"divined" poems
A fitness woman who had a boyfriend who didn’t train But the love affair that did remain The fitness woman being named Jennifer who always took care of her body even when she was in her teens Yet Ted being her boyfriend really didn’t have any interest in exercise But it was Fitness Jennifer that captivated Ted’s eyes It wasn’t until Jennifer introduced Ted to a competing male bodybuilder named William Ted Seemed Ah and noticed all his muscle detail protruding through his T-Shirt of William Later Ted went home and gave a good thought that maybe he should try exercising and thought about William in giving him guidance Fitness and muscle running through Ted’s mind But will it convince Ted to exercise with the thought divined Well barbells became Ted’s start in train William who was a competing Bodybuilder to help Ted through various exercises in helping Ted establish his own physique Well things were on go with the idea of mystique In a span of two years, Ted now had a muscular physique that he could be proud of, and was thinking about stepping onto the Bodybuilding platform Well Fitness Jennifer gave Ted all the encouragement he needed Persuasion became defined into pursue It was all the encouragement coming from Fitness Jennifer due Ted stepped on stage for the first time, and was a little nervous, but when the music started and he started to pose, the audience gave a raw of applause and being totally amazed He was standing next to other Bodybuilders who were more advanced But Ted saw a vision, and wanted to take a chance As names were being called out, there was a certain anticipati8on in how Ted did Yet Ted felt he wasn’t going to win and it was the end Suddenly Ted’s name was called out in first place After all that there was no time to waste Ted proposed to Fitness Jennifer right there on stage Fitness Jennifer was very surprised and she said yes without any hesitation The multitudes of applause Fitness Jennifer and Ted kissed with a cause Immediately, muscle became two heart shapes Muscle being true love and the flexing of two doves.

I hear a knock upon my door. Or was it there inside my head, where only ever dread for the things in life I can't obtain remains; No matter how hard I may in one form or another train? And so I'll sell a piece of my soul yet again; My price of admission to taste love's glory for but a momentary grin. With you it was so much different. My heart is still broke, but my real loss is more than conviction. I lost my heart, my soul, my vision. A future bleaker than a demonic prediction. My mind is racing as I try to relax but thoughts of you come rushing back. I try to close my eyes to snore but there's always a monster lurking behind memory's door. And as I recalled I saw my cursed fate, Always here to be here but never to stay. I'm airport luggage thrown and lost, Maybe sought another day. But I'll still love you through any amount of pain. I've loved before you but never loved in this way: So full of passion and love for who we both are and could be. I'd marry you now and yet I've never stopped you to say that you're such an invaluable friend, and I'm sorry I can't be okay. I hate that I'm not only jealous but hurt when I shouldn't feel so deeply burnt by the girl that stole my heart; She's so far beyond my worth. But she came at night and without a knife she took my heart off it's throne in life, and put it kneeling like she had the key. As if some Divine being that, before we had even met, had my heart beat. Your love for him is clear even from afar, And so my heart will beat forever subpar. So confusing are you truly to me. The one thing I know is you are the one to whom my soul and heart chose to leave me to be.  Maybe heartless and soul-less should go hand in hand? Ripped from the body by something far greater than man.  Something unknowingly more than human, yet divined by human hands. Ill be content that while I'm still so broke, She can be healed and her love will help her float: And she can finally forgive herself for the wrongs He wrote. She'll shoulder the pain and strife of life,  With love beside her every night. I can be okay but never better, So I write to myself and you all this letter. I'm high as a kite, And just as exposed, I will never not hear the call of my soul. Depart away so you can hate me, And close the chapter of my life called meaning. I want only for you to be whole. Regardless of cost, repercussion or role. My love for you will live until dawn rises untouched by Earth's rock. Yet ever haunting as a ghost who only ever knocks.

Eyes on Ancient times in going back and intriguing the mind Hercules pillar being his strength Challenging all odds A man being his own mode Hercules strength in conquering evil Deceit of destruction confined to the Devil The Greek Gods that sit above They have spiritual divined powers thereof The Gladiators have come to attack But the Greek Gods have Hercules back The pillars of evil Kingdoms have steadily come down The rattle of the chains and the demons that remain Hercules the conquer with the strength of solid bound A man of force with the lean sound Hercules stands on a throne with lightening bolts on both sides The sun casts a shadow with the man of victory It’s Hercules labours of sustaining history The mystery of challenges of an unknown tomorrow The enemy being defeated in sorrow Hercules legacy with having moral of morrow and eyes keen like a sparrow.

HERCULES IN VERSE
~for better days for the poet betterdays~ mournful tunes play silently, but still too often, eyes wet but in corners kept, recurring then the memories, keepsakes, letters, books, small trinkets, not dusty, but dusky, resting on in-between ledge of a mountain-sized twilight of well lit shadowy haziness, edgy dark brilliance, a comprehensible contrast non-comprehendible tunes that bless with equal measures of grief, comforting, by memorable card flashes of good relief, a dividing line, hazy and frequented crossed, a sort of path, with no destination signaled, as if the path itself was an end, to a meaning, a solution, with no clarity divined, a division of sight and insight, providing an ill fitting reconciliation mourning is electric, morning is electric, letters, words bottled up in evaporating perfume bottles, seeking the comfort of dissipation unto a larger atmosphere, the scent in everything tangible, stronger still yet, in intangibles that can erode but never ever fail to return instantly when voked, by vision, odor, a particular child’s smile, line in a poem volunteered recovered, uncovered, a post first writ to be written, discovered, when time and place coincidentally breathe together, at last, beckoning you to places where memory serves only as a pleasuring, upright mind marker, decorated in chains perpetual reforging, absent pain, gleaming dreamings full-replacing longings for pasts, new verses composed, passing, a grand addition to a child’s legacy

The Dirge of Memory
~for better days for the poet betterdays~ mournful tunes play silently, but still too often, eyes wet but in corners kept, recurring then the memories, keepsakes, letters, books, small trinkets, not dusty, but dusky, resting on in-between ledge of a mountain-sized twilight of well lit shadowy haziness, edgy dark brilliance, a comprehensible contrast non-comprehendible tunes that bless with equal measures of grief, comforting, by memorable card flashes of good relief, a dividing line, hazy and frequented crossed, a sort of path, with no destination signaled, as if the path itself was an end, to a meaning, a solution, with no clarity divined, a division of sight and insight, providing an ill fitting reconciliation mourning is electric, morning is electric, letters, words bottled up in evaporating perfume bottles, seeking the comfort of dissipation unto a larger atmosphere, the scent in everything tangible, stronger still yet, in intangibles that can erode but never ever fail to return instantly when voked, by vision, odor, a particular child’s smile, line in a poem volunteered recovered, uncovered, a post first writ to be written, discovered, when time and place coincidentally breathe together, at last, beckoning you to places where memory serves only as a pleasuring, upright mind marker, decorated in chains perpetual reforging, absent pain, gleaming dreamings full-replacing longings for pasts, new verses composed, passing, a grand addition to a child’s legacy

I cooked and cleaned Some times my employer’s emotions in acting mean I cried many times knowing I deserve a more fulfilled life The southern storms with their heavy rains The adventure in travelling on a freedom train Leaving all conflict and feeling ******* behind as a remain Wishing one day my rights to explore and endure The beauty of my black race and abolish hatred as erase Let my wisdom right the bells of freedom Help me make it to that divined kingdom I pray to God above He is my everything in the of Perhaps one day I can overcome feeling weary and tired I have yet to live and don’t want my time to expire For right now I will sleep and transform to a night retire The next morning when I awoke I turned on the television and I thought was a joke The Civil Rights of freedom was passed My prayers were answered at last It wasn’t a dream, but a reality in believing truth My heart was filled with joy All I could say was “Oh Boy” I took my head and looked up at the clear sky Thank you Lord for always being wise I was now free I quit my maidhood and let God guide me in be I walked to a new life to where my new horizon will take me Being directed by the sun and the multitudes in being among.

PLANTATION MAID
*He is My Azure Dreambird, (The Sovereign of Songbirds) That soars upon Skies of Resonance. His sapphire wings Weightless by valor, Hallowed every doubt That Cursed my shadow Until credence reigned. He is The Musicality of my Soul, That I climbed as A stairway Into Gates of Aether Upon Porcelain keys Of an impearled Grand Piano. His sound emittance Ascended in frequency until Pitch became subliminal For height ceased to be Height, And depth, Ceased to be Depth, It was Ineffable harmony And resolution became effortless With The touch of his hand. He is The Wings of the Dawn, A Sweeping Rapture That raised Me Beyond the stratosphere Until graced by Untarnished embrace Of the Baptistery of the Sun. I burst From Light’s Intemerate Womb, Renewed and Gazed upon Terraqueous Gaia Then for once, (Yes, for all eternity) Succumbed to Faith in the Transcendence Of his tender affections. Woe was existence Before His lightwaves radiated Within my heart, For when I purged my pulse Of that quaking rhythm And Hollow cries Upon his ears, He stood moved And remained Doughty in his devotion To me. In that moment I fathomed his soul Glistened O, for he had not forsook me. I bear a pilgrimage. One sought to be Heard, Seen, Felt, Breathed, And Divined By my Once Somnolent spirit Been Roused By the incendiary thew of His ardor. My revenant soul Hath emerged from The Chrysalis of Time as The Apotheosis of Astral Flame (A Reverberation of the Cosmo-Plexus of Love) That since The Days of Time Immemorial Guided by the Whisper of the stars, I now cleave To that celestial susurrus: To the solace buried beneath The Soil of Afflicition (For anguish was all I knew) In repose Yet yearning to be Resurrected In The Dream of Acquisition, To for eternity behold The timeless fervor That doth layeth In His heart*

When she was seven, my grandmother suffered from fever and swollen glands. The doctors believed her tonsils were inflamed, that she needed surgery. Instead, she went to a curandera. The curandera divined that a jealous relative had cast a curse on her and, now, her language of kindness was bound to her throat, the unspoken swelling her glands. As a child my grandmother spoke to santitos with a voice like a chestnut: ruddy and warm, seeds dropping from her mouth. The santitos would take her words into themselves, her voice growing within them like grapevines. During the tonsillitis, when the words no longer fell like seeds from her lips, the santito's vineyards of accent and voice grew vapid, dry as a parched mouth. They went to her tongue and asked why silence imprisoned the words of the child, why lumps were present under her chin, why tears drew channels down her cheeks. I asked my grandmother how her tongue replied. After touching my cheek, she told me she had a dream that night: She was within her lungs and she rose like breath through the moist of her throat. She remembered her tonsils swinging before her like fleshy apples, then a hand taking them into a fist, harvesting their sound. She told me her throat opened in two spots like insect eyes and the names of her children came flying through her wounds like peacocks. Patting my thigh, she said, "That is why the name of your mother is Maria, because she is a prayer, a song of praise to the Holy Mother." She told me this, then showed me two scars on her throat—tiny scars, like two eyelids stitched closed. st - 20 mar 14

I wonder where your wonder went-- why you stashed away your wonderment? for sake of posture pride and pallor ironic, yes for all the hours of studying "normative" culture-- of faults and flaws and freedom ruptured bashing against consumerism driven lives *Your stuff's not as cool as mine Poor things! how blind! What empty lives! Why can't they see the alternative side? But wait--that's mine! My idea--I divined! Great spirit told me not to sell half price and things I buy--of course they're mine But free trade, bought and paid for I'm down with the indigenous cause, I'm no capitalist ***** . . . But oh my, those pants are nice and that skirt's lovely, too, I'd love to wear it twice wait-- Why dothey have those I'm more hip than them, more open minded, I'm Mother Earth's best friend. or **** at least more hip. More hotter, smile and nod, peace and love, yoga **** on my journey I'm farther. See there! Don't look in my eyes, but at my size 2 thighs in this brand new outfit haters despise . . .* I guess I'm wondering where your love is, I digress from my rant, just show me where the shelf is that holds your origin story, lost child, eyes wide, mind blown by lights and shiny bits and new friends' smile and-- BASS vibrating your spine. Where's the love that widened your mind?

Wondering why wonder
by Arcassin Burnham follow my feelings down the road, and get decapitated, he wants to have a smirk on his face, and he became infatuated, divined and refined, i don't want to have this irritation, zero tolerance aligned, it creates frustration, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, into my words, follow me.

Alone here Another soliloquy in my head Only desires live and the living dead Alone here An abyss for company Only desires live and the dreams faraway Million voices swirl A black hole in a milkyway They sparkle and shine While I drift away Million voices swirl The Sun and the Moon and the stars Collide to condense ****** in an apocalypse Licking their fresh scars Darkness cuts into the deepest corners Living off the bright Out of mind Out of sight Alone here As the fates divined Dark and Light Intertwined

Drifting Away
He wandered along the Pullman car As if he owned the train, And wore the badge of ‘Conductor’ and A whistle on a chain, He carried a block of tickets that Were printed differently, With various towns and places from The inland to the sea. He’d walk from behind the driver, from The front up to the back, His steps in time to the rhythm of The train, its clicketty-clack, He wouldn’t look at the passengers Unless their eyes were strained, But then would pause with his ticket block To see which ones remained. And then, as if he divined the stress Each passenger went through, He’d tear off one of the tickets, as He would, for me or you, And suddenly they’d be on a beach Or resting in some town, And making love to a red-haired ***** Just as the sun went down. The train continued its journey with Its steady clicketty-clack, The passenger sitting limply with His eyes, empty and black, While ever the train’s conductor walked Along the swaying aisle, Dispensing the tickets on the block For mile on endless mile. Then once at their destination he Would blow a single note, Using that tiny whistle hanging Chained down by his throat, And all of the passengers would wake, Their eyes no longer black, Marvelling at the dreams they’d had While travelling on that track. If ever you board that certain train Be sure to be aware, And look long at the conductor, As he walks; No, even stare! Then if he pauses in front of you Think where you’d like to be, And watch as he peels your ticket off, Your ride to ecstasy. David Lewis Paget

A little girl, sitting by the ocean. She's quietly listening to the tides. Making her forget all the commotion. The sound would take over, thoughts leave through sighs. As she grew up she searched for that soft tune. In every little thing that she could find. Until stars aligned in the afternoon, And the universe said we were divined. Love, you remind me of the very thing, That I adore than most all on the earth. So it's you to whom I'll be listening. It's your music that's making my days worth. Now I stay basking in your soothing waves. My ocean, promise you'll hold me always.

Highly of Her
(To Eleonora Duse) We are anhungered after solitude, Deep stillness pure of any speech or sound, Soft quiet hovering over pools profound, The silences that on the desert brood, Above a windless hush of empty seas, The broad unfurling banners of the dawn, A faery forest where there sleeps a Faun; Our souls are fain of solitudes like these. O woman who divined our weariness, And set the crown of silence on your art, From what undreamed-of depth within your heart Have you sent forth the hush that makes us free To hear an instant, high above earth’s stress, The silent music of infinity?

Silence
Poison is humanities water, For those of sin begin to slaughter. All in death and hell combined, no mercy from even those divined. Destruction awaits no being, for it is controlled by all who are fiends. This world we live is ours alone, so why must I awake and be born.

Demonic Awaking
Free to fail like leaves in winter His love will only sometimes linger Like the fall of lovers crush She'll win them all bare ly out of touch Held together like ink to paper Blurred into memory or a colorful sublime These tears fell like wood forests hole punched and lined Like a Lamp lit nightstand useful twice a month Clandestin calamity chorus of wind chimes Composed Dually noted measured and fallen in time Conceived   Dear John's pinned on porcelain; pined Convexity Leafs seasoned in carved tree vellum Divined Like dried roses smoke & mirrors the mind

Failing in Love
ALL THE IMPORTANT POETS One day I found all the important poets - Shakespeare, Bukowski, Dickinson and Rilke partying in the park drinking Coronas, feeding pigeons on the green. Astonished I queried, "You are all my thought heroes, and yet you laze about. "Shouldn’t you be writing something famous?" And they erupted in a literate cacophony of guffaws, their eyes tearing, their cheeks shining red with mirth. Shakespeare turned to me and said, "Forget it kid ! Meter, metaphor, rhythm and rhyme - it’s all just groundlessness. All the adjectives in the world divined just so only lead to a place in your heart you’ll never really understand anyway. It’s simply a mystery, ineffable." Bukowski tried to ask Rilke about the letters he'd written to that frustrated young poet, but he was so drunk on cooking sherry he could only mumble, gesticulate and grin. And then sweet Emily said, "Yes. William is right. Rainer Marie tried to explain it. Charles tried to drink into it, yet it remains the glass bead game - ungraspable by dearest turn of phrase. So we have decided to put down our pens and take a breather." She quietly handed me the bag of crumbs, suggesting I toss a few here and there for the pigeon's lollygagging by....... "They're hungry, the simple little dears," she said.

ALL THE IMPORTANT POETS
Her smile is a rush of a syringe; pushing deep within mine arteries, loaded. Her laugh is addictive, sedatation entereth me. I flyeth higher than any dope fix canst get. She hit's fast, quick; as her eye's art chocolate diamond's that hang on star-night string's, shiny, divined Pearl's wrapped in elegant Filipino linen of a queen. O' mine Asian dream, cometh into mine sleep and feeleth me, cometh in: the door's open, none hellion aloud to pass nor enter, just a place for us to swim. Whilst making affectionate confectionery amour' on thy foreign shore's, mantra's shalt be said as both of ourn name's art whispered: the setting sun to be the picture that goeth down as we dont stop the rolling around until dusk. ©Brandon Nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl jane nagley ( Filipino rose) dedication

Mantra jusqu'au crépuscule ( Mantra until dusk) french tongue
Old stars shine on long after life is gone, Bright lights echoed through voids they leave behind; Old remnants fade yet still their light lives on. Born of old dust, born of a mothers son, Born fated to repeat a mortal grind, Old stars shine on long after life is gone, One sparking flame igniting dreams anon, Defying darkness drawn to drowned the mind; Old remnants fade yet still their light lives on. Bright stars that brightly burn oft' seem alone Where lesser lights eclipsed are hard to find; Old stars shine on long after life is gone. Old stars must end when all their days are done, But light once shone goes on to raze the blind; Old remnants fade yet still their light lives on. From dust to dust, from ash to ash, they shone With fiery hearts fanned by a gift divined: Old stars shine on long after life is gone, Old remnants fade yet still their light lives on.

Nice Try Einstein
Down no plains of flowing grass up no hills of trees that stand what tips your hat? where is your flaw? disillusioned taste defused for all, mimicked in the voice of a flower through hearts of trees, outstretching complex, limbs hidden simply facilitated in common goal, conditioned used for all; how do you stand? quite so tall in divined obsession it seems to find all nurtured and withdrawn concealed in fixation no one finds your flaw for there’s none at all yet from deception, true love finds all in this shambled; shrine, not flawed in design nurtured from unseen confronted with existence.

Tree in a park
someday you will believe. how hard i pushed for you. how much the world woutd be a darker place without you. And even though you don"t believe me, you came to me as i came to you and we changed each other. We needed each other. We divined each other This is a letter to a living soul.You will be alive forever. you have touched me forever, you are touching me now.

The bodies of paradise are the fledglings of humanity-- little chicks that peeped for love and instead found what we attempt to purge. Which is reality instead warping and mourning the placate scene into what our creation has never meant to be. I've become fond of literature and statutes that line a facetious library. One which mangles others from stepping inside yet holds the truest heart. My finest lines are not those spoken but those read from paper or stone, because it is only to those un-living the crēvit are not divined and which Veritas, can come find Amor est vitae.
