"consciously" poems
Subconsciously, I replaced your emotions With emoticons Your eyes With profile pictures Your voice With fonts Falling into this technological abyss How could I be so stupid Thinking whatsapp Could compensate For your aura. And now consciously I suffer...

The distant hollow of the high mountain pass swallows the setting sun as it steals away southbound behind the coastal mountain's tangerine sunset hued silhouettes Mulberry plashed shadows pointing northward across the evergreens outstretched dimming, beneath the waning fade of each fleeting eventide Sundown ebbing asunder the wafting daylight, each gloaming of the day, helplessly a moment sooner past, transfixed further south beyond yesterday's passing azure The lazy days of summer escape unbounded, nomadic as the sea I've seen sail away before; evanescent as the beauty of the bloom summer days beheld and the memory of the fragrance they exhale The nebulous weight of the gravity is consciously denied by the truths a human heart beholds A moment’s epiphany afflicts like a rogue wave in a calm sea; the only thing my heart ever wanted remains out of reach Everything my heart needs consciously surrendering to the poignant passing moment's beauty, the falling sun at distance sets more suddenly now Lost in the undeniable certainty life's imminent season's change Eyes drawn stubbornly from presence to a sky so far away, knowing there'll be no restitution for the welling sense of loss... A bitter sweet song mummers in the silence of the absorbing spell, summer's sun stained pages of watermarked soul scribbles, time tattooed reparation for the indelible ache of a harsh grey winter loneliness Perhaps too familiar, this whelming Déjà vu that tears my soul;     that tugs at these roots but cannot sever their sacred grasp But for now, eyes fixed to the sun's inevitable tightening tether hence — to wear weary each fraying thread's  impending break Each sunset leans a deeper angle southward as it slips down through the firwood shadows; illuminating other faraway latitudes far beyond the distant horizon skies The preordained continuum unfolding what will be ... someone you used to know ...

Each Sunset Leans Farther Southward
The distant hollow of the high mountain pass swallows the setting sun as it steals away southbound behind the coastal mountain's tangerine sunset hued silhouettes Mulberry plashed shadows pointing northward across the evergreens outstretched dimming, beneath the waning fade of each fleeting eventide Sundown ebbing asunder the wafting daylight, each gloaming of the day, helplessly a moment sooner past, transfixed further south beyond yesterday's passing azure The lazy days of summer escape unbounded, nomadic as the sea I've seen sail away before; evanescent as the beauty of the bloom summer days beheld and the memory of the fragrance they exhale The nebulous weight of the gravity is consciously denied by the truths a human heart beholds A moment’s epiphany afflicts like a rogue wave in a calm sea; the only thing my heart ever wanted remains out of reach Everything my heart needs consciously surrendering to the poignant passing moment's beauty, the falling sun at distance sets more suddenly now Lost in the undeniable certainty life's imminent season's change Eyes drawn stubbornly from presence to a sky so far away, knowing there'll be no restitution for the welling sense of loss...

Getting ready to play a video game in a nice, not-actually-dusty-but- has-the-comfort-of-dustiness-like Bookstore. Maybe. "Townhall free wifi." That's just great. I mostly just cry and complain and wonder why dolphins are so optimistic as to not just off themselves, since they can consciously do so. Free wifi though. I mean, that's just cool.

"Free **** is Just the Bee's Knees."
*consciously, willfully, I wish it quietly the Sunday, the sun day, drifts toward, in its natural game, set, overmatched, the foregone conclusion, nightfall diminishment the water songfully swishes, as the tide departs for places unknown, this then, now the only natural authorized aural apparition, the power boats renounce their normal noisy conditioning, honoring their silenced, under-sail brethren, as well as admitting their noises disfigure the fast approaching majesty of the end of our summer seasoning of humanity consciously, willfully, I wish it once again, lush is the quietude,^ now given up, surrendered and surceased to wonder, how come I to write of these moments so oft, thenever-ending quest to re-inscribe it on my sensibilities, in vainglorious hopes that this stamping will last, be the last, see me through the turgid frigidity of my Lucifer life, come the fall, the winter, the early dark, the daylight's brevity, the hurricane season of the mind, that...need I say more? consciously, willfully, I wish it the particular white cloud formation of the moment at hand, shall stay in place,  be the capstone of my summer living vision, become permanent part and parcel of the sclera, the white of my eyes, and when I will write, soon enough, my vision white weeping clouded, you will weep knowingly, sympathetically consciously, willfully, I wish for that as well* 8/27/17 6:35pm

GENERATION EQUALITY It is equality when you work with her. It is equality when she leads the team. It is equality to see her, think her and call her the boss. It is equality when she promotes her accomplishments. It is equality to pay her the same as him for the same job. It is for sure equality when you give her credit for that brilliant idea. It is totally equality to admit she is more competent so she gets the job. It is equality when she has an opinion and is confident to make it known. It is equality when deciding for herself is norm. It is equality when bias and stereotypes no longer define her. It is equality when her achievements are no longer firsts. It is equality when she is well represented in critical areas of concern. It is definitely equality to treat her with respect and dignity. It is absolutely equality to fight alongside her for peace and justice. It is real equality to be her allie, support her future openly. It is surely equality for her to reclaim and take up spaces. Not just a woman, not just a girl, not just because she is your mother or wife, Not just as your sister or your aunty, not just because she is your daughter, But as the very evident, clear as day Human that she is in this generation and Generations more to come. An integral part of a collective whole, we all need to better uphold. Each one responsible, Each one acting consciously, Each one shaping up, A generation for equality. Belema .S.

. How do we mend wavering pedestals... When the ground beneath is parched dry. Stemming off loose foundations that time had weathered wry. How do we mend broken gazes... When watchful eyes which were meant to see, are blinded by the onslaught of half-truths and fallacy. How do we mend burnt bridges... When we never look back to trace heavy missteps. We fail to admit to consciously springing obvious traps. How do I mend ailing hearts... When familiar corridors seem warped to a bend. When my own is struggling and perpetually on the mend.

On the Mend
Since age 5 I was taught to wear loose clothing and not talk about eating. "No, you can't have that shirt with the Hershey's logo across the front. You're already overweight, let's just slap a label on it." My mother doesn't know that every day I still hear her voice telling me to tilt my head up in pictures and to go outside already. I remember age 9 as my dad telling me I was smart and my mom telling me I couldn't buy that shirt because it clung to my stomach. I was taught to never talk about food because it would always be met with "of course". Mother dearest, I know you meant well but your coaching lead your little girl to value the size of her thighs over what she learned at school today. You wanted to protect me from the world, but didn't protect me from myself. Teaching is not telling me that I had no willpower at age 8 and you forced me to accept myself because nobody else would. But trust me, mother, you were never consciously hurtful so I need to let you know: the next time there is a little girl that looks up to you, do not tell her that she has to watch what she eats or she will never get respect. Do not tell her that "It's your body," when she asks for just one more brownie. Just make sure that you love her numerically more than that number on the scale.

* The fume A thick dark fumy cloud Dormant it lies, but often loud Precariously overhead, it flowed The sunshine of the life, it swallowed It rained, challenged by the mighty peak In the heart, It pained, to see it weak The cloud was small but heavy However dusty and floaty. The doom and gloom Embracing in its shadow In desert, plains and meadow Eclipsing the days, sunny bright Dreadful, with the darkening night With me, always  hanging around When noticed, nearby it's found Haunting me with a sadness Flaunting its darkness A lot in the cloud explored Then consciously, It was ignored But dancing at the back of the mind Past  hurts and  pains, it  put to rewind The boom and bloom And then, letting it flow across, I got immersed, In fine tiny droplets, the cloud dispersed, Now each droplet addressed separately Was dried in the shiny sun completely All of the cloud, dripped to evaporate Condensed eventually, as distillate My pains, by that elixir, cured, Alchemised me into 24 carat gold *

☮ ☮ ☮ **Society needs more Social Justice. Humanity needs peaceworkers.** Peace and Social Justice must be promoted aggressively. There are inequities that must be addressed. Power is not equally distributed. Neither are resources or wealth. Neither are poetic gifts or vision equitably distributed. Unearned privilege is rampant. Poetry must confront this global crisis of capitalist exploitation and manipulation. Poetry must speak to the masses. Poetry must radicalize and inform consciousness to new levels of social change. Marginalized citizens must be empowered. All ****** gender-based, racial, religious, age-based, homophobic, xenophobic, and gynophobic bigots must be brought to see in a new way through our poetry. Community building and local empowerment are of the order. Our poetry must be global in scope – yet rooted and grounded in local community empowerment. Selfless acts of service to promote and increase Social Justice are needed. Lives selflessly devoted to establishing social justice are called for. Our poetic lives must be laid on the altar of the dis-enfranchised and unrepresented. We, as consciously aware poets, must advocate and speak out for those who have no voice. We, as poets, must, through stirring words of Social Justice, embody through our radical verses the burning hope of a just and sustainable future. This future must become increasingly collective as formerly marginalized consumers become empowered community-builders  –  through our poetry. As poets of the sustainable future we will empower and inform. Our poetry must collectivize, entitle and enslave. We must speak with ONE VOICE: the voice of change and social justice. Our words will rise with healing in their wings and lift whole communities from despair to radicalized self-awareness in communities filled with strident, intolerant and maniacal practitioners of PEACE & SOCIAL JUSTICE. All poets who do not lay their entire creative and lyrical selves on the altar of struggle to bring CHANGE and SOCIAL JUSTICE will be LIQUIDATED by our own EMPOWERED POETRY. IN THE END WE WILL WRITE A PURE POETRY OF SOCIAL CHANGE, ALL IN CAPS, AND THIS POETRY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT WILL BE READ OVER THE GRAVES OF ALL SELL-OUT, CORPORATE, FASCIST, SNITCHING, SELFISH, UNEMPOWERED AND UNEMPOWERING TRAITORS AND ENEMIES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE.  IN THE END THERE WILL BE NO PUNCTUATION OR EVEN WORDS ONLY PURE IMAGES OF CHANGE + VISIONARY COLLABORATION IN SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION/MAYBE SLASH MARKS/OKAY MAYBE EXCLAMATION POINTS TOO BUT ONLY THOSE ! WHY? BECAUSE THE ONLY GOOD POET IS A LIVING POET WHO HAS LIQUIDATED EVERY FALSE POET NOT COMMITTED TO THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE ! LONG LIVE POETRY IN ACTION THROUGH CHANGE! WRITE/SPEAK/AGITATE FOR  SOCIAL JUSTICE  & EMPOWERMENT ! **POETRY IS STRUGGLE☻ STRUGGLE IS CHANGE☻ CHANGE REQUIRES SOCIAL JUSTICE☻ SOCIAL JUSTICE BRINGS PEACE☻ PEACE BRINGS WAR☻ WAR BRINGS CONFUSION & DEATH☻** (SO DON’T BE CONFUSED)

You know you are a parasite But I will let you feed off of me Sometimes I desire the poison And a little dose is healthy now and then Because what I have is also yours And I live for you, I eat for you, I survive for you Your primary host They say you will destroy me from the inside out But I lured you in, I consciously made you part of me You did not come uninvited, and that is the point You came willingly So I feed myself you as you nourish yourself through me A symbiotic relationship For I do not go where I am not wanted Through good and bad times we (d)evolve together A true matrimony Now forever covalently bonded

I got inducted into a PhD program. I am very happy now. Loving my days as they shine, Over the edge I pushed sorrow, Viewing my love grow mature, Enjoying the achievements I am. Putting consciously the efforts, Onto hers and my own life too, Over the hours of togetherness, Jovially invested time & loyalty, Actuating each other to do the best.

And when you give Give like the widow would Quietly and thoughtfully Wholeheartedly and consciously Like you know the value of costly The value of giving til you laughingly Really hurt in your fund for a holiday. And when you give Keep your other hand wondering If it's sufficiently Not knowing if it was slight of handedly Or open handedly So you're tempted into giving more Than you intended previously. And when you give Give hilariously Generously Be gutsy til angels agree On the degree To which you plunge The depths of your karki jeans And if in doubt Just focus on the tree And the costly sacrifice He willingly made For you and me. Give like the widow would - Like it's just between you and God And then you'll be free.

And when you give (remix)
Dreaming is good. But dreaming is bad, because it hurts. Dreams die. You grow up thinking you are invicible, forever amazing. You grow up realizing it does not work that way. You grow up to realize the people around you want you to be safe. Life isn’t about being daring anymore. Life is about having a safe future. Pick a safe job. Live your life. Enjoy it when you can. But the fireceness of life leaves you. Adults burn the fire in you. Cold water on your dreams, wash them all away. Adults throw you in the wilderness to make you realize. Realize life is not a game anymore. Adults burn the fire in you. They feed your insecurities. Cultivate your fears. Then feed them back to you. They’re scared. They don’t want you to face a wall of disappointements. But they won’t let your try, either. Adults burn the fire in you. Not consciously. Slowly. Mysteriously. And suddenly you, with all your dreams in your heart, face doubt. Doubt. The worst feeling. Worst than love. Worst than hate. Doubt. Sinuously cracking your hopes and dreams. Doubt, creeping in your mind, burning bridges. Doubt, expanding every time you hesistate. Doubt, forever in your head. Doubt burned my dreams to ashes. Doubt washed them all away.

Doubt
Maybe someday we could have a picnic together. Sunlight always makes your eyes shimmer like public swimming pools with a little too much chlorine, and I’d love to see you dance nervously when you discover a line of ants marching up your leg. I’d like to kiss you with the taste of potato salad fresh on your lips with a twist of lukewarm lemonade; you’d probably push me away self consciously, but the fact of the matter is that your mouth would excite me even after eating ten pounds of garlic. The red checkered blanket would bring out the creamy tones in your skin and I’d soon find myself devouring your beauty rather than the pre-made peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Your voice and its stories are sweeter than any strawberries I’ve ever tasted, anyhow. I could plan our lunches together for the rest of our lives, but you’re not the kind of girl to settle down for a lunch with someone like me, let alone for a lifetime. So for some inexplicable reason I imagine myself at your door, wicker basket in hand, with no answer. As it would seem, picnics aren’t really your scene. And neither am I.

Picnic
My eyes bleed with exhaustion. My thoughts are fuzzy like my brain is stuffed with styrofoam. My body sinks into the ugly carpet floor of my basement. My mouth tastes sour with the flavor of an unslept soul. I lie here writing instead of sleeping because it feels like the only thing I can do well, consciously. My back aches with an elders pain at late seventeen. I crave the warm embrace of my bed but am too stuck like sap to move. I'm rambling here in my brain instead of resting my frigid existence. My thoughts are slow and choppy now with the hesitation of drifty words. My rusted, chipping ears hear nothing but silence and a distant coo-coo clock. The chirps of a bird only found in my dark, dusty insanity. The world weighs upon children such as these in a universe such as this. I'm just, tired. Tired... ~S.C. Kelley

Don’t be fooled regarding one’s tongue, for it has the power of life and death. Before doubting these words of wisdom, now pay attention and catch your breath… before any more idle words touch the ground. We are accountable for everything we say; Therefore, remember to think before speaking, since our reckonings will come on Judgment Day. Consciously refrain from speaking evil curses, knowing that God’s presence surrounds each soul. Undisciplined tongues unwittingly spew their venom and cause unseen damage with poisonous control. A perverse tongue easily breaks the human spirit and keeps evil, generational curses flowing. Plentiful sins roll off the tongue in the forms of: Gossiping, Tattle-telling, Slander, Lying and Boasting. Instead, give praise concerning the good things of God; speak life into situations, since healing can be attained. the reliability of The Word can be assured, for… its promises insure that ours lives can be sustained. Author Notes: Loosely based on: Prov 18:21; 1 Cor 4:20; Deu 32:47; 2 Pet 2:3; 1 Sam 3:19; Psa 12:6 Lev 19:16; Mark 4:14; Prov 15:4, 21:23; Jam 3:1-18; 2 Cor 5:10 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/ By Joseph J.

Poem: Power of the Tongue
Nostalgia that I feel as though I subconsciously long for is a clangorous boom inside my head Consciously I don't want the past, never ever again Somebody told me to "Help myself While others are helping too" This opened my eyes As realization dawned on me: I can ask for help But not give myself any In return I can help others But leave myself Helpless When I'm feeling alone I've seen that it is important To learn and love yourself Because in the end You'll be the only one Lifelong trip Longing for spirituality Sense of self as well You embark as soon As you breathe

Oxymoron nostalgia
You lied about my sweet weight, And you lied about my arches, You lied about your love for the depressions in my skin, You faked that sincerity Of course you lied, because how else Could you make love to my demise? You lied about your moon and my tides, But you tread upon on my land, Cheer as my salt beats my rocks into sand, I never flinched at your hand, I never quaked at your voice, But I should’ve, I would’ve if I had known that you would run my rivers dry, That you would lick your lips and sigh You’re sick in that the only thing I hold dear, You craved to hunt. You rip into the throat of my wild and reckless stag, Watch it bleed as it cranes to see by whose hand it falls,   As it breathes its last breath it catches sight of your thumb, It knows, but consciously it forgets, because It is with this abandon that I die for you daily, And you **** me anyway. I should’ve quaked at your voice, Hearkened to the screaming that ripped away my choice, You never loved my mountains, fountains of lies I threw back and back, You lied about my ocean that you don’t care to explore, It was critical and fatal, You lied about my sweet weight and that I cannot forgive.

My Sweet Weight and My Demise
It is quiet, secret seconds seeking distractions from overthinking, and reacting. Obsessive behavior becomes redundant checking, and occasionally checking again unnecessarily. It is observing emotional signals and decoding them to the best of one’s ability, consciously, and unconsciously. Till, their anxiety, anger, and sadness is distorted and reflected in your feelings. It is only alleviated in engaging with informative and educational information, fitness and exercise, entertainment, or sleeping.
