"attainable" poems
I'm craving a man-hug tonight, initiated by strong arms picking up my under weight body letting me believe I'm re-enacting the lift from ***** dancing. And as those arms hold me close I would bury my face in his neck where after shave meets his soft pulse and the warmth of my breath. This hug would be so tight, tight enough to squeeze the pain out of my soul and be incredibly protective at the same time beating away the nightmares of reality late at night. A hug that draws out all the tears that should have been cried until my eyes run dry and start shedding all the rejection accumulated throughout this plight. An unconditional man-hug with its ends free, one not subjected to a **** in my mouth a cigarette ***** a cigarette couple of poems insomnia and a cold bed. I crave for a man-hug that will liberate me from the pathetic standards I've set for myself, of how I should be treated before handing a piece of me in exchange. One that would numb the little voice in my head which goes on and on about self-deprecating ******** bundling together all the mistakes made over the years and spanking my self-confidence until it dresses up in a short skirt and high heels and runs into the arms of a narcissist ***** A man-hug to step in and save the day when loneliness breaks in, and murders empowerment, independence and positivity in their sleep, then opens the door to insecurity and fear, who robs all hope, leaving behind intolerable darkness. I crave for a man-hug that follows through to the end with stability and consistency, like mom's cooking or my best friend, or daddy's instant reaction to defend. One that's tangible and attainable without twirling my fingers around forgotten jewellery, phone messages or a drunk memory just to remind myself what it felt like, but only to be reminded that it can never be felt again. Though I'm craving a man-hug tonight I will have no luck. Because anything with "man" in front of it, will always just be a ****

To the niqab girl whom I met in Cagaya De Oro City You were in front of me as we waited in line for hours We smiled first politely and then we began to talk, We Shared different insights in almost everything: Your face veiling practice in Islam fascinated me My headcovering as Christian piqued your curiosity Conversations turned to fashion, extremism, and Filipinos, You saw my face and I saw your beautiful eyes Yet we never asked each other's names or Facebook accounts, We were different yet somehow we mirrored each other; Different religions yet linked by passion to serve God Different ethnicity and language yet tied by nationality. It's been weeks since the Marawi siege and I think of you Hoping that every niqab girl I see in Iligan is you We were strangers that rainy afternoon of June 2016 Yet I grieve for your loss - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words are not enough to comfort you sister of the stars but May your Allah guide and protect you in these times May my Jesus cover you with His precious Holy blood, To the niqab girl whom I met in Cagayan De Oro City Perhaps we'll never see each other again in the future but Thank you for letting me see the beauty of cultural diversity And that coexistence is possible if we have open minds And living in harmony is attainable if we open our hearts.

Niqab Girl
why wait? there is so much out there, willing to be explored why wait? say hi to the cute person, you never know what's in store why wait? your dreams are attainable, you just have to reach for them why wait? stop holding back your emotions let them pour out of you soul why wait? when there is so much left to give why wait, when you can go?

waiting
I woke up one day And I rode far away And when I came back A few weeks late i decided to shape up or else, its a long ride down How often do you walk home? Or should I say struggle Distances are more attainable In mixed up situations I am too deeply rooted in thought on the topic of meditation To help this patient I am inhabiting Enter: ************* bicycles I used to find Walking uphill And walking downhill Equally awful The climb to the top Is worth the fast ride down The topic of how many hills are around And how often we choose to climb them Will not  play in this ballgame Because cycling is a sport blood doping is dope breaking news: Livestrong sponsors the pope Without a helment You would tell me I look **** As I ride with no hands Don’t worry darlin’ I knew my hair looked good too Drinking whiskey at home you can make art I made that without you It all came out of my mouth And nostrils Without you I will puke again Without you Its true Rough mornings aren’t new their usually rough without you Only because my will is strong And if I didn’t livestrong My will -  still will included you Only if I died on someone else’s terms (spoiler no such thing) In an alternate universe You could be on my bike And I’d be ****** cold sober And when that bus hit me My mom wanted to give you what belonged to me - the one thing That survived the accident Ask a few old friends I survived a few Whether you knew Or not were on it or off Always on the bottom Jake Was a snake Before I met him That’s Kona bike history Living on Without me As I age I am learning To be loyal To all sorts of objects like bikes And women that own them. Withholding without me I can't see what it would be like without me - But lets be honest Its not so as much about the bikes As it is about bliss i've seen what its like without you It true If a bus ran over my *** tomorrow The first thing it would break is my heart You could start The day I stopped Riding my bike

Women's Day
It’s amazing to do anything you please. Because in your hand lie the keys. Weigh the morality of the choices you make. Sometimes you'll give and sometimes you'll take. But what you give you will receive, And the chosen actions will start to weave, A web of a movement in the direction to, The goals set in motion for you to follow through. Anything is attainable in the right frame of mind. Time is endless when you know how to unwind.

Achievement
I saw a flower So miniscule compared to a tower But it’s beauty so superior The tower so inferior Though a piece of art Created by someone so smart But a flower wasn’t designed Nor created by mankind Instead a natural piece It’s life only a temporary lease Nothing is forever Nor constant, always an unpredictable endeavor But that’s the beauty Nature’s easily attainable duty The want, the need, to continue on As we look forward towards the next dawn

Nature vs Manmade
A Phoenix that shouldn't be caged yet is tied down with strings. Only time will tell if it can be free to spread its wings. The freedom of flying isn't attainable without sacrifices. The journey seeking for another has come to an end. The feathers one by one begin to fall, heart bleeding and its soul fading. Without attention, acceptance or love, it withers away in a fiery and phenomenal bittersweet extinction.

Wings
the snow swirled around like the carousel of her dreams unmentionable attainable covered in frost dusty frost and all she needed was a hammer to crack open the frightening lock but she giggled and her friend giggled and the snow swirled ‘round and they found themselves buried gone but they could see more for what surrounded them was transparency clear as beaming sunlight sunlight that shone light on their cheeks and snow that filled their throats with pain under a lactating sunset and the snow and the snow and the snow which grew which perspired which hardened which schemed which never ever melted so that deer tongues-- those sweet animals-- were the only products of fruitless searches that locked the friends together under the brilliance of a muzzled rainbow

I Wish This Were True
Whiskey kissed lips a forever favorite. Though love is not an attainable goal, I will let the lips, stained with liquor, whisper vacantly the beautiful things that please my heart. Time will tell of a love, so tragic, between the two souls, that should have never intertwined. But for now let us sink, back into that warm place of security. Fiery passion may not last in love. But the whiskey kissed lips, make this foreshadowed tragedy, sound irresistibly sweet.

# *I was shovelling drifted snow outside  today and was overcome  again by the warmth of that  beautiful,    deep feeling. You may never understand the need to push through the mundane and into the deep,  central Core of the one you care most about.     For you, in your current world, that is not attainable.. but for me..  looking at you.. I know you very much have that  deeply-gorgeous, extremely worthwhile attainability in you. Without connecting deeply with one such as you, I would just be sliding superficially along the surface throughout this entire 'life' here.. Knowing there is a whole world of untapped closeness lying just under the status-quo of the normal 'everyday' operating level. That is not saying we would necessarily  be ******        at all    It just means that there is,  sadly    such a huge amount of giving up  of the Beautiful    in order to continue on skating along the surface. That is why I do what I do, and say the things I say    late at night. During the day, I am operating   out there on the "everyday" level. At night,  I am connecting into the unfathomable depths of the most lusciously-beautiful gold mine I have ever known. I can't do the "surface" thing with you, Young-love..     In fact..  I won't.   You get that in your marriage, and pretty much everywhere else around you. I refuse to be a part of that tremendously sad list. You will never not be that deeply luscious gold mine.. You will never not be fully worthy of the attempt. You want to be left alone.          .. ok.* #

because of you i believed love was attainable, and that i could be swept away. but now i know it is as realistic as that infernal glass slipper, because everything, like glass, will break.

my happily ever after,
The sink clogged, with the hair I'm pulling out. The deranged dripping of the pipes on the veneer... A marvel. To see what people will do to feel like they have some sense of control... The window sill, covered in dust, paint chips, mold, The carcasses of dead flies... There is an exquisite beauty to lonliness. It's something relatable. A way of being that is attainable, but unwanted. It's just like this day,   unwanted by all. Some may though; want it. Perhaps they are simply afflicted, In need of a shoulder for their worries and a day to hold them. I don't think they would rip their hair out to do so. Not like me. Who cares? I'll just watch now, as the blood drips down the sink, on the day they all needed, when the pipes burst and dripped the mudded water onto the the fresh veneer...

Numb Enlightenment.
the strength in you is voraciously eaten by the soul of me. your hands introduce the touch of messiahs   to my frail , battered skin. the tips of your cosmos trace my spine where your lips soon follow. I am an altar.

~~~ *dedicated  to the three, who read this first (S.B, J.A.,  & T.M.R.) and know it all too well* ~~~ more than ever presumed, more than ever thought realizable, indescribable attainable, a modernizing magic powder, synthesizing my intemperate body ~ at last, all ego falls away, now but corn husk mulch, detritus, non-toxic nuclear waste, for growing better visions, fruits undiscovered ~ write for me, my recordings, my blog, not to differentiate, to substantiate, to integrate your gasps imagined, mine realized, exhalations upon lips grazing, the soil of our rainforest wetted by living smiling, eye droplets, forming a singular stream ~ write for you, sharing too close, are you my first or second skin, for there are no spaces ~ satisfaction discovered that is insatiable, this pleasured seeing, this pleasured sharing, this poetic reason, to exist

and I find a deeper satisfaction in poetry (the modernizing magic in my body
The Idea of you was lust Now like a unwanted pimple its time for this season of my life to bust. No trust, Between us Because your obsession isn't killing us, it's me. While you ****** me your looking for your next victim. Rusting of the metal that melted us as one I scream to escape while my body remains in its vegetated state While loved ones hold heated debates on what treatment I should take. Inpatient or out seems like either route It's no end to the insanity of a strong hold No goal Seems attainable No moments of being free from the chains you keep around me. The gag between my teeth keeps your control over me.

Lustful
I went outside, and met a black queen that ruled over all of my thoughts – hoping she wasn’t a bad dream. But she'd still love me despite my arrogance; my pivoting thoughts that swing along my many moods swings. Fair enough; she’d understand me better, knowing I wasn’t treated fair enough, under the same sun that makes her skin fair as much. Still is there a woman of your dreams when you barely feel awake; the grass is always greener from a distance, but your eyes can never catch the green of their snakes. And whenever I tell a short girl a good short joke, she looks at me to keep it brief – but if I said it in short: a laugh from a girl, is a guy’s idea of knowing he can get a taste of those lips. But wouldn’t we love to dream in sweet relief, while I find it less attainable when someone has me losing sleep. Please give me my peace that comes with my piece: a piece of mind, a piece of spark to a piece of love. But when I met the queen, I never thought it would come with love – but she never felt a spark, paying no mind to me. We were just two strangers in town, walking on two different paths, who happened to glance at each other, only once!

Black Queen
Im in need of a tether Something to keep me from going From this world to the next. So I attach myself to every Attainable object or emotion or person. In hopes, maybe they'll help me. Maybe hold me so i dont float away into the knight. So far everything I've attached myself too has let me drift on to another, Making me feel more worthless than any other. I just want someone to love me, to acknowledge that I'm here, but when will I find the one who will love me without fear. Until thay day, I continue to drift into the knight waiting for my light.

Sanity is no greater than one's desire to overcome reality. Without it all one's imaginings are attainable. And reality becomes infinite.

To Persevere
Every moment, we are wasting away- Our poor, dejected ambitions Float empty Atop a sea of partially sane intentions Kept by a god With a pension for deceit. Tick tock, Crazy never comes on time- And three sneezes mean an unsuspected Guest. Dilapidated hours Wear thin As they desperately reach to cover The long, convoluted skeleton Of youth. Remnants of the past prevail, Buried deep beneath Cedar floors and $50 graveyard slots, In all it's half attainable glory, Strewn out across A marble coffin, Like heavy dice Waiting to tumble down Into reality. The old bell tower, Cracks and screeches Her unrequited laments To the indifferent sky- Every evening at 5:01. With each hollow ring, Age seeps through our pores, Mixing in and diluting our dreams, Sinking down into the deepest crevice of our Contorted being. Tick Tock, time can only dance if there's a rhythm: The beating of our hearts Sounds on, vibrating off The hollow cavity Which should hold something Living. Nothing's real here, As our insignificant lives Race each other down the dim and slippery Hallway that is life. Until sooner or later, One by one, We all lose our footing And fall down the rabbits hole To meet something like Death- the only evidence that we were ever Alive. Hour hands reach out from their miniature sphere: A cyclical world full of half past ten And white empty spaces between Vacant numbers, Grasping our warm Pulsing bodies, And pulling us closer Towards something almost like The End- Tick tock, Russian Roulette is only lucky Until it's over.

Imagination is looked upon, As a child with a crayon, Starry-eyed, All miracles and magic possible, Drawing kittens on ships, Birds near clouds, With crayons all things are attainable, Suggestions become real, A new world ask of us, 'Whats up next?,

discernment
Love me for my destruction, for my mayhem -- after all, loving you isn't so much different, I could have chosen cigarettes, smokey ashtrays over your smokey eye make-up, Or maybe alcohol, sip at lukewarm beer, and become embittered by how your lips are stained elegantly wine, and then again, I might've had the opportunity to inhale car exhaust but your breath is much heavier than monoxide and much more deadly-- turns out nuclear warfare is much more easily attainable by your explosive needs for genocide -- you love those broken hearts, you little radioactive succubus. Knives, I could have made love to a knife, but I guess your nails served the same purpose, you've left your mark, okay? I have a target in the shape of little crescent marks on my back from you and people keep staring. And yes, I could've injected myself with something stronger like morphine, but you're already running through my god **** veins -- I looked up "infatuation" in the dictionary but the words kept blurring because all I could see was your blushing expression when I used my fingertips like paintbrushes on your cheekbones.

A good thing is always a dream Once the good begins, outlook is high Dreams and wishes flourish in mind A whole scenario of fantasies, So attainable, a fix for a dreamer A heart beats faster, for a fresh start A dangerous beat, hard for a leap Opportunity for change, it pangs A cross-country trip, I've slipped Patience is all I need. Hope is all I've got fingers crossed let's not get lost.....

Wanderlust
Our city lights, however small in comparison, nullify the countless Stars of the wondrous night Sky. Perhaps this is analogous to how things that seem to be so very close, so very small, so very benign, so very familiar, so very attainable; things of our conscious creation; can preclude even the very awareness of far greater, far more beautiful, far more powerful things; both external and internal; both transient and eternal; and why we must take great care and act with great tact and act with immense respect if we, as mortals: curators of reality; are to be trusted with such effervescent potency.
