"jeers" poems
Since you've been away I've trailed the wake of the clouds Just crumbling clay... That lay in the shade that enshrouds Depending on the ifs and mays.    Wake up, my love... Since you haven't been here The sky did nothing but only sang Ambient translations of mocks and jeers As the green blades of earth bared their fangs Mischievous songs that I've held dear.      Wake up, my love... Since you've been gone I've realised that I'm not moving And you too, haven't moved since last dawn A reality all too disheartening Bits of me all cut up and sawn.          Wake up my love... Since you've been missing I am never whole, and never will A lifetime of endless chasing Bottomless jar without a seal Void clustered emptiness in need of filling.             Wake up, my love... Since you've been absent I could only hope for this lungful To lead me to subsequent Ones that taste like bitter pills encapsuled. Mind full of drugs running rampant.                Wake up, my love... Since you wouldn't have known What these days are like... Time induced tumours have grown The hours impale with temporal spikes... Inseminating malignant thoughts soon to be sown.                   Wake up, my love... Since you've been away I'm a player hoping for a fair game Nonetheless still crumbling clay... That lay in the dark just the same Choking on the what ifs and what mays.

Wake Up, My Love
He came to Jerusalem mounted on a donkey People went out to meet him, Waving the palm branches they bring And hailed him as their king. Yet, people don’t know the sorrow The coming week would bring Soon, Glad acclaimed will give away, To jeers and mockery. In God’s redemption plan, He’d be condemn to a cross on cavalry But he knew that he was a sacrificial lamb To die for the sins of man in misery. Today is the day when Jesus will passed Give praise to son of God, Shout the benediction of his name From the sky and to the sod; Hosanna to the Highest!

Palm Sunday
(10/13/12) At the beginning of “64” - I packed up my uniform And walked out the door- it was the beginning of The Vietnam war. By August of that same year President Johnson started the draft Under protests and jeers. Then he made it a full scale war And sent our soldiers to Vietnam shores. The Beatniks in Greenwich village With their long hair, beards, and Flip flop sandals - wrote their poetry About this undeclared war, and why Our men were going to those shores. This created a new generation called ‘HIPPIES” The hippie generation was groups of protesters Against everything that they found wrong The draft , the war , pollution And loved to stay high with *** hashish Coke and acid (lsd) which kept them blasted. This also created the “ flower children” Who like the hippies loved to be high And on certain flowers they would fly. But they spoke of loving one another And gave out flowers as a sign of peace Which to the president was a relief. They all started painting this “53 Chevy impala” With the words “ flower power”. Now the “ flower children and hippie movement Was in full swing, and everyone was doing their own thing. They had Greenwich village under their control And not one coffee shop would ever be sold. Every coffee shop had a poetry night And going there was such a delight. Then in AUGUST of “69” The WOODSTOCK festival was on the rise Over half a million people drove to that farmland And set up tents , hammocks, sleeping bags and such And the police found it was much to much So they had no choice but to see it through Because there was nothing else that they could do. The WOODSTOCK festival had become world wide And to this day it still thrives. © L . RAMS

We laughed as we watched, We smiled as we played. Then suddenly came a Romeo to surprise my day. He asked to play, I nodded to agree. Little did I know, They set it up for me. I spoke of numbers, He moved the options, I chose one paper, there popped the question. Go with me? He had written, I sat staring, not saying a word. Actually shocked and yet a bit smitten. Jeers surfaced, wolf whistles released. My cheeks' red however, somehow increased. My heart was pounding, was this really true? I guess so, since I said yes to you.

Prom-posal
It's a dance It really is Skip and prance Lifelong practice Loop of songs Never ending Of various genres Life is playing There's the spotlight World is awaiting Pressure of eyes Silently watching Take your place Assume your position Execute with finesse And flawless precision Spin your pirouettes Don't get dizzy Maintain your poise In this revelry Along comes a partner Present as a duo The game now altered From when you were solo Two bodies now Move in unison Reciprocate and reply Through steps made in heaven Flighty feet Intertwined bodies limbre Sweet little performance Elapsing into forever With grace of ballet Each other you'd catch Intimate display Think you've found your match There'll come such time Both will not be in sync Episodes of missteps Push you to the brink Alone again Or switch of partners Find solace in groups Still dancing for answers Dancing with others Much you can learn From hip hop to the waltz Together or in turn Try to adapt To different styles Soak up all you can May take a while I've danced all my life Can't say that I've mastered Fair share of jeers And accolades I've garnered Always clumsy Exceedingly awkward Tripping and falling Barely proceeding forward It's just this dance One with syncopated beats It's just this prance That my gait can't meet It's just this stance I often use as retreat I realised in a glance That I have...but two left feet

Two Left Feet
Horrid and morbid, bitter, glittered and littered memories! Automotives, adaptive captives, movies, motives, Natives, locomotives, obsessive and possessive. Some awesome, brilliant, different, ignorant, persistent and resilient. ****** and exotic! Some memories are eccentric, fantastic, futuristic, magic, logistic, optimistic, plastic, realistic, tragic or sadistic. Some random sizes with hidden prizes! Blameful, gainful, lameful and painful. Dreary destinies, diaries, inquires, weary rivalries, stories and theories in memory. In theory, memories made from cheers and fears, jeers and tears! Of amends, amens, omens, gems, hymns and stems. Memories abbreviated and dedicated, deviated and medicated! Memories cased, edited and erased. Evangelically, eventually everyone inherits! They’re like tiny merits! They spike the psych. They strike and are unlike. Memories of bites, defects, dislikes, effects, fights, flights, insects, logics, neglects, objects, plight, projects, protests, recollects, reflects rejects, respects and suspects. Memories of fate and hate! Some are not great. Memories of schemes, screams or themes of dreams that seem. Memories of small, memories of tall! Memories in despise, memories of lies. Memories of wise; beyond the skies, as I close my eyes…

POEM ENTITLED: “MEMORIES”
We're all human here, right? Why, then, is my side, most human, Something bidden I hide? --- Mockings chant their mocking things, Swinging from the hinges of reality. While, sneers and jeers born from, Overgrown fears, Leave small ****** in my ripe heart - Unceasingly. At the door, my mind assured me, go, And my feet, those dumb things, did listen. Went right into havoc, Wreaked solely by tragic, Souls, so pathetic, I can't even stand it. Who's ripping up my soul so darkly, Save, me and the audience I've made? Surely, the swift-sounding people, With valiant battles to battle - Are too busy to waste time at the gallows. You dug the hole, And jumped right on in, I merely picked up the shovel, And finished it. Though, now, my heart aches, So red and opaque, Curse you, For doing you in. 07.2011

Secrets Don't Make Friends
The Monster With Blue Hair Jeers as I cower in the corner But she’s coming He’s won I’m done The Other will be happy They’ll be fine and dandy But she’s coming And she has her Blue Shield And a Sword forged for intense war War on a Blue Field The Monster With Blue Hair Will die Someday Like His wicked brother of Red She’s here now He’s fled She saved me Now it’s time for bed

War of the Blue
Tonight I flicker dimmer than most I'm alone with everyone here Stabbing their plates and proposing their toasts Tonight I feel my wings but they're in cuffs I'm alone with everyone here Speaking their words, laughing their laughs Tonight I bear the arrows of discreet little leers I'm alone with everyone here Silently goading me with their mocks and jeers Tonight I hear whispers muttered inaudible I'm alone with everyone here Inconspicuous fingers pointed under tables Tonight I write but my ink weighs heavy I'm alone with everyone here They pile on my thoughts, usurping the calm... Inciting a mind full of anarchy

(Un)Alone
Oh werewolf with woollen wings, Whimpering in the willows. Thou vile voice a vice grip Stuffed inside her pillows. Yours is a violent cry for help One should never have to hear. So dare come near, just know it clear. Your fleer; my leer. For tears, jeers and Featherweight fears will never break weirs that Forever fill wells deeper than the darkest hole You gouged in the lightest soul. Your sword; her shield. My words; wounds healed. I’m ever bending moonlight to set it right. Go haunt yourself through a never ending night! A single silver bullet shimmers in her sunlight. The same one you shot upright. Falling fast into the broken bed you made. Now let it embed deep in your head. Well played.

The Wolf Who Cried Boy
This was written a few Septembers ago.  Walking on the streets of a now deserted beach island, only the leaves, in various states, to keep me company. September, walk with me, under bridges of wedding tree canopies, still green aplenty, tho subtle marked for change, making summer illusions, environmentally unsustainable. September, stroll on pathways of lesser, off the track, shaded lanes, the sun blocker trees wear new necklaces, brown and yellow diamonds, a coming attraction of their denouement, their denudement. The September trees are: Ever so slightly stooped, bent with weight of a surety, knowing with high certainty, their future, bleak, bowed and drooped, discouraged by the cold travails soon to arrive. Living in the recent past, I am dressed inappropriately, white tee and shorts, past pretender, still dressed in my Gap issue summer uniform, summer suspended animation. Island streets are de-humanized, gone home are the children, newly fallen leaves have, their place, taken. The leaves are: magically organized along the sidelines of empty streets, quiet stadiums of would be kid's touch football fields.   browned, crisp and soulless, first greet this solitary stroller, like a cheering throng of ghosts, celebrating a sighting - man, as a seasonal fossil, one that still is living and worth reminding, yet human too shall pass when his fall arrives. the leave's cheers make over into jeers and mocking laughs: Oh humans, they say, your summer songs naive, mais tres charmant. On Crescent Beach, the driftwood sadly forlorn, looking more adrift than ever, for no one passes to express admiration at the past seasons Nouveau Expressionism, an objet d'art lonely, for the beach gallery shuttered,   raising questions existential. Is driftwood on the beach sans human admiration, art, truth or refuse? I am looking backwards as the Earth moves forward. My own axis, my eyes, conscientious objectors refuse to be pressed into service of the seasons. No, no, to involuntary servitude, to rotation and revolution. Nature's witnesses, trees and leaves write their own poem, of foolish men who: Bow and droop, discouraged by the travails soon to arrive, Delaying their own fall, finally shed summer delusions like leaves upon the ground, summer poetry silenced, summer suspended, no more.

*And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone It doesn't matter whether I lose but I have to win So I fight with love and courage in my bone I fight for brothers and sisters gone Getting filth of guilt on my soul hitherto clean And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone I ensure my foes regret why they were born Slaying them with neither Calvary nor shoulder on which to lean So I fight with love and courage in my bone Its for my people's safety and for my own I don't want to see them chained in slavery where I've been And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone I want them to cross to safety and not drown in jeers and scorn To blind their sight to the injustice and despair I've seen So I fight with love and courage in my bone I wont dare let my family groan and moan I can't forgive myself if they are trapped between And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone So I fight with love and courage in my bone*

I FIGHT MY BATTLES
are feelings of love felt alone, feelings of love at all? or selfish yelps for attention borne of boredom & a sense we only hold on our own of childish - - - - idleness. singularity less; more independence from a whole the only company he keeps is furniture together with the furniture of the house he sits, with seven seats left empty, the curtains tales appear to grin without validation from another he feels like a child standing the school's final bells rung the bustle of the day has droned now dissipated the bustle of the day irritated when it droned, he longed for home for the bus as he waits for the bus the quiet surrounds hold tight but hold cold like a fridge door keeps, it clutches, encloses the school yard empty he stands; singular; out of place in the surrounds the school bleeds terror when empty The laughs & shouts & jeers & footsteps keep the wholesomeness whole empty of shouts a graveyard now the ghosts of the day linger & they finger your buttons they push your tenderness they kneed out they **** (with their cold digits they **** just like the furniture does. just like the furniture in the house laughs when uninhabited it silently jeers 'Why so many seats mate?' it pokes with its linen digit; fuzzy but cold as it continues 'you're alone waiting for someone to come by and pick u up & take u back to home

in the presence of the furniture
My heart is malfunctioning and sends blood to my pupils. Now my heart lacks oxygen and all I see is pain. And through these blood shot eyes I can’t see a thing. If I ever love again, I won’t ever love the same. Have you ever seen oxygen filled, blood red tears? Have you ever felt pain run down your cheeks? I cry blood; I cry pain, through all life’s jeers. Not because I care and not because I’m weak. I cry blood tears because the hurt is beyond control. This pain exceeds pain and surpasses hurt. No I’m not sad, I don’t need to be consoled. I’m beyond, far far beyond the worst. Cry cry cry; untill I have no tears left. Hurt hurt hurt; until I feel no pain. The water dries, and blood sweats. I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain. Heart break, my heart has no ache. Heart broken, my heart has not been broken. Heart destroyed, no heart left to shake. It cannot be repaired, no longer is it open. As blood tears continue to leak. I lose all life, all feelings, and all patience. They see me, but they do not seek. I’m dead, and that’s an understatement.

Some starlit garden grey with dew, Some chamber flushed with wine and fire, What matters where, so I and you Are worthy our desire? Behind, a past that scolds and jeers For ungirt ***** and lamps unlit; In front, the unmanageable years, The trap upon the Pit; Think on the shame of dreams for deeds, The scandal of unnatural strife, The slur upon immortal needs, The treason done to life: Arise! no more a living lie, And with me quicken and control Some memory that shall magnify The universal Soul.

Some Starlit Garden Grey With Dew
“The Maiden” Over her long legs, Hips sway in a salacious manner, As she strolls, Past the gaggle of gentlemen, Mustering the valor to face, Their glances varying from curiosity, To disgust, Perhaps intrigue as these men, Behold this exotic form of femininity. An aura of mystery emanates, From a tenderly warm demeanor, Welcoming the viewers, Who encounter this daughter of Aphrodite, Capturing attention regardless of, One’s alleged reasoning. Intrepid knights receive the blessing, To witness the hazel windows, Into a maiden’s soul, Deeply adorned with unbidden intensity, Bestowing a small glimpse, Into a beguiling beauty, Mistaken as a cozening siren, To an untrained eye. Many chaps desire her, Until revelations bereave these fellows, Of security interwoven into the fabric, Of society sewn with fine threads, Uniting into an existence of conformity. Some licentious men lunge, At the maiden, Gaping at what these fellows, Observe as a tantalizing goddess, Desiring to place lascivious hands, Upon her soft skin. Misguided stories allow life to be given, To glaring spectators, Spewing jeers of rancor, Bemused as the unknown, Deftly saunters near, The valley of Oblivion. Like the majestic Mona Lisa, The maiden consists of subtle nuances, Painting her tributes behind cryptic techniques, Allowing one to inspect her façade, Learning her similarities to the wind, Feeling her spirit, Rather than glancing upon visual proof. The souls encountering the maiden, Gain respite from strangling thoughts, Placated by her light, Revealing the contrasts, The highlights to expose, An extraordinary beauty, Manifesting from genuine kindness, Breaths of generosity, And irrevocable love of all shades and tints, Within a painter’s palate.

Heavy with dew the branches converge And when it is night these creatures emerge With diligence they saunter through crevices of flesh And feed upon bewilderment wherever it’s left While the moon jeers at the sun for attempting to hide Hymns of laughter and silhouettes of creatures collide They flourish the sky with a euphoric light And cast a spell amongst the silence of night The creatures thrash against skin to announce their goodbyes But what shall we call them? We shall call them fireflies

I have grown tired, After only a short twenty years, Of being something for your eyes. Tired of slurred compliments, Uttered from behind glazed eyes, And catching eyes flick up from where they had been stuck- Wow! This person has ******* Sick of hearing calls and jeers, shouted from across the street, from inside of a car, from the base of an over-sexualised, and over-sexualising brain. And so in an attempt to remove myself from such ******** I have been de-sexualising myself. I wear long, ill-fitting trousers, Baggy tops, and thick Doc Martens. I pull up hair up, Put my glasses on, I do not bother with make-up. I glare and I scowl. Yet still unwanted attention Has been able to find me. Still you grab and grasp at me, As if I were but a toy at your disposal. I turned to one, and looking in his eyes, I clearly said "No.". A dog, a child, a human, Would have understood me; Yet he did not. I turned again when his hands didn't stop. **** off, I said No." "Slap me, baby, I'm sorry!" He leered, not sorry in the least. "I'm not going to hit you. I'm saying no, and you're going to respect that." He left for a moment, Only to return as handsy as before. I tell you honestly, I have no idea What more I'd need to do To get some people to see me Not as a real-life *** toy, But as a ******* human being.

De-Sexualise
"Funny poems aren't taken seriously", the figure splashes verbal acid over the crumpled piece of paper I handed them. Refusing to laugh Curling their lip. The paper quickly, without a thought, thrusted back into my hands. They leave behind my thought which fills the space between myself, fidgeting alone and them, striding away. *Does it have to be serious to be taken seriously?* A mental court gathers itself around me Myself, a defense attorney Pointing a stained finger at the figure on the stand. I present the shoe-eating Peruvian and his limerick friends. Generations of drinking songs often crass, but lasting. There is laughter from the jury There is hope for the poems. Then my final evidence the crumpled paper I read it aloud silence. Is split by the dull chuckle of the figure elbows in suit jacket pressed against the stand. "Sure, there's examples from the past, but you? the troubled kid? the depressed one? the pariah?" I glance at more files, appearing, my name on each. analysis, evaluation, diagnosis, test. Laughter, the type that jeers, grows into a crescendo. I huddle, hands over ears, creasing my suit but the muted version is worse. I stagger to my feet. The court has morphed cruelly into an arena of sorts. Brutal, simple, life-ending decisions are made here. My jacket is gone My cheek openly bleeds My sleeves have ripped revealing the scars below. I hurl out, from deep within me "It's because I'm ****** up that I need to write it! Don't you understand? Making people laugh keeps and edge off the old habits keeps the thoughts where they belong!" My voice is hoarse. The arena tightens. Even as I say it, I'm overwhelmed by the thoughts That I do not belong. That a funny poem punctuated by my fingers despite their past harm delivered from my mouth despite its harsh denouncements and shared by my whole self despite my self-banishment is not enough. I sink to the ground, stripped of my senses. My poems have turned course once helping ease pain, now proliferating it. My fingernails pierce the palm of my hand through the crumpled paper and two drops of blood strike the tiles. I meant for this to be a funny poem But I guess it's about why some people need to write them.

They leave behind my thought which fills the space between myself, fidgeting alone and them, striding away. *Does it have to be serious to be taken seriously?* A mental court gathers itself around me Myself, a defense attorney Pointing a stained finger at the figure on the stand. I present the shoe-eating Peruvian and his limerick friends. Generations of drinking songs often crass, but lasting. There is laughter from the jury There is hope for the poems. Then my final evidence the crumpled paper I read it aloud silence. Is split by the dull chuckle of the figure elbows in suit jacket pressed against the stand. "Sure, there's examples from the past, but you? the troubled kid? the depressed one? the pariah?" I glance at more files, appearing, my name on each. analysis, evaluation, diagnosis, test. Laughter, the type that jeers, grows into a crescendo. I huddle, hands over ears, creasing my suit but the muted version is worse. I stagger to my feet. The court has morphed cruelly into an arena of sorts. Brutal, simple, life-ending decisions are made here. My jacket is gone My cheek openly bleeds My sleeves have ripped revealing the scars below. I hurl out, from deep within me "It's because I'm ****** up that I need to write it! Don't you understand? Making people laugh keeps and edge off the old habits keeps the thoughts where they belong!" My voice is hoarse. The arena tightens. Even as I say it, I'm overwhelmed by the thoughts That I do not belong. That a funny poem punctuated by my fingers despite their past harm delivered from my mouth despite its harsh denouncements and shared by my whole self despite my self-banishment is not enough. I sink to the ground, stripped of my senses. My poems have turned course once helping ease pain, now proliferating it. My fingernails pierce the palm of my hand through the crumpled paper and two drops of blood strike the tiles. I meant for this to be a funny poem But I guess it's about why some people need to write them.

*When you've grown up being called a stranger wherever you go, you learn to make home of whatever ground of little discomfort you find, you play deaf to insults and jeers you hide your tears and promise yourself that someday you'll find a home for you and teach yourself to believe that lie because the reality of truth's too bitter for you to take it anymore...*

Dear God we need to leave this town, friends! Please don't let me abandon you all here shivering in underemployment The West is calling with a Daniel "BOOM," the South whispers in a mountain mama window pat Other countries laugh at us, but will we join their jeers, show them we are not just circus bears? Multi-national parasites, we're too trivially divided to terminate O God, how my leisure hours went, so much faster than the work room's ones without any vent I complained and complained to my friends and fam on the phone, but the time just spiraled stagnant like a slow spirit taking six thousand years to explore a too small habitat I haven't got nearly so long.

Every Night Get the Spark, the Feeling of
Astonishingly! This poetry analogy is partially of a prodigy poet! It is of his endearment and endeavorment in our great Government that desecrated, medicated, sedated and segregated him. Doped! Desperately copping and hoping he made it! To add, no dad! An artistically rad-lad through the bad, the glad, the sad and mad. This destiny of a poet is also of apologies, felonies, formalities, legalities and theories. Furthermore it’s of mournful and scornful-laughter! Capture and rapture, dreamingly and seemingly, chapter after chapter... Pondering and wondering is there a happily ever after? This destiny of a poet is heavenly,  randomly and religiously, tellingly of lots of many thoughts! Some adventuresome, awesome, burdensome, fearsome and gruesome! Some loathsome, lonesome and wholesome! Some of dreams, schemes and many themes! Some deemed and seemed differently, discriminately, indecently or racially true, from some views. Some askew and blue! Some of clues, of Jews, of taboo, tattoos and voodoo! This destiny of a poet; stunningly who could’ve and would’ve thought once, twice or thrice of this price? Of the cheers and peers, the jeers, the leers, the tears and weary years... Therefore I say, some artist’s clever art may create, dictate, relate and translate similar-thriller craftsmanship with negative, positive or relative penmanship. However, typically some probably will publicly criticize as a travesty. Some will harmonize, some will publicize or socialize, some will disrespect as imperfect, some will neglect, some will respect as perfect! Hark! I remark; brethren, children and women keep and upkeep that creative spark! For in the dark or as you embark. Literally, morality and reality is in my poetry and story. Expect excellent, brilliant, decadent, resilient talent and testaments! Basically on final note! I positively devote, quote and wrote these eccentrically optimistic, rhetoric and theoretic poetically lyrical rhyming notes. Finally and bluntly, do not negatively amend, bend, pretend or transcend this end. Amen...

POEM ENTITLED: “DESTINY OF A POET”

A rapid beating heart that stands next to you always, I find myself atop this life intertwined between these melodic days. Fight and quarrel about is the normality of human nature, for it's those that can heal the wounds through love and pure conversation who should sign the everlasting legislature. Love is a fickle sport of chance it seems, cheers and jeers from the moonlit love we all yearn for in our dreams. I'm emotionally tearing at the seams as I am done with these schemes, no more joining of the socially pressured regimes. Your love is all I need and all that is true, I want to live every moment with you again and again as an everlasting deja vu.
