Best Tranquilizers Poems

I'm dying and I'm angry because it isn't fair,
and with my family, friends and loved ones this news I will not share.
It's hell for me to be going through all of this alone, but that is the cross I must bare.
It's my last gesture to...

The Job

I got a plane to catch in the morning.  8:15 AM out of Austin, destination Orange County, CA.  Never cared much for California and I don’t think anything about this trip is going to change that feeling.  Ain’t nothing but a...

Heavy-hearted beneath your bridge with tides drowning
Eccentric beyond repair and never learning your lesson
Relief found comfortable only when you're frowning

Somber ruefulness contingent on your severe depression
Addicted to any mind altering chemicals; lost not found
Dastardly and wicked like a cowardly lion and a thief
Nondescript and lacking...

'Tis a twisted, tawdry tale !!
Poor Tom the Turkey is in a tizzy !!!
Tom's tongue is in a tangle, too terrified to talk !
Taunts and threats taking a toll
Tormented by a tip from tattle-tale townfolk
That Tom's in trouble!  Tom's time is ticking !!
Tom the...

ARGH! NO MORE MEDICARE!

A worst nightmare loomed large
notification courtesy Montgomery County
Assistance Office caseworker
implied medical coverage axed
I felt hammered, nailed, shingled out...
livid with rage
frenzied, harried, jarred...
railing away
fit tubby tied to train tracks
ready to kill myself!

Bajillion dollars for medications
yikes - anxiety/panic attacks
slated to return with vengeance,
no way...

So many surviving,
Desperation is driving
Impulsive decisions
In need of emotional circumcision,
So many astray
In a world of disarray
Polluted by deception
In need of a spiritual resurrection,
So many sedated
Zombies that have mated
Domino effect
When the substance causes havoc
So many in a daze
From their lies and heathen ways
False comfort, counterfeit light
Consuming...

She soars up and above the clouds
 and rides on the breeze of the wind.  
 Bringing words of hope and inspiration
 as the breeze lifts her wings-high--higher.
 Her heart and soul flies higher than an eagle
 And her words dance in the wind-wild...

Taryn and Tigger of Irishville
Lived in fear of a windowsill
The old woman there was old and mean
And of cats she truly was not keen

I wish the faerie of St Pat was near.
She would fix that old dear.
She’d make her kind, and change her up.
She’d put...

I have something to say
These days I don’t pray
As painters paint the sun grey
The waters don’t caress the bay.

Light or dark whatever we follow 
 With gay faces hiding minds hollow
Tranquilizers seem best to swallow
As the world looks fine and mellow

Lovers don’t vow each other’s...

The human being
(also referred throughout history
as 'long pig' and 'hairless goat'
in the case of younger specimens)
Observing the anatomy and skeleton,
one can see that the human animal
after death young tender meat.

The large central pelvis and broad shoulder blades
also interfere with achieving perfect cuts.
There are advantages to...

How unappealing... the missus went bananas
courtesy hurling mandarin oranges.

Yes quite juvenile
unladylike childlike behaviour,
mine wife oft times doth display,
I do not deplore

yours truly reckons
tis futile effort causing furore
aye attest bull
in china shop incorrigible hardcore
exhibited by spouse

out of bounds antics bon jour
earlier within marriage
shenanigans twas the stuff
back...

I am on an Isolated Airline flight, 747
sitting in first class 
with my carry-on bag
Looking out the window 
Viewing the horizon 
Seeing patches of clouds
In the blue sky  
I am on my way to a town called Insanity
To fill my brain with peaceful thoughts
So...

O, Blue! Blazing like precious sapphire or Tanzanite pure,
Or the blueness baking and basking the seas and allure;
Like divine rays spreading within cells and leading to depths,
Rendering calmness and serenity as though pure breaths!

Like treasures within the earth, healing is hidden in you;
As tempests or...
