"casper" poems
When clocks strike twelve and trainings end — lurk not, they say, in school at night. Age-old stories tell of how there’re things that throng in fluorescent light. In toilets silence screeches loud, for when school’s empty, they arise: Ghosts of pregnant girls lie wailing, with cleaner-uncle poltergeists. For now I sit on chilling white, resounding prayers in my mind; my heart racing with dire wish a friend of Casper’s I won’t find — Then eeeeeeek! Is that a door creaking? Perhaps it stemmed from my own mind, Hinges sing as they fly open! Thou who entered, oh be my kind! A thud thud thud as shoes traverse across the glinting marble floor; and louder, louder as they get much nearer to my sacred door! THEN SILENCE or so I wish! But a loud knock takes my breath away. The unlatched bolt lies there lazing HOW’D I FORGET TO LOCK TODAY? A hand thrusts in so hard and swift, door’s open ‘fore I can react! I’m facing now a girl my age, She bawls at me with little tact — Eyes bloodshot and tummy bloated, “YOU DISGUSTING PIG! HOW DARE YE?!” I dash out of the girls’ toilet before she tries to castrate me.

COMEDIC TOILET GHOST POEM
I feel like a friend-- a true friend, is more than a profile on a website. And peace is more than a handshake agreement brought by the outcome of a gruesome fight. I know that self worth is more than someone's opinion, and in no other dominion but mine own to foster and care for.   And I can see that happiness is more than having money, sure, cause most of us laugh everyday here, and come on, we're dirt poor. And I pray the human soul is more than Casper's counterpart, somewhere between the heart and the pancreas. And God, faith is so much more than cryin' and dyin' over spilt milk between religions. And in case you were confused, "I love you", is more than pet names, bed games, and *** Music is more than pimps, hoes, and MTV Shows, and T-Pain singin through a computer. Believe that life is more than grades and degrees, or drugs and disease, or the 'ABCs' of success that some old man wrote a thousand years ago. This poem has to be more than words strewn together to voice my discontent at the status-quo.. Hell, the word "more" itself is more than a one-syllable statment that what we lack in the present is just a larger quantity of the **** "we already have", and no! The power of your silent agreement is more than that of my voice alone, so... What is "more"? In many ways, "more" is the friend you never had. More peace in the world would end all the mindless bloodshed. More respect and selfworth would bring beauty back to youth, especially to the women in the world, that sell their unique souls to look like the cover of Cosmo. More faith, that grants serenity in the times of hardship, will be the soothing hand of an Angel on our shoulders as we say, "I love you" to our enemies, martyrs for a better world. More positive music will inspire us, to be the change we want to see in the world, today, instead of, "Waitin' on the World to Change "♫ ♪ ♫♪ So ladies and gentlemen, make a decision: if you want to be critics and vipers, war mongers and hope-snipers, ignore my intention, and live with more division. But, if any of you are artists starving for meaning and inspiration, if you envision a world of more than... THIS... Then let a word change a feeling, change a thought, change a meaning, change your mind... And get more out of life.

In my pursuit of a higher education I am now starting to study the process of human decomposition And how strange we all rot away like road **** and plant vegetation. I see the word Casper and my memory takes me back to when I was a child Remembering he was a sad and lonely invisible cartoon character. I am now reading it is a proven scientific law, that after you pass And you give up your ghost, your body then becomes A breeding ground and you are the decaying host. Trying to hide the evidence you’re now digging a shallow grave Don’t do that because it takes eight times longer Thinking about submerging in water? Yes, it’s a little quicker But if someone did you seriously wrong and unfair The quickest way to decompose them is, Just leave them hiding under some brush and in the summer open air So then the flies, insects and bee's’ can make a home in their hair. Sir Isaac Newton told the world how gravity should behave And now a modern man proved it is no longer so I can see now, Newton is raging hard and deep inside his grave. I have not a single fear the only thing that scares me is, I know without any doubt now that I am insanely brave Trust me I’ll drag your corpse also and hide it in my make shift grave. I’m out on a night prowl to change Casper’s law And prove to you all that it was really only just a theory Reading books about death gives me a thrill, Better pray and hope I don’t someday become terminally ill Everything I do stems from my madness and with it, Premeditated thoughts and also a great conspiracy.  (SirCARSr. 3-2-2013)

I am being pulled from left to right Every candidate claiming to be the light Promising heaven, earth and even twilight Once they win they forget you and take flight. Gun to our heads by the future leader 'Better vote wisely or become a casper' Ballot boxes filled with forged paper Hold your peace or it is a recipe for disaster. If wishes were real, beggars would ride Voted for a meal, while the politicians lied my country is a deal, sold as a cheap bride All they do is steal, it's time to say goodbye. You know we are back to the embers' there's always someone's blood they forget to remember Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms! We are in a fine mess with honorable villions.

Casper The Homosexual Friendly Ghost
There's a funny sort of emptiness that passes over me as I walk past the paperback erotica that tuck themselves away in the shelves of the local grocery store in places that are simultaneously completely out in the open yet completely ignored looking, as I do, with mock casual interest and unfeigned disdain. Who are these intended for, really? Are they for the snuggly-wuggly, ***** cozy-woozy, wishy-washy and warm family of four comparing chicken nugget prices and weighing the health benefits of vegetable medley versus succotash? Or are they for the uni flatmates walking huddled together for warmth or protection or both, seeing as they're wearing only sandals and denim shorts and this is the first time they've been grocery shopping without mum, that giggle loudly together to mask how homesick they really are while they compare the calories in Campbell's versus Progresso. They went with Progresso if you were wondering. Or are they meant for those who are cooking for one? For those who have no need to compare prices or calories out loud. For those who are well acquainted with the old, familiar tiled aisles as they have no one to take out to dinner. Is this where they are to find company? Betwixt the pages of a badly penned, lighter than marshmallows, more shallow than the kiddie pool, more transparent than Casper, not-good-enough-to-be-bloody-compost "literary" garbage? Is this -assumed- female supposed to curl up with one of these slabs of drivel and feel **** and aroused in her baggy sweats and ill-fitting hoodie after she ate a microwaveable chicken *** pie all by her lonesome? As a single girl who often cooks for one, I am offended by this. Personally, I think Lestat is ten times sexier than Edward, Salai is way cuter than Fabio, and Christian Grey couldn't S Mr. Rochester's D. What I'm saying is- Grocery Stores. YOU are the primary reason for this pathetic f-ckery. Everything else in the store can be compared for quality. So why not apply that same knowledge to the book arena. Signed, A Concerned Shopper p.s. Please extend the validity date on the chicken *** pie coupon. Thank you!

You can see how Endorsements feed your I That Shy Ghost whose Casper does not exist Fare alone for Cause to swallow your Pride Which when accomplished guides your Star at Best Just how often do we see your Girls cheer And Pray for Purpose very Few will get Hymns they Sing; From Media beg you to hear Even when such Few harbour Good Intent I guess those Executives knew your Cue What would Attract and what would sure Pursuade Even at Cost your Temple lost its Due And they cry Happy at your Virtue, fade. Those Trunks still shrink much to Addict's Delight So climb your Board and do your Dive in-spite.

Dedicated to all my Poet Friend, as I wish them a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year - 2019 ! Kindly read the footnotes too. If you like it, do re-post this poem for wider circulation please! Thank You, - Raj A BRIGHT STAR OVER BETHLEHEM !              * By Raj Nandy* “We three kings of Orient are,   Bearing gifts we travel afar;   Field and fountain, moor and mountain, -   Following the yonder star ! “                                - A Christmas Carol. Named Casper, Melchior, and Balthasar, - @ The Three Wise Men came from the East, Travelling west guided by a Bright Star, To seek out the child born under this lucky Star ; And to pay their homage and before him kneel, For He was to become the Savior and King ! They brought Him precious gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh, - Which were also symbolic gifts by far! Precious Gold has been a gift for royalty always, For the baby Jesus was to become the 'uncrowned King' one day! Frankincense as a soothing perfume was really good , Which also symbolised His future priesthood ! Myrrh as an embalming ointment was being used, By the ancient Egyptians as a preserving perfume ! # This gift of Myrrh was like a breath of new life - in the prevailing gloom; While symbolising His sorrowing, suffering and crucifixion; And leading to His final resurrection, - To save mankind from their sinful affliction! So Friends, when you celebrate Christmas this year, Let us with love bring hope and good cheer! And help to wipe out those sorrowing tears, - By giving gifts to those destitute children and bless, Since we generally tend to forget them always! And let our gifts become a true symbol, - Of His kindness and love let them reflect and resemble! ………………………………………………………………....................... NOTES : - @ = One 8th Century AD Manuscript says that these Three Wise Men were also astrologers, who had known about the Prophecy of the birth of Jesus who was to be the King of the Jews! They were guided by a Bright Star which had shone over the town of Bethlehem in Judea, ruled by the mad King Herod! Their three symbolic Gifts signified the King, the Priest, and the Savior of Mankind respectively! From the ‘Gospel of Matthews’ we learn that King Herod had told them to inform him about the Baby’s location! But since they had been forewarned by a dream, they returned by a different route! So Herod gave orders to **** all children 2 years and below, fearing this ‘King of the Jews’ will one day take over his throne !! #MYRRH = was being used by the Egyptians during the 5th century BC, which they had obtained from Africa. It was used in incense, in perfumes, & in holy ointments; mostly for embalming , - signifying Jesus was to die for mankind !

One day, a decade ago, I came home from school, And instead of starting my homework, I showed my grandmother the picture I drew, And my grandmother Edna said to me, "Bran, you have one big imagination." I grinned and shrugged, replying "Sorry Grandma, I can't help it" *She knows who she is.... And I think everyone knows where I'm coming from...* Like all naive lovers, I imagined a happily ever after, But Aphrodite discovered that i'm a functional disaster Sort of like what happened when Wendy met Casper? Silly, I know, Well at least I tried to capture a little laughter. I imagine her name as the name of a virtuoso band. I listen enthusiastically to the band play, "Eat your heart out, eat your heart out." Yes, she's a band-aid. I've imagined attending the salmon church with her, Even though I don't believe. Still I would do that for my Desdemona, "I will deny thee nothing." I imagined us getting married at an altar, The honeymoon would be on the moon weeping honey. Three years later, we have Harmony, our daughter. My imagination is wild, Maybe it's too far out there, Where the wild things are. Isn't it true that before you make something happen You have to imagine it happening first? Something like a self-fulfilled prophecy, In time we'll see. One day I came home from Mount Olympus, And instead of professing agape, I showed Cupid this poem I wrote, And Cupid said to me, "You have one wild imagination." I shrugged, replying, " I can't help it." Cupid smiled and said, "You have a romantic one also." Originally written 5/17/11 Revised 10/24/14 (c) 2014 Brandon Antonio Smith

And I think everyone knows where I'm coming from...* Like all naive lovers, I imagined a happily ever after, But Aphrodite discovered that i'm a functional disaster Sort of like what happened when Wendy met Casper? Silly, I know, Well at least I tried to capture a little laughter. I imagine her name as the name of a virtuoso band. I listen enthusiastically to the band play, "Eat your heart out, eat your heart out." Yes, she's a band-aid. I've imagined attending the salmon church with her, Even though I don't believe. Still I would do that for my Desdemona, "I will deny thee nothing." I imagined us getting married at an altar, The honeymoon would be on the moon weeping honey. Three years later, we have Harmony, our daughter. My imagination is wild, Maybe it's too far out there, Where the wild things are. Isn't it true that before you make something happen You have to imagine it happening first? Something like a self-fulfilled prophecy, In time we'll see. One day I came home from Mount Olympus, And instead of professing agape, I showed Cupid this poem I wrote, And Cupid said to me, "You have one wild imagination." I shrugged, replying, " I can't help it." Cupid smiled and said, "You have a romantic one also." Originally written 5/17/11 Revised 10/24/14 (c) 2014 Brandon Antonio Smith

A BRIGHT STAR OVER BETHLEHEM! * By Raj Nandy* “We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we travel afar; Field and fountain, moor and mountain, - Following the yonder star ! “ - A Christmas Carol. Named Casper, Melchior, and Balthasar, - @ The Three Wise Men came from the East, Traveling west guided by a bright Star, To seek out the child born under this lucky Star ; And to pay their homage and before him kneel, For He was to become the Savior and King ! They brought Him precious gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh, - Which were also symbolic gifts by far! Precious Gold has been a gift for royalty always, For the baby Jesus was to become the uncrowned King one day! Frankincense as a soothing perfume was really good , Which also symbolized His future priesthood ! Myrrh as an embalming ointment was being used, By the ancient Egyptians as a preserving perfume! # This gift of Myrrh was like a breath of new life in the prevailing gloom; While symbolizing His sorrowing, suffering, and crucifixion; And leading to His final resurrection, - To save mankind from their sinful affliction! So Friends, when you celebrate Christmas this year, Let us with love bring hope and good cheer! And help to wipe out those sorrowing tears, - By giving gifts to those destitute children and bless, Since we generally tend to forget them always! And let our gifts become a true symbol, - HIS kindness and love let them reflect and resemble! ……………………………………………………………….......................................... A Very Happy Christmas To All My Reader! NOTES : - @ = One 8th Century AD manuscript says that these three Wise Men were also astrologers, who had known about the Prophecy of the birth of Jesus who was to be the King of the Jews! They were guided by a Bright Star which had shone over the town of Bethlehem in Judea, ruled by the mad King Herod! Their three symbolic Gifts signified the King, the Priest, and the Savior of Mankind respectively! From the ‘Gospel of Matthews’ we learn that King Herod had told them to inform him about the Baby’s location! But since they had been forewarned by a dream, they returned by a different route! So Herod gave orders to **** all children 2 years and below, fearing this ‘King of the Jews’ will one day take over his throne! #MYRRH = was being used by the Egyptians during the 5th century BC, which they had obtained from Africa. It was used in incense, in perfumes , & in holy ointments; mostly for embalming ; - signifying Jesus was to die for mankind ! Thanks for reading, – Raj. ,

Two 'shes' becoming 'hes' They were beautiful And open And vulnerable And guarded It captured me But they didn't reply to my email Or accept my facebook friendship Instead I was left with glorious inspiration To be open To be vulnerable Arms wide, Embracing change, To follow my truth As they followed theirs Strong, defiant, knowing. They were on a journey As I am on mine And we glimpsed each other A hint of expression Behind different steering wheels Yet it was enough For me to be touched For me to remember.

Thank you Casper and Ari
I live in a whole new world But no magic carpets here Even x-ray glasses can’t see what I see Only the Bible can make it clear People are half dead like zombies And religion is our curse of Babel Time is more limited and precious When you must choose in what you should dabble Most people want to see the sequel to Casper But little do they know; it’s already on DVD But once they know, they lack time or investment And preach – “the best things in life aren’t free” I’ve been given the warning of Noah But they won’t heed until the fire rains For our home is not of this world In heaven there will be no tears or pains Let me show you the world I can be your diamond in the rough To open your eyes to the bars around you And strengthen you for when things get tough I would offer a red or blue pill But I’m not into drugs So the choice is yours: life or death All I offer is love and hugs

Take My Hand
He protects his phone but not his *** Sitting on a cherry withered-wood, it's good to remember that in December, he waited for this tired world, to pass him by, for his mother to 'please come home.' Casper, undercut with curls on top, plays a greyed banjo while wearing the green-chestnut flannel his dad wore before he disappeared into vermilion sky, only remembered with lullabies from a hopeful mom that smelled like Pall-Malls and factory-soaked-heartbreak. White, chiseled with skeleton intention, he sips from within himself, hoping to harness new direction.

Casper
i. In the hysteria of absolute clarity - *Otherwise known as the aftermath Of an epiphanic experience or 47 revelations of elemental semblance* - One sees one in all, and in All men, Angels. ____________ ii. I live in the suburbs; New subdivisions sitting on Sliced up ground, where elvish houses sat Comfortably twelve years prior. The flowerbeds tell stories In a Tolkeinesque script. iii. But the air's clear here, I can't complain. We've sunshine and enough rain to sustain The whole football team... we're in A division this year, My last in high school... *but I still pigged out on candy today, don't tell mom* iv. I've been listening more to the silence And counted seventeen days, Sequentially (and to my disgruntlement; thus I dare not jest), Wherein alarum bells did roar From iron red chest v. Took Casper to the hospital downtown On a day like today, hey It was raining then too... He had candy in his veins, And purpley-white too tight skin. I still pray for his life every Sunday night. vi. All Hallows' Eve, now two years past, Beneath a blood moon Did the two dance, and sat inside A crippled tree To laugh and kiss; Make merry of a mutual sense of entropy vii. In slow motion with devils dust and funguses and herbs They brewed and spewed as We watched and sang to each other And I learned that demons are in All men

Halloween! Devil's and God's and all of the in between's!
Casper That's the name they gave me The intentions weren't friendly They used it mockingly Albeit creatively Because my skin was alabaster pasty, I was Jack Skelington skinny And, apparently, My blond hair and blue eyes weren't manly So then, I embraced it and turned it on them ceremoniously No more Casper the Friendly, Just Casper the Deadly Turned to the ghost that gave nightmares to Freddy Made the devil look heavenly That persona went at any and every enemy But now that I'm 40 I've let that part of me leave me Though it was the only part of me that believed in me The scratched up side of my flipped penny ...I miss is secretly... ©2024

~•§•~ They Gave Me a Name ~•§•~
As she uses her muse through her veins, through her mind, oh how it sounds so Sublime. So infectious with your souls write. My mind wonders through the categories of Rock, Pop, and Hip-Hop. From Micheal feverish Moonwalk to Chris Browns Impervious Glyde, From the **** walk to the C-walk, from the Electric Slide to the slide of song to mix up the Casper slide. Dance is a muse; To dance, to Sing, To Rap, and "Just Do The **** Thang"; Don't stop get it, get it; Hey D.J. keep playing that Soul music to feed the soul, to move the body, to motivate the mind, to inspire the time. So Everybody get down wit ya bad self and use your muse. "Whats Your Muse"?

Time to Boogey
Grains of sand fall through the cracks. Gritty & hot between your toes. Squishy & mushy in the salty water. Waves crash forward one after another. During the winter & the summer. The rocks near the shore have seagulls. They are waiting for the fish. Their silent daily wish. At the beach it was just us two. I couldn't are anyone else there I knew. The color of the water was green & blue. The ghost voice speaks, but can it see? La Jolla Cliffs is haunted. On video tape in 2008 I recorded it's voice that taunted. Then it said ' Ha ha, I found you". Spooky right? It wasn't like Casper saying "boo". It said " Ariel come closer". It's like it chose her. Seashells wash up on the shore. Like little presents from the sea floor. The relentless sun bakes your flesh. Sunblock or sunscreen works the best. Feeling thirsty to drink some ice water. Under the shade from the trees just me & my daughter.

Picasso Thoughts, Shakespeare Words ( The Myth)
Today Collin disappeared. He was not around when I woke up, He was not around when I got back from picking up my car, He was not around when I got home from running errands. I would have called the police, If there was any such thing as a Casper Alert. Oh, what a horrid thing to lose a little ghost boy. Who can help you? He finally came back at dinner time, Only because I had made mac n cheese. He had gone to the park all ******* day long. Collin is only four, This is unacceptable. He had me running ragged. He is not allowed to go out for three weeks now. And he is not leaving my sight for those three weeks. Especially since we are moving Monday. I have to pack his ghost clothes, And his little translucent ghost toys. Dear god, Collin, You scared me.
