"jealousies" poems
After the rain, I see the daisies, In their clean, white dresses, Fresh and perfect. Washed and bright, Their faces lifted to the skies, And open to the sun. Is it their youth that makes them so fearless, Despite their diminutive size? A naivety of spirit or Lack of worldly knowledge? Or do their fleeting, precarious lives Lead them to so embrace the now? No, their beauty springs from a truth far older, For they are neither flashy nor flamboyant. A daisy knows no subterfuge, Has no jealousies, no conceit. Its wisdom lies deeper, And it bends with the wind. To value the time that we have, To see beauty in the smallest places, And to love without fear, Is a talent easily lost, And the line between happy and sad is drawn With a thin pencil and a light touch. In miniature perfection, A daisy lives fully, Its face in the sunlight. It lives, and that is enough. Vicki Watson © 2014

Daisies
I see you Sweet like candy But definitely a handful I don’t want to do anything to you I don’t want to do anything for you I would love to experience with you So the fave color is red There is beauty behind your eyes – in your head Brains built of action from your hands and happening in front of your eyes What a surprise when you spoke to me Simple yet impressive and something I did not see coming Love is where you find it Hot – sour – bitter – slightly messy Unconditional from the crown at the top of the head to bottom of the feet Now what ? I don’t want to do anything to you I don’t want to do anything for you I would love to experience with you Think of making love in a chair For this to work Both of us have to be willing and somewhat fair Are you really sure you want unconditional ? Can you actually accept my faults and failings ? I have never been to prison I believe in feelings I am an old man with ideas, designs and thoughts in a battle with the Universe I know how to trust you Can you hold the word commit when the sky falls ? I will never let you fall I promise I’ll never make you cry When you get scared I’ll hold you tighter You do not have to ask I am your fighter I would never question the Creator The thief of air has taken love from me Several times Was my heart being prepared for you ? Now what ? Can you accept my creative mess process ? Can you see the fun in how I get things done ? Are you willing and ready for the ride of a lifetime ? If your answer leans toward yes, double buckle – it going to be bumpy – but fun Our daughter will be divine Will you balk when I beg you to try for a son ? Your effect on another male can change the world and all humankind Spirit guides my life now I can’t explain it I know it when I see it Here are my jealousies Are you willing to grant me your T E A ? Time – Energy – Attention Let’s lock this energy in place I am willing to do – not try – do Bring me you I am better than I used to be Not as good as I will be Can you love a person like me ? I do not want your day I do not want your night I am a person of commitment I want your lifetime I will cherish those days you are mad at me I will cherish those days you don’t understand me No matter how sweet I promise to never cheat If I have to crawl thru broken glass I always come home Can your comfort zone let me share ? Right or wrong Will you be there ? Some things I do very strong Others start with tender Madness is not something I accept Yet, know that I stand And put all of life in a blender Here is the warning – the caveat : Are you a moth or a flame ? Feet on the ground Living The possibilities are all blue sky Tender ********** makes Angels cry

Australia takes her pen in hand To write a line to you, To let you fellows understand How proud we are of you. From shearing shed and cattle run, From Broome to Hobson's Bay, Each native-born Australian son Stands straighter up today. The man who used to **** his drum", On far-out Queensland runs Is fighting side by side with some Tasmanian farmer's sons. The fisher-boys dropped sail and oar To grimly stand the test, Along that storm-swept Turkish shore, With miners from the west. The old state jealousies of yore Are dead as Pharaoh's sow, We're not State children any more — We're all Australians now! Our six-starred flag that used to fly Half-shyly to the breeze, Unknown where older nations ply Their trade on foreign seas, Flies out to meet the morning blue With Vict'ry at the prow; For that's the flag the Sydney flew, The wide seas know it now! The mettle that a race can show Is proved with shot and steel, And now we know what nations know And feel what nations feel. The honoured graves beneath the crest Of Gaba Tepe hill May hold our bravest and our best, But we have brave men still. With all our petty quarrels done, Dissensions overthrown, We have, through what you boys have done, A history of our own. Our old world diff'rences are dead, Like weeds beneath the plough, For English, Scotch, and Irish-bred, They're all Australians now! So now we'll toast the Third Brigade That led Australia's van, For never shall their glory fade In minds Australian. Fight on, fight on, unflinchingly, Till right and justice reign. Fight on, fight on, till Victory Shall send you home again. And with Australia's flag shall fly A spray of wattle-bough To symbolise our unity — We're all Australians now.

High on the mountain, overlooking the valley, the valley where I was born, is a wooden bench. Standing to attention are the bottom of the deep V are houses, all the same, all in a row. From the bench the village can be watched It's comings and goings, the neighbours gossiping talking about nothing and everything. Everyone is there down below, John the butcher, Dai the milk, Mair the bread, Oliver's shop, where anything and everything was for sale. A picturesque Welsh valley, where everyone is actually Psychotic, and where you'll never leave except in a coffin feet first. Those of us that get out, stay out. Old feuds still burn, families not talking, not remembering how it started. Chocolate box prettiness masks the tension, the hate, the jealousies, the negativity held in the ***** of the valley. How green was my valley? It wasn't green, it's colour was red, like a hell fire. Oh, the trees were green, the mountain was glorious but that valley was poison.

Mountain bench
FALSE world, good night! since thou hast brought That hour upon my morn of age; Henceforth I quit thee from my thought, My part is ended on thy stage. Yes, threaten, do. Alas! I fear As little as I hope from thee: I know thou canst not show nor bear More hatred than thou hast to me. My tender, first, and simple years Thou didst abuse and then betray; Since stir'd'st up jealousies and fears, When all the causes were away. Then in a soil hast planted me Where breathe the basest of thy fools; Where envious arts professed be, And pride and ignorance the schools; Where nothing is examined, weigh'd, But as 'tis rumour'd, so believed; Where every freedom is betray'd, And every goodness tax'd or grieved. But what we're born for, we must bear: Our frail condition it is such That what to all may happen here, If 't chance to me, I must not grutch. Else I my state should much mistake To harbour a divided thought From all my kind--that, for my sake, There should a miracle be wrought. No, I do know that I was born To age, misfortune, sickness, grief: But I will bear these with that scorn As shall not need thy false relief. Nor for my peace will I go far, As wanderers do, that still do roam; But make my strengths, such as they are, Here in my ***** and at home.

A Farewell to the World
It's cold outside. I found a box to hold within complacent thoughts, outrages and jealousies. Firewood to keep me warm. Labels on the things I sought. I'm seeking the definition of what why and how words are wrought My raddled mind latches on to the slightest runaway fantasy. As if reality is a scorned lover who refuses to dance with me, declining my apologies. My dearest paramour return to me.

Life gives my stomach knots Dread conquers my thoughts I am weak, for I can take it no longer As life goes on, it gets wronger and wronger I look to the pills; I look to the bottle They are kind and act as my throttle Uppers and downers My friendly encounters People: my enemies Hates and jealousies They are all better than I could ever be They have more than I could ever see So what will I take today? What will make these thoughts go away? But they'll be back, just like a pest What I need is eternal rest

Dread
The flesh lusts daily against the Spirit and the Spirit wars contrary to the flesh. The opposing tenets of grace and iniquity can never with each other… completely mesh. For the redeemed sinners operate by grace, while the practitioners of unrighteousness prefer the dark, ungodly ways of wickedness and will not inherit the Kingdom’s fullness. Fleshly works are clearly evident: adultery, fornication, idolatry, sorcery, uncleanness, contentions, jealousies, ****** immorality, hatred, envy, revelries and evil-mindedness. Fruits of the sinful flesh are plain to see and spirits cringe- at their being mentioned. Can we expect others to pursue God’s holiness, when people are upset- from being questioned? For we live under God’s grace and not His Law; His righteous wrath will be eventually revealed. Acceptance of His gift of Salvation can insure… that our lives will have been redeemed and sealed! . . .

Poem: Pursuit of Holiness
The moon does seem to mirror my regret, with light that fails to brighten skies to day, it cannot blot those stars, so far away; those jewels I could not reach and can't forget. And as the weak one in heaven's duet; that pale comparison, shining so grey, without the strength to forge its own display, those beams reflect resentment for my debt. But should we ask the sun of jealousies or failures through the years, when one's self-tasked; I think we'll find regrets are not so rare, when dreams to paint your face upon black seas or glow with lovers on the nights they basked are shattered by your own confounding glare.

Sonnet for Regret
Fire fire in the sky burned so bright burned so high how was I to know it was the end of time. Meteor predicted on its way flashed incandescent as it made its way, shattering into a million fragments atmosphere burning fires starting nuclear winter envious of its power. A lone figure on a hill never knew such loneliness as this, took your hand and one last kiss. The meteor bright brought the end of time rendering all of our fears, petty jealousies brutalities and stress our issues our loves irrelevant. If I had known this before freedom wouldn't have been that painted ******* ***** seductively calling to me for more - but could have been a moment before that meteor made its call. The fires have melted the stars have been renewed the planet continues its spinning around the sun the deepest ocean fishes continue evolution's marching orders while a cell phone alarm flips on and the icon shows "no signal" while beneath the rubble a malfunctioning relay finally finds that call made hours ago and the phone rings and rings beneath the ashen snow until the last silence no one is home. Mother Earth finally restored to its silence once again.

No More Water/The Fire Next Time
While most people are familiar with the principle of ‘sowing and reaping’, it can be difficult to distinguish between Fact and Fiction; gleaning the Truth sometimes takes time, so that the authentic and the fake can… be properly separated. Sad jealousies are found when the evil works of Man bloom against the stark contrast of God’s reality; seeing the good and bad, subtly reinforces our understanding of the wheat and tares; let us be glad, in knowing how God divinely operates; in Him, we can move and have our being when our Faith is extended on behalf of His Kingdom; when we are agreeing with His Word, it’s easier to love and care for others regularly, as we must; will people observe us as His Children, if we’re not placing in God… our trust?

Poem: Wheat and Tares
Are you a cat or bird, devil or saint? Villain and victim, dichotic romantic, bruised and beaten, ostracised. Bruised and beaten, demonised. A willow bending against cruel fashion's wind. A thousand storms of impotent hate, jealousies and malignant complaints. Rain like sonnets before the deaf! As your gifts are pearl before swine. And yet thy brow is regal still. The profile of a demon prince - no matter what shape taketh the face. Be thou Quasimodo or Adonis by fate. Whose smile has lit a thousand candles in thankless, bitter hearts, and fires in the hearths of freaks who need but a spark to break the leash. Or art thou Prince of Cats? Yearning for the freedom to roam, to hunt. Seeking pleasure, his mistresses pats. The enemy of closed doors and cold paws. Or could thou be a bird? Clipped wings, a gilded cage, whose song can only go so far. If not let to glide into the night, to rise, to greet the dawn with bleary, satisfied eyes. Of one who has been given the chance to soar! Or else to wilt, and yowl no more.

The Troubadour
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours, or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame, and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won’t matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end. It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought but what you built; not what you got but what you gave. What will matter is not your success but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage, or sacrifice that enriched, empowered, or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone. What will matter is not your memories but the memories of those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom, and for what. Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.

Blessed by Thee, the gift of creation. Cursed by needs of individualism. Blessed by Thee, eternal unification. Cursed by greed, social consumerism. Blessed by Thee, light the gift of vision. Cursed by breed, melanin racism Blessed by Thee, a drop of infinity Cursed by genes, fates indecision. Blessed by Thee, the heart of a musician. Cursed by jealousies rotting prison. Blessed by Thee, Will of The Magician. Cursed by bodies physical division. Blessed by Thee, Love and compassion Cursed by creed, systematic division.

The Fall of Man
Now I understand. Both the insecurities of myself and the natural jealousies; not of potential love affairs, but of friendships and spoken whispers that are not for my longing ears to hear. happiness, for harmony... but pain, perhaps a nosy desire to know the happenings and every little secret... is it a vice or a inevitable wish? For a best friend and lover to welcome me into their world as well? This is the pain that will be harbored but never revealed it is my own infliction to carry and whispered to self Every night Neverending.

Resident Evil Always Lurking Transcend the world of darkness, beyond where human senses can go perceive the existence of this reality, you would otherwise never know waiting for you is your destiny, preordained, you alone have this control preparations for the future, by casting off the body, elevating the soul Transcend all physical boundaries, limitations are a figment of the mind close your eyes and you'll see, following others is what keeps you blind achievements are within your abilities, only others try and hold you back hoping for you to stumble, harboring hidden jealousies, waiting to attack Transcend the pettiness of an egotistical world, where the center of all is Me until your life changes, until you become a giver, the truth you will never see a world without is connected to our world within, bound by words and actions another paradox of human existence, finding unity among conflicting factions Transcend the selfishness of your surroundings, none of us are really fully immune witnessing people with two faces, feigning kindness, wanting us to play their tune surviving instability of an ever changing world, seek comfort in things of purpose find consolation in this truth, the world is not what it appears to be on the surface Transcend the resident evil clouding your thinking, and you'll free yourself to finally live escaping from those pitfalls of hatred and bigotry, realizing the ultimate good is to give now having come full circle in your life, you will understand the jewel you have found spreading goodness to others, with an endless light of happiness, will you be crowned

I sit here quietly enraged same like the calm front that has hit on the western range of my property. I am a story teller who has no stories and a ear filled with melody for the summer rains. The greens will need trimming and sculpting soon. The pigeons will arrive to the corners of the property to breed and propagate the flock. Sometimes it's full of **** and sometimes it's not. Mostly after the squall procedes over from the lake is the promanant time of the winter cleaning over that portion of the foothills. Now here where I live, in the adequate and humble living quarters of mine, there is voices that travel on wind breezes that wander through my jealousies. They bring the news like airmail every so often. But mostly news of bills collectors spinning in their office chairs furiously at the amount of **** that is nessecary for this part time profession. Sometimes during the night my eyes go bad and I often wonder when they will get suitable for work again. I've been slacking a bit on the work and more on the suitability of my mind for processes like building a fireplace. You know, the theory of it all. Hmmm....

and punch the wall. I cry out her name sobbing... she's gone slamming the door. she storms out my face stings SLAP. Hurt expression...rage recriminations wounded hearts. Angry words, petty jealousies my insecurities her indignation... Confrontation, accusation. Where have you been? She comes home.

Played Backward
*My wild ambition loves to slide - ye all must understand But fortune's ice prefers only the most virtuous of hand. In Malaga I grew weary and wanton to possess The most colorless canvas, one easy with a lazy happiness, Disdained by golden fruit to the viewer be As I passed the crowd to gently shake the tree. Now manifest in paint, inward contrived and long since I stood in bold defiance with the heart of a prince, Held up on the square by one wanting to buy my latest cause. Against the wind I held it up in spite of all the laws. Do they wish to thicken my lot among all their other mistakes? What circumstances find you this? -This is what my mind makes! The buzzing of my emissaries fill my ears With many solitary jealousies and fears, Arbitrary thoughts brought forward into the light, Contemplating existence, must it prove my vision right? Weak are the arguments! Which the true artist knows full well, Where weak minded people curse my renderings or are easy to rebel. For am I not governed by the moon and by the far off stars? Tread lightly on me and don’t put me behind your own bars. And once in a shard of time let the Annunaki’s scribe record, That my vision once rendered could somehow affect their lord. The unrecognized Enki still wants to be a chief, yet none He created was found as fit as barren Adam. Not that he wished his greatness to create, For leaders should wish not to be called great. But he like I know our titles are not to be allowed. For titles are useless and only dependent upon a crowd, Those are kingly powers, thus ebbing us out, they might be Drawn by the dregs of a falsely acclaimed democracy. But in my paint I attempt, with studied arts to ease, And shed the unholy venom with visions such as these. On the other side of the canvas, not much escapes my eye – But once in front of it – nothing escapes the me that I call I.*

Adoringly applauding Arrogant acrobatic aristocratic, Bourgeois bad-boys. Braving boredom and bills, Caught controlling criminal Circles like a circus. Daring to do, and to deceive Desperate damsels in distress, Each accepting enemies. Everyone explaining elements From the final fights Frought with frustration. Getting groovy- grown old Garnering glittering gold. Holidaying in Getafé, Holding onto hands of harlots, Implying impotence and insolence, Ignorant in their ilk. Jovially joking, Jesting about juvenile jealousies; "I kissed Katie Kurtis" Knowingly comments one kid. Left to love and lose, Like Caesar and his laurels, Making music and malice, Manifesting manic malpractices. Natalie narrates, "Not now, not ever". Obvious obstacles avoided, Objectifying objects that are obsolete. Praying, pondering over pros, False prophets photographed as they pose. Qualifying quangos, Quantitative quelling of queries, Raising riots and runctions, Realising regal and royal remedies, Celebrating summer solstice, Solitude is bliss. Try tampering telephones To transcribe threat of treason, Unreal unilateral promises Unwound by underlying urchins. Vowing to voice very real values, Vox pop video views. Wearing water coloured wellingtons, Wondering over wax cuneiform works. Xylophone playing exemplary, Xavier exists in the imaginary. Yearly yearning for you, You're yoked as Gonne with Yeats (unequally) Zeroing in on Ritz and Rubble, Rubble the Zealots want to reign.

Alphabet Soup
Uncaring minutes are but passersby disregarding my wails. They hear me; they offer no help. Though, with only sixty seconds to exist, why would they stop for me? The hours pound against my skull with intent to smash their way in. Such constant clangor resonates through my consciousness disturbs my ego, dislodges regrets, the agitation seems to sieve out tiny jealousies from among other thoughts. The Days... Oh those ********* Days. They see me confused and seize their chance; they pull out my feet right from under my frame, and helpless, hurt, I collapse to the earth. And here time really sets in. The Months form gangs called 'Years' and The Years take their turn breaking my joints, my fingers, my knees, all my snappable, crackable points. Curved, crippled,  and creaking,   I languish in fantasies of what's supposed to be, oh, and the 'might-have-beens'. Time makes things worse. A dark shadow moves over me. I look up  as far as a heavy, beaten head will allow only to see the massive, soul-crushing weight of the decades seating their backside; oppressively, down to rest upon my twig-like spine. Snap And throughout the abuse, I crawl, cringe, cower as safe as can be in a low lying state on the ground, (which is still six feet too high for all that time cares!) I hear from somewhere afar an unfaltering decree from my maker to me "Stand up straight! For Heaven's sake!"

I Don't Believe Time Cares For Me
My Specter around me night and day Like a wild beast guards my way; My Emanation far within Weeps incessantly for my sin. A fathomless and boundless deep, There we wander, there we weep; On the hungry craving wind My Specter follows thee behind. He scents thy footsteps in the snow Wheresoever thou dost go, Through the wintry hail and rain. When wilt thou return again? Dost thou not in pride and scorn Fill with tempests all my morn, And with jealousies and fears Fill my pleasant nights with tears? Seven of my sweet loves thy knife Has bereaved of their life. Their marble tombs I built with tears, And with cold and shuddering fears. Seven more loves weep night and day Round the tombs where my loves lay, And seven more loves attend each night Around my couch with torches bright. And seven more loves in my bed Crown with wine my mournful head, Pitying and forgiving all Thy transgressions great and small. When wilt thou return and view My loves, and them to life renew? When wilt thou return and live? When wilt thou pity as I forgive?' Over my sins thou sit and moan: Hast thou no sins of thy own? Over my sins thou sit and weep, And lull thy own sins fast asleep. What transgressions I commit Are for thy transgressions fit. They thy harlots, thou their slave; And my bed becomes their grave. Never, never, I return: Still for victory I burn. Living, thee alone I'll have; And when dead I'll be thy grave. Through the Heaven and Earth and Hell Thou shalt never, quell: I will fly and thou pursue: Night and morn the flight renew.' Poor, pale, pitiable for That I follow in a storm; Iron tears and groans of lead Bind around my aching head. Till I turn from Female love And root up the Infernal Grove, I shall never worthy be To step into Eternity. And, to end thy cruel mocks, Annihilate thee on the rocks, And another form create To be subservient to my fate. Let us agree to give up love, And root up the Infernal Grove; Then shall we return and see The worlds of happy Eternity. And throughout all Eternity I forgive you, you forgive me. As our dear Redeemer said: "This is the Wine, and this the Bread."'
