"mover" poems
XXII. TO POSEIDON (7 lines) (ll. 1-5) I begin to sing about Poseidon, the great god, mover of the earth and fruitless sea, god of the deep who is also lord of Helicon and wide Aegae. A two-fold office the gods allotted you, O Shaker of the Earth, to be a tamer of horses and a saviour of ships! (ll. 6-7) Hail, Poseidon, Holder of the Earth, dark-haired lord! O blessed one, be kindly in heart and help those who voyage in ships!

The Homeric Hymns: 22- To Poseidon
Writing for me is simple.. Lyrically ready to maximize my potential.. I have something to say I don't blow hot air like a inner tube... Tell them liars they need to relax.. I am the type to push it to the max.. Switching gears and lanes until the governor snap .. I cannot be contain.. Like the green hulk fighting the thing I wish you could take a walk through my brain.. You would see different things depending on the time of day... Like dead people, relatives that passed in my memories they live... Times of my youth when I was a kid... I didn't smile much. I was a good kid I didn't wild much... Pops sold crack so I styled much ... Gun shots in Baltimore, my pops  died once... In my mind I question a ****   Like are they always ready to **** Or does life have them Close to the edge.. Of a cliff a jagged hill   And they don't want to die in this dog eat dog world.. So they let blood spill.. I wonder if I was a G would I bang. Red or blue claim a gang.   Be like Larry Hoover... A young shooter... In and out of prison I maneuver Run the block like a ruler... Be part of the the trash like manure Be a coke runner a drug mover.. Corrupting the body of drug users.  .. Would I be known as a survivor Escaping death more than MacGyver Embrace the streets as truth knowing that's it a liar... Nickname my gun human torch cause it fires I wonder cause honestly I don't have a gun This poetry is my weapon.. I am only gangsta through my lyrical aggression Day 1 down...I am up to the challenge. A poem a day ..to test my talent...

Day 1: No Gangsta

You are my morning cup of coffee, My hot, steamy, caffeinated beverage made to wake me up, I sip you, Bitter, Some sugar to cheer you up? I dowse you in vanilla cream… Any better my darling? How come you are so nasty? Not a morning person either? Well I can't blame you, Why do I think I drink so much of you? Because I like you? Well I do,sorta, the effects you bring to me are quite uplifting, I shake, Nervously, Oh you startle me and delight me, I feel comforted as you break open into my bloodstream, My body on fire and ready to start my long and trying day, Maybe we can get through this together, Another cup is what I think I need of you, Whether bitter or not we can make it through, So my little cappuccino, so frothy and frilly, I want you to know that I need you, Like to start my morning, my every morning Whether you are just black, or a venti latte with skim and carmel syrup stirred inside, Or else I be stuck in bed all the time There be no you to keep me awake or alive, No reason to go outside and try, No motivator, no mover, just me living my days on my own, How terribly depressing I must add, So I'll keep you company if you keep on stirring my brain with your caffeinated ways

You are my morning cup of coffee
You can assume what you want you're probably right This is a never ending story A special heart broke apart is the downside of favoritism To live today with a awfully wedded wife Can coincide with the upside to fablism Can you stand up with or aside a revolution It's still a time of movement This is the start of a revolution In the mind of a mover who constantly dreams of destruction Fail or win Now that's its over You can become addicted to the fact that you want it back Just that very dream or memory Can leave you so high That a skydiving crash would feel like a descent towards pillowed daffodils Now histamines flare up Now swollen about to pop You've never been so high The perfect quality to qualify the high you have But quantity Is the one thing no one can grasp Have none to share none If you don't have it for yourself first You can't give something you don't have enough for even yourself This is the blank meaning for inspiration For inspiring an unborn child Maybe it's the missing meaning Blank blank blank It still means nothing when nothing is there So why take this walk Why write lines the continue to feel like nothing Why scream on top of the mountain of the faintest echo won't reach the mightiest of ears hearing to tell the world of an achievement That no one fortunately cares about An empty sentient being It's more interpersonal than that

Interpersonal Matters
We are a global society When we want oranges in the fruit bowl, When we want out of our rut Just long enough To brown in a patch of Spanish sun. We are a global society When the Japanese car breaks down And we are in need of a cheap fix To keep food on the table, Some Latvian mechanic Who helps us find our way home. We are our own nation, An island nation, When the zeroes run low And there are spaces, Foreign faces, To which we can point And blame. We are a global society With our sweat-shop chic, American coffee chains Selling Colombian ground beans, Frappuccinos in plastic cups- Made in China And served by a Romanian barista In Italian heels. We are a global society When the demand is high And the payment is low. We are our own nation, An island nation, When hands reach out for help And our pockets are too shallow, Our time, too brief To commit to a unity We feel is dragging us down. We are a global society When the football is on, When the lager is Belgian And the supermodel, Greek. When we cradle that bag of Cheetos After smoking too much **** We are a global society When oppression is overt, Caricatured in bulletin posters, Threatening to land Upon our own front door. We are our own nation, An island nation, When poverty seems contagious, When we have to clean up Someone else’s mess, Still we scar the Middle East Only half-interested in an exit. We are a global society When we get sick, When we borrow another doctor For our ailing NHS. When cities of white people burn, We are a global society, When Africa is divided, We are nowhere to be seen. Prime mover of the commonwealth Yet we fall beneath the breadline And living easy is so rare. We are our own nation, An island nation, Under the false flag Of a golden age We were conned to believe in. Our nation, our island nation, Lost amongst a sea of misinformation.

Her whispy straw-like hair Strange green eyes that never rest A smile no artist could ever paint A frown to suicide a saint Her voice fresh water that she never drinks Her measured distance covers what she thinks Laughter so human it inspires God And sends Him back to work Whilst she is unemployed She's a taker; She's a mover; she's a doer And what she gives makes charity cry Her pride is rarely spoken loud She's not comfortable in a crowd But she drinks in others As they drink in her; She is blind where they don't care. Her whispy straw-like hair transcends despair Like only a Russian knows how; Balanced compassion with a violent passion But what light in those still hoping eyes

**Of all known phenomena Birth is the most wondrous And the most miraculous In the assortment of life’s stunners So you always are a miracle One readily celebrated each year As the sparkle of your smile Dazzles the world Like sunshine after a dark tunnel And the fire in your eyes is a smelter To melt iced hearts and smelt rock faces So dance maestro dance And never once forget the choreography Of the poetry in your fervent heart Where hopes and dreams are a lovely duet Happy birthday mover of the spirit You who creates joy in moments of magic When configurations of rainbow futures coax your heart To beat intricate rhythms from life’s score sheet Happy birthday to you, child from eternal vistas Let your dreams carry you forward to fruition Till life is oozing and dripping with honeyed dew And each early morning walk is capped with shower bliss And that promise of tomorrow and the day after the feat Of never giving up on the business of living, no matter what Happy birthday  to you; you of stardust and moon glow**

Ode to a Birthday Girl
Nació la palabra en la sangre, creció en el cuerpo oscuro, palpitando, y voló con los labios y la boca. Más lejos y más cerca aún, aún venía de padres muertos y de errantes razas, de territorios que se hicieron piedra, que se cansaron de sus pobres tribus, porque cuando el dolor salió al camino los pueblos anduvieron y llegaron y nueva tierra y agua reunieron para sembrar de nuevo su palabra. Y así la herencia es ésta: éste es el aire que nos comunica con el hombre enterrado y con la aurora de nuevos seres que aún no amanecieron. Aún la atmósfera tiembla con la primera palabra elaborada con pánico y gemido. Salió de las tinieblas y hasta ahora no hay trueno que truene aún con su ferretería como aquella palabra, la primera palabra pronunciada: tal vez sólo un susurro fue, una gota, y cae y cae aún su catarata. Luego el sentido llena la palabra. Quedó preñada y se llenó de vidas. Todo fue nacimientos y sonidos: la afirmación, la claridad, la fueza, la nagación, la destrucción, la muerte: el verbo asumió todos los poderes y se fundió existencia con esencia en la electricidad de su hermosura. Palabra humana, sílaba, cadera de larga luz y dura platería, hereditaria copa que recibe las comunicaciones de la sangre: he aquí que el silencio fue integrado por el total de la palabra humana y no hablar es morir entre los seres: se hace lenguaje hasta la cabellera, habla la boca sin mover los labios: los ojos de repente son palabras. Yo tomo la palabra y la recorro como si fuera sólo forma humana, me embelesan sus líneas y navego en cada resonancia del idioma: pronuncio y soy y sin hablar me acerca el fin de las palabras al silencio. Bebo por la palabra levantando una palabra o copa cristalina, en ella bebo el vino del idioma o el agua interminable, manantial maternal de las palabras, y copa y agua y vino originan mi canto porque el verbo es origen y vierte vida: es sangre, es la sangre que expresa su substancia y está dispuesto así su desarrollo: dan cristal al cristal, sangre a la sangre, y dan vida a la vida las palabras.

Yes, mechanical leaf mover, create the shrillest sounds known to man. See if it doesn't just slowly make the world a ******** place by taking away the joy of crunchy leafs, which gradually become moist, squishy leafs, then, after a long period, emerging from a snow covering thaw and lie there, fully exposed, recumbent, depriving the dormant seed of grass its sunlight, preventing grass, freeing up water for infrastructure needs more urgent and rational than supporting the most boring of decorative plants encompassing our lives. I guess what I'm saying is that, not only are your sounds annoying, they're just another of the short-sighted endeavors our present society insists on. You are the "circumcision-for-hygiene-purposes" of our urban planning. **** you, leaf blower. **** you and the excruciating environmental ignorance you represent. I SAID **** YOU, LEAF BLOWER, YET YOU PERSIST! You need to let that leafy-foreskin grow, covering the shaft of ground. Rid it of the pleasure-impeding growth of grass! Let the earth cry out for the sensation of tiny points of pressure moving delicately along its surface. Let the ground erupt with wild flowers, or at the very least, the trampled exuberance of plodded soil and the desperate levels of human debris that would collect upon it. Or are you trying to hide our wastefulness from us by removing something which is nothing, a nothing, invisible barrier? You've already succeeded in giving my apartment complex the ambience of an industrial production complex which I suppose it always was. Maybe your attempt at concealment has been a revelation. Or maybe I just can't think straight, because there's been a ******* leaf blower circling below my window all morning and now a heavy, riding lawn mower is coming to cut the grass that hasn't grown since September but has been watered every day even though it froze last night and it's almost November.

Lucifer, Lucifer Black, rotting mind, How can you live With the lies that you wind? Lucifer, Lucifer You claim to destroy But need God's permission For what you deploy. Black Lily of old, Wrecker of worlds, Mover of mountains, Oil slick pearl, The whorls on your forehead, The horns on your head, The eyes in your hands As you dress your dead. You desolate valleys You eat up the land, You grind a man's bones To Sahara sand. In my eye a beam In your eye a mote, The rampant ***** Of a rutting goat. They grow in your belly The flies that you spawn, Maggots in multitudes 10 trillion strong. Yes, out they spew Through your spittle and teeth, The lies propigated From way underneith. O, putrid rose, Who has duplicate skill To create "beauty" To dazzle man's will. But nothing you "make" Is good on this earth, No, nothing you "make" Has any WORTH. O, blighted star, Constellation of hate, Galaxy ghoul Your strength is FINITE. Who runs the show, You aborted SOW? When all's said and done To whom will you BOW? More sooner than late Your end will come In the pit ALONE. With no one to *** Who'll put you there, Bound in your chains? Why! GOD! Of course... ... for Jesus Christ REIGNS. Soul Survivor Catherine Jarvis (C) February 2014

Lucifer (Ode to Davey M.)
I am the furnace master the pyromaniac the keeper of the warm inviting flame I am the fire, you are my fuel The world is my fuel be not careless, lest the fire consume your mind The flames rule all things They make meaning from nothing They are the mover, the pusher, the guider of all Try to control it, and it finds a way around you If it cannot move around you, it moves through you If not through you, then it finds a new place to rage The flame burns all, though few can see The flame is everywhere, no one is safe It has surely been in your heart, your soul You felt it, And you knew it was there The flame called you to life, and showed you the path, and you knew But knowing how, and doing, are completely different All have felt the flame, but not all know of it Subtlety is the game, straight-forward strength, subtle motion Surely all have felt the lovers passion, and the flame of life Surely you have felt the flame of hatred, or of hunger The fire of anger, of joy, of sorrow Even those who, like me, spend their lives thinking they rule the flame, Are only puppets, actually serving it.

Dreams of a Pyromaniac
When addiction runs deep, Like the blood in our veins, Its impossible to kick, Unlikely to abstain. For we are what we love,   And we love what we are; It’s said that an apple,  From its tree won't roll far. Her parents were junkies, Generations gone by, So deep in her blood, It’d be cruel to deny. I’ve found in resistance, I beat my head on a brick, So no longer at odds, I embrace life as her fix. “Honey, can you fix this?” She says, smiling at the sale. At the lamp I look closely, It stands tired and frail; It's brass tarnished dark,  Its wire is frayed. In my head I say, “No," then, “Sure babe,” someone else said. Believing I’ve dodged one,  I breathe a sigh of relief; We return to our Jeep, and Drive away down the street. Then I glance in the mirror, And what do I see, It’s that LAMP in my back seat, Staring smugly at me. *“This dresser will be cool, In robin's-egg-blue;”* Just describing the hue, I see her almost drool. *“Yeah, natural on top, It's frame painted, then glazed... You’re the best at glueing drawers!”* She adds icing with praise. *“Look, here’s a chair I found, with pretty calico; If you fix it's broken arm, You’ll be my hero! Cuz I am sure it will fetch,  Ten times what I've paid.”* I’m a wage earner no longer, She pays me in accolades. That bowl with mustard yellow, Picture frames of wood & plaster; An old tin box, and this small broach, A barrel chest with leather straps. A jewelry box,  (A lover’s locket found inside) Each purchase she makes, Adds satisfaction, and pride. Her addiction runs deep, She’s my bargain-maker; Not a corporate girl,  But she’s a mover and shaker. Yes, she's my ****** And I am her fix; Together we’re a duo, "Can we peak in your attic?" In my chair as I write this, I feel something, turn and see; And there pinned to the cushion,  Is a price tag poking me. Now I’m nervous as a cat, Wouldn’t want to fall asleep; For fear I could wake up,  In the back of someone else's Jeep!

Let mans Soule be a Spheare, and then, in this, The intelligence that moves, devotion is, And as the other Spheares, by being growne Subject to forraigne motion, lose their owne, And being by others hurried every day, Scarce in a yeare their naturall forme obey: Pleasure or businesse, so, our Soules admit For their first mover, and are whirld by it. Hence is't, that I am carryed towards the West This day, when my Soules forme bends toward the East. There I should see a Sunne, by rising set, And by that setting endlesse day beget; But that Christ on this Crosse, did rise and fall, Sinne had eternally benighted all. Yet dare I'almost be glad, I do not see That spectacle of too much weight for mee. What a death were it then to see God dye? It made his owne Lieutenant Nature shrinke, It made his footstoole crack, and the Sunne winke. Could I behold those hands which span the Poles, And tune all spheares at once peirc'd with those holes? Could I behold that endlesse height which is Zenith to us, and our Antipodes, Humbled below us? or that blood which is The seat of all our Soules, if not of his, Made durt of dust, or that flesh which was worne By God, for his apparell, rag'd, and torne? If on these things I durst not looke, durst I Upon his miserable mother cast mine eye, Who was Gods partner here, and furnish'd thus Halfe of that Sacrifice, which ransom'd us? Though these things, as I ride, be from mine eye, They'are present yet unto my memory, For that looks towards them; and thou look'st towards mee, O Saviour, as thou hang'st upon the tree; I turne my backe to thee, but to receive Corrections, till thy mercies bid thee leave. O thinke mee worth thine anger, punish mee, Burne off my rusts, and my deformity, Restore thine Image, so much, by thy grace, That thou may'st know mee, and I'll turne my face.

Good Friday, 1613. Riding Westward
Let mans Soule be a Spheare, and then, in this, The intelligence that moves, devotion is, And as the other Spheares, by being growne Subject to forraigne motion, lose their owne, And being by others hurried every day, Scarce in a yeare their naturall forme obey: Pleasure or businesse, so, our Soules admit For their first mover, and are whirld by it. Hence is't, that I am carryed towards the West This day, when my Soules forme bends toward the East. There I should see a Sunne, by rising set, And by that setting endlesse day beget; But that Christ on this Crosse, did rise and fall, Sinne had eternally benighted all. Yet dare I'almost be glad, I do not see That spectacle of too much weight for mee. What a death were it then to see God dye? It made his owne Lieutenant Nature shrinke, It made his footstoole crack, and the Sunne winke. Could I behold those hands which span the Poles, And tune all spheares at once peirc'd with those holes? Could I behold that endlesse height which is Zenith to us, and our Antipodes, Humbled below us? or that blood which is The seat of all our Soules, if not of his, Made durt of dust, or that flesh which was worne By God, for his apparell, rag'd, and torne? If on these things I durst not looke, durst I Upon his miserable mother cast mine eye, Who was Gods partner here, and furnish'd thus Halfe of that Sacrifice, which ransom'd us? Though these things, as I ride, be from mine eye, They'are present yet unto my memory, For that looks towards them; and thou look'st towards mee, O Saviour, as thou hang'st upon the tree; I turne my backe to thee, but to receive Corrections, till thy mercies bid thee leave. O thinke mee worth thine anger, punish mee, Burne off my rusts, and my deformity, Restore thine Image, so much, by thy grace, That thou may'st know mee, and I'll turne my face.

II Donna leggiadra il cui bel nome honora L’herbosa val di Rheno, e il nobil varco, Ben e colui d’ogni valore scarco Qual tuo spirto gentil non innamora, Che dolcemente mostra si di fuora De suoi atti soavi giamai parco, E i don’, che son d’amor saette ed arco, La onde l’ alta tua virtu s’infiora. Quando tu vaga parli, O lieta canti Che mover possa duro alpestre legno, Guardi ciascun a gli occhi ed a gli orecchi L’entrata, chi di te si truova indegno; Gratia sola di su gli vaglia, inanti Che’l disio amoroso al cuor s’invecchi.

Sonnet 02
my skin is thin and swimmingly scrim. the moonface pushpulls me. i am moved too much. i am not enough mover. i am ***** given, all too often. i am not me - i am you in your supine palm. i matter little. my molecules are fast becoming transparent, vibrating with the sound of your voice, which seems real -so real- real like when the kitchen sink disposal runs.

He is a mover and a shaker And he’s certainly no Quaker! Donnie Trotter from Chicago is his name. Whatever was he thinking? This man from the land of Lincoln. When he tried to bring a gun aboard a plane? He’ll pontificate when pressed (Just to get it off his chest) How guns are bad And people shouldn’t buy them. His acts are against the law He himself had voted for- I wonder if the State Will charge and try him. Were he Conservative and White- Not a Liberal, Black as night- Voices would be raised that we should fry him. It’s Hypocrisy at its best And this man has failed the test In Chicago guns are banned And for good reason- If the victims could fight back, What would be the fun in that? Only criminals have guns This hunting season.

he wasn’t so much a peddler (as many had quietly assumed) more of a rural shuffler or social inchworm than a mover and a shaker but boy could he dish out those jabs and ad lib on a whim and draw sweet melodies from that broken 6 string all night long carving out reflections oh, those deep intuitive divinations! steadily preaching on the breathtaking joys and fruits of the vibrant land *grow your own seeds to be sown clean and green a nourishing machine!* silver linings (straight from truth room) clearly seen from those uncompromised garden views casting his baited lines from softly pebbled shores (his nanna, and poppa were there, years before) giving grace… and basking deeply in the bounty of the fenua his love of life was insatiable moving from town to town to nourish his soul digging way beyond the deep for that shrouded purpose that soulful existence that many spend a lifetime looking to find three boats settle in the quiet harbor a net shed basking in the sand peaceful and serene (with a hint of emerald green) Sunset red with crawfish (and lemongrass) to keep us bountifully fed

It’s the year of gloom and the day’s morbid Never morning enough, clouds – they forbid The mood is on the brink – of an imprecise dawn Chugging on like a mundane mover in lawn Sanity is in the black – grief is at peak. All is fine with the world – not but with me.

When I'm with my baby I know I'll always have a job She keeps my life so busy I'm never nodding off Occupational hazard Is what my baby breeds I feel like Merle...always Haggard If you know what I mean Some days she is a walk in space Guess that makes me an Astronaut Other days a Florist As I arrange her Forget Me Nots I've even been a Farmer When she leaves me standing out in left field Also working in the Dairy As she cries over spilt milk This girls is definitely a workout So add Body Builder to my resume And some of the things I've found out I'd put the NSA to shame Don't forget Taxi Driver As she runs me all over town Also Professional Mover With my heart continually moving South I've become a top notch Surgeon The times that my hearts removed And a teacher of higher education When each lesson learned is new Yes, when I'm with my baby I know I'll always have a job As she keeps my life so busy No way am I nodding off
