Best Minimized Poems

Come, my friend, 
Do not cry
For
Tears blur your vision of life,
Distorting thus reality    
 
Come, my friend,
Wipe your tears and see how clearer
The world appears:
The shapes, sharper,
The colors, brighter,
The flowers, softer,
The sounds more melodious
The scents more aromatic.  

Come, my friend,
Smile and...

I am tired of the denial
Refusal to face the facts
Not learning from doctor’s reports
Not listening, so that we can plan
What is happening is unfolding,
All around us every day
No matter how it’s minimized,
The virus will have its say
Truth will emerge beyond,
Anyone’s trying to control…
What others believe...

Its been years since we met each other
I know you like a sister and you know me like a brother
We never had thoughts of ever being with each other
Weve Dated many others so why even bother
But I love you like no other ever would
Ill have...

Changes

If I could change the world in more ways than presently,
Computers would not crash; nor could they ever be hacked.                         ...

They call them crushes because that's how you feel after the first "No". After they say that they don't feel the same way. And all of that after your entire world was minimized to encompass them, crushed down to the size of an atom with...

Double Set Up


The first lump was the scariest in 1983.
 I had found it in the shower.
 Two other major surgeries I've already had that very year.
 I was thirty three.
 A mammogram back then was so different.
 I remember a round cylinder with a...

Once wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -
though gods provoke, not one atones. 

The multitude (by hordes beset
with battle-ax or bayonet)
braved blades, dyed red and dripping wet -
the stains were wiped with no regret.

When...

Step out with me,
if you would be so kind,
on my melting island of ice.

Full-heated summer sun
feels good on our backs and shoulders
and faces turned down and in to hunt,
to fish.
We start this day with gratitude
for warmth of light 
and powered life.

Empathize with polar bears,
or try...

Way off in dream land
Excuse me, if I seem sad
As well as happen to be mad
Still, got it done with my free hand
Despite there being little if any peace had

Problems minimized or growing fast
In person or going off a photograph
Most quick to let go with...

I am heavy today

Heavy like feet in hot tarmac

Heavy like dead end job

Like slashed tires in the dark

And I try to keep your pace

Try to match my steps to yours

You do not understand why I am out of breath.

 

You think that I wear the...

Long in the tooth male doth recount, reflect, reimagine...
his woebegone damn dental daze today May 5th, 2021 

No particular rhyme nor reason
garden variety indentured flunky (me)
revisits his salmagundi salad days, 
when oral blight smote 
left front adult tooth,
which hellacious quandary commenced
when yours truly experienced
broken said...

Alone I walk among the shards of life
To see the things that I have left behind
I hope that I have minimized some strife
Because the things I do I can't unwind

When I examine the words some say, I find
That unkind ones will pierce just like a...

Diluted coward
Polluted soul
Your heart it holds a gaping hole
Sadistic brain waves ooze out of your lips
Your words are bound by a satanic grip
Your control on others has minimized,
In defeat you suddenly want to compromise
Not in this life, not on my path
Soon you’ll feel
Eternal wrath.

Silence in soul,
words careful,
likings clear,
dislikings minimized,
quite an uncomplicated person you are!...
