"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.) God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Mad Girl's Love Song
Everyone is scared of Death. I'm petrified of Death. But am I scared to die? No, no, I am not. I welcome the end with open arms. At night I shudder under my blanket dreaming of the paths that Death leaves in its wake. In the darkness of my room with thunderstorms inside my head, I fear the hole that is left after Death has struck. I wonder what, who, might come out of it: **Depression, Mourning, Sorrow, Confusion, Emptiness, and even more Death.** I miss the good old days when Life could be as easy as going to bed at night worrying about what Pokemon version to get, how to get the latest game console, what skill in basketball I need to improve in, when my parents will find out I had an infraction, how the test next day will go. But it's funny, Life, the more you grow in it the more you approach Death.

Death
***** ***** I **** ***** ***** get ****** when I **** ***** No ifs, ands, and/or buts! I **** ***** I **** ***** Nice girls are nice, but no good for nut-sucking. They'll need a serene night to green-light a butt-fucking, but that'll be easy with ****** ol' slut-fucking! Boo to the nice girls! Praise be to slut-fucking! I have a list. A list? Yes, a list of all the ***** I've missed. I've never ****** or ****** these ***** and thus my nuts are ******* ****** So when I **** the lucky **** my nut removes her from the list--- another dumb cumbucket struck from my nut-sucking, **** it, **** slut-fucking bucket list. ***** can be white, brown, pink, or almond. They can be skinny with big **** or skinny with small ones. ***** can be perky, preppy, or posh, with their brains and their clothes all shrunk from the wash. But other ***** are pretty and funny and smart. They can lift your thoughts from your **** to your heart. They can talk about science, music, or art. They can put you together or pull you apart. But don't trust these ***** Don't! Don't you dare! They'll force you to trust them and love them and care. And then they'll be gone and then you'll be aware of that hole in your heart that that dumb **** left there.

I F--k S--ts
for leather accrues The miracle of the streets The scents & smogs & pollens of existence Shiny blackness so totally naked she was Totally un-hung-up We looked around lights now on Top see our fellow travellers ~~~ I am troubled Immeasurably By your eyes I am struck By the feather of your soft Reply The sound of glass Speaks quick Disdain And conceals What your eyes fight To explain ~~~ She looked so sad in sleep Like a friendly hand just out of reach A candle stranded on a beach While the sun sinks low an H-bomb in reverse ~~~ Everything human is leaving her face Soon she will disappear into the calm vegetable morass Stay! My Wild Love! ~~~ I get my best ideas when the telephone rings & rings. It’s no fun To feel like a fool-when your baby’s gone. A new ax to my head: Possession. I create my own sword of Damascus. I’ve done nothing w/time. A little tot prancing the boards playing w/Revolution. When out there the World awaits & abounds w/heavy gangs of murderers & real madmen. Hanging from windows as if to say: I’m bold- do you love me? Just for tonight. A One Night Stand. A dog howls & whines at the glass sliding door (why can’t I be in there?) A cat yowls. A car engine revs & races against the grain- dry rasping carbon protest. I put the book down- & begin my own book. Love for the fat girl. When will SHE get here? ~~~ In the gloom In the shady living room where we lived & died & laughed & cried & the pride of our relationship took hold that summer What a trip To hold your hand & tell the cops you’re not 16 no runaway The wino left a little in the old blue desert bottle Cattle skulls the cliche of rats who skim the trees in search of fat Hip children invade the grounds & sleep in the wet grass ’til the dogs rush out I’m going South!

Burning fuel but not to leave, boys circled town, came back to the station where they began. Gas exhaust drifted like spirits above asphalt, dissolving in the night. Girls stayed in the lot, waiting for men old enough to buy liquor, their names claiming the land- long after other names lay buried in the ground. They kept to the faces, legs folded on hoods, lip gloss catching the station lights, bracelets chiming, hair flips rehearsed, laughing at trucks circling back. They wanted to be chosen, and I tried to want that too- tried to be a girl among girls, waiting for the moment some hand would tug me out of the circle. But my eyes kept straying- across the street, to the rise that was not just dirt but a chest under earth, ribs shifting, a hum curling into my throat. Something skeletal in its patience, as if Baykok himself were sharpening arrows in the dark, waiting for breath to break. Built long before us by Ojibwe, still honored as sacred ground. The others smoked, struck sparks, sequins spilling from careless wrists, never thinking how easily flame might travel down, through us, into what we couldn’t see. I could hear bones shifting, a buried drumbeat, the land’s own warning. Every glance of the mound pulled me back into silence. It told me what the others didn’t want to know- that all this circling, waiting, was only the lid of a grave.

Tumulus
During youth I was quite the collector of ocean cretin's annealed sandcastles Though the hosts inside could not be cheaper, their fleshy coats were worth all the hassles Content I was amassing worn seashells; monthly did this fine collection accrue Though furnished, barren felt those wooden shelves, as even pearls are lesser than a jewel Still, the sand was warm; the waves were soothful and regardless of what hollowness struck, the beach granted a chance to feel fruitful so long as one had either skill or luck Alone was I, but daresay not lonely, but I was not merry until married.

Don't try to hold my hand (because I'm a jellyfish) Love is like lightning, Beautiful from a distance, But just wait till you're struck by it Don't try to hold my hand (because I'm a jellyfish)

Feelings on Electricity
Dear insecure, emotional, overthinking young man you've come a long way from way back then you've lost a lot - but had to realize "who hasn't?" your strong will seemed to be mistaken a lot from your passion you've missed out on a lot of love by second guessing & never unmasking why weren't you truly ever satisfied... nah, that's the question that I'm asking... your abandonment issues pushed away the potential of something ever lasting constantly fighting the man in the mirror hopefully with your new life - you see things clearer no one ever knew, with you...who they were gonna get you've missed out on a lot of good times wanting to talk instead of just letting it go and enjoying the time you had left. Your favorite pills were self pity, self indulgence, ignorance and regret you never stopped to listen - stopped talking - hopefully now you allow others words to be said no woman stood a chance... you purposely acted a certain way to avoid the possibility of true love discretely pushing them away until they saw nothing and had enough. don't get me started on your lack of living missed out on a lot of trips, chances and opportunities I hope now you've filled that void that is missing you swore happiness was wealth... power...a line of respect little did you know it was the little things; the calm, the moments the people and things in life worth it and willing to invest. you gave up on a few dreams... figured why fight? countless times your mind would just run... keep you up all night you were so afraid of success... honestly, I never knew why you never freed that little boy trapped - stuck in his father's grasp he was begging for freedom, you left him struck inside everyday was another day you thought was your time. **I hope you live now I hope you see the beauty life truly is I hope you found love I hope you found this** I needed to write this letter to you - so you can see how far you have come you can see that change is real you can see all that you have become Bland Douglas Simpkins, that's the man you should be proud to be no matter what challenges you were faced with those obstacles were needed, needed to make it to this me thank those who've came into your life - not all were meant to last some forced you left - others showed you right no matter what, some were needed in your past. So... Dear future self, please understand - I'm sorry. For all that I put you through the truth remains - that without me - just know... there would be no you.

A strange weather pattern Appears up in the sky, And a strange sludge splatters Into onlooking eyes. Menstrual matter falls From the great godless clouds, The people struck with awe As they run, scream alloud. A trickle turned downpour Of radiated blood, Now drowning in a storm That yields a *** flood. Dropping violently in pints, gallons, and leagues We become fossils under a ************ sea.

************ Inundation
#*Nightbird perches high beneath the shooting stars that dapple the bouquet     of sleepless peace ... his soft downy breast           has lent breath to the sweet April afterglow      heaving with song The mystical feathered troubadour's      swooning echo A melodic twilight serenade conjures a moonstruck metamorphosis, sprouting magical wings of flight;* rousing *a lonely heart's esprit      to fly away unfettered      in constellations of song How dare imaginings spilled from the big dipper enchant such an enrapturing magic spell? It's so far to fall from swinging on a star! It's so far beyond nearing crescent moon      when you wish upon a star   Thereupon struck by a bewitching bolt of starlight; Dropping asudden as a shooting-star!     Rolling like trailing thunder;         tucked and tumbling ―              somersaulting,            celestial rumbling blossoming with an unearthly joy A nascent winged heart splayed bare, soars upon cresting wind waves;     dreaming of that shapeless             w h o  o  o  o  s h ―          gathering beneath         ~ uplifting wings ~   Suddenly ― gliding freely,        winging gracefully   upon wafting star drift glitter; lilting lightly upon the arising cadence of nightingale's melodious fluted song Nightingale sings sweet April perfume beneath the star shed lamplight twinkle ... and it makes no difference if it's only a dream     if my heart had wings* imagined by:   Jesse Stillwater

Chewie hasn’t touched his food I hope he’ll be o.k.. It hasn’t been the same for him Since Leia passed away. He’s a melancholy Wookie as anyone can see. He mopes around the ship all day And he’s molting terribly Twas bad enough when Obi-wan was struck down by Darth Vader. But it’s no surprise when an old man dies That’s expected, now or later. Our Princess was a force you see Bringing gales of laughter which is why we want her here and not in the hereafter. He’s a melancholy Wookie as anyone can see. He mopes around the ship all day And he’s molting terribly. I hope one day we’ll meet again In Mos Eisley’s Cantina That gold bikini may not fit But we’d still be glad to see her.

Melancholy Wookie
(For Eric Killmonger) A little boy stared in the clouds Forgotten tales screaming loud His word small and nothing wrong It all shattered after too long Stories of cities that touched the sky Clans of people untouched by time Hope soon filled his boyish dreams But not everything was as it seemed One night he came home and saw His father dead, struck down by claw Weeping over his fathers head He begged him to stay, not leave him instead Shattered dreams and shattered hopes He held the myth achingly close Alone, no one there to guide He locked his humanity deep inside Battling for a way to free them all Seeking power and in deaths thrall The world had taken everything away And all in one single day So he would take everything away from it His soul a star no longer lit Now he lay there quietly dying His enemy close, no longer fighting The world it seemed would take him too His glittering eyes full of rue There was nothing left for him here Breathing ragged and full of fear Finally he took his very last breath And slipped away as his life left And as the sun left the sky The night descended with a sigh The little boy was dead and gone His life a sad and weary song. -Roguesong- -Esther L. Krenzin-

Now this particular girl During a ceremonious april walk With her latest suitor Found herself, of a sudden, intolerably struck By the birds' irregular babel And the leaves' litter. By this tumult afflicted, she Observed her lover's gestures unbalance the air, His gait stray uneven Through a rank wilderness of fern and flower; She judged petals in disarray, The whole season, sloven. How she longed for winter then! -- Scrupulously austere in its order Of white and black Ice and rock; each sentiment within border, And heart's frosty discipline Exact as a snowflake. But here -- a burgeoning Unruly enough to pitch her five queenly wits Into ****** motley -- A treason not to be borne; let idiots Reel giddy in bedlam spring: She withdrew neatly. And round her house she set Such a barricade of barb and check Against mutinous weather As no mere insurgent man could hope to break With curse, fist, threat Or love, either.

There was not a day that would pass with my usual routine. Whether it would be going to the grocery, visiting my family, or maybe hanging out with my friends. It seemed like everyday was pristine. Life was quite a bore though, But little did I know, That you can actually find adventure in everything that you do. When that realisation struck me, I felt my smile and aura glow. What I am trying to say is that adventure is out there, With everything that you do, even the little things. As long as you have a mind that is set to explore the infinity and beyond, Then you will definitely find a hidden treasure in everything.

Adventure
I remember the rains that day, A shower of hate that won’t go away, The day seven of the year ninety four, When pain suddenly opened the door, And nothing was ever going to be the same anymore, With machetes and guns they marched, Aiming for our limbs to detach, Sworn they did that no INYENZI would escape their grasp, They swore that all would experience their wrath, Genocide it was called but the truth not told, The rains struck hard smell of rotting flesh, Cries from a distance heard but ignored, No one would even dare talk or whisper, **** the cockroaches was the message from the speaker, It was the rainy season the beginning of a massacre, Women and children are alienated from their land, Refugees in camps away from their land, The African holocaust had began in Rwanda, It took a while for the world to ponder, The ones who had the power to stop it kept quiet, They gave neither reason nor excuse for their silence, They waited until we all lost our patience, It was the rains in Rwanda the day of mourning, It was the season to prepare for farming, But I can bet the world saw it coming, But none gave a **** from the beginning, And so began the killing, Brothers and sisters turned enemy, Neighbors turned into strangers, **** ****** mutilation humiliation torture, Tribal hatred fueled by the west, When will Africa come to rest? And understand that we are one race, One love one place one earth, Let’s have love and peace, BY ISSAI

THE RAINS IN RWANDA
She's an innocent little girl Unknown about the people in this world Who think it's a curse that she is born. It's nothing to do with her but with her gender. She has to suffer because she's her. She grows up while listening to those painful words By the voices of herds. Those words which struck her like a bullet inside her heart Now it's broken so much, it can't be mended even if we try hard. This is not what she wants But she's dumbfound like a mime, Stuck inside, bounded by walls Walking inside the empty halls. She screams but no one hears She wails but no one cares. There's no one here who feels her pain anymore As people ignore. It's a curse that she is born even if she did nothing bad at all. She has nothing else to do But to dream about another universe, Where people are one, Where there's no boy or girl That's what she thinks is a world. But that's not true, It's sad to say: She is a curse in every way. Why would they hurt such beauty and charm When they do so, She is so calm. She has wings Which are broken now And it stings If she tries to fly. But still try, You are not alone.

suicide note
Are you struck with her figure and face? How lucky you happened to meet With none of the gossiping race, Who dwell in this horrible street! They of slanderous hints never tire; I love to approve and commend, And the lady you so much admire, Is my very particular friend! How charming she looks — her dark curls Really float with a natural air; And the beads might be taken for pearls, That arc twined in that beautiful hair: Then what tints her fair features o'erspread - That she uses white paint some pretend; But, believe me, she only wears red She's my very particular friend! Then her voice, how divine it appears While carolling: "Rise gentle moon;" Lord Crotchet lastnight stopped his ears, And declared that she sung out of tune; For my part, I think that her lay Might to Malibran's sweetness pretend; But people won't mind what I say — I'm her very particular friend! Then her writings — her exquisite rhyme To posterity surely must reach; (I wonder she finds so much time With four little sisters to teach!) A critic in Blackwood, indeed. Abused the last poem she penned; The article made my heart bleed — She's my very particular friend! Her brother dispatched with a sword, His friend in a duel, last June; And her cousin eloped from her lord, With a handsome and whiskered dragoon: Her father with duns is beset, Yet continues to dash and to spend — She's too good for so worthless a set — She's my very particular friend! All her chance of a portion is lost, And I fear she'll be single for life; Wise people will count up the cost Of a gay and extravagant wife: But tis odious to marry for pelf, (Though the times are not likely to mend,) She's a fortune besides in herself — She's my very particular friend! That she's somewhat sarcastic and pert, It were useless and vain to deny; She's a little too much of a flirt, And a slattern when no one is by: From her servants she constantly parts, Before they have reached the year's end; But her heart is the kindest of hearts — She's my very particular friend! Oh! never have pencil or pen, A creature more exquisite traced; That her style does not take with the men, Proves a sad want of judgment and taste; And if to the sketch I give now, Some flattering touches I lend; Do for partial affection allow — She's my very particular friend!

Anom o ly Non-named, never imagined much less realized The left hand can't know what the right is doing, it's a brain matter, grey area, may be a way to imagine your unique. task, yours, not doable from here We can do things as us that we never imagine alone. Is there a need to negate, wait, think, must one do any act? Now, I see, emulating Socrates is thought easier than emulating Jesus. Christ, you know that ain't easy, eh? Death is the friend of being. Things change from time to time but, you know knowledge grows in two directions, the dark part is not evil. evil is as evil does. The roots that ever live in the earth, those roots are required, requirements. Left brain uses the right hand. Don't tell the left-hand that nearly all it's skill in serving and being used right, is used up by the other side. Right or wrong, is not a chiral question,  nor is good or bad. ******** Phillips's head screws with a butter knife is wrong. It can be done right, but not if you turn it the wrong way. Drawing on the right side of my brain has always symbolized a crossroads experience, in my mind. I mean I draw, realistically, with my right hand, left brain. Maybe, brains are no easier to analyze than time in an immaterial medium of messaging. I am certain life wins. Meaning everything you think life means. Do you think evil is required as an activity for life to actively be? I doubt that. Death fixes everything. Fret not. Wait. First make room, what was the Bronte word? Penetrium, no, cut n paste [A]t once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason - Coleridge, for instance, would let go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the Penetralium of mystery, from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge. From <https://www.etymonline.com/columns/post/cloud-of-uknowing> Happiness demands an agreement Joy is in process, I agree, I am happy, haps happen and I notice Note: Bronte was one to tweak fine puns with the word Penetralia: 1. The innermost parts of a building, especially the sanctuary of a temple. 2. The most private or secret parts; recesses: the penetralia of the soul. See Chapter one, Wuthering Heights. ----- From bronteblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/emilys-penetralium_03.html

Things change from time to time but, you know knowledge grows in two directions, the dark part is not evil. evil is as evil does. The roots that ever live in the earth, those roots are required, requirements. Left brain uses the right hand. Don't tell the left-hand that nearly all it's skill in serving and being used right, is used up by the other side. Right or wrong, is not a chiral question,  nor is good or bad. ******** Phillips's head screws with a butter knife is wrong. It can be done right, but not if you turn it the wrong way. Drawing on the right side of my brain has always symbolized a crossroads experience, in my mind. I mean I draw, realistically, with my right hand, left brain. Maybe, brains are no easier to analyze than time in an immaterial medium of messaging. I am certain life wins. Meaning everything you think life means. Do you think evil is required as an activity for life to actively be? I doubt that. Death fixes everything. Fret not. Wait. First make room, what was the Bronte word? Penetrium, no, cut n paste [A]t once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason - Coleridge, for instance, would let go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the Penetralium of mystery, from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge. From <https://www.etymonline.com/columns/post/cloud-of-uknowing> Happiness demands an agreement Joy is in process, I agree, I am happy, haps happen and I notice Note: Bronte was one to tweak fine puns with the word Penetralia: 1. The innermost parts of a building, especially the sanctuary of a temple. 2. The most private or secret parts; recesses: the penetralia of the soul. See Chapter one, Wuthering Heights. ----- From bronteblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/emilys-penetralium_03.html

Loyalty
Off to Heaven tonight Drifting in a beam of light Rising up to the clouds on high Upon golden wings I fly I was dead from the very start With panic did my eyes dart I watched with heavenly agony As your arrow pierced my heart Melting away, my mind does flow Taking with it your hand to hold You didn't even give the onlookers a show When love struck me down in one swift blow

Struck
When I saw her The first woman with the first wide eyes Bright and light and dark and deep With life and mystery My heart beat like the first hand struck the first drum And the first song was sung In dark caves of ten times ten thousand years ago When I first breathed that first scent My sight stopped My mind stopped My mind was my body and my hands and my gut And my legs extending to the ground and the earth and time And it slowed down like an ice age beginning Then it melted into warm fire Where it burned The first touch of the first woman Was electrical chemical radioactive bliss Every piece of matter in me wanted to move and dance and shake and fly apart The spark from the start of her heart beat Crossed through the fibers and Traveled down the pathways of her body Down the chemical electric synapses Through her arm and jumped across to my hand And traveled up and started a new beat It was a faster, and stronger beat And it beat And it beat Like the first dance, Shook with the slap and smack of ground and hands and feet Oh the first woman was all women And then there were other women And they were people Flesh and blood And minds and thoughts And feelings that I could not feel Good and bad and indifferent With hangups and problems Blemishes and baggage I met women coming Women going Here and there Now and then For coffee, for beer, One evening or ten I met scientists, nurses bartenders and baristas. Living lives I didn't mind Giving time when it was mine Asking for things I couldn't find Then I saw You All of you In time and space and speed I caught the scent of you Your fragrance and perfume And the primal musk of you That fatal lusts allure I felt you The gravity of your body from across the room Your electro-magnetic force pulling Pressure of the displaced particles pushing As you walked so slowly towards me And time stopped Light and sound and movement were captured Captive to your hypnotic sway Prisoner to your power over my perception You moved through the still air And it swept aside like a curtain as you passed The world was quiet And then it pounded   The pressure of it filled the air and everything around it As you moved closer, Like ride of the Valkyries Rising and crashing in waves It rose as you moved towards me You carried it in your wake And then it was a crescendo A vast overpowering transcendent orchestral cacophony Of immense intense sound and light and energy erupting Cymbals crashed and horns blew and strings snapped under the pressure of the vibrations Brilliant fireworks exploded in the black sky of your brown eyes As you stopped a few feet from me And time was stopped You were the first woman You were all women You are The only woman

*beneath the star-struck, eternal vast,     painted black, blue-grey black - voices blister of the past. haven't felt this way in quite some time.     the restless nights. this cold, empty bed. unrhythmic breaths flood my chest     as I watch my mother die                          for the second time. it's moments like these you never forget.     find yourself waking in a cold, hot sweat. mind tracing every syllable, every breath;     remembering every word you should have said. with eyes like a beating heart;    smells of daisy wanderlust. soul-fire like passion's spark;    worn-out smiles like last night's luck.

on my mind
“Strange place as if, a university campus. Last week of August, bit chilly though dark afternoon. Some random corridor seats. Surrounded by her loud chirps wrapped with unbidden happiness... and me still in some sort of shock... what am I doing here? Conversation took toll about random university matters, she felt hungry and suggested to have lunch together. So we came out and took a bus towards town to allow ourselves luxury of 'A La Carte'. As we get off the bus cold wind struck us, “Lady shivered and grabbed my wrist with her right hand and same arm with her left, letting herself rest her right cheek on the edge of my left shoulder. My whole existence felt her magnetic presence”. I uttered if she’s feeling cold she mumbled, I took it as a yes so wrapped my blue jacket around her. She responded to the gratitude with a smile and I allowed her grip on my arm to become more firm... so both of us kept on walking towards an undefined destination... and then my 7:00 am alarm interrupted the most beautiful dream i ever had since HER...”
