"brash" poems
we're so close, but you seem worlds away. like the moon and the sun so different yet the same. you shine so brightly i wish i could be like you. big, bold, and brash you look so nice with that pretty blue. you are everything i am and more so, go glimmer in all your glory! it's both jealousy and envy really you're everything i could be. it all started off with my one-sided rivalry now it's just my one-sided love story.

PTSD is not something you get over. It is when soldiers get tired of hearing their own shots fire Into a purple horizon of nothingness. It is when assault victims are scared of becoming a statistic And their brokenness is suffocating It is when fear compels the mind to change And it willingly obliges. PTSD is when the darkness of human nature becomes evident It is when it's stronghold is suddenly More prominent than the beauty in the world It's brash fingers create a vacuum That ***** the sanity from your mind Until you wake up in the middle of the night screaming "Don't shoot me!" "Don't **** her!" You see him and now he is with your little sister Taking her into his Jeep While you stand there, watching Tied up because you can do nothing about it. This has not happened And probably never will But you are crippled by paralyzing bouts of anxiety and guilt and fear From which your mind cannot console you You can no longer hide the loss That this event, this person, this illness Has placed strategically within you. It is when you will do anything to get these memories to stop playing on repeat An endless loop maybe ended by alcohol Check Cutting Check. Promiscuity Check Anything that will eliminate cycle of not knowing Of reliving If only for a short time Even pretending you believe in God Because it makes it seem like there is a reason for this confusion But then you begin to question why God would do this to his child So you digress into darkness once again Left feeling unsure. PTSD is when you stop repressing memories And they come back so forcefully that they knock you to the ground Leaving you bruised and ****** Leaving you lost. PTSD is different from other sicknesses Because you do not feel sick You feel there Like you are in his bed again And his room smells like mushrooms That is actually a field of grenades Waiting to explode throughout your small body You remember the tone of his words Slipping from his lips as though they are snakes Strangling me, leaving breath unable to escape This is not sick As you feel no symptoms But an altered state of consciousness You do not even realize you are disconnecting as it happens But this is Hell This is war You are broken And the worst part about it Is that you must understand your triggers Your dissociations Before you can get better.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword If this is true then God was the sword and you were a pen And I was the pencil who laid you a foundation of erased mistakes only for you to trace upon them as if they didn't exist. And I was cast in the bottom of some cluttered bag while you were gently capped and placed in a box lined with blue silk, And you knew I would always be there to test the waters before you spilled the pages with your brash delicacy. But you needed me and I craved you for completion. Together we created sweeping illustrations and lengthy novels with dozens of sequels. We depicted a tale of modern love in our ball-pointed journey. But my graphite stayed intact while your ink started to run out. I could see as our pages unfolded that your colors no longer spread as boldly. You became more and more invisible as I desperately etched harder and harder into every page hoping to give you clearer guidelines but you no longer had it in you. And soon enough we couldn't make anything beautiful. You had run out. And I'm still hopelessly drawing maps desperate that you can regain what you once had and use the indentations on previously blank pages to find your way back to me.

Forget chivalry Forget familiar nicety Best tread carefully I'm not my usual me I'll not be the hero... Doing good Simply because I'm in no mood I'll go about my business Steer clear, don't be careless No sweet chirping of birds Only sarcasm laden words I'll wear no smile... Only smirks Behind which may hold sharpened dirks Don't waltz into my space Like you know your place Don't think I won't lash Don't think I won't be brash No 'Mister Niceguy' Just let this day go by With no alarms, no surprises No incidents, no clashes I might be back tomorrow But today you must know As I lace my steeltoed boot Today I don my antihero suit

i find that the word **** is a poetic word. **** you" is harsh rude and brash. **** me" is ****** crass and not classy. **** it" means a lot, like ***** these ideas ***** what is thought. I find **** it is a good phrase. The other two negative, one that's positive sometimes. **** it, implys a lot. And in this case it implied forgetting what the others thought and how others saw us. -r.y.s

**** it.
he tells me the words she does not care to read, nor understand. his words are narcotics, rolling thick off the tongue, fat and vain. i tell him the words she does not care to read nor understand. my words are flesh wounds, festering and upsetting to the stomach. he's a medical overdose, drugging to numb the brash and pain. i'm an angry hornet through your heart and your mind, livid and vindictively stricken. thick through your veins, eyes a blur and head a fog, he's a medical overdose with mind of a syringe and tongue laced with narcotics.

Don't judge me by my looks And don't read me by the books I am brash and I am kind I am hard to define I am bold. I am shy I am grounded, but I fly I love, and I give I cradle, I forgive Though soft I may feel I am thunder, I am steel I am smiles and I am laughter I am happily ever after I am tears and I am ache I am a mess when I break I hold tightly, but I know When it's time to let go I am dove, I am hawk I am the rose and the rock I am rain. I am sun I am I. I am woman Thank you all so much **

Only a woman
I made a gold digger, ******* full of vigor, She’s on a hairpin trigger, out to **** my rigor. Gold digger, in love with all the stuff, Gold digger, she can’t get enough. I’m tired of the way she treats his gifts, He’ll give her a boat and away she drifts— I can’t help I didn’t give her enough Now he sees her lying to him—he’s calling her bluff. He puts bracelets on her wrists His charity persists, He puts old hats on her head, She’ll soon be overfed His gifts can’t harbor the ship wreck And look I’m sticking out my neck Perhaps I can’t afford her My broke *** just bores her. Perhaps it’s more than that, Perhaps it’s under the hat. Perhaps her head is so done with me, That the gifts he gives are guilt-free. Perhaps I’m loosing sight, Of the things they have so right, Maybe they’re cleaning horse **** holding hands Perhaps that’s what’s turning on her adrenal glands— Gold digger, shallow to a point Fishing for meaning, Heaven please anoint. I think I get it, somewhere inside, You pompous shallow ***** go run and hide. Surf or skate, and fall and break The waves will crush you over-take, And when the good get’s going and I’m out of sight You and He, will shrink into the night, And in your heart, Gold digger My purpose is always Bigger. Because you love me without cash But you treat me like your trash, I’ll probably get in a car crash, Running him over cause’ I’m just so brash. This I will confess, Your heads a ******* mess, Unless you give up the gold, Your heart and mine will grow even more cold. I made a gold digger, ******* full of vigor, She’s on a hairpin trigger, out to **** my rigor. Gold digger, in love with all the stuff, Gold digger, she can’t get enough.

Sailboat on a purple sea Yellow skies are all she sees Lonely Captain at the helm Lord o’er all her ocean realm. Sailboat on a purple sea Sailing through Eternity The yellow skies reveal her ardor Searching for inlet or harbor. Where she can safely drop her anchor Without hostility or rancor Stay forever, or a day If on a whim she sails away. To search again for other shores Unmindful of the ocean’s mores. Sometimes storms impede her course Fill her journey with remorse Thunder sounds a deaf’ning roar Through driving rain, can’t see the shore Lightning bolts around her flash As if to call the Captain brash For thinking that she has control Over purple ocean’s vitriol. If ever she regrets her plight When yellow skies turn dark at night And midnight storms have lead to loss She rights the ship and bears the cross And waits for morning dawn to break Sun through last night’s rain will make A rainbow reaching far away Certainly it will show the way To steer her sailboat that day. Sailboat on a purple sea Yellow skies are all she sees Buoyant Captain at the helm Lord o’er all her ocean realm. PwL 04/21/15

morning dew drops on your collar impressing me with the zealous way the seasons drastically measure the moment it takes me to reach forwards and brush it off liquid winter falling onto a ***** cement the initials 'F T' written jaggedly into the cold stone of asphalt i wait for it to disappear, for the flicker of everything gone to fade from my vision but it passes too quickly i look back up and there's no one around the street is empty and the capricious wind has ceased a sucker for patterns i walk into a fabric store and feel my hand linger on the erratic linens fingers paused on the peach organza sprawled like a pink bubblegum sea and i am swept into the manic fantasies of wearing the sheer tissue-like textile into the abdomen of your sweaty palm and sinking like a sticky sweet stripe until you put your hand in your pocket and i spend a year inside melting into the every thread and curve of your jean until it is nothing but disgusting sugar everything i could be when i am hidden from sight in the dark caverns of denim pants who knew the tongue in cheek joke would be nothing but my tongue in your mouth touching all the way up your gums   find me sweltering beneath the uvula wondering if i could go back to the time i found that girl with the mountain logo sweatshirt who whistled between her teeth and hummed all the reasons i should skin my knee and kiss the salty wound because there's no greater pleasure than knowing you don't have to wait for that morning dew drop to fall from their ******* collar

Death doesn't discriminate It doesn't see black or blue But it sure as hell leaves a bruise. Its punches and beatings repeating On the news each evening Until we're left bleeding, Crying and pleading For this to stop Because this "news" is starting to get old. Death is never satisfied; It whispers its lies That It is the answer to all your problems, That your thirst for vengeance will subside If you claim just one victim. And when the blood is poured out And as death sips its red *** We are left awake in its wake With a ticker-tape parade Because of one vigilante's charades of marching to the beat of his own drum. But let us at least take note of that before we vilify an entire people group And start acting brash based on looks whether it's skin color or uniform. Death shows no discrimination, so neither should life My life or your life; our lives are the life blood of this nation So let's **** out discrimination lest we bleed out from prejudiced incrimination.

Death Doesn't Discriminate Pt.3
Peppermint creme-filled fingers dabble nothing; sleep through alarms and dislocated anger sockets every morning. And there are flyers littering my floor speaking truths I never wanted and never knew through band names shock factoring their ardent prisons. Attention is a world currency, just like *** just like symmetry, and the plates shift while my plates sit in the aluminum sink in my kitchen.

Tell me why it has to be this way. I don’t want to hold on to one side of this conversation and have the other person falling off a ladder. Yeah, down there on the ground. Get up and look at me! I wasn’t sleeping, I swear—he said hastily. Yeah, whatever, buddy. Tell me what you’re doing in my head? Repainting. Repainting over the old spots, the worn out spots. But those are the best spots, the only ones with character. Can you tell me who sent you? No sir, I cannot. Then it is ok. I suppose I’ll have to watch as you put varnish on top of every dream and aspiration I have ever had. Do you know who the girl was that I first loved in the springtime of youth’s blossom? It was Ashley, sir. I believe I did not love her, guest worker. What are you wearing there? A pair of overalls, a cape. What’s the difference? I’m the one who speaks to you first, and don’t be short with me. I don’t like you standing there in an open room with no windows. How is that possible? I’m sorry, boss. It’s just, I finished painting over that memory but the paint’s still wet. You loved her very much, I’m afraid. Ashley? I never gave her a second thought. Perhaps you are right. I only remember kissing her shyly and asking permission to see her ******* They were the biggest of all. Yes sir, I thought so too. She was a sweet girl though. Sweet? I’ll tell you Mr. Painter; Ashley was the first girl I kissed. I kissed her in my first love’s house, a different girl. I loved Ashley more than that first love and I’m serious. No one can ever make me forget the day we lay on her mother’s sofa in the basement. --I’m sorry, sir. No, say it is impossible. Say you have some form of soap that can make up for your treachery! No, I’m only wearing orange overalls and marching on the word from above. But who sent you!!!? I have to know. I’m crying. Justin, it’s ok. It’s Ashley. She said you need to stop crying. She has a family now. Well, alright. That house. That basement. That unconscious. We are worms, sir. Worms, slithering and boundless. Please accept my apologies. No, it’s quite alright. If you must take every memory of my second love, take my third. And take my fourth and every other woman who crosses my path. It’s not my choice to keep them captive in the imagination of what could have been. You know, it’s been years since I truly cared about someone— Since Ashley? Who’s that? Ashley. Goodbye forever, harlot. Sir, you’re being brash. No, I don’t remember that name and I hold you at an arm’s length in my mind. Please, finish what you’re doing and allow me to rest. What color are you painting the room? Green, I’m afraid. Then so it is. Goodbye, good friend. Goodbye sweet love. Forever, in the spring. Temporal boundaries and endless playlists. Be the verve, be the melody. I love you! So it is. Sleep well, sir.

When I go on a poetic rant I call it my **** out sunbathing and boy do I flash them whilst I am still breathing I am trying to help other writers just to overcome their fears as I have become fearless with devotion, so many years You get to a stage or maybe an age that you care not what people are saying when you have your **** out sunbathing Yes, I know I am rather brash smoking **** and flicking ash drinking till the sun cries morning a new day of poetry, just dawning So as a would be sage twenty first century made I do hope to empower writing is a life time, and not just hours I write for the love of it help all of this art waiting for I am a **** for the art with my **** out sunbathing By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris By NeonSolaris © 2013 NeonSolaris (All rights reserved)

**** Out Sunbathing
The owl and the ***** cat*** Were out having tea After a simple beach side walk The owl took out a guitar And sang to kitty brash, kneeled Before her Crimson chair A sweet romantic ballad it was Yet ***** cat was too busy Observing owl and noticing What a dainty meal he'd make. Interrupting his declarations She stole him away Under the starry midnight sky Whereupon in the woods Her claws she unsheathed And silenced his poetic display

The owl and the Pussycat- a grisly parody
it is like the many nights sleepless intone of light on the tiled floor and surreptitiously under the influence wringing out poems while looking at 8th and 7th street fondling darkness like virgins on the absolute a mutiny of dead cigar butts on the corner as "kuya Louie" passes by with a wrench half-drunk with "Emperador" half-mad with ars poetica. other sense of self somewhere brash and brazen awash with modern sensibilities as this night deepens whiter like the color of new bones to fledgling movements, just like any other night.

Barangay 187, 8th & 7th
(Rock Lake, Canada) In this country there is neither measure nor balance To redress the dominance of rocks and woods, The passage, say, of these man-shaming clouds. No gesture of yours or mine could catch their attention, No word make them carry water or fire the kindling Like local trolls in the spell of a superior being. Well, one wearies of the Public Gardens: one wants a vacation Where trees and clouds and animals pay no notice; Away from the labeled elms, the tame tea-roses. It took three days driving north to find a cloud The polite skies over Boston couldn't possibly accommodate. Here on the last frontier of the big, brash spirit The horizons are too far off to be chummy as uncles; The colors assert themselves with a sort of vengeance. Each day concludes in a huge splurge of vermilions And night arrives in one gigantic step. It is comfortable, for a change, to mean so little. These rocks offer no purchase to herbage or people: They are conceiving a dynasty of perfect cold. In a month we'll wonder what plates and forks are for. I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here. The Pilgrims and Indians might never have happened. Planets pulse in the lake like bright amoebas; The pines blot our voices up in their lightest sighs. Around our tent the old simplicities sough Sleepily as Lethe, trying to get in. We'll wake blank-brained as water in the dawn.

Two Campers In Cloud Country
With wretchedness you pluk at my heart strings fray the bow and bend the cords With haste you close the clamps upon my side With brash and anger you slam the lid shove me into darkness With absence not more then a thought shed you leave me to rot

Playing with me is like, playing with ur life Cut you down slice by slice, no knife Make you a sacrifice, then slap you back to life It’s a full on scrap when I rap, You wasn’t ready for that, I went straight to hell, after I made contact, Battled in pitch black, now they won’t let me back, how many MC you know, is rugged as that, I’ve been to the unknown, and left an impact I kept my pride, it’s all mine, fully intact, I’m on my shrine, come from behind, ain’t no going back If ur verses really nicer than mine, that’s fine – now rap. My scripts, so wicked, they flip manuscripts with one rip, I’ll tear you in half, my warpath is your bloodbath You’re a joke so I just laugh, at this simple task Terrorizing ur *** the terror rising in your eyes You shouldn't have ventured down this path I’m wearing a jason mask, sipping a flask Anyone else jump in, Freddy slicing his *** My writing is brash, If your a titan than clash, If not, your just trash, So I, Hulk smash, Then wipe ur blood off my mask, and relax And get back to stretching cash like yoga class. cause I could care a lot less, about flows that's so monotonous It just shows you’re a hot mess, Your raps blow so much you success You are too slow, to keep up with my progress my style been buck wild since I was a child it sounds like you are much less.

Rap Ego Freestyle
Spanish La princesita hipsipilo, la vibrátil filigrana, —Princesita ojos turquesas esculpida en porcelana— Llamó una noche a mi puerta con sus manitas de lis. Vibró el cristal de su voz como una flauta galana. —Yo sé que tu vida es gris. Yo tengo el alma de rosa, frescuras de flor temprana, Vengo de un bello país A ser tu musa y tu hermana!— Un abrazo de alabastro…luego en el clavel sonoro De su boca, miel suavísima; nube de perfume y oro La pomposa cabellera me inundó como un diluvio. O miel, frescuras, perfumes!…Súbito el sueño, la sombra Que embriaga..Y, cuando despierto, el sol que alumbra en mi alfombra Un falso rubí muy rojo y un falso rizo muy rubio! English The amazonian little princess, a vibratile filagree, —Turquoise eyes sculpted of porcelain, little princess— Called one night at my door with her small hands of iris. And the trilling crystal of her voice was like an elegant flute: —I know your life is gray. I have the soul of a rose, the dew of budding flowers, I come from a beautiful country To be your sister and muse!—. An arm of alabaster…then, in the sonorous carnation Of her mouth, softest honey; in a cloud of gold and perfume She surrounded me, brash horsewoman, like a deluge. Oh honey, freshness, perfumer!…The sudden dream, the shadow Which intoxicates…and when I wake, the sun that falls on my carpet In a false ruby very red, and a false ringlet very blond.

El Poeta Y La Ilusion (The Poet And The Illusion)
A patriotic fervor producing fealty A noble cause compelling loyalty Paired with a callous indignity Brash enlistee plunges toward destiny Honor's badge worn with impunity Duty's moniker embossed with magnanimity Insatiable bloodlust quelshing all insecurity Unbridled ego clamoring a garrulous enmity Toward the villains who shattered blithe serenity First skirmish, pageantry displaced by gravity Mettle varnished with aura of invincibility First battle, fallen comrades question mortality Successive battles, severed limbs, caustic wounds challenge credulity Fragile mind being conditioned to atrocity War's heavy mantle now shorn of indemnity Threatening mind's sanity, hearth's perpetuity Once faceless foes now scream their humanity Once noble leaders brim with insincerity Supportive countrymen now fickle, distant entity Cheering press now rank with duplicity Only solace, hardened comrades equanimity

Civil War Soldier's Mantra
It was well trained cats in the cattery calling, pats on the back, back door, kicked in, mooring boats on the mooring in the morning and the phone call, cost cut, cold calling, and we're falling, falling, we're falling in love. My best friends are criminals, and the jail cell crying is trying at times but trying sometimes feels tiring. The tire track tiling is abysmal, freewheeling in reverie, revving engines readily, sitting, settling and stirring imaginary cups of tea until eternity gives up delinquently. I fail to recognise the narcissist in me until the inadequate rantings fall of the page at me. I want to be free, I want to be me, I want solidarity and I want that cup of tea, I want patriarchy, I want matrimony, I want monogamy and none of this is hyperbole. I have no apologies, especially not for the words I string together so irrationally. What else could you ask of me? What else indeed, if I can't be naked I can't be free, if I alter the way I write I relinquish personality. It doesn't seem right to me. Dada is too crass for me, I need a cult of spontaneity. The English language is too brash to be... Philosophical ideology and the books I read, all tell lies to me, are all absurd you see, I embrace the monotony, let the waves of the sea wash over me. I let the dictionary pages fall off the quay, like that moth on me, like the sloth i've been and cloth on screens. A dead dog can't scratch it's fleas, but to appease the beast we must first release, all creativity and return to being.

After Sauntering for Days in Dead Wood River Basins, After Sing-Song Campfire Madness, After Inferno Infinity and the Crying of Great River Rationale I Too Write with Reason

it’s with a heavy heart that I expel these thoughts to endless seas toward oblivion I see a vibrant, burning entity inviting me to spill my blood and to unwind my mind for him, with faith I leap beneath and into the chameleon rhine. Her tide will keep me safe from monsters that I swim among and current pulls me further, and then pushes me back in again.   it’s with some heavy feet that I’ll now walk toward the ball of fire; o’ shame of my confessions please don’t yeild this truth from me. “I am the only truth,” he states; we speak for weeks or minutes or days about purple and orange and yellow and green and how to see the colours of me; how the blue isn’t blue unless you really look and how you can’t believe everything you read in a book. I tell him of sadness, which dulls his glow. I tell him of the soulless, which he knows so well. I tell him about sidewalks and concrete fields, and how our trees have fallen ill. and he speaks in short, brash flashes; he is everything and then nothing; he’s gone before I get to say goodbye or really even said hello and all I know is I’m left with nothing and something, and if I keep following the rolling stream North and South and West and East, and if I flow as One, surely I’ll find him again and when I do I'll spill my self; my mind, my body and this soul as One into the chameleon rhine.

the chameleon rhine
Oi Modi you ****** yes Lalit, Unpleasant to taste on my pallet.  Arrogant and so brash.   You make threats with your cash, Your face should say 'Hi' to my mallet! But Modi is right I must say. The IPL in India should stay. They cannot just give in  To all terrorist's whim. Life has to go on, come what may. Lalit K has a tongue and a brain, Can he use both without causing such pain? He works best under stress,  Well here is a fine mess, Will he anger again, or refrain? Tendulkar did something today. Two hundred runs all in one day!   Majestic and cunning.   It simply was stunning. No bowler could stand in his way. How Sachin keeps on being humble, Is enough to make braver men crumble,   If Modi learned that,   He'd be less of a pratt, And my poetry jibes would then stumble. These two things that happened together, Were both better than English weather,   In the passing of time   One event will decline, The other, remembered forever.
