"elan" poems
A duality of elan vital, two people Spectres of emotion Intertwined by a fuselage of bruised skin & tendon Tissues become orbital, gushing towards grafts Helixes of snot, **** and lymph Boy & girl As they embrace the animating principle and eachother, they fuse A one piece tapestry adorned seamless with no hem, beginning or end Always was, always is Patiently turning to liquid as their being unzips Lying figures of runny makeup and genetic ***** Quintessence, a texture of synaptic potential Corpus Callosum An entirety of self, lost in imbued disintegration Theory of mind, looped & bound I will water the thought Roots envisaged in dystopian amygdala Piercing data packets with a frost-like intensity Forgetting our obsolescence moments ago A neuron dipped in nylon Theta waves and the non-euclidean crux of dissociation Ghosts in the machine, your macro god The sympathies of fractional distillation Digitised/assimilated unto the nanosphere Cold hands and brass backs galvanised in oscillated tears Commodified, sold out and bought Stretching, from purple, white and black slowly losing its colour, amorphous in shape brushed across a smudge, ambiguously chromatic Monetised flesh god An eternity bathed in starlight Cutting an incision in the sky to allow entropy Divided dimensions of energy Fleeting and intangible No longer a delirium of seperation All semantics become light As a rusted vehicle passes overhead And all the worlds questions fade out of existence Flutters of red tape and foregone growth of practice Sinew flayed, integrated towards information Our minds shared In circuits and resistors Photons and electrons We radiate

Though authors are a dreadful clan To be avoided if you can, I'd like to meet the Indian, M. Anantanarayanan. I picture him as short and tan. We'd meet, perhaps, in Hindustan. I'd say, with admirable elan , "Ah, Anantanarayanan -- I've heard of you. The Times once ran A notice on your novel, an Unusual tale of God and Man." And Anantanarayanan Would seat me on a lush divan And read his name -- that sumptuous span Of 'a's and 'n's more lovely than "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan" -- Aloud to me all day. I plan Henceforth to be an ardent fan of Anantanarayanan -- M. Anantanarayanan.

I Missed His Book, But I Read His Name
Elan that lifts me above the clouds into pure space, timeless, yea eternal Breath transmuted into words Transmuted back to breath in one hundred two hundred years nearly Immortal, Sappho's 26 centuries of cadenced breathing -- beyond time, clocks, empires, bodies, cars, chariots, rocket ships skyscrapers, Nation empires brass walls, polished marble, Inca Artwork of the mind -- but where's it come from? Inspiration? The muses drawing breath for you? God? Nah, don't believe it, you'll get entangled in Heaven or Hell -- Guilt power, that makes the heart beat wake all night flooding mind with space, echoing through future cities, Megalopolis or Cretan village, Zeus' birth cave Lassithi Plains -- Otsego County farmhouse, Kansas front porch? Buddha's a help, promises ordinary mind no nirvana -- coffee, alcohol, ******* mushrooms, marijuana, laughing gas? Nope, too heavy for this lightness lifts the brain into blue sky at May dawn when birds start singing on East 12th street -- Where does it come from, where does it go forever? May 1996

Enter the dragon with death and disruption Pride and tradition cataclysmically thrown, Magnificent structures reduced to rubble Distraught people bereft of their homes. Chasms of heartache with bodies of babies Strewn with the bricks in vast disarray, Dust in the air and the howl of the sirens Shouting police on a horror filled day. Christchurch is bleeding, her confidence shattered Our keynote cathedral is lying in shards, Vacant eyed people are clinging to strangers Jagged black holes in suburban back yards. Christchurch is bleeding, our torn, gracious City The nation arises in hurt and alarm, To face the challenge with strength and resources, To nurture our sister with healing and balm. Sympathy shown by the myriad faces Racing to help from all parts of the globe, Expertise offered with money and labour Students with shovels and priests of the robe. Sadness and torment for kin of the missing Frustrated rescuers work till relieved, Moments of triumph with lost resurrected, Agony felt when the dead are retrieved. Led by the strength of the Mayor of the City Courageous citizens help where they can, Moments of bravery, moments of agony Inspirational feats of elan. Poignancy shown by the sad Maori Warden Guiding the aged through the strewn broken glass, Aiding the ambulance crews in their labour Proud to be Kiwi as folk show their class. Christchurch WILL arise from the death and destruction Once again people will overcome grief, Pride and resilience will triumph with the passing And time will repair with deserved relief.

Contemplation is like fishing. Often my reason fails me and I cast out into the waters hoping I can catch that vital energy feel its power, its resistance, its strength that is elusive but I know is there and those moments of connection with that mysterious force give me energy. I am alive so I keep castings into the ocean knowing the elan is there, the verve that takes me from my mind to dance, to move, to swerve in that moment of now. Author’s Note: I bow in gratitude to Brian McLaren and Barbara A. Holmes for their wisdom that inspired this poem and kneel in awe and thanksgiving to all the fish I have caught over the years, for the excitement and nourishment – the life they gave me.

Maieutic dreamer, the ecstatic euphorias of cerebral cortex’s ****** matrix are pandemic.  Extravagant exorbitances of flirtatious flamboyance and flippantly flighty flit-ness.  But what of stint-ness snities?  Excruciating exacerbations of laboriously beleaguering hypercritically meticulous tediums.   Synaptic syntax is fervently intense like a feral phrenic frenzied ****  Ruminating humanity’s collective consciousness gives me hysterical deliriums.  We’re frenetically febrile, atrociously impetuous impudents who don’t know our id conclusion from our impromptu innuendo juncture.  And what of the organizational principles of our subconscious continuums?  Do we only dream about dexterous articulation?  Can we become the agile acuity we envision or do we wallow in the drifty drivel of dour droll’s dreary?  What’s to phatic say about futurity fatidic’s forlorn wanton?  We need chutzpah, moxie savvy’s panache.  Is there no such thing as a universally acceptable ontological deontology?  Probity is as obvious as due yesterday, ethology’s entelechy the omnipresent reward.  Elan vital is not subjective, it’s objective.  Explicating epiphanies of social contiguity’s prospectus so innate as to be irrefragable.  Not perhaps the oligarchies of eclectic synectics, but perhaps the pugnacious audacities of emote to exude aimed imbue.  Assay relay’s convey, foray delay purveys inveigh.  Perhaps if we are all cogently fecund with our vituperatively vociferous the holocaustial cacophony of our obstreperously abstruse will be just what the grotto grouch gumption ordered.  Infusing all with the capability of  aspiring to higher powers and yet not forgetting the mystery of self and others.  I know I know what an ingratiating sycophant on the introjection.  Gambits of alluvium aloof impunity when we all know immunity is Epicurean absurdity, but I already covered that on the phrenic aimed holocaustial cacophony.  Seriously of we all enunciate so on the diction of mesomerism's to punctual.  Why can’t that be the essence of accidence ambience acoustics, the arbitrational attenuation of actuator's aorist.  We are not ethereal, we are corporeally preternatural and the sooner we all learn to respect each other to that the sooner we can get down to the sublimely surreal in oneiromancy’s apotropaic panaceas.

*Stellar spirit, fearless flier to high skies, your wings are gifts of freedom, your florid songs, tug at my heart as much as those plumage, your elan, though subdued a bit by harsh weather, takes new shoots, never in disquiet, indomitable, your inner lamp, now burns with camphor light. I see you fly above the storm clouds, singing anthem of your soul, spectacular, in clear weather, cheered by your dear ones near, the hillsides, valleys and dales resound with your dulcet tunes.*

The bird of paradise on wings of freedom, arises
*Isabel sits on the rusted garden bench, my heart misses a beat, yet again as I watch, her eyes are downcast, it's late afternoon, she looks **** tired, dishevelled, distraught. The world is on a slide, going bad to worse, believe me i could see premature grey in her coiffure, she is fired from her job, I can guess, it hits me hard to think she is inconsolable. Then, we all are, who is secure these days! Under a tree, with withered leaves, she sits, climatic change, obviously is playing havoc with it, the evening sun, just slanted westwards, seems unusually cruel to this girl, no cover of thick foliage, moreover. I see children playing around Isabel, even they are soon losing interest, if mirthful they are, make some noise and run around, she would have smiled, I would have felt far better than this! Well, I don't know Isabel, may be her name is different, on evenings I used to watch her from afar, with curious eyes, I admired her incomparable elan, hoping to make friends with her, such a gentle soul she looked. We'd become friends, by and by, I had hope, I saw her smile and loved her sunny side, but before I could meet and ask her out, it happened, even without a notice, I am fired from my job, today. They said the downturn affected us bad, it showed, What can you possibly say, other than, just accepting the pink slip*

I doubt you enchanted me through your eyes, or inebriated with love potion in disguise, Was it your elan that hit my nerves Or the conversation we had fermented into addictive wine, Maybe you are the sorcerer, performing tricks on the heart of mine.

Enchanted lover
I see you sit expectantly biting lips   on the extended museum steps leading to a veranda around the building, that invites a flash mob,of your ilk, effervescent, to come together perform and celebrate, nothing in particular,   except giving a shock pleasure to all those marked  "the other" Once you made me believe, together we make a whole, that is the story we live on I was told, I merely listened, I and you missed few beats and steps here and there find us now in pages different, why, even ages apart, "What a fine specimen,!" a pacifist, I can't but appreciate watching your elan. As if seeing an alien in my home ground, I watch the spectacle, gulping down my discomfiture dutifully, while you romance with much finesse,to the cell phone, you cling on as if it's the beau you want to show off. "Wouldn't she make a fine museum piece?" that would point towards the life style, that highlights only the moment present, and constantly on the run to remain there, while past vanishes and future becomes obscure more and more. With a gentle smile for you to pick up, when you are at peace, I move on; more than the museum pieces still living, I am interested in  regular exhibits I easily grasp.

A museum piece of the present impermanent moment

Beckowing song's, thro the chamber's And corridor's; Crystal chandeliers, Whites in the luster that Pierce. iii. An abatjour, bringing elan up through the floor's, A woo for mine girl; Mi amour', mi amour'. iv. We shalt accend, adamantine. Adaxial, tacent in talk; Taction bloprined.

Homicide bomber through trial and error The epitaph moniker scours my name A sacredot comes to abduct unseen felonies But you and I will never ever be the same We neglect the olive branch We are poles apart Catacomb undercroft, catacomb deposit box The cabinet mourns for me My stigma is lost Big chill runs through our vertebrae It can surely be precise Don't contemplate but ruminate Extinction will suffice We respect the villain We lock horns Catacomb undercroft Catacomb deposit box The cabinet mourns for me Our stigma is lost Diuturnal explication Evanescent predicament Fabricated blade incision It cannot be over yet Diuturnal - explication Evanescent - predicament Fabricatedbladeincision It cannot be over yet Homicide bomber - trial and error Epitaph moniker scours my name Sacredot comes to abduct unseen felonies You and I will never ever be the same We neglect the olive branch We are poles apart

Elan Vital
Pertinaciously vituperative irrefragable determinism.  Inscrutable axis of spontaneities’ imaginative.  Perplexity’s prognosis to prospectus.  Elan vital’s preternatural perpetuity.  Cohesive coherency’s opaque opulence.  Space-time continuum’s natural induction expressed as identity.  Exponentially tangential imagination’s immaturity.  Entropy catalyst blonds.  Spaciotemporal telemetry tactician’s tellurian terrene.  Protractive analyses dimensional delineation.  Reflectively refractive positional empathy.  Prophylaxis protocol.  Objectified manifest's self inductive diminutive minutia iotas of interstitial edict.  Graspy greedy stingy frugal mingy minions.  Manumission’s indentured servant sail.

Frabjously Vorpal
The hollow truth carried on the wind Budding asphodels wilted upon the pyre of paradise Erst the rusted gates of Heaven Deleing corrupt realm deliverance salting The rivers of Eden, Ananta, contemner of dawn Stealing Levannah breaking Sol. Without brethren kith, treading the tide Of redemption thitherto A tear in the fabric of the universe Another drop in the ocean aflame So that that fire humanity could be set Broken vessels as like sunken ships Eclipsing their own elan; Fraying equilibrium averred officers of Hell No more angels standing yet ranked still In offices most high despairing Purities ruination conjunctively As with the same stride sought in Pitched battle- touchable caste Derelict of kin.

The Shroud of Wistfulness
Purely noumenal or epistemologically maieutic?   Existentially transcendental transmogrification, transmute, transude, transubstantiate.  Spiritual apercu’s incarnate.  Infinite possibilities eidetic prospectus perpetrates incorporeity ideology’s perfectible ontology.  Elan vital’s entelechy’s apotheosis.  Psychic clarity’s evolutional ascension.  Perpetuity’s adamant tenacity.  Sentience’s inevitably irrefragable logistical tactician.  Preternatural’s ostensibly immortal fecund.  Yes, lie with me and I will indeed proceed to exceed the parameters of your mind with mesmerizingly enrapturing ecstatic euphoria.  Sublimely surreal futurity fatidic and  decadently arrogant blatant flagrancy.  Incorrigible atrociously impetuous impudence,  pusillanimous no.  Enthrallingly endearing sensually demonstrative flirtatious flamboyance.  What’s to extravagant exorbitance portray……… exserted protuberance’s indefatigably indomitable.  Sexuality’s infrangibly latent virilities, erotica erectile errantry’s hubris!  Feral phrenic frenzied ***** salaciously seductive.

Pneuma’s Epigamic Hubris
Yet to be savoured the hot vessel gifting shape each layer to float aloof formed by lift and separation Finger high a simple layer cooks within chopped, olive oiled, salt and peppered - but not aloof above moons torn asunder are rendered invisible by the bottom fed surge Peppers roasted then rested aloft A second fat yellow flow born of Elan Valley found eggs milk and olive oil to lap, crest and paint over toasted colours rising to crust shy cratered fractions Atop rounded shapes of mushroom and tomato resting sliced drowning under a richer fatter frothy yellow falling flow Hot voids bubble and rise cooked through, risen and browning Behold plated warm autumn colours banded in daffodil gold .

She told me she would take a bullet for me I was left stunned only recalling my hereditary The horrendous guilt emerging all at once before me Until I recognized her inactivity and realized she want listening to me I dropped down on the floor almost instantly Kneeling on one knee hoping her approval of me Pledging allegiance so she knew she has the chance to consult me Every time she recalled her children that neglected her for another woman they didn't know Or the times she felt enigmatic to disown you As she calls out your name begging to return home Hearing your voice and having that bit of hope that one day You mention her, get back to her and abide in her playing with the golden precious sand that make up the land which your ancestors once lived in. I stare at the ruins that lay before me A familiar face I stumble across As I lift the grains of sand hoping its a person I know Unidentified I stand beneath the bridge hoping it will echo my freedom just like it did back home I want to scream a thunder but knowing its too late I'm pelted with stones being told to go home as I sit in font of the TV screen hoping I see a  familiar face before me My country. Hergeysa burco barebera ceerigaabo Our cities names was never meant to be pronounced by you The syllabols were never meant to pass your diseased lips And the delicacy not meant to struggle through your rough throat But they did anyway. Every night I see the elan in her face Whilst providing me with the decree of a fast spree from our relationship The visions we incarcerate together And the identical marks and scars we endeavor With out any confession of our pleasure we seek forever Our heart beat beats twice as fast Forming a rhythmic percussion simultaneously taking a breath of Africa I lay beneath the golden sun as the rays shine through my eyes Proudly defining the color of my skin Showing that none other can be akin As I am the uniqueness of this historical country Mogadishu, bosaaso, Los anod, barberra Our cities names were never meant to be pronounced by you But when we look at our stars one last time I realized that it has been colonized too © S Y A

They were playing the beach boys all day at work today I went up to the computer I typed in Black beach boys on Spotify a white coworker put her hand on her hips she said to me, “Elan, there are no black beach boys, Im sorry.” So I had my graphic designer friend take an old beach boys poster replace their faces with black men Then he changed it to "Black Beach Boyz” I put it on a T shirt very professionally done made me proud I wore it to work the next day My white coworker asked me with a confused face and tone “There really are the black beach boys?” I said with a straight face, “Yes they were the original. Then the white beach boys took their name and music and became famous.” She said after a pause, “Oh, wow. I didn’t know that."

Salacious mesmerism's endemic impromptu (reworked)
Mr. Ivories entertains with elan, daily during cocktails on the mezzanine level. Jolene always orders a Black Russian, mine is a Dewar's and water. We drop a fiver in his basket on the Steinway, along with a request for "Ebb Tide", Jolene's personal favorite. He conjures an image of Fred Astaire at keyboard, his tails flipped elegantly over the piano bench, like long black raven's plumes. Jolene points out two announcers from CNN, seated opposite. Makes us feel important by mere association. Our waitress asks, would we like another round before the hour's end, as we speculate about Mr. Ivories' musical propensity. Time escapes in moonlit harmonic vapors, leaves us already longing our next soiree.

Mr. Ivories
Somewhere between coffee and stupid talks And infinite random city tours & walks. The movie marathons and midday naps Exquisite food and memories gift wrapped. G-talk sessions and plane tickets to anywhere with you along While in the journey, discovering our new favorite song. Imaginary burn books and death glares, Silent sentences spoken through stares. Late night calls and whispers in the dark, Threatening any guy who dares to break our heart. Never judging each other and reading one’s mind My love for ***** and your love for Wine. “I am undateable” to “Open Up” monologues. Putting up with the drama of all the loves lost. Making pop culture references and finding it normal. I don’t remember the last time we were ever formal. Of making our fool in front of the ‘classy’ audience And continuing doing that with elan and confidence. Our love for wanderlust. Places far and bizarre. To spend thrifting and getting broke in a hep bazaar. Overeating and then cribbing about our weight. To consoling ourselves that “him” is worth the wait. Of nagging parents and relatives that crib. Of closing our eyes and letting things slip. Quick fights and quicker reconciliation. Sharing deep secrets & deeper confessions. It is between being mistaken for Lesbians And being mistaken for Sisters. Our ballad is a roller coaster ride that only goes up Our ballad is all these things & more, ready to erupt.

Dear Best Friend, this is for you.
Maieutic dreamer, the ecstatic euphoria of cerebral cortex’s ****** matrix is pandemic.  Extravagant exorbitances of flirtatious flamboyance and flippantly flighty flit-ness.  But what of stint-ness snities?  Excruciating exacerbations of laboriously beleaguering hypercritically meticulous tediums.   Synaptic syntax is fervently intense like a feral phrenic frenzied ****  Ruminating humanity’s collective consciousness gives me hysterical deliriums.  We’re frenetically febrile, atrociously impetuous impudents who don’t know our id conclusion from our impromptu innuendo juncture.  And what of the organizational principles of our subconscious continuums?  Do we only dream about dexterous articulation?  Can we become the agile acuity we envision or do we wallow in the drifty drivel of dour droll’s dreary?  What’s to phatic say about futurity fatidic’s forlorn wanton?  We need chutzpah, moxie savvy’s panache.  Is there no such thing as a universally acceptable ontological deontology?  Probity is as obvious as due yesterday, ethology’s entelechy the omnipresent reward.  Elan vital is not subjective, it’s objective.  Explicating epiphanies of social contiguity’s prospectus so innate as to be irrefragable.  Not perhaps the oligarchies of eclectic synectics, but perhaps the pugnacious audacities of emote to exude aimed imbue.  Assay relay’s convey, foray delay purveys inveigh.  Perhaps if we are all cogently fecund with our vituperatively vociferous the holocaustial cacophony of our obstreperously abstruse will be just what the grotto grouch gumption ordered.  Infusing all with the capability of  aspiring to higher powers and yet not forgetting the mystery of self and others.  I know I know what an ingratiating sycophant on the introjection.  Gambits of alluvium aloof impunity when we all know immunity is Epicurean absurdity, but I already covered that on the phrenic aimed holocaustial cacophony.  Seriously of we all enunciate so on the diction of mesomerism's to punctual.  Why can’t that be the essence of accidence ambience acoustics, the arbitrational attenuation of actuator's aorist.  We are not ethereal, we are corporeally preternatural and the sooner we all learn to respect each other to that the sooner we can get down to the sublimely surreal in oneiromancy’s apotropaic panaceas.
