"bruno" poems
Here I stood with ***** crystals beneath my feet and waited for the sky to turn golden. Here I laughed into the echoing tunnel under my home as wet earth dripped on my skin. Here I learned about parenthood among feathers and little eggs and ungodly morning crows. Here I gloated about the manhood which sprouted from under my arms and in my mischievous thoughts. Here I waited till dark to meet him in secret all the while dreading the sound of tires on gravel. Here I buzzed with excitement as the boys had their lazy Sunday afternoon. Here his freckles came close to mine as he softly said "you're so beautiful" with Bruno Mars playing in the background. Here I said I would never grow up. Here I comforted her with my pain because I had to be brave. Here I forgot that being called "muddy children who act like savages " was considered an insult. Here I cried into the stars for reasons I didn't understand. Here I walked on hands and feet with happy little scratches and silent giggles. Here only the sound of our beating hearts and delicate pride could be heard as I held him close. Here I sang at the top of my favorite tree and waited for the words to hurt him as much as he hurt me. Here the glow of a flashlight illuminated our tent as I asked her if she liked me like that. Here a little piece of me was left sitting on a branch waiting to capture the next magical heart. Here I wrote "I love you" on a mango leaf only to realize that he spelled love differently. Here I sat beneath bright green trees and pondered my not-so-complicated life. Here my words came out blurry and my stomach swayed like a sail boat out on a windy morning. Here my hands went numb as I raced to the end of his life. Here I visit through pictures and messy journals to remember the little things that are now so so big. Here I left muddy footprints now covered with grass, but here they will stay.

The immense striking letters of the gazette’s front page make me almost cross-eyed My mind is going to explode in the images I have seen in the television Boom! When will the politicians be weary in stealing the wealth of the country? Millions of pesos were caught in the centre of the golden sea Can we only find it from other countries? Is that the main reason why Filipinos are migrating: to find source of much bigger income? I am thinking about them together with their bosses with heavy iron hands I believe crime rate is escalating... ...the crime that can grab you 24 hours a day Can we still smell the tainted odor of pictures of the street children... children who beg for a piece of bread? Mr. President, where is the promised straight road you are pointing at? Why can’t we see it? Is it crooked? Why is it that these are the ONLY stuffing of rumors? Why can’t we focus onto a bigger and wider problem of our country and even around the world? Perhaps above all issues, this is the only concern that is not yet trending in Twitter So, I just boasted it to my open-mouthed puppy... “If I will be the President of the Philippines, I will focus first on ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.” Suddenly, Bruno’s saliva dripped.

If I will be the President...
My back is tight, knotted I'm not entirely sure why But I would trap a dozen Eskimos for a massage, honestly Enter the sad realization that, despite Bruno's good intentions, he is unable to Fulfill this request with paws Oh, but that's alright It's one of those half-hearted dreams That drifts along in wispy bits Every now and again To whisper and invoke a peace Within the cataclysm, but don't dare Turn around, or it will be Gone Like the ghostly fingers untying me One loop at a time because They've lost the scissors

I used to be Bruno Mars, you can COUNT ON ME I used to be Ed Sheeran who'll be there 'til we're 70 I was Avril Lavigne who said I LOVE YOU But not All Time Low, I ain't MISSING YOU I'm Against the Current, burning a little BRIGHTER Like Bleachers, I WANNA GET BETTER Like Big Time Rush, I'm HALFWAY THERE Like Taylor Swift, WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER

I Ain't Missing You
from On the Infinite Universe and Worlds (DE L'INFINITO UNIVERSO ET MONDI) by GIORDANO BRUNO 1548 – 17 February 1600 burned at the stake in Rome's Campo de' Fiori THREE SONNETS Passing alone to those realms The object erst of thine exalted thought, I would rise to infinity: then I would compass the skill Of industries and arts equal to the objects. There would I be reborn: there on high I would foster for thee Thy fair offspring, now that at length cruel Destiny hath run her whole course Against the enterprise whereby I was wont to withdraw to thee. Fly not from me, for I yearn for a nobler refuge That I may rejoice in thee. And I shall have as guide A god called blind by the unseeing. May Heaven deliver thee, and every emanation Of the great Architect be ever gracious unto thee: But turn thou not to me unless thou art mine. Escaped from the narrow murky prison Where for so many years error held me straitly, Here I leave the chain that bound me And the shadow of my fiercely malicious foe Who can force me no longer to the gloomy dusk of night. For he who hath overcome the great Python With whose blood he hath dyed the waters of the sea Hath put to flight the Fury that pursued me. To thee I turn, I soar, O my sustaining Voice; I render thanks to thee, my Sun, my divine Light, For thou hast summoned me from that horrible torture, Thou hast led me to a goodlier tabernacle; Thou hast brought healing to my bruised heart. Thou art my delight and the warmth of my heart; Thou makest me without fear of Fate or of Death; Thou breakest the chains and bars Whence few come forth free. Seasons, years, months, days and hours -- The children and weapons of Time -- and that Court Where neither steel nor treasure avail Have secured me from the fury [of the foe]. Henceforth I spread confident wings to space; I fear no barrier of crystal or of glass; I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite. And while I rise from my own globe to others And penetrate ever further through the eternal field, That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me

My cousin told me that I am a good storyteller, but I should write something about me, about real people and a time that I was scared "shitless".  Well, I can only think of one time of a real life shocker that shook up my young world. It's nothing suspenseful. It probably wouldn't win any contests, but it isn't contrived. It's a snippet of the first time that I encountered the raw reality of death.   What did I know about death at eight years old? Our parakeet, Perky, died. My grandparents dog, Bruno, had to be put to sleep. As a girl, I vaguely recall seeing a dead man in a coffin, and that was at the funeral of my mom's aunt's husband.  This was only an introduction of the temporary world we live in.   Well, then there was an older couple two doors down from us. They had two grandchildren that used to come and visit them, a sister and brother. When in the neighborhood, they would play with my older brothers.  I cannot even recall their names. I cannot remember what they looked like or what they said. What  I do remember is the news being on in the living room, and I was eating dinner in the kitchen with my mom and brothers. Suddenly, the faces of that brother and sister were on TV. It was reported that their mentally troubled mother had killed them. I think it was because she was denied custody of them in an ugly divorce.  Doing a little bit of digging in the Michigan death index online, I rediscovered who they were. They were Susan and Richard. They were ten and nine-years-old at the time.   I surely don't remember plenty of details, as this was in June of 1973. Over forty years ago, it's a much faded memory now.  I only know I did not go to the funeral home. If I did, I am sure I'd be horrified to look upon those children who were robbed of their lives.  Death was no longer just for pets or old people.  It wasn't fair and it didn't discriminate in age. And if it could happen to someone as young as them, it could come knocking on my door. Perhaps, that was the beginning of my fear of death.

We’re in a young-love recession. Gen Zers are slow to trust and averse to risk, we have, it seems, a particular social nervousness about interpersonal exchanges and the symbiosis of love. So we resort to situationships (undefined relationships), a stratagem for closeness, with zero commitment. You can flirt; you can kiss; you can dance. You can have a crush so big it blots out the stars You can have transformative romantic encounters you can care deeply and get hurt badly you can, in fact, be absolutely wrecked by love All without ever being in a relationship. Thank God we’re only young once. . . Songs for this: Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Busy Woman by Sabrina Carpenter

Bruno mars-count on me
In Rome on the Campo di Fiori Baskets of olives and lemons, Cobbles spattered with wine And the wreckage of flowers. Vendors cover the trestles With rose-pink fish; Armfuls of dark grapes Heaped on peach-down. On this same square They burned Giordano Bruno. Henchmen kindled the pyre Close-pressed by the mob. Before the flames had died The taverns were full again, Baskets of olives and lemons Again on the vendors' shoulders. I thought of the Campo dei Fiori In Warsaw by the sky-carousel One clear spring evening To the strains of a carnival tune. The bright melody drowned The salvos from the ghetto wall, And couples were flying High in the cloudless sky. At times wind from the burning Would driff dark kites along And riders on the carousel Caught petals in midair. That same hot wind Blew open the skirts of the girls And the crowds were laughing On that beautiful Warsaw Sunday. Someone will read as moral That the people of Rome or Warsaw Haggle, laugh, make love As they pass by martyrs' pyres. Someone else will read Of the passing of things human, Of the oblivion Born before the flames have died. But that day I thought only Of the loneliness of the dying, Of how, when Giordano Climbed to his burning There were no words In any human tongue To be left for mankind, Mankind who live on. Already they were back at their wine Or peddled their white starfish, Baskets of olives and lemons They had shouldered to the fair, And he already distanced As if centuries had passed While they paused just a moment For his flying in the fire. Those dying here, the lonely Forgotten by the world, Our tongue becomes for them The language of an ancient planet. Until, when all is legend And many years have passed, On a great Campo dci Fiori Rage will kindle at a poet's word.

you see, i'm not so good with words, and cannot weave lines that rhyme, or compose brilliant poems. my words, if only i could find them, will tell you how much you're beautiful, about your sweet smile, and your beautiful hair. i can't wait, for when we get to hold hands, when i get to catwalk in your size 42 high heels, go to a spanish club together, and reminisce why we don't talk about bruno. i feel so lucky, thinking about the randomness of how we met, how you caught me in a way i'll always remember, or maybe we really are meant to be together? i always blush, when i think about your sweet smiles and beautiful hair, the standing girl emoji and the doll from squid game, the too many times to count i stare at your beautiful pictures.

I'm running Why am I running? Why does it hurt? Why are my feet cold? I look at my feet I'm barefoot Why am I barefoot? Okay Give me a sec I'll remember Oh! I'm running Running to you I'm barefoot Barefoot because I'm scared Scared you'll get away Leave and get lost Why did you leave? Wait no You didn't leave I slow down You didn't run away I stop You're still here I wake up Oh thank god It was just a dream You're still asleep Next to me where I left you I'm not running I am barefoot But not running I thank god one last time Take a glance at your sleeping face Kiss your nose Nighty night, Bruno My cute watch dog

Running barefoot
In another life, my father must have been a blacksmith. Essential in his village Essential to be needed (otherwise what’s the point?) Swinging his hammer in heat, in smoke, content within his St Bruno haze, suspicious of anything lighter than black leather anything lighter than brass fittings - comfortable with sweat stains and scattered ash, scars and deep bruises marking him a man’s man and breadwinner, - relaxed with the air blue, the tribe white and his iron laughter echoing with every strike, every blow shaping his son into his family’s likeness.

My father must have been a Blacksmith [after Cynth Miller's 'Dropka']
Thanks Bruno mars, she does make me feel like iv been locked out of heaven now. I hate that I love you, and I love that I hate you, you make me feel like I know what love is, this pain I constantly feel, it never numbs or goes away, iv just learned to deal with it. I stay close to you, because if I ever let go fully, id loose a best friend along with a lover. Its karma, I thought I knew everything there was to know about you in auch a short time, even now im finding things I love more about you. I love that I hate you.

Karma caught up.
I remember when you sat next to me you and your curly Blonde hair and those blue eyes cut me so deep I remember so vividly Man. your rough looking hands were so appealing I just wanted to grasp them as they went towards my own But instead of your hand fitting like a puzzle piece, you took my Walkman "What are you listeing to?" you asked "Marry you by Bruno Mars" I said. you took an ear piece and began to listen you began to sing and I was melting you turned to me and sang that song for me but you weren't serious But still i melted This memory and so many are fading Like when we held hands as a joke and you pulled back saying " I Never held another guys hand." How cute you were. or how bout when the times you sat next to me on the ride home and you would just stare at me when i wasnt looking yes I noticed Man, I wanted to lean on you those memories are fading, maybe For I might fall for antoher we are just talking but who knows I can't have you because you are not gay, or bi thats what you say I love you enough to just believe it Anthony, man just saying your name is like a drug, I love you But you and these memories might be fading, maybe I might have found another Guy one who might like me and I might like in return If you do like me but dont want to admit it then Please hurry But if you are really are straight then its good that you might be Fading, maybe

On a hill far away from the city In a beautiful distant galaxy, Live a boy and a girl so happily... Daddy he loves Mummy Mummy she loves Daddy Daddy he loves Mummy Mummy she loves Daddy. Where the stars like glitter forever shine, Where the rivers bubble with rose red wine, While on sweet apples and oysters they dine, Daddy he loves Mummy Mummy she loves Daddy Daddy he loves Mummy Mummy she loves Daddy. Where the weather will always be just fine, High among the stars, floating on cloud nine, Whispering to each other "You are mine"... Daddy he loves Mummy Mummy she loves Daddy Daddy he loves Mummy Mummy she loves Daddy.

Dedicated to Bruno, Batu and Gang
This poem, well more like a free write, was inspired by the song Amazing by Bruno Mars Oh & this is a true story.Enjoy. :) I hear the words as I drive in my car. My thoughts take over my body as I feel the sting begin in my eyes and my face gets red hot. I start thinking about my life and those lyrics. When was I going find someone to tell me that I'm amazing? When was I going to find someone to tell me that I'm beautiful JUST the way I am? That they would never change anything about me because I am the epitome of perfect in their eyes. As I pull into my driveway, I turn off the car and cry softly. The silence made my sniffles sound deafening. I couldn't hear myself breathe, I thought I stopped. I took my time, thinking about my past, present, and future. I've been so stuck on finding the "one" that I haven't found myself. I immediately stopped crying because I realized I have found someone to tell me all of those things, and she was staring at me in the rear view mirror. ME.

Amazing
Distorted words, and The common misconception Of glamorous fiends, Help to destroy the sanity Of hopelessly subtle, old kings. - Dastardly provoked To implore, or deceive, the Faint of heart—cowards— To commit themselves to war; To attempt courage for once. - Yet, not one of them Is capable of such strength. In today’s battle, One man here, is simply just Another broken, dead boy. - Scream “Hallelujah!” They do, but it comes as a Whisper. They whisper, Because they are afraid of Their own voices; the noise scares them. - Circumstance may have That those faint of heart—cowards— Cannot see their chance; This inexhaustible resource. They know not their own power. - Brother: Please humor The condemned souls in this town, For they are no more A concern for the Killers, And Invaders moving through here. - The rippling muscles Of defeat swarm this dead town, And those who stood by Were consumed by the vultures, And the wolves who haunt the woods. - Those who could not stand And confront the oppressors, Because their voice was Inaudible and weak, were Burned at the stake, like Bruno. - Yet, these plebes, could not look Him in the eyes because their guilt weighed their chins down. - Wickedly the cruel, Conquering enemy will Capture the souls of The less fortunate who hide In their own puny shadows. - Yet, even when the Strong make their stand, and fight Those wicked demons, Their victory is in vain, Because the cities still burn.

Weak, Muted Men
I sat on my hard, green footstool, still, in my grandma's front room, musing over the warm madeira crumbs on my blue-veined white plate. I climbed up onto my granddad's chair, as familiar as the aroma of his St. Bruno flakes, infused into the dark promise of his worn, warm desk, impatient for his return. I'm waiting still.

Aroma
Can you imagine? A school without teachers? A court without bleachers? A flag with no stars? Bruno without Mars? Can you imagine?

Can You Imagine
You pause the sewing machine, listen for any sounds other than the machine; there is none. It is oddly silent except for birdsong from the garden. You gaze out of the window in front of you, see the trees, the flowers, the children playing in the garden next door, and smile weakly. Your daughter would have been playing out there now if death hadn’t taken her, if things had been different. You can almost picture her there, her fine black hair, her deep dark eyes, that small smile about her mouth that seemed ready to break out into a laugh at the slightest thing, but the image you try to bring to the scene fades, is gone. You start up the sewing machine again, push the dress through with your fingers, try to drown out the thoughts and sound of children playing, of their happiness and joy, their youthfulness, their innocence. You look up again at the vase of flowers on the windowsill, at the potted plant that Bruno bought for you. He wants more from you than you are willing to give, wants more than you can give any more. Since Kitty’s death, you are unable to respond that way, unable to let his touch feel your flesh, touch you anywhere. You have not made love to him since that dreadful day; have not even thought about that side of things with him anymore. You think of being away from him, going away to the coast, staying with Sally in her house near the sea. You stop the machine and stare at the dress on the table. It is a child’s dress, one you are making for a friend’s daughter. To know Kitty would have been that size now, she would have loved it, would have fitted well inside the cotton dress quite well. Tears swell in your eyes, you bite your lip, you want to cry out loudly so that the entire neighbourhood would hear, know your grief. You wish Bruno would go away, divorce you, say something harsh, something real, but all he does is attempt to make things as they were and it cannot be that way anymore. You will go to Sally, will stay with her, will share her bed as you did that summer of Kitty’s death. Warm, safe, and a completely new lifestyle, a different approach to love and ********** that you had not dreamed existed. The thought cheers you slightly, makes your groin tighten, brings images to mind you thought you had left behind. And Sally will say, Jane, you are all too pale, too thin, and warp you in her arms, kiss you and you will dissolve into her and her love and bed, and Bruno will be gone from you as Kitty is, but she will remain in your heart and memory, will be there beside you smiling, playing with her dolls, singing those songs she sang, as you and Sally drive away the dark days. You start up the machine again, gaze at the trees, push the dress through eagerly to its near completion, watch as seagulls linger over head, calling the welcome of sea and a safe haven, and Kitty’s touch on your arm, ghostly, but near, so near.

DREAMS OF A DRESSMAKER. (PROSE POEM)
You pause the sewing machine, listen for any sounds other than the machine; there is none. It is oddly silent except for birdsong from the garden. You gaze out of the window in front of you, see the trees, the flowers, the children playing in the garden next door, and smile weakly.

Broken flowers & ragged breaths she spins the earth on a piece of string legs sailing high on the swings her toy dog, Bruno watches closely by a worn copy of a linen-bound Ulysses her latest boyfriend told her she was ' Loopy' & now she doubts the sweet voices in her head talking in sacrilege stirring up dread 'we all have our demons' she had replied ' But not all of us give in' he had said & left her standing by the gate to sleep & nevermore

Nevermore
This man philosopher, mathematician and astronomer said "the sun was a star" but the Roman Inquisition thought he'd gone to far Found him guilty of heresy, but you will never guess what happened next? Tongue imprisoned for what it could say, his life they would take, and so poor Bruno was burned at the stake.

Giordano Bruno 1548 – 1600
Bruno           he trims a Cuban cigar and places it in his anti-authoritarian orifice: Foreshadowing the mysteries of life brings the succulent cauldrons of mystical salaciousness to a boiling ardor.  I’ll entice the myriad realms of your enchantress and wring the moisture out of your femininity.  I’ve got a cat of nine tails in my hands- I dare you to stroke me, you sassy *****  just so you may know my obeisant oblations orchestrations.  No other woman moves me like the feral ***** you employ.        Caspian   Choreographed katas supplement his beast. He’s adamant and masculine, and plucks the strings of his guitar in anticipation of your ****** harmonies.  Pounce firmly on his erotica erectile like the black panther of his lust’s rebellion.  Caress the protuberance of his virility- mount his exsertion- hair on hair- wanton on wayward- peal him slowly with your agile ictus- he’s ambrosia and honey- extort the fecundity out of him and give it back like a fertile libation. Roland He’s like a Mayan calendar.  Excruciatingly exacerbating, imperturbably tenacious.  He’ll draw the sport out of you and make you bounce like a cowgirl on a bronco.  Only to buck you off and leave you in the dust like a flaccid martyr on the ground he tramples.  You’ll reminisce his wily gate where ever you tread, and ****** yourself at the thought of his machismo machinations as you rode his determinism.   Sol His exotic lightning vaunts in the celestial canopy.  The blood of new world wizardry, he seduces from the apex axis of his citadel pinnacle.  His warrior heights ooze with the psychic clarity of zoomorphic demagoguery’s rebellion and make the knight groan with exigency.  The weight of his words, the upward convection of  their accessional draws sweat and *** from your extant.  He can sense your arousal from miles away and seduces your mind like a torrential deluge. Richthofen He is manumission, no more the faded vision of  body incarnates ghosts.  He writes of the enrapturing mesmeric-ness of its inebriation to tantalize his wanton decadent blatancy’s flagrant.  Impetus intrigue and intuitional verve become sensual currency.  He’s the lounging lion, the puissant God, the edifice ******** of pornographic wit.  The incongruous incognito with no moniker.  Seduced by your poet he would romance the *** out of you and leave you enraptured with your own anonymity at the edge of the new world freeway.
