"derailing" poems
The oceanic wind did not rescind but instead it found its form. Gathering in strength and gaining much in length at the centre of the storm. Building attitude it would not exclude from the frigate sailing true. But with its destination now a defication the seas discarded with the crew. Land-Ho, it came, did this hurricane bringing with it such a wave. Like none had ever seen was this water screen that was bound to misbehave. Throwing all aside like an unruly bride who was aiming to get her way. And what lay ahead was a heap of dead as the big one came to play. On its way inward it had done no good to the vessells on the sea. Throwing craft around and causing men to drown it wasn't going to let them be. Breaching many shores like unruly ****** the waves would spread there grisly pox. From the nearest beach to the out of reach destination of inland docks. Catastrophe - spelt with a capital C was the headlines in the news. Every seaside place had a weary face that was filmed by camera crews. People died that day many swept away as the nearest towns did flood. Even tracks were failing with the trains derailing while water washed away the blood.   Many homes were wrecked as they did disconect and the oceans did divorce. With those like you and me as they watched TV as the waters swam there course. Many got up high and watched their fellows die on this day that would not be. Forgotten very soon as before high noon we were dismantled by the sea. It's all over now and we will somehow continue with our lives. We'll bury our dead and we'll count the heads of our lost husbands and wives. They'll be laid to rest and we'll then invest in the massive clear away. But when that wind gets up it'll hit us in the gut but all we can do is pray. The world cannot be tamed and does not feel ashamed when it strikes from out of the blue. However we prepare nature doesn't care and will do what it must do. We think we're in control but we're just on parole from what nature has to throw. And we'll hope that day never comes our way but we can never really know.

Those sleepless summer nights Sweat pouring from every crack In thinly layered sunburnt skins It was all panties-on-the-floor Blood-on-the-sheets And ******* Living out highschool fantasies Like the cool kids Life before 22 was all a dream Of midsummer swelter and Salt water In the mind of the dog Chained up in the universe's yard Tethered to the ether world Racing rabbits through space While I was turned into an *** Staring at the mirror And my expressionless face *This must be how cancer feels Growing increasingly smaller In a world where cabinets And aspirations grow increasingly taller She met the devil For coffee on diagnosis day But the deal they made didn't take Her hair fell out And her body atrophied anyway She found herself Floating far far away Her blood coagulating like A broken thermometer Of mercury* Salvador Dali painted this fall The house of salvatore Minds gone to roost under warm eaves Staring fireplaces Hungry couches and singing windows It's all ******* drooping like clocks And derailing thoughts The local biddies Cluck their tongues At the absurdity of infinity And the girl in Ace Hardware Buying shoepolish to hide her tan lines Yawns, as her boyfriend feels her up *Meanwhile I collapse Like a house of cards with a flick of the wrist Thinking about life's mathematical beauty*

Surrealism
Passing over mountains and forging over fords slipping though forests filled with dappled shapes, the Coward-King makes his escape His heart is beating and his mind is fleeing As behind Him burns all he has ever known His kingdom ablaze His cities razed Fields salted books torn and statues melted His people fighting in the ruins dying ,trying, to let this not be the end Flee Coward-King as your nature becomes known as the mailed fist torches your own. **** whats been done! the Great Enemy has come! the dread Master of a dark and terrible horde and his servants seek you with ****** swords Dark Knights on vile steeds Grim men of black heart Exiles and renegades each eager to do his part To bring you low to make sure you reap what you've sown Can you hear the hounds a baying? Neath the trees swaying was that the sound of horses neighing? The shadows playing Your wits derailing, Coward-King, Your fortress walls have failed and your flight will be to no avail

Writers Block (1)
Smells like Gun Powder in the empty room tainted by the aura of damaged memories feeling my armor worn out and weary going down the stairs, the lights are fading warm blood in my hands like a distant afternoon I'll ride shotgun with a shotgun like in the old days and we'll make a right turn on memory lane just make sure to stop at every corner  so I can blast your remembrance away.   Smells like Gun Powder on my side of the bed where for the hundred time you ask if I'll be ok I wish I had some Whisky, it sure is wishful thinking in my dreams I am always sober, somehow never drinking quite the opposite of the real life I lead I can always count on my nightmares to always find you here in our worn out bed fully clothed facing the window and your face clenched in sorrow is a moving talking picture.   It's pouring down again in the forgotten ghost city we take a turn towards oblivion, where you surprised to see me? under the leaves of an old tree contrasting the projects brick buildings incessant rain flows from our eyes like a fluent turbulent river   wondering if I should build an ark or if it would be worth the pain and take a wild shot in the dark and save us both from this fast sinking boat how did we even navigated the sea of love without lifesavers to keep us afloat?   How did we lost what was so hard find? Smells like gun powder every second of my life my emotional ammo gets packed on an old Colt 45 a revolver that turns back the hands of time I'll measure every word, retracing every step,  without derailing my train of thought inhaling the gun powder like the ashes of this love trying to give my Spotless Mind Eternal Sunshine at long last in the basement tied to a chair I came to find myself... barely clutching my fate in one hand  and what's left of my conscience on the shelf.

"Smells Like Gun Powder"
Smells like Gun Powder in the empty room tainted by the aura of damaged memories feeling my armor worn out and weary going down the stairs, the lights are fading warm blood in my hands like a distant afternoon I'll ride shotgun with a shotgun like in the old days and we'll make a right turn on memory lane just make sure to stop at every corner  so I can blast your remembrance away.   Smells like Gun Powder on my side of the bed where for the hundred time you ask if I'll be ok I wish I had some Whisky, it sure is wishful thinking in my dreams I am always sober, somehow never drinking quite the opposite of the real life I lead I can always count on my nightmares to always find you here in our worn out bed fully clothed facing the window and your face clenched in sorrow is a moving talking picture.   It's pouring down again in the forgotten ghost city we take a turn towards oblivion, where you surprised to see me? under the leaves of an old tree contrasting the projects brick buildings incessant rain flows from our eyes like a fluent turbulent river   wondering if I should build an ark or if it would be worth the pain and take a wild shot in the dark and save us both from this fast sinking boat how did we even navigated the sea of love without lifesavers to keep us afloat?   How did we lost what was so hard find?

You say you're proud you're clean today Yet you go back to your old ways I look at you and see it's a reflection Of my selfish days and I realize it's me who's changed There's two of us inside my head Fighting for the chance to live A wolf inside of my own brain No wonder it's so difficult This war within my mind I wage No wonder I can't even think Straight when the two halves of my heart Decide to break apart and All I'm left with is the broken parts Lying on the asphalt Freeway crashes in my head Locomotives in my brain Is it my thoughts or is it a migraine It's all the same I'm on a train Going no specific place Failing Derailing I desperately want it to be a dream Maybe if I stop thinking It will all just go away Drown my thoughts with mindless Music so I lose track of the pain Understand My motives aren't insane They're just a little out of place I look at my reflection I can't even recognize the face Time to make amends Attempt to fix the broken things Shattered pieces vaguely Remind me of all the times my wings Failed me I need somebody to save We can get a little crazed When we don't know when to stop And I will crack open Pandora's box And let the contents out Right about the hour that I find the clock has lost it's power Sour consciousness distracts me from the task that is at hand Focus on the destination And enjoy the journey It will never go as planned But we can plan to make it worth it [ARH]

Ode to Thought
Mic check. Mic check. I know you hear what I'm saying but are you listening? There's a difference in hearing and actually listening. I inform you of my day and the demons I'm slaying. Yet, you change the subject like passing periods. Fast and furiously, far more than seven times You've disregarded my troubled mind. To talk about others problems all as if they were mine. Actions that drive me far away from my eternal sunshine. Only to leave me far behind. to realize that our love is blind And that it may not be love at all. Mic check mic check testing One,two,three. Are you listening to me or are you just hearing me. Mic check mic check testing one,two,three. I show you love Why can't you show me? Why can't you show me? I know you hear what I'm saying but are you listening? There's a difference in hearing and actually listening. Your actions are prohibiting me from giving you factual conditioning of my love and how I'm feeling. Silent as the night they are. Derailing my train of thought. This is why I hold **** in like a reservoir. And you begin to wonder why I'm so angry and bizarre. It's like I'm talking to myself and I'm locked behind bars. Oh well, I guess I'm going crazy again. Self indulging with drugs just to feel loved again. So far gone when you knock you can't get in. Smoke fills the temple that my soul sits in because Im at my wits end. All because you struggle to take the time to comprehend. Mic check. Mic check. Drop what the **** you are doing this is a sound check. It's just you and I and our hearts on deck. I will do my best to hear what you have to get off of your chest. I just hope when I'm next you set your pride aside to hear what's on my mind. Mic check mic check testing One,two,three. Are you listening to me or are you just hearing me. Mic check mic check testing one,two,three. I show you love Why can't you show me? -Klash

Waking thoughts Lyrics to a song Shuffle through the playlist Find the perfect one. Too many can describe My mental alibi So I just take a little time For the lyrics to fill my mind. Growing up there was no blue sky rhyme Metallica, pink Floyd and the cure Were the ones to describe my youthful shrine. Older plays Took some blues away How is it that I wasn't born In the Woodstock age? The doors, temptations, Jim Croce Carol king God! It's so godly when they sing. Then I had to hit that puberty Like a brick to the face Picking out my own musical taste. Adema, korn, Dresden dolls, tool. Stone sour, shinedown, nine inch nails Stone temple pilots and more as well. Give me lyrics that could scream All the screaming out of me. Little did I know that in my scene I thought my music was defining me. I'm not music. Just flesh and bone Maybe I should expand my treble tone. Throw some chicks in there, you know? No one should have a song on repeat And have that be the song you hear when we meet. So I searched for some musical relief I enjoy a good scream sometimes But that's not all I breathe. Some motion city, say anything, Yeah I like akon, lady sovereign, A perfect circle and deftones Classical Mozart and Beethoven makes me feel right at home. Silver mt Zion, some Phillip glass, Michael nyman, now I've achieved some class. Pink when I feel like pop or brass Punch guys in the **** cause I'm a chick Hell yes! No not really. The **** part, I mean. But I actually really do like pink. Jon Bon jovi or Otis redding When I want to think of this guy that I'm loving. I might have lost track of the lyrics I was originally thinking But with my selection I'm derailing With musical tasting.

Considering some pages I've covered, quite immersed I can be in nonsense. Nonsense, immaterial.. Nonsense, derailed.. Nonsense, abnormal.. Nonsense, beauty.. Nonsense, imperfection.. Nonsense, is doglike.. Doglike is godlike... Yeah, thought crime, alot of things considered too sacred to ponder.. that's the program, the matrix.. But with poetry, THOUGHT CRIME is godly. Thought crime.. is the universal law of creation. the wonders of the world are born. Civilization is born. Solutions are discovered. Guilty and escape or innocent and bound. Your choice. DOG. Dog is uncleanness yet godlike in all ramifications. Jealousy. Longing.. Pure.. Loving.. Ever accommodating.. Protective.. Peaceful.. Violent.. Kind.. But most important it's ever forgiven and never complaining.. It's the friend I crawl back to after given up myself to the sharp edges of sins, as others fled seeing me down with bruises, it cleans my sores without disdain and accompanies me. Can you be with a MAD man. He asked.? Mad Not in violence, MAD in words.. MAD in poetry.. Oh mad, Have he just unlocked the portal..? Making a difference with words is the "IKIGAI". Orders might follow suit, Breakdown one.. Two in the process.. Immersed in nonsense finding it hard to discover myself in the sense.. The MAD lines.. First timer in the MAD lines, old-timer in the LOVE and SORROW lines.. MAD lines are.. Sensitive... Creative. Adaptive. In-Sanity.. Unsensored.. Derailing.. Dark humor.. Lies... Liers can't make heaven they say, But even when he lies he made it to heaven... Why lit candles while going to the source of light, little ounce... Are u trying to compare your Shadow with God's? Shadow.. An object coming between a ray of light and a surface. The twist is in the rays of light and the surface, which do you belong..? Don't understand? You are not meant to, just flow along the lines.. Until you get to the end of the rope just then a glimpse of light might appear, Hold on to the rope.. Hold... The breathe. The courage. The life.. Yeah, hold, hold on to these lines Coz you might miss them someday..

Oh Indian, Old Indian, You Navajo talker With your words unknown A language lost to those pale ivory devils With the coarse yellow manes They came in believing they Could tame your wild heart Beating beyond ages and Derailing decayed cities Buildings burn by your name And you go with the wind Oh Indian, Old Indian You have ghosts dancing in your eyes Tracing trails of tears Down your war-ravaged cheeks Enchanting oracles and psychic chasms Into smoke on the water Caught on fire Humming a lullaby about a wolf's lonesome cry Frozen nights and woven dreams Oh Indian, Old Indian You carve hearts, revealing blood Tasting of magic deaths And one thousand lives silenced With one war whoop A river runs through you It is and was again an eternal Thing with a passion one Could only imagine Fly away by the feathers of your headdress An ancient Icarus Oh Indian, Old Indian When will you return again?

Where the hell is the slow train that lets me enjoy the ride! Everything is moving so fast my eyes cannot keep up My heart on a steep slide I have applied my breaks but still we collide I have asked to slow down and switch gears but there is no derailing your obsession and this my biggest fear! This ride we have been on- your standing so close I cannot rightly even see you. I have had no chance to sit back and take anything in Everything is moving too fast and I need a strap on my chin That type of ride is not what I am looking for Where the hell is my slow ride with ease and relaxed view? I want time to reflect and understand more than the surface of you But the gears will not change, the ride won't slow down So I will get off this train in the smallest of **** towns As long as I have space for myself without the guilt or a frown I will hang my traveling hat up and sit down

A countdown pronounce peace How you ever watch a butterfly sing? Possibly the eyelid seeks redemption through a twilight Pressure points incubate the seriousness of forgiveness The world turns a page inside the pain of child lost in the wind Predictions cause traditions unveil reality The standard finally arrived, stronger manuscript of heaven Passion between solaces came through a whisper The host intrigues by the road, Feathers contemplate the last breath from a princess Seeking the life missing from childhood Sadness embraces winds blowing a symphony of passion Time stood with expectation of retreat to my realm Since I was invincible, the harpoon crosses the finish line The lighthouse watches the fire rise through thoughts of Indecency, A collaboration of hands holds the secret of sadness I can still hear the wind crying out to the heavens Forcing myself to sleep from a nightmare brewing in the air Crystal clear the night unveil my nakedness Sitting beside the moon, where did I leave her heart? Inside reside the yearning desire of reaching for the stars Granted a syllabus with sharp edge pointing at the sun Transparency holds my hand Walk behind A shield derailing stray bullet from piercing my shamefulness The life of unsung heroes, the reality of dreams can be overwhelming Right after the door is shout, slowly descent a crucial impression of truthfulness Bring back that cat eye’s steering at my rear view mirror Exactly at the right moment I open my soul… Rony Joseph all rights reserved 2010

I always knew it in my heart, That so beloved woman wouldn't wish for me, to grieve endlessly, But to the contrary, Celebrate the beautiful of life, By keeping her gift alive in my healthy half. But I saw myself derailing, So many hours, So many days, So many weeks, So many months, So many years, and spiraling, Out of control. Today I make a conscious choice, Instead of thinking about that hurt, And fueling my own pain and misery. I invest my efforts into doing good, Putting smiles on people's faces, I enjoy it, as it uplifts my soul, And feeds my peaceful faith, To love beyond my own voice.

Silver lining beyond every painful clouds
You reached for my hand and I bowed my head it'd take too much energy to touch you and although we are both forsaken I'd rather face cold rejection Then stand beside you You're merely a reminder of the constant abrupt change derailing my life and yes I work out of spite and harbor resentment more than the next crossed lass I'm guessing I just cant give in to a lie a trick and happiness isn't built upon shame and illness So when I caught cupid pinching my *** you best believe my hoof gave him quite the blast never say never? ...never with you

Undesirable
Billowed down onto natures bust a face full of dirt a mouth full of maggots corpsing coercion onto frantic plates slopping up the juicy details derailing off the tracks into a new train of nature, saving only what comes of value yet, you don't save yourselves. Lucrative hands slithering softly by ready to steal your life with just a touch how much are you worth? Unfortunately, nothing.

Soft
Today I'm filled with muted optimism Something not often seen skulking around my peripheral. Some retail therapy and a ***** free day. I write you blinded, literally, consumerism blaring, shining RED in my eye. My new shoes and sparkly chemical incentives sitting comfortably on my feet and in the back of my skull respectively you know? Just above my nape. The weekend is over. That person has left, incised from delicate parts where hurt feels more justified than starving children and diseased refugees, "oh so woe is me" avoided. We shouldn't have gone skiing together, the snow was far from ready. The passengers leapt from the derailing train, terrified of sludgy wet slopes. This time around I won't let them come so close. Stiff arm, no more than three. No more poems for you, or freedom for me.

This time around
Light upon the light High atop the high Let the lucky brow Paradise shines May your most beautiful eyes Cast a glance! Let it light up   A candle in front of the mirror.   Ah, wild glimpses—   Ultimately nuanced,   An enduring treasure,   Eternity in shadow,   Gently showing up.   Dear, the buzz is all in bloom.   Without one, nothing is whole.   The sun scrolls down in sizzling gold,   Never derailing, never sliding back,   Looping into the shrouded night.   The color is half full, half light,   Hues reflecting a zillion stars.   Time moves in discovery,   Ever burning the midnight oil—   The humble moon,   Lingering beneath your midnight-black locks.   The color, the fire—will it be the first to spot   Your veiled face, the true morning rose?

The Day's Shadow Genius
. Labyrinth in my head... Set in heavy stone. Brightens not, siphons instead. The dark gnawing at skin and bone. Labyrinth in my heart... Rerouting purpose and derailing reason. I'm together but pulled apart. I've won most days... But today I'm beaten. .

Labyrinth
Computer screen pulsating With a blue feeling of vulnerability. There is a death in the hours wasted Cast in the trashbin outside existence. The soon to be lost addresses you From afar like an old childhood friend. Computer screen claiming To know where’s your place of belonging, An alienation parasite feeds on The frontal lobes of your brain. The soon to be lost is sweet and loving Prepares for you shelters from life. Computer screen deforming features Claiming to know, to care deeply Unloading promises, nurturing futures, A basic means against routine and apathy. The soon to be lost is aggressive, Fighting is futile! Computer screen derailing The sight into a state of numbness. Simple! Easy! Fast! It’s done! Efficiency by the bucket-load. The soon to be lost is scary, Corroding from within all possibilities. Computer screen misleading eyes With a bleak mist of wonder Only the oracles can keep asking questions Or googling answers. The soon to be lost, a warning The internal walls – collapsing. Computer screen, devastating Disease for the billions to come No survivors permitted! A crisis’ peak! Men hung themselves to find peace. The soon to be lost is weird and tactless. Are you burning? If your brain’s not on fire You’re not burning enough.

The Soon to be Lost
I've been in love many times, And if there's one thing I know, it's my heart. (Some days I think that's the only thing I'm sure of.) I know my heart. And I know I seem to believe in things that stand little chance And I know you don't want to see me hurting And I know I have heard the same tired ******* warning From everyone who loves me But listen here, I also know my heart. And I'm telling you that it doesn't work any other way. I'm telling you, dear, that if it wasn't you when we met It won't ever be. I'm telling you that it's not an option for me to just Change my mind And love somebody new just cause it's hard sometimes to be what I am. You look at me like you're ready to see me crash and burn but What you don't know, darling, is that I've done all that. I've been there, where you think I'm off to, And if I trip my way back to hell, I will claw my way out again. You say you know the feeling That you've learned, like you've been cured. I think you quit. You say you're like me But I think you only Used to be. You wanna protect yourself, hold back, shut down? That might work for you But that's not how I work. I don't care how many times you look at me loving her Like you'd look at a train derailing, I see it in your face, but You don't know. I've crashed and burned and suffered, and I'm back, and I will always Come Back. And I know you'd rather I pick someone close, someone sure, Maybe you. It could be easy, it could be safe, it could be- No it couldn't. It's not you. And you better ask yourself before you push too hard- Why would I ever take this kind of chance again If I didn't know it was worth it? I know my heart. I know myself. I know I don't just turn things off. I love someone? I'm in it for the long run. And if it's you, it's you all the way. And if it's not, Nothing in the world can change that, Even if I try my hardest. You can tell me all day how it won't ever work out, You can give me reasons to doubt and give up, You can offer to be my Girl Friday and I might even accept, But Honey One thing I know about myself is this: You're not gonna get my heart Unless it rips itself out of my chest and follows you home.

I’m in the back seat of our car. My parents are angry with me, They’re upset. I didn’t do as I was told. I messed up, Failed them in some way. I don’t remember how I guess it doesn’t matter. I clamp my mouth shut It feels good to do so. A satisfying spread of pain, It shoots through my teeth and gums. But then Suddenly, My teeth giveaway. They’re wobbling, A crack and split of pain Spreading through my mouth. A tooth on the bottom row, My tongue pushes it out, And now I can see it on the floor. I try and stop, But my teeth Mouth, Gums They’re all on a derailing train, And I don’t know how to stop it. I try and cry for help, Let my parents know that something is wrong, Pop Rip Crack Two more fall to my feet, A tiny pile of bones starting to gather. My parents look back at me, Disdain on their face. What kind of daughter can’t control her own teeth? Tears are spilling down my face, Blood crawling down my chin, I’m ruined. Absolutely done. Who would want a girl with no teeth? Please let this be a dream. Please let this be a dream. Please let this be a dream. I’m holding my mouth now, Trying to keep my teeth in. My tongue searches for full rows of teeth, And instead finds holes. This has to be a dream. This has to be a dream. If this is a dream, Why can’t I wake up? I am trapped in this car, My teeth trickling out, One by one, Out of my mouth and on to the floor, And finally, The train runs straight off the cliff. My jaw slams shut, It was an accident, I didn’t mean to, Bits and pieces of broken teeth fill my mouth, I can feel blood, Rushing to fill the space left unfilled by teeth. I try to cry out, My parents, They’ll be angry, I’ll embarrass them if I don’t have teeth, I have to fix this, But my cry is a gargle. Tooth and blood spill from my mouth when I try to speak, Sputtering on to the back of the passenger seat in front of me. This has to be a dream. I’ve had this dream before, This has to be a dream. I can’t wake up, I’m trapped in this car, My own mouth betraying me. Please let this be a dream. Please let this be a dream.

You make my head feel like I've been pounding it against a concrete wall, how many hands do I need to count the number of people I share you with? You make my hands shake, you make my heart race like a train, you're the conductor and we're derailing from the tracks as we speak.

Train Tracks
*Your need is a knife, Sometimes a chainsaw. It cuts at my shoulders, The bones in my arms, Some days it's quite greedy, Wanting a share of my soul, Dissecting a chamber or two of my heart. You eagerly want to drink my sanity, To dehydrate me of any positivity, Till life seeps through me and into you, And osmosis makes us even, Two distorted figures with no aim, That's when you can sleep. I'm afraid we can't both reside in my fraying body, You weigh a million unsaid words, And my spine isn't strong enough To keep pushing us through your derailing paths.*
