"reunite" poems
Dear Unity,  be proud of the work you've done. Working day and night, leaving complaints to none. With your calm blue aura, full of peace. People from sadness and separation, you release. Dear Unity, extending the branches of your unifying tree, Watching over like a flock of birds flying free. Amalgamate the opposing forces of destruction and war, Spare them from the unnecessary deaths and gore. Dear Unity, reunite us with our long lost friends, So there will be happiness and laughter as broken hearts mend. Clear the miserable loneliness haunting around, And stop at no cost until the cure is found. Dear Unity, oh unity, our guardian angel in disguise, Getting rid of the hatred, betrayal and the emotion; despise. Dear Unity, you are all for one and one for all, Thank you for being there every time we fall.

Dear Unity
Excuse me, sir, your pants are on fire. Yes, i am talking to you, sir. This is quite a mess you have made, you starry-eyed dreamer. Not that it was perfect in the beginning. Nothing is. When my grandfather got old, he made sure to dress well. If he was to die on any given day, he intended to do it in his Sunday best. My grandfather died in a unisex hospital gown. When i was growing up, Mom always made sure i wore clean underwear. It would be shameful to die in ***** ones. Speaking of growing up, i was raised on Reaganomics. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you stand on these days, because Reagan defeated communism through the clever use of money. When my grandmother was set to pass, she faced the changing seasons with poise and dignity.  She was ready to move on, to reunite with loved ones lost. My grandmother died in a unisex hospital gown. My best friend, Peter, didn't put much stock in appearances. He was funny and sarcastic. We all loved him like a brother.  Peter's mom buried him in brand new Ecko gear.  He died in boxer shorts on the floor of a ramshackle apartment blue in the face from a ****** overdose. Thank god none of these people will ever need healthcare. Mr. President, sir, i am no Republican. i am an American. You do remember us, don't you? How silly of me...of course you don't. You were busy watching your legacy. i would have watched it better, if it had been my name at risk. My name is all i have. When Bill Clinton was president, he lied about getting a ******* But we forgave him. It was just a ******* It's not like it was our privacy or healthcare at stake. Or our economy. Have you dreamed about any of those things, sir? Or just your legacy? Who knows? How well do we ever know anyone? Christmas is right around the corner, and i and others have made you a fine gift, a lovely suit. It's invisible. You probably won't notice. No matter... one day you will have to remove your flaming pants. To try on your new suit. Or, god forbid, to put on a unisex hospital gown. And then you will finally see your legacy.

I fall faster than gravitational acceleration. Body jerks, vibrate like an earthquake. Body and mind go separate ways. Physical overcomes mental strength. Muscles gain strength. I can kick like an Ostrich. Dare not to touch me. Only I can reunite my body and mind. The reunion results in confusion. I get electrically shocked by migraines. The joy of the reunion is short-lived. I ask myself all the “Whys” in the world. Only God knows why. https://www.facebook.com/EpilepsyandCpfriends/

During an Epileptic Seizure?
Excuses, excuses - they'll come in a flood, When you realize your actions have pushed me away. Imagine! That I once considered you blood! But I've had quite enough of the games that you play. The switch came in stages, a gradual thing, I first didn't notice; it wasn't too clear. My perspective grew sharper with distance between, Felt your backhanded words as they pin-pricked my ears. You thought I wouldn't notice, would let it slip by, Never gave me much credit, and that was your fault. Wrapped your insults in jokes, like arsenic on rye, And you thought all this time that you wouldn't be caught. I don't know where you get it - this self-righteous act, It's not as endearing as you think it to be. You might take what you want, and then leave it at that, But I'm telling you now: you'll get no more from me. I don't know what has prompted you picking this fight. They're pathetic, yet hurtful, these things that you say. And I don't know where you think you've gotten the right To take it out on me when you don't get your way. For years, it's been happening - don't know how I missed All the ways you controlled me; I answered to you. Always did what you wanted, I'm realizing this; The extent of the selfishness you put me through. But it changed not too long ago, didn't it, dear? Oh yes, I grew a spine, and things started to change. And, oh, you didn't like what you started to hear. My defying your wants nearly made you deranged. People grow and they change; it's especially true For me ever since I was finally free. So how sad to discover it's not true for you, You're the same as you were, and as you'll always be. That's the person you are, who you've been since we met And it never caused issues until days of late. The things that you've said are things you will regret, Because I have no room for your envy-fueled hate. You've become quite the mean one - I'm sorry, it's true. You're no longer the person to whom I could turn. It's a shame (it's a **** shame), but yes, we are through. And it will not be me who is nursing the burn. Maybe one day you'll change, and we might reunite. I'm not getting my hopes up - there's danger in that. Until then, I hope you learn to treat people right, Because no one desires to stand by a brat. Maybe I am the first to address how you are, But I won't be the last, and this, I can assure. Your poignant self-righteousness won't get you far, And I'm sorry - for your case, there isn't a cure. So remember me now; you'll remember me then, When you lose all those who used to stand at your side. You'll remember the disrespect you showed your friend, For alas, she won't be there, holding you as you cry.

Sunflowers are filled with stories and power that no individual discusses. Therefore no one understand why I love them so much. Reminding me of early morning sunrises. The moment when the sun is just above the trees. With a hue so bright, they instill happiness into my soul. Growing so tall they could reach God, they cannot get enough of His love. They will never stop trying to reunite with their Creator because no one loves them like He. Representing the incarnation of Clytie over the loss of Apollo. They say the grieving of his absence brought her into her next life and now she only faces the sun, waiting for his return. I saw them as my sunshine. Their rays giving my spirit a new life. My source of nourishment, they were. Restoring my soul of the negativity I came across. The Apollo to my Clytie. I stood by for their return with hopes of their absence being make believe, knowing that they would never come again. According to most men, I already ask for too much. With efforts unnoticed and potential overlooked, I knew I was never appreciated enough to receive flowers. 53114

School has taught us much, Our friends were our teachers of life. The building was nearly a mold And our instructors are our vessels of knowledge. It’s time to move on. It’s time to say good bye to a trial And open our eyes to the final exam of time, Where none pass or fail, just seize the moment at hand. Years spent in books and homework Will test the knowledge you’ve learned in school. Life will test you in performance And performance will judge on experience. Be ready for a fight Because life won’t be easy. Several challenges it will be But together we shall triumph. Let us not be a burden But a blessing on a seed. That seed will grow into a tree And may that tree spread many more seeds. In the end, we will be together And reminisce on the years below. Let us be happy wherever we blow And blessed we shall be in anything we do.

Depart and Reunite
When you give a girl a dog you give her a best friend Her hand becomes forever intertwined with a paw She will rush home for school and run to hug her best friend As she gets older she will confide in the dog She will wait for her dog to be next to her before she starts crying When she cries she will only feel better when her dog rests their head on hers She will run to the dog whenever she is scared or sick She will find comfort in the dog when she panics Her dog will make everything seem better When the dog begins to get old she will refuse to believe it She will not accept that she will lose her best friend Until you come home and tell her she only has one more day She will cry and sit with the dog for hours She will spend all her money on treats for the dog the night before She will become numb to the world around her when she says goodbye She will want another dog immediately so she can try not to think about it She will refuse to think about it Until she calls out for her dog, her baby, her Pepper and does not hear the click of her best friend's nails on the floor She will wait for the barks that begin at 4:30 every night She will lay where she used to with the dog She will cry every time she thinks about her baby She will yearn for the barks that once annoyed her or the constant barks She will miss feeding her dog under the table Or the times when they would dance together The feeling of her thick fur under her hands Or the fur that would somehow end up everywhere She will feel as though there is no light without her dog But she knows that those 12 years 88 days were the best of her life She will never want to trade anything for that time The laughter through the tears when she finds an old photo will change everything She will remember that she shall reunite with her dog at the Rainbow Bridge

Glowing bright in the dark is the moon the half of the sun! The sun from the heavenly blue colour in the midday rose to bear the light and basks into the other half of the night. Goodness knows when but God willing the ancient bird of time once will fly. Numbering the numberless stars filling the one halve the half of the sky! Maybe each star is a shining piece of one half cut halve that's yet to reunite. As the cream always rises to the top and God promised the believers paradise. Perhaps then without cutting in a fraction, once paradise is packed with the folks of the good ones there will be no more partial decimals of the pi! I wonder then how will it look, a full moon picture? If then the forever intact paradise lends a mirror of the ‘immanent feminine’ In Shaa Allah God willing that will still be my better half!

Reunite At Last
When the skies and the grounds were one, the legends, through their twelve forces, nurtured the tree of life. An eye of red force created the evil which coveted the heart of tree of life, and the heart slowly grew dry. To tend and embrace the heart of tree of life, the legends hereby divide the tree in half and hide each side. Hence, time is over-turned and space turns askew. The twelve forces divide into two and create two suns that look alike into two worlds that seem alike. The legends travel apart. The legends shall now see the same sky but shall stand on different grounds, shall stand on the same ground but shall see different skies. The day the grounds be kept a single file before one sky in two worlds that seem alike, the legends will greet each other. The day the red force is purified, the twelve forces will reunite into one perfect root, a new world shall open up.

Reuniting With The Wash
Oh sleep, oh sleep! How I miss thee! If only I had not taken you for granted. I never feel as awake as when you are by my side, but when you're not close I fear I can't survive. When we reunite, you take away all my blues, especially in that deep sleep filled with dreamy hues. When will we meet again? I surely look forward to it!

A Short Ode to Sleep
Open your eyes Take in the world Is it not amazing What you never heard Of? You can see Open your eyes and be free Open your eyes Take a deep breath Let it all out and cry Look with those gorgeous eyes Now you can breath Open your eyes and sing You came to this world You are a gift from above You are a baby angel Sent to give us love Reunite our hearts It’s a brand new start There’s a whole life for you to see Open your eyes and be free Open your eyes Take in the world Is it not amazing What you never heard Of? You can see Open your eyes for me And be free Open your eyes Take a deep breath Let it all out and cry Look with those gorgeous eyes Open your eyes Laugh out loud Take a first step for me Daddy wants to see Open Your Eyes

Open Your Eyes: A Song To My Nephew
This poem is to My late brother, My best friend Who we use to plant Memories from the Past. We used to play,argue and fight We were Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Always known by a smile. But this world is crazy enough,it could Not been better to you,this is blasphemy But God could have given you another Chances to life, Death you should never be proud. Rest in peace brother. I won't count my tears They worth poppin' and fall. I can't bare this gaint pain in my Heart,and words can't spell it right. Dearest lives you left behind will Always adore you. Goodbye my friend,so Long,farewell,but it not The end of the chapter,i will see you Again in the after life,someday in Heaven we will reunite,the flash disappears But soul survive... ...Till next time,friend,farewell,Goodbye.

Rest In Peace My Best Friend
Through the white, beating Texan heat, water towers cry out titles high above the flat land where kids from the roadside houses run around in stained tank tops, dreaming of their own names up there. The long and burnt grass cuts their ankles and the dry cement scrapes their feet. The midday ritual begins in a racing circle raising dust over the roofs and into the shy afternoon. Around 5, the roadside families reunite in front of their houses to watch the daily traffic jam and observe the variety of faces through the glass windows, which after a short while do not seem to vary at all. But today, something else had their full attention. The sky was never seen this low and the clouds ​turned a shade of black so dark as to be almost green, so the eldest women on that single row of houses declared bad omen. The next early morning, the closest water tower laid gravely against the ground. Already, a small boy had climbed on top of the tank, soles bleeding, and waving ​his shirt into the wide clear sky. ©2018 Alex Bex - www.alexbex.net

Tweaker Tweaker Did you eat any dinner And Have you showered Tweaker Tweaker How long have you been awake When's the last time you had real sleep Or is everyday maintained W/ 10mins every half hr.

Did you finally get some sleep Were you able to escape the shadows and voices from in your head Tweaker no more Just admit This is the best you've felt Since your first time trying crystal   You feel human finally There's no going back To tweaker island You won't make it out The second time around So hide your very best Keep yourself busy And talk out loud When you feel like you Might relapse back into tweakers land.   With no chance to survive another night

to those who say suicide is selfish and cutting is pointless, understand you can never comprehend what they dealt with. you may say you have it worse than they did, on deeper levels that **** was well hid. somethings easy for you may be hardest for others. it's not easy to leave mothers, fathers, friends, and siblings. your strength my weakness, your weakness my strength those who suffer go through many trials of a never ending darkness. some wear their scars on their sleeves, others hide it tucked well deep beneath. help sometimes is not what they really need. I can assure you this wasn't a selfish and greedy deed, they loved you so much, more than you will ever know. sometimes in an ironic way, the better is finally letting go. whether you believe in afterlife or rather nothing at all remember the best of times, and for them stand proud and tall. their presence may no longer reside on our earth, but forever in our hearts and mindw they shall always remain. we will never fully understand and comprehend, but i know we will all reunite in the end.

ode to suicide
She brought me to the devil— swept the leaves off my brain & we jumped in the pile. After rolling a few & burning we bathed in wine washing our minds with chicken soup for the soul. He appeared in the stars & we smiled— absorbing his card through a lovely osmosis supposing the black roses hiding behind his back were cut by a queen of swords. We skipped roped w/ a noose cuttin’ loose our useless baggage by tossing them over a stony cliff. As the devil lit a cigarette s/he mumbled something about a conscious shift. The devil gave us a gift— It was a skull inside a prince’s disk shaped discus change purse. “I bring you death as a parting gift to show where to put the change.” We laughed & giggled as we played with plasma— that’s liked fire cubed.

Eighteen years have passed me I still marvel at picturesque clouds They pass us overhead, with grace, like the ground they face isn’t rotten. Find me that girl who smiles every day Exchanging her three am thoughts Into golden plated words that are beautiful They belong in her poems. Sadness stained cheeks covered in blush She’s so lovely, people think but she’s just glad her mascara is waterproof. My grandmother has dainty hands, unlike mine and I was jealous. until I realized that they were covered in blood years before I was born and knew what pain was, making a living and treating her blisters at the same time. Six children but it used to be eight before two passed away “Sofian, he died before your grandfather by a few years” Her heart broken in half and tears encrusted in her skin But she still has delicate and pretty hands right? People say they love one another, But I can’t even count the knives on their backs anymore, There are too many. When I find myself in solitude, I subsequently lose myself in thought. You know, I am ashamed. These angels that watch us every day I know they weep at our state And I am done pretending it’s fine. This is a world where the ground shakes in anger, The sky cries out of despair And the air thickens out of confusion I am all of nature’s catastrophies In the shape of a woman. You will see me in the corner Praying for lost souls Including my own Hoping that one day we’ll reunite in a place Where words don’t drip blood And authors find that writing is easier when happy But for now, we can’t get enough of pretending.

Summer would be the sunflowers seemingly blooming from beneath telephone poles as a reminder that love can travel upon the wires connecting long-distance lovers, the ropes that cling to trees as though reuniting after a twelve month absence as they bear the weight of two bodies more entangled in each other than the pattern of the hammock that they lie upon, the ice cubes that float atop the glass of sweet tea stealing quick kisses each time the glass is lifted as they melt together beneath the heat. Fall would be the leaves clinging to the tree limbs whispering secrets to each other as they flutter in the wind and change color according to the lovers that will one day float to the ground beside them, a calm pond reflecting former versions of couples who have always desired to know each other before their time of acquaintance only to realize they never existed until the day that they met, the stone path that weaves through a graveyard that has felt the light footsteps of paired souls wandering the grounds during midnight strolls. Winter would be the snowflake drifting in the wind quickly memorizing the patterns of each familiar one it passes in an effort to reunite with its match made in the heaven from which it has fallen, the steaming cup of tea that collects condensation in the hands of lovers who find solace in sitting upon their front porches when it's freezing, the parallel lines of sleds that have etched temporary tracks in the land as representations of the distance that once separated those who created them (but does no longer).   Spring would be the first sprout of the season persevering through the darkness of the soil and finally pushing through the light at the end to feel the warmth of the sun upon it, a bridge the connects flower-covered hills that houses the memory of two lovers who reunited after being apart for the winter, the daisy that he planted beneath her chest the night that he told her he loved her and promised to always water it.

I push with all my might, But my butthole's too tight. I'm up all night, Trying to conquer this fight. I keep thinking it's going to be all right, Stuck in a long plight. Through my sight, I see the brown and blue reunite. Kerplunk.

Almighty Push
When you're tucked into the corner of your bed kissing a girl, consider blasphemy. When you're picking flowers and spinning your lover in the grove, consider blasphemy. When your mother finds out and you are forced to leave her, consider blasphemy. When you have healed from your sins, come to the church and consider blasphemy. When you turn back to your sins, leave the church and consider blasphemy. When you get married to your wife and commit yourself to the sin, consider blasphemy. When you are old and on your deathbed, please, for the love of God, reconsider blasphemy. When you stop your breathing and reunite with your lover for eternity, disconsider blasphemy.
