Best Seconds Poems

i sit lonely. 

the crowded restaurant is thick with sound 

i pick away at it 

moving back into the stagnant silence 
of my own comfort

the air is nasty here 
it telepathically abuses my thought patterns

still 
a far cry better 
the loud hum of food 
marching...

60 Seconds


Gruelling nights with haunted dreams
Explosions tearing at my seams
The worst, last night; I couldn’t sleep
My expendability made me weep.

With dawn awoke a brand new day
A deathly mare in my mind lay
And there it lay until at last
60 seconds had oddly past.

60 seconds not thinking...

Breathe in, breathe out
You wish life was that easy
In one, two, three
Take in your colourful pills
Then four, five, six
You’ll fall into a never-ending sleep…...

1…2…3…4…
This is battle…This is war.

5…6…7...8…
Escape is just beyond this gate.

9...10...11...
All good girls go to heaven.

12...13...14...15...
The blade is ready, the blade is keen.

16...17.,.18...19...
Everybody must demean.

20...21...22...
I’d be alive if they only knew 

23...24...25...26...
My problems are too hard to fix. 

27…28…29…30…
Life is everything but sturdy.

31…32...33…
Life is the lock,...

Ate a cookie, warm and sweet, with oatmeal and chocolate.
Yum. Yum.
The dog was on my lap in seconds, begging me for some.
 
No way, girlfriend.
It is not my fault you woofed your candy bar down already.
Problem is, these cookies are individually wrapped
 
As you unwrap...

2 seconds
a simple hug
such a short embrace
just a little bit of love

a 2 second hug
and a kiss on the cheek
a little something extra
to make her hug more sweet

a 3 second hug
and a kiss on the cheek
a hug and a kiss
for every time we meet

how wondrous...

Still Seconds ( A Valentine )

Chocolate box romance
Of ribbons and flowers
Wishes in poetical phrases
Letter and verse
Imprinted rhythmical beats of hearts
In soft sweet confessions
Underline Cupids children

But my love prowls
On feline soft paws
Its breath an engine
Its rhythm slow steaming
Waiting

Saint Valentines greatest lovers
In painted masks
Have struggled expressions
Too beautiful...

Each second dies so brief it stays
among the minutes, hours, and days
of living’s murmuration spell,
in which we mortals have to dwell;
as each moment slowly decays.

Time is inconstant; it betrays;
traps you in it’s alluring maze;
then so, quite when, it’s hard to tell,
each second dies.

Time is not...

I'm down on the ground,
My brain starts to pound,
It may not be fun,
But ten seconds aren't done.
10 seconds remain.

I still have time,
To arise again,
The timer hasnt hit ten,
Time isn't my friend,
8 seconds remain.

I punch hard, I kick,
I choke, I feel sick.

I try to yell, over...

 You have 5 seconds to apologize,
You have 5 seconds to run,
You have 5 seconds to cry,
You have 5 seconds to laugh,
You have 5 seconds to beat me,
You have 5 seconds yet you fail everytime. ...

I've seen death today
From one moment to the next
Smooth roads ... life ended

24 seconds of silence for (Kobe Bryant)

Twenty four seconds of silence,
seems like forever, 
and yet seems so short.  

Just like Kobe's journey in life,
so much accomplished and yet,
cut off in death tragically.

Kobe was known for his aggressive
competitive spirit, the so called
Mamba mentality.

Most admired him,...
