"restrictions" poems
. A poet's heart isn't like any other... It's the tears that trickle with radiance through words.      It's a treasure trove that hides but longs to      be found.           It's a book shelved high that wants to           be read.                It's the freest of all birds caged but                unbound... A poet's heart isn't like any other... It doesn't beat to the capable strokes of the artist.      It doesn't pump in the most vibrant of      colours.           It doesn't wield a paintbrush to           translate its thoughts.                But it can see through the eyes of                painters... A poet's heart isn't like any other... It doesn't conform to the conventional parameters of lyrics.      It doesn't bind itself to the requirements      of musical harmony.           It doesn't follow the conventions of           genres.                But it sings its voice loud without                restrictions of melody... A poet's heart isn't like any other... It's an open secret, that whispers in metaphoric codes.      It's an exploding universe, that merges      back into galaxies.           It's a sought after painting, that boasts           of unfathomable beauty.                It's an everlasting song, that echoes                within the poet that embodies...

What's it take These days To write a poem That makes the world go mad That brings the crowds to their feet That spreads like wildfire Through a dry winter forest Is it those excessively long words? The ostentatiously loquacious Platitudinous ramblings Of an insecure mind aspiring To authentic intellect? Is it perhaps...      the "creativity"                of      varied      spacing   or...    could it be..... the lack                               of capitalization                the loathsome little letters                screaming out                          hey, look at us!          ... or maybe it's                the punctuation marks,      littered, haphazardly           through the text                     (whether used correctly)                or, theyre not?!      despite worrds mispeled           and a grammar might is broken    can these gimmicks increase interest         though miswritten or misspoken? Is the trick alliteration Whose bite brightly bids us To center on the snappy sounds? Although all along      unvoiced underneath Ideas idle in the isles    (or perhaps the aisles) Of the mind To meld and craft and bind Our thorough thoughts And worthy words Into lines Which Heard by herds Raise the                   Praise for which we                   Privately, desperately                   Pray Maybe it's a magical mix Of splendid in-your-head rhythm Marvelous meter that perfectly clicks Flowing smoothly without schism Well-spaced stanzas Well-used time Well-crafted phrases Well-thought-out rhymes Well, maybe not...      those gems are often ignored      cast-aside, unread, even abhorred Why? Because the modern world doesn't need your rules your restrictions your regulations your misguided boundaries your oppression your antiquated ideas    of "the right way"    to write    to speak    to act    to live    to (fill in the blank) No, what the modern world needs is Negation! Contradiction! Resistance! Revolt!

“You’re overweight,” he says, tapping his finger against his chart of heights and measurements, thighs too big and fingers too plump. I already know. I nod, and continue nodding, listening to the word echo and then fall onto the ground, bouncing and bounding, restrictions that have surrounded my whole life, my whole curvy figure. If I could be like the girls with the flesh wrapped tight and the bones loose and caving in on one another, I would grab the chance before it had a chance to flutter away from my desperately aching hands. When I look in the mirror, I try to remind myself that flaws are flaws and yet they were made to be beautiful, but I see what I see and what I see makes me want to ***** makes me want to close my eyes, makes me want to pull and tug and rip until there is nothing left but a pile of rotting decay. I am stuck, I am back on the playground in sixth grade where the boys would taunt and laugh, point and gasp, as I tried to pretend I looked like everyone else, every other small, petite little girl who didn’t have to worry about these types of things. My clothes don’t fit, I’ve gone through seven pairs of jeans in the last month alone, I look back at the pictures when I thought I was fat, but I wasn’t, I was fine then, why did I think that? I lay in bed beside the man I’m supposed to be with, fully clothed and pushing his hands away from my hips, away from my lips, don’t touch me then if you can’t handle all that I have to give. I’m not her, and she never wished to be me.

They said there was a drought water was short not enough for domestic use. At first declaring it was nobody's fault it had not rained for a long time! Committing an offence by using a hose pipe truthfully was a load of tripe. Water companies are making a financial killing everyone encouraged not to waste water. More fancy gadgets the public would be willing to buy water use multiplied. As the buzz was building more on any land telling us there was a demand! Thousands of houses built was there a big need statistics only the government held. Groups tried protesting for it not to proceed but fields were still built on. Heavy rains came with more depleted drainage so did the despair and rage. A state of increasing taxes with nothing to show more became classed as poor. Communication with voters becoming very slow the authorities had a strangle hold! As the ban on a non existent drought dragged on more doubters joined the throng! Was there a danger of a growing national threat from people against the elite. Basking in luxury as the masses increasing in debt the drought added more fuel. Restrictions taking away their dignity it turned sour there would be a defining hour. Or is this just a modern nightmare tale? The Foureyed Poet.

Redemption The longer that you are with someone the more memories you collect. Blowing the mind kills the membrane by making them explode. Bursting through the wall making my memories. I have been running all over. Just bounce. Time is running out I am about to explode. Dumbstruck walking through the door making our memories. Restrictions will be by passed. Your door to your heart will be broken and blown away. All I can do is get ready to explode. All my memories will be gone, but tell me you won't forget me in your memories. Old friends became my new friends. Busting through the door trying to run around in circles. I always thought I was to bold to save you. All I want to do is chill out, but the flames to hell are burning me. I want a ride to civilization, but the only ride I get is a ride to death. I try and catch myself, but it is always too late. My memories will be gone and so will you. My memories our memories. A pool of blood will separate us. I don't want to be left alone in the dark. I won't back down from my memories. I'll be confessing on the sins of my life when you leave me. I am the background when you have no one. I won't get in the way. I won't surrender until you leave me.   I will never leave my memories until I am dead. When I need to know my fears I look in the mirror. The qualifications you gave to me to keep you I will keep until I die I said, but you left me dead. Nothing exist without the power of love and hatred. I put all my growing pains aside to see my memories again. My strange growing pains have killed the people I loved and the things I loved. We all have the growing pains but God brings growth through are pain. Revenge I heard of you. I used to hold a grudge against you. I use to trip over it. I used to be young asking all them questions. I am sorry for putting the blame on you. It was my fault. Trying to find myself it was so hard. I can’t explain the pain that I felt, and I can't imagine what kind of fear and pain all this stuff put you through I am sorry. The new man is supported by the memories of you being there for me. The memories I hold are mine and your forever. You are looking at someone who just died and came back to life. If it wasn't for you I would be dead still. All my mercy forgive me. For if you still leave me I will be here confessing on the sins of my life. For the memories of you are forever with me now. The identity that I had wasn't me, I don't know who that was. I am not you, but I really am sorry for dying and almost losing all my memories of you. Until then I will be confessing on all my sins in life.

I envy those who can eat without conscience I long for the infamous day when "things will get better" I strive for an impossibility that I can feel within my reach I expend the necessary energy to achieve a negative net My mind rattles with number and limits Counting the minutes 'til my next meal Portion control and restrictions Fighting the urges of binges They say I'm just skin and bones But what I see is all I'll know

I have a lisp It is lovers lips caught in the spasm of a kiss I have a lisp that restricts what I'm capable of saying praying that I don't pass it onto my kids but there's restrictions on scripture as well. I have a lisp It is a gentle twist in words I can't complete I'll meet many who notices the obviousness of it. I can't synthesise similar sounds subtly to induce a feeling of happiness or sadness, I've been driven half to madness by the flaw. This is why my voice is within my writing, it is the lightning without the thunder, unheard to ears but the same power exists. I can't give a speech openly, or sing to soothe my soul, all because I have a lisp.

she gave me her cell #, in a crowded bar inked upon my forearm, "in case in my drunkness, I dare forget," a common come-on technique, that reeks of all good things to come but I failed to see, in the little letters, "@ your own peril" a warning, poorly heeded, inflaming my now unimaginable needy neededs, just a **** come on, or a warring warning of tumult, vampirish blood ******* with cautious haste, her number I did paste into my contact list, 'in case of loss, call,' when sudden notifications galore, came unbidden from everywhere: Are you really sure? these digits seems were posted on a Do Not Call list, maintained by monks and bro's, no, no, not a list of what-rhymes-with-bro's, but of fallen angels, who knew the secrets of heaven the price extracted for their revealing, could cause you life long arthritis of the heart, per the Surgeon General, for which the only cure, endure, endure, endure... the prize? endless wonderful new poems, freely given, but with one strictest of restrictions, if published, it meant your slow extinction! *that is why the world calls me Poet of the Way, forever trying to find a way, to away these treasured glories* then one day, he laughed and laughed, when he first he read the magic key, your poem, successfully saved *on Hello Poetry!* and now the poet endures, even possibly, self-saved, quite happily

Fire Hazard A crime against humanity, this life is pure and utter insanity, waking up to restrictions of gravity. I find myself committing to humility, a step forward from brutality. A ******* high trip of no pure quality. Stop. In honor of desperate assassinations, Throw away any glimpse of foundation, spiraling into a sess pool of hallucinations. Cloudy minds smear wind shield wipers, across grimy fixations. Drop. Clear all hesitations of this imperfect reality there’s no cure for the mental stability, of human nature that we so seldom take as a sign of fertility. Wake up to noise that bleeds ears like sewers so fatally. Roll. Ignorant mortals, try not to sound so angry.

How is life on lsd? Well come on this trip with me. Drugs are bad kids, they open your mind. They allow you to reason, and see through the lies, Losing reality, achieving duality, The effects might be harsh, cause abnormalities. Seeing your world and life differently, Flowing through your brain so quick so swiftly. When your eyes dilate, you no longer procrastinate You get to pick between reality and your inner state. Seeing that the small things are what matter, Satisfying our thirst, for knowledge over matter. Because on drugs you might enjoy walking, You might enjoy smelling the grass or even talking Expressing your mind, reasoning a thought, And not being a cynics narcissist while you internally rot. The experience on it impairs your mind, And may leave you always behind Behind with love, adventure, and discovery Instead of hate, restrictions and agony. But drugs are bad kids don’t take my advice, the commoner lowlifes like us will someday pay the price. The price of thinking differently, and enjoying life, Walk this amazing world, with no need for strife. Drugs impair your mind kids they do, but what happens during them only chances what’s inside of you…

New Years Day The 1st of the Month Lent, Ash Wednesday I swear I'll give it up Maybe this Birthday When's the new moon? Start over every Monday I continue to throw up Perpetual sickness Never small enough At war with my body So many food groups to give up Dietary restrictions The socially acceptable excuse Undercover overeater Will I ever be good enough?

You are... Yellow flowers  in the spring and beautiful butterflies; Sweet enchanting whispers and lullabies. You are... The volcano ready to burst and the violent storm coming; Harsh feelings, stuck tears and angry words. You are... Inspiring, even though giving up has been an option some days; Courageous, cause you love without restrictions; Strong, you've fell and got up many times, bruised up, with broken parts; Beautiful, while smiling you light up death stars and complete my heart; Adorable, when you're telling a story and you can't stop laughing; Kind, you're kind, very kind, and sometimes too much. You are human, peanut. You're unperfect. You're you, and YOU is enough. Breathe in, breathe out. I believe in you, and so should you.

I don't like labels. Labels mean restrictions. *Oh, you want to do that? No no, you can't!* Labels mean expectations and Expectations means disappointment. Labels mean something has to be Ought to be Like this & not like that. We'd constantly be thinking if what we were doing Was what we should be doing. I like labels. Labels mean structure, And structure means order. If everything was in its place- Exactly as it ought to be- We'd be okay. We wouldn't have to worry about crossing over the lines That the world has drawn up against us. We'd know what to expect And what to feel.

EAST BOSTON, 1996 ON THE BUS Franz Wright It's one thing when you're twenty-one, and I was way past twenty-one. With unshaven face half concealed in the collar of some deceased porcine philanthropist's black cashmere rag of a coat, I knew that I looked like a suicide returning an overdue book to the library. Almost everyone else did as well, but I found no particular solace in this; at best, the fact awakened some diverting speculations on the comparative benefits of waiting in front of a ditch to be shot alone or in company of others, and then whether one would prefer these last hypothetical others to be friends, family, enemies, total or relative strangers. Would you hold hands? Or would you rather like a good **** sapiens monster employ them to cover your genitals? What percentage would lose bowel control? And given time restrictions - and assuming some still had the ability to move - would ostracism result? Anyway, I knew the rules on this bus. No eye contact: the eyes of the terrified terrify. Look like you know where you're going, possess ample change to get there, and don't move your lips when you talk to yourself: the destroyed and sick, the poor, the hungry and the disturbed estrange. The badly dressed estrange, even, and that is uncalled for. The degree of one's power to estrange will increase in direct proportion to the depth of need for others. Do not cry. This can only bring about, on the one hand, an instant condition of banishment from the sole available companionship, or on the other, a near fatal beating (one more disappointment). Just follow the simple instruction if you ever come here. It's easy to remember - any idiot can do it. Don't cry, the world has abandoned us.

This is my favorite dress. I bought it from a store I managed on Haight Street in San Francisco when I was 24. It was a sample, one of a kind and I felt like a fairy in it. It required no bra and I required no restrictions. We were a good match for each other. Some might say it looks delicate as the lace flutters around my thighs, but, I know. This dress sat on sidewalks chain smoking cigarettes in the Castro. It danced in drug induced trances with new and old friends where we lived like sardines. This dress moved to NEw York City with me and we endured cat-calls and harsh words. A casting director called me plain in this dress. He explained, to a room full of people, wasn’t it amazing how my talent shown so bright while I was so very plain. And as I walked along side Madison Square Park I saw myself shining in car reflections and my dress told me I was beautiful, and I knew it was right, and that man was insane. In New Orleans I was invited to a party and I went because I didn’t know anyone. I was New. I wore my favorite dress and as I put it on I thought of the cold California beach breeze grazing my underwear throwing up my skirt, I thought of that mad man calling me plain, and I thought how scary it is to go to this party alone. I rode my bike in the humid air and I felt my pink slip clutch my waist. I felt safe. I sang a song out load. I felt like me. And when I got there you were there. You looked at me like I wasn’t just my dress or what was under it. You told me one truth and one lie and it made me smile. And now when I turn to my favorite dress like an old friend, for comfort or confidence, you are in its history too.

All I want to determine, to think out, is your perception about Purity and cleanness. You could find so little written about them, even they should be most important part in someones life. Purity has many levels of existence : - Purity of heart - Purity of mind - Purity of body - purity of spirit - Pure aura/ energy As we can see they are all connected. Nowadays everyone want to be "pure" in one of these levels, but rarely someone think about all of them, as constant essence. You can't have so high level of purity of mind, heart and spirit, if you allow yourself to have any kind of "uncleanness" of body. That doesn't mean to not "take shower", even that is something too simple, missing from some part of humans...But it means - realize what harms your body and avoid it! For example smoking and alcohol and drugs, they all harm your entire body energy, that why if you want to be pure from outside, be pure also from inside! The sinful thoughts are also included, they can be avoid by participating in right and good activities, which decline your mind of them...For example, we cant expect from one smoker, or alcohol addicted person, to have full image of "good and bad" means "right and wrong" actions. What we see many times, is not what is the essence. We can see a beautiful woman, but she is nothing, if she is not pure inside. The energy of harm affect all parts, and one day she will wake up as a little monster...If she allows the evil to grow inside her. It's about all kind of restrictions - from harmful action. - nour- June-013

I don't know just where I am And I'm not sure just where I stand on things like life and romance I have some puzzles left to solve So many questions I want to be resolved But I know I want to live in this pretty blue barn I want to live with someone, to live in their arms I want to live in this pretty blue barn with all my paintings on the wall So many shades are all wrapped into one These open windows will let in the sun The future sits on the horizon, reminiscent of a sunset One of the most beautiful things that I've seen yet It offers clarity without restrictions I don't need prescription glasses to have a vision And I want to live in this pretty blue barn I want to live with someone, to live in their arms I want to live in this pretty blue barn with all my paintings on the wall I can see you standing in my doorway I can see you walking up the stairs Your bright smile can decorate the front room Your laughter echoed across the halls Do you want to live in this pretty blue barn? To live with me and to live in my arms? Can't you see me living in this blue barn with all my paintings on the wall Let me hang my paintings on our wall

Blue Barn
If you have just give a hint sweet, Steps you should take in the morning Now I do not aspire to incarceration, Come into my wings apart Under the shadow of thy arms I would thaw. Who would you say smile I would like to walk with you If the fault is in me somewhere I would like to change Bleached - Bleached Like Life, Might give you a sugar solution Break all restrictions, Come take hold, Take Anywhere Loneliness is the only one made me laugh, Loneliness is the same cry. Simply thought of seeing you, Did you shook me from myself Was slurred, but I was so long, There just would not handle Maine You would laugh that says, Would walk with you, If the fault is in me somewhere If the fault is in me somewhere I would like to change You are a happy tear, An awesome feeling What say you, for my sake, You do not breath the air Dear I agree, if you are with me Have written to you who mourn; All the pain is gone Are you in the shadows Now I would like to dusk every day with you. I'd laugh if you say so, I'd want to walk with you. If the fault is in me somewhere I would like to change.

If You Say (Tu Jo Kahe translation)
on this earth in this place things are used as strings for the puppet of the population the dancing marionettes to not think for themselves they believe what they are told to and do not question but questions are important they are a necessity to our very survival they want diversity yet persecute the truly diverse what thought is this that they believe they call for logic but do not use it they call for peace but start wars they plead for love but harbor hatred they demand equality and equal understanding for different opinions yet they do not accept those of the people who don't agree with them they call for rights then elect restrictions and immobilities into the office what is this thought what is this day that we must live in?
