Erich Fried: Was es ist (What it is)
. In a costume of conflicting emotion, of crossing diamondic colour, with regal posture in grief, the Harlequin and the King, a display of opposites creating a composite being, that eases her body gently into the waiting water, to float away serene, on her journey to the nether. Midnight blue and emerald green, the regalia of ermine, both ostentatious and humble, robeing the aspects, understated in crowning splendour, the gentleman King bows, and the Harlequin laughs, the bi-polar reaction to the tragedy of misfortune, with a sting in the myth-tale. With the dark hues of mourning, a legend passes on her way, across the streams of time, on a voyage to discover herself, carrying her Harlequin in a purse, holding her King to her breast, owning them both in her heart, the medicine wheel spins, knowing the grapes of wrath yield the wine of spite. The motley speckles of attire, a starry parody of night skies, lighting the decorated funeral barge, gliding along the rivers of space, worn with the mantle of sorrow, and it sails into the sunset, as the Harlequin and King observe, the mandala turns, the bier of the Queen departing, bears their sadness forth. The Harlequin laughs and laughs 'til he cries, his heart grows cold, then withers and dies, whilst the King, statuesque, memoirs his life, lamenting the legend of a Queen, his wife. © Pagan Paul (24/07/18)

Mediaeval Myth Lamenting Legend
The photos were leaked today They were of a **** woman with brown skin Love making as she stared straight into the lenses I was showed by a man who did not know how to react once I had been shown My reaction was not shock I merely stated "That's baad" I did not know how to react to the staunch cyber-bully who was sure he was doing himself a justice by being so open about his anger at the naked, brown, humiliated, naked, shamed, beautiful I am shamed by his shaming I am naked by his ********** I am beautiful by myself sometimes Sometimes I take the tape off my camera and position it near my bloom I am not alone in this activity and yet I feel alone in an intimate situation, feel less alone, in a private situation. Sometimes I work it so that every part of my dark lips are shadowed and my fingers seem to work for a living rather than play My body is not a string It is a temple of dark things It is a ossuary filled with the dust of former lives It is not to be dangled for cats for play It has no puppet hands Or puppet face It smiles because it sees you smile And she frowns when she sees you laugh It is alive The misfortune you hope her body will bring her is shame I hope it will bring other people enlightenment The fault is not in her The fault is in the malicious, villainous, caricature of man who is hallow and made of maddening bells Every time you disturb him he rings in announcement "This lady I had once an intimate relationship and she abused me. Here is her punishment." We are all cavernous tunnels with lights to shoot out of the pins and needles sensational feelings we do not desire this but we must desire to be freed from being owned by this We all think we're exempted from shame until we are ashamed There are no exemptions, only more bells They ring, until background noise renders them obsolete to us

You are the sky While I'm of dirt and earth Sharing the universe in separate realms Conflicting factions, diverse births I would forever look up Rest my gaze on the tide of the air And dream for our eyes to meet Temporary eternity that we would share I've cried many a teardrop But you can never know Because to you they never could reach For into my core they'd only flow But when you stare down sullenly Your tears would fall, soaking my plane I'd drink the drops voraciously Those gifts of love from heaven's rain Your tears would nurture the seeds I've planted They'd take root and flourish in the sun Resolve in my soil held firmly in place Thinking our journey forth would've then begun Roots would give birth to stem Which in turn, would branch out into leaves Plantling will eventually grow up high To give back the love, it constantly receives Such misfortune little sprout You can only grow so tall You can never reach that far You and I can only kiss the drops that fall So... My beautiful sky of azure I am but dust on fate's heavy feet We can only look to the faraway horizon Only there could heaven and earth truly meet

Heaven & Earth
In the night, those shadows come alive. So little do i know about this heavy doubt. Cold wind biting the heart. Trying to figure out where I've been. Dark winter pulls me closer, now theres a place i'm thinking into the air. A voice calling, "Who knows but that which seems omitted today, waits for tomorrow?" Nothing is as it seams, just as beauty leans from the earth in a sunset--a harp for the soul to sing. But You are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at her self But you are eternity and you are the mirror. And if you want to know truth retire of solving riddles. We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel, back into dreams. Ay, my bow rests on my chest. There is the flame spirit among a starry mountainside. Oh it was but yesterday we met in a dream. You watched as I built a ship towards your shore. My spirit goes wandering upon the wind, off to the desert sands, deep beneath the ocean's sound. I am the gypsey and the fortuneteller, liken an honest thief. No I'm the myth builder and dream master. who laughs with me when I destroy, the sand castles of my innocence. The sun warming my back just as the wicked, and drawing my image locked in a shadow. Here the soul a battlefield, where reason and passion become one. they are the sails of my seafaring soul. There I found the naked body of my dreams, in silent sleep my spriit walked the path. I am the star-gazer who feels the power of endlessness, Aware of timelessness and neverending space. The love in me still present amidst the scattered fires that burn in black ink. Just as the caveman draws his fears on lost walls, speaking of misfortune and treasures gallore. A fantom ghost in Hade's Fate. Now my ship wanders forever on a pearlous course but never sinking.

Our embrace lasted too long. We loved right down to the bone. I hear the bones grind, I see our two skeletons. Now I am waiting till you leave, till the clatter of your shoes is heard no more. Now, silence. Tonight I am going to sleep alone on the bedclothes of purity. Aloneness is the first hygienic measure. Aloneness will enlarge the walls of the room, I will open the window and the large, frosty air will enter, healthy as tragedy. Human thoughts will enter and human concerns, misfortune of others, saintliness of others. They will converse softly and sternly. Do not come anymore. I am an animal very rarely.

I’ll Open the Window
Sleeping in a silent forest night sky come and swallow me whole I promise I won't protest These stars may fill my tired soul And these trees, oh, how I love thee Lush and green, dark and eerie This is where I long to be Here is where I'd never be weary I put my life onto the earth Dig myself a hole for a bed This is where lies all lifes worth Here everything is, I miss nothing I haven't had Roots may pervade me, leafs shall cover And in my stead another will grow I will dissolve in the arms of my last lover And of all misfortune it will never speak nor will it show On new branches my soul will hang until another

Sepulchre
His Grandparents were Romany people from his maternal side In Countries of Eastern Europe they travelled far and wide But the most basic human right their right to life of them even denied In Belzec Concentration camp where a million people died. I never knew my maternal Grandparents with sadness he recall Due to circumstance of birth and their way of life misfortune them did befall My gift of music such a marvellous gift to them I feel I owe In Belzec Concentration Camp they were murdered decades ago. A tall and handsome man in his early thirties with wavy raven hair With the marvellous gift of music a great accordion player In silence we sat and drank our beer as we listened to him play The beautiful old gipsy tunes from Countries far away. That all things do come to an end in some cases a lie In Belzec Concentration camp the gipsy music did not die But that the gift of music does live on should not come as a surprise Something that those who commit crimes against humanity seem to fail to realize. He played at the pub on passing through him I never more may see But the beauty of his music will live in my memory His maternal Grandparents who died at Belzec their lives were not in vain Their music in their Grandchild has come to life again.

In Belzec Concentration Camp
Michael Louviere was a man of the people, Who held in his hand a book of the law, And outside his belt a gun for his safety, But never would he have used it for ****** I'm told he helped many but never killed any, But Sylvester Holt did not believe it, He said the actions of one create a whole guilty people, And he took the matters into his own  hands, And killed poor young Michael for serving his people. So I'm sorry young man, you been born with white skin, In a world with the permissions to ****** and to maim, But just to have freedom depends on your name, But if you think its good I suppose ill let you, Work for a cause that is just out to get you, And keeping in line with the others before him, Sylvester took the bait and the hook nearly gored him, But the worm could've lived it was just his misfortune. Sylvester laid down with a bullet in his chest, And the gun in his hand had a burning hot barrel, He assumed death was better than life and life only, But in his last second he pulled out a small knife, And cut in his gun small violent furrow, It was then that he realized this all wasn't worth it, He saw those two notches and handed himself in, To a lifetime of no pain and and unwoken rest.

I will love you no matter how many mistakes I make when trying to reduce fractions, and no matter how difficult it is to memorize the periodic table. I will love you as the manatee loves the head of lettuce and as the dark spot loves the leopard, as the leech loves the ankle of a wader and as a corpse loves the beak of a vulture. I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and the passengers love the lifeboat and the lifeboat loves the teeth of the ***** whale, and the ***** whale loves the flavor of naval uniforms. I never want to be away from you again, except at work, in the restroom or when one of us is at a movie the other does not want to see. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where we once were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively. I will love you until the chances of us running into one another slip from slim to zero, and until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faced by distant fog, and your fog memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memorized memory of a foggy fog. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, no matter where you avoid and who you don’t see, and no matter who sees you avoiding where you go. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this, and no matter how I am discovered after what happens to me as I am discovering this. I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the noise of glass shattering loves to make someone else gasp, and as someone else gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret compartment. I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence, and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily. Life will never end when you are in it.”

A crimson day unfolds with sunshine, Horrid, the creature of hatred creeps around and blocks the sun off gruesome dark rainclouds summon up from the east, counciling, The mother of purity, caught in endless fury as her child was taken from her, before her very eyes, an eternal spring dream, shatters now, By her own mistake, she invited prohibited emotions for this creature, The angel of hers she wanted to take under her wing and raise, was now gone, as if it was all an illusion which is lost due time, due evil, A sea of flowers is blooming, a warmer season has arrived finally, but for her misfortune, her inside remains cold and distant to her grief, Raging storms within her clouded her mind, she can't even think straigh but to believe, of what a bad mother she must have been to let this happen to her most precious treasure, ah demons of ones past, Repressing her true feelings gave her headaches, but it was alright because the pain would surely fade, then she could be pure again, But deep inside she knew that for this child she had given up a part of herself, so maybe things would be different, even if everything returns to its old shape, or rather if everything appeared that way, Mother Purity would never be the same again, as her daughter faded, After all, even she is only human. ~ Umi

Purity of ones Dream
Discoboli of African poetry has now sparked above aphasia The aphasic silence today breaks eardrums with cacophony Of the world audience in the by standing duty of workshop tubes, Executing poetic experiment on the origin of **** poeticus To link the archaic baboonish proteins to the black chimpanzee Cradling African man, the sire of all and their poetry. That when the Chimpanzee blood we poured Into the African veins of vena cava and aorta, Feeding the heart with viscosity of nutrition, And the Chimpanzee blood fell into deadly Tomperousness like Shakespearean impetuosity Once seen in Romeo and Juliet, giving timely Birth To untimely half the yellow Sun That juxtaposed planet of poetry Behind the star of tribe as a priority Condemning to stark oblivion all the fated, in full uniform of tribal dimunitions, or mimesis. Ever predated on when tribes form nations. A time to try the chimpanzee blood in the veins Of white humanity, battling cynosure Historically evinced in Antony and his father, Or Tybalt and Mercurial of mercutio, Or Macbeth and counterparts Or Hamlet the Danish and the inheritors of his mother, As the white blood cells of the white blood, Militantly attack the white corpuscles Of the misfortunate chimpanzee, Converting the later into A chewer of misfortune.

CHIMPANZEE BLOOD INSIDE AFRICAN VEINES
I never asked to be ugly dunno why it made me so hard to like My own peers they killed me while our adult supervision got high. I had no friends when I went away to the place mom told me I had to go stay, "It's a happy place," I remember she said, "Called Camp Crystal Lake." Sounded nice enough at the time. Crystal Lake. A family fave. Nowadays, when you hear the name You don't think of a sunshiney place full of laughter and happy children You think of misfortune you think of my face and if you think of visiting, You better not stay For more than a day, Or the children will play on your grave. This is my home and I'd rather be alone, With the dead animals and my mother's bones.

Crystal Lake
A girl and a boy pick their way across the snow-wrecked parking lot, holding hands even if they have to stretch to reach. She’s laughing, an arm out slightly for balance, like a gymnast. They come closer together as they reach a spot that is snow free, brushing arms, then the inevitable happens. The boy steps in the cold snow slush; trying to pretend his canvas shoes aren’t soaked through. The girl laughs, covering her mouth; hiding her amusement at his misfortune. Their mouths move through quick conversation, the words inaudible. They don’t really matter though, He’ll get home and peel off his damp socks and remember her yet again. The laugh that escaped her lips before she could control it, the cold hearted canvas that failed to provide adequate protection, and the way he smiled and continued walking, just to hold her hand.

Cold Hearted Canvas: Part 2
Listen to my words the kids they going crazy Getting locked up All they can clutch, Miranda rights at the same time alright Miranda writes Our thoughts put to paper Play it out on the stage Never know the difference Its a turn of the page Some use their bullets some wield a knife Others preach the dollar Is How they take our lives Grab you by the collar And break you down with lies Don't matter what your searching Only what you find This is our misfortune Blinded by distortion Someday we might wake up As we struggle to align You cannot be free all that blood in your eyes Round and round in circles A place I call my home Just a lonely misfit With the strength of a stone Wonder round these valleys While you sit upon your throne Sometimes it's hard to admit The scale of this dismay Indeed we are alone Some use their writing The bullet is a pen I killed oppression Does that mean That I'm insane I killed oppression What's left to be? waiting in vain I killed oppression a fury made of fire Brought down all the people We were never equal I killed oppression Standing on the sun The flames You can keep em They killed oppression Shot it right between the eyes Third, you may see Lead you to your destiny They killed oppression Look at the world Crumble let it be No one really cares About the people No one really cares About the people They killed oppression The wars about a dollar Corporate oversight Disguise pain with laughter Gotta feed the horde Seduction is their nature They killed oppression Read between the lines They. Have drawn for you, as We **** oppression

Listen to my words the kids they going crazy Getting locked up All they can clutch, Miranda rights at the same time alright Miranda writes Our thoughts put to paper Play it out on the stage Never know the difference Its a turn of the page Some use their bullets some wield a knife Others preach the dollar Is How they take our lives Grab you by the collar And break you down with lies Don't matter what your searching Only what you find This is our misfortune Blinded by distortion Someday we might wake up As we struggle to align You cannot be free all that blood in your eyes Round and round in circles A place I call my home Just a lonely misfit With the strength of a stone Wonder round these valleys While you sit upon your throne Sometimes it's hard to admit The scale of this dismay Indeed we are alone Some use their writing The bullet is a pen I killed oppression Does that mean That I'm insane I killed oppression What's left to be? waiting in vain I killed oppression a fury made of fire Brought down all the people We were never equal I killed oppression Standing on the sun The flames You can keep em They killed oppression Shot it right between the eyes Third, you may see Lead you to your destiny They killed oppression Look at the world Crumble let it be No one really cares About the people No one really cares About the people They killed oppression The wars about a dollar Corporate oversight Disguise pain with laughter Gotta feed the horde Seduction is their nature They killed oppression Read between the lines They. Have drawn for you, as We **** oppression

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I prided myself on never hating anyone I let their negativity roll off my back Bit my tongue until it was split in two Took their criticism and took the high road I see that was no use Your negativity is a poison Seeping into whatever crevice crack it can find to invade A parasite latching to its host Wanting to bring down my drive my spirit My mind you want to raid You glance at me smirk with contempt because you see in me what you lack in yourself Personality maybe? A smile that shines so bright the very sight of it sickens you But in true fashion I never brag or boast or thrive on the vision of another's misfortune Even though you would love to watch me suffer I use your negativity As my creativity My fuel to leave you in my rearview And as i drive away I will throw up the deuces Make my own way No excuses You wont bring me down!

Driven
She has freckles like little eyes boring a hole into your soul when she looks at you. She has a face as clear as crystal that when you look at her, you can see your own reflection—mirrorless, empty, and reserved. When you press your lips against hers, a flood of poisonous schemes awaits you, and you'll be lost like Alice in Wonderland. She's an important chess piece that cannot be easily moved; she's a queen, the ace, the king. A pawn may capture a queen, but she is also the king. Her throne reeks of gold and fortune, her mind flows with wisdom, and her body's attached like the goddess Aphrodite. She's the thunder in the rain. Her cries are a woe of revenge and power. Death can not capture a woman like her. She's Eve and she's Lilith. She's a spirit and she can be a snake—crawling with her reptile skin. Her eyes are as fierce shaped as the diamond's emerald and lastly, she's macabre surrealism that when you read her, her true self shows and pushes you to infinite possible dreams you can dream of.  Avary is the bird of thunder. In her cage, she's a young soul duplicated to bring misfortune every time it rains in the spring of Casmorville.

To Selene: Rare a night, her gentle grace is not seen; Live long torches, shamed, by her beauty’s gleam! The Queen of night, my heart, she reigns supreme. Floating high in deep, black lakes of my dreams, Softly she gazes down past thick and thin; Distant is her love as we skin to skin; Fooled, my fervent stretch is never within, Her affection for me, I’ll never win. My heart, her misfortune can only reap This last choice—wound us both more than my weep! For her sympathy, my eternal sleep! Now like me, may her woe forever keep. By day miss her and dream of her by noon Forever, rest in heart, my dear honey, moon

Endymion's Letter
Your touch is still lingering although I try to rid myself, Of the pain of your absence it's no good for my health, Your kisses still wonder around my absent mind, What good would it be to commit such a crime, To keep me from sanity to keep me from the calm, Oh how hard it seems to me, I mustn't go on, I will not be sane, I will not be sober, This endless pain and suffering shall ne'er be over, Why cause me such misfortune, what was the point of this, Why did I ever touch soft hands, why did I let us kiss, I've always seen this coming, I knew it from the start, I thought I could not feel such things, in my already empty heart,
