"purifying" poems
The wonderland of snow, So bright and shining. Tis more beautiful, Than the green. Ice flakes fall, From the grey sky. Purifying the ground. Of Ice. Winter Wonderland, So beautiful and unyielding. Tis so bright. For the gorgeous eye, To seek.

Wonderland of Snow
Bidding farewell to the warmth, The bells of a spring path ring, to the sound of the wind, Which has once again, crossed the stream of time, as it usually does, The transience of the day, already lost due time, the sun remains as a traveler, whom appears to have crossed the Zenith again, It's scorching heat is to be felt, exposed to it almost as if it was to be to set the skin ablaze, truly these sunrays, are unforgiving at this time, Sorrow and misery, are to burn into ash by this heat, a purifying flame of affectionate happiness, embracing those who have found themselves to be in love with the natural, decending, light, Beyond the boundaries, the mystery of our living power remains unknown, all what is left is a spark in the dark, beyond the sunshine, The evening welcoming this world is soon to be radiating in joyful light, wandering aimlessly the time for the sunset draws near, Beyond the Zenith, lies the transience of the passing time. ~ Umi

Beyond the Zenith
Since... Terrain was ridged In blinding grime Sluggish ride devoured darling time It was dark Now... A velvety way Crisp air purifying the lungs Time feel scarce It still dark, but there is luminous light along the way

The New Road
Touch me my soul make the words roll over my skin Only if you know how to write to me my angel my kin I am not waiting for a mask not either a disguise Open your veins to me Let me read in the red waters on my lips Let me read the words, free me of the words in any possible way may the rain down my eyelids may they kiss my legs Make me laugh like a springtime morning A soft laughter that tears up the skies Those who gives shivers and marvels send a shiver to my spine make my head spin feed on my sapiophile soul more never stop or only to make me miss you only to make me deliciously pine for them ever more I am tired by the dalliances I want the four season muse You are so right I am the demure sylph Inured by the tar black clouds and the tempests so delicate with those thin dragonfly lyrics It's all made of your sighs and your caresses One day perhaps you'll have your own epiphany You will call me Marie and all of my other names You'll use your precious eloquence to tell me How we were meant to be Resonate like a familiar sound snowing in my mind Purifying the emotional landscape NOW is the time even if there's no hurry Haven't we lost enough time to be without one another Every of my names no matter my dress They will all adore you as bitter as sweet I'll be on your ego like a caress I will read you like a sassy poem Like an impatient flame You'll be the one who dares to be frail You'll dive in my treasure and get out of the bitter sea Together like a team united for the beauty of the worse(...)

"You cannot live when you are untouchable. Life is vulnerability."(Édouard Boubat, Notebooks, 1958)

By the soul and it's order and porportion given to it Inspired by it's wickness and righteousness each spirit strives for it's own clear goal, wether that be nihilistic in some eyes, or of great worth to others, each soul has been brought with the greatest of purity at its time of birth. Corrupting it is as simple as purifying it, but the evil, shades, seduces tempts and leads astray to which a soul poorly responds. Desires, wishes, hopes and dreams of them differ in many unique, fantastic or irritational, preculiar and dark. However, each spirit of a living being shares one similarity, It is, as simple as it may appear, just the wish and dream to live a life in carefree attitudes and a happy manner. Of course, wealth too is amongst those shared desires, but this world is cruel, brutal and shows no mercy as others have too much and others have almost none at all. Oh you of humble birth, patience, tollerance, compassion, love are making this world a better place. So give from your wealth and purify your soul by such, in the remembrance of the poor, oppressed, depressed, abused, starving human beings, whom could at least have it a little better. And each soul runs on a clear course, determined to meet it's fate when the sunset of its life has arrived and death becomes a cover. ~ Umi

The glory of the heavens which reflect such delicate blue, Are alike a protective ceiling, keeping us safe from harm, Where might this harm come from if above is empty space ? Well, firstly it manages to brighten up the day more Secondly it takes care of the sun's deadly rays, filtering, purifying it in the most noble sense, a breathing sky. The heavens far above are not without danger, but worry not, for they are too far out of our reach, thus our eyes are the only, fragile, valuable sense which is able to grap it's visibility, Beyond this ceiling is where the stars inhabit, all of the planets too! But the heaven is which gifts us the wonderful, stunning, warm, bright colours of sunrise and sunset, thus alone is a reason to love them furthermore. In this wretched, corrupt and unrighteous world it is of great importance to keep track of little things which cheer our way. It could be a simple word, heaven or just the light of day. ~ Umi

Heavens
All the earth speaks to Your glory Lord The trees strong and tall stretch up to the sky Giving food, shelter, shade to so many creatures The flowers so delicate and beautiful bringing color And joy to so many. A wonderful gift The birds, insects, and all creatures create a symphony You are the master orchestrator Lord The wind: at times gentle and pleasant others powerful and destructive Sometimes moving or inspiring, still more, pushing, prompting Water: reminding of patience, calm, creativity Great power. Life giving and Life taking. Water shows The power of teamwork. Fire: so much power and destruction. Violence and death But cleansing, purifying, strengthening too A little bit can be light, a source of pleasant warmth A guide and used properly a blessing; attractive to others All nature all earth speaks to Your glory Lord. Praise and Glory and Honor to You Lord of All! Amen!

The Nature of God
Bathed in the amber light I watch these fields in slumber Resting beneath scattered snow As the music crescendos. The mountains gleam in the distance But every crevice and branch Is coated in gold Like a remnant of Midas’ touch. Peace washes over me A purifying, gentle force. The sky’s tender blue Kisses the horizon.

Monster snowstorm Meteorologist have warned But when you have faith you don’t be alarmed Yet this snowstorm is going to be for the record books All a person has to do is just look Like a typewriter keyboard going up the ladder But in this case it is the Northeast with the matter If the snowstorm piles up as much as Meteorologist predict, the snow will be around long and will certainly be icy and thick Transportation will definitely shutdown There will be no way too get around Everyone will be stationery in homeward bound It will television and cell phones with snowstorm updates Then a mission to work or wait There is no guarantee It is a matter of wait and see The snowstorm provided by thee Man can’t defeat and tell the snow too stop It’s all controlled from the almighty being at the top The Sanitation Department will be doing their job in clearing the snow away However it won’t be gone all in one day This could be a snowstorm bringing snow that could last for days Don’t even think on taking a plane being a getaway It will be the wintry frozen ice that will stay The best advice that I could give is to think of the season spring Mild with warm hearts in getting through the snow in helping you preserver Don’t think on fear As God is always near A snowstorm is God’s way in purifying the earth I remember being taught that at birth But think on doing things at home being fun Always remember, weather conditions you have no control and God will always be the centered number of one.

As the light touches her skin, A fire deep within, Ablaze to set free, your desires. And in the light of the moon she lies Ethereal beauty, The queen, *On ***** she breathes her fire.* Purifying the soul, Her eyes burn, Deep within your whole. The night she claims her own A magical spell to weaken you. You, oh Icarus, Fly too close to the sun. And in her arms you lie, Charmed and bewildered, Wanting for more.

As She Burns You
**Everlasting joys are flowing like a river, More abundant life, the Comforter has come. Glory! Hallelujah! He abides for ever, Spread it far and wide, the Comforter has come. Comforter divine, blessed Holy Ghost, Promise of the Father, fill this waiting host; Overcoming sin, purity within, Joy to overflowing - this is Pentecost. Saints of old they tarried in the upper chamber, Thirsting for the Spirit all with one accord; Tongues of fire descended , we shall ever remember; Power of Pentecost that brought the glory down. So to-day we're waiting , for the gift from heaven, Send the latter rain, Oh! fill us now we pray, Purifying Fire now purge us from all leaven, Comforter divine , descend on us to-day. When the Holy Ghost makes His abode within us, All desires for worldly pleasures fade away; Fleshy lust and anger crucified within us, Power to overcome,He gives us from that day.**

COMFORTER DIVINE
Perspiration accumulates into salty beads, Falling into her eyes, eyes that have lost their gleam. We’ve been trapped like savaged animals for three agonizing nights. Diminutive apertures in this death box supply minimal light. The screech of the rails are a bittersweet melody to our ears. For we only know what these horrific monsters have taught. Fear. As the door slams open, I’m pried from my wife. I wonder if this will be the last moment I see her smile. My people are marked with terror and pain. I realized were barricaded in with barbed wire chains. My subverted clothes reek of secretion. This camp is untrustworthy, raising apprehension. They claim we are not human. But I ask, do we not bleed, when we are injured? Do we not dream blissful thoughts? Do we not pray to the same God? The same God that punishes the innocent; Bringing blithe to those sinners that shed blood. When we lose our cherished, our loved ones, Do we not shed tears? Do we not mourn? No! We must not, for we are not human, According to what the Nazis see. We are the innocent, robbed of life. They are the monsters who roam free. At least, that’s what I see. I see men, women, and children stripped of clothing, Stripped of dignity, stripped of all things humane. While these barbaric monstrosities make allegations. Claiming they are purifying society, when they are to blame. Men lose wives; children lose mothers. Families are torn apart; sisters lose brothers. Those of us who survive, work until brittle. Still we carry on, if our minds are able. Backs of men are scarred from arduous lashes. While the sick are trapped in rooms imbued with gases. My hands are enveloped with calicoes and cuts. My mind grows weary, I dream an ending abrupt. I’m crippled with anger, and tears that still drip sore. My heart crescendos with pain, about to implode. It’s difficult to refuse the tears when I hear the desolate screams. I’m trapped in a perpetual nightmare, a ceaseless dream. Still I carry on in life, for that is the greatest revenge. The day we feel the kiss of freedom, will be the day we have avenged.

Vacant. Empty. Twisted. Lacking. Chills shoot though my body filling the cracks whatever is left Let go of the Meaning of LIFE and one is lost Worried. Angered. Freaked. Spinning. Words jotted down upon an empty page to show giving proof to rage Reality is no kind reminder in correction of humanness Stupidity. Irony. Pathetic. Foolish. These eyes have absorbed from the outside world all which is meaningless Vibrant life left behind to retrieve if one is wise Hope. Love. Joy. Peace. Never take the God-given gifts taken for granted or hard ways shall teach Throw them aside as ******* and despair will find what's left Trash. Pathetic. Waste. Shameful. Such trash is how I perceive some to view my vehemency No integrity do they see in what these eyes hold scared Purity. Integrity. Honesty. Valiancy. Which spring from the soul and mind diluted from ones first breath in the flesh Access to God diluted from what cannot be achieved Sovereignty. Omniscience. Omnipresent. Agape. Witness madness for what God has been met first hand is just in righteousness Full of grace and mercy to those who Seek Him Loving. Wise. Holy. Eternal. To those Who serve Him He gives of Himself correcting those He loves Comfort is naught promised for character is His measure   Sanctification. Tried. True. Loyalty. Purifying His people through teaching His ways is the foremost goal As choice gold refined and proved accordingly

A wise man once told me that all people are like precious metals. He told me this in different words than I will use, but I took this to heart.
 We are mined from ***** places; these miners see the value that lies beneath our harsh surface. We are plucked from our resting places, sent to great, large cities where we will be put over fire to burn out our impurities. 
 We will go through pain and fire. We will melt and be tortured. We will cry and scream and we will suffer. All of our repulsive imperfections will float to the top while this is happening. To purify gold, it must be melted. To purify silver, it must be melted. 
 It must be melted and the rough **** that exists within and without these bits of precious metal must float to the top to be extracted. 
Sometimes, this process must happen multiple times. Sometimes, we must use chemicals and medicines to make sure it happens properly. To purify us, we must be melted. 
These are our trials in life. This fire represents our hardships. This fire represents every life change that we don't want to happen, but must pull through. This fire represents each truth that we don’t want to know, but have to accept. This fire represents each person that walks in and out of our lives like rainstorms, pouring for hours and moments before disappearing on the wind, never to be seen again. This fire represents each night we must spend alone, crying for someone to save us. This fire is us. This fire is self-preservation. This fire doesn't last. And after the fire is over, and our imperfections are drawn away from us, we are perfect.
 Of course no one is ever perfect, but no metal is ever completely perfect; everything that glitters is not gold.
 After the fire has died, and we have been poured into new molds, into new people, we are stronger. With our disfigurements gone, our molecules bond tighter to form a stronger metal. With our faults gone, we sparkle and shine for the world to see.
 After we have been pulled from the ground, after the fire has died, after we have come out as stronger, prettier people, there is still a chance for staining. 
We may scuff and stain, we may grow new impurities, but then we must suffer fire again. 
It is an ongoing process. We are never perfected. We are ever changing, yet we are solid as metal. 
 A wise man once told me that I resembled gold, that everyone around me resembled gold. He once explained this to me in such a way that it changed my mind about hardship. I now meet it with open arms. If I couldn’t handle the fire, it wouldn’t burn for me. 
A wise man once told me that eventually, when the fire was extinguished, I would be a stronger person. A wise man once explained to me that I am not alone, that everyone must hurt to get stronger, and that I will emerge from the fire. This man changed my life, and I hope that maybe I can change someone else’s life. That maybe I can help scrape the imperfections from someone’s boiling surface. 
 That maybe I can help myself become purer, by purifying some other gold or silver. 
After all, at the end of the day, a wise man once told me we are all like precious metals: We are all gold.

Enter thy come and take your place No blade will forsaken your face When the moon has bled The sun has fled The father shall bleed While the son shall flee Stand on and keep thy paste Stop moving and thoust be erased Steel, Fire, Ice, Thunder This sword been built for smoulder Hands crumble of blisters Soul full of cleansers Thy crafted blade made whole Thy blade legend be in scroll Blade coated within strychnine Behold thy master design   This blade crafted for revenge Thy uses it for only purifying No need for revenge For karma has been healing!

Crafting the blade!
Call delicate sirens of the working class! half-bum minimum wage poverty line subsidy sages hollow of materialism devils, devoid of darkness internal fire strike rage and hellion god bowels light flickering shallow men. The rich men. The truly poor men living in clouded manors on Ignorance Avenue. Delicate sirens not so poor after all, not so empty or so full. God is the prayer call and siren droll and *** roll-in-sleep afternoon shore-breeze faint of hope approaching winter-fall showering divinity flowers the same material as Peter's scraggly beard while he coughs his angelic bronchitis wheezes, purifying the western air. Peter is apostle his snores are their own gospel the doves in his dreams will always be there. The battle goes on the bottle goes up the rattle hollers out the chatter not without. Sirens call! Call with short breaths as the world cyclones through universal woe.

Sirens
Run your fingers    softly Down my spine, Trace the contours of my rib cage piano, The cracks in the ivory white keys That are my shattered, fragmented bones; The way your trembling lips Danced across the ballroom of my porcelain wrist   One two three       Two two three          Across my subtly scarred corpse, Waltzing rhythm    faltering With each drag of your kiss, Leeching sadness as a blade with blood,    purifying,       somehow. Yet your lips had learnt to love the sad side    of me; Fallen from cliffs of scars to waves of crashing blood,    as simply as one may fall asleep; A wingless butterfly,    falling helplessly in love. For, perhaps, love is what allows the wings to grow,    Perhaps, love is the seed of the destruction of free-fall; Love destroys love.   The way you destroy me,      I destroy me. And so you leech the sadness you fell in love with, My ecstasy seeping from your mere presence,    A flower rising from the cracks of a grave,    As your love rots with the bones below -- The ivory white ribcage    c r a c k e d Like the shattered keys    of a grand piano, Haunting music       hanged    by its own happy heartstrings, Cruel love, You ripped apart the fragmented bones, Leaving only minor keys; The passivity of the stars,    matched only by you,       by the silence of your harmony to my saddened melody;    the silence, radiating       from the shadowed cracks of my ribcage piano. And so you took away my sadness And so I was no longer who you loved And so you slowly sought to shatter me, No longer able to taint my beautiful sadness, With your trembling    beautiful lips. j.s.

Revisited Merak harbor one late evening a shape of sea fairy and colorful torches were seen from afar , chattering calls in 4 languages. 4 squalls in once was a plage their dancing flames asked me to come closer I hurried along the sleepy shipyards passing massive warehouses fenced by rusty wooden doors giant padlocks accenting (reminded me of a fancy cocotte loaded with blingbling) stacks of oversized containers solidly sat speechless. Sleepless. The light of each torch lifted into the sky. Seen by another eye 1883 eruption of the Krakatau crater. 130 years later the odor of its curators I ran closer. I fell. I laid there a while , got up and ran again. I lost my head and missed my right foot along the way. I did not care. When I arrived the torches were there in front of me reincarnated into thousands inhabitants who had lost their lives bodies covered with revolting cesspit oil For a second they transformed into torches again. One blazing in my hands. Regretfully, I had lost my head so I did not understand. The fairy stared . I wasn't scared. : come, come, …come purifying Sunda strait dissatisfying the idiots thought it could all be fixed with tax rate I moved toward embracing fairy arms (Possibly, this close hugging love was only for beach-sea friends) So, I united with the torches A bit of a breach pushed us towards the petroleum . Demolished it all. Cannonball. Black fog shrieking that same words : Keep up the struggle . Stay strong ! The alien residents might think I was making choices but the fairy was leading me around the torches reshaping the ghost-town Chattering calls in 4 voices. 4 languages. Yet, for the officials ears , all were still voiceless. Pointless. (Pulo Merak - Cilegon - Indonesia )

SAID THOSE TORCHES AT MERAK HARBOR

I was waiting for a simple message from you that we both know was never to come. I sat impatiently atop the cities tallest building and watched the coming storm.  I witnessed the water beat the feeble earth into submission and it looked alright to me.  But then the raging sinless sea swallowed the shore.  The end of our hometown (est. 1919) took about a minute and a half. A man leapt out of his chair and said it was amazing as the punishing, purifying wave tore into his home of 20 years.  The coin laundromats and malls became the shallows and downtown by the Top 40 radio station became the deep.  Clown fish swam amongst the stop lights, trash cans and satellite dishes.  And a coral reef began to grow deeply into the brick of the tasty Greek restaurant at the corner of MLK and Main.  Eels and rays swam up the sidewalks and hammerheads patroled the submerged skyscrapers.  Admittedly, a lot of the busy people who didn’t take the time to look out their smudged windows and watch the water devour the flood walls and seafront property didn’t make it out of their homes and cars and schools and businesses.  And those people that didn’t make it to the outskirts of the metro in time were quickly drowned and integrated breathlessly into the oceanic food chain.  The deep began to kiss my ankles and I thought I would surely drown.  I surmised that you probably weren’t thinking about us at that moment and that it was for the best.  You had other matters on your mind. I watched a miniature apocalypse take place and I thought I should probably call and quickly tell you that everything you ever loved was gone or going. I decided against it. Anything I say to you is gonna come out wrong anyway.

Ugh, humidity Pressing in Suffocating  Sticking to everything To you and me but not us, together This is not the good kind of sticking of skin on skin, nervous sweaty palm in nervous sweaty palm. This is the kind that just makes life uncomfortable and unpleasant But at least God has thought this through and gave us the rain to go with it Rain is beautiful Intoxicating Purifying I want to get drenched.  Soaked. I want to be free Rain is free. Ha, I'm not a poet, or a writer I'm just an overdramatic hormonal angsty teenage girl  that likes to put down her feelings in her phone notes And hopes that someone will read and understand  but at the same time  wants to remain  unknown.

A surrender to the Supermoon    The larger than life presence    Plucking my heart strings Got me caught up    In a dark **** fantasy    About a little death and rebirth If I go down    it better be on the divine mother    Level: Oedipal Submission towards her power stance slipping my fingers up Mother Nature's dress    In child's pose    Inhaling her presence    she pulls me to the clouds    to get to the Holy **** of the sky *To be the ************ Tracing infinity loops with my tongue    trying to see how many licks it takes    to get to the center of innocence Back to before it all began to end Flooding the floors    She bathes me in moonlight    The illumination marinates my little transgressions Drowning out the light pollution    Purifying my mind    with the ***** things she whispers Swaddled up in a bulletproof aura    Swallowed whole by the void of existence    I've never felt more secure
