Short Accelerated Poems

Contents of my mind are accelerated, 
Reading books and becoming educated; 
Pictures seen, 
In my teen, 
And knowledge had been consummated.

Trace of Accelerated Pace

We would have to track down each trace,
Of what they saw at an accelerated pace;
Intend,
No end;
Realized around in a circle had been race.

To the left curved the steep roadway.
She veered right. Any other day
she’d have hesitated.

This time, though, she carried through.
With the ocean in full view,
she accelerated!...

Love is overrated
Coined by this heart accelerated
Today exhilarated, tomorrow sorrow filtered
Emotions exuberant 
Loneliness exonerated 
Time extinguished
Togetherness envisioned
Oh what splendor
This love dreamed...

Adrenaline is brown as excess speed demonstrates
An uncontrollable release of breakfast at an accelerated rate
Don't mean to be gross
But this is pretty close
An enormous expulsion of brownness it also creates ...

I’m waiting out the day
with minimalist hopes
and recycling anxiety.

I’m waiting for the hour
for a smooth transfer of power
or for things to go sour.

I’m waiting for the word
after a period of counting
for freedom’s call
or an accelerated freefall....

EMBODY 

Recruit into the realm of spiritual liberty
Reawaken the knowledge there already 
Locked inside the triple helix
Hidden inside man’s genetics
The modified man

The name of the brand:
The accelerated humanity
On the pivotal brink of breakthrough or insanity...

Ivory bushes bear
accelerated evolution
and abstract incarnations
a reverie reserved as veil
fables too blatant to reveal
crescendos rise within
what remains of
the cityscape's heartbeat
science knows what we fear

Accelerated pulse,
            boiling blood,
              beating heart,
                frantic movement,
                  inflamed soul,
                   crazy head,
                     loose is the beast...
                        human 
                          in love... !...

On metallic wings of hope,
violent noise propels man
through clouds of faith,
through the troposphere
and beyond
in accelerated exploration.

With every pound of thrust,
prayers gain altitude,
and the wonder
of universal forces
is magnified.

In time we'll know
if they've seen
the Eye of God....

                                 Because of his advanced age
                                   the mass was accelerated
                                     with a couple of hours
                            Midnight could wear a wet look dress
                                  - soft sprinkling from above...

Anxious angst acquires accelerated aging
Mindfully meditating master’s molecular malevolence
Dispelling disease dysfunction
Chronically contaminating critical
Thinker thoughts thunderously
Eroding energy engulfing
Harmonious human happiness
Only original opulent oneness
Graduates getting genuine genius gifts......

Someone shot a sloth-
in time-lapse photography
Descending a tree
 with Charlie Chaplin movements
minus mustache,
its tail hooked over its arm like a walking stick

The eye never moved–
like a dancer's in pirouette,
sunlight flashing like a million paparazzi

Overcome by clouds-
a most un-sloth-like creature....

INTERLUDE

woke up today and the rainbow was gone
a need to dissociate and escape felt strong

numerous thoughts spinning out of control
movements accelerated leaving a dust hole

time to slow down withdraw and retreat
from faces all places swiftly pressing delete

sometimes I just climb into 
my mind's hollow tree home
where pointless worries 
are not so overgrown

and poetic words bloom 
in a verbal tree orchard 
and those without a lover's lullaby 
are no longer tortured

where unanswered questions
can easily be contemplated
and the swirling milky way time 
is no longer accelerated...

A desire of a mind noetic
Into ample authors
What hence may be poetic
If soon imagination will enter in
Thus, inspiring set hands off 
Into accelerated motions
Conscious and naissance
As these, now expressions 
Are more to personal words
Then, creating newer realms of reality
Or even more, embellishing
What were once, merely less distinctive worlds...

I am as sick as sinus syndrome
At times as lively as V-fib
Accelerated, polymorphic…
Another temporary blip

then Mobitz II attacks.. times slows
it creeps by like prolonged QT
complete heart block would likely follow..
screw that, I’m back to SVT

It never stops, it’s pretty hopeless
I’m  getting sicker day-by-day
No chance for cure, time to go
Time to succumb to PEA...

What I want to say
Would race across the universe
Unimpeded, unemcumbered, unrestrained
Accelerated by the force acting behind it
By my beloved Newton's second law.

By stars in her eyes
By his heavenly body
By clouds of ideas
And by clusters of dreams
What I would say would travel
Upward, outward, and beyond
Like a comet of words
With a tail of tales
If I could only tell....

Tripped over your intoxication

of a darkly delivered potent punch

flowing in absurd contradictions,

wallowing mid drunkenly exhilarated

gulps of denial's cursed vintage,

swallowing elixir's exhales in a shot glass

engulfing reflection's accelerated fire,

bourgeois Machiavellianism slurs topped

off machinations' idiosyncratic delusions,

'twixt boozy sips of head game’s hungover ego...

no movement
         on its face
             time
            halted

reflection contemplation
      memories hope
      wishes desires
 relaxation nothingness
accelerated perceptions
          whatever

         thank you
these extra unmeasured 
          moments
           before
     the hands move

   the pulse continues
          endless
         together
        until mine
         doesn't...

If leaving you thought
Would make this fool go
You thought it wrong
Like you thought of me 
And if hurting me
You thought would
Make my love low
You just accelerated it more
If never coming back
You thought would make me forget you
You thought it wrong
Just like you did with me
You just made this poor heart
To wait for the love that he’ll never get
And still a proud heart to hold the blame…
The curse 
Or 
The mistake...

Romance is a science:
it’s all about some equation, 
not necessarily based on calculation,
but certainly on chemistry
 (which is a mystery),
strengthened by physics,
particularly by conduction and radiation, 
thereby forming an electromagnetic field,
which facilitates certain biochemical reactions,
setting up and, in turn, accelerated 
by a rhythmic process,
 which may lead to reproduction!

The seagulls rose, dipped and 
banked
In an ageless, timeless 
seashore dance
Caught in a foamy hypnotic 
trance 
Of bubbling pomp and 
circumstance. 

Triangular wings and snow 
white breasts
Skimming rolling, crashing 
crests
A blur of half seen silhouettes
Of madcap, graceful pirouettes.  

But when they catch the 
elusive prize
With accelerated flaps they rise
On a zig zag course for open 
skies
Amid raucous threatening 
throaty cries....

They pierce the unwelcoming night,
perserving eyes that receive nothing 
but an unwholesome darkness,
hot accelerated breath scorches the
freezing air, as it penetrates
in entirety her raffish body while a 
shivering anatomy provokes an age
of innocence, yet a stark awareness
of life’s tribulations, as she tucks in
her scarf, fastens her top button
before impetuously walking off into
the shadows to confront her next trick.

As I lay here on the meadow
Looking at the bright and the ineffable sun
The smell of the meadow,
The Sunshine,
The warm summer breezes,
It reminded me of her,
It reminded me of her love,
Her magical words,
Her magical touch.
My heart accelerated in desperation,
In desperation to ignore the feeling,
But it was too much,
Too many feelings,
Too strong to ignore,
Too strong to forget.
The sunshine will always remind me of her,
For she is the sunshine of my life....
