Long Misplace Poems

I need a little change of pace
take a flight to outer space
make an attempt to paint a face
upon a planet without moons
make an attempt to just spin across the rings of Saturn
I just need a...

I was forever losing things, and my laughing friends called me a klutz,
Like darker skies misplace buttery sun, when a severe storm develops.

I had once lost the keys to my house, and waited locked out...

Every step feels like a hurricane or twister, and it’s not child’s play
I keep letting go of the notebook, guess it’s time to review the frames
You can never walk on water if you don’t first...

""Child's Play""

You go down like rain,
A wishing star in disguise, 
You scream bloody murder 
-the perfect two-face disgrace
Your lips forever stain and reside with Benedict A 
Your eyes hide the truth, like a lost domain...

I would deny its existence and favor the second place
prediction of Tuesday; 
For the beginning is never subtle, and it tends to hunt
my off-beat verse. 
Such a consistent verse, as it never sits on time...

D.P. You're Beautiful.
First day of school, first time I see you,
God have you grew in two months who knew,
Such time flies feels forever young guys I lust for you,
That has my heart you drew;

On my...

You shall be the grace of my core, 
we sing love’s song, by loves own shore, 
my Goddess divine, I adore.
My eternal rose blooms for you, 
you are ever my love so true, 
my beloved,...

“The wake of one’s desire is the wake in one’s dream
Nothing belongs an ever within The Ancient to seem
Of dreams misplace, of thoughts misled and of mind misread
Where sorrows are only ever to grow and...

Almost immediately, we were surrounded by a mass of blacken sea
And I held onto Alkaiya, surrendering to fate for our death to be
A moment pass, a time seemingly misplaced by the hands of God
And in...

This feeling of needing something more is eating me up inside
It keeps washing over me like a tidal wave...there's nowhere to hide
When the icy water of isolation hits my skin,
It leads me back to the...

Sometimes you must lose all you felt you once needed
But all you ever feel is cheated

You can't pull diamonds from the sky
There is no constellation prize

You’ll never be happy, never complete
To you there’s only a...

Every day in school
They would pick on him
And threaten to kill his mom
If he reported them

The constant abuse 
And the physical attacks
For months he took it
And the teachers all turn their backs

The shame and humiliation
His...

10/1/14

Battered knuckles
and crazed smile
Broken china
and acidic bile
Fleeting Psychosis
lost contact with reality
My past-life diagnosis
seems to be shattering
Gripping metal tables,
while stripped down to nothing
Ties over wrists and ankles,
heart monitor humming
Poked by useless needles
Jabbed at by doctors
All I...

These holidays, like a whirlwind romance…can’t catch my breath. Hustle and bustle of parties and gifts. Figuring it all out, the list, counting it at least twice. Birthday parties piled up, tissue paper scattered like...

Then one day you ask Alice
And she whispers in your ear
There’s a special place built just for you
To misplace all your pain and fear
There’s a hole unlike any other
Infinitely deep
Some things in there will awaken...

Entering a new phase of life full of standing ovation
can be disrupted by the polarized effect of growth.
Innocence is pressed by social hypocrisy
to expose a young heart to adult conspiracies.
It’s tough to be in between...

My heart is an ebon swallowed night where nobody ever goes,       
raging in a recondite rift like ripples resounding in rueful repose.       ...

There is a vicious, ground-dwelling creature
Burrowing into my skull,
Maybe a mole,
It doesn’t matter.  What matters is
My head is cracked and pillaged.
Instead of gray matter, it’s full of snot
And mucus; it’s crevices drip,
And no matter...

Imagine they find your bones
in a boggy field -
it happens all the time,
speaking of which,

time is your pocket handkerchief,
your wristwatch,
and your best evening pants
all reduced to insect dust.

Only a fragment
(a rust-addled skimpy second hand)
remains to...

Looking for it

Checked the cabinet under the sink, the drawer with miscellaneous tools; even checked the hutch at the bottom of the stove/ it wasn’t in the kitchen.  Checked behind the couch in the...

Warning - Don't read The Raven and Watch Hitchcock on the same night. 

Once before my bedtime, nearing, which I dreaded, fazed and fearing,  
Stories mother would read me before she closed and locked...

My pen talks to me but nobody believes me
The paper in my pad tells me that I need to use each piece
My pen says you use me till I'm empty then won't keep me

I live between tonight and tomorrow.. 
I dance upon the valley that separates adulthood from recklessness. 
I find myself in the city lights, 
caught between my mother's nightmares and my freedom. 
My mistakes stay in...

To never see your face again 
To lose the map of your body
To misplace memory itself 

For example   
Today I lost your nose 
I couldn't remember which nostril
Was bigger 
 
Last month it...

—wThis Thing Called Aging



1All day, no, far more nearly for 2 years,
I have been thinking I have had
Enough of being old, being
Pleasant about this form of present:
I have had enough of this aging task.
