"encircling" poems
~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ After days of long studies comes the days of rest. My violet dreams were slumber-soft filled with lucent lilies of curling flames born of ever colour known and unknown. And I stood in awe of them as my fears fall back and cower in the shades of my mind. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ I muse at how quickly my body relaxed. Due to my marjoram'd pillows and sheets of pure silk and eiderdown? Or due to the sips of the lavender tea in my in my teacup decorated with a butterfly motif? ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ I remember the sips in fours as I blew the steam from my cup; The first sip balmed my lips. The second soothed my throat. The third lulled my thoughts. The fourth stilled my soul. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ Though the tea, the pillow and sheets were had a hand in my nightly rest, the real answer is on my brow - for it was when the night's cool air blew, and where you placed your sweet Morphean kiss. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ With a smile, I wake. Sat on my golden summer throne located in my marble gazebo; a jewel in my private garden. With thin caryatid pillars, draped in fine doric chitons encircling me. Their sculpted limbs hold up the frieze carved with acanthus that has a stained glass top of peacocks and stargazers. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ The sheer curtains billow when the eastern winds blow. By me, a gold side table with a mirrored top supported by three Greek key legs. A pewter quill pen with a steel nib and violet feather rests by its clay inkpot; both beside a silver sinuous nouveau vase and a small stack of poetry books of black leather and gilt. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~

*Blue is the boulder overlooking the bay Loosely pocked by weather-worn stains Unwavering guardian of all that lay Enigmatic yet silently screaming its pains Blue is the reflection dancing playfully Laid generously by the twilight moon Upon the vast canvas of the darkened sea Elated ripples readily accepting such a boon Blue is the halo encircling the moon Lavish circlet gifted by the sun Unnoticed by eyes that slumbered too soon Evading the sands of time that run Blue is the silhouette of a lone sailboat Lurching and bobbing by will of the waves Unknowingly catching the zephyrs that float Eluding the fingers from watery graves Blue is the man; perched upon the boulder Lapping up the stars mirrored upon the sea Usurped heart of his had never sung drearier Ensnared by woeful wonderment...*                                            that man is me...

Spectrum Blue
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent. All the whales in the wider deeps, hot are they, as they urge on and on, and dive beneath the icebergs. The right whales, the sperm-whales, the hammer-heads, the killers there they blow, there they blow, hot wild white breath out of the sea! And they rock, and they rock, through the sensual ageless ages on the depths of the seven seas, and through the salt they reel with drunk delight and in the tropics tremble they with love and roll with massive, strong desire, like gods. Then the great bull lies up against his bride in the blue deep bed of the sea, as mountain pressing on mountain, in the zest of life: and out of the inward roaring of the inner red ocean of whale-blood the long tip reaches strong, intense, like the maelstrom-tip, and comes to rest in the clasp and the soft, wild clutch of a she-whale's fathomless body. And over the bridge of the whale's strong phallus, linking the wonder of whales the burning archangels under the sea keep passing, back and forth, keep passing, archangels of bliss from him to her, from her to him, great Cherubim that wait on whales in mid-ocean, suspended in the waves of the sea great heaven of whales in the waters, old hierarchies. And enormous mother whales lie dreaming suckling their whale- tender young and dreaming with strange whale eyes wide open in the waters of the beginning and the end. And bull-whales gather their women and whale-calves in a ring when danger threatens, on the surface of the ceaseless flood and range themselves like great fierce Seraphim facing the threat encircling their huddled monsters of love. And all this happens in the sea, in the salt where God is also love, but without words: and Aphrodite is the wife of whales most happy, happy she! and Venus among the fishes skips and is a she-dolphin she is the gay, delighted porpoise sporting with love and the sea she is the female tunny-fish, round and happy among the males and dense with happy blood, dark rainbow bliss in the sea.

-Until We Meet Again- Pele has lost one of her lovers. I miss the goddess in all her majesty; Her deep blue oceans, sweet sandy beaches, Her dark black hair billowing down like the lava from the peaks of Her highest volcanoes. Her seven sacred pools, each one cascading gracefully into the next, all finally spilling into her magnificent sea. Her gorgeous body will forever entice my mind, with hair dark and beautiful, inhaling the scent of fresh pineapple and coconut, a hibiscus flower pinning back strands of hair behind her ear. Her eyes, they were just as deep and amazing as the sea, something with which they were so familiar. With lips red and lined with Hawaiian love songs sung just for you, tasting as fresh and young as the ocean itself. Her body was adorned with fresh tropical flower leis and Kukui beads falling gracefully over ancient Hawaiian dress; all made from the same grass and leaves coming from the islands many trees. All encircling those perfect hips, born to Hula and sway to any island rhythm, be it the slow and steady rattle of the Uli Uli, or the fast and powerful beat of the Pahu drum. Finally pushed over the edge by the sight of her long tan legs, not shy to the suns warmth and fiery grasp, ending in bare feet more familiar to the islands then we’ll ever be. I miss her and all her islands. Oh, how I miss the island paradise Hawaii.

May these cold waves be bygones, May the crops be ripened & harvested, May your family be full of health. Happy Lohri to North Indians, Happy Pongal to South Indians, Happy Makar Sankranti to all. Come let us all sit encircling the bonfire, Come let us all pray by offering peanuts, Come let us all be blessed with sunlight.

Happy Lohri & Happy Pongal
They enter the café just as some sappy pop song is playing They order then immediately hug Embrace Swaying to one side, together, like the wind Encircling the leaning tower of Pisa Then teetering to the other solstice Foot to foot, smile to smile, hand round skirted waist Forearm resting on his tall  blazered shoulders This is forgivable in the young Those teeny-boppers with defiant hair-cuts and posters However, he has peppered hair She, though voluptuous and tanned, Must be in her 30s. “Affair.” My cynical devil snickers, between sips But I sit mesmerized, and for the first time ever Envious. The chairs and the tables somehow seem more distant The song  now sounds as if it’s funneled through some crackling phonograph The very light disentangles itself from stones It’s as if a sky has opened up in my chest Flying high overhead,  one lone raven, Its slow shadow Gliding across my heart Oh, how I miss you 5 states away I see your smile on magazine covers I vaguely sniff your scent on passing women Yet you remain elusive - immaterial, haunting,   While this visceral assault Leaves me bewildered - empty An echo in a chiaroscuro cavern   Fading for thee

Letters from N.M.
From the ripple in a glass of water to the sonic boom of this internal Pompeii, the erosion of her etymology is the only sense of movement in her dilated, cave-pupil eyes, those two ghost towns spanning and encircling all the way back, stretched like an elastic blindfold past the moment the first brick was laid, perhaps her first vivid memory, or anecdote, or first word uttered in a Cuban slum. There are mountains of tumbleweed over the once thriving metropolis that expanded towards America; who threw herself into the architecture of seven pillars, borne from her land and minerals. Gone are the huts that housed her knowledge of basic motor skills. The women who once imagined Mami and Mima as her birth name now scrub off the graffiti of her excrement; they saw a swarm of pink moons the day she told the same story to every visitor that came their way, each day then becoming a missing surveillance tape, a sinkhole dismantling the awareness in her bones and stubborn will, until she became these dust-engulfed plains with a daughter and granddaughter archeological in their efforts to chase down the remains of a girl still breathing in those eyes from time to time. Every other ten-millionth blink of the eye rides the silhouette of a post-infant girl on the high tides of her quick visit, looking in horror as the nation of her life's nightmares, heartaches, broken promises, romances, spiritual breakthroughs, life-changing seconds drowns with morbid unity en cien fuegos, desperately attempting to assemble the remnants of her psyche past her cognitive bloodclots with the awareness of one who speaks no languages. Gone is the moment she first learned to feed her several children before the slip of sunset. One of seven pillars remain intact, the others long dismantled of their stick and straw infrastructures. One pillar remained, housed her own colony for nine months, and now both descendants travel the mind of their greatest influence with perplexed dedication, caustic humor the decoy for swarms of exhaustion and asphyxiation from the truthful atmosphere, reveling in the seconds of humanity lurking in an abandoned etymology.

The minstrels played their Christmas tune To-night beneath my cottage-eaves; While, smitten by a lofty moon, The encircling laurels, thick with leaves, Gave back a rich and dazzling sheen, That overpowered their natural green. Through hill and valley every breeze Had sunk to rest with folded wings: Keen was the air, but could not freeze, Nor check, the music of the strings; So stout and hardy were the band That scraped the chords with strenuous hand. And who but listened?—till was paid Respect to every inmate’s claim, The greeting given, the music played In honour of each household name, Duly pronounced with ***** call, And “Merry Christmas” wished to all.

Who is the carrier of the mist? Who is the harbinger of justice? I wonder how many sweet reeds There are that blow in the wind? The fog, dividing the big square. The mist, forming a circle. An encircling protection. The night has its shades. We have seen the good mist Positively rolling along the open field Towards us We who make the camaraderie. “Oh, now that’s a good mist”. The mist, the fog. Wet dew Of sustenance With hope, I bow to you.

The Mist, The Fog
Laying on the bed, reading your wedding invite. I recall the day you went silent and I threw my crown. Stepping down and lost myself. Today I let you go, my love. Not because I give up. I believe you cared and you still do. Your silence did cut through my flesh, Your strangeness burnt my heart. But here I stand today ready to let myself heal. Years of gathering broken pieces of my heart. My lost pieces of love, wailing to be found. Stranded I searched, and I still do. I held on to you, like a stubborn child. Your memories engraved, your doings encircling my thoughts. Strangely never remembering our fights, I was partial.   My heart wanted more, my soul was thirsty. I found pleasure in pain. I kept you alive. What a splendid journey, my love. The impeccable high of your addiction. As I drowned, I found myself. One day I chose to revisit my past. Regretting the time lost to stupid fights, blaming myself. I never felt, keeping you alive. Stupid were my acts, unreasonable was my anger. Childish were my demands. A sinner, at your altar I confess. Sleepless nights, result of a restless brain. Blaming you for the love I dreaded I deserved, For making me feel worthwhile. Keeping your memories alive, Redoing my past, for an escape. As the odds increased, so did my grief.   For the broken promises, and the endless thoughts. U left without a word, so did my Tears. You coward, I pushed myself to oblivion.   I saved our love when the world sympathised. I held on to respect, for u and our love. Wishing you the best, I kept u alive. My futile attempts to blame you, was a curse. A part of me found pleasure when they blamed you, My stupid selfish heart. But today I let you go my love, I allow myself to heal. You meant so much, you still do. But life is more than just you and me. A part of my soul is still with you, it’s yours now. Keep it safe my love. I’ll nurture what is left of it. As time flies by, I’ll heal. For a better tomorrow, for a better me. I’ll strive with a hollow heart and a partial soul. Thank you love, for the heat. For never cheating my heart. For the never ending  euphoria. I know u cared and you still do. When you found me, I found myself. For your breath of life, I’ll keep u alive. You made me believe in good. To Love someone more than my being. Surprised I’m to know my strength. Entwined souls, living in the moment. We headed together, Insane and reckless. Towards our predefined end.   I’m glad it was you and no one else. You were the one, my wildest decision. Oh my wings, my strength. But today love, I let you go. I was your princess. Now it's someone else. It’s time to put back my crown to rule. U won't be forgotten my love, but like any life chapter ours has come to an end.

I am not what I used to be So now in the shadow of unspoken events Everything whimsical is leaving Words fill my head, they fragment like artillery shells they tare through it forcing irreparable damage. Time has accelerated Born out of the absence of light Shaped by my own hands Justly worthy to be referenced and adored I re-encounter what my elation briefly with held The thirst for the dangerous Obliterate the incomprehensible crowding thoughts The stampede within my head The mayhem of the many visions Lock them down, all that fracture within my head Inexplicable wanderings of mindful musings Spontaneous perceptions Shadow of foe Encircling their fears with distractions Pulsing in endless repetitions I am the one whose throat is stripped bare. I am the one who has not spoken in years A distant moon to sense © Crystal Erickson

Collective Visualization
she wears her jewelry proudly purple, sometimes green, maybe yellow but it is always beautiful. she will tip back her head and show you her long neck and you are overcome by the sight of such beauty in one person. sometimes she wears bracelets, delicate purple bands encircling her dainty wrists and the colors are so beautiful. she hardly ever wears rings but for the purple one, maybe an amethyst that sits upon one of her fingers and she will flinch even wince if you try to touch it. but sometimes, maybe just once or twice, you might even manage to forget that her necklace, and those lovely bracelets and that beautiful amethyst which she wears so very proudly is made up of fingerprints.

a necklace of pain
Atoms circulate between the nuclei of touch Schrodinger’s laws exposing deceit and truth Lamenting in the protons, electrons, and neutrons Encircling the senses between the eyes and fingers Particles flow between the elements of breathing Of soul, of emotion, and memories worn thin In terminal velocities of thought and contemplation Barriers of consciousness and reality Molecules of intentions, intricate and delicate Bound together by ionic twists of fate And strained into bent bonds of insecurity Providing violent reactions of regrets Ions, formed in this union, complicate the formula Indifferent to the imbalance between the sighs Requiring the impact, to leave a free electron of motive Resulting in a positive change of heart and mind © 2014

Chemistry of Effect
With the onset of the sun in the horizon, the little creatures awake And dance and sing melodies tantamount to a group of chortling people Oh, how i wish such convival sights be captured And played back on repeat everytime you feel low As vagabonds they fly in search of food and shelter And when the sun does set, off they disappear in their nests Robbing the nature of its beauty For every day they have to give a survival test(from their carnivore counterparts) The broke pigeon was no different, her eyes gleamed better than Cindrella's did The vicissitudes of life had rendered it to be a mendicant. But she was a resilient creature and she continued her fight everyday Her condition started to exacerbate when she laid 4 snow like eggs Gathering twig by twig and working for an entire afternoon meticulously She made a perfect home for her babies which were about to hatch Be it a human or a bird, mothers always foster the children Off she slipped into a reverie of a bright future with her kids But the evil nature had its own sinister plans Her thoughts were interrupted by a cacophony of sounds of other birds She knew the sound was ominous Peeping out of the nest she saw a dozen eagles encircling the tree Her blood ran cold, she wrapped the eggs around her and a teardrop made its way from her eye The leader of the eagles stoop towards her and hit her with a beak The broke pigeon pleaded for its life saying-"I will offer myself to you as soon as my kids learn to fly" The Machiavillian eagle agreed at first, flew up high,leaving the broke pigeon to heave a sigh of relief The sigh was a short lived one as it swoop down with two other eagles on the broke pigeon Performing an act of utter perfidy, there was a sly smile on its face Turn by turn they devoured the broke pigeon And kicked the eggs down the nest It was a brutal ****** much more heinous than the ones we see But there was none to witness the fate of the broke pigeon And even if there were, they'd never know the events that transpired Never know.. never know.. never know..

But she was a resilient creature and she continued her fight everyday Her condition started to exacerbate when she laid 4 snow like eggs Gathering twig by twig and working for an entire afternoon meticulously She made a perfect home for her babies which were about to hatch Be it a human or a bird, mothers always foster the children Off she slipped into a reverie of a bright future with her kids But the evil nature had its own sinister plans Her thoughts were interrupted by a cacophony of sounds of other birds She knew the sound was ominous Peeping out of the nest she saw a dozen eagles encircling the tree Her blood ran cold, she wrapped the eggs around her and a teardrop made its way from her eye The leader of the eagles stoop towards her and hit her with a beak The broke pigeon pleaded for its life saying-"I will offer myself to you as soon as my kids learn to fly" The Machiavillian eagle agreed at first, flew up high,leaving the broke pigeon to heave a sigh of relief The sigh was a short lived one as it swoop down with two other eagles on the broke pigeon Performing an act of utter perfidy, there was a sly smile on its face Turn by turn they devoured the broke pigeon And kicked the eggs down the nest It was a brutal ****** much more heinous than the ones we see But there was none to witness the fate of the broke pigeon And even if there were, they'd never know the events that transpired Never know.. never know.. never know..

Her shoulder rose like the moon above the black velvet of bolero jacket She took his arm, his eyes-- An apogee She took the room in reverence So slowly shed the mountains shed the light hand to touch their wonder Gazing after her noiseless ascent which never happened while they watched.... Pearls— roll against warmth luxuriating offspring cool encircling contents iridesce their energies’ warning: Nothing quite that simple Nothing quite that still Nothing like the opulence on the Proud Eve of catastrophe Pearls— caught in the lining of what never happens the first time.... She heard them before she saw them rip their orbits! fission her universe! in the mezzanine of the symphony hall Pin ball in the Fun House Bingo bounce off— the hardwoods of space.... Universal Theory of Scatter? Even now I can still hear the clatter of their round smooth souls in the doorways of distant relatives How could I know? You would condemn me to find them all?

String of Pearls
There'll be a crowd encircling you, I'm sure. They'll nod at your every word, imperfectly mimicking what people look like when they actually listen. I'm sure the crowd will be people we know. Old high school friends with real estate ventures and gyms and multi-level marketing schemes. Most of them will be doughier, their cheeks permanently stained red from a decade of drinking. Most of them will have photos of their kids on their phones, and they'll tell you they're "sure you don't want to see them" as they pull out their phones and show you photos of their kids. I imagine I'll approach, stop just short of the circle, pretend to bid on an Alaskan cruise. As you talk about redoing your floor in a faux tile that looks just like the real thing for like half the price, you'll see me. I hope you'll think of that kiss five years ago, outside of a bar in Norman, when the world entire bent for us, when all traffic silenced for us, when all people vanished for us. Maybe you'll think of the time we ****** in a twin-sized bed, beside a wall decorated with newspaper clippings, which I thought made me look worldly and learned. I admit now the look was less academic, more serial killer. And maybe you'll think of the manchild fit I threw when I found out you had moved on after I moved away. And maybe you'll be totally present. Good to see you, you'll say. You will ask about my family. We will discuss the cooler weather. We will talk about your business, your kids. We will side hug and say goodbye. We will take the same route to the same exit. There will be children coloring the sidewalk with chalk. We'll each borrow a piece. I'll outline you; you'll outline me.

One gorgeous Spring day we gathered on my deck, a few friends and I, to sing and play some beautiful music loved by us all. My home, on a remote ridge top of the Sierra mountains, offered a panoramic view. Not a single house could be seen-- only the vast forest surrounded us. We accompanied our voices with two guitars, a flute, and a small harp. As we sang, the air grew still, and the tall, fragrant pines encircling the house seemed to lean in, listening. After awhile we paused, to savor in silence the sublime feeling created by the music. The harpist stood her harp on the table. Just then, a gentle breeze came up and the harp began to sing as the wind's fingers caressed the strings, enchanting us all with a heavenly music unlike anything we had ever heard. Would that my heart were as that harp, responsive to Your lightest touch-- singing endlessly of love.

Wind Song
It's a heart on world with my sleeve steadily exposed A life line on a call line, dial 888 to be controlled Puppets on a string to compose this household The happier we'll be the more we're enclosed        Smaller spaces to lengthen the gap        Encircling our inner self control        Consuming what's left of the demons        Trying to get a refund on our soul        Love changes colors like a rhyme Smooth and easy Eyes like the darkness of time Slow and steady Yet we're still not ready for the fight Insanity walks through the door And just when the time is right Our beliefs slowly melt into the floor

Marionette Family Portrait
All sorrow is perpendicular occurring at right angles of tragedy encircling the grief-stricken with straight edges only once intersecting across infinite planes— Don't dare draw the lines between points or shade the region with limits or curves because the trajectories of bullets are plotted on branes intolerant of slightest triangulation Woe unto the seekers of sine waves sobbing thinking of filling every trough believing surely by now we've offered enough to sate these bloodthirsty Euclidean demons Cresting won't ever arrive in this course filled to the brim with asymptotes, cold corollaries but never spilling over under our sacred pledge of allegiance to the 2nd Parallel Postulate No intersections can be admitted with thoughts & prayers extending outward barely co-planar serious public policy proposals axiomatic insistence on the Nirvana Theorem or nothing A set of all points remains, mutually exclusive motionless and always incongruent clueless about their own particular geometries awaiting radical Pythagorean salvation Some paradigm we’ve built here though! Two hundred years of living polygonal hand to elliptical mouth without tangential reflection on the unproven flatness of humanspace.

There is an old hymn this world is not my home an old friend freely sings its lyrics but she’s lonesome never full of joy in her place ready to depart but a strong heart keeps her here for us to talk and laugh this year not last or next but now with both cheer and tears in our eyes and on our cheeks. We’re not waiting. In this long float we can smell the fragrance of aster not before or after but blooming in our spring upon this glorious encircling stream.

Floating Home
The glass of wine spins on sins Encircling the royal roulette All rotating on a hamster wheel Pinned on canvas and illusional walls So tiny in errors and unbalanced books Unaccounted annotated distributions Twisting hands on colluded coils Deeper projections from the heart An eruption of the social notions Extracted on the paradise of life For no truth echoes authenticity Eccentrically finding a lived reality Plato symposiums and simulacrums Pavlov trails of social conditioning Sampled in tented objectifications Functioning within the invisible rules We sniffle as we expose the false actuality Reactive explosions from robust heat Unloaded rods dancing under the moon In our tenderness rejecting the paradigm

Paradigm Distortion
***** moisten, ******* wet. Petite round **** ******* swollen stiff. **** hard and fully ***** his girth is thick. Long length, curved at the tip; tight fit. Silk boxers on the floor, ******* next. Naked bodies, both so magnificent. Slippery, silky smooth tongue slid, up and down her slit. Lips pressing her hood. Under it, her exposed clit, glistens with spit, Hot breath and warm licks encircling her tip. She's rolling her hips, to the beat of the tongue licking it. Fingers gripping her long ******* pink. Twisting her nips, then pinched squeezing them numb, between his fingers and thumb. her moans, turned high pitched Tongue flicking, ******* as he rubs, She tugs on his pulsating Dick. Waves of pleasure whip through his core, ending at his tip. Just as quick, ******* rip, through her thick hips; As he cums. Her tension shifts, from her stomach, to the core of her hips. Her creamy silk liquid drips, fluids flowing, fingers sliding, between her ***** lips. He licks his lips clean, cleaning off her salty drips. Body frozen stiff, She's shuddering; spasms of orgasms, riveting her hips. He lays at her side, her wild side subsides, she's relishing the fix.
