Why Men Cry in the Bathroom For so many reasons. I will tell you the why. I think you know, Or perhaps, you think you know. Men are always O.K., Even when not. We expect the worse, Accept the worse, Nonetheless, We are forever unprepared. Wearily, we cry, In the bathroom, in private, Lest sighs slip by, We be unmasked, Early warring, strife signs warning. Copious, tho we weep Before the mirror confessor, It is relief untethered, Unbinding of the feet, An uncounting Of beaded rosaries, Of freshly fallen hail stones, Of night times terrors By dawn's early edition's light, and welcomed. But look for the mute tear, The eye-cornered drop, *** tat, that never drops, But never ceases formation and Reforming, over and over again, In a state of perpetuity of reconstitution, *The tippy tear of an iceberg revealing, And I see you peeping, wondering, What is beneath* Look for: the torn worm-eaten edges of spirit, thrift shop bought, extra worn, grieving lines neath the eyes, where the salt has evaporated, discolored the skin. worry lines, under and above, browed mapped, furrowed boundaries. the laugh line saga, where better days are stored, recalled, as well as recanted, publicly, privately. Why just men? I don't know, Perhaps, it is all I know. end.<nml> Jan 6, 2013

Do You Know Why Men Cry in the Bathroom? (2013, can u believe it)
The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves, The full round moon and the star-laden sky, And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves, Had hid away earth's old and weary cry. And then you came with those red mournful lips, And with you came the whole of the world's tears, And all the trouble of her laboring ships, And all the trouble of her myriad years. And now the sparrows warring in the eaves, The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky, And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves, Are shaken with earth's old and weary cry.

The Sorrow of Love
Brain, brain go away Don't want to listen one more day Already lonely and afraid Feel insecure and full of shame Brain, brain don't act this way You're always angry; Filled with hate You know we're joined; Can't separate Yourself your punching in the face Brain, brain what can I say To make it so you see things straight Don't know how much more I can take Of constant warring and debate Brain, brain it's getting late This journey's not some endless race Life's flying by and at this pace Forget a win; Not gonna place Brain, brain let's medicate I'll feed you drugs and we'll sedate The only way to mitigate Discrepancies we generate Brain, brain we sadly waste This outcome feels like it was fate But never was there a sealed date Fulfilling what we self-create Brain, brain so much we faced Success so close could almost taste Instead our tail we always chased We'll die alone sad and disgraced

Brain, brain go away
Make it through make it true Lay it bare if you dare Banish doubt make it count Look around you’ve made it there Shout it far show your scars Fill the day with twenty-four hours This is it what we’ve got Looks like **** but it’s ours You see this life filled with strife So much hurt so much pain Now you win now you lose One’s loss another’s gain It wasn’t meant to be pretty Empty towns ***** cities People all around have issues Insecure, lost and misused You can choose to stay and fight Assert yourself claim your rights Or decide to turn away Make your mark another day Showing up is half the battle Knocked down back in the saddle It’s not the wins and the losses It’s the learning it’s a process At the end of the day Stop and do the math Those who've made hay Don’t have to look back.

Warring and Winning
by— Josiah Israel Twas oft the way in days of old, When knight would battle brave and bold, The damsels hand in hopes to hold, Worth more then polished Stone, or Gold For this is what a boy is told When day is done and night is cold… “One day my son, thy chance will come Though courage oft may waver, When lady waits, through sable gates For thee brave lad, to save her!” For when a dragon stole a maid, Awaiting ransom duly paid, Twas bravest knight, armor arrayed   With noble steed and burnished blade Rode swiftly to the damsels aid… “You have not birth of high degree Yet be thou brave and fight, For low in rank thy birth may be Yet heart makes noble knight!” And after facing beast and foe The knight with maiden free would go Away to fields in need of *** For seeds ere winter need to grow And none can reap who do not sow… “Not all you do will win a prize Of gold or silver bent, So reap a harvest good in size And be thee well content.” And when the battle horn he hears The knight must banish all his fears And ride to war, with battle cheers On maidens cheek alight her tears Fearing death, she spends the years… “To win renown in battle Might also be your path, May your enemies armor rattle As they feel your righteous wrath!” But after kings campaign is done The knight to home will swiftly run From dusk through night to rising sun Till maiden sees her hero come Heart moving swift, a beating drum Her heart a prize which first he won! “Home is best at warring's end To be with those you cherish, A place to rest, your wounds to mend Where love will never perish” Though all the kingdom knows his name And minstrels spread the brave knights fame His love for she, remains the same And they live happily, Knight and Dame…

Combative Mind (10W)
I. I'm writing to tell you that I've spoken with your sister. She tells me everything these days, though recently I've marked the way her voice conceals a quiet shame; rage in casual tones, and fear in quiet whispers. I haven't kissed her in quite some time. She's thinking of you. II. I'm sorry that I haven't written sooner. This fasting saps volition from my fingers, and the hot smell of ozone still lingers in the air. But everywhere I see you on the news. Has Ramadan been hard for you this year? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I want to know that you are near once more. Please write. III. I saw an action flick today, and something of you in the way the heroine roared and flipped her hair just before letting a rocket fly. I thought that I would die of suspense until the moment when the hero rose from the rubble to stand above his foes. Crows circled. Credits rolled. IV. Thunder tolls. The atmosphere crackles and bursts. It's early yet, and not even my worst. My warring hands will never give you peace. An endless war-song issues from my lips. You are not brave enough, dear girl, to resist destruction by my hand. The bomb blessed by my lips is indifferent, darling boy. I will consume the gardens planted with your seeds. V. Bismillah, arrahman, arraheem. VI. Blessed is he who cries out for peace. The Lord sees him and sees that he is good. Blessed is she who dines before the sunrise and loses her life at noon, still clad in vestments of her childhood. VII. Eid Mubarak, and peace be with you every year. I've yet to hear from you. I saw your sister again today. Whatever tinged her voice still holds her. She said she hasn't written. It matters who writes, so write a love-letter, I told her. She's thinking of you.

Eighteen misses and three survivors Two broken marriages with one spiteful lost love Two warring sisters and too many brothers Numbers don’t always make the lives of another Crocheted angels and heartfelt hugs Gone are the days of each of those Responsible, avoidant, and spoiled Resentment, confusion, and miscommunication Ghosts of the past Harried, busy, and distant Buy back the time Patience, hope, and acceptance Crowding the cast Three lives play out creating six more One life still here caught in time One life locked in with ghosts of the past cc062611

Every battle of a warrior is riddled with confused noise! The garment of a warrior is rolled in blood! When the bricks are falling down,  a warrior builds with hewn trees When the sycamore are cut down, a warrior replaces them with cedar In the lifting of the smoke he burns down wickedness and its fire with stout heart Certain in certainty, the trees in the wood  bow to the warring winds in the battle of a warrior! Warrior sings upfront in victory and for victory, standing determined on the mountain of courage and faith, dutifully worshipping on the altar of fearlessness and glory.

COLOR OF A WARRIOR
# *I hadn’t meant to spy just an evening’s walk along the beach knowing that things are sometimes strewn there after storms between a gust of wind—a break in clouds Coming upon moonlight gleaming on wet teenage backs Two— by a leaning erosion fence fondling the last discoveries of childhood fumbling with the barriers of her bikini behind the erosion fence out of sight and forbidding Breeding like sea grass by rhizomes prowling that neck, those ******* Gasping! Warring! for the land of white warmth below their tans His hands grip, lift, position, insist By such undertow mouths and hips pinioned in disbelief... where they cannot be seen two half-rounds in rhythm – struggle in the surge of being as the surf binds them in refrains about the ankles* #

coming upon moonlight
. Lear wanders in stormy open, bares warring elements, The heavens blister, crackle, night is balmy shroud, Wretched monarch babbles in sprinkles of wind cold, Arguments lost by ones own pouring perturbations And raining sky said 'nothing will come from nothing.' Howl, howls into blackness treed in lightning splits, His outcast soul, reels, fleshed, cut to smithereens, Tang of salt burns on the bluffs and the sea rages, So entire and ceremonious is Lear's fall meted out, Air spoke, 'nothing from nothings ever yet was born.' Sky proclaimed to man child King, here is a reckoning,                            Each mad choice was self infliction, now wind flays And sweet Cordelia lies in her innocent **** grave, Sky, in thralls of thundering asks, 'what say thee now, King of highborn follies, even purple heaths are rags, Yet black and above you and night shades, whine, Unworthy King, done in by compounded effects, The might of maelstroms in low butterflies wings, How now, bare trees, knifing reeds, skeletal flashes, To rains of night are ever your lanyards my lord,' Sad Lear so near oblivion fell mute, sky went on, 'Howl and cry mad King your reaper calls beyond, The icy brisk heavens await to brusque you away, Your slipshod kingdom was mere and fools' dream, Howl, til howls abrupt abate, for nothing now comes.'

King Lear in Conversation with the Sky
Venezia, its musical key of brick and shade And the canals in rejoining polyphony Sweeten the dour Church-ear.   From the impasto knife and loose brushwork, A thumb-smear of waves and gently-bristled strife Rise to assumption of the cloud-submerged bay, Mural of cristallo, only-light without landscape, Made too from the winds of Murano, Its clayed blowpipe of waterways molding The lagoon of blown glass and bouquet of colored sea-shadows. The Tiber lies on its side, like the lion and fox, Licking its paws at empire’s dust, A drifting gaze of water that already foresees The swift-run northward to Romagna, Where the veined fur of the roe will succumb… A ripple twitches like one dark claw of the Borgia… The watercolors of the Arno are a fresco On the wet plaster of the lips of Firenze, Tuscan fire-dream. Or like the warring leg in curve of counterpoise, Sprung foot-forward to the daring world And arm slung down in stone-victory From this valley, too much like Elah, With taunting eyes turned from the Medici toward Rome.

Waters of Rebirth
Palm Sunday is upon us, Christ's triumphant arrival, A week before his death, With no chance of survival, Jesus died to save mankind, On that Easter day, Risen on the sabbath, Risen from where he lay, Doesn't look like mankind cares, For what he did on that day, With all the wars that's warring, The world's in disarray.

The world's in disarray
At times can be seen melting together One into the other like a loving couple At times drifting as a lonely wanderer The clouds are there to imitate people It can't move on a journey on its own Without energy clouds are immovable It'll stay motionless if not wind blown Prodding to be productive like people Some are peacocks parading with flair Of damsels bosoms as white as marble Putting air pompous what do I care Show fame without shame like people Arms ready for war it's getting warm They gather warring forces for battle They march whip up a thunderstorm Rainclouds hungry for war like people Clouds can be big cloud can be small Can be rich prosperous can be poor Like people accumulate only to lose all To earn and loss and earn once more They orbit the earth decorated the sky Unaware of mortal affairs just rumble Prone to fallacy or vanity as you and I Can't help noticed clouds are like people

she gave me her cell #, in a crowded bar inked upon my forearm, "in case in my drunkness, I dare forget," a common come-on technique, that reeks of all good things to come but I failed to see, in the little letters, "@ your own peril" a warning, poorly heeded, inflaming my now unimaginable needy neededs, just a **** come on, or a warring warning of tumult, vampirish blood ******* with cautious haste, her number I did paste into my contact list, 'in case of loss, call,' when sudden notifications galore, came unbidden from everywhere: Are you really sure? these digits seems were posted on a Do Not Call list, maintained by monks and bro's, no, no, not a list of what-rhymes-with-bro's, but of fallen angels, who knew the secrets of heaven the price extracted for their revealing, could cause you life long arthritis of the heart, per the Surgeon General, for which the only cure, endure, endure, endure... the prize? endless wonderful new poems, freely given, but with one strictest of restrictions, if published, it meant your slow extinction! *that is why the world calls me Poet of the Way, forever trying to find a way, to away these treasured glories* then one day, he laughed and laughed, when he first he read the magic key, your poem, successfully saved *on Hello Poetry!* and now the poet endures, even possibly, self-saved, quite happily

My Irish Flute on Mountaintop
The Lion and the Bull The Wolf and the Crow How we met and fell in love is a mystery we may never know But, here we are, twenty years in and we glare through glazed stares wondering how to start again Your freedom of expression clashing against my sensitive ears My rebellion against repression is warring with your fears How do we cross this battlefield with our shields in the air? With our spears raised high, can we show that we care? We're ready to fight and we want to join sides together against the odds for the rest of our lives. 070815~1.34p

The Lion and the Bull
They began without notice, in the city of Mombasa By the Al shabab shooting baby Osinya in the head, Killed the mother, leaving a slug stuck in Osinya’s head Killing and mauling many others macabrously, Killing for no other reason, but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. They had initially lynched the West Gate Mall In Nairobi, killing the aged and seasoned darling Of African poetry and true fountain of peace The dearest Kofi Awonor, in full watch of his son, Confirming a trail of the ghastly curse of fate and death That totted him arduously from his home in the west Of the tropical gulag that makes the land of Africa From where the terror maestro ; Boko haram reign scot free Mayheming, Killing, ****** and kidnapping harmless virgins Killing For no other reason but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. They have now killed fifty peasants in Mpeketon town, ****** them in circles to puncture their virginity and brutally kidnapping those that are not ***** Using the AK 47 and the Ak 74 to shoot and **** Without reason nor course but failure of mind Botched down by authenticity of holy diversity Heavenly packaged in God’s idea of tribe, Uhm! An African man with a gun is a brute of brutes, Giving an African a gun is simple mess of the world In to helter-skelter poise tilting peace higgledy-piggledy, Killing one another like animals premised by Charles Darwin As overtly seen in the warring Congo and CAR, Where Africans **** one another in a stupid dint, To ape Rwanda or no! To outshine the Jewish Massacre In the Ammonium chambers of fuehrer Adolf ****** This stupid Africans baser than wild beasts, Who told you that your greatness will come from killing your neighbours; the fellow peasants? These African men are the modern homoguerrillus, Which one call cheap war making man They and **** ! **** **** **** **** **** **** For no other reason but faith and tribe, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. Gunshots of the gunmen in Africa are not A song of the caged bird, no whatsoever, They are cowardly maneuvers of the weak As the weak and cowards rarely forgive, They arm themselves to the teeth With deadly weapons from Russia or wherever Only to shoot and **** the old and malnourished Peasant women, killing the likes of baby Osinya Shooting a suckling baby to prove your heroism, These African men are really a Whiteman’s burden, They **** their fellows from cockcrow to chick roost For no other reason but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity.

(Genesis chapter 1:6 and God said: “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let the waters be divided by the water.” I never understood this statement, well not until I wrote this poem). The ocean. It’s just a wetter version of the sky a graveyard' of poetry that broke into my heart and open my eyes, and I saw the brightest darkness mirror reading handwritten dreams cuffing the stars consoling the rain whom tears laugh and in that laughter, I hear the words God hates you these insulting tears that only once god could hear now speaks to me with warring tongues and I had nothing deep to say just a crushed sentence a pile of regret a sky that jumped on my train thought and we went from an angelic blue to a halo of black. God, I do apologize if you feel like I have displeased you. See I have been searching for a weightless god because the others are too heavy and too weak like watered down gospel, Weak like the dark side of poetry Weak like a religious inside joke no one gets Forgive me for you know everything I don't so tell me am I a self-portrait of you and will you promise to clean ***** lost souls like mine and will u forgive me for having an enchanted mind You see I often mistook you for a poem that has never been written Mistook you for masculine words that became undone I mistook you  for a selfless father that has more than one son Mistook you for a sky filled with multiple sunsets. I know nothing of you, you unseen god tell me am I of the other god am I his fleshly creation standing outside my normal heartbeat and on the footnotes of his story standing breathing whirlwinds on death ears of soundless music into the lungs of his bible The lungs of his heaven that often resembles the blood stains in his hell blood that flows throughout my veins and into an anthem of sorrow Sung with broken tongues sorrow buried in all kind if ancient languages And I sit in this hell crying with roses that's been wounded by his thoughts and his words shoved into each other and I hate this so much that I stripped down to pain and I am exposed naked with caution and I can see that my heart is a jealous god also an egoistic ghost filled with love I never felt a love that has no title a love I am not entitled to feel and why should I be When that god knows I am a sleepwalking addict high off of pain why should I be when that God knows I am as useless as a headless butterfly When I should be more like the ocean Yeah just a wetter version of the sky The human body is made up of 75% water (So in Genesis chapter 1:6 when God said “Let the water be divided by the water.” Where did that water go? It is in me).

The Dark Side of Poetry
(Genesis chapter 1:6 and God said: “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let the waters be divided by the water.” I never understood this statement, well not until I wrote this poem). The ocean. It’s just a wetter version of the sky a graveyard' of poetry that broke into my heart and open my eyes, and I saw the brightest darkness mirror reading handwritten dreams cuffing the stars consoling the rain whom tears laugh and in that laughter, I hear the words God hates you these insulting tears that only once god could hear now speaks to me with warring tongues and I had nothing deep to say just a crushed sentence a pile of regret a sky that jumped on my train thought and we went from an angelic blue to a halo of black. God, I do apologize if you feel like I have displeased you. See I have been searching for a weightless god because the others are too heavy and too weak like watered down gospel, Weak like the dark side of poetry Weak like a religious inside joke no one gets Forgive me for you know everything I don't so tell me am I a self-portrait of you and will you promise to clean ***** lost souls like mine and will u forgive me for having an enchanted mind You see I often mistook you for a poem that has never been written Mistook you for masculine words that became undone I mistook you  for a selfless father that has more than one son Mistook you for a sky filled with multiple sunsets.

Hush! Listen do you hear the silence above the roar of life? Hush! Do you hear your heart beating to your life's song? Hush! Do you see the sky above blanketing and comforting? Hush! Do you feel the world spinning around? With you standing still upon it? Hush! Sshhhh! Quiet. Listen to the flow of earth's blood in her rivers and streams, feel her warmth from the sun like an adoring parental gaze. Touch her thrumming life in her growing forests, see her wonders created for us her children. Hear her lullaby before she is muted, choked, buried alive by us, with our waste, our destruction, deforestation, over fishing, hunting. ****** the fruitful earth 'til she our mother is barren and useless. Mother Earth is weeping and above the roar of our selfish modern sound, we do not hear her crying, or see her tears silently falling. Falling onto selfish mankind. Gaia that great mother to all, giver of birth to earth and it's universe is a woman reclining upon the earth surrounded by a host of jealous warring infant adults the fruits of her labours. Oaths sworn in the name of Gaia, in ancient Greece, were considered the most binding of all.

The walls close in slowly, as the light begins to fade
 No more youthful smiles, the days only masked with grey
 And yet the world keeps turning
 People rushing on by
 Filling their days with worry, 
a tear drop wets my eye.
 Can you feel the hunger burning,
 your stomach turns to rot
 As all are born must stop breathing, eventually an afterthought. Can you see the light upon the hill for which we all aspire?
 Tis the goal of justice, held in the arms of another.
 Who is it that holds the key to swing open heaven’s gate
? Can we obtain succor, to save us from this state? Socrates says it is the philosopher king;
 But even kings are mortal captains
 And their love of knowledge
 cannot stop them from unjust folly How does one find the answer to what is the moral law of God?
 Does it uplift the personality, or curse it free from thought?
 Better yet, what is your **** worth?
 Would you lay down your life a martyr
 to bury your brother beneath the dirt? Left in a world so full of imperfection, we take refuge in the days advances
 Television, computers, ipods, and Wiis, lose your self in trivial things.
 This distraction gives those in power all that they can want,
 For if good men cannot engage and stop the warring
 There is nothing to halt man’s wayward plot. Sin is separation; there is no us and them.
 That is your ego and your thought deploring
 A mind bereft of ken.
 Open up your Eye young child, become the all-seeing Zen
 Only then Justice will not matter,
 For Justice will be in all of us again.
