Best Ward Poems

Midnight. This white ward
drifts softly through chalked moonbeams
shifting walls argent to cream,
sifting sterile halls.
Full moon fingers reach within
touching each silvered sheet-shroud.

Jaded nurses drowse...
vials drip crystalline hope
elixirs into sick veins,
bedside water jugs
shimmer with ivory pearls;
glimmer-gentle light soothes pain.

Shades of frailty flit,
whisperings of the once-well;
escapees from harsh...

Cock got virgin spouse
they spent nice times together

she sang melodies to boyfriend
but soon she was pregnant
labor moment came with pains
Cock went to maternity ward
asking for space to labor the child
but one child it was not

One, two, three, many children
girlfriend gave birth 
midwives were tired, not...

Betty was bonafide crazy. She had shot her husband after a night of drunken quarreling, and was in the state mental hospital instead of being in the slammer. She'd shot the louse in the stomach and he had lived, fortunately for her. I never tired...

You are an enigma 
handcuffed to the claims of stagnant love. 
Why do you not respond 
to baffled me? 

I stare oft into your eyes... 
Am offered a light-filtering screen 
across a well! 
Your ways are stifling me... 

I am not a mind reader. 
Or...

Of all the kooky Coo-Coo's in the nest, Charlene by far was my favorite. Poor Charlene had virtually lost her mind after the sudden tragic death of her son, and because of that, and in addition to her hilarious antics, we were all quite fond...

Nurturing poets to produce.
My motivational, poetical writing, spoken wordress muse.

To cause me initiating rites to write.

Hideous cancer chisels away
With strange tragic sculpturing
And exposes dark flaws
heavy and black:
Inoperable, they say.

Ever present cigarette
Tenaciously supported
By shaking hand
and unfaltering need
Moved toward fried death
As wrenching cough spewed
Fire in weakened lungs.

A machine by the bed
Connected to tubes,
She wavers between
Sleep and reality
Fighting to hear 
The voices around...

Cavernous warehouse filled to the rafters
With all of my memories; forgotten laughter
Boxes unmarked, heavily taped, a dusty cluttered mess
Haphazard narrow walkways disappear into the dark abyss

Before I came to this wretched place…
Horrid, medicinal, cloying reek meant only to replace
The stench of slowing dying, tormented oblivious...

Pain
gloomy
in their eyes
i saw and felt.
Bed one, two and more                     
men, women in white gowns 
coming to and fro, caring.
In bed seven i saw, Daisy

stigma shadows the word
crown ward 
foster care 
billions made every year
with stolen children
profits are near 
prejudice blinds your eyes 
children taken every day
here 
and near  
parents love them 
fight to keep 
children lost 
taken in your sleep 
courts take them 
one foster home

How does it feel to be confined to a bed
Alone in a psych ward with the voices in your head
Your actions done and now you're here
How does it feel to be laying here

The lives you've destroyed but still deny
You don't fool me; An eye for...
