for this and for that for crimson activities and claret affairs
