"allude" poems
The downward momentum is clear to me now. The engine has built up a full head of steam. I’d try to stop it, if I knew how. The fires of industry must burn on somehow; they tend to burn brightest when fuel is extreme. The downward momentum is clear to me now. When currents are surging, we shouldn’t allow the jingoist fringe to swim in the mainstream. I’d try to stop them, if I knew how. Civility means more than I can avow, but poems can only allude to a theme: The downward momentum is clear to me now. Each click of a mouse that shouts holier than thou is a cog in a treacherous clockmaker’s scheme. I’d try to stop him, if I knew how. We worshipped the circuit and forsook the plow in search of a false technological dream. Our downward momentum is clear to me now. I’d try to stop us, if I knew how.

If I Knew How
There are many definitions of pride, All in which, are perceived from a side, Notable opinions indeed when we’re addressing the dogma that arise when mind project words that express one; wise, However, it’s all contrary to me, Pride isn’t something relating belief, It can’t be put aside if it’s beyond side; choice/time, Egoist defined when declined, rejoice inclined, I can’t respond to a situation, There’s no resolution when living unconditional and uncertain, I am beyond interpretation, I do not allude in illusions and wonder why they’re certain, Abracadabra Hocus-Pocus... Omm, “This State Farm jingle isn’t workin,” AHP; “Magic”; Ouroboros, Analytical Hierarchy Perspective on Serpent, “They have power; They influence the course of events with supernatural forces” That’s Magic? The law of attraction; influencing life with thoughts; Quantum Mechanics, Force is, Say “attract it,” Demographics defining diplomatic, power be to the tree that’s aristocratic, Problematic if geographic determines what’s democratic, Tragic when ethnography constitutes what’s archetypal and habitual; A classic ritual opposite of obsolete; of course bigotries automatic, Bring back the art of holographic, I’m leaning back like Crack if it’s dogmatic, I do not understand how we understand species before intelligent and acknowledge intelligence like we never had it, As if dyslexia was a natural condition; as if this ability was somehow previously hidden so with awareness became magic, Freedom of speech, “But I don’t like your words, sir” Freedom to be, “Those are not the clothes I prefer, sir” Being discrete, “He’s not in my position, he must concur” Oh, What is believed? They’re obligated to assumptions, so they infer most- Too much pride will **** a man, By picking a side he’ll lose a hand, If using his pride he’s sure to win, If losing his mind; insane a friend, Clueless of time; he’ll never die, Til P take a Ride, and replace his pride with another man’s.

The living reality of a metaphor, almost every ounce in-taken, Every nuance, every pronounce, measured, weighted and weighty, Fluid or firmament, each encapsulated, prior to release, scaled, Tabulated, ordered, noted, recorded, and ultimately judg-ed. Totality of it all, the varied quantities of the ingested nutrients, even the forecast of the future, if every day was a metaphor for like todayDO I speak of the day's headlines? Of the quantity and nutrition that passes through my lips? Or The surround sound of the surrounding sounds of this day, the flocks of bandito geese who exist only to torment, the landscape working crews, with their tools, like a 7::00an wake up buzzing about, for the entire street, going house to house, looking for itinerant grassy knolls of patches of bright green, overnight sprung up and needy to be guillotined, laundry to do, rugs needy for clothesline screaming/beating or merely super fast vacuuming; they, hawking their skills available for the old and infirm, or the fatty catty cattle lazy, (somewhere in there is moi); and the decibels of their machines, the rat-a-tat of their rapido, voluble speech that feeds me poetry by the ounce of their laughter, but more exactly of, What do I speak, to what do I allude? Why all and none, everything and specifically nothing, for the metaphor is meta! (1) It is life itself, from the quarter teaspoon to the overflowing bath, it is life at its most incremental, the moment of flushing face, the second of ah ha! recollection, the, long term trends trending, the flatline of my EKG, the weighty pronouncement of my talking scale (you've been bad), IT IS THE EVERYTHING that is measurable, weighable, isolatable, defined;  it is our existence of our each & every of action and inaction strung together like a necklace and a chain We are metaphor, reality, is, the script, which is the product of you. scriptwriter…/

The Measuring Cup (The reality of a metaphor)
The living reality of a metaphor, almost every ounce in-taken, Every nuance, every pronounce, measured, weighted and weighty, Fluid or firmament, each encapsulated, prior to release, scaled, Tabulated, ordered, noted, recorded, and ultimately judg-ed.

My Strongest, My Weakest My strength where it be my weakness My weakness, it seems to be my strength Alone on a bench of thoughts Pulling out memories as straws ******* out the moments so I don't feel numb again Waiting for the sun to shine At night I look for the brighest star At home I wait for the hour of glory I write futuristic promising romantic stories Searching and digging into the pit of opportunity Grinding and drilling so I can find what the world has for me Is the rock a diamond uncovered? Is the diamond a rock long discovered? What good am I in a hopeless world? How strong am I to be still standing? I have been blinded by pride and reputation The chances flew right past me This was my weakness An illusion which seemed to appear as my power Only to allude me and send me to the depths of hunger How do I survive in this incessant famine My strongest, my weakest Is my prowess both a strength and a weakness Is my power a fist that concentrates my potential, filters all doubts and confusion, then send me back to a writer's rhythm? For the muscle of me, what is love? For the scars on my back, do tears set a heart free? On my back are scars which smymbolize the pain The pain caused by those who have turned their backs on me The muscle of me a solidified lump of heated chemistry Chemistry broke for the vision was divided For one side a poetic love affair Another a fling of **** and ego boost Lies lie hidden in a black book of truce The tears shower and the pain overshadows, and the lies fly out and the book burns Nothing left but hurt, resentment, hunger and thirst A chance of love comes again and again I am underrated Shots that succeed lack poise and weight I levitate onto the pillars of loneliness The trial gives me cold but also clarity A fool never unless my heart learns to jump again and I, I will set it free. Is this a mere cry due to weakness? Is it a last strike so I can find my strength again? All is revealed and I slip into a stream I am on the prowl once more and I will never be the same. But soon I will find, the lines that divide Strength and Weakness And the balance therein I am in it and I search for the limit... The limit within the dimensions of existence's summit.

I walk the empty road of hurried days the dark holds opportunities that the light burns through. Nerves have been narcissistic in that self-loathing battering that I promised you I wouldn't commit to again. is it different if you're a witness? Hiding isn't part of the agenda, if you could call irrationality an agenda. here's to touching upon a few points in which I don't show all sides. I'm nervous to talk to the people who make me happy and I'm jaded to their presence, because I'm a modern-day gatsby with a touch of bukowski (or maybe a slam) and all I want is for  this romantic inside of me to give up on the struggle and give in. I want to let her form allude me because it's not important, she just wants recognition for the fact that she has an education and knows how to use it. I'm just going to let my words smash onto the page, maybe edit before a show, maybe not. Probably go drink a beer on the local trail and stare at the back yards of the wealthy and sharpie in an eye ball on the cement brick on which I set my empty bottle for company, because flowers don't get far in foam. Nostalgia here we are again, this time there's no search for meaning, I know you completely and ever since we've met you've refused to let go (somewhat of a curse, yet I love you). If I want to let myself be free, then I have to let go of others judgement. If maybe for a second I didn't think of what others thought about me and I didn't think about them to occupy the empty space, then I would truly return to the person I was before my self-esteem plummeted beneath all that I knew to be right and wrong. Before it hurt to write my feelings because of the fear that what I wrote wouldn't be good enough, or long enough, no matter how many compliments came shooting through me. "I forgot, you're bad at accepting compliments." I don't want that to be true, I don't want to beat myself up over the fact that someone else has great beauty simply because I am blind of my own. Self-love, here I come, it'll help me live life without tangles.

I scream as unrealistic apprehensions distort my perception. A phenomenon! Discretion dissection, every line you sing- rings solely of deception. Complex and intricate- a "homicidal contemplation." A mathematical equation, dividing every claim, my undeniable calculation. Allude confrontation, as lying eyes recite, despite self validation. My fear, it- dwells here, amongst the impatient. Perplexed and deranged, I am your- "recycled replacement."

Always Be Your Number None
When my height is matched only by my age,the sage told me, 'that I will have found an ecstasy so rare,that no one will ever, have ever been there. I count the rings as if I am a tree but ecstasy eludes me, as I knew it would. I could have counted grains of sand and after,started on the rice or carved upon a cuckoos egg,something very nice,just to let the cuckoo know,that we know why she builds no nest. I have festered long enough and boiled up in the glare of a staring midday sun,it's time and time has just begun to interest me, never mind the ecstasy, that will come as surely as the night begets the day,one day my day will arrive in all its splendour. This is the agenda that I look towards the sky and pray for, a gender difference in her magnificence and I would bow before this maiden,laden as I am with all these wantings in my head. I read once in a book, that all it took was just a look and then we're trapped,wrapped inside her spider web,carried off and eaten in her silken bed,but I would like to try it anyway,come what may my day will run before the settings of another sun and I will taste that which is fun or I will die, in contempt and contemptuous of my inconsistency,I allude again to my search for ecstasy and is it that my eyes or indeed my body fail me,when she hails me from her sanctuary? and I see only what I want to see, something that the sage had been careful not to tell me, fruitless. On the tree of evolution, I am just some insects ignorant secretion and as I wait for some predetermined 'who dares wins'completion I count again the rings.

it was a quarter past 11 when the silhouette of the steam locomotive changed in its inertia, and i was left standing in dense smoke attempting to connect neurons to nerve impulses. my train was leaving and i was not aboard. the sprinting algorithm of my prior steps had come to allude me and I am left pondering as to where these moments had gone. As overextension of one's arm defies the boiler pumping steam, it's thermal radiation forcing me to become The Contortionist. with chills stepping up my spine, taking residue in each vertebra before ascending, crashing and descending, as contact with hand and train is made, and relaxation comes with it. i sense the gentle acceleration, as this safety net of relaxation fades. my weakening muscles struggle to become satanists of physics and momentum gained is lost in equilibrium

The Contortionist
Snow's melted, and all she's got left is the cone, the skeletal bone streets, where she was yesterday once so Snowwhite pretty. Mountainous mounds of **** from canine and human kind allude to beasts that roamed these streets in nights gone by. They thought their tracks and cigarettes butts were covered in a cloak of snow, but sun can't wash away sin. All she's got left is the grit, beneath fingernails, iron rails, bitumen - Pech! - from clinging on too long to yesterday.

Winters Day, Hermannstr.
You said there would be a next time and in that moment I wondered if there wouldn't be and there wasn't is that my doing or was it all inevitable did there have to be a next time that wouldn't occur it was never going to end easily so what if it just never ended what if by next time you didn't mean next week or next year but sometime down the road if there's always a next time then nothings truly over right? It's amazing the lack of finality in it all I just can't let it end I'm obsessed with writing story book endings with characters I know all to well Happily ever after isn't an ending it's a cop out nothing ever ends well that doesn't make sense if something was so great why should it end which leaves two possibilites A it was never that great to begin with or B it hasn't truly ended yet My heart wishes it was B but my mind knows it's A which ***** it does do you think the eiffel tower was the first thing the french came up with there must have been other suggestions right? other options that didn't allude to that great big beautiful tower i'm getting drawn into the abstract but the point stands the eiffel tower is an iconic message but at a time it was nothing just an idea behind an idea maybe nothing is what we want it to be maybe we build our own diorama's and view life how we see fit it would make sense you see what you want but if you turn around you'll see the world for what it is not the candy coated box where you dwell but an open room where objects lay where they lay for no other reason than that they lay I'll never be perfect I know that but I think I'll always try to perfect my world make it better... for me of course but the nobility is just in it's own right you're too random you don't fit the script so maybe you should have never read lines in the first place

I throw comments to the wind Ignorance keeps them afloat I no longer take to heart ******** gliding from your throat Your words grow weak They wear thin Confidence becoming strong Don the realization that Your home is where we don't belong Insults get scattered like leaves Falling from bare branches Thoughts flow from your mind Never-ending negative avalanches Ashes I have been buried under Remains of each mistake Not charred hiding places but a jail Out which I must break Gotta keep from accumulating Passive movements difficult to avoid Hit walls hardest speeding fast Crash like earthbound asteroids It's great you are switching directions Patterns easy to accurately predict Mild Temperate Always fair-weathered Around us come unhitched You loved us once.. Has that gone? Distracted by vultures' dying food Rumors Carcasses of gossip they feed on Believing tails they allude We are doing good We are just fine Have a job and a roof overhead Everybody underestimates what we can do By 30 we'll probably be dead I anticipated this thoughts arrival It still doesn't feel quite real Stuff packed in bags and boxes Across the porch surreal We'll take pride and possessions Say farewell spread with awkward "ums" Mumbling how one day soon We will spend some time that never comes

Pride And Possessions
We have our allotment, our bit and our share, an instant, a moment, it can seem so unfair. I'm running and chasing, I'm trying to subdue, theres no way to stop it, it can quickly allude. It's often just wasted, or squandered away, and feel so eternal, like a long lonely day. The cost, you can't buy it, and it's easily misused, It's treasured and priceless, and can never be reused. No matter, how badly, you try and hold on, you can't even touch it, then it's suddenly gone. So just make the best, and do what you can, sieze every small moment, in this very small span.

Never enough.
say for example, that you love to play baseball. [it is your favorite thing in the world, and you're quite good at it, too]. and before your game, your coach says to the team, "if we win, i'll take everybody to Pizza Hut!" upon hearing this, the players' faces light up- each one can taste the delicious stuffed crust that awaits them, and visions of breadsticks dance through their heads. the coach even brought a coupon book to allude to their possible futures... just before the team takes the field, the coach pulls you aside and says, "actually, i'm going to take the whole team to Pizza Hut even if we lose." well, you would know right then that outcome of the game is irrelevant, but the true joy of playing comes from competition regardless of winning or losing, so you vow to play your best game ever. however, everyone else on the team, not knowing the ultimate truth, will play very seriously, but with great anxiety and nervousness. they desperately want Pizza Hut, but know that they might not getting it. this game is the most important thing in the universe, and it is the most serious test of all time. every at-bat is tense for them, each fly ball could result in ultimate damnation. nothing is fun. with tension and anxiety, they strike out, play conservatively, and don't take the risks that make the game enjoyable. quickly, the team finds itself trailing by a few runs, and sweating profusely because of it. you, on the other hand, would feel more relaxed during the game. you would swing for the fences, knocking a couple out of the park, steal a base or two, make a diving catch. play your best game ever. you can do this comfortably because you realize that you're just playing for fun. you're going to Pizza Hut after game, whatever the outcome! soon, in your exuberance, you'd let slip the secret to a couple other players. you'd tell them, "guys, we were always going to Pizza Hut, let's just have some fun while we play this game." most of them rejoice! [a couple real serious ones doubt you and resent you. you'd surely smile, bend a knee, and applaud their solemnity.] but in your state of joy you include the doubters, and you let them believe what they will until the final innings over. you think, they'll wake up soon enough. with the last out made and the last run scored, maybe you look at the scoreboard and see yourself in the lead, maybe you are a few runs behind, but the smile on the coach's face says it all: the peace and joy within you brought into your world happiness... ... and a large pepperoni pizza.

[a couple real serious ones doubt you and resent you. you'd surely smile, bend a knee, and applaud their solemnity.] but in your state of joy you include the doubters, and you let them believe what they will until the final innings over. you think, they'll wake up soon enough. with the last out made and the last run scored, maybe you look at the scoreboard and see yourself in the lead, maybe you are a few runs behind, but the smile on the coach's face says it all: the peace and joy within you brought into your world happiness... ... and a large pepperoni pizza.

Crying under the covers half hoping that you suffocate is not cute. Breathing into a paper bag because you can't breathe the air that everyone seems to inhale so easily is not pretty. Ruining yourself on the outside to fix whats on the inside is not beautiful. I don't care how many line breaks you add, how many fonts you change, how many pictures you can etch into your skin. It is not something to allude to.

Misguided Beauty
We all need that social inclusion The man at the top The outcast in confusion Bruised and abused and begging for some form of input. The social media is shut For a few. So we have to go out and walk while we relearn how to talk And to interact. Backed into a corner we have no other way But to get out there And make somebody's day Whadaya say? Are you in for the long haul Or are you going to bail? Back to the laptop where friendships don't fail They're just discontinued. I allude to myself When I talk of friends off the shelf A Twitter,a Facebook commodity An Oddity. We need the contagion of spoken word orations to retain some form of relations Or we might as well just grunt and give life a groan. Moan if you like which you can in the zoo (Facebook to you) But we have to converse Yes,I know it's perverse But what else can we do?

I smell something and it really stinks, like truth from liars, I cant believe. It's putredness defying spray, it's lingering won't go away, it follows me, I cant allude, and all my friends they can't subdue, their noses burn, and eyes they water, water yes I need some water, to clean my self, and start again, cause people don't like filthy friends.

Filthy friends.
She's just touching the surface reaching no more than her own pain losing days trying to wash her tear stains the world's wishing her to rise above look in their eyes and see the truth to see what they try to allude there is no straight way, no easy route and everyone is the passenger of the same boat looking for the very same perfect coat But no one will get something which is not theirs fate has decided everyone's own roadmap there are some small steps, some big traps Wait for the check points, rather than all stones the game of the life, all to achieve and leave don't just halt at one step to grieve because she's just wasting her time.

Spotlight on the windy mistress Her pirouettes stir petals Leaves rise and fall at every somersault Impressing the seven devils Each one malefic in a different sense Eloquent in a heavy mist They allude at their brethren sins Blight corrodes a suggestive audience Death’s caress plays maestro in the sound check When the carrion pick sinner from the jest of what’s left Our windy mistress will play tribute To the harlequin slaughter

Vague F J McCarthy on Nov 3, 2009 We are here and we are speaking,but your meaning is unclear. You allude to situations with out ever going there. We dance around the subject, trying hard not to commit. Suggesting innuendo’s in the statements we omit. Why can’t we just this once, speak openly and true. Perhaps that is a talent we have never learned to do. The hunter and the hunted switching roles from time to time. Never letting out our secrets,just a foggy misty rhyme. Ever do you torture me, with this circuitous verbal plague. Answer me this question, Why must you be so Vague.

the klaxon carols of your grief belie the golden pipes of your madness. the cherubs embedded in your lost happiness slip through cracks in your voice. James Joycean. the fugue, your discord dims, seeps through the gauze of your field dress. your wound holds the root note oozing Rorschach ~ Rachmaninoff jungian etudes allude to a deep you at the bitter end gnawing on sweet bones to marrow sip from the holy grail and - a humble pagan *** i greet you at the airport, barefooted. found you talking to a cloud in your blue sky ***** it was shaped like an anvil cloud in your iris watched as you forged lightning bolts - fit to hinge heaven's door. we had the same flight at two different altitudes. and i loved you more.

The Klaxon Carols Of Your Grief
To separate the word from it's identity Is quite the delightful mind game How things are agreed to be described or named is just convention for communication; a key, for organization of knowledge. Nothing more, less, and neither. While unable to negate this absurdity, ultimately, why bother? For example, the universe, or reality for that matter, is not "good" or "bad." It just "is" and, thus, not even that (by "that" I am referring to the aforementioned "is" of course, but also the formal definition of "that," however, I also ironically don't mean that either by "that" as I mean nothing, yet I also don't mean "nothing" by "that" as I intend "nothing," "is," and "that" to be both metaphorically and literally interpreted while also neither simultaneously, which is seemingly contradictory). Did you follow that? I apologize, but it's a paradox to try and explain this concept/whatever about words with more words, thus I can only hope to allude to it or otherwise imply it. Lend me your ear again, or your eyes I suppose, but also neither... Sorry! One more time: A palindrome isn't even a palindrome by it's own literal definition, but it's literal definition is also that of a palindrome. The word "palindrome" exists both as a palindrome and not a palindrome and also neither simultaneously. Schrodinger's cat, but no, too, and also both and Gorgias, Parmenides, Zeno an

Reductio Absurdum The Nature of Things
Were has it gone It’s gone, it’s gone away Where, where has it gone and will it return I do not know, can’t say yes, and can’t say no, so maybe But not today, today it remains away, it continues to allude Tomorrow perhaps Perhaps tomorrow is a new day bringing a new perception A new day to wait to hope to pray please come back tomorrow Waiting silently for its return, To the horizon gazing Cry out come back, come back, come back please Only a whisper is heard through the racing of thought Please come back

An Intrepid Adventure into the Abstract Mind of a Lost Soul
say what you mean mean what you say use your words to confuse although i try my best to understand you try your best to prevent that its difficult to know how someone feels when their emotions have been twisted and contorted to fit into a verse manipulation through words is bittersweet allude to what you want and how you want it but never come out and say it cowardly or brilliant its perplexing to wonder if someone methodically goes about writing their poems hoping the reader will hang on every line ponder about the choice in every word will the poet effectively convey their message? is that even their wish? i hate asking questions i know will never be answered but i refuse to stop investigating i must examine all the things so here i sit my eyes moving left to right line to line verse to verse stanza to stanza and i hope i hope that i comprehend i hope that i can appreciate i hope that i have received your message i just hope the message was for me
