"tuxedos" poems
I remember his smile His embrace His touch on my fingers As he played beside me We made such beautiful music Why did you have to go? I loved watching you Prepare for concerts The calone you always wore Always making sure The tuxedos were fitted right You would play the melodies Of your life for all that would hear Just as suddenly it was over The music lost its magic I played one last time As I closed my eyes I began to cry I felt you next to me again As I finished the song and quietly stood for the final bow I saw you In white In front of you crystal piano Smiling at me as you played The same melody Now it lives on on me.

My Godfather
Are you my penguin? Yes. . . this may surely sound odd But, the beauty of the basis of this question Is true You see, these simple little lovely tuxedos They waddle around the forever winter All by there lonesome Until they spot another little tuxedo Roaming the winter flakes They fall in love Rub their icy beaks Together they are one They waddle together now Have little tuxedos of their own Raise them, then grow old together Never leaving one another's side That is the love I feel That is the curious little emotion I carry for you I have penguin love for you my dear I've known it a very long time now So I ask you, my sweetheart Are you my forevermore? Here to stay until we are old and crazy? Are you my true love? Are you my penguin love?

Penguin Love
In comes one every week, tracking into my home the filth of the streets: some are patterned like cows, some wear tuxedos, some have turtle shells on their backs.   One looks like a whole spice rack spilled out on him. Barn cats, alley cats, stray cats, exotic cats— she says no to none of them. This home is wild and foolish like her mind. That compassion pours out like acid on my bones. Then I’m forced to shoot her down   with words that fly out like bullets, and more mouthfuls and more mouthfuls of bullets that all but ricochet off her iron clad will. You turn so perfectly down your roads of passion. Creep on through the stop signs I put up and mount on my head the horns, the ones we pretend we can’t see, the ones that let the bullets soar, bullets to **** you again, horns to undress your sister.

A Cuckold and His Gun
For the first time on campus, Sisters on the Runway will strut and pose for domestic violence awareness. Sisters on the Runway will be hosting its first annual fashion show from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight in the Business Building. All proceeds will be donated to the Centre County Women's Resource Center, Layla Taremi president of the organization, said. Sisters on the Runway is a national student-run organization that raises awareness about women and children who reside in domestic violence shelters. There are over five chapters throughout the nation, each supporting the same cause to local shelters. It was founded in 2009 and has grown since then, Taremi (sophomore-marketing) said. Aside from the fashion show, which is the biggest fundraising event that the organization hosts, Sisters on the Runway is also responsible for other events. The organization hosts a chalking event where they write facts about domestic violence on sidewalks using chalk. This is a way for them to raise domestic violence awareness, Taremi said. It also hosts a walk where all participants walk a mile in heels for awareness. The show will consist of eleven female models and three male models, Edie Alexander, the event planner, said. Alexander said the show is expected to showcase clothing from Connections, Dwellings, Diamonds and Lace Bridal and Harper's, who are also their sponsors. Looks Hair Salon will be responsible for hair and makeup for the models in show, Taremi said. "There is no theme for the show,” Taremi said. “It will be a wide spectrum of clothing." The male models are expected to walk the runway showcasing suits and tuxedos, Taremi said. Originally the show was not going to include male models. It wasn't until the owners of Harper's decided to contribute to the show by donating some men's apparel for the fashion show. All the models participating have been building up their confidence for the runway, Alexander (sophomore-recreation park and tourism management) said. "I'm excited for our first annual fashion show, I hope this brings more awareness to the Penn State community," Vice President Lauren Shearer (sophomore-supply chain management) said. The organization’s goal is to get a lot of people involved through different events to help raise awareness of domestic violence, Shearer said. "We’re trying to push people to come, not just Penn State students, because it's not an issue that doesn't only affects college students,” Alexander said. “It affects everyone as well."Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide

summer, spring, winter, fall, it always carried a whiff of cleanliness, like lysol, bleach and daffodils had made a not so secret love child. there were never any marks. no signs of mistakes, accidents, humanity. the floors glistened like the sun beaming off a black convertible. the windows, you couldn’t even tell they were windows. not without the panes. transparent like the shores of the Mediterranean. I never touched anything. I held my breath among glass, ornaments, picture frames. afraid one intake would show up like a smudge that could never be wiped off, no matter how much one tried. she fits the house. like those china dolls, polished to perfection. blonde hair rolled in unison curls. no frizz. never any fly aways. face just like those windows, eyes raging in a storm too far away. his room was the only one i could sink in. legos scattered (i always stepped on the yellow ones) clothes fuming with dirt and almost manhood. his posters crooked, carrying characters dressed in armor, or tuxedos, animated, weapons in hand. his bed, never made, incasing the last impression of his body (he always slept on his side) a spot of drool still visible, blankets holding his scent. soap, laundry detergent and oranges. game controllers trashed, bite marks, dents, too many battles. i finally breathed when i walked in.

I see you I've seen those eyes before Drowning in patched-up paddle boats With promises of tomorrow slipping down your face Like saline shipwrecks fleeing harbor And greeting the ocean floor with damaged handshakes And now you're hopeless Focused on could have been's and maybe one day's Knowing one day Swelled up storm clouds Could slide through your cheek bones Like sunshowers preventing your skyline parades But I see you still searching for rainbows Covering your face with two handfuls of imagination Daydreaming of days where technicolor dreamcoats Become wrapped around your soul Like tuxedos for the bold I've seen those arms before Deafeated willow branches in the moonlight Rebellious to rise upright And now you're tired Only fired up when your flesh Converts to kindling on a campfire Building sparks that shimmer for seconds When your light deserves a lifetime But I see you still inclined to shine brightly Trying to assign meaning to your life with two inspired limbs That can freely build bridges or climb mountaintops Clinging onto hope with sturdy fists Exploring the peaks of your potential I've seen those legs before Tattered toothpicks on prom night Frozen in stage fright on the dance floor Pressing muted prayers with each footstep Into creaky floorboards waiting for silence to ensue And now you're nervous You're certain those two left feet can't possibly find the rhythm So your shoes are the victims of bashfulness Fearing one false step will uproot your jitterbugs And place them alongside the butterflies in your stomach But I see you still owning your insecurities Because you know you're alive just fine I see you You are who I envisioned you to be I see you Brushstrokes of imperfections shaded in perfectly I see you It's more than just your typical hello It's a phrase for all of us to speak solely with our souls It can make you feel at home at the center of your bones When all your hope is lost and there's no where left to go So when I greet you Listen carefully This is a reminder that your eyes can be thunderous Your arms can be victorious And your legs can be ambitious Your presence is necessary for this discussion And your essence is accepted here Let me speak your spirit into existence Seeing is believing And believe me I see you

I walked into the ballroom - surrounded by tuxedos and long revealing gowns. An orchestra was playing a song from Our Town. People stood together, as if protected from their fate. I looked towards the door, but I knew it was too late. Too late to leave, too early to stay. Play me that sad song the one we used to play. Song called, "Evergreen" from another lifetime ago. Do you remember the way I held you as we danced so slow. Where are you - is it too late for you to get here? Is it too soon for you to believe? I can see you standing against the wall - would you like to dance with me? A piano is playing, an older man tickling the keys. playing a song for dancing, playing a song for you and me. "Touch me in the morning..." We stood close together, through the window we can see the stormin'. "Then just walk away..." Your arms around my neck, my arms around your waist. "We don't have tomorrow..." I kiss your lips, I feel your tongue... "But we had yesterday..." The piano stops and the orchestra is silenced. The doors open and we walk our as one - tuxedos and long revealing dresses, piano man and the storm. I put my arm 'neath yours - you place your head on my shoulder. The orchestra begins to play a song as we walk through the doors. The music fades as we walk in the rain - we walk towards a tree and we stand beneath it. The roots of our love keeping us warm - keeping us close. Lightening and then Thunder - striking 100 times for you and me. While the old man sits by the piano - playing that old song for you and me. Together through life - each other's stories run together like the days and nights of our time...our tree has blossomed and its growing so fast - if we don't have tomorrow our yesterday will keep our memory alive forever.

Let us Boost "The Ballroom"
Vibrations coursing through ones body Crazed mazes and uncontrollable sensations. Weird feelings in the air and strange tuxedos that don't even fit them. But who cares, the vibes are sent by what you feel reflecting upon what you see. You make them.

your "friends" that we meet, i forget their names, my calloused palms are greased, by their  squeezing hands i remember one's a banker, or he could have said a thief, his ******** words were flanked, by my misbelief i was held hostage, you were a smiling drone, i remember when i lost to Stockholm Syndrome their Heirloom Suffix changes, on tuxedos and trust funds, my rental wears just fine, i'm not the danger shorting stocks on tuesday, while playing ball in hand, what a shame to lose me, busted seams this man I am not a banker, I am not a saint, I cannot to be trusted, I won't place the blame. I am not a proxy, I am an astronaut, But this distant world you live on, Is far from my plot

Heirloom Suffix
Oh the mutedly loud The warmness and romance of the space; Red velvet, Dimmed lights, Set tables, Candlelight,  Waiters in tuxedos. A mingling party. Wine and cheese, Contrast with compliment. I feel as if to walk out the double doors to a sweet scented garden under the stars, with a stone path, sides outlined by glimmering candles.  A night to remember,  For I'm with loved ones  At a unique event.

Cheese and Wine
I'm thinking of how I return to the spot in the disco ball moonlight and I'm catching my breath. I always noticed people who are uptight using humor as a mask. This masquerade is filled with gowns of glitter and tuxedos of black and white. We dance, we chat, we drink our beloved manhattan and gin. I'm more than excited to be at the masquerade, Though I'm hit by past behavior of craziness and belting profanity. I didn't mean it. Just want everyone focused on my glitter so I now still wear a mask. Can we still dance? Can I have one more drink? Can they learn to move forward? Behavior is like a masquerade. Dress to perfection, and don't drink too much or you'll end the night with humiliation and grief. Play with your boa but don't chase if it doesn't catch his eye. Don't lay a hand on her if she refuses a dance with you. Be kind to the others at the ball. Smile and whatever is hurting inside, put a mask on it. We don't need to ruin everyone's time at the wonderful masquerade. Some may or may not Forget.

Masquerade
I want him to have a beard. I want him to read. I want him to feel the weight of words on his chest. I want him to always feel his heart skip a beat when I tell him I love him. I want him to know the value of ‘I love you’. I want him to be educated. I want him to look through things. I want him to overlook superficials. I want him to be tall. I want him to be sportive. I want him to be well built. I want him to take care of himself, I want him to take care of me too. I want him to worthy his family. I want him to put God first. I want him to have ambitions. I want him to feel comfortable with me through silences. I want him to be home, my home. I want him to have black hair. I want him to be social. I want him to be proud of me. I want him to have brown eyes. I want him to make me believe in forever. I want him to appreciate the little stuff. I want him to make me feel safe. I want him to give up his soul to singers singing their sorrow. I want him to value the little things. I want him to wear tuxedos. I want him to wear dress shirts and ties. I want him to find comfort in pain. I want him to despise smoking. I want him to see that enjoying your life is beyond partying and getting drunk. I want him to keep his promises. I want him to see women as equal to men as 1 is equal to 1. I want him to like kids. I want him to be committed. I want him to understand the emptiness I feel inside, I want him to fill it. I want him to be brave. I want him to be protective. I want him to not be ashamed to cry. I want him to support me. I want him to get along with the people I love. I want him to be the missing piece that completes my puzzle. I want him to be my source of peace. I want him to hug me tight, and never let go. I want him to want me. Or maybe I don’t want any of those things, maybe I just want him to fall for me and catch me as I fall for him too.

The Night hosts her socials for the monsters inside and out In the moonlight we come dancing, clinking bottles, wandering about We are goblins, ghouls, mummies, witches, zombies and misfits alike Dressed up in our finest tuxedos, pearls, lace, bloodstains and the like The Daylight wont have us, but the Night plays hostess to our monster bones She slips into her midnight blue party dress and she puts on the Ramones And we dance we dance we dance O, we are the dark psychopaths, the feared, the soulless creatures We companions by the moonlight are shaking, stammering vultures We are friends in wayward trudges, we are spitting, foaming vermin We are in love       We are the World's rejected kin The ghouls and the witches and our old zombie friends, The World's most dark and repulsive in clear-cut diamonds, We monsters aren't alone in the night, drunken, broke and hideous, Charming and disgusting, we are the Night's beloved insidious In the night, we are happy, giddy, wasted children We are the Fiend Club, we are the monster brethren Until we are caught, disfigured, drunk and red-handed        by the Daylight And we make our way home, to crawl under the floorboards        and sleep until twilight Until the Night's long fingers slip an invitation under the door And we will put our party dresses and our tuxedos on once more *O, the moon is out and the Fiend Club has woken The Night is young and we are broken*

(a poem I wrote for Auntie Annie’s funeral). Well you’ve all taken your time… while I’ve been waiting here. I’m about to trip the light fantastic in all this sparkly gear. And, because the aches and pains have gone, I’m about to strut my stuff. I’m dressed in Rose Organza with feathers and pink fluff. I’m surprised at how well I feel settling into this ‘other’ side. I’m sure I’ll calm down after some frivolity, then take things in my stride. For now though the spirit is upbeat testing my wings; making appearances near & far. First though, a dance contest, tonight at Bridlington Spa! Yes, I’ll be tripping the light fantastic… I’ve two partners in the wings. Both husbands in smart tuxedos, brushing up their moves and things. And I’m hoping we’ll cut a dash on that shimmering stairway to heaven… Well, Wally was probably a six point five. And *** (my first love)… A SEVEN! But seriously…my body had reached the bitter end and my memory was little better. Who was who  - and what was what - was touch and go, and… let a ninety two year old tell you with chair, zimmer frame or stick… that the thought of stepping comfortably - toward that light… FANTASTIC! … and even more seriously… I’ll look out for all you kids… with a word or voice on the wind as it whistles through the trees. Catch a glimpse in a crowd… “Was that?” NEVER?!. But It might be just my scent on the breeze. But for us to be in touch again, however brief, we must be ready and enthusiastic. I’ll prompt you to think of me as I trip toward that light… FANTASTIC!

Who was who  - and what was what - was touch and go, and… let a ninety two year old tell you with chair, zimmer frame or stick… that the thought of stepping comfortably - toward that light… FANTASTIC! … and even more seriously… I’ll look out for all you kids… with a word or voice on the wind as it whistles through the trees. Catch a glimpse in a crowd… “Was that?” NEVER?!. But It might be just my scent on the breeze. But for us to be in touch again, however brief, we must be ready and enthusiastic. I’ll prompt you to think of me as I trip toward that light… FANTASTIC!

For gory guys and glamour ghouls The Night hosts her socials for the monsters inside and out In the moonlight we come dancing, clinking bottles, wandering about We are goblins, ghouls, mummies, witches, zombies and misfits alike Dressed up in our finest tuxedos, pearls, lace, bloodstains and the like The Daylight wont have us, but the Night plays hostess to our monster bones She slips into her midnight blue party dress and she puts on the Ramones And we dance we dance we dance O, we are the dark psychopaths, the feared, the soulless creatures We companions by the moonlight are shaking, stammering vultures We are friends in wayward trudges, we are spitting, foaming vermin We are in love       We are the World's rejected kin The ghouls and the witches and our old zombie friends, The World's most dark and repulsive in clear-cut diamonds, We monsters aren't alone in the night, drunken, broke and hideous, Charming and disgusting, we are the Night's beloved insidious In the night, we are happy, giddy, wasted children We are the Fiend Club, we are the monster brethren Until we are caught, disfigured, drunken, red-handed        by the Daylight And we make our way home, to crawl under the floorboards        and sleep until twilight Until the Night's long fingers slip an invitation under the door And we will put our party dresses and our tuxedos on once more *O, the moon is out and the Fiend Club has woken The Night is young and we are broken*

Welcome to the Fiend Club
Reckoning gaze, learning ropes, knotty pine encasement, knowing what the box looks like from inside is preeminent inimitable. I was so certain last year would be it. Likely even, I thought the same the year before and years before that, all whilst whittling away, planks of this coffin, scratching to get out. Sealed in a fate, this vampiric rising, doomed to eternity of night crawling. Yet, by no means has glamour of Hollywood realm flickered any sheen, this direction. Not all vampires can afford tuxedos. Grosgrain lapels, and red satin lined capes do do wonders for former stars of silver screen, but this succubus prefers his naked lot. Apparently, malignant rogues who lie amongst worms don't always have the wardrobe to go with it. New Year's resolution: a tuxedo, perhaps some tails, and somewhere to wear them.

Hellion's New Duds
Everyone, take up your pencils and paper, guitar strings and shoelaces, bow-ties and tuxedos, your make-up and plastic, and ready yourselves for the hardest fight yet. Everyone, paint on your smiles, spray your last drops of perfume, eat a hearty breakfast, be sure to grab your briefcase, and ready yourselves for the final battle. Today, we fight. We fight for the rich and the poor, we fight for the victims of natural disaster, we fight for your low grades, your six-figure incomes, we fight for ourselves, for a brighter future, we fight for genocide, we fight for holocaust, we fight for disease and famine, and for religion. Everyone, take up your weapons of choice, cry out your war cries, dig deep down inside yourselves to summon the rage. Fight for me, fight for yourselves, for everything you believe in. Fight for love, fight for war, fight for peace, for hatred. Everyone, whatever you do, fight for something. Because, I tell you now, I have lost my vision, I have lost my purpose, I have stopped believing. Fight for me, fore I have been taken captive by this game we call life.

Believe
I have always dreamed and hoped for a Princess, a princess so priceless not worthless, Someone magnetic not robotic Someone with a gigantic and elastic figure, So I can be less dramatic, and be more romantic, As I take her to Atlantic, With my loyalty, Someone I can wake up to with my poetic poem, Placing her head on my chest, Reciting a magnificent poem, deep down from my heart, As the melody of my voice , trigger through her veins, Making it sweet and sour to the beat of her soul, As it sails, Feeding her with some chicken alfredo, to prove to her am not a ****** As we Sip together from a jug full of gip juice, I may not be Rod Zimmer, But I will take you to Zimmerberg As we linger away in my hummer , Sooner, all through the whole summer, As the sun rises, u put on your giant over sized sweater, While I pull off my tuxedos, Putting on my tommy Hilfiger Boxer, Holding hands, On one lane, making each steps count , As the memory stays, having a sunset walk on the beach, Gazing deep down at the sparkle in your liquid blue eyes, As it radiates to my soul, You can't deny, My smile warms your heart, Under your sponge bob cover, We are two heart beating on one rhythm, Let my rhymes be your wine , as u read every line , always get high, relent on my lines at bedtime cause they wil never decline. As they will always fill the unspoken words that were never said within time.

SOMEDAY WITH YOU
Have you ever tasted the spicy barrels of a firearm? Although self-control may hammer her heart in rhythm with contemporary recollections of a distant Northern community; I have resigned myself to proclamations which can never be repeated in the streets of Miami. I know that tropical storms can be relentless, especially where tuxedos are triggered by intense and acoustic fields of romantic death. So, tell me, what are your co-ordinates? It is important that you pump your lever in a forward direction, because the troposphere hinges upon all of this anthropological turbulence.

Meteorological Projections.
give me-the bowie knife of repartee, nothing more satisfying than the quick stabbing, a good blood letting, in your genteel face, no hellish moderated pace, the energetic plunge of a quick lunge into the woebegone, long after you count the meter tempo’d use fingers and toes, but needing to hold your nose, to include that extra grace note, that belies denies the harmony the tules and rules of calling order to control the roost,  sine-one is a victim of a down and virtuous ***** verbal slashing! count my syllables, never, let my stanzas run free, like an African tiger, with the goat of format mounted in between his teeth, bloodied and dripping dead, the squealing of hyper innocente, silent after cries of, kind sir, me thinks thou protest too much! we can squish and twist our holy words, into formal tuxedos of cantankerous arrowed arrogance, but know this, roses are read, them violets, blue, have turned millions of children to avert their eyes from anything thereafter that was classified, notarized, canonized, sanctified as the write rules of poetry peals of pearls are born with parentage of a lousy grain of sand, the words etched in the lines upon my hand, are lifelines of sidewalk cracks, discarded candy wrappers, the twisted ends cigarette butts, used as proof that ash and dust are the genetic source material of uncommon great composition, given to those who love the common touch of leaves of grass, thstbeneath the heat of the sun that exposes the nothingness of bitterness know no one can run from the golden visibility, of a sun, talent in pursuit of egoism is a long road to a short history yeah.

Thank you for coming along for the ride, Take your seat sir or madame, Ride in style, Take a seat, it's guaranteed to be worthwhile. Just stay sitting enjoy the feast of ravishing delight feast your eyes upon the merriment simply gaze upon this sight: The coyotes they bring the howling catcalls and beer nonetheless Simply dashing in tuxedos, Simply smashing up the guests Tumble over chairs to see the magical attraction of the heat between your knees that fantastical reaction Simply dripping with disease that undeniable distraction, With the sparkling eyes and wandering hands she slips her fingers in to a come hither gesture what lies in store what lies in wait is in the measure. Follow her to the depths assuring your destruction, instead to find you find the light, dysangelion satisfaction.

Dysangelion Satisfaction
There comes a time in every young girl's life When she wants to marry and be a young man's wife. There comes a time and you need to remember this to the end. It's good to be lovers but first you have to be friends. One has to be the ying to the other one’s yang. One has to be the umbrella to the other one’s rain. There comes a time when she wants a white gown and maids with frilly dresses on, And a groom and groomsman in black tuxedos and wearing Stetsons. There comes a time you need to know marriage is about more than a bride and a groom. It's about being together and letting your love bloom. Try to keep things moving at an even pace. Hold on to your love tight while giving it space. Never hide anything, leave nothing in the dark. Keep things interesting, always looking for that spark. You need to be the air that the other one breaths, And be the tree for the other one's leaves. You need to be the strength for the other's weakness within, And be the savior for the other one's sin. When mining for love, there's one thing you need as a tool. When excavating true love, you need the golden rule. You need to be the left to their right, the right to their wrong. You need to be the melody to their song. You need to be the up to their down, And help to keep the other one's feet on the ground. Your dreams should be theirs and their dreams should be yours. Keep this in your heart and your love will always be pure. You have to be there for their every need, And be the ground where they plant their seed. So if you want to make it through all the years, You have to feel their pain and share their tears. Just a little word from the wise, Take turns on who has to compromise. So when you're walking down the aisle, remember something so true, You are no longer one, now you are two. But once you say I do and it’s over and done, You’ve come together as two and now you are one. There comes a time when a young girl finds a heart of gold, And she finds a lover that's not afraid to be bold. There comes a time when a young man reaches his goal And marries a young girl that touches his soul. STANLEY HENDRIX 07/2008
