"affecting" poems
*I Fell In Love With You I fell in love with you slowly, syllable by syllable, word by word, poem by poem imagining the moon’s dancing affair with stars, twinkle by twinkle. And then all at once like the explosion of a super nova affecting distant galaxies and down to my very soul. ~~~ I fell in love with you gently, the way a dew drop glistens in the morning sun, the way a flower often opens to a moonlit song. ~~~ But like all love worth holding, it turns to fire- raging, uncontrolled, wild and consuming; you have become the flames dancing across my skin, smoldering brightly within my heart turning me into the sweet smell of ash. ~~~ I fell in love with you slowly then quickly, the way a meteor flashes as it skims across the night sky or hearts melt within an ******** sigh. I fell in love with you. Sorry. Aztec Warrior 12.4.15*

POEM 99
Radness The Philosopher’s Stone is not just a spiritual metaphor but an actual substance that can transmute lead or mercury into gold. The Stone is a product of Alchemy. Unlike chemistry, which only deals with physical matter and energy, Alchemy makes use of etheric and astral energies to reconfigure matter at the quantum level. Alchemy is to chemistry what a cube is to the square; it is a superset of chemistry and is capable of so much more. How Etheric Energy Overrides Physical Laws Alchemical achievements require successfully gathering, concentrating, and multiplying etheric energy. When this energy reaches a critical threshold, it overpowers the normal laws of physics and allows seemingly miraculous processes to take place. I believe it does this by biasing probability. By amplifying the probability of minor quantum effects, which are normally limited to the subatomic scale, they manifest on the larger atomic scale. In this way, one element spontaneously transforms into another. The world around us is made of subatomic particles that regularly undergo unpredictable jumps, teleportation, bilocation, superposition, and other strange quantum behaviors. Why don’t everyday solid objects do likewise? Because the random quantum jittering of their subatomic particles collectively average out to zero. Think of a large crowd of people; seen from the air, the crowd as a whole is stationary, even though individuals within the crowd move in seemingly random directions. It’s because their movements are random and uncoordinated that they average to zero net movement on the whole. The world we see around us is merely a crowd of subatomic particles whose individual quantum jumps aren’t apparent because they average to collective stillness. Physical laws that govern our everyday world, known as the deterministic laws of classical physics, are merely the laws of the crowd. These laws are what’s left of quantum physics after the unpredictability is removed through statistical averaging. They are not absolute laws; they are just the most probable manner in which matter and energy behave. Physical laws can be bent. While the probability is incredibly low that enough coordination and coherence develops among the quantum jitters to manifest on a collective scale, that is exactly what etheric energy does. It alters probability and thereby skews the laws of thermodynamics, gravity, electromagnetism, and chemistry. Alchemy does not violate the laws of physics, nor does it always follow them, rather it bends them as needed. It operates upon the quantum foundation from which these laws arise in the first place, via etheric energy affecting the probability of quantum events.

**ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S FAMOUS CIVIL WAR CONDOLENCE LETTER TO YOUNG ***** MCCULLOUGH ABOUT DEATH, LOSS AND MEMORY** Executive Mansion, Washington, December 23, 1862. Dear ***** It is with deep grief that I learn of the death of your kind and brave Father; and, especially, that it is affecting your young heart beyond what is common in such cases. In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say; and you need only to believe it, to feel better at once. The memory of your dear Father, instead of an agony, will yet be a sad sweet feeling in your heart, of a purer, and holier sort than you have known before. Please present my kind regards to your afflicted mother. Your sincere friend A. LINCOLN.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S FAMOUS CIVIL WAR CONDOLENCE LETTER TO YOUNG ***** MCCULLOUGH ABOUT DEATH, LOSS AND MEMORY
Black - the color of death Defined by the absence of color...and life Black is the colour of a dying soul and the lives tossed in among the coal Black is the colour of a crimson sky From the battles and wars that took place in time Black is the colour of a child's tears Curled up in a corner and drenched in fear Black is the sound of a fired gun And black is a mother's tears cried out for her son Black is the lives lost out at sea and the bound and the tortured waiting to be free Black is the colour of the mutilated and broken Black is darkness To some extent it's inside us all affecting our feelings and mind slowly creeping up behind take this absence and fill it with life invert our black into white and create inside us an everlasting light, the truth

You see me as the bacteria And yourself as the antibiotic I see you across the cafeteria Acting psychotic Because of what I find ****** You treat me like I'm toxic But you're seen as normal So I hide beneath the coral To avoid your aggression That will teach me a lesson About correctly guessing Where your fists will go next You tell me I want it like *** This is your way to flex To show you have an edge You single out the marginalized There's no way you'll hedge When you have harm in your eyes And then use charm as a disguise To make me cry over spilt milk Because I am not of your ilk For I am as soft as silk Like the sheets I want to roll in with you Instead you shoved my face into poo As my ***** grew I think of killing myself With my gun When I think of filling myself With your *** While pretending I'm your son And swallowing you like gum Those are my ideas of fun Yours is to tell me to run From your intensely penetrating fists That make me regret my penetrating wish As you brandish the weapon From the movie Inception That launches you into my dreams Giving my thoughts a singular theme As my mouth continually screams I was born on the wrong team You wanted to exhibit your power In this seemingly arbitrary hour So you broke my nose To show off for your hoes An off the cuff Attempt to be tough But I found it deeply affecting When I could feel your hatred injecting Making me wonder if I'd ever be free After I saw the only ending I could see You move to strike me again This time I have my mac 10 That I brought to school For a one sided duel You changed the trajectory of my life By changing the trajectory of my bullets You taught me about strife You taught me how power is the coolest You taught me to move on to your friends Their lives I must remember to end This is the message I'm choosing to send When they sat back and watched the hate Like it was 1938 I lost my sympathy After being treated differently And gained a ruthless anger That turned me into a stranger So I let the automatic gun spray Faster than they could pray For their hoots and hollers I shoot their collars Creating shade in the halls That I make when they fall The feeling goes to my ***** I become strangely intoxicated By the death of those who hated So I go back to your dead body And do what you felt was so naughty And now there is no one even around for you to tell That I ****** your corpse while you watched from Hell

Face after face after face, they stare out at me. I look into eyes full of hope and pain, fear and courage, longing and loneliness, and the faces, the voices, the yearning are all my own. How are we to find the one who is looking for us, with that unique blend of terror and anticipation that makes us their "perfect match?" We each want to change our subscription to the romance channel. No more docu-dramas, please! So much history, so many angry silent nights The full moon mocking, cold and distant. Please care. Talk to me. Hold my hand-- Dance with me! Be fun! Make me laugh-- Don't hurt me. Please, don't hurt me! We smile bravely for the camera, affecting a nonchalance that is gone forever, and we show our friends that we have recovered-- the surgery was completely successful! See? The scar is barely visible, true. But tell me honestly, can you really feel life Now, through the scar tissue of Then?

Perfect Match?
A ***** duct tape silences my mouth People say blood is thicker than water Yet your thunderous voice screams at me Does daddy cherish his daughter? So why can’t your eyes open and see You’ve become a Mein Kampf tyrant? You want my obedience and silence! A ***** duct tape silences my mouth As it leaves a residue of disgust Must this be our memory? Though silent my heart feels unjust- Must you **** all my energy; Leave me to feel lost and astray As mental state starts to decay A ***** duct tape silences my mouth Will your anger subside and be quiet? Fear suffocates vulnerable heart; Wrathful words ready for a riot; Confidence crushed as it’s torn apart. Verbal abuse moves like a torrent flood, Affecting those who share the same blood! (c) 2018 Joanne Chang

***** Duct Tape
Everyday there’s a new story A new plea that goes ignored An outcry for protection That the government “can’t afford” A community is broken A family in bits A mother holds her dead son It didn’t need to be like this “My thoughts and prayers are with you” What’s that gonna do? It’s easy enough to stand back When it isn’t affecting you People post on social media About the horrors of the crime But how can they truly comment When their school isn’t next in line? A march to show the ‘big men’ What their little minds can’t see Real humans suffering At the word “death” they turn and flee A 15-year-old boy bleeds His life already done He wants someone to hold him His last word escapes, “Mom” This is real, this is wrong This is happening now Children scared of education In case they get shot down So, now forget the hashtags Now forget the thoughts Now we need action Not more ****** news reports.

Gun Violence
Smile, a simple curve in your face That sets everything into place It's a gesture in your lips That makes me forget how to sleep Smiling will cost you nothing But for me it means everything It always happen in just a flash Yet the memory stored in me will last With a glimpse of that sweet smirk And this whole world of mine change With a glance of your sparkling smile I can say that this life is a brand new game Why would I bother gazing up in the sky If the shiniest star is in front of my eye It would be a waste of time diving looking for a pearl It's an obvious fact, with your smile nothing can be compare Your smile is like a contagious virus Affecting my heart, and mind and make me smile too damaging my brain cells and can't do a thing hanged, frozen, just looking straight to you It's amazing how it can make me vulnerable Your smile is very lovable I'll do anything to make that smile last for eternity Because it defines the name "diane" for me

Your smile
Yes, you are gorgeous Makes me love drunk all day How you are gorgeous you asked? Words can't even give a brief explanation Your gorgeousness Is beyond this world Something I never seen Never to be detected in the milky way Deflecting every radio waves Your gorgeousness Is something that cannot be seen By the naked eye Reflecting every traces of light Causing internal reflection Forming rainbows around the sky Your gorgeousness Is poison Kills me inside and out Accelerates the drums of my heartbeat Nearing me to my dear grave Yes, you are gorgeous Can it be true? I'm not sure if it is affecting everyone else But, I guarantee you I have fallen head over heels for you

Know this—I am well acquainted with the wolf, Well versed in his ways, his demeanor, His dispassionate relentlessness, His pitiless focus on hunt and hunted, His workaday disdain of pity. There are those who would laud the mythical Spartan lad Who hid the wolf beneath his cloak, Affecting some gallant stoicism As the beast consumed him without restraint, But I say to you that is a mere romantic fallacy, A wanton failure to apprehend the true moral. I have learned that there is no accommodation, No covenant to be reached with the wolf, And any attempt to do so is merely to invite destruction, And so I choose to engage him openly, without reservation, Rolling tail-over-teacup in the streets, Attempting to hold his jaws open with bare hands While those who find such battle unseemly and uncouth Jeer and hoot from porch and portico. No matter, for I will continue to meet the cur on my terms, For staid suffering in the hopes Of reaching some accord with the beast Is the not the act of the noble sage: It is the mock heroics of the coward, The sad acquiescence of the simpering fool.

A Variation On Edgar Lee Masters' "Dorcas Gustine"
Acceptance called out, evoking astonishing silence Ringing in a whispered new kiss Of velvety sensations murmuring sweet promises Such delicate pure visions of bliss Unforgettable missives powerfully pulsated within Profoundly affecting all feeling Shimmering on the edges of what has to be Treasured without any ceilings No confines, shorn of imaginary bounds to present Nestled in shining perfect peace Acceptance called out, evoking remarkable silence Ringing in a spectacular release When our eyes meet tenderly, with arms open wide No imaginary bounds or ceilings exist Just the velvety sensations murmuring promises In the sweetest taste of your kiss

Your Kiss
I'm scared of being a disappointment. I'm scared of being vulnerable. I'm scared of what people really think of me. I'm scared of breaking your heart. I'm scared of not being enough. I'm scared of saying "I love you." I'm scared of being complimented. I'm scared of people smelling my breath when I don't brush my teeth. I'm scared of using public toilets. I'm scared of what parents say about me. I'm scared of what teachers say about me. I'm scared of the truth. I'm scared of not having friends. I'm scared of breaking the rules. I'm scared of acting. I'm scared of having regrets. I'm scared of my past affecting my future. I'm scared I'm not worth the trouble. I'm scared of choking on a necklace in my sleep. I'm scared of communicating deeply about my feelings with others. I'm scared of doing something wrong. I'm scared of not going to a good college. I'm scared of talking about religion. I'm scared of talking about money. I'm scared of causing anyone unneeded grief. But, I'm brave too.

Most of us are familiar with The escapism from pain. For an easy and cheap solution Or because of advices of the Doctors, psychologs; Most of us get a cheap piece of matter Triggering the oscillation of dopamine, Making most of us addicted to them As well as being harmed As the result of their side effects. Even the teens intoxicate things Causing these things. Some of call this signalling matter Nicotine or alcohol. Others call drugs as well as Medicines having great side effects on Our psychology that means Our minds, feelings and importantly Our souls. How these piece of matter Deletes your pain? Simply, by affecting your Biologic structure. This causes the cage of Emotions and behaviours Freezing your actions and thoughts As well as mostly The cage itself. This stabilization of actions therefore, Decreases the capability of Varying the actions. What you can do, You are capable to do. Capacity is the power. Lesser power lesser creativity. All in all Nothing more than robotic step You all do in all. By lesser creativity, What you do becomes Completely addiction. No good, no bad; Only the robotic step You all do. So subject becomes object of External distraction. In the hellish world, You are distracted to hell. A piece of addictive matter Ends with Painful robotic suffering Until you fade away. But the music, music, music Is the harmonious effective vibes of Yourself. This music can do anything, Instead of freezing you only if an only. This music can do anything, By transforming the self by Twisting you through making you Its beautiful voice. We classify the music In account of its causes. But material cause is not the music. Instead, the elegance of meaning As well as the shining effect Is the music. It is the music that will Create the best in us! Make the best of us! Hold the best of us! Than you may say, I want music but this is poetry. Than I say, Poetry is the music of the words. It is the music of life Will the shining ray of creativity. It is the music of life Will the kingdom of heaven. Its the nectar in form of music Being the music of nectar, Becoming the nectar of the music! Music creating music In seem of poem. Catch it, follow it! Better than any drugs. Music creating music In seem of poem. Say it! Sing it! Better than anything! It is the best, you desire! We call it, you are welllllllllll...

loved seeing your face knowing you fell asleep when you normally don’t hearing your laugh Recognising voice Before I knew you were there My failed attempts at sneaking up on you With every thought, I find how much I miss your humor Our daily conversations; About everything. Opening up to you came so naturally The acceptance you showed Respect you exserted The confidence you gave me The positive outlook on life All things I learned Just by knowing you How easy the “L” word was to say Not many people do I say “I love you” Although I can’t help but hate myself “ I let myself get attached. Without you I’m vulnerable. As I make impulsive decisions. I walk with my head up And act like everything is perfect. Im aware I only hurt myself; Wanting to be alone But longing to be alone with you. To tell you why I’m upset Wanting to believe you When you said you loved me But with that expectation I find myself broken and alone. Although now; I know what I want Is what I can’t have Continuing without you? Not only broken and alone But the feeling of desire Once again; For someone I can’t have No way to feel as optimistic As I once did around you Can’t bring myself to talk to anyone. Knowing they’ll misunderstand Staying occupied seems best; Avoiding the thought of you Being so passionately spontaneous Not passing up an opportunity Keeping myself busy Nervous at the mention of your name. Hoping to find you And that you’ll come home okay I miss you. I love you. I just want you home Until then I’m counting the days Attempting to be happy and appreciative But with you gone; My happiness is as well It’s quite unfortunate how it all played out, The haircut,The uniform I’ve always supported your decision But it’s affecting me More than I thought it would I’m more proud of you than I’ve ever been of anything I know you’ll stay safe And you’ll come home happy I look forward to that Just promise me something.. “Keep your shoes tied.”

As life in Israel flourishes For Israelis, it's not so fine-- As many conditions deteriorate-- For the poor people of Palestine. Chances of a two-state solution Dwindle, which is not a good sign As settlement expansions increase, Affecting the people of Palestine. For Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza, The infrastructure is in a decline. Will Gaza be uninhabitable for The poor people of Palestine? Defining what is their land, Israeli Lawmakers draw a hard line: This land belongs to the Jews, they say, Forgetting the people of Palestine. Cuts in economic aid And hospital care will undermine The health and quality of life Of the poor people of Palestine? Will an Israeli apartheid regime Be the ultimate design, Or will there be hope for the poor Struggling people of Palestine? -by Bob B (10-22-18)

But What About Poor Palestine?
This is a formal complaint to one Cupid on behalf of the population of earth. We find that you've become somewhat, how can we put it mildly.... unsavory ever since you started drinking. We've found that you have not been taking your job seriously at all since that time We were understanding at first. Your job? It's not an easy one. It tolerates almost no failure, and requires both physical and mental capacity that is beyond what most of us can spare. However...we feel that the alcohol is affecting your judgement and character in a way that we can no longer accept. Below, we've listed the particularly heinous abuses of your power 1. Taking bets on what you can make people fall in love with. John is now smitten with a cactus while Jenny can't stay away from the inflatable Santa Claus on the Morgans' lawn. 2. Having very attractive women fall in love for your...erm...personal pleasure. That's just offensive 3. Having members of the same family fall in love. The vulgarity of it all is just appalling! It's an ****** epidemic! 4. Shooting your arrows at Rhinoceroses and then laughing as they charge a poor unsuspecting person is not funny. 5. Likewise, shooting an unsuspecting person and having them fall in love with a Rhinoceros who doesn't reciprocate is equally unfunny 6. Last, but not least...Please fix the Republican Candidates. Mitt Romney and Rick ******** are trying to get married next week. While I'm happy that they are now "for" gay marriage, this cannot be tolerated. So? Do you have anything to say for yourself? Is that alcohol I smell on your breath? You don't even care, do you? Well...we have no choice but to revok---OW! Oh dear.

why do we trap ourselves with walls of thought that exist only in our heads, walls that restrict what we can see and understand through our journeys in life and love, good and evil, wonder and cynicism What are we so afraid of in our existence that barriers are created so strong built through belief and ignorance, invented to keep so much from affecting the way we think and act, as if the minute amount we know is enough to live by without being curious about this amazing universe we find ourselves inhabiting, filling the area around us with out thoughts How can we not be filled with an unquenchable thirst to discover and understand all that is around us surrounded in physical splendor and ethereal mystery All things are there for our mind to intertwine with to understand without deconstruction, to comprehend without destruction to be a part of and with all of life while being individually thinking, metaphysical exploration. When will we allow our minds to expand beyond our walls of mistrust and comfort to show our thoughts and joys of living emotion to each other to let the very essence of who we are to press against each other in vulnerability and trust, to share without expectation of return. Without empathy and understanding our thoughts will remain only our own, locked away and formless, unable to show the universe the beauty of what we truly are. Where will we be once we can share with each other our thoughts mingling to be able and ready to explore this fantastic existence we will be human, at long last true to ourselves and everyone else to realize the universe is a thought in the mind of a child and so are we.

Laughter & glitter Sunshining through straight white teeth – voice unheard of With a smile to make any man slither over Cutting soft stomachs open Driving out with sticks and leaves and rocks And leaving me with the tab How like them to err for the sake of error Terrible and true Acuity bound It’s feeding time at the zoo & There’s no one to take this noose off around my neck We were swimming in the gulf when she asked Why create when there’s so much to destroy? My hands their play things too Toys ordained from disdain sustained By tight men in tight suits Watching us from Ivory Towers What a relief & the power trips of the circus beneath them Reaching out with viral irony I scream Out to the heavens heaven doesn’t take collect calls & here she is connecting souls to mates Correcting hate and abating disgrace worldwide Webs intangible but thought to be hooked To the hearts that spun them Free flowing love & peace to cut my noose hung from The sycamore tree As for me what more could please Disease eradicated People educated Our lives illustrated not by blood off a bayonet But by regret eliminated Fat cats in high homes with low self esteem would seem Just as happy to see her redacted from the text books Crooked lies straightened & the sad thing is they Trick us fine serfs to mitigate others in their organized ignorance Leaving us in the dark to elbow for clues Groping the dust blind & Hurting ourselves with ***** fingernails scratching She shouts like a car crash & Everyone’s at the scene drawn to attention By flashing red & blue Cashing their moral chips for a peepshow Their smiles use less muscles than frowns but take twice the effort Affecting deflections of accusations People listen & how couldn’t they? Her words lifting chins like a rope over a branch But this time the tree’s on fire The Tower’s burning & she’s cutting all the safety nets Like she cut the rope off around my neck

You have abandoned purity for perfection. Even the blind have moments of clarity but you ***** around like the Cyclops feeling nowhere for noman while affecting a quiet, moronic expression. You can't knit without needles, but you have mislaid the point and so things unravel into random skeins. Your typewriter rattles only in reverse. Bards stub their toes and wail. You hear them, but pay no attention. You are listening for the atomic thunderclap. Nothing less than finale of final will do. When it explodes at last you will know the inarticulate, unspeakable name of god. Perhaps Fred. Perhaps Norma or Justine. Perhaps merely a very loud Boom... That will be more than enough for one life.

Rabid Declamation
812 A Light exists in Spring Not present on the Year At any other period— When March is scarcely here A Color stands abroad On Solitary Fields That Science cannot overtake But Human Nature feels. It waits upon the Lawn, It shows the furthest Tree Upon the furthest Slope you know It almost speaks to you. Then as Horizons step Or Noons report away Without the Formula of sound It passes and we stay— A quality of loss Affecting our Content As Trade had suddenly encroached Upon a Sacrament.

A Light exists in Spring
Foster, what family? Lower class, dream of  vacation ******** what trickles down, affecting a life situation White to Blue Collar; a rebuild or invasion? Millions inside the boxes of convention Justified superficial, backhanded salutations Refute Love, proposed as mankind’s invention Pulled by a string of instant gratification Finding freedom’s temporary If ever, long term locations Constricted, system of classifications The socially admissible connections, Not to mention gangs of corrections Flowing through the previous, my own generation For the infinite hours One after the other Trade integrity for the illusion of power Not all those with a gun should be considered a coward Face the souls sold on Wall Street, Remember those from Twin Towers Ground zero, abandoned. Now bare, desolate The idea of terrorism denied, while some wrestle it Rationales dislocate, post hairline fracture Frontal lobe imposter, posing in rapture As if talent, love, or hate could ever be captured Held at gun point, then forgotten years after My children will one day look to me for the answer What’s society, this twisted maze we live in? I will gaze in their eyes with the same exact question And don’t ever allow me again not to mention Real criminals can’t learn from minute or life-long detentions Some incapable of that level of retention As our battered soldiers forever sleep at attention Politically correct, tongues in consistent hesitation Kiss police *** only to go to the station Before the thought of who signed the citation Treated as if it were a felony violation Our basic rights according to our nation Arizona & Co for minority elimination Die fighting the statute of poverty’s limitations vi.i.xi

Loving you from afar is like admiring a flower that I refuse to pick. Simply taking a picture would never be as fulfilling as holding it in my hands but it's beauty remains for others to experience for generations if I refrain from affecting it's benevolent state. I planted you, a young seed in the desert only to watch you germinate amongst a lush forest teeming with fertility. You spawn roots from nothingness in a ploy to recreate love in my image. Predators lust after your flesh but your roots remain firm in the soil. You pray as I pray to the sun with veins full of water and energy. I see distorted reflections of myself in your essence and therefore sacrifice my passion, in the name of appreciating life

The Bloom
Ever have that I want to be alone, but I’m lonely feeling? You know like, on a Friday night everyone is out in good company While you’re home on the couch because that’s where you want to be And as you stare at your no missed calls or messages on your cell phone A flash of loneliness comes rushing throughout your body But then again You’re home on the couch because that’s where you wanted to be Right? Ambivert by nature, surround me with people so that I can run around the whole room Conversing with every clique and crew Then when I’m drained take them away This is the way I’ve always been I don’t know why, It’s something I cant really explain I cling onto my personal space, stay away from it I don’t want you in my way But come back and be with me I need affection and some attention I don’t really have any friends An emotional roller coaster that’s never ending! You cant be outgoing and be a loner at the same time Choose A side and stop leaving people in confusion Its like you’re bipolar, I cant take it and so I’m leaving. I’m older, and now it’s affecting my love life relations Brokenhearted When will I ever become synced with my feelings? A complicated mass mess walking amongst the crowds with her head down One day I’ll conquer this mental confliction Until then to stay hidden… I keep talking And to be heard I remain in the dark corners, silent [?????????????]
