Remastered Poems | Examples


Premium MemberRemastered

We enter the studio of life with a portion of our album already recorded. Some of the songs we inherit leave us distorted. A number of tunes could have been woven together through a history of heartache. Leaving us to question a trail of mistakes. 

But what if we can rewrite the lyrics to our life’s soundtrack. The words we’d choose could leave us less battered and bruised. Understanding we have a choice to find our own voice. So grab a pen and start jotting down some new lines. The world is awaiting your remastered design.

Premium MemberWhen Silence Speaks

Inelegant, the silence wakes and yawns,
pretending not to notice or to care;
while symphonies of chaos greet the dawn
and ashes of our Banner fill the air.
The few, with vacant visage cry the creeds
~march on with signs remastered from the old
in broths of propaganda where it breeds,
the willingly disposed in boredom's fold.
Onlookers pause and gasp in rapt surprise;
unruly hordes deface the hallowed halls,
like "Kristallnacht" they scare what they despise,
too late for recompense when conscience calls
or quell fallacious lectures as they wreak...
dumbfounded when the fruits of silence speak.

The Padded Soft Cell

"The Padded Soft Cell" 

Here they cover their mirrors
with garlands of poésies
to stop billabong reflections 
pooling through

the inmates 
congratulate each other
walking in slow dervish circles
Boston-two-stepping backwards ecstatic rituals

Anti-clockwise, 
I told them to change channels
when words become mute
and mummify themselves 

in the gadaidja’s 
interminably 
terminally blessed loud 
soapbox sermon music

they b**ched their chomping bits 
about it all for a while
I suggested with a pleasant smile
keep on their side of the shine 

twisting their own twine

regulated patients, 
disgraced and racing 
chasing love, love chasing
all intrepid actors underexposed pacing

sometimes we smile here
within our padded soft cells
if the ghosts we read through walls
entertain us from their wells

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

The Greatest Harp

My pen is like a blues riff,
not always on the note

I bend within the moment,
new feelings reach for hope

A eulogy remastered,
the fire that he fed

The Mojo dancing with the Muse,
Marine Band his to wed

My words to stretch and vibrate,
a blind man theirs to read

They move in tribute off the page,
Sonny’s orphaned reeds

My hand they cease to follow,
as letters wail and slide

While deep in South Chicago
—the greatest harp just died

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

Frightened

Locked firm in place in desolate space so devoid of grace
Sire, looked grim, he was gone without a trace
Earth glistens from heaven's view so high
Like a blue sapphire it shines to open portals when we die

She calls in melancholy overtones up to him, 'spare us!'
'Spare me!' he replies, the spark, blunderbuss erupts
Powerful protection but without due reflection it denies
'Serendipity and karma', her tears tiny salty outcries

Cimmerian dreams and wrong deeds have plastered
A photo so disenchanted, time to make it remastered
Liverpool, Ashtabula, Argyle-socks in winter chill
Life renewed for her and he with such vibrant thrill

Will he be denied again is vibrating universally 
Resounding answer in negative signs catastrophically
May he be within the light he who shall never die
May he be within the right he who shall not lie

The rock is a desolate space, inside we must chisel 
With the master's hand the raw stone and drizzle
Love with the temperance of hate to craft
The Lord's masterpiece, his spiritual raft
Until we too see the sapphire's gleam

Prophet Puzzle

I been running away,  trying to escape
  No matter what dimension I picked
  The truth would hunt its prey
  I love all with all I got but sport no halo

 Because I was meant to see them all
 Before I even let that beast out of me
 I have come to death like breeze In fall
 First time by energy and ice
 I was young so no regrets to vision.

 The second time by water of true death
 My buddy life support for 8 weeks
 One night sick and body's on sides of bed
 White n dark argued of possession but
 Neither took collection

 The last was more a loss of chains
 That retarded the one soul
 By bounds of mans perception
 Of gods creations and essential words
 Verses old. Remastered television
 I'm tired of learning retrofact

 I am relevant to the realm of only eternity
 One word sets of a thousand stories
 Held by all past,  present,  and not new to me
 I see relationship in every single accident
 Of truest evil innamely.

Before all will be known,  shown from innermost
Core of all individual
Learn evil does not live unless you harbour deception
And light does not grow if life is not residual
We walk amongst hell,  for no demons holds heaven
