"stalling" poems
Touch it: it won't shrink like an eyeball, This egg-shaped bailiwick, clear as a tear. Here's yesterday, last year --- Palm-spear and lily distinct as flora in the vast Windless threadwork of a tapestry. Flick the glass with your fingernail: It will ping like a Chinese chime in the slightest air stir Though nobody in there looks up or bothers to answer. The inhabitants are light as cork, Every one of them permanently busy. At their feet, the sea waves bow in single file. Never trespassing in bad temper: Stalling in midair, Short-reined, pawing like paradeground horses. Overhead, the clouds sit tasseled and fancy As Victorian cushions. This family Of valentine faces might please a collector: They ring true, like good china. Elsewhere the landscape is more frank. The light falls without letup, blindingly. A woman is dragging her shadow in a circle About a bald hospital saucer. It resembles the moon, or a sheet of blank paper And appears to have suffered a sort of private blitzkrieg. She lives quietly With no attachments, like a foetus in a bottle, The obsolete house, the sea, flattened to a picture She has one too many dimensions to enter. Grief and anger, exorcised, Leave her alone now. The future is a grey seagull Tattling in its cat-voice of departure. Age and terror, like nurses, attend her, And a drowned man, complaining of the great cold, Crawls up out of the sea.

A Life
Sully suffers from a stutter, simple syllables will clutter, stalling speeches up on beaches, like a sunken sailboat rudder. Sully strains to say his phrases, sickened by the sounds he raises, strings of thoughts come out in knots, he solves his sentences like mazes. At night, he writes his thoughts instead and sighs as they steadily rush from his head.

Earthquake Poem 3/5/2014 What do you suppose an earthquake does? Sure, there are the shakes and scares, Seismic shifts accompanied by tectonic tears. But ditch this global perspective, Figure out what rips those ripples, detective. Let’s see you pound at the ground. Hit it hard, ‘til you hear a heavy sound. Is that enough to fissure some asphalt? Tell me, could you bring this spinning planet to a sudden halt? I can’t say for sure, what an Earth-quake does. Though I’ve been a victim, Earth isn’t where my quake was. An Earth-less earthquake, On a planet whose name I’ve learned to forsake. Wynn’s world wandered ‘round someone else’s orbit: Drawn to its gravity like grapes grow on a vine; Brightened by its solar system’s shining smile, so divine; Emotional tides tugged in and out; Guided by its mysterious moon’s midnight meandering about. That’s right – an orbit with its own time flow. Time that could stomp its heels and steal a spotlight, Time that could manipulate a moment like jello, mayonnaise, or some other squishy substance, Time that could crash course, while standing still, Time that could reveal something you never knew. What do you suppose an earthquake does? A quake could be anything that makes you shake. Think of quaking in fear, as an unknown figure draws near. Think of a jittery heart, that’s been bit by a bullet. Internal tears, think of organs bleeding, Think of needing, solid ground, but falling and time keeps stalling. When a quiet little quiver promises to deliver, its slight shock signal straight through the middle. When a molten magma core fizzes its manic madness, like a shaken soda. When an epic eruption carries out its upward excelsior, Rejecting the spinning without a stop. Oh, the mountains will tumble, The hills and valleys, they’ll crumble, And gurgle in the raging rivers’ rumble, As volcanoes churn out violent bubbles, Stirring up all kinds of troubles, For one person’s personal planet. For one person’s personal planet, These violent forces of nature can’t compare to an Earth-quake, When the ground you stand on begins to break, When you realize your senseless stability is fake. When that little quake knocks your Earth awake, It’s reality coming alive to take, and take, and take, Because for love, you put everything at stake. What do you suppose an earthquake does? I’ll tell you – it leaves a wrecked world with a cracked core and scorched surroundings. Just because. Just because, love on Earth always comes with a quiet little quake.

Snow falling the bear snoozing sunflowers stalling A Sunflower blooming The Sun is blinding Sunflowers blooming Mating calls for fighting a sunflower glooming Perennials rebloom as a sunflower tries to Sunflowers rebloom a sunflower dies too The snowflakes fall a Sunflower grows tall sunflowers wilt the dens are built Snow falling The bear snoozing sunflowers stalling A Sunflower glooming

My hair comes out but I stay true It is unreliable, like you I can pull it, twist it, I feel no pain But I don't see what I then gain You moved me and shaped me like I was your clay I didn't complain, though my fabric would fray I was too scared of going astray The way you think makes me shrink And still, I sink So I'm falling But conversation is stalling Faraway voices calling I stumble away, crawling I look bad, but I don't feel so First time for that, I know Everything I say and do, I was kept in line by you And it's weird knowing someone so well But feeling like you're under their spell Yet nothing you do makes me afraid Even though I'm in your charade A masked ball, can I recall Your face without fear? When the fog becomes clear Will you stop being austere? Or return to your old ways, a smirk for your 'dear' Like my hair, you are there, But I can't make myself care.

Regrets
The Syrian process is a serial problem When the disenfranchised Cause a landslide Of historical hatred The key that ignites Business and commerce Wildfire hearts And boiling skin The harsh outbreak of deadly cholera The blockade of the forceful armada The coalition forces Run wild like horses The bombs keep falling The people cry The engine keeps stalling The car dies The white phosphorus Brought by the white prosperous Can burn to the bone And wounds can ignite up to three days later But the people of Raqqa Are used to reigniting scars They're used to searing flesh That melts like tar Where this will go No one knows how far Machines must be sustained Hearts will be untamed Lives constantly rearranged A human rights activist attempts to send a report What he's witnessed in Raqqa Injustices; perceived and objective But Hellfire Turns the Internet cafe Into a senseless violence display The dirt, blood, and bodies Mixed and spread like the art That was ignored to lead to this quagmire Whether this calamity started At the Melian dialogue Or a market diagram Or a martyr's diatribe What we need now is an m.d. to suture the wounds But who will save us? When noble protectors are blown up And the reigniting scars scorch the hands that heal

“Amanda,” she said, in a bold assertion “We really are the same Person.” Limp in the dew and Wise like a sage, no wound cut No blood shed, yet, There was something this Bandage shut, Something yawning, gaping But I don’t know what… How sad! She’s crying, that Amanda, Shrugging ‘gainst the colic rain And almost lost in the copes-y veranda, Weeping softly on Those concrete flats, wearing “Red Tom’s And” both “Dating Matts” while I saw her fear in that moment, appalling, stalling With soroitous heart, “and fear of falling!” Binding them tightly: “That’s US haha!” How many laughs does a limp spirit draw? —(a disparaged few or none at all…) Still, she writes, “I am so glad” (a huff annoyed From Amanda, distant and sad, that I Can’t tell why “you” ever “joined.”) But this is not my place, a passerby, To pick up trash, inane and lonely, To cast my judgments and inquire—why? To heal the unbroken with words unspoken But scratched on refuse, she may “[heart] you” but refuse you, too The spirit of [heart] in Amanda awoken —(But she refused it, too!) And then be a token Some stranger takes home.

“Amanda...”~or Refuse ~or Trash Poetry #1
Wake me up I'm falling Stuttering and stalling With nowhere to run, and no place to hide A beast deep inside, Is rising Rise, like a tidal wave Rise, to every lie they gave Rise, for it is your time, To slay all these haters with power of rhyme Freedom of expression helps fight depression... Moment of silence On an empty stomach Then comes a rumble At the smell of apple pie crumble Moon is out of this world Annie is our favourite girl I hope no-one else sees this **And starts singing about my ***** ****** mind in a slaughter house Anti-Ducks about this life But with a Kiwi accent if I may Tis "Anti-Ducks about this life" We went outside, Still high Decided to munch and play games Forgot our phones outside Smash the boundaries, Tear down the walls Won't stop tearing Til' we seen Ben's ***** Break down barriers, Smack 'em down Walking past ducker-fuckers Delirious like a clown Smiling all the way With a crazy little laugh On this spectacular journey Into the past It's time to get to the end of this family rhyme We all pitched in with whatever we could find It's beautiful and grand, a real sight to see This Mafia family of mine It's our time our life Crazy running red lights Grand stand, stage band time to curtain call But it never ends, we fam! (Tight!) *Annie's the funniest girl Her hair blazes like sunset But she keeps talking about my ***** I mean seriously... She done yet???*

Poetic Mafia Family Collab
On this my happy and blessed day fondly I remember what Mother always said upon some naughty day when I made her sad stalling on her bidding and not being a good boy Son, live straight and be easy to interpret Life is a complex menu of choices. Still - you can cruise along if there’s love in your life I remember the wistful poetry from my father’s lips Creamy words spoken in jest or in epic tales and untutored philosophy when he spoke of his going: Death has come and it’s time for last words My life has dragged by but now how it hurries! Be the person that you must and **** the rest! A truly rich person shares what they value most And so it is that I’ve shared my heart and my mind In numerous lines of poetry that has dared me to write it On this my 66th birthday I read no ills in this number For I’m just a wayfarer looking for words along my route I pick the gems that sparkle and dazzle as I stroll to eternity The landmarks on my route are The friends I made and lost along the way The doleful souls that brought tears to my eyes The pretty girls that taught me I could never have them all I remember too the places I’ve been to And the songs of my people – lively commentaries on everything And how life always lay waiting to be lived My day of birth is my day of possibilities And I keep hearing the line from the jazz classic: Get your kicks on Route 66!

On Turning 66
I'm sick of trying to deflect every line of my predetermined fate I've gotta close my eyes, say my goodbyes Fall to the ground and let my bones break. Well, hell my skull has cracked. The brains I once contained are a mess and they seem to be less than what I had expected. I suppose when I let go I didn't know that my thoughts would be completely exposed and be utterly known. My soul is on the line because my body is bare and naked showing the monster inside that I have created. Something I have worked hard to keep so secret is exposed to the sun and it darkens the air with the breath that I left to be swallowed up by my sigh. Well it's no longer time to lie. I've gotta come clean, wipe away all that is unseen. I have fought valiantly but I have lost and now I'm paying a terrible cost. I'm a fool for staying hidden when all it wanted was an intermission with a decision. To rip out my heart and feed it to the dark. Instead I ignored it. And now it's eating away all the love that I once felt, all the compliments I have dealt. Well, help me save them from this monster I have created. But how can I **** it? When the villain is me. My eyes are opened with a snap when I hear the footsteps coming back. Am I really the only one to blame? Could I have saved all those lives; women and children? But oh their blood is stained and etched into my skin. Imprinted, forever, glued like a tattoo. This monster I have become is breaking through. How can I destroy the evil that sits so deep inside when my mind controls both thoughts, pure and putrid? My mind is failing, My body falling, My mind stalling. I know the truth. I know what I must do in order to save those I love. I must **** what I am becoming. I'm afraid there is only one way. We both know that I can no longer stay I must take my final bow and bite the bullet, swallow the pills, snap my neck, slice my throat, stab my heart, and say goodbye because it's my time.

the girlie man of Australian politics had the term coined just for him the tough man Arnie Schwarzenegger from California was thinking of him Bill Shorten is a ***** when it comes to fiscal matters that's why his statements on the budget are all in tatters soft approaches toward spending will never do the nation's finances are in need of a tightening ***** the treasury office stats don't mislead of go awry a salient tale they tell about a well running dry there are no Jesus Christ figures in Canberra to divide the loaves and fishes a certain amount is in the nation's war chest which must fulfill the people's many wishes the Shorten alternative economic policy has great sieve holes in it the nation's well being under it would be rendered unfit at the end of the day the taxpayer always pays so the ledger should be in balance without any stalling delays fiscal responsibility is good for a nation's health marshmallow centered Shorten has no interest in stock piling our wealth

Kiss me like the world depends on it. Kiss me like your heart might break. Kiss me like it'll start a riot. Kiss me like the ground might shake. Kiss me while the sky is falling. Kiss me while the world is ending. Kiss me while my heart starts stalling. Kiss me while our minds are blending. Kiss me at the peak of a mountain. Kiss me at the ocean shore. Kiss me at the drinking fountain. Kiss me at the prison door. Kiss me everywhere, In any place, Kiss me anywhere, Not just my face. Kiss me now, Or kiss me tomorrow, I don't care how, It removes all sorrow. Just kiss me here, And kiss me forever. I need you dear, To kiss me however.

Taking it slow was never really your specialty. First date, you showed up late hurried up and grabbed my hand, had me kissing you within a second. You always wanted to do what was next, what was coming you didn't like waiting, stalling, playing it safe you were reckless, restless had me loving you within a week. People called us ***** and I mean I guess we were a little ***** but I just like to turn out the lights and explore with you. People called us stupid, and I mean I guess we were a little stupid, but I just like to make things interesting keep things young like we're supposed to be. People didn't really get it, they were criticizing somethin' they didn't understand. We were just crazy about each other, and didn't want to waste any time. We were seventeen, just trying to stay "young, wild, and free."

Coffee
There is a strong sentimental attachment to an old dark blue pickup with pin stripping Hadn't driven it in years…its tires were loosing air Intentions of getting it road worthy were slipping A neighbor spied it … asking if it was for sale Saying he needed something like it for hauling With a sigh… I relinquished my keepsake affection With a boost… it sputtered… then purred without stalling Too late to reconsider and backing out of the deal... Giving a gentle pat to the shinny chrome bumper I lovingly said, 'Take care of the ol' girl... she'll be good to you if you maintain and pamper'

driving.
The solo road takes hold. I don't know where it goes, but where it goes I go. A midnight’s drive under a sky full of clouds, blocking the moonlight. Only the glimpse of a shimmering star guides my way, but to what I do not know. A night of indifference, just going where this winding road takes me, but I can barely see that shining star through clouds of hesitation. The road is a one lane highway to a destination unknown the fog is so dense it is like a layer of blankets used to hide the fears of a child in the dark. At this point I wonder if it can hide my fears as well. Do I even want to hide from these fears at all or should I stand up to the inevitable? My engine’s sputtering, stalling, my car’s running out of gas and I feel like I just might crash. I put my foot to the gas and hope that I wont fly through the glass and end up with my car smashed, because this car is my only way off this **** road in the first place. I see no headlights coming my way even though I pray that one day I will see a light at the end of this godforsaken road but the day isn't today. Some days I pray that I will lay on the road face down with a trail of my essence turning the road red with release but other days I carry on like it was my job to mindlessly keep both of my hands on the steering wheel and hope that at the end of this road, there’s an exit sign, and that all I need’s a little more time. Because night after night, my hands grip the wheel so hard my knuckles turn white as the fog that clouds my vision day after day. My sighs echo down this ever growing street, every twist and turn feels like another reason to unbuckle my seatbelt and open the door because I’m going 85 in a 50 and I can’t even see my own headlights on the road my vision is blurred and my mind is as foggy as the road I drive on. Every now and again I wonder what the point is I can barely remember the day I started driving, it was so long ago and I pray for the day when I can wash this fog away in rain, that I’ll find an exit and take it.

From the visions of sparrow vanguards that fly insatiably onward. From the tombs of ancient hearts draped in flowing, moth-eaten fabric. From the fighter jets stalling somewhere above solitary and succinct farmlands. From the bottom of a broken purple sunset that lies embossed on my brain. From the silliest half-thought left unvoiced in the vagrant light of a damp and desolate lamp lying in a landfill. From several mouths at once. From oracles cross-legged in caves. From the gills of a catfish on a hook. From mythical forgeries and the perjurer's tongue. To the subdued hope resting in a trembling hand gripped round its pen. To satisfaction that is oneness that seems to never arrive but is there all along. To the peaks of the Himalayas. To my spidered desk light, shallow with doubt. To my flustered and torrential page.

Where it Comes from and Where it Goes
equivacol memories of my past present and future writing other peoples papers better than i can write my own. music is my only vice on these cold days. These independent sounds breaking waves and my spirit. being omnipotent in a fantasy world. learning to trust the ones i need. recognizing that need. procrastinating my daily missunderstandings. stalling to make imperative decisions, remembering undying affection for a persistant happiness that is impossible to reach. only to let that effort slip through those fingers of deception. as i linger in and out of minds of those less deserving corrupted corrupted young souls. you're the only voice who's vibrations floating in and out of my atmosphere held any distinct significance. idealistic reminders pushing our hearts. the ones we try so hard to ignore. time was on our side and ironically we ran out. with ones heart in ones mouth you are spilling out secrets meant to be kept between you and no one but eternity. the inconsiderate notions we carry are losing depth. breaking glass into a million little pieces like those broken moments. lets sit and decipher those indescribable images with mega pixels transfering what words cannot. this is all what were avoiding. skin secrets burning into my memory like affection. oh how dishonest our acquired tastes has grown.
