"reflector" poems
From everywhere, gathers everyone To join in the Song of Life - Singing the Melody of Form And remembering the time this world was born Sing, sing, sing Time flies on the wing Of the song that we sing It's you and I and everything All together in a melody, We're nothing but notes - Just a lead up to the Chorus of Stars How far, How far - well, Here we are Singing in the Chorus of Stars Pisces to Aquarius The grand illusion of time, Galaxies alligning Like dominoes Human bodies burning with love From the head down to the toes Inner light reflecting the reflector - The sun, Our home star

Pisces To Aquarius
she liked the color yellow because it calmed her its brightness soothed her soul and the sight of a yellow flower always brought her joy it illuminated her dark days and stormy weather it always seemed to try so hard to be happy A quality she could relate to but one day, she met a boy who liked orange a color she always said she hated its hue too close to yellow but too different to be enjoyed she never wore the color orange felt as if it drew attention to her when she was content enough to be invisible in the corner of the room her favorite color was yellow and his was orange but she never liked that color with its harshness and severity it reminded her of traffic cones and reflector vests of emergencies and warning signs But one day, she realized he reminded her of the color yellow he soothed her soul illuminated her dark days and calmed her storms he never seemed to try too hard but always managed to make her smile she realized yellow and orange weren't that different after all and when the two hues came together her, perpetually the color yellow him, forever orange she felt like the only girl in the room the colors yellow and orange started to bleed together and orange came to remind her of fallen leaves and clear sunsets of butterflies and sprinkled zest and in time as she grew to love him the color orange started to become just as beautiful as yellow

The stars once more have lost their race Through night-sky versus mercurial moon. In this defeat no dishonor will debase Futile efforts to intersect upon the lune. Desert scents of juniper and Mormon Tea Waft fragrant above the comfort fire smoke. Banana yucca roasting at my knee, Fleshy fruit consumption for us hungry folk. Nevada nights nip raw this time of year; Our lot is cast by glowing embers, Whose reflector stones essential to survival, Stave off cold that we need not fear Frostbite to peripheral members, Till sunlight returns with warmth's revival.

Mohave Comfort Fire
Where is death today? Busily hiding the bodies, Or hunched beside a car loosening wheel bolts, Placing a dark hand over a traffic light, Squeezing the shotgun trigger, Or strapped in a wheelchair Disguised as a patient and wheeling rapidly around the hospital wards, Removing the soap. Or maybe cycling down the motorway The large black cloak neatly bundled into the waistband Right trouser leg tucked into a black sock A bone poking out the toe The Reaper strapped to the bicycle crossbar Blade hanging to the rear   But not obscuring the red reflector Wearing Kevlar gloves when handling the scythe And Vis a Vest neatly tied with a bow At the very least a reflective armband. Or possibly fixing a puncture on his way to my home...Bad form then On arrival should I greet with “Come in, you look perished! ” Discuss the weather as a distraction I could offer new socks Like every interview this might not go well.

Locating Death
Take my hand - you've got to feel fun time's heading closer Futuristic daydreams are at hand -handy! microchipped wild boys and girls on rent - hardly paid off - dance! Roll the dice! Flicker eyes! Adrift on the dimlit flourescent effervescent reflector rays°°°°you're never lost or at loss; Coloured circles glide across the dancefloor______ bouncy boots swoon, high heels crack, remastered barefoot Tribe~ Enjoys momentary revelations! Latino lovers attracting honey dew magnetic more-s rain coats off - smiley coasts shine on~ those cunning shenanigan freckles pressed redhair beauties against needy torsos in ecco-leather jackets   electrified silhouettes stunning like elves un-fading beauty   transforming tuxedos of a tight night; a jingle of Prague crystals into one dancing wave submerged by the vicinity of hissing tongues   -been- beaten by fierce kissing in a stronghold ballroom frenzy - polarized beatings - hi-s and bye-s ; a stroboscopic syncopation ecstatic hips,   space shuttle trips

Let us Boost "The Ballroom"
The wheel spun, as the creaking Of old rusted joints moved Upon A Tattered Frame, Its was with in the spinning The voices sang The wheel shall spin" "Fates hand shall tell" "For will the wheel move" "Silent" "Or" "Sights bell" I awoke startled, hearing the Wheels turn, old spokes Sounding with each rotation, I looked upon the old bike A ringing in my ears, No wheels to move, "Just an empty shell" What made the noises "I touch my head" I feel blood, like tears falls to the ground I am conscious and the spokes Upon a crumpled wheel, "Each spoke still spinning" By the movement of the car wheel, Each one takes Hair Skull Brain, My mind trying to shield me From my fate, but the bell on the Handlebar, Bing "BIng" "BING" Awoke me to my fate, a broken Reflector shows what closed eyes Did cloak, from me to see, I scream, A Maddening Scream, As I lie crumpled a broken shell, And this mirror A front row image Of my death in slow motion, The wheel turns I hear the bell, And with the final chime The wheel turns but there is no one home, To hear the bells ring and the wheel carries on..

I Want To Ride My Bicycle
After a lot to negotiate toing and froing you exchanged your teeny heart for my bag of 18-something stones I carried it home in a hurry much lighter than I expected for what looked like a big cherry it was shaking when I checked it I worried at its odd little quivering a bit timid and nervy like a leaf blown from its tree but happy to have a new owner in me I nestled it carefully in my mother's best white sheets but was scared to see it start to bleed quite a bit not that it might die but about what my mother would say about the red in the laundry and what she might tell her mother if she got it back needing a doctor I decided to pat it with a towel to keep it dry no even better shower it each day keep it a bit moist sprinkle it with Eau de Toilette every morning blow it a kiss like having a sweet pet to greet after I shave I wanted to rub my hands with glee but it needed treating with kid gloves and exercised in carefree handling but first I had to squeeze it not hard in case it burst just in the middle bit around its plumped up waist it felt soft and squidgy and beat quite quickly not like my stones I wrapped it up in a cooler using styrofoam aluminium foil and a brown paper bag... Styrofoam is a good insulator and will keep the love from oozing out the aluminium foil is a heat reflector and the paper bag I am not sure about but grocery stores offer them to put your ice cream in so it doesn't melt as fast I had a meal of cheese on toast then returned to check my box your heart was not there to be seen isolated in polystyrene O dear I wished I'd cut a window giving it room to see it grow but then I spied you in the garden painting stones to a wondrous glow so lovely I traded back my carton and your heart lit up inside for me

bone traitor. Skin viper Edge Stealer Ridge maker Health reflector. Mirror- you liar! Rogue on the scale... Signs that my brain has duped me; Floating oily in the Basin Phantom aches Blood test lies Powdery remedies pressed almond abandon all cows Bean curd body snatching **** the doctor to get a clue Girl in pain this isn't me so- Who the hell are you?

Cell phone shield in hand, the mirror-me peers into a shoddy, cracked up dream reflector-slash-protector as I make amends with my agitated mitochondria and attempt to drill miniscule holes into paper dolls without ripping them. So screams the wall hanging! Banshees dance, falling into cyclical romances as cream colored microphones peek out around one-way windows wondering whether or not the smiles will hold. Eyes still, eyes wrinkles crinkling, spit spray sprinkling. Connect to the dreamers. Push your plug into my cracking wall sockets, pull me apart at the seams. So cries the doorstopper! Knees bleed from street corner séances and eyes green grass that's afraid to ask where its clover went but heavens, it's bent for hell. Pray tell me, burping chickadee, when did your teeth glass over with a film of cerulean and your bones start sailing through tepid reminders that you may end this life a failure, swallowing Uncle Ben's rice packet trash at the dark black bottom of the Pacific? So sighs the statue! Broken walkie talkies feed red back to nothing and knick knack hoarders note the familiar festering of deadly bacteria in the lungs and on the tippy top of the tongue. Space cadets rocket through concrete jungles containing apartment after apartment after apartment filled with mannequins filled with sand filled with unevenly severed hands. So speaks the ornament! So declares the dashboard decal! Sensual scholarly seekers seem so totally hip and read feminist poetry to dispel the myths and spit on the irony. I won't dare to flatter you with the focused attention of stone or allow the personable picture frame to make the secrets of the microscopic universe known. So suggests the ship siren! So recites the repository! Empty yourself into me, adopt a new philosophy, abandon in within two weeks so I can see and you can seep, your fluttering robin heart to keep and glaciers to arrive upon a salty brown eternal sleep. Deliver me to the melting shopping mall! The centennial fire alarm goes off at the tip of the cliff, at the end of the hall.

it had better be the best of me want to go out kickin’ & screamin’ with words that rip those ***** bandages holding us together, rip’em with more than the merest passing ounce of a simplistic ouch poetry, a sun reflector of the daily of living, you’re up, then floor crawling, not for the first time, and most likely, you never saw the sucker- sunburn-(pow)-punch hitting you from behind the muddling of memories, them, that can weep and sweep you into comfort, sustained, by the knowing at that exact moment, I, gave you the best of me no joke; yeah I’m young(ish), partied hard, fell hard-in love. only to be busted opened up, like too many else…nothing there to write home about, but to write a poem that survives in someone else’s heart, that would be miraculous, as grand as the grand things and truly great people I know, but hello, poets, this promise, for real but David Foster, et.al, said all this better, and so melodiously ~~~ “And I think I've gone this far Because of you Could be no other love but ours Will do No one will ever touch me more And I only hope that in return No matter how much we have to learn I saved the best of me for you”

Hello Poets, If This, My Last Poem Be, Perhaps,
I leaned in towards her, mimicking the curve in her back and the squint in her eyes. I rested my chin in my hands, completing the final touches to creating a mirror between us. A mirror. I smiled to question which one of us was the reflection and which was the reflector. Or, perhaps, we are inertly tied together at the wrist. The definition of reflecting written in my scars, hidden beneath my cardigan.  I smiled, and she smiled back, no longer questioning me, no longer doubting any part of my sincerity. I leaned back, and she followed me, relaxing into her new role. I knew that I had her now, that I had all the power. With this, I formed promising words on my lips. Caressed careful tears down my cheeks while her head nodded and her hand jotted. I weaved the world I lived in, colored it red and black, or blue and pink. I brought her to the edge of the cliff side, and nudged her in, to be ****** under the carpet of waves and disappear in the waters and the wild. But, I brought her back up, nestled her in my arms and drifted back to Earth and to the warmth of the desert. I braided her hair and fixed her mind to the glorious battlefields of my youth, the stunning victories and the ****** defeats. I was the hero. A shining beacon of light in the dismal landscape. I could tell be the way her lip quivered at the end of my story that I had won. Like wrinkled silk clinging to a bedpost, she hung onto every word I said and gazed in awe at the girl who overcame all odds. Victory was mine indeed. But I take no prisoners. Carrying her scalp, I left her screaming body in the office, next to the box of tissues and the thrift-store couch, which was still warm from where I had sat. And I went on to the next therapist, a new story already brewing in my mind.

In the musical magnificence, Bright-blue reflector movements cover the melting color of the sky. Darkness forms a space of eating- No silence, yet. White lyrics root in our soul spaces allowing the vascular happiness to ‘hold on’ the feelings as being in chains, as well as in the rhythm of time- No sadness. The feelings swell, and branch in the flowing sounds. They embellish the souls. While sparkling, the sounds spring out from the feelings into the sereneness- No falling down. The souls reach their state of grace at the ‘human touch’. White words mean his seducing voice. The voice makes angles, dances the spring of minds, and feeds the ‘soul time’. The grace dwells ‘ out of the blue’ as being the first scream of the earth. The ‘human touch ‘ ‘feels like forever’ the seducing voice- No emptiness. The angles change at the ‘edge of a dream’. The inside of hearing blows bluely the words. The dream is born into a new, decomposable silence due to the saxophone compositions. This silence is a canvas for a red art of nakedness- No other angle. From a forgotten corner, the 'moon dew' comes To get applause. No other Joe Cocker.

Joe's Music
What to buy, Who to be This is a harmless harmony First comes love, then comes trust; A defenseless memory in the dust And what could I, so ever in motion, could contribute to this ocean that I call Earth and you call Here -- my eyes are a farmhouse portrait, far and near. With and without, give my E! take Sometimes I feel like this hunger is my and your mistake. Withering windows give view to past, give mention to something through alliterative glass. What could it be, When could it throw my life and your life in a redundant television show, where the laughter is canned, the love staged, the buying and dying of products we have caged ourselves in, in bulk, ourselves in a religion of none. Time to blister with imagery, A delicate, bouncing light traveling across a sea, moving towards me, moving towards you, across the darkly shimmer of a reflector blue, and the denim drugs and t-shirt *** the Fat Elvis rock in your lap, Nationalistic paranoia: the red, white, and blue on your hat, fading, fading among the shards of air, warm and vibrant, Terror-Freedom clarity spittle-lip cat bath, and my laces around the neck of the sound that skips lids and rids of hipster brains and howling barks from trees and boys with new noise, killer and robust in the teenage, young adult, serial defenseless dust.

Poem Querido amigo, Te quiero decir Que eres patetico, que estás ahí sentado Que sueñas cambiarlo. Te confieso que ya hace tiempo la noche no brilla, las luciérnagas Se han vuelto colillas. Te lo digo de frente, al reflector que alumbra tu mente, brilla un poco, reconócete un poco. Se que odias ser el centro de atención, te saca de comfort, se que el chisme te da asco oírlo y nauseas decirlo. ¿La quieres? ¡Vamos en serio! solo dilo, déjalo ir y sino ¿lo pierdes? o es que nunca fue tuyo. ¿Te quiere? probable, pero no le ruegues. Querido amigo te escribo, para que no te ahogues en tu laberinto de misterio, para que no seas duro con tus errores, para que seas aceite y no sarro. Atte. El saltamontes en tu oído. PD: léelo cuando te sientas perdido...

Letter
One flick of the match And you lit up To destroy the evenness Of her functioning Burning on one end Glowing ember Self destructing yourself As well as her minutes She quickly exhales You slither through The veins and her lungs Clasping her blood Her eyes being the reflector of the sins Everyday those twenty bucks Distributed in innumerable spaces For preparation of Her funeral For the ashes in the vase.

Queen... Have you learned the importance of the word SELF? Realizing that once you love you... You don't need nobody else. The mirror is more than a mirror.. It's reflector of power and to whom it is delivered.. I love you.. But if you don't love you.. How can I ever hug you.. If you never embrace yourself. How do you ever expect to replace you with anyone else. Every morning a different battle. Everday the same horse with a different saddle. In a boat of self pity it gets hard to paddle... I love the love that you love yourself with... I understand that a man can't really give you **** But you'll take it anyway.. Never needed the mirror you could break it any day... But I see you Queen.. I truly, truly do.. So just go to the mirror grab yourself.. And pull yourself through.. Love YourSELF...

Love YourSELF
One Cool summers day, the Snuggly-Buggly, Was approached by a creature, hulking and ugly, A terrible creature, so huge and scary, And the palms of its hands were surprisingly hairy, It boomed with a voice, so loud and so deep, That the floor would shake and frighten the sheep, But no fear existed in the Snuggle-Bugs protector, For he had an object called the ****** reflector" He showed it to the creature, this round piece of glass, The creature responded with the mightiest of gasps, It turned tail and ran, at the sight of its face, It stumbled and tripped as it ran with no grace, You see the Snuggly-Buggly is one of a kind, As it beat this huge creature, using only its mind, Now the Snuggle-Bug is free from fear and despair, Cos the Snuggly-Buggly will always be there.

The Snuggly-Buggly
i loved you like i loved mirrors. a little fearfully, but curiously and then all at once, seeing myself reflected in your eyes and realizing this is who i am. and i loved it. i loved you like i loved mirrors. you broke me like i broke that mirror. tentatively, not wanting bad luck but needing to, needing to break away. glass breaks beautifully, brokenly but dangerously. i watched as the fist crushed into the mirror into my heart and knew that i while i was the reflector, you did not feel this pain. you broke me like i broke that mirror. i am afraid of you. i am sorry. but i am. i am like a dog that way. you hurt me once i never forget. i stay wary. even if it was unintentional i will never love the same. i will love beautifully, brokenly i will never love the same.

I'm losing every bit of courage You left me with a rage How do you expect the pain to submerge I'm neither a saint nor sage. You were my north star Shining through the thick You were my herb tar Curing me, when I'm sick I've been patient all along I've endured the pain life long My story is the saddest song Sung with the beat of thorns on thong. My dreams are deception What happened to me seems abdication With untidy water, is my ablution I'm a soul now self neglecting, performing self reflection. Neither a saint Nor a sage Just a soul patient All his age A reflector, with pain as wage Thrown after use,like a bandage. Neither a saint nor sage. Decades of pain as age. Purified by the tears The wanderings alone throughout years I'm a mountain of wisdom Awaiting to be known I'm neither a saint nor sage But a dervish unknown.

July 30, 2011 at 6:25pm There ya go   slowly  starting to fade in the concaves the beam wanes electro-magnetic waves radiate straight through the skin and to the veins bleeding my own scarlet rays Disguised as..... an Indian eye on my forehead vines down into a lava sizzling bone tissue Frying every fiber.........atom.......... and molecule that piece me together even still you scintillate in an array of glistening grains stirring in my bloodstream static tension aching flesh I Rotated the beam and became a reflector scorching your innards in excruciating ways

you felt like a new texture, a fabric i'd never slipped through before, but darling, you and i are merely old habits gussied up in tulle and a paper mache artifice - ghoul masquerading as prima ballerina fouette for me baby, twirl me dizzier than a whirling dervish and flounce me on my head to spin out over this choreographed failure. i've shoveled so much chocolate in my mouth-hole this weekend i think i'm rotting from the inside out, made of only sugar blisters and quicksand sores that are bursting new caverns to life crafting a base relief depiction of my longing into my throat, how deliciously destructive! i'm loony-eyed swooning over this 90-watt moon replica and these reflector paint stars! oh, i think i'll trade the entire night sky for this masterpiece and a macrame bandage for my chest, much more utilitarian than the atmosphere i drown in these days. my reckless howling and witchcrafting whimsy have loosed my lungs from their cage, wheezing out an incantation into the far-reaching wind, Everest is ablaze under my spell sobbing it's ice into the earth and melting it's bones to ash in my palms. some men just want to watch the world burn, i, however, merely want to reconstruct it from the bottom, up shoveling all of its innards to the surface and making the unseen known.

the state of my union.
"No matter where you live you should be able to turn on the tap and drink safe water" - David Boyd Every day I grow The importance of the preservation of our enviroment becomes more and more predominant. To grow up drinking from discovered gurgling creeks, To feel the cool purity revitalize my young soul, To bask in the clean beauty of our waters, I took for granted its safety. To grow up with the river as my guide, my mentor, my reflector for my inner growth I learned to listen to the way it laughed and danced And polished unassuming river stones as it told me of past stories and taught me humility. All this time I took for granted its safety. It is only now As my cacoon of security begins to crack do I realize This is not every humans relationship to our waters. Only now do I realize I am blessed to be able to drink from discovered streams, let alone my tap without a second thought Only now do I realize Millions of parched souls have grown with water as an enemy Wary of the pollutants it carries. It is treated with caution Whereas it was once revered. Water, as a definition is "the basis of the fluids of living organisms" We are essentially poisening ourselves as well as our earth with our actions. It is time to shift as a country, as a nation To protect our enviroment to protect our waters and to protect humanity its self The right to a healthy enviroment Is the right to live.

Blue Dot Movement
Hexaedros de madera y de vidrio apenas más grandes que una caja de zapatos. En ellos caben la noche y sus lámparas. Monumentos a cada momento hechos con los desechos de cada momento: jaulas de infinito. Canicas, botones, dedales, dados, alfileres, timbres, cuentas de vidrio: cuentos del tiempo. Memoria teje y destejo los ecos: en las cuatro esquinas de la caja juegan al aleleví damas sin sombra. El fuego enterrado en el espejo, el agua dormida en el ágata: solos de Jenny Lind y Jenny Colon. "Hay que hacer un cuadro", dijo Degas, "como se comete un crimen". Pero tú construiste cajas donde las cosas se aligeran de sus nombres. Slot machine de visiones, vaso de encuentro de las reminiscencias, hotel de grillos y de constelaciones. Fragmentos mínimos, incoherentes: al revés de la Historia, creadora de ruinas, tú hiciste con tus ruinas creaciones. Teatro de los espíritus: los objetos juegan al aro con las leyes de la identidad. Grand Hotel Couronne: en una redoma el tres de tréboles y, toda ojos, Almendrita en los jardines de un reflejo. Un peine es un harpa pulsada por la mirada de una niña muda de nacimiento. El reflector del ojo mental disipa et espectáculo: dios solitario sobre un mundo extinto. Las apariciones son patentes. Sus cuerpos pesan menos que la luz. Duran lo que dura esta frase. Joseph Cornell: en et interior de tus cajas mis palabras se volvieron visibles un instante.

Meet me down by the old creek bed The scary rotting ligneous bridge Rusted metal and wood warping Dropping a man into the muddy bottom A clothespin and a playing card A cereal box robot reflector Dusty road that’s gravel sharp Bled my knees and bent my bicycle wheel I swung on the old vine tree Playing out my Neverland fantasies One lost boy no fairies in sight No mermaid kisses or decent Pirate fights White wooden saw horse Played Battlecat to my He-man A cracked wooden board on A frayed twisting rope Peppered grey house with old trimming This is where I found my beginnings Old man dead now the woman’s gone to Pretty soon I’ll forget all I knew Two miles down there’s a dead man’s farm Row after row of white tombstone Faded glittering grey monuments That is where I will meet my end
