"finders" poems
We keep coming together, you killing me, it's a dead heat. *** so good, we can hardly speak. Climbing on top, she's reaching her peak. Skirt no ******* she hide, I seek. Ready or not, here she **** and I practice what I preach. Locked myself inside her, finders keep. If the meek inherits her world, I guess that makes me weak.

Quickie
Even lions have the strongest hearts But they still fall weak to lionesses, A man’s heart can tighten in all parts It only takes a ´touch´ to bring him to pieces When a man falls weak to his world A part of him has leaped over a wall The tricky phase is to retrieve his part Searching the world with an incomplete heart, The finder of his heart is always his near-God But finders only leave men in a melting *** Men are known to be tearless They don’t cry and in pain they remain fearless, Men are fragile and sensitive Listen to him and see the world in his perspective, Men will live on ‘til the last survivor Because men are forever…

A Man’s Heart
The wind diverges the horizon boughs into view finders of royal blue. The flicker of the blue beyond washes to brown sticks fettered with dry leaves. Oh what cadence ensues, From a bent bough and a Sifting wind? If that limb but a will, And that breeze but a pulse, Harmony would hide in the Heartbeat of an eternal summer. Yet eternity suffers sterile sadness, And cadence breeds a timid tempo Of hollow trees against a grey sky. So speak the world in discord, Unveil blue skies from cacophonous trees of green, And push the wind in hurricanes. As wind and bough dance in perfect imbalance, I admire the flicker of their countenance.

An Ode to Uncertainty
As the minutes drift into hours I stare at the flowers That died the day you left. And they say keepers win in the war of finders, But I'm not so sure. Cos, the reminders Of what used to be. Have soured. And I try and devour Memories, Spaces, faces, places That we shared. And I choke on some, and others slide down. -- And I wander if I even cross your mind, my love And do you remember the time You said that you'd always be mine And that forever was too short a time For you and I. Those lies you spun, like a spiders web, Took place, built homes Inside my head And I didn't try to relocate Because all I could do was appreciate That someone finally cared. And those memories that we shared, Those faces, spaces and places They're all so vivid. I can smell the scent of your sweet perfume, and feel the water Splash When we went down that log floom And we both held on so tight, We were determined not to let eachother go. With all our might. So what happened, my love? What changed inside that beautiful frame of yours What's the reason you began to close  all of those doors And lock me out. Cos it's strange to be a stranger And I don't like the danger That comes with Not knowing who I am, or you were. And the uncertainty of who we were together. Cos the forever we promised Has been and gone, and call me crazy But I expected to hold on to it A little longer. I thought we were stronger. Your honey gold hair hung Down over your face As you told me about these places and spaces that we shared Could be no more My world crashed and burned And fizzled out And I found new ammunition To tear myself apart To pull to pieces My damaged heart. And once I was done I hung the picture frame You threw onto the floor On a sign on the doors, Saying keep out. And my barriers went up But my walls crumbled down Tell me, Are you around, my love? Are you laughing and smiling And have you moved on... 2013 ©

The flowers fall like sweeties in the packet of my mind. The answer flows completely from the hand that stops the time. The questions that were seeking could potentially leave us blind to the poetry that's creeping to the rhythm of the times. The finders fees of finding gold are deeply grained in laws. The crawling finger grasping for the love of ***** ****** The sailor tongues are swaggering with anticipating throws, of innocent and eloquent shows of pretty hoes.

Welcome to a generation of proud people. A generation that can afford to loose a 1-3years relationship just because of I AM SORRY !!! A generation where a woman prefers to pack her bags back to her parents house rather than to say I AM SORRY!! A generation where a man prefers to loose his marriage and keep his ego. Welcome to the Generation where everyone is right. A generation that never accepts to be wrong. A generation that knows all, a generation of ignorance, a generation that prefers to argue for a year rather than spilling out I AM SORRY !!! Welcome to the Generation of fault finders. A generation that always seek to judge people, a generation that only sees the bad in others, a generation that prefers to win an argument rather than saying I AM SORRY Welcome to The Generation of Selfishness. A generation that wants people to always apologize to them, a generation of self respect, they prefer to move on rather than sort things out with their partners. A Generation that makes apology very difficult, they want people to beg and roll on the floor before the accept apology. A generation that is so full of themselves, a generation that is too big to say I AM SORRY!! This is the reason why many of us are yet to get married. Watch the news and see how many people are shooting, poisoning and stabbing their partners to death, marriage has now become a slaughter ground all because of I AM SORRY !!! Can you do me a favour? Pls pronounce "I AM SORRY" how did u feel when you pronounced it? Did your name change? Did your skin colour change? Did your bank credit you when you said it? Did your blood reduce when you said it? Sorry did you contact corona virus when you said it!!! Hmm so why is it that you prefer to loose that beautiful Lady because of pride? Why is it that you prefer to loose that handsome Man because of pride? Pride goes before a fall, some of US have lost OUR real spouses because of I AM SORRY.

By the law of Finders Keepers, you're rich. But she didn't see it that way Did she? Theft she called it. But who cares for a few plants? What are they worth? Barely anything - A mumbled apology - Your first born? Or your life. So bye bye baby. Did you hear her cry From the tower? She screamed as her hair was ripped From the weight of that Enchantress. But you never knew. You met a man once, Who spoke of a girl. He stood blinded by thorns, Blinded by her foolishness. But loved her still. Sought her still. You thought such a girl Must be priceless. Jewelled seraph you thought. Little did you realise Her worth was little more Than a few rapunzel plants.

Its not good enough for me To just sit here to watch and see You keep shakin it in front of me Like its there to be takin by me Got me losing my mind And from what I can see You got your eyes all over me The DJ dimmed down the lights It's about that time One look at you I can tell it's gonna be a long night I gotta get you alone at home I wont tell no body But the way you moving Your body wants my body So close its sweating me Break my heart and hope to die That my finders fee For playing with fire It was meant to be

Finders Fee
An illness, it plagues me It causes great misery My screams go unheard I hope Death comes to claim me *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* The Demon came one night And to me, it spoke; "Come make a pact with me, And your pain I'll turn to smoke" *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* You walked into my house So generous and kind Of how innocent you were, So innocently blind *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* The transformation completes Oh how good it feels To be free of pain and suffering The bell of liberty peals *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* A day is not long, I must start acting If I want to stay, You must be dying. *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* Alas, you have struggled, Valiantly played. But you cannot win me, The pact gives me aid. *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* Give it back? This body, I will keep They say "finders keepers" Leaving the losers to weep. *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* For a day, I said. For a day, you'll stay. But not if you die, Not if you, I slay. *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* This is the final leg, Your power abates. For all the love I've missed, Ahead, it awaits. *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* Goodbye, my dear friend You've helped me a bunch Your body stays with me And with mine you leave *You're such a good friend I know you will help me Come to my house, And help set me free* The Demon behind He waved his hand Laughed, and left When the camera panned.

I Want Your Hello, Goodbye, and everything in Between
not a place we can go to have my grandmother tell you again how my uncle was born with a tooth. where slavery just a star watched and watching and **** just a rainbow bent to its work. where babies are shaken like hollow gifts and we want people and the emptiness of people put to death. where grey flutes billow. where milk is in our blood and ghost letting. where hope is ugly but don’t tell it. where fathers disappear into the dashboards of looted trucks taking with them their once employed hands and taking with them the heat of those hands. where disappear is not a word we lightly loft. where envy is the work of nearby grass. where a man moves over a woman so that she is equal and equally ransacked of travel. where in a field this far away one can do finders keepers to a body scraped at by others and poked. where a pill is like a mouth but smaller. but wants a bottle. and roots at the tip of your tongue.

finders keepers
Janice helped you to gather up the loose pieces of coal on the cobbled road leading to the coal wharf off Meadow Row you watched as she put the pieces in the sack you’d brought with you as the evening mist settled upon the scene her red beret placed at an angle her hair smooth as water is this allowed? she asked looking around at the back of houses still standing after the wartime bombing finders keepers you said or so Granddad told me the other week when I saw him she gazed at you unconvinced but put in more of the black pieces you handed to her what will my gran say when she sees my blackened hands? Janice said I can’t tell her or she’ll tan my hide as she calls it you looked at her coal stained fingers the way they held and placed the coal you can wash your hands at my place you said Mum won’t mind she likes you anyway Janice looked at you her lips spreading into a smile nice to know she said maybe when we’re grown and married she’ll like me better the sky had darkened the mist heavy the moon glowing I guess so you said wondering if her gran would see it that way if she lived to see the day that should be enough coal now you said taking the sack from her blackened hands noticing the thin fingers she rubbing her hands together against the cold the dark and winter weather.

JANICE AND YOU AND GATHERING COAL,
I see us strolling along fate's street, Walking in harmony's glass slippers. We're never about how good we fit; We're our finders. We're our keepers. Neither faith nor chance, all we have; Is our rare complex; Our crazy love. Our love at first sight was too blind- To see how you and I could really be. Sight or not, you're ever on my mind. My shut eyes can still see you vividly. It was your body before your heart; I loved 'what' you were; what I saw. But thinking back to our crazy start- I don't see how I could not see it all. You've got that rare, funny laughter; The one that somehow kinda echoes. I cannot see our happily ever after,- Cuz our love's book can't ever close. You did not steal my heart complete. You made your hands its safest place. Loosing my guard was never defeat, It was the start of a worthwhile race. With us, rather than bliss, I boast of- Our unique complex; Our crazy love. You're literally a world away from me- In a much more metaphorical sense. But that only hurts when I miss you; Namely, upon each proof of existence. Our love is against odds? That's odd! We are not victims of circumstance. Not close to a goddess and a god,- We just fight hard for every chance. Its funny the things we do together. But its funnier cuz we know not why. This is quite far, but we'll go further, Cuz 'enough' is extinct to you and I. A steady pace, not in the human race; This is more like our love marathon. Had we been features on earth's face- We'd be the reason it'd not be common. We may last forever, maybe beyond it, And make it wish it would last as long. But, if we should end 'fore we re-meet, Know that our love was never wrong. We've found a fit tighter than a glove- In Our unique complex; Our crazy love. Keep Smiling

Welcome to the world of finders keepers..a place plagued with liars, cheaters, creepers, deceivers..Angel faced devils beautiful as the Mona Lisa.. Trick or treaters you get tricked they'll treat ya..a prisoner of my own mind ill be at the gate to meet ya. We're not that much different actually were quite the same, over extreme happiness I'd take the slightest pain.. Enough with the sunshine please cue the rain..It's a crying shame, straight faces behind ******** lets play the lying game.. Like yea I'm fine, trust me it's ok, there's peace in chaos and there's relief in pain.. numbed my senses and suppressed my emotions.. My tears seemed more significant as puddles on the pad rather than drops in the ocean.. I'm coastin thru memories that I thought were gone, they added the fuel to this fire guess there were here all along.. Burdened by doubt I never feel good enough, paranoid don't have to many friends wondering who I could trust.. Then I found you in this whirlwind of feeling, amazed by who you are being with you is oh so appealing.. You're stealing my dreams and mind, if you ask me you should be mine.. Take a chance or a risk or better yet just the time.. See there's fragments of me left for you in every page and every line.. These poems are my diary letters from to you, I'm done looking the search is over because there's no better than you..

Come in you're all welcome
I want to leave something When I die To show that I was here Of course I’ve got young people And my sweet lover And various keepsakes That I hold dear But This bequest must be Of poetic design As melodious as my spirit As lyrical as my mind Buried like hidden treasure For future word finders to find Small portions of me To know me by Left behind To discover After I die

This Bequest
I have become the sum of all my fears and failures The accumulation through the years, To some degree, Is on another level then most others Uninstalled the self installed blinders Hoping to stumble across some left behind life perks I didn't know this is how finders keepers works Nothing found has kept me off the ground, Barley kept me out the ground, And every moment hurts For what it's worth, I don't know what I'm worth Starting to wonder, Just internally first, But maybe this whole thing is cursed Or worse There was never a purpose of falling prey to thirst ©2024

~•§•~ Or Worse ~•§•~
I think this was the first (and only) nervous breakdown I’ve ever had. I was nineteen. The noises from the plane were terrifying enough to wake me up. My relaxed heart started racing, and I thought of a late-night bomb attack, via some middle-eastern country, which would bring war. I clutched the blankets to my chest, and expected the dooming flash of light which would instantly take my life through vaporization. After several minutes of laying tense yet catatonic in my bed, my late-night delirium began to slowly fade. Whether it was one plane or several, I know not. I just remember hearing the horrible ripping noise echo through the sky by my window and I instantly awoke. Were the planes this loud every night? Why did I never notice? Perhaps I restarted my sleep cycle and being back in level one, the loud noise frightened me. But did that mean that if these planes did indeed roar, every night, that I always slept through them? It seemed very unlikely. I cautiously checked my phone to inform myself of what time the war had started. Three-eleven a.m. How depressing. Why would an enemy attack in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep? What cowardice. Why would an enemy attack at all? Why would we have an enemy? As my paranoia faded and my fatigue crawled back, I went to the bathroom. I figured if I were to die, I wouldn’t want the finders of my body to think me gross for soiling myself with the tea I drank right before bedtime. As I sat on the toilet and released the pressure, the pressures of life invaded. I looked up to the sky-light in my bathroom and decided tonight would not be the night where I was killed while sleeping by a late-night plane of an enemy, but if it were to happen, I’d have no control whatsoever. Sadness struck me as I envisioned myself being robbed of motherhood, still and unaware at nineteen-years old. I thought again of the planes, and while they no longer seemed threatening, I wondered what caused them to rip across the sky in such force. It seemed destiny had spared me that night, but would it always? June was a non-war month anyways; I should relax, enjoy the summer and keep caution for autumn and winter. Those are war seasons, when wars began. The night was still once more, but I felt completely drained—the way one feels when descending from a cocaine-high. I straightened my blankets, rolled onto my side into a comfortable position and squeezed my eyes shut trying to hold back tears.

You will always hold a piece of me. A piece I will never get back. Voyage upon voyage unsuccessful to retrieve this missing piece of me. But no matter if I find it or not, this piece will never become me. It will never fit in the jigsaw that is my life. Edges worn down and torn from too much use, Unrecognizable after all of the abuse. Longing to fit where it once did effortlessly. I was in place, everything was fine, But somehow you managed to contort just one piece out of line. A piece that you took without even asking, But a piece I will find even if it's the last thing I do. Because that piece never belonged to you, Finders keepers losers weepers, it was still stolen. Never fully made yours yet you claimed it as your own

A little bit of *** In a canvas bag And a wallet full of notes And a piece of rag A tooth brush and comb And a letter pack And a bit of paper With a number on the back And a crisp old sheet From a writing pad Is a folded memory And a poem so sad Yet with joy in the lines That live on still While the love they were for Will no longer thrill For the cause is lost Like the canvas bag Left by the seat With no name tag How can I find That fleeting two? They won't be in Oxford They were passing through I met them in London By the cold roadside They wanted a lift So I gave them a ride They'll pass on Down Exeter way The cost of that lift Was dear to pay For now I am left With a canvas bag With a leather flap For a naming tag All covered with names That student wrote So when standing so cold At a glance he'd note The words of his subject Written thereon And his mind would warm As he pondered on The lecture from where The thought first came And the hour of the day When he wrote the name Nameless he was And his lady too Till the old bag Was sifted through Then a card Came to light With a name upon it Plain to sight And I remember The college hall Goldsmith's was The name let fall So to the English Scholar then I may return The bag again With a little bit of *** And a sad love poem I'll return them all To their former home.

Finders Keepers
A rock on an island, Cover it with sand, Place that rock, In the palm of your hand, Hold it forever, It becomes a part, That rock in your hand, Obscure, outdoor heart. Music so sweet, Silence so pure, The day we met, I was given the cure, Fixed twice, last fix, The past is gone, Twisted and stiched, Till it's done. Come find me, I'm not lost, Finders are keepers, Whatever the cost, The day's over, It's all just begun, Everything aside, You're the one.

Freestyle 101
Just alright are e-books  and just okay are e-zines I suppose they have their place in the natural progression of things but I love Books... Old books and new books soft books and hard books to sniff an stroke and even listen to   when antiquated stiff bindings moan after sitting unopened for far too long I just love books... to pile up beside my bed... and trip over in the night to scan and browse and finger  titles and check dates of copyrights to feel the vibrations from cover to cover of previous generations of fellow book lovers to peruse for forbidden doodles and marginal ramblings personal rememberances and briefly noted things purposely yet inadvertently left for future word finders like myself Okay... so...  e-books  and even e-zines now have their space   in the way of things but I still hold a special place for Books...

finders keepers (find her, keep her)
in a mental december haze looking out the window for my love. it's the falling season of motions in the leaves that gather around and cover the ground, and the lost road now belongs to those whose feet wander around not searching for nothing, yet finders of all that is worth.
