"insignificantly" poems
will suddenly trees leap from winter and will the stabbing music of your white youth wounded by my arms’ bothness (say a twilight lifting the fragile skill of new leaves’ voices,and sharp lips of spring simply joining with the wonderless city’s sublime cheap distinct mouth) do the exact human comely thing? (or will the fleshless moments go and go across this dirtied pane where softly preys the grey and perpendicular Always— or possibly there drift a pulseless blur of paleness; the unswift mouths of snow insignificantly whisper….

Will Suddenly Trees Leap From Winter And Will
Can something really be beautifully  tragic? Is it possible for a being to be gracefully destructive? How can a life be insignificantly worthwhile? Does that mean an existence can be grotesquely appealing? Could you be more radiantly  pitiful? You are stunningly heart-rending. How are you so delicately harrowing? You are harmlessly treacherous.

Dangerously Ravishing
Oceans fish stars, that are overhead, swimming; those dying masses of sun, looking the night sky to pieces. Silver dots barely skimming deep dwelling currents that invisibly ply sky netting that makes the sea’s mirror, a gridded field filled with shoals of stars setting small fires that out last the jettings of Amber Jack and squid around a sea turtle who they easily tire. Filled with eggs, ready to be this moon’s batch on a brief beach made white by the nights contrast. Not all turtles will inevitably hatch. Those who will, will live if lucky and fast. The stars, that insignificantly wink, ride the currents that rise and sink

Oceans Fish Stars
at breakfast another hotel restaurant another choice to be made of mediocre cooked or bland continental a fish bowl of floor to ceiling panoramic windows people-watching strangers passing insignificantly through one another's universes parents desperate to negotiate the morning without a scene suits with shirt and tie top buttons undone for now retiree couples happy in each others silence or those lucky ones who still find words when alone together or the curious solo diners alone and lost in their own thoughts or striving to hide how they watch those others as they go about their business of goodness-knows-what another banquet shared unbeknownst to all in attendance

This is not a love poem. Because I know nothing about the entrancement of Romance It’s like watching a mime mimic antics It makes me panic. No, I write epics and tragedies. About political catastrophes. About the rhythmic anatomy of poetry. Not about “How do I love thee…” But let me count the ways that these days Have grown strange; The passage of time has seemed to stop. This black clock’s bold Tock and Tick have been erased and I’m still sick with the aftertaste From the venom of your kiss Your toxic lips made me itch that Poisoned twitch One-thousand times Before my bloodshot eyes Went blind to your beauty. “A most unfortunate disability” Professionals told me But I just sighed and smiled insignificantly “No, no, you see this, Ironically, is immunity.” Imperviousness to seduction But this is not a love poem. It’s a professional epiphany An observation All research and annotations state things like Blind Fortunes and Heart complications are just Minor alterations that Spark fascinations in Lab coats and stethoscopes. Isotopes of foreign hopes Are my safety ropes to cope with my Distance away from you another day And there I go again. Every ******* word I say will start out right But then convey to betray me with the Cliché decay Of a fluttering heart. And on this day when time has stopped I’ll re-lock my jaw that dropped And, with Blind Eyes, this mental case Will try to trace the chalk outlines Of  lucid days With the white spine Of the brain stem But this Is not A love poem. Because I refuse to be Entranced by Romance. I’m the kind of guy who would Panic in That Frantic state of mind And draw away from Sunlight To find warmth Moonshine To bite the bullet and lace up these shoes Because eleven shots and twelve steps Is the closest I get to refuge. See, I dream in the Black and White Of a first version television box set About Bloodied tragedies And political catastrophes Set to a beat based on The rhythmic anatomy of poetry Rarely about “How do I love thee…” Or the bedpost marks of Fading, Chalk-Laced Memories.

Dichotomy
What if it's a matter of faith You have it and I Do not. Perhaps that is the line that you Refuse to cross It's a thick deep line Drawn in the sands You stay on the shore Yell to me as I'm pulled out to sea You think I drown here, in this body of fluid doubt You're so sturdy, strong, safe upon the shore Do I need saving? I'm fine swimming on my own Though you may see my treading water as Drowning I assure you, I'm not It feels right here Saturating myself in salty waters While you sit and hold fast to flowing sands through your fingers Worrying that I don't know what's out there Thinking I'm a lost cause A man of land, I myself, merely a wave I kiss the shore only to be pulled back out Two worlds that collide at the line I don't need the oxygen that you need to survive There is no island, No Oasis This is all it can be And so I'll meet you at the line Begging you dip your toes Hands Splash your face "No" you say "But please" I beg. "Don't go." I promise there is sand at the bottom of the ocean, Land isn't all there is There is infinite sky We can transcend this Maybe Sure we could try, But what's the point? There is no middle ground There's a line neither of us will cross This can't be it. But it could be. I can't survive in your world Nor you in mine It's a matter of faith You have it and I Do not. It's that line in the sand We Refuse to cross. But I want to. Just to have you. I'd sacrifice my life But not myself So yell to me from your precious sands We'll remain like this Longing like this Until this dividing line This insignificantly significant line, Is washed away by my Persistent waves And you're anguished enough To tread with me.

I (am lowercase)
I’ve got a thirst for a life that I can’t live And i’m stuck in my head again I guess it’ll all have only ever been daydreams And when they find my body They’ll say reality tore her apart at the seams Her hands were too small To catch all the rain that fell So she drowned in a river Of empty pain I didn’t know it was possible To feel empty And to hurt At once My limbs sting With everything I never was With never having been enough And you’ll say Baby (maybe) How could you do this? And I’ll whisper From my ***** grave I loved you just the same I love you just the same Sometimes Life Is just too much Were getting overpopulated you know Too many of us here It’s a big planet you know Give it a hundred years maybe And we’ll all be gone You can forget about great-grandchildren I’m doing us a favor you know One less person on the planet I don’t want to live insignificantly I had big things planned I was going to do everything And more I don’t know how I ever believed this when I have trouble walking out the door Or taking a crowded bus Or looking someone in the eye I’m doing us a favor you know I only ever caused you pain And dismay And you only ever pushed me away.

The Thirst
There's a well of disappointment In observing human nature, For regardless of the colour, The religion or the creed; There's a metabolic failure Apparent in the makeup, And it's all about ego And materialistic greed. I see it in the corporate's And the hallowed halls of banking, It drips like grease from politics And stains God's children too. It permeates the populace With a cloak of ashen pallor And extends from Kings and Demigods Through humanity to you. And even little children Are caught up in the maelstrom Through television's fanfare Of fashion and excess, I feel tragedy unfolding In our hedonist behaviour I see brother clawing brother And the future in distress. Take a look around you At the evidence of trouble Observe the calamity Of Wall Street's greed. Feel the discomfort Of intrusion by Government, Feel the pain in the pocket Of taxation's bleed. The war drums are pounding All over the planet Greed and anxiety Run hand in hand, Corporate warmongers Driving the politics Flailing for more As their empires expand. What of the people? We ordinary people, Who invisibly strive Insignificantly? Pushed and shoved Bought and bartered, ....In this tempest of greed What chance have we?

This train ride Is the only thing that connects us now It is the only thing left that’s running From me to you It is the only thing that’s still moving For once I am back, I am not leaving again Once I am home I am not leaving it behind I made this mistake once Of thinking I could have left Everything that killed me That tortured me and pursued me All of the pain that subdued me But escape isn’t possible for the thing That is in me You need to know, my love Because I know, now This pain created me And I owe it to this pain to let it destroy me See I am sitting and I can tell something isn’t right This train moves too quick and the breaks seem too tight And as a whole the train itself is shaking to be loose And if this train tips over, there is nothing you or I can do We have to let this happen We have to let us die I keep thinking of how many people are on here With more valuable lives than mine It’s not because I’m lonely And it’s not because I’m me It’s because even back in my small space there with you I’m so insignificantly free I’m going back Because I realize this is all I’ve known This feeling of being nothing Makes it so much more plausible Makes it so much easier to understand I have lived this way forever And it only makes sense To go back to feel it there It only makes sense To leave you behind Because if I take you with me Then we’re both going to die This train ride Is the only thing that connects us now These tracks that run through the one island we’re on You are on my island, the island I’ve lived on my whole life And there’s so much of it you haven’t seen And there’s so little you know of me Your entire life in a different state Is my entire life with you here Because although you have come to me You know nothing of what I used to be You know nothing of what I’ve done, What I’ve become Where I’m going What I want In this life that keeps insisting otherwise I realize this train is my lifeline Once it stops, the movie is over The song is done And there are no more wonders about If we’ll ever be something No more worrying No more drinking No more thinking of me But never being open to talking Maybe you don’t think of me As much, I thought you did I thought you would I thought I could do it I thought I could do this This train ride Is like my veins in my body Like the alcohol that runs throughout his sitting next to me I am looking away from him and pretending it is you, instead I am pretending the smell Is the taste and array of your breath This is our connection Watch it go, farther away Watch it disappear Watch it get smaller and smaller Watch it move on to something other Than what’s always been right here Watch it sway, watch it crumble This train is me And I realize you’ll be sad You didn’t get to see it leave Once I am done, I am not starting over again Once I am here, I am not ever leaving Once I am alone, I have pounded this road in, jack Once I am home, I am not coming back

This train ride Is the only thing that connects us now It is the only thing left that’s running From me to you It is the only thing that’s still moving For once I am back, I am not leaving again Once I am home I am not leaving it behind I made this mistake once Of thinking I could have left Everything that killed me That tortured me and pursued me All of the pain that subdued me But escape isn’t possible for the thing That is in me You need to know, my love Because I know, now This pain created me And I owe it to this pain to let it destroy me See I am sitting and I can tell something isn’t right This train moves too quick and the breaks seem too tight And as a whole the train itself is shaking to be loose And if this train tips over, there is nothing you or I can do We have to let this happen We have to let us die I keep thinking of how many people are on here With more valuable lives than mine It’s not because I’m lonely And it’s not because I’m me It’s because even back in my small space there with you I’m so insignificantly free I’m going back Because I realize this is all I’ve known This feeling of being nothing Makes it so much more plausible Makes it so much easier to understand I have lived this way forever And it only makes sense To go back to feel it there It only makes sense To leave you behind Because if I take you with me Then we’re both going to die This train ride Is the only thing that connects us now These tracks that run through the one island we’re on You are on my island, the island I’ve lived on my whole life And there’s so much of it you haven’t seen And there’s so little you know of me Your entire life in a different state Is my entire life with you here Because although you have come to me You know nothing of what I used to be You know nothing of what I’ve done, What I’ve become Where I’m going What I want In this life that keeps insisting otherwise I realize this train is my lifeline Once it stops, the movie is over The song is done And there are no more wonders about If we’ll ever be something No more worrying No more drinking No more thinking of me But never being open to talking Maybe you don’t think of me As much, I thought you did I thought you would I thought I could do it I thought I could do this This train ride Is like my veins in my body Like the alcohol that runs throughout his sitting next to me I am looking away from him and pretending it is you, instead I am pretending the smell Is the taste and array of your breath This is our connection Watch it go, farther away Watch it disappear Watch it get smaller and smaller Watch it move on to something other Than what’s always been right here Watch it sway, watch it crumble This train is me And I realize you’ll be sad You didn’t get to see it leave Once I am done, I am not starting over again Once I am here, I am not ever leaving Once I am alone, I have pounded this road in, jack Once I am home, I am not coming back

We the people are a Sisyphean collective our punishment: progressing humanity With fiery eyes  and frothing mouth we charge towards  its surfaces bashing those with scrawny shoulders ricochet like sparks from flint watch as we fall back how it moves a fraction of a hair length knowing that if all our efforts were combined surely, humanity would’ve accelerated But we the people are a democratic anarchy each one to their own Each thrusts towards their own direction each blow is counterbalanced by another as we foam like sea surf on a shoal crushing from all sides and our humanity crawls in place amongst us For we, the people are a paradox of will the driving, and the stalling force Insignificantly small, with significant resistance the viscous drag that ebbs and flows a choreography of chaos and confusion we are so many so many more And humanity is singular a monument to our failures its minuscule fluctuations a testament of battles fought but from a far, and from way forward it is but a speck of dust which, ever silent, floats throughout the cosmos

rediscovering myself: a list of obvious unrealizations
She's hoping to go back to the light soon Spending summer nights, returning home Ever longing, staring at the moon The sun, stars, present time As days stay in form To witness the show Of an intergalactic presentation And with a long applause Break their silence At first dawn She's hoping to go back to the light To see her leading stars Shine so bright And take their chances On a second deal of cosmic proportions To take the hand of the dusky dancer Who'll secretly romance her With his many rings of ancient stones She's hoping to go back to the light From planet earth Where she stands Looking so small Staring insignificantly Into the Source of it all She's hoping to go back to the light Where it all began To meet her maker And create a new deal breaker Of significant power and force She's hoping to go back to the light The unconditional love That breaks through her heart Slipping through her fingers Sending messages from above She's hoping to go back to the light No more to be reborn In physical form But to rejoice on a higher plane With no more trial or pain She's hoping to go back to the light Where clouds are no longer formed And the sun is the only star she'll see Where through the darkness There's nothing endless; Only the promise of being free.

The Breach Interpretation: Is a mild chemical defect, found on the losing side of painful guilt itself. Making (or, causing) such troubling acts of kindness, the very rhythm (full of justifiable results...), on the biggest possible gimmick...that could ever be committed. That's just a rough outline of the very interpretation (of "The Breach") itself. But the Breach part, is truly insignificantly broken from the deep inside out.... The Breach itself however, fully adopts the very different struggles between both "what is right", and "what is wrong" (with one's own personal image, and their own personal struggles at large). But that doesn't mean nothing should be any different, then when it came to how right that very someone's personal image was, and how awfully wrong their own personal struggles were...when they interpreted it into millions upon millions upon millions of different fragmented individual pieces, (of their own collection). (And that's just the tip of the iceberg, when you finally console the very dynamic realization, of eventually, coming to terms with the long acts of perspectives...) That then obviously shows that those millions upon millions upon millions of different fragmented pieces (with their very own different properties and meanings), because nothing is truly conclusive in ALL these specifics areas and points (of a system that has more to offer, then any other order of things which could tilt at ANY moment...) Revealing a mere simple reaction in their form upon an even simpler side-effect. Which tips the balance of power...and creates the most unsteady order of chaos that could become either an unstable universe (that could hypothetically become "stable", anyways). Or just another standard, simplistic, normal sense of self full of such logical wit, (or the smallest of components of each), could then finally define both each others strengths and weaknesses. Once this happens, everything becomes much clearer, (of course with time). And this very interpretation of ("The Breach"), can then become fully "self-established" towards just what truthfully surrounds this very Breach itself. Nevertheless, things now become more founded upon. (When once it was truthfully subjected towards an unfortunate one-sided enclosure that didn't know how to officially become as one.) Because it was simply missing its other half that was an entirely unknown placement that didn't know it even existed. The Breach Interpretation is full of all sorts of unbreachable flaws! But for how much is truly unbreachable...fully depends on the sorts of acts you commit towards. That's entirely why, this very interpretation is fully masked by the intentions of either others, (or your very own, intentions). Because in the end, intentions lie their way too victory! And that's the start (not the finish), towards an act of serious possible violence...(that truthfully defies the very expectations...), of what The Breach...truly is!

I find these days my head bows down, Lost in trees which bear no roots around. We all continue to strive for their peaks, That we might find the validation we believe speaks. Because in a forest of hard line and concrete, We think all there is, is a standard to meet. Our bodies are young, but our souls are so old, And craving some place wild and bold; Where the forest which hems is ancient with moss, And the rivers carve streets no foot can cross. Tall mountains send out the wake up call, That every man and woman will fall. At the end of the day, the wild remains, And strives to survive through mans foolish claims. Yet I am lost to the toil and to the strife, Of simply trying to make it with my life. But make it where? As what? And why? Because I try to escape the fact that all will die? No solace can be found in the wealth of a king, But give me a glimpse of an eagle on wing, Amongst valleys and coasts where few eyes see, Where the snow melts and brings new life to be. A morning crisp with dew, and a chorus of song, Some place wild where our old souls belong. So short-sighted, so corrupt and insincere, We try and conquer all that we claim to hold dear. Even though we are but fleeting on a beautiful plain, We are determined to burn, to clear and contain. What if we were to become who we could be, Honouring and reverent of all that is unbound and free? To feel insignificantly small again, That is the amazing gift of summit and glen. A simple reminder that we are all but participants, Not gods, completely unaware of our littleness. Sitting in awe of the symphony of life abounding, Lost in our utterly magnificent surrounding. So I choose to take to the trails, the ridges and paths, Which lead to the furthest and cosiest hearths; To meet other wandering souls who have left behind, The confusion and delusion of a self-obsessed mind. And be prepared to lose and find myself again, Away, into a wild embrace, her rugged domain. My soul cries for freedom, some vision to see, New life bursting as a bud on every tree. Swept up in the miracle of a tale much bigger, Than the measurable wealth of my yearly figure. For in the wild, can be found the perspective I need, For my searching soul to truly be freed.

Some Place Wild
I find these days my head bows down, Lost in trees which bear no roots around. We all continue to strive for their peaks, That we might find the validation we believe speaks. Because in a forest of hard line and concrete, We think all there is, is a standard to meet.

I travel daily To chase the Sun, it's radiance empowers me For things that lose meaning. I , insignificantly scurry along my labors under the Sun's demanding gaze. "Make haste," Said He, " For I will not remain fixed; I must fly." I labor, weary of his glare. And yet, where work is through, I journey west, in vain of his flight, hoping for his purpose in warmth. Instead, I am faced with the harsh reality: The Moon is cold and distant, and will not suffer herself to give warmth or purpose. And so, I repose. Waiting for the race to begin anew, To renew my spirit within the purposes of the Sun.

Movement of the Sun
It was almost a year, September 11 2009. At this time last year, honey you were mine. My mind's going back, thinking thoughts of then. The talks we had, things we used to do when. We were together, but this time this year. You're with her, and I'm alone here. Insignificantly enough, we both have significant others. We've both fallen again, we both have separate lovers. But I miss my bestie, my one true friend. The one who said, he'd be there till the end. I miss just talking, with you about it all. I miss having you catch me, every time I'd fall. This time last year, it was all that could have been. September 11 2009, but now it's 2010. So much has changed, us, me and you. Nothing more is said, nothing more to do. Just to reminise, to remember it all. Silently crying, here I am, I fall ...

September 11 Last Year
i’ve heard that black holes eat stars for snacks i wonder if black holes can die as insignificantly as a fly who sat on my arm or a butterfly who splat against my windshield alive one second and gone to some other place the next maybe gone to nowhere where do black holes go when they die where have my old eyes gone to where are you and do you ever think about what happens to the stars that blackholes swallow like the tongue i swallow into my throat when i’m kissing someone i don’t want to do you ever wonder where a black hole goes to when it’s gone

black hole corpse
Sleeping Lullabies of thunder and gore On a wet night's tremors at my mother's coastal shore I heard the hum of your pitch dark delight, Roaring with wraith o'er the lagoon Raging tides and wreaths lo-where shroom.   That's when I heard you bouncing off the shadows. Another folly night in the jungles of board and milky turns of rocks, I saw you whistle past the bamboo blades. But it was on the terrace of my paternal home that I saw the insignificantly significant red fireflies on a pitch dark night embraced in palms, I felt your touch by mangroves and pines. You come again to lull me to slumber Thundering bolts refrain from shallow rompers. Take me with your silent coos and moos. Light my dirge and moan for moons. Let's overthrow the albatross and harrow the silvesteros. Send my greetings to the land of doon. I am en route, already my beau

Ode to the Monsoon' ****** Night
I don’t know how this happened but here’s a brief summary of what I do know: At some point in history a rodent belonging to a group of large ground squirrels known as marmots peaked it’s head through the ground and fell headfirst into the all of mankind. Observant as we are we watched said rodent, presumably for decades, we named that rodent marmota monax we named that rodent woodchuck we named that rodent groundhog and then be it because we were drunk or tired or deliriously confused by our purpose in this life, we decided that the entire pendulum of winter swung on one insignificantly particular day of the year when a groundhog with a proper name emerges from his burrow and either does or does not see his shadow because the sky either is or is not overcast. It’s that kind of thinking that brought us here into the swell of feeling like we are designed to repeat ourselves same way train tracks prove that most circles are not perfect, a freight train and a record player tell similar stories. It’s that kind of thinking that brought us here into the shape of a species who even on our best day is literally not satisfied with the everything that has ever existed same way our taking of selfies is a detriment to releasing ourselves from the all that we ever were when all we have are these constant reminders. I never asked you to be pretty or handsome or perfect just ready and honest and willing to take nothing to bed with you just knowing how to emerge from your slumber with the entire pendulum of a season pivoted on your correlation with a specific source of light. Look at me my eyes are trying to tell you a story in real time about how I’d give up the sunburn to live in your shadow so long as I was never a cloud in your sky. You are a needle touching the spiraling grooves in every square inch of this earth picking up the vibrations which you then translate into the sound of your existence I’m all ears. I don’t know how this happened but one morning I woke up at the exact same time as I woke up the day before with a song stuck in my head— it was you it was you with a harmony it was you with a record scratch it was you with a slow fade it was you and you kept telling me, you said, “Frankie, if you keep waiting for Bill Murray to show up you're never gonna make sense of anything."

As I look at the faces of other people Struggling to survive the whirling winds of life I knew I wasn't special I'm just a cliche seeking attention And I'm no special to be treated like one I am just a little piece of humanity Significantly living on my own but Insignificantly existing to the world.

Insignificant
I know what it's like to have everybody there But just feel like you're completely alone. As if you're talking, they don't listen, Are you even there at all? Are you dreaming?  Are you sleeping? Insignificantly small. I am screaming, I am crying, I am tearing up my soul. As I'm dying, they're all lying, there's no further left to fall. If I lay here in the dark, No one would blink, no dog would bark, Because I'm alone, lonely, lone.

Little Lost Lady (2009)
When lust turned to love I was stuck in the Sea between, fighting the single wave that held me in place. It crashed over me and I was under it looking up. When I tried to ask for help, all that escaped me was a cloud of smoke destined for wherever, spreading thinly and insignificantly throughout. As the smoke dispersed, so did I. My torso sank quickly from the weight of a heart conflicted, scraping the reef and leaving cloudy red trails suspended above it as it plundered, finally hitting the deepest, darkest ground like a common rock. My arms slithered away like eels, swollen with stinging electric courage as they ruthlessly pursued their prey, feeding off the triumph of the tangible path of destruction in their midst. My legs walked back to the land they were used to, where they tried to get everything back in line; but the line was blurred. So they went in all directions-- left, right, and wrong, and they got nowhere. My head was carried off by the current, until I suddenly thought to lift it up to the surface. Thinking about surfacing was hard but after I did it, I realized that the wave looked farther away. I think I’ll make it through today, but tomorrow I woke up bleeding and breathing smoke, wondering Who I am.

To be an Eel
I crumble Into insignificantly small pieces And spill Through the cracks of insanity Insuppressible Falling so slowly It feels almost as if i'm floating Dispersing Once i reach the callous bottom I was once surrounded By brightness Never acknowledging The precedence it didn't receive The light was always a given A requirement for life It was never anything Extraordinary Captured by crazy I lay still in the dark Watching beams of light Flicker Through the very cracks That made everything Vanish After i fortuitously invaded From this angle They look almost like A possibility of hope A way to reclaim life Infiltrating The dark that suffocates me The rays sweep over Just long enough For me to inhale Every glimmer Now imperative
