I love birthday cake especially cake with thick vanilla icing but a German chocolate cake would be a great one too. I like it with ice cream and icing colored designs on it. Incidentally being sweetened wedding cake turns me on too. I hate it when you get a thin slice of birthday cake due to being a diabetic. I love it to see people eating their cake with forks I love how some motherly cooks come up with a chocolate icing cake with really funny waking candles on it. I like to blow out candles. I like it when you're old and the just have one candle because there wouldn't be enough room for all the candles as old as you are somehow I think I already wrote a song about this subject but that was a while back. p.s. You may wonder how I can go on about trivia like the essence of birthday cake but I do.

Birthday Cake
I remember it was cold and quiet. We stood up beneath the scattering stars. Silently staring at the landscape outspread in front of us, where the mountain touched the sky. Losing count on the steps taken, you wondered how many dreams townspeople had to reach the summit tower seen from afar; Spreading lights randomly with no purpose to guide. Little yet arrogant. Like a candlestick being put on the top of the world, accidentally. Or maybe, incidentally placed to embody the messiah for those who would discover it that way — which might be peculiarly irrational. Despite the lame fact, it still mesmerized you. I just knew the moment your starry eyes were seen in the dim night. And out of the blue, it captivated me too. We sneaked from the despotic night, releasing laughs from the deepest and most untouched alley in our lungs. Our fears were freed. Nonchalant towards the thing ahead of us, even to the time that felt prematurely withered. "I remember once this priest brought hope to our house, and we just followed him since then", you said. That’s how you told me that miracle wasn’t the thing that kept us living, but hopes that enlightened. Unyielding lost in the most chaotic ecstasy I have ever encountered. It became that moment when a knock on the door wouldn’t be able to break our reverie. Modest. Humble. We then walked unafraid through the open door that led us to the home where the sun rises.

Something about being 151 miles from home walking around barefoot all day in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California wearing a vest and some black cotton pants, drinking good Cabernet and lots of water, eating homemade pasta salad and chicken sandwiches, in the early-Autumn Summer-esque temperatures, the third day of the 2013 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, witnessing Gogol Bordello and The Devil Makes Three, with my great Friends, and also Roomates, Abdul and his Wife, and their friend and her 20 month old Son makes me feel sort of ... ***** Funny how that works; Unprotected feet on very Public grounds Unprotected feet on verily treded grounds; Going barefoot is nice, though. (Except the ******* sidewalks, incidentally. Even the streets are nicer to walk on barefoot. Even pineneedles! I am disappointed, San Francisco! I thought you were on the side of the hippies!) If anything was learned from the Sixties, it's that unprotected anything in San Francisco is easily a hazard. - Now, that was a ******* amazing day. Now; to the shower and then directly the **** to bed! Away!

Keep me in your locket, doll, Keep me tied real tight. Keep me safe, my love, Or I might die of fright. And fear. And Paranoia This is nothing to kid. I am totally, and incidentally afraid of my mirror. And my friends. And enemies, Frenemies, They're truly out to get me. Ghosts around every corner and skeletons in e'ry closet. I am trying not to cry and dying to avoid it This hell that holds me Baby Lock it Lock it Lock it Baby, keep me in your pocket Baby Lock it Lock it Lock it Baby, keep me in your pocket Oh, lock it Lock it Lock it I'm crying. Keep me in your locket, doll, Keep me tied real tight. Keep me safe, my love, Or I might die of fright.

the little pink paper clamp you see once upon a time there was a little pink paper clip which had three anchors on it, one of them is blue, and 2 are black. the anchors mean it keeps the paper from blowing away, you see it opens really widely and it keeps all of your personal papers from blowing away, but what i am doing is saying, what will happen in the anchors wanted to move away from the paper clip, like if one moved, it will lose 1 third of the power and if it lost 2 anchors, they would lose 2 third of the power. if it lost all three of the anchors, the power of the paperclip will lose all it’s power and the only way to get the anchors back is go the ship dock and take some of the anchors there, sure it might mean the ships haven’t got anchors but this paperclip needs it anchors because it needs the power of which it brings. at present the little pink paperclip without the anchors is sitting at the bottom of the stationery desk hoping that one day the anchors will come back so he can keep paper in a folder. this was going to be a hard job, as the people thought the anchors were way to heavy to carry home, despite the anchors being small on the clip, so one man went out on a boat who was doing whale watching and when they threw out the anchor, which incidentally was blue, and he had to stay by the anchor, so when the tour was over, he took the anchor away and the blue one goes in the middle of the paperclip, and then he walked around the other ships to find 2 black anchors to give the paperclip a lot of power to keep the paper down, but there was only one black anchor on every boat, so he rang up the company to find a black anchor to make up the 3, but he took one black anchor to bring back to the paperclip and it got two thirds of the power, but they were having a hard time trying to find the other black anchor, you see they found a pink anchor, the same colour as the paperclip, and they found a pink anchor but it was far to light, they found a green anchor but it was like green cordial, so he went out again and he got a orange anchor, but no it wasn’t the one and he bought a purple anchor, the same colour as black, but no way, this wasn’t working, none of these anchors fitted on the paperclip, so they looked hard and wide, hoping they will find a black anchor you see they needed to keep the paper from blowing away from everywhere around the office, and just as we gave up for day, we found the second black anchor and we put it on the paperclip and it worked the paper was tightly on the folder, and that is how they gave anchor power to the paperclip, but the only problem is, the ships will miss their anchor, so we must go out to buy some for them, and we did, and our paperclip hooked the paper together and every boat was anchored down, and everyone is happy.

I was not allowed to be angry, so I bottled and drank my rage with wine chilled by too many ice cubes-- I suppose that’s why I shiver at inappropriate times. My parents said: You have to be the better person. Even as you ***** those girls, called my sister a liar, mocked my mother and father as they drove to town, attempted to arrest me for “demeaning of character.” But I lost my temper, once, I felt it hot like nausea creeping all the way to my fingertips before I screamed and shouted and shattered two glass bulbs hard against the tallest pine tree in our backyard. I cut my middle finger picking up all the chips, incidentally making me rethink my plan to punch you. Instead, I imagined myself holding my father’s pistol, the one he showed me how to shoot from 100ft, complete with target acquisition training--just in case you tried running--we both know you never took me seriously enough for that. I bought a faceless target shaped like a man, picturing your acne-skinned cheeks warped with that smirk you wore when I tried telling you to **** off. All this before my anger faded, fog rising from too-hot blacktop pavement when the air cooled, snowflakes falling as I stuck my tongue out, swallowing each crystal like a word I could have said.

*I think about *** I think about *** It's that kind of thing you're not supposed to think about but everyone already expects that you do It's the thing you hear in whispers and shouts which people mask with humor. It's touch magnified amplified yet lately cheapened. I think about *** not the *** of two hot bodies mixing their sweat but the *** of exploration knowing everything about the other person hands moving slowly in pitter patters sifting carefully through limbs and bedsheets. Incidentally, there are melanin filled marks all over my body something I inherited from my mother on bored quiet days I wonder if anybody someday somewhere will knead through all my folds and count each one. I think about *** ..how another's arms and fingers feel tracing lines and curves hands following the rise and fall chests beating to the quiet rhythms of exhaled breaths ..how a kiss feels with lips closed because tongues are disgusting alien creatures I don't want to think about (which is kind of funny I guess because *** has that other stranger 'alien') Incidentally, my sketch pad smells of oil pastels my journal's almost filled I have a math exam next week a biology quiz tomorrow I'd sure love some chocolate ice cream maybe? I think about *** but not too much.

It's weird how I remember your legs, the curvage of it and sparseness it feels, including the colour tone of it. It's sweet how I remember your smile the one which made your eyes gleeful as you parted my bangs lightly. It's sad how I remember your texts those with hurtful but truthful words which reject yet lingered with your concern. It's helpless how I remember the look you gave as you incidentally glanced over, only to hope that you didn't. It's painful how I remember your back as you turned, after delivering your last look of longing as if you wished for more but logic disapproved. It's bright how I remember the future as we used to describe, it is still bright to me and my hopeless heart.

I stirred from a dream-dazed, I saw flashbacks of a knotted silver gleam. From it a figure bent forward. Here, at last alone in the dark the knight or stable boy or creature took his lover's hand and instead of pressing each fingerprint between his palms and reciting how he couldn't breathe in her absence he snatched a dictionary from the nearby shelf and began delivering words beginning incidentally with the letter H. Over and over again until he almost fled from the room in Hopelessness. she was the Hazel in his brewing coffee; the Halo of his prayers Hideous leaked from the page and he Hiccuped. Reminded suddenly of her behavior silent, sleepless nights came forth and smothered his speech. Anger rose and each private grief was spit into the crease of her hairline. it oozed into the tears between her eyes, splashed onto her sweaty, reaching arms. drenched, choking in fever, she waited until it settled between the ridge of both ears. they said nothing he couldn't look at her- she couldn't stop staring after a couple minutes he walked away and she fell like raindrops into the pinched, center drain

In Abraham Lincoln's city, Where they remember his lawyer's shingle, The place where they brought him Wrapped in battle flags, Wrapped in the smoke of memories From Tallahassee to the Yukon, The place now where the shaft of his tomb Points white against the blue prairie dome, In Abraham Lincoln's city ... I saw knucks In the window of Mister Fischman's second-hand store On Second Street. I went in and asked, "How much?" "Thirty cents apiece," answered Mister Fischman. And taking a box of new ones off a shelf He filled anew the box in the showcase And said incidentally, most casually And incidentally: "I sell a carload a month of these." I slipped my fingers into a set of knucks, Cast-iron knucks molded in a foundry pattern, And there came to me a set of thoughts like these: Mister Fischman is for Abe and the "malice to none" stuff, And the street car strikers and the strike-breakers, And the sluggers, gunmen, detectives, policemen, Judges, utility heads, newspapers, priests, lawyers, They are all for Abe and the "malice to none" stuff. I started for the door. "Maybe you want a lighter pair," Came Mister Fischman's voice. I opened the door ... and the voice again: "You are a funny customer." Wrapped in battle flags, Wrapped in the smoke of memories, This is the place they brought him, This is Abraham Lincoln's home town.

Seeking my ideal match, I'm often greeted with a rude reality, There isn't one. In this crowded world, I was made to accept singleton state, 'Coz the gender ratio ain't equal. Living alone demands a lot, A lot of strength from a guy, And that guy has to be strong. Incidentally, that guy is me.

Oh baby, prepare yourself for a fitting tribute at the hands of my lyrical ability. I will rhyme effectively much as a successful sportsman might employ his talents in order to win a tournament of some kind. Indeed, my mastery of rhythm and rhyme will be such that you will find yourself very powerfully attracted to me. Girl, you put me in mind of a famous celebrity noted for her physical beauty. If you were, let's say, a car, you would be a really good car. The sort of car I would wish to own and drive. Not convinced? Then let me assure you that I can easily put paid to my rivals by deploying the linguistic and musical prowess which I believe I mentioned above. Oh yeah. Incidentally, I would think nothing of expending quite considerable sums on nice things to give you. That would be nice, wouldn't it? So, baby, if these enticements are sufficient to stir your interest in me then I would be delighted to exchange contact details or something. Oh yeah.  Get down.

It is one in the morning, My eyes open, It never fails. No amount of cotton clouds Or sheep to count Can send me back to dreams Yet to be dreamed. Nothing else can make me drift, For I am now wide awake. Down the stairs I quietly walk Careful not to waken the others, Lest they stir from their ongoing snore-y visions. Straight to the kitchen, I tiptoe, Make myself a mug of hot, hot coffee, So I could start reading, Taking in a mixture of Glorious, mad, Magical, loving, Happy, groping, Sad, vengeful moments.... But internalizing all these emotions Takes its toll... I stop: it is time to write of My own moments of glory... Which incidentally, Rhymes with...momentary, Poetry, dignity, Love-ly, friend-ly, Complexity, celebrity, I could go on and on...and There is only one... One exceptional moment That comes to my mind: One unforgettable, bittersweet autumn... My mouth, my lips now parted, My stare, undirected, Dreaming~~~drifting... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just arrived in Neverlandia! Swimming through its endless, Imaginary, intangible seas Where I am alone Where I am free Free, to be with My intangible one true love Only there can we hold hands Only there can our eyes meet There, where we can stand, Or sit so close Breath against breath Flesh against flesh No words spoken, Just eyes talking No moment wasted, For no one dare ask or tell the time In Neverlandia. ~~~~~~~~~~ In such a wondrous journey I also have acceped: At the start and even in its midst, Comes twinges of apprehension And sadness That unsettles my heart, my mind, Thinking outrightly of the Inevitable end of said journey. Fleeting, the moments seem, I must travel back. ~~~~~~~~~~ I ***** for that imaginary switch, and With a heavy heart, I turn it off. ~~~~~~~~~~ It is suddenly so cold... I stretch an arm to reach for My hot, steaming drink... Oh, but it has become A mug of cold, cold coffee! I border on "mad," Lost thoughts now swimming in anger. Have to chase back my muse, Refresh my memory Poem is almost done. Have to regain My mind's composure, Have to ensure My life's composure. I need, I need my Panacea This early morning... yet, I'm Afraid of that same old question: "But....where are you?" ~~~~~~~~~~ Sally Copyright 2014 Rosalia Rosario A. Bayan

Even if it rhymes incidentally, You still don't have to care. After all this is just another poem, And poems don't need to rhyme. Some people won't find sense in a non-rhyming poem, But it's as though I cared if they even read my stupid ones. Now it seems you get similar feelings about the world incidentally, But hey, you need not feel yourself alone as there are other poets too. And if by any thinnest chance you still feel lonely in the world of poetry, Then look up to the one who might have introduced you to HP like I do.

I can turn my gaze away Command my tongue to never take your name Be your ***** secret For as long as you want. I can lay my eyes on the roads, Waiting for the day you knock my door, I can manage not to bait an eye Every time you go off to her when we fight. be your anything But I'm only a girl, There is only so far I can go, I'm only a girl, Who made a mistake of falling in love with you. I'm only a girl, So desperately in love, But I still bleed, From your unpredictable blows. I'm only a girl, Looking at you like you're the **** sun, But it is still not enough. I can play pretend, Tell my friend it's okay, The marks on my arms, are nothing I just tripped, a time too many Incidentally that is also where your hands held me. I can take the guilt, I can drown my voice, I can be your machine, Aligning my thoughts with what you wish me to be I can rust my mind, cause what I think is never right, I can turn deaf and dumb Be a shiny object you show off to your friends If that is all it will take For you to stop inflicting pain, For you to realise I'm just a human Because I'm only a girl, And I lash out and scream, In hope to get through to you, Or anyone. Because I'm only a girl, On this sinking ship called hope. A silly girl who has not yet realised No one else can fix you up

Self worth
My ego is intact, I stole **** from work and my mom isn’t disappointed in me. I got papers, I got coffee, I got a lot of sleep, I read about that boxer got shot in the head [incidentally] and they said; “You can’t keep a good man down for long.” So I’m trying to find out what is “a good man”? Was it the hit and run I saw, or the fathers pushing their kids as products for their success? My high school class, or pretentious friends, or my managers cozy in jobs supported by nepotism calling me lazy, maybe my half dead beat father who kicked me out when I was 18 and convinced me I’d be an alcoholic if I ever drank. Now your cleaning my ***** out of your sink and holding me and telling me I’m so good. Maybe it’s my landlords who I never see, trying to evict me, or all the police officers who put like a hundred bullets in those folks car, or every guy who dished out a backhanded compliment to a girl who already cuts, or maybe, I know, it’s the president of the United States. I paint my face red with lipstick and wait for the chatter of a crowd to turn into a riot of bodies. I sparkle in the light. I scream.

“Eight Gods.”
The issue with the Ego isn't the Ego itself: like many other aspects of sentient Life, Intention and Willpower navigate a Vessel whither it may will to be- consciously or no! True Wisdom is subtle: implicit in every single last one of the ten-thousand things. Incidentally, such subtlety nests grave danger: such capacity to be overlooked or ignored- manipulated, extorted, distorted; abused, neglected: abandoned. Antagonized. Beware. Tread lightly. Please think and act with utmost care. Be as Tao; as the rest. Non-seek Zen mind. Everything is precisely as it must be, with exception of Human mentality. Follow your Heart, but utilize thy Brain. Find a purpose and learn from the pain. Through just struggle does One justly gain. By Empathy, could we all do just the same? Let's just try it and see, shall we? The Force takes care of it's own. Thank you for reading. Blessings upon thy Path. -------- ----- --- -- - -
