Long Double time Poems

I know it, I'm a bit more than broken
I wish I could be more in your face
instead, I hide behind nice
away there in a corner by myself
I want to be seen 
I want to be...

Her cognition is sporadic
Longing for her to relax
And display calm tactics
Lay on my chest like it’s a hammock
When she isn't calm
I can't stand it
Cause behaviors like these in women
Can easily become habits
It won't happen to...

I suspect Albert Einstein's mathematician wife
taught spatial Left
and temporal bicameral Right Al
to feel the passing
and surging
spatial ebbing and temporal flowing,

Circling
and spiraling evolutions
and oceanic NonZero Sum sweep
of 4D overflowing empowerment
in primal Earth enlightening space
3Dimensional
in bilateral Yang...

Bum.Boom....Bum.Boom....Bum.Boom
The sounds of a drum beat resounding over me.
In her eyes I gaze and wonder of how deep I can go,
The essence of her eastern beauty inticed me.
Hair of black satin rests on her flesh,
The...

...The sharp-shooters opened on him first,
Cutting down fifteen of his dragoons,
Tartleton ordered a grand charged,
with his infantry now on the move.

were absorbed in the second line,
who had been ordered to...

cat, dog, food, humor, mom, pain, summer,


I tripped over  feet
My shoe laces both came undone
Slid in my 'spilled' milk
Cut my finger on broke glass
My blood now was mixed in milk!

I sat on a chair

Boring summer
Idle time and
Empty streets
Endless days
Watching cars
And spinning dreams.
Sitting
Feet on the ground
Looking down
For something to see
Music drifting
Through open windows
Words from a song 
"It hurts to be in love"
Made me feel 
Lost
Somewhere between fourteen and twenty.

Something is going on in the crime novel section.
I hear slamming and shrieking and then silence.
Mr. Pine had been the last patron of the evening.

Striding into the snowy fortress my tepid heart at double time 
paces
Entering a pine colonnade sprouting a wintry mane, saddled with 
velvety laces    
Cloaked with icy needles forming a brittle, hooded trellis
Golden beams seap...

MY SPIRIT SINGS

Almond eyes speak: "Take me home please--
bonnie green fields where I may wander,
chasing butterflies and darting dragonflies
dearly gazing to blue and orange streak skies.
Everyday, I will find some daffodils
fixing and tucking one to...

I wanted to be a rich girl
In my posh executive suit
But then a little person
Made my life change route.

Posh make up replaced with eye bags
A bulge replacing my waist
The fear of getting through bed time

My D.I.
Written: By Tom Wright

I’ll say when you eat & I’ll say when you sleep
And from your recruit mouth I’ll hear not a peep

You’ll resemble some...

On the bus,
On the bus,
On the bus,
Again.

Practicing the beats,
On the back of a seat,
All I can feel,
The beat on my seat too.

Cause we're the band on the moon,
Gettin' ready for the contest,
Got my black dress...
