"bygones" poems
Casualty: my interest fading Once waxing moon now seen waning And I did concede your irksome warning And watched as the rest played out So let bygones be gone, fallen out by the side Of this road, worn down, still restless, keeping straight Eyes glinting off token little bits of hospitality Mother nature being so inclined at times The stress so unnerving, I hardly doubt it But tension is eased once it comes to acceptance And I accept in full, finding time to unwind Winding stretch of lonely road, dotted here and there by An occasional landmark Or a lonely tractor pulling behind it Iron bars, old and rusted Found in their hold Bales of hay or A small little pond With a bench beside it Holding initials carved against the grain With a heart surrounding As mine beats slower At last, the sun begins going down And the moon grows brighter Even in its state And my feet move faster Though my body is withering I feel this separation growing As my mind takes flight and leaves me Behind, in the twisting twilight And alone, I walk along

Jackal in his church pants, Bad kid with punk jams, Cramming nonsense in his conscience, Skateboarding prophets, Dividing light into chambers, Bag of **** for his neighbors, Turned into a living demon bleeding thru the paper, Applesauce in the inside, A coconut shell for the front, Pineapple knives for the slaughtering, Right into a strawberry's gut, He was not a normal scorned, occulting youth, But the lore of a regretful teen plaguing the afternoons, Till that strawberry gut cracked his coconut noggin, And shall he rest in bygones and Hanna-Babara monsters,

Kaleidoscopic Turkey ****
May these cold waves be bygones, May the crops be ripened & harvested, May your family be full of health. Happy Lohri to North Indians, Happy Pongal to South Indians, Happy Makar Sankranti to all. Come let us all sit encircling the bonfire, Come let us all pray by offering peanuts, Come let us all be blessed with sunlight.

Happy Lohri & Happy Pongal
Ah deceit, you wicked ******* creeping up uninvited, as always no one sees you coming none will know when you’re gone your delicious lies stay but for an instant and here still, you find a cue to salt the exposed wounds. You were never missed your many forms, vibrant faces the infamy and calumny stories unchecked and forgotten buried under the moniker of bygones. Yet the scars remain, deep cuts betrayal, but never fills. The entrusted deceiver your snake in the grass silence is deadlier than a sharp tongue this venom cannot drown a writhing heart hope, kindling another tragedy the reasons are always above par emotions run amuck behind bars. The tongue blackens every time you sever the threads which bind loyalty leaving the void to **** away the remains into a crushing dark abyss the face carries a smile that never fades the heart has long since withered to naught now, it cheats itself to bitter death.

Deceit
The trees juice swallowing Dread-locks opening the key to my heart Pulling Amber Agate to the end wishing the wagon was my good luck hand So helpful than my hallucination struggling wilderness mission Apple abandoned Mcintosh her computer The thirst compelled her So Gingerly lemon tea 4 -2 beer pockets Four letters not to like H-E-L-P____$$$ if you only knew abandoned hike Imagining stew of rabbits Four people Fast Wendy 4 meals for 4 Sahara desert burger The Amber ghost of two wrinkled catalyst Did time desert me 4:44? Paralyzed list No Star wars may the force be with Amberlized Quicksand lowered   water was drying   Her abandoned party type Diva evaporated lava Amber the corner of her lip all pruned couldn't sing Slenderman slumber nails and dirt Amber people are the strange wagon getting hurt 1- Hot it is (..) 2- Is it wrong to feel abandoned 3-Wrong being sold out to Uncle Sam What was? 4- Was she blinded all alone S-O-S 5- SOS surrender distressed wood belong? 6- Belong to be dumped near a wagon deadbeat song 7- Song didn't move lonely emptiness , please help 8- Help wanted not just any sign 9- Sign was stolen and Amber rose 10- Rose so ember plain and desert storm he gulped 11- Gulped left with one (.) 12- One far two stars bygones 13- Bygone the last line 13 I= phones Help______ deleted numbers Now don't disappear on me I was abandoned too many times The dirt and the sand stayed still No cell phone picture to install

The levels of loneliness of a poet of longevity ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The levels of loneliness of a poet of longevity. Have I been there today ? But it’s easy to be. Ever heard the expression “ idle hands n devil” Loneliness fills the empty void if you are idle Expanding loneliness to fill that barren space Virtual reality I know that’s not the answer Ever watched the kids these days at play ? Levels of loneliness expand within availability See when spare time gathers you start to feel Occasionally being reminded of those bygones Friends and family you’ll not see again is real. Let that not bring you down, try meditation. Only then can you believe you are in control Not giving yourself time to be at all maudlin Each day loneliness can be kept at bay. Loneliness is a dull sloth that can be tamed In not letting things get to you in any way. Not giving up to the inevitability of old age. Even if bits keep falling off your body ev’y day Stoop n build ‘em up again with worn fingers So many times in life you seem to hit the rocks Oh yes I know ,you say , “ tell me how you feel” Feelings ? Well I’m pretty sure you’ll fill y’socks Anyway , they all can see that you’re still real Poets are a very special breed of person. On a scale of one to ten I guess a nine. Experience fills their minds to overflowing To the point where they’ll burst or put it right On that occasion best sit an’ write a poem Friends can then receive it straight overnight Love each friend you have “Without condition” Only then can see that friendship is alright Nothing ventured,nothing gained , a fine ideal. God granted us the sacred power to choose Ethereal guides stand there in our background Vicissitudinous opportunity presents itself. I as a poet and friend I know this to be true. True as the nose upon a happy poets face. Yours is the life , yours the opportunity anew. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written by Philip November 18th 2018.

If God is the book then life would be the pages in him, for us to study and turn to each new page of her. There is so much paper here, but no place to start a fire. A fire of words and dreams to chase. Will you run with me, with feet wide awake? Please do, and I won't be scared to bleed for you when the time comes. These words I have don't dream lifeless or die in corral conversation or in a helpless blind study. I will help you see it is in fact that God's home is make-believe with no welcome mat to greet you. Maybe God never learned to let bygones just be gone. Maybe this is why you have never seen the glorious Matriarch or heard her voice, but I bet it sounds a lot like the space between a gunshot and a black male's body hit by the bullet right before the screams. Did you know this is what black feels like? These pages feel like an eighth-grade suicide poem written because it is solely triggered by life, and since life is so freaking triggering and our only real competition, then I will write words that are weapons. I will write real-life pages of myself, that is more jazz than blues, more biggie than Pac more Prince than Michael. I will write myself out this padded room call earth, because after all heroes can dream too, and our thirst can become hunger and quickly I learned to eat my own words and breathe in endless possibility in a world where breathing is  no longer a privilege Just a means to be necessary. Jesus! I got a life with no religion and still, I manage to turn doubt into rhinestones right along with these pages of myself. I will turn page after page as if I were Jesus turning the other cheek, and like Jesus, I can take all my dislikes and burdens and turn the into sunsets. I will teach my pain to laugh. Ignorance is not bliss, it is kind. It teaches us to look deep inside of ourselves to see the word of God, and I have seen it, I have seen I am half human and half star and my DNA is all angelic. God wrote his first poem in blood right here on Earth. Her pen never felt writer's block. He never suffered inside the ink. Do you know the difference between God and everyone else? She never starts emotional fires to burn pages of himself and herself as we do.

The trouble with writing a relationship through technology is that the bygones are never gone. Why do I pour a drink in your absence and settle to re-read our old fights, heartbreaks like *********** lips parted, heart racing? I shudder through those weeks where you petted me, darling but could scarcely afford to feed me the same heart being doggedly masticated in the maw of another I trace over my retinas the lines where you didn't, wouldn't, couldn't love me, they scan me for my identity. My mug shot, beside hers. After how little it meant, how can you possibly love me now? I could edit these now, you know, you're able to do that. Everything I wish I had been and said. The pages left blank, I should've painted red. In the spaces, hiatuses, I recall your ill-suited suitors I can't tell whether I feel grief, jealousy, or ecstasy. At the time, you know, it was like falling upon The Secret Garden unbefouled by poison nor passion to inhale the heady scent of white rose and discover the brim of someone else's hat beneath the foliage. The place wasn't secret. Oh, it wasn't mine. Never ever was mine. I'm ahead of myself. Oh, for want of technology. We courted on Facebook and Gmail, it was a convenient torture, given the circumstances. Now my mate belongs where I do. Loving, tenderly, wisely true. I cannot start loading the page for the future so much as delete our archive, a prelude to love written in diminished chords, sung by the jilted and ghosts.

*Don't make me laugh Your not in love with me Let me tell you why It's just your fantasy Cause this is not love You surely are mistaken You've never felt love  or anything close to it Cause you never had  love to under stand You were too busy with pleasing Standing up to expectations Trying to fit a larger than life figure Chasing dreams that were impossible You drove yourself harder  Hoping that somehow you'd make up for the affection you did not receive. Your running on empty  And empty is all you can give. Love is not keeping yourself bottled And taking flight for the smallest threat. To your grandiosity. Love is not sending cryptic clues Trying to gauge responses Love is not in hiding But in making itself felt Love's presence is silent Yet the warmth radiates. So I have nothing to expect from you. Your tethering is not astonishing I can understand the see-saw you feel inside. An emotional wave you fear to ride. So it's best we let bygones be what they are meant to be. Don't start the process all over. Try not to kindle the spark Cause the fires have blown over. I've healed myself, of the emptiness you've left behind. I am not turning back this time. My resolve is deep,  my mind made up. I have promises made to myself. To live a full life and always be content. So, heads up I walk into my future Closing the door of my past. Letting go of the riddle of a relationship And leaving the hurt behind. You are now a closed chapter. The book I could not complete.*

I want to cry in a scarlet robe A vestment of my own demise I want to trickle into tears My soul drip out right through my eyes To empty out into the streets This body that was never grand And flow away with ***** rain And stain the mother earth and land An uneventful, empty death A toast to all my useless life The sting of nothingness quite felt For nothing wields a lonely knife Goodbyes bygones from other days I was a lie that came and went When life and death were cards to cheat And not dull guests at the main event

I never said I loved you, John: Why will you tease me day by day, And wax a weariness to think upon With always "do" and "pray"? You know I never loved you, John; No fault of mine made me your toast: Why will you haunt me with a face as wan As shows an hour-old ghost? I dare say Meg or Moll would take Pity upon you, if you'd ask: And pray don't remain single for my sake Who can't perform that task. I have no heart?--Perhaps I have not; But then you're mad to take offence That I don't give you what I have not got: Use your own common sense. Let bygones be bygones: Don't call me false, who owed not to be true: I'd rather answer "No" to fifty Johns Than answer "Yes" to you. Let's mar our pleasant days no more, Song-birds of passage, days of youth: Catch at today, forget the days before: I'll wink at your untruth. Let us strike hands as hearty friends; No more, no less; and friendship's good: Only don't keep in view ulterior ends, And points not understood In open treaty. Rise above Quibbles and shuffling off and on: Here's friendship for you if you like; but love, No, thank you, John.

No, Thank You, John
With so many resentments built up in your soul You cannot be released from your past Holding them inside burns a hole in your spirit While your spirit is burning up fast Are you so sure that the resentment you hold Is not just an endless excuse To not face the music of your own mistakes Perhaps it is time for the truth Often it is wise to let the past be the past And bygones be what they are But if the fire of resentment is out of control Look inside first, do not look afar You will find that which you hold Can be released by making amends It is never to late to say I am sorry Bringing the fire of resentment to an end

Fire of Resentment
I have a vision and a goal In my heart and mind, Of a new and a great awakening; And where the thirsty volcanoes Shall cry our loud for blood; And where the mountains Shall lie flat on their faces; And where the wise aunt Shall rule over the jungle in wisdom; And where the wild bamboo Shall provide edible fruits for mankind; And where the dark moon Shall rule over the lights and day; And where both the South and the West wind Shall hold their peace indefinitely; And where realities in nature Shall live without principles; And where the ****** sea Shall boil in an unquenchable rage, Seeking vengeance on the wicked enemy; And where the sky shall turn red and Shall war against the flaming earth, Nevertheless, in all these There shall be a mental re-birth, We shall excel in progress and in pride, We shall officiate our own destiny, We shall discover our mental capabilities, Which is the road to our common destiny. II Yes, I have a vision and a goal Still in my heart and mind Of a new and a better life, In which all men, women and children Of goodwill and a passion for excellence Might be able to express themselves freely, Without force, fear or favour, And where life’s opportunities and times, Might be open freely to all; And where all mankind Shall walk at liberty in solidarity; And where equity and equality Shall be our hallmark; And where starvation, sorrow and suffering That evil trio, Shall be no more; And where dedication, discipline and determination, That just trio Shall penetrate our souls and spirits; And where a new start With a just course, Really might be possible to all, Forgetting past failures and errors, Nevertheless, in all these We must let bygones be bygones Where liberty and love is concerned, Now is the hour of a fresh emancipation With an honest and fair purpose. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]

In a distance an emptiness echoes, another lonesome dove's sigh is carried away with the leaves silence annulled by tempest gusts as late autumn winds belatedly lay bare the trees; the sad song in the wind repined for golden days bowing sun ripened amber fields dancing with the moment's sway now windswept wild feathers   chase after the waning sunlight bucking prevailing headwinds just beneath heaven's glow sail away! — sail away! way up on high! O' birds of a feather sail away! begone — bygones — begone homeward bound from north and south on  an algid heavenward flight Jesse Stillwater ... winter solstice ... 2018

Sweet liars and their sugar coated lies… Root from their heart and branch out in the skies… Their innocent souls and deceptive eyes… Their polished shoes and branded ties… In the beginning they seek your attention… The next desire is your affection… By recital of their past and rejection… Either from them or from other direction… “Don’t sympathies sweetheart, I am a strong man… Okay”… “My heart comes free with this ring and bouquet”… “Say yes, my love, we’ll plan a holiday”… “Let’s go shopping for your lingerie”… The candles are lit and the dinner is served… The charm and chivalry is observed… His scent and accent leaves you unnerved… He is definitely the prince you thought you deserved… Ah! And you fall in the trap and love as well… Dreaming of him and his tempting propel… You talk of him and his stories you tell… Of the vamps he dated and your own love spell … He has your trust and you are happy high… His kisses and touch you can’t deny… “He loves me so much” you amplify… You light his nights like a firefly… Now when you feel the bygones are supplanted… The road gets a little slanted… When you are more often taken for granted… His fluctuations show the doldrums are planted… You inspect the change and the causes aligned… And come across the love texts enshrined… You feel shattered and maligned… The way you are portrayed and opined… You demotion as ex is celebrated with a raised toast… With his new flame and he playing host… You embrace your strength with care utmost… His vows and love , haunting you like ghosts… You want to cry till you paralyze… Blaming thyself for this jeopardize… The arduous task to analyze, summarize and self sterilize… From these sweet liars and their sugar coated lies… ~Kathaa Kirti

Be wary, be intelligent don't lose hope and don't forget that though you believe in death marking the end of your problems and while it certainly is the key to your problems it certainly isn't Looks are deceptive It seems, and virtually feels as though it can lead you out of ALL the ****** misery in your life its kinda.. untrue.. because after you die.. you are to go to the Underworld.. and please, lets not talk about it I dont have a personal experience about it but seriously You will face just the same problems again is it worth it to leave your progress right now? You are doing great, and death has doors which you, aren't required to knock on for a while A REALLY LONG WHILE so please, enjoy the season of christmas meet people under mistletoe yes, I am serious about that and live and see the brighter side of things and also watch Sherlock season 3.. I like that show, you will too Just live and let bygones be bygones If this is too cliche well.. Sorry about it. I am trying to convey a point

Bewary and Forewarned about Death
Routinely lark, though this day depth therein bemused as why the warbling fluter turned instilled and sung laments, residing within and perched unkind; that brittler branches - spurned. Melodic angst has never sprung so dim and tunes of fathomed trebles; parted love? Perchance the ballad pours a swansong hymn; and from aloft the skies - returns a dove. If song an' bird be taken dazed with stars beliefs contort and bowing strings apart nor stealth be known as fervent dwells the scars, though bleak the lust for any other heart. O' feathered, pennate cherub play her whim! Remain upon the sill and bygones swim.

The Wistful Dove (Sonnet)
The Cannibal’s dream and the inverse conclusion Twist of the seam, sunken scattered illusion Shouts of the spy fastened tight to the pylon Sacrifice sweating; bygones can’t just be bygones Mustard gas moans, whip lashed in the fire Cunning glass masters burned alive at the pyre Miscarriage minister delivers the sponge-bath Alive at the eve of divination, the wrath Blasphemous cries vindicate putrid powder Sweet crystal cradling, swaddling sheets on the shrouder Arcane sessions in the cavern deep Turbulently righteous ideas to reap Divine purification at an alchemy flame A zenith of nostrums, bad medicine, blame Strip off the layers and chant benediction A hand, from the mind, reaching out for conviction Sharp swords of lead, heavy, shifting to gold Sentient beings search for truth to behold Excavate, deviate, a stranger to demonstrate Colloquial séance with panic to elevate Head leads body, a path of insurrection The soul and the mind at war for correction The crotches of branches, slits of the eyes A crevasse of lonesome; wedged in, we writhe Anticipating the sting that comes with the change Of transforming the cave into a mountain range

Civil Rites
insomniac tangible darkness let me take a picture of you paint you on the wall scribble your name on waters in your naked form bend you, so no one else knows you but me, alone insomniac darkness — tell me my muse, let me taste you, bewildering, like arrows in disarray and white birds surreal as falling seraphs and forked tongues moist darkness what is sulking inside you must submerge with manta rays hemmed in circles long ago curled horns probing, testing bygones, frozen dawn condensing my azure dreams ashore

"I'm walking away, I'm starting a new. You could of came with me but that was on you. I'll find a new world full of colors. New memories, new smiles. One foot after the other, let bygones be bygones. You were a beautiful soul, gave me so much magic & knowledge. So I'm at peace now with kissing you goodbye. I'll take the lessons yout gave me & craft a boat that will take me to new heights. I'll love yout forever but at a distance it's fine. I'll take back my bruised heart & stich it up with time. The last grain of sand in my hourglass has fell. So I was slowly walk away with a heavy heart. I'm pushing myself forward. It's a start. This must have been what you wanted all along, to drift away & become strangers to one another..to forget the magic I felt. Goodbye."

When you feel taken for granted thinkin' they just don't care wanting to move away again, but again, you don't know where burned-out, tired of trying to be all the bossman wants to be everything to everyone, reading in between the fonts We who sit beside you in the office and the stall who sing along, the same old song, while you stand and take the fall in a cubicle, with mistletoe, this lonesome caroler hums it's all benign, please don't resign before the yule tide comes Want to see you here on Christmas don't leave us all alone want to hear you 'woe ** ho' again so don't slam down the phone don't make that snap decision when the pressure starts to build just let the steam out somewhere else and let your heart be filled... with joy At the meeting, you suggested wrap the garland and a bow and all the trimmings, here and there around whose neck, we know the one about the lighting the star atop her head and now the head of operations, wants to move you to the shed. They just don't understand you, your work is so complex you didn't sign his Christmas card but the boss still signs your checks so don't be rash, just try to hash it out and make a deal, and let bygones be gone before the office Christmas meal. Want to see you here on Christmas please don't leave us all alone want to hear you 'woe ** ho' again so don't slam down the phone and don't make that snap decision when the pressure starts to build just let the steam out somewhere else and let your heart be filled... with joy

By Arcassin B & wolf spirit WS: little eyes, what do you see reflections of what we're meant to be i'm looking at you, you're looking at me but do you really, truly see? what lives within the heart of me? AB: little eyes, tell me is it me, Directions in what you choose will be The vision is clear, glancing at my face, Do you invest all your time in empathy? should I give you a chance to be free? WS: little eyes..how large is your world do you look to me to see your dreams unfurled? i look at you with tired eyes open to prospect and sweet surprise looking into your little eyes AB: little eyes, wont you tell me your name, Receptive to your realities of this place Staring at a bunch of leaves, What in the can you retrieve and believe, Watching as the world dies WS: little eyes, how much do you see? do you reach within to the soul of me? can we make bygones into goodbyes languid, restful in these little eyes?

"Little Eyes" (collab w/ Wolf Spirit)
A lips that touch like an angel Speaks so heavenly towards me If a thousand of shooting stars would fall I would then write all of it in my poetry Hail the angel of mercy It fly by my shoulder and set me free! It was never my intention to fall in love in a passionate way But he makes me feel so special what else can i say? I am human yes i am! i am stronger than i had never been..this is what i am.. My life once been in a constant misery I had never felt contentment never been so happy.. If its wrong then you can cut the life in me If its a sin then who are you to judge me? I only did what i think for me is best I only did what makes me happy atleast.. Been in my cave for a long time My best of friend is this ****** bottle of wine All i want now is to be free To live my life not on lies but all in all honesty! Loyalty, that is the word I once made it my principle and now it seems absurd! To be in love means you have to suffer? But what if, if it makes you feel better? I am human yes i am! I am not afraid to love and get hurt For EVEN love broughts you a thousand needles I will take that needles I rather be strong walking forward than be a wussy and being idle.. Point your finger at me, judge me! what wrong have i done besides choosing to be merry? Rather than be the slave of my own misery Its my ****** life just set me free! I rather choose to be the master of my own self Than to be a stranger now of what i felt yes i am human i am! Now accept the truth and let bygones be bygone..

The hardest thing about closing the door is watching the silver lining drift to the floor, ground to dust and swept under the rug, floors are much quicker to let bygones be. The hardest thing about closing the door is the screech of hinges boring through skull like worried whispers heard before that made the iron oxidize. The hardest thing is clicking the lock and seeing both keys on the table top, then clicking your heels but you're already home, just seeing how empty it is on your own.
