You said The most brilliant thing You said it was Like a heart surgery But he was only a Surgeon in training And had neglected to Mention beforehand That it was only Exploratory cardiac surgery; And it was just for his Simmering curiosity *(He couldn't have carried Out a simple angioplasty?)* That he cut the aorta That's what you said And his curiosity subsided; And he left as you bled.

Cardiovascular Surgery
Beauty is pure. The idea is to be pure, too, to see it through. Life is short, is on the move, never does the truth grow old. Destination du jour is one not two. Either end up with a thorn or a rose. Read a heart, find the truth beforehand, when two folks both tend to hide. It’s worth looking closely, maybe one is hiding one’s true self, one is a pearl keeping inside the shell!

The Fall of Icarus
Step One Be reading a book when she passes your seat And if she stops for a moment, say, with quiet excitement "You really would love this book". Step Two Apologizing beforehand for wasting her time, Proceed to read to her, in a deep, gentle voice, A page or two from chapter one. Step Three If she likes it (she will), and says it's well-written, And that she must find or purchase a copy somewhere, Offer to let her borrow it.

How To Get A Nerdy Girl To Fall In Love With You (In Three Steps)
When I was subjected to ragging by seniors, "It is illegal," I warned them beforehand, "The kid seems to have gone throughout, The itenary before boarding the college bus." A senior student was jeering at me. I must be appearing like a ******* "Don't worry, we will only ask for your introduction, consider it an interview. Please," said another senior. "Alright if you request," I replied and I waited for their questions. "Introduce yourself to us in few words." I was told by the other senior who had jeered. "My name is Atul Kaushal, thank you." I jeered back at the senior.

Tonight Tonight
White boy With your inherent privilege Straight. White. Boy. Privilege. Please, make another joke About ****** harassment No, really It's funny right? Especially because you're joking that Your male coworker is sexually harassing you Gay jokes are funny too, huh? Ironically, That's the same male coworker Who I had to explain Just hours beforehand How the ****** encounter he described Did not include informed consent How fitting. So, White boy, I'm curious how you'll fare After I told the manager About the content of your jokes (Not the proudly homophobic one, Luckily? Right.) Who then looked uncomfortable But seemed pleased when I told him that I had already called you out Because that means he doesn't have to Because he wouldn't anyways It doesn't affect him Just some harmless humor Ok. So then I tell my coworker about your joke Who then responds with: "He's still doing that **** Apparently so Apparently. So. Because no one there seems to care About jokes that put me The only person at work read as a girl (Which I'm not by the way) In an extremely uncomfortable position Why is no one else uncomfortable? Why does no one else say anything? Right, They're all like you Or they don't want you to judge them Because you have that power Because you're a Straight. White. Boy.

White Boy (F*** You, Greg)
A forest of green Bamboo stalks surround us With long thin leaves Before they were taken by thieves Tasty bamboo Growing out askew The sky is blue It’s a wonderful view A-choo! (Short pause) A-choo! A panda has the flu As I look in the distance I see the end of their existence Humans and machines Destroying their land by any means Their Bamboo has been taken And replaced with smoke This is no joke No humans spoke Until they finally awoke To see the pandas are dying In what was once their land All by our hand Not quite what we had planned Maybe we should’ve thought of this beforehand

The Mind Of A Human
I realized I was definitely Capable of loving more than one person As I stood ****** in a bar Positioned at a table between My partner and my ex-fiance My ex and I had gotten food beforehand My first time seeing them in a year and a half And I swore to everyone that it wasn't gay I believed it too for awhile Up until they said they didn't want kids Which was part of my own logic used To explain our incompatibility Hearing their stories made my heart ache All of the things I'd missed in their life All the things they missed in mine Then that night at the bar When a performer was called on stage My ex mentioned that she was my favorite A small fact I didn't think they'd remember Yet it carried such a significant feeling That left my heart heavy and fractured And when my partner looked at me I felt guilty They must be able to see it To sense it These residual feelings That I swore were not there and were Definitely not gay And while lost in my mind My ex looked at me and asked if I was ok They could still see me I wanted to run away My mind kept screaming for an escape And yet I also heard a whispered voice Reminding me that this time with them Would be the last quality time I'd have Before we returned to being strangers So I shouldn't waste it Because as much as I crave their friendship I know in my heart it'd never work Friends would never be the word It's always been and Probably always would be Something much more than that So I'll let it go I'll let myself mourn these feelings Despite the dreadful pain of it all Because we all deserve to be happy And by giving up this ill-fated dream I know one day I can be

***The mistress of my hereafter stole me away, As she so oft does, To a few minutes of quiet conversation. In her silenced voice I could read my own Long since Christianed anguish, So near it is - but so ****** far away. If only in Faraway we had us a private cottage, Maybe then we could retire to our dreams. The dressing room there Would always be yours. For I make everything yours And call it so beforehand. Thus making you the mistress Of my entire hereafter. My alpha - my omega. This “Hereafter” is but a melancholy term ‘lest We find ourselves stole away whilst Communicating through our spirits. For in spirit we have already met and Shall surely meet again. Let the certainty of it Brighten us with its forth coming. Thou surely must be the author Of the utmost of our faith. Faith in that day of heaven’s thought where In Faraway the cottage nestles between Twin peaks in the sweetest valley Ever laid at your feet while eyes See every days' blue azure sky. There we dine together by candlelight In the middle of the day while we Cater the meal toward happiness. In Faraway, all around us lives In a rapturous praise along with all that ever was. And if you should ever find my wit oppressing to Your kindness, then show your disdain and I will surely take my leave. As we look together through the candlelight Let us see only the highest values in each other. Let my eyes put your name on notice That if I were so employed as to be a slave In this land called Faraway, then my heart Would be no less than the prophet accommodated Somewhere within your walls. There with a stool and a candlestick I would sit patiently waiting for your unmaking. There my soul could be at peace from this world. I’d lean against your wall with the candle in my hand, I’d look into your eyes as I blew out the light. The cottage would then come to life As would the hearth within us. We’d breathe in each other fueling the fire. For love is the fuel that burns here in Faraway, Our sweet vapors rising high into the sky. They are bless'ed fires that never end. Come - blow out the candle once more and Let's lose our disguises– Later I'll relight the candle so we can Blow it out and do it all over again.***

I find myself skipping to another page, Moving from myself and focusing On the people around me, Inspecting all of the holes In what I am supposed to call my family. An alcoholic nan who only respected me If she had a whole bottle of whiskey beforehand, Aunties and Uncles who refuse to talk to me, Another Uncle who despises me because of who I am, A dad who left me here and went to France so I barely see him, A brother who would rather belittle and humiliate me than love me, And so many relatives who don't even know I exist. But my hatred can outshine them all, I love my dad, but I wish he was here, The others can light another match And continue to burn their bridges. I know who I love and who love me in return, Who will never abandon despite the monster I've become, The real definition of family.

What Is Family?
If that Shirazi Turk would succeed in winning my heart I'll give up Samarkand and Bukhara, solely for her Indian mole Serve remained wine, Saki, cause you can't find in the paradise Such a place as Ruknabad stream and Musall's gardens Oh! these gypsies who are sweet and set the city to chaos They drained heart from patience, as Turks take the pillages My sweetheart's beauty doesn't need my imperfect love How a beautiful face is in need of paint and powder and mole? Talk about minstrels and wine, don't seek universe's secret That is that, no one solved and will solve this enigma by logic I knew beforehand from ever-improving charm that Joseph possessed That love finally would bring Zulaikha out of her innocence You talked to me badly, God forgive you, you said it well Bitter answer is proper for that red-colored sugar-sweet lips My soul, listen to advice, for blissful youths like more That wise old's advises more than their own sweet lives Hafez! you told Ghazals and pierced pearls, come sing fine For your harmony in your poetry, Heaven weds Soraya!

After Li Po While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead I played at the front gate, pulling flowers. You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse, You walked about my seat, playing with blue plums. And we went on living in the village of Chokan: Two small people, without dislike or suspicion. At fourteen I married My Lord you. I never laughed, being bashful. Lowering my head, I looked at the wall. Called to, a thousand times, I never looked back. At fifteen I stopped scowling, I desired my dust to be mingled with yours Forever and forever and forever. Why should I climb the lookout? At sixteen you departed, You went into far Ku-to-en, by the river of swirling eddies, And you have been gone five months. The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead. You dragged your feet when you went out, By the gate now, the moss is grown, the different mosses, Too deep to clear them away! The leaves fall early this autumn, in wind. The paired butterflies are already yellow with August Over the grass in the West garden; They hurt me. I grow older. If you are coming down through the narrows of the river Kiang, Please let me know beforehand, And I will come out to meet you As far as Cho-fu-sa.

The River-Merchant’s Wife: A Letter
Crush: An intense but usually short-lived infatuation. Fantasizing about the relationship that could happen. Shy: Timid, easily frightened away. Although the wanting to just say hey. Wonderwall: Someone you find yourself thinking about all the time, the person you are completely infatuated with. But the wish for all the shyness to disappear is still here. Nervous: Highly excitable; unnaturally or acutely uneasy or apprehensive. The wanting to meet but still playing defensive. Accommodated by umm, uhh, ummm. Hello: Used to express a greeting, answer a telephone, or attract attention. Hi, umm. Don't blow it, don't blow it. Hi! I think you're cute, pretty, adorable, beautiful, lovely, gorgeous. Would you like to go on a date? Date: A social appointment, engagement, or occasion arranged beforehand with another person. She said yes. Happy: Delighted, pleased, or glad, as over a particular thing. She is not just a thing, she is my everything. She makes me very happy. Love: A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. It's a four letter word that can have a million meanings and yet only one. Marry: To take as an intimate life partner by a formal exchange of promises in the manner of a traditional marriage ceremony. I take you to be my wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us apart, and this is my solemn vow. I love you. You: You mean so much, Yet I do not have a definition. Because you always seem to surprise me. No words in this dictionary can describe your overall beauty. Amazingly, I'm at a lost of words. Beautiful: The dictionary's crush; A person who is reading this.

Lord, with what care hast Thou begirt us round! Parents first season us; then schoolmasters Deliver us to laws;—they send us bound To rules of reason, holy messengers, Pulpits and Sundays, sorrow ******* sin, Afflictions sorted, anguish of all sizes, Fine nets and stratagems to catch us in, Bibles laid open, millions of surprises, Blessings beforehand, ties of gratefulness, The sound of glory ringing in our ears; Without, our shame; within, our consciences; Angels and grace, eternal hopes and fears: Yet all these fences and their whole array One cunning bosom-sin blows quite away.

Life’s obstacles can only delay us from achieving our God-given purpose; instead of becoming frustrated, we should look to Christ and just focus on the underlying issues in prayer. Obstacles may perfect personal traits, like having peace by waiting on Him, so that our hearts are not deflated. They kick up dust, blinding our vision whereby, we must go back to Him again; When our eyes are focused on Christ, He lights our path and lessens our pain. Instead of worrying and becoming anxious, I’ve decided to cast my burdens on Christ, knowing that He earnestly cares for us; employing His principles, no real strife can ever deter us from personal victories. We’re blessed, from persevering our trials; for these too, will eventually leave us, lasting but a short, inconvenient while. . . . Author notes Inspired by: Psa 27:1, 119:2; Isa 41:13; 1 Pet 5:7; Jam 1:12; Prov 3:5-6 and "No matter how big or small the obstacles we face in our spiritual journey, as long as we keep our eyes on the Lord, we will reach our destiny that God has prepared for us beforehand to fulfill in this life, and hence inherit a mighty reward for it in the life to come. Keep your eyes in between the start and end of your faith on Jesus because He is the one who actually starts as the author and also ends as the finisher of your faith, He is able to keep you safe from the drowning of worry and unbelief by His supernatural power to stay afloat to reach your heavenly destination!" —Abraham Israel Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://amzn.to/1ffo9YZ By Joseph J.

Not sure if you’ve ever heard of Phineas Gage, but he was a railroad man somewhere in Vermont and one day he accidentally blew a ******* iron rod through his ******* think-box and here’s the kicker: He ******* lived. Now, this big metal cylinder, on its flight path, carved a cavern in Gage’s cerebrum, more specifically through his frontal lobe and when the bleeding finally stopped and they got his left eye all sewn shut he told the first person he saw, probably a loved one crowded around his filthy hospital bed to kindly **** Off and Die. He got out of that hospital bed, eventually, and when he did, he tried his damndest to go back to work but he just couldn’t. What’s more his friends said he just wasn’t Gage any more. His personality had changed. He didn’t give a **** about the sunset anymore. He liked his coffee black and his pancakes dry. Which is strange because beforehand he didn’t drink any coffee and he didn’t like pancakes much neither. He also became quite the drinker, which is funny considering he hadn’t had a drop of alcohol in his life before then. You see I always thought that personality was something you couldn’t touch. That it was some grand unifying evidence of the existence of the human soul. But here’s Gage, who just so happens to take a pole to the dome and suddenly he’s just not Gage. So maybe it’s true that we’re all just machines and you can pull a man’s favorite color or his taste in music or his eating habits out of his head and set them on a sterile tray right in front of him. That makes sense. But everything in me still wants to believe.

Well, well, well...if it isn't mister and misses, *I have to have someone up my ******* 24/7*. Even when you're taking a **** And if your partner isn't right next to you when doing so, you're sending them photos of your **** via text because you think it's somehow romantic and/or cute. You're the least constipated of all the zodiac signs because you're constantly taking it up the ******* just falls right out of your *** hole with ease. Man or woman, you have this bizarre almost compulsive fascination with hairy ******** both literally and figuratively. Because you're so eager to please, you have no problem switching from your *** to your mouth and vice versa. No one really cares when you go missing because you're probably somewhere with your ring finger up someone's hairy *** hole. Adivice: If you know you're going to be taking **** in the *** and mouth, it would be wise to try and **** beforehand because nine times out of ten, you're left with your own **** in your teeth. Smile pretty for me, baby!

LIBRA: SEPT 23rd-OCTOBER 22nd
Starless, chilly an autumn night It all started right A dance it would be A stranger I was Amongst a two roosts of Latter Day Saints Popular, I was not Neither shy nor sociable, I stood in wait for a suitor Then a lad glided in A bit taller than I, blonde hair, green eyes And an adorable hat on his head Chitter-chatter, Smiles, laughter, Then the Games began This suitor, Gage he was called Had speed, but not dexterity And was soon defeated Charming, cheering, continuing The dancing came Clumsy, was I ever so While he radiated mastery Every misstep spin on my part Made him smile He whispered in my ear, In hot breaths, Compliments of golden rarity A suitor of suitors I see A spectacular dance, then another...and quite a few more Each spin drawing me closer, As we learned the ways of our bodies purely The intense stares making my cheeks glow rouge Beguiled in the moment, I followed Gage out in an innocent move Outside, taking a walk around the sacristy We sat upon an abandoned stair We spoke, we laughed, and... His sparking eyes locked with mine And I knew such a day would come! An elegant milestone! Lips in incoherent shapes as we did the most ancient of things Simple and sweet Breathless, I was Yet I wanted more We kissed once again, longer this route Your lips are sweet, he said in my ear, as I shook in delight Paper and pen, number in hand My phone in his hands, exchanging modern things A quick hug And a long night of thought for me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since then, contact has been strangled to a near death As though it was alive beforehand My hope has faded But still, I choose to see it as a lesson for the wise Not a regret for the stupid It was magical, It was ordinarily extraordinary, And blessed I feel for the experience.

It's such a quaint notice to understand The very point on why Friendships are made And you in Cheer, though Special beforehand Was just a Concern I had to obey This thrice on Crop's Best; And opened before Such that Stubborn Mules fail to socialise They only eat grass - aloof and demure And a Good Partner most unqualified We shared the News once. That a Good Exchange Of Certain Facts the Telly won't disclose How frustrating when we need a wide range And once we did just adds to our Remorse. Freakish Things they are, Roaches in the Brain Unless we sweep this, infest they remain.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - SIXTY-ONE - TOM DALEY
Do you ever think that life could be more?   That we are sitting, doing nothing, that life is passing us by? Sometimes, I feel remorse for having had children so young, for not having adventured beforehand.   I want some adventure! But all I see ahead of me is Tameness. I wish I had had a chance to go out into the Wilderness and just lived, moment by moment.    I'm afraid I will die, regretting that I never once lived.   (If I were a wealthy man, this might be the beginning of my mid life crisis.)   What is it called when a woman feels the panic of settledness coming upon her? There is no name.    There is only the feeling of the sameness of days going by, the aloneness of standing here, surrounded by routine, by repetition. While the desire to jump, to plunge, into the unknown, beats steady on in my chest, and the knowing that That moment, That chance, Has passed me by.

My favorite spatula broke today.
there are those who read this stumbling bumbling work who are truly beautiful compassionate people thanks beforehand for understanding me without judgement IN SEARCH OF THE LOST CHORD i've been searching all my life for the lost note there is a chord in the cacophonistic chaos which is my existence i simply miss my otherwise nimble hands simply can't bring out the magic the music the majestic harmonies which i hear in my mind but are not translated to my fingers i believe it is due to my assertion that i was unloved as a child i was not a planned pregnancy my mother fell on her stomach and i was a preemie I was not touched as an infant due to this i was in an incubator i was also severely neglected as an older child due to my mother's inability to cope with two very small children (I was born nearly one year after my sister) I have also been TARGETED for twenty years by by the "CHURCH" of SCIENETICS (name has been changed) so if I am slightly dark and seemingly insane in certain respects this is why ONLY GOD CAN HELP ME I've already learned not to play my music drunk or ****** but i am still in search of the lost chord ♡ love ♡ Catherine
