"equip" poems
You are the light That hides below the horizon I await humbly for your rays To illuminate this darkened season You are the beacon That would build me anew Equip me with newfound notions When dreams and hopes are far and few You are the air Of a fresh new start Allowing this body another chance At retrieving a brand new heart You are the opportunity Held my breath for far too long Soon be granted to live again And choose the right from the wrong You are the day Like many have too often said Due to arrive after tonight And embrace me as I laid in bed You are the tomorrow The promise of my brand new day But there have been many tomorrows That have come and gone away You are my tomorrow My future, bearing much needed balm Maybe tomorrow I may finally realise That you would never ever come

You Are My Tomorrow
This is hellopoetry I do not dwell on Hurtful comments Or negativity The insanity of the way Humans marginalize And hate others Without reasons Without merits Is like knives in my heart All I see is beauty everywhere Every human on earth Is a universe in their own right A manifestation of uniqueness That can never again replicated I’m here to write and share my thoughts With those who cares for it Give the world a snapshot Of my soul and it’s principles My dream my pain my emotion my humanity If negativity is where you dwell I implore you stay out of my inbox Highly recommend you read Motivating things Or maybe listens to songs That would cheer you up I learned most storms Don’t come to disrupt Your life rather to clear your path The challenges equip you With the necessary weapons And tools you need to Spiritually advance Therefore I’m stepping Into your hatred challenge With confidence and much More wisdom than I had. Don’t let hatred dwell In your mind and heart For I have nothing but Love for you my brother If you had my life You would understand!

Evil Are Not Welcome
Education is currently being used as a weapon to arm the educated to defend the system. Question the system. Go out there and equip yourself for the right belief. Be a dreamer. The dream is beautiful. The problem with dreams is that you don’t know the dream has turned into a nightmare until you wake up. Are you awake? Be awake. The problem with being awake; we need to rest. Lucidly dream. Be lucid. The problem with being lucid; you’re lucid. There was a dream not long ago. The dream was beautiful. We liked the dream, the dream became ours and we slept. Slowly we all grew tired. Those that did not need to sleep, those that did not like our dream, we treated like children. We know that we need to rest and we were tired. We left our children to starve. We forced others to sleep and so, we forced our children to sleep. Even in our sleep, we forced others to sleep. And so the big dream grew. It became nightmare. We all dream. Be aware of others dreams. Be aware of others while we sleep. Be aware of those that sleep while we awaken. When you wake and see your siblings rest no longer. That their dream, once ours, has turned to terror. The problem with dreams… We force our children to sleep. Is this bad? Always question. Should we force them to wake? Force can create. Force can destroy. The problem with being awake, when we know our brothers and sisters sweat in there nightmares; we have a choice. That is not a choice to wake them or not. To hope for the best. That the nightmare will end and the dream will return. A dream that has travelled through the terrors of our minds will not return the same. Would you like the red pill or the blue pill? Is there good and bad? Force can create and destroy. Be mindful of how you wake. Be lucid of how you force others to wake. Tea or coffee; a cigarette; some breakfast; some fear? Use balance. We are all unique. I have a personal story. As I wrote this, typos occurred in the original edit. The technology, ‘swipe’ was used.  I meant to spell unique and unite was spelt. Personal became powerful and with turned to WE. Is there a reason ‘i’ should always be capitalized? ‘i’ wish to be mindful of my readers. ‘i’ want to stay true to them. We that can read are the readers. ‘i’ am the reader. When I isn’t capitalized I began to feel more comfortable with using it, if i gave it arms; ‘i’. And when I typed to explain that, I went to preferring if isn’t typing out ‘and then i and then ‘, to just type two of them; ii. We don’t want to be alone. There’s no I in teamwork but there is and I in kind. I is complicated. Be you. Find your voice. Have a voice and be aware. Others have a voice. What would happen if we all respected each other’s voice? What would happen if we all had the same voice? That was the beauty of the dream. The dream is travelling through nightmare and is slowly returning. It has changed. Unite our uniqueness’s. Do you eat fast food? I love it. It is a dream… Do I eat it all the time, I hope not. Ken Robinson is a good man to ask. Consider food for the mind. There are beliefs out there. There’s a belief out there that our world is ****** Forgive the language. Understand it. I wanted to say, ‘that our world is doomed; eternally ****** to be destroyed’ and that scared me. **** There will always be nightmares, disaster and destruction. What is an ‘aster’? Curious. When did we chose to destroy; each other? Could we create; each other? There’s a belief out there for that one too. Are you awake, yet?

A string of words that flow like the rivers, Showing enough thought to provide the shivers. Reflections of the poet within, The type thrown out in the garbage bin Or the type framed and hung on the wall. There's a poet within us all. Not all are eager to show their inner poet, But would rather let it set sail As rivers stream from their eyes Due to the symbolic lie They believe, making them pale As, with their sorrow, they wallow it. Patronizing executives and farmers Believe their exterior would be shattered If their inner poet let slip. Once somebody gives them lip, They harden as if it mattered And equip their shields and armors. The Spartan with the inner-Athenian Would be killed by his friends If they knew who he was on the inside. This fills him with fear. He keeps his ears open to hear If anyone is coming as he hides So his poetry will have its end Before this war with the Peloponnesians. Such beauty gone to waste All because this facade of masculinity Everyone puts on to protect themselves From the beasts in this society That would love to shatter those dreams. Artists should gather in teams, Ready to fight this anarchy That would place our poetry on the shelves, Collecting dust with haste. Collecting dust with haste.

The Spartan with the Inner-Athenian
The time will come Where my words will forever remain as unforbidden memories Left by those that remember me from our legacy in creation. Wielding the pen is a concept a complex human as myself will never achieve the skill-set to master. It's a calling for me to wield justice and harmony My time to equip the sword, will be my destiny soon. I'm not afraid of the battle ahead. I have slayed demons stronger than my own Fought against my alter ego and argued with my conscious for answers Witnessed guardian angels endure tragic falls. _The pen is mightier than the sword_ _The sword completes the point and cuts down the objective differently_ _I am not afraid to die protecting the world I love_ _It's all a cost for new age peace & awakening on the other side_ _I will not continue a cycle of hatred!_ _ I love every part of you and it's worth fighting for_

The Pen & The Sword
A sinister crimson smile spreads across my lips, thinking wicked thoughts while weapons I equip My inky eyes narrow as I step into the street, I have a dark night ahead & a hero to beat I feel it's time for a new villain to grow, one whose not afraid to watch the blood freely flow I'm going to show them all whose really chief, & never will I suffer any of their grief I ask before I **** them, one last query, "Why so serious?" I laugh viciously, their eyes get teary Then as the blood pours from a fresh cut, I go insane, merely a part of my psychopathic game So here I am, carving smiles into their faces, dicing their flesh into ribbons & laces Waiting for the hero to try & save the day, anticipating a new game for me to play Because around here, you can't just be mediocre They'll see, I'll show them, I am the Joker

Twenty Four . I Am the Joker
I want to be a safari woman I will stand in a regal position with my elephant gun cocked, Finger resting firmly on the trigger. Will I dress as an Indian war leader? Will I choose to look like a gentleman? Or will my attire consist of camouflage paint and steel toed boots that walk with a purpose? It may change daily, but I still possess the same desire inside- To be one with this habitat so intriguing, so mysterious and concealed. The rivers call my name. As I paddle my silver bullet canoe into the abyssal waters ebbing and bending around my streamline vessel, The water calms at my own will in a passive manner much like the coo of a dove The trees know my presence -Such a command I boast- They know to bow at my arrival and whistle their harmonious flutters. The babies cower at the sight of my polished machete. The mothers stiffen when I equip it with a cool hand. I am Simba. I am ruler. Africa, Asia, India, I own this land as my own, And I understand it is needy. I care for it in sickness, I check its fever regularly, I mother every animal, every bush, And in return they signal their respect. As the day ends, the sun sings "good night" and the moon chimes in with a "good morning". I watch as the fish jump from the waters to catch their dinner airborne, And the bats chirp above me while my campfire crackles in response. I watch the stars mirror themselves onto the water, yearning to be remembered as something great. A day of accomplishment achieved. I am a real woman, I am a safari woman.

What I want For Christmas is Just the barest Of necessities All my teeth Not just two So when I eat I can chew A skip and jump Back in my step So each morning I have some pep A pair of glasses Which self defrost A set of keys Which don’t get lost All my hair Put back in place So I don’t have That barren space A pair of shoes With self tie laces So I don’t have to Reach those places A set of arteries That don’t plug A nice cold beer Which I can chug To have someone My brain equip With that new fangled Memory chip So it can tell me My intent When I stood up And why I went A bunch of prunes Which are pre dated To work just when I’m constipated A gizmo that will So to speak Turn off my wee wee’s Little leak So I don’t have I’ll just be blunt Those little dribbles In the front A cork that fits My *** hole, please So hemorrhoids don’t pop out Whenever I sneeze A longer arm That would pass Behind my back To wipe my *** On this I’ll end My little list I don’t want Santa To get ****** BOEMS BY JA 103

Mold me a helm of platinum. Plate my neck in ornate roses and arc both ******* in tongues of steel. Spill an hourglass of silver sheets to silhouette each torso curve. Sculpt iron vines over each hip. Caress my keep in chastened press; form gold like liquid down my legs. Engrave a crest of two joined doves upon my hexagonal shield. String leather sheathes with your golden hair. Equip a morning star with spires that mock the dullness at your rest, yet forge my sword of diamond strength formidable as your excited state. Look on me where I stand armored. Embrace away my fancied suit. Please… lay me down, Love, gently Love, and place a flower in my hair.

Some we see no more, Tenements of Wonder
Words like water, oh how the speech can delay. Dripping eloquent but lost to rivers, indulged in deluge, overwhelmed in expression, comments and decree. I want you here, oceans away. How can I touch the chatter, be diluted in a voice. Move me with your extract, alluded, trembling from afar. Waking up to different sides of the moon I need you here, sunshines away. and the blades from petals still stabbed like it was torture though it crumbled in effect why the trouble for pistol flowers when aching is within a splinter. Something so beautiful, lost to an operating system. Quiet rumbles, not big enough to make a sound. Even if I screamed, my vocals typed to characters, you would not, could not hear my strain. Efflorescence, our love it blooms. Flourished in email, video plays, stills. Across the ocean I came, to wake up in the sunshine, with the moon at our side. Sprouting up new love, greater than we thought equip. Even through storms, snow, rain, I am ecstatic here, your body I call my house, your smile I call my home.

The sword and the shield, I take up both in earnest For it is my duty to wield them, And my pleasure to do so A glinting blade And a sturdy shield Sharpened to it's peak, absolute in it's protection Tis better to defend than attack For brutality is unbecoming But one cannot have defense Without attack preceding But both I equip myself with For my charge requires their duality And without them both I would fail my calling My intent is to seek That which is symbiotic to me One who has need of prowess While completing me as well I offer my sword and my shield Fierceness, and refuge All I ask in return Is that which makes me whole Pursuing that mystical essence To complete my trinity A labyrinthine soul Yet simple in it's meaning Her who needs me And who I so badly need Solace for her And a purpose for me My sword and shield I offer them passionately If only to find her My waiting princess

~ The Great Switch Off *louder in its silence, than a flicked light switch in the midst of a  midnight-darkened house more crackling than the slowest of lasting gunshot resounding re-soundings, of the ice pond white coverlet shredding itself apart, by its own voluble volition I hear the switch switching off, the giving-in, taking over, the surrender negotiations swift concluded with just those you know, two words let the anguish languish, the discipline, become someone else's disciple, just let me be well familiar this on-off moment, well recalled from all prior nine lives, exactly the where and the when was, I gave up on trying, but never needed the why cause the why was inadmissible, tampered evidence, dampened down, tainted lies and justifies tomorrow I'll restart, re-equip, cause the catching up with lost sleep a minimum week, to require, to reacquaint, with the on-demand, life props for properly slacking off* ***the oldest loudest sound you have and will ever make, the crack of self-deception, when your mind lies to yourself, this latest, greatest switch off is only temporary*** ~ Feburary Nineteenth, Two Thousand and Sixteen 5:49 am nyc

The Great Switch Off
i’m awakened by the climb of the chime of your mirror bell as you zip above me like the shadows of the golden metal that echo in my ear. but it seeps so strangely under your clenched fists, as i watch you pedal and ascend one knee after another, as sweat condenses on the handles, and streamers sputter in the wind. all i recognize you feel is blur, and the substance we need to pedal, fill your mouth and choke muscle and tendon, as our cartilage crammed turbines rise and fall like the pant of your lung as you tricycle away from the choker covalently bonded to the first of all that matters. yet we giggled - we snorted, while printing the memory on your chip as the disc swerved away. rue had let you run over my toes with our red. you rose and fell over the unseen ivory bones; and i pleaded for a motion of cyclical squeeze more potent than a chip and a wheel gone awry. such as our disc shattered in two, i stooped on our step with palm under arch, limp from the stubs of nails that bled out like thorn bush creaking to the zip code that a tricycle is no bicycle when one wheel decides to drift away.

It’s been a long time Since I faced this canvas Maybe it was a lack of time A vacation with no rest Actively brain dead, I couldn’t test the ability to conjure rhymes A failure to excavate and train my mind Or maybe it was because I had lost my inspiration A certain spark or connection to my lost art For someone who once felt complete, this is certainly a lost component of my heart I ramble and I apologize but this barren realm sometimes requires this Let me discuss a discovery that I made Rather something I hadn’t noticed I lost A longing for love… To find one and bask in her radiance And enrich her with the emotions I have since kept latent I used to believe I was searching for purity Someone simply made for me, But experience would soon prove those thoughts foolish Because sadly life will always inflict the heartache Ashanti described To those who didn’t know it yet strap yourselves in for a bumpy ride But the ride will equip you with the knowledge and experience needed to keep growing Anyhow I digress, see this topic was often something I stressed But lately, I’ve kept it at bay, admit to myself it was okay Exposed myself to what the Christians would claim are sins Stupid morals and standards At such a young age who the hell was I to judge? We’re all still learning, don’t you dare ever hold a grudge I just want someone to hold A girl with a confidence all her own But still depends on my love Her imperfections whatever they may be Will make her perfect because she is To me And when I sleep I will rest easily knowing She makes me happy Genuinely content as I take one last look at her in my arms Until the sun rises above our heads once more A kiss to her forehead and I whisper, “Sweet dreams my love, Sweet dreams” But until then I’ll keep the faith And see what paths in life awaits me Until I am once more reintroduced to love.

To arms! To arms! Arise thou stricken knave! For merry mischief summons thee from rest; Arise! Arise! The battle thou dost crave, Hast struck thy heart like thunder in thy breast. Put on the silken cloak embossed with gold, Raise up that sword, equip the heavy shield; Throw off thy weary battle-scars of old, Onwards to war, and never shall ye yield! Advance! Advance! Thy nemesis appears, Wade thru the lesser men, brush them aside; With battle drums a-ringing in your ears, No friend or foe will tarry e'er thy stride;         Fear not the daggered eyes, the poisoned glance --         "Perchance my lady, would ye care to dance?"

Onwards to War
These silky smooth syrupy words shine for most. For the powerful, they are a weapon. For the weak, it is what kills them. Words are amazing; they can do so much and so little. To find the right ones is near impossible; they always seem to be right out of my grasp. They are so easily misinterpreted, what was meant to shoot someone up, instead, tears them down. I misuse my words often, for I am of reckless nature. I often equip them as my weapon in this constant battle they call life. I am an incredibly accurate ****** my words hit the heart easily. I keep reloading my pernicious gun without checking to see how many I wounded. I walk right past them. Not a care in the world. My friends have started to disappear. Is it I who shot them down? But I was aiming to make most laugh, not tear a few apart. And now, my anger is boiling - why should they find offense to what I said as a meaningless joke? Or maybe I should not joke with these wretched, wicked words that have hurt so many. As I sift through the rubble, searching for remains, I begin to wonder. What it was I said that killed them. Im slowly realizing how much pain my words really cause. Every time I muttered I hate you I shot you down, until you could stand no more.

My Words
Remember your true calling / As the susurrant breeze wafts your epidermis / And the platinum moon glistens / Atop the clouded expanse of The Cimmerian Skies. / Know The Transcendental One walks with you / Forces unseen fight for thee, / You are enclaved within the omnipresent mist, / Of Jehovah God, The Most High. / "But you are 'a chosen race, a royal priesthood, / A holy nation, a people for special possession, / That you should declare abroad the excellencies of the One who called you / Out of darkness into his wonderful light.'" —1st Peter 2: 9 (NWTSE) / Equip yourselves for your pilgrimage / Doven divine Aether, / For strength, wisdom, justice, love, / Courage, beauty, & indefatigability. / Your journey is yours & yours alone, / Walk through the rain unafraid, / Believe in The Light when Stygian Shadows fall, / Cleave to The Cosmo-Plexus of Empyreal Love as you effloresce in The Light of The Sun. / Your testimony is power, / Your story is a shockwave pulsar through The Ages; / Therefore, use your promenade down the experiential cascade / To prepare your souls for eternity. / (—Se' lah)

The Ages (Originally penned on Wednesday, February 21st, 2024)
Coke at the fireplace, sitting in a crowd It just doesn't stop. Doesn't quit. "As long as there's that tic tic followed by that bump" you sway your hips. red dress shayshaying against your hips. soft satin rubbing on that skin of an angel. it's a black night in a white light You don't know what this means quite yet, but the pulsating beat tapping on your soles in the distant city it beckons for you, to come out tonight and dance your way back to it. It's a white light actually it's a white light in your eyes now. that's what happens when you're destined for this part equip yourself on this ride satin feels like a itchy grip now don't it? but all is better ain't it? many a hour later you shall share with us this splendor blinding magnificence for we are the peons and you are the the great inquisitor of the abstract blue slanging rocks, on the mountain tops. Should we know better or shall we know less?
