Best Brain Wave Poems

Where should I go and just how far
When I am playing on a great guitar?
Up and down its very illusive neck
Before I soon become a total wreck.

Each string I'm sure is supposed to sound
Like no one else should try to be around
Along with me and...

"Hello?"
"Hey, I've missed you. Can I see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah, when I get off the bus!"
"Okay I have a present for you. See you then!"
Anticipation. A meeting long sought after.
Phone's distant ring.
"We're going for a ride. Put your shoes on."
A father and daughter head into the...

Like a rainbow after a storm, which shows even rough days get better.
Like an inspirational story, which wants to make you feel greater.
Like a candle in the dark, showing you a new point of view.
Like a best friend's hug, that chases away the blues.

Like a...

Bow down 
when you hear the music

Stand up
when you hear the sound

Limber low
when you see the golden image
Babel Tower rise pyramid erect 
like a flagpole

Toes arched high,
elbows bent with hand over heart
Eyes swaying side to side,
when the wavy cloth idol music start

Brow pride is palm...

Friday nights are the nights to show 
dat you have been slaving all week. 
The nights where all the shining bits 
and pieces come out. Ladies talk in 
loud gale voices, showing off new 
dresses and shoes they can hardly 
walk in. When guys pretend...

Happy Chappie had a lightbulb brain wave
Thinking his idea some time he would save
Usually when he went out and about
He forgot his way back without any doubt
Thought if I butter well my outdoor shoe
I'm sure to retrace as good as new
Unexpectantly he had a good...

In our stimulated, simulated brain wave
 Collectively entranced, supplanted reality
 The new wave of an old groove
 As hypnotizing self-suggestion induced
 The destiny for recently awake stars to improve
 
Perception cauterizes the magic bloom
 You reach to see we are the same belief
 Believers need...

It was two days before Christmas
Joe feared for his life
He had clearly forgotten
A gift for his wife

He sat on his bar stool
An ache in his heart
As he pondered his route
To the nearest Wal-Mart

He waved to his cronies
As he finished his beer
Wishing them riches
And holiday cheer

The...

ON THINKING

reflecting thoughts 
on thinking… 
a brain wave
consideration
a notion?
inspiration
deliberation
contemplation?

thinking thoughts 
on theories, ideals
do you have an
opinion?
designer concept
philosophy
any clue at
all?

He answered:

My thoughts are nothing
like yours
My ways are far beyond
your realms of
imagination

on thinking?
 …Believe
and know that I am
God

As a placid penny grips my total recall 
Brain wave insurgency from colorful streams 
Literary dreams
Psychic transport unfurling 
Following the beat of conflict 

This enthralling hypnotizing grasp 
Silent purging 
In an epic showdown between right and wrong
Gut checking realism the drama urges 

Man from wire,...

One generic baby boomer, (a garden variety sexagenarian)...
offers his interpretation of critical race theory

I, (an articulate, charming, domesticated, 
erudite, friendly, genteel, humorous, intelligent,
kind, learned, male, albeit modest – married) 
with freshly clipped formerly gnarly toenails
discounts the popularized myth
encompassing world wide
webbed historical events
despite being taught Northern...

All I'm asking is that you sign the line that is dotted....
Either that or cosine me a new brain wave...

I am still in a brain wave if I am dreaming, Because My eyes are blind now,Even the ears are deaf and the taste buds inactive.Even though I am pretending in front of my friends,I have inner tears of men shedding out.

 It’s not just...

From strange elixir of mind 
a form walks in forming strange lines, 
in a poem of a chant of a spell, 
encantrain echoes it's well.
Where roses bloom, 
dead and spirits recite their bleed 
of encantation- room draining, waning light. 

CHORUS:
From strange minds 
come strange lines...

Have you ever stood in a field with rows of sunflowers
Brightly colored yellow flowers dancing in the breeze
Leaving you cheerful momentarily, your sorrows left behind
Almighty God! Feel the power!

Have you ever walked alone on a lonely road on a late night
Felt the silence surround you...
