"stampeding" poems
Bruised and battered a friendship Sometimes hangs by a tiny thread As we came to the edge Urged on , by all , but our own souls We stop for friendship sake Staring at the rocks of death below We walked the cliff edge black Hearts pounding like stampeding rhino Charging our very path Dragons of fear circle over head Breathing fire over all Pride clamors for higher ground Standing tall and righteous We fly high in the sky Preying like vultures Search for every fault Feeling lost and alone We seek the lower land With pastures lush and green And soil deep and rich Where horses softly munch Teaching us their gentle ways For the loss of a friend Can be to much to bear In this already harsh world Weighing like lead on our back Like the captain of our own ship We cling to the end As our world sinks from under us Breaking boards and smashing masts Many splinter blind our eyes As we float together in darkness Waiting , for the storm to pass Then the great sewer grabs our very souls And throws us to the earth Braking our ego shells With troubles of our time And sew new friendship To be born anew As only the friendship Which has great strength The power to endure many deaths That see through much lashing pain Can ever earn its name For friendship forged in great heat Will find itself sealed to the eternal time

FORGED FRIENDSHIP
Imperialistic meddlers, men of power greed and wealth Western Imperialism not too long ago was once put on the shelf Not too long ago this name was never heard Its name is New Order of DiSoRdEr But still us folk of sanity with eyes wide open we see their compliance lock-step herd vanity In White House spin gone amuck they throw their bolts of anger to all countries on the globe And with more and more displeasure we witness their destructiveness from sea to shining sea But now I hear, see and feel a distant faint rumbling the rising Valorous the rumbling stampeding of democracy by the forceful rightful anger, the free-spirited valiant word a word of truth and dignity, the echo of today, and aaah yes to hear the thundering of the mass To hear the thundering of the mass...

To hear the thundering of the Mass
what do i have to say to keep the zebra stripes from falling off and leaving only white? what do i have to do to keep the herd of restless rhino from stampeding you? what do i have to be to get the giraffe to come and eat from our acacia tree? peace is less than me and more than you but we are almost free

elephant grass
Delicious hues of blue Behind linen clouds Stampeding Slowly From horizon To horizon As swirling calls of birds Cheer them on.

The Serpent squeezes the mundane egg, for a moment in time, …to begin the ages, turn the wheel, and so begin the rhyme, The circus has commenced, a dancing, swirling motion, …a pit of ghastly horrors, seen as a vast deep ocean, …or celestial or cosmic, as some would have the notion. Some of them were large, although some were also small, …and grotesquely figured or disfigured, a scary monster’s ball, …and trudging, stampeding, stomping or slithering down the hall. There they danced, sang or prattled, where giants fought and where they battled, …thunder unto heroes rattled, with awful screams so frightening, and terrifying lightning! Scaly, hairy or feathered, wet and fiery or weathered, …conjoined, twisted or tethered, slithery writhing together, Kingu and his wife, some say it was t’was his mother, …his plan was war and strife, pitting brother against brother, A ******* existence and so morally depraved, …a state of sickly persistence, they found themselves enslaved. Then abounding voice of heaven, that divided night by day, …brought forth a princely king of Luke; the warrior Marduk. Fourteen engaged in combat, the one against thirteen, …and thus aligned with the ecliptic, at night they can be seen,   Sloshing in the Apsu, beaten with the club, …slain and torn to pieces, cutting channels of their blood, A north wind sent them to their places, fixed on Tiamat’s wheel, …and the starry constellations, did Marduk bring to heel.

This house has been far out at sea all night, The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills, Winds stampeding the fields under the window Floundering black astride and blinding wet Till day rose; then under an orange sky The hills had new places, and wind wielded Blade-light, luminous black and emerald, Flexing like the lens of a mad eye. At noon I scaled along the house-side as far as The coal-house door. Once I looked up - Through the brunt wind that dented the ***** of my eyes The tent of the hills drummed and strained its guyrope, The fields quivering, the skyline a grimace, At any second to bang and vanish with a flap; The wind flung a magpie away and a black- Back gull bent like an iron bar slowly. The house Rang like some fine green goblet in the note That any second would shatter it. Now deep In chairs, in front of the great fire, we grip Our hearts and cannot entertain book, thought, Or each other. We watch the fire blazing, And feel the roots of the house move, but sit on, Seeing the window tremble to come in, Hearing the stones cry out under the horizons.

A Painted Watercolor Sunset
The other day When I said that your face reminds me of a rhinoceros I wasn't saying that you look like a bulky box Or that your skin looks grey I was really trying to say that You make me feel like there are a hundred 5 ton mammals stampeding across my heart And sometimes when I look at you I can't even breathe Because all the weight of wanting this Crushes my lungs til my chest burns like an African desert Consequently most rhinos are found in Africa And I researched all of this in the hopes that Maybe you would understand You see the thing is I am not good with emotions And I know as much about love as I know about quantum physics And I don't even know what quantum physics is about Or what it means for that matter I've been trying to read all the romance novels that I could find I've been trying to watch all the rom-coms I can torrent Hell I even watched Valentine's Day thrice But I still don't know what to do when I'm with you I am unsure and clumsy and petrified So much so that I can't even work up the courage To hold your hand I'm trying, I really am It's just so **** difficult When falling in love feels more like Jumping out of a helicopter A hundred thousand feet up Without a parachute on One day I will be able To directly say what I really mean Without metaphors involving animals That only I understand But for now let me just say Your face reminds me of a rhinoceros

An Adventure In Miscommunication
Gemini sheriff of happy town kills all the frequent cow-catching waffle machines. He rounds up all his cowboys and retires all the shepherds in a cloud most curious. Somewhere soon there will be a better thing to do than reach for the cookie jar all life long. Unfortunately there will come so many who also wear the star. All them good folks are stuck in a stampeding herd of confusion.

Up went the roar of the crowd, Ascending, volumes above, beyond The everyday murmur of pestering silence. A futile struggle to withstand its force, Like a vast wave, rogue and raging, Slamming nature, a slap in the face of feebleness, This crowd roars… Not anger, not anguish, or grief, But a prideful scream of declaration; The masses make it known, and known again, Fists raised, pulverizing the air to a beat Of human design, of togetherness, of solidarity In the fight for those like us, a howl, This crowd roars… Stampeding feet berate the beaten earth, Invigorated legs supporting pounding hearts, To a beat, rolling with the flow, Energy infusing the soul, encased in flesh, bone, and blood; Marching onward, forward, processional strides Declaring and making it known with battle cries, This crowd roars… Shouts of proclamation echo the strident resistance With thunder, earth-quaking, walls crumbling, chains shattering With thunder, dancing against the discordant system; Proud warriors raising flags of protest Amidst the roar, roister, and riots, rising reactionaries Refusing submission, declining resignation, This crowd roars… Bounded together, by blood, by common cause, Mingling masses of forgotten arise with a vocal Outcry, intense, pulsing from the core (of us) Like an infestation, infuriated, a torrent swarm (of us) Flowing upwards, eroding all obstructions. Declare, proclaim, announce, request, demand, This crowd roars…

The Roar of the Crowd
I've never known how to properly end a conversation with you, whether it be a phone call or a kiss good bye. Fingers fumble and awkward "I love you"'s and "good bye"'s drunkenly find their way out of my sober mouth. I never know how to say "fare well". My theory is that I never want to say good bye in the first place. I'd rather be with you. Though you might be busy talking to someone else or in another room, I want to always be close to you. Saying "good bye" doesn't feel good at all. It feels like I'm going far away and I'm leaving a piece of me behind. I know I might sound clingy and suffocating, but I have adapted a terrible habit of needing someone around to keep me sane. I use to love to be alone, but now I go crazy with thoughts stampeding through my head. I hate to say good bye. But I love to say "hello". Our "hello"'s are the best. We meet with kisses and hugs and sometimes chocolates. We meet with wide grins and bright eyes that catch the light just right at six in the evening. Our "hello"'s are heart warming and relieving. The "hello"'s almost make the "good bye"'s worth it. Almost.

Rolling down the road, in a sunset town A pop from the tailpipe and a rumbling sound. Never before have you seen the town like this. Friendly faces, children running. Bliss. A sweet voice, humming over the airwaves Sultry and definite, like the end of this day. It's stampeding to a hault, to an end of days. It should have always ended this way. The raccoon, his days of mischieve cut short, Forever stagnant and flat on the black. No one will build him his tomb, an animal mosoluem, no funeral fort. What will happen when I die, what will be lax? We all stride to and fro, Oscillatory on this wavelength God-given. What happens when we finally go, When our own life is not living? Men may say that life is long for fear of the afterworld, For that untrodded territory in which we know not of But I say that life is too fleeting, For the fish which swim, the birds above. What is life, when put to music? Can you hear it better when the melodies mix? Is the world more rustic? Are we fools to its tricks? Sunset falling on faces of a sprawl, One day over, one to end them all. I feel an ocean rushing over me I find myself floating at sea

Happy Invasion
For he was a young soldier Who loved his Germany With all his honest heart Like a son and a Father They belonged together As he sank into his trench On the north side He was aware of a tide And had no one to confide For each each day he battled Against all rumor There was no where to hide As he felt trapped inside And had no one on his side As what were quiet whispers A fluttering humming bird Were now great big Rhino's All angry and stampeding Into the forefront of his mind Whats happening to the Jews And were did Alwin go Were did he go And why did I blank him The week before he went For I am lost and confused As Germany has sewn Razors around my heart What had he done Where had he gone As his heart ached With an almost ancient hollowness That echoed over his battle field His eyes all embedded Became a blood reded Two hot ball bearings Carving with a burning envy Into the enemy lines As pierced through the sky He said to himself At least their gallant fight Is in the just cause of right And he picked up his rifle Like a fire breathing dragon He roared lead every where As he drank up death Like a tonic it quenched The fiery hatred in is heart A hot lava that dripped with venom As his blindly sprayed his gun fire For he was truly lost And ran like a headless chicken Into the arm of battle As he sort peace down the Canons of a Russian tank How he loved his German uniform A beautiful rich blue With shiny new boots As I paint over my regrets For I have covered my rusty imperfection In a gold plated uniform I wear my thin skin of righteousness So that I may point To the naked imperfection of others I live within the narrow trench of my own pride As there is fear on every side As I call upon all my regrets As it is time to retreat Into the hands of my imperfection For I stand naked in the sun My ego no where to hide For I will not pick a side As it is time to let go of pride Regret is the Axe that chops down my pride The splinter that wakes my soul To its duties in this world Regret exposes the Viper That hides in the jungle of pride The pointing finger Is a sleeping soul Resting within its own pride Pride draws you into the Narrow trench of war While regret is the angel That offers you peace In the tranquil space of Your own imperfection That brings you new hope Made up in heaven That we can call on To save us from our own imperfection That one day we are perfection

Mister **** Pervert
If I was granted just one wish, for how we'd spend our lives, I'd have to give it so much thought, till perfect plans arrive. We could be lovers on the wing, soaring through the air, but I think flight is overrated, there's lots more we could share. We could be swingers in the trees, laughing with the chimps. I'm sure we'd be entertained, but there's so much more to glimpse. We could see the great savannah, stampeding cross the plains, being one with mother nature, but I'm sure we'd be drained. I think we're more like little otters, splashing playfully. Holding hands we rock to sleep, we'll never drift at sea.

What could we be?
When my grandfather passed away, my brothers and I held my dad with slanted eyebrows and stiff, silent upper lips. Because we are young and foolish and still learning. Because we’d never really had to do the holding before and, as far as we knew, this is how men mourn. We dusted antique left-behinds with delicate, moth-wing hands that fluttered here and there and never stopped trembling -- dead giveaways that within the corridors of our arms our heartbeats went stampeding, arrhythmic. We couldn’t quite bend them into the proper shape for prayer, so instead we ran them, with touch somewhere between float and feel, along every ashtray and age-stained picture album. In that moment I think we each wished that memory read like braille, but no one ever said as much. Because this is how men mourn. We honored our patriarch with whiskey, hidden away for what must have been twice my age, between the carved out pages of old stacked books. We drank like secrets. His portrait played witness. We promised between our teeth with tinged lips tight, keeping words in that might otherwise crumble us like great ancient empires. We singed and smoldered in a burn that coated our throats, quelling a choke that kept climbing its way up from a chest that never quite stayed sunk. Boys grow up loving the clinking twist of unlocking deadbolts but men peek through keyholes. Because this is how men mourn. Silent and straight with head only slightly slanted. But when my father betrayed his rigidity with words that clicked clean like unfastening locks, we traded this stale air in for wind laced with the electric taste of thunderstorms. We forgot how men mourn. When my grandfather passed away, my brothers and I held my dad with lightning behind bleared eyes. Because we are young and foolish and still learning. Because we have umpteen days left to dress in bittersweet vestiges and, as far as we know, this is how men live on.

The mighty Atlas, father of those seven sisters, Bears the weight of heaven on his broad shoulders. And even one of the brothers three, lives eternal; In Chaos realms, Tartarus' black abyss, in which No soul returns, to gaze upon life's light once more. Although, forgive me, I lie; a few, a few selected, Have returned from amidst heavy woe, pushing Down their sorrows. Orpheus ventured, With sweet song, motherly ordained and with divine, Unrivalled skill on his lyre, seduced Hades himself. I too, challenge his great powers; and with her skirt Flapping with speed, ride on Auroras saffron chariot, Cooking the sky's dark covering wings, to a baking red, While the sun gallops up, stampeding behind our cart. I play, not keen, to act the fool, and lay these pale ivy Laments in front, which my lips have yet not touched. I place you in the centre, forests following, clear streams Flowing as crystals sway on its surface; and yet, I have not put them to my lips; but keep them by. I praise not this, but sing, because together we sit On this soft green grass; now the woods are leafing, Now the year is at its loveliest, the cheeky girl Pelts me with apples. Presents are laid up for my Emily, I myself have observed where doves make their nests. I'll pick ten apples, picked from a woodland tree, And for you, I'll pick ten more tomorrow. You breezes waft a word or two to the gods' ears And to my pure white seraphim, for her to hear. I love my angel most of all, for when I left, She wept and said ‘So long, love, so long.' Wolves are sad for the folds, rain for the crops, Gales for the trees, and Emily, me for you. I love my muse, let him who loves you share your paradise. Let honey flow from him, let roses blossom From his pores, to pick flowers and earth born strawberries, To dip you, in springs of tears myself. My love is ruinous And the sky extends no wider than my heart. Say, in what lands the flowers inscribe your name, The name of goddesses; for who fears the sweet, Or feels the bitterness of love; let them drink their fill.

I'm haunted by ghosts. Screaming profanities, Shattering the barriers of solitude. Banshees cursing me, Leading them to the depths, Of the hell I created. The blackened pit, I the tormentor. Where my eyes pierce Sweetest fantasy, corrupting innocence. Filling hearts with dread. Dreams turned into night mares. Stampeding insanity, Like merry-go-rounds Drilling painful truths into The painted fictions of hope That we dream of as children. I am the madness your heart craves. And the poison that kills you.

They call me Demise.
hair tied with a nitrile glove cuff carved a sacred space adorned with muffled tile porcelain throne pod amongst the ruckus hohumdrum gods stampeding towards a visionary empty meeting with screens greeted with massed bodies, butter, and dust the divine light behind the porthole still shines even as crowds continually shuffle forwards backwards and past, that bouquet of projection rays remains sheening with eye to light machè heaven until thunderous overstrokes over indulge and begin to over and undertone every feather upon ears resignation of a certain kingship upon standing and yet wealth of ethic remains demanding so, stand.

These hearts have become racist What used to be kind And all hope to be seen is wasted On the stampeding blind These teeth have become stained What used to be white Has been darkened by the viscera of those consumed by the night These hands have become destroyers Fingers that once saved Equal and human; Clean or depraved These hands have become destroyers I feel you chewing the limb that used to be there Your skin is under my nails You're burning my fingertips And pulling my teeth You strangle me deep among the sea of leaves Flashing advertisements in my eyes, Listening to my every word. You tell me I'm sacrificing for the greater good. But I feel submissive. I feel hateful. You say Eve is the reason for the downfall of mankind. She is nothing but of rib and even bone cracks. Saying this as you dislodge my jawbone. I try to argue with you, but my language is gone. You say that a dog is harmless if surrounded by fence. That the owner of the dog should pay for the fence. That the ***** could **** or produce pups that would **** I am still without words and losing copious amounts of blood. I am poor and no-one will acknowledge my death. I am someone people will forget died and will have to be reminded years from now, during a cook-out or amateur bowling tournament. My legacy is that of failure and being obliterated, justifiably so. These people look to money, to colors on fabric idols, to pages in a book written by share-croppers afraid of flooding. Remove me, so, to remember me for what potential may have existed. Kindly ignore that I never resisted, and that I, the apex of forevers, was always ungrateful. That I conformed and became deeply hateful.

"                                                           " Within my dreams Illuminated Galaxies travel across Fiery dark canopy Maybe the Traumdeutung is too much Of a work before day's work Begins Above us is also below Us dormitory Dreaming of our luscious Bodies entwined Riding each other as Universe was a Wild Splendid stallion stampeding through Open Space And her sacred blood turns into the salty Waters Upon his black neck caressed by the noon Beneath hot eruptions of Sun's squared light beams Beneath his magic ebony knited untamed mane Covering by his pace awaken eyes thirsting For crystal cold waters deep in the distance Feeling the pull of a mirage flickering In the deserts of life; each one crying Howling alone to the full Moon Singing to us with strange allure: "Fairy tales do come True. . ." We have to believe!

Fairy tales do come true
You said, “Ask me what I am thinking” Obediently I did Swiftly you kissed me Tongue, lips, all of it. And suddenly, I felt E v e r y t h i n g. Chills up my spine Arm hair raised Stiff and straight Senses heightened Heart beating Stampeding Like a band of thoroughbreds racing. Intense sensations Swarms of tingling and tickling Like someone softly blowing On the back of my naked neck. A shock wave of pleasure Feelings immeasurable To anything I’ve experienced. This was no ordinary kiss Warm, gentle, firm Just enough wetness To keep motion fluid. Lasting only 10 seconds But feeling endless Like falling into an abyss A bottomless pit Deeper and deeper Rapidly dropping Picking up speed Until your hands released my cheeks And all the warmth left me. Overtaken by an icy breeze Compared to the heat I was just feeling. Like pulling covers abruptly off a body While in the middle of a slumber. I never liked the feelings of being stripped Unwillingly, unexpectedly Especially When the everything was so inviting. You kissed me without permission Then the position I was put in Decisions I had to make quickly after Because what I say now Outlines our future Defines our label Of each other. You put that pressure Onto me I wanted nothing of that responsibly At least not to that degree Don’t ask that to me To state what I think we should be. 10 seconds ago I only asked what you were thinking I was unaware, Completely unprepared To know I would be deciding The fate of our relationship This now sinking ship. I can swim But I feel like I'm sinking Having to live with the dreadful feeling I’ve hurt another person again. I got to be the lead As I’d always dreamed I never expected my role to be Heart Breaker. I want to go along with it, Put up with the charades Be the good actress And pretend things didn't change Say for your sake I feel the same way. But for this show to go on For my role to be authentic I must be honest. I guess some friendships expire… Even the best shows don't last forever Enjoy the run for what it was And say goodbye Because it’s for the better.
