Nothing Can Be Done Poems

Spectacle

I was not going to go to the party…at all. 
I had no plan for the night. 
I was okay with that. 

My friends would not let me alone. 
They made me dress, and come with them. 
I hated that,...Read More

The creek rise rolled in mixed with fog
Dampness coats shrubs and trees
Morning Doves sing through it all
Yet no sound from the bees

Another bird sings its sweet tune
Can't place its unique name
Though there are Mockingbirds in flight
And house finches almost tame

The...Read More

Who am I to stop you if you resolve to kill yourself?
But before you quit the game, roll the dice one last time.

What have you seen in your life till now?

Did you perceive the sweetness of first love?
Have you kissed...Read More

	
I hear the alarm and I think what? Not already! I have been up and down all night.
My usual pattern, I am used to it in many ways, because nighttime is my quiet, creative, thinking time.
I started fully enjoying the...Read More

Let the day begin with just a little bit of hope
Let the hope begin to grow, so every time you grope or struggle
Confidence is yours, and doubt is only for a dope
A tug'll open all the doors of life with...Read More

Tricks of my mind...
More intricate than a spider's web. 
Consume me,  use me,  then leave me to wonder-
When will I be me?
The person I was meant to be... 
No medicine can set me free, 
Free of chains that...Read More

She’s got moves like a dancer
out there on the floor,
she screams like a banshee
and sleeps like a whore,
you’ll have no defense once
her sweet lies are deployed.
She’s got eyes that terrify
and electrical touch,
she’ll take what you give her,
then give back too...Read More

VIRTUAL FRIENDS
be proud… and suffer
hate… and you will burn in hell
repent and save the world

True friends in life, not family, who are of course the best. No, friends on the other side of the fence, the ones you learn to...Read More

The passing of a friend approaches,
One who's long been near my heart.
Incurable!  No treatment options.
I'm heartsick nothing can be done.

Once white, now gray as death's cold skin,
Threadbare, failing fabric sags,
Elastic hangs down like a fringe,
Helpless threads are no support.

I...Read More

Darkness falls around me 
Vision cloudy I can't see
This is  nightmare can't be
 leave me lost & lonely
Waited eternity to meet
knocked me off my feet 
Baby Don't let me go
Comfort I love you so
Together dream of us two
Our goal to...Read More

Tears cannot wash my sadness away
mourning memories of yesterday.
And yet today nothing can be done
so tomorrow seeks a cleansing sun.

Falling in love’s a lesson in trust
for passion’s often fueled by lust.
And lately I'm feeling led astray
by the sexual games that...Read More

~It Is Time~
(The Monotetra)


Time just arrives, and time just goes
And leaves right under our noses
Time is made of, all memories
And it just flows, and it just flows

There is no time for us to lose
With time we can never presume
Time brings...Read More

a stone's thrown to a hill may be big or small 
no casualty can be there after hitting 
a lion attacks a deer flays with his claws 
helpless deer nothing can be done
a stronger bad ruins a weaker good
he's nothing...Read More

Avalanches

They have  no enemy  

Not an ounce of bloodlust

No regret

No discrimination between evening

Day

Night 

Neither the sun nor the moon


And yet they are so reckless

The nameless mountain, that frightful thing

So quick to pulverise the living

No reaction to the brooding...Read More

High tide
 May, warm sunlight, mild breeze and under
a parasol casts a cooling shade.
The hum of insect
A barking dog
White clouds on blue velvet
The peace is restless a sense of danger
the big powers have been banging on their war drums
conditioning us...Read More

We all need to hold on
to something or to someone
left to ourselves we're helpless
on our own nothing can be done

When we have each other
we're stronger and better
each one can get hold
of the other not just by letter

No matter what enemies...Read More

There seems to be an epidemic spreading more and more each day
Although it's not contagious people are dying anyway
It's not heart disease or cancer, Alzheimers or even dope
This disease is caused from thinking there is no hope
The thing I am...Read More

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done
One is tomorrow and the other is yesterday with no reruns
How true, this Dalai Lama quote
Comforting words to keep us afloat
It's not word for word, but today is...Read More

You said that you would wait for me
Despite whom you were with
That you would leave them longing 
And we could finally live.

Yes… I was much younger
And didn’t know what best
And yes I kept this secret…
And played it close to chest

But...Read More

Between conjecture and classification there is
observation, experiment, data (collection and analysis),
statistics, calculus, and a good guess
about God's intentions - probabilities, fractals, chaos and complexity.
This is the thunderous city.

The form of the poem, the rhyme.
 Form cannot be first if you...Read More

Eyes that cry in anguish, 
Uncertain and alone. 
Seeking some solution 
And searching for a home. 

When we used to play as kids, 
In contentment’s warm embrace, 
Was the smile I saw each day 
But a mask upon your face?...Read More

No one cares. Nor understands. 
I am trapped by my own thoughts. 
Never ending torture. 
A whole of never ending darkness.

Everything is just trash!
Your life. Those people who you cherish. 
Everything you've achieved. 
A pile of worthless trash!

What is the...Read More

Looking inside yourself is no east task
things found there aren't too nice
but you can't ignore for ever
ignorance will eventually charge a price

One so alone so often
even in crowds an only one
but have accepted this years ago
so don't feel a need...Read More
