MISUNDERSTOOD
As I hastily ponder the necessity of speech,
the redundancy of spoken words, each by each,
the answers given as so many times before,
the repetitiveness becomes hard to endure.
"I'm fine, how're you?" Robotic, knee-jerk answers,
meaningless words eating our words like cancer,
"Of course I love you" and "No you don't look fat,"
whispered nonsense gossip and loud chitchat.
Misunderstood, convoluted sentences hurt,
best to keep in silence and a civil war avert,
hidden meanings spoken and often...
the redundancy of spoken words, each by each,
the answers given as so many times before,
the repetitiveness becomes hard to endure.
"I'm fine, how're you?" Robotic, knee-jerk answers,
meaningless words eating our words like cancer,
"Of course I love you" and "No you don't look fat,"
whispered nonsense gossip and loud chitchat.
Misunderstood, convoluted sentences hurt,
best to keep in silence and a civil war avert,
hidden meanings spoken and often...

I
when the rivers
of your mind
flow in a constant
downstream
cerebral inertia
your mental dregs awake
that clog the pores
of intellectual society
II
a tangled web
of deceit
stitches the fabric
on which negative acclamations
spiral to an ascendancy of doom
like the witches of salemia
on pagan isle
III
peace flourishes not
amidst the rancour
of political stench
bred and brewed
by an anarchy
of confusion and hate
IV
let sleeping dogs bite
the dreams ...
when the rivers
of your mind
flow in a constant
downstream
cerebral inertia
your mental dregs awake
that clog the pores
of intellectual society
II
a tangled web
of deceit
stitches the fabric
on which negative acclamations
spiral to an ascendancy of doom
like the witches of salemia
on pagan isle
III
peace flourishes not
amidst the rancour
of political stench
bred and brewed
by an anarchy
of confusion and hate
IV
let sleeping dogs bite
the dreams ...

The Gift of Love
In stunned silence
he wordlessly turns away,
unable to accept
a blessing of such amazing grace
his inner angst at war with a gift
he's doesn't want to open
later he may find
warmth and serenity
but for now
he draws his shell inward
armadillo like in fear
writing in third person
allows for communication
that flows into a poem
while his emotions
overloaded
shut down catatonically

Yesterday 3:05am
shadow tangled vines
shadow
tangled vines
wrap themselves
around
my sleep,
delicate
breathing
coming from
my chest,
my dreams
blinking
within each
direction
and
my hands
tied,
whether this
is natural
or unnatural
occurrence,
each thought
works its
way to
the surface,
awakening
i realized
i felt
this way
every time
i thought
of you
walking away.
