"rudy" poems
It was a graveyard and overcast sky and I sat with book and accordian in hand, hearing the world with its screams swallow up around me. The people whom I had loved and lost, Papa with his silver eyes Mama her sharp tongue and tough love Rudy whose hair the colour of lemons and questioned why, the living and dead, worlds apart, yet both did not have a choice. I stood and screamed so that everything shook the burning rubble and ash and dust willing my words to bring it all back but it did not come, and my breath rose in gasps. Death had looked me in the eye and said, “It’s not time yet.” I would shut my eyes to the world only decades later. I will understand that there was hate and pain there was sadness but even more so, there was love and joy. I will know that the people I loved had reason to kiss goodbye whether it was their own hurt or saw it as a necessity, but they were never truly gone from me always somewhere nearby, in the thick and thin frail and worn of times. I would learn to forgive Death that day. I will understand that and I will be hurt, but I will be okay. ~ *Not all deaths are sad. Some, meant to ease their own pain, Are called freedom. While some, Meant to ease the pain of others, Are called love.* © BT

Death | A Story By Liesel Meminger
I was born on November 30th , I hear that makes me a Saggitarius. I dunno what that means. I  know how to swim, and I'm a sucker for a guy with a nice smile And nice words. I'm still learning how to whisper sweet nothings I'm often loud at times when I should be quiet I'm often quiet at times when I should be loud I keep holding back or letting it all out at the wrong time. I like sweet drinks... a lot. I've been told that I give pretty bad hugs People say that it feels like I'm trying to escape Well I don't like letting people close. Especially close enough to hear me breathe. I have this odd fascination with things like time machines and technology, I assume it's because I like to figure out how things work and fix them. Am the same way with people, like to know what's coming before it does. Love usually lasts a few moments, That's also why I tend to fall in love with men Who would never love me back I know it sounds crazy, but it's actually much saner than it seems And to be honest, I think it's safer that way See relationships, they often remind me that I'm not afraid of letting go. But I'm scared of what's gonna happen The moment that my body hits the ground I'm clumsy. I usually trip when am following my feelings. I landed on my pride and it shattered like a mirror i check daily. Now I can't even tell who's trying to give me a compliment or just trying to get into my pants. I've never been into martial arts but I have all these bruises, I got from beating myself up over things I can't fix I know it sounds weird but sometimes, I wonder what the voices in my head say when am asleep. I wonder what the doors would do if they found out About all the things that I've done when they are closed. I've got a trash can that's overflowing with really, really obnoxious mistakes And a dump site in my closet with all the skeletons. You'll trap me in a corner and insist I get help. Hi, my name is Em, I enjoy ice cream and yoghurt, people watching And figuring out how to make them work. I allow myself to cry more than I need to, from letting all the wrong people in. I have solar-powered energy, I have a battery-operated heart, It flickers and dies from overuse. My hobbies include rewriting my life story, hiding behind poems, And trying to convince myself that I do matter to someone. I don't know much, but I do know this I know that if you don't have standards, you won't be treated right and be happy. I know God is still reworking my faults and flaws, I'm a unique work in progress.

I’m going to be honest, I’m not a love poet But if I was to wake up tomorrow morning And decide that I really wanted to write about love I swear that my first poem… It would be about you About how I loved you the same way That I learned to ride a bike: Scared But reckless With no training wheels or elbow pads So my scars can tell you the story of how I fell for you ~Rudy Francisco I’m not Rudy Francisco But every man has his own words So if I was a love poet God knows I would still write about you But I would write about how That smile of yours might only last a moment But I'll do everything I can to make it last a lifetime And then... I will make sure it lasts an eternity If I was a love poet I would tell you how You make all of my days So I'll make it my duty to make all your tomorrows I would tell you That the sun rises each and every morning Because it wants to see you Because as bright as the sun is It is blinded by your light And you make me want to see What blindness is really like So I can look at you for the Short moment before I lose my sight Because then Your image will always be with me However, If I really cared I would tell you You’re better off alone Than with me Because I know I know I’ll hurt you And I can’t bare the thought of that I would tell you I’m not enough And I never will be Because enough isn’t in me If I really cared I would tell you Nothing Because I don’t deserve the chance to speak to you However to tell you any of this You would have to be real

Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge The gap between you and I the gap that cant be filled You see me on the street everyday yet ignore me I suffer the starvation that humanity has forced upon me Everyone says they want to do something about the homeless Why not just do what Rudy Juliane did Put us all in jail Why suffer us yet another empty day When you lay down your weary head You dont think of us the ones you dont see Oh you see us with your eyes But you ignore us by your deed Some of the homeless may have chosen to be ware they are Some did not For those whom did not you see them as the bain of humanity You see them as the gum on the bottom of your shoe Something to scrape off on the curb and be forgotten Something to be discarded in the refuse container Something that you think really isnt there Something you can only hope to cast out with disdain Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge Suffer the starvation that humanity has forced upon me Suffer another empty day Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge Suffer me humanity, Suffer Me humanity, Suffer Me Humanity SUffer ME HUmanity, SUFfer ME HUManity, SUFFer ME HUMANity SUFFEr ME HUMANIty, SUFFER ME HUMANITy, SUFFER ME HUMANITYYYYYYYYY

"Regular Sized Rudy? Why do they call you that?" "Just look at me." Yes, look at me. Are the laces of my corset tied tight enough? Do I deserve lust if ******* show in this underbust? Is my masculinity compliant and where it needs to be?

Regular Sized Rudy
-something real. Something strong and sturdy, believable. I want to write words that are heavy with lightness and dark with their brightness, to draw on a page a life so unbelievably real, so inconceivably mine in creation I want to write -not just love. Not a ***** with a couple of drink-mangled bugs. I want to write about that feeling of blood churning and the warmth of emotion not physical feeling, to put into words the unwordable joy of being in the presence of not just anyone Anyone. Like the not-platonic-non-romantic affection that Rudy would not fail to hint at, that so-wanted kiss that Liesel gave, it wasn't so much the action as the meaning behind it. Like that itch on Death's ear when Liesel he came near, not to take her yet, but to steal her story, to live through it. To feel the words dance in his void, non-niceness, the infinite meanings and the power of phonic combinations. They allow even Death to live. I want to write like Zusak, like Rowling, like me. I want to write -the philosophies. The thoughts and wishes and wonders of a minority. I want to write about those opinions of those whose voices are too small and their souls beautifully lit up but unseen, their ideologies so unmistakably right but also naive and innocent, to stage their feelings from transition to transition their words to the wise I want to write -characters so flawed. Each with an inner splendor most radiant, but with their fields of starless black and heads that wander from this to that. I want to write lives and people so different, with not-so-good lives and not-so-normal features. People who, though lacking thereof, cliche the right things and believe in the wrong The wrong. Their thoughts and meanings about life and beyond, undesirable and judged but that is the human mentality, such as Hazel Grace felt about her casualties and Alaska Young wondered about the labyrinth's unending game. So standard at first, but then Gandalf came and Bilbo learned the differences between Hobbit and the untame. The reasons and purposes of life's grand living, through the eyes of those whose faces are shunned. Hermione wasn't just a bibliosiac. I want to write like Green, like Tolkien, like me. Alas, the clock, a stained moon, it darkens, and the prejudice of people as well as the pride, unfortunately Austen couldn't lessen so much. Stereotypes triumphantly sit on the throne with their Mary-Sue maids catering from head to toe. I can't barge in, object to the crowning, because today I admit it: my writing is dying.

Miss Elliot is not just a single mom Miss Elliot is not just white trash Because Miss Elliot must stay calm In the lunchroom, though she grins wide, she’ll crash In the West End High lunchroom peak hour Miss Elliot, our warrior stands strong "You ugly white trash," they scream at the door But she keeps quiet, she won't yell you're wrong At home, she has a little one to watch She packs her bag, cleans off her recipe She claws in her mind for hope hard to catch As she quietly gives us a whisper "So what will it be Chris, Molly, Rudy?"

I was born on a Sunday. My eyes change colors depending on the weather. I am 5' 2'' but feel like I am 5' 6". I don't know how to do Calculus. I am okay with that. My first name means "one who listens". I wish my middle name meant "one who speaks" because my God, I am a wishing well and people have the tendency to toss their secrets into me. And their loss, their pain, their anger, their sadness, their regret it fills up a part of me that I thought was infinite. I am on the constant verge of spilling over and when I walk I feel like a garbage bag, dragged against cement, one sidewalk scrape away from coming undone. I am expected to keep everyone's mess inside. My friends tend give me **** for the amount of time I can spend staring in the mirror. The secret here isn't that I'm vain, it's that approaching my reflection is like ripping off a band-aid because looking myself in the eye still makes my stomach flip. 60 pounds of weight lost does not silence the echoes of words that convinced me that life as a size zero was the only life worth living and I had been alive nine sizes too long. I can't always remember that I am beautiful. And I have this collection of words that I should have said. When I am alone, I bring them out from my closet and introduce them to the ghosts of people I have lost, of the people I could not fix, of the people I should forget but can't forget because I don't want to forget because there's something about keeping wounds open that feels better than letting them heal— I have always been one to pick at scabs. This is my declaration of honesty— My name is Sam. I can't ride a bike but I can write you a poem. I am afraid of perpetually falling in love with people who won't love me back. There is a man in a cell I live to forget. I am convinced Heaven looks like Ireland and that soul mates come in multiples. My voice shakes when I say what I think. and for once, this poem isn't for you. This is a poem for me.

This is a lateral Christmas, my dears, The reasons for red-nosed reindeer, Rudolph was on the ***** my dears, Santa and Rudolph loved Christmas beers, You could see it in their faces, dears, Rudy and Santa were dipsomaniacs, They drank all the ***** in Santa's sacks, But worse, Santa's in a stroke unit, we fear, We knew it was a bit hard, For gifts, Santa maxed out his credit cards, Red cheeks meant high blood pressure, we fear, There's worse, Mrs. Santa was a real ***** She drank all the eggnog with Rudolph and Blitzen, The drunken elves kept all your gifts for their party, They drank all your Christmas bevvies, party hearty! There's worse, Christmas fairies live in fear, They did ask Santa one year, "What to do with the trees, Santa dear?" "Wait and see!!" roared Santa, O dear, There's a fairy with a tree up her blip here, Now, Santa's in the Stroke Unit this year, Folk at the North Pole, too much Christmas cheer, So, there's no Christmas on Earth, my dears, This is the lateral Christmas year...........

A LATERAL CHRISTMAS....
Snooty Rudy Thinks he’s hot as fire. Snooty Rudy Leaves a lot to be desired. Snooty Rudy Thinks he’s better than us all Silly Rudy He’s heading for a big fall. Rudy always thinks He’s the star of every game Rudy never gets The joke hidden in his name. He looks up on life As someone else’s duty. Someone must pay the piper But it is never Rudy. Snooty Rudy Thinks he’s hot as fire. Snooty Rudy Leaves a lot to be desired. Rudy never gets the check When he goes out to eat. When people rise to clean He always keeps his seat. Rudy doesn’t like to stir From a relaxing chair. Look around when work is done, Rudy is never there. Snooty Rudy Thinks he’s better than us all Silly Rudy He’s heading for a big fall. Rudy likes to join Committees for charity causes But when the work is done Rudy only pauses. He’s there for congratulations But not for sweat and toil. ***** hands are beneath his station. Never a smidgen of soil. Snooty Rudy Thinks he’s hot as fire. Snooty Rudy Leaves a lot to be desired. Snooty Rudy Thinks he’s better than us all Silly Rudy He’s heading for a big fall.

SNOOTY RUDY
I guess I feel threatened by your strength I guess I feel threatened by your beauty I build brick layers between us. What is that? She ushered me to that golden path of sacred My hands seek but grasp not But there is something there to be taken Why the blinders? Why the stammer? I have never been so confused ‘Olobeouch,’ the Yapese say A tangling predicament worth Unraveling with a fine-tooth Bamboo comb What about awareness Emotional terror both by day And by night The subtle insidious kind Calm waves of sad Inertia creeps What is that? How do I heal when-- (and thanks for putting words to it, Rudy): When it feels like the arms of my Clock have arthritis? Ship wreck on the wrong shore ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My feelings for you have grown needlessly ornate Yours for me, simple Sullivan says: Friendship is underrated Because of its inherent Ability to be so earthen So organic And, thus Conceptualized Less So why have I built Nonsensical negativity? Self-sabotage What is that? I’m not that guy. I told you: “I want so much more of you than I need” I didn’t know at the time that I got it twisted Maybe: I need you more than I want to admit Love the one you’re with I idealized, romanticized the **** out of you Before I even came back I shot myself Big toe on rifle trigger A nice distraction from more Pressing issues? What is that? I thought I was alone But you reminded me I am not I can’t tell you how much that means to me Those words: Struck match In a dark room I’ve not let anyone acknowledge or Sympathize with my lingering ache Much less help anyone understand it What is that? I’m not that guy I’ve never been that guy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I let news of: Thousands killed by super typhoon Refugee birth ******** hunter casualty Child victim of AIDS Remind me that my pain is small Pretending that that news is Good enough to build perspective And deal with pain When it isn’t “We accept the love we think we deserve” I guess I thought I didn’t deserve you Thank you for reminding me that that is Not Truth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ask me unprovoked questions By the sea, under a tree Whisper me stardust Because one day I want to say: Love me for the man I’ve become Not the man I was I touch the tip of your nose

I’m not that guy I’ve never been that guy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I let news of: Thousands killed by super typhoon Refugee birth ******** hunter casualty Child victim of AIDS Remind me that my pain is small Pretending that that news is Good enough to build perspective And deal with pain When it isn’t “We accept the love we think we deserve” I guess I thought I didn’t deserve you Thank you for reminding me that that is Not Truth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ask me unprovoked questions By the sea, under a tree Whisper me stardust Because one day I want to say: Love me for the man I’ve become Not the man I was I touch the tip of your nose

The road seemed to never end. But these frnds were having fun walking together. Sweeto said, "the aroma in here is beautiful".. Rudy said, "well I think you are just overreacting" Friendo said, "Hey rudy, just stop acting rude, we are together here on the road, just live the moment.." Rudy said, "yeah yeah, it wud have been better to sit at home doing nothing than to be here". Silence there gave a sad frown which no one noticed.. Scary repeated the sentence, "uhh, all of you plz listen to me this road is really not meant for us, anything may happen there at the end, there could be ghosts or zombies or thieves, we cud get killed." Bravery said, "Dont you worry guys, Until i am there no one can ever harm my friends." Happy was happy cuz he had his dreams come true on this journey. While the Jealousy was surrounded by the smoke of restlessness, both of them together creating partly dull atmosphere.. Excity was hopping like a small girl skipping but was losing its track from the others.. But Controller had got his eyes on everyone so it didnt matter when he was around, excity wud be fine.. Confidence with stability walked in the second row to guide all the others behind.. Angry was getting red cuz he thought what is the use of thus journey when this cud have been simpler and due to this Saddy was losing hopes.. But calmy placed his hands around their necks and said everything happens for a reason.. Strategy was guiding everyone in the perfect manner.. Striding at the front was love with its sparkling aura, since it had won, cuz it was stable after being angry and then sad, before which he was excited and controlled, even before which he was brave to be a friend which taught him to keep calm when there is sadness and use strategy and confidence to fight jealousy and restlessness and be happy. But walking just beside Love was pain which said, "Dude, Let us see who wins." The wise road of Life simply smiled..

#29 | 31 Poems for August 2016 The girl with a soul like a library keeps getting thicker than the plot does. So I guess that it’s no mystery why I am obsessed with reading. She knows that I always have a book in my hand no matter the season. The day I realised that words could touch her, I wanted to become a poem. The type of poem that Rudy Francisco’s pen always dreams about. It doesn’t matter whether it’s winter or summer, when she is the breeze I can never forget to breathe. She gently holds me in her hands like her favourite author’s best-selling novel. She told me to write poetry until my heart runs out of ink and my soul runs out of paper. The girl with a soul like a library fell in love with me not for my words but because I love reading. She’s composed of all the love poems my pen never had the courage to write. Because sometimes the pulchritude of her presence is too heavy for blank pages and simple words. The day I realised that words could touch her, I wanted to become a poem. The type of poem that Reyna Biddy’s pen always dreams about. The girl with a soul like a library fell in love with the boy who loves reading. Reading the lines on a woman’s skin is poetry and too many men are illiterate. So they will never truly understand the fact that liberty begins with literacy.

**Opposed September 03, 2014 Daily Poem Locking Lips "I swear when our lips touch, I can taste the next sixty years of my life"** Above is an excerpt from Rudy Francisco's Love Poem Medley http://lit.genius.com/Rudy-francisco-love-poem-medley-annotated I highly doubt Opposed is Rudy Francisco... The poem of the day today did not acknowledge the original writer or poem only stated in the notes "Thank you for selecting this as the daily poem! :)" It's ok to seek the elusive 15 minutes of fame as long as it's YOUR fame to celebrate...

so? is plagiarism no longer a writers deadly sin?
"Regular-sized Rudy? Why do they call you that?" "Just look at me," A touch of incongruity, like a rogue ****** in the parking lot of Rite Aid that's like really close to the entrance He said: "I want us to be happy, and normal, and I want to treat you better," Just look at me.

#13 | 31 Poems for August 2016 Listen to the love and freedom embedded in every figure of speech. I pray that these words bless all the beautiful souls that they reach. It’s weird how we find comfort in the pain we allow ourselves to feel. According to the stats, some people live outside their means like outliers. Pass the herbs so I can pass these words then maybe we can pass the word. Sometimes my thoughts tend to overflow to the rim so it’s only necessary that you jump in and swim. Feel the rhythm in my ghetto cries and urban blues. As I write and recite poems reminiscent of those by Maya Angelou, Jasmine Mans and Langston Hughes. God hears our prayers so I know that we are all going to be alright. Luyanda told me that I can conquer the world as long as I have Jesus so who am I not to follow greatness? You need to know the value of life before it gets taken away from you. Will you be a victim of the past or pay homage to your mother’s womb? I need peace of mind before there comes a time when my mind ends up in pieces. Nobody ever listens but you appreciate my ghetto cries and urban blues. So allow me to write and recite poems reminiscent of those by Maya Angelou, Rudy Francisco and Langston Hughes.

Ghetto Cries and Urban Blues
Collared for white collar, To society I'm paying my dues The Trump appointee Club Fed blues. The beds are pretty clean and soft, At Club Fed, they hardly cost Shootin' shuffleboard, takin' a snooze Just forgettin' the Club Fed blues The **** beach aint just ahead Club Fed just aint the Club Med At 3-pm, it's tea and cake Every night supper-- it's Trump steak The cash register rings, it's all his take. They're adding on to the Club Fed thing, A spanking new Congressional wing Having latte with a Trumper con He whines,"I'm no Don, I was just a pawn." On the ladies side, want to meet Lori, the College Admission cheat No black ink pen tattoos Just plain old Club Fed blues Bill Barr and Rudy sit at table Remembering when they were on cable Just spinning another Ukrainian fable Missing my 5-pm yardarm ***** A stiff price to pay, the Club Fed blues When I leave it's to the Caribbean To a fat numbered account And I'll finally lose the Club Fed blues.

Losin' the Club Fed Blues
The old man laughed at everything, even when it was never funny, and his hair hadn't been combed for weeks or more. With a bald head on top, he looked like some exotic, near-extinct bird. He kept poking holes in his styrofoam paper plate with his fork-fixing something probably. He doesn't know I'm his granddaughter.

I wonder if he knows his words saved my life. He sees things the way I see things— it’s the kind of music the deaf can hear. Salvation in words, an alter for art, sound soul reinforcements for those of us who almost couldn’t dig our nails in deep enough to hang on. Almost. Thank you for having the courage to write it all down to say it all out loud for allowing me to relate. You see, I, too, am still learning to love the parts of me that no one claps for.

for rudy francisco
East of the Equator on 1° 15' tropics is an old pirate isle Irate willy-wavers are set to meet, I repeat, on Santosha where, if you know it by its sanskrit, they might reconcile Wishful leaders play symbolic. To us are none, but frenzy frolic. Rudy doubles a pretty sight when smart cookie crumbles to his knees.  The apprentice,  a fake gansta has capitulated to Trump who's  known to expostulate his lot of twitterati oh, the wizard of sentences,  cut the circuit and paparazzi. Rocket man says read my lips, so Dotard threatens bigger drips Both gaga over trigger hands, like-a-virgin on hot dozen buttons. Ain’t it a saga, they goatherd each other on,  so call in Dennis to get us out of the funk. Just maybe, a remote chance, a fun slam-dunk! The world awaits with bated breath, the immovable anchors to a bad romance. We're stuck for answers to translate two gyrate minds, singing hits a-capella under nuke umbrella.  No tanning spray and pray please or death-from-behind us all, the wrench of humankind. At 34, Prince has just begun life, to see his people starving to die At 71, ****** has a life doing what he does,  while waiting to die   Chasms miles long, but cookie cutter share tall man phantasm 94 stories high towards disarming God in their own ego suites. Gurkhas and gazetted city blocks, the people in uttered groans All twitterpating over a hermit throne dancing to a jailhouse rock Two bright like buttons, so zero sum bargains may cost an arm and an earth - nuclear glutton! Not a far gains from your usual Target? At St Regis in gather,  string theories of riddles to Lord of the Rings Towkays at the table “Order! Order!” no one absquatulates at all borders In shambhala, will it be “Big and Bold” or “Beg and Hold”, who knows Except Goldenhair, in first minute - Upside or Upset of an F1 ride!
