"confer" poems
*Further my mind goes, than I believed it could fathom Fathoms below even the deceased dreams chasm Impassionately growing through and between atoms To learn There is no whole truth in solely words Blindfolded, if your mind isn't where the memory occurs So it's sure We'll never understand more than we're capable to confer And it doesn't mean, you can't relate to the way I toss n' turn In my sleep That it isn't the same color we bleed Or that we aren't perhaps equally 'deep' Just that we hold some nature of privacy in our thoughts, from any other's gaze Did I mention it was books of seperate authors, though we're on the same page? What I wish to relate today Is I have been changing to date I'm breaking, down just like anyone else Draining my health Enslaved by the chase of wealth Smiling while we're high, but we'll retreat to our personal hells The honesty is, I'm scared to delve into myself Because I know where my truth gets ugly, and has no glamour Not the 30 second commercial version of what it's like living with cancer It's habits, actions and manner Looming over my pride Leaving a weakness in my stride Making me feel tired before I've tried*

You Can't Keep Secrets From Your Dignity
From the BBC today, Excerpt Why does Taylor Swift write so many one-note melodies? "It's easy to get distracted by her celebrity, but Taylor Swift is a once-in-a-generation songwriter. From the very beginning, she's displayed a knack for melody and storytelling that most artists never master. Take, for example, her first US number one, OUR SONG Written for a high school talent show, it's a fairly typical tale of teenage romance until the final lines: "I grabbed a pen / And an old napkin / And I wrote down our song." That's smart, self-assured songwriting for someone who wasn't old enough to vote. Notably, the lyrics insert the musician directly into the narrative - something she developed into a tried and tested trope. But Our Song also establishes another of Taylor's trademarks: The one-note melody. Excerpt Repetitive melodies that centre around a single note are part of that appeal. They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech. "They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech." "They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech." "They emphasise her relatability by mimicking the cadence of speech." Rebuttal Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics. They can relate to your song but if they cannot sing it themselves putting themselves in the 'first-person perspective narrative' they cannot feel as-if they have BECOME the artist and are living that moment as they remember it. Taylor Swift sings about teenage love and angst something EVERYONE ON EARTH understands. ALL POETRY BEGAN AS RHYME IN SONG. Cadences are singing statements that confer a discipline and unity. Song acts as a catharsis. The artist shares their pain in a way that is universally understood. If you want to sell a rock, literally a pebble, you will not sell it if it doesn't look like a rock. If it doesn't do what rocks do. If it is not what people remember a rock to be like. Nor will it sell if it is just like every other rock they have ever seen. It cannot convey an emotion unless it elicits emotion. One cannot even begin to feel emotional if one cannot remember easily the past and that includes lyrics one has heard that evoked said emotional state. It is horrifying to see HOW BADLY EVERYONE INSISTS that rhyme be obliterated in exchange for an intellectual or individual perspective NOT SHARED BY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. If you want to sell and make money you better start thinking about the 99% of people who are not geniuses. If your sole goal in life is to attract a genius to give you a great job because of how, "smart," they perceive you to be then fine. You are not an artist. You are an employee. "Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics." "Rhyme sells because the people you are selling too can remember your lyrics."

737 The Moon was but a Chin of Gold A Night or two ago— And now she turns Her perfect Face Upon the World below— Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde— Her Cheek—a Beryl hewn— Her Eye unto the Summer Dew The likest I have known— Her Lips of Amber never part— But what must be the smile Upon Her Friend she could confer Were such Her Silver Will— And what a privilege to be But the remotest Star— For Certainty She take Her Way Beside Your Palace Door— Her Bonnet is the Firmament— The Universe—Her Shoe— The Stars—the Trinkets at Her Belt— Her Dimities—of Blue—

Gold and silver battle ***** torn from swords saddles and crosses lying beneath a farmer's field tributes to kings and bellicose gods. Fierce birds of prey snakes fish and bears framed in filigree geometry guarded warriors' savage souls. No mercy in Mercia. Archeologists anthropologists historians librarians curators and consertvators collect confer and classify while I just try to connect.

Tis customary as we part
(Ezekiel, xxxvi. 25-28) The Lord proclaims His grace abroad! "Behold, I change your hearts of stone; Each shall renounce his idol-god, And serve, henceforth, the Lord alone. "My grace, a flowing stream, proceeds To wash your filthiness away; Ye shall abhor your former deeds, And learn my statutes to obey. "My truth the great design ensures, I give myself away to you; You shall be mine, I will be yours, Your God unalterably true. "Yet not unsought or unimplored, The plenteous grace I shall confer; No -- your whole hearts shall seek the Lord, I'll put a praying spirit there. "From the first breath of life divine Down to the last expiring hour, The gracious work shall all be mine, Begun and ended in my power."

The Covenant
St. Margaret's bells, Quiring their innocent, old-world canticles, Sing in the storied air, All rosy-and-golden, as with memories Of woods at evensong, and sands and seas Disconsolate for that the night is nigh. O, the low, lingering lights! The large last gleam (Hark! how those brazen choristers cry and call!) Touching these solemn ancientries, and there, The silent River ranging tide-mark high And the callow, grey-faced Hospital, With the strange glimmer and glamour of a dream! The Sabbath peace is in the slumbrous trees, And from the wistful, the fast-widowing sky (Hark! how those plangent comforters call and cry!) Falls as in August plots late roseleaves fall. The sober Sabbath stir-- Leisurely voices, desultory feet!-- Comes from the dry, dust-coloured street, Where in their summer frocks the girls go by, And sweethearts lean and loiter and confer, Just as they did an hundred years ago, Just as an hundred years to come they will:-- When you and I, Dear Love, lie lost and low, And sweet-throats none our welkin shall fulfil, Nor any sunset fade serene and slow; But, being dead, we shall not grieve to die.

The wanderer follows No hallowed path Set forth for her By the sagacious few. Nor does she live To build her past For far off futures Whose seeds are sewn. No familiar face Has she ever seen That greets her where She decides to sleep But travels with The wind in her hair: The only companion She chooses to keep. All empires return To dust that birthed Them from the nothingness Of barren ground, And push the ambitious To build them tall For fleeting futures On foundations unsound. Such men still laugh At one like her Who possesses nothing In their eyes, And lives in chaos Of shifting destiny With no respect For human lies. But no future goal Controls her fate Nor worldly tethers Bind her past So she is free To contemplate Her relation to The earth so vast. She is the dust from God’s fingers that’s fallen on Ungrateful land And shows the blind And sinful people Their origin from The present at hand. They deride and mock Or at best ignore her And value what God Did not confer But she is more than the earth and sky And none can take What belongs to her.

WHILE HE STILL BREATHES
Between the hands, between the brows, Between the lips of Love-Lily, A spirit is born whose birth endows My blood with fire to burn through me; Who breathes upon my gazing eyes, Who laughs and murmurs in mine ear, At whose least touch my colour flies, And whom my life grows faint to hear. Within the voice, within the heart, Within the mind of Love-Lily, A spirit is born who lifts apart His tremulous wings and looks at me; Who on my mouth his finger lays, And shows, while whispering lutes confer, That Eden of Love’s watered ways Whose winds and spirits worship her. Brows, hands, and lips, heart, mind, and voice, Kisses and words of Love-Lily,— Oh! bid me with your joy rejoice Till riotous longing rest in me! Ah! let not hope be still distraught, But find in her its gracious goal, Whose speech Truth knows not from her thought Nor Love her body from her soul.

Love-Lily
I see a country Where the art of ******** reigns supreme, I see an ethical ship that's sinking But I'm too focused on my future to worry about these stagnant 'leaders' and their backward way of thinking I see a nation that is in a race, that could be sprinting, instead what we're doing is limping They sell us out to the highest bidder, I see what they are doing...it's pimping And they claim it's illegal... I see a monkey.. Swinging from tree to tree That monkey being a representation of you and me Swinging off and grabbing at branches In search of that ever illusive 'opportunity' I see pimping I see a society encouraged to operate in unity But, while we confer I see our 'pimp' exercise that 'divide and conquer' They say, what doesn't **** you makes you stronger I concur, that we are But I ask, for how much longer? I see a leadership that chooses to see whatever it wants to see One that is supposed to mirror me, but in it, there is no reflection of mine I happen to see I see a leader that seems to want to do right by us Surrounded by leutenants that seem to be encouraging him to drive right by us And not see I see a lot of cracks in the way they are running this state and it's obvious I pray that I may be forgiven for stating the obvious.

Within the forms of the ledges and ridges, threads of the feeble breezes tried to confer and draw forth, as their explanation, an acceptance through traveling with companions who did not reject the powers of conversation, held within the scenery and handed across without any alarm or voice of awakened hostility. The rejection was strong enough to stay in sight as the hovering screech of the necessary owl. Watching the bird, the creature of the steps above the spiral arm seemed to be at liberty to discover the gentle voices swirling through the mist. While the division of the stars proceeded to wash the scaffold free of a slow moving controversy, the remaining voices presented rambling rings and the stripes of planets. It was late in the evening. Swirling spots remained to be counted, an expense that provided sustenance to families of flowers and the wafted powers of pollen as seeds with mechanical metal threaded between one nebula and the next. The waves tossed a small barn up onto the edge of the mountain but used reassuring words to surround the animals allowing them to travel comfortably. Conversation usually included any of the stars that were emerging from the entertainment field. These had been packed, carefully, with the necessary, spare parts and albums filled with memories in photographs. Frequent glances wore a familiar trail between the shelter and the edge where moss cascaded like rivers of joy moving among the banks of grass, carrying the hulls, like fish, through channels into the city. Acutely reminded that serious people would be encountered before the ages ended, the mice were nice and did not tempt the birds into flights and attacks. The exception to this was hunger which ruled the loyalty of the rodent population. Any, of the gathering, with reddish fur cast a shadow down the stairway lit, as it always had been, from the tremendous stellar flights that were lost, as sparks above the dark chimney, the matter in charge of all convection for a reasonable and eternal distance into the mine.

Days are dark, nights lay long, Burning bridges keep us warm. Wearily walking this road again We bare the weight of the tinder, The whispers and the flame. What was once, Shall never be the same. The past floats as ash Shadows cast on fallen rain. While the willows weep in vain The canopies confer in koans The wind is passing wisdom, Through leaves and seeds unsown.

Give back my time!
A baby boy shuts his eyes and sees bull continents drift, collide, startle, spin around. Prehistoric bucks suddenly accusing- (Did YOU just back into ME?) They jam head-to-head, gouge, reconcile, then confer. The boy likes what he sees. The beasts get down to business. They iron out earth's future with special bellows, & lots of musk. Above this caucus of nodding, naying heads, clacking antlers mesh into a burgeoning thicket. He calls for more! The thicket shudders, sprouts into a dagger forest. It shoots up recklessly, like a baby's legs, and jabs the sky with young ideas: New species, struggles, lies. Whole societies in the air, too busy to teach their children about the bellowing below.            The weight of so much life is too much. There is a final SNAP of prehistoric backs. Not a grain remains on which to carve the memory of all the things that passed before this boy's eyes.

She touches me and knows not why and that frightens her. She's the only one that can make me cry, so she wonders. How can I let her know I'm no threat just an admirer. I only wish to touch her kaleidoscope heart as when friends confer. Yet she watches me from a distance and that distance she keeps. The longer she stays away the harder my battered soul weeps. I have no dark motive nor any sinister plans. Even if I desired, I could never be what she demands. I guess convincing her of this is completely out of my hands. So in the darkess corner of her mind is where I'll remain...is where I'll stand.
