Best Unplugged Poems

She blows in like a whirlwind

And glimmers like the sea

Her eyes shine like midnight stars

And cold as winter's breeze

She'll promise you the pleasures

That you have never known

You will shower her with gold and jewels

And she'll tease you till you groan

She will take from your friends

Convince...

Turn off that smartphone, unplug yourself
Before your battery stops powering itself
Only offer the brain native analog signal
Forgot about any screen or the next level

Listen to creatures talk, remember inside
All you wanted to do was just to be alive
Reaching higher stars in the nick of time
Every...

I have updated my phones, all the latest gadgets, that is me
So this day I unplugged the old answering machine
No longer needed, a redundant old piece
Time for the old thing to be put to rest
It has served me well over the years
Keeping me in touch...

unplugged 2

form formed facilitating figurative
impressions, indicating illusory images
leaving lines lingering
lost loves looking lenient

mutually morphing mutated mild memories
yearning, yielding

still seeking superfluously some singular sensation
omitting old obsessions
until unanimously underlining 
lust, loathing lost linear liabilities

withheld woes weaving worries
indirectly interfering, instilling indifference
this tame, transparently treacherous tale
haphazardly hides hate

horrified? horizons...

When I am 90 I will look back and vaguely remember the clothes I wore, the car I drove or the house I lived in. I will reminisce about the places I went, the things I did, and the people I met along the way....

I come unplugged 
Blank with expression
A regression into a past
that sticks
superglued to my ass
that damn past!!!!
i clasp my hands 
against the railings
of moments that adds more loads of sh.....
spitting words of hurt 
regretting that i held on
the heat becomes numb as the
chill takes over
as the...

I took a bunch of cliché’ I knew
Put them in a cliché’ stew
Claimed the work was fresh and new

Nearby a blue-lit screen was weeping
For human-ness was slowly creeping
Exposing secrets it was keeping

Thus, in attempt to ease its angst
Said “its not real, just childish pranks”
The screen...

How has technology saved us?
The world almost runs itself
Digital empires in our hands
Keeping everything in demand
Just another buzz word again
What remains a classic lasts
Now becoming the end of this
The next best thing never is
Screens might be counterfeit
Put down the phone for a sec
You may just...

Hey, I bother you, just a couple of secs?
Can you please point me towards ole Route 66?

Thanks!

Think I will just cruise down that path for a few miles
I like taking time more than making time these days
No time to peruse, racing down some interstate
I like...

An orange Tesla that was bought by Scott
Ran out of go juice right there on the spot
Then was quickly passed
By a Pacer, gassed
And AMC car shaped like a kumquat...

If I could
rearrange the way I write
so each line, each rhyme
would synchronize your heart beats
with mine
you would probably feel
blood rushing through your vein
and it wouldn't really matter
if they call you insane

If I could
orchestrate words into a single world
it would synchronize your synapses with mine
You'd...

A thousand setting Suns
whispering dreams of flight
there was an angel nearby
"Can I have your wings?
I'd like to fly"
He said no
I grew my own
with feathers made out of regret and time

take a peek into my unplugged mind
there's a high chance you might just find
a blind...

Inexplicable blessing luckily
avoiding potentially grim fate
finds yours truly coming to grips,
how afterlife did not accommodate

the missus, and/or myself unwittingly
loved ones would never acclimate
reality of our permanent absence,
thus existence all the more I appreciate
and attempt poetically articulate.

Herewith the scenario that defies
conventional atheistic wisdom
finding me unable to...

taking a walk alone
at home i leave my phone
my purpose will not be defeated
my opinion in many minds have been deleted

so many things here for years i have missed
taking a walk alone and unplugged is what i insist
this is just my new journey in life
it...

Dove off the ledge
unplugged from the socket
that pumped the bloody blood
too stunned when she got it

Ninety-seven stories off
the ledge of her choosing
past planets and satellites
free falling 
and cruising

Dead zone promised
quietude with silk grass
ground zero approaching
        too late recognized
–...
