Mistakingly Poems


Premium MemberRooted In Nostalgia

Such happy tears rooted in nostalgia 
locked in the past you can’t see the future;
Mistakingly think you drew your last straw,
such happy tears rooted in nostalgia;
There’s never an end to luck of the draw,
every sunrise a new pearl and oyster; 
Such happy tears rooted in nostalgia.
locked in the past you can’t see the future.

I Know

I know how it feels to be outspokenoutspoken.
Life mistakingly  remembered my confessions and changed old ways those
days these days judged every season's 4ways.
    I know how it feels to be the only sometimes lonely I ask why people 
say they know me 
     I know how it feels to hear promises swore she won't ever leave you 
I know that feeling.
     Patterns never change walked at the same place my everything went from
Laughs smiles now all I get is the same look upon her face weird how you can
Be lost all alone and someone is living breathing and sharing the same space
the world seems so empty today people was with me now against me today
wait! hold up what's the motive.
I know that feeling and I ain't feeling it today.

Safe

Am I...
Safe with you?
Not just physically 
But, that's important too.
But, but, but,
What about when...
The ever-present "they"
Can't understand my appeal?
Or, when another set of "theys"
Can't deal with me being real?
Is it "safe" to believe 
That it's okay to just be me,
Or did you mistakingly believe 
That I'd be something other than 
....just D.?
Am I....
Safe with you?
Will you protect my time?
Will you protect what makes D?
Even when the beat that I march to,
Doesn't match what comes from 
Your drum?
Can I trust you to protect me
Against any and everyone?
With a magnifying glass in hand, 
That's not what I see.
Am I... Safe with you? 
Isn't something that 
I should even have to ask....
But, here I am asking....
And, completely unmasking 
A vulnerability, I suppose. 
But, still I'll ask,
All the while broadcasting my woes.
Am I Safe With You?

Less Than a Letter

i start to hear
the nervous
tapping of
rain fingers
on the roof
above me

thinking
the world
must be
stressed
to cause
such a

thing but then
the ozone has
a hole in its 
head and
not self
inflicted

no one believes
in climate change
and mistakingly
names it global
warmer so don't
bother or worry

but here it is
february and
instead of
soft whispers
of wind blown
snow the rapidity

of the rain's
fingers are 
banging on 
my roof's
typewriter
typing 

a suicide
note

Premium MemberThe Cadence of My Heart

Morning found me on a river bank
basking in the warmth of the sun
I thought of myself as a turtle,  
believing my shell was armor
shielding my heart from everyone

I started to doze in placid tranquility
The sun's sultry breath laving my skin
Then I heard a splash and fear set in
as you swam across the lake to me

Cowardly, I ran. Deeply hidden was I
or so I mistakingly thought
beneath barren branches, I quietly lie
amongst Autumn leaves on forest floor
trying to lull the cadence of my heart

You breached the surface
body glistening in sunlight's splendor
I moved farther into the forest
shivering, not from a chill, but fear
as your treading steps drew near

I closed my eyes but could not dismiss
thoughts surging through my mind
I had no control over any of those
Your hands lifted me from cowering pose
Your lips touched mine in prurient kiss

Not a word did either care to utter
but there was need of none
Mid morning found us basking in the sun
Your sultry breath laving my skin
My heart pulsing,  aflutter

Where Commas Are Needed

you did not
Cupid shoot
an arrow and
as if planned
hit the bull's 
eye of my
heart

you didn't use
curare or any
poisonous
frog's blood
to drug or
make me
fall

in love
but now
my heart
burns with
an ache that
no remedy can
take you away or

ease relief
of acid
not a
flash
back
but like
anti acid

in an opposite
world where
Antacid Man
is a super
hero that
can
do

everything
i wouldn't
do such as
moving and
removing
twisting
and

turning that
which wasn't
shot in his
heart but
his foot
instead
puncturing

him to
mistakingly
not punctuate
"What's this thing
called 
love?"
but

"What's this
thing called love?"
never knowing
what i know
in my
opposite
universe

Premium MemberHardly, a Human Being

Hardly, a Human Being!

Get a hammer and garrote that 
brainchild, 
That demonic smartphone, I propose.
That mutant who seduces you,
With most amorous rings!
Put the sultry siren to rest,
Tune into the real world, as it's
simply the best!

Above all else do not invite family or
best friends over for dinner.
Place the sultry siren on it, next to your 
sweaty palms on the table at dinner,
Then start taking calls, checking messages, 
and avoiding human contact, you dolt!

If you are alone with this devious device,
have at it, play with it, stay up all night!
But never avoid human connection!
Thinking, mistakingly that the human
is less than that interruptive thing?
See...there you go! 
Already?
Like Road Runner racing, entranced by 
ear bling,
Lost to its call~ to her captivating 
insidious ring!

The Steel Jacketed Messenger of Death

The steel jacketed messenger of death!.
Hell:! Professionally proxied in a tube
A shell comfortably seated in a cube
Doors never shut yet you need to knock
...With a finger and not necessarily your fist before it let's go
The steel jacketed messenger of death.

Oh! What a messenger!
 So humble and obidient.
Without a knock, it remains there
Never delivering the message to its master
But to the aim? "The speed of light couldn't be faster"
Still the trusted messenger to still a breath.

You let, it jets,
to the target it gets 
and in its nest its sure to melt.
It never mistakingly slips while on the shelf
But even at sleep, its never mistakingly deaf
To instill bucketed fear in every gender on earth.

Its a toy to a kid, employed by the skilled,
straight to the hit yet indifferent o the killed.
With freight in its sound,
 to hell it is bound 
and the effect is now!
The steel jacketed messenger of death. Is .....A BULLET

I Bet

I bet you don't see the stars in his eyes 
The galaxies that encompass his mind 
The beauty of darkness 
Held within a heart 
That never knew how to love 
I bet you can't comprehend his thoughts that embody black holes 
Lost within the calamity of it all 
But my heart always had his embraced within the grip of my palm 
But it lead astray 
The constellations didn't quite align correctly 
The planets orbited incoherently  
And that path 
Mistakingly lead to you 
So here I am 
Lost within the concept of time and space 
Who fell in love with a star 
That was dead at first sight
