"alchemists" poems
The router's a strobe light; I can't connect. The microwave fritzed, I can't heat. The circuit shut; guess no electricity. Ayo no technology. Let's talk ancient philosophy, NOT whether Beyonce is a feminist. Let's have a bonfire and roast meat cause none of us were vegan before this. Let's light candles in the streets. Pray batteries die on LCD screens. Cause we were alchemists before technology, the versed probing the multiverse, thrilled, lighting our golden embroidery on life. Now were just bored. Coy toys to tied strings, webs that touch everything, but the space between.

Ayo no technology
One puts all nature into mourning, One lights her like a flaring sun — What whispers ‘Burial’ to the one Cries to the other, ‘Life and Morning.’ The unknown Hermes who assists The role of Midas to reverse, And makes me by a subtle curse The saddest of all alchemists — By him, my paradise to hell, And gold to **** is changed too well. The clouds are winding-sheets, and I, uncover corpses loved of old; and where the shores celestial die I carve vast tombs against the sky.

The Alchemy of Sorrow - Charles Baudelaire
There is nothing here Not the façade of a façade Can’t you see our idea fading? We thought we were Hobbes’ Leviathan The modern alchemists of state We’re nothing more than rodents! Scurrilous, maladapted membranes Spewing from democracy forth Ought they to encapsulate us? They must needs encapsulate the naïve! Whiling away at the trough as though livestock I’m to be ground on the wheel regardless; Nay, stretched on the rack of modernity! By the comforts of progress and superficiality Sought after as if vital By the people, “We the people!” Rallying cry for throngs, imprisoning themselves With society, a subtle hocus pocus The trite, aged argument Of those who’d force you build your very tenement Paying rent to breathe, Countless yet believe Tripartite consumer, greed and slavery Surrounding you and me Separating ignorance from squalor In a ghetto of the mind You're right, we're alright

We're Al(l-)Right
Trees hold the deep earth together way below with crooked fingers of the underworld and catches foul above Upward to the heavens on finger towers, clapping on winds they shake their dander And the makers of green bras on mountain tops They are the landlords of ground,and air beasts, and incumbent giants of the ages They whisper being puppeteered by winds of old They are the alchemists of oxygen They are dangling playgrounds They are the Autumn crunches beneath our feet Trunk etchings by bards, trees reflecting cultures' dissemination We walk under penumbras that deny the scorch of summer as cool water douses fire, so too, shade douses heat Watching trees in my pleasant reverie I observe how they help break the carpeted land, bringing about a  certain diversity in moving tranquility and rustling of their songs

Trees in majesty
Each of you. My individual singularities, Dad’s One Thing. Conceived 1955. Driven home, progeny, made man, unequivocal, indisputable. Post-war night spirits undaunted ~ stop ******* me. *** for you, stopped me. Can’t make it the way you want. Please stop. Backing off, I respect real you. Don’t push me Me. Don’t dream. Will dream us. Short sentence for guilt whisked way beyond what crime could be. We combine beans and seeds and gourds. That’s science! Culinary! Botany, true, but I’m enaturated. Human pod progressed. If that’s a word, don’t dream it’s not. Forget every word. But make each and every word count. Then add stash, socked away. I concede. Mi casa su casa. Paint it. Together. Made mistake then fixed it. Copasetic dovetails, my lady and me (not I). We walk talk island jib. I like the cut of your yar across the moonlit pool. Go around with me to all haunts, snow globetrotting shaken not stirred My déjà vu in futurum videre, I can’t believe. Asunder goddesses should be together, While Isis and Osiris boogie like Beatrice and Dante encircled, Their own private imbroglio invaded By Goth end time alchemists conjuring copyrights for gelt. You tell me this short story. I cringe. My mind clouds men’s, and then conjures Morpheus. My shadow child joins me in Paradise, Deliria dancing in concert with Shakespearean intent. My daughter’s got more guts in one pinky Than all that fallen pilot on our island bargained for In the games that decided who’s hungrier. You could have been that gal.

we plant the seeds of our own destruction "everything in moderation." here I am in backlash station, braiding my hair with poison in my lungs, on my breath, in my stare. my silver tongue has an alchemists tooth a lung for a lung and the whole world's done anti-smoke anti-drink anti-fry diet coked, diet thinking, diet guy yes, he's gonna die bleeding through his finger tips we touch lips, hips? say goodbye, maybe take him home next time. he's got me in a bind stuck in his rhyme he peeled me from the core though I had a rind but the fruit which I drink is GMO such as he, the fluoride in my sink. a love poem made me think a tag is such a drag because a label isn't me, a price could be innocence mystery a held too close and you're history he sent to me late night called to see if the aches from which I break have calmed down to be more of a lesson than a test, more of a sleep than a restlessness. there's no one who should have to witness this... "I'll be okay." maybe I'll say it again... "I'll be okay." For once and forward because I want to, a lot of people said I didn't have a choice but to and I don't want to hurt any of you, with the insanity of keeping things in with the feelings that I simply suppressed thought he made me happy and undressed foolishly traded my tears for alcohol sweet words for smoke, true love for a joke. I've lost all I could lose let him take all that I thought could be took, and now I finally see what was to be had all along, what was there all along... you all were right and I was wrong. I ran away, that's not okay, but I'm back and here today. I love you all, I love you most, I wont push you away, so hold me close. I'm breaking and aching, I'm shedding out tears, I'm sorry for masking and mashing my fears. I know I don't know and I wish to learn quick, there's not that much time and there's no love in a **** excuse my bad language for I do not speak  French... I'll stop with the jokes and go for what's true, there's no more emptiness in the words "I love you".

I stood waiting for her I was told she would come I stood waiting cold and numb Numbed by the pain, tablets and lotions Numbed by the hope of a notion A notion that said I might find a cure A cure that would let me lead a life I could finally endure For my life has been one of repeated pain Pain from the physical, emotional, where there is no gain A life that is lived in between, of darkness and then sparkle A life that is to my own heart no more than a debacle I was told If I met her she could help me create My own alchemy, a precious recipe that would make A remedy that would soothe my soul allow it to rest Allow my physical body to stop undergoing this continual test I heard movement come through the blackness Towards me to meet, a beautiful figure, dazzling and complete Her beauty was breathtaking her adornment a delight She illuminated my world at once and reignited my own light She has a familiarity that my body recognizes, a bejeweled Being who lights up my world with her smile and surprises Even me as I watch and stare as she moves through the darkness With such knowledge and without care I follow her light down passageways and past keeps And notice parts of my body awakening like from a sleep A body that wants to talk to me and say That authenticity is the alchemy from which you have strayed Your body has such wisdom its waiting to be read. This is the alchemy you search for, its that voice in your head It is an illuminated manuscript gilded with the finest gold, gold of your own making your life experience is the beauty you need to hold. The magic is in your intuition, that you hold deep within yourself You follow this beautiful lady and yet she is a mirror of your own self She came because you finally called her and she sits in front of you now Administering her balms that lingers on your skin, it caresses the pain you feel and smoothes you from within. But this is a balm of your own making , made out of all your own pain It sparkles with the light you have been seeking it is your own beauty, Hopelessness and pain. So look no longer for the alchemists hand, behold what you see in the mirror and be glad that you stand, for you are a beauty to behold, a life to be treasured, a life that is lived in, a life that can be measured.

Lost Spirit
The chemicals produced by the brain Combine and collide In order to confuse. I want to defy the formula, Ignore the reaction, And choose. Choose what I want, Who I want, Override chemical overthinking. Overactive imagination plus a little stimulation Equals lust, obsession, pain. Perhaps if I try really hard to overcome my programming, I could be an alchemist of emotional responses, Instead of an oxytocin ****** I know, I know It's arrogant of me to expect to be The first human being to truly master self-control. The alchemists of old Had a better chance Of turning straw to gold.

Went to the doc. Told me I was on my way to Dying Way faster than I should be. *Laughed. Doc, you been telling me that for Five years And my poetry is only getting better.* He says, Ya think? Look at you, You live in a watery place, Talking to god about sports, Ripping off O.Henry, Solving equations On the direction of the Bubbles you blow into the skies, Recording your innermost In public bathrooms, Ever ask yourself, Is that normal? *Laughed. Every now and then, I take them pills You gave me. They come in orange cylinders, 30 at a clip, Supplied my druggist dealer. I figure for every pill, Another day, another poem. But I won't stick myself no more. Got enough people- things Sticking me daily. Why should I help themselves along?* You right, doc snorted. You've lived this long, What ya got to show for it? Then why do you come Bothering me, Annoying me. You think I like Spending 90 minutes With you? You think I spend 90 minutes of mine On every poet That comes thru My swinging doors? *Well I like how, doc, You write down everything I tell you, so when the archaeologists And the alchemists Come a-digging, Looking for the facts of figures, In your files, They will find the gritty story Of a New Yorker, Who saw poems in sidewalk cracks, Street signs, young hearts and smiles, Even you white starch coat, Your stern disapproving face, gets utilized, but got stop someday, Wouldn't be fair If I used up more than my Fare-thee-well share Of words.* The doc, He didn't laugh, Nah, don't buy it, Gotta be a reason Better than that Why you keep on Bothering me, Ignoring me, Hastening your mortality? *Doc, done my time, Sentence served, Now I'm just coasting, Waiting for the day, When I get summoned.* *Looking for a new view, Looking down on the young ones, Staring down, at them struggling, For the exact right word, To place just so on their computer Screens/screams, I can be the rustling noise In their ear, They call inspiration.* **That will be Part II, That is what I will do, When your forecasts Come true. So what me worry, I got jobs done and to do, And I can do 'em well Just about anywhere, But I visit you, cause you, Are a righteous one, Cause you care.** And I will be watching you too. 5:38am

Let me invoke the Devine Muses Who sits on Mount Helicon Cherishing the arts of poets and artisans Whom they immortalized By guiding their pen; I implore your aid In completing this poem And several yet to conceive, Fill in me the empty; The lack of words, metaphors, smilies And tropes to cover emotions. O holy! Devine Inspire my mind who craves fame Aspire this pen to write truths name, Fill it with the ink of courage; No compassion nor fear can divert It from unraveling the hidden. O! Symbol of purity and keeper of sacred thoughts You shape a bud into a plant And by your one breath comes the spring; Leaves, flowers, and fruits all, Same way breathe unto me Give me life and aim To make this time count And unconsciously— like great poets, Metaphysicians and alchemists, Mark my name and work in this world.

Invocation - to the Muse
There are more things That are not things Than there are things That are things. Potential is a powerful, Abundant resource. To tap into the Unknown, uncharted, Unachieved, departed - And introduce it to What it means to Be - Makes every artist A midwife. Without the great alchemists - The artists, the dreamers, Visionaries, poets, musicians - Those who enter into Akashic Records Like a library - We would only ever have What has already came to be. Like a technical computer reality. Art brings us closer To the cusp of Life. Mother Earth is the greatest artist I've ever known. Being Human means Being an artist. Our Mother may soon Scold us For coloring all over the walls. Making an artist takes time. In the Universe, There's plenty of that.

The lot of us strangers trying too hard to stay aloof in a narrow corridor plagued by awful trendy folk music blaring out of unseen speakers and I shrouded in silence wore it a pseudo-epidermal layer taut force field writing this poem so to be a little more pretentious than most by opting not to check social media and the selfie I posted this morning not sure how many likes it's gotten since an hour ago but I'm not going to check yet Everyone here looks so miserable and it's barely 8 AM the Kate Gosselins and Ben Afflecks grab their coffee like a servant grabs the King's goblet to test for poison there's this mumble of a thank you seeping out of frozen lips and half opened eyelids harnessing dull hazy eyes and they drudge back to their hybrid cars with their five dollar savior and amble down the gaping highway that consumes their soul and all the while shoulders never touch and eyes never meet and we stand idly in the waiting room watching the alchemists conjure up our poison thinking about our selfies and how much we hate ourselves and our lives but honestly I just wanted my first pumpkin spice latte of the season celebrating the first cool day of the year in my denim jacket I resurrected with glee out of the elated closet in the middle of September so I say Beware you miserable cretins you obligatory acolytes of the virulent elixir one day you'll wake up and no amount of coffee will purify this cesspool you've lain yourself into like a regretful baptism you didn't believe in.

As she lays bare ''Tis not just her eyes That sparkle amongst stars. Her skin reflects candle lights As amber skin mixes With olive tones. hourglass sand falls with my jaw Drying my bottom lip with nerves Yet excitement and lust. Feather like touches tingle Every sense of being alive As our hearts murmur in time. Palpitations even match rhythm In this alchemists dream bond That doesn't exist on the periodic table. Our heats radiate screaming, As your goosebumps on my fingertips Tickle me back, teasing my nerves. ''Twas the night I finally realised My heart could once fly again And you were the one to make it. Even a singular night felt like forever, Grasping our chance, and gasping With pure, destined passion.

Mysterious Exotic Goddess
His palm is a sepulchre, It holds captives and sun-rays. Macabre consolation fractured his skin. He who embalms the petals of my words, to paint forlorn attempts. With keen acumen he carves the coffins And adorns the figures of decay. As alchemists, he works, to convert base spirits into colours; Immortal for all the decades of disdain. His palm is the afterlife, It keeps hummingbirds and streams. Unholy droplets cured his cells. He who puts me on hold, like soulless novels on his shelves. As soothsayers, he says, "You count your pulses; no longer."

Alchemists, behold. I have found your precious gold. I have found the fleeting fame of immortality. It isn't found in baser metals, But rather in the ink; The blood of the souls of ideas. My pages stem from me, A lifeblood to my thoughts, As it ever was and evermore shall be. I adopt these begotten thoughts which I had forlorn before I kept. Some inevitably left me behind, To never quite be forgot. They'll follow me eventually, And catch me in some quiet unexpected café. Do you remember me? Will you remember this? Or will I fade again this time Into your mind's abyss? I must stop. Before all the oceans of ink That are in my heart Dry up before they bleed. A tragedy. Or perhaps a romance, a comedy. We would never know.

Oceans of Ink
Alchemy is the art of the far and near as is poetry. Prima Materia. ****** alchemists groping, questing. The Face of God. Omphalos. The Chapel Perilous. Lost path through invisible forest. Hazard. Base metal to gold. Ignorance to wisdom. Crucible of transformation. The Rosy Cross. Inner distillation. Metamorphoses. Essence. To be bathed in the breath of infinity. Crystalline. Quantum foam. Particles. Waves. Plenum of possibilities.      Moving through the world of illusion,      seeking the sacred glory of fusion.

Words, Worlds, Chaos, Cosmos
I must read! For the words that drift across my consciousness --lights that pierce dull eyes-- are not of my own creation; they are spoken by the celestial voices of time, and time immemorial. I receive these graces bountifully, the more and more I ravenously consume pages upon pages of genius: The jongleurs who entertained in the king's courts and danced and sang in His Majesty's presence, The alchemists who toyed with heretic incantations and cauldrons full of curses in their gloomy dens, The madmen and women who succumbed to madness and therefore in turn were blessed by madness, The monks who sat hunched over fading scrolls and interpreted scripture in the ancient libraries, The scribes who sharpened their tools and carried their stone tablets like a cross. I must write, yes, but first I must read.

I Must Read! (In response to 'I Must Write!')
Take an ancient iPod (click wheel!), splash a few words on Craigslist, wait a short while and it transforms into fifty dollars which morph into a bottle of fine Tennessee whiskey, a haircut, cigarettes and change. Economists call these transactions. Alchemists called them transmutations. I call them proof that miracles still exist in the ordinary. I will now have a drink, light a smoke and luxuriate in just what is... ~mce

Ordinary Miracles
We are at the mercy of blood alchemists. They turn lead into gold and war into paper. Their sacrifice based sorcery transmutes our possessions into theirs. They just need death in the equation as well as our placation. The blood alchemists defeated the defensive zealots to establish a new leader. Their new leader had devised a formula for turning bigotry into power at the expense of sanity. He crafted a potion to control the minds of the malleable that poisoned his brain with paranoid fantasies. In the fascist alchemist's perception, all protesters become demons in need of exorcism. Transformers and electromagnetic waves carry his insane demands to Ukraine. He demands the death of a statesman expressing contention. This is the formula for turning dissent into fear. This is the concoction that turns power into silence, he seeks to suffocate his enemies in dirt. Followers of the fascist alchemist believe he's a god who can do no wrong. Townspeople see through this facade trying to explain he's flawed to mind controlled dogs. His spell is stubborn so citizens start sticking to strife after he obfuscates what's wrong and right while a politician's life hangs in the balance. Conflict is conformed into cover as he uses fear of the other so subjects won't see his gunners killing our Yemeni brothers. He buries our problems in dust, that once unsettled, erupts into a noise so loud we can't call him corrupt. Ignoring the will of man he'll even **** his clan if they still his plans. His henchmen drenched in blood are as expendable as the foes he shoves. Summoning a power vacuum, a portal to autonomy, all the cronies crammed in his chaos cabinet are ****** out one by one. So this attempted assassination is the final straw once the magistrate catches wind of his shockwave sins. The blood alchemist must attend a hearing where enemies and allies alike adjudicate his egregious actions. The hearing will be dictated by what seers see for our future. The verdict will be determined by the brain washed judging the brain washer. Before dissent could materialize into resistance, the blood alchemists slowly eroded justice until a force field formed to protect the trickster's horns.

How can one person be the solidification of all my dreams, Like when you open that box there is fragrance of peace, Of the meaning of life, of the significance of each breath, Like a little fluffy cloud that picked you up from despair and took you to wonderland, Like a little boat with flippers that waded through troubling waters for you, A giant mountain that gave you vertigo but stunted your ignorance, A dangerously deep ocean that sunk you in the serenity of truth. A magnificent, shiny stone, precious among the alchemists, A knowing touch, a trust so profound, Condensing all of my life in his palms, Like delivering me to the other side, Like I have seen the face of God, and that was it, I said, take away my name, take away my existence, Be it that this man has made me known what life is. A sacred haven for my scandalous secrets, Incessant rants and causeless regrets, A fierce champion, an astute philosopher, A pocket of sunshine, a partner in crime, Reason for my light, reason for my tears, Reason for my smiles, reason for my fears. I saw myself in his eyes, neatly wrapped in a tear never fallen. While they called me a hopeless romantic, I thanked my heart because it wasn't - it was a seat of hope and desire. True to my name. And his heart was a seat of love and wisdom. That was protected from the world's desires. But how utterly beautiful now to give away to anonymity, Because my existence cannot be defined or held together in a few letters anymore. Amid that truthful presence. But the most important, The source of my purity, The depth of my kindness, Beacon of my wisdom, How can one man be... But he is. But he is..
