"suggestions" poems
(thanx all for the great suggestions) <!> women who wink drive men to drink together, glasses clink tattoos follow in ink and that ain’t the only thing ~ the tiller tied & forgot, the slip knot jinxed the sailboat nearly sinks ~ he cries aloud “you minx!” I’m all done in, you’ve got me sminked,^ you winking whilst me sailing on the oceans brink ~ she smirked and laughed that slinky mink, “clearly you are confused - I’m a lynx, count to cinq, don’t overthink, join me overboard into the **** I’ll finish you off in the the kitchen sink where drowning possibilities are next to nothink promise, we’ll be quite in sync”

It's a plan in itself, Not an open invitation for suggestions To go on long walks, or dancing, Or paint-balling, or take a drive Down to the beach. It doesn't mean I am free To do one of the hundreds of tasks You decide are more important, In an attempt to fill my day With a different kind of meaning. Today I am doing nothing, Because I have become lost, In a world where doing something, anything Is so expected of ourselves and each other That simply doing nothing is viewed As a waste of time. We so rarely have opportunity To have the conversations in our heads That determine who we really are, As we watch the moments floating past, Lying under the stars. Today I am doing nothing, Please understand that what I desire, Is silent doorbells, unknocked doors And that the phone doesn't ring As I curl up by the fire.

Today I Am Doing Nothing
Her eyes are poetry and a blink of her eyes is a poem. Her voice is poetry and each of her words is a poem. Her thinking is poetry and each of her thoughts is a poem. My love for her is poetry and each of my expressions for her is a poem. My care for her is poetry and each of my suggestions for her is a poem. My desire for her is poetry and each expression of my romance for her is a poem. Our mutual attraction is poetry and each of our confessions to one another is a poem. Our eternal relationship is poetry and each of our manifestations for one another is a poem. Our way of talking to each other is poetry and each of our conversations with one another is a poem.

Goddess of virility suckles me to ****** Her legs stiffen… to acute angles. Toes, ballerina firm make her body—                          levitate from the bed. A smile reveals…fangs the tips of which           are barely…touching                    my ear. The lizard tongue hisses in ecstasy revealing ancient—spiritual…bliss mystics could only            speculate of. Her anaconda legs wrap—         around my back as her fingernails            embed into          my            spine.    When I yank Her hair                     Her             eyes Scream                   inside                out. Our bodies— Swimming             in An ocean      of         ravenous                   Liquids pulsating from       our pores. Sopping hair clings           to our        foreheads         we suddenly realize—                  A new shape is            invented.       We make a sound         so         primal inside each other’s mouth as her jaws snap down to my neck— both bodies rigor-mortis stiffen        as the mountains collapse around us and        the   sky is ripped open      as a tsunami billows down into a wave of exhaustion. The wind cradles us, Back to the earth     We split, Admiring a new continent We created.       Our limp bodies— numb from the velocity and suggestions resign to the crater we call a bed. We smile, simultaneously, looking past our brains, realizing… in         this        moment we, are one.

They had played for too long. The stretching shadows sang in minor whilst tackling gusts scratched the colour from his hands and tugged wire through her clutches. Their fettered aircrafts swooped in plunging shifts: seconds of clouded rhapsody and cotton screams- equalled in deflection and discord. Their colourful counterparts climbed higher, twisting in solar breezes. They gaped upwards with tense suggestions neither knowing how to sever their tangled kite-strings.

How many marbles can you fit into a bowl until you say you can't count them? I do not want events layered upon events. Birthdays toppling over birthdays: a layer cake of responsibilities that aren't 'responsibilities'. That do not count. That cannot be measured or described as taxing or numerous. I am outnumbered by numberless nonsense. I am outweighed by weightless wafting pleasantries; and opportunities; and life-sustaining things; that bowl me over. My womb is a desert called Death Valley and you wish to comb it for antique glass bottles. I care not. I cannot partake in any more suggestions of what I might do with my 'free time'. But you're not feeling the tingling sensation in your gut every time you wake up and the lights don't turn on. The wheels don't work. The mechanical arms don't move like they are supposed to. Like the parts of you you're supposed to have on automatic have just given up the ghost and abandoned you. You're alone and miserable and none of it rings any bells. None of it gives out any signs. None of it counts. I'm crying because the milk spilled and there isn't any milk left anywhere in the world. We're out. We're just the land of Honey now.

THE ACACIA HOTEL
I know you are part of my destiny So I haven't cried as much over our separation True, I did cry an ocean of tears But not so many to drown the grounds I stand upon I said words of frustration And whispered cries of surrender and desertion But I am open to emotions and those words allowed release -But- what I suggested in heated state of mind was just that Suggestions, not proclamations nor plans You know I tend to submerge myself in evil waters In order to rise from them with strength even greater Those shouts you may or may not have heard were the waters I was wading And now, I am back to the heavens with a heart more unbreakable Refreshed and replenished with the purity of home air I remain sure of the decision I made that day Don't worry, I am still certain of my true love for you No- More certain of everything I guess it took all those months to realise it I needed to break down in strengthening To lead the way to the point of exhaustion Because now, it's your turn to stand ahead As I deep down predicted, my words did not gain action Although reactions were clearly achieved Though words were controlled and questions avoided Your eyes that trick you, are as always unable to deceive me I guess what I am trying to express Is my undying true love for you My heart is unbroken, despite what I said Still holding you within, still cradling our infants to come

True love never dies
Preface **When the broad mind has opened, to gaze the stars that shinning in the unfathomable skies and the glittering Nature, its flowers’ fragrances given to taste the wealthy realms of her, as well as Earth's mysteries—that I ever think of to feel and by my thoughts that spread so deep to try to work with things that sounds of ‛creative’. Here I the ‛moody soul’ started his first journey, leaving his home  a few years ago and his up-start was through Literature, Science and Arts and Fiction. Writings and paintings here I believed to be most powerful and that those more often need to convey by the Artist’s conscience and the intensity that gains moral knowledge and appreciation. Here the book has the pictorial paths of Quest and the wanderings, all by imagination’s boat, sails from the western Ideas and its enthusiastic flow. Some finds hope along and also hopelessness, God and Love vagabonding among these ink-stained pages. Dreamt in the wandering world where no chains shall bind, from the dark veiled lands to the daring spark, no atoms that obscure the force calling light, to aim the glad precious moments of life, to embrace me with a silence and its whispering magic, where gate of hope’s always open to bliss, thundering words are always from roam, the nocturnal pleasure that I only know, and when all will run away as time—why I alone in the upward steps of solitude that caressing wild only wings? If I met Life as a strange stage of different senses—and I only say you to enjoy the aggressive fruits of my invention. Here it is for all of you can read and evaluate.** Nithin Purple Acknowledgement                                        **This book is dedicated to my parents of Love and support, from where I got the powers to be inspired—to write and prove. Special Thanks to Parisian Author and poet Roman Payne of ‛cultural book’ for supporting me as a writer of varying tastes.  Also Writer, Wilson B Sanchez of New York, who first gave suggestions   and his valuable sparkling comments of self-improvable topics, which I always bother. Belated friend, poet and writer, Curtis Plaskon from France for his valuable support. Also Poet Timothy & Hilda from Virginia, to them I had good writing memories. And for all the Indians, this book is an open heart to read.**

Fingers cut palms as hands turn to stone And a catapult hurls the projectile home Knuckles collapse from bone meeting bone Down in the alleys where miscreants roam Suggestions of violence fill gutters with blood Fill heads with the sense of nefarious thrill Their skin turns to ash and their brains into mud Rage in the kingdom of eager to **** The children are soldiers who train everyday Cowboys and Indians, Robbers and Cops ****** is plot and the actors will play Portraying the place life will come to a stop Violence is cancer, and love is no more Edge of our seats waiting for the next war Dedicated to the deceased and forgotten, Love and Peace

Reenvisioned: Airborne Muse #2: Once I wrote:
A woman of shear beauty Her attractiveness being at her duty She gets any man she wants Annabelle knows how to taunt It is the way she walks and talks Men feel her senses and respond in stalk Annabelle dresses in expensive long gowns Her hips are firm and are round At parties, woman look Annabelle up and down Yet they never utter any sound It’s the way men grapple at Annabelle’s feet Once they see Annabelle men don’t retreat Annabelle moves every so carefully in her stance Her good looks and attractiveness with every staring chance This is how Annabelle’s suggestions advance Annabelle’s methods in all systems go Her hips in suggesting just follow my flow Annabelle’s statement, “Hold on to your man” I am in control and it’s within my own command My masterpiece is what you see It is Annabelle’s canvas that says she.

MISTRESS ANNABELLE
They call me a **** Tell me I’m a ***** That I’m fat And that I’m ugly. Yet they don’t know that when I go home I hear it all again. The students voices echo in my mind. The long sleeves I wear to school even in 90 degree weather covers the scars. I try to become invisible, to walk by unnoticed, but it never works. They sense my presence and lash out at me, Like a wolf on it’s prey. I go home and cry myself to sleep. Every night their words echo in my ears, never going away. Messages with the same words heard every day. Suggestions of killing myself. It wouldn’t make much difference Just one less person crowding the halls. One less person silently screaming inside. One less person to believe I’m worthless. Tears stream down my face as she ***** the gun. The song that originally saved my life begins to play. I close my eyes, and with a deep breath he pulls the trigger. The only thing left of me being the note that I wrote. “I’m sorry...I can’t do this anymore” with blood splattered across the pages.

One Shot (Persona Poem)
I bent down to her ear and said Thank you for all you’ve done Not just for NY But for the World She looked at me expressionless from her chair I don’t think that she understood nor cared Then I handed her a little Bag Containing two lipsticks And two pencils I think she threw the pencils on the floor and Wondered aloud Why was everyone giving her pencils? She did not notice that of the two that I gave her one was stamped in gold With the one word Hustler And on the other, two Strictly Business I made no suggestions nor references I didn’t smirk I must have appeared a bit sweet A treacly aberration It doesn’t matter I had selected two perfect reds in LA One a bit more blue and one a classic vampish carmine Blood red can be a challenge even against pale pale Skin. Standing in the lift Fully attuned she caught me not merely looking into her eyes But seeing what I saw A death’s head? I hate when I’m caught doing that Under the fluorescent light She was dog rough Pasty with sad sunken eyes I was thrown, but by what exactly Her magpie distress? Her etheric calamity? Her puffy, aging face? We sat and spoke for a while later that night She did not recognize me at all and apologized maybe it was the next day that the three of us had lunch Everyone in good spirits The mandrake’s screams Forgotten with smiles and a wink Memory bamboozled and Make-up duly applied She took out the lipstick And redrew the lines She liked the shining black case with the little black ribbon for a pull She told our companion sitting on a stoop smoking cigarettes I like your friend and I wondered does she realize that we already know one another?

Someone once told me that love was blind. Youth is wasted on the young, We are all going to die. After un-clutching scraps of what I'll never find, This is all that I've brought. I am all that is mine. Don't ever, ever, little girl, Listen to the old. The world of those who Raised them were as dark as Devils compared to the Funlit days we live. To them, infatuation came In work's way. To them, romance was Mind's comfort; the Substance of fantasy. In our world, your heart's Every beat for another Rings as true To Love's ears as Her own To herself. Yet the cloak hangs so heavily Around all of these scenes. Each notion a portrait, Undistinguished and vague yet Littered with details strewn in Alarming Array. I take with rock salt All that they've had to say. For how does dim Memory To a feeling Compare? Let us forget to look back And listen for Wisdom. Let us forget to ask For opinions; vantage points. All fingerprints blur In time and fade forgotten Into their surfaces; the Grip they once formed Long, long released. Love, if only for a second. Love, even if you know That it's wrong. No love ever was. Love. You'll have bigger Regrets in time. Only we know What it means to be Exactly this Young Today. Only I See through these keyholes Carved upon my Face. I am free from pre-conceived restraints. I am a beacon Of naïve wisdom, A sponge for all feelings Un-hardened by fate. Suggestions Directions Instructions abound. I am free from these shackles, Boundless heartwaves Resound I see not your keyholes for the Key in my eye. You are Divine Feminine expressing Herself Through yourself; as yourself. Quill dipped in own wisdom. Heart's blood and history. Afloat in eternities of Utter female Warmth. Someone once told you that love was blind. That youth was wasted on the young. I don't want to hear you Sounding that old Ever again. Notions. Heartwaves. Manifestations. Art saved. Inspirations. Emotions.

Notions (with Sverre G. Holter)

Tsk tsk tossed go out Your suggestions. Whisk whisk washed flow south Your directions. Hiss hiss sorry no time for sage reflections. Songs you sang will not be sung Nor any tales of strength believed. The brain embodied in such young Must think it he first to perceive. Ask every man Who first made sparks? From rocks to barks? Blinding night and fooling fear? Wholly gone ghost Our first bright creature He harnessed fire Then disappeared. Realizations when thought anew Seem to skip from us awry. So no Salutes nor an ovation For those who fostered Us will be spied. Gods truth your lips bespoke to youth Yet still it's not their time to hear. For these ears are full of magic And your end rolls Crushing near.

Degrade Satisfaction (take two)
Last weekend, one of your friends called me your manic pixie dream girl. So in the movie that is my life, I'm not even the main character, just the quirky sidekick to my male protagonist. And it's probably my ego speaking, but I don't think that's right. And I don't think that I, of all people, should be the one showing you the beauty of a world that I only see in kinetic blurs and swatches, passing by me in my free fall from this life to the next. Because I tried once to see the world without a filter, but its stagnancy sent me in a downward spiral and somehow I ****** you into it-- into me. And I don't mean to be your whirlwind woman, destined to spit you out--disoriented-- somewhere that you've never been before, somewhere that no map ever cared to acknowledge, somewhere stained with my essence, my idiosyncrasies, and your new found head trauma. And you're a rational guy and I'm an on again off again rational girl who needs a little help stilling the edges of her narrative, who longs for a tether or a buoy to keep her from flying off or sinking down. So maybe if you held my shoulders to stop me from spinning, my vision would sober up, and I'd focus solely on your curves and your angles as they entered my retinas, while the rest of the world behind you faded into blurry suggestions to be adhered to by someone who gave a **** about them And after you wiped the puke from your shoes, maybe you'd see me focused in your eyes and maybe, just maybe... ...you'd just call me your dream girl.

I know that some of us, well many of else have noticed the tiny hemorrhoid who has been festering around HP for a while now. He pops in, leaves his unkind marks on our skin, causing us to scratch and irritate the area. What I am wondering is how many have noticed his poems (for lack of a better term and in an attempt to be somewhat nice) trending with only 1 like? My friends, they trend because so many people view them…not like them. That is how it works here at times. Views vs. people following you. He has only a few following him (proof drugs are still running rampant) and it only takes a few views to cause his used toilet paper offerings to trend. This, in my opinion is his goal. He spends his time trying to discourage anyone he comes in contact with so that it will cause us to view his vomited works. (Ok, getting a little uglier). He slaps and then runs, waiting to see what we will do to feed his regurgitated ego, and we follow, accepting his bait. My suggestion is to completely ignore this hemorrhoid, block him, no reading, no leaving ugly remarks on his work…just make him invisible to you and every one else. Let him write his little crayon projects and post them on his own fridge (because I’m sure his mom won’t even put them on hers). Will he eventually go away? Probably not, he is so full of himself; he could not live without himself. But, we can go away…not from the site, but from him. There are people like this everywhere…people who get joy from hurting others, people who sit there with a pen in one hand and something else in the other. (use you imagination) Ignore this pain; don’t let it get you down. If we all do this then maybe, just maybe he will get the hint…probably not. But maybe the swelling will go down a little. This is just my opinion and my suggestions.

My friends, they trend because so many people view them…not like them. That is how it works here at times. Views vs. people following you. He has only a few following him (proof drugs are still running rampant) and it only takes a few views to cause his used toilet paper offerings to trend. This, in my opinion is his goal. He spends his time trying to discourage anyone he comes in contact with so that it will cause us to view his vomited works. (Ok, getting a little uglier). He slaps and then runs, waiting to see what we will do to feed his regurgitated ego, and we follow, accepting his bait. My suggestion is to completely ignore this hemorrhoid, block him, no reading, no leaving ugly remarks on his work…just make him invisible to you and every one else. Let him write his little crayon projects and post them on his own fridge (because I’m sure his mom won’t even put them on hers). Will he eventually go away? Probably not, he is so full of himself; he could not live without himself. But, we can go away…not from the site, but from him. There are people like this everywhere…people who get joy from hurting others, people who sit there with a pen in one hand and something else in the other. (use you imagination) Ignore this pain; don’t let it get you down. If we all do this then maybe, just maybe he will get the hint…probably not. But maybe the swelling will go down a little. This is just my opinion and my suggestions.

I'm speechless That's my approach as you approach me And usually I'm too focused on finding the perfect words To penetrate the simple space I provide So when beautiful girls intentionally invade my atmosphere My need for speech is satisfied Your beauty speaks sufficiently for two So while I'm struggling for oxygen, I hope you recognize Your presence is all I've ever needed to breathe easily I'm stuck Between unexpressed elegance And helplessness My mouth is screaming out But frozen completely shut I'm worried my compliments May be complications That my suggestions Might suppress my objective here We typically rely on our words To settle the score As if you and I are in overtime Of a tie ballgame Looking for phrases to frame the scoreboard With an absolute victor But I was hoping that you'd be willing to join forces To break through the proverbial force field That prohibits rivals from overthrowing obstacles Because I've always believed the input overpowers the outcome What if it were possible To eliminate our speech So our ears could erase the need to draw conclusions We don't etch our words in pencil Our words are enunciated in permanent marker Brutally beating through our eardrums Rhythmically reminding us That silence can be more sweet sounding than any set of syllables All I know is I'm hell-bent on remaining a straight shooter My arrows will always be designed for the bulls-eye But lately I've been questioning my targets They haven't been painted red and white for all the world to see They've been camouflaged by constricted communication Secretly searching for statements that haven't met the airwaves yet So I'd much rather absorb your definite thoughts Than accept your remarks as absolute    The truth is I'm not sure What needs to be said. The syllables I've learned to form Don't apply to situations where Words remain inherently absent. And too often we force our hand To make phrases appear Where they don't belong. But something about Silent speeches is appealing to me. Because the power in your eyes reduce The need for any type of sound. And the shock waves your steps make As you inch closer to mine Create the sweetest melodies. So all I will tell you is this: Let's leave words out of this.

Silent Speeches
I'm speechless That's my approach as you approach me And usually I'm too focused on finding the perfect words To penetrate the simple space I provide So when beautiful girls intentionally invade my atmosphere My need for speech is satisfied Your beauty speaks sufficiently for two So while I'm struggling for oxygen, I hope you recognize Your presence is all I've ever needed to breathe easily I'm stuck Between unexpressed elegance And helplessness My mouth is screaming out But frozen completely shut I'm worried my compliments May be complications That my suggestions Might suppress my objective here We typically rely on our words To settle the score As if you and I are in overtime Of a tie ballgame Looking for phrases to frame the scoreboard With an absolute victor But I was hoping that you'd be willing to join forces To break through the proverbial force field That prohibits rivals from overthrowing obstacles Because I've always believed the input overpowers the outcome What if it were possible To eliminate our speech So our ears could erase the need to draw conclusions We don't etch our words in pencil Our words are enunciated in permanent marker Brutally beating through our eardrums Rhythmically reminding us That silence can be more sweet sounding than any set of syllables All I know is I'm hell-bent on remaining a straight shooter My arrows will always be designed for the bulls-eye But lately I've been questioning my targets They haven't been painted red and white for all the world to see They've been camouflaged by constricted communication Secretly searching for statements that haven't met the airwaves yet So I'd much rather absorb your definite thoughts Than accept your remarks as absolute    The truth is I'm not sure What needs to be said.

Somethin' about an empty room, depending on how the light asks to be let in on its edges. An empty room don’t expect you to do nothin' whatever. And its floor responds in this kinda lilting relief when you tap-dance barefoot upon it. If you sit in all its corners, with your eyeballs (try it!) you can trace the refractions and suggestions on the wall, 'specially the places where paint and odd plaster stick up like little men and cast shadows all their own. You can spend hours doing this. You, the impressionable film upon which the world's projected herself—you turn the world upside down and make sense of the image in this empty box. You Make art here. Shout here! Run and kick and punch through the walls and Love them as you do so, kid. Something about emptiness itself, gets a lot of flack, you think, cast as grave. Hell! Emptiness: potential, Emptiness: casting being in sharp distinction. Emptiness: sensual, like breath before the action of the human magnetic. You: the one alive in this your empty room and therefore acutely aware of what you chose to project in such vibrant relief. Today, it is newspapers and magazine clippings and a notebook and a blue pen and a book by Susan Sontag. Today you lie on the woody floor, supine, eyes wide and become part of it your lungs breathe life into this ancient emptiness. And the air between its walls vibrates, and sighs, nascent, ‘thank you.’

The St. Patricks Day party
Gilhooley had ordered a meeting Everyone had to come round St. Patricks day will be upon us And a venue just has to be found We have to find somewhere authentic Our normal old pub just won't do We can't celebrate with the punters Where the beer isn't green, it's dyed blue Gilhooley awaited suggestions It had to be somewhere close by There were all sorts of names on the table So they decided to give them a try It needed to be "somewhat old Irish" with no dee jay, and a folky type band they had to have red headed women And a barman, with drinks poured and at hand The first place they went was McKenna's It seemed like a great place at first but the service was slower than treacle and a man would just die here of thirst They found one that looked rather Irish It was known as the new *** of gold it had a rainbow outside on the awning this should have been a warning fortold the next one they tried was a classic The green and gold tavern....a hit but, it was booked on the day for a party and this didn't please them one bit they finally found one to their liking full of guineess and pretty colleens a punjabi bar by the name of ben doury's where everything was curried and green it was a party that no one remembered that meant that it must have been good nobody went to the jailhouse even though three or four of them should The beer and the curry were epic the singing was like nothing we'd heard a sitar and cymbal based trio played so loud that nothing was heard Gilhooley said next year we have to come back here and do it again It was the best St. Patty's ever most of them passed out by ten The next time you go out to party call Ben Doury, the place is spot on the food and the beer are one colour with a Punjabi Mumbai Leprachaun

A volley of gunfire A stream of offensive epithets. An amazed girl And an enraged boy. After every volley of gunfire, There was a respawning individual. Steam could be seen emanating from his ears Anger radiated off of him. The girl watched carefully Taking note of every action. The sounds of battle could be heard And the boy kept getting aggressive. Innovative and anatomically impossible suggestions were made Names were called and yelled out And the game continued “I effing stuck him” was repeatedly yelled. Finally, after a long rant, The boy jumped with ecstasy In the heat of the final battle, he won. Now he wouldn’t have to fling his controller The girl applauded him, thankful for the blessed silence.

Deliverance
Under alcohol umbrellas We'll seek shelter from the snow This street is icing over Sliding sleet beneath our toes. This place keeps getting colder, They predicted our bad luck But the globe is growing warmer Choke me down, I'll get choked up. It's like Wharton is your neighbor And McCarthy shares her bed-- We've got plenty Pretty Horses But no Room, here, for Old Men Tickers spit out headlines Half of us can't even read. But the other half's no better, We're cannibals eating dreams. So you'll keep your smoke and mirrors. And, reflecting, stifle coughs. Operate under assumptions: Overrated's good enough. But I'm taking bets, suggestions, And donations, West to East. So, from minor indiscretions, I might try to beg release.
