Best Attenuate Poems


Premium Member If Only Now, As Then
Then ...
Where were you?
Don't you know how diligently I looked ...
How I begged for fate to pity me?

Every face, every curve, every eye glint and crimped grin
I sought for that spark ... that flicker
That attenuate shimmer to the eye that would pull me IN
Deep and...

In These Historical Times
You aren't anybody to the plinth in the workforce.
Of course, I know of your success.
My money does not have anything to do with you; therefore, why negate a 
     nation’s wealth.
If you just would abide by the Constitution, your achievements are...

Premium Member Reply From the Nonexistent
please tell me ...

what happened?
what dire damage have i wrought?
what did i do to ruin it, that friendship, rare?
you once knew me better than most ...

my darkness didn't frighten you, didn't rattle,
you sighted those demons ... i think they danced with yours, times,
imbibed from the...

Premium Member Wildfire
~ As embers cast their seedlings to the tide,
relentless rants of endless acrid winds
attenuate the brittle countryside, 
releasing spite, as hopelessness descends.
  Scorching plumes infuse a septic, swirling,
noxious residue into the feral
timberlands, unleashing toxic, whirling
clouds of grimace, rendering them sterile.
  The Devil's rage...

Premium Member Healthy Love
Do you think love is healthy?

I suppose more therapeutic than its opposites,
whether hate,
or fear
or anger
or greed,
for is not love the formed functions of gratitude?
positive attitude,
that I am loved by Earth's diverse health in return
nutrition
conservation
cooperative economies
positive psychologies?

You would agree, then, that not love
could also mean not...

Morning Meditation
Deep inhalation and exhalation
breaths initially activate
relaxation, attributed to stress,
tension, unconscious vectors 
woefully agglomerate
ache'n to gangrenous jackknifing noggin 

dichotomy to alleviate
cognitive clog analogous 
to emotional obstruction
that doth constipate
in an effort to allocate
opportune psychological uplifting

state of emergent euphoria amalgamate
ting in tandem with prescription
medication to leverage mental
quiescence holistically...

My Prayers Never Cease Be
My soul at dawn  awake
A magic light into my heart breaks
Solitary whispers shivering in awe
Towards the Infinite my whole upraised
Allah is the greatest.
A frisson of wonderment swamping to the core
Powerless and unknowledgeable 
A humble human soul
In Your glorious presence 
Bare is my essence
Supplicating for...

Grey Optimism
In my dreams, nothing has ever been so clear.
In my dreams.

Not passion, but
exhaustion, 
heavy sky pressing my mind
hoping for higher, higher
clinging sideways and down the ceiling. 
Days touching nothing.

IF I’ve listened to you.
Seeing the world is not capturing the world.
I am a fragile thing.

The priest...

Ode To Hiromita
Hiromita your domicile lies in wait
Make haste to your earthly gate
Earth shakes bold; steady your 
estate
Ocean's waves, briny stew doth 
impregnate
Shelter your crops; your chicken 
coop insulate
Another tremor, with calamity 
don't equate
With phosphorous-laden breezes 
your senses fondly relate
With a steady compass, another 
storm you'll navigate
Your...

Enervated
Something’s under my skin
Afflicting my every breath 
I might lose this conflict
Maybe if I 
Open a window of new breezes
Rattling in my attenuate conscious 
So now I am 
Feverously irascible
At the only creator of myself
The path was lined with nails and pieces of glass
And I...

Wolf
you said you were coming back
but you didn't change direction
I've waited long enough
you cried wolf once too much

no response to multimedia
as I slowly attenuate
if you finally respond
I forgot the question

it was probably just a ploy
another sleight of hand
the ante is much to rich
anyway, what could...

Premium Member Holding Back Tears
Why did you retain your tears hidden?
Will the issues cease after they are bound? 
Are the fountains close to stale down?
Or has your whole life been destroyed?

What fulfills your happiness every day?
For all the suffering you've endured.
Crying for the sake of making others cry.
You're pretending on...

Concussion Therapy
the free state is actually not free
casting my line into the many manipulations
worked by dust devils and hierophants
gambling their grunt wages on my young ass
like cowboys on a cattle free vacation
unwelcome by all rational standards
it's a new skill set for those complicated shadows
and their thistles...

Premium Member Wish Upon a Star
Of energy that’s sent by you,
’Tis more than likely none gets through.
And when you wish upon a star,
The odds, more likely, aren’t than are.
And when you try to bring good luck,
things are as apt to run amok.
Enlist a specter of the dead? 
Some things are...
