"implosion" poems
Slowly unfold, as you fold into me. Two explosions that explode imploding our senses with sensory overload too intersections that intersect invisible connected through connectivity magnetized magnetically galvanized genetically when energized this pleasure is derived riveting her visibly I convulse as you implode Extinguishing our misery With pleasure beyond measure Thirst quenched physically satisfied, apparently.

Implosion
Sprawl of the nazarene toothslayer, Nucleotide bombast explosion; ***** of the eftsoon soothsayer, Pyramid galaxies implosion: Breathing quintuplicating matrix Somersault to ceaseless meiosis, Goldbeating phlanx initiatrix: Amphimixis apotheosis. Lifen gyrovagues aerolitic: And fixate Atlas telescopic!

Noli Me Praehendo
Tonight, I spoke into the darkness, No stars to light my way,        The black void all encompassing    My words drifting up in ribbons,           I waited for something, anything to happen               I felt a rumble that was akin to ripples emanating from a drop of water hitting a puddle         I was small next to the impossible, And when it spoke back, it changed me                The blank canvas of stark black was pierced by blades of light,     The sky becoming a shutter in a rain storm            Blowing open and closed        The words came and wrapped themselves across my body in its entirety         Constricting my air flow              I felt myself shatter   An implosion of feeble glass        Ricocheting through a skeleton of paper, reflecting the brightness above inside ripped skin                 I was nothing.                 I didn't exist.                 I floated in an incomprehensible place that had no end, no walls      No ceiling or floor             Just illumination in every direction                     I opened my eyes        And was blinded by an incredible radiance       I shut my eyes tight and swatted in front of me         My hand struck something metal and I yelped in pain                      I shot up and stared downward     Towards the desklamp unplugged on the floor                    Breathing heavily, I sat upright in my bed,                  Struggling to pull away words that had already sunken in

Expansion of mind, Implosion of self, My consciousness is fragmented, Crystal shards laying on the floor, Scattered about, Lost in the wash, A river flowing beneath the soul.

For love to flourish Some ideas on life we need to punish And for unity to feel unified Some old philosophies should be denied A universal charter of peace One that imprisons any aggressor with no signs of an early release Third world or new world, rich and poor Eternally searching for so much more At breaking point and primed for implosion Standing at the towns gates and cheering totalitarianism on its arduous march into expulsion As masses we move in uncertain terms Living to absorb , to almost defend the disease, the genetic germs The crowd ask questions, seek answers of clarity Settling no more for the disgust of others impunity Maybe the balance will tilt And the toxic flowers of the current state of affairs begin to wilt Global humanity free to exist and have an honest future of preservation Not just confined to a future in some wildlife conservation

the wildlife conservation,
I have been invisible before. My thoughts and justifications were transparent. All anyone could see were my actions; the way I failed and stumbled, and ran head first into doors that lead me down path after path of distraction. At least they seemed like distractions,   oh, but they become my destruction. 
 I spent my time quietly imploding, only to change my mind last minute, and suddenly explode. I changed my mind, but my body stayed stock still. I stood in front of the judges and while my tongue was granite, the urge to run from the podium had never been greater. I wished to be invisible. I wished to go to a dark corner of the room and finish my implosion. Out of sight, where I could hide and self destruct without a sound. And then if, or when, I picked up the shrapnel, I could re-join everyone on stage at graduation. I could hold my head high and with a smile, pretend no one saw me crumble.

The Transparency of Invisible Disabilities
It's two minutes past the deadline The coffee he spilled has seeped into the wooden table As if leaving a masterpiece of stains would somehow make it right The boom caused by the implosion of his future still echoes in his head As he lifts himself from the shallow puddle of confidence That has almost dried up whole The dirt under his fingernails is a reminder Of the time he spent trying To get this tree of missed chances and what-ifs To grow again His car keys and his passport he uncovers From under a pile of broken promises Maybe he can push back time Following the sun

Second Chance
Beyond the butterfly feelings In the whirlwind of our intimacy A full option sensual desire Distance distancing distance All at once till we hit the ****** The zenith of pleasures and feels Like the breakthrough of Miracles Sounds of Soughs, ex and in hales Hot Moments of breathlessness Scratches of speechlessness Mouth agape, dead-in-moments long squeezes, short grips, sweats Body vibrating, breath whispering Emotions revealing, turn ons Passions imploding, hard ons Intense kinetic motions of kardias Slippery shining fleshy mammalians Till the moment of implosion: ****** That sweet ecstasy moment when all that exists is what you feel

"Sounds of Sough"
Summon up the courage keeping up the cover A Minefield of memory, I see you uncover Irrationality implosion - Energetically, explosion. Do you really think, in our realities that a happiness love, might continue? When emotions are temporary & feelings too fleeting Listen when I announce my selfishness. Listen, as I manipulate.

(on a Bed of Feather White)
The ****** poet mainlines inspiration by the gram. chasing away the gnawing emptiness. Fill the void with creations formed in pain, molded in your likeness to keep at bay the loneliness. The ****** poet and his muse paint the world in inebriated metaphors. Burnt spoon blackened souls gather on the fringes. Creating living seas of tortured, tumultuous shadow. The end comes like an implosion. Destruction turned inward one last time. Not a result of action, but of choices made in moments of self-loathing when the junkie’s muse was nowhere to be found.

****** Poet
I hovered down my cursor Towards the Facebook icon My senses were in fervor For one notification. I clicked the drop down button That was drenched in crimson red My mind had an implosion As I decoded what it said. Someone sent a game request To me when time was lush My day embarks another quest In the game of candy crush. A ticket, life, or power-up Could be the thing I need To clear the way and reach the top And in the ranks I'll lead. A move that swaps a jelly bean Perhaps could form an "L" A wrapper bomb then could be seen Explosion it would spell. Maybe an orange lozenge Could pile in lines of four A striped bomb could come in revenge And wipe out lanes for score. A bunch of yellow lemon drops I'll surely link to five In time a color bomb would pop And clear the candy hive. Heaps of lollipop heads in blue And purple cluster sweets Could get swept out in a row or two By coco wheels or jelly fish. How lovely it would be to see A medley of combination Bombs and power-ups in spree To a rainbow candy motion. Two wrapper bombs would be enough To blast two groupings clean Two striped ones make a checker stuff Where blocks have ever been. A wrapper and a color bomb Blast off a certain hue A color bomb and a stripe in clump Stripe out some colors too. Perhaps of all the tricks I've seen The one that serves me great A duo of color bombs would mean The end of all the slate. The sun may rise, the moon may set I'll be there to sit and play A sweet treat is all I need to get And I'll complete my day.

allow me to celebrate the ant summer miscre-ant in my kitchen picking up pieces of pieces "to go": a crumb of Meow Mix, a crushed Cheerio; applied the usual eco-safe spray detecting this way too feint for they amassed to quest their innate objective exploring and toting the prime directive; hymenoptera tents with doors four on the floor: cafes of poison for caulking the cracks in the walls hadn't solved the stay-past-your-welcome guests involved; soon numbers diminished but still a few creeping through unrepent-ant I swept thrice per day to starve them out yet brooms are too thick all crannies to rout; surrendered and wondered, perhaps they are teachers attempting to bypass my brainy block too thick to buzz with what the ants know? I squat as a toddler to take-in their show; for hours observing them (off and on) until an implosion of comm-ants sense challenged my globalized conception exposing my mind to ant redemption; the ant is now my writing totem trouble though they'll be next June within this mantra is what they knew: one moment one crumb to carry and chew; insight's relative I realize ants have their own frustrations with size but ponder the ant when writing time's little: at peace with a piece of ant-agonist vittle.

To say No?
The sunny day of January invited the sun's radiation that burns skin as fire could burn through paper. Perhaps that was why everything we planned was a heat-up and dramatic hope. Perhaps like the partly burned coal, our hope too burns itself to the emptiest cinders of all. The hopeful plan we once had was dramatized to create illusions of the fantasy we'd like to live in, but a reality that we could not create because the reality is, we are nothing but the matter of expired fire. We are the ashes of what we left behind. We may have stopped giving off flames, but we still have some combustible matter in us; and soon, what follows is, for the better - an explosion, or for the worst - an implosion.

our combustibility
What is a world without being judged? Without competition or criticizing? A world where there is no room for improvement Everything is set in stone, not perfect just you take what you get and deal with it Where there is no place to showcase your true potential? No rhyme or reason to try Less amazing things happen, maybe even nothing spectacular going on A place doomed for rebellion, implosion A stack of cards with no foundation, just ready to cave in A world without love, or feelings It all dwindles down without one another One thing could be missing and change it all And our society would be a soso-ciety

Burnt umber in the morning As the planets do align, Ominously holding To the Zodiac design, Reminding us that somewhere In the Bible, it was said, That by the twelfth year of this century Whole populations would be dead. They say it is upon us Those children of the moon, They say the fingers of our destiny Shall fall upon us soon. Calamitous catastrophe To befall the western world That fiscal debt implosion Will result with fraud unfurled, When abnormal plate subduction Along the continent's divide Will magnify the earthquake swarm   Across the planet's hide. When enormous ring tsunamis Emanate from deep at sea To cascade onto shorelines To wreak extreme calamity. Across the globe, Astrologist's,   Say something huge is due. Their whispers quietly amplified To percolate to you. What little can be done or said It's very hard to say Because authorities worldwide Refuse to recognize this day, They won't readily acknowledge Those symptoms verily to hand, The frequent natural disasters Occurring in each land. Contagion is  contagious The whispers may be wrong, Perhaps the future holds for us A vastly different song, But when the moon is full and white And I look into her face, I discern a bleak anxiety Destined for the human race I see mother nature poised To take the heavy, upper hand With an implacable demeanor And un empathetic stand.

What if in every black hole, created by loneliness and forgotten words, lies a galaxy created all its own — remnants of the implosion scar the beauty but will remain a perfect imperfection of the new creation; from what was believed to be nothing emerges everything. Structured by the hands of a god, a perfect tracing of what is needed -- survival is not an option. Lose yourself in me.

They said our 20s were supposed to be easy They never said that i would have to Count backwards from one hundred to Curb a breakdown They said sedation will calm you Down But no one ever considered That my neuroticism is what gave Me my power to write No one prepared me for the nights I dont remember For the car accidents that happened But never really happened The accidents that only existed as scars On my car That my splintered mirrors Only showed a fraction of my illness I was never supposed to be the person To leave the party early Because there was an anomaly in the wallpaper I was unable to ignore No one prepares you for the enemies You make of yourself Or the holes in your memory Where your dignity leaks out I never knew I could tell the time By counting my tears on my tile floor And that springs of my Bed would twang the sad anthem id never sing Because i was bloated with The probability that My anxiety was Scrawled on my skin That my anguish was apparent And my life floated in a glass Half empty And ever-transparent I believed No one would want to be with Someone with so much baggage I had to check in in order to get on a plane Ive spent my 20s on the verge of Implosion I was never meant to Crave sterility And the absence of emotion What if my mispoken words Were perfectly aligned With the trajectory of my life And that I was meant to Teach people Through this story That even the “Wrong words come Out right”
