"newfound" poems
That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

Ah yes, the magic of human touch, Trusting to warm my soul's skin Tis nature of loves connection, as such. My body accepts, oh if you only knew Like an honored guest, I grin Anticipating the pleasures, one of the few. Skin to skin, our bodies converse. Uninhabited, my mind wander Deep inside, my craving thirsts. Artful hands sculpt with purpose Lulling layers open, you're quite the artist Soothing caress melt my body formless I'm yours, silently, I surrender. As my flesh cries out for more Arching waves of splendor Rewarded my senses sated. With newfound clarity reborn Mind, body and spirit replenished. I thank you for your gift of touch. Lovingly, I would return the favor, as such.

Touch
You are the light That hides below the horizon I await humbly for your rays To illuminate this darkened season You are the beacon That would build me anew Equip me with newfound notions When dreams and hopes are far and few You are the air Of a fresh new start Allowing this body another chance At retrieving a brand new heart You are the opportunity Held my breath for far too long Soon be granted to live again And choose the right from the wrong You are the day Like many have too often said Due to arrive after tonight And embrace me as I laid in bed You are the tomorrow The promise of my brand new day But there have been many tomorrows That have come and gone away You are my tomorrow My future, bearing much needed balm Maybe tomorrow I may finally realise That you would never ever come

She is the first springtime shower a fresh promise of something new The foundation to newfound life around her a persona of all that is true Soon, she is a summer downpour A welcome respite from scorching heat Every drop i crave, every storm near surrounds me Her water is soon air, an overwhelming necessity Later, an autumn storm. Accompanied by a bite A wind so harsh and bitter Makes me forget her first spring life And lastly, a soft snowfall. Her floods have turned to ice Frozen and forgotten The damage heals with time Storms must come full circle none truly have an end But to have known this girl, What a privilege. She was a living monsoon, a friend.

Lies! Money is greed, greed is money, Credit is given to the wrong types of people. The stupid ones who were not taught How to behave with their newfound freedom And systems of fake income! Don't spend what you do not have, But they believed they had everything. Love. Money. *** Fame and fortune, the world Was in their hands! Until it all crashed down in 1929

Superficial Prosperity
it ain't easy, when you relate, restrict and delegate, when you draw a narrow lane on a highway that says only left footed poets need apply <> it does not say **slow cars stay to the right, only trucks, or oddly even, no trucks** I love seasonality, without thickly thinking you take a break from the poetry writing one day I'll figure out a way to monetize my love poems, publish them as Shakespeare's couple(t)s, "new edition plus a couple of newfound poems!" maybe some fools will buy some thinking Shakespeare has been, resurrected! *love grows goes hot all over and grow slower older and grow colder, in between those fine ticklish teasing moments* when the miracle of resurrection repeats itself something is said a gesture is made a finger strokes the cheek, unexpected and it all comes rushing back again, overfilling that coffee cup mug she bought just(ice) for you *ain't gonna check how long it's been since last I declaimed, disclaimed, inflamed, these pages with an only love poem but I do know this: it is something I think about, It is something I know about, it is something I feel about daily even on the nothing days, when routine takes over I know you couldn't remember of its passage, is the waking up and the lying down to sleep* but the poets eyes are always open his emotive secret senses, always alert, what's that thing they always say, his heart just wasn't in it!

when love grows old
From the heavenly embers the phoenix rises. It opened its scarlet eyes and saw the world blanketed in darkness. Its cries reverberating in the dim valley, paternal love it sought. Woe is the phoenix for not a creature came and all it did was for naught. With tears in its eyes till sunrise it waited. Filled with indignation the phoenix flew. For it realized that as a newborn it was cheated. With only the support of itself the phoenix grew. Time passed peacefully in the valley. The phoenix' wings have now grown fully. Then the phoenix’ adventurous spirit was suddenly ignited. With newfound courage the phoenix soared, clearly it is excited. It was fearful yet ecstatic for the world full of the unknown. The phoenix said farewell to the place it once had grown. It desired to wander the world hoping to meet with its kin. The phoenix is very lonely and hoping for one’s happiness isn’t a sin. Many beasts quickly hid when they saw the phoenix near. When they saw the flames blazing they can only shiver in fear Sighing with regret for it wants to make a friend. But fate has been cruel and fear was its desire’s end. It traversed thousand of mountains And experienced countless rains It hoped and prayed fervently to the glorious entity above To grant its wish, to experience love To be continued...

"Ode to the Phoenix (I)"
In depth there's only fear and disbelief deeper you will find nothing else just void the courage is only the drop on the surface wearing it like my favourite dress not many times there is rage it intensifies how I feel using every other emotions as fuel it burns them After the fire Tired enough not to think much and in a bad situation as such I fall asleep Waking the regret funnily it keeps on returning the cycle ongoing bury it within I am emotionless with too many emotions dancing improved a lot in masking happy with my newfound skill.

Completely Emotionless
The first new star flashed waves of blue tonight , securing my belief in the afterlife A grove of ferns lit my imagination For I became a shipwrecked captain - that stumbled upon an island nation Exploring the deep jungle without machete , potable water nor compass Knee deep in mangrove forest Tropical winds whispered and moaned A lean-to of fronds became my maritime home In the presence of a million stars An army of sand ***** paraded before - their newfound master from near and afar Crashing waves lulled a poor sailor to rest The whispers of Poseidon A dream about a lookout in the crows nest Counting orbs in the tail of the Milky Way- with visions of mermaids , ghost ships and rogue waves

Skipper for a Spell ....
Here rests a future Untouched and eager for light Wanting to exude its aromas of which I neither looked nor cared. She handed me the match fresh, burning bright, a new sense in my familiar room. Baffling confusion overtook as I blew her match so stubborn to extinguish in a faint stream of smoke still thinning. Was I the stubborn? Subsequent darkness overtaking Once a sweet home Now a paralyzing loneliness. Match burnt, candle gone future still… Will another offer to light my dark corners --myself willing, with a newfound scent? A day may come to end my night, but I only care to see the one I once hid from.

The Chains of ones fate are undenyable, as life carries on, Servants caught in a hell of rebirth without ever escaping, A red thread which leads verily onto a destined pathway, Decisions, the pen and the ink for ones book of destiny, They may ruin the servant, or bring them great happiness, May mislead, trick, ****** or even manipulate them without their conciousness or understanding of the weight they brought upon their poor little, yet precious bodies which carry on depression as if it was the weight of the world or far beyond that registered mass, In a hole with seemingly no escape to it, trapped in misery, Chains of suffocating pressure are keeping them in place, Oh what a terrible fate it must be to be in this position, Patience, hope and positivity are needed to see another ray of sunlight, shining beyond the scene of the darkened clouds above Once this trial has been overcome they too will shine with newfound strengh, energy and relieving glee from within themselves, So fight on, you precious souls, you are worth more than you might think or would even admit to yourselves, then shine That would be, a great wish of mine ~ Umi

*as winter acquiesces to the blazing sun a soothing breeze softly grazes tips of aspen gently shedding past liaisons a perfect panacea allowing wild freedom for summer’s dawn healing from the ominous night a flower gingerly releases its grasp leaning into golden rays of summertime keenly aware of newfound vulnerability it yawns into the light a rousing essence induces a silhouette of life once thought lost prodding river’s rigid ice blue crystals to melt and flow with buoyant wonder kaleidoscopic-like waves having weathered near annihilation a sculptured consciousness remains painting summer clouds with soft-hued wisdom all awakens from the dream and should the cold return once more the sun will shine again ©2016janetaylor

A self confessed dreamer One that knew no bounds Can't keep his mind in tether It's always fleeing from the grounds He'd always been the dreamer Picking the shackles of reality Always hopeful of finding another A safe haven, an escape, a sanctuary Madness is thought of this silly little dreamer Forever bartering reality for a life of fantasy "He's moonstruck", said one to the other Obstinate still he chooses to wander free Alas one day, he stumbled upon a jewel Glistening, deceivingly within arm's reach But a beautiful game was played so cruel Fate wouldn't give easily what it could teach Glimpses of undefined beauty Himself drawn closer to this beacon He craves for this gem so madly Didn't care for what's to happen He descended to the surface One thing he just did realise That the jewel wasn't in its place But a reflection of another in the skies He looked up, he spun and he squinted Attempting this search he had just begun For a moment he found himself to be blinded For the jewel is indeed the sun He marvels at her beauty Till his eyes turned red and sore But he doesn't stop even briefly For she's the object of his adore He gazes at his newfound muse Till the day grew dim and late When she sets he would hesitate and refuse To return willingly to his ****** state Through promise he returns daily To catch his sun as she would rise For she fills him with aplenty And she listens to his forlorn cries He loves her much as she did him In each other's magic the two would bask As time flits by, the day grows dreadfully dim Too short a time from dawn till dusk The dreamer waits patiently As dusk turns to dawn The dreamer waits painfully For she will come then she'll be gone This rise is somewhat special For his love he had made known She admits the love is reciprocal For him her love had also grown But the dreamer will soon come to realise Out of reach his sun he can never kiss Her bountiful love will be the ultimate prize The prize he can never claim to be fully his *"Silly little dreamer feeding your childish dreams" "Silly little dreamer what fanciful notions you make" "Silly little dreamer you'll be ripped at the seams" "Silly little dreamer not every heart you just can take"* He pays no heed to what the others say He knows his chances run exceedingly slim He's walking on tightrope that's doomed to fray But what happens today is what really matters to him I am that silly little dreamer Whose feet is never on the ground I have chosen to live part of my life in wonder For it is you that I have found

By my dearest angel Zadkiel as he moves in a clear path, round, rhytmically, step by step his gears lead him through the passing time. A golden sight, sparkling, twinkling from the reflection of light. Locking me, tugging me, embracing me into the deepness of my own thoughts, which unfold, bloom and become happy memories. As reality and illusion become one, on the peak of their pleasure, By time ticking on, now they share the same heart. This golden coloured pocket watch, cuts through the darkness within me, with my very own wishes as I yet sink deeper into deeper thoughts, hypnotic, pleasant, I watch how the minute passes. The memories created by these thoughts are becoming love, So that the world I inhabit in is filled with even more light Tick, tock, making delicate sounds, as he moves unconditionally, Round and round again until the time has come and he is put to rest. As then with newfound strengh, he repeats his daily duties as an source of energy, an ember of determination enters him. And so, another smile has been cast on me by his gentle movements. ~ Umi

Angel Zadkiel
If I get lost, promise you'd leave me be Let me walk alone in my circles I'll find my way back...almost instinctively Through looping thoughts and scribbles If I should trip, promise you'd let me fall Scrape my knee and scream a voiceless scream Weight of the universe may seem crushing to shoulders so small I'll walk it off and regain newfound steam If I show signs of buckling, promise you'd let me collapse into nothing Let me fold into myself...into an unnoticeable speck There is solace in this space when the walls are caving Soon I would reinvent and renew from that wreck If I suffer a cut, promise you'd just let me bleed Let the black of my soul gush out Within it I would find the seed To which all of my rantings are about If I should begin to write, promise you'd read my scrawls Take them as they are and not to heart Just thoughts versus words that mean much or nothing at all They'd stitch me anew when I start to break apart If I keep losing myself, promise that you'd let me be The circles I tread are very much predictable They'd always lead me around... Don't treat me differently Just stay where you are... I'll come back round, fresh and able...

Once there was a little boy With dreams that touched the sky He was the darling first born son Apple of his mother's eye He was polite and kind to all Regardless of their age But never took kindly to those Who would put his mind into a cage So while his mother loved him so He only made his father frown And over the years his heart was crushed By the man who only put him down Approval is a funny thing; It changes someone's life In bulk it makes receivers shine, In absence kills the heart with strife So the little boy just ran away Find love in other ways And ending up more broken Limping through each God-forsaken day He wasted quite a bit of time Feeling sorry for himself Until finally he grew up some And put old feelings on the shelf "It's time to relocate," he thought "Time to make a name for me." It was time to take control of his life Decide his own destiny Then some girl came waltzing in, Botching his newfound plan, Eyes a portal to a lovely soul And blemishless heart outstretched in hand. This couldn't happen, not again He wouldn't change his mind This boy had places to go and be And love was just not worth the time So he packed up all his things again His "life" a sentimental might say And with out even a goodbye Ran like hell the other way.

Once There Was a Little Boy...
*Venturing out Into the woods. Everything behind her Is in Black and white - Grey, but with a hope-filled Blue sky. Her red butterfly Carries her transformed ideals Within - it's always hovering close-by. With every forward step, Away from this manipulated painful reality, The scenery is painted, Bringing it all to life - A rainforest green; Her sacred canopy. Vivid, Ever so bright, Be it, by day, Or, be it, by night. Black and white do not exist On this side of her world - There's no grey! Here, even shadows embrace The blessed, illuminated, Brilliant, pure light. Doom, Gloom, And dullness, Instantaneously banished! Momentously replaced by An addictive, elated state of vitality - A miraculous invisible substance; She embraces her newfound sanity! Insanity just vanished! Her aura Paints her surroundings, They are so alive - In high definition, in full colour. There are no toxins here, No sorrow, Nothing is needed, Time stands still - No need to borrow. All of the brokenness Is left behind, She wanders off! - Her soul Free to unwind. Here, she has no fear of heights - There is a sacred comfort In all that is phenomenally high,   And so, In all that grows, From deep down Below. She inhales purity Into her lungs, She exhales All of her noxious emotions, She sighs with relief, As she lets them all go. Sinking her feet Into the rich ground, Each footstep brings her closer To the edge of her world; This is where she is often found. Here, she is free... She asks herself  "To stay, or to go?"  The answer, she already knows, The soft breeze carries This wanderlust decision away, As the free-spirited wind Gently blows. By Lady R.F ©2016*

The manifest has been written And she will be sought But when I meet her face to face How will she react? With a simple embrace? She's so beautiful Smooth skin and a sweet grimace She's always fresh and sharply dressed It's been so long that I've dreamed her Yet her image is so vivid in my mind So many times I thought I could just reach out and grab her Only to awaken to a disappearing mirage But alas dreams become reality And I feel like a groupie around her celebrity Unsure if she's aware of my quiet insecurity Even though I've dreamed Do I deserve to be here? But she merely smiles As she beckons me closer With each step I pinch myself To make sure I truly exist Just as soon as I reach her I close my eyes and enjoy the ride Her embrace is like a sweet kiss to my pride Humbling me effectively Causing my soul to smile and shine Radiating like new armor I open my eyes to drink in my newfound skin And like magic she is gone once again And then I realize She is finally part of me And no longer is reality only in my dreams

DESTINY
Through so many years I ran Afraid and ever cowering The darkness always at my back Voracious, all-devouring Through my mind its black claws reached And picked apart my sanity They scraped all chance of joy away With endless inhumanity Through the days and months and years it chased and clawed relentlessly Eventually I wondered why I ran unending breathlessly Through the dark I turned and looked Pursuit suspended nervously I granted it a name and face It glared with vicious fervency Through its threat I held my gaze And ventured forth an inquiry Its flare of rage could not repress My newfound curiosity Through the long nights we conversed Debating, chatting, bickering The darkness that devoured my life Shrank back, diminished, flickering Through the darkness I now saw With unexpected clarity We spoke as friends, no longer foes Embracing newfound parity Through the dark I look, and laugh My friend now laughs along with me Despite how it had always seemed The darkness is a part of me

*i hope that i flash through your memories, and you remember my pale skin, soft like butterfly wings; fragile like glass, and you remember the simple curves of my body, lying beside your side, on the opposite edge of the bed listening to the early morning doves. i wonder if a memory floats through, and you remember the way my eyelids fluttered in the warm sun rays, covered by cold sheets, protected by warm hands and strong arms. should you remember the way the newfound promise ring, fits upon my skinny finger, and i hope the wrinkles that surround the silver, bring you back to this day, when we were young.*

to you, in your old age
I ENVY the seas of Neptune that he rides, I envy the thrills, Of his royal chariot of May; Gracing these glistening hills. Gaze upon our journey, Love! Where the stars may gleam On our forbidden melody, Bless this love, unto me! I envy lakes of Swans, That flutter on August Eves, That bless a forbidden Love, With newfound Autumn Leaves. Opened is the portal, On this summer's Eve for me, That jewels and diadems of Wealth, Shall never; could never be. I envy our everlasting light, And bells that gently ring Over that fateful evening, That - envy shall bring. Yet interrupt Spring's blossom, Even when our hearts may bleed, Run into this everlasting night, Under the stars with me.

Envy
Fear Judged by irrationality Hidden in accidental oversights Feeding the dragon that leaks molten lava in salty streaks of regret Fear Empty wasted emotion Saving ourselves from ourselves Saving you from me Worst case scenarios never included you punishing me at the sight of my weakness Fear You only love me beautiful Love is a profound type of collective psychosis Looks like strength but hides the truth The truth that certainty is the truest delusion Fear On my best day, in the best possible scenario, I am still invisible Open and still transparent Full and still forgotten Insightful and irrelevant my thoughts pour out unheard Fear In my demon's shadows lives the truth of my vulnerability I am weak because I love you I am a warrior because you love me I am strong because I love you I am a lamb because you love me Fear Spilling my unseen secrets My evil self-talk, my mantra of honest lies The purr of a kitten unsettles a soul beginning to believe it mattered Pain dismissed in the peaceful snores of a tired moon Fear The sun shines in hope on the remnants of dream On the nightmare of forgotten, overlooked, inconsequential truth Empty apologies and the familiarity of beloved anguish Herald the realization, that words don't matter Truth or lies, faithless faithful, and a newfound silence Fear Invisible save for the ash lines that tell the tale Of how I begged forgiveness for sharing my tormented and twisted mind Only to be interrupted by the sounds of your peaceful slumber Fear To be everything to your everything and realize I am still........nothing at all

People are like newfound plants in the nature They can be so beautiful Yet so poisonous Sometimes they are dull Yet so productive and kind Kind in a plant world And people in human world But you will never know who they really are Unless you come close And touch them Unless you take a big risk And spill your thoughts to a stranger

I wait alone wrapped in paper shivering amidst cold the door pressed hard against my chest this time a year ago I met a similar fate the verdict returned        cancer a word my mind has deconstructed reconstructed discarded as my past tears erupt behind my eyes how can I afford to fight again at what cost and during a pandemic the door **** twists as she emerges eyes averted my throat scored in pain "It's benign, come back 6 months from now" unable to move I peer through haze minutes tease silence then with trembling fingers I dial his number Aiden answers     "Mom, you okay?" nodding tearfully with newfound certainty I finally whisper, "Yes!"
