"destined" poems
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine

If You Forget Me
Sometimes your heart needs to be broken So you can see what's underneath, To the flicker and flame of your soul That you've always been destined to meet. Sometimes your spirit shines brighter Through the glimmering light of your tears, And when you arrive at the end of it all Love will outshine the darkest of years

Sometimes
You may see me struggle but you won't see me fall. Regardless if I'm weak or not I'm going to stand tall. Everyone says life is easy but truly living it is not. Times get hard, people struggle and constantly get put on the spot. I'm going to wear the biggest smile even though I want to cry. I'm going to fight to live even though I'm destined to die. And even though it's hard and I may struggle through it all. You may see me struggle... but you will NEVER see me fall.

You Will Never See Me Fall -Joyce Alcantara
you were the sunshine who loves the rain and i was the rain who loved you, my sunshine but even if opposites attract we can never really meet unless on a fateful event when we're destined to create a rainbow

sunshine and rain
Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer was leading a lonely life working nights at the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory where he was in charge of loading crates full of fukfoorfiffenfimmers, onto cargo cars destined for the city of Cincinnati. There was such a huge demand for fukfoorfiffenfimmers in the city of Cincinnati, poor Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer worked his hunnyhush to the bone. On one of his few holiday weekends, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer went to a hair salon for a trim. Here he was attended by a hairdresser named, Henrietta Huckhellopolis. Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer instantly fell for the husky-voiced hairdresser. Gaining enough gumption and gallasisgoppingguff needed to bypass beating around the bush of courteous courtship, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer asked Henrietta Huckhellopolis if she wanted to leerlumpaloomp later that evening. "I would love to leerlumpaloomp later this evening," she replied, batting her long lashes lustily. And how those two leerlumpaloomped! They leerlumpaloomped long through the night. They leerlumpaloomped so loudly, the neighbours ended up sticking stuffystoils into their sensilivities, in hopes of drowning out the noise. Nine months later, the lovers were blessed with a litter of lullaloonillies—wot with the loud leerlumpaloomping and all. But, of the seven lullaloonillies, four of them had two lumpalots instead of one. Bolstering himself against drowning in despair at the prospect of having sired freak lullaloonillies, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer helped design fukfoorfiffenfimmers especially meant for lullaloonillies who have two lumpalots instead of one. As the double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers were Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer's idea, the owner of the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory gave Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer a forty percent cut of the royalties. *Fortunately some fairy tales come with a happy ending, because the city of Cincinnati was hit with a record number of lullaloonillies born with two lumpalots instead of just the one. The high sales of double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers, enabled Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer and Henrietta Huckhellopolis to quit their jobs and buy into the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory. Yes, after getting married, Harry Heironymous and Henrietta Huckhellopolis-Huffenhoffer lived happily hever hafter. So did the lullaloonillies.... including those with two lumpalots instead of one.*

The river winds in from distant lands With mercyless power it turns stone to sand Through its mysterious life, the very earth it commands And Yet the fearful river still runs through our hands. In torrents of furry where the deepest currents flow The rivers wild waters surge with woe. For Onward, forever, its destined to go A permenant home it won't ever know. The river runs from each of us As a refugee of fear, It knows in a blink it will be somewhere else Its waves are really its tears. It runs from the audacity   Of the selfish human mind As Its massive life capacity, Of flora and fauna combined, Are threatened by our antics and helpless to our crime So the river runs on their behalf, from everyone, in time- even within its whitecap foam Water's yearning for a home So roam does the water- endlessly, till its long gone out of sight The essential droplets of the river- Nomads day and night.

From What the River Runs
A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns translation/interpretation/modernization by Michael R. Burch Oh, my love is like a red, red rose that's newly sprung in June and my love is like the melody that's sweetly played in tune. And you're so fair, my lovely lass, and so deep in love am I, that I will love you still, my dear, till all the seas run dry. Till all the seas run dry, my dear, and the rocks melt with the sun! And I will love you still, my dear, while the sands of life shall run.   And fare you well, my only love! And fare you well, awhile! And I will come again, my love, though it were ten thousand miles! Keywords/Tags: Robert Burns, red, rose, translation, modernization, update, interpretation, modern English, melody, tune, seas, dry, rocks, melt, sun, ten thousand miles Original Scots Dialect Poem: A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns O my Luve is like a red, red rose    That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve is like the melody    That’s sweetly played in tune. So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,    So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear,    Till a’ the seas gang dry. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,    And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; I will love thee still, my dear,    While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve!    And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my luve,    Though it were ten thousand mile. Hugh MacDiarmid wrote "The Watergaw" in a Scots dialect. I have translated the poem into modern English to make it easier to read and understand. A watergaw is a fragmentary rainbow. The Watergaw by Hugh MacDiarmid loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch One wet forenight in the sheep-shearing season I saw the uncanniest thing— a watergaw with its wavering light shining beyond the wild downpour of rain ... and I thought of the last wild look that you gave when you knew you were destined for the grave. There was no light in the skylark's nest that night—no—nor any in mine; but now often I've thought of that foolish light and of these more foolish hearts of men ... and I think that maybe at last I ken what your look meant then.

Glide your fingers down the railing As you make your grand ingression Meeting the faces you are destined to meet As they fasten their first impressions You are one to worry what they think And wonder how or why But, know that they have trained themselves To create facades and alibis They would be just as scared as you If they were the ones walking down that stair So hold your head up high, my dear As if you did not care

Self-Confidence
The failed seduction by drunken discussion and skunk fueled consumption, leads to a compunction dysfunction suspended in animation the digital tides of expulsion catapult me into a an eschewing propulsion and the limitations of re-imagination. As far as I was aware I was imprisoned in nothing more than the realms of Skype and FourSquare but for the Feng Shui of trapped energies and google-mapped memories adorning the locations of complacent hallucinations amid the dark fibre communications with a female of Nordic persuasion. The compliments and comments and poems I sent were lost to the myriad of random intent I was attempting to be clever and metaphysical she on the other hand was PHD level and psychoanalytical ergo my metrical composition was utterly lost in a conversation on metaphorical reproduction and the magic and mysteries of osmosis and the application of modification by transduction. The moral of this tale - if indeed there is one - is if you are going to Skype with a mentally superior type do not before hand have a blistering smouldering grass pipe with a flagon of ale lest you be a gibbering earthling destined to fail.

Failed Seduction by Drunken Discussion
Dearest Destined Jewel,                                          Of longest heartfelt yearning, Bestow on thee, Hamlet awaits, Ophelia picking flowers, Magnolia branches speaking, Beautifications of Spring. Supreme buds of new life,  Magnoliaceae of Queen bees, An enterprise of wonder, Symbolic child's enchanted play, Faeries in flight whisper attractions, Fondness, Les fleurs du mal. Ample blossoms, Bosoms of delight, Devouring light, Little birds sing, Nestling, Chirping a languishing cacophony, Blissful unawareness, Nature nurture the soul. A slip then fall, Nearby church bells distract, Into abyss fallen, Elevated body all at once, Floating amidst flora, Drowning, Petticoat woven dress, Resting on fresh valley water, Immersion, No contention, Hamlet awaits. © Sia Jane

Along with matching bands of gold and the blessings of their Lord, Two hearts begin a journey, their hearts, were destined to unfold. And the blessings of their Lord, will see them through hard times. Their hearts were destined to unfold, entwining as flowers on the vine. Will see them through hard times, the respect they afford each other. Entwining as flowers on the vine, teamwork will keep them together. The respect they afford each other, as the honeymoon grows cold, teamwork will keep them together. Their faith will see them through. As the honeymoon grows cold, two hearts begin a journey. Their faith will see them through, along with matching bands of gold.

Matching Bands Of Gold
I never felt like I belong here. No matter how hard I tried, I never belonged. Could it be I'm destined for something greater than life on this planet Or am I doomed to spend eternity with the latter? I wander across this land in search of who I am but it seems there is no answer no where in sight. Am I suppose to quit this journey or continue to walk in denial? How long must I endure this nightmare til I finally wake up and face "reality"? At the night's commencement, memory of this life drifts away into the forgotten stream. I can taste the answers but the moment I begin to relish in its delicacy, it fades from my grasp. What is left for a king whose kingdom has fallen?

Lost in this Sad Dimension
Feelings, the treasure of ones heart, A flame, cast ablaze by the purity of righteousness, warm alike sunlight, yet not as burning or uncomfortably hot if exposed too long, As embracing, as a motherly tugging hug, full of love and dearness, It feels so gentle, like a soft breeze, sweetly touching the blossoming petals, after a soft rain pours water over their delicate, little bodies, So warm, as if enlightment were close to reach beyond the border of consciousness, growing strong and happy, alike a peach tree, Celestial is what it tastes like, sweeping over my transience in awe, It is but an emotion, which would soften a stone hard heart and make it alike cotton and wonderfully sweet as candy from amongst heaven, Inner peace, served on a golden plate behind a courtain of sunlight, describing the greatest pleasure,your drink and thankfulness for what you have, without greed, the desire to have more, despising violence, And even though humans will keep on living, such whilst being in a wretched, poor state, destined to fight on and hope for the better, Living, is what I find very beautiful. ~ Umi

Flaming Soul
I couldn’t be around you without feeling as if my world was crashing down. Twice I walked away but you kept holding onto me. Your love dominating, controlling, and reckless. For us both ‘WE’ became an addiction.   Our physical connection creating a real emotional entanglement.   The intimacy escalated not with your love and respect rather with your insatiable ****** desires and deceit. You came closer to me than anyone ever had. To say that we were totally engaged, consumed with each other would gravely understate what you did not only to my body, but also to my soul. It was a crazy love. When your presence met mine. I’d forgotten the meaning of peace of mind. Self-respect had flown away, integrity fallen by the wayside. I didn’t know who I was with you. I didn’t know who I was without you. Yet, I couldn’t leave… Even though deep in my unconscious I knew 'WE' were wrong. My addiction wouldn’t let me go, your addiction wouldn't let me go. And I stayed… Your behavior came so close to crushing my spirit, my will to live. In your compulsion to protect your deception you abandoned me, my life hanging on by a thread, I could not sleep or eat, I could not breathe. It was like being in a coma that I was fighting to survive. With intensive professional help I was forced out of the coma. I survived. Now I see I stayed, not because I loved you I stayed because I didn’t love me. Passion kept me bound. Truth be told, to be totally honest I stayed out of fear, fear of missing the passion. But now I know I’d rather be alone… than shackled by the anguish and drama you swore was love. As the synapses of my brain reconnect, the evidence of controlling emotional abuse, of possessive manipulation, overwhelms my mind and body. I see now I wasn’t built, wasn’t ready to understand your type of love. I can’t deal, can’t bear, don’t deserve, your emotional betrayal and abuse. I have kept your secret for you to tell. A secret I will never betray. Now no longer together locked in by your silence, perpetuating the manipulation, forever destined in your secret, your abuse continues.

To my friends who can write fresh-smelling bouquets of words with splendid color, I offer my envy. Mine are the blunt, stunted words, rooted in the cracks in pavement, or forcing their way to light around overbearing rocks. Some useful in their own way, edible or flavorful, some with a pedestrian beauty, but few that one would bring home in a bunch with a box of candy. More appropriate in a grimy, young fist crumpled in love, destined to be vased in a water glass by a doting mother, or shredded petal by petal for the sake of soothsaying... he loves me, he loves me not.

on a sea strand, have you watched empty shells mercilessly tossed from sea to shore and from shore to sea?        often I shrink and reduce to such a shell, with jagged and broken edges colorless and empty among many a debris cast on the shore, i lie half buried under the sand waiting for some mighty wave to wash me away all the way to the sea how tedious is my voyage shuttling from him to her and from her to him unable to openly confess who weighs more on the balance of preference through how many alleys and by ways I have wandered, questioning my identity! am I a puffer fish, being toxic the fisher men have discarded? a jarring note in a discordant symphony? I wonder....! I often ask myself! destined to grow in mercurial climes, planted in arid shallow soil with the tap root trimmed, branches pruned, growth denied, I, a stunted bonsai! still I dream to be a towering tree, that in profusion gives fruits and shade! a ****** aspiring to be a Goliath a hollow reed, longing at once to be the singer and the song!

Bonsai
Onion, luminous flask, your beauty formed petal by petal, crystal scales expanded you and in the secrecy of the dark earth your belly grew round with dew. Under the earth the miracle happened and when your clumsy green stem appeared, and your leaves were born like swords in the garden, the earth heaped up her power showing your naked transparency, and as the remote sea in lifting the ******* of Aphrodite duplicating the magnolia, so did the earth make you, onion clear as a planet and destined to shine, constant constellation, round rose of water, upon the table of the poor. You make us cry without hurting us. I have praised everything that exists, but to me, onion, you are more beautiful than a bird of dazzling feathers, heavenly globe, platinum goblet, unmoving dance of the snowy anemone and the fragrance of the earth lives in your crystalline nature.

Ode To The Onion
There are grapes in my path This abundant trail now invisible as if we never were Here, to pick and preen, salvage and reap for pleasure and pain I picked you some flowers, I baked you a pie, labors of love with your own hands connected to earth. Breaking backs, and clinging sweat Under wool, denim, straw, and cotton Keeping more out than simply the sun Depleted soil Exhausted soul Bursting with juice Bountiful and hand chosen And you in a hurry just drive by Dust in the wind Skin of clay mud Day after day, A boulder among the rows Hunched in fields Blistered and callused Searching for more Ripe for the picking Migrants moving Servitude by season Benevolent harvest Handpicked strawberries By chocolate covered hands destined from birth closer to earth.

Stars sprinkle the inky night sky Like crumbs of diamonds on a still, midnight ocean. I am not afraid to be here, alone, In the vastness of twilight. For these few moments, time is as long As the space between those stars, And as empty, too. The uncertainty that sunrise will follow. As sure as the sun is destined to rise everyday, When there's only darkness surrounding you, Pierced slightly by the silvery glow of moonlight... You're all alone and helpless. You only have the vague hope that the sun will return. And as I sit here now, star-gazer, Faceless nomad on the damp grass; I feel immortal, and I am afraid That I will always be alone with the stars.

I scream to drown the noise,             And fight to hold my poise Against this sonic wave             That dismantles and destroys. This place that I called home…             It’s all that’s left of what I own. I fear I’m destined to the desert,            Or somewhere desolate to roam. Tried to convince my brain this wasn’t real –            That lies are all I feel. I’m not sure why I fear this noise;            There’s nothing left for it to steal.                         -         -         - Yet, I plug my ears and scream;          Tear the stitching from my seams . . . I find it difficult to sleep,          And near-impossible to dream. I scream so hard it makes me sweat, And my skin begins to gleam                         *This heat turns smiles into tears,                          Like water into steam* My head begins to ache. My hands begin to shake. If I chose the wrong path,              I made one hell of a mistake. While my lungs still permit,              I’ll keep their volume set on high, Lifting my head to the clouds,              To scream at the sky. I have yet to hear an answer,         And while I’m not much of dancer I learned some steps from Lady Luck         In hopes to cure me of this cancer.                         -         -         - Now, I don’t believe in luck – But she still left me with something . . . While we danced I took notice; The noise dulled slightly to a humming. I looked back to Lady Luck – and I’m sure this wasn’t just a dream – But she had vanished to the air,                              Like water into steam. I said “I don’t believe in luck.” She still left me something, though. She said:                    *“You can’t predict the world –                       I assume this much you know…                       But if a farmer plants a seed,                       In that spot, a plant will grow.”* One day, my throat gave out. For no longer, could I shout. And I don’t believe in luck,              So I was simply left with doubt. I cursed that lady’s words. I told myself that she was crazy.        When something caught my eye…        There - at my feet - grew a daisy. A daisy… In the desert… So despite how bad my head hurt, I thanked God for Lady Luck.          I thanked God that I had met her. The noise I heard was her opposite.                It was the presence of chance. I've learned the farmer can’t predict the world, But, as surely as seeds grow into plants . . .                      My only choices are my actions.                      So, I think I’ll take today to dance.

I stand here; outside my balcony amidst darkness in the company of loneliness My soul impertaburbly trapped between forlornness and peacefulness Yin and Yang perhaps, Forlorn because the soul, wounded and damaged perniciously by loneliness.. And peace; because the herb... well the herb heals to some extent My vessel the arena On a forbidden course Yang battles Yin the odds are in his favor THC to Yin is like aconite to wolves; And so he weakens with every hit The melee ends like it was destined to tranquil and pure bliss prevail At that moment; the wind starts to sing her song Calling, whistling to his lover the king of the night she whistles a beautiful song that sounds of a gentle breeze zephyr like pushing aside clouds that guard his majesty; grandiosely his image is revealed in the nightlife Observe they all gather under the nightsky; selenophiles far away from each other all in different worlds but it's this energy that coheres them here together The wind starts to sing the song of halcyon, ogling at the moon in veneration and exhilaration selenophiles danced away into the night.
