*It is the little things in life, which mean so much They are very quietly innocent Like the wondrous feel of a clean bed sheets touch Infused with an April Fresh Downy scent Waking up startled at a quarter past eight Jumping up straight from bed Thinking worriedly that I am going to be terribly late Remembering, it’s my day off instead Coming to terms, that to my name, I’ve not a dime Accepting my usual penniless lot Then there in the pocket of my faded jeans I find A crumpled up, forgotten five spot Sitting down now with my paper and pen Searching for words to write Thinking to myself, my mind has gone blank again Then finding the ones, perfectly right To win the lottery or an all expense paid vacation Would be so incredibly nice However, I will settle, for these small sensations Any ole day of my life*

Little Things Make Me Smile
I was on bed then clueless about my life. I remember three years ago, it was a strife. I was made to realize by pain of being alive. The procedure of tracheotomy was done. The other nose was cut into my windpipe. The lower end of my throat was bandaged. The two navels are located on my stomach. The second navel was gained at the hospital. The upper navel is not always here to be seen. Blankly I stared at the world in front of me. Bluntly I stared at a big wall in front of me. Bleakly I stared at people coming to see me. They would come few in numbers initially. That time is something I can't recall clearly. Then I was home worriedly waiting for him. The eternal-seeming torture period started then. The dreaded physiotherapist used to come then. The kind man was renamed ***physio the ****** He caused me great pain, I was like a 3-year old. He saw me writhe in pain & I begged for mercy. He continued coming & I remained terrorized. I used to ask my parents if they're actually mine. I was made to disbelieve in them as my parents. I took numbing pills directly into my stomach. I used to remain in sheer terror all day long. I took offence at the sound of the doorbell itself. I was asking my parents if someone would come.

A Struggler's Perspective
Evening darkens upon the moors, Forgiveness—a hairless thing skirting the headlamps, fugitive. Why have we come, traversing the long miles and extremities of solitude, worriedly crisscrossing the wrong maps with directions obtained from passing strangers? Why do we sit, frantically retracing love’s long-forgotten signal points with cramping, ink-stained fingers? Why the preemptive frowns, the litigious silences, when only yesterday we watched as, out of an autumn sky this vast, over an orchard or an onion field, wild Vs of distressed geese sped across the moon’s face, the sound of their panicked wings like our alarmed hearts pounding in unison? My family did get lost in an English moor on a dark moonless night. It happened when I was a boy. My mother was driving and seemed to have no idea where we were, or which direction to head. I wondered if we would ever find civilization again. It was a very spooky experience that I drew on for my poem. Keywords/Tags: England, Devon, moor, car, headlamps, headlights, directions, maps, points, routes, strangers, signals, orchard, field, geese, hearts, relationships, parting, separation, divorce, loneliness, alienation, free verse

East Devon Beacon
I remember the naivety It was like swimming in an ocean The waves prelapsing onto my skin Freezing cold But I stayed. I stayed in the water allowing my to nerves scream Screaming for warmth. Yet my body filled with lust told me to stay. It began to become warmer So I stayed in longer. I had hoped it would fill the vulnerable space I had open. I let it fill me with salty cold water. The skin on my fingers and toes began to fold. Whispering upon the folds worriedly 'Enough'. I resisted 'ENOUGH' the folds screamed. My legs begin to move towards the oceans shore. The water droplets trickle down slowly but surely My face, My lips, My body, Now exposed to what used to be welcoming air. The air now filled with angry wind, whips my body, Harshly shouting 'Why, o why?' 'Why have you given your body to the ocean?' My lips, unable to move shiver against the wind's whips. 'Guide me back' my hair says trembling with mercy, damp of water. The wind's whips weaken. 'Follow the path', 'Follow the path of rightousness' The wind forgivingly breathes into my lungs Gasping, finally giving me the warmth and sweet taste of air

My local pharmacy was exceptionally busy today Worriedly,I scan the pharmacy line For any signs of people; coughing, sick, in any way I don’t have a mask I’m not protected My mind was freaking out after all those sick people came For medication of one kind or another People are dying Have they been around Someone with the flu Nursing them, contagious Nervously I wait. They call my name No information,silently The pharmacist grabs an arm, sticks the needle in my arm gives me the shot Pushes the medicine in Hands me a paper Consequently Telling me , as he walks away “It takes ten days before Your protected” I sit there swimming with questions He is gone As I walk from the store Several sensations occur immediately My arm hurts instantly At the shot sight Although the needle was tiny throbbing pain works it’s way Down my whole arm By the time I start the car My head is pounding Within the first block My head is pounding so much It hurts behind my eyes Anxiety of the unknown symptoms sets in I have alway been very careful Getting behind the wheel of a car On any medication “I can make it home” I chant as I drive “I’m close, almost there” My body feels strange I’m home in 7 minutes I’m safe breath, sigh relax My chest feels like someone’s sitting on it It’s hard to breathe My oxygen saturation level drops into the mid 80s I make sure my husband knows Where the paperwork is As I explain to him all my symptoms Reactions to the flu shot I feel euphoric nauseous consumes me, holding it in Vomiting is dangerous for me taking time releases medications I take something for the stomach Pulling on my pjs And climbing into bed Making dinner, not an option I wake up 4 hours later My symptoms have leveled out The chest still tight breathing a bit less labored However,All other symptoms Have exacerbated an aching in all my joints I mange to eat leftovers my stomach feels better My head still in a fog The next day is a struggle To get moving I realize how strong this strain of the flu is I get the flu shot every year And have never experienced These reactions I know everyone is different But take caution when getting the flu shot Go home immediately afterwards Preferably have someone with you

I ran through the near dead fields Turned my face to look at the approaching sun Saw a friend up ahead who'd taken the lead Man, I remember how that ****** could run He saw my eyes then glanced away Running with hastier speed up ahead I lurched my back, holding a minute to stay Then pushed my corpse forward like pencil lead Crashing gulls flicked their beaks skyward Waves soared worriedly & quietly I put down my pack, scanning the horizon skyward Searching for a message that lay discretely The God's had planned this place with no certain goal An experiment made from the cauldrons of the unknown A transparent figure dances with smooth dead marble The echo of my voice becomes a fond youthful warble Tell the cities, the farms, the outhouses, and all of nature That the beauty that lay there is all we need Money is nothing but a cat n' mouse in the pasture The grinning Devil's heavy hearted plead He reached the peak of the mountain He sat there high & proud, taking out his fountain Eyes meeting he stepped off, a note left, away from me forever He was always stubborn, always so ****** clever

Mr. Clever
The late afternoon sun peeks worriedly through the window , too afraid to touch the bed on which I lie living , next to the dead. He breaths faintly , a whispered ghost morbidly fatigued by the loneliness he chokes on. Every breath is a lifetime and this immortal man has died like the old gods over and over again. His bones rattle as his spirit tirelessly shakes and shudders in the cold of his heart. Although sweat poured out of every overheated part of his broken body... I could see winter on the horizon of his faded eyes. That is when I knew that summer never came over the thresholds of such a broken life. And inside his soul gave up playing his ribs like an anxious xylophone. Summer never came, but I fear winter is in fact closer to it's inevitable absence.

Summer never came
New year’s Day is just another day I celebrate it in a different way Don’t want to drink tasty wine And dance with beautiful women I don’t believe in the ritual A festival should be more spiritual I don’t spend a day merrily And the next day worriedly I don’t want to voraciously eat food Like animals in the wood And visit friends’ houses To give costly flower bouquets Instead I want to introspect With a retrospective effect What did I do last year? Were my goals really clear? I will plan for the New Year And implement it without any fear Set very small things as my target And try to reach them as a rocket

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE
A quick shimmer of glittering, blinding light peers down at me worriedly through the green, leafy tree tops and I turn my sleeping body round covering myself in a blanket of earth hiding my half-opened eyes in a pillow of leaves as the bright rays continue to call good morning, good morning and I groan five more minutes, sun but the beaming light is hard to ignore as my skin soaks in its warmth so I give in and peel myself off the ground and listen to the rumbling waters of a nearby river as they whisper good morning, good morning.

I sometimes write Of stories and fantasies And these words spill from my fingers Frighteningly effortlessly as they tell Of passionate romances and crushing heart shatters and death of innocence But I've never felt these things and I feel fraudulent and cruel Claiming feelings to which I have no right And I wonder where these words come from that Spill so easily from my finger tips Because they aren't from experience And they aren't true Rereading them only embarrasses and confuses me So should I validate them at all? Mom peers at me worriedly as I try to convince her that I only used first person for form purposes As I try to prove to her that this was (some bizarre) imagination and not some reality she wasn't aware of I don't know how a kiss would feel on my lips. Love and infatuation are strangers to my heart and mind. I don't know how it hurts to be truly rejected or hated by someone I love. To be so enraptured in someone else that the lines between us fade: a foreign and unfamiliar concept to my soul. I don't know how hard it is to make mistakes in romances. I've never come home giddy and unable to stop smiling because of a boy. I don't know. There's so very much I do not know. And the absence of that knowledge feels like an object I don't have a place for inside my home of a mind. Awkward and in the way and too obvious But I don't know if I want to get rid of it yet. It's oddity has become a part of me, And it's absence would mean grieving a change I'm not prepared for.

HOW I WANT TO SPEND CHRISTMAS
Currently Grasping the fraying rope At both ends Firm hold Keeping us From splitting in two Just as I ought to Currently Worriedly pacing the floorboards Before mortars Waiting for a knock on my door or A phone call if you’re savvy or An SMS like a daddy Angry and in all caps to his daughter because she defied her father and stayed out longer than she oughta And I’m currently Physically staying in place and Mentally running away, 3 p.m. train to a better day Like the teenage girl who was ****** cause she had to be home at 10:30 and it wasn’t even a school day But hey I digress currently Hurriedly thinking of everything beautiful in life to decide If it’s worth it The answers sit unaware like prey The questions come back like predators and they’re lurking If Jesus was a thief, should I be stealing or learning Is thinking helping or hurting It sounds good on paper but the feeling’s disconcerting Bending and turning Waist deep in a swift current currently on bended knee Scanning skies for an elusive heaven Waiting on something, but not too surely, for if salvation decides not to come to me I’d walk anywhere to the crystal stair To get me where I want to be I’ll get there eventually Even though I’m not there yet I won’t let it start disturbing me Currently

circular pathways but some grinning thief has made off with every aspect of direction he could pry off the roadsings so the soft hand normal Joe's all just pile up in a corner looking worriedly at the passing crowds hoping to catch some mental relief for their moral delemias and tickets to ride the soft ride they are the nine to five crowd and its hard for them to digest all this street kid lingo all this dark of night dumpster dive she squats in the road to pass gas and pick her own pocket for its semblance of change the hover kings stand round and keep a wary eye on her proceedings after all its only natural they are depending on her for cash flow but all she has managed so far is to get tears flowing she thouse one of thouse break your hearts over and over kind of faces she rescues the normal Joe's sends em on their way the sunbelt in winter and after all the barnburners have packed up their stainless steel plastic wear and formed a caravan of semi's headed ever south into the industrial lights of miami night it comes down to people like her and her very human open hearted approach to make this day worth living through its her rough but realistic hopes that make this day worth believing

sunbelt in winter
One mysterious day , I woke up lately... Striving still,to finish the broken dream completely. Peeping out from the windows, were the Sun's glow. But I was in no mood to give up my pillow.... With an eye opened and other closed.....stretching and yawning, I did shut the windows. Though that moment, something more worse awaited for me, surely. Seeing which i even cried, worriedly..... Dirts scattered here and dirts scattered there, smiling at me like a devil, present there..... Next moment, I was sitting in the empty room, holding in hand.....a stupid BROOM !!!!

wrecked-up SUNDAY
Sheila enters the kitchen where her mother is at the stove cooking. You've still got that muck around your eyes, get it off I said, her mother says, first words, eyeing her. I will, Sheila says, what did you want me for? Ella said you wanted me. Her mother studies her for few seconds. O yes, Ella said something about you seeing a boy at school, what boy is this, and why are you seeing a boy, and at your age? Her mother says, standing hands on hips, eyes peering as if they were hooks to reel in the truth from Sheila's head. Just a boy I was talking with, that's all, no big deal, Sheila says. I'll tell you if it's a big deal, as you call it, and besides Ella said you were sitting on the grass with him; I hope you are not up to something, my girl, I won't have it, her mother says. We just talked, and what do you mean up to something? What something do you mean? Sheila says, her voice rising a bit above her normal level. Don't you raise your voice to me, young girl, or we will be having words, her mother says, her voice louder than usual. We are having words, Sheila says, anyway, I was just talking to him, nothing else, despite what that holy ***** Ella says. Her mother peers down at her, her hand ready to slap Sheila's face, she takes a huge intake of breath, then sits down in one of the nearby chairs, and holds her breast, and looks at Sheila. My asthma, don't get me wound up, now go wash that muck off, and don't answer back, and leave boys alone until you are old enough to handle them. Her mother sits back, and closes her eyes. Sheila stands there worriedly. Sorry you get you riled, and shall I get your asthma mask? Sheila says. Her mother nods, and puts her hands on her knees. Sheila brings the mask, and gives it to her mother, then stands watching her put the mask on, and take deep breathes; she's seen it all before, like watching a thousand deaths.

I've been holding back the tears For years and trying to be strong enough to hold this for so long. Try to smile and understand every situation just not to disturb and cause any trouble to anyone. And then that night I burst into tears for I cannot hold it anymore, and then he asked worriedly.. "Why are you crying?" I keep on crying and crying, heavily, I barely breath, then all I can say is, "I don't know if you do understand me" My tone sounds begging for him to finally understand me, the pain he unconsciously putting on me And then he answered, "Babe, I do understand you, I just don't know what to do" Now I don't know which hurts me more, The thought of he does not actually understand the pain that I am going through, Or the fact that he knows about it but doesn't care that much that left him nothing to do

I sit on this comfortable branch I have worn grooves into the bark with talons grasp I have weathered many storms. There was then a wind blowing in January that made the limb sway and I worriedly cooed, I was so sure this storm would pass on, as all the others had, I loved the home, I perched on; felt as safe as in a nest, the winds of change blew; and I found I must fly again into the cold winds of change, I soar again.

That thing you gave me— I have it still all these years later. I found it the other day, half-hidden, like a folded sweater in a forgotten trunk. You were young then, lovely, haggard like an orchid softly wilting in unforgiving heat. Wasting amazon, pain deep within your legs, resting like a queen on a stone sarcophagus. When the boy read to you, did you hear his stumbling words, from the frayed blue book? Or was your troubled mind wandering elsewhere, on some trackless, stubbled field? He felt only the touch of your hand on his hair, the warm pulse of your breath on his forehead and eyelashes. In the church balcony: Water Music. Fingers stretched above the keys, pipe ***** bright and sonorous. Down below, the congregants gazed upon the pulpit awaiting the benediction. Soul souring, heart filling. God was great. Shimmering like Artemis in her glade, you stood reflected in a mirror on the closet door, gowned in emerald satin— a last look at makeup before he calls upstairs that the car is ready. You smiled as you turned to go, fabric swishing against your legs. Uncertain memory insists you smiled, if only momentarily to unclench the grip upon your windpipe, the blunt pain deep inside your femur, the dark edge arcing at the horizon in your dreams or waking gaze. In that still stratum of existence, that lilting stream of secret thought where no son or daughter enters in, there the soul walks with worry day and night lost in a whispered discourse. We must have all bathed in that gentle stream, its silent water lapping at our feet. When you looked up, distracted, as if from reading Donne or Herbert your ruminations cannot have been unsensed. That thing you gave me, that dark gift, I bear like a secret beneath my winter coat. I know you never meant it to be mine. But the glade was darkening when you walked that field and your gaze was fixed worriedly on a shimmering in the distant woods.

i go back--three steps, four steps, five i search for what i said wrong i wonder how you never knew it was in my eyes--my breath, my lips, my cheeks i collected every second you gave me like treasures from the past that will mean only more in the future be patient i said soon you'll notice--care, wish, love i was never patient--three steps, four steps, five in our youth i wanted it now--attention, fondness, grace and i found it others but it was never enough it took a decade of you to understand why it wasn't enough my life was always dark--cloudy, dreary, waiting thunder sounded in my heart from the moment i met you i pushed it aside to a place i never looked but lightning always follows thunder--three steps, four steps, five when it hit rain poured all over me over our memories--our happiness, our comfort, our truth once you're struck by lightning everything changes it was darker--three steps, four steps, five and my lips trembled trying to contain the words i've been struck i wanted to scream but i couldn't you weren't struck a breath can only be held for so long--three steps, four steps, five when it released you held me--delicately, carefully, worriedly but it was too much all at once and you dropped me something shatters not the lightning bolt in my heart not the sky of darkness in my mind but our memories--our happiness, our comfort, our truth you walk away--three steps, four steps, five

something shatters
t'was when tears stung my eyes like the harsh wind outside that i knew she was just a passerby; a leaf from the tree so worriedly looking in at me blown and lifted away. t'was within the pages of my favorite book that i fought my worst war; my memories of her were rekindling to an inferno but fading with the words on the paper. t'was her, always her, that saved me. t'was her name for me, "moquino," that i want on my headstone just as, "sofia," was printed on hers. t'was her, always her, that took a part of me when she left, for t'was her and only her that was me.

You winced when I kissed you And said that it burned That night Alone I remembered your eyes Burning through me Like I had hurt you Worriedly I touched my lips To my wrist But they'd gone cold And calling you a liar Would hurt more than your kind of truth Because that same night Without believing it You told me you loved me So I kissed you again But it was selfish And I never wanted to do harm So I've been afraid to touch you Since then Even though I'd love nothing more Than to brand your neck The shape of my mouth And call you mine

Since Then
Sweet the girl and tender her age, She's too young for the fire's rage. But, alas, the law still stands, And punishment for her crime demands. Little Oshichi, that greengrocer girl, Her hands, restrain; and hair, unfurl. She stands upright against the stake, Weeping as she regrets her mistake. She had fallen in love with a page, While a fire had roared and raged. As her house was burnt away, Love, within her heart, gave way. Entranced, enraptured, and captured with him, Oshichi went forth on a fanciful whim. Believing that it would bring them together, She struck a flint and started a fire. A clanging tocsin pierced the night, "Me-gumi, hark! There's a fire to fight!" A throng of ***** steeplejack boys Rush to the scene with swaggering poise. Oshichi now gazed in horror, aghast, Watching as the fire spread fast– Her dream of meeting her youthful lover Set ablaze with burning desire. Arrested, tried, and sentenced to suffer, The judge, kind sir, tried his best to save her. "Are you not 15?" he asked, worriedly. "I'm 16, my lord," she answered meekly. Bewildered and anxious, he asked yet again, "Surely you're 15, young one, dear saint?" She bowed her head and shed a tear. "No... I'm 16," she answered with fear. Cursing his fate, the judge had no choice. He gave his sentence with a downcast voice: "Yaoya Oshichi–what girl so tender– Shall be burnt an arson offender." Bound and burnt for want of love, Oshichi lifts her gaze above. Weeping as her smoke ascends, She cries to heaven, its mercy lend. At last, Oshichi succumbs to the fire, Consumed by passion borne of desire. Sweet the girl and bitter the flame, As her lover cries out her name.

Cherry Blossoms Aflame
Sweet the girl and tender her age, She's too young for the fire's rage. But, alas, the law still stands, And punishment for her crime demands. Little Oshichi, that greengrocer girl, Her hands, restrain; and hair, unfurl. She stands upright against the stake, Weeping as she regrets her mistake. She had fallen in love with a page, While a fire had roared and raged. As her house was burnt away, Love, within her heart, gave way. Entranced, enraptured, and captured with him, Oshichi went forth on a fanciful whim. Believing that it would bring them together, She struck a flint and started a fire. A clanging tocsin pierced the night, "Me-gumi, hark! There's a fire to fight!" A throng of ***** steeplejack boys Rush to the scene with swaggering poise. Oshichi now gazed in horror, aghast, Watching as the fire spread fast– Her dream of meeting her youthful lover Set ablaze with burning desire. Arrested, tried, and sentenced to suffer, The judge, kind sir, tried his best to save her. "Are you not 15?" he asked, worriedly. "I'm 16, my lord," she answered meekly. Bewildered and anxious, he asked yet again, "Surely you're 15, young one, dear saint?" She bowed her head and shed a tear. "No... I'm 16," she answered with fear. Cursing his fate, the judge had no choice. He gave his sentence with a downcast voice: "Yaoya Oshichi–what girl so tender– Shall be burnt an arson offender." Bound and burnt for want of love, Oshichi lifts her gaze above. Weeping as her smoke ascends, She cries to heaven, its mercy lend. At last, Oshichi succumbs to the fire, Consumed by passion borne of desire. Sweet the girl and bitter the flame, As her lover cries out her name.

[ Mothers are happy ]
Waiting, impatience, nervousness. Imagination too broad to bare with this moment. The sound of sirens ringing in my ears, announcing awful news. Vehicle passing, rising filth, indeterminable urgency. Drops of sweat, one by one, drift down my forehead, cheeks, neck, back. Paranoia causes dark horrific stink of blood in my nostrils, goose flesh spreading rapidly from head to toes. Burning ache around my heart, every throb seems like the last one. * Five minutes after agreed time, you came running to my side under the Central square's clock. "Sorry I'm late" you said, hugged me and kissed my cheek. At the last moment, I stopped tears from overflowing. Worriedly, you asked: "Is everything okay?" Sheepishly smiling, I replied: "Yes, of course. My brain's just playing tricks on me." Like nothing ever happened...

Imagination
The feeling of November Cold harsh nights of secrets and confessions Of stories untold but with each other's ears we talked until they bled and I remember that feeling of peace I hadn't felt since May 2016 and who knew you were the perfect recipe? I look back at my past with a sense of regret but hearing you tell me of your chapters of the book that is still being written made me review my life in the eyes of another and I look at it as a novelty. You held my hand as we dissected the who's and the why's of our lives and we laughed in the darkness of your room on your air mattress and we was more than melting into each other in the night, even before I knew I loved you, we were kinetic, energetic, magnetic A heart that had to much pride to let go A heart that had so much love to give Bodies that were making their own temples of unity You always held me firmly You opened my eyes to you and I felt you everywhere and you were the only thing I felt and I seen you and you're still the only thing I see and you proclaimed your love to me So sweetly You love me "Did you hear me?" You asked, worriedly Your voice was already engraved into my heart of course I did, but I couldn't get those words out of my throat and my voice stopped working, suddenly "You don't have to say it back, I just wanted to let you know" I want you to know too, but.. You love me though! You dropped me off that night with a full heart and an even fuller smile. I'm addicted. Working, sleeping, face timing, talking, laughing, hiding, dating.. One night singing old blues and show tunes lying in your room, our legs tangled into two and looking at you "Da-dum da-dum da-dum" my heart was beating so loud to the beats of the phrase "I love you" that kept getting caught inside a fight with my pride right behind my teeth and at the tip of my tongue Our love won the fight "You do?" You asked, happily "I love you too"
