Best Connectors Poems
Where Do We Poets GoInk of life cannot bleed for eternity,
so I place dried petals in between,
crucial chapters of my memoirs.
When we stop breathing poetry,
our crestfallen pen, left in silence -
where do we poets go?
Is there a special place,
where the ink flows forever,
like waterfalls of mercy -
where thirst quenches...

Black VeilsAlmost like wearing an eternal hat of shame
Black veils hide the blame
Shadowy onlookers dying to see under the opaque
Their eyes deepened in curiosity expecting some day the veil would break
Dawn never looked so dark before
Horizons under veiled eyes once more
Continuously blocking out your...

Living With a Mentally Handicapped GrandsonIn the middle of the night a door slams
The awful scent of cigarettes floats upward penetrates my nostrils
Insomnia keeps him up and restless
Lying here I hear, smell and know that the worst is yet to come
Huntington's Disease slowly destroys brain cells
Mutant form of huntingtin aggregrates...

Revolutionary StoryThey called their gang The ReVolutionaries,
my Father Sun and Mother Earth drew time with them,
but they often called themselves Yang and Yin,
respectively and mutually respectful
yet privately erotic,
not so much politically and economically
where Yang could not fit in for rabid competition
and Yin could not alone float
her...

Progressive RockOn the energy waves of the eons,
Of lyric and line ever-forming,
One is injected, transported,
With all vibrations bursting
Through the human heart and mind,
The jolting edge of innovation
And every positive passion.
Even the cynic or child may sense,
When riding such a current,
The power native to humanity.
Synapses now malfunctioning
Cannot...

Railroad Spikes,Musings On MemorySome pin memories delicately
and precisely like butterflies.
I, however, use railroad spikes.
This morning was spent well,
walking along a high desert trail,
close to some old railroad tracks.
My sister had shown them to me yesterday.
I am looking for signs that I was ever here before
today.
A boot print, perhaps,...

Can We Feel MusicCan We “Feel” Music?
By Carol Geyer
Can we “feel” music? Can the notes cool or warm us?
Soothing like green aloe balm, or warm as flaming Yule logs,
or as majestic as a fully leafed oak?
Lovely and diverse as an overgrown garden,
mysterious as a...

Its the Little ThingsMaking the world
using it all in a
transforming dance of life.
First to appear
in the primeval soup
they grew to
fungus connectors,
glue sticking us all
in a criculating web.
Microbes that chop up remains
then bear new things again.
I am a wheatfield becoming.
Regenerating burned forests
and the flood plains
or feeding the ocean
five thousand...

We Are MathElectrons fulfill their wave equations
Bonding polarities shift their vectors
Giving way for kinase phosphorations
On a channel near neural connectors
Anions build within the cell's walls
So Potassium plays with its mates
Sheltered from large sodium rainfalls
By fat magnesium blocking the gates
A signal could pass and make it rain
From many...

We Are Worlds
"We are Worlds"
Internally eternal
in each of us
another world
Unknown
and alien
supporting strange lifeforms
hidden beneath our veils
watching silently
illuminating exotic ethereal lines
Connectors electric
touch each other
another’s world
reaching out instinctively
we regenerate ad infinitum
Lux Vitae unfurls
too deep an equation
for shallow minds
without fathoms
Oceans inside us
drown all our...

Forgetting 9-11If and then only to remember
Forget not the lost lonely specters in gray ember
Passing by eerily, still passing by
Loose tendrils of humanity… fly away fly
You see me not in your beautiful haze
Skirt around; walk around in a heady daze
Failed recall of the twisted steel connectors…
Unburdened...

GhostsA shadow of a family
Sits, lumping on our couch
Watching TV with mindless eyes
Occasionally letting a few words out
The lines that bind together
Lie about on the ground like jump ropes
They’re always in the way
Tripping up dreams and shorting out hopes
Every emotion results in a trip
The kitchen...

Beware of the Brain EatersBeware of the Brain-eaters, the Logic-disbelievers, the Beat-clippers.
They come on Halloween to thumb their noses at the sky dippers.
Big Dipper sends eighteen master witches to give them a star.
Little Dipper distances himself, hiding his end rays in Zeniths black jar.
Brain-eaters will go after your...
