"pad" poems
By Arcassin Burnham I'm determined, Lack the feeling of yearning The desire to talk about this insecure little daddy's girl, Yes Like me, Yeah you blame the world, But comparing yourself to me, I'll make you scratch your eyes out And turn you back to ******* ***** Don't leave a comment, Just mean what you say, If you don't have reasons, Get out of my face, You don't know me, You never met me, You look like you ****** on 82 ***** Your a big mouth ***** you need to be stitched up, Your skills on the pad they flock, Must have been the time of the month when you sent that comment, Miss Arlo Disarray get off my ****

"Dumb ******* II"
In 2005 The Piano Man was found wandering the streets of Sheerness in a soaking wet suit and tie he didn't say a word. When presented with pad and pen he simply drew a grand piano. His nurses sat him in front of a beat up old upright he played for four hours straight; for four months his hands were the only things to break his silence. Alexandre Dumas said "man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy." Do you ever think about how Beethoven hacked the legs off his piano so he could feel the sounds he couldn't hear in his head, through his chest? And Van Gogh heard the sounds his paintings made but kept going until his sanity was just a memory floating on a distant river under a tired Milky Way. And you see, like a Gaelic folk song blindness runs red through my family, so I know it's not much but I'm here, still trying to mould my hands to say the right form of 'I love you'. And did you know that the human heart beats over 30 million times a year, but we still have a hard time keeping our feet on the ground? And did you know that the act of breaking in a horse is actually the act of breaking it's back? Like we can't sit without sitting on broken things. And did you know that every time a mobile phone sends out a GPS signal a bee loses it's way home, and every bee that doesn't reach it's hive dies? So on nights when your pulse matches the beat of my favourite song you don't have to wonder if it's me matching the syncopation of your silence -- and I wonder if you ever found what you were looking for. And I wonder if you realise that on days you're not here I roll up my sleeves, count the beats without you, sit on the backseat and miss you. And somewhere The Piano Man rolls up his sleeves creates the Big Bang under his fingertips. And in 2005 on an April morning in Sheerness, a suited piano man walks straight into the ocean, begs the current to take him. I send you a message a bee loses it's way home. I send you another another bee dies. My chest cavity is a bumble bee crypt, my tongue a honeyed graveyard. Another message. The Big Bang. The hive. A suit. That ocean. Another back is broken. Another message is sent. I fear I am more honeycomb than heart. To create is to destroy. To destroy is to succeed. And would you just look at what these piano hands have finally done.

I She exits herself on the Sofa. Blanket, dog, and bits Of a poem on a pad of paper On the table, like a half-eaten Piece of homework. Shades of wine on her sleeping Lips. Exits herself; space-walks Outside that frame of mind she's Been expected to hang herself On the wall within; she knows There is more. There has to be more. II She has to be more. Like so many writers, she falls Asleep working. Sometimes Works to fall asleep. Digging her way through Herself, mining for words, Hacking away at painful pasts, Gathering emerald experiences.   Diamond doubts and ruby Regrets all fuel her poetry. And she reads, spotlight kissed;   Audience adored, Goosebump summoning; hairs On arms and necks stand up as She whispers directly to me. About me. Because of me. In front of everybody. To music, and I've brought a box Of pins, and between each of her Every word, I drop one. And I Swear to the gods, you can hear Them all. Like the unsteady Ticking of a clock too cool to Care. III Poetry jewelry; set with stones From her innermost. Chips of Gold from her heart melted Down to a key pendant she Holds in her hand; chain dangling, Eyes closed, forehead resting Against a door she knows it is Time to open. Key in one hand, Pen in the other, She Enters Herself.

A Clock too Cool to Care
Over a cup of morning java Scanning my daily mail I came upon an advertisement sheet *That exclaimed in BOLD rainbow pastel* Grand opening of a store that has everything On the corner of Daisy and William Tell The one thing I saw that interested me Is they were having a back to "60's"  Hippie sale Of course I stopped what it was I was doing Hopped in my Lexus and left right away The excitement had my heart all in a flutter This I guarantee is going to be a good day They weren't kidding when they said they sold it all I'd been wandering the store for quite a while That's when I came to what it was I had come here for Before me in trippy little colors, the hippie aisle So I bought me a couple colorful hippies With my 25% coupon I was able to save The Hippies even  came with a bonus Fresh cut flowers and Jefferson Airplane tapes When I got home I showed them to their room Black light posters and colored beads hung from the door As luck would have it I bought an Indian hemp rug From Pier One just the day before They taught me transcendental meditation While I taught them both how to bathe Their lessons broadened the mind My lessons the nostrils saved I soon had a groovy little hippie pad In which organic vegetables and enlightenment grew We'd sit around crossed legged in a  purple haze at night Playing psychedelic tunes on our Kazoo's And I was pretty good too! Who Knew! Yes, a house of happy hippies Is a happy hippie house indeed Especially when Wendy Crystal Sky...Yes, that's her name Brews her famous dandelion tea I highly recommend the purchase of hippies I couldn't be any happier with mine Sure beats the punk rockers I got on close out last year But that my friend is another tale for another time...

Kya gunha hai ? (Hindi)
Back to the scrawling pad a cheap red notebook wide ruled, with the perforated pages in it in case I wanna punch one out easily Those moleskin daze were measly Thinking I'm creative and potent but spending two years to fill those tiny pages Please, help me reinvent the feel and manifest it to real, accomplishment Songs, verse, or vice grip words to change a nation with - to start a new nation with Bokonon Bhikkhu hurling Pikachus down from Mt. Olympus land on the concrete with lemming splat Get the metaphor? I don't. Make your own up I just an absurdest A poor boy humming Queen and writing rap atrocities Nah, the rap "apocalypse" minus all the apostrophes Write so much anything anyone says from now until oblivion was just quoting me!

Sometimes a Cocky Rapper
I know how much time you spent on your hair so I will not touch it, but think of how soft it would feel running across my skin. I know you hate it when I walk around in nothing, so I'll try and teach you the ways to love your own body. And I am here to be your crash pad when you get laid off at work and come home crying. And before the day is done I'll carry you into the woods and we'll put our feet in the lake to forget our tragedies, and remember we're still young at heart. There is no need to grow up and worry about your looks. Worry how other people, we don't know, think about our bodies and if they are silently judging. Let's not worry about money. We'll just camp in a tent on the lakeside when we lose our house. And we'll go with the river, play around like children and enjoy life and live worry-free.

The glow of a city night comes in through my window And keeps awake my always-empty stomach and heart Night skies look sick with green And don't take well to light pollution Sleep doesn't come easy to someone so restless Though I need the fullness of oblivion now more than ever There is no right way to lay a restless head on a pillow To twist a hollow body under sheets That it will lie still in comfort Because emptiness folds painfully in on itself And I untwist, I unfold To accept defeat Propped on elbows, On a yellow legal pad in the yellow light I hold the sign of a night spent slowly: All forms of unhappiness are, on the inside, loneliness

The saying is "Always live your life in the fast lane." But how can I do that if my life has faded like smoke through a keyhole? It is blank like a notepad on a little girl's desk. The girl who is constantly bullied for the Bell's Palsy that consumes her face. The notepad that sits on her desk that she has ripped pages upon pages upon pages out of. Pages that read words that are thrown at her everyday. **** ***** ***** loser. Pages that have drawings of her and that one guy she longs for, but that one guy longs for her disappearance. My life is like that blank note pad. The only thing it retains is it's last message telling the world "Goodbye."

Admiration
The pad of my thumb sits on your face It fits in that place where your brow and cheek bone meet. Your mouth submits to the taste of my skin It gets my attention. Those thin lips harbor a chase to cure The abstention you know I endure Until I retire the entire set of rules I've laid out, wether weeks or months, In this case, hours, your goal will be completed. Because defeated isn't in your vocabulary I'd even consider it rarely. You win. Which is a win-win.

The Sansui turntable still works well. Like memories, round and round, Needling me. And the more I play them, The more they itch. I know the dark side of the moon, And the way the sun shines. The dances, whirlwind moves, That have settled now. Inside the sleeve are notes and our words. I will not let the dust jackets do their job. I set Abbey Road gently on the pad, Place the needle softly, and hear the familiar scratch. Standing back, like watching a parade, I listen. Here comes the sun on a cloudy day.

What you are to me:)
A coy fish in a pond with nowhere to swim nor splash. The clear water allowed him to see in all four directions, though there was nothing to catch the eye but four concrete walls and bunches of lily pads. A tiny spectator circled the grass surrounding the pond. She looked as though she were only 5 years old. A second later she was hastily ripping a lily pad from its roots. Upon discovering no magic beneath its belly, she dropped it and began on her way. The lifeless plant rested at the ponds edge for weeks before the wind carried it back to its place. It was somehow different now, wrinkled and stretched at the stem, though it floated uniform among the rest. The coy hid in the shadows created by the walls, and watched.

Ode to a Poet(writer) I know you, All alone 4am is when you feel most at home. I feel you, Blank page, full pen, I see you, Looking at a page waiting for a tale to unfold, Behold! When it starts, it flows, I am you, Hiding away, writing my pain, Escaping reality, Day to day, We are art, In the way we move, We are the dreamer's and believer's Pad and pen in hand til our dreams come true.

Ode to a Poet(writer)
In the divet between mountains Resides a wooden cabin – ostensibly an amalgamation of the scape Adroitly - I - quondam female warrior flit Down massive (ancient) hand-laid, hand-cut carved stone steps Bounding from contingent step onto the dense pad of turned soil Tacit compliance between gravity and soil holds footprints bound A compressed deflating crescendo as pace ignites with bounds Cadences of protuberant wildflowers and grasses erupt from swollen terra A winsome chromatic menagerie, dispersed in ecstatic fistfuls A venerably ancient ritual My nascent clandestine vocation Personally meted out - a beatification for my provisional sanctuary Along glacier-fed stream Lissome fingers shadow inert stalks –plucking dormant beginnings from their desiccated ligaments I am austere and unadorned save for a festoon of pyrite flecks trailing my semblance Residual gilding from my ante-meridian swim taken after requisite gathering of wild blackberries, goose berries, and rhubarb along oft-tamped path The sun, nestling into its requisite apex endorsed my completion I reclined into the hassock of soil, feeling the elements settle about with an embossment of my form Imposing verdure arched subtly as compressed soil beckoned hyperbolic flux As I lay within the basilica of opulent living columns replete with comestible bounty Lingering dew honed inflections of sacrosanct petrichor in unison with piquant clover Wild purple clover buds saccharinely tinted and inundated nestled nerves in mine cribriform plate Birds pitched and galloped through the frond tips and beyond in the lapis expanse Frequently snatching damselfly’s and assemblages of midges from their ephemeral drift Auspicious rays transcended stippled diaphanous gravid clouds Light inundated ether entered humbly into the cathedral oculus Pyrite speckled terrain beneath, and my bare gilded form above Cast a refracted aura about my sanctuary Precipitously the elusive vaporous embankment distended further Ashen atmospheric correspondence inaugurated liquescent sustenance to my mountain abode And I - Lingered beneath the descending gobbets, curls furled in a puddle Fresh topsoil cupping my corporal topographic contours Pressing blackberries into my mouth between smiles

In the divet between mountains Resides a wooden cabin – ostensibly an amalgamation of the scape Adroitly - I - quondam female warrior flit Down massive (ancient) hand-laid, hand-cut carved stone steps Bounding from contingent step onto the dense pad of turned soil Tacit compliance between gravity and soil holds footprints bound A compressed deflating crescendo as pace ignites with bounds Cadences of protuberant wildflowers and grasses erupt from swollen terra A winsome chromatic menagerie, dispersed in ecstatic fistfuls A venerably ancient ritual My nascent clandestine vocation Personally meted out - a beatification for my provisional sanctuary Along glacier-fed stream Lissome fingers shadow inert stalks –plucking dormant beginnings from their desiccated ligaments I am austere and unadorned save for a festoon of pyrite flecks trailing my semblance Residual gilding from my ante-meridian swim taken after requisite gathering of wild blackberries, goose berries, and rhubarb along oft-tamped path The sun, nestling into its requisite apex endorsed my completion I reclined into the hassock of soil, feeling the elements settle about with an embossment of my form Imposing verdure arched subtly as compressed soil beckoned hyperbolic flux As I lay within the basilica of opulent living columns replete with comestible bounty Lingering dew honed inflections of sacrosanct petrichor in unison with piquant clover Wild purple clover buds saccharinely tinted and inundated nestled nerves in mine cribriform plate Birds pitched and galloped through the frond tips and beyond in the lapis expanse Frequently snatching damselfly’s and assemblages of midges from their ephemeral drift Auspicious rays transcended stippled diaphanous gravid clouds Light inundated ether entered humbly into the cathedral oculus Pyrite speckled terrain beneath, and my bare gilded form above Cast a refracted aura about my sanctuary Precipitously the elusive vaporous embankment distended further Ashen atmospheric correspondence inaugurated liquescent sustenance to my mountain abode And I - Lingered beneath the descending gobbets, curls furled in a puddle Fresh topsoil cupping my corporal topographic contours Pressing blackberries into my mouth between smiles

Streets of the city has recently bathed, with a sudden hour long mid-Summer's rain. Romeo trudged down the empty street, towards his lonely pad located on a terrace. He had nothing to call his very own, excepting his dear old Saxophone! The crowd in the hotel applauded as he played, since he played with empathy like every other day. He had met his Juliet briefly once, those were the moments of a happy trance! The saxophone has countless musical notes embedded inside, - For our Romeo to play them out night after night. Yet so many Romeos like him shall slowly fade away; And the saxophone shall play their dirge at the end of the day!                                                            -By Raj Nandy, New Delhi

ROMEO AND HIS SAXOPHONE!
Even the corner of the heating pad is warmer than what I feel for you. There's no red-hot passion here, on the contrary; there is only a numb cold in my chest cavity a gnawing anxiety and pale annoyance, bruised, which for some sickening reason I love.

Infatuation
it looks like the inside of my cortex Loose screws with a loose table for my verbal contortions A few books and spells surrounded by potions Vertical blinds shut tight, the way they were forced in Mattress on the floor tucked on top of a box spring Fornication smell, but no room for my offspring I don't live alone, instead, I live with these objects Mac 27 inch, I pad that's never dim...tech floods the room like CSI evidence Solid speakers to echo feelings a resonance Window closed, but when it's open the moonlight just settles in This is my cave but, you can call it my residence.

My Cave
this is my place this was the doorway i rented. this was where i would put things. this was my bathroom. this was the mirror i used to look through. this is the place at the bottom of the stairs. this is where i didnt sleep. this was where my head screamed till out of breath. this was my backpack where i kept paper. these were the words i didnt write. those were the sleepless nights. those were people i loved. these were things i did to pass the time. and that.. that was what i had in mind. these were reminders of the "silly times". theres where we three all learned to rhyme. and thats the hallway to down there, thats where i went this last time. with no light there.. no time.. no games, photos or silly rhymes.. no words to write, no sleepless night.. no stairs down there, no pen and pad, no bathroom, no mirrors, no head screaming, no bad dreaming.. no things to put away or place to keep them there. no doorway rented. and no place for me .

this is my place
deli meats and cheeses i look past them at soft crinkling smiling faces and i drink my java warms up my hands and ******* and i sweat in my coat walking up and down the isles I see trail mix and sunchips and sweet sweet sweets the yummies that i adore chocolates especially dark chocolate cocoa orange cherry strawberry berry red brown it's the sweetness and saltiness of summer time ice cream It's the cold crispness of carrots and snap peas It's the warmth and comfort of big muffins and a plate of hashbrowns at Perkin's after a stressful morning spice smells of pad tai noodles sourdough bread, fresh baked crunch crunch on the outside soft hot squish inside (save that part for me, i eat them separate -you laugh) how many times did we laugh about how you ate that bug and we were never picky *cherries all those cherries.* we ate nutella on bread, washed it down with cold organic orange juice from a cafe neither of us had ever heard of and tofu tofu tofu always cooked perfectly (we wondered how they do it) (i still don't know) chocolate, melting slowly "you missed some." -------just an excuse to kiss me. i giggle peanut m&m;'s turn my tongue colors. Watermelon at a potluck wedding cake cheesy potatoes and an extra helping of bread (we laughed so hard at the white bread, squished into a cube) ruby red made you wince I drink it straight from the bottle and smile remembering every kiss that tasted of grapefruit in that tent every kiss that tasted of salt from the eggs? or from the sweat on your lips the sweat on your lips. we kiss more i smile into your lips i remember that, especially we never got sick of each other nutella on everything, now. especially on s'mores i smile with every memory i put my hands in pockets, the cold rushes to meet my face in the ice cream aisle i cool down as i graze through the tubs or corn syrup and double churned triple churned cream with extra fudge sherbet i chuckle to myself memories memories of sitting up high with you, sand on our toes chocolate caramel fudge coffee on our tongues love in our hearts you remember. the taste of that summer
