To Be A Princess
Christmas Eve was coming There was plenty to be done There were protocols to follow There were programs to be run Presents needed wrapping Elves had duties of their own They've been doing it for centuries They could call Christmas in by phone Reindeer games were scheduled Christmas Carols to be sung There were toys to be assembled There were bells that must be wrung Christmas Cakes...no problem For we all know there's just one It gets passed around each Christmas And that is half the fun But, back now to the reindeer games Donner wasn't there But, neither were three others It gave Santa Claus a scare He called the elven vet in Said "find out what it wrong" "If I don't have all my reindeer" "It'll ruin Rudolph's song" The vet came back directly Hoof and mouth was what he said The reindeer must  miss Christmas They were all confined to bed Santa couldn't take it Reindeer home...what would he do? He thought real hard about an answer Where would he find something that flew The vet said, "I've an answer" "But, no questions...just your trust" "I'll get your gifts delivered Santa" "I just need your magic dust" Santa said "do your best Doctor" "We can't have Christmas end like this" "Are you sure you have an answer?" "We can't give Christmas time a miss" The vet and elves went searching They formed a team like none before They went around to the animals And then they knocked on Santa's door Santa looked at what they'd brought him His reindeer gone, but here they stood A team had been assembled It made Santa sink into his hood Harnessed up before him The vet had two dogs and a bear A ****** goat, and donkey And a bald, blind cat...stood there He smiled and said "Dear Santa" "They may not look like that much now" "But, they'll get you where you need to be" "And they'll be led by a brown cow" If you hear some noises From your roof, like bleats and barks Some, meowing or some mooing And other strange sounds in the dark Remember, it's just Santa With his new team for the season Rex, Rolf, Billy, Ben, Bessie, Joe, and Mike and a bald, blind cat who's freezin' Merry Christmas to all and to all....don't look up!!

Eyes like massive clanks- gazes morphed to lanced boils, lungs ache and the tumour of hopeless alien weird melts an old painting we used to call 'existence.' Ankles dry, calloused thoughts, skin peels to reveal oozing flesh. **** sinks in and swallows floating zinc; immune. Consuming ex-cadavers in mall parking lots and pushing the crippled in shopping carts, an ankle twisted, a mother swallowed monetary ***** the stock market became the shelf market, and creation wondered if we were okay with frozen pizza for dinner. Life dragged on and on, the world swirled on twitter feeds and Facebook statuses, the streets completed laps around our better judgements and our better lives, we sank to scheduled escapism and believed that one day we would find the light despite our never left-look. Massive intention swelled to disjointed shark search. A witch-hunt to burn unhappiness in it's own angry passion. Bones; cost efficient at the least and designed in the weirdness of erosion-return. Miniature intention swelled to grabs solidarity. A manhunt to freeze stillness in it's own endless silence. What complete? What shatter-tastic ****** Eyes like massive clanks- gazes morphed to lanced boils, lungs ache and the tumour of hopeless alien weird melts an old painting we used to call 'existence.'

On the eve I die alone Don't morn me simply delete me from your phone Remove my contact info erase all pics and tweets Don't simply RIP me Or shout me out on FaceBook statuses When I'm gone ignore me Go back to your regularly scheduled programming Let me slide into oblivion Where I resided in life let me rest in death If it mattered that much surely I would have known I would have sensed the emotional necessity that I placed in hearts That I etched in minds and lives So let me slip to slumber Cast out blindly on the pyre With backs turned don't mind the blaze Embrace your loved ones and hold them tight Remind them that to love and lose is to lose at best And to be stolen from and assailed at worst But still warn them of this plight And when I lay down that eve Don't wish this soul goodnight.

Goodnight
With the start of the first inning as the wind whistled through the tree's Our short stop had his shoulder broke and the fates blew in on the breeze This team was a thorn in the side of the Harding Presidents Club It was on this night my son Tate was scheduled to play as a sub The kid pitching for North Union hurled a cooking heater down field You could hear that freight train coming as it's hide was 'bout to be peeled Their coach then rallied his talent pressing their shoulders to the wheel like natives dancing 'round a fire driving devils who'd struck a deal A death defying mid-air, catch the bounding, ball tossed on the run The Devil was in town this night riding in on the setting sun They dove and slid then nearly flew as if the angels rode their backs While running bases half possessed plowing the field with cleated tracks No one remembered the last time that our team had beaten this bunch That night they took the field in style serving them all up for their lunch , The dice kept coming up seven and oh prophetically so When the sun had finally set the score was seven to zero Come ye father's follow your child through the tough times every one For the oft chance will someday come when they will have finally won Tate © 2012 Tate Morgan Written April 12, 2014 Americans love the underdogs. original http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/aristate/1342622/ Original video poem of the same http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/aristate/1354978/

A Day In The Sun
Sadness is not just tears And sobs And mourning and Isolation Sadness is the bags under your eyes Because you can't sleep at night Sadness is the indifferent silence where laughter used to ring Sadness is empty chore where Passion used to flow Sadness is an occupied bed With no sleeping scheduled Sadness is the empty glint in your eyes Where a twinkle used to shine Sadness is a heavy sigh at Two in the morning And two in the afternoon Sadness is losing interest In people you used to adore Sadness is slipping From life everyday But still breathing Sadness is Not sadness This Sadness is Depression. And Depression is dying While you're still alive

Sadness
It was hard to miss Jerry in the corner holding court over the bran muffin. Flurries of judgement and wisdom flying across coffee dappled pages as he sentenced a large cup of Paruvian Dark Roast to be ****** 7 am Dan never flinched steeling his tenured chair at a spot one section of stir sticks away calculably just out of reach of the regularly scheduled tantrum. An auburn-haired newbie fanes camoflage peeking over two pages of Obituaries she never intended to read. Her raised and nearly detached eyebrows hover above the dateline like a magic trick. And on every table fall scattered leaves of press print trees unsorted and littered with intent by careless absorbers of trivia. Disconnected ear-budded footnotes of humanity see nothing hear nothing using the disarrayed World News as enormous coasters unmoved by hyper-ventilating compulsives pushing panic buttons through desperate quests to uncover one alphabetically organized set of local news. Of the papers not strewn the remnant holds anxious on a distant wall a throng of flopping rabbit-eared step children dangling precariously from unaccomodating magazine racks like smoky orphans from windows in a fiery building. Disordered. Disrespected. Discarded...words are Jews in the holocaust. Death of a voice. We are irreverent in our silence diminishing genius through apathy put off by the imposition to be challenged choosing disposable principles above responsible knowledge. Everything is disposable - cameras, cars, relationships, loyalty, babies...and wisdom - crumpling Pulitzer prize authors and discarding WW2 veterans just to get to the cartoons.

People say I’m always late, And that I always make them wait; I take so long to arrive, They could **** me with their eyes. I don’t mean any disrespect; And if I could I would correct This awful quirk of mine, Of never getting there on time. Could I have a broken clock? I wish I knew the method to unlock The secret to a scheduled life, And thus avoid so much strife. I’ve tried the systems, plans and schemes, To change my life has been my dream; But interruptions plague my day, Distractions lead me all astray. It’s not that I am unaware Of Time’s passage or don’t care. No, I savor every minute; I wish I had them without limit. The seconds pass, I feel them go; I mourn them all, you know. I want to hold them, keep them fast; Not let them slip into the Past. And that’s the reason I’m a mess At schedules and the rest; I can’t work fast, I can’t resist; The weight of Time I can’t dismiss. I hope the world will understand Just why I botch up every plan. Confusion is never my desire; Each moment’s like a jewel to admire. I ask your patience, if you please; I’ll try my best to appease; But if I’m late have sympathy, I mix up Time with Eternity.

Always Late
I'm a realist, mildly an idealist. My ideas create a mindset that allows me to express feelings But I built up a wall, high as a skyscraper..I stand, as a realist I know if I jump, I'm bound to meet my maker. I don't think idealist are weak. I just think they escape the honesty they seek. You don't walk a straight line in order for you to finally reach your peak. Obstacles come and go, water is a need if you want to grow, you can't have a lightbulb without an idea and expect it to magically glow. I know every action I do and especially when I am wrong but, I just won't rewrite all my wrongs, they inspire all of my greatest songs. Optimistic that I'll make it, I just need more effort than 50 percent because you get what you put in, as a realist I know if you put in half, half back is all you will ever get. People remember your mistakes, the heroics they just simply forget. I can't stand when people think it's okay to live a life without any regrets. *Sure things happen for a reason and karma "may" have your enemies morally bleeding, but your ideology sounds misguiding and thought process misleading. Karma is an excuse to allow a higher calling contribute to your spiteful abuse, you don't want the crime on your soul so you allow the angels to fatally shoot. It's fine, before we die, we all commit a crime. Women **** men steal, just being in love should require you to do time.* Born a realist sinner...far from an idealist winner Success doesn't come over night The sweet life doesn't come until after you've made your dinner..and cleaned the plate, but we're never satisfied...nah, we going to probably eat again late. Work hard for the dream, don't just rely on faith. A realist knows she may not show up, even when you scheduled a date. It's all love to the victims, stuck in a fiction. If you hate this piece...your ignorance got you unable to listen. Not my problem though. I'm speaking without any permission! I like that idea...oh **** wait...I think I just become my own contradiction? ...forget it, I'm healing, my words and unpredictable wisdom, I am still dealing. Insanity is a fear that is expressed towards you when others have confusion A realist, an idealist..no one is right...our concepts to each other seem all an illusion. -Dougie simps

I can’t sleep because I’m too tired. I’m so tired that what I just said makes complete sense... I can’t sleep because I’m not tired at all, I would run around the world and come back home and still be awake. If I could... If I wanted to. I can’t sleep because counting sheep is stupid. I can’t sleep because I want to pull an all-nighter. I can’t sleep because I don’t want to pull an all-nighter. I can’t sleep because I plan to wake up at 6 am tomorrow morning. Or 8, or 12, or 4 o’clock in the afternoon. I can’t sleep because YouTube. I can’t sleep because I can’t wait for tomorrow, and I can’t sleep because I don’t want tomorrow to catch up with me. I can’t sleep because I have a scheduled 3-hour long conversation with God and something tells me we are definitely going overtime. We just have so much to talk about. I can’t sleep because I’m hungry, but let’s not risk waking my family of the sleep I don’t get to have. I can’t sleep because I’m afraid of dying in my sleep. You can’t tell me it would be peaceful, or comfortable, when I’m subconsciously fighting for my life, and a rest I will forever never get to have. Rest in peace right? More like rest in pieces, I am a broken body sprawled out across a bed that is too small for me because I hate sleeping on a diagonal, I keep tossing and turning, so no, I am not resting in peace. I can’t sleep because I will never be comfortable, I will never be able to sleep in a straight line, or on my left or right side, so lets just stare at my ceiling and wonder why I even bother trying. I can’t sleep because my dreams will always become nightmares in which I wake up the next morning to forget my dreams of yesterday, I did not ask for a tomorrow, I did not ask for my alarm clock, I did not ask to wake up. Tell the sun to go back down for five minutes. I can’t sleep because I will wake up to find that my arms are wrapped around my pillow, where I thought your body was. I am not hugging you anymore, because I have woken up. I don’t care it it’s not real, let me dream for just a little longer because I just wish you were here. I cannot forget how lonely I have become. I can’t sleep because I’m waiting for the phone to ring, for a message to be sent, for burglar to sneak into my house, because I am awake and ready to fight. I will defend what I can see. But I can’t see in the dark. I lay awake, wishing that you were here to tell me it’s safe to sleep, but we both know monsters exist in the dark. I can’t stop wishing that you were here, I’m sorry that I can’t stop thinking about you. I just can’t explain myself, and I will stay up all night thinking of something to say to you. But I can’t… I can’t sleep, I can’t let myself fall asleep I might never be as alive as I am right now STAY AWAKE!! I have so much I need to do, so please don’t let me fall asleep again. Because being here alive and awake with you is already a dream come true.

A blunt start It's Monday blues Aching heart Searching for clues Wondering eyes Scheduled meetings More sales lies More customer cheatings Gloomy, rainy, breezy day Good morning, morning all passes say My mind is rolling over thinking My eyes heavy, dosing and sinking O' I hope it was another holiday Another day in bed, dreaming all the way But Monday always comes again Ruining my week, giving me pain Same people, same desk, job loads Traffic queuing on the roads O' this laziness I need coffee, to focus on today's business Monday! Monday! Fly away fast Till Friday comes, with a party blast... ©sim

Monday Blues
Time is the eternal sculptor Chiseling away through centuries To create innovative masterpieces Where many facets of life emerge Bridging the past, present and future Shaping the moments we dwell in Where events are scheduled To display the varied installations Which cannot be replicated Recorded in the chronicles of time When our world will fade away But time will be there till eternity Relentlessly sculpting for the future For, time brings change And everything changes, except time itself

Scared of what life has planned Thinking back to the past Already been dealt a hard hand Thought it was good at last A lump in my throat Scared to jinx the scheduled test Too soon that I spoke Holding hope too close to my breast

Lump (Secret Confession)
*blondes, brunettes and redheads, the goodbye colors of the street's tree choir members and their leafy gowned denizens, the good stiff chill upon them, the selfsame chill in my anguished mind now hiding, sing a comfort food song heard above the quiet terror of the noises of a fall winters-wind precursor "once we green, once we were renewal, life everlasting emblems once, you were wee, green uncaring and free, presuming that you too, were in possession of life everlasting your colors have changed as well, endless is the process, only slower than a tree's scheduled maintenance, moreover, returning you to your first crayon drawing youth unlike us, an impossibility we will turn young again for many seasons more, you never will new eyes will feast upon our glories refreshed and love our cast shade cast yet special are you the man, poet who was chosen to see and tell, witness to our resurrection, during our overlapping, parallel continuum in time when to the shade of hades you physic sent, our limbs, our leaves, our perennial lives, for-as-long-as-they-shall-last, will cover thy remains and give your poems back to the sultry summer breeze from whence they came and the colors of your words will be the colors of a free life everlasting"*

Dar Al-Hekma University hosted its second fashion show on Sunday that featured the work of its second batch of fashion design undergraduates. The event, titled “Luminosity” was held under the auspices of Princess Reem **** Muhammad Al-Faisal. President of the university Dr. Suhair Hassan Al-Qurashi said: “Providing such events to our students before graduation exposes them to industry leaders of their prospective industries and gives them a head start in their careers. “Dar Al-Hekma University’s students stand out because of the combination of their high caliber and the opportunities the university provides for them.” Along with industry leaders, families of participating students attended. The event started with an opening speech by the department chair for the fashion design program Dina Kattan, who then introduced the sophomore and junior students’ work. Afterward, models wearing three-piece collection garments designed by senior students scheduled to graduate this year took the stage and were graded by four judges. Kattan said: “I am so proud of the work my students presented today; they worked really hard and they deserve a big hand. “Everyone was impressed with the level of creativity and attention to detail they demonstrated.” The judges were Batool Jamjoom, businesswoman in the fashion industry and manager and owner of Jamjoom Fashion House; Amra Alabdalilsharif, director of the innovation and visual merchandising department at Rubaiyyat; Dalal Al-Hasan, a fashion designer; and Aram Kabbani, Dar Al-Hekma alumna and fashion stylist. The grades students received during the fashion show will form part of their final grade. One of the students whose designs were featured at the show, Zahar Algain, said her collection was inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. “Studying fashion has altered my perspective. I view fashion, in the same way that I view life; it’s a matter of balance and proportions. “My interest in avant-garde fashion has led me to believe in using creativity to solve difficult situations. Algain’s collection was meant to blur the line between art and fashion. “It is inspired by Frida Kahlo but with a fictional twist. “The story behind my collection is a daydream, a magical love story, an artwork; it is splattered with Frida’s colorful soul and spirit.” Following this women only event, Dar Al-Hekma is organizing a one-day fashion design exhibition on Tuesday, which is open to all. The event starts from 7 p.m.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide | www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses

This is one of those serious poems And yet it has nothing new to say But the poet needs to keep himself busy And writing seems to be the easiest way The poet rises up on his soapbox Because he works better from an elevated height He screams about organized religion, politics And stripping away of our basic human rights Like a magician with a classic misdirection The poet wraps his moralizing in purple prose He hits you over the head with one simple point That he’s forgotten more than you’ll ever know Around the time of the nineteenth obscure reference The reader is in awe of his far-reaching knowledge Then the poet overuses polysyllabic words Just to prove he went to a good college And the poet keeps filling up the notebooks Even though he should have stopped long ago But the publisher agreed to pay by the word So unfortunately, there’s four more stanzas to go Quickly, the release date approaches There’s one printing, then two, then three And the poem becomes a hit in coffee shops Recited by grad students in between bites of biscotti His face now graces the cover of every magazine In an explosion of exuberant media admiration Dozens of talk show appearances are scheduled For the newly crowned “voice of our generation” The publisher decorates the dust jacket with blurbs Complimenting the book’s “dangerously original rhymes” But it’s nothing more than passing hyperbole Gathered from a glowing review in The New York Times Now thousands grasp the paperback edition And eagerly await the feature film adaptation Meanwhile, the poet hunches over his typewriter And commits more sententious literary ************

Of all my misnomers, Mistooks of arrogance, To think I could career careen A life in poetry, Extra pressure of the Broadest of a narrowing sujet, the scripting of poesy on the restricted topical of only love poetry Must have been punch love drunk, When that notion crazy stung My cerebal, Gored discor-ed cortex, Probably just another Post a Loving, dreaming scheming moment, Or reading a Shakespeare sonnet, Or Midst the long lonely pauses somewhere, *(S)under the rainbow, tween  teener and geezer, and Everything in between* made myself a poet of a restricted diet not "eating " for days at a time for love comes and goes, frequent departures much more easygoing & common, than regularly scheduled arrivals, easy go, not so easy come, what was I thinking of? what a she-muk, talking about cutting your nose off to spite your face,

Re~Regarding Only Love Poetry (olp)
Love on my toes, love in the cabinet, love jumps off balconies it is an eighteen year old succubus offering spinal taps. Bring the gentlemen their evening numbness before next morning’s nightmare and ******** are scheduled on God’s map – he just steps out for a moment, settles his sleeping mask on. God is so unhappy: he understands nothing of love. Get this recipe recited so we shall feed them pink and blue pills which knobs can sting boys in the *** a fleabite or bow soon our leather heels chime through their ears like hooves. The master may question their nutrition so hold out a paper cup sloshing in female nectar, our vaguely cerise saliva sustenance that comes from between slits carved for such – these acids are love, love, love. Love from cavities, love pearls knotted in the roots of a mother clam, fallopian love tubes. Every shoebox offers warmth, complementary wakeup calls a petite blonde to peel him out of his pajamas, too – lay your husbands down into the doll-case if he has no love as God is not watching here. Oh, how happy our gentlemen are.

After a thoroughly enjoyable weekend Which involved watching an animated science fiction thriller Followed by a Football World Cup Final Which turned out to be even more thrilling I had to face the dreaded prospect Of returning to work on a Monday Yes, the notorious villain of the week Which can ensure sleepless nights Even for the strongest souls Well, the day was actually not that bad To begin with, at least After a hot bath Followed by an even hotter cup of filter coffee Prepared by my dear mother, as ever I had a simple breakfast Consisting of a plate of chapatis Mixed with some rather tangy marmalade Thus, I was ready To face the grind of work Or at least, I thought I was The reality turned out to be as different As apples and oranges It started with a few phone calls However, the response was not flattering Thus, I headed to lunch In the hope of making some progress In the second half of the day However, I couldn't have been more wrong The phone calls failed to achieve their purpose As I was unable to obtain slots For the interviews to be scheduled Moreover, I was dealing with multiple stuff At the same time Which proved to be even more difficult Than obtaining a seat in one of the IIMs Time was playing a cat-and-mouse game with me The closer I got to him The more he would evade me As the hours flew by I kept meandering aimlessly Without achieving anything tangible By the time I finally got the hang of work It was already well past 6 PM And I felt as though I had wasted more time Than a certain Sunil Gavaskar had done In his infamous innings of 36 not out, off 175 ***** In the inaugural 1975 Cricket World Cup Thus, I was thoroughly relieved When the day finally ended Returning to work on a Monday Especially after a thoroughly enjoyable weekend Is never good Full stop

[Being an humble address to Her Majesty's Naval advisers, who sold Nelson's old flagship to the Germans for a thousand pounds.] WHO says the Nation's purse is lean, Who fears for claim or bond or debt, When all the glories that have been Are scheduled as a cash asset? If times are bleak and trade is slack, If coal and cotton fail at last, We've something left to barter yet-- Our glorious past. There's many a crypt in which lies hid The dust of statesman or of king; There's Shakespeare's home to raise a bid, And Milton's house its price would bring. What for the sword that Cromwell drew? What for Prince Edward's coat of mail? What for our Saxon Alfred's tomb? They're all for sale! And stone and marble may be sold Which serve no present daily need; There's Edward's Windsor, labelled old, And Wolsey's palace, guaranteed. St. Clement Danes and fifty fanes, The Tower and the Temple grounds; How much for these? Just price them, please, In British pounds. You hucksters, have you still to learn, The things which money will not buy? Can you not read that, cold and stern As we may be, there still does lie Deep in our hearts a hungry love For what concerns our island story? We sell our work -- perchance our lives, But not our glory. Go barter to the knacker's yard The steed that has outlived its time! Send hungry to the pauper ward The man who served you in his prime! But when you touch the Nation's store, Be broad your mind and tight your grip. Take heed! And bring us back once more Our Nelson's ship. And if no mooring can be found In all our harbours near or far, Then tow the old three-decker round To where the deep-sea soundings are; There, with her pennon flying clear, And with her ensign lashed peak high, Sink her a thousand fathoms sheer. There let her lie!

People say that growth is a lifelong journey. Talk about the scheduled trip like it's to the most holy place. I can leave I had a talk with my attorney. I have packed my bags and I'm ready for the new taste. Where is this fantastic place called the future?

Shall we go together?
You had become an expert at Helping people go You knew exactly what they needed if they were going to palm tree skies or to breath that always looked minty fresh You had become an expert at Filling bellies You knew exactly how to gauge The potential of the suitcase according to all Scheduled meetings and recreational activities You had become an expert at Letting things through You knew exactly how to pull The thread through all his loose buttons While you waited for him to come back. You sewed back his negligence with fingers suppressed with haldi* That pushed deep into your nails like A home remedy for faster fingers, You watched reruns of who’s the boss Switching between Reversed gender roles and Madhuri dixit. When you ran out of buttons to sew you Opened up the windows so the dust can Bake you a cake on the shelves So you could eat it all on your own, with one clean sweep. It is your birthday. Everyday the clock is like a see saw you sit on all alone while he is on a swing set with his feet pushing the ground he knows how to move on his own how to touch the sky - you were never taught how to be your own friend. But it is never too late to make friends. Have you ever tried the slide? there are no limits To how many times you can climb So slide, glide let go of gravity, undress from reality We keep shedding like the moon, glowing like torches inside us that help us stand out from the crowd. take your turmeric magic and build a fire with the friction of your spine and your mind sprinkle it on the crackling heat... we all need fire to keep us warm.
