"fronts" poems
who lit the candles placed so eloquently behind purple rock? that sculpted radiance and chapel grace wound in a chosen defined way down the spiral stone stairs street cars dawdle alongside the packer slew biding merchants shuffle their wares as the front man and pock face sing their sullen holy blues cut jazz echoes over the accompanying gabble and drone incense and haze pour from a lower trap door sack fish, truffles and splendid crafts shine inside the stained glass fronts a wide mouth snapper with a bloated tongue greets the morning tide (not camera shy in the least!) the fish traps and beaneries bring life to the flourishing causeway hula hoops and circle ballers join the cobaine stage favoured rogues and mac jacks speak easy of the big daddy beth’s triple by pass taking firm hold on tricky **** and the nutcracker maze ways, taggers and lost tunnels of cu chi strike a nerving blow a poised finger man belts out his tune (with a sniff sock and iterating glare) his nosey neighbors cut artisan bread (with a white wine and jelly spread) midwives push forward for an afternoon toddle and stroll

we like to shower afterwards (I like the water hotter than she) and her face is always soft and peaceful and she'll watch me first spread the soap over my ***** lift the ***** squeeze them, then wash the **** "hey, this thing is still hard!" then get all the hair down there,- the belly, the back, the neck, the legs, I grin grin grin, and then I wash her. . . first the **** I stand behind her, my **** in the cheeks of her *** I gently soap up the **** hairs, wash there with a soothing motion, I linger perhaps longer than necessary, then I get the backs of the legs, the *** the back, the neck, I turn her, kiss her, soap up the ******* get them and the belly, the neck, the fronts of the legs, the ankles, the feet, and then the **** once more, for luck. . . another kiss, and she gets out first, toweling, sometimes singing while I stay in turn the water on hotter feeling the good times of love's miracle I then get out. . . it is usually mid-afternoon and quiet, and getting dressed we talk about what else there might be to do, but being together solves most of it for as long as those things stay solved in the history of women and man, it's different for each- for me, it's splendid enough to remember past the memories of pain and defeat and unhappiness: when you take it away do it slowly and easily make it as if I were dying in my sleep instead of in my life, amen.

The Shower
Another silent mid-Fall afternoon Icy raindrops slash into my neck The forecast calls for falling thumbtacks soon One thin umbrella folding Just 18 feet to the front step With champagne acquainted But forgot how to sip it I slurp it down, eager, 'til I sit soaked and dripping In time, fevered minds will lower ears made for hearing under waves of migraines as mighty storm fronts are nearing So I close down the bars and stumble home under awnings Just to search for your name among newspaper cuttings I've read the whole issue and I've frowned over headlines put it down Now, soaked or dry, I've got only time I've wasted so much of it losing my mind I'm blind in the rain that now sticks in my hide and they were right-- The forecast called for this squall to last all night Another lonely mid-Fall morning walk I follow gangs of specters in their steps And, in the crunching gravel, ghosts will talk November winds come howling The second I leave my front step The flavor's familiar It comes back every morning, when sunlight and sparrows ignore tornado warnings So the gales pick up strength and a small bird's bones are hollow The clouds lay oceans down setting many sips to swallow "So goodnight." I depart, but circle back in my wanderings I'll always wind up here--shaky, ash-faced and yawning I've read this before it's printed on poor paper in red ink I can't say why I'm still walking by Those other front doorsteps that I never try The thick thumbtack rain stopped but I can't stay dry the ghosts were right-- But if I find your name I might stop by.

Be gentle with us. please. or not it's your call but keep in mind that we as poets we feel too strong which is not to say that that is wrong we don't ease into love, we quickly fall we love like we're dying we live like we're small but in our minds. in our minds we are flying we feel everything at once you wouldn't think it by looking looking at our normal fronts a disguise, a charade but prey don't believe a masquerade a poet can be but anyone existing silently a poet can be but everyone existing violently we all make up stories we're all acting to a degree so things aren't so different no not so different you and me we notice the quirks we notice the nothings if you meet a poet then you should believe you should know that we we love what we see and appreciate all forms of beauty for to us imperfect is lovely perfect doesn't exist we have those markings on our wrist of all the awful places we've been to we kissed we've kissed the devil when we went to hell and back again so now that you have been informed that a poets heart is easily scorned knowing we feel deeply knowing we feel more more than we really should I've warned we don't just love a person when we fall we love their whole world we love it all and when we're hurt it is hard to trust and thus please. Be gentle with us.

be gentle with us
Progress is wasted here the high street draped in uniform glass fronts why shouldn't we play our bugle to rebuke this shard ? yet in a corner there's still a market street refusing the final nail, there's a shoe, bakery, cycle and jewellery shop, in our hearts we will wear  pride to headline the clarion call and shed anger at being accused of, carrying congress with the past at our coffee stall.

Victoria Street
Rugby town, of landlocked streets, of wasted field and barefaced retreat; I miss you now, in absence of a friend, I miss you now, in the verse that I lend. Suburb grove, of sleepy mist, oh, battered housewife, oh blastocyst; you will remain in place forevermore, and forevermore, you'll become a bore. Holding cell, of sporting fame, you stole my dreams but gave me my name; I think of you: a multi-storey view, of happy faces, of which there is few. Still, my town, in debt's nightgown, the shop-fronts vacate, we're feeling down; these streets are poisoned with names of the past, each memoir to teach: nothing's built to last Rugby town, of weary folk, the private school is a private joke; I miss you now, as I sleep through the day, I miss the old walks, and all that you'd say. Old market town, the aftermath, of British summer, suicide bath; of open mics and closing the shutters, of waking graveyards, sleeping in gutters. Hopeless climbs, of dreary times, of childhood state and nursery rhymes; each time that I come home, I know you less, becoming a stranger in my redress. Clock tower, chiming, chiming loud, singing for history long and proud; of Rupert Brooke and the question: “what if?” What if I was born to some lover's tiff? To some large and friendless town, to some body of land, which I drown; to some active place of pain unknown, to some place that I'll not gauge that I've grown, oh Rugby dear, stay with me, let me live on the periphery; and although this town seems terribly dull, it could be worse – I could live in Hull.

If I should have a son, Instead of mom, he's gonna call me Support That way he knows, no matter what happens, I'll be there to hold open the heavy doors. And I'm gonna paint the solar systems on the fronts of his game controllers So he has to learn the entire universe before he can say "I'll school you in that!" And he's gonna learn that this life will bury you Deep Underground Wait for you to claw your way out just to throw dirt in your eyes But not being able to see which way is up is the only way to remind your pupils how much they enjoy the beauty of this earth And there is hurt here, that cannot be fixed by alcohol or drugs So when he realizes Superman isn't coming, I'll make sire he doesn't have to wear the cape all by himself "And sweetie" I'll tell him, "dont let your head get so big" I know that trick, I've seen it a million times, you're just looking to impress that pretty girl on the cheer squad who picks on other kids to adjust her own self worth Or better yet, date the girls getting picked on, then dump her to adjust YOUR self worth. But I know he will anyways So I'll always keep an extra supply of "I taught you betters" and "Treat girls rights" Even though all boys learn that at a young age... Okay, most boys don't, But that's what moms are for They'll teach you to be amazing husbands if you let them. When he opens his hands to catch, and drops the ball When the girl he likes says no to going on that date with him when it feels like the world is crashing in Those are the days he has all the more reason to say thank you, because there is nothing more beautiful than the way the sun refuses to stop kissing the horizon, no matter how many hours it must spend spinning away. And yes, on a scale of one to greatest, moms pretty much know it all But I want him to know that this world will throw curveballs that I can't see And he can't be afraid to put on his mitt and catch it himself "And sweetie" I'll tell him Remember your momma is a queen, and your poppa is a king and you are the boy with big eyes and a willing heart who never stops trying Your aren't big yet, but don't stop growing And when they finally hand you heartache, when they slip peer pressure and sin under your door and give you hand outs on street corners of druggies and defeat. you tell them that they really outta meet Your Mother

in baler where the sun shines and the waves visit is where freedom bathes under the blue skies in the seaside realm of surfing simple hotels line the shore where you can run to the beach fronts after settling in little white rooms, and in the blue water wait tanned, youthful surfing instructors-- local boys of the province who've grown up with the salt water as their playground. get on your surfboard and join the waters, "mag-timing ka sa alon,"— "wait for the waves", the instructors say and lie down on your stomach on the surfboard, and when you do get the waves you ride them fearlessly, you are lifted, invincible, by the hands of the philippine sea. and if you don't surf, the smooth sands are there, calling you to lie around under the seaside sun. and when night falls and the waves are reckless, you can sit on the sand with a bonfire and some drinks— watch the stars with the sound of the tides as your music and do not fear; for in the morning the waves will come rushing back to the shores of Balers to give anyone freedom as they always do.

Clambering and clawing Grasping hooks, crannies a crown of thorns flowering purple red blood bright fluorescent she wore her designer nails to the summer ball strapless and holding up her rounded dignity spoken in a plunging neckline She flowered was deflowered that twilight under a silver orb whispering ocean fronts dropped off at her starlight home sealed that memory with a bougainvillea kiss of immense sensuality and down the drive thinking how beautiful she was in making memories. years later I still remember the look of that velvet sky and the nails that scoured a language on my back.

Again the time has come for all to gather round the fire, "That time again", we say, while we assess the money drained, The looks of disappointment from the ***** with stupid attire, And truth will leak from drink fuelled mouths, with need to be restrained. Your mum is singing drunkenly, while flirting with the vicar, And dad is out the back sneaking a joint with cousin victor, The dog is ******* aunt Jemima's artificial leg, And someone just had a turkey fart,the kind that makes you sicker. The christmas lights have fused again, so grandad's on the roof, Sheer will power keeps him up there,and of course, martini vermouth, Grandma's lost her teeth,and someone screams near the eggnog, They're sent flying across the room and land in the fire on a log, You feel your patience slipping as the pandamoniem mounts, With thankless moans of "Oh well, its the ****** thought that counts", And not forgetting Glenn, invited by your mum, but why? So you and he can marry, and honeymoon in Hawaii. With no idea that Glenn is gay, i guess the joke's on her, I mean, what straight guy wears his y fronts entirely made from fur?? The night draws to a close,as bitter, crying family leave, And relief is all too short, as there's still new years eve!!!

The meaning of "holiday"
“but if you have to move your best friend’s body… …you’re on your own.” Your best friend dies Before your eyes Somehow stays alive Then what? ***** salt-licked hair Brittle and frayed by medicine World’s unfathomable weight Trembling beneath the Wisdom Tree Her whole being crumples (arrugar) But her life-force remains intact Body bone Running on spirit reserves Why is that? She stands and cries Staring into ether I sit Wringing my hands Her tears strike the ground In tree-gecko unison ''' Pacific parasite super-strains Blood coated throat The full range of abuse’s color on all fronts for decades Attempted assaults, **** Dengue Giant Centipede venom to the skull But worst of all Rootlessness and fear the monkey on her back had a monkey on its back and was smoking a cigarette ''' Have you ever seen someone Completely broken? Corpsic shell of a woman Gaunt, wan in the tropics “Don’t put your trust in walls… …walls will only crush you when they fall” Brick-bludgeoned body The shrapnel lay like Sun scorched Novice-woven baskets At her feet But now she can see And breath Real breath ''' Genocide’s a ***** yes. Africans seem fatalistic to Americans Baby boy body, Grandpa human- shield “They’re your babies” Short-lived, yes But now they have peace Witnesses still weave the jungle What do you do with a friend who’s Seen real atrocity?

Ophelia, Ophelia, voracious daydreamer, how dare you upset this delicate orbit. your hands were the kiln for my sloppy and misshapen mind, but that was nothing, relatively, compared to the way your eyes reflected lost souls. my dear, it's a catastrophe. now when the moon chides me, and the stars reek of your smile, I run my hands across the fronts of empty dresses that you wore years ago. Ophelia, Ophelia, I recall the way your eyes shone like the peak of madness and how your shoulder blades touched in a subtly avian manner. how simple are the remnants of your existence, of your melancholia, I cling to them like a ***** to touch- and I know they will bring you no closer. stale shadows haunt my lingering eyes; where you should be standing I see only lost time. Ophelia, Ophelia, smoldering star in my hindsight, stone in my chest- I'm sad to see you go.

A star of blood you fell from the point of the hypodermic singing of fabulous beasts & spitting out the *** of vowels Your poems explode in the mouth like torrents of ***** on a night full of zebras & bootheels Your ghost still cruses the river- fronts of midnight assignations in a world of dead sailors carrying armfuls of flowers in search of your unmarked grave Your body no sanctuary for bees, Death was your lover in a rain of broken obelisks & rotting orchids In the tangled rose of a single heartbeat I offer you the shadow of a double profile, two heads held together at the bridge of the nose by a nail of ***** smoke in the long night's dreaming & memory of water poured between glasses In my mailbox I find a letter from a dead man & know that for every shadow given one is taken away Yet subtraction is only a special form of addition and implies a world of hidden intentions below a horizon of lips thin as your fingernail sprouting mysteries in the earth … The ace of spades dealt from the bottom of the deck severs the hand which retrieves it & the eyes of Beauty sewn together peer over a black lace fan in the ****** sunlight of a Spanish morning without horses The Belt of Orion is loosened before you as you remove the silver fingerstalls from your mummy hands & kneel to plunder the nightsky in a shower of bitter diamonds. (Somewhere under a blanket someone weeps for a lover.) Peace to your soul & to your empty shoes in the dark closets of kings with no feet!!!

Doors, where my heart was used to beat So quickly, not as one that weeps I come once more; the city sleeps; I smell the meadow in the street; I hear a chirp of birds; I see Betwixt the black fronts long-withdrawn A light-blue lane of early dawn, And think of early days and thee, And bless thee, for thy lips are bland, And bright the friendship of thine eye; And in my thoughts with scarce a sigh I take the pressure of thine hand.

Kindness is not nice. ‘Nice’ is soft and inoffensive ‘Nice’ is careful and non-assertive ‘Nice’ is easy and effects no change she’s cotton wool trying to soften the pain but not stuffed tight, just resting on the surface ready to be blown away or pressed under a muddy boot of disinterest ‘Nice’ is a damp whisper a mouse cowering in the corner hoping you will blink and miss her lest she attract your notice lest she presume too much and cause a whisker of offence Kindness is not like that – Kindness pushes in, quick and nimble a hero with no mask, unasked unexpected, dodging the turmoil leaving nothing unsaid and little undone in her pursuit of creating a counter-disruption Kindness defies convention Kindness carefully aims her weapons of choice and advances relentless and regardless of any and all obstacles in her way Kindness perseveres all the love-long day Kindness doesn’t delay Kindness is gleeful for the chance of invasion ready to disarm with expert compassion with her regiments of patience armed to the teeth with gracious placing tanks of good faith on all fronts Kindness confronts Courage is her currency, boldness her language, trust and hope are her passports to lands long unexplored happily wearing all-weather clothing for any and all unexpected storms Kindness transforms Kindness weakens all defenses and challenges all camouflaged pretenses Kindness pours itself out to fill unhealed wounds and on shrapnel-seeded battlefields she - blooms Kindness is not 'nice' Kindness isn’t in this for the likes Kindness bites She’s a take-on-all-comers, undefeated delight Kindness never bails from the fight never fails, never takes flight Kindness is nothing casual, nothing incidental This Kindness is elemental She is Avengers-Assemble, End-Game-level monumental Kindness is not 'nice'.

Disturbing Behavior
They are silent and beautiful, gorgeous in in the white halo, cemented in a beautiful terrazzo, baring the names of fallen soldiers, the European soldiers that fell in Wars; second and first and the heinous silent wars, i hope this is why they have a proverb; white sepulchre, only baring the white dead, only chiefs but no dead Indian. Common wealth graveyards are all over in Africa, in India , panama , Latin America and europe, the active fronts in which the allies fought ****** they are beautifully placed in silently posh areas, in langata when in Nairobi, in Mbaraki when in Mombasa, in Matisi when in Kenya, In Namusungui when in Lodwar, They bear horizontal silence with white names engraved on their beautiful face shouting the glory of European empires, which provoked the evil sense in the heart of the king's horseman in Kenya, in the city of Nairobi, to steal the graveyard lands, he made them his urban home with an uppish courtyard, for him the dead white neighbours are better than in-corruption. I walk around the commonwealth graveyards, in the all quarters of erstwhile British empire, looking for the names of African soldiers , who died in thousands fighting for the queen the royal bloodied woman of England;Elizabeth, Looking for the sons of Ethiopia who stood with the second duce Benito son of Mussolini, fighting for Hitler,for Shintos in the European war, i have seen no name of any African, I have not seen Wandabwa wa masibo, who was conscripted into the first world war, Along with his father Biket wa Khayongo, Biket back after seven years in 1918, carrying Wandabwa's Belt, Wandabwa died in the field, Where was he buried, he is nowhere Not anywhere among the soldiers in cemeteries, I have not seen Nasong'o wa Khayongo, who was conscripted in 1940, to fight against ****** he was conscripted on his nuptial evening, even before he had had the first *** with his new wife, he went away crying, he never came back, his name is nowhere in the graves the commonwealth graves that bare names of the fallen, Fallen soldiers, but they all bare white names in the black world. you come to Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Malagasy,Egypt, whatever the geographies of Africa, and you keep keen, you hear someone is called Mr. Keya, or Madam Keya, or you come to Bungoma county of Kenya, you meet a man that is of the circumcision age group, Known as Bakikwameti Keya, Bakinyikewi Musolini, Keya is subverted sound for Kings african rivals; KAR the African sound for KAR is Keya, in reference to mass conscription of Africans into the KAR, to fight ****** A child born during that time is Keya, A man circumcised during the time is in the age group of Keya, A simple lesson in regard to our people, taken away to fight the colonial power and left to died and rot away in the bush with a simple courtesy for ceremonial burial, that come along with the death of soldiers, who passed away in the battle field.

Closely relevant to the ideas we shared, they bring nothing to the table when battle is on the fronts. Gloating freely with no chance of a successful endeavor and after everything that's come to surface, your perception reflects which light within grows stronger. As one, you are nothing. Together, we will rise beyond expectations.

Expectations
A Cold Affair She'd been  the queen from the moment she was born everybody felt her. She knew it and at some point became sure of it, but nothing lasts forever in the circle of nature all four siblings got their turn and every one of them brought their own drama with them. She was the cruelest of the four because when she came around everything in it's different existence had their mixed reaction towards her. Some animals would hibernate and humans would almost do the same but for them it was a part time thing specially when her moods were up. She would make them feel her every single move they would get cold, change their usuals clothes and trade them for their warmer versions which usually stay stuffed in the deepest parts of their closets. They'd put on scurves, boots, track suits to hand gluves since even their hands would nearly freeze she was one hell of a cold women. As her circle was nearing the finish line on her last run she would become the meanest. To be honest she was never cruel or mearnt to torment, being cold was the only way she knew how to show love and by the cold breeze and a wave of cold fronts it was her only trying to be remembered as another sibling was about to take their turn. She would over express herself and yes she would be felt as it was winters last goodbye. Swoo

A Cold Affair
Everything has become so different in a couple of months, I have become the most beloved on all fronts. But the mere thought of getting married, Gives me goosebumps. My heart starts pounding, And my body becomes numb. But just to become Mrs. from Miss, I have to forego on all these? Life would be so much different, And every move so uncertain. Responsibilities that I never took as a daughter, Would be forced upon me, as a daughter-in-law. My complaining mother will have nothing to nag about, Seeing her daughter as punctual as a clock. All these thoughts fills me up with anxiety, That now I have to take care of a new set of relatives and a SOCIETY. Now everyone would expect me to become the nicest, But why they don't understand? I am still Daddy's little princess. Yeah i know, overthinking won't help, And even if i make any mistake, he willl be there to weld.

Journey from Miss to Mrs.
I’m losing grip on deeper thoughts, I wish to stand on war torn fronts, I turn away from all I’ve fought. I cannot mask my clear remorse, Un-satiated hungry fear. I must leave this to run its course, My dusty bones are crumbling here. I am a force to all I love, A fearful storm that leaves no trail, A burden they cannot hold up, My storm, it carries hell and hail. Slipping back into the sea, My mind is lost inside of me.

Stormy sonnet
Give a Centimeter, taken is a Light-Year. Ask for an Inch, you're lucky to get a Centimeter. Buy an Ounce, get a Gram. Sell a Gram, taken is an Ounce. Corporations are the ****** dealers of modern society: Subsidized and Multi-Faced Financial fronts for the Military-Industrial-Propaganda Complex. They seek our cognitive tranquilization. They seek our placification. They seek our pacification. They seek our inurement. They seek our inurnment. They're in it for their own profit and that of their friends, as well as the perpetuation of sociopolitical-economic stratification; not the happiness of the customers, or anything so ******* quaint. - "Satisfaction Guaranteed" doesn't mean **** in this materialistic world. A corporation saying 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' is like Monsanto saying it's milk is Organic; A paper thin lie designed to get your money out of your hands and into their coffers forever. Of course, their "Satisfaction" is "Guaranteed"; they have our money now, and all we have useless, expensive toxic waste. (Literally and figuratively.) The Swinepeople love that **** of theirs to roll around in. The overwhelming nature of our Crapitiolism is underwhelmingly superficial. - "Time to bring it down again. Don't just call me pessimist; try and read between the lines. I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend." -Tool, Aenema

Mass Placification [Satisfaction Guaranteed]
Dear Night; The day breaks like a child's neck, And there she is - Like a fresh sand hills beckoned seductively By childish poetry that Rings off the fingertips like marshmallows Burnt from too much ***** A cradle erupts: Two deaths turning into one, A turning sensation of philosophers timid to experience We are what? We are the writhing fiends caught on By electricity sought upon by The high priests of a no man's land Billy the Kid Tragic care giving fiends telling tales Of naturality that grow like figs neath virgins And we share the fragrance of foreigners Dancing neath' their dead bodies for we Are the store fronts of the epileptic rich Sharing nothing, we forgive the dead angels that Share in nothing but their own salvation And we the nation hold their hands as they are handed Their medals that shine and beat against innocent Sun where we - Good Humans - will always feel inferior I take thee for my own prisoner Let's go and check out the sun for mine own I said I was having sun...asleep Mine own mind was bent, crooked, doomed Warranted evil will of course be put to light Teller tell me what I wish to know You tell me the secret You wish to hold, oh' you wish to keep We are the children you asked for But you are so unwilling up accept But the press is something that is intangible They are spread spearers that are accepted as they are: A good german; a fair dutchman; a funny Chaplin; Genius moving with insecure marijuana. But she presses her own soul on the glass Never lasting - a pure bread horse There she stands, like an egyptian statuette incarnate Breaking through the clouds like a pillar Bent only for salvation and glory A cool informant next to Hemingway that breaks The next vinyl that's hot mixed with devil sweat Someone breathes something on my neck and I'm soon To wonder what the next place I need to be is So...I wonder...Myself is the one to take care of this mess? Here we are - stagnant - like a tombstone, Wondering what we are meant for and wondering Where we are not supposed to go. We have our labels. We have our names. And, yes, we have our jobs that were Given to us by companies that have no face, Only a name and yet we obey... Too push a confidence you have to ask me What I wish to know for the assignment that no one cares about After I get what people will listen too What the truth is a very thing I love the hash that beeps like a dead hyena on the road side Howling like a lost lover without someone to love

*Reflections of Paris this morning , for all the inhabitants of the world , especially those inspired by beautiful works of art and architecture  ! Those fortunate enough to have dined in world class eateries on cuisine prepared by Master Chefs , marveled over the downtown skyline high atop prominent monuments ! Impassioned lovers perusing her avenues , window shopping store fronts , boutiques along famous boulevards ! Senior couples recalling their yesteryears with great joy , frolicking , happy children playing in parklands , feeding songbirds with euphoria and curiosity , strolling walkways along the riverbank at Dusk with great wonderment and personal reflection The poet and poetess , musician and thespian , ballet dancer and street performer .. To lovers young and old , the continued hope of gaiety and splendor at every turn ! She is lovely indeed , the Queen of all that is beautiful on this Earth* ..
