"harding" poems
Umiibig akong matapat ang puso, sa iyo, O Sintang pithaya ng mundo. Dilag na bulaklak sa harding masamyo, sinuyo’t pinita ng laksang paru-paro. Tinataglay nila’y mararangyang pakpak, subalit ang nasa’y tanging halimuyak. Iba sa bagwis kong luksa ang nagtatak, sa mata ng iba’y isa lamang hamak. Ako’y dahop-palad, niring mundo’y aba, sa utos ng puso, ikaw’y sinasamba. O! ang saklap naman, umagos ang luha, pagkat lumilihis ang ating tadhana. At niring landas ta’y lalong pinaglayo, nang ikaw’y nabihag ng hari ng mundo. Buong taglay niya’y di tapat na puso,  tanging hangad lamang ang kagandahan mo. Sinta ko ano pa ang aking magawa, kung sa ngalan ng Diyos kayo’y tinali na? Daloy ng tadhana’y mababago pa ba’t, panaho’y balikang ikaw’y malaya pa? Bihag ka na ngayong walang kalayaan,  hawak ang mundo mo ng lilong nilalang Wari'y isang ibong ang lipad may hanggan, at ang yamang pakpak, dustang tinalian.  Paano O! Sinta yaring abang buhay? Ikaw’y tanging pintig nitong pusong malumbay. Kung ikaw ang buhay ng buhay kong taglay, Sa iyo mabigo’y sukat ng mamatay. Subalit nasa kong lumawig sa mundo, sapagkat buhay pa niring pag-ibig ko. At ikaw O! Sintang namugad sa puso, napanagimpan kong pinaghintay ako.  Sa harap ng hirap na di masawata, tanging asam ko’y lalaya ka Sinta. At itong pagtiis ay alay ko Mutya, mula sa puso kong nagdadaralita. Maghihintay ako sa pagkakahugnos, sa tanikala **** higpit na gumapos, sa kalayaan na lubhang nabusabos, at mariing dulot, galak na di lubos. Ang aking paghintay akay ng pag-asa, lawig ng pag-asa’y kambal ang pagdusa. At ang dukhang pusong batis ng dalita, tila pinagyakap ang pag-asa’t luha. O! aking minahal ako’y maghihintay, kahit walang hanggang paglubog ng araw. Magtitiis ako sa gabing mapanglaw, hanggang sa pagsilang ng bukang liwayway. Yaong sinag nito’y ganap na tatapos,  sa dilim na dulot ng dusa’t gipuspos. Sinag na tutuyo sa luhang umagos,  niring mga matang namumugtong lubos. Yaong pamimitak ng mithing umaga, araw na mabihis ng mga ligaya, ang buhay kong abang tinigmak ng luha, mula sa kandungan niring Gabing luksa. Maghihintay ako sa gitna ng dusa,  kapiling ang munting kislap ng pag-asa. Magtitiis kahit sanlibong pagluha, hanggang sa panahong muli kang lalaya. Maghihintay akong di hadlang ang pagal,  kahit ang panaho’y lalakad ng bagal. Magtitiis ako pagkat isang tunay itong pag-ibig kong sa puso’y bumukal. Maghihintay kahit dulong walang hanggan, na pagdaralita’t mga kapanglawan Kahit di tiyak kong muling sisilang, ang bukang liwayway na tanging inasam. ©Raffy Love Canoy |May 2019|

Bukang Liwayway na Hinihintay
Umiibig akong matapat ang puso, sa iyo, O Sintang pithaya ng mundo. Dilag na bulaklak sa harding masamyo, sinuyo’t pinita ng laksang paru-paro. Tinataglay nila’y mararangyang pakpak, subalit ang nasa’y tanging halimuyak. Iba sa bagwis kong luksa ang nagtatak, sa mata ng iba’y isa lamang hamak.

Kaya Mo Ba Akong Panagutan? Nilason mo ako ng iyong mapanlinlang na balat-kayo. Pinaniwala sa mga mapanuksong katagang pagbabago. Hinayaan ko ang labi **** puno ng kasinungalingan, Na dungisan ang aking minamahal na bayan. Naging biktima ako sa kulungan **** puno ng promiso, Isang harding pinamamahayan ng mga bulaklak galing sa impyerno. Ako’y bingi’t takip-mata sa reyalidad ng iyong tunay na pagkatao. Mistulang manikang salat sa kasarinlan; kumukubli, nagtatago. Ginawa mo akong biktima ng iyong kasakiman! Mga anak ko’y ginamit mo para sa iyong makasariling kaligayahan. **Isa kang malaking hipokrito sa sarili **** lipunan!** Labis na Kinasusuklaman, Higit na Kinamumuhian.

Inang Bayan
With the start of the first inning as the wind whistled through the tree's Our short stop had his shoulder broke and the fates blew in on the breeze This team was a thorn in the side of the Harding Presidents Club It was on this night my son Tate was scheduled to play as a sub The kid pitching for North Union hurled a cooking heater down field You could hear that freight train coming as it's hide was 'bout to be peeled Their coach then rallied his talent pressing their shoulders to the wheel like natives dancing 'round a fire driving devils who'd struck a deal A death defying mid-air, catch the bounding, ball tossed on the run The Devil was in town this night riding in on the setting sun They dove and slid then nearly flew as if the angels rode their backs While running bases half possessed plowing the field with cleated tracks No one remembered the last time that our team had beaten this bunch That night they took the field in style serving them all up for their lunch , The dice kept coming up seven and oh prophetically so When the sun had finally set the score was seven to zero Come ye father's follow your child through the tough times every one For the oft chance will someday come when they will have finally won Tate © 2012 Tate Morgan Written April 12, 2014 Americans love the underdogs. original http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/aristate/1342622/ Original video poem of the same http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/aristate/1354978/

A Day In The Sun
Naglalaro tayo, Pero hindi parang biro. Mayroong taya, Pero hindi alam kung sino. At walang tayo, Pero sana’y parehas na manalo. Sisilip ang pusong walang pagkukunwari. At sa tikas at dunong ng iyong pananampalataya, Pawang gabay sa nauuhaw na sandali. Ang baryang sentimo’y itinabi nang kusa, Pagkat umuusbong ang pagsinta Sa para sanang taglagas na paghinga. Nais kong siyasatin ang maamo **** mukha At ang pagkukumbaba’y batid kong patas at di ulila. Iyong mga kamay, yapos silang mga uhaw At ang tula’y binalot ng pakikipaghimagsikan. Dukha ang pag-ibig ko, Bagkus hindi mamamalimos. At sa mala-larong pag-iibigan, Magwawagi rin tayo. Sapat na ang nalalabing mga sandali’t Armas nati’y ibibigkis pa rin sa Langit. Pagkat hindi lilisanin ang Harding may bukal ng pag-ibig. Tataya ako’t hindi ka muna gigisingin Sa himbing ng paghikbi’y, ako’y gapos ng katotohanan. Sinta, hintay lamang; pagkat matatapos din ang laro Gigising tayong muli’t bibihisan ng pagsuyo.

Hide and Seek
"Still water runs deep." - Yiddish Proverb To sail within a boat never rocked or tucked within a sea. Long grass kissing the bow. Mosquito hum, siren stand-in. Brother big, brother strong. I, the groove of big brother's elbow. Clothes on the line. Canary yellow, A-line dress. The spring girls swelling, rippling from the bashful shore. Big brother hold me over edge. My arms, my oars. Splashing pasture, blades receding. Adults at birthday parties. Brother big, brother mast. Climb. Not only sail, but zephyr, I. Snake through Rusty Bike River, the tributary. Spill. Into the wide, into the Harding Family Ocean. Where dolls, hair frayed and faces smooshed, lounge half-submerged and mostly forgotten. Where sea dogs test chain, test spike. Eye the confident chickens strolling dock. And then Mother turns on porch lamp, soft words, ebbing to lighthouse. Brother big, big brother. My arms, my arms.

Seafaring, Harvest Break 1971
Let’s start with a reminder: President Harding, President Woodrow Wilson, President McKinley, President Calvin Coolidge & President Harry S. Truman-- Harry giving them hell in my lifetime, In my time— An ever so proximate reminder-- These were all Presidents of the U.S. of A. Also, KKK Members. Warren G. Harding, for Christ’s sake, Was actually sworn into the Ku Klux **** At a **** ceremony Astonishingly conducted, Inside the White House, Presided over by Wizard Imperial of the Day, The Honorable Colonel Simmons. And I may as well throw in Justice Hugo of the Supreme Court Hugo Black in white robes, While we’re on the subject of cultural memory, To wit: the one Branch where Fairness Is supposed to go with the territory. You want to talk about race? Hey, don’t get me started.

“Let’s Talk About Race”
Manaka-naka kong binisita ang 'yong munting tahanan Siniyasat kung may bagong kagamitan o panauhing pinaunlakan Sinuri ang katibaya't karupukan ng dating kagamitan Repasuhin ang pundasyong itinukod ng nakaraan At sa muli kong pagbisita sa 'yong tahanan May bago akong nadatnan– nag-iba ang 'yong kinahihiligan Hindi na aso kundi pusa ang paborito **** alagaan Pati pintura ng 'yong munting tahana'y sya ring pinalitan Ang dating itim ay tuluyang naging luntian Maging ang pader nito'y simentado na't hindi kawayan Pagbabago nga ba? o isinaayos lang? T'wing bibisita ako sa 'yong tahanan Dati-rati'y umaabot pa sa 'yong pintuan Datapwat ngayo'y hanggang tarangkahan na lamang Nananatiling nakamasid sa 'yong bakuran Sa harding dati'y mirasol pa ang namumukadkad at hindi rosas Sa bagong panauhing pinapasok sa pintuan Pinaunlaka't nilaanan ng oras Sa mga larawan niyang nakasabit sa dingding na dati'y mukha ko ang nilalaman Nakatanaw; Sa tahanang minsan ako'y nanahan Sa tahanang tuluyan ko nang nilisan -SLE

Tahanang Nilisan
Anger so deep The journey so far The pain so real Pain so real that it makes time stands still I am overwhelmed by my demons I am forced to question the person am I question why, just why I seemed to be far removed from this place Dark cold and lonely pain is my new place. By Oscar Harding

"So Deep"
on edges of swing set of summer of child I grow -- a rust abloom while ghosts of women once called "mother" do push a wind a creak a falling leaf feathering downward, candied sentiment traveling forward for hope for empty swing to fill to turn the chronometer back to 12 noon, March 6, 1972

Harding Family Swing Set, After the Funeral
herman harding showed me his truck today in the muggy high school parking lot in the sweltering sun that could easily set my still temperament ablaze. "she calls it the **** wagon." he told me. "she calls mine the firestarter." i told him; he gave me a look. "surprised?" i asked. "so what do you think?" "it's a battered wife." "what the hell does that mean?" "all bruised and broken down, probably only runs because you give it gas." "it's a hand-me-down, okay? so am i giving you a ride home, or what?" i crawled in the **** wagon. "i should be getting my license soon." "that's nice." herman seemed uneasy. "yep, i'll be driving by next school year." "that's nice." the truck had green seats and a yellow dashboard. obviously replaced. approaching the highway, i opened the glove compartment- insurance information. "you're telling me you bought insurance for this piece of **** "why should you care?" "i'm just wondering, seems like a waste of money." almost home, i flip down the sun visor- down flutter a couple of pictures of her that shouldn't have been taken. i flip the sun visor back up, take a look at the photos, and deposit them in the glovebox. "tell me, herman: do you like getting hand-me-downs?" "get out of the truck."

everyone's an idiot except for me
Presidents Washington, Adams and Jefferson, had *** with slaves just for fun. Madison, Monroe and Adams, I'm sure had secret madams. Jackson, Van Buren and Harrison, not sure how they ever won. Tyler, Polk and Taylor, before elected lived in a trailer. Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan, should have been shot from a cannon. Lincoln, Johnson and Grant, each once had a cotton plant. Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, sinking fast with no life preserver. Cleveland, Harrison and again Cleveland, both of them killed at least one Indian. McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, all too fat to float on a raft. Wilson, Harding and Coolidge, should have jumped from a bridge. Hoover, Roosevelt and Truman, wondering if they were even human. Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, neither of them can still run. Nixon, Ford and Carter, not sure which one was smarter. Reagan, Bush and Clinton, shot, stupid and a Monica. Bush and now Obama, one was dumb, and the other looks like a black llama.

There once was a Grand Old Party Formed against slavery The Free Soil party Defenders of the constitution And the omnibus declaration First to be President: Abraham Lincoln The 20s were the Republican decade Harding, Coolidge and Hoover A decade sadly a century past A temporal chasm loomed Until conservative hero Former democrat Reagan Trickled up the elephant’s trunk Take eye of Newt And two from Bush Alchemy trickery: viola kazam! The great bamboozle began It’s no longer conservatism No longer less federalism A horrible takeover This GOP makeover Fend for self Wall off power Distort report All else enemy Walk lock-step Repeat refrain Us not them Say it again My senator father Is spinning in his grave Fox in the henhouse This Mitch debprave

“Nightmares with my eyes open wide” I am smiling. Wish you could see me cry. If only you could have seen that dead limp body in my arms! If only your ears coul…d hear that cry. My ears cry. My eyes cry. My heart cried. My soul dying. I killed purity. I killed innocents. Mummy loved me. Daddy loved me. And I was killed just the same! Others could see what needed to be done. No one wanted to **** A dying soul! A soul in pain. A soul pleading with eyes that pierced to the bone. I pretended to be blind as not to see, the pieces of what once was? I pretended to be deaf as not wanting to here the cry’s of death! No matter how I try. No matter how hard I smile. No matter how hard I laugh! The sadness, the sadness. Darkness still grows inside!

“Nightmares with my eyes open wide”
sa isang harding puno ng rosas, sumibol ang tila bagong bulaklak talulot ma'y 'di paris ng bighani ng iba, halimuyak na taglay ay waring mahika ngunit salungat ito sa nais ng hardinero, sapagkat pula lamang ang kanyang tanging ibig may suklam sa mga mata niya itong minasdan, pinitas nang walang pagdadalawang-isip ipinagkait na para bang api, ang pagkakataong mamukadkad nang ganap damong itinuring, kapara ng salot sa tanim kawawang sampaguita, ganda'y 'di napansin

"Back seat Driver "
The literal worst. Some might say Nixon- the criminal in charge Martin for the tear he let the native’s tread Hoover for the shanty towns that rose Fillmore who let the escaped and finally free be returned to captivity. John Taylor the whig who wasn't a whig but manifested his Ideas in us going west. Warren G Harding and the Affairs James Buchanan who started the war. But the worst were the ones who never got to be. The literal worst because I got to see a world that will remain unknown to me. And they are: Jessie Charlene Victoria and Shirley Belva Elaine Carol ‘n Patsy and Cynthia McKinney And who can forget Joan Jett Blakk the black Drag Queen Because Despite what the winners want you to think WE do not look like James Buchanan! Warren Harding! John Taylor and all the other men who have persisted to reign. And still, we sit here and watch as all other make strides in the field we claim to have created. Brazil Germany India Israel Iceland Ireland Liberia Norway Pakistan The Philippines Sri Lanka South Korea And the UK I hope I live long enough to see America rise to the silent challenge of its peers. To see a woman at the podium To see a woman at the desk. To see The black woman The trans woman The bisexual woman The old woman The unmarried, unmothered woman The minority woman The asexual woman The not so average American woman woman. The bleeding woman.

The Literal Worst
Blades of grass Slice like swords Up the mountain towards Divinity and Portage Pass. Ripples make The water's mirror Obscured but clearer Is my mind at Gold Cord Lake. Sailing towards The deepest blue Where nature's hue Harmonizes in Kenai Fjords. The mountains wield Their crown with pride, And skies abide The reign of the Harding Ice Field. The sky is dark But a giant looms And light assumes It's silhouette in Denali Park.

My favorite places, Alaska
Man, don’t talk that shit--I ain’t but six-eleven, maybe, But, pretend as he might, Reggie was seven-foot, legit, And as bad a cat as ever took the court at Eastern High, But bad off the court, too, took the neighborhood with him, Wherever he went--man just couldn’t shake Mack Avenue, And when the pros just decided He wasn’t worth the trouble any more, He had nowhere to go but back home, and nothin’ to work with Save havin’ a big hand to pull a trigger with (And that wasn’t getting him too far, like there wasn’t anyone Who didn’t know who Reggie was), And at some point you end up on the wrong end of the barrel, Then nothin’ left to do ‘Cept try to wrestle what remained of the man Into some huge-ass coffin (Word was Mike Storen from the Pacers paid for it, Even though Reggie had threatened to shoot his *** on live TV), And word was when they got him to the graveyard The coffin wouldn’t fit in the hole straight-in, So they had to snap off a couple of the handles And wedge him in all kitty-corner. Man, I hope that story’s true, Folks from the neighborhood used to say, It wouldn’t be Reggie if he went straight.

reggie harding, at an angle.
You were there Around 2009, I sat on our favorite tree branch with the summer rays beaming down on my arms. It was the perfect picture for the missing spot in your scrapbook. You had hoisted me up there. Around 2013, I walked into your farmhouse at Christmas ready for a night of food, and presents. I ran to living room to check out the tree, before saying hi. You didn't even get a hug. Around 2002, My mom screamed out, while breaking my dad’s hand. The doctor opened the door, and let you in first. Your eyes filled with tears. You loved me from the start. Around 2015, The shouts echoed throughout room and in my head. I sat crying on the coach as her shadow loomed over me. It was supposed to be a nice vacation. You stood up for me. Around 2006, I ran down the hill and about tripped over my feet. I was the first one there, you were far behind. I jumped on the swing. I loved to fly. You pushed me. Around 2019, I hugged you with cautiousness. Your frail arms wrapping around my body. My eyes turned to your water cup on the table, it was only half way gone. The tears started down my cheek but I wiped them away quickly. You didn’t deserve it. Around 2029, I looked in the mirror all dressed in white. My mascara ran a bit. It was almost time to change my life. Hopefully for the better. I searched the aisle and saw every face staring at me. I felt yours too. You were there… Somewhere. Inspired by Deborah Harding, "How I Knew Harold."

You were there
The night is blank, like venison. John Wesley Harding held my hand through the river. The end is nigh. Tomorrow things will be different, things will change. I have so much passion, it's a curse. I'm tired of tomorrows. I'm tired of being a fool. I don't want to be a walking shadow. I was born a walking shadow, so I was doomed from the start. I find myself in love with everything and nothing but confusion to show for it. I see myself and I am a small patch of existence. I question myself. Why do I care about something so insignificant? Why do I love her and hate him. I once despised strong emotion, but now I've learned to be rude and decisive. Now, for the sake of heart, I must forget what I've learned. I was born yesterday, it's a fact. Running down the mountain is the green of the Earth, the metaphor of life. Pouring out itself is the wind, singing softly an echo of eternity. Rising from the sky a great pillar, and a message therein embedded presupposed perpetual motion. There is good, and there is evil. There is life and there is death. There is creation and there is destruction. Destruction has so much power, for everything is in constant decay, and yet, creation wins. Though people die, life wins in the end. Sure, it's optimistic, but I don't care! I see you now... Hair over your beautiful face, and you tell me, without saying a word... you tell me....

My Serious Voice
As a disheveled Warren Harding once said: “Because we’re insane! There can’t be any other reason.” Definitely to escape the cutthroat competition the contemporary circuit of born-for-the-role contenders creates on the court (or field, or stadium) –– ‘cause I can’t keep up Definitely was seduced By the ideas of hanging from cliffs with only tips By the infinite approach, but ever distant mastery By the hipster-esque go-with-the-flow-as-long-as-it’s-against-the-current lifestyle Like a good song The joy of the end is the memory of the journey Every movement, every stressed cord The notes together form something unique A landscape that only complete concentration can uncover Also some of them are not as good Which gives you a standard for excellence Or maybe the endorphin high just makes me think these things Maybe it’s slowly driving me insane

Why do I rock climb?
I felt, your Funeral in my Brain! My mind is going numb, numb with pain. Numb with joy. I’m “ Back “ to darkness and to peace of mind. I looked inside to view the damage that was done. "I am Forever lost without my soul. My body is numb I am alone It’s never Quite Anger ,Hatred ,Betrayal I felt, your Funeral in my Brain! Your now alone. I feel joy and I am lost. I felt, your Funeral in my Brain! By Oscar Harding 11/2018
