"frontiers" poems
Unbiased at least he was when he arrived on his mission, Having never set eyes on the land he was called to partition Between two peoples fanatically at odds, With their different diets and incompatible gods. "Time," they had briefed him in London, "is short. It's too late For mutual reconciliation or rational debate: The only solution now lies in separation. The Viceroy thinks, as you will see from his letter, That the less you are seen in his company the better, So we've arranged to provide you with other accommodation. We can give you four judges, two Moslem and two Hindu, To consult with, but the final decision must rest with you." Shut up in a lonely mansion, with police night and day Patrolling the gardens to keep the assassins away, He got down to work, to the task of settling the fate Of millions. The maps at his disposal were out of date And the Census Returns almost certainly incorrect, But there was no time to check them, no time to inspect Contested areas. The weather was frightfully hot, And a bout of dysentery kept him constantly on the trot, But in seven weeks it was done, the frontiers decided, A continent for better or worse divided. The next day he sailed for England, where he could quickly forget The case, as a good lawyer must. Return he would not, Afraid, as he told his Club, that he might get shot.

Partition
Welcome to the dawn of a new age Open up the book turn the page Let's excel to highest degree Recognize evolution of humanity Back on track showing I don't lack Doing what I do to make you react Let's take a trip through my mind Poetry prophecy perfectly combine Who has the answer? Let's ask the question Seems no one is paying attention To "Money" which is created by man It separates people Are you starting to understand It's a trap set by death it wont stop Till you breathe your last breath Hmm that's right... Not even death is free Money is the maker of poverty Overpopulation, segregation a messed up nation Leads to mass annihilation Wartime the battles rage on Is it about hatred? Or some politician's song? Time and space The final frontiers Bombs explode people run in fear Annihilation of a species unknown Aliens from space invade our home Pledge allegiance to a flag Whichever may wave whatever they have Science is it fiction or fact? Sometimes it's hard to believe all that Who's gonna do it? Who has the answer? Prophets fall but not from cancer GOD.. Labeled "Almighty One" Spoke to us on earth through his son Whether you agree or disagree Intentions were to save humanity Who'll stand up? Who'll be the one? To bring about change without firing a gun? Each generation builds off the legacy of the last Ignorance of history doom us to repeat our past..

Dawn Of A New Age
Volunteers, PSGs, Staffs Executive Directors And higher task allocators. People pass by Mic's were off Facade was the banner of hope. Voices all over the provinces All with the same goal Rightly urged with own reasons. Two faces were present Painted with grimace Or with broaden smiles. *The screening was stern and severe Camera rolls on with Level 2 "Next," "Give me another song" The voice sounds no roughs of plead A voice pushing rivals To their very own frontiers I was startled So this is how they do it Selection, great screenings There're expectators There're hope hurtles Dreams will sooner be pulled of.

The Voice Audition
My body burns to rove far from man-made buildings, prisons for the modern soul. I need to traverse the frontiers white man stole from those who made it their home. I've been down to the Everglades of Florida. Fan boats flew through the estuary lines with roots of mangroves. I've been to the Hoh Rain Forest of Washington where fog descended on the shoreline and married the sulfur smell rising from hot springs. I must experience America's coast to coast beauty. Every spare seconds I spend luxuriating in the sun, thinking of all the places untouched. My list of desires grows as the glaciers of Glacier recede in Montana, beckoning me to the Rocky Mountain Peaks. Old Faithful gushes, surrounded by wolves and grizzlies. Someday I'll cross Yellowstone's expansive mountain ranges. from Idaho to Montana to Wyoming. On the arches of Utah I'll face my fear of heights and find solace at the tops of time-layered sandstone towers. Descending the Grand Canyon I'll study beautiful colors exposed by years of erosion. In winter Death Valley will be braved. The lowest and direst point will exhilarate me with scaled creatures as sand dunes whisper my name with every hot breath. The Badlands of South Dakota will hope I come backpacking through prairies to watch precious bison roam. California Redwood trees and I will stand side by side as friends. Yosemite will call me to her cliffs and I will chase waterfalls and sequoia groves until I've seen it all. I ache to explore the terrain that bears my name, the country I call home.

I got an award For being the stupidest young boy With a wax soul And impressionable. I thought I'd find something Nestled here amidst the trees And I did, But in no halls but the hall of god Speaking to me Dancing between the leaves Singing with every whispered breeze And yet when I stepped Past the threshold and into the "real world" I was sold A maniac of utter delinquency. Everybody there Waiting for their turn Auditioning for the favor of hearts They'll never win Can't see Laughing and wondering Reading without comprehension Sticking their *** in the face of the classics Lap dogs licking the milk from Professed ******* Thinking they'll be next Its not resentment-- Is it fair to be bent Towards dollars that've never been spent? All those silly parks Divided from the civilized lands Frontiers of the past Left to be little staging areas For that invisible hand Kids go on spring break Take pictures between the towns Maybe a stop along On the way To Vegas Deep in the desert where it'd **** any other day I cannot escape the unfathomable beauty of that place, Living off the world in a way God said To toil and love the pain In a way nobody does I am guilty of pride and Stuffed like a pie full of anger Cooking it into solid joy And trying hard to scrape the cancerous crust away All the dark sides we avoid But screaming the heat away is good Thermal induction is the name of the game Entropic fizzlements like bubbles in the wind Sublimating all that ever stood. Yet soon enough I'll be born anew And what I leave behind Lifted up Nautoloid shell With a sparkling abalone interior Someone will place on their shelf And think, "I wonder where that thing had been."

Pandemonium seeps, swallows, and creeps like a crawling Virus barreling havoc far beneath the innermost psyche Dispatch the strike, angels discern demons alike, appalling The flight of sparrow's circum to children below Consumed within a thoughtless crow All bold to make haste on an hour's race The final shade seeps under all frontiers A foe abandoned in fear Passing tides in the dead of night Shown troubled to the world's delight Such lonesome calls to a stranger Embark on this journey, my ranger ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

The Unborn Injustice
I heard her thoughts breathe. said, she needed something with Redwood patience to understand why her mind traveled with butterflies searching for Eden. Said, she felt ants inside her dreams carrying away the dead. wondered if there was no limits to how her heart could grow or communicate with anything. I saw her quaking eyes search for a place to land back before the first words that God said. She felt the masterpiece come alive at midnight it spoke beyond all languages, treaded outside of logic, flew outside of time, connected itself with everything alive and spoke to her with a simple grace. Everything is already yours. Your heart is the doorway home. She took a piece of me when she left, left an ice pick for me to play with. Her sensitive nature understood why roots dug down in a quest for warm solace. My heart almost closed forever, I felt the final straw detour me to wasteland. I ran emerald frontiers in her eyes, butterflies landing on my hands their wings stained my eyelids I can't go to sleep without flying through her. my heart headed to the outskirts of Eden imagining how she is Loving her from behind bars Her butterflies never seeking my garden. It almost wilted. Windy wrath almost destroyed it all. I had to search the silence Try to understand myself through a tortured past, I had to tame your tyrant that grew inside my head. I had to bear the weight of impatient voices that I could not repeat to anybody here but the dead already know it, Ones that died by their own hand. I heard her thoughts breathe said, our roots go past the stars hidden in our beating blood is the whisper and light of God.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - TWENTY-FIVE - TOM DALEY
Whispers of heavenly death, murmur’d I hear; Labial gossip of night—sibilant chorals; Footsteps gently ascending—mystical breezes, wafted soft and low; Ripples of unseen rivers—tides of a current, flowing, forever flowing; (Or is it the plashing of tears? the measureless waters of human tears?) I see, just see, skyward, great cloud-masses; Mournfully, slowly they roll, silently swelling and mixing; With, at times, a half-dimm’d, sadden’d, far-off star, Appearing and disappearing. (Some parturition, rather—some solemn, immortal birth: On the frontiers, to eyes impenetrable, Some Soul is passing over.)

Whispers Of Heavenly Death
Dedicated to Sage Free the day Feel the sunlight Fresh and free Peeking from the vines Fresh air fills the lungs As toast finds the plate As eggs meet bacon As a backpack meets a shoulder Fresh and free Is the young day   Off on new adventures Off on old frontiers Off to find friends A new day bursting With energy And charm The sun still low The sun hugging the trees Reaching through the windows Pulling you into a new day

New Day
Stretch me out and count me like clouds Say she is vapour Venom, velvet and vermouth With hair of hazelnut rapture Clutch the moments, clutch the moonbeams Clutch the stretched out skies of cloud and mustard gas sunset Sing she is a child of trauma Supressed in the name of breathing Violence in the name of skin And she is venom, velvet and vermouth She was born to pink salt lakes in the low country With ruby pomegranate eyes And hair of hazelnut rapture Girl with the soul of a thousand pilgrim journeys Girl with the soul of a blackberry bush Girl with the soul of olive trees and sheep meat and oven bread in the fire country Human smiles And other dark things of value She lies like velvet She lies in the name of supressing traumas In the name of breathing She bleeds like a billion stars bleed vapour She is venom and vermouth With hair of hazelnut rapture She is the sum of a thousand pilgrim journeys The prayer of holy rivers in the canyon country The smoke of incense burned by sages The scars of bodies burned by crusaders in mustard gas chambers Goddess of Nuclear energies Red-eyed like ruby pomegranates Like the dewy cauldron of morning When tenuous steps lead bodies down the path of executionary revolution To boarders, frontiers, walls of white-skin scar tissue Sing songs of Babylon in the free country Clutch the moments Clutch your breaths and hold them in broken palms Clutch the tides and teach them Breach your rib-cage, unstitch and return the borrowed bones Melt the metaphoric thrones Breathe backwards in the name of unsupressing traumas In the name of truth Stretch me out and count me like clouds Girl of angel-breath ambition Soul of blackberry bush and smile of splintered terracotta tile Sing your songs Say she is vapour

Only once you reach new frontiers does the human mind decide they want to expand a little more there is only one one love one peace one number that counts when it comes to crunch time and you are lost in the dark where else can you turn to but you? when there is government corruption and manipulaton of information and there is no such thing as a truthful lie expect the worst they say , but come,  one is not the number i'm talking about i'm talking about 0. the halo , the magicians secret . add a 0 to any number and suddenly, it's worth a heck of a lot more. And my dear friends, fellow poets ...weaver of words....minstrels of sound , technicians of language - there is one very , very , very , very subtle thing that i reckon... we know better than any legislation paper or cop with gun to head or bomb dropped or whatever warfare you want to call this is , the ideas in our poems are not always our own, unknowingly... or to some perhaps knowingly we have connected each other to each other string theory using words as dimensions.

Goodnight anthropocentrism— Mitochondria swim in your stardust But Contraverse awakens on the Frontiers of the Valerian Kingdom At the gnarled staff of the Oil Sage Taking root between the Earth’s furrows Springing forth fountains of sweetest Nard The Jewel of Jatamansi emerges glistening green In it the eye of the beholder finds the Seeds of a once forbidden dream Germinating in the juices of this Gem Out of it the silent roar of a thousand fields pressing Aromatic oceans through bursting buds Of Lavender pagodas rapturously trumpeting forth Framed by stacks of soft sweet musky Sage Broad and leathery like elephant’s ears Curtained with a soft cascade of Orange blossom snow The sweet kiss of Neroli on your brow Imbibing the senses with paralyzing pungency Tangling tendrils to heartstrings And pulling us beneath Rosewater pools Floating breathlessly ensconced in a dream Primordial songs whispering wordlessly, “Wake whenever you’re ready . . .”

The Jewel of Jatamansi
Look far beyond your nose Imagine the wording prose your mind recites despite the fights between the lights; Stand-back to back with your enemies And believe that you are safe, A mistake; Craving knowledge of everything from your existence To your beliefs I believed I was falling down the trail And all hail the misguided princess; She's so misguided the North Pole becomes south And the south; Exiting from her mouth With a flow; the beautiful candles of her heart. The beautiful candles of her heart Those that lit stormy fire inside mine Those that lit up the dark pits of something I forgot about, And all about my whereabouts I see the signs of inconclusive doubts Over my forehead, reflected upon people's faces; And eyes look at me with non-empithetical sympathy The symphony of eyelashes flapping over a lost identity. I'm lost. All those spiritual stoppages Are causing my hands to shiver All those figurative speech as she caresses her words Preparing mine to stutter Are making my eyes darken And my faith to dismay; I may, Or may not be the person you want to find But I find you the person I was never looking for Yet I still crave the carves you carve on my hands. The snapping bones of anger; The cracking knuckles of regret; The apprehensions preconceived with the threats; The young man lost his track The young man lost in the wild With ideas even wilder And actions that do not convey his messages For the circles of bees become limits to his being; For the frontiers of fighting lions Become barriers to his block, That upper corner in dying arteries; hidden Way over the Mediterranean seas forgotten, That young man is creating chaotic cancellations, Phones typing messages of hesitation, Brains articulating pieces of his own creation, A salutation be upon my buddy The young fellow who got lost facing everybody, And everybody cheered as they watched; His being stepped on, and heart being stabbed The chats between the minds Become cramps The cramps in his existence become fatal agitation The agitations in his life become psychiatric misinterpretation For he got it all wrong Everyone got it all wrong But does that stop him? Let alone Does that stop all the fake men who built their empires upon forged pillars? Killers, Of characteristics; Followers, Disciples and students To a dark lady Typing her last words of goodbye Over a phone that’s found in her palms Yet lost, In a young girl's heart.

how unlike stars we are! they have been there for longer than the soil under your feet can remember. their timid flicker constant before our eyes, an eternal pattern drawn on the dark skies. while we, ephemeral beings, are born and die, stars, forever above, watch, wise. and yet, as the night falls, as those stars seemingly shine in perfect and close union, in truth, they are most scattered across the infinite Space. while some, as far as can be, are woven into mystical fabric on the frontiers of the Universe others are just within a single galaxy's reach (oh, to stretch my arms above and touch a star's warm fingers!) so when we lay our small heads on the pliant grass and turn our eyes up to the night sky; when we see constellations made from those eternal diamonds of light, in truthful honesty, we see a lie. for stars are, for what it counts, entirely alone. (perhaps we are not so unlike stars, after all.)

eternal solitude
(Creation to the end of an Ice Age) © 2008 (Jim Sularz) Sun’s first rise over life-less skies, the earth cools, and the waters pool - the sun burns East to West. And the planet’s broken plates quake and move. Lightning strikes, the waters stir, and the bonds of life begin to churn - the sun burns East to West. And the waters swirl in a living urn. Strange aquatic things, they all evolve, some spiny finned, start to crawl - the sun burns East to West. And they slowly stretch ***** and tall. Eons past where the cunning reign, a savage place, with small sized brains - the sun burns East to West. And the dead surrender their twisted remains. An asteroid streaks from the sky, blocks out the sun, cause most to die - the sun burns East to West. And all in the blink of time’s eye. Footprints in stone, some on mountainsides, make it clear that rocks don’t lie - the sun burns East to West. And the fossils always tell the time. Eons past and eons more, the fittest evolves, and man is born - the sun burns East to West. And the early brain, once fast asleep, begins to dream and mourn. The first million years, man lives in fear, learns to hunt, invents the spear - the sun burns East to West. And migrates to claim the vast frontiers. Tools from stone and controlled fire, creates language, that shake man’s empire - the sun burns East to West. And splash cave paintings with human inspire. Life-times of hunter-gathering, and story-telling in the dark - the sun burns East to West. And a world spins with a million hearts. The earth starts to warm, the oceans rise, and the waters shape the lands - the sun burns East to West. And when an Ice Age ends, then comes, the Age of Man.

**This land, where we can roam free Boundaries have been set up Mapped by the pen of a cartographer Continents drifted apart, tectonic shifts Ripping across the land mass The mightiest of mountains turned to rubble Giving rise to new landmarks The fury spewing fire, the molten lava Created fissures along the ground Rivers of fire flowing across the veins of Earth Resentment of nature marched to new frontiers Earth transformed itself, to a new avatar New landscapes and greenery adorned it In the coronation ceremony of the usurper Commandeering life - forms to a new future We are living that dream for centuries Without an inkling of the next rebellion** © Amitav (Radiance)

Our Land
they say god is perfect. that holds true for me, too. no concept contains me in totality. Stirner wrestled with the undefinable: an indefatigable Unique, anarchic, lacking category. Camus perhaps said it best, "i rebel, therefore i exist." i strive to personify resistance. i find the answers in harmony with Counterparts, defining *The Difference Between Hell and Home*: "i am what i am and i am an outcast." an outlaw, a nobody akin to Nietzsche, returning infinitely— stretched like so many grains of sand on time's flat surface, orbiting eternally around the creative Nothing at half-past 3:00 in the morning. a singularity, deconstructing Derrida's Différance. a nomad on the margins, wandering aimlessly, roaming perpetually with Deleuze and Foucault, an astronaut arranged along the endless frontiers of an ever-expanding cosmos. Vonnegut recognized the periphery affords a radical view to the few who choose to embrace that which cannot be Known. a zero-sum game between Death and me, staving off manic-depressive ennui if only momentarily.

what lies in the vast frontiers of space scientists have pondered on this very thing they've boarded rockets to check out the place is there only little green men a gleaming at the far reaches of the celestial plain scientists have pondered this very thing inquiring earth minds taking the interplanetary train so many worlds yet to be well investigated at the far reaches of the celestial plain can this orb support life and can it be populated a glimpse of what is out there seen on Mars so many worlds yet to be investigated they reckon man might dwell upon a galaxy of stars an upbeat community of scientists filled with joy a glimpse of what is out there seen on Mars Earthlings with state of the art technology to employ an upbeat community of scientists filled with joy what lies in the vast frontiers of space they've boarded rockets to check out the place

we'd wake up and play with magic like any other game of pretend bath towel tied into a cape we'd approach an empty plastic top hat wand in hand   we were tapping into an ancient power that we barely even knew we've played a superhero, Sub-zero and now, a miracle worker there was nothing we couldn't do   we'd climb trees to the summit branches as high as we'd dare to go we'd lower the hoop and dunk with ease alley-oops, 360s sometimes in slow-mo   there was nothing but room to grow and explore frontiers of the imagination seized on roller blades with plastic swords   we'd tie skateboards to the back of bicycles and Jamaican bobsled down the street we were free ninjas in the 90s off to adventures no one sees   we'd front roll down hills like hedgehogs we'd scrape knees we'd footrace to the stop sign and back to pretend we're going faster we'd kick clouds of dust in our tracks   we'd steal bricks from the neighbor's garden and throw them into lakes to see the splash we'd throw pebbles to see how high they'd go or paper planes from the top of the staircases one time, we jumped off: it was a dare we did it though   we unscrewed the air cap from the tires of our enemies' parked cars we clapped back with super soakers the block was truly ours   we'd play until the streetlights came on with more discoveries left unseen and in the shadows while sleeping we'd play catch with our dreams

I’m thinking about my real identity! I’m looking at the sky.. Without frontiers and any plan, I’m sailing and I don’t know why…! With peace in mind! We can have English, Dutch friends! Why not alien friends? We should stop religious fight.. Old candles in European Light! No identity cards, no passports! We want to be free... We want to live in a full democracy! Connect with us in Ecademy... Warm Regards! Victor Marques

No identity CARDS
Poets are writers of infinite truths Shamanistic travelers exposing fear Paper and pen prophets rousing the obtuse Quasi-harbingers of new frontiers Politicians and their paid speechwriters Lifetime career prostitutes of lies Cyrano de Bergerac shysters Writing pledges they will deny Poetic outlaws of verse redefining Societal boundaries of acceptance Brigands of rhyme rocking the boat Poems with intended disturbance Every society needs outlaws Rebuff the system Fight back Or Withdraw

Brigands Of Rhyme
the revolution, or should I say, the American one, was such a beautiful time because it was last era were hope persisted in this world though they knew times were not getting better, they knew that their children, or the child’s children, or the child’s children’s offspring, would one day inherit the beauty of this world those men in ***** wigs and uncomfortable cotton could believe like few others in history sure, some might say the french, in their coup d’état, had as much or more vigor as their American peers, but as I recall, their fervor would turn on them and consume them like a fire burning out of control some too argue that the generations following the fathers, those trekking out the western frontiers, those going off to the civil, the first, and the second world wars were just as brave and yes they were brave they were brave indeed but they were not filled with hope they did not expect to win they expected to die they expected to fail to lose, to go down in history as nothing and that was enough for them but not Washington not Jefferson, not Madison, not Adams, not Hamilton, not Franklin. they weren’t in it for history, they were in it for the future for the history of the day after tomorrow they fought because they knew they could win until today this optimism had died until today, when I, looking into the future and seeing nothing, still smile, there was no one who truly understood that life is not about living it is about the lives that go on living after you

I am on your chest of fighting pearls Like a rack of phobias hovering over you I push my eight legs hard between your ribs As not only your pupils dilate Your ribcage is wide open for me To feast merciless on your frighted heart I watch you with my thousand hooded eyes As you arch your back with eyes closed You hate so many things Like morning breath and crumbs But I will push this acrid vapour into you As I press your back deep through the floor I will take you there, come with me Where you cannot go, by yourself Don’t kneel before me, get the **** up and face As we both push on to unpaced frontiers...
