Best Turn Off Poems

Please do not turn off the light
I’m thinking that perhaps you might
Just leave it on so I can see
Although it’s really not for me

It’s hard to see when it is dark
And I don’t want the dog to bark
So leave it on so he can see
And...

I sit on my chair and travel the world
I turn off my TV 
And cry...

In the folds of the hills
Where the concern lies
And houses are put in the inclined land

The old lady, Manuel's mother
Of Jorge and Isabel
Lived Jaime and Isabel
Lived Jorge and Amanda his wife
Lived the widow of Roberto
The widow's teenager
lived Felipe and Luis 
Lived Alejandra
Until the February fire.
Now...

Breach alarm klaxon blaring


There’s nothing to see ... 
just pretend like you didn’t hear 
that warning sound

Don’t be alarmed:
Take a couple of these Valium chill pills
to help calm your nerves down

Do you like the soothing, Geiger music in the background,
can I get you anything synthetic
to...

Turn off your imagination!
Press the button, choose your station.

TV; fast food for your brain,
numbs your senses, feelings, pain.

Flock of sheep, that’s how you’re treated.
With commercials you are greeted.

What to drink and eat and chew,
monkey see and monkey do.

We know best what’s good for you:
Turn off...

NOTHING TO TURN OFF

Crashing red lights having already entered my brain,
Insisting to stay no matter how much thoughts do complain.
Prancing white apologists entwined with remorseless killers,
Muttering useless explanations of a cause so very long dead.
Watching assassination of spirits while minds are orphaned,
Living forever alone surrounded...

Let the Christmas carols play
 solemn and prayerful just one more day.
The season's prep was all hype
 and now the holiday slips quiet into night.
For weeks ahead the songs were sung
 and in a single day seem easily undone.
Already the decorations hang and fall
 packed...

I’m in deep now,never been this deep before
The world’s hollow like a shell and I’m out its door.
In so deep, the ocean has its own startled floor.
I’m down,down.down.never been so dark , so more

I can’t rightly tell how I got where I am
I think I...

Turn off your youthlight
and say farewell to the child
embrace the gist of it
WE ARE NO LONGER FUN AND WILD
Face the fact 
accept the fear
Examine thy cracks
between the front and the rear
Fun is no more
OLD AGE is now in store
put down that COOL AID
take pleasure in...

He came into my life when I was just a little girl 
I was happy and young, and then he changed my 
world. 

One night I was in bed and he came to say good night. 
Except he took a little longer before he turned...

hypnotherapy
the power of suggestion
subliminal clips
mystery of human mind
such propaganda
turn off your TV people
your heart needs your attention...

Every dollar that I spend 
Is one less for you in the end 
Think about that concept friend
It's not that hard to comprehend...

Compose me a song
I’ll never hear;
And I’ll write you a letter 
You’ll never read,
Words built up in me 
Before we met
Legos now scattered 
In a sandbox
Where no one plays; 
See the silence thick 
From the echoes 
Yet to be heard
Lying under the shallow grains
Waiting to...

Braising traumatic brain injury pain

easily distracted by too many ads 

the sheer notion of being creative

is having a creative space to write
 
sincerely fight flight beyond plight

LIGHT-SWITCH
I was ignored in the light
So I hid in the dark
I was shamed and sly
So I told myself a-lie
Full of despair, now I grown out my hair
Like Samson my strength in follicles
My feelings recreational 
Neither longer truth nor dare
This chapter in my life sparks
Memories no...
