"exudes" poems
It seemed the space between us became torn and Profoundly distanced.................... Jamming bony knuckles and spread eagled fingers, Lying their mapped out journey.....direction on point patrol.... Adorned by silver decoration, delighting in their skinned habitat Shafted, deceit punching the recipient of the poison digits Prodding and pushing their intent....dare you contradict The intended carved out dose of punishment, Risk and Safety......not yours and never would be; stooped Down under the assailing bony palmed attachements That delivered penetrating power, cupped around Your arm til it became discoloured, pressure points Backed you into a corner, up against the grain of the Brick wall, cold and damp, the odour reaching And scolding your nostrils with its stale internal vows Refuse, stretching and protruding its foul remnents An earlier life, when you were not under threat fades Your very existance in jeopardy, your eyes pleaded for Normality, willing someone to hear your silence, grip you Tightly, not with malice, but with bravery and valour Right now you need that shining knight, that white Horse galloping down the blind alleyway, yet you Know that won't happen for you're already sinking To the floor, the blow comes sharp and stings, warmth Exudes and trickles a path downwards, leaving your Body, finding the cold concrete beneath you, travelling Outwards................

Wrong place.....wrong time
*in the midst of an emerald slumbering forest laced with pungent scents of jaded wood a burgundy blushed tail of a chestnut hued fox scurries as copper sunbeams part the day a hospital lumes starkly nearby its aura exudes hints of melancholy commingled with faint impressions of halcyon futures not yet lived at neighboring dartmouth a student sprinting to class drops his crimson colored backpack the prospect of cancer far from his budding consciousness my beloved sits patiently pondering pensively his last chemo treatment elusion of death not far from his mind i feign to fend off future catastrophes watching letters scramble across my screen earnestly writing in a desperate attempt to be with him forevermore an aquamarine hummingbird drenched in tranquility senses the inverse its amber tipped wings stand seemingly stationary while it steals a quick glance through the window curious at chemical infusions meant to heal my beloved walks out of the austere building with rose colored glasses i feel that we’ll whirl on the tips of gilded stardust dancing with another chance to fly ©2016janetaylor

last trip to chemo
Beside a dusty fan droops languid veins whose movement barely churns up tarnished grime, as lazy sun exudes through poisoned panes injected with the film of listless time. A gentle sigh is exhaled without will for emptiness of long forgotten mind. Eyes shudder closed to desolation's shrill of conscious much too free and so, confined. Revolting spittle dribbles down a chin with absolutely nothing left to do. To entertain and keep from going thin you spy on friends who in turn spy on you. Alas! For boredom is the finite trait of great mankind's insufferable fate.

Boredom
dear stereotypical people, you make me sick. i mean, who are you to tell me what i can and can't do because i don't have a **** why do you think that this is a rap? is it because i'm black? because i live on an island, i must be wild and uncouth? and whenever i speak my mind, i'm another rebellious youth? dear stereotypical people, you see my glasses and call me a nerd? and make fun of me because I know of words you've never heard? oh i'm sorry, that i took my education seriously. and i swear if another person says 'girl you're so tall, you have to play ball.' i'm gonna run head first into a gaddamn wall. dear stereotypical people, why do you trust the white man in a suit but not the black man in the hoodie? is it because he looks cleans and exudes goodie goodie? dear stereotypical people, please mind your business which i'm pretty sure doesn't include how that teenage mom and her child are living. dear stereotypical people, why do women that are open about *** make you wanna run away? i mean, i'm pretty sure it shouldn't matter what she does with her body unless she's your wife my God, why can't y'all let people live their lives? dear straight men that lust over gay women, NO WE DONT WANT TO ********* WITH YOU **** it, we like the same thing you do! dear people of the world, yes I live in the Bahamas no I do not live in a hut, eat coconuts and go on the beach every day. dear stereotypical people, i promise i don't hate you i do hate how you look down upon people that live differently from you, that see differently from you, that think differently from you. i would hope that you know that this world does not revolve around you, no one will stop being who they are because of you. don't get me wrong, some people hurt because of what you do. just think about how you would feel if it were you. my prayer is only that you think before you say. and maybe one day, you'll all see the error in your ways.

#9 | 31 Poems for August 2016 She unapologetically loves each and every crevice of her canvas. Each part regally resonates to the woman who birthed her. Each part elegantly exudes the exuberance of its own beauty. The curves on her body are more than just her dress or jean size. More than the heads of men which turn as she walks down the street. Her curves are her heritage – a beautiful sign of where home is. Through pain she found love and through love she found herself. We meet in the pages of our story where the ink intimately holds us together. These words I write become intertwined in the veins of our loving hearts. In the rain of her presence, my words will always form a rainbow. I can never get enough of her love; I’m always left yearning for more. In a world ravaged by cold wars, we both know what we’re fighting for. She has never spent a day letting the world turn her starry sky into a ceiling. She wears her crown proudly and embraces the queen that she is. The curves on her body are more than just her dress or jean size. More than the whistles which dissipate the silence as she enters the room. Her curves are her heritage – a beautiful sign of where home is. The world is my canvas and I hope this African queen will always be my muse.

Canvas
The solitude of when two hands meet garners thoughts of warmth and want for needs unspoken I miss the days when simplicity was as common as the delicate exhale shared when two lips release from one a other To gaze through sultry windows of the soul, soft yet weary with fervent witness, beckons notions of wanderlust to a place that shines brighter than any I've ever seen I watch, bound by valor for not seeking more through presumptuous ineptitude; bewildered by the plight you've been mired by, I wince at the thought of harm coming to you Your trust exudes a powerful purpose; wrought from the ashes of all that have claimed to impose before, I succumb to the surfeit of such a staggering meaning in that gift I hold myself in bated breath for the day you would ever need my heart for your own, but stay guided to be here in spirit, ever more Although my basic wishes be forlorn, in somber muse I find great purpose to be a part of this grand fate bestowed upon me You are all I've ever sought; and through disbelief, I am remiss of all that's mired me before If only, one day, perhaps we could be more..

Right now, loving you feels the way my toes do when stepping on pebbles (the stones they put on your back in physical therapy) or mining ore - supposed to be cold, but extremely hot to touch. A copper meadow shimmy into a tree so you can look up my dress and catch me like gold armor when I tumble, tumble. One defense, two defense, three defense, four worms with spines as soft as hair try to spindle cobwebs where we skip and hopscotch skeletons dunk our heads in some sea but pickaxes make air pockets, iron is a pillow for us to sleep. The lights cease when you leave no longer nearby is the helmet that exudes site - I think I could mine meteorite from your soul, there’s only demonite in my own. Let’s build a house with it then wait for the bad men to leave, it is night again perhaps they shall be burned by my evil. Shrouded in wood, tucked into a golden chest the walls are a deep purple amethyst, aubergine, build our ceiling some citrine - bunnies swallow the window frame and I cry because somehow it is my fault, I try to jump but I fall. And you open the door, you let in some monsters, how I hate you for a moment. But no bad man can get you even ones who have skin sunken like a dead spider pull out an archery kit seventy-seven arrows, I put them all in hearts leaving one special hook for you Cupid gave to me. We make a great team demonite meteorite silver copper topaz gold-tipped and sterling the vultures listen in jealously knowing this is what love can feel like right now.

oppression reigns from above unseen hellfire a fallacy can't be seen so it is not there? oppression exudes from the ground translucent, sticky rise up and fight! but always stuck sinking down while the tar fills open mouths oppression is ingrained in hearts blinded by the masses ******* the lifeblood from freely flowing veins oppression is a paradox making everything too simple, too complex too small, too big too easy, too hard closing in on both sides follow the light at the end of expression lest you be crushed

I am a miner. The light burns blue. Waxy stalactites Drip and thicken, tears The earthen womb Exudes from its dead boredom. Black bat airs Wrap me, raggy shawls, Cold homicides. They weld to me like plums. Old cave of calcium Icicles, old echoer. Even the newts are white, Those holy Joes. And the fish, the fish---- Christ! They are panes of ice, A vice of knives, A piranha Religion, drinking Its first communion out of my live toes. The candle Gulps and recovers its small altitude, Its yellows hearten. O love, how did you get here? O embryo Remembering, even in sleep, Your crossed position. The blood blooms clean In you, ruby. The pain You wake to is not yours. Love, love, I have hung our cave with roses. With soft rugs---- The last of Victoriana. Let the stars Plummet to their dark address, Let the mercuric Atoms that ******* drip Into the terrible well, You are the one Solid the spaces lean on, envious. You are the baby in the barn.

It was my best friend who asked me what I'd choose to be in my next incarnation. Honestly, she caught me completely off guard, intellectually dumbfounded by a prospect I'd never considered, nor felt I deserved. That night I wracked my brain searching for a suitable chakra from which to derive an answer. I know she believes everything is renewed, so, deferring to her convictions, I chose a jaguar, as suitable for my solitary way. She's always had a knack for surprising my existence, deflecting the metaphysical, steering for spiritual shores. I recognize this power she exudes, though she dismisses me. The jaguar I'm evolving divinely subsumes her virtues, is cognizant of the heroine from Mumbai ashrams. I'd like to tell you I hear rumblings in the sky, that there's a certain path beneath my feet, but my destiny eludes all outward signs, striving for that inner love that has no name.

Ontology for a Nameless Tao
Death patiently files his nails And smokes a casual cigarette Grinning and eyeless He says so calmly "Catch you later Brave little dreamer" Despite such brittle certainty Men and women build Despite such small mortality Every space is filled In the midst of death's destruction Men and women build again Fear, like a cringing bowel Exudes an acrid stench And whimpers and whines Simpers and cries "Don't you dare Don't you ever dare" Despite this clinging dread Some will need to dare Despite the bursting head Dreams insist on birth In the midst of our stupidities Something wondrous strives                                     By Phil Roberts

DESPITE
Due to popular belief. I believe that certain things are due to happen naturally. Like all other things it's bound to grow. This thing, love. We are due to become obese to this organic, homegrown feeling. The initial look that begins as taste. Naturally we are starved. Aroused by the scent that lures us close. This thing, love. One thing we must learn is self control. To not over indulge in the primary reason it exists. To selfishly take because it's there. This thing, love. Effort exudes as it becomes habit. Being placed at a table readily available for what portion comes next. This need becomes confused with want. To please others before our need in unselfish manner. A straight forward response to habit. The rising availability of also being taken for granted. The insurmountable outline that defines lust. Our intake becomes higher attempting to justify the difference. Thus we become lazy. Reacting in ways we normally wouldn't. This thing, love. This scent acts as incentive,  instantly attracted by which we over indulge. Searching for this thing, love. It's a reasonable thing. Knowing when to reach. When to pull. When to give and sacrifice. Almost always all of these happen, learning self control, vocalizing when we've had our fill. Else we will continue to eat until there is nothing left. Grown obese. This thing, love

This Thing, Love
I sometimes I get this feeing as though I was being forced into a meat grinder. Urged to remove my fat only to spit out chunks of blood and bone instead. The cracking, clicking snaps of marrow that exudes from it like wastage. The fat engorging through the tiny weeping holes. All I can see is the repetitive nature of damage leaking from this abstraction and I feel it in my flesh. Crawling like tiny bugs, entrapping themselves and eroding their bodies into the hair on my skin. Uncultivated; I have fallen into the funnel hooked up to the grinder and I feel its body churn me. It thrusts its cold metal exterior against my lean limbs; ticking. I try to form a response when all the while this loud heavy machine is echoing against the walls, making my voice utterly meaningless. Like ground beef I am belched out only to be covered in a plastic film that pushes all the oxygen from it. I am stuck in this silhouette, shaped as a slab of meat.

Slab of meat
She's a queen Regal and gorgeous She's bright as whisky, serene as earl grey She's got lips of fire And a body That cost 4 kings their kingdom. She exudes an intoxicating perfume Her lashes are fans upon her golden cheek Her hair is a halo of the purest gold She walks with the fluidity of unfurling silk, Her voice is blue velvet And jewels fall from her mouth as she talks I'm A bit homely And lost like an unlabeled envelope And frightened like a child in the dark I'm a full sponge, and must sometimes weep a little My crown is ill-fitting My eyes are weird elfin lights My heart is as some distant, famine-struck land I'm a ruffled little bird And listening to me speak is like watching an unrehearsed play We are both soldiers Waging the same vicious war And unfortunately This is a world In which only the swift and strong prevail

…1966…Malaysia… 1 I’m on my scooter back home to my village after work in town and it rains and I take a short-cut people have told me about; and along the way at a bus-stop shed I see in the moonlight a woman waving at me I stop and she says: “Please give me a ride and drop me home; I’ve missed the bus… Just the first house on the right straight down this track…” 2 I see her face and her form - O She’s beautiful and I offer her my jacket and she sits behind me and I ask her for her name and she tells me it is Salma; it’s a beautiful name and I love the fragrance she exudes so close and sometimes, as we ride down the dirt-track, her body brushes ever so lightly against my back 3 I stop at the shed that is her house It is still raining and Salma jumps off the scooter and with a wave she runs into her home I am happy – she has my jacket she is beautiful and I know her home and I have a reason to call on her the next day… 4 It’s Sunday the next morning and I ride to Salma’s house and an old woman opens the door and she listens to my tale and she is shocked I’d want to see Salma and she takes me into her small home and she shows me Salma’s photograph on the wall and she asks: “Is that her you saw?” and I nod shyly and the old woman cries and she says: “I’m Salma’s mother; Salma died three years ago…” 5 And Salma’s mother takes me behind the house and there behind the trees she shows me Salma’s grave and there on the grave is my jacket… “She died three years ago,” the woman cries.. I run; I run… and I ride my scooter like crazy; I don’t want my jacket back… and I’ll never ride this way again…

Softly treads winter, Her quick bear hug exudes lust, On hold for an year!

Winter’s bear hug
This heaviness, a stone in the chest, a brooding passion flower, fully at bloom, at moonlit night- emits the distinct scent of the tormentor of my heart, an intoxicating accent it exudes-- which cages my mind. Lust is its subtext. Lungs are bottled up with a mix of her pheromones, signature perfume and the musky scent of her sweat, If a girl, with that intensity gets in to the system, mixes in blood, it's excruciating pain, is a bane, and an insane ecstatic bliss, same time! This isn't animal instinct, I know, didn't she bare her mind though on the sly, in words that has many facets, like a diamond? No, still not sure, feels like an idiot, (Wasn't she quite an artist, playing with my heart? But I am totally her's, can't help it, from those moments, which refuses to leave me in peace) A longing that won't let me take her off from  my mind's GPS. Oh! now, shut both eyes and imagine her undress in slow moves, her lush, chiselled form, sends me waves of fragance, I am on the verge of collapse... Then- suddenly the phone rings, she complains a heaviness of heart, ***** thoughts that- refuse to go to sleep. "What would you do for this?" she  anxiously whispers, "Hey, you are the only doctor, I can lay my hands on, to keep this malady at bay, I badly need you near here, **Is it true? Am I falling in love with you?"**

Am I falling In Love with you?
i have been in deep contemplation these past few days, trying to come up with reasons for what I’m feeling — but there isn’t anything in particular, maybe i just like seeing you smile, hearing your contentment in laughters, and the tinge of annoyance that your stern voice exudes, or it could just be you, in its simplest forn. i miss you, i miss you, i miss you maybe if i start repeating it over and over again, it’ll lose its meaning … but for now, i wait in longing, hoping that maybe one day, you’ll feel the same

messages i refuse to send at two in the morning
Evolution complete: I am faceless. That, once recognizable, Is disfigured and ugly; And exudes the smell Of gangrenous life. Eyes of strangers, friends, Horrified by my transformation, Look beyond, toward safety. My stare will consume them, And labor them, Into my hollow. It is my soul, Pure and discontent, That cries for emancipation And deliverance. It is the cyclones Of failures echoing, Again and again, Abrading my use, Paring my value. The dust in my palms, Is the former me; And even the breaths Of God Cannot reconstitute This undead. I resign, To the solitary Choice That remains: To free the soul From its heinous captor; To bait tranquility With selfless mercy Until the final drop Dries unnoticed.

Unnoticed
I saw the rest of my kind scour against the streets, hands calloused-laden, wizened by erratic explosions – nondescript music analogous to silence; terse sleep stiff in wind, homes filled with tension, arrow-headed men quiver through the busy streets as tatterdemalion as stray dogs. inverted triangle, sidereal vertigo, mutilated rose and the beheaded tulip. the ambiguous spiral of the downcast climb. I see all men maddened by wine over the rooftops. choking in dank light – the night exudes its flayed machinery. an empty bottle of whiskey and a body stripped of skin melded with fright raised higher than the maladroit sky. I, whose name is but an algorithm of formlessness. I, whose silence is but the contemplation of stone. I, whose voice toboggans like a tender ramshackle of incantations filling tubercular pockets with spare hope yet none are we but only poorer. whose fingers are but tired girls tousling in bed lacquered by sunsets – whose nails are paler than a ****** of moonlight, whose homes are inflamed hemmed in by petticoats, whose eyes set affixed to no avatars in juxtaposition of parks falling madly in love with everything that glints.

For The Kindred
His name is ingrained into the fabric of our flag, yes, the one you see there, waving in the December air, with waves that glisten not from sun but from wind, through the water turned frozen they fail to despair, "My, oh, my, it's Washington Crossing the Delaware!" Yet an intrinsic sense of nationalistic pride exudes from the ink that tattoos this canvas, the genesis of a nation they had taken for their own; though, as truth becomes told, our pride seems to fold, and the ink in the portrait begins to fade in color. Still, on he trekked, though frigid and cold, as hills bleached in snow began to unfold potential Hessian retreats scattered across the beach, a visualization of a battle bounding to unfold, a strategist adept in war, in honor he was cloaked, too determined to fail now. But here we sit, in contemplation and wonder, pondering the juxtaposition of privilege and patriotism -- how deceitful corruption now riddles those in charge, empty promises as true as the navy blue of the oils that stain this worn, cherished canvas. Its memory lives on in the minds of many made here: those of us who bleed the good ol' red, white, and blue, and those of us who hide from the ones who tattoo their whispered words into the portrait of our being. Our quilted nation is laced with crimson, a tapestry of history hidden from the young; woven threads of variability outline the margins, a picturesque vision of what could be; a voice speaks, "Perhaps our future is just across the Delaware!"

There is a weight that is chained to our fractured heart. It is filled by our worst failures and emptied by our greatest triumphs. We wish nothing more than to be rid of this cursed pendulum, that swings to and fro as it deepens the fissures in our heart to reach our very soul. All around us we see those whose hearts are joined with a kindred, like the morning rays in the night sky. And the pendulum continues to swing. We see their faces smiling, as their hearts beat in perfect harmony, a symphony of resonance with complexity and depth. All the while our heart exudes a lonely note, sharp and unanswered. And the pendulum continues to swing. Our efforts to remove it have been in vain. Our triumphs are few, and our defeats plenty, and with it, its burden grows. And the pendulum continues to swing.
