1058 Bloom—is Result—to meet a Flower And casually glance Would scarcely cause one to suspect The minor Circumstance Assisting in the Bright Affair So intricately done Then offered as a Butterfly To the Meridian— To pack the Bud—oppose the Worm— Obtain its right of Dew— Adjust the Heat—elude the Wind— Escape the prowling Bee Great Nature not to disappoint Awaiting Her that Day— To be a Flower, is profound Responsibility—

Bloom—is Result—to meet a Flower
Its a scam, its a scam, see the Crimson Gang deftly scamming them They by sleight have befuddled gullible masses Moral Compass Made them see wrong as right twisting their brains from the stem With deceitful guile they shepherded them all to the fools' campus Slander and fake News galore fed to vacant hungry masses scrum Knowledge is power the reprobates declares, do not let it pass We're the majority the bullies screams, knowing they're just scums Worthless charlatans who rob successes and **** without cutlass They take a foregone conclusion and coat it with fool's gold crumb A victim with no intention of going after an uninterested lass Dumb masses fed fake news fooled into harassing actions dumb A non-event becomes a show of the controlling might of our class Crimson gangs interpret a non-events from his deluded sad drum Creates a warped sick drama round a hapless victim for laughs Gives street theater actions to masses, these will oppose and numb Whilst poor victim subjected to 'voiding' madness wonders past The Crimson leaders laugh so much like pirates drinking *** Look how we manipulate the masses, they are so simple and crass With our devious twisting propaganda they eat out of our *** We simply use them to nail and crucify our victim to the cross

Look, stranger, at this island now The leaping light for your delight discovers, Stand stable here And silent be, That through the channels of the ear May wander like a river The swaying sound of the sea. Here at the small field's ending pause Where the chalk wall falls to the foam, and its tall ledges Oppose the pluck And knock of the tide, And the shingle scrambles after the **** ing surf, and the gull lodges A moment on its sheer side. Far off like floating seeds the ships Diverge on urgent voluntary errands; And the full view Indeed may enter And move in memory as now these clouds do, That pass the harbour mirror And all the summer through the water saunter.

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for regulations unconsciously transpiring within the organs and the glands of the body. Such as: urination, salivation, digestion, defecation, and lacrimation (noun. ‘the flow of tears’. Latin. from lacrimare (‘weep’) and lacrima (‘tear’). It’s why I cry even when I don’t want to. You are the parasympathetic nervous system. The (ortho-)sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the mobilization of the fight-or-flight response and constantly maintaining homeostasis within the body. It acts rapidly, enacting an attempt at stability and the necessary and critical ability to suddenly escape on pulsing legs or cling to survival through brandishing adrenaline-doused knuckles and dilated pupils. It’s why you live even when you don’t want to. I am the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are two of three essential nervous systems which compose the autonomic nervous system (a part of the peripheral nervous system) that manages involuntary functions of the body. Such as: swallowing, perspiration, arousal, breathing, and heart rate (noun. ‘the speed of the heartbeat’. usually expressed in beats per minute. mine speeds up when I see you). Individually these two systems oppose but compliment each other like our hands do— pressed together and omitting equal force; veins meeting at the fingertips and throbbing at the wrists but running amuck on our respective digits otherwise. You are the invariable and unspoken reminder to breath, love, sweat, and live. I am the sudden snap of reality always aiming to save you but grudgingly willing to fight you and ready to leave. From the deepest lower half of my brainstem and from every nerve in my cycling body, I’m sorry. From all of my chromaffin cells and from the truest parts of submandibular ganglian, I am sorry.

*That song you wrote is still on replay mode It used to make me special to leave, you did cause you said shall. I wish you didn't have to though you said it is for me too I never want you to leave because to you I want to live. The lines of that song, oh what happened wrong can't we just relive the lines and grow together like vines. I want to hear you sing that song you composed as long as I live but why does everyone oppose?*

You, I, polymorphously perverse            your hand covers my mouth voices adverse             Liberation, but in reverse. Submit and admit...                     Or disposed to oppose... I want to beg, plead, submerse and disburse                I burst in silence for my cursed thirst              first, be more covert, I'd prefer if we don't                                       converse I'll sing you your pleasure without             a                 single                           verse.

Polymorphously Perverse
I have no name to write in the sand of my beach. I need my heart capsized again, shaken even by speech, Caught in a storm of emotions, leaving me a shipwreck. I miss your company on this deck. Love, please return into my sea. What is my poetry, if it's for nobody? Is there something wrong with me, Always trapped in this strange duality? There is no spice to contrast this uneventful sweetness, No pain to oppose my happiness. But just like that, carried by the current, you float away… I'm stranded. Please, stay…

A Silence stirs within the people, As the King anoints his knight. The man of righteous renewal, From the very start. So it began, His journey across Tamriel. Searching for a way, To save his people. Armor of White, Spear of the dragon. He comes to fight, Those who oppose him. His only distraction, A fair maiden. With lips of ruby, Hips of curve. She can ****** anyone, Then rob their home. She sneaks within the night. Only to serve. Nocturnal the Daedric Goddess of the Dark World. Evergloom shail it be. When they cross paths. Each night they meet... So goes the Son of Skyrim, Being tricked. By the anointing Imperial. Mother of the Pack.

Knight, Journey, Trick
In the parched path I have seen the good lizard (one drop of crocodile) meditating. With his green frock-coat of an abbot of the devil, his correct bearing and his stiff collar, he has the sad air of an old professor. Those faded eyes of a broken artist, how they watch the afternoon in dismay! Is this, my friend, your twilight constitutional? Please use your cane, you are very old, Mr. Lizard, and the children of the village may startle you. What are you seeking in the path, my near-sighted philosopher, if the wavering phantasm of the parched afternoon has broken the horizon? Are you seeking the blue alms of the moribund heaven? A penny of a star? Or perhaps you've been reading a volume of Lamartine, and you relish the plasteresque trills of the birds? (You watch the setting sun, and your eyes shine, oh, dragon of the frogs, with a human radiance. Ideas, gondolas without oars, cross the shadowy waters of your burnt-out eyes.) Have you come looking for that lovely lady lizard, green as the wheatfields of May, as the long locks of sleeping pools, who scorned you, and then left you in your field? Oh, sweet idyll, broken among the sweet sedges! But, live! What the devil! I like you. The motto 'I oppose the serpent' triumphs in that grand double chin of a Christian archbishop. Now the sun has dissolved in the cup of the mountains, and the flocks cloud the roadway. It is the hour to depart: leave the dry path and your meditations. You will have time to look at the stars when the worms are eating you at their leisure. Go home to your house by the village, of the crickets! Good night, my friend Mr. Lizard! Now the field is empty, the mountains dim, the roadway deserted. Only, now and again, a cuckoo sings in the darkness of the poplar trees.

must we call for adventure when death lingers a fear casting a shadow over our every action so you take action to fight the shadows hastening the sunset like foolish children running as fast as they can to watch the sun pouring down into the water a flaming yolk cracking upon the surface the glorious way to die when you were young but now we know pain and love and hate and we lose the will to oppose our fates resigned to live for the material on our plates all the while admiring the daring heroes 'cause at least they were suffering and better for it they could so easily break us apart but to break us would be to mend us again and again we will stand before judgement denying the false lenses placed before our eyes accepting an eternal immortal truth of life given that must be taken away when the adventure has been won

adventure
Breeze bellows, leaves echo in quivering psithurism, dithering like unbroken smoke, this approaching omen goads. Dozing crows slumbering in rows, droves of locusts' silenced drone, almost comatose in repose; nighttime overtones choir of toads' raspy croaks answered by alto of crickets' orchestral strokes. Gust encroaches; robed boughs cloven open, bring into scope and focus me juxtaposed, suspended apropos. Although motionless and petrified in stone, provoked by zephyr coaxing to and fro; swaying pendulous and no longer frozen, locus gently thrown. Death rattle moan evoked from throat, reflex can't say no to rigor rigidly posed, final sigh in silence, awoken vocal, expelled and disposed. Smote by morose emotion, gun loaded then exploded by neurosis, now bloated necrosis decomposes into gross ochre. This trophy and this ode both an opus to my inability to cope; romanced i proposed, eloped and betrothed to my own inappropriate composure. Pocket full of posies plucked when luck bestowed and tears in a cup, a toast; crying copiously, tempest runneth overflowed, eyes swollen and soaked. Dipped my toes in the coast of this ocean's amorphous folds, gripped by undertow holding control of my soul; swiftly shipwrecked in shallow shoal, an old atoll. On sandy floor, water burrows roads; digging, carving, roams through unmarrowed silica and sandstone eroding into a cove. A host for opal geode trove, enclosing a technicolor rose, from the depths a glowing mosaic shone Unopened lotus floats on foam of lapping waves, a boat; prone to no grandiose notion or motive, adrift as wind stokes. I suppose this only shows the total corrosion into which I dove, the only foes to oppose are those of burdens, so only weightless can I atone- I must let go.

acting on a stage, she builds with each step, step,     step,         stepping, the floorboards trail behind her feet. they form from the soil, the earth breathing beneath, wooden planks sprouting between her toes. she sings in a voice strained and trained, her diaphragm strong and core rumbling in single breaths. her skin brushed with pigment, cheeks tinted rouge and lips scrubbed till pain, gold-dusted on her bones rays reflecting and blinding from her beauty. stomach she ***** in, twenty-four seven, always prim and proper, a perfect specimen of femininity, her blood flows in a viscosity unique only to the elite. fingers down but she lacks words to throw up, she's silent, an empty vessel, her lips meant to be a two-way gate but nothing flows either way. her skin sunkissed turmeric, her irises tapioca pearls, hair flowing and falling from her face toasted nori on the white rice her dress. daily rehearsals of sixteen odd years practicing lines; memorizing them, repeating internally, the stage she builds like a church her loves oppose to the act, but she builds an antidisestablishment forcing her audience of parishioners away from her.

You ever wish that you were a wild animal? Sounds a bit indecent, but reckoning the sense of freedom, order, and understandings ;then, you'll look at it through a bird's eye Doesn't it seem like animals have no issues at finding their purposes? They seem to know exactly what is it, in which what they are living for Oppose to us humans, they seem to be less frightened by death Do you think animals have religious beliefs? Some divine stranger they must let control their life. Or are they responsible enough themselves? And/or only have faith in what it mean to live ...Just live The things in which they used to do is still their tendencies today. Give me one lion that don't hunt anymore? One pack or tribe that is ran by female? One chimpanzee who think swinging from trees is out of style? One shark who think blood is disgusting? I never met a gopher who wasn't hip enough, who didn't "dig"; digging wholes Every cat I know rub their skull, ribs, backbone, tailbone and tail; in one motion against other creatures for what I figure as comfort. Shepherd, Yorkshire, or hound; however, they all get on the mailman's nerves Humans... We just seem lost Not knowing where we belong Steady trying to figure out right for wrong Attitudes always going up or down Need to much to crack a smile The slightest ordeal can make us frown A successful human is visioned as having access to the whole world Do you ever see a honey bee left behind in a swarm? Or a polar bear climbing a tree when it's warm? Their world has no critics No trends No high expectations Just eat, sleep, and **** Is that it? Or there's more to it? Two separate lives But I'm influenced

We just seem lost Not knowing where we belong Steady trying to figure out right for wrong Attitudes always going up or down Need to much to crack a smile The slightest ordeal can make us frown A successful human is visioned as having access to the whole world Do you ever see a honey bee left behind in a swarm? Or a polar bear climbing a tree when it's warm? Their world has no critics No trends No high expectations Just eat, sleep, and **** Is that it? Or there's more to it? Two separate lives But I'm influenced

i’ve long dreamt of black flags in the streets tonight i marched beneath the shadow of their wings shoulder-to-shoulder in hope and solidarity an anarchist professor with a climate change activist an independent journalist and one of my students as mid-November winds tugged at her pink-and-brunette hair she lifted a hand-drawn sign of a gigantic sneaker smashing a **** and i felt for not the first time an enormous sense of pride how humbling to at once inspire and be inspired by an eighteen-year-old punk and artist who asked to borrow The Moral Imperative of Revolt two scant months ago then took to the streets to oppose and depose a twisted fascist virtuoso for two whole hours we hundreds owned the streets we marched down Rosalind Central and Orange Avenue as protest slogans rang angelic we raised hell and found heaven in liberty equality and solidarity but then the pigs closed in cordoned to Lake Eola to scream acquiescent rhetoric at the fish sleeping blissful in their innocence beneath the jet black surface a half-dozen cops in riot gear astride horses loomed ominous before us backlit by the headlights of the aggravated motorists our march had forestalled as the people abandoned the streets we’d won so easily i felt my chest wilt beneath the weight of forsaken opportunity my eyes scanned the remaining crowd four stood strong rooted to the concrete by the world's weight anchored by conviction an anarchist professor an independent journalist a climate change activist and a freshman college student i heard the professor whisper to his student i heard him say she'd put herself in harm’s way that they'd lost the day when the marchers turned their backs and walked away but she didn’t flinch or move an inch she stood silent and vigilant shoulder-to-shoulder chin held almost as high as her Nazi-smashing protest sign and her matching middle finger and in that moment i could’ve died smiling

What is courage? Is it a sharp breath before jumping off the edge? Is it the tightness in your chest That pulls you up when everyone else is sitting down? Is it the burning heat in your eyes That smolders and boils As you gaze upon those who oppose you? Is that courage? Or is courage the defiant silence – The silence that watches your nose bleed In the foggy cracked mirror? Is it the child who says, “I love you” Between the sniffling and trembling? Is courage allowing the tears to come When there are people around to witness your suffering? Is courage looking up? Is courage focusing on the next step forward Rather than the hundreds already taken? Is courage doing what you believe is right No matter how much your palms sweat Or how much your knees shake Or how much your stomach twists Or how much your lips tremble Or how much doubt you feel That anything you do will change anything? Is courage a lie? Does Courage exist? A dictionary says Courage is “The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc. without fear” If that is truly what courage means, Then there is no such thing. Fear is not something that you can decide not to have. Fear is deep. Fear is psycological. Fear is biological. Fear is natural. Fear is not a pebble in one’s brain that can be removed on a whim. Fear can, however, be ignored. Fear can be climbed over. Fear can be conquered. Facing a difficulty fully aware of the fear Is what makes an action courageous. Courage is speaking up Acting out Crying Smiling Holding back Being silent Knowing the punch is going to come Knowing the insult is going to come Knowing the tears are going to come And the conflict And the questions And the darkness And the thunder And the criticism And the judgement And the violence And the doubt, Disbelief, and denial And knowing that 3:30 AM comes around every single night Regardless of whether or not you can sleep. Courage is opening your eyes Even when you don’t like what you see Because you have to. And you don’t have to just because somebody told you to Or because you read it somewhere Or heard it somewhere Or saw it somewhere. You have to because there’s substance in you. There’s a third dimension to you. You have to because that tightness in your chest Isn’t something you control. There is no Courage Switch. You can’t cultivate courage. Everyone has it but not everyone has seen it. Not everyone has used it But everyone can.

To the people who don’t or won’t support me, I don’t live in your solitary reality. I see the world in an equal and just perspective, It’s affective, connected, receptive, near-perfected. So I’m not going to heed your advice, I knew as soon as I saw her, what I think is right, I’m going to do what I was put here to do, I refuse to listen to you and your out-dated views. You say you will go to the city in the sky, Way up high in the clouds, after you die, And you say people like me will go to H-E-L-L, Then I’m glad I’m not near you and your homophobic smell. Plus, sending me back to my warm, homely home, Your cult will crumble like the Colosseum of Rome. You see, Satan is known for destruction and death, So if you decide to oppose me, you just took your last breath. I would kiss her right now, make you feel icky and horrible, I would hold her hand; remind her she is adorable. I would mess up her short, dark hedgehog hair, I would gently hold her face in two hands and stare. We would poke our tongues out at you, and then grin evilly, Then skip away, holding hands, eyes twinkling gleefully. Me and her, we don’t give a flying hoot what you think, You’re small, insignificant to us, gone in a blink. Me and her, we don’t want or care for your opinion, You’re just doing what you’ve been told, like a good lil’ minion. You go do your thing, and we’ll go do ours, We will look up and follow the brightly glowing stars.

Homophobic
When life feels suspended by a delicate thread Change is inevitable I sometimes feel stifled Tightly constricted Like a chrysalis Struggling against transformation I oppose the transition And need more time to adapt Today A butterfly tapped against my window Like change asking to come in If I can comply with Grace Maybe I too can transcend And withstand the butterfly effect

The butterfly effect
Warmed sand from the hot day slides between her slider toes, Her soft delicate ankles flex so tenderly with each step, Smooth calves pull taut with petite strength, yet so frailly, The falling sun dances on her hip and thigh seductively, (A woman of complete ****** power, yet seemingly helpless, Only as fragile as the tip of the golden dagger she bares, Her greatest power is in your pleasures pleasingly fulfilled, For once she has you clasped then her bidding can begin,) Widening hips well versed in shifting her gently pooched belly, A belly, so sensual, adored with melted elemental perfections, Colorful beads to draws eyes to skin like petals of a newly bloomed rose, A belly that when shaking releases all your heart's troubles and woes, (When she loves, her warmth is ten times the sun on a cold night, But if you were to oppose her, you are the prey to the panther's delight, She will give you everything your heart could ever desire, A kindness that burns inside her for her lover like a bellowed fire,) Fluid, water like hands tell a story of enchantment as they slice through air, Caressing a ***** so supple in form, a tear drop design of sexiness shown, Gentle and smooth as her beasts gyrate with motion as her body moves like waves, Her hands the constant agonist starting a seductive chain reaction through her body, (A passionate heart awaiting a love so true, searching for her warrior poet, She controls her world with her feminine wile but craves a life that is true, A man that values and respects her intellect, equally as much as the view, And look into her eyes to see the beautiful goddess that await him,) Long flowing black hair loved by the wind, teasing her curls as she spins, The beauty of her face only second to Nefertiti, but her eyes that of a goddess, Eyes reminiscent of a feline capturing the attention of the strongest man, Emerald green, deep with passion like the ocean, and rival its beauty infinitely, A dream that I see her in and long for her intimately......

I feel... Anger Unbridled rage, undying fury, like a wildfire through Rome I bring hell to those who have wronged me, sorrow to those who haven't, and death to all who oppose me Yet, I also feel love And pain And excitement But it always comes back to anger Those I love leave, those who love me die, and all I love must end The pain is always inflicted, rarely tolerable.... And rage always follows Excited for a new adventure, a new romance, a new friend, a new experience Yet it was all a lie The adventure led to pain, the partner a liar, the friend a foe, the experience flawed So all I have is anger

•Don't you think you're standing too close #But you did not oppose •Cause your touch is so overwhelming It numbs my brain #So does your breath Falling on my chest •Maybe it's the lack of air inbetween That's building this tension #But this tension of our bond Won't even let distance do us apart •Who talks like that these days #I'm witnessing one, Between a boy and a girl of Laws Stuck in the wonderland of Words •That sounds more like the Never Never Land #Don't let your sceptic shield come inbetween Not tonight •So that you can make me fall hard and deep #So that I can kiss your wounds to heal •But the soar soul will bring it back How will you touch that #Through that Venus trap you have for lips •Your beard is no less of spikes Growing goosebumps all over my skin Running that chill across my spine #It's good our interactive field **** our brains At least for once our hearts can overtake •I'm such a submissive to your strong gentle hold #I'm so weakened at the sight of your rising-falling stole
