She earned the title Nine Days Queen, But hitherto, she was just Jane. Just Jane, and she had no idea That when she married the son of a duke, A plot was forming around her to steal the crown. A crown she did not yet wear, But inherited when the King was gone. She rose to power instead of Mary or Elizabeth Through an amended line of succession; She was never meant to be Queen. The plots and plans and goals of others Led to the end of Lady Jane Grey. Mary conquered the throne with little effort And Jane was one of many to be sent to death By the woman history calls ****** Mary. Nine days was the length of Jane’s reign, Unscrupulous were her advisors. Just Jane, she had no idea what she was: A pawn in the games of those around her, And she was never meant to win.

Jane
Sat on the sidewalk. A sandwich board conveyed a message, it was penned in his blood. The darkest dog's sat between his legs. Crouching reluctantly at his sad master's side. So many people passed him by. Not one single soul  ever met his eye. And so she came, parked herself on the pavement, his pavement. She smiled at him, stroked his dog, whose hue instantly became amended. His  darkest dog wore a coat of gold, donated by affection. She wanted not a lover,   and he was grateful for a friend. Nobody ever gave him the time of day. She made him sparkle, by sharing hers. Fresh hot coffee flowed from his mug. Well a heat protected paper cup. She gave him chocolate and a hot sausage roll. The woman with the caring streak and that Godforsaken *** Her actions made him whole. (c) Livvi

CARING
Near a town of history untold Where everyone knows each name Wooden behemoths - obliviously old Each unique but each the same It was meant to be a perfect day Of tranquility through the trees Instead, the sky is brood with grey And the leafs flow as they please Alone, in nature's splendor spilled In a rainy wilderness, seldom seen The birds and insects grow suddenly still In a spread silence of the green Like eyes embedded in your back You sense the stare of something sour The mood hurries to horrid black As you quiver into a cower In bending branches blended Creeping in creases - camouflaged Nature's imbalance to be amended In the forest's full mirage Witness a terror appearing Frantically floating from afar Emerged in echoes and vaguely veering Black, bleak and bizarre A malevolent, monstrous maw Snarls of hunger, habit, and hate A malodor of meat, reeking raw A violently increasing heart rate From frozen still to fearfully shaking You are manically mesmerised Your pupils promptly dilating As you and the beast lock eyes Your meaningless attempt to run From a stride to a collapse The beams above crown the sun As the twigs around you snap A soar of pain as you hit the ground Chest cavity cracked open As you faint, you hear the sound Of a language never spoken. Gutted and gargling gore Eaten by nature's nightmare Convulsing on a forest floor Indifference chokes the air It's just another perfect day Of tranquility in the trees The rain has stopped, the leafs still sway With the cooling, comfortable breeze

Faithful to the end Amended
The crystal was perfectly aligned. It exposed an image of the day I left seamlessly. But it also echoed the future, the design of tomorrow. I wouldn’t follow my wildest dreams, but I couldn’t say the misuse was improbable. To the next phase in my elegant maneuver, I gather the strength from my abysmal insides. Wide open were the gates of hell. I withheld. Then continued, as the outline of forever, forever guided me.   Time was traveled. And as passing eras bettered my intellectual design, I redefined the reality of Sir Hawkins. Time travel. So true. My speed was increasing, as was my very corpus. *And as it did, so I transcended.* Amended  such as our legitimate antiquity of the dickity desire. The feeling of an outwordly choir singing you to sleep while injecting you with futuristic methyl-amphetamines. I dreamt of better things, but too late. For I've descended into tomorrow, and the decisions of the borrowed souls will cease to follow.

They’re really rockin’ in Bradford, Off the Pennine Way. Deep in the heart of Yorkshire And all round Robin Hood’s Bay. All over South Ossett Down there to New Farnley. Roast beef and Yorkie Puddings, God’s County Yay! Yull see ‘em rambling near Ilkley, Right to the county line, Sheffield steel and Wednesday – A football team so fine. Better still, Leeds United, Greatest club of all time. Yorkshire, Kings of Cricket, Oh what a boon! Get down that wicket, We’ll be champs by June. Down a ginnel or snicket, See our Olympic Champs. Coal Miner Picket, Relight those lamps. Racing pigeons and ferrets, Stereotypes tha knows. Over t’top in Lancashire, Them there’s our foes. We’re the greatest county, Our pride really glows. We know you all do hate us, It keeps us on our toes. So we’ll be rockin’ in Yorkshire, What more can I say? Us Tykes're as barmy as Barnsley, So I’ll be on my way. Paul Butters (With due thanks to Chuck Berry and also The Beach Boys) © PB 2\5\2016. Slightly Amended 14\4\2023.

Sinister ministers deliver scriptures per Illicit missions to present religious works for intrinsic worth Men amended an "Amen" to end to the verse Then apprehended the script they knew Kemet had written first I’m in the blemish my kin is a part of the sin it hurts Given my hair and skin were both considered dirt since the birth It’s printed in their gospel I’ve been getting worse since the curse It’s vivid plagiarism for the villain to get the perks

Proper Gander
i'm a nomad gone defective, heart attack erased, amended. i'm a dead leaf riding the crest of the wind, marking time by exs and favorite beverages. i carry on the bluebird's song, whisper nothings aside from sweet. you planted me within your sheets, green grow the leaves, winter, good luck with your war. let needle perpetually lock in groove, white wine nights that turn into levitating sunrises.

The Bluebirds, Deserters, and We
Dear last meaningful kiss, It's hard to start this, because long ago I was in such a bliss, I dont know what to write, but this cigarette in my sight, is counting down the end of our night The guitar is playing its final thoughts and I reflect on the what to do and not's, as I start to write the script again. People stare at me as I write this aloud, for I want everyone to know, I am not proud, that this even exists, but it does. Your face is what haunts me the most. When I stare at the coast, fantasies of memories arise, but vanish as I feel the falseness of lies, creep upon me, like a villain in a play, but these thoughts I must put away. They won't get me anywhere. Except a lonely stare, into peoples hearts that I seem to try and confide, but in this rule book I'm writing I must abide, and leave your side. I dont think you get what this hurts like, to ride a bike, into nothingness of blank words, that I reflect upon in past writing. But back to the script I keep fighting, there is no shading or lighting, just another poem that I follow. Dear the love that was never true, I wonder if your writing too, or if you even know you, cause you like to dance around this heartbreak, like an old soul tries to avoid youth, just for the sake, sake of wondering what to do next. As I write this script on my invisible paper, I have to remember too add the hooded caper, that's nestled in the shadows, that I frankly never see, and add reluctantly. I will look back and think that part wasnt necessary, but my heart and eyes are wary, of knowing when to put down my pen. This will be a sad thing to write, because night, is sadly ending, with the stars starting to fade, I must abide, with the fears that reside, that I must tap onto this screen, and make sure in this last hurrah, you dont seem mean. Dear the one who use to be the spark in my nod, I hear many applaud, but I wont let myself smile, for this love story shouldn't have ended, or maybe it hasnt just yet, and just has bended. Mind is amended, the wrong doings of past fames, I can remember the actors I write, but not their names. As I put my script into print, and watch the masses on their screen, "I must say I hate the ending myself, but it started with an alright scene." From the heartbroken kid, with love.

Mission Emotion
THE true faith discovered was When painted panel, statuary. Glass-mosaic, window-glass, Amended what was told awry By some peasant gospeller; Swept the Sawdust from the floor Of that working-carpenter. Miracle had its playtime where In damask clothed and on a seat Chryselephantine, cedar-boarded, His majestic Mother sat Stitching at a purple hoarded That He might be nobly breeched In starry towers of Babylon Noah's freshet never reached. King Abundance got Him on Innocence; and Wisdom He. That cognomen sounded best Considering what wild infancy Drove horror from His Mother's breast.

Drunk, on love. Drunk, with you. Drunk, without you. Drunk, being with you. Or drunk, being without you. The outcome is different. Drunk, being with you. makes me happy. Drunk, without you. usually refers, to being in pain. Drunk, when something, has usually changed. Drunk, on the million memories, over all the years. Drunk, spilt over, so many, many years/tears. Drunk, by you. Drunk, from you. Drunk, of you. Drunk, on those moments, that made me once smile. Drunk, until my heart, isn’t as,    F    r     a     g   I l e. Drunk, with you. Drunk, without you. Drunk, on my own. Drunk, until the pain eases, From the hurt, that you gave, that I received, Drunk, to wash away, all those feelings, while I grieve. Drunk, to forget, the love you, once gave. Drunk, please forgive me, during this time, if I rebel, and miss behave. Drunk, of you, no more. Drunk, from you, no more. Drunk, only me. Drunk, no more you. Drunk, looking forward, to what’s now, in store for me. Drunk, no more. Now, my heart has healed. Drunk, not so much needed, Putting back, that bottle cap on, and keeping it sealed. -Drunk! © By HF-Whisper 24/5/2021 10:19PM-Amended-16:03PM-11/8/2021

DRUNK ON LOVE
And then there's the blood But I can't feel my own skin A knife in the hands of volatility The sight of my own, estranged Losing a handle on reality Although it was never all that firm I’ve lost the meaning in morality As well as the meaning in this mortal boundary Was the knife in my hands cause I'm shaking In the mirror I stare, my vision is fading Is it the end again? The tiles are stained so deep in my masochism A fitting match to this porcelain heart The broken lines that I've utter may reflect the lines that I have etched on myself Cutting away the innocence or whatever was left The damage is forever unending Slipping in the broken pieces and bleeding In the hours I’ve screamed through the pain awakened Through the red, white, and black I’m escaping In remembrance of what I’ve forgotten Regrets that have could never be amended Is it the end again?

Damage (Relapse)
Standing straight in the swirling straits, A bridge - now outdated - whose chains bear great weight and history, Bejewelled with diamond raindrops that glisten in the winter sun, Lending the old bridge the look of a semi-submerged crown. This bridge is a source of pride to the islanders, Many stories are told of it, Some are true and some are legend, But one tale lies inbetween: That of a giant King chased from the island. Forced to leap across the boiling straits, Barely making landfall, Falling backwards as he did so, Watching in horror as his crown tumbled to the ground, Falling into the grey waters. Many years went by, And modern ways demanded a bridge. As foundations were laid a discovery made! Upon the shore, deep in ancient mud, Poked out a colossal rusting iron crown, News broke! Everyone spoke! The story was true! A giant King had once ruled! So, in honour of this ancient King, The design was amended to honour this crown, And that is why this bridge, in profile, Resembles the ancient coronet, Found on the shore of the waters that the Romans failed to cross. Of course, naysayers claim there was no crown, Merely publicity seekers who found an old iron fence, And who contrived a tale with willing locals. Whichever is true, The bridge is part of a glorious view, And stories abound of its construction, Like the man who walked the length of the chain, Stopping halfway to take in the view whilst making a shoe! Or of the maiden who swore that all who crossed would suffer a loss, As great as they could ever imagine. This bridge, whose beauty is unsurpassed, Is now part of a glorious past of truths, lies and legends. But forever it will stand, And many more stories it shall inspire, For it no longer simply links lands, But now links truth and myth... Am byth.

Center pressure on the tip Of the glassed pleasure, Release a million particles, Watch them rest on the air. Thousands of master dancers twirling, spinning, Sashaying their paths to refuge. Inhale, exhale. The atoms entice, capture. Pleasuring senses with alluring influences. Just like a ballerina, trapezed, Carefully and gracefully Leaning her swan-like neck Away from her poor partner, Afflicted by the contrast of halitosis. Another focus of pressure: The last of inconveniences amended.

You ask me how I find the time, But time is not the issue, For they, are all prepared, needing only recognition, For they, are all in readiness, needing only composition I see a toddler swaying, see him to disaster lurching, Somehow avoided with last second seer-like swerving, Ten times in a ten foot walk across a patio, My eyes code red at the incredible risk/reward ratio, It is nature at it most incredible, miraculous, ordinariness A young girl of ten wears a pocketbook across her forearm, In the style of an elderly woman, as she plays with Barbie, Tho her body immature, her psyche, says note my Iconology, her accoutrement, texts a message subtly, I am preteen, I am near woman, treat me accordingly Dueling iPads in bed is a poem in my head, rhymes accurate of screen reflections of an X factor that stimulates my cerebral cortex. Verbal ointment that I posses can't fix a flat tire, but sets me up for a personal review, self awareness Gone mad and with finger, on gas station floor, In the grime, words are realized/written concretely, what my heart speaks freely Within each day, miracles present themselves, Gauntlets thrown, note them well and be justified, Visions, external to my physical self, Yet product of internal chemical reactions That blow through my veins, swirling, Word leaves, on a November weekend, Windswept from a thousand directions, So you ask me how I find the time, The question proper be amended, How do the times find me, How do I know them, And why, do I share them

Would you go back in time To do or say something different? Yes. Even if it didn't change The course you chose in these last years, I would do Thanksgiving '09 over again. Actually, I would redo only one moment: We were standing in the hallway Of the house we'd been forced to rent When all our fortunes had been lost. You were storming out to greet me With a frosty, icy glare. My hand was raised in salutation, My eyes were both eager and wary. Before I knew what was happ'ning, My glasses lay shattered on the floor. Without a second's hesitation Or look or exclamation, I had run out the front door. I would that I could redo that moment! And this is how I'd hope it goes: We meet in the hallway, And your fist comes towards my face. But before you can punch My 21 year old visage, My hand will stop you And force you to look into my eyes. Then I will say, "Mom, I love you." Maybe your eyes would soften. Maybe your heart would too. Maybe you'd choose to try again At being daughter, wife, mother. Maybe you'd choose to stay. And maybe history can't be amended, Rewritten, retold, or changed. I just wish my last words Could've been "I love you."

The Last Time I Saw You
1. And so, I clamber up the heavy slope and sit alone upon a wide, flat rock. I still the voices clamouring hard within and try to listen to the air settle and breathe . . . The eagle swoops low, whirring loud beside the rocky outcrop likening its talons to sustain the hold of life . . . (this line to be amended ...sounds odd) Leaves quiver silent on massive trees obedient to nature, yet roots bold outgrown . . . Shade reaches and stretches genial arms while feel of dark and moist, fertile ground pervades . . . Air thick with teeming life the eye can't see thrums with invisible threads, linking slow tendrils . . . Quiet sky looms dignified and peers squinted while sun rays slant into pores, kiss my cheek. Beetles scamper light along the soft, red sand and not unlike them, I seek still the answer within . . . 2. Fierce fire takes up dry tinder, consumes into heated coils destroying with relish, yet offer cleansing balm . . . 3. Sudden rains refresh, glance off surprised face, upturned sweet deluge leaves all sodden to delighted heart . . . 4. I turn not away I look up to receive . . . gladly. I give such thanks fall on knees to see . . . No red sky (as in my nightmares) No lost sun No smoky horizon No grey trees No dead leaves. Only yellow sunshine Only blue sky Only green leaves Only clear horizon as far as the eye can see. S T, 8 May 2013

My heart professes perpetuity, and was so faithful to, yet my mortality minds no frame nor memory of you. This epidermis sheds and skins from disuse; need my heart evidence, might my chill-cracked palms be your proof? The contours of your constitution, all known by their names, are perhaps now amended by the passage of passing age and days. The sirens of your voice's sound, awaken me from my dreams; the symphonies of my soul's supplications, now so strange and foreign seem. My heart professed perpetuity, and is so faithful to, so should this skeleton and its dependents devoice - mon Amour; my heart remains with you.

how is the weather today, the inquiry semi-formally, mumbly delivered (in pj's, eyes closed, body turned away) and I softly smile for somewhere here the poet-boy once wrote "all my poems begin with weather" and the composing begins, which of course, is the decomposing of me-pieces into nanosecond emotions that each becomes a verses until a certain voice wise whispers "no mas" my reply, nano bytes of me, is a forecast personal and tailored to our GPS location, the bedroom "Swami says looking inside, outside too, report and retort it appears quite nice," (quietly semi-whispering, 100% chance of snuggling, followed by severe love making, its arrival foreshadowed by lighting biting and foot rubbing, and licking winds of heaving breathing, conditions, we explorers of the caves and local mounts so oft encounter on our Atlantic captive isle, and bravely sally forth to face its bullets of kicks 'n kisses) from under the covers, we hear swarming, warning bolts of snorting derision but this fire eating , most fearsome nostrillian, reptilian morning beastie noise, we hardy sailors hardily choose to ignore but lack of detail is unappreciated so our response amended: "looking outside, report and retort it appears quite nice, with 100% chance of showers of coffee and kisses" which earns me a sweetie kick all my poems, the poet-man once wrote, "all my poems end with whether" *apparently, this one as well.   oh well, oh well!* 7/8/17 8:14am

weather to kick or kiss, 100%
we've made a promise not to leave each other's side to be within and without for our heart strings to be tied we've made a promise to make sure we we're both alright i felt so much safer than ever before especially in the night we've made a promise to heal what's broken of ours every cut and wound, amended with kisses and band-aids not knowing they would quickly turn sour you've made a promise not to leave my side you've cut the strings didn't mind if they were left tied you've made a promise to make sure i was alright sleepless nights left paranoid i can't see, nor can i find the light you've made a promise to heal me, broken and scarred yet you've left me in a puddle of my pure blood it wasn't your intention to damage my core, i forgive easy anyways.

Peter (my bf) and I are at Heraclee beach for the weekend. It’s a little sliver of heaven, about 11 miles south of Saint Tropez. It’s too early in the season to swim - being breezy and 72°f - but it’s still the beach. I’m a neophyte beach *** but I’m willing and eager to learn. I’m valuable even if I’m not being productive [I self-affirm]. something poetic-ish.. *The sun’s a drowsy tyrant, not yet willing to unforgivingly scorch. The beach is like glistening sugar, the sand still cool enough to walk, rogue west winds occasionally whip it to an ankle stinging sandpaper. Majestic umbrella pines are dancing the hula. The shrub-like understory is dominated by drought-tolerant lavenders and rosemary that dense the air with perfume which complements the mediterranean brine. There’s laughter, off somewhere, like wind-chimes playing clear, just above the ever-roiling sound of the surf. Birds are everywhere, gulls walk around like they’re bored, cory float on air, like kites and petrels skim against the wind, centimeters above choppy waves. The beach isn’t crowded - French kids are still in school - but a few hardy, oiled, bronzed and sculpted bodies are sprawled on the pristine sand, like offerings to the god of leisure.* Our hotel has its own private cove, with adirondack wooden lounges under yellow parasols. Pastel blue-vested wait-staffers circle, on the quarter-hour, eager to please. “Deux (two) American Martinis, S'il te plaît! (please),” I ask, expectantly. It’s a **** beach, but Peter got an alarmed look when I joked I might go ******* “Annick (my older sister) always goes ******* I informed him. “I’d like to see that,” he’d chuckled, and when I gave him a raised eyebrow, he amended, “That came out wrong.” . . songs for this..

POEM - PAPER FILES-II   Clumps of paper around my nest What can be worse, and what is best? No one’ll ever think me a genius They think I’m just a total fanabulistus. Files and records dwell in our living space We'll be in a turmoil until most are erased Much good info is contained here. Files of many - you have no idea! The Doomsday Clock now spins toward its close Around the world one sees many foes Rumors of war are rumors no more Papers, files, all over the floor! Learning new words, many new laws The most recent gives me much pause Transhumanism - Do check it on Google This’ll surely leave your head in a noodle! People live in my files all day long I have poets, paupers, authors, Nazis, a full throng I’ve got murderers, seducers, files of White Magic, These tales, including emails, reveal much that is tragic. Scandals abound to be found in my files Even histories of those known very well They’ve traveled a long way from us Surely, now, dwelling in Hell. Genealogy takes much space in 4-drawer files The information stretches for miles and miles Why must I collect dead dust no one sees? Would that I toss ’em all, just like dead leaves. Reading does nothing but make me write Why o why can’t I finish this fight? I create more as I go along. Never, never, time for a song. Writing gets better, but quite like a curse Everything's quite good, but could get much worse The Writer's game is not very cozy Sometimes it appears to be pretty ****** lousy The hall and bedroom, closets and all Never see Light - Spring, Summer + Fall Boxes, old clothing, day/night sight unseen Time to get over it, and clean, clean clean!
