Best Lounge Poems

Within my psychedelic psychosis divided by hell’s malignant mitosis,
Navigated by narcotized neurosis absorption through opiate osmosis…
Within my lunatic leverage of will, I needed to miraculously madly mill,
The negligent neurons of my ill amidst a faltering fragment of my spill.

My eyes that bear the bevel upon...

I was one of the cool set,
navy blue duffle coat, scarf around
my neck, seated at a table
in Pepe's Coffee Lounge
discussing Baudelaire 
and T.S. Eliot and the demise 
of the political elites.
The conscription ballot hung 
over our heads helmeted
in a flowering of uncombed hair
in the winter...

Who is seeing off whom,
In home,hospital or Hell,
Visiting you in your sick room,
Knowing you won't get well?

In that space 'twixt life and death
You linger,time running out of sand,
All words mere empty breath
In what is no man's land.

Tears choked back(signs of guilt?)
A brave face essays a...

Mish-mash of beats: coffee beans

Limerick : Once a Veep in a V.I.P. Lounge

Once a Veep in a V.I.P. Lounge
Laid low till Mary Lynn took the plunge
Then put on airs of Chief
Whipped her in the mischief
Till the Chief threw in the bloodied sponge.

Good MORNING CITIZENS
Welcome to the employment lounge
Have a pleasant day.
Step up state your claim 

Please speak clearly
Move to the side
Step up state your claim 
WHAT'S  YOUR  FAME?

Step up state your claim
What's your  FLAME?
CHECK YOUR  FLICKER?
YOU'RE  in the  GAME.

GOod morning...

In here, the coolness
is other-worldly.

On the conveyors, the passengers
seem to float towards their destination.

Down on the tarmac, a plane's wing
welcomes in more passengers
departing, walking from the shuttle bus,
their feet unseen in the rising evening fog.

From somewhere
trails a haunting nocturne 
as a disembodied voice calls out...

LOUNGE ACT


Lounge act
She knew his needs
Life’s passions unfulfilled
Her body held the secret keys
Unlocking pent up ardour and delight
Yielding to uncompromising
Erotic seduction 
Satiated in
Lounge Act

There’s a gap in the lounge curtains
I can see it in the corner of my eye
I’ve been trying to ignore it, but
I can’t no matter how hard I try.
It’s knowing that I know it’s there
That’s really bugging me
I ought to get up and close it,...

She is a personality too few people know.
I see her each night behind her white grand piano.
Her sweet singing voice fills the air.
People drink in the lounge, but do not seem to care.
This woman looks as attractive as the way she sings.
She dresses in a...

***This, the sequel to my "Cocktail Lounge Debut".. A better understanding will come if
the first poem is read....



Details flood, organized his
mind.
Cocky, overconfidence looms.
He is the feature poet
tonight.

Famed now, the crowd 
roars.
A vacation from all their daily
chores.

Lady Shutterbug had doubt
Spent hours that coulda been ‘bout
an environ pro-activist devout    
Spotting celebrities, scoping it out
Not keeping abreast trendy starlets 
Kylie, Mavee, Cardi B, or Scarlet
Yet little does she regret, 
out of the loop during covid19
Paparazzi never meant anything
Albeit a lucrative...
