1058 Bloom—is Result—to meet a Flower And casually glance Would scarcely cause one to suspect The minor Circumstance Assisting in the Bright Affair So intricately done Then offered as a Butterfly To the Meridian— To pack the Bud—oppose the Worm— Obtain its right of Dew— Adjust the Heat—elude the Wind— Escape the prowling Bee Great Nature not to disappoint Awaiting Her that Day— To be a Flower, is profound Responsibility—

Bloom—is Result—to meet a Flower
Dal Lake I float on Dal Lake Suspended between the thick soupy crisp air of soldiers water lilies, Kashmiri bread and the Muslim prayers that penetrate the hardness of war chanting Allah Bismallah Floating Islam Holy words drenching the air Drenching the green cloth of Hindu soldiers Sliding down the cool metal of a rifle 9 years of war 1,000 houseboats lie empty in the Himalayan fog Intricately carved furniture Thick with dust and the powder of blood and bullets Himalayan silhouette etched black against the song of lotus gatherers Foggy voices like cloud of moon Lotus lake Gray of war and desperation Children beg 1 rupee 1 rupee 1 rupee Endless monologue Parched like lotus shaped paddle They throw flowers to me endlessly I throw them back endlessly Time passes slowly like smoke on a lizard’s tail trailing in the thick, rancid air of burning meat and maple leaves Like a shikara moving over the glass of Kashmir The sound of a dozen Bangees floating over the water Hollow, solemn and mournful Echoing against the hardness of the surrounding mountains The circle of Himalayas Like a womb around the prayers of Pachin In the middle of the lake I hear the call to prayer Azan Nemarz Suba Azan Nemarz Pashin Azan Nemarz Degar Azan Nemarz Sham Azan Nemarz Koftan From dawn till dusk Azan 4 mosques 4 singers 4 directions staggered by a breath like an imperfect echo Azan slips into the pockets of island soldiers Waters the impatience of soldiers on the shore Steals into the vacant eyes of soldiers in the Mosque They want to go home to their wives and children They want to leave the place of prayer, which is not theirs The place of prayer, which has seen death The place where God was pushed out In order to not see the killing To **** what they don’t see The place, which was no longer a refuge Outside Dal Lake turns to the color of red lentils cooking in a dented metal *** In the Shikara boat we eat dal and rice and throw scraps into the silver water where it washes up onto the ***** boots of a soldier I hear the dull gray click, click of his rifle as it touches the ground The prayers have ended

and this day it was Spring….us drew lewdly the murmurous minute clumsy smelloftheworld. We intricately alive,cleaving the luminous stammer of bodies (eagerly just not each other touch)seeking,some street which easily tickles a brittle fuss of fragile huge humanity…. Numb thoughts,kicking in the rivers of our blood,miss by how terrible inches speech—it made you a little dizzy did the world’s smell (but i was thinking why the girl-and-bird of you move….moves….and also,i’ll admit—) till,at the corner of Nothing and Something,we heard a handorgan in twilight playing like hell

Self worth. The sense of ones own value or worth as a person. So how much do you have? Shes thinks if I fit in and change the agenda then I'll be much happier then, than with what I already have. If they don't say I'm pretty or the crowds aren't pleased then do I have value? Like I can't be happy with myself but I need to hear it too. My life is more than what I can just make do. They have to tell my worth then it'll be true. If he doesn't tell me my value then is my self worth through. If I'm not cool today, famous tomorrow, then all my efforts right now have been in vein. I had a girl once who told me that she was happier being in a relationship, but every one ended up with no real valuing shift. She said if I just have a guy then I'll be more than just a petty thrift. If I have *** and get wasted, ill be more than a girl in her parents basement. Not realizing her logic to that situation was misled and outdated. There is no question that your uniqueness is the greatest. Don't let the world make your self esteem so prostrated. Because I'll tell you that your worth more than the world and it should bask in your greatness. It was about that time she butted back in and said but I'm wretched and filthy a guy won't love me, will he? And I said that's what's amazing about self worth. As long you keep your head up then it doesn't matter what he thinks your worth. You were intricately made, a masterpiece of work. God made you perfect and righteous so how dare you say your worthless when he says you're priceless. Women are degraded but yet they are the very essence of our being. They are the seed of the earth that holds all its meaning. So don't be demeaning of how valued you are no matter if crowd doesn't find you worth seeing. You know that saying about giving credit, where credit is due? Well if that's true then I think it's about time to give women their rightful credit too. Because your the worlds greatest and wonderful masterpiece made in you.

Self Worth and Women
Self worth. The sense of ones own value or worth as a person. So how much do you have? Shes thinks if I fit in and change the agenda then I'll be much happier then, than with what I already have.

I’m knitting something new, it feels good. The new ball of yarn unraveling like time but I’ve still got plenty left. There’s potential in this dark teal wool and satisfaction when I decide the way I want to weave it. I make mistakes, I change them to become part of the pattern. The stitches are like a song in my head, I sing them, I tap them out with my foot and whistle along to the tune I’ve made up. I thought it might be a hat when I saw the skein but now I know it will be an infinity scarf. My six inches of beaded rib is a metaphor for my worries. Working my hands intricately help me forget them. I have time.

Knitting
of this wilting wall the colour drub souring sunbeams,of a foetal fragrance to rickety unclosed blinds inslants peregrinate,a cigar-stub disintegrates,above,underdrawers club the faintly sweating air with pinkness, one pale dog behind a slopcaked shrub painstakingly utters a slippery mess, a star sleepily,feebly,scratches the sore of morning. But i am interested more intricately in the delicate scorn with which in a putrid window every day almost leans a lady whose still-born smile involves the comedy of decay,

Of This Wilting Wall The Colour Drub
Nina pranced about the lush green grove. The pitter patter of her footsteps like raindrops on the ground, and her movements, like a fog rolled through a valley.   A white satin leotard decorated with flowery lace patterns A tutu that blossomed from her slender waist.   Hair elegantly tied back into a bun. Face, filled with symmetry, lightly made up with powder. Her cheeks flushed with a pinkish red blush, but natural like her lips of pomegranate red.   The grove, short deep green ryegrass that rolls over the lumpy ground like moss. Trees shade like many arms shielding many eyes. The pure white light of the sun shone through the canopy in beams. Nina danced furiously intent and music box intricately in and out of the beacons of light as a ballerina should following a lifetime of training.

The White Swan
In my hour of childhood I was simple-hearted and free. The notion of existence Intricately confounded me. The true nature of my essence Was not of my discerning. To be—right here and now I did not find such concerning, If existence is a concept Then I am the spawn of chaos. Truly, those of lack of truth Cannot bear what is definitively best Existence is brief, and life is a flower Prepossessing and free, but gone in an hour. This was my cognition set In a world consumed with children's life bets There is nothing in my trials, Nought in my sentimental thought Nothing in my possession, not at all within pure dreams That has the strength to restore my blessed, beloved simplicity...

Simplicity
Winters can be tedious. Sun dips into early dusk. A dead fire refuses to ignite. There's a quick repetition of opening and closing blinds over a barred window. In need of reflection I search a familiar face in an unfamiliar landscape. I have her in my grasp, half illusion, half real, a symbolic mask denies her true face, her glittering crown divides us by its radiance. Groping in darkness, I stumble over objects of wood and stone, my unsteady tread tripping over their contours. I light a candle. Bathed in amber light, our shadows merge. A new door opens, stretching the perspective. No formal borders here, they wouldn't survive the present climate. In their place, intricately carved figureheads and totems- a vision of the past. My eye is a camera, retinas branded with imagery for the photographer's delight- coloured pebbles, carved wooden animals, tin cans, bones..... ....A Glass Sentinel (though she isn't visible) I can see right through her- a vision of smokescreens and subterfuge. Past stumps of driftwood, past the uncut grass, a few flowers... ...to the fabricated backdrop of a burning house, black smoke rising in a thin stream. At the open door - The Guardian, (I know her inside out) unmoved, (she didn't bat an eye) defiant in a new skin, a softer version- The Mother protecting her children, arms splayed, prepared for fight or flight. A russet flame Licking her spine exhales 'Get out of my way!' but she wasn't listening. Smile fixed, eyes of a phoenix, a lion, a raptor, protector. We all need feeding, but not this way! Throw me a cloth, a napkin, a man-size tissue a lifeline! She wanted this, no, wished it- this symbolism, this burning of ironic portraits, to clear the deck, make way for new. It shook the house, its fate sealed behind closed doors. I compose myself, pull her back from the perilous edge, gather her in my arms. Fragments of shattered words flutter in the ether. What is real? What is fiction? A carbon copy of thousands? A charred corner? A forgotten candle? WARNING: 'Eating fire' is a risky business but can attract a large audience.

Pretty (adj): 1. pleasing or attractive to the eye, as by delicacy or gracefulness; "Pretty" is a word that's been spewed at you since the day you were born, A social standard set upon you that you had yet to even hear, but it was being used to describe you instantly; A "pretty little girl", a "pretty face", "pretty eyes", "pretty smile", "pretty outfit", Did anyone ever stop to wonder if you'd have a pretty soul? What about the way you could be brought to tears at the thought of shaming homeless people or victims of abuse, how your heart felt like it was ripping out of your chest when you heard about someone who was struggling, They didn't seem to care that you tested highest in compassion, they just wanted to know where you got your dress from. As you grew older the adjective turned from an innocent compliment to what seemed like a snide remark, The word "pretty" began to eat you from the inside out every time it was said like you should measure your worth in how delicate others find you; You stopped accepting "pretty" as a compliment when it turned into an adjective that was only associated with girls that were more than average but less than beautiful, You stopped accepting "pretty" as a compliment when it became an antonym of strong, like "pretty" girls were things that would break if you talked too loud, as if loving a "pretty" thing could never be synonymous with loving a durable or sturdy or resilient thing. D.A. Sharp once said "You weren't meant to be pretty; you were meant to burn down the earth and graffiti the sky. Don't let anyone ever simplify you to just "pretty"." And so when someone kindly placed the word in a sentence referring to you you learned to automatically put it into quotations because they were just trying to be nice, They didn't know they were reducing you to outer beauty, that "pretty" seemed less like a compliment the more it was said, like people couldn't figure out another way to describe you, As if God hadn't already intricately woven the threads of your DNA, as if he hadn't perfectly tinted every hair on your head to be its crisp burnt color or hand painted the irises of your eyes, No, "pretty" could no longer cut it. Because you had been made for bigger and better things, Those "pretty" eyes of yours will one day see things that God hadn't originally intended anyone to have to see, and those "pretty" hands of yours will have to pick up the pieces of a heartache that God had never wanted you to know and put them back together, and those "pretty" lips of yours are the same lips that will stand in front of sin and tell it that you have chosen Jesus. Because "pretty" is fine, but you have been fearfully and wonderfully made, a masterpiece of the Creator.

Anxiety is not a feeling As some of you may believe You wouldn't be alone Because plenty of people place it in the same category as Sad, angry, elated But one of these things is not like the others. You see, anxiety is everything and nothing All at the same time. Anxiety is when no matter how spacious the room is It seems to be getting smaller Until you can see every intricate detail on every wall Each corner touches your skin And flattens your chest As it rises and falls Your breath is getting short until it stops And then you become as functional as a corpse After all, isn't that what you are? Anxiety is When your love stands over top of you Watching your diaphragm as it rapidly pulsates Wishing he could hold your hands as they sweat profusely Wanting to breathe life into your convulsing body But instead, he cannot even grasp the concept Of why you are not alright. Anxiety is Accepting that your reality is not truly real at all And deciding to realize that people wish they could fix you But understanding that they don't know what to do And you don't either. Anxiety is Learning from all the You're blowing things out of proportion's And You put to much pressure on yourself's When you begin to have these panic attacks In which you feel like death in imminent Over trivial things. Anxiety is Being with people who love you And still getting bursts of loneliness That ignite and explode inside your pores and underneath your skin The blood flowing silently through your veins reminds you That you are all alone. Anxiety is Relating each and every thing you do To how you are not adequate And how you must take charge of everything. It influences the things that tell you "Make yourself throw up" And "Skip that meal today." Most times, you shoe it away with every particle of strength that you have Other times, you are not so lucky. Anxiety is hard to personify But it is. And as I muster up the courage in my soul And the hope in my being I realize that those things need not be stored Because I use them every day as I fight this battle. We are all waging wars Mine just happens to be against This thing that is so intricately woven into the chemistry of who I am. It is a part of me But it is not all of me And my voice is louder than this sickness.

And he told me, "You, my dear, are not a collection of people's memories. You don't need to house and protect everyone; you don't need to display and be proud for what they've done; you don't need to preserve them when all they do is walk over you. There will be moments that you have to guard them, but there will be much more of you having to watch out for your own self. You live for yourself and have confidence in it. You may be broken at times, but it's the fragments which make you much more intricately detailed.  You have the potential to be the main attraction. All you have to do is to let it show. Remember, you are not a museum, but a masterpiece of art."

M is for Masterpiece
A tangled web weaved intricately designed, by patient time. Three unfortunate victims of untold lies Glances misinterpreted, signs and all now cease. The truth will set them all free … She thought his eyes only held hers that way It will set you free they say The signs were all there… promising Braver he got… more confident he thought “Hey I like you” found its’ way out one afternoon Everything seemed to be right she thought …. Truth is those words were not meant for her ears. They fell on the ears of a close friend. A friend who doesn't see those brown eyes the way she does. Tangled and weaved the web becomes once again…

Complicated
There is a busy spider weaving webs, Hanging my understanding with Impenetrable mysteries— Intricately woven. Threatening all men, is This busy weaver in its labor Befogging man's reassuring. There is a busy spider which threads the day, Trailing its silver from wisdom to wisdom, Enwrapping one with the other— Until Wisdom is lost! Oh, there is a busy spider— Called Doubt!

The Weaver
Desires feeding our souls Gnawing and eating our flesh, until we're a vulnerable flush red Our pores exude the confident strife A conflict that should have never arrived To resurface our skin, bring back the childhood mind I still see the eight-year-old awkwardness, holding a staple makeshift poetry book and pen The young struggling mind, when dying was simple to find Daily I walk into the aroma of the sunlight Intricately snipping roses off their vines, soaking in their beauty as my fingers sting and bleed A decade incomplete She never stopped being a victim long enough to realize her heart was revitalized, made into an equal whole A rose petals thirst satisfied No insignificant being She was now a family

The woman in the flower sundress
music becomes mucus, leftover remnants of bacterial infections that refuse to vacate my brain no matter how many decongestants i consume, those sound waves reverberate back and forth and back and forth within my thick *** skull and i am driven mad by memories how to cut tender wires intricately woven into the most simple mass of a mess you will ever see i find myself muttering solutions in my sleep and when i reach conclusions i'm already half awake pen in hand, paper on chest, but ahh, it's gone, it's gone my dream world holds more clarity than my walking daze and i can only find the words for poetry, my tongue and throat are revolting, refusing to take part in walks down memory lane, fingers soon to follow suit

pain demands to be felt.. that is why you let break ups feel like shards of glass piercing through your skin, "i was using you" feel like acid being pumped through your heart ventricles spewing liquid anguish through your veins you let the memories consume your very existance so all that is left is the skin he once touched, the lips he once kissed and the emotions he still controls.. yes, pain does demand to be felt but you see, i am pain. i embody every syllable of that painful word..pain i am every lie woven intricately into the seams of the pillow used to cushion the blows i inflict. i leave you trapped in the very depths of  your mind, made easy by your naive attempt of grasping onto the words used to lure you in, i love you i am the whispers of motivation urging you to sniff sniff sniff your way deeper into my domain where you are nothing but a chess piece in a battle not easily won. i am the deep seated hunger that devours any sign of "happy"..the breaking, smashing, burning of hope i am a master of deceit, carefully manipulating your thoughts through the simple tug of a string, i am your master. but I was not born like this, I became it..so if you really think about it, I am love, because love was the reason I became pain. this may be confusing, but once again think about it.. love demands to be felt... that is why you sit smiling awkwardly at your phone, why you get butterflies..I mean the whole **** zoo in your stomach when he looks your way, you let your feelings consume your very existence until all that is left of you is the hand he holds so tight, the hair he moves away from your face and the heart you laid right out for him... yes, love demands to be felt.. but you see, I once was love.. I embodied every syllable of that beautiful word love I was the roof over-head when the storms of life came thundering by, I was anything you needed me to be because at the end of the day I didn't want to be anything if I didn't have you. So I let myself go, I became my own foe just so you could have that shoulder, I mean that extra soul to lean on you kept taking and never giving, this one sided love became toxic I took one look at myself and realised that I didn't know who was staring back at me.. much like how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, but the reverse, I began to shrink. the butterflies turned to moths, the smiles to tears and soon enough, love became pain, and they both demand to be felt.

pain demands to be felt.. that is why you let break ups feel like shards of glass piercing through your skin, "i was using you" feel like acid being pumped through your heart ventricles spewing liquid anguish through your veins you let the memories consume your very existance so all that is left is the skin he once touched, the lips he once kissed and the emotions he still controls.. yes, pain does demand to be felt but you see, i am pain. i embody every syllable of that painful word..pain i am every lie woven intricately into the seams of the pillow used to cushion the blows i inflict. i leave you trapped in the very depths of  your mind, made easy by your naive attempt of grasping onto the words used to lure you in, i love you i am the whispers of motivation urging you to sniff sniff sniff your way deeper into my domain where you are nothing but a chess piece in a battle not easily won. i am the deep seated hunger that devours any sign of "happy"..the breaking, smashing, burning of hope i am a master of deceit, carefully manipulating your thoughts through the simple tug of a string, i am your master. but I was not born like this, I became it..so if you really think about it, I am love, because love was the reason I became pain. this may be confusing, but once again think about it.. love demands to be felt... that is why you sit smiling awkwardly at your phone, why you get butterflies..I mean the whole **** zoo in your stomach when he looks your way, you let your feelings consume your very existence until all that is left of you is the hand he holds so tight, the hair he moves away from your face and the heart you laid right out for him... yes, love demands to be felt.. but you see, I once was love.. I embodied every syllable of that beautiful word love I was the roof over-head when the storms of life came thundering by, I was anything you needed me to be because at the end of the day I didn't want to be anything if I didn't have you. So I let myself go, I became my own foe just so you could have that shoulder, I mean that extra soul to lean on you kept taking and never giving, this one sided love became toxic I took one look at myself and realised that I didn't know who was staring back at me.. much like how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, but the reverse, I began to shrink. the butterflies turned to moths, the smiles to tears and soon enough, love became pain, and they both demand to be felt.

You hide in plain sight as does day when engulfed by night For darkness is simply…. The absence of light You claim to have special enlightenment And that your knowledge is for the better good of the people Pledge your allegiance and your success will be imminent Break your pledge and your death will be discrete So why would you become part of something so “elite”? With only one thing in mind; to see the human race in defeat. An interminable amount of subliminal messages Hinting at events that are destructive, demoralizing, and deceptive. 9/11… was it really an act of terrorism? Or was it just an evil plot… something you guys expected? Al-quaeda and the Taliban… roaming around in the lands of Iran But on the land I walk some say it’s a misperception Just a façade in our brain so the government secrets are protected. Michael Jackson… and the Kennedy assassination Were they both untimely events in American history? Ghandi, The King, Malcolm X, Princess Diana, Shakur, Paul, Marley, the Kennedys’, Lennon, Fredinand, Lincoln!! All of whom were either at your feet or tried to make your secret secrete These deaths… from assassination to suicide… were all… “unfortunate” to the human eye? Or were they “fortunate” for the Eye of the Beholder? But why go to such great extent to have these powerful and influential people wiped from the human race? To keep a secret that has been soooo well kept for hundreds of years? A secret society that is not so discrete… anymore Hidden in plain sight and away from the human eye….. Trying to keep a disguise that will lead to our eventual demise You aren’t doing the world any favors By keeping an explicitly intricate order in store You’re favoring your own world under one order By intricately deceiving the minds of innocent citizens So, you hide in plain sight, the light of the earth A light you hope one day becomes permanently dark Cause once again, darkness is only the absence of light. With no light, we will be forced at the feet of your might Despite a fight, with no light and your might, we’re all just mites stuck on your flight of new world order. Well let me just end on this… **** THE ILLUMINATI!

✿⊰✲⊱✿ "She's finally here!" Sue claps as we all rise from our seats and walk to the Ballroom. There they are, atop the marble steps! Queen Donna and Dean of proud Vesian, both dressed in bright red. The couple faces each other with loving smiles as the cacophony of cheers and claps echoes through the great Luciuscemi Palace. ✿⊰✲⊱✿ From afar, I study Donna's beautiful gown; the shade of wine, made of velvet, her sleeves long and puffed. Her bodice embrodiery is extraordinary; patterned with red Rose of Vesian, but since her marriage, she added a white one. The embrodiery comes alive under the light of chandelier; glittering with intricately cut rubies and agates and sunstones for Donna's red roses, emeralds and peridots for the coiling stems and thorns, quartz and white opals and moonstones for the white roses. ✿⊰✲⊱✿ Her hair in a curly updo, ringlets framing her wise and kind face with a simple white diamond tiara resting upon her head; a simple rose chain and earrings to complete her look. In contrast, King Dean wears a deep crimson coat of red and white roses brocade that falls past his knees and above his ankles; slits on the sides  and on the back as well, I imagine. I can see the black lining underneath that fine coat.

❀❁ тнє gαlα IX (I of IV) ❁❀
I wish sometimes I was a man of music. I see the right side of a tune sometimes and my body seems to feel rythm. My hands and fingers slide over imaginary guitar strings and invisible ivory keys. My ears vacuum up the sounds of beautiful music, from instruments to midnight breezes. From simple words to metaphors and phrases. It seems sometimes my inspiration comes from places that ears perceive as open spaces. My heart beats to stake it's claim, to find its rythm in a vast world of sounds. A world intricately detailed and expressive. That not only whispers but shouts, that bursts out of the spheres and penetrates the cosmos with sound. A world as grand and explosive as this, that overflows and spills onto us. Into us, even. A world like this and my heart beats. To find a heart beating like it's own. They seem to sound the same, but ears that know the difference can always hear it. whether loud or subtle. I wish sometimes I was a man of music. Because poems can't seem to write the way my heart beats... but it does help one to realize the difference, between "beats for" and "beats with." My heart used to believe it was beating to find some tempo smooth as itself. But it was beating in tune with someone else's tempo. it was beating with someone who hadn't been heard yet. I wished I was a man of music, but to be honest, I feel poetry is the only way to properly say that sounds can become trapped. Like an image can be captured, sound is trapped in the wind, and whispered on to the world. If my heart beats, it is flown on the wind. If your heart beats, it is flown to the moon and back. I heard your heart beating some long time ago. When we could hear those things. So my heart started beating in tune. To find your heart, and let it fly me to the moon. If I was a man of music, I'd have made a poem to sing to the wind. And it would have drawn you towards me. But I'm a man of poetry, and all I recall of finding you and trying, was imagining a sound I heard in a dream. Singing in a spotlight to a single beating heart in an empty auditorium. She stood there strumming upon rays of light, and humming vibrations to the tempo of her heart beat. Mine couldn't help but keep the momentum, but feel the rythm and accept her composure. Now I hear the same, every time your hands touch me, and your lips whistle melodies into my mind. Things you say get stuck on replay like songs or broken records. Things we do become sewn into vinyl, as the needle undoes our threads and leaves us naked. Leaves us whisping through the air, and when the record turns off. You're stuck to me, stuck in my head like strands of smoke from a candle, tangled and gliding into each other. In other words, I was never looking for just anybody. In other words, I was looking for someone to fly me away, to a place where we already existed together. In other words, Not a day goes by that you haven't flown me to the moon.

Petals weaved and laced for limbs,    Infinity intricately at his feet, Arrows of lobster clawed feathers,    Shooting lanterns up the street. Four corners in black,    Multiplied with moving tints, Grey flowing into the endless drift,    Scissors slicing ribbons, The final trick played by twins. Redly lit and pink warmth of a bird's statue,    Emitting frozen tones, Evermore catering his fortitude,    Fleetly plucking each leaf, Each one falling and bending,    Into smokey cat-eyed gleam.

24 July 2018 2:32 PM Sometimes. Being with you Is like handing you the vastly wonderful universe And you obsess so intricately Over one dim, long burnt out, star That you forget to admire The rest of the sprawling beauty Of the sea of sparkles That I ripped out my heart To give to you KG

Sometimes it feels like you are behind glass
her hair swayed in the wind, delicate and gentle her eyes were like beads of honey, just like amber and chestnut her spirit soared like an eagle, graceful yet powerful she was like 'summer linen', woven intricately; flying in a field of sunflowers
