The world's gone mad but my mind is made up. Time to let ya'll into the darkroom of my mind, A place where I'm the referee of a poetic world cup. This is where I am creative even though I'm blind Don't get me wrong I am not leaving from town. No more radio or TV saturated with all the sad news, I have got enough breaking news of my very own... Breaking to me each and every moment as it brews. Come and meet the hard drive of my creative doom, That contains my beautiful and liberated mind. Welcome to my one bright side I call my darkroom, It's a place that's so special, I reckon it's one of a kind. You have to know that I always act blind but I see. In my mind, I can walk stack naked and levitate. My mind is where I remain totally black and free. Come join me set my poetic dial and help me activate, The code that will outshine any power on this earth. My mind is where I live and where nobody has access, Here I can run a poetic marathon without taking a breath, Call it my playground and intellectual fortress. My mind is deep, a place of absolute calm and refuge, Somewhere I will always see as the final frontier. It is dangerous and toxic like a nuclear centrifuge. In there, I am all alert and vigilant like a soldier. My mind is a darkroom where I give birth to new ideas. It is a vessel and place in which I do magic with letters. It is my holy land of thoughts, my own creative Judea, Where each idea is sacred and light as bird feathers. Welcome to the epicenter of my creative mind. This is where I turn letters into spoken words A front line of creativity where no one leaves behind. Come and see where all words become useful swords. My mind produces powerful words like some light beams... Courageous and powerful words for extra motivation. Spoken Words that will light up people's faded dreams. Now you know that up in my mind are no limitation, There exists an enormous capacity of time and space. Welcome one, welcome all to the darkroom of my mind Take a seat and be calm, be quiet this is my place For this here is my personal creative post of command. www.poemhunter.com/IvanBrookssr #Vanguard-poetry23 #IvanBrookspoetry twitter @ivanclappers @Bassapoet

Darkroom Of My Mind

if you drill down, past the hair, flesh and bone. into my mind where the ego and id  reside. then turn to the left, and follow the i.q. down the alley, you will find a place. where on thrones of cogitating thoughts, king big questions asked, reigns in conjunction, with, queen yet unanswered. they watch with interest benign, over a field of  an eternal tourney, split roughly down the middle by a chasm quite wide. on one side of the gorge is arrayed, the banners of philosophy. at the vanguard, the epistemological knights; plato, descartes, ferrier, kant, hume,spinoza and bosanquet. the major forces ride beneath the banners, of their schools of thought. followed by the lesser lights, and those, obscure or forgotten, who walk at the rear,carrying the gear and to set the tent poles. as to the other side, that is given to, the seminaries of religion; bhuddism, taoism, islam, hindu, juche, rastafarian, sikh, diasporic, parsis, tenrikyo, judaism and christianity with all its clans. they array themselves in cadres, according to belief. and to the rear, there rides, an interesting guerilla band, of intertestemantals, about 3 or 4 hundred years wide. these are the few who are  accounted for, when god spoke nothing, or perhaps a lot but the message just got lost. they number in their disparate clan, alexander the great, ptolemy, the hellanic masses, seluecids, maccabeans, hasmoeans and pompey the great, not all, but the noteworthy. across the divide, by arrowing thought were fought rallies of acumen and battles of wit and occasionally, a persipacious fire was lit. but there is one more player, to mention. apathy, the great hulking ****** who for want of gumption, and get up and go, sat crouched, (quite uncomfortably so) on a spire. made of mediocracy, cemented by woe, in the iddle of the rifted abyss. unable to decide with which team to go.

"Have you ever sailed across an ocean, Donald? On a sail boat surrounded by sea with no land in sight. Without even the possibility of sighting land for days to come. To stand at the helm of your destiny. I want that, one more time. I want to be in the Piazza Del Campo in Sienna. To feel the surge as ten race horses go thundering by. I want another meal in Paris, at L'Ambroisie in the Place Des Vosges. I want another bottle of wine. And then another. I want the warmth of a women in the cool set of sheets. One more night of jazz at the Vanguard. I want to stand on summits and smoke cubans and feel the sun on my face for as long as I can. Walk on the wall again. Climb the tower. Ride the river. Stare at the frescoes. I want to sit in the garden and read one more good book. Most of all I want to sleep. I want to sleep like I slept when I was a boy. Give me that. Just one time. That's why I won't allow that punk out there to get the best of me, let alone the last of me."

Raymond Reddington
The world belongs to the nocturnal, the ever present reflexive vanguard whose presence elicits attention, be it negative or positive. The crawl to a standstill, the distractions, the regrets: These are as naught to those whose focus supplants physical duress. Success is the only road, the path to failure can only be trod by idle feet, hot coals to the promised kingdom of recognition and praise, this must be traversed at all lengths, at all levels, by all means: Take it. Hatred or envy does not compare to the rush of achievement, real effort brought to fruition. Be not afraid to raise your expectations, be afraid that they never rise. Most of all, love unashamedly and furiously as if no one could weigh in, the universe bends to the warrior's perspective

Nocturnal Admissions
Your family will always be your first line of defense. If you don't have family then your independence shall be your second. But if you have obtained a lover let them be your shield and you the sword. Because a Sword is nothing without a Shield.

The Vanguard Between the Sword and Shield
The vale of creating souls forsaken my vows, Descend the nebulous hammer upon my names, To leash the Moirae to command Eros's bow, Here lies the broken scroll writ in dying flames. Round the earth trod Hade's iron red needs, Upon the vanguard of the auric age to come, Fear not! For new blooms nap in fertile seeds, Smash thy jolly jugs and drink thy *** Fill the rift of every forge with molten ore, Tis unreal till life illustrate the drying golds, Against the ethereal anvil of ancient lore, Which knights in fealty do Aphrodite hold?

Amorphous Blight
The candle on the window was a-flickering, Struggling to draw its light from the waning moon, With the flames, the east wind was playing, There as her proud vanguard, already waiting. The crone herself had arrived at last, With the clouds promising rain hard on her heels, Those clouds were mimicking the sharp waves of her stormy hair, And the spirits were all dancing with the thinning veil. All raised their glasses to welcome the crone, All revered the dark mother, whose might could never be surpassed. They all knew that now they could reap what they had sown, And sit by the hearth as the winds howled past.

Extrapolating time as distance, the last 1000 million years, which is the age of our oldest known rocks, is represented by the distance from here to roughly, 3 city blocks distant. For instance: Mankind rose from all fours just 60m down the road… and Christ was born just 60cm away. This allows the enormity of time to gain credence in the capacity of man to visualize…especially difficult considering the limitation of humankind’s puny lifetime duration of just under 100 years. But I beseech you… consider the advancement of humanity in that incredibly short span of his existence as a species. From cave to skyscraper From raw bones to haute cuisine. From jumping a metre in the air to manufacturing and implementing a successful research exploration to incredibly distant Mars. From the snarl of wrath to an intricate debate on advanced mathematics From faltering first step to Ferrari. What other species on earth, or as far as we know, anywhere else in the universe… has made progress at this astonishing rate? What other creature exhibits the drive and compulsion to excel and succeed? What other creature exhibits the variance betwixt an expression of love in eloquent poetry and a declaration of outright, murderous warfare… to his fellow man? What other creature has the capacity for infinite creation and absolute destruction? What other creature even considers these absolutes? We humans are the vanguard and promise of tomorrow. We have the responsibility squarely, on our shoulders…to endure, to succeed. Marshal Gebbie © 2012 Marshal Gebbie

there is a glacier partially concealed melting from a climactic climate shift revealing a reality congealed by revolt rebels burdened with a philosophy that elevates humanity insisting we will not grovel before a vain messiah espousing erroneous iterations of ideology will the human race permit the iceberg to dissolve as vapid reformist rhetoric inundates our political consciousness with pragmatic progressivism or will we rise in resistance with the radicals fists clenched in protest and hands outstretched to one another rather than lifted high in praise to a savior as we witness the glacier solidify once more as CO2 perforates our atmosphere with heady highs and noxious toxins will we succumb like dumbfounded addicts intoxicated by inoculation consuming the opiated semantics of charismatic personas or will we challenge the corrupt with our wits about us facing the sobering corporate corporeality with the pride of lions facing a den of thieves abandon the chosen champion of the vanguard party we stand hand-in-hand 7 billion sisters and brothers in an anthemic chorus of solidarity that shakes the bastions of the enthroned with the resounding shouts of perseverance in our non-compliant defiance our manifestos are written in the blood sweat and tears we've shed for this dream deferred and we will not be the silent majority anymore the masque of anarchy is ours to share will we wear its visage or will hell freeze over before we choose freedom over happiness

Chant of the Necromancers
Vanguard snows blanket Cougar Mountain sublimity In the ashen distance between contrasts of white on white , just above the disappearing Majestic  alpine  timberline Painterly allusions cast a weary and elusive amity, distinctive premonitions adrift driven before the wind The wayfaring  wolf  looks back, wind  broken ,   beset a cold and lonely peace ***Swarthy  paw  prints sink  deeply into  the  will  to  be*** fiercely stirring purpose feral  awareness  keen existence steadfast perseverance  unwavering Driven  by  the  power  of  love                                                                                         wild  is  the  wind                                                                                          giving  thanks

The wayfaring wolf
I can sense the vanguard of your breath colliding along the rarely prepared front lines parading across the nape of my neck. Hovering above the black moon tattoo I got when my eyes were filled with factory smoke from times a grandfather only knows and my mind had been chaotically mute for centuries. Lovers in the young West stalked by dust bowl witnesses and men who have their own idea of the Law. Scatter ourselves upon the prairies dandelion perfume among the wind and pray our mothers never know.

Dandelion.
Cross over the front lines. Take siege to the battle field. Cross fire. **** Take hold of your comrades hand. Take hold of their glass eyes, their dead hearts. Weep. move on. Wrench the gun from a fallen brother. The ******** will pay. Take aim. TAKE AIM! push forward. Crawl beneath the barbed wire, through the mud, through the filth, through the blood. Cover your face. Close your eyes. Don't breath in. the mustard gas kills. Take their trenches. STAB with your bayonet. Slash with your dagger. They are the enemy, evil. Resist with every fiber of your being. Fight like a trapped dog. Be shot. Be stabbed. die

You are the Vanguard
. *pale bright yellow infringes just beneath shadowed drift of lingering snow as if a nascent smoldering flickers breathlessly gasping for light penetrating cracks on whiter opaque wondrously drawn skywards 'neath an unseen sky so far away revealing an obscure warmth in blossoming will tomorrows vanguard unfolding beneath a blanket that only grows deeper over the long winter night  a darkest silence borne beyond frozen time layered depths in the magic of a moment, the clouds let the wind stir the fickle sun's yellow paint brush and like an burgeoning embryo, a reclusive hope bursts forth metamorphosis within an all encasing hidden evolution the wind whispers an audible sigh; a sole daffodil peeks out from enveloping darkness,   casting out the memory                a beautiful light hidden within                          words in the wind*         ...

When I was two I was told What to do. When to sleep, When to eat, Sometimes When to pooh. That's okay, In fact, it's cool, I was two, Not yet in school. I can't dismiss That life of bliss. When I turned six I started school; For sixteen years I followed rules. I got Qualified, I got Certified, I got Bone Fide, I shoulda been Beatified. I did what I was told. I was sold. I enjoyed Middle-class life, Rising early, Then late at night. Worked for the man As best I can; Reaped rewards, Came out unscarred Because I was A rules vanguard. I'm older now, There's no rules, So don't tell me What to do. But, there's one thing I'll tell you. Success isn't measured In cars and homes (there's some success in chromosomes), Just follow rules To your advantage; You're not weak, It shows your courage. Secure the best For your life's voyage. Now, That I'm sixty-two, Say what you want, I'm deaf to you.

Don't Tell Me What To Do
As a resident of hope village be very thankful - If for breakfast you have just a cup of water, Say a big prayer to Baba and be very grateful. Know ye that someday things will get better! When stock in Hope Village, be very grateful! I once lived there and boy, life wasn't so easy, I remember how I would look so very sorrowful, Using a bowl of water to shave, that's crazy! Especially when I used old T-shirt as towel, And rotated an umbrella as part of my roofing life was hard but hope was on another level, I knew that answer to my prayers was coming. Despite the fact that I lived in abject poverty- Hope made my condition seemed less pathetic - All my situation was under God's own authority, And my goals and objectives were authentic. Never give up, hardship is only a transit camp. One day your rescue Angel will come souring, With solutions illuminated with a bright lamp- Lights you'll always need as you go hustling! To the residents of Hope village, never despair- If wind of change is yet to blow in your direction, Stay strong Hope village, real rescue is in the air, It surely will if the Almighty is your connection. I see you are a resilient bunch, so be very strong! Though trials will come, hold on and be resolute, Blessing for those with deep hope never goes wrong, From a veteran of the movement, I say a big salute! I pray you will keep to the fundamentals of hustle - Know that on that very special day of God's reckoning, Your stars will dance to success' beat, not struggle, And the village's talking drums will echo your blessing. Everyone far and near will know reward time has come. People of hope village, come get your reward for courage, Say goodbye to yesterday and say to tomorrow, welcome! Soon, your last sight of the mango trees in your village- Will be a breathtaking thirty five thousand feet far below. As the white magic bird climbs hosting your dusty heels, Sad faces will say bye and friendly faces will say hello. There you'll know how the answers to your prayers feels! Someday you will return as a great hero to your village, To lament on the audacity of hope and your very own story - With motivational messages to give everyone some courage, Poverty will no longer be the main topic, it'll be history ! #Vanguard-poetry23 twitter @ivanclappers

On a moonlit night, when the sky seemed red A knight was found,putting a thorny rose, on a firefly's bed A knight so brave, a hero, who once fought for his land Yet,the one, he cherished most, withered in his own hand It was, as if, a love with a fairytale He sought to offer his life,to simply draw her in a veil He thought, he knew, it was all, but a fiction in his mind Yet,he crossed countless rivers,searching for an exit so kind Such a dazzling light in a place so dark Having a dance of death, in a forbidden park He searched and searched for an eternal eternity Yet,he couldn’t find, even a beginning of desired destiny He did all, that a mortal could Even so, he couldn’t find what was misunderstood The eyes seemed to deceive, as he saw his firefly in the graveyard The sky began to cry, as he ran towards her, leaving behind his vanguard Even, if, it was, all a lie,he only wanted to see a glimpse of her light A light so bright, that could made him the nation's knight The graveyard turned into the heaven's garden as they embraced each-other A garden bloomed with roses and dahlias,where butterflies danced without a bother A sky so imagery, with such a gentle breeze A sun so warm,lying under the shade of fruitful trees Tiny chirping birds, played and sang all day-long Perhaps,this was the place,where she could belong They spent an eternity in such a brief of time In a graveyard so beautiful, as if living in a rhyme Refusing to let the river flow,they spent the happiest while Untill the knight,saw a thorny rose, from a thousand mile The heavenly sky began to embrace night, as dark clouds began to form They knew,it was time,bading farewell,to their little dorm Yet,they embraced the museum of destiny while praparing to leave with a smile When the knight, for the last time,looked at the thorny rose,from a thousand mile On a moonlit night, with a sky so red A knight was found lying beside a sparking bed As vision began to fail, he held onto his crest When the firefly was seen,lying on his chest In their own bed, they lied,beside each-other, peacefully forever Perhaps,this time,happiness reached them,without falling in the slumber May the birds,together, for eternal, cross boundless,only journeying forward Untill the end of all,yet none, living among the fireflies,a story, about "love in a graveyard"..

Emerging from a distant dust-up, A lone rider approaches on horse. The clip-clop gallop grows, The panting animal is alarming, Sweat paints and streaks down The dark hide. The rider wears a bandana Over mouth and nose, Beneath a once white hat. His clothes are covered with the trail. Next, he's in the leather tub With suds from chest to hair, Shaving cream covering his face, Mirror in one hand, Probably a gun on the floor of the tub. Eyes and nose poking through the foam. Later, we see the clean, pressed black shirt From the back, outlining shoulders we know Have been busy righting wrongs. He puts a cockey tilt to his hat and pivots With a Parodi between his clean, straight teeth. The champion. The underdog vanguard. Clint.

Pale Rider
All through the woodwork lesson and through a double dose of maths, he thinks of her, the kiss on the sports field, the brushing of his lips on hers. He'd almost cut his finger on a saw, being preoccupied with thoughts of her, her eyes through glasses, the innocence of lilies about her, the way she looked so surprised, he having kissed her.  Not planned, no he didn’t plan the kiss, he was just going to talk with her, get to know her more and better, when the impulse to kiss, over came him, as if some rarely seen fish of the sea had drawn him into depths he'd not known. He sits on the school bus, got on before she had, looks out the window, shy of seeing her, now wondering what she'd say after that kiss, her reaction. Trevor says softly something about the Frump, he doesn't turn, looks at the kids waiting to get on the bus, excited, engaged in their conversations, laughing. He is aware, that she may be on the bus now, he is so self obsessed, he can hear his heart beat, thump through his chest. Trevor next to him, talking across the aisle, says something about her, but he isn’t listening, stares out. He feels as if he's under a microscope, eyes gawking at him, words around him. Maybe others saw the kiss? He didn’t think about that, never gave it thought. The radio is on, the music blares, some one is singing about love and missing her. He relaxes as the bus move off, senses no one is aware of the kiss, no talk, or chatter of it. Even Trevor, who is the vanguard of gossip, says nothing about that at all. John is aware she sits across the aisle, a little bit back. He could possibly see her, if he glanced over the top of his seat, but he doesn't, he looks at the passing scene, trees, hedges, fields, cottages. He tries to calm his beating heart, the thump seems almost audible, as if the whole bus can hear its thump.   He closes his eyes and thinks of her, the lips kissed, the eyes behind her spectacles, her mouth, the way her words were stilled by his kiss, were drenched in her ****** mouth; he had touched her, too. His hand had soft touched her arm, drew her body closer to him. She smelt of countryside, air, and hay and fields. Her lips there were feather soft; he could have slept there, lay there, brushed the lips, as if a red   butterfly had landed, sought refreshment. He reruns the kiss, in his head, plays it over and over. She is there just across the way; he can almost sense her eyes on him, like feelers reaching over the seats to touch him. He opens his eyes, Trevor has football cards in his inky hands, he talks of this player and that, that football team and this, but all John can think on is the butterfly landing kiss.

BUTTERFLY LANDING KISS.
All through the woodwork lesson and through a double dose of maths, he thinks of her, the kiss on the sports field, the brushing of his lips on hers. He'd almost cut his finger on a saw, being preoccupied with thoughts of her, her eyes through glasses, the innocence of lilies about her, the way she looked so surprised, he having kissed her.  Not planned, no he didn’t plan the kiss, he was just going to talk with her, get to know her more and better, when the impulse to kiss, over came him, as if some rarely seen fish of the sea had drawn him into depths he'd not known. He sits on the school bus, got on before she had, looks out the window, shy of seeing her, now wondering what she'd say after that kiss, her reaction. Trevor says softly something about the Frump, he doesn't turn, looks at the kids waiting to get on the bus, excited, engaged in their conversations, laughing. He is aware, that she may be on the bus now, he is so self obsessed, he can hear his heart beat, thump through his chest. Trevor next to him, talking across the aisle, says something about her, but he isn’t listening, stares out. He feels as if he's under a microscope, eyes gawking at him, words around him.

"I'm in love with broken. The weak, the powerless, Seizable. I want to help.           Not them, myself. "Usage," A verb. A synonym for life. An alias for Marshall. ___________________________________________________ Sparked by a girl I was eyeing at the Vanguard performance. She was beautiful with pale skin and dark hair. Her thigh gap was as large as possible. Aside from the Jews in the Holocaust, she was one of the skinniest people I've seen. God. What the hell. Why must they all be broken?"

Birdy, mind your ears: my howls dash the desert’s edge My passing gusts will matt your feathers fair and faint And scratch your eyes of liquid soul with grainy kiss And gentle downy is unsuited for the desert’s bipolar breadth Accompanied by what I fear is desperate, decrepit depth Yet you flutter further in the flats, breaching the jagged heart-planes Doleful dabs of curt dismay smatter some sodden planes The wrenching, soaked, woolly pelt fumbles at the edge And he hopelessly attempts to slow his slide into the depths The depths ****** in dew to make heaving paws faint Paws drowning in imbued imbalance: my broken flooded breadth Washed out and faded just short of amber kiss Who does he yowl at night to kiss? A range of mismatched capricious planes Breath for miles of biome breadth Between each bound a splitting edge As fate would weave, his heart is faint And craves impassioned, tender depth Perhaps the hiemal hillsides bear a greater, sanguine depth Beneath the snow are pines to smell, daffodils to kiss Amid the pungent, frigid, fear the air contains a faint Hint of something sweeter there, buried in the planes And when the blunt ice trickles warm, beneath the caustic edge A range of life of a new kind: unbeguiling breadth Who forsaw the vanguard hunch of birds and bears for breadth? Not I believed that birds could dive in deserts and find depth Not I believed that bears could whet love from sharp edge Not I believed, thus almost missed, fate’s gentle ghostly kiss Not I believed and thus I blew dark clouds across the planes Not I believed in him, thus it was I who was so faint And in the meadows lions crawl and crocodiles faint And happily, with wherewithal, the boa to gaur breadth All coexist in mystery perplexing on placid planes Burrowing through sand and snow, birds and bears find depth Jumbled earth and tumbled thoughts, a misty morning kiss Stitches the bipolar planes and hems the obscure edge Across the crystal planes you see their trusting dives to depths The bird’s faint singing drifts through waves as it explores the breadth The bear’s protective kisses peek just beyond the edge

I can only hold my breath so long, Before the sirens echo around me Yet asphyxiation seems so wrong How can you love what you refuse to see, Oh well, hold on to whatever will get you through, what ever makes you belong Who do you love? I can see through, to ya love, Who do you love? Do you love me? OR just the thought of me? I think the latter is the matter, The problem in your skin, Take your head, and make it spin. Roll it off your neck Blow the Job you do so ‘well’ I mean what the heck **** your toes, burn in hell Because from the bottom of your soul you’re a soiled mess A cluster **** of paranoia and stress Using and digging like a poor and dying ***** Seeing shadows play lamp light out across your floor. Letting go takes a step forward, On beaches of brighter days, sun burning your flesh In its indifferent rays. What puts a folded heart inside a lovers hands? The anti-gravity that tells you to stay the hell away from me. Depravity in your shallow soul-called-cavity makes this man Truly understand. Letting go takes time, a focus unlike anything. Letting go takes love, that burns the candle of hate TO emaciate, the marrow that creates blood for your mind so narrow. Stung and dumb, and young and fake You have no more love to take— Not from me or the love locked in that position, You and I are atomic fission Listen, You are my friend—you’re misunderstood But your heart is infected with pain and to heal it should Give up on the strings dripping poison into it’s chambers Keep testing me, Keep ingesting me, Keep molesting me, Just protect your situation Waste that carnation Take your mental vacation, But as you push aside the things you don’t want I’ll be out to war, the vanguard Avant. I can stop a train, clocking 80miles-per-hour But your hairs not long enough to save you from your tower. That rises as I fall, I can’t take the speed it’s moving at, Though honestly, for you, I’d never stop the train. Because you need to grow into a real life, Away from the fantasy of your ignorant head So you can be a stay at home wife So you can **** in bed, And be divorced for trying so hard, Even when your hubby went limp And once you’re truly jarred You’ll realize that you are just a shrimp Headless into cock-tail, Your chitin shell so frail

Letting Go
