"entertained" poems
They act like foolish mice lost in a maze, with heart eyes, who only admire and send praise; so blown away, and stuck in a dumb daze. It’s amusing they excuse your wicked ways, and you can gladly starve them all for days; while smiling madly, not even fazed. They’re dim and dull, you need entertained. You can’t help it, you think, but don’t dare say, to sustain your pointless little games; that you can’t ever seem to abstain. It’s the higher ground you need to gain. So lure them in enduring your demented cage. Provoke their wrath and force them to cave, spread your foul poison to their every vein. There’s no denying they’re enslaved, locked tight in your chains.

Chains
Rebel Against Rebellion I have nothing to prove No creeds, no doctrine to upkeep We all have so much freedom when we close our eyes And just think Maybe you need to humble yourself enough To lose Rebel Against Rebellion Because they're all just books Your sword is looking pretty dull sir Why are you so inclined to hurt? Thought your prophet preached LOVE? So repeat words Choose what you choose Choose wisely Because soon the snake will stop his hissing Constrict And become your noose Rebel Against Rebellion I think I'll call your bluff I bleed, I sin, I'll die But I'm not feeling hot standing here So tell me again why I should be afraid Of my fleet mortal life? Rebel Against Rebellion Because a Sheppard leads a flock But you never followed Your a goat Caught in your lies Bureaucracy, Democracy Man it's all a joke A silly excuse Rules, the sacrum of man's brain Your doctrine is becoming lame And your beliefs more insane Coliseum A game to play to make you so entertained Please write another rule Prove once again The medium you choose is jewels You fool Rebel Against Rebellion Why would I cut my brother short? Because of appearance and all your silly rules So many when uttered I choke For all we know life itself a joke Oh the irony What began as unity Became bowing down To man's hierarchy So I Rebel Against Rebellion I'm a servant of no man I know God has a plan That over cries your silly fear Unravels your vines Your words Agenda and "Time"

Rebel Against Rebellion
1.) You have the most loving heart. Your warmth, your gentle touch that you personify without words. Melts the supports of my heart 2.) Eyes of deep blue, that ensnare me and leave me thoughtless. How they change into everglade greens, and mystical greys. They're beautiful 3.) Few laughs may be as pure as your quiet giggle. The mere sound gives me goosebumps and a funny feeling in my stomach. You're so freakin' adorable 4.)The curves of a semi-circle aren't nearly as perfect as yours. You've worked alot for the perfect body. I simply need to ask... How can you make something that's something that is already perfect better? 5.) Spontaneous, unexpected and surprising. You keep me on my feet, keep me entertained and make me enjoy every second with you. Who knows what I am to expect?! 6.) Once upon a time, there lived to fluffy bunnies, they decided to leave their little hole and go out on an adventure. A wolf came along and bit of the rabbits head and it bled to death Its so dark, and it leaves you wondering what to think. I love your dark side. It both terrifies and intrigues me 7.) You're so intellectual. I love some of the things you say and more importantly write! You have an amazing capacity for knowledge and wisdom and you use it well. It baffles me, some of the connections you make in your essays and assignments 8.) My love you illustrate a maturity that surpasses your years. Pertaining to your ability to be responsible and reliable if and when - not that I ever am - clearly am not able to be. I think you're the one looking after me. I'm the older one, who just happens to have an 8yr old inside them~ 9.) You smell amazing, but no. Seriously, you are in every way, shape or form. The most amazing, star studded, picture perfect, superbly sensational girl. I could ever have met. Yes, let the alliteration flow 10.) Because you're you, and you are mine

In my backyard, the deep sauce of sun-gold air swivels lazily, stirred by the occasional bumblebee. I’m entertained by the idea of anything beyond this. No continents, no glitter-splashed ocean. The softened world settles into itself, transforming from its usual busyness. Squash lounges in the garden and preschool train operators maneuver Thomas through his wooden kingdom. They move trees and buildings around their set and we, still fascinated with the cucumber in the garden, don’t look up from skimming our fingers through grass, changing our own soil kingdoms with the sweep of a hand.

The Luxury of Laziness
I’m sitting here on the floor watching you sleep as you snore away in the night Sometimes I just lay and listen to you breathe as I hold you agaisnt me real tight It’s not that I’m worried about you I just like to hear you breathe On good days it helps put me to sleep on bad days it soothes me You look so comfortable in our bed as if it’s where you belong and on some nights I like to lay on your chest as your heartbeat plays the perfect song You look so happy in your sleep makes me wonder what your dreaming Sometimes I get jealous of you because I’m wide awake and your sleeping I can watch you sleep forever I can sit for hours and stroke your hair I can be up for hours just holding you I could be exhausted but I wouldn’t care I don’t mind watching you for hours it’s good to see you at peace Your breathing is what keeps me entertained on sleepless nights like these

I Could Watch You Sleep Forever
20:00 - Dinner Alone but entertained I like it that way 21:00 - Skype calls Not having talked for four days I've missed her yet the occasional silence is nice 22:00 - Fillers Scrolling through pictures and sharing thoughts A pleasant and calm feeling 23:00 - Rethinking The first hypothetical theories about the day Laughing at the slip-ups to push them away 00:00 - Reflecting Doubting choices throughout the week Faking a small smile 01:00 - Endurance A familiar feeling spreads Downcast eyes and a facade of peace 02:00 - Creative New ideas and thoughts fill up the space Pick and choosing which ones would hurt the most now 03:00 - Idealistic Reading stories about happiness, pain and change Wondering what will become of me 04:00 - Closure Horrible thoughts tearing down the last walls Curling up and crying again 05:00 - End Following a familiar routine before sleep comes Cradling the broken mind

Late night phone calls Conversations and sapphic dreams Days got so long I couldn't keep her entertained It’s haunting and painful Loving what you can’t hold Coldness crept beneath the warmth I thought she gave Ensnared me; constricting I couldn’t breathe Thought I was breathless because I loved her But she killed me with her sweetness Worry, confusion Tainted memories Agony and heartache Looking back in vain I’m blurry, misguided Troubled and insecure Uncertain and lonely Trying to find a cure To all of my despair Thought she was something more Wet and red As my wrists bled She was there In every tear I shed What a haunting way To honor The memory of a ghost Priestess in my memories Temptress in my dreams Why was it so easy? So easy to leave me? To hurt me? How was it so easy to let me go? I’m still holding on To all the things I can’t recall You must have took them all On our last call The sound of your laughter The sound of your voice Choking on your tears I still remember Worry, confusion Tainted memories In the tea stained color Of her eyes Agony and heartache Looking back in vain I’m blurry, misguided Troubled and insecure Uncertain and lonely Trying to find a cure To all of my despair Thought she was something more But I was colorblind, I should’ve known When our love was blue in a world of red

you know what I think, it ain't about doing things your way. See i got this part of my being, stuck in my gut, hole in my heart feeling, that you want less than that. That I'll be entertained by your muscles of ******* or silent when i watch from dreams and... forget it. Let me turn the other way, watch babylon pray, its just another day. People so small we make telescopes large and look for our creator, but see its apart of me. I think, when i look at trees they look like faces, the ocean's breath awakens things. I forgot long ago. And atoms are just empty spaces, so what do you think holds it all? Nothing? or are we just nothing... Oh but let me tell you I feel today! Like Artemis hunting her prey, tell me, is it nothing or am I a cosmic puppet? Blast it, I loose myself in the meaning; Oh right, you don't-know-me. and it is a veil that separates our fates, to clouds that wait, for my soul. Or a stranger that you'll never know.

Gypsy Heart
I may have loved you too much, but; A part of me still loves you to this day Your sweetness allures me so, Like honeyed days we’d stare without shame You were irresistible to my heart and I knew trouble cornered me I’d shoo away the laughable thoughts, Aiming to mail you a letter of love To which you’d open it fresh with a scented kiss Flower petals would descend from your heart Your cheeks adopted a sunflower The stars entertained you that night You told me you always dreamed of late evenings Informing me of the curtain of constellations That you’d like to sleep soundly in Of course I’d be willing to offer you anything in return of your smile And the night we escaped, you gasped softly at the surprise Your simple happiness was all one romantic would need No matter where we dreamed, Together we are one Standing besides one another  Fate draws near, echoing our future Your bleakness eats me devastatingly Tomorrow we are still...one being But overseas, I send you my farewells So that you are found in perfect health And that we consume truly divine harmonies Made only for the sweetened couples Whose stories fade ever so forlornly in the past I love you brightly as the sun You illuminate my pathways But one kiss erases my existence Continue to please those around you; Without me, the world withers Please remember my love, And be gentle with it For it is delicate as the world My eyes see a star But yours fail to see within that darkness The gloom that retreats before you arrive I am part of that campaign An honorable being among the troops Yet your continuous ignorance saddens me so See me now, Find me wanderlust in this world And somewhere, we can swiftly enrapture ourselves Whether it be in the meadows of glistening rays Or the places that calmly send the earth into slumber Wherever we are destined, I’ll always be there for you Even if tonight’s curtain unsheathes And you are no longer the image of love, But rather, a friend I could love with silliness on languid days and somber nights.

Humanity
The lizard slinks across the Warm, smooth stone. Light footsteps pitter-patter Through the sand, barely leaving footprints It curls up in the lamp provided light Pressed against slightly heated glass The ornaments scattered in The clear aquarium Don’t keep the lizard entertained for long The lizard is like a Joshua tree. It tries to grow to a height That has not yet been seen Its environment tries to slow it down It grows with persistence, and moves a bit faster. The lizard will soon shed its skin, It anxiously waits for a new chance. For a roomier layer in which to live. The days stretch on; But it won’t be long Til’ the lizard is in a bigger place.

I Am A Lizard
I saw an Ulila Whilst riding a Jeepney Half-Shoed, Half-Footed, Saying, "BAYAD!" An Endearment for Pay Yet my Eyes affixed On his One-Footed Shoe But due to the Wear Of a Day's Sweaty Trod Begging for his Family Dinner Hoping he could have a Full Meal And Smiles For him and his family And still waiting For his Final Stop And still scraping His Hard-Worn Scar Thus the Ulila Handsome to Beg Despite his Birth-Marked Nose Which was actually blood From a flavourful fist-fight And Soil, Paints his Tender Body. Thus the Ulila, Swollen in his Eyes, Suddenly remembered He had nothing to Beg For since his Time, Was centred on Smiles Greeting people, Wishing them the Best of Cheers and Holidays And his Reward, Sheltered and Soft, Reaching the end of his Bay, Cried, "PARA!" An Endearment for Stop And disembarked Full of Flavours and Joy, Wondering, If he could Share such with his Family. Then the Ulila, Felt a Weight, And Jingles in his Body. Thinking of his Thursday's Stones, He took some out And all he found, Were just some Worthless Pesos, Given secretly, By the Passengers he Entertained In the busy Jeepney. Thus Smiled the Ulila - The Selfless Urchin-Boy.

Gypsy Rose Lee. Is that you or me? Does that make you Baby June? The favourite and best No concern for the rest You sing and you dance in the tune. Or just like Gypsy You learn how to strip tease The glamour and glitz of the night. But who's mama Rose? And how could I know? She pushes and leads to a fight. But Gypsy is magic And a rare art form And June is so dainty Doesn't know when she's born She's the centre of attention She's the first one who speaks And Gypsy is left there Still being Louise. Chow mein and lambs Travel the land A show on vaudeville stage. Let me entertain you Let me have a try too Honey, were you not entertained?

Gypsy Rose Lee.
So much of it still remains unwritten What’s stopping you? Afraid of not getting a ten? Every story, every verse, deserves to be entertained For the elegance of words is yet to be measured Unlike the outer beauty, measured in millihelens So what are you waiting for? Grab a pen! Undress your thoughts for only you can The darkness of your mind is for you to conquer and comprehend For the ones around you can’t penetrate your mind, a lion’s den Retreat now and be deprived of the seventh heaven No matter how well the art of climbing you have mastered Don’t abandon the possibility of a fall For the brightest of the light beams on interference Do produce a dark patch on the wall Every moment of despair is as insignificant as an ink blot Join them all on a canvas and you have the synopsis of a great plot Every dot, so telling, shall draw their attention Like light into a black hole Maybe then you won’t be afraid of seclusion Because from then on, words shall be your saviour, once and for all.

I have to try and keep my chin up and my head held high, among people that only want to rip me down. I'm nothing but a side show in their pathetic lives Please return to your seats the show is about to begin. And they all lean forward with their eyes on the prize Their deviance is no longer in disguise. Looks like friendship, but is only lies to keep themselves entertained for awhile. Pull at the dangling veins where my heart used to be, Please stop pulling, I'm begging you, set me free. For your own entertainment For your own joy I am not just some disposable toy. I've never been more hurt than the pain I feel now While you eat your own **** I've taken my head out of the clouds. You can **** with me all you want, but nothing is going to change. I've got rage like a lion, and I'm looking for prey. I won't even eat your body, I want to watch it decay. My anger isn't centered, it's in different directions **** all you mother ******* and your misconceptions. I'm tired of this, you can go eat **** Because when I find you, next thing is your dead body in a ditch. **** your rumors, **** your lies You're all enemies in disguise. Giving nothing, Wanting all I can't wait to watch you fall Into the darkness, just like me Oh, wont you keep me company? Your brown nose tells me yes So you like when I'm a mess? Sadistic mother ******* all of you are guilty. Stop looking at my hands when yours are ******* filthy. I'm done with these death games you play You can have each other, I'm not going to stay.

The Annual POCU Fashion Show held by the campus organization “People of Color United,” was held in the Student Activities Center on Saturday, April 18. The fashion show is the final activity of the year held by POCU. Junior Martell Prayear and senior Miranda Jackson were the show’s hosts and announcers. The fashion show is a competition where various designers, or teams of designers, are required to create outfits that adhere to a general theme, but also incorporate the designer’s unique, personal concepts. This year, the general theme for the fashion show was: Thrift Shop. Each designer, or group of designers, was required to utilize clothes purchased from the local Goodwill and maintain a $50 budget. Preparations for the event, Jackson said, were very short. “I was really surprised how well it turned out, because we started practicing for the show at four o’clock that day,” Jackson said. “They typically start practicing way a head of time.” Despite the delayed preparation, the fashion show was an overall success. The first designer to present at the fashion show was Victoria Webster. Webster’s fashion line was inspired by professional work attire. “I think it can be hard transitioning college wear into professional wear, on a budget,” Webster said of her outfits. Webster was able to find three models to wear the clothes, which she said was a combination of the model’s personal items, as well as those purchased through Goodwill. The second fashion line presented at the fashion show was designed by Iyana Lynch. For her personal theme, Lynch designed outfits that were inspired by the different seasons. The third designer to present that evening was Alyssa Nieset. Inspired by 90’s menswear, Nieset designed a line of androgynous outfits. The final clothing line presented was a team effort from: Jeanita Blue and Angel Powell. Their theme was considered “90’s Reloaded,” and featured various throwbacks to 1990’s pop culture such as TLC and The Spice Girls. Blue said that most of the outfits in their fashion line were inspired by “eco-friendly fashion,” and were intended to decrease hesitation toward shopping at thrift stores. While the judges finalized the scores for each designer or team, the Urban Dance Association entertained the crowd with a quick performance. The judge’s scores resulted in a tie between Jeanita Blue & Angel Powell, and Iyana Lynch. Despite the general tie, Blue and Powell were awarded first place, while Lynch was granted second place. There was an off-campus reception held in Cleveland after the event. Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/purple-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/green-formal-dresses

The final clothing line presented was a team effort from: Jeanita Blue and Angel Powell. Their theme was considered “90’s Reloaded,” and featured various throwbacks to 1990’s pop culture such as TLC and The Spice Girls. Blue said that most of the outfits in their fashion line were inspired by “eco-friendly fashion,” and were intended to decrease hesitation toward shopping at thrift stores. While the judges finalized the scores for each designer or team, the Urban Dance Association entertained the crowd with a quick performance. The judge’s scores resulted in a tie between Jeanita Blue & Angel Powell, and Iyana Lynch. Despite the general tie, Blue and Powell were awarded first place, while Lynch was granted second place. There was an off-campus reception held in Cleveland after the event. Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/purple-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/green-formal-dresses

There’s a battle raging through my head, So much that it knocked me off my bed. There’s a war raging through the thoughts; Diverse and dismayed neither I can sort. Haste is the time that spent wasting Entertained by such pacifistic maiming. Ideating the norm and realizing the storm had just started as I shut the squirm. Conscience speaks the threat at hand, the head does not agree the time it spanned. Where there are more things on heaven and earth; there are more dreadforth than my brain sports. The enemy lurks the darkness in me, passing by the realm of my inability. I had to open eyes wide to invite the Light while at the same time shut from plain sight. Recall the Words spoken to me, realize there is much for me to see. The villain emerge from the dark of the moon - the cerebral crater dormant from the day’s form “You – are not – real. You are just a figment; an imagination, a fantasy, one that I let you haunt me.” The One I know died for, Lived and loved me through the core. Lies no longer seem redemptive nor elegant nor sped; Flee not the grace and flee the grave though instead. Jolt to wake myself up, admonition that all along I was held at a stop. The battle becomes the sleep yet decided; settled more for the Love had invited.

The Battlefield of the Pacifists
How could I spell out love when it is absent of her name? The way her eyes reflected a sunrise, the envy of Eos She was like honey in the sky, the amber of her energy enraptured me       I was bewitched She was a masterpiece drawn with starlight, unfathomable beauty An ivory sculpture crafted by the hands of a god, masterpiece of Hephaestus I remember the time I was blessed by that smile,      A vilified promise The scent of patchouli and the taste of my favorite tea Like ambrosia for a mortal, that sweet taste of paradise Sunflowers and the many other favorites that she gave me      Stolen without a word She used to call me late at night to talk about her day But the days for me got longer, I couldn't keep her entertained Such a coldness hid underneath the warmth I thought she gave me      Gone like a ghost in the night I thought I was breathless because I loved her, now I’m suffocated by the agony She was killing me underneath the sweetness, constricting like a boa And when I close my eyes to see the memories lapse she's still in them      Haunting me like she wanted Eros' is golden arrows struck me hard and shamelessly Through my heart and left a scar, chasmic and wide Her toxic serotonin left me high, addicted to her energy      A limitless euphoria I spoke to the gods above and I told them of my love What a liar she's made me out to be, the clever snake I begged that Aphrodite let my words reach her      But they fell on deaf ears Now I pray that Anteros relieves me and hears my plea Unravel these feelings in my heart, lift the anchor of her name Don't let me be the sole carrier of the blame      For the ruin that remains

My shoelaces flap side to side like one of those car-dealership inflatables arms- My veiny stompers pump puddles of pure procrastination from perceptive sprinting- Underneath the tune-buds, I cannot hear my sneakers scraping the scrap rocks of gravel- To my left- a hooting owl habitats itself in a hushed game of charades- To my right- a slick tree frog flies freely from a lofty leaf and lands in the lagoon- Elapsed images of elastic languages fill my mind with everlasting wisdom- Entertained by the watercolors, my canvas curdles and secedes the state of mind- Pressing harder- the curtain continues to close as I chase the condescending daylight- Pressing softer- the tuner in my temple turns into a terrorizing shriek from my tibia-

Hindsight
Sparrow's twitter From the dawn of Hearing the hassle of Myna This morning Or the Singing Cuckoo Of yesterday afternoon Read the language of their time When they say it certainly As the Morning Evenings Or mid of the Summer noon Read their body language When they are sounding Beside window Or playing In the lake water Draw my attention But I don't understand Completely Assume It is a pester Argue with friends Or by calling the dear At this time, We say that the Spring Or Say any unspoken Dream Seeking through the Bridge That breezing over Heart And The Soul You invite The spring comes But I do not understand So what are the Give your tunes I sorted the words Whatever may be the tune Guess again, Or partial But they say We see Hear Their songs Their mother tongue They pointed out that Indicates Each other To visit the open sky Afield Dance with the wind It also has to Entertained Any pain that may be broken Their heart Playing a melancholy tune Which refers to the words Of their mother The words Of the Nature Realizes that we But  never try to feel with the heart

The language of birds
I sat across from a man made of millions. From his shiny black patent shoes to his dolphin patterned socks, and his slicked back gray blonde hair, a color so elusive Midas himself would find fault with designating blame, I saw treachery. If character were based on dress I would assign worth every time. But people don't work that way: you must listen to what they say. When he mentioned God and fate in the same breath as commissions and unlimited potential financially, I went back to the socks. Imagining the dolphins desperately trying to find someone else's socks, someone less driven by green pieces of paper easily set aflame by a deranged individual, someone like me, who would not be so ludicrous, but entertained the notion, would have more idealistic pure thought framing. While the world runs in bounding strides to freedom from debt, from loans, from taxes, and money....stuff, so that every "thing" materializes as a personal possession and retirement happens at the unseemly age of 35, but who will provide a home for the dolphins? I would not throw my socks away as soon as the threads began to bare. I would find some cerulean blue thread and weave in the ocean.
