Twas the night before Hawaii islands on the radar A monster opened the door It shoulders a storied scar Of the last time, it hit its mark Rearing its ugly head, ahead of pace As the eye looms '82 in the dark Wrinkles on this  eve sit sadly in boldface Kauai sat once in unnatured infamy It sunny shores hit once by the beast Clouds of villains played in that symphony With the next generation looking to feast As the residence brace for the worst Of the monster stepping on its paradise With category four winds and cloudburst The hope is that the monster plays nice With the Aloha Spirit preserved with leis In place of bold headlines of strung wrath Hawaii can pray rays of light in the coming days Willing the monster to take a different path Logan Robertson 8/23/2018

Hurricane Lane Please Rid Your Ugly Head
We used to swing under the big willow tree We lived 3 doors down from each other We were princesses who fought dragons We could save the kingdom and find our prince by lunch time Our moms laughed and talked about how cute we were Four years old was a cute age Fast forward a bit We went into elementary school innocent and young Boys had cooties Girls had cooties Kickball always ended with someone getting hit in the face We would always sit out field and pick grass and shape it into a little birds nest Life was good Until your parents started fighting and I mean really fighting. It scared me and I would have to go home I would make you come with me three doors down Our moms didn’t laugh anymore By Christmas break your parents were broken up and divorced Eight years old was a confusing age Junior high was mean. Girls would rip you to shreds and then hang pieces of you on everyone’s lockers Boys just wanted to make out A whirlwind of uncontrolled hormones We were the quiet ones Always flew under the radar Just trying to make it out alive We found a little spot to eat lunch under the stairs where no one would go We giggled and talked about boys who didn’t even know that we existed I remember crying in the bathroom with you because people were brutal and we weren’t good enough Our moms worried about us and how distant we were becoming Thirteen years old was a sad age Highschool is another story You were put in the hospital for a month I was left at school alone I had to find more friends I found most of them were fake So I ate my lunch in a bathroom stall Reading all the swear words that were carved in the wall You were really sick and we grew apart We were always close We will always love each other You tried to save me from myself But I didn’t let you Seventeen was an important age Now we are at different colleges I tried to **** myself while you were getting an A on your anatomy test It’s sad We don’t swing under the big willow tree or fight dragons anymore Our moms hardly talk You are a success and I am a failure We don’t really mesh I miss you every day I’m sorry I can’t be good enough for you We were princesses who lived three doors down, we saved the kingdom. I love you I’m sorry this has faded Just like everything else Nineteen years old is a dying age.

I don’t care, That you don’t care, About caring about What I care for. And you know what? I don’t care that You won’t care for the only thing that I really care for. What if I care about cake? Would you not care about cake? Would you not care ABOUT CAKE? You care about cake, of course you do. I can see it in your eyes and by that tell tale dribble at your mouth. Cake is something that will make your legs quake with butter cream goodness. A good cake baked, makes you proud to be a cake baking citizen in a country that will let you bake cake. So what if I care about democracy. Would you not care about democracy? Would you let people live in fear of the **** of a gun, Would you care that there are those who are on the run from tyranny and violence who know pain and loss, that you could only wake up from, in a cold sweat? As you turn and toss in your memory foam bed. There is more happening on this Earth Then cake. There are greater causes than choosing between Thortons Double Chocolate Celebration and that traditional Victoria Sponge your Mother-in-law won in a raffle last week. The struggle humanity faces, is to live in harmony with each other. It cannot be resolved with cake. You cannot bring democracy to a country with cake. Or can we? What if we swapped, Non radar detectable aircraft For dairy delectable foodcraft, What if we swapped 12inch shells for 12 thousand babybels? What if we stole RPGs and gave back MSG’s (they’re less harmful in the long run, if thrown at you). What if, for once, everyone cared. And then we’d get somewhere. Every voice in every home Would not be a voice alone, And for once, we’d all agree about the fact we like cake and democracy for all.

He didn't need to die to be a ghost for years he walked these hallways, going unnoticed he was like a blur to those who passed him teachers couldn't remember him No parents to speak of, one day they just never came back. Average student, never pushing himself never showing up on anybody's radar going unnoticed, going unseen no friends to speak of, no one knew he existed He was surrounded by hundreds of people but lived his life not seen no one saw his tears no one saw his art he went unnoticed until the day he died. Police found him he couldn't take it anymore ended it all he spent his life unnoticed but he was a brilliant artist his art was seen hanging up in some amazing galleries everyone now knows his name.

Unnoticed but finally seen
Netted on the outside Dreams pass through the inside. The good dreams seep the center, The bad dreams are caught: DO NOT ENTER! The sleeper with eyes shut, Protected by the dreamcatcher And selected by the buy-snatcher, Slumbers in peace When all is at ease Around the dreamcatcher police. Reality is still But the mind is awake And sleep is at stake. Eyes cannot detect What the dreamcatcher does, It only sways in the midst of a glance. But the dreams that pass the glass dividing atmospheric gas Cannot be seen, touched, heard. Dreamcatchers have a radar That no being does. The dreams charge at once! WOOOOSH. Not a dream is heard Caught in the dreamcatcher grid, But the good ones Keep clean the REM zones. Native-American tradition I will surely petition.

Little earth is on the radar, under the starry net. Take a handful of soil, only gauging a star’s gait. Try once more can't do it without the star above, keeping a tab on the land, on every birth and trait.

#*Penning down the thoughts Am I not done with the words Have I used them all? **Round and round Thoughts and words In the loop bound** The thoughts have been naughty Jump off the mind cliff,  doughty Don’t want to be worded Flight to nowhere boarded Off the radar crash land , all spotty*#

Thoughts - Words (forms)
sitting here but not my insides        in a twist my organs blooming, their flower landscapes rising in my solar plexus like poetry expanding its cellular shapes into         light frequencies I need way more. I need the pulling off       and stripping down of souls I need to meet in a depth of falling I need to be pushed off the silent gates of madness into endless sea no looking back senses piqued from slightest brush of oral butter pouring on hot cream my mouth, a searing crimson wound oscillates in contraction radar pulses ripe for intense tongue exploration          aching to be filled up with your distinct flavor My essence molecular is overflowing with fluid giving me life in throbbing, raw electric vibes whipped organic, in                  rolling tides Somewhere, out there                   our volcanic impulses                           meet in steamy ebbs                      and send energyflow to a new and ancient universe, magnetic and I am a raging heaven's child       wrapped in            a tight little               tourniquet      blood pumping through these veins              my longing for                  dark stretches    of intimate caresses to soothe   the spikes       of snaking pain Give me those airwaves that let me breathe freedom into the fields of our skin Let me run like wild herds of the animal within and as I find myself hanging off my       own   edges my many-braided loops          in zigzag split, a-fray my skin rips open, parting fibers that expose my very       DNA helix swivel      undulation hips grinding into                      soul reaching in to pull out fresh rebirth from between my folds O help me to allay this tender affliction undo me, already so I lose control one little shove and I am over the cliff deep into ocean **** over spliff I am beyond ready so grind it to the hilt Give me your tender-ripped heart, spill your honeycomb milk I am here, ravenous in the pan uncooked yet ripe saliva and breath steaming my own innards flushing out strife I am piquant hot pepper ready to be broiled my blood is already                              boiling my tender meat oiled mull me over in your oral cavity like sacred wine until I drip through your bones and down your spine Just meld with me                         and flow into that light tunnel of dark time and space so I can stake out my rhythms and claim       my new sacred       place

When he comes home, I go into panic mode, The walls in my brain closing in, The bile in my throat rising, My teeth sweating in anticipation of what is to come When he comes home, I hope to god that I pass beneath the radar, Nothing more than a sigh on the breeze, Nothing more than a ripple in a pond Nothing for him to notice When he comes home, I make myself as small as I can, Hoping that he’ll ignore me like he has all these years, But knowing that it’s a futile attempt, Like trying to avoid the burning sun When he comes home, The nausea roils in my gut, Reminding me that I am nothing, That I will never be anything more than what he paints me to be When he comes home, I am reduced to “yes sir” and “no sir,” To eyes that are glued to the ceiling or floors, To fidgeting hands and twisting fingers To nothing more than a decoration to stand in the corner When he comes home, I try to retreat to my room, I try to give him the space that he seems to need, I try to leave him be and let him sleep, But nothing seems to work, and he yells all the same When he comes home, My home becomes nothing more than a battlefield, One that I cannot escape, One that there is no running from, One from which the injuries are only seen in the trauma that is left behind When he comes home, My life becomes nothing more than a play, A tragedy in which no one survives, A performance that I am supposed to know, But stage fright has taken over and the lines mean nothing to me now And I am frozen, hoping for the curtains to fall to cover my fear When he comes home, I quietly Exit Stage left.

When He Comes Home

Watching from beyond, writing their little notes. Look behind the brainstem and see the past perfect present tense. You thought about it and I heard it. We grabbed the thoughts. New bones and muscle. All the different ones, all the same thoughts pulsing, like brain radar bounding back. They're of me. they're in me. But he is not. The serpent retains it's form but it stays inside. It blinds my dreams. No escape, let craving; an eternal void. As it all becomes one form and function. We join. We are the new being, hideous and beautiful. I think he has taken my soul. I probably wasn't using it anyway. I am his disguise.

Conjunction
"Fantastic four!" they've said before, but I see nothing heroic here. The four of us lack a bond of trust and we were once so full of playful lust. Among us are earth, wind, water and fire, and everyone else seems full of desire to know us and our sibling powers. Fire, full of brutal wit and honesty, all you are is cruel to me. You treat me as the dirt beneath your feet. But I am earth and I take your ashes in my stride to make me stronger. Water, you are vital to my health, without you I would have no wealth-- you give me plants, ideas, and long ago I saw you as my idol. Now I'm older and no longer aspire to be who you are, I see your flaws and try to be myself, yet still partake in all your benefits, those that you are willing to offer. Oh wind, dear wind, you are my laughter! I love you more easily than either other. You give me hope, and sunshine, and though sometimes I'm overwhelmed, over all I'm so glad we are family. I am earth, and I am always in shadow, though you don't mean to put me there. Under the radar, I love you each and miss the days when we were young, before envy, competition, and distance were ever able to separate us.

Fantastic Four
Bottom feeders flourish When the economy's a bust When bad times are the norm And good times turn to dust When neighborhoods go south it's sad But a sign of their demise Is when a bunch of pawn shops open up Before your very eyes When stores close down or move on out After years in the same place Their memory is a radar blip They leave without a trace But as fast as they lock up their doors Another shop moves in It's the local pawn shop dealer He's a shark without a fin Like dollar stores and boarded doors The pawn shop shows the way That business has moved on out Or closed or moved away They prey on peoples hardship They broker deals without a care They don't need to know your history They just know that you're there The street has three new pawn shops Palaces of buy back stuff It's bad when there is one around But, three...well that's enough One opened by the Jeweller Two doors down across the street Now he's buying up possessions Of everyone he meets Folks who purchased jewellery From Old Cy at his old store For each twenty of it's value The pawn shop gives you four Cy can't afford to buy back He doesn't have much money left And besides his store insurance Doesn't cover much for theft The people at the Pawn shops Took jobs and live in town They trained two counties over They succeed when times are down It's a sign of the recession Downtown dies and fades away And then the bottom feeders surface Their the ones who're gonna stay You can look in the shop windows Know who bought what and from where You know the candlesticks were bought at Cy's And you know who bought them there The guitar that hangs beside them That was pawned by Emma Rose She needed money for the bills When the fresh fish plant had closed There's a snapshot of the township Sitting inside on their walls They pawn shop is successful While the economy still falls You can see a piece and start to cry For you know just why it's there There's no one here to help them There's no jobs and it's not fair They open up each morning While the nights dregs still sleep outside They have done two hours business Before lights on at Cy's It's a sad and constant story Of just what a town's become But when asked if they've been in there The inhabitants go "mumb" They never seem to close up The town's never make it back While most places lose money Pawn shops make it by the sack The bluesman has some stuff there The bartender has some too Even though her bar's still going She did what she had to do The street, it is it's own world Jewelly shops, banks and bars But inside the local pawn shops Are hidden all the scars.

You're an inspirational exciting jolt Like an invitational lightning bolt I'm suddenly shocked by the results When I am blocked by your revolt You have my beating heart in your hand Holding me hostage where I silently stand Staring at your ****** butcher's cleaver That morphs me into a landlocked ****** You're a two-hander Like a sledgehammer Or a radar jammer I start to stutter and stammer When I see your weekly planner And the lack of my presence Because I'm incessant You hold a pencil and an eraser You delete when I become a tracer And start to draw a better replacer You hold the scales of justice Though I claim you're unfit You say add that to the list From the throne where you sit And there's no avenue for any recourse When your other hand holds so much force I must deal with your actions So I can stay in your faction For my heart's attraction I am never right So we never fight And we never might Understand each other When we're taking cover From exposing vulnerability An exploding soul is filling me Because the cold mist killing steam Between us until you are only a dream And my mind starts bursting at the seams Until there's a monster barely mentally caged But the bars shake when it is constantly enraged When your saccharine emotions are cynically staged My bustling brain will unfortunately always be plagued By your neutral reactions which I'll never be able to gauge You hold two hands behind your back Will it be an attack? Our two hands should meet Instead I'm trampled by feet

You're an inspirational exciting jolt Like an invitational lightning bolt I'm suddenly shocked by the results When I am blocked by your revolt You have my beating heart in your hand Holding me hostage where I silently stand Staring at your ****** butcher's cleaver That morphs me into a landlocked ****** You're a two-hander Like a sledgehammer Or a radar jammer I start to stutter and stammer When I see your weekly planner And the lack of my presence Because I'm incessant You hold a pencil and an eraser You delete when I become a tracer And start to draw a better replacer You hold the scales of justice Though I claim you're unfit You say add that to the list From the throne where you sit And there's no avenue for any recourse When your other hand holds so much force I must deal with your actions So I can stay in your faction For my heart's attraction I am never right So we never fight And we never might Understand each other When we're taking cover From exposing vulnerability An exploding soul is filling me Because the cold mist killing steam Between us until you are only a dream And my mind starts bursting at the seams Until there's a monster barely mentally caged But the bars shake when it is constantly enraged When your saccharine emotions are cynically staged My bustling brain will unfortunately always be plagued By your neutral reactions which I'll never be able to gauge You hold two hands behind your back Will it be an attack? Our two hands should meet Instead I'm trampled by feet

** Note to self No.1** You have to qualify your haters, if they aren't on the same level as you - particular on the thing they are criticizing, then they don't even register on my radar. I would be a fool, to listen to someone that isn't better than me opinion(s) -- expecting to get better. i.e. If someone is giving you"advise" on how to be a better person, and they are a ****** person. This applies to all aspect of live.

Haters chronicles
coloring inside the lines is impossibly bleak, with a hissing noise atomic locomotive rounds the bend, extrasensory perception is not a mindless gift, it's a train station in the clouds, tracking all my starting points to you, nothing in the middle, nothing at the end. you leave in opera with secrets and grievances under the radar, and your ready-made wings catch in the power lines, you're coiling like smoke in the arches of my cathedral, a sense of elegant decay while sweeping up the debris, committing arson with the paraffin of my temporal lobe. yesterday's fairground waltzes, ghosted lullabies, and woodland hymnals, set in a context not of resolution and closure, but of contradiction and assimilation, break the bond, away they float on purveyor belts, one too many molecules, one too many departures, always on the surface of everything, nothing in the middle, nothing at the end.

Intense eyes, a majestic eagle,                  circling high, is the air she carries, a samba dancer luscious, who strikes                     blow after blow with her belly button, central stage always is hers                    a bird of pray elegant on the look out, the heightened awareness from                    a sense of clear danger present, is the reward she assures,                  to him every minute for being her escort. Rub her right, rub her wrong,                       find what it would bring was his itch the eagle woman conceals nothing,                      keeps her eyes keen, wide open, her mind a radar, focused on                     what is to happen the moment next, from mid air like a missile she swoops down,                     stand still for a moment and then strikes, she is on her prey, but he has                       slipped away, at the precise moment. Both are in awe of each other, but smiles,        on the dance floor they are glued to each other, he now plans a daring plot,                  named "The sword of Damocles" she is of two minds, love this game,                     finds him fitting the bill, yet the bird of prey awaits time for the next raid                         "He is made of dainty stuff".

Someone’s got it in for me Cause I’m not symmetrical Tried to tell them what I think Cause what it is I’ll never know Spotlight makes my skin crawl Just like their flawless tactics Never meant anyone harm, but Chemicals unwrapped my lips of plastic What a strange sensation When the devil really makes you do it What am I paying for I swear, the devil made me do it Someone’s got it in for me Cause I’m not balanced Tried to tell them what I think Amid shredded calendars Wish my heart had a radar So maybe I could make them see If faced with such evidence What would you think if you were me To top off the weird union Was a glimpse of a picture You bet your life he showed you off As a conquered freak in the tincture Spent years crawling under rocks Paranoid and spastic Then one horrid night Chemicals unwrapped my lips of plastic What a strange sensation When the devil really makes you do it What am I paying for I swear, the devil made me do it I went out of my body Then I went out of my mind
