"perusing" poems
Usually people will say happy birthday without actually caring for the day I am a lout I had no idea the 26th was so important Instead of perusing thoughts I laid dormant Had I risen from fake wars in Afghanistan I would have noticed it was the birthday of Lori Callahan! I apologize for missing such a special date. I hope it was one that no others can equate For you deserve a day to yourself and a special memory to put upon a shelf Happy Birthday Lori! A friend so sweet. Happy Birthday Lori! I hope someone massaged your feet. Happy Birthday Lori! I hope you had a cake with candles. Happy Birthday Lori! May this year be guided by angels. Happy Birthday Lori Callahan!

A belated poem for a belated birthday
Innocent Hyacinth tinted with mint Tingèd grey hinged on stem singed With chestnut leaves flowing, to me a fair hint Of off-centred carousing, black eyes perusing Wares of all sorts and stocks of all shares The leading on of a pleasure most gracefully enthusing Drops dews of all shades, of selfsame structure And we full of rowdy Sedition; But Wait! Recognition. In my hopes and tired efforts, a puncture. Music blaring loud, aftertaste of rejection And full on full strand of all smoke addled people Oh! How great Quasimodo I fell off my steeple In the midst of the crowd, full dejection.

X. "Innocent hyacinth tinted with mint"
Artificial means and memes the fingers perusing naturally formed hide and go seek Chic creatures wrought from nanoparticles based on modeled consciousness neural networks A handsome hivemind of bee;s building trees from cds ...intersynth polygons attracted to stack platonic forms emanation waves alpha beta delta gamma omega 1 , 2 ,3 this multiversal layering from micro to macro of matter animated by its intoned hertz pulsations and the interferrence pattern of the changing relationship due to the amount, frequency, force, temperature , texture , text messages, timing , geometry , subharmonics and overtones, a jewel net . syncronistic synergetic, synaptical sparkles.

Holding your loved one close at night Appreciating the existence of another Persevering through trials and tribulations Perusing your hopes and dreams You create your own happiness

Happy
Hunched, gorging on the pain of others Innocents, betrayed by acts so like your own For what? Some twisted pleasure? Denial? Or simply masquerade? Foul incubus, disguised by pilfered light An electronic reinvention of your tale Wallowing, greedily perusing torment caused by proxies Judas! Betrayer of the Light! You'll be unmasked And truth laid bare for all to see

The Vilest Troll
Look up, child, before it’s too late The years fly by and life won’t wait. It’s not there on your tablet screen, or any smartphone that I’ve seen. No lovely lass can catch your eye if you’re perusing shutterfly. Facebook may be fun, even great, But you have an expiration date. You may get “likes” and have “4 bars” Does that matter if you’ve lost the Stars?

Look Up
*Reflections of Paris this morning , for all the inhabitants of the world , especially those inspired by beautiful works of art and architecture  ! Those fortunate enough to have dined in world class eateries on cuisine prepared by Master Chefs , marveled over the downtown skyline high atop prominent monuments ! Impassioned lovers perusing her avenues , window shopping store fronts , boutiques along famous boulevards ! Senior couples recalling their yesteryears with great joy , frolicking , happy children playing in parklands , feeding songbirds with euphoria and curiosity , strolling walkways along the riverbank at Dusk with great wonderment and personal reflection The poet and poetess , musician and thespian , ballet dancer and street performer .. To lovers young and old , the continued hope of gaiety and splendor at every turn ! She is lovely indeed , the Queen of all that is beautiful on this Earth* ..

This is for the residents who remember And for the transplants who Have yet to be informed But have got an inkling Burque has gone from Bustling to busted And back again Growing up in the 80’s I learned about the Varying degrees of “sick” As my dad pointed out The pekid pachucos perusing Pharmacy isles Attempting to purchase Cough syrup with codeine In the evenings Driving home down Central I would ceremoniously Count hookers My parents would Precariously pack heat In the trunk of our car Or even in my mom’s special ***** pack With the hidden compartment For her .38 snub nose Because you never know Who will be in your home When you arrive That’s a given When flop houses are Interwoven with prime real estate And barrio boundaries Border the bourgeois’ bungalows And Huning’s Castles And residents rarely recognize Or realize That aside from the locals The European Jews Was the only group gutsy enough To settle here And create commerce Despite risks of being raided By Apaches And they reaped the benefits Off Roma and Marquette Because the rewards Turned out to be greater than The risks And up North Where Sephardic turned Crypto Conversions to Catholicism Kept the Messiah’s spirit alive But in basements They still did Chi fives! I was saddened in middle school When I realized That many of our parents Were too ashamed of our roots To teach us Spanish And our Schools ****** so severely That most of us Didn’t learn English either But hey – All you need to Communicate while cruising Are cat calls And the thumping boom Of the bass in the tubes And the hydraulic drop When they hit The hot spots From Tingley, Kit Carson and Central to Copper Each kid dreams that His ride Will be the show stopper I could rant and rave And rattle off for days But bottom line – We have the most Curious state With mysterious qualities And in-depth histories But most of us are More concerned with Bud Light And Biscochitos Con Manteca Because it just tastes great!

DEAR MOM I AM HOMOPHOBIC Dear mother My guardian angel and protector Am afraid to tell you He was staring at me When i went to the loo His cold gaze pierced my back And his unblinking eyes sent jitters down my spine A creeping feeling enwrapped my whole being When i turned his charming stare held me prisoner and he smiled at me Mother i could feel his look perusing me like an art book From head to toe i was studied I felt naked as his hungry stare undressed me To him i was a piece of an apple pie I could make out gurgling sounds as he swallowed dry saliva and licked his death black lips Lust was painted all over his mane covered face Mom i was really scared I regretted stepping in that club When i returned to my seat he bought me beer My liqour thirst was hard to bear I betrayed my masculinity And accepted drink from a **** sapien of male fraternity My mind was having a cold war with my soul Wierd thoughts tormented my intoxicated body Where did i stand??? He welcomed himself in my table With a gecko like grin etched on his face "You are handsome"those were the ugliest words i had ever heard from a man My owl like eyes bore onto him with blazing anger dancing on my eyelids I was shaking not because i was cold but murdering instincts were elecrocuting my adrenaline He mistook my silence and commited a cardinal sin by placing his manicured hand on my thighs He winked as his blinking broke the speed record I cleared my throat and i knew it was time to recorn He thought his tactics had worked I withdrew my hand from my pocket raised beer bottle as if to toast He hastefully followed suit "Chee....he never finished as i bathed him with my beer "Hey ****** am straight"i yelped as i crushed the beer bottle on his thick skull I heard a deafening yell The rest i remember is being frog matched into a police car So dear mom its not my fault am in jail Am here because i fought Mom am not a law breaker Am here because i am homophobic

In a tiny allotment right next to the zoo A miniature jungle was planted and grew The flora was dense and the air became hot But confined to a tidy rectangular plot An unthinkable duo of creatures converged And it's said that a spanking new species emerged For a curious beast was reportedly seen Roaming and munching on anything green Make haste! Away! It's the Buffagorilla! A shredder of lettuce and cereal killer With hooves at the front and hands at the rear The Buffagorilla is near! It shambles about at the darkest of hours On hedges it crunches and bunches of flowers On daffolil bulbs and petunia petals With hearty aplomb on a cluster of nettles Covertly perusing with maximum hush It can wander through gardens disguised as a bush No carrot or parsnip is safe in its bed And the marrows are quaking in vegetable dread Depart! Retreat! It's the Buffagorilla! The broccoli butcher and vegetable killer With ape like features and horns of a steer The Buffagorilla is near! So if you hear a mention of butternut theft Or notice a garden, all bare and bereft Insure your potatoes for damage and loss Give the salad a purely precautionary toss For a creature is roaming the byway and track With its legs at the front and its arms at the back And it might be your gooseberries or chervil he spies So I beg you take heed as I once more advise Be gone! Take flight! It's the Buffagorilla! The strawberry napper and cucumber killer Just hide in your cellar and steer well clear The Buffagorilla is near!

Perusing through the earth brown in your eyes Your abysmal feelings lurk underneath your placid disguise You gaze back into mine and plaster on your best smitten smirk All I want to do is quell your inner demons with a kissing berserk But like a whisper, I cant place my finger on it Whatever is making your insides feel so unfit Let me caress to suppress  all your body's ****** distress Just crack open Escape that inner dystopian The superfluous light in my soul wants to spill in so that destructive darkness can dissipate into fin Fill in your void I implore,"don't feel destroyed" My heart's warmest sentiments Dance with your mouth's jubilant upward movements Im swarmed by the rosy love you cast on to me like a spell I wish too that you have this frenzy feelings of fantastic to dwell I beseech you To save you is my virtue You're one of the few Whom I see in my future... 'tis true

Truths
Your body is like a road I traveled along when I was a child Bumpy and all of the twists and turns drive me wild Your eyes are dark blue like the sky I could not look away from when I was young Full of stars and I cannot wait to stare into them and find constellations Your voice is like the wind blowing through the highway fields in Illinois in the midst of spring So swift and soft, yet could catch the attention of any person perusing through Your hands are like gravel I fell into when I was learning to ride a bike Rugged and painful to the touch however I cannot stop touching and yearning for more Your smile is blinding just like the sun's reflection over Lake Michigan in the summertime It has left everyone who viewed it enamored by its beauty and coming back for more every possible opportunity Your demeanor reminds me of my childhood and all of the love I wanted to feel when I was young Rare and sublime and everlasting

Soulless Kissass
London train departing from platform nine We are pleased to say that it’s right on time Passengers scramble on with their luggage Looking for empty seats in the carriage I sit at the window, gaze at the sea Trolley comes down with sandwiches and tea Conductor appears looking for tickets Lots of hands searching in bags and pockets Girl in the corner, engrossed in her book Man in the suit gives his files a last look Plenty of people perusing their phones Lovely old lady sits quiet and alone Everyone stares at the guy with tattoos His barely dressed girlfriend with high-heeled shoes Young guy with the headphones, chewing his gum Little kids clinging on tight to their mum Meaningless small talk, chatting with friends Train’s getting slower, journey will end Finally here at my destination New adventure begins at the station

Your Earthly Myths and fears Fall hard on Traveler's ears (Yes there's many of us) You bound yourselves To earth Where your Superstition has giving birth But if you truly seek The real deal Fear not to breach A greater free will Come with us To another dimension Where being of light Need no inventions Be a master, not a slave We were never created To be trapped in a maze! "Cné" Desperately I long to go Where creativity flows No fear of the unknown Or of some maze that is shown By light, warm and unburning Star littered night skies Observing hair blowing in the wind Bright eyes shining with a glint Unbound by time or place Before the lost of innocence, faced I'll give my hand, in trust to another dimension, or bust... "Temporal Fugue" Through the mirror Traveling the unknown maze Gazing on, site's unseen And setting them, ablaze Through the universe Pausing to explore Perusing the next, traverse And wanting, so much more Masters of discovery Trust, holding out her hand Knowing forever and a day Just a woman, just a man. (Was that a yes or no?)

The Traveler's Invitation A Collaboration Of Three with Cné & Temporal Fugue
I was doing research in Hubei Where they executed Yu, That deity soldier glorified By Buddhists, Taoists too, I sat perusing manuscripts That dated from the Ming, And came across a reference About Yu’s finger ring. A ring of gold so broad that it Would fit a peasant’s wrist, For Guan Yu was a mighty man His ring, an amethyst, Set round with groups of diamonds It was lost the day, they said, That Sun Quan had ordered them To lop off Guan Yu’s head. They lost it for a thousand years It turned up with the Ming, Was lost again in battle with That mighty force, the Qing, I’d heard it round the market place A whisper, now and then, That ring, it might have surfaced In the village of Maicheng. I scoured the streets and alleyways For signs of old antiques, Researching as I went, I walked Around the town for weeks, I found a backstreet corner shop One night, and open late, Run by a dodgy Chinaman A total reprobate. He had links to the Triads, they Would come into the shop, A shifty group of gangsters with Their stolen goods to pop, From where I sat with manuscripts Up on the second floor, I’d look straight down the staircase Watch them come in through the door. One day they brought in a bundle Tied up in a burlap sack, Threw it down on the counter, said: ‘What do you make of that?’ Fang Zhang then opened the parcel and He pulled out a giant hand, The flesh the texture of leather with A monstrous golden band. The ring was almost immoveable The hand, with fingers spread, Could grasp a maiden around the waist Or crush a warrior’s head, I held my breath as the Triad tried To disengage the thing, And all the while the diamonds flashed On that massive golden ring. Fang Zhang paid over a block of notes That looked more like a brick, There must have been a million Yuan From what I saw of it, The Triad left and I caught my breath Fang Zhang had pulled it off, He threw the hand in a ******* bin And then I left the shop. He hid the ring as I walked on through I had to get some air, I’d caught a glimpse of a famous ring, A thing I couldn’t share, They’d say it didn’t exist, that I Was dreaming, if I tried, They thought that it had been lost to view The day that Yu had died. I went back down the following day The Police were there in force, They stood out front and barred the way From normal *********** They told me through an interpreter Of the ****** of Fang Zhang, His face was black, for around his neck Was a massive, ringless hand!

you are the words that breathe through me. lift, move me. the item for a shopper's perusing; for use and abuse-ing. i'm your bend over barbie doll, your late night ***** call, the push over & the fall. i scrape myself off your boot; keep waiting for trees to bear fruit. it's funny how you can **** me til i'm lame & i still believe i deserve more pain. how can i believe i'm worth your while when i know you don't care about proving it to me? it's so much sexier for you to see me beg, watch me grovel & worship your **** as if you are my only hope (for all intensive purposes, i mostly believe you are; you save me from facing myself at night. seminated distraction as masochistic salvation). leave me mangled gasping hair tangled in your fingers grasping & you're lingering by the door, contemplating whether to leave me or take me on the floor. this is all i am to you: tested tried wrong used. bleed me until you stop seeing red, drag me willing or indifferent back to your bed.

Perusing poet’s pandemic prose A question in my mind arose Angst aside what have they got Ill tell you friend It’s not a lot Excuses for the lives they lead Plant the idea Nurture the seed Willing victims succumb to their charm Understandingly Unerringly Blind to the harm The harm of a contrived reality Dressed up as spirituality Pretence of a world that doesn’t exist Sensibility shrouded in gullible mist Hurt worn as a badge of pride Careful it’s not misapplied Lest they see your Jekyll and Hyde Wary what’s put out in rhyme Slowly ******* you in One at a time Once the carrot is gobbled up Once they drunkest from the cup No holds barred The game is on Universally singing the same old song This life I lead has ****** me dry Left me often wondering why Life lived only on the edge Carefully honouring the kudos pledge Passion intense is Their line of defence Bruised and battered Tattered and torn Eternally waiting for life to return So…Readers beware of the poets lure Their chosen words are not the cure This Forum is their new aged lair In shadows waiting to ensnare Whilst drowning in narcissistic despair You’re a fragile soul With a fragile life And they will wield their pen Like a well butchered knife So please… do not believe that you are The One You are merely a chapter in a story that’s already begun

Perusing Poet's Pandemic Prose (re-post)
The subject of this email is as usual... subjective! Not sure there is actually a subject involved? I mean if I just ramble on about any old thing that crosses my mind, how would that be described as a subject. I submit that the "subject" line of all emails should be moved to the end of an email! That way we would have a better grasp of what the subject of the email truly is. Better yet it should automatically prompt you to go to the subject line when you click "send" to fill in at that time. Maybe the email program should even give samples of possible subject lines based on google's interpretation of what you have typed in the body of the email. Better yet that program should just run automatically and impose a subject line based on the information in the message body after it is run through several psychiatric data bases and analyzed and a consensus has been reached... Hmmm... Now I'm thinking that there should be a mind to keyboard interface so we can do away with all this time-consuming typing! And while we're at it why not add a chip in our brains that thinks for us and sends the data it receives directly to the keyboard interface... I mean think of all the time we would save not having to think any more! Why stop there? We can also add emotion chips so that when we are letting our thinking chip talk for us we can also have the emotions that our emotion chip thinks we should be feeling automatically inserted into the email with the capability of it being felt by the emotion chip in the person whose thinking and keyboard interface chips are perusing the email written by our thinking and keyboard interface chips. Ooooh now I'm really thinking... why not install mini SD drives in our brains so we can change the way we feel by simply inserting a new SD card? That way if we happen to read one of the emails thought out by our thinking chip, written by our keyboard interface chip, analyzed and consented to by the psychiatric data bases and given a subject and we decide that we want to change the way it is perceived by the thinking chip of the recipient we can simply insert a different emotion SD card into our SD drive and have those new emotions embedded directly into the email! *** This is genius! Imagine the time we could save! I could just go on and on with this! The applications are limitless. Why hasn't someone thought of this before? Oh wait, what am I thinking... this is old news. This is called brainwashing and the government and every major company in the world has been doing it since the dawn of capitalism! I'm going to stop now because I am no longer sure if the words I write are my own, or if they are just a bunch of noise created by the humm of all the post hypnotic suggestive clutter in my brain from years and years of commercial TV and slick politician abuse. That's all I have time for this morning. I apologize in retrospect for the emotional agony I have put your brain through while reading this inane banter...

I'm going to stop now because I am no longer sure if the words I write are my own, or if they are just a bunch of noise created by the humm of all the post hypnotic suggestive clutter in my brain from years and years of commercial TV and slick politician abuse. That's all I have time for this morning. I apologize in retrospect for the emotional agony I have put your brain through while reading this inane banter...

In a desolate desert where peaches are scarce An oasis appears and a goddess prepares To ****** her next partner with apples and pairs And proposing a union she takes me upstairs Into the skyline and over the weather To a room in the clouds we inhabit together The book of life opens, she reads me my rites Informing my dreams for a thousand more nights Our foreplay, like Gospel, begins with a word Whispering wisdom and secrets unheard While waves of effulgence wash over my ears And unspeakable lightness conveys me to tears The courtship completed she lifts up her veil Undresses her figure and shows me her tail Her gown on the floor in a soft silky heap And we drift to the bedroom where cherubin sleep Melting like butter, collapsing before her Her miracle strength has me backed in a corner And so I surrender, no use to resist Beaten by Ishtar, I wait to be kissed She spreads herself open, unnaturally wide Receiving my body and spirit inside Inserting my tome like a book on her shelf We form an anthology, bound in one self No match for a goddess and giver of life And yet we conjoin as a husband and wife The muse and the poet are spun in one strand Just see how my pen is now firm in her hand With one leg in heaven and one in my bed I recline and receive her celestial head Arousing my mind and exchanging our dreams Through visions that swim in ethereal streams Perusing her volumes and rarely seen stacks A scholar who studies the shadows and cracks I reach out to ****** her wavydark hair Her substance reflecting like dust in the air I dip in her inkwell again and again In search of the words that will flow from my pen Receiving and giving, a cycle unending Eternal rewards from the muse I’m befriending

Ode to Ishtar, Dame of the Matrix

~~~Black Sky~~~ *Moonlight dims and go into blur, Guiding stars hide behind a monstrous view, Bereaving clouds gather as the sky turns dark Spreading, As it ruves and hover, Perusing the sky From dark to black, Moments in circles As rain comes calling, The air smells silence As a black night emerges The moon has gone hiding There's no guiding star There's no glowing moon And all that is left is black A black sky* All rights reserved Ovi©

~~~BLACK SKY~~~
Saturday morn bedded in quiet, the days of noisy children invading, decades back so we lay together blessed and blissed Me, drafting words into ship shapes, She, perusing boots pocketbooks and A line dresses for some occasion I start to cry for I alone know she is the far, far better poet, but refrains from composing in words...for my sake she says soft, while drinking my tears and comforting, *"helping you to compose, giving you peace of soul, and verdant happiness, my darling, is more than enough"*

Dear High School Me, Freshman - It's not you. It's not your fault. You are who you are and don't let anyone make you feel bad about that. Don't change yourself to please them, it won't work. You'll be accepted, but still held at bay. You'll never truly be accepted by them, and that's okay. You don't need their acceptance. You are human, and so are they. They aren't better than you, and you aren't lesser than them. Sophomore - You've accepted yourself, congratulations! Focus on that during the rocky times. This year will be the hardest one of your life. You'll try to end your life before it can begin. The present is painful, but the future is beautiful... Focus on that. The "weird" behaviors you have right now are coping mechanisms, don't be too hard on yourself. Your body is trying to protect you. Let it. When they follow you into the bathroom and you feel like you're in danger, listen to that feeling. Don't start blaming yourself, none of this is your fault. When they stalk you, and tell you that they're broken and utterly in love with you even though they've never met you before, that is a sign of psychosis, not a sign that you need to fix them. Don't let them guilt you into doing things you don't want to. This year will end, things will start to look up. Junior - Don't let her guilt you into befriending your stalker. Use your backbone, you have one for a reason. You're allowed to dislike people. Especially people who stalked you. (seriously self, *** were you thinking?) Sing. Sing loudly and sing proudly. Don't be scared. This is what you love. Keep looking up. You will get out of this town this year. You'll go to a place where people accept you. You'll find your passions. You'll find yourself again. Senior - This is your year of recovery. Use it wisely, but don't be scared when it comes to an end. You can't put off life forever. Dear Present Me, you're a performer. You adore theatre. You have goals and passions and you're in college perusing them. You're singing, and learning, and loving, and laughing, and being you. And I am so, so, proud of you.
