• * I. Ohh, longsuffering, This love cure all the aches, Replaced with surety. II. Yearning and longing, Are heightened each precious days, Thirsty for your lips. III. I hunger for you, Your warmth and touch I dreamed of, You, so close to me. IV. Angelic visage, Played in my heart, mind and soul, Each single moment. V. Vision of future, Lock fingers with you my love, Conquering the evil. VI. Together with God, Praying, praising Him always, This love to exist. VII. These tears there'll be none, Our love covers it with joy, Pure and bona fide. VIII. Oh thank God above, For heaven inside our hearts, Keeping us stronger. IX. No storm can vanquish, No trials can separate, Invincible love. X. Jointly, me and you, Bonded for everlasting, Brandon & Earl Jane. * with love <3 <3 © Earl Jane ♥ E.J.C.S.

Wake Up My Darling (Haiku x10)
It is impossible to compass life without suffering harm from loved ones. Wrongs that take the ground from under the feet. Wrongs that hurt heart through and through. Wrongs that make us distraught victim. Does forgiveness immunize us for further injustices? Does forgiveness soothe suffering? One thing is certain, everyone has been hurt in life and everyone once inflicted wound: betrayal, selfishness, criticism, unjust judgment, bad word, emotional abuse, unfair reward. Love that bears all things, and endures all things shows the principle of overcoming evil with good. We live in times where love is seen as pleasure. When there is lack of fulfillment the connection ends instead of support in moments of weakness, jointly bearing burden, willingness to give up the ego. In relations underflow of virtues is worthless. Every love at some point hurts. The more we love the greater the suffering. Remember, that you are also sometimes hard to bear. One of the most important lessons in life is non acceptance of evil. Always we are entitled to protest and defense. There is a difference between sagacious enduring of injustice and permition for hard time and  humilitation. Defense against evil should be free from desire for revenge, hate, wrath, punishment and anger. Leave vengeance to God. The point is love. It is she who shows the right path. The cure for the human pain of injustice is forgiveness. Man needs time to forgive, therefore necessary at times of touch of hurt is compassion. Does forgiveness mean to forget? No, forgiveness is an act of will not of forgetting. Great injury can not be erased from memory. Forgiveness is duty that gives hope and strength for the future. Forgiveness is the transition from helplessness to peace of heart. Forgiveness is overcoming anger and grief towards acceptance of reality. Is forgiveness reconciliation? No, although it is a quantum leap in the direction of reconciliation. There is no way to force act of reconciliation. Forgiveness is one thing, and to be mature for reconciliation is another thing. Most important in forgiveness is not to rely on gesture of compensation. Some believe that only weak people forgive. Forgiveness requires tremendous effort and courage. It is easier to sail away in anger than creative dialogue which leads to remedy of the situation. Without forgiveness you can not win with guilt, abyss of past and human frailties. Forgiveness is above all priceless gift for yourself. Forgiveness frees you from inner poisons, and also opens up new lands. If we are able to injure, we are also able to say the sorry and make amends. Act of contrition allows for a true change of heart. Act of forgiveness is the bud of heart at peace.

He lives in a time of plague. The tag team of cholera and dedication killed his father, for all Dr. Juvenal Urbino knows, his father was faithful to both work and love. The good doctor knew from an early age that his work would be his love, and from a slightly less tender age he discovered that his love of flesh and the body ran deeper than mere science could take him. He met Fermina Daza in the doorway between clinical curiosity and obsession over her doe’s gait, and as he walked through his heart made room for a new kind of dedication. He thought his devotion would be equally as precise as his practice. Fifteen or so years of marriage, between years in Paris they bled together like a Van Gogh after a rainshower, the intricacies of their companionship were jointly held in a contractual cradle, but neither of them felt obligated. Dr. Urbino was before my time, but my story will know the life of Carlos Mucharraz, Pre-Med major, they both dedicate themselves to their love. I’ve never seen her, but I can imagine Carlos likens her gait to that of a doe. He fawns over her from 17 hours away, for nearly a year. Like a Texas dust devil, he sends his love through the air to Minneapolis to brighten her phone screen and her day. They’ve only ever spent time together twice. I’d like to think of his devotion like a boulder, immovable, but twisters slither across prairies as wicked winds push them towards seas of lust, but I’d like to think his love flew above turbulent skies. I thought Dr. Urbino as a rock. He must have thought of his fidelity as a disease. His father died fighting cholera, and Urbino would not let his affliction of faithfulness **** him. He thought himself ill, and the mantra of his practice taught him one thing only: cure. In a slum of San Juan de la Cienaga, pants around his ankles, holding a mulatto girl’s legs around his waist, he crumbled like stale bread as he plunged himself into infidelity. This man of granite broke and fragmented, his sin etched a crooked cobweb of fractures into his back, I wonder if the beads of sweat stung his spine, or dulled the pain. But maybe I should put my faith in dust devils. Humans may be able to shatter the hardest stone, but no one commands the sky, for it straddles North and South, East and West, Fort Worth and Minneapolis.

I'm not afraid to die of her smile because no poison no fuel, adulterated...... and no betray in her mind when she smiles deep and sweetly then I want to swim as much as I and, of her tears like ocean i wish I could swim, I can fly of her voice I love her specifically, since when we had been strangers for a day for a night of flowering season and we had smiled jointly by faced I recalls that moments by heart and silenty the beautiful moments returning with holding her shadows -- she was smiled, that pictures arrived again Like a baby of smallest ages I play and the pictures makes me happy as I feel like the climbing on the peak of mountain's I love her smile makeup, beautify herself and everything of her fashion and designing, and become natural beauty i love her like a fish loves water i love her like a bird loves sky

Two great minds On each other they land Each never knew the other But they fought each other The secret was kept Not to let unconscious conscious So there were two men One a poacher The other trader. Trader:my friend, make me a sword, My honey I give in return. Poacher:ok,let us meet tomorrow. (They part) The trader was a liar The poacher was a cheat The day came Each sent a boy to pick the items Trader:(sent soil,smeared by honey,) Received a wood carefully Chopped and a sword It looked. Caught amazed Just laughed at himself Pocher:(sent the "sword") Received the "honey" Caught amused Laugh at the haux ... Again, The poacher invite the trader They go poach The day was set And it came,off they set The bush rough, Grass wet, Poach on the lead! Poach:(seeing an angry beast,) My friend,the coarse has Turned rough,come lead this Shrubby path! Trader:is it ***** or thorny? Poach: ***** Trader:I lead we go back home,turn And follow me! They went back home The danger was evaded. The liar and the cheat were clever. The trader invited the poach Come for this honey we got to harvest And he came Trader:(climbs the tree,he realises that there was a big snake inside) My friend,the bees are fierce Come help me. Pocher:is it smooth or sticky? Trader:smooth my friend! Poacher: come we go,we have to set another day then The clever men went home save The liar lost,the cheat lost They were clever.

It is September and my personal fruit fly has returned From his long vacation, And is happily perched on the rim of my wine glass Polity hopping off whenever I reach for a sip, Quietly resuming his place when I set down my glass. I can hardly resent his microscopic intrusion Especially when I find that he and a partner have ended Their wandering keratinous lives And are now jointly denting the meniscus of my economy class Chardonnay.

Six Straight The old cowboys of  TV fame, Were straight shooters, Who carried six shooters, Sometimes two. When I grow up, I want be a  six straight cowboy too, Six straight hours of sleep, Or dem bad poems all dressed in black, they're a gonna shoot me, holy dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The youniverse is getting smaller The you-in-verse is getting smaller, My poems, shorter, Hemingwayesque, see! Why use two words, Whenonewilldo. Warmer, too, Somehow tho global heat Ain't reached my woman's Hands or feet. When you touch my GPS, It stands ready, at attention, Always opens up with a prayer, Directions to Home, Like I said, The you-in-verse is getting smaller. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lend Me a Tune Wish I knew how to Compose some love lyrics, But can't carry a tune, It seems that the music Must always comes first. So with conceit and disbelief, Wrote words and shot 'em into space, Hoping they'd pass thru galaxies, Maybe a comet tail, Find a Songster who will strum them Into perfect, into complete. I ain't unhappy that all I got Was the lesser gift of Humming words to myself, Ain't dissatisfied, but wish they Could be ratified, by the music Of a voice reading them to me Or fingers tapping, happening them Upon the ivories upon my chest, The chest that needs exploration. So let's make some music Finish these lyrics jointly, When all finito, pointedly Take our co-sing-song, Dance to it with our bodies Sing words the whole night long, And please baby, Don't tell me to shut up so you can sleep....

*for my friend, Betterdays, who has never written a poem that did not seek, reach, or teach, even when she thinks she knows not, the lesson plan below* wisdom arrives daily, Even after you need all ten fingers to count your decades and generations was it but last year that a single gull cawing, a solitary iris saluting the sundial, a moment of watching her, arms flung hither, encased in drowsy drops, a mother and her child strolling, she patrolling, and they, child world exploring, only continents discovering, a grandchild's freely given first kiss would prompt a write as if a shotgun shell had arrived not overnight, but instant implosion, in a chest that could not contain emotion, only seep, none to keep, skin to shed, and of course, tears of, what should I call them, tears of more than life, tears of essence, real tears come from invisibly indivisibly real places, wiping me clean and so I oathed, I swore, the Supreme Court and the Village Clerk jointly administered this vow, my hand upon my heart, where the words come from, *what ere you pro-prose, what ere delights, or havocs thy temperaments, if to be, duly noted, dispatched and possibly shared, let it be only thine best, to the higher standard, hold thyself close and closer still, be happy to admit failure, for that is excellence attained, and when you are satisfied, then we will be but not mere satisfied too, enthralled to you for in they words, you raise the sea level of this world's humanity, higher and higher* so, thank you and thank yourself this line drawn, only at or above it, the goods ones breathe... the oxygen of poetry

Lend me a tune *(For Robert C Howard, One of the lucky ones)* "But I'll know my song well before I start singing". Bob Dylan Some of us poets, some of us musicians, and a few, A very blessed few Songwriters and lyricists, Poets in sound and words, Both. Wish I knew how to Compose some love song music notes, But can't carry a tune, Seems to me, Comes first the music, Must music comes first So with conceit and disbelief, Wrote words and shot 'em into space, Hoping they'd pass thru galaxies, Maybe a comet tail, Find a Songster who will strum them Into perfect, into complete I ain't unhappy that all I got Was the lesser gift of Humming words to myself, Ain't dissatisfied, but wish they Could be ratified, by the music Of a voice singing them to me Or fingers tapping, happening them Played upon the ivories upon my chest, Where the lyrics are aborning, The chest that needs Music to be whole, and word-completing Wish I knew how to Compose some love notes But can't carry a tune, Seems to me Music, Must come first So let's make some music **** right, together, Finish these lyrics jointly, When all finito, pointedly Needed your music, my darling, Music to make them soar, Take our co-sing-song, Dance to it with our bodies Sing words the whole night long

11:00 PM July 7th 2011 Outside Delacorte Theater, Home of Shakespeare in the Park Central Park, New York ~~ What wretched wags we have become, sold rhyme and couplet into slavery and meter sacrificed, upon the altar of expediency. LOL and BRB, the hallmarks of our insincerity, forgetting that civility is resurrected when we employ the poetry of speech in our plain and simple communiques, most especially in the simple, please let beauty hold sway. Brutalize our tongues, thus our lives, compression of our language into single words that celebrate the mundane, as fashionable. yeah, yeah, yeah... Our speech, its fragrance lost, sublimates but does not sublime, one liners demean our humanity,   grunts of yeah and cool, are awesome not, our future hope is in the details of our expression, whereby we inject into our verbal demeanor a grace that sets human above the existence animal. So touch this screen and let us begin, to take our measure by our measure of the care we demonstrate when we communicate. These words have transversed from weekday to weekday, soon at morning prayers to the gods inside of me, David's hymns and poems I'll recite, a slow eloquence will infuse my hallelujah eyesight. Plain truths will be spoke, in rhyme with diction apace, transfuse my soul elevate us severally and jointly above the confused noises of the prison of nondescript lives, leaving me a believer that all's well that begins well.

SMELLING ADVENTURE.

Declarations of Delphi:
Alieness I am a lover not a fighter Sad that as we walk our ropes get tighter I am a hugger not a hater Sad that we hate instead of love one another I am a nurturer not a nagger Sad that we enjoy using words as daggers I am a peacemaker not a pot-stirer Sad that we lie and lose trust in one another I am a human not an alieness   Sad that we deny ourselves instead of jointly progress

Alieness
@First Movement Flash blue, breezes and gentle touches where he is her favourite dancer. Twitchy tickly itchy movement, likewise violin trembled string Autumn arrives with butterfly wings. He is a dancer. Fainted @ Noon sun ray. He says “Hi… Give me a Five” Shine or silver, day to day. It all turns to grey. @Second Movement Life in a day where there are knots in every skein. The moment of whispering And the surprise gifts of the Year. Look. Rains and showers flushed into her skirt. Autumn lands with a giant painting brush. She is a painter. Arrayed in Gold and red, twirling canvas panels with leaves upon her ankles. Their intense autumnal melancholy embittered @Third Movement life wonders’ bedroom window. Of oscillating thread that winds between the living and the living we thought were dead.

Autumn falls with hymn choral from spider’s web. He and she reunions Soul to soul, pole to pole with blesses with increase and life, They are gross and simple creatures, jointly servant of the Will.

Season Autumn( Three movements)
There’s only a dew of elixir in the bottom of the empty cup sleeping as lamb Now they call it heart, I call it polluted spirit, and you may call it ruby pomegranate granules But we the simplest so called human entities jointly may only Love and this is sufficient To suffer for the thousand years and a day more The one who cares not is the luckiest mundane ignorant but I’m the one alike who outpours his quintessential not knowing for whom Not knowing for what reason a purpose never show its glamour in advance For warning, for love or even for sake of its purest manifestation In times when words were queued in the thread abundantly curved in bobbin from the human scalp The necklace of verse is fading its shine no sparkling truths gurgles from its spring to obey our thirsts We the thirsty souls for divine morsel wandering in here as the spirits of suicide victims Empty stomachs of enfant terrible only for the grasp of the truth they never hear even as the sound of insect Never as the sound of falling frozen spirit in jade that you may later see as the Galatea of divine maternal essence A cornucopia of latent blessings waits A deficit of Love outbursts proudly displaying its genitalia without a drop of shame I wander as a working bee searching for the nectar of wisdom to feed my Queen bee And bestow her eternal life with the royal jelly leaking elegantly from the bottom to the navel

Elixir
I can’t help thinking that almost every girl I meet could possibly, potentially be, yes, a screamer in the sack, or better, a soul mate in the sack, or even a confidant in a coffee shop, or anywhere. And then they could jointly rule my kingdom imperiously, like the Queen of Babylon, or maybe Bathsheba, who was having a bath when David espied her and then jumped her in his boudoir. I suppose an exhibitionist needs a ****** Gee. But it wasn't kosher for David, the King of Judea, to then have murdered Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, so he could afterwards marry her. What? Yeah, this is all in that whodunnit, the first tabloid, the Old Testament. But look, I'm getting away from the path here. What I'm talking about is girls that I innocently meet without trying to get them in closer. I don't spy on girls in the bath or the shower and I don't have anyone murdered for *** or for power. Or for anything! I'm a writer, see? I simply imagine, inside my head, that we all fall fabulously in love, and blow our minds instead. Mike T Minehan
