"stunned" poems
I wanted to reach out to the sky not to touch any star just to whisper to the Moon 'How beautiful are you'! I was still, stunned on the ground   wandering down the sunrise hill. In the midst of the morning breeze   I heard of a whispering ‘The eyes in the sky gaze to the ground’. So close to me that drew as if that whispered to me ‘tell me about you’!

Eyes in the Sky Gaze to the Ground
Sitting on the corner while Starring At the glances of your smile all over Cover the room by your face unveiling Up to this moment, I want to be near, (you were a mile from here) Thinking It was cloudy on my mind, But when you are here by my side You are making my day as bright Showing the beauty behind, (They have nothing to hide, nothing to hide.) How deep is the ocean trenches? How far is the stars throughout the abyss? How much warm is your embraces? How much cold Is your lips to kiss? l don’t much care about counting all of these, As long as you are with me, you are my bliss (I could tell,) heaven’s gate is not the place of happiest And angels are not those prettiest, Indeed, God is always be the wisest, For sending me a fallen angel, I’ve caught the brightest, the brightest Lately, You stole what between these lungs You open my chest, You let it pour, my bleeding heart I cant deny, how i feel, you are my crush I have been stunned on Your eye lashes, (glances, perfume scents, and blushes) How deep is the ocean trenches? How far is the stars throughout the abyss? How much warm is your embraces? How much cold Is your lips to kiss? Do I have to care about all of that anymore, As long as you are with me, what should I have to ask for? Emerald, jade, diamond, gold and silver, I guess nothing is forever, unless me and you In this world of deception, anyone can be a liar Just remember, Nothing is to fear, I am always here. .......I am always here.

Sonnet for YOU
Leaves, sticks, and seeds make up this six foot stalk. Oh, how she blooms before the flashing lights! Leaving men and women with a stunned gawk. Oh, you cause the seeds of your kind at night, to dream of heights they won't reach; how sadly try the delusional. But in all kin, is imprinted least a scar on their psyches. Sacrificial offer in porcelain is ritually performed by some daily. If not for fame, glory, or money, then to mirror fashion people's ideal beauty. A cyclic mental disease that won't end. Shhh.. Here she comes! The first, but not the least. An appetizer for the famine feast!

Sonnet to The Stalk and Seeds
Disappointment is thrown strongly at my direction. Blame gathers in large quantities like a pest infestation. "It's your fault" and words like "You always make mistakes" evoke anger. Anger which I want to take out on myself and take out on others. I can excel in my work of choice, I know I'm more than average. The bad gets pointed out more and little praise is given for the good. Stunned by unmoving words. I'm like a prisoner sentenced to jail, released and expected to do worse. Destruction emerges from my enraged emotions, i wish your words could offer a solution. I want to be an alchemist and turn things into gold. It's ironic how I am a creator of words but cant create better words in my critics. Conversations lead to arguments because i want to be heard. I'm sick of revolving doors, sick of being slammed by your atrocious comments. "You have no common sense" you say to me, maybe I just prefer to be in a daydream, my mind drifting away because life is too dull. Realize that what you say has an effect and that effect can drive somebody or stop them in motion.

Misunderstood 6/21/2014
The sunset imbues its last glance as molten lavas cool into exotic crimson painting the colour of romance on the seabed. What glance did you cast? Stunned moon turns up a notch, keeps looking over the ocean, yet to drink a drop! Ah, holy smoke, what did you drop?

Sunset in the Sea
Every blue patch on the sky keeps an eye, cherishing clouds dancing, hovering over. The songs of deep blue ride the heady air, only to be stunned, all of a sudden, at the first sight— sung down on a perfectly placed mural. The Queen of Sheba tiptoes this way; King Solomon leans to the ground, only to find seas of silent blooms musing, dipping in sun-kissed dews— on gently tilted roses that will not fall, not from this picture-perfect, navel-high! Velvety, the rose rises from the ground; the forever-green Earth hangs low, in the dew on the rose that will not fall. Blossoming, eyeing an acute high, evermore hopeful to scale upward, toward the faraway, awaiting heaven's pool. There, the spotlight does not move— neither north nor south, nor up nor down— until Queen Fathima, the Queen of Heaven, steps on the "as above, so below" slope. There, the newly resurrected Earth will be primed, its minted atoms vibrating beyond bounds, rising, for the first time, atop the navel-high. Perfectly wrapped, the atom's circle finally turns on— the stepping stone that holds no pi-decimal hole. Pure Scientia hangs on the door of Paradise, awaiting the numerically perfect Queen Fathima to step. God willing, she will work in beauty: the most sought-after, perfect works of art— the lost masterpiece, not in translation, but hidden within the pi-decimal abyss of Earth's depth. Lo, the gleaning Sleeping Beauty peeps, trailing the role model Queen. Fathima—the first woman to enter Paradise— walks the walk: perfect, straight, numerically precise. As if she always knew, back from the Earth, of the murals ahead, hanging on Paradise’s wall, mathematically exact! Mirrors of imagination, new wonders on Heaven’s way, etched in the murals at the golden section, navel-high. She zooms past the ever-spinning atom’s perfect span, cemented at the entrance of Paradise. Yet leaves no footprint— for she never did, even on the sublunary Earth. A new wonder blooms in the classic old eyes: oh, Pi, still irrational, still pondering, at the measured, eternal navel-high!

Earth to Heaven: Navel High
Every blue patch on the sky keeps an eye, cherishing clouds dancing, hovering over.

When I told my phsysical therapist that I'm a lesbian, her answer was a question I did not ever expect; "So... Are you a lesbian because you are disabled and you cannot get a boyfriend?" I was speechless, looking at the wall, stunned. Holy **** she did not just stereotype every single disabled homosexual to have ever existed. I stammered no, and I tried to explain that I have had boyfriends before, it just wasn't my thing. Looking back now I realise that, I should not have explained anything because I don't ever need to explain anything about the people I love. I have had a thing for girls, since I was three, and when I was three years old I did not notice my disability, the way it's being noticed today. And the absolute most heartbreaking thing about both my sexuality and my disability is, that I still do not notice it as much as everybody else seems to do. I can be the best girlfriend ever, no matter what my sexuality is, no matter how my body looks. And don't get me wrong; I like guys too. I think guys are wonderful. If God had created Eve and Ava, who would have brought me into this World? I can get a boyfriend if I want one, maybe someday I find the most amazing guy ever, and I will not let my sexuality stand in my way. But for now, I am a disabled homosexual, who decided to tell you about it. And dear physical therapist: I have never judged you, not even when you told me you fell for a fat guy, and now you're married. So don't ask me if I'm only a lesbian, due to the fact that I have a disability, because guess what? I'll have my disability no matter if, the person I'm dating, has a ***** or a ****** (e.k.j.)

Have you ever stumbled upon someone life-shatteringly special? You lose your breath and can't think straight. But somehow they've stuck around. Feeling like a stunned vegetable to your innocent charisma. Like divine intervention we met in the most unlikely of ways. We hit it off and spent hours together, confined and stressed. How did we get along so well? How did we manage to learn more together than alone? How did we manage to find each other in this big world? I'll always wonder if there is more to this story. Answers to my plaguing questions that rule my emotional state. I don't know how to describe what it is I feel in a rational way. It doesn't serve rationale. Writing it all down or saying it only compounds how crazy I must sound. But I'm not a loony bin. On the contrary, you are just infinitely more special than you realise! But I'll not skip a note nor bump a chord. Because I see you so finely in all your elegance. A beauty which radiates in an innocent manifestation. I can't tell if everyone else can see it also. They must?! I must have no chance here. I know I should cut my losses and move on. Right..? Hope to find this feeling once more. But something from beyond the blackened ether of midnight skies and space dust tells me to keep trying.

The memory of you emerges from the night around me. The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea. Deserted like the dwarves at dawn. It is the hour of departure, oh deserted one! Cold flower heads are raining over my heart. Oh pit of debris, fierce cave of the shipwrecked. In you the wars and the flights accumulated. From you the wings of the song birds rose. You swallowed everything, like distance. Like the sea, like time. In you everything sank! It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss. The hour of the spell that blazed like a lighthouse. Pilot's dread, fury of blind driver, turbulent drunkenness of love, in you everything sank! In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded. Lost discoverer, in you everything sank! You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire, sadness stunned you, in you everything sank! I made the wall of shadow draw back, beyond desire and act, I walked on. Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost, I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you. Like a jar you housed infinite tenderness. and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar. There was the black solitude of the islands, and there, woman of love, your arms took me in. There was thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and ruins, and you were the miracle. Ah woman, I do not know how you could contain me in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms! How terrible and brief my desire was to you! How difficult and drunken, how tensed and avid. Cemetery of kisses, there is still fire in your tombs, still the fruited boughs burn, pecked at by birds. Oh the bitten mouth, oh the kissed limbs, oh the hungering teeth, oh the entwined bodies. Oh the mad coupling of hope and force in which we merged and despaired. And the tenderness, light as water and as flour. And the word scarcely begun on the lips. This was my destiny and in it was my voyage of my longing, and in it my longing fell, in you everything sank! Oh pit of debris, everything fell into you, what sorrow did you not express, in what sorrow are you not drowned! From billow to billow you still called and sang. Standing like a sailor in the prow of a vessel. You still flowered in songs, you still brike the currents. Oh pit of debris, open and bitter well. Pale blind diver, luckless slinger, lost discoverer, in you everything sank! It is the hour of departure, the hard cold hour which the night fastens to all the timetables. The rustling belt of the sea girdles the shore. Cold stars heave up, black birds migrate. Deserted like the wharves at dawn. Only tremulous shadow twists in my hands. Oh farther than everything. Oh farther than everything. It is the hour of departure. Oh abandoned one!

You weren’t worth the Hundred dollars it cost to Keep you in my car.  Princess got poached by the League of Losers with Pedestrian Ideals. I’d spit venom in your direction, if  Poison meant anything to you. But Akin to most things, so sub-human, You miss the world moving around your Ever pulsating veins, and repel these Toxins with a slip of the tongue. Around you I could line Bodies of those you’d loved and left. Each clasping hands with one another, Privy to a specific type of pain, only you can Deal out. And In the center of the circle you’d Stare, stunned by your state of Affairs, and flings. Collectively concerned For the safety of your Rotting consciousness. One by one, I could set these men On fire, and hand you a place  Where your head could be danced off. Drunken and diving heart-first into The burning lake of a  Surfable crowd. Since that’s All we are, serfs. I hope the fire gets too close to your Gorgeous face. I hope the Love you receive is no more likable Than a few more licks from the flames. The scars couldn’t sideline you. No one can stop ****

Hey Human! I am your Sibling. Queen bee wings are Ripped, bee niblings are Smoked For Your Honey Sweet. Hey human! Listen your Sibling’s Buzz. Tiger lost bones for Medicine, Fox lost fur for Fashion, Sharks lost fins for Soup. Hey human! Do Not Butcher Siblings. Simba’s life is not your Trophy, Jumbo’s tusks are not Decors, Helmets of Hornbills are not jewels. Hey human! Do Not Reap Siblings. Emperors of ice continent lost land, Economics is making Amazon less, Logging makes Orangutans homeless. Hey human! Do Not Invade Siblings. Warm oceans bleach corals, Water depleted in cities, We ingest plastic regularly. Hey human! Do Not Desert the Earth. Overfishing is holocaust of aquatic life, Livestock levitates toxic emissions. Hey human! Do Not Prey on Siblings. Lichens stunned by pollution, Symbionts are disintegrating, Biodiversity is declining. Hey human! Be Together with Siblings. Hey Human! We are Offsprings of Mother Nature. Monera, Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista all have common roots. We are branches of the one Phylogenetic Tree rooting Common Ancestry unto LUCA. Hey Human! We are Siblings. Hey Human! Recall your Siblings. Hey Human! Revive your Siblings.

The Eid is bustling with joy come let’s give it a try f     l     y      away! To the deathless groovy paradise floating high on the elixir flow: The triumphant joyous wave streamed up from the secret bottom line!   Up above the lapis lazuli sky. A pair of butterfly basks in the sunlight quietly indulges in style. It goes on in slow motion illuminating the night a firefly perches on a slice of the Moon flanked by the moonlight. But you and me we will rhyme and chant in our lovely mother tongue. In the same original lingua like ‘Adam speaks up and all angels listen in paradise’. Come let’s give it a try f   l     y      away! On the wings of the moonlight we will s   a     i       l        away! Ambling by the Moon we'll **** through the starry nooks. Eyes open and gently perched atop a star for a moment or two. We will see miles of galaxies over the moonlit lakes of the blue playing cool ravishing lutes! The spring night is in bloom and the cute sleeping beauty wakes up playing the flute! Musical half lights filling the sky. Come let’s give it a try f   l     y      away! We’ll drink sharaban tahura the holy wine of paradise and once for all we will k i   s     s the death goodbye! Our story will fill the divine soil the heaven's flora and fauna each and everyone will shine on our page no houri will ever say finito singing our tale! As Adam did it first stunned the angels telling the nature of all things in paradise. We will do that once more without a smirk this time we will see the loving Creator!

Calamitous collapse of structure forged With steel and concrete built for time, Since Roman times a formula endured With engineers additional design. Why, then, did this structure fail, Did mortar crack, did reinforcing strong, Shear and plummet in an instants time To crush and doom this bridges song. In teeming rain a  silence hung Where watchers gaped in stunned awe, A magnitude of devastation lay Pulverized in valley floor. Astonishing this expanse of space Where seconds past, huge edifice, Imbued with its’ charge of lives Unknowingly to meet abyss. Innocence has lost its’ life Blame resounds around the room Someone shall pay the price For negligence in causing doom. Truth be told it’s shared by all For Italy has lagged behind Cost cutting infrastructures’ purse Because of economic bind. Time to reassess the plan Time to weep and bury dead, Clear the rubble from the land Rebuild well then forge ahead. Blame not the engineer Nor the man who drew design, Blame not the hardhat Who poured the concrete in the line. Reassign the budget spend To infrastructure, pay its share For sentiment is running hot To axe the fool who pares the fare. M. Storeman Civil Infrastructure Hamilton, NEW ZEALAND

The Genoa Calamity
Found myself at a dental clinic... He was the best there was. Unorthodox and eccentric, But to the specialised craft, he was boss. Ran through the bits and bobs Like any normally would. The poking and prodding and the mandible X-rays. Everything cold and clinical, so was the mood. Strange was what happened next... Specialist and I then stood facing each other. He leaned close and pressed his palms against my rib cage. Held them there over a few breaths before it was over. Then a brief chat, small talk initiated by the man. Bespectacled and exceedingly chatty, small in stature. Talks of politics and odd human behaviours... What started off as friendly turned into a heated banter. I then realised that along with his decorated credentials, Was his propensity to be condescending and arrogant. Him being the best, I thought I could let it all slide, But soon enough I opted out of being a willing participant. Couldn't stand his abrasive cockiness! I snapped out of being cordial and passive thought. I wanted him to just stop talking! I went, "Well, are you going to fix my teeth or not?!" He was stunned momentarily... I suppose he hadn't seen that coming. Then his features softened to a blank I could almost read the unspoken words he was conjuring. With an exasperated sigh of resignation, He uttered his next words swollen with regret "There's no need...for you only have four years left." It dawned upon me that my timer has been set. And then I woke up...

Strange Dream
I got this body from some people I knew, For a while, at least, And all of its shortcomings Including shortness Were presaged, previewed and More than adequately demonstrated Over the years we lived together. In the years I ignored that, listening Rather to their voices Which illustrated another prophesy less physical And am now stunned to welcome Both my Mother and Father In the shaving mirror everyday.

I Got This Body
walking through the woods i was surrounded by a plethora of golden bronze amber leaves tumbling in the wind sparkling with a star fire that evanesced from their jagged edges upon their descent.  i stood entranced, mesmerized, utterly hypnotized by their glorious magnificence.  i observed with intensity as a golden bronze amber leaf never having been attached to the majestic tree had no need to let go but gently released.  feeling no trepidation it wholly lacked desire for manipulation to control the forces of the wind.  i watched in awe and wonder realizing that it never disengaged from the tree knowing that separation is an illusion; it simply became the wind.  whirling it shimmered in the autumn sun as it wafted with no need for reins allowing its destination to unfold.  gingerly cascading it settled tenderly on the ground resting comfortably in ambivalence.  i sensed it did not cringe when it was picked up by an unsuspecting boot but intuitively knew immediately that it was being carried and dropped off serendipitously at an auspicious location.  i listened to it intently and drank in its essence as it simply lay in being not obsessing over what would happen consequent but sat in sheer stillness seemingly encompassing all totality.  i was stunned to see that it lingered without judgment in undivided clarity for what wild synchronicity would come.  it quenched its thirst in mystery while being completely at home in uncertainty.  the golden bronze amber leaf seemed one with all that is while simultaneously retaining awareness of self-perception.  as a gentle gust of wind coalesced with the beige fall sky it literally merged with the momentum enjoying the ride to its perfect destination.  with delicacy it rested cozily in ambiguity whispering to me that heaven is a state and not a place.  i vow surrender to black and white existence pledging fearlessly to climb higher creating life with vivid vibrancy adding golden bronze amber to my palette of colors with which i’ll paint. ©2016 janetaylor

Visiting a friend on his Quarter Horse farm, the day sunny and warm. We walked out to his brood mare pasture, the ladies were running, awaiting and sunning, anticipation in the air and their nervous behavior. Noble his name, consistency his game, a reliable aging stallion, sire to many fine sons and daughters, years of proven pairings, came halter led and prancing. He had their scent and his spirit awakened, the three ladies believed to be in season began to snigger and whinny, their excitement growing as the stallion entered their grassy domain, the dance was about to commence. The handler led the big fella' forward, both sides began their quizzical inspections. one young filly more aggressively willing than the others. Noble excitedly returned her heightened interest. Within a few minutes Noble began to rear up, he knew his job, his august appendage extended, trying several times to mount his mate intended, adrenaline pumping his back legs began to shake, on his fourth failed attempt the eager proven suitor fell to the ground, rolled over, paused for a moment and struggled to stand on unsteady legs. Appearing even somewhat embarrassed. The mare moved aside, kicked her hind legs in the stallion's direction, whinnied loudly and ran away. Rejected the old stallion stood looking perplexed, failure was something unknown to him. His spirit was willing but his aging body was weak. The old stud slowly returned to the barn, his head hung low, no longer prancing. For every time and being there is a season, aging is part of the cycle, like this stallion, we all reach this moment of understanding. Sometimes gracefully, most times with stunned disbelief. From Noble to nothing in one afternoon.

It was not a heart, beating. That muted boom, that clangor Far off, not blood in the ears Drumming up and fever To impose on the evening. The noise came from outside: A metal detonating Native, evidently, to These stilled suburbs nobody Startled at it, though the sound Shook the ground with its pounding. It took a root at my coming Till the thudding shource, exposed, Counfounded in wept guesswork: Framed in windows of Main Street's Silver factory, immense Hammers hoisted, wheels turning, Stalled, let fall their vertical Tonnage of metal and wood; Stunned in marrow. Men in white Undershirts circled, tending Without stop those greased machines, Tending, without stop, the blunt Indefatigable fact.

Night Shift
This isn't a love that can be Put on speaker phone. We're far too silly for that. Easily saying the first thing that Comes to mind. One moment to the next, Stunned slience. Phone etiquette thrown out the window. This isn't a love that can be sat down. Kept between an ear and a shoulder. The amount of time it takes for someone to leave the room. Conducted in civil manner. Attempting not to shout, Completely losing train of thought. Not sure of validation, Our voices raise a bit. By now you should know we shouldn't have to limit ourselves like that. Denying a freedom that connects us to whom we truly are. Our quirks, general weirdness. The crazy looks from those around. The laughs that get funnier each moment that passes. By now you should know that we are the complete definition of crazy. Often appearing in person, Before one of us can hang up. Laughing hysterically, Continuing the conversation At any given time or place. This definately isn't a love that Can be placed on speaker phone If we have to applogize for what we say. Afraid to be who we really are. Isolated from who we truly are

Your body Is a creation of the galaxies A coming together of milky ways and solar flares When I first saw you, I was stunned At the sheer amount of stardust it would take To make something that beautiful Your body Is a glass case Struggling to hold rivers in your veins Herds of wild horses in your chest The monarch migration in your stomach Slowly you are cracking The glass relenting to the spirit it cannot hold But when it breaks you will not hurt You will be free

Your Body
*The two felt a chemical attraction. Serotonin leaked onto his uncovered skin. He couldn't speak, his tongue dried, dehydrated by her heat. **** those eyes were like Kryptonite, He had pride in himself for being a statue. Smooth as a razor blade he came out of that conversation dull. The wrong impression was given since he had handed her rotten flowers. Give me a second to recollect my thoughts and bring them back from the stunned blackout, wow, you are such a powerful knockout. I'm fixing my posture and choosing my words right. Our symbols are well matched and I'm not talking astrology, I'm talking chemistry. Two different colors mixed together makes her blush and makes me crush.*
