Epiphany: a Poet In Love

Did Shakespeare ever fall in love?
A rose by any other name would 
stink as sweet!
What would Y'eshua say if indeed 
Magdalene was his favorite disciple?
What miracles would he impress her 
with
So as to savor her forbidden apple?
O woman!
Is that why god made you last of all 
nature's enviable beauty?
If before he said let there be light
You were the first thing his devine 
eyes saw
I bet creation would have been a 
different theory altogether.

If love at first sight was a figure of 
speech
Then I swear I love you like a 
metaphor
And your smile is a typo
They meant to say a simile
I will kiss your face like a blank page
And my lips will be the tip of my 
pencil
Drawing drooling hieroglyphs like 
the hand of god
Inscribing Ten Commandments of 
Love
On the tablets of your breasts
Because my name is Moses
A stammerer on a voyage to save a 
lonely soul
From the shackles of cynicism
On love affairs.

I would love to laugh while making 
rough love to you 
On the dark floor of my solitude cell
Where torn pages of amatuerish 
poems lay as a carpet
Because you are my words:

Maybe your face is the sky
And your eyes are the stars
Maybe your laughter is a symphony
Of a million harps from a million 
virgin angels

I have written about love a million 
times
And still you remain elusive
A mystery
Are you an acrostic;
So each letter tells your tale?
Maybe a couplet or limerick?
Are you a sonnet? Or a ballad? Or a 
metre without a rhyme?
Maybe you are a mere syllable I 
mumble at every sudden ******.
Your body is a symmetry of regular 
ryhthm
Consumate from five to seven
And back to five
Haiku:
Japanese poets should build a 
pedestal for you
And all lustful lads
Should come and slink the slank at 
your feet
Indeed lady,
Your gait and pride and smell of 
shaven armpits and eyeballs might 
make a eunuch have an ********
And that to me
Is amorous injustice!

Tell me,
What can a scribe do?
When all I write about is human 
weakness 
And wickedness?
When writing to me is an escape 
from adjectives I can't utter over a 
cup of coffee?
To me,
The strand of your hair alone
Deserves atleast umpteenth stanzas 
of praise
A prerequisite.

If I say I love you
Will you giggle at my palpability?
Why bore you with parables
When all you yearn for is a touch
And forever?

I will say no more.

Premium Member Adam and Eve - Part Two

A Determined Devil -

As I lay another cedar beam plumb for our home
smoke plumes, serpentine and sulphuric, interrupts the sunshine,
I look below the ridge, Eve standing silent
with weapon in hand,
a woman so grand,
panic has no rest in her person, fear has no finger on her pulse,
I move like lightning, to war by my Lady's side,

Valley vandels have come, scortching field fruit,
searing insidious signs into our peach and apples trees,
incarnate, the Devil disheveled with a defunct posse of three
approaches me, hailing not from a city of Angels but from a ghetto of ghouls,
mean and ugly like ignorance injured by the ivory tusks of innocence,
a madman desperate for the destruction of Divinity,
unskillful and wishful for lies to come alive,
he's a scribbler scribe, a dribbler riddler
a stereotype simpleton, frontin' and gruntin'
fallin short of the great gangsta idol,
just a stereotypical imbecile, a pencil with no lead,
burpin chicken feathers claimin them to be the silk quill of Angels,

I turn to Eve now 
with eyes saying now is the time for demise,
briefly, before I strike steel across the throat of Hell itself
our first promise to each other repeats in my memory,
"I forever fight for you"
as her brown eyes convince me of loyalty, love royal,
she rips her blade through his groin
as I open a river across the throat of this terrible thug...

Raising A Tribe -

Eve, this land is already populated by persons whom seem like us,
although different too, like seasons in soul,
divergent in their dreams for dynasty,
they have dialects from a depth of Dawn
that awoke long before we arrived to thrive here,
customs peculiar as shapes to stones,
Father never spoke of these klans
who strive to survive outside the mercy of His guarded Garden,
competitive as clouds in a shrunken sky,

I met a merchant, a servant to trade,
he told of banners and blood, laws and legacies
cultures savage and cities of crime,
gleamed from telling stories of wealth and wonder,
said they worship their Gods more ways than gold folds,
consider what we have encountered Luv,
will our children slay or be slain, war or work
love or get lost in conquest,
you, as a Woman of God's glorious gambit
have a harvest of futurity's face in the balance,
will you deliver the destiny of our union  into this drama...

Divine Jubilant Providence Unplugged

Inexplicable blessing luckily
avoiding potentially grim fate
finds yours truly coming to grips,
how afterlife did not accommodate

the missus, and/or myself unwittingly
loved ones would never acclimate
reality of our permanent absence,
thus existence all the more I appreciate
and attempt poetically articulate.

Herewith the scenario that defies
conventional atheistic wisdom
finding me unable to square
involving 2009 Hyundai Sonata automobile

driven by spouse or her scribe, who dare
not allude to guardian angel,
yet conundrum inexplicable, when
touted as luck, regarding the rear
wheel bearing (passenger side of car)

that went kaput, blessedly ignorance
attributed absented scare,
yet in retrospect taking stock
i.e. how existence imperilled,
now more grateful than ever

toward life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness,
this in essence potential whipped miracle
of sorts presenting possibility
cosmic creative force continually near.

CJ'S TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE,
(1405 South Township Line Road,
Royersford, Pennsylvania 19468)
intuition doth agree

expert knowledgeable SERVICE
familiar personnel employee
since patronizing said facility
(actually franchise sites
scattered across United States), we

regularly return taking car repeatedly
to team of mainly younger,
but wiser technicians than me,
who realizes scant knowledge, née
absolute zero mechanical ability,

especially regarding
twenty first century vehicles
heavily accoutered
with sophisticated technology.

Now yours truly loops
back to (house at Pooh corner -
think Loggins and Messina)
i.e. core theme
Impossible explanation within
the infinite universe scheme
to explain convincingly fluke

protection against meme
evoking death, demise, destruction,
et cetera regarding as ye gleam
teetotaler who avoids Jim Beam
plus alcohol in general, cuz
prescription medication harmful
unless feeling suicidal to thee extreme.

Thus one garden variety, generic guy
NON GMO android (ha)
he doth not fear
the grim reaper at rapier
or gunpoint, nor mortality do I despair
hoop fully made somewhat crystal clear,
a quandary (one among many

that recurred), whereby air
ring professed nihilistically
skeptical minus impulse to destroy
comprises whether doubting Thomas
(English Muffins) stance 
on wing and prayer
inadequate, obsolete, untenable...

Schooled In Hard Knock Sufferance

Schooled in hard knock sufferance... -
soulful scribe matt er fact - seeks solemn sanctuary

Despite always pledging
allegiance to the flag
academic performance traced, narrated,
graphed... unfavorable zigzag

vertical lined spikes across
x-axis and y-axis displayed
dramatically sharper increased crag
when promoted one grade to the next

how comprehension did lag
attributed to allocating, dag
gone nabbit budgeting, crafting... productive
time usage, plus an affirmative nod,

whereby yours truly did lallygag
evincing object lesson procrastination
study habits shucked off cuz mum did nag
obfuscation regarding illegible note taking
I moost definitely haint gonna brag.

Deplorable curriculum vitae
not hearty and hale
equals pathetic academic performance
now displeases me,

yours truly did wanna fail
no matter parents told me, I got smarts
severe psychological dissonance
affected this male

in retrospect,... a tell tale
sign everyday existence
arduous, horrendous, perilous...

lifelong struggle analogous to quail
caught between cross hairs
tis pointless foregone opportunities... assail
self pointless, hence no surprise
metaphor locked within jail.

Report cards highlighted
plethora weaknesses bred
teachers exhausted markers
especially black red
spent small fortune replacing
regarding this jughead,

who practically proved deficiencies
prevailed within his head
arising and undoubtedly stead
dully contributing living
antisocially he approximated
being gratefully dead.

Search for acceptance during harrow
wing during formative years absolute zero
earning michelin equivalent laughing stock,
where mummified pharaoh
each arose out sarcophagus (cue Thriller -
Michael Jackson), a hero

cash equalling cow Jackson 5 era
before disgraced pedofile,
now keeps company with Nero
roman around within underworld
plus disembodied spirit Clarence Darrow,
who scopes, karaokes,
moonwalks... with monkeys.

Sundry dead souls heave pens, gogol,
and trumpet like Donald duck,
their afterlife I envy mingling sui generis
versus yours truly down on his luck
dismal flying colors

analogous to mire and muck
no man iz an island, yours truly isthmus
squeezing thru narrow passing lane,
this bummer doth aimlessly truck
this late bloomer summoning forth
long suppressed pluck.

The Former Double Life of Matthew Scott Harris

The (former) Double Life Of Matthew Scott Harris

Dove finch he following iniquitous

     toward my errant friskiness,
     aye snuffed out light

and accepts dues
     against prickly don'ts,
     and opted to risk broad
     casting general height

     spiritedly burst asunder

mutt hung lest
     censorious replies pillory

     I merely uncorked
     irrepressible facet
     (asian iron maiden

     to help give hollow explain

Signed In Blood (Part4)

Now for the final act,
I go over to the broad
      lying on the floor
                  quivering,
grab her by the restraint
     and prop her up
so she can watch the show ,
bending down to her
    I skillfully 
        slice away
            her eyelids,
she mustn’t miss
                any of this.
I kick her mate
    into the middle of the floor,
snap my fingers
releasing him
    then step on his back
         and bring his right arm up
                    and start twisting it,
as it comes free
my ears pick up
     on the horrific howl
being projected
    into the atmosphere
                   by me
drowning out all sounds.

To calm myself
    I start gnawing on his arm
with her watching
               the whole while,
time for the feast to begin,
    slowly I step down
                      on his head,
I can feel the bones
      in his skull start to separate
and as his eyes pop out
the resistance is gone
            and his brain
        squeezes 
out the top of his head.

I turn and stare
    at my last toy,
  blood and tears
               marring her face,
           this is gonna fulfill me.
getting down on all fours
    I crawl over
        and start eating
    her left calf,
her rasping cries
    drift into my ears
like a dirge
   being played
      for the recently dead.
I work my way
     up to her thigh
   then the other leg,
        then to her belly,
now in a total frenzy.

I force myself
         out of my feeding
    and look down
  at what’s left
of this pathetic wretch,
I retract my claws
    and place my hands
          on her cheek and chest
releasing
        the glorious rot
that exists within me,
    that is how 
         she shall spend
her last moments,
     decaying 
            in a pile of herself.

Standing 
       I brush off my coat,
turn to the closest
bloodstained wall
    and with a tendril
  scribe
“The taste of the masses
      has quenched me,
  but woo to those
     who disturb my slumber
   with their malice
   to society,
           my next message
   will be written in their blood.”

As I head 
    out the door
I hear a cell phone ringing
      too bad
the dead can’t answer,
   the tale they would tell
        could crack the heavens.

He Lives Between Two Worlds

He lives between two worlds.
 
One that an average, or sane person, finds him or herself living day to day,
and that of a fictional writer, who allows his creative side to pull him into the dark spaces of his mind filled with fantasies and mysteries.

Artist capture these visions in these inner journeys and put them to canvas, 
Writers enter this illusionary world searching for a tale their creative side bangs out in millisecond bursts.  He withdraws from the creative chamber only to scribe to paper his understanding of these flashing insane hallucinations. 

In deep thought, he ponders, and molds words, and picks adjectives that best describes what this illusive world has flung at him. Sentence by sentence he works, and reworks and once satisfied he re-enters this dark chamber again to do battle with his mind's eye, beating it to death day after day, night after night, until the his imagination has run dry. 

Exhausted, he now knows it is done, it is over, he can do no more. 

But, he now wonders, did he interpret it right ? Does it make sense? Is it the best it can be?
He re-reads it time and time again.  Will the reader understand what he tried to say? 
Will they clinch their fist in anger at the right moment?  Will they laugh or cry?  Can their mind’s eye visualize what unfolded in his head?

So, what is left for this creative writer who has finished his work. Dose he stack it in a closet on top of so many others, or does he deal with the other world; the one he hates.  The world of the common public that accepts their monochromatic existence. 

He is not a salesman.  He is not comfortable with this part, and would rather return to the chamber, and let others sell his works, but the more he returns, the more it seems these encounters are taking over his life.  He’s now hearing voices, whispers, barely audible, but they are there. He begins to fluctuate between sleep, fever, delirium and reality. Till one day the chamber closes its escape hatch behind him and he is trapped there forever. 

No one will hear him, for his cries bounce off the walls of this dark chamber echoing on top of his previous cries.  He has found  true hell.  The hell that awaits all mystery writers who will allow themselves to find too much comfort with the voices within.

Plan For Me

Your Pain will be temporary but eternal glory awaits 
You will rise to the top through heavens pearly white gates
You will tell the whole world how low for you life became
And just like a phoenix how you rose from the flame

you have been chosen to lead one of god’s special tribes
so trust in whats happening and in the words that you scribe
your tribulations and trials you bravely took on yourself 
so when your army descended they’d always have a  good health 

you’ll feel every emotion from fear love hate and elation
these are your most precious gifts for you to  share with the  nation
I will bless your loving family with a strength from up high
To hear truth in your voices and see trust in your eyes

A special blessing i’ll bestow upon each one of you
So precious and powerful trusted in just a few 
My dear brother Andrew live your life to this rule
A foolish man rides a stallion but the learned a mule 

So tell me how much worse it gets so I can be prepared
My worry is i’ll go to far and that’s what makes me scared
Difficulty seeing who’s a friend or a foe
 Letting intrigue beat sense which hardly leads to a no

I feel crowded in an empty room and deafened by no sound
My brain is playing hide and seek but logic can’t be found
Im tired each and every day from building my defence
To shield the world from what I feel 
inside that’s so intense

Stop and listen to my voice that I shall send to thee
If then I feel your true desire my presence you will see
A promise made upon thy name and never will be broken
The time when  peace resides within your ears will hear what’s spoken

You plan your life around a clock that only has one hand
use guess work in the times in life to run or when to stand 
As efforts are misplaced and focused in the wrong direction
Your children are in desperate need of there dads protection 

This will last for a moment but a vital part of your lifes plan
So cast your eyes far and wide and take in all that you can
Your mind shall repair and your strength be restored 
Your words shall be heard as if a lion has roared

Forgiveness be given and never spoke of again
Your joy will be felt 10 fold more than your pain
So trust in all of what prompts in your heart
That is the journey towards a fresh start
