"recreated" poems
Dear J, I may be at a loss for words half the time, and the other half I might have too much to say, but I can almost always say this; I love you. I have felt fear and I have felt bravery and I have felt loss. I can look pictures of us and I can recall everything we did that day. I can listen to videos of you and I can tell what you felt. And I know that you didn't think I was paying attention, but I knew how you looked when you thought something was unfair. And I knew the look in your eyes when you saw the light just right in a sunset and you knew that nothing could ever be recreated quite like that. I felt the same way about you. Wherever you are, know that loving someone isn't a matter of feeling something or not feeling something. It's a matter of knowing what you're feeling and when you need to let go. I think that people know that letting go involves unfurling your fingers and watching something fall from a great height. It's the act of following that objects downward motion that gets to us. That once it meets the ground or whatever surface it is deemed to hit, it's gone. What was there is gone. And once you think about that you think of what could have been there. That one last touch, that one last feeling of bliss that comes with knowing that the moment you wake up the sun will be shining in rivulets through fingers that tangle in hair fresh off the pillow. It's sad to know that nothing like that will happen again. The sun won't shine the same way. Instead it may simply fall. It won't cascade, it won't flow over the edges of noses or smiling lips. It's the same way water may lose a stone from a riverbed and from there on after it doesn't run quite the same way. But another stone, another pebble will fall in place because replacement happens. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that letting go is letting someone else take a spot. In order for something else to happen you have to let your joints move out of their grip and unfold from their hold on something that wasn't meant to be held by you anymore. Sometimes you have to let them land somewhere new. I only hope that it's somewhere even more beautiful than before. Claire

The theory of letting go

*So many colors on nature’s palette There are many moods and emotions Picturesque gallery of many paintings Forever framed in the travelers mind Masterpieces cannot be recreated If we only hold onto black and white Immerse the soul in nature’s color Many shades will color the spirit*

A Birthday Poem for Sally B: what-matters-can-neither-be-created-or-destroyed ~~~ the principal thing about principles, like the concept of time, that in time, with time, they come to reflect our immutable essence's own best reflection, come only, round or square come only, too little too late come, too much too soon so the simpler, the better, so the matter of what really matters needs capture in some capsulated summary form, a daily vitamin for the soul so I thank you for the gift of your birthday, the anibersaryo of a day of naissance, this one solo, kakaiba, among the many, a present presented to the world *so on this particular day, we must thank you for the wonder of wonder that justifies existence, for what truly matters cannot be created or destroyed, and your matter, mass, your presence's  Grace upon this earth, graces the hearts of thousands, today and forevermore this is what matters and can never be recreated, can never be destroyed... ~~~

A Birthday Poem for Sally B.: what-matters-can-neither-be-created-or-destroyed
If grass was a girl, She'd be so beautiful That words wouldn't justify her. They would have to be unwoven and recreated For them to fit her. She would shine and grow in the light, But feel all of the pain in the world When in the darkness. It would make her wither away into nothingness And disappear. But, out of the blue, She would appear again To always be there for everyone who needs her. Those people, however, Would not appreciate her love And would trample over her as if She were nothing. If grass was a girl, She would be crushed by the world And see a fractured image of it Through a long broken window. Her happiness would be stolen by the selfish, Who take for themselves and never give back. That's the thing About the girl named "Grass". She's broken, unable to differentiate Between those who care about her And those who do not. She becomes isolated in a cocoon of sadness Because no one appreciates her for who she is. However, A drop of rain later, She is happy again And becomes even more beautiful than she was before.

Grass
as fortune turned his back on him and hope got out of sight the sun eclisped and love escaped into the fading light all on his own, betrayed, alone no one even near had denied the truth for too long he stood and froze in fear His silent screams remained unheard they just died away than finally he lost his faith his whole world turned to grey Shades of pale, diffuse light colourless and dim soundless echoes, ghosts of the past whispering to him How could he leave this zone of grey He started to walk paths of shadow substance blurred, he went astray and for every step he stumbled on he had to give a piece of his soul away soon he'll be a wraith himself last tribute left to give was his fear awakening clearness stroke him hard this would not be his end – not here Ravishing beauty, colourful shades how could he have been so wrong? ignoring the welcome that twilight did offer this was the place where he belonged embraced the twilight, felt libidious power recreated, completed, transformed into someone new but Twilight's kiss demands its own price Now he'll be haunting you.

TWILIGHT'S KISS
*"So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."* Shall I compare thee... ...to the Iguazú Falls River, where legend serves that a serpent; Boi, demanded a sacrifice each year of a young female, and the day two lovers; Tarobá and his beautiful maid Naipí, took to escape, and in revenge of such an act, Boi exuded such anger that he parted the river, thus forming the Iguazú Falls, splitting the river and condemning to two lovers to the falls. or ...to Cristo Redentor; Christ the Redeemer, the Art Deco statue, protecting and looking over the city of Rio de Janeiro, to whom in all its glory cannot escape the force of nature, struck by lightning, causing damage irreplaceable. or …to The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, hundreds of metres into the sky, a place that to this day is unknown, myth being that King Nebuchadnezzar recreated the homeland of his precious wife Amyitis, who was deeply depressed and homesick, allowing her to find comfort and happiness. or …the Taj Mahal, of Pradesh, constructed using marble by the emperor Shah Jahan, in loving memory of his third wife; Mumtaz Mahal, the jewel of Muslim art, a calligraphy written Great Gate reading; "O Soul, thou art at rest. Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and He at peace with you. or …the Temple of Artemis; Istambul, on sacred land in honour of the Greek goddess Artemis, the most apotheosized of Greek deities, the supposed daughter of Zeus and Leto, the temple also known as Diana, one of the goddesses who vouched never to marry; alongside Minerva and Vesta. or … the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, of the Persian Empire, whereby Mausolus ornamented four sculptures created in relief for his wife (and also his sister); Artemisia II of Caria, generating an above ground tomb that would become to be listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But of all, I compare thee to the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sexuality; Aphrodite arising from the sea, floating ashore on a shell; Venus rising from the sea, a lover of many, later depicted as a painting of the Birth of Venus, by the sufferer of unrequited love; Botticelli, using his muse Simonetta Vespucci as a model. © Sia Jane

Unfairly Accused
He recently shared something with me about holding hands. Everything written in the piece was true. From the start, his hands have made me feel safe, nurtured, needed, adored, wanted, and healed. See, I rarely let anyone touch me before. Human touch was not something I craved until him.  I didn’t know how much I needed it until I wanted it, but he did.       As he reached for my hand yesterday , as he does countless times, I began to notice things on a deeper level. I saw the structural beauty and strength of his hands; his skin color, his beautiful fingers, the veins, the hair pattern. I reflected on how many keystrokes they typed and words they’ve written. I thought of how many times they played the sax and played video games with skill and passion.      Then, I remembered this past year. Those hands created a beautiful room for me in his home. Those hands literally moved ALL my physical belongings exclusively on their own. They held my hair as I was sick with my head over his toilet. They actually mopped up my cats’ ***** when it was overflowing at my old house.               They have painted, caulked, sawed, sanded, created, recreated, cooked amazing meals, chopped countless veggies, cut every piece of meat he served me, taught me to use his PS4 controller, dried my hair, colored my hair, massaged away my pain, and given me love I didn’t know existed and more.      His hands have been blistered, scraped, calloused, cut, pricked, sore and he doesn’t complain; they never stop giving nor does he. And I’m so grateful and honored to be the one whose hand he holds forever...

There are no wilds. The most dangerous places where I live - are inhabited only by humans. The woman with the most plastic surgery sits idly by as each day her features are torn down and reassembled by someone who obviously has other plans for her face, carefully plotted on blue paper. Where once her pores gave us shelter, it is now her plastic features which we hide behind, forgetting the simple beauty of a woman without makeup or a tree, in a forest of others. The woman with the most plastic surgery sits and weeps - for she was once powerful and magnificent, omnipresent Mother Nature we have recreated in our own likeness, instead of hers; We are the ones who cover the dirt in cement.

The Woman With The Most Plastic Surgery
I always felt inadequate around her she tickled a piano like a child composing a beautiful laughter in the winded chest of a string instrument with no agenda these are the times that I’m grateful for huge siblings that see everything global surveillance for these chance moments that are only ever recreated in scripts mandated to what we wish for reeling in net-fulls of the hopeless that though have had their hopes tested are unmoved their hearts caressed and back-rubbed out of the misery of a reality that is only so if it an be seen on a screen who’s Eden stands in the clay of a dream

On 'Mystery' and 'Why'
dinner Greenport-side, watching the shuffling ferries do their sworn duty, a back ‘n forth wearisome toll, while we sip a rose and a PBR, respectively and with respect no enthusiasm afterward for anything but an early off to bed, and slip into pj’s asap me in my knackered wholly Hanes fundie knickers, no thinking required but she retires, re-attires in a summery combo, a gray sweat t-shirt and green and white plaid pj pants which she is unawares are my favorites cause they lop off fifty years, a teenage woman re-incarnate recreated cause her figure now womanly full, better than then morning awake l, a disturbance of the peace, recall a snuggling a wake up hug, and her bottoms conspicuously gone missing over break fast I inquire over yogurt and berries and a smoked mozzarella omelette, what happened to those plaid bottoms? assuming I was innocent of any transgressions as best I could recall with a sheepish childlike grin, that made look like she was twenty again, to match the now yoga toned body, she confesses: forgot to tie the bowstrings and they slipped down to my ankles blessed and cursed I thought! too much of a gentleman to take advantage, AND my situational awareness was slipping badly, but when a poem comes across, ready and pre-writ, I’m still young enough to grab aholt of it and never let go 6/23/18

Friday Night Immodesty Redressed II
~ Sitting on my rhinestone lotus pond floating around in my oceanic bedroom The haunting begins its sinister buzzing with a silent ‘vroom’ Wooden door opening by itself My jeweled heartbeat falls from a bone frame shelf Demons hanging like poisoned vines from the painted ceiling sky Gods then pours their breath inside my empty soul, drowning all insinuated lies Butterfly piano keys fluttering their enchanted melodies The notes dripping pearls of discarded lullabies into my hidden pleas Lost dreams entangled in my seashell hair As I sit cradling broken memories in my emerald iris, the ones I’ve forgotten to share Dead skin peeling from my fingertips as I turn a dusty page in my notebook Loose frays of secrets coming apart, falling away in my Underland outlook I remember the day I recreated my being, as I drew Self into a mermaid rose Piercing my revolving face with a jagged pen, **** fairytales bleeding from my lips, a new world I chose My dress of ivory seaweed has caught onto a sharp end I sink into the onyx murky depths of my rhinestone lotus pond, wishing for a friend Discarded Bombarded Licking death, seeing the dead My attire drifts in the sulphide air, swirling with the essence of dread I now leave my surreal sanctuary As rhinestones melt, the pond drains, the lotus folds its metal origami I’m back from the world I created Back to reality where a sententious poet is constantly hated Back to a butterfly wallpapered bedroom where hallucination spend Yea I’m back, but not for long, not until inspiration comes and I swallow my pen And into my notebook realm I will be back in my own world again… ~

Subject of forced indoctrination Given a placebo of hope And made to look at society Through artificial eyes Just another disfigured mind Molded through the Systematic eradication Of constitutional freedoms Walking with a knife in your spine And shackles on your head And the force-fed propaganda Giving a false notion Of a peaceful reality Is this what you want? Step away from the wires of captivity The Automated Deity of our future Be one with yourself Be reborn Not recreated

I come before you Yehoshua with my hands lifted up in holiness. All I ever have is my faith in you. You know my heart, and my emptiness you know. You understand my feelings, and my follies you forgive. I am renewed and recreated daily, transmogrified into a new creation like I've never existed before because of you Yehoshua. My weakness are before you, my past you erased and forget. I am nothing without you because you are my strength Yehoshua. Your presence is comforting and reassuring for you are my glory and my salvation. All power belongs to you. Everything fails when you are not with me. You are the breathe within breathe for your Spirit dwells in me. There's no joy within without your presence. Your touch restores all things, and cause everything to heal. We cannot fully worship you when health fails, restore our brokenness Yehoshua. Your supremacy confounds the heart of man for no one can challenge you. You reign as King in the castle of my heart where you dwell in Majesty. The glorious beauty of your existence transcend and pervades all things. You transmute the gross material from nothing into gold. Every created things ever made resonates to you. All creatures above the earth, in the earth and, beneath the earth adores you and sing of your glory. Your awesomeness is a wonderful wonder. Thank you for everything that you do. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme.

Dreamland
Three evenings ago, I blasted my music so sharply that my melancholy heart began beating to the rhythm of that old song I used to play when I was trying to forget about you. This is the second goodbye. The first goodbye, there were whirlpools in my heart and tsunamis in my eyes. My words were barbed with unexpected truths that grazed deeply, don’t worry your words in response required medical assistance after as well. The first goodbye was displaced by a deafening silence that forced me to write so that I would be comforted by listening to my pen slide along the paper or my fingertips skate along the keyboard. The whirlpools in my heart and tsunamis in my eyes brought you waves three months later but by then I no longer desired noise to help cover up the excruciating silence for I was finally sleeping peacefully at night. Three months later you acted as if I was a lighthouse and you were a sailor longing for the shore because the waves you felt were too strong, as if I could and would help guide you out of this. You sent me messages hoping I would give the signal to bring you back, but let me repeat myself, you weren’t longing for me, you were longing for the shore. You were searching for guidance that would then bring you to safety and then once everything was sound and safe, you would abandon the shore and discover the roads that people drive on and forget their way back. Time in one way or another had shortened the distance between us. But now this is the second goodbye. The sun is shining, the air is warm and flowers are blooming. This may not be rambunctious and crushing like the previous tsunamis and whirlpools but do know, it’s as constant as the waves crashing on to the shore, day after day after day. The waterline being recreated wave after wave acting as a quiet banner that reads: “I’ve made it this far without you and I’ll do it again and again and again.”

The Better Place in Those Eyes (10W)
The rule of the self is exalted above any adherence to any thing/feeling. Their notions of doubt ruling over existence and is in the supreme station of reason and power. It sheds the former existence of yesterday inasmuch as we are always recreated. The philosopher's stone which can conceive of no other thought except the originality of the self. It drinks the seven seas as if a drop and asks, "Is there yet any more?" No authority save the intimate friend can find its way here. Every stranger is betrayed and its chariot becomes outworn for the rider. And when they look at themselves they behold their powerlessness in the face of every nation, which simply makes them embark on the conquest of their own heart. Every listener is as a bullet to their enemy. Every truth is as a fallen warrior for their Cause. No wind is sufficient to curtail their sense of direction. Every human acknowledged is as a piece of sand supporting their path. There is no end to their perturbing of the skies. The poem is unfinished as the scribe of their tale is astounded by the regeneration of their march.

i am in awe when i look at you not at your flame and your feathers but rather the way you choose to sever the tethers people tried to use to bind you to the idea of who they thought you were and rather than get caught up in their perceptions you chose instead to rise from the ashes of those misconceptions alight and alive with new purpose without a trace or shadow of what you left behind the old you was incinerated, turned to ashes in the fire of your passions as you recreated yourself a man of ambition whose intelligence and tenacity veracity burn so bright you can't even look right at him you remade yourself into who you wanted to be did the thing that so many others strive and fail to and somehow it's like you forget how far you've come because the man i'm talking to, he has no idea how to be kind to himself how to silence the voices within him that lie and tell him that he is not enough, doesn't do enough, will never be enough remember whenever those whispers start up that say you're a loser, a disgrace, not enough that when i look at you i am truly inspired by the events in your past that i know have transpired leading up to this transformation that begs the comparison between you, my friend, and a mythical bird both reborn from a ghost of who you were into a fiery beacon of hope, inspiration remember that it was all you and your ambition that led to this recreation

the phoenix
She was a whirlwind. A beautiful flurry of kindness and compassion and sympathy stitched on the wings of an angel never meant to touch the ground. She was a woman whose outstretched hand reached out and touched the lives of many like droplets of paint on a white canvas. She inspired, recreated. She molded her children to become what she was - maybe to become what she always wanted to be. But she was everything. She was the best she could be. But the best was not enough to protect her from falling onto that hospital bed. The best doctors. The best nurses. The best medicine. The best was not enough to heal her pain. The morphine which ran deep through her rich veins and engulfed her was not enough to cure her from the ****** aching in her. The oh, shuddering throbbing that raked and wracked her body. The throbbing that shook the empire inside her, knocking down the little soldiers in which supported her and made her who she was. And all this. This hurricane unfolded, as the children she made stood by and could only watch in anguish. In regret, her son slams his fist against the grainy counter, tears like floods erupting as if a dam had been broken inside him. "I'm losing her!" He screams and shouts, throat raw with emotion. As her daughter can all but stare, a string seconds away from snapping and back lashing like a flashback of her mother playing in her head, slapping her in the face back into reality. Because just a month ago, in the sweltering heat of June of 2011, her son had graduated high school. He did his best. And her daughter graduated middle school. She did her best. Their mother was proud, clapping loud and clear through the faces of those in the crowd who did not matter to her children. But the best did not save their mother. No text book or diploma or certificate from the children or degrees or credentials from the doctors could cure her. The woman laying in the practically snow white hospital sheets with the eerie beep beep beeping of the only lifeline she had was not saved. By the best doctors, the best nurses, the best medicine. Not even the kids she considered the best things in her life could do much, either. However, She was my mother. She was the best.

"The Best"
She was a whirlwind. A beautiful flurry of kindness and compassion and sympathy stitched on the wings of an angel never meant to touch the ground. She was a woman whose outstretched hand reached out and touched the lives of many like droplets of paint on a white canvas. She inspired, recreated.

I think the reason why we live is because of death. We fear death, we fear the unknown. One could even dare say the unknown is the future. It's the reason why we cling onto the past so much, we fear the unknown the most. I believe without a doubt that reincarnation happens and some could say that people's souls grow older and wiser. Yet why do people commit suicide? One could say that they are new souls, new creations of life. However as I think about it more and more, could it possibly be because the soul is starting to realize that life is too unpredictable and too unbearable? Maybe those who commit suicide are the souls who are actually a little mature. Maybe the reason why some people look forward to the future is because they are actually new souls. Then there is those who are wise beyond their years and still look forward to the future. Perhaps souls that grow too old become energy and become recreated into new souls to continue on. Perhaps the evil people with souls are being cleansed to create a new start. Perhaps that's the reason why sociopaths exist. Maybe they're just old souls who have seen many lives and are starting to lose the vitality it once had. Perhaps they are in the process of getting their souls cleansed from all they have done after they have been punished. The real reason why we would seek immortality is because we fear death. However I believe that even after we erase the fear of death, we will end up growing a new fear. Fear is inevitable. We will end up growing to fear love. Sounds funny, why would we fear love? If you're immortal, you will start to see the beauty of life and death. You will watch the people you grew up with, you laughed with, you work with, you care about, and you loved die. You will start pushing away all of them, everyone for fear of getting close. If you're immortal, that doesn't mean that you don't have a heart. Your fear of death is nothing like the fear of love. Unlike the fear of death, you will be alone if you fear love. The fear of death only makes bonds between those who also fear death. However to fear love will cause you to alienate yourself from the people around you. A soul cannot live on it's own. It will only disintegrate and get it's soul ripped inside and out. We must have death in order to live. Because life without death is miserable and lonely.

Thought on life (not a poem)
I think the reason why we live is because of death. We fear death, we fear the unknown. One could even dare say the unknown is the future. It's the reason why we cling onto the past so much, we fear the unknown the most. I believe without a doubt that reincarnation happens and some could say that people's souls grow older and wiser.

Plane Poetry: I go to Barber aisle seat C 14, an emergency exit row, forced to solemnly swear that for the extra legroom, I will solemnly assist to open the exit door, me first as my reward, and keep my terrified screaming below an elephant's trumpeting mating call what hast this to do with a trip to Barber? you Brits and Aussies, ever economical, say went 'to hospital,' leaving we Ameddicans to dignify that august institution as going to The Hospital Thus advised, be apprised, a Nota Bene Benidictus: I go to Barber, Not I go to the barber. Samuel Barber, Adagio for String Quartet, Barber If unfamiliar with this piece, you will recall it well if "Apocalypse Now" registers at all If not stop immediately, return to Go, start here, www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRMz8fKkG2g be prepared to surrender your mortality, listen and if effected, if you find yourself on your knees weeping, recalling the days of loss, the early empires of hope, the first kiss of your firstborn and unknowingly, the last you gave a loved one if you have the courage to be touched and impacted, as I, then welcome back to right here where why... *I go to Barber where violins soar me heavenwards, where violins rip open sores long since scarred over, I go to Barber and float, eyes sky'd, as water fills and departs my body simultaneously, I go to Barber to know that art can rise beyond, that my weakened, wrecked human flesh, surpassable   I go to Barber to harmonize my disconcordia, romantic lyricisize my waning days, I go to Barber to voluntary confess, admit my impoverishment, to acknowledge that they, my days, yet are capable, I go to Barber to remember and to forget, to mark and unmark time I go to Barber to be created and recreated, to be destructed and despaired I go to Barber to acknowledge, as human, better is forever possible, for of the god spark, yet unextinguished I go to Barber because there is no plane as fast as his slow adagio, to transport me to the who I am and should yet be*

it's just the creature that goes bump in the night when the lights go out, so please reconstruct my mind to create a type of innovated frankenstein. it's not just about the longing and the crave for change but it's also about the emotions and fingerprints i'll supply for your testing range. so don't worry smoke another bowl and it's like your whole life will unfold. but you won't even need that thc to realize your thoughts aren't completely free. so let the dopamine soak in until you become the fiend pop your benzos and snort that line, parachute that powder until you reach cloud nine. is that what you need to survive your recreated scene? at least before your whole body morphs into benzene. what is it about becoming a monster, is it you who creates the tragedy or is it your creator? i wish you could tell me where we go when we die, but you can't open up your subliminal mind. now you're nothing but a sweet smelling liquid, so drip your thoughts onto my own canvas and lay it out for me.
