Best Switching Poems
Switching On the Lighteach room bright
well lit I find
myself switching off
a light that’s not on
it’s off it’s bright
feast to the sight
walls are textured white
the moon looms
when the brightness dims
on shadowed limbs
outside-in and inside-out
and upside-down the lids
close and darkness hearkens
dreams and nightmares
and in betweens
til morning sits up
in its time...

Switching Placescrawling from the box he lived in
after finding the secret number in a smut rag
available to all who seek it out on the street,
he made his way to the seemingly abandoned building
where after hitting the buzzer, he was instructed to give
the password that had...

Switching PlacesI walked down a road the other day
and met a neighbor while she said "Hey,"
I watched her bend over
to pet her dog "Rover"...
what a darn lucky dog I must say!...

Flip-Flop Reality Switching Off and OnI lie in flip-flop half enlightened state, half asleep, half awake
Betwixt shut eye and shuttered eye peeping out half open slit.
Flipping and flopping not knowing which state is real, surreal or dream.
Can I choose the better take?
Can I choose the better outcome?
Consciousness held suspended, reality...

Switching MedsTitrate down
till all the help is out of your system
the thoughts come fast
the pointless days
silent nights
the evil, sharp edges of sanity
roll with it, as blades of suicidal ideation
fill your waking hours
wait, wait, wait
the new one will come soon
new medicine that will take the...

Switching SidesTugging on my strings
Pushing me to the brink of insanity
With your endless taunts
Your twisted mind games
You know the power you hold over me
Giving yourself a grandiose view
Of your worth to me
Assuming that my slavish devotion
Means a desire for your heart
For it is not amorous...

Who Is Switching Off My SunDid you know
You were the one
Who always stirred up so much fun
Fun for me and fun for you
Oh so much fun, if only you knew
But I am now dead to you
That is what you wanted true
So I now just wish that you knew
How much fun...

Switching SidesHollow whore’s are they that trample over the innocent,
Grabbing for power like only the unworthy would,
Prostituting for perks because they’re willing to get ed,
......................So I used to believe,
Back when I was a naive idealist,
But life shows all sides of the coin,
I have seen first hand...

Switching To Dietaround and around and around it all spins
hitting the bottom without bottoming out
just when I think it is done now for good
up to the top it all bubbles again
the effervescence with all of the fizz
I thought was flat, left without the cap
I guess it doesn't...

I Lost My Emotional Baggage Switching Planes of ConsciousnessI reached a point in life where I was so disillusioned,
in my head there was nothing but chaos and confusion
I had trunkloads of trouble
piled up like rubble,
and suitcases stuffed with so much sorrow,
I couldn't see my way to tomorrow
My emotional baggage was overflowing with bad...

Switching TracksLeading without any direction, a train without tracks
Advice I should really take myself, try more to relax
Squeeze every second possible but not in such a hurry
The worst thing to do is to be the center of my worry
There are too many days I lived out...

Switching Brains(This is a fictional poem)
A scientist removed my brain and he removed George Bush's brain too.
He put our brains in each others bodies and there are things I plan to do.
First I'm going to withdraw our troops from Iraq.
Then I'm going to do something to...

Switch of the TellySwitch off the telly
Calm the nerves in your belly
Release the stress from your head
Don't worry about what they said
Accepting ourselves though there are things we lack
To have a purpose and give something back
To be accepting of others our sisters and brothers
It's to share warmth and...
