Best Tripping Poems

Bewilderment all around
Lost in places
Never seen or felt before

Is it best just to forget?
Tripping over issues
You can’t resolve

I don’t like this phase
Where happiness 
Scatter

As if it knows heartache
Is around the corner
Tripping over loneliness

That invisible rope

Yet, 
I feel that proverbial space
I’ve been here before
I can deal...

Tripping

She's tripping over memories
of those red flags she had.
It seems to her the good times
are far outweighed by bad.

She's running out of patience
she's run out of things to say.
She asked God give me one reason
to make me want to stay.

She listened for a moment
to the...

Is it just me?

Alone in my head?

Figuring if am alive or dead...

all alone... please come inside

Who else is here? you. me. us. all Three?

3 in 1

alone or with my amigo

ego, you there? do you exist?...

Illusion? To be put to the test?

No not I... I not...

Dance?

romancing
the lost agenda

You’re so

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)








“Hail to thee, blithe Spirit!
Bird thou never wert,
That from Heaven, or near it,
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.”

somethings change and 
 somethings stay the same

 walking into the basement bathroom 
 noticing how the light reflects off of 
 the mirror above the towel hanger
 
 now there are mermaid bones mixed 
in the porcelain and urine in my toilet.

Tripping Point: An Opioid Odyssey 

There are lines we cannot see, hardly know exist
Until we cross them. Then, as if by trip wire,
The temptress snare catapults us into a world
Of primeval darkness with no guide star. 

“Hear my song and have a life of feel...

Painted in a mural,
Flat vision for eyesight.
Unable to connect.
The world is so unreal....

The Summer leaves once lush and plump with olive sheen and
     whitened veins are discolouring in the fall,
     Hanging with fragility on thinning stems as Autumn breezes through
     translucent foliage and to the...

Stealing the ether of abstract visions
my thoughts wander to kiss memories,
resurrected through fractured pains.
Needle breaks the surface, but is 
unable to penetrate the chemical perimeter
that shrouds my conscience.
Drifting in rainbow fantasies,
nirvana beckons with painted smiles.
Becalmed beneath echoed sighs, 
I trip on fractured moonbeams
and wallow, bleeding...

Solarplexis,
winds adrift
journey to 
endings.

Looping, skipping
hand in mine....

Tripping on Insanity, lucid dreaming nightmare/
People hating on me but I'm chilling like I don't care/
Making deals with the Devil, paying all my dues/
Spawning many demons and he only dropping clues/
Not holding up his end of the deal trying to play me/
So, now I'm fighting...

Cherry paddle you carved a few years ago.
Short portages in with good trail, except for
One boggy bit to breed mosquitoes.
Mosquito repellent for said boggy bit.
No motorboats after first portage.
Fair wind and clear sky, except for
One bad day to make the trip real.
One big fish that...

twilights habitual reach
trickles soft
arises a shade to cover
drapes the frame to a view 
imposes with a lean 
lounges in a requiem
perched upon a window brink
fallen sleepless again
gazing the horizon
 
inspires a simple measure
the shimmer closer 
a marvel of visible light
strikes the window blind
touches battered and...

In the vastness of the Heavens/
Where shadows twist and sway/
God sits upon His throne/
Craving praise everyday/
A delusional narcissist/
In robes of iron clad might/
Condemns the soul's below/
To eternal, fiery night/
He whispers of love/
Yet rules with an iron fist/
Demanding blind devotion/
A sadistic, twisted tryst/
Freedom of choice/
A mirage...
