"envisions" poems
The boy inside my head remembers the girl inside yours. He wants to tell you that he still loves you...that he'll love you forever. He wants to tell you he's trapped and all alone. He sits in his cell scratching the days onto the wall. He draws pictures of your face and imagines holding your hand. If he ever gets to talk to you again, he pictures what he'd say... He would do anything for you to give him another chance. He knows he's a boy and he wishes he didn't have to be. But that boy inside his head didn't get a say on if he got to be a boy or not. He wishes that you'd open yourself up to let him care for you again. He wishes that you'd let yourself be the reason that he lives again. He wishes a lot. He wishes too much. He fears none of them won't come true but he can't stop because it keeps him alive. He envisions that chance. That he would take it slow and show you his love. That it would be the deepest display of emotion ever to come from him. He knows all too well you're not fond of boys- he's almost sorry he is one. But he loves you. He loves you so much. You're so beautiful to him. A beautiful person, not a beautiful girl. He misses you. He misses you so much. The world stops when you hug him. His heart flutters just thinking about it, still. You're heavenly to him. You took him places he'd never been before. Places he may never be again. You see, he wishes he could put into words for you, the feeling... He never needed anything more than your cuddles and hugs. Like a living, breathing, soft and loving security blanket, you were... Nothing in his life ever more peaceful than your arms or the touch of your lips. He never needed sex...please don't make it about *** What he really needed was you. He prays to a God he no longer believes in that maybe he could have a reason to believe again. He loves you, Elizabeth Raine. He loves you so **** much. He knows that's not enough. He will never be enough. You were once the reason he lived... You're now the reason he wants to die. You dumped him like utter trash and he still couldn't get over you. You said things that ripped out his soul. Acted like he had no soul to begin with... But ****** he loved you. He loves you. Like he promised, he always will. Your girly parts play no part. He wishes you'd understand how much deeper this is than that. How much you mean to him. How much you'll always mean to him, how you'll always be his sweet girl. At least, how he wishes you'd be his sweet girl once more. He wishes he could show you...that he could find a way. Tears roll down his face like the first rain of May. He just wants to be enough to experience heaven one more time... I'm afraid to inform him that heaven's long gone... Its not even in existence to experience anymore... But he'd **** himself...I can't push myself to let him know... He bought a ticket to hell.

One Last Chance
The boy inside my head remembers the girl inside yours. He wants to tell you that he still loves you...that he'll love you forever. He wants to tell you he's trapped and all alone. He sits in his cell scratching the days onto the wall. He draws pictures of your face and imagines holding your hand. If he ever gets to talk to you again, he pictures what he'd say... He would do anything for you to give him another chance. He knows he's a boy and he wishes he didn't have to be. But that boy inside his head didn't get a say on if he got to be a boy or not.

He envisions the Machine as a large locomotive Of a deep, tainted, black metal chugging down and infinite track The eternally glowing red hot coals pushing the pistons A giant crimson cowcatcher is fixed at the front Scraping up followers; forcing them into the vehicle Manipulating Its passengers to smash their heads into the Machine Welding their minds into Its mysterious black metal walls Stained with the blood of many who have tried to resist Ultimately wounded, maimed, outcaste from society Forever marked, branded by the scars of their attempt When the Machine has used you and-or your mind to Its purose It shoves you into Its furnace—keeping the pistons turning The Machine cannot be stopped—always picking up followers Forcing you into It; becoming one with the Machine As He looks into the engine room, there is no conductor A runaway locomotive chugging down the track with no end Its only goal: gathering as many passengers as possible Society, Washington, the Media built the machine Their brainchild, but have long since become a part of It Their minds welded the deepest—becoming the foundation of Its walls Long ago abandoning their carcasses to fuel their mighty creation

Black Lung (formerly: The Machine)
Euphoric visions Frantic envisions Body collisions Heavy prescriptions Enlightened by a muse that I was happily given Unwarranted treasures on the paper was written Psychadelic notions Underminded by twitches Glares of green lights flashing In the artists’ painted trenches Heavy prescriptions Doses of living Binded by ink from a tie-dye fitting Zones flowing in and out Lying down for the feeling Eyes looking up At the neon-colored ceiling Ah, is this living A euphoric disposition? Defying immortality by a psychedelic existence Back under... To the trenches And the heavy prescriptions

Don't Let The High Go To Waste
~ *Poor deluded brute he waves his sword in orchestration to a ruthless symphony played for miserable centuries: the running of the bulls "sketches of pain" some monsters come decked out in hat and cape inside the arena of his pride where he hears the chant within the arts of cowardice and cruelty where he envisions the feathered crown Gala! Gala! "how to see the toreador" lost as San Fermín pricked by hairpin pierced by ragged horn suerte de la muerte (luck of death) foreshadowing Hemingway turns into the troubled sun and underneath his muleta a deep red blood alchemy his fame spilling out in drips and drabs as the crowd sings 'Pobre de Mí (Poor Me)' to the mystic stab of church bells* ~

Death of the Matador
He doesn't see past the horizon of his life He doesn't indulge in the myth of the hereafter He doesn't believe he is worthy of such a notion He doesn't make it a habit to put pen to paper But with her... He envisions the future like he's lived it before He sings of his plans that span several lifetimes He romanticises his thoughts as soon as they're conceived He converses in paintings and writes only in rhymes

Love Astonishes
It is said there is life out of Earth, Not just moss or some germ livin’ in filth; There are beasts very smart in Syluthaarme, A big rock with a vast digital farm, Where they work not at all or too hard, Have one ear, but three legs, walk backward, Got one eye gazing far far away, And complexions of more shades of gray Than is seen here on Earth. Among the mass Live a few who belong to no class, But pretend that they share illusions The less smart breeding mass envisions. An asylum it is for the sane In the insane’s needed stead feel the chain.

I was told about this special book. I was told it was a magical book! Amazingly full of bright, light and insight. Allegedly one look and you were hooked and took! This great book of life baited, charted and crafted with will, quill feathers, leather and of weather. The great book of life highly and showily regarded the ******** the rife and strife. Brilliant parts of art from heart! Boldly guarded by angel’s darts! Holding from different angles. Behold! The pages of this book mangled, spangled and tangled. Through the ages… the corners scorned, torn and worn. In theory the inseams very weary and old. Amazingly and appraisingly with thrill they still fold! Merrily told and eagerly sold. The great book of life’s pages is of age, cages and wages, stages and rages! The great book of life each a way to encourage or engage courage. The great book of life was inspired and transpired by a baby in a manger. Some pages spell and tell of a stranger danger! The great book of life is about the beloved also of the unloved. Chapters in capture, scriptures in measure, rapture- or torture. The great book of life listen to my envision with precision! The great book of life envisions death’s breath. Missions, those enclosed in prisons and visions! The many, many scenes serene and obscene. The in-betweens, the kings and queens! Dragons, drones and many, many thrones! The antic, frantic and gigantic! Magic, satanic and tragic! blizzards or wizards! Ancient, distant chants and rants! The great book of life, a chance from a glance. Traces of many faces, places and races! The great book of life claimed to have named those bordered, cornered, loitered and murdered. The great book of life is it! Amazingly it tells bits of it all! Basically about the small that brawl. The tall, including some that awesomely, eventually fall! The great book of life collects and reflects the surreal or unnatural. The frail and the pale. Actions hailed while eluding a whale! This great book of life will it prevail? Yes prevail! Amen! The great book of life amen, amen.

As I walk down the street That looks nothing but normal, With pedestrians walking on the sides Mothers calling sons after school, Teenagers writing their dreams with sweat pants and converse shoes Trotting down the pathways with their personalities Compressed in their back packs; I like to play a game called “What’s behind the steering wheel?” A bomb; A wired representation of defeat An open gate to oblivion, A flower with pedals of fire Pollen of political tyranny With ignorant humans for bees That “spread the word”. “What’s behind the steering wheel?” A kid reading a book Forgetting the world outside For the worlds in fairy tales Seem real; And as soon as his eyes start rolling He envisions himself a leader of a striking army A great protector of truth, Or even a little girl dancing her way into the forest; Busy being a child She never thought about the monsters waiting on the other side; And all those characters are despised, In a world where innocence is put aside Where dreams are confiscated Like phones in elementary schools, Where minds only follow And hearts are black; In a world, Where reading a book becomes a threat Only terminated by something louder than life But nothing is louder than words. “What’s behind the steering wheel?” Afraid tyrants, Calculating their reign In seconds And seconds are all they leave us Before we leave us, Before we start making martyrs of our names And memorials of our pictures, Before we write elegies Before we write poems of anger Before we cry down our thoughts Screaming the names of those we lost; Afraid that one day, No one will remember those names Afraid, That one day, Our name would be among them. Ow martyrs who left us a world to fix Our hands are tired of typing, Our eyes are drowning For the more we write down your names on our souls The heavier are our tears; Our thoughts are crumbling Into posts and statuses But who are we posting for, if all of you are dead? Ow martyrs who left us with more spaces to cover We cannot cover all this by ourselves. Our trials are self-destructing, Our memories are filled with images of you Hoping that our memories stay memories As we revolute towards our future. Our flowers are wilting, Our candles are too close to burning out We have read all the prayers that we know And as the journey prolongs I ask myself… “What now?” Our rage is dormant, Our eyes are open as we observe The post traumatic epilepsies the world is coming about, Our minds, Once fooled Are now base lines for our attacks; Our hearts are filled with images of you In an open chamber Easy to access For one day All these images will appear on the surface of us And that is the day we avenge you Ow martyrs who left us, You left us with a world to fix and a nation to create.

Look at your torn fingers Wrapping around transparent love Grasping at what you perceive as real Based on fear of losing everything You could not bare the endless possibilities That reside in your flawed mind Speaking foreign languages of false gods Cupids illusion for perfect hearts The perfect rendition of serenity Yet we are all flawed Radioactive identities in the ***** hands of death himself Pleading... praying for a drip of pure water to let my demons go To help me see a vivid love once agian Travelers of ancient times define pathways as divine temptations Paths that can lead a flock of lambs to kingdom come or to a deathly sun Blind eyes could see the words Etched deep inside stone tablets Jehovah be of golden truth He envisions all likes of love That wills me to make my fingers bleed And grasp what i can not see For faith be the only reason why I know its real

The reason why i know its right
Ever since I met her, I felt like I've been living in a fantasy world where pearls are found on land, diamonds are bound to our hands and the passing of the sands seems all too quick for me and her. I have dreamed of a love like this, a love that keeps me up at night not from fright nor fear of what may come in the darkness but the way an artist envisions his paintings and drawings walking, talking behind each hidden smile and each following eye I felt like I've leapt on the canvas and painted exactly what I wanted. This girl, she makes me scared, makes me happy, makes me sad, not the bad kind of sad but sad to ever think about disappointing her, the blur in memories are filled in with moments where her smile is visible, like a mythical creature; I can not believe such a beautiful girl exists. Betwixt the sunrises and sunsets, I've seen my share of happiness, my life is one happy mess and it's thanks to that one angel. My starshine, may we be together forever in time, I love you always and forever; whichever one of those is longer, and each day I grow stronger with nothing but the thoughts of you. So because of you, I am happy again...but also scared. Scared...because I'm scared I may never ever love again, unless that person was you. Happy valentines day beautiful.

To StarShine
Morning voice whispers: Stillness and silence bring and guide the soul from the darkness into the door of light, bring hopes, bring tears of happiness, and dancing into the new breath of life, rebirth and producing "healthy baby"...  And known that I'm loved I'm being blessed. Poetry replies: All welcome... As the dews in the morning shimmering the rays of love to the world... All welcome... As the morning air cleanses the past burdens... Purifies the bloodstream of mind and heart to the point (of no return) where freedom exhilarates life; envisions the paths for greater humanity and God's glory... All welcome...

Dialog two souls # 1
The man blanketed in nervousness Darting across the faded stripes Wrapped in second hand clothes Nothing appealing. The man envisions future events Pondering on the choices he will make Soiled from a hard day’s work Nothing appealing. The man clenching the wonders Smiling when he sees her Presenting the flowers Everything appealing.

She's such a visionary, she pictures art where peasants revel... had a near death experience, said she even saw hell... She sees potential in me, despite the times that i fell.. she convinced me to keep throwing pennies in wells.. not because she believes in myths and superstitions... but because she sees homeless people dig in after all the wishin.. So on a good day, i throw in a few quarters, she sees i care. But im no hero i just want Ms. Adeline to be aware.. Everything she sees, and envisions she blesses. & Everyone agrees... So i tell her. Never take your lovely eyes off the world, please. She promised me she wouldn't, ever since she saw God. What makes her see goodness?, what makes her so kind?..... if only the world knew, Ms. Adeline was born blind. -afj

Mabel is breathing....     no one ever visits. She has tended flowers and done laundry all     life for others. No one needs her.     She has a bad knee and Neuropathy , subsists now on pain medication and sugars.     No one calls her. She envisions one day getting flowers.     Or hearing again from that gentleman, who twenty years ago smiled.     Or her children or grand young ens'; but no one writes her one letter.      In the cold she wears all those sweaters she knitted. So no  people remember her, I will!     I visit and bring the flowers I grew specially for her,     the prettiest yellow roses, while she lives!

ode to Mabel
There is a place in our Universe Visited by awestruck beings. Where thoughts never turned to verse Can be rejuvenated and seen. The Universe has to stow These lost thoughts for a reason. So somewhere it springs to life In a place called Lost Poet's Heaven. When a poet envisions a scene Or conjures up a line, Lost Poet's Heaven, wouldn't you know it, Embalms it into time. The grieving maiden, too Succumbed by tears to write, Expresses her plight, unleashes her heart, With nothing but her thoughts. These thoughts she never penned Can reappear again When she has died, and her tears have dried, And beholds Lost Poet's Heaven. Lost Poet's Heaven, splendid and serene. Filled with art to the tops Of the pink clouds gathering. Down comes the purple raindrops Entrapped with your script. You taste it on your thirsty tongue, Lavishing long lost rhymes with every sip. The sunshine casts rays of sublime poetry. Later to be felt on the skin, Absorbing the memory. The Universe is kind, but doesn't want The Hopeless Romantic to know it. In Lost Poet's Heaven, the girl of his dreams Is wooed by the clueless poet. So when you lose your train of thought, Smile, don't you fret. In Lost Poet's Heaven, what you forget Can be free to float about in mystery.

Lost Poet's Heaven
Rilke is wrong Life isn't right There is too much pain Too much hurt Not enough light The darkness consumes It cannot be beat One must just stand all alone Shaking from head down to feet He has to fight the outside To improve the within The bleakness is heavy His strength is wearing thin How much longer can he fight To feel goodness and warmth When wrong seems so easy Cold, evil winds blow in from the north Chilled to the bone From a murderous gust He digs deep in his brain To remember to trust Memories spring to life The blackness fades to grey His face smiles a bit And suddenly, it is not such a horrible day His soul begins to warm He envisions a time When someone picked him up so high His spirit continues to climb All darkness is gone now The gloomy shadow has passed Sunshine has replaced it Out it has been cast It is not finished forever This he surely knows But next time he will be ready To stand firm until over it blows Life may not be right But perhaps it's not wrong He realizes this now And right now He is immeasurably strong

Letter 9: Rilke
Western star I set for hours in the darkness spellbound you held my gaze The trees and night darkness completed the picture Your mind races ever higher quiet etude the engulfing blaze Silver light breaks all captivity you to are suspended held amidst glories brow Within darkness you are the cloaked sojourner destination improbability Somewhere in the mix of thoughts for a brief time you are free of all concerns All that exists is the span of distance in all this voluminous emptiness lies compatibility Measureless void you wash in great waves against my enthralled soul You give abundant texture to the wall and windows that I view this indispensible wonder Because I know you seem localized but half of the earth at least can be held in the same awe The earth when viewed aright by going to the edge and then stepping into space unchained bounder Do you affix your very being to channels that gird the heavens go beyond be spellbound at long last right living You’re tenuous diminished life will catch space in the raw your life will begin at long last to thaw Your views will startle and alarm those not yet up to the throttled speed found at every level life should be lived Adventures have for millennia shown the way over and beyond the darkest expanses victory without flaw Table your defeated hand speak with dignified power as you break the common tide thou conquer who envisions stars as friends

I've been thinking about our hug you left me with yesterday, The one that convulsed my shoulder muscles and made my ribs cry just a little, But a good cry, like the happy tears after holding a new puppy. You said in that way, As you have made a habit of With sarcasm and sincerity, "You'll always be my sweetheart", And then you said that you won't call me your sweetheart in public. That makes me so angry, And you think I'm joking, But I'm not. Because I can't stop thinking about how those hugs and "sweethearts" are dwindling, How each time you leave for a winter in the southern states I cringe at the thought that I may never greet you for Easter next year. And every time we find you asleep, Open mouthed on the couch We only panic for a second as to whether you will wake up this time. You stand like a family monument, So unique in composition, With your structured titanium back and chiseled limestone arms that threw me playfully and carried me as your cowgirl, And transformed our red, wooden house to sophisticated tan siding when I was too young to remember, With your skin so dark from perma-tan I thought you were black when I was 6, With your infinite woodworking skills and artistic envisions with architecture That crafted dollhouses and swing sets for me at 8, With your callused hands beyond remission and your ever bruising fingernails that paddled us down the Ausable at 13, With your steel toed boots sewn into your feet that allowed me to dance on them till I was 15, With your artificial heart valve and five open heart surgeries. Once I thought it was instrumental, magical, the watch nestled under your ribs. But now every time I get that gut squeezing hug as a goodbye I can hear that valve faintly tick, And I pretend it's not your clock, Trembling with each diastolic and Systolic murmur, Gears cracking and eroding inside your kindled muscles, Struggling to keep up with its more natural brothers inside that engulfing muscle, That which reminds your family of Your selfless and infinitely giving persona. But it only reminds me that your days of rock polishing And dentured smiles are ending rapidly.

My flicking lick Not the trick to get your **** sticky? Rather a thick **** light brown if you're picky? When I'm sick the words drip And I sip, sip Ahhhh Then **** it back and spit it And behold an angry love poem untold Never bold enough to hold it to you Just not something I'd do But these words are true... Thoughts in my envisions Nightmares ask permission To intrude on my hopeless solitude And they do. You're my dry Valentine I could wonder why, or cry. But I'll just call that old thing back, goodbye.

Dry Valentine
Opening 6 am eyes To squealing leaf blower, time-squinching ******* tightening siren, a drone for your eyes to float inside, A sudden soundtrack to text Message suicides, , bitterbombs , from New York The words pop up wobbly, glossy, bobbling around to the beat of their sender’s notions Distressed as he wakes to the sting in his eyes And envisions your eyes opening after, succeeding, Not alarmed yet. still separate from the void where his thoughts haven’t occurred yet. Projected comics play out in both minds, saracastic kids, bouncing around like blotter acid making escstatic pangs of it all. While the world drives on A steaming freight train heading straight through Kansas To Alberquerque To beyond Until were back again going to sleep In love with our pillows.

Shoegazing.  The first time I heard of it, I understood it immediately.  Some may be hard-pressed to find the attraction in the stillness of the spotlight, but any modern romantic envisions with ease the dust on the tops of well-worn Converse, scraped from the warped wooden floors of the old warehouse/depot/theater/other artifact of urban decay turned venue.  Such mighty inwardness may produce confidence in the "performer," but true faith, as such a focused person must know, comes from truly knowing thyself.  From these fragmented origins spring the music, the serene meditation of one lifting higher the soul of the watchers.  He does not know that he has watchers.  All is as it should be. Stargazing.  It's been many a year since my earnest forays into the night, trying to capture the clean green-dusk scent that also unaccountably exists in the ugly, fragrant shelves of the public library.  Who of those that take the time to look does not appreciate the night sky?  It is an open mysticism, inviting, to some calling, with less of the hypnotic tricks like incense and smoky air but more compelling draughts of equal parts mystery and light.  Light, for our nature; only the sort of dark mystery that alludes to more of the nature of ourselves, more essence.  Future.  But to open myself to the sky is to become sensitive, seemingly undesirable to the warm, smoky fragrance of an always inward and reflecting (stagnating) heart, which is why recollection caught me unprepared when she referred to the relation of my posture to the drably speckled slabs of ceiling as perfect stargazing.  With the recollection of such charged memories, I was more surprised when she leaned awkwardly back against my knees and called it Stargazing.

she sits by her window to write, ever fond of the morning light; not a day passes when she fails to pen an epistle to him she envisions him pulling the missives from his saddle bags perusing them a second time, a third, admiring her chancery cursive a year now since she saw him: steady on his steed, his regiment waiting, eager to join the fray, to ride north under his proud command perhaps at eventide, she will write another letter, in case she forgot anything she intended to say this morn, or just to reach out again before the setting of the sun a cloud passes as she signs her name, another as she folds the paper; soon it seems, a gathering storm--she places the letter in the envelope, its traveling home she turns the candle to pour the wax, then presses the seal; another story from her to him ready for its long journey the stroll from her room to the mantel in the parlor to the pile of paper that grows higher above the hearth a cold cavern of late, for without him, she eschews all things warm--for she knows he must be freezing in the cruel ground where he fell (Spartanburg, South Carolina, Winter, 1863)

the waning light
The bugle plays it's song As it does every day over the PA system The children rise And face the flag Out of respect? Who could know When their true thoughts Are locked away inside? One little girl Envisions painting a picture With the hues of the banner Near her a small boy Stares into space, Dreaming about a shiny new toy Waiting for him at home Across the room Stands the teacher Behind her desk Facing the object It is her obligation to face She is very deep in thought, Concerning her dinner that evening In the back corner of the room Stands a boy Straight as an arrow Saluting Old Glory A single tear running down his cheek He, like the others Focuses on faraway things Something not within his reach Not now Never again Unlike the others, He breaks his stare from the flag Bows his head And whispers "Thank you, Daddy"
