Long Backspace Poems

Start
With the common thread that ties this altogether but I 
Stop
In my tracks when I have no idea what that means so I 
Start
With the basics, wrack my brain for the information to feed my...

What could I possibly wish to say...
too much, too much but never a perfect way to word it
Perfect...I curse the word yet like a dart
it's quick to part my lips to prick the target of...

Whenever you feel lost
Or when you feel to reset
To look back and feel refreshed
Click the “Home” key
It’ll open the door to inner prosperity
A heart filled with joy
For there’s no place like home

When you feel like...

Again I am at my favorite coffee shop, sipping cappichino wanting
 to write about something other than you.
  Wanting half-heartedly to move to a different page in my life.
 Needing someone else to fill...

Backspace
All I seem to do is press erase
Here are my words, caressing Charlotte in dead space
It's against the rules to say her true name
but I needed to this day
Saying Scarlett Jade just wasn't enough
Said her...

I draw daydreams devoid of grammar.
Jumble memories with synonyms.
Cook laughter with adjectives.
Flirt with rhymings.
Drool over oxymorons.

My masterpiece is not just another
crushed paper.
Or left stale at the back of a 
hotel bill.
Or a long text message
killed...

Backspace
Backspace
it's slowly becoming my best friend
replacing the one's I go to for help
replacing the one's I keep my faith in
but then again have I really bothered to keep up with them
well less than I should...

In this digital age, where love can be found,
I dream of a world where Backspace is profound.
If I could turn back time, oh, the things I would do,
To undo the mistakes and...

Its like someone pressed Backspace I felt sidelined 
I was never involved cos I was always left behind
In Some backroom of a scientists lab for experiments 
I felt like slavery was upon me cos they...

Looking at my computer screen for
‘Unfinished writings’
I found this
“Added customer . . .
Press backspace to remove”
And I envisioned a harried store clerk
Or a call-in service person
Smiling and pressing a key
And the irritating customer
Disappears

And on...

"Referencing an old poetic imagism sort of poem I wrote some four years ago--almost to the day---wherein lies a paradox," ... by The Poet. 

MIRROR, MIRROR 

I was in a room,
there, I saw a mirror,

I already understand that children  
grow inside two blinks,
as quickly as the novel Mayfly
comes to the surface to die. 

I'm pining for those first days again, 
of edentate smiles, milestones  
to fund future...

HACKED

In deepest, darkest Web net space, 
with spirits that they Tor;
building rootkits to hide in place,
like wolves behind the door.
Downloads are baked with cyber psy's,
and mere matrix cooking;
serving up the Rasberry Pi's, 
not a soul...

From nine hours on call
In a day to
Waiting for a single reply
I learned to survive alone

I still remember how it all started
I still remember that long list of promises
Which I gave you on the very...

I wish and I want
I take and I take
I plead and I need

Why does eveyone think the world revolves around themselves
Just worry about nothing but ''Me, me, me!''
There's a splendor of encounters out there, places...

These times seem to be unspoken. 
The pain numbs me. 
Slowly, Slowly, I choose u not to awake me.
This you cannot see. Inside it kills me
Outside betrays. Can u relate?
Erase me as you backspace on...

I Know You

A friend read a book. 
Something that I had written. 
When? 
Hard to say…
About?
Really did not matter. 
The key…

“I know all about you now.” 
She chimed with all serious intent. 
As if she...

she draws memories in melodies with her eyes.
she deceives the moon
with the stars,
backspace,
and the sun
back spaces
to lengthen her daylights of joy and shorten her nights of sadness.
the direction of her gravity is twisted,
she levitates when...

A runaway S,   hissed on and on,
like    the Orient Express.

SSS

Thought   keyboard had gone off the rails
or   Howard Payne threatened a slow down.

Everybody has a past.
Everyone makes their mistakes.
But they are not there to last.
Time heals wounds that judgement makes.

Human, we are all only...
So it is safe assuming that
We can leave our errors lonely
At the drop of...

he's no musician
those aren't love songs he wrote
they're computer program notes
I slipped away in the nanosecond
it took him to blink

he doesn't know what hit him
maybe a floppy disk
falling from the sky
then again, it could've been

WHEN I SEE PEOPLE START TO WRITE WITH CAPS LOCK ON
I BASH MY HEAD AGAINST A ROCK UNTIL I'M GONE
THEY DO NOT EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO PUNCTUATE
AND ALSO GRAMMAR DO THEY CHOOSE TO DESECRATE

Deadline looms in front
Assignment to be completed
‘Backspace’ used more
Than the other
Keyboard keys
Gives a violent shake
To his head
Closes his eyes
Takes in a deep breath
Heart in loving peace
Mind in worrisome agitation
Furiously types some lines
Instantly deletes them
The wall...

Here he comes again
The keyboard pounder on the loose
Sure wish he’d learn to type
Without the finger abuse
Or overuse of
The Backspace key

Don’t smack me
I didn’t lose your pictures
You should have backed them up
Before you opened that...

Right hand:

This little piggy pressed on power
this little piggy clicked home
this little piggy clicked enter
this little piggy clicked K
and this little piggy pressed backspace all the way home


Left Hand:

This little piggy pressed on space bar
