"sensed" poems
And today I met u again... And today I sensed happiness again... And today as you left to go... I had it at the back of my mind, but I didn't tell so... Because today I realized you’re not mine... But still I take you to be my sunshine... And so I wait for this day to pass by... So that I could meet you tomorrow and maybe feel shy... And Yess!!! Tomorrow I will meet you again... And sense this kind of happiness again... ♥♥♥

Meeting You ♥♥♥
death wants more death, and its webs are full: I remember my father's garage, how child-like I would brush the corpses of flies from the windows they thought were escape- their sticky, ugly, vibrant bodies shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass only to spin and flit in that second larger than hell or heaven onto the edge of the ledge, and then the spider from his dank hole nervous and exposed the puff of body swelling hanging there not really quite knowing, and then knowing- something sending it down its string, the wet web, toward the weak shield of buzzing, the pulsing; a last desperate moving hair-leg there against the glass there alive in the sun, spun in white; and almost like love: the closing over, the first hushed spider-sucking: filling its sack upon this thing that lived; crouching there upon its back drawing its certain blood as the world goes by outside and my temples scream and I hurl the broom against them: the spider dull with spider-anger still thinking of its prey and waving an amazed broken leg; the fly very still, a ***** speck stranded to straw; I shake the killer loose and he walks lame and peeved towards some dark corner but I intercept his dawdling his crawling like some broken hero, and the straws smash his legs now waving above his head and looking looking for the enemy and somewhat valiant, dying without apparent pain simply crawling backward piece by piece leaving nothing there until at last the red gut sack splashes its secrets, and I run child-like with God's anger a step behind, back to simple sunlight, wondering as the world goes by with curled smile if anyone else saw or sensed my crime

Death Wants More Death
death wants more death, and its webs are full: I remember my father's garage, how child-like I would brush the corpses of flies from the windows they thought were escape- their sticky, ugly, vibrant bodies shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass only to spin and flit in that second larger than hell or heaven onto the edge of the ledge, and then the spider from his dank hole nervous and exposed the puff of body swelling hanging there not really quite knowing, and then knowing- something sending it down its string, the wet web, toward the weak shield of buzzing, the pulsing; a last desperate moving hair-leg there against the glass there alive in the sun, spun in white; and almost like love: the closing over, the first hushed spider-sucking: filling its sack upon this thing that lived; crouching there upon its back drawing its certain blood as the world goes by outside and my temples scream and I hurl the broom against them: the spider dull with spider-anger still thinking of its prey and waving an amazed broken leg; the fly very still, a ***** speck stranded to straw; I shake the killer loose and he walks lame and peeved towards some dark corner but I intercept his dawdling his crawling like some broken hero, and the straws smash his legs now waving above his head and looking looking for the enemy and somewhat valiant, dying without apparent pain simply crawling backward piece by piece leaving nothing there until at last the red gut sack splashes its secrets, and I run child-like with God's anger a step behind, back to simple sunlight, wondering as the world goes by with curled smile if anyone else saw or sensed my crime

Dear friend, I searched the world for you climbed the highest mountain swam the longest nile Why were you hiding?

I'm comming Then there you were right beside me within me You are me..

Reinaldo was the name they gave the great white elephant Who came to clear the jungles around Sao Paulo A clever notion that because Reinaldo was born in the jungle Any jungle would do just fine, Brazilian or Siamese made no difference Just as clever was the notion that because I was a black man, educated I would do just fine directing other black men to do work, English or Portuguese made no difference Was I truly so much a fool, twice over? Reinaldo occasionally was afflicted with slothfulness Some of the men thought it was from lack of **** and whip I was of a mind that it was due to lack of companionship It was costly enough to ship one giant beast across a great sea I left a wife, in Maryland, whom I never loved and who never loved me I admit before the plan was in motion I never considered that Reinaldo could have a family Sometimes, I wonder, did he have a wife who never loved him? Loneliness became a common theme in our new home away from home And Reinaldo and I became friends, at least I thought of him fondly As far as I could say, of all the men he responded best to me At times it seemed a load of lumber was hauled as a personal favor For the handler too soft to handle with fear and anger But as much as loneliness was a theme, so was change, and death The lifespan of an elephant compares to the lifespan of men Were this scheme of mine to have worked as desired I could have sent for a cow, and made Reinaldo a sire Soon it was revealed that slothfulness was a symptom of an elephant young, healthy and wise Who sensed not his own, but a friend's imminent demise Now I am left to wonder how Reinaldo will fare in a world stranger than I could have known His softest handler and only friend bedridden, waiting for my disease to take its final toll

Dear Racism, You, that exist but should never have been. Your children, Hatred and Division have grown up among us. Rooted themselves wherever they pleased. You have caused enough pain. You will be silenced. Today we took the 1st step, as ONE Nation. Today we remembered. Today we said thank you. My heart is heavy, yet calm. Walking among my fellow brothers and sisters, I sensed the same in them. We have been changed. Liberated. Ubuntu. Freedom is ours for the taking. The long walk has been walked for us. We need to be as strong now. We need to carry on the work. Our leaders need to lead, by following the dreams of the people, Our leaders need to put themselves last, and the people they serve, first. Let it not be in vain. For then I fear, we are all lost. Dear Racism, Goodbye. And good riddance. Sincerely, The Nation of UBUNTU.

Dear Racism
Let me simplify What it is He felt it in your eyes He read it in your words He knew it when you smile He appreciates you so much He sensed the fragrance in air He started to trust your forever He noticed when you get blushed Remember How warmly He calls you, a rose It can be No other than THE LOVE

Naive
She heard that he’s a poet and wondered if he would write a poem about her. A wave of her shoulder length strands of pleasure should flag down nearly any man with an ounce of testosterone. She wondered if she had a poem in her hair. She spoke a few soft words layered with one of her smiles, the kind most guys adore because they don’t know if it means to come closer or to leave her alone. Perhaps a poem rested in her smile. If she had cleavage like Jayne Mansfield surely he would form lines about her in his mind and feel compelled to tell the world how she captured his lust. She wished for ******* with a poem in her cleavage. She touched him. He seemed open to her arm around his waist. A poet felt like any other man. She pressed closer; perhaps he sensed a poem in the warmth of her lean figure. Later in bed, he stayed close, their legs entangled unlike anything she could remember. She wondered if there had been a poem in her ***** She wished she smoked and noticed that he didn’t. Perhaps if they shared a cigarette he would be enticed by the drift of the smoke from her lips. Was there a poem in her sensual exhaling? He seems so Hemingway, mysterious, yet open to each moment. Her mind played his movements like a video tape recorder. She wondered if she should write a poem about him? Was there a poem in this experience?

Will He Write About Me?
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
walking through the woods i was surrounded by a plethora of golden bronze amber leaves tumbling in the wind sparkling with a star fire that evanesced from their jagged edges upon their descent.  i stood entranced, mesmerized, utterly hypnotized by their glorious magnificence.  i observed with intensity as a golden bronze amber leaf never having been attached to the majestic tree had no need to let go but gently released.  feeling no trepidation it wholly lacked desire for manipulation to control the forces of the wind.  i watched in awe and wonder realizing that it never disengaged from the tree knowing that separation is an illusion; it simply became the wind.  whirling it shimmered in the autumn sun as it wafted with no need for reins allowing its destination to unfold.  gingerly cascading it settled tenderly on the ground resting comfortably in ambivalence.  i sensed it did not cringe when it was picked up by an unsuspecting boot but intuitively knew immediately that it was being carried and dropped off serendipitously at an auspicious location.  i listened to it intently and drank in its essence as it simply lay in being not obsessing over what would happen consequent but sat in sheer stillness seemingly encompassing all totality.  i was stunned to see that it lingered without judgment in undivided clarity for what wild synchronicity would come.  it quenched its thirst in mystery while being completely at home in uncertainty.  the golden bronze amber leaf seemed one with all that is while simultaneously retaining awareness of self-perception.  as a gentle gust of wind coalesced with the beige fall sky it literally merged with the momentum enjoying the ride to its perfect destination.  with delicacy it rested cozily in ambiguity whispering to me that heaven is a state and not a place.  i vow surrender to black and white existence pledging fearlessly to climb higher creating life with vivid vibrancy adding golden bronze amber to my palette of colors with which i’ll paint. ©2016 janetaylor

Death you are seen so repugnant. Death you are sensed so vile. Death you are deemed so untimely. “Death can’t you wait for a while?” But Death, aren’t you Life’s true redeemer? Making everyone think well of the dead. Death aren’t you Life’s other half? Death don’t you tuck us to bed? When our wanderlust has faded, your embrace remains unjaded. Death you are humble in your infamy; Life the glory claims. Yet sickness, accidents and war are all Life’s macabre games. That which kills you comes from Life. Life will push to make that sale; living organs mere currency. Cannibalistic Life - advertising as a fairy tale. Death you are left to clear the carnage. Death – the coloseum’s sand – innocently soaked in the blood of Life’s cruel hand. Death you are Life’s psychologist; motivating each step, each trial. Making us get up every morning to make each moment worthwhile. Death you employ Time’s creation to set a deadline to Life. Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring Death you are a scalpel; Life a butcher’s knife. Famine, plague, disease, beast, Without glorious survival, why feast? Death your work with Time is inspired, for we created it to understand your course. With Time we can learn Life’s seasons and record it’s length before it’s divorce from our fragile clay. Death you make us frugal with our Time, yet generous with our Love. For to each heartbeat’s rhythm and rhyme, we fervently dance to give. To make another grief-stricken Death. For if Life is filled with meaning, it is Death’s boon to us all. Life becomes exhilarating – A race before the fall! Death remains a wallflower to the very close. Death only wants to meet us; a gentle lover with a rose. Encouraging, yet terrifying. But if we fear the Darkness, it is Life we fear not Death. How often has a blinding Light been reported on a final breath?

*See the show is over, behind the red curtain you can't see me cutting up my fingers using my blood and tears to pick up what's left of my heart. We're done, been done…we were over before we could start. Some ***** you are....some ***** filthy, manipulative, sneaky, overbearing, cold hearted, insensitive, ***** of a ***** you are. Some ***** you are….some charming, loveable, selfless, funny, intelligent, creative, artistic, handsome, good **** slangin'……perfect man you are. Prince Charming, you used your sword, on the one you for swore, that you'd love me till and beyond the day that I'm dead. Unfortunate mistakings……burn me at the stake, but first it's off with my head. Charming and flirtatious, so easy to fall in love……but it's being so charming and flirtatious that's got me trying on OJ's gloves. I'm the witch and you're the townspeople secretly fascinated but you'll never say. I'm still in love with you, let's just swallow our pride and give each other's the time of day. I'm still your weakness, you believe I'm that gullible and I don't know at all……because I stuck my pin through your Voodoo corpse right in the heart, and then you gave me a call. I heard the sorrow in your voice and I know you sensed my tears, with the so unslick cracks in my voice and sniffles flooding your ears. I'm yours, and you're mine, last time I said it was the last time……but you're the love of my life and even if we're not together that'll last a lifetime.*

"Poet Boy" I met this kid... that kept his writings hid. Since a small boy, he kept his artwork hid. No one ever knew all the writings he did. That night we met, That night I'll never forget. I was under the moonlight feeling sad... He must of sensed that I was feeling insanely mad. Him a kid; me an adult, Before I could question as to why a boy his age was out that late, without a word he raised his shirt revealing the artwork he always kept hid, His blue eyes matched mine tear after tear, He must of knew the secret I did bear, So without hesitation, I raised my sleeve's to reveal my scarred skin of poetry. I know this may sound strange but that night both of our live's suddenly began to change, We haven't crossed paths since, But we share something of a 6th sense, He's happy now and shares his artwork in museums of famous names, As for me, I'm old at the age of ninety-three and my poetry resides in books of famous names.   #PoetBoywrittenbyme@VenjencieArnoldon04_04_2018. # https://www.yourquote.in/jenciearnold

"Poet Boy"
That's Mugwort and that's Red Sorrel and that over there is Red Campion Jane said we were walking on the Downs the sky summery warm almost cloudless cattle mooed nearby a flock of birds flew over our heads her hand held mine skin on skin warm soft I sensed an appley scent about her we had kissed the day before and it had been other worldly and now I wanted to kiss again but didn't want to push forward but wait to see what happened and that she said is White Deadnettle smiling at me you know the countryside well I said well you Londoners know nothing of it but at least you want to learn she said I liked the flowery dress she was wearing red and yellow with a yellow sash tied about her and the white ankle socks and black shoes (slightly muddy) I observed her carefully wanting to know more of her of nature of us   and that bird back there was a pheasant she said we paused in the corn field and looked back up towards the Downs and she turned to me and kissed me and held me close and I felt almost absorbed into her body and wanted to feel more and more and she parted and said I'm no expert on kissing was that all right? not sure I'll need to try again I said smiling and she took my hand and squeezed it and kissed me again and the cattle mooed louder and a bird flew overhead spying before it took off in the sky high flying.

SKY HIGH FLYING 1961
Camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains was the greatest day of my life It was my birthday I brought a suitcase and my favorite dame and hiked 2 miles UP^^^^^^^^ laughing all the way UP ^^^^^in the Ozarks Medics were shooting steroids in my **** BUT, never been more in love with a man who injects grief in my veins Dwelling in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains sensed his vibe Yes, Jesus I feel you here held en el Rio Grande con mis mejor amigos drooling in the hot springs Taos has called our names ********* the rocky sand that is below me I find a coin from New Zealand, in turn, losing my evil eye earring an offering to spirit's stream a pair of desert lizards we desire to get frisky and be alone we shine silver glitter under a moonlit glow witches cackle and curanderos hide behind coyote cries and cacti looking to each other with faces expressing, "What should do we do?" I guess allow them to do their thing humans need ceremonies too

Mountain Memories
First I thought that life was fair. Then I hoped that life was fair. Then I learned that it was not, but tried to make it so. Then I knew that it was not and sensed a loss. Then I tried to make it fair for others, Then I helped them grieve, But I did not And suffered long. Now others comfort me And gently draw the tears that never fell. And soon, Perchance, I will accept life as it is, And change it not And thus It changes me.

Coming of Age
there is hope like a rising sun on a distance horizon lighting up the morning sky pushing the darkness aside melting the clouds away the rays warm my face coaxing a smile squinting my eyes i take a breath, savoring being alive the sky is blueing deeper, clearer morning haze is lifting, disappearing life is awakening, stirring, moving the beauty is overwhelming, awe inspiring i see anew, with an indigo eye things i’d sensed but never knew i feel too deep, intuit too much beheld as a curse, repressed, suppressed i burned, screamed, fell into ashes my soul lay fallow, quiet, healing, waiting resurrecting from cold dark depths heart beating, eyes opening, arms reaching vindication from self doubt forgive me Cassandra, Cairn, Mother i weep, openly, proudly, for your grace it is the 9th and final gift

Christina was standing by the school gym her satchel over her shoulder her hand gripping the strap her hair windswept when she saw you coming she smiled nervously and said I wondered if you’d come this way why? you asked she took your arm and pulled you into the gym and let the door close behind you the gym was empty there were voices and the sound of people passing along the passageway need to see you she whispered why? you asked I don’t see you unless I stop you in the school somewhere or on the playing field if the weather’s nice you gazed around the gym at the apparatus the ropes the mats she continued talking her voice whispering you looked at her her eyes dark and staring why here? you asked we can be alone for a while she said she took hold of one of your hands and looked at it and rubbed her thumb over the skin you’re only 13 you said you’re only 14 she replied she placed your hand to her cheek we’re going to be late for our next lessons you said so? she replied you sensed her lips on your hand her body moving closer to you then she kissed your cheek then stood there her mouth slightly open thank you you whispered she smiled and went out the gym door and along the passageway you stood gaping at the ropes and mats and the high windows and a blue sky and heard voices calling from the playground from kids at play just another moment you mused just another day.

Jim’s younger sister Followed you everywhere and stood watching as you rode the old car around the field or whizzed around on their motorbike to the cheers and shouts from the fence Monica why don’t you go off and play Jim said yes said Pete her other brother go play with your dolls go take a run and jump she said and still stood watching you her eyes fixed on you like wasps on a jam jar I want to watch him ride she said and stood with her hands on her hips waiting until you stopped the bike and got off and wandered over to you and said I like the way you ride like how you sway and swerve on the bike and you smiled at her and took in her short stature her dark eyes her determined expression and as Pete rode off on the bike and Jim stood on the fence calling to him Monica put her hand in yours and said wish you were my brother I know you’d let me ride the bike or car and not tease me or bawl me out I guess I would let you ride the bike or car you said and sensed her small hand in yours her thumb rubbing against your skin but seeing as you’re not my brother she whispered maybe you could marry me one day and we could ride off into the sunset like they do in the movies in Jim’s old car yes sure maybe you said knowing inside that’d be a bridge too far.

AFTER THE BIKE RIDE.
He sits there, so comfortably, in his chosen pathway of truth and reality This man, before me, is well nourished on the fruits of the physical world, the place time passes honestly But, before my very eyes, I see he is struggling He has sensed the potential that this woman and he can possess But she is yet to join him, and yet to have the same premonition. Should your hope dwindle, remember this Hold on to that air between your finger and thumb, No, it is not lifeless, it is not dead air, It is not a vacuum for breath and life like the world we both still honour. Remember that despite such brief encountering, we have been kindred spirits for an eternity. Make proper use of this once beautiful connection, Allow me, whenever you feel doubt, to do what will forever be our strength Let me hope for you.

The Honorable Man
Strange question indeed, So I asked one and all; Explain to me: “What's a plumber's ball?” Family and friends Heeded my call, But none could confine, Refine or define it, Yet Paul was sure He could design it. Still, none could satisfy My caterwaul: “What the hell is a plumber's ball?” Does it sweat the pipe Or wiggle the snake: Can it clamp the ****** For Heaven's sake? Could it snap on the cock-hole cover? All these queries Made me wonder. Has it something to do With hardness leakage, Or ******** the ball-cock To stop a seepage? Has it anything to do With a saddle valve dripping, Electric eels, Or two pipes mating? And, I heard of male and female fittings, And should I worry If I'm standing or sitting? If you're discharging the head Or elongating the pipe, Does the plumber's ball Help it snug tight? Is it in my tank, Or in my bowl, Beneath the floor Near the drainage hole? Is the plumber's ball In the back of the truck (Jeff laughed and said One could rub it for luck). I asked Michel If he could tell, He sensed it was something He could smell. I sought out Ray, Perhaps he'd know, But he was on call To restrain a back-flow. I couldn't ask Gary For his wisdom and sense, He was wigglin' the snake To unclog a wet vent. Henry, Rick, Scotty and Brian, Gave shameless answers I couldn't rely on. It's not a crapper, tail piece Or Johnnie-bolt, Or catch basin, reamer, O-ring or pipe dope. So I searched the Net With a fool's wonder, And read of ball-checks, Gas ***** and plungers. I know it's too late To ask Rolly or Ross, For both of them knew, And that's our loss. And Ernie's gone golfing So I can't ask the Boss. With final resolve I fell to my knees, To pray St. Ferrer With grace intercede. His silence left me In a state of depression; Had Ferrer washed his hands Of the plumbing profession? So nothing could settle My wherewithal, I still didn't know, What's a plumber's ball? Suddenly, it hit me, He's never wrong, The Dalai Lama of dip-tubes, I'll ask John. Where others did falter, John's a rock: He knows the difference Between a gas and ball **** With a knowing smile He embraced our Hall: Here, good friend, is your Plumbers' Ball.

What's a Plumber's Ball
Strange question indeed, So I asked one and all; Explain to me: “What's a plumber's ball?” Family and friends Heeded my call, But none could confine, Refine or define it, Yet Paul was sure He could design it. Still, none could satisfy My caterwaul: “What the hell is a plumber's ball?” Does it sweat the pipe Or wiggle the snake: Can it clamp the ****** For Heaven's sake? Could it snap on the cock-hole cover? All these queries Made me wonder. Has it something to do With hardness leakage, Or ******** the ball-cock To stop a seepage? Has it anything to do With a saddle valve dripping, Electric eels, Or two pipes mating? And, I heard of male and female fittings, And should I worry If I'm standing or sitting? If you're discharging the head Or elongating the pipe, Does the plumber's ball Help it snug tight? Is it in my tank, Or in my bowl, Beneath the floor Near the drainage hole? Is the plumber's ball In the back of the truck (Jeff laughed and said One could rub it for luck). I asked Michel If he could tell, He sensed it was something He could smell. I sought out Ray, Perhaps he'd know, But he was on call To restrain a back-flow. I couldn't ask Gary For his wisdom and sense, He was wigglin' the snake To unclog a wet vent. Henry, Rick, Scotty and Brian, Gave shameless answers I couldn't rely on. It's not a crapper, tail piece Or Johnnie-bolt, Or catch basin, reamer, O-ring or pipe dope. So I searched the Net With a fool's wonder, And read of ball-checks, Gas ***** and plungers. I know it's too late To ask Rolly or Ross, For both of them knew, And that's our loss. And Ernie's gone golfing So I can't ask the Boss. With final resolve I fell to my knees, To pray St. Ferrer With grace intercede. His silence left me In a state of depression; Had Ferrer washed his hands Of the plumbing profession? So nothing could settle My wherewithal, I still didn't know, What's a plumber's ball? Suddenly, it hit me, He's never wrong, The Dalai Lama of dip-tubes, I'll ask John. Where others did falter, John's a rock: He knows the difference Between a gas and ball **** With a knowing smile He embraced our Hall: Here, good friend, is your Plumbers' Ball.

Words, conveyed by song, A white witchery of chering emotions, sadness, may anger or grief, flowing alike a river through ones body once it's been sensed, heard, Overcoming even time and space, giving the gentle look on your face some sweetness which I cannot describe, drawn in the landscape of my heart, a bittersweet melody unfolds, a flower blooming by night, "Bury the earths ground in your petals, oh widely blossoming flower" I thought whilst a breeze rushed through the leafs of nearby trees, making a pleasant noise, yet I cannot be in ease, after all I'm inhuman, As time ticks on, the orchestra of mother nature develops in a stream of lingering sadness, with a magical touch one that embraces me instantly, locking me into a trance, of pleasure yet also great pain, Was it my means or my purpose, was it my belief in good and evil ? With no further hesitation, I swallowed all those meaningless questions and move my gaze up to the clouds in the heavens above, Human or not, I remain without use for this world, what I realised is, That I am, Nihilistic ~ Umi

Nihilistic
When she falls into sleep Beside me every night, I'm often haunted by All the promises I made decades ago. So easy to make when Dark feelings were out of sight. Since then I’ve broken The locks on almost every door. In newlywed bliss she was Sleeping next to me one night. Still in that distant land She suddenly sat-up On the edge of the bed With her back facing me, Looking into the dark closet Next to her side of the bed. She called out my name several times. Already awake, I answered, "What’s wrong?" With back still turned, She answered, "I’m not talking to you, I’m talking to the other Danny." As in a darkened closet My darker-half was first revealed. My love and I were newlyweds, but In one year was the uniting of the pair. Through all these years, She has sensed with empathy My loss of peace and spirit And at least tries to fill-up The deep, dark empty spaces That are in the many chambers Of my damaged heart and soul. Only this depth of Love can, In its ineffable heat, melt Away all traces of impurity, If you let it. I have learned to let it.

If You Let It
i was weaving through lit-up boxes with lollipops as joysticks. i was following a fairy that left a trail of violet pixie dust behind her iridescent wings and streams of what do you want to play? i sensed the glare of a drunken owl's eyes singe into my back as i traced letters on the surface of a toy chest: i'm sorry baby, it read, yet he lowered his gun until it reached just the tip of his wings and he fired. he fired life into the words i wrote, life that made the words i wrote surround me, suffocate me. he was drunk on restless nights, wanting to f e e l love again. love, love, lust, love; does he even know the difference? suddenly i felt the flat surface of a blade stroking my back, teasing me of my death. are you having fun? do you want to know what real fun is like? his embrace stole innocence from my lungs and the kisses he planted on my cheeks burned holes into what was once a rosy pink, into what was once of joyful skin. you lost weight, he acknowledged with a smirk, you look amazing.
