"coexists" poems
Beastly is this monster state yet many damsels cannot avoid Some may call it disturbingly conflicting and become annoyed Where rationality coexists with irrationality in an unstable realm Pretty monster states navigate this journey as captains at the helm Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states No need to disguise your fury or depressions Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states This is just part of your amazing expressions Wonder is this monster state since the inception of Adam and Eve Men can only hope to be compassionate, steadfast and never peeved One moment, pretty monster states can be loving and best friends Next moment, challenging one’s good nature and spirit to extreme ends Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states No need to disguise your fury or depressions Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states This is just part of your amazing expressions Frightful is this monster state like a suspenseful thriller or mystery Only those who are not faint of heart can sleuth this case history Where a profound will of character serves to stabilize one’s constitution Bringing the monster state to an uneventful but amenable restitution Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states No need to disguise your fury or depressions Pretty monster states, Pretty monster states This is just part of your amazing expressions.

Pretty Monster States ***
The world's on fire, peace is extinct Look how fragile peaceful minds can get All hostile minds are having a ball right now. It's like peace got embellished in chaos. Where's peace at, what happened to her? Regional, global local, peace is in short supply. This is the renaissance of a new world order Where partial peace coexists with total chaos People only search Google for mostly facts Not for solutions to some distorted peace What is peace then, how can it be? Just a routine rhetorical question Coming from the disturbed mind in me Listen, One-minute partial peace Bang, another minute total chaos! Nowadays, Instability everywhere is commonplace As unscripted hate rhetoric freely echos, From jihadic podiums to confused minds. The conspicuous birthplace of premeditated evil. The mind, soft spots of those totally confused Call it the hotspots and playground for the devil. I, the skeptic, to say the very least, See this quiet storm as a distorted peace! twitter @ivaclappers

Distorted Peace
**To the girl with the alluring melanin... skin the enticing & mouth-watering color of caramel To the girl with the enigmatic mind, subliminally affixed to mine** ॐ To the girl with the beautiful heartbeat that coexists as one with mine. To the girl with the winsome name ...my lips feel so much better when it's your name leaving. To the girl with the mollifying voice, your voice is the strongest tranquilizer I've ever encountered; It apprehends all negativity I'm engulfed in and brings me back to sanity again. To the girl with the broken heart shattered into a thousand pieces, I'll spend 1,000 days putting each piece back together and on the 1,001 day you'll see that not only did I mend your heart but I gave you remnants of mine. To the girl who was at war with herself, I've seen your battle scars. To the girl who constantly goes back to war, you are not alone and I won't ever allow you to be.   ॐ                                     ॐ                                    ॐ   **To the boy with the perfectly sculpted face... if you were to ever leave, I'd spend forever recreating it's beauty. To the boy with the beautifully structured mind, which never fails to unravel every mystery within mine.** ॐ To the boy with the wavering heartbeat that coexists as one with mine. To the boy with the voice of a symphony of my favorite melody that never fails to leaving a distinct sense of perfection in the air. It scatters positivity throughout my body reminding me of the purpose of my existence. To the boy with the faltering heart which never falters enough to give up on me. And even if it did, I'd spend all my days as a cardiovascular surgeon. To the boy with the artistic fingers that paint with fire, igniting every inch of my skin they lovingly skim over. To the boy with the dark parallel lines freckled over his wrists, reminding me of the heartache, and distress you once endured. I'd spend every day of my life eradicating each piece of pain-coated glass embedded in your heart. You are not alone and I won't ever allow you to be.

Grandpa melted two squirrels together using the fat from their bodies after skinning the skin from their bellies. They were dead before he began this project, of course. He's a taxidermist. Grandpa is surely to blame for many a nightmare– The jars of eyes and teeth collected from years of scraping corpses off the highway. But as the Buddhists preach, I've found some blessings in his macabre pastime. Most of my friends shy away from the undesirable aspects of life; Death bringing up the forefront. I feel that grandpa's melancholy menagerie has helped me Cozy up to the idea that despite life's bountiful beauty, A dark side coexists intertwined- But darkness is not always A bad thing... Is it?

Grandpa Death
To live without love is death. To live honestly, Is to love truly. Life is a meaningless void. Dark, dull, and unafraid. Populous yet lonely, Blinding yet bleak. A land of color coexists, of love that is cautious and daring. Transcending human comprehension And the providing hope along with its audacity. It’s power and will to thrive conquers the misanthropy Of austere death.

On life yet love.
maybe we were two lonely souls in an infinite number of universes that coexists at the same time so in the least cases when other universes cease to rotate; we were looking at each other’s eye— half consciously exchanging breaths as we stood in a random street on a random time with random people in Metro Manila. maybe we were two lonely souls devoid of life with its absurdities and ambiguities that when other universes began to move— adverse was ours. we were motionless and breathless and static and frantic amongst the dismal place where we stood under the rain and under the heat of the sun; *dear, did you feel the spontaneity of our souls for the first time in a lifetime?* maybe we were two lonely souls searching for our own universe in this infinite number of universes that when we finally had the chance to meet on a road with nowhere to go while listening to our timeless symphonies of pleasure, pain, and lost; we found universe at each other’s soul. maybe we were two lonely souls before we met in Metro Manila. maybe we were two lonely souls when we were living in abyss. maybe we were two lonely souls before we found our infinite universe at each other. maybe we were two lonely souls before we knew love.

The devil resides in my right arm & God, my left sometimes I wonder what would be left if I decided to not take action from fear of choosing the wrong step hell coexists in my mind & Heaven, my heart yet I think that’s indeed my art the ability to manifest the myriad of universes within me as opposing they are nightmares dwell within my sleep & Hope, my breath where in that reality fosters fantastical depth that every intake harbours the fate my world could change for the best My reality is torn into two by my existence & Yet, life ensures my contradictory nature leads to positivity assured a metamorphosis turning my temptations to strength guaranteeing ethereal horizons to be made broad

Conflicting
Like water, like flowing rivulets, notes fly from fingers fast on frets. Slippery sinuous shimmering tones (complemented by brash bluesy Bones). Like storm’s thunder and lightning a chord brings the sky to us on earth— or is it that we fly , then die until the rebirth in gentle reverb of a note two octaves higher? Strange how rain coexists with fire. Drench us in the cascade born from your desire.

Like Water (Ode to Jeff Beck)
These dirt roads They break way to gravel Until the grass splits the cracks In the soil And gives birth to such green fields Who seem to scream in anguish Of the childhood you spent Roaming amongst these woods Now they remain Simply a funeral home For trees dying one day at a time Much like you Still soaking life in through your roots As you stretch your branches even further Grow ever taller Towards the heaven Which you only pray exist In empty church pews Stained with spilled wine From the final day you still believed In the ghost they claim walks among us still But that day was long ago Nowadays these false religions Only coexists with you as fuel to the fires That have ravaged several forest to ashes in the dirt They looked a lot like yours And suddenly you realize That you're the last tree standing in your forest And it's a dry day A wedding day For a forest fire and a final goodbye

Some dim witz, try and talk slick; I'll flip the linquistics on these limp biscuits, like it’s No body’s Business, for instance; these lyrics throw bricks at ****** that write lyrics like bones and sticks; you barely hear it, and nothing sticks. So I will put it like this; my pen dragging is a lyrical assist of my mind management that coexists with an untapped abyss capable of slick rap antics, with acrobatics, sick enough to spit dope **** to a fiend and crack addicts; the flow problematic; semi-automatic with the flips, and a-wrist-to-go craft it; now your verbal way; above average. I’m on a roll; way a head of the class ***** My Style switch like a buy chic; trying Bi **** and she 5'6 six with some nice **** kissing a ginger, same height, both wearing tights- I like it. Funny how things *** together; Good-night. Its not over; I'd like-to get it started, get it right. You like the way I write, you should see me when I am right. Now, drunk off wine coolers and sprite; and my buds' light; so everyting is gonna to be aright. Prepared for one hell of a fight; writers block, get's a hook, then a right; then in the  a.m. I am, out for the night. my word play, ******* with my sight- translation, I will be so tired in the morning, the morning will be my night.

She’s a dimple and a drag, corner of Worth and Magpie, French Vogue idioms and her mother’s red flowery hoop earrings. Aloha! Aloha! Oopty-oops in contract loot thru streets and backyard parties, concrete larders, her eyes lie like presidential promises, a slipknot of licorice around her neckline to keep her rising tide from the Menarche Moon. Anything to keep the little penny featherweight dancer from slipping. Her siblings poke fun at her funny way of speaking, her bath tub is just an excuse for chiseling at her innards, taking a drag at her lungs and punching her duck-billed platypus in the kidneys; a heavy-weight champion of the worm. That until all the saints come writhing off the fishing lines. Until the ballerina’s edema coexists with Tokyo extremists, serial killer behemoths that keep body parts and *** toys in the freezer. Here, here! Wrath goes to the fella with the wicked demeanor. In an area of limited sight, this country, it’s people are sickened at the sights of themselves, and the wackos are coming out in large swaths, minerals and dimples strapped to their waist belts in the throes of a menopausal demagogue heaving OxyContin down El Camino Real.

3:04am The General Theory of Poetary Genius (Part I)
The sweet tryst of your love has had its end Which fadeth through the dawn, it coexists The keen affection descends like a trend-- You slowly, but surely, have to desist. The sickness spreads, continues to rescind A whirlwind of sentiment takes it's place Your mind undergoes sins of rue chagrin Your life, just a sad blur, will end it's pace Will you tell yourself it was all a lie? Or will you own up to fabrication? Your goal in life was to personify, To move man with simple revelation In your last breathe, you find the true meaning To live as king, and to die demeaning

Life Through His Eyes
To a young boy growing up there is nothing greater than getting up, eating cereal, and watching cartoons. But as a young boy becomes a man, he sees that his priorities change. Music seems to take full charge, and with music comes an even bigger challenge, the female mind. Things that seem important are put to the side and room is made for a girl. But to me she is not just some girl, she is the perfect girl, a princess to some sort. But what I love the most is that my priorities aren't put to the side, everything coexists. So even as I sit here, I realize I'm still a young boy who gets up, eats cereal, and watches cartoons, but now I know I can so all of this with the perfect girl sitting right by my side.

There is a bumper sticker I have seen, it says to "Coexists" Be one big happy family, make wrath and hate desist - After all we all are One, members of the human clan Be all Lovey-Dovey, in the Family of Man - Excuse me please excuse me, in my Bible I do read A verse of Scripture plane and True, to this I will take heed - The verse is from Corinthians, the 2nd Paul did write I read in chapter six, how I'm to fight the Fight - Number 14 is the verse, the verse where I will start Read the chapter to the end...I take his words to heart - If you think I'll coexists, with a ******* ****** or a Queer You can think again!...Your Damnation draws so near 2 Cor 6:14-17 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, KJV

2nd Corinthians 6:14~17
The rock, a perfect place to be seated and become enveloped and lost in the sounds which surround you. Nature at its finest. The whipping of the wind, blowing on your skin and through your hair. A pleasant sensation mixed with the thunk of the waves hitting the shore and rock. A rather unique way of saying hello with each passing moment. A combination of the wind and waves creates this aura of serenity. A calming only experienced by the person in the moment. Nature is full of life, and sounds which is not appreciated enough. The rock is teeming with life. The little flies, who in turn play a part in the annoyance of biting your skin. Everything coexists together and it's a shame any of it has to be interrupted because people came into the land to essentially take over and share in the beauty of the land. Nothing quite says brisk like a dip in the lake while partial cloud cover and wind blows by. I want to stay here, forever.

I've always been attracted to things I couldn't have. They lure me in with soft tantalizing pleas of "aren't you curious how much different your life could be with us in it". All the possibilities come roaring to life "You could find love" "New friendships aren't all that bad" "New experiences" Now this new experience idea has invaded my mind, wringing around my brain with an embrace so tight that it's not a comforting hug anymore. I want to experience everything life has to offer, both the positive and negative. I want to feel such a contrasting variety of things, I think this coexists with the high hopes I have. Maybe by feeling a lot i can cover up this numbness that doesn't seem to leave me. Ironic how I can get rid of everyone else but I can't rid myself of this, I do admire consistency in anything and **** is it undeviating. I didn't use you but you came into my life when I was in the middle of a transition. Someone wanted to get to know me and the attention made me happy, it still makes me happy, Which is where the problem lies. Despite all the sure tale signs that you may have only been wanting one thing, I took a chance and dove in. The stormy waves visible to me in the distance didn't seem to matter. I came to see you as my raft, keeping me afloat and away from the dark pit of endless water underneath me, that I was afraid I would drown in. You distracted me from it in the beginning, entertaining me enough that I forgot it was even there. Then you became it, You began to drag me down. You grabbed a hold of my ankle, pulling me underneath the waves and I haven't seen the sun since. I would try to swim back up but I couldn't bring myself to break free of your grip, so I stayed and began to force myself into thinking this was how all relationships were. Day by day your hold became looser and finally you let me go. I despised you at first but then I became grateful. The freedom was liberating, my mind was at ease for the first time in a while. No more anxiety triggered by you, no more useless effort from my end. Recently I let you back in, did some things I'm not proud of but who doesn't. You didn't stick up for me, the thought of me being a bad influence is laughable. Now we are both forbidden from seeing each other. Never did I think I would see the day when a mother views me as harmful to her son. Like I said, I've always been attracted to things I couldn't have. I don't think I am anymore.

The Self, an illusionist, whose words turn and twist to check the boxes of society's wish list. The Self, a great illusionist, whose smartphone coexists hand in hand with moments missed. The Self, the greatest illusionist, whose audience consists of a world full of narcissists.

The Circus
You look like a reason to try to want to wake up A reason to try again You look like the shameless shade autumn wears, Not apologising for all the goodbyes it brings. You look like a reason to want to die a little less, A reason to play dressing up in front of the mirror You look like this rebellious pen of mine, Taking a break from the blues and writing about the red in your cheeks Clichés be ****** it yells. You look like a liberation death could bring, but only sweeter, The light filtering through the curtains, but softer You look like the face of a stranger I confessed my miseries to long ago and wished never to see his face again when I was done Except I could never run away from you, pls don't make me ever wanna You look like the adrenaline rushed first kiss, But with more finesse You look like all the warning signs I have ever ignored when I ran past them, Except this time I want to stay and discover why. You look like all the poems I have ever sat on fire, except you fire never burns you into Ashes, it somehow compliments and coexists w your halo You look a lot like humming bird, except you're humming in my heart, fuzzily flowing into my veins

You
today you'll glide your cursor past this poem, like it's nothing, like i'm nothing but tomorrow or maybe the day after after after and then, serviettes may pile up our strangership coexists with friendship, and bucks and bucks'f starbucks, and 'good evening' might become 'Good morning' 'Good night' 'Good day' if that day comes, when that day comes, then good day sunshine i would have found the light in my life again

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that can see my black, oil slicked feathers. They are the reason I don't like getting wet, the reason I fit better in the shadows than in the direct sunlight. I'm not colorful on the outside, though the glossy yet demure rainbow sheen of my midnight mane may say otherwise. They say it's what's on the inside that counts; if you cut me open, I'd bleed opal. Opal, shimmering liquid pearl, luminescent moonshine filling every crevice of my heart, every crack and corner that are not filled with emotions that threaten to overturn the barriers preventing floods over and over and yet over again. I'd forgotten- funny isn't it?- how easily words can flow and glow from my mouth if I would only open it. But as quickly as I do, the contents that spill out are black as tar, black as my coverings, my feathers, my thoughts. What else is there to say but that I wish the black and the rainbow would coexists? Oil slicks and opals are both beautiful. You can see the rainbow in each, but sometimes you have to take the time to look closer.

Luminescence
I layed there in the dark, waiting for perhaps a revelation. I woke to the light, hoping for a miracle of sorts. For a transformation of my life, in a way that leaves me better off. But the truth settles in, I can only do this with action. A child like hope will no longer do. I must move in life to manifest my own. Although my dreams have lead my head, I can no longer wish. I have wished & wished again & again. As if speaking with a dying breath. I layed their In the dark. Waiting, wishing, hoping. However, I see that I have to be the life change. I woke to the light. Times have drastically changed, & I must come back to life, with all the strength I have. Its not as hard as I made it to myself, But It will never be easy. And that is okay, that is the way it must be. I can make the change that I hoped for. I can be the change I want to see in life. I woke to the light. To realize that the pain is only a teacher. A lesson in a loss, a siren of our own misfortune. But it is not to the end we feel the weight. Times change & so does what hurts us. Darkness is not there to take away light. The Light is not there to blind us. Darkness is simply the absence of light. Yet a certain amount of dark is needed, to see the stars at night There is no bad in light or dark in nature. It is simply how life Coexists with us. Your darkness does pass, as does your light. Just as they both come back, but neither is present at the same time. In the end your light will be all that stays. Realize the good in the bad. Accept the bad in the good. Life slows down for none, & it's never too late to stand back up We layed there in the dark, to wake to the light.
