Best Adrenal Poems

Nightgowns on at 9:01
Adrenal induced delerium
Santa’s journey has surly begun
To our beds, we were a scurrying

Closed eyes, at 9:05
But sleep would not come easy
We’d twist and turn, side to side
At least til 5 past 3

Then somewhere before, 3:44
Sleep would come, by chance
Til little sis would...

Hey my dear butterfly!
Welcome to a land of joy!

Red, yellow, pink and blue
Flowers that drenched in dew
Yearning for your silent kisses
And glimpsing the scene, gives us bliss

Flowers that just unfold
Awaiting your sweet bound
On seeing you whirling around
Words unroll, pen poems abound

Hey my dear butterfly
Welcome to...

She was the nadir of affection
like a scorned lover, hell-bent on revenge.
She was still like a fresh flower, a sight for sore eyes.
David was told she was once jilted
by the beau of the town,
now hell-bent to wreak havoc on men
who unknowingly felt her black spider's...

Let free-fall guide your vertigo
As adrenalin rushes into waterfalls

Eyes and skin tight like water up the nose
Bubbles bursting with lightning strikes then
Soggy silence in turquoise splendour

Watery eyes fade quiet lights and adrenal fatigue
Sinking depths into cooler blues, as bubbles float on silky notes

Downward spirals into...

Low in the valley a voice grumbles
In a melancholic tone, baritone
Like a wounded beast moaning in the night
So lonely, makes one wonder about things

Higher still, the same melody repeats
Echoes through the trees and ruffles the leaves
Alto horn I should think, calmer like mist
I am loping...

He only asked for her number,
Knowing not it was a huge blunder,
Thought their relationship could be strong,
but the digits she gave him were wrong,
She seemed shy and innocent,
This made him propose an engagement,
Promised to think it over,
Whether or not she would be his lover,
His heart...

Street-lights golden nuggets on a plane
I shimmer with anticipation
Aircraft dips left like a soaring hawk
Golden eyes zero in on its prey

Aloft and descending turbulence
Undercarriage open like talons
Binocular vision so alert
As screeching rubber thumps the tarmac

Decelerate adrenal glands pump
Undoing buckles my thoughts floating
About casual normality
Within casual...

It is worn, patched, and tattered, frayed about the edges.  It has at times offered me adrenal ascendency, scared me out of my wits, challenged me to act, or to be still.  Its warmth has often failed me.  Its compass deviated from...

Kill or cure alls of the mind are in the bottles,
with dual instructions, take at one’s own risk.
Swim in an ocean of salt, options one has as
the eyes burn, “I wonder what on earth is the matter.”
Relieving the symptoms of gout could be the cure...

Loosely based on the movie Arsenic and Old Lace.
I’m sure you’ll excuse the rambling for that is what
the movie was like — an adrenal rush of dark and crazy!

In the Chronicles of time our love 
is written like a fine wine aged
with time.

A lineage of passion and adoration,
of cooing and wooing of love we
both hold near and dear.

It is the story of the dame and the sir.
A story of love and passion with...

Deafening crowd,
Definitely shout,
Defyingly loud,
Undeniably wow’d. 

Hands stretched to the ceiling.
Sweat beaded faces.
Driven by the feeling.
Adrenal speed races.

Been here before,
But never quite so right.
It’s in the air tonight.
My kind of night!...

Tic tok, is that a clock?
Counting down, familiar sound.
I think I hear the click’s as clear,
Faint resonance that’s carried ‘round.

A watched kettle never boils,
A memory will never spoil.
Another shock to breach this air, than
A ticking clock that’s somewhere there.

Clap trap, the sound of feet?
Someone I'm...

You wait
In chortled glee
Time’s ticking toll
Sharpening itself
‘neath your dark robe

And I
Poor fool
Fear not your sting
As naught is left
But tatters
Of past now’s

And you
Life’s dark companion
Have counted every step
Held sway
Lest I falter
Seasoned my errors
With adrenal angst

I wait
In grimaced glee
Enshrouded
In an endless
Thinning veil
Awaiting
