"memorandum" poems
And so as a man, a job,
a cactus wearing a business suit sharing relations with the hydrant down the street.
A ***** strapped to a baby carriage with plastic baggie cellphones
yelling "run away now"
to the grass at his feet.
A man devoid of water, rather.
These are the times
A well, emptied.
Rather death
find waves of spilled milk and
all the fat people, skinny.
A dry mouth desert, kneeling
In either breath of a living feeling
or the one that talks of so much
for only the wealth of his screaming.
Some tiny furniture talked all night about running through wheat,
ebbing and flowing against the end tables,
then falling short as crumbling tree leaves.
An ottoman as recycle bin holding stem
from stem of watermelon children
and vine-ripened acetaminophen.
Some odd truth told the blowing wind that
God does cartwheels with Lucifer at random.
It then billowed out about
his ***** underwear and holy fodder for memorandum.
I would say a man, a vision,
A little girl using a GPS to calculate the distance from the rest her teething.
Instead, she found a funny barbeque ***** playing hog-tied pharmaceutical reps into neoprene
mud-flapping pigeons.
I would say the sinking plastic six-pack islands revealing trash limbs,
sunken,
honest,
grim.
Life, itself, must move in tandem to only fleeting geese.
Though in plan, the artisan-picking fruit of word must be depicted.
Live in sin and ignorance much like the
breaking news walking on broken record.
And so as a man; a fear.
He looked down, staring at no one
with bare feet and shaken, coconut flavored palm trees.

Snow Melt
Long winter snow gives way to warming sun
a slow melt as temperatures struggle upward
weak sun nudges in some heat
as car and driver head to work
still bundled up, eager for Springtime.
Cars nervously round the curves
black ice, a dark shadow on the black tarmac
the banked snow recedes
revealing the yesterday’s of nature
frozen tree branches, a wind’s detritus
become exposed
a couple of crosses
left in memorandum
for teens driving too fast
killed in their prime
party time brought to an abrupt end
a family ripped apart
possibly never to recover.
Snow finally gone, melted
ice hard brittle molecules,
soften to be swept away
taken to the rivers and on to the sea
crosses bare, await new flowers
to be quietly tended
a mother’s grieving continued
snow melt in your heart
see the crosses of the past
and let them go
washed away with the snow and slush
cold hearted no more.

Sail
Over your thoughts of me
Follow the trail
Swim until you’re free
Carved Marble
Shaped by the water’s stress
You choked, garbled
When I took off my dress
With salty fingertips
You stood at the shore
Your eyes traced my hips
Cool water licked your feet, you swore
I laughed & laughed

Tender,
Kind hearted maiden,
Wanting to die, dying to live!
Scorched in the abyss of fallen angels,
Star spangled!!
Simplistic treasure,
Lying amongst the feathers,
Where her pillow is made by tears,
Come near!!!
Lavished in garb,
Cloaked by charm,
For men are your downfall,
Foreign dream, ancient queen
Of after hours channels!!
Media shall ban you,
Pull through uncurrupt,
Maker of bluff,
And rainbow intuition!!
Pius of stitches!!
Memorandum you are,
As courthouse judges will shun you,
Glutton movies punish you,
As you were not made for this world!!!
Lost treasure, lost pearl!!

Scintillating stars infinitely descend
Lambent soot embellishes the radius
Regimens purely exist to bend
Scintillating stars infinitely descend
An occult memorandum impends
Doctrines make not amends
Scintillating stars infinitely descend
Lambent soot embellishes the radius

habituated within the confines of woe
accompanied yet felt lonesome,
the mere must sets forth tomorrow,
my memorandum is no hokum.
there was more than meets the eye,
but any has felt, not just I,
dispatches of melancholy comply,
for must I say goodbye
-- for now...
seek wholesome where it was borne,
restoration is the new.
nay mourn, nor fret, nor pout
and shall come back, subdue.

TO: All who toss & turn
FROM: Insomnia
DATE: 12/30/2013
SUBJECT: What crosses your mind?
Late at night, what crosses your mind?
As you lay down to rest
And your mind overflows in darkness
What thoughts or worries come through?
Does your heart rejoice with thankfulness?
Is damage the phrase that doesn't let you rest?
What is it that makes you toss and turn like a wave?
Do you think about what you left behind?
Late at night, what crosses your mind?
Do you worry about what's ahead?
Do you worry about what’s aside?
Do you have any regrets?
Perhaps, you have not realize your own pain
Which causes you to toss and turn like a wave
Next time you toss & turn
Don’t hesitate to ask yourself
Why?
What makes me toss & turn?
"If you haven't lost what you have embrace it."

before we dive into sulphur
before we slash our wrists
let's pretend we gave a ****
let's pretend we gave a ****
'cause we're heading toward failure
we bequeathed our children
and snake pits
we left our fathers
but just one last time, for old time's sake
let's embrace
and forget we were ever here.

after four decades of protracted debate
as to where to locate a second airport
our federal government has finally made a decision
to go ahead with the construction of the airport
they've not been overly speedy
in their deliberations on the matter
all the public has ever heard
is an endless stream of chatter
now the memorandum of understanding
for its location has been signed off
we the citizens of New South Wales
can't wait for a jet plane to take off
the existing airport terminal is becoming
more and more congested by the day
and a second airport facility
will sweep all the clogging away
we're mightily pleased that the government
have got moving on the airports location
now the flying public of our state
shall afford them a rousing ovation

I immortalized
all of yourself
&
all of me in pen, in ink,
bled it all into the digital machine’s
white screen
there’s snow on the ground
endless stark white
the twinkling dying gleam of Christmas lights on my lawn
somewhere your lawn is bereft.
somewhere your everything is bereft too.
There is the feel of your fingers
on my heated skin
Your palms cupping my face
On either side of my cheek
There is the flecks of dust motes
Settling on my eyelashes
The blotches of night
Melting all around us
Your blanket a backdrop of linen on the canvas
of your king-sized bed
There’s the distant blaring of sirens
Police cars speeding down the street
There’s the insistent howling and
S
h
a
r
p
d
I
s
s
o N
A
NT
bark of your dog
–
There is your voice
Gentle in the newness of the night
“You’re so pretty, you know that?”
Rhetorical
Two years
and here we are
It’s the same book, darling
The same story
The same tragic end
There is me: the girl on her pills
There is you: the man-boy who wants so desperately to love
All we have is the trappings of body heat
Our flesh
Your fingertips turning me to ash
Reviving the flame around my body
Only to burn me all over again
All I have are the seemingly endless poems
Your soul
Your smile
The brightness of your hazel eyes
Trapped in the words
F
or
ever
more
This
These words
All for you
I immortalized all of yourself
&all of me in pen, in ink
And then in blood
Sealed it in this digital machine
Sealed it in this dark ritual
Emptied it along with the last pill bottle
The girl who takes pills no longer
The man-boy still
searching
in the peat-darkness, the bright sky of stars,
for love
In memorandum

I'll make a memorandum
Out of my paper heart
An effervescent manifold
It's all together too thin
I'll make a memorandum
To remind me that tantalizing
Beings reside among all pages
And that they are all extremely
Tangible

*choc bulimic in Edinburgh; the Welsh index and middle finger tactic,
that way a dozen models were ******* out to mind an economy.*
the next cards you'll pull from the packet
are all jokers - i.e. wild-cards -
western society begot laziness
that begot psychiatry that begot
war on terror - that somehow begot
war on terror, that didn't begot
philosophy, but it did begot crosswords -
as a Frau will testify, aged 91,
prompted-by-excuse-by-her-age:
doing the pensioner's bit: a Koepcke (1928 - 1977)
(i bet you wish it was K'oh eh pck'e'; ya?!
oder Andreas Köpke? nicht wie?),
VANDAL GRAND-GRANNY COMPLETES
A CROSSWORD - a thousand chandeliers
with a a hundred grand pianos crashed with Newton's
apple that day - the day was advertised state memorandum -
Hanzel and Gretyl came along for the sweets parade
expecting salutes in Swedish - contra beetroot -
some said agitations from the blues, some said
agitations from the beets - or so rooted -
agriculturally purple blooded, minor urban dwellers
sniffed out the cabbage-heads -
major urban dwellers sniffed their own **** out -
beginning with St. Petersburg and Cairo -
contra former violence? *sprechen zungefeinde,
zumal falschsprechen*.

western society has, what we call
an ambitious existentialism -
eastern society has, what we call
the expected existentialism -
oh, apologies for the big word,
i know how smart you are
having books for doorstops
with whiffs of the northern wind sometimes
pooping by a hello... but honestly,
the west is so ambitious and the east
so unambitious that we have
a billion Chinese and about a billion
variations of a McDonald's original advert
of: mm... i'm turkey minded to gulp
that **** in!
and stitched up like a diabetic on a diet!
hanky-tango-two-times of
a sneezing donkey's giddy-up toward Golgotha
sounds almost the same.
are you here for the touristy memorandum
hanging on your neck? me too,
i was about to jeopardise two thousand years
of human history with it, imagine! imagine
what an idiot i'd be if i'd actually gone along
with it!

Beware, I'm writing this message to you.
In this memorandum, you'll find the way I feel about you.
At a certain point of time.
You'll be invited to a certain place for lunch.
You be required to be on time.
But knowning the way I feel.
I need you as soon as possible.
This is in my memo.
It just won't end there.
I have a lot of surprises for you.
And some of them can't be written in my memo.
Somethings just needs to remain private.
Just between us two.

i wouldn't believe scientific opinions
given that they're into
the same Las Vegas antics
with the pharmaceutical
economics as any other
industry... why is
secular society attentive on
keeping scientists holy?
they're the same ******** that
once wore dog collars...
i almost became one, i should
know, about how brushing your
teeth is neutral with a *** sized
dollop of the paste and ~30 seconds
of contact - i get it, i won't have a memorandum
to noose me into gagging a circa 2015...
i'm just surprised that Darwinism is still pop
culture and that no one is bored of it...
me? i'm ******* bored of it.
fair enough, god is dead... but it ended up
being a hot topic to burn off fat,
dietary requirements, pentagon of fructose a day;
can you be more agonising with talk
than an iron maiden clench? i guess you can.

I choose one man hath not marked, a
Prolific being in attire,
A woman of fire and dying spirit,
As me I request!!!
No stricture must I needeth,
Just one that speaketh of ages own wisdom,
A memorandum in finer detail!
Imprisoned in daisies and ale!!!!
A conundrum prize I want to unravel,
As she figures out mine best parts,
Ourn surgeon's to place our hearts,
Side by side in sterile concentration!!!
Nothing disinterested, just mavericks of axiom lax,
Where are bones make maps to lead us to the undiscovered!!!
A father to make a mother,
With child doest I seek!!!
For can I only speak?
For me that is...
Hopeless romantic art thou dead?
To the world's devilish charm,
For you've been tractable Soo far,
Yet nothing's changed!!!
Break mine chains,
Fecund capricious,
I'll accolade thy nitches,
As a seal of promise would I splendor!!!
I do not wanteth one to brook me,
But to shake me to this lowly downed core,
To feel her in every pour,
As erudites we shall shape shift!!!!
Evanescent I've found is reality!!!!

No I'm not appointing blame,
My origins will never change,
But what was there for an eight year old to do.
I never felt wanted again after I was born,
There was a huge void in my spirit
My dad married and it seemed like he forgot about me,
I felt like I was scorn.
I was never helped with homework;
I became a novice
Never understood Maths, English or any prerequisites.
A mistake.
Yeah I get it.
But at least don't treat me like it.... Please.
My teacher (God rest her soul) took me under her wing,
Helped me with maths,religious education and English.
I slowly understood what I was missing:
Love, joy, sympathy and a family.
This quickly ended when she died though,
And that void came back.
I never saw my dad.
I might have slowly forgotten his features.
But that didn't bother me I was only ten by then,
And I was coming into myself:
I suffered depression and insecurities.
Many a day I would bury my head in a book
Not because I wanted to,
But because I wanted to make myself scarce so I could escape the hardships of my dysfunctional family.
Maybe reading was a good thing,
I reassured myself as I read through the encyclopedias in my small library;
Deciding that I'll read my problems away.
Mom was never around,
And daddy had a new family.
I'll just read the problems away.
I felt unwanted.
Mummy started going out every night,
At this time I had a five year old sister;
Of course mom hardly spent time with her.
I babysat her while missing homework assignments I never got helped with.
Because mummy went out every night.
Sometimes she came home
Sometimes she didnt
A fire kindled in my spirit made of anger
How could a mother do this to her young daughters.

Ye have writen to mine heart
a memorandum in gold and blood
ancient revered venerable Angel beloved.
These withered red roses
bloom again E.T. divine.
Gold hearted Thermo King
wing mine
Revolving door fly by
patient ancient Lancelot
Knight commenting;
acertaining
Ye shifted to one better human by mine story poems
consigned to thee and the four wise winds.
Myself regaining sanity
yet sighing madness despair
revealing mine heart to thee
Ye agreed I've got more than wisdom owning truth in mine ink revealed
Ye've delighted reading mine scribble as thine beloved pet
to run hands on mine kitty fur
all as truth in thine mind's eye,
and yeah ye're dearly aroused
as ye cry me a river.
Privileged is thine life partner!
relished recipient of thine better change.
While still mine vessel soul is unresolved shunned
destitute forlorned bleeding
crying thee an ocean for thine river wept hush-hush.
I sigh all night til morn,
Mine nucleous inner core pains for thee waiting too long to offer small charity shielding
before mine bereavement
quietus curtains end.
Even dogs eating of thine table's crumbs lived, thus surely can "i."
I adolize delighting in thee taking heed thine steps quickening
fast lifting wing and landing
onto mine heart's chambers
longing to see thine will
break free rescuing me-cpr
mine wrecked ketch cursed existence empty forsake me not
and shelter me please.

Way up to reconcilliation so steep,
Memorandum of understanding so creep,
Shortage of fuel in our reserves no beep,
Political promises in abundance they cant
keep,
Yet the pain in our hearts so so deep!! With no complains daily meals we skip,
Economic status swallowed by recession
lip,
hefty and handsome rewards given to
zealous supporters as tip,
public treasuries in coffers depleted in form of expensive trip,
Yet the pain in our hearts so so deep!! Yet the pain in our hearts so so deep,
God's succor, alleviates our pains,
Imbeciles at the helm of power with no
brains,
Hideous thoughts full of personal gains,
Yet the pain in our hearts so so deep!!

dream of the princess made reality
The spooky little man who offers, dreams
at a cost the princess never weighed up
cost her soul, skin, bones and blood

that there be no memorandum and that's, with ~one word:
enough said -
enough to say
Maurice Jarre; and the kept heart;
autumnal bearers of
the Griffin mould of brown and
quarter orange -
so i too might remember...
that beckon of the south....
at last in rhapsody
to the one remembered as having the attention span....
and the Shakespearean puncture -
well...
had we been so loved up with learning
as Ancient Arabs were with Aristotle....
10th century revision acquired demand -
i too would make a joke concerning
the black gold of the Saudis...
being spent on joking around the totality
of human affairs... and when the Koran was necessary
the Saudis simply quoted their newly established
Kabul of unorthodox idea -
parallel to Mecca -
minding the failure of:
fill 'em up, meaning they'll be fulfilled;
who gives a **** if the Arabs read Aristotle pristine
in the 10th century, they're hardly the ones to
speak a "saving the planet" speech these days...
they could have read Aristotle perfectly in the 10th
century... but when it comes to readers' digest:
they're basically not clued in...
given it's the 21st century...
i'm blaming all that spending potential...
all that spending potential
on Arab sycophancy, elaborated;
cos', after all, it's just cheese: mozzarella elongation
and a tribute to the moustache.

For once I feel illuminated, liberated, iridescent.
I sense my low, dejected spirits have
Finally succumbed to the jocular nature
Which resides in my psyche.
Hateful sentiments float away
As black bubbles of negative memorandum
Of weeks quondam and unremembered.
A release comes through clockwork.
After the initial shock it hurt like hell itself
Picked me up in its spindly, flaming fingers
And flung my wretched subconscious
Through eight staggering blades of betrayal
“Et tu, Brute?”
For weeks I have picked up my shattered gasps
Tears ultimately cease, and I inhale
The crisp October breeze.
