Best Derailment Poems


Premium Member Realization
At what point do you realize
it’s all moving in the same direction -
in a flowing pulse that cannot be dammed, that;
collective hearts do march in rhythmic time
to a common drumbeat tolling time
upon all roads with perils and parades?

it surely wasn’t yesterday,
too busy today --
who cares...

This Cruise Is Over
the only tree for a thousand miles 
gave him welcome if temporary shade
a kaleidoscope of mockingbirds filling its branches
it was no longer possible to be blind
but very possible to be jailed
for being unaware of our surroundings
being that we are panphibians capable of TV
where apathy and...

Premium Member Who Are We At Our Core
An evanescent bouquet of skewed briars,
is how a tinsel laden tawdry essence wickedly unfolds,
scuppered signpost to my fetid human compost,
faint light pendant on soul crushed quantum migrant,
who might chortle at vivid veil flimsy vacuum,
skirt recklessly the bogus symbol moiety around me,
peer behind the squalid limp...

And so I ponder my frailities as give giveness to the/they that are in response to my/your parental misgivings, the way windward wade their roughened cinder complexities confided to an annotated disgfiured desire-repost postured, annotized rediculum of the come-what-may forensics of a culprit coined society...

Pot
In time we find light that was not so much a remembrance of character void, 

or a psalm of the heterogeneous unlimited focus-

or stance of staving off the news,

in the leeway there is no set mountain, 

or even the scuttled movement otherwise that allows the...

Premium Member Mildly Amusing Limerick 9
A Miss diagnosed tragic ailment,
Life strongly suggesting derailment,
Said, “Dis ease among men
Seems not all due to sin,
Let’s pray our death brings pain’s curtailment.”

On Boarding Pass
The well-trained heart
Enters the departing station
With measured steps,

Boards the best car
For the most comfortable
Ride possible,

So that the jerking engine
And tracks
Barely jolt it.

As it chugs along at an
Even pace until arriving in a
Timely manner --

Even good hearts get railroaded.

When we started our training
We were doomed from...

Premium Member Better World
I envision no romantic, grease-splattered engineer
Overseeing the direction of my particular train. 
It just follows the course of the tracks laid down 
Within the fractal flow of nature’s symmetry.
It curiously transports me from one sad affair to another,
Depending on which Chiquita happens to be turning...

My Paper and Pen
I’ve been doing quite a bit of faking
acting as if my heart hasn’t been slowly breaking.
For so long, I’ve kept most of my feelings bottled within
except for what I’ve released with my paper and pen.

I’ve tried self examination to figure out what’s my ailment.
I’m like...

Premium Member The Sun's Self Immolation
The pale faced young damsel
By evening turned into a blushing bride
Her cheeks made red with rouge
And her lips glossed in cherry red

But the makeup artist, before
Seeing the magic of his deft touch
By some sudden mental derailment
In a bid at self immolation, 
Set fire to himself

Badly...

I Am Endless
Watch me become a believer in what lies beneath this evil/
Give it all up to feed this ethereal fever/
Make it thrive so I can deliver 
righteous anger towards the worlds behaviour/
Make it mine so I control the time, good luck with your lifeless saviours/

I’m slowly...
