Best Blur Poems
Try to find good in each day
It helps me along my way
I look around
Trying to see where I'm bound
Hope one day I'll be found
Sometimes not so sure
Life's a blur
Anger in my heart
Won't let it tear me apart
I have to be better than that
Pulling a smile out of my hat
Concentrating not on what's bad
That makes me sad
Sometimes it is hard
Especially if my soul feels jarred
Lost in a world full of hate
Looking for a clean slate
When I'm down
I refuse to drown
Stuck in a thought
Hard fought
Your mind
I find
Is a rough place to get lost
Pain is usually the cost
Hard to separate
Love and hate
Fate
Fear leaves you stuck on the same page
Rage
Leads down an empty road
Doubles your load
Step away
Open the door to a new day
Try to smile
It will help after awhile
Make it your style.

Rhyme
The Cannabis Queen
Rides her Snow Chariot
A glass shard still remains in his heart
And his heart still remains ice.
This is his true state of existence.
He worships the Queen,
Because now, all is pure,
White and still.
He kisses the back of her palm
In deep submission
She smiles and takes him to her lap
And together they ride the snow filled country side.
Here, there is only love,
Only acceptance,
Redemption and forgiveness.
Together they merge into the fog,
Their silhouettes lost in a holy blur.
In a cold secret chamber,
The maid and the drunkard make love.
She kisses him not,
For his mouth reeks of wine.
N yet she clasps to him and does not let go.
There is,
Such passion,
Such want,
That nothing stops her from having him.
And as she moves rhythmically on top of him
She looks into his eyes
Where the power of wine
The power of an ******
The power of a sleepless night
Blur into a holy blur.
In a place called Xibalba
Through which the dead pass
From the confinement called life
To the liberation called death
One soul readies to take the plunge,
To come to terms,
To be one with the eternal.
In one cosmic leap, the soul
Splits into a million tiny pieces,
Of its many laughs
Of its many cries
Of its many loves and hatreds
And its each tiny emotion
Each tiny memory
That came to be in its journey through life,
Becomes a star,
Studding the eternal silver sky,
And transforming it into a holy visual blur.

featureless blur
sharp rapier claws
fend a black featureless blur...
death is no lap cat

a moment,
that happened,
but did not,
a moment,
to smile,
and did not,
a moment,
to refrain,
but could not,
a moment,
to breathe,
nervously,
a moment,
to sing,
your song,
a moment,
that was,
but was not,
a moment,
of here i am,
but am not,
a moment,
of clarity,
sans sanity,
a moment,
to hold,
so bold,
a moment,
has come,
and gone,
a moment,
to give,
and take,
a moment,
of hide,
and seek,
a moment,
of intense,
pretend,
a moment,

I forgot my contacts
Under the tip of my toes
I forgot my sight
Along my life's road
I forgot how it felt
When warmth laid upon me
I forgot what earnest was
What it was like to see good
I forgot my mom’s womb
Is it where I’m from?
I forgot what an apple taste like
I won’t have another one
I forgot emotions, expressions
It’s all a blur...
Wait!
In that blur...
I think I just so the sun.

Blank verse
the world it spins
in one big blur
a whirl of mass confusion
transports me round and round
for reasons dreams and schemes
caught in its convoluted history
deep in the funnel of its hurricane
I wish I could extend my arm
reach out to all of them
have them reach in to me
I wish I could provide some comfort
explain the whats and whys
and dare address the hows
but here we are
and there is no one
there is no one but me

You left a hole in my heart that nobody can fix
I always listen to your favorite songs and look back at old pics
You let me be myself by giving me freedom and space
You never yelled at me when you were mad, but I could see it in your face
You were a pretty quiet guy and enjoyed your time alone
You loved fishing, bike riding, and listening to the music on your phone
You protected the family by making us feel secure
Whenever I was sick you always knew the proper cure
You weren’t big on doctors or getting help from others
You didn’t tell anyone you were sick, not even your mother
You didn’t want people to think you weren’t tough
You always told Brad and I not to sweat the small stuff
Although you didn’t show it often, I knew you were so proud of me
I loved showing off my grades to you, you never cared when I got a B
You wanted me to be happy with whatever I chose to do
You never forced me to be a doctor, it is what I choose to pursue
We had a special relationship unique to you and I
I will never forget kissing you that final goodbye
You laid there in peace, with an open mouth and closed eyes
No longer breathing, you had finally died
I sat there in shock, not knowing what to do
I cant believe this was my dad, why did it have to be you?
I felt so many emotions that my body felt numb
I hope this is something I will one day overcome
My heart is in such pain and I am constantly sad
I can’t believe this happened to my smart, healthy dad
This traumatizing experience will never escape my mind
I watched how your health gradually declined
When you were put on the ventilator, I knew it was bad news
It was so scary and painful to see what you were going through
I hated that you couldn’t talk and that you were heavily sedated
I was praying to heaven that you would finally be extubated
I jumped for joy when mom called to say the tubes were removed
Little did I know that you would never improve
So much has changed since all of this occurred
When I look back on this experience, it is all a blur

A calculated click
Falls from the cold bike chain
To bounce off the ground
And land in the ear
A bright polygon blurs by
The bike just blew a year
Smooth click, gear shift
See a man made something new
There passes another one
An orange diamond
Don’t hit! don’t hit!
The fine parallels the speed
The clock ticks as the gears shift
Years melt into oncoming traffic
They wed and conceive a newborn
A child birthed yesterday named Tomorrow
The beauty of dynamics
Streak the child’s hair
A symphony of calculated clicks
From the score of the Great Composer
The traffic obeys a brief respite
The newborn falls into nap
Steal a quick breath: breathe in! breathe out!
Glance over the shoulder behind
Inspection during suspension reveals much
Introspection reveals even more
The bike weaves through growth and change
As Tomorrow faithfully awakes

A blur of fur, it scurries quickly but
I hear a meeo-ow, tender, loving, warm.
Only, yesterday her eyes, they shimmered sapphire.
Now flecks of gold in pools of jade, they glint.
To touch her is to feel velour as she
caresses woolly fur across my face.
Low purrs, a bantam motor, gamma waves.
A shiny ebony statue, black sphinx.
With magic tinted whiskers, tilts her head.
A bounce and paws all four on top of me.
A moist and icy button brushes past she
exposes pearly arrows with a yawn.
The hollowed pyramids, they always shift
they twist for surround sound, twist to be
alert and quick; she prowls. So curious, life enchants.
A glorious game for a blur of soft fur.

This weekend went by in a blur
And here I am again
Stuck here as if I never left
Not sure how or why
But I have been at this awful place before
Labeled animosity for some time now
You have taken me to this place before
And I’m not sure what I can do
To avoid being trapped here much longer
So I did what I thought I could never do
And that’s give up all hopes
That we could ever be anything
And to curse you so you would think
You’re nothing to me
Now I just have to live with my decision
And act as if I’m alright
When secretly every time
I hear you laugh I’m dying inside
So kill me as you have done
So many times before
For it won’t be too long
Before any fond memories
Are left and then I’ll be
Gone…
