"remiss" poems
Wings a flitter Iridescent feathers a glitter Hovering briefly at a flower top Usually not long enough to truly stop This precious one of avian design I  see delicately perched upon a twisted vine The sun glinting off the ruby throat Making it easy for on this one to dote Although this perch may be brief It does bear out my belief That the light of her essence Has me blessed in her presence Medicine, absent of strife Filled with the nectar of life Life that bears the scars of complexity Yet revels in the miracle of synchronicity Placed on my path with divine intention I would be remiss to discount this intervention And yet fail to mention... A renewal of mon couer and the magic of living For this is the medicine that hummingbird is giving And for me it is so easy to see She is Nenookaasi

Hummingbird
Seasons pass, tempered by insalubrious fervor; treasonous design remiss of fate An echo of prior songs resonate somber atrophy; mourn the passing of  constant defeat, stained by triumphant dissonance and disdain Fear strides along the broken path, left alone and solemn and crass: Through sour feats of vindication, tones of plight become dismissed Surfeit, the sound of temptation rides upon the crest of dawn, blinding darkness like calming waves caressing infinite stretches of sand: soft and warm; kind and welcoming, embracing in its gentle touch Sentience hides behind a creeping fog, whispering secrets of life eternal, bearing gifts wrought through sensuous candor Two threads lost, now found; slowly bonding, uniting purpose, rhythm, rhyme, and reason; born from the same cloth, garnering habit, singing in harmony what echoes from within Beautiful, intelligent, staunch with profundity; stark, handsome, wholesome, and good The call of a true home may finally beckon..

I reminisce on this: A time more filled with bliss. When school is out, And the children shout. Our minds now worry-free, We fill our hearts with glee. I reminisce on this. I reminisce on this: A time that I do miss. You can call it summer vacation, When with no education, We go to visit family And maybe to travel oversea I reminisce on this. I reminisce on this: A time of such remiss. We forget responsibility, And remember the ability To go out, and have some fun, But now, with it all done, I reminisce on this.

I Reminisce on This
The solitude of when two hands meet garners thoughts of warmth and want for needs unspoken I miss the days when simplicity was as common as the delicate exhale shared when two lips release from one a other To gaze through sultry windows of the soul, soft yet weary with fervent witness, beckons notions of wanderlust to a place that shines brighter than any I've ever seen I watch, bound by valor for not seeking more through presumptuous ineptitude; bewildered by the plight you've been mired by, I wince at the thought of harm coming to you Your trust exudes a powerful purpose; wrought from the ashes of all that have claimed to impose before, I succumb to the surfeit of such a staggering meaning in that gift I hold myself in bated breath for the day you would ever need my heart for your own, but stay guided to be here in spirit, ever more Although my basic wishes be forlorn, in somber muse I find great purpose to be a part of this grand fate bestowed upon me You are all I've ever sought; and through disbelief, I am remiss of all that's mired me before If only, one day, perhaps we could be more..

Look up and breathe it all in The sky is crying, exploding with a torrential waterfall. Inhale natures’ showering an unblemished symphony The black cloud’s unavowed weight lingers invigoratingly overhead Emotions ebb and flow with the moment’s immanent spirit of light; there is a liberating sensation that excites anticipation of the sky’s impending purposefully fated  release ... Heavens… flood down holy water in a drenching act of baptism a merciful drowning in a river of celestial tears Dowsing rains wash over in a cleansing rain Refresh the dust and ashes the fallow summer leavings What once was a blossoming presence, evolving into a dimming   cold winter reign... Now all that remains is but a shadow of what once was; hearts and bones nearly eroded away by the years of fallen tears To rinse away unrequited love’s stagnant inversion, washing away the invisible bonds that bind to the loathsome heavy ball of an unforgiving chain ... Know the cleansing rain is the spirit of love, washing over a malnourished heart of soul; exposed and bared naked to a remiss world Looking out with thoughtful eyes into the boundless universe Never to stop believing rejuvenating dreams course beyond this long road Imagine the storm clouds parting in the ominous threatening sky as an uplifting awakening light comes shining through; renewing the promise that surrendering to love shall renew purpose and it feels like rain... baby can you feel it (?)

Bride to Be: Oh how could he do this to me? I trusted him undoubtedly! Now I lie upon the grass Hoping one day a man will pass, And steal my heart from my chest. So I can escape this god awful mess Fiance: My heart is trapped inside, A woman of a common kind. Continually forced to pay the fee, Of dealing with those bound to flee. I swear I could give her all she needs, the complete effect of fantasy. But I would be remiss. In not mentioning her recent fear to kiss.   Bride to Be: I am a wallowing bride to be Wallowing in misery A month ago surrounded in bliss Until he had to take that risk All because he heard a scream, Trailing from a crimson stream. Fiance: My face is cut and torn to shreds, And now my love won't be wed. I only did what I thought was best. Yet I was surely led to loneliness. I heard a scream from down the street, And so I immediately took to my feet. Saw the face of a woman scorned, And a man who saw fit to leave me adorned

Not titled this...
It's still not ok, but then again, when has it ever been... There's nothing but grey skies I can just about glimpse them through the door As much as I tried I still find it hard Sitting on the lowest stair Watching through the screen door A simple comfort, it always is Watching as the first few drops fall from the sheets of clouds Creating channels across the dirt on the glass Bright, despite everything Bright against the pale white paint Its good to not have to think It can get overwhelming And I'll admit to one thing As much as I'm remiss to static opinion Catching just a glimpse or two of A passing black bird or Something... Just to remind me

Pearls sent slipping from the string & in that moment they sing like raindrops. Monsoon pours red lust across my bed. He provokes the thunder instead with a dance of lips & fingertips. Pearls ripped from the marble hollow of intrepid breast, at my taunting behest. They clatter to the floor like my last shrouds of innocence. His heavy touch does breathe sweet incense through the thick air of this precipitous night, dark with wild unknown. He comes to seek refuge in this storm, & implores me to soak him to the bone. Pearls tumble like sea foam across the angles of my alabaster collar. Crash to the floor like a wave to a beach. Pearls, & tangled limbs & biting kisses dive into delirious bliss & sweet remiss. My ivory blushes with peach blossoms opening to welcome his reach, as we amble through a valley of pearls & silken sheets.

Pearls
She was radiant- she still is. She drew me in and captured me through surmise amiss. Her intention not to seize me but through her remiss; I found a graceful figure. My madness said I loved her as I descended to abyss.

A Beauty Like No Other
Lines of life through gene transmission When handed down through ***** Tho’ rugged, sound or sickly matched, Are caste about like coins. Luck ensures a robust chance Of longevity and health With intelligence or dolt hood As a final gauge to wealth. Traits of blue eyed, fair haired lovelies Brown eyed, freckled, long of limb, Temperaments across the spectrum Placid fat to fiery slim. Aptitude to run the long race Good endurance, depth of heart, Lady luck decrees their worth Tho' the Priesthood may depart. Frontal lobes of clear retention Heightened rationale of thought, Reasons through the problematic, Resolutions made as ought. Capacity to empathise In tears of joy and sorrow spent, Capacity for true belief When wrong is righted with repent. Goodness and black evil Are caste about like chaff, Depends upon the show of cards Who laughs the final laugh. Conscience can be virtuous But then, so can be greed, Depends upon the circumstance And if approached at speed. And finally indulgence Plays a massive hand in this, For love and lust determine If a union is remiss. And should that union founder, Should Lady Luck throw in her hand ...You can blame it on the chromosomes Which confounds the Makers stand! Marshalg @theBach Mangere Bridge 14 June 2011

March of the Chromosomes.
I don't have pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I'll stay away from Yellowstone. If one's asthmatic in the Eifel region You don't pronounce the "P." This won't **** me. I don't have COPD. Everyone coughs in blue smoke. My throaty itch won't **** me. I won't constrict and choke. I don't have an infectious disease, Despite my personality. I run for shelter in acid rain. I drink water with ice cubes, And spray my green out back. As much as I hate to, I avoid rusty nails. *** is safe... and at a distance. Despite being repeatedly told to, I never eat **** The great imitator Is a snivelling mime. If I'm bitten, I recognize the marks. The erupting of the ring of fire won't **** me, but perhaps I was precocious To drop the "P" in Pneumonoultramicroscopicscilicovolcanoconiosis. I haven't succumb to animal flues, I stay clear from the bars. I donate to the SPCA, Bet on ponies or the odds of SARS. I don't have meningitis. I like lights and loud music. If I get the night sweats, I turn down my electric blanket. I haven't the minor or greater pox, I spurn comparisons. According to the scoop and scope, I ascend and descent C free. But the time spent on Referrals Might be the death of me. I don't have botulism. My smile still concaves down. Curling convex above it, A condescending frown. I'm not a ***** I feel every poke and like. My digits number twenty... Twenty one. My glasses are smudge free. If anything I see too well. Alcoholism can't **** me. Alcohol can. I haven't cardio entropy, But I'd be remiss To dismiss The wise counsel Oz gave me: "Hearts can never be made practical until they can be made unbreakable." So true. So true! Anyway, none of the above will get me. But, I do have what you have. The young and grown. The able and ill. A hand. A sweeping hand. A second hand Setting those infectious nonogerms Like diamonds In my Time-x.

Them bastardized youths fell outside, dizzied by a reality unsolved. Their maws scowled judgment and drooled Pabst down improbable bodies each of them lay in the stink of subtle conformity.   Fiercely unique culture beasts starved away in suburbs; Wikidrifting, those drugged litterbugs scampered. Dropout fish fast against the current of their time, tired from dancing through desperate crowded nights and disparate lonely dawns, dangling degrees and the specters of success burning incessant their pride. They were the ******** made so over time contracted by blind parents to nine-to-blithes in which quiet desperation, credit nooses, and irony were the small print. They were carpenters afraid of their hands.  With chisel to headstone, they lied on the hoods of used Japanese cars, panning the radio for a real connection and gazing up at vanishing constellations.   They were their poison and they their elixir, but a cold cigarette was a much quicker fixer of Helplessness Blues and the back of a Bible where a brief intellectual wrote “I am suicidal.” For how does the turn of the epigram read to those who care less with every new beat of a drummed-up society so high off its piety that seeing stars vanish is simply a shame?   Those ******** dropouts tragically remiss, those Supertramps, Kerouacs, Cohens, and wits. They were the alternative, urbanite fools that littered alleys with Greek fables and Tibetan tattoos.   Criterion flash cards and the literary canon allowed them to flirt with god in verse and art clues until Pollock’s canvas did rip off their eyelids which left them to know only Socrates knew. They danced and they writhed, then ****** to pass time, and kept on their passions till lost were their minds.  Then they all died, those blasphemous ******** But at least they washed on the back of their crimes. At least they danced. At least they were. And there may be something to movement in chaos.

Remember when we used to play outside until the sun went down Remember when we used to laugh run and have no cares or worries Remember how much brighter the sun was and colors radiant Remember what it felt like to fly with the birds and swim in the sea Remember how we were once young and fierce and free? Now the world seems a little colder a little darker than before Now it seems that little by little, life has somehow passed us by We no longer know what it feels like to soar what it means to be alive Full of concern we worry and fret we begin to forget What things were like before we grew up. Eyes so full of wonder filled with a sense of awe capturing each moment Ears that take in every word every sound Heart so filled with love and hope and more than big enough for all Head full of hopes and dreams imagination and inspiration Have a light and happy heart and never forget to bring your smile There are many things we may end up teaching our kids one day Important things to be sure But our kids teach us and remind us where our focus should lie Though we may not feel it sometimes they keep us young I would be remiss If I forgot to mention the wisdom of a child is not a thing to dismiss They look up to you and for better or for worse they are constantly watching “I want to be a man like you” or “I want to marry a man just like daddy” No sweeter words could a father hear, a greater gift no parent could ask for Let us live our lives with balance: equal measures of youth and maturity Of work and play, of fun and sincerity May we have the grace to find balance in our lives May we receive the judgment to put it into practice And the peace that comes from having it realized Amen

By: Cedric McClester As the Protagonist expects *** as a pretext Baffles intellects In an election context So it’s no mystery That he does this ya see When ancient history Can be so blistery Given the nomenclature Of its prurient nature Clearly I would hate to Be forced to debate you But the Protagonist Has long been doing this Although he gets me ****** He doesn’t feel remiss As long as he’s untoward He won’t fall on his sword And you can rest assured That the past won’t be ignored In any given broadcast He can be put on blast Because if one chose to ask They'd learn about his past Right down to his hair follicle The man is diabolical   And also quite methodical What I’m saying is he’s horrible Like excrement stuck on a shoe He’s nasty and it’s also true Like a bowl of witches brew He’s impossible to misconstrue Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2016.  All rights reserved.

THE PROTAGONIST
A room full of possibility Hopes and dreams my heart light as a feather Rainbow cacophonies of my soul   But the colors only dance in my Dreams, for my heart feels dark and laden with stone Like a photograph, so remiss of light As I yearn with my whole self and somehow… more Picturing your sweet face , the warmth of your being Yet here in the harsh light of truth the door remains closed Too hard to bare the empty promises the ache I bare in my heart I could fill an ocean with the tears I have cried, begging for you My heart yearns to lull you to sleep To gaze into your perfect eyes Mother and baby connected before Being The door lurks in the background Does the door unlock, all my Dreams? Or maybe… It’s just .. another … room Copywrite 2022 Kelly All Rights Reserved

1709 With sweetness unabated Informed the hour had come With no remiss of triumph The autumn started home Her home to be with Nature As competition done By influential kinsmen Invited to return— In supplements of Purple An adequate repast In heavenly reviewing Her residue be past—

With sweetness unabated
Time’s ominous perpetual precipice looms, Darkly beckoning with gilded motives. The student’s curse worming insidiously throughout the best intentions The enemy’s ticking fingers foreshadow their fate, But like blinded deer, we frolic obliviously, Blissfully remiss in our duty as the forgiven. Twilight nears, but we are still frozen in the sun.

Procrastination
Since now the hour is come at last, When you must quit your anxious lover; Since now, our dream of bliss is past, One pang, my girl, and all is over. Alas! that pang will be severe, Which bids us part to meet no more; Which tears me far from one so dear, Departing for a distant shore. Well! we have pass’d some happy hours, And joy will mingle with our tears; When thinking on these ancient towers, The shelter of our infant years; Where from this Gothic casement’s height, We view’d the lake, the park, the dell, And still, though tears obstruct our sight, We lingering look a last farewell, O’er fields through which we us’d to run, And spend the hours in childish play; O’er shades where, when our race was done, Reposing on my breast you lay; Whilst I, admiring, too remiss, Forgot to scare the hovering flies, Yet envied every fly the kiss, It dar’d to give your slumbering eyes: See still the little painted bark, In which I row’d you o’er the lake; See there, high waving o’er the park, The elm I clamber’d for your sake. These times are past, our joys are gone, You leave me, leave this happy vale; These scenes, I must retrace alone; Without thee, what will they avail? Who can conceive, who has not prov’d, The anguish of a last embrace? When, torn from all you fondly lov’d, You bid a long adieu to peace. This is the deepest of our woes, For this these tears our cheeks bedew; This is of love the final close, Oh, God! the fondest, last adieu!

The way he held me How his eyes sparked When met with mine My god it threw me Into a hope Consuming But hope is tricky And slippery And devouring reason Committing treason For a season Then returning In the yearning Of the glance From a new boy From a new romance **** Phases of the moon Of the heart A slivering slice of a crescent The Oh dear god HOPE Of a new start LOL. Just kidding This new moon And this new thing Can’t be seen In the dark of night In my limited sight Black-on-black It’s all just the same **** Right? No way, baby! Call it a maybe! Call it a feather In your hat On your wing Just fly into the horizon Of the hope Of this new thing Until the arrow Of the truth Enters the marrow Of your VIP booth This is not cool This is ruth… Listen to me You idiot You fool Remember boy one Who held you And flew too close to the sun He burned you to ash Then said “goodbye forever I’m done” Well, **** me up That was fun Then boy two Who shoved you Into the abyss Wait...I’d be remiss Not to mention All of that ****** tension Simmering Steaming Boiling And Gleaming Like the rays of the moon Is she full yet? Nah, it’s too soon She’s still hiding In the newness Of nothing Of black-on-black Call me out I lack a back Bone to hold up Any more hope It’s all rotting now In bed all day Jotting down Memories as if they will save me Wow. Okay. Less saving Instead Evaporate me Into the ether Into the sun Into the moon The end seems far away So I’ll just bide time In my cocoon Dreaming of the day When she will bloom Into her fullness Picturesque Over the crescent Of a dune

No fancy words, no subtle metaphors. No unnecessary rhyming, no forced stanzas. No charming characters, no outraged emotions. No known beginning, nowhere to reach to. No false claims, no stories to declaim. No pretentious wisdom, no poor philosophies. No insightful analysis, no blind remiss. No powerful principles, no meek cries, A plain simple poem; read it as it is before it dies.

A plain simple poem!
Dear dancer, behold a much-belated birthday gift, an elegy, apology. I drove 3000 miles west last week pursuing every single sunset the way I once chased after you and... I'm sorry. Dear dancer, you are a tree. How wrong to think your shade was made for me. Leaves and blooming branches stretched towards the sky, floating petals dancing in the wayward air, roots deep beneath the grassy earth... How wrong to think your shade was made for me. To me you'll always be the dancer, ballerina, book lover, pirouettes and paper cuts and piano strings. I'm sure you make them sing like symphonies. To me, you'll always have your place, framed against sunsets, nostalgic memories. To me, you'll always have that blushing grin. Sometimes I'll imagine you in coffee shops, and I still have that mason jar of ocean sand. Dear dancer, I'd be remiss if I didn't give you thanks. You may not know, but you saved me from depression. You saved me from myself. You showed me what it's like to smile, to smile from the heart, and you taught me freedom once again.   Here it is, an elegy, apology, one last poem for you. Happy birthday, dear dancer. Happy birthday.

Dear Dancer
Promise me Forever; Lie with intent To love eternity. Feign the strength of A god, Hold the weakness of A mortal. Never let “love” slip From this deep caress; Not a glance be remiss From the touch of affection. Let our souls portray Light, in the darkness.

Good Intentions
I carry you on my lips, which can’t recover from the wounds made by the sweet venom of the taste of yours, when one thing or another is trying their bond to riven. But my conscience seem to hover, in those moments we discover own banned corner of heaven. I carry you in my arms, when a pale ray of sun teases us through the window, from the whole world, we are remiss and our joys merged into one. With your hands around my waist: a new day has just begun and life dissolve its liquer of bliss in my mornin coffee’s taste.

Morning Bliss
Today I reached for you With a kind of virtue And sincerity pressed behind the design on my lips Little realizing I was still reviling Within my current remiss I went and sinned again darlin' There's little to do for recompense, and so cordially I professed to you all of my candid truths With every intent To avoid becoming uncouth and elusive Because... I do miss you And I suppose I well knew... You don't feel the same I could feel it the instant you responded Not the least bit concerned Which was well deserved Leaving me completely despondent I need you to remind me Just how lost my heart has become And what that has cost anyone Trying to reach for me When I become undone Somewhere in between the real desire to reignite whatever fire had transpired between us With a new flame Lay my hidden ulterior motive Even I believed we would achieve Something constructive Yet my devious mind Deceived even myself To harness this abject, self-destructive desire Call me by my real names: Heartless. Narcissist. Liar. Coward. Creep. Thief of catharsis. Remind me of the same feeling Delivered in your own unique way Because I can't stand To let myself ever forget again This pain in my chest Is everything to remain It's all I have left

Sins of the Self Destructive
For my mate Ernest W who cared.... Invisible in silky strands, a gossamer of lethal thought, Drifting through the nether regions, touching on my mind. Complication’s vagaries encroaching on the circumspect Magnifying well beyond solutions I can find. Nervous in the groundswell now, I feel it all inflating, Inflating to a curtaining beyond my self control, Waves of peristalsis in a shrill persistant keening, Locking out the sanity in holding logic’s goal. Waves of peristalsis in a bath of perspiration Panic in a rupture at the coccyx of my spine, Ravenously eating at the fabric of all reason Ravenously gnawing at this rationale of mine. ***** in a puddle on the floor beside my footwear Cloying is the stench of the ***** in my drawers, Lost are the vestiges of any thought of decency Gone is the differentiation in my flaws. Clenching of hands in a bind of blue confusion Catatonic slowness in arresting the decline, Vaccilating eyeballs are rolling for the camera And utter desolation is a flavour on my mind. Why be concerned with the shaming of tomorrow? Why come to terms with the maunderings of late? Why face the music of the mirth and derision When there’s a more practical direction to take? Glide to the realm of the smooth overflowing Slide in the slipstream oblivion makes, Slip the bonds of your sad  mortal tenure’s Awful array of destructive mistakes. Glide to the realm of serene independence Glide far away from the troubled and hard, Gone to the gossamer web of the ether Gone to the nether world’s silky facade. *...........: But what's the guts Courageous, You happy with your deed? Are your friends all overjoyed To see your suicide succeed? Is your family unaffected By the loss and guilt remorse, Your sudden grand departure leaving kids without recourse? Did you think about the aftermath? The chaos and the pain And the long term implications Of your shattered families' shame? The guilt within your partners heart, The kids who are confused And the ****** dissapointment Of your mates.. who feel abused? The mess you left behind you And the tangled web you wove And the bruising of good memories For which, you once,...had strove. Your painless, quick demise, you thought, Released you from all this..... But the sadness in the silent eyes Condemns you as remiss.* Marshalg   In an effort to understand why? ....And explain why not ! 9 December 2010 Read more: http://hellopoetry.com/poem/suicide-12/#ixzz17kzvfsTk
