"incapacity" poems
A bird lived its life lonely, None came for its help, It kept hunting for fruit pulp, Considered relations and family unholy. When its mother lived on difficulty, Other relative birds, treated it a person of mediocrity, Refused to follow generosity without partiality, To keep them safe, pretended their incapacity. Elder sister of the lonely bird kept threatening, About the future inabilities and loneliness, For a family life, kept telling it undeserving, Told it would face disappointments without liveliness. Life kept the lonely bird, lonely, The bird never cared about it, It had its mother with it, Life went lively & happily. Lonely bird had a fear in its thought, What happens, in loneliness if I am caught? It felt severe anguish and fear, On occasions, its heart fell in tear! Its elder sister, treated it with disrespect, In spite of it being, an aspiring intellect, Life of lonely bird remained downward, It got itself ready for situations untoward. The lonely bird kept struggling and thriving, With its ambition and goals put its life driving, Going remained really impossible & tough The path to dream remained very rough. Its fellow birds, remained happily settled, For lonely bird, things looked to be tangled, It was skilled, opportunities remained disabled, With rejections, life continuously growled. The lonely bird wanted to turn phenomenal, Didn’t look out to happiness personal, It did not have family, In its wealth remained, being hit poorly. Life went downward with pause, It was on long term ambition and cause, The bird turned itself a hungry beast, To put it away from loneliness, at least. If none is there, to take care, I would die! I would die! For a worldly mission, if I dare! Of loneliness, I would never cry! Elder sister of lonely bird threatened, You were born a layman Will die an orphan! Because you are a madman! The lonely bird, responded for it in life, I was born a layman, Will fight for my mission like a madman, Will die always fighting world evils as a spearman. There was ring! There was a ring! It was named Bhagat Singh! It told me life is lived on its own, Others shoulders are used at time of funeral. There was an alarm! There was an alarm! The name was Abdul Kalam, It told me Always be the unique you, Even if world wants to change you everybody else. Loneliness sometimes hit it like thorn, Nothing could make it torn, Through difficulties it was born, It lived life to make this world adorn. Loneliness turns out ubique, I am not alone! I am not alone! I am an unshakable stone, I am unique! I am unique!

A LONELY BIRD
A bird lived its life lonely, None came for its help, It kept hunting for fruit pulp, Considered relations and family unholy.

Elder sister of the lonely bird kept threatening, About the future inabilities and loneliness, For a family life, kept telling it undeserving, Told it would face disappointments without liveliness. Life kept the lonely bird, lonely, The bird never cared about it, It had its mother with it, Life went lively & happily.

They call me blessed, But then I wonder; Is being unlucky called being blessed? Then they call me lucky, Just because I survived; Do they compare me with someone who died? They want me to rejoice, But what they call life, Is always being in a mood to celebrate called life? No. It's called lies. Incapacity to face the real truth. Yes. I will rise, To give a surprise.. When the Sun rises at dawn, When the darkness falls off, When the memory fades away... As the story goes on, New leaflets are turned, The suspense can only deepen!

Unluckily Blessed
Devil's Dream 3/4 ounces of madness 1/4 ounce of insanity 1/4 ounce of delusion 1/2 ounce of darkness 1/4 ounce of incapacity 1/4 ounce of  violence 6 ounces of nightmares Combine all ingredients into a shaker, Shake intensely for 10 minutes until  thoroughly mixed up,  strain into a high ball asylum unbreakable glass, top with gasoline, light on fire and serve. This should make one hell of a drink. Thank you for visiting Satan's Pub, please come back any time.

Drawing upon the core of my being, I muster up the strength to survive. Stepping into another plane of existence; one in which I have no capacity to resist toxicity; I am vulnerable. A juggernaut lies at the end of the daylight hours; soft in temper and yet scourging in it’s pronouncements. This is a being with no malicious intent; a sentinel guarding the sacred caliber of a spirit under divine instruction. Darkness pervades in the form of light; I can sense a façade of purity within the confines of my bones. This fortress that I have traversed into is infected with a murky haze looming just above the skies. Escape is my only option; if I remain here it will be my demise. When the juggernaut arrives, trepidation will electrify my soul; it will animate me. Fear consumes me with every waking second I’m in it’s midst. -This gargantuan being understands- Empathy cannot save me however, once the utterances of ancient spirit inflict scathing wounds upon me in the name of humanity. Attempting to rescue me from the tumult of the planet does not obscure the pain and heartache of compassionate words. Wisdom lies within this walking tome; statue-esque maiden. I have used my discernment as a bulwark; protection from wounds of sensitivity lies in detachment from myself. I have come to realize that supplication does have a purpose. -To plea with the remnants of a long forgotten world- I am overwhelmed with euphoria when I realize that my fears have been nothing but stymie. Fleeting in nature; they whispered to me of my incapacity to reach the heart of a relic growing wiser by the minute. There is no judgment to be passed and I have been emancipated from the shackles of a foreshadowing past. It leads to my genesis; the day when I shall be lifted up past all my iniquity. Until that day, I await the metamorphosis of an ailing planet. The Juggernaut does have a purpose. This maiden shall be a beacon amongst the tumult of the seasons. I shall look to her as a guide and honesty is what shall pervade from her lips. In trueness she shall bestow her utterances upon me. Like the sweetest honey, her words will befall my eardrums. Internalization spurs a chemical reaction within me. I am changing. I have been enveloped by blinding rays of light. The darkness is no match for the spiritual sinew that I possess. I am growing by the second… I am growing prayer by prayer. -Amen- By Iridescently Efflorescent

"I've been told that to fix the problem, you must first find its root... But you can't fix something that's not broken. I am not broken, just slightly damaged. My mind is like a thousand year old oak tree, and my facade as fragile as porcelain. My emotions act as a wrecking ball and when the night hits I'm nothing but a decaying mask. I fear pain, so I don't welcome love. I turn it away; a ruthless rejection, and send it back to where it came from. It haunts me, and in the night my own demons become insomnia. To fix the problem, I must first find its root."  Or perhaps I mustn't focus on finding the root, I think the real issue might be that I am conscious that there are monsters in my head and my insomnia is result to the ongoing battle I have with myself and those monsters. Weather to love them or hate them, I do not know.  They save me and protect me, yet they seclude me from the rush of risk and beauty of bewilderment. When I lay in my bed my body feels great fatigue but my mind and my eyes are wide awake; ready to run circles around the world if they could. I no longer think that the solution would be to find a root or a specific turning point, but to end the battle of contradiction with the monsters that have taken over my thoughts and stolen my sleep. So do I love them because they protect me and have made me a smarter person? Or Do I hate them because they are the bricks that make up the walls I have built and they are the guards holding the riffles at the top of the walls shooting every single beautiful daring soul in their attempt to reach the real me? I will hate them. Yes the souls that have hurt me right after gaining my trust are the reason to my hurt and the nutrition to the growth of my monsters, but the very own monsters themselves are the ones responsible for my inability to recover from the inevitable hurt. They have Inprisoned me in this constant dark and uttermost thick desolation. It is because of how overpowered I am by them that I fail every single time in my attempt to breath. They are suffocating me and burying me in a state so dark I fear the incapacity to  get myself out. It is a journey of endless work, the wounds i have will eventually heal, but there will always be scars. It's like an addiction, even after being clean and sober the want of the drug will always be as great as it was the first time. So the fragility of my scars is so great it is completely capable to revert me back into the dark whole if i get hurt or scared again. i need to realize and accept that these things are inevitable and not close myself but open myself even more for the next person. The final solution will be to accept that the mosters?they are their, acknowledge them, deal with them, and never let them take over and do what they want with me. Then and only then will I be able to sleep.

You cannot resurrect Memories That Have wedged themselves between The future and the past, Yet are too fragile to Exist within the present— You cannot Resurrect The way you felt (The way you felt invincible) In remembering mannerisms that outlive The moment. You cannot reconcile The heart's defiance, Deliberately giving yourself to A void not of your own, Gathering gathering gathering Sentiment and stitching it into The fabric of your narrative, When you should have Gathered your senses in a pail And lowered them down into a wishing well... You cannot resurrect what never Wholly, entirely, unconditionally Existed without Your warm breath Encompassing it in meaning, Feeding an emptiness not of your own making. Yet, You cannot escape it either; So it lingers: Your regrets, your self loathing, your incapacity To accept that There is no way to breathe life back into Something that was dead before you Pressed its surface with your fingers, As if you, yourself could Impose a pulse upon what you could not Understand. Understand this, Time will not resurrect That which you long for in the night, It will not reconcile The incongruent nature Of desire: To feel To be numb To hold on to To understand To forget To destroy To save Save like a wilted flower pressed between Two aged, yellowed pages: present only in its allusion to the past. You do not wish the flower a different fate, To fill its dried up veins with green, pulsating life, To have it become what it once was. You cannot reconcile the purpose of its carefully preserved petals. You do not question its existence, Question why it has been uprooted from the ground, Why it has changed shapes while remaining a flower. It was never meant to remain the way it was. And so, it exists As an indicator of what it once was, As a reminder that it will never be again, As memories do When we press them down Between the past and the future, Until like the dried up flower, They cease to change, As we continue.

The New York City skyline from across the water; sunsets at sea; the shadows of clouds shifting over treetops; my sisters wishing on a shooting star; the sunrise over the desert from a hot air balloon; the warmth and light of a campfire as the voices rise into the sky with the embers. And I have tallied up these beautiful things and kept tabs on them, memories like index cards in my mind, labeled, categorized, logical, the way I like my things to be: *landscape, cityscape, skyline, harmony, melody, warmth, friendship* and then somewhere in the back of the drawer is a folder, a category that is not a category and it is spilling into the other categories and it is disorder and the absence of order, the incapacity to categorize beautiful things overflowing, not logically and then, there's you

I have seen
Suffocating in this state of mind Like a grain of soil On the wall of a perpetually filling Bottomless pit. All stale and collapsing mud. I can’t breathe And it is dark in here In this silence In this wet and stifling ***** blanket Of thin smiles That veil filth and dirt. Gritty, I can taste discontent ( restlessness stirred, agitated, weeping) Like a thorn in the side Of this torn and invisibly stitched mouth. My fingers bleed And doubt seeds Vicious weeds inside An already sick and nauseated mind. There is hurt in here And pain And the bittersweet unspoken refrain Of one lost in their Own directionless Domain. These walls I built, alone. That stare back careless And greet me daily with their Cold embrace. In this darkness, alone, I, us, we, cry. Small children, Whimpering in this feeling of self chafed friction. Whining, each whine followed by Gutteral, viscous, primal mutterings These madman Me, myself and i Locked in a tunnel Without light It is cold and we want so badly To relight the fire I claw at the fortification I have erected Around myself Then bleed some more Until the walls in front of me turn from la mort noire to rouge de sang Sitting here In this Abyss. Blinded by the inability to see The incapacity to feel Anything but the feeling of failure. This powerlessness to heal, All sealed up and drowning in my private pool of mud. Still it is dark in here, And wet, And bloodied And brooding. The cold walls are soothing And the veil still acts To conceal The extent of filth Scourging up the walls Of this inaudible and bidding cave.

Blinded by the inability to see The incapacity to feel Anything but the feeling of failure. This powerlessness to heal, All sealed up and drowning in my private pool of mud. Still it is dark in here, And wet, And bloodied And brooding. The cold walls are soothing And the veil still acts To conceal The extent of filth Scourging up the walls Of this inaudible and bidding cave.

Why am I crushing myself to death and beyond? Feeling bereft for that which I haven't touched in years. Leadening my heart, and dragging my feet because each step is a step further from lightness and youth. I bore myself with this weight. Loathe the tyranny, and mighty pressure inside my head which threatens incapacity of reason every ten seconds. Why did he come back at all? If only to suffuse me with the promise of nothing, and the intangibility of all ****** lovers? And, forgive me, for ****** is how I feel. Self-pity, you old devil! I shall have this out of me, or pick over it 'til my heart lays waste all good intent. I wish to be suspended, as the crystallised air, inside the strange house. Where, this morning, I chanced upon myself in mercury, and tumbled through the ages. As rose-heads wither on the stem, my head shall fall upon my chest with piquant, silent longing. And so, unto history a dream shall die. Should I die with it? Or resurrect a steely charm? Neither, sweet prince, for your fleeting and unseen visit has taken my soul. And, thus protected from the whimsy of flattery I stand, without notion, of which way to turn upon a once-clear pathway. Should I chance you in my dreams, I would but falter at your beauty, though fail to recognise you - for I no longer trust what my eyes alight upon.   I am torn - lamenting and tidal - with hands that were always empty. So what have I lost? Nothing, that is all. Nothing at all.

Slow Progress
Your bouts of literary thoughts spewing all over do not make sense. Your incapacity to formulate a whole and worthy thought has gotten the best of you fooling you into thinking that someone, somewhere is listening. Stop. Stop. you must stop. Your insensitive belief that everyone is falling head over heels for your talent, popularity and deep sense is proving to be a lie. I say all this sincerely with hatred, love and everything in between because I won't be good enough for you. So stop. Stop. Stop existing in my world.

Splints are beginning to break, wounds are seeping through the bandage, sores have become infected, scabs picked and pulsating-- Aspirin won't take away the throbbing pain, nor will morphine numb the brain-- the leg below the ****** turniquet grows gangrenous. Maggots inching closer, flies eagerly buzzing overhead, divebombing into ruptured flesh oozing blood and pus-- the body bag lingers menacingly sporting its gaping maw, hungry for mangled flesh and broken bones. Bloodshot eyes pleading, crooked mouth on a broken jaw begging, a sick contortion of a once beautiful body ****** forlornly on busy streets-- writhing in the weak mortal vessel that damns them. --- How long? How long has it been lying there? Trying hopelessly to stand stumbling like an old dog in its final moments of consciousness before the impending ejection-- how many have passed it by with a blind salute and a knowing fake smile? How long must this poor soul drudge through time slowly draining its insides and flesh feasted by the flies, dragged along by marionette strings-- when will we see this creature, in need of its good samaritan-- when will we stop the transient fix, peel off the blood-soaked bandages, and ultimately stare into the fissures for a final, effective prognosis? Look this ******* in the eye, peruse its peeling sallow skin hanging loose off cadaverous limbs-- lying, gasping cries rendered soft moans, lying in a cesspool of ****** fluids-- **** and **** and blood and pus drowning within itself-- trace your fingers along the scars and wounds, inhale the stink of death, accept your incapacity to understand the weight of its history-- a great anguish heralded by generations afore. Do not, then, think it wise to abandon the poor wretch, as your forefathers had done-- The Poison lies within you. To heal, then-- is not a matter of medicine, is not a matter of science, is not a matter of faith-- it is a matter of action. It is sick. It is dying. And it will take us all with it. Would you die for its sins?

She did this. She always does. Sending me into the dark, Just when everything seems to be falling into place, She has a break down. Swiftly falling out of grace. Gratifying a taste for violence, And gratuitous self medication. It makes the reckless danger, Enough to satisfy her impulsive nature. She’s so emotional, Empty and vulnerable. Afraid of every wandering thought. A picturesque noir, I know it’s all her fault. She isn’t real. I’ll say in repetition. Paranoid and anxious, She persuaded separation. Attempting to restore, Something that was tainted. Polluted by self hatred, She suddenly falls prey. To her own incapacity, To love and be loved. This impossibility, Seemed like everything. Regret is useless. She did this.

Dear Sirs or Madams, Of a literary persuasion. I write today with, A professional inclination. I fear, and worry, my imagination’s clock, Has, sadly, hit a writer’s block. In short, I hope (with a hesitance, hereout), To employ the services of a muse. Both, male and female, Are encouraged to apply, Though, I admit, my bias may lie, Towards those who kindness, mercy and love, Are praised and placed inherently above, The human desires of power and wealth And selfish ambition and pride in themselves. Though, I suppose, this seems hypocritical, I would confer this is politically cynical, Rather, I’m looking for something. . . irrational, An inspiration to fuel and flame my passion as, Something and someone, Yet, nothing and no one, An ideal, an idol, a god and a human. Something to write about, A story to tell. A depiction of the fire inside them that dwells. The light, the colour the sun in their eyes, The mountains and jungles, though secret, resides, The palaces, mansions and kingdoms that hide, Though present, disguised and entwined in their mind. Alas, I digress, Too often, I confess, My mind wanders and turns, Till I’m lost and undressed, Left naked of topic, ideas and abreast, Of chemical incapacity, Of pure relativity, So, a point of focus, a centre, I seek, you see? To aim my passion and love and thoughts, And kindness and lust and heart, of course. So please, If you find yourself, So inclined, Write to introduce, And flirt with my mind. Tease with your words, And caress with your lips, And, if it elicits a feeling within, I’ll write you a letter, Of black ink emotion, And seal it with blood, And endless devotion. Send it on its way, To rest in your hands, We’ll see where it takes us, Let fate make her plans. Yours forever, Your humble admirer.

Not by the cerebral unease of paradox, shadows agreeing to disagree (knowing they are more substantial than things). Not by the world being taken away from those who must observe days. Not by the incapacity for a fitting end to those observing days...do I state, the time is short... yet no unit shall have its fill of you. Konstantinos Mark

Those Observing Days
Nothing scares me more than the thought That I can become lesser To someone who once loved me in entirety What if my insecurity that she always helps to quell Becomes a burden in her every day What if the creativity That she once saw in my every song And poem Becomes nothing more than another word Carelessly placed What if my once compelling conversational topics Become but an obligation to reply What if the things that hold us together Right now Are made nonexistent And my words don't flow like they used to, That my voice doesn't sing as well as it should do Nothing scares me more My inability to take a step back and stay calm My perpetual insecurity and need for assurance My incapacity to overlook the things that don't matter I'm being pessimistic because I know she loves me But I can't shake off the thought that Everything she now knows about me Has already begun to seem unappealing The thought that the spark we set alight Could have already begun to burn out Because people fall out of love For the same reasons they fell in it

Nothing Scares Me More
Sometimes it's hard to admit who we are unapologetically. Nothing hits me harder to the core than not feeling heard. That moment suspended in time in which I try to explain just how I feel and they don't understand they can't comprehend. It's not a fault or a point to blame it's not my lack of ability to explain it's because they are not me and she is not he and we will never be each other. I can say who I am, but from where they stand a mile, a yard, or enough to touch hands the distance is too far to for them to see no matter how eloquently I speak So I set myself free. Instead of beating myself up and saying I didn't try hard enough it could just be their own incapacity to understand just who I am. It could just be they can't see me because they haven't found their identity.

spoiled sport learns love!
it has always baffled me across age and time how parents can sacrifice there children happiness on the altar of love to protect there own self centered ego. to protect there ideal ideology of themselves. God help anyone that dare to scratch that image for hell had no fury than a content-less character being unveiled as a fraud. God gives gifts called children for reasons known to him alone this does not excuse anyone from honoring this decision after all we call our selves Christians translated into followers of Christ who loved and honored his father. instead there is endless failures fueled by incapacity to accept and love without agenda's. not love believed but love experienced one rain drop into a bucket meant to over flow.

With a broken wrist on my right hand due to a fall at a litfest in city I staggered back on a Sunday noon swelling, pain and fear , helpless to do anything... then consultation, x’ray, surgery, implant inside with a stout bandage, a sling to announce my incapacity as my bank balance drained. dependency for every small thing.... shattered and desperate i sit . not used for a such a state my mind raising to tempers whole personality changed to irritation seeking loneliness. and as mind was calm once my left is fine it dawned... my memory clicked pictures of children and others , with no hands at birth or mutated due to mishap ; browsing the internet on laptop got inspired; my left hand fingers started typing on keyboard slowly and wrongly determination helped speed with no mistakes and after sixty days my first left handed poem I dedicate to all those with various disabilities; and surgeons, assistants and nurses, others who helped to cope up in hospital bed and family and friends kind enough to care with constant dos and donts as i move around - now with an arm band and a smile on my face! ............................................................................

The knife scalps it, The chaplain advised them to watch and pray, He is strong and pain is worse to the strong, incapacity is worse, Once or twice this side of death, He will just do nothing at all.
