No way to talk, when I meet you
No means to chat, when I see you
Throwing the hints every time
Needs you to understand any time
My stare is a proof of my affection
Your smile is an evidence of your love
But still boundaries are the separator
Social beliefs are the hindrance

Every morning I pray, I could see you
Every bus I take, I could reach you
Every step I walk, I could find you
Every word I speak, I could teach you
Yes, I am a teacher, you are not
Your curious eyes are cross on me
Your pompous walk is the hit on me
But still boundaries are the separator
Social beliefs are the hindrance

It springs voluntarily,
...it's like a small voice
An invisible separator, and
An unseen magnet...
Amidst overwhelming crowds in your life
You step back.....you analyze.....
Pleasantries...short or long, are flowery
Nonstop gratitude is inebriating
What could be better,
...than, all at once,
From out of the blue
...a rainbow will appear
A kind of force is born
...for both giver and receiver
An energy that draws eyes, attention
...it's like waking up from a long sleep,
Pulls like a magnet...an irresistible force,
That invites, with open arms
...it's like hearing a voice, saying:
"You belong here, with me, baby,
........stay!

On the night that was the 2nd of a month not like the last but the same as the others of the time that had come before it, lay nothing but a blank pamphlet written with nothing underneath it; the ink gone dry, the quill white as pearls, an imagination dried up like the desert outside the writer’s window. Gone were the wings of imagined angels, gone was the snow that had melted with Spring, and gone were the mysteries that had once had filled life to the absolute brim. Oh treachery, wicked naked sin – clad in nothing – you smear your own ways on the trials of the women that surround me. For I take your ways and spread them around like a deck of cards; my voice has grown weary and my mind has grown numb to how many you have demolished in your own wicked ways; goodnight to you and I must say a praise to you because you – as I have seen it – have won every single one.

In present form we wake for no one, for we are the eyes and ears of the present past; and how soon we lack to recognize what we never knew we had lost! But praise the naked green hills of dream spent in natural reality! There, on the forefront of challenges never thought imagined, rest the eyes of a man captured by the images of a mere camera! A challenge to the human eye! A man to the machine! A warning for the future!

When the voice becomes nothing but a whisper through the cracks of ****** rocks and the child with eye who doth not wink smiles at the death of their own parents, then, ONLY THEN, does the soft trickle of the tear of the angel clad in nothing but gold and blasphemy, there doth they rest for only the human eye to see who pleases only themselves in the fields with their crops and their small amounts of money and bootleg whiskey.

Empty stomach full of acid that prays on the weak of mind who crosses off the only thing they know is the thing they praise forever! Naked night! Laid wide open on the pine needles of angels wings with velvet for lips and pages of the best of the best for their toilet paper; nigh here I say you are the one I tell only to the one's that I truly love, for the secret in your eye is as fair as the oceans breeze at midnight, where no man can hear or see or even be - unless they wish death upon their physical self - for you are everything that the light encompasses and the snow makes their chill and the ocean doth make their wave, the way you sway with everything, but never asking themselves to obey. If I had quill and ink I would be the mad man and if I had typewriter I would be the noisy man, but since I am nothing but a man on plastic silent key, I am every man, I am you, I am I, I am him and her and she and him and queen and king, we are all the same when it doth get this close, unless the mind is the one true separator.

Where the dust settles and the gold nettles starts to rest on your door step near your bedroom where the boredom smells of dull virginity and lack of serenity, and every single mingle you've been invited to is something you read and cited too, then there you wish you were young with the way you were so tame, and instead of the life you knew becomes apart of you and the game you said was the same you saw the later day, and Oh can't you see that this repetition is just another way to make you go see your own aunt and uncle and Old' lady Jane?

With all the toilers on their tug boats of mismatched love, that swears that they were once the right one, for you and you only when you were high neck in the seas of Brazil, with a naked patch and an eye full of skill, circled with a smile while all the while your mind was away from you, full up with smoke that you never puffed though you already said that it was enough, and in the night you walked from corn stalk to stalk, not looking for that much talk, a place to rest the bottom rock so the mock of the crowd wouldn't keep you down and try to steal your stock.

She then rests willfully beneath God's own light, arched back, her chin pointed up towards His might. There she rests - for eternity or mere second - where she praises not her beauty but the way the moss grows slowly beneath her toes. Naked nettle of the pine tree falls upon her lap, as tears from her fearful face grows in a tight knot; each sky must turn gray, but soon, the gray will lift and life - pleasant for whichever eye wishes to see it so - will soon enough see it. Tangled beauty; uplifting challenge; mystery mother; sounds that sear through even the best seers minds; for where do you imagine man going if they do not know first to go to themselves for your saving? No question asked is ever answered fully; just like the snow is never fully melted - for it turns to water and then enters the rivers, the plants, the sky, and then all of man; man, Oh' dear human! What a responsibility we have...Holding such fragile beauty!

To hold, we do not; we only see what we wish to see, and when the whining knots of notes dressed in systematic "brilliance" tell us that this is us, we praise it, and say that "this", is us and for us and will forever be apart of "us". Clinging child born from a Russian way with a father's like discomfort and boredom; lost like a leaf upon a drained pond; lost like the way of the dog that never had a home; lost like the youth of where I came from; lost like the market workers that hold the same mind as the stock brokers; lost like the poets waiting for their words to mean something with purpose; lost praying in the setting sun that casts a shadow on everyone, not only the ******.

Yes. The face is brilliant tonight, the stars shine for everyone or free, and the movie stars are now just waking up or going to sleep or starting to work as we praise an image no one will forget to remember in a thousand years; naked nothing; naked word for a word, grim satisfaction for a reason to write a novel; stupid mind for a review from no one interesting, a fishing boat full of holes cast out in a sea that no one will swim upon for the waves have already been felt and drunk and swam upon; ideas ***** beneath a chapel steep; a holy trinity of oblivion.

When

One starts to see
Oneself in the sentence

With
Seams of will
Sinews of courage
Muscles of their own original self;

Know

You'll be

Home soon

I'm late again
for the train
not my period
except the one that
comes at the end of
this sentence.
I barely make it too
Saikyo-line
the worst place
for women and girls
but it's on the way so
I put up with it
even though it's packed
and hot and full of
sweaty people.
I'm lucky I guess
to find a seat.
There's a man beside me
dressed all for business
he doesn't look
in my direction
So I think nothing of it.
While I settle in
there's the slightest
brush against my arm
I react and then disregard it
as filtering air.
A few minutes go by
I text a friend on my phone
and the same brush comes again
but closer to my chest.
I react the same way
I move closer to the separator
and continue on with
my text.
More minutes pass
and there the touch comes
but now it's a grasp
low on my hip.
The boy across from me laughs
as I jump out from
where I was seated
but the business man
acts as if he was asleep.
I do nothing
Just like the boy laughing does.
and it goes on until
I get off
at the next stop.
There's a schoolgirl
that walks by me,
takes the seat where I sat
I should warn her, I think
but I keep moving on.
If you do nothing
Nothing gets done.
Stop harassment and assault. May change around wording a bit later.
She lifted the limp
wing of the crane

gingerly          Fallen
some days earlier,  it

had   been   fighting. Fighting
some  unknown  enemy  that  
can only be known to the rest
of  us  as  pain,  the  universal

enemy and binder of souls. Today
the crane stopped fighting. Finally
overcome   in   his    losing   battle
against broken wings, our story's

broken heart. As Viola sat by the fallen
bird,  she  sighed-  Not  the  sigh of the
broken-hearted,   but  the  sigh  of  the
sigh  of the  black bird  that  sits at the

edge of the battlefield
and   grows     weary
of the sight  of death

All things beautiful,
she  decided,  must
die along  with the
ugly   and   reviled

This great separator,
death,  unites us  all

Love and affection, bounded by blue water
The only place which make us vivid
It is not the pool where we only swim
Bowl of love, with water as a medium
No matter, where we live, stay, and work
No thoughts, when and where we meet
The only place which make us alive
Is the blue water, bounded by love

Purity, within it
To clean up all the bad sin we did
No ego, no selfishness only is the love
And make us feel like we are child
Rubbing and caring each other
The every jump and flip we take
Fills the life with joy of nearness
No bother, distance is the separator
But it is only the water which bounds us
It is not the pool where we swim
It is bowl of love, with water as a medium
as a memory in swimming pool.....

A Poem: Swapped my Love

I found Love
Like a gold digger I cherished it with the heart of a dove
I never wanted a separator
My parents plan was an alligator


Unknown to my granulated mind
They wanted another queen from behind
I love you my sweetheart with all my heart
I love you like the leaves loves the trees in its cart


Awestruck at the sudden change in arrangement
All my life, my Dear, I've always dreamt of a Loves movement
Between our glued hearts never to be apart
I never knew mum and dad kept an affluent queen in a cart


Away with affluence, I want love
They didn't want my views, they burnt it on a stove
I tried so hard to reach you
Their prowess on my mind made my fatigued fingers fall behind you


They want money, I want loves honey
They want fame, I want a queen, not an attorney
I wish I could turn the hands of time
So, I'll go for the One I love in my prime


Their decision has made me regret
A pain I can't annotate in respects fret
I wish I had no parents
Why should they be the supervisor of my loves rent

I found sweet honey in its comb
They gave me money in its tomb
Ah! I wish you would understand my love
That my parents have swapped my love.
