"prodigies" poems
It is worse for a tulip to live again and be renewed than for the tulip to die and be dead. “What happens when you die?” I asked several romantic partners over the course of my adolescence. “You’re dead,” they answered. It is worse for the tulip to be born again, dust to dust, dirt to dirt, true god from true god, in a process that spiritual peers define as, reincarnation. No tulip is an individual (that is clear), but a process. A perfecting oneness. I can’t admit or bend to any resounding belief that every tulip is the same. That FernGully was a farce and Pocahontas, a phony. That is just not going to fly. Maybe it is the environmentalist inside me speaking, or maybe it is God. I refuse to believe the prodigies and professors of renewal and rejuvenation. I can not discount individuation, even in tulips! Tulips are victims of suburbia, they have been relegated to the lawn, to the mulch bed, but inside of them there are remnants of humanity. I couldn’t believe it, ever. Not ever, even if you convinced me or bribed me or seduced me. No chance.

Tulip
Who is she but blood of that demise In fiery passion her own blood consumes? Like powder waiting for the heat of flame Whose heat in lonely agony she bathes? What is it but fire of that demise Whose sacrificial prodigies be made To keep him superstitious of the flame? And in triumph, like fire, they consume.

Digital Dreams & Fictional Desires
Consisting of grown, persisting as shown and unknown. Insisting entities, rivalries and sworn enemies! Deformed, forewarned, formed, informed, mourned, performed, reformed and scorned. Dates of great storms! Family tree of hate, horns and thorns. My family tree of gore, horror, more, poor and sore. Perhaps of mishaps galore. Briefly sit back! I’ll roughly take you back… Heck! Back to a time of attack, blacks, slacks and whacks. My family tree of practical, tactical, methodical Aztec. Some beckon and reckon in seconds. A family tree of crime, grime and rhyme. A nation of communication, dedication, dissemination, motivation and procrastination. The splendor of sin of my corruptive, disruptive kin. They rely more on the color of one’s skin. My family tree of abuse and misuse that misuses and seduces! Family tree of warfare and welfare legalities, moralities and family-prodigies. Picture this scriptural twist! Some assist on a kiss. I insist some are idealities in social technicalities. Alcoholics, diabetics, ****** exotic, fantastic, Catholics, eccentric, horrific and poetic. I persist… some gnomes, some roam, some in poems, some with no homes. My family tree of adventuresome, awesome, handsome and troublesome. My family tree of beautiful and bountiful! Some are a handful some handicap some locally and vocally-rap. Some slap, gift-wrap and yap! Some are snuggly, pretty, witty or ugly. In my family tree, some crippled, some with pimples, some with freckles and some that heckle. Some belittle and little, some wrinkled and old. Some are bold and pray to the lord! Some are Frio, meaning cold we were told. Some I say, are poor with no Amor. Some are here no more, in my family tree of Amor.

POEM ENTITLED: “MY FAMILY TREE OF AMOR”
Consisting of grown, persisting as shown and unknown. Insisting entities, rivalries and sworn enemies! Deformed, forewarned, formed, informed, mourned, performed, reformed and scorned.

My anomalous trip thus far has been dichotomous. Harbingers motivate my advent: a chorus. Acceptance of frolic ventures sent: a quest. My sneakers meet familiar soil at last. Designed to be a panacea, yet I fall ill. Sleets of rain impact my soul: a slight chill. Hazed trance, awashed clean of all acrimony. A lurid stroll, downhill, parallel, perfunctory. I, a stoic mercenary, avenging my ties tonight. Arcane magic flow through my veins, my sight. Moisture sparkle, glistens through my mental maze. Resistance, control: I attempt to regain ablaze. Synaptics fuse, burn, misfire, discombobulate. Higher functions remain: calculus, formulate. Veritas! Visual focus be on 2D layer sharp. Disintegrated data sung with melodious harp. Laissez-faire slayed by Communist meritocracy. Mental hierarchy arise from wayward sorcery. My affection for her nets only melancholia. The amity cease... yet reborn by spying cornea. Upon a hill from sea to sea brings forth diplomacy. Lively lads, enshrouded in black; they be prodigies. Persons of worth: one stranger joins their ranks. If my creed offend, beg you pardon pranks. Silent drizzle softly sings of night and majesty. Lament under moonlight, behold gray sanctity. Ne'er shall dreadful turmoil befall our facilities. Literature conceals such divine secrecy.

Felicitous Hindsight
Your interest is piqued By we the people, The prosperous poor. Pacified by things As simple as passion, We push, Pull, And punch Our way to the peak. You're puzzled By our paedarchy Where the puerile rule For they are the prudent. We are the prosperous poor, The pauperized children, Packing our hearts With dreams of progress And thoughts of prodigies. Poor by birth, Prosperous by personality, We are the prosperous poor. We, the children of poverty Who have been pure only in heart Will proceed To prove that the poor Are prosperous at heart. The prosperous poor Are only prosperous Because they have felt the pain Of the poor.

**** prodigies
Here I stand on the 108th parallel, the bridge between sanity and belief, a train station situated between the hectic and the inane, around me stands a group of strangers. Some of us are good looking, some are intelligent, some are both, all are worthwhile. Some are talented, some are prodigies, some will change the world, all will succeed and all will fail. Some are believers, some are confused, some will blaze trails, others looking to them for direction, all will eventually find their way. Some will teach from the pulpit, some from the altar, and still others from the streets, all will make a difference in his eyes. Some of us will live happier ever after, some will fight depression, others will struggle with anxiety, and in truth, all are loved. And so here I stand, on the 108th parallel, surrounded by friends, in a place that we may one day forget, but in the end, when all is said and done, the remnants will remain, although the stitches holding us together are often unseen.

The 108th Parallel
The fools' contempt is what we need When everyday is all filth and greed And while the heavens sing from above The hurting children cry out for love We open our filthy palms Just to escape this terrible fate Of lies, and thieves, and worthless things And only words of hate The gay men, the starving children, and the drug addicts are bombed Satanists and alcoholism The freedoms we had Now prejudiced and gone Suicides are left and right As the animals start singing The Moon weeps for her children As the Sun is merely sleeping Where did they go? What is wrong It is time to escape this fate That we have invoked all along And as the blood in our veins feels like it's about to burn The end of the day And the tears we cry Is all a lesson learned Now cry for the last lullaby All hope is gone From the voices in our heads And now we die! Side by side and hand in hand On the battlefield Where our bodies are merely one grain of sand. We cause pain to our dying brothers And become ourselves, merely traitors.

Prejudice and Prodigies - We have the power to change
The beat, the snare, the drum Starting in at the floor and flying to my brain **** all the people who say I’m numb I’m sane, oh so sane! My thinking, once a cloudy, congested, coagulate of incoherent thoughts, Now flows free from its once catastrophically, closed chasm, Bringing fourth meaningless, mindless motions and movements, Showing all, that you are who you are, don’t be afraid to fall. As the smoke clears, the crystallized casts of crushing vocals Radiate to my ears; all we hear is the hate, the hassle, the hustle The bustle. Look beyond what has spawned to see what you find fond. Blinded we remain; we fight, frightened and furious against this foe. Conformity hinders our ability to show individuality. They attack us With ambidexterity to keep us statues of our own subconscious design, Yet we continue to follow these wrongly deified prodigies. They’re using Us as antibodies to cleanse what are others conformities. Enlightened I will stay to ensure Elysium for my fellow enthusiasts. Free from these prodigies, my persistence will not fade To grey, black, white, withered, wretched wasted thoughts. My mind is free, my soul deep, this music is the up-beat.

Music and Government
I aimlessly drifted in teenage years, From subtle scion to zaftig plebe. Seen phony glory, vanquished fears, And the stench of a wicked glebe. From below, saw the stars up high, Igniting horizons with callow wonder. Beheld colossal beauty with mine inner eye, Begged for chained thoughts asunder. Amidst the serene flock to be slain, Oft' a titan, seldom a vacant savant. Known sorrow, elation, gain, vain, pain, This mortal hour, hear joyful lament. How quick we are to bid farewell, How slow for friendship to pierce the cloth. The rhythmic ache of that darkened knell, The sobbing whimpers for a lover's warmth. Nix for reciprocated amity, yet! My seat of affection thrives in twilight. Herein discipline is adamantly set, Whence shall this ****** ire take flight? Into the night that covers my soul, Unleash that verdant star I see. The divine abyss have taken its toll, I pray the shadow is only me. Note the ease to neglect one's clan, Yet savored glee of reunions by blood. Fury cease my elder ties, an infant plan, By filial ardor, I still kneel in mud. Star-shine ablaze onto vivid blooms, Arise the stench of broiling debris. Beauteous summer-tide metronomes, The sinking scythe follow gales of peace. Labor come sweat yield sweet fruition, Tis annual come the bronze harvest. Wrongful vengeance seek humble redemption, Autumn under siege of well-fed zest. Stormy vista rime graying meadows, Entrench the sepsis by the ice age. Taste weeping woe of guilty widows, Lest their beloved hunger in cage. Arise young lilac out of barren frosts, Touch the vital aura to begin anew. Altruists gladly pay auric costs, To stalk vile leviathan into dew. May stones bear indistinct distinction, So my stride shall stumble and falter. Peace paint heroes of sluggish fiction, Chaos rouse prodigies from quiet slumber.

solitude and shadows are one the sound of the sun as it falls towards the horizon lift up your eyes to the sky for it reminds me of why i love you burn up these memories allow dreams to disagree for if we are truly meant to be then we’ll surely see each other again ferment the leaves in jars our lives may lead to scars but if we allow our hearts to guide us we may find that there has always been a star inside us blinded by beauty’s face the secrets you have kept safe its time to let them out the knowledge of the soul removes all doubts as it unfolds all is one forever, without all is one forever, we shout blessed are we lovers and angels blessed are we thousands of faithful blessed are Thee, light’s prodigies for lovers and thieves are all equal

I don't understand it. Everybody want to be a savage. Upscale and overdramatic 90's mentality, I'm still fightin' madness. So tell me What you know about classic? Better think, before you pop off at the mouth and do anything drastic! I never changed I continue to do me 956 to 323 I got power I am father to many prodigies I'm going to stay on top of the game, until they body me. So you made a couple of hits So you qualify as a hitter? Stop calling yourself a killer if you ain't about it ni**a Gotta be outside the box This is why You cannot frame me for any picture! None of you, about the smoke but be so quick to burn it all Just like a swisher! I cannot face time, rather not waste time. Most of you get loco When you be on the liquor My foundation stands by me. This is not vengenace, this is vigor! So stop trying to use my lines You's a stolen-style shifter You ******* stolen-line-spitter I'm not saint. I rather not be a sinner. I tell my child You can do ANYTHING! Daddy will always rock with ya! 2021, new era, new me, I am done ******* with you pretenders!

Freestyle: **** Pretend. I'ma Do Me
I’m sorry I had to leave so suddenly that night. And even more sorry to know that you had the shock of finding my ’not wanted on the voyage’ body. The useless carcass I left behind. That shouldn’t happen to anyone, to find your lifeless partner by your side… That’s how you’d see it anyway. But me? I’m off now into the wide blue yonder, never to return. Not as you knew me anyway. These are the rules I’m afraid. Apparently some people do come back. ****** Spiritualists & Clairvoyants… They make us all, up here - seem like part timers. Not that I wouldn’t… But it’s complicated. There’s a kind of apprenticeship, a protocol to follow…There are still rules even in death. There has to be a trade off. No pain… no anguish… And, you can just dip in and out of your old family’s life - PAs… Personal Appearances. That’s what 'Head Office' calls ‘em Pacifies the loved ones that you are settled. In the dying mode of things that is. Really what you’re doing… as a soul, is waiting for a suitable donor body then you're born into a new family! That's the way it goes! To end on a lighter note… Kind of makes you wonder why there aren’t more child prodigies around… Maybe only the smartest ones make it back! Who knows? All that knowledge gone to waste… Just saying!

Sorry I left so suddenly!
Underneath our masks we paint our faces too pale; Fraudulent smiles Only must we wear in this play? Tragedy makes the inks run Audience sobs too, yet we are too numb to vex; Merely convincing Plot: ignore true emotion Please enjoy our props Sensationalist amusement at its finest; Ready made to sell Come one, come all and feel Masques and poems enhance the play Scripts all written by poets, Saints and Prodigies; Artless art makers Publish our dear Mother Earth Her manuscript grows everyday Their realities denied with good intentions; So that we may live A life of meaning and play In a world of vast settings

The Great Play (A Renga collaboration with tsac)
A game of lies Spoken between the lines And it all boils down to Who knows who Who knows you? You know Sue? She's real new I heard from Stacy She's got a man or two ***** **** for ***** But sits on a pew Every Sunday And confesses her sins With her slate wiped clean She does it all again Wearing a grin What nerve to think Life's a free for all As long as you pray On your knees everyday Six days show the truth Unholy, and without shame But on the seventh Your god takes his claim Who knows Maybe he likes this game Maybe god's sick in the head Who are we to say Why the games? Why this life? Nobody knows That's just how it goes It's a game of thrones And a kingdom of lies Daddy's caught up in the throes Of a coke head fantasy Mommy's all alone Seeking comfort in the Hennessy And children are born As a result of the adultery We call those game pieces Pawns from an old game Old flames and new tricks Come back to haunt you And your new fix Girls to moms Baby food and fresh kicks For Christmas Grown women Or old girls? **** if I know But it’s the kids that suffer Growing up With tears for supper Until they became cold ****** around and got old At the age of sixteen Old souls Or so it seems This is the world we live in Not even the worst Third world tragedies Fronting like First world prodigies With only songs of sorrow to sing We are the American dream

They tell us of places and theories speak of the radicalness of our flesh say that we must take responsibility of ourselves as they sit behind their hard earned desks they speak of their authority and empowerment through words to the point that I wish to acquire such audacity isn't that what our liberation is all about? Recreating patterns of oppression reach elitist capacities sound … well structured and become one of the prodigies they can throw in their collection of so called advancement I no longer seek validation of my processes through your bureaucratic systems my knowledge does not emanate from intellectually justified sources but from las historias passed down to me by my fore-mothers keep your favors, sympathy and unreasonable accommodations yes, I will move on but con un nuevo entendimiento: de que ustedes no dictan las bases del feminismo ni la capacidad de mi criterio resisto sus juicios y no acepto sus terminos no firmo por que mi educacion no tiene fecha de expiracion ni es un producto o contrato al mejor postor.

Academic Apostasy
We met when our lives were breadfruit chimes and squandered our lust for True Life before Swine and our Bejeweled Youth... prodigies of fire and stall. We nurtured the Other by being Ourselves. Mercurial and murky with our tender bright fierce and our soft on crime... we held hands. We will always Love Us. So I Love You. Best - So I am.

Yes Andra, I Dare
The Dreamers© I think oft what it would be like to be one of them To look at the world through rose colored glasses Where the world is perfect according to my childhood dreams In that dream I would be a pilot, handsome and tall A world traveler to boot I would be married to the girl next door The vivacious blonde with that voluptuous figure Somehow as if by magic I would be rich as well as famous My model looks would have me featured in a magazine This would be a follow up to my bestselling book which is Now being turned into the greatest movie of all time The movie is a documentary about my days as a rock star It would highlight my younger years As a pro athlete and renowned artist extraordinaire The captivating television interview for my hit movie Held at my countryside estate overlooking the ocean It is prominently featured in Homes & Gardens magazine Having won the lottery my days are filled with Time to spend with family and friends at will Or inventing the greatest next best thing My ideal children seemingly raise themselves To become childhood prodigies When I come back to reality in my modest home Readying myself to go to my everyday job And writing poetry waiting to be discovered I wonder “Is this as good as it gets” Andreas Simic©

The Dreamers
Time is but subjective It passes much like dreams Recountable is the content But not the beginning or the end are seen There in the distance Where time is of essence Prodigies count time through notes Bars are a pulse composed of worth Life, it streams from young ones throats In what is now a far off land Where time is measured Through blood and sand Many an end was met by steel Whose other edge did hope reveal The place where myth and legend fly Rarely stops to ponder time For it is plentiful and runs like wine Immortal they are, and divine Unbeknownst to human kind Here on the page Where all flows from pens I tried to gain control again Through fights for fabrications I nearly lost all sense And still the time continues on And tears won’t stop for this

Tears Won't Stop For This
Children of my days, living prodigies, Blessed with wit, by the Lord Almighty Amidst the poor city, through sin is cursed, Entwined his warning we’re summoned Amidst the dark where we stand, Here is the battle looms The combat against fraudulent, Through wisdom we’ll coup For as the eagle sees food from afar, So as we despite the dark, Envisions as hope of the future sprout Arise oh youth, march with thine heart with raging fire Such courage lies on you, innate however numb Silent courage once waken is supreme Same as pony serene in pen Whose spirit is loud in the valley once freed Like a soldier in a battlefield Clothed in the armour of valour and strength. Arise oh youths, his mighty warriors, Come and yell in audible chorus For courage is innate, and wisdom is indeed sonorous Don’t you hear, don’t you see? The vineyard where wine overflows? Arise oh youth, the land is ready And victory awaits in the hands of the Lord

I sought you in heartbreak I sought you behind doors I even sought you alone in the dark where my candle light shone I sought you in my hell I sought in my heaven I even sought you when I mentally traveled I sought you for therapy I sought you for peace I sought you when no drugs could bring any ease I sought you in times of anger I sought you in times of love I sought you when battles twisted my tongue with wars that were not worth of I sought you in my sleep I sought you in dreams I sought you with pens and pencils aching to fabricate futures that exist in my mind where they fixture I sought you drunk oh, I did I created love stories fantasies, tragedies too even some ***** thoughts that my mind could not endure I sought you in confusion hoping as stanzas flow so will the solutions too I sought you in prayer on paper, on walls on my palms too so that when I lay my hand on my chest my heart could read them and beat in rest ... I sought you in others prodigies and peasants I sought you in twisted art and wordy inspirations I sought you boring afternoons and rowdy dancing I sought you in my memory hoping you'd stay and make it to my paper I sought you in song I sought you in blank papers I sought in 4 am's when my mind is diluted with chemicals that danced with every idea every thought before it flees with dawn I sought you in him and her I sought you in messy bedsheets and crisp bright dawns when my skin crawled with goosebumps reminiscing about yesternight’s escapades

The second light of sunrise filters through the blinds of a broken transom window, gliding the kitchen. There’s an instant in which bottomless jars, worn out dishes and a headless Mickey magnet that has fallen off the fridge Seem to levitate in a sea of dusty honey. I haven’t witnessed the scene. I think about all the other ordinary prodigies That must be happening somewhere. A trembling chrysanthemum blossoms in the frosty gardens of Nagoya. Six grey wolves fail to hunt down a white deerling. A middle aged man whispers into a hollowed stonebrick, then covers his secret with mud. Two  giraffes disappear in the middle of a starlit Colosseum, to the astonishment of a roman dilettante. Twenty years of boredom; then an ex con feels the tact of dewy grass under his feet again. In a balcony over the Seine, two lovers prepare a padlock. Some skinny kid from La Matanza scores a last minute free kick to win the neighborhood derby. A pretentious teenager watches The purple rose of Cairo for the first time, and  discovers his true calling. Days before dying, an old man stops by a bakery and inhales the same caramel fragrance he would inhale in the afternoons of his childhood summers. An older brother decides to throw a game of Mario Kart to his sibling. On a deserted reed bed, a blackbird sings the most beautiful tune in the world. There is no one there to listen. A single mother finishes cooking breakfast for his son, and decides to let him sleep for another five minutes. A physics grad student solves the meaningless quantum noise model that’s been torturing him for weeks, and stops wondering why he didn't choose to be a lawyer Two old friends share the same espresso in a hidden Manhattan coffeehouse, perhaps for the last time.   None of this everyday miracles are happening to me.
