"eons" poems
Hope surges upward from your core and to the heart. It warms your blood as your heart crushes into itself twice every second and unbelievably, your mind starts to think of a million and one possibilities. Your hand tingles and finally, after what seemed like eons, you think you are feeling hope again. You start suppressing it out of reflex- an unconscious, uncontrollable action. You push it down, right back to the void it came from but its too late and your lips are curving upwards into a gentle smile. You anticipate euphoria -almost can feel it at the top of your fingertips and you finally let yourself believe and hope. It comes crashing down without warning. For a second, you still smile because your mind could not process the disappointment yet. Then - hurt, sadness, shock - flits through your mind. You still hold on to your hope like a child who refuses to let go of candy. Your smile wavers. But just like grabbing onto handfuls of sand, hope will fall out through your tightly clasped fingers. You realised that your hold on hope is no longer and instead, it is replaced by cold, unforgiving reality. Like an icy slap to your face, like an unexpected kick to the stomach, like a bite from a dog you have always love- that is how disappointment feels like.

Disappointment
*Try to understand That’s left unsaid Pick up subtle clues Follow your heart Calling of the soul Sighs of yearning After many eons True heart calling Just surrender To be forever*

Today not all of our mistakes are failures Today I'm closing the door on the things we keep behind our teeth, the ways we never learned how to be soft, but always tried our best anyway this is a tribute to the lost sleep the nights I keep marked in tallies on my arms, the letters I keep locked up in a dark drawer, where maybe something besides moths and regret will eat away at them. Today, not all of our thoughts are broken today you take me out of my skin and I learn how to dance; the rhythm is choppy but I follow it anyway, after all we are only testing the waters here we are only stargazers awaiting some grand cosmic miracle, we are waiting with our hands in our pockets for something big to happen, we are falling in and out of obsession chasing strangers around and around in circles, throwing our fists in the air claiming "not everything is lost", slowly coming to the realization that it's also true not everything is found. Today you don't know what you're looking for but you can't stop searching the horizon, like maybe if you peer long enough, your brain will slow down enough to process the harsh thump-thump, thump-thump that tells you you're still alive that tells you you're still here that tells you you're still waiting And my fingernails are digging into my palms now from the suspense of writing and re-writing my name onto fresh pages, crumpling and collecting them in the bottom of waste baskets along with half smoked cigarettes and last night's rain, because it is rare that two paths will cross in this world with anything more than a brief flash of recognition, it is rare that anything better can be captured before it slips down through the cracks; but that thought was me eons ago that was me in someone else's skin today I'm putting nets out to catch the things we throw around & never keep, I'm writing your story into my daily script & keeping a list of "to-dos" before the big event; tonight I'm alone and I'm too busy to look out the window, maybe the stars will flicker or maybe they won't, but regardless I'm still counting my heartbeats to know that I'm here (still counting my heartbeats to know the time I have left), I'm still patching this wound up with fragments of could have been, reminding myself that not all of our hearts are broken, and not all of our moments are failures.

We open our minds to expand to the times not to pretend there is some end to confine the limits of prime; we defend to remind to dance to the trance we redefine to enhance not to surrender to chance. We open our hearts to embrace the new space-time transparency, interdimensional race as we become united and one, open to truth we exhibit ourselves as one infinite youth, gifted and new, eternally pure evolved to endure no end to potential, perfect and cured. We strengthen our bodies and build on each other we love ourselves and love one another we grow and mature and extend to our neighbors but as we think deeper our expansion is greater our planet is one and our galaxy peace to the opening worlds we bring wisdom and ease we do not enslave or deny or deceive but we share our pure knowledge our light and belief. We raise up our souls beyond science and physics to evolve beyond consciousness confinements and limits our imperial nature shifts to emerge from the boundaries of body and smallness of Earth we expand our perception to include all dimensions from previous eons to future inceptions. We shift our new world from finite to light, universal, infinite, natural, bright we embrace the day and welcome the night to work with each other to be perfect, upright, to evolve our new planet, our galactic mindframe to expand from micro to cosmically aimed to unlock the portals to open our brains to evolve from old gears to interdimensional spheres uniting creation without hesitation pure as clean water and deep meditation. -Ryan Christopher Brandes

SURRENDER YOUR HEART REMOVE THE GUARDS AND RELINQUISH THEIR SHIELDS. YOU NEED TO FEEL THIS THOROUGHLY LOVE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SAFE OR MEASURED SO, LOVE IRRATIONALLY. JUMP OFF A CLIFF WITHOUT CONSIDERING CONSEQUENCES, LOVE SPECIFICALLY. PAY ATTENTION ON THE SMALLER DETAILS OF THE BIGGER PICTURE, LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE DAYS WHEN YOU DON’T LIKE HER, BUT THE LOVE MUST REMAIN AND IN THE EVENT THAT LOVE BREAKS YOU, LET IT BREAK. DO NOT CLOSE YOURSELF OFF OR SHUT YOURSELF DOWN. YOUR HEART WILL BE SHAPED AND RESHAPED, BUT IN THE END IT WILL STILL BE YOURS. AS HUMAN WE ARE BLESSED WITH THE SKILL OF ADAPTATION IT’S KEPT US HERE FOR EONS, YOU WILL ADAPT.

IF YOU DECIDE TO LOVE SOMEONE
*our hands are like flowers eaten by a fox we cut off our clothes to make room for these words and disguised our souls in nothing feelings suspended we rear-ended the world stood upon bridges waving at girls shreds of starlight reflect the falling carriages sadness and birth are beyond your marriages same story told throughout the eons our personal feelings are diluted in the sea just as we could no longer hold on our shadows found the ground and we floated down to safety*

Already over the sea from her old spouse she comes, the blonde goddess whose frosty wheels bring day. Why do you hurry, Aurora? Hold off, so may the birds shed ritual blood each year for Memnon's shade. Now it's good to lie in my mistress's tender arms; if ever, now it's good to feel her near. Now drowsiness is richest, the morning air is cool, and birds sing shrilly from their tender throats. Why do you hurry, dreaded by men and dreaded by girls? Draw back your dewy reins with your crimson hand. The sailor marks the stars more clearly before you rise, not raoming aimlessly across the sea; the traveller, though weary, arises when you come, and the soldier sets his savage hand to arms; you're first to see the farmers wield their heavy hoes and to call slow oxen under the curving yoke; you rob boys of their sleep and give them over to schools, where tender hands must bear the savage switch; and you send reckless fools to pledge themselves in court, where they take ruinous losses through one word; the lawyer and the pleader take no delight in you, for each must rise and wrangle with new torts; and you ensure that women's chores are never done, calling the spinner's hands back to her wool. All this I'd bear; but who would bear that girls must rise at dawn, unless himself he has no girl? How many times I've wished Night would not yield to you, the stars not fade and flee before your face! How many times I've wished the wind would smash your wheels, your steeds would stumble on a cloud and fall! Jealous, why do you hurry? If your son is black, it's since his mother's heart is that same color. How I wish Tithonus could still tell tales of you: no goddess would be more disgraced in heaven. Since he is endless eons old, you rise and flee at dawn to the chariot the old man hates, but if some Cephalus were lying in your arms, you'd cry out, 'O run slowly, steeds of night! ' Why should this lover pay, if your husband withers with age? Was I the matchmaker who brought him to you? Remember how much sleep was given to her loved youth by Luna - and she's beautiful as you. The father of gods himself, to see you all the less, joined two nights into one for his desires. I'd finished my complaint. You could tell she'd heard: she blushed; and yet the day rose at its usual time.

Like a toddler taking maiden steps The narrow stream moves through the woods Tripping and falling over pebbles and boulders Chiming its silver anklets Forcing itself in irrepressible flow It thrusts and shoves its way down Through thickets and a line of ferns And the tangle of creepers and thorny brambles Drowning the whisper of bamboo leaves Its sweet murmur falls in my ears As an eternal living melody The cosmic song heard over eons As the water sluices down the rocks It becomes a frothing braided torrent Producing a harsh grating roar Like the crescendo of a tribal symphony There it forms into a small pool With its waves gently rippling Where birds merrily come to take a dip And sunning their feathers, fly back refreshed Sometimes travelling unseen It suddenly emerges into the open Cutting its way through cracks and fissures Never willing to surrender before hurdles With a bearing immaculate in grace It sends out waves of pure delight What joy it is to watch the dilly dally Of this sedate pilgrim moving to its destination

A Stream in the Woods
bathed in the cool light of the moon, my sweet puppyhead and me, sit. under the full soft light,  her ray’s illuminating the yard, the woods. footsteps crunch drying leaves, fox, deer or foe? waning canopy, boughs lighter each day. fall, majestic, peaceful dying for another year. plants and creatures,  taking refuge in the deep dark void of mother earth, of mother nature. squirreling away tidbits for a late winter snack, coats blooming, thickening. such delight,  each night, sitting outside, my puppyhead and me. quiet and solitary, no humans  annoying me. silent and still only nocturnal creatures meandering about. what magic, what sacredness. what mystical delight. never apart, only the ONE. such silly confusion, thinking a person, separate and small, quaking with fear. the big deep dark mystery laughing and jovial, always here, here for us all. open your eyes,  feel your nature, always here, never apart. fearing death fearing life, what a silly way to live this life! the moment you were born, you began dying, what a relief, knowing the score! relaxing into the madness, laughing at it all, pure and free, forever more,  and not…… being, not being, eons of reflection, sages and rishis revealing the truth, it can’t be done for you, only you can become  that which you are…. that which you always were. my sweet love, my sweet life, my puppyhead and me, sitting here in Fall. ~~~

Sparkle, Shine
i hail from heat, heat in the heart and in the home, in the head and in the heel of the sword that swings for both justice and action. i inherit this love, this life and these virtues like heirlooms. i inherit this boldness from you i inherit the air of a highborn lady, while not without the humility of a low born daughter from you i inherit gentle hands of craft into fists of rage and fire that melt away sorrows from you i rise and fall, for from you i breathe. unspoken it was passed down, and yet it stirs and whispers to me in my bones of ancient thought and force, passed down from kin to kin, from one blood to another of temperance and will that flow like tradition— a book written on age-old sandstone pressed eons below the earth, text mapped in bloodlines over a body, not alone. never fading. you bid me to rise from dust and ashes into the woman of your forging, and so with a kiss between my brow for farewell and fortune i may live with your light tucked into my heart, because my inheritance lives within me.

Gliding in air was an eerie delightful hue hanging high above violet and blue, for eons no one had knew, the peon pest probing around the howling zoo, rhyming and roaming hiding and hoping flighty the ronin ran, groping every moment he could come to as a token to his gallantry the guidance to his apathy decided to devise his only strife to live happily

Long days seem so much longer. Distance does not make the heart grow fonder. You’ve conquered the empire of my subconscious. Your crusade so short, Yet I hope your reign continues for eons. We’re far past passive flatteries, Instead, we fill each other’s hearts with vows. You mean them now, But what about a few months? What if you decide I’m not what you want? The torment I am slowly approaching, Consumes my distant soul. I can hear the sounds of futuristic loathing, From when you decide this love has taken it’s toll. So tell me. How can I pay this inevitable toll? How can I save us from Cupid’s malicious tyranny? His arrow is too far lodged within me, I cannot remove it. I can only push it farther and farther Into my heart until it falls out of my back. But this arrow, trenchant. Cupid, the sharpest of marksmen. Yet colorblind, he is. He sees not what colors his targets represent. He draws his bow for the pure love of marksmanship. Sometimes, yet not often, He will hit the intended target. But the odds are scarce. His subjects are often punctured, And connected to one whom reciprocated Fate’s desire. Yet this time… This time… Cupid must have hit a target of Fate’s approval. For thrice he has missed. This time He and Fate are in sync. This wound may stretch over time, But the arrow shall remain firmly lodged within my ***** ***** and immovable. Until you kick it through my backside. But until then, I can only endure. I can only be woo wounded. I can only survive, Another ambush of the militant called Cupid. But I will do it for you, For by you, I’ve been so divinely seduced. Wooed by your lips. Not by your kiss, But by the music, Which your mandibles so express. I desire not to seal this wound, But to evade its’ repercussions. For I have endured a similar wound thrice. He is winged as if an angel, Yet Was Lucifer not once an angel as well? Cupid is an impostor. A spy of Agony, himself. He prays on the young, the old, the strong, and the weak. He cares not who he obliterates in his crusades. He is a bloodthirsty heathen. He makes scoundrels of Saints, And Harlots of Housewives. Saint Valentine is no Saint. He is Satan’s nightmare. At first, his arrows are ecstasy, But like a cancer, His poison-saturated arrows Seep deep within every crevice of your body. They consume you as if enriched with ****** And eventually rot within your ***** Until it is nothing but dust and a memory. One day I will assassinate Fate’s Malicious militant, The one we call Cupid.

Wrote this eons ago, tonight, once more, spend some human capital, editing... Something to think about as we tuck ourselves in. the young'uns keep on asking me for tips, secrets, to this art, magical poetry gig, as if I had any left unrevealed.   recalled this old'n, from a vintage poetry year, as a suggestion, a stating-starting place, for young poets: do not self-chain, let the words take you where they lead, write them up for the rhyme is waiting, in the heart chest deep down, not on the screen. I read you Goodnight Moon, Falling asleep beside you. <•> People stop rhyming... When first you overcome your fears, And dare to put on paper your tears, Give it up, set yourself free from the shackles, Of thinking a rhyme is a necessity for a Rooting tooting writing of a **** good poem or a barrel of crackles If you feel lost, Want to share the cost, Feel not bossed, By a newbie's need to believe that if it rhymes Everyone will like your poem Just fine And if you get past this stage, And advance to the next page, Do not think that writing down a sentence of Your mind's first up, innermost thoughts, Is something that will make you Less lost, heralded, worthy of a parade, And be blessed with an A   In your Teacher's pet grade book My heart broke.

Then employ a word outside your comfort zone, Go it alone, Write just four sentences that will make The hopeful reader stand up and you, Twice as much, and shout **Hallelujah ******* Work. Poetry is work. Hard work. Don't fret. But, think on it. Let it come easy, then let it rest,. Then spend days editing every comma, And when you love it so much, You are chest busting bursting, Why have you not pressed Send already? Have the sweetest dreams. In the morning, when you but awake, A poem will be aborning in thy mind, And dare I say it, you will find a new freedom In free verse. (I know you will slip in a rhyme or two, I can't help but do it too) G' nite!

The endless sorrows, They sought and Found me here, At what I call home . When I cannot sleep, When I cannot dream, Everything seems wrong. I glance around and view its truth I don't belong here I whisper Take me away I call out Into the darkness The windows are tinted from eons of collected dust and dirt, The low brown light that seeps through sets the tone, My vision is almost gone, I wipe and wipe But the glass is stained. The entire house is in a similar state. Echoes speak to me in the hallway It's not the house that's alive It's been dead for years I am trapped in it's carcass

House Not Home
We were an explosion: we mattered and filled the empty spaces out. We drew constellations on our walls, planned a future amongst those stars. There's planets we dressed and passionate nebulas we blessed. But somewhere in between the crosshairs, the distance exceeds us; we kept adding anyway. Time was a construct made for us to measure our existence but instead I count the seconds like decades. Your hands haven't reached for mine in eons. Our Universe might have grown but now we're galaxies apart.

The Big Bang Theory
Unto Him I am glued my King of Prussia. oxytocin- dopamine dilated his pupils inside his blue green as I entered Him, eons ago, and never came out He left but returned to my abode for me or his Tequila. I wanted to fall down crying beg him to take me with him to his heaven Saving me from the hellish existence But pain was greater then tears to convince HIM. ~~ Into his song YESTERDAY I merged  and with one voice we often sing it from that time on and on. I became his song his moon and stars. Although our fame sleeps as beauty rested in a glass coffin; with one leap across the gap chaos that one butcher with medical ignorant lies opened up and three  of us got evaporated. With one song each in heart we bridged that chasm. In his art we thrive yet for long. To Him to his heart of gold I slowly walk to, his ancient bride. Into our holy temple of forever, straight to his heart and open arms United in one single thought. Our own Taj Majal to reign we did plan to build. Into mine eye pupils, grasping all of his substance in his light projecting all was received My intergalactic time traveler. Interchangeable we are. In me he finds more than wisdom he finds truth a true artist. Our true love bittersweet. Before Him I Joyfully crumble kneeling As he embraces my swollen teary eyes and merging me Into to his heart and arms I surrender grace, charm and complete trust. There! In confining solitude In the darkest of mine nights My brightest sunny days it's him I hear, love and seek. I understand, worship and adore him forever more He's my true love! Luna tell Him! That I love him the most. ~~~~~~ Mr. And Mrs Andrew And Karijinbba. All rights reserved

I tricked a god. now Cronus can't escape. Sealing a god in an hourglass, I locked time away. To stave off my lover's date with fate. Where she will perish, becoming lost to me. Locked behind heaven's gate. Cronus promises to **** me- when i set him free. Only with his freedom will the world reanimate. Containing a god with dark magic; I made a costly mistake. Trapping him forced the world to become frozen in place. -But I could spend forever learning every little feature of her face. How her frail figure fought for every breath. The chemo for the cancer ate her weight. Shedding the hair from her head. I'll remain here by her side, until I devise an alternative to what Cronus said. stretching her final seconds into the infinite, as she lays here in this hospital bed.                            ... ♾️ ... How can i exist in a museum with one exhibit? I tried forcing time to rewind. I meant to spite the concept of mortality. Instead I've been trapped here for eons, With,her still somehow lost to me... ...I am tempted to set cronus free.                            ... ♾️ ... It's been chess with two moves: You either speak or don't speak. I can't find another way. I've become worn out and jaded. Cellmates with Cronus so long, In this temporal prison I involuntarily created.           "It's wrong to steal time. As karma,you've had no one to spend it with. You tricked a god, but I'll still grant you your wish. Undo your dark magic, a swift death I promise you, Once your soul is released from the world, I'll cure her cancer, like i believe you intended to." And as Cronus spoke.. i knew what i would do. Telling him, "I refuse to let time pass. I refuse to release you from the hourglass. I refuse to let her be lost to me." I pull her in close as i grin, Cronus accepting defeat. "I'd rather remain here... In a staring contest with eternity. " -

Drip, Drop, Splash Drip, drop, splash... Water, as it finds its final resting place below. Falling with fellow (drops), Falling off the cliff side, (drip) Falling to form very special, beautiful waterfall, (splash). Coming out into the light. Waters from storms aged years ago. Making their way through the tiniest of sandstone cracks. Having been inside the mountains above for eons. Not seeing daylight for all those years, What a surprise, when finding themselves falling and falling, to make, Drip, Drop, Splash... Brian Hill - 2019 Inspired by Poetry in the Park @ Zions

Drip, Drop, Splash
I look up at the starless sky Without the stars who should be there Sharing this moment with me This moment that hold no significance While I look, I miss the sky I miss the stars I miss the light they provide All that’s left is the moon All alone that poor moon is Glowing in the dark When it should be glowing in the light Just like me, alone when we should have others I feel the moon’s sorrow For I feel the same The empty sky is no place No place for either of us I wonder what happened Those poor little flecks of light One day here The next day gone Not a single word was said About their disappearance All forget about them Except for the moon and I Every night I would look Waiting for the stars to come back To see the moon no longer alone To see the sky back alight Every night I would look And ever y time I would despair For the stars are still gone And show no sign of returning I hear the moon weep The man on the moon weeps The tears silent But the sorrow is deafening After eons passed The stars did not return I waited, and so did the moon Finding comfort in each other’s presence There are some nights When the moon is gone And the sky is dark Missing the moon I detest those nights Fearing the worst That the moon had gone And joined the stars My fears never came to pass For the moon would always return At first a sliver Then it would all be back Even in the darkness of space The moon kept it bright A single candle in the darkness Burning ever bright I went out one night to see the moon That was my reason now For I knew the stars were gone But the moon was still there And on that one special night I realized with keep insight That not all the stars were gone That one was still left For the moon was not a candle But a mirror It reflected the light off another The light of the Sun I told the moon what I figured And the moon was joyous For not all the stars had left The Sun was still there And armed with that fact That one star was still there A glimmer of hope rekindled And I knew what I had to do I said farewell to the moon It knew what I was doing I left for the sky To bring back the stars

Purge your unclean self Your existence does not depend On the judgement of others You are the beauty created For something long before you were born Life depends on you You are what you aspire to look like Appearances fail when you forget That time is an illusion Seasons are fleeting But you will reign red-blooded The eyes follow every angle Seriously believe in your immortality The skinny boy on the runway Believes Invincibility Inevitably forever This is heaven This is hell Death is forever Life lasts beyond eons Your beauty is worn on your soul Be it an old familiar jacket That has toured the world Be it a minimalistic shift Worn moments before you were deflowered Photographs will create the verdict You will be weighed You will be measured Perfection is possible

Done with thinking because that's for god to do I am just this appendage of a greater consciousness Ahab is blameless in his small existence Don't quote me quote Herman and Freddy Nietzsche They and their hermits coming down from the mountains to declare they ought to have loved their fate all along Amor fati Why couldn't we have been stuck in the herd all along guys who get love and happiness effortless no need to spend their life in anguish searching through tomes found in tombs for eons and eons enhancing their social aloofness and their unremembered trauma 'till those sad souls give those pansies confidence to leave an exegesis of their own Too smart kid that decried Christ and the shadows of a god all around only to find the search for truth was hopeless Find a way to dumbly enjoy life again and you only say again cause that's all we can control our memories and we too often forget our thought habits the pre-neolithic mind tricks on ourselves Too many MLMs profiting off false mindfulness missing the point beyond exercise and short stress relief Change your thought patterns to love your destiny That's the best we have to pretend to have control in this ̶h̶e̶l̶l̶ hole
