"pollack" poems
Scraggly curl hair bounces in the air wagging with whisky eyes breezy pleasing the eclectic electric hectic now mind like finding a papaya inside an oyster battery powered like a pomegranate passionfruit flower growing and glowing around my trinity heart with the noise of a sphere's galactic ****** Crystal Citrine Mountains provide water fountains of sunlight as so tye-dye t-shirt hip-cat hippos smokin' coconut shisha bathe in barrels of bourbon. Lion snakes spit words of worlds hurling nebulous timeline's spiraling and crashing and splashing baptism ripples together painting Pollack Splatters with the aroma of Byrd Jazz Jam on rye-whisky bread. Fractal Berries served by the Far Out Faerrie Ferryman Skeletan with bejeweled emerald eyes winks while I read in the reeds panting in pan-flutes while water rabbits scamper into clay enclaves to bathe in pinecone designed sand-tubs. The hieroglyphic phoenix twists and skip-scats neon green vinyl turning the wind inside out to x-ray flames of fireworks.

Untitled Realm # 4-Triangle.7u
*Like the alarming abandon           & disarray of Jackson Pollack,     equally beguiling disciplined        skills in the classical baroque          airs of Antonio Vivaldi,    midst the wonderment and           wanderlust of a child,       I'm awe inspired, unfurled betwixt           your captivating demeanor*

Captivating demeanor
On a long journey across the night of an America I drove into the desert landscape and beheld Elvis and Morrison, Hendrix and Dylan In a ditch to the side of the road, with trash bags in their hands. They seemed to whistle while they worked, But the notes just wafted into the night, not nearly fast enough to catch my speeding Cadillac. In the morning, I stopped into a diner With my breakfast and coffee, I saw a newspaper that was guaranteed by the Andy Warhol himself to be one hundred percent truthful. I didn't read it. Had to get back on the road The desert went on forever, and in the oil fields I saw Jackson Pollack, standing by a gusher, Wearing a cheshire grin. I smiled back at him, secure in the knowledge that I would have enough gas to get where I was going. The announcer's voice blasted through my car's radio. He said Poe had solved overpopulation, and that Emerson, Thoreau, Uncle Walt and Miss Em had got their hands ***** and fed the entire continent of Africa. I shut him off and bore my eyes down on the asphalt ahead. I passed a drive in theater on the left side of the road and caught a glimpse of Scorsese accepting the Nobel Prize for Peace. Someone told me later that he and DeNiro had stopped genocide. I politely nodded and got back in my car. Out there was America and I was going to find it. Out there was industry and capital. Out there was ingenuity and hard work. Out there were my own bootstraps waiting for me to pull them up. Out there was America, and I was going to find it fast.

Out There Was America
On a long journey across the night of an America I drove into the desert landscape and beheld Elvis and Morrison, Hendrix and Dylan In a ditch to the side of the road, with trash bags in their hands. They seemed to whistle while they worked, But the notes just wafted into the night, not nearly fast enough to catch my speeding Cadillac. In the morning, I stopped into a diner With my breakfast and coffee, I saw a newspaper that was guaranteed by the Andy Warhol himself to be one hundred percent truthful. I didn't read it.

Sun feigns heat in a clear slate of blue above; I gaze upon pale, brown hills and fields through the smoke of my breath wishing it would at least snow. There was talk of cow-tipping when I was in fifth grade, but cows would've broken their necks. Ground covered in frozen grass is no comfort for fallen cows at 15 Fahrenheit. Our small lake transformed into a debating ground for skaters and hockey players, each vying for control over the weekend's primary source of entertainment. (The dreadful alternative: afternoons shopping with parents.) When it finally snowed, a wonderland was made, a knee-high, get-out-of-school-free card. We charted expeditions in corn fields, wooded creeks and stone-colored barns that were beguiling in the white of Chadds Ford pastures like untended English castles. Woods like a Pollack of burnt sienna and white, their only sound is weight of snow bearing down on limb. Beyond those whispers, just a roaring silence when I'm still as ice fingers trying to touch the ground from the roof. The cats of Baldwin's Book Barn nap easily within, as we dig for a pearl amongst makeshift shelves full of hard-bound reads for snow-bound youth. These felines, grown, need not the words, but the pages themselves for fine beds. A blue-white glow from outside casts a cold light, illuminating prints of Helga and Christina's World, a reminder to all who live down the road. On such a winter day, I didn't care to remember that soon there would be Spring kittens in the books, and a lake full of children's swimsuits.

I've returned from the cyclone Not quite intact These images are haunting me Every time I close my eyes. No patience for people Their ways take me under I erupt in fury far too often. My arms are a Jackson Pollack My face in the mirror a Salvador Dali I'm trying the best I can. The doctors throw cocktails of drugs my way, I don't remember who I am or care to even try Your either against me or on my side. I've been hurt too many times My eyes are likely to swim to the side I'm dizzy I'm dumped My days are too long My nights are too strong You think you've got it rough A little empathy, please Think of what it's like to be me.

Flipping Into The PTSD
The internal battle..eternal....(one from the vault) Lucifer and Jehovah dancing some mad bossa nova While angels on horse backs fought devils with black jacks The white dove of peace had surrendered his lease So God ripped off his wings.. he no longer sings Then the Devil ripped out his heart so it could end at the start. Wagner and Chopin got frightened.. ..and off they ran. But Beethoven and Bach were sat in the park Composing arias to fight Hells hot fires. While Chekhov and Handel burned coramandel But the smoke from that pyre stank like a byre. Socrates was sat dispensing the ethics Hippocrates swore while dishing out medics The Muses were musing one or two were enthusing Oooh look.. the good against sinner Let's go down the bookies and have a bet on the winner. Cometh the day cometh the morn Cometh the hour cometh the dawn. Here is Joshua blowing his horn And here comes Gabriel but all that he meets Are the countless dead lining up on the streets And the wounded and deathbound far far below I feel sorry for Gabriel I wish he could go. But Picasso arrives and cries My God it's my Guernica I'll do a pastiche Oh F*ck it he says and has a pastis (or two) Then Pollack turns up totally ****** Picks up a paint and says what I have missed? What a fantastic sight.. angels flashing demons crashing The hounds of Hell with teeth a gnashing Then Neptune arrives astride his watery chariot Scything through Demons and sat beside Judas Iscariot Mermen and mermaids mercilessly slayed By Beelzebubs prototypes Those that live in the black nights. But as the dawn breaks God knows what it takes So he sends for his legions calls out to all regions Take arms and do battle Till we hears Satans death rattle. And the heavens rip asunder to the sound of the thunder. Satan rings on Hells bell.. tells them all is not well Then disappears from our sight as if he's turned off the light. Then I awake with a start knowing that I've been a part Of something vast something grand A spiritual war being fought in this land I am alive and I shall survive. PRAISE BE.

My heart - delicate, and malleable undulates within two poles, seamlessly juxtaposed - beauty and affliction capricious container- truth and fiction; the sheer surfeit of choice reverberates with imperious diversion, settled invitation- loud and shiny things. Hard to breathe, I'm in exile slave to my emotions, obsequious and servile barren, cold and mute existence - the brute; tilted reminiscence, scars of loss contrive frames   around moments - footprints,   interminable - being and time. Infinite deity, triune polyphony artist of sublimity smearing shades of loneliness, vestiges of faith, to retrieve hues of meaning; oddly convivial prophets of reprieve. Orpheus lost Eurydice palpable discordancy suffused in time could not resolve without verse decidedly sonorous, canvas showered pain, splashed Jackson Pollack stain Love - onerous, deep beneath the veneer, it's mercy severe. Fiction from the first Eden‘s fatal gift, lucidity cursed altered cosmos murmur, parlance of disordered elegance; effusive language, phrasing art nouveau tacit script; ensconced within the fabric; create a Thirst torment - visceral and immediate. Ardor and innocence once quenched, render pathos in proportion to the pleasure, conveyance of beatitude The past absorbed into the treasure, Inscrutable Heart - devotion and turpitude desire, loathing and paucity affinity in abundance, fear and doubt inhabit certitude. ©2009 & 2011 W.S. Warner

The Beautiful Thirst
It's amazing, How words will only actualize our realities                                         Fully                                                  When they are uttered                                    Aloud. And once those unspoken realities transpire, It's as if the all the air in the world gets caught in a primordial vibration,                                     And those vibrations                                                                             Break the internal balloon                                                 Detaining veracity's ink                     Painting our insides like the canvas of Jackson Pollack.                                                                Seeping through soft tissue.                                           Spilling into chest cavities.          Sloshing around.            Saturating the hues of our flesh. A single utterance Resulted in irrevocable emotional Infiltration: "I'm in love" *********

There are times When the clock Stands still And has no use at all There are times When the hourglass Is empty Without  a single speck of sand There are times When true love Is not the fiery flame of bursting rose petals But holds the guilty pleasure Of a freshly exhaled cigarette Crying its way into split grey and blue wall paper Water stains splattered around Like a shotgun blast To the temple Of Pollack In this hour of stillness The sound of dripping water Is like A solitary fortress Filled with Ancient Chinese gongs The crow taunts with universal preciseness Staining itself with blind savageness They are like my ex's Crying for More and more Love Here This place of pink eraser head monotony Head bobbing as blue faced doctors Flick their butts into the eyes of God Their names being called half way through their break Their lives being spent and bent around the dismal dead Their lives to be revealed as the table of savage time slowly slowly turns And they will look into the eyes of the young and say... "That was me once" But here In this lapse between love and loneliness Ambition and Ambivalence Passion and Impotence Elegance and Clumsiness This place I Clumsily Naively Stumbled upon Where the block is ****** with heads With all that have come before me Strewn mile long entrails Lining a wooded dust covered stage As  thousands of peering peasants and tight tipped thieves and makeshift martyrs and raving royals Watch With keen and stale horror Here where eyes and ears and teeth belong to everyone who has ever lost Men and women Lift their heads Towards the last stretch Of key clicking Infinity Here In this place I turn and stare into the gritty haze Of the past I turn again Like the wheel of mismatched fortune Toward the blinding illusion Of a future With no clear stars In this place A lone tree poses atop a hill of fire and death and freedom And I stand Beside it As if It were My only True Friend

*don't worry, you're not watching ******** **** but it might be equivalent, given the stature of the words... i never knew why Hebrews complained at the word Jew sounding yuck, and the Poles never minded, even with Pollack... funny... anyways, you either accept this wording or you accept ******** **** your choice.... but censoring spelling is like inbreeding anti-literate farmers who have tractors instead of horses these days... bake that macaroon slightly more, i want to see a suntan on it; chance of a bagel thrown in gratis? i thought so... happy Hanukkah.* Hier stehe ich mit den Händen voll Blut Und trage in mir eine beißende Wut Du sagtest du wolltest den Körper von mir Und ich gab dir alles gerad wie ein Tier Ich kann nicht ertragen zu sehen dich leben So komm her zu mir lass dir den Todeskuss geben Viele lockte ich schon in den grausamen Tod Und auch du wirst verfaulen in der Kammer der Not Winsel um gnade oder schrei es hinaus Es gibt keine Hoffnung du kommst niemals mehr raus Denn hier ist dein ende und ich werde es lieben Zu weiden dich aus am Bunkertor sieben *Bunkertor sieben Am Bunkertor sieben*.

No one comes to see me In the basement, comes to know What is up in attics But a screwy lightbulb's glow Which more than one it took to change   My empty canvas walls From her Mona Lisa smile Into Jackson Pollack halls Having food fights with myself And cleaning plates of thought Yet leaving ***** dishes of The hungry nights they brought To an appetite for more Than the kitchens we confine Each microwaving minute To the tombs in which we dine Though silverware is sterling And gold the chandelier The finest china only made My family disappear Leaving me to parlor tricks To stoke my fire places And locked inside the study Of my most unwelcome spaces Where I learned of outside worlds Far beyond my private property And wrote of how to share them In a game of life monopoly Then took a **** on status quo And flushed away the norm   And shaved with cold steel sharpened on The water's never warm For in this house-divided I'm a one-man civil war Armed with rebel causes For a union to restore So my doors and windows are Always open for my guests But underneath the floorboard's Where I take all your requests

Home Alone
When lightning strikes a tree Sap boils, cells explode, bark strips off into oblivion And the tree melts, revealing a new form to the cool wind. When you opened your eyes through the guise of a fading child, I felt this happen to me. My heart struck by your thunder, the leaves and ashes Of my nerves Blasted away My DNA peeled away and there in its place lay a new man Melted into the shape you pounded me into With vicious eyes and stares that disintegrated injustice Almost like a new world lived within our gaze. Somehow, this universe has been opened Time brought us to this moment. Gravity Pulled us here. Revealed a blind spot in the folds Between the atoms and the space from my mouth to yours. We're like magnets Like polar reversal Hanging gardens of universal hope And a lust for comfort An insatiable hunger for simplicity And solace Uncompromisingly, we surpass the unnecessary and move straight into The Moments We Wished For. Closed blinds, wax and oil Steam rising from the drain Your hands entwined with my spine Hair a maze for our fingers You Are A mountain of passionate letters From kids who thought no one would read them, Sent through the ears of judges who never looked up at their victims You were an undeveloped diamond A sunset that someone polluted With lies of impurity and worthlessness. You wanted simply LOVE A true hand to hold you and show you That not everything in the world was so hopeless Well your father may not have been the one to do his ******* job And get right into all the reasons why you're beautiful so let me be the one To pick up his slack and change you. You're a raver with skylines in her eyes An excuse to roll out of bed with a smile Seventeen years of pent up compassion Waiting to be released on some lucky bystander Someone guilty of desiring you Of telling you You can do better. You were always the one Before we met Before we did whatever we could to be in the same room for more Than just a breath You may be a dragon, a cougar, A Jackson Pollack spattered with blood and *** And anger and years of self-doubt But I am your new canvas And right now, I am empty. And you are overflowing with colors.

The museum feels like heaven, feels like I could walk into the corner Pollack and the indiscriminate Monet, but there’s the characterization of Thomas Kane and you hate Mondays security guard. The man with a beard followed me all the way from the Impressionist room to the modern films and when he finally made me lift my eyes from the canvas, his were turquoise and shook me awake. I kept running up the stairs because I finally found out where they keep the hidden garden with the spiraled copper fountain and I laughed when I found my reflection in the Italian enamel. You fell asleep with your head on my knees. The weight of your skull was alarmingly heavy, so I played with your hair until you woke up. The moment of recognition on your face was so human I wanted to cry. You scrunch up your eyebrows and touch your glasses trying to remember and a tiny echo of a perfect smile plays on your lips. You kiss me exactly and hum along. You carried a contraband white umbrella into the gallery so we hid it under a desk. Your helmet was still blank so I gave you some concept art. Your languid loss of service as a multitude of goodbyes allow me to kiss your forehead right as your thoughts hit the pillow. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that I understand why you tuck me into a warmer blanket before you leave for work in the morning with your heavy boots and your thermos and let me sleep while you shower and kiss me awake for breakfast with a cup of coffee in hand.

Brisk-- a slight whisp of northern wind rustles rainbow dewdrop grass, around me, blooming trees breathing deeply inward, their fresh foliage is an assortment of all green hues, a relief from the freezing, chill drab grays of winter... Dandelions splotch [arts of the grass-- nature's lazy Jackson Pollack homage. The sun seems brighter, the lighting a stereotypical 1950's Leave It to Beaver-esq TV show. Here I sit, wearing all black under a tree; the only thing colorful about me is the gold writing on this Pilot jet black pen dribbling these words in gooey black ink. I woke feeling uneasy & forlorn, like rising from a haunted bed. Not sure why... Even the dogs in this park trot with brighter velocity. A small grey/brown Scottie yipps at me, as if letting everyone know I'm an anomaly on this otherwise perfect day. Part of me wants to scream at all the people in their colorful neon running garb or shimmering salvation Sunday cloth, but another part just wants to jam this pen through my ****** straight into my heart & let the ink & my crimson, iron-rich blood seep into the ground, because those are the closest feelings I've found to express something there are no words for. Sounds like it might be one of those angsty cloudy type days.

Early Mourning Hymn #2: Under a Tree
Eventually the moon loses its shine over time. It dims and then fades; nature's greatest crime. The van Gogh you desired turns dim, then black. It's lost in the memories you won't get back. The stars you wished on burned out in the sky. Falling like tears that you refused to cry. Splattered like a Pollack, then erased from sight, Left alone to ponder your life in the night. It may be darkest before the dawn. But all of your dreams seem to be gone. You're channeling your inner Picasso blue, But dreaming of what else there is to do. Your easel is life, your brush be your decision. Will your masterpiece come from perfect precision?

Painted Skies
The gaslights on and the bills are due. Leftover rice for dinner again. School in the morning. Dead-end job with too few hours in the evening. Drunk at night. Drunk at night. Awkward encounters with women I don't know. But good too. Lot's of laughs. Deep wine fueled discussions into the early morning. Music,Music,Music. Fall extravaganza, Jackson Pollack on the mountainsides. Things change. Snow and cold and wind and ice. Hide by my fire. Wait for Spring. Wait for Spring.

Waiting for Spring
Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but he didn't invent Times Square; Hugh Hefner invented the centerfold but not the Internet; Walt Disney didn't invent motion picture cartoons, but he ran w/ it; Hell, Henry Ford didn't invent cars but u would think that he invented car crashes & exhaust; Van Gogh, Picasso, Pollack & Basquiat didn't invent art; they broke it; no one poet invented poetry; u wouldn't know it from the way they go on about it; have u ever heard a poet brag? it's kind of pathetic; oh, they get signed to lucrative contract occasionally; it's never enough; ask Dylan Thomas & Wallace Stevens, Bukowski & Eliot; poets have to pay rent & prostitutes just like everybody else; No, mankind has never really invented anything; he's not even his own best idea

Jackson Pollack
i who would have imagined i´ d have my very own computer we had wooden pens in a class of sixty.. two a third of a pint of milk every day (though i never made monitor..) in the summer the milk could become disappointingly tepid and in the winter the blue **** fed on the icing cream thus rendering it unfit.. (though we drank it any hows..) we all found that very charming and did not begrudge their ingenious ness.. (they who had no breakfast drank sometimes three bottles..) we had abacus or what ever the plural is.. (i don´ t care..) which if i am correct was a system of mathematic invented by the persians or so.. but my favourite lesson was propelling paint by a straw.. (i was a budding pollack..) the random and sub conscience.. and some old newspaper..oh yeah.. i used the same method years later to wean myself off ***** opening up pleasure that had been sleeping.. stimulating and fused.. now,i have a computer..!
