this door exists, stately and staunchly it stands, disheartening and terrifying it remains. the door is unlocked, yet cannot be opened, for in it, a path in time... one decision that can affect everything [such as my choice to wear the necklace you adore, which lead to you noticing me for the very first time, or my idea to play you the song that you fell in love with, which i can no longer listen to] ...for in this door, one path is intimidatingly located. every bone in my body, every last muscle, tendon, ligament each artery, each vein, each capillary every single nerve, even each microscopic cell, implores me not to open this tempting door... [it is almost as if my hand refuses to grasp the handle, to unleash the unknown upon me, the colossal chain of events that would ensue] the immensity of the unfamiliar, the unexplored, tends to perturb me. change is unnerving and is almost as chilling as an abandoned graveyard at midnight. but i bring my mind back to the door, yes! this preposterous door that i have contrived for myself. why is the **** so easily turned? why does it not put up somewhat of a fight, at least jolt me suddenly, as to frighten my curious heart? it is a constant battle between my body my mind and my heart as to which doors to open and which ones to leave ever so steadfastly closed. but never once has there been such a struggle for them to reach an understanding. somehow my heart, [even though a fraction of me, a fist, dripping in blood] is prevailing for the moment. my heart reaches for the handle, attempts to unclose the door... yet, with the best of its ability, withstanding my strong-willed and obstinate heart, my powerful body and commanding mind overcome this hostile takeover, and the door remains shut. it is my body, my skillful mouth, my soft, rose lips, my elegant tongue, and my vocal chords... all of these pieces must contrive the words, conceive the change, which will unveil the path that will forever alter us... slowly, opening the door. being as in love with you as i am, i will not let you slip away from my arms right now. but when we are not together [*i wish you’d have been there, i needed you there*] i stare at this humbling door. if i wait too long, i’ll forever lose you; for it is you who will make this choice for me, opening your own door, fearless and dauntless.

The Door
this door exists, stately and staunchly it stands, disheartening and terrifying it remains. the door is unlocked, yet cannot be opened, for in it, a path in time... one decision that can affect everything [such as my choice to wear the necklace you adore, which lead to you noticing me for the very first time, or my idea to play you the song that you fell in love with, which i can no longer listen to] ...for in this door, one path is intimidatingly located. every bone in my body, every last muscle, tendon, ligament each artery, each vein, each capillary every single nerve, even each microscopic cell, implores me not to open this tempting door... [it is almost as if my hand refuses to grasp the handle, to unleash the unknown upon me, the colossal chain of events that would ensue] the immensity of the unfamiliar, the unexplored, tends to perturb me. change is unnerving and is almost as chilling as an abandoned graveyard at midnight. but i bring my mind back to the door, yes! this preposterous door that i have contrived for myself. why is the **** so easily turned? why does it not put up somewhat of a fight, at least jolt me suddenly, as to frighten my curious heart? it is a constant battle between my body my mind and my heart as to which doors to open and which ones to leave ever so steadfastly closed. but never once has there been such a struggle for them to reach an understanding. somehow my heart, [even though a fraction of me, a fist, dripping in blood] is prevailing for the moment. my heart reaches for the handle, attempts to unclose the door... yet, with the best of its ability, withstanding my strong-willed and obstinate heart, my powerful body and commanding mind overcome this hostile takeover, and the door remains shut. it is my body, my skillful mouth, my soft, rose lips, my elegant tongue, and my vocal chords... all of these pieces must contrive the words, conceive the change, which will unveil the path that will forever alter us... slowly, opening the door. being as in love with you as i am, i will not let you slip away from my arms right now. but when we are not together [*i wish you’d have been there, i needed you there*] i stare at this humbling door. if i wait too long, i’ll forever lose you; for it is you who will make this choice for me, opening your own door, fearless and dauntless.

1, for the slumber that tumbles us round, 2, for the remedy, the musics bold sound. 3, for the tree that became your canoe & 4 for the rain, it's ambiguous blue. 5, to escape, to a world we contrive, 6 for the tricks that I played to survive. 7, because heaven, is supposedly on earth, & 8 for my mother, and her unknown worth. 9 for the failures, the faults & mistakes, 10 for the fears that keep us awake. 11, for my father, consoles me each night, whispers advice crystal clear, filled with insight- words on courage & kindness, love & delight. 12- when you wake but it's already night. 13 forever, with strength glory and might, 14 with wisdom, discretion, insight- both numbers together sizing up every fight. 15, for my little sister, and all her turmoil, 15, for her spirit, the last one to spoil, she and the world but water and oil, 15 for her soul, and like the mighty cobra it's coil, deadly & graceful defends its home soil. 16 for the evil- the wicked & cruel, the endless hate they spin into fuel. 17, for reason, justice & art, and all the other virtues life etched on my heart, 18, to redeem, to admit your mistake, to truly move on then perhaps to retake. 19 for that shame, always the same, so familiar it almost comforts my brain. 19, for the suffering, agony & betrayal. 19 true stories retold as mere tales- how they surpass logic and induce other's fails. 20. For my years. For the moment, for now. For to the past I salute, and to the future I bow; All with the hope that next year I'll know how to do what everyone else can.

sad boy; what a pathetic ploy this is for my attention. all you contrive tastelessly always lacks concession. every word, and image you fake I reject, from my possession, for all you are 's worth less than this effortless expression. you see, my natural creativity surmounts your **** impression of the beauty of my work and my powerful transgression.

Reminder to a Gypsy
I never say we are orphans; But they say we’re. But who are they? They are the orphans. They chased us away from their fold, Yea, it’s for good that we’ve been raised by HIM. Their fold hath been stained by outrageous laws, And are shrouded with selfish attires, And they have swallowed our innocence and spit it out. But why they did so? It was they’d turned ‘gainst us, And their treacherous acts named them traitors. It is they lurk around us still to **** us, They contrive against us still to covet our belongings; And they lay their greedy tongues stretched at our treasures. But HE is our Protector, laying us in HIS Arms, And we are safe in HIS Arms. No, we aren’t orphans, For God in Christ Jesus is our Father, And we are HIS children.

Are We Orphans?
The door to your heart is a horrifying puzzle Your Jigsaw pattern I can't put together The pieces I hold don't correspond So I take parts from you Which is making me Leatherface And giving you a flatter taste And the ****** chain I saw placed Was pressed to your door with haste You're a killer doll like Chucky How could I have been so unlucky? I can't even cut through your curtains I become a cold corpse before the movie can start Like a careless Jamie Lee Curtis How long can such a curted courtship last? Before I contrive the courage to crush The Killer Croc in your rib cage But the corrosive corrections officer That is your puzzle piece door Impedes all progress to your horror heart Because the improper placement of pieces Will make me think you're The Witch When you tell me Don't Breathe As my theater's lights dim I scramble for an exit But my only escape from the cinema is through your door I grow cynically situated to the pitch black pictures How could I expect to solve the riddle Now that I need to? Doors that can't be opened are walls Speaking softly turns to brawls As your pieces scattered like change Your door completely wrapped in chains I feel stupid and ashamed Your puzzled movie's to blame

Horror
The eyes should be on the target only after opting the goal "Be Like Cheetah" -ARAVIND BHARGAVA "Cheetah getting famished sets the ambition to chase a Deer, Doesn't stop until the purpose is clear, Doesn't gets confused by seeing an animal in the middle, Achieves the goal and makes the deer to ******* You are the Cheetah and deer is the goal, Other goals are animals in a whole, Concentrate only on the purpose you have chosen, Make the goal for you to be frozen. Frame the aspiration by yourselves you had, Detach negative from mind which is bad, Attention only on the ambition you designated, Do not lose confidence even if you are underestimated, Add courage, trust, and determination to your mind, Do not cease until everything is fined. Be like a cheetah, contrive goals And be successful in life"

BE LIKE CHEETAH
I don't ask you to be faithful - you're beautiful, after all - but just that I be spared the pain of knowing. I make no stringent demands that you should really be chaste, but only that you try to cover up. If a girl can claim to be pure, it's the same as being pure: it's only admitted vice that makes for scandal. What madness, to confess by day what's wrapped in night, and what you've done in secret, openly tell! The ****** about to bed some Roman off the street still locks her door first, keeping out the crowd: will you yourself then make your sins notorious, accusing and prosecuting your own crime? Be wise, and learn at least to imitate chaste girls, and let me believe you're good, though you are not. Do what you do, but simply deny you ever did: there's nothing wrong with public modesty. There is a proper place for looseness: fill it up with all voluptuousness, and banish shame; but when you're done there, then put off all playfulness and leave your indiscretions in your bed. There, don't be ashamed to lay your gown aside and press your thigh against a pressing thigh; there take and give deep kisses with your crimson lips; let love contrive a thousand ways of passion; there let delighted words and moans come ceaselessly, and make the mattress quiver with playful motion. But put on with your clothes a face that's all discretion, and let Shame disavow your shocking deeds. Trick everyone, trick me: leave me in ignorance; let me enjoy the life of a happy fool. Why must I see so often notes received - and sent? Why must I see two imprints on your bed, or your hair disarrayed much more than sleep could do? Why must I notice love bites on your neck? You all but flaunt your indiscretions in my face. Think of me, if not of your reputation. I lose my mind, I die, when you confess you've sinned; I break out in cold sweat from hand to foot; I love you then, and hate you - in vain, since I must love you; I wish then I were dead - and you were too! I won't investigate or check whatever you try to hide: I will be thankful to be deceived. But even if I catch you in the very act and look on your disgrace with my own eyes, deny that I have seen what I have clearly seen, and my eyes will agree with what you claim. You'll win an easy prize from a man who wants to lose, only remember to say, 'I didn't do it.' Since you can gain your victory with one short phrase, win on account of your judge, if not your case.

*Ignorance is bliss they say There are many who might agree But I have a secret to share today That once was shared with me If you should ever chance to gaze into the eyes of the young and bold You might discern a glowing light that neither flickers nor grows cold What sustains this constant spark- Night or day, light or dark? Whence flows the river of joy and peace That gushes forth through gentle souls? What is the secret of peaceful sleep Enjoyed by minds of simpler mould? Tempting though it may be to attribute to lacking wit The exuberance and ecstasy discarded with the training bit, Wisdom urges a second glance beyond the proverbial looking glass In the hope one might contrive to visit with the other side A world of simple charms and grace, far from this one’s treacherous maze And so this deeper, delving look Might relight that failing spark While in the pages of a thousand books One may languish in the dark!*

Sparkling Simplicity
Juvenile Government. Black-skinned Politics. Lavish desires for power, establish conflicts, Contrive one's graveyard for authorities, And inculcate defalcation at the zenith. Deciphering the truth from ocean of lies, Sovereignty of benevolent people has drowned; Flooded miseries. Benighted reality. Withered accountability. Absurd transparency.

Poetry is the air poets are the breath poets sparkle like jewels of paradise flourishes in garden of great poetry poets matured like pearls in oysters of vast ocean of their sub conscious no need to ****** it from jaws of crocodiles or to combat dragons don't have to climb Everest cross the burning Sahara crawl in the dark belly of the Pyramids all they've to do is let the ink flow let inspired words pass through prism minds let contrive and conceive aglow.

I was enriched, not casting after marvels, But as one walking in a usual place, Without desert but common eyes and ears, No recourse but to hear, power but to see, Got to love you of grace. Subtle musicians, that could body wind, Or contrive strings to anguish, in conceit Random and artless strung a branch with bells, Fixed in one silver whim, which at a touch Shook and were sweet. And you, you lovely and unpurchased note, One run distraught, and vexing hot and cold To give to the heart’s poor confusion tongue, By chance caught you, and henceforth all unlearned Repeats you gold.

Magnificat In Little
Weepy is my heart as it mourns hard this day Muddled is my head with thoughts all amuck Muffled is my voice with the words I try to say Stifled are my screams as they try but all seem stuck. Tense are my shoulders with the load that I bear Wet are my eyes seeing everything so blurry Heavy is my chest as it sighs and draws its air Tired is this body with so much it attempts to carry. Weak is my strength, fending off oh so feebly Uncertain are my hopes to see the light at the end Outstretched are my arms reaching and grabbing constantly Tested is my resolve, how much further can it bend. Lonely is my soul yearning greatly for it's other pair Drunken are my senses, almost losing all control Desperate is my being wanting love that's not here but there Clouded is my future, totally obscured is my goal. Two-sided are the fallen words I have listed before Strained is my mind as I try to view the good Mirrored are these feelings, they bear so much more Enlightened is my will, I shan't mope and brood. Relieved is my heart when I think of the other that beats Serene is my head when I separate fear from fear Loud is my voice as it clears for the love it greets Redundant are my screams for I don't need them here. Relaxed are my shoulders, still fueled to continue Wide are my eyes for the sight they can't always see Lifted is my chest for the love it wants to pursue Upright is this body, to get to where it wants to be. Rejuvenated is my strength when I accept that I am strong Restored are my hopes, I'd still keep them alive Faithful are my arms, still reaching for what they long Strengthened is my resolve with plans it'll contrive. Contented is my soul for the mate it has found Heightened are my senses, embraced by feelings so keen Centred is my being, keep my bearings on the ground Bright is my future, in my dreams they have been. Empty are the words for I won't let them linger Focused is my mind; on my prize no matter how far Embraced are these feelings for they only make me stronger Steeled is my will; to be one with my love, angel and star...

It was considered expedient To change the unit of measure To change scale, To make redundant all That could be wasted, Naturally. Internal communications Will contrive suitable verbs To conceal the brutality of profit To provide surety as required To the senior management team As for the rest: To those whose insecurities Are relied upon, whose Middles have expanded, aged Receded, human resources Will issue notice of packages And opportunities of relocation. The restructure will require The recruitment of some Of the hungry young; Fresh graduates on the newly Introduced basic scales. What of your work you enquire? Those value added strategies Of differentiation Of corporate responsibilities, Family friendly policies? In this age of austerity Such approaches, old man, Are as relevant as a hard drive, Or hard copy, this is a cloud Sourced post-crunch Twitterverse we inhabit, This is a time for new prospects This is cloud cuckoo land.

R&B: Joe wants to know
Where was I, when you were alive? Was I sleeping, dreaming, kicking, screaming, Staring in wonder at the bright stars a-gleaming? Where was I when you were crying? Was I thinking of life after dying, Seeing as it was, or blind and sighing, Where was I when you were crying? When you were born, what was I doing? Was I speaking, walking, peeking, stalking, Dancing, singing, laughing, mingling, Looking, lying, toking, trying? Where was I when you were on the beach, Staring out towards the sea? Perhaps I was taking a *** Or sipping my hot cup of tea? Where was I when you were sleeping? Perhaps I was in mid-air, leaping, Or watching as MTV was bleeping swearwords. Where was I when you fell ill? Was I parked up on a hill, Waiting for life to arrive With a plan it did contrive? When you were driving, Or tidying, Perhaps on a snowboard somewhere, sliding, Was I alone at home and hiding? Or on the bike somewhere, and riding? Maybe I was wide-awake, Or laughing with my friends, while baked, Or greasing a pan to bake a cake, Contemplating what makes a lake. Or perhaps I was asleep and dreaming, and lost in my subconscious readings, With avatars of all my friends, Buying a Mercedes Benz. Where was I when you were wasted? Was I laughing at old hatreds, Staring at a crawling aphid, Or in the shower, and stark naked? Where were you while I was thinking? Perhaps you were awake and blinking, All the sleep out of your eyes, After dreaming of cute Albanian guys? Where is everyone this second? I mean, this specific second, As I write or read this poem, Perform it for a crowd so wholesome, Where am I as you read this? Up on a stage and fighting fears false lisp, To make sure all of these words are crisp, Or eating bread with ham and swiss? Are you dead, or are you living? A minion to society's bidding, Or policing streets and finally ridding Pavement of the hobos twitching out of crystal **** Perhaps you're firing a gun, Or you've found the only 'one,' To love through thick and thin, till death; Or thinking, "Wow, poor old MacBeth." In this moment, is it all; So listen to the moments call, And cancel all your texting plans, And use those thumbs to grasp the hand, Of a loved one next to you; "The day before" was never true, So there's no better time for you, To look for some more love to brew. So get up, and go do. Go do it.

The Moment, Or, Go Do.

Incontinence of Pseudo-emotion has engulfed us from the 3rd grade. It festered dormant for a little under a decade before it’s vessel popped. A pore filled with ***** media which dehumanizes and objectives human beings While making a spectacle and esteem of being promiscuous. All that Dirt Lathered in an oil of misdirection. A misunderstanding of affection, empathy and apathy. Those who contrive the most emotion are perceived as actually possessing the most emotion. Nothing can be farther from the truth. This is the death of morality. A birth of Nihilism. The miasma of the rotting corpse of ethos and emotional connection. Is one that sits in the stomach and contracts illness not curable due to our understanding. We have been taught that promiscuity will bring us happiness, and yet it is the most depressing. Without understanding of that we are incurable from this ugly affliction. Momentary bursts of relief chafe the most sensitive areas of our skin. Without treatment. We will be encased in our handmade carapace which will indefinitely block us from emotion. Luckily someone invented lotion, soft tissues, and silicone.

Rubbed Rawng
I need an outlet for these emotions to spill Their bubbling at the surface, I've had my fill It’s hard keeping this raw energy contained It hurts, lately I've been living life pained. Try to talk them out Don’t have the courage to tell what about Anger, regret, happiness, sad just to name a few Out of my head they spew Paper is the gateway from my thoughts to reality But if anyone should read, would they question my morality? Or reject my personality? Load my pen up with my feelings The words I write are healing's A chance to relieve some pressure Filled up too much to measure To release is such a pleasure To find peace, I search for that treasure But if I leave my mind alone Mind and reason will be overthrown By the fists of thought, hammering at the walls with a desperate tone Seeds of self-destruction I have sewn All chances to stop it, I have blown This is the only way I can survive This solution was the only thing I could contrive Maybe through written words I could thrive If not, my soul would dive Down deep into the bowels of darkness Salvation would truly be hopeless But for now, the abyss will just tease Until I have no more use for writing, my heart will never be at ease Oh this liberating ink

Liberating Ink
I'll weave into your sleeping form and lace into your dreams; when you wake I'll be the light behind your eyes and the softness in your smile. With sharp words and gentle intentions I will shape and guide this story. I am cunning and honest. I'll get inside your head, but more importantly, your heart. There I will spin my tale and make you begin to wonder and learn. I design and I scheme, I am crafty and clever. I create and I intertwine, I am fabricated and beguiling. I am the sin and savior of imagination, I am the inspiration and the hollow ring. I am the advocator of make-believe and visions of passion. I am the lessons of joy and strife, I am the morals, I am the parable of simplicity, I am the myths and legends that have withstood time. I am the fallacies and disappointments, the misconceptions and outdated lore. I am; I create. I entwine, knit, construct, contrive. I invent these allegories, bringing things into being. (So who am I? ...I am love, for "love is a cunning weaver of fantasy and fables.")

cunning weaver
her strive for attention deprives her actual intention and she thrives off tension but she feels alive with this pretension and what I've failed to mention its her contrive for perfection…of love

Of Young Love
I contrive to redefine the lines, Equivalent to defying midnight skies. Freedom is my bride, Despite ignorance of a guide. Why are my mental insides open wide? What does my future hold? Specify which road or ride, And if so why? You don't know why, Because you aren't my guide, And it's all up to me. I'll pick the right time to arrive, Alright.
