"endeared" poems
With gentle cheeky smiles and cheery cheers, You endeared yourself to your deary dears, My jealousy rose up like the towering tiers, of classic wedding cake infused with beers, Drunk even more in love without you here, Us becoming strangers made me shed tears, Somehow your babbling is a delight to hear, But you're getting far away, not even near.

A Jealous Stranger
I was a flailing phoenix Trapped underneath a waterfall Unable to rise from the ashes While being continuously extinguished Until you constructed a dam With the flotsam from my heart I opened my wings and emitted light Fearing waterfalls I took my fire flight I was elated to have migrated Where the weather was tropical And the conditions seemed optimal But your aggravating absence Endeared an enigmatic essence A vengeful apparition That conjured rain I desperately craved your protection from the elements Until I noticed the precipitation was my infatuation For you and the things you do The things you build Make rivers stay still And the things you say Make me regret being gay Because you're a ****** You live in your exclusive dam Your teeth are like cleavers Gnawing on sacrificial lamb

Phoenix
You struck me in mid-flight With a face lit by dim light Your hair that didn't care Flowed like the time we shared But we fell prey to accidental accidents Because of your taxing mental acumen Yet I chose to see through a cute lens When you spat acid like aliens More specifically xenomorphs For a career course That endeared divorce Everything was an accident A train wreck to be precise Take to the extreme extent When you saw love in my eyes

Accident
Some fairground by the coast   taken by the Baptist mission by coach and outside some magic mirror tent after having gone in you said to Helen not much in there to see and the fairground guy having overheard you said not much to see? come here and see again and he took you in the tent again and showed you how you looked in front of the various mirrors in some you were thin and tall and in another you were broad and fat or you were squat as if someone had sat on you and squashed you flat and you laughed at that and the guy said see there is much to see so go tell your girlfriend so you went out of the tent and said to Helen yes it was good the second time around and Helen said perhaps we should go in together and so you paid the guy the money and you went in with her and stood together in front of the mirrors and laughed and she held your hand and you remembered the guy saying tell your girlfriend and you guessed she was and that made you feel happy even schoolboys of 10 years old sometimes want girlfriends secretly endeared away from the sight or knowledge of other boys as if it were some kind of betrayal of the schoolboy code and as you walked about the fairground you watched   where others on racing wooden horses rode.

WITH HELEN AT THE FAIRGROUND.
How word conveys thine yonder form is winter’s ice upon my ear, No mouth can so describe the warmth lay hous’d inside my heart endeared. Despite all speech that one might find, though vastly far it always spans, your essence will lay undefined, far beyond all ink-spotted hands. But here I stay ever toiling, grasping my pen yet unprepared, Cursive paper onward coiling, My crumpled sheets lay uncompared. So know my love you’re all to me beyond that which our words can see.

Undefined (A Sonnet in 8 Syllable Lines)
The broom falls heavy on the floor sweeping up the fragments of my disappointed heart. The swagger of your once so-humble soul echoes like a mockery in the chasm that now keeps the distance between us both. How can the one person I respect so much change so dramatically between one phone call and the next? You, I thought you’d always have my back, fail, because you’re now too interested in your own fail safe. The trust that once bound disintegrates with each new thing you learn. Your brilliance has become a curse, your kindness melted from gold into a puddle of finite resources made of Chinese plastic. A voice, sturdy, now more bendable, less flexible A boldness once endeared now feared, wished away. And I’m hoping you’ll just grow out of this. Don’t over-change yourself because you’re desperate for freedom from your past. Promise me that you will climb over your arrogance and find the way back to the beautiful boy I was once so proud to call friend.. Not a friend, this friend, the knower of my colors Capture this one not, o life A prayer and deepest desire, spare him his innocence. Don’t let me down, o life. not this one.

Life don't let me down. Not this one.
i. if you attack the darwinian supply & demand... who the hell is going to be homosexual?! you just attacked hetrosexual males, i don't feel like paying politician's taxes or making children... thank you, no, bye bye; women never sang of beauty, they merely shouted about it: a father's hands in weeping crafted a fountain of the son's clouded approximates that gave unto us spring's joy whether that be an abundance of water or colour. ii. if i can't laugh into the night, and think of the muse, then i am endeared by your want of sleep, as a vitamin loss; oddly enough there are only 1.5mg of potassium in 100ml of water, and old ladies think there's a concern for potassium imbalance when you drink too much coffee, and have to drink excesses of tomato juice to balance the "books."

2 pointers that made me laugh
Smokey bubbles-- Trapped behind glass Filling up the murky water like spherical  clouds of the sea Bursting in heaven as blissful flatulence ~~~ Lightening my heart, bringing freedom to my womb Scrawled across my walls Graffiti inside my heart ~~~ I pull this patience from my well in solitude Homogenising the cultivated need within to better suit my needs Breathe deeply and clear ~~~ Resting wickedly -- Passing moments endeared Acceptance as I pick up my chain... ...*But there will always be time to dream, and it will never matter because time does not exist in my dreams* -

Karma was a dancer at the Déjà Vu, trading fantasies a few days a week for ***** crumpled bills and then living the dream on her days off. That was before I knew her. Before she faded just a little. Which is not to say that she was no longer beautiful with her mermaid hair, the color somewhere between phosphorescent amber and burning chestnut brown, down to her *** and falling all around her painfully sensuous curves. The faint pucker lines 'round her mouth, that liver spot, a slight, barely discernable paunch, I could see such things, too but they only endeared me to the façade of some silly notion a kin to forever. We would stay up late, even on the weeknights,   wine silly and **** chatty. She would dance and I would tell her ****** poems in exchange. It seemed like a good trade to me but the truth is, she was being shorted in the deal. We said, I love you but I’m not sure we knew that we didn’t really have that to offer one another. Both of us had sold more than we had ever bargained for long before we met. When money ran thin and times grew hard she split. Hope still stops by on occasion. (She was a dancer, too). But it seems a bit easier to distinguish differences between the faux and the genuine these days. She doesn’t stay long. I like to blame it all on Karma despite knowing that I was just never quite frugal or savvy enough to afford more than a few perfume-drenched moments at the foot of the stage.

For Less than a Dollar
My shadow is kind blurry at times and darker some nights But she hums so sweet and one time she said this "Make a wish on that shining star It is pacing the sky passing the time endeared by your kind" And I did try for my cry to reach that high of what I couldn't wish for in one starless night I looked up to the star bright admired it shine with my eyes open wide as I smiled and I wished for that childish delight to never leave my side as it didn't that night So that I could still fight when the scorching sun would be high and the feathers of my wings would feel light

I want to let go of something I hold endeared, it pains me so, but it'll hurt me more if I don't... let go

Fool
*I promise you the next time I write, I would write your name in place with mine. So that people would look for you and not me, and they would see, my love, the reason why I write. As they gaze at your face, they would understand. As they hear your voice, they would know that many a next time I would write, but only of one they are sowed; and even without you, I wouldn't for another. I'd just retell our story. Your stories. How my heart has been taken. The joys. The frowns. Our very endeared moments. The tragedies. I would retell it in a hudred different ways, but I don't think I could write for another because only you and your kisses give my pen its ink and my words the power. I would retell it. But I wish I never should.*

...
White violets in the window Scarlett leaves tumble across the mossy hidden stones mound beneath a chilly winter's dawn A cold wind bares the dogwood tree where puffed out plumaged woodpecker gleans on creations' plump red bounties, beheld subsistence beget for feral wings Bright crimson fattened rose hips season, lingering in the frigid morning dew; stirring warm memories of fruitlet tea's steeped from gathered garden magic spells A spoonful of love and raw honey mellowed a life once so lovingly endeared Hot Blueberry dutch-oven scratch biscuits imbue the wafting fragrant air — life's cherished moments tarry in the head and heart; sipped by ruby lips still tasting the untamable passion of a breathless goodnight kiss White violets blossom in the window the morning fire's crackle echoes a pining  memories' gentle whisper awakened by the incoming wintertide A dulcet breeze not soon forgotten — melancholy traces linger like a passing season's swan song as your memory — leads me on... harlon rivers ...

Long ago How I loved you so You tore me apart When you let me go I was broken My heart Oh, it was so broken Eventually it healed Although it took A month My scar twined together Now I feel myself Falling out of this galaxy Out of common sense and into you I can't help being endeared to you Knowing your dreams of flight Seeing you red nerd glasses Adorable Longish black hair Amazing Smart Awesome Creator of all that is holy, help me. I need to stop Because you are no good You have moved on I must as well Lord, grant me the power to resist the strongest of emotions Because I cannot I will not Give in.

I'd wanted to see the moon again – Pockmarked and ivory, entering and Innuendo, like crisp leaves under foot; “Crunch, crunch, crunch,” and so went The cereal before sog. Parallel, the same Suffering’s smeared come my bones Under foot, under cloud and ‘ever as I’d wander empty if even with you. You've Turned back and continue to study, “Away.” I'd wanted to see the moon again - Come the scent of fried wantons and Neon glance; “Crackle, crackle, Crackle,” like hot dogs over fires, only Hindered, the hiss of a boy’s tears atop Flame, so long as I'd understand empty, If only with you. But your two’s atop His lips, a smear upon the line we call, “Horizon,” and so continues, this study Of, “away.” And I'd never see the moon again – So Silence became the sun, a blight, a Bright, the, “shiny,” I'd wish banned; Like the eerie, like the day dad’d packed His bags or day he'd finally died; If only To accept this solitude, miasma Subtracted you, with everything else, But emptied you. An impasse atop Endeared eidetic, as I’ll try and I’ll Recall and I’ll fail, this test to finally Forget. So I’d rest with an, “F,” he’d rest in An urn and you’d rest, simply rest, at the Top of your class, without fault, and a Graduate, your study of, “away.”

The Drivel (Acrostic Poem)
The ugliest woman that ever was born was called Margery Pilkington-Brown. If a monkey was born half as ugly as that they would certainly have it put down. Her head was as bald as a billiard ball, yet the hair on her chin was quite long. For a girl to be cursed with a whiskery beard was, in anyone’s thinking, quite wrong Mrs Pilkington cried, “Nurse, please take it away. It’s a miniature monster from hell.” “Put a bag on its head,” said the nurse, with a wave, “If you need a supply, ring the bell.” So Mrs P stayed for a month and a day ‘Till they told her, quite firmly, to go. The nurse sympathised with a rolling of eyes as she packaged the Lady-Shave Pro. “Oh, what a disgrace when they look at her face and they see she’s a hideous brute?” “We’ll give you a bag with a hole in the top. You can hide her away in the boot.” So Mrs P left with a feeling of dread planning what she could do with the sprog. She drove to a wood at the edge of the park and left Margery under a log. “That’s a terrible thing that you’re doing,” he growled. Mrs P jumped a mile or two. The Park-Keeper peered at the face in the bag. “Can’t you find it a home at the zoo?” Downhearted, she took little Margery home to a cupboard, until it was night. She couldn’t risk anyone catching a glance of poor Margery’s face in the light. When Mr P saw his new daughter he scowled, “God Almighty, my dear, what is that? Has it crawled from a stone in the corner of hell, or been dragged from a hole by the cat?” “It’s our baby, dear heart,” cried a hurt Mrs P, in a trice, feeling rather endeared. “She may not be nice, but she’s our flesh and blood with my feet and your belly and beard.” “Well, yes, I suppose with her seventeen toes and a nose that could open a tin, she is rather unique in a curious way and we’re blessed that she isn’t a twin. She’s ours, as you say. We can’t give her away So she’ll stay as a Pilkington – Brown. We’ll  give her a shave and a hat with a brim And avoid going into the town.”

Blown away sorrows, Seep through pillows, Was I mad was I sad When I came with no “hi”s And left with no “goodbye”s The place is close by, But I walk back I drive past I duck away to avoid pests of regrets Never able to cut open The memories endeared In its own empty crust. So I look toward future with lust Afraid of the going back Afraid of the circling into myself Fastened into idealized past. Nobody ever come back this way, Nothing ever stay the same, None ever let their sentiments sway, Not my fights not my thoughts not my defeats not even me.

The Place of No Return
What can I say of a father Who was too ill to notice my birth? Whose gentle nature at once endeared him to me          and caused me the greatest pain of my whole life. And Dad, when I went to wake you all those mornings in vain, Did you notice the fear behind my squeaking laughter? Or the sound of my retreat? Did your love for me grow when I sketched your sky And folded the laundry while you were away? I think of the slow droning burn of the days, How my life was a struggle for power, a struggle for words. I waged war at seven. There had to be violence and noise and ruin, For the tumult that surrounded me never ceased And had never before been produced By my own small body, Though I believed I was the perpetrator all along. Our finest chinas grew fewer as I grew older, And the laziness of my household grew too. Gnats swarmed our remaining plastic bowls As the rooms expanded both in fullness and in void. A lack. A lack of mom. Dad away in the shed, tinkering. Sometimes, Dad, your face took on a look of health. A health whose glow radiated unto me, your satellite. And in those moments of brightness, i believed in god, In everything, in your capacity, in your love, your promises, In my own beauty. I brought you my words and lavished upon you my art, my books, My trinkets of artistic arrangement. I showed you the house of my creation where there were girls With blue shoes and there was peace within the six pink rooms. The moon learns in time that there are passing phases And that the constancy of the sun’s luminosity is illusory. But i was too young to know of ancient cycles, And in my beating heart it was unlove and there was no trace of hope when you turned face And eclipsed me.

No Badge of Courage I have never been in war I have never had the desire to take the life of another human nor did I ever have this desire to trod through mountainous or sand blown desserts or any hot steamy jungle dodging bullets and poisonous insects or snakes like the two step of Vietnam a snake so named because that was usually the number of steps a man could walk before falling after he had been bitten by one no I have never had the desire to carry a 50 lb pack on my back in sweltering or freezing conditions pursuing a frightened kid or worse yet a crazy kid wanting to **** me in the name of his chosen god yet, I somehow feel incomplete, I have had friends who endeared these conditions, some who never returned to their friends, families except in a wooden box but I feel that I never fulfilled my obligations in wake of this Veterans day I once again have this feeling of sadness this feeling I never put my life on the line to defend a creed, a purpose, a need of other peoples who needed help to fight the indignities of killings tortures, slavery to defend them in their reach for justice, freedom, humanity. So all I can do I guess is do what I do every year about this time, thank these brave men and women who sacrifice their time, their lives to help keep this and other nations safer, humane, with dreams of the future may whoever your chosen God or belief protect you from harm today in the hopes that tomorrow will be better Gomer LePoet ....
