to the Man In My Head

Man In My Head, 

You live there– 
(here I should say) 
but I suppose I don’t need to tell you that.
You’re the one making your space.

You’re forever within the confines of my mushy, distorted headspace;
so I ought to pay you a visit.

Ah, Man In My Head, you’re quite wonderful–
you know that, right?

My puppet–you can’t hurt me if I’m the one controlling you.
	You don’t make me sick with shame, regret, disillusionment–not like they do.
My shapeshifter–you morph into different beings, taking on whom and what I need most.
	And, that, Man In My Head, is why you don’t have a name.
My comfort–you’re there when I need you; you disappear when I don’t.
But an idea can only soothe someone for so long.

You aren’t like them, Man In My Head,
You’re different!
	(because I made you that way)

My guarded heart can open to your gleaming eyes (honey brown today), guaranteeing safety. 
I’m daring myself–deluding myself–to believe in you.
Yet–you’re just a dream, 
my dream.

And, here I am, waiting.
Working in solidarity with delusions, dreams, deceptions—
contentedly coping and waiting and pining
for you, Man In My Head.

AND YOU DON’T EXIST !

A figment of my imagination, guaranteeing the impossible “safety”, 
but never enough to save me completely,
and that’s all that you are.

My single pill of ibuprofen to soothe the pain of a severed limb,
the pollution permeating my body could be purified by your embrace,

But, Man In My Head, you’re not real! 
	(please disagree with me, please be real)

I wish it were you that could
trace the soft palms of my fragile hands,
caress the warm plains of my forearms,
delicately dancing your fingers over the emerald and mauve running under my skin.

The Others aren’t so nice, Man In My Head.

Man In My Head, you always stay with me.
Thank you for that.

Yet, no matter how much I wish, I hope, I wait,
you are nothing more
–you can’t be anything more–
than

the man in my head.

Jagged Jaws of Smelted Steel Not the Title:

Premium Member Russian To Judgement

Once again, we feel the suffering, as war spreads
Its poison, to kill and overtake.
While much of the world seeks to separate,
From an aggressor seeking unity through heartache.

The two combatants couldn't be further apart,
When it comes to beliefs & independence to be.
All but guaranteeing a long and bloody conflict,
Where neither really wins, it's just a tragedy.

If modern history has taught us anything, it's that
Regardless of size or armament, the bigger can often fall.
Hence this fact should weigh heavily on those,
Contemplating any attacks against the small.

This reasoning is often validated by the reality, that
The conflict really is about the need for resources.
And that the many battles to be fought, tend to 
Be reinforced by those mighty air forces.

Yet we've seen the battlefields change dramatically, 
From the ground and skies, to economics & dollars involved.
Where both bullets and bankruptcies can defeat the most
Powerful, leaving the vanquished weakened and dissolved.

Ill Suited For Madcap Twenty First Century World

Aghast at explosive industrialization/
urbanization once sacred wild woodland

upon unsullied "new world" defining

Earth tendered, predicated, linkedin with
generations worth of sacredness, which

spiritual reverence meant naught to
unwelcome trespassers solely hell bent
to force acquiescence, compliance,

incursions sought extinction toward

defenceless native inhabitants subject
to machinations spelling extermination,
yet their restless spirits infiltrate occupants

devoid of present schlocky vinyl zoned

abodes, whereby fast disappearing vestige
alluding to pastoral vista spurs overactive
imagination regarding yours truly, who

Premium Member What If There Was No Tomorrow

Meaning of oath no longer has a covenant
Guaranteeing to future commitment of pledge
Rendering futile all promises of yesterdays 
As grief ridden past dominates today's sorrow
For hope's now dead, as there's no tomorrow.

Yet, I reminisce within glory of daybreaks
And opulence of colors in grandeur of sunsets
Spinning on earth's axis as night follows day
Across all continents where vast oceans reign,

And vibrant blue sky makes bold new claims
About perpetual dawns boasting on its domain
Bond of enduring love that never ever ends
Where enchanted dreams ecstatically chase.

Alas, I grasp grudgingly realities I must face--
Eternal that was indelible lasts only till today
And definition of infinity forever has changed--
Precious little time left that was once endless.

So I bid farewell, before world-beloved dissipates,
To memoirs of yore, allures of tomorrow;
Shedding all regrets, purging lovelorn woes,
Cherishing instead most intimate ornate secrets
Arrayed in desires of beautiful flower bouquets
Granting love romantic stage for one final play.

Premium Member Every Year, Just After Christmas


Every year, just after Christmas,
I’m left with memories…
Pretty paper and happy ribbons,
Waiting beneath a tree,
Bustle of hearts, merrily laughing,
Devouring meals from hands
Who sliced and kneaded, baking…
Some of the tastiest cuisines.

Every year, just after Christmas,
I’m left with whispers…
From hearts who believe,
They’ve been given the greatest blessings,
Gentle lights, falling softly,
Surrounding hearts with beauty and peace,
Dancing in the candle’s flame…
Warmth that erases winter’s chill.

Every year, just after Christmas,
I’m left with a generous spirit,
One who sees through the greed,
Into the breathless hues of joyful dreams,
Soothing sounds of contented hearts,
Quiet kiss of a frosty moment,
When the miracle, the wonder…
Of Christmas settles into my soul.

Every year, just after Christmas,
I’m left with a serenity, a feeling,
Flowing through my veins,
In calming colors of grace,
Reassuring me that, because of Him,
This Jesus, who saved me from doom,
There is a promise, 
Guaranteeing there is room…
In heaven, with Him – Christ, who knew…

Before I was born, 
I would know Him as Lord
And, I’d give Him my heart…
Proof that love has come to us,
Those who believe,
Those who receive… the miracle,
Jesus, God’s Son – the blessing…
That blessed the whole world!

Every year, just after Christmas,
I am reminded that He is here,
Living in my heart,
Giving with love that declares…
With Him, His love, His light,
I can know that the meaning of Christmas…
And, the meaning of life itself,
Is alive and well, and no one can sell…
This love He gave me when He forgave me,
The miracle of a love that saved me!

Mother Earth Day

Within womb universe’s birth
nebulous placenta housed 
seeds of life and white lily
billions of years in future

mid-wifery lady Madonna i.e. Gaia
twill abort... cancel... fail 
cosmic amniotic fluid infinitesimal kernel 
unknowingly intimated mother earth

giver of extant flora and fauna
unleashed post big bang cosmic explosion
galactic matter ala Jackson Pollack 
across void

impregnating fecund celestial field
embryonic entities 
germinating gamut multifarious 
floral fauna spectrum
 
primordial soupy miasma
evolving millennial timeframe
distinct organisms *****sapiens 
master exploiter oblate spheroid
 
usurped emiment domain
epitomized goddess of fertility
silent ovation humanity 
predecessors ovulated

promulgating tentatively robust 
quite pathological population
within clustered cloistered 
substantial redoubts

mollycoddled, nursed  
swaddled by ancestral 
gracias moma mia
abba cud dab bra figures, 
whose maternal role
 
guarded vulnerable progeny,
outfoxing invisible World Wide Web 
building inexorably linked network 
indomitable strength
against wild things 
guaranteeing subsequent generations  
flourishing webbed unbridled success
prompted contemporary bipedal hominid

chance genetic dice throw 
origin of species weathering travails  
horrendous maternal sacrifices
inducing  acknowledgement 
unknown female forebears!

Metaphorically Tethered To Invisible Umbilical Cord

Peter Pan Syndrome the most
accurate way to summarize
psychological mindset of yours truly,
particularly as a boy with brown eyes,
who did NOT holistically acclimatize

himself with peers, which insecurity
latched deadbolt draw
bridge guaranteeing Harris
parasite to cannibalize
(figuratively), sans rip

pull sieve flesh eating das guise
nanobot, while clinging with dear life
to mother's apron strings, no surprize
unavoidably, predictably, inevitably,
trauma did successfully burglarize

(more serious than Watergate)
rendering this withdrawn, small size
passive, and docile pipsqueak
human punching bag to other guys,
one puny slip shape lad's bodily statecraft

always ready to capsize
silently suffering lifetime, threatening
afflictions, harming easy target
inculcating aghast fear to socialize
compounded by stature quite undersize

additionally afflicted with minor defect
submucous cleft palate did compromise
vocalization with severe nasality
(iterated previously other poems), where
bullies did zero Kamikaze like to criticize

relentlessly, an ideal
defenceless, friendless, 
and helpless "scapegoat" booby prize
scared kid, who stood
stock still cowering in an agonize

zing posture, while my whole felt as if tied
into gordian knot as
"hoodlums" did gleefully antagonize,
yet never confided hostile treatment
to either parent, I wanted to disappear
and DIE, hence escapist wishes aye did fantasize!
