This poem has no greater or deeper meaning, You'll find no revelation worth even dimes, No great personal thought or investment, (Unless you think it needs one. I don't) But that I quite love dried mangoes Then, jotting this like scribbles, I know they won't last long It seems quite scary... All shrinking out. Fade away. And now Gone.

Mangoes
As leaves of crimson fall, & bleed  like cherry wine sleeping parrot greens, they overtake mind, I quietly approach, set up a sneaky blind, I spot a toucan looking tree in colors rarely seen it takes my breath away in soft & brilliant sheens, showing off the beauty, & creating quite a scene, Amber hues of mustard, blending in with rust, others look like wheat that was baked inside a crust, so telling you about it, is something that I must, Burning up the sky in flamingo sunset pink as if I'm in the Tropic's just sippin' down a drink, look at all the colors, just amazing, don't you think? Like a lovely bird of paradise is landing in my hair, so I can write it down a story we can share, I'm jotting down the words, like Ginger & Astaire, Out arift upon the skies I hear the weeping willow I close my eyes to dream & lay on leafy pillows like sheets of iridescent, quoting as they billow, I stand in admiration, a journey that I applaud sent to me from heavens from hands, a loving God, leaves today are burning stand mystified & awed So beautiful & grand your plumage is at peak, waving me dear willow I softly hear her speak, Listen to the sounds as they open up their beak Go press a few examples to savor every day listen very closely to every word I say you take 'em out again when the skies are turning grey Cherie Nolan© 2016

"A Toucan Looking Tree"
So I haven't had time To read many prose and rhymes Sneaking pretty words like drugs From all the **** poem writing thugs Hide up under the bar I've only read two so far Work is cutting in to my addiction Reading and writing, my affliction Maybe I can hide in the storage closet That gives me time to write one comment Jotting rhymes on my arm Who said poetry didn't cause harm Its my obsession This is my confession I cannot hide it anymore I recognise I'm a poem ***** I go from one poem to another "Feeling" them up like a lover Then on to the next For more word *** Yep, I'm a nympho-poemac Addicted to poetry crack Your pretty words are my drugs And you **** poets are the poem writing thugs

Poem Thugs
Sitting alone at the bar Writing down my dreams On cocktail napkins with beer stains As the smoke slowly circles the ceiling fans I felt helpless and weak Wishing you’d steal a kiss And fall asleep wrapped in my arms Caressing your lips softly with my fingertips Leaving at her beckoning Tempted by a sultry dance In a serpent’s grasp ensnared By a gorgon’s gaze, a siren’s song entranced How can I compete? But how can I lose you It may well **** me to watch you spiral But here I am, slowly dying for you Sitting daydreaming in a bar Jotting down some insecurities About an endless lonely existence No resisting, no escape, no remedies

Cocktail Napkins
Jotting everything down Lists and dates NAMES Names names... I know your faces But I can't remember Adding to my confusion Forgetting simple things In my daily routine Question marks Screen my thoughts   What was I doing? I ask myself Entering a room Where am I going with this What was my point Oh ya!! I FORGOT Jl 2016

Memory Loss
I have fought hard with Anxiety Having been swung between Two spheres of moods One of melancholy and the other Of excited elated optimism Between the two I would exhaust myself Day and Night And to deal with my emotions Was no easy task I would cry and weep I would feel down And blame myself I would apologize For being thus I was not in my element I tell When I am fresh I feel I have lagged behind Due to missing things while at low It has been one sad plight For me to have come thus far I am still hopeful of a day When I have overcome These swinging moods I hope to keep a positive Spirit that enables me To act constructively When I can't be constructive I would just start affirm That I am more Than I think I am Then I start To work like I have been Able bodied and able minded Sitting here jotting down makes it all come to view. Affirm and believe that is what i do now to be better each day I am responsible I am reliable I ma resourceful I am resilient i am healthy; i am lucky ; i am virtuous; i am organized I feel the energy when I say these I act different when I say these I have faith surging into my veins From somewhere or nowhere I create, I cook, I clean, I write, I eat, I make tea, I feed my family I pray, I meditate, I am not overwhelmed i am a wonderful person When I affirm I can live with this person She is good to me She thinks highly of me She attracts nice friends to her She is just pleasant to be around She is someone I could love forever She is my friend and hero She is my superstar and confidant She is all I need to keep me Close to the Creator I love her I love me I love the positive me I love the quiet me I love the peaceful me I love the loving me I love the lovable me i love all that she could be I love all that she gave up for me I love her day and night I love being with her all my life I need noone but her I need nothing but her love I need nothing but her assurance I need only her She and I We are one and the same We play and plan together We are best friends We create our good times We are the joy of the world We are the gift to the world Together we conquer Together we let go Together we enjoy the ocean Together we go places Together we are I and myself

A lifelong Michigander I've endured my share of brutal winters The ones that seem to thoroughly freeze you Right into the cracks of your armor You know, the toughness that you show the world Deeper experiences than your skin, reaching past and Down right to your bones A woman seemingly designed for melancholy I struggle and have to beware of making it my identity For I am much more than that sorrow which has shaped me I've endured my share of hardship and pain You know, the kind that bandages cannot reach And pain can feel like a gnawing within Like the winters that penetrate you Ones that reach your bones And bone crushing, they do feel But I'm no fool And I use the pain For in vain I won't let it become For spring could not be so glorious, it seems Without the show of its flip-side...a frozen reality Joy would be meaningless to me Without understanding the truth of Disappointment, sorrow, hurt, loneliness... gut-wrenching misery that all must face At least once in their lives Maybe it sounds cliche but.... The rain might seem dismal and unpleasant But surely you bask in the green of its fulfillment A birth might be agonizing for the mother But surely the life brought into the world is the beautiful result These are some of my thoughts, lately The conceiving and jotting down of them Help me to hold on when life doesn't seem right Help me to grow beyond my comforts to reach up and beyond Challenging me to stretch my faith into a bigger dimension   While getting through the tempests of life

Getting Through the Tempests of Life

The way he held me How his eyes sparked When met with mine My god it threw me Into a hope Consuming But hope is tricky And slippery And devouring reason Committing treason For a season Then returning In the yearning Of the glance From a new boy From a new romance **** Phases of the moon Of the heart A slivering slice of a crescent The Oh dear god HOPE Of a new start LOL. Just kidding This new moon And this new thing Can’t be seen In the dark of night In my limited sight Black-on-black It’s all just the same **** Right? No way, baby! Call it a maybe! Call it a feather In your hat On your wing Just fly into the horizon Of the hope Of this new thing Until the arrow Of the truth Enters the marrow Of your VIP booth This is not cool This is ruth… Listen to me You idiot You fool Remember boy one Who held you And flew too close to the sun He burned you to ash Then said “goodbye forever I’m done” Well, **** me up That was fun Then boy two Who shoved you Into the abyss Wait...I’d be remiss Not to mention All of that ****** tension Simmering Steaming Boiling And Gleaming Like the rays of the moon Is she full yet? Nah, it’s too soon She’s still hiding In the newness Of nothing Of black-on-black Call me out I lack a back Bone to hold up Any more hope It’s all rotting now In bed all day Jotting down Memories as if they will save me Wow. Okay. Less saving Instead Evaporate me Into the ether Into the sun Into the moon The end seems far away So I’ll just bide time In my cocoon Dreaming of the day When she will bloom Into her fullness Picturesque Over the crescent Of a dune

I chronicle in rhythm and rhyme, Scribbling, jotting, imaging the times: I dug down to Lucy, And China's Great Wall, Compared Viking raids with personal tirades; Asked God questions, questioned Jeff Sessions, And all of that where-with-all. I've called wrong out, and written about Our scandals, all fancy or true; I've offered you solace, Even opened my wallet, And grieved when it was due. I've been self-righteous, And sometimes right selfless, When parsing my love for you. But now it should end, I've less left to send, And so love I bid, Adieu.

Sunset Clause
Jotting down a few words As I update a journal Influences of her perfection Adds a status quo Marvel by her ways I put together a sentence Like a songbird Verbalizing a perch No dictionary can match Her superb dialect Barriers of longevity I discovered myself Doubts in her words with captivity Lost in a colloquial speech No woman on earth moves As if she does Intriguing to the thoughts Her grammar Has many episodes Which causes drama within Shall I abandon What have I learned Knowing my love Is just a few acronyms Can sell no less In terms of our Endearment

A Journal
this isn't a poem. this isn't some well written piece of literature that will be quoted underneath photos of our depressed youth of America. this is me jotting down my thoughts at 9:26 p.m. i sit in the darkness of my newly decorated room (i needed a change of scenery, so a make over was in place) and i wonder why you don't like me. maybe i'm not specifically upset as to why you aren't interested, but more so why half the guys i pursue look the other way. I'm sitting here, dear reader, and i realize that it isn't the sad songs that make me cry, but instead the dead silence that crowds my empty room. I wonder why you didn't take me when you had the chance, didn't sweep me off my feet. I've annoyed my friends with the constant talking of you, it consumes me. i don't understand why my own two legs are strangers to the rest of my body and why they can't hold me up sometimes. i passed English 1101 with a 99, and yet i can't seem to find the right words to string together and form a sentence to utter out of my mouth. my mouth won't form the right shape to pronounce the few words i can muster. when someone asks me if i'm ok, i cry. I'm in mourning, i hate the snow that packs the sidewalks. you weren't mine and that's hard to process. it's like i have found my soulmate, but my soulmate doesn't return the same affection. sometimes i feel that i am seen as only meat for boys of all ages to circle around and toy with before they viciously devour. I am eye candy, i am known for nothing other than my appearance. when i write, i am my words. today i went to an abandoned house and i felt sadness surround me, along with the scent of musk and moth ***** i bought a goldfish and it died because i over fed it. i care too much about things and they die.

write a poem everyday make it a daily habit note whatever you've to say the bitter or the sweet. stare at the screen before you or the page if it's so there's always something new awaiting your ink's flow. some you've to dig not much a few need delving deep some may feel like feather touch a few would make you weep. sometimes the hand would just not move at other would run like horse sometimes the words would sing and groove cry out like waves' roars. while you write you may bleed or kiss the blue like bird jotting down is all you need the inner voice that's heard.

To the poets in the bud
I wrote a letter the other day. dancing around the subject of dragonflies I don’t speak in their language honestly its too complicated because I don’t speak in nuzzles I don’t speak in love I speak in the cold attitude of indifference I mutter thoughts in blue ballpoint pen To him I speak in keyboard clicks with a snap of a twig we flip and we are in the same room matching cereal bowls emptied of their contents in the sink We speak in notches on a bed post and a mattress on the floor We speak in unwashed sheets He crushes my disdain as if it were a walnut shell and informs me that I speak in my sleep Whatever the weather we stay at home stare out the windows at the fairy lit wilderness jotting down whatever concepts come to mind he is cream rolling in peaks smooth and whipped poured over his duvet as if he were cool whip on peach pie He is my worst intentions personified I wrote a letter the other day. dancing around the subject of dragonflies I dont speak in their language but he speaks mine even though its complicated we don't speak in words we speak in private displays of affection we speak in caring closed door moments and the texts he asks me to send when I walk home alone To make sure I am safe and In the end I may mutter thoughts in blue ballpoint pen but He reads them loud and clear and responds in love

If i was unafraid, unashamed, and entombed in linoleum
Stare at your father, At the cornered sweat Zigzagging between the Grey hair Left on the borders of his skull; At the spit Exiting from the white bars That once kept his words unsaid. Stare at him, While he repeats the same sentence Over and over and over Until the words curve spaces At the back of your ears, Till all you can hear is “Keep your dreams in the depth of your pockets, Dreams can float once your pockets are full”. But my dreams are like plants They need light to grow, And my pocket is not exactly The place I was thinking about. Stare at your Facebook homepage; The girls left an imprint. The imprints were coded And the codes became a covenant Of which- You gave yourself; And every time before you go to sleep You repeat the same sentence “She is not the one. You love her because she is an image in your head, She is not the one. The one reads books And books have been written about her, The one plays the right music, The one creates scenarios in her head And asks you to act them with he;r The one loves you back The one loves you back.” Stare at the circles you’ve been forming; The words you’ve said That you now take back- Pull strings on your intestines Till your up chuck reflex Kicks in and you start Jotting them on paper; Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll even write a poem.

How to Overthink College Applications:
Breath count. Doubled out. Half pause and exhale. Breathe full for more. Closed eyelids. Charged silence. And then A siren vibration chorus opens up two contrasted locked doors, and falls through my porous shapes. Wash the old cell storage and erase this byzantine conduit maze made for losing myself to the grey man inside my skull. Pull back my irises and behold a reshaping of awareness. I AM thisss awareness. In bold language and expansion, upward glances and dances I made up from star dust ballerinas dancin. So far away from being lost to the chances. There are no chances. Life was made not for you, but from you. To pull through purpose and choose to keep on breathin. Directing ITs glow. Showing God how to flow. How to sing praise and know that nothing has been lost or is leavin. Darkened waters, and quaking storms are weakened in the silent, still, space that this pressence has seeped in. Of, in, around, and through. Creepin. Sleepin until called to move. We are always callin. So true. Yeah, IT stays so true. Whatever you put in, IT pulls to you. So open up, let in this groove or choose to lose all that ever meant something. Was or ever will be hard to lose. Just see the space and welcome IT in the empty fullness from where you begin and end up to begin again. Recycled through spirals of your imagination. Practical estimate of reincarnation; a collective memory passed down through generations of double helix information storage stations jotting down every hoped for expression of who you could possibly be. And still the variations reach towards infinity. So yeah this kinda is your one shot to give this particular expression what you got. God has just got TOO many incredibly beautiful ideas waiting to be expressed. And they are all YOU. So take a step back, it's okay to be impressed. But even when its hard not to lose my breath to this glorious unfolding, I still gotta get up, get dressed, and go to work in the morning. I greet presence with every breath I take. Or at least try  to remember ITs name. I'm still unfolding myself. Still just pushing the sleep dust from the corners of my eyes. But with you by my side there is no one against me. Only a lover constantly insisting that the room is oh so cleverly crowded with secret undercover versions of myself. Existing in and expressing The ONE LIFE that we all are. Come to me my Love. Let us begin. Again.

the locomotive moves steadily across the tracks, puffing thick black smog into the air, never a whine until you pull the breaks. the great rolling beast carries its prey, flaming fauna displaced from their rocky habitats, that wait to be swallowed up and converted to new life. the procession of metal bodies traverses across worlds, taking its indomitable wheels into the tundra, the prairie, the urban jungle, at speeds unknown to lesser beings— or even the creators themselves. but the mighty locomotive does not just conquer mountains and valleys, cities and forests alike. it takes friends, partners, clients on the journey. the smallest ones fall into slumber and breathe soundly, blending with the giant’s hum. as the client’s size increases, their alert eyes dart across the land as the train rips through gravel, rock, and earth; a pasture of horses may be seen and addressed accordingly. the full grown passenger opens their notebook, jotting down thoughts, identification numbers, budgets, letters, and the like. they are often the assumed leaders within the belly of the beast, but the train knows of the true captain’s identity. the final friends to name, the eldest in the cars. they know the locomotive, being the on its quest across continents, possessing a gentle care with the resting of a hand upon the velvet organs of the beast. the old ones know the displaced embers, rusted iron bones, cracked glass eyelids, and slowing wheels that come with conquered continents. so, when the great train creaks to a stop, the elders exist their trusty cars, leave a tip for the porter, and whisper a quiet “thank you” to the train before stepping cautiously onto the oak platform below. from the locomotive, never a whine, not even to beckon its favorite patrons farewell.

The Locomotive

thoughts come crashing out of sound
 my fingertips just jotting down 
the words and all the feelings too
 with depths as vast as the ocean blue 
the lyrics flee my mouth and mind
 as quickly as this watch tells time
 each second ticks to match my pen 
etching this paper from end to end
 we’re emptying the flowing cup
 of tears and smiles, it’s not enough 
to cleanse me of those dying days
 of barking dogs and kids at play 
forever shadows in my brain
 they’re never to be real again 
but nothing will change for me 
for i will never be set free 
until words fall from outer space 
into this soundproof plastic case
 where they can scream but won’t be heard
 for nothing is quite more absurd
 than silences that shriek aloud
 and chatter mouths who can’t be found
 only fools attempt to understand
 and that is why we walk this land

Had a lot on my mind Tried jotting it down Now I'm facing a DWI Told the officer *Sir I'm not drunk I was just writing while I drive* So he gave me a WWD

Writing While Driving (WWD)
She hides behind the blond dye in her hair and the often-smearing black rings around her eyes the greatest struggle in her life as of late is in the groggy mornings, having to rise out of bed to face the day and the people she would really rather avoid She is black and white a pendulum stuck swinging from one side of the spectrum to the other There is no gray in her life, and so, to compensate, her mind short circuited and sent fireworks to the sky She tends to writing songs with names that explain their purpose just outright as if she knows she needs to help the world to understand what’s going on inside her head, and to write the names of bands she thinks are rather nice along the edges of her wrists and hands She drinks quite a lot of tea for a girl of her size and obsesses over bands and boys she knows may never know her name she spends most of her time learning and writing songs on her guitar and jotting down lovely ideas for fantasies and wild adventures She isn’t the type of girl you think you would expect but the things she does surprise you, and that’s all you really need As unique a girl that she is adds great moments to any day, so search for them, and cherish them, because a girl like this does not come as often as you’d like

this is the first outing since you Since "we" became and "you" and "I" And I was terrified But, it went alright. Butterflies formed in my gut But, not the kind you used to give A different kind A new kind A kind that I could get used to. I watched his face as he talked I observed his mannerisms And probably looked like a creep But, for an instance, I could not recall yours. We watched a movie and he laughed A loud laugh that was contagious A deep, full laugh That was so different from what I've heard before. I was awkward And he was nice We talked And it was nice. I apologized for being awkward He said it was alright He asked what I'm writing I said "Nothing special" I think I lied. Not that I'm in love But, now a bit less afraid Like a weight lifted Who knew fear weighed so much? So what am I writing? Just jotting down some thoughts ...Possibly But...nothing special? I might have lied.

I Might Have Lied
Ten thousand words dedicated to everyone and everything in my life, illustrating everything from love and happiness to heartache and strife. I never think about jotting down much about myself except for what ills me, so I’ll use this space at my own pace to try and explore each concept that fills me. I like night much more than day, it’s quiet and there’s more to what people say, ‘Cause even though I’m a good liar honesty is refreshing. I like my music loud and long drives but I always want to know where I’ll arrive, It’s not that I’m a control freak but I don’t like to be kept guessing. I’ve got an amazing memory, you probably could quiz me, I know almost every lyric to every song before two thousand and five. And I’m strangely good at math, in fact it still makes me laugh that I was on the honour roll after missing 80 days; I didn’t even strive. And I really love dogs, elephants, penguins and frogs, I believe animals are angels that live amongst us. I love summer’s weather but winter’s clothing, I can wear a happy mask or I’m always moping, It’s not that I’m fake or depressed, I’m just like gold covered in rust. I smoke like a chimney even though I can barely breathe and I love to dance when no one else is around. I’m good at impersonations, I can mimic a singer from each generation, but it makes me question how I myself sound. I like colourful lighters and pens, my favourite numbers are all before ten, And I can keep going on but it might get troubling. I like to make everyone feel as ease, And I like hanging out under trees, You can call me Em but if I love you you can call me Emily.

Dear Friend, I care not if this doesn't trend.... I have to air these thoughts out, I feel that I should, without a doubt..... I came--with my baggage, A bit fearful and without courage. Though, at first, I hesitated, I decided sooner, I should get started. I saw--your concise comments, Read them during my soulful moments. Encouraging words you sincerely offered, When some would not at all have bothered. I conquered-- all my worries and fears.... With much support from YOU and the rest of our peers Because of you, I write, unmindful of the throes, Jotting down all my joys, my pain and my woes. Lovely soul, dear friend, You and your words, indeed, are heaven-sent... A spring to nourish your parched lands, Arid winds kept at bay, far away from your bushlands. Suffice it to say.... You always make my day. Elizabeth Squires, this one's for you.... My way of saying, "Thank you!" Sally Copyright 2013 Rosalia Rosario A. Bayan
