"maxine" poems
There's no one mean as mean Maxine, She smells like old cigars, her brain is smaller than a bean, I wish she'd move to mars. Some day I'll list the things I hate, And that is where I'll list her, I'd like pack her in a crate Too bad Maxine's my sister.

Mean Maxine
young lovers enthralled in a passion that can melt the deepest Alpine snow cap announce an intention to join as one till death do you part the elders smile at the audacity of your grandiloquent proclamation youthful optimism expressing pollyannish sentiments born of wistful hope yet to learn the rules of the vows of matrimony and the endless sweet labor required to keep it alive and well thus i pass on this sage advice when the baby cries at night when the car won't start when the rent bill is due and you find yourself a bit short i wish you love... when the cupboard is bare and the desire to satiate swelling hunger pangs is overwhelming i wish you love… when you find yourself travelling through roads that are unfamiliar and foreboding when you are hopelessly lost in the darkest reaches of the Black Forest i wish you love… as you grow as individuals straining your relationship when in laws become outlaws and the pulls and pushes of family and friends becomes unfamiliar and misunderstood i wish you love… when resentments and insecurities conspire to undermine trust when greener pastures pose a mirage of better things i wish you love… when oversight and neglect leave you empty when the luster of the edelweiss bloom fades when exasperation melts the Alps greatest glacier flooding everything you have when the untended furnace doesn't fire and the last log is consumed be patient be diligent be expectant be kind hold on to it believe in it practice it trust it may it bind you in a perfect circle and all your fondest hopes and wishes will be yours i wish you love… Stevie Wonder Signed Sealed Delivered Salutation for Engagement Party Maxine Lintel and Glendon McCallum Munich 11/29/13 jbm

19/4/13 12.01am Like fragile bubbles, children fly so swiftly as we set them free between the earth and cloudswept sky with colours swirling magically. I watched my sweet boy go to war so sad-eyed, in his uniform his colours darker than before like greying clouds before a storm. Go carefully into the fray beloved boy, return to me all I can do is wait and pray as once again, I set you free. *Inspired by a scene from BBC1's The Village, in which Joe (Nico Mirallegro) was about to return to the front line in WW1 and his mother Grace (Maxine Peake) had been showing very poignant hints of the fear she felt for his survival in the trenches.*

Maxine (10W)
*inspired by the performances of Maxine Pearce & Nico Mirallegro in BBC1's The Village, this is from the point of view of a mother to a son who has to go to war* 01.20am, 30/4/13 Wherever life may send you However far away May light beings befriend you Angels, to light your way Four angels for protection To guard the path ahead Three more for introspection To drive out fear and dread May archangels placate you And sanctify your dreams May love illuminate you However dark life seems. Wingbeating high above you To guide you on your way The angels and I love you A little more each day.

The new ruse: presidential psychosis an impartial and swift diagnosis as you trump-up the charge but the sign is writ large: twenty-twenty TRUMP/PENCE the prognosis. Corrupt psychiatric inspection serves to further a facile detection: presidential unfitness. (But God is our witness; you're mad 'cause you lost the election.) As you slander the president's sanity you exhibit your own inhumanity. I would urge all you losers and lying accusers to listen to Savage and Hannity. In your desperate drive to impeach you would grasp what is out of your reach. The infernal machine steered by crazy Maxine makes a nasty mechanical screech. The Democrat narrative flounders while our nation's own hateful confounders promote red revolution mob-rule as solution insulting the faith of the Founders. Though the state-sponsored media lie, our beleaguered republic must try to transcend inhumanity; quell the insanity. (Both wings are needed to fly.)

Answering Maxine
Sometimes I often wonder what life brings When your heart no longer wants to sing Some days I think deeply and wonder why I no longer laugh and all I ever do is cry Wounds never seem to heal scarred forever Is this my life for real with no endeavor I am a pebble on this empty beach Battered by the waves filled with grief My crying heart screams out in agony Sadness what spell have you cast over me I am a shadow of my former self Yesterday's happiness sitting on the shelf I stare off into this night of misery Will I live again to taste calm seas Ripples of waves flow to the shore May I touch love's kiss once more Thanks Maxine. Maxine is a poet I collaborated with on another site. Maybe she will join here now :-)

Never find Nobody Like Me
John David Washington Ave. Suspended. It tastes like violet. Cloudy. Renaissance and headed towards. The Maxine. Mountain only spitting globes. Of parted jacket. Faulty. Leaving electric glass behind. Though it's eyes. No weaving of inner fuchsia. Collected, only slept in yesterday's clothes. Garrett Johnson.

I have never felt as close to you as when home died holding my hand Amidst flannel sheets and goose down comforters Your memory waded through the Pacific to me Finally finding the truth in absence It ******* hurts Murky skied nights write poems in dark water Leaving the stars to fend for themselves Like orphaned children waiting for death to spin the wheel backwards Trick time to get one more day

For Maxine
I wear a paper crown and a blanket as a robe I bare my big front teeth with a grin My voice echoes when I roar My feet stomp carelessly, shaking the floor I am not a king, possibly a prince? I am wild and unruly and untamed I am loud and rude and mean Yet my fur is soft and my heart is clean I am Max - or Maxine King - or prince of the Wild Things

they always said writing would help and it does but i'm not talking to you i'm facing a piece of paper which starts me off somewhere... so dear dad, how have you been? still sober? still raising her children? still blaming all of your life's misfortunes on me? how am i doing? i'm doing alright i get sad at night when i'm alone and i think of all the things you've said and then everything is piled up in my head and i can't hear anything but your voice your coy, manipulative, voice if only you would have known how wrong you were when you said i'd never make it in the real world or find somebody to love me or be happy you see, i listen to the songs we used to listen to in the car while i drive but at least i'm driving and when i lay in my girlfriend's arms i get scared of how vulnerable i'm being but at least i don't have a wall up and i still hurt myself in more ways than one but at least it's not as bad as it was and i still see your face when i look in the mirror but at least i have individuality and i'm molding myself to be better than you and i still think about the night that i was assaulted in your home, and i know you heard me scream "NO, NO, NO" but at least i still have respect for myself and i still ponder on the thought of ending my life whenever i remember you handing me your pocket knife but at least i'm still alive and i still think about when you said i'd never have friends and i'd be all alone once i was dead but at least i make a social effort while you don't speak to your children and granted i don't make an effort to speak to you but it's because you are wrong in every thing you say and in every thing you do you are wrong in the way that you laid your hands on me or in the way that you watched as so many others did you are wrong in that i am alone because i am not you are wrong in that i'll never find happiness because for once in my miserable life i realize when the sun is shining and the birds are chirping you are wrong when you say that i'm going to hell for loving because right now i feel like i'm in heaven you are wrong when you say that no one will ever love me like you because i now know that a father doesn't treat me like you but at least... i know you are wrong and that is all of the gratification that i need to be done with you and this letter so i sign this saying, you are wrong, but at least... i am strong. - Maxine

Haunted by hate of your president, you froth as you rage like a demon; setting a dangerous precedent urged on by the likes of Don Lemon. Your sinister soul is now evident and the hatred you spew is obscene. You have swilled, with the thirst of a malcontent vicious words from the well of Maxine. You're possessed now by hate of your president, while the minions are taken to task; you dismiss every mob as a non-event— but we see you behind the dark mask.

T.D.S. Masquerade
I don't have much to offer, no money in the bank, Barely have enough to put gas inside my tank. Seems every time I gather, a 'savings' in some way, Something always happens to take it all away. I don't drive a fancy car, it would not turn your head, It’s only a rollscanhardly no further words need said. Seems every time I drive it, another piece falls off, And every time I start it, it sputters and it coughs. Seems every time I make a move, I get rid of more and more, The things I don't want to carry with me through the next door. But this I say while traveling light these things I don't desire, For excess money will only serve to fan the demon fire, The place in which I lay my head, is with Maxine my wife. She creates more than I can say and brightens up my life. It's not all of the treasures that you build upon this earth, That brings a person happiness, and feelings of self-worth. It's living life the simple way and helping when you can, Do what you can for others, be it woman or a man, Share what you have inside you, be gentle and be kind, Heal a heart that's broken, and I guarantee you’ll find. The simple things in life are free, and love comes without a cost, Don't build up treasures on this earth, where souls get trapped and lost, Do what you can for all you can, with all you have to give, From where you are inside yourself, allow your HEART and SOUL to live!

My Life
How I feel right now doesn’t matter. ‘Cause I’ll say I’m ok. Yet still I’m wondering why do you love me? It feels... I feel so out of place. I know you’re looking for answers lovie But I don’t know what to say to you. I’m holding, dearly, my bad emotions. Last night in the shore we killed that scene. Whatever I was feeling it. Now my alarm clock wakes from the dream And reality’s back, I gotta deal with it. All of these strangers became new friends. New stories wrote with old pens. Same picture seen with a new lens. But that was only for the weekend. Drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones. I just can’t remember how the night begun. Order up, I don’t know from where these drinks came, But I know that I remember those strippers by their real names. Jody? Maxine? It’s all the same, they were pawns in my fantasy. Damn….did I say that? I’m just lost and I’m tryna find my way back. But instead I found my way into your bed Now I’m thinking about everything you whispered in my head like “I been searching for you my whole life.” “I think I wanna be your wife.” And none of that even computes. I can’t imagine me settling down, laying the roots. I gotta slip out of here before You wake up and read the note I left on your drawer. ‘Cause I know you’ll be full of questions And I’ll have to be real and give you my confession That I know you’re looking for answers lovie But I don’t know what to say to you. I’m holding, dearly, my bad emotions.

There were twenty women and fourteen men From the wreck on that tiny spit, Lost in that mighty ocean, just a Mile was the most of it, There were pigs galore from a previous crew Who’d been wrecked some years before, And plenty of veg, they fished from a ledge Jutting out, and over the shore. So in time the fourteen had paired them off And it left, forlorn, the six, There wasn’t a single partner left For the girls to scratch their itch, So they huddled up and began to plot How to thin out the ranks of those Who took up the men that were meant for them, They started by shedding their clothes. There were naked ******* that they thought would test The men in the rival camp, Would lure them off in the undergrowth To lie where the earth was damp, And it worked for some, though the men returned To the partners they chose before, ‘The only way that they’re going to stay,’ Said the six, ‘is to go to war.’ Charmaine was found in a grove of trees With her face, all covered in blood, And Derek didn’t seem too displeased He latched onto Maxine Flood, But the thirteen said, her blood was red, And they looked askance at the five, ‘We need to arm, and raise the alarm If we’re going to stay alive.’ But a dozen died in the camp that night, The soup had given them cramps, Eleven woman had taken flight And the one old man, called Gramps, That left a surplus of thirteen men And the women numbered seven, ‘There’s not enough to go round,’ they said, But the women were in heaven. The six bereft of the men were left To mumble and scheme and plot, ‘We need to **** at least six of them, Whether we want, or not!’ So late at night in the pale moonlight There were shadows abroad in the trees, And before the dawn, the six had gone, Beaten down to their knees. There were six and six, you would think it fixed, In a year they’d be in hell, For two of the girls lay down, were nixed Gave birth, in a winter spell, The men denied said they had their pride And attacked their mates of yore. But somehow managed to **** all three, So now there were three and four. ‘We’ll keep the fourth in reserve,’ they said, ‘In case of a sudden death,’ But Maxine Flood was in no such mood Though she sat, and she held her breath, They made her fish and they made her cook While she worked upon her wish, And when just one of the men was gone She fed them puffer fish. ‘Now there’s only you, and there’s only me,’ She called, when he wandered back, Staggering into the camp, he said, ‘I’ve been in a shark attack!’ His arm was missing, he bled right out, And died in front of her eyes, While Maxine Flood had rolled in his blood And cried to the empty skies.

You sit in a chair opposite The psychiatrist; he sits Forward, his hands in prayer Mode, his chin resting there, His eyes focusing on you. When can I leave? You ask. Once you are well, Maxine. I am well, you reply, leaning Forward, I want out of this Madhouse. The psychiatrist Leans back taking his hands With him. We need to find What made you do things, He says. Do things? What Things? Suicide attempts, He says calmly, slit wrists, Overdose. You stare at him, Take in his baldness, his thick Lenses glasses. What do you Know of things, you mutter. States of mind are states of Mind…you shrinks always Have to search for meanings Behind things. There is a pause. He looks at you; you can sense His eyes trying to feel their Way inside your brain. You Look away around the room. Certificates on the walls, his Probably. Photographs on his Desk; family, kids, wife, smiling. Comfortable. Bourgeoisie. We do get well, Maxine. Takes Time, but they do it, he says softly. You look at his lips moving; think Lips. You wonder what his wife Feels when those touch hers. You have made some progress, He says, I’ve seen elements of You making positive moves Forward. Medication helps. You notice he has a gold tooth, It seems to glitter in the light. However, we need to find the Casual factors, Maxine, he states, Leaning forward again, his hand Picking up a pen, twisting it. He has hairs in his nose, a few Protrude. Why you tried to slit Your wrists or tried to OD. Did I? Your voice says. Me? There is Dandruff on his dark coat. Snow like. Your neighbour Found you, he says, holding The pen in both hands. She was Most concerned. I hope so, your Voice mutters. You stare at the Photograph of his family; his wife Has a sickly smile. Your mother Smiled liked that, you remember, When she strangled your pet cat.

STATES OF MIND. (OLD POEM)
You sit in a chair opposite The psychiatrist; he sits Forward, his hands in prayer Mode, his chin resting there, His eyes focusing on you. When can I leave? You ask. Once you are well, Maxine.

My first memory, Our dog, Maxine Trying to jump up on to my changing table. She couldn’t breathe, She was laughing so hard. It was Take your daughter to work day. She got to peer from the side of a Skyscraper And imagine what all the people were doing And imagine Herself grown up And doing important things too. Her parents were split up But when She turned eight they spent the day together. They went to the restaurant She liked and Visited the Smithsonian. They all laughed at dumb jokes And She went to bed feeling warm. When She was in Middle School She didn’t like her parents anymore. She went to a sleepover with strangers And watched Titanic and made a friend. It felt like how the teenagers must have felt In the movies. Before She left She felt like a kid again. Not the same, but with the same potential, Peering ahead at life’s possibilities. She got drunk with Her friends and Laughed and recounted all of the Beautiful nights. I sit and I try to remember All of the times I was happy. Then I feel all of the weight Of my entire history The past that is gone And the future I can’t achieve Plundering like sand through my hands. How dare she be allowed to laugh?
