"occurrences" poems
I. The heart is clumsy, our thoughts provoking disaster when pulling on the wrong strings before the storm, and after. II. You and I, encompass the sky that hovers above us holding clouds that serve purpose to embellish or destroy waiting for the wind to mould us into strange shapes tugging at others’ curiosity not knowing what we are or where we’re going. III. Muffled speech, blinding weather in his eyes, today we are not raining together drop by drop He falls and changes, beauty into anger, I await on a lonely ground to catch him. IV. We exist in all shades, unpredictable, beautiful, converging into one another calming the anxious souls that we transport to the heavens above. V. I watch the sun and moon alternate, natural occurrences, I notice just like the thoughts that feel like clouds in my head when my heart reminds me of him at an ungodly time of night striking me like lightening, thunder echoing between these ears that long for the voice of an angel instead.

a cerebral grasping of existence’s resplendence is insufficient tenuously treading bereavement’s tide i cradle life twinkling moments spent on this planet are hallowed time i walk in quiet reverence as tears flow at innocuous occurrences god’s face aglow in each instance perspective revived a bumblebee drifting gently settles evoking awe i stand pensive aforetime unaware in cathedrals we stand eyes newly uncovered awakened discover celestial dimensions people replete with infinite spirit are all that surround my senses abruptly adjusting their focus ‘tis an earthly angelic realm ©2016janetaylor

i walk in quiet reverence
Can't sleep, it's always the same. I get to my room, exhausted, lie in my bed, Close my eyes and the Sleepless Fairy decides to take the reins of the situation. Maybe if I go to my computer and surf for a while I could doze off. Maybe I'll go out and have a cigarette to calm the Fairy. No, this insomnia is different. I can't fix it with simple solutions. This wakefulness is not due to the anxiety of an exam, or the diffidence I have for that one girl I can't get out of my head. This insomnia is that small sparkle of uncertainty that has abounded my mind for a long time. That feeling of vagueness, of yearning. Yearning of what? I don't know. It is simply that feeling that I'm missing something, whatever it is. I go around the whole day in my mind, what am I missing? What am I forgetting? During the day I'm acquiescent, lucid, happy. But come night... time to go to bed. Time to perform the daily check for recent events. Catalog the occurrences with different feelings, accommodated to their respective memories. But there's something missing. I curse the Fairy and its 1001 tricks that keep me awake and conscious about that which is in the subconscious. Will the day come when the Fairy shows up no more? As long as that feeling is housed in me, like a parasite clogged on its new victim, the Fairy will keep visiting.

Insomnia
The drug The high The confusion The craving The withdrawal The brain feels overwhelmed The noise creates chaos in my mind The silence I seek The alone time I need The anxiety kicks in Struggling to breathe... Overthinking creates an addiction, to the things that cause mind suppression. My mind is noisy, with thoughts of occurrences that have happened, and some not. I try not to depress myself, but mistakenly think too far in the future, then get disappointed because expectations have not been reached. Busy, distracted, chaotic, and unfocused. I reach no end to where my mind goes... A path of little thoughts that creates an explosion and downfall. I crave the drugs to give my mind a rest. To give it a sense of peacefulness... I have failed lifes tests. Tense, tight, my mind implodes. Burn my thoughts and bury them in ashed coal. Cannot sleep Cannot close my eyes Always in a state of overthinking... Like my brain is constantly blinking

Overthinking
Distant learning courses in the heart Irrelevant actions have left us all apart Acquisitions decaying those stray minded people It's no longer a commonplace to feel peaceful Simultaneous occurrences have our mind in disarray Through our pasts they begin to replay All these calamitous activities brought through maleficent eyes Disintegrate what's left sending us in a fools paradise We reap to elope from these rigorous bearings we call home Only to find ourselves cast away into the unknown We strive to survive in a world full of abhorrence Being seen transparent just as worthless corpses Those few who prevail are not left without detriment They are forever severed a mental delinquent **Nevertheless our story lives on In this godforsaken marathon** -Joseph B Schneider

Your touch closes my eyes I let your words traumatise my mind Your breath dampens my skin, Provoking apocalyptic thoughts from within The trickle of your touch Is eating at my mind, I keep your desires fed, Thirst and hatred intertwined Disrupting my insides My lips escape discordant harmonies, As in you I confide, That the truth's foreign to my eyes You remain my fixation A sinister hallucination Occurrences of formination Are my self-rehabilitation

Tactile Hallucinations
Why do we hurt. Over such obvious human occurrences. He and she. Them and it. Society tells us beauty lies within. Yet we are unable to see true beauty. Death come quick. To the one who waits and hopes. Death is beauty.

Death is beauty
Thy velvety pink lining has revolted against thy most honorable wishes. 'tis now an angry, burning red! Much like the doomy pits of hell! And hell is how one should describe thee. But why? Why doth thy choose such a path? could one have followed an alternate? will thy destiny have changed? Explosions as mighty as all the worlds volcanoes oozing pain, thy knees tremble like an earthquake One can no longer enjoy the purity of ones skin One can no longer live carefree If kept a secret, thy shall be no different than a murderer! A soothing touch. Although, the rain hath left no moisture. The grounds crack and ache for a new rain to fall. Thou shalt not ponder such occurrences...for will it come? One has high hopes. As high as the heavens.

STD's
Sometimes I feel pretty or cute or even beautiful but those occurrences are very rare for me because I'm not pretty or cute or beautiful and then you came along and you started to tell me how cute how pretty how beautiful I am but I never believed you because I knew you were lying but you kept telling me how cute how pretty how beautiful I am and I started to look at myself differently when I walked past the mirror but I never thought I was cute or pretty or beautiful

Cute
Freedom of choice, can never be Rather, a designed destiny With Accidents, default settings by design Coincidences, planned occurrences in time Surroundings, attracted by rhyme Then what, is the influence of time? A matrix known, to only a few The rest a drift, never knew Only filling gaps, for the few Like sheep, alive in meadow On man’s command, they go Slaughter sheering feeding, they never know So, do we really want them to row? Do they want to row? Do we actually harvest what we sow? Or is it just, part of the flow?

ALL AN ILLUSION
Heed these words, write them upon the tablet of your mind for I have returned. When you finally come to the point in your life and comprehend that the dreams with which you have been bestowed are to be used as a blueprint, you then and only then will win remarkable success in what ever calling that you adopt. You will begin to visualize things with a much greater understanding and you will experience sights stranger than you have ever seen before. You will know that these new visions are all true, for you will see that you have been given the ability to pick out and notice clusters of confirmations and on an imaginary scale. The fear of premonitions and ignoring notable occurrences by dismaying them all off as if they are just figments of your imagination is to be avoided. It is not out of random chance, the thought that things are bound to line up from time to time and for no apparent reason or that evolution had a major impact on us to evolve into begins to recognize pattern recognition, but rather, it is to be construed as if you have been blessed with the gift of foresight and you will notice that you are able to think and speak things into existence. Never again will you live with the fear of the unknown for you will know all. The truth of all things will manifest themselves and be disclosed to you in a vivid clear contrast. There will be many people who will find it extremely difficult to interpret what is being explained to them and in the process they will then start to display that they are trapped within there own gridlocked mind and be confused with just your mere presence. You will find that people who do not understand you will then try to get you to conform to what they see, ignore them. Life is but an enigma, one that is full of complex-ed riddles, when you accept to follow your dreams and with an open objective you will then have the opportunity to harness all its power and in return all the pieces of the puzzle will be spread out for you for your taking. Once you find the first piece, you then will be given the license required to take part of this phenomenon so you can complete life's grander picture found outside the ivory tower. You will know with all certainty that you are not dreaming and that what you are witnessing is not a mirage, that is until, the silver cord be loosed, after that, when death finds its way to sting and the grave can then claim its victory, welcome and accept a Re"quies'cat In Pa'ce. As always, Welcome to the show!

Let me paint you a picture Using nice long strokes And beautifully vivid colors And as with most works of art My muse is the tale of two lovers Plus one, two, three Or was it four others I seem to have lost count With re-occurrences and all And their masks seem to blur As I get lost in our thrall I tell you love is like a sun Beautiful to look at But will blind you If you stare just a little too long Unable to see a single mistake When everything is going wrong So I paint over the visages Of him, him, her, and him But the paint is just not thick enough How could it be? When the stain of betrayal Isn’t quite painted, but carved When the knives in the back Sink through to the heart And while it’s true That the color of apology Works well as a cover-up Only time truly hides scars And that’s what you wanted Wasn’t it Was time apart? But it’s just not right That you got to make that call Without even a fight You just want to call it a night So go ahead and sketch the dark And I will paint the stars Because that’s what we are Memories mirrored in paint From the nights Where you cried and I kissed you To the days Where our phone calls Ended with I miss you And I know You’re not cursed with the memory People think I’m blessed with So let this serve to remind you Of when times were best and Then maybe you’ll feel some regret Not the kind where watercolors Stain your perfect portrait I’m talking about life changing emotion So that maybe there won’t be reprints Sold at every corner auction I want something hung in a museum Something people would traverse The world to see And when they do They don’t know what they feel Because it’s hard to believe That it’s even real Seeing love with its contrast And how you treated it Like a contract Made with an expiration date Set even since our first date When you gave me that brush Inspiring me to paint So that is what I did And this is its masterpiece And now I guess I need a new brush

When I reached in to clean off the glitter on your face, Did your throat ache because of the unheard voice? When I said: relax I won't kiss you did the unheard voice say: "I wish you would!"? This then music that was denied All the times I didn't touch you, did you shiver and get chills? Did my wondrous breath caress your hairs then? Did your follicles once wake? Leading to yawning pores Inviting the warmth, of a touch, and the moist excretion of the connection thereof And your dry lips with lines dividing symbolizing the walls of your soul yet to be broken and your bright eyes when the right words are spoken Or the nerve-wrecking look that had me choking I was myself and I truly was, maybe you thought I was joking Was it the distance or questionable persistence? The fear maybe, that had you critical of what you should feel Perhaps the vicissitudes of fate that have a stationary couple reel Or the gravity of occurrences, where I had to keep up appearances Maybe just you. Maybe just me. Or the doubtful We. In all reason; logical to think that perhaps the feel that keeps me away from you and you feeling like a slave when with me if you believed and trusted, we could have eloped Escaped the prison of doubt and insecurity, uplift the hope Use the ladder of surrender climb down the 'chance' rope and then we'd elope But you stayed with the other guy who says what you want to hear who drives the car that has them cheer who sports a profile that gives him credit Never minding your heart's merit I leave and enter the wild I am a wolf from afar And a die-hard romantic at heart These are the melodies that live on Unsung hymns of love lore May they be heard deeply and penetrate as the sound of spores.

It was half past noon as Professor Lynch came barreling into the drive way in his hunt for the unknown. His actions so urgent he forgets to even close his car door. He sprints up his steps and swings the door open to his house and there it was. Why was he is such a hurry? Well this goes back a little over a week prior when he had some guests over for the first time since he bought his new home. It was the day after he had finally unpacked the last box. This was a gathering to celebrate his new job as a History Professor at the University of California and his beautiful new home. The gathering was going as planned till he heard a strange noise coming from the basement. The guests didn't hear this noise and continued having a great time as Lynch went downstairs to check it out. As he opened the back door he heard some things fall over as if an animal had skirmished to the noise of the door. As he continued down the stairs after this so called animal his heart about hit his stomach. He has a small door in his basement he figured was used for child’s play made by the family before him. So in his unpacking process he had left it alone. Well he could of sworn he seen the door **** to it turn. Too afraid to check it out on his own he ran upstairs. Trying not to embarrass himself he quickly ran up the stairs into the main room and continued the gathering as if nothing had happened. Once the guests left he found himself sitting in his living room saying to himself “it was nothing, you’re just seeing things.” He talked himself into believing this because he hadn't slept much in a few days with all the unpacking trying to get ready for the new week. So he finally decided to go to bed and get some rest. It wasn't for another week till he had started to notice some strange occurrences. He came home from work that day and noticed his refrigerator was left open. Lynch however was uncertain on if it was him who left it open so he shrugged it off. Another day had passed and again he came home from work and his refrigerator was open again. This now struck an uneasy feeling; he had made sure he closed it before work today. As he continued through his house with caution he had seen nothing unusual nor seen anything more out of place until he walked by the basement. He once again heard this skirmishing sound of what seemed like an animal trying to escape the basement. As he entered the basement the sound stopped. He was frightened but hadn't been threatened in any way, so he continued throughout his day although not in ease. He was uneasy about this happening a second time so he decided to come home early from work and see if he could catch whatever it was in action. So at work the next day as he planned he left work early, about half past noon. “Professor Lynch came barreling into the drive way in his hunt for the unknown. His actions so urgent he forgets to even close his car door. He sprints up his steps and swings the door open to his house and there it was.” This was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Something so frightening, so terrifying his jaw hit the floor. Before Lynch could speak a word, he was snatched and drug into the basement through the little door he thought was used for “child’s play.” -Joseph B Schneider

I hope this is the last set of letters Because I am so tired Of hanging onto these things that Happened so long ago now And allowing other people To have this type of control over me I love myself now and That really is an amazing thing I didn't even like myself back then I couldn't even comprehend the idea That I could care about myself this way And that's exactly the reason Why all of these past occurrences Suffocate my thoughts so much Because I cannot fathom how People who claimed they loved me Could treat me the way they did How I could let them Use me and Abuse me and Manipulate me to such a degree Where I stayed in those conditions For much longer than I should have The reason I haven't let go yet Has nothing to do with my exes It has to do with the ways in which I allowed important people Those who I shared love and a life with To hurt me so deeply It is not about the people It is not about their names It is not even about the individual love It is solely about me and The love I carry for myself now And my own inability to comprehend How I could hurt myself so much By letting other people Actively hurt me so much

Reprocessing (Final Letters)
Lying on the bed I think of what to write... ....words don't flow out of my pen my mind is clogged vaccum surrounds me I've ****** all the noise into my self. It's waiting to explode. I realise I am too conscious of myself, I realise I am trying to pretend. My pen leaks out a random flow of ink shaped in words I strike them out they don't manifest my feelings. I don't want farce to appeal to the eye, I want honesty to touch the heart. I am waiting for my words to strike a chord with the strings of my heart. I am longing for clarity that will give my writing a sense of purpose and shorn it of its randomness. Lying on the bed I think of what to write.... ....my mind is a clean slate I want to colour it with thoughts and feelings, I want for it to lose its barrenness and be fertile with imagination. I want for it to be bereft of fear for it is, the place where revolutions were conceived and philosophies were born; the sole reason for Man's greatness. It boasts of coveted freedom, which, feared tyrants failed to ****** it is a guiding light to the often faltering humanity. It has been subject to manipulations, deceiving history into changing its course; scripting moments of momentous change, all, of course, owing their occurrences to the enchanting influence it wields over the body. Lying on the bed I think of what to write.... ....my mind is deluged with a rush of thoughts flowing in and out, a haze of colours mesmerises me, letters, words dance before my eyes, songs play out in a loop, a multitude of smudgy-outlined faces gazes at me.... ....And I realise with an epiphany, It is this very train of thoughts I shall elaborate on! Lying on the bed I think I know what to write on.

Lying on the bed I think of what to write... ....words don't flow out of my pen my mind is clogged vaccum surrounds me I've ****** all the noise into my self. It's waiting to explode. I realise I am too conscious of myself, I realise I am trying to pretend. My pen leaks out a random flow of ink shaped in words I strike them out they don't manifest my feelings. I don't want farce to appeal to the eye, I want honesty to touch the heart. I am waiting for my words to strike a chord with the strings of my heart. I am longing for clarity that will give my writing a sense of purpose and shorn it of its randomness. Lying on the bed I think of what to write.... ....my mind is a clean slate I want to colour it with thoughts and feelings, I want for it to lose its barrenness and be fertile with imagination. I want for it to be bereft of fear for it is, the place where revolutions were conceived and philosophies were born; the sole reason for Man's greatness. It boasts of coveted freedom, which, feared tyrants failed to ****** it is a guiding light to the often faltering humanity. It has been subject to manipulations, deceiving history into changing its course; scripting moments of momentous change, all, of course, owing their occurrences to the enchanting influence it wields over the body. Lying on the bed I think of what to write.... ....my mind is deluged with a rush of thoughts flowing in and out, a haze of colours mesmerises me, letters, words dance before my eyes, songs play out in a loop, a multitude of smudgy-outlined faces gazes at me.... ....And I realise with an epiphany, It is this very train of thoughts I shall elaborate on! Lying on the bed I think I know what to write on.

Time is measured in problem sets and exams birthday parties and housewarming parties and frat parties going out to eat with chattering friends, anxiety in the wait for the week’s end, finding the time for peace in ‘alone’ or calling our parents up on the phone. Specific occurrences far from each other: Weeks. ... or daily: Watching each minute slide by, Digits slipping one by one Into ever-so-slightly increasing quantities. Like a microscopic tortoise on an infinitely stretching number line, Moving steadily, always so steadily, toward the invisible finish line. Why?

Another poem from the pen of my alter ego Barry Hodges Half asleep, I sense you rise from the bed Where we have shared love's passion, Your sweaty body glistening as the dawn's early light Peeks through the curtains of our ensuite bedroom. O! To think that our great love affair must end Now that your husband has threatened To asphyxiate your six dear children If you do not cast me aside like a worn out shoe. And when I awake fully I find you gone forever, The only souvenir of our last night together Being a small squashed **** lying on the stained bedlinen. O! How can I ever forget such a tragic awakening? *FOOTNOTE [I knew from bitter experience of similar occurrences that dear old Mrs Bloggs (Seaview Bijou B&B;, The Esplanade, Ramsgate, Kent) was bound to make a hefty surcharge to disinfect the bedding thoroughly. What an unromantic old ***** she was, may she rot in Hell forever.]*

Memories of a Spring Morning in Ramsgate at the End of A Great Love Affair
At first sight, she was going to be a nobody Who knew what the future had for us Time is elusive. Daily events are random occurrences Or is it? What is random anyway? Shuffling your music playlist isn't random Algorithm.

God's Algorithm
*I'm a firm believer in the sixth sense of animals and their ability to portend the future 'sometimes' . Many cases exist , farm animals included , of strange occurrences just before an Earthquake , Tornado or Hailstorm ! Animals have the ability to pick up emotional signals from human beings as well ! We had a quarter horse that could pick up fear , a dog that would hide under the bed an hour before a hailstorm , and a pet pig that would squeal and hide from someone it didn't recognize ! Then again I had a Rooster once , that picked up on my depressed state of mind an flogged me good with its razor sharp spurs one afternoon ! I questioned his ability to see the future later on that evening as I rocked on the front porch and picked out his barbecued remains with a wood tooth pick and a cup of hot tea* !

Sixth Sense
*Times of happiness, Times like this when everything seems perfectly fine yet imperfect..* When time passes by in an instant and no one knows what might happen next… We forget all our obsessions, tensions, problems, fears, nonsense And focus on time...time alone which has no absolute pathway… *No course of action or reaction… Only a measure of never or forever…* There could be a million alternatives that could take place but… It’s you and me… Together. Among all the possibilities of occurrences, The choice of the universe accounts to this… The perfect placement of two bodies of matter, In this chaotic yet constant time… You chose me. And I chose you. Subconscious and consciously In this place of uncertainties There might or might not be someone watching over, controlling us like puppets Or there might be more to it than we know it, Or I might not know, if not for the nick of time that happened to cross my destiny, Destiny… Was it? Or was it time? Or some power wanting to lead us here, Or was it already written, in the stars? So many questions but the answer one needs is if we exist at all… Do we? Or are we just a figment of someone’s imagination? Are we dreaming? Awake and thinking? Well all I can occasionally agree on is the fact that there was a want… A want of wanting everything to happen… The dreams we saw when we were small… Are we both living it? Or the thoughts you had…the imaginations… Are we living it all unknowingly? Maybe yes? Who knows? This want that keeps on arising for the want of more want… Everything wanting to happen at the same time… The right time, and the right place. Mornings changing into evenings and then nights For want of rest, Books increasing in number For want of knowledge, *Souls colliding with each other for want of escape..* Escaping this light of nothingness… A place familiarly known as world. We came, we met, we lived, we died… All in the same place where we in fact met to be together… For want of continuity and want of ? Even I do not know, I am but a helpless being of matter and my body turns to dust… *But not so ordinary either… as my existence and my soul does not cease to exist in this world…* I may be a mere mortal… But when we met… The universe wanted it, Destiny wanted it, You wanted it, Our souls wanted it, **But our minds… little did they know of this magic…** That revives dead senses and unknown feelings… Which has led us into this pathway of love… A mere flick of brain cells that prevent us to repel each other in all possible ways… *I love you... You are my eternity..*

I do not look at the stars and think of the immensity of the universe. I see them as quiet selfless guardians, the kind sisters I always wanted. I am their sister, their daughter. With eyes like a lunar eclipse, I stare at them and say "did you see that?" As though the occurrences of my night were their equivalent of a shooting star. I hope they see all my smiles the size of galaxies, Where my dimples have their own gravitational pull. I hope they smile at the boys I show them And remark about similar he looks to their dear friend, the man in the moon. I hope they see the supernovas these boys inspire. And I hope they see when my tears fall like meteors, Leaving comet trails on my cheeks, Or when I feel like there's a black hole developing in my chest When my supernovas start to collapse. I tell them the tales that they will connect into my constellations, They will tell each other the stories that are the reasons for my shapes. I do not look at the stars and think of the immensity of the universe. I look at the stars and hope they are amazed by my personal immense universe.
