"propositions" poems
An enigmatic smile she’s dressed with to chant mystery, Poets and bards with their magical poesy tried the mystery, Philosophers and thinkers broke their minds to unravel the secrecy, Scientists and law makers built hypotheses and verdicts to read hers, Painters and sculptors fatigued with their colours and clay, Actors and directors enacted to unknot the thread of obscurity. Odes and epics, long-written, attempted to sing Lisa’s Smile; But reflections of their beloveds’ smile read in their verses, Philosophies and thoughts expressed in huge volumes; But less understood even the painter’s invention, Theories and laws built around Science and Law; But little is the outcome of their propositions sans the mystery, Colours and clay played on mighty imaginative realms; But Mona Lisa ne’er spoke of her mystery Smile. Enactments on massive stages thrilled the collective audiences; But Mona Lisa hid the mystery of her Smile. I walked around the garden of poetry with fragrance of mystery, I saw a poem in her distinctive beauty ruling my mind’s eye. She smiled at my heart and in turn my heart smiled at her, Her smile taught me a mystery and it took time to read it; Yet there was a veil betwixt us, and I took my plume to write. She took my heart unto her, and I romped in joy. She’s been decked with melody and rhymes, And the string of verses stretched beyond the horizon, Where the mystery of Lisa’s Smile be found. She took me with her beyond the horizon, And I followed her with no utterance till our destination. She laughed at me for my silence; Yet she smiled unto me; but her smile looked unfathomable. She smiled and smiled at me; yet she had no utterance for me; She looked a little bit puzzling unto me, and I had no answer; Yet her smile dwelled in me, and I invoked the Muse of Poetry. “Thou art to be a silent lover, and her smile is the answer unto thee, She’s the Mona Lisa; she can’t speak, but smile and smile.” I lay on the soil of the kingdom of poetry, imbibing Lisa’s Smile, I adorn her smile; I worship her smile; I revere her smile, Let me not move away from the garden of poetry Till Lisa’s Smile is translated unto me. I waited and waited and I found the answer: Lisa smiles and her smile is the love of silence. My heart rests in silence that her love is felt within. She uttered into me:”Speak not, but love with smile, And that the mystery of my Smile and my Smile lasts.” I know why Mona Lisa smiles. She loves me with her silent Smile.

Why Does Mona Lisa Smile?

A Zippo lighter with a smoker's cough, propositions the ladybug clinging to a flannel pocket, You can always trust a tealight to warm the neglected beetles, that cling to your chest. this Ritual of the staring contest. attention behind the curtain: When You blink at the Rorschach shadows tell me, they are not mailboxes. The spirits linger; we stumble into entanglement birch trees weaving baskets from our branches I'm known to cave on integrity, for the taste of freckles, flickering tealights in the hearthstone, with a smokers cough.

In long lasting fortitude is the fight of the astute. A lot of effort is made towards the war of the moral. And a race towards life is the route. Preparing the endless fit of strength of all. There is he who is choosing his fate. Working hard despite all opposers’ bait. There is he who is choosing life. Working hard despite all opposers’ strife. Lost in the dirt, seeking out of the ruse. Forced towards the light, brighter and rife. No letting up despite the refuse. Clean is the proud, and happy, the player of the flute. A rite of passage for all is the praise of the immortal. War is the only dispute Death is not fatal. The renegade does not enter the gate. He is stuck outside the city, and left without state. The renegade does not know his wife. He is stuck at heart and can’t even play a fife. In the dirt he is and is with a lot of abuse. He cannot escape the knife. Cut, cutting up despite the accuse. Reality is but the face of cute. Subjected to falsified doctrine and the immoral. It is callous and as rotten fruit. Moxie exists with everyone no matter how small. Can the one who is happy learn to hate? Only he or she can solve this debate. Finally the long absent sky above the Alewife. Can’t say that I have seen such teeming wildlife... Swimming in a sea of its Muse. The lowly continue their sighs But I do proudly diffuse. .This plight of mine is hard to toot. Exemplified by my emphasis on the astral. With which I dress in an armoured suit. So my enemies do not mute my oral. and the skies do tell in high rate, How esteemed they are on time and ne’er late. But giving ever virtuous despite All those dead or dying, without prospect of afterlife. It is their way to choose: The dark abyss of guise, (or) The gentle river of blue For now I do keep silent, But still I commute, With those of higher propositions and goal, So I do instill thyself a deeper root. In the waterbed truly formal. Those who truth ‘I do navigate’ and those of lies ‘I do alienate’ At a loss O’ man or mesmerize, Work harder on thoughts than just plagiarize. The foes of old are still and sleuth I show them love and they in lies are baptized Tradition is there with purpose, don’t misuse. I see to it the wise stay wise, For better they will strategize. And the unwise, wisdom they will pursue. Giving them their much needed paradise. And the lost I will use.

Singular definition: extraordinary; remarkable; exceptional: a singular success. unusual or strange; odd; different: singular behavior. being the only one of its kind; distinctive; unique: a singular example. separate; individual. Logic: a proposition containing no quantifiers, as “Socrates was mortal.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Singular Proposition: you think you are special, exceptional, you think you are unusual, odd, proud of it. extraordinary, exceptional, unique. maybe so. Here then is my Singular Proposition: On the day that you unconditionally accept responsibility for the care and feeding, for, yes, the very survival of just one single other on that day, you may call yourself, singular, in every sense of the word. Propositions: I am a singular. I am mortal. Affirmed.

A Singular Proposition

i guess there are some people who just don’t realize how preposterous they sound when using social media. yeah, maybe you’re one. no one is safe from suspicion: -the comedians (their own biggest fan types) the witty commentators                     jumping in from the far corner. (you wonder how someone who learnt every word they know      from about six Archie comics is allowed to use social networking) -oh and the girls                    who post new selfies every day. (in fact there’s one, i swear, posts so often                       so regular                                       i barely need a watch. “here’s the three-fifteen cleavage shot.” —she’s long since been hidden!) and wait here’s that fella who speaks out about injustices; firecrackers taped in a doberman’s mouth, which is awful, sick, repulsive—and bravo for making the universe aware, i applaud thee, but it’s the rambling included about what you’d do if you ever caught them (curbstomping, mutilating, beatings) that gives me goosebumps. i don’t wanna see this kid’s mug in the paper next week/point & say “christ i knew it!” ..so maybe keep the ****** fantasy off the web, eh? & then of course the weirdness too weird to properly recall example: an acquaintance's call for attention “i need a hug :(“ and the random girl probably th’sister of a friend (which is bizarre in its own right, adding a friend's younger sibling.. but i won’t bother delving there tonight) who replies: *“hey you should come here instead and see the skunk that just came by my window if you wanna?”* —what is this absurdity? and hey here’s an answer to your original call: internet hugs don’t work.     computers don’t hug in binary, man. 0110101110101101111001010010101011011010110101110101010101                                          >—O—< —i’ll never understand it.

Ignorance and divinity are both vomiting over my mind, while i stand below them wondering if I should even bother to duck. I don’t know. I don’t know. There are so many things to do, directions to take, propositions to be made – each one waiting on these silly little green permission slips. Even the simplest of happily ever afters comes with quite a hefty price. I just want to get ***** making stuff, making art, making food, making love. Sleep and repeat.

wading through hope and ****
The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls; who, when he had found one, sold all that he had and bought it.—Matthew 13.45 I know the ways of Learning; both the head And pipes that feed the press, and make it run; What reason hath from nature borrowed, Or of itself, like a good huswife, spun In laws and policy; what the stars conspire, What willing nature speaks, what forced by fire; Both th’ old discoveries, and the new-found seas, The stock and surplus, cause and history: All these stand open, or I have the keys: Yet I love thee. I know the ways of Honour, what maintains The quick returns of courtesy and wit: In vies of favours whether party gains, When glory swells the heart, and moldeth it To all expressions both of hand and eye, Which on the world a true-love-knot may tie, And bear the bundle, wheresoe’er it goes: How many drams of spirit there must be To sell my life unto my friends or foes: Yet I love thee. I know the ways of Pleasure, the sweet strains, The lullings and the relishes of it; The propositions of hot blood and brains; What mirth and music mean; what love and wit Have done these twenty hundred years, and more: I know the projects of unbridled store: My stuff is flesh, not brass; my senses live, And grumble oft, that they have more in me Than he that curbs them, being but one to five: Yet I love thee. I know all these, and have them in my hand: Therefore not sealed, but with open eyes I fly to thee, and fully understand Both the main sale, and the commodities; And at what rate and price I have thy love; With all the circumstances that may move: Yet through these labyrinths, not my grovelling wit, But thy silk twist let down from heav’n to me, Did both conduct and teach me, how by it To climb to thee.

I know all these, and have them in my hand: Therefore not sealed, but with open eyes I fly to thee, and fully understand Both the main sale, and the commodities; And at what rate and price I have thy love; With all the circumstances that may move: Yet through these labyrinths, not my grovelling wit, But thy silk twist let down from heav’n to me, Did both conduct and teach me, how by it To climb to thee.

Perhaps the most positively uninteresting tragedy Is the story of flawed, impeded love. For whenever I venture, strive, endeavor— To exit my haven of solitary isolation I’m devoid of any bravery. Though I wish I could say “People scare me! I don’t want to be judged For things I cannot control, For transgressions and loves Methods, impairment, systems and failures Despicable lies and harrowing truths Cringeworthy trances and malicious propositions— That’s the reason I tragically fear you!" But such would be blatant lies. For I am not a reticent sheep, Not afraid of human, futile words It’s not any judgement or hate I despise It’s just that I can’t ever compromise I’m so terrified of judging Even in my mind The people of the world Precious brethren of my kind— I don’t wish to hurt a weakling Or a disgraceful abomination Thus, I’ll isolate from anyone For fear of impeding my love Of all alive, of everyone.

Impeded Love
My insatiable taste for affection makes it hard to find perfection in a single person. You could blatantly express the fact that you'd give me your last just for a moment to see me smile, but I'd probably consider that too vulnerable for a first date. I enjoy to watch a relationship progress, but I usually take flight if the speed isn't exactly my pace. I complain constantly of my lonesome, but my heart isn't available. That's the biggest mistake. I get physical loneliness misconstrued with emotional loneliness. I laugh and shrug off the idea that so many want a place in my heart, but I never really come to terms with the fact that I hold a part of people's hearts that I never pay a second thought to most days. And I make all these excuses as to why I'm physically single, but my heart rests with you, waiting. Denial may hide it, but I know no other chapter may begin -- no matter what perks and propositions are promised -- without ending the current I have with you, whatever is left of it at least. You caught me off guard and promised me nothing, but have been everything at just my pace. More than a love interest, my confidant, my friend. my insatiable love.

Insatiable Love
And I have loved you more than I anyone I have loved before ( How would I know, as there has been no one else ) Perhaps more than I will love anyone, ever ( And I know for sure ) I set up my defences on the outside, but maybe I needed to protect myself from myself ( But what would you have me do ) When you see lightning for the first time, a wonder out of nowhere The way it streaks across the skies, like you often streaked across my mind When every subsequent clash of atoms and eons will never equal the first time Seeing magik marble across your eyelids, a smile adorns your face And you know you will never be the same again ( So what of this pain, will it ever subside ) Perhaps a memory can transform into a throbbing hurt One that comes and goes, like the ebb and the flow of the rushing tide Or triggered by a smell, a perfume, the sound of laughter that could’ve been yours, or the way someone holds onto their fork I never thought it would be you, but now you are a throbbing pain Unmedicated, unattended but a mass of self perpetuating burning questions Like neurons (mis)firing and kneejerk reactions Churning out what if’s and propositions and assumptions and empty dreams You birthed a thousand little cares that linger at the back of my throat Causing me to gag every so often But the mast has been set and this rotting ship will continue to sail Rickety as she is, she searches for replacement parts All the while creating myths and legends and convulated stories This tunnel is long but maybe there is a glimmer of hope at the end of it I can hold out for a breath of fresh air, something must remain ( But what of those questions that still remain ) Maybe I should have tried a little harder Fought a little more, shouted a little louder But you can’t stop the path of a tornado I stood in front of it and was swept off my feet And it pulled wool over my eyes, but I still saw the light Filtered as it was through unravelling strands of thread Pull, pull, pull Until it all comes undone.

**I bought a 'Polo' tee-shirt striped burgandy and blue, but you said it was suggestive of somebody that you knew. Then I called to have my hair cut much shorter, just for you, but you mentioned that my haircut was a double deja-vu. All this plus my spectacles (next time it's contact lens's), was about someone resembling me who said 'now les be friends. Such friendly propositions with girl on girl in mind, for it takes all kinds, to make a world when you're that way inclined. The moral of my story and I knew it all along, is even when I seek advice I can't do right for wrong.** ...   ...   ... 'trademark'

The grace of God was painted on the canvass of your soft skin, but you don't see it. I try to touch it, but you secret it away like a scar, or deformity. I pray for strength, but the devil propositions where God charges admission... no one knocks a free ride.

Temptation Awaits
written while talking to a dear friend, Irene, who i met on my travels to Paris, and who i'm spotted with, in a photograph, by the Moulin Rouge, hunched in homage to Quasimodo, with Paul the wild haired australian. i'm always depressed before composition and the first whiskey to stop me throwing up anything i might ingest, but then the seemingly graceless magpie with its extended tail flies into eyesight, then the blackbird, the crow, the seagull (huh?! 30 miles inland and a ****** seagull?)... and then i open my eyes a second time, take off the eyes that see lust gluttony colours and shapes, and put on my x-ray spectacles of looking at a white page and typing for a while... and then a song crops up and it bothers me, mortiis' parasite god from the album *the smell of rain*, if there is such a thing as a parasite god, we'll be constantly thinking about it, it will be an ontological implant of ours to then debate whether we're atheists, theists, gnostics or agnostics... it would be a burden, indeed an oversized tapeworm to put it mildly - but then the other description floating about, the entitlement of a title, akin to prince, knight, sir, baron or baroness or even a marquis... the lord of hosts... and with vain attempt at sounding in blossom of a magnolia tree attentive of courtesy, a host is someone who contains a parasite, why would i want to contain a parasite of thought in me, that would necessarily sway me from denoting myself an atheist, theist, etc.? atheists do indeed uphold the principle stated in this song i mentioned mortiis' parasite god; i among the jews a parasite of the host of ancient egypt; i mean, they always say they're atheists or whatever, they want that little sticker at a speed dating gathering *hello, my name is, queue (oh sorry, Hugh)*, but when it comes to defining what sort of thinking defines you as such and such, it's vaguely satisfying to hear a presupposition label, followed by a string of even more unsatisfying propositions, and since i'm not a fisherman in that department, i think i'll just stick to what i know, or at least what i think i know.

Beauty you said was a quality I possessed Intelligence I insisted was mine to own Subtlety is not a virtue I contest to borrowing Vengeance I will never openly deny Memory sharper than a tack Verbal sparring worse than a shark’s attack Considerable damage caused by honed wit Disturbing visions created by vivid imagination Wrapped in a neat and stunning package Just a sample of all the composing things That create the person, that I prefer to be Yet something of a steel frame runs beneath these qualities Like honor, pride, unwavering courage Love, compassion, and absolute empathy Denial of what I once believed myself to be Gave way to self created confidence But as every flower has it’s core So does the depths of my soul Buried deep within, rarely coming out to play My passions, desires, and fanciful whims Unspoken dreams, and unexplored propositions But perhaps the most mesmerizing thing Is when my laughter rings out Instead of being buried within

Within me
Propositions about the afterlife are futile. Do you believe in God, heaven, clouds, harps and cherubs? And then you die and discover that you must lead many more lives searching for perfection. Do you believe in the Bardo, in reincarnation, in the sweet possibilities of getting it right? And then you die and find yourself on a fluffy cloud surrounded by annoying cherubs whose harps are incessant. Or will you become a mute patch of earth, that is wet and dry and favored by worms. I have closed the eyes of the dead and all I can tell you is they were dead. What happens after is futile surmise. You believe or you don't. But believing is not knowing. And when you know, you will not say. ~mce

Our lives are set-up in beautiful hypothetical. Propositions swirl around like conveyor-belt sushi- delights to choose at semi-random. Light and fluffy brightly colored choices. Candied aftermaths of promise. We stare at the world like through a pane of glass that houses every good thing. Select a sweet impermanence. Finger a whim. Cast yourself onto a game of chance. Play your favorite song on the jukebox of 'nowness'. Skip all of the imperfections in a sidewalk. Dandy through your daydreams. To want is to behold. To wish is to brush the tips of splendor. All of it free for now.

For what possesses man to sabotage himself? Always wanting the unobtainable Sacrificing worthy causes in the process Love, passion, lust? Priorities and prerogatives left unchecked When man's mind desires run away How could we focus? With such amazing beauty Man cares not of consequence Or of outcome Man proposes and propositions In hopes of obtaining Desires
