Hello everyone,   I'm so very sorry … I feel horrible doing this, but I have no choice. You see, I have published my first book on Amazon/Kindle! This piece (and many others) had to be taken down because they do not allow published material to be available online for free. (Go figure) I wanted to leave the shell of the posts because I felt compelled to leave all your helpful and loving comments. (Silly sentimental, I know), but I also didn't want to just have the pieces disappear without an explanation. I feel bad enough as it is!   I owe ALL of you so, SO much for all of your reads, love, and support. It was YOU that gave me the gumption to FINALLY get off my **** and publish! Thank you all for the warm comments, camaraderie, and encouragement! I will still be here, reading, uploading and just being the Rascal that I am. How could I EVER leave you guys?   The book is called “The Way I See It – FictionPhilosophySoul Food” and it will be FREE for the first few days on Kindle Select, so watch for it, if you are interested. I hope that you go and grab it. If you do, I would also hope that you find it worthy, you would leave me a good review. That will help me get in the public eye! Soon afterward (2-3 days or so), it will be available in paperback. Find the book(s) here: www.amazon.com/author/jeff.gaines Or find the book(s), and all about me, here: www.JeffGaines.world   Soon after, I also hope to have my first novel (a supernatural thriller), called “Wanderer” available as well!   Wish me luck!

When shall we learn, what should be clear as day, We cannot choose what we are free to love? Although the mouse we banished yesterday Is an enraged rhinoceros today, Our value is more threatened than we know: Shabby objections to our present day Go snooping round its outskirts; night and day Faces, orations, battles, bait our will As questionable forms and noises will; Whole phyla of resentments every day Give status to the wild men of the world Who rule the absent-minded and this world. We are created from and with the world To suffer with and from it day by day: Whether we meet in a majestic world Of solid measurements or a dream world Of swans and gold, we are required to love All homeless objects that require a world. Our claim to own our bodies and our world Is our catastrophe. What can we know But panic and caprice until we know Our dreadful appetite demands a world Whose order, origin, and purpose will Be fluent satisfaction of our will? Drift, Autumn, drift; fall, colours, where you will: Bald melancholia minces through the world. Regret, cold oceans, the lymphatic will Caught in reflection on the right to will: While violent dogs excite their dying day To bacchic fury; snarl, though, as they will, Their teeth are not a triumph for the will But utter hesitation. What we love Ourselves for is our power not to love, To shrink to nothing or explode at will, To ruin and remember that we know What ruins and hyaenas cannot know. If in this dark now I less often know That spiral staircase where the haunted will Hunts for its stolen luggage, who should know Better than you, beloved, how I know What gives security to any world. Or in whose mirror I begin to know The chaos of the heart as merchants know Their coins and cities, genius its own day? For through our lively traffic all the day, In my own person I am forced to know How much must be forgotten out of love, How much must be forgiven, even love. Dear flesh, dear mind, dear spirit, O dear love, In the depths of myself blind monsters know Your presence and are angry, dreading Love That asks its image for more than love; The hot rampageous horses of my will, Catching the scent of Heaven, whinny: Love Gives no excuse to evil done for love, Neither in you, nor me, nor armies, nor the world Of words and wheels, nor any other world. Dear fellow-creature, praise our God of Love That we are so admonished, that no day Of conscious trial be a wasted day. Or else we make a scarecrow of the day, Loose ends and jumble of our common world, And stuff and nonsense of our own free will; Or else our changing flesh may never know There must be sorrow if there can be love.

A sigh signals some sort of disclosure. – glancing over his eyeglass frames at the slow downward tilt of her chest her gingham blouse rises again as she inhales energy for her words, words intended to clarify or confuse, he does not know. His own exhale and a frowning brow signal that he is listening- to judge whether her statement is real or fancy. Her words a mercury for her mood no gauge left as he guesses seeking to understand her, to crawl through her veins like a virus, to know her every desire, every expectation, even every fear. He is adrift in his own flaws, unable to grasp precisely her feelings, her expressions. His distrust is great whether of himself or of her. Salt honesty with caprice and tasty fare is spoiled. Gripping the arm of his chair, muscles straining to lurch forward, he escapes toward the door leaving her words to fill the hollow behind him. Tomorrow he may choose valor, today the fear of authenticity scares him to his den.

Fear of Authenticity*
Prescient, her essence Casts a demure persuasion,                 Endowed with verve and vision; Concept to consummation, The serenely possessed, Creator, originator, Allusion to the eternal azure, Logos of abstraction, Word and image collision. Tonal palette of faith infused reason Beauty and sublimity, Serve to season Verse, canvas and film, Mediating aesthetic, seminal senses blossom, Lyrical each permutation, Seeds of vibrant chroma diffusing the mystical. Visage and hair,  her figure haunted With perfection - a work of Art Nurtured and lived invocation, The canon of taste; Crystal for the ***** Devotional fragrance , Holistic ethos, melodic invention, Animated, pure - The embodiment of redemption.

because our dreams of leaf-canopies and lignin arrive at a certain variety of green, we will zither anew with song here in Bulacan; all the leaves are capsized brandishing inflorescences as naked as   the scent of petrichor girdled on the cobblestones: they are forsaken not by trees but by seasons only, a twofold deliberation of caprice: there is only two of what is spoken.    such is the warmth and coldness, missing their obvious targets, hesitant and abstruse,   scattered and at long last, never collected deftly camouflaged in the familiar drapery, “Tantusan mo!” as they cry for marks to remember, we touch the cicatrix to measure with our jagged hands how much we have forgotten. what we cease to remember descends deep, as wash-hand basins concur such depth, into the well of ourselves, later to discover such perilous foundling in the squall of either morning or evening,    still devoid of sense: still arguing whether there is much to reconcile with what has been found and what has been pictured    now, altered by such loss: this is danger, and so is nothing, swollen and tender, the waters of the estero reek of such remembering – we cannot ignore its perfume, oddly taking the shape of the next dagger slowly making its way towards the back of the skull to pare with river-run precision, what we all try to hold back inside; so as if to say,              “Tantusan mo!” to remember where     we last    took  off,  like a heron,    or a  bird, wary of distances.

Two walks at the park Leisure strolls on her ground Watching squirrels on tree bark Before I turn homebound. Today while passing along On them my eyes fell One in a bush alone A little away another squirrel. I wondered in my funny caprice If they have ever had a chance To exchange warmth and good wish Or they haven’t met even once. A little more daring in my whim I thought the distance for them too far So she roamed alone dreaming of him And he unknowing forever seeks her.

In the depths of the night, where shadows creep, Lie tales of darkness, so hauntingly deep. A moon cloaked in mist, a chilling wind's wail, Where spirits awaken, and courage may fail. Beneath gnarled trees, a graveyard awakes, Where restless souls wander, their rest at stake. With hollowed eyes and whispers of despair, They yearn for release from their eternal snare. Amongst the tombstones, a figure does tread, A specter in black, with a cloak like the dead. Her name is Lilith, the mistress of fright, With a wicked grin, she conjures the night. "Oh! Hear my call," she whispers in the dark, As she weaves her spells, leaving her mark. Bats take to the sky, their wings spread wide, Guiding lost souls, to the other side. In the haunted manor, spirits do dwell, Where echoes of laughter turn into a knell. Ghostly footsteps echo down the hall, As the present and past collide and enthrall. The clock strikes midnight, the hour of dread, When the veil between worlds grows thin, it is said. Ghosts emerge from their slumber, seeking release, Their ethereal presence, a haunting caprice. In the flickering candlelight, shadows dance, As witches gather, their potions enhance. With cauldrons bubbling and spells on their lips, They conjure enchantments, with mystical quips. Oh! Beware the night, when the jack-o'-lanterns glow, And spirits arise from the depths below. For Halloween's magic, a captivating lure, Where darkness and mystery forever endure. So, as the moon rises, casting an eerie glow, Embrace the enchantment, let your fears go. For on this haunted eve, when the spirits unite, We celebrate Halloween, in the shadows of night. But tread carefully, for darkness is near, And the spirits are watching, with ghoulish cheer. Enjoy the thrill, the ***** and the fright, On this chilling Halloween night.

Solstice stirs my Druid roots. Those roots entangle with my dreams. A language, strange and musical, celebrates the world unseen. The druids issue from the grove, solemn in their robes of white. The doors of time are open wide on this, the long year’s shortest night. Ovates divine and bards will speak, Singing in the Cambric tongue, The Druid raises arms on high to praise the power of the Sun. She lies upon the altar stone. The victim of the gods’ caprice Sunlight pours between the stones where blood was shed and breath has ceased.

Solstice
You live on the canal, by the little swan that whittles the sun. A sudden rush of clouds, a clatter of sandals - caprice of Dublin. I knew of Dublin and its grand canal from old books tan as sandals. I read Yeats for a swan, Joyce for castle clouds that yielded little sun. But you, you were the sun! You lit green Dublin from within. Clouds fled from the canals of your eye. "Swansies." And summer's far sandals were today's sandals: time shifted in the sun, took flight like the night swan through ancient Dublin. You sent letters from the canal, letters that divided clouds, only to calve new clouds. I've never worn sandals, not ever, but when the canal danced in my dreams, the sun pierced my foot in Dublin. You were my swan, my elegant swansie, killer of cloud, conquistador of Dublin in gladiatorial sandal, herald and avatar of sun, romantic of the grand canal. Let me taste unclouded sun - let sandals upend the canal - send swans by the dozen into Dublin.

Tuesday's Sestina
your skin is pale silk, my white hart, my Sol heart, your blood as it thrums is red Eucharist wine, your hair all the sun's godly glory and gold: so Gloriana, lonely amora, who'd not call you the one and the only? you speak of the sweet whispers that the waves could-- could!-- bring, you, all fragrant with frankincense and rosehips and thyme, you, avournine, flow to and away with the moon's ebb and sway, and who'd not shiver and tremble before you, loreley! you claim castle and crown with your easy warm grace, you claim thrones of ice then complain of the cold, and to touch your lips to petals is to touch her face: but Titania, appassionata nostra, caprice and impermanence, grace and countenance, our lady of the lake!

caprice for gloriana
Congressmen, police and ministers All can be particularly sinister When they take it upon themselves To think of us as shoemakers elves Fairytale beings who then madly Exist only to work for them gladly; Drudges to work for them out of sight, Creatures that give in without a fight. A sense of privilege causes this. As fate is always rather hit and miss It’s not granted by common sense, More like a caprice of something dense; A dark deity that is impressed by wealth Without regard to someone’s right or health. And the scary people the malady infests Seems unaware of the evil it ingests. Limelight and spotlights are the energy That often drives their ***** perfidy. But just as often, these fools don’t care Who knows of their arts, no need to share. They while away at greed and perdition And certainly need anybody’s permission. They only live to gobble and acquire And never need anyone call them ‘sire’. The most frightful of these lustful ones Are those who ply their will with guns. They decide the good from enemies And few seem good to these entities. They only plot their murderous plans Without regard to the rights of man. If you get in their way, you are foe. That is as far as their thinking goes. For that is the point here, after all. These creatures ignore propriety’s call. And the same with society, it is true. Those needs, for them, will not do. They work sorcery behind the scenes And create acts that are truly obscene. It matters not what is wrong or right They are ever-vigilant, day and night.

Raindrops now sprinkle an earlier day’s suicide, so too, lightning strikes my beer can. And come the moment where I’d wished the moon there, I’d yet to find the means to seize it. It’s an unwelcome catharsis as our cratered dream, along with the car, the keys, the carnal, and caprice, are possessed, tucked a deep blue jean pocket, and just above your rear, perfection had I ever traced it; now untouchable, rendered my choice. Raindrops now sprinkle an earlier day’s suicide, so too, lightning strikes my beer can.

Fawaz Poems Published 7 Drafts 3 DRAFT EDIT Fawaz 3m Untitled Justice in the cage of injustice* I saw the justice being robbed and **** in the broad day light , I touched Justice in the Nature but in the societies I didn't really touch it, where is the justice? there are no justice in this country but not in the world, even if we see it the question is did the justice see us?no, They have covered it face. they made some people rich and made some poor ,They say they saw Then they go and lie , They put the innocent people in the prison, for a crime they committed not, They let the guilty get away And make the innocent people rot aways is this the justice we are clamoring for they made injustice anywhere to threat justice everywhere ,they made law below some and made the same law above some ,Justice must be for all ,not just for the criminals and the riches. The justice is the only purest shape of the voice, Justice with no partial is what we, the innocent people, long for, justice is for all not for some but if there still no change, I think a time is coming when the children of injustice will not show how educated they are nor how tolerant , they will come out with guns ,they will come out with cutlasses and **** the justice by themselves and the atmosphere will never be control again , give us the justice not the Caprice.

Injustice in the cage of justice
You enchanted the moon, didn't you? Maybe you promised her a star or two? She hunts me with Orion's bow, pacing behind shadowed cloud, My celestial stalker ridin' low, wanly wrapped in misty shroud. She whispers stark, yet soft as a breeze-blown tune, Press on, my pet. You've done so well, we'll sleep again soon. But we've a fortnight to go if we're to come full circle by month's end. So many dreams still to sow...To reap those lupine howls once again. Serenity to insanity, delirious depravity to moon-magicked majesty, A cosmic clockwork cycle muddling my mind with lunar gravity. She pushes me to frenetic furies then pulls me to solstice solace, She masters tides in her caprice, what hope has a malcontent apprentice?

“It is essential in order to protect societyfrom the ambition, greed, and malpractice or caprice of rulers to ensure the inviolatibility of even the humblest home.  The right and power of the private citizen to appear to impartial courts against rulings of the state and against ministerial decrees of the day.  Freedom of speech in writing, freedom of the press, freedom of combination and agitation within the limits of long established laws.  The right of regular opposition to government.  The power to turn out a government and put another set of men in its place by lawful and constitutional means, and finally the sense of every individual’s association with the state and of some responsibility with the actions and conduct of the state.”

Churchill Expresses Why Dictators Shouldn't Be Welcome In Britain
A pregnant lass with eyes of glass has never learned to cope. Once set adrift her fall was swift, she slid a slipp’ry slope - She casts the Curse, the Holy Verse, and shoots a shot of dope, And stalks discreet Asylum Street her daily horoscope - The stray was struck by random truck which was her only hope. Well, Banjo Boy, with little joy, he strums her life entire: “The wayward waif was never safe; her stars were dark and dire. Born midst the rues and avenues where lack and want aspire Where no one heeds the childish needs that little ones require; Where faith survives in tempest lives, a swirl within the briar, Infinity grinds as time unwinds, until the winds expire. Her last caprice? The final peace that no one could deny her - Whipped by the flood, stray beads of blood are spattered on the spire; Though beads of sweat are cool and wet, cold clotted blood is dryer.” Though broken there, she’s fled the snare with dying thoughts serene. And now she’s dead, the rumours spread:  “her age? a sweet 16, With child, ***** her soul dyed red, her body so unclean.” A place is sought where she can rot, avoiding churchyard scenes, In limey pits, as well befits, behind forbidding screens; And all the while a dirge is styled on tattered tambourines Which echo through the human zoo in valleys of the Queens. Without rejoice, in hissing voice, near soil that’s seldom trod “In pious role, God bless my soul”, was mouthed with mitred nod, Neath scarlet trim with black, and grim, behind a robed facade - “She’ll burn in hell and sulphur smell”, spat Priest and man of god. Well, angels sweet with cloven feet, they sing in girl’s attire, But Banjo Boy, he’s playing coy while chanting in the choir: “The clueless search within the church to find what they desire - Beyond the nave, a gravelled grave, the final Rectifier” And when he’s through, without ado, he stacks some stones nearby her.

And now she’s dead, the rumours spread:  “her age? a sweet 16, With child, ***** her soul dyed red, her body so unclean.” A place is sought where she can rot, avoiding churchyard scenes, In limey pits, as well befits, behind forbidding screens; And all the while a dirge is styled on tattered tambourines Which echo through the human zoo in valleys of the Queens. Without rejoice, in hissing voice, near soil that’s seldom trod “In pious role, God bless my soul”, was mouthed with mitred nod, Neath scarlet trim with black, and grim, behind a robed facade - “She’ll burn in hell and sulphur smell”, spat Priest and man of god. Well, angels sweet with cloven feet, they sing in girl’s attire, But Banjo Boy, he’s playing coy while chanting in the choir: “The clueless search within the church to find what they desire - Beyond the nave, a gravelled grave, the final Rectifier” And when he’s through, without ado, he stacks some stones nearby her.

Black and White House
I have a question. What is real? Should it be based on what you can feel because now feel can be touch or emotion, I feel the suns warm rays the same as I feel my heart break and no one can tell me or you that either is not real because we can feel so I ask what it is you feel? I for one feel imprisoned by the Mold society has put me in as a man I have to be handsome,brave,loving, trusting and understanding but at the same time because I am a man I am by default a conniving, cheating, abusive, alcoholic, womanizing pig, why? Because " we are all the same" such caprice why? Why is it I must feel ashamed to be a man why is it I must be everything you want and don't want, the light of your day and the darkness of the night the Prince Charming in your life fairytale as well as the villain with the apple in my hand ,the apple of my eye is that what you want? I feel as if I'm just the means to an end the end being the moment I yield to this mold these confines in my mind why do I have to feel like I'm the enemy? how is it my fault? you're the one who laid in the sands of his beaches indulging in that forbidden fruit from the garden of eden, your tears now fueling its sea,  but all i hear are your cries of betrale his name the lyric of choice but I see, I should take the blame its what is wanted of me the good guy but the moment I deviate from your plans I am the evil one I'm the reason for these broken hearts mine and yours I'm the devil can't you see the flames you set In my personal hell in my mind in my soul why is it I'm a mockery?

*I want to wake you up with kisses between your legs and taste the dreams you've had of us, and turn them from a lustful fantasy to a heart-pounding reality.*

Lustful Caprice
Your soul; all its liberation. Amorphous, I see it in my dreams in the form of its purity. Crystalline. I can never catch it But it captures me. My only caprice is to love and chase after it. The feeling I feel from all your presence; Your dulcet soul Encompassing me, I am enraptured, and can not let go, You're the light You are ethereal. The energy you bring to me is exuberant. Finally I've found my felicity. And I am free. The way you just exist in your form , On your own Incorporeal in your world. Thanks for letting me in. You fly and so naturally just exist, Contentedly pleasing, So beautifully incandescent. In all my dreams where you are my vision, I see you absolutely quiescent. All your raidiance giving me what I needed. I can't find on earth What I find in you. You in your power defying gravity, In a sapphire mist, in your own portion of the world, where darkness never lives Nor visits. A place so serene, That is why I only see you in my dreams. When I am somnolent, and bound to fall down and lay silent, Witnessing your spherical tranquility with no vestige when I awake, You take me to my highest point when I am destined to break. You are transcendent and truly amazing. I love you in all your lilt sussuration.

Seasoned Love's silent discourse, Dusk of the long distance, Beneath the mantle of lament The peak bloom, gnawing decay, Obscure The weight of favor; Annealing fire, moulded by Winds of duration Unfastening the raw surf of sorrow. Incipient caprice, theft of occlusion Colored by common defiance, Vile tremors of privation- Native enclave, The province of Vacant, age-eaten elucidation. The tangled weave, pathos and ethos Vested Interior acquisition, Furrowed paths of countenance Evincive and drawn, Affinity found, inhabiting the palisades Of Immersion. A furtive glance harbors The trained gaze whose Immanent flame- Emergent Serous source, Imbued piercing latency; A taste of The fountainhead. Unprobed theater of the absolute. Thin supple pith Identity sealed in skin Perambulator of meaning and Lineaments of cure. Bearing the image of ubiquity Perceives in the other, Immortality. Sacramental Eros, Subsumes the Capacity to treasure. ©2013 W.S. Warner

The Immanent Flame
It is for no ill will, no caprice on the part of fire, but for love. Man wakens fire from sleep, feeds her, cares for her, and keeps her alive. And so she smiles on him with friendly light, warms him, whispers to him mysterious songs, and drives away all that would sting, bite, harass, or harm. For as man loves fire, so fire loves man and delights in his company, all the more in wild and lonely places.

Have You Ever Wondered Why Campfire Smoke Follows You Wherever You Stand?
As I ***** the streets of town, buildings made of grey and brown Speak to me of people and events I still remember. Steps upon well-trodden ways, rain makes blacks upon the greys Painting scenes among the maze, from a long lost warm November. We once lived on this side-street, our apartment there, small but neat Moving in we fought the snow that came early that November. We didn't have many things, but winters all gave way to springs, And summer nights gave us wings to launch us into each September. Many of them passed that way, weekdays of work and -ends of play, Camping on cool clear autumn nights warmed to fire's final ember. Years passed by uncounted then, new homes we found on new streets when Our spaces seemed too small, and to the movers we'd surrender. Walking round I see them all, the homes we made in this town so small A lifetime spent and good times to remember. Finally I walk o'er the hill, past the campground now quite still To a peaceful lot just past the mill, where she went to rest one cold December. My footsteps give me some small peace, how happiness came with such caprice When we lived among these streets that I soulfully remember. We loved the leaves and cool of fall, the change of seasons, first snow squall And the love was greatest in our very last November. The change of month took her away, how lost I felt on that sad day How can I but hate the first day of December? I miss her arm that fit with mine, I miss the way that her eyes shine Just every second of lost time, since we loved our last November.
