"consequentially" poems
i hear your waltz, dear bird. the soliloquy, the melodies that pull at the strings holding what’s left of my heart evermore. i listen, to the shuffle of your ruffled feathers, your light feet dance to the creak of hardwood. a sonical prison. as this intrepid cell guard is fueled by my schizophrenia, and van gogh like delusions. none of grandeur. so here are my ears, one sliced from reality, the other searching for its vibrations. each majestic, and just as much consequentially miserable, piano strike marks a new set of steps for you. and although i no longer feel, nor see, i still hear exactly how you carry yourself. and from that i draw insane conclusions. from there, upon just listening, i can imagine what your ****** expressions are like, and from your laugh as you dwindle around this penitentiary like a loose branch amongst gusts of wind i can tell you’re free. free to fly. free to feast. free to find a new mate. free to watch the world burn from a bird's eye view. just as we used to do. free at last, most importantly from us, more specifically from me. and although i no longer feel, nor see. i still hear exactly how happy you are. and that isn’t the most heart shattering aspect of our ordeal, or should i say, my ordeal, to live with, alone. because the part that really allows me to carefully and diligently pluck single strands of hair from my head as if i could somehow string out the memory of you out from my infinite depths, is the fact that i can hear, clear as day, another bird’s chirp, another bird’s laugh, another set of feet, on this waltz you’re on. and when i say heart shattering, i hope you hear it break, as the sounds of it reverbs across this room’s vast loneliness. oh, where are my van gohg like delusions now? i’ll continue my search, since now i fully know that you’re just gone. with the wind. fly, my dear. and leave me, here. to die amongst your waltz. -melancholicreator

a bird's waltz

Like Newton noted, You fell from a tree Unknowing to mankind that the cannon consequentially altered the history of man The first fuse ignited, Alchemy attempted a potion of eternal life We met in the middle of where the munitions fell short Man could **** with this, I traversed from east to west Fireworks were what we saw when it was lit A second shot to the unknown dark sky, we held hands as our experiment rose high we thought it failed, until the rainbow blossomed basking in this majesty, we felt so alive the third explosion we controlled, a vehicle to explore the unknown, it was done smart, Oblong orbits, long been entangled reduced to a formula of dancing bodies the future was now and like a rocket our hearts tested the furthest reaches that man had walked but it has been years; we tested the infinite black sea In a moment of clarity, as the propellant exploded I held onto you and you tethered me with little oxygen in the air, I gave you what I couldn’t share Like weighing scales, balanced fragile a much regretted fall

Your Love Is Like Gravity
As the helicopter chopped the air I sat there unaffected, at the table I elected to carve the roast giving myself the most of it and putting aside a bit for 'Bob', old now and not a remnant of the dog he used to be The helicopter bothered me it flies in each day before our dinner or our tea and sits there in a field beside the house quite elegantly but what's it for? the pilot never gets out,never comes to knock on the door and I wonder what he's waiting for. I think he may be wanting me to take a ride across the sea and consequentially I am afraid that one evening when tea or dinner's made there will not be a place set for me. And in the tower blocks of regret up on the twenty seventh floor,I'll find out what he's waiting for. I want the elevator to hesitate somewhere between floors two and three Not willing yet or able to see the future that is waiting for me up on the twenty seventh floor. I know what he's waiting for but I'm not ready yet to face my future or regret and in these moments when I let my fears arise I sometimes cry,my eyes are red I butter bread and eat my roast and whether or not I got the most is not the purpose of this meal the real meal is sat in the field,the helicopter will not yield its secrets until I take that trip until I slip the harness accept my lot which is always less than what I want but never need and on the twenty seventh floor, I'll find that one door that remains locked shut until I put myself in place before the mirror that shows the face of who I am. After dinner is done,a slice of bread and jam to calm the nerves and soothe my fevered brow. I don't know when or how or if I should even try to escape from that which would make me fly into that which I would hope not to see but the helicopter waits and I know it waits for me.

In the month that I popped a pharmaceutical drug to feel better, I smiled for the first time in months at a lame joke, I stopped worrying about where I was going to be if the zombie apocalypse was to happen, I ceased feeling terrified of waking up to the voice of Joey Ramone to not want to be or feel anymore, I wondered how Hemingway felt as he stared at the glittering city lights of the Rive Gauche, typing down his dark thoughts, I walked to the blinking white silhouette of a tiny person across the street, without hoping that the cars would magically skewer to the side and consequentially crush my skull in, I felt my heart enlarging like a balloon, while I stared into his magnetic eyes, that remind me of the glistening candlelit lights of Paris after the war, I craved the chocolate ice cream my imaginary little brother bought me while annoying me, I listened to the world and heard it's rambles and jangles and knew that "every little thing is gonna be alright", and I watch myself in the mirror to realize that I this person staring back at me is a shell enveloping in the shock at my utter disbelief that I don't know who I am anymore. Perhaps somewhere out there, in a parallel universe, wherein lies reality or fantasy, I have already given up and is watching me here to mock me.

there's probably something far deeper at work here something quite important and worth delving into to be explored more thoroughly consequentially consciously instead i'll probably just end up thinking about that shoelace in my boot the one that still needs to be replaced ragged and frayed as it is and i'll wonder how long i can ignore it before it finally snaps and i'm left with no choice anymore

the quandary of shoelaces
I walked, my feet on air and purposeful the outlook, heavy rain, and I'd been misunderstood tears stained my cheeks, I couldn't stop the flow all seemed lost in argument, I didn't want to go. So I walk, my mind buzzing with words unspoken ringing in my ears, promises I thought were broken everything unclear and totally confused finding a solution, as my temper fumed. Treading steps in darkness, not knowing where to go fusing words together, and piecing what I know a future ****** by actions in a fit of peak searching through the remnants left me feeling weak. I turned, and started walking back feeling much calmer after searching through the facts loving someone else much more than yourself can be consequentially detrimental to your health. My walk, the air cleared away the pain my subsiding temper had dried up all the rain losing what we'd worked for was a heavy price to pay my therapeutic walk was designed to find my way. I walked, my feet on air and purposeful seeing much more clearly now, we both misunderstood dried my tears realised that both of us were wrong my footsteps quickened, as I knew where I belonged.

I Walked......
I swear, Gnat had two moods, crazy and angry, one time she punched me in the face, and I smacked her, and smacked her again until we were spooning on the couch and she cried as a lavaflow of tears fell on my wrists. But then she had this mood where she'd clutch me, through my ribs to my heart, and we'd love each other so hurtfully that I'd die every time she touched me. She grabbed my heart so viciously, and consequentially, that I just wanted to die in her fingertips.

For a relic of honor my onward progression and patience has to once again, gear up for its most lengthy and wearisome, waking battle Out beyond the center light of diving snow And spiraling wind Where shade sustains itself with duplicated shadows around the lake of envy Under the hood of the forest that stretches under serene pinholes of sprinkled radiance Is a rehab for hollow reaches of emptying brittle skin and perpetual bubbling Inviting fruits along with blackening kindling and timber reduce to ashes returning the cycle A cure of open arms that create parallel warmth the genesis of what makes fruit so inviting If tomorrow opened path for that first step to be taken Winds would blow so hard: the hood of shade would push right passed the forest splitting cracks multi directional into the pinhole for sunbeams Allowing all collected snow to flood over the lake Soaking all the wood Causing any potential burning to be blackened derailed by a dense heap of soggy innards Consequentially taking away any chance of warmth The initial make of comfort that raise up her open arms

My Onward Progression
Ex nihilo: you, refusing to apologize I wonder if the world that your eyes violate and consume withers painted in the colorless color that comes from mixing all colors your color. I have painted my room with you and now it is nothing, no nothing at all I yawn and I tremble Consequentially; therefore; thus; and so; - as a result the cracked walls speak of (but do not explain) Sundays thorned, tragic, unyielding; sighs of futility writ large You, on a Sunday painting the world in your color

How well ******* up is life and the things in it? I can't believe the love of my life and soul stares at me across a field, A busy street, a party, at church and I can't go there. Right there where they are ,without the rue of situations past that, have consequentially, rendered something so beautiful and as pure as it it's tainted; passionate as it is deep as a mute and incomprehensible ineligibility. I could have had the grand kind the kind to end all kinds. Instead, I settled with an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my gut, that I wasn't worth waiting for. The stars were so cruel. As with all things that glitter, twinkle or shine like your eyes,they seer souls and play favourites. Not that I didn't do well. I did very well, I didn't do deep. Like the kind of deep that travels between our eyes, the kind of heart reverberation that goes beyond soul. I did very well. I am loved and I love; but, there is that chasm sometimes just a shoulder brush away. Always a millimetre times a billion eons away, so close no matter how far, So far no matter how close, all the miracles in the world can't solve it. The devils got his last laugh, and I my last hope. This afterlife better hold its promise, I don't want to face another endless age without you. Its ****** up. Still, it's perfect in all it's fucked-upness. It has lasted this mortal realm far longer than most could ever fathom, and I am perfectly content in it as long as the deep still passes through our eyes across a field, at church, a party or across the street.

*The best decision I'd ever made By far, Loving you is The pain that I know for sure will fade I am ready to kiss Until you're consequentially ready I am willing to wait To have each other for eternity I'm hoping for our fate, No trace of distress I surely knew As we walk through the night Having no other reason but you I always come home blithe*

The Other Way
How oft         are thoughts         (of mine) of you? I confess,          once with every breath          but twice for every whisper Your image fills my head           consequentially, my days.           All eyes are yours. I want every path to be paved in cobblestone in hopes that i will find your bare feet there. When my thoughts stray it is to you and where i will stray (with you) Once sleep comes I know I dream (of you) and you are with me when you aren't near me.

All my life I've searched for love- It is only in the recent years I have ceased searching and continued working on myself that I have had many opportunities surpass me by. I am not a slave to the love I give nor am I slave to the love that is given. I will not succumb to a perpetuating misogynistic fool that only wants me because I want what he thinks is real I am not a follower of faith, nor a lover or guided by "Gods" misguided ways You may be offended by this statement but please remember we are all individuals and different. Practicing spirituality in several different ways. Each of us with our own opinions Never forgetting the rhythm of our heart beats No opinion nor religion can surmount the fact that consequentially- we are HUMAN. © 2014 Christina Jackson
