"eloped" poems
I come to life when you touch me Fluent & continuous. You've unzipped my lips and tossed them to the side. I've never fallen & been caught so freely. I've never paid attention to how flat the world really was. A jagged peninsula Eloped in oceans embrace Curved in explosion. Sometimes it feels like I am Drowning. I've never paid attention to how flat the world really is Chipped off, covered by you falling deeper into you

Flat Blue Sheets
Are you struck with her figure and face? How lucky you happened to meet With none of the gossiping race, Who dwell in this horrible street! They of slanderous hints never tire; I love to approve and commend, And the lady you so much admire, Is my very particular friend! How charming she looks — her dark curls Really float with a natural air; And the beads might be taken for pearls, That arc twined in that beautiful hair: Then what tints her fair features o'erspread - That she uses white paint some pretend; But, believe me, she only wears red She's my very particular friend! Then her voice, how divine it appears While carolling: "Rise gentle moon;" Lord Crotchet lastnight stopped his ears, And declared that she sung out of tune; For my part, I think that her lay Might to Malibran's sweetness pretend; But people won't mind what I say — I'm her very particular friend! Then her writings — her exquisite rhyme To posterity surely must reach; (I wonder she finds so much time With four little sisters to teach!) A critic in Blackwood, indeed. Abused the last poem she penned; The article made my heart bleed — She's my very particular friend! Her brother dispatched with a sword, His friend in a duel, last June; And her cousin eloped from her lord, With a handsome and whiskered dragoon: Her father with duns is beset, Yet continues to dash and to spend — She's too good for so worthless a set — She's my very particular friend! All her chance of a portion is lost, And I fear she'll be single for life; Wise people will count up the cost Of a gay and extravagant wife: But tis odious to marry for pelf, (Though the times are not likely to mend,) She's a fortune besides in herself — She's my very particular friend! That she's somewhat sarcastic and pert, It were useless and vain to deny; She's a little too much of a flirt, And a slattern when no one is by: From her servants she constantly parts, Before they have reached the year's end; But her heart is the kindest of hearts — She's my very particular friend! Oh! never have pencil or pen, A creature more exquisite traced; That her style does not take with the men, Proves a sad want of judgment and taste; And if to the sketch I give now, Some flattering touches I lend; Do for partial affection allow — She's my very particular friend!

My Very Particular Friend
Are you struck with her figure and face? How lucky you happened to meet With none of the gossiping race, Who dwell in this horrible street!

Honeymoon in Singapore
Thousands of electric pulses scattered in confusing patterns. Imagination convulses, tattered, mind under matter. Enveloped by space and time, pardoned by neither, eloped by both. Pacing. Shooting from the hip, mind's eye is blind fire, pawing through the labyrinth, waiting for the shift. Hopeless. Blunder. Shocks. Over.

Midnight Battles
Breeze bellows, leaves echo in quivering psithurism, dithering like unbroken smoke, this approaching omen goads. Dozing crows slumbering in rows, droves of locusts' silenced drone, almost comatose in repose; nighttime overtones choir of toads' raspy croaks answered by alto of crickets' orchestral strokes. Gust encroaches; robed boughs cloven open, bring into scope and focus me juxtaposed, suspended apropos. Although motionless and petrified in stone, provoked by zephyr coaxing to and fro; swaying pendulous and no longer frozen, locus gently thrown. Death rattle moan evoked from throat, reflex can't say no to rigor rigidly posed, final sigh in silence, awoken vocal, expelled and disposed. Smote by morose emotion, gun loaded then exploded by neurosis, now bloated necrosis decomposes into gross ochre. This trophy and this ode both an opus to my inability to cope; romanced i proposed, eloped and betrothed to my own inappropriate composure. Pocket full of posies plucked when luck bestowed and tears in a cup, a toast; crying copiously, tempest runneth overflowed, eyes swollen and soaked. Dipped my toes in the coast of this ocean's amorphous folds, gripped by undertow holding control of my soul; swiftly shipwrecked in shallow shoal, an old atoll. On sandy floor, water burrows roads; digging, carving, roams through unmarrowed silica and sandstone eroding into a cove. A host for opal geode trove, enclosing a technicolor rose, from the depths a glowing mosaic shone Unopened lotus floats on foam of lapping waves, a boat; prone to no grandiose notion or motive, adrift as wind stokes. I suppose this only shows the total corrosion into which I dove, the only foes to oppose are those of burdens, so only weightless can I atone- I must let go.

Bare feet Teared clothes Eyes with tears Consoling her fear She was ***** Broken and burned Still people taped Her parents told her You'll be not married Nor have kids It's better to be silent and mild Her voice being shivered Shouted! If my words Will not shout Rapists voice will be loud World will make me choose Tough honor or life I have nothing to loose Nothing to loose People may refuse May repel my voice But i being robbed And justice is what I wanna eloped ♥️

I see your hand waver, now you're faced with a ghost, not the raw, killer features that were nailed to a post. Just an old, dying cowboy, trying hard to play host. There's a chair if you've mercy, and a story...come close. The liquor of youth lights a fire in you, son. Puts that flame in your eyes and the heat in your lungs. I wore that expression, before your thread was spun,   so let me unload, you can shoot when I'm done. Growing sore in my saddle as the nag became lame,   I sold off my shooters, then re-mortgaged my name. But tease out the creases, we're exactly the same; two felons of fortune, wanting someone to blame. See, I never got settled, didn't take me a wife. Sailed a ship in a bottle, on the edge of a knife. I put stock in misfortune and invested in strife, took diminished returns, paid no interest to life. But corralling cattle won't hold them for long, they're born to roam free where they know they belong. Soon the lipstick and whiskey begins to taste wrong, as the backroom piano sighs its monotone song. By a tangerine sunset I scraped off my boots and considered an orchard as it set down its roots. As a buzzing of insects idly nurtured its fruits, I was deafened by silence. My own garden was mute. So I clutched at the earth as I fell to the floor, to ask for forgiveness, as you darkened my door.   Seems redemption's eloped, like a gold digging *****   Just a name on a tombstone, for a few dollars more. Quite an end would be fitting for a fool so innate,   who has squandered his years until the hour is late. Son, unholster your weapon and wipe off the slate, I beg execution, swift vengeance,  But wait... Did I catch my reflection as it fell from your face? Like a hound in a heatwave, too tired to give chase?   Son, the trail that you're riding is easy replaced. You can stand in the sunlight, or come sit in my place.

At age six you bought me a pretty lady doll I remember your anger The day I married her to another lady doll. At age sixteen you bought me a beautiful dress I remember your anger When I asked for a suit instead. At age twenty six you b(r)ought me a husband I remember the day so clearly even now It was the day I eloped with my girlfriend.

the expectations of the father
Turbulence of displaced warmth. A shiver hooking limbs with the lure of touches promised by sultry eyes now closed to the world for the night. Exiled from mind. Seduced by fatigue. Your lover eloped with a dream leaving you behind to walk alone along the stair to the kitchen and the dinner abandoned there because of her promise.

Turbulence
*In deep psychedelic trance his companion painted canvases that mix past, present and future, factually as quantum physics would vouch; all of it co-exists, don't turn a blind eye, it's not fair. "There is more past here that try to unseat future, than the presence of present, we would make reality sleep won't believe in its patented lies, we'd create a present, in its fantasy, see the future" The narrative is pictured as fallows: The Cat and the Mouse stopped their games, they invented as a past time, and also serious business. Lucky prince befriended a happy pauper. The beauty beguiled the friendly beast, both eloped and lived happily somewhere. The bored king hugged the leader of the coup "I was dying to abdicate at the earliest, you were my last hope, good riddance" he yawned, sounding like cockerel. He looked much relieved; uneasy is the head on which a crown sits like a ****** politico at the moment of election result. The painter watching what is going on said: "Well, the colors I selected this far, were all wrong. Now, I am going to look twice before I decide" But when she worked on her imagination her manifesto was thrown out, she was far more spontaneous there is the rub. Can't say, whether the philosopher was pleased or not, one can't  definitely tell he only smiled and hurried back to catch the last bus he missed.*

The Last Bus
When I reached in to clean off the glitter on your face, Did your throat ache because of the unheard voice? When I said: relax I won't kiss you did the unheard voice say: "I wish you would!"? This then music that was denied All the times I didn't touch you, did you shiver and get chills? Did my wondrous breath caress your hairs then? Did your follicles once wake? Leading to yawning pores Inviting the warmth, of a touch, and the moist excretion of the connection thereof And your dry lips with lines dividing symbolizing the walls of your soul yet to be broken and your bright eyes when the right words are spoken Or the nerve-wrecking look that had me choking I was myself and I truly was, maybe you thought I was joking Was it the distance or questionable persistence? The fear maybe, that had you critical of what you should feel Perhaps the vicissitudes of fate that have a stationary couple reel Or the gravity of occurrences, where I had to keep up appearances Maybe just you. Maybe just me. Or the doubtful We. In all reason; logical to think that perhaps the feel that keeps me away from you and you feeling like a slave when with me if you believed and trusted, we could have eloped Escaped the prison of doubt and insecurity, uplift the hope Use the ladder of surrender climb down the 'chance' rope and then we'd elope But you stayed with the other guy who says what you want to hear who drives the car that has them cheer who sports a profile that gives him credit Never minding your heart's merit I leave and enter the wild I am a wolf from afar And a die-hard romantic at heart These are the melodies that live on Unsung hymns of love lore May they be heard deeply and penetrate as the sound of spores.

**There once was a poor cowboy, Who had one Horse and a Cow toy.** But, one summer day The Horse eloped away! At the Cow's back and left the cowboy. #Limerick Kikodinho Alexandros Jumeira,Dubai 23rd November2016

There Once Was A Poor Cowboy (Limerick)
Pencil lapsed over paper, strokes struck blank. Curves raced up and down the stairs, lines longed to curve. Loops eloped to a wedding Spirals sprung out, Dashes dashed, Crosses squares with circles Triangles jumped over rectangles Ovals wove throughout Dot was left to point out The empty blank around him

The Drawing
Your cruel crimson lips Blood dripping from your finger tips My love a shattered work of art The result of my broken heart Splatters of scarlet hope Mark the sheets where we eloped My love a discarded virginity The result of my mistaken affinity Garnet was the decadent shade Of the dress that veiled my vestal glade My love a slippery hemline The result of my relentless pine The rusty curls on your head Delivered me willingly into the bed My love a handful of tangled hair The result of my wanton affair The flowers he sent were red Reluctantly, I told him you were dead My love a half-hearted lie The result of my wandering eye A ring offered, of ruby and gold Silver is better, but I was sold My love a rehearsed song The result of my doing wrong A burgundy kiss for a charming knight A wedding of chastity white My love a perfected role The result of my injured soul An artificial cherry-flavored *********** Sloppy second copulation My love a feigned first The result of my unquenched thirst The sheet is stained with merlot Out with the trash, then he will never know My love a memorized line The result of my spilled debaucherous wine.

It’s in newspaper ads, and on T.V, Pasted everywhere for us to see. A new entertainer in town, they say, Giving a performance before going away. Who is it this time, I wonder, Who is it that people go to with a cheer? It’s a ventriloquist, a puppet man, He’s supposedly made everyone his fan. And so it was to see the show I went, It was a boring life’s escapade, godsent. Robby Rob, was his name, This name so engulfed in fame. He was spectacular, and really good, Now everyone’s excitement I understood. There he was on stage, About twenty five years of age. He and his puppet, joking, laughing, To everyone happiness he did bring. Then the show was done, He left with a smile on his face, We had had our share of fun, While he and his puppet left in grace. How happy he looked, how content was he, He seemed to be satisfied and filled with glee. But, who knew what was really happening, In his life from the beginning? For in his room, So full of gloom, The ventriloquist was a different person, One who looked glum and devoid of fun. Who knew,  that he was an abandoned orphan, Who had struggled for obtaining a bun? Who knew, the problems in his life, His heart cancer, his huge bank debt, his eloped wife??? The lifeless puppet, his only friend, The only one who’ll stay till the end. As he sheds his tears, One falls near his puppet’s eye, And as he is filled with his ever growing fears. Along with him his puppet does cry… They hug each other, close and tight, For them, nothing seems to be going right. And yet, and yet, I walk home with envy Thinking that the Ventriloquist’s life is happy and carefree…

ROBBED BY TIME Once upon a time, A friend in need at all times, Time was such my best friend And so we hopped till the end. To my castle he'd come, For he was always welcome Any time he ever wanted to, Something my queen loved too. We'd ramble woodland paths together As he reeled off one story after another, All day long having a good time Till when castle bells could chime. Time was not of this world, But a great war lord Of a very far away land, King unto the realm of fairy land. He who had a novelty crown Bestowed upon him by a fairy clown, A crown not of gold but of palest silver, A precious gem from the fairyland silva. With lurve in the air one morning, My friendship with Time died aborning When he chose to do something frivolous Just when the Sun's rays were so glorious. Time emblazed my heart, Something that didst hurt When he smiled unto my wife, Such a great shock unto my life. He gravitated towards her after a deep sigh, Like a whirlwind, my mind whirled high. He thus gallantly asked her for a dance, And was granted a golden chance. Keenly I watched this flint-hearted boy, Thought him skint but feared not nor coy. With alacrity and in broad day light Together they cwtched in delight. He whom I always enjoyed with the wine, There enjoying with a queen of mine Whilst committing mischief; This friend of mine such a thief. Time whispered thus into my Queen's ear, Whispers I could hardly hear: Alas! He promised her the moon For they'd eloped by noon, To places strange I might never have a clue, To where mortals have never dared walk to, All the way to the realm of fairy land, Such, such a very far away land. ©Kikodinho Edward Alexandros 10th Aug 2016.

Close the curtains On this last act Call home the trains Bring me back Time has eloped With my dreams I've learnt to cope On meagre means Preach the truth To he who hears Dig up the roots Bury your cares Hide my letters In an open box Untie my fetters Use all the locks Life is a paradox Running to its death Watching all the clocks To be the last one on earth.

Life is a paradox
Little sapling growing between a rock and a hard place. Weathering what life is surrounding you. No friends of yet but you are only a sapling give it time. Moments passing watching scenery elope to shifting seasons beauties. Sea air invigorating as rain trickled from above dancing on your now maturing leaves, tickling as each one weaved its way down, like teardrops they descended on there journey of life carrying on. The Cliffside sighs, and teardrops of rocks descend, woeful of those this motion that swept away, beauty that clung silently there. The sapling is of branches and leaves giving needed shelter to tired wings. Seasons whisper by as the sun and moon dance above her gaze. Roots delicately weave deeply into the Cliffside keeping here steady, for if it were to sigh again her fate steadfast in this place between a rock and a hard place. Her leaves happened upon a blossom, so delicate in its serenade of colour against the harsh rock face. Like a parent when winds were bleak shielding its frailty with branch and leaves, it only lost a petal this time. She flowered in the seasons, blossom invigorated the surroundings of what was bleak, like teardrops of love for a time they painted vivid etchings on the Cliffside till they faded nourishing those of lesser stature. As she yawned on the morning rising above the horizon, she felt motions upon her leaves. Never in her time had she felt such gentle touches, as palms glided over her foliage. Feeling the breeze from up high, the cliffs edge she had flourished in growth, now little eyes saw her in full blossom as the seasons had changed. Laughter ensued when gusts eloped with blossom. Pink and light shades of magenta danced between children, a fence keeping wondering thoughts safe from the fallen dreams at the bottom of the Cliffside. Leaves caressed the winds and she was content.

Her leaves happened upon a blossom, so delicate in its serenade of colour against the harsh rock face. Like a parent when winds were bleak shielding its frailty with branch and leaves, it only lost a petal this time. She flowered in the seasons, blossom invigorated the surroundings of what was bleak, like teardrops of love for a time they painted vivid etchings on the Cliffside till they faded nourishing those of lesser stature. As she yawned on the morning rising above the horizon, she felt motions upon her leaves. Never in her time had she felt such gentle touches, as palms glided over her foliage. Feeling the breeze from up high, the cliffs edge she had flourished in growth, now little eyes saw her in full blossom as the seasons had changed. Laughter ensued when gusts eloped with blossom. Pink and light shades of magenta danced between children, a fence keeping wondering thoughts safe from the fallen dreams at the bottom of the Cliffside. Leaves caressed the winds and she was content.

The tomorrows can't come soon enough And the yesterdays pass too swiftly Differing between lies and love Is a gift no longer with me And still I cannot help But look ahead until the day When love's more than just a word And finally I'm on my way I still yearn to lay it out Put my heart on the line again To leave the places that I've traveled And find the one I've never been I'm restricted to running blind But running nevertheless Lest the pulse start to slow And fade into nothingness At times it seemed I'd never stop And I was nearly giving in No longer was I searching out But content with places I'd already been And suddenly there she was Real and no mirage I'd hoped I tried to reign my emotions in But my heart already had eloped To soon, it seems, to think these thoughts But I confess I can almost see Something real in her words And the places that I want to be Too soon to dream, common sense cries Maneuver slowly round the bend But as I open up my heart I confess she's falling in Where we'll go, I cannot say I can only speculate To continue on my way And leave tomorrow up to fate

Hopeful Romantic
As the Nightingale sings... His sweet song of happiness Driven by bountiful liberation Relieved from timeless crappiness Fluttering, making a joyful noise Trials to deprive him of craftiness Surely fails at inflicting such harm He sings gleefully, free of nastiness. As the Nightingale sings... His wrenching song of fear Realizing his time can easily fall At any moment danger may appear Songs of melodic screechy whistles Alerting of predators lurking clear He's hurt, used to frequent viewing His kin die, for each he sheds a tear. As the Nightingale sings... His sensual song of passion Strong vocals of desired courtship Refusing to share his ration With many rivals upon his branch Alluring females with his attraction Mating rituals commencing in love His plumage thrives in new fashion. As the Nightingale sings... His saddened song of sorrow Wishing for better times to come Hoping to make it to the morrow Living below a abundant food chain With a short lifespan to borrow Singing til his last breath is breathed Eloped to heaven, a angel he follows. © Michael P. Smith

As The Nightingale Sings
'Twas in the eventide of June Whilst he didst lay in a pit of despair When a lass fair as a silvery moon Stately sailed his way as a zephyr Yet majestically as drops of dew Rollin' upon boughs of emerald fair. Heaven's ever fair golden eye Had sprinkled her very last ray To pave way unto night maidens That evermore bedight heaven's bay With luster that in perpetuum gladdens Naked eyes in a way i canst not say. Radiant hope in his eyes shone bright To potter beside a beauty queen Whose eyes thrice brighter than light Fair like as sails of diamond hewn, Opalescent as robes of Sirius in the night Whilst decamping at the fall of dawn. Euphonious lullabies into her ear Mellifluously he didst sing and sing, For her to know she's all he did revere. A fair diadem unto her he did bring, For her to forevermore hold it dear Queen unto him she's, and him her King. But yonder stars in lone splendor Coveted him and the beauty queen, For her effulgence surpassed their luster That as passes a fiend with eyes unseen When the wind is hushed into slumber, So did spy upon 'em with eyes keen. Alas! As we all know naught lasts forever, The looming veils of night began to vade Whilst stars in a splendiferous cluster Upon celestial shores coyly didst wend; And his visage grew pale by dawns luster, For far off with his queen they'd eloped. ©Kikodinho Edward Alexandros, Los Angels, California, USA. 24th/09/2018

FAIRY WHISPERS (I)
You thought you could spread your legs to the first stranger who spoke your name, but even then you were so ashamed of your skin, the marks and scars of the body you were born in that you eloped. You never came back. You asked what you had to do to be loved. To be wanted. It was all you've wanted. The first boy whom you confessed to smiled, amused, and asked, so? It's the question you've been trying to answer all your life. so? Your first kiss was at eighteen, ugly and untouched. He only wanted your body, but you've forced yourself to think otherwise. Oh, love. It is so sad to live in your own body, to watch him watch her, watch her link her arm around you and starts telling you about her problems Problems. oh, you had them too. but you were just a listener, with ears always, always open. you felt like a mute. your mouth filled with sand. Do they know how much you love yourself? You did. You had to. You were trying, but no. You were not enough. At night he is always there, in your bed. Your brother, i mean. Whispering how much he loves you. But in the morning he is gone and you have not seen him ever since. This does not make sense. No, no more questions. Nothing will ever make sense. Today, you texted a boy who used to love you, and when he didn't text, you nodded to yourself. it's alright. you expected this. be calm. don't panic. your friends call you the queen of sarcasm, of loudness. Some asked why you were always so depressed. Depressed. Empty. Sad. Vulnerable. It's all you've ever been since the day you saw the front door close behind your father. Since the day you left your own country. But your days no longer revolve around your mother's sadness, or your father's violence. And you are too old now. No more lighting candles. No more days of fresh hotel sheets and smells of sunscreen. In December, a boy confessed he liked you. You didn't want to choose him because you were lonely. And when you wanted to choose him because you were lonely, he was not there. You thought if he comes, you would give him all your love. All the yellow light you've been hiding in your heart. You wanted simplicity. Love and his eyes. Stop, this is getting too long.

Paperclips
The beautiful hum matching the soft tone of the music. As the records spins, the world passes on. Night and day rise to the blossom of life. Roses sprouting the colors to the world. Days opens up with rays of light to match the soft stroke of the key of music. Night's low hazy light glistens the dark air with the low humming a the music. Tunes creatures mumble tunes but to be only swallowed by the rustling wind that captures their soft spoken tune. It flows echoing through the pure, sweet air. Hum the tune of your beat that marches your life. The grand dance has eloped us in journey of love and life that flows into the grande white ball room. Dancing on the endless rotation of the black disk. Revolving round and round. We spin n spin hearing that same tune clash with new ones. Melodies spin with life, the tune we love dances with us. Embracing us as we spin endlessly on the musically sound. We bound to listen everyday as nature blossoms and fades away. Beats of soft strokes of the needle begin to slow the dance. Give one last mighty twirl. See the world of beauty and horror one last time. Hear the tempo of the tone you danced all this way. As you twirl, taking your last step. Tears roll down your face with a smile gleaming on your lips as you raise your head at the world fading to a blur of light. Pure rose petals falling on the records black disk. Time has come where the musical tone is.. Slowing down.. Growing quieter by the moment.. Slowing fading to nothing... The needle lifts up. Emptiness and quietness fills the grand ballroom. The silence was broken as It's arm with a point glides slowly over a new black plate. A new tune is played as it lays on top of the old. Music flows with the new and the old. Night and day blossom to a new world and journey. New roses are born. As goes for the music.The records never stop rolling. Neither does the dance of the beat of what we call life..
