Ocular Migraines
I see the wake
of what I look at
objects casting ripples
through the sea
of visual fields
like a boat or Nessy
cutting water
in zig zags
its trail allowing
secrets, coloured
kaleidoscope waves
rips and tears
peep holes no less
an honoured glimpse
into the mechanics
of reality, I hope
nobody up there
gets into trouble
for showing me
things they shouldn’t
how things are working
behind the scenes

Galloping Gop Migraines
Republican governors agree
Solving problems is not meant to be
Just take a peek
At Trump's technique:
And re-direct most maliciously

Chronic Pain, My Old Friend
Good Morning Pain
Another day, Old Friend
Silent and invisible
Besides the cracking of my joints
and the pounding in my head
Every Day You And Me
I've grown tired of the misery
Its easier to sleep you away
At least I can't feel you then
But there you are the next morning
You follow me around
With claws in my shoulders and neck
And

Migraines and Smiley Faces
Put a smile on your face
Walk into the light
Pretend it isn't blinding
Pretend it doesn't hurt
You have a job to do
You have no choice
Do your best to succeed
Don't cry about it
Put a smile on your face
Walk into the light
Pretend it isn't blinding
Pretend it doesn't hurt.

Headaches and Migraines
Will you come with me?
Are you really never going to leave my side?
Or my head as I say
Or maybe even my mind
Dark red
White
Flashes of orange
They are all too bright
Like an explosion in my eyes
Or in the front of my brain
You never leave me alone
Am I going insane?
Why don’t don’t you just go?
Aren't you tired of

Quatrain Migraines
“Your quatrains are giving me migraines”
Think I just heard someone say
Sorry my good friends that's all I know
At the number of forms, I'm amazed
Could branch out, attempt something new
A style artsy fartsy and clever
But I get all sweaty at the thought of failure
So I stick to what I've known forever
This form has always been poetry

Migraines
I always get them, vision blurred,
darkest room, blinds drawn, so absurd!
Family knows to tread lightly,
I'm wound up oh so tightly!
A wet cloth upon my head,
Imitrex is by the bed!
For days I lie there, sometimes asleep,
sometimes so frustrated, I simply weep!
I hate these migraines with a passion,
For more than a decade I have had them!

Migraines
The restless mind needs a break
I wait and seek my tired berate
She slowly climbs into my mind
And cowardly reminds me of her kind
She lights a fire from within her sin
It starts so small and the vision begins
My eyes now shut in pondering stare
My cries now out while I feel her near
The web she weaves into
