Best Electrocute Poems

It's always those who reside in our hearts,
whose words, like lightning,
electrocute our soul,

and in each pain there is a lesson.

Her life was like a room without a view,
those 'rainy day' eyes, 
could have formed a deep river,
but no ship sailed upon it,
to carry me to...

Am I the only one who doesn't care it's raining?
That it's cold outside and no one's on the street 
When the wind is blowing a hundred miles an hour 
And the earth decides to shake its fist at me  

When the elements electrocute my...

The cloud  is set to cry
Thunder rumble 
A sunday in RCCG
Drummer boy in spiritual malapropism
Members of choir malaguena(- ing)
Blue, purple and scarlet yarn floating in the temple
A chest-piece in between my ego
As my thoughts grew larger and thinner
I stood in the company's of fools
Upturning...

Daughters of Medusa


                   
Grey hair, ginger hair, dark hair......
All simmering in an inverted jar,
Cooked and fried
Headshrinkers doing serious business.

These avid Girls will electrocute each other
By the charged...

During the United States’ industrial revolution,
Eli Whitney invented interchangeable parts;
Identical components that could be substituted one for another.

This creation was made for machine— 
weapons
cars
and other mechanical mysteries. 
This isn't the case today.

Hips are interchangeable. 
Legs are interchangeable.
Hands and fingers are interchangeable.
Hearts are interchangeable.
Now, not only...

(William Hammer, Thomas Alva Edison's assistant,
has reached the end of his tolerance.  His boss is
planning to electrocute an elephant for a publicity
stunt.)

If he goes through with this, the dam has burst.
I'm done with him. Of all the tricks he's pulled,
this is the lowest, cheapest,...

Light streams
Darkness dispersed;
Colours deliberate

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn arrives
Calmly magnificent;
Joy feels vivid

~~~~~~~~~


Morning permutations
Clockwork agenda rolls;
Memory and rote

~~~~~~~~~


Tensile strength barters
Testing argument collides;
Taut tempers flare

~~~~~~~~~


Moments of unease
Words in wrong order;
Conflagration attends

~~~~~~~~~


Late night excursions
Unfinished business;
Graffiti messy enough

~~~~~~~~~


Sit here and wait
Words missing voice;
No output now

~~~~~~~~~


So many things to say
Intuitive feel ventures;
Words weave wise...

like
tremor
of a leaf
in gale force wind,
that wicked fever
coursing through your fingers
electrocute my body.
your hands give me a wealth of warmth
when days are insufferably cold.
in winter, I crave your feverish touch.

He curls himself into a ball 
Underneath some old newsprint 
Alone, depressed and drunken  
And all his money spent 
This alley’s now his only home 
Until the cops come around 
Dog tired and hungry still 
In another northeastern town 
His sights were on higher...

Just electrocute my body
Just electrocute your body
Justice knows that we are one body.

Because the universe stopped breathing,
My body is glowing, transmuting
glow'n dark 
towards a lost lowing, a low yellow spark
sucking in
Everything,
Everything tainted; indiscriminate fire,
I desire to be one and two but I shall cut
And make...

Miles away
In wires, in streams of jumbled data
Collected together
And traveling above your cities
Unnoticed by most who pass by
Feeding your homes with loud noises
And warm things that keep you alive
Plugged into a source far away
But connected all over the world
Held high by tall statues
But swing low...

Every time I hear the thunder
I sit back relax and wonder
What my life would be like 
If I hadn't been struck by you
Would I still breathe
Would I still eat 
Would I give up and accept defeat
My life changed the day
You were thrown at my feet
When...

My first Christmas with Lucie, 
I had some qualms, you know.
No idea what to expect
when I put up light show.

Would she climb the Christmas tree,
and bring it crashing down?
Would carefully wrapped presents
be strewn there all around?

Would she chew on the light strings
and pull them off...
