"effecting" poems
*the state or quality of being elastic. flexibility; resilience; adaptability: a statement with a great elasticity of meaning. buoyancy; ability to resist or overcome depression. Physics. the property of a substance that enables it to change its length, volume, or shape in direct response to a force effecting such a change and to recover its original form upon the removal of the force.* are you ready? here it comes! Slap! having slapped you with, to kind attention, you may now recover your original form, when there was no grief, no distress, the great clarity of eying the day's birth, sweetly and innocently. once again, you are buoyant, molecules of polluted memories, erased. wind scattered, gone, blackboard erased, whiteboard replaced. you have been reminded, even reprimanded, for forgetting your elasticity. life, what ever that be, is constant motion, a reshaping of the heart, for the heart has no unique shape. it's adaptation, it's elasticity, it's genetic forgive and forget ability, is legend, is you, you are legend, You are elastic. the human hallmark impressed in the palms of your hands, that cannot be erased by time, fatigue, failure, or anger, the hands that mold, re-form for every need, for every handhold, for different are: The hands that open closed fists The hands that wave hi The hands that are first to touch and the last to leave, waving goodbye, elastic - tender when tender needed, strong when strength essences. so be elastic, remember to be ecstatic remember when you do, you need show proofs. Prove it to me. Prove it to yourself. shake, kiss, dare hug, the one who needs reminding that life is elastic, even more than you.

You did it again You got in trouble Because you were desperate 5 years clean Your streak is now broken You couldn't stay off the *** Now you're effecting me Him Us You said you could do it this time You could be a good mother to him You ******* up with the first 2 But this one was supposed to be different You were supposed to do it right 5 years clean You were 5 years clean You have a history You realize that right? And because you're a liar Because you're unsafe Because you're a thief Because you're a criminal I can't trust you And I don't know If I ever will Now all your actions Are coming back to haunt you But its not just effecting you this time They effect me And him And this is it Whatever that judge says Is going to change everything He may be your son But my brother And I'm not going to let you Ruin his life I don't want him to grow up The way I did Different houses Different people Never knowing where you were And then finding out Your behind those bars again Because you were desperate They may be watching you But so am I

Him
I don't know what to do, It's like I've lost myself while trying to find you. It's like you make me suffer so much But you run free without a care. To you it should seems like I'm just fine. What if I told you I was dying inside? Would you care or would you hate me. Well I hate me for liking you. I feel guilty because I'm hanging on to nothing. You don't want me but I'm carrying my same old thoughts. I feel bad for you because I love you, Meanwhile you don't want me to. I'm such a bad friend for liking you, Because you just want to be friends. I still feel like drowning. This is just another of poems out of many. About you. There's so ****** many about you, Yet you might not have a clue. You couldn't know, You couldn't imagine, How much this is effecting me. And now I actually sometimes try, To get you off my mind. I don't want to see you and ruin your moment, Because of the fact your aware of me liking you. Then I think what if this never happened. What if you just said yes? Then I sure as hell wouldn't be stuck here feeling like this. No, I don't hate you. You can't control who you love, And I know that more than anyone. I hate that I love you. Because I shouldn't so it feels like betrayal. So I'm sorry but I can't stop. I haven't wanted to stop but now I think I want it to. Never the less I have no choice. I just have to sit here with you tearing me to shreds. You don't know. But if you did, I wouldn't be able to come within a mile of you. Because I'm sorry, so sorry. Do you know what it feels like though? To love someone without a chance, And for so long but not being given the same type of glance. So there's pathetic and then there's me. More rather they're the same thing. I don't know what to do apart from listen to depressing love songs. Ones that I can't relate to because they've actually been in love. They've had a relationship. All I've had is this stupid crush, But somehow it still hurts so much. So I sing the lyrics and want to cry, But no matter how loud, You don't hear me. Because I'm not singing to you and I don't want you to know. There's nothing you could do. You don't love me and you can't. You won't. But for goodness sake this hurts too much! I try to live my life but I can't. Which is because I'm thinking of you. Everything right now just makes me want to scream. There's no way around it, Because you'll never love me.

What's it like to be torn apart?

some days I watch those tv shows or movies that have some cute but sappy love story in it. I always think to myself, I wish that could happen to me. for my relationships to be perfect. I realized relationships arent perfect at all! everyeone argues, and disagrees. everyone has some issue, but usually couples are able to fix that. there is always the "i guess it was meant to be" or " theres other fish in the sea" I feel like I have said those lines way too much for a 14 year old. I think back at all my relationships and even though I say I regret some, i shouldnt because at the time that person made me feel happy, special, and just made me feel good. I think back at my relationships and they were horrible. They were horrible because of me. I was the problem. The horrible problem. Im not pretty enough. Not skinny enough. Dont talk that much. Well sorry I have acne, like to eat and very shy. Im trying to work on those things and I guess no one is able to see that. I think about my past relationships and go through them one by one. part by part. to see why it ended, why that person couldnt be my soul mate. some were that we hardly talked, it was awkward, he liked other(better) girls, I just wasnt good enough. Most of them was my fault. I've been through the dumbest relationship problems, and now its effecting me. now it is really getting to me, and I truly wish I could go back in the past to fix everything. To fix my broken heart. To not put it out there so much so it could get hurt. I think about my relationships in the past and then I look back at that one. The only one who I liked through everything. who never left my side either we were together or best friends. the one who had issues himself but still put me first. who made me feel like a better person, and the most beautiful. the one i trusted the most and couldnt live without. where is he now? he is off, doing his own thing, moved on. why do i still think about him? because I love him. i love him so much, no matter what. He knows. Nothing has happened for about a year now, and Im guessing nothing else will. He'll be over at his school, dealing with his own problems, with his best friend. Me at my own school, trying to deal with everything happening around me.Now because all of these dumb relationships, I just try to find someone who doesnt care about all of that and just likes me now. doesnt like me for love and relationship, but likes me for what i do. I can flirt, talk and kiss him all he wants. both of us missing two different people and since we're not able to see them we just use each other for what we want. I hate to say it. to say that im friends with benefits with someone, but its just come to that. i hate to acknoledge it. to acknowledge that my first love has moved on, and im just here, slowly getting away.

To kiss someone's lips Or grab them by the hips One must enlist In the power dynamic Inside every relationship There are surprises Of different disguises I must ignore the lies of Reachers and settlers Stalkers and meddlers Those who are aloof And those who are goofs The process never foolproof When animals hide their hooves I took that dubious bet I thought it'd be fun A game of Russian roulette With a fully loaded gun There were unfair rules set That's how you won A one hundred percent threat I'd be hurt a ton It started effecting my health When I couldn't be myself Because my self emulation Amounted to self immolation So I sought your consultation For the vacation Of placation But you took advantage At least from my vantage I could see your rampage Straight from the Stone Age Like a time traveling mage That summoned a cage There was a pattern We kept going around Like the rings of Saturn Until I hit the ground You made me foolishly wait to test me And then hated when things got messy Now you claim that you're a blessing For what you do after ********** You must be jesting Confidence cresting Never confessing Or addressing The emotional underbelly You just like to undersell me Saying that I'm underwhelming I'm talking to a tundra telling me That it makes me a better me Apologizing not part of your plan You tell me you don't understand You must think I'm stupid To treat me so putrid My patience you've used it So the dead weight loosened Once I let go of your noose hand You come back begging You incorrectly pegged me As forgiving not petty I guess you never met me Or at least said goodbye to the best me After never acting on the behest of me And making me think less of me You've become a pest to me Not part of my destiny Just part of the generic sea Of those I let be

when I go it will be impossibly late and I’ll leave you not multi-talented bars or pairs of randy ingots itching to procreate in a splendid explosion of golden delight what I’ll leave you is a stale-air larder filled just this once by dully packaged thoughts and duller feelings when I have them they could only couple if enlivened with musical prodding or the sigh effecting benefits from hands full of mood-altering pharmaceuticals so please yourself instead and don’t put them to any use bury them deep better yet pile them high on Pyrrhic pyres where the gathering scorch will send down leaden puddles while precious platinum curls rise up to trickle trickster tears my greatest possible reward

Direction Lost - Quantum Loop
Who are you to judge, does my very existence mean that much is every breath I take a very own tragedy for your ******* sake? Who are you to judge, everything I do or say I mean, Society it just isn't your game to play. Who are you to judge, every choice I choose common' you really think you have nothing to lose Who are you to judge, the very own features of my body I mean, afterall doesn't that make me somebody? People turn their backs pretending not to care when really all they feel is that judgemental stare. See your not even living In my eyes your not even forgiving. You put people up and tear them back down in their own sorrow people try not to drown You make lives worse you hurt everybody you even make the biggest person feel like nobody. You make up stupid rules and make people reticuled because being yourself means being a fool Oh why do you judge? the basics of a person It's not even right It's wrong and up tight See you started a war nobody can shut the judgement door oh Society can't you see your effecting everyone, even me. Words begin to spread originality is oh so dead stereotypes aren't dieing the **** things are multiplying You've think you won and everythings done? Oh no, see Society I have more to say just wait, I'll have MY time and right of day.

Speechless Judgement
Mirrors are a powerful medium for returning energy, just like a medieval message in a bottle. Wrap me in your desolate womb, oh barren mistress of death. Do you really need to be sworn in? Sky above and earth below, feel my raging aphrodisiac amidst this eclipse of tantric rites. ***** my horoscope in this zodiac, and grow beyond this medieval heresy. Magick is the science or art of effecting change by the conformity of the will; and you are a sacred star in the night sky. Let us scribe incantations beyond desert horizons where Kali displays her direction of seasons. Spring is in the East, Summer is in the South, Autumn is in the West and Winter is in the North.

This Hell which we reside is not like the Hells of old It's something new It's effecting our heart and our mind we're asking so many questions because it's answers we're trying to find But like the Hells of old and the Hells of new it continues to stand but like the Berlin wall one day they will all FALL

It will all fall
For the past few months Our great nation has experienced great tragedies But we didn't turn out to be sloths Though our fates are still bidden As the brumous weather draws near A hirareth comes with fear But the spirit of Christmas gets warmer The yuletide becomes louder It's about time to heed this very call We must stand up for the good of all It cradles an ambiguous thought Which the human hear long sought In this form of literature I hope to inspire the people of this nation, to understand its nature And start effecting some changes To seek out the strangest, To venture the wilderness of the lost peace & harmony And restore this country's prosperity In this season, may we stop all forms of quarrels For we are no rebels Of this glorious season That brings joy to me with a great reason This Christmas is a grandiose season Let us stop every kind of treason Let us set aside all our hard feelings That has been harboured in our hearts Let this Christmas be different Let this be the time when we relent Let this be the Christmas when we share Everything that we may share for this season is rare It's Christmas time We share not just a dime Even prayers for our fellowmen And joy for all men

It's Christmas Time
Sugar nightmares haunt children Nancy harlequins cane them Oh, child of mine your life you did, away, sign. Force fed familiarity with already branded emotions, irregular realities and clouded surreal formalities, so very many humans’ form dichotomies out of our shared mute gray; spinning constant self-important prose. So very many humans share so much, so little, not often doing little to soften all of their emotional blows trying hard to strike enigmatic pose. Oh, child of mine the heart of utilitarian method has receded in incredulous fashion followed by authoritarian apologies; the majority is not icecream people spreading simple good thought, but generations fraught with trivial conformist ideologies. We are all hiding our seams with creative masks and self created tasks. Oh, child of mine your prescription reality is revealing itself as Atlantis, sinking and shuddering into Quaaludes with frightening psychotic interludes. Emotions paint stained lurid faces, dancing with ludes effecting movement, nudes of swaying and repose. You arose deeming so much rightfully yours waltzing through seemingly already opened doors. Holy curb their anti-Christ Consider your aging soul Oh, child of mine Belief of awareness in action understand the probability of dissatisfaction, Stop! treating the moment as a bleak bridge to the next inaction. Eventually ponderous thoughts form resembling an orrery, an incessantly philippic story orchestrates your oleaginous personality. Oh, child of mine Youth flees and your mind takes once again to the seas, a vexing penumbra of perception. Bathos permeates the fathoms of an obstreperous life and if you still care, lament that this meaningless congeries of moments inspires only delusion, no disillusionment. Eventually a lilting threnody leading 'tween burning pews of proposed serenity and the following bumping callithump will firmly stamp you into black infinity. Oh, child of mine You've used the switch too much too often coupled with lofty scoffing giving the innocent up as offering to the mechanical engine              of organic creation.

Logical doesn’t have taste. It has circumstance. Only to be tasteful, is to be surrounded by a taste of what gradually makes a self importance greater to yourself. Proudly underestimating yourself at first. Giving closure to the surrounding areas. Taste has no boundaries here. A made-up friction. A made-up functionality. A dripping faucet without clarity. Dripping one social taste at any given time. Clarity giving rise to the surrounding areas with logical ingredients. Logical ingredients slapping taste buds without concern for logical praise. Logical praise that doubts it’s understanding of taste buds giving praise to ingredients without concern for how praise will affect it’s priorities. Priorities finishing the diversity of something logical with a taste. The taste buds feeling the diversities finalizing ingredients in their rightful places. Like shiny white plates on display for the crowd of praises effecting one’s own priorities. Teeth whitening the taste buds for greater effect. Praises finally giving the logical praise the taste it deserves. More surrounding areas include a broader crowd. A newer logical taste starts to emerge in the practice of ingredients giving logical praise to the logical priorities that govern it so. Praise from newer surroundings influencing more ingredients in the form of logical taste. More taste buds start feeling the diversities in the praise which salivates the practice of logical assessments. A reverse act giving rise to a simplified logical taste without boundaries.

She sings, unites beautiful melody with a naturally melodious language The end result being how I don't have a clue what she's saying chanting the mantra given to her by the bearded sage in the terry cloth bathrobe who told her "your mind is a vast field where elephants gather to play" before conferring the mantra She lets the Sanskrit words roll over her tongue a vernacular of formidable power effecting even those who don't speak a word such was I, Sanskrit illiterate, but the repetition opened the lotus flower of my heart the baby blue visage of Sri Krishna materialized from the words she was singing I took away his flute and blew a line from an old Jethro Tull song she thought it enchanting but Krishna was not happy to see his vaunted woodwind in the hands of a mere mortal he stepped up to me, polite as can be he says "if you don't give me my instrument I will be forced to cut off your hands, and then what do you think will happen to this poem?" I stood my ground, possession being two thirds of the law I blew the flute solo from Genesis' "The Musical Box" (having known it by heart) the blue boy asked several times for me to give him that almighty flute each time I told him "No! You'll have it soon enough" apparently not soon enough (For he felt a pair of garden shears slice firmly through his right hand the same set of shears severed his left he dropped his stylus and papyrus to the ground toppled over, landing smashly with a great crash within a matter of time he bled out from the stumps where his hands had once been attached Krishna picked up his flute and said "what a pity" and vanished into thin air it all ended quickly as it had begun and the sweet lady never stopped chanting her mantra in fact her back had been turned before Krishna even showed up it was a great shock to find her gentleman friend's lifeless and handless body on the ground She shed a tear I was no less miserable and sad wished above all else that I had been a real poet so I could have finished the man's life work)

I stood my ground, possession being two thirds of the law I blew the flute solo from Genesis' "The Musical Box" (having known it by heart) the blue boy asked several times for me to give him that almighty flute each time I told him "No! You'll have it soon enough" apparently not soon enough (For he felt a pair of garden shears slice firmly through his right hand the same set of shears severed his left he dropped his stylus and papyrus to the ground toppled over, landing smashly with a great crash within a matter of time he bled out from the stumps where his hands had once been attached Krishna picked up his flute and said "what a pity" and vanished into thin air it all ended quickly as it had begun and the sweet lady never stopped chanting her mantra in fact her back had been turned before Krishna even showed up it was a great shock to find her gentleman friend's lifeless and handless body on the ground She shed a tear I was no less miserable and sad wished above all else that I had been a real poet so I could have finished the man's life work)

She carried them about, stones in her pockets. Each one a little secret. The weight of them distracting her in conversations. The bulk of them effecting her posture. They would knock when she would walk. While she could manage the slight though ever present force they exerted she was perpetually terrified that one day, in the midst of some random encounter, a small hole would open up allowing them to tumble out. They did eventually become too heavy and the pressure of them made a space where sickness poured in taking their place. Stones in the pockets was not the official diagnosis. But that's what killed her. I know because I watched it. And I miss her.   That one woman who loved me unconditionally. I need her at times like now. I carry no stones of my own and I am not afraid of holes but sometimes we need the kind of love that has no strings like when the other kinds wish to bury us.

Honest
we all coexist within another. father time, granting us a constant movement of life a cloaked, bearded man with the power of an hourglass. an endless cycle of highs and lows effecting the world as above so below. alas, without love, the earth would turn to dust drawn together, since the beginning of eternity father time founded mother earth. intertwined out of chaos, a nurturer was born. to create out of love, trees alongside the sea time never catching up to the speed of light equality of the unknown, transpiring its purpose to live granted, the universe aligns in peace nirvana at its peak solely, as an individiual we seek the hidden purpose beyond ones navigation of life

time, love, trees, the universe & if we're alone in it
Part One We sat on a strange wooden platform Which hung suspended From a strange metal structure. And we kissed in the daylight With cars passing by. It struck me then That I hadn’t kissed anyone in the daylight With cars passing by In over two years. And I’d never before Kissed anyone in the daylight With cars passing by Who identifies as a Marxist. Or who loves Virginia Woolf. Or who takes her sandals off to splash in muddy water without prompting and Without even rolling up her jeans. Or whose love of life captures her in the same contradictions as mine. And I haven’t written a love poem For someone who might also be writing me love poems In over two years But this is it. Here it is. This is it, Here it is, In four days We will live in separate cities And then I might not kiss anyone in the daylight With cars passing by For two more years Or two more after that but Such a possibility strikes me as unlikely. Not because we can commute but because you showed me As we hung suspended on a strange wooden platform Kissing in the daylight With cars passing by (As we braved the mosquito bites in that field that night; As we waded through the creek today While thunder cracked all around us And rain poured down right upon us) That I am someone who someone worth loving Can find worth loving. Part Two Or hang on. It doesn’t have to be like that. It doesn’t have to be like kale soup, Which has been connoted for me as representing the preservation of tradition and community while effecting radical change within the food system. It can instead be like artichokes Which I just like For no ******* reason Other than that they’re good. We each got over 40 mosquito bites because, While we lay in a field under the, like, five stars that decided to show themselves at the peak of the Perseides meteor shower, We were too busy making out to give a **** And it was fun. It was fun, and tonight when we got dinner and you asked me to explain why I liked artichokes so much We abandoned our tradition of narrative, us English majors, and we decided to study Sociology, Because sometimes it’s better to look at how things are Before you even ask yourself why.

Dark Shadows Not one stood their ground. Shameful has been their march If Lincoln could speak he could turn us around. This war isn’t civil but it is still brother against brother. Concord Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Antietam. Battles grim many a life in death’s valley grew dim. Cannon and saber tested your oaths of allegiance. Doubts and lies purged what do you give final credence. The nation weathered the storm because it had a Godly soul. Mothers and fathers prayed, united they stood. Sacrifice unto death, freedom unity the goal. Their blood did consecrate it was the mortal strand that held. By our fore fathers, God the heathen first knew. In so little time we are now the heathen. The heights they claimed, we let the standard drop from view. We are products of a lost spiritual heritage. Pride filled cold sophisticated, idolaters all marble stone. America of yesteryear noted for great achievements, today only pity. Their triumphs God’s unquestioned glory shone. In rags we parade laughing bewitched nearing the pit. Faces do register alarm only to find they only regard money. They have spiritual highs black magic angel dust the biggest lie. Forthrightness humility they will never try. But at the same time their whole lives truth they will decry. The beauty of our land polluted with the morally dead. No other battle field has such casualties. The struggle rages effecting our hearts and head. Remain silent and the perverse will strangle your very freedom. Iwo Jima, Corregidor the anthem rang home of the brave land of the free. Our guide posts were God and country. To our children we seared their minds with what’s in it for me Shadows deeply stain the constitution and the bill of rights.

It reeks here. Pungent yet sweet. Like. Accepting an unwanted apology. Woe to the tragically gracious. For they know not of rest. As sharks circle about. Devouring the essence spewed from an unclosing artery. Until all that's left. Is a vacant shell. Not even worth the effort to finish off. Gluttonuos beings. The both. Unknowingky knowing the need. Of eachother. For the cause of such suffering. Bleeds into the affect given. Effecting the rest. Distortion needs no introduction. A slight. Handing over the next. Riddled with more questions. And even as the last die. Is cast. A tear falls. Probably.

Devil May Cry
I want to be cool Like ice, no, like Breeze- unattached. I want to breathe life Into others’ lives- Bring them to tears. Apathy is cool When you don’t care To get hurt or pain. Passion is cool When you give life To things through your pain. Sunshine is cool And you bring light and Cast it through the panes. Cloudiness is cool And you fog up and Distort, to question things. What is not cool Is effecting nothing; Then you are nothing. What is not cool Is feeling nothing When no one cool’s around.

To be cool
I am experiencing some Holiday anxiety It is not over finding the right gift Not over making a list Not over cards I need to write Not over the baking I have to do I think my holiday stress is effecting my baked goods They burned in the oven just today I threw them away The biggest source of Holiday stress Visiting family I have not seen in a long time It just might be a test of my patience I guess I will wait and see what tomorrow brings

Holiday Anxiety
We shall speak, and by speaking loudly and fervently enough, we shall be heard. We shall be heard, and by being heard, we will be dismissed as the lost denizens of a failing society. We shall be dismissed, and by being dismissed, we shall not disappear quietly into the night as our forerunners have done. We shall be branded "Communists" & "Traitors", and in doing so we shall aquire the attentions of those we aim to educate. We shall not be silenced, and by refusing to be marginalized into a portion of "freaks and outcasts", we shall be known. We shall not be paid off or coerced into "negotiations", and by maintaining unity, we shall be outlawed. We shall not accept the scorn of those whose power seems unassailable, and in so doing, we shall be feared. We shall not accept platitudes and half measures as answers to our grievances, and in so doing, we will be persecuted. We shall not accept a world where our worth as human beings is measured by GDP, and in doing so, we will become that which we seek. We shall not accept that "Some people are better than others", rather, we KNOW that liberty is born from knowledge. We shall speak, and by speaking, be heard, and by being heard, we will effect change, and by effecting change, we will be victorious.

We Shall Speak
Experiencing the love we share, Encouraging only the positivity, Explicitly repelling opposed air, Embalming only the negativity, Effecting the feelings that glare. We savour that sweetness now.

Savouring All Love
Should I comminate my enemies, Or simply, Educate those who are kin to me Its sad to say most of my elders aren't men to me Don't take offense, It's not directed towards anyone individually But I'm Ashamed to say most of my people aren't strong mentally We remain in our chains even tho we appear free. Enslaved since birth my rights were stripped from me. Tho, I came up chasing knowledge, I knew the truth was the key Way before college I learned the universe went from zero to infinity About zero point energy And the truth they shroud Surrounding this melanin Multiplying my energy Never dare to hide I don't wish for invisibility So I see the countenance of These racist faces filled with envy Strong Black Man, Convict even if I'm proven innocent You can't say that makes me Militant Just wondering why I was born here and have less rights than immigrants. In a sense, I can't make it in Amerikkka, Regardless of my diligence. Just have to go where my destiny sends me I know my soul is immortal so these cowards could never end me All my life I had to fight Its the Will of Fire within me. Tongue sharp as a knife I can feel the spirit shield me. So I keep my boots on Mother Earth I'll forever war for her. I try to keep my chakras in sync, But may disrespect you If you accept the lies they wrote in ink. We are the original people, Our ancestors were Kings & Queens Yes you I, Even though as blacks we're only expected to die Royalty is in our DNA, not just in our dreams. We've been empowered longer than enslaved things are never what they seem. Wait I forgot, You were distracted by the love of green. No not Anahata, I'm unstruck I don't know if I'm living, Due to dumb luck, Or this Old Soul effecting my conduct. Let me induct you into enlightenment Active your pineal gland like lightning Teach you about the astral its oh so exciting Tho this all begins with you my child Please don't be frightened.
