Long Rationalise Poems

Pleasure To Be Here! 

I am here at PoetrySoup because I had no voice, 
No expression of what was internal and inside; 
I used to as a child, three, four, and even two, 
Write poems,...

Rationalisation of Explanation


Do not question
The almighty plan
For such are the reprisals of fear
That turn blind despair into adulation 

The evident proof
Existent in raped women and children
Irrefutable in famished stomachs
Undisguised in all the suffering

Hangs stark and...

my depression is like trying to live whilst dead,
 its like a barrier holding me down to my bed, 
sometimes I think I might as well be blind because everything seems like a blur in...

The process is easy, theory simple, action not complex at all

You tense a muscle, physics follows law and chemistry combines

The reality, as so often, is different

Your eyes blink in salt, your heart pounds, your lungs...

There's no poetry in me
I'm empty
I'll make sweeping remarks
Change my mind
Keep it in 
Spit it out
Sink and fly
Gaze out in a daze
Lost beneath eyelids

and what I can never be: 
an animal caged 
whilst dreaming of the Serengeti. 
A letter addressed,

As a child, naïve, blinkered. 
Life...

As it is where do we stand in the face of fear? Fear for a child, a parent, a loved one or a peer!

How do we rationalise the chances we take? A soldier may die...

Anger sets in, deep in the mind.
Amygdala fires up, logic becomes blind.
Tightness of chest, muscles tensing, preparing for fight or flight.
Anger sets in, deep in the mind.

Thoughts crash and topple trying to find.
Scrambling to make...

Close your eyes, breathe in and feel 
What your senses experience, what is real 
Sight alone can miss what is there 
Sometimes you don’t see…even through a stare

Then there are sounds that conjure a vision...

Brooding Nimbus

Those Irrational numbers used in maths, 
They lead to understanding what's real,
Those numbers rationalise all that we make, 
Like building a perfectly round wheel,

With pi and e and the Golden ratio, 
And of course the...

Some people make me smile

Some people have a heart of gold

You can always tell who they are

It doesn't matter how poor, how pretty or how old 

Without these people the world would be a worthless...
