Best Interrupted Poems

Girl, Interrupted-

Deep cuts from within.
She faced bravely the many hardships of womanly life
How did she end up like this?
Severe depression after her first mental breakdown
Sorrow oppressed what was willed
At present in the parallel universe, 
Never aware of the world left behind
She will catch a brief...

SPIRITUALLY INTERRUPTED.

I CAME TO EARTH WITH 
EVERYTHING IN TACT.
I was happy curious and 
with rapid anxiety.
couldn't wait to bring the 
good news from the place
where I had just come from,
To my new home here on earth.

It was just an
overwhelming understanding.
that I had,Wanted badly
to share the...

The day was peaceful
Until the sound of thunder
Lightening is seen...

Should I kill myself, 
or have a cup of coffee? 
-Albert Camus- 


Being dead is blunt, 
numbing and offensive. 
Yet it is life and not death 
that grips you 
so hard that pain 
is a plea for urgent departure 

The impromptu of suicide 
is interrupted...

Sacred beginnings, but my end too soon
I lie helpless in false serenity
preparing for life, her womb is my tomb.

I am like a flower, ready to bloom
my small frame forms, unborn tranquility
sacred beginnings, but my end too soon.

Her voice, so familiar, screams in that room
my little...

Interrupted Solitude

A sentence here, a comment there
Your ponderous thoughts you were forced to share
"Who is this man?" I'm sure you said
As words were drawn from within your head.

‘Twas on the flight, a normal one
Until your thoughts and reminiscences - gone!
Those abstract feelings within your mind
Temporarily...

Clay saucer
clay pot
potting soil
striped triangular stone
tiny green bud
tall bamboo stalk
fleshy green leaves
held in place by
patio umbrella crank
sits on latticed
black round wrought iron
table at Bart’s Books
Ojai, California,
quiet, peaceful,
so serene
till a bookstore-hating baby
screams....

You are the Carolina in my 
mind
The place I have always longed 
to be
You are the sultry guitar licks
The rhythm and the melody. 

You are the compass of my life
My non stop carousel
My  longed for childhood dream
My Wall Street opening bell

You are my what a wonderful...

When you can't relate any more
Your thoughts are out the door

No sympathy, no empathy
Stuck in a foreign embassy

Of a thought process strange
Clever shots are out of range

The drugs, the grog, the women
The warped sense of dominion

Are you stuck in my head
She said or are you...

My mind is constantly spinning in a 
24 hour torture chamber, featuring 
unsettling displays of erratic 
behavior.  Death at this point would 
be a reward, please do me this one 
favor.

Alone again to no surprise, 
restricted to a code of silence.  
Harboring a...

Raw moon
Lips swoon

Rooms locked
Shirts dropped

Flesh beams
Love steams

Kids cry
Hots...bye!

You picked a path when met with fork
And trod it bare so oft you walked
Into a tunnel so wretched and corrupted 
You slipped away, Jeffrey interrupted

Wednesday’s child is full of woe
But my May child has far to go
A decade times two your sacrifice
Fool’s gold for...

Tabby watching birds;
Sharp-eyed, poufy-tailed, statue;
Until squirrel arrives....

The weeping willow mocks my tears,
as the fog torments my body.

Frozen fragments of imagination
brings condensation to my eyes.

At the beginning things were great,
until the day I betrayed.

My mind taunts my heart,
my spirit and soul;

Like a fire burning wildly
through a dry field.

Consequences get caught
with circumstance,

As it...

INTERRUPTED REVERIE

hanging droplets 
            sparkle
     threaten the lake...
