"bombarding" poems
perhaps a subject already well covered. but I consult no one else, who can expertly summon the artificial artifacts, no better yet, art~iN~facts of prior expert~tease, and speak only and wholly for myself, blatant, and openly undisguised it is the spilling, the upward sensory explosive detonating, in a pressured chest, the eagerness to race, to complete, find the next line, to define, to refine to get the balance tween elegance and simplicity, to have the ******** sensory totality of completely having spun off a piece of me and let it free float as a balloon, that may fly to China or get stuck on a telephone pole just beyond my front door                                       ============= ^ I write this midst the composition of another poem, wherein unusually I feel the need to pause, collect my thoughts which are bombarding my atoms internal, causing  a new fissionable element, distinct and unique, my poem…next…

^how to really enjoy writing poetry...
The dark winter sky was draped with stars whose dainty shimmer mimicked the sprinkle of snow caught up in the crisp winter breeze. The white flakes winked as they came to rest upon a silent sheet of ice, accumulating on the sleek surface until abruptly– a clatter of loud and excited voices interrupted. Skates slashed and sticks crashed onto the cold, hard ice. A black puck cascaded haphazardly across the rink, bombarding the once settled snow. Chunks of ice catapulted recklessly, the smell of sweat rose relentlessly into the wind. Furious and frozen wisps of breathe were choked, as bitter cold filled eager lungs. The ruthless weather, however, could scarcely graze the laughing dimples on rosy cheeks. But just as hastily the clatter was silenced, the commotion halted. Footprints crunched softly away, their noise secretly swept away by the sprinkle of snow caught up in the crisp winter breeze.

The Outdoor Skating Rink
The loving puddle in the gutter off market street-- the one that fills with dirt and **** and damp newspaper, plastic soda cup, strange indecipherable Chinese pamphlets with bleeding characters. She smiles at the sun and renders its visions on her face, and with great tension attempts to demonstrate her willingness, her blushing consent to being totally subsumed by its whims. Of course she trembles at the diurnal stampede of feet, but is not afraid-- for she too speaks in eternity. She has evaporated before-- she has kissed the incessant sky over Marrakesh in the soft morning and dreams of the sparkling mountainsides in the night, when she is divided by callous rubber tires or cast below by competing distant rains. Yet she has always found her way back home; Nestled in the subtle indentation of road besides the brickway near Battery. "Dewdrop, let me cleanse in your brief sweet waters . . . These dark hands of life" It was one of the waning days of winter, in the blurred haze of rains, when we left the coast and began our journey home. As she drove, I watched the pebbled streaks roll across the window into great vertical streams, to be cast off indistinct along the stationary road. Upon all our sides, Even the black-toothed mountain tops lost their grandiose summits into the fog. Off the road, next to the sagging remains of a gas station, a man sat beneath the naked fist of an old willow tree. He, with a teal umbrella, twirled the nylon circle so that the collecting sheen of water spun and spiraled centrifugal out into the bombarding camaraderie of fellow drops. The damp fields sat empty of life behind him, casting into evanescent black oceans of dirt. As we hurried past, I turned back-- and following him with my own watering eyes, I watched for as long as I could--until he too faded silently into the mist.

...And then I claimed hell and embedded my soul in mercury Spun in cotton candy. Sweet and dandy. Honey of kindness is what I usually am.         Glazed with a temper of redness and lust         With reckless catapults of whimsical feathered *****          In carefully-woven baskets          Bombarding blanks with loud bangs.          And an identity which took years to make,          I'm a bi-tempered soul of icy / lava flow. Wanting, needing, consuming life... Give me flattery and attention! I was exempt from life's detention! I was spoiled by the caring hearts of my DNA angels!             Rage first, I protest.        Regrets later, I detest.        I'm a clusterfuck of mixed intentions.        Real words don't spill much beyond fire lake.

Fire Lake
Rabbit tracks in the snow padded foot, here we go: Found beside a lake, far away for you to seek. Festivities of the fastidious, i was all but oblivious. Promising frostiness, the air, alit and aglow. Bombarding me quietly with parallelism, banging noiselessly off the fire of the morning sunshine. Mollified, the world stirs in its lack of commotion. Meek blunders of the fortnight, i wish to forego. My star, faded from the sky. You are what brings me high. I will be with you, upon the epoch of tomorrow’s morn, come nigh.

Trapped within this heat there’s an Ocean of thoughts defeating me. Suicide has come and gone even death Is confused. I am awake yet the whole Of ikasi is half-asleep. Conflict between races: black, white, yellow, I mix these colors and get red for bloodshed Bombarding my mind as I choose my artillery: Butcher’s knife or bread knife? Mxm **** it, I opt to Load my machine gun as I take no prisoners. I live only by one rule “spare not the feelings of those Who have none.” As my stu-stu-stu-stuttering riffle goes “tat’ i cover lova,” They blaze to bushes with rampaging speed and seeing as my weight Constitutes a majority of ten, I choose to be democratic and side with its Vote, by not running but instead sending a hail of bullets. Voetsek, Voetsek and Voetsek I say!! As dusk breaks into dawn I am shattered into reality as prison introduces me to myself. I started shaking like the last shivering leaf on a dying tree and came to realize: The person whom I slaughtered was not only my neighbor, but was also my brother and if I have to suffer for my brother whom they call ikwerekere to survive, then I say “give me pain till I die!”.

Wilderness of Pain
...But at night My head is a radio tower The thoughts and information bouncing off the walls of my mind Front to back Voices from different frequencies Endlessly bombarding me. Never stopping Never ending. . . . . And for the first time in my life . . . I find myself begging for a place . . . Where I don't get cell service.

Cell Service
I watched adrift on a putrid plank That had saved me once before ‘Twas the elusive Pride of the Pacific Constructed in ‘74 Her bronze bells and mighty foghorn Commanded all to make way And the tides knelt beside her feet To congregate as they say: “Tis pitiful, such punishment Bestown upon the Ancient Blue Our vengeance creeps forth each day And will drown this peace askew. Their corpulence, disgusting As they carouse all day and night Limiting themselves to their marvels” Alas! A human they spied in sight! “The humans have rejected you From their blissful celebration Now let us stir up trouble For complete annihilation!” With swift currents bombarding, The passengers fled with haste And in one implacable calamity, The ship was left to waste The bronze bells won’t resound With the ship flipped on its hull The foghorn’s left to drown As beauty is left to null. I sobbed adrift a putrid plank Never abandoned from the start “Such horrors would go unnoticed If humanity had the heart!”

The ministry of leftover ideas
a cloudburst, penetrated our world with thrusts as deep as the eye of our storm, coasting over us in heaved passion; unleashed with each dip and sway bombarding... our core in showered felicity; tasting euphoria's longing, titillated to the tips of our toes; saturating her soft spots, her rain and I were one curled, pelvis to hip sliding in out as hands caressed in rhythm, wanting to taste her rain once again; cultivating in her delicacy, nibbling tautness; remembering moments our lips said hi besieging me... as her raindrops seeped, causing our steam to rise, each drop in hunger; I'd delve deeper into oblivion,losing myself in raged deluges of her rain's cloudburst...

Rain's Cloudburst
Shall I take my life away Strip the essence of disgust From a beautiful aroma of life Shall I envy no longer The tears that seem foreign To vacant hollow depths Soulless windowpanes that echo The pain of a thousand voices Yet I seem to struggle With these tornado winds Ripping through my heart Desecrating the holy lands That once flourished with Love and Innocence Now Godforsaken Shot down in the middle of night Crashing burning into hallowed grounds Aerial assault bombarding Leaving ruins and corpses Thirsty for the spillage of my blood Carving rivers into my wrist Breaking dams in my veins Letting the ****** tsunami rage Drowning myself in its depth Godforsaken Now I shall die Simply because I'm pathetic Always thinking I can save the world With six lines or outstretched arms All I'm doing is setting it up For its inevitable failure

Godforsaken
Your hands stole the starlight To paint my body In vivid hues of heaven Unrestrained rapture Soars like a firework Exploding out into darkness Bombarding colours Fragmenting sensation Cool night air Delicately wanders Fanning my flaming skin Stroking my fascination The heady scent of desire Infusing earthly compulsion Thrusting towards celestial pleasures In an effort to enter nirvana Soft folds seek firm flesh Ripening under your touch Ready to burst with sweet ambrosia Flowing through your fingers Demanding in quest Your skyrocket Burns through my atmosphere Leaving trails of stardust that Quiver along my body As you cradle me in hushed epilogue And I descend ..... Back to a garden Bathed in moonlight (C) Pixievic

Sensations revolve around me All are causing me to react Some are foreign, some friendly One is too familiar for any tact As this world of many feelings Revolves steadily about my head One is perpetually bombarding It's those simple words you once said You remember those fateful words That generate nothing but sorrow I can hear them echoing now As if you uttered them not so long ago But it wasn't that long for me For I never will move on from this I'm trapped in that broken moment My mind forever set amiss So I will sit in a mournful world Reliving those words that undo That forever ring in my mind's ear "I just don't think I can trust you..."

Stimulate Disappointment
Conversation inhibited, Yet also free of constraint, Small talk a challenge, In depth conversation my forte And interrogation my ally Bombarding others with quick fire questions, ‘You’re too deep’ it has been said more than once As I reveal too much once again. Misunderstanding social cues, Eye contact a no no, ****** expressions a blur, Tone of voice a trigger, Hence emotions a minefield. Literal listening, Literal speaking, Leading to sense of humour bypass, Don’t waste your innuendos, irony and sarcasm on me, Direct speaking is what wins the day. Overwhelming sensory overload, Confusion, Misunderstanding, Mishearing, Tendency towards negativity, Introversion, A war of words Inside my head Pouring out my mouth, Tearing me apart And those whom I love. Now working hard to change the script, To be aware of the impact of deficiencies, defensiveness and quirkiness, To remain level headed and mindful As I alternate between tiptoeing and running roughshod Through the labyrinth of life.

The Labyrinth of Life
Their heads bent low, they slept Through wind, rain and hail. Ice bombarding their delicate petal Sheilded like a fragile veil. But this veil is tough and robust Red poppies dot the sky line Like true grit like a magnificent statue ***** long standing and very fine. Across ploughed earth on the horizon Across vale, parks and the hedge row On dry sand on the beaches and on the British lawn that we mow. They wave their orange heads we're here and nowhere we shall go Because we are here to stay; the Poppy Scatter their seeds and we shall sow.

Thoughts
Let go of those old fears That have somehow battled through the trenches of time You've fought gruesome wars at night For so many kaleidoscope years Laying awake with the noise outside your pane As the only tune to your madness The civilian lives lost The once-spirited homes burned to rubble All to conquer the infantry of bombarding thoughts That have emerged victorious for ages at the first light of the sun A daring blow must be delivered to such malice The respirating breath of triumph Must grace the muggy walls of your lungs That sunrise must burn the awakening Of all your ambitions and conquests And you can rise from your slumber just nigh of death As a warrior who will flatten what monstrous fights now may come And when the moon shows his face And the stars light his eternal shadow You can step out into the wild Adorned in the fruits of your courage Let go of those old fears That have somehow battled through the trenches of time

Wars At Night
Quaint 'heart-shaped' design home that is 'rent-to-own' by owner Due to recent storms, much needed repairs are required Attached is a detailed list of the damages, that if you so choose the owner will lower the price if you decided to move in sooner The roof was initially damaged as lightning suddenly struck blindsided by her sudden change of attitude The windows were then busted in as the winds picked up bombarding me with questions on false premise Not soon after, the rains poured in, leaving the carpets a-muck words that soak into the skin, leaving me miserable And as the rains came down, so started the hail against the cruck pounding relentlessly as the mind started cracking While the walls were being soaked the wallpaper began to free revealing the internal problems to those who knew Then, with a final gust, it knocked down the steadfast tree crashing through the walls, exposing myself to you And as the calmness set in, it was clear the damage done to me set a smile upon her face as she traveled away If you assist the owner in the repair of this 'Heart-house', he may allow you to step in and provide input on how you think this heart should heal with you in it. Immediate response is required. Call the number attached for more info if you desire.

Real Estate in Repair
Whispering winds, rustle weeping willows, were the corpses, and sorrow lie. Winding beaten roads, broke from the artery of cluttered existence. Landing me in what reality? Rattling minds, in longing whoa anamnesis, horror,love denied. Skeletons emerge, of the forgotten foes, and mystic secrets the world sought not to see. Clustered hoards galloping to their doom. Essence ripped away, by cloven hoof. Relevant ramble from a vagrant drunken stooge. Whisk away by the dramatic exchange of a loon. Echoing memories bombarding the senses. Landing me in what reality? Echoing voices carried through hallways were sorrow, and corpses lie.

Why should i be You're not even mine. Or are we just waiting for that moment in time? The jealousy kicks in when you're with others When you're around him. i feel the rage begin. one moment he passes He sways you away My oxygen in this toxic atmosphere I die Bombarding you with his sweet strong words, I cannot help but break inside this is a curse Let me tell you this, I may not be as poetic as he is In his vocabulary I cannot compete. Im desperately trying To find the right words, words that fit. I hope you can see, my queen, my elite. i dont want to lose you Im afraid i might lose you My territorial side weakens What am i compared to him? I'm just a hopeless romantic. Sometimes i wonder The cause of all this Is that im falling for the most unexpected; the most dangerous love And the worst part is i cannot stop.

Terrified
Ever so welcome beads of rain dance against my face as I run. Faster and faster, until I no longer hear your footsteps. I look back for you through the trees. My eyes darting frantically amongst the green wonderland of leaves. I stop and remove the drenched hair slapped against my check. Trying to calm my breath, I listen. All I hear are heavy rain drops bombarding the earth. Then, "C                            R            S                     A           N                        C           A                           K           P" The thunder yells and we both scream. Out you fly... eyes wide with excitement. Together we rip through the trees as the wind and warm run carries us. I feel your eyes upon me. I already know what you're thinking. I extend my arm as you grab my hands. We share a stare, I see a reflection of the adrenaline rush. Giggling innocently we run as fast as our feet can carry us. Our arms extended, Our shirts rustling in the wind, We are one with mother nature. We are her daughters, She binds us. You will always be my sister.

The president says that we should be happy? He brought us to the brink of war And then he lied about the reasons. Of course, we have seen that before. Lies, lies, again and again… He thinks he can legitimize His actions by bombarding us With lies, lies, and even more lies. Fifteen thousand four hundred False claims from the lying pro. But you have to keep in mind That that was more than a month ago! Now he's lying about Iran. He says he has a better feel For how to apply maximum pressure-- Better than the nuclear deal. Abandoning the agreement that Was working clearly made no sense. Trump prefers to provoke Iran. Diplomacy is a better defense. Diplomacy means "weakness" to Trump. He would rather pound his chest And act as though he knows what he's doing. Tell me: is the man possessed? Lies, lies, again and again… How can anyone not despise A leader who defames our country With lies, lies, and even more lies. -by Bob B (1-9-20)
