"raiding" poems
Did you need something? Sorry, I'm raiding And I have plans with a friend To do some high rank arenas later "I can't right now" Or "Give me a moment" And that moment turns into ten Then twenty Perhaps an hour that lasts a day It's a horrible habit at times But I don't regret where I spend my life Twisted into the net Immersed in this video game Like an unhealthy addiction Only it's not It's my choice You do your thing As I hide behind this screen Enjoying my time Interacting with people Over great distances Whom I call friends They don't judge The way those around me do Believe it or not Just don't be fooled By those creeps out there But I promise Good people exist Over the net You just have to find them

Granny.took a switch to me. But I insisted on raiding the big mango tree. The big rainbow  ones hung kinda low. The sweet yelllow ones were close to the limb. They would sometimes come down In a huge carribean gust. And splatter. The young unripe green ones. Were my favorite. Treat. With crushed habaneros mixed in with some salt. Or mango. Sweet mango ice cream. Oh. Yeah let me dream.

Kashmir is not just beautiful It was also free of violence, Not too far back in history, That did occur just 7 to 8 centuries ago. Then they poured out of Central Asia, Hordes getting bigger with each wave, Eliminate they did the original people. In 1320, it was Zulju raiding Kashmir, Then Rinchana, a Tibetan Büđđhïst refugee, he took over. Rinchana had Shah Mir as his Minister, Shah Mir persuaded Rinchana to Islam. After Rinchana, his son was set to be the ruler, However, Shah Mir killed this lawful successor. In 1339, Shah Mir became the first Muslim ruler of Kashmiri lands, Initially, they did not dare harm the original Hïnđū inhabitants. Then it was just Muslim kings for few centuries and slowly the Hïnđū heaven slipped into Muslim hands. Now we know what is the ground reality, The demography became Islamized over centuries, All arts and crafts stand dwarfed by violence, What they aim is an Islamic State, an Islamic Earth.

How They Changed Demography Of Kashmir
High above dear Maple Street There looms a cold iron curtain of fear That dares to drop and let all the monsters Unleash their dreaded promise of chaos As in Europe despots gift a new World War Trembling parlors hug the radio Hallows Eve: the radio Begins to sing throughout dear Maple Street The Seventh Trumpet declares all out war And that heavy iron curtain of fear Eclipses the sun and invites chaos In vacant hearts of men into monsters Halloween Night: the monsters Now dance to the tune of the radio Raiding the stores, jumping bridges, chaos Entombing the stretch of this blood strewn street Parlors gorging on endless waves of fear Riding hysteria, imminent war O great catalyst of war Twisting the minds of men into monsters Diving your hands in that great pit of fear Now throbbing with screams from the radio No fences nor faces can save Maple Street Now plunged in the throes of sweet sultry Chaos And we call it Chaos This boiling of minds all stewing with war Once masked with humanity on this street Now reveals good neighbors make great monsters Skies of martians (n)or men, the radio Hissing, twists the knobs and tunes in to fear And when that curtain of fear Draws, and shadeless light casts on the chaos And the broadcast fades on the radio And mere fiction rescinds the throne of war What will we make of all of these monsters Scattered about in a daze through the street Where there are minds of fear and war, Chaos reigns and calls to the sleeping monsters; Tune in to Welles’s radio on Sterling’s street.

We stalked hawthorn hedgerows, Backyards our battlefields, Wielding wooden swords, Dustbin-lids, for our shields. We scouted railway cuttings, Long abandoned and disused, Where friendship’s blended alloys, Were cast, forged and fused. We patrolled village streets, Marched along muddied lanes, Proudly defending ‘our land’, From raiding, heathen, Danes’. We boldly challenged Vikings’, Beneath a Sixties-summer-sun, Bonding loyalty, faith and trust, That will never, come undone. Those days will not return, Memories-mismatched-truth, Recalling the fallen heroes, Fighting follies of our youth. Protecting imagined Kingdoms, Lost in time, for evermore, Boy soldiers standing guard, In Castles built from straw.

Boy Soldiers
On the strings Binding mortals together, you lay your dagger And set apart, The centre that holds us together… You set Our household in despair And unending Tears and sorrows, you fill our souls and hearts with... You are... Yes, a silent murderer, surely, you are: You invade the joy that fills The household of mortality and leave endless mourning songs on our tongues... In your presence, Where is the refuge of mortality? In your eyes, What is the value of mortality’s breath on this earth? From nowhere You have stepped your feet in our territory Draining breaths And raiding souls...alas, you plant the seed of fear in our hearts... You fill Our thoughts with forts of weary And crush Our hearts with dagger of fatality… You set Deafening quake and pains in our souls And wane the survival Of mankind on this shore with your arrival… Ebola— You, innocent faced murderer Who has found A niche in the home of strong-but-weak mortals... Ebola, Many you have set on that Voyage Of No Return¬¬— Their wails, alas, We hear in the silent night as their bloods smell on your arms… You are A scare to our existence For life is death And death is life with the arrival of your presence… Ebola, You’re but, a thief of souls... Murderer! Ebola, O’ yes, you are a silent ****** You are The silent murderer reaping our souls and setting down our household— You are the murderer Yet, feared to be approached by even the 'mighties'… You are An unseen beast; you’re a barbaric stranger... You are but, A silent murderer in our home... We wholly Hate you from the depth of our souls— Dark or white, Ebola, yes, we truly all hate you!

Caution you speak, I'm so sure of myself. Low line cinema in my house. Raiding my brain and running late for a train that doesn't even exist. You can touch so much yet feel so little. It's things like this, unspoken words. The ground beneath my feet shrinks every time we meet. Sooner or later Imma lose it all and finally fall. Right left up into your arm chair, Sitting cozy with my tea. Sort through memories and open safes with my code only in my head can you think the way I think. In misty visions the wizard casts his spells. In daily shadows you stay until the night time hides your evil eye.

Evil Eye
Train spotted on ancient rail tracks Mucks and grants on submerged pasts Copper and ***** metal poles point Upwards in heaven above the panelled tops Price all  the intentional conditioning A paradise of self sufficiency A dew of ranting , the metal raiding Price the substitutional compressions A timber frame of tunnels The heightened temperature Price and tag her beautiful mind An attachment of glorified plinth The punch of the chaotic medals Pride and rearrange her plentiful plight Show all her cast frame in crimson and greys

I live in Moshi,Tanzania, As a child,one day I got lost, A maasai took me to his home. He lived at the foothills of the majestic Mt.Kilimanjaro, His home was a kraal (hut) made of  stone,sticks and cow dung. I cried for my parents, So he fed me milk and blood from a cow, He pierced a hole in the cow's neck, He put a bamboo and told me to drink the blood, It was warm but I vomited, Gradually, I got used to it. The maasai's  way of life is communilism, Hunting,gathering and raiding neighbours cattle. Theirs is an age set system for men, The children look after the herd, I joined them having fun, No  school, no lessons or homework. Then,there were the Morans,the youths, They wore black **** cloths, Carried a spear in one hand, Their faces were painted with white ochre. They protected the clan and the cattle, From predators and other tribes. They lived in a circle of huts called manyatta. After being circumcised the Morans were taught the art of warfare The bravest warrior got to wear the feathers of an ostrich. The senior morans could marry and settle down, The Moran who jumped the highest got the best girl. The Laigewenanis trained the morans to be warriors, My maasai was a laigwenani, Like all maasais, he was tall and lean, He wore a bright red shuka cloth with black stripes, A red tartan blanket was slung on his shoulder, He always held a long bladed stabbing spear, His long hair was tightly braided, He had ochre painted on his body, He had no children and treated me like his son, He would take me to teach the morans about warfare. But,he had to take the permission of the chief, the Laibon. The Laibons were the chief religious leaders, They settled disputes, They decided when and on whom to attack. Luckily,after two months my maasai and I had gone to a game reserve for hunting, A game warden found me. He alerted the police and I was taken home safely. But,I missed my maasai and their pastoral way of life.

At eight weeks old, she was our newly rescued mixed beagle pup. Noah named her Daisy. Not a name I would have chosen, but certainly as sweet as memories of Grandma's homemade molasses bubbling in the old iron kettle brought out from the smokehouse for only one day each year on a crisp fall morning. By sixteen weeks it was evident that all involved in the rescue didn't know squat about Beagles. After a frantic thirty seconds on Google, our mistake was quite clear in the form of about five hundred red and black and tan photographs.   We were the proud but red-faced and slightly shocked owners of a **** Dog". Yep. And Daisy was her name-o. Two years and seventy pounds down the road, I sat in my morning solitude spot this day with a good mug and a good book watching the nut hatches, house finch, and Black-capped/Carolina Chickadees tearing that special blend seed up as Daisy patrolled the yard for squirrels with one eye and her nose to the sky watching for the lone and clever Rock Pigeon scout that always precedes the flurry of flying rodents raiding my feeder. I can't help but to smile as Daisy glances at me through the deck door glass to see if I am admiring her skill and diligence.   I am. This being a Sunday before the dreaded M word day, I tend to lounge lazily around the house in my worn Clapton pj bottoms and hol(e)y Langley T-shirt. My shadow follows me from comfort to comfort spot knowing that I leave a trail of odd snacks from my kitchen perch to living room couch to study to lazy bed, and back again. She is showing a bit of winter fat. To be continued.... r ~ 9Feb14

Let's love each other like children lazing on the couch, raiding the kitchen Eggos and Saturday morning cartoons Don't need a marriage or a honeymoon Cherry blow pops and dollar stores playing with plastic dinosaurs Cause we're of a different breed This platonic love is all we need

Platonic
Blister packs and Auld Lang Syne, the rain-dance in the rain-forests where no one keeps time; the maypole, the bar stool, the sunstroke pilgrimage; the Superbowl commercial, the secret raiding of the fridge- all conforming to some routine of half-comfortable bliss; we stumble blindly through our blueprint futures- we borrow our happiness. The truth is out there if you look within: the circadian rhythm, the central nervous system; the clamour of your mind in the face of chronic stress. The Lenders are out in the crowds now, with their placards of high-interest amongst the indifference of the street-meat vendors, the numbered tables at the bar; we spoil ourselves in the reach of the so near's; that we forsake all of the so far's.

My brain is your atomic nuclear warfare paintings All the while you face-lift X-box babies Needle-thread we're dead babe don't you make a man crave For things he can't quite understand but doesn't want to hit the hand. Severance is fiction in the hands of friction, ****** deviance and erratic disobedience, Covers the covers like a silk-screen layout Jack it up and crack it up to be ****** up takeout. Oh yeah? Well over we're starving ripping pieces off the mountains Dentistry mythology, who needs a medical degree? The label on the box said the tape was all in my head But I don't hear a ******* sound except the fire all around Grass is misleading and graffiti complaining The AK is God here and through towns we're raiding You think you got it so bad this is all the life we ever had And don't you ever stop by cause our values are just alibis. Okay, enough! This is all a double feature burger for here or to go This is all a Catholic preacher in a Red Cross rodeo Life is an airplane flying overhead carrying passengers with nothing in their heads And turning all the lights out and pulling all the blinds down so they can't see the truth. Disguise misguide and everything in between Have you seen the ***** film with Jenna Haze and Jimmy Dean? Garden salad, Diet Coke, check now and choke Give us our bombs so we can run and go and rig the new VOTES. Let me run it by the city council one more time We're seeing flying cars and houses of cards and stumbling and tumbling And rumbling and rumoring the hilarious splinter consumering Maneuvering, assuming bottles fly with seagull eyes The trees burn here like candy canes and run in the grass like membranes Toxic fumes and entrails for reasoning and cold shame Shudder at the thought of a shutter in a hot fuzz tee shirt worn by the slick insane Generating heaterpuppy psychologic fragile now, undertow, the fifth row in the theater at the Apollo.

Examining the accuracy. Exploring the brightness. Hunting for certainty. Inquiring the directness. Inspecting the lucidity. Investigating the precision. Pursuing purity. On a quest for simplicity. Researching transparency. Chasing articulateness. Frisking comprehensibility. Going over conspicuousness. Inquesting a definition. Rummaging for distinctness. Scrutinizing the evidence. Shaking down the exactitude. On an expedition for explicitness. Working the legs towards intelligibility. A perquisition for legibility. A wild-goose chase for limpidity. A witch hunt for obviousness. Interrogating openness. Probing the palpability. Prosecuting the penetrability. Racing perceptibility. Raiding perspicuity. Coursing the plainness. Following the prominence. Hounding the salience. Meddling in the tangibility. Prying into the unambiguity. Reconnaissance in the cognizability. Seeking decipherability. Snooping for explicability. Sporting limpidness. On a steeplechase for manifestness. Studying the overness. Tracing unmistakability.

Searching for Clarity
Nothing to write, not today.. The words in my head just don't want to play, And now my head is a wondering mess, with all the jumbled up **** that I posses, Silence in my house is extremely rare you know? It's distractions and noise that are running this show! Iv doodled some stick men and Iv yelled at the kids, who are currently shouting and raiding the fridge. No fun to be had, not now any way.. Iv gotta clean up! It's all work and no play, And now all I want is some chocolate and sleep! Or maybe some wine to ensure the release, What I'm cooking the clan is next on the agender, something healthy and nice to keep us all slender? ****** that! Tonight it's beans on toast.. Nothing fancy not even a roast! Mum's on strike, mum's not happy.. Going mad with each changed ***** But I'll carry on, ya know? "as you do" reminiscing of days when alone I went to the loo! If your a poet parent you will know this too, Writing with distractions is all you can do! X

Writing with distractions
Before air became gas And water waste; Before light became lasers And fireworks cannons; Before cars got wings And trucks got tracks; Before rafts were raiding ships And we breathed underwater; Before sticks were arrows and spears And we exalted ourselves; Before Empires rose and fell And rose and fell, A femur crushed Cro magnon's skull. It's a marvel How any of us Are here At all.

Before We Exalted Ourselves
shiver'd awake, no rain-guard on your tent. beautiful to see the stars when that drunk sends you spinning, but it got cold. real cold. the two of you went for cigarettes. necessary, after a blur'd night with raiding raccoons. piss'd the night before, piss'd the morning after; you were right hungover. while gone, i built the fire to cook. (that fire, that fire was my baby) rations were raid'd by wildlife in the night, left were a can of chili and some fritos. knifed the top off can, began breakfast. your return brought cigarettes, hair of the dog, excitement at the day beginning. mention'd dog hair, available only after raccoon raids and sinking cans. night prior we weren't as drunk as i think. i remember. i guess. it fix'd us up, though, as our immoderate breakfast hit home.

I am experiencing a problem with my poetry I do not know what my next step will be Wobbly Stumbling over syllables and web pages I am shaking and vibrating Spot light is blinding on life's stages I keep forgetting my lines So I speak of shoe laces in leveled metaphors and the look of their flesh cases was ageless Yet, I can't stand their faces Not on this or that knee It is anxiety I thought it was mild but its becoming severely annoying. Faults and fractures flake my stature like bark from a tree Just start running Evading Something I do not want to face Slave trading, soul maiming while their raiding I am hidden in the shading of planets in space We're all black in this place No superiority nor disgrace Just aiding the next broken person so they can have a chance in the race.

Broken Knees
Barbarians, and archers, and goblins oh my ! Restless in army camps for the raiding is nigh. The builders are busy setting up my next plot, Deciding where the mortar can pull off the best shot. A chop and a cut, and voila ! More land to use, Setting up decorations, all cast as a ruse. I look to my shield, and the icon says “none”, If I don’t request troops soon I’ll surely be done! I prepare to attack, but don’t like what I see, So “next” I press, and hope for a camp that’s easy ! Aha! I exclaim as I find a weak prey, Gold walls or not, I’ll be claiming victory this day ! Giants come rumbling, to cause some destruction, Followed by wall breakers to remove all obstruction. With holes now aplenty, in come the rest of the crew, To pilfer and plunder and do what they do. 100% !!! And 3 stars the finale, Plus 35 more trophies to add to my tally. Mission completed, I set back to my camp, A smile on my face feeling like a real champ ! The day’s at an end so off goes the phone, In the middle of the night I hear a familiar tone. I reach for my ipad and what do I see, ****** ! I’ve been raided by PãRāß@pk !!! With shields now up for the next 16 hours, My resources are safe and I can upgrade my towers ! And thus ends the day’s tale of cast spells and flighted arrow, Don’t worry Clash of clans, I’ll be back tomorrow !!!

The feminine voice finds many ways to my ear It conceals its muffled words in droplets of water Brushes against me while in tow of unknowing winds Shrieking whispers invade my solitude Masters of disguises invisible to young eyes. I can never fall asleep as gently as I once could Drifting into the safe havens has become a rough journey Dreams have become a great escape rather than a warm embrace Through battle they have my eyes hostage By their command they unwillingly disallow rest. As butterflies caught in a storm, my eyes flutter manically in their cage In closed lids they pry and scratch in search of escape. Never ceasing to stop looking they trap me in this limbo Almost treacherously aiding the sexless voiced general In his raiding my humanity for feelings to satisfy his troops hunger. But they are disappointed more often than not Self ruining feelings are all this soulless ghost army craves A delicacy they tasted in me and fed on in greed I am sorry, dear enemy, your momentary pleasure is over This storage is running low from frequent raids of provoked panic and emotion. This war has been long, and no longer appears a battle More a dance well practiced, predictable every night You have eaten all of what you desired, but fear not I have something left Without catch nor trickery I give to you a message of kindness and savior- It reads Your hunger will bring starvation So let me sleep, or continue your attacks to your downfall.

I Remember this Dance
Amorous gaze still not returned Still hoping just Undecided You'll just  serve as the muse for a poem you'll never hear recited Do I get entangled in the infatuation The unrequited love, the obsession Let his rejection send me spiraling into self doubt and depression? Oh not I Yes I will cry I will feel and I will write Ill stare at the bruises on my inner thigh left from his bite Ravenous Raiding my temple And me Loving Every second of it Every angle, Everything it meant and yes even everything that meant nothing everything that meant nothing beyond that moment, the hungry, delightful, destructive and wonderful moment. collection of moments. No, I've never been great at collecting.

Collecting
A mass ****** of killings. It truly is, a wicked thing. You'll never see us, surrendering. Not until the war is over. Thousands of soldiers, marching along. What they don't know is, they'll soon be gone. I've seen many men, go to war. And I can't take it, anymore. I'm not an adversary, to war. Only when necessary. Thousands of soldiers, marching along. What they don't know is, they'll soon be gone. Hope keeps them marching, fearless and strong. But, they don't know that, they'll soon be gone. Silence falls, over the battlefield. The time has come, your fate is sealed. We have to fight, we cannot run. The time has come, the war has begun. Thousands of soldiers, marching along. What they don't know is, they'll soon be gone. Hope keeps them marching, fearless and strong. But, they don't know that, they'll soon be gone. Thousands of soldiers, marching along. Raiding small towns, during the early dawn. Hate keeps them killing, fearless and wrong. The government controls them, they are its pawns.

Welcome to War
the politicians down under have just given themselves a wage increase and the taxpayer would be far happier if this kind of thing did cease our members of parliament are fattening up their pay packets we the taxpayers are onto their most unwarranted rackets they tell us we must show restraint in all of our pay rise requests as the nation's finances cannot be held down by these outlandish behests yet they so love having the extra quids put into their pay pots while us taxpayers never get a single dollar placed into our meager plots the politicians are great at lining their pockets with our hard earned cash they have no conscience when it comes to raiding the taxpayer's stash next year those greedy politicians will be crying poor mouth again and us put upon taxpayer's shall be feeling their wage rise pain

Wage Rise Pain
I find myself far gone, drifting alongside the beach of some nubian kingdom A sharp inhale of starlight and cutting holes of awe, she's there for me. but, Not in presence, Red clouds limping through my comfort, keeping me safe far far off, in its tempered perfection. Writing my fiction, one word at time, biting into my rotten ear, cracked surfaces of sugar lined castle spires pointing downwards, In the paradox named perception. Release! Stretched out in our isolation. yet I'm alone, becoming longer, wandering, raiding into an artificial night Where no time appears to pass. Encroaching on the expectation. for food, be it wanted or difficult, for lips, ink nor illness. The coast brings in an ease that I drink from, when dilly-dallying, along the mad irreverence of a random bed that you dream of each time you wake, each time you sleep, There is no content in your bed sheets. Spiralling in and out of information infection, Oh how? Oh how can I sleep, when I stand with my back to space? Splaying limbs as they exert the last beams of recklessness - reverting to old habits, obsession with erratics, no form and no care. Riddled with a chaotic mop head of stringed stupid. How cute. Juiced from his tender prospects, intent on separation entering use **** bored and loose Frothy white moaning flow, tenderly crushing Contingency. I avoid moving inland, for fear of peace of mind Combing the canal with the brisk jaunt of my limping legs, unsure of themselves in amidst, the warmest blanket on the coldest day. An old kingdom, founded on consumption, tradition and extraction. We keep our distance, I keep my distance. Cold water minces around my feet. Pith/Medulla. Falling to earth, beneath the sedge.
