"voluble" poems
Miscommunication serendipity, anticipation, blurred reality - lost in the dialect of a dream, in pursuit of Love find callous irony; subversion of desire what's it all about? to know and be known. Mere seconds of scrutiny inferior, I am shown. Her appraisal eviscerating my warm flesh, her tilted criteria supplanting the interior, voluble with saccharine neologisms and preferences for the exterior. (not mine) Ironic was my attraction to her brain. Lines, features and symmetry, image - the commodity, aesthetics, the currency in this transaction, cursory liaison, incendiary, collapse of the insurgent ego - there was no us in the the affair of nothingness. Bruised in abasement, I'm not the one -   I thought I was. Hyperbole - the center of delusion, a curious diversion - avoid my life. The allure of the illusion, transference, the ordinary to the romantic, the perfect other. Searching, the absorbing project - aquiring wholeness, did she reject me? I rejected me. The escape into fraudulent sadness, to mourn, is to displace, the disowned heart by self is tragic.   Should I not mourn for the one I'm deferring? Inside of me It's safe, to lament the loss of identity - tension is agony without resolve sequestered, in my pain, self-imposed familiar terrain, upon retrieval, awaking in renewal, mystery and destiny providentially, I am free.

The living reality of a metaphor, almost every ounce in-taken, Every nuance, every pronounce, measured, weighted and weighty, Fluid or firmament, each encapsulated, prior to release, scaled, Tabulated, ordered, noted, recorded, and ultimately judg-ed. Totality of it all, the varied quantities of the ingested nutrients, even the forecast of the future, if every day was a metaphor for like todayDO I speak of the day's headlines? Of the quantity and nutrition that passes through my lips? Or The surround sound of the surrounding sounds of this day, the flocks of bandito geese who exist only to torment, the landscape working crews, with their tools, like a 7::00an wake up buzzing about, for the entire street, going house to house, looking for itinerant grassy knolls of patches of bright green, overnight sprung up and needy to be guillotined, laundry to do, rugs needy for clothesline screaming/beating or merely super fast vacuuming; they, hawking their skills available for the old and infirm, or the fatty catty cattle lazy, (somewhere in there is moi); and the decibels of their machines, the rat-a-tat of their rapido, voluble speech that feeds me poetry by the ounce of their laughter, but more exactly of, What do I speak, to what do I allude? Why all and none, everything and specifically nothing, for the metaphor is meta!

The doctor of Geneva stamped the sand That lay impounding the Pacific swell, Patted his stove-pipe hat and tugged his shawl. Lacustrine man had never been assailed By such long-rolling opulent cataracts, Unless Racine or Bossuet held the like. He did not quail. A man who used to plumb The multifarious heavens felt no awe Before these visible, voluble delugings, Which yet found means to set his simmering mind Spinning and hissing with oracular Notations of the wild, the ruinous waste, Until the steeples of his city clanked and sprang In an unburgherly apocalypse. The doctor used his handkerchief and sighed.

The Doctor Of Geneva
living life on paper sheets, in between nights and days. paper planes that'll never reach their destination. phone calls that hang dry like raw art. painted sculptures are a fantasy, my sensory hands, are voluble, in evening's breast. the clock moans for tomorrow's ****** and it's dull hums yesterday. like raw art, on winter. hanging dry, devoid of existence. only citizen of the dead soul.

A Golden Brown Mexican Royal Eagle proudly soaring and gliding on invisible æther: Human Eyes from the ground: dark, attentive, following the Raptor's deadly arc as it ascends: The Mexican Brown Royal Eagle spots A frightened Doe: The dark eyes from the leveled plain: a startled double-take, follow the rapid Eagle's spiraling descent: The vaporized cloudiness slashed; A cinematic flash of hide torn and shrieking delight are jumbled, and echoed through the void: The Raptor is Voluble butcher As it devours, Sinewy flesh, Peeled from broken bone leathery skin and curved horn; The Dark eyes moisten While the scene Fills His Eyes; What Beauty juxtaposed: Death And Life Are Just A House Inhabited by Swift Or Quick The Fortunes Named In The Game Called Life Or Death.

A Golden Brown Mexican Royal Eagle
It is a sultry day; the sun has drunk The dew that lay upon the morning grass; There is no rustling in the lofty elm That canopies my dwelling, and its shade Scarce cools me. All is silent, save the faint And interrupted murmur of the bee, Settling on the sick flowers, and then again Instantly on the wing. The plants around Feel the too potent fervours: the tall maize Rolls up its long green leaves; the clover droops Its tender foliage, and declines its blooms. But far in the fierce sunshine tower the hills, With all their growth of woods, silent and stern, As if the scorching heat and dazzling light Were but an element they loved. Bright clouds, Motionless pillars of the brazen heaven,-- Their bases on the mountains--their white tops Shining in the far ether--fire the air With a reflected radiance, and make turn The gazer's eye away. For me, I lie Languidly in the shade, where the thick turf, Yet ****** from the kisses of the sun, Retains some freshness, and I woo the wind That still delays its coming. Why so slow, Gentle and voluble spirit of the air? Oh, come and breathe upon the fainting earth Coolness and life. Is it that in his caves He hears me? See, on yonder woody ridge, The pine is bending his proud top, and now Among the nearer groves, chestnut and oak Are tossing their green boughs about. He comes! Lo, where the grassy meadow runs in waves! The deep distressful silence of the scene Breaks up with mingling of unnumbered sounds And universal motion. He is come, Shaking a shower of blossoms from the shrubs, And bearing on their fragrance; and he brings Music of birds, and rustling of young boughs, And sound of swaying branches, and the voice Of distant waterfalls. All the green herbs Are stirring in his breath; a thousand flowers, By the road-side and the borders of the brook, Nod gayly to each other; glossy leaves Are twinkling in the sun, as if the dew Were on them yet, and silver waters break Into small waves and sparkle as he comes.

Gaia sighed. Not a sigh like lovers sigh looking deeply into each other's eyes. This was a sigh of resignation. In all her long life, there had never been a time she felt as unheeded as now. Yes, there had been a time once, a time of oneness when all her multitudinous inhabitants had coexisted, when species knew their place in the chain of life and cycled through their existence, not always at peace but with respect for one another: the lion hunted the swift gazelle which in turn fed on the fruits of the trees, parasitic birds and insects grazed upon her and they in turn were the prey of others. ‘Yes,’ Gaia thought, ‘there was a time.’ She sighed again. She remembered when humans first came to prominence in the twilight of her existence. To them, she was the Great Mother, the Creator of life. Was it not she who bore all her inhabitants and was it not to her that they all returned to continue the cycle? Gaia felt old now, old and forgotten. That respect, that devotion was all gone now. She felt the hurt as the careful balance she had sought to maintain was eroded, not by wind and elements, but by the ravages of humans. ‘They have overstepped their bounds,’ she mused. ‘They must be taught a lesson.’ She pondered on that thought for a moment and for a moment felt a surge of effervescent warmth flow through her form. But grim reality broke through her musings and she shuddered at the horror of the reality. Her memories were dim and misty now. She could remember her birth but only just. How she had taken form from the cosmic flotsam and jetsam all those countless aeons ago. She remembered the youthful exuberance she exhibited then and she smiled in embarrassed recollection. No life could have survived upon her surface then for she was wild and wilful, hot and inhospitable, prone to savage outpourings. But she grew, she gained the experience of time passing, and slowly, slowly, her voluble exterior became calm and gradually her form was blanketed in a kindly cloak of life-sustaining gases. The soup of her oceans spawned and multiplied a myriad of lives and forms and she thought of how many she had seen come and go. The present again broke through her meditation of what has gone before. Now she was approaching the nighttime of her existence and, like the old elephant, one of her favourite inhabitants, she knew her time was near. She had tried so hard to adapt, to compromise but, like a cancer, the human scourge had spread beyond all control. Oh yes, there had been a few voices raised in concern and some, she knew, spoke with all the sincerity she knew the species was capable of. But, those voices went unheeded, listened to by a few but ignored by the many. Gaia was tired. She hurt. Sol bore down on her savagely, relentlessly and she felt her protective shroud growing weaker and weaker as every moment passed. It was now, the time had come... © David Simons 2001 (revised 2016)

Now I'm in the turnips and string beans of poetry: It's like, you think you'll grow up some day And live in a two story house with swimming pool, And a two car garage, with a six pack driveway. Things turn out differently, though you might think You'd spend whole days devouring Dickinson, Keats, and Shelley, Drinking fine wines with tidbits of exotic cheese. Then you find out you'll live in a one car rented garage apartment, Over a couple always yelling or making love- There's no in-between; and you never know which it'll be And if you're mistaken for the significant other you might get Bopped with a lady's spiked heel or an army boot. Then you find out that you're the couple But you're always too busy to make love; Love is no longer scheduled like bowling night, It all depends on uncluttered horizontal surfaces and spare minutes- And the wine turns into beer, when you can afford it And the nightly budget pizza is the only dough you'll get It's constipating; but the words still get squeezed out. And the poets you're reading now aren't dead: They're urbanely unkempt, and you know them personally, All their quirky habits; writing poems at bus stops In a voluble rush; writing words on cafe napkins, On discarded want ads and torn paper sacks; And none of them are well known, and none of them are rich. But they're poets all the same, they live and breathe The written word, and you're no different, certainly no better, All of you shooting up words and slang nightly, Weighing out the soul of the latest idiom, Choking on cheap cigar smoke and wishing you'd written that, And thinking you could have done it worse- And suddenly some night, you look around you You realize you're living poetry, and you don't care anymore About rich and famous- because now it's your addiction; None of that mattered anyway, for only poetry holds any reality now. Everything else is imaginary, and all the poets started out this way; Nobody knew them or gave a rat's *** And they went on writing just the same As if it were the most important job on earth they'd been given.

Drinking Poetry from a Brown Paper Bag

Small, busy flames play through the fresh-laid coals, And their faint cracklings o'er our silence creep Like whispers of the household gods that keep A gentle empire o'er fraternal souls. And while for rhymes I search around the poles, Your eyes are fixed, as in poetic sleep, Upon the lore so voluble and deep, That aye at fall of night our care condoles. This is your birthday, Tom, and I rejoice That thus it passes smoothly, quietly: Many such eves of gently whispering noise May we together pass, and calmly try What are this world's true joys,—ere the great Voice From its fair face shall bid our spirits fly.

To My Brothers
They asked, "why are you as silent as a stone?" She replied, "why should I be voluble as the Mynah? My heart and tongue are deprived of goodness just like a desert, deprived of a sea. Another voice said, "Ergo, redundant talk comes with unbearable guilt." They asked again, " if so, why do you not speak the despairs you hide?" She replied, " Because, the gift of patience usually reigns.

Silence
A thousand god-eating plates in a summer wind Listen, china-white, to the audible inaudible that flanks The paint-chip, earth-red bridges. Susurrations weave Through grass with spider fingers; following curves in seashells As a voluble electric screen who Speaks as dew and taste. Water is depth beyond what can be acquainted with memory Or fancy. Watches turn delicate, May-lace and wedding night Music: Vertical, Veiled, Very. Dust in the stream lisps Headily to shore, rests by a forgotten child’s shoe, Bronzes it like mother’s finger and burns like daybreak.

June the Twenty-First
Tired yellows on infant flowers Are like resignation on new lovers. Rains drop, when the sky blinks; Fetching tears on abandoned brinks. The sweaty smell of gestation, Signifies the mangoes’ manifestation. I close my eyes and hear The inevitable drum roll caving near. Spring reclines under the parapets of roofs, Crushed like a migrant under our carriage hoofs. Summer. The Harbinger of Life. Possess these seeds and fertilize Their voluble dormancy In the flames of insurgency.

~ The Great Switch Off *louder in its silence, than a flicked light switch in the midst of a  midnight-darkened house more crackling than the slowest of lasting gunshot resounding re-soundings, of the ice pond white coverlet shredding itself apart, by its own voluble volition I hear the switch switching off, the giving-in, taking over, the surrender negotiations swift concluded with just those you know, two words let the anguish languish, the discipline, become someone else's disciple, just let me be well familiar this on-off moment, well recalled from all prior nine lives, exactly the where and the when was, I gave up on trying, but never needed the why cause the why was inadmissible, tampered evidence, dampened down, tainted lies and justifies tomorrow I'll restart, re-equip, cause the catching up with lost sleep a minimum week, to require, to reacquaint, with the on-demand, life props for properly slacking off* ***the oldest loudest sound you have and will ever make, the crack of self-deception, when your mind lies to yourself, this latest, greatest switch off is only temporary*** ~ Feburary Nineteenth, Two Thousand and Sixteen 5:49 am nyc

The Great Switch Off
Mientras haya alguna ventana abierta, ojos que vuelven del sueño, otra mañana que empieza. Mar con olas trajineras -mientras haya- trajinantes de alegrías, llevándolas y trayéndolas. Lino para la hilandera, árboles que se aventuren, -mientras haya- y viento para la vela. Jazmín, clavel, azucena, donde están, y donde no en los nombres que los mientan. Mientras haya sombras que la sombra niegan, pruebas de luz, de que es luz todo el mundo, menos ellas. Agua como se la quiera -mientras haya- voluble por el arroyo, fidelísima en la alberca. Tanta fronda en la sauceda, tanto pájaro en las ramas -mientras haya- tanto canto en la oropéndola. Un mediodía que acepta serenamente su sino que la tarde le revela. Mientras haya quien entienda la hoja seca, falsa elegía, preludio distante a la primavera. Colores que a sus ausencias -mientras haya- siguiendo a la luz se marchan y siguiéndola regresan. Diosas que pasan ligeras pero se dejan un alma -mientras haya- señalada con sus huellas. Memoria que le convenza a esta tarde que se muere de que nunca estará muerta. Mientras haya trasluces en la tiniebla, claridades en secreto, noches que lo son apenas. Susurros de estrella a estrella -mientras haya- Casiopea que pregunta y Cisne que la contesta. Tantas palabras que esperan, invenciones, clareando -mientras haya- amanecer de poema. Mientras haya lo que hubo ayer, lo que hay hoy, lo que venga.

¿Cómo era, Dios mío, cómo era? -¡Oh corazón falaz, mente indecisa!- ¿Era como el pasaje de la brisa? ¿Como la huida de la primavera? Tan leve, tan voluble, tan lijera cual estival villano... ¡Sí! Imprecisa como sonrisa que se pierde en risa... ¡Vana en el aire, igual que una bandera! ¡Bandera, sonreír, vilano, alada primavera de junio, brisa pura... ¡Qué loco fue tu carnaval, qué triste! Todo tu cambiar trocose en nada -¡memoria, ciega abeja de amargura!- ¡No sé cómo eras, yo qué sé qué fuiste!

Words carry weight Sometimes you can even see The strength and immensity of their power I’m reminded of wizards and sages Who spilled over their voluble incantations Illusions made real by voice and rhythm With lips and wisps and flowing tongues Chords and cords plucked and strung Watch carefully now as lives lean to and fro At the immeasurable strength of words

...Eres tan misteriosa como la voz del viento Eres tan atrayente como un abismo ¡Abismo lleno de rosas frescas! ...Eres, como el contento, expresiva y voluble. Ama el romanticismo tu alma, le dispensa igual recibimiento a la blanca ilusión que al ***** sensualismo. Eres tan turbadora como un presentimiento, y cruel y a la paz piadosa, tal como un espejismo. Por esas vaguedades que en tu ser adivino, por saberte dudosa, por saberte imprecisa, y porque nada esperas de Dios ni del destino. Yo amo tu alma, sutil como un jirón de brisa, y tu cuerpo estatuario, que son la ostia y el vino con que consagro a Venus esta erótica misa.

Eres tan misteriosa
gOd must have    been somewhere else       for he had forgotten there   is a planet called Earth squall of the morning harboring at bay the howl of the wind rampaging   through the tired streets,   i take no sorry hints from the bends and turns, nor did i hear the gutter weep.   only the baritone snarl of the swathe     of brute air through the entire vein       of the city. here now is the voluble thwart, crumbling in the heart of it    are mere species, the slavered hounds     of being chained to verily existing here, even the infinitesimal     were not spared in the glib downpour.    windows shut deep into stillness, the automaton shadow submerged in delirious light, as winds once again    with unannounced perditions    uplifting the nails, tossing the   alloys like birds swift in the catapult of breezy flights, lives sojourning,      some left only a scarring story,     or just prodigal and nothing else. carcass stench carves its reek       in the onlooker, the rat **** foams altogether with the brine, a cesspool     of unheard screams dwarfed by       the circular roar of the grey behemoth   showing only its unblinking eye running, searching for a place     to go less terrifying          than this, a bearable departure,    or a hopeless sling at rescue, luckless imperative,        today's vibrant children, ashen tomorrow,       gone.

“Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow?” ^ or Absolute Absolution <> the slow Tuesday fragrance fills the nostrils, Van Morrison in my earbuds, reminding that “This Must Be What Paradise Is Like! So quiet in here, so peaceful in here…” Sea salt spray spicy sauces the atmosphere, Many boats, some silent, noisy too, transverse the eyelids, entertainment of the vista, decorating time’s motionless motion So quiet in here, so peaceful in here… the voluble hush, delightfully confuses mes sensories, noisy cacophony orchestral avians, waves, and a human voice, punctuate the music, absolute absolution of mes sensoriels So quiet in here, so peaceful in here… Indeed, it is a Tuesday, and the slow of the surround sound, vanilla spotted with rainbow sprinkling of the noise of life, So quiet in here, so peaceful in here…, so full, so rich, so vast the strands of colored variegated, perpetual motionlless moves me to tears, steals my emotional refuse, I too, So quiet in here, so peaceful in here…inside of me… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~—————-~~~~ (1) Lyric from Brown Eyed Girl, Van Morrison

Whispering strings lithe fingers Touch Lovely to longing to listlessly pluck. Voluble vibrant vigor yet light Haunting and heavenly wraithlike and slight. Harmony human melodious sharp Gracious and gorgeous most beautiful harp. S~S

Magic of the Heart
contructs that are made of parts. a new whole function persists. no switches. changes are intentional in the design. desire from subject as if dance made a baric battle bless the ground matchsticks animated from dust are insoluble voluble in incantation that are lazy laments . shifts of pressure from the id (who understands nature) to the ego (who esteems in published forecast) in flows of gritty water the dust people that travel on the wind

How to describe the era we live in today one filled with a constant diatribe of those beliefs that were once treasured Now it seems the more bellicose one appears the more they are held in high regard with those that are voluble taking center stage Being peaceable is now a quality to endear with the denunciation of the common good replaced with boisterous chest beating Antagonism is the order of the this time using social media to be pugnacious and argumentative the norm One can only shake ones head to the contriving that has infected our humanity with machinations too wild to believe We are besieged by the need to be superior to the people that share our streets is this because our voices have been drown out We vilify those who dare denounce this way of being with venom like that of a deadly snake Hoping to silence those that oppose them with a tyranny of fake news claims neither verifiable nor accurate Into this world our children are being born what will they learn that belligerence is the way to get ahead Pity us all for we will all rue the day that we collectively chose leaders who embody these qualities Andreas Simic©

"The brine of sunrise has been aggregate to my life, The Sea filled with love and emotion so have thou? You fill my heart and soul with complete rapture, Our hands embrace itinerant as the sunlight appears, “I will want my antediluvian voluble to win your heart, To continue to serenade and catechize my love, Sonnet of love that will cajole your pleasures, At this radiant time with a perpetual perpetually attire, Her kisses taught my lips to embody the flame procured, Her mouth has taught me the fervor of emotion, As our sensations mount to an unrivaled high of sensuality, Came into a demur yet noble fathom delectation of love, Her celestial auspice lustrous as the morning calm sea, You begin to rue with pleasure as you have never before, As the imaginary ethereal sunbirds fly above the brine below, So is the sweet scented bouquet of your amour femininity, I love you as the calicoes pompon of the sea love the deep brine, As briny deep spawn calamus into neophyte perennial enclaves” By AG 5/20/2020 © HP
