"stresses" poems
~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ And so the Pu'erh and Jasmine Lily pearls are covered, my attention on the Phoenix Eye pearls, and I peel back the foil of a small handful. Ainhana had carefully remove the infuser and I pour in the pearls, listening as they gently hit the glass. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ As soon as Ainhana places the infuser back in the tea *** I turn the sand-dial and watch the cream sands run, and the pearls steep. I dare not let it run for the full five minutes - I find the perfect brew is made in three. The pearls now unfurl, the green leaves now floating. The clear water turns into the colour of the finest champagne. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ After three minutes, Ainhara pours me a cup, the aroma itself puts me more at ease. 'Do not waste it,' I tell her, holding the handle and saucer. 'Such fine pearls can be steeped twice, and I will make sure that I treasure every single cup.' 'Yes, My Lady,' She says with a curtsy. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ With my eyes closed, I blow away some steam and proceed to sip short and brief. It is a pleasure that is most welcome, indeed! Teeming with the fires of the Phoenix itself and caressing my tongue with floral sweetness. A delicious moan escapes me as I relax in my Summer Throne. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ My breathing is calmed as I look at the horizon with redolent eyes. The choirs sing as I drink such fine ambrosia! By a cup of Pearls, mine own eyes feel inspired, as I think of the lovely vision that is the Phoenix that is born of the lotus. Adieu, stresses of Court! Adieu, plagues of doubt and anger! Thy Queen is now jocund dove. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ 'Truly the finest Jasmine Pearls I've had in years!' I beam. 'Be sure to share this with my fellow Kings and Queens. Especially Queen Kim. In such a golden hour, we shall become Dream Children, to be lost in gardens of distant China.' 'Yes, My Queen.' Ainhara waves her hand, Semui and Ilazi now resume play. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ As I sip once again, the summer showers come. Lo! My gazebo glistens! Cleansed by the light, and life for my fields of my fair gardens. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ This blend cleanses the fire of my heart. This blend casts out sorrows for me to drink beauty. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ A  liquor the shade of champagne with the flames of life budding from a delicate flavour. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ The Phoenix merges with me, for I am the star of the morn that graces my Aurelinaea! ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ Such a blend of elegance in my tongue, a heavenly euphony. How I'm forever in awe of the power of my Jasmine Pearls. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~

Unemployed
My doctor told me to find a more healthy way to release my stress. She said that taking two hours to fall asleep every night was rather unhealthy. So, she told me to come home and to write about the things that relax me. Here we are. Every day a thousand things run through my mind. I can't breathe because school sits on my shoulders. My job crushes me slowly and my family physically causes me pain. But through so many foggy images I can see you through them all. I can reach out and almost touch you even when I am alone in my room and I cannot get up because the panic has literally crushed me. You are there in the simplest way. The few moments in my life when I think the only way out is to let the weight of the world crush me entirely I can feel you. The times that everything is in pieces and I am vulnerable and on the floor of my bedroom sobbing, you happen to walk in. You physically pick me up and you carry me to safety. A bath and you will bathe me and you will hold me and I will collapse and you will support me. You carry me to my bed and put on a vinyl and a candle and you clean my room because it being ***** stresses me out. You turn the lights off and the fans on and you consume me in your warmth. You kiss the demons away and you strip off the suffocating clothing on me. You make love to me and you wipe away terrible tears and you drench me in your love. The seconds become minutes and minutes are now hours and you spend what is almost days with me in my bed wrapping your body around mine. I cannot breathe still but now it is the best kind of breathlessness. The kind that happens when you see heaven in the eyes of a human and your life is paused while you try to remember how it all happened. I am crushed still but now with the weight of your love. But there is no pain. None. Only the most beautiful feeling my small body has ever felt. And in the moments of bedroom bliss I am free. I am free of those things that eat at me and those thoughts that stress me to tears. With you I am free.

Negativity is nothing more than lack of assurance and doubt This is what this lesson in helping you to work out It means take negativity and build into positivity Think on Negativity being only a set back in how one feels Usually, Negativity comes from Negativity given It surrounds people that project Negativity because of circumstances that happened in one’s life They are the one’s that always sees negativity, but never work in seeing life as positivity You must look beyond your depressed thoughts, and suggest positivity That negativity causes people to not succeed Negativity becomes like a forbidden flood needing to reseed A person is focusing on someone else’s feed But negativity has no place face to face In fact, it’s all a waste The energy that one stresses on negativity, could be utilized on constructive positivity Negativity is a barrier like a detour, but you are only staying in one place No movement in a hopeful pace If you say today, the response would be tomorrow But what one is saying, they are drowning on sorrow Negativity is mental, but one must move into motivational Motivational is the action that will start you on your way Negative people now should be your getaway This is your lesson for today Go and achieve in every way Live on every day

NEGATIVITY BECOMES A CHANGE IN THE LESSON
It is only in the state of galvanization, do I realize what it means to be impervious in youth. I have a father who stresses to me this: "Happiness is elusive." This is the kind of statement that must be swished around in the mouth, only to be spat back out. "Happiness is elusive." It is cause for concern, really. I will do my best in order to refuse to believe it, to believe him. Happiness is achieved through discovery. I think that I may have once had a sister (in my recollection she was very pretty). I was around her whenever it was deemed possible to do so -- it honestly wasn't too often that I could. In the very nooks and crannies of my childhood, if I could fall back unto the natural sublimity of it all; I do recall that I had a sister. Her features must have been youthful, from what I remember she was no more than inexplicable. If it were not so ambiguous, I might feel more inclined to speak with her again some day. The past is a scary thing. I feel pain in thinking of the lengths behind me, for what I have cultivated is sour. Recently a good friend accused me of this: "Being a recluse, spiteful, selfish person." Her notion both confused and throttled me, and only afterward did she speak in such a fervently aural tone: "That is o.k., you're only human after all." This is the very comment that sliced my being into a duality, leaving me to write poetry in order to attempt to find higher acceptance. Wisdom is a well, funny euphemism for delusion; And in my youth I am impervious.

Guilty pleasure But time I treasure Just you and I No kids' screaming cry No wife to bark orders As we seek new borders I stroke your limbs My ego brims You ride me away From stresses in my day Your frame is so light I ride you just right You transport my life In a different way than my wife I love the both of you To you both I'll be true But with you I'm physical My wife is mystical You create such sweat The drips make you soaking wet As I crank you on ascents And coast down long descents I get light headed Nothing you do is dreaded You carry me away So I just needed to say You are my mistress, my queen I don't want to be obscene But if loving you is wrong Why does my wife sometimes ride along

Mistress
the world is too bright. i am blinded by false smiles and laughs strained to reach that falsetto note. that preconceived notion that paradise of the land brings paradise of the mind. sand is still sand, and water is still water, less we quantify their quality by purity and color. sand is still sand and water is still water, and i am still me. the world is too bright, so i filter it into sepia tones gentler to the mind's eye and swim to where the water meets the clouds. i am drowning, but not from the ocean's relentless caresses, but from the world's relentless stresses: beauty that is measured and calculated, saturated with standards that burn like the sun and are as intangible as its rays, a paradise built on sand as quick as it is to judge.     so i swim to where the water meets the clouds. where the water is still water, and i am still me.

never give up
I’ve O’D’d on Glucosamine Sulphate, so much I’m mentally scarred. It’s escalated now I’m 70… I’ve mainlined on my Senior Railcard… I bow down to the Norse God Voltarol… He eases all my pains… and there’s Deep Heat, Germaloids, even Anusol for the other stresses and strains. The wondrous Winter Fuel Allowance! That’s what lights our lamp these dark days - ahh, those twilight hours! But after the logs, it’s not Leccy or Gas we crave? No! We buy ***** with ours… the Whisky, Gin, ***** Wine, a drop of Brandy too. It all helps us numb the cold whilst memories of happier times gone by - brighten up this ****** growing old. Supplements, sterols, statins, aspirin, beta blockers… All the heart meds - life’s a battle. In the 60s it was *** and Drugs and Rock ’n’ Roll… Now there’s less *** and a lot more rattle! ****** fails to make it now - “no more”, after the last time - she said! These days the only thing it does is stop me rolling out of bed! The bus pass lets me roam the world… from John O’Groats to Land’s End. But these days I travel locally Southwick, Lancing, Steyning; oh yeh and a cousin in far Gravesend. Further afield; abroad perhaps? Well no…Back then it was Newhaven for the Continent. But now I’m over 70, well, it’ll just be Worthing for the INCONTINENT! And… did I say? Not that I was ever in the habit of measuring it you understand - or straightening out the kinks I’m pretty sure that these days - and ’no’ it’s NOT just the cold… but, your once adequate **** - it shrinks! I'm sorry...Your ******* It ain't so long!

The amount of days I've been given have been kind, but each day rather cruel Trying to lift the thumb off my back of the looming stresses that rule It could be me again and this is not the end, if fact it probably is So before I unleash my problems, swear to mind your business I would be lying if I said I wanted this day to last a forever Because I found myself one forever short once we weren't together I've said my piece so many times the puzzle is almost complete So I've decided it's time to get off my knees and back onto my feet I've fallen so much I keep Flintstones band-aids close at hand My heart sewn to my sleeve for only you, which I've yet to understand You unscrewed the machine that was me and left the parts on the floor And I'm pretty sure I won't work just right anymore Fading is the dynasty of what we labeled our so-called "love" Like sticking my foot inside my sock at night to find it's a glove The discombobulation is so overwhelming, I think the ocean is jealous Could I start swimming now or is that being too over-zealous Life is hard and the people crammed in it tend to make it worse At times I tell myself it to cry, look to the sky, and curse But there's a tune in my mind that won't seem to shut up from that one song Telling me life is a ride, kid: grieve, learn, burn, and move on

Breakup Hangover
Pitter patter, pitter patter I awoke this morning  To the soft tapping of water Against the many panes Of my bedroom windows The sound is mesmerizing Pitter patter, pitter patter I watched and listened silently As rivulets of water chased Each other in a race to the end The rumbling of thunder is followed By sudden flashes of bright lights Pitter patter, pitter patter The skies are singing me a song The many sounds a unique symphony Endless streaks of water Float like clouds down the panes For moments at a time it is quiet, then Pitter patter, pitter patter The chasing of water continues Wrapped in my warm fuzzy blanket I sit on a benchseat by the window Watching the rain cleanse away All of the previous days' stresses Pitter patter, pitter patter

Pitter Patter
Reflections of my self, my being, my person, my soul, Forever replayed, reshown, redone, reinacted For the fact is The strength that settles in my palms is ignited by the ignorance of man. Oh man oh man how corrupt and vile does your mind be Calculating and engineering plans and strategies That will never leave your mind, Free To be or not to be A mockerey Of your confused biology, which hysterically Questions your existence. A gift so great, Yet bronzed with your persistence to query the beauty I have given you, Which is life! Behind every man is a woman who loves and sacrifices their own needs and Necessities for happiness, Clarity and justice. A dancing cherubim dancing elegantly like a warm summer ray from your childhood Window. Revitilises, Re-energises, Re-grows, The root of your soul As if the buds of may. Honey toned, chocolate foamed Milky light, All pleasures for your delight. Spread on to one body of immaculate perfection Formed from Aphrodite's tears. But the woman, The woman possesses such omnipotent spiritual clasp on nature That if she was to know, Overstand Or Even accept a miniscule quantity of this knowledge Then-man-would-be-woman. To trap and encase a man like a rodent Is to burn a ring of fire around his finger that leads life to his heart, Where it beats impatiently to the tune of the womans song. Skin soft, eyes lost Sight of who I am, Many different descriptions -although similar- still not the same, But am I really to blame? For the insecurities that you have belittled on me. For my hair is long, Then short, Then short, Then none. My skin dark, Then light, Then light, But not right A constant fight, A battle to aim for the right kind of existence but even still I Exist! And realise whatever you insist, still I Exist, Which is that gift that i hold in my being here, Looking there At my elegant stare,, Which i dare To offend the image, which you have sought to be womanly. No longer do I fear my image As it is a powerful icon of modern day life To withstand the turbulent stresses and grind of strife To help a man. To have. A happy. WIFE!

My body aches to hold you. To feel you. To stroke you. To look into your hell filled eyes. I feel your torment. I want to climb the mountain with you. To slide down the other side, maybe on a rug. So none get hurt. I need to tell you everything is on your side. For I shall comfort you as the dummy of the infant. I want to twiddle with your stresses and tease them from your taut and rigid mind. Everything will be alright. I care within my very being. That I'm sure you'll find. Sleep well. Goodnight. (C) Livvi

Caring.
Winter has steadily come, And I'm not sure I can convey How readily glum The frost singed air Feels as it sticks in my throat. I might as well, I might as well. A pig pulled a U-turn to warn me Of the ghetto youths Roaming the neighborhood, He said to put my phone away And be on guard, This area is dangerous, you know, How long have you lived here, How long have you been alive? My knuckles are stiff And my toes need stretching, And my mind keeps retching From the smell Of rotting leaves Mixed with deferred dreams. In this section of town Named for Hughes, I perceive the blues He was wont To sing, I breathe the fluid Inherent in the slums, And think on why The oil shines in The gutter, Why it's working in our blood, But it's not the same as love Why vagrants mutter And Hope dissolves Once the glitter of The campaign wears off, Left to sparkle in the dirt With the cast-off gloves And chunks of weave. Oppression in the guise Of freedom stresses My beliefs, And it's all I can do To take solace in the relief Of taking my seat on the Bus I've been waiting for That will drive me Towards a different lie And a less realistic Metaphor; Cleveland Park And its expensive stores.

I'm stressed inside and out. Annoying thoughts are swirling around. I can't even tell them to go away. I have to face them the next day. I have to get myself through it, Do all my homework the best I can. Yes this sounds stupid. It's only about homework. But you couldn't realise, How it stresses me inside. Along with all of this. You are there. In my head. On my mind when I breathe in fresh air. I know that I can't hide. I saw you today, I saw you last week. I talk to you too. But so far I feel blue. I guess I get jealous. I know that I do. This reality is nothing I can do. I want you so bad, But you don't feel the same. I know it, You've told me, And I can't make that change. None of this though, Will pry me away. Because you forever, In my heart you will stay.

Stress and you
Run rotten, for things have gotten out of hand. Turn coat ducking, torture got him singing and eating outta my hand. Getting scraped by the beater like youse a percussion instrument; maybe that’s why a group of people are called a band? For we all play our part to either be an influence or to be influenced. Yet we won’t know anything if you never venture into the forest and meet the temptress. When one experiences all six senses, when in present tenses, which then puts the body through stresses. That makes the mind flood with guesses that clouds up our lenses. But that’s just what war is like for one is always in the trenches. Whilst other’s sit on benches, but each choice brings rewards and consequences. Which bears questions on what your quest is? To run free or to be held back by white picket fences? For being hard pressed brings out either killers or medics. To choose to be real or synthetic. To become abstract or symmetric. However, things aren’t always so metric. So be wary of being a critique for just like branches of mathematics in arithmetic, We have many great qualities but when in a group we can become manipulated.

The Mobius Effect
sleepless nights, man these emotions ain't making me feel right. one day I could be feeling my best, but the next minute I could be a mess. Feeling ecstatic one minute and then fall into another rut the next, the cycle is infinite. When was the last memory of a sweet dream? These few days I've awakened only to be covered in sweat. Vivid dreams that torture me in my sleep and life that stresses me in my wake. My morale and soul feel weak, just how much more can I take? I just need a break, time to myself and more time to write. Maybe take a trip, run my fingers over every spine on a bookshelf and remind myself that I'll be alright.

Reminder
You are like a box of kleenex But you are more than a box of tissues You are there when I am sick Or whenever I cry over personal issues You are there to help me Clean up my messes You are there to comfort me With my life stresses I need to take you everywhere with me In pocket form, when I travel too far And traveling gets easier When there's one in the car You help me aid others When they are sick or need help You can never have too much kleenex Or a mother's love for yourself

Kleenex
Somewhere beyond the hast of commerce, where noises sing rather than shout. I know of a place under a canopy of emerald leaves, haloed in the sun. Creatures come to crawl and fly, soaking the bounty growing natural. Moments of stillness blow soft, carrying stresses away. It's a place owned by the trees, they bend to greet travelers weary of their cage. A place I long to stroll, where summer kisses all that lives and wildness sprouts within

A place I know
everything I do hurts you, my happiness stresses you out my energi smother yours, highlights your loss of it the same way the kind gestures show me your weariness I am well and you aren't   I would take it all in a nano second but I can’t I’ve tried but I can’t I play tired and I play sick I’ve tried to show that we’re the same but i know   it doesn’t make you less sick not a single bit all I can do is to grow and try to hold your hand even if you’re left behind and all this, all this until death will tear us apart. I can feel the normality sending a friend request to death I can feel time accepting it I start to recognize the blended soft colors and the feeling of life coming and going just hoping it isn’t in my hand. I am turning into someone else I say I’m happy because I know it matters We have one thing in common here we don’t complain because the nurses teach us that’s what kills us in the end I try to stand up outside all of it I try to feel like anything else matters but it doesn’t I’m scared my happiness somewhere else takes away the happiness we have until death tears us apart I take the buss back home I leave you behind I fake my way up to sit at the top so that I can see I have a photo of you on my phone to remember just in case you would go away It’s a new feeling a mix between everything and nothing I write it down because I can’t loose these seconds just in case you would go away It makes life feel so important It makes everything else feel stupid. It makes you stronger It makes everything heavy and all you can is hope, hope that it’s not until death tears us apart There’s a pregnant woman who wants my seat I let her have it I go all the way back I pass one with a burn mark on his face I wonder how many tears have happened the last ten minutes on this buss I wonder how they take it I don’t know how I take it I know the barr is lower here the scary part isn’t getting sick here it’s dying and in that case I know I’m the lucky one   Until death happens to me and I feel happiness knowing I’m the lucky one   I can be light flying over a bridge while everybody else takes the buss until your death will tear me apart.

I'm thankful for the times my heart has broken. I'm thankful for the stresses I've been through. I'm thankful for the times I thought I couldn't make it. I'm thankful for the times I've had to make do. I'm thankful for the friends I've lost. I'm thankful for the times I've cried. I'm thankful for the difficult moments. I'm thankful for all the times I've tried. All of these things made me who I am, Without them I wouldn't be this strong. I'm a fighter and I can face it all, I'm thankful for all that's ever gone wrong.

I'm Thankful
**** Sapiens we call ourselves, rulers of this Earth, Intelligent and civilized, but what is all this worth? We're working hard to conquer space—we landed on our Moon. We better solve our problems here, or soon we will face doom. New industries and factories constructed every day, And poisoning the air we breathe—is this the price to pay? Energy sources are shrinking—what happens when there’s none? Will Man of Earth ever learn to work with Nature as one? Some in this world are starving still, while others hoard their gold. Intelligent and civilized, at least, that's what we're told. We cure disease with drugs that may cause sickness as result— How many dearly paid for this ‘experimental cult’? We have become a plastic world where everything is fake, From the foods we eat to how we look—when will we awake?. We're civilized we tell ourselves, but fight our fellow man, If only we could solve world stresses through a better plan. With government corruption and morality sinking low… The price of progress we may say—is this the way to grow? We have upset Earth’s balanced ways, destroying Nature’s scheme— We’re intelligent and civilized—is it all a dream? Will we ever walk on Nature's path, take her by the hand, Restore the beauty meant to be on Earth, our dying land? **** Sapiens we call ourselves, rulers of this Earth, Intelligent and civilized, but what is all this worth?
