there’s a barnacle scar deeply ingrained on the basalt stack at mark thirty two whispering summer winds scented oil cotton and roe drift as waves brush and shape the sandstone shore the briny air and lost erratic set a tone to this pollyanna portrait it's andrews undulations and gifted benches its concessions and traces of the barry burn its sculpted driftwood and sanko lines make this picture almost perfect children play as venom spews from the caterwaul pair those odd looking mates casting smiles with arrested despair settling shots swiping bugs dipping and darting as photo men and muscles and long neck seabirds make their turn the hunched hoody and his sorted sidekick get their fill (of moss and rubble ~ chubby and kelp) nice to meet your acquaintance the pho man would say an odd drop and ironic turn from those horrific corners of timeless desperation down by cannon bridge harbor seals and carriage horse are fronted by raven shade jolly tides pause in quiet bays (with curious looters and *** pickers) sand merchants and field totems all streamed by the light cirrus strands blanket the outer edge hovering craft and shimmering willows bolt the evening frame blood orange and tethered with a filtered glare bottle-nose dolphins and seabirds (and shifting tides) are all settling in for the long night stay

Stanley Park
Love is of God; lust is from the world Love is selfless; lust is selfish Love can wait; lust is got to have it now Love is giving; lust is taking Love is purity; lust is sin Love develops; lust destroys Love is peaceful and Lust is full of anxiety -Charles Stanley

Differences of Love and lust
My aged mum excitedly points outside White flowers burst open bright overnight She says they look like popcorn I love her metaphor and play along Flowers white like popcorn bright Tickled by the heat of the micro light Mum speaks of small things in her big age Sun, rain, wind, hot, cold, quite days The unrelenting pain in her legs and memories of things she could once do with ease She speaks of the coming and going of mischievous monkeys real monkeys - not metaphors She tells of how they brazenly steal her fruit when she is alone at home - teasing her as they walk backwards out the glass door slinging their stolen bananas like a colt 44 My mum sits across from me the sun gently brushes her short silver grey strands of hair Today she wears a pretty pink dress - patterned bright with pretty pink and blue flowers - reflection of the pretty flowers outside She sits in serenity - she is at peace - inside My niece pops corn in the microwave My sisters biryani fills the hungry air My brother in law awaits his birthday party I am at home The pretty white flowers silently blossom in the yard I sit across from my metaphor mum My poet, my muse, my loving bard Stanley Arumugam Richards Bay

Flowers like popcorn
His Down's Syndrome makes His age a tough guess, I'll Say eight to ten. Wide eyes on machines, Ice cream dripping on the Pavement outside the Construction site. *I wanna work like this when I grow up,* he says in Young enthusiasm to a mother Whose eyes well up with Gratitude when I approach And kneel down in front of Him. *So you want a job, Buddy?* I ask him with a Wink. He suddenly remembers His ice cream and bites into It shyly. Nods, glancing at the Tools in my belt, the scratches On my arms, the brick wall I've been attacking with a Wacker jackhammer. Nods Again. *Well, I'll see you in a Few years,* I say with another Wink, this time to his mother, Who'd look her young age if Her eyes weren't as tired, *But you can start with this And get some practice.* I hand Him my Stanley Fat Max Hammer. His ice cream Hits the ground as he Recieves it with both hands, Looking to his mother for Confirmation that it's ok. Oh, it is. She mouths a Thank you SO much... They walk away, his chatter High pitched and fading Around the corner. And I Head over to the foreman to Report that I lost my hammer. Don't ever employ me. I can work a good game, but I'm too soft around little heroes.

Stanley Fat Max
He smelled like my Dad Or like Old Spice and Zest He smelled like a person working on cars Or of the outdoors He smelled like fresh milled wood Or like a shirt worn with sweat He smelled like our living room Or like our dog named Stanley He smelled like green trees Or like a tavern where an un-known band plays He smelled like an antique dresser Or like a vintage vehicle He smelled like warm buttered toast Or like fresh brewed coffee Although his smell's been gone for ages I can still remember the way he smelled Sometimes I can still smell him

The Way He Smelled
As a uniform, he always wore the grey ironmonger's coat immaculately pressed and bore clipped hair neat as well as a close shave. Mr. Cornthwaite (all of us minions called him only Mr.) was no "Do It 'Cos I Say So" boss but with patience would teach and preach retail folklore: Cooks' staples stored well inside our mini-market shop advanced for its 50s' existence; shelf-stacking to re-arrange for early use-by at the front; fast-moving lines checked hourly if not sooner; trusted staff becoming the Tasting Squad for new fresh produce being considered for supply - The Cornflake (never uttered in his hearing) circulating to ensure not only that his ever-clear commands were reflected in full shelves but also that staff were coping not rushed or overwhelmed. The best Warrant Officer cares just as much commands as my de-mobbed Warrant Officer father used to tell me when I asked. (c) C J Heyworth

It’s the Stanley Cup Finals, The Penguins are doing well So I’m a hockey widow but on this I don’t dwell My man is as tense and excited as a first time Dad So they better kick *** or he’ll really be mad If they lose in game seven, I’ll get my husband back To make him feel better I’ll get nasty in the Sack

Hockey Widow
Pushing a key oh how it brings me glee; Content even happy in simple existence; Many may not want to be just like me, For a dry dreary job takes a work of persistence, But each button I press is a step to success. Merely a man without a choice, Only a puppet with no voice As I wait for direction with keen apprehension; I stare at the screen first perplexed then distraught; I see no coworkers it fills me with tension; What was that? Was it just a thought? A voice in my head, now it fills me with dread. He must choose to make a choice, To give his mouth a voice “Stanley,” says he, “walked out his office”; ‘Stanley’ is that honestly my own name? This voice I don’t trust, I will be very cautious; I shut my closed door so all will stay the same; The voice has not parted, I’m back where I started; How? The end is never the end is never the end “Stanley,” says he, “walked out his office”; Shall I play with him in his own little game? My other decision was not quite that flawless; I walk outside and am filled with no shame; “Rejoice, you’ve made the one right choice”. Now he’s a man in a world of choice, The one employee that has a voice I come to two doors and feel a great sensation; “Walk through the door that's to your left” What should I think of his clear calm narration? I walk to the left, trying to be quite deft; “You must not try to be uncouth, my words they simply speak the truth”. Does he really have a choice? Are the words his own real voice? The constant dictation is no consolation; I am led into a secret new door; What I now see is a mind control station But how do I know what is real anymore? Does this place control me, or the voice within me? This is the chance to make a choice, His opportunity to put forth a voice "Will you close down the station boy? "Or put its full force into motion? What choice do I have but to follow the story? 'Mind control', I'm dismayed at the notion; I think I heard the voice inside me just scoff, I turn the station off. Only a character in a fixed plot line, He does not see a contrasting sign Now I am free but it brings me no glee; Maybe I should have put up some resistance; Merely existing means nothing to me; I must now question my unclear subsistence; The voice has not parted, I'm back where I started. A man with a choice, He has a voice

Stanley's Choice (based off "The Stanley Parable")
Pushing a key oh how it brings me glee; Content even happy in simple existence; Many may not want to be just like me, For a dry dreary job takes a work of persistence, But each button I press is a step to success.

If you wake up one morning and your colors have change hue, If you wake up one morning and yellow has turned blue, If you wake up one morning and the sun has turned into the moon, If you wake up one morning and the birds are singing a different tune, If you wake up one morning and the light has turned dark, If you wake up one morning and you just can’t find you’re mark, If you wake up one morning and day has turned to night, If you wake up one morning and left has turned to right, If you wake up one morning and can’t find your feet, If you wake up one morning and find you’re still asleep, If you wake up one morning and find she’s gone, You might just wake up and realize she was the one.

The First Apostle Did you know your calling? When He first met you Demonized-Prostitute Transformed by His healing hand Your love-turned passion Inseparably bound to his being Scorned for your lavish yearning Prophetically anointing perfume-blood Head to hands to dusty broken feet Your walk with Him closer to death The rugged weight of dry wood Heavy heart anointed in knowing tears You stood by his side-abandoned By pharisaical disciples cowards call His love grafted into bone and sinew The empty mocking tomb Like your barren heart Devoid-all you lived for Rudely taken away Then He touches you again With glorious anointing Head to heart to weary feet With apostolic "Go-Tell" command Demonized-Prostitute Apostle-Evangelist Stanley Arumugam

The First Apostle
If you listen to what’s said, if you listen to all the chat, Some say this and some say a lot of that. When you’re hearing all the voices, It still comes down to making choices. Some people try to decide for you What’s good or bad and what’s true. Just listen to what they say Then make a choice on what to keep and what to throw away. When someone gets in your face, nose to nose, and tries to tell you how it’s gonna go You have a choice to make, you can say yes or you can say no. You can choose to stand toe to toe. You can choose to walk away or if punches you should throw. Just be careful what you choose to say, Sometimes for your choices you have to pay. Yes, you get to make the choice of the way it will be. But remember in life choices aren’t free. If you choose to tell the boss what you do and don’t like, He might choose tell you to take a hike. If you choose to tell your lover, you’ve found someone else to meet, You may come home and find she chose to throw all you stuff in the street. You may choose to love someone for the rest of your life. You may choose to ask her to be your wife. If she chooses and feels the same thing, You might choose to buy her a ring. You may choose for your bill not to pay, Only to find out the collection man chooses not play. You may choose to take what you want even if you have to **** Then you may find out that sword has a double edge and your blood it will spill. You may choose to travel down a gravel road so long. At the fork in the road you may choose the road that leads to wrong. You may choose not to worship and pray, Then you’ll have to answer for that on judgment day. We don’t choose when out life begins, And most of us don’t choose when it will end. From the beginning no matter what you hear from the voices ‘Till the day it ends, it’s all about choices.

Car packed and ready to go; on leave so we thought but it wasn't so; I suppose it wasn't just meant to be; T Air Defence Battery was going to sea; Across the south Atlantic Ocean; Well at least that was the notion One hundred and ten ships all packed to the top; Commandoes, Paras, Guards,  Ordinance, Artillery, the lot; This is it lads.  We're going to war; But nobody knew, what was  in store And all those mixed up feelings inside; Were **** near impossible for us to hide. We landed at a place called San Carlos Bay; In nineteen eighty two.  On the twenty first of May; To repel Argentine invaders from the Malvinas; Anxious, proud and scared.  You had to have seen us. Across the Falklands, the Task Force did travel; By air, sea and foot and not as a rabble; Objective Port Stanley for the final shove; First taking Tumble Down; Goose Green and Bluff Cove We recaptured the Islands.  They were British again, And amid all the glory, cheering and pain; We now look to peace for as long as we reign And no more hostilities, that drive man insane

Cool kid euphoria with our pastel colored pants and our Raybans on is what we all are in the basement of the 50’s house. Our phones blowing up while we sip whiskey and wine. Trying to get the attention of the cars on the main road By handstanding and flashing and cheersing our beers And we receive our victorious honks. Guitar clock radio with numbers around the fretboard and Sir Paul smiling and crooked, acid-trippin’ guitarist/violinist/celloist looking product of orange and gold look down upon as our patron saints. Swingin’ low, Sweet Chariot words stares up at me from the 70’s floral carpet. Ralph Stanley and Eric Clapton singing solos and duets in my head keep me company as the boys play and figure out key changes. Painted screen hiding the Etta James microphone stands forgotten in the corner— As I take in the teals and roses and golds. Give me a heart shaped box where I can store my love I fly so high in the world above I’ll come back down eventually. Lava lamped water stain engulfs the ceiling. As fingers go up frets And they go down frets And they go up frets And they go down frets. As you don’t enunciate when you sing. We all mourn our fallen brethren, the base of the telecaster with no strings and no head and it weeps silently from its place on the water pipes, hearing his cousins WAAAIIIIILLLLLL. As Cool kid euphoria is created with our pastel colored pants and our Raybans on in the basement of the 50’s house. We work all day so we can drink all night Getting high off the drug that is each other Chain-smoking Pall Malls like it’s our job Listening to oldies as we shoot the eight ball in the corner pocket. Garden tools and Lawn Mower parts as a sweet, creepy décor in the dank basement As we breathe in mold and dust and cigarette smoke. We are gloriously young. So **** off. We still think we can change the world. Not through politics or through fear or by means of war But by doing just enough to get by and loving everybody for who they are, even the parts or religions or particular ways of life we don’t like, Because people aren’t what they do or what they believe They’re who they are. We still think we can change the world And Maybe one day, we will But for now We’ll just be here, In the basement of the 50’s house with our pastel colored pants and our Raybans on.

if my pen were a surgeon's blade, cutting edge, razor-made to excise secrets suppressed in closets of guilt or shame; like the married bishop with the mega-church and tera-ego, trading ****** fluids with choir boys in the 9th grade on wednesdays, after bible study... like the senator with two right feet preaching chastity while playing footsie with perfect strangers on public seat # 2... like the donald's high-ranking apprentice who pulled the plug on mc as he slept then wept like boehner all the way to morgan stanley and dean witter, allegedly... like the mayor out west with pinocchio's nose and jefferson's zest for extra-marital *** lies and belligerence... like the late king of pop who so hated his beautiful black skin, he beached it white then paid m. lester of similar hue a loot times two to weave a blanket, conceive a prince and deliver a french city, allegedly; I would be a lyrical surgeon with a passion for incisive prose, spilling truths hidden, whole and half with the cutting edge of a poet's pen ~ P (‪#‎Pablo‬#ls) (8/14/2013)

Lyrical Surgery...
I believe in myths. Every naturel blonde was first someone else.  By that I mean, she was known as Norma Jean, maybe Katy, in high school (see reincarnation below). My teenage glory days, when I was the king of cool, will revisit when I am 75 years old, the man-in-demand (wink), wearing his lucky wide cord corduroys and letting my man-bun, all the way down, at the prom in the senior citizen home, getting lucky, say once a month... God, yup, after all, ***** cometh to me regular-like, when he needs a poet~father to take his confession, and pays me most excellently for refusing him forgiveness, with the most excellent poem suggestions or lesser valuable things. Love at first sight, of course, happens to me all the time, twenty, thirty times when I am walking home.  I tell ya, it's exhausting, the stress of living in the big city Not only will I win the lottery someday, will take down both,  Powerball and MegaMillions, in the very same week the odds for which there ain't enough zeroes in HP's servers. (See God, above). Reincarnation. One time they Hale(d) and then hanged me (my "namesake") and I said: " I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country."  Well, the selfies all show oh-boy-o-boy, was I ever grinning and winking. Only boys are bullies, girls get off easy, by getting called just mean. One day my city's teams will win the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals and the Superbowl all in the same year but only after I die and me, well, only after they will have buried me in Wyoming or France, just for spite, and nobody will hear me screaming. My children will speak fondly of me even after they find out I died broke, well maybe not fondly, but they will most definitely call out my name, regularly. After my demise, all the typoes in my poems will magically disappear. All these good things will come to fruition, because I am a believer, and walked the humble path. The autopsy will also show that my tongue was permanently stuck to my cheek.

I believe in myths
I believe in myths. Every naturel blonde was first someone else.  By that I mean, she was known as Norma Jean, maybe Katy, in high school (see reincarnation below). My teenage glory days, when I was the king of cool, will revisit when I am 75 years old, the man-in-demand (wink), wearing his lucky wide cord corduroys and letting my man-bun, all the way down, at the prom in the senior citizen home, getting lucky, say once a month... God, yup, after all, ***** cometh to me regular-like, when he needs a poet~father to take his confession, and pays me most excellently for refusing him forgiveness, with the most excellent poem suggestions or lesser valuable things. Love at first sight, of course, happens to me all the time, twenty, thirty times when I am walking home.  I tell ya, it's exhausting, the stress of living in the big city Not only will I win the lottery someday, will take down both,  Powerball and MegaMillions, in the very same week the odds for which there ain't enough zeroes in HP's servers. (See God, above). Reincarnation. One time they Hale(d) and then hanged me (my "namesake") and I said: " I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country."  Well, the selfies all show oh-boy-o-boy, was I ever grinning and winking. Only boys are bullies, girls get off easy, by getting called just mean. One day my city's teams will win the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals and the Superbowl all in the same year but only after I die and me, well, only after they will have buried me in Wyoming or France, just for spite, and nobody will hear me screaming. My children will speak fondly of me even after they find out I died broke, well maybe not fondly, but they will most definitely call out my name, regularly. After my demise, all the typoes in my poems will magically disappear. All these good things will come to fruition, because I am a believer, and walked the humble path. The autopsy will also show that my tongue was permanently stuck to my cheek.

Let us begin in the factoring of gin where the malefactors and blaggards try hard not to show us a grin. and begin. Factor out taste and factor in waste in the factory, in any case nobody cares,and the gin could be anything from nappies to ****** toys for the big boys and pearls for the girls,but we call it gin. and begin. They're all scammers,flim flamming their way from the start to the end of each day and we pay,through the nose,for **** knows what,(a touch of soylent green),get your brains on toast,shin for sunday roast and the marketeers,new age buccaneers blow us out of the water,someone should have taught me how cruel this life can be. and we begin. Back in the factory buying up gin with a passion,the fashionistas get ****** on the fumes and the poor people are shown only crap filled back rooms where the gnomes sit to **** out, tomorrow we'll sit out in the sun,spit out what's home spun and make money from telling funny jokes to the poker faced liars and the gin filled flash buyers who have bought up our Christmas and resold it to China, 'and it's another fine mess dear Laurel,please pass me the bottle of 'mist chloral'. 'Why certainly' said Stanley who seemed ever so manly in the valley when the dolls had gone home.

endless summer
~ *Black as coal. Moth or myth? It helps with the lights out. And travels by thought. Cleopatra enters Rome, Dropping names, Reciting pagan poetry, Knocking on forbidden doors. Nicole sees shadows Of her former self Staring back at her, Rock paper scissors, The color of three. Give and take after take On the burning soil Of a blurred crusade. Typewriters And other assorted weapons Form white lies and alibis, Calibrating the dusted variations Of a caught-on-camera obscura, It is a dark waltz, Some small hope still, Yet there's a comma after still.* ~

Stanley Kubrick
Why can't I disrespect her situation and utilize manipulation!!!?  ****  (Agitation)  How can I make her lacerate Leaving him to **********  While her and I gravitate (Aggravation)  Am I wrong for trying to captivate?  To cause a tragedy  So that I can place her in my cavity  Count on their delinquency  So that I can hit the jackpot like treasury  I must put a result to their destiny  When I see their pictures  My jaws quiver  She needs to be hither  I'm thinking I should be sly  And slither  Or should I be blatant and invite her to dinner? Right in the face of her mister  Excuse me ma'am  Have you ever seen otters afloat the waters?  When I see it in my studies  I always get cuddly I have a California king with only blankets to cover me  I have no buddy  I have friends  But no ones lovely  Can we hover the lake  Holding hands so that we won't  Drift away  You will be cute as the otters  I don't know why would I even bother  No groom; I'm all scruffy  I look ok alone But you gone make me look ugly  Or  Come here  Hug me  Is this your hubby?  That's why his shoulders is shrugging? And his face is mugging? He know if you escape his disgrace and come to my cubby  He'll be in the hole  Ain't that right man? (Directed to him) What's your name?  Stan?  Hey how are you doing Stanley  I'm digging your girl like my last name is Yelnats  And I'm trying not to disrespect  But it's testing  You have the great big book of everything  And a queen who can be on the cover of King because she's ****  But look at you  How'd you do it?  Here you go take my number down and dial whenever he's around so he can know where you're about to go  See you later  Which approach is better?  I like both  Should I be smooth or rude?  I have to make up my mind soon so that I can make my move

LLamaly Clean Scream (Limerick)
You are a slam dunk A fingertip catch And all that exciting junk You are a bone crushing tackle A pulled groin muscle So painful, I'm a blushing rascal You are the Stanley Cup A Superbowl ring That's what's up ~ This hurts for a poet to admit, but sometimes the sentiment is more important than the eloquence.
