Best Selective Poems

Selective Memory

Yesterday's memories
made new again.
never let me forget
I hold onto pieces
of
my life in my mind-
The day that I
forget,
is the day that I
have nothing left.

Who selects these
memory samples?
The smile, the one
dimple
the pinch-able
cheeks.Chin with cleft..

To love you was
so simple.Love
reasoned out in
tantrums and pouts--

Pull the plug
Old water down...

Alone in a world trapped in my head
Thinking of the past laying in bed.
Random moments will come over me
When all I’ll do is think and breathe.
No words will form from my lips
A brief verbal eclipse
Numerous reasons ranging
Personality unchanging, while emotions exchanging.
Words and “smiles” shared so...

If I could remember
Half of what I've forgot
That sure would be something 
I have forgot a lot

The older that I get
The better my life seemed
I can't tell the difference 
From real and what I've dreamed

You told me I was wise
When I spoke of what you Taught me
But the moment I made my own truth
You stopped listening.

Small by all accounts the mind transfers-
Philosophy, towards our better judgement 
Which either way, decides when it occurs,  
Helps make our bias seem like some resent 
Courageous does a swaying close to tender
Within the deepest consciousness of tilt, 
and choosing is defined but only...

Blinded to all of the desirable flaws
within pillow reach
Shallow beauty of uneven temperament
rises and falls
with the tide of X-ray attraction

Ultraviolet thoughts in visible range,
scan the scarred marks 
on an arrhythmic, telltale heart
Tender touch select a barely audible
passionate promise of silhouette pleasure
Sarah Vaughan on the playlist,
speaks...

I choose to forget that I have lied.
I choose to forget that I have died.
I choose to forget that I have lived.
I choose to forget that I have gived.
I choose to forget that I have shoved.
I choose to forget that I am loved.
I choose to...

Selective hearing loss going on,
His wife said, "That's a pretty lady"
He said, "She sure is...I mean HUH?"
She squinted and thought, "That's shady"

It went to the back of her mind
She let it slide just like before
Such a close one, but he got by
So glad he wasn't...

Wasted thoughts of memory
You can’t remember anything
Are these actions intentional?
I’m frightened by what they bring

To me it seems to be selective
Your memory so to speak
For things defined important to you
Are the only matters you seek

Why won’t you just open your eyes?
So you can see I’m...

Selective and Corrective Lenses

Always for eyes are corrective lenses
So after knocked out, return to senses;
Are weird ways of looking at things
May sound horrible when someone sings;
What happens when your brain condenses?

Listen to your heart and look away from the cynical
Keep looking for a downer 
And you will find what lies beneath the pain that birth's your tears
Then it becomes even harder to look up
More like heads up
Ducking in fear
Making it even harder to hold back...

The universe is a mercurial cloud.
Against its overbearing chaos,
I have only my words.
They are never solutions,
Only questions.
Always selective in their attention.
Always filters screening out 
The subatomic assault.
I have only my words. 
I scroll through cable channels.
I download all the apps.
How do I ponder a musical...
