Planes streak across the wide October sky– The sun is setting– Contrails stream behind them, glowing scars of the evening. 
 The highest ones, they exhale the day’s gold, pure and sharp like fields of August wheat, dusty and late-summer charred. Redder and lower ones hug the skyline, No cloud to catch them, Fall like meteorites, the slow burn of a dwarf star Memories never print so vividly, slow burn sees fast death, Reds, golds and what's between, A brain is all catch-and-release
 So afterwards what should be left of this? Not but an umbra, Impressionist beauty,
 A mere relief of its source? 
Beauty’s slow fade is not the tragedy, –rather the reverse– That we fade to beauty, To never hold it in full.

On an early sunset
the electricity runs through our veins and past the street signs we rumble by in the car you stole, we go fifty above the speed limit, the roof of the car is the noir sky above and the midnight rain pelts our upturned faces the dancing drops of water drip onto our smiling lips the sound of the sky collapsing echoes the flashes that streak the sky, the flickering light casts paved roads with a brief brightness (as if god were wearing light up sketchers) the lacy brallette that wears me gives me the bravery to stand up in the speeding car the velvet pants that ripple with the wind drink up the nighttime rain and the rare headlights race past us, heading into homes and hearts the mellow playlist that connects the aux cord to our ears blasts so loud, we can no longer hear our insecurity the mascara that once clung to my eyelashes now streams down my face. on a two way street, we drive down the middle unafraid in the face of direct dangers so unaware of the towering empty skyscrapers and instead highly exhilarated from the street signs we drive by too fast to read the blocky lettering the road signs glint, smiling as we wave and reach towards them the cigarettes you smoked are thrown through the open window, still smothering slightly. i can still taste the smoke on your lips and your hand tucks my hair behind my ear and as the wind objects and inhales unreal in the hazy a.m. car trip the tunnel rushes towards us, and we both hold our breaths, as if breathing would contaminate us. the lights that glint, cast a yellow-white glow and for once, i see you for who you are a boy too buzzed to feel a kid who only felt "sort of" a person who couldn't heal and a lover who could never give love

Light Pollution
I’m working to unwrap you slowly To form you up like a theory To create a habitat for you in my head My steps grow wider when I see you at the end Lying, lounging, an old lion Afternoon sun low and tired Rays and shadows streak the road like enveloping arms As I grow closer, you project even further away I just long to reach you Rest my head against your ***** and Sleep against your softness like a pile of feathers To rest at last. But at times I think I’ll never reach you, As I approach you reflect even further away I wonder that this road is endless, thinning into the distance The black wires radiate into the air above me Mutating my simple DNA into something else entirely A sole purpose survivor, a solider The cause is more desperate now They’re buzzing to each other above my head, talking about me Their scrutiny banging between my ears The dust becomes a new layer of me, with incredible thirst Just fields of dehydrated dandelions, just nothing They soak up the liquid from everything With their chemical and electrical waves The fields are screeching as they shrivel up, like dying children Now it’s all yellow, beige, and far away It’s all so tiny against the horizon, For all I know, your silhouette has become a statue by now Just this long stripe of dirt I treat like a passageway Just a ladder to a final place of rest I’m desperate for a stop in my trudging motion But I know I can’t lie down in this unworthy sand.

So young, He engraved the Law in your fledgling heart, Covering your mind with the depth of His wisdom. Why, no language exists that could translate its art! Hopeless to assess its perfect scale and freedom. The Law is His breast milk you sip fervently, Howl in agony; your stomach digest it not. Fathom submission, son of depravity, To merely **** is short; apply what has been taught. Sets of teeth sprouted in your gums like white pebbles, Overdose with confidence, sleep without a sword. Stars in the woods they seem, Alas! Wild, wild eyes of wolves! Fight the fine fight of faith, shine light on the world. A state of armed conflict, His Law against your Flaw, Just a streak of insanity in the family. Epitome of crossed swords, yet who will win in awe? Glitch in your body, vow in its supremacy."

The War of Laws
she is a very naughty girl she never follows policy to the letter she always does the wrong thing she needs some discipline she's proficient at defying the law she knows not how to get the message she doesn't listen intently enough she fills many charge sheets with her misconduct she is a girl with a streak of wickedness she has all the hallmarks of someone who is naughty I speak of Ursula in the above list of bad deeds and there is a hope that her bad deeds can be quickly remedied the hand of an authority figure will bring her back into line as she has too often strayed from that line whence appropriate corrections are implemented all her behavioral problems shall be circumvented then and only then a change will eventuate and she'll no longer be showing her bad traits really naughty girls such as Ursula can become more like a pleasant seaside peninsula watching her radical transformation shall be a sight to see so we'll keep our eyes focused on what Ursula shall soon be

Naughty Girl
Perfection Is constant. It’s everywhere And in everything. But our perception of it is not. For us, Perfection is fleeting. It comes in small doses Like a shot of tequila. It shocks on impact Then warms from within. Perfection lingers For as long as the good feeling stays. The problem? We know that shortly The liquor will wear off And the world will again be ***** Smelly Ugly Imperfect. But you… You stay. You stay past the buzz Past the next-morning feeling Past the hangover Past the fog. You’re still here. You’re still perfect. Because what people don’t get is that since nothing is perfect, Everything Is perfect. Perfection isn’t a shot of tequila But a long Tall Drink Of water. Perfection is a breath of fresh air, Or maybe even stagnant, Because perfection Is everywhere. Perfection is that tree over here That lake over there The crazy blue streak In that girl’s light brown hair. Perfection Is constant. It’s the waves crashing The river flowing The clock ticking away every moment we spend together, Glowing. Perfection Is your mother telling you it’s time to come home. My father telling me to hang up the phone. Your best friend taking a year long vacation My history suddenly obtaining clarification. Perfection is learning From stupid mistakes. Perfection is holding hands Through all the heartaches. Perfection is black rivers flowing down your gorgeous perfect face And perfection is knowing there’s nothing we can’t shake. Because perfection is there In every code-name fight And perfection is there Through every sleepless night. Perfection is present On the drives along winding lanes And perfection is present When we hide from cars in vain. Perfection is you And perfection is me Because through all our flaws We’re as perfect as perfect can be. Yet the world still doesn’t understand that Nothing is perfection So perfection Is everything.

a piece of art you are in your worn out sleeves   and heart shaped eyes laid out in a bed of cherries and a field of tulips to share with me your ocean view windows that streak the blue sea and your sheer white pearls that melt onto me like chocolate fondue warm and sweet; you are the taste, the mouthful of words that sit on my tongue get along with your truffle kisses and your red wine lips begging for the chateau to soak in the void and with a mind shining thought you traced my back with the stem of a flower that went on and on for the next half hour

Another win, another celebration. Fifteen world championships That’s inspiration. But are you ready? For the beast? Because rumors are swirling That he’s been released. Four men are the least of your worries, Because you’re about to be interrupted On this golden journey. You've defeated him once before, But he is no longer weak. As he is much stronger Since he defeated the deadman's streak. Now he’s coming for you, And your championship. It’s not so much another run, But for the pain he loves to inflict. So forget Mr. Money in the Bank, And the four other gladiators. Enjoy your title run now, Cena. Because Brock Lesnar is an annihilator

Another Celebration
Autumn’s brusque wind slices its way through the remnants of summer, painting maples in hues of brilliant oranges and reds. Long shadows of late September streak across the last blades of grass, as fall’s stark contrasts light the afternoon. The seasonal wind breathes cold with the smell of autumn in the air. Autumn’s brusque wind slices its way through the remnants of summer, while cottony clouds in a sea of cornflower blue, slowly slide out of view, chased down by v’s of geese as they race across the sun. Helicopter seeds line the sidewalks, green and gold, as others float on the wind, down to join with cones and acorns awaiting next year’s crop.   Autumn’s brusque wind slices its way through the remnants of summer. Crows, harbingers of the winter to come, make their sad calls. Squirrels pause to pack their cheeks with Fall’s fare and scurry to secret caches, their bulging cheeks filled with fallen nuts and acorns. Fall greets me with a kiss as summer bows to its chill, as Autumn’s brusque wind slices its way through the remnants of summer.

PAINT THE AIR WITH AUTUMN
The wind howls outside my bedroom window shaking me my heart; my soul it screams *while you sit there drinking sweet-smelling coffee a baby boy in Africa cries of hunger and aching ribs. while you are curled up under warm and soft blankets an old and lonely man wanders the darkest streets looking for warmth; a home while you hide there surrounded by light and family with an aura of ungratefulness you are lost in the rays of your technologies with a frown on your angelic face when a weeping woman shakes and prays for her gone children to reach Heaven happily but you dare forget God to a screen?* my house shakes from Wind's agonizing words and a streak of cold trickles into my haven along with the words "what am I doing?" somehow my stiff legs reach a window and the arms in front of me pull it open to reveal no sound at all where is the wind? did he leave just as he touched my heart; my soul making me waver? or does a gust not howl , speak, and isn't heard? no the wind was here for how else did the once-twinkling snowflakes suddenly freeze and lose all of their beauty? no one but Wind would take the innocence of such young and beautiful white specks just as they landed in this cold, dark world no one but Wind would flare you with reality enough to make you cry with obliviousness for this wind; my Wind he is the voice off all those who have faced life's stinging brutality; him instead of hiding under covers and whispering morbid lies that everything is okay

No One But Wind
I bought a cruiser bike instead of a mountain bike I’m a sextagenarian not a 30-something so every morning I pedal to the corner across from the Ritz-Carlton and the Montage next to the high-rent Pandemonde Café and count the Ferraris roaring by. I never had a Ferrari but I did buy a ’96 Mustang once and souped it up with a supercharger which was around the time my doctor took me off testosterone because my prostate specific antigen was way too high You have an inoperable prostate malignancy, he said after the biopsy You can’t take hormone replacement anymore It will **** you And as I lean on my bike depressed about missing the rush of another boost of synthetic male hormone I enjoy watching the Europen speedsters streak by so proud of themselves in cars that cost more than my house. I used to wish I was them used to feel like them when I was younger and charging hard but now I just utter prayers for each Lamborghini that goes by and I say I hope your car is faster than cancer.

CRUISER BIKE
Forth flashed the serpent streak of steel, Consummate crown of man's device; Down crashed upon an immobile And brainless barrier of ice. Courage! The grey gods shoot a laughing lip: - Let not faith founder with the ship! We reel before the blows of fate; Our stout souls stagger at the shock. Oh! there is Something ultimate Fixed faster than the living rock. Courage! Catastrophe beyond belief Harden our hearts to fear and grief! The gods upon the Titans shower Their high intolerable scorn; But no god knoweth in what hour A new Prometheus may be born. Courage! Man to his doom goes driving down; A crown of thorns is still a crown! No power of nature shall withstand At last the spirit of mankind: It is not built upon the sand; It is not wastrel to the wind. Courage! Disaster and destruction tend To taller triumph in the end.

I want you to paint me, and leave your mark. Use my skin as your canvas, Make me your work of art. I want you to draw on me, make me your personal sketch. Using implements as pencils, With each mark that you etch. I want you to colour me, in your signature shade. Rosey pink with crimson red, Then bid it not to fade. I want you to hurt me, as only you can do. Make me pay for your misfortunes, Tell me i deserve it too. I want you to punish me, show me you’re not weak. Dispose of your bad luck, Make my pain your winning streak. I don’t know how to love you, if you don’t hurt me too. I don’t know how to treat you. I will end up hurting you!

Here he comes the big bad monkey banana ****** wit the jungle as his flunky, Fully equipped with his hundred yard stare and a streak of silver in his hair, Animals of the jungle kneel to his feets, Cause he pocesses the strength and swag of 50 fleets, Not blood thirsty but his thirst varries from figs to berries, here he comes king of the Congo beating his chest like a bongo, Doughter don't laugh clear his path or feel his raph, Prime mate top of the food chain when it comes to terror they are one in the same When it comes to terror he'll make it rain and when terror is spoken bout remember the name GORILLA

GORILLA®
We watched the NASA rocket launch Two years ago in fall Over the grass, under the sky Behind the ball field's wall. I raised my hand above us there And traced a constellation And while you laughed, corrected me I scowled in consternation Then there- above- a streak of orange Ripping the dim horizon A trail of light, a touch of fire Grew brighter, higher, rising. Your forest eyes, your white-teeth smile Stretched wider, shown like mirrors I saw the rocket's upward path In eyes, so deep and clear. I could have watched your face for days Painted in the glow The fascination burning there I'd never come to know.

I dismiss the attention nobody pays, To the way I stay in games for days, They say "You're wasting your time away", But I'll play till I hit the grave, Cause, One more level, another point, another match, Double **** triple **** don't crash, Every day, getting better, no sweat, Zero deaths, forty kills, no regret, Top tier, s rank, winning streak, Don't lose, don't die, not weak, Can't miss, gotta win, don't quit, Flanking, execution, legit, We've got Contacts, reload, Spawn traps, implode, Bringing heavy artillery, This is the Gamer's Creed.

This is a cold perfect night The sun switch off the light Hear my guitar owns the night I stood on the beam of the light To give the role for the moon He reflects It through the dune There your heart such a stone See a rock keeps a stone to retain Then the rock was my silly brain Such a sculpture looks really fine Keeps the memory a part of mine In a hall of the magestic britain I'm inveterate to cross the line Carefully she watches how i speak In a magistic break doesn't bleak Tired world makes me the freak A plague of feelings makes me sick The steak of heart does not streak The plague is there wouldn't break So i keep my eyes away of her eyes No escape from the morning breeze A viscous fail on her warmer tears While i'm lost between the aisles No matter how much hard I do Can't Escape the reflections of you You Know my soul keeps crying too But i can't forgive The sins you do Destiny keeps our separated ways Deeds aren't hearts keeps the ties Author/ Aladdin Aures H.

I wish I was a Swan with grace and agility. A bright white streak of holy earth that cam from the nesting place of love. I wish I could die with no one to know that my death was important. I would be a Swan, a beauty, that a tear would be shed for. Not knowing who that Swan was, just knowing that it was lost.

Swan Lake
In the amber sunroom the regal canary perches, Surveying his sun soaked kingdom from a golden throne, Positioned just below the thick wooden rafters... They might as well have been treetops. The weathered oak armoire below, their immovable trunk; The oversized tank, teeming with exotic fish, his ocean. Through the translucent shades, the engorged sun turns orange, And settles on the domes of the distant dragon trees. Soon the silver haired woman, with "dust in the creases of her face," Will open the arched doorway, and into the sultry Moroccan air he will spring Majestic yellow wings propelling him above the treetops, Diving towards his vast ocean, circling between the dusty antiques, Reveling in his glorious freedom, yet always returning, For that is only the penultimate pleasure of every evening; She will always call him home with the suculent scent Of a luxurious dinner: mango, pomegranate, and papaya. A sharp, tumbling trill disrupts his peaceful musing, A flashing crimson streak leaves a momentary swatch, Emanating from the open window, invading his territory and ending atop the amoire. He refuses to look at her, intent on maintaining appearances. She comes and goes so freely, innocent of any thoughts for me. Feathers ruffling with discontent; jumping, leaping without direction. Seeking the highest perch, closest to being free; only to be confined By the bronze rods of social correctness, locked with the brass clasp of my own fear. His little lion's heart becomes a battering ram, Smashing against the inside of his toothpick ribcage. Rapid fire thoughts soon dissolve in an attempt to compose A song that is worthy of her. And so he waits, and watches her turn, Red wings outspread, escaping back into the evening sky. That blazing orange ball, finally sinking beneath its own weight, And the failing strength of the mighty dragon trees, Now merely blackened silhouettes of their former glory.

Inner Demon
Red birds flew into my window every day for years, especially during Spring and I asked my mother what they were called. “Cardinals,” she said, “but I think they’re called to you, I think— I think they are for you.” “Mom, I’ll give that one a name.” And I did. ——- I still see cardinals. The red shocks me, like a bloodstain in a new house. ——- When my father almost died, I was not worried and I did not ask many questions, only saw his body in the bed, a green-blue-yellow-black mess, a broken-bone nest, with sticky pads stuck to his skin, sending electricity to his nerves, lest they forget themselves. ——- He had the car turned into a cube, and it is somewhere now, the cage collapsed, the rust blooming inside of itself. The day my father chose to drive into a wall, going somewhere from 100 to 200 miles an hour (I never asked him), they dubbed him Rocketman. He flew. The car toppled and twisted and regurgitated what it could; it was an illness, and it could have killed us. My father is okay. ——- My father went to an air show months ago to see how those streak clouds are made by planes, and there was an accident and he saw peoples’ bodies lying and dying. He told my mother how he saw hands separate from their owners. He has not told me these things. ——- The cardinals have started to scare my father. He sees them too like bloodstains in a new house.
