"multifaceted" poems
This heart of ice is multifaceted. This stone cold ice is dense but weeps. There is a shallow trigger that radiates Shy a wade from me; volcanoes are deep.

Depth Perception
*A father's love... whether throughout times of sorrow, or times of glory, is all but shallow.* A father's love is a thunderstorm, rumbling through a once peaceful sleep, finding my awakened soul as company. On the back porch, we seek credence, as we share stories, and simple silence. A father's love is a music tune, carried from good intentions, deep in the lungs. Becoming bellowing blues from a harmonica. A father's love is rolling mountains, as endless as eyes can see, resonating with nature's peace. Where he finds sacred hollows, and gains perspective on his woes. A father's love is a blissful brew, aromatic, donning a frothy cover, incredibly complex underneath. It is a multifaceted flavor, sweet, bitter, delicate, of earth. A father's love is in the now. It is there when the water is muddy; it is there when the mud has settled, and the water is clear. It has nothing but patience. *A father's love... whether throughout times of sorrow, or times of glory, is all but shallow.*

A Father's Love
(what the hell is an incel) the media portrays one loser outcast as every man, as if man is one big-ass monolithic hivemind spewing their loser germs everywhere think we got too much time on our hands at the checkpoint, selfies on various landmark celebrating the evil dead as the hero for the living, graffiti I look good in leather, also I look lovely in the blood of my enemies the hate a multifaceted gem in the cavern of my predatory eyes Would love you to join me in the unit the machine’s got to roll until Friday and then we can hatch our evil scheme man I think I have too much time on my hands

You love, are a multifaceted gemstone. If I gaze at one facet too long I miss the shine of the whole. But I can't stop focusing on The brilliant cut of your crown facet, The glimmering sapphire stare, And the smooth, slick shine Of your pink opal lips. You dazzle me in so many ways, I am rich with love, when you are my treasure.

My Treasure
One broke her, Into thin fibers of glass disarranging a once whole vase A beautiful vase, multifaceted and covered in ornate beauty Intricate, delicate, carefully carved A whole vase, filled to the brim with life and love But what does love look like? She knows not anymore. Two found the vase in ruins, picked up her pieces, mended her and held on to her afraid she would break once more Carefully, protectively she now lived. Given everything, someone who had mended her. Yet she still felt a sense of a missing piece A gap, a hole, a missing fragile piece, unfilled but by One who had broken her Why does she love One who hurt her, who broke her who left her unfilled? Two many times has he mended her back together Yet One is still the missing piece, the gap, the hole, the Vase

Vase Piece
**You are beautifully etched below my skin line Every flaw Every silence felt within my void of emotions Transparent and naked Taking a finger you draw my face up to look at the sun that sets within you Your eyes are multifaceted and delicious Like oceans that I want to bathe within Climbing every wave higher than the last Breathe taking thirst quenching Oh my I am over my own head here Whirling between fear and excitement Lust, love and pain hold me hostage I am tied up in the fortress of my mind And I never will care if I am to stay here for eternity I surrender my power I breath pure ecstasy and release In mine minds eye My muse beckons for beautiful words and a love that is real So here I have given my all My everything When morning comes The sunrise will be my lover The swaying grass will stroke my cheek The warm breeze of summer will caress my silken skin My heart will be full of another days desire My life is my love And my love is my life I shall create something deep Something worthy of my self**

Falling in self
Unanswered uncertainties limber up Unwanted confrontations cumulate Passion deliquescing over unexplored reason Unacknowledged, ignored, overwritten and dismissed Without consideration for his fragile heart The answers flow broiling him, wearing him down Scorn rejection, When trust is misplaced, And she exfoliates to true skin Hatred smothers over her love act Bogs him down by the shoulders All seems empty, all is empty Toyed with, lied to and used up He is a clock rigged for self destruction With no actions that lead to consequences The reason seems bleak and obvious His respect for her dies, His respect for her other doesn't exist She is not the one he loved, she is not the one that he knew A younger him he sees in her other Making the same mistake he did, mislaid trust The multifaceted chameleon that she is The other doesn't see Pouring his heart out and defending her wrongs The other starts to undermine and ignore him Move on they say, Only his heart is too heavy Forget her they say, Only she was a perennial settlement in my memory, he thought Hate her they say, Only he hates himself more for trying No one understands him Everyone tries, but no one understands He loved, he was back stabbed He suffered and suffocated under the blanket of secrets Lighten your heart brother, the mascot of a good soul You will be alright.

One Sided.
In the intricate tapestry of love, the adage "once a cheater, always a cheater" weaves a cautionary thread. It is a phrase laden with the weight of experience, a mantra that whispers of broken trust and shattered vows. When someone treads the path of betrayal, leaving the fragments of a once-whole heart in their wake, the scars run deep. The echoes of deceit reverberate in the corridors of love, leaving those who have been wounded hesitant to trust again. The notion, "once a cheater, always a cheater," emerges as a defense mechanism, a shield against the vulnerability of being deceived once more. Yet, in the realm of love, the narrative isn't always so black and white. People evolve, learn from their mistakes, and yearn for redemption. It's crucial to acknowledge the capacity for change within each individual. While the wounds of betrayal may linger, they need not dictate the course of someone's entire romantic journey. The human experience is multifaceted, and relationships are complex landscapes. People stumble, fall, and sometimes, they rise anew, reshaped by the crucible of their own errors. Love, at its essence, encompasses forgiveness, growth, and the possibility of second chances. So, while the cautionary phrase carries the weight of wisdom, it is equally important to recognize the potential for transformation. People can break free from the chains of their past misdeeds, learn to value trust, and construct relationships founded on honesty and integrity. Love, after all, is as much about healing as it is about the initial spark. In the end the tale of "once a cheater, always a cheater" is not a universal truth but rather a reminder that love demands conscientious navigation. It prompts us to approach relationships with discernment, to treasure the fragility of trust, and to foster an environment where growth and change are not only possible but celebrated.

You've only ever seen yourself twice: once in a reflection, the other in a picture. You've never truly seen yourself, so I'll take the liberty to devote my entire life to describing the extent of your beauty. The first thing everyone notices about you is that smile of yours, dear. It's dazzling. It's distracting. It's absolutely lovely, and no mirror nor picture can ever replicate its splendor. Your warm smile melts the ice, while casual chit chat merely breaks it. When you smile, the edges of your eyes crinkle just the right amount, beckoning amiably. Your laugh is a waterfall and I want to spend my days letting it crash down upon me, I want to drown in its bliss. Your laugh is a lilting balm to the horrors these ears of mine have heard, a soothing caress to my worrisome heart and mind. Your eyes, you underestimate their charm. You belittle them to simple drops of brown darling but they are transformed into pools of hazel, gold, honey, sepia, and cocoa in the sunlight. I call them bedroom eyes. I stare into them not to look at my reflection but to look into your heart. You smile with your eyes sometimes, it's really quite lovely. It's a shame you're not on the receiving end of it. Your hair is absolutely stunning. I could run my hands through it and let my fingers get lost in your curls and meet some bobby pins along the way. You complain of it often, but tracing the lines of your steep curls with my eyes sends me into a happy daze. On numerous occasions I have said it and I will say it again: you feel beautiful. Your skin under mine feels absolutely lovely, my dear. I could spend millennia letting my hands run the length of your gorgeous body. And I'd do it happily, too. I love the little moles you've got on your cheeks and your ironing-board-scar and your lips (both sets). You were born a blank page but now you're a beautiful work of art with depth and shades and texture. Your body is a diamond: it is multifaceted and precious and priceless. And it deserves to be looked at, my dear. I adore your body, sweetheart. From the scoop of your collarbone, to the curve of your back; from the gentle definition in your arms and legs to the stronger curves of your ******* I love the beckoning rise of your hips and your thighs, and the gentle mound of your *** I could spend an eternity painting your body with my kisses, each a silent praise to the masterpiece that is your body.

Though my existence is very minute compared to others, my mind is unrestrained and limitless. My thoughts are inspired by even the smallest speck of dust to the largest of the universes. It is able to imprison the deepest of secrets, but able to reminisce the most distant memory. No one else has the capability to see what I see, to remember what I remember; to the most minuscule detail. From the day I am born till the day I leave this earth. This may sound serene; however there is a constant crusade with my other half. To indicate what is correct and what is erroneous. Occasionally, neither can respond to the problem at hand. Then the ground is neutral till something changes in the outside world. But this inner world is permanently in control. No other power of government or enemy can break in and create a new dictatorship. No soul can relive what I relive in my mind each and every day. Nothing has the force to eliminate what I've seen or done. No power can absorb my multifaceted emotions. As long as I live, my mind is secure, and will always be protected.

Head of Security
She's a pattern and yet so complex-- An entity of incompleteness bound by the voices that tell her "she is nothing"-- A frame unstructured and yet paved by the scars life left on her-- Not an epitome of daintiness but the reflection of a clay that's been molded then chipped to bring forth all at once rugged, sharp, smooth and rough edges-- Multifaceted for she smiles in the light, laughs in the crowds, cries in the night and cringes at the slightest mention of the word "love"-- Self-conscious, never once hearing of a King who thought the world of her-- The irony of dodging people who care only to fall into the traps of the ones who would never care to figure her out-- Similar to a pressed rose-- Pressed into the lives of others, leaving behind residue to the point of self dehydration-- If tears are as perfume, heaven is filled with bottles marked with her name; Daisy-- Born delicate, pure, & soft to the touch-- But over time the petals have been dried , shriveled up into brown nothings that fall fearfully as another heart dares to come near--

To the Great Absolute I pray That when I am gone and Nothing but dust is left of me That I may be remembered For the joy and love I gave and, For my prose and poetry. Intoxicated with enchanted dreams, I strive to weave poetic vistas Filled with magic and illusions, With unfolding multifaceted mirrored images Of things that could or are yet to be; Of joy and measured sadness and Endless impassioned struggles. I seek to capture love's raging fires, Stoked by amorous energies, To illuminate the darkness of despair, Exposing paths to bliss and ecstasies. With awe and reverence of creation, From undulating, azure oceans To canopies of sparkling, starry skies, I script Mother Nature with all her majesty With expansive, fertile fields Filled with irises, lilies, and yellow daffodils; Or snow-capped purple sierras and Eagles circling pristine, placid mountain lakes. I conjure prancing, dancing fireflies On luminescent moonlit nights and Winged horses gliding through the sky Over golden spire peaks that rise From gleaming, ivory castle towers, Or heroic, quixotic noble quests To right wrongs and vanquish evil Until there's peace and harmony. Give me, Great Spirit, the mental dexterity To compose indelible, memorable stories That will be etched in the annals of history. Help open my mind’s eye to peer into eternity. I feel tremors, murmurs in my heart Beating, aching from within, longing To write and write until I'm consumed, Having fulfilled my karmic destiny. Finally, when my pen runs dry It will be my time to die; I pray that at my passing The world will pause and sigh.

There is something intrinsically enchanting about traveling— Meeting small destinies, Feeling the flow of life sweep you along— It’s not all about running away, Or where you end up, Or how fast you go— Rather, it’s about the actual act of Moving Forward. You sit in the car, or on the plane, or in the back of someone’s pickup, and you can see the landscape undergo its natural metamorphosis again and again Into unique multifaceted checkpoints down the list of Things To Experience: People to laugh with, Hands to hold, Memories to make… I look out into the alternating horizon and see ‘Opportunity’ spelled out in the clouds. I look out and can see all the reasons why I should just Take to the wind, Flit and float across vast spaces of life— Set free my spirit of all societal burden for the sake of introspective sentience and honest self-discovery— I get the appeal; I have tasted from the goblet that decadent ambrosia, That flavor by which coats and balms my self-criticizing soul— Soothing away all the hack marks, The pocks and nicks and dents that blemish and tarnish the delicate skin protecting my psyche— I am healed by travel, By taking life seriously as that journey by which to merely ‘enjoy the ride’, By making a literal journey out of life, (Via journeying.) Ah, even as I drive onward, Even as I am propelled ever forward along the Devil’s Backbone, and Montezuma’s Castle, chasing the setting sun, I am already thirsting for more

"Life is I"
I am stuck in this place of begging for someone to listen to me and denying my own desires to talk It is still here – the longing to cry with someone – but it is impossible now. It’s been impossible for so long I don’t know why I even bother with any of it. I don’t know to help her…no one knows how to help her. It doesn’t matter if you feel like a victim or a survivor, or at times, both…it still happened. It was me. It was me lying there – it was my body. I am no longer that little girl but it was undeniably me. I was hurt, I cried, I yielded all of my power to him. Me. It was me. No one helped me. I can’t make that any different. I can’t change that….not through my writing, not by speaking, not inside my mind. I can’t undo it. I want to bury this hurt in an airtight coffin until it suffocates and can no longer damage me. I want to smash the pain with a boulder until it is crushed and no longer alive in me. I am stuck in this place of begging for someone to listen to me and denying my own desires to talk. It all comes back to the forbidden words of trust and need and I’m having a difficult time trying to shift and re-position myself in a positive, healing way. It’s difficult to get the words out without the tears and emotions. And I won’t cry in front of anyone. There are times when I am aching with the desire to talk about difficult things and I hold back. Why? Multifaceted…complicated question and an equally complicated answer. First, there is a part of me that does not trust anyone, or even want to trust anyone. A part of me is embarrassed at the Nita that will be seen when the tears start. It is not the me that everyone knows…it’s the miserable, self-indulgent, childish, hopeless me. And I cannot risk being seen like that. And there’s a third reason…it feels incredibly undignified to cry in front of someone when they just sit there…silent and unmoving.  Late at night, when it is overwhelming and relentless, I ache for someone to talk to about this pain, someone who loves me, not someone who is paid to listen.

Way out in its own oasis Its very own brand of homeostasis Passed the jarred ideas and whacked out mazes Is a spot Full of unknown faces Hailing from unknown places Look at it, fall out with out protracted traces Vacant lot Then let's settle the score What is your original face before your mom and dad were born? Why not start over with a clean slate, as the smell of new dawns pervade I forgot to eat Maybe if you gave the derelict half a chance And looked at things from the ambivert's stance People wouldn't notice your ego's protuberance Upstaged by an under study Pull the button, turn the lever, push the switch and flip the **** Predicate the incendiary infraction Reductio ad absurdum Lip service provides scrutiny We've been normalized, what the recipe for ice? We're full of emptiness, nothing exists No-thing, not a thing does not exist Life is deathless I'm looking for multifaceted individuals To fix something that's irreparable   An eerie parable, something terrible My future's told by flash cards I put my head between my knees Just wipe my memory Leave me at the bottom of the sea Leave my dignity to discard When two separate divisions are over lapping What's the sound of one hand clapping? Comparing then and now every now and then Again, never will I say"never again" -Tommy Johnson

The Last Dandelion-Eyelash Wish
Cross things off Instead of erase and feel lost but you dont have to think I am lame because its too late to wear aviators-since its not the summer and I got arthritis. Feeling swept up in fall like brushing leaves off the sidewalk I was captain bazaar with my sidekick flying in on a broken engine smoke rushing out the side trying to lift a plane the subsequent pain in my wrists and the rest of my limbs brought me to this bridge its another thing; multifaceted. clever coat and correct.

I am retooling myself Into the man, who honors integrity with daily exercise, Into the words of a poem, a new stanza added daily, Into the notes of a song, yet to be complete, Into the symphony p, a theme that lifts, soaring above the commonplace, Into the jewel multifaceted, colors deep and husky, Into the essences of love, always learning, dispensing hatefulness, Into the fury of a great warrior ennobled with heroism, Into the dexterity of fingers that dispense living kindness, Into the vibrancy of an orchid, born from tiny seed and falls soil, Into the vessel science and technology constantly reforms, evolute, Into the words of a book before his eyes, before closing time, clutched with purebred pride.

Retooling Myself
What an umbrageous day Heavy downpour cleaning soul city streetlights unburdened back beckoned bright eye and high The cleansing of the spirit New rain beginnings relinquishing old dirt and washed all resentment that peels away like rotten orange rinds revealing the musty moth-eaten underside of the teenage psyche It’s a beacon of light, a point in the celestial wake of night The true-burning ember amidst the counterfeit glows of the day to day drudgery of a mundane Human existence Who cower and hide from head to toe in plastic wrap and duct their senses with sticky ignorance Who wander and wonder upon the multifaceted raindrop that caresses each fleshy pore with motherly love Who drift effortlessly up misty parking garages up sweaty chimney stacks down missing fire escapes In the tundra of weary dreary winter bite Cold suspects stand innocent on frozen street corner What an umbrageous day. Overcast. Raining. Like open wounds rinsed clean to be healed by and forgotten in time The fractals are hard to miss even in the gathering puddles [written about getting high. April 2010.]

Umbragia
Tears vermilion reflecting the night, St Elmo's fire burning bright, Sea sick sailors pray for the light Doomed and forgotten nets are dry. Albatross soars, wings of flight Guiding the lost with cries of gulls, Let us laugh at their misfortune, Schadenfreude Styx flows too soon, Gold on each eyelid The Titans shall have their due. Hyperion weeps to Neptune's view As Icarus burns to seas of blue And the sails catch on, Enlightened by the Dawn multifaceted hue. Scarlet prism gems Reflect the fallen, truth Through crimson tinted lens.

§ What umbrage have I committed against my love? Which insult weighs heaviest upon her patience? My callous actions continually hurting the one I desire above all others. Is it my carelessness? My failure to think before acting? Is it my salacious nature that overwhelms her multifaceted heart? How does one acquire forgiveness? What must a man do, to clean the slate of his transgressions? Must I suffer, if so then leaving me alone this way is punishment enough. But if angry words need be vented then vent them upon me. I shall remain silent until your rage subsides, and you give me leave to speak once again. Forgive my umbrage my love. I hold my tongue in anticipation. I will do all I must to earn your forgiveness. Until then, I wait faithfully for your hand to reach through the walls of my solitude, and drag me back into your incomparable embrace.

Umbrage
Stand firm young explorer, our reality is before your eyes. The path of least resistance comes and goes with the reading of the signs. Do not reach beyond their grasp dear astronaut, for you can only hold what you must. And your disinclined stance may start to sway, towards a book of spiritual trust. A compass of lost translation, which has been tattered by the evolution of our time. Sown together by imperfect hands and tongues, of the righteously divine. Or instead you stumble towards numbered texts and the collection of mans thoughts. Classified, organized, and defined in complex logical knots. A thorn bush of intricate perceptions of our multifaceted human condition, subjected to nothing more than our screaming birth and our timely decomposition. But fear not my naive trekker, for the decision is yours to hold. Either with nail in hand or the hammer made ready, may your heart be ever so bold. And though the philosophical plates of these worlds seem to diverge from once connected fates, the heavens you come to find as a result may be behind different gates. Only you hold the key to open your ever changing mind, one carved by humble carpenter hand or molded by mankind. So step lively youthful sailor for the winds are at your back, and the house from which you build your truth comes of brick or with cross-bared plaque. Worry not of your inaction little voyager, for the world will not react. The world remains in constant motion, and will force you to interact. Whether several days of creation must pass or a bang of creative juice, it is you who must chose to dive in the water or walk above man’s made truth. So good luck my inexperienced hiker as the waves of decision roll in. May the solace you find in the choices you make be without regrettable sin. I pray the stars you look to at night point you toward your goal, and that you find a balanced understanding of the earth and your spiritual soul.
