Best Assimilated Poems
A Rainy Train Journey - Happy Father's DayA sudden rain
cloaked the rail path
Lightning strikes were furious
Thunder storms drum big
Windows drenched in rain
Unable to see the scenes
Uncertain about the future
As we were trapped inside
Dreading the journey,
Holding my dad's fingers
I closed my eyes;
Leaning on his arms
Lamenting the harms
Frightened me, cried
To wipe out...

The Lesson a Dog Taught MeOn a stone wall, by the solitary pavement,
Annoyed and angry, with daggers drawn at everyone,
I saw my neighbor sitting dejected and depressed.
Though known him for years, of late he has changed much.
His eyes had grown so cold, and his mind, so blank.
His vision, I felt...

I saw God, but now what
Line of enquiry:
Yes, I affirm, I have seen God
But He appeared and then disappeared
This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed
But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared
As death whispered gently into my ear,
a divine light appeared flashing in white.
Was this...

I saw God But Now What
Line of inquiry:
Yes, I affirm, I have seen God
But He appeared and then disappeared
This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed
But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared
Once, I was so
very sick, and
I almost died,
and wandered
hospital halls
lost ... broken.
Until-...

I saw God, but now what poetry contest"Yes, I affirm, I have seen God
But He appeared and then disappeared
This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed
But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared"
He's omnipresent, my needs are met
But by anguish I'm beset
No explanation can I get
So I blame myself and...

When I speak of love…
-I speak of you.
When I feel tenderness…
-I am feeling you.
Up on the brink of yesterday’s blues, you
swore my elegance would never be forgotten.
I wear...

I Saw God, but Now WhatLine of inquiry:
“Yes, I affirm, I have seen God
But He appeared and then disappeared
This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed
But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared”
Once I felt the power of God
It seeped into me like lightning,
Illumining the track it...

Alas, GehennaFirst descent
had every bone crushed,
as a true descent must do.
Second descent
was of a toxin
placed neither by devil nor god.
Third descent, fourth, and beyond,
were of increasingly greater craft
and increasingly greater uncertainty.
I lay in the soil,
assimilated into
the common grave of mankind.
I vanished into the worms,
the stench ought...

No Gpathe egg in the frying pan
sizzled but mine wasn't
sunny side up
my brain assimilated
everything but this
wasn't a simulation
i hit a wall
going at least
sixty miles an hour
looks like i'm not
going to graduate
from Mental State
just
another
crash dummy...

Broken MirrorA broken mirror
A gustily reflection of misfortunes
I don’t recognise myself anymore
An honest look at my dishonesty
Yes, I’m a liar
The image distorted with each retreating step of shame
I take, and I move ten steps backwards in life
The falling pieces like sharp knifes
Pierce the ground with screaming...

LuckyThe drugs are working
I no longer feel anything
I am ‘comfortably numb’
It feels weird
Yes comforting
I don’t worry anymore
About anyone
Or anything
I just get up
And go to work
I am a machine
I have been assimilated
A ‘Borg’. Or was that a bore?
You could shoot me...
