"curbed" poems
At the back of the noisy cafe bent over a table sits an old man; a newspaper in front of him, without company. And in the scorn of his miserable old age he ponders how little he enjoyed the years when he had strength, and the power of the word, and good looks. He knows he has aged much; he feels it, he sees it. And yet the time he was young seems like yesterday. How short a time, how short a time. And he ponders how Prudence deceived him; and how he always trusted her -- what a folly! -- that liar who said: "Tomorrow. There is ample time." He remembers the impulses he curbed; and how much joy he sacrificed. Every lost chance now mocks his senseless wisdom. ...But from so much thinking and remembering the old man gets dizzy. And falls asleep bent over the cafe table.

An Old Man
In the name of democracy An entire state is terrorized Decade after decade Freedoms are curbed Protests are brutally suppressed People are brutally oppressed Education is diluted In the name of democracy The Army turns from protector to oppressor Every soldier marching past With his head held high Sounds the death knell For every man, woman and child In the name of democracy Soldiers break into houses Wielding their massive rifles As if it is their birthright As the peace and harmony within Is replaced by abject terror In the name of democracy All morals are flung out of the window As the women are ***** The men who challenge this unspeakable atrocity Are swiftly silenced with bullets As the children begin screaming in terror They are molested, one by one Until the trauma overcomes them Such that, they lose their voices They lose their minds They lose their hearts Meanwhile, the soldiers slip away quietly Having completed a good day of work In the name of democracy In the name of democracy India and Pakistan, warring for decades Use Kashmir as a bait As a means to satisfy Their unquenchable thirst for power As the potion simmers on Fuelled by hate on both sides Curfews and lockdowns follow with alarming regularity Schools and colleges are shut down Political organizations are banned The Internet is crippled Mobiles and landlines are killed Even the most feeble of all protests Is brutally quelled with bullets and grenades In the name of democracy Consent is dead and buried As nationalism takes centre stage The world watches on silently Allowing India, the oppressors-in-chief To reclaim the moral high ground And suddenly proclaim themselves as saviours Leaving the beleaguered Kashmiris no choice But to bow to their captors Their dreams of self-determination Shattered ruthlessly in the course of a mad, mad day In the name of democracy

I wish I never met you. Not out of hate but out of love. I wish you never showed me how it was to be happy. Because now that you're not here... Alone to myself and my emptiness, an absence so deep it crushes me breathless. A love unfinished unappreciated undiscovered utterly uprooted. Without you I'm unloved. Without. Just me. Emptiness curbed by the hope you're still waiting for me. Waiting upstairs - waiting, calling for me to come to bed. I long for that again. The need for a connection ... to you, to myself. A purpose to exist and care. When its just me in a room within, there is too much space. Just empty closets of your memories. Loaded gun of emotion with no target. Bound and compressed to dust. A diamond will arise from the ashes but not for you. Never again will I let you inside my expanse. Just to hurt me and watch me bleed. When you were in pain, my shoulder is where you lay. When you were happy, my eyes were your gaze. When you were in love, my chest your head fell. When you were lost, my heart you stayed. Now all that remains. When you pushed me away, beside you I stayed. Forever I could have been there, stepping through the mud. No hope, no love, no mud, no longer. Pain is double edged like your two faces. With one comes the other. One I never thought existed. One I never thought I'd see. One I can't let go of and dispel. One - a memory that deforms my existence. Understanding chaos is a never ending deployment. Lonely and expressionless with No muse for my fingers. No figure of beauty to adore endlessly. Trapped now within my prison of passion. A vessel to pour my unbound passion. An unlikely companion stifled immature and premature. Incapable, incompatible - irresistible. An unlikely companion clearly conceptual.

Growth, empowerment, love. Words of our generation, Words we can't get rid off. Should we try to? No. Look within, Feel your heart grow. Love yourself, it's deserved. No matter what anyone says, It should not be curbed. Hate, oppression. It is all rife. My dear one, don't forget, You get to live your best life. If people turn and say nay, Don't panic, do not worry, I promise, they're not here to stay. Growth, empowerment, love. All treasured things, That you can be proud of.

Empowerment
I cannot be curbed, I cannot be tamed, I cannot adopt moderation, or restraint. My appetites are rampant, And my passions wreak havoc like a violent summer storm. Do not try to temper my lusts, or divert my inclinations, For you will fail. I will not have it said, that I merely existed. Life is delicious, love is everything, Why would you seek, therefore, to dampen your desires? There is much to adore, there is much to abhor, And I would not have it any other way.

Cleopatra
Looking out of the window; a ribbon of duck-egg-blue sky, fringed by the sun's late light, is sandwiched by grey cumulus. It frames Sycamore tree tops, red tiled pyramids with their expectant aerials pointing West, littering clean lines. It is a mute view; serried bins wait for the mornings collection, cars sit dumb, curbed, their daily commute completed. Two starlings flit, silent, and in the far distance a high contrail is picked out in gold as a thread in blue silk. For five years this view remains changeably the same; unspoilt by the entropy of new perspectives. This is the summer of un-broadcast malcontents, pacified in Brazilian spectacle. Days simmer here and there. Soap operas filter through, made to massage the message of consume and discard, of holidays and pistons. And in the mornings, that never come, we abandon the cars that cannot diverge from work-honed routes, taking to the air from Sycamores as Starlings. June 2014

Starlings
Hitting me, anger assuming it's common place, during such arguments of hate and jealousy it can be seen in your eyes and through every vein, that pulsates through your body, back at me red and igniting, your body it's own temple of fire and petrol gas thrown on by my ever answering back voice, later silenced. *My only means of pacifying you, is to pull you close as rough as you drag me, to the floor, kiss you and allow you to **** me, forcing all your weight upon, this now fragile pale skinned girl, as no light has crossed her bruised face in so many days, food is a weakness, her work her, salvation.* Submissive, I divide you in to two separate entities, the good of you, shows affection like no other passion and commitment, flowers show up at work, rings, bracelets, gifts to appease my beaten self making me, again, yours, again **** me, it keeps the monster in you, at bay, controlled I beg for more, you liked it that way. *The power, it curbed the anger, curbed my, anxiety and fear of the unknown, never able to control the relentless moods demons that raged through you each and every moment, you looked me in the eyes hatred or love, baby blue eyes you would smile, baby blue eyes you would swear, voice getting louder walls broken, face smashed in.* How I left you, I will never know only now do I see, nothing I did or could have done, would change what you did to me those days and nights, of pain and torture, **** me, maybe it was deserved or maybe I made it that way to appease him, even myself, but I ask what would a real man have done? answer, not that, right? © Sia Jane

It has been almost 7 years since We first spoke, And your *** and coke has loosened your tongue. "It is not your fault that I'm in love with you," you said, "I'm just an idiot, for letting it go so far." Like when, at 3am, you phoned from across the ocean, Because you felt that something was wrong, And the pills stacked up on my desk stayed there, Useless. I'm sure that that was careless of you, too. If I had known I would have curbed it, Because I know that unrequited love feels like a punch to the gut, And you've saved me enough times that I owe you in return. But, as confessions pour from your alcoholic lips, I freeze. I'm not sure what comfort I can be, when The word 'friendzone' has left your mouth so often That I sometimes think you're the enemy. Now we are here, And I keep expecting your finger To send the blame my way. Please don't be that guy (I wouldn't be alive without you.)

i find it strange to be politically correct, without actually exercising any political career-motive as a member of a government... because that's what's we're being sold: to be politically correct, without a career in politics. doubly strange, to foster non-antagonising views on everyday matters, to later realise that whoever we're antagonising from an environmental bias (rather than a personal bias) we will never share a dinner with... so like our opinions mattering in the first place was by-and-large, just a media hoax to ensure we were all prescribed the safety of walking the tight-rope... and never really designating ourselves the freedom of the constitutional rights - this leftist bias remains intact, on the canvas of freedom of speech, however that freedom allows us to see rural endeavours in talk, the once appreciated freedom is becoming a polarised freedom to name & shame... a media hammer or nail... because it's only freedom when enough people agree with "us", to allow a bicep expression of being backed up like some Spartacus... i mean, i don't agree with most expression, but i wouldn't **** the hornet's nest with the media frenzy to appear politically correct... when so few of us actually have any political power.... being sold free speech, to be later curbed with political correctness is a bit cancerous.... given that free speech is equated to the voting X from the age of mass illiteracy... i don't see how free speech became a vehicle for acquiring constrained speech dynamic - when did we forget the chastity of speaking the airy-fairy things in life on the informal basis, and when did we become so ****** friendless, estranged, outsiders to everything that matters... and now, supposedly between butcher and greengrocer, talking about the weather in cocktail smocking and bow-tie? free speech gave us the rights to not ask for political powers... on whatever governmental tier... prescribing us political correctness has given the everyday John the delusion that he can process political power... the once famous strive for speaking what the hell you want but not wanting political power changed into being prescribed political correctness but no political power... so i ask you... what's the point of being politically correct, if you gain no political power, unless you're a rat, a snitch, spying on your neighbour to grass them out? because that's what political correctness bred, snitches... those given political correctness laws were never given any other political power... added to the fact that they wouldn't have said anything interesting / provocative anyway.

Oleander Melanie S. Moorman, 2/3/15 Such beautiful pain Such largeness and gain Hardened by walls Built up time & time again White scented petals Fill the air - so smooth Fragrantly wafting - Singing to the Moon Lovelorn and tired She's dressed but uninspired Her mood changes But her song is the same Will you come out tonight? He says with a longing Will you put on that dress? A place your body belongs in She smiles seductively He knows what that means His desire shall be curbed By a meandering dream Playfully she calls But he hears - not too well Lost in his fears Where his love for her dwells.

In the confines of the house's backyard there are no marked graves at all to see but an attempt will be made by this bard to relate according to personal memory of some creatures buried therein to be. Over the course of many years gone by various creatures have been laid to rest in the soil of the yard's ground to comply with an improvised simple funeral blest by a short little prayer to end their quest. There were a couple of cats it is recalled one of them was within the property born though with the other memory has stalled which is not surprising and hardly forlorn to blame or point at with a finger of scorn. Then there were also a few local birds mainly sparrows that were regularly fed which flew all around and dropped turds being a little distressing to find any dead some due to after eating crumbs of bread. They were preyed upon by neighbors' cats and left for dead when they were disturbed in their instinctual appetite that included rats when by humankind were scared and curbed due to their wild nature's feast so perturbed. Then on occasion also mice would run free which were seen coming through the fence and when at times chased scurried up a tree where they would hurry to get away thence a similar burial applied if found dead hence. It'd be so incomplete here not to mention all those spiders and insects that had died in some way or other due to a pretension that their annoying habitual nature implied to be poisoned or squashed in their stride. They have all been buried in the backyard in various places there that are not marked laid to rest in the ground either soft or hard under where others had roamed and barked in the distant past after they were all carked. ________________

there remains a stirring pang churning around within a soothing ache invigorates an insatiable, yet suppressed , untamed appetite a gnawing hunger craving never curbed , abiding a leaching aloneness that piercingly tingles inwardly veritably suppressed fever burns out of control like a tameless wildfire ; flames fanned by the feral forces of nature reviving an intimately passionate verve ~ © wild is the wind

The feral forces of true nature
I settle for your declination of devotion in the fall because I remember all of your sweet summer promises. The same promises you'd whisper in my ear after a lackadaisical day spent between the love-stained cotton sheets.   Maybe it's the promises you'd imprint on my skin through the twists and turns of your docile fingers; seemingly writing every pinky swear in fluent body language. I can't forget the promises you'd feed me during our candlelit dinners in the city; the ones that curbed my heart's appetite for the duration of a 3-course meal. But the promises I remember most are the same ones that have my soul avoiding slumber during these sinful hours. The promises of this time being everything our past was not; the promises you swore you'd keep. All of those broken summer promises that you promised me.

The Boy Who Cried Promise
Iodine damnation cleanses Alice--rock-and-roll medusa alone in the field, she waits for the flies to eat the spider --the third testament of law divinely christened as low as $19.95. Hell is where Schrodinger throws the bodies. Revived Alice is in a burlap sack embedded in the cubbyhole of a mortal anthro-rubix, the small garnishes that spot livers during cancer. "Hello and welcome to the resting place of all Blues songs." speaks the curbed lips of Gluttony. A name that vomits up rebellion, like cleansing the glucose off fish-cleaning tables. Alice touches her eyes rolls them --fortunate galleries, broods deeply on the jaws of her receptors. "After the last drop, the hard boiled spoil and the cats won't eat 'em. Neither will I," Gluttony spews, "You all show up as do I, magnifying the cruelty of digging, digging, digging that follows me and you to the bitter stem and rough petal--throwing this rose, that rose, here and there inside the carcass of lust. The scalding photograph of a guerrilla war playground hangs over the mantle of a prideful garden. "Pulp wisdom looking back at the names of thieves/murderers of simple thought over-turning scars of fallacy in that garden. "Picking, picking, picking out the best arrangement so it doesn't look like I went through a drive-thru for what to say. 'Hey.' 'Yes?' 'I love you.' 'You too.' Something in between what you, I, and the others were looking for has uprooted bushes--the tilled chest of my sister and lover--disarrayed, dirt thrown to the side. Fibonacci colors patterned across the moist earth to distract you and I, all from the dread, and all the relief of ripping apart the white, pink, black, and red."

Reservations wreck havoc on play things that believe that Life is but a game For there are greater powers around here Cracks crease with an ease that seems surreal But is very very real Unfortunate sub-ordinates that smoke cigars as if they Will never die That they are immune to the illusion of man Pages burn while buildings yearn To take more lives slower and slower and slower Friends were fiends before I got to them Now they are friends who may seem fiends Somedays And friends of friends Along the other ones I'm sure they all do the same Because thought is a wanderer which lingers Smokes a cigarette And flicks its ash on every corner of the brain Making the membrane Nothing but a litter box where felines deficate in Corner curbed with the red lights always on Remember when you wrote me that song? An' right when you were about to sing And I wished it and wished it and wished it You said to me "That is why I can't do in with it" That is why you couldn't do in with it You picked up your things And walked on day the hall Heart wood beating In a crawl I had no one And neither In the end Do we all

I'm glad that they don't see me much, 'cause they'd blame me for all the sins. I healed a man with single touch; They called me witch forever since. They don't remember countless times when they got help with no payback. They hate me after — mind you — once I forced a man out of my shack and he went missing. Folks assumed that witch's the perfect one to blame. I clearly pictured me entombed as they were screaming like insane to **** me, break my house down. As if that drunckard on his pat could not get lost in swamp and drown while running scared by a bat. Whole town is against me now. Whole but a lonely little maid. I think for that i shall endow her, if she's not afraid. I'll grant her powers I possess, No secrets I will left consealed, She will control this evil place And hopefully, it will be healed. Those people's hatred gave a birth to evil essense in this land. Without my kin it will unearth, Against its wrath they won't withstand... But I will leave this cursed lands. I'll be accused for curse as well, as noone here understands: I did not cast, I curbed that spell...

Zero is not an absolute. I have seen worlds open inside her circular form-- the expansion and contraction of edges, curved longings curbed: suppressed then exposed-- everything we've wished for in our beds. Zero has infinite chance-- ringed and rung out-- sung and restrung her points connected positive and negative glued and preserved presorted for our convenience. There is nothing convenient in the sputter of our silences we spit and bite, tender nothing solicitous starvation. Our sympathetic matter of course. Zero is not nothing. She's bigger than comprehension-- compensation and competition Zero teaches us: What alone could be If we alone, weren't one.

Deep breaths, shallow steps far from the nest, thoughts squeezed dry in the press. Tired with rash, I've stained my sash, curbed here like sun-baked trash. Longing for stars, head dizzy from bars This alien's homesick for Mars.

Nonpresence
On the fourth night of this sweet summer month When I first looked into your pleasing eyes I read a message, something deep and vulnerable I gauged myself and my feelings even  more Saying to my heart, “it will just perish” But days passed, I started to become foolish I fell into likeness with you and definite I was Contemplating and reflecting on a decision, I must! Our fates may have been planned Things came about though complicated but manned We’ve placed ourselves in a difficult situation Yet we were happy for having our feelings expressed. I weighed things out, carefully and sure Commitment and love for him were now more obscure Even before you came, uncertainty was a question to be answered Many means were sought and prayed. You came into my life and made me realized Something that is greater, free and more that I can take That I’m still capable of loving somebody else And be loved in returned and not make myself bleak. A moment between us happened May 15 was the date and everything was said, breakeven. With a crying heart, I told you of what my heart was feeling You too confessed yours and time passed even more exciting. It’s been a week now since we’ve cleared everything between us We’d promised each other to cut strings from our past. The times spent with you, deep happiness felt I wish this would last even after the world would melt. No words could express how grateful am I to the Lord Not even the renowned lines in prose or poetry could describe this contentment When you came into my life, love became more defined Obstacles may hinder our path, as a larger scheme of things is meant. I’m just wishing for one single dream A dream that would be achieved if strength and trust are assured That these trials may be withstood And someday, our love would be not anymore curbed.

You
On the fourth night of this sweet summer month When I first looked into your pleasing eyes I read a message, something deep and vulnerable I gauged myself and my feelings even  more Saying to my heart, “it will just perish” But days passed, I started to become foolish I fell into likeness with you and definite I was Contemplating and reflecting on a decision, I must! Our fates may have been planned Things came about though complicated but manned We’ve placed ourselves in a difficult situation Yet we were happy for having our feelings expressed. I weighed things out, carefully and sure Commitment and love for him were now more obscure Even before you came, uncertainty was a question to be answered Many means were sought and prayed. You came into my life and made me realized Something that is greater, free and more that I can take That I’m still capable of loving somebody else And be loved in returned and not make myself bleak. A moment between us happened May 15 was the date and everything was said, breakeven. With a crying heart, I told you of what my heart was feeling You too confessed yours and time passed even more exciting. It’s been a week now since we’ve cleared everything between us We’d promised each other to cut strings from our past. The times spent with you, deep happiness felt I wish this would last even after the world would melt. No words could express how grateful am I to the Lord Not even the renowned lines in prose or poetry could describe this contentment When you came into my life, love became more defined Obstacles may hinder our path, as a larger scheme of things is meant. I’m just wishing for one single dream A dream that would be achieved if strength and trust are assured That these trials may be withstood And someday, our love would be not anymore curbed.

So what if our ages are months or years apart, Love lies not in numbers. So what if our abodes are airplanes or a bus ride apart, Love is not curbed by distance. So what if our incomes are millions or thousands apart, Love is not controlled by dollars. So what if our Gods or those we think rule us are different, Love is immune to such differences. So what if our preference in music is as vast as the sky is spread across the ocean, Love does not lie in music alone. So what if our boundaries seem to others as two poles of the magnet; But yet to us, We are glued by an invisible bond of gooey stuff that Goes beyond the superficial stuff Of colour and creed and cross, The ties that bind us do not depend on the eyes that see us, Love so feeling, kind and healing, Energizing and vibrating, Absorbing and melting, Into each other now and forever more!! © shaqila

So what?
I wish I never met you. Not out of hate but out of love. I wish you never showed me how it was to be happy. Because now that your not here... Alone to myself and my emptiness, an absence so deep it crushes me breathless. A love unfinished unappreciated undiscovered utterly uprooted. Without you I'm unloved. Without. Just me. Emptiness curbed by the hope your still waiting for me. Waiting upstairs - waiting, calling for me to come to bed. I long for that again. The need for a connection ... to you, to myself. A purpose to exist and care. When its just me in a room within, there is too much space. Just empty closets of your memories. Loaded gun of emotion with no target. Bound and compressed to dust. A diamond will arise from the ashes but not for you. Never again will I let you inside my expanse. Just to hurt me and watch me bleed. When you were in pain, my shoulder is where you lay. When you where happy, my eyes were your gaze. When you were in love, my chest your head fell. When you were lost, my heart you stayed. Now all that remains. When you pushed me away, beside you I stayed. Forever I could have been there, stepping through the mud. No hope, no love, no mud, no longer. Pain is double edged like your two faces. With one comes the other. One I never thought existed. One I never thought I'd see. One I can't let go of and dispel. One - a memory that deforms my existence. Understanding chaos is a never ending deployment. Lonely and expressionless with No muse for my fingers. No figure of beauty to adore endlessly. Trapped now within my prison of passion. A vessel to pour my unbound passion. An unlikely companion stifled immature and premature. Incapable, incompatible - irresistible. An unlikely companion clearly conceptual.

O, Ye samaria Harken unto us, For this is how far the Lord has brought us "We Gehazi" For By our afflictions Did thee left us In the stench over the gates of the city There We sat in our rags And wobbled in the burns of the fiery sun But When night invaded the peace of the sun Was the burns gobbled wholly Allowing the malicious cold breeze Pierce through our bones and marrow Like the arrows of the syrians Yet Now and then Will thy hearts Befriend compassion And serve us with the remains of thy garbages And yea, Their pungent aroma we gasp with delight And although,it came with a bruised satiety It curbed our curse and anxieties We were wasted,yet death feared to waste us whole But In the times When thy comforting abundance Was clutch and struck by thine enemies Did thy desperation for quench Plunge through our lungs and stomach Like Thee,we were hoist by famish Yet exceedingly And our souls will bleed relentlessly When we prayed and wept "Why sit we here until we die" There The spirit of the lord Descended in our midst O,we unclean And made us more valiant than thine armies We bacame conquerors of thine enemies When We stride Through the valleys Of the shadows of death And every step we made scaled our breath Yet through all,and Truth His rod comforted us And oblivious of our fate He set banquets in the tents Of our enemies Our rags did he made the finest robes And in our care did he bade their luxuries O, Ye doubtors and despaired samarians Harken unto us For we carry the glad tidings of the lord Behold! Ye all on this day Shall witness the great abundance Of the lord And testify his mighty works for all UNCLEAN 2 Kings 7 vrs 3 ©Historian E.Lexano

I’m ready Written with the help of the opening lyrics of Bad Company's "Ready for Love" “Walking down this rocky road” Pebbles stare like boulders Detouring my thoughts Blocking motions to feel Curbed by jagged ridges breathing “Wondering where my life is leading” Checking the map for intersections Wanting to find some sense of truth Written on an overpass In graffiti spray paint dreams “Rolling on to the bitter end” Following the signs Watching my sneakers tear Exposing flesh to the elements Of wandering longings “Finding out along the way” That things don’t last forever But where the shadows sit From the lost, the new Are waiting in the cool shade telling “What it takes to keep love living” And I listen, learning which each painful step Dragging my emotions behind me In a knapsack of desires Whispering out of breath “You should know how it feels, my friend” It is enlightening, burden lifting When I finally realized Someone is waiting at the end of that road For me because… “I'm ready for love”
