"surmised" poems
From youth, not unlike the love I received from my family, I surmised, that extended love might be everywhere. With artless, open arms and heart, I embraced this simple notion. In time, sadly this childish wish was honed to a hard truth by maturation. Friends and loves come and go, fleeting in heart, and committed soul. Unreliably, flowing in and ebbing out, like deep undulations of an ocean, all too often with sneaker waves that pull us under. Breakers pushing our ship onto the rocks, in a sea of shallow unfulfilled expectations. Encounters becoming disappointment, with too many frogs kissed. My educated suspicion is, beyond our family of blood kin, Faithful canine love is the only other "truly committed devotion" we are likely to get. In the end, that may well be enough. Perspective wisdom can be a bitter lesson.

Realistic Expectations
I need only to smirk and you’re mine Anytime If it’s god that you want I have dozens in mind Devilishly divine Bending time like a grandeur delusional Spine   In a mad hatter ectoplas-mystical slime A prismatic drug addict’s first nursery rhyme Of accursed hearse verses of graphic design Now to lay to rest intellect spectacles musing Of selves glorified more than those of my choosing To deify Destiny’s Deathly serenity Plentifully sending me vibrant surprises And penning my ending in violent demises Disguises surmised by the climate arises Girl always there riding my similar waves As I try to save face digging mechanized graves But the cloud tentacles To the depths Drag me down To demented ascension Black holes in the ground Where disciples of light And my huntress in white Vivify me by day Resurrect me at night To instruct and deduct Reasoning in a state Of a being supreme Contemplating its fate

The Sentience on Acid
712 Because I could not stop for Death— He kindly stopped for me— The Carriage held but just Ourselves— And Immortality. We slowly drove—He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility— We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess—in the Ring— We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain— We passed the Setting Sun— Or rather—He passed Us— The Dews drew quivering and chill— For only Gossamer, my Gown— My Tippet—only Tulle— We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground— The Roof was scarcely visible— The Cornice—in the Ground— Since then—’tis Centuries—and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses’ Heads Were toward Eternity—

He lived down the street from us, And came to be known as, The man whose wife left him. We speculated and surmised. None but two knew the reason why He became The man whose wife left him. He stopped cutting the grass And weeding the beds. He won’t play his uke On the porch like he did. From all accounts, He was a good Dad, None ever heard him Explete a foul word. He worked till retired, Never was fired. I'm told he lived a gentle life; Never started a fight, Or ran from strife. That's what I heard About the man whose wife left him. Left to his own devices, The man whose wife left him, Left.

The Man Whose Wife Left
Eros himself took one look at you He smiled & at once knew, no more he could do He surmised that his arrow would just go to waste On a woman of such impeccable Beauty and taste To paint Love on your smile would be utterly useless And attempts to teach your being of Love would be fruitless This God of Love recognised what I have known from the start That there's no greater capacity for Love than in Your magnanimous human heart The embodiment of Love is what, in You, he saw The Avatar of One Love so powerful and raw What caught him off-guard and took him by surprise Was seeing the familiar in the Nebula of your eyes Without doubt an incarnation of his Goddess mother Aphrodite reborn in humanity's finest Lover But even the Gods blush when in Love you ARE From the Brilliance of your Aura that burns bright as a star A heat from deep within Self that radiates wide and far You are truly in Love and you deserve to be Adored & Celebrated on high for all eternity for nothing comes close to the Love You create even Gaia's heart swells as she breathes and pulsates Lifetimes I'll spend showing you as often as I can This humble twin Soul man Will never stop Loving his strawberry Moon Jan

Train Love Poem, Love Train Poem
In the 2nd grade a puppy love crush on the teacher steeped deep in me to my delight her clear eyes recognized the promise of a chubby boy in all of his quaint simplicity her gentle voice, friendly and firm, filled with caring instruction the giddy class attuned to her fresh brunette bouffant, bunned and perfectly coiffed, speaking style and youthful whimsy, not a strand of hair out of place her svelte figure flowed through classroom isles filling the space with scented graces of prescient carnations that afternoon she was abruptly called from the class when she returned our beautiful princess was sobbing she concealed her face then turned her back on the class, crying in a corner to dismayed blushing blackboards regaining composure she turned exposing her tear stained cheeks and dissheveled hair to an unsettled class “the President hurt his back” she announced.  “He’s in the hospital.” Whoa… I thought, the President hurt his back.  That's terrible I surmised. our beloved teacher dismissed us and resumed her tearful grief when I arrived home my mother was sitting on the bed weeping.  “President Kennedy is dead” she blared. my mother’s rumpled housecoat and tousled hair flattered her flowing tears and anguished sobs. the tears of women marked the end of many puppy loves that day Bob Marley & The Wailers No Woman No Cry Oakland 10/15/13 jbm

Woman No Cry
I was waiting for a simple message from you that we both know was never to come. I sat impatiently atop the cities tallest building and watched the coming storm.  I witnessed the water beat the feeble earth into submission and it looked alright to me.  But then the raging sinless sea swallowed the shore.  The end of our hometown (est. 1919) took about a minute and a half. A man leapt out of his chair and said it was amazing as the punishing, purifying wave tore into his home of 20 years.  The coin laundromats and malls became the shallows and downtown by the Top 40 radio station became the deep.  Clown fish swam amongst the stop lights, trash cans and satellite dishes.  And a coral reef began to grow deeply into the brick of the tasty Greek restaurant at the corner of MLK and Main.  Eels and rays swam up the sidewalks and hammerheads patroled the submerged skyscrapers.  Admittedly, a lot of the busy people who didn’t take the time to look out their smudged windows and watch the water devour the flood walls and seafront property didn’t make it out of their homes and cars and schools and businesses.  And those people that didn’t make it to the outskirts of the metro in time were quickly drowned and integrated breathlessly into the oceanic food chain.  The deep began to kiss my ankles and I thought I would surely drown.  I surmised that you probably weren’t thinking about us at that moment and that it was for the best.  You had other matters on your mind. I watched a miniature apocalypse take place and I thought I should probably call and quickly tell you that everything you ever loved was gone or going. I decided against it. Anything I say to you is gonna come out wrong anyway.

Ham took you to a cafe on London Road; he was meeting Bernard there. Sit there, Ham said, indicating a table by the wall with wallpaper with a flowered pattern. You sat; stared around the cafe; frowned at two men at the next table. Who's there? You say, pointing towards them, wondering where your Lord Hamlet had gone, and these two jesters at his court. What's the matter, love? One of the men said, smiling, eyeing you, taking in your hair and eyes. Nay, answer me, you said, stand, and unfold yourself. Ham came over to the table: Hush, Ophelia, he said. He apologised to the men, twirling a finger at the side of his head. You gazed at your lord; he contested with these jesters, you surmised, eyeing them. They looked away from you; conversed between themselves; sipped their mugs of tea, ate their breakfasts. You sat gazing at your lord bargaining with a rogue. He brought two mugs of tea and bacon sandwiches and sat opposite you, his back to the jesters. Bernard will be here soon, Ham said, gazing at you, behave yourself. Bernardo? Yes, Bernard, so keep your voice down, Ham said. He began his sandwich; you began yours. Bernard came in the cafe and ordered a tea, and waved. Bernardo, you said, you come most carefully upon your hour. Hush, Ophelia, Ham said. Bernard smiled at you; he tried to understand you and your vocal expressions. Bernardo, you said softer and waved. He waved back and paid the rogue and went, and sat next you, facing Ham. Unfold yourself, you said. Ham raised his hand to hush you. You sat and ate and drank. Your lord was speaking with his minister; he spoke of battle, you assumed, and jested of wounds of war. You felt your *** beneath your dress; it felt so sore.

Rainbow cascades down the clouds In all its colorful splendor, only to Ingress in a land listless and gray. The people watch in horror as color Invades them, the contrast, repulsive. The children scream and run to their Mothers, pointing at such anomaly. “Don’t look, my dears. Such filth your Eyes must not witness.” A curious   Bystander inspects the rainbow and as he Lay his hands on it, color makes its way Up his arm, flushing out the pale visage. His hair the color of earth, hazel eyes, and Garments, a fiery crimson and tint of   Sunrise. Pandemonium erupts as the   Man of color stands before the crowds. “Mom, why does he have color?” “Keep your distance, my dear, he might be dangerous.” The man of color walks Down the street as people scurry away In fear. “You! Hands up!” Commands a Squad of armed officers and they proceed To arrest him. Cuffed, he is taken to the Town jailhouse and studied by a team of Physicians. “How do you feel, Sir?” “ I feel happier than I ever felt in years.” The man of color surmised he was free, But little did he know he was imprisoned By the town. Marked. Stigmatized. Reviled.   A freak who lost it all for showing his true Colors. Ostracized and alone, why live? But one fateful day, the man of color found Purpose, and discovered an ability to infuse Color on any object he chose. It didn’t take long For his house to burst with vibrant blues, reds, Greens, and yellows. He hurried outside to Breathe resplendent hues onto pallid flowers, And took a step back, glowing with pride. Onwards he dashed to town to impart color On the bleak streets and its ashen inhabitants. “Hold it right there, freak!" Yelled someone from Behind. "I saw what you did, and I can’t let you Pass.” A shot was heard and a bullet pierced Through his sanguine heart. Falling to his knees, The man of color kissed the ground and Declared, “May color come to those who love,” And breathed his last.

Content, with a tinge of love, I repent All I've given up. Realize what I've surmised Is a traversed trial of fire. Higher, higher; The atmosphere you admire: Lighter breathing, Muscles beating, Entreating my desire. A pyre, The phoenix feeling renaissance: The lover's having --- Once the want to be satisfied --- Which was, while shattered, reconciled --- Compiled a mile-long list To mist the ever-flowering tree Of prospect, Respecting past Opinion. Your dominion over my Ever-subjugating heart (Pulsating a Morse message) Belittles meaning in Stockholm Syndrome, For I am no Shackled drone; And, forever, This you've known. We are symbiotic. We are psychotic. Celeritous symbols Sampling this: Extended metaphor. Extempore, we entertain and Adore each other, The world we are to each. So: teach me how you look With beseeching reach Into deep territory in sleep; Incept directly And affect me Romantically. Augment what is meant and true.

as i approach 50 I think how did this happen...me getting old I mean. I know the alternative is not that appealing... but perhaps a granting of my own personal groundhog day is a worthy wish....it doesn't matter which. I could craft most any day of my life into something spectacular! Is that wisdom? After almost half a century, I've surmised to be suspended in time the best I could ask for? well maybe, perhaps then I could amend all my imperfections... reform all the mistakes I've made and re-emerge a better man... just now it occurs to me...this could be my groundhog moment...the epiphany that the next 50 years brings me living a life well thought... more compassionate, more open, more giving, more alive! ....more likely, just more use of adult diapers...

Once upon a time, there lived a lady Gem When she cleared her throat, she went ahem, ahem! not to take anything cold, so was she advised but she didn't care as much her doctor did; so I surmised The aroma ran sweet when she started to cook Her tasty muffins' recipes could easily fill a book Her friends who ate them wouldn't just stop with one And in the end, she would normally be left with none When it came to work, she was conscientious And in all that she did, she was fastidious Though sometimes one could say, her mood was capricious In all that she did and said, she was simply courageous She had a large heart, and it was not just with food In every one's life that she crossed paths, she blessed them with good! Anyone who asked for help, would never be told no She was one of the kindest souls one could ever get to know!

A poem for Gem!
Machiavelli spoke of prophets, and surmised that it is only those prophets armed by something that have seen their message spread. Arm me then, arm me with your nightmares and your suffering and your nights filled with wailing at the sky. Arm me with the anorexic teenage Americans, with the empty eyes of the Afghani fellahina, with the broken hopes of a ********** in Juarez. Give me your shame at the mirror's lies, give me your self-inflicted scars, give me that loathing for yourself. Give me that need for one more shot, give me that hopelessness after *** give me the knowledge that Mom is never coming back. Clothe me with the skins of a hundred thousand suicides, pour over me the tears of a million hungry souls, burn me with the fire of ten million hearts broken under the heel of a monstrous tyrant. Do these things, and you will see us become what you've been afraid of all these years.

Clarion
The poignance of a well lit room overshadowed by impending doom the effervescence loom the smoke screen hues lyrical debauchery of the cacophony of the bees the monotony of human bee-ings the trees sway unrest the roots melt with soot the oaks bent their heads raise a white smoke flag in silent victory, Where are we lifeless or livid again ? Are we questioning dreams of ourselves? These veins **** as a toad hops, onto the gravel of a broken pavement from a shallow pool of naked warmth, somewhere deep hidden under these falls, a white sleeve of corporate piety; human mirth of bilious greenery, crackling like bones, the froth of jealousy pools as teary eyes roll over rapid.eye.movement sleep, it lurks behind crimson bushes, eyes glinting like headlights, glitter fury. You’re an abomination to every blood-poem I’ve surmised so far, no matter how far. Your eyes match the size and shade of my backyard moon orchards. A satiable reflection of what we used to be, In a spectrum of green. I cease to be.

They exiled him from their loveless land for willingly breaking its rule again and again, he was asked to **** love, once and for all love that moves as silent waves of the sea, never ceases to move, within the depth of his heart. He was chained and treated like an outcast, how could a loveless world understand, the meaning of his passion, that binds him with hers. He was out of his mind they surmised never could they imagine they were the ones insane. Every morning a grubby voice will ask him: "Do you still hear the music of love the waves play?" he was calm and said"I am yet another one, like Prometheus, this is my fire, I stole it for me, her and all  other lovers, your heartless world can never ****** it from me, not till the moment my soul departs my body"

Love has martyrs ready to lay down their lives.
And with that wound to the heart born of cruel enlightenment - I am affected, and afflicted, to find that He has finally decided to love another. Who might She be, so superior to me? How beautiful, Ethereal, Godly must she appear to Him? Whom could never suffice to provide, how lowly then am I? I surmised as engaged that which was nothing but courteous exchange. His pity shed for foolish me, anguished for His affections, I was so simple and narcissistic, to imagine any potential ever living. With that, I am crushed by the weight of a deserved but savage modesty. How insignificant to His life, diminutive, unworthy must I be? The sinister sentiment - that He has chosen not only not me, but She - devours all sureness of self and all of my esteem. Spiteful as I am, I will deny Him tears. I will cease gratifying such an immense ego and perchance depart with some pieces of dignity. It is so hard, despite it so long since His immensity last gratified me. He will never realize the plague on me He's infected, Never witness the wounds on me He's inflicted, Never recognize the hopeful heart He's afflicted. After all this time, perhaps I've accepted that when I come back to You I meet Defeat. This time, instead, perhaps I take what's left of myself and leave. Perhaps, I beg, perhaps... We'll see.

Defeated; Replaced
Your dismal looking is to see me But your frowning look Like a vaulted dome Why it rises up? Deliberately keeps Your lustrous eyes Not to meet mine. Because it carries The untold stories Of inner selfsame hearts. Livid with rage of love Yet a lingering look I surmised that You might have been Wistfully unanswered.

Defeat
I was the queen in quest of your dreaming teens You were in race to trace my grace of beaming beauty Your shower of love was to catch my fragrant flower Life was like amusing laser show for a major glow A fresh breeze of life I felt in your lifelong lease of love Your fast love at first sight was forthright, I saw it so Your love was on a broadband channel, I surmised, On high frequency at matching wave length you promised Love was in fairy air you craved, cared n’ carried thru’ I molded to your mauls, for I rejoiced your choice I was mild and yielding as you stepped up wielding Rendered and surrendered to your shabby game of love You left the fruit of your lust in my lap in a decade’s gap. Embroiled in undue deal, you now embraced Unhealthy wealth than wealthy health Lavish lust, peevish love and selfish life Lo, love is to collate not to collide n’ collapse I feel sad when our lad says my dad is bad My love was one popped up from heart Your love pepped up from crazy corner The kid is keen to pick up your kiss Welcome to hold me to your fold, don’t miss All I need is your towering love Not your quivering ivory tower. All I wish you is not to rewind Your tampered tape on kin akin

Parable of love
So I got caught up in life like so many other stiffs. So I work two jobs. So I'm twenty-three. Halfway dead, quarter-way dead - Percentages and figures surmised by a fictional statistician in some far off laboratory wearing a handsome tweed sweater despite the heat, helping to contain his paunch. So doctors have told me beer will **** me. So they advise that I not indulge in any illegal substances. We do not debate the validity of law. The role of fear in today's culture. Hysteria. So I'm on antidepressants. So I'm a candidate for pharmaceuticals. So I drink when I can, which is just about every day. So I had a problem in the past, so I spent a month locked away. So I'm not taking a class. So I'm just about white. So I share a room with Phil and a house with five other young men. So I had *** with a girl I pretty much just met. So my drugs are right next to my bed. So my urine's ***** So I'm a brother and a son. So I'm my own man.

To be decided
I want to see ol’ Warren’s face When I claim the Billion prize. When my perfect bracket takes the cash, Buffett’s sure to be surprised. The odds were set against me much higher than surmised. Like making sixty free throws in only fifty tries. I’d have a better chance, They said, to date a super model. The sort of girl I never get And google just to ogle. I bet with Buffet’s cash on hand I’ll attract their sighs, Kate and Emmy will cat fight to be first in my eyes.

Frost spoke, of ice, and fire in apocalyptic prose proffering different opinions of the earth’s demise if it be fire, he surmised it was because of the ire of raging hearts and unfulfilled desire not of splitting atoms and infinite fire if it be ice he said that too would suffice for frozen hearts do not feel the pain of millions starving on the blighted plain funny, ice has shrunk since Frost’s time but few would argue we are more sublime for denial and avarice are alive and well and whether fire or ice, it can still be hell

Fire and Ice
Late last night I had a date with Death And she wore a corsage of my last breath Around her wrist and I dressed to impress Half-heartedly desperate to look my best... I wore a sweater-vest With a spoon, I slit my throat And pulled my tongue through the narrow hole I figured I was getting dressed to die So I wore a cuban neck tie I picked her up at eight On the street parallel to the eastern gate Of a golf course adjacent to cemetery trees ... Seemed about right to me. We strolled through the evergreens And a thorny briar of trees Silently chewing on epitaffy I was unsurprised that there was a plot I had not surmised And when we found ourselves raising hell I checked my watch for the time I walked her home along the shores Of a river called Styx With a gondolier called Charon. And despite his non-speaking tone, It was nice. We walked to a house made of brimstone and bricks I found myself standing at Death's door and peered inside expecting fire But instead the fireplace was roasting goat hide I smiled And I leaned in for a kiss Instead of a kiss, all she gave me is... A pat on the shoulder And said we could still be friends After all, we'd be together in The End

An Odd Date With Death
Trees are inevitable, For something must grow higher than the rest. Grass is inevitable too: To carpet the world. So are fish, to swim the seas, Birds to fly the skies And human beings to walk the plains. All Life is inevitable Springing from a chemical formula or two. The Universe has Rules Which make it so. So, is God inevitable? I have to ask. Is there bound to be an Overlord Responsible for All? Or is it all an Accident? Chance Happening? A spin of some Super-Galactic Wheel? It’s Logical to have some Being Who’s Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient – However many Omnis there may be. Or even a Race of Gods As the Greeks and Romans surmised. Some say that We invented God And that is very possible. Some claim there simply is No God, Which is quite possible too. All I know is that I’m here right now, Living in the Hope That somehow I’ll survive My Final Demise A certain thing that is For all Inevitable. Paul Butters
