Best Bending Poems

Bending the darkness

Look at you cowering, haunted by fiction
Shapes at the window of menacing tone
Tearing your hope into shreds as you lie there
Gazing at ceilings and feeling alone

Afraid to put both of your feet on the carpet
Hands neath the bed will be slicing your skin
Each...

...A poem
is a spoon
that you can bend
with your mind.

It depends on psi
if you 
are mutant 
X or Y 
a paranormal opportunity 
or a wild talent
of psionic penmanship .

Stare at the pattern 
on the handle
as you imagine 
the handle
either roses or unicorns
are emblazon here.

So much the...

Bending Backward



We seem to bend backward
Where the truth is told
We seem to lean forward
To coruscating gold.
When conscience is dead
Our blunt nerve is teased
When cruelty fills the head
Our minds are pleased.
Then we turn a blind eye
Where the infirm do cross
Hiding as they pass by
To seclude our...

From head to tips of toes,
On to the fingertips of closed fist;
Callouses of earthly foes,
Sadness embedded, no place missed.

Night turns to day,
Day turns to night;
Staying where I lay,
Moving not a might.

Blackness of nothingness dimming,
Time looping in endless bouts of sleep;
Want to awake to life brimming,
Body,...

far beyond cold light window edge      
flirt and flutter
wild lashes of winter wink
wandering flakes
soundlessly sow
layers of lazy shadows, dust
over cool contour conceal
autumn rust

gentle narcissus and nasturtium snare
brooding violet and valerian
holy nocturnal vow consume
hungry dog star silence
wait and whispers

‘til gently
cries up...

"Guts and gain trap your more likely to stand on the hill"
a tree that's now the oldest of ten has become so weathered and oddly thin
but blood continues to flow in every scratched and surface of my skin

Once a growing seedling no weeds would dare...

I want to bend my light, so that you're able to see
             The essence you illuminated, that was inside of me

Bending Space

When the confusion is gone
When you stop running away 
When all the hope that you have
When it's the fear that you say
When all the lights are out
When all your thoughts are clear
When you find what you've lost
When your heart is for sure
When you look...

When young, in playing out one day
a swinging stick got in my way,
it crushed my eye into my head
another inch and I’d be dead.

Back in 1952
there wasn’t much that they could do,
so when eye surgery was done
they sent me home with only one!

A life of...

Bending Time

Bending Time is an act that Spirits can do,
as easy as lifting your fork is for you.
See Time is their realm; it’s the world they live in,
each second to them comes and goes at their whim.

But Angels as Spirits know little of Space,
as they...

Gaze up at the brilliant velvet sky;
I feel like being helplessly in love for tonight.
So baby, I hope you pass my insane thoughts by,
And lay down to settle by my side.

I can feel the miles between our hands,
Where the wind lets our passion dance,
As it...

so much to unlearn 
but
world is bent upon to educate ....

so much to forget
but
world is bent upon to buily memoirs....

so much to forgive
but
world is bent up upon to inflict fresh wounds....

so much to live
but
world is bent upon to make you leave....

I looked at him when he fell asleep.  I memorized the breath as his chest rose and fell.  The way his lashes fluttered back and forth like a butterfly.  How smoothly his skin looked when it’s been untouched by my hands. ...

I SAY I AM A GOOD CITIZEN 
WHEN ASKED BY TEACHERS AND PEERS AT SCHOOL
YES, I PARTICIPATE IN CLEAN-UP DRIVES 
I PICK UP LITTER ON THE SIDEWALK ON PUBLIC PLACES
I GET THE STARES AND SOME AWE AND I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF
BUT WHEN I THINK...

I am legend;
In my time of presence,
For I once had formed;
Covered in essence.

I lived in the seas of thousands, 
Moments of memories inhabited.
The moments that melt, 
Anyone's heart. 

A pearl of deepening wisdom in; 
Another spirit of divergence.
I would go that distance for you;
Then distancing...
