Incomplete Poems

Advertently A Half-Baked Human Being

Born into this next life 
from the past, 
I was told 
I was a human. 
Make sense, the birth-
mark on my right 
arm hints to me like 
a treasure map. 
Well at least 
that’s what my nurse 
friend believes 

so 

I asked God, 
creation is your specialty, 
but how come a chimera looks 
more complete

Pieces

I can feel my heart
like a sponge having the fluids squeezed out of it
held in a tight grip that does not relent
the breaths I take are small
my chest is too compressed
I am broken into pieces, fragmented
every piece  different part of me
trying to put myself back together
but there are pieces I just cannot pick up
when

The incomplete puzzle

When the night dies and the horizon blushes with dawn's light,
I look around myself to find you by my side...
And all of a sudden everything falls back into their places,
Like pieces of a haphazard puzzle completed by your warm embraces.

How did this happen
lying in bed
feeling nothing
being nothing
incomplete.

Beautiful End

You are the dream,
I dared to see,
albeit knowing my somber eyes
might be daydreaming for a while.

You are the song,
I dared to sing,
hoping the world won't comprehend
your imperfect lyrics the way I did.

You, calm as evening breeze,
I let you touch my soul,
when mundane days of life
made me look for left pieces of peace,

You, my broken beloved,
I

Incomplete

"Incomplete"

I drown in your love
there is another world 
underneath

in the depths of your kiss
our minds meet 
caressing along curves

silky blue
the satine currents
azure sky and storms

I see me
open and
reflected in you

tasting the rolling 
rapture reaching 
your crystalline bed

diving for pearls 
you are 
a coded parable

worth exploring
a fathomless ocean 
with tides calling me 

incomplete
unfathomable
your movements 

inconsistent
consistently 
immovable

Incomplete Metamorphosis of Distilled Adolescent

Incomplete metamorphosis of distilled adolescent...

therefore he characterizes himself as an anomaly...any idea why?

Mortified, petrified, stultified, et cetera sheltered, 
and mortally wounded prepubescent,

I consider myself
analogously buttressed, cocooned,
garrisoned (for bing keeler), 
hardened, insulated,
where cell baited jumping frog
o' Montgomery County ne'er
went leaving larvae stage,
now no divine providential
power can assuage,

yours truly metaphorically locked
within invisible iron bound cage
every occasion to

Premium MemberFeeling Incomplete

human condition
feeling a sense of lack
seeks change and so strives

we are here
wish to be elsewhere
but imagination too is limited

analysis is paralysis 
so best cease thinking
and mindfully begin feeling

unfed ego recedes
light of our soul dawns
we restart life from the scratch

Premium MemberIncomplete Farewell

Redolent, posh lyrics have hidden flaws.
Surrounded by a rusty sapphire sanctuary
That dampened the beauteous bronze glow.
Gold-sparkly afterglows can be sumptuary.

Surrounded by a rusty sapphire sanctuary
with acidic pollens and nervous neon wisps
Gold-sparkly afterglows can be sumptuary.
built an array of dark and wicked tale tips.

With acidic pollens and nervous neon wisps
Where platinum wings are tightly encased,
built by

Things Have Been Incomplete

Life is with halves replete,
No one real thing complete,
As things gladly deplete
And these sadly repeat:
Someone could include heat 
And a drunk wet soil peat 
I : a rock-n-roll beat
And clothes sewn from long sheet,
Because they at last shrink
And go ahead to stink;
My prestige starts to sink…

Things have been incomplete
And often this we meet.

Premium MemberThe Newspaper

Keep your morning informed 
With a piece of newspaper
Stay connected with the rest of the world
Besides your small confined self-centred world
Stay up-to-date with 
The critical news
The breaking news
The latest news
The in-depth reports
Like dropping a bombshell into a dull world
But news can't simply be surfaced
Without evidence of a witness 
Or some physical proofs
Or else it will

Incomplete

Is it true there’s a balance in death when one gives birth?
Can you imagine a life without death?
It’s not much fun for a dog without rabies,
Imagine a world without enemies…

What actually is pleasure without pain?
Is it wise enough to make sales without gain?
What other reason has philanthropy if not fame?
How can I shoot points when

Premium MemberFeeling Incomplete

Feeling incomplete and confined
In darkness, we flounder
Try as we might, truth not divined
Head and heart asunder

If we choose, to be still
God’s touch, all voids does fill
Bliss then does overspill

Singing out of beat
Feeling incomplete
