"tussles" poems
That genuine smile of yours delicate and mild,
Can soothe senses and tempers gone wild.
A raging storm with ease you can calm,
That smile of yours is ever so warm.
It takes you only a few seconds to flex those ****** muscles,
To brighten the days of millions amongst all the hustle, bustle and tussles.
Your smile is so priceless and pure,
For it all pain one can endure.
It’s like the rays from a billion suns shining bright,
Dazzling and sparkling like the brightest light.
It gives that extra glow to your face,
Making everyone’s heart beat race.
It’s like the most pricey jewel one could admire,
Among millions it could spark a burning desire.
Every smile you pass is like a treasure,
Making the few lucky, millionaires for sure.
But when you frown in the saddest of ways,
It’s like the happiness in the world has gone out of gaze.
Dark clouds fill the overhead sky,
Rain starts pouring as the heavens begin to cry.
It’s like the world hits a note so low,
Their happiness takes that heavy blow.
An empty feeling fills the hearts of those,
Who once with your smile happily would rose.
So smile because the world smiles with you,
Cry and the world sobs with you too.
Times may get you down in life,
But don't give up the strife.
Don't let those pearls from your eyes fall,
For someone or something who wasn't worth it after all.
So keep smiling day in and day out,
And brighten the lives of those you move about...

It is not me
I am not bad
These misconceptions
Make me mad
The media frenzy
Blame the breed
The Staffy curse
Is sad to read
They don’t report
The positive things
The love we give
The joy we bring
We might be strong
And made of muscles
But we love our hugs
And playful tussles
We are devoted
With massive hearts
We run away form
Our smelly farts
If you know
A Staffy well
You’ll understand
My need to tell
We are not monsters
We are not evil
We are not savage
Or dogs of the devil
We are quite simply
Man’s best friend
Loyal and true
Right till the end

Shimmering sudden sanctioning
Surfaces right in front of me
Twisting tomorrow’s tongue-tied testimony
Leaving my heart soaked in surrender
Colossal comb tethering in the hair of my offender
I wallowed in things to come while my whole life was spinning undone
Soothe thyself day to day so I won’t fade away
Internal clock knocks on my heartthrob
I am slipping into each moment
Oh I won’t hold it
I let go and slowly slip, swallowing every drip
This is just the tip of all there is
Reawaken each moment in this
Love lapses through me and I collapse into infinity
Struck by my own understanding
Preparing for divinity’s landing
I fall for it again and again
My dreams melting madness motion me onward
Tangible tussles through thick throats turning toward tomorrow
Sorrow leaks and seeps into the eyes of the blind
While they wait in their own mind
Suckling savage frolics as mankind slips into grayness
And blue lips use so much to say so little
Breaking our fiddle over our knees
Longing for hope hitched pleads
As our craze bleeds onto eternity, spun up into me
Creeping carefully so as not to spill this drill yet again
Letting it crack through the incomplete
Flushes back into the see
Finally, once again we arrive and float away with the breeze

Harmonica and strums sail my shores
Tell my whole clan sonny, he ain't good
That I met a troller under a sycamore
He passed me all the love as he veiled
We walked around,camouflaged by leaves
Tell mummy he was a preacher's son
A soul that was open and hid it's stick
Unharmonised in accapellas I drowned
Swingers of melodic stormy strings
Tell sassy to keep her tassels tucked
To calm her tussles and noisy gongs
Shake on the octave of the beats
Whisked dreams of the lost yesterdays
Tell Jimmy to listen to her heart raise
Tie her down, bring her back home
Liberate and let her fly like a wild bird

*Mystical Goddess of Night times
Queen of the caliphets
Daughters of the Caribean blue
As days did mark quarters
As lilies did spark waters
As rain lit the hydrosphere
And green fit the atmosphere
As oceans falls beckoned on MĔ*
And open floors endowed the ŚĔÁŚ
*And the moon thrilled a beguiling dark
And the beam filled a bewildering black
I call on the gods beneath the seas
Heed me to a wavering ŦÁĹĹ*
*Mystical daughters of the hereafter
I become the waters that flow endless
I become the rain that melts the patch
I become the tussles of a million ŴÁŤĔŔ*
*I swivel and swim through an unseen world
And when darkness falls,
I stand
I watch
From a scoring cosmos above
I render the sea blue
Glowing from an encapsulated moon
Tearing all obstacles
I am Luna
Queen of the Moon
I bewitch the night with my mesmerizing glow
And when time flips away,*

Last night I had an unusual dream,
But not the type that would make you scream.
I dreamt I was eaten by a large dog beast,
It must have thought me part of a feast.
From inside its mouth I had a friend on my shoulder
He was clever and helpful, and I felt bolder.
He told me to avoid the sphincter muscles,
Should I wish to emerge with minimum tussles.
Instruction said that the safest way through
Was to be forced out while inside a pooh.
After kicking my way out of the crusty ****
I woke up and thought that was ****** absurd.

What does wind think of the encampment on North 7th
as it moves under the overpass, the bright blue nylon riffling,
work shirts on a rope, the entry flap breathing,
an old man’s head bent over a chessboard, a rook tipping over?
What does wind know? Easy to say: nothing,
to say it knows nothing sweeping the day’s trash
down the avenue. The crawl says: fires in the West;
men with AR-15s; a mother and child face-down in the river;
children in cages; the rise of this, the fall of that.
We say the wind knows nothing as it drives fire like a blowtorch
across the land. We blame the grid, the lineman, the line,
though we know better. We say the rain inside the wind
knows nothing, as mud swallows houses, houses fall to sea,
floods push through cities, the ocean takes back land.
We say wind and rain know nothing. We say there’s nothing
to do. The wind passes through us and goes on.
A gust pushes in. A tarp snaps. A rook tips.
The old man uprights it, and waits for the next turn.

Blood stains have dried,
Battlefield gone silent.
A war has waged,
The peaceful turned violent.
Weapons used and abused,
They litter the ground,
The bodies removed,
Leaving only empty sounds.
A winner. A winner?
Who can win such games?
The blood pain poured out,
Tribute to misguided aims.
The winner lies in who lives,
Who manages to survive.
He that learns to love the war,
Lies on the winning side.
This war was not ordinary,
No quibbling little parts.
This was war of the worst,
That of two bitter hearts.
The battlefield, now in ruin,
Was not always so.
Once it was a field of beauty,
Where life and love did grow.
Slowly, slowly, over time,
The field began to die.
The caring became careless,
Battle beginning with a lie.
Skirmishes and little tussles,
First seemed so ordinary.
But each ended without resolve,
Leaving both sides wary.
Then finally a skirmish broke,
Into what both had feared.
It seemed then the war begun,
The ending quickly neared.
Full fledged attacks, raining down,
Left wounds open and bleeding.
Pain and hatred flowed together,
To watch the love receding.
Tirelessly both sides battled,
Seeming doomed to contend.
Until the day the black notes played,
And one side saw an end.
He saw that she now loved the pain,
Got high on each ****** drop.
He knew that to continue was loss,
That it all must come to stop.
He won the war by losing,
By losing the last of his heart.
He crawled away, clutching scars,
Knowing he must depart.
A winner, winner? Yes indeed,
It is he who can survive.
She lost herself to the blood lust,
And he scarcely saved his life.
I was he who crawled away,
I lost my heart by choosing.
Though scars still remain,
I won the war by losing.

*she's thunderstorms.
she's asphodel meadows.
I fall outside of her
into the suburbs of askew,
where she hides behind
happy occident, where she
lives with the afterlife of a man,
but is in love with a scientist.
a jaded thing, she likes
to drop anvils on her
husband's head and blame
her fragile scaffolding,
she wears the wreckage
on her face, it's far easier
than admit her own fallacies.
before the children came along
she was able to pour some
of her own frustrations
into these knotty tussles.
now the midwives have left.
now misadventures in her
own backyard commence.
no hiding place down
the front of her,
the remaining secrets
come from underneath.
but if you trust her
and go along, she knows exactly
where to lay her hands.*

I want to be alone,
I want every park bench to be empty and cold. I want to sit on the sturdiness of loneliness and feel the harshness of success. You don’t know me. No one does. I want to travel this city barefoot to feel every struggle and perseverance slip between my toes. I hate my feet. I want to hear the screams of frustrated men and women creeping through the alley. I pray for silence. I want to feel the wholeness within me spring up with longevity and curiosity. I love to cry. I want you to be here with me holding my trembling hands. I crave to be alone. I dream of a world that I own that consist of just me, I want to run wild and free, while the wind tussles my hair with no mercy. I miss you. I want to remember no one, not even me so that way I can roam in this world with no attachments not even to my pride or standards. Don’t forget me. I want to hear the echoes of the moon whispering to the ****** on the dampened slick grass. I wait for morning. I want to sink my teeth into the tears of the earth, letting it fill the gaps as I slush around the meek but salty taste to feel alive. I have always needed braces. I long for the arrogance of man to cease to exist. I long for their stupidity. I see you standing there in the middle of my paradise, I see the sun falling down on your shoulders, I see the woman behind you and the crowd of people with her. I see them not knowing who I am and I see there blankness stare of “care”. I see their smiles inviting me in with yours as it starts to drizzle dreams, gliding down everyone’s pulsating hearts. I walk to you. I want to be alone.

The sun peeps as it fades
still my heart smiles for you
It pounces as the wine pours
Hardly does reality feel me
Neither see me beyond the miles
Colour me red and kiss my passion
Carry my stilettos as they weigh me down
Touch the sensual edges of my feet
The bareness and the harness of my balance
My eyes lids glare with the mascara
My eyes stares with the boldness
The paste of rouge lipstick smiles in motions
The fuchsia silky gown is soft and sleek
Awaiting for your breath to sweep it away
The ****** tassel on the peak of lingerie
Tussles and whistles as they pick in dreams
Turn your head around from afar
See the best of our times and years to come
Never to wear out or ever tear apart
Never to get angry but to hold on forever
Never to be jealous but have a zeal of life

Curiosity perhaps killed many a cat
For a cat it is an inquisitive brat
It could rummage through anything even your ******* trash
Tabby may spring on dinner table and cutlery may crash
Famous might be a cat for those famed nine lives
but not much help is that if in every danger it dives!
Its feline curiosity to crash-land it in trouble
for it tends to explore every kind of rubble.
The catty **** likes a fight and a wild-goose-chase.
Forever looking forward to amuse and amaze?
In a cat basket he's likely to be struck with ennui
Perhaps his caretaker thought only of his fengshui?
His meowing and hissing resonates in the valley
as he tussles with many rival cats in the alley
Mr. Tom cat thinks most females are saucy
but with them he acts in a way quite bossy
Wild and rough, with macho feral pride
I watch you tease and taunt in your typical stride.
No way is he kitty soft paws
Mr. Tomcat sure has the sharpest claws.
Tomcat ate the fishy leftover pudding & fish pie
and kissed the feline females and made them cry.
But my fav is my own cutie darling so soft
even if she may raid the larder and loft that's aloft .

Sitting, waiting, contemplating…
Is it time?
I watch the waves roll up as they kiss the sand.
A sizzle escapes into the air.
The hot, scorching fire put out
Hushed, quieted.
I’m dying…
The clouds float in the water, the sky
The gulls swim, fly
My skin is pink, my energy drained
The sun greedy, taking, stealing away
I’m dying...
I resign, no hope, gone. It’s gone.
I walk ankle-deep
The waves grab at my legs, tugging
“Come” the waves call “Come” they whisper
So seductive, tempting, easy
Knee-deep the wind rushes around me, tussles my hair
The water, cold, numbing, driving my senses
I’m dying…
It pulls, tugs, pushes up to my thighs, my waist
The cold, I **** in a breath, calm
Calming, the rocking, the swaying
I hear the whispers. The wind calls. It beckons. It’s hungry.
“Let go”
I’m dying…
It’s easy. I float, I surrender
The waves sweep me away, buoying me up
I feel light, weightless. It’s so simple.
Beautiful, the waves reach over me, embrace me
The cold is gone, no the heat rushes in, burns
But only for a moment
The dark comes, consumes, soothes
Nothing more, never more…
Finished.

Vladimir whispers comfort to me:
*Holly
Holly
Holly
Holly
you should shed your scalesss
on some cheap trolley railssss
Just go, take your passport!
Hold me 'round your neck for sport.*
Smouldered by a motley
Who ****** up my good wing
Denying me proxy
Intaking the most vital thing
The wind is my only real motivation
Inciting a remedy verse
It feels like the strangest locomotive sensation
You find me livid and ready to burst
I notice the finality of some tension approaches
Wait! do you feel the need to breathe?
Are we all indebted to these crimson coaches
While god pushes the sky down on you and me?
I want to wait out their tussles and be grateful
But I pay Her in ****** taxes
I want to dry out my muscles and be helpful
But I'm stuck on a flooded axis
Dreaming of San Juan
Where I tracked predator dung
The search goes on
Where we lost one failing lung
Lead me to the classroom globe
Let me decide when to Disapparate
Give me mother's recipe for a ribosome
I'm sure my trash will eventually dissipate
Erasing
A swing
Defacing
Her ring

I love the wind,
Before an evening summer storm
The way it tussles my hair
And swarms around me
The cricket's peaceful warning call
The breath of the sky against my skin
Akin to a feeling of serenity
And walking in the cool night air
Cares slide from my shoulders
Floating to the ground
As this wind before the storm
Swirls and surrounds.

Blinded by fake-ups and look-sees
Brainwashed by surgeries and fakeries
Withheld by ridiculous ideals
Restrictions aided by societal feels
To them she was an outcast
But she was my Aphrodite
They could jest all they wanted
But I was taking home this deity
To remove all the tussles
Seive out the floccs
Solve all the puzzles
Open my Pandora's box
Whatever I found I wouldn't fright
Rather I think I'd take delight
Take me oh seductress to your chamber
Of your soul I'd love to be a member
Where they saw flaws I saw beauty
I saw angels doing their duty
They thought what I saw microscopic
I thought their primitive minds myopic
This strange creature unlike any I'd seen
Had pulled my heart and tugged at the seam
As she tore it open all I could find
Was I was a goner and I didn't mind
Her beauty had left me mindless
My entire being insentient
I could all but do her bidding
To this I was very willing

I'm so done
no, I won't run
anymore with no lungs
I am no one
this artist is heartless
I stab sheets for catharsis
bleed pens by the cartridge
I've used stars for targets
my soul's drained
I have no brain
I only know shame,
pain, strain and cold rain
the invisible man
with no frame
I have no name;
that's my code name
my life's full of remarkable struggles
impossible tussles
quarrels and scuffles
leaving only fossils of knuckles
I have no will
no thrill
no feel
but still never no chill
because I wallow inside
swallowing pride
drowning
drowning.

Like the Ocean's Tide
The roller-coaster ride of life
A bitter pill to swallow
when you know too much
When you feel too much
When you Love
.........too much
When you care too much,
you get hurt too much
Vast the Ocean, Deep and Dark
It's mysteries so beguiling
As if the fates have conspired
To a wailing call of the sirens
The evoking chants of the night's air
The eerie howls of the dark wolves
Like the ocean's unending seasons,
So is life's endless tussles
Boundless the ocean's depths
Far and wide
Boundless the ocean far and near....
And blue the waters, blue as tears.

She’s a cunning fool
Beautiful like tiny droplets falling
Landing gracefully on brittle blood orange leaves
Dancing in between the cracks of new and old
Weathered, she is strong
Growing from the branches of inevitable
Predictable as a full grown tree with disfigured twigs
We really don’t know her, we are naive
The ground is cold, but crunches underneath her clouded breath
Just breathe
This vindicated pixie, carvings green and black
Forever engraved, just to feel life sprout and jump
From her veins
She tussles with the wind
Collecting stones to weave
In her basket of leaves
They never stay
She’s not pretty like the flowers in May
Instead she’s haunting and brisk
Like the leaves of fall
Covered in a thick and heavy fog
Lonesome she walks to a side unspoken
But preparing for the cold dewy walk on ground unbroken
This vindicated pixie, she’s stronger than you and me.

rushed past me
some guy
runs down the hallway
bye-bye
guy
did I know you?
you said hello
and
goodbye
so fast
but I know you,
guy,
with rush of air
that tussles my hair
I know
the fear,
the itch,
the go go go
feeling
and
I know how hard it is to
stop,
say hello,
and
say goodbye
just fast
enough

*HOPE
Laying atop the carved-stone mesa,
feeling the chill of Perihelion’s air,
I am seeing long past millennia
in the night sky.
Snuggled inside my bed roll dreams
I feel earth’s motion
swirl distant galaxies,
as your red-shift light warms my face,
a celestial journey begun long before
our sun,
this planet was even formed.
Stardust memories blaze the night sky.
Each point a puzzle
holding onto so many whys,
giving forth, shouting out their mysteries
and expanding sighs.
Suddenly, in a snap shot moment
of earthly time,
I stand naked to face you
and your far distant hue,
as the rhythm of the wind,
its winter rhyme,
tussles my hair,
tingles my skin.
You are probably long gone
but I had to wave,
shout out my incantations,
acknowledge your presence
and warm glow sensations.
Standing, arms stretched wide,
Naked to the stars
I can sense your aeons ago reply:
“We are children of the skies
you and I.
the creation of melting nebulae
transformed into conscious activity.
I will know you
by the tracks you leave
by the way you persevere
in seeking and up-holding truth
in bettering the spirit of humankind.
I will know you by your smile.”
Aeons ago I sensed your touch.
As I raced back to the warmth awaiting
within these bed roll dreams,
I felt earth’s motion
rotate distant galaxies.
Staring into your starry night,
smiling at all the unknown,
I am ready for
all earth changing possibilities,
hastened along by distant hues
riding on this winter’s wind.

When the day comes
When the rainforest is burnt to none and they, for a dollar sum, stoop to petty catastrophe
When the oceans hold more plastic than water and it's too late for the dolphins to stage a coup
When the skies glow grey-orange with smoke and disappointment and each breath tastes of the same
When ever more radiation burns through; it's too much to hope we'll evolve superpowers - Oxygen Woman and the Amazing De-Plasticizer to the rescue
When the oceans rise and the land quakes in protest and from their tussles produce countless tsunami
When drought and flood escalate and tempests multiply; and there's no safe place left to live your life in ignorance
When we're almost all extinct; not that far away some think
When the end is unavoidable, will they see it then?
There's no insurance you can buy for the end of the world

The wind blows low in the valley.
The wind howls high in the trees.
The wind whispers in the holler.
The wind smooths the grass in the prairie.
The wind tussles her hair.
The wind tells her its secrets.
The wind listens to hers.
The wind kisses her goodbye.
The wind carries her secrets and soul far away.
The wind blows low.

She paints her brow with worries,
and combs her hair with fear.
The knapsack of strangers' troubles
is heavy, and sincere.
Her lips are curved and down,
awakened, but afraid.
Regret is growing in her garden,
Her bed is firmly made.
She tussles through her locks,
as if she dreams of laughter.
But love once lost is always lost,
her house is without rafters.
