"foreseeing" poems
you ‘why’ her. While she is thrilled & happily beside you, Telling you when she’s up to something new. Your pre-existing notion of setting a “ya” for her limits, Persistent "no" to her wishes, She grows up to know that, if she got to do something new She got to fight over the, 5 Ws & 1 H! Ow! & you convince it’s out of distress not mistrust! And by the Indian parenting manual, questionnaire weighs heavier at a girl. ultimately, “This time”, “That day”, " This place", “Those people” Would impregnate her! Sons of yours - Son of nights! freely hatching eggs past curfew. Not foreseeing the evenings his sister would come crying. Parents when you talk on equality & empowerment, Let broad mind not hit the very ceiling of your house Let rest mindset that proclaims gender roles, The differential idea you set on them, From who uses broom to who chooses groom. If misogyny is permeated in the roots of society Cleansing and changing begins in the family, Before there in your minds, first.

When you 'Why' her
When life throws you difficult decisions, Of which you feel you can’t make. It’s best to go with your heart, Its decisions you should always take. It’s your heart that shows the true feeling, Of which you cannot just hide. Know that you made the right decision, Show it and walk tall with pride. The chance may not come again, And the options may not be the same. You don’t want to live with regrets, And only yourself for to blame. If it’s truly the person you love, It doesn’t matter what gets in your way. Ye will cross all the hurdles together, And take them in stride day by day. It’s not about foreseeing the future, Or looking to the wrong in the past. It’s about a true life of happiness, And making it work for to last. Don’t always live a life full of caution, Or stopping to analyse all. If the challenge is a little bit tougher, Together ye are not going to fall. Go out and live life to the full, It’s only the one we are given. And if we sometimes don’t get it right, It’s nothing that can’t be forgiven. So go with the flow for the moment, And work through things one by one. It’s not about being so serious, Just enjoy it and always have fun.

The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep, And round the pebbly beaches far and wide I heard the first wave of the rising tide Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep; A voice out of the silence of the deep, A sound mysteriously multiplied As of a cataract from the mountain’s side, Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep. So comes to us at times, from the unknown And inaccessible solitudes of being, The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul; And inspirations, that we deem our own, Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing Of things beyond our reason or control.

The Sound Of The Sea
The rustic sheet of a door screams as we pull it like a scab We step inside this warehouse can Two floors - we're holding hands His eyes lit like a crescent Moon - excited, he yells "daaad!" Our head, like swaying swing We see it all, tongue in cheek Like controls without the freak It's so much fun it stings An asymmetric wasteland Convenient and distorted The walls - bleak and boarded A symbolic sleight of hand This is where we feel My father's on the catwalk Like paranoia paraphernalia My son's grip tightens, it's the only thing that's real Absolute felicity To realize what I have in the confines of my hand Imperfection in the making - he doesn't understand Skylarking permissably A reverie to remember His smile - sifting through his eyes Warm, he maneuvers like the flies He was born in December Moving closer to my father He's amidst the in-between Consistently foreseen His motion is no bother He steps along the ply Somehow keen in his demeanor Four-years-old, but greener Tossed and turning - it's the gleaner The sheet has been disturbed He's falling to his death I'm blanketed in sweat This cannot be deserved My father's eyes - they match my own I tear through the distance Foreseeing and consistent My father is a witness The fear - he's fighting falling We've never known it more His tiny hands just wishing there were nails Collective - we're losing all things I grasp a finger as he falls but not enough to bring him back My son approaches pavement as it fills my throat the same I look him in the eyes as they melt away in pain My body wakes without my mind - hysterically screaming  "DAAAD!"

Sometimes my mind flies away, leaving my body behind. I look around the room, I’m so confused. Who are these people? Why am I here? It’s a bit too late, because they can’t relate. What’s happening to me? Why do I want to flee? Oh, this makes me hide, with no one by my side. My mind is wondering so fast; here comes a flashback. Why is he playing these games, and calling me names? Though he’s not so bright, he surely can fight. He knows my triggers, so go figure, He manipulates me, and watches me freeze. His hands are so smooth, as he makes his move. Pins me down to the ground; I begin to frown. He looks into my eyes, as I begin to cry. I try to tell him to stop, but it was a huge flop. He seemed so cool; God, I’m such a fool. Sometimes my mind flies away, leaving my body behind. I look around the room; I’m so confused. Who are these people? Why am I here? It’s a bit too late, because they can’t relate. What’s going on with me? Why do I want to flee? Oh, this makes me hide, with no one by my side. My mind is wondering so fast; here comes a flashback. I’m in a deep sleep; but I hear a peep. He’s at it again; I already hate men. I wish I can move; so that I can prove, I don’t want to be touched; please, this is a bit too much. Sometimes my mind flies away, leaving my body behind. I look around the room, I’m so confused. Who are these people? Why am I here? It’s a bit too late, because they can’t relate. What's going on with me? Why do I want to flee? Oh, this makes me hide, with no one by my side. My mind is wondering so fast; here comes a flashback. We’re arguing again; it’s half past ten. He comes up from behind, kinda like a grind. Tightly grasping me, I fell to my knee. Begging him to stop, treating me like a prop. This is all my fault, for not putting this to a halt. He’s still holding me, waiting for my mind to flee. His hand is on my dress, trying to expose my chest. My heart is pounding, it’s not astounding. I want to die, even though he’s high. But, just one more time, won’t be a crime. It’ll be over soon, just stare at the moon. Sometimes my mind flies away, leaving my body behind. I look around the room, I’m so confused. Who are these people? Why am I here? It’s a bit too late, because they can’t relate. What's going on with me? Why do I want to flee? Oh, this makes me hide, with no one by my side. My mind is wondering so fast; here comes a flashback. I’m getting into my car, until I notice a star, Shining so bright, can this be right? The time is here, but I’m shaking in fear. Just look into his eyes, but please don’t cry. I know he’s cheating, and I’m not foreseeing, Any future with him; my life is so dim. So I tell him goodbye, as I fix his tie. I climb into my car, viewing him from afar. I’ll never see him again, that’s my big plan. Sometimes my mind flies away, please not today. I look around the room, and that’s my cue. Think about these people, focus on why I’m here. It’s not too late, maybe they can relate? I know what’s happening to me, but why do I want to flee? Still I want to hide, but with very few by my side. My mind is wondering so fast; I’ll try to avoid the flashback.

Clearly observing the wicked danger lurking within you… What a paradox to witness a change of benevolence ridiculed by your truth. If only you understood what it takes to genuinely smile, You could move mountains across those magnificent cerulean skies. Even after our unpleasant confrontations, so cruel and wry. You deliberately chose to dance around to a distinctive rhyme. Using your words of trickery, resembling a serpent hissing fear. You untiringly strived to strike fatal arrows through an artificial crack on my fortified shield. I gave you only one chance to earn my professional trust. Then you destroyed it with mendacities absconding from your Machiavellian filthy mouth. Candidly, after foreseeing your vile pestilence emerging from within. I erupted in an outburst of laughter to have ever believed in your skin of sin. Beware, you have revealed an irrevocable glitch that is deceitfully sly. It portrays tyranny and narrow mindedness, depreciating with every malicious try. Running cunningly through your veins oozing massive animosity in disguise. Have you not scrutinized the gruesome language intensely stimulated from your heinously gazing eyes? By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Envisaged Impression
You're going on the highway, Bringing a new 4-string bass guitar, And a drum-set too for your sons. Now you could be a family rock band, You could churn your own Summer of '69, The world will know you three now. A really hot chick hitchhikes in your car, You are tensed as your eyes meet. There is unfathomable longing in hers, And the bathykolpian woman's so inviting. You can't play the good man at this age, You decide to cheat your own wife now. You stop the car quickly anyhow, A quickee's on your mind & nothin' more. She smiles at you and lunging towards her, You smell the inviting scent of hers. In middle of the kiss you start foreseeing, You forsee a bright romantic future, Suddenly her wellbeing's lost & she vomits. Then you bring her to the hospital, The gynaecologist congratulates you, "Congrats! You're going to be a father!" Taken aback, you say, "But I just met her!" The girl who hitchhiked says, ***"He's ****** lying!"*** The doc summons the police and your test is done, "Good news & bad news," the doc says, "One, you're not her baby's father." Hearing this you're relieved. "Now the bad news, doc," you say. The doc says, "You could have never have fathered any even if you intended to." You are flabbergasted, "What the hell! Why?" The doc pacifies, "Your load doesn't have any sperms," Seeing you shocked the doctor says, ***"It's a birth defect that happens rarely but yes it does..." "...You may sue the girl for everything."*** The biggest shock in your life so far. You just shake your head and turn around to go. You're in the middle of a nightmare, It couldn't be true! ***If not you then the 2 kids back home, They belonged to whom!*** Now that's the biggest tension!

Why did you give no hint that night That quickly after the morrow’s dawn, And calmly, as if indifferent quite, You would close your term here, up and be gone Where I could not follow With wing of swallow To gain one glimpse of you ever anon! Never to bid good-bye Or lip me the softest call, Or utter a wish for a word, while I Saw morning harden upon the wall, Unmoved, unknowing That your great going Had place that moment, and altered all. Why do you make me leave the house And think for a breath it is you I see At the end of the alley of bending boughs Where so often at dusk you used to be; Till in darkening dankness The yawning blankness Of the perspective sickens me! You were she who abode By those red-veined rocks far West, You were the swan-necked one who rode Along the beetling Beeny Crest, And, reining nigh me, Would muse and eye me, While Life unrolled us its very best. Why, then, latterly did we not speak, Did we not think of those days long dead, And ere your vanishing strive to seek That time’s renewal? We might have said, “In this bright spring weather We’ll visit together Those places that once we visited.” Well, well! All’s past amend, Unchangeable. It must go. I seem but a dead man held on end To sink down soon. . . . O you could not know That such swift fleeing No soul foreseeing— Not even I—would undo me so!

The Going
Blue is for detachment, the lateral, the second thought The dragonfly’s wing, that blue, the company of a shadow; The curtain of dusk, the blue of solitude; The blue of people, their blue hair; The abandoned blue of loss; Astute blue, foreseeing who wakes and who sleeps; The blue of blue jays, one tear of a fallen angel; The blue of what is forgotten; Blue of juniper, blue of sky; The blue of rivers, the blue of fingertips; The blue of feathers, their glossed barbs; Poppy seed blue, recently harvested; The blue of argon, the arm, the path to refuge; Blue is for hope, a sanctuary, the final word; The turtle’s back, that blue, the pulse of veins; Wind chill, the blue of absence; The blue of trees, their blue branches; The paralyzing blue of fear.

The midnight hours Know all about my muffled screams, My bloodshot eyes and swollen lips, The sleep that chooses To evade me. **The midnight hours Know more about me than you ever will.** The midnight hours Know about the heartaches and cravings While I lay awake My ears intent upon hearing The silent song the sky sings To the earth **Oh, yes, the midnight hours know more about me than you ever will** The midnight hours Watch silently As I take off my facade And try to untangle my woes Vainly, The clock ticking In the background **The midnight hours know more about me than you ever will** The midnight hours Feel the invisible pile Of failed attempts weigh me down on my chest, wondering how many more Before I suffocate To an early, unremarkable death **Oh yes, the midnight hours know more about me than you ever will.** The midnight hours, Bid farewell, Leaving so softly, Their eyes foreseeing The dark future of mine- Darker than any shade they bring **The midnight hours know more about me Than you ever will**

The heavy hours
I love you more than words can e'er express, More than possibly you could ever know. For with you I have found true happiness And the meaning of true love I now know. I could have had no way of foreseeing That I could love someone as you I do; With every fibre of my being, Certain the only one for me is you. That we should never part each day I pray, That you should be part of my life always, For I love you more with each passing day, Know I shall love you for all of my days. I feel we were meant to be together, That you and I are soulmates forever.

I can too count!) like you, one mo' time, my grandson... someday you may stumble on the Internet reservoir, this histoire, where memories never disappear, from somebody's server and my this, my creme word decorating, adorning this little mini-cupcake of just ours. if you walk the streets of my city of poems, you will find a poem prayer, I once uttered, after turning down an invitation from the East River to join its swift currents carrying away hard strife, to the Atlantic Ocean graveyard. three words denied the seductress the toll she was charging that day, smart kid you guessed it, my future grandchildren. there will be days when the crush will prove too much, I know it's coming, no use denying that all my blessings sprinkled cannot preempt your heartbreak and soul ache. but I will write these words, and sprinkle them upon your forehead when no one, especially those parents, are looking, thus protecting you from yourself, too oft, a human's greatest enemy. if I can not grasp your hand, let my words gasp you into understanding, that in the future someday, you will say just like your old poppy, my future grandchildren, and* stay thy hand from the worst temptation *t'is of man's nature, the ability to forget, different ways of foreseeing better days.... so to see the future's betterment turning your way, just say, my future grandchildren*

Wind blows. Snow falls. The great clock in its tower Ticks with reverberant coil and tolls the hour: At the deep sudden stroke the pigeons fly . . . The fine snow flutes the cracks between the flagstones. We close our coats, and hurry, and search the sky. We are like music, each voice of it pursuing A golden separate dream, remote, persistent, Climbing to fire, receding to hoarse despair. What do you whisper, brother? What do you tell me? . . . We pass each other, are lost, and do not care. One mounts up to beauty, serenely singing, Forgetful of the steps that cry behind him; One drifts slowly down from a waking dream. One, foreseeing, lingers forever unmoving . . . Upward and downward, past him there, we stream. One has death in his eyes: and walks more slowly. Death, among jonquils, told him a freezing secret. A cloud blows over his eyes, he ponders earth. He sees in the world a forest of sunlit jonquils: A slow black poison huddles beneath that mirth. Death, from street to alley, from door to window, Cries out his news,--of unplumbed worlds approaching, Of a cloud of darkness soon to destroy the tower. But why comes death,--he asks,--in a world so perfect? Or why the minute's grey in the golden hour? Music, a sudden glissando, sinister, troubled, A drift of wind-torn petals, before him passes Down jangled streets, and dies. The bodies of old and young, of maimed and lovely, Are slowly borne to earth, with a dirge of cries. Down cobbled streets they come; down huddled stairways; Through silent halls; through carven golden doorways; From freezing rooms as bare as rock. The curtains are closed across deserted windows. Earth streams out of the shovel; the pebbles knock. Mary, whose hands rejoiced to move in sunlight; Silent Elaine; grave Anne, who sang so clearly; Fugitive Helen, who loved and walked alone; Miriam too soon dead, darkly remembered; Childless Ruth, who sorrowed, but could not atone; Jean, whose laughter flashed over depths of terror, And Eloise, who desired to love but dared not; Doris, who turned alone to the dark and cried,-- They are blown away like windflung chords of music, They drift away; the sudden music has died. And one, with death in his eyes, comes walking slowly And sees the shadow of death in many faces, And thinks the world is strange. He desires immortal music and spring forever, And beauty that knows no change.

Better days When the world was beautiful Dancing was a fever A feeling so high All the lovers raged on and on Upon a mountain of lovers Twisting, sensual A touch, so seldom It brought shivers Taking chances Realizing that one night Was the last of eternal bliss Lasting love and happiness Over Without so much a proper farewell Now begging to return to the dance floor Walking towards the exit Humming slightly To a tune not forgotten Walking amongst unfamiliar faces Forbidden love Prohibited from falling in love again Not a chance to see what was happiness Only a songstress could save me Perhaps if I shouted for her, for him, for you Resisting is foolish For I have been consumed by an angel Who sought me out And ordered me to raise arms up And shout for love A sound in the night Stranger in the night Confined to solitary confinement Forcing me to reconsider The life chosen Closer and closer Redesigning the world in an image Where love is in all of us One step ahead Planning for a revival When all hell broke But an epiphany occurred This was the dream To travel far and near Where the world is seen In multicolored And black and white This was a beautiful sight The beautiful dream A mighty return to this dance floor Risen from ashes A triumphant victor Shining lights upon the followers Notice this is reality Not fiction The sound of music Flowing into each body Embraces and affection A thrill Heartbeats ceasing Trying to capture the intensity of a moment that is unforgettable Created from nothing An illusion that was created To preserve a creature so pure It was thought to have been banned from mortal eyes Now it has crashed Creating confusion amongst the lovers Fearing for her safety It created a masquerade ball Surrounding by what she deemed reality A distant land Only she knew When the perfect world shattered Rumors spread of a goddess with the powers of the forbidden Foreseeing a brighter day for those who chose a higher path The world knew of the secret Complicating information However the brightest in the world Seemed unaffected by the discovery Hiding their connection When the goddess loathed being captured She revealed the master plan But promising to strike twice If the world saw what was lying underneath Gone, the goddess sought shelter far away Nothing the mortals knowledge of her plan Striking from heavens above Lightning struck twice Blinding the universe For only a second Nothing existed Reminding the world Dark disco magic Warped time and love Nothing was ever bright When left alone Or forgotten Or simply existing

Fresh like a breeze along the beaches of caribbean seas, squeezed orange juice on early mornings in champagne glasses. Fresh like a bald cut on a Marine, Navy seal or even the old man down the block keeping it real. Fresh like a baby in a womb, car smell, new perfume, dorm rooms, or anything that seems cool. Fresh like a new pair of J's, or even a basketball player even better than Kobe when he plays. Fresh like a girl opening her legs for feelings of *********** or even teenagers using proactive for there pores. Fresh like tired of saying fresh like I'm the best right, lyrical lights infested blood, Z Type. I know its wack but I try my best, to even contest with poetry, complexed not even a inch of talent flowing in me. My enemies telling me that its real still there scrolls are sealed, lying to keep my lips sealed. They laugh behind my back giving false facts, about me laying down wax to keep my rhymes charged to the max. Instead I walk on tacks bare foot open toes its a lie to tell the truth why should I even appose. I received a broken nose mentally foreseeing scripts critically AM I FRESH I GUESS NOT. More of a plot to leave me blind, terrorist worst then Sadam aligned to lock my mind I look at myself below divine.

Sensual Dream
i can't escape you in my head with worried words you always said the ones about us not foreseeing what this Love could end up being today i felt you as i woke the Sun it shined on words revoked the poems they just come to me flowing from this heart that beats the one you opened up for me and now my head is stuck at sea hooked on all the Love we'd be i can't forget your humble might you had the light when i lost sight you shined upon my darkest nights but now we're far apart in time oh tell me that you think of me when happy couples dance and sing and kiss out on the wooden floor the one where you struck me with more more Love than i had known before more Heart than any Soul had worn it is that moment i adore i'd give it endless more encores i swear i'll find my way back to you i'll travel far and wide to do those things you promised me, i knew one day i'd fly away for you i'll leave this country and all i see if only it means _You and Me_ the _Magic_ we had felt will be eternal and our losses we had carried heavy will all flee as you join them there with me we'll bury them in _Sand of We_

Sand of We
Farouche people cast lethal ephemeralities, they are skittish howitzers' foreseeing Tamper and muck around with us Proceed please, gain potency Address prowess, then once you've coward in a corner, strain to flee Michka was languid sáwol (OE) The bullied ******* not teeming by any means Always a vexed mind, full of pillage grim Every day the same prediction Once the bruises turned healing yellow, they'd regain their blue gray He walked the plank and served the steak He dilapidated himself in vile rain Gained no aplomb confidence Only verbal abuse that strayed persistent Only mental and physical wounds surfaced Strolling down the broken sidewalk of crumbled concrete A noticement of condemned buildings 6235 Mirnerva LN Visions he had entering, visions he had slaying Of the civil and socialble Torture to the dependable He walked inside to leaks and floor holes Ancient 1920 furniture and stoves More than one stove that could hold coal To burn  bodies of evidence made him feel like gold He had a place of his own He mirrored himself as a transfixing carver Despersing of the bully fools No more drubbing routs' after school

Michka's Facet Vision (Old English)
Why Do We Have Eyes? Reflecting the Weakness of the Soul Capturing The Beauty Just to Watch it Fade Away Why do We Have a Mouth? Able to Tell So Much Wonders To A Loved One Who Do not Dare To Listen Why Do We Have Ears? Forever Reminding The Loneliness The Absence Of Voice The Plenitude Of Solitude Why do We Have A Soul? Remembering the Eternal Not Foreseeing Eternity Leaving You In Sorrow Why Do We Have A Brain? Conflicting with Eyes, Heart and Soul Whispering You The Evident Truth Of Your Insignificant Being I Want To Pierce My Eyes So They Never Lay Down Again On Beauty Of A Mirage Forever Dissolving in Front of Them I Want To Sew My Mouth Forever Silenced So I can Not Hear The Silent Echo of My Howls I Want To Blow My Ears Exploding In A Blast Forever Shut To the Shouts of Silence I Want to Tear Of My Heart So The Pain Will Disappear The Crimson Nectar Inevitably Dispersing My Life I Want to Destroy My Soul Breaking the Circle of Pain Never Have Been, Never Will Be Just Disappearing Of The Creation I Want To Give Back My Energy So It Can Be Free To Fulfill A Creature Worth Living Who Can Accomplish Something A Creature Who Will Know What it is to Be Loved Just a Quantum Of How Much I Love You Warlock

Why?
brain dead for years with a tin man’s ticker lost in teenaged conveniences and comfort zones walking through day dreams in the fetal position tinnitus’ tones drowning out the music in my head feeling like puzzle pieces forced together when they don’t really fit like Frankenstein’s monster limping and grunting through High School struggling through classes with some zombie’s ears ditching often to go to the bowling alley graduating unprepared in an inverted reality with polluted brown skies and a blue world wearing the same blue shirt and blue jeans everyday wrapped up tight like a blue eggroll futility’s fortune cookie foreseeing only deafness and poverty hating life and self –EVERYDAY! then, somehow, a song crept under the veil seeping through my tough outer veneers it’s lyrics melting a hardness in my chest it’s music coursing through my body like chi exciting my Brownian motion a simple message of finding oneself delivered in powerful, rich, soulful baritone stamped with profound, moving emotional range inflection mounting upon reflection it’s chorus and theme reverberating I played that record over and over again listening with my toenails I decided right then and there to give it a try that “learning to love yourself”* is a good thing and that ‘good thing’ was who and what I wanted to be
