"thresh" poems
A Few lines etched where no words give weight. Good riddance say the veterans Of a nation gone sour with grief Like a lemon slice evaporating onto the tongue of the sick. But when the young yearn for White Nights, The old claim they are blinding lights to the cold sugary substance That supplants an easy path. The bullithole rush of renewal and loneliness and progress thwarted and abandoned, Inertia seeping through Into a cold summer's day. Between the cursing slant of sleek paved roadstrips, And the burning briars that thresh the border's haunt, What is picture postcard emerald Is in that same instance soviet architect gray. These are the sleepers bereft of the dream whose twenty-five stories high or ghost estates are domes to cast out the howling banshees, those suffrage of the real to be re-thought as mere props which surround the haloed glowing screen. So sheen the Motherland glows in untarnished eyes Familiar solely with glass behemoths parading with their reflections In grey water-drizzled streets, Only to be replaced by iridescent rainbows that foster a hope. A hope that was packaged and sold two decades back Since it was not worth carrying into the New World. The water-trough falls to where the electric line banishes, connects a spike, "rejuvenate the breakfast table"-some far-off God reports, Hades still waiting, Intel-chip Blue, epiphany at the gates.

Emerald and Scarlet As They Merge Into Grey
Too far away, oh love, I know, To save me from this haunted road, Whose lofty roses break and blow On a night-sky bent with a load Of lights: each solitary rose, Each arc-lamp golden does expose Ghost beyond ghost of a blossom, shows Night blenched with a thousand snows. Of hawthorn and of lilac trees, White lilac; shows discoloured night Dripping with all the golden lees Laburnum gives back to light. And shows the red of hawthorn set On high to the purple heaven of night, Like flags in blenched blood newly wet, Blood shed in the noiseless fight. Of life for love and love for life, Of hunger for a little food, Of kissing, lost for want of a wife Long ago, long ago wooed. . . . . . . Too far away you are, my love, To steady my brain in this phantom show That passes the nightly road above And returns again below. The enormous cliff of horse-chestnut trees Has poised on each of its ledges An ***** small girl looking down at me; White-night-gowned little chits I see, And they peep at me over the edges Of the leaves as though they would leap, should I call Them down to my arms; "But, child, you're too small for me, too small Your little charms." White little sheaves of night-gowned maids, Some other will thresh you out! And I see leaning from the shades A lilac like a lady there, who braids Her white mantilla about Her face, and forward leans to catch the sight Of a man's face, Gracefully sighing through the white Flowery mantilla of lace. And another lilac in purple veiled Discreetly, all recklessly calls In a low, shocking perfume, to know who has hailed Her forth from the night: my strength has failed In her voice, my weak heart falls: Oh, and see the laburnum shimmering Her draperies down, As if she would slip the gold, and glimmering White, stand naked of gown. . . . . . . The pageant of flowery trees above The street pale-passionate goes, And back again down the pavement, Love In a lesser pageant flows. Two and two are the folk that walk, They pass in a half embrace Of linked bodies, and they talk With dark face leaning to face. Come then, my love, come as you will Along this haunted road, Be whom you will, my darling, I shall Keep with you the troth I trowed.

The trees are coming into leaf Like something almost being said; The recent buds relax and spread, Their greenness is a kind of grief. Is it that they are born again And we grow old? No, they die too. Their yearly trick of looking new Is written down in rings of grain. Yet still the unresting castles thresh In fullgrown thickness every May. Last year is dead, they seem to say, Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

The Trees
This is the weather the cuckoo likes, And so do I; When showers betumble the chestnut spikes, And nestlings fly; And the little brown nightingale bills his best, And they sit outside at ‘The Traveller’s Rest,’ And maids come forth sprig-muslin drest, And citizens dream of the south and west, And so do I. This is the weather the shepherd shuns, And so do I; When beeches drip in browns and duns, And thresh and ply; And hill-hid tides throb, throe on throe, And meadow rivulets overflow, And drops on gate bars hang in a row, And rooks in families homeward go, And so do I.

Weathers
He catches me in lovin-- *liking him* and it's always striking how my body acts on whim. He always looks the best not wearing any clothes, makes my ***** point west with their ***** woes. He makes me think in lovely and dresses me in kisses: purple, black, red and bruised up kisses (he never misses). I have a necklace ringing all around my skinny neck, I wear his love like a trophy, do I look a-wreck? I make him wreck my body night after night after night because I want his gaudy, pale and beautiful might to come down all at once and bury me in flesh; to fill my ears with grunts and turn my soil threshed. Thresh me, thresh me hard, my beautiful man, my body's prettier marred with your harmattan breezes blowing on my sands; how I really, really, really like my man because he buries me in hugging and hides me in his warmth; he always has me shrugging the yeses from up north in the epicenter of all pleasure rooted in my mind; it's the greatest measure of our loving time. He spanks me 'til I moan, I **** him 'til he's dry, his touch turns me to stone and his stroking makes me cry. Though it may be sore after a day or so my heart is always hurting from the constant flow of his body's beautiful fluids, white and clear and true; who needs a beautiful blue when I have my like, my really, really, really like; it's better than number two. (I really, really, really like you)

He catches me in loving
From my rotting body, flowers will grow, and I will finally be beautiful. The marigolds that will bloom will not flee and vanish from the glow of the sun They will aspire and capture its power, ever basking in its majesty unlike all that I have done For they are enduring and evergreen, quite a contradiction to someone always on the run Helianthus will burgeon from my corpse in the Autumn, cordial, acquiescent and jolly Luminous hues of gold, superiority in the form of a blooming seedling, free of worldly folly Irresistible to butterflies and feathered creatures, who shall evermore adore the perennial dolly Snowdrops with delicate pedicels will pepper the frost polishing over my long corroded flesh, An impeccable ability to synthesize with the world effortlessly, so that I may at last mesh Nevermore will I acquiesce to let the world negligently toss me about, instead the world will thresh Irises in the spring will be next to transcend, ripe with nonconformity rooting from their eccentric peridot petals For the world encompassing them may be wrapped in blissful ignorance, but  they will forever hesitate to settle They realize that life is for naught, putrescence is inevitable, so why even make a vain attempt to mettle As sure as the sun will ascend, the summer will materialize, and the sun's glimmer will rage from dusk until dawn For the world will strive on, long after I am gone, and my effulgence on the Earth is perpetually withdrawn I am not fearful of death because in death there is ignorance and blissful uncertainty From my rotting body, flowers will grow, and I am in them and that is eternity.

Washed up on the sandy beach amidst the summer rain, The mighty king of the Pacific lay in persecuting pain. The creature wailed with ***** prowess, but his health was soon to wane, And by the morning that came after, sovereign was reduced to stain. Vultures from the distance ripped apart his tender flesh With spit to sear his wounded majesty and claws to tear and thresh. The wicked gang of savage butchers in a loathsome, boorish mesh Would make a swollen, seething carcass of our one-time Venkatesh. Three days after passing, fallen Caesar, set to rise, Was then revoked his Heaven’s passage, and left wallowed in demise: A body plagued by every virus; swarmed by avaricious flies, Stranded, rotting, in the Earth realm, ‘stead of claiming his due prize. Hurricanes, October, brought the wrath of Davy Jones To wreak an evil-minded havoc and to thrive on victim moans, And dash the Herculean skeleton upon the crags and stones To rain on thousands with the splinters of his elephantine bones.

Immaculate Separation
my mind frays in poisson distribution. small remnants of your heat invade my chest like shrapnel. the moths lose constellations to buzzing lamps that light our careful rest. we cup our heat in folds of fragile flesh the way the oysters do––these streets are queer, don’t bear our weight correctly.  pavements thresh small bones out from our soles. they **** ants here–– the sacrifice of insects builds our nest. air mixes carefully, distended by the probability of night. the breaths are small and incendiary, but dawn means i’ll grow tall and be again human and able to understand pain.

let me tell you something about regret let me tell you something about being saturated with your thoughts, about being completely above your thresh hold of absorption and trying to desperately figure out how you can get out of it it's a delicate game between i hope he gets it and he never does, a fine line between texting him at 1am trying to apologize for what you've been doing wrong and realizing he's just a boy and he can't handle that we cling unflinchingly to the memories of our past until eventually we are tunnel visioned by them, unable to move forward because they are the quicksand in our mind forcing us to stay and let me tell you about trying to do texts at midnight drunk on the absence of sleep telling them that they surely understand, trying to get closure to the fact that no you are not the only one who feels like this, he feels it too, but it will always be about someone else   and i could give you countless essays on replaying images of their tears, on wishing that you were never in a ******* hotel corridor spilling your heart out to stain your dress with red memories, red red dark red memories that will always stay there or the time, perhaps, when you were not freezing because he was there next to you to heat you, because the sound that escaped his speakers were melodies that comforted the both of you through the tidal waves of something larger than you and something able to engulf you with a single blow but let me tell you how it all ends, how you think you can never go back to the feeling of mistakes when you aren't making any, when you're stuck alone in this big world without talking to anyone because it only causes trouble doesn't it? but it always swings back around and there isn't a cure for it i could write a million and one essays explaining how i have felt the past two years of my life, how from the moment my thighs were frailer than my wrists to the moment i couldn't fit back into my favourite pair of pants, from the time i first saw all of their brown eyes to the time i last saw them, from the awkward moments in the hall that are filled with void and anger and tension to the moments when i would beg to see them again for just a little bit more, but i have realized that i can never make you get it the only way to get it is to experience it, and for those of you who understand what i'm talking about, try to get some sleep tonight, try to keep the memories out of your dreams

With you I'm at a lack of words but I'll do my best.  Good thing we agree on emotions to fill the rest.  I feel blessed to have been able to meet you And only you have had the effect on me that you do Everything you do and say, we seem to blend It's weird to say, but I could get used to this trend You deny it all day long You're gorgeous, you and that fact need to get along I love how your smile lights up your face And only can make my heart race I can't express the way you feel And the way you make my heart flutter, it's the real deal But not necessarily in the way you think Your mind will be in a roller rink Round and round in circles I don't want to hear talk of ridicules You make me happy like I can't explain Like aerodynamics lift an aero plane  I feel like myself once again Like how my skin feels when it's hit by rain It's refreshing like the quench of a thirst  But there is one thing I must say first You are something special So amazing it's meeting my thresh hold You make me want more, bring me to beg for a kiss I'd drop to my knees for such bliss The way you look in my eyes Brings me up more than any of my highs The connection we share The way you care I'm blown away And here I lay Wondering what you're thinking Trying to be smooth with winkings  I can't believe how hard I try to impress you The feel of your lips and my urging, it's true I can't help but think about it I don't need mapquest to map it I know what I'd have to do But it makes me pause, is this the same feeling by you I really don't know how to bring this to an end But it's something I want to explore to no end What fate has for us in store I have no idea, just know I want more

"Were it not for imagination, Sir, a man would be as happy in the arms of a Chambermaid as of a Duchess." -- Dr. Johnson And what of angels, that dream? The young face reflected on the stream, More reflection than its living flesh? From what field does inwadness thresh Acceptance and vision enough To know the desolateness of love?

A Note on Self-Delusion
A dirtless ditch, you tongue the plains and stretch numb arms in sleeves of ink. Eroding stone and carmine vines   claw into shoulders and dry eyes. Please heed my words escape artist. I would not lie on withered leaves. With rope and wall you cannot climb so high to fall and deaden nerves. Hands tingle now, needles alive like clouds and slate that built the skies. Throat thresh and whine at coal-charred mouth while legs do shine angelic fright. Wolves prowl the grounds to kiss the cheeks of those they yearn to eat but twice. A need for none is apex sin that Love does not, with ease, forgive. Look up to sky with smirk alight, and stretch your arms so wide. A stray dog's brow shows only strength. There is much hope for you.

With Hands That Built the Skies
I awaken in a frozen forest The frost grips my lungs with icy claws My face is numb and yet I can feel it burn Snow covers my skin like a gown As I sift through the permeating fog A chilling veil of foreboding demise The oak and ash trees stand like pillars A silent kingdom encased underneath aeons of time I turn my eyes to the sky; greeted by the deepest grey The snow falls gently to the ground Covering all these graves and where they lay Stumbling forth through the brush The wind howls among the boughs And there stood the palace A structure made from the strongest oak Engraved with the runes of the gods The doors appear as mirrors but ripple with touch From within the fire burns bright Lingering ash fills my senses; attracted to the warmth Passed the thresh-hold I move And everything disappears A lady in white stands before me now Veiled with what could only be death itself And from her lips mists the very essence of despair These are her haunted woods All around, are reflective crimson pools Steaming against the bite of the wind Pools of death, pools of men who came before me She constructs me a tower to the heavens And instructs me to stay forever I will do so, without hesitation Compelled by the raging fire in her eyes So, from my frozen tower I watch The embers paint the blackened skies An eerie shade of amber, permeated with smoke The forest is burning The fire in her eyes was released From on high, I watch her **** herself Burning alive, a victim of her own passion I clutch my chest and find a hole Dry and empty, just a grotesque cavity She stole my heart in my sleep And it lit the fire that destroyed this beautiful place Now a sanctuary of death In my tower I'll sit forever Writhing in endless pain I killed her with my heart I killed the lady veiled with ice I killed the only good to come from my conscious mind

I awaken in a frozen forest The frost grips my lungs with icy claws My face is numb and yet I can feel it burn Snow covers my skin like a gown As I sift through the permeating fog A chilling veil of foreboding demise The oak and ash trees stand like pillars A silent kingdom encased underneath aeons of time I turn my eyes to the sky; greeted by the deepest grey The snow falls gently to the ground Covering all these graves and where they lay Stumbling forth through the brush The wind howls among the boughs And there stood the palace A structure made from the strongest oak Engraved with the runes of the gods The doors appear as mirrors but ripple with touch From within the fire burns bright Lingering ash fills my senses; attracted to the warmth Passed the thresh-hold I move And everything disappears A lady in white stands before me now Veiled with what could only be death itself And from her lips mists the very essence of despair These are her haunted woods All around, are reflective crimson pools Steaming against the bite of the wind Pools of death, pools of men who came before me She constructs me a tower to the heavens And instructs me to stay forever I will do so, without hesitation Compelled by the raging fire in her eyes So, from my frozen tower I watch The embers paint the blackened skies An eerie shade of amber, permeated with smoke The forest is burning The fire in her eyes was released From on high, I watch her **** herself Burning alive, a victim of her own passion I clutch my chest and find a hole Dry and empty, just a grotesque cavity She stole my heart in my sleep And it lit the fire that destroyed this beautiful place Now a sanctuary of death In my tower I'll sit forever Writhing in endless pain I killed her with my heart I killed the lady veiled with ice I killed the only good to come from my conscious mind

I'm not going down without a fight. I'm ready for War. This battle-zone is afire. My plane isn't going down with both wings ripped apart. Blood on my face, water flow on a short night. I'm not falling in battle with this purple heart. The stray shells and the firing lines, lock and load, no man left behind. When push comes to shove, and you look in the other man's eyes, all you will see is yourself, so do you want to live and let him die? When the muzzle leads to the shovel, who will bury the last? Bleached bones, blackened skin, torn flesh among the rubble. It means nothing to me... Flag half mast. Watching my friends die can't cause me pain anymore. I can't let them recover while the enemy is reloading on the other shore. Nothing means anything like it did before. A race to the finish where both sides lost. If we never fought, we wouldn't have to win a war. The deafening sound of exploding cores falling from the sky, I screamed for no more. I lived while I watched the whole world die... When the devastation is over, turn the sword into a scythe. Let children reap and thresh a fresh new world. It will only begin though when I die. And only if they try.

Swords to Scythes
Catching semiotic holdings from a cow-licked brain **** Matching periodic scoldings, from a plough of picked-plain art Filled prescription left for digestive tracts dissolution Milled conscription cleft as congestive cracks merge in illusion Temporal reconstruction, as the Adderall seeps into place Federal distribution, as the admiral heaps the case Welled as the spineless listen to a cautionary thought Held as a timeless vision of a stationary plot Pillbox running on fumes, causing fresh hysteria to solidify Paradox coming, dawn looms, pausing thresh, staging an area to demystify Later, new levy forbids pawing fear, spoken rotten, a deloused baiting sound Cater to heavy lids, drawing near the cotton housed waiting ground

Mistress of the cliffs With eyes like lighting And the rolling thunderous waves crashing down Just beneath her fingertips She is Demelza The Goddess of solidarity and steadfastness The epitome of emphasis And the truth behind every last belmaidens wish Which is of course… To return to the fields of idleness Of former youth To thresh the wheat and kick the chaff And to walk the surface of the earth With a joy forgetting the hardships And the toils of the fast And so each day She trudges her way Though the dark and dull abyss Until she reaches her new task And sets herself to another height For she was born to be mistress of the cliffs

Demelza
as i thresh and winnow, the words of my heart; anger and scorn, become chaff set upon the blustering winds. and love remains, golden seeds left, to nourish and grow crops of life, love and laughter.
