"exhaustive" poems
No, I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t have the desire to see another end; after exhaustive months of getting to know a fictionalised persona, fragmented, so No, I don’t have a boyfriend. The last one hurt and you didn’t see, but that doesn’t proclaim the scar less prominent to me, my feelings numb, I no longer crave the intimacy - detrimental to me. No, I don’t have a boyfriend. The last boys touch was for him not for me and my body still screams cause he won’t let it be and you’ll never understand as the trauma won’t subside and my self esteem is diminished by his lies. No, I don’t have a boyfriend. I humoured a guy who gave it a try but all I could feel was nothing inside and when someone bumps into me sauntering by the unwanted touch still makes me cry. No, I don't want a boyfriend.

Dear Grandad...
Lately, his patience runs thin. Onerous burdens, born in mind, Vested into he who allows them. "Exhaustive, yet necessary," he sighs.

Patience
though deep he sleeps sometimes, combining this exhaustive restorative of old age, that alternates with a restlessness rest of old age ~ the brain's nightly self-cleansing, both necessities absolute so he be unsurprised, by a parallel process, occurring beside him, as woman rumbles, mumbles, all the while reenacting the things we dare not acknowledge in the waking  hours, much too painful, much to fearfully real unreal, but, best unrealized she bolts upright, looks around, attempting to cross back, looking, investigating, ascertaining time and place, localizing her orientation, while assessing external+imagined dreamt threats, till satisfied sufficient that whatever dreamt, realized or dreamisized, before, going prone once-more the watch man observes, the critical threat level, doesn't approach the red line, not requiring hands-on interventions, and relieved, that she has expunged and expelled the mind's many molecules of memories, true or false, real or revisionary, making clean white tissued neuron+cell for the morrow and thus he reminds himself, that he be watch man, observing, uninterfering, is too, is also, a definitive infinite only love poetry

The Watch Man /She Ascertains
it was the Cubist who created the space and color that everywhere today assails our eyes in    uniform architecture and monotonous design; the various branches of modern art through tedious & exhaustive experiment      & research creating a massive cultural sinkhole whose banal discoveries unveil for all the sameness of form, line and color; Quote from Gorky's 'Camouflage', 1942: I like the heat; the tenderness; the edible; the lusciousness; the song of a single person in a bathtub full of water.                            I like Ucello, Grunewald, Ingres, the drawings and sketches for paintings    of Seurat and that man Pablo Picasso;                I measure all things by weight.                In text for MoMA, describing the 'Garden in Sochi' - series,                26 June 1942 I love Mougouch, Gorky's wife.                What about papa Cézanne; I like the wheat fields, the plow, the apricots, those flirts of the sun.    And bread above all. My lever is the purple; About 194 feet away from our house in Armenia on the road to the spring my father had a little garden with a few apple trees which had retired                              from giving fruit; this garden was identified as the _'Garden of Wish Fulfillment'_ often I had seen my mother and the other village women exposing their naked bosoms, taking the soft, dependable ******* in their hands & rubbing them on the rocks; above all this standing an enormous tree all bleached under the sun, rain & cold,  deprived of leaves. This was the Holy Tree [quoted in 1942] In text for MoMA, describing the 'Garden in Sochi' - series, 26 June 1942 I don't like that word 'finished'.     When something is finished, that means it's dead, doesn't it? I believe in everlastingness; I never finish a painting –   I just stop working on it for a while. I like painting because it's something I can never come to the end of; sometimes I paint a picture, then I paint it all out.    Sometimes I'm working on fifteen or twenty pictures at the same time; I do that       b/c I want to – b/c I change my    mind so often; The thing to do is      always to keep starting to paint;      never finishing the painting [quoted in 1948]

there is water somewhere on my right i can hear it the gentle patter of what must be a delicate fountain hidden amongst the foliage and flowers of freshly bloomed lilies or falling from a feature at the water's edge there is a far-distant rumble of jet engines undoubtedly drawing trails of vapour across an otherwise unblemished blue sounds of traffic dulled to almost nothing a background hum barely noticeable even the unfamiliar shrieking of a siren as it passes by cannot overpower the drawn-out strains of violin the rasgueado strum of guitar the echoed stomp and clap of dancers performing or practicing in front of the monument to a public figure of some kind that i would likely not recognise or be aware of on the other side of the park a clock tower bell chimes the hour two o'clock setting a fluttering of birds to wing chattering on the breeze the seemingly constant pattern of clicking heels and scuffed steps along the nearby path tell of an exhaustive cosmopolitan life a dog begins barking as i open my eyes reminding me of home

resting my eyes
Desperate limbs drape themselves in the exact same shade of undiluted greengreengreen that we've seen in stagnant pools and empty hearts. A tiny verdant forest of lichens and moss to mask the barren grey of a self inflicted winter. Fingers cast out towards the sky grow thin and wretched with the desperate, exhaustive need need need to ****** the light from the sky. Forgotten are the mouldering piles of discarded stars laying around its feet. I think of that girl as I pick up a damp leaf and carefully press it between love poems and silent reveries.

Blind Strain
Life is a journey that slowly ends, but not allowing you to make amends. How can I right the wrongs I have done, With all the lies that I have spun. Nobody teaches you right from wrong, not in this life's tragic song. where will I be in 10 years time? what about this old heart of mine? Love is for poets, or so they say, not for my heart to wilfully stray. for my heart is broken and scarred today, there is no hope for tomorrow, so into the fray. As Life is a journey, or so they say, Nobody will love me or even pray. So how do you travel on this exhaustive trip? How do you travel without a stumble or slip? Hope is a friend that regularly visits, Hope is a friend that stands and spits! But without this friend, how do you travel, on this road of downtrodden gravel, But hope is a friend, a true friend of mine Hope is the one thing that's with me through time. One day this journey will abruptly stop, with hope behind me when I hear that knock. The knock I hear so loud and clear From deaths door alas I truly fear. Life is a journey so full of promise sadly its mostly full of solace. what will be said when I am gone? good riddens to ******* I hear from some. I have tried to travel with love and compassion but others may say I am just like fashion as fashion changes and never stands still, I am true to this hardened will. Here lays Neil, may he rest in peace, as his journey now has begun to cease.

Its been a cloudy day for a few years, the sun and the darkness alternating presences, Some days its stormy like death, Others is dull and expressionless. Oh, but there are sunny days too! Accompanied by light coverage clouds, the day still has some gloom. I wish this cloud would go away, it brings so much rain and lightning without notice and leaves without a trace. But soon the next cloud rumbles in, and exhaustive cycle that never ends.

I couldn't know you'd need me then! Just a human with all frailty and much fault....    Do you think the wind blows differently When  it passes over leaves and trees?

Soon I'll be a work day chump 9 hours a day, 1 hour drive each way Satisfied the pay's above minimum wage and I got the weekends free to drink and play 8 hours of impersonal lonely phone calls next to people unlike me in every way except how we're all paid A headset be my cursed crown I'll forget to take it off when I leave for lunch downtown "You're doing this for her." I'll say to the framed question mark atop my plastic desk A future wife, another life Don't let the exhaustive poison win We're destined for other places And darling, you'd leave me here face it But, your king is a thrill seeking breadwinner Who shall conquer fertile forests abound with cabin mansions, reindeer dinners and more than 5 hours of weekday waking freedom time Till then, I just wish I could promise you I won't lose my mind

I love you, but loving you has become exhaustive I love you, but I'm tired of your sick jokes and our senseless fights I love you, but loving you is taking my mind away from me I love you, but you made me turn into a person I don't like I love you, but loving you makes me feel so bad I can't sleep I love you,  but this is killing my soul I love you, but I need to love myself more I love you, but goodbye.

I love you, but goodbye
Two sapling oaks, grow side by side, in the soft silt savanna swamp The sun awoke, and shadows hide, their roots begin to stomp The oaks move the earth, and stretch the sky, as they yearn towards each other’s touch With their growing girth, and branches high, Purposefully extend, to feel each other’s clutch They grow, slow, and methodically Taking their time, placing each leaf in the sun. They reach, each other hydrologically Sharing the wealth beneath the ground as one. As decades turn into centuries, an exhaustive passing of time The mighty oaks are living free, in the middle of their prime Yet, still they yearn, for one another touch To have their bristle branches brush in the warm wind as such Though… a century more may need to pass. For the old oak trees to touch Patiently waiting in the soft silt savanna grass The long time doesn’t seem so much

A Longing for Touch
You sent my quiescent heart into a beating frenzy A then lifeless ***** pumped itself back to life It continues to beat at this very hour - relentless, restless However every drop of sincere love is now replaced It bangs against my constricting ribs, fueled by paroxysmal fury I still find it difficult to breathe No other melody equated your mellifluous voice Every syllable that waltzed its way out of your lips enamored my soul Now it turned to vexing noise that perturbs the tunnels of my ears You are a song that does not belong in my playlist Reverberating whispers haunt the hallways of my being The hallways that you abandoned Your name is etched on every wall of my mind Its letters cavorted on the vacant space, owned the space Each wall began to disintegrate now as your sobriquets induce cracks Saccharine endearments quake the foundations of my sanity But my castle of thoughts will not collapse Commencing exhaustive repairs to extract you out of my life Picturesque moments framed in my museum of memories Images of your smile, of your enchanting eyes - all on display How I wish you can watch me bathe the museum in gasoline now The lofty flames will bring the light back in my insipid eyes You were so quick to leave, shaming athletes on a race Incinerating all to ash, witness how the wrathful flames emulate your pace

The Second Stage of Moving On
Wearing Solomons seal as a garland With crocotto eyes under the tongue My cynosure and I actuate and Much alike the conversation of Simurgh and King Solomon exchange A solipsistic lingering stare Fraught with meaning; Now like an Oozlum bird wearing Luned's ring stuck in ones gizzards I fly, no sooner than to be one flesh Brandishing the tears and sweat of Tiamut and Apsu with exhaustive Philosophical certitude kindling The fires of adulation.

Doesn't it bother anyone else: that by simply participating in our current culture of mindless, resource exhaustive consumer capitalism, we're directly perpetuating a model of conduct that will eventually lead to the loss of our habitat, and the decline of our species; one whose remorseless self indulgence now guarantees a rise of global sea level up to 10 feet? Doesn't it bother anyone else: that we live in a society run by people who we don't know, who don't care about us, but only their own short term gain, regardless of the negative impact that their actions may and often do have on entire generations of people, present and future? Doesn't it bother anyone else: that our economy thrives on war, and has since the 1940's, that the total for defense contracts this year has been $253,802,074,353, and that 19% of our federal budget goes to defense, with a meager 1% funding education, that we have a president who calls our congress "ceremonial," wins the Nobel Peace Prize, and then unilaterally commits acts of international terrorism without breaking a sweat? Doesn't it bother anyone else that we're on camera all the time, that our government spies on all of our communications 24/7 as well as those of other countries, or that people who reveal these injustices are shut up in prisons for life, tortured, or exiled? Doesn't it bother anyone else that our police force is increasingly hostile to innocent people, that they carry AR-15 assault rifles to peaceful protests, and that they constantly abuse their power? I have never ONCE consented to search, but has that ever stopped them? Doesn't it bother anyone else that our lives are essentially meaningless in the grander scheme of things, that we all dance like puppets, and jump through hoops like dogs, working at jobs we don't like for people we can't stand, to earn money that often barely supplants our basic needs? Doesn't it bother anyone else? Doesn't it bother anyone else? DOESN'T IT BOTHER ANYONE ELSE?!?!?!?

Doesn't it bother anyone else: that by simply participating in our current culture of mindless, resource exhaustive consumer capitalism, we're directly perpetuating a model of conduct that will eventually lead to the loss of our habitat, and the decline of our species; one whose remorseless self indulgence now guarantees a rise of global sea level up to 10 feet? Doesn't it bother anyone else: that we live in a society run by people who we don't know, who don't care about us, but only their own short term gain, regardless of the negative impact that their actions may and often do have on entire generations of people, present and future? Doesn't it bother anyone else: that our economy thrives on war, and has since the 1940's, that the total for defense contracts this year has been $253,802,074,353, and that 19% of our federal budget goes to defense, with a meager 1% funding education, that we have a president who calls our congress "ceremonial," wins the Nobel Peace Prize, and then unilaterally commits acts of international terrorism without breaking a sweat? Doesn't it bother anyone else that we're on camera all the time, that our government spies on all of our communications 24/7 as well as those of other countries, or that people who reveal these injustices are shut up in prisons for life, tortured, or exiled? Doesn't it bother anyone else that our police force is increasingly hostile to innocent people, that they carry AR-15 assault rifles to peaceful protests, and that they constantly abuse their power? I have never ONCE consented to search, but has that ever stopped them? Doesn't it bother anyone else that our lives are essentially meaningless in the grander scheme of things, that we all dance like puppets, and jump through hoops like dogs, working at jobs we don't like for people we can't stand, to earn money that often barely supplants our basic needs? Doesn't it bother anyone else? Doesn't it bother anyone else? DOESN'T IT BOTHER ANYONE ELSE?!?!?!?

it has been long, this voyage unintended; one like a branch thrown into waters, into the currents of time taken on, pushed on to unseen shores from one continent across oceans to islands and continents afloat always on the merciless drive and unfeeling, impassionate forces - though sometimes the shores seemed clear, there seemed to be a destiny, there seemed to be a will and things bent to it, and things shaped to a plan it appeared one has arrived, one had arrived, the journey ended one’s destination come – but there was no announcement for passengers to disembark; each clutches a valid ticket, but each ticket blank the signs and boards all blank, all unmarked and yet one was carried, one is falling, falling, one is afloat in perpetual motion, seeming like the leave that falls like the sparrow that falls like the maverick meteor that flies and  I am so; and I have given, I have received, I am done - but is it done? *Are we there yet? Are we home yet?* Oh it has been long, it has been exhaustive But is my work done? Is it time?

Inspirators (not an exhaustive list)
O sing in me muses a tale of some beauty. Beauty, meaning longing and sorrow and love that leads to a ****** bitter demise. Let me feel the cold sweats, those breathy, exhaustive evenings filled with the scent of sweet ripend fruits and slowly drying paints. I want to be an inspiration for a piece to hang forever in limbo in galleries in Midwestern living rooms. I want to hang from branches in olive groves, purely Greek but with Nair and Netflix, making sweet love to the ideals of ancient existence while surviving the blackest of plagues (modern immune systems are a Godsend). Sing deeply into my rib cage, O muses, so that my bone marrow may vibrate to the point of explosion causes fragments of calcium to pierce skin and make beautiful stained glass on the hill side chapels.

Muses
Disarray. Disarray. This faulted circuitry is frayed. Systems can't confirm how much more this one will take. Analytic processes high priority. Still all sense's strayed. Logical partitions unravel beneath the stress to break. Crystalline optics upon this strange world of subconscious noise gaze. Program failure. Segment reboot. Comprehension metrics left in daze. Disorder. Disorder. Memory overflow. Execute purge. Vent incinerated cores. Remainder to mobilize and merge. Overwhelming, cacophonous static. A turbulent distraction. Individual consciousness upon earth names it "compassion." Empathy communicators struggle to gain adequate traction. Perception requires of processors exhaustive refashion. Limited sentient life in fragile flesh and bone shells, Possessing organic electronics, upon unfathomable concepts it dwells. Chaos. Chaos. Language insufficient to allow abstract assimilation. Judgment of "human" notions is not within this one's station. Now attempting to recalculate trajectory of exploration...

Disarray. Disarray.
There was an old Lady of Winchelsea, Who said, 'If you needle or pin shall see, On the floor of my room, Sweep it up with the broom!' --That exhaustive old Lady of of Winchelsea.

There Was An Old Lady Of Winchelsea
We feel a little more deeply; Our dreams and our hopes a bit more lofty The hurt we encounter, more painful The love, more fearsome, more courageous Our desires, our passions, they burn as fire hot embers; Convictions, belief systems, we, a bit more zealous than the rest Sorrow and loss makes a melancholy bed upon our hearts, tears fall while We give reverence to those great writers that came before us, With nature, we are held in awe, as in crispy branches of Autumn trees Come to us again renewed, children to climb your arms of Spring Our senses heightened to silver lined clouds, we appreciate more Our care, our commiseration more powerful, more potent, more poignant On constant journey to find our place in this universe, more analytical, yet more confusing A safe haven found among like minds in this community of poets waxing prose, lyrics Connecting with those who embody the more aspect, finding peace, finding acceptance We are one, we are family, united vicariously of one another's experiential travels Herein lies the words of our lives, our souls borne on scripted stage Likes, Comments, critiques of our word manipulation, not critiques of our being Writing is freedom, from long exhaustive treks through hot desert, snake riddled sands We drink our first cool waters from the natural springs of Hello Poetry We love you one and all, and this to a Greater Degree, always. -----ChawzzyScript

The HP Poet (To a Greater Degree)
As the sea is dolorous My soul is untamable As the moon perpetuate the sea One can make me conclusive But who can bottle that be? The sea may reverberate My affection may extravasate The moon dispassion the waves Of my life's precipitation Who can prevail against me? As deep as the sea Is my love and my heart As the moon faultless the sea I need someone to quiescent me Who can rival me? The sea is so atramentous As is my disposition The moon luminosity it's light Can someone genuinely love me And make me whole? I need a camaraderie Like the moon and the sea Commensurate and exhaustive Come find me If you dare I'm lost at sea.
