Long Rewired Poems

Damn where is my mind at, striving and finding the best way to adapt,

            Collapsing the conditioning through written raps that never nap,

Smelly Stuff Absorbed 

There are many words for those excrements that appear on the fabric in
incremental solid and deliquescent motions because ingestion fulfils that
autonomous need to shed ablutions but here I declare ‘Waste not Want...

Damn where is my mind at? striving and finding the best way to adapt,
Collapsing the conditioning through written raps that never nap,
Don’t close your eyes, these rhymes defy your beliefs.

Nature and what’s happening, everybody, yes...

Straight rows of soft chairs, larval eyes stare blank
Absorbed by glowing colors on the wall
Their jaws slack, fetid whiff, unwashed and dank
Arrested minds the blue screen does enthrall

Their horticulture, growing docile strains
Indulge the twisted whims...

Was it some kind of a subliminal perception?
Confusing my interpretations of a misconception.
Was it you that pulled an affectionate deception?
Forcing me into a fake deflection.
A maneuver of the circumstance selections.

A ruse, a scheme, a hoodwinked...

Its Hidden Messages in my Texts
worth Examining 
you can see the Chosen from The Strangling

all linked to a prophecy ordained
I've looked through documents for the Author of this Manuscript 
Which is me the...

Soon the sun will glow
Through the east facing blinds
I haven't worked in seven months
Yet I rise every day before him
And write a poem or two
The ceiling fan wobbles
Finches, sparrows and a cooing dove
Greet the dawn
Sweet...

she stood on an empty bucket with a tight noose around her neck

when doubts crept in through a hole in the bottom of the rusty vat

naked she was twisted torn with defeat tattooed into a...

Such a weight, these boulders of depression.
Carrying them has become a useless, sad obsession...
A way to define the core of self, the Inner Being
Only talk of lightening the load, no thought of ever freeing...

A soul's...

It's nothing, the tear can be wiped away
The emotion neatly swept aside today
Discreetly dealt with, it's alright
I cried out my eye colour during my plight
The only indication of my altered state
Don't talk about it, or...

pounding 
grinding 
drilling
sawdust
plumbing scraps
empty boxes 
strewn from 
bedroom to bathroom
and everywhere in between ...
a miner's shanty once
propped up 
on timbers with 
no firm foundation ...
that's okay
jack it up
pour a footer
it has one now
reroofed, rewired, re-plumbed
remodeled...

GREEN GLASS OF SAND IN PAKISTAN
Green glass of sand in Pakistan
The atomic blast denied
Radioactive skeletons
Are buried where they fried
New Mexico has radioactive sand
war time atomic tests
Green sand is...

If you're not seeking love beware of Cupid's arrow
It's magic is far more powerful than a pharaoh
He'll sneak up on you when you least expect it
You won't even notice or feel that arrowhead hit
Feelings will...

Soundware rustles the tree of being
Sending signals through the spine
Ground water morphs into electronic light
Recyled moonlight spreads through sinews

Now we stand
After so many years coursing
Evolving, twisting, bending 
Our canopy sprawls over the horizon
Giving food for...

I left the country from where I was raised
Only to find out my whole life I was a slave.

I walked into a world, shiny and new
Where at first I did not know what to expect...

Meet Me in the Silence

Bleeding call
All my worlds fall
Too much suffering
Painful non-attending
I’m a mess
I’ve failed every test
I couldn’t possibly please you
There is nothing left to hold on to
Amazing grace
Retie every cut shoelace
I keep tripping on...

Used to Fear the night
Hardest time of my fight
When you feel so much
Sometimes you loose touch
Little things get bigger
Silly things that trigger
Your thoughts you fight
Nothing seems right
Getting up so tired
Maybe just need rewired
Darkness even in...

"EXTRA, EXTRA"



the frogs lose themselves on the green and brown colored 
grass.
write enter on places where there is no

find the skull and bones and make them your
remedy,
watch the tears fall from the great Dane as...

I cheated when I went to the electrician school.
I don't know what I'm doing, I am truly a fool.
I always screw up every house that I wire.
When the power is turned on, people scream "Fire!"

I have no limits, I have no end
God brought me life, brought me angel friends
His daily words stir the passions within
I may have lost once, but, not ever again

I have new dreams, and new desires

The first sunny day in a very long time
  My heart is lighter, the world is sublime

  Daisy and Danny are lying asleep nearby
  Their snoring sweet, a canine lullaby

Years of history, failures and mistakes, 
written through the eyes of winners.
What happened to the other side,
the story of the so-called sinners?

We all find peace when truth finds us, 
but not when it has been...

tears race down my cheeks like rain rushes into the creeks
holding back my emotions, seeing past the commotion
reaching out for support, this is truly my last resort
no hands held out to help me, this just...

Brain rewired
The spine of prison rattles
Hearts harden

Hungry dogs
Chomp on the bars and the bones
Of his hope

He is lost
Dreams and fears confirm his tears
Time is gone

Guilty truths
Drizzle down his swollen cheeks
“God, I’m yours. . .

I fell asleep
Dreaming of desire
Inflamed by fire
That love inspired
In decadent attire
Lucidity rewired
Balancing highwires
Frequently supplied

What transpired
between
Glowing sapphires
between
Calling a ceasefire
between 
Raging bonfires
between
A lovers fire
between
Unfolding desires

I fell asleep
Dreaming of desire
Inflamed by fire
That love inspired
In decadent attire
Lucidity rewired
Balancing highwires
