Asylum
/ When you are growing as a poet your pain is pining to born a poetry where there are too many clouds of emotions gathering, also a pensive mood longing then the thunder of thoughts growing, your paper is awaiting for the first word as I was waiting for you, my love when you were coming slowly then words of rain raining, automatically, randomly When the first raindrop pings on the pond even you don't know when it will be stopped how far it will be covered which path it will be taken even its density, dignity, or the diversity Your first word inks on the paper you don’t know when it will be finished which way the words will be taken even you don't know its size or style, its fashion or the scheme Either it's a long or a short or even a sonnet or a verse even its rhyming or the rhythm You should not think about its length of course words grow as long as the metaphors can travel through its thoughts of cohesion and its feelings moving naturally, poetically You should not count the words or even you can't stop within a limit it makes your thoughts imperfect rather you can tell totally about the life, or can tell about the love easily or beyond the life spontaneously The words can grow 3,5,7 lines for a haiku or even it goes for a mile for an epitaph or more for an epic   Poetry executes through words words come from thoughts thoughts come from the emotions and ends with the wisdom / @ Musfiq us shaleheen

Emotion?
. Cohesion has been fragmented, merely an old dissolved memory. A shroud darker than pitch black heralds the omni-directional strangler, seeking to crush the fragile neck and slowly asphyxiate the minds reality. The turbulence of mute non-existence, trapped in an endless glass sphere, a cold snow-globe paper weight, screaming for the end of the world. Terror dissipates all common sense, the inner head explodes and implodes. A wracked skeleton of fevered flesh, the violated remains, beautiful and torn, left, when the butterflies of darkness ****** the fire. © Pagan Paul (2017/19)

Cohesion
~~ behind the shadow a distinct lost dream   standing opposite of a long bridge crossing through the middle cutoff see the river flowing beneath illusive calling but can't go on the edge a dark sharp sign   known voices floating over echoing an ego which cover the shadow how many days offset! and try to touch the last sunset still silhouette stands on the shore what is mystic that always opens the door the river bumping with waves between the broken parts of the bridge passing a phase of life on the ridge yet subconscious grew a cohesion of dream ~~ @Musfiq us shaleheen

broken bridge
I need a new pick up line. "Hi, I've got no confidence in myself but maybe if the two of us came together then I wouldn't need any." "You must be a Flinstone, because I can lick your ******** with a breath strip on my tongue." that's ******* my breath isn't minty fresh. at all. I wanted to be a poet, but I couldn't tell what bad poetry looked like. so maybe it's mine. so maybe I should stop looking. it's like: "I can't do it, so I won't try." it's like: "life's too short, so let's end it. baby." there's your pickup line.

when does the cohesion happen?
The cows graze in their pasture Subservient to their master Who doesn’t move faster To help avoid disaster So the cows are on their own To deal with snow Those all alone Completely froze Yet those who know To use the warm glow Of company that showed Survive temperature lows The cows used to solitary grazing Now begin embracing To fight cold air they’re facing That is life erasing While frost is lacing The grass once worth tasting The winter refuses to yield As snow builds in the fields The cows’ cohesion is revealed As they protect their veal And forget to steal To connect and heal During this ordeal In times of inclement weather The cows huddle together Like someone pulled a lever That won’t stay locked forever So eventually ties are severed As summer comes The dumber numb Thinking they won Soaking up sun Knowing winter is done They divide into ones A flow line Of the bovine Slow grind Shows flies Grow wise With no size They devise To go for eyes Cows go blind In their mind And cannot find Their herd in time Pretty soon the irritating fleas Give them mad cow disease As they don’t look to please But put the good on their knees While they’re hiding in trees And biting with absolute ease Seeing the absence of immunities From their lack of community The lost independent Weather defendants Become repentant When they hear encroaching Thunder clouds approaching The cows become hectic From a storm electric Their formation eclectic So they feel unprotected But a fence was erected So they can’t join the dejected And this lonely life they elected Is sadly reflected The lasso angler Hassling wranglers Unmasked as stranglers Bring the herd together As they pull a lever That’ll stay locked forever As the cows’ heads are severed And the horns in their head Stick around once they’re dead As we eat what they were fed While they made their own bed

"God is Alive, Magic is Afoot." Who are you? Who am I? the light  in February can be self-sufficient, sharp as deafness in the middle of the sentence heavy as denial, rapturous as a fusion in the wind, in the air forces of cohesion and destruction play well together in the arena of ribs, guts, lungs, perhaps the silent liver something is shivering inside the light of a blade an efortless wave of desire a tired boundary left alone in the afternoon the contours of my limits, your limits, their limits so bright in this constructivist fabric Picasso was just foretelling us forcing the doors to expose the cover-up dreaming his internal objects then we start all over with every breath I want to give myself to me as a new toy, as a gift I want to love him with overt passion I want you/him to break and store me in between your thoughts the body is full of eyes, of ears, of lips I’ll survive in a whisper They just want to flow into each other clapping, holding on to the fluid of life engulfing everything, defying all censorship, authorship, leadership the light in February is newly born with desire to embrace itself, its darkness in the vibrant body I am, you are are sliding back with the air finding rest in the vital void the song remains the same I am you, and you are me the enchanted blade is ready to cut a new body for misunderstanding we need to survive each other something is tickling my feet some wordless revolt some rage of the living to impersonate death to posses their breath I feel my boundaries watched over by desire but you are always invited here to sing your sea of blood turquoise or as you like I am my desire my desire is searching for myself everywhere in the incomprehensible light in the lightness of his hair in their hunger, courage and despair for tomorrow

/ Many and Many years later My Poetry books That I had lost From the middle of the bookshelf Within Thousands of many other books Where I have found   Utterly Unknown Some Pages Yellow Pale Is very difficult to read Yet quietly reading I read with a lot of the force Crawling. As a Small child walking Many years later, Understand Know Become that Strange Poem The Poem Showed me Dreams Told me to Love Strikingly, Bought all the Colors of my Canvas Drawn your Images That happened, Many and Many years before In my Heart and the Soul Then You and I Grew as a highly Sophisticated Metaphor, In an extreme Cohesion, Nice One My Heart put on your Heart In a Romantic Tune Bode on a Small Boat Toward a Tough Sea, That happened, Many and Many years before In the Song of the Sea Then Sudden Sea Storm Came Made Substantially Vortex water We Drowned Lost you That also happened Many and Many years before In this Sea and my Soul Today I have found you again In a Sprung Dream As I lost you Many and Many years before As if I'm standing On the Shore of the Sea You as a form of Sea Angel Come forward to me- / @Musfiq us shaleheen

*Immaculate moments of Mystery, be my thoughts for me as I stay motionless in your Magnificence, Invisible in your Absence Please guide my hands to soothe and to heal, my heart to know and to feel with great Capacity for the Totality in the Essence of your Presence. May I live with purposeful intent beyond the confines of the self to grasp with great intensity the gravity of Eternal Love, binding order in the Chaos, Cohesion of the One.... Omnipresent Mind.... Incomprehensible Thought, into You I swear to forever seek, until Dual is undone and the Heart shall rejoin, before the beginning and back to the One.* Ishq Noor ~

Welded (Pantoum)
I have the shape of the institution. Each email address is a human. They are known by their words and actions. The whole wide world is just a fraction of all I do not know. Expansion and contraction, breathe in, out, meditation on existence, non-existence, creation and duration. I have no explanation for fusion, fission, taxonomic relations or artificial classification. More I do not know: locomotion by combustion, electron separation and transportation via superconduction which supports the idea of the unified nation. What girls are like behind their eyes. ************ a useful restraint on overpopulation. The story of a life, my life, any life, cohesion must be rationed, conjured, a fiction about a vexed, tenacious town, its rail station truck stop, high school, night spots, recreations the temporary citizens enact visions dream-like orations, ballets, conflagrations to in the end receive in annals honorable mention from family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, institutions.

Shape of the Institution
When he shows up at my door at 1:30 am, I do not hesitate Instead invite him in with tired arms, Make a conscious decision to sacrifice a night of sleep to lie in the body of a boy on my too small twin sized bed It was not made to hold another but this heart was His smile is summer in the marina and feels too much like the sunsets of red and purple and pink I want to bury myself in the sand next to him beneath A sun too harsh for our pale skin to meet, one that will leave us burnt and peeling and laughing at our human turned starfish bodies I want to be surprised by the freezing that comes from running into the ocean bare and unbound but for now all we have are the sheets we are in so we sink further into the memory foam Too delicate and slow for my eagerness to grab onto, He mentions the softness of my lips as they trace his I laugh and say “I try” What I really mean is “I hope I am enough for you” His limbs stretch across the length of the mattress, mine fold to fit his Our cohesion in this lack of space is a packed box and I don’t mind the suffocation I think to myself that this intimacy right here is exactly what I need, to be touched like I am important even if it is just for a moment I decide that this hour of holding before his eyelids fall together for the remainder of the night is worth the 10 hours I will spend not sleeping His breath, heavy with exhaustion, overpowers the sound of my starving heart beating for the music of his and that’s completely fine I am running out of ways to tell him he is exactly what I want So I let him stay as an unspoken declaration of always welcome I let him make my bed a home with the hopes that in turn he will make one out of me

They say the neon lights Don’t often burn that bright Splintered from my urethra Swollen in this hex Devoured by the Eve Brought to justice by the guilt And when they said That all I had to give Wasn’t worth a fitful look I’ve been duped by sedative The artificial power Has swollen in my head Wrapped around an ice pick Can be found my fleeting shell As our defunct cohesion Masticates my head Disintegration will lay me to my bed. That sweet nectar Lingers on my tongue An inebriated hour of reverie genuine A claustrophobic detainment Incarceration with power windows As your effigy is left behind These shiv grasped hands Awaiting exertion, transpierce my eyes Upon introspective re-inspections Ichor transmogrifies Necessitate me Remain vacant here As our defunct cohesion Masticates my head Disintegration will lay me to my bed.

Quietus
Aching flesh calls To aching flesh Chests touch Lips compress Part Wet tongues intersect Clothing shredded into tatters And scattered Hesitation abandoned Nails on hot skin Lips leave marks on necks A patchwork of red and pale Never fail hips slip inside Two become one As the fervor increases Pheromone aura releases And a story is added to the tower of pleasures Vibrating Pulsating Slow rhythmic thrusting Clasped Grasped Connected in four places Pleasure painted faces Individual palates blending Pulling apart and separating So that eyes can lock in ocular embraces Unification of purpose Invisible bonds reinforced As tremors cascade from fluid cohesion One thousand demons scream in the ashes of a dream, As one, that were two, become Legion.

Deep into the rainforest, a struggle to survive From insects to leaved trees, wanting all to thrive The habitat of animals, species all around Living things a-plenty, crawling on the ground The four main layers play a different role The bio-diversity forms part of the whole The dark forest floor and the understory Shorter plants existing, many bugs to see The vibrant middle layer, yet forms the canopy Climbing the emergent, just like a monkey The strong plant materials, helps to build a home For people of the Amazon, food that has been grown Tropical regions, Equator ever near A moderate climate, giant trees are here Forests on a mountain, misty all around Coated in a moss, such an eerie surround North and South America and Oceania Asia and Europe, as well as Africa There’s a cycle of life, yet deforestation Affects the homes of animals for plantation Removing ecosystems, can cause erosion Droughts as well as flooding, less cohesion The modern ways of man affects vegetation Contributing to a silent devastation Replanting, recycling, assisting with crops Steps of preservation quench like raindrops The precious seeds and life, of which can be found Yet, it’s not too late to turn this world around Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Our Rainforests
Pompous: "Oh God, no, not another shallow rhymer, fitting each word to its neat little place. Oh God, no, not another painterly composition with planal directions going round and around or leading that way and this. They did that in the past; get to the new. Make sure the reader or viewer knows that the masterful knows more than than the masterful lets t/h/r/o/u/g/h/ out. Disdain extenuating weakenings caused by straining for clarity or unnecessary exertions in expressions of cohesion. Words, though plain, arouse astonished wonder by nonchalant impenetrable shufflings. Be clued-in, be bold, be tough and show it when you sculpt the clay. When shaped, use your trowel to scratch the surface, evoking even more obscurity. Toss it off in broad strokes of masterful negligence. Be above the miniscule. By these means show in shadowy hints the profundity that winks beyond merely ordinary restrictions. Break the barriers, fly the constructive. Those old shackles lie about the world. Show you ain't no conforming sissy. Display in impatient referenceless strokes Your forceful awareness of the world as known." Facetia: "Oh? A world which evidences no form and structure in living creatures; no eons of effortful evolution; Forests have no ecology, and laws of nature aren't for binding. Mind never happened, spirit's a farce, unions only expedient plottings. Lessons of history describe the disruptive; it's what you grab and who you club; others are only take or be taken. Show 'em who's boss, stash it away, it's dog eat dog until there's nothing. Shake it all up and break it all up. It's only entropy."

now is the time, she says.     she says a lot of things, though. it's enough, it's enough to watch walls     crumble like chalk in the hand of a child;   it's enough to watch sunrise without dread.          now is the time, she says.     I say not much, they say.           not much like a Polaroid    of a dead owl in your dresser drawer;          it's not much like a flower caught in a fence.       factual information is less than an obituary           telling you that your wife is dead.         my inalienable right to make pancakes            at three AM is where I flail in moonlight     like a strange yellow fish swimming with cane and toothache.          but, ah, what was that she said---         a million things all at once with no simile              (the walls make sound, but      my eyes are a million things said on Sundays)           no cohesion, no considerable operations,     no calorie is succinct, no little bubble in your mouth...         my terrible thing weeping towards a shelf always       with pretty words pretty eyes pretty nowheres--            my wound grows down the trees like ivy                 my hands reach towards you, I close me eyes--             I breathe I breathe     smaller breathes to not disturb you.      so soft and calm with gossamer in your eyes,            you shift like the moon tossing      on waves of cloud;          what gods have I to curse      when thou art fled?           Little lines can't suffice,         empty is a word not full--                  opulence and splendor          like my toes in the damp summer grass.               inhale, please, and take your pulse         out in the cold because        the dryer is broken,          everything beeps at me         and houses shiver in nightmare.
