Long Rack my brain Poems

"The Wretched Prince"

You were my hope
And all my dreams,
But all of that has changed,
It seems

Because I treated 
You so bad,
Destroying everything
We had

And if I could
Just turn back time,
I'd claim you and,
I'd make you mine

I'd treat...

A fly and ant, upon a sunny bank,
Discuss'd the question of their rank.
'O Jupiter!' the former said,
'Can love of self so turn the head,
That one so mean and crawling,
And of so low a calling,
To boast...

twasn’t an absence of belief in
hexes or voodoo shit, black magic,
witches or warlocks,
which brought to mind the maddening
of the crickets, for
900 species of those sinister gryllidae 
couldn’t be wrong &
they came anyway---
chirping their nocturnal nonsense...

Why do we continuously watch this show?

Laughter rings out,
At the idiocy shared,
Palms slap together,
As jokes only us understand,
Bring about mirth,
Secret glances shared,
As knowing smiles grow on our faces,
Thoughts expressed,
As if minds were one,
Mannerisms from the other,
Adopted without knowing,
Compromises made, 
With no...

   Murder upon murder you'll see

Start with Adam and Eve's son, Cain

As I sat on the couch in the living room,
I began to think about life and how it

And what would I do if death came 
knocking right then and there.

Time passes, 
I look in retrospect 
on a life petering out. 
Memories rack my brain, 
there under the pine tree 
we stand embraced 
in perfect harmony, 
our names chiselled 
on the tree's trunk, 
our love...

My Childhood in vain?

Being small is a boon or a bane
I would say its all very insane
The expectations that adults keep of you
Is enough to scare your wits out too!

Exam time is the least exciting...

The leaves turn brown and the cold sets in
As darkness falls, my joy grows dim
I'm unsure of the problem and why it arose
Why have you just appeared-suppose only God knows
It was never a problem- and...

How many of you have done this?
You go into another room
To get something really important
Suddenly your mind goes KABOOM!

In the lightning flash of a instant
You haven't a clue why you're there
You rack your brain for...

The last piece finally broke,
The one i've held onto desperatly,
For it was the one piece,
I used to define me.
 I stare at the shattered splinters of hope,
Lying lifeless in my tattered hands,
How did i let this...

Trying to pull words out of thin air

Rack my brain seething demons
foaming diseased embellishments
whisper foundly in a chaotic masterpiece
what doubtful lovers bed a widows heart
the satanic satin sheets that lie in between supple thoughts
reething sickness traveling foundly throughout the soul
into the tips...

I find myself at a quandary,
A hopeless dead-end alley.
I sit, I think, I wait, I despair,
I rack my brain for remembrance.
I search seas and find nothing.

I am a sailor without stars,
An explorer without a compass,

He was tall, 
dark & handsome!
I was ready 
to pay him a ransom!

I fell for 
his rookie charm,
All I wanted 
was to hold his arm!

So I approached him 
with fear in my mind,
To my surprise,...

Stories all of our making
Sound packed tales keep him from sleeping 
We rack our brain to...

A simple choice 
  presents itself
Play it safe
  or take a chance

I sit and stew
  and analyze
As if my choice

I sift and sort

Hamstrung by
