Best Wind Up Poems

Child play. Dawn, as a wind-up toy,
jumping up and down, keen.
A buoyant verdancy of joy -
waking up fresh and green.

Waking up fresh and green.
The ivy…the oaks and weeps.
On the salient morning I lean.
Whatever this day…it is for keeps.

Wiping tears and sand from ducts.
The ascension of...

"The Wind-Up Man, The Patch-Work Girl and The Remaining Time"



What do you do when your heart breaks into a million pieces?
You turn into metal, what’s left of your heart freezes.


What do you do when your world ceases?
You lock the shards of your flimsy trust behind...

Realm of humankind wheedled in reset,
Homeland beray, lull to beset, 

Scrawling the parchment to a keyset,
Xenophobia in callousness, 
Dearth to darn the clout concord. 

Orness synergy alliance the terrene.
Berth errand the rassle office,
Commissions detach the hassle orifice... 

Pensile the ensile spirits,
Circumscissile recoiled resiliency, 
Nuanced tensile...

we are puppets 
and
we are paintings of puppets past 
historic yet breathing 
living but not alive 

we are dancing upon your no mans land
and we are spinning to the melody of the tears our mothers shed 
upon the same
no mans land

history is a wind up...

Between each limping breath
the sky pulsates blanched green searing,
each day inspired by gray blight, each day
the firmament harbors dense, blazing energy,
a circus troupe of skyward lungs hacking up 
the essential thoughts of Winter.
Heads of hail gloriously divebomb now,
heads the very size 
of goners.

This Age shall...

Oh! How can I forget your face
The tenderness, of your embrace
Your precious smile your gentle kiss
These things, I know, I’ll always miss
The way you’d squeeze and hold me tight
And making love all through the night
The way you’d talk the whole day long
Or sing that sad...

Stuck in your box of ease
Fear holding you back from being free
Holding to comfort so you'll never fail
But this zone is starting to feel like a prison jail

So throw off the chains of easy
And mix up your routine
This life is all you'll live for
Make it...

Here I am 
    a wind-up doll
  Now almost run down

  Wondering why
    I was so wound up
  Something in the world
              ...

Something has you really dazed
You seem lost and kind of phased
Confused, hurt and really blue
Tell me what happened to you
What made you feel like this
Taking away all your bliss
Leaving you in a weird place
There's a look upon your face
That is new--your eyes are blank
It's like...

Took me fifty-seven years,
To wind up in this joint,
I still wonder sometimes,
Just what was the point?

Seems to me I was smarter
At twelve years old,
Or so it seems,
Cause that's what I'm often told...

I think the idea is crazy,
I'm smarter than ever,
Just look at my work,
Okay, I'm...

Why I cant control myself about the matter of you ?
Are there an unpredictable version in your hand
Or the sea of love beneath in your eyes
And your image had an unbelievable heart peace 
Whether had or not I lost my sense upon you
My routines are...

Tiny dancer
upon the air
flits and flaps
buzzing slaps
of wings against
a light breeze.

A wind-up toy,
a filling station
for nature’s nectar
a buzzing
fluttering
mechanism of
delightful
elation, 
is
a
hummingbird.
