You are light I am light reflected through the crystal prism of time and space Each of us shines with a million colors Fractals that glimmer in certain light at certain angles What really matters is what you see my blue isn't your blue or red or yellow Those colors are determined by our place in time and space There is an energy consider it magic that flows and weaves in and out of every person or place or thing And like a spell cast that energy becomes our luster When the sun starts to set and its luminescence shines though that cut and shaped glass window in the front door we all have It spills our hue for all to see You become a rainbow I become a rainbow our pigment splashed on life itself becomes our personality And much like we all have our favorite colors that's what draws us to one another

pageants of pageants fractals and hype of faceless terrors and faceless inside when rain on corrugated iron when rain and the kettle boiling i know i have taken too much time i have taken time from time to decide to realise i was only wiser before trying. Patterns of paradox haunt the terms of all desire tussock grass on paths that cuts the thin skin and sticks and a view to nowhere some leaf in autumn the hope of finding

4am when the moonlight broke through
i'm broken spaces, unnamed multitude faces: see wholes as fractals. i'm rubbed raw and sore, i'm ***** waves on the shore: rampant and rascal. lost in the spotlight, yet so defensive for fights: though impractical. i'm wanted by you, yet i question what is true: you falter and stall.

Exquisite Unique Become what you seek What is complete? How deep is your deep? Experience each moment You've earned it own it Fractal Vibrations one component Love comes from the soul Penetrate fills hatreds holes Twisting time with rhythmic rhyme Reading signs put in these lines Witness all the mental smoke Instigator stab and poke Give it all till I'm broke Passion hitting in one big stroke Time to come alive Elevate each other we'll thrive More than survive Unknown we can dive Vibrate till I turn to dust Never taste the center eat my crust In rhymes I trust..so full I bust Flow so fluid I'll never rust Now I can be flashy..tell a tale Not a one hundred percent sometimes I fail Pierce my heart with a rusty nail Darkness takes over but love prevails Imagination stretch..memorize every turn Set fire to your mind feel the burn Knowledge from pain is how we learn Balance will reward you with what you earn Wisdom doesn't flow from all that speak Truths are hidden which is why we seek We all must climb to reach your peak Creates who we are..Exquisite...Unique!!

I collect memories of you and wear them like a charm bracelet They delicately dangle and glint in the sun like tiny wind chimes You are cast in silver cold to the touch, yet warm on my wrist Chain-link ringlets coil closer than your hair loose clasp, smooth hands Flawless fractals falling one by one

Worlds physical? Or worlds mental? It makes all the difference. Without the sciences it wouldn't matter either way The last time I was taken from earth without moving? Excepting when reading, with math. Tesselations and fractals and numbers Numbers have a flow all their own Without numbers, meter and rhyme couldn't be Even now, without numbers this discussion could not be held Even now this typing is numbers It may not look it, but its all ones and zeroes The angle and curvature of every letter defines language I say nay my friend, nay I never spoke the words declaring math and science the crown of humanity And the words stating english its clothes They are important, both in their own way, But think of this: you cannot do math Nor calculate the distance from venus to the Andromodean galaxy without math But think also of this: communication may exist without english Numerical codes and codexes and letters written entirely in numbers or symbols Do exist I dare not refute the value of english, but do you argue the language or the study? The study can be done away with and easily Put to rest, as it had to be created The language too was created and came from Some mother language But we always had math. Does not even an ape know that an even split To a banana is half? Apes have no words as we think of them But still, they do not have english They don't have a grammar and spelling system nor manner of speaking, They communicate perfectly well, even without words But how are they to place value on objects without math? Even some crude understanding of value Is math A banana must be worth less than two, no? English resides on emotion and feeling, whereas math and numbers rest upon fact How does one win an arguement without numbers? Even now you use them.

Just disappearing isn't possible when it takes so long for a rock wall to erode away   The wind is the only one that sees you, and its silence grinds down from the inside out a mountain too high to climb   It's hard to forget swelling words spoken under the breath of the voice of silence, when your hands are lined with all that they ever have; still bearing every latent piece that breaks off tryin' to keep from the sight of another tempest storm gale moving worlds   So I'm going way outside the edge of the inside; crossing over way outside the lines covered by gathered windblown life fractals     Though I may not get back in again, way outside the lines, or I might not even want to ... you can’t go back the same way you came, everything changes while you're gone even if you DO notice   Gravity pulls with the strength of a turning tide: you can try and fight it, but you can't stop its running downhill looking behind your eyes, trying to take you back the same way you went way outside   the lines ...         Jesse

Way outside the lines
Math Numbers The only things everyone And everything have in common You can find mathematical proofs written In between the stars Numerical sequences hiding beneath a fern That unfurls to reach the heavens No one can deny, one will always equal one And the sum of two numbers will never change Truths remain truths no matter the language I can't see how my friends can say 'I hate math' Or how people say 'numbers are stupid' Numbers and math comprise the essence of life On another planet the number pi and Sierpinski's triangle may have different names But their rules remain the same Math and numbers make up geometry Which is full of tesselations, and fractals And beautiful diagrams and principles How can you not love something like the Golden Ratio, or the Fibonacci sequence? They provide the curl of a fern, the twist of A snail's shell, the spiral of a pineapple And rotation of axial leaves Such a beautiful, never changing system That appears in so so many forms Why be bored when you can play with fractal-y Tesselating doodles? And don't even get me started on science...

Flaming bridges up in smoke— ashes scattered in the wind Requiem to passing yesterdays; vestige of all that’s lost — bestrewn in prevailing currents amongst the drifting autumn leaves No smoke on rising waters — lingers between growing distant shores Untamed rivers rising rinse away the taste of sparks spake from silent tongues Portaging all that once was with all that could never remain,  back to the briny deep  An uncontainable rivers pilgrimage — entombing reverently ancient fractals of being Sowing feral rivers' ashes — sacrificial scatterings of destiny washed afar unto the flotsam on shoreless stormy  seas Jesse Stillwater

Burning rivers
In the water, I find your face in the sacred geometry of the waves and the swirling of the sky. Birds fly, whistling overhead. I hear your name in the flutter of their wing and sighs on the current of air, When I conjure you to my mind. Each parcel of rainbow light, your love. Today the sand is soft and warm. I let it stick to my legs and fall through my fingers. Pondering this universe in the fractals of the dancing landscape. Floating weightless and in love.

Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Does the Ice make you shiver? does it? Pay attention to the chill, the chill is the most shivering fear of all. Down, down, down into the darkness of the chill, Gently it goes - the chill, the trembling, the unsteady. A thawing, however hard it tries, Will always be Melting. Does the thawing make you shiver? does it? The big winter sings like a Sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn Now cosmic is just the thing, To get me wondering if the winter is mature. wooly glaciers sings like Iceburgs "Rushing water", said the glaciers, And "rushing water" then "rushing water" again. How happy is the frozen popsicle! Does the popsicle make you shiver? does it? The freezing that's really crystals, Above all others is the frost. Does the frost make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Does the Ice make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Ice, Ice, every where, Yet not a drop to draft. How happy is the cold surface! Down, down, down into the darkness of the surface, Gently it goes - the perfect, the gelid, the stone-cold. Pay attention to the floe, the floe is the most Dence ice mass of all. Floe, floe, every where, Yet not a drop to drift. The thawing is like a gentle voice, it tends to cause significantly. Does the thawing make you shiver? does it? The athletic game that's really zany, Above all others is the hockey. Pause to assist, like the hockey does. It does assist, it does draft, Should it also induct? Why would you think the snowfall is gradual? the snowfall is the most sudden downfall of all. Pause to last, like the snowfall does. It does last, it does accumulate, Should it also range? I saw the the antarctic installation of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the water. I don't like the fact that it, learned to reside before it knew how to flow. You can reside, you can flow, but can you supply? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Does the Ice make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Pause to draft, like the Ice does. Don't belive that the snowfall is small? the snowfall is big beyond belief. Never forget the braggy and large-scale snowfall. Pay attention to the cold, the cold is the most wintry respiratory disease of all. Are you upset by how springlike it is? Does it tear you apart to see the cold so frozen? I saw the the little demoralize of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the chill. Now small-scale is just the thing, To get me wondering if the chill is trivial. An iceman, however hard it tries, Will always be cunning. Are you upset by how adroit it is? Does it tear you apart to see the iceman so attractive? I saw the the Frozen excretion of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the water. Never forget the sleety and unchangeable water. Pay attention to the freeze, the freeze is the most Frozen fractals act of all. Does the freeze make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, they did kindly draft for me. Do Ice make you shiver? do they?

They use fractals for the mountains And then again for the trees I think they might use calculus For the waves upon the seas Fibonacci works for sea shells I heard also for the ear Fibonacci knows the perfect rose I submit to you my dear Although not common in nature If at all it's only a blip But still incredibly fun for me and my son When we made our Möbius strip The most confusing math in nature Used describing me and you I learned in school, I know it's true That one plus one, is two But you and I together It feels like we are one And when you are away from me The math it equals none

*of flavor in an A-ha moment.. at these differences we smile.. :) fractals are about similarity and difference.. connectedness rules.. Let us inquire of the similarity in the bursts above.. all similarities find Torus shape.. Torus is formula iterating creating all differences we find.. On a vertical column curved surface surrounds a hidden black hole.. at a Point black hole turns white.. now our bursts all are as One.. The Torus needs motivation to move arousal and stimulation below and above.. all this Similarity iterates the differences so striking we see.. More differences now: succulent juices pulses and flow DMT liquid light.. all these differences.. really..? we smile again.. :)*

Fingers Picking ****** flowers Dripping spice burgundy Staining serenity A touch of Surreal simplicity Undaunted movement of Molecular fractals Bursting in waves Of fantastical light Sensual trickles Tongue Licking sappy mosses Amber and honey Expanding swiftly An odyssey through the Gums and divisions Between ivory teeth Ecstasy aplenty Flooding down through The body Leaving stains Of serenity Nostrils Sniffing smoky cedar Microscopic air ripples Orchestra of tune and note Tune and note Whispers and cries Kisses and sighs Invisible in form and sight These do travel Through tunnels Those give sense of smell Droplets of spice burgundy Toes Sinking through layer Under layer of moist clay Descending in time shaken Matter Pores of the skin Breathing air and soil Replenishing vital veins Rivers of beating blood Unending Molecular fractals Fingers Picking ****** flowers Dripping spice burgundy Staining serenity A touch of Surreal simplicity Undaunted movement of Molecular fractals Bursting in waves Of fantastical light Sensual trickles

#*“You cannot hold it, but it will cradle you. You cannot see or touch it, but when contact comes, You will see me, hold me, as in the days of your youth, When you loved me best, And I, you.”* **From: Seven New Poems for Seven Days #2: Hover ... by Nat Lipstadt** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in memoriam to memories: for Miriam and Nat reading each thought numerous ticks of days, imbibe the silent of the silence hanging from the rafters this wilderness roof; grayed heartwood walls that separate fractals of inseparable distances ― celebrations the roads taken ― memories of those left behind at the side of the mile untrodden Congregated love and sorrow’s spoken words scribed on paper bark touchstones ― etched watermarks of perpetual tides patina the afterglow of life's ebb and flow, traces of everything and naught can ever fill Experiencing intimate moments immemorial; the whispers of living pulse still murmurs in the gentle breeze between the gathered words of heart breathing deeply ― a rush of systemic truth born in the wholly sacred blood bequeathed A soul outside the lines ponders ― the sum whole of a life well lived; coming to understand, although all might not see the same light shine: there’s a place one day we’ll return we found along the way because one day will come by here … harlon rivers ...

in memoriam to memories
Healing hands laid to rest wandering in the near light of sunrise fumbling for fractals of memory ambling in the haze of yesterday. Stolen words and displaced letters floating in the ambience of space cosmonauts of distant planets arms outstretched beckoning the echoes sent from a thousand light years away. Time is an irrelevant motion tiny air bubbles escorting life rising to the surface of forgotten dreams spiraling, pulsating in a heartbeat chambered by grasping futures. The underlying fever reaching inwards and outwards through the soul seeking the blindness of tomorrow unfurl their magical delights wrapped in the glint of a solar cosmos. Drifting beyond the reach of nature blackness surrounds with the warmth of knowing, a million miles away, as if an undercurrent draws its final breath behold wonderment far-seeing leaving strange footprints that someday others will say: here stood a sentient being.

In The Blindness of Tomorrow
A synthetic thunderstorm envelops me and I forget where my life is. I forget about you and your fluent tongue of disinterest, puppetry, and misinformation. I forget the speakers and soundscapes; wires and ties and strings attached, the way I struggle to sleep alone, but cannot share my life with anyone. I forget the next payday, the next lay; the need to borrow words and feelings just to make sense of my own. Distraction and hunger for nicotine become near-echoes of a past life- an umbilical bond to old decades of habit and mistrust for the sober mind. I forget the ash and ends I have left behind. The ocean is close but occupies no space, only the airwaves with a rhythmic breath to still my own, reducing my identity to fractals of self-interest and oneness. I forget who I am amongst the writing desk, The Book Of Longing, the cooling tea; the stagnant water. I forget flesh desire, violent *** and apologetic ******* I forget, for once, the need to live, amongst all of this living.

My shattered soul is Scattered throughout space and time Infinite fractals - Holographic pieces Containing the Whole I am stardust in a faraway galaxy And the warming rays of the sun The blade of grass on a meadow Gently undulating in the breeze The refreshing rain on an arid plane And the tree that has seen it all I am the mountain standing firm In neutral observation I am the waves on the water and The teeming life within I am the Sirian in human disguise And the quantum of light - A traveling photon shooting through An ocean of emptiness Heralding change I see myself reflected A thousand times I read my words In other poets’ poems and Hear my song sung By venerated voices My hopes and dreams are Imagined into reality By actors calling themselves human Unaware of their role on The stage of life I am the little girl Scared to face the world And the Amazon with eagle eyes And heightened senses Confident about my next move The grandmother burdened By a life of suffering And the one crouching behind The eyes of the beggar Beholding the careless passerby Who is Oblivious of my existence I am the ****** on the roof The killer and the killed The mother tenderly nursing my child And the little boy lost in ecstasy When I see the ocean For the first time I am the light I am the dark The poet and the poem The muse of the painter And the color on her brush The blank canvas and The piece of art Everything and nothing A paradox of the universe So I am sending out A magnetic pulse Spreading love through all of existence Thus calling my shattered pieces Back to the HEART © Jasmine, Amsterdam, October 2013

a person barely within earshot may absorb the cheerful ring in my voice. they see me in glimmering gold embellished with refracting glass - always with crinkles adorning my eyes. someone else may be right across the table and see small smoke tendrils escaping my ears. laughter follows the smoke, and it fades away. they see dull gold topped with smashed glass. the crinkles sometimes disappear, only to return a few seconds later. A few can see my heart whenever they like. they hear unsteady tremors between words. they see billowing smoke emanating from my ears and mouth. they know the wrapping is gold foil with smashed hourglasses piercing my skin. the crinkles appear whenever they want. nevertheless, they see me rise, even as I ache. I, the permanent resident of this body, shed the itchy foil whenever I can. my cells are clouded by smoke, and the hourglass fractals swirl into a tornado behind my sternum. the crinkles have been starched. But, I remember I am walking on diamonds, and I slowly sculpt my armor. I exhale, and the smoke clears, bit by bit. I reach behind my sternum, grabbing the fractals to line my armor. I splash water onto my face, and the corners of my eyes crinkle again.

on the outside, closing in.
Barking along the seething sea Tethys sparkling Sans Pellagrino Bubbled up with volcanic Albido And it exposed the cragged shores Of a incessantly compiling Or Completely snuffed Mountain Bored and drilled by time Sharper than a dying dimond Cooked and left to rest A Dinar plate To which an all you can eat Buffet Played out pleasently From antiquity To present A gift to an aging child To be which pure joy can behold. Today it is home of the Croats The ancient Frontier of a meiotic Rome And over small-grain time Made coats Of arms and animal manes To give a name To the nameless To give a place To the missed That old Tethys barks like a fish Beyond the Odoacerean boot, Scylla and Charybdis Where the whales float And great souls Stolen deep within wishing to find god Fumbling in the dark Searching for Alexandria The flame of life Become great stories to be told And nothing more. Odysseus Hug the shore Follow the land of the mysterious Croats Do not venture beyond the threshold Or you will be consumed by time And lost to her Circedean jealous pines Do not anger the constant love of Helios No, These Croats have never croaked They know not of amphibiotes And the sharpened clades of life Made and tailored bespoke Sowed In the fractals Of the quiet word of Eloah.

101 Million Dalmatia
The cocoons cracked open And these beautiful creatures That resulted from metamorphosis Fluttered around their new home In the wife's stomach "I am going to pick him up" She kissed her daughter Whom also had insects Fluttering inside her 9 year old stomach lining 720 seconds were spent in the station-wagon Dodging the  potholes the city refused to repair 720 seconds were spent Taking her to see him. His flight landed 360 seconds after she arrived And they embraced one another for 180 seconds Before she guided her camouflaged warrior Back to the station-wagon Sweaty palms gripped the steering wheel Salt water streaks on her burning Scarlett cheeks Bleached teeth being advertised To her camouflaged warrior Thhhunkthhuhnkthhunkk Pothole. As the wife turned to the rear window Fearing she hurt one of God's creatures Frightened she had innocent blood on her hands Inadvertently disobeyed the shining red beacon ahead of her Screeching metal violating airwaves Burning tires sliding against asphalt Glass fractals orbiting through the sky Flatline. Beneath the Mylar balloons Waiting patiently under the "Welcome Home" banner Sat a daughter with fluttering butterflies Unaware the balloons would lose their helium And the insects inside her would decompose Long before she would be reunited with her parents again.

I cannot, Soar through the air, And fly freely, Across the thermal, Winds. My outstretched hands Cannot delve into, The rain clouds, And disperse, The ever growing, Fractals of grey. Water droplets, Causing my skin, To concave. Leaving me limp, Exceedingly fragile. My bones, Crumbling under, The pressure. It's as if, I am your paper plane, Left lying, In the murky, Puddle water. *Daunghting realms, Of forgetful delight, Causing me, Too all but, disintegrate.*

Paper plane
Shroud, encompassing The blanket over my head I am the twin of The sleeping spring, hers is snow my sister The one I actually like The unending winter, blank white Now I see why animals hibernate, in the winter there is No color to paint your thoughts on The sky is spliced with the ground, blazing white unending no limit to ponder No sky to ponder the limit of (lim as x approaches 2, calculus, my bane) You tip-toe through pure white banks, your soul is ***** in comparison you are old ugly jiggly and soft in comparison To sharp clear fractals, individuals sparkling even in the whitesky's frank stare whiteground whitesky white I don't add up I don't add up I don't add up I don't add up They say this is the longest winter ever recorded for Canada People joke we're Canada we live in igloos anyways I can confirm This is wrong; I have distinct memories of spider-holes in damp dead grass Furious water rushing down rock blasted for a highway Warm sun damp air damp grass rubber boots and most of all Bluesky greenbrownground an imperfect world to wonder in To not feel incomparable to Mud as jiggly and soft as fat and muscle layered on bleach bones, bone marrow chunky porous redbrownred No white to speak of, even my pale skin is pinkish dotted with islands of moles When I wake up the blanket is a shroud over my head to block out the light and now I understand what I must do Hibernate and forget like the bears I miss Let the white light filter through colorful sheets I will feed off the blue light instead Remember, it can't last forever somethings gotta give Express sympathy for the car crashes and wait. Patiently.
