"unmovable" poems
i'm not showering any more frequently than i typically do but every time i step in that bathtub i swear a whole day goes by the water falling turns into soft concrete and the drain stops up and i'm standing ankle deep in a brand new sidewalk soap suds running down my legs and pooling upon an unwalked path and heaven only knows how long before it all cracks and i'm free.

the unmovable pedestrian of cleanliness
As a young girl I was always expected to do as I was told. Don’t be too loud, don’t talk back, don’t appear to be sassy or bold. Mind your manners, hold your tongue, there is no space for being rude. Tone it down, cover it up, we don’t want your black girl attitude. Forced into boxes with no space to move. Restricted and restrained with everything to prove. Constantly combatting the narrative they paint. Making us look like animals while they look like saints. We are said to be angry, bitter and loud. Troublesome, uneducated, following the crowd. Masculine, impute, stubborn and broken. Accessories, trophies that ”one” friend, the token. These strings of disrespect will no longer be allowed. I don’t care if I’m not polished enough, I’m unwilling to be cowed. Take back your subtle hate and blatant prejudices all wrapped up in a bow. Served on a platter with fluffy words of disapproval and the saying “that’s just the way things go”. They say we are stubborn, unmovable and complacent. Well , consider how our feelings are always compartmentalized and latent. Our cries go unheard, our request are unmet. No one to protect us, left on our own to fret. This debt that we carry is too much to bare. It’s just as heavy as the onus that we all have to share. We are ethereal, complex and fed up with your satire. You can have whatever you think of me, I’m done being your Sapphire.

The Plight of A Black Woman: Sapphire
There is a pressure just behind my ribs That crushes me, yet I cannot shake it Unmovable. Untouchable. Incurable. On my lungs and heart, the weight of it sits. What does this pressure pull me to? Why does it threaten me with death? Unknown. Uncharted. Insatiable. It will not move until I've taken my last breath. This is what it is to yearn What it is to grasp with the soul. This is what it is to burn To ignite as desperation takes hold. I crave this thing I don't know It pulls at me day and night Like an addiction, I need it frequently Lest the anxiety, the panic, should strike. But it is not a thing, it is a person, in plural So very far outside my league, urban versus rural This is not even remotely healthy, but I can't turn From day to night, from sun to moon, I yearn.

me journey
Fluctuating back and forth on the idea of how to relieve The theme of cynicism throughout your life; Tough like nails: too stubborn to let go of whatever They were hammered into; the hits we take Make us unstable and unmovable from certain aspects. You chose to Stitch your eyes up With a thin piece of cynical string and a metal needle. Threading the idea of light and dark in each vessel, Causing your body parts to glow and show Off the direction of ideas, in out and down, But never up, for the sake of falling for the Instinctual trust and hope humans so conveniently thrive for. Conquered and obtained the conflict from your child Hood, fluctuating on the idea of morally right And morally wrong. Cough, cough, cough. Right Lung punctured by stale smoke, your lips twitch in The environment. Blood swells in your veins, forget That women’s ******* are to feed her children. Wipe the grin off the old man whose sipping warm Whiskey, tell him his wife is six feet under and partying With the demons he drove her to acquire. Like water, you are the universal solvent Cleaning, clearing, conquering and Creating a new symbiosis with human beings and The world they are submerged in; We take it for granted. Cynicism in brevity, is beautiful for the fact that it claims to be Open and calm like ocean waves during low tide Or a baby child’s gaggle and coo. Fluctuating between calm And ignorant, more so unintentionally rational to the point Of tearing your human anatomy apart and dipping the Soon to be suffocated air in heavy smoke. I’m afraid Humans just can’t handle the **** truth of reality.

With special thanks to George Ella Lyon I am from crumbling brick (red, dusty, smelling of musk). I am from aluminum siding and triple-deckers, tall, strong, unmovable. Hailing from the city on about seventy hills. From Grandfathers and photo albums, cigar ash salad and pinecone wars. From "use your imagination" and "go play in the street". I am from a whirlwind of faith, belief from non-believers. From schoolyards, playgrounds, and crawlspaces come these faces, and these memories are worth more to me, than anything.

And Here Come the Juniors
Why should you limit yourself to being just pretty? Don't be just pretty. Be a storm, beautiful, dark, intelligence flashing across your eyes like lightning and a voice as loud as thunder. Be a storm and never be silent. Be a forest, rooted, wise, strong and unmovable in the force of opposition and yet a dancer in the wind. Be a forest, and loyal to your land. Be the ocean, glittering, mysterious, captivating thousands of hearts and countless lives in your allure. Be the ocean, and be ruthless. Be nature. I guarantee nothing will get you farther.

Girls,
I am water I am no friend I am no foe I do not die I do not live They fear me they adore me in the same hearts of passion. I would not boost about my purity I will not rejoice bout my power. My deepest depths are dark and hidden who dare to go there or beyond. Consistency and balance though is not my virtue. I heed to a few laws to head my flow. It can not change learn them my princess then see me again and understand. Who am I to teach you seeing all your fury and might. I would wash and gently break down over time even the hardest of stone till all remains is powder And dust. I am naked they see through me they trust me enough to live in me. Sometimes even I bring death and life my methods always changing. They live because of me they die because of me I filled up many sees because of the tears they cried for the death I brought. They yearn for me and cry for me I don’t have to tell them anything their fathers learned from me all to be said in the beginning of ages before time. I am everywhere always changing and moving. My children are born in the morning due my fathers stand unmovable in north and south of the poles of this world. If you try and control me if you try to hold me make sure you have no cracks in the frame I love to serve you I love to embrace but the smallest of cracks causes me to break in with power and might who can then stand in my way My anger always dies down I always return to tranquility only to wait again in rivers of peace for my new master.

There must be a scapegoat, a faceless soul we can blame when events unfolding never crease the right way there needs to someone to take the fall for our shortcomings, failures, mistakes and flaws let's name it timing the outlandish ideal with a sort of silver lining benefiting our dreams or disappointing based on your outlook at the second placing our losses on timing's plate, so to us it remains indebted the divine invention we haphazardly sink our faith towards faulting opportunity for not opening closed doors falsely accusing an innocent occurrence with words of curse in nature we'll just chalk it up to poor timing, and bury it for later the concept of allowing an unmovable force dictate our actions selfishly choosing when the timing suits our satisfaction poor timing, missing the chance of a unmatchable proportions minimal effort to a particular cause turned twisted words contortions to cleverly claim the culprit, when your very actions displayed a lack of determination it's not the moment's patience that forces your will to put the act in motion yet we chalk it up to timing, a peculiar notion a cloak of deceit and disbelief we wrap ourselves in, blaming an unworthy malefactor innocent as the sun is bright so let's just call it poor timing, leaving our passion-less actions out of sight...

Timing
Red, Stinging, Peeling, Flaky, Dry. It’s skin reborn. Hard, Unmovable, Hot, Painful. A curse from the sky. Irritating blotches And the itchiness within Make me cranky As if boiling my own skin.

Sunburn
I can stick a gun in my mouth and it will jam. I can cut myself and miss. If I set myself on fire; it will rain to put me out. I can work up an appetite and not eat. If I stick my face to the wind; I won’t burn my skin. The world spins and I stay still. I can hear bombs from miles and crush rocks to sand. Give life to what is dead. I can move a hill to mountains’ domain and they won’t argue. I can throw the world into chaos and be praised. When I sit long enough; it is art. A mind can be set for this outcome. A person can image great future and greed. We have this power to march for one. We have this power to march for all. An unmovable object walks into a room. Does the room move with it? Or does it still stay? An unstoppable object steps on dry land. Does it crack? Or does it stay together? We are not malleable for a reason. But we can be broken with such few spaces. Such small and uneasy movements from across the world. It can be miles; but next to us. It’s impossible to march if no one knows how to dance. To waltz into trouble is easier than a solution’s dream. It is elegant and depressing as the same. We can compare scars but stay clothed and masked for others. We sometimes don’t miss when we cut. Sometimes the gun goes off. When a fire burns; it won’t be put out quick enough. This is real. This is life. But words mean more. Word mean more than actions because words are forever. A page can be lost and found. Paper can be cut and burned. But it’s still there in the mind of the writer. It’s still there in the mind of the poet. We as humans have the ability to move the hills. Move the world. But we care to not join. We, as many others, keep straight. We fall into the lines given ease. Giving the ease a way into the mindset of strength. Too much hate. Too much greed. Too much misunderstood points and confusion. We want to identify as something else to make us special. We want to be different than the person better than us. We worry about who said this and what they had done today. We look at horrifying things all day and change a picture to match it. We are numb. We are ignorant. We are invincible. And that’s sad.

It's as if my body were the ocean. Eyes of constellation,                                      I wonder                      what it was like        the first time you were so in love It hurt. Did you bend an break                 at your bough? a shipwreck more beautiful                        because unmovable             and your blue skies clouded Some beautiful substance, you are.            Sometimes it's a burden.                   Others, it's poetry

The transgressions of utter here and nowity Unbeleivable longing for a collapsing norm On the altar of self destruction and causal Reciprocity fluttering on rebirthed dreams You can sing and love these colorful birds Vibritang meticulously with rare palpitations Of greater bodies, which dust is a part of us Delusional creatures, flying on the grandeur Non reachable to written words, stellar ink is Spilled, playing on the shores of ever returning Waves of transformation; Shapes dance within Your gaze, telling the story of water coy stillness Unmovable we move on, unlovable we love hope Clinging to tree roots and blood veins as clothes Warm our trembling fragile figures travelling on And on into the higher realms of transfiguration.

Micro Macro Mimicry
This ship has set sail With a crew of fifty good men And twenty heavily coated dogs Over half the crew will be dead By the time we reach our destination On this secret government expedition Journey to the bottom of the world To find the Southern Pole The wind blows us where no life lives But the bitter cold From North America Past the southern tip of Argentina Harbored at the Falkland Islands For our last taste of civilization Six months Or maybe it was a year or more at sea To the icy shores of another planet Encased in endless days of darkness The ship became marooned In frozen oceanic tundra For many winter nights We the crew chiseled, shoveled And pick-axed our way to break free Of our prison made from solid crystal air Finally unyielding land ahead An unmovable iceberg We dock and unload Steady our sea legs to skis and sleds The dogs take off across this untraveled land Pulling us in tow Faster against the frigid wind Than our own frostbitten limbs would allow Ninety degrees south latitude lies somewhere ahead Blanketed in fresh snowfall and ice storms Supplies and moral run low as this weary travel continues on Shaded in zero visibility we set camp for the night Harbored against the soulless chill In a frozen crevice of ice mountain Our health deteriorated and the dogs drained Polar sleep sets in The arctic wind chills us to the bone And my cold eyes close

Is it indubitably unsuitable to be suitably incommunicable on the undeducible deduction dubitably deduced to be immovably unmovable or doably undoable? Or can a crazy conundrum communicate the incommunicable indubitabilty of the undeducibly suitable deduction? Simply said, such is doably suitable, or indubitably deducible if the doably communicable deduction deduces down to the suitably suitable, Movably reducible reduction that's indubitably doable.

Thought for Food
A harsh wind is blowing Whistling and shrieking down The peeks and ridges of our collective anxiety Only live, only hope I look at you often Stare into the corners of your eyes and I catch The tears that shine there I examine your fingers wrapped Over and around mine The thumb that I labeled perfect My own little spiders tucked under The warm shelter of your solid bones. We are two, you and I, but really we are one. Farther than the sun Way past the reaches of stars. Deeper than the ocean. You sink into my heart and I try to commit your face to a memory that can only exist while there is a vessel. But no matter the Galaxy Path I am destined to take The string remains. This love Is Unmovable.

Love Note To
You taught me to follow my fate, You taught me to take the risk and the bait. You taught me to be strong, You taught me to never be wrong. You taught me to feel love, You taught me to fly free like a dove. You taught me about truth, You taught me that in life, there is no ruth. You taught me to keep fighting for my belief, You taught me to keep away from relief. You taught me to fight, And you taught me what is right. You were right, this whole time, You were right, life beats to its rhyme. You were right, and they were wrong, You were right, that I was strong. You were right, that I was beautiful, You were right, that my stubbornness was unmovable. You were right, as I will always honor you, You were right, I believe in you too.

You taught me
A mountain, a range Carved from everlasting ages Did not crumble or wilt to sand as it shook from under my feet. The granite face stood Like statues To manifesting Into the space around it. Reminding me, that as weak As I feel, Inside of me is a similar Persistence Unmovable From the capricious whim of man and imbecilic masses who follow. I will seize your sharp shank from excavators trying to make me into something I am not. A woman with equal rights in the same air you breathe With dignity far beyond your pompous attempts to roil this robust range down. Your facade will crumble when the mirror knocks at your midnight door. Here, look at yourself.

False Statues Will Crumble
A castle door, guarded by no one A giant padlock fastened around the **** I pull with all the strength I can muster Nothing moves I try again, slamming myself at the unmovable door Nothing moves "Maybe it is me" I say "Maybe it is the weather, or the position of the sun on the horizon that makes this door unmovable" I back away from the gate to see a beam of light emerge from the tallest tower The most guarded This gives me hope If only I could burst through the gate, I could welcome the gatekeeper with open arms We could be joyous And, together, enjoy the limited eternalness of our youth So I attempt again, and this time the door swings open with a thud Under my new found strength I step inside, expecting to see a lush landscape And my beloved However, he is no where to be found And the courtyard is barren While I search for my gatekeeper I find his study Filled with books and books of the struggles of his life But no book containing the answers to his problems This makes my heart drop as I learn of my gatekeeper's difficult life With tears in my eyes, I push on to find him I search in every corridor Until I find the tower entrance And embark on the rickety, unkempt staircase to reach him I find him huddled in a corner His eyes, red and tiresome from worry As soon as my gatekeeper sees me He falls into my arms And we wept We wept for the things lost The things hidden The things that have past And the uncertain things to come For we have no notion of the things to come But we can live in this moment together from now on

It was pulling me in My escape was not a choice, As I came to close to this "Black hole" Its gravitational pull Unstoppable, Unmovable, Attraction, Was pulling me further in I was on the event horizon Skimming the beats that Were pulling me ever further Nothing could escape Feelings, Emotions, Love, Were being pulled to the centre It was something that I did not "Expect" It was consuming my "Heart" I couldn't escape that which pulled At every heart string I was lost the moment I had Entered this event horizon of love It took me in whole Mind, Heart, & Soul, Now I am consumed in this Red Heart of love, I was lost But know found consumed by love.

Event Horizon Of Love
And you get to witness the destruction of mankind The manifestation of violence The rise of crime The chemically induced joy that deteriorates the mind The cancerous legions on the soul that no doctor can find The shaman surgeon with the power to freeze time The emotionally famished family that uncle sam left behind The monotonous chime that causes the suits and ties to burst into reanimation The unmovable path of the bullet that kills without hesitation The murderous gang-banger dining in hells kitchen with no reservation The chains that bound the vagabond with no visitations The gruesome violence on the silver-screen that is met with joyous elation The exchange of video entertainment for a basic education The deterioration of the young minds that's given little concentration The beautiful flesh but empty soul that makes a living through fornication The ****** spoils of war that leads to mental devastation The death of good-will with no justification And you will not witness death but morale genocide Not of a specific person, but of certain values that are impossible to hide And with only one man to confide, they will continuously choose what is not right They will put down their crucifixes so they will have more hands to fight And only for the wicked reasons will they unite And you will witness them as they witness you As you teach of accountability, as you lecture of love But you will often be met with a deaf ear But do not give up on those ideals that you hold dear Because if you look to the edges of the earth, and then gaze above Ask yourself: Where do I want to be when it is time to be judged? But despite our ideals our conscience decisions proves the prophecies true *We will be the death of mankind

And you get to witness the destruction of mankind The manifestation of violence The rise of crime The chemically induced joy that deteriorates the mind The cancerous legions on the soul that no doctor can find The shaman surgeon with the power to freeze time The emotionally famished family that uncle sam left behind The monotonous chime that causes the suits and ties to burst into reanimation The unmovable path of the bullet that kills without hesitation The murderous gang-banger dining in hells kitchen with no reservation The chains that bound the vagabond with no visitations The gruesome violence on the silver-screen that is met with joyous elation The exchange of video entertainment for a basic education The deterioration of the young minds that's given little concentration The beautiful flesh but empty soul that makes a living through fornication The ****** spoils of war that leads to mental devastation The death of good-will with no justification And you will not witness death but morale genocide Not of a specific person, but of certain values that are impossible to hide And with only one man to confide, they will continuously choose what is not right They will put down their crucifixes so they will have more hands to fight And only for the wicked reasons will they unite And you will witness them as they witness you As you teach of accountability, as you lecture of love But you will often be met with a deaf ear But do not give up on those ideals that you hold dear Because if you look to the edges of the earth, and then gaze above Ask yourself: Where do I want to be when it is time to be judged? But despite our ideals our conscience decisions proves the prophecies true *We will be the death of mankind

What does it mean to love "scarred". I thought as I sat there running my fingers across the keys of the black keyboard, the letters in white standing still and unmovable atop the glossy charcoal plastic. Entering data onto the screen..thinking about the facts and details listed into my story. My mind wandered from the task at hand..I pictured myself...calm in demeanor...raging inside to unleash the fury, fervor and forgiveness of the untold story boiling within. Tucked away in shades of tall lustrous trees, behind the walls of a small charmingly cozy cabin, emptying the madness of words to create- My Story-in ink. The one reason I've been given breath and sensation to envision beyond the factitious boundaries that surround these hands and feet. Loving despite the afflictions that seemingly forever tore at my heart, is quite possibly one of the greatest types of Love. Constructing within me the ability to Hopefully...Master compassion. Loving scarred. Loving despite pain, loving with wreckage still in the heart, loving with the stains of tears etched in the skin, loving having the knowledge of love and loss. Perhaps..this is the best form of Love. Rather than wishing these away, soaking them in..allowing the forming of the heart to take place. Love, whether blemished, disfigured or flawed.. is the one source of human capability to fully heal.

Loving Scarred
Is there a place somewhere known and yet unknown where humans keep or lose their guilts Is there a dumping hole or a snug or a fierce incinerator blazing That destroys or obliterates human guilts Is it a known some guilts carry comfortably and alone just another thing for the holdall satchel bag or arm Someday its worryingly heavy on the shoulders other times it's just small and weightless An accessory as any others imperceptibly light Is the heavy guilt or tons heavy ones like granite stone a weary toil left in a storage or thrown over a cliff What ever done guilts come with a personal receipt bearing owners name time and number Attached to owner and carried 24/7 marked as 'Non-Transferable' Is your guilt or guilts  bearable or carry-able like your phone have you stored, hidden it or pushed down a crevice What about the indelible receipt on your person that which is there and rests on you Does it flare like an incindaries or just simmer quietly Is your guilt a bedfellow that clings to your chest in a zone whispering in tone foreboding and chills persistent Or one that wades in and recedes like shore waves perhaps it's a type like a central rigid statue An unmovable edifice of horror coated in fear and alarm Is your guilt light and niggly, a Bonsai with no tall grown did you amend paying a due and penanced did leave And though the attached receipt still haunts you least you know it will gradually fade away Leaving truly tutoring imprints Never to be repeated Is your guilt a stranger yet unmet and your spirit happy flown do you walk in salient steps with no recourse to remorse And greet each morn with pleasantries to I, me and self enthralled no rent paid for secret storage or a crevice Just the one that stands before man and Creation Held aloof by a Conscience unstained Copyright@Laurence14th Aug2018.all rights reserved.

New heart flame so bright Atop this ancient Candle Awakes my day-old fright. Fiery memories of this forgotten scandal. I wouldn't recommend - Defending someone so lost in their own eyes. Their soul flies No need to compromise. Everyday is self-justified. It's a way to think, breathe, eat, and feel. All about me, every speech, step, and meal. You can't reprimand. After all, it's tough to need To be needed. To let yourself actually care, That kinda thing slightly impairs. Your sense of judgment I hear. Always been unmovable. Every day, just me and the sun. All my dreams, so approachable. In between, my daily fun. Until a new heart flame came bursting through Bearing gifts and cursing me with thoughts of you. Strike my morals with your lightning bolt of a smile. An instant to re-think, and deny my deepest denials. We as humans think colors when we feel emotions. Something our brain does, call it thought recognition. A crimson flame turned brighter magenta. Within my ever-cautious aura. Mixing simplicity with complications. New heart flame I wonder if I need you. Lavender stroke of luck, guess it doesn't matter. No one's to blame At least now I've something to do. Spending every day trying to flatter. Learned a lesson on love today. That it's just being who you are, every bit you can admit. With someone standing there and accepting it. Like a new heart flame shinning there in the fray. Or just telling someone something you never thought you'd say. That I'm always here for you, and I'll never quit.
