"authentic" poems
What's it take These days To write a poem That makes the world go mad That brings the crowds to their feet That spreads like wildfire Through a dry winter forest Is it those excessively long words? The ostentatiously loquacious Platitudinous ramblings Of an insecure mind aspiring To authentic intellect? Is it perhaps...      the "creativity"                of      varied      spacing   or...    could it be..... the lack                               of capitalization                the loathsome little letters                screaming out                          hey, look at us!          ... or maybe it's                the punctuation marks,      littered, haphazardly           through the text                     (whether used correctly)                or, theyre not?!      despite worrds mispeled           and a grammar might is broken    can these gimmicks increase interest         though miswritten or misspoken? Is the trick alliteration Whose bite brightly bids us To center on the snappy sounds? Although all along      unvoiced underneath Ideas idle in the isles    (or perhaps the aisles) Of the mind To meld and craft and bind Our thorough thoughts And worthy words Into lines Which Heard by herds Raise the                   Praise for which we                   Privately, desperately                   Pray Maybe it's a magical mix Of splendid in-your-head rhythm Marvelous meter that perfectly clicks Flowing smoothly without schism Well-spaced stanzas Well-used time Well-crafted phrases Well-thought-out rhymes Well, maybe not...      those gems are often ignored      cast-aside, unread, even abhorred Why? Because the modern world doesn't need your rules your restrictions your regulations your misguided boundaries your oppression your antiquated ideas    of "the right way"    to write    to speak    to act    to live    to (fill in the blank) No, what the modern world needs is Negation! Contradiction! Resistance! Revolt! And poetry whose words Say the same thing Repeat the same meaning Echo the same lyrics Rephrase the same thoughts But in an ever-so-slightly Different Varied Altered Adjusted Changed up way Line After line Of synonyms           over                and                     over                          and                          over                          again ----- What's it take These days To not give in To narcissism's spiral? But more importantly: What's it take To make my poem go viral?

Just be real friend. Be who you are, and where you are at. That's enough, and it's the only way forward. Most of us have put on enough masks in our life time, to have completely forgotten our original face. We've become far too clad with the heavy coats of expectation, suffocating under the weight of the ways we think we ought to be. You can drop that garb. There's always mystery at the naked core of who you are, and that's just fine. It's not that we must rediscover some definable self, and hand that image over for validation. Rather, those solid definitions we cart around with us are heavy enough as it is, but we've continued pushing them despite the distress. We've gotten so used to that awkward play of needing to be a somebody, as if that somebody were other than who we already are. We've forgotten how to let go with all the spontaneity of a flowers growth; forgotten the beauty of our own personal bloom. That we are a fluid sweep of light and dark. That our faces, like the moons, wax and wane. You don't have to be any which way, other than the way you are. That sort of self acceptance is the innate flourish, is the fluid self cycle, is the way back into life. Don't fool yourself into believing there is a better disguise. Strip down to the bare beauty of your authentic state in this moment, and move from there.

Love and Lust
I.    Scared This is real for me This is love to me. And some days I’m scared out of my mind at how genuine this is. Nothing has ever felt this authentic to me, other than maybe pain. This is new to me. You read the stories and love is this all powerful magic and its so **** powerful that it scares me. It scares me that this thing, this emotion, may rip my heart out of my chest and leave it in a million little pieces. I’m not scared of you, I’m not scared of us, I’m not scared of a fight, I’m not scared of love, I’m not scared of forever, And I’m definitely not scared of heartbreak, my heart has known its scars and I’m not afraid of gathering more. I’m scared of an ending that’s everything but happy, I’m scared of the strength of my feelings, scared I’ll let you down, scared I’ll hurt you, scared of anything and everything, all my demons coming out to play and every inch of me is screaming run. I’m scared that I’ll run, I’m scared of losing you, of not being enough. But as scared as I am, I’m willing to fight for this. For us. For our forever Our happy ever after. II.    Two Two souls, more different yet similar than most, met while on their own paths. They continued together for a while, like many others. A poet and a soldier, each claiming their own hell, living in their own darkness. Finding comfort in each other’s arms. III.    Love How do you measure a relationship? By the future? By the arguments? I’ve always measured it by how far I could see down the road. And honestly, with some I could see into 20’s or 30’s, but never the end of our road. Those thoughts were foggy, these are too but more clear, everything is blurred but your face, where with them everything but their face was clear. With them, I saw lives I didn’t want, lives that were comfortably numb. I saw superficial happy endings. But with you I see my forever. I see 5 years down the road, chasing dreams I see 10 years, building a family I see 15 years, balancing life I see 40 years, retiring I see 50 years, walking down random city streets, hands intertwined I see 60+ years and meeting again someday in another existence   I see forever with you I want forever with you.

I love being Chicana because it gives me a sense of belonging. I hate being Chicana because I am not a true Latina, nor am I a true American. I love being Chicana because of the authentic food my family brings to the table. I hate being Chicana because people assume that all I eat are burritos. I love being Chicana because I was born with the ability to move my hips and dance in a way most white girls can’t. I hate being Chicana because I look white and not Mexican. I love being Chicana because it gives me a reason to embrace a beautiful language. I hate being Chicana because people automatically think I can speak English and Spanish perfectly. I love being Chicana because I have the most caring family. I hate being Chicana because I was raised in a lower-middle class household. I love being Chicana because I was raised to learn and appreciate the value of everything. I hate being Chicana because I am expected to bear children and marry a hard-working man. I love being Chicana because it sets me apart. I hate being Chicana because I am expected to know American history as well as Mexican history. I love being Chicana because I was born in a free country. I hate being Chicana because I feel out of place when I travel to Mexico. I love being Chicana because I have created goals for myself that no one ever expects me to me reach simply because I am Chicana. I hate being Chicana because people don’t believe in me or my abilities. I love being Chicana because I have the strength and willpower to prove them wrong.

# You are your own instrument in the world orchestra Join the chorus Play a solo Or Simply stop Rest And listen to the beauty happening all around you The choice is yours Be your own voice Or follow another But only follow another if it resonates in your core as your true calling Above all else follow your heart Let your inner beauty shine so that the world can share in the special unique characteristics and traits that glorify your idiosyncratic nature wholly encompassing all that you are Making you special Making you YOU Because the best version of you is the authentic you And it not only brings inner peace but is also the greatest gift you can give the world #

It was in the end of September, The kashmir trip i still remember, The thought of going to the heaven on earth made me feel so excited, I was happy and delighted, Our eyes filled with enthusiasm and hope, And to kashmir we wanted to lope, Just the twelve of us, There wouldn't be any ruckus or fuss, We were accompanied by ma'am Handa and Mr. Pandey, We enjoyed everything from gondola rides to our house boat stay, We went to places like Sonamarg and Pahalgam, We'd get tired reach the hotel and apply Jhandu balm, We enjoyed all our horse rides, We were accompanied by well-versed guides, We always managed to take out time for shopping, From shop to shop we went hopping, Kashmiri kawah and authentic Kashmiri food for almost every meal, Would make the tiredness for long distance walking heal, A Kashmiri wedding is also what we attended, For back and forth rides on shikara we depended, Oh! But to sum up I have to say, In kashmir we loved it each and everyday.

Journey through the heaven on earth
My mind is constantly occupied by the demons of my past and the omens of my future. Waging an impossible war, causing sickness, and torturing my conscience without remorse. I can hear the screaming of the casualties as I take one more sip, hit, or push. Begging for me to stop, but at the same time thanking me for the temporary numbness I can feel my heart exploding in my chest, as if it were trying to free itself from the slavery it is experiencing. Beat after beat it continues to grow weary and unsympathetic, Trudging through the chemicals and unrelentless lovers. all the while receiving no attention or appreciation. I can feel my soul, beautiful and full of life. As old as they come, with more stories than I would probably care to hear. Wise and wounded, healed and broken again. Becoming tougher and more layered much like the act of crafting an authentic samurai sword. Swift and elegant. Waiting to escape this imperfect body only to move onto another puppet of which it will guide and personalize. The beauty of these three broken and bruised vigilantes working in total harmony is the most beautiful and awe-inspiring thing I have ever come to know. I am greatful until the end, whenever that may be. I will enjoy the life that they have given me, and I will spread that energy to those in need of it. As ***** and tired as they may be, it is more than most will ever have the opportunity to experience

Vigilante
We might be known for our glorified past, How we went out and played real games outside. And then time just flew so fast, There are a lot of things, now, we can’t ride. We grew up knowing society had rules. TV said to study, go to college, and live happily. But what unfolded before us is kinda rude, A painful slap of some dose of a new bossoming reality. As every generation may argue, Ours may claim to be really confused. Memories of bike rides and skies of different hues, Rapidly changed by virtual abuse. We still try to live authentic though, Thinking wishfully that we can escape the Net. Go to places, do things, go back and forth, Brushing off every little regret. But ***** we actually fooling? The Net is inescapable, Lose interconnectedness and you’ll cease existing, A feeling that is plain horrible. We’ll figure this out someday, That’s what we tell ourselves, But as we live each day, We acknowledge that a little help wouldn’t hurt.

That 90s Kid Vibe
Her eyes radiant and sensous, she proudly wore them. Her eyes allured praises, and conquered the art of flirting. She looked at him to flaunt her eyes. Which, she knew will tantalize him. She wanted to arouse his highs, and have him fantasize about her. She looked at his eyes, assuming it's just another fling. Powerful and authentic were his eyes, but also strangely familiar and gently captivating. Her eyes met his eyes. For the first time, her impish and sparky spirit felt something alien. His eyes were all that were focussed for, the rest of the surrounding faded. She didn't feel the air. She didn't feel the ground. She only felt the gaze. Her always rambling mind went thoughtless now. Her burning desire to keep doing more was suddenly extinguished. She went quiet. Neither into an uncomfortable silence, nor a painful silence. But a peaceful silence. A satiated silence. The haunting memories from the past, the gripping fear of the future, all dissolved and energised the ecstatic present. She no longer wanted this to be a fling for, she knew she was captivated. This was the first her flirting failed. And she knew she couldn't be bailed out from what's to come.

A head, gnashing and screaming Forgiving my unknown hospitality Pretty is weakening I'm a fatality deemed Obnoxious is my scene The mocking and mimicking comes easy for me No secret, I envy the earth's energy Depressed, sitting in my fancy dress Shoving and tugging with desirable credibility I ravish my personality Amused? As I show my tender meat bleeding Kissing, authentic generosity A bit suggestive Confidence in deranged descriptions making others nervous Excuse me, I must leave my head is blistering, Popping, Gushing and oozing profanities Dented durability, consume me I love the fact I'm lacking Becoming one with the barbaric queen

Broken isn't cute
Lyrics in her face blaze, from screen to mouth bony thumb, scrolling mumbling into an ancient microphone hanging from the rope swing in her garage. Voice shakes here, shivers there but **** she is soulful. Authentic, exquisite in holey socks and wet hair and goosebumped arms getting swallowed by a hoodie. ******* she has it all and gives it nothing. Some of us are simply stunning no spray tans or updos no sequined skirts or stiletto shoes no autotune or makeup kits no words- only nothing could improve her. Nothing could improve her.

Dog Star Quality
The Purple People come in many sizes, from small to extra-large – some are quiet and smiley, while others are louder and chatty. What they have in common, apart from the obvious distinctive pigment, is a welcoming demeanour that makes you feel that you have perhaps met them before or that you would like to meet them again. I first met a Purple Person as I climbed the steps, looking for reassurance that I wasn’t late and that I wouldn’t stand out too much in my nervous newness. I’m not sure what it was about their purpleness, but I felt one step closer to acceptance as I walked into the warm. I saw the matching purple banners and smiled at the attention to detail and the attention given to me which, while practiced, was far from forced and held a genuine purpleness. I met other Purple People at intervals, each with the purple family likeness of a smile, even though their heritage varied in shade. The further I walked, the more I relaxed and found that some of the Purple People weren’t wearing the signature purple tee shirts, but it was clear they came from the same palette because their welcome carried the same purple weight and the same authentic purpleness. This shouldn’t have been surprising, as I soon discovered that they each bore the same purple family likeness of the Purple King who welcomes everyone.

there's ethical idealism: where ethics is discussed... there's ethical relativism: where ethics is practised... there's ethical realism... where ethics is quantified as an improbability; and then there's ethical absolutism, where we supposedly "progress" - in this scenario are the laws of physics actually suspended: whereby oculus qua oculus is replaced - a loss of an eye is "relative" to 10 years in a cage... really?! ethics is ideal, realistic, absolute or relative... we're encouraged to live in "realistic relativism"... never in an absolute realism, since realistic relativism only compares itself to ideal absolutism... and nothing more... ever watched that film secrets in their eyes? you ever wonder what ethical idealism is to the ethnical consequence that can absorb a realistic libra? i can only believe in ethical absolutism, ethical relativism is horrid to me... relativism adorns idealism, absolutism adorns realism... a life sentence is worse than a death sentence, whether justified or not, prison is sadism, but at least ****** is simply ****** a space-time intact, a ****** penalty is not inhumane, nor a ouija board... it's time for time, space for space, the actual punishment comes with the missing adrenaline rush of the unexpected reception of the wielded weapon... either send these jealous plonkers to siberia, or sentence them to death, for you are no more than they are, nay, you are more... you're akin to cats toying, playing a sadistic games with half-mutilated mice... this is why i abhor ethical relativism of the crucifix... hence my belief in ethical absolutism in the paragraph of realism, which is perfected, by being exacted, and never, ever, being leisurely discussed, on a farcical palette with a grimace to boot: ******* a lemon; compensating the horrors within minutes, is never compensated with ordeals that last years... which is why i find the death penalty an act of authentic humanity, and not this quasi-humanitarian act of pardon, ******* hypocrites - i abhor the caged rat more than the rat gladly nibbling on a dead corpse... at least there was passion in the ****** waiting for death penalty is like killing a vermin with poison, disposing them with nonchalantly... the wise maxim states: ledo ferrum sicut id est calidi - strike the iron while it's hot... death is the dawn-broker - a new tomorrow promise - left intact, the fermenting process of ethical dynamism takes over... then again, the supposedly "evolved" preferred moral relativism to moral absolutism, because there was no moral realism to speak of, since morality could only be talked about in ideal terms of the supposedly so, supposedly fashioned via: it ought to never happen to me... and then it might, and then: oops... argument sinks like a wet fatty **** into shambles of keeping up with the presupposed pillar of argument being "impenetrable"; hey, genius, back to the blackboard!

facebook - common mentality - quantum loop poem
as an astronaut, I spun on a rotary around the core of your existence like you were the gravity that held me to the ground but kept me on my toes if home is where the heart is, i'm coping with this unbearable homesickness and I know my heart has an anarchy government, living a steel toed rebellion but these relentless thoughts about you have gotten bad again, i don't sleep my reckless behavior let loose, like a dog off his chain and collar and i revisited the places you always talked about, how i dreamed to be there with you recovering those lost feelings, and rebellion was assisting me in the mind of my teenage angst, no autobiographies could be more authentic than the hatred for this unrequited swelling i held in my heart without a doubt, you're featured in my dreams more than nightmares you couldn't be more real than the books that I hold in my hands i'm sleeping in water filled with sharks calling me a tedious terrorist entering their territory, leaving me with absolutely nothing just build a bridge, get over it, if you have to, revisit my mind maybe you'll see everyone is the enemy, not everyone is perfect -kra

re- prefixes
There are moments when I feel more clearly than ever that I am in the company of my own person. This comforts and reassures me, this heartens me, just as my tridimensional body is heartened by my own authentic shadow. There are moments when I really feel more clearly than ever that I am in the company of my own person. I stop at a street corner to turn left and I wonder what would happen if my own person walked to the right. Until now that has not happened but it does not settle the question.

Myself and My Person
If you will please crowd around a campfire of words and milk it for all it is worth. There is always a little anger under the flames. Don't be afraid to ask it what you got that the others ain't. There are two very different fires burning inside of you. The authentic flame looking more like a lighthouse all isolated, and the other called the shadow of lies you show the world. Each flame sounds a lot like music as it tells you the difference between you and the rest of this planet. Did you listen?

the sky is a mellow orange and my heart is fuller than it’s ever been an overwhelming sense of gratefulness washes over me like the waves onto the sand looking over at you i realize that in this moment i have everything i’ve ever wanted everything i’ve ever worked for i am finally content with who and where i am life is still messy but it’s perfect it’s authentic and it’s beautiful and there’s nothing else i need but to sit here with you listening to soft songs and soaking up the smell of the trees mixed with the ocean breeze
