"meteor" poems
Silicate, emotionless sedimentary, Darling, it is cold, doesn't care wheter it breaks or if it is swept away in a stream, cut into small pieces by the sharp rush of flowing water, While it may hold no emotions, it can be the bringer of hope, bliss, happiness, sadness but also spite and envy, or a simple fulfilment, Look at the wedding-rings, their stones on top to embellish beauty such as the insurance to be with the other through thick and thin, Some diamonds are rough, but they are stronger than stones, if that is enough, harder and almost unbreakable, sorted in line moliculary, When the kiss of death puts us to rest, a tombstone is the sad, cruel remembrence of a former life, sprouting blossoming and blooming, before returning to the soil it once had found its origin, its beginning, I will try to be your wishing one, your shooting star, racing through the glory of the starlit nightsky to catch a moment of your passion, Burning up within the atmosphere of your warm embrace, dearest. Drawn by your gravitational impact on me, I will be your comet, returning to you each day without burning away as rapid as a meteor. Darling, alike a blazing Sun you make me melt. ~ Umi

I whatsapped you through my nokia And is it your existence I crave? Or does my mind order What is beyond the border Unseen like the little light bulps in the sky I whatsapped you through my nokia And is it your fingertips I need? Spending minutes on Semantic and hours on our news feed And high lights of our day See my days are all the same I ask myself questions and I find answers In the shape of instant messages Vibrating through my phone; And as if it’s exhaling some deadly poison It rings and rings and rings and rings and rings and rings and stops… I whatsapped you through my nokia Asking you “you there?” But you never answered Because your iphone cannot show any whatsapp notifications Coming from hopeless thinkers trying to figure out the typed mysteries of life…. Because your blackberry Is too black to turn into a satisfactory vision Of what your future should be; Because your android Is practically messy And willingly complex Like meteor showers hitting your phone Every time the truth vibrates In the shape of unanswered questions For the answers are there… But our phones are so smart they hide it; I wahtsapped you through my nokia Asking myself Is my nokia a primitive technology? A shameful scar on the scale of science Like syringes ******* all the blood from the unstoppable sweet rush of statistical knowledge I whatsapped you through my nokia…and all this comes out Is it me being silly, or us being shallow? Please do not whatsapp me the answer For am tired of green screens And boxed spaces I need clean streams Of fine faces And eyes that glimmer Rather than phones that shiver… I shall remind my phone To remind me That I don’t need it anymore…

The "Whatsapp" Paradox:

This distance between you and me, Feels like it's half a world and it just might be. Wherever you are, or ever might go Know that I'm still waiting for you. Waiting to hold your hand in mine, Embrace your sweet skin in my arms. I wait for the day. Beyond the frosted glass there you are, Touch you I could not, If I called you couldn't hear. With no visible way of interaction, Hope is lost for an ever after, And my heart overweight. I wait for the day. Keep looking forward to the day we meet For the light in our eyes shall brighten the sky again, Move on forward and destiny might plan the day When both our paths entwine and merge Oh glorious day that day will be. Forever and ever after might be written on my sheet. I'll definitely wait for that day. I'll patiently wait for that day When we can indulge in our time, Go through life together like a game By earning achievements and ranks. Grow old together and gross our kin With the passion and love we share. Oh how I keep waiting for the day. When I see you out in the distance Dashing as anyone could be Not long now until we meet And say hello and I'd love to spend my time with you, Laugh and cuddle together under the mellow moon, Watch the meteor shower and end the night with a kiss. I've been waiting for the day. Lights go out and the day turns into night. A hint of light coming from a corner The curtains open and unveil I'm all alone in the moonlit night, Thinking about the days I lie waiting for you.

Waiting
*I Fell In Love With You I fell in love with you slowly, syllable by syllable, word by word, poem by poem imagining the moon’s dancing affair with stars, twinkle by twinkle. And then all at once like the explosion of a super nova affecting distant galaxies and down to my very soul. ~~~ I fell in love with you gently, the way a dew drop glistens in the morning sun, the way a flower often opens to a moonlit song. ~~~ But like all love worth holding, it turns to fire- raging, uncontrolled, wild and consuming; you have become the flames dancing across my skin, smoldering brightly within my heart turning me into the sweet smell of ash. ~~~ I fell in love with you slowly then quickly, the way a meteor flashes as it skims across the night sky or hearts melt within an ******** sigh. I fell in love with you. Sorry. Aztec Warrior 12.4.15*

POEM 99
I just want to write a poem no one ever thought of writing It must have the same effects as walking on the moon It must trend faster than a meteor as it hurdles through cyber space I refused to love any man, who dislikes my poetry, My man must support my passion .. not only the warmth of my body but the passion within this poetess, my secretive mind he must be able to balance: Without wondering why a woman like me is so naturally secretive I am always embracing the dark side of my creativity Dropping little hints here and there throughout the years, Sidney   J. Harris once said something that left pondering thoughts He said “When he hears somebody sighs, 'Life is hard,' he’s always tempted to ask them, 'Compared to what?' I would simply say dog-gone it: Compared to struggling poets whose tries to make a living as a writer While an upcoming rapper like Chief Keef signed a several-million dollar deal with offending lyrics in today music industries: I just want to write a poem no one ever thought of writing, With lots of intense emotion bursting through each line: Because a poem can’t exist without a poet's multiple voices and most of all his divine missions

I Just Want To Write A Poem That Blinks
I've never been able to get good sleep. My eyes darker than black holes, I spiral down. I try to clamber up, but I'm in way too deep. Daydreaming at night. The loss of myself, but very aware of my state of mind. Release is only found within the sunrise. Every night I stumble on the moon. I jump star to meteor, hoping gravity pulls me into the space between. Maybe then I can get some real good sleep. History book worthy battles, I wonder who will be the victor. Love or loath; a sword drawn to my heart. Arms apart, head thrown back. I'm not even entirely sure what part of me I'm killing, I'm just praying for relief, I just want some sleep. I was sick of the suffering, autopilot is my new definition of personality. Memories have turned into sadistic nightmares. Let me free myself from this close eyed, open mind torture. I cant even stand to walk around my own mind, silence is full of beasts I have yet to slay.     I'd rather hide in the wounded parts of me, call myself a survivor. A survivor of nothing out of the ordinary.

i. "Why did the number of parking tickets spike when Persephone was carried off to the underworld? Demeter wasn't working." She liked greek mythology puns. It was a good thing I was creative. ii. Truth or Dare, I asked her what was the best decision she's ever made. she answered with, "In 7th grade I named my puppy Achilles, so when I saw him I could say, 'Achilles, heel!'" iii. It took me two weeks to realise that when we held hands, I wasn't really holding her hand, but a chainsaw, ready to slash through anything that stood in our way like Hercules chopping off the Hydra's head. I was immortal. iv. August eleventh; 9 PM we watched for the meteor shower. I connected the freckles splayed upon her knee, told her they looked like the constellation of Cassiopeia. "Be Sirius" she jested. v. She had a bad habit of smoking at the beach and I Wondered if she knew that with every single flick of ash into the water, Poseidon was cursing her to the River Styx. vi. Headaches visited her often, I joked that maybe she was getting ready to birth a Goddess from her cranium. She did not find it clever. vii. You could say we became like Aphrodite and Hephaestus. I, longing for her. She, lusting after another. A synonym for her headaches would be me. viii. Apparently if you hack off a Hydra head, two would grow to replace it. Knowing this sooner probably would have saved me from numerous amounts of Kleenex and chocolate. ix. She left me a note on the dresser, "Fun fact: Medusa's favourite cheese was Gorgon-zola. PS - you remind me of Medusa, please remember to brush your hair." She reminds of Medusa as well, I do not doubt that if we meet again, her eyes would still turn me into stone.

1466 One of the ones that Midas touched Who failed to touch us all Was that confiding Prodigal The reeling Oriole— So drunk he disavows it With badinage divine— So dazzling we mistake him For an alighting Mine— A Pleader—a Dissembler— An Epicure—a Thief— Betimes an Oratorio— An Ecstasy in chief— The Jesuit of Orchards He cheats as he enchants Of an entire Attar For his decamping wants— The splendor of a Burmah The Meteor of Birds, Departing like a Pageant Of Ballads and of Bards— I never thought that Jason sought For any Golden Fleece But then I am a rural man With thoughts that make for Peace— But if there were a Jason, Tradition bear with me Behold his lost Aggrandizement Upon the Apple Tree—

One of the ones that Midas touched
She was a raging inferno, Touch her and perish, A roaring inferno, Burns your soul to ashes. As she raged against the dying light, Crazy, I craved only for her, Praying she would go gentle in the night, My eyes blazed for her like a meteor. Within me, her anger raised sensual  emotions, With my gentle love, I desired to tame her, That was my firm resolution, And one day,on her lava soil would bloom our little flower.

Roaring Volcano
Upon the loss of the dinosaurs, so plentiful, Back in the land before time when life wasn’t so dull, Tall trees, blue skies, green grasses, deep dark water, Nature as it was meant to be, with volcanoes that couldn’t be hotter. This was the world you lived in before it came to an end. A meteor? A flood? Maybe. But obviously it was something you could not mend. Velociraptor, T-Rex, Triceratops, you’re all gone. A species once so valiant, nobody stood in their way, not one. Shaping some of the animals we have today, dinosaurs are like, square one. From a 40ft menace to a lone iguana, isn’t evolution fun? The highlight of the prehistoric era, If you think I’m awkward because of my enthusiasm for dinos, then call me Michael Cera. Like a bad ending to a good movie, Your demise was something that nobody wanted to see. The world would be a better place with a dinosaur here and there. Some people wouldn’t be a fan, but does it sound like I care? I think every single dinosaur is badass, Even the herbivores that only eat grass. If you’re the type of person that’s glad dinosaurs are dead, Then I wish it was YOU that was hit by the meteor instead.

dinosaur sonnet pt. 2
we heard them talking about a meteor shower expected later that night highly anticipated set to accompany the rust red supermoon that we caught following us home lay down upon blankets a meagre effort to provide at least a little comfort while we witnessed this astral magnificence the significanceof which none of us was certain childishly imagining a spectacle from the dazzling of shooting stars trailing tails like fireworks pointing in wonder appearing briefly before burning out instead we found ourselves staring up at one of those countless spots of white slowly unenthusiastically drifting across the stratosphere it could be a meteor maybe just an aeroplane or simply a twinkling trick of the light yet still we watched without excitement without direction without relevance

meteor shower
I WOULD that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea! We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee; And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky, Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die. A weariness comes from those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose; Ah, dream not of them, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes, Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew: For I would we were changed to white birds on the wandering foam: I and you! I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore, Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more; Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be, Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!

The White Birds
Here come Jupiter child, You can hear the flowers crying as they plead for her to stay a while, She just collided with and intergalactic asteroid, But things were only created never destroyed, In the dark cool tunnels she found some pretty moon shrooms, sheltering growing seahorses wrapped in loose water droplet cocoons, Now towards earth you hear her come, Within the clouds she beats her tribal drums, The ocean sways and swells to the time of her rhythm and sound, Reaching deep into the sea forest to whales traveling homebound, She wears stars framed in turquoise, Like the kokopelli she gives birth to planets with grace and poise, Here comes Jupiter child, dread locks wound with comets, extracts from the universe, she mixes matter-less tonics, Recipes rooted deep in wizardry, she borrows knowledge from indians and aztecs to cure all misery, Her meteor showers made of her salty tears, Are earth's dream catcher, snaring all nighttime fears.

i. Mine admiration for her Daily doth beam; Hour's passeth by, with meteor shower's aloft the Sky's I'll awaiteth a million year's for mine queen. ii. In mine sleep, betwixt mine dream's No ado shalt get in between, none evil, nor fiend's; Laughter and light, in struck night's, angel polite Amour in flight, wherein all is right, crystal gleamed. iii. I'll dye the scene, a daffodil coloration I'll be here mine sweet, I'm not leaving, I'm patient; On other planet's, or nation's, wherever I shalt be I promise mine lass, mine half, I'll be waiting for thee. ©Brandon nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl jane nagley dedication ( Filipino rose)

You won't recognize them I bet, your secrets, even in broad day light, if they walk towards you smiling, wearing dark glasses to hide their eyes in a humid day.They now wear clothes of different styles to take you for a ride, even cross dress and change the accents, they play games with your hazy mind --the secrets you once buried deep under. They stand peeping behind blinded windows prowl as shadows soliciting behind half open doors,. Time flies in a hurry like migratory birds left behind, you have to strain your ears too much to hear even the faint foot falls of the past! Old memories have changed their manners they try to distract one with invented details Like the muffled voices in an attic dark, on a fateful day so long, your old secrets speak an archaic tongue, that needs to be interpreted. One has to be artful as the turbaned village elders who would for your astonishment interpret the vocabulary of lizard calls, key to nature's intents. Or the trained eye of an elder who in flashes of meteor falls, reads the secret messages of universe. To get a true sense of your own secret you have to tread the places they hide. Make them shed their crusted hides by which they conceal their true color, which one has been waiting to see, with a palpitating heart, walking back to where one walked once, long forgotten. That is why elders on days of yore would exhort, embarrassingly repeat too, not to have any hidden secrets that hurt even if breathtakingly beautiful like a courtesan. In some moment one won't  expect dreadful they could turn and become witches, with fiery eyes, dreadlocks, and long nails.

I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon, And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon; There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue: I need a sky companion and I want it to be you. We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up above, I’ll cover you in rainbows as we feel each others’ love; You’ll shower in the stars at midnight in our special place, I’ll dry you with a comet’s tail and kiss your beaming face. Dreamy drifting panorama, changing every day, Every night your loving smile will be my milky way, The moon will wane before us, sailing there in heaven’s height, For nothing else can challenge our love’s everlasting light. Venus shining on us, glowing soft at our devotion, Our daily drifting dalliance in love’s celestial ocean, I’ll write you lovers’ poetry, and you will be my muse, Orion and Andromeda will oversee our cruise. We’ll sleep with clouds as pillows, maybe steal an angel’s wings, Then fly as magic lovebirds, or slide round Saturn’s rings, And should we tire of drifting and the stars all floating by, We’ll hook onto a meteor and soar across the sky. Will you consent to be my mate on our celestial ship? I’m ready, heart all packed with love, to last us for the trip, Take my hand and step aboard, we’re heading for the sun, We’re flying till we find the place where our two souls are one.

Hot Air Ballons
Your face, the moon not unlike craters, the mark the scar the fierce reminder that there was impact and after the fact, a surge of dust that left me. Clean and free, feeling better, like I could survive another meteor shot to **** my heart’s desire.

Mending old wounds and similes (as a professional courtesy)
I feel the blood of slaves as I cut my wrists with diamond blades. I bleed for them as they bleed for your earrings.   Your wedding rings.  Your pointless things. That platinum chain that hangs down to your waist encrusted with ice; I hope it gets caught in your oversized rims while you're hanging your head out the window Trying to spit some game at a pair of graceful underage prostitutes.   I hope it cuts your ******* head off right then and there. And in that moment when the diamonds scatter across the pavement In a mixture of your blood and their ***** I hope a meteor shower shines over Africa- Bringing smiles to slaves in and out of graves- As if they've just been told what had happened.

Quaking Earth shattering Revolting And I'm in the middle of it My heart is at least I didn't realize or notice that it got so big able to lumber out of my chest I guess that's ok because I can't do anything about it Just like I couldn't do anything about the fire rising up behind "me" You aren't with me I don't get to hear your laugh anymore Sprinkling down through ivy covered walls You aren't with me I've realized that a lot But I also realize that when I get up in the morning Or in most cases never going to sleep to begin with The moon a lovely Complicit pale lover Never questioning me Never worrying me Listening when I need to talk And instead of telling me what to do Or telling me what I'm doing wrong it just listens I knew it wasn't a mistake when I fell for your pale face It was a mistake when I started liking someone Who's face didn't stay impressively passive when looking at me It was a mistake to fall out of orbit For someone who never wanted to be free From the confines of gravity To  come into my sky You know sometimes I can still see your shadow Just out of the corner of my eye The way your hair would fall How your eyes would even enrapture the sun You aren't mine anymore But the sun still deigns to rise And the moon still loves me I can't get back the love and adoration I gave you over the past five years And as I said I still see your shadow sometimes But you aren't mine And that's ok Because even though you never cared About being the meteor that knocked me out of orbit I still cared about you being happy Even when it wasn't with me Even when it isn't with me And each day since I've gotten off of the ground More and more So thanks For the broken insecurities For the things that I never wanted Thanks for submerging me into a vat Made out of stress and emotional pain Thanks For the new sense of orbit And the new outlook And that sometimes Dreams shatter Possibilities shatter But that's ok Because when they shatter The fractures Lead to new doors

Shattered Love

THE island dreams under the dawn And great boughs drop tranquillity; The peahens dance on a smooth lawn, A parrot sways upon a tree, Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea. Here we will moor our lonely ship And wander ever with woven hands, Murmuring softly lip to lip, Along the grass, along the sands, Murmuring how far away are the unquiet lands: How we alone of mortals are Hid under quiet boughs apart, While our love grows an Indian star, A meteor of the burning heart, One with the tide that gleams, the wings that gleam and dart, The heavy boughs, the burnished dove That moans and sighs a hundred days: How when we die our shades will rove, When eve has hushed the feathered ways, With vapoury footsole by the water's drowsy blaze.

The Indian To His Love
You told me that the stars were your best friends. That you paint the twilight sky midnights and crimsons and magentas. That each comet tail was a strand of your fallen hair, torn away by your tender fingertips, and that each meteor was a bit of you shedding your broken skin. You screamed to me that there was life, beyond our little self-aware planet. That you had met them all, shook their hands, kissed their babies. You were appreciated, not like home. They loved you. Plutonian dollars held your face, and Pluto was, indeed, a planet- noted, and you screeched; Your favorite, in fact. You told me you were God-- and your eyes those blank, lost eyes, they shone with your smile for the first time in the infinity of the universe. You believed yourself, and I couldn't bring myself to deny your honesty. You can be my God, if it makes any difference.

Honesty
We are the stuff of stars, left here to learn of love. Learn of that which was here before us. To shed this cloak of flesh, to look deep within two souls, see the oneness of the universe. We are the stuff of dreams, never to wake from sleep, or know the mystery of this life. We are the stuff of stars, that trail the night sky, from dust we came, and dust we leave behind. The Perseids /ˈpɜrsiːɨdz/ are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so-called because the point from which they appear to come, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. The name derives in part from the word Perseides, a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus.
