"teller" poems
Pero hindi, hindi 'iyan ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw ko na. Ayaw ko na kase... Gusto kong maging kaibigan ka pa Ayaw kong dumaan lang sa buhay mo At maging yugto nito Hindi ko gustong maging tayo Sana lang maging magkaibigan lang tayo Yung matagal at walang hiwalayan Ayaw kong mahulog sa'yo Gusto ko lang parating nasa tabi mo Ayaw kong mahulog sa'yo Kasi ayaw kong maghanap pa uli ng tulad mo Ayaw kong magsimula uli sa iba Pero hinahanap ko sakanya ay ikaw parin pala Ayaw kong mahulog sa isang kaibigan Dahil lahat sila, wala nang kabigan Wala nang balikan Kaya ayaw ko Gusto kong magkasama lang tayo Walang kuryente, walang kabog ng dibdib Hindi slow motion o fortune teller Gusto ko magkasama lang tayo Walang tayo pero may pagmamahal Bilang kaibigan, parang magkapatid lang Walang mas malalim pa Walang lalalim pa Kasi kapag gano'n, ayaw ko na Iiwan na kita. Ayaw ko na.

‘We live with forest’ and ‘forest live with us’! Tallest tree of the forest is the symbol of our hope, The Python is our messenger of past, Blossoming flower of grassland are our depiction of smile, Birds are the our fortune teller, Earthworms are our marker, Butterflies are our messenger of worship, We design our life with them, They are our image of clan and family, We can’t live without them, Our aspiration is tuned with their respiration, We are cheerful with them! *** Now, out of the blue, you arrived and say we are poor! So, you will build industry for us and give job to us! But for that, You occupy our land, our forest, our friends and respiration, We never thought! ‘You are such a pitiable’ That you can’t build anything without our forest, But you say, ‘we are poor’! **** Please, go away from our blessed place Don’t wipe out our friend! We are rich and happy with the blessing of our friend There is no need of your industry, Please go away Leave us alone we will design our destination.

Depart and vacate our forest!
We're in hell Can't you tell? No you can't You only listen to the teller All other voices are drowned Because he's a yeller For the useless things we're bound That fill up our cellar And our living room turns into a dying room When the seller is the jailer And salvation comes from tailors Who can cover up the pain inside With all the comfy clothes we buy Money is the blood of our society It's circulation provides oxygen But we spill money into spilling blood And we're funneled into killing love So we can concern ourselves With people not getting things they don't deserve Rather than people getting what they need Our blood starts clotting In the fortunate arteries As the rest of our body goes numb It seeks medicine for healing And drugs become our autoimmune disease Redistributing blood to the suffocated areas An unfortunate recompensing for injustice When the persecutors Become the prosecuted Lives are exploded Like Afghan villages Lives can grow back Like poppy fields That's the score And it makes me want to score Until ****** drips from every pore And ******* fills me to the core I could just live at the liquor store Where benzos are my father And **** my mother So I can ignore the death of my brother My family is in trouble Our society is in rubble

Do not serve me Sh*t pie
On the 15th of May In the French Laund-er-y There was a small man, The Chef De Partie He was mixing and stirring And stirring his sauce, But his sauce wouldn’t thicken He was at a loss So he needed to think and ponder awhile Until on his face Was a bright white smile. “I have it!” He said. “I know what to do All  that I need Is a nice thick roux.” No reductions or tomatoes Or even puree He needed the roux It was the only way So what he did next was truly “the **** He melted some butter And dumped flour in it. This mixture was gloppy And looked like wet sand The roux was ‘a cooking But looked awfully bland Morton must think How to flavor this glob Chef Tomas Keller said “Morton its your job” He thought and he thought “Oh what can I do? Bechamel or Veloute? What to do with this roux.” “Veloute I think Sounds good for today. I’ll make some of that. Chef might exclaim, “yay!” So he added some stock Of Gertrude McFuzz It was the best bird It certainly was Fond Blanc De McFuzz Was clear and not milky Morton’s Veloute Ought to be silky He cooked it awhile Maybe for one half an hour And when it began to bubble The roux showed its power. It thickened and coated The back of a spoon This stuff’s almost ready It should be done soon He strained it removing the floury bits It needed to be clean No clumpys or grits It was almost over It was just about ready It still needed some tweaking “Can’t we eat it already?!” “No” said chef Teller as he took a lick Was it good? Was it bad? Was the sauce too thick “You did a great job! Trust me, you did.” Said Teller to Morton “You did good kid” “One thing I will say That you forgot to put in It’s the most vital ingredient In the entire kitchen” “Its something that most chefs Don’t use a lot of It comes from within The spice of true love” Morton thought a bit Like he often does And then he said “Chef! That’s what it was” “It didn’t taste right It was missing its pop Its pep in its step Its fizzle. Its hop” He learned something there From Chef Thomas Teller Food needs more love It needs to be stellar After all that And in the end Morton threw it away And started again.

Goodbye Tommy
My black hole theory is not profound I just want what is lost to someday be found I have a theory there are many series of black holes somehow linked to the big one They all have there own gravitational pull They seem to have an innate hunger for whatever is shiny or new They seem to **** it in like of vacuum taking it away from me maybe even from you There used to be some sort of portal through my couch , to try to stop it I removed the couch from my house A strange thing happened it is all true, stuff started disappearing from my purse especially anything shiny or new That can be very problematic if you are at the store and reach in your purse to pay the teller and all your change is gone, no more to be seen It made me feel like crying, or maybe scream The logical person that I try to be thought their must be an explanation, so I emptied out the contents of my purse in the stores bathroom, I carefully checked the purse lining for any holes I found no holes and none of my change too, I just had picked up a new roll of quarters from the bank and that was gone too I pondered the situation later that day and thought of my little black hole theory , the little black holes somehow linked to The Big Black Hole and ******* my stuff in, I know I am no scientist, but if someday The Black Hole lost it's gravitational pull, and my stuff and maybe someone else's stuff too started raining down, perhaps my theory will take hold in the scientific community and hold some ground, or maybe Inquiring Minds will want to know of my theory, but most of all what matters to me theory or no theory, I just want my lost stuff to be found

Let us paint our canvasses on WOMEN!! Curious I stand to unravel your perception of a woman Would you weigh her as a piece of wonder or a gruffly aggressive thunder? She is extraordinary, gorgeously efficient, solely independent! The love she embraces is wider than the infinite heaven and deeper than the fathomless sea. The shallow world with its profound hypocrisy, Banters with a judgemental frown. The world has changed, and so has she. It has known the beautiful rose, tarnished by its prickly thorns, Only the delicate rose, the world, with its abysmal critics, abides by to adorn. She knows her paths, truly determined to achieve her goals, Her patience deserves a salute, her tremendous sacrifice only to satisfy our souls. Dare never to shred the lovely red petals, not knowing her darings! For also the thorns in her are perilous, to blemish a wound till your last. With her chin up and a gaze so ferocious, ocean of wisdom she is vast. She rises, she grows, taking a free flight, venturing to claim new heights, She is benevolent, a ray of sanguine sunshine to your forlorn nights. Walking proud, believing in who she is, glimmering like a star! Born strong she is, refuses to be judged by her scars. She is the teller of her tale, over fears and worries she will prevail. A miracle of God, with a sweet lingering fragrance she leaves a trail, Of patience, commitment, empathy, and unfaltering fortitude !! by ~Mihika Rohatgi

To My Teacher
Thorn amongst the weeds As for what was sown among thorns. It wasn’t the pumpkin vines: Little did I know: I watched him daily watering the young plants; Pulling the dried weeds, and adding more manure soil to the garden It took several weeks for me to see a garden full of beautiful pumpkin leaves and flowers Little did I know:  it was more than vines, It came with those neuro-protective qualities, and can also influence pleasure, memory, and thinking: However, what’s is good for the goose not necessary good for the gander. So there I was a little Miss Goosey goosey gander, Whither shall I wander? Upstairs and downstairs Or hide behind the old shed, and indulging in high-caloric treats, Not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted. Nor everyone who writes a piece is a poet, but a good story teller.

There's an architect designing the world from the skyline downwards, as he believes himself to be a God The paraffin lamps on Victorian cobbled corners are as dry as the seraph in dust bowls over some arid sea A portrait exists, of a town covered in mist and the orange cliffs are a thousand bloodied wrists Somewhere music plays to ghosts, obtuse reverberations of some cave on a mountain... or something and what a useless skill it is to be a poet, flouting fanciful words as if a single soul cared or could possibly muster anything more than unadulterated apathy What a lonely life it is, to spend entire days watching *********** and reveling in dissociative stoicism Watching cam girls for hours on end, swept up in conversation yet never taking part, only watching They seem as lonely as anybody, holed up in crimson rooms as anonymous DJs play through laptop speakers Fielding obscene questions with a smile and renting their body in timetables to the highest tipper and some days the depression becomes so heavy that ************ seems impossible, though it's possible to blame such scarcity on the anti-anxiety meds that have ruined so many-a youthful folly Is there a more flattering notion, than a story teller being commended for honesty when every word is a lie Fictional accounts of melancholic lives told in a pulchritudinous verse or a prose of the most regal purples Using nothing more than psycho-stimulants and a smeared bedroom window for inspiration There's a writer sat at a desk, typing ridiculous lines of text, as he knows himself to be human and in that humanity he strives to create a realists interpretation of existence through scattered memories and derivative styles of his favourite authors whilst using educational texts as footnotes in imaginary diaries

The story teller writes For a naked character On a bare stage. The one character, One line play. Profound, all encompassing; A brief run, But a blockbuster With opening nights In all the capital cities. The visualist Could use one brush stroke, One lump of unmolded clay, An unchiseled stone, Weathered driftwood Or a piece of glass To display in the great museums For our interpretation Of the exposed truth. One note could orchestrate On string, wind or skin, And the composition would be complete. The maestro could bow and walk; No encore could repeat. I want one line of verse To embelish my yearnings; To explain the cosmos, The meaning and crux Of this place, Including us.

Listen to me people I'll take you on a journey To places far away Hold on tight and listen From my mind To yours today Places of adventure With people intertwined With stories And great places That come from in my mind some say  I am a prophet I'm a storyteller too Open up your mind to me That's all you have to do I will take you from the present To the past and farther on I am the storyteller Close your eyes, and please hold on Characters of fiction Places that are real Melt them both together Tell me how you feel Mixing words and music In a portrait in your mind Listen to the colours As the words and music bind some say I am a prophet I'm a storyteller too Open up your mind to me That's all you have to do I will take you from the present To the past and farther on I am the storyteller Close your eyes, and please hold on Dance to what you're hearing Relax and float away Listen to the story Your're here, so now let's play Combine the words and pictures With the music and you'll see The storyteller's story And The Story Teller's me some say  I am a prophet I'm a storyteller too Open up your mind to me That's all you have to do I will take you from the present To the past and farther on I am the storyteller Close your eyes, and please hold on

I am The Story Teller
I don't write lyrics, but I do have flow I don't write music, but I do have soul I'm not an artist, but a picture I'll paint   Sistine Chapel leaves you thinking I'm a saint I don't play sports, but I do play minds I'm not a catcher, but I still show signs I'm not a racer, but I still cross lines I'm not a witch, but I'll still cast doom Not the undertaker, but I'll set up your tomb Not a fortune teller, but I can spell your demise I'm not a magician, but I can see your surprise I'm not a gardener, but I can plant you in the ground I'm not a devil, but hellish is my sound   Demons in the room have come to stomp you down I flow freely, 'cuz I'm a bad-ass poet But I'm not all bad. Here, let me show it I can make your heart beat to the sound of my melody   Make you love-sick; I'm sorry, there is no remedy I'm like soldiers in the dirt, always brave I'm strong, and I'm bold, and I'm a slight knave Always protecting innocence with the tip of a glaive *  Now this time I must remember to hit save*

I don't write words, I write weapons
Heart of mine you ache ****** truth-teller be silent. As I lie here alone with my spirit flailing wildly normalcy and whatshouldbe hold a pillow and smother its breath. **** opressors they are everywhere they're in marriage and picketfence but some cellular drive made me leave you for them. I want you so physically and cry out in pain as my heart begs and pleads for the one that it loves. I need you you know me my mirrortwin, completely Never have I been so naked as I am beneath your gaze I look into a liquid reflection that adores me, ether, bone. I have simple words only now they squeeze out of me bloodied bullets I wince as I extract them my gutless runner's high of a promise of security wears off now and I notice and I notice and I notice the pistol lying comfortably in my own hand. Oh! my love! I feel I'm dying. You were beauty...... On the wind now the warm, bitter wind you are gone.

The Frailty Of The Cherry Blossom
There is a period of time Immediately proceeding a conversation you had Where you shared, what you are sure in retrospect, Was too much And when they go its nearly silent Aside from the car engine Your ears are on fire On one hand you’re glad you said it On the other hand You wish to rewind And unsay the things you did. Reverse and greedily fill your arms with all the Pieces of yourself you’d given away freely. They’re yours and they don’t own them. But like a dusty collection of spoons, From all fifty states, You know that you have no use Harboring those thoughts. Maybe they will somehow affect that person And help them when they’re feeling down But you doubt it. They won’t fully understand, Because you’re a bad story teller Who can’t describe the feeling of the sun On the tops of your legs and interpolated Between your toes. And you're selfish and don’t care You feel incomplete now and hope That maybe, just maybe They weren’t even listening to you ramble Or couldn’t understand you Or cast the little wads of memories away Like pencil shavings Which are fun for a little under an hour. And you’ve almost convinced yourself Until you see them, and they see you And open their mouth to say something- And like some horror movie The secrets come swarming.

Indian Giver
I hurt with the pleasure of carving knives plunged into blood-lusting hands. Standing in the storm of stab wounds and searching for Gods dressed in human to give me mental medicine for wounds that they must trust me to see. I am the glass-tongued mediator. I am the vortex that turns worlds to ink-soaked scenery and words to black noise. They gurgle out blandishments like they're true! And to them, I'm a glass door to better days; they put their famished hands onto my handle and tug for good luck. I open and warble out what they want to hear; a fortune teller who cries courtesies and fills her glass ball with a concoction of tears and liquid caution. I don't want to lose them. But I choke on their distorted, glazed looks, I stuff my throat with gauze, my chest fills with blood as they throw their clocks into the garbage and raise me on glass pedestals and drool praises as I cry for me and for them and for us and for- Useless. I am useless. Wasteful. I am wasteful. Broken. I am and should be broken. Did anyone ever realize? How would they when I am so selfishly unselfish?

Everyone dismisses me as insane, But I am a prophet, Profiting, On the inane. When I get lost in stargazing My cup of cardamom chai Configuring constellations of cream, I pocket piping hot horoscopes Right out of the tea kettle. Remember -- I drink in the universe, Sanctimoniously symbiotic. So the next time I offer, To read your tea leaves, Left dried at the bottom of the cup, Don't scoff me off, Because what I do, Is translate the universe's art.

The Frustrated Fortune Teller
They say The saddest heart And the coldest poems Are teller made for the Most written poetry’s ever read So That  had my mind wondered If there was Any poetry for love As There was poetry’s for pain So I had to pretend Or Make believe that The answer is Yes Because in My illusion's My desire's My craving's There is only One song For I am A Happily Ever after Kinda Guy

Sorry, I've been busy
Let's go grab the money Hidden in the Christmas Tree Shoppe mason jar with the Frosted stencil designs, Ornate and resembling flora. Let's take that money, The three separate wadded ***** of once crisp Green pieces of paper That somehow reach the Arbitrary total of one Thousand, three hundred and Twenty dollars and Fifty lonely cents. Let's take that 1,320.50 And go see the desolate Stretch of sprawling Humanity deferred between These hiked peaks and the Dangerous mountains Separating the west From the rest. Let's go there! Let's go there! We'll make it across, Be sure of that, Be sure of nothing But that! Let's use the remaining Seven fifty To buy some Seven Eleven sustenance To have while We walk backwards Down backroads edged With the encroachment Of the wild back into Negative space some Long-ago engineer Carved and paved. Let's tell the driver of This beat-up Time-worn down Overcast grey Buick LeSabre That we can pay her Ten dollars to replace The juice necessary to get Us back to our sick aunt's House in Poughkeepsie. At the gas station We'll tell her to stop Real quick And hope she leaves the Auto to go Pay the schlup at The teller's booth And jack the beater And hope we won't Have to bolt Again if she doesn't. Let's call my cousin And find out who will give Us four hundred dollars for The stolen used parts store And take that four hundred And buy: Two (2) greyhound tickets to get us Back to our ****** apartment In Stamford: 64.50 American Three (3) damp-bunned flimsy Beef patties glued between Pieces of government-issue Yellow American cheese With all the fixins we please: 3.24 American One (1) zip of dried out Seeded and stemmed breaks From the boredom of Our own conscious Processes: 120 American if lucky At least eight (8) servings Of amphetamine based Pressed little buttons Of confused energy: 200 American One (1) bouquet of Red yellow and oranges Mixed on the petals of Your mother's favorite Species: whatever's left American.

Let's call my cousin And find out who will give Us four hundred dollars for The stolen used parts store And take that four hundred And buy: Two (2) greyhound tickets to get us Back to our ****** apartment In Stamford: 64.50 American Three (3) damp-bunned flimsy Beef patties glued between Pieces of government-issue Yellow American cheese With all the fixins we please: 3.24 American One (1) zip of dried out Seeded and stemmed breaks From the boredom of Our own conscious Processes: 120 American if lucky At least eight (8) servings Of amphetamine based Pressed little buttons Of confused energy: 200 American One (1) bouquet of Red yellow and oranges Mixed on the petals of Your mother's favorite Species: whatever's left American.

A fine mixture of smoke and breath escapes my lungs as this letter flows from my pen this evening. "This evening:" What does that even mean? A moment in darkness, shadowed is the life-giver high above us, well, me. Strawberry tobacco smothers my face from hookah pipe, eyes fixed on the lines before me, and I have nothing to say. We have nothing to speak, I assume. I am wordless but maybe in the moment, this evening, you have a tongue of prose and no pen to mouth emotion back, no way of knowing that your time is time is now, and it's my turn to listen. Wait, no no, not emotion. Just "being," ways of being, strewn out like a fortune teller's knucklebones. A lie, the truth, the way that your eyes wander to the door as you lie on the pinstriped couch across living room from me. I see you glancing, I feel your yearning for skies where wings can spread against a star-sun-lit moon and clouds of pink and red, a longing to dive toward god-given green earth, near to here, but so so far. Needing clouds to dream-slumber in, as beads of water mask your body in my mind, mixed with thoughts of pure love and pining for your growth, as dew drops form around my long blond-brown-blue eyelashes. It's all I see, I've seen, that's all I write to you this evening.

Strawberry Tobacco
Pure cane sugartar that sits on teeth, sits on a canine porch swing and swings too far, kicking the enamel siding, wood knots, and greying-thin windows. More exposed than Brad Pitt's marriage or JonBenét Ramsay on the cover of Old World News Daily in the dentist's office. And there we are. We're bleached white and burning beneath paparazzi bulbs and a a ****** case. Brief case money/ two thousand fourteen and it's still relevant, still useful blood money. Novocain lightning flash; burn a tree. Cali home tucked behind parsley palms. Fortune teller, baby, O.J. didn't do it. Not The Juice, not him. The gloves. The gloves. The gloves. Comfort of picket fence rainbrushed paint stripping. Raymour retail of a mocha-cushion couch half-off 'cause the back's spattered with toothpaste and taxpayer juice like Grandma's cancer handbag. Put your feet up, stay a while. Don't leave.
