"tinges" poems
The lower back arches Muscles tangle in with the spine And intertwining curvature sneaks between vertebras Creating a vineyard of sweet spirits That I could drink from the palms of your hands As though the gentle and rough intentions Had forever been engraved in a fate That the universe hadn’t even planned for it Otherwise the circumstances wouldn’t have been And so foolish, I looked onward to the lit pavement Walking between the crowd in hopes that The grasping of my soul would stop from being tortured In ways so tender that I wish I could expand in to the millions of atoms I am Your skin felt like a warm liquid That washed over your bones structure Your eyes, those brown eyes That looked at me with a shine that I wasn’t sure if everyone else could see And the light freckles and tinges of skin tone Pixelated the platform of your body And I, could look at you forever Without even thinking twice about tomorrow

LSD
When we were young we used coloring books, full of black and white outlines just waiting for be made into something beautiful, waiting to be brought to life with colors. When we were young the reaches of colors had no limits, we didn’t stick with what colors we are told were correct. When we were young the princesses could be purple with green hair. When we were young we didn’t know that the world is full of grey area, we didn’t realize that when you mix too many colors together all you get is a terrible shade of brown. When we were young we let our imaginations run wild. We let our colors sparkle in the sun. But, too many years with the sun beating down has faded our colors. Powerful beams slowly bleaching out the colors of joy, and sadness, rage and love. Until all that is left is white with little tinges of what used to be the worlds brightest hues turned grey. We began to listen when we were told that the colors we had chosen were wrong. That a boy’s favorite color couldn’t be pink, that the trees and the grass had to be green, and the ocean was always blue. The most pigmented personalities and the most vibrant people have become pastel, because it is easier to blend in with the crowd than stand out. This world is not how it used to be, all of the color has been drained. But, I think everyone has the potential to be filled with color. Everyone can be a light show at disney or fireworks on the fourth of july, everyone can be an easter egg, or a glow stick. Anyone can be a rainbow, they just have to let their colors be louder than the negativity of this messed up world. So, spread your colors, blind everyone with your light, like that one teacher that doesn’t warn you before they turn on the lights. Play your music too loud, make sure that if they can’t see your colors they can hear them. Write, spill your heart out in words, stain the pages red with passion, or yellow with joy, or black when you are feeling hopeless. Paint this world how you want, Make the trees pink, and the grass blue, And don’t color in the lines, because the most interesting pictures really never do.

Above the forest of the parakeets, A parakeet of parakeets prevails, A pip of life amid a mort of tails. (The rudiments of tropics are around, Aloe of ivory, pear of rusty rind.) His lids are white because his eyes are blind. He is not paradise of parakeets, Of his gold ether, golden alguazil, Except because he broods there and is still. Panache upon panache, his tails deploy Upward and outward, in green-vented forms, His tip a drop of water full of storms. But though the turbulent tinges undulate As his pure intellect applies its laws, He moves not on his coppery, keen claws. He munches a dry shell while he exerts His will, yet never ceases, perfect **** To flare, in the sun-pallor of his rock.

The Bird With The Coppery, Keen Claws
Celia looked at her reflection In the back of the spoon; Her face was blown outward As if captured on some balloon. It almost made her laugh; The memory of it; How she and her sister Sassy Would do that as kids, Before the dark days, Before her death in a bath. That drowning, that sad death. Sassy’s husband had beaten her Black and blue and green And she’d hide herself away So as not to be seen. But she’d seen her, Seen the bruises Like smudged tattoos, The closed eyes, The swollen lips, The hardly able to talk words Pushing through the mouth To say: he says he loves me still. Celia stared at her reflection, The way her own mouth was distorted, Her lips blown up, her eyes enlarged, Out of proportion. She almost laughed, But something about Sassy’s sad death Made her stifle any guffaw That may have broken free From her distorted reflected jaw. There was the time she’d seen her ********** for bed when she stayed Because Sassy’s husband (the weird freak) Was off on business, some big deal, Needing to be pulled off, And she saw the black and blueness With tinges of green Along her naked flesh, The buttocks welted Where he had belted. Sassy had said nothing, Had not noticed Celia looking, Had not thought it unusual To be unclothed as such Away from other’s peering eyes. Now Sassy was dead; Found in the bath; Drugged out, wrists slit, Having drowned recorded. But he had driven her over the edge; He had bullied and beaten Like some spoilt cruel child An unwanted toy. Celia turned the spoon over And put it down. No more desire to laugh, Just fond memories of Sassy Before her death in the bath.

WHAT CELIA SAW IN THE BACK OF A SPOON.
Celia looked at her reflection In the back of the spoon; Her face was blown outward As if captured on some balloon.

Sassy’s husband had beaten her Black and blue and green And she’d hide herself away So as not to be seen.

What's up? Nothing much just a visualized image of a homicide. Sometimes the mind wonders around thinking of someones death. Imagining grey matter splatter across 4 walls, out of the 4 walls of your bedroom. Your pet cat is fine and seems unmoved as it sits grooming. Sometimes this event occurs because hopefully you've fallen onto hard times with **** Other times it's just the usual thing, wrong place wrong time. It's kind of a game of cat and mouse; the only thing Jerry is that my dreams don't come out as a cartoon. Sometimes the process of muscle and bone twinges leave a sweet rhythmatic tune. But the one I like the best is when you pay for your own suicide, it's only worth a dime. The insides pool and leave such provocative tinges. Your new found beauty is the only thing that can make me cringe.

Tinges of Desperation
The trees smile with their sprout of tender leaves and blooming flowers, Eternal nature with its transient expression, Hails spring with joy! Bewildering shades with so many tinges. The land of beauty and greatness Colour of happiness and peace makes people alive to enjoy the spirit. A celebration of colour And An experience of harmony and delight. Gulal of red, green, yellow and countless colour also explains the colourful meaning of life, A day filled with laughter and gaiety, A day to smear our dreams With a splash of vibrant colours The festival of colour brings a spring of unbounded fun and frolic!!

Colours of happiness
I lay still as if I were a breathing corps. My heartbeat reminds me I still live. My mind wanders aimlessly; It drifts in and out of the borders of valid conception, and withers to its content. Am I alive, or waking from a prolonged dream? These thoughts contradict my understanding of this world. They break the grips of my reality, and plunge me into the unknown. Although the notion tinges a world of fear. My perspective shifts; My consciousnesses fades away and is vibrantly replaced by a wave of blissful euphoria. This is a strange existence. Time is irregular; It means nothing here. Days seem like seconds; minutes seem like weeks. O' to what a mishap, a folly happenstance, a fringe to conventionality. To who or what pleasure do I owe? Part of me wishes to leave this place. Albeit a part wishes to remain. I am in love with this realm, yet I know there is somewhere else that I must be. So now I set sail to find the world that I came from; with a pleasant gift from the one I left.                    I look upon an old existence,                                              with new eyes.

With New Eyes
The slightest brush of melancholy tinges the evening: that time of day when ghosts awaken and memories stir; that time of day when thousands of lives lived lean into now. Where are you, bright eyed lover? I need a gentle boost to lift me above this roar of silence, this emptiness that fills the twilight. Come to me. Sing me songs until smiles return and we will smile together.    ~mce

Saudade
Seeds of pure Brahma appear In the dark nothingness. In their infinitesimal Yet infinite dimensions They carry the code for all creation. Some fade away. Some persist. Propelled through will, An urgency to occupy and diffuse. Annihilation or coalition are inevitable. Some acquire magnificent tinges Worthy of acknowledgement. Others marred and maimed Are left to wither in exile. I meditate on the most promising one. Feel its inarticulatable essence As the intangible element Vanquish the void. The One now unfolds. Accreting into thoughts Before passing through The sieve of judgement. These thoughts sublime I crystallize. Choosing at will to blemish them With motley emotions Or monolithic reason. I, The creator, Awestruck by my own creation, The most magnificent in the domain Wherein I reign supreme, Hesitate. I hesitate to articulate. Knowing full well that tongue Will never be able to bear The simple complexity And the complex simplicity Of thought.

April...my early sonnets...leaning on the windowsill as the streets were mad rivers, Mum in bed just behind me--ya, I've long been the nightowl, though how many times I'd hang out with her when I did. (sonnet #MMMMMMCCLXVIII) Ah, silver gloaming whose soft light is thence More yellow than wee baby leaves' detail Of green chartreuse as rain now waltzes, pale Yet with that subtler voice in tow, lawns hence Thick carpets laid out 'gainst grey racks a sense Of pink like fragile mists haunts to avail, These naked boughs in lingerie black's scale Just tinges, April clothed ere nightfall, whence? O me! The blacktop sports thin puddles fer A touch of wet, and Friday's hallowed to Some, good cuz dunno why, as we talk. Were It taxes or the missiles elsewhere, who Shall--what? I listen, laugh, want Andrew, poor As saying is, and recall Mum: all we knew. 14Apr17c

Spells of chieftain splendor Bespeaking of loyal grandeur Now the eye clearly sees without fear At dusk! The ancient kingdom of Assur? A flight in time and space from afar? Was that ingenious creativity of flair? Still bids indubitable eternal mystery! Are clothes on man an anecdote of utter hypocrisy? Is sarcastic humor a precursor of hidden sinister? The animals hereof show their ****** Undertone tinges of impeccant simplicity Stirring poignant Achilles' heel character As an infant suckling the breast of saccharine nature; Lo! And behold… Sage mortals envisage a grotesque quest for a promising stage, Regnant and dignified? The new-age psyches’ beatify and feebly beg "Reform, in fact, is, rather softly, on the win” The lighthouse flashing against the sleet-blurred fig twig As every sacred notion becomes an unwavering origin certain, With no remorse that mankind can now ascertain The bewildering incarnation of science in religion! Like a single lily among lilies in a dark dungeon Great spirits now encounter violent opposition “Un-awakened Children silently screaming with pessimism” Hiding within the smooth sacred mask of personality Yet the fear of “the unknown” silently plays a drowsier symphony Calling back the violent rays to illuminate a peaceable destiny Were illusionary realities conform to the whims of a veiled deity, This goddess! A mystifying inferno doing its own radiance faster What a fuss! So light-footed as love yet so heavy-footed as war As if to justify the whirling gloom of despair Like the bleakness of the morning cuckooing rooster Or the dog which barks at his own image in a pond; “What startling veneration” Mortals without remorse still aspire to find The misplaced diamonds and daffs upon the beamish ground.

On the muted music of the zephyr, the viridescent folks' dance and the fluffs veiled in white, sallow, and orange tinges glide in the mid-air. In this pristine swathe shield by a mysterious guard against intruders, there's no gravity to land from jovial vibrations. © Spriha Kant

Bedevil; No Way Out
once upon a time, you were every story in my head. you were fantasies woven during day and prose written at 3AM. i saw so much poetry in you, in everything you did. that was a sure sign that i felt something for you, that my love ran deeper than plain infatuation and crushing. i wrote about how your smile could light up the darkest of days; my sunshine, my flashlight. i wrote about how beautiful i thought the callouses on your hands were, i wrote about how your flaws were never imperfections to me. i wrote about the lyrics you remind me of. i wrote your name in cursive on the back of my hand along with words of promise and endearment. i scribbled you through the margins of my notebook with poetry and song. but oh, it wasn’t all just fairy dust and wanderlust. my pen bled ugly words, rage and heartbreak and jealousy. prose after prose of how you’d leave me in the rain, how you always made me feel like i was either too much or not enough. they were angry taps to the keyboard. pens tearing in to paper. the horrors of them made e.e cummings turn in his grave, the curses of young love would have made shakespeare proud. you knew about that. you knew about how i meticulously wove words together for you, words that would have made other people fall in love. and not once did you appreciate them; you threw aside my gifts of poetry and prose like they weren’t about you. like they didn’t mean a thing. if you read them, you would’ve seen how much i adored you. if you read them, you would’ve recognized a love so unprecedented, unrivaled, untouchable. but you didn’t. you never got past the first stanza, the first paragraph, the first three words before giving me a half-hearted thanks and changing the topic. and so i started to write about you less. my words began to lose it’s substance, my phrases got shorter, my metaphors making less sense. and you didn’t notice. you never noticed how you slowly faded from the thing the one thing that mattered more to me than anything in the whole world. you faded, then you were gone completely. i no longer write about you. wait, no, that’s a lie: i no longer want to write about you. i hope this is the last time i do, the last set of words i’d dare to pull together for you. you don’t deserve to know how i feel about you, you don’t deserve my poems or my words anymore. god knows my words are all i have, and i can’t love you if you don’t learn to love them. i’m sorry; call it selfish, or unfair. but these words, these words, my words. how can i write about you if you don’t– if you never– valued the best gift i had to offer? you’re now just some left-over papers that i keep under my bed, one day to open and read with tinges of nostalgia, but never to re-write again.

I'm overcome with sadness It's not the biting sadness   The choked sobs that are brought about by the jolt of a sudden death or the fresh sting of a broken relationship It's not the aching sadness   The somber introspection of missed opportunities, of wasted days of long lost loves It's not the oppressive sadness that depression brings, wrapping around your head in suffocating silence that leaves you numb to the world that makes you believe that happiness was only a fairy tale Rather... It's the warm sadness as the tinges of autumn begin to show and you realize that the summer was never meant to last forever It's a familiar sadness as you realize that everyone changes and the person you once were no longer exists, for better or worse It's the sadness that nostalgia tows along with fond memories of summer vacations of drunken antics of foolish lust of fading friendships The sadness that tells you that "Things will never be this way again" But also reminds you that they were never supposed to be    and that's perfectly alright

A Sonnet of Truest Love
I think back to our first moments together. Sneaking eyes under flower crowns and balloons. Looking across crowds of people for you subconsciously, noticing you noticing me noticing you. To look back on that time tinges everything with a vintage haze, like viewing the history before something monumental. Each person holding their breath and each step bringing us closer to everything. I want to go back to the first time I asked myself "what if it's us?"; the first time I truly saw you for everything that you could grow to mean to me.

What if it's us? (6.3.20)
The singing of guitars sends flickering sparks from the ground, like fireflies, dancing with the tinges of sound, a beautiful limitless sky unfolded before us, It could be torn down for them, if they wanted. Introspection brings silence on public transportation, because of independent movie scenes that break the outcasts' form, and so they wear their pea-coats and knit caps, and paint the picture that they're unique, when the individuality of an individual cannot be measured through appearance alone, it is a life-spanning process, in the choices we make, and the promises we break, and the pills that we take, that erase our memories and turn us into marble statues, beautiful husks with nothing really inside. We say that we're profound, and advanced, so we take to the ground without another glance and shake this rock to its core, just to find the meaning, of suburban children, who spend their lives dreaming, to prevent rhyme or reason, cannot be the case, as across any seasons, winds will whip your face, and hold their sting, as if to say, “you are the sum of percentages, dividing the minutes in a day.”, standing on this precipice, can we dare to try, to make real these internal lists, and bring them in contact with eyes? The critic a pauper, The sinner be free, realization of our appetites, limitless.

The Appetites
Arpita ,-The Only one . There is one , Only one Arpita , With ten thousands synonyms , And two Nature’s amplitude , To cover sense of love ,and that of feeling , The widened unconquered , Ripples beyond the horizon , And the frictionless revere , Mingles with the waited time , Lo ! the colossal silence chambers the rime . Hers is the eternal Divine in love , And she tinges the hearts , With the magic fragrance of frenzy , She impels ,she awakens the slumbering soul , There is only one Arpita , that arises and rolls !

i'll be the one fattening the nationalists like they're worthy to inherit the swine skidding kinds of talk of the famous winged Hussar toppling mountain in stone as in grain of sand: avalanche - and akin to a crows' kraken bellowing: gluttonous kra! und tod! schatten överskuggar död: and what yearn be dripped in acknowledged European - loftier thought than done, kindred of what's called the civilised / colonial world - toward the auburn horizontal - and in due bereaving: left undone, and unduly asked for: to be grasped as worshipped, quasi Lutheran, mingling Calvinist and Catholic... but never the love affair of Henry VIII. so much of modern English history is bound to Las Vegas, and so much to the Hajj toward Jerusalem no one cares about... then so few to mind the invasion of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by the Swedes... because this is England, and Cockney speaks, usurper of the royal tongue, due to pride, due to the elephant man, due to jack the ripper and harry the stinker... and the joyous rhapsody coming from the lonely mile in Irish slang; or said: Mamelukes - because the Mongols were at one point defeated - and thus grieved the Baghdad skull with tinges of Hamlet - oh the grand library, what was left of it, could remain enshrined in Texan avoidance - not to be: Chilcot Coke - Cooled Coca and later Koala - Bruise and White - thugs' select - later respect'ah - bony g and later bonbon and much later bony m - and much much later Alfonso Jalfrezi - alias gaga: and all the culinary sagas, the Forsytes of Malta... or the Forsytes of Málaga? i'm sure that question is all about: wherever the peppercorn blows and wherever the sneeze deposits a hunch toward an itchy cartilage - from an itch and a scratch: a butterfly! well, isn't this the most beautiful of all possible worlds... sorta makes you want to get up in the morning and say good-morning to someone.

<> 11:03 Sun Sep 20 2020 2nd Day Rosh Hashana 5781 S.I., N.Y. **when I was twenty years younger, I wrote oft introspectively, nowadays, today, provoked by the High Holy Day, the New Year,** it is my only filter, lens, and this solitary perspective that this moment affords, permits, demands, commands, insists on,   prepared by this confession, so that I may better return to the union of my divine spark, unify body and soul, recover my true self, by acknowledging that I am not beholden to anyone, therefore, thereby, beholden to everyone how inconsistently wonderful that additional experience, alive in a time of upheavals, pushes me past the first stanza, where most often, my poems, prayers, go to rest uneasy, incomplete, only to be buried alive in me. Yet, here I am stuttering, sputtering, words that come unexpectedly! I have reached a second stanza, with the ending well sighted, nearby. The collective, overlaid wake of each passing boat, finger pointing, a road line for following, to a larger directive, a river emptying into a great ocean, birthplace & graveyard premature celebration as it’s weeks till I return to this poem-in-progress on a bleak week, the winterized grays have dominated, the freshness of sunlight is just an occasional peekaboo. The larger directive now suppressed, the pilings of damp brown leaves, multi-message; funeral. mounds of good days gone to hell, the inward perspective has returned me to a deep, dark place. (Stutter, stutter, each day asseverates solemnly with tinges of rancor, no, no, no, still no answers yet, the second and third stanzas are ******** suns of no man.)

Deep blue, deep blue - morning by the ocean - The same ocean as my ancestors, And their ancestors, And their ancestors - The same ocean as the dinosaurs - And so I can't help smiling, Feeling a part of a long long long lineage of ocean dwellers and dreamers - Folks who fell in love with the romantic tinges of Ocean's Eternity - Wrapped up neatly in coming/going tides, In and out, in and out Without ever stopping Because eternity stops for no one - And so I smile, knowing that my body will one day join The millions of my ancestors and their ancestors Deep deep deep in that blue rushing infinity called "sea" - And freedom crashes upon skin Washing away dirt and cleansing the mind for a new day - Part of the old day - Day of the same eternity - And there I smile - In the deep blue, Because there's always more beyond the horizon - Another land, another shore - And I always yearn for more Because the sky is my witness And the ocean is my woman And the three of us melt together into the circus of Life Where we each pretend to be separate for a little while - But in the deep blue silence of night, We secretly whisper our memory of unity Under the safe-hold haven of moonlight and stars, Keeping warm under the blanket of infinite space - And I smile knowing I'm never alone, Even when the tide leaves me To rejoin that deep deep Blue.

Deep Blue, Deep Blue
knocks on your door hey, have you eaten silence answers me empty of feeling i stand for a moment maybe a moment too long strike a match of conversations eye contact too strong he wandered down the hall looks like he’s waiting too my hips on the wall smirk as if he knew what was on my mind look deep inside and would not find for my thoughts were shallow temporary tinges, restraint on the hinges a shuffled playlist on down low can you hear me now?

Trying to fathom the science of colours, the beautiful swarm of shades and tinges: the abyss and the heaven in your eyes.
