Haiku For My Brother

Hot sands roil the sky.
Blinded, we cower, heads down.
Where is my brother?
In just us for all

In just us for all

Autonomous


Long ago yes time is cruel,
We held!
Inside we felt burning truth.
Our passion strong,
too strong to hold on.
Pains me to free,
Belief.
Once you find slipping,
You no longer find anything to hold onto.
We all fall, each succumbs the depths of sorrow.
We never know how well we hurt.
Mirror is a terrible place to be.
Still look.
Looks still,
quiet alone sweet death surrounds.
Parading elegantly with air.
Smoke dances sweetly,
Death is beautiful!
Not many understand this.
I like candles, they burn.
I’ve been touched by the sun,
Fire hurts worse.
Souls should never play dangerous games.
Sometimes no one wins.

For Confusion Should Set Us Free
By Anthony Eusanio 2009


For confusion should set us free
all the things we do or see
should not reflect continually

a rapid crow
a silent haze

for confusion should set us free
all in all humankitty
kindly can deny

a seem
a salt

for confusion should set us free
we don't always have to be
just "be" .............imperfectly!

It’s All Relative...

these words
are spoken
from a place
of profound emptiness
spoken to antagonise
those who mythologise
words

these words
are spoken
to the ladies
of the west
who seek
to arrest
spiritual entropy
with miraculous
obscurity
in words

and
are congratulated by
the guilt-ridden ghosts
of gentlemen folk
who smoke dope
in the hope
of
salvation
in
words

For Laika

She lived in the Heavens
in a small metal house,
trusting each moment
with a smile
on her face.

Laika,
Oh Laika,
you can't go outside.
You're home is behind you.
You're home is behind you.

"It's hot in here"
She said,
but no one listened,
no one cared.
"I'm scared"
She said.
Blackness all around her
suspending her
with stars.

So easy to hurt you,
a life that's not owned.
So easy to take you
and train you
and starve you
and give you a purpose.

"I'm tired"
She said.
"I'll close my eyes
and wait for a friend
to find me."
Go to sleep
sweet Laika,
Go to sleep.

Twisted Love by B.Murray

Secret lives of precious loves
No longer pulls
Just shoves

Unnaturally unwanted
Upon the distane
Together I am not
No longer fearing the pain

No words to be spoken
No touch to be fealt
This silence is deafening
This lonliness is spent
~Schmetterling ™ 10K Poet~

I carry your weight, By Tihana Novosel.

Visions of execrable memories
the morning after
when in bed of wounds fastened with gauze,
feeling exodus impending,
when noon rang with gargantuan bells...


Was it freedom?
Or captivity with a mask?



I clap my hands
to chase away the vultures that kept feeding
upon your eminence,
when you look the very top of my shoulders,
you see
I carry your weights.



I allege you my Cupid
along
with your blunt arrows....I will cleanse
your oxidized wings, afresh
they will shine with fulgent silver
as fabrics
in the lap of Pharaohs , as belts around the waist
of Black Magic women, as feathers
on blithe sparrows...



You can attach your hopes
on my immaculate trust
as we are leaving fingerprints on misty windows
that Fluster in her ballet shoes
never glissaded upon...

exotic nocturnal twits
by zed mizar

hum dingers abound in
an atmosphere
of lightbulb roses.

they skitter across hot
lavender mylar
ramp systems
& tumble over hopscotch
escalators as they
impersonate napkins.

we observed them
competing with wahdiddies
for an octagon slice
of radish sandpaper crystal
beneath the south twig
of a clothespin tree.

the flapping tractor navy
rudely arrived,
shoving pillowy bags
of lard down
sucking flytrap toilet jaws.

I Will Remember
By Elizabeth Anne Jones

~


I do not require
An album of photographs
To remind we of
How you were
That is permanently
Etched in the fondest
Recesses of my mind
Oh, your innocence!
The wonder and joy
You displayed while
Reveling in the most
Simple pleasures
Bathtime games
Frolicking with clean linens
Daddy's stuff, Mommy's stuff
Your stuff! Oh, how
We laughed! It was better
Than wonderful.

I was a loving
Mother. I sang to you
Songs most original. I
Caressed you most
Tenderly. I affirmed
Your wonderfulness
Consistently. In that, I
Truly believed. My one
And only child, bequeathed
By a miracle of nature
But I had wondered ...
Could I properly parent a son?
I always perceived
Myself as the
Mother of a daughter
Clothes, parties, dolls
French braids, finger curls
All so very familiar.

In her place
I welcomed a hero baby
A 'manly' child with whom
I play-wrestled and laughed
With a bursting heart
I could not have been
Happier, nor could you
Until you changed ...
That long, greasy hair
Heavy metal rock blaring
Dank, messy room
Filthy laundry everywhere
Weed, booze, secretive friends
A dark and spiteful demeanor
Constant ingratitudes, the
Time you wrecked my car, and
Oh yes! The incessant
Nasty blame game
Now, that really hurt.

So guess what, my love?
Your mother is not perfect!
Surprise, surprise!
The revelation is
Neither are you, my
Former 'baby blue'
But I adore you regardless
My whole heart is
Still in it for the long haul
Most unconditionally
With every shiny or dull penny
I find, I pray for you
'To the health and well-being
Of my son' .. That I chant
To the Powers That Be
So remember
Darling, I love you most
Keenly. Now and
Beyond forevermore.
So shape up, or I swear
I will punch you out!

At Peace With Myself
by MrDaMan
Virgil R. Hall II (Randy)

I unpacked a little devil
and launched it across the bow
of an angel warring on peace.

It was like a question that went dud,
a fizzle instead of a bang.
The angel ignored it,
but the little devil was amused.

I unpacked another little devil
and insisted that it conform
to the rules of chaos…

It laughed with tears of sadness
and lured the angel to come play
a game of hate and dissension.

As angels go this one had
a few devils of his own
and played brilliantly.

We unpacked more devils
and scattered them about the world.
Before long they multiplied.

They were in the details of everything,
scurrying to and fro, too busy to notice,
our deft moves and clashing of wills.

I had won already, he just didn’t know it.
I asked him his name and he said, "Lucifer".
"Well Lucy" I said, "You’re obviously enjoying yourself."

He replied with a non-committal "Ummm".
He was so engrossed, I left him to it.
He’s still playing… I … well I snuk off.

At peace with myself.

Torso/discontinuity

beyond the consequential horizon
lost and living lost
thirst

dazed
by the rites of Thursday
exceptional only in that
this day follows the day which leads it
sentinel weeks overseeing
the gravity of years
recognised in faces
orbiting notional bodies

divorced
from feeling, torso alone
perceives truth against
discontinuity; helpers
once and forever silenced
in raging
and absolute fidelity

hysterical and sensing
the universal, a shared and
common autism rises like mist
against ancient starlight
the red shift of our
unknown and
infinitely tasted
grief

about a broken world
by James Dye

Imperfect broken glass and gems,
imperfect sharp streets, juxtaposed
under a crooked skygodlin,
that hides covered with covert blades
surrounded by stalks of sawgrass,
and a lonely angel and I
in October, after chemicals
deceived, to the nth degree, the sky,
were swept about this broken world,
this flawed & cracked road of time, as we
danced on noiseless feet and bled upon
the loadstones hold, our defeat echoed
the beat, crushed and discreated our
beauty, or dreams, or gems, or glass
piece by jagged piece; we fell apart
into imperfect cutting streets,
under a crooked skygodlin and
were swept about a broken world.

Light in Many Forms.
for Glen




Reflections of reflections,
the world a shadow play where our mental constructions become the real,
a shadow play,
we are shadows that run from the sun;
and what if all our hard won
certainties are but flickering reflections,
the world a mirrored pond
in which we see only our ugly selves.
We hang between dark and dark,
in this run from the day, the sun;
Its light too bright, to dark for our eyes to see,
it blinds us so.
We are flickering shadows that run from the sun,
fading shadows cast by the light, the one.

The Shkhinah,
the candle flame that burns inside us all, a flicker of the flame, the sun,
wanted so much to be one with the yet to manifest,
the point beyond conception,
her love became a lust, and she felt into the dark world of matter, tramped into this
shadow play she longs for her lover, the sun.

the light feeds on the darkness,
life feeds on life
cast into this night,
we are but fragments and must learn to love
to hold the world sacred;
the Hag eats her own children
she comes with might
in the night;
the Hag that takes us all
Our mother, our other, our lover,
we are shadows running from her might.
She takes what only is hers;
we are nothing all we can do is love the light
that takes us into night;
we are nothing unless we love all life,
though we are hunted by this night.

Stop To Think by B.Murray

I feel I'm getting stuck
There's only me that gives a fuck

But then I stop to think...

Some help to get away
Before you leave to stay

But then I stop to think..

The melodies,
Of a broken heart,
Seem simple,
When torn apart

But then I stop to think...

Pushing away together
Always bitter
But not twisted
We'll be forever

But then I stop to think...

Don't leave and don't come back
To contradict the words I want to say
You will not...
...Return another day

The night alone gets darker and darker
To let you go is getting harder and harder

I'm Standing On The Brink

In this thin skin they sing
their dreams,
cuddled against the cold freezing night,
they sing of  glory, past years.
The days of old.

Genghis Khan;
a man made that the world shiver,
in bringing many tribes into one
he made the knees of Europe tremble,
the many became strong,
the stars were not distant then.
The old men sit and sing
their song in this thin skin


How the Golden eagle returns to the man.
they sing of life of death.
In this thin skin
the struggle goes on;
children, future hunters,
all sit huddled against the cold.
Outside the darkness is broken by freezing stars,
the vastness of space, in this bleak place
full of the trickle of distant suns
struggling against the night.

Sorry this is the last stanza, and not the one below.

he huddle against the coldness of the night,
this thin skin of animal skin of tent and dreams,
is all that separates
them from the freezing stars. In a circle
these round houses sit alone in this vastness.


In this thin skin they sing
their dreams,
cuddled against the cold freezing night,
they sing of  glory, past years.
The days of old.

Genghis Khan;
a man made that the world shiver,
in bringing many tribes into one
he made the knees of Europe tremble,
the many became strong,
the stars were not distant then.
The old men sit and sing

How the Golden eagle returns to the man.
they sing of life of death.
In this thin skin the struggle
goes on; children, future hunters,
all sit huddled against the cold.

In this vastness of contrasting color,
rock, grassland, merging mountains,
a simmering oasis sparkles with sunlight;
bordered by the Altai mountains, the grasslands,
the prairies of Mongolia, the Tibetan plateau,
and the north China plains,
this rainbow desert sits at the top of the world.

A dry place of rock and sand,
where the snow leopard hunts,
the golden eagle stretches it wings
to touch the stars,
the Gobi bear lives walks its peaks,
along with the gray wolf,
this place of predator, silence,
rock and sand, its vastness.

This place of eons, and towns
those seeking silk had to pass through,
cold and icy this place of contrasting color
changes with the night, in star light,
the silence,
here man feels his smallness
compared to this sand, the rocks and mountains.
John Najjar

Nov 4 2009 8:02 AM


Elsewhere a golden eagle soars through the cloud,
the man waits patently astride his horse for the eagle,
to take the prey down,
in its majesty, this female bird of prey can not be cowed
yet the man knows she will return to him,
as a man always returns to a women.


In this rocky desert survival hangs by a thin thread,
two predators have formed a pact,
based on trust
but nothing as emotional or abstract
as love,
just the desire to live, to hunt, to survive.

The reportorial bird has found its prey,
it swoops the fox has no where to hide
and is soon held tightly; the fox looks into her eyes
and knows death has found him;
the man approaches, the fox dies quickly

His eyes search the vast expanse of sky,
but today a glimpse of shadow on the horizon, the first sign
that this bird of prey returns to him,
after years, she returns from her mating,
but soon must go back to the call, the wilderness, the rocks, the hunt,
but tonight, they both together will dine.

The Horsemen

Staining the horizon, they come,
dancing hunters marked by harsh desert night;
the horsemen come galloping,
defining the deep silence;

with their stammer and canter;
thunder.
Iron hooves caress frozen rocks and sand;
Predatory shadows armored by scale and leather,
they ride upon nibble feet;

a torrent tormenting the silence,
they clatter, shatter, in a tangle of flesh and iron,
chasing the cold wind across rocks and sand,
the horsemen come, riding down through the centuries.


In a fury of crushing iron
they spread panic into the heart of Europe;
Armed with bow and arrow,
each one sits astride his galloping horse;
they take aim, draw back the bow,
and in a flash transform the day.

One of my most recent blog / poem:

Song of my Heart

There is a peace
more like a prayer
as if Nature is calling me
to become part of its world.
That can only be understood by the soul.
Something I have forgotten
yet like a distant bell
reminding me to come back home.

To have had the opportunity of making your acquaintance,
like so many.
How can I forget
but now more than ever wish to find you?
How long will I wait in this place
or must I follow the stars.

Yet this is your story,
it must
and so as best as I can will listen
and hear you speak.
Maybe from a distant planet
or the little creatures that awakens during the night
and sings your song.

You are everywhere.
Under the stone,
behind the clouds,
in my chest
and it is there I will find you.

~ Roel Corpus ~

I dedicate this writing to the men and women who have come before me or that are alive (Guy Finley) and their students. It is thru their Courage that is showing me to discover a new life.

Inspired by the book, “Apprentice of The Heart,” written by Guy Finley and the CD he produced, “Door of My Heart”, in which I was involved in two numbers.

Ps_ Thank you for your friendship and wishing you well from Southern Oregon. Take care my friend… will stay in touch.

My Castle

The Castle lives
in a changing field,
but the trees
that surround it
are constant.
The light is
filtered
by familiar leaves,
These leaves
that stay bright,
as though Autumn
has only begun
to put it's
companions
to rest.
I walk the perimeter.
The windows,
all in a line,
beckoning my gaze
to the topmost floor,
suggesting
that which
I already know.
I've already
walked across
the tips of it's
jagged spires,
and leapt from
stone to stone
in it's gaming pit's.
I've opened it's
heavy doors,
and wandered
through it's
system of hallways;
distractions at best.
I've been here before.
I've been here before.
I know what's inside.
So since my return,
this castle has
changed hands.
Again and again
it has been
bought,
sold,
captured,
captivated,
aquiried,
and left alone.
Yet inside that top
room,
a trap door exists.
It opens up
to a hall,
Full
of lost things.
My lost things.
Intangible items,
diaries,
toys,
dolls,
clothes,
memories,
happiness,
childhood,
long since gone.
But still they hold
a magic
that comforts my soul.
This castle that
guards that place
in my mind.
Where simple
recollection
is such sweet
relief.
