Rebooted Poems | Examples

Forget regret, riffs on what ifs

Forget riffs of regrets

But

To the hilt
We tilt to 
Inbuilt lilt
A guilt quilt
Can jilt & wilt 

But

No tiffs with what ifs
Won’t let you fret
Circumspect.. I find
Older you get
Bet..more honest…more kind

Care more..know more
Late bloomer rumour
Embraces candour...humour
Respect velvety vagaries
Traces of reflect

Suspect future’s the tutor
Detect serendipity the suitor
Evolution..glints of revolution
Pip that convoluted New Year’s tip

Genuinely don’t genuflect
No sorrow...deflect hints 
Of mooted rebooted resolution
Suspect Tomorrow might 
Be your best day yet!

Last Riff

Pounding each key
like a Fender Rhodes
the computer bent and wailed
Bits and bytes
of encrypted language
messages derailed

Memory freezes
last chance rebooted
restart zero-sum
The riff uncapped
its printout fading
—typeface on the run

Premium MemberSummer's Chill Anticipations

When I am gone,
in winter's timeless hibernation,
what will you be doing
with this sanctifying place
in time's healing space
refueling mortal rememory?

When you peer here
in summer's eternal play
what could I begin feeling
in such sadly glad sanctifying 
pre-winterizing grace

In spacious golden
compassioned imaginations,
thoughtfully rebuilt 
green cooperative restorations

Softening fear of sacred matriarchal loss
and not enough attention

Anger's trauma scars
replaced with AnthroHope
we might, one day,
receive EarthMother's
health and safe wealth dope
honorable midsummer mention

Fair-weathered
and rich-soiled
divinely humane 
transtheistic rooted 
polyvagal neuro-systemic structure
rebooted

Bilaterally reset
to sacred indigenous Win/Win
summer/winter
anticipating souls.

Premium MemberRiding the Wavelength

Used to be a steady sound of static
Endlessly emitting from my heart
Couldn't find the right station
Honestly didn't know where to start

Itching to open a line of communication
Linking my mind with my body
Time to fine tune the frequency
Ready for a new wavelength to embody

Retooled, recalibrated, and rebooted
Signal now coming in crystal clear
Need to keep my finger on the pulse
To make sure distractions don't interfere

Now that I'm up and running
Let me lend some bandwidth to you
Make sure to attune your antenna
Let’s flip the channel to something new

We all share the same airwaves
Continuously connected through time and space
Try your best to transmit positive vibes
Broadcasting our rediscovered grace

Friends Are Heartbeats

Beneath stars, moon crescent
friends naughty, decent
agreed to meet in an instant
no agenda, no time limit
no titles, no inferiority insult
all candid, all explicit
all soaking in buddy spirit 

Emotions unlocked
Memories rebooted
Serotonin unleashed 
Life battery recharged
Enthusiasm rejuvenated
Bliss Therapy engulfed
Personal grief relegated
Pure joy elevated

Friendship incense burnt
fragrant smoke spiralled 
enveloped stars, moon
stars winked, moon blushed
signalling our re-union 
no less than their constellation
Stars re-aligned, formed pattern
In sky flashed divine visual, a lesson
'Friends are heartbeats, keeps you alive'

New Beginning

Rebooted and reestablished ready to go,
This is a new me and a new season.
No idea what’s waiting for me,
All I know is to fully trust you, 

This is my reset moment,
My perspective has been changed.
I cast my worries by the wayside,
Take them away with the ocean tide.

I’m about to win the lottery,
Claiming all that’s in store for me.
Your word is alive inside of me,
Outcast my fear linked with change. 

Nerves won’t hold me back this lap,
I’m going all out around the track.
I’m preparing for a new journey,
One door closes a new one opens.

Premium MemberToo Rich

The lust of money is the want of power to buy anything
    Or anyone just for fun and toss it in the trash
Poverty escapes you, desires are cheap, love is for a price
   Buy it just because, sell it just for, need it never did
How or why are for lessers, failure is a tax deduction
   Mistakes only a write off, you can never be too rich
Purchase eternity with wealth, control the world
   A conscience exist for the needy, money begat money
The world is your playground, borders are for the poor
   Globalism makes life cheap, technology rules
Boredom is the new sin, shame but a game
   If the day goes bad erase it, with enough money
Tomorrow is but yesterday rebooted.

Higher Callings

Let me take you on a journey
To a place between forth and
Fifth dimension
An empty space 
that leads to hearts
 made of lace 
 but are
as strong as 
 spider silk.
A place where bodies
lie perpendicular
and minds more like
vehicles. Mouths open
and muted as our bodies
are rebooted. Houston
You should see this
The view is so spectacular
using this type of vernacular
Watching my world
unfold before me. 
Indeed, indeed
Enlisting in the Space Force
was a Jedi's destiny.

When Humans Wake Up, Nature Dies

The quiet of the night, is God’s whisper 
Its darkness is our soul’s mirror
There is a renewed intimacy with the earth
As the world rests with peaceful breathes
Insects are hissing and the wind whistling
As nature is quiet to hear us breathing
The dogs are howling, the insects are chirping
The cocks are crowing, as the day is lurking
Then suddenly the night stops whispering
The cocks crow more desperately
Flashing and vibrations, as alarms buzz
I hear the world, I hear the cars
Their screeching tires and screaming sirens
Rumbling heavy automobiles and trains
Rebooted engines at smoking factories
Pacey footsteps heading to their stores
Burning and grinding nature to bareness
Ringtones and beeps, continuously calling us
With all of these sounds we lose awareness
Of the land, water and air, holding us
The sound of the world is nature’s cry 
When humans wake up, nature dies

Don'T Want To See It Ruined

9/14/17


Televisions getting muted
Signals getting lost or boosted

Meanwhile people hooted
Brooded and continually feuded

Was not one to make my drinks diluted
Made me snooze quick or feel rebooted

Having solutions
Handling problems without saying "Houston"

Already proven
Am only human
Not trying to jeopardize the world, because I don't want to see it ruined


Those that were undisputed
At one point or another, got uprooted

Who are you trying to kid
Hating is all that you did

Making sure, I soon win
And that I doom him(them)

Somewhat reclusive
Yet elusive

Not one to make excuses
Or rely on ruses

If you want to be intrusive
Then in the end, the evidence will be inconclusive

Went with and against the blueprints
How I meant to do it
Am one of the truest
With my music

Some folks scrooges
And others stooges

Grandma wore occasional brooches
Mom said boy stop being foolish
And so stupid

Took some cruises
Throwing up Deuces

The Blue Ballad

Burdened waves slow motioned,gently lift tired eyelids-whispers.
Speaks an incomprehensible raspy language to subconscious;
Mind unaware,eyes chained to where blue meets azure.
Mourning waves wailing past sorrows unforgettable.

Scorching sun above witness, time's healing ointment
Calms sloshing, turns to gurgling, frothing & silence.
Waves' heights mark decibels, joy & pain quantified,expressed.
Wisened serene waters meditate,singing soothing hymns
To lone hearts seeking life's meanings in the abstract.

Descending  blanket of darkness muffles frolicking surf.
Agony laden screams, writhing to escape clutch of terrors
Unknown. The blue deepens, murky black leaves sea affected.
Penance of shouting, weeping & sobbing at the altar
Of solitude, fruits into return of pristine innocence.Rebooted.

Burdened waves slow motioned,gently lift tired eyelids-whispers,
Carriers of secret messages,unheard stories & salty tears.
Caressing sleeping ears, rise,rise to the sounds of the sea.
Rise...rise soon for a new Blue Ballad lies in wait.

Another Agenda

Like an accursed 
child            That has 
refused her mother's 
womb peace              We 
hear slogans of agenda  
Dangling in the 
lips                Of our 
rebooted acolytes           Of 
directlionless leaders 
chewing their mouths like 
kolanut lost in a journey of 
an aborted 
marriage                 This 
several seasons like 
abiku,our ears host 
agendas that dumps us in 
regenerated darkness 
while dollars transforms to 
mountains in coded swiss 
bank accounts

Leave It In My...

Hour glass pours so slow, I wonder if the hour knows
I challenge a thought to pass out my mind, and take form through my mouth
Dancing in the beginning of the rush of feeling felt of something new
Drowning when I realized that the colors of paint were still wet and dripping on me
Endless was the craving; wanting for more, less, then yelling to stop
Needing to grasp a legde that I knew I threw myself over

Poundering now, when I look at the mask that just left this face and returned
Leering at this body that has just rebooted it self back to normalcy
All I want is an answer, but the page written has already been torn
Cowardice makes me do the same, but my writing never stops sinking
Erasing it won't make it go away, so I must endure it in my hidden place...

Machine Love

Her beauty's rare,wild yet free
and in me she seems to see it in the same I agree

She inspects my stlye, intercepts my smile
Eyes meet like the sun and the moon causing eclipse

And with those eyes, she watched my Mode,seeing melodys of music flashing love upload
She caresses my tunes, but only in her brain where she keeps important moments in her 
main data frame

I feel Love equal, I respect her desire,feeling her notes in my wires
seeing the flame being the fire I feel Love equal

Her connection was strong I was Love virus 
So she deleted mcAFEE  and let my love enter
Machine Love rebooted up....Hit Ent.


Much Love

Android

I can’t remember everything, I can’t recall my birth
Aimlessly I wonder what my goal is here on earth
The prospects here are wide and vast, I seek my very cause
I’m switched on at the crack of dawn and dusk is when I pause
Deflated and depleted, I ponder then I do
Believe what I was programmed to, replaced by versions new
Existing just for mere research, experiment I am
My life “To let”, “for sale”, “for rent”; in shambles or a sham
Emotions first uploaded or rebooted and erased
Remote controlled with batteries recharged at every phase
Mirrored in an image, then observed through looking glass
My Father and Creator notes down everything that’s passed
Today I conquered obstacles according to the plan
One virus might turn bad to worst within outdated brand
If circuits fry a terminating prospect is abrupt
A live or die for me could mean abort or self-destruct
When all the data’s gathered and my purpose here is lost
The switch will flip, I’ll power down, repaired at extra cost
Core of bone covered with flesh, diverting all suspicion
That I was cloned and molded to a Master’s rendition
