Articulating Poems

Consumed

The floor is consuming me conspicuously,
While I'm staring at the ceiling ridiculously.
I can't move, no matter how hard I try,
Paralyzed, I feel; I can't deny.

I'm screaming and gasping and dying and crying,
Panting and trying. Yes, trying.
I try, I do, trust me, I'm trying.
I'm alive, but I'm dead.
Maybe it's all in my head.
It's contagious, like lead.

There's an uneasy, hollow pit in me
That won't let me be.
It's haunting me everywhere,
Ruining every smile I share.
It's getting so heavy to bear,
Insufferable, its silent shriek
Conveys the world as bleak.

There's no self; 
Nothing matters.
You think I need help?
What's the point? Everything shatters.
My face is as blank as a canvas, crisp and pale.
Tears articulating art, flawed and frail.
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care.

Demonstrative dedication

Easy to entrance the sycophants watch their helpless dance their back and forth swaying and swooning, in cunnilingual somniloquence.
Droning and drooling with flattering and fawning, turgently swelling, spouting placating pleasantries, a mess of gushing adulation.
Self exultation, craving congratulation by consensus for another conventional  sensation, clamouring for congratulation in lurid inflated infatuation.
Curtailing castigation, striving in strides as pedestrian asperation gives rise to typical inspiration, stillted it saunters soulessly, provoking predicable platitudes.
Dreary dedication denoting the humdrum and the ho-hum, tirelessly tiring, offering effortlessly banal bestowments bequeathing a tepid tranquillising testimonial.
Uniform, unchanged, unilateral applause, amplifying abysmal analogies, articulating dearth depictions of derivative denotations.
Cryptic quips collapse carelessly caused by cumbersome correlating contradictions, deviating detrimentally forth fatuous flutterings.
Stale sentiment, sterile superfluous suppositions, garishly guilded in grandure,
Repetitious rudimentary ruminations, repackaged and retold.

My      intertwined shrine, beating eternally within a cosmic trochaic, as min
          Mystic troubadours tell tell heart, shalom, I beseech thee to stay calm, oblivion
       In articulating the orator prodigy, they too, let me down with the subtlest clue, refrain
           Serenity taken a vow, to greet the suffocating spur, speech impediment to rush , her lame
           T’was plethora a remnant efforts of lonely mourner days and nights, so long to belong
           Sonorous, I was a reverie there, of your playful churn , yours pleasant companion
This day, with you in me , you stay there,  festive to know my may
               To rejuvenate a soul sharing you and me, splashed once to say, wills met the other day!.

Lenin: The Corners That Circled Life

My short story continues with this insightful excerpt:

A Century Turns: Soviet Union's Life Expectancy: II

"A fictional perspective of articulating an ambitious nature that hinges on varied facts," ... by the Poet.

And now ... the school bell has rung. The park that he pleasures in both muscularity and mentality, ills in parity--in a nutshell--the school has taught him that the eraser is the better half of a pencil. It is always the seldom used that comes to the aid and heals the whole abused. That illuminating factor was his focal point that would encourage his future from the descension of the crown, and to the ascension of communism's embrace.

The Poetry Nympho

Butterfly stomach
Evolves the
Nympho of poetry
Jumping
Around the
Mystical forest
Inside my
Neurotic soul.

Been
Articulating the sounds of
Raindrops
Tearing from my soul.
Lactating acid
Evaluates my pooling eyes ... the nympho sits 
Yogi style on a piece of poetical digesting bread.

Zen Mode

in articulating the offered sensation
which has no fulcrum, being a flow
continuum renewal our play station
it’s futile to crystallise sunset’s glow

awareness self-aware, one with life
an ever present bubbling effervescence 
arouses within form magnetism tingling
seductive bliss dance our quintessence

Zen Mode

thought, before it crystallises
articulating heart’s emote
let’s go to the source
for it conceals
a hidden longing
seeking a movement 
that soul may feel enriched 
which presupposes it feels lack

immersion of attention in dreams
does it stem from spontaneity 
or is it childlike playfulness 
witnessing responses
of illusionary ego identity
slumbering in hypnotic trance
that soul’s reflex instincts be seen
measuring extent of love enablement

Coming Out Party

An active adolescent auld adored
before bipolar behavior began,
articulating anger all abhorred,
became Beelzebub’s best boogeyman.

Called clergy congregated, confident,
discerning deep down, devilish divide;
collectively cajoled - concomitant
deemed demonic delivery denied.

Extinguishing exorcism’s effect,
(for fiendish foe, ferocious, fiercely fought)
escaping existentially erect,
found friars’ faith faint-hearted, fairly fraught.

Gregarious, ghost gracious greeting graunts;
hereupon, his holy harassers haunts.

————-

graunt - an archaic spelling of grant

alliteration using the letters of the rhyme pattern: abab cdcd efef gh - a sonnet's rhyme pattern would end in 'gg', but went with a 'gh' couplet, well, because...

silly, struggled with this one - reminds me a little of the Sons of Sceva mentioned in Chapter 19 of Acts...

Doggerel

The eyes would rather not engage the world.
Cotton mouth, parched, and aware of a thirst.
The muscles, lobbying to remain curled.
Feet swing to the floor, prepared for the worst.

Stiffness escapes in most audible groans.
Shuffling, a zombie, a gruesome undead.
Articulating two hundred plus bones
Fills the old body with deep sense of dread.

Missy don’t care or she knows how to cure;
Calling me upward and into the day.
The life of a dog, so simple and pure:
There’s time to rest, but it’s now time to play.

First cup of coffee; I just might survive.
Greet the day boldly, alert and alive.

My Face

My eyes are dreary 
They have been open for way too long 
Witnessing 
Experiencing 
But my eyes know this is not the sight to see
My heart is tired 
It has been loving for way too long 
Feeling 
Discerning 
But my heart knows it shouldn't be giving 
My mouth is exhausted 
It has been silent for way too long 
Expressing 
Articulating 
But my mouth knows that they don't care

Earth Empowers Life

Earth empowers life
by further expressing
natural well-being
cooperatively articulating 
spiritually positive
(so not traumatically negative) 
emotions

Of SunMuse sacred
sanguine songs
panentheistically felt anticipation,
communally confirmed,
transubstantiating health needs
therapeutic wants
more than trauma confrontational management.

I can feel
and hear musical Beauty,

As also musing
sometimes amusing 
bipartisan Truth

In Earth developing
neurosensory ecological history,
multi-enculturing theological mystery
of a procreative 
systematic
organic
symphonic Tree.

Strolling In Autumnal Vibes

Oh! how gracefully the trees, flaunting splendor lilt
Swaying autumn’s palettes in rhythms of winds ruby 

As the sun is setting, flaming glow of gamboge skies
Amber breeze is blushing rosy glimmer of eventide
And robins are excavating pecking on decaying lawn
Where ducks are ambling, ogling seductive bond
Amid people strolling, pausing to gaze at opaline arc
Floating crimson filaments on tinted purple canvas
Enhanced by falling colors whirling mellowed vibes
In twilight’s golden ambiance alluring romantic eyes

Gleam of eve’s fading, ceding reign to peeking moon
As scent of you appeals, quiescently enveloping me
Enchanting where I sit, under twinkling stellar magic
Enticed by euphony of mockingbird’s sensuous song
Articulating for me eloquently, love is never too far
When autumn blazes passions titillating lovers’ hearts

Gabriel's Glories Cometh

As the real aura of our better angels presents
That they are essential to historical events
It stirs and shakes one to the core of reverence
Infidel's ancient cries refrain far faint ringing
Winging their will of distant darkness, way off singing
Articulating it into nature's aria

Gabriel spreads gloried messages with wide white wings
Touching three theologies: all Abrahamic faiths -
Includes Christianity, Judaism and Islam
Archangels may cometh once every few hundred years
Gabriel brings grace as it's needed, it appears
His broad arching flaming feathers cover every verse
Angelic influence flows forever beyond sages

When Gabriel appears from the side of the Divine
To tell mortals of their roles in this passion sublime 
So says Jesus' scriptures and Muhammed's Quran pages
Karmic grace does glow glory across all of life's phases
Then from within, overlook the thought that belief is fear
Hold back the black and let light lead us on, start right here
Gabriel gazes the universe beatifically

The Audience of Feelings Falls Silent

From the draping noise of unnerving distraction
The voices return to where they come from
To modulate the expressions not made clear
For the boundless enclosure of the open mind.

When the cacophony of the outside melts away
The voices rise from the depth of solitude within
Articulating the rhythm of engrossed essence 
The sound of silence then enwraps the unsaid.

In the frigid expanse of the mind’s seamless space
The sentiments become restive for warm embrace
To unfurl the sensuous petals of blooming feelings
In harmony with the heart’s symphony of spring.

In the arena of mind the tune of emotion echoes
From the melodic sanctum of sonorous tranquility
When the soul resonates with divine music of bliss
The audience of fervent feelings falls silent.
