"miniscule" poems
some nights you will feel like there are a thousand galaxies exploding in every inch of you and you are burning too bright to ever be looked at directly, and some nights you will feel impossibly small, like your whole body could slip through the spaced between atoms and never reappear in this world again, and some nights you will feel like a paper doll, carefully crafted and easily blown away, fragile, too delicate to ever be touched, and some nights you will feel like each cell in your body is made of the strength that holds the whole planet together, and that is okay because you are made of stardust and miniscule atoms and breakable bones and the building blocks of everything in the universe, and you are too alive to never feel anything more than human

universe
the miniscule, crystallized phenomena floating down on their zephyr gondola to the little children's enchantment. the wintriness nipping at their stamina produced petite gloved hands pulling tightly at their jacket. to rollick the day away was their only commandment. fast forward a few years, and they'll be learning algebra, their minds drifting away during lectures on parabolas to the forgotten days of freedom; they lament the loss of their fragile frostwork taffeta.

I thought that saying goodbye, would be the hardest thing to say to you. And in a way it was, but in another it wasn't. It felt sad; it felt exhilarating. I thought that love, all kinds, meant giving you're all to someone. But it doesn't, it means something more. It means that you give them a piece of yourself for them to cherish, and they do the same. But you can't give something away, that doesn't exist. I didn't understand at first, but now I do. I never loved myself, I loved you. I used to feel I would die with joy from being around you. *And then I woke up one morning, and I realized that I did die.* That the every miniscule piece of who I was, had ceased to exist. I realized that I was empty, and always had been. *So instead of killing myself for your love, I lived for my own.* And now I drive around, listening to Tom Petty, wearing red lipstick; lips wrapped around the back half of a cigarette.. And I am so happy. I feel free. I feel like I can conquer anything, because I escaped a painful death; a death by you. But then it was time to say "Hello again.." and it was harder than goodbye. It brang back the memories of sadness. Of lonliness. Of being afraid. Then the moment passed... And I still feel free.

Hello Again.
_1981_ They came in like diseased eagles; mutated forms of those they wore on their chest and with the change once again in the weather, the ZOMO swooped in to quell what was ‘wrong’, what would bring them down. They run in the streets as well as the miners, running for different reasons and different aims. I look down, out my window and see the army helmets littering the street like rats.             Police.          Rats. I could no longer see a difference. My father went to work that morning. I clutch my doll knowing the chance of seeing him again is             Miniscule.   Poor. There is no more cereal in the cupboard; there is no more cereal in the shop; there is no more shop. The ZOMO set it on fire when the word                           Solidarity appeared in the window. “We are closing the border for the safety of the People”             Incorrect.     Unjustified. For the safety of You, the Elite. “Nine killed in mine shooting” Which side? Only the ZOMO carry guns.             Fascism.       Communism. I could no longer see a difference

I beg inside my soul to have you. I don't love you. I want to feel passion, desire, and the warmth of another body pressing against me I could grab any man I wanted, but I want you. I see your brown hair let me run my fingers through, just once Your eyes soft earth Your lips pink lilacs And all I want is your body Which is very saddening. To only want to use someone, then toss them aside like trash How can you? And still fall asleep at night without thinking about a face wet with tears your fault I simply want to do to you What you have done To All the women before me, The same song as a trickery I want you to fall in love with me an instrument meets the music I want you to hold me close and kiss me, as you share your fears and truths. a melody plays softly I want you to believe in love because of me Think of me, breathe me, and miss me when we are not together accelerato tempo Until one day you meet me in a corner booth at our favorite restaurant, and I rip your heart to shreds *Look, I never loved you. I lied. I used you to get what I want. You are a pathetic, self-serving dung heap that only thinks about himself. You wooed me, I pretended to like you, so I could dig under your thick facade of masculinity, and discover your sensitive side. I know what you are--man whore--and I enjoyed using you. You can lie to everyone, every woman from this point on, but ten years from now, when you are married to wife number four and you are waiting for her to come home and she never does, I want you to crawl into the bed you made and bawl like the whining, sniveling baby you truly become at night when no one else is around you. I hope 'lonely' presses you down so hard it hurts to breathe. And maybe then you might turn into a different man or at least your miniscule brain will have an inkling of true heartbreak. Doubtful though--I win. You lose* Then I get up and walk away from you, ignoring any pleas and ****** slurs. Caesura

And now... I have come to realize how truly strong a person you are. Stronger than anyone I have ever met. To keep a secret like that, and never tell without crumbling. And now... I have come to realize what a selfish, self-centered ***** I really am to be so caught up in my own dumb mind with my own worthless problems that are NOTHING compared to what you withheld. I won't dwell too long on what an awful unsupportive friend and person I have been because that would once again be drawing attention back to me the selfish way I have been doing, but I feel like I have to say it at least once: I am so. so. incredibly. sorry. I never noticed or asked how you were or saw that something was wrong. I'm so so sorry I wallowed in that pathetic self-pity for so long just over my stupid issues that are so miniscule compared to yours, I basically want to whack myself in the head with my guitar I'm so ****** at myself. I am SO SORRY I wasn't there and I'm SO SO SO SORRY I surrounded you with my own dumb unnecessary negativity when you had enough of your own. I'm so sorry. I cried for nearly an hour last night out of anger with myself for not being a good friend and out of sorrow for your troubles and the pain you must be going through. You can almost always tell when I am upset somehow but that is like your odd supernatural inexplicable talent and I don’t have it. I wish I did, but I can tell when someone likes another person somehow almost always accurately but what use is that? I’m just so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I promise that beginning NOW and today I swear I am going to be here for you. I am so sorry for not being there. Okay, I’m going to stop going on about it now. And now… I can see everything I didn’t pick up on when I needed to so clearly. And now… I just want you to be okay. I JUST want you not to be in pain. I don’t know how to fix you but I’ll do anything I can to try. And now… I want you to know how brave you are, to go at it alone. And now… I want you to know, two years ago, we agreed “No Secrets”. Well, since then we have kept multiple secrets from one another. All of us. Since then that agreement has become less and less realistic. There will always be secrets and that is just a part of life.  I understand why you didn’t tell me sooner and I just want you to know that I am always prepared to drop literally everything of mine, physical, mental, and emotional to listen to you and care more about your problems than mine because yours are always and have always been far greater than any of my pitiful woes. I will always understand why you keep things from me, but when you choose to share it, in your own time, then I will always be there to listen and understand. And now… I will never abandon you in this. -Love Ember

To the strongest person I know
And now... I have come to realize how truly strong a person you are. Stronger than anyone I have ever met. To keep a secret like that, and never tell without crumbling. And now...

this constant invitation into stark mystery is a story i flounder to find words for. ~ a glance, more than eyes looking. beholden entrancement, upon feedback's looping. ~ i am a crippled logician, wrought with wonder in the thrashing static jungle, of no conclusion. ~ this is a flash this here, the flesh a blinding binding light, obliterating, without solution, a living, i tremble in. ~ i am stumped i am little so small hung here in the sky. ~ a suspended channel of ideation, filling, with empty utterance. ~ i am confounded i am large too grand to get ahold of. ~ breathing multitudinous, full, with contradiction. ~ a grandiose enigmatic flux, miniscule and massive.

stark mystery
YOU ARE THE DAISY IN THE DESERT, PERHAPS YOU THINK YOU ARE ALONE (if you don't count the grains of sand) BUT SOMEONE WILL BE GLAD THEY FOUND YOU AND YOU WILL MAKE SOMEONE SMILE, PERHAPS CRY OUT WITH JOY. YOU ARE MINISCULE BUT YOU ARE IMPORTANT. DO NOT FORGET THAT.

I saw a flower So miniscule compared to a tower But it’s beauty so superior The tower so inferior Though a piece of art Created by someone so smart But a flower wasn’t designed Nor created by mankind Instead a natural piece It’s life only a temporary lease Nothing is forever Nor constant, always an unpredictable endeavor But that’s the beauty Nature’s easily attainable duty The want, the need, to continue on As we look forward towards the next dawn

Nature vs Manmade
Heartbreak Is not an overreaction Is not a figment of imagination of the ones who feel too much Heartbreak Is not simply a word for the ones who have loss. Is not simple at all. Heartbreak Is ripping Is the tearing of one's heart into miniscule pieces. Heartbreak Is the breath that both catches in your throat and completely leaves your body. Heartbreak Is the physical reaction in which your heart stops beating and your lungs stop working. Heartbreak Is when your smile stops working but you use it to cover up the tears anyway. Is when you picture your life without them in your day.

Heartbreak
feathered shadows ripple like the water in the wind on which they're cast miniscule molten metal droplet beetles dive beneath the shimmering water bathed in metamorphic waves of bending light inobservably tiny legs quickening in a graceful fury sliding through the world like slow-motion lightning or a brilliant spark unnoticeably extricated from its source

I am standing still as a rock curled up on the floor shaking back and forth. I am overreacting in response to your underreaction and something in my body just doesn't feel right anymore. A piece of me is angry that you dared to have this much control over me. Why were you trusted with a sword you didn't know how to use? Because these wounds are leaking blood and staining the new clothes I'm wearing for you. My underwear is covered in pictures of your favorite fruit that will never taste the same again. I am trying to rationalize your behavior. I am making up excuse after excuse for you and I am disgusted with myself. It was you who put me in this situation and it is all your **** fault which is why I am to blame. I didn't know that nothing was strong enough to break glass, but here I am shattered after your lack of words struck me. Who do you think you are, because apparently I know nothing about you. It was so subtle that I almost missed its hands wrapping around my throat. My face was blue by the time your rejection had sunk into my skin, pins and needles over every bit of flesh. I was changed in an instant. You don't miss me back. That knowledge bouncing back and forth inside of my skull on a Monday night. And maybe you were tired or maybe you were stressed or maybe you were revealing the truth to me, finally, releasing your feelings, or lack there of for the first time. Wasn't I so lucky to be there for your debut? I can feel ants crawling around on my heart and they must be hungry because they keep biting away miniscule pieces of me that I guess I didn't need. You mean so much to me but I must be meaningless. I am breaking down and apparently you couldn't care less. You never told me you didn't love me, you never told me you didn't miss me, I had to figure that one out for myself, you never told me I was nothing, but that is how I am feeling. And soon you will have to see my face and I will get to look upon yours and we will be together. My soul will be screaming out at you, demanding to know what changed, but my lips will not make a sound. I am silent and it has always been my greatest weakness, well, until I fell in love with you, anyway. All of this pain, yet I won't have a word to say. I am trapped here wondering what way it will go. Most of me doesn't even want to know. It's only a matter of days and even after all of this, I still manage to miss you, but You don't miss me back.

Reflections of my self, my being, my person, my soul, Forever replayed, reshown, redone, reinacted For the fact is The strength that settles in my palms is ignited by the ignorance of man. Oh man oh man how corrupt and vile does your mind be Calculating and engineering plans and strategies That will never leave your mind, Free To be or not to be A mockerey Of your confused biology, which hysterically Questions your existence. A gift so great, Yet bronzed with your persistence to query the beauty I have given you, Which is life! Behind every man is a woman who loves and sacrifices their own needs and Necessities for happiness, Clarity and justice. A dancing cherubim dancing elegantly like a warm summer ray from your childhood Window. Revitilises, Re-energises, Re-grows, The root of your soul As if the buds of may. Honey toned, chocolate foamed Milky light, All pleasures for your delight. Spread on to one body of immaculate perfection Formed from Aphrodite's tears. But the woman, The woman possesses such omnipotent spiritual clasp on nature That if she was to know, Overstand Or Even accept a miniscule quantity of this knowledge Then-man-would-be-woman. To trap and encase a man like a rodent Is to burn a ring of fire around his finger that leads life to his heart, Where it beats impatiently to the tune of the womans song. Skin soft, eyes lost Sight of who I am, Many different descriptions -although similar- still not the same, But am I really to blame? For the insecurities that you have belittled on me. For my hair is long, Then short, Then short, Then none. My skin dark, Then light, Then light, But not right A constant fight, A battle to aim for the right kind of existence but even still I Exist! And realise whatever you insist, still I Exist, Which is that gift that i hold in my being here, Looking there At my elegant stare,, Which i dare To offend the image, which you have sought to be womanly. No longer do I fear my image As it is a powerful icon of modern day life To withstand the turbulent stresses and grind of strife To help a man. To have. A happy. WIFE!

Acidic Memories of Flying Free on LSD! (FOR J,S, and N.S)!! Miniscule piece of blotting dot, Slices through my brain... Swear I felt it sitting there, Time and time again, Stereo sound distorted,While wild mind cavorted, Feeding much imagined images, Mirages in a mist, The light fantastic, it was stripped, Brain enlightened as she tripped, Is it night time? Dark or Light time? Haven't got a clue, Free riding wild, Runs as sparkly space pilot, On the end of the bed, Hell on earth, I lost my head! Was that funny micro-dot, purple, pink or blue, Confused in a bedroom, Where the hell is the door? Couldn't escape, till toxic fit left.. After too many hours, Shut my eyes, Tried to sleep, Not a chance in hell, My mind flew well, Trippping on flashes of dots and of dashes, Colours of rainbows, Flew through my head, So much more so when I needed my bed !

Another Dissociation
Such Waste! When I leave the tears flow, Whilst at home I know, Smile inside, Behind green eyes, Knowing that you painted it, Hiding in visage, A pretty happy place, Since you stumbled sadly, Into disarray by chance, Know we may be together, Only sometimes, In times choice, Simple speck, Entirely! Share heart space, In grace, Ingratiated, Grateful for your time, Twitters float as hummingbird, Miniscule flirts with love, Serenely talented, Awaiting touch of serendipity! We can never be in honesty, Maybe, Honestly guided, Through duet of crazy lives! A bond so definite, So infinite in style, Captured, Fondness, Much more than fondness, Snatched in my warm heart, Your smile, Laced, While tactile tenderness prevails! Pen pushes while we drift, Alive in sleep, Dark pens kiss, Fire and ice, Pleasantries, Not always, Always filled with spice, Diurnal in eternal writes, Divagated by his own diversity, A writing fuelled fellow, Filled with deviance! Character presented, Is just soul tormented, So classically unreal! By ladylivvi1 © 2013 ladylivvi1 (All rights reserved)

Such Waste!
if i exposed myself, every feeling, every thought, every miniscule detail that forms my body, my brain, my identity— i would be dead to you. (thankfully, though, i’ve gotten the memo early.) it’s obvious now, you never wanted a child. you wanted a robot, ready to reprogram. a servant, to do your bidding. a doll, to dress up the way you want. you wanted perfection, not a child. you wanted perfection, not me. you are not my god, and i will never be made in your image.

dead to you
Those eyes captivate me When I look into them I lose the ability to breathe Those eyes reach into me They grab my stomach And tie it in a thousand knots Those eyes devastate me I cannot know about the Universe that lies inside them Those eyes are a mystery But a miniscule clue Has been left behind... And I don't know what to do.

Those Eyes
October 3, 2013 at 1:22am So maybe I still miss you, but apathy is the way I want to feel towards you; *I want the ache in my chest to diminish, to be completely extinguished in a quick fleeting moment.* But it’s more like erosion, only washing away the most miniscule amount at a time. Decreasing the pain in the tiniest of amounts, taking decades and centuries of wind, light, and rain to morph it into what I desire it to be, without any distinguished timeline. Just natural causes that move uncontrollably along, constantly irritating, festering, and ripping the scab of the wound in awkward moments of solitude. I’m a slave to the tormenting low burning throb.

Erosion
Harm no one, the inevitable thought of a miniscule Agamemnon, The insufferable, the pious, the deceiver, And the devout, the sheep, the lamb, Lead me I follow, Follow me I will train you, Despicable, For here there is only nothingness disguised as a cruel sacrifice, I believe in nothing, in circles, in patterns, in physics, in atoms within atoms, in life that studies itself, I believe in the arts, in music, in poetry, in dreams that are breathed into existence through an artists touch, I believe in family, in pure love, in unconditional acceptance, in forgiveness and the cultivation of hope, I believe in people, who's emotions rage like the sea, who's ideas raise whole cities, who's dreams are to find peace and understanding, who sometimes are misled but are never beyond the good within themselves, I believe in life, in growth, in the earth, the mother of us all and the sun, the father that watches his children basking in his warmth, I believe in trees that give us oxygen and water that gives us life. And so I believe in the underdog, the unseen, the overlooked, the underrated, and the unappreciated, I believe in the here and now, the present moment, the kiss, the dance, the wine, and the open hand. There is nothing of your cold religion, or your angry god that I need. Because life is all around me and beauty is in all things here and now and forever. Space spirals on and the river of time still flows in all directions, it is eternal this holy thing and it is without end, no mans demonic godhead will ever bring it down and this disease called religion will eventually be cured.

Harm no one, the inevitable thought of a miniscule Agamemnon, The insufferable, the pious, the deceiver, And the devout, the sheep, the lamb, Lead me I follow, Follow me I will train you, Despicable, For here there is only nothingness disguised as a cruel sacrifice, I believe in nothing, in circles, in patterns, in physics, in atoms within atoms, in life that studies itself, I believe in the arts, in music, in poetry, in dreams that are breathed into existence through an artists touch, I believe in family, in pure love, in unconditional acceptance, in forgiveness and the cultivation of hope, I believe in people, who's emotions rage like the sea, who's ideas raise whole cities, who's dreams are to find peace and understanding, who sometimes are misled but are never beyond the good within themselves, I believe in life, in growth, in the earth, the mother of us all and the sun, the father that watches his children basking in his warmth, I believe in trees that give us oxygen and water that gives us life. And so I believe in the underdog, the unseen, the overlooked, the underrated, and the unappreciated, I believe in the here and now, the present moment, the kiss, the dance, the wine, and the open hand. There is nothing of your cold religion, or your angry god that I need. Because life is all around me and beauty is in all things here and now and forever. Space spirals on and the river of time still flows in all directions, it is eternal this holy thing and it is without end, no mans demonic godhead will ever bring it down and this disease called religion will eventually be cured.

the curtain has risen, and miniscule snow flakes, make their appearance, darting to and fro across the sky- their stage. they quickly find partners- one bows, the other curtsies. and they begin to dance twirling and spinning, weaving stories with every move. they dance a breathtaking ballet, an astounding performance. at the end of each snowflake's performance, they sprinkle the world around them, making the atmosphere light as the lawns turn white. inside a cozy house, one filled with the spirit of the holidays, two people sit at a windowsill on the second floor. they watch contently, at the beauty just outside their window. the two people- a content boy and a wistful girl, are wearing slight smiles, as they enjoy the bliss of winter and each other. fingers interlaced, with shoulders touching, the boy plants a kiss on the girl's forehead. and they get lost in the moment, watching the ballet together.

the ballet
Sitting on stage The glare of the audience immobilizes my every move Is there a way this paralysis will soothe? The lights suddenly blare Like a deer bathed in headlights How can I escape from this radiant bear? The conductor baton rises into the soundless air Sweating, stammering, shivering Will this be my final prayer? The sound of an A fires from a clarinet Bow on string, I imitate the shrill This magical note seems to be my fever pill A-D, D-G, A-E Instrument seems in tune But will this miniscule fact solve my problem soon? As the chief baton swings side to side Flickering images in my mind crash like a tsunami tide Joy, Love, Hardship, and Harmony Music conducted the opening to my passion ceremony Fire ignites my being Like bungee-jumping off a bridge The words “Anything is possible!” now beaming Like poetry, music is an art Raw emotion strangles uniformity Expression bears no limit Creativity beats as our vital body part

Stage Fright or Stage Might
I'm trapped. Trapped like a rat. And he is the house cat. We live in New York, which is to say, we live in chaos. We like to dream big, but we don't follow through. Afterall, a cat will attack a rat because it's a rat. The way of our world. A beautiful hurricane of a vicious cycle. When it rains, it pours. You and I are a perfect example of no pain, no gain but the gain is really so miniscule that this game, Mr. Cat, seems like there is truly no glory in winning. A rat can try to run from a cat, and very few escape. If I could evade the cat and leave New York... I have the time to contemplate... Could there be a better existence in which I am a) not being chased, attacked, or trapped by a cat, and b) free of the noise and chaos of New York? I have been in this corner for awhile now. His patience is everlasting. He guards the safest escape route. Cat's are smart. There is, however, a crack in the wall. But it would be a tremendous fall. A chance, perhaps, this rat could scale the brick wall of the apartment building, down 10 floors to the alley and scurry scurry scurry far far far away. Wait. He is...retreating? Is this a trick? No, it seems I've bored this tired, old house cat! This is my chance to leave, lickety-split out through the hole behind the welcome mat, that rests against the south wall. I peak my head out of the crevice - there seems to be no cat. I run. Scurry scurry scurry. Hurry hurry hurry. Too late. It was a smarter trap. Retreat! Retreat! His teeth sink into my hind leg. I squeak, I thrash. I poke him in the eyes with my sharp nails. He releases me and I hobble scurry to the crack. The cat is attacking the wall. Furious. Next time, he won't allow me to fight back. There is no point in staying here, afterall. I will take my chances on the wall. Out the hole, brick edge by brick edge I cling and claw my way down. .... I made it. ...this is a free rat. There is no cat. There is still noise, anger, people everywhere; shouting. This is not where this rat wants to be, either. Out of New York. That's what is desired. The cat has left me with wounds, and memories of torture. I will go, and heal, over many of moons, and find peace in my future. Run and run and free free free. So it wants, so it has done, so it will be.

the cat and the rat.

have you once thought about whether or not moths ever feel afraid of getting burned by the light they always and forever long to chase? don't you think they stop for even a second to deliberate about it? or maybe to them and their short life it was worth it? hey, did you consider that maybe it's why the have such short lifespans? perhaps in the lenses of miniscule eyes of ephemeral dismal colors in this infinite world the warmth of flames are all they live for? i don't know... maybe that's why we humans live longer? we, or at least some of us have the mind enough to say that "this is the "closest" "i'll ever be' "to the sun" before we all turn into ashes.

perihelion
Lately I have been hanging your voice on my wall. It came in ten different frames, and I spent hours adjusting them until they hugged the wall at the perfect angle, their gilded bodies pressing against painted emptiness, whitewashed space. And when I feel nostalgia twining around my veins like wild ivy, I only need to reach out and – “Hello. My name is –“ “Hello. My name –“ “Hello. (Stop.) My. (Stop.) Name. (Stop.) Is. (Stop.)” “Hellomynameis –“ Do you remember that? Did you know my hands shook, that I tripped over words like I do with miniscule cracks in the sidewalk, that my heart stuttered thumpthump thu thump thuuump thumpthumpthump and how it hasn’t quite been the same ever since? “I love you.” “I love (rewind) – love (rewind) – I love (rewind)– love (rewind)– I love you.” “I love –“ “Iloveyou.” You thought you could pry me open and tear down my walls and then suddenly you did. It only took three words to start a hurricane in my heart. Did you ever notice the aftermath, the broken homes and homeless souls? I am still rebuilding. I hammered this one into my soul, can still feel the echo of your words pounding away in my bones: “Goodbye.” “Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.” “Good…(clickclickclick)… bye.”
