Long Time warp Poems

Like the twelfth
juror in the play
I must say I am not
convinced

And I do not approve
this for Kenya
I will never approve
it, and neither
Would you, dear
friend of...

Only within the neural nets of our brains,
Where dream memories are...

Somewhere, some place on some undetermined...

Not really qualified, just a rancher at that

Caught red handed in a cattle raid

You know, there's always a song that takes me back
To a year, so long before
It's not always a top ten song
That hits my very core
It just grabs me and transports me
Back in time while standing...

The autumn tides had been huge and the currents strong


Mostly the aquamarine ones off track and abandoned

A bit like blue smarties excluded from the...

In 1900
An eerie tragic event
Enjoying a planned picnic
No one knew what was about to impend

Missing: Pieces of Me

SPLINTERED HEART 

like a leg severed, ripped loose:
the phantom limb throbs and aches
knowing yet unwilling, unable to accept
that it's only a ghost playing evil pranks

sitting frozen and paralytic
from the weight, the frightful...

In 1878, a gent carrying a cane,
Walked at 6 o’clock, down Ingleburry Lane,
A cobbled street, parading horses and carts,
Where gas lights are placed fifty yards apart.

In 2019, a gent with a phone
Walked down Ingleburry Lane,...

Quick snap of my heels and through a time warp I fell
To a place that Plato had written about so well
In a lost continent I emerged safe and sound
Gilded architecture and pyramids did surround

Now having...

While walking to my destination..
Headed west as usual..
Continued walking..
quickly turned at a nearby street..
Headed home..

No longer were my familiar surroundings..
Familiar..
Where is my home? 
Did it simply vanish?
Nearby was a massive cherry blossom tree..
Sweet fragrance of...

Time rests, captured, embraced in a spell 
Two strangers search for each other
Through corridors of time diligently seeking 
Encountering interruptions 
Wasting emotions, feigning love
Engaging romances with counterfeit lovers
Uttering superficial, superfluous words of
Promised love and passion
Through...

Midnight hour was approaching. . .
New Jersey forests hugged each 
Side of the lonely highway.
Tired feet and tired bodies 
Rested upon worn leather seats
In the black stretch limousine 
Containing three sage pilots 
And eight stewardesses,...

My family had always told me
About ‘our gift’ since I was a small girl
That allowed us to feel the spiritual,
And see things not of this world

I ignored them until, at the age of sixteen
I’d gone...

As I step on the threshold through a dense cloud of dust
there's a moment I'm swept back,
walking deep into trust

To the arms of a childhood that never grows old
and where the cold of an attic,...

Say goodbye to Pretty Polly
The lass from the Co-op store
She went and joined the Army
And they sent her off to War 
Off to far Afghanistan 
To set the people free

Many constellations have come and gone,
For me to have held such delicacy,
Such fragility.
Attentively I had lend my ear,
Unconditionally shared my thoughts,
Desperately hoping to lessen the tears upon my shoulder.
Without dispute we were one
Possible solution of...

Here I sit, all alone, at night.
I've grown used to the empty feeling
your absence seldom seizes to invite.
And my mind races so rapidly,  its as if its gaining sufficient momentum to take flight.
And you...

I'm not the average stupid mundane broad that's so stupid that I cannot see
That you get a rise and sick pleasure, when you intentionally hurt me
A sociopathic, psychotic, and paranoid-schizophrenic narcissist is all you'll be

Often, I used to daydream about taking time off 
for a few months, and leaving the world behind.
Not going to work five days a week?  I scoff
at the fantasy of ignoring the daily grind.

It makes a heart glad to know 
there are still, small country towns 
like Woodford, where homes 
with large old trees, 
sit scattered between small shops
and local businesses
 
To think the spirit of Elvis exists...
