"spoiling" poems
She has lost count on how many nights she spent alone, spoiling her thoughts while sipping her whiskey at the balcony looking at the stars and the moon with intimate longing, and wishing to be one of them as if she was one, once They say that to live is the rarest thing in the world, as for her, life is always a puzzle with one missing piece, an endless labyrinth with no way out, let alone the dead end an unsolved riddles with no absolute clues, let alone the answer Sometimes at times like tonight, she'd let her mind wander to streets she has never walked before and people she has never met, with language she barely understands nor familiar with, thinking maybe solitude is not a bliss after all—it's an agony

Solitude is Not a Bliss, It's an Agony
You made my dad a grand father But he doesn't mind You've been the son at the back of his mind You made my ma a grandma And made her heart glow Funny she's never loved something that made her feel old You made my malla and me uncles It feels kind of cool To think now after being spoiled we'll be spoiling you. You made Akki a mom Or you made it official I don't think she's been anything less than maternal. You've made James a dad And a fine one at that Time will prove that i'm right and of that I'm glad. Welcome to the family! We were born into it too It's wierd at first but it grows on you. And we will do our best To make you feel one Friend and a loved nephew son and grandson.

What you made the day you were born.
Tiny hands barely able to hold a bottle, now drink out of one,containing toxins. Tiny ears that used to hear bad words and coo, now spit them like wildfire. Tiny mouths that would be forced to take icky medicine, now pop pills and insert drugs into their being. Tiny eyes looking at life as a breeze,no cares in the world,now turn into eyes that crave attention but don’t care what we have to do to get it We are spoiling the pure bodies we once had. People are sleeping around, when I remember the worst thing you could do is hand-hold. We take the things we had as kids, and ruin them. We honestly take the cuteness and turn it into ... well that's for you to decide. You pick if your morals are guided with a compass, or thrown away like garbage. Who am i to judge? But I've also learned,these days,My darling.. This is adolescence.

Adolescence
I always suspected electricity Ran rampant through my veins To make me dazed and dizzy But unable to sit still It made me prone to flights of fancy So I left giddy trails of sparks Blazing proof of my restlessness That once brightly caught your eye Once your gaze had found my own My moods came in swooning flares And you crackled alongside me Filling my aching, empty silence With shiny, blessed noise We burned so beautifully With my electric fire And your trilling declamations Light and sound intertwining Like thunder that had finally caught up with its lightning It seemed like Nature's order A completion of the whole Two halves that followed each other Unthinkingly and automatically So one day when I found silence It felt like Earth itself was splitting Panicked, I burned more brightly Stoked the fire just in case I feared that I had dimmed And been the cause of this new quietness So when I still heard nothing I thought my efforts insufficient And I ran my highest currents Until my wires nearly melted Thinking the sun and I were comparable And anticipating a response And still I heard no trilling No crackling at my side So I wondered if perhaps I had shined beyond your limits Swiftly, I contracted Reined in my flares and doused the fire Thinking sudden darkness Might just shock you into sound I finally heard the faintest popping Not quite the rending that I wanted But a break from quiet all the same Afraid of spoiling the moment I leashed my electricity Kept myself dim so I could hear you Though I felt the writhing beneath my skin It finally became unbearable So I flashed like wild lightning Lashed out and struck the ground Hoping for your thunder A dark and roiling storm Swirling raindrops and clouds colliding And deep, ugly noise All I wanted was your thunder But in the end It was only me yelling Screaming out for downpours Alone Listening to my own echoes Waiting for you to harmonize In the end I was always waiting Wondering when you'd chosen silence Wondering why I'd let you dim me Wondering how it was we'd ever burned

Screaming Out For Downpours

Too late to turn back from the flurry of painted snowflakes on a gossamer wind. In a whirlwind they spin up and upwards to the timeless lands. Frozen specks of crystal; perfect and unimaginable melt on my face. Shadows fall and they turn grey and the painter leaves his canvas unfinished. A soft white sea has emerged below my feet and immersed the world in white. Foamy to wade through and yet impossible to resist spoiling the untouched. Then sun arrives, and he brings warmth and light, and so the sky’s daughters melt in all their sweet virginity and the ground is rendered wet once more.

Snowflakes
The Christmas rush has started, and the countdown has begun Advent doors are opened, but look what you have done You've ridiculed the Bounty bar, and your spoiling all the fun Why buy a Celebration, if your not happy after one ? What's behind the cardboard doors, what did you all expect A gold ring perhaps, or the keys for a corvette? Why bother with an advent, when you have no respect There's no need for chocolate genocide, or coconut neglect You shouldn't be so outraged, with your Christmas Celebrations I don't understand the malice, or the advent hesitations If you don't want a bounty, buy heroes or sensations It's hardly a matter for Interpol, or the united nations Celebrations are your choice, there's no cause for your regret The outcome is quite obvious, why are you so upset Are the pictures not a clue, to what your gonna get ? No rarity of Bounty hunters, so don't mess with Boba Fett Are Maltesers that much lighter, in a Galaxy far away Maybe you will find Mars, in between the Milky Way A Twix or Galaxy Caramel, they we're for a different day But you've dissed your celebrations, and no longer want to play Some YouTube clips have surfaced, and I have read the blogs I think it's just pathetic, seeing chocolate thrown down bogs Your creating your own misery, as well as yule time logs You won't be very happy, when your toilet blocks and clogs On day two you still complained, and you wanted to resist Is that because the chocolate, was not on your Christmas list Would you be pleased with mistletoe, if you never did get kissed Christmas spirit has been lost, with your Snickers in a twist Some people are just morons, that's the message that they've sent Their expectations are to high, and cruel jokes are never meant Why is Bounty not as good, to start of an event A Snickers in your calendar, doesn't mean a ruined advent

Advent hesitations with your Christmas Celebrations

Your sun stroked fingers smooth my dusted galaxies spoiling orbiting blues with swipes of stardust. You kiss meteors, murmur how you savored snippets of Jupiter's moons in the spaces of a poetic eclipse. Adorning Saturn's rings in your nebulous tombs, rekindling your smile with flames of lovers past. The memory is still buried within my core, a pounding resonance that evokes the bloom of summers kiss on Earth. A welcome release for the nights wandering stars.

Alienation
Gloomy  morning attempts, lazily an abstract, on the damp canvas eastern sky extends, halfheartedly smearing, dark monsoon clouds along with some white and grey patches, then slowly, warms up to a red mood; as if by a second thought adds full of flight of birds, for an effect. Avian splay, what a display! The sun visibly gets pale, upset being just a part of the picture, unable to dominate, as his usual practice. Not at all pleased at the emerging picture, he sulks at the prospect, of more dull, vain clouds rushing in, spoiling the composition with their- chance  megalomaniacal dominance.

spurned sun on a monsoon morn
Time moves on and people revert back to their old ways leaving chaos in their wake. Spoiling memories, past and future. I am not a toy. I can't be tossed about the room. I don't work on demand. I am Pinocchio. A Marionette without the strings. Free to walk the world. Free to sing. Free to dance and move to the pace of my own drum. I spoil no one. I am me. I am independent. Stop trying to tug at non-existent Nylon strings because I will not be controlled. I don't like to be ordered about. Left feeling lonely and sad. Used. I do what I don't really want to do. We fight on new levels each time we are together. I cover up my tears and woes. Put on a happy face. Im sick of the stormy weather. I break promises and I lie to protect crimes and sorrow. I am a Monster.

Internal Conflict with External Conflicts.
I.  The event wall: The quarters going coloured: Red, yellow, limpid azure, white unalloyed; at the center, a dark void lightening, radiating outward - never breaking the event-horizon. Reverent circumambulation by tradition, is done clockwise. II. Reading the tiles Is peace in expansion or contraction? Incarceration. Staring at the tiles. Acceptance or rebellion? Time doesn't tell. III. Prospect You are free now: making a mascot of you, we have set you free. While singing paeans to your greatness yet, we bemoan how coolies and ******* are be-spoiling our home. Rest in peace! We'll wait for Christ.

Hell shimmies when I am blunted ; When I take a knock to the senses When I am skinless, singing stings and misdirected by pain If I had trained better I'd be deep sea Sussing distant messages Operating with slight tremors, vocals and movement and only when correct... I'd be home I'd be instrument Not an act Not a pet to society No mood fool ; flaked, flooded and littered Rapped at by experiences Attack reacting An embarrassment Watching my own pattern spooling the same sums and spoiling with repetition

“I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier ’til this terrible disease came. I can’t fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can’t even write this properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that — everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer. I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.” - Virginia Woolfe

A Suicide Note
When love hits two people It's far beyond their capacity It's not a choice. Like God, bored in his kingdom, Ordered the angels To stitch them together As one piece of fabric Through thick and thin. Then the Devil, jealous of such union, Does his best to set them apart again. He tries loosening the threads, Uses scissors to rip them. He even makes little unnoticeable holes Just to damage the cloth. But they must be smart They must see through his villain attempts At spoiling the embroidery of love God sewed on the cloth of their heart. They must resist. Sometimes they do Sometimes they don't. F.Z.N

The Embroidery of Love
pale sickness you're white as a sheet draining illness your clammy white skin rots deathly light the diseased white sun will bleach your bones after the doves pick them clean sickly white your cracked teeth clatter out of your skull dominos in a dead white jar trembling hands the color of spoiling milk carefully cradle an almost translucent infant mother and child both far too weak to feed the only thing that grows here is decay white mold thrives on your hoarded white bread while outside the safety of the white picket fence there is not a single soul who does not recognize the white of an unburied skeleton under a full moon

Riding in the car with sweaty palms playing loud, fast songs Getting a bit jittery and maybe a tad bit anxious. Wondering when it will be that I can get High with you next to me. -On my way to you, -my drug dealer -who only deals the finest touches -and most esquisite caresses My vision is getting a bit blurry and my thoughts stray from the road to thoughts of your face and I get that message that I get to see you soon so I slow down and take that exit off the hiway turn around and tell you to head my way. You get in the car and the smiles begin the hand touching and knee grabbing and its a wonder that I can still drive in this altered state of mind. We speak some words about this and that nothing too funny yet we laugh until our sides hurt. Im in love with you my drug dealer, my ultimate healer my mind eraser. The chemicals start flowing and I wonder if im spoiling the moment with scientific physioligical thoughts validating this thing called love. The chemicals that start at the brain flow through the heart and down to the genitals then down through the legs and back up to the heads (yes, both of them) and I can’t get over how much we feel the same way and how even to this day things have not seemed to change Hoping I don’t ever build up too much of a tolerance to the chemicals you make me feel my wonderful man, with the drugs you deal and all the pain you ****

Drug Dealing - pt. 2 In the Car
Rhyme, the rack of finest wits, That expresseth but by fits True conceit, Spoiling senses of their treasure, Cozening judgment with a measure, But false weight; Wresting words from their true calling, Propping verse for fear of falling To the ground; Jointing syllabes, drowning letters, Fast'ning vowels as with fetters They were bound! Soon as lazy thou wert known, All good poetry hence was flown, And art banish'd. For a thousand years together All Parnassus' green did wither, And wit vanish'd. Pegasus did fly away, At the wells no Muse did stay, But bewail'd So to see the fountain dry, And Apollo's music die, All light failed! Starveling rhymes did fill the stage; Not a poet in an age Worth crowning; Not a work deserving bays, Not a line deserving praise, Pallas frowning; Greek was free from rhyme's infection, Happy Greek by this protection Was not spoiled. Whilst the Latin, queen of tongues, Is not yet free from rhyme's wrongs, But rests foiled. Scarce the hill again doth flourish, Scarce the world a wit doth nourish To restore Phœbus to his crown again, And the Muses to their brain, As before. ****** languages that want Words and sweetness, and be scant Of true measure, Tyrant rhyme hath so abused, That they long since have refused Other cæsure. He that first invented thee, May his joints tormented be, Cramp'd forever. Still may syllabes jar with time, Still may reason war with rhyme, Resting never. May his sense when it would meet The cold tumor in his feet, Grow unsounder; And his title be long fool, That in rearing such a school Was the founder.

If I have children Who have children I would be the Best and the Worst Grandparent I would teacher my grandchild How to ride a two-wheeler A month after they graduate to training wheels Their parents would be so mad But I would just laugh And give their children ice cream I would give my grandchildren cookies to eat before dinner I wouldn't be spoiling their appetite Because cookies are real food I would teach my grandchildren piano And give them a drum set My own children would hate me As the sound of un-choreographed noise Sounds day and night If my grandchildren stayed the night I would let them stay up later Then their parents allowed and feed them all types Of sugar and candies Before returning them home I would do everything A parent would faint at But My grandchildren would love me I would be the Best and the Worst Grandparent

“What can a poem do?” —————————- ***”A poem is a not a tourniquet when you’re bleeding. It’s not water when you’re thirsty or food when you’re hungry.

Monday
A meal in the morning is made to sustain till noon. A meal at noon keeps dinner in tune. The schedule is precise with each meal separated, By the ticks and tocks of a internal clock. Yet here the feast has begun. Too soon for lunch, too late for breakfast, yet just in time to spoil the dinner, Just as the apple spoiled the dawn of man. And here my feast has begun. My insatiable heart, attacks my mind, Images of what is and what could be make me blind. The prospect of another taste, spoiling the old bond. The place where a feast had been done. The budding plates wisked into my thoughts, I remind myself, She's the only one.

dimble dumble's day
dimble dumble, caught a, thimble thumble of precious morning dew. dimble dumble, took his thumble thimble, full up to rimful. on his nimble rambull wooly stu, careful not to lose, a drippity drop of the delicious dew. they flimble, flambled, up and overed, down and undered, till dimble dumble, with his thimble thumble, filled to rimful, on the wooly rambull... came to stumble. his face a crumble, as the rimful, roamed and overflew, the thimble thumble walls. a dribble drabble did scribble scrabble, down the rambulls hide. dimble dumble chewed his bottom lip and cried.

A few miles inland, Told to lock all windows and doors, There is Chlorine in the air, As England remembers Soviet Russia, Chemical spills tickling the throat of the century, Stinging the eyes of the children Bored in the beer garden of Britain, The roads are all blocked and the whiskey is watered down. People leave slower than ever, Swimming in pools of exhaust fumes, CO2, Radio 2, M52 bound, Vehicular nightmare wound, Lost in the A-Z of our Father’s arteries Reversing through his varicose veins, Stopping short of starry futures, Air pollution spoiling meteor showers. An end, an end, Over and Over again.
