"contant" poems
I had s nightmare
That I changed the
It helped every generation
Boys and girls
I had a dream
That everything was the same
It didn't really change any perspective anyway
I had a nightmare
That we were standing right screaming Revolution resolution and restitution
I had a dream that I lived in America twin condo and ciroc with a girl named Eric
I had a nightmare
Everyone was happy
We all would fight
For the world and what happened
I had a dream that I was a black activist
Dying for the truth and my truth only is what mattered then
I had a nightmare that I spared the differences of unity and freedom and how equality isn't fair because we are equally different from where we're from
I woke up
Frustrated
Upset
Joyous
Happy
Contant
Realized what I had
Past present future
And now I make decisions
Because I'm only getting older
And its all just controversy
Trying to hurt me

I wanted you to know I did hear you and for the second thing this is the second time in writing this because it got deleted. I'm always here if you need me, I may have not shown it but all you got to do it pick up the phone and call it. I'm a bit taller if you remember, but you would be the only one who would remember the past me, for only you could see. The true me, although I may seem a different person to you. I'm still the old me and you thought I broke free from the nonsense, but I really just stepped into more contant ******** but If I could take a pick I would take a leap forward to future, past the high school phase and all these pointless days, in constant distress, dazed in confusion, but I didn't come to a conclusion I know this is out of the blue but I still do love you. Don't be afraid to come to me because I'll be here, my first peom I wrote for you was ten times better. To add to it, would you like to be my friend again?

I laid on my bed and watched the storms last night
Seeing the beautiful lightning such a wonderful sight
I didn't even mind being there alone
I guess the loneliness I've out grown
The lightning struck so much my room was contant noon
And the thunder just kept rolling like one melodious tone
I lay across my bed
With the window at my head
I love the fragrant smell
When the storms give it hell
I watched it storm for hours
Wishing I could draw upon it's powers
Just how awesome would that be
To have people cower before me
I dreamed all night long of storms and thunder
It tore my dreams asunder
But in the morning light they where gone
And now I can't wait for them again to come along

So there is this little jasmine
stolen by the wind
Away it soars with every gush
of blue
And shawls tease their women red
As foliage wingless flees, flees—
Litter and puppies down for a race
I have not been here before
Within these
swaying trees and woollen grounds
Yet I have—
Something smiles
but I cannot fathom where
My paw prints
etched upon every street
I am a stranger to this town
Its soft folks and gentle turns
Then the jasmine
giggles over winking waters
I reckon these smug faced clouds
kiss more than they tell
But I cannot assure
They have cooked up a charming brew
And I see, just in time, them pearls
and their shimmering armours
Tripping over,
And running over
—how very charming, indeed
embracing us with their lively touch
They laugh all around
And scare our dusty shadows away
I have wandered around
the notes of this song
—Wandered restless
Yet only now do I slumber
Only now do I hear—
the flirty gusts with their vivacious fingers
I am a fox
a squirrel, a wolf, an orange cat
a jasmine
Stolen by the wind
Plucked from a hollow branch,
deprived of my clawing bed
I tread through the beaming verses
of this obsolete ballad—
Tentative touches of those tipsy tulips
I’ve heard the tales
of their euphoria before
Much I had learned
back in my leafless den
But the grasses are golden here
and not at all deceptive
They yield lovingly around me
And how could the sparrows not chatter?
in my felicity
Wonder what’s making me cry
A pack of wolves
romps in my chest
the full moon of my heart
weeps, weeps, weeps
It is beautiful here
shops only whisper
and vehicles are patient
I’ve lurked at the edges of this poem
Yet only now do I fall
It is beautiful here
I am an owl, a rabbit,
a dolphin, an orange cat
a jasmine stolen
by the peachy yonder
I flutter my petals
over the freshly bathed meadows
In this vacant ember of my self
Moths lie contant,
and the trapped flame
shivers, shivers, shivers
— I cannot fathom
where, but
it is beautiful here

Un renard plein d'esprit, d'adresse, de prudence,
À la cour d'un lion servait depuis longtemps.
Les succès les plus éclatants
Avaient prouvé son zèle et son intelligence.
Pour peu qu'on l'employât, toute affaire allait bien.
On le louait beaucoup, mais sans lui donner rien ;
Et l'habile renard était dans l'indigence.
Lassé de servir des ingrats,
De réussir toujours sans en être plus gras,
Il s'enfuit de la cour ; dans un bois solitaire
Il s'en va trouver son grand-père,
Vieux renard retiré, qui jadis fut vizir.
Là, contant ses exploits, et puis les injustices,
Les dégoûts qu'il eut à souffrir,
Il demande pourquoi de si nombreux services
N'ont jamais pu rien obtenir.
Le bon homme renard, avec sa voix cassée,
Lui dit : mon cher enfant, la semaine passée,
Un blaireau mon cousin est mort dans ce terrier :
C'est moi qui suis son héritier,
J'ai conservé sa peau : mets-la dessus la tienne,
Et retourne à la cour. Le renard avec peine
Se soumit au conseil ; affublé de la peau
De feu son cousin le blaireau,
Il va se regarder dans l'eau d'une fontaine,
Se trouve l'air d'un sot, tel qu'était le cousin.
Tout honteux, de la cour il reprend le chemin.
Mais, quelques mois après, dans un riche équipage,
Entouré de valets, d'esclaves, de flatteurs,
Comblé de dons et de faveurs,
Il vient de sa fortune au vieillard faire hommage :
Il était grand vizir. Je te l'avais bien dit,
S'écrie alors le vieux grand-père :
Mon ami, chez les grands quiconque voudra plaire
Doit d'abord cacher son esprit.

I am definitely in love with a stranger.
He's physically there, yet, not.
You see his face, but his eyes seem lost.
You feel the connection, but it's always on loose ends.
It's like a game of tug of war,
Of contant pulling and tugging,
but with no exact winner.
And when someone does win,
the other person falls.
The other person always does.
