"smashes" poems
the walls of the inside passage look the same from sound to straight tugs and plugs dot the coastline as the quartermaster rolls giving time for evening glare   pods are in sequence as the high tail smashes and jaws at the krill white bellies and sea cows bob and weave as bow heads glide over haida gwaii   northern lights dance and tlingit chant as the tide settles softly on savory shores their getting hungry in hoonah as the blue back and beating drums mark the life blood of the sea   driftwood nets and sitka spruce surround the cook house ravens and tinhorns man the scullery kerosene lamps flicker as clam shells roast on open flames   villagers stroll on pebbled sand *in the harbor of souls where ships set sail on might and mass into the steady winds of the golden skies* ice fields (to the north) of kryptonite blue cutting hills at a glacial pace knuckle clouds above the snowline where warlocks craft a hidden trade   trappers, skinners muscle shoals grizzly feasts in kodiak bowl determined pilgrims on a dead horse trail in search of gold the holy grail

black jaw
The truest bliss you impart upon me sends a shiver down each column of my spine, etching track marks over all my body, a drug no-one can perfect or refine. Your visage leaves lightning bolts on my eyes and a heart palpitating in my chest. Your body silhouetted in night skies melts my deepest poetry to mere jest. When we touch, it smashes my composure into oblivion and far beyond. When we lock eyes, I'm chilled from exposure but for certain, only I feel this bond. Although I strive for a day we would meet, with the others, I could never compete.

Admiration From The Backdrop [Sonnet II]
Face first crash, ****** mouth full of gravel, some say this is how depression hits you. Others say it is like a freight train that collides into them head first and smashes them against the tracks, Leaving bits and pieces of themselves in places they don't belong. Face first crash into depression, so unexpected, always hurts the most.

Crashing into depression.
Sun at its peak, everything outside is so bright, but her room is giving a horrific sight. She stands in front of mirror wearing his favorite dress. Her reflection looks back at her, asking "who are you?" She touches her lips, closes her eyes. "You're a freak and I love it. Can you be mine?" She opens her eyes wide, as woke up from a nightmare, or maybe it was only a haunted memory. But something is breaking inside. She picks up lipstick, paints her lips red. Looks damaged but but beautiful outside. "I love you so much. You're the best thing happened to me. Stay with me forever. You're my life." She walks towards the side table. A suicide note is waiting there to get read. Burning it with her lighter, she smiles. "Why are you so depressed all time? What is bothering you? Why you get this anxiety? You got me baby. Its all fine." She turns and makes her calendar marked 6th of July. Putting all pain behind, she lefts a sigh of relief as if the beast, that stalks her is duped forever. "Why are you so possessive? I hate it. How can you have a lot of Internet friendships but no friends in real? You gotta change yourself." She walks through the door. A new life is ahead her. "No you don't have to change yourself this way. Don't be childish." She is going down through stairs. "There is nothing normal with you. You always exaggerate things. Sometimes I hate even myself to be with you." Suddenly she hears a phone ring coming out of her room. Her stomach drops. "Things are not working out baby I'm sorry..." She is going back to her room. "We must get separated." Her hands trembling, her heart making a one last wish. "Why did you cut your wrist? I hate you even more now" Mommy's text was there that she might get late today. "You're a freak. Get out of my life." She smashes her phone into mirror. She is done with being all fine. She is not going outside now to show the world that she is strong. Her screams filling the room. "I love you please come back." But only echoes are there laughing back at her. And here she goes writing again a suicide note.

like a good poet, I whine and whinny: the muses are unreliable, get too much paid vacation, unlimited unpaid, and pretend their cells are out of range, even when they are in bed with you and you’re near desperate to cop a feel of inspiration my problem is a variation on the theme. Everyday I jot down too many possibilities, a handful of words added to the list of pound bound childless titles, sad faced orphans, dogs and cats, squeaking “pick me, pick me,” our reply a casual “you on the list” rather than admit they are titled, but bodiless until cupid smashes a cupcake in my face and the bell rings there they stand - at a friendless crossroads - direction home, path unknown, awaiting a poet tour guide to complete them if this sounds a bit like a bad achy breaky country song, then you and I, on the same side of where I could be headed cause at the friendless crossroads, always unsure, left foot first?  that first line, first step, could be a false messiah, or a free-at-last, a free-at-last emancipation but there are no sidelines in a forest there no sidelines in a poet’s mind; there are the minefields of mindfulness that can explore explode and explain why it is tempting to believe that every gifted one deserves a break today but you cannot be broken or break off from the community “Hillel said: Do not separate yourself from the community; and do not trust in yourself until the day of your death. Do not judge your fellow until you are in his place. Do not say something that cannot be understood but will be understood in the end. Say not: When I have time I will study because you may never have the time” my friend, substitute writing poetry for study, for study is for us the analysis of everything, that is, everything we say, see and know the need to communicate so those who abide in the life of good words will not suffer an abdication (yours) do not think there are friendless crossroads, there are only crossroads that the eye cannot yet see a fellow sojourner coming toward him, bearing an oversized load of the inside insight of responsibility that demands sharing that is why we call our meetings at a crossroads, a cross

A plan needs to start now The Hulk uses his strength ****** creating a deep hole being a straight line leading to the river, which makes the Butter head for it Later, Thor and Ironman make the Butter dissolve Meanwhile at the Popcorn Factory, Popcorn Man and every villain known to the Avengers are plotting the kennels in forming an army to over throw Gotham City, where Popcorn Man will be the Mayor in Control But behold It is not going without a fight from the Avengers Hulk smashes here and there Wonder Woman and Captain America battle with the mission to villains in beware Thor and Ironman team up and utilize combined resources Well all the Avengers forces win out Popcorn Man and Villains have loss their punch They are taken away to jail The Avengers mission in they didn’t fail Superman regained his strength Batman and Robin escaped their ordeal The Avengers stand hand in hand with a sunrise and sunset that will continue to shine, and let all Villains know, “Where there are the Avengers comes might”.

The curves that could **** a man Aren't at her hips But dance around her lips As words that serve neither to stroke nor strangle the silence that tangles inside your grip, but sings and breathes beneath wings of wit from Those casually crafted curves Weaving a wind into a wave Never tumbleweeding out But either darting Or floating To and through you As an inner voice would Had you not muffled it with music And reduced it to one or two loose lipped quips and semantic antics Curves, warm with form and with friction Neither liquid or gas in state With no mass but with weight They're past but don't pass away They lay aloft, lingering in the light they were given unto Or, did they bring the light to you? Oh yes. Sultry sounds of synchronizing synapses Seep and slide deep inside, into the spaces That two souls so similar, long have sat Seemingly separate from the infinite vastness Telepathic, though she doesn't act it. Hourglass figure, go figure The hourglass smashes Or remains undetected, in those seconds The curves that could **** a man Form the words that could resurrect him.

Curves
Masochism is my favorite way to love; I adore deeply the one that is eager to leave me in the dust for his superficial passions. I cry infinitely as the rain over the Pacific, but it does not storm. It only blinds me with stinging tears that make a shore invisible. I had you wrapped around my finger, and you slipped off like an oversized ring, falling between the spaces of a gutter to travel sewers of risk; rank with the smell of doubt and returning loneliness. I travel these sewers barefoot with your risks up to my ankles, searching for you, my ring, dress hiked up to run as if you hadn't already seen such exposed leg. But only I splash. My lover is elusive. When he trembles in anger, he comes to me; when I tremble, he only flees. He does not understand his debts. I do, only I don't wish that he pay. My kindness is self-mutulation, for I know he will not appreciate my generosity. I think of him while he daydreams of riches and soaks in his wanderlust. I am simply a piece, a fragment, a speck of dust swimming among many in a ray of sunlight. I am not something he truly wishes to strive for. This murders me, and smashes my already broken heart into smaller, sharper pieces that seem harmless, but develop greater capacity to cut flesh.

Consequences
Through loud crashes And heroic smashes Through long nights and lonely walks July you stayed by my side. July, you were there When few could claim thus. You showered your care When others made hardly a fuss. July, you were there When the bottom fell out July so fair, so constant When all I could do was shout July, You were my first days without her My first lonely nights, my misery, my muse, my history, my news July I don't know why you came to me Or how I ended up with you at my side. But now that time has past, and those wounds have scared and healed I'm ready to return to you and say that Im grateful for you, and for those really hard nights. They taught me the brevity of life. They taught me to hold on: To those I love a little tighter, To those I cherish a little deeper, To stay up talking a little longer, To drive a little farther, To try a little harder, To love a little richer July July, I cry to think I cry to remember I cry to retrace those summer steps Those first days without her. July July, Thank you for being there When I didn't understand And I couldn't comprehend. Though I didn't see it You were what was best.

I ask what your favourite word is. You say you don’t have one, and I don’t understand. See. I’m a poet. I tried hard not to be, Rejected it with every Fibre of who I am but Words form in ways I can’t Negate. See, You speak and I notice There’s more in what you say than You know. Your voice is delicate, Not in the way you sound words But the way you phrase sentences, Like the subject is something to be hidden behind premises. Some people grab chance by the throat, ****** you right into the center, Until you’re drowning in meaning And unable to listen to anything but the Beat, B-, Beat, Of your heart but Not you. I can respect that. You’re all tact and logic and It’s not about feeling It’s about thought process and I still don’t understand. See, my tongue is clumsy, It stutters and stumbles and smashes its way through life, But it finds meaning where there isn’t any, Notes how you say “Spoke”, not “talked”, How you dance through every word in the English language because Deciding on the right one Has to be perfect. I think that, You are perfect. My favourite word is puddle. I don’t know why, but When I say it, my tongue kicks my teeth and It reminds me of the way my Consonants get heavier with ******* in my brain. It makes language ridiculous, Because the end of its vowel is so sudden It should cut But it’s so ******* round. Puddle. I can’t explain, not in words, But I smile when you say it and I promise you that sometimes language is less about logic And more about that feeling in your gut When you look at me and verbs flow out of your mouth And for once you’re not thinking And, - "I love you." If you thought, it wouldn’t be true and - "I love you." Cogs whir to a halt and, "I love you." I don’t trust you for a second because My mind is now skipping stones across oceans Waiting for depth to show, yet There’s nothing below, but still, Sail away with me. Let’s leave language behind and use touch to define The borders between where I start And you stop. We’ll find they’re less obvious than we’d thought, Because I love you. Not in the way that I say it but In the way that your presence makes my stomach churn out musical notes And I was broken, but I don’t want to seem desperate and I guess that when you say you that don’t have a favourite I realise, Puddle’s a scapegoat. My favourite word is whatever name you’d give for the Goosebumps on your skin when I touch you. My favourite word is the colour of your eyes. My favourite word is the way your voice goes real high when you’re excited. My favourite word is how I can feel where you touched my flesh, for days after we last met. My favourite word Is you But I’m too shy to say it. So here, take puddle, And run away with it.

A brick falls A feather falls Which hits the ground first? The brick smashes into pebbles While the feather hovers down, Oh so gentlly Is it the same case with people? The weight of the world makes us Like the brick Guilt, fear, anger In our hearts as we sink A feather falls It makes no sound, no crashing noise Yet it reaches its destination With great poise Twisting and turning And correcting itself Watch the brick fall No twists and turns, no direction Straightforward, with no correction It comes with a roaring thud Known only by the noise it makes Ignorant of its own mistakes Pulled down by the haul Of its own weight Be like the feather Be weightless! It does not mean You are late touching ground You just take your tender time Getting there Be like the feather Be complicated! Without twists and turns There can be no correction Recognize mistakes And learn from them Be like the feather Be flexible! Do not fall so hard To one destination You never know where The winds will guide you The brick falls The feather falls The brick lands The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather lands

A Feather Falls
Wailing walls, howling fences Encaged and blocked by barriers All smashed, sorted in security fence Miles of humanity and flesh torn apart Why is it that we can’t live together? We bleed the same coagulating blood Lined up and humiliated in alleyways Paths of iron bars and imprisonment My veins wringed, intensive torment Mentally distracted, strained by grief Settlement, conflicts and border struggles Governance, religious trickles of disunion The biblical birthright verses human rights The unsighted straining peace settlement Shadows of the peace blueprint screams Ongoing reconciliation, milked in small doses Whose home is whose? Subdivided in areas Controls of disillusionment undisclosed Unmanned checkpoints evokes fears Revolving cameras tossed and turned Bansky slogan “make hummus not war” Smashes freedom to uproot  and merge Constitute and construct peaceful resorts All horns blowing to collapse duality

I have come to understand things in a rational way. Even love, that endless mystery, can be broken down into respect, reliance, trust and patience With ample evidence available for each category. But a blast from your long-ago eyes destroys the shelves, smashes the glass cases and smothers the labels in cryptic Pagan pictograms I have no words, only a feeling warm and welcome that something remains forever, unexplained.

Southeast, and storm, and every weathervane shivers and moans upon its dripping pin, ragged on chimneys the cloud whips, the rain howls at the flues and windows to get in, the golden rooster claps his golden wings and from the Baptist Chapel shrieks no more, the golden arrow in the southeast sings and hears on the roof the Atlantic Ocean roar. Waves among wires, sea scudding over poles, down every alley the magnificence of rain, dead gutters live once more, the deep manholes hollow in triumph a passage to the main. Umbrellas, and in the Gardens one old man hurries away along a dancing path, listens to music on a watering-can, observes among the tulips the sudden wrath, pale willows thrashing to the needled lake, and dinghies filled with water; while the sky smashes the lilacs, swoops to shake and break, till shattered branches shriek and railings cry. Speak, Hatteras, your language of the sea: scour with kelp and spindrift the stale street: that man in terror may learn once more to be child of that hour when rock and ocean meet.

Hatteras Calling
rock smashes scissors break our swords Scissors cut paper tear up our poetry paper covers rock. shielded by policy we have our voices. all rock, all scissor, all paper. all spock, all lizard we do not play games, we Speak. We throw spock hands like Gang signs spit parsel tongue at pride haters we write love letters to revolution We cut red tape with our long fuzes Hit rock bottom, more bass in our Voices than god knows what to do with So we tell him exactlly where it should go. Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock They hold their pens like scissors carving history books into erasure poems We would swing our pens like swords. But no leader we trust has been elected yet. We would have a leader to guide us But snakeoil salesmen plague our trenches. There would be no snakeoil salesmen if we had a stable government We would have a stable government but the stability was sharpied out of our history books. And To history, loud voices sound like the fires of god. And are we not the voices with more bass then God knows what to do with. without words on the wind, There is no flame so aren't we fire. We all have tealights waiting in cold oven hearts. stone hearths begging for Ignition eager for bootleg promises of warmth The orange rhetoric of our future no warmer than tinders logo. or a video recording of a fireplace flickering on a flatscreen at best buy. We are distracted constantly. misdirected by Houses of paper cards origami swans we don't dare unfold Staying ignorant of the tire track liner inside. origami swans are so much more beautiful when they have secrets, right? I have a matchstick watch me strike it lit flare this paper swan into a pheonix. And hold it in my fist. there will be fire. and it will not be a metaphor But It will be a revolution And it will be a pheonix and the pheonix WILL be a metaphor The Rabbi at Temple Beth El said when a mans consumed by gods fire it is a severance from faith, a spiritual death. what have we done if not lost faith in our government? Been consumed by the fires of god. and why not tattoo pheonix feathers on our backs? at least this death gave us warmth. a home in the world's ashes. I stared at the dragons fire that stormed towards me thanked it for the oppurtunity to walk out of this world holding dragons eggs Like Daneris Tygareon and they will be real dragons. incubated by REAL fire despite this crumbling cataclysm you call a great america. Spock handed Lizards larger and louder with all the rocks paper and scissors they need to set the world on fire. To Finally see something beautiful be born. A Home that keeps them warm.

She smashes windows
True darkness materializes On the precipice of the mourning tower Wails of agony ring throughout chambers of antiquity Where the souls linger in misery A discordant choir rises up amidst the still air And here death becomes an entity Endless torrent of pain, death, and doom Mindless shells of men march with hearts of gloom Skies of grey rain tears of blood Hope had its throat slit, face down in mud Pointless existence Subject to extreme animosity Endless voids pool on the ground ******* everything down into the abyss Fingernails splinter and break as I try to claw my way out Nailed down in a casket, mouth sewn shut Screaming internally Misery smashes through me Like a hammer through a child I will lose everything here At the hands of this curse And I'm not sure I care to carry on A broken man, once driven Now devoid of any and all reason To keep living

Litany of Despair
I do not know why I travel back to you, My steps forever eschewed as I make my way to that sullen place. It smashes my soul and crushes my spirit, Your words, your lips obliterate the fire in my purgatory. Yet as I pen down each word, it never makes sense, Like the words I write now, they warp and distort into shapeless and meaningless beings. Do you get what I speak as I touch your cherub lips? Or are they lost like my heart that shall never come back home.

Purgatory
Blue streaks shew across the sky. Manic days and semper fi. Red dawn smashes out the sea. Honor is all I claim to be. Though I love and feel like saintly. I reek, timorous, spineless and dainty. But I have no respect for you! Till we are in court, tried and true It was the world, the world of defeat. I planted my flag on a daisy and creek. On a light dominion of my summerhouse place. There sit, the lovely Welterman case. Weltermans family gathered in boon. Farewell to a daughter, a motherly loon. I killed her. There. I said it okay? But don't blame me, she was just in my way. On a cold summer day, and a hot summer night. Cicadas bizzled but hardly struck a fright. Daisy lay sleeping, sweet next to me. Leaving behind her unfinished dreams But lo and behold, an undertaker. Ruinous desire, I decided to take her. My confession means nothing, my killing, an iota. So love would not infect Alexander of Macedonia. Down the throat and across the sea. Of loquacious gelatinous sanctimony. I'll cut deep without thinking, I'll slash without aversion. Ophelia and her love is a tainted ********** I bathed in the blood and cried myself silly. She only deserved death, that ***** old filly. No more would Welterman reek of my sin. To lower a king, to a peasantly Tim.

Tims confession.
A black cat with a grin and A scythe, slashing thru Space-time with a giggle Invulnerable & finite. Untouchable rabbit Stretches it's torso many meters out Evading a cannonball. Time to go to work; no doors here! Rabbit shaped hole in the wall Ever never fear! 4 Thirty minutes on a Sat. morning network  Talking animals accordion back From falling crate crushes Index fingers stretch their cheeks Ha ha ha ha! & a wagging red tongue, almost all week. Piano dangling by a thread Shrinking Shadow under your feet It's right above your head! You step aside just in time - An anvil smashes you instead. Too hard to explain to a real-lifer: This has no point!
