"reveling" poems
Your eyes shine intensely So intense The midday sun seems so dark They possess This intense luminescence They tease me like a planet That longs to be explored I would telescope them As an astronomer admires the night sky Peering into them Looking to traverse through your mind Get lost within Reveling in the beauty that is such Stumble across the kind magnificence That is your gentle soul

Your Eyes. My Wonderland
She seems pretty queer Yes she does Something odd Something peculiar Is it in her insouciance Is it in her audacity Is it in her pirouettes Spun with such vivacity Is it in her defiance Is it in her nonrepentance Is it in her reveling so free A form full of glee Sometimes impetuous All times ingenuous Aflame with passion An immersive intoxication Cracking down on this mystery A perplexing dichotomy Let's remove the misfitting pieces In sync with commonplace notions Alas what dismantling of a girl at peace with her pieces What uprooting of a girl at home in her body

At Peace With Her Pieces
“Quiet, Caring, I think she sings? She was in the musical,” Everyone walks around so smug Binding themselves to egocentrism While I sit here A burden Wondering about the F L A V O U R Of confidence No one really knows me Writing me off Reveling in my Embarrassment Just because I don’t Go out, as much Just because I don’t Lift drinks to my lips Just because I don’t Open up to everyone I can’t take it I just want to write a letter To everyone, Saying: “Yes, I’m caring. I’m like a mother to most. Yes, I was in the musical. Ensemble, thank you very much. Yes, I sing. I love to sing; I’m going to college for it. However, I am NOT quiet; My friends would argue that. I’m not anti-social. I just don’t like this corrupt world. And finally, I’m loud. I am LOUD, AND I LOVE IT!”

I think sometimes We need to be a little adventurous Conquering that new horizon Letting go of your fear of the unknown Letting go of your fear of losing control Being able to revel in the new Reveling in the moment Tackling life Without fear And regrets

Adventurous
Basking in postcoital bliss, talking between the sheets catching our breath, giggling with laughter treats Laying in the afterglow, tangled in the sheets sweating cooling skin, and completing greater feats Blissful in post euphoria, feeling quite appeased finding comfort in warm arms, putting me at ease Still sighing, touching, tasting, nuzzled in content reveling in the splendor, our minds and bodies, spent Let me drink, this moment in, before we turn to clocks, wishing only to start again, as seconds ticking  mocks. Snuggling together, eyes and hands so locked wishing for ourselves, more hours, on the clock

Splendid aftermath (Collaboration with Temporal Fugue)
It is all I ever wanted With you To sit and wait In this crowded space Waving in vain To the waiter in distress And I crack up To calm you down No need to fret His smile tender Once we place our order. Between bites And overhearing The couple beside I bask In delight Eating My obsession While you carry on With the conversation. I pass by Quickly catching this sight I stand outside At at loss it is not I Savoring sushi at your side. I walk past all I ever wanted With you You sit inside Reveling in my sushi With another one than me.

From the ripple in a glass of water to the sonic boom of this internal Pompeii, the erosion of her etymology is the only sense of movement in her dilated, cave-pupil eyes, those two ghost towns spanning and encircling all the way back, stretched like an elastic blindfold past the moment the first brick was laid, perhaps her first vivid memory, or anecdote, or first word uttered in a Cuban slum. There are mountains of tumbleweed over the once thriving metropolis that expanded towards America; who threw herself into the architecture of seven pillars, borne from her land and minerals. Gone are the huts that housed her knowledge of basic motor skills. The women who once imagined Mami and Mima as her birth name now scrub off the graffiti of her excrement; they saw a swarm of pink moons the day she told the same story to every visitor that came their way, each day then becoming a missing surveillance tape, a sinkhole dismantling the awareness in her bones and stubborn will, until she became these dust-engulfed plains with a daughter and granddaughter archeological in their efforts to chase down the remains of a girl still breathing in those eyes from time to time. Every other ten-millionth blink of the eye rides the silhouette of a post-infant girl on the high tides of her quick visit, looking in horror as the nation of her life's nightmares, heartaches, broken promises, romances, spiritual breakthroughs, life-changing seconds drowns with morbid unity en cien fuegos, desperately attempting to assemble the remnants of her psyche past her cognitive bloodclots with the awareness of one who speaks no languages. Gone is the moment she first learned to feed her several children before the slip of sunset. One of seven pillars remain intact, the others long dismantled of their stick and straw infrastructures. One pillar remained, housed her own colony for nine months, and now both descendants travel the mind of their greatest influence with perplexed dedication, caustic humor the decoy for swarms of exhaustion and asphyxiation from the truthful atmosphere, reveling in the seconds of humanity lurking in an abandoned etymology.

I’m a kite Attached to a string Moments of freedom Reveling in the feeling of the wind Until a tug And a pull Keeps you in place Reminds me I’m not truly free Someone won’t you set me free? Someone won’t you help me? Loosen the string Loosen your hold So I can fly free Away from here Away from the string holding me here Let me be an untethered kite I could fly free Explore the world Bring joy With my flashy colors My vibrant patterns Instead I am under the control Of those who keep me Who decide when I have a few minutes Riding on the freedom of the wind I wish I had arms To reach down With a pair Of gleaming scissors To cut my tether I wish I had a voice To tell them what I want What I think Because they won’t listen Won’t pay attention To my relentless fight To my constant struggle Against the confines of my rope Won’t someone set me free? Can’t somebody help me? To become an untethered kite?

Untethered Kite
An artist, Bleeding his heart into the canvas Carefully planning his masterpiece Dutifully paying attention to every detail. Emotionally drained, Forced to finish his work Grueling over an uninviting crowd Helpless to the impending backlash Inspired, the artist continues Just to prove his critics wrong Knowing that his work will be amazing Loving himself even more Meticulously painting his beautiful image Never letting stamina get to him Opening his mind to a grand illusion Presented to him by an transcendent figure Questioning if what he saw was true Reveling in the moment of it all Slowly, the artist comes to a finish Trapping the moment inside of his easel Unveiling to the crowd was his final test Vociferously, he explained his masterpiece When all of a sudden, the artist begins to run Xenophobia had stricken him You now know why most artists are obscure. Zealous fans always ruin everything.

An artist (The ABC Poem)
My body is hungry for something more Than feather light touches And sweet kisses from soft lips. I want to be touched in ways only possible By a man of which a fire lies within. I need a passion so bright It blinds me of my surroundings, My only focus on his rough grasp Holding too tightly, for too long. I must know how it feels For the rough skin of his grasp To slide along my waist, Taking in all of me and none of me all at once, His only focus on my moaning cries of pleasure Seeping from my soft lips, Now burning and torn from being bitten And abused by his teeth. I crave in an uncontrollable way To know every inch of his body, How it feels crushed against mine, What their mouth tastes like And how much I enjoy reveling in it's kissing Of places no one's ever kissed but him, The feeling of complete intimacy As his tongue flicks delicately along my lips, Licking as my love flows from my wounds, Tasting my pain, feeling it too, Crying as one and I'm overcome By sensations only ever given to me by one, None other then him.

My Body Is Hungry
This cave is my sanctuary; cold, damp, filled with minerals and creatures. I sit cross legged peering out through the crescent shaped doorway mama nature has created. I have never been more at peace than I am when I’m here. The water crashes hard on the barnacle covered rocks beneath me. The mist from the waves whirls its way up to sooth my aching skin. The sea calls my name in the way that an angel calls you into the light. At first it’s just a delicate whisper. The voice is so charming and playful that it begins to lure me in. As i begin to drift further, letting the voice carry my thoughts, the waves pound harder and the symphony the sea has written me rapidly grows in volume and intensity. The tension becomes so strong that the sky starts to erupt. The clash of the clouds creates a prismatic light sequence leaving the sky looking magnificently iridescent. I sit unstirred, reveling in it's beauty. The sea is now agonizingly screaming for me to succumb to its cool paradise. For a while I just sit and enjoy the elegance of the symphony. Once the sky starts to lower its darkened veil, I know it is time to go. I stand up with more certainty than I had ever felt before. I slowly take three steps forward, embracing the feeling of the dirt in between my toes. Two long strides, and then I leap. The thick foggy air caresses my body as it swiftly careens downward. The symphony ends with a splash.

Seaside Symphony
In the amber sunroom the regal canary perches, Surveying his sun soaked kingdom from a golden throne, Positioned just below the thick wooden rafters... They might as well have been treetops. The weathered oak armoire below, their immovable trunk; The oversized tank, teeming with exotic fish, his ocean. Through the translucent shades, the engorged sun turns orange, And settles on the domes of the distant dragon trees. Soon the silver haired woman, with "dust in the creases of her face," Will open the arched doorway, and into the sultry Moroccan air he will spring Majestic yellow wings propelling him above the treetops, Diving towards his vast ocean, circling between the dusty antiques, Reveling in his glorious freedom, yet always returning, For that is only the penultimate pleasure of every evening; She will always call him home with the suculent scent Of a luxurious dinner: mango, pomegranate, and papaya. A sharp, tumbling trill disrupts his peaceful musing, A flashing crimson streak leaves a momentary swatch, Emanating from the open window, invading his territory and ending atop the amoire. He refuses to look at her, intent on maintaining appearances. She comes and goes so freely, innocent of any thoughts for me. Feathers ruffling with discontent; jumping, leaping without direction. Seeking the highest perch, closest to being free; only to be confined By the bronze rods of social correctness, locked with the brass clasp of my own fear. His little lion's heart becomes a battering ram, Smashing against the inside of his toothpick ribcage. Rapid fire thoughts soon dissolve in an attempt to compose A song that is worthy of her. And so he waits, and watches her turn, Red wings outspread, escaping back into the evening sky. That blazing orange ball, finally sinking beneath its own weight, And the failing strength of the mighty dragon trees, Now merely blackened silhouettes of their former glory.

You smile as you mentally slip on your disguise. You smile as you look deeply into their trusting eyes. You smile as you put into words all the things they want to hear. You smile with a voice that sounds so incredibly sincere. You smile while reveling in the fact that they do not have a clue. You smile because you know that they do not see the malevolent you. You smile so clever, so witty in addition, you pour on the charm. You smile since you have them convinced that you mean them no harm. You smile and begin to lose sight of what is reality and what is a lie. You smile at your power to always make them cry. You smile as you continue to play not caring that it is a sick, twisted little game. You smile knowing that when you are through you will not even remember their name. You smile as you realize that you own them body and soul. You smile at their ignorance thinking to yourself “You fool, how could you not know?” You smile as you continue ******* every bit of life out of them. You smile as you zoom in on and start stalking your next impending victim. You smile as you move on feeling no guilt or remorse and certainly without a care. You smile as you take all your ill-gotten gains with you back to your lair. You smile with conceit and arrogance, “This is a game I always win.” You smile and laugh aloud assured, that you will get away with it again. You smile ……….

You Smile ..... (In the Mind of a Psychopath)
Schwinny, Baby, You were supposed to be my Bicycle. So I don't ask for anthing special. No dark Harley divas To whisk me off into the sunset. But I thought we were at least On the same road together. So please. Don't go droaning on how Life got too complicated. I mean, You've got one flimsy gear. And don't go moaning how The road got too bumpy. I mean, You went blind bonzai batshit over burnt black tar pavement. You just Let go. Threw away your Chain of reasoning Faster than I could brace for impact. So am I bleeding? Yeah, I'm bleeding. And the worst part is, I still need you! No, No, no. Not like Pom Pom pammy Needs her purple-plated pogo stick Nor like Princess Paris And her prissy pink prom queen limo, No. I mean I need I need you like Alibaba needs his golden cherub camel, Like Ben Hur his crimson-fury chariot. Because work is 37. Blocks. Away. And it starts in 16 minutes. And the bus is really unreliable. So we ride again, Guts against the wind. But now I've got all ten fingers and toes Crossed, Two by two, And point in fact, Racing down Guadalupe with Forked Philanges Gets really hairy. But your suicidal tendancies simply scare me. Your thirst to incur first degree burns, Fractured femurs, And flayed skin whittles my patience To tire track thin! Think I'll Roll my dice with a Segway. She'd be a quaint, play it safe kind of girl. Type to show off To a Mom and Dad Reveling in rosemary jubilation. Aw, son. We knew you'd land a keeper. That's my boy. But in ten days tops, I'd begin to miss your fiery imbalanced breath. I'd yearn for your bipolar 180 turns that Make my heart skip that terrible, syncopated beat. So let's just say, I'll give it one more shot. But ***** just promise you'll stick around a little longer. It's storming outside and We both got a few blocks to go.

We are all animals of a baser kind elementary creatures, reveling in our complexity an assembly of simple machines, each playing part in an inseparable chorus of flesh and ego Boastful beings, claiming we are contrived by gods fashioned from particles, or the dust of dead giants though truly, we are merely creations of vanity and chance the eyes of a universe looking back upon itself in awe How grand and vain, this cosmic mirror! ****** upon eyes that only stare in wonder*

Inception
There's an architect designing the world from the skyline downwards, as he believes himself to be a God The paraffin lamps on Victorian cobbled corners are as dry as the seraph in dust bowls over some arid sea A portrait exists, of a town covered in mist and the orange cliffs are a thousand bloodied wrists Somewhere music plays to ghosts, obtuse reverberations of some cave on a mountain... or something and what a useless skill it is to be a poet, flouting fanciful words as if a single soul cared or could possibly muster anything more than unadulterated apathy What a lonely life it is, to spend entire days watching *********** and reveling in dissociative stoicism Watching cam girls for hours on end, swept up in conversation yet never taking part, only watching They seem as lonely as anybody, holed up in crimson rooms as anonymous DJs play through laptop speakers Fielding obscene questions with a smile and renting their body in timetables to the highest tipper and some days the depression becomes so heavy that ************ seems impossible, though it's possible to blame such scarcity on the anti-anxiety meds that have ruined so many-a youthful folly Is there a more flattering notion, than a story teller being commended for honesty when every word is a lie Fictional accounts of melancholic lives told in a pulchritudinous verse or a prose of the most regal purples Using nothing more than psycho-stimulants and a smeared bedroom window for inspiration There's a writer sat at a desk, typing ridiculous lines of text, as he knows himself to be human and in that humanity he strives to create a realists interpretation of existence through scattered memories and derivative styles of his favourite authors whilst using educational texts as footnotes in imaginary diaries

Bring to me a strong *** By which my soul's sorrow will be forgot: Filled with an ****** divine So that Woman may be driven from my mind. For I no longer want This stream inspiring a heartly haunt, That once flows will not stop 'Til my heart's blood drains to its last drop, And so drained, then breaks. Leaves me with an art held for its own sake. So bring me forth this draught, Deepest as ever one from Lethe quaffed. From my broken heart charm This fair Image of the earth's Fairest Form That ever my heart has held, That ever my reveling heart has swelled. Alas, seems never shall be My mind's eye, my heart, my soul ever free Of this tort'rous torment. Left with naught to do, only lament. Away I cannot chase The mind numbing beauty of her face. 'Tis all in vain it seems For such a draught appears only in my dreams. My sight did so invest, Bringing damning pain abreast. No longer can delight Be brought forth from sights seen in any light. Had she only known how My heart, once free, only beat for her now And with but a smile Assuaged that murd'rous pain but for a while I would then know relief, That most bittersweet pain, the "joy of grief."

Everything Forgotten is Never Truly Forgot
Fill for me a brimming bowl And in it let me drown my soul: But put therein some drug, designed To Banish Women from my mind: For I want not the stream inspiring That fills the mind with--fond desiring, But I want as deep a draught As e'er from Lethe's wave was quaff'd; From my despairing heart to charm The Image of the fairest form That e'er my reveling eyes beheld, That e'er my wandering fancy spell'd. In vain! away I cannot chace The melting softness of that face, The beaminess of those bright eyes, That breast--earth's only Paradise. My sight will never more be blest; For all I see has lost its zest: Nor with delight can I explore, The Classic page, or Muse's lore. Had she but known how beat my heart, And with one smile reliev'd its smart I should have felt a sweet relief, I should have felt ''the joy of grief.'' Yet as the Tuscan mid the snow Of Lapland dreams on sweet Arno, Even so for ever shall she be The Halo of my Memory.

Happy Birthday Jean-Paul Sartre
A single light fractured into a billion shards of bright white energy fall like raindrops of golden emotion to the Earth. All things under the sun, sewn of the same silk and molded of the same clay. All pumping life through roots embedded in soft flesh. Consecrating acts of love, hate, and whim for they all flow from the same spring, reveling in the fact that one exists exactly as nature intended.

Deep out on the rim of the galaxy there lies a tiny place that no one knows about. It’s the place where all good things come from. All the generations of and for love and kindness and bliss and forgiveness root at its source. It is the ultimate destination among our solar heavens. Try to imagine a lost vessel, isolated and tired, hiccuping between the suns, then finding the Great Milky Way's secret place of joy. Our undisclosed place of love. The place we all forgot. Earth. These occupants of the ship would be lost to reveling at our earthly capacities for tenderness. OH, the total bliss they all must feel! Ahh, be careful now you. I've gone and caught you being optimistic. Try to remember this solid truth. Equally hidden in the stars, there is a place of evil. One where the tempted souls and sinners place their geneses. A place of desperation and angst and fear and segregation. There is always a little a yin to the yang. There is no one with out the other.

Our Little Secret
*Glitzy gowns, crisp suits Dainty personalities, well-groomed gentlemen The crème de la crème of society Poised reveling in an aura of importance Flex their financial muscle In the name of philanthropy. Handing out gifts to hoi polloi Their hands gloved Smiling from ear to ear Their noses twitching Apparently un-accustomed to the “smell” of poverty Has poverty…a smell? Self-aggrandizement overwhelming their souls Having warmed the hearts of the downtrodden It’s a deal…sealed Effortlessly*

Opaque Transparency.
A palpable discord keeps me turning all through the night until the late rays of Sun shine by again I want a dreamcatcher Feathery-spider web- To keep my hypnagogic rest sacred to me And then I can wish him closer... Without a separating sea I reserved my sleep to calmer nights where my dainty ribs caressed an incense-ridden wind My dreams are a shade happier than me I found my wrists bedecked in fine jewelery There's no chiming of antique clocks in my sleepy subconscious knots. My eyes were not corrosed over so when he spoke I comprehended with crystal orbs I'd hoped I find him through disheveled bedsheets under the waxing moon... It illuminated my skin and sent me soundly reveling in the hazy countenance To me he's Elvis' love child He's a wish fulfilled to me I discovered an idol I write letters, coveted, held close I worship what I know of him My thoughts are almost this tangible-thing like a rope I could grab and make a knoose out of perhaps it's time to slay the golden bull I struck his wayward glance by some silver spring of snow He's travelled to the ruins of cathedrals with chipped limestone on the doors arched-shape... darkness on the otherside... Mother Mary follows, walking through some threshold hallway Crooked stem, bent leaves... A pruned up crackled rose for me to eat Those eyes... dark brown, almond-shaped Squinty with sparrow-feet I'm waiting in the mountains Clouds covering my eyes Ocean blue in the stark sunshine blinding me and enveloping me when the music dies

And can you believe, The horrible glee With which his lips licked. Dreaming-- carcass picked, Reveling wholly. Dismissing Holy Enlightened beings, Sinking in Needing. Black black smack, alack! I'm a crack-gack hack! Or, mayhaps, I'm not? Or, perhaps, just caught, In nauseous verde waves Of fanciful raves-- Rants all entertained-- I say makes me drained. Baudelaire's half-baked, Chatterton-- cracked Morally, sorely Standing half-poorly But standing up still, Avoiding the thrill Of desert mirage, It's poison barrage!
