"roughest" poems
Your seething tides churn in my mind As my shaky hands subside And though love can be caustic, You are sweet-tempered. Your voice could calm even the roughest storms. I wish I had enough time in the day to tell you of how many times you've kept my heart beating Or of all of the times you've interrupted the steady streams of woe escaping my bloodshot eyes All without even trying. I wish I could thank you for holding my hand while I puked up roses, and drying my eyes when I choked on the thorns.

This was titled “To My Soulmate” but that guy was a ****
So breaks the sun earth's rugged chains, Wherein rude winter bound her veins; So grows both stream and source of price, That lately fettered were with ice. So naked trees get crisped heads, And colored coats the roughest meads, And all get vigor, youth, and spright, That are but looked on by his light.

So Breaks The Sun
There’s a smile on my face today And it’s all because of you You’ve shown me love these past years You’ve helped me make it through I’ve had some rough days here And been depressed very much But when I come over and see you My depression disappears with your touch You provide me with hugs And sometimes kisses too You take my mind away from reality And all the stressful things I have to do You always can make me smile Even in the roughest days I’ve never been sad around you You just seem to have your ways You’re an angle sent from heaven Up there from far above Counting me as part of your family And showing me all your love I’m thankful for our time together And our wonderful friendship too If ever you need anything in life I hope you know what to do Just simply pick up your phone And dial my number fast When it rings I’ll pick up And I’ll be there in a blast I’ll show up for fun Or support if needed too Your family has brought the best to my life Seriously it’s the least I could do. I love you all so much With all of my heart And just wish life Would not pull us apart

I'm Happy Because of You
It’s been said to cause success, Yet its’ face is boldly grim. Some even say it makes or breaks you, Kills your soul, or fills the brim. It’s been deemed the roughest test, Where preparation meets implausible. Whenever passion makes a breakthrough Sounds of hell’s end become audible. It’s received reviews of stress, Of endless torture tearing through. Leaving good men self-departed, For they had no will to make it through. It’s been seen in years of the past, The trials of Job denote it well. As Satan crushed his joys, Job consummated to prevail. It’s been said, “show no regret!” When you look deep into your mind, For this test is truly an artist Creating a man, from pure divine. So why let discouragement corrupt Your trip through the abyss? For it’s been said to cause success, And that’s one hell of a gift.

Adversity
Every morning is an outcome of a dark night, Keeping this hope up, I'm still standing in the fight. I feel complete when you are start and end of my day, Without you around, I'm simply fading away. When people raise their finger on me, To you, I desire to flee. When I'm judged, misunderstood, accused, In your light, I want to be fused. I accept that I am not a good person, So what? I'll be given scars in black, red and crimson? I am suppressed the every single time, Is it always my crime? How for them it can always be so fine? Can't they see me, feel me, ever whine? I just want to be happy, feel the breeze with a smile, I want you to hold my hand, in this meanwhile. My disability to express what is inside, In my life, is bringing the disastrous tide. Today I feel, the solution is to end this, Maybe peace comes, when heaven gives me a kiss. I am into this turmoil, Where are you? Come wrap me in your foil. Take me into a different world, Then all the sadness in trash will be hurled. When one feels alone in crowd, Because of the pain, one wants to shout out loud. When moonlight becomes the brightest thing, Somebody else of your life becomes the king. Maybe it is the most beautiful scene, But how can you expect love from the mean? Is it right to always in the flow yourself to blame? I swear, Life! is the roughest game. My mistake, I am not able to determine, Perhaps this is what is making them win. My tender age, my shaken phase, Makes them think I am an easy chase. Nothing is capturing my mind, Now is when I want you to come and (me) find. Only you can lift me from this situation, I want you. For this I've no explanation. You're that invisible power, the magic, The only one that can take away all that is tragic. Nobody knows who you are, including this heart, But I so wish to be on your priority chart. What goes in me, one fails to understand right now, I want answers to what, when and how. What is keeping me so down? When will they stop wearing my life's crown? How cannot seeing all of this, I now frown? I want to end this in any way, In between emotions, I no longer can sway. For myself, I want to breathe once, God helps all and not just nuns. Shower your blessing on me too, You're not God, so to reach you, there's no cue. Just lift me once, high enough, so they can see, That I am happier when set free!

TRAPPED - Set me free!
Every morning is an outcome of a dark night, Keeping this hope up, I'm still standing in the fight. I feel complete when you are start and end of my day, Without you around, I'm simply fading away. When people raise their finger on me, To you, I desire to flee. When I'm judged, misunderstood, accused, In your light, I want to be fused. I accept that I am not a good person, So what? I'll be given scars in black, red and crimson? I am suppressed the every single time, Is it always my crime? How for them it can always be so fine? Can't they see me, feel me, ever whine?

The day shook itself, sniffed the air and sprinkled sunlight on my face I woke,washed,said grace and breakfasted on hand caught trout, which had rested in my summer house down by the lake. I took a moment to spread my eyes and fell upon this freshly fried and salted feast I had made from scratch,as indeed I had made the thatch which kept the house cool in the middle of the noon. Very soon, my roving mind opened up to find a trial to test and undertake,would I bake some bread for the later evening meal? In my zeal I did not see the winter creeping up on me,before I passed two more full noons the moon had shed its happy mood and food was in a short supply. I used to cry at this awesomeness that left me in an awful mess, but I learnt to do and mend and tend what needed tending to and now the summer's through,my larders full of food enough to see me through the roughest stuff,that the season which is about,will throw at me. I see an end,a beginning too,the stories we are told run through the central core, we want ,then we must do much more we need, and what is needing for? but to fill our fears with sand and stand alone with bellies full of stone,solid,stolid in the thick of things that seasons change to bring we fend off everything that hurts the soul, and in the maypole time when spring is feeling kind of fine and the larders bare, Mother nature's there to fill it up again. A bit more planning a bit less pain less to lose and more to gain the same each year as it has been for ever.

Life is all about sorting through endless puzzle pieces Keeping the ones you find fit And simply tossing the ones that don't belong But sometimes it's not always that easy We get confused and overwhelmed when too many pieces are being thrown at us at once We might accidentally toss a good piece away not knowing so Or when a piece doesn't fit Sometimes we turn and angle it in just about every way possible Until we finally discover that it just does not go there And the previous pieces we had in place sometimes shift and become distorted with time Which makes them change and no longer fit in the places they originally belonged So life consists of a constant fluctuation between gain and loss It's just the way it goes If you can search deep enough and find those rare puzzle pieces that are permanent Constant figures that don't change Those are what can help you build the rest of your puzzle But if you're constantly gaining and losing without any foundation No permanent pieces You might as well be running around in circles But then again There's not much else to do until you find that foundation you're looking for Some people run in circles all their lives Others are lucky and build complete masterpieces of their puzzles But don't give up looking Those pieces are out there It's exhausting and you have to be determined It's easy to lose yourself when you become so tired that you can't tell the good pieces from the bad You might start building off the bad Thinking that you're getting somewhere And then one day you wake up and all those pieces are gone And you're left with nothing And have to start all over from scratch That's when it gets to it's roughest point But you have to keep building Trial and error You have to learn along the way Get to know yourself I know that sounds clichè But it's true A lot of people don't know who they are or what they want If you're one of those people Play around with a combination of pieces Fit them together and see what you like The worst thing you can do is lie to yourself You'll never get anywhere that way Lying means you're choosing all the wrong puzzles Take what you like Put it together Be aggressive Be you

On the paint chipped pavement we went over the rules: NO cherry bombs, NO bobbling, NO lower-ballers, spin-tops, chalk walkers, twenty fingers, and especially NO  skyscrapers. So for a few minutes we played as raw as apple skin knees, it was the roughest, toughest, hard-nosed game of four square any fourth grader has ever seen. But it was all over when someone crossed the line. There was fussing, cussing, and an accusation of the mustnt’s. Eyebrows adjacent, we argued and clawed like kilkenny cats, we were breaking rules, we crossed the chalk. We took sides and worst of all, the one crucial act that we regret, we slammed the ball down. It towered overhead like window washers and landed on the school’s roof. We stopped arguing. Nobody won that day.   © Matthew Harlovic

Turns out the King of the Projects couldn’t even tie his shoes. Couldn’t draw or make love. Hell could barely even read and definitely didn’t know how to sing the blues. Turns out the King got his crown after two and half games of basketball on the weedy court at sundown the day before his tenth birthday. Turns out the King was the roughest, toughest, scabbiest fourth grader in the whole **** grade, raised from good Somalian stock and willing to sucker punch kids darker than he. Turns out the 4 ft 5 King of the Projects stood mighty tall over the class pet ferret, ephemeral creature of habit, watched the rodent with eyes peeled as if the two shared the same beating heart boombox. As it turns out, every day at noon we had music but the drums were always taken by the King who pounded a steady beat to the shake shake shake of the music teacher's 'script of benzos, eyes still glued to the ferret, seeking a ritualized dance. Turns out the class pet escaped last week. Turns out the King stopped coming too. Shame really. As the teacher, I felt I had to have something to say to him. Turns out I was just as scared as he.

King Of the Projects
***Clear your hazel gaze; you are completely submerged in an underwater paradise, suspended in the motions of the current. No, you're not drowning, I've given you enough endearment & sustenance for you to breathe on your own- even in the abyss of my oceanic heart. Of course, you always knew you could dear. So smile & sail along the swaying tides of teal, graze my shipwrecks with your gentle hands & kiss along my roughest of reefs. Find a mermaid with an elfish face, maroon hair & red lips to taste. Feel no limitations of world above the surface, staying in this place with you forever would be oh-so perfect. The albatross of our concrete lives, lived out in cities made of glass and steel, would never be found in a place such as this- we are forbidden to sustain ourselves through more of such unhappiness. For down here, we simply float on.   We can get high in the waves, and sing all of your songs. For the water lifts all the worries we may have, in times when we are not strong. You dove into me, simply chipping away at the stoical walls I've fashioned over time. The fortress comparable Alcatraz, I built to keep my demons in and every single soul out. But you, the flighty sea spirit (believe me we are birds of a feather), made your way to my castle among the waves; soaring over all misconceptions & doubts.***

Breathing Beneath (You Dove Into Me)
Glimpse of hope Through those washed eyes, As I envisage us surfing The roughest of tides, A million waves crash, Heavily into my chest, Because I'm afraid I'll drown in a sea Of emotion because You're the ocean, And I'm just a stone.

she paints ugly things in pretty colors she runs with the devil and whispers with the saints she is a good girl in bad times she's a angel in disguise you can find her riding shotgun in the roughest part of town you can find in her the softest heart she is a flower blooming in a field of thorns she is a woman to be reckoned with and a force of nature to be feared but she will always be kind and gentle she paints ugly things pretty colors and gives them happy homes she really is an angel in disguise

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that of the hurricane. Tumult whispered white, both Aeolian and corporeal, strummed on strings of solemnity; the ugly undertaker of buried roses labeled as wary victims of feel-good graverobbers. All bled emotions are this. The Louvre's flashbulbed flecks; the notes woven within coke lines of symphony; fingerpainted twig-men crafted by bright-eyed smilers; this juxtaposed disgrace. All Beau Sancy in the roughest granite jewelry box with graffiti scribbled laughing like urban Sanskrit . "I am become death" dripped in blood through the keyhole so it now mimics a cherry popped in microwaves unlocking discomfort, yes, and crimsoning the cocoon of the diamond. Peep, Tom, at the glittering Godiva within and watch her grow in the sacrifice of poetry, for only in the presence of forsaking and death and anguish and discomfort and pain can she grow to break the eggshell walls. Tears cut canals in Time's beard because he consigned the memory of the shattered horrendousness to oblivion instead of honoring their homage and paying respect by dropping tulips and gunships into their graves at noon's meridian. Opal eyed reader, you do not understand. My eggshells conceal themselves within individual hells of purple prose, more of a lavender in my eyes. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Beauty
In this place full of preferences I be the despicable one To who wants someone like me I can't find I don't know many who would date This kind of black guy Or so the excuses go on But I myself shun the gavel For I repel the attraction of the darker brown It's frowned upon But past experiences give me a shivering nostalgia So be in and out the gruesome Actually It's actually nasty I lost hope in people When I found out I was ugly Because I have gap teeth And god don't like ugly Words I didn't understand Sent me in a negative spiral to place where i hated people's faces And every other man In many places Of many spaces To the old proverb Don't judge a book by its cover But I see so many random faces To read the proverbial book What my eyes seek some say Condescending it may Be seen right betwixt A rock and a hard place Still running in place To make haste and waste the meaning of what it is to taste Now I see we live in side the belly of a beast And the roughest of diamonds deposit gold into the tree where only the tall can reach,but tell the short not to touch And two birds in the bush is worth viewing than the one you can touch Through the plot and good intentions scheming   Am I a decent human being

I get these headaches that start right behind the middle of my eyebrow, swoops down into my nose and then swings up and pings off my forehead. They call them “sinus headaches.” The word sinus in italian means canals. And when I think of that, I can’t help but think of little gondolas with Italian men singing to me as I look at the stars. It doesn’t make the headache go away but it really makes me wish I were in Italy. It’s funny how when things get rough, we instantly gravitate towards escaping to foreign lands. A headache certainly isn’t the roughest it could be, that’s for sure. But escape…that’s a double-edged sword. Escape isn’t what it promises. While the idea of sipping pina coladas poolside, or meditating in a forest far away may seem like perfect, what does that really resolve? It means that whatever made you leave is still waiting for a resolution. Even worse, it probably grew in size. Bills become bills plus interest and late fees. Arguments turn from “how dare you say that?” to “how dare you leave after saying that?” When you leave, you leave behind a mess with the assumption that others will take care of you, but instead, frustrations rise and you break ties. Whenever I get sick or nauseous, I immediately start thinking of my own personal Nirvana. I visualize the image of myself in this beautiful place relaxing and breathing in that maple tree air and hearing the river waves around me. That’s nice, right? And that’s ok. I think we’re all allowed our mental escapes once in awhile. But actual physical escapes? Those hurt others. And no amount of river wave will fix that.

Like a soldier standing strong in my composure Your gimp with a crippled posture Im a killer with compassion Compare me to a flower full of venom Beautiful till i take hold and paralyze your emotions Break down what you are To over power you as a person Step out of line Ill smash you to pieces Talk **** out your *** But i can read faces Dont try to overcome me Just embrace the opportunity To be in my presence as requested and respect my punctuality Because its just proper etiquette Eat what i feed you Just remember my warnings Try to become me and fail Its just in my genes To be toughest, roughest, and hardest Make my friends list Your covered, no matter the situation Even in a war of wrong reason Ill fight for my brothers Who can prove their allegances

today I realized that I'm perfect with who I'am atlast in my life I know who I'am What things im good at and what I need to work on IM NOT PERFECT infact im fragile and weak I'm scared of knowing so much about myself It's the truth I KNOW who I can become either good or bad I know what the future holds for my good decisions or my bad If only today myself could talk to the young boy who struggled so long trying to be someone he was not. I'd tell that boy to not follow the crowd that he thought was so cool That to listen to your mother to stay away from the drugs even if the other kids called him a loser for not playing along The really unique kids are the ones who dont follow the normal teenage rebellion the real rebels are the ones who study hard hang out alone and even wish they could go out and get hammered drunk and puke everywhere or sleep with a random girl not for love but just for *** But they dont I want to tell my rebel self to be a true rebel like those kids the kids who later on in life will have money to go out and enjoy the things I enjoyed as a rebel teenager to be able to hang out with there grown up friends and to fun doing grown up things. Instead I'm a 24 year old sandwhich artist the teachers always said keep partying you'll look back and regret these days I told them they'll regret saying that when I make it big years of writing years of sitting up late with a bottle of ***** and a lit cigarette like my life a long ash forms off the cherry as it burns waiting for the whieght of itself to break off. I KNOW who I'am I'm a voice for this plugged in generation I'm the sticky **** on the bottom of your shoe I'm the viper in a room full of gardner snakes I'm the demon with a halo a hybrid of a soul hell hound instincts but a butterflys swagger soft but hard sweet but sour I'm the reason for a middle im the reason why things stay balanced for not for people like me the Balanced the Beaten the hardened and the Understanding the Counter Attack the person who has seen the roughest parts in life has been down to pennys to his name Im here to tell you dont give up because even during the rain the sun can shine those days amaze me when its pouring but sunny Does it make since no but do we watch in amazement when it happens yes That my friends is me thats who I'am

A woman receives a blossom of the one meant for her but once. But I, like heroine of ages past have not one love but two. Just as a mother loves both her children but in differences and personality so do my loves vary so like the flower and the **** The **** feisty and strong in nature blooms from the cracks in broken roads unwilling to die or burn from the Sun's heat beautiful to no other eyes but mine. It grows in the roughest of spots and yet your appeal blinds me the hardy soul who touches mine own yet a flower be you still. Daffodils, daisies, beautiful and stout The other a flower of delicateness thin little petals unfurling in a *** nature at its most gentle to be easily torn and ripped to shreds. Beauty is obvious in truest form much love is needed to keep you well the water of the heart dribbling from the brook to make you flourish. Can I not keep you both to me to keep your loves in my vase on the window to display all those perfections to the earth and to keep you both in my arms? No, it will never be so simple, will it? So I must choose to survive I know not to choose rashly but, conflicted of mind, I stare deeply into the garden...

We don’t smoke Marijuana We don’t take our trips of LSD We like to just live right here Where the air’s fresh and life is free We don’t make lovin’ to make a party We don’t need to get with to get some fun We just prefer to hold each other’s hands And go fishing in the sun We don’t go round bare-chested We don’t wear skimpy clothes Roman sandals are a nada Leather boots are still à la mode We don’t need to go out getting drunk Here even Squares can have a ball Going to the shops is still an event White lightning’s still the biggest thrill of all Down here football’s the roughest sport Long, shaggy hair definitely won’t be seen A large patch of open land is our campus And Kids down here respect the village dean So please forgive me if I don’t understand Forgive me if I feel a little out of place I’m just proud to be an Oakie from Down there we slow the pace. Yes I’m just an Oakie from Muskogee Yes I’m proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee

I’m Just an Oakie from Muskogee
For you I'd climb the highest mountain I'd sail the roughest sea But when the sun sets in the west I'm not sure you'd do the same for me

Loyalty
It’s been a while I forget how beginnings go I’m so eager to start running that I forget to tie my shoe laces Maybe that’s why I’ve never won a race I couldn’t remember how to start and I didn’t bother taking the time to learn again So once I skipped right to the middle, throwing in all the ingredients, trying to bake something without even bothering to look at the measurements Too much contact, not enough connection The ending came too quick And i was left with a mess i’m still trying to clean up I’ve found myself facing never ending beginnings Where you’re left hanging onto anything because it’s just about to happen, like the tempt of a sneeze But all you get is teary eyes and wasted tissues I’m a collector of stories And I’ve only ever found pieces and rough drafts I’m not sure how beginnings go, or how the threads would unravel into a book Because all i have is my patch work quilt of Once Up A Times and Middle Chapters Maybe You’ve had a beginning, middle, and end before But by the time you’ve reached the end and found yourself facing another beginning You might forget how they go too Maybe it’s been a while So let’s paint a picture There doesn’t have to be any rules or guidlines We’ll paint ourselves a sunrise A perfect beginning Because as it comes up, even the Sun isn’t sure of what it’s about to face And we can paint ourselves a river With whirlpools and rocky edges Stretching far and long Because our middle will have power to split mountain ranges and the strength to make it through the roughest terrains Let’s curl up under blankets with flashlights Cause the world is a dark place and I’d much rather stay here and make forts out of sheets, where the only demons we’ll find are shadows cast from out flashlights I’ll whisper you lullabies, just promise to keep holding me tight Babe with you here, my universe doesn’t need to be anything bigger than this mattress I’m a collector of stories But i’m not quite sure how to write one So let’s stay here and not think about endings I’m not sure how they go And i’m hoping i won’t have to know for a while

Shoe Laces and Flashlights

Love me. Praise me. Fear losing me. Tell me, if not else, that I am all you see. Crave me. Want me, forever and always. Make me feel important in all your able ways. Seek me in your sleepless hours of night or moments of bliss or tormentous plight. Journey the roughest or smoothest of roads Share with me, always, all of my loads. For sometimes, I'll be right, and seldom be wrong But still I want to be your heart's only song. Despite subtle danger, you must be beside Me; stay with me, my love, wherever I hide. Remind me so often, how much me you love As though I'm a blessing from heaven above *For you are my blessing from heaven above. I'll remind you, so often, how much you I love. I'll stay with you, my love, wherever you hide. Despite subtle danger, I must be beside, You, who I want, you are my heart's only song. Though sometimes you'll be right, or seldom be wrong. I'll share with you, always, all of your loads; Journey the roughest and smoothest of roads. In moments of bliss and tormentous plight, I seek you even in my hours of night. You are so important, I show you this way. I crave you. I want you, forever and always. I tell you, if not else, you are all I see. I love you. I praise you. I so fear losing you.*

My Kind of Loving
Down from the icy Sawtooth crags and through the winter-laden landscape, the wind eventually dips to the canyon and creek we loved so well as children. Continuing on, it threads through the hollows above the creek, sculpted even today by stooped cottonwood trees. Twisting above granite outcroppings and lava boulders, the wind courses through the giant arteries of this canyon, passing among quaking aspen, river willow, and gnarled cottonwood, shorn rudely by now of every dryly-veined leaf. At ancient volcanic escarpments the wind bears south, scraping hard along canyon walls. Upward it moves, out of the canyon, slowing and sallying about the hillocks, the gullies, the poplars until it finally comes to stir ever more gently, warmer even, my dear brother, around your gray marbled headstone. Primeval of days, this very same wind blows for eternity upon eternity, polishing and purifying even the roughest of the earth's elements and impediments. This said, at this hill's crest where you rest, there is no need of further refinement. Feel how the northern wind quiets for you, as if it knows over whose stone it passes. --

This Same Wind
He hates sunrise because the lovely pale glow of each ray is a beautiful dagger pointed straight at his heart the tip an inch away from drawing the life out of him you are the life in him and he hates you so. He hates anchors because they don’t let even the biggest ships glide along the waters as they please and you don’t let him glide along as he pleases you are his anchor and he hates you so. He hates the wind because without it he would have no direction no strength to move on you are and you aren’t his wind and he hates you so. I have watched him sail the hardest seas cut through the roughest waters brave the wildest winds but you… he doesn’t know how to deal with the pain of missing you.
