"valuables" poems
Commitment is heavy both on the heart and on the shoulders. Most forget and they crumple under the weight of expectations and romantic moments. Commitment is like carrying you through the sea but not unloading you when things get rough. Sometimes people get confused about which valuables to keep and which to abandon. Commitment is like flying a plane I get to lead and direct us to the beautiful islands. But it's never about me flying it's about you landing and never crashing you.

Commitment
A little birdy told me, hearts and souls are mouldy, Walk with me, talk with me on this journey of doubt, You'll question people and you'll question the drought, of honesty people lie about, because It's time to scout, For people of kindness on earth, From birth, I think I've been cursed It gets worse, as I rap this verse, I'm trying to explain how life can be complicated, Because we're all intoxicated, muffled in fumes of disease and fleas that cling onto your skin, Use the energy within, and repel them this is where your journey will begin, I've been searching for a moment or a pin, point in time, When these rhymes and lines will be classed as devine, as I perfect and refine, I'm just wondering how many times I can assign the same rhyme, so all sit back with a glass of wine, whilst I intertwine every line, lyrics so evil I'm committing a crime, maybe I'll get a statue, maybe a shrine, I need to switch it up so let's all decline, but you'll remember this verse as one of a kind. Whilst I'm standing still over this hill, I think of moments in life that gave me a thrill, But I remembered the pain and I remember the chill, Of the cold dampened hearts that never seemed to spill, Love or affection, like it's protection they need during the question, should I mention, you never gave me attention, Like the worlds in one convention and I'm stood outside looking in, I grin, whilst I use these forces buried within, to show people in verse what I mean, before the planet isn't green, before the seas collapse and wind is no longer a breeze, We freeze in an ice block, tick Tock, tick Tock we stopped the clock. But no body hears me so everyone listen up, Stop what you're doing and please raise a cup, For stopping global warming and extinction of animals, because we're all valuables on this tiny spec of galaxies, Yet governments plan strategies, to profit from the tragedies, they keep us all living in fantasies, but strike in catastrophes So let's help our families and all become one, before we've got none and everything we love and everything we feel is gone, Putting a bet on the apocalypse, odds are 10 to none, So hold hands with me now let's rejoice in song!

The World As We Know It (Rap)
A little birdy told me, hearts and souls are mouldy, Walk with me, talk with me on this journey of doubt, You'll question people and you'll question the drought, of honesty people lie about, because It's time to scout, For people of kindness on earth, From birth, I think I've been cursed It gets worse, as I rap this verse, I'm trying to explain how life can be complicated, Because we're all intoxicated, muffled in fumes of disease and fleas that cling onto your skin, Use the energy within, and repel them this is where your journey will begin, I've been searching for a moment or a pin, point in time, When these rhymes and lines will be classed as devine, as I perfect and refine, I'm just wondering how many times I can assign the same rhyme, so all sit back with a glass of wine, whilst I intertwine every line, lyrics so evil I'm committing a crime, maybe I'll get a statue, maybe a shrine, I need to switch it up so let's all decline, but you'll remember this verse as one of a kind.

DRESSMAKERS to the stars J’Aton have turned designer detectives after one of their most valuable couture gowns was stolen from a bride’s home last week. The one-of-a-kind gown, which was stolen from Leanne Bartucca’s Greenvale residence along with other valuables, is estimated to be worth more than $40,000. It weighs more than 18kg, and features intricate 100-year-old vintage French lace that has been carved and sculpted onto leather and layered tulle. J’Aton designers Anthony Pittorino and Jacob Luppino, who also made the wedding gowns of Rebecca Judd, Nadia Bartel, Jodi Gordon and Yvette Prieto, wife of Michael Jordan, are appealing to the public in the hope that if it goes for sale online, someone will recognise the distinctive dress. “We are so devastated for our dear friend Leanne; that dress has a special place in our hearts and is so sentimental to us all,” the pair said. “It’s a dress that we created especially for Leanne, it has her and her husband’s initials embroidered into the train and we just hope that if anyone recognises the distinguishable design for sale on websites or social media, that they ­report it to the police.” Ms Bartucca, who wore the dress in March, 2014, says she has been devastated by its theft. “It’s such a sentimental thing; my family and the J’Aton boys have been checking the internet daily in the hopes that we will see it for sale,” she said. “I had dreams of using the fabric from it for my children’s christening gowns, and even framing a section of the fabric for our home. “[The thieves] definitely knew what they were doing. As a former fashion buyer, I was surprised how much they knew — what they left behind was just as telling as what they took. “They could tell the difference between real and fake jewellery, they left certain shoe brands behind and obviously went straight for the J’Aton dress, which was covered in tissue paper and in a white box at the top of the wardrobe.” Police said they were investigating whether the burglary was in relation to another in the same area.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/white-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/black-formal-dresses

I'm from the land of candy, which is as rare as gold. I'm from the land where fruits are our desserts and rice is a must. I'm from the land where cheese is a treat and milk is banned. I'm from the land where determination is my Parliament Building, The Library is my City Hall, Technology is my Plaza, And Music is my Town Square. I'm from the land where Math is our School, Lucy Maud Montgomery is our teacher, And Creativity are our Artists. I'm from the land of pine-smelling air and strokes of sunburn. Where laughter is heard at every corner. I'm from the land of a Dominating Dad and a Mature Mom. I'm from the land of a Busy Brother whom is somewhat caring. I'm from the land which changes constantly, Hot and Cold, And is always forgetful. I'm from the land where Pheonix Wright is our King and Meg Cabot is our Princess. I'm from the land where friends are our special jewels, And family is priceless. I'm from the land where my valuables are my memories And I'm still collecting them.

I sit aligned with all you others, Sameness in sync, no flaw seen. Go down the line and you will come to me, The one with the jubilant melody floating from a wind chime that sings nothing but serenity. Every brick in place, the lawn Evergreen. The vision never looked so clean. My door is clenched shut, unmoving. You may look, but not come inside. For the interior walls withhold ancient echoes made of both whispers and screams. The mirrors are blurred. Ghostly flames swallow the rooms, feasting on moments fine as china, devouring precious valuables. I’m afraid the smoke will run for the chimney spilling what lies behind drawn shades. I do not wish to be a sight in the window, Looking outward from this hidden suburbia Longing to be free. In time, I’ll open the door. It may be a minute or two, Perhaps even three. For now, my red roses will stay masked behind the white picket fence and I’ll let people believe. They’ll admire, eyes alight, and leisurely stride by thinking I have nothing to hide.

Hidden Suburbia
Whilst I'm standing still over this hill, I think of moments in life that gave me a thrill, But I remember the pain and I remember the chill, Of the cold dampened heart's that never seem to spill, Like the world's in one convention and I'm outside looking in, I grin, whilst i use these forces buried within, To show people in verse what I mean, Before the planet isn't green, Before the seas collapsed and wind is no longer a breeze, We freeze in an ice block, tick, tock, tick, tock, we stopped the clock, But nobody hears me so everyone listen up, Stop what you're doing and please raise a cup, For stopping global warming and extinction of animals, because we're all valuables on this tiny spec of galaxies, yet governments plan strategies, To profit from tragedies, they keep us all living in fantasies, but strike in catastrophes, So let's help our families and all become one, Before we've got none and everything we feel has gone, Putting a bet on the apocalypse, odds are ten to none !!!

Lyrical speech
You know when you meet someone and they fit perfectly into your life and you just want to keep them forever. There are few of these people like that. That will accept you, that have your sense of humor, that don’t care if you’re having a bad hair day, or year. They make you smile, laugh, cheer you up when you feel like nothing can. They accept you unconditionally and are the first to laugh at you when you do something stupid. And you never appreciate them until they have drifted off into their own lives. But I want to appreciate them now. They keep me going when I feel like I can’t anymore. They are my sanity in the insanity of the world. People who don’t even know how valuable they are.

appreciate the valuables
Randy was a roach Of the american cockroach variety He was a deep brown and had a sickly shine To his wings and antennae And he studied both of us From a perch in our suitcase In my girlfriend's East Harlem apartment In the early hours of a sunday morning **** it! Get it out of the suitcase!" My girlfriend yelled Flailing her arms As Randy reclined on our valuables His antennae twitching As in most crisis I hesitated And Randy burrowed into the suitcase Past the underwear, collard shirts, and sunscreen I dug in a frenzy Rending my girlfriend's meticulous packing plan And scattering clothes about All in the name of meaningless destruction But I couldn't find Randy "He's probably in the collar of one of your shirts, or in a pair of my shoes" My girlfriend speculated And I started shaking the clothes wildly about the room Wanting more than anything to extinguish Randy's life To sterilize our newfound stowaways presence But I never found him And Randy boarded the plane with us to ***** Cana While our plane painted dizzying contrails over the ocean We speculated about Randy's Most likely devious activities "I bet he's eating the granola bars under my bikinis" "I bet there is more than one in there" "Maybe he's dead?" "I bet he's laying eggs" We both pondered over the fact that Randy could be Rhonda And that we would open the suitcase to a scattering of near microscopic progeny And we clutched each other in the cold, recycled air of the cabin When we got to the room Past all the tin shacks and open air bars Where the locals sat in plastic lawn chairs Staring at the tourist shuttles That carted pale skin behind tinted windows To decadently decorated rooms where the towels were folded into swans We opened the bag to see if Randy Had surfaced, died, or multiplied But Randy was no where to be seen , a phantom We unpacked everything under the utmost scrutiny Not trusting any of the items we had packed so lovingly and repacked Shaking cover ups and tee shirts like the wind shakes the leaves in autumn But he never presented himself And we saw none of his foul brood We even unzipped the lining But Randy had simply vanished Evaporating into the humid, tropical air I like to think that Randy is somewhere on the island still That he has impregnated or has been impregnated That he spends his days under the intense sun And cottony wisps of clouds Sipping Presidente Sitting under an umbrella made of dried palm fronds Happy to be away from the honking horns and crowded subways Just like we were

Three early birds broke the flying record today, Under a ball of yellow light and sky of white cobwebs, Uphill, amidst a godforsaken town, At the far end of the deserted residential area, In front of our binned and bagged house, On the peach tiles of our topsy-turvy garage, Inside a scroungy cardboard box, Between the wasted space and rotten nest made of broom, Where they left their bodies mushy and misshapen, Where a colony of red ants now celebrate for a carrion feast. They flew higher than any in their kind could ever reach, That they went straight to heaven, Early for their embellished feathers and wings, Early for their final cartilages, Early for their full-grown beak and claws, Early for their black, beady eyes, Early for their last rites, Yet for us to forecast the bad news, Yet for us to get off of our plastic chairs of indifference, Yet for us to drop our glasses of lemon juice and inattention, Yet for us to fumble outdoor and crash the ceremony, Yet for us to solve the mystery, Of whether the ball of yellow light radiated enough to fry, That the three early birds had to fly the coop to oasis; Of whether our mother's frenzy gave a cold welcome, That the three early birds had to say goodbye when she tossed the box out; Of whether I am to blame for yesterday's miracle Of finding their home attached to the open bottom of our air-conditioner, Which turned into a tragedy of a falling baby out of excitement, That the three early birds felt like it was time to join their fourth sibling once again. Indeed, too early For the three siblings endowed with a mother and a father, For mankind is blessed enough to have such a thing as family, Who claimed the three early ones before the garbage does, Who could've been proud parents in the future, For witnessing the becoming of their three youngs Who came out too soon, Who were traceless of eggshells, Who never knew a father, Who were ****** enough to even be abandoned by a mother, Who never knew if she even came back for them, Who broke the flying record. Indeed, too early. After days of packing up sentiments, Donating valuables, Throwing away memories, And leaving behind possessions, I thought, for a moment, We could save something But we couldn't.

Sands slip through my fingers, sun scorched with dried blood staining the palm where I wiped the blade. I did not bleed. I did not bat my eyes when his severed limb flew past my face. My eyes opened wider and tasted victory more intently than my screams vanquished his memory. I thought it was but an apparition on the sands miles past; a haunting, a demon, a scorned lover back for revenge now that I made off with valuables: the fastest steed, the cave within me where he stored his treasure when he pleased. Thus when he appeared, when he charged by foot and outstretched his arms (much smaller from my new height) feebly, weakly to end me first, so he could brag to the village, "She is like the women who believe they can fly." I do fly to my sword, my hand unsheathes the blazing boiling metal. With one sharp ting I watch his arm and the tiny dagger sail across the desert and settle atop the sand, gently gracefully, unlike his living, boasting words would have wanted. To the man who brought destruction in the depths, where coolness and faithful waters dripped down the walls; where no one dared near for fear of the One who is near me. They will say warrior was born of ruins. If they ask me, I will say, "Warrior is born of defeat no more."

death in the desert
I'm sort of sick Of hating you But loving you is too cliche I'm just a bit over Ignoring you But talking is overrated I'm so far past Writing you poetry This is the exception I'm just a bit beyond Trying to get you Because I'd hate to lose you I'm not one for valuables As valuables are stolen And it breaks my heart Should I ever get you The thief would theive The robber would rob The hitman would hit The assassin, assassinate The seductress, ****** And I would lose you As I lose everything else So I won't have you at all Because I'm above liking your eyes No matter how they shine When you laugh so brightly I'm not one to treat you right Though I would hold the doors And take the bill I'm too good to watch you While I memorize the words You say in your own little way I'm to great for your problems But if you confided in me I'd be your greatest ally And I'm far too good for these tears Because I've not lied about a single thing Not a single thing I've written here

mud from the cemetery everyday on his boots and clothing and everyday he'd wash the shovels muddy water like a river muddy red waters the graves are dug deep like a cliché six feet under too small for a back *** so down he jumps digging deeper from cemetery to cemetery in rain or by moonlight he works hard every night till his calluses bleed a muddy white truck and muddy wooden handled tools the perfect cover you'd think he worked there he scopes the obits looking for fresh funerals he prefers meat on the bones there's no profit in grave robbing no one is buried wearing valuables and there's no market for dead body parts he just likes the smell of formaldehyde the vacated looks on their faces and the occasional surprise when he finds one with open eyes

The Eyes Have It
She wore gloves, long, cotton swan's necks which she stole from the fields outside Baltimore, plucked from the brown fingers that wore the soil to dust. She wore gloves, a white pretense of elegance, to hide her dainty, fingers of a lady who had never labored a day in her life. Or so he supposed. She wore gloves, he'd soon discover, to masque the bleeding from nights spent battling a linguistic war with her old typewriter. She wore gloves, white lies that they were, to protect her only valuables from being taken from her or doomed to the fate of being held in another's. She wore gloves, never took them off, as her one and only disguise. For who would publish lofty, luxurious paragraphs when tainted by the pronoun her?

The glory of heaven fills my heart, a heaven of heavens; The glory of all glories. A city whose builder and maker is jehovah. A home filled with treasure of treasures. A kingdom whose gates and stones are made of gold. A palace where flowers dwell in glory. A city where neither pain nor sorrow exists. A glory not compared to the things of this world. A city of all valuables. A refinery where the spirit of man is refined in the glory of God. Who can ascend into the hill of the lord and access his glory? Who can stand in his holy palace and feel his glory? He that have a clean and pure heart. He whose hands are not soiled in evil. He that speaks no guile with his mouth. He whom the lord inputeth no iniquity. He whose soul is not lifted up in vain glory. Behold, a city so wounderful, a home of other homes, a palace from which palace are born. Let the glory of his kingdom engulf me, and grant me entrance to it's beauties. Until then, when there shall be no more earth. When all that matters now matters no more; the glory of this kingdom shall preserve me, keep me blameless until his coming; when his glory shall shine upon me, and l be lifted up above the sky.

The Glory Of Heaven
It is for the reason we think and think and think, That the finishing line seems to shrink and shrink and shrink. Their trophies and our consolation prizes, we always link To the faces of where it matters not if we stink. We ***** and ***** but never look; Only offer our eyes to reference books, Pay our lives to learn how they sit and smile and dress and cook, When we could carve out crafts of our own on hippocampus walls to hook. Charts and charts of sound waves go farther than needed into the ear, But in this statistic, there are more of those which we are deaf to hear. Then we wonder, perhaps they will listen if we talk our fear through beer. What we cannot, we must preach, so in the morning it’ll all be clear. Putting on several mouths, sincerity seldomly salivates in our tongues. And all we ever scream about, we let clump and clog in our lungs. Our voices, we swallow, then verbalize universal dung. Is that easier than to allow our singularity be hung? To possess such delicate bones under thick coats of flesh and skin, One little sting, we crumble as if our framework isn't as fortified as tin. But sometimes when too stung, we rigidify and our cutis turns lean. Our pores, too open, that even what doesn't exist, we welcome in. And so, we stick to our lifelong work of homemade bibles, And add commandments every time we build stables, Along with valuables from the places in people’s fables. Only us can decide to make room for new tables.

A cartoonish grim woman in aft cabin was a harlequin let umbrage squash her there a known charter while she'd smoke in bed her aroma did permeate her rise to eat breakfast a morning prepared for sore again only technical her rouse indeed tripped her smoke alarm and went unheeded to another deck till open bar decided her fate while her interest there was crickety where love is deep in the sea their golden groves were bubbles and waves while they brim with valuables onboard did spill and they'd evoke near me without their calling when aquanauts will buck up gear then they really sever their troves below that really soften thine eyes where the air is moist and ye suit there so well I can tell you I am picky today and defray your kind.

TRUST
A living skin, a skein of green briars where a half-hinged door is wagged by the wind Good-natured god, decay’s stigmata-stained spires nettles paint the stairs splotch patterned, olive skinned Glass window shards grab a slip of silk curtain pick-pocket beetles engrave brute luck broadside Chimney thrushes cabined in ash are certain cynicism’s growing sums are rectified Blue jays opine time’s cuckoo clock mocking worms ply enormous copses, scrawl casts of clay Autumn gusts and rains whirl detritus stocking flung colors Pollocked, clutter’s chaos array Hours dissolve the acorns and soft seeds scatter as grasses grown tall have turned light yellow architecture’s flourishes are picked off crumbled valuables filched and turned to dirt tumult’s passages dug the driveway’s trough carrion feeders pull black quills from their shirt slugs smear a rainbow trail and mice scurry collapsed walls fall to the slush of leaf slurry

Entropy's House
i probably shouldnt be saying this but i really  can't resist: if we were to suffocate right here in this velvetly air, i probably wouldn't even care we would watch our things, our posessions, our valuables float into the atmosphere as we continue to breathe in the sulfur, ladies and gentleman, prepare to say your last prayer we were designed to go this way, i swear is this really what it takes to make us feel human? is this really what it takes to make us feel alive? i don't know why i'd rather die than to hang on every word like it was your last i really don't mean to sound like such a bother but it's just that i can't seem to figure out why i even bother. and hey, everybody has those days and everybody has those nights like the ones where i lay staring at the ceiling til i feel like i might stop breathing because i don't know who to call at 3 in the morning because i know your sleep is more important because the only trace of "i love you" can be found underneath your finger nails, i can still remember your breathing your skinfolds, the tiny little details but each dig feels sharper than the last because i don't like to write in the last few pages of my notebook because i actually don't want my story to end but here we are we're dying in the street we're struggling to breath and i can't feel my heart beat that's what i wanted, right?

I am nothing without someone who can make me into something. Valuables aren't valuable unless the owner grants it value, And so I am worth nothing, Because my owners have deemed it so. They own my heart, My soul, My allegiance, But they throw it around like it's disposable. And so, It is. My disposable soul will gladly destroy itself for their whims, Because they own me, And they give me value.

Ego-trip
Earth is a pretty Messed up equation Of quite hastily Made up solution. We are but numbers Of different values Every sign matters In this set of issues. Many were born real Physiques built evenly Few quite look odd and Imaginary. Some are but factors Serving evil's loots Denominators Of ungodly roots. There are radicals Who've got point of view So are rationals To speak a word or two. We're discriminant To other religions Differential rant To other opinions. Can't we simplify This complex squirm And instead unify To a common term? We're just variables Merely dependent On the valuables Of our environment. We were given one To be shared by all Equality's gone And this is our call.
