"termination" poems
Go on with haste and fly through this undawning memory of love, What is the moon looking up at, perhaps a dance of pulsar stars ? What is the sun looking down at, perhaps the life growing from light? An eternal sinner wanders under their light, with no aim, no goal, All he carries shall be the pride in his heart, with undying love burning as bright as a hyper nova in the nearby young nightsky, Lingering sadness seeps it's way through, to the surface of the moon, forever to be bound in an orbit, overshadowed, shining in lesser light, Yet does it oversee, what beauty it brings to the night, or what it would be if darkness reigned supreme without it and the stars to rise? Enlighting the darkest of nights for us, forgotten it keeps up his duty, For maybe, even if just one is touched by his luminosity it would be enough to keep going, until the time comes to greet the break of dawn The milkyway alike a river of stars, each with their own story to tell, Stars stand with their secret hidden, an orbital parent to many planets The sky is the eternity in a land of pure fantasy and hope after all, A dream which knows no death till its termination draws near, But isn't waking up the commencement of something far greater ? ~ Umi

Lunar Tear
I have a message For you haters You're the wreckage Your words like razors No longer shall I keel To your decimating attitude I have an intransigent zeal Of undeniable magnitude Your reign of terror Now a speck in the past Your puppet strings I sever Now free I feel, at last I dare you, I dare you Try to cut me down But be warned, I will strew Your face all over the ground No longer am i afraid. All the hated, it's time to stand All the haters, it's time to be repaid No more worries, just grains of sand The tides now change Deny them their satisfaction Their power has no range Haters, this is your termination

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life. more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth, From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree,and it does not rest until it has found one. Then singing, among the savage branches, it pales itself upon the sharpest spine. And dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the larkand the nightingale. One superlative song,existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. for the best is only bought at the cost of great pain....Or so says the legend.This resonates deeply within me because being an RHO negativeMother every Gyno MD advised termination of my unborn a malicious prejudice even called me hybrid race! the medical database is WRONG   I SAVED three of my children they were born they live the loves of my life

Lark to Nightingale
No sirens are heard the morning is still, Hope awakens, a vibrant animal It was never dead, only hiding. Modern individuals, can reveal The root of their plight, let old wounds heal Daughters, allowed to make their own decisions, Mothers, remembered for loving care, Fathers, passing wisdom to their children, The hibernation of falsehood. But what of those who never found these things? To them we must give our fullest kindness, We all were children once, and we all deserve love. With forgiveness, justice, and harmony. Let no further judgements be passed, Let lovers rejoice, Let shots ring out in celebration Not as signals of termination. These cycles never end, But what festered yesterday, Today can be healed. Let lovers lie together in bliss, Absorbed in communion of affections, On this day let us heal each other, As we heal our world, One individual at a time.

Healed Individual
after centuries and centuries and centuries of: pain and suffering, chains and ankle cuffing, segregation and impossible laws, human degredation and deaths for the cause, coloured lines and last picks, work in the mines and barbie-like wigs, culture termination and the education of self-hate, fake freedom motivation and penitentiary execution dates, community sabatoge and destruction of black owned schemes, settle down for hip hop dialogue and basketball dreams racial slurs and monkey metaphors, television blurs and the world shutting doors, the white man's drugs and melanin filled prisons, talent that lacks funds and vietnam missions, death of our black icons and imprisonment of mandela death of trayvon and others on the death list which could go on forever... do you have the right to tell "bottom barrels" not to dream to be on the top? do you wonder why forgiveness is slowly yielding in the world, as if it sees a sign that says it's time to stop? do they not say we must practice what we preach? are they not preaching hate? are they not preaching inequality? are they not preaching the false levels of life? is it too hard for the world to practice equality? is it too hard for the world to live in harmony? is it too hard for the world to see the similarities in our differences? is it too hard for the world to live without fear of colours? is it too much to ask for peace??? - t.m

Love 2.0 compliant
This is not poetry This simply spoken on earthen tombs Or was it tomes Or was that tunes If it was then it wasn't Because the past is the future and the present is but a thinned out pancake of a reality Double bongo tulip termination Implied with the finger-ly pleasure Upon my love's blackened buttons Drunkenness sensibility declining reeling sealing the post-operative convolution of Tarzan's missing breath Target, TARGET, (target) Reckless love leapin' side' a train-station tumor

Spartan Nightmare
If the soul is dyed by thoughts, I will rest in my reason. By following my just nature, I will let my desire find its termination. For I am made of the stars. I will let my spirit shine. I am a rising star, not a falling one. I am divine. Nothing outside changes the value of my shining nature. Despite criticism or praise, nothing shall perturb me. My loveliness terminates in itself. My beauty evolves with the seasons. I will love my nature. I will rest in my reason. My flesh desires sugar, but sugar rots the soul. To nurture the character of my mind, I’ll feast on the fruits of wisdom. I’ll feed my soul thoughts ripe in virtue and I’ll let my spirit shine. For tranquility is nothing but a good ordering of the mind. I will not be troubled in any season. When my flesh desires treason, I will rest in my reason.

Rest in Reason
skin a sheen of sweat cries ring out sheets all tangled agony ***** foetid air contract cryout subside a birthing no pink and downy babe is this a mucus clot a jellied mass a river of blood and tears a termination of what wasn't quite a tractor passes feeding out calves for the slaughter the sun shines birds sing all oblivious of anything a death and life goes on

The Cycle: A Sequence of Events
All this criticism, persecution, Hatred, scorn, Thrown towards us, Two women, Two men, Immoral relationship they say, Against God's word, That's not the way He wanted it, But one woman, two men, Two women, one man, Nothing's wrong with that, 16 year old teenage girl sleeping with the married man, Nothing's said about them, And if something's said, it's done in whispers, Rumshop or evening gossip, But me, Harsh words are thrown my way, No one cares about the tears they cause, But when the woman down the road slept with my ex-husband, I deserved it because I did not do enough to keep him, They say, But when I had a one night stand with the woman from the other town, Words were thrown my way, Why? Because when I have *** There's no product formed from the substrate, Or because when two products come together, there's no reaction, Othan than multiple ******* caused by erogenous pleasure, Or because I use toys, And you need none, Or is it because God made Adam and Eve, And destroyed ***** and Gomorrah, But he did not make Adam and Eve and the next door neighbour Steve, And last time I checked he was on the merge of destroying Nineveh. You say we destroy the definition of marriage or family, But the contraceptives you use contribute to Global Warming, Which sounds better? A home started by a relationship like mine, Or an Earth that's on the merge of dying? They say, That relationships like mine add nothing to society, But relationships like yours cause fatherless homes, Contributing to prostitution and gang wars, Or multiple abortions before the age of 25, Talking about my acts of erogenous pleasure causing no reaction, no creation, But relationships like yours cause abortions, Destruction of life, right in the middle of creation, You call it abortion I call it ****** Termination of life, So who's the criminal? But because of the sexuality placed upon me, I'm persecuted, I'm scrutinized, Verbally abused, And people like you are easily accepted, But don't forget, I'm the product of a heterosexual relationship.

The mountains powdered with termination dust hark the end of summer. Soon the clusters of evergreens will be coated in snow, just as they were last winter. The snow falls flake by flake. It's in no rush to hit the ground; it will melt once it does. The fireweed has bloomed - only towering stalks and wilted magenta flowers remain. The same type of peace befalls my quiet life. Slowly, I return to old ways. Like footprints in the snow, the tread of future days looks much like those of the past.

By accepting the terms of this agreement, you represent and warrant that you have the capacity to love. Any similarity to a previous love is circumstantial; this love is not affiliated with other loves. We assume no responsibility for for the shortcomings of prior loves; we do, however, assume all responsibility for any loss, error, or communication failure incurred while in possession of this love. It is, after all, love. Love is available as is; no specific results are promised. If you are at all unhappy, you are encouraged to return love. If you find love to be damaged or defective, well, it's love. Slight imperfections are to be expected, and add to the character of love. Love may occasionally send you poems, letters, or declarations of its continuance. If you wish to opt out of this correspondence, you may cancel your account at any time. The service may be temporarily unavailable from time to time; this may be due to maintenance, or periods of reflection. It in no way implies or forecasts termination of love, unless specifically stated so. By accepting this agreement, you agree not to abuse love by acting in a manner inconsistent with the provisions listed above. (please say yes)

You’re a wolf - A connotation. You’re a breed of imitation. You’re a guise among the sheep. Snagging lambs while they’re asleep. Your smile sings with consonance - but your howls vibrate with dissonance. You’re a liar with eyes of fire - The termination of my desire. You sparked a change in my perception. You were the Alpha of pure deception.

All my life I’ve endured a weight of exclusion never the one who can always the one who can’t never the one with but constant without Standing afar a stranger in a whirl of happening where my would be never could be The birth of desire gifted in grief ability almost visible but before my hands could grasp the thief came to steal crushing me down It’s time to wipe the memory shake my head and say “no” that I will submit and agree to every thought declaring “this is who you are” This is the end of the exclusion road a termination for the could or would no more stranger wishing from afar the negative rejected because in these days I truly can and I know I will Exclusion where are you now? Your mighty weight has been discarded from my fortified bones the embellishment of your name erased from my beautiful skin today my revolution is real

My Revolution
The walls cry-out as they burn. A tumult of roars wreathed in the crackle of blazing matter. Which is louder?   Perspective will tell. The one who assaults, Or the one assaulted? The roar, or the crackle? The giver, or the receiver? Pleasure in two forms, two-faced gratification. One hand for dispensation, One mouth for sublimation. And do we not all sublimate? Base impulses, rank ideas, On the surface, vindicate? The residue of consequence Brusquely scrub and expiate? Perspective will tell. We espy hedonism, unbridled delight, And may envy those who bathe in these muddied pools, Focusing our most ephemeral sense on dazzling cacophony, Ignoring the estranged husband of hedonism, Shunning the divorcée of delight. Which is truly louder?   Perspective will tell. In Oscar Wilde’s Salome the moon is thus described: “She is like a woman who is dead.  She moves very slowly.” Pandemonium in the hall, the howling of wild beasts, But she remains “a woman who is dead,” And “she moves very slowly.” The divorcée of delight, A pitiful coming-down. The remnant of misuse, The scarring of abuse. One reads on a stone: The hardly-lovéd daughter of overuse. And the one who gazes overlong is warned:   “You look at her too much.   It is dangerous to look at people in such fashion. Something terrible may happen.” The walls cry-out as they burn, And they cry in desperation. What we see is conflagration. The light:  A brilliant exultation. The crackle:  A herald of termination. But when ash is blown in silence, It is dangerous to look at what remains: Scar tissue. Slow death. Residue. The head of John. The bones of Salome. Broken glass. Wilted flowers. Cracked foundation on hollow cheeks. Red lips the stain of blood on ivory cloth. Festering flies. The beating of vultures’ wings. The snoring of satiated beasts. The stumbling home. Apologies. Sublimation. Conflation. Expiation. … One’s well-mannered pause until the other’s end, So that the one may pause… And begin again.

To deny entry Is to deny God's theology Based solely on someone's geology And just because they might be!! Why do they  have to plea?? I cannot understand why the debate or why there is a disagree I can see why they would flee So would we !! To live in a war torn nation It's only human to want liberation and some salvation Lots of separation from the fear of termination To deny them entry based on unfair thinking  of affiliation is it's self an abomination Not what I thought we stood for as great a nation They are men, women and children ! Ten thousand of ! Not a billion of ! Where is the love?? From all of ! They are human ! Not kind of ! Not to be disposed of ! REFUGEES Someone that is FORCED to be !!

i. Mine Waling-Waling If mine existence soon doth leaveth; Mine psalm's art left here on Hello Poetry In thine Palm's they shalt speaketh. ii. If this shalt be the ****** Mine rhyme's in thee; Shalt be entwined Into thy mind, I will meeteth thee in heaven's gate nine, the back. iii. If soon shalt be mine termination I'll meeteth thee at the station; Wherein cerulean airmist Shalt maketh me drift, onward ahead. iv. Amongst the living Not dead; I shalt findeth thou If today's mine last breathe somehow, I'll be waiting in a shroud. v. If mine Incarnadine Shalt be spilt as wine; And I hemorrhage from mine brain Just remember queen, eternally, we shalt meet and be one again. ©Brandon nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl Jane nagley/Filipino rose dedication
