Premature Poems - Poems about Premature

I’m decaying prematurely, with a marked efficiency I never utilized in life. Bits of ash float from my mouth each time it opens and my hands mark all I touch with a temporary smudge. I’m going out like a burning star. I can feel it. My friends receive text after text of inane thoughts impossible for anyone to appreciate. They have no value; I’m...

“We are almost there but not quite ~ Not yet graced with spherical sight” ~ quote by poet Intermediate truths whence known, in as seen because we have been to subtler realms denied to most, but it’s not yet wisdom full blown, since karmic slate is not wiped clean, last mile to heaven, yet to coast.

The trouble with aging Is people believe it requires A “growing up” A period of maturation (did I spell that right). I’ve been around for Three quarters of a century With a foot in two millennia And I still think Pharts are Phunny. All my secrets are safe Because I only told them to the dog. I still make carrot and green bean fangs At the supper...

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread I think I love you (I think I love...

A knock, knock from the shadow box rattles raw-boned words that collapse and flail in another scribbled knot that snags in straining throat and slackened mouth.

On hidden shelves they wetly sit...

I had gone to this spot to pray on a mid-afternoon street in the city so busy the cars rarely make time to drive as they sit for hours and hours on end where I got the vague sense of familiarity commonly experienced cloud-watching when you see a single cloud, all alone, way way up in the endless sky you just know is...

Dedicated to the suicides of lost dreams… What is this dream that leaves me with baited breath? Waiting, always waiting for hope unfulfilled, the dark tortuous tunnel just gets longer and longer running and running to catch the light; an elusive firefly always out of grasp. How does the soul spill out its pain to those who don’t understand and minimize, always minimize...

One afternoon, I was sitting alone in the balcony. The colorful flowers were bloomed in our garden, The bees were accumulating honey from flowers to flowers. The magpie was sitting on a tree branch and singing a song from its heart, The butterflies were making sound from the piano. A small bird was searching for food in the bush, It was raising...

A sliver of bright light seeps into the darkness Echo of voices reverberate inside my head I'm in limbo, I can't move Am I alive, am I dead? I don't feel any pain, I don't feel much of anything But there's a sense of dread foreshadowing me, an unease that I can't seem to shake free I want to scream, but I'm disoriented thoroughly My eyes move,...
