Cole Phillips A warm jungle night. A jaguar stalking its prey with fright. The sound of the light rain and wind. The lonely ant eater has no idea what is lurking in the dark. A perfect target for such beast. The night grows long and the jaguar finds it's place to strike. The jaguar preparing for a long battle. When in reality, no battle is needed at all. The jaguar kills its prey and feasts Cole Phillips

The Jaguar
If I were a cup of black coffee you take me just the way I am. If this were a thanksgiving dinner you'd be the turkey and I'd be the ham. I'm the water and you're the sea I'm the sailor and what I really mean is; you complete me.  If this were a battery you'd be the positives and I'd be the negatives. If I were a holiday you'd be the festive's. If this were space you'd be the stars that form my galaxy. If I were a driver in New York, you'd be my taxi. If I a flower and you the bee, then it's clear to see that what I really mean is; you complete me. One ways, u-turns, dead ends and yields, green lights, left lane merge and a squashed bug on my windshields. If I were a Bic ballpoint pen then you would write out every sin. If this were it, it would be the greatest love there has ever been. Road signs and paper, fantasies and nature cannot help to say in such a little way that all I try to convey that what I really mean is; you complete me. If I were a song you'd memorize my lyrics  If this were February 1990 it would be Hold On by Wilson Phillips If I were a comic book, you'd be my nerd. If you were a photographer I'd be your bird.  If I a cold night and you the book by a fire, then I'd be the Hobbit and you'd be my Shire. If I a cup and you the tea then all there is left to say is...

To Bailey What up cousin? It’s been a while since we’ve spoken.. I’ve been tryin to keep my mind focused and stayin open.. tryin to figure out how to rebuild my heart again now that it’s broken.. hopin and prayin to some god that it’s all a dream an I’ll be awoken.. But I’m not an ignorant or irrational man, so it’s back to life as I know it.. now I sit here with pen in hand, talking to another lost loved one as a poet.. god **** every time it seems to get a little harder and harder to be stoic.. I do it for you, but my choice would have been to find a rock and hide far below it.. But I’ve held you down, an showed the world a face with a sculpted smile.. Meanwhile inside I strong armed my stomach to prevent the expulsion of bile.. mind racing, god ****** Just 29 years is nowhere near a long enough while!! and to think, you barely even got to spend 3 of those with your child.. It makes me want to shout to the stars and curse our own existence.. I guess I learned I can’t box god due to something about my arms and the distance.. so I’ve given up being angry about it and stopped my resistance.. but the one thing it’s affected more than any other is my persistence.. From time to time I’m gonna ask someone “has anyone told you they loved you today?” and if they say no, I’ll be the first person to show them a sincere display… YOU taught me that bailey, and no matter what, I’ll never let it slip away… I can’t thank you enough for your life, I wouldn’t even know how to repay! It’s those small perfect lessons we can all take from your life… I couldn’t even begin to tell them all in the course of one night… you were an amazing person to anyone who met you, a true delight.. people called you a shiner, a catalyst, a loving father, and a white knight… everyone had a story of how you had given them inspiration.. I can’t thank you enough on behalf of the world for your donations! I’m glad I could finally write this letter to show my appreciation.. the words had been escaping me with some trepidation.. I love you Bailey, always have and always will!! I can’t believe you’re gone but I carry on still… I soldier up when I need to then settle down to chill… I’ll see you when I see you, you know the drill… Rest In Peace: Bailey Paul McKeon-Phillips

Dennis Farina and James Gandolfini, always played a mobster meany. Peter O'Toole, famous actor, Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. President Nelson Mandela, Dennis Burkley, was a famous fat actor fella. Lou Reed, is now on the wild side, took all the colored girls for a ride. Conrad Bain and Bonnie Franklin, tv actors who had white skin. Paul Blair and Stan The Man, playing baseball, when they can. Marcia Wallace and Lisa Robin Kelly, both had ***** that bounced like jelly. Tom Clancy wrote famous books, not much on having good looks. Cory Montieth and Patti Page, one died young, other of old age. Jean Stapleton, was Edith Bunker, Archie always put her in the dumper. Pat Summerall and Deacon Jones, played football and broke some bones. Dr. Joyce Brothers and Pauline Phillips, they both gave good and bad tips. Ray Manzarek, from The Doors, Jeff Hanneman knew all Slayers chords. Chrissy Amphlett, liked to touch herself, Caleb Moore's trophies are on his shelf. Mindy McCready and George Jones, both hit those country tones. Chris Kelly from Kris Kross, Ed Koch is a New York loss. David Frost and Roger Ebert, always had words to insert. Anneitte Funicello from Mickey Mouse Club, Eydie Gorme almost got a snub. Jonathan Winters, was very funny, to come from Mork's egg, made him money.

If only they could understand were I've been and how far I've come, this smile on my face is a Polarod Picture full of fun. With love and cuddles there’s always a shoulder for you to cry on, it’s amazing because The Last Piece to my puzzle has been found. I love my x-box the adventure in this game has just begun, got the keys to the Bat Mobile Gotham City here I come. See the Joker thinks his funny until Robin comes along, my heart is like a diamond it sparkles all day long. My smile is a memory that catchers you when you fall, I'm strong and I'm a leader and I’ll always be there when you need me. My I-pad has an app that’s so relaxing when I need it, I'm **** and I'm Naughty I love teasing as you please me. Hears the key to my heart love it as you become part of my destiny. This poem I wrote for my friend “K J Phillips” Jidos Reality 1.11.12

by Shannon Phillips Hi! I'm an undiscovered poet, No one seems to care to know it, I wrote 160 and more to come, They are my feelings and mind talk on paper. People see them as nothing but paper, But the wise, smart, and beautiful enter them As another world made by pen from hand.         A new discovery is me,         yet so undiscovered, see,         come, come,         cross the deep, dark ocean,         swim my sweet sea,         fly my fine few skies,         get swooped up soon and soothed in my world,         be taken by my air,                  WIND!! In my world you are a piece of clean paper, You can be anything you want to be, Float finely like a feather, Stay free in any kind of weather, But still people are afraid to see through concrete, Afraid and forbidden to see,   So, still undiscovered iz me.

Undiscovered Iz Me
She sat alone At lunch everyday No one ever noticed The tears on her face She was lost She hoped someday Someone would find her And pull her back into reality Out of her world of darkness And despair Out of the swirling sadness Called her life She could find no refuge In books or toys She didn't play sports Or join clubs She stayed home alone everyday Doing homework And sitting by herself Until one day She went up to the attic And in the corner Found a flute Silver and shining, She picked it up Its weight heavy In her frail arms She lifted it to her lips And started to play The sounds drowned out The sorrows Of the week behind her This instrument, Silver and shining Might just be her refuge But not by choice So perhaps, Her savior -Madi.S

Adaptation of instrument of choice by Robert Phillips
Black Israelite haters, excused, led to schoolboys reviled and accused of white racism, hate. The reaction was great-- but the whiteboys were merely amused. Progressives were driven berserk by a teenager's innocent smirk. The old shaman tried shaming: and drumming and blaming, but none of those strategies work! Mr. Phillips, the activist drummer gave Regressives their Indian Summer-- till a teenager's smirk drove the demons berserk and made dumbed-down regressives much dumber. If a smile is a cultural crime then the criminals need to do time. Every whiteboy must go in this cracka-ass show and I'm guilty for reason of rhyme.

I've always waited for this moment, An all-pervasive coming-to-be It has permeated my existence since infancy, My illusory life that began when I died When I fell from my heaven Into the ego traps of Owen Phillips The pathetic human shell I've come to inhabit He is too weak to contain me, to enact my desires He must be destroyed, That I may return and be a self-actualizing soul In the infinite blissful embrace of every imperfect beauty I ever longed for in my lowly, cowardly human skull

Ego Trapped
I carry around a Phillips head To tighten up any loose screws An empty bag I keep in my hand To collect all the marbles I lose The elevator that I am riding in Doesn't stop at all the floors Happy with insanity Who out there could ask for more The toys that are in my attic When they come out to play Take my hand as we skip through Bizarro land On any given day Card games are entertaining But they are always over so fast When what I'm holding in my hand Is not quite a full deck Being four quarters short of a dollar I will never strike it rich Nor live in the nicest of places Having a load that's short a few bricks So if you come a knocking And find nobody at home I'm out on the streets of crazy But believe me I'm never alone

Your grandad was a literal ****** and your gran stole flowers from graves. Your mother's red lipstick was drawn near her nose, and she didn't know how to behave. Your family ate dinner whilst watching TV, and your mother would squawk like a hen, when her son would switch over from the results of Big Brother to catch up with the News at Ten. 'Gay and mad eh? Here's a TV tray, and I'll smack you if I see a tear.' I love that your mother helped me discover Reality TV and beer.

I still haven’t bought gloves, though I had steel-toe boots for awhile. Callouses are waiting for you to lay hands bare to everything you own. You can go years without feeling the bottom of your own table. I moved Dad into his new house. This brings the total to 18 moves in 10 years. Mostly in 20 hour windows. You were around for 7 or 8 of them I read once that most of dust is actually stardust from micro-meteorites. It’s not true. It is actually dead pieces of you. I’ve inhaled more of us than anyone. Item highlights: 250 lb. End table with hidden safe inside Combination: unknown Garbage bag with mom’s clothes and one Phillips-head screwdiver Four landline phones tangled with their cords in a laundry hamper Seven phonebooks in a neat cardboard box Madalyn: Dad still has the small wooden sign you made him the one that says “Dad’s Workshop” in blue glitter-paint. Steve: Dad has recently bought a toaster oven, and he loves it as much as you love yours. He gave me the same speech about the difference in the taste of hot-dogs. You are both still in the pictures at his house. It startles me when your faces appear on the screensaver.

Dear Steve and Madalyn,
You're not alone, birds of a feather flock together Many torn umbrellas bearing the gloomy weather Many beings are sliding along Phillips curve Won't be counted unless you strain every nerve Keeping rowing upstream, come rain or shine Comfort is like whirlpool, take a hard line If not working then turn over a new leaf Atop the cliff, shout aloud and devour relief Empty pockets bake you in holocaustic oven Smiles and cries, that's how life is woven They will mock you but believe that you can Look before you leap or you're the marked man Visit every bloom like these young moths In witching hour, save your naive thoughts Don't wait for another day, though week has seven Build your castles here only, there's no heaven

You are not alone!
She was a girl no one ever chose for teams or clubs dances or dates Upon a rock solid bench she weeps hair cascading down her back covering her face and hiding her pain A very adventurous girl she was full of hope and joy but her true feelings not shown covered by the smile plastered on her face She played the drums to the beat of her heart from the harp she would lean upon each song, each string, each note, simply tore her apart She was a girl no one ever chose for teams or clubs dances or dates.

An Adaptation of "Instrument of Choice" by:Robert Phillips
It's not our faults we were happy Maniacally, brilliantly happy, Midnights in hot water and cold air, breathing into eachother's necks, "But what will happen when summer ends?" We scrabbled at each passing moment with stubby fingernails Teary eyes on champagne nights We always knew we were no more than fleeting chaos, Beautiful ******* chaos, We may have fit together in all the wrong ways but we were such a pretty sight. I could not crack open your weary mind, I could not crawl inside with a wrench and Phillips screwdriver and right all the wrongs, But I could whip your brain cells into a frenzy. I was everything that you did not need, But we were everything that we wanted to be. We tumbled our way down the domino track to the very last peice, And when our inevitable tragedy came like a cyclone, we threw up our hands in surrender on the last loop of that rollercoaster. And love has many meanings, So don't doubt that I meant what I said, love.

Regarding Her
She was a girl No one ever chose For teams or clubs Dances or dates She was a girl No one ever noticed Sitting in the corner of the room Always alone She was a girl Left outside in the freezing rain For the longest of times With no one to hug or hold She was a girl That held everything in and let nothing out It was only her eyes that revealed the story of her pain Being left out like garbage everyday She was a girl Who never spoke Yet didn’t need words to be heard One day you will finally notice -MMM

An adaption of Instrument of Choice by Robert Phillips
as deeply as this envious state crawls into my bloodstream I could never desire the admiration you receive because you are cherished only for your beauty no person commends the light you shine oh so ever brightly you're not appreciated for your aptitude your dreams are disregarded among the souls of the ungracious I pity you as you dwell in your permanence in the sky forsaken is your very existance you are doomed to that title for an eternity so while you are worshipped by millions it is a shallow approbation and I would rather be loved by no one

Shakespeare, gazing into a waning sky, said that her eyes were nothing like the sun. Collins, picking fruit from trees, said that she is not the purple wind in the orchard. To follow this long trend of un-blazoned poetry, I want to share with the world that you are not the Charlie Parker jazz jumping from the mouth of a black Phillips radio, nor are you the paper that I am writing this first draft on, nor the morning coordinate geometry that puzzled me today (or maybe you are). Even more so, you are not the moon- light staining trees, the stack of 18th century British literature in the study, your grandmother’s painting in the dining room. Nonetheless, you are you: masterful, opinionated, understanding; a beloved whose beauty is better left unmentioned in some new age poetry.
