Factor X Poems - Poems about Factor X

The Zii Factor

How do I explain how desolate life feels without you?
The heart craves your presence and the eyes search only for you.
You're gone, maybe not forever,
But this feels like eternity.

How do I tell you how lonely I feel even with a contact list full of names?
People who would speak.
Yet I wait for just one thing,
A long

X FACTOR

X factor which comes with ease...
All of us have one of these.
So what happens to be yours?
Found within you, its applause
Relying on you to appease.

Do not think yourself a freak...
This is what makes you unique.
Distinguishing you from the crowd...
Allowing you to stand tall - proud,
Regardless of form and physique.

A talent, skill or quality...
Sometimes a mix

The Actor Factor

If I were an actor on the big screen

With the cameras on me in every scene

I'd race for NASCAR on any old day

Date a couple starlets along the way 

I could be Rhett to Scarlett O'Hara

Maybe I'd co-star with Rooney Mara

I'd be Maverick streaking across the skies

Or start a fight with ten blueberry pies

I could

A PATCHWORK CASTLE a story of the wax factor

A PATCHWORK CASTLE – a story of the wax factor

They told me we would walk the stars,
If I took a piece of you, and a piece of me,
And a piece of him here, and a piece of him there,
And a piece of she.

They told me that the world would heal,
If you shared your mind, and

Wind-Chill Factor

I felt the southern heat in my younger childhood YEARS.
And I also felt Chicago wind-chills that brought me to TEARS.
And I felt being held captive like a prisoner of WAR whose
blood-stained body lies tortured beneath the evening STAR.
Icy winds and driven snow besieged every fiber of my BEING.
And I often shivered in pain, being prevented

Awareness Factor

When does awareness begin?
And from where does it come?
Everything or function has a source.
Who directs and influences its action.

When or does awareness end?
If so, who determines its demise?
Does it begin at birth?
Does it end at death?

I suspect newborns feel
that the warmth they experienced
for nine months has been altered.
They discern and detect a disconnect.

They long and

Fear Factor

Once the shots rang out,
I saw the bodies fall.
In this peaceful locale,
It made no sense at all.

Just good friends and family,
That were gathered together.
In this house full of love,
Was safe from the weather.

But, on this fateful event,
A gunman trespassed.
Wearing a mask of hatred,
While hot shells amassed.

No one knew his motives,
Or why he was there.
One thing

The Exponential Factor

the meaning gets lost in translation

somewhere between cold and distant
somewhere between not knowing and not caring
between the not wanting to reach out to ask
and the not wanting to reach in to give
lost somewhere between the island of you
and the island of me

somewhere on that empty barge adrift and alone

The Issachar Factor - 1 Chronicles 12: 32, Genesis 49: 14,15, Revelation 7:7

This Issachar tribe was of lowly rank and origin
but God called them for a purpose of His own
they being one of God's twelve tribes
for they understood the times as was known

God thought on them as would a donkey
precious to God no matter how great their sin
for God's compassion forgave them all
the Lord trusted them for

The Longevity Factor

There still trying to figure it out
How you make another year
No doctors Pills Aseptic techniques
Or Answers

Just tons of Books Strong Coffee
And Sunlight

They say it's in the "genes" 
And of course the "therapies"
Where you hash 
Your past 
Confront your demons
And for a future
Stay stuck

While people find themselves
Lose their habits 
And remain the same
You work on
Loosening yourself

Please

Warp Factor 3

Walking into something blinded by light
A painful and embarrassing experience
Remember that excessive speed can kill
Planets might be hidden at speed of light 

Forget the bright idea show intelligence
A vehicle which travels faster and faster
Cannot change direction in an emergency 
The light might be visible and also fluidic 
Obstructions dangers will always be solid
Remember law of

Warp Factor 2

What is after speed of light is it darkness
At the very edge of our known universe
Reaching beyond our human endurance 
Please we want to take you to our leader

Facing a choice to return back to earth
Aliens came in peace but beat a retreat
Cause they couldn't understand humans
Terrorising each other because of greed
Oh the joy keeping

Warp Factor

We boldly go where no one has gone before
All because we couldn't travel as fast as light
Remember that space is vast in all direction 
Power is necessary if we're to boldly go there

Firstly we left earth gravity then we see space
Acceleration is a key factor to space travelling
Collision inevitable due to flying debris around
To keep

Giggle Factor Rimas Dissolutas

I’m too angry to write clearly 
yet it’s impossible to stop;
How many times must we do this,
ride this absurd merry go round?

We speak with such sincerity,
flimsy words they just go pop;
Left with such an empty abyss 
community falls to the ground; 

Giggle factor ruptures and splits; 
Phony calling ourselves profound.

The X Factor

"The X Factor"


hunger does strange things
to souls running on empty
last stop, full to the brim

a journey unravelling 
ravenous poetry sings
other broken hearts in

how much do words mean?
how much do they sting?
Inside wants out in everything

in everything,
we believe,
we stir uneasily to let in

life hides inside stories
lost hidden gems live somewhere
buried in all the dirt deep deep
