"reinvent" poems
Mythical Bird, show me your secret Hatch forth from your shell Plumage of orange and scarlet Emerge glorious from whence you dwell Fiery Bird, you must reveal Your astounding, magical ways Where from these lives you steal Forever reincarnating well into your days Aflamed Bird, you must teach How you reinvent yourself anew With no help within reach Without aid, effortlessly you flew Majestic Bird, take me in Blanket me with your wing Listen and acknowledge my sins With all your wisdom and heart could bring Magical Bird, will you impart? What knowledge you keep Only then, I may start To make my way out from the deep Enchanted Bird, you have to help I'm desperate to rise like you **** your head and hear my yelps Of all the things I'm trying to undo Celestial Bird, if only you could know Intricate workings of this unfounded fixation Why I seem to always wallow An eternal target of sorrow's attention Imaginary Bird, will you demonstrate Your amazing fantastical flight Dipping, gliding, in the air you gyrate Aggressive dance with gravity you fight Mystical Bird, won't you display For unworthy eyes, would you give? Seemingly easy, aloft you stay Even when you know you'd die before you'd live Wondrous Bird, oh how perfect you are I am in awe, I am swooning How you become one with the stars Making the best of the short time you're living Secretive Bird, is it time? Reducing yourself down to ashes Ready to absolve your stint of crimes Reborn perfect, free from previous gashes Ensorcelled Bird, please don't retreat Back into your familiar cocoon I'm uncertain if again we'd meet Just afraid I might be gone too soon

Back to the scrawling pad a cheap red notebook wide ruled, with the perforated pages in it in case I wanna punch one out easily Those moleskin daze were measly Thinking I'm creative and potent but spending two years to fill those tiny pages Please, help me reinvent the feel and manifest it to real, accomplishment Songs, verse, or vice grip words to change a nation with - to start a new nation with Bokonon Bhikkhu hurling Pikachus down from Mt. Olympus land on the concrete with lemming splat Get the metaphor? I don't. Make your own up I just an absurdest A poor boy humming Queen and writing rap atrocities Nah, the rap "apocalypse" minus all the apostrophes Write so much anything anyone says from now until oblivion was just quoting me!

Sometimes a Cocky Rapper
Sometimes, Even when it's just for an instant, I forget who I am. I forget my name, I forget when I was born, I forget how I look, I forget what year is this. You see, You get to a point in your life Where none of this matter anymore. That old song titled with your name Doesn't seem so pretty as it did before That old poem someone made to you Doesn't make sense anymore. You think "it's just not me, but who am I?" And you roll up in your bed, And you try to mess with someone's head Just to see if you still can. And you spin your world upside down, And you try to look everybody upside down. Sometimes it's even better upside down. Sometimes you find yourself in reverse. And you reinvent yourself, And you change your name, And you change your birthdate, And you change the color of your hair, And you try to change who you are, And not a bit is changed. And then, again, you ask: "Who am I?" And you meet new people, And you fall in love again, And you think you know Who you really are, And then the world is Upside down again. And you give up, And you try to live with yourself in reverse, And you try to fall in love in reverse, And you see how pointless it is, And you're back to normal. And then, what is normal? And you give up on searching for the answers And then you start to live. And you meet someone, Your life is changed. It may be a shrink, It may be a lover, It may be a friend. You just look at 'em And you're home. You find yourself In desperation. You find yourself In happiness. You find yourself Anywhere, anytime. It's just a surprising Little scaring moment. And you realize There is so many interesting things in the universe So many movies to watch, So many music to listen, Maybe some with your name in it, So many dreams to live, So many people to meet, So many whatever to do. And all that search was pointless. You don't have to be who your name tell you to be, You don't have to be what your star sign is telling you to be, So doesn't matter what is your name, Doesn't matter when you were born, Doesn't matter what year is this. You don't have to be someone, You don't even have to be yourself. You just have to be.

red torii gates separate the sacred engraved with kana names I step on the stone tiles reinvent myself by praying to every god I have never believed in donating all the coins I have to shrines the omamori will protect me with pretty ribbons, silk, and wood their birds guide to understanding converting lies into truths before me their paper songs a tender kindness and there is courage within me even as my voice turns to melody my words spill out a tune the temple walls hum a chorus of veracity, louder I have come to realize the importance of moral authenticity within me your gracious decency, divine delicate gentleness with my fragility from shattered pieces I rebuild recollect myself and rise stronger the sakura blossoms melt the tide rises up the torii compelled by a cold moon wooden birds take flight away and I return solid and true

To tell you exactly, specifically, precisely why I love you I'd have to reinvent an alphabet, create a language, learn to sign The feeling that bubbles within when I look into your eyes cannot be captured or explained I feel like the world stops moving My breath struggles leaving my lungs All my fears, worries, washed away What is so powerful about loving you is the way you love me in return I feel confident, unstoppable, beautiful You tell all the dark parts inside to quiet whispering, no shouting to them: I am worthy of love To be worthy is all that I have ever wanted, needed, cried for in the middle of the night Although there is still so much to learn about each other Adventures to be had, moments to share I am giddy with anticipation your love gives me strength Replenishes me Fulfills me I have yet to really write down how I feel about you until now I've been afraid words would take our magic away I'd wake up one morning and realize is was a mere dream You steal my chapstick with your kisses Put up with my sassy abrasive nature You encourage me to work The way you look at me sometimes gives me the courage to begin to look at myself the same way With your arms tightly around me, our legs intertwined, I begin to imagine what heaven could actually be like When I'm with you, I say I love you honestly Eeach time is unique. I realize how incredibly lucky I am to have you to be loved by you every syllable is as sincere as the last You make it okay All the bad, dark, sorrow filled places within me that sometimes consume my light. You accept those places, You make me forget they even exist You make my light shine brighter We joke about my ego but since you have been in my life, I feel okay Even when I'm not, I know I will be. Granted, it's not solely what you do for me but what you let me do for you You allow me to love you Accepting my love welcoming it like you would a long lost friend you do not turn and hide you embrace me with arms open wide It's magical It's what I've waited for my whole life What I spent so much energy convincing myself I could never have It's everything that I'd ever want and more It's love It's life It's you

If I get lost, promise you'd leave me be Let me walk alone in my circles I'll find my way back...almost instinctively Through looping thoughts and scribbles If I should trip, promise you'd let me fall Scrape my knee and scream a voiceless scream Weight of the universe may seem crushing to shoulders so small I'll walk it off and regain newfound steam If I show signs of buckling, promise you'd let me collapse into nothing Let me fold into myself...into an unnoticeable speck There is solace in this space when the walls are caving Soon I would reinvent and renew from that wreck If I suffer a cut, promise you'd just let me bleed Let the black of my soul gush out Within it I would find the seed To which all of my rantings are about If I should begin to write, promise you'd read my scrawls Take them as they are and not to heart Just thoughts versus words that mean much or nothing at all They'd stitch me anew when I start to break apart If I keep losing myself, promise that you'd let me be The circles I tread are very much predictable They'd always lead me around... Don't treat me differently Just stay where you are... I'll come back round, fresh and able...

Circles
Give me some other world to sip at, this one is diluting. This is how we dance A row of tombstones; economics? Market of waste, reinvent me. Aligned, invisible, gothic Encased in amber necklaces Suspended animation I will wait for years. Frozen for renewal. At every chance, the prospect of lightning calms the heart.

Its not a matter of your body or your age the truth doesn't carry weight, but sets the stage for the flow of knowledge: wisdomage. To abandon nothing, but reinvent everything including the wheel of your mind; a complete surrender, absent knowing; Inheriting nothing, reinventing nothing including the dreams that you are; a complete surrender to the way thus far. We cherish the day, met humbly without a care, in side and out a tribe in harmony creating together, sans competition: pacific planets orbiting the Sun.

Age of Enlightenment
With my hands on the back of your neck I see the crackling raising erecting Of your swan skin My thoughts are gasping for breath Going upwards in the Filling shame War and city battles, apartment bullets Motel room fiascos, jigsaw pounding passion With my body cutting you down the center like a diamond I’m breaking you into formlessness Jagged like clean glass I’ll pray to your white scars I’ll reinvent myself Come out of the still lake Cleanse myself in black oil Lips like razor blades, teeth like wet wings Innards on the pillow case, on the Boring walls, on the idols With your hands around my neck, your fingers in my mouth Cheating life out of life Taking it out on one another Bruised peaches bleeding on the ****** scene Dead red balloons left over, molding cake Boot marks on the white rug I want you puritanical, ***** We’re finished We’re glowing Lifted up waiting for the floor.

White Flag Adultery
I know why Vincent Van Gogh Cut off his own ear We are a mad bunch, you see Poets and painters and playwrights On the prowl for something to jump start our perpetual yearnings, our keen senses and cravings, on the quest for so much more than the status quo, of merely checking off just another day from our calendars We are those kinds of people Who wish to reinvent the world Often cursing at our failings and insecurites While obsessively working to shape and sculpt our view of this planet To fit our own brand of imagination To satisfy our starving hopes and desperate dreams To foster vivid visions from the views that are vague   And to wipe away The nightmares of old that cry out in us We believe in make-believe We who are misfits to "normalcy" We rarely seem to fit into The "real world" Yet we know that this world is Pure insanity Stark madness Sheer perplexion Yet we are the ones suffering for the sake of our art Often misunderstood Many times branded as "weirdos" I can understand the pain Of not getting my art right Of not seeing its worth Because someone sniffed at it Or scoffed at it Or blindly passed it by Many times, we want to break through And join the world of our works of art But we can't We're stuck in the middle of its beauty And nothingness Yes I know why Vincent Van Gogh cut off his own ear

Life.
Music can build you up, tear you down, reinvent your future and make you feel so wholeheartedly desperate that you just want to rip your heart out - now, every one interprets music differently- So...after you ripped it from your chest... What did you do, give it away? Or, burn it, so the temptation is gone?

Temptation
It's not the memories that hurt. I seldom find myself lost amongst those painful reveries. No, it's much deeper than that. It's not logical or tangible. It's an inexplicable feeling, Or lack there of. A void. Deeper than conscious thought. It's molecular. As if the atoms that create my existence mourn your presence. Perhaps they grew fond of the way our forms were intertwined. Vibrating in unison to an unheard melody. They moved together in harmony. They united for a time only to be torn apart by shallow egos and petty differences. That's where the perpetual longing originates from. They grieve your absence with an incessant hum that whispers your name throughout my body. Pleading with me to fix this. Sigh. Sounds better than admitting I actually miss the ******* It's not me, I swear, it's my ******* atoms! Do I look like a physicist to you!? I don't know how to reinvent the atom!!

Atoms, Molecules, and losing my mind.
(history) Quell the bard was silken-clad and ever young. her flute connected earth and sky, tamed lightning in the higher notes.. her ancient horse would winnie to her song of endless breath she blew her story even into stone. having borne the stigmas of a ***** her martial prowess struck, trampled disrespect to cacophonic dust while over hills and vales he carried her-- a love-sick equine heart at peace at last upon the road between her thighs, commanded loyalty of beasts and men. none claimed her for their own, though some risked instant death to try ..stirge beaks tap on bones and rock to seek corrupted blood of elven kings, who having reigned and fallen to a royal troglodyte of dragon times, paint each eon with ambivalence... i conjure what my heritage beholds --reclusive double-tongue to hoard all words, reinvent religions for a lark what legend am i privy to the making of that hasn't had its underwires stripped, hung about a square in lewd display of Fact to purge a sense of mystery awry? i am alone within my fantasy. its symbols still mythologize my i. i will not bare it here, or anywhere-- concealment is its freedom, and its boon-- in which a frame of tenuous material appears where antidote addictions cycle musically, the timeline's summoning a game of recompense, compensating wanderlust won by whim and licorice for thought; it finds familiarity untamed-- adolescent anchorage aweigh-- adventures into wildernesses lost .

window *** and wandering. pane 3
My child said today, “You’d be rich if it wasn’t for me” and she then smiled that goofy smile adding, “Why did you have me then? I’m so expensive. ” And when she later shimmied like a long lean cat on a thin fence, I replied, “This is why I had you.” And when she then made up her own word, bestfuzzer, to describe a friend, I said, “This is why I had you.” And as she curled into my belly on the bed nuzzled my neck, and blew holes in my hair, I whispered, “This is why I had you.” She has forced me to reinvent myself to plumb the deep waters of my reserve my sanity, my will to live even and bring up one more shining fish one more favor, one more drive across town one more strange meal at 2 am And in cleaning away the thick of leaves, dirt, and grass from my grandparents’ headstones I become them, their bones my bones Their struggle my struggle How much we could have saved in not having children would nevertheless have impoverished us in other ways. We are driven by dumb unseen forces as ancient as soil to create our children – accident, intent, it doesn’t matter so I pay homage to my grandparents - tired, frightened immigrants barely out of childhood, with the stench of their parents on fire singing their nostrils Why did they persist? What drove my grandmother to marry a man she’d never even met? to bear his children, to suffer his beatings? This is why I had you Because I was lonely *Because I was ***** Because through you I sewed myself back together Because you are my destiny And when my child asks why I had her I breathe milk and honey into her mouth jostle the stars until they ****** like wind chimes pulling the continents back together again. And when she asks me, I can only offer up the scoop of my palms and the ticking of blood in my wrists as reasons.

My minds shut, insides ticking and about to erupt I'm holding in all issues within Wish my stubborn **** would just speak up Nightmares in my cup, rolling on a bad dream Walking alone with reality, my perception of you ain't what it seems Ask "are you a human bein?" Maybe he's still a villian.. Don't hide what you have inside, please...tell me your "true" feelings As my ego remains in intense healing With jokers I continue dealing. Criticism as my decor, with old habits thrown on the floor Clipped wings, so I jumped. Knowing ill plummet and never soar Pushes becomes shoves **** I've lost so much potential love. By the way, I'm still a hopeless overthinker Nothing has changed much. But it has. I no longer feel I'm a spawn of my dad I've grown into my potential I can feel now what I couldn't reach I listen to what people say I no longer care to preach I'm sorry to my uncle, I was lost without respect. I apologize to my family, who never knew what was coming next For my deception, lack of perception I'm sorry to my ex. With many words and few steps I'm giving my all and nothing less It's just so hard to improve your past When people rarely saw your best. With god by my side, I can't lose any fight I will remain humble in my journey I will help guide dark eyes to the light I beg for the world to not quit, continue to doubt but learn to accept me. It's not my family, it's not a woman, it's not my friends...I'm the only person who can reinvent me. **Learning to enjoy life, if you work hard, it's okay to be proud Excuse me for saying so much in a silent room...I was just thinking again...outloud.**

Time for something drastic. Defining life on his own terms. No angels. No demons. No expectations. Just drift. North to South. Walk while the coast heals wounds. The sea breeze renews. Salt in the air acts like a baptism. Sins of the self washed away. North to South. To be alone. To think. To reinvent. Depending on oneself. Food, water, and survival with these two hands. Not needing much more than that. North to South. Not the destination. More the journey. Replenished. From here, sorting life out. North to South.

Try your best to escape and free Your mind is not your identity Your genetics, your family tree Your looking glass eyes can see Through the window an fatefully Change your perception of reality And redefine who you are to be My new persona is in a coma down in Barcelona Now I'm Jonah in love with Mona from Arizona Drinking corona with Fiona in the streets of Verona Creativity is a proclivity that unshackles our identity free Journey with me far from the vast sea of mental captivity Exclusivity of proactivity creates a glorious life of festivity Consent to your dreams to the absolute umpteenth degree Augment your schemes and forget about the no guarantee Reinvent thee extremes, and you will never be a life absentee Remember as you read that we are all connected eternally On this marble together spinning we are all just guests Wandering around trying to solve our personal quests Humans being we happened to be, but only temporarily May as well attempt and squeeze life to death and manifest All your aspirations and ambitions should be put to the test All so blessed with a mind, and a beating heart in our chest So why not invest the rest of our time to aspire to be the best

I Dented Thee
Memories of the North Sea sift in like sand kernels on a fast, frigid tide: events that transpired outside the confines of rhyme, unfolding exactly as they were meant to. Never before had I seen so many shades of gray; the overcast, monochromatic splendor was awe-inspiring, instead of being bleak and bleary. ___ The smell of salt and seaweed awakes something dormant and eternal, deep within me. I have a surging desire to flush stagnancy from my blood— salty blood and water come together in a communion of distant relations and movements. Beside me, a flash of bright red digs in the sand; my child is wearing the only vibrant colour to be seen for many kilometres. The colour matches her enthusiasm and energy, as she moves from one spot to the next like a dancing flame; reflected, a fire glows from my eyes. Unknowingly, I had dressed in the same colours of the sky and sea, blending into the scenery like a chameleon: an illusion thicker than the clouds; an illusion of stone for me to melt and reinvent at the spinning speed of thought. I watch my daughter drink the seascape with a smile of wonder; it's her first time visiting an ocean. With our pants rolled up to the knee, we wade through waves, and collect stones and shells. She knows the chameleon who walks alongside her in the frothy surf. Observing seabirds cover the steep cliffs of the island located further out, in a blanket of black and white feathers, I wonder if people onshore only see a solitary dash of red out here, or if the chameleon is more noticeable than I had thought. 2012 North Sea Remix December 17th, 2012

And when you feel I’m slipping lightyears away i will remind you how my world still revolves around you. i will brush out your dark holes with constellation kisses as we lay counting stars. And when you feel lonely i will traverse galaxies to be by your side as i share the secrets of my universe with yours. i will hold you closer than my gravity will permit me and I will crush all the space debris that dare look your way fragment by fragment as I heal your craters with moondust. in the darkness of your eclipses, I will wait in the shadows to watch You rise again. We will waltz under meteor showers and wish upon shooting stars as we dwarf Jupiter With our amorous infinitudes. when you feel vacuum within you I will carve you a supernova heart giftwrapped in spaceflowers To fill the void. I'll love you to Eris and back As you reinvent a Big Bang for me Where I started with nothing and suddenly have everything.

Give me your mind and talk to me let us talk my talk let us walk my walk Beware because I am not a gold miner or even a coal miner but a mind miner, extracting your self-product lying deep within your deep and dark hidden caverns I will dig out your most hidden psyche I will dig out your most deep inner world by my grinding words Your inner product will be on a talking conveyer belt, washed polished and dried to perfection I will then reinvent your freshly dug up social product and inspect for flaws If all passes my inspection, that reflects myself, the stamp will declare, approved by the Good Mind Keepers of "Herd Mentality".

Mining Your Mind
I might leave my thoughts and reinvent myself. Does desperation or envy get you killed faster? Going back 200 years ago, it would've been depravity If you re fortunate enough to have your basic needs met, you can indulge in diving deeper than thoughts, deeper than body and mind, further down the loophole until you reach your soul, primal and emotional state of living.
