"winning" poems
Boy, She's got you all tied up again. Just. Bound. Once more. To her infernal-eternal, heart breaking beauty. Witch, she possesses. you, to play the pawn in her pussy's game. Like a champ. But will you really be winning? When you find all-o-those, ***** little secrets. She has hidden in her black-lace-panties.

The Secrets, Under Her Skirt.
When you stepped in my door, I realised I was Paradise in my heart and soul. You were so surefooted because you came up from the high. So long I longed for it. O Fathima, only to kiss your feet! The time was so sweet, beyond anyone’s dream only in pure beauty I was rendering, screaming to new highs. I did it my way! Lovely bouncing on my polished pitch, the rivers forget to flow back to the seas. But no one knew where my toe melts! Until you did and took me for a tread closer to your spring, my sweet spot; my sweet dream: O Fathima, only to kiss your feet! Your so pleased man wished to rain down with love, but humble you hid your feet! You blinded the moon, snowed it away under the seven seas. No wonder it's your winning footing. Like the Prophet (PBUH) said: I found me the heaven beneath the mother’s feet. O Fathima, only on your feet!

O Fathima Only To Kiss Your Feet (Song of paradise upon her arrival)
My heart Is a happy drunk A little too open A little too optimistic It's over in the corner of the bar Playing poker Screaming at the top of it's lungs I'M ALL IN When it's never To this day Had a winning hand My heart Is a sad drunk A little too lonely A little too caught up in tears It's over at the counter Forcing the bartender to take its keys Because it would rather not go home Than go home alone again My heart Is a reckless drunk A little too unbalanced A little too impaired It's over by the door Making everyone nervous A little too good at scaring people away A little too far gone Like you A little too far gone Turn your head Shuffle away and pretend you don't notice The breakdown of a heart Too drunk on feelings To know when to stop

too far gone
For Al, who left us With each passing poem, The degree of difficulty of diving ever higher, Bar incrementally niched, inched, raised, Domain, the association of words, ever lesser, Repetition verboten, crime against pride. Al, You ask me when the words come: With each passing year, In the wee hours of Ever diminishing time snatches, The hours between midnight and rising, Shrinkage, once six, now four hours, Meant for body restoration, Transpositional for poetic creation, Only one body notes the new mark, The digital, numerical clock of Trillion hour sleep deficit, most taxing. Al, you ask me from where do the words come: Each of the five senses compete, Pick me, Pick me, they shout, The eyes see the tall grasses Framing the ferry's to and fro life. Waving bye bye to the End of day harbor activities, Putting your babies to sleep. The ears hear the boat horns Deep voiced, demanding pay attention, I am now docking, I am important, The sound lingers, long after They are no longer important. The tongue tastes the cooling Italian prosecco merging victoriously With its ally, the modestly warming rays Of a September setting sun, finally declaring, without stuttering, Peace on Earth. The odoriferous bay breezes, A new for that second only smell, But yet, very old bartender's recipe, Salt, cooking oil, barbecue sauce, gasoline And the winning new ingredient, freshly minted, Stacked in ascending circumference order, onion rings. These four senses all recombinant, On the cheek, on the tongue, Wafting, tickling, blasting, visioning Merging into a single touch That my pointer finger, by force majeure, Declares, here, poem aborning! Contract with this moment, now satisfied! Al, what you did not ask was this: With each passing poem, I am lessened within, expurgated, In a sense part of me, expunged, Part of me, passing too, Every poems birth diminishes me. _________________________________ (this poem more than most, for its birth celebrates my loss, your loss, which cannot be exonerated 8/7/18) _________________________________ written at 4:38 AM September 8th, 2012 Greenport Harbor, Long Island

2013: With Each Passing Poem
For Al, who left us With each passing poem, The degree of difficulty of diving ever higher, Bar incrementally niched, inched, raised, Domain, the association of words, ever lesser, Repetition verboten, crime against pride. Al, You ask me when the words come: With each passing year, In the wee hours of Ever diminishing time snatches, The hours between midnight and rising, Shrinkage, once six, now four hours, Meant for body restoration, Transpositional for poetic creation, Only one body notes the new mark, The digital, numerical clock of Trillion hour sleep deficit, most taxing. Al, you ask me from where do the words come: Each of the five senses compete, Pick me, Pick me, they shout, The eyes see the tall grasses Framing the ferry's to and fro life. Waving bye bye to the End of day harbor activities, Putting your babies to sleep. The ears hear the boat horns Deep voiced, demanding pay attention, I am now docking, I am important, The sound lingers, long after They are no longer important. The tongue tastes the cooling Italian prosecco merging victoriously With its ally, the modestly warming rays Of a September setting sun, finally declaring, without stuttering, Peace on Earth. The odoriferous bay breezes, A new for that second only smell, But yet, very old bartender's recipe, Salt, cooking oil, barbecue sauce, gasoline And the winning new ingredient, freshly minted, Stacked in ascending circumference order, onion rings.

ugly men burning their bay leaves in pots of static gardens underneath all this cement your past is looking at you indecently so change the words around you you can shift their meaning its all a game and no-one's winning your tired emotions accent your poetry umbrellas are scars that carry symphonies in their hearts you held my hand as we welcomed god back into our skylines her face is as familiar as the stars we originated from with ulcers open in quiet hurting your youth are wordless and distrustful of angst ridden authority in unsuspecting situations love’s vacation is ending her wedding gown got quite ***** since she literally spent her entire honeymoon wandering idly into banks of muddy water humanity is worthy of justice and sweaty romance i breathe your flesh into my bottle and we take boundless walks upon the clouds that straddle mountains, graveyards and cemeteries fresh from wading in the rice fields i peeled you a ripe banana under pressure your sweater came off and revealed a perfect metric for us to emulate your eye sockets are two umbilical chords and your voice is a curved sword that cuts through fear like the moon slices through the sky i have held all of this inside for far too long and now it comes shattering forth spilling itself over every page every letter an escapade almost as long as an Eskimo's pilgrimage to safety

Teamwork Solves The Problem They say “two minds are better than one.” Nothing could be truer. As I watched a friend and his relative, patiently, take apart and fix a broke appliance. I relaxed and observed. The two had the item repaired and figured out quicker than one whose questions are the parts in which the other can answer when there, with him, aiding in the battle of winning the war to piece together a needed tool , that needs mending. Through answered questions from a partner well answering problems, the other had faced, piecing together the problem, through help and sweet and strong reliance. Upon another to help in rougher times. I remarked on such, the phrase, as they smiled. In agreement…it wa voted unanimously. That :”two minds are better than one” Simultaneously….we all nodded. It was a new motto on which we have started to have styled… Even more so, even a “ton” of minds wishing to achieve the same goal - to fix a broken moment… or even a city that is in disrepair. such, through unity, the item was finished and the conversation had ended…. It is alike war and conflicts…… …. Having people, ready with you, voluntarily by your side… Is better than being too tall for one’s own good…or even better motives… If he fails to see that “one is not an island…” “Nor is one an army…” Common Sense tells him to ask for “brother’s in arms” which overrides any strong form of blind pride..

Teamwork Solves The Problem
Being a coach is hard Winning isn't everything It all stats during practice Arrive early to prep for the team The ones who want it show up on time want it The best players show up late Running bases conditioning for the game Batting cages to help with the swing Playing catch helping the team work as a unit Till the day of the big game Slide to the base with technique practiced Cutoff play to make an out Team functions without doubt Play hard play right win or loss giving it your all Coach does right by the team no need to fight Lets win and take the season play and do What the team does best play softball

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
Bravery is not, Easy to find, In a culture such as mine, We often define, An incorrect view of what is good, What deserves praise or should, Be acknowledged by those who could, Hand out honours. Bravery is not, In shooting a gun, At another man's son, Or in knowing you've won, So with a buffer going for the glory, So you can have the best story, Of how you scored the key, Winning blow. Bravery is not, A foolish choice made, That through luck somehow paid, Off but always weighed, Down your chances of success, Though you always said: "Yes", When asked: "Was it for the best?" After time passed. Bravery is, Admitting to yourself that you, Might have been wrong to, Assume what you always knew, About yourself was definitely right, And that things might, Not be as black and white, As you thought. Bravery is, Telling people you were wrong, That you don't belong, In the category you were in all along, And in fact there's more to the truth, When it comes to you, And getting to know who, Lives in your skin. Bravery is, Disagreeing with normality, Arguing with the morality, Put forward by the society, That thinks its way is above, All else, And loving who you love, And being proud of, **WHO YOU ARE**

Are you trying to bring ‘brown’ back?” Point for Snowman “It’s better than being fat and going naked.” Scarecrow brought it back Scarecrow is consistently winning right? I know… I know man! If he made you a fan, stick around for an autograph… I will throw in mine too For more on the war of words between these two Watch this space for round two.

We were teammates We suited up We showed up We weren't stars But we rolled in the dirt With the best of them Our blood ran red Like the rest of them Our sweat tasted salty As the most athletic of them Wounds and bruises Ached like the most Stalwart of them We were Bulldogs! We anted up our Gifts and talents to Forge a winning season A flair for humor Wry observation, Encouragement, fortitude And intelligence were as Valuable as speed, Agility and strength We all pined for the Affection of cheerleaders, Bandmembers and the Adoration of fans We equally joined In the chorus of locker room banter And honored the Confidence of camaraderie Such intimacy bares We endured thankless Adversity, while wending through anonymous toil As brothers We grudgingly drank From the vile cup of defeat And passed the chalice Of victory among us To share the savory Taste of triumph As champions The Duke of Wellington Said “the battle of Waterloo Was won on the fields of Eton” I trust my teammates and Not forgotten friends Tasted sweet victories of Happiness and success As they coursed through Their prodigious fields of life And at games end I hope their heart swelled With pride to know they were A beloved and Valiant Bulldog David Irving Korsh #75 BCSL Champion 1973 Rutherford Bulldogs Well done Valiant Bulldog God bless and Godspeed Music Selection: Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road 5/5/18 Puyallup jbm

Ask me, Ask me now daddy. What I want to do when I grow up. I want to be happy. No, not happy I want to be happiness. I want to be joy and cheer and admiration Confidence and peace and optimism I don’t want to be like others, no, I want to be love. The smile that comes across your face when they say your name, The look that makes your heart skip a beat, The song that makes you rethink every second you spent together. I don’t wanna be the poem, I wanna be the emotion behind it, Not the first kiss, let me be the nerves, Not the dance, let me be the excitement, Not the Officiant, let me be the vows. When I grow up, I don’t wanna be a doctor mommy. I want to be the feeling when someone’s told there’s a cure, Or when a parent finds out their child will live to be a teenager, Or maybe I want to be 3 in the morning when a mother holds her child for the first time. I want to be affection and adoration and passion Oh, I want to be passion. Let me be passion. So that you cannot do without me, because nothing without me has meaning. So that when you are playing the final strain or scoring the winning goal, Or writing the last chapter or finishing the last paint stroke, You will think of me. Maybe I’ll be allegiance or devotion or respect. I won’t be the soldier, I’ll be the loyalty. Or the surprise in a child's heart when their dad comes home early, Maybe I’ll be the feeling when a father meets his baby for the first time, And the child already knows his name. I want to be piety and faith and worship. I don’t want to be the pastor, I’ll be the lesson. Maybe I’ll be the obligation behind the first baptism or first communion. Maybe I’ll be the words when someone so low is told someone loves them. I’ll be the salvation of the gospel, The redemption to the guilty, The forgiveness to the sinners. When I grow up, I want to be the opposite of sorrow, The antonym of misery, The reverse of fear, The contradiction of rejection, The antithesis of disappointment, The inverse of insecurity, I want to be the alleviation of anxiety, The ease of pain, When I grow up, I want to be happy.

Tears pooling in her eyes Slowly, steady, realize. Pull back to the beginning Shamelessly pretending that your winning. The hollow feeling in your chest, How you pray for it to rest. Hold your head above the shame, Pull yourself together and play the game.

Tears
I came only to watch one person eyes open and peeled. The Blonde Bombshell was her name and O, what power did she wield! One look and the explosion of her beauty could soften any heart of steel. I knew nothing of softball besides the name, but the blonde pitcher inspired me to change my game. As I watched she seemed nervous on the softball mound. Her first few pitches practically never left the ground. The game continued and she pitched better in each inning. Each throw as beautiful as she was and secured her team in winning. She looked more confident as she began to smile. Sending each batter back to the bench crying like a child. As I prepared to leave I waved my farewell. To a blonde beauty who looked and pitched exceptionally and gracefully well.

Trying to find solace in the suburbs when everything seemed superb like that cookie-cutter, picket fence, faux fur mentality they instill at the start Just an infant with scars He reached for her baby bump, Then slammed it hard onto the stairwell She fell, wept, and held That lil princess and prayed she'd never have the same hell All grown up. Alive and well shes got different demons different intricate cells It's been said she is special      she is awake But, in many ways She is the same As that ANGEL who carried her 23 years ago That's debt I'll always owe A gift I'll never own Carefully Constructed and Creatively Sewn shoved a soul into that shell That'll one day guide her back home Shes got her mamas tough, yet gentle heart her smile, brevity and love for art.. she can write her *** off like her the wrote and the writ Yet she's plagued by guilt every ******* minute GUILT for the life that she'd been given GUILT  for each exhale emitted She prays that God will have the sense to go back in time and hit OMIT (on all chapters even close to the word 'human' there's GUILT for feeling guilty even more for despising your own ) "I must've slipped through the gate, admit it! Or recruit another for your mission regretfully, I must solicit that I'm not fit for this position I'm no hero I'm the villain If ya look close you'll see I spit venom" Mama walks in smiles and says "WE. ARE. WOMEN!" "Betta recognize and quit your bitchin' as of today, you are living.. You are loved You are safe You are ************* winning WARRIOR, CREATOR, QUEEN, GODDESS, INCARNATE.. We are strength & We are the faith never to be broken but we still stay brave The Legend wont start or end with you Its a fight stretched out through  time You will understand soon No matter how much you ask "WHY" It wont stop circumstance wont stop lies wont stop suffering and will NEVER compromise Your in the way of the wave, child This.....  the secret to life When in the way of the wave... its only a matter of time S0 if youre searching for solace Will you promise To memorize this line

Dented and newly used my heart is set on cruise Winning Grinning Never gonna give up because I refuse My heart may be breaking but it is not the end Dealer count me back in I am on the mend I am on a comeback I am done being afraid I am done being saved Do not need another setback I am on a comeback *I believe in who I am I'm better than I have been I am not down and out I have only just began* Thank you HP and fellow poets for this great honor!!! Sorry I am so late to the party but my 8 yr old boy hijacked my phone from me.

Everybody Loves a Comeback
Ever since day 1 he was truly determined to play, If I met him our friendship would never decay, I once did volleyball myself whenI was younger, Winning a single game won't satisfy his hunger, I would run with him on that mountain every day, I would see to it that he never feels grey, I would want to be his greatest friend without drama, But that spot has been taken by Kageyama, They teach us how even enemies can become great allies, Everyone of their games together are quite a surprise,

If Success was Happiness Then achievers would be glad But look around and you will find That many of them are sad Of course, Achievement gives joy And excitement, oh boy! But when our need becomes our greed To misery, this will lead The whole world is chasing Success Everyone wants achievement Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose There is no Contentment Why do people want to succeed? Why is everyone in a race? The Truth is that we want to win So that there is a smile on our face But though we win, we are not glad We have money, why are we sad? Happiness is not money, the sages said It's sleeping soundly when you are in bed We hear of suicides in the homes of the rich If they were Happy, then why this glitch? Although they are achievers, this fact we know They are not Happy, their face has no glow If successful, but unhappy, what is the use? Winning or smiling, what would you choose? The purpose of Success is for us to be glad What is the use of winning, if it makes us sad? Happiness is something different, we learn Not just money that we earn and burn Happiness is built on a foundation of peace Then we are blissful like waves in the seas Look around at the people who are glad They live in the moment, they are never sad They don't swing from the future to the past They are the ones whose Happiness lasts Happiness has no price tag, know this my friend It's a state of mind where nothing can offend It's being able to smile, and able to laugh Not just trying to raise our Success graph We can't measure joy in dollar and pound Happy is he who peace has found Though we may fly the world around We may be miserable on the ground Success is not Happiness, this Truth we must know We may have everything, what's the use of this show? The truly successful one is he Who lives with smile, laughter, and glee If one is Happy, then one has achieved all One doesn't have to be rich and in fame be tall One can have little, but if content is he Then he can live joyously Achievement gives Happiness, this fact we know But with Fulfilment and Contentment, does Happiness grow One who is Happy, doesn't need to win He has Peace and Joy without committing sin Joy doesn't need a foundation of cash One doesn't have to be rich, to enjoy life's bash Happiness is a simple state of the mind It comes from being loving, it comes from being Kind Happiness is Success. It is achieving life's goal It is being Happy in the heart, Peaceful in the Soul True Happiness is eternal, not just a moment of joy It last's forever, it can’t be destroyed Success is a journey of valleys and peaks Life is a see-saw, there are laughs and squeaks Success, unlike Happiness, doesn't last for long But the truly Happy ones always sing a Happy song So, Success is not Happiness, Happiness is Success You may be an achiever, whose heart is not at rest But though not successful, if Happy you are Then you are an achiever, you are the very best

Life is like a series of storm clouds waiting to pass. You can predict where they're coming from and when they'll be here. But when the time comes it is quite a surprise because your storm cloud still has yet to arise. You may not be aware of what the cause was, but when the lightning hits you are immediately in a state of hysteria. The storm is continuous and once you're in the eye, you think the pain of whatever it was has dissipated into the dark sky. Little did you know that that was just the beginning of a series of storm clouds that are still winning.

You're the counselor. When certain players can't accept defeat. You're a minister. Teaching them about humility. You're the coach. A title that takes on many roles. You're a defense attorney. When parents gets enraged. Thinking their child's better. Then they really is. You're the coach. It takes a dedicated soul to give of themselves. When many parents loves to criticize. And refuse to assist. It takes a calm manner person to accept this job. Because many parents are releasing to you their child. To motivate them to be better. Not just at the game. But, as a person with kindness. Long after the game. When many will forever think winning is everything. Until , they lose to see the sportsmanship. Is how you handle things. You're the coach. In the mist of many fools wearing that title. Because some treats their players like they entitled. You're not afraid to bench the star of the team. Even, if many think you're being mean. You're the coach. Who's respect for your dignity? If anything states about you. That you would like. You wants them to state you were fair. Even amongst the dislikes.

The Coach
so i get this idea sometimes that you enjoy being coy when it comes to me to conjure momentary spectacle & make me wonder if you paint catharsis on the doors of a home you've never lived in as a memory of our first night together because i do, i remember you beaming white on blue speaking softer than any storm i ever knew, i often think that maybe you live that night in your mind when your pillow is cold & you can't sleep, it makes me wonder if you do as i do, and rewrite three years fictionally beginning with a kiss somewhere maybe a balcony or a quiet car on the sand or in a sunlit grove close to your home but always a familiar scar on the maps we know we know by heart i wonder if sometimes the idea of me loving you is too real and if it teems under your tongue to stay observant but distantly intrigued if by this distance you think it safe to get a dog and pass time on the couch with a journal & some wine what i really wanna know is if your fingernails ever wish to have my skin under them or if they would boast about winning a war with my headboard i wonder if you can imagine me meeting your parents in your apartment & shaking your fathers hand as a first of many calloused palm readings and if you know that i trembled before them how insignificant i had felt to not know their daughter in the way i had envisioned how i picture such poignant moments so tangibly sharp that sometimes i replace my memories with little stories i tell myself that i can't count on two hands the number of times i've seen you & that i don't feel like a crater when i recollect our collisions i want to know if you still find madness in the words that have always been about you i wanna know if your imagination of me looks more like an anniversary or an obituary

Banned, momentarily. young, impetuous stubborn and aware, tac sharp, she merrily swears all contraband. trapped by parental snare in her room of thoughts she battles valiantly with screaming demons, playing cleverly, her winning hand.

"Hurt"
Tiny wrists. Tiny rivers of blue. Translucent. I'm thinking about making myself a home Beneath your pale skin. I'd float along your lazy blue river Until I make my way to your ghost chest And burrow myself a tunnel Deep inside your heart. Light myself a campfire, And pitch a tent. Looks like I'm gonna be here for a while. I am rocked to sleep with each beat: Onetwo. Onetwo. Onetwo. And my heart-house dreams Intermingle with yours. Maybe if we dream hard enough, We can create a world of our own. Where red blood cells sing like angels Housed in four chapel-chambers, And each artery stretches up far Like a rainforest canopy Riddled with exotic capillary-flowers. Can we be safe here? The heart has tender walls But it is a soldier. Though it may be kicked down, It forges on And picks itself right back up again. Always beating, Always winning. Your heart is a soldier. A fighter. A protector. I think I feel safe, For the first time in a long time, Within the home I've made for myself Inside of who you are.
