"logos" poems
I'll be eaten alive one day: one day, i see it in my mind so close to closure along an empty street late at night (owls just retired and birds not yet up), orbs of light tethered to tall electric poles cast dappled circles on cracked pavement; illumination and safety (for that two metre radius). Stepping between them like a girl child on stones across a garden, I anticipate each missed step as sinking into sand or frightful waves. Singing drunk back-alley lullabies i'll soothe the skelebabies in their sleep, their poor crusted noses snuffled against a cold shift of air (their private torment plastered over billboards with corporate logos and dim colours, suggesting the city's lights have gone out and the local government is in frantics. That is, after all, what you'd focus on) Girl child games were so tipsy and magic (and so close to real coldness); between two orbs of light i'll slip through the cracks in the pavement. THE END. (eat me alive, eat me alive, eaten alive by the wolf at the door)

Cautionary Tale
When man, enters woman, like the surf biting the shore, again and again, and the woman opens her mouth with pleasure and her teeth gleam like the alphabet, Logos appears milking a star, and the man inside of woman ties a knot so that they will never again be separate and the woman climbs into a flower and swallows its stem and Logos appears and unleashes their rivers. This man, this woman with their double hunger, have tried to reach through the curtain of God and briefly they have, through God in His perversity unties the knot.

When Man Enters Woman
You want me to wear logos in my hair and purchase the matching scarf? A billboard for sale at the human scale Sporting your brand Oh, what a larf! Go Team Go! Print on a throw For the low price of fifty-four dollars I'd rather be happy not buying your sappy stuff that you sport on your collars you tell me to buy because i'll look fly and fill up my closet with swagger Believe when I say not one single day I'll fall to the dance of your dagger!

The Official Poem of the NFL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is not a poem.  This is about a poem. Poems require words.  This poem does not require words. This poem requires memories' muscles. This poem requires what is called colloquially love. Learn that what we share here is not poetry. Your poetic senses that produce the words that mark you present are but surgical tools to extract, release the whole and the parts of you that help shape that single sense borning in your chest that defines you at any particular moment. Quæ est mater Laureat. She is the Mother Laureate. She is the boundary you must learn to cross to be more than a re-arranger of letters and alphabets, but a translator of the human essence and fill our veins with the a sense of awe and wonder felt when we read each other and think aloud, "yes, exactly, that was and is precisely what I was feeling." She is the glue that keeps us sticking here, sticking together, each of us sticking to it.   You do not know her?   No worries, she will find you when you least expect it, perhaps when you need it. This is not a poem.  This is a human who's a poem. Understand the difference and then you may begin a journey that has no destination other than weaving the connective tissue that makes us anticipating excited when we log on. Happy Birthday Mother Poet Laureate! I do not think I can write a better not poem for you.   Forgive me then, if going toward, I repost this every October 24th as long as the chemical composition of blood, God, spirit, logos or reason runs free within,   exiting as words encased in tears that formulate into human poetry. nattyman P.S.There are 800 poems here with Sally in the title, and least 700  are about Sally B.   If you like, please  feel to free to add yours, old or new.

They say marriage is all about compromise. If that's the case, newlyweds Kia Parsons and Billy Bunning are off to an excellent start. The UK couple had different visions when it came to their wedding cake; the bride wanted an all-white tiered cake with cascading sugar flowers. The groom, on the other hand, wanted to incorporate his love of comic book superheroes into the confection. So they met somewhere in the middle: Julia Baker of Tier by Tier cake design created the cake for the couple's August 14 wedding in Milton Keynes, England. One side is the traditional-looking cake the bride wanted. On the other side, icing curtains reveal the logos of Marvel characters Captain America, Spider-Man and Iron Man, as well as Batman from the DC Comics camp. "I loved every minute making this cake, as I knew it would be something that people would be surprised at and appeal to all the Marvel fans!" Julia told The Huffington Post. In all, she spent 40 hours on the cake. It took 12 hours to make the sugar flowers, and the cake-baking and building took about 28 hours. Needless to say, Kia and Billy were thrilled with the finished product. "Julia did such a fantastic job and we were completely overwhelmed by how brilliant it looked!" the bride told HuffPost. "From most angles of the room, the cake looked like a traditional wedding cake -- just what we had wanted. It wasn't until the cake was moved for us to cut that our guests realized there was a hidden extra. Some didn't even realize until the photos went online after the wedding!" On Tuesday, a photo of the cake began going viral when it was shared by the Life Of Dad Facebook page. "I was surprised at how popular it was and how quickly the pictures circulated on social media," Julia said. "I have plenty more ideas to work on and I am calling these 'double-take cakes.'" read more:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-perth www.marieaustralia.com/white-formal-dresses

Rolling a Pall Mall in the courtyard, of Ye Olde Swiss Cottage Tavern, in the last of November's sun:       Lovely sunlight,       You are,       Filling me warmly with joy. Thinking of our desires, from summer and autumn months, up to this bright November morning, we have happily danced, e'en in the shadows. Above me two brick turrets, as I dreamily smoke, nonchalantly state: 'Underground'. High-raised logos winking at our play, struck through with horizontal blue, in a circle of enamel white. 'Old Fool,' the towers hiss, directed at my mortal sensibilities, 'winter has come!' But nothing buries us as our sun still comfortingly kindles a friendly star which when all is dark, glows inside, guiding the shipwreck of my sunken years - the debts and all those unpaid thrills! Dreaming and Loving, as children out, lost in an abundant ***** each holding off for as long as we dare, lovers unmasked, naked before suffocating paternity, and cold winter's bite! where to we hardly know, to avoid its cruel embrace.

Winter Come
I have not been anywhere, done anything, thought anything, and feel nothing. At least, that’s what my blank, plain-clothed T-shirt would indicate to other people. A man walking the earth with no visible identity. When I put on my Hawaiian shirt, however, they believe my mind to be full of pineapples, hula girls swinging softly in the ukulele moonlight, palm fronds swaying in the dacron, or is it rayon, ripples of my baggy upper man. Let others think what they might of my images, or the lack of words and logos. My inner tag says that I’m size “L” and that I’m made on factory looms in China, that my buttons are constructed to look like the real thing–a round slice of bone or perhaps ivory. I am not so much anywhere on the outside, even though there are places I would like to go fling my few dollars. Inside, however, I am lost, pleasantly lost and hiding, within the convenience of my unprinted shirt.

T-Shirt Identity
Dealing so much with figurative language, I cannot help but notice how many people restrict themselves to either Mythos or Logos. Myth or Logic. Symbol or Reason. Yin or Yang. Firefox, by default, doesn't even recognize that Mythos is a word: Mythos- The aspect of the mind concerning itself with the figurative, the abstract; implications, symbolism and interpretation. Passive. 'Relative'.  Yin. Logos - The aspect of the mind concerning itself with reason, proof, tangibility and fact. Active. 'Absolute'. Yang. It is of utmost importance to take both with a grain of salt. It is of equal importance to ponder both for what they are worth. Mythos seeks not to always be correct; but to make one think what is right and true within one's self. Logos seeks to be accurate. To describe, define, calculate, forecast, and replicate the physical.   Most are biased towards one and away from the other; it is impossible to have a balanced existence if you embrace one and deny the other: If one fails to respect duality, duality will tear one in twain. The path to salvation is comprised of both of these styles of thought: To seek only one is to condemn oneself to Autosegragationistic Social Darwinianism.

If one fails to respect Duality, Duality will tear one in twain
We sipped boulder rock from refrigerators doors and watched the heavens hand out food stamps with IBM logos. “ode to Mehmet” we sang, and licked the Mossberg— fixating on the blue collar philosophy that lived in our empty wallets. Trash cans filled with water bottles stared at us to find our essence— the one we had lost while being fed quintessential American idioms in state-of-the-art classrooms sponsored by slaves and Popol Vuh blood. Six million years of human existence trivialized down to a single sentence— ** Man loved God, man wrote, man conquered God, and now man loves science** — scribbled on SmartBoards afforded by fire burning from Prometheus’ female liver. Trees sing with oxygen no more for the sake of making paper, and eyes soak in the words on paper for the sake of making paper. Trees make the avenue but the future holds an Avenue of no trees— … for in the land of the free, anything but freedom ain’t free.

The pierced ego sees through an opaque lens; a vestige of hope, humor and   intellectual solidarity. Effigies of forgotten ethos, the culmination of a fated dream; unrequited ardor, abandons identity to an irreducible fervor,                       subtext of tension,                     enduring ****** privation; etude of a paramour ending torture, tasting mystical polarity. The wounded heart once intruded, bleeds effusive; the ornament of humility. Flattened collateral damage, primal search, proves illusive; portals of hurt, slivers of pride, assembled fragments of thereness absorb the loss of my English muse. Poetry and devotion punctuated murmurs of piety,   depth perception virtue unfound; expectation - access to suffering;   disinterested love present,   desultory carnage of rescission,    absurdity personified; euphemism of adieu, the sound of no sound. The discarded image finds no favor, the salt lost it's savor unquenched thirst; desire of diminished purview, the saporus stream deferred; vision eclipsed; saturated self hidden in the text. Poverty asks the question, absence summons ethereal substance merged into the immanent frame; integrating, in solitude signifying, mediating - logos contested the humiliation of the word. Lyrical enigma, where did I go? provisional personality scorned, renouncing nostrums of the prosaic, surrenders to the the realm interior sovereignty assumed in provenience, native horizon of the next. ©2008 & 2011 W.S.

But that's why our savior said Look the other way, To meet hate with more hatred Speeds up the decay We love the villains, though they **** us by millions Because they're truly a part of this cosmic cotillion They can't see the dance while they're Crashing and sinning So they can't imagine they're actually IN IT There's a part and they fit it, Catalyst for the equipment Of Salvation: The nations of women and men Beginning again We'll cancel the debt and we'll all become friends

I am resilient today I've yet to right a wrong, Write poem, Sight a note, Convey in pros, Hope for hope, Join the stream, Bathe in logos, Come close to host the thoughts of all; Boast? I don't think so. What's not achieved Isn't real? Really? I cannot convey the souls that reside this body, This mind, Chimed, From which end of the chimera? The poem intoned, Vocal aspects of the crone. Cyclically saying, I am resilient.

Responsibility
Out of the night forth flamed a star -mine own! Now seventy light-years nearer as I urge Constant my heart through the abyss unknown, Its glory my sole guide while space surge About me. Seventy light-years! As I near That gate of light that men call death, its cold Pale gleam begins to pulse, a throbbing sphere, Systole and diastole of eager gold, New life immortal, warmth of passion bleed Till night's black velvet burn to crimson. Hark! It is thy voice, Thy word, the secret seed Of rapture that admonishes the dark. Swift! By necessity most righteous drawn, Hermes, authentic augur of the dawn!

Angry, Annoyed, and Jobless Starting to feel hopeless wondering what it takes to make it and if I have it or if I can even find it. Friends changing, time passing, learning the youth is not everlasting. Face changing showing some aging starting to feel the body aching. Looking at all the time taken. Many roads could have but should have that were never taken. Searching for employment in a maze of internet searches and job applications. Getting red starting to steam with the same response with different logos. Not knowing why it's always a no go. Went to school got a couple of degrees. One is just a mantel decoration made of cheap balsa wood and lies. The other is great but never enough. Wanting more companies always want more. I think education and jobs are working together. Education is the wheelbarrow that takes all of your money Jobs is the boot kicking you in the *** to remind you that you do not have any and that you need more. Every time we pass go with another job interview we get a glimpse of hope but it drives off in a car or sails away in the corporate battleship. That leaves only the dog to **** on our dreams and leaves us wondering where is our dream of lots of money and a big top hat. Just left to feel thimble like and try to iron out the details of your life I am tired of looking tired of getting told no. Going to do it on my ******* own. Load up the cannon with what money, hope, and dreams I have left and shoot for the stars and hope I can reach mine and fulfill my dream and escape this monopoly game of life.

Education is the wheelbarrow that takes all of your money Jobs is the boot kicking you in the *** to remind you that you do not have any and that you need more. Every time we pass go with another job interview we get a glimpse of hope but it drives off in a car or sails away in the corporate battleship. That leaves only the dog to **** on our dreams and leaves us wondering where is our dream of lots of money and a big top hat. Just left to feel thimble like and try to iron out the details of your life I am tired of looking tired of getting told no. Going to do it on my ******* own. Load up the cannon with what money, hope, and dreams I have left and shoot for the stars and hope I can reach mine and fulfill my dream and escape this monopoly game of life.

the hip children of the night prey on logos and women, they have created counterfeit cultures made from images of yore slipped their flesh under blankets next to lovers or empty space and declared war against their own human race chased down roads in eclectic threads hollering into the wind with wild hair that navigate over skin unaware of history and tradition. while the feral animals look on with muted colors and salivate with a thirst to apply their instincts, their tendencies to seek out the enemy instead of calmly waiting for their alarming arrival.

the enemy
Reality can keep the glamour and it can also take the glitz, cause nowadays we discover ourselves on computer chips. We  see  how others live in all kinds of far places then try to be individuals in books full of faces. And lets face it these days our lives are being recorded; information on your likes and activities stored and sorted. You ignore it; never get hurt by what you don't know more concerned about how you'll crop your next photo. Gotta make sure to fit in all your clothes logos cause it'll for sure make haters go loco. When they see how you live life with the motto 'yolo' it will make them all wanna examine their livesand say 'oh no'. Man I swear this yolo fad has gotta run into the ground cause if you lived twice your second one wouldn't be spent ******* around. But nowadays we become a grown up on webpages with profiles full of pictures and landmarks to chart phases. Some might call it art in the way that we all make it but, its a mirror to ourselves til the minute we all break it. Can't shake it - the feeling we've crossed realities borders into a digital realm ruled by coded orders, with back doors and corridors, and plasma screens and lots of cords, USB's and PC's, Web Cams, and DVD's, terrabytes and touch screens, reach out and you can touch dreams. but all that you touch it just seems without the intention to be. Because locked inside the screen is reality invested you wouldn't waste your time if no one else was interested. It's been suggested that staring at the screen is bad for your eyes but I do imply that being glued to it is bad for our lives. Now when we meet face to face we cannot even socialize we apply on dating sites and get further categorized. So now it's like who we are is only what does appear to others on all these sites we might never even come near some attraction that was natural pulling in with real excitement, so I guess romance is gone in the age of social enlightenment.

All it takes to be a Mystic is to be willing to take mental risks for a chance at greater understanding; All it takes to be a Mystic is to delve into the Void, come back with some new thing and share that thing with the World; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be sensitive to one's own Path reminding others of theirs; All it takes to be a Mystic is to not be afraid to defy your Time, peers and Culture to bring forth the Divinity inherent in everything; All it takes to be a Mystic is not not be deterred by what you are told, but instead to be guided by what you feel truest in yourself; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be able to interpret and take things symbolically, *Mythos and Logos*, synesthetically creating a new mutual Reality; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be willing and able to be a Prism for the Divine; to purify the Mirror of your being; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be Artistic; Creative and Imaginative, not that the Mystic must be an Artist, or that any Artist is a Mystic, but that the Mystic is most naturally expressed through the various Artistic mediums; To be an example for the masses of just how the many are One as One is truly the many and thus All is Divine: How the Universe itself and all it's inhabitants are the expressions reflections and manifestations of the Godself; An illusion, A Dream: **Godself and self is One.** -- All is a Chapel of Sacred Mirrors divided by Mind into Self and Other, but all is truly Godself: Collective Unconscious and Personal Conscious, Brahman and Ātman, Godself and Self; One in the same. Tat tvam asi. All it takes to be a Mystic is to be willing and able to look inward and learn: Godself and Self; One in the Same.

They say facebook is a crime For people who a have lot of time But I’ll say I don’t have lot of time Does that mean for me it is not crime? You can’t learn to cook, If you got facebook. But if you cook You share it on facebook Fun wall, Super wall, You write everything that happened in the shopping mall But why can’t you just say it ,by giving me a call Chit, chat, chit, chat You talk about what happen to that little brat In the end, they can do nothing All you can do, is keep on chatting Uploading photos Thinking maybe should add a few more logos You post, they comment Still you won’t be content Update your status Will not make famous Sometimes you will feel hapless Forget it,but just don’t be careless So much notification But it’s not the place to find real motivation It’s the mentors’ with great education So it’s not too late to reach a better destination

the things we share on skype
I I am him, the man seeking solitude I am him, the boy annoyed afraid and hates being Alone A flea, fleeing man traversing fleeting moments. Burning away oil, soaked fleece. North Face coming home feels more and more of a disgrace North Star I want to follow that sweet shoulder with that brainwashing LOGO LOGOS save me logo log logarithm love My jacket pulled over her legs freezing she says shivering chills Withdrawal, hence we are en route to the corner to get well. sitting silent and innocent (comparatively with the deranged driver). in the backseat as this driver drives lives nowhere and the only place we all want to go everywhere all at once into oblivion we go sullen eyes and veins soaked with ****** and ******* I am him the man looking in the mirror with disdain I am him The man afraid of what he sees. Maybe dolorful colorful Colorado can save Him. This is my Howl This is my Purge save me save me save me me I fear of Art becoming dead to me If fear of God dying to me Dan is dead II The neighborhood is dim snow falls I smoke on the porch 5 years before what you just read Dan is still alive and as I smoke on the porch snow falls I watch the people commuters college professors middle class lower class intelligent stupid rich poor white black doctors trash man *** heads junkies young girls grandparents my community America These people enclosed in there cars on their faces just regret anger disappointment I start to wish there was something I could offer them but I have nothing myself only fog of dreams in my head
