"devide" poems
A dozen fellows draped in threadbare tread densely,
Profligating goons in obsidian gowns
gathered under rainbow
moonshine shaking bronze hands,
howling and ****** in the shambles of the moon,
rap'n and nod'n to the notes of midnight.
The mellow marines mourned over malice,
lionizing over lost ones,
many howled venerated, exalted in wonder
in favor of their thrilling grace, and delight,
and brilliance, and might!
but some neighboring sticklers,
behaved haughty and in disdain,
of the crowdy Cavaliers bellowing echoes
signaling out
to the seers of the sea,
singing to the wands overwatching the wedding,
and ravens listened,
roving like noble patrolsmen.
Traveleres and trainees at sea
humble and bright
niave, and frieghtened
in traverse,
volatile and toiling,
tireless,
Lunatics, (laughing, laughing, laughhing,)
Rumaging through rain,
fireciely,
rallying and rableroused,
through towering halls of mohogony,
hefty and wholesome were their hearts
though, beast of the woodsy edifice
were foul and benumb
scowling with contempt,
haste to devide and devised to hindrance.
Hence the heroes heed
to the valleys of rose, and violet,
and strawberry fields of forever,
seeking Saint Nicholas,
in the bustling Byzantium,
in the murky shadows of doubt.

I left the dust and tumble weeds
to be incomplete and moved
back east to where I was born
The trees crowded together
There was a change in the weather
I asked mom ,
"Is that rain?"
The people were crowded
With one thought and mind
Everything was designated
to be black or white
We caught catfish from
the Alabama River
Swam in pristine streams
full of soapstone
Then we moved again
Crossed Texas on our way west
Crossed the continental devide
Came to rest in Spokane
I sang God Bless America
while sitting on a fire hydrant
Looking at the purple
mountain's majesty
Then off again back east
Crossed Texas the third time
To Panama City , Florida
where we came to reside
There I learned
to abide by the tide
And that some things
you can't hide
Two and a half years
of bliss
Then we moved
once again
And again and again
and again and again
and again , again
again , again , again . . . .
All my travels
All my travails
I have found home
in the moment within me .

The pile of pine burned with ferocity
While fields of watermellon wore green in generosity
Jerimiah delivered rows of assiduous thoughts
Fertilized in decisions made years ago
Margaret was from Huntsville , working on a divinity degree
She was small , rode a bicycle , studying infinity
Timid , not unlike a titmouse in spring
Margaret had a sister named Judy
Jerimiah left for the mountains of Colorado
He took only his last name Johnson
He spent winters hibernating with the bears
He learned to have no fear and grew a long beard
Tennennessee is in Alabama , just south of Huntsville
A snowslide almost buried Jerimiah
Margaret moved to North Carolina
got married and that's all I know
Jerimiah made tracts in the snow . . . go
He sat above the devide looking down
Sometimes west when the sun went down
But mostly east under the full moon
Howling so forlornly the wolves cry
Margaret looks west every night
Then sheds one tear

he was in the room
with a mop and a broom
the room was all clean
no dirt was to be seen
and he left the room
not to be seen
by his friends who would mock him
if he were to be seen in that scene
He had a safe in a safe
in the night he was beside it
so they wouldn't devide it
in the day he would clean it to make it sing
the clean would squeek
although it was meek
but it came too soon
because no one was awake
to hear the tunes it would make
the safe would squeek and squank
the tune it would make
as it sat by the lake
that was made from the water
from the dirt and the solder
that was once on the safe
that he cleaned off with haste
he wanted to sing
but the safe sung for him
he had his dream
but his safe stole it
and locked it up
inside it's safe
though it wasn't literal
it all was real
that the man had a dream
that the safe would steal
the man's name was Ben
he was the worst of his friends
because his friends were better than he was
he hated himself and the safe that would speak
because he cleaned it and made it squeek
he had a friend named Ben
the other Ben who was cool and gear
was a friend of the Ben who was full of fear
he would sing and he sung
as Ben cleaned and clun
and both Bens made music that was good
but Ben hated his
and Ben liked his
but both Bens liked Bens song
but one song squeeked
and as it did, it squank
and the song it did make
put both in a trance
but Ben one was not real
and Ben two was the seer
one was in the mind
while the other one cleaned
he wished Ben two was real
because he wanted a friend
and he wanted to hate
because he wanted a blame
for his lack of fame
because his song was great
but too early it came
because no one was awake
to hear the music it would make

"I don't like this, I don't want to be here"
Well, add a "T" here or move on
The PURSUIT of happiness is the right they mention
Remember though, it's an emotion
And just like every other one
It too isn't healthy to always be on
A better life is the big con
Middle class gone
Devide and conquer worked to perfection
Mostly 'cause half the population
Can't do long division
Can't trust a single politician
Corruption now the backbone of religion
Founding fathers knew the importance of separation
But those who've cherry pick the bible from generation to generation
Now want the option too cherry pick the Constitution
It no longer matters what's right and wrong
Just belt out your fight song
If you don't like something go get your march on
Or hit the gong
Pretend your conviction is strong
And when your judgement comes along
There's nothing you can do but end up where you belong

Sometimes you will see me walking corridors ahead
Unable to catch up
The hurrying crowd will push by
Not understanding
Or knowing you even exist
I turn
You wave
I'm sorry
I need to feel free
To be grounded within this skin
I stretch
I moan
I long
And then I return
Back to fold in which I belong
Brother
Never worry that we are lost to each other
The ties are strong
And like blood
Poetry is our bond
The beauty
The honesty
The bravery to express who we really are
Creates forces which
Will never sleep
They ever beckon you home
To this madness
Houses change
Colours illuminate your face
And shadows are all we can see
At times things seem bleak
Then we notice that
For a while we will all congregate in the same halls
Why
Because we are interconnected by threads
Of golden silk
Heaven illuminates our souls
And once again we shine
We know the hate
We know the love
We feel the pain
The misery
We council
We pass the brick
Which builds the bridge
We knock down walls which devide each other
We will always be
Beacuse
Just because thats the way
It was always meant to be

Time passes...
While sitting on the steps
Waiting for the water company
To come and turn off the water.
My old home.
The one I grew up in...
Mom and Dads place,
Then my sons place.
Now sold..
Everything removed
But the memories...
Hard to turn off the tears.
I look at the iron railing
My dad made,
With marks pounded in it .
A curled end, with little rings
Between every other rail.
At Christmas I would tip toe down
And peek through the rails
To see if Santa arrived yet.
Dad made a bar in the basement.
On the front of it still
Are My initials JK
He cut them out for me.
I can't remove them now,
Because he used wood glue
To fasten them to the bar.
There is a shelf to devide
The dining room and front room.
Growing up we had a large fish bowl
On two of the shelves.
Angel fish,
And guppies...
Now shelves are bare.
A lot of stories to be told,
Created in this old house.
Giving me a lot of great memories.
Leaving this house
Is like leaving my mom and dad
Behind...
But I know they are
With me in my heart.
Thanks mom and dad
For giving me a great childhood.
Life changes,
As does the place to live...
Good bye
To my childhood home..

March has always been my bane
Tastes like steel and skin
The skies are just as cold
as the knife
twisting in my sin
I caught ahold of morning's sleet
You caught cold and died
Looking into the coffin's ward
You crossed
that great devide
The bottom of the red clay pit
gathered tears and falling rain
I never knew you long enough
to be dealt with so much pain
Bitter bites the chill when the ides of March arrive
Life felt cheap and nasty
under ***** dishwater skies
I kept hearing Eleanor Rigby
ricocheting off the wall
I just want to paint it black for those who had to run before they learned to crawl
No one was saved that day
No ! There was no one there at all
The old black men in yellow coats stood waiting for the call
I stood not far away
beneath the leafless tree
Watching the men with shovels in hand
Bury the last stop for memories
I found myself a muttering
Tinged and biter as the cold
It's good you died so young
before you died so old

There is that slow burn deep within
The heat that warps and so bends
The power that drives me mad
Upon which my love does hinge
I see you in my dreams
When I think it's not anything
Only to wake soaked in sweat
This is more than just a fling
I think about you through the day
This month of April , surely this May
I long to lay by your side
Kiss your lips and touch your face
Someday I will burn complete
From the ashes of your heat
I will rise and take your hand
And across this devide we will leap

I was a lost puppy
looking for a warm blanket and a mommy
you wrap me in your arms
and tell me im your best
or even better then your last best
you've told that fib before
but your lips tell me sweet nothings
and your hair brushes on my shoulder
im your soldier
and your my mission
ill devide and conquer
and ill make you call my ****
the big monster
you fear
the big monster
you fear

Will you walk this way
Will you leave open the door
Will you be more than just the reasons
that you implore
When you look inside
When will you separate the appriations
When will you part and devide
all the suppositions
"I am this today
I am that tomorrow
I am anything as long
as it doesn't cause me sorrow"
"I am as fickle as the sun
I am sunshine , sometimes storm
I am the moon's false reflection
that falls upon the praise that you adorn"
So who is it that walks through the door
So whose mask will you wear today
So who will fall for your insidious lies
that you so disrespectfully diplay
What a way !

Your words don't have sounds
that's why they cut so deep
like a scream in a lounge
when all are trying to sleep
You hover through the dark
insisting like crawling creep
but since your body gave a bark
you've made it hard for me to sleep
You're all that we wish we didn't see
but though the evil stole your voice
I look a you like a continental devide
and refuse to sleep

Let's promote the things that bind us, and let go of the things that devide us.
Unconditional love comes with unconditional appreciation.
#Faith should be tested, and love be expressed...

Its 10:04 now with the trees rustling in the warm California night.
Words are seeking. Expression right now. Brothers and sisters of the word linked around the orb.
Continents devide us but daily and nightly we find.
We seek to speak our language to each we reach.
Vast terrain devides
We strain make words speak our inner beauty or pain.
In our darkened abodes.
In our hours of angst ... broken hearts...words that bleed our needs.
Lonely word messenjah
Looking out to the stars
Where are you speak.
A gusty night as I watch dreams take flight and rise above rooftop here
Take heart.
Brothers in the word.
Sisters knit and weave your tales let them flow like nimble fingers shaping yarn.
I cant feel the Earth's spinning.
Talk to me .
We are unique. We seek to make magic in meter and verse.
Stars twinkle as never seen
A clear night sky revealed.
I am one with forever.
And my kin.
Let the words
Carry you lightly and forever.
Word
Messenjah.

Croydon you're a ghost ship
boarding on the isle of ridiculousness
Erecting flats for millionaires
social housing a swept away issue.
Alas there's your North South devide
Can the Town planners rectify the polarisation,
that's sees only Tory and Labour
with no third party mooring the agenda.

Im a fool, crazy, and to whatever you decide
I love you and I want you
Can you do the same for me?
I think im breaking, broke, and broken
You teared me, devide me and destroyed me
Would you dare to come and stitch for me?
I can't believe im destined to like you
But believe it or not my heart beats for you
Im f*cked up and messed up for i am
hopelessly devoted to you.

The devide of man has always loomed within history conflicts of interest have fueled the foundations of war and left mothers within the sorrows of tears for power is a beast that devours all who seek its embrace to only leave behind in the end other chapters of history to be examined by those left to indure the madness of mankind

I was there
staring at that cold wall
hoping that I
could have knocked it down
I could have reached you
touched you
felt your scarred skin
breathed your familiar scent
I could have sunk
in your astonishing silence
but this wall devide our souls

Awakened lonley and blue
by a deceptively beautiful hue emanating deep from within the skies devide.
The horizion I eye, and think....
..Soon.
And
Then.
Soon,
I find myself, Eyes wide to the sky
Where the perimeter it bends.
Flying high, wild inside. We tried,
But could never ever find the end.
The
End.

Light
Light
Lightly tread
Who of wonder
Darkness dread
A soul a drift
A soul a sunder
From an ash
a darkness plunder
How unseen to open eyes
A fleeting life
A dread demise
So Let it be to open eyes
That see a world beyond demise
Beyond the fleeting
Great devide
Beyond the futile
Great abide

In their eyes, see the fears
facemask wrapped around the ears.
On their own, in the car
common sense removed so far.
So I'm spreading it far and wide
my face I do not hide.
Stay safe, for good health
Get to know thy self.
Stay at home
home is within,
Cannot go very far
wherever you go
there you are.

So the Sony clock belched
out the seconds
It had been empty as another full day
The whipoorwill yelled
for Ubernation
while standing on his bones
of petrification
It seems dinosaurs never
really went away
Alleluia
How many times have I crossed the Mississippi ?
Only God will know now for sure
The same can be said of the continental devide
The land of summer snow
It's full of purple mountain majesty
It yaws at my imagination
Someday I will to go back for more
Hallelujah
Some people say you either love of hate me
There is found no middle ground
That has me often wondering
about judgement day
As I will be surely standing down
Will Jesus look at me and say I know you , won't you kindly stick around
Halleluyah !

We talk about marriage and children
I should be ecstatic
I find only fear and confusion
When my eyes fall upon you
I am complete happy and confident
The great devide of absence
Steals my confidence
Worsen by my gemini personality
Over thinking
over analizing
Constantly observing detail
Right or wrong
Plotting
Planning
Two sides of a coin
Im drowning in my head
I cannot trust myself
My mind
My heart
My gut
They all lie to me
No one knows
The turmoil hidden in my jaws
Clenched teeth
Energetic laugh
Clowning jokes
No one knows
No one sees
