Long Reimagine Poems

Long in the tooth male doth recount, reflect, reimagine...
his woebegone damn dental daze today May 5th, 2021 

No particular rhyme nor reason
garden variety indentured flunky (me)
revisits his salmagundi salad days, 
when oral blight smote

What does it feel like to wake up into your skin?
Your day?
What do you feel first most days?
Is it in any way influenced by gratitude,
or totally given over to worry,
anxious
or, worse, anticipating 
shortness of healthy...

Amidst the chaos of chalk and dreams deferred,
We ask ourselves, where can we find the spark
In this labyrinth of rote and rigid words?
The burden we bear, a future stark

We've trudged through dusty classrooms, yearning
For wisdom...

Who are you and who am I
and could it be we’re kindred spirits 
deep inside?  
And I wonder if this life’s a dream, the matrix 
of an endless scheme
begotten long ago, 
when time was...

We sat in the fallout 
of last year’s gift exchange—
smashed angel centerpiece 
taped back together 
as good as a rogue bomb 
if someone mentioned it.

Our voices dragged
like anchors through an ocean—
low, cold, summoning something
older than...

Bury Me
By Laura Dee
November 13, 2014

It comes and goes, But it's gone tonight
So won't you stop and reimagine me?
I'm giving in cause it feels so right
It comes in waves that we'll never see

The tide is...

This is Us,
my waist too big,
his check too small,
she's not the fairest
of Them all,

We must confess,
This is Ugly,
we are a mess,
the Earth's ungrounded
greatest pest,

But, This is Us,
our only home
to share it well
before its gone,
extracted
refracted
denuded
and fracted,
deluded
and...

Let's revisit, reimagine and re-construct the man who will write this poem. Begin from the start, the dark past, the battles that were fought on my own. Though only recently and from this moment on...

In halls once filled with promise bright,
A shadow creeps and dims learning's light.
Reform, a word with noble aim,
Now, threatens all in education's name.

Standardized tests, a rigid cage,
Confine young minds upon the page.
Creativity withers on the...

Switching from satanic to death magic is difficult,
Between the two the sense of honor becomes hope,
As death magic happens without manifesting,
The energy we use to think as muscle,
Satanic tensing,
Imaginative muscle from infinite potential,
And to allow...

On sunny days walk beneath the aesthetic pine trees
that gently undulate in the tepid Roman breeze,
their image is reflected in the Tiberius' flowing water;
majestic is the Colosseum, the mighty power of Rome,
it has withstood time,...

Right foot into this little dimple that you can toe in on aggressively so it’s opposing the left hand, then you can, like, zag over across to this flat, down-pulling crimp that’s small but you...

Inspired by:
Wanderer above the Sea of Fog
Painting by Caspar David Friedrich
(Viewing painting will help make sense of poem)

There is no view of which to speak
Do I concede to this defeat
The crushing fact closes my throat...

Words
Are not sufficient to express
The devastation waves that crashes
Into a dead wish

Exhaustion
Engulf the body of cocooning tiredness
To sprawl upon hard cold surfaces
Reimagine arms around

Cognizane
The lack thereof 
Or rather the insufficient energy
Of helplessness wailing

Heat
The boilover pits...

Its your B’day,
Time to be Happy & gay.
Put on that lovely smile & walk that extra mile!
After all the cakes you bake,
The calorie counter is at stake!

Lay down the boots, drop the shoulder.
Take rest, let...

it's how we cast shadows
our scattered pieces that stick in your throat 
or mellow you out on inhalation 

but tell me, how gently will you hold me -
now I'm laid bare?

I don't know anymore 
if...

At dawn beyond my restless sleep,

With mental arms in memory, 

I strain to pick them, sort them, rearrange

Replace the few, that turned to weeds

Rewind, review, and make them new

Old promises and rendezvous I keep

While dew...

Adam’s Garden yeilds a tree
Grown from the roots of Hell
Rare Forbidden fragrant fruit 
On golden branches; Rapture fell
But Adam stepped one fig away
From Satan’s dying Curse
This world remained a Paradise 
And Eve escaped the pain...

Great poetry requires
finesse and rhyme,
this impatient poetess
gives it her time.

Poetry needs heart
and soul and tears,
I showed you what
was hidden for years.

Poetry requires thoughts
running free on the page,
you were the key
that unlocked my cage.

Poetry has a...

Why can’t you just be evil? Like my mind
wants you to be: Unfaithful, shameful.
I want to hate you! But you’re too kind
and no matter you are always thankful
of me and my song of desperation
for pain...

Your beauty is componentially clear 
All perfection, from eye to nose to ear
Delicate arrangement, however it's displayed
Russet red lips, in a most delicious shade
An iris coloured ethereal blue
I'm reduced to pieces looking at you
I close...
