Best Chambers Poems

I do not wish to keep you small
Within a tiny vest pocket
You my dear
You reside within the chambers of my heart
A place so large God's spirit lives here

You walk through the archways of my mind
Whispering sweet sounds to my inner ear
Your essence oscillates through my...

Hello?
     
…Here it is!

It’s so cold in here..
  
….. But the walls are still soft,
  …and the ceiling is higher than I remember…..
 
It feels so still and morose. 
  … Even my thoughts ..echo in here.
 
I...

You occupy all four
Your love is the donor
You‘re my heartbeat therefore

Your love trauma
My induced coma 
A heart transplant, no time sooner

My healthier flora
My rhythm, my drummer
Your beat in me forevermore...

Echo Chambers

'Everybody’s talkin’ at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echos of my mind….'
And so it is, and so it goes.

Everyone in their own worlds
Safe and secure within the confines
Of confirmation biases
Building castles...

--Auschwitz, Picture Taken 26,000 Feet in the Air, August 25, 1944 

Years away from me, smoke opening for a man to name them. I imagine a child down there in 
the box being drawn around him, who hasn’t died yet; who just wants to fly,...

Going uptown on a downtown train,
Even though I am lost, I know I will find my way.
Here I am at last at Chambers Street,
And I see the light of day but I don’t want to go.
It’s taken me four years to get here,
A time when...

Stray ghouls are just zombie shrunken heads
being voodoo capitalist misled
Ricochet fishing for the ocean blue, 
deep pocket dollars:
The green algae money 
buried at the ethical wavy, 
graveyard bottom

Hollow days come every pointless, peon payday,
as creditors delight 
in debt shopping their widow maker wares
The pillaging, high...

To be with you is just sublime
I need you more and more each time
sadness like rivers falling from the sky
drowning me indifferently
as I lie still and cry
You've carried me away
To a place where I could never stay
To see this chamber in your heart
To know it...

The cold chambers of my mind
Lacks happiness and a sense of belonging – I’m feeling soar
Under the snow is where you’ll find me
For, I’m snowed under by your heartless remarks, giving me the impression that you 
used to envy me possibly
Under the water is where...

In the mosaic chambers of my midnight heart
I tucked away my angel child who left me for heaven
I walk through the garden maze when the moon hangs high 
I lay full body as guardian at the tombstone on the warm earth
peering through the clouds to...

I wanted you to see me shine on stage,
Now the pity’s shown
You and that song really give me a thrill with a hint of rage
My mind’s blown…I’ve finally grown
Old enough to find out that I’m not the only one
I’m not the only one
The only one
The...

The door that should not open, open you did
Entered into my soul, stirring discord
Emotions that had been buried deep_hid
He who is the adversary_is not dead

Truth was wanted being a potion to heal
Satan offered shaded truth_outright lies
Torturing my soul with wrong, no appeal
Oh! Savior sweep clean...

Unable to escape, I remain
in these poetic chambers
that are a labyrinth of sweet refrain...
never being attacked and frightened by echoing voices
or clouds that are swollen with rain:
I'm blessed not to have heard them or felt dreariness!
 

Visions are converted to verses,
nothing is left to lay...

Does not the essence of soul...echo in his chambers?...

Non exchangeable 
biodegradable 
Given time may be changeable 
However 
Forever 
Insatiable 

Thrashing out the tempo of life
Misses a beat when presented with strife 
Within Private chambers 
initials inscribed 
Etched with a promise 
None but one can revive...
