"requested" poems
Oh, they a strange brew. Almost like a union crew. One minute disagreeing. Then the next tight as can be. In house fighting that makes you question their love. Just to see them turn around and show it. Siblings, only they can explain it. Getting to the truth is hard as can be. Unless you have a young one. Who will tell on everyone? Siblings, only they understand that connection. Parents know their bond. That if attacked by others. They gather together to bare arms. And it's not with any guns. The world of a child is simply hard to explain. The way they wants to go outside and play in the rain. And avoid coats in the snow. And when questioned about , how things got broken? Then between them nobody really know. Siblings, we all been there before. Unless you're the only child. Then you just don't know. This love bond stays between some as they simply begins to grow older. Their motto , somethings parents don't need to know. Unless it's something vital. Then the protection goes out the door. Yes, there'll be fights. And lectures from parents. There's be wearing of clothes that belonged to others. Who hadn't had the chance to wear them before? And give you the option of taking them off freely. Before they assist you to the floor. Yes, siblings. They hard to explain. Counselors advice isn't asked or requested for. Not by parents that know about these things. Books wasn't going to be their teacher. Because books didn't raise them in anyway. That this new generational thing. Where judges and courts thinks social workers needs to be involved? The best instructions is in the book about the teaching of God. Where we see the same conflicts? Siblings, there's no one better to have than a sister or brother. Who had a mother or father to witness it all?

If you weren't dark skin you'd blush, You and your pleasantly "spring" demeanor, blooming smiles in secret inside your hazmat suit, from any type of feelings, you are already infected, -- and contagious, yet refuse to admit the goosebumps on your neck, without the fortunate luxury of showing your emotion society has deemed you timeless, an eloquent flagrant aroma, the definition of fine wine with a zest -- a spiciness of an impatient "summer", you are warm, and the stem of your smiles comes with thorns of poison, weapons of mass destruction, so you're cloaked, tucked away from societal norms, and expectations --  who are we to judge, you are correct, your skin, is the right tone, to grab the attention for all the unwelcome, literal and figuratively baring a cluster of ideas, wants, desires -- requested by only the elite, pasteurized and preserved until then.

(daughter of Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet) the un-Suppression of the Black Woman pt.1
So I turned 32 today. Penniless birthday, almost. Howling rains woke me up and I fell back asleep. And the cat respected my birthday. Did not claw my lips like my usual feline alarm. The birthday flowers in the morning were vivid. My mother bought them, deep red and deep yellow. I requested for birthday lunch my mother’s home-cooked burgers and fries sprinkled with iodized salt. And I filled myself up with them hot and crispy fries and didn’t care if they stayed inside my guts until 2014. I never really liked cake. Opted for a dozen original glazed. Heavenly donuts. Two of them tumbled down the escalators. The first birthday flaw. Like a bleep in the grand scheme of birthday things. I brought them to a Greek restaurant. My mom and dad and two sisters. Not really hungry. Just hungry for a different taste. The salad had candied walnuts among the greens and the reds. Progressive Greece. Then a classic lamb dish. Classic Greece. And the waiters in stuffy white bellowed a birthday greeting, dropping the “h” from my name. Belted out a non-Grecian birthday song. No Grecian dance. But they gave me an ice cream treat. Lighted a solitary blue candle, which balanced on the semi-liquid hills of vanilla, caramel and walnuts. The small ice cream hills illuminated by the dancing birthday light.

Birthday
Why have two arms? If you're not willing to hug. People are quick to punch with two arms. Even with one arm. You can deliver a lovin' hug. It these limps that truly assist us. Sure there are others. But at the present. I'm not mentioning them. Altho' I'm sure the lips. Are a little jealous. Why have two hands? If you're not willing to use them. We use them to shake hands. Altho' we have those afraid to catch a germ. As if. They hadn't caught germs from other items in their life. This hug. Which can be given with kindness. Which can be deivered with softness. Well, in this case. The receiver might have a sun burn. Or some other type of injury. Plus, you can hug too tight. And be banned from trying that again. When requested to just shake hands. Of course. You have those that does the search and feel. Trying to be like a detective trying to pat you down. But for those that's truly sincere. You personally know those that's sincere. When giving a hug.

Hug
The Dragon's Blood Tree standing cross the Horn Shedding its Bark to reveal those Red Tears Crying for its Content and its Forlorn Why such Organism left out its Years Truly a Wonder did this Being adjust Where Needed Friend Man requested its Juice The same Crimson Drops whose Benefits must Recycle to Dye and other Good Use But as it thought of its Charity gave Thinking how it could graft a New Best Friend It remembered its Roots; Thus it re-made Bearing Bright Flowers would last till the End. Mama Africa smiles. You made her proud Despite the Pirate's Threats your Leaves sing loud.

AN OUTSTANDING STUDENT AND A BAD TEACHER
Just as you Sing to the Pop-Diva's Tune The Robins will cower and chirp for more I speak for some News I brought this Noon Though I believe you have heard this before: The Pilgrim comes out of the Pool. And begs Your Seasoned Pucker as you make-decide His trunks are no-offense. In Truth his legs, Thick as moss beg your humble dear Confide I guess you were advised after your Shift He requested for your charmed Experiment Second Ghosts appeared; They in turn bereft And granted his Fantasy's sentiment. I should go now. Since more time to pursue Before he stabs me with a Knife-in-Due.

SONNET TRIBUTE: CHERYL COLE
... ***I've got a few visitors tonight; they're all associated with the wolf under my eyes*** I. *I've left loneliness to starve on a stone table, while jealousy can bleed me a lake; fear and I are equals, on the battlefield of fate.* "Pay no mind to the rebel." II. *Forked tongues recite wickedness; of all the shadows gaining power as the sun was slain. Black flames banish all that is golden, as darkness bent my silent skeleton; but it didn't break.* "I'm just some sin you committed...right?" III. *A basilisk waited for me at my chambers, it requested a lullaby, and a glass of iron wine. Who knew poison would be my new best friend? Who knew my company would be kept by an oracle of silver'tongue? Dead languages clutched my lively secrets.* "Every wolf gets tired of the moon at some point." IV. *And just like that; We were splintering at your wolfsong auburn poems at the feet of trees waist deep in misery you sat, head crowned in autumn's diseases. Witnessing you tilt your head to plant a kiss on the night's wings;* ***"Oh, it's ******* agony."*** *Watching your eyes harvest hurricanes love sinking in tongues of ebony sorrow. they don't belong to me you don't belong to me.* ***"I suppose I can't change the world but I will leave it colder."*** V. *And sometimes, love is just the aftermath of a tragedy.* ...

Autumn Killings.
I hope to meet a hiking goddess Maybe when I go to Yosemite In my dreams She has similar interests as I do She enjoys history and philosophy She is fit And has a powerful And athletic body She can even squat more than me In my fantasy And with those powerful legs Can easily pin me down We hike the trails together And at night I give her oral pleasure For hours on end What a way to spend A few days at Yosemite I told her about my pledge Of chastity And it is so hard for me (literally, lol) She came equipped with many toys And so I put on My chastity belt Just as she requested She is staying in another tent I take a peak And see a taller More powerful man Caressing her with his hands! I cry a bit inside my tent She told me she was a ****** too And I won't let that man Take her virginity away No, not ever Not on this day I steal her away From that man Virgins we will both remain I tell her He will just leave you *** is a dangerous game And so better companions We came to be Me providing oral pleasure And both of us Committed to Our pledge of chas-ti-ty

A Hiking Goddess
I met you at the station you said wanted to go anywhere but here. I said to look for the tracks that are the most uninviting. You took my arm. I wished for something better and here it came, disguised by dirt, dislocation and greying days. Your ticket says no return but mine is undefined, watchful, ready to bolt or to linger. You say you love the stations from afar. There's not much of me requested, but the splinters that you do, I gift hopelessly. The smallest glimpse of light approaching filtered through dank, oppressive air are superior, surely? than finite life exhausted watching the dark. By the night you amplify, when you have enjoyed my fill and left with little but fingerprints and recollections, casting parallel shadows on directions that await. I give you almost everything except for the words that travel nowhere but my head. You gave me the signal a briefest flash of red that stopped this in its tracks.

Strikes on the Railway.
You were beaten and bruised, for the sinful likes of me; three nails pierced Your flesh, as You were hung… at Calvary. An unthinkable act of Love was cruelly executed for me; for You took the punishment, that had been… meant for me! With forgiveness on Your breath, You requested a pardon for those, who carried out judgment on You, as a death sentence was imposed. A spear was ****** in Your side, as Your demise was underscored; when it was mundanely removed, both blood and water had poured. [chorus] On The Cross of Calvary, Love was brokenhearted; Salvation was paid in full; Grace’s flow was started. [bridge] We don’t fully understand, God’s goodness towards us; Sin’s debt was wiped out, by the sacrifice of Jesus. We adore Him, since Christ had truly loved us first; He bore the painful brunt of payment for Sin’s curse. . . .

Poem: On The Cross of Calvary
I haven't left my house or showered or been outside or opened my blinds in a week and a half. I feel like a limp noodle, I have no motivation to do anything. I haven't been to work and I have canceled counseling twice. I feel ill if my mother tries to make me eat more than once a day. I wonder if anyone notices what's happening to me. I wonder if anyone knows the pain gnawing at my heart and causing this lump in my throat. I wonder if they care. Every little thing is hurting me. The way that others think of me, the way they speak of me, the way they ignore me, the way they treat me. Everything is just there in my head, swirling around over and over. How needy I am, how annoying I am, how I can't control my drinking, how over-emotional and dramatic I am. I wonder if anyone knows why the things that they say and think and feel about me effect me so much. Because it's me that they don't like. It's me that they're insulting. You can ask me to change and I can act different, but it's still me. I deal with it every day. I feel every emotion to the very bottom of me. There's no reaction that I act out that doesn't express exactly how I am feeling. My emotions run deep to the core of me. If they say that I am too much, I simply am. That is me, exactly. I can't bare myself at times; Imagine being me every day. So why not just love me and accept me for being so entirely honest and so real. I'm something hard to fathom, I understand, but all I am is all I ever were and all that I can be. I have masked myself for everyone "I'm fine. I'm always fine." Don't let me deceive you, it's my favorite line. Inside I am crying, inside I am dying and on the outside I'm lying. Understand this; My tears are all dried up and I have ****** back into myself to please you. I am trying so hard to provide the silence that you have requested; so don't ask me why I've disappeared. Don't ask me why I am wasting my life away in a 'cave'. Don't ask me why I won't come out. Don't ask me why I won't speak or smile or cry or yell. Don't ask me why I am lacking emotion. Notice, but don't ask. I will tell you once again. There is nothing that I feel that does not entirely devour me. Nothing that I feel that doesn't consume my every thought and every second of my existence. You told me to be silent. You asked me to stop feeling the way that I do. So I have emptied myself, to the bottom of me, just to please all of you. k.d.

Husbands, raise your hands Keep them up if you love your wife Keep them up if you colour your wifes hair Okay, this is for the three of us that are left....

There Is But One Law (The Dancer's Coda) There is but one set of laws, One that need be obeyed, One that brooks no heresy, One that gives no absolution. One that needs no priests, no canons, One that that refuses disobedience. We all bend knee at altar invisible, Though feasance never requested. The Laws of Physics. A body at rest, a body in motion. Laws immutable, unconditional, Equations, proofs, demonstrable, Inequalities inexcusable, banished. Dancer says: I am heretic, even these laws I refuse. My body denies limitations, My mind believes I will make do What it could not, but yesterday. Defiance from wire to wire is the Fuel in my veins, fear but a detail, Leaping from from ten meters more, My Declaration of Independence. My body plastic, my mind ethereal, Some mock, call it trickery, Some hail, call me hero. There are forces greater than mine, Forces irrevocable, mathematically superior. Each day my force grows as well, Visions imagined supersede the Tedium of definitions, of boundary lines. Bend the law, conquer the null, fill the void. Each day sketch, devise, organize a New rebellion, follow only one command, Honor but a single battle cry. Leap, then fall! That dancer, your only law, That heretic, thine only coda. Action is freedom. For you are dancer, Whisper as you leap: The Fifth Freedom I possess, The Freedom to Fall. May 17th, 2013

There Is But One Law (The Dancer's Coda)
Spoke to a near and dear friend today who relayed a story to me, asked me to write something about it, then requested I shared it. Thanks to all of you who do what you must. I was feeling most light To start this day But now I confess That has gone away I will reveal things Some consider dark And be very frank Though you may find it stark I have hunted and killed The most elusive of prey Hoping to never re-visit That final day And though I bury the memory It seems to rise from the dead Once again though as yesterday Living in my head The last look on his face The last living soul to see The confusion and surrender His life showed unto me Not like I had a choice It was his life or mine Only one of us would ever see Once again the sunshine One of us or another Would ever again know life That's how it is At the point of a knife One life is ended Another goes on Only one of us would see Another dawn You call it PTSD I call it life Living to tell the story At the tip of the knife.

PTSD
The leopard and the lion chose to become friends, For they were all proud of claws on their paws They each glorified one another for their mighty, Ability to live on meat of other fauna throughout a year, They each admired one another for running speed, They each remained firm and loyal to one rule; Lions don’t eat leopards neither leopards eat lions. They felt warmth in their companionship without verve, Until the time they initiated a certain joint venture; To hunt an antelope as it was famed to be the sweetest, Again, there had remained one antelope only in the world, They dilly and not dallied anyhow about such glittering project, They both endevoured to set forth by each dawn for a whole year, Tediously hunting throughout a day, the lion doing a great part, Setting ambuscades and arduously sleuthing to orient on trail, The leopard severally fainted in the field due to exhaustion, On one eve of christmas day, the lion captured the prey, When the leopard was a sleep shivering in fevers of malaria, Their prey was a middle aged female antelope with swollen hips. The leopard was sparked to fire of life by a mysterious fillip, He boldly requested work, now to help the lion in carrying, The un-suspecting lion relinquished the carcass to the leopard, Feat of shrewdness gripped the leopard, he took off Running away with a lightening speed, the antelope on his mouth, The lion again began to chase, shouting to the leopard, To be a gentleman and stop running, for them to share the plunder, The leopard never listened, he craftily climbed to the apex, Of the most tall and most slippery tree, he perched at the peak With the antelope on his muscular mandibles of voracity, The lion remained at the stem, wailing like a toddler His family does not climb trees, not even a shrub, The lion wailed, using all styles of wailing, Pleading with the leopard to donate even an iota, Not even a small piece of antelope bone dropped To drop on the ground for the lion to taste, Human leopards are not good hunting companions.

The leopard was sparked to fire of life by a mysterious fillip, He boldly requested work, now to help the lion in carrying, The un-suspecting lion relinquished the carcass to the leopard, Feat of shrewdness gripped the leopard, he took off Running away with a lightening speed, the antelope on his mouth, The lion again began to chase, shouting to the leopard, To be a gentleman and stop running, for them to share the plunder, The leopard never listened, he craftily climbed to the apex, Of the most tall and most slippery tree, he perched at the peak With the antelope on his muscular mandibles of voracity, The lion remained at the stem, wailing like a toddler His family does not climb trees, not even a shrub, The lion wailed, using all styles of wailing, Pleading with the leopard to donate even an iota, Not even a small piece of antelope bone dropped To drop on the ground for the lion to taste, Human leopards are not good hunting companions.

MASALA CHAPATI.....
I'm always apologizing Left and right My apology is requested From every peson in sight But I don't think This is right They should be apologizing For acting like I'm not there For pretending I'm invisible With no one to care So next time you're looking For my regrets Just walk right by me Because you won't be getting them yet

A Gift of Theft
I was your best friend,  But, one fine evening, You surprised me by the words you said. You, had proposed me that day, And our relationship status got changed by words that day.  I was quite happy because I knew, you will never take any wrong step.  And will never break my heart, And will never hurt me hard. Best friends now had become boy friend and girl friend. It was cute and different. But that was not love, I thought.  That was friendship from heart.  You said, "it's love, true and pure love dear, you will also feel the same, spend some time other than being best friends." Finally, one fine day some miracle might have had happened,  I fell in love with you.  It was truly a love relationship for me, by words and heart.  From then some feelings really changed. A few days later, you said, you want to confess something,  I thought, you now might want to marry me.  I was so happy, I can't share in words.  I was waiting for your arrival. Sayed, this was true and pure love- friendship, then lovers and then married couples. I was awesome happy from core of my heart. You came, but accompanied with a unknown girl, And said, "let's be best friends again, because she is the girl for whom I have fallen in love forever." "What about us?", I enquired. "We! We were not made for love affair. Friendship is only ok for us." I was shocked, surprised and shattered. You have by then broken my heart. It took long two years since then,  To rise up and live again. I, finally promised myself, Not to fall in love again. Then again we met on a cloudy day. You said, you are single again. Your words, your behaviour, your attitude, All were strange that day. I felt, I was talking to some stranger, Who is not my best friend. That night you came at my place again. And said, "let's fall for each other again." I was very sure with myself, And rejected your proposal face to face. You requested me to think over and over again. "I am sure, I don't want to fall for you again." Hearing my words, you left the place. No talk, no promises, no connection since then. And, now, after a decade, you have come again and saying, "Tell me something so hurtful that I don't miss you forever." Why such downmarket things you are speaking? What I said that day, are still my words, today. If this is not hurtful, then put yourself in my shoes, And imagine how much hurt I have got, Which had made the heartful girl so very heartless. *************************************

my sally my Sally a wonderful double entendre for it’s time, my internal clock chiming to sally forth and give the due to where dew in her garden resides, poetry becoming sweet tears in all our eyes when the philipina rain thirst quests our quenching there is no reason no request for this sally poem but a tickling thought suggests that a good friday. could be the trigger, or that pandora bringing me Ave Maria as I compose when the due and the dew and the do are a trinity the best poems are the un-requested  but the most needed, the most holy

my sally (when the due and the dew and the do are a holy trinity)
We ALL are blessed if only we believe it. Obviously, we can see it. I am blessed. Blessed to be loved and adored by my family. Blessed to see my children further themselves upon this earth. And even with those, I have lost. I am blessed to have known them. I am blessed. Blessed by God to enjoy life. Giving another chance to get any of my wrongs exactly right. We All blessed to share and to care with a forgiving heart. After all, we are requested by God to let vengeance be his. We, with jobs, are blessed. We, who seek the love of God is blessed? Yes, blessed, blessed, blessed. I could go on and on and on.
