Ramblings Poems - Poems about Ramblings

The soft clouds of cotton white Wipe away the tears of the earth Absorbing the pain poured and puddled below Swarms of pestilence incubated in muddy melancholic pools of despair From clean, fresh, white fluff, these clouds absorb the real us Aging each one to the salt and pepper gray and musky stench of filth Mop it up Wring it Out Over mountain,...

It’s night. I text my friends. I’m alive. It’s night. They don’t respond, so… It’s night. But it’s a good a time as any to ruin my life. Hmmm. I’d say I’m tired, but I’m not. I’m just… Going downstairs to make 10 sandwiches. I really, really ruined my life. My life! My life? I drop a slice of bread. They will see those texts in the morning. It’s night. I...

Foothills The physics of metaphysics … the part I like the best Where symbols yearn as planets turn —new twigs to build the nest (Dreamsleep: December, 2023) A Picture Imagery and symbols are worth a thousand words Why poetry is lauded but prose routinely heard To paint each word intrinsic as dawn brush strokes the day Each verse leaves time uncanvassed —mortality at bay (Dreamsleep: December, 2023) To Heaven And Back If birds...

This brook in the woods I pass in the winter It babbles and blisters and wanders and splinters In all sorts of directions grinding and winding Turns back in connection then to itself binding Like limbs of a squid with their purpose undid A playground of kids with rules they've rid Not rigid or timid, free flows with no limit Nothing to...

I stroll through life, a passenger in my own body, without aim or purpose My feet touch the ground but there’s no feeling, I’m numb to my senses only my consciousness remains I’m lost on my journey, no path appears before me, though I search tirelessly for the hint of one Days, months, years roll by and I’m...

Talking is exhausting. You see, I can see the future. So I know exactly what they are going to say. But they’re reading my thoughts and trying to counter my premonitions. So we always have arguments that don't make sense. When I’m talking to myself… I can just repeat myself over and over. And be in...

Been outside for too long I still wonder, whats wrong? Can't feel the cold Keep my chest puffed and bold Where were you when it happened? The whole ceiling collapsed It felt like the sky was falling The fact that I had faith is appalling Around you, I felt at home now its as if i am on the roam Praying I don't fall...

Some people think I’m anti human Some believe I really would Free this world of the species If I easily could. We are not the only animals But for what it’s worth We are the only ones Destroying mother earth. Seven days of creation Just to give birth To the scourge Of this earth? I don’t mean to offend But will if needs must To...

I've had to lose myself to madness just to know who I am. Every time less than me comes back. Madness grips hold of me tightly, nearly calming me I'm free from idealistic perceptions of what normal is. I'm free to cry through relentless laughter. I can laugh at the tears staining my face with...

Slap that cocktail shaker Find the right fit and tap that baby together Put a little bit extra in the slap Mind picturing that ass-cheek reverb Colors of spirit and mixers rush together Creating works of art ia what I do Free pouring or percise measuring Slinging beers for the masses Wine stored at proper temperature Grin & Smile as u never really know...

Far I have travelled to a distant moon upon the two isles over land and sea, from the dry in March to the rains in June and fill of the red vat rum and roti. To tread its island sands in timeless change and gaze on peaks and valleys for old sake - El Cerro...

The beckoning sun calls out today To come out and play and be happy With things that sting like fire Scorpions, cinders, and barbed wire I knew such a fence once in the wild Good memories of being a child With scraped knees from bike falls Riding around the city answering calls I miss hearing a phone ringing in my ear I have had...

I'm a little bit crazy Sanity hasn't been found lately Laughing uncontrollably at the unbelievable The chaotic mess in my head is inconceivable Stupid lights my fuse Love tangles my noose Every which way but loose The inmates have control of this Asylum The sugar cookies are already done Lies made from gold Dreams of hands so cold Mind meld of the Vulcan sort Remnants of sense...

I'm giving up the life of lush for that of a lowly pensioner. The wife is too, though to give her her due, I said that I wouldn't mention her. I'm cutting my cloth accordingly, no more hedonistic soirées. Gone are the excesses, hyperbole and stresses of this callow youths former days. Now is the time for quiet reflection, watching...

An apple a day so they say Barn owl hoots throughout the night copper boiler full of Monday’s wash dare one think of paradise? Elite dancers shun the maypole Flowers of purple garlands glisten General’s choir sings ‘Zippity Do Da’ Horrendous world rushes on by. Iris competes with the roses Jerry withdraws to the gym Kilos lost in dramatic confusion Lemons wasted on the slim. Many...
