"bringers" poems
[Hashtag]MeToo Here it goes again, trending on Insta and Facebook. Where real awareness stems. Mind the sarcasm, social media’s a powerful tool not knockin’ that. I wonder though, does the mind of the follower understand the context of the hash? Do they get it should be a call to action? Not necessarily at the keyboard. More like on the couch with their children, Giving the conversation of consent.   Most people do not even understand it by definition . The meaning of yes and no convoluted by scenario.   Bias boils over like milk and water over full flame. The posts bubble out and stick to the side of the pan, quickly drying; leaving their mark. Until the soap and warm water flows over them, and the steam evaporates the confessions. Until they are again whispers we all hear and know. It’s whispers from the alley ways, and from married couples bedroom doors. The woman is the property,   the man is the proprietor.   We refuse to address the real problems, the failures of our up-bringers. We point fingers and slay names yet the statistics provide the truth.   One in four for females, one in sixteen for males. We all have been violated, slandered, and forced to say [Hashtag]MeToo Not going to say I did not share it, I know the touch of unwanted hands, the invasive *********** All for the sake of the insanity,   in repeating a useless gesture. The only difference is My hashtag went to my Senator.

#MeToo
Up early as usually but this time with a mission to complete Halloween Costumes. Not a pain free day most definitely, but have kids who rely on me to be a good mom. Everyone has haters; the two faced, "your girls" wanting your guy or envy clothes style, or randoms you never met, desiring your life, home or new car bought with hard work. Most days what's posted on sites about me makes not a bit of difference in my world, I ignore and move on with my life, know haters have nothing better to do than gossip. No news is good news and nothing from my usual "Town Criers" saying "Guess What?" One day got messages in text, "You have been labeled Babylon's ***** by Craiglisters!" Not a "lol" nor "Roflmao" situation. Thinking, What in the world? and How in the world? Me, Ms. Abstaining and they, who love assuming and posting drama without thought. Their world; small town America and believers of truth in "all" internet rumors and media, not willing to give benefit of doubt, once minds, so limited in thought, have been made up. E-mail inquiries from potential employers I never met from destinations far far away, asking and informing that person with such low morals shall never be part of their world. Drama finds me and neither welcome nor do I seek it out, way too emotionally draining, believer in live and let live, authored "Celibacy" poem to stop jokes made to my kids. Who knew that trying for your dreams could bring forth bringers or illogical pure hatred? Who knew that emotions of my children whom I love, would be affected by narrow minds? After family conference and with full support, by the way, had to explain ***** to son, this mom carries on and still on second journey pursuing dreams and making realities. If I give up dreams it will never be because someone posted bold faced lies on open forum, it will be because I choose to do it with good reasons and those reasons are mine alone. Pitfalls? Have been numerous. Will? Strong and still determined to see this through to end. Tomorrow isn't promised and hear my dad say, "Daughter, go forth and let haters be fuel!"

Irrational Haters and My Children
Up early as usually but this time with a mission to complete Halloween Costumes. Not a pain free day most definitely, but have kids who rely on me to be a good mom.

The Heist
The fallen, bringers of light who died and became angels of the night, they are the air that man breaths; chaos. So fourth, I was light born in darkness with the healing of the light and the desires of evil. I roam the night in search of withered souls; hearts once made of gold tainted by dark tar. I feed off their darkness, I crave it like a child craves a mothers love. And so I consume their very darkness, as I removed their demons and make them my own I free them of the suffering and shed light upon their eyes, the shackles now removed they realize their full potential. While I lay here battling their demons and my own; forgotten. As they went on to greatness I was left in the shadows; no one ever bothered to save me.

I am of The Fallen
I love you to the moon and back, yet on earth, I hate you back and forth. I am happy with a suppressed sense of agony. So ecstatically vibrant, yet miserably tormented. I live day to day, walking and “maturing”, yet move no further than beyond the grave of a past, long dead and gone. I’m awake, don’t you see? When I wake, I open my eyes in a helpless sleep. Outside my tiny being, I see nothing but me. I call myself a mother, or a father, but never gave birth to a daughter. We call ourselves a “family”, but exist so disconnected — wavering and dislodged, apart and separated. Smiling resentfully, painfully, excruciatingly. All for the cameras of course. I am respectful — to be respected! I shower in lies, and cover you too, so I need not see any offensive residue. I am a strong person, cowering and contracted to the slightest sight of error. No vulnerability. I’m brave, don’t you see? A plastic rock, standing impervious to the sea. I love you, I love you, I love you. But I don’t see you, nor hear you, don’t know you. I understand you, of course, “I understand everything!!!!” But I don’t see you, nor hear you, don’t know you. I know you, I know you, I know you. Yet I don’t see you, nor hear you, don’t know you. You’re crazy, poor child! Why can’t you lie like we do!? Why can’t you NOT feel like we do!? Why can’t you NOT see as we do!? Why can’t you just “forgive” and “accept”? Take it all, all our objects in their entirety and forget the emptiness of your soul. Sacrifice yourself, for you need not forget, we gave it ALL. Don’t you know yet? This world is OURS to own. A “truth” to be known. Your perception; a mere fallacy to be shown. Don’t you know yet? Everyone agrees. We stand before an army of validation, against your small speck of reality. All memory, all harmony, all said and done -- buried beneath. We are the bringers of truth, the proclaimers of wisdom and sound guidance. And you, our poor child, just a little voice to be silenced. A lost soul, drifting outside the “right” path. Reach for our direction. You’ll travel upon a dusty, well-trodden track, and with feet now imprinted with scars. Rest assured though, for we travelled there too; feet too ***** to bear and too numb to care. Take our confident hands, our dearest child. We’ll lead you through a clear path with tainted feet. You’ll fall and we’ll rise in disbelief. You’ll scream and it’ll only echo our fears.

The first great war took many people But it was just a start for worse It took the best of us, the livers To revolution's ****** horse This war erased aristocracy This war had eat my own home land Kurmysh was town at Sura river Untill they came, soviet's undead A part of us was pushed from home lands Another part had shot in head They called themselves a freedom bringers But that was thing old Lenin said While winners write the history The truth becomes a mystery Then bandits become heroes And heroes gone to dust And now, the robbers, killers Are called a freedom givers In part of lost empire Ukraine, which now are sold

the belly of America
We have a thousand poems for Every one of your bombs. With each act of bloodthirst And slaughter, we respond with The force of volumes on peace. Heaven; a holier word than Hell. One birth overshines a Hundred deaths. Cowards wound. Heroes heal. Poets create. You cause A thousand tears with every bullet. Well, we compose oceans of comfort In your wake. Our ink overpowers your lead. We have a thousand poems For every one of your bombs. You are the bringers of death to The flesh. We are the armour Of the soul.

A Holier Word than Hell
I miss you like maps miss fingers, Like mikes miss singers, Like hells bells miss ringers, Like bringers miss takers, Like ******* miss fakers, Like cakes miss bakers, Like lakes miss boats, Like bad swimmers miss floats, Like politicians miss votes, Like doting parents miss school plays, Like nymphomaniacs miss lays, Like hypochondriacs miss prescriptions, Like ****** misses addictions, Like carpets miss friction, Like Billy Bunter misses midnight feasts, Like the grim reaper misses grief, Like Henry misses the good fellas, Like sand sculptures miss umbrellas, Like Rubix cube devotees miss puzzles, Like rabid dogs miss muzzles, Like Van Gough missed his brushes, Like speed freaks miss rushes, Like pens miss paper, Like the Mona Lisa missed Pater, Like the canvas misses the creator, Like the thirsty miss water, Like the hungry miss food, Like ***** miss the lewd, Like the mind misses mood, Like the tides miss the moon, Like the sane miss the loons, Like the dark misses the light, Like the brave miss the fright, Like the kite misses the wind. I miss everything.

You stayed at home
flashes of the past crash into my mass blasted and scratched, hide chapped, I clap and shout at the memory I approve of myself – Old images of self-worth re-birth And my fading girth is better for the earth Large ***** pass gasses collapsing the greenhouse, but I approve of myself – Internal health and immeasurable wealth As if the Delphi oracle imparted me with love for self growing stealth with approval of myself – affirmation nation retaliating against infatuation with concentration camp regurgitation my patience wears thin and yet still I approve of myself – Granting panic stricken epidemic victims Injections of insulin and bicarbonate soda So the right wing harm bringers Will no longer harbinger orangutans Oh! the will of man… Planning to land a dodge ram on the spam factory Rectally cramming grandfather clock hands Scamming bands of Ayn Rand fans I approve of myself – Derailed writings without direction Making up things like “latterly” …..better to just end it---- I approve of myself And much of this message

Warning of an attack The people scream out loud Warnings in the sky Of what's coming Appearing on the horizon a threat on a planetary level Demons in the sky, cast shadows on the ground Bringers of destruction, are ravaging the land Fury of Khorne's servants, a force to reckon with They set the world on fire, the turn to **** again Flames are burning higher, the bodies keep falling Khorne's servants on a rampage as the sky is turning red Better run for cover, you'll be quick or be dead Burn, Burn! Rage of the Blood God Burn, Burn! Blood for his throne Die, die! Merciless killing Burn, burn! Skulls for his throne!

Bringers
Distant as the far-off maritime state, undeniable as the endless mismatch of rock turmoil in the centre of the Earth, and as vital as the pound of flesh, pulp and lung, tired bronchiole, wasted lyric, and cancer's ever-present weight upon your mind. Familiar as your lover's intonation, as she asks of the breadth of your love, attractive as the modest celebrity, with legs splayed in bronzed celebration of this, her life's affirmation. Bound as the pages of your old journal, full of misdirected sorrow and old, old love. Curtailed as the dance floors abandoned at request of the lights, sugared, spilt drinks to rot the wooden boarding, now devoted to misery-cleaners and the bringers of tomorrow. Firewalled as the world is to debt. Cardboard shop-fronts, straw-men hippies and bent products, cash out at Christmas, then a haemorrhage in the New Year of old floods and foreclosures. Covered up as is the rusted kettle to stifle flame. Lost as flavour is to ketchup, as winter is to hope of heat, to desire of spring and the end of forever-night. Thin as my wrists, as hands hold the banister, gaining small balance in life's rare incline, long stripped of exercise, of enterprise. Unutterable as the soul-sounds I feel when I pick up the guitar, as unattainable in this life, as is beauty once my knotted fingers press consciously upon the strings. A truth legacy found in blood and distortion, found in intuitive drives, warped by consumption. Dismissed theory of Atlantean ties, of old Babylon and Reptilian lullabies. Luring, luring, luring to distraction, into the night and the plight, into the absence of Arcturian light! Keep close to me, please, oh, feeble recollection, please take me to truth, in this, my meditation.

Dust lies on piano, its lust to play a tune Powder upon ballet slippers, in mansion ruin Come light through weathered window On chair, on table, on letter marooned Contents never read, her fear what it reads Years it sits unopened, as felt be no need Come light through weathered window Causing illumination, on doubts, indeed Music echoes through its musty lingers Memories enchanted; his long dancing fingers Come light through weathered window Onto keys, sprinklings particle bringers All this sifting silt, effervescent in the air As her heart was so jilt, and left without a care Come light through weathered window Untouched slippers, feet dancing bare Turning up dust, each and every day Lady of this mansion, dancing her cares away Come light through weathered window Forever in swirls of doubts, she stays

Imagine Imagine a world where we all live as one Where people walk hand in hand and don’t live by the gun Where a man can be a man because racism is gone And the evil deception of politicians are done And the freedom from freeing my soul is met by the rays of the sun And I stand on Mount Sinai And wait for people to come As they turn they back on corruption and start to run And the power is handed from the words And we can once again have fun Imagine a world where we all live for today Where yesterday is faded in time and in space Where every gender, color, creed and race Announces to the world That peace is here to stay And then the Messiah no longer has a reason to wait Because we’ve destroyed power, corruption, greed and hate And we stand here united along the same fate Bringers of words to articulate Imagine a world where we do not run from our ways And we pound and we pray that we don’t stray from our days And we show them what we know Because knowledge can reign And the point of the main game Is not to be vain So I strain and I drain till all the blood from my veins Show you my love and the reason I’m praying And my shoulders no longer feel the heaviness weighing And we tell evil it no longer has a reason for staying Because we no longer have a reason for waiting Imagine a world where hope is the word And the beauty of men Is destroyed by the herds And evil and hate can no longer learn And men aren’t shot for the use of their words Imagine all this without all the verbs In sight of your own eyes Soaring like birds United by the heavens, clouds, skies and earth To live in peace without concern Imagine- Thank you JL

Looking deeply into the densest black, no light to be found save a tiny little crack. The fracture that harbors a minimal piece of light, holding a tinge of fear as a battle rages in the night. Champions of the bright stand battered and bruised, a war against the dark we cannot afford to lose. Many tactics has the dark to destroy leaving broken shining beams, yet the light holds tight inside us as we strive towards our dream. Of a world that will only ever live in the light, and the only darkness we see is that of night. A war that eternally wages on, so no matter the victor...the tiniest crack of the dark...lives on, in us. We are the bringers of both side of illumination, one without the other, never balances the equation. For oneness is all that we seek, the inner battle of the strong and the weak. A source to which we are forever tied, we merely live to choose a side.

Don’t write me poetry It’s never worked before Vanity, all of it, vanity And I don’t want any More-words, just-words, nothing-but words I don’t care for The structure The way It is so easy to steal Phrases lines Automatic sigh-bringers Used a thousand times By history’s pen and Those more worthy to hold it than you All you did Was take the bag Of scrabble tiles Rattling and clacking together And shake Once Twice Thrice Forced Farce Until you were satisfied with what it gave And you threw away the rest That’s not art That’s strategy It’s too neat Neat like summer Neat like children’s books (not the good ones) Formula following Empty and hollow-ringing Give me something real Instead Give me the ramblings, twisting wanderings of your mind give me the dark places the secrets the mysteries that lurk in the depths like sea dragons like the ocean itself there is so much more so much wilder and deeper so grab my hand and pull me in with you don’t flatter me while dipping our toes because why why would we choose the ship the safe little dingy bleached wood, branded logo on the side when underneath lies atlantis and the depths

don't write me poetry
Stomach Churning Mankind, Dizzy spells over the Human Race. I question and turn, "the top of the food chain." Creators of technology, bringers of pain. Yet I see small weakening cracks all over their face. Attention seekers, stalkers and unwanted love, psychologically misguided, socially excluded. small secrets and whispers, where one always intruded; gossip carried into the skies, like feathers light, above. Ripping at one's defined thought, ruining it with paranoia, Pushing one's life aside, focusing on obsession, Wishing nothing but a pair of eyes, some sort of detection; a heart leading nowhere, lips quivering with question. Women are 'weak' men are 'pathetic' children barely bear name aside ignorance. teenagers with morality that is of absence. And the old are useless, eyes bearing something synthetic. I sit here and give myself every insult; I belong to the Genus. I feel feebleness grip my heart, that is when purpose diminishes. I question if old power was real; Caesar, and Dominus! And I realize, "Every story can be made," And that is where thought finishes. - N.C

Greatest Creation
Precipice hanging Red rock dwellings Hiding under the sandpine desert Freeing me in the process Tribal seeking Falcon knowledge to leadeth me down road highway Noones way But the freeway Riding the cool gypsie wave Moral decay hath abounded me With the naysayer's and no bringers Wolves cometh by swarms Mastered by scorn They scorn another with boiling hot heat.... Trampling feet.. Dance to their own tune, No rhythm and blues But jazz gone punk!!!! Raccoon turned skunks On lonesome highway to hell...

Highway to hades...
Society in peril, Morality on the fringes, The sound of a bullet leaving its barrel, The sound of a casket’s lid closing at its hinges, Oh, somewhere our better half cringes. For every person looking to preserve life, There are four others looking to destroy it. Though compassion is our signature tool, Oh, only a handful of us ever employ it. There is no neutrality when our conscious hearts fail. If our better angels remain silent, our darker halves prevail. Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine. Everyone has a two-ton war machine. Festering in heat, Moral fabric unweaves. Desecration, Denigration, Desiccation, The remains of a sacred bond left tattered by deceit. The sound of a stained glass window shattered by thieves. Oh, somewhere our better half grieves. The enigmatic future inches nearer, An ambiguous choice becomes clearer, The sound of rattling, an empty heart, Battling, an empty mind. The sound of hurried footsteps… And there are others not far behind. The blind guiding and seeking the blind, Oh, somewhere our better half searches to find… A shelter from all of these two-ton war machines. Everyone has a two-ton war machine.   Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine. The pain lingers, Morality rests in tatters, Miniature death-bringers, The sound of a bigot’s daggers, The sound of a depressed man’s gun facing backwards… After he decides that nothing else matters. Oh, somewhere our better half staggers. Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine. Everyone has a two-ton war machine. The temperature escalates, Morality thrown out with the spoils, The sound of tension as it elevates, The sound of blood as it boils, Oh, somewhere our better half recoils. Because everyone has a two-ton war machine. A guilty conscience, a burdened soul, a heavy heart, And a two-ton war machine. Society in peril, Morality on the fringes, The sound of a bullet leaving its barrel, The sound of a casket lid closing at its hinges, Oh, somewhere our better half cringes. Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine.

Two-Ton War Machine
Society in peril, Morality on the fringes, The sound of a bullet leaving its barrel, The sound of a casket’s lid closing at its hinges, Oh, somewhere our better half cringes. For every person looking to preserve life, There are four others looking to destroy it. Though compassion is our signature tool, Oh, only a handful of us ever employ it. There is no neutrality when our conscious hearts fail. If our better angels remain silent, our darker halves prevail. Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine. Everyone has a two-ton war machine. Festering in heat, Moral fabric unweaves. Desecration, Denigration, Desiccation, The remains of a sacred bond left tattered by deceit. The sound of a stained glass window shattered by thieves. Oh, somewhere our better half grieves. The enigmatic future inches nearer, An ambiguous choice becomes clearer, The sound of rattling, an empty heart, Battling, an empty mind. The sound of hurried footsteps… And there are others not far behind. The blind guiding and seeking the blind, Oh, somewhere our better half searches to find… A shelter from all of these two-ton war machines. Everyone has a two-ton war machine.   Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine. The pain lingers, Morality rests in tatters, Miniature death-bringers, The sound of a bigot’s daggers, The sound of a depressed man’s gun facing backwards… After he decides that nothing else matters. Oh, somewhere our better half staggers. Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine. Everyone has a two-ton war machine. The temperature escalates, Morality thrown out with the spoils, The sound of tension as it elevates, The sound of blood as it boils, Oh, somewhere our better half recoils. Because everyone has a two-ton war machine. A guilty conscience, a burdened soul, a heavy heart, And a two-ton war machine. Society in peril, Morality on the fringes, The sound of a bullet leaving its barrel, The sound of a casket lid closing at its hinges, Oh, somewhere our better half cringes. Everyone has one ounce mercy, Three pounds sympathy, Angelic grace, Godly uniqueness, Divine understanding, And a two-ton war machine.

The darkness spread fast.. The fading glow made me sad a little.. But from the darkness I heard new sounds and tones.. Sounds of something that was hidden in the light.. The more darkness there was the clearer the sounds became.. They reminded me of whale songs back at home.. We were all walking toward the light mountains.. The light storm had passed. We continiued our dark journey through the light forest toward these majestic and beautiful light mountains.  There were many mountains the ranged in the same size all except for one.  It stood higher than my eyes could see.  I dare say it stuck out of the planet.  At times it looked like a pillar of light..   We were a group of dark walkers, shadow touchers, dusk bringers, I tried to come up with a cool name to call our group as my mind wonders about in my head.   We then come upon a pond of light water.  It shined with green light rather than blue like the river..  I then heard the voice speak to me.. " They keep her here, we cannot enter these waters, but you can.. Go and free her please."  Without hesitation I stepped into the green light water. The water is deep as I am completly submerged.  But to my suprise I do not see light. I see complete darkness.   For the moment I begin to panic.  But then I see a small speak of light at the center of all the darkness.  It begins to grow and spin about itself.  I then realize that it was a heartbeat.  What I was seeing was a beating heart in the darkness.  I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful it was. It grew brighter and brighter with my presence.  Then a body started to take shape around it.  Only in darkness could I have seen this...

Harvester of words gathered in the Trenches of life between The dawns early fire And the dusk of our gathering, A reminiscent corridor that takes A reader and places them in The belly of your understanding, Digestive reading. And we become all things All at once To find a meaning to the wonderful Chaos, The stubbornness Of the human condition Gazing at broken things and finding Light in the void of humanity. You poet Armed with a language unique To the written word of your being, The benevolent ruins of time Assaulting the moments Gazing into melancholic skies Bringing them to read our hearts. Bringer of wisdom from our own Stupidity, Spinning the compass to one another, Bringing closer the faceless Soul breathing in words, Syllables like embers raining On the angels watching us suffer, We compact the understanding Into a small requiem of experiences, Ripping the face off of the world And giving it our own touch: I, you, We, Poetry the birth of ruins And dissolves into forever, Poets, bringers of languages Never spoken like dictation of spirits, Time before time, After and before collide Birthing the momentous inkling. Take it, Its yours, Poets living in the dream Suffering the expense Of the reality, Constellation of our suffering.... Poets, living martyrs.

To The Poet
Please, let us be The bringers of Light Under one banner Of those befallen of night Though the way may be blinded Locked by our fear Our apprehension telling us “Please, do not go” And suffer more comfort full of past woe. Bringers of light, What you have will pass And change being the only Thing to last. So love it, know it And advocate change Since the in vogue attitude IS to keep it all the same. Never suffice, oh, Bringers of Light, all of you, With things as they are. Yes, you go, necks out for change, Change everything, since there is Need for change, And change that change So the change is changing And every changing change changed Is best Don’t settle (so change!) For what’s better than change But change, changer, and changest. So raise high your banner And herald in the change! But before we step first, We pause for mantra “It seems so stupid To risk your life for a cause.”
