"detonation" poems
a body filled with familiar dread you might say my body is already dead my head is said to be quite fretful took moments of quietude for granted; and now i’m constantly regretful the restlessness of my emotions address my state of mind and the distressed thoughts run around my head like guerrilas they know they are running out of time my jittery heart runs rampant like a broken clock and my only wish is for all of this to stop the apprehension creates a detonation a complete eradication of my elation because my body is filled with familiar dread and my body feels like it’s already dead

Tick tock, Tick tock, Tock Tock ticking Clocks cluck, catching curious cries Several seconds slide, slowly sticking Eclectic evil ever eager to eat out eyes Tock tock, tick tick Tock danger dances down, depicting doom Hands hold hearts heavily in hock aren't all able to articulately assume? Clock is currently counting costs justifying jumps and juggling jacks tabulating time that is tossed lightening liberal lust and loving lax tick tick tick, tick tick tick destination is a detonation despised tock tock tock, tock tock tock sheep sleep soundly shrouded, so surprised

Tick Tock, Counts the Clock (alliteration)
*In memory of, and with respect to the victims of the 2011 terrorist acts in Norway. As the weather resembles, one remembers...* Perhaps if you went to my school, You'd have gotten beaten up for your egocentricity Long before it grew to such deranged preportions. As misplaced as the runes you carved into Glock and rifle; You'd have been not only estranged, but broken. Disarmed decades before detonation. Alas. A distorted berserker you ploughed through Establishments and hearts; an armed teenager fuelled on Video games, soft candy and steroids. Pity the nation that nurses such an unpoetic national enemy. We forgot your name and face, as you never knew ours. The symbol we chose was an ocean of roses, Like torches held to our love unharmed. Norwegian leap year two-thousand-eleven; Only twenty-two days in July.

Norwegian Leap Year
When I'm near you I'm anxious. At any moment I can explode. A coloration of floral hues printed across the sky, Covering you; the night. Appropriately expanding. A sizzle awaiting detonation. Catapulted high. Nothing to do but fall. Fall in love with you. Plummeting down unable to sit still. Your hand the stripe that surrounds me. Stars; echo in a crackle. Change is inevitable. The glory of being held close, Counting every second until we burst into pieces. Wandering around your essence. Wandering in turquoise yellows & purple strawberries exhaled in smoke. The moon forever jealous Every night July everlasting. The closer I get to you

But Fall
Atomic energy is a good thing contemplated the good scientist But only for us good people to forget Lincoln's, Hemingway's and Madame Curie's silent voices echoes from the sidewalk Where people idly passes by; lost in tall low fat Frappuccino’s Looking and hoping then ultimately wishing for a visit from Benjamin Franklin Unwittingly employed by all the dead presidents These days’ people know the price of everything But the value of nothing Makes me gallivant; my own memory warehouse As I pose this question towards my own psyche; What is the worst thing I have ever done? In the name of personal achievement career elevation and prosperity All everyone ever wants to be is successful rich and richer Oppenheimer colleague put our modern society in to perfect perspective Post detonation of the Trinity project - after the first nuclear test When he gracefully quoted "Now we are all son of *******

People (we are all son of *******
Your taste runs like kerosene in my veins, Our kisses, heated, sending my insides aflame; I spontaneously combust, lover. Skin to skin, your mouth is concentrated sin You make lose my morals, the lust is building; Blinding, my pupils burn; Yours darken with something primal, tensions thickening; The anticipation's sinking right into my gut, I feel your touch calloused fingertips dancing up my thighs, teasing. Your body glistening with sweat, trailing down south I follow the track hungrily with my mouth but it doesn't seem enough. Our hearts beat fast like the ticking of a timebomb nearing detonation; We're going to detonate, my love. We're going to burst in fancy colors like fireworks gone haywire, the bed is our sky. We're going to get lost among the sheets, like sailing across familiar seas. The moonlight, dangerously bright they seem to shine from your eyes but they darken with something like clouds on a stormy night. And I'm not sure if there really is a God but tonight I kept calling his name yours interspersed in between heavy breathing, our pants sounding like broken notes of some orchestrated masterpiece and the crescendo's nearing. Our pulse following the rising melody I am mesmerized, out of control I am lost amidst the euphoria right now with you

I do not believe in fairytales, so be straight, Experience was present, and it's worth the faith. I do not want to rely, on repeating hopes in oblivion, If promises were prayers, I don't have religion. Continuing is just a self-detonation, prolonging the agony, blaming myself, living life hard sadly. I am seeing the inequality, on every angle and scopes, sometimes I am thinking hanging my neck on the ropes. and as I blame, negative tendency, occurs. comes, sudden, unexpectedly. but, when I see you, negativity's gone, my inspiration's overflowing, keeps me away from frown. but, when I see you, my depth dissapears, and all of a sudden, I want to lend an ear, but, when I'm with you, my heart skips a beat, I step out of my seriousness, in your cup, I sitdown and take a sip, but, when I'm with you, I want to listen I want to know you further, overlaps, to what they're just seeing, to hear every stories told, with your cheerful voice, your warmth, that caresses my body, builds up my poise, transcends a choice, to be happy or not, I forget all my worries, and say I'm a little pessimist, but ..I am looking forward, to stay this way, for as long, as we both can, complete our days.

Positivity
I’ve summed up the equation for my isolation It's People who look up, look down, left and right Desperate for information We never looked inside for much needed inspiration Instead, We lead a life of impulsive behavior mixed with preoccupation for our own reputation I've lost toleration for the weak minded population Individual thoughts slowly decay and eventually cut off circulation Sending thoughts on permanent vacation, worthy of respiration, ideas now suffer suffocation If this is my "generation" I’d rather live in hibernation You can take this as retaliation I just don’t understand why we seek gratification for having no imagination? I swear, It’s like the world around me is nothing more Than telecommunication Different voices yet the same conversation Broad interpretation leaves room for destructive ********** Shedding uniqueness for trendy consolidation **Who the **** do you think you are? a star?** You're no constellation You expel no illumination Your personality is a narrow cultivation of Seedy corporation, Media publication, And lack of moral stabilization Let me give you clarification Meditation is my detonation Put words in your mouth before you die of starvation We all have a fixation on giving into temptation Putting ourselves in situations were Passion is stimulation, Trust is manipulation and Love is *********** Pour out your heartache in perspiration After *********** we expect a standing ovation *** is nothing more than sensation* ....are we lost beyond the point of navigation?

I forgot my sunglasses I left them on the window pane Left them far behind I’ll never see them again Now the sun will surely blind me It’ll take away my sight In day light I can’t see Visions only good at night I forgot my dignity I lost it a long time ago Please don’t pity me Not at my all time low Detonation Levitation Annihilation I want to let go Hold on, hold on to me I want you all to know What’s wrong What’s wrong with me

Uneasy Thoughts in History Class
~ Losing Innocence ~ Why do we risk it all for love? No matter how exquisite, Passionate, wonderful it is, We lose; Always. Whether we part for differences or in death, We lose; Always. No matter how much we try to hold on, Change ourselves or our other, Govern and protect the relationship, We lose; Always. Thus, why do we do it? We do it for the moments that will reside with us, Always. For the craze and lust. The fury, The fervor, The obsession, infatuation, excitement. For the zeal, enthusiasm, passion. We do it for us; To penetrate over into, Our partner. Me and You, We wanted it all. None of the pain, Just the good stuff. Well, we had it. The good, the lovely. What a surprise! But then, As Always, We lost. We lost ourselves, Our way. The rhythm and balance We perfected. How did we not see it coming? Stumbling on to a new realm. One in which we operate alone. The composition wrecked. We smashed into that brick wall. Afraid to leave, Co-dependent. I knew you wanted out. Maybe a break? You opposed it. We could not come back from it. I could feel the coming loss. But not in the way I expected. A trip! To get us back. The excitement could mend us. It did for 72 hours. Then the ultimate force of depature Came upon. In a small elegant English hotel, You died in my arms On a Saturday morning in London. Thirty five hundred miles away from home. The initial shock blasted my mind and body. The detonation of torment pierced my soul. Unadulterated suffering terrorised. I lost my equilibrium and steadiness. Embarking in an unknown world, Where the dwellers seethe with agony. A spot was saved for me there, Where fumes suffocate. A Hell on Earth Where Innocence is Lost.

The barren   landscape sends me shivers Further enhanced by the total obliteration The presence of ghosts still lingers So many years after the detonation All this desolation pictures Like a scene from the apocalypse scriptures A pale nuclear shadow projected eternally The perpetual loss of harmony A remnant showing us our absurdity Was vaporised by the obfuscating bright The ashen picture is the last goodbye Relic of the tremendous light My moods darken I want to cry This is the last trace of a human being a son of someone prevented from further ageing That from fate couldn’t run Like a permanent echo of the disaster a visual silent scream like a photograph of a dreadful dream a shout that sends a warning to us all As we wish to forget how the balance is frail It’s easy to disregard the detail and be united by the same fate that destruction at an even greater scale it’s yet a threat not out of date

Random mortar shells in the afternoon. Sparkling, steel jacketed rain drops, Glinting rainbows of reflected sunlight. Plastic explosive seat cushions upon which passers-by, Rest their weary bones. C-4 candy bars, nuclear toothpaste, ****** for dessert. Orphanage flambe', hospital hash, blood pudding. Human burgers sizzling on a smart bomb bar-b-que grill. Finger food, toe jam, baby-back ribs. Bureaucratic double talkers, Sugar coated body counts, Colateral stew. Really deplorable, awfully sorry, But it was their own faults trying to put on raincoats. They declined our invitation to the cook-out. Bad luck to open an umbrella in the house. Remotely piloted funeral processions. Radar guided hearses. Televised in real time. Precision, surgical, neutralized, deterrent, disarmed, Deactivated, stand down, eliminate. Living pawns on a battlefield checkerboard. Strategic, defensive, Dominate, annihilate, Acceptable loss, public opinion pole. Listen to the tinkling of sabre blades, Rattling windchimes, In the warm breeze of the shockwave, Accompanied by the drumbeat of detonation and concussion. Rock...         ...and heads will roll. Holy, blessed, Patriotic, brave, Courageous, dedicated, Heroic, dutiful, Self sacrificing...                          ******

Tryna brave the belly of the beast But this enemy of me Has got hands- I’ve never metaphor for anxiety Like this one Imposter syndrome- I was only a dark forest away from who I needed to be But feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy Are twisting clouds so forebodingly  Mara’s army fires arrows Raining streams of self-consciousness Like I wasn’t ready to self destruct on impact - detonation I laugh and share memes of self-deprecation Social media the new god Where we worship ourselves By constantly trying to impress everyone else Venmo me Dopamine tributes With the truth in a cave of depression and Isolation Maybe Holly’s right And I do need to be here She shines the light On the darkness In the hospital wing 5th floor at Evanston But I’m afraid I’ve grown too codependent On this astral plane I’ve projected And romanticized these Ambien nights Only to awake neglected Screaming out her name In sleep paralysis On a dark night- When I’m manic I try to live it out like I’m in a movie Projecting inner struggles As external conflicts To make the scene more interesting Until I’m in this final battle alone like Odysseus Lost all my friends when the monster ate our ship and I took em for granted caught up Between a rock and a hard place- Depressed and Hyper-sexualization when spring is here again I’m in the first act dip edging the ****** Stimulating the simulation

Stick straight trees line hills, their arrangement phony less than 5,000 feet in elevation but elevating humanity for over sixty thousand. For more than sixty thousand human beings, think of fish stuck, are stampeded by shiny black blocks of detonation. Explosion for extraction, and teeny tiny port-o-potties sit, enjoying relaxation where an ecosystem once enjoyed rehabilitation after March. We Marched on, up a gravel hill where wind blew but we bolted our boots to the soil. Sunglass-clad woman concealed her hurt eyes, but her voice hurt enough to inspire a kind of throat retching sensation. ***** up that black, ooey-gooey you old, weathered mountain top. Explosives like a firm finger shoved down the throat denote a rock spew; regurgitate and repeat a dozen times over. Flatten and deform, never to reform the water-giving, life-renewing, shady shelter, stable stool, magic majesty of my mountain.

I fear the bass and treble. The Stuka's nasal voice ringing out. The tremulous earth beneath two treads. The planet itself was set to tremble. I fear the detonation. A whistle in the darkness. Harmonizing bass and treble. Imminent inflammation. I fear the bass and treble.

Hes a banker he banks all day!!!
Time has put a vagrancy on my mind Subdues conformity and material worship With scalding epileptic convulsions of imagination My mouth blood-stained, shrieking like a pianting A painting by Munch gives way, yields, yes yields To an unrelenting detonation of the unconscious An existential filter of real or imagined transformations Which by miraculous tongue restores a belief To wonder and levies no compass on perception Yet reveals a tormenting estrangement That does mount a strenuous and contemptuous protest Against familiarity with agonized shrieks of obdurate tenacity Where the phantoms of my imagination enact their mysterious mysteries And produce a poetic alchemy of violated imagination

Think, ha, ha, yes think
I am the other woman mouth full of fire body of glass it takes one insincerity and I am sure that you are disloyal trust is a funny thing uncertain like a joke that I don’t understand so when everybody laughs, I assume the joke’s on me and sometimes I am so stubborn in my solidarity that I punish myself for aching for you and you become the enemy so I spew heated words with the intent to burn I am perforated third degree detonation I am so ******* sorry

Trust/Understand
I write for expression, not impression. Physically, I show little emotion. Mentally, my emotions run wild. I know that if I keep it all inside I would explode, and maybe even die. Because keeping your feelings bottled up Will turn you into a ticking time bomb With an unknown date of detonation. I write because my mind can roam free. Sometimes through a field full of flowers, Sometimes through the deep, dark dungeons of hell. But, wherever my mind chooses to roam I let its freedom turn into greatness. My pen’s ink spewing all over the page Feels like climaxing after great *** It allows my mind to chill and relax. I write because it’s something I’m great at. I don’t just blend in with all of the rest I stand right out with the best of the best And I will not ever settle for less. But I must confess that it’s not all me My pen and my pad are essential needs. Without them all my thoughts would be futile And the greatness inside would not be seen. I write because it’s the one thing I love. Even at my lowest, it cheers me up While at my highest it can bring me down. The relationship we have can waver. Sometimes I feel we are madly in love, Sometimes I feel like all we do is fight, But there is one thing I will always know At the end of the day it’s there for me.

(those same conversations: *"how've you been since   last i saw you here?"*) -- cutting off match heads in tyler's room, tossing them                              into                       battered kleenex box,      2000 of 'em -- propellant for some                  jury-rigged                 pipebomb: two blasting caps/                                            1                                        in each                 end, courtesy Snow Lake Lodge. drive around looking for detonation site (field, preferably,  nice & open/but remote...) tyler & jeremy arguing up front, have coat over my head in th'backseat reading Mexico City Blues... O Kerouac ! / better man / than i ! (this my liver                      would dispute,                   "YOU treat me right!!") -- guess i never have been over-fond of drinking alone ... . . (that often) tell me :    how is this great? a bang & some                                                                                      shrapnel,                 zinging thru the woods? -- i'm bored to tears; take me home to my good chair where i can read these blues in peace.
