"busying" poems
I have been so busying studying That I need a distraction A break from the action on my computer screen My mind is so full of random facts and data I am getting a migraine My brain needs a break Should I bake a cake or is that the stress talking Maybe I should be walking I don't want to walk alone in the dark I hope the neighbors dog don't start barking I really need my sleep tonight If my eyes were not so sore I might just cuddle up with a good book Thinking of a temporary distraction My feet will make some traction on the kitchen floor I will make a cup of Hot chocolate read a poem or two Sit in my lazy girl chair drink the hot chocolate and think of the best distraction of all All of my poetry friends Have a good day or Night I wish to thank you all for your wonderful poems and your friendship :) :) :)

Distraction
Jew harp, Plath hearted, dream seamstress who sits in the dark. Who made me live here. In a small room inside my head, little dictator and I lit this place with music, just for you Where all sounds but songs are dead-headed Just before they bloom. Totalitarian angel, rage-filled fragile smoke who censored my tower of Babel. Who tamed my very rivers of song to breathe the moon-tones as vapor, until as a sun you’d rise to scar these rivers, every single one wherever you find them, with your face. No matter how they run. Paranoid animal with an understandable aversion to caress and kinetic poetry. Damsel who births her own dragons like the fertility of hell, again and again. Life and love belong to the monsters the monsters you make of them but all of them I’d befriend. and I wonder. I could chew my pen hand off snared coyote. I could swallow my tongue dancing to dead note barks. I could visually inhale that sun. Take in all I can. To get the eyelid ink spots. The branded silhouettes busying my eyes as I sleep each night as I sleep. Without this allergy to identity you could turn this world backwards in me. That hell of a snow-globe you hold if only you knew what kind of world you controlled.

Jew harp
What sights are seen around this flower cart The ever changing sea of humanity The exciting sounds that shout about life, young and old alike living to the fullest and some unfortunately not Young and old busying themselves in fast-foot-paces Vendors of every nationality pre-existing into one nation Besides a lot of people stopping long enough... to buy and smell the flowers I raise my petals to the sun, sitting in this whitened cart a fragrance bundled joy... Please take me home and gently whisper close to me... I'll send you      to      my      love            forever be Filled to the brim with goodies for your nose and colors for your eyes, while in the middle of beehive hustling this whitened cart of ours holds little flowery kisses helping to kiss away your hectic day Here time stands still for you and entwined magic leafy flower wands help change your worldly view A kindly wink from nature      A kindly gift from you... I once fantasized a fantasy of lilacs of ferns of forget-me-nots and many more All herded two by two onto a pushing ark-cart of white But soon a flood of humanity encircled that ark-cart you see And soon they stormed their yearnings for fresh fragrance for lilacs for ferns for forget me notes and many more And the outcome was a pleasant calamity as you can easily see For those blossoms were all swept overboard, caught in the wavy arms by the sea of humanity...

Tales from the flower cart
Ignoring the things that cause heartache The busying of one's hands to produce something-- ANYTHING to leave a mark on this world to be recalled and applauded But am frequently assaulted by the thought of you Waking up in mid REM Push you out- you walk back in No Lover-- No Friend Awake to pray 'Amen' we say To close one's eyes Ignoring tears cried Fall asleep, but not too deep Enough to be trapped between who you were And who you are Awake and unbothered, I am But sleeping tight all night is unreasonable For everytime I close my eye I am assualted by your image

Assault
I'm a pendulum Slowly swinging one way and another. Always destined to be opposite, Always almost touching one extreme or the another. I long for the dull thud of metal on wood. I remember as a child playing with the brass pendulum of my parents' clock. Interfering. I'm a cuckoo cuckoo. In my cuckoo clock. Popping in and out. Hidden inside or on full, crude display, Chirping away, But never will I not be the other, In time. I am the weather, My own seasons, A planet orbiting its sun, Ever-changing, always running, Spinning, dizzying, ever busying Myself but never getting to the sun. Never knowing true dark or true light, Only the insistent tick tock of day and night. Regimented, regular dawns and dusks. Waiting for the next change of scene Wondering what it would mean to reach the sun, Wanting to let the cuckoo break loose of its small, wooden case.

Tick Tock
She crossed her legs. Cracked her knuckles, crack, crack, crack, down one hand, then the other. She was full and feverish, awaiting an answer that could change it all. She had gone 3 months with no signs. "Weight loss," they said, "stress". She had listened, busying herself with plans. futures. She was "In control" of her own life. Now, she was at risk for becoming a statistic. the "standard". Proving someone somewhere right about the ethics of her "lost" generation. She had achieved maturity. Independence. Self-assurance. It could all be lost in a New York minute.  The answer to her worries wasn't the most frightening part; it was the phone call she knew she must face afterwards. Ambivalence. It was the remembrance of goodbye with the fear of hello. Crack, crack, crack. She was pulling her hair out over nothing at all. Right?

How does one feel when they glimpse the pure night sky? Alone, Enthralled, Fascinated, Questioning, And yet, Dismal. For we see only half, of the whole truth. What stars? I have seen the stars, This is not their irradiant glory, This is a poor semblance, A portrayal of our Ignorance. We cannot see The stars, By our own hands we have blinded ourselves, From the single-most Awe-inspiring, Demoralizing, Ego-diminishing experience, And it shows. Constantly busying ourselves, we fail to make time to gaze skyward and dwell, When you look at the sky, you are Forced to question. Those who do not look, Do not question, Those who do not question, Accept, And those who accept, are blind. Blind, Deaf, And dumb. Led here, Led there, From pasture to pasture. Fed ideas like they’re kibble, And the dogs are hungry. It’s a dangerous thing, to gaze up, There is always the chance Of choking On your own existence. How will we awaken the masses From their eternal slumber? A difficult task when their heads lull , from the self-induced hypnosis. The light is what we need, And they stars, They give it. But we drown it out, and substitute it with the eternal hum of the artificial glow. Deprivation, The population thrives on it. Honestly, I would be stunned, Nay, terrified, If every mind awoke to the reality, of the vast insignificance. You can hear the minds imploding. You can feel the torrent of individual thought. Danger. Terror threat level Severe, Burning red. I have seen the stars, Filling every void in the infinite blackness, Radiating their celestial secrets, Tantalizingly close to revelation, Yet lost in translation. You find your true self, When alone with the stars, No one except, Your thoughts. Oh, what a dangerous place to be, Floating somewhere between consciousness, and stellar knowledge. Will you rise to the Astral Summons? Seek respite from the electron hum, Find yourself under the endless luminous canopy, And question.

Even if I were to study Kinesiology, it couldn't give me the slightest hint as to why you move, the way you do. I could listen to a sub woofer's bass, and it still couldn't give me a trace of the things that make you feel alive. And even with scissors, I could never cut out from a cloth just why you are the way you are. The patch cord that you play with amps up the sounds I hear, and yet I could not ever hear a single tear. To me you are a subway station, busying about, seeing me there but not seeing me clear A small blur, in the corner of your eye To you, I am there then gone again But to ignore you? I couldn't even pretend.

A Lonely Subway Station
In the late hours that feel like mornings missed You'll find a mind busying itself with chaotic thoughts; Shadows of the past, troubles of the present, and dreams of a brighter tomorrow. The burden has shifted in years past To grander futures and love yet to live. Even with the fair change in weather I find sleep impossible. To have traveled you must have once been somewhere. From that point I've surely walked far But the shadows that follow feel impossibly tall. Every time you shine light unto them, new shadows form. As a form of survival we do our best to integrate and homogenize. You wear a smile, try to believe in it, and swallow your pride. No matter how many times the people who love you try to shine light into your dark corners You can never quite forget the way a brilliant light fades, and eventually vanishes. With these pieces of history properly organized in my mind I can begin to reconcile my experiences with the world around me. Every person and interaction an opportunity to be an even brighter light to others. I could do no greater honor to the memories I have of that light Than to take in it's essence and share it. That is the closest a human can get to living beyond death And I plan to live a life worth remembering.

We spend our entire lives running from death. We train our minds to give purpose and meaning to our pathetic existence as we gorge ourselves upon waste, trying to trick the fates as if purity would repel decay. But in the end, all attempts prove futile. You cannot run from death, he is always there, just around the corner, waiting to carry you away. In the end we are all the same; bodies left to rot, to sleep for an eternity undisturbed. The priest sleeps only feet away from the killer, their fate the same. All that waits is a silk rimmed box. Death is the ultimate fate, silently crouching at the end of our ropes to rock us to sleep and whisper muted lullabies. He lays us down in our eternal bed and shuts our vacant eyes waiting for all to be silent, for the last tear from the funeral march to dry, for the process to begin. He grabs hold of our bodies, making them betray us as they consume us from the inside out. Our bodies swell in the absence of life, destroying our living form. Grave wax takes hold of our faces as our flesh collapses leaving the stains of death upon the finest white silk. We waste away to limp folds of skin sprouting flaxen hairs supported by hollowing bones. Decades pass and we return to the dust of which we are comprised, we dwindle down to our tainted bones clothed in the finest of linens and become no more to the world than a name on a slab of marble. To those above we are a name, a fading face in the back of their minds. We are the ghosts that hide in their subconscious, furtively dragging them down to rest alongside us. As time passes our grave becomes no more than a strange combination of consonants and vowels, our life is forgotten, and the land that we lie in follows time and what once were flowers become weeds. The living march along in colonies like insignificant little ants caught up in the delusion of life, busying themselves with passing luxuries. The lives of those centuries dead don’t even pass their mind as they tear apart our sacred land, disturbing our sleep for a strip mall to go bankrupt in five years. And so we lie in our silk rimmed box; trapped in a perpetual nightmare unable to move, to speak, to cry. In death only does the holy man become one with the convict. This is the world beyond life. This is where love cannot grow, where hates withers, where fear resigns. This is where the mind cannot venture, where the body is all. This is where all illusions stop, where truth reigns. This is where nature reclaims what is rightfully hers, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. This is the end, the inevitable conclusion to all our petty sufferings and attempts defy the fates. In the end we are all the same.

lately, we’ve been talking about the way things change we’ve been building cities with our mouths only to blow them out as if the future is a candle, with trails of smoke like lace, just the murmur of secrets across the grass getting softer softer softer until they disappear, until everything disappears everything disappears lately, i’ve been think about the way things change like seasons and lovers i’ve been thinking about how the only thing more permanent than forever is never, and everybody thinks it’s going to be forever until it’s not i’ve been thinking about whether it’s a good thing or not because all the rock stars whose names we were screaming at concerts are middle-aged parents now and it’s weird, but i think it’s kind of cool too times change and things change and that’s okay you can’t be sixteen forever, and why the hell would you want to be? being sixteen was kind of a ******* nightmare growing up isn’t inherently bad, and if you’re gonna be peter pan then you’re gonna be lonelier than a lost boy and maybe i’m the kind of person who expects everything to fall apart, but life is equally destruction and rebirth everything disappears, everything’s gonna be different everything’s gonna be awesome everything’s gonna be awful think of it this way: everything’s gonna be wonderful just like everything’s gonna be terrible that’s just the way it is luck of the draw, life is a crapshoot and sometimes your hand is ****** but you’ve still got to play it anyways or you’re just gonna fold over like house of cards think of it this way: even in the darkest of nights the moon is always hiding out somewhere in the sky and the sun going to come up tomorrow i couldn’t tell you why exactly because i didn’t pay any attention in science class, i was too busying doodling in the margins of myself and looking for stars, but the sun’s gonna come up tomorrow it always has, and the sun’s reliable like that and i know that only thing that’s certain is that nothing is, and i know i’ve got no proof, but i’ve got a hunch that everything’s gonna work out and i know “you’ll be okay” always sounds kind of hollow but it does ring true and we’re still young enough to be dumb and we’re still young enough that we’ve got so many possibilities it makes me ******* dizzy and if you’re lucky enough to have the world in the palm of your hand, don’t clench your fist; don’t let it slip through your fingers don’t let go don’t let go

Is it insomnia when I don't care for sleep? The sort of sleep that is belligerent interruptions at each half past in the middle of every hour, intervals of interlopers awoken by invisible passersby floating enemies striking me with the hatred of their kinesis cerebral lightning at my heart or attempts at my suffocation as I wake to a coughing start, intruders invading my dream mind as well as its peace anything that would hurt me they revel in my breaking, I can hear the clicking of laughter of teeth... Deserts and all our cities should have crickets, yet Vegas feels like its been dying the quiet now replete no chirp of the lucky bugs nor busying of bees with their buzz rather its the fizzle of neon panic the beatitude of cheats the machinations of gamblers' defeat or sometimes mostly this deep in the twilight a swarm of Ninjas, Suzuki, Kawasaki roars toward their kabuki foot rubs a twenty gets you a dub rub you long time for an hour behind red doors Try to spank myself to sleep if not to exhaustion, but I can still hear the distant piercing screaming of latter days & soilent green the secret war as alien is to any sound sleep. They look like people we look like meat, the living dead their sake's flesh all torn away and beat up like faithful lovers that creep seduced by the sluice of the street / symphonies, of rocket ship Discovery Can't turn the volume down in the black of night when my mind's eye is behind a veil in the dark of 2:22 (in recovery) and still the aliens wretchedly wail... whilst i'm slumming in attempts at slumbering, the greys are watching humans lumbering and ******* two twenty two in the dim twilight morning...

Agnes: Wine, for the Greeks, brought more than burgundy to the screen, instead illuminant pinks and purples and yellows swirl and wirl and twirl in orchestrated dances of Spring. Cherubim soar, teasingly mocking these gods, drunk with passion and their grape wine while pegasi rest, swoop and land like swans to a water’s surface. Joy and ***** happiness, lovely and sound, they prance. In a swirl, in a wirl and in a twirl, you bring me back to my favorite scene, when Fantasia was my insight on art when my mother would sit and watch with me, instead of busying herself with others. I had not thought of that in years, I had not remembered the jolt to my system, to the system of a little girl, who, often alone had to create her own art, often had to imagine her own melodies. Agnes, you’ve brought the next jolt, I’m once again flying with the black Pegasus, swooping back to the dark living room, followed by a stampede of centaurs cherubim lulling me to sleep, swirling and wirling and twirling my own colors, carrying me back to her music.

Agnes Pelton, “First Spring Garland”
This aggravation to make it is shattering all my truth For my pinnacle of patience is bubbling in a soup Young and geared in a suit, no tie needed Because every step that I take will be one that is bound strategic Cousin, sister and sister moving forward I see it Stuck in my own beliefs, but will I ever believe it? I feel like my goals are old, but how do I know if I don't proceed with Simply starting to seed it dreams buried beneath the ground, waiting for the rain to seep in Guess I'm too busying sleeping, wondering, daydreaming When will this fiction end? When I will I then Begin? Let this crucifixion begin for my future is in a needle And that needle is holding threads, of my imaginary friends Let this phase be a state of promise and not a revolving trend I think it takes time for a person to commence to greatness Because what I feel inside has traveled from a basement To a place with, patience, prominence and perseverance My mental radio sounds clear, no fuzz or interference. I'm glad my soul can hear this.

Will I "Make It"
Climbing up your delicious eyes spilling harmonic Qualms placed under skin yelling your musical laughter Makes smiles on many adjacent faces Including mine which traces A picture decades to come Chatting with you warms my earthtop sad faces On a older life bombarded soul With procreated love child beckoning accidents Traveling a never broken copious routine Wanting a new heavenly body from The transparent Jehovah As I’m thinking This woman drives my wicked smiles Madly, As hair’s lifted by imaginary grips of wind gestures Lips singing with any whims ears from toes Hand’s taping to walking jam sessions anti-woes Is near to perfection on my optical viewers said If only she'd could see inside my weary tiresome head Sealing discreet looks stashed away in my Spirited soul dread feeling fearing eating possible future rejected misleading My romance ideologies via scaredy cat spoon ocean breezes As you are the sea and im the beach Waiting Longing for waves of Enlightening joyous enchantments To form connections belting silently behind Worrisome bee busying personalities Round alumni tobacco burners superfluous summoners sitting with hearts content Hoping on days with wondrous conversing on end From an angelic exhorting heavenly chorus breathing near me

I Like You the Most I like you the most when your Hands are on my neck. Your fingers are large and cold and Mold perfectly to the Small nape that directs a narrow Pathway to the Rest of me. And, I hate myself for being hopeful. I pretend to be Busying myself with books and papers and pens, When really, I am only waiting for the Light to hit your eyes and Electrify me. And, I am empty when It doesn’t. I accept the unwholesome absence of your Pale arms leaning against My door frame. My neck feels cold, Because I like you the most when your Hands are on my neck – Feeling for eternity.

I Like You the Most
They say if you want to know Where your heart is, Look what's on your mind When it wanders. I wonder where your heart is. I wonder if, When you lie under your blankets at night, You think of me. I know that's where you'll always be; In my heart, Tucked snugly into my thoughts. Lately I've been busying myself With other things. For the first time since we began, I've been focusing on other things. Before, I'd physically be in class, Or in dance lessons, Or eating dinner, But mentally, I was with you. Now, for the first time in a long time, I'm forcing myself to mentally be Where I physically am, Because the less I think of you, The less I hurt. This morning I lay in bed for hours. And thought about you, for hours. My mind helplessly wandered As I reminisced each of our memories. How did it all end? Though it's over now, Things never fully ended for me. I still want you. I still need you. I still think about you. I'd still do anything for you. Sometimes I wonder If it hasn't really ended for you either, Though you said it did. Sometimes I get physically ill Because I miss you so much. I go through withdrawals, Like a drug addict. Don't you miss me, dear? At all? I don't know how it could be over So easily for you, Especially since Nothing ever really went wrong. I know that my heart is with you. I know that now. And I hope with all of my heart That one day I'll find That your heart is with me too.

Where is your mind, when it wanders? (feb.2013)
The dark blue sky melds with the white speeding clouds, flying as fast as they can to catch the frolicking rain children. Beneath a beautiful guava tree, they start fighting and they split like amoeboids into three little amoeboids, circling and dancing to the tune of the wind the dark clouds come rushing and joining them. Heavy and larger they grow they can't stand anymore and starts pelting huge drops of water in a green garden valley washed by the sea and locked by its rocky steep on one side and tiny huts arranged like rows. Little children run out of their homes carrying paper boats full of joy and welcome Farmers smile and housewives keep busying for the rain has blessed their land. Darker and darker the night drew to a close and slowly Prayers issued from the tiny huts and people watched with joy and thankfulness for this much awaited imaginary night once again Where famine and drought come to a close.

Imaginary night
Today, I woke up to the idea of death Such a peaceful thought The kind of freedom that one fights for And still don’t achieve. My mind was convinced, but my body refused Strange connection, this. The mind demands something and the body denies Yet they reside together harmoniously. I looked out the window at the clear sky And unwillingly got out of bed Busying myself in the chores of the day Avoiding the thoughts of death. I know not the road I am on I have no destination in mind This route is unfamiliar to me and This loneliness makes all of this seem worthless In moments like these, I look for peace A way to end this misery After all, we all will die eventually

Death
i love the idea of footprints in the sense of people floating into your life and whether or not their presence is fleeting or something much more permanent whatever sidewalk that they step over to reach you will forever be stained or intricately designed depending on how you look at it i love the idea of footprints because each day is a new blank sheet, much like a fresh layer of snow, it's flakes falling away constantly like each minute that goes by slowly but steadily getting closer and closer to recreating the spotless canvas it once was, and while these seconds turn to hours and these snowflakes turn to avalanches, each indent and blemish in our personal blizzards gets covered up by the opportunity for new footsteps to be taken and new memories to be hidden and protected underneath the frozen tundra of each of our minds i love the idea of footprints because they track each foot that we travel as we discover new sections of the map inside of our own minds and as our fingers are busying themselves drawing out and discovering more areas our feet are left alone to leave their mark in the cracks beneath the sidewalk while our fingers tighten their grip in the gaps between each others' i love the idea of footprints because even if i don't know where to go anymore i'll just turn around and follow my own path back to yours

What do you choose to do In a life as complicated as you? We run here and there Busying ourselves with what we know Walking to and fro Figuring out how we should grow Or not grow... We seem to have such busy lives Doing or not doing Trying to make sense of it all But end up falling short What is this life that we know? We meet people We talk We dance We shop We work We study (or not) When times are bad... We cry We get sad We get angry And just give up When times are good We cry too We laugh We dance And maybe prance? But it's all the same for you and I When we do or not do Whether we like it or not Things happen Good things Bad things It's all the same For the good and the bad But when things get confusing Don't get hasty Slow down just a bit And maybe you won't get hit There are much things in life That we don't expect We know nothing about the future And that's what we should accept But still... During our days Whether it be Left or right Up or down This or that We still have to choose We still have to decide

"In life..."
all the noise which encompasses the voices brought to static swoons drenched architecture purchases wrought with metal and iron to whisk us to the pearly sheer moon all plagued within busying decay wilting upon thresholds of spinning stares clinging onto flowers trafficked upon despair how my palms are crossed and inked with delay the soil gathering in roots and stinging of clattering water drops the garden shutter despite of love as the voices carry in the breeze yet I start to realize it is all a facade to carry me away and I cry out to the distant stars like pebbles of emerald heroines, "for all I have done, what in return?" shall the heavens weep I shall sleep soundly yet I feel the chatter in the marrow of my bones maybe this twinkling sky isn't for me, as it chuckles lightly oblivious to its bite so plummet through this pearly moon in search for that greater beyond do not worry, my love maybe I'll return in orbit soon

Orbit
what does it mean to be lonely?‎ *the unwanted feeling. the no one cares feeling. the no one left for you feeling. the no one ones feeling. the saddest feeling 'cause everyone is busying with everybody but you. that kind of feeling.*
