Best One Celled Poems
In 100 YearsArid, barren, desolate
skeletons strewn carelessly
jarring parched landscapes
Tucked away under rocks and boulders
one-celled creatures huddle
motionless, gasping, wheezing
Noonday sun blisters
methane-enveloped tropics
the poles whistle as well
Oceans bubble, foam, boil
water sizzling, spitting lava
lifeless depths of charcoal ash
Far, far to the south...

The VanishedVANISHED
We are the echoing voices crying within the darkness,
Melting mists of vapor co-existing amongst the living,
The ambling drifters shifting between reality and limbo,
The vanished.
Displacement malfunction, the frozen chill in one’s space,
Happening without explanation, the corporal spirit sliding
In the temporal rift as if a doorway has...

I Am An AlienI Am An Alien
I am an alien to this world
Born of atoms created billions of years ago
Atoms which drifted through time
Across millions of light years of space
Not connecting until they came upon a blue green planet
Random events brought them together
Giving them the breath of life
The...

When Women Were DeitiesJune 2, 2014 at 7:26pm
Too much testosterone in our Bologna
too much testosterone-e in our baloney
killed the dignity of our femininity.
Stepped out of my character onto front
lines, armed with cocktails, rocks, and lighters
Mothers, warriors, and freedom fighters.
Black, setbacks and women's rights too
taking us back 360...

SeahorsesWe humans like all creatures to have a purpose, an aim,
From one-celled amoebas to fungi-spore glebas,
They need a good reason to compete in life's game.
Consider cats: They school us in hygiene
Licking their paws and their fur shiny clean.
And how 'bout tiny ants, who teach us...

Man's Reign UntowardThe things which make my blood rise
surge and boil, bringing a witches cauldron’s
of hell fire, to the for…are not the natural things like sunrise
or the beauty of a pasture green, or golden
No, for me it is all, the daily injustices that men promote
as women...

White NoiseMy fan drowns out the noise of the city streets as I sleep.
Squared out silence displaced from my eardrums as the earth hums.
The rise and fall of this dirt crusted layer in my chest, with every trip of my heart flux, flowing molten lava...

Wonderment At ExistenceWith scrunched and bushy furrowed brow
I often ponder the precise circumstances
that any thing 2 be born this way

Tracing back lineage of self or

Miracles Go UnseenThe unseen miracles you can feel
the spirit force that gently heals,
the soul that makes us humankind
that seeks to hold a faith divine.
An unseen miracle started life's show
from tiny one celled speck we grow,
reaching limitless imagination
that makes miracles from fascination.

OriginsSomewhere in the darkness a tiny wave of energy begins to oscillate
It sends ripples of potentiality across the vast ocean of space
The ripples turn into larger waves
And create a shock that reverberates throughout the whole of the cosmos
Tiny particles millions of light years...

Winters' Hard TimesWho likes rich people, not many,
the middle class are rich and ignore that fact,
even though the ladies whole bit is about being likable,
maybe I'm the last one who should say what normal is,
since you spend so much time judging my cover,
but I think you know...
