"repelling" poems
A dream once was had-- for two to be equal, For this is the land of the free, Free for you; free for me. Often we hide our faces, as if we were the ones shamed. Instead of standing up with another, Repelling awful names. Silence has a power, often more than sound. Silence tunes your true voice, Silence shakes the ground. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. Young students go to school, all shades of different skin. We all threw rocks and names, Wanting equality was their sin. Did it matter? Their race was who they were. A few rose voices, Others’ silences were fists furled. What does it matter, of what color their skin? Here comes another battle. Here it comes again. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. If one was gay, would he not be a being? Should you let others mock? Does silence stop the grieving? No, the pain is still there, still loud. The silence is louder. Silence is all around. The names, the hate, all can be repressed. Silence is the fermata. Silence has the stress. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. What is the solution, to this lack of sound? Simple. Make it loud. A word of hope, ringing upon new ears. A word of sympathy, Erasing all the fear. A smile, a hug, a song, a dream, All to be had, All to be seen. Shout against repression, against hate. For we are all equal, All the same final fate. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. Stand together, as one. Make the stand. Stop silence, create music, Ring it through the land. With your words create harmony, create rhyme. Create thirds and fifths, Stronger than the flow of time. Why must we stand alone? Aren’t we all brothers? Did our ancestors fight? Protecting our dear mother? Hand in hand we’ll rise, voices speak as one. Cruelness and evil gone, Silence on the run. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. If we do not help each other, then who will assist? Together we will rise, Or fall together into the abyss. Gay or straight, or be it black or white, Whether you believe in god, We’re all human, right? We all feel, we all hear and see. We can all make words, We all breathe. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. So why must we be made different, called by our opinions or race? Why must we be judged, Simply by our face? No more, I shout. No more the hate. No more discrimination. This is our fate. No more injustice, social and the silence. No more acts of anger. No more senseless violence. Let brothers protect brothers, let friends be friends, For we are only human. The same mortal end. Let sisters love their sisters, let strangers be strangers no more. For we are only human. Our heart is our core. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead. I will stand alone, if that is what it takes. I will raise my voice, Singing with quick haste. I will be the difference, the smile to the weak. I will help protect, Helping shield the meek. I will celebrate the differences, that make you and me. I will turn the lock, My voice will be the key. Soon my friends will join, creating a choir of light, Singing against the hate, Harmonies strike the night. Silence will not be my tool, silence is not my friend. I will make my voice count. I will make this hate end. Silence is the foe, when words need to be said. Silence is the killer. Silence marks the dead.

A slow sun Peeps over the horizon The golden dawn Joins the lovers in Their warmest embrace Promise of The most perfect day Offered with reverence From God Herself Before the daydream Can even begin A swift hand Snaps the blind shut A not so casual escape Towards the cliff edge Startling the curious bluebirds That were beginning to gather Vanish does the dawn. With caution Light fingers trace the earth exposed Cracked Repelling all offers of relief Regret overwhelming The warmth of the sacred center Evaporates rapidly Releasing a sigh Light and heavy In every way She retreats As once again She is reminded That he is not A morning person

Can We Keep Our Eyes Closed?
I see pictures in my head. Me with a magnet embedded in my stomach. Repelling or attracting certain types of people. A man walking the New York streets Concerned over his ****** addicted brother. I see viking ships sailing to protect their homeland From dragons and crop plight.

Images
A repelling sensation Permeation of sound Or temperature Impossible A moment, a day Eternity Organs slow, pumping Softly, so as not to awaken the real Vulnerable and courageous Becoming a partnership between a drip of fear And the end, arriving as Seas fill ridges and valleys, Crevices of corpses A new bite on each blade of Crumbling spirits Pickling at each span of one's own whisper

Tuesday's Alienation
Happiness is an empty street And a fast car. Happiness is a clean, cold pool You plunge into on a hot day. Happiness is someone in your bed Who’s gone in the morning If you don’t want company Or who stays if you do. It’s someone who is happy to read the paper Or take a hike with you. It’s not worrying what others think About you and your beliefs And the wisdom to know who counts. Happiness is strength, Enough to fight the world Or luxuriate in things gone well. Happiness is attracting and repelling Without having to try. Happiness is a an aching fist And an attacker’s black eye. Happiness can be a warm gun, Depending who gets hit.* Happiness is not waiting for love, Then falling in love in seconds. It is knowing that you are fine With or without a vow, Yet being able to say “yes”, When lightning strikes And “no” when it’s just a cloud. Yet happiness is not being sure And bathing in uncertainty, Of the pleasure in mystery. Happiness is loving, faults and all, An intensity so focused That you’d gladly die for the one Who was sent by some mixture Of sunlight and shade, On an ordinary afternoon, Happiness is his body in yours, His sweat on your skin in summer, And body heat on cold nights. Happiness is loving a little boy Who looks like both of you And knowing that love can transfigure Time, exceed itself and encompass More than one. Happiness is contentment In realizing how much you’ve had And say you’ll feel rewarded When your random life is done. Happiness is the legend they tell About you when you are gone; The feeling is theirs and maybe yours. Happiness is knowing that, if you go too far, That there is no heaven or hell, Or if there is, Then anyone can play guitar. September 9, 2020

On a vehicle bed I voyage, wearing headphones which lead the way. Repelling neighbors screams, these jolting sounds travel through my body, breaking locks and knots. Unraveling the fabric across time and space. Is there anybody out there that feels the music flow sensitively ? I enter myself more deeply, I lose myself to the voices and words of chemistry. I lay in ecstasy frequencies. Becoming one with musical melodies.

Why are people intentionally cruel and malignant? Are they too blind to mistake their Achilles’s heel for their forte? Or do they intentionally enjoy obliterating anything that comes their way? Indubitably, reeling into their self-destruction and collapse as the roof caves. Repelling any benevolence into their lives, They will close all doors with their narrow minds. Atrociousness will prevail and set forth unfathomable tongues of rhyme. Seeking insatiable supremacy governing in disguise. Clearly oblivious to the detrimental exploits they expose, They will lead a life that is solely self-imposed. Cultivating an environment of animosity is not astute you see, People will always revolt and eventually be set free. Unless you morally evolve and realize you have wronged, You will embark on a journey that will negatively consume your soul. It begins with your physical state, depleting with every irrational action you make. Ultimately, deteriorating your body into an anemic vegetable state. Reeking of insecurities through the infusion of wretchedness and despair, your life will begin to turn inside out transforming into an eternal torment of misery and hell. However, it's never too late to change your tyrannical direction. It's only compassion, empathy, and altruistic love that will be your salvation. By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Cause and Effect
What is your touch? It is the physical sensation of electromagnetism repelling our atoms, It's the chain reaction set off through my nervous system, Culminating in my cortex, where it is comprehended as your touch. *In dim streetlight through your window, With just a crescent of your face illuminated. With your soft eyes, and memories of our backpacking trip mixing in Like honey mixes with warm tea, or coffee. With ***** brown curls around your head like a halo.* Still, what is your touch? It is like a ripple through me, and it ripples out into the world It is more present in my action every day As you take down my walls As your lips send soothing down to my core As you make me believe In love Again. It is everything that went into making you, No better concoction Has ever been brewed. And the way that you move Makes little eddies of awe that captivate my eyes, They cannot move. So you see, It's not hard to convince myself That your touch is everything. Two ends of the universe, You're setting me free That anything happened at all Was as great a miracle As your touch is to me It's giving me shivers And melting my heart-- There is nothing in this world like your touch.

Ouroboros Touch
We run through golden drops of sunlight with reminders tied around our wrists memories in baskets of woven wind Tomorrow chases us as we chase yesterday The synchronicity of our steps becomes the rhythm of time lost in the streets of reality while navigating maps of wonder our lives are repelling forces that now face the immobility of our desire for freedom so what's left? Besides you running toward this morning sky and me, sinking in a shallow sea of words and puzzles, that time built for you and I

Chasing Dissonance
Everyone has a habit. Mine is biting my nails until I start to taste my fingers. Everyone has a habit. Mine is falling in love to quickly, like a clumsy school girl who always falls into her crushes arms, just to be dropped Everyone has a habit. Mine is getting rejected like a credit card that has been maxed out. Everyone has a habit. Mine is always saying the wrong thing. When ever I talk to a girl I become my secret identity : loser boy! My one power is repelling women away quicker than the flash runs around a shopping mall with a Visa card . Everyone has a habit. Mine is brushing my hair until it almost looks like something that I could love, my hair is a chain that links me to my skin color, like a slave hooked to an auctioneers stage. So I try to brush away my skin like getting rid of thick curls will change my heritage. Everyone has a habit. I have this really ****** habit of never being happy. I always pick apart things and find some reason to hate myself. Im always to tall, to black, to stupid. I can't be happy for long because when I do I destroy myself like an evil villains plot when he presses the self destruct button because he's lost confidence in his plan. My biggest habit is smoking cigarettes made of sadness, and allowing depression to infect the rest of my body like terminal cancer. I can't recall if I smoke a pack a day anymore, it's a part of my everyday life. With every meal, movie or social interaction, I need a drag of sadness. There's this girl though, her smile is a nicotine patch, her voice is a message from my dr saying "we've found a cure, for your depression." Now i can put down the pack.

Your path is well worn Like the old Indian trails still visible in winter Your life has left a wake of possibilities Its ripples, forever spreading – wide, firm, unencumbered, vast To think of autumn and feel the evening chill for You are embedded in my every thought Anger, love, discontent, beauty, helplessness, ecstasy I am ready to find my cliff edge To spread my arms and leap Knowing the perfection of gravity and its consequences I fear that our entanglement has been broken Magnets, repelling with the same polarity

A Well Worn Path
Injection of love has no limits, Diminishes bad habits, only traces of a worthy candidate. We ride the wave of feelings and serenade our ears to the rhythmic beats of our hearts. How often do the least get rewarded, unseen and unblemished by the horror of life. This world is paved with gold, pity those treasures are covered by things stale and old. But not this love...it awakens the soul and traces back the lies we were told. Capture my runaway train of thought and reign my wishes, Drowning in my blushes, if words were permanent and memories paintings. They would create what's never seen...write a story using the strokes of colour displaying my thoughts. This pie in the sky feeling is blowing up the dust off my feet, Keep my eyes smiling and inspiring me to always appear neat...spit in the face of defeat, For after brokenness comes something sweet. It's me again...leaving behind what was and forgetting there is such a thing as pain. We keep moving, this love keeps sowing, and unaware of the growth underground, we keep growing. I love this love. It looks appealing...something out of your dreams which comes alive before your eyes. It looks great and fun, anticipating excitement and never being out done. Time...I picture it sitting in a corner with its legs crossed and watching from a distance. It knows when and even know and even beyond the now. The human heart carries so much...how it can carry hate and love together is hard to imagine. How does it do it...carry such strong repelling emotions yet still survive...I choose the latter. There is no darkness in it nor is there despair... See when you let love take you...you welcome a gentle peck from the heavens. It warns your soul and melts the concrete that had engulfed the heart...now finally you can hear your soul mates knock. Laughter and long walks, sunsets and crazy talk.... This image might not be for everyone, but love invites everyone. I love love...it sees no faults, just purity on the eyes of its viewer. It hurdles you when the world batters you...keeps you sain. How can I not love love, when it rescued me in my most deepest and brutal pain.

I got this glittery, ruby-red, smudge-proof lipstick the other day and I really have to say technology is what separates us from the apes. Well, technology and hair.. and.. - ok, let’s not dwell on the ape thing. Remember when lipstick smeared like news-print? Well, neither do I - it was one of those old-timey things you hear about somewhere like phone-booths, CDs and smart republicans. What about the young teenage girls who aren’t supposed to wear lipstick - who put it on, in the morning, at their locker, at school only to discover - seconds before their mom picks them up - that it's practically non-removable?  Try hiding your lips from your mom. I want breath-freshening, pizza flavored, jerk-repelling, morning-after-pill lipstick - that glitters, irresistably, like cotton candy *** snort If men wore lipstick I’m sure we’d have all that by now.

I stared East, directly into eyes of Ouranos The Water Bearer, in her flowing robe, stood Beaming like a new Mother at his Left hand Andromeda, angry and ready to do battle on his right Screaming forth with great fury On a collision course with glory Andromeda wields his fiery sword! We are but particles in this drama. Incapable of defending our existence Attracting and repelling each other As if we are of some great importance. I, you, us, we, them... all of us who are here, have come, or will ever be combined Are but the blink of an eye in this, The Ultimate Drama. Our Stars will dance the dance And read the script as it was taught them. The Tiny Audience already knows how it ends. There really is no, “maybe...” Or, “Well, it depends.”

Sometimes, you get what's coming to you...
Oh wasted talent, neglected excellence, how you enter the light every day, always leaving a black abyss full of attitude, and rude remarks, offensive words that sting long after you’ve crept back into your world of tenebrous isolation we feel the effects, like a wave of negativity you position yourself south of everyone comfortably north repelling love, and understanding, but you’re not lonely No you’ve found the ultimate alternative, An imitation reality, like McDonald’s food, Never quite able to equal greatness, nothing worth praise, almost a waste A great façade, a fake Your glossy eyes and lethargic mannerisms tell all Higher than life, Psh you don’t need us! But don’t you know? Weren’t you told? There’s a better way to get high, why not… … take a drag of the cigarette of friendship, or a hit of creativity? These things will far surpass the boundaries of ecstasy But no, you sit and you sleep senses dulled eyes glued shut you reside complacent in a prison to which only you hold the key! Don’t you know the greatness you could be? I do because I can see, past the cloudy eyes, beyond the stinging comments, I can see the successful well educated man you continually refuse to be. It hurts and pains me every day getting up from my seat taking the world away, and on the desk where you used to sit, is a pile of class work and lessons, that you call ******** stop now, before the poison penetrates too deep, save the dying man, the long list of what you could be times are tough and temptation is hard to fight, just remember that salvation is close and it is in sight, Ask for help and you shall receive, let in the light and shut out the fog, not one inky hint should remain, time is running low, and faith is hard to find…. just once, sincerely try to open your eyes, take advantage of the time that you have left because when this years over, it will be time well spent.

It hurts and pains me every day getting up from my seat taking the world away, and on the desk where you used to sit, is a pile of class work and lessons, that you call ******** stop now, before the poison penetrates too deep, save the dying man, the long list of what you could be times are tough and temptation is hard to fight, just remember that salvation is close and it is in sight, Ask for help and you shall receive, let in the light and shut out the fog, not one inky hint should remain, time is running low, and faith is hard to find…. just once, sincerely try to open your eyes, take advantage of the time that you have left because when this years over, it will be time well spent.

A leaf caught upon a breeze Spinning in one place, As if the earth was Repelling, Shunning, Dancing Upon gravities whims I watch hypnotised by this Dancing leaf,   I asked if in need of help But its words were but silence Spinning, Caressed, Flowing With the delicate movments Granted by the breeze, I stepped closer to see this natures dance And upon silken thread did it hold tight, "Never falling to earth" Hanging, Suspended, Graceful Movements, its time may come to fall But for now it dances upon silken thread Dancing within  the breathe of the gentle breeze.

Leaf Upon Silk
I Dreamed of Peace I dreamed of peace where games cannot touch my saddened heart; where the winters spray of discontent cannot make my blood cold, cannot make my marrow ache and my inner force limp wounded to the gray and weeping bank. I dreamed of peace where fire words shot to take me down miss their target and fall harmlessly in joyous fields of ripened corn, standing strong, smiling, repelling all the pointed barbs; whose yellow husks cannot be pierced but in reflecting provide a nourishment so replete the archers arm is wearied by the load. I dreamed of peace where no longer do I wake at night seeking reassurance from apparitions that their calling means no harm; where the raven sitting on the drooping branch is not waiting for my soul’s ascent; where the soot covered face peering from the bracken is not the axe man arrived to take me home. I dreamed of peace where the fire in my brain is quelled by knowledge, accomplished thoughts of reason and not prone to dissatisfaction; where thirst is quenched in rivers so deep my dive can never touch or scrape the sides and in whose fear I need not fear; where my essence is left untouched , my spirit not assaulted by ego and forced appraisal. I dreamed of peace where false disinterest lies split and gaping and hypocrisy oozes its puerile bile across cracked and concrete stagnant floors; where beggars no longer assault my passing with arms outstretched and hope etched into canyon city faces; where the malcontent is driven to the slackened shallows and forced to face their own reflection. I dreamed of peace where lightening skipped and danced across the waves and thunder played the most delicate of notes; where wind swirled not in anger but caressed the sparse sand dune grass and the stilt legged petrel bobbed in anticipation; where the fuss of self induced stress is placed inside the trench and covered by the dirt of self awareness. I dreamed of peace where only peace may step and no intrusion may be entered; where neither the able nor the vacuous may encroach; where neither the sun drenched and rich may acquire that which others have stooped to learn; where the essence of time is encased and made bare and does not beat to a false clock; where all I have been and all I am to be is in the one, and there is no need to climb a further set of stairs. I dreamed of peace.

Dripping inks from a dreamer's quill Trembling tip illustrates a scribbled script Weary sheets capturing an innocence guilt Corners not spared for a timeless trip Walking in reverse replaying all skits Sorting out smiles from the grimeless grins Missing a delicate frowned is a vital bit Expressions throned from denying wins Drifting words marking of flamboyant speech Passing judgement even before the trial begins Anonymous decision narrowing countless ditch Where should we go now? Or what should be seen? Visionary or idealist repelling reality's keep Spinning ticks as the grandfather clock dings The journey sails even when our eyelids peep Lights now shining while we recounting sheeps Reality is knocking so now just let our Fantasy breathes @2014 Maman Screams

Fantasy Breathes
An ocean away from the Ivory Coast, my feet are too clean and my mind is too ***** i'm so far away from this euphoric, ruddy discharge that my bed has transformed from a lukewarm boulder into all of my favorite childhood memories- the unconscious a candy apple, your dreams a sugary topping. there you are- wavering like a flag torn piece by piece from the wind, savoring my tears like a glass jar, gleaming ubiquitous affection, yet stoic, unaffected by the blistering mantle-heat. this ocean is my hospital gown tied so tightly that i can no longer breathe in your deepest fears and swallow them like morning coffee. this ocean is my mother, choking on soothing words, repelling suicide with optimistic rhetoric, neurons firing in a tone so hectic that silent meditation is an inaudible conversation. this ocean is the anti-depressant that ***** on my skin like a vacuum, dr. nestling his blindfold like an infant this ocean is my empty home, abandoned, lost in the noise. someday my feet will be ***** again, and i'll feel your unyielding warmth like quarries in the summer, dropping all of the noise and mending with what matters most, where i'm blending in with infinite shades of the Ivory Coast.

this ocean (R & F)
There I stood. Body trembling, hearing only manic depressive echoes. On one side, mournful cries, on the other, sheer harmonics. There was a feeling of dream-like reality. Some great force enveloped my body, compelling me to stagger forward. With no realization of the whereabouts of my being, I conceded to follow my feelings, as I always did. With each step I took, I could see and feel and experience a new part of my life that had already happened. It was a chronological walk in time. The conflicting noises ahead continued to get louder and more distinct. On one side there was a gnashing of teeth; screaming and yelling ruled. It was riotous, and strange looking people were festering about. They scowled and spat at me; the smell--repelling. On the other side, there was a great feeling of unity. Great stillness and serene calmness. An entity secure within itself. There were much fewer on this side. I chose to walk close to this side. My knees buckled, but I miraculously remained standing. There I stood; facing the Creator. Anticipating God’s words, I prematurely smiled expecting open arms. God, in all His righteous power, simply pointed at me and thundered; “I know ye not!” There I stood… body trembling.

The Judgement
Experiencing the love we share, Encouraging only the positivity, Explicitly repelling opposed air, Embalming only the negativity, Effecting the feelings that glare. We savour that sweetness now.

Savouring All Love
we stopped believing the agora of the mind our souls empty rooms colliding full of amnesia on incessant roads walls of flesh we were on the edge of terror, steel confused with clarity souls plucked like nails inside ruins suffocated tales & archives of illusion the shadow is closer to the center only in the diaries of the blind no hole of god is dead, we ***** fresh prophets with inviolable gaze for the sublime and holy in our sweat believing is seeing the most lethal duel the one and only the fake divine who thinks alone on a road with no views he planted spotlights in their eyes for everybody to see only the world in his arms hate kept in empty milk bottles life is this schweitzer, passers-by were saying, it has taste but only  in foreign countries, with their fists in pain caressing concrete asphalt turbines as in quick sands no muscle was moving carboard smiles unprotected against the evacuation of desire wooden language didn't invent choice no decomposition of the edges the totalitarian thought inside the narcosis of time merciless the clouds lost their sound we still don't look at each other no hypothesis of sight no discharge for humiliation wither souls made history grappling bending twisting nonconsensual reality no destiny for the allegory of truth   there are no angles of sight facts become beasts holy cannot be anybody's name repelling of the heart beat
