South American Gymnast Asks For Forgiveness
She says something but I wasn't listening I was feeling her ******* with my eyes Then she points to something Oh , my ! What a gorgeous *** I could see both of my big hands Cradling her most perfect buns Then she's got legs of an Olympic gymnast So thick , firm and succulent Her long brown hair smells so good I want to take a swim in it "You haven't heard a word I said !" She says with an air that's foul "I'm sorry," I say ,"but I couldn't hear you . Your body language was way too loud."

Body Language
A girl and a boy pick their way across the snow-wrecked parking lot, holding hands even if they have to stretch to reach. She’s laughing, an arm out slightly for balance, like a gymnast. They come closer together as they reach a spot that is snow free, brushing arms, then the inevitable happens. The boy steps in the cold snow slush; trying to pretend his canvas shoes aren’t soaked through. The girl laughs, covering her mouth; hiding her amusement at his misfortune. Their mouths move through quick conversation, the words inaudible. They don’t really matter though, He’ll get home and peel off his damp socks and remember her yet again. The laugh that escaped her lips before she could control it, the cold hearted canvas that failed to provide adequate protection, and the way he smiled and continued walking, just to hold her hand.

Cold Hearted Canvas: Part 2
Words tattooed her thighs. Chocolate hair fell in her eyes. Muscle queen stomped gymnastick, round silver poles. She was no stripper, but an athlete for tips and hand shakes and bills in her cracking her face, *her face must be cracking* to ass-grabbing lions, prowling LA's city sierra bored. I couldn't imagine Queen Courtney crying. But upside down, floating disco lights exposed pursed face shows. She girated sex-lined hips for tips, not ego. Splits and tricks choking chuckling girls saluting her routine, tossing one's, wishing they were ten 0's. She looked magnificant. I asked her if she was a gymnast. She said something like that, eyes fixed on the sleek floor, strong arms chilled by the cold — men with thick wallets and no home. So I gave her my coat.

Muscle Queen Courtney
I break my back again; a gymnast I never was, scoring a 6.5, never a perfect ten, putting myself through hell because being flexible for your needs has always been at the top of my priorities. but you never were a chiropractor and my desires were never even considered as a factor when you chose your next endeavor so I just keep bending backwards for you, nearing my demise as the life drains from my eyes and my face turns a deep shade of blue.

A short and an earlier popular poem of mine. Hope you like it! Thanks, - Raj, New Delhi.        THE SURF-RIDER ! See him riding gallantly the crest of waves, With dexterity and poise and flowing grace! He rises to descend, to rise once more, As the waves keep rolling towards the shore! Like those surfs the Rider continues his mellifluous dance , Be it in England, in Spain or in France; Riding high on waves as if in a trance! The wind churns up the waves as it rises and swells, As the Rider manoeuvers his wake-board riding those crests before it breaks ! Like a gymnast he executes strong cutbacks - to reverse his turn, His spirit dominate as the waves rise and churn! He did take his time to perfect his art , Having loved the sea  and the surf from the very start! He learnt to live in moments just like those dancing waves, Floating on their crests as his blood within raves! Those surfs like musical notes rise up and fall, Where some surfs are short and others tall ! Like a philharmonic conductor par-excellence, He commands those waves with his skilful presence! Friends, riding on Time’s moments is no mean art, But like the Surf-rider one must make a gallant start !                                           -Raj Nandy, New Delhi

THE SURF RIDER!
59 A little East of Jordan, Evangelists record, A Gymnast and an Angel Did wrestle long and hard— Till morning touching mountain— And Jacob, waxing strong, The Angel begged permission To Breakfast—to return— Not so, said cunning Jacob! “I will not let thee go Except thou bless me”—Stranger! The which acceded to— Light swung the silver fleeces “Peniel” Hills beyond, And the bewildered Gymnast Found he had worsted God!

A little East of Jordan
Take my hand to continents only known in the books, the blue maps on tiny tables sat in stacks ready for the lesson on Mexico, or thereabouts- third this week because the timetable is weak, poorly thought through and cobbled together out of half-dressed evenings in the lounges of teachers; ones once loved by the master and mistresses, leaders of the well dressed and caretakers. Take my feet and walk with them, balancing on borders separating language and currency, the gymnast's beam looking out over the forestry, its taller trees than you and me standing upon toes tipping down towards the urgent ground, urgently warning to stay upright and stick around, with her holding your hand.

Board games, card games your games, my games, I can't get enough. Checkers, Chess, Stratego, Battleship, Clue and Risk require such strategy and a taste of boldness. For Twister and the Slip-n-Slide, you need flexibility and dare. Monopoly, Ultimate Frisbee and Slaughter Ball all require a good amount of aggression, where Senet, Operation and Connect Four only need clever patience. For Jenga and Topple, you need the skill of a gymnast. Rummy, Gin, Go Fish, Blackjack and War, you need only an opponent. Now, go play! Written By: Andrew D. Robertson

Being in gymnastics Is like being in an abusive relationship Everything just tells you "NO" But you still stay From the bars, And how it releases the grips of your hands To the beam, Which only aims to make you wobble and fall off To the vault, Running full speed to it only to make you miss the vault To the floor, Wherein you try to flip and twist only to be defeated by Newton's law of gravity With the stupid scoring system Pointing out every flaw With a deduction Just cause your bra strap is showing jeez! And how we are trained to achieve the unachievable — How every move is supposed to be precise Every muscle squeezed and tight — Perfection And the fact that You'll never actually be the best There's always a harder skill After you've achieved what you may think Is your "hardest" It pushes you To your breaking point Forcing you to be This perfect formed strong gymnast Which pays so much costs Literally blood, sweat and tears It tells you that Every ******* time you fall You just gotta get back up And try again That no matter how much sore you are You gotta **** it up And do it again And again and again and again Until you finally get it But there are these magical moments those little moments of pure happiness When you get a skill you've been working on When coach praises you for your improvement When you get over your fear And when you stand on top of that platform Knowing you gave it your all These moments Are what keep us going These moments Are what we come back for Time after time after leaving the gym saying "I hate training!" There's just something about These moments so special That keeps us wanting more And I will never ever Stop loving gymnastics No matter how many times it hurts me

Love is…. The feeling you get when your stomach suddenly becomes an expert gymnast doing expert somersaults. The sound of your heart beating a million miles a minute echoing the raindrops in a monsoon. The sight of beautiful eyes, the eyes of your dreams, wanting yours to meet theirs. The smell of a man, in all his forms, radiating from his arms wrapped around you. The taste of the future, the texture of happiness, upon the palet of forever

You only live once... More commenly known as YOLO God, I'm such a nerd...Did I actually just say that? ...well that's new... Anyways... Though the song actually doesn't serve this message much good, (but has the capacity to get stuck in my head ALL THE TIME) this message is quite true. I've been spending far too much time moping around about how my dreams never come true and a bunch of **** that means the world to me now and won't matter later.... I know this isn't poetry, but I wanted to get this out and write something that felt personal... Something that felt like me talking...almost... So I realized that we really do only live once (duh) and that I don't want to follow the standard little path we're all started on and brainwashed into thinking leads to success. I don't want to have a ton of money but hate what I do. Really, I'd rather just be happy. When I'm older, I want to look back at my life and be proud of myself. I want to look back and think that I lived a happy life. So I know I'm young. I know that 20 years from now I won't remember the cold winter night at 2:17 am that I wrote this. I won't remember why I had a crush on that one boy in 8th grade. But, I will remember being happy, or more commenly unhappy and I don't like being unhappy, no one does. Something's wrong and I think it's time to stop acting like it's not. So yeah, I'm young. I've got a long road behind me and an even longer one ahead. I've got a lot of choices and mistakes to make. I've got a lot of things to fix. I've got a pile of homework to catch up on, and a couple thousand ideas to write down. It used to be when I grow up, I want to be a doctor. An astronaut. A figure skater. A singer, A gymnast, A doctor, President, And so on, But at this point, I want to be happy.

Ascent The narrow passage arched over the gaping river like a gymnast vaulting backwards, gracing the ground with open palms. I began to climb-- beleaguered on both sides by insecure concrete obstructions; I diverted my attention to the ascending road ahead. I continued to climb, like a slowly chugging roller coaster, meekly scaling up the track with subdued anticipation. I sunk into the road; the sky merged with my pseudo-perpetual path, forming the offing-- where it seemed the road ran eternally into the heavens. I saw blue reach into black in the late afternoon's fading visage. Summit Gliding over the mountainous **** I stared over the horizon where the sun was neatly tucked under the trees-- silhouetted against the dusky sky, looking like fingers reaching up into the void, accumulating like earthly pillows to a heavenly face glowing brightly. I watched a murky blue dip into a wet grass'd green, then a traffic cone orange, followed by the passionate (infra)red of two lovers' entwined, climaxing in a jaundiced yellow-- tucked neatly like a layer of film atop the silhouetted landscape. Descent I wished I had descended the adret of my ascension's perceived perpetual offing, rather than this gritty one-- to dip into the horizon, where I would metamorphose into a dazzling array of colors; feeling myself slowly fade away into the impending night sky. Tucked away for another day, sleeping under the stars, in the fingertipped forests now obliquely reaching into their absent luminescence but relishing the cool night air-- silently waiting for light to soon again breach their gloomy shells. [Enlightenment lingered within the visions of my ascension-- I danced with its transient spirit at the summit-- to be decimated as the car lurched downward into mortality. I saw what could be as I moaned into the fading afternoon's dipping colors. Who knew the descent was the hardest part of humanity?]

Wake up some days like I must be dreanin Feinnin for a state a mind That gives life meaning, Submerged in reasoning, Drowned by thinking I see the white light Or am I dreaming Am I feeling this way for no reason? Subconsciously bleeding Sharing my thoughts like I’m seeding An open book who’s reading A case against life I’m pleading In the game I’m seasoned But if it’s the truth I’m speaking Tell me if I’m dreaming, Tell me if you see them The haters the fakers the tyrants Promoting convictions and violence My people on the Earth are dying Because these demons in disguise stay lying I’m trying **** right trying to cease the pain and the crying Mothers tears who fear their children’s death is near I’m clear in what saying so don’t get my words twisted Like I be having distorted visions , Never That, My dreams are vivid my lyrics descriptive I’m not saying I’m gifted But this truth will make you question religion Will make aggressive from timid God said we are all made in his image Minus mutations from Chemist Our genes don’t flex like gymnast This world’s stress is our limit Without artificial stress we can live it Live life like back in the Garden of Eden Like children at play hope hasn't gone away Conscience fleeting today, Emotions peeling away Drinking whiskey straight I guess this is the way I guess this is the place Life just whisking away Who’ll miss me anyways?

Am I Dreaming?
I'm standing at the kitchen sink The curtains are yellow and white The light is cast on my face As my eyes drag towards you And a laugh tumbles out It's without my blessing And your teeth show from ear to ear One tumble leads to another Like a lady gymnast And now we are tumbling together The slap of your hands They are greeting the kitchen table I'm doubled over with happiness And we just keep meeting Over and over again The linoleum is dented With a million footsteps Where we danced together Twirling like a ribbon girl Where I stirred the batter That made your burnt birthday cake And I'm barren, unable to conceive But, we are each others babies Our crib is each others arms You take me as I am Like the ugly wallpaper In the upstairs bathroom

Lemon Scented Soap on the Kitchen Sink
Two-tongued and long, Slander and smooth, Naked and wicked. Moves hissing, Delivers kisses of death, With tongue flicking. A revered reptile. Lives in dead piles of woods In trees, and deserts, The cold earth's hugger Crawls like nature's gymnast. Never has he ever laughed Never made any friends Never trusted by anybody. Sadly he has a king, Black like me But has no soul he lives in Africa And in parts of Asia He bites and hisses But I don't bite only on my food He doesn't chew. I do, and I swallow. Him, his preys whole I despise him. I have many reasons He social-engineered his ways Around Adam"s woman One day, he ****** eve up With smooth lies What this even implies, Empirically, logically, I really don't know, All I know, I was told! Hold on, I know not From whence it came,   Maybe from the good book, That's a Long and twisted story. It says he used his tongue Not on her as a woman, But to break her home. Adam was a **** fool, To leave that girl home alone. Unannounced, he came in kool Using his double tongues. Was she kinda blind? He isn't even cute. This story I can't refute Yet millions have concurred   I'm not a friend. Not of the story. Of him, the notorious, The venomous The infamous heel biter Once again, I hate him Never was a friend Never will be, Because of that poor woman. He's the First home breaker, Frickin' liar Cursed by God His head to be severed Using a sword, A stone or stick, Day or night, Right or wrong, Because of poor little eve Adam's kids will strike At his tiny little head. Death to the serpent! Eternal condemnation Even if he repents, Strike his elongated body With a double-edged cutlass. Don't you ever feel sorry For this sorry *** Chinese add him cooked segments by segments to curry. He has no class He Kills at will. I hate him very much And I do have my reasons. He's the infamous snake The symbol of evil Father of confusion With evil intention Perpetual guide To eternal hell From the garden of Eden Who gave Eve a heartbreak. He's toxic and venomous. ©IvanBrooksPoetry 29/8/2018

Classic bier pose: eyes closed, arms folded over chest, everything aligned perfectly. Peaceful, opposite of the turmoil in everyone around you. You never did think about others at all. In the flames I can see your body still. Peaceful pose: gone. Now: contortionist. Eight-year-old Chinese gymnast, perfect 10 I’d say, but perhaps I’m biased. Over there the judge says 7.99; stingy, just call it 8 even (or put the taxes in the **** score). I think it was the stress of the audit. That’s why your wife left, the audit.  And the hookers, you ***** ******* I’d **** on your pyre, but all the alcohol would catch it on fire and send it racing up to light ME, instead of one of your nasty cigarettes. Tax evasion, lying (eight, count ‘em, eight dependents: birds #s 1, 2, 3 (bird feeder pays for itself this way, don’t it?), chipmunk, dog, the mouse in the cellar, bird number 4 (only in the summer, not domesticated), even the random fox), you name it. How did you run that for so long? Hero’s funeral, the great pyre, a pile of ashes. Something a chimney sweep would leave, and about as important.  Did they ever find cause of death—the wife? Good, I helped her. She needed a shoulder to cry on after you died, and you sure as hell weren’t there (typical). A pile of ashes, ashes to ashes, etc., n’est-ce pas?

Eulogy
My summers at the cottage were usually spent alone... for there were no other kids and there wasn't even a phone... I would wander by the water collect colored glass I found in the sand... and mom would have me weeding the weeds upon her land... I always played a gymnast while walking on fallen trees... I'd dig up clay beneath the sand and that would make me sneeze... My dad would take me for a ride in our Lyman boat... we'd go out onto the water and sometimes just sit and float... He would always find a fishing pole laying in the hatch... and because of me, yes little me we always came back with a catch... by ~ judy

My summers at the cottage...
Imagination... Isn't it Grand? We had a rolling kitchen door, and I would play elevator. All by myself... Going Up! Because as a child the elevators in the stores had an elevator operator, who would call out the floors, and they had beautiful music playing, that is why it is called elevator music... Imagination... Isn't it Grand? I would get in my dads Mercury car, grab a cattail from the ditch and pretend I was driving to the carryout. I'd pretend the music was playing while pretending to be smoking the cattail...I even would put my arm out the window pretending it was the turn signals. All by myself... Slowing Down! My dad would take me to the carryout, in the summer while at the cottage. I would always con him into buying me Chocolate Cow pop, and a sucker... Worth the ride... Imagination... Isn't it Grand? While at the cottage, to pass time away, I would walk down the beach where trees had fallen into the water. In my mind I was a gymnast. I would jump on the tree which was large and old with big branches sticking out of the water. I would hold my arms out to the side, sing a song and walk like a gymnast... All by myself... BUT... If I got bored, mom would have me weeding the sand, down on the beach. so if I complained, then my mom would Use her Imagination... Imagination... Isn't it grand? by ~ Judy

IMAGINATION...ISN'T IT GRAND?
I awoke from sleep nightmares, enforced by you sweat, cold, I turn over and try to fall fall back asleep an impossibility, a futile attempt there's a full dining room's worth plates, spinning plates, in my head they never stop, always spinning till one wobbles, balance falters, and just as you'd expect they fall one after another crashing another but there's always one one left, still spinning, shakily waiting for the mess to be cleaned up where'd that little fairy go? the one who used to follow you around.. who is gonna clean up this mess NO! No, I cleaned up after you long enough! even a maid receives a paycheck, compensation I was just a slave a slave to you, a slave to my mind the trickery and contortion, you'd think I was a gymnast, of Olympic Gold proportions! I was a lap dog, following you around, eating what ever you gave me, begging for more please sir, more? more abuse, more deception, more than just friends more than just a use, for a good time for who? I worked so hard at trying trying to make you love me trying to make you see obvious oblivion, I get it! You're blind! hopefully you must be, Have you even seen some of these women? those one night roll arounds you're just so polite waiting till the morning to push them out out the door, and you will, oh how they know you will, but still you'll call them those disposable women you'll call because you know it's free because you know they want you to if only you were good enough to have one for every day of the week - you know, those ones the ones you equated me too! But, a friend of mine you'll always be so long as it pays off for you a few amazing hours naked together, alone a drinking buddy when the regulars are out of town a gram here, a joint there an easement of your guilt for allowing yourself to lie right through your teeth to the face of an adoring fan to use, abuse and get what you can from your supposed life long friend! you should have been more careful though for you smell nothing like a rose you wreak your stench so vile you slop your sludge of a personality right across my face before twisting the knife in my back then pretend like none of it exists extinct though that would imply that it once existed which you've stated for certain it does not.

she was born to bend this way her muscles sing through the air wrapping physics round her finger handspring, handspring, tuck, plant her equilibrium ponders life and its meaning every twitch intentional every smile framed if life were more like summersaults and less like crashing planes if the truth were always inside your ears and the applause came only when you landed safe if, when you fell, there were always a dozen friends waiting to lie to you about gravity maybe she would tumble beyond the mat into rumors of spiraling fates

Gymnast 5/30
I hoisted myself on the parallel bars (in itself a remarkable feat) Determined this day I would go all the way. As if I was some student athlete. My gym teacher sought to encourage me As he knew I’d fallen before. “imagine your crossing A rope bridge in the jungle, hungry crocodiles roaming the floor.” I inched myself forward across the beam My arms bore incredible strain. I made it half way Then my arms gave away. My best efforts had all been in vain. I admire the gymnast on balance beams Those who soar on the parallel bars But I’m short and I’m fat So that put paid to that So, mostly, I travel in cars.

Parallel Bars
These treads of death, trends of aerial creatures. 'Twas a drama queen miscalculated affair. She thought to herself, she wouldn't make it To her planet. Her eyes twitched. Her smile frowned. She ditched her stilettos inside a hole Floating on her bourbon, not drunk, She hadn't seen the sun. 'Twas an alien Joan of Arc impersonating a gymnast trying to drown within purple clouds. These lives of velvet, made so sweet. I'm 'bout to pull out my rotten teeth, And feed the devil, underneath me. His skin so white It glowed beyond your regular - Transparent ice blue. It made her shiver Beyond his coat, Faux-fur – smelt of blood, So disgustingly dark. He was my devil, made from snow – so pure. He melted at my feet, I hadn't shed a tear. My white devil's inside me. He found his way. He is wrapped around my Intestines So hard. He's left his cigarette butts, on my liver. But it didn't hurt, To burn Like they said it would. I loved my devil, made from snow. These brown angels, stealing his lines. These brown angels, how could they. These brown angels, sold their wings. For three ugly wigs. He told me once, beaming in the dark With several fish lying around dying: "Angels Will never be brown."

Think About Me Verse 1 Anytime, anyplace, baby I'm with it/ You can have all of me boy just come it/ Cuz I just can't sleep when you're not here right next to me/ I'm trying to believe in something i can't see I'm talking love/ Its got my mind all twisted out/ always thinking bout you/ talking like i can't live without you/Oh no. Im laying down my cards again/ I’m giving up my heart again Chorus So tell me if I'm on your mind/I need to know its real this time/ tell me do you think about me/ baby, Do you ever think about me/ like i think about you all the time you're staying on my mind and I can't go a day without you babe. So do you think about me? Baby do you ever think about me Verse 2 so, Tell me boy/ what you think/baby let me hear it we putting in this overtime are we getting serious? Cuz I can be anything you need Doctor or a gymnast work me out, put it down boy give me the business. You've go me so open babe it's a shame I'm letting down my cards again Thought that i would never change never change I'm giving up my heart again (Chorus) Bridge No matter how hard I try I just can't fight ignore my mind my heart takes flight in love How hard I try i just can't fight ignore my mind my heart takes flight in love (2x) (Chorus, until fades out) Like I Think About You….
