Best Disorient Poems


Heart Song On a Milk Carton. (Reposted)

Wont you find me here?
  Drifting in an expanse of swirling storm
Outstreched fingers graze debris...
         recklessly circling reminders. 
  Stand in the eye with me
     Hold
         This 
             Ground.
 Lick our wounds rebounding
Warriors victoriously smiting circumstance
  leaving wolves discouraged  
    disparaging darkness with insane glee
 Walk here and find me
   Reach out think here

You create me and I construct you
  Piece me in missing places
   Mending voids delicate and knowing
 I slay inherited growths of insecurity
  Stating truths untold to your beautiful ears
    
          Combine
               Know this warmth....
    Let these branches sprawl 
       grow in all directions to withstand walls closing in
  A grand old tree would remain...generations of our eyes
    taking glance from limbs strong and true

You crush my cycle--end it's existence
  I'll destroy your boundary...kill it's constriction
Our tower stronger and rooted
  Yet with loftier cloud grazing height
     lets disorient ourselves in this foreign altitude
                Touch this sky with me

Dreams can be weird
     crazy. True.
But a totally
senseless dream can
disorient you,
Befuddle your first
waking minutes.
Like, this wildness
has lasted so long
into sleep
As to literally
infect the waking
awareness.
One must now
examine, carefully,
one’s daily
      routine to
regain sanity. 

Brushing teeth – you
are an artist
painter 
      cleaning The
Waling Wall.
Putting on your
clothes – you
imagine you’re 
      laying on
skin.
You step into the
kitchen gingerly –
you might 
      be atop a high
precipice.
Fortunately the
first cup of coffee
brings you 
      back – it
looks muddy, but
tastes o.k.

In the last few I
determine to pinch
myself
      awake.
Sanity is very dear.
Alzheimer’s could be
near.

I Might Not Be Beautiful,

I might not be beautiful, 
But I could intoxicate you, 
Melt through you like an aged Scotch Whiskey.
I could make you dizzy with how you make me feel.
That kind of happy can be tranferred from my eyes, 
Straight to your heart.
I could disorient you with my kiss, 
It would feel like flying! 
The take off of lips first connecting, 
Then deeper familiarity lifts us higher.
We would open our eyes and register surprise, 
That our feet are still on the ground.
I don't need a perfect body to get you thirsty to drink me in, 
You would savour my softness....my fullness, 
I could make you drunk on me. 

Just give me your lips.

This World

The world subjects us to terror,
           the world transforms our existence ...
           It erases our ability to love:
           the flowers, the people, the poetry ...
            It makes us love consumption.
          The world mixes everything ...
           Emotions, feelings,
           love, fear,
           happiness,
           joy ... everything is like
           if it were merchandise.
           So we think normal
           all...!
           Stratification rules us
           we are ordered:
           kings,
           queens,
           vassals,
           employees,
           bosses ...
           The orientation of the world,
           put us in disarray ...
           The compass of the world,
           disorient,
           the maps are incomplete,
           everything is prepared for chaos!
           Policy mixes
           with poetry ... economy
           with art ...
           Complete madness.
            The world preaches us
            nouns,
            adjectives,
            nicknames, prices ...
            They label us:
            white,
            black,
            yellow,
            browns ...
            They tell us:
            bad,
            good,
            normal.
           Tell us what we should be
           or say ...
           They make us bran,
           dust, desert sand ...
           We are everything for commerce,
           nothing for humanity ...
           We are everything for war,
           banner,
           flag,
           password,
           number...
           Living like that, revolt ...
           Anger is our weapon
            against the domain ...
           Anger is a vortex of poetry ...
           Poetry can still save
           this world... !

Premium Member The Road Less Traveled By Two Old People

Two old people took a road less traveled
Recently they did so
Age can confuse, disorient
Sometimes bad things happen though

The road ended choices presented
Should they go around the block
Back to the road traveled familiar
Or onto a road maybe see livestock

We chose the latter way to go
Time to us seemed to move slow
But then we realized, we were lost
Nothing looked familiar, although

Beauty seemed to surround the senses
Grandeur drew us to forget
We drove on in resplendence
Then a road her attention did whet

A road quite well traveled appeared
He bypassed in his daze
She told  him to turn around(they did) 
The way home found, glory! we praise

Hold Your Breath

If you gotta hold your breath,
then it don’t pass the smell test
If you must pinch your nose shut,
to keep from inhaling fumes 
coming from a mouth-shaped butt
Then it must be rotten to the core,
smelling like dead fish washed up on the shore
Wear your spiritual gas mask
when you’re talking to someone 
with putrid, toxic pride swollen lips
They be putting the truth to task,
burping out lies is sporting fun ... 
taking Chernobyl verbal trips
You might need to hold your breath
a long time
Don’t let hateful words poison your mind
You better hope there’s no delayed effect ...
crushed cyanide capsule regret
A little whiff of spiteful poison can paralyze you,
make you numb to the bone
A lot of foul, fear mongering noise can disorient you too,
make you become intolerant prone
Don’t let the rancid odor of hate vomit
get on your clothes,
don’t let the vile stench of evil ethnic baiting
get in your nose
Have a discriminating intellect ...
throw it in the garbage,
if it don’t pass the smell test
Otherwise, it might be the death of you — 
trying to speak and hold your breath,
both at the same time
But, suicide by scent assault
don’t register as no violent crime


Premium Member Chanting Voices

.                                                       

Do you hear my voice?  I sing with a voice, I did not know I had
I chant a song. I am one of many  that hum in the air,
filling the void of the past, in a land of famine and waste.  
Here she comes, the seidr-wise woman, long past her fertile years.
She holds her staff, taking her place among the piers
Our music vibrates, solely for her ears. 
She sits on her platform, while we sway and dance.
She keeps her eyes locked in hypnotic trance. 
High on the platform, she lives in two worlds.
She foretells the future, reaching into the vast.
She is filler of the sound, while seeking the past. 
She brings back to the Fjord fish for our tables, 
Healing and guiding....she sees what we can't.
As our song quiets down, her voice is a whisper.
Like a far away land, is quite distant, a gasp
Coming from something strange, from something long ago told.
She heals, and has the power…
Sits as mountain of spirit, so bold
The cold offered me, lays out there, far,
among the wasted barren land, and into the stars. 
I hear the others chant, as I offer mine
The rain has sent me often songs.
Other ballads the wind brought me.
The waves carried them to shore.
Birds shaped words into tones.
She sways and hears the piercing bird calls.
Sounding like cackling of old hags.
Growing fierce of four legged creatures.
All disorient is the scent of the earth that pours from our mouths.
And talking sound as if from the crowns of trees.

On Being Called a Drug Addict

the wheels just thumped
a jazz beat

(and it woke me

from sleep- with my Lunch
Poems) that made me think
I was somewhere else
like the drug-
                   stores
that all look	    the same
                   inside

only nothing like that nausea.

(not the sweat I get
from the stale air-
conditioning

not that prefab 
disorient
from offwhite
prefab aisles
that all twist 
in the same direction, all
born in 
weak perfection).

the startling rhythm displaced
me;

its syncopated thump
contused me
and left these little ugly rainbows
on my arms

and that tattoo really goes
at the start from each station
but here 
               the cadence has slowed
(like the wagon wheels in an old movie
that spin the wrong way)

as we move backward it sounds more like a train,
more humane.
The wheels catch their groove and the pace relaxes
the bumps disappear - 
it sounds more like a train.

Specious logic, serpentine manoeuvres, designed to disorient heart and mind, with a view to securing a psychological advantage are seen through by centred presence, which yet humorously indulges the play underway awhile, that the adversary’s eventual sense of triumph be not mitigated by discordant rejoinders proposed by lower mind, having recognised that ephemeral waves of the ocean rise and subside in time as ordained, melding with the vastness.

Pandemically Pacified

You can keep your suicidal suit wardrobe wars...drawers of destruction
In your consumption of insubordinate illusions...intrusions of insanity
~~~
You can keep your vanity and desired disease...appease the ego
In your tuxedo tailor-made by tyrants...compliance and conformity
~~~
You can keep your deformity and defamation...population desensitized
In your advertised agony and defeat...secrete societal sermons
~~~
You can keep your damaged demons & whores...centaur’s modern maze
In your tangled haze of hallucinations...limitations, and liabilities
~~~
You can keep your disabilities of discontent...disorient of discipline
In your simpleton slaved seduction...obstruction in obedience

Moral Coins

If there were 
only MORAL coins 
and no MINT coins
people's would have 
conducted sans sins

Sin smeared 
Moral coins 
would be akin to 
Self Demonetised 
Unfit coins for trade
good for scrap grade 

Pristine Moral coins 
would be like medals 
glorifying character
Premium coins 
best for any trade 

It's time to have
NOBEL PRIZE
for High Morale 
rewarding uprightness in 
socio-political category 

It's time, schools have
Honesty, Integrity
as mandatory subject 
laying gen-next's cornerstone 
of character super structure 

Immorality, Corruption is blooming
having 12.months spring season  
Corroding roots of Values 
How long tree will hold terrain? 
With no oxygen, no fruits 
how long Society will sustain? 

Nursing Roots, 
Nursing Morality
ought to be top priority 
Else corruption white ants 
feeding on cellulose of greed 
will disorient stability, safety
and hollow out society timber 

MORAL coins or 
MINT coins? 
Value based society or
Anarchy based society?
Time to mint Chances 
Time to make Choices

Premium Member The Answer Was There

The Answer Was There

It's clearly winter, time that we splinter, solely be discontent,
in droves, we amass, divides lads and lass, beg peers disorient,

Lurch therefrom harshly, cannot dredge clearly, fastened in misery,
pulls ironed anvil, likes worthless cavil, reason meets mystery,

Season of goodwill, nay I, faced the chill, shut doors as none will chance,
a bed waits for dawn, as tears will begone, adds to my song and dance,

Reach I from that cold, still share from my fold, I yield to its power,
chased in a corner, choked with dog's collar, unnerved till I cower,

Saunters aimlessly, swinging shamelessly, wondering mind wanders,
aching for answers, that plagues like cancers, a gem to swine squanders.

A beauty wrought face, remembers a place, the last bastion of hope,
small inkling survives, at some point arrives, she reels on a tightrope,

Still fraught by trouble, her world near rubble, rear pews emits solace,
a church she had found, few people around, unseen she prays for grace,

She fumbles for words, that splits into thirds, a crooked picture viewed,
eyes now tightly shut, she figures what's-what, her faith swiftly renewed,

Verse fell from above, her heart filled with love, her fallacy had gone,
her life be resolved, wrongdoing absolved, wayward past be withdrawn,

The first day reborn, no longer she'll mourn, ere her eyes opened wide,
His Father be praised, Son Jesus hath raised, Holy Ghost now her guide.

Premium Member Gunshots

Immortal is the writer’s eyesight,
ball of rolled up phrases and rhythms;
Particle of sand through fingertips 
portal of blurred pictures for poems;

Meant to be captured in her wordplay 
spent she sifted through blue lit thoughts;
Disorient edges slip to focus,
torment is soothed her pen fires gunshots.

Big Clock

far reaching the endeavor of time
clinging to the monumental chime
our governor of time elected by big business
waking and eating and all that ends in ING
the governor big clock puts us all in shock
time to work or time to lunch
or for those with money time to brunch
time to die or fall in love
time for mating of the peaceful dove
the governor elect pleads to us all
to change big clock in the fall
to shade the day and lengthen the night
to disorient the birds that take flight
but as mercy goes and is found
once again big clock is wound
for the thing in spring is to go ahead one
to shed light on us all
reassuring the governor elect
will once again be the one we select
