Best Mind Bending Poems


Premium Member Cora's Clothesline
What softness in silence amidst the cacophony of a spin cycle world war.
Lying next to your glow in sleep's stillness, careful of your bandaged hand.
Watching your breath enter and leave, the rise and fall of such loveliness.,
reminded of our miracle wings as they unfolded in...

Licia, A Mysterious Mind

A mysterious mind
You often do find
Is cluttered with all kinds of clowns
In your ear they speak 
Quite often with cheek
And tell of your ups and your downs

Driving you mad
By being so bad
But without them, where would you be?
Those voices you hear
Are your...

Astound me with visual auroras
swathes of rainbows in chorus
that leap across lofty skies
strange intriguing patterns that rise
iridescent visions of midnight forests.

Mind bending colors turn sinister 
haunting hues no longer minister
I awaken from dystopian dreams
seeking solace from simple means
I bask inside sunlight’s perimeter.

Premium Member Ode To Chocolate
I was very young when, I first tasted it;
that sweet, milky nectar of the Gods.

One Easter morning it appeared in a basket, 
on our piano bench and it was wrapped in shiny foil; 
all colors of a pastel rainbow.

Tiny egg-balls, smelling like cocoa and sugar;
one...

Winter is a deadly companion to those of us
who stay behind. Spring is not guaranteed, only
a lonesome song, frozen on the lips of my
fellow crusaders.

The tip of the spear belongs to the "Ice Warrior"

Camouflaged under a dusting of snow, ink black
like the night or mind...

Devils Only Walk Straight Lines...
devils' cannot go round corners' 
evil cannot bend- 
it is mostly found in madmen 
...in many cases
"some married men"
 
they all wear bare face masks, 
the evil of the deciever is located 
in their eyes...connected to a rotten 
heart...here the deceit is beating...

{spinning Wheel}
spinning wheel.
round, round.
hypnotizing.
never ending.
your mind bending.
spinning.
the wool turns to yarn.
from big to small.
transforming.
circles over circles
moving.
stand still.
spinning wheel.
simple minded.
complicated.
igneous.
calm the mind.
work the fingers.
smooth thread.
rough ramouillet.
round, round.
spinning wheel....

Premium Member Prologue To Lessons of Change
for King Wen, circa 1151-1143 B.C.E. – with seven mind-bending kowtows

There where you had no occasion for play
There in your confined Ming I space
Where change wrought no change
In your fate
But for those plagued by your linear grouping games

Where before the fall from your embroidered gardens
The...

Strange, yet a reality none the less:
the oppressed destroying themselves 
for the sake of the oppressor.

The battle of creatures of the sea
has now become that of the humanity
of the conquered land.  A bizarre misguided
catharsis born out of guided mind bending
of victims killing selves for...

Liquid Chemical Compound In My Face
I rolled my finger around in my cheeks 
it was some kind of liquid 
deliver there by a unseen evil dirty needle  
I should have freaked the hell out  
but I was in mind bending shock
definitely destroyed 
saying to myself 
don't be destroyed,...

With This On My Mind
Woke up with this on my mind
Was not very well designed
But still God was kind.

By golly and goodness sake
Was flatter then a pancake
Her eyes wide awake.

Also much to my surprise
Was then I did realize
Her dark hair she dyes.

As long as she lived still did
Period to...

There was an old lawyer named Ruth
Who didn't mind bending the truth.
No scoundrel too bad,
If money he had.
He'd have pled self defense for Wilkes Booth.

My Teacher
As a result of their pleasure
I had to be born as their treasure
Young and well raised
Loved and praised
Little did I know I was in a classroom
That was never ending
Always mind-bending
Everyday faced new lessons
Harsh........ Pleasant
But all in all it was my teachers duty
To plan my life...

Pink Pistols
The Jihadi’s got an entire hour to kill
Hundreds of helpless patrons shocked and awed
An eon of murderous rage until
The long awaited reward from his “god”

Like schools, this Orlando bar predictably
Missing the one thing mass shootings lack
It’s no longer much of a gallery
When the intended sitting...
