"untraceable" poems
I know you. Sitting behind a screen in your room, Sipping in the shadows of a coffee shop. iPhone, iPad, iAm "Anonymous". The most dangerous word you can be labeled, The most double-edged of weapons- Anonymous. You're never really as untraceable As the cleared browser history says you are, Never as untraceable as the chain of destruction you cause is traceable. You're never really as invisible As the checked box lets you think you are, Never as invisible as the scars you direct a hand to make are visible. One word can't be all that. Anonymous can't be so dangerous. Some clicks on a keyboard can't be so devastating. There's a reason it used to be difficult to avoid responsibility. Because responsibility for your words, for what you cause, Is what allows you to see a few steps ahead. Your signature is what allows you to learn from mistakes, To vow after you've learned the hard way to think before you act. To see that those words have two names attached to them now. The writer, and the subject. Two traceable, visible people. Two hearts beating and breathing, now connected. Anonymous constructs a wall between action and reaction. It robs you of responsibility. Yes, responsibility is a prized possession, there to teach and show. Anonymous allows you to settle. It robs you of the greater person you could become. Yes, your future holds more than this, there beyond the wall of cyber bulling. I hate that I was once Anonymous like you. I hate that I unknowingly controlled the strings Of a self-destructive marionette hand miles away. But I don't hate you. Because I know you. I know you are more than the mistakes you've made behind that screen. I know you are more than Anonymous. So prove it.

Dear Anonymous, I know you.
I know you. Sitting behind a screen in your room, Sipping in the shadows of a coffee shop. iPhone, iPad, iAm "Anonymous".

I want you, but I'm okay with your essence Basking in your scent long after your presence The pursuit of my happiness Seems to wrapped up in your arms Yet I'm wrapped up And you seem to be gone Our fate is as good as whitewashed Unwritten history in the making Sanitized love I give and you're taking I should never be ok with half When whole is available I was ok with your essence Until it became untraceable

Essence
Ashen doves float within the waves, slinking like silent demons in the night. They curl around my body, jaws operating like steel machines, gnashing at my limbs. I begin to scream for help, but they ****** my breath, they drag me under their tides of black, unleashing my unremitting fear of water predators. their teeth, sunken into my flesh, gnawing at my mind, painting me my new mortality. These are my demons, the sharks in the bath when it comes to hygiene. the fear of the below and the depths of human mentality, the untraceable percentage of human worthlessness, the detestable attraction to the demise of our minds, I float lower into the aqua, pressure building, unforgiving and foreboding I close my lids, and dream of the sand, praying it to be underfoot when I open my eyes, but when my lids open, the doves loom closer. The irony of a hydrophobe, dying at the hands of the sharks.

IRONY
I lied by the sea, far away from the ebb- uncared, untraceable, a heap among the mounds. You came to me first, And then joined in she, both squatted by me, started the play with me. Never can I forget, the first caress- I know not, yours or hers, but it was like heaven. Your juvenile dreams, naive imaginations, bestowed on my otiose self, by your seasoned skills. Grain upon grains, both made me proud.  Not conforming to a flaw, meticulous maven masons. When your hands tired, she backed you up.  While she was ******  you tended her to health. Finally, I stood tall- an Olympian castle.  Both were beguiled,  I would never be happier.   And, then came the storm, Satanic vibes infested the air. I couldn’t fathom what befell, you were furious, she was crying. Raised voices, clenched fists, intimate moments castaway, I stood a meek witness, while a relationship was severed.   Came along the lunar surge, I was wiped away without a trace. Both stood distant from the other, watching me fall, filled with remorse.

SANDCASTLE...
The Beast, it lies, The Beast, it cheats, It gnaws and gnashes at your knees and feet, Its teeth are long, Its teeth, they scar, No person is left unmarked It size, unmeasurable Its weight, unweighed Its whereabouts, untraceable Its name, unnamed, But the Beast wears a familiar mask you see A mask so familiar, so familiar indeed, This unmeasurable, untraceable, unnamable beast, Who gnaws and gnashes at your knees and feet It roams by night, by day it hides The fearsome beast who lives inside.

The Beast
The loneliest librarian is in the heart of darkness I saw him, old, bearded on three sides book cases on the open side, a desk he faces outward into the darkness drawing notes at their best. Look away! in the distance an army and her generals gather Up ahead, a conqueror metal jangles, saddles horse Cries the pony boy: I miss my mother let me go back what does this all mean? Studying now, the librarian, notes in check, own pen scratching, no metals only and only his mind and an ink-filled well Spearhead, arrowhead formation a king and his khanate lean forward into the permafrost, snow lashing wind blows against but cannot stop fierce wild will and only the willows weep Cries the pony boy: Radically, may I be afraid of the dead, arms asunder so much love! so much love! what does this all mean? And far, far ahead of this army librarian sits, silently loving nothing, everything beside him he scribbles notes A love letter? tiresome if so upon closer inspection... At the center of the dark dark forest where a lonely man rides in his kayak lantern fixed upon a frame, making his boat top-heavy he bobs back and forth across his body of water he is haunted he is lonely he is a skeleton Now grand general crosses the Styx Ice clumps brushing gently against his ships cold enough to **** a horse, set blood aglow with blue, so cold it could not rot. To valley forge! to valley forge to forge a future. And pony boy cries: What does it mean? my father is gone, gone before this war, he once said, it must be, be, Did he mean... Finally, up ahead, the librarian draws untraceable lines, he knows the army is at his door lonely, shaking, only the conqueror made it and he is almost dead too. Scared, sacredly, he finally hands the librarian his match and sobs, softly, under breath "Time, time is, time without, time too starts anew."

sometimes I wish that I could get out of here, away from the dead thud of your approach. You remanifest with a mouth full of flat line, nothing’s changed. A man with the same nature about him, the same engorged rhetoric toward life I wished to bury in my garden long before.  A wound in the backyard, untraceable and unremarkable. Not of my heart but of Her Red Sea in which you reside now  Only as blood.  Buried along with my naked, along with my softness and my victim. When all this is over, don’t look at me  and expect to see the same person.

Her Red Sea
Crack The mirror broke. And such a thing, although inevitable, Tainted my vision, And stole my hope. I lost my smile, When, what I had was lost. Irreparable, Irreplaceable, Overwhelmingly... Untraceable. Over time the pain faded And was replaced anew, Increasingly constant, Blindening, Suffocating. Crack Another's mirror broke And the innocent pain, revived, Gifted my mind, With the cracked Memory of my mirror.

Plague and it's friend
True colors have been reflected like glossy panels of deceit; A palette of mixed aggressive tones to paint a hue of hate; ****** images depicted, displaying a forgotten world of an imagination still sputtering on A heart scarred for disbelieving the truth with each stroke; Empathetic swirls of long repressed feelings, staccato marks the untraceable A blend of emotions that leaves my gut reeling, like pigments of color circling a water-filled bowl

True Colors
you were crying at my window at dawn & your hair was only adding to the flood i hadn't gotten out of bed remembering how our souls danced undressed in lovely weather on the fringes of a fair you looked like a red bird in the morning sun i just lay there, stolen by your shining face i've been a barbarian most of my life stop me if you've heard this one before my blind approach to the steep paths of the labyrinth plunging hard & immediately untraceable i am a rude ghost ******* to your friends feigning imagined mystery like the stage door of a circus tent that day was beautiful and the sky clear carrying mute birds with paper messages but the rain is on it's way but sometimes, most nights i am a lamb upon your altar when i recall how i asked you where you want to be buried i said i would search for it with a hand grenade & you asked me the name of the town where i was born & if i am an animal i am one of the few that is self-destructive i will bring the empire thundering down i have chewed through my beautiful muscle to get out of that southern state & into your door with my face against the wet gold leaves & my nose burned black from the snow & wind

red bird in the morning sun
When I look at you I see Bryant Park flushed with spring and cluttered, burnished with Christmastime. I see the way your big hands hold my face, my waist. I see thick snowflakes catching in your long lashes. I see the streaks of light we've trailed in the places we have been like the flare of a comet, footprints in ash and snow. Six months we have stood, daring the storm to catch us, daring the lightning to strike. You will pretend you did not remember our anniversary and make me laugh when you say so because you want me to learn that you forgetting me is humorous and ridiculous and impossible. I'll wake up the morning after, panicked because it was five months and not six, and you will say that it makes no difference because what does a month matter when you have forever? We dance and I trip and step on your toes but you just turn on Frank Sinatra and lead me through while you sing, smiling, in my ear. And on the days when I curl up like a shell in your arms shaking with untraceable, messy sobs you keep singing your lips unafraid to kiss away the tears. I think I knew you once, a thousand years ago, a billion, when we were stars in the galaxy lovers in a white palace dust in the ground. And today we are six months of being in love six months of pure, unadulterated happiness six months of dancing, an eternal song. Sing me to sleep again, champion of my heart. I will dream that we are timeless and your voice will carry me through until the dawn. JFC

My Lover Stands
Watching smoke curl in the sky A simmer reflection, a residue of death stealing life The scent of sweet burning arrives Between breaths misting predawn light A womb collects dead children We hear them shrink and shiver Their limbs atrophied, their eyes wide Every kiss is wildfire Every yearning is weathered Like the shedding paint on the boards outside That needed a touchup, a lifetime ago Every touch is parched Every trust is dystopian The flesh departs from neuronal collections Untraceable to the heart inside No daughters, no sons No lovers, no love No affection, connection; truth or simple trust No daughters, no sons No lovers, no love No future No hope

dead children
The road back to you is full of thorns every step is a pierce through my skin soles bleed from the sharp edges of my agony wounds that time hasn't healed yet and its pus cry out 'for how long?' The road back to you is full of thorns and I am still made of eggshells crushed each time i roll back in which is why this road is a road that i should travel back no more The road back to you is full of thorns but it calls me even with memories i no longer welcome my footsteps can lead to many other roads but your arrow is a test of how much I've recovered and so I go... The road back to you is full of thorns but i know one day the thorns will hurt me no more and your familiar signs could lure me no more.. with my new compass, thanks but, No thanks! No longer barefoot, no longer on foot [Recalculating... Turn right] a road that my GPS system won't even recognize because the road back to you is full of thorns Abandoned, Uninhabited, Untraceable In fact, it's a road no More...

Kylie A song bird with a broken wing the cancer like the archer’s arrow pierced the breast the spirit widens Under storm laden skies from inward hush and silence an opening umbrella of prayer provides a shield The buffeted retreats to sheltering rocks and finds the hidden stream within depths blessed bindings In warmest recesses your steps guided by the unseen over and through this dark passing new findings With down cast eyes you continue the dark streets the home of the sick and the broken pain unspoken You came upon these deep downward steeps from the flood lights and euphoric accolades of fame Before your lyrical melodies were joyful expressive now will carry weighty and knowing sterling acclaim Mined from troubles hard unrelenting walls finally the richest golden ore through your feelings pour A little ease by the mystical dreams when sleep restores still withdrawn faces in the moonlight so pale For a time at heaven you rail to costly you barter all that is thine to own backed by a great pink brigade You fight with unstoppable courage you lead the march you find ground unvisited you go on without fail Beaconing to legions behind encouraging you carry the burning torch showing the way through the dark This my only desire I stand in this human body frail knowing my limitations but from the fight I call you Don’t be afraid and never say give up to many are depending your touch glorious women you defend Say in song the mystery you found in a city all alone you met sisters not age defined all filled with youth In your face I see the unexplainable the untraceable a strength born from conflict a secret knowing This is dedicated to Kylie Minouge Melissa Eatheridge and all breast cancer survivors

Do you know what it means when you say, "I'll never find someone like you?." Love is always going to be love in one person. Love is different colours, different emotions; Love is a time traveler, but no matter How many times you find love or love finds you-- There is only One of one person who'll love you. They're irreplaceable, untraceable, one of a kind. They are always going to be them--who they are! They'll have different colours, different emotions. They're time travelers and no matter How many times you find them or they find you-- There is only One of them who'll love you. Creative Writings - Reina J. Morris

Never Find Someone Like You
you are a fractal in a sea of branches you are the air between the dust that spirals in the sun streams the decimal point in the equation the dividing line between oblivion and infinity you are a loose end fraying made of left over dry skin you are the chemical you poison my drinking water you are the secret ingredient the last place they'd ever look you are the dark matter the imaginary number I can't wrap my head around you cure my melancholy we are alveoli we breathe fire seen through telescopes we believe we are alone we'll believe anything they tell us they won't love you they can't see you you are too much they'd never understand you don't give what you don't receive you give life as you breathe through me I see you when my eyes close I trace your shape on frosted windows you spark the fire that hijacks my biology you draw upon my skin with ***** fingernails your handwriting is embedded in my DNA your name echoes still unfamiliar voices without faces your secret's safe with me hidden in massive outer space places untraceable mastermind configuration takes ages just to give up out of frustration

sand sand sand sand sand sand i think my mind is disintegrating i might **** myself it probably began before i was born in the beginning there was nothing and the world was perfect then i came into the world and read lots of articles at university because i wanted a good grade but the world began to fuzz at its edges i’d drift back to the flat and stare at all the objects in my room unable to understand them most of the time i hate myself it’s one of the few emotions i have left i had this 4500 word assignment but every time i went to type it up my words came out, out of order a string of unrecognisable broken symbols a mangled image of my own stupid head i came to the conclusion i was having a mental breakdown the other month i sat in the city mall and stared at all the passing people in their most mundane moments and thought this is the rest of my life this stupid, pointless repetition i watched people rise on an escalator faces fixed blankly on the space in front of them as if they weren’t there at all i watched seagulls poke at one another and squawk into the ground and thought there is more life in them than us i didn’t want to be a **** up again i would try to read over what’d i’d written for hours on end until i was shaking, on the edge of tears unable to understand why this was happening to me i’d lie in bed and think about the infinite worthless stretch of my life feeling only an untraceable anxiety deep in the pit of my flesh for the longest time i thought all this anxiety and fear came from without that if i learned about existence enough i could excise all the bad parts out but something in my head broke something i couldn’t control maybe some part of me wanted this to happen so i’d have a reason to die.

The fine light slanting through the windows outside hit upon the shadows in the dusty corner; corners cut by the butcher's son leave little left of the slaughtered voices. I cradle his red stained hands, leaving the untraceable pleasure under my fingertips. With the time ticking away, why does all the time travel to some sort of silent retreat? We all feel pleasure in being guilty. I start to yell, like ***** willows on fire to let my own voices recover.

The Butcher's Son
Where God passes The edge of forever where raw power is displayed Walk the seascapes enter the story told in timelessness except for outer space it is the only place where man finds his mind freed so steep is the unending awe that without question he finally is able to present his self as the tiny speck lost is all ego all self importance he is open to the quest for ultimate truth. You perfect you’re thinking at the sea shore it is a storehouse that lends itself to grand thoughts no limitations hamper your endeavors aliveness engulfs you totally. Subdued moods excavate every shallow you start a down ward decent the deep cries out to your soul the part that never can be accessed on shore. The ground a foundation for raising up temporal structures your needs are served in waters that open as a mysterious gate the deeper the fathoms the more understanding is released. To abide in calm surface features of the sea what a waste take off the restraints become a voyager drift with churning twisting pressures they will give great reward for accosting your accustomed staid and uneventful living. Go deeper the mundane the so called important will be forced through your very pores as you continue calling the unknown manifest itself with great scrolls hidden beyond reach to those that plod along the sunny quiet banks. Life test all men you can face them unafraid armed with years not minutes of preparedness found alone in the struggle only found at sea. Pondered Plumbed in inexorable conditions that stretches changes a person’s character his stature tempered fired as steel in the caldron. We need leaders vibrant thinkers people who can and will accost hell in the very near future and come away victorious. They will have found their way through the untold deadly entanglements figuratively and real their not accustomed to ease and know perils at close quarters they learned them in great waters not in pools that have not the ability to stir you to your core you’re going to pour out your life in one form or another do it with sand and grit leave a scarred an effectual trail for others to follow not the light untraceable light footsteps of one who has never lived.

Self-respect, Self-esteem, A body, Sparkling red, ruby love for traveling to new and broader sides of the world, A pair of lips, A heart that can tremble when sad, and vibrate with joy when she feels my hands in hers, Some eyes, A pretty ******* **** interest in books Legs, arms or what not, A round, firm belief system that can open up if support presents itself, Clothes..or not what do I care?, An untraceable amount of empathy, that is quilted with smaller amounts of self-interest and a hankering for affection that is not masked and hidden by make-up and trendy fashion, Hair, long or short, or none..., A sense of pride when she walks and this somewhat cynical view on how the world works, because she believes that the complex life we live in cannot be generalized to the point that government can regulate it, A tongue, that can swivel and turn just so she can speak, nothing else, speak her mind, speak her thoughts, but she can never speak enough... Ears, or an ear, or none because I doubt I'll be talking over her, A never-ending need to be herself, and the knowing that she is beautiful, beautiful enough to be able to "look like she just woke up", beautiful enough to not need me, But most importantly beautiful enough to be totally invisible...

What I Look For In A Girl
It's cold here, but it heightens her senses. The rustle of the wind in the fallen leaves and the crash of waves on a distant shore tell her she's at home. But this dream is a lie. There is a huntsman on her tail. His mark is untraceable. But to her it's undeniable. He is here. Silent, patient and resolved, her would-be captor knows her as his own reflection. She is aware of intentions, but also of his hesitation. So, in spite of being in his sights, she paces on. Steady, her gaze remains ahead. And though the ranks of cypress trees pass one by one, for what seems to be eternity, the search for her moon moves her on.
