Maddening minds

So the song thrush sings his tunes to the darkening sky.
Is it to give thanks to some bird god or just for you and I?

As we watch the evening’s dying light and say goodbye to another day lost in time.
We sleep to give rest to our maddening minds. Then wake to insanely rush through the

Nothings On

Buck off a twenty; should twenty
buckshots mean nineteen too many?
Extinguished abruptly,
with Godspeed so mighty,
effortlessly shattered,
sending molars afar.
So far they say a
shard was found in
the neighbor's yard.

Found someone at the bar.
Didn't want to get in the car.
Pray tell, that didn't get far.
I arrive at the walkway;
I push past a pause, just
I can't stand until
standing right side

Maddening Meter

If my meter were sweeter could I be the star of the show
I struggle with getting it right – I know I’ve a long way to go
I sound out the syllables but where is the stress
Apart from in my brain  - oh I make such a mess


'Foot’ or ‘feet’ aren’t the limbs that I

Maddening Rain

Pitter patter, pitter patter
Telling me that I don’t matter
That the storm clouds will not scatter
Telling me my heart will shatter
Pitter patter, pitter patter

Splish splash, splish splash
Telling me our dreams will clash
That on rocks my love will dash
Telling me my heart he’ll gash
Splish splash, splish splash

Drip drop, drip drop
Telling me my love he’ll swap
That my heart

A Cricket Maddening

twasn’t an absence of belief in
hexes or voodoo ****, 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 &
forcing the writer to rack her brain,
as all she wanted was to keep the
mental
pedal
to the
metal &
yet, nature allows no rest

Maddening

it begins with the red card 
found in the hands of that same being
staring back from the mirrored image &
there lies the rub,
for to look right or left,
to leave the room,
to try & sleep forever,
brings no peace---
the maddening of the mind has already been set forth in
motion---
as questions upon questions
pile up like the foulest garbage

The Maddening Crowd

They say if you're tense
Just picture them naked
You don't feel clued in
Creatively fake it
Reconsider both sides
Look up -don't look down
Mad waters could take you
Crash you up from the sound
And your voice might be lying
Seems your thoughts are too loud
Far away from the quiets's
How you drown out the crowd

Maddening Wheel of Life

Possessed and dispossessed
in the blink of an eye
fresh pain in old wounds
chunks of yesterday's and 
tomorrow's pain
crowds today's vacuum
suffocation and nauseating 
sweat
slowly excites the numb senses
cleverly disguised in false 
colors
bleeding my inner soul
i gather to your selfish whims
but you are blind
you see me through the 
crowd's eye
listen endlessly to my hoarse 
laughter
as i circle mindlessly
round

Maddening Mathematics

Converging forces, volatile and caustic
 Magnetism drew us two poles together
    south on south
Defying physics ,advice, and common sense
  We tempted fate and dove in
    ...in straight jackets
Your unabashed, uninhibited way drove me wild
  Impetuous like a child, I was the toy 
My outspoken, wild, and lively

Maddening Love

In the mouth of madness
Is where I now lie
My comfortably numb sadness
Surrounding like a lullabye,
Such a sickening sweet melody
Just for one moment
I'd like to detach you from me.
I'm tripping up on memories
Still in love with a fantasy
Thought that somewhere in you and I
I could find a we;
But in the end all I had was me.
Here
