Best Textual Poems


I Can'T Forget

I wake
cold and uneasy .
Fitful, next to 
fate’s anonymity.

The savannah interior
frees me,
from local textual thoughts,
and the worlds addiction.

Refused
the inheritance 
of earlier memory.
The girl, a dream of trains and weight returns.

We had histories
You know!
Rain washed lives,
late to change, distant in the burden of experience.


And I think I called
her,
but in burnt mornings
the words scrabble for numerical sense.

Always my superior,
I couldn’t arrange
for my sentence
to compete.

Not when your up against a champ!

I lull, 
back to Solomon’s song,
the morning of sleep
and dark water.

I believe,
my phantom body, 
has fooled me again,
and recite………….

I can’t remember to forget you

Remembering Your Breath

Your breath,
now silent from my lips,
issues instruction
to sentient
others.

And you partially
recall
my own
jumbled style,
fresh, with your cinnamon scent.

The art
of remembering
is never to forget,
you
in the night of the triptych song.

Drawn
on the canvas,
of vivid
fuschia coloured memory.
I am, textual in purpose.

This
neural faith
shows little compassion,
and
saves only the tactile of images.

Teenage Human

I’m not a Teenager,
I’m Human,
Sometimes,
Parents think I’m an alien,
Strange language,
Textual misdemeanours,
Designed to confuse, bemuse,
Abhorrent behaviour,
Perpetual beautification,
It’s just a phase.
Maybe.


Those Lowly Entelechies

Impeccant,
 of non-textual matters
 one’s covered flesh,
 and hidden embrasure’
 as diffusate primer
 slips life’s veil, and
 in agitated pontlevis,
 cleaves the universe’ reason…
 “Egads! What sorcery is this?”
 Holy heart failure, Batman!
 “Beavis and Butthead”,
 on Soteriology!
 or merely, this word wizard’
 celebrity; slap my knee,
 and pass the shinola please
 would you then consider the following:
 palliate your lesser selves, or else
 where silence seethes, your spirit will
 bleed asunderp; and in the depths of space
 and time you will forget your moment’ cill
 so divaricating your soul, until
 that whisper of your assibilate voice
 remains in memory’s forever
 as that sound of death’s last hissing
 And now to secularize
 your quarters out per se,
 a knotted rope and stallions four
 two palms, a cup and nothing
 more than, one’s perceived illation
 with rigorous and self-righteousness’
 precipitancy, my will so locates your 
 remaining sang-froid serendipitously
 and in humaneness casts, this lifeline
 out to thee for free for you to grasp,
 of each person placed above all things
 as nature sings concretism’ simplistic rhythmic
 wringing “stream of consciousness”,
 a-flowing upon thought’s eternal thaw while
 Descartes’ “Substance Dualism” does so
 battle, against Plato’ “universalia ante res”
 supernal then, is an ideal’s whim, or Ids whine
 within one’s thought’s stokehold, as axis bold
 or love’s bestow, fires the flesh to render
 that pondering patch of thinking’s wrath
 awaiting that awakening moment’s bewhisker
 in essence, life’s xenium given in kind
 as is the universe’s night skies splendor
 passing that lending thought, behind a silent chador
 visualize the context and intent within
 a compelling and perplexing write to win
 an idea’s kneel before that “mercy seat”
 this particular and incomplete entelechy bleeds
 of questions asked and left unanswered continuously
 of generations after generations in weeping
 conscience wistfully fawning in defeat
 and admitting, to a lowly ponderings musings.

By Grace

Except the grace by which I'm saved

Jesus,

Make my life a real prayer to you,

As I'm crawling, begging, pleading & passing through...

Perhaps, we in our society have bit off?

Far more then we can actually chew;

Yet who knew in full view/

A parade filled with wasps falter to fly on through nor to stick like glue;

No questions anymore just to settle for what is new/

~


We have been sliding back into an evil abyss with sin;

Shattered dreams in its timeless appease/

We then choose to water down your saving message/

Except the grace by which I'm saved,

~

In your Holy word you cause such a heavy tidal wave so behave...!

Yet you have given mankind free will some cheap thrill,

Instead many just settle for the lie that claims I am what I do;

In place of lobster brisque they end with burger on fry/

~
That is no lie!

Again through hearts that are very closed to cause harm sound the alarm!

Today more then ever we need to face the music & sound the alarm;

In pulsating textual fervor just don't ever call me late for dinner,

The vibe can go further,

With faith as a child one can get a little wild;
~

Except the grace by which I'm saved!

Premium Member Social Media Princess

We first met coasting the blurred lines
of the information superhighway. We 
exchanged polite words and respectful
kindness, though we seldom saw or heard
each other.

I am the old man of touch and eye contact,
you are the princess of text and illusions.
I adapt to your hot realms, to your affinity
for glittering screens because past and future,
old and young are but shadows cast 
over the now. 

Once I learned the rules, I believed in you.
You are alive and fragrant within the text
you deliver each moment of each day.
In the photos you send, in the stories you share,
you thrive and brighten my journey!  

Social Media Princess,
my apps erect you through your words,
like the heroine I love in my favorite novel,
the perfect Eidolon in my dreams.
You return, making your offerings 
again, and again. I somehow hear your
whispering words soothing my
solitary hungry heart. I somehow awaken
to your textual passion and kindness,
                           to my love and longing for you.

Tired Babylon

Tired Babylon

poor tattered remnants of great babylon
through poets works walls left battered and worn
she stands a sign of glory all long gone
so used the land is once again forlorn
the erudite temple is all that stands
whose textual beauty is all but dry
the desert realm left far more arid lands
but in these words shan't ever say goodbye
a new paradise needs to soon be found
still fabled ruins haunt each poets mind
forcing the over used into the ground
originals so rarely get enshrined
the legends and centuries do sing
leaving great babylon the reigning king

Sick Words

(A linguistic experience)

Was there any argument that justified 
the existence of the word-disease?
something more was said of this 
at the beginning of the completion of the understanding
who disputed any logos establishing the new negative balance
on the influence of the word on the general condition 
of the illiterate impatient patient?
scary demon-letters! 
they run through the phrasal labyrinth 
and the fat of leftover vowels
it smears the verbal walls and there is no law 
that limits the limit of the limitless
sick phonemes accept any pain 
there is no medicine and there is no leaflet insert 
it is all unpredictability
I've been using gerunds around 
like when who doesn't know
or not knowing in all a textual body
goes astray to where they call where...

Structures

structures of our existence
rankle like fire spewed by a volcano
figurative patterns extruded by natures way
elements of destruction thought beautiful
mesmerize in formed flight...pathways labeled 
“fixed” doesn’t matter where...up close 
and personal through barriers of sight
textual wisdom reminders washed away by the
flow of existence slowly and surely making its way
stars pinpointed reflect glowing embers
sonic blasts never heard by anyone except trees
one tree falling, one hand clapping never more to
be heard across eternities of the ages.

In the Zone

In The Zone

whispers...
 through the dark deranged portals you evoke fear
 filled with angelic fervor on it's textual base
 yet we dig much deep then ever before

 cries in the dark will light the spark of what we need to know
 still we stand idle as the average novice introduces its spell
 along again then the sadness evokes a newer feeling
 dwindling through the vain extraction of the never world

 we visually see a flash then a new day approaches
 on the lawn two lovers having passionate sex
 the screams of vile extreme explodes throughout
 perhaps this is the place where Nero tread

 yet again I sit alone in my house now huddled in the corner
 the twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
 the howls of Satanic laughter gives a piercing shriek through
 a candle was lit by the edge of my bed

 One can remain lax in the quietness of the moment
 yet again the setting of the sun
 a new day has begun as we embark on the moment
 Does death hurt you the most or is it fear

 You can equate logic through a firm grasp of the hand
 whispers again...
 then a faint cry,
 we construct living pyramids to honor the dead

 A stroke of luck an the impulse ensues
 onto so much more but for what
 are we grasping for straws what are we searching for ?
 quietness again this time I'm in the zone

 as if zombie creatures with viscous long fangs that bite
 dripping blood off side we run away to hide
 no one questions anymore no one has a voice
 alone one last time yet feelings of grandeur awake

 to the message of hope that spills from the sky
 a challenge to be free is a question of time
 eyes with spots digging holes in a pool of blood
 Satan laughing again spreads his wings

 Suddenly I awake but to what ?

Premium Member The End of Herstory

The End of Herstories

It used to be called senility
now Alzheimer’s, or dementia
but in Agatha’s case I’d choose
primary progressive aphasia
in which her language capabilities
slowly and progressively became
impaired as the author of more
than eighty novels lost the ability
to swim in the Alphabet Soup.

Postmortem textual analysis
suggests her vocabulary decreased
by fifteen to thirty percent.
And was her last mystery
“Elephants Can Remember”
an explanation or 
a cry for help?
