"collision" poems
The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass, Came dazzling around, into the rocks, Came glinting, sifting from the Americas To possess Aran. Or did Aran rush to throw wide arms of rock around a tide That yielded with an ebb, with a soft crash? Did sea define the land or land the sea? Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision. Sea broke on land to full identity.

Lovers on Aran
I catch you sitting at the diner counter again at 2am, the fourth day in a row. The waitress comes over and hands you a black coffee. I stare, but you don’t turn around and catch me looking. You’re glaring into the mug, like somehow you’ll drown in the warm murky mix. Like somehow if you keep looking your problems will dissipate into the rising steam. Like somehow it’s the answer you’ve been searching for since you were born. You wanted an answer. Something that would make everything come full circle. It’s been years of you driving down an endless highway, passing every exit because you don’t know how to stay in one place. Even ghost towns won’t harbor something so deeply damaged. A person who can only pull the emergency break when they’re afraid they might crash. Crash into what? Not everything walking by you is a catastrophe.  Accidents only occur when you forget to pay attention. Just like how you forgot that your side door mirrors were broken. Those objects are not closer than they appear. You tried to slow down but they only seemed further away. Everything you’re trying to hold on to is slipping through your hands the way sand falls through the hourglass. Tick tock. Did you forget that people need affection if you want them to stay? They are not dolls you can glass-case until you feel like playing with them again. Not everybody enjoys being a toy. How long has it been since someone sat in the passenger seat? The car rides must be lonely when there’s no one around to fill the silence. You can blast the radio as loud as you want to but that won’t block out the hollow feeling in your chest. The one that sits where your heart is supposed to be. Something that music can’t fill. Your mother once told you that history repeats itself but did she mention that only happens when you refuse to change the scenery? If you always stay on the same road you’re never going to snap out of it. Break the curse. Realize that love is sitting at the base of every exit if you weren’t so scared of swerving into oncoming traffic. The only head-on collision that’s going to happen is when you grow too tired of driving alone that you forget to keep your eyes on the road. When you realize you placed yourself in your own hell and your breaks finally give out. When you fall asleep at the wheel and never wake up because you were terrified of letting somebody else steer.

I look at myself and all I see is grey I try so hard to pray it away I know it's cliche But I can't stand my own face It's sad eyes They see through my lies My oversized thighs My failure to revise I despite this disguise I look at myself and all I see is disappointment Try harder I mumbled in exhaustion What a collision My own derision One day, soon, I will look at myself and all I will see is joy My reflection, I will enjoy not want to destroy I will not be coy As the sun dawns All will be gone I vowed I look at myself today and all I see is hope For I am proud I want to scream it loud in crowd I am proud of me and you And with that statement I feel so new.

Disappointment
In the Midnight heaven's burning Through the ethereal deeps afar Once I watch'd with restless yearning An alluring aureate star; Ev'ry eve aloft returning Gleaming nigh the Arctic Car. Mystic waves of beauty blended With the gorgeous golden rays Phantasies of bliss descended In a myrrh'd Elysian haze. In the lyre-born chords extended Harmonies of Lydian lays. And (thought I) lies scenes of pleasure, Where the free and blessed dwell, And each moment bears a treasure, Freighted with the lotos-spell, And there floats a liquid measure From the lute of Israfel. There (I told myself) were shining Worlds of happiness unknown, Peace and Innocence entwining By the Crowned Virtue's throne; Men of light, their thoughts refining Purer, fairer, than my own. Thus I mus'd when o'er the vision Crept a red delirious change; Hope dissolving to derision, Beauty to distortion strange; Hymnic chords in weird collision, Spectral sights in endless range…. Crimson burn'd the star of madness As behind the beams I peer'd; All was woe that seem'd but gladness Ere my gaze with Truth was sear'd; Cacodaemons, mir'd with madness, Through the fever'd flick'ring leer'd…. Now I know the fiendish fable The the golden glitter bore; Now I shun the spangled sable That I watch'd and lov'd before; But the horror, set and stable, Haunts my soul forevermore!

Astrophobos
The sky crackles and I feel the most alone. Just like that day in the woods. My special place was off the trail, but he couldn't have known me, I was so young and such an idiot, Not everyone is genuine but I was so trusting, I can still smell the sickening mixture of fresh-fallen rain,his sweat, the mud around the creek and salt from my tears. With every atmospheric collision from the sky my stomach churns tasting the blood in my mouth from his fist thundering against my tear stained cheeks. When the wind blows I can still feel his callous hands bruising and exploring my unwilling body, and scraping against the most intimate parts of me. The lightning is when I remember the rock that found my desperate palms and crashing against his temple The wind howls and the rain finally starts to fall then, near my belly button burns just like it did when the blade he swung wildly cut me before I could run and the water is my heartbeat pounding in my ears, but I can hear him behind me The rush If my blood reminding me I’m still alive mind begging me to stay that way, his threats pushing me further Head pounding ,body burning, I burst through my front door And then I start to cry

When it thunders,
writhe and gape of tortured perspective rasp and graze of splintered normality crackle and sag of planes clamors of collision collapse As peacefully, lifted into the awful beauty of sunset the young city putting off dimension with a blush enters the becoming garden of her agony

Writhe And
Blank mind, cloudy vision the satisfying crack of collision from an elbow swung, or punch thrown and in my ears, a buzzing drone I breath deeply, and start to think of how I was pushed, to the brink I really do regret it now I'd fix it but, I don't know how But it feels so good, at the time but the mind doing it, isn't mine It's not the nice sweet child with polite voice, and manners mild But which am I and which is me? Which one of those am I going to be? The child, who's weak yet nice? Or the monster, nobody crosses twice?

Anger
(Villanelle) It takes patience to wait for the perfect light. Glance away and the image can disappear. And sometimes the background isn’t quite right. The moment missed is like a face out of sight That against all logic we hope will appear From around a corner, bathed in perfect light. Or a pause in the music on a moonlit night When hesitating lips touch, and love leans near, But voices whisper that something’s not right. Technology offers consolation in its sleight Of hand:  Digitally correct the analog *here And now*, counterfeit the perfect light. Yet we want more than the mastered byte. We want the flash between the waiting and the souvenir, The instant when self and spectacle fuse, reality felt right. And so we hold on to what’s passing out of sight, The collision between soon and too late, the sheer Thread connecting to the perfect light In which the background is precisely right.

For as long as I can remember, I've always had this void in my life. It's this empty feeling deep deep down inside of me and no matter how hard I try I cant quite seem to shake it, overconsuming, eating away at me, I can have happy moments when everything seems to be going great, the feelings of not being okay comes back like a head on collision. Theres a constant nag deep down to fill this empty void, anything to make it all better. Trying from hobbies, family, friends, material stuff and just nothing. It's not simple or an easy matter to explain, especially when you get to a point when numbing it out seems to be the better option from having such a hard past, from abuse to ****** trauma. So badly I long for true happiness, no worries. I desperately long for what I see around me, to have not a care in the world. Instead I'm in this dark hole and I cant find my way out, filled with horror, dark, and scary. So consumed with feeling crazy. I tend to put on this act like I'm so happy and I have the perfect life, when in reality that's just not the case. I lash out and I dont mean to. God I just want so badly to be okay. To have never gone through the things I have, instead here I am. Lost in a spiral out of control, a ride I cant get off. One day I will look back and it will just be a memory. Just a part of my past and I can finally say no longer I'm not okay.

Im not Okay
Here I stand on the intersection Blocking every apparition That appears before the collision Of my unearthed passion The debris it scattered And the fragments it recollected Did no good for our Russian Roulette And my black dress that sweeped Aiming blade to each direction And shadow-chasing apparitions Here I stand, on the intersection With the devil’s spawn in front The sinner angel on my left The lost brothers of long-ago arts And the mourning ladies behind in red If I let my blade slip in front Inferno is the runaway paradise prepared Yet if I let my blade to my sides Heaven hold no place for my stained black dress And the mourning ladies in red Have no colors that resembles mine But that is just an extermination That won’t even matter For tragic is just a trapped magic

Intersection Dress
Something about the woven leather Reminds me of sandals you once wore, In the garden enjoying the sun. Your shorts and that old cotton vest the one that was probably once white, but Nanny wasn't around to do your whites anymore, and so it grew greyer as your hair grew whiter. The sun's rays danced through the waves of your hair and into the garden, Filling it with light, shining down upon plastic flowers planted among coloured stones. Smells of stale cakes from bargain stalls and the sugar from flat lemonade in murky cups wafted out the back door and clashed with that overpowering cooking smell as you sat in your sun lounger and baked yourself in vegetable oil, cooking your Irish skin to a crisp! The flower patterns of your walls in the garden and cast iron patio furniture, The plastic mat that covered the carpet and always managed to trip us, The halogen heater in the parlour and blanket on your knees, The clumps of bullseye sweets in your locker and Quality Street tin of empty wrappers, The damp and stale smells of the kitchen in your care, The holy pictures and moving Jesus on the stairs, The bath marbles we loved to play with and how they'd smash upon collision, And the pink, silk quilt that enveloped your bed, They're all pieces in the mosaic that illustrates your memory now and they'll never be broken. I've glued them so tightly together it's as strong as your jaw! Your jaw, always known to make eyes water when you'd turn during a goodbye kiss on your cheek and crush our noses! Even when we tried to approach with caution! But oh what anyone of us wouldn't give to feel that again, just to say goodbye and think we'd be over to the Bluebell to see you again. So now I sit and look at the woven leather on my sandals and remember all the details, all the memories that are woven together to make you. Sometimes I wish I could click the heels together. Bluebell Bluebell Bluebell And be back in that garden, once more.

Your heart was never The same shape as mine And their collision Only caused more pain. I tried not to confuse Liquor with passion Nor convenience with love But your lips tasted so sweet And I longed for the rush That only your touch could induce.

I fell in love with a girl. And when I say fell, I mean crashed, heart-first. Willingly.... Immersed every inch of my self. Soul-first... Into this love... We went swimming. So willingly. And I held you... So close. So tight. And we slept so sound in those surroundings. Tangled. Together. In silence. In the dark. You didnt need a TV those nights to keep the boogeyman at bay. So willingly... I quenched you in my arms... So that our hearts could perpetuate perfect pulses. In unison...like a symphony of moving atoms. And we produced thermal fusion. Tangled. Together. I see you. My reflection. That first time we locked eyes... We saw souls. And this collision formed one heavenly body. That's why I cried over this division. This imperfect perfection. And I never gave 2nd thought when you told me i'd never lose you. I believed you. But then...I wanted to. I wanted you. I'm still trying to brush away the dust as it settles into sentiment. This reflection... Rippled but real... Forms rings of imperfect perfection... When we're both looking in the same direction.

Imperfect Precision
Kissing upside-down. At first it seems like a fun idea. (If spiderman can, we can, right?) But ultimately, it's clumsy And awkward. They say opposites attract But when my top lip And your bottom lip Try to match up together, There's no denying, It doesn't quite fit. A crash-collision. With him it was like kissing upside-down: Cool for a while But the top and bottom just don't match Quite like they do right-side up, And it lost its novelty at a steady pace. Two different halves don't always make a whole. Sometimes it's two of the same. Kissing her is like kissing regular. I don't mean regular-regular. I mean over the moon, Past the stars, Around the universe and back again regular. I mean running so fast you think your legs Might fall out from under you And you might learn to fly regular. I mean spinning in circles On an old tire swing Until you reach that moment when you forget where you are And feel the rotation of your organs So you stop to watch the world swirl before you Putting everything out of perspective regular. As unique as 'normal' could possibly exist. I guess For me, Him and her Just didn't seem to fit The same way She and her Does. And I don't think I'll be kissing anyone Upside-down again For a while.

Metaphor
the ashes of ancient alchemical martyrs glow in the great tunnels of Hadron, whizzing faster than time at the behest of man, the measurer of all things including whether things are worth measuring or not a sordid joke on the great minds that sorted the mystery out long before quantum physicists crawled out from under the church’s labyrinth of insulting confabulations and pillaged the fortunes of others to build the great rings shall we bow to the new God? **** your experience, I’ll prove you wrong* He bellows from the podium built from the finest endangered trees and polished with the spit of all who disagree, and yet it’s truth in action the 9mm’s omniscient song sung across this suffering world: **** with me, and you’ll discover the truth**

There was smoke and there was fire I awoke with colors of your desire We made a tent, we made a pact, then you left Oh Pisces, you were my favorite mess I know I became your disaster Was I on your mind when you drove that car faster? You were the plane, and I was the hawk In a collision of the strange, so you decided to walk away Oh Pisces, don't you know We are just two fish swimming in the bowl The alphabet says it all Take a look, then give me a call

Partly darkened and part in light A time when the stars and sun shared the sky Bear witness to two behemoths wielding might Impending clash foreseen to go awry Two trains of thoughts charging from opposite ends Each bearing their own solid ideals Their flags that flew with conflicting brands Convictions they carry on beaten, weary wheels Almost an eternity, the time is soon Seconds lasted before they finally would meet Feeling of dread like the cloud covered moon With war cries of whistles, they would greet No possible way that they could miss War waged in steeled wills and forged metals Anticipate the moment, their couplings would kiss Unleashing a barrage of predestined reprisals Sheer destruction as they ate into each other All in tow haphazardly derailed A clash made of brute strength and power A result of when decisiveness had failed All was motionless save for the light of day The two lay dead; spent currencies in coal Fire and smoke had emerged from the fray Signifying that the two have met their goal Their cargo now freed, engaging in petty skirmish Lunging and wrestling as they fought for dominance Determination to overwhelm; never to languish Jousting fists fueled by pent-up vengeance Almost at end this long drawn battle Much like a storm to be patiently ridden out When the last of the debris should settle Then would be lifted the dusty veil of doubt The sun has now risen revealing the aftermath Shedding light on the devastation incurred Dark thoughts possess the most potent of wraths But nothing could beat the muscle of the written word Looking back I've realised the harm I've caused Found great solace in the dark words I've governed Life still hurls; it can never be paused Just dust yourself off for you're better off enlightened

You should never make fun of someone else’s beliefs Where you are right now has less than a few hundred million miles of surface area You can’t even walk on 70% of it 77 years of life on average if you’re a healthy American That’s only 4,015 weeks 28,105 days on this small planet floating in a large black mass You’ve already lived about one eighth of your life Time won’t stop for you Your days on this blue marble go by and there’s nothing you can do to stop it Believing there’s something more is nothing to scoff at Do you really believe that? they say Do you really believe there is a man in the sky? Well since you asked here’s my answer I believe there is meaning in every day I believe there is a point to waking up and doing good actions I believe there is a spirit in emotion And a metaphysical being who loves me endlessly Yes I believe in something more Now it’s my turn Do you really believe that? Do you really believe this whole thing is a scientific coincidence? A cosmic collision at a specific point An explosion that created all of this Perfect atoms with electrons that bond and share Creating perfect cells with all the right organelles A process of cellular respiration that coordinates as a perfect opposite to photosynthesis All to maintain homeostasis, the so-called “wonder process” that keeps us all alive Our bodies preserve an exact temperature, the ocean an exact pH and salinity and the ground an exact resistivity To keep us all alive Scientific coincidence We are all a coincidence? What about that shooting in Newtown More than one kid took a gun to his head and what for? Why was that so tragic? The shooter could have been conducting a scientific experiment What is the basis of right and wrong derived from? What are feelings derived from? Don’t tell me it’s science Don’t tell me that it’s science that makes you cry when you get dumped Science that breaks your heart when you lose that state championship Science that lightens your spirit when you go home to your beautiful family after a long hard day It’s not science It’s your soul A soul given to you with a light side and a dark side A soul with genius thoughts and horrid sins Genius thoughts you should act on Horrid sins you may commit anyway and He will love you He will forgive you Will your precious science forgive you? I wouldn’t force anything on anyone I wouldn’t question beliefs in science had my faith in God not first been tested I’m not asking you to believe, whether you do or not won’t affect our relations I just need to explain To each his own So don’t laugh at me

Scientific Coincidence
You should never make fun of someone else’s beliefs Where you are right now has less than a few hundred million miles of surface area You can’t even walk on 70% of it 77 years of life on average if you’re a healthy American That’s only 4,015 weeks 28,105 days on this small planet floating in a large black mass You’ve already lived about one eighth of your life Time won’t stop for you Your days on this blue marble go by and there’s nothing you can do to stop it Believing there’s something more is nothing to scoff at Do you really believe that? they say Do you really believe there is a man in the sky? Well since you asked here’s my answer I believe there is meaning in every day I believe there is a point to waking up and doing good actions I believe there is a spirit in emotion And a metaphysical being who loves me endlessly Yes I believe in something more Now it’s my turn Do you really believe that? Do you really believe this whole thing is a scientific coincidence? A cosmic collision at a specific point An explosion that created all of this Perfect atoms with electrons that bond and share Creating perfect cells with all the right organelles A process of cellular respiration that coordinates as a perfect opposite to photosynthesis All to maintain homeostasis, the so-called “wonder process” that keeps us all alive Our bodies preserve an exact temperature, the ocean an exact pH and salinity and the ground an exact resistivity To keep us all alive Scientific coincidence We are all a coincidence? What about that shooting in Newtown More than one kid took a gun to his head and what for? Why was that so tragic? The shooter could have been conducting a scientific experiment What is the basis of right and wrong derived from? What are feelings derived from? Don’t tell me it’s science Don’t tell me that it’s science that makes you cry when you get dumped Science that breaks your heart when you lose that state championship Science that lightens your spirit when you go home to your beautiful family after a long hard day It’s not science It’s your soul A soul given to you with a light side and a dark side A soul with genius thoughts and horrid sins Genius thoughts you should act on Horrid sins you may commit anyway and He will love you He will forgive you Will your precious science forgive you?

Signals cross dissonant chills along the surface of my skin, Prickled hair rises up under the brush of my touch. Warm sensation waves attention as flags fly high warning shots into the sky. My eyes wide shut abruptly in case the wind blows particulate along the curving arch of my vision, flipped back open upon collision, batting down waterfalls in between curtain calls as clapping hands of a broad audience pass the winning touchdown play onto poppy seed fields. My Love runs long and deep like the river through lost canyons, hiding unknown along the moist horizon of dew drop mornings. ...*Oh, me? I'm doing just fine fair weather, Light as a feather, am I.* But look! ...how the Earth shakes proudly the rocks upon her back. Cast no Stones, She moans ...and you? How do you do?*

Dew Drop Mornings
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. Transcending form, parenthetically   (Merely) the decorative,   Allure, artistry and symmetry Superlative complexity, Her erudition satiates, supplanting Winds of constructive banality. Purveyor of an uncommon savor, She collaborates in the peculiar Pursuit and reward, Encounter  with depth, explored, Human and divine, prosaic meets sublime Igniting within an Eros Passion for truth, being and Telos. Visionary of grace and peace Transforming our earthbound dissonance; Our caprice, Hope and abundance, the myth of scarcity, She narrates the Good. Pen, lens, color and stage Vulnerable, unrepressed, effusive Romantic articulation, The reservoir deep, Innately primed conduit of Love. Beyond plebeian, cosmetic, the trite Woman of substance, pulchritude And delight. Effervescent - her smile exquisite, Eclipsing suffering, Wordless expression, understood language. I am transported, my imagination replete, Sonya Rose - Art personified; unabridged, complete. ©2008 & 2013 W.S . Warner

I hear the thunder meddling its way among the raindrops that permeate through sunlight and realize that the weather is a motif for God's emotional prognosis. God is but a ****** he and I stammer upon the same boat. Our existence makes a pair of helplessly hanging doppelgangers, orbs of confusion that contract whiplash with every turn they make. Two repressed housewives that put all their hopes and dreams in a shit-stained smile. This collision of light and malevolance is but His way of symbolizing my shame-patronized indecision in a way that makes people tear up at the joy of beauty.
