"isabella" poems
You know the type. She's probably called something like Isabella. Rosalie. Ginevra. and you find her in the sort of novel where she's outdone by someone called something like Jane. Agnes. Lucy. She's remembered in criticism as Trivial. Silly. Foolish. She's defined as Shallow. Vain. False gold. She's analysed as the mirror, the contrast or the foil and you're supposed to vaguely dislike her. She'll reaffirm to the reader that the heroine, whether she be plain or beautiful, is always, in the end, Rational. Independent. Brave. She reaffirms the heroine as someone who learns and grows while the silly girl is left looking at herself in the mirror. The thing is sometimes I feel more like the silly girl, the girl who needs a hand, the girl who reads books and wants to believe the stories. Sometimes, I'm looking in the mirror, chest deep in my own trivial, silly little worries, looking at the puddles not the lake, and I know. I know I'd be one of the silly girls, not the heroine, out there, just surviving. I'd be one of those silly girls and I hate it - and yet - what's so wrong with the silly girls? What's so wrong with the girls who love themselves, or love the wrong people or love their clothes? What's wrong with the girls who are brave but not rational, independent but trivial, selfish but practical? What's wrong with those girls, because I always find myself preferring the Ginevras and the Isabellas anyway.

Where are the Eleanors And Godivas riding In power and insight, With spirit and mystique. They aren't in jewelry Or splashed on jeans. Vishti refused to attend Her drunken Lord; She is no mirror for Isabella, So inexperienced in love. Anne H. fought for liberty, Bella likes to shake blonde ringlets On her shoulders; The nervous Anastasia, The clumsy Swan, So modest And ill-spoken With downcast eyes. Katniss is no Palla Athena Or Garibaldi, though there's promise. They are bound, timid heroines. Malala never shot an arrow, But spoke like Rosa, like Golda. Yet, your childish sword-bearers Are still desired by the men They encounter; Not as Susan B was courted. Do they understand How the chase ends, These self-depricating heroines.

More Malalas, Please
My beautiful little Princess I wonder as I am... Watching you sleep in the silent night What travels in the mind of a sleeping child? There’s a smile at the corner of your lips Are you having a sweet dream? Are you playing with angels in heaven? Are you dancing barefooted in the garden of angels? If I could I beat the time… And travel back through the time tunnel I wish to be born again To be a sleeping child just like you If I should trade my life To be that sleeping child again I would…. Sleep my little princess Sleep peacefully through the night..

"Here Made of Gone" for  Isabella Stewart Gardner Lyrics By Randy Vera Music By: Randy Vera and Anthony J. Resta   http://bopnique.com/anthony-j-resta-and-randall-vera-finalists-john-lennon LYRICS : Vermeer, Rembrandt, Manet, Degas, from my three thousand year old Chinese KU, I toast you.  Mrs. Jack, I am your Bronze Eagle. I cut the painting at the frame – thieves by any other name. Mrs. Jack with handcuffs and ***** I overcame your walls. Your collection’s complete. Titian's Europa still hangs. The mirror to my: Piece de la resistance. I’m your creme de la creme. I’m the John with the Procures on the wall in Vermeer’s concert. Here, made of gone.  Mrs Jack, I’m your new William James. Through your kindness, you support me, in Dutch Room empty frames. Like John Singer Sargent, I toil between your walls. I am Vermeer’s "corn flower blue," indescribable.  The metaphysical: Known unknown! St Patrick’s Day 1990, I’m in Boston in the Fenway. For my penance, I’ll go to Saint John’s, drop to my knees, and like you, scrub the tiles clean. Titian's Europa still hangs, the mirror to my: piece de La resistance. I’m your creme de la creme. I’m the John with the Procures on the wall in Vermeer’s concert. Here made of gone.  Where language fails that where art triumphs. The interloper between camps of reason and dreams. I’m an event not cognition. Like any event stored in canvas, paper, pen ,or ink. Oh Mrs Jack I so love your "Head Band." I’m also a Redsox fan. I loved the Champagne and donuts, and thank you for the paintings.

Once upon a time there was an Italian, And some people thought he was a rapscallion, But he wasn't offended, Because other people thought he was splendid, And he said the world was round, And everybody made an uncomplimentary sound, But he went and tried to borrow some money from Ferdinand But Ferdinand said America was a bird in the bush and he'd rather have a berdinand, But Columbus' brain was fertile, it wasn't arid, And he remembered that Ferdinand was married, And he thought, there is no wife like a misunderstood one, Because if her husband thinks something is a terrible idea she is bound to think it a good one, So he perfumed his handkerchief with bay *** and citronella, And he went to see Isabella, And he looked wonderful but he had never felt sillier, And she said, I can't place the face but the aroma is familiar, And Columbus didn't say a word, All he said was, I am Columbus, the fifteenth-century Admiral Byrd, And, just as he thought, her disposition was very malleable, And she said, Here are my jewels, and she wasn't penurious like Cornelia the mother of the Gracchi, she wasn't referring to her children, no, she was referring to her jewels, which were very very valuable, So Columbus said, Somebody show me the sunset and somebody did and he set sail for it, And he discovered America and they put him in jail for it, And the fetters gave him welts, And they named America after somebody else, So the sad fate of Columbus ought to be pointed out to every child and every voter, Because it has a very important moral, which is, Don't be a discoverer, be a promoter.

The Secrets Lying By the Seashore by: Isabella Anishchenko As the crisp morning breeze arrives, the graceful oceans gleam. The burnt wood by the seashore, The amethyst unknown in the caves, Tells us about a story that shows us a secret from centuries ago. The hushed ocean reveals secrets in those who see it. The development of the sea creatures being developed. The clusters of ripened fruit from a mysterious tree. The mild beauty beguiled by the secrets hidden in the seashore.

A blast of hatred of acid tongues, A needless phrase to scold the tall, A forgotten hero they never mention, Take a look at the one called Robert Smalls. A swipe by fist of foul means, A dangerous concoction of sparks, A cowards language of sorts, Take a look at the one called Rosa Parks. A definition of weakness in ruling, A slap in the face of the now free, A collapsed cult now gone forever,, Take a look at the one called Isabella Baumfree. A word is a word to fight and hurt, A sentence pinned together from fools, A paragraph of silence descends upon you, The N word no longer a relevant tool.

my dear little sister
The beach swept away in the distance, The tide as far out as could be, A couple were laughing and playing there, She’d cuffed him, in fun, to a tree, ‘Now that isn’t fair, Isabella,’ He’d laughed, as she danced in the sand, ‘You’re going to be mine, Richard Andrew Devine Or forever be tied to the land.’ She taunted and teased and annoyed him, He said, ‘I just want to be free!’ She spun on the sand and she held out her hand And she laughed as she dangled the key. ‘You can stay ‘til I hear your proposal, It’s like squeezing out blood from a stone, If you fail to propose, this relationship’s closed And I’ll leave you out here on your own.’ ‘We’ve talked about this, Isabella, And you know it can’t possibly be, I’m already wed, when you came to my bed… For God’s sake, just throw me the key!’ ‘You know that you’ve never been happy, With her, or with all of her friends, It’s time you got rid of the lot of them, It’s time you were making amends.’ ‘I said at the start, Isabella, That a fling was the most it could be,’ A shadow passed over his worried brow As he looked at the incoming sea. ‘That might have been in the beginning, But you know it’s gone further than that, I’m having your child, did you know, in a while And I’ll not have you leaving me flat.’ The sweat had burst out on his fevered brow As the water encroached on the sand, ‘Did you know we’re beneath the high water mark, In an hour or so, I’ll be drowned!’ ‘The choice becomes yours, you must get a divorce Or I’ll just walk away and be free. There’s no going back, I’m determined in that, I’ll be walking away with the key.’ The sea was beginning to lap at his feet, And she to retreat as it came, Then suddenly she was beginning to sink While crying that he was to blame. In seconds she’d sunk in the sand to her waist In terror she cried, ‘Rescue me!’ But he was restrained by a half inch of chain, ‘For God’s sake, just throw me the key!’ ‘How do I know that you won’t walk away And just leave me to sink in the sand?’ ‘I wouldn’t do that, just throw me the key Or we’ll both become part of the land!’ She’d sunk to her shoulders at this point in time And she struggled to pull out her arm, Then raised it on high and she let the key fly As they both held their breath, in alarm. ‘I’ve told her I want a divorce,’ he cried, As the key fell just short of his reach, ‘And I lost the baby a week ago,’ She cried, to her neck in the beach. They stared at each other as she sank from sight Then the water rose over his head, As a little gold key, was swept by the sea To a hand that was already dead. David Lewis Paget

I still write you As a part of everything A thousand characters With the same heart in my mind This heart of mine Beats in time with yours You'll be my everything My ceilings and my floors And my bed Where I fall asleep to dream You'll be my love My understanding of god Dearest Zelda I could give my life And it never could be as much As you deserve So I'll give you the next one I'll give you all the stars I come from I still dream you I still am thankful You found a way to save me When nothing ever could The beginning and the end Of everything I love you I am you And we are the rain Born from our tears before We fall together Holding hands Sweet Isabella I keep on throwing parties That I can't enjoy Because you're not there And one day I won't need wine to drink One day I won't need drugs to get high I may be great Gatsby dies for Daisy My soul can't be complete If not for you Its as though our broken pieces Put together make a perfect whole I hope you hear the hopes in my words That they speak to you I hope you feel the sorrow in my handwriting That I'm not with you now

Letters From F Scott Fitzgerald
It is dark and cramped and this room But it is private and serene to me. Beneath my feet the water rushes up and down, up and down The smell of salt washing the air and calming my nerves He would tell me this is exactly right, not to worry The smell of salt wrapping around my shaking legs, He would understand the way it holds me. The way he does. The smell of salt holding my trembling hands He caresses my fingers, plants soft and sweet kisses on them; just like this. The smell of salt nestling in my windswept hair He likes the smell of the ocean, he won’t mind it The smell of salt soothing my brain with its marine tendrils of happiness, of bliss He is a man of the sea, he’ll know why his bride came here to collect her thoughts The ship rocks, lurches, rocks This is nothing compared to the storms I have weathered for him But no bride truly wants bad weather on her day At least, no bride whose heart and future is bobbing on the sea. The smell of salt wraps an arm around my shoulders He is the one who gave me the words for this feeling. The smell of salt sweeps my dress around, blowing it all over the place He would smile if he saw this. And the smell of salt reminds of those words spoken, years ago, And the smell of salt tells me who I am: “Isabella, you are my perfect bride,” Of course, his hair had oozed the aroma of sea salt as he held me that night My sweet sailor, always wearing sea salt And Isabella, his perfect bride. And the smell of sea salt, ever a guiding light.

. "That there Is'belle's house stinks wunderful turr'ble,"croaked Emma Beiler at their quilting bee. "Jah...vell," sighed Rosanna Yoder. "All them there katzes , ain't so?" Accordingly the two ladies set out to pay Travis and Isabella Salter a visit, only to be politely told that they had were in the process of taking some cats to a local shelter. Two weeks passed and to the Amish folks' disgust the odour had merely intensified. "Them there Englisch are chust liars!" Potato Sam spat the words out along with a *** of chewing tobacco. " Ach, vell," sighed  his wife Rosanna, unaware of her heavily sweating underarms. The Ordnung  strictly forbade deodorant as well as perfume. "Reckon I best  mosey over and see fur myself." Travis opened the door with a tired sigh. 'Chust thought I'de ask vhat fur stinks yer house up so vonderful tur'ble...Izzy tells us youse gettin' rid of them but-" A puzzled look crossed Travis weary face as he glanced toward the kitchen. Irritation gripped him, not lessened as Rosanna glowered at Tabby washing her face on the couch. Then a waft of a familiar scent, overpowering, drifted toward him from the kitchen. Brussel sprouts enhanced by -. With all the stress, Isabelle was increasing her calming herbs, mixing the powders.... Valerian? "Good evening, Mrs. Yoder." He motioned her toward the door, locking it firmly behind her. For a long time after she was gone he stood staring out the window.

Rid of the world’s injustice, and his pain, He rests at last beneath God’s veil of blue: Taken from life when life and love were new The youngest of the martyrs here is lain, Fair as Sebastian, and as early slain. No cypress shades his grave, no funeral yew, But gentle violets weeping with the dew Weave on his bones an ever-blossoming chain. O proudest heart that broke for misery! O sweetest lips since those of Mitylene! O poet-painter of our English Land! Thy name was writ in water—it shall stand: And tears like mine will keep thy memory green, As Isabella did her Basil-tree.

one last breath
In 1492, Columbus had a few Things to do Before he sailed the ocean blue. He needed some green, If you know what I mean, So he went to see the King and Queen Of Portugal, England, and France: They laughed, shook their heads and said, “No chance.” While his Homies back in Italy Said, “Christabo, you gotta be kiddin’ me. You want to do WHAT!? And you want US to pay? We think you're a nut, now go on, go away." But he didn’t give up and he didn’t complain, He shook it off and took off for Spain Where Ferdinand and Isabella, Thinking him a righteous fella, Told him they would float his boat, If their country he’d promote, Plant their flag on lands discovered, and Bring them riches he uncovered, so They all signed on the dotted line, and Columbus said, “The pleasure’s mine!” Then he smiled and bowed and said, “I’ll see’ya!” And hopped aboard the Santa Maria. See Christopher knew the Greek Geeks found, That instead of flat, the earth was round, So he thought he knew, or at least he guessed, That it might be best To get Far East by sailing west. He pulled up anchor, set the sail Told ninety men, success or fail, West, they’d go, and west they went Seventy days, provisions spent, When land was spotted, dead ahead, Columbus planted the flag and said, “I claim this land for the King of Spain, In doing so increase his reign, And underneath this flag, unfurled, Declare New Spain, a brand new world!” What Columbus didn’t anticipate He was 500 years or so too late, For Eric the Red, and Leif, his son, Long ago discovered Newfoundland. Now when history tells North America’s story, There’s room for both to share the glory. But another fact, it’s become quite clear, There were thousands of people already here, See life in Asia wasn’t so great, Some folks decided not to wait, They just walked across the Bering Strait, So Chris and Leif both got here late!

wish me luck she said, as she flew away to find a new home. I watched her wings flutter, and waved my hand to bid her farewell. I wonder to this day, if she found the place she was longing. But one thing I am sure of, there’s no place she can’t dwell.

Isabella
Silence ebbs Down the street By my side. By my pride. Shattered not By the patter on My umbrella, Down Avenue Isabella. And silence flows. The crooked sidewalk Grabs at my feet And my pride snickers. Silence breaks not For your ambient Bickers. A door of wickers' Make On Avenue Isabella Swings to regression And silence flickers. For whom The bell tolls My pride reprimands. The dead need no Gentle hands. And on Avenue Isabella Porous souls are steeped So deeply in Their own pretension To fill the lonely holes That the bell tolls To a harmonious roar Of crowded silence. Dead Silence.

Avenue Isabella
I doubt I will ever forget The note you left me On the day you walked out that door *I'm going to find a new world under the ocean Somebody once told me there are ghost towns there Do not mourn my departure, for I am happy now* With that, you married yourself to the Thames Leaving me with a hole in my heart For all of eternity

For Isabella
Isabella stood alone outside. She was in the garden chasing snow. Her nose felt the chill, her fingertips too. The tips of her beautiful delicate toes, were fast becoming blue. In the corner under the trees, she'd made a snowman. She swore she heard him sneeze. He wore a lovely tartan hat, a purple scarf, a pair of soggy bright red gloves. She thought, perhaps he needed a lady friend. Next to him on his right hand side, she created a very chilled girlfriend, made from fairy snow. She built a buxom snow mamma, with a plastic gem in the middle to play the role of mamma's nose. Isabella found an old Alice band and popped it round her soggy head. Between the three of them they discussed having an infant, a snow child of their own. All three of them got ready to discuss the coming child. Isabella started building snow person number three. A pretty little snow girl, with strands of straw for yellow hair. She wandered indoors and pinched some precious pebbles from real mama's plant *** Isabella gave her snow girl bright blue shiny eyes. Mummy let the dog out, he ran around the garden. So happy to be out and free, crash, bang, wallop. Knocked Mr Snowman to his knees. Isabella built him up again. Mr and Mrs Snowman and their daughter were her friends. She kissed them all. Bade a goodnight, to one and all. Isabella went indoors. It was nearly time for bed. The morning sun ripped through the blinds. She looked outside to see her friends. They'd gone. Perhaps they ran away. It was a little warmer today. In the garden just a slushy puddle. Wearing a tartan hat purple scarf and bright red gloves. (C) Livvi

Dearest Isabella, It pains me to think of you for you are not within arms reach. In fact you are millions upon millions of reaches away, And that realization hurts the same every time I come to it. Yet I still find my thoughts to be of you, why is that? Perhaps I simply do not know better than to give in, Even if what brings me joy brings twice as much pain. Like a man so rapt in the beauty of the sun, He does not care that he may never look again if he continues. And yet I carry on, allowing myself to think of you. Opening the door to my thoughts without hesitation. I seek the comfort and felicity it brings now, Knowing all too well it will return grief and verity. Or perhaps I carry on because I have hope. Hope that one day the reaches will be fewer, And I can be free of the pain that comes when I think of you. Hope that soon it will all be a distant memory. Hope that one day I can come home to you, Never doubting if you will be there or not. Hope that when I think of you, nothing but happiness will come And I can live with no regrets, knowing my patience was not overlooked.

Dearest Isabella
The moon is bright, as bright as your beautiful eyes Your soul is sweet as candy, Your heart is dark, Wicked as the devil him self If I can change your heart I would, If I could fight all your demons, But they destroy me deep inside I'm not strong enough, your only thing that can destroy me Physical and mentally If you follow the trail, come in my mind Of the wicked woods of darkness, **** all the monsters that live inside these woods They run and fleet from you, Because your so dark, stronger than anything "any god I can image" The beautiful angel I was in love with, Now my tears come from my eyes of the name Isabella I'm paralyzed of the neck down Because your magic is so strong, I refuse to fight you You grab me by the neck, Your eyes red as blood I looked you in the eyes and told you I love you I closed my eyes and told you - Never more
