~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is not a poem.  This is about a poem. Poems require words.  This poem does not require words. This poem requires memories' muscles. This poem requires what is called colloquially love. Learn that what we share here is not poetry. Your poetic senses that produce the words that mark you present are but surgical tools to extract, release the whole and the parts of you that help shape that single sense borning in your chest that defines you at any particular moment. Quæ est mater Laureat. She is the Mother Laureate. She is the boundary you must learn to cross to be more than a re-arranger of letters and alphabets, but a translator of the human essence and fill our veins with the a sense of awe and wonder felt when we read each other and think aloud, "yes, exactly, that was and is precisely what I was feeling." She is the glue that keeps us sticking here, sticking together, each of us sticking to it.   You do not know her?   No worries, she will find you when you least expect it, perhaps when you need it. This is not a poem.  This is a human who's a poem. Understand the difference and then you may begin a journey that has no destination other than weaving the connective tissue that makes us anticipating excited when we log on. Happy Birthday Mother Poet Laureate! I do not think I can write a better not poem for you.   Forgive me then, if going toward, I repost this every October 24th as long as the chemical composition of blood, God, spirit, logos or reason runs free within,   exiting as words encased in tears that formulate into human poetry. nattyman P.S.There are 800 poems here with Sally in the title, and least 700  are about Sally B.   If you like, please  feel to free to add yours, old or new.

The road was long and rough It was a passageway of words A parade of letters and prose The touch of invisible pleasure I moulted like a snake in season I dreamt on a cruiser of reign as we opened my pandora box in the cave The road was smooth and right It was a third eye paradise of seers A mire of misery and blowing wind The tears flew like fireflies on heat I met the shrinks of souls in salt bed I waved the rain as it washed my sins On that sight of the pandora box The road of wrongness and rightness It was an unfolded augury of life An awakened sleeper roared in dreams The days when I touched the skies I took the broken house and mended I saw the clouds as bright as crimson Inside the box when I met my twin The road of love, lust, love, longness It was when the ember coal was wild A blaze of soul collision and resonance The days when doubt taunted in mazes I wrested my mind and the heart knew I tested the precipice and intuition led Inside the unconditional pandora box   The road where I hid and felt alive It was a paradise of shining trees A place where our loneliness merged The safest heaven on barren lands I saw my warrior and he shielded I sat as he ran away with fear and pride On that very opened pandora box The road of unforgotten forever It was a triangulation of continents An immersion of difference and indifference The open table of a scarce connective mess I shed my naive bed and hardened I shut the wild untwisted world On that very inevitable pandora

The Penpal and I:Inside a Pandora Box

I would've loved to meet her. The sweetness you spoke in her honor. A gentle breeze in a month of freezes. Electric, connective, explorative. I would love to meet the next. The sweetest of peas. Only bluest when being overly fruitful. Reflections of trekking tower of the familial tree. Expectations of expecting in introspect. Forgive me for being greedy, wanting to be involved in your life. Forgive me for involving my love. I shall let the resting rest, the ones that need rest to get rested, and give my mind and soul a rest. Ifeanyichuku Okoro © 2023

"Leaving, Entering" - 11.11.23
I always wanted to be that random style of writer Writing about things which have no connection In reality but they are connective only by the ingenuity Of his genuflection; the circumvention of his Circuitous routing, his plaintive perturbing petulance Which insists on stacking things of different orders Flying birds together of different species If I could write something of the ticking of clocks Not as though the ticking were of premeditated duration Embedded in metal tracks around perimeters Of prevaricated die-cast hours; but as though the ticking Were only a random fixture of a theoretical day In which random clocks ticking played a minor role During the still life of which a poet happened along And copied it all down dutifully, not caring if Ticking clocks were related to pitchers of Forsythia Or falling off of cliffs into the Aegean; The only task of the poet to capture it all And let the reader sort it out later In the random tracks of his circuitous brain: Whether the pitcher was full of sea Or the sea was stealing into the pitcher One blue, serendipitous drop at a time And where no clocks were keeping time.

Painting of a Drop of Seawater
What am I thinking about on these hot summer days besides your cool, coy, cheerful gaze. Oh, I'm moving forward but still pondering on of your sparkle in the distant northwest horizon. I'm thinking of those twinkles in your smile that travel 1000s of fiber optic online miles. I'm saddened to read your goodbye... and see you go You, and your online profile... that is... this thoughtfulbeau. I'll miss your Hi!, Hey!, Yah!, Yeah!... and your full smile your patience for my replies... and willingness to stay online awhile. I'll miss your  attempts to banter... and our brief chats your witty answers... and allergic opinion about cats. Sigh. . . . With your goodbye and turning off the dating light I could choose to wallow in my own spite. I feel the loss but not rejected or hurt I'm filled with positive regard and a connective comfort. Such as nectar turns into honey by a bee... you sweetened my besotted feelings into endearing bounty. So it feels right knowing your heart has found its light. A local love who hears your voice respects your choice and hopefully fits like a warm glove. So keep your lights bright to keep each other warm through the cool and comforting Portland nights. Peace out... ;o)

don’t be dashing round oh you so young and dashing dash; so energetic – you just bewilder us all O dash – what a dash you make for it; O dash – what surprises you have in store O dash – you’re not connective tissue like the hyphen; but dash - you are a more dramatic fellow I did use you once, dash - but my sentence tripped and fell; so now when I call on you I ensure I’ve got you tied – like a dog to the leash don’t be dashing round oh you so young and dashing dash; so energetic – you just bewilder us all

i think my feel box is malfunctioning, i gotta find a screwdriver to pop off the faceplate and inspect the insides. it keeps saying the latitude and longitude aren’t localized. i can’t calibrate it because i’m up in the air. it flickers when it beeps and my static causes feedback. birds don’t know anything about artificial connective tissue, but they know all about falling.

defeat is only an objective. as I lead I gain prospective haters hate through being deceptive the envy spreads like sheets infective while they creep playing detective wolve in sheep until their accepted their reasoning is subjective I just wait until they reach then disconnected their connective I'm a beast, I can't be infected work off pure instinct raw fear instantly detected human nature, to be expected my only actions moving forward is corrective i exceed all expectations with standing ovations, use to bring power to foreign nations outworking occupations make so much sense i get paid vacations my buildings, block foundations I empowered nations for generations

Pain Eats at my very soul Heart beats hard exploding in my brain with each thump Pain No one can understand unless they have been here My mind screams with the unfairness of it all Pain It eats away at your confidence in self first I was a strong minded woman now weak without strength Pain It can't be described as it rips through the body Wholes are throughout leaving tunnels along the connective tissue Pain Detroying that which makes me unique Takes away my wisdom as the tunnels weaken the mind Pain Leaving fear in places that used to be fearless Alone as the demons remove my self worth Pain Creeps its way into the heart eating at the good as well as the bad Heart skipping beats as it begins to lose its ability to beat Pain Works against every positive thing one has in life Taking away my ability to stand on my own two feet making me dependent Pain Chews and feeds until it overuns the mind and body Nothing left to help me fight even my will has been chewed away Pain Left to finish the job as no one notices before it is to late I cry for help yet the vileness fills my throat and mouth making it impossible Pain Takes everything away, then heads to the next victim I am left lifeless, no strength, energy, no will to live, fight, or breathe, If only I had noticed sooner when that first seed was planted I wish I had paid more attention to the weird things I noticed Now I can no longer survice for the pain has won Please I beg you, do not let it happen to you FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT BACK! Don't let it win Don't find yourself in a huge lifeless formwanting to escape with no outlet For heaven's sake fight for your life beat the pain take its power away I will be buried soon and the pain will try to skip to another person Put up your defenses around me and don't let it in destroy it while it is trapped inside of me Pain It is a scarey way to go, save yourself from the pain

Words, they have some arcane power, the ability of adjectives to steer our mind subjectively. The presence of nouns, now, they'll denote something of note, could be a cookie, a concept, a cart, a coat. Of course there's pronouns abound to substitute these nouns, from her to him, and from me to you; it's pronouns that make a sentence feel new. Now we musn't forget the versatile verb, the essence of to do, verbing verb is quite absurd though possible, it's true. But how to enhance the explanation of an action, for example if I'm acting, who's to say it's great or lacking, well that's an adverbs job to do. And... We can't forget the connective.

clearly, the days slip past i nearly lasted, keeping track tags and descriptions, each one placed as if a benefit falls upon the lot for drawing connective lines god's dead, god's not dead, i'm god, the god of sand, ephemera at my command but what's it mean? these things take time, but not seriously, because the sun hits the wax on a paper cup and it blinds us from the bushes and so low, can't care so low, lone, done dead can't care for upsides but asides and sideways

The Utter Dregs: Junktown
In my folly, of following fathers that have come before me; I find myself lost, strewn about, and blown off course. Teachers taught me time, in only the most linear of directions. Yet the sins of those long past, seem to rest a weight, Heavy upon my back. Each of us an Atlas, on our knees before our masters. It seems quite the contradiction, to have freedom inside a system. Where rules are loose, in their applied use. A game of pick and choose; Played with loaded dice, that always seem to favor the few. We the beast of burden, weakest first, penthouses the new-age church Where the powers preach the verse. Lost in our lack of direction, like southern-bound birds, Plucked of their feathers. Grounded in work boots, dumbfounded and resolute, In poisoning our connective roots. Fields of flowers and acres of pine, burning with the flame, Stolen from us, somewhere along the line A sinking ship, with only ***** rags to plug the holes. Streets once paved with gold, Forever cracked like our collective souls.

Folly Of Our Fathers
entertain the knowing of a term amid how many names to paint that known --depends on termless origins rising co-become conditional a part for one unknown ~ wholly always ever-new produced in co-consuming-birthing all ~ intertracing weaves of what was thought was thought connective tissue waves to render individual arrays of signing signlessness, precise obliques, pretend unends all captured all undone and finally defined in seamless positings of word yet freely boundless always having ever been alive in proto-symbols wet then dry of life beyond the ken of humankindly limits seen at brinks of sight    .

It's a common bond between the two making a difference, connective tissue assembled into a greatness a line of weakness combative graveyard A manic savior Tips to what keeps us up a cheers to another empty cup invincibility shall drown like a statue underground pushed away for decades Eagerly brimming with pain A terror of hope shrieking of ghosts of demons and mongrels that make-up these problems a mask of fluidity free flow down the hatch A liver is weakened by this ugly thrash

Terror Thrash
You know what it’s like to be alone with god? (long version) (An infinite rustle of ideas Silenced in this steady heart.) Here my shoes fall freely god knows I’m hungry for primitive answers; you see I relate to life’s barefoot minimum while maintaining a full set of godly lotus lashes, who’s petals fall like thin paper trails where I rest my mind as I savor earths crooning tempo At night with you god the fires burn like morning coals Just enough to start the coffee, Just enough to wash my face Just enough to sip away night trails made of lust from another existence. genuflection in prayer is my choice because this position lends me a humbleness that makes clear my own yearnings, my desires are purified into understanding that I can never stop this flow of desire. I pray with connective tissue smells of jasmine and myrrh and pinpoint the dust bowls of fury hiding north of my shoulder blades. I am soothed by the contrast, where I bow my head and make my own pearls of wisdom to follow, you hummm to my knowing, you dance to my foibles like prince did in purple rain. You never ask for love, I Just feel like love. I ponder: don’t you think god that this fermenting human existence is innocent after all? after the fall (after birth love’s forgotten all knowing) for it is in birth I am blinded by my mothers cooing call and now, that’s all. It really does not matter why I forgot I remember now All of this ‘knowing’ triggered by my failings Triggered by the lack of ‘others’ to fill me up Triggered by the desperation to know who I really am because of my … failings I look above and our likeness is astounding, I may faint in the truth of it ALL… I am flush to the bone I fall Landing in the crucifix position Against the wall of Desdemona’s illusions I lift the veil I open up to your call (The All In All) You said, “and greater works shall ye do than me” You said, “be still and know that I am god”. “The seed does not fall far from the tree,” you said The busy bees came through imagined murderous pesticides That was my life (imagined) and their words hummed me towards my alignment “accept your magnificence” they buzzed then god said: ”change your focus and let your failings fall like tears (did you say duckwater god?) …magnify the joy” And you will see The I (In You) And The (You In) Me.

It really does not matter why I forgot I remember now All of this ‘knowing’ triggered by my failings Triggered by the lack of ‘others’ to fill me up Triggered by the desperation to know who I really am because of my … failings I look above and our likeness is astounding, I may faint in the truth of it ALL… I am flush to the bone I fall Landing in the crucifix position Against the wall of Desdemona’s illusions I lift the veil I open up to your call (The All In All) You said, “and greater works shall ye do than me” You said, “be still and know that I am god”. “The seed does not fall far from the tree,” you said The busy bees came through imagined murderous pesticides That was my life (imagined) and their words hummed me towards my alignment “accept your magnificence” they buzzed then god said: ”change your focus and let your failings fall like tears (did you say duckwater god?) …magnify the joy” And you will see The I (In You) And The (You In) Me.

It shines and lusters Through any case, she tries to hide it Its jagged edges sprawl, like the rays of the sun Hypnotized by its beauty, she grabs hold of it Edges piercing her fragile skin But oh how the diamond glows She barely notices the crimson Gracefully floating through the pores on her delicate fingers Connective tissue starts to mend the pain, lacerations become scars She ignores the old wounds as she cannot leave the diamond be She’ll hide it with her forever until she can no longer feel

As the night shifts, the glass prints The universe retorts and restores Connective strands pulls from dark Exposed from the rumbled tosses Mosses generate, diversified integration Masses inaugurated in magical reality Electrified from the syndical sorrows Tarots of the forgiven, sad sung songs The tree branches held strong as I slid The town halls illuminated to capture A magnificence of a nature umbilical Enclosed in the warmth of the placenta My centre cored on the base of the earth A need to belong on grounded dense soil Calm tornados and typhoons unheated Treated in fountained grace of existence

Glass Prints
Sounds of your voice linger Within connective tissue,  Memories of us engaging in laughter,  Present in mind, but reality has past us,  Phone conversations, Endless talks Hours of nothing Counting minutes Two second call To no rings at all.

Phone Calls
What is our society if not a copycat catastrophe A cold-hearted calamity of blind hindsight Severed chains reforged in the flames of minimum wage How we herald the heretic Free is the slave who detaches their arms and legs To gift kings their reign Jeweled towers of bone reach to the sky And devour the progress of our connective open roads What is prosperity absent a shared purpose Like a brain held apart from its own heart Human history imprisoned on a page Ink-stained chronicle of our original sin Thinking we can get where were going By forgetting all we have been Each obstacle a handcrafted impediment Dinosaur dynasty doomed to irrelevance

Stumbling Blind
there are four stages of healing wounds 1. your red blood cells will form a blood clot to stop the bleeding; then your wound would be swollen 2. white blood cells capture and fight rogue bacteria 3. fibroblast cells would enter, drop collagen and form connective tissues again 4. your skin will connect and contract and be out much stronger than before but among all wounds, a broken heart is the hardest to heal 1. your heart will not be swollen, it would be numb, and there will be days when you don't even know if you still have it. it would be a black hole for quite some time, it will **** anything and everything you used to love and leave you with nothing 2. you won't have the capability to fight rogue bacteria if anything you may actually succumb yourself with it; sometimes you may even let it control you until you forget that you own yourself 3. and then when it hits you, you will feel everything again all at once - the pain of lost love, melancholy, longing. you will realize how much you have loved and how much you have lost. now what you do is you bounce back, but how? 4. at this stage you must already be stronger than what you used to be, but for broken hearts, this may take a while, or it may take bottles and a lot more bottles of alcohol, or it may need a quiet moment for you to think straight, some just let time heal it. but the good thing is, healing a broken heart is actually a choice. yet unlike all other wounds, it can be fixed in two ways 1. you seek for someone who can hold your hand while you fix yourself 2. you fix yourself alone you chose the first one, I'm choosing number two
