"anticipate" poems
Hope surges upward from your core and to the heart. It warms your blood as your heart crushes into itself twice every second and unbelievably, your mind starts to think of a million and one possibilities. Your hand tingles and finally, after what seemed like eons, you think you are feeling hope again. You start suppressing it out of reflex- an unconscious, uncontrollable action. You push it down, right back to the void it came from but its too late and your lips are curving upwards into a gentle smile. You anticipate euphoria -almost can feel it at the top of your fingertips and you finally let yourself believe and hope. It comes crashing down without warning. For a second, you still smile because your mind could not process the disappointment yet. Then - hurt, sadness, shock - flits through your mind. You still hold on to your hope like a child who refuses to let go of candy. Your smile wavers. But just like grabbing onto handfuls of sand, hope will fall out through your tightly clasped fingers. You realised that your hold on hope is no longer and instead, it is replaced by cold, unforgiving reality. Like an icy slap to your face, like an unexpected kick to the stomach, like a bite from a dog you have always love- that is how disappointment feels like.

Motion of the Ocean
Umm, the presence and scent of a man Magnetic attraction where his feet stands His natural body charismatic aroma Element of charms, seeping to awaken a woman out a sensual coma Is it his eyes, the soul behind his life’s mysteries Flirtation in his smile, tells me he has an undercover ****** history It is his nose that smells out my charms An enticing deep baritone voice, his spoken words, which turns me on Is it the erratic heartbeat he has for a woman, his passionate relent Stealing my breath, as he tenderly seals my lips in an impassioned moment of content The strength in his biceps His triceps Strong, yet such comforting arms An epitome of steel, circled around a woman in winter life’s storms In the cold of night, his body providing your heated warmth His chest, a hard pillow to tell your doubts, your uncertainties, your fears Pulling you closer onto it, his reassuring words eradicating your tears His intellectual mind to think as a man A stimulating, slam bam and thank you ma’am, or your personal grand slam His weakening love, taking your body beyond the stars Woman from Venus, my handsome Man for Mars His groin, and his family jewels from which it springs forth Erected compass of his wand now pointing North A woman’s reservation to tease, please, stroke, or allow it to choke His loud murmurs shadowing your moans, echoing in the wind **** I love the presence of men, and his undulated carnal sins From the first taste of honey dipped Butter *** me As his giving oral fixation is traveling free Freeing the elixir of juices that deems to flee His hairy legs as he stands to lift my weight In the shower, no wait, as I anticipate Hooking my twerking bait His physique in general…Oh, God thank you Without the scent of a man, we women would not know what to do Your presence to a woman is our earthly food Our je ne sais quoi for our every ****** mood Rather you are standing, lying still, or upside down The blissful 69 number conquered as we’re fooling around My Dream Weaver My distance heartbeat receiver His dripping sweat Droplets to my skin have been met The presence and scent of a man holds me throughout the night as our eyes finally rest

I'll be eaten alive one day: one day, i see it in my mind so close to closure along an empty street late at night (owls just retired and birds not yet up), orbs of light tethered to tall electric poles cast dappled circles on cracked pavement; illumination and safety (for that two metre radius). Stepping between them like a girl child on stones across a garden, I anticipate each missed step as sinking into sand or frightful waves. Singing drunk back-alley lullabies i'll soothe the skelebabies in their sleep, their poor crusted noses snuffled against a cold shift of air (their private torment plastered over billboards with corporate logos and dim colours, suggesting the city's lights have gone out and the local government is in frantics. That is, after all, what you'd focus on) Girl child games were so tipsy and magic (and so close to real coldness); between two orbs of light i'll slip through the cracks in the pavement. THE END. (eat me alive, eat me alive, eaten alive by the wolf at the door)

Cautionary Tale
Smashing the ice with a sledge hammer is exhausting Pounding, sweating, blisters pulsating Slowly chipping away at the vastness of frozen emotions Yet, the ice is formidable from months of winter Forced to recalculate, to innovate, to anticipate Salt has the ability to melt ice into tears of joy Unless the salt solvates in open wounds Progress freezes until nature's spring decides The sun is enlightened enough to slowly Allow thawing in his Mother's time

Cold Hearted
Doom train hurtling along Through the fog in my mind Towing freight, rectangular and oblong Dim headlights, you're travelling blind Five carriages long, excluding engine and caboose Metal against metal, spitting sparks on steel Undetermined path, rails will choose Chugging along on dirt covered wheels In the cabin, I see the light Emanating from your furnace Swallowing up coals in your gaping bite Tongues of flames licking the surface Fire breathing, spewing thick black smoke Almost unseen, against the dark of night A long plumy arm as if extending to choke And plug the remaining sources of light Meandering precariously on tracks that weave Over uncharted, unfathomable terrain Your store, so reliably you heave Worming your way through my brain What's in that cargo of yours? What lies within those boxcars? What drives you to diligently run your course? What fuels you to travel near and far? Loads of self pity, self loathing and self reproach Snaking your way to an unknown destination Screeching brakes as if a stop you approach Herald the train of dubious intentions Light is upon you, dark will dissipate Your plumes starting to lessen from your stack The dawn breaking horizon you didn't anticipate To see another charging towards you on this very same track...

Doom Train (I)
Tired eyes awaken and be at the ready... For today has come with all of yesterday's debris. Tired eyes you try but can't successfully conceal. What the beating heart is dying to reveal. Tired eyes glaze like you can't take anymore. Filled to the brim; these sullen windows to my core. Tired eyes give tears like you do effortlessly. You seem so lifeless save for the drops you carry. Tired eyes you say so much but yet the words are unspoken. I know you quietly wish for a miracle to happen. Tired eyes you reach but your arms are broken. I know you scream out silently; all that's been forgotten. Tired eyes why are you wide open but still you do not see... See the sun rising, revealing all your wants splendidly. Tired eyes I know you are but only waiting. For the picturesque view of your heart's secret painting. Tired eyes it's time and it's the end of a work day. Don't anticipate tomorrow's load; just rest as I lay. Tired eyes I am aware of sweet solace that you truly seek. Tired eyes rest now so that tomorrow you might speak...

Tired Eyes
(the gate is a crowded mess, please no special requests, be thankful you got a seat, this flight is sold out and I’m beat.   I get up and stand on my chair and say) *I give thanks for: the uncommon greatness of common sense for the steady approach of that wondrous day when kindness is neither random or unexpected, but the rule, not the exception for our opinions and deeds, that are our own, derived without coercion, born from our thoughts and observations and that we are equal to both owning them and to changing them that we live in a time that friendships can grow just through the quick exchange of words leaping bounds for eyes that see deep deeper than skin, ears that hear what those ashamed wish you didn’t, hands that grasp regardless of distance, the taste of  kisses that come easy sweet   for the  day when I at last knew, the pleasure of giving so far exceeded receiving, that giving and receiving became synonymous that I learned that the best skill to possess  is to anticipate the needs of others that my lucky position in this world permits me to act on the things for which I am thankful* that someday I will need no longer inquire, are you my poem, for the answer will be self-evident to us both

LaGuardia Airport, Thanksgiving Day Eve
Are we fated to dance to the same tune alone in our separate universes? Is it true that we must silently keep to our preordained curses? Are we destined to swoon at the beauty of the moon at differing time slots? Why were we given invisible ink to connect our lives' dots? Must it be that our lives revolve around the whims of the sun? Isn't it ludicrous that we won't see the intricate webs we've spun? Was it the plan that we exist only in our minds and hearts? Why do we have to tolerate starting when the other's ending and end at the other's starts? Has it been written that we can only afford to infinitely chase each others heartbeats? Was it foretold that we're trapped in a singular notion that never really fits? Is the game set as such that we can never emerge as winners? How is it that the ocean was made out of our tears that flowed from rivers? Why is it that with our entirety we believe but do not know? What's the reason for the path made clear but we're too afraid to go? What does it entail to possess the very least but yet you covet it the most? How do you pride yourself in something but not allowed to boast? Why do we frantically scramble to piece together jagged shards? Can't we just play this blasted deck of lousy cards? Is it destiny or cruelty to have found then lost? Why does it seem absurd that we have all its takes but can't afford the cost? Is it the thoughts that **** or the emotions that debilitate? Is it the challenges we take on or the curveballs we anticipate? Why bother when sheer folly is all it seems to be? Why tarry when the heart is free and the mind is ready? Is it ridiculous to have found myself still very bothered? Is it wrong to question fate that had always bound us tethered? Why is the good always bad and the bad becomes worse? Is it true that the harder we fight, the deeper we immerse? Has life turned to be but sad little rhetorics? Are we but performers on stages coerced into theatrics? Is it time for me to surface this one-man submarine? Will it be so that if I do, my journey would then begin...?

Benji...this is your conscience speaking... "You'll never be good enough for her, Who are you kidding? You aren't attractive enough, To obtain her love. What are you thinking boy...? Why are you trying to destroy everything left inside yourself. Do you want to be addicted to this drug? Better stop praying to the sky above... Get back up Benji, move a little faster or this storm is going to catch up with ya. I know you don't give a f**k, But you better start Or you'll end up back in that slump and this time...I'm not sure you'll get back up And pull yourself back out of that dump." Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart Just can't seem to get a grip People all around me Are gritting their teeth Waiting for my next slip Trying to anticipate my next trip That just ain't cool... Why don't you worry about yourself? I don't need your help. I've dealt with everything else on my own People catch me in public speaking to myself I'm just talking to the inner me trying to work out my inner being Haven't you ever been confused? Feeling self-accused, hurt and bruised. Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart "Benji look at you now... You crashed yourself into the ground You tried to rebound Back from the darkness of life You just drowned in the blackness inside You are losing parts of yourself Every time you're inflicted with pain Your soul melts You die a little more inside You're trying to ride this tide But you keep running out of time So you better decide If you're willing to climb This jagged cliff edge One last time." Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart ©2018 Written By Benji James

Reality is not what I see I know this. Yet, I believe what comes before me What my eyes scan. I know it is merely my mind Playing tricks It wants to fool me And laugh while I struggle through the images. I know this. Yet, I do nothing to change it. My insanity is my escape It is my way out of reality Out of my repetitive excuse of life And I feel sane in the world of the insane I know my world is a paradox Yet, I never want to leave it. I anticipate that without me It will begin to die away. My world of insanity Of my escape.

Oh sleepless night What a trick on me you play! For the reason I cannot sleep Is because I anticipate the day We build our day up To have it elapse at night But how too often a time I experience A continuance through the night Oh how unfair to me you see For nighttime is a break much overlooked Because I walk through the day quite sleepily Which is difficult in a day so overbooked Sleeping figures Rejuvenating minds Your mind is cultivating in peace While my face is forming lines Oh how I wish I didn’t get so worked up I expected this to happen Which ironically is the reason My tiredness has been dampened I lay in bed, ready Ready to try this out A pleasant sleep is all I wanted Without completely passing out How I get so jealous when You lay there and drift to rest While I’m dealing with two polar issues-- Either abruptly collapse into sleep or else from it slowly digress Oh sleepless night, you tease me so You fool with me and upset me so For when thinking of tomorrow I surely know I’m not going to be as lively as my potential. It’s like I’m a hobo on Fifth Ave Looking at the rich not realizing what they have I get excited over spare change While you collect your pay checks again and again So let’s face it, tomorrow I’ll be miserable And I’ll look forward to when the clock strikes night But then the hours I have will become considerable So I’ll lay there restlessly and drift away just before the light. So I’ll get a taste of what sleeps like But I’ll never get to experience it right. Oh you cruel, mean sleepless night! Where dwells your brother so known as the “Goodnight”?

I have not grown accustomed to the sound of your messages. Their presence did little to assure, nor did their absence cause unsettling. Today, however, I must admit that I have waited for that bell. My heart salivated at the sound of passing bicycles, hoping finally it was you remembering the love you have left waiting. I wonder: How could you have conditioned me to anticipate something that has never been constant anyway? for j.e. 013115

Did Pavlov's dog ever wait for that bell?
When life gives you lemons, Breathe Because there is only so much you can get out of lemonade. Take your time measuring The sugar To balance out The sour taste that Lingers Until after. And if you make a mistake, If it seams the sour still screams, Remember that it Exists For you to Anticipate Every next sweet sip. There will be unwanted pulp. Don't drain it out. And there will be spills, So many spills Until all sweet And all sour have run out. But wait. Because life always has more lemons To throw right your way.

I’m not lucky, I’m blessed. I don’t know about you. Don’t call me lucky, call me blessed. There’s a difference between the two. Luck comes around from time to time. Blessings are there every day. They’re staring you right in the face. Luck is something people seek to find. Blessings automatically come your way. Luck is something that happens by chance. Blessings are God’s works. They’re a part of his plan. Blessings are things that you carry with you. They’re there every single day. Lucky is something that comes along, but then it goes away. Blessings are things that are permanent. Luck is something that is temporary. Blessings are things which are heaven sent. Luck you can’t count on. Luck you can’t depend on. Unlike blessings, which you know they will always be there. You never need worry. Luck is something you anticipate, something which you wait for it to come around. Blessings are things that are automatically there. Every day of your life they can be found. Luck is basically good fortune that happens from time to time. Blessings are things you are faced with every day. You carry them with you for a lifetime. Luck is something you consider to be good that happens unexpectedly. It may come around at a time of need. But what you consider to be good luck, events can happen to cause you to see it is just opposite. It may turn out to be that what you find to be good luck, isn’t always what it seems. Blessings are that which is sent from God. They are not disguised. Blessings are brought to the light where you clearly seem them. They do not hide. Blessings that are sent from God, they do not lie. Blessings are something you can believe, something you can have confidence in. You carry them with you from the moment your life starts, up until your life on earth comes to an end. You shall carry them with you even after death, should you make it to heaven. I’m not lucky, I’m blessed. There’s as difference between the two. I don’t consider myself lucky. I consider myself blessed. I can only speak for myself. I can’t speak for you. I’m not lucky, I’m blessed. That’s all I have to say. Don’t call me lucky, call me blessed. God is the way. It’s not luck but God, who wakes me every day. It isn’t luck but God, who gives me eyes to see the way. It isn’t luck but God, who gives me a voice and mouth so that I may talk. It isn’t luck but God, who gave me legs and feet so that I may walk. It isn’t luck but God, who gave me hands so that I may touch. It isn’t luck but God, who does so much. It isn’t luck but God, who gives me everything I need. It isn’t luck, it’s God. I say it unashamed. I say it proudly. It isn’t luck, it’s God, who gave me a brain for thinking. It wasn’t luck, it was God, who gave me a heart which keeps me breathing, keeps me living. I’m not lucky, I’m blessed, in so many ways. Don’t call me lucky, call me blessed. That’s all I have to say. I’ll leave you with that thought and I’ll go about my way.

It’s not luck but God, who wakes me every day. It isn’t luck but God, who gives me eyes to see the way. It isn’t luck but God, who gives me a voice and mouth so that I may talk. It isn’t luck but God, who gave me legs and feet so that I may walk. It isn’t luck but God, who gave me hands so that I may touch. It isn’t luck but God, who does so much. It isn’t luck but God, who gives me everything I need. It isn’t luck, it’s God. I say it unashamed. I say it proudly. It isn’t luck, it’s God, who gave me a brain for thinking. It wasn’t luck, it was God, who gave me a heart which keeps me breathing, keeps me living. I’m not lucky, I’m blessed, in so many ways. Don’t call me lucky, call me blessed. That’s all I have to say. I’ll leave you with that thought and I’ll go about my way.

Partly darkened and part in light A time when the stars and sun shared the sky Bear witness to two behemoths wielding might Impending clash foreseen to go awry Two trains of thoughts charging from opposite ends Each bearing their own solid ideals Their flags that flew with conflicting brands Convictions they carry on beaten, weary wheels Almost an eternity, the time is soon Seconds lasted before they finally would meet Feeling of dread like the cloud covered moon With war cries of whistles, they would greet No possible way that they could miss War waged in steeled wills and forged metals Anticipate the moment, their couplings would kiss Unleashing a barrage of predestined reprisals Sheer destruction as they ate into each other All in tow haphazardly derailed A clash made of brute strength and power A result of when decisiveness had failed All was motionless save for the light of day The two lay dead; spent currencies in coal Fire and smoke had emerged from the fray Signifying that the two have met their goal Their cargo now freed, engaging in petty skirmish Lunging and wrestling as they fought for dominance Determination to overwhelm; never to languish Jousting fists fueled by pent-up vengeance Almost at end this long drawn battle Much like a storm to be patiently ridden out When the last of the debris should settle Then would be lifted the dusty veil of doubt The sun has now risen revealing the aftermath Shedding light on the devastation incurred Dark thoughts possess the most potent of wraths But nothing could beat the muscle of the written word Looking back I've realised the harm I've caused Found great solace in the dark words I've governed Life still hurls; it can never be paused Just dust yourself off for you're better off enlightened

To even commence to define how profoundly I fell in love with you, I would need the capacity of a thousand-page manuscript written in the most romantic idiom. Each, and every retention of us is stowed into the back of my conscious, and concealed deep into my heart. Every beautiful memory plays through my head like soft music. I would say my heart is immovable.  There are days that I try to sojourn the thoughts of you, but its intolerable for me to do so. I am so engulfed in your perfection. I do not think there has been a single day that you have escaped my thoughts. I can feel your presence with me if I ponder our memories deeply enough. Your presence weighs heavily in my heart. It is as if part of your soul occupies its crevasses, and fills my cracks. Your eyes are echoes of a hundred distant galaxies no man has ever revealed. Vast windows that reflect the constellations. My heart is certain the universe resides in them. As I begin to study your face, I feel like nothing but love can exist. Your porcelain perfection never ceases to weaken me. You weaken me with love, trust, and desire. Like the finest specimen created by the hands of Gods. As I anticipate the connotation of love, the implication is “you”. Even if the fire for what you feel for me dies, I do not reason the passion I have for you will ever dim. I do not begin to recollect if I had ever felt this susceptible. I let this passion be valued like the rarest stone. I would give up the entire world if it meant I could have you in my life endlessly. Your happiness is of grave importance to me, when I study your smile, I can overlook the darkness of this decaying reality.    Every heartbeat of time my mouth declares three unpretentious words. “I love you”. I say it like an invocation. Not one moment did my tongue express profanity against these golden words of poetry. I love you. “ I Love You” . And solitarily just you.   I wallow in my own sorrows at the thought of the culmination, when we shall one day part at death's hand. For I deeply distinguish that you love me equally, and this brings vast pleasure to my temperament. I sense security in your encirclement, your heart is my home. My heart qualms of my fragile weakness that I consume when I dream of you. You make me susceptible to the sickness of love. If love was a poem, you would be the title.

The sun awaits just beyond the horizon. Time gets scarcer as it bathes us in its glow. And our bodies can only afford to crumble to dust. All that we know, what we knew, will only be cast... Imprisoned. Within the tight confines of expiring memory. We must pave a way to a secret place. A route to safety... One that we could share. Somewhere only we know. I'll go to this place where no one can. I'll wait and anticipate your arrival at this place... A place only we know.

Somewhere Only We Know
There are many reasons to not get out of bed. Keep reading on and remember what’s been said. Now it could be a hangover from a party last night. Or recovery from pain inflicted during a fight. It could be a nationwide holiday, or a self-made holiday. Or you could be anti-social and want everyone to go away. Now you could be knocked out from the fresh fumes of paint, or maybe unbearable weather has caused you to faint. It could be a habit, something done all the time, or you could be recovering from doing time for crime. The bed’s too comfortable. The alarm didn’t go off. Graduation was yesterday. Or you want the day to get lost. You anticipate a day that’s bad all the way. You’re rebelling against your parents and you don’t care about your grades. Even if staying in bed isn’t your usual form, you could just simply want a break from the norm.

Reasons for Not Getting Out of Bed
When I am an old man I want to be a gentleman, with perfect manners, sound and articulate speech, and refined opinions founded on solid, balanced judgment. To be revered would be well, but I'll settle for respected; people are more apt to overlook your faults, and keep their expectations of you more reasonable. I would possess at least half the strength of my youth, both in body and in mind, and twice the faith, never staggering at the promise. I would be as steadfast in my convictions as I was at twenty, but with a lifetime of wisdom to back up the zeal; I would be a voice of both faith and reason. I would be mindful of the finish line ahead of me, and would be certain to possess such a rapport with my Maker as to anticipate, and not dread, what lay beyond.

When I Am An Old Man
2 weeks it's been Immersed in this world of open love Such a short time to spend But my heart feels so liberated No longer trapped by the confines of one A sole opportunity to share, give and express my love Now I can let my feelings come undone Within the safety and boundaries of mutual respect My lovers, almost three Each offer a unique chance To share this love and feel free This love is a beautiful thing I did not anticipate this formation I did not set out a number of partners to seek I entered this with no expectations And it happened to grow this way on its own I love each person uniquely No mutual exclusion, no impact Each love forms and runs deeply Individually, yet always connected through love

I touched your hand and never knew I would suddenly fall in love with you I never realized in a single moment My dream would finally come true I did not anticipate the serenity Which falling in love would bring Yet when I embrace you in my arms I felt the joy that makes one sing Every moment when you are next to me My heart feels it has found heaven I never thought I would feel this way As many amazing feelings would begin I never knew after kissing your lips My heart would come to know such pain I never thought I would be sad and happy When my heart would speak your name When I find myself waiting for you So anxious are the times embracing me But all is made to become much better By the joy in your smile I always see I never imagined when I embraced you My heart would be quickly swept away Yet I found that magic moment to happen As I received your gift of love today.
