"conspiring" poems
In Nero’s private stage, Disaster was His audience. Rome mimics fallen Troy in play. What was reflected in Nero’s eyes when he sang of the swirling patterns of fire? When Rome was caught burning; When conspiring led to its fall. Fire engulfed Rome with fiery teeth. The clouds hide or faint into black smoke. The skies bleed heavily with rust Its brassy color mixing with the *** of burning seas, like oceans melting Could you not feel the sun’s weight? Now it is incomparable to Molten seas and softened lead! Blood spilt from sea-point, waves wallow the cries Of the fallen. Like a bellowing sound marching Against caverns of ears, Copper soldiers Melt into clouds oozing with emotion, Shattering their now empty metal hearts, Hollow hearts that outlive the muteness. It is awakened when Spark and light is absent. (Paolo Jerome D. Cristobal / June 26, 2009 - Alabang)

In Neros private stage
There are traitors in the castle Hypocrites and liars Spreading rumors, keeping secrets Lighting silent fires Pacing in the bedrooms Quiet in the halls Sneaking after midnight Conspiring behind walls Pretending to be royalty Called themselves "king and queen" Throwing out words like garbage Not saying what they mean Not taking time to think Just playing a silly game Betraying flesh and blood not feeling any shame Full of carelessness and greediness But acting so sincere Watching with fake smiles and laughter Ignoring every tear Throwing "traitors" in the dungeon While deceiving on the thrown Punishing those "committing crimes" Not looking at their own There were traitors in the castle Hypocrites and liars Bargaining with enemies Igniting silent fires Now there is no castle No whispers in the halls Nothing hiding behind doors All that's standing are the walls

The Castle
I rise impalpable from poked and scattered ash. Memories from the 20 years I lived leave a crimson rash on my skin once as white as snow. the skin they began to scar when I was 11, too young to know that they were not just scars. they were the marks on the bark of a green, tender tree- marks of men (or brutes?)- wild and untamed. there was nothing left of innocence, nothing left of rainbows. I did not have my days to play- instead I was being played with. I, a delicate ***** white, stripped and whipped and sold. a love-bit nape, blackened sight, named the girl of gold. but no more, no more. I have risen from the depth with my soft body rugged and sour breath and teeth marks on my collarbone- like it was only yesterday. men and their laughs- tormenting and know-all, conspiring my fall. Now that I'm awake, risen from my grave- (they were kind to give me one) I shall give them back the scars they etched upon my heart, I shall give them back the pain. the little purple bruises. I shall torture them quite insane and they would die, they would eventually die with regrets- regrets not confessed. I would return to my grave and smile, maybe laugh the manly laugh- tormenting and know-all, I would be their fall.

DAME RANCOR.
Dancing rainbows heckle the sun. Jealous that everything orbits the star. Grateful that the Sól of the universe contributes to their existence but they curse in silence... Appearing unannounced and bringing smiles on rainy days by ironically displaying multicoloured frowns. Holding grudges over sunsets. Plotting against sunrise, Conspiring with the night. Unsatisfied with it's mere moments of glory. Still whispering silent thank you's Bipolar rainbows.

Bipolar rainbows
the bane of my existence here now is all of the incessant noise.   the city encroaches ever outward, gobbling up the suburbs like the great big Blob contributing layer after layer of noise.   a new metro line opened last year disheartened the morning realized it was the trains i heard as my puppy and i walked so early.   trash trucks, back up beeping noises, leaf blowers, mowers and trimmers ... all conspiring to drive me mad. the birds and owls, snakes and deer, hawks and rabbits toads and trees and flowers, puppies all other creatures divine, tempering this man-made chaos this man-made hell keeping me hopeful that i will have some respite    some respite from this hideous cacophony, this man-made hell, in the future, not too distant. of course there are some benefits from all the city life but i prefer the silence the solitude of nature. the Taoist recluses who speak to me, whose poems paintings writings and silence are balm to my soul.   some day soon, i too shall join the recluses far away far far away in the mountains. but for now, i am only a modern day taoist recluse stuck in suburbia, doing my best, living in this noisy hell.

Modern Suburban Hell
Behold the One with the Aries, the Ward of Santa Muerte Our 16th President voted by 16 million Filipinos this 2016 The 1st President from Mindanao from being Mayor of Davao…Duterte! He is One with MiJoRdGr (Miriam, Jojo, Rody, Grace) The 4 Opposition Presidentiables who defeated Mar Roxas And brought Liberal Party its great disgrace! The One with the Aries from the Land with War The Land of Promise – feared by typhoons, but filled with goons So from her came a Liberator among MiJoRdGr! That this One should war with our nation’s greatest horrors -Drug Lords, Liberals, Treasoners, Criminals & Terrorists- These powerful entities to our history are desecrators! So by being one with lawmakers, law enforcers & lawful people By the overwhelming power of the Supermajority Our country’s greatest terrors…Du30 shall conquer them all! But first, he must defeat his detractors – Leila, Leni & Trillanes These triple crooks who want to topple the government Are also said to be conspiring with EU, UN & US! Yet with Trump’s triumph, US is no longer an enemy Our American hatred weakened, our Chinese friendship strengthened As it established great friendship with Pres. Du30! Do not emulate the girl power of those Liberal crooks We got an Olympic medalist Heidilyn & Ms. International 2016 But Leila & Leni?...Can only ruin our country…like blasted nukes! Do not worry for we have Pacquiao as still winner & role model Alongwith Gen. Bato, a victim of yellow washing machine But these Pro-Du30 men…to criminals tough, to innocents gentle! May God allow this True Change to take place with continuity Let Pres. Duterte lead us for many more years to come For the Supermajority, for you & me… for our country! -12/30/2016 (Dumarao) *Our Golden Times During PDu30

I miss my mother most when I'm in her frenetic company. Such an angry fragile woman in the shadow of the mum she used to be. Lost and alone, wanting a way home, one woman against the world with no old friends only fresh new foes. She can identify every shifting lie sitting scared with no escape from a hundred shifty eyes. Stalkers criticise every mistake watching her practice looping moves cornering her as if to prove that we're all conspiring each trying to rob her when the screaming truth here is that her fleeting thoughts have already gone where we can never walk not even in our tears.

Missing mum
My mother tongue got cut off I’ve been bleeding in my mouth ever since But I learned to cope with the pain Because no one with my mothers tongue has been able to Show me how to grow it back. Hair grows back easily though. It keeps my head warm So my thoughts can sit comfortably While trying to process what the **** everyone’s saying, Without burdening the translator who just wants to listen. I try but can’t listen or speak It turns into a silent loud noise This language barrier pulls my hair My thoughts release with no refuge It’s cold out here I try and tell them But no one can hear me. So I try to improvise and improvise I wana say I love you. I’ll try and show you how. I can’t verbalize my humor It makes me cry. Now they wont get to know me as deeply As I dig for them and they dig for me. Then they ask me how could you not learn your language As if I hate it I ask them do you know my story I did not choose this. It’s not their fault It’s not my fault Idk what was conspiring against me or with me To make this happen. So as I try and learn to grow back my mothers tongue I pray that this is a gift And its curse like symptoms is only a mask I pray this is a gift And its curse like symptoms is only a mask I pray this is a gift And its curse like symptoms is only a mask Amen

My Mother Tongue Got Cut Off
The light of evening, Lissadell, Great windows open to the south, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. But a raving autumn shears Blossom from the summer's wreath; The older is condemned to death, Pardoned, drags out lonely years Conspiring among the ignorant. I know not what the younger dreams-- Some vague Utopia--and she seems, When withered old and skeleton-gaunt, An image of such politics. Many a time I think to seek One or the other out and speak Of that old Georgian mansion, mix pictures of the mind, recall That table and the talk of youth, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. Dear shadows, now you know it all, All the folly of a fight With a common wrong or right. The innocent and the beautiful. Have no enemy but time; Arise and bid me strike a match And strike another till time catch; Should the conflagration climb, Run till all the sages know. We the great gazebo built, They convicted us of guilt; Bid me strike a match and blow.

In Memory Of Eva Gore-Booth And Con Markiewicz
Tired, I awoke upon a lonely island beach And gazed on a Goddess above the shore, With sea foam hair, coral skin, what dream, My salt eyes, blinded, open, wanting more, Conspiring with rays of summer she shone So bright, this daughter of the sun, we stood I and my castaway crew, to that siren prone As she led us to her mansion in the woods. Her potions tamed the forest wolf and lion, Spellbinding warrior poets to liven feasts. Why then must she turn ***** men to swine, By what she most desired contented least? Desert falcon, my moly held Pharaohs' breeze And what nil escape above the wine dark seas.

Circe ( sonnet )
Amongst the millions of galaxies maybe you and I were meant to be. I don't write very often but you make me want to write thousands of poems just to describe what you do to me. You make me the happiest in this moment, the ocean between us can't stop that. When reality calls me back, I know you will hold me in your arms. You are the moon to the sea, always pulling me towards you. The universe wanted us to meet like this, conspiring for us again and again I'd cross the ocean just to take your hand.

For you
Hi, my name is Chase and I live within your life. All I am is just a lie. I'll never sacrifice. Suicide is king and I'm the ******* queen. Don't wanna be a girl. Do you know what I mean? I never tell the truth. No, my fears get in the way. It's happened once before, but I guess I'll never change. Scars will start to cover me. Legs onto my wrist. Punching holes into your soul. Make contact with your fist. I am just so used to it, but god I want to stop. But boy if I told you the truth I'd lose you on the spot. Sometimes I just wanna die. Drown in my blood and tears. I say that I fear nothing, but you are my only fear. So, down I will go spiraling. I'll just keep on conspiring. I will never tell the truth. There is just too much to lose. Trapped in lies. Trapped in lies. I'm trapped inside. Throw the truth aside. Trapped in lies. I'll always hide. Cut myself wide open. Try to let it out. But the moment that I see you my head it fills with doubt. It could never work. I just cannot be me. I'm sorry to say boy you aren't the golden key. You're not the key to happiness for I do not believe. But still I have to smile. Make me fall down to my knees. I smile on the outside, but trapped inside I cry. I look like I live life, but my one hope is to die. Trapped in lies. Trapped in lies. I'm trapped inside. Throw the truth aside. Trapped in lies. I'll always hide. You look at me with love. I look at you with sorrow. This lie will never end. It still goes on tomorrow. It's a never ending nightmare. I wish it were a dream. Sick of my life cheating. Falling apart at the seams. I wish I'd never started. Now, it's too late to go back. The past is not the present, but my future looks too black. I know you want to make this work, but take a look at me. Everything you see isn't what it seems to be. I am just a lie. I am living through your life. So, baby please just end it. Yes, end my lies tonight. Trapped in lies. Trapped in lies. I'm trapped inside. Throw the truth aside. Trapped in lies. I'll always hide. I am just so tired. I want to stop the act. Don't know why I started. All I know is I lost track. I lost track of the time and all the memories. I don't even know who the **** I'm supposed to be. Got caught up in my lies. Don't know how to let go. Hardly even anybody really even knows. I hardly know myself. Now, isn't that sad? Cuz I hardly know you and it's driving me mad. And the anger inside turns me into a beast. Pulls me inside. Now, I'm a killing machine. This is the side of me I never let show. But is it the real me? He ******* hopes so. I guess I'll just keep lying to you and to myself. I guess I'll tell my lies to everybody else. Maybe one day I'll find the guts to change. But for now I'll keep lying. Keep you out of my range. Trapped in lies. Trapped in lies. I'm trapped inside. Throw the truth aside. Trapped in lies. I'll always hide.

Just one bat of her lashes, and every neuron in my brain was conspiring to steal her heart. So I became a thief. I become a lot of things in an instant, the way a chameleon changes colors. Her heart was reduced to a jewel, courting became a heist, and possession was just the *** afterwards. She was nothing more than a crime. A terrible thing that I committed.

Greener at crossroads
A desiccated brown leaf remembering greener days, summersaults stem over end into the exposed cold dirt softened somewhat in demeanor by the grass and radiant shafts The geese and ducks squawk and honk in the distance Congratulating each other for the day's richness and the way the sun feels on their proud beaks glinting off the water in its way a shimmering band A princely golden carpet forever unrolling and yet complete The sun's spindle weaves gems of light into a gossamer web laid glittering across the water A vision for Moses who saw the true path through the sea Fireworks Forever exploding sunlight Gifted to the eye on clear liquid canvas The wind ripples the waves wrinkles pushed along foaming in the sand Little Kisses on the grainy cheek Star Flashes Communicating ancient patterns Secrets of Existence Coming in Morse code, Fibonacci Sequencing, Sacred Geometry in Twinkling Motion Individual explosions blinking on a natural switchboard Telling the architectural answer Manifesting the blueprint to only every reason why The Last Leaf sings in the Breeze, swinging

Conspiring Swans Plot Amongst The Reeds with Jabbering Ducks Against The Geese
The past is gone, the present lives and what shall come to pass will be. Let not us dwell on what we lose, but, rather, seek the victory! It's never over till the end, We should strive with mind and might that we may obtain, with glory, faith conspiring with the right! When reason burns, and failure thrives, and all that 'round you spins is grief.... Be patient; Have a thankful heart and in despair, you'll find relief! Above all else, envision well with all your passion, strength, and zeal the future that you want to see, and what you see will become real!

Perseverance
You are looking for the kind of love that I cannot give. In fact, it is the kind of love that cannot be given by anybody else, But you. I know you think you've been through the seven circles of hell That everyday it seems like the entire universe is conspiring against you That as if the moment you step out of your home, the ground starts to crumble beneath your feet. But love, Do not be afraid. You were made to conquer the army of Palestines And climb atop the tower of Babel You were made to crush the walls of Jericho and part the waters of the red sea You are meant to be so much more than a pawn You are a king But a king knows the pain of becoming a servant For he himself is a servant of the people Do not forget that your strength comes from within you Not from the foul words of those who envy Or from the empty bullet cases of those who desire your failure Your inviolability comes from yourself Do not let anyone, ever, make you feel less of who you are You are a king You Are my king And all I wish for you is happiness beyond measure Joy that fills the deepest holes in your hollowed heart Courage that you may step out of your comfort zone and do amazing things And most of all Security You do not need words of validation from your peers You do not need claps and screams of praises from the crowd just to prove that you are worth something Do not change for anyone Not even for me You are worth more than a thousand diamonds or a million bricks of gold just because you are who you are I cannot tell you that it will all be good days Because I am sure that there will be days that feel like **** You will feel burdened with the weight of the world You will kneel at the guns of those who criticize your gifts You will doubt yourself And you will doubt me I am sure of that And there will be times when I would want to let go of your hand When I will scream at the absence of your attention When I will run away from the problems WE have to face But love, Know that I won't. I will run the race with you, and carry you if your feet start to fail I will sing to you when the music stops playing I will remind you every single day that You are loved When you smile You are loved When you fail an exam You are loved When you are betrayed by your friends You are loved When you are at your worst You are loved When you don't love me anymore You are loved And when the time comes when you want silence from my side I will willingly give it to you I will shut up I will close my eyes I will take the pain I will catch your punches I will receive your harsh words I will stand up I will walk away I will let go IF you want me to I will. You know what is best for you And I know what is best for me For now I just know That what is best for me Is you. On a last note, don't let anyone, ever Make you feel like you don't deserve what you want Thank you love For everything

The women conspiring She meant no pain Her life is shadowy She grew in beauty Naturally she put on a show Well noticable In depths where her gut meets her heart high voltage force, igniting She was privileged, leaving hell She could've freed the flocks in captivity She closed her eyelids Casual steps in vein A void, cutting her insides A wonderment why her point of view remains Pure apology exchanged Sight darkened when her eyes are opened Unexpected she prays How do I change All expectations she never needed Opinion unraveling, she pleaded "Where is forwards deliverance"

Mistakes hold individual spaces
Gauging the time on my ever ready Timepiece, I would be vacant without it Guessing the minutes that miss out As the second hand moves smoothly Locking onto with its demonstration powers How to mark time successfully, second by Second, a prelude to the minute minder Merging in with the big guns, the 'On The hour Brigade' of salutes and silences Schedules and deadlines. The.....gong The chime The clang The beep The moment to be woken from our sleep It's a curse at 'times' (excuse the pun) The engagements starting point and Finale. I wonder what time it is right now? Would we lose ourselves scurrying to find Our 'timepiece'. Do we pick up our redundancy In favour of technological time and motion? Even though the 'Wonder World' has not dreamt of.... And cannot conceivably equate.....powerful potent Possibilities of fake time in an unknown spatial Rhombus, conspiring recklessly to promote individual Unreality; time spinning out the hour, through The minutes, towards the last seconds..... of our unreal lives

Timepiece
Arrow upon arrow the stricken heart endured, Strife and doom its woeful dream ensured. Vile phantoms of creed with deception en route Intended to thwart, unveil their wicked fruit. Satan had withered our spirit's joy and flame, And gathered an earthly militia; among those to blame. A maze he encrypted, the heir's light yet unseen, All prospects stolen, great efforts wiped clean. Creative their mind twilight art they presented, The Sphere's evil hosts all reflected and resented. Lost was all hearing, faith and sight, Misplaced sense of wonder and good sense in flight. "I worship nothing!" His heir once preferred, Such was the spirit in high degrees deterred.        "Paragons of justice, will I ever get to see The day my misfortunes cease to be? They shadow, entrap and starve my soul Of love and joy and all control! So tired I am, and tired I shall stay If purpose here is merely to convey No purpose at all, except for one: To enslave the soul, casting punishment for fun. My simple wish, then, is simply to impart An end to this misery and to my sanctioned heart."        His despairing heir put in motion so An idea most frightening, its telling shall forego... Immerse in their demise, allow for stricken grief, Then foresee the King's love and His graciousness in fleet. He gathered around, with love He replaced Satan and his minions conspiring in space; The King broke off the heir's chains with great might, He enlightened our spirit, who had not known the light. The heir's desperate cries reached The King's vibrations, He released the heir and nullified all limitations. Profound divine wisdom our heir now espies; Seeing The King's glory and the through destroyer's lies. Great wisdom and revelation now fill this mended heart, But it's a tale best left for another form of art...

Arrow upon arrow the stricken heart endured, Strife and doom its woeful dream ensured. Vile phantoms of creed with deception en route Intended to thwart, unveil their wicked fruit. Satan had withered our spirit's joy and flame, And gathered an earthly militia; among those to blame. A maze he encrypted, the heir's light yet unseen, All prospects stolen, great efforts wiped clean. Creative their mind twilight art they presented, The Sphere's evil hosts all reflected and resented. Lost was all hearing, faith and sight, Misplaced sense of wonder and good sense in flight. "I worship nothing!" His heir once preferred, Such was the spirit in high degrees deterred.        "Paragons of justice, will I ever get to see The day my misfortunes cease to be? They shadow, entrap and starve my soul Of love and joy and all control! So tired I am, and tired I shall stay If purpose here is merely to convey No purpose at all, except for one: To enslave the soul, casting punishment for fun. My simple wish, then, is simply to impart An end to this misery and to my sanctioned heart."        His despairing heir put in motion so An idea most frightening, its telling shall forego... Immerse in their demise, allow for stricken grief, Then foresee the King's love and His graciousness in fleet. He gathered around, with love He replaced Satan and his minions conspiring in space; The King broke off the heir's chains with great might, He enlightened our spirit, who had not known the light. The heir's desperate cries reached The King's vibrations, He released the heir and nullified all limitations. Profound divine wisdom our heir now espies; Seeing The King's glory and the through destroyer's lies. Great wisdom and revelation now fill this mended heart, But it's a tale best left for another form of art...

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cell. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep, Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers; And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours. Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,--- While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir, the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft, And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Ode To Autumn
scratched walls, horrifying screams, of dreams, electric chair stupor, in the boudoir, breathing lunar air, it’s a psychotic affair. dilated pupil, the brain was being a cupel, men in white coats, injecting drugs, in bodies like slugs. soaked bodies in bath tub, gazing on the ceiling reading what’s written up. loonies conspiring against the medic, through the power of psychedelic. eyeing each doctor from the corner of their eye, sitting on their chairs high. burning with desire, cold as a wire. the breakout began at noon, headed by a loon. followed by a goon, in the end of june. the loons, wanted to escape to the desert dunes, running away from the chemical fumes, dodging exhume. electrocuted, injected, infected, discarded and rejected. the loons had taken over, the goons had won. they were stun. terrible turn of events, it was all in their mind tents, still sulking on the beds and their wheel chairs, dreaming of the answers of their prayers.
