Best Misperceptions Poems
A Fathers ImmortalityUpon waking up this day, a single tear
Father your eternal immortality
Still proves wise and gracious
I haven’t been misled by popular opinion
Which should be taken with a grain of salt
You showed me how to expose the counterfeits
who foster misperceptions,
Which have shaped our faith
How to...

Once Upon Healthy TimeOnce within eternal time
of pre-LeftBrain domination,
I recall breathing in
EarthMother's richly hued nutrition,
and this Other inhaling me,
purging lungs of misperceptions
that I was Her
any more or less than S/he was me.
We owned this communion together,
sacred breath co-arising
back and forth,
in and out.
It could not yet occur to...

Summer
“SUMMER”
Where
has Summer
gone?
The world
has lost
Summer
Sweet
little
dream
missing
all those other
beautiful
small dreams
seen as toys
small and
inconsequential
casually tossed aside,
disposable play,
things
pure shining lights
smiling eyes once so bright,
switched off,
'neath
smothering
blankets of frost
no tinkling remnants
of mischievous giggles,
nor echo of...

King of kings and Lord of lords.

Dear DaughterAvast emotional gulf manifested; courtesy
series of unfortunate events; sundered
biologically accorded, cherished, enshrined
paternal bond; resultant dereliction defies,
justifies, ratifies...dissonance; unbearable
hindsight excoriates impropriety reviewing
dirty deeds done dirt cheap; impossible mission
to excise indelibly etched psychological
impacted repercussions upon mine fountainhead;
weighing excruciating deserved self loathing;
permanently deplorable depravity yoked;
unyielding choke hold, no...

Lo and BeholdPredictions work in twists of what makes life workable
High and often misconstrued by the dogma of science
Lies and damned lies and statistics for the insecure
Foes foretold surprise when the blindfolds shed masks
In the light of darkness mascara and games people play
Tim’s Persona crumbles in silent...

A Slant In TimeWhat is time?
But a rotation of the planets,
A love gone to the wind,
Or a setting of the sun?
Sometimes we can’t tell the day,
But by the bottle we drink.
Or the books I read,
…Plato, Steinbeck, and old Walts leaves.
What...

Malkavian 4I present unto you
Unsub one and unsub two
Each looks as I do
They think like me too
Unsub one will have some fun
Killing everyone that survived
Unsub two will handle the cops and news
As soon as they arrive
A cover up is under way
Another tragic terrorist attack
On...

Illuminating the GridAngels observe our unfolding galaxy
Seemingly eternal to the human mind
Misperceptions they are superior in nature
For them like a temporary blink of a firefly
Their understanding of the prison we have created
And our ‘reality’ submerged in the limits of linear time
They whisper sweet reminders that we will...

Mental IllnessMENTAL ILLNESS
Darker clouds appear more so near,
spirit sympathy and mind in empathy ponder,
thoughts a haze of past future days,
a mental candle aura, flickers 'n' wilts in wonder.
This shadowy sickness,
creep 'n' seep,
seeking capture, no rest nor sleep,
until it claims it's mentory.
Tick clock a sick daze in...

When We Are HealthyIf we are not,
is this always the opposite of
when we are?
If we are negative,
is this sometimes appositionally
in creative tension with
when we are becoming more positive?
If we are a noticed absence
is this sometimes appositional
to we are not yet fully perceived?
And is this more oppositional
when we are...

inside lay a mind full of fantasy promise intelligence and feelings

It Is What It Isthe personification hurts the reasoning of an untrained apophenic
cacography ensues as the computer throws a spell check wobbly
the poet scribes on because everything is not what it seems to be
clouds become animals spirits aspirations and nebulous signs
and I am the object and subject of mind...
