"phonetic" poems
You Sir, Are An Electrician! **technocrat — noun a proponent, adherent, or supporter of technocracy.** This city boy was expert at Turning the lights on, Unlocking the front door, Putting new batteries in flashlights, And calling the handyman to "Please come upstairs" When the degree of diving difficulty was a Positive number. Also, Freezing the semi-permanently the DVR, Triggering alarms, Killing car batteries, Making laptops question Human sanity, Tearing up when reading, "Some Assembly Required!" Raised in a city of experts, He was unskilled in things electric, Becoming apoplectic, When a device had an On/off switch that ignored him. Somewhat famous he was, For engaging the inanimate, In a verbal dialectic, Which included words highly phonetic, But unsuitable for children's ears. She was raised in rural pastures, Corn fields used for hide n' go seek, Riding goats after school Just for fun, Familiar with innards of Deus ex machina, a/k/a Minor engine repairs, and Doing what he called, Making reparations. IOS7, heaven. Cabling laptop to external devices, Icing on the cake, Dis and reassembling a German coffee maker, Did not require calling an 800 number. She never read an instruction sheet Without pleasurable laughing at Japanese English. He was unashamed of his skilled Unskilled characteristics, For such is the way of the world In the human kingdom, Some of us two handed, some of us, bi-standers. But upon occasion, He would bemoan his fate, Decry his inability to survive On a post-apocalyptic Earth, Like the people on tv and movies. Periodically he would grow morose, Listless, at his inability to adapt to a Point Oh world. Uncomprehending Icons and symbols whose meaning Were wholly unintuitive, He secretly ashamed of his need for technological ****** She would sense his frustration, Wipe away his inner condensation, Climbing into his lap, Whispering the following: **You sir, are an electrician of words, a verbal technocrat,** Plumber of the depths where Few fear to tread, explorer of the head, Restorer of human paintings unmatched, Without your ilk, this world would be unbearable, Your heart's warming silk Comforts bodies and souls, Speaking from experience personal. Then, she flicked his On/Off switch, On.

Subdued and Seduced
Both latter and former, contrary and congruent Neither gas nor solid, the river moves fluid. No end and no beginning, just water moving… swimming… A formless former that is a powerful latter Contradiction through symmetry and space within matter Passively energetic as potential becomes kinetic Transparently reflective and silently phonetic Thermally dynamic and fluidly frantic The waters maintain a static chaos through mathematical mechanics. Mechanically architected and architecturally mechanic Water seems the perfect medium for analysis of a dynamic. Dynamic existence and persistent resistance Statically chaotic seems the architect’s insistence. Equilibriomatic, with addition subtractive Empirical measures fail to analyze the passive. What simply is, simply is… Invincible to mimicry or microcosmic reenactment. Experimental methods seek to unify the synonymous Attempting to prove the objective with a subjective hypothesis. Learn from the water, let its metaphor be imminent…. For the divine externality lies not without, but within it.

Potential Kinetics and Silent Phonetics
I said it, because it felt so nice to say and because I can say it very well -in the moment I meant it but it's a bitter familiar spell I've memorized the phonetic stitches the spacing that knits a magic fleece that when draped over the shoulders of the mightiest turns them back to boys, gives full release the belief that love, real love, can be- I can teach any man to fall in love with love... just not in love with me.

*When ink kisses paper Leaving his marks on her Staining her Immaculate white Corrupting her innocent purity With unspoken words and lines, Punctuated with figurative styles, Embedded with phonetic rhymes Of divine charismatic beauty; Sweet poetic lyrics are born...* © Raphael Uzor

Graphic Romance
(This poem was discovered etched/burnt into the interior woodwork of a viking ship of around 800AD, discovered in the north of England in the '60s. Quite possibly from the northernmost islands around the area now referred to as Archangel, and originally written in what became known as Runic/Russo Scandinavian, it nevertheless resonates clear Saxon/German tonality. Given that it is one of the first examples of early Runic, and indeed that the actual letter-shapes are unclear, the poem has been reproduced below, using broad phonetic license. As far as can be determined, the content appears to be a somewhat ribald message from the ships leader to his wife. It was not uncommon for women/wives to accompany their men folk on long voyages. Given cramped conditions aboard, the conditions were likely to be insanitary and it is this condition that informs the subject). WJL Das andrs zu-almen su-cara Archezum des hafta confagra Der ecra zu alpe En pecra nachte schalpe Viel ondra der zulpa te bag-ra Und zortem pur ordour cloabera Eh-min-te ah solbra schactarar Sul-phereth zum tinctum Abroath ah den penk-tum Bai anthe con anthe ebactah-ra Zorbuhr genkst canke zer vilk-um Solginster zep ecra der nep-ehlcome Calmen-de ser paarte Eh zin bah die faarte Confide ah can-de zum schtinc-tulm

Arcum Nars te Incrum Sulfurum (The Eating of Eggs on Long Voyages)
It's kinda funny, in this Language, that the following two words should rhyme: Rise and Demise To me, it sort of implies a correlation: philosophically rationalized linguistic ties; phonetic lies, the phonetics lie. Which lie? Will I clarify? Certainly not! For it is double entendre; maybe more, maybe less. But nevertheless, the moral of the story is: [this] Language is kinda funny.

Rise and Demise
painting when being bilingual, the naked phonetics of the english alphabet, and the diacritics on the polish one, for example -sh- of the former and -sz- of the latter, but the painting is still entitled: trying to capture what was being said without lip-reading but by optics encoding the sounds, so that someone bilingual might decipher; and yes, dependent of aesthetics / orthography the -rz- versus the ż. azog szak gaum'dasz! blog kruto, goniś... gunwondersmargen'ś. azog mor'rzyrljisz? blog golumdo, sza zu lisz sza za duh. azog jam dysz! *** da kurz nak krza rzuk; arz ga bejark gundabadul, mar kam narm karszrz. mulgaj! a'naj! ursdraj! tu pu nam - ah me c!

phonetic painting of extended bilingualism
before existentialism, and nietzsche in mind, philosophy was written or spoken of accepting the socratic rigidity of words, the rigidity of words known through the socratic method of inquiry: the simplest of questions imposed on the meaning of words; e.g. what is virtue? but with existentialism this old method of inquiry, the poised posing bewilderment lost its quality, in that the new method of inquiry was given to stress not a method of questioning but that of ambiguity, even though this new method that simply said the reverse of what is virtue as the preservation of a narrative: "virtue" concedes many variations exampled true, e.g. - this dittoing going against - previously said / as above - became staged against a brick wall - since this method, the existential method of brushing aside inquiry and entering the realm of ambiguity was already present - the pluralism of meaning found in certain words; it isn't a question whether red or blue can be ambiguous, this allocation of noun and quality is all too pervasive - so when an ambiguity is allowed to exercise its stressor posit - the word in question is allocated a verb orientation in its exercise of use and example, further diluted by the quantity and lack of example, and ascribed contorting adjectivity due to the dilution of meaning: with lessened recognition of sought out qualification to sentence an enzymic perfection of: banker and philanthropist, priest and maximilian kolbe, poetry and lack of envy. even though these examples are idealistic, they provide the obvious ambiguity already apparent, hence the double ambiguity of opposites, ideal opposites. in shorthand - if socrates were to come upon reading existentialism - his questions regarding the virtues would be bound to free floating terms in the ditto bubbles of flimsiness of non-inquiry - bewildered by the number of prompts to question, there would be no necessary ambiguity to many other terms of inactivity - such as the previously mentioned red and blue, dog and glue, but too many, it would seem, should a strict belief in categorising virtue as a noun but not a verb be kept - for categorisation of such nature only provides a linear cascade without due action or cared for imitation - ending with the only chance of virtue chanced and seen as an unvirtuous person doing crossword puzzles in silence - and already virtue's opposite is engaged in defending itself and justifying its ills by first forcing many synonyms to cover it in ambiguity, and asserting itself as an adjective within a noun framework blunt: virtue v. unvirtuous will only confiscate siamese phonetic mingling to ease the definition; i guess that's how rhyming was born, the opposite of alphabetical ordering: a, aardvark                              the violet's blue                                                                    ****** a doughnut with you.

she has stars for eyebrows her phonetic smile says so much more tightly wrapped in the grey gaunt gauze of daylight eyes still closed i wait arms breadth away for her... to breath to open while mind touches upon her journey while pieces parts of her epiphany are spoon fed like chocolate grace into my feasting and willing heart i am the succulent afterword to her speech now uttered in its completion ...with its grand street ballroom upon which we all in our time of giddy laughter need to dance like royalty or fools ...with its back alley rainwater that washes away all those terrible yesterdays i am the sweat mongerer who waits for her sleeping to be roused... transcendental she sleeps with a soft drink while i nourish in the folds of her slumbering dreams

You Phony Us
Got me a dose of my own medicine and I can't stomach the taste. I spit it out and let the virus run a muck throughout the place. My mix-tapes are an act of meditation. A phonetic compilation. An auditory trepanation.   With a couple screws loose I'm beginning to know the drill, And already the hole is on its way to being filled. Though the void keeps my brain pulsing, still, as my self trepidation is yet to be fulfilled. Winter is a stone-cold killer. I can feel its icy fingers groping the back of my skull. Numbing the occipital lobe.  Static. Gray. Snow.  A visual forebode.   Neurotic overload. Sparks flying and dying. Light to dark. Good to bad. Duality deceased. Appoint the next fad.

The Intangible Cure
please forgive the slanty line between the words and common rhyme It's gotten out of hand, oh man, just sayin' nothing's worse but what what I mean a rhyming verse is not obscene yet hardly worth the birth of notes I'm playin' better to be out of words than force the ones you've always heard and bore you more with punctual partition set in golden platitude I'm working on my attitude a sadder dude would swear he's near Perdition I try to keep it off the cuff but sinking low, enough's enough and just as rough to find a way to end it not poetic suicide my own phonetic cuter side to find the brokenness and try to mend it thankful for the little things the corny rhymes and onion rings the stuff my dad would say to make us smile that subtle joke, so funny Dad and gee I miss you, now I'm sad and hope to see you soon " Just wait a while".

These words I write for you They fail to come true They crumble to letters Then phonetic sounds And soon they'll be gone And I'll still be around But you won't be found My pen will run out of ink My pencil lead will break My voice will go hoarse Ill still have these words All pent up inside With no way to get out No way to reach you No way for you to hear All these words I write for you

Words I Write For You
In your breath are magic spells Which wisp and curl on every word, And as they waltz, your rhythmic voice Becomes the sweetest sound I've heard. There is such phonetic grace In every phatic word you place, But should your lips eclipse my name, And let it slip with warm acclaim, Or better yet, in passions flame, Should you, with love for me proclaim, Then science, to its knees will fall As air will hold no oxygen, Nor argon, neither nitrogen, But beauty, magic. That is all.

In Your Breath
Plan to kiss no one without secret intent. Plan to kiss no one without meticulous method Plan to kiss no one without a hidden plan. Now You know Who you are. To think I should speak with you Is pessimist-dismissed So quickly The pen drops Before the thought Crosses The multiverse Mind Contained In paper Cranes. To think you would want To want To talk to me Is so ridiculous So out-there So cover-up Alien-conspiracy-theory Secret-society Cryptic-code Cartography. The phonetic Background Of my throat Shuts down Shuts up. Vowels in my stomach Bunch. Curves Of your face Shadows of your mind Overlay mine To camouflage. I could And would love you, Not ten fathoms But deep enough So We are suspended where light waves Cannot bend Breaking on coral Breaking on coma Waking up sleeping sand.

You Wouldn't
Verbosity A patchwork quilt that I roll roll up in Stitched with syllables Like a little phonetic sausage So deep inside you can't hear me go Dur dur dur. (insert self-deprecating quip about being a wiener) laughing track But it's cozy and neat. And if you do I'll rubix cube your dearest mind Til I'm tucked deep inside once again. And I'll softly pontificate about the genetic code and how it made your irises not quite hazel But still able to illuminate spontaneously teal, laurel, cyan, the sea And if you'll pardon my hyperboles They draw me strong as an Atlantic tide This ocean that ***** me the deepest inside Aesthetically, the contrast is startling to your skin An artist would capture the portrait therein But really, all you need to know Is they're the prettiest prettiest ******* eyes I've ever seen. And I'm sorry That when I get nervous My heart is a little effervescent My words become too efflorescent (I seek not to strangle you with King's English Shrubberies!) As you stand before me, incandescent My dread is that you're Evanescent. ... But that thing about your eyes. All you need to know. That thing about your eyes, Not to mince words But I think I'll feel that way always.

King's English Shrubberies

Both latter and former, contrary and congruent Neither gas nor solid, the river moves fluid. No end and no beginning, just water moving… swimming… A formless former that is a powerful latter Contradiction through symmetry and space within matter Passively energetic as potential becomes kinetic Transparently reflective and silently phonetic Thermally dynamic and fluidly frantic The waters maintain a static chaos through mathematical mechanics. Mechanically architected and architecturally mechanic Water seems the perfect medium for analysis of a dynamic. Dynamic existence and persistent resistance Statically chaotic seems the architect’s insistence. Equilibriomatic, with addition subtractive Empirical measures fail to analyze the passive. What simply is, simply is… Invincible to mimicry or microcosmic reenactment. Experimental methods seek to unify the synonymous Attempting to prove the objective with a subjective hypothesis. Learn from the water, let its metaphor be imminent…. For the divine externality lies not without, but within it.

Potential Kinetics and Silent Phonetics
There, a sick little finger sat with veins and skin, on a hand that used to say so much (It doesn't exist anymore). A long time ago, you could see how it might have moved slightly, pulsed occasionally, and touched. There, underneath a couple feet of immalleable congestion, a pair of eyeballs rang with such phonetic power, that today it might give you shock (They're silent now). And, of course, a smile (that no longer holds its power) could comfort you for longer than the average mouth. Yet, the smile, eyes, skin, and veins, and sick little finger may still be, for she who holds them is real as can be. But surely, she is gone now, as two feet of soil is no different from two years of distance.
