Short Additions Poems

train with blinking lights
enhancing a christmas tree
delighting children

tiny village
additions every year
dwarfs next to a tree

christmas tree magic
incredible love feeling
best gift ever...

I want you to myself like we're the only two people on earth

Like you're an acquired taste that only I can take

My perfect addiction with no additions made…

p.s. you’re so cute can I just eat you up…...

They have the look, the farcical
Over-fanciful stamp
Of last minute additions; in
Squirrel; cone it clutches.
Or in world-sized expositions
Of a display's re-vamp
Lily-ponded, frog-jumped, for those
Charming little touches....

All the cardinal points 
The Equator line 
the metaphors 
all the comics 
the myths 
souls 
subtractions 
additions 
all the abstractions 
are human creations 
in vain hope 
of fulfilling the infinite empitness 
including 
hope and infinity

Additions and retention,
Achievements and parties,
Blessed and cherished,
Benevolence and empathy,
Chortles and roars,
Diligence and success,
Family and friends,
Fortune and endeavour,
Hale and hearty,
Magnificence and power,
Memories and rerun.

Hey all! Have another year, 
Ecstatic and savoured!...

No one’s perfect
No one’s is angelic
Beautiful in body
but filthy in heart

Fluent in speech yet,
stammerer in action
Metallic in body but
a desert in morals

Shining star in sport
yet a tail in reason
Close to Almighty
but afar from man

Life’s like a computer game
Full of additions and subtractions...

It’s what kids have been doing all day
A dismissive answer to weigh
‘t is also an answer to thanks
And what’s needed for lovers to say
But mostly it’s everything else
almost all of an atom and more

So it’s really not at all
Just space in time
With little additions
A lot of momentum
And  all of us on for the ride...

You can find anything on the internet 

Just take a second to think about that

It’s illegal but it’s there

It’s immoral but it’s there

It’s evil even there

AI disrobed a generation

Algorithm replace love with lust

The great corruptor 

Darkest additions

From the false light of screens

I 
am 
but 
a 
moon
made 
bright 
by 
the 
light
of 
your 
sun.

they tell me that jesus christ
is the messiah the devil is
a liah, playin wit fire youl get
burned, but ive learned to
take life slowly and meditate
on the holy-bible cause youre
liable for youre actions lata
for subtractions you need
additions to youre life cause
strife, is plentiful you gotta
grab the bull, by the horns
and dont let go until you
know its from him:...

ANOTHER YEAR,
Your memories bring tears,
Your memories start to slowly disappear,
You have so many new family additions,
Its hard to keep up with your tradition,
The nicknames you would give,
Stick with us as long as we live,
I only feel numb,
One day my time will come,
Its hard to believe you are gone,
You dying was so wrong,
You are on my mind everyday,
I will love and miss you til my dying day....

My  Personal loneliness   

To much of my personality to content with
The sum of me splattered across these pages
of life
With all its additions,subtractions,and divisions
Some days I'm laid bare
like an open wound
with ragged edges
from my mind
sifting through mental scars
I thought were healed from some time ago
Going through life constantly
changing the bandages
until this screaming pain
now becomes a dull ache
That I can live with...

My brain was once like Velcro;
Each tidbit added stuck
And waited there, accessible
For me to find and pluck.

But all the space got taken;
The Velcro’s been replaced
By ancient masking tape from which
The glue has been erased.

So new additions do not stick
And cannot be retrieved.
Had I been warned when I was young,
I wouldn’t have believed.

Yet all things have their limits
And this, too, goes for the mind.
The more we age, the more we leave
What we once knew behind....
