"common" poems
There are roots that delve deep in our bones, wrapping us like our skin. They define who we are. But, who am I? I am learned, sophisticated, well versed in history and language. My companions are numbers, papers, pens, and letters. I drive a fine silk suit: shiny, clean, fragrant... Though am I, really? Or am I one who acts the opposite? One who is surrounded by those who have numbers, papers, pens, and letters as companions whilst I am with pebbles, leaves, sticks; driving a worn out hide made from a dying pig. Or maybe, I am both... No. I am not common folk who act out the Streets on a home lined with shiny rocks, smooth paper on a lap, twinkling fireflies hanging from the roof whilst displaying what I've learned from being raised around uniforms and books.

Finding Myself: Two in One
After getting so close to you and also getting to close to loosing you forever, I decided to redefine importance. While I was redefining importance, I got to understand how far friendship can stretch. After that, I came to a conclusion that friendship is a lot more greater than love. Below I'm going to give some emphasis which I hope will make you understand. LOVE Greedy: You get so absorbed in the moments you share with this person, you never want anyone else to share them, cause you're afraid his or her attention would be taken away from you. FRIENDSHIP Sharing: You understand that one of the basic principle in life is sharing, so even if you have breath taking moments, you allow others experience it as well cause you're sure friendship is enough to go round. LOVE Has a limit: When people are in "In Love", if it's not meant to be, it eventually ends and this people turn from lovers to strangers. Then start referring to each other with past tense. FRIENDSHIP Knows no limit: When you are friends with a person, in all honesty there's no such thing as the end. Even if circumstances takes you far away, you see no point in becoming strangers. You just kick start where you left off, and in no time catching up is done. No heart breaks. No past tense. LOVE Heartbreak: Because we only want our partners to ourself, or cause we feel like we've attained a certain point in love, then we have the right to be in the know of every situation going on in the other persons mind. Hence the heart break when a mistake is made. FRIENDSHIP Forgiveness: Because we don't wanna lose what we have, and we understand that we are human who have strengths and weaknesses, when a friend offends, we forgive, we don't see it as the end of the road cause in friendship, we understand forgiveness is a basic principle. LOVE No boundaries: Love makes us think we are on soul, you are me, I am you, there should be nothing between us and these prompts us to be all up in each other's faces, never having  alone times, never doing what we enjoy even if our partners don't like it. Love doesn't give room for secret hide outs. There's always crossing the boundary. FRIENDSHIP Boundaries: Friendship understands that we have our individual differences. Friendship knows when you to give you time to sulk, cause you need to heal. Friendship knows how to allow you enjoy your stupid snack even if the other friend doesn't like it. Friendship doesn't make you feel bad for having an opinion, instead it makes fun of it and you all laugh. Friendship understands signs and friendship will always come back for you even if you have a big head. LOVE Jealous: Love gets jealous and causes heart break. FRIENDSHIP Doesn't give a **** Friendship enjoys the moment with you and no one sees the point to be jealous. Friendship is not common, but love is everywhere. When you find a friend, keep him or her cause if it slips off your hands, you might never get it back. Love can be amazing if you have the attributes of a good friend. You hardly find a two in one package. If you do, **** You're lucky. If you don't, always remember FRIENDSHIP CAN BE SHARED

Some say love's a little boy, And some say it's a bird, Some say it makes the world go around, Some say that's absurd, And when I asked the man next-door, Who looked as if he knew, His wife got very cross indeed, And said it wouldn't do. Does it look like a pair of pyjamas, Or the ham in a temperance hotel? Does its odour remind one of llamas, Or has it a comforting smell? Is it prickly to touch as a hedge is, Or soft as eiderdown fluff? Is it sharp or quite smooth at the edges? O tell me the truth about love. Our history books refer to it In cryptic little notes, It's quite a common topic on The Transatlantic boats; I've found the subject mentioned in Accounts of suicides, And even seen it scribbled on The backs of railway guides. Does it howl like a hungry Alsatian, Or boom like a military band? Could one give a first-rate imitation On a saw or a Steinway Grand? Is its singing at parties a riot? Does it only like Classical stuff? Will it stop when one wants to be quiet? O tell me the truth about love. I looked inside the summer-house; It wasn't over there; I tried the Thames at Maidenhead, And Brighton's bracing air. I don't know what the blackbird sang, Or what the tulip said; But it wasn't in the chicken-run, Or underneath the bed. Can it pull extraordinary faces? Is it usually sick on a swing? Does it spend all its time at the races, or fiddling with pieces of string? Has it views of its own about money? Does it think Patriotism enough? Are its stories ****** but funny? O tell me the truth about love. When it comes, will it come without warning Just as I'm picking my nose? Will it knock on my door in the morning, Or tread in the bus on my toes? Will it come like a change in the weather? Will its greeting be courteous or rough? Will it alter my life altogether? O tell me the truth about love.

I pick up the skirt, I pick up the sparkling beads in black, this thing that moved once around flesh, and I call God a liar, I say anything that moved like that or knew my name could never die in the common verity of dying, and I pick up her lovely dress, all her loveliness gone, and I speak to all the gods, Jewish gods, Christ-gods, chips of blinking things, idols, pills, bread, fathoms, risks, knowledgeable surrender, rats in the gravy of 2 gone quite mad without a chance, hummingbird knowledge, hummingbird chance, I lean upon this, I lean on all of this and I know: her dress upon my arm: but they will not give her back to me.

For Jane: With All The Love I Had, Which Was Not Enough
Anything can look like a poem and sound philosophical simply by moving the words on different lines. Am I doing it right? Is this really talent? Art? Effort? I think I am trying. Really, I am I go back and change the order and I break lines where it sounds right But it does not take me long. Not at all. I try to be intentional and call it natural rhythm. Instinct and style taking over I alternate between agonizing every detail like When to Capitalize and publishing free form poems without looking over them twice. How is writing supposed to feel? Should I labor? or should it flow? Or do I get to decide? I think the things I talk of mean something at least. But am I just pretentious? fooling myself into thinking that using common poetry formats somehow makes my work worthwhile?

Is this art?
Disappointment is thrown strongly at my direction. Blame gathers in large quantities like a pest infestation. "It's your fault" and words like "You always make mistakes" evoke anger. Anger which I want to take out on myself and take out on others. I can excel in my work of choice, I know I'm more than average. The bad gets pointed out more and little praise is given for the good. Stunned by unmoving words. I'm like a prisoner sentenced to jail, released and expected to do worse. Destruction emerges from my enraged emotions, i wish your words could offer a solution. I want to be an alchemist and turn things into gold. It's ironic how I am a creator of words but cant create better words in my critics. Conversations lead to arguments because i want to be heard. I'm sick of revolving doors, sick of being slammed by your atrocious comments. "You have no common sense" you say to me, maybe I just prefer to be in a daydream, my mind drifting away because life is too dull. Realize that what you say has an effect and that effect can drive somebody or stop them in motion.

A friend of mine walked up to me and asked me: "What is a good woman?" I replied "you would know if you were a good man" He said "Stop joking I really wanna know" "There is no definite answer, but when you meet one, it will show" There are many characteristics that make a good woman, but it would take days to speak them all Since my friend brought this to mind, I thought I would list a few for y'all A woman who is proud of what she brings and won't complain over petty things A woman who is well spoken and not opposed to listening because communication is key from the beginning A woman who is wise and able to realize the pit you are in doesn't matter because she will help your rise A woman who wouldn't try to control her man but also wouldn't be a doormat And when trouble comes up, her feet won't be flat (she's ready to go) A woman who never stops believing in the man that you are and the man you can become So much confidence in you, it almost makes her seem dumb A virtuous woman who prays for you more than she prays for herself Remembering God is number one above all else A woman who tries to pay for herself before you can offer Knowing the difference between selfless and selfish is something you should prefer A woman with the power of forgiveness But don't abuse it Because a good woman is not stupid She will lose it You will lose her and have no one to blame when your heart takes the hit If you hurt a good woman, in my eyes, you aren't worth the saliva I spit The ice cream no one would lick The one that gets thrown down in hope ants would leave a picnic To pick apart your existence Use your common sense Realize what's in front of you and cherish it Woman is the title a female receives at a certain age But it takes a good man to realize a good woman is on the next page I'm not saying a good woman needs to have this quote for quote I don't think any woman does, if so, let me know I haven't met any besides my family, but I don't go down that road I'm being patient, waiting for my good woman is giving me time to grow So I can give her the best Brandon Everett Davis, the world doesn't know To not be on their level, would be a sin Let's become better men for these good women

You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Daddy, I have had to **** you. You died before I had time ---- Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off the beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du. In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My ****** friend Says there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw. It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obscene An engine, an engine, Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew. The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gypsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew. I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You ---- Not God but a ******** So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you. You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man who Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do. But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf look And a love of the rack and the ***** And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through. If I've killed one man, I've killed two ---- The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now. There's a stake in your fat black heart And the villagersnever liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you ******* I'm through.

Metaphors for blue eyes There's one for every shade of blue A rainbow of silken language meant to charm They're as common as the color itself But recently I've come to realize Why Her eyes Dark, under curling lashes and golden hair Like crystals flashing from the rough Dream-catching sunbeams and sparkling Like the summer sun on a warm pool A medley of sapphires and diamonds That I wouldn't trade for the world His eyes Fairy pools of magic wonder The not-so-secret glimmer of bright water An enchanted river whose glow Is the bright warmth of an autumn day Crystalline water that welcomed my touch The still surface broken when he laughs

Metaphors for Blue Eyes
I came upon a dandelion   An ordinary, common **** Most people don't look twice Unless it infected their gardens. Then it is uprooted, stem and head. Thrown away and then forgotten. But that **** meant something different to me It was sunshine and laughter Bouquets made of thistle and lavender Bunched together and given to my mother It was rolled up jeans That perfect summer breeze Cuts and bruises on my knees It was my childhood Memories that I can't quite grasp But what I can remember is the bright yellow, Stark against the grass

The ****
**No Justice, No Peace If we can't get it from the Court then we'll take it from the Streets No Justice, No Peace **** the Police and what you believe!** Whatever happened to Revolution Being the American way? When your voice remains unheard For which you suffer every day, Your life is constantly stepped on, Your rights keep getting taken away, And in spite of the lies they spin to protect your oppressors, You still keep the rage at bay Because you are not Above the Law and neither is anyone else. So taking matters into your own hands Isn't going to help. You entrust the justice system to do what it's supposed to Even though you know it never has and is probably never going to. But if you haven't done anything wrong and the Law doesn't serve you, and only seems to defend the people who've already hurt you, then honestly I think it's insane and completely absurd to not only expect the People not to react, but to honor a curfew. **** YOU** Do you hear us yet? **** YOU** Oh, it's inappropriate? You don't wanna talk about it? You don't wanna think about it? You don't wanna deal with it? Well guess what? Nobody ******* does, nobody ******* would, nobody ever ******* could. But for the people who don't look like you - Aryan Beauty Standards Hair of Gold, Eyes of Blue Fair-skinned, light-skinned European skeleton, It was never a choice they had.

I love my home, America But I hate what it's become Land of the greedy, home of the afraid Kingdom of the Loud and Dumb Slut-shaming, victim-blaming, race-hating, race-baiting Sensationalization of the worst crimes in the nation Religious intolerance, homophobic misogyny, blatant racial discrimination Can't get with it, can't hang At least not in the lynch mob sense I am blown the **** away at the grievous absence of common sense. So when they lit those flags on fire in the center of the town *I understand, and I can't blame them the flag is truer up in flames now* And if they so decide to burn the city to the ground, *I understand, and I can't blame them I would wanna burn it down* **No Justice, No Peace If we can't get it from the Court then we'll take it from the Streets No Justice, No Peace **** the Police and **** your Beliefs!**

Injustice (Warning: Offensive)
**No Justice, No Peace If we can't get it from the Court then we'll take it from the Streets No Justice, No Peace **** the Police and what you believe!** Whatever happened to Revolution Being the American way? When your voice remains unheard For which you suffer every day, Your life is constantly stepped on, Your rights keep getting taken away, And in spite of the lies they spin to protect your oppressors, You still keep the rage at bay Because you are not Above the Law and neither is anyone else. So taking matters into your own hands Isn't going to help. You entrust the justice system to do what it's supposed to Even though you know it never has and is probably never going to.

Could it be that I substitute lustful infatuation for love? or mistake an act of kindness for trust? Using his words to define me, i mean refine me, leaving the real me in the dust Can you really blame me for being attracted to someone who shows interest in my existence Someone who is persistent, consistent and whose smile breaks my resistance It's a real feeling I get of satisfaction through common conversation of nothingness The willingness to waste time with me means something to me if not everything for me because time can not be given back Sorry your interest in my existence was nonexistent, guess in the 90's being a father was wack. Respect from hoes was worth more than respect from your daughter If it was up to you, if you were her, you would have probably said "abort her" You knew I was a girl and that I'd be your first daughter but that wasn't enough for you You had 9 months which turned into 1 plus twenty now you're begging for my heart to attend to it's broken it needs amends too, a man too? So I'm looking at guy after guy to cut into some deep hurting pain from my past Not realizing that they can't give me what I'm missing cause I can't miss what I never had I asked God for a brother but I never got em When I was 8 I wanted to meet my Father but I never saw em After that, just like everything you cant change in life, you learn to accept Accept and move on not accept and dwell in it Yet I found myself looking for what I lacked in a male figure in a young boy I didn't know it yet but my innocence he would destroy How can you be sure about love and if you're in it, if there is no demonstration clearly displayed to see How can i be sure that he loves me for me, not what i give or what i can be but everything that I am if I haven't truly accepted me for me I long to feel love from a man who created me with his ***** Not physical love from a boy with a toy in it ***** I'm talking something long term Deeply invested in things that cannot be returned or given back Like time, memories, laughs, tears, words, or the lack...thereof

* What an "ANGELUS" time it is These times of LOVE The "SALATS" of the moment embraces everything around us Is it the "FAJR" of birds kissing? Is it the "ASR" of cats stretching? Is it the "MAGHRIB" of peacocks screams? Those are the sound of LOVE I suppose I can see on the cheeks The wetness of the kiss That has not dried yet Who is the LOVE (BELOVEDz /  LOVERz) who causes The tears swell in the eyes Of the one who LOVES? Why is the eagerness to touch The bare shoulders so enticing? Why the heart longs to drown into LOVE (BELOVEDz / LOVERz) core? Placing one's face on the lap The flower smells jasmine rains Close eyes and experience my LOVE When I seal your pores with my lips? Can I sing you lullabies When you sleep besides me peacefully? Can I snap a new art sculpture Out of your hair every morning? Forget your thoughts While feeling my LOVE By being in LOVE with me Why the words become worthless When we share A common breathing between our lips? Who is listening to the music Of our heart-beats? Why do roses rain over us When we share our chromosomes? Who are they? There, below the waterfalls Behind the mountain caves The two magical unicorns in LOVE? Who will pray "TEFILLAH" When we are in Ultimate union of LOVE? Who will "TENEBRAE" our lives To illuminate our souls? So that we "THEOPHANY" the LOVE deity of ONENESS Now tell me... Will the clouds answer our LOVE-call? Will the first ray of sun ever find us? Will the moon ever illuminate dark lives? Will the stars sparkle over our springs? Will the dew drop give birth to seedlings? To save the cosmos & planet EARTH Let us embrace into Single semantic of LOVE *

The ****** They say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, however the ****** is a gold mine. Women do not even know what their possess many a nation have gone to war, because of this ugly beauty, the seven hundred wives of King Solomon and his three hundred concubines a great example of what the ugly beauty can do. Infidelity is on the rise, so many lies, since the ****** is an embarassing subject why men lie and killed for it, For this remarkable commodity A ****** is like a Van Gogh painting, it gets lot of attention. A weapon so powerful It can break a man down to his lowest it has a language of its own. silly words like sup, sup, sup. during loving making However, that was supposed to be the primary appeal of a beer to men. The ****** and a beer have so much in common they both get their men all the time, a smooth transportation, in addition, the lamentation, ****** you are surely number one! Men incredible dreams, No matter how destructive or fulfilling,. .

# *I wander throught the works of art upon a gorgeous but cool day, Bewildered by the beauty (and the price they ask to pay). Paintings hang in canvas booths in styles of every kind. Statues, crafts and metalwork aesthetically designed Food and drink and music too a rousing, festive place. But oh my friends, the greatest art was smiles on every face. So many strangers mingling with a common goal to share To wit: a friendly greeting and goodwill enough to spare. Indeed, the day was perfect with weather cool and fine. But nothing tops a friendly smile in harmony with mine.* #

Sat on a sedan Spiderman took her hand. Went down on one knee And said Will you marry me? I cannot face The rest of eternity With each generation's Take on modernity. It's old fashioned values I look for and see - Your confidence, Common sense, Your honesty, Sincerity, Your quirkiness And peacableness. But most of all Your peerless take on life Is what does it for me. Will you be my wife? Spiderman, Spiderman, How you do woo! And you have such qualities That draw me to you - Your patience, Respect, Your considerable intellect, Your gentleness, Strength of mind - I could go on at length and find You could be my cobweb? I could be your fly? Could you be the man for me Until the day I die? What more can I say than You may have concurred That I do things my own way. So can you guess? Little Miss Muffet Said Yes! And do you know what? As they lay there On that Le Corbusier chair Without a care in the world - And you know it's not novel To be graphic - They were not afraid at all.

Spiderman Proposes To Little Miss Muffet
Teamwork Solves The Problem They say “two minds are better than one.” Nothing could be truer. As I watched a friend and his relative, patiently, take apart and fix a broke appliance. I relaxed and observed. The two had the item repaired and figured out quicker than one whose questions are the parts in which the other can answer when there, with him, aiding in the battle of winning the war to piece together a needed tool , that needs mending. Through answered questions from a partner well answering problems, the other had faced, piecing together the problem, through help and sweet and strong reliance. Upon another to help in rougher times. I remarked on such, the phrase, as they smiled. In agreement…it wa voted unanimously. That :”two minds are better than one” Simultaneously….we all nodded. It was a new motto on which we have started to have styled… Even more so, even a “ton” of minds wishing to achieve the same goal - to fix a broken moment… or even a city that is in disrepair. such, through unity, the item was finished and the conversation had ended…. It is alike war and conflicts…… …. Having people, ready with you, voluntarily by your side… Is better than being too tall for one’s own good…or even better motives… If he fails to see that “one is not an island…” “Nor is one an army…” Common Sense tells him to ask for “brother’s in arms” which overrides any strong form of blind pride..
