Short Adjourned Poems

The court room adjourned
No new evidence was learned
Taken thence and burned

His wry epitaphs
    gave us many laughs

  Now Milt has returned
    heaven's court, adjourned

At dawn when yo blazed my heart to boil,
love shrived up our hearts like leaves blown to fall on each other,
like adjourned twins glued to quiver for each other,
we burn love sacrifice in our paradise garden...

Two virgin lovers, now have learned
A lesson they wish they had spurned
Of the birds and the bees
His poor carpet burnt knees
Next time, to the bed they adjourned

If only Autumn 
could relent its teeth
like a furnace burning bright
it celebrates the dearth
of confidence
like friends lost at sea
It claims lost souls
spindle wood
you've pawned our tomorrows
and adjourned our yesterdays...

Are you a sheep cause your body is unbaaaaalievable
That's clever, but I just lost control of junior's arousal
Causing me great concern
The court is adjourned
Methinks the verdict's guilty coz the crime is habitual...

While suspended above reality

This choice I had to make

A few more seconds in slumber

So reluctant I was to awake

I settled for cocooned bliss

To content to be concerned

Oblivion beckoned enticingly

My life was thus adjourned....

birth out in the mist
bright things then have birth
between the beauty and decay
molten lead adjourned

the faithfulness of a century
lies bedridden
the missives continueth

Doom stirs the mosaics of dearth
please do not disturb
the cadence of tomorrow's plan
The butterflies hoover...

The throb of the obeisance is to
   alternate a action of speech at a unset action .
 Yet to breath into a beautiful desire, called Life.
   Not long til the sunrise and the fate is pressed 
to assign the function of meditation or ability.

In the post I received some seeds
Now planted, I've done the deed
In a few weeks they did grow
Blimey they ain't very slow
They're now as tall as some reeds

They now have me a little concerned
Impressed in bloom they've now earned
But what's that sweet smell
It sure ain't no Bluebell 
All previous is totally adjourned...

Remember a face

Here’s to the books that wouldn’t burn
And ideas that refused to be adjourned
To the laughter that is infectious 
And a kiss that is forever precious

Remember a face that you can’t forget
And a rendezvous that is always kept
A whisper you always heard so true
And to the sweet words of I love you.

SUSPENDED

this static quiet...

stagnantly 
fills my space 
silently
the air hangs
dense and muted
my fingers type
numb floating

appendages

rest slightly bent
motionless
hurt dripping off
the tips deferred
now adjourned

another tortured
soul
suspended
in
time

R.I.P.   Scott Weiland

Safely now, 
your heart's arrived,
across the bridge
to the other side

It's beat again
a joyful song,
a dirge no more
as 'twas for too long

The frost retreats,
the warmth's returned
the heat of passion
was but adjourned

The journey's done,
new worlds await
a heart that's freed
now, from it's weight

Note: this is a follow on from my poem 'The bridge'...

Around a table sits
People from different mind sets
Places unseen in the eyes of another
In dreams

Dates pass away
Crumbled calendar
Calling out obligations
Like numbers and letters in a Bingo game

Learn to read
Learn to write
Learn to say please, thank you, good night

Manners
Voted on by committee
The world runs on the back of communities

Agenda approved and adjourned...

Nervously gazing 
Across the table he stared
Watching my silence 

My hunger ceasing, As a Poet's Dozen ordered 
Sipping a glass of wine, Becoming much more forward

Now served our dinner, Filling our mouths blind with food
Emotions much less suppressed, As its body crepted upon our nerves

 Us Two
To which was bliss
Liquid courage approved 
Twisted our tongues without a Kiss
Adjourned...

Fearing the storm we hereafter
Have sadly adjourned;
For the tapestry and
It's symphonies directed to me in three's,
I cannot abstain the thought,
It's touch
Nor it's feel.
Caress it with my adamant hands it harkens back
An age,
Where the mind was conjuring secrets with it's brothers
and it's sisters,
Friends and foes,
Off the glow and it's been undone,
Off-shore 'this where it lays below....

Where do you go
when your war has been won

The enemy vanquished,
the legion’s undone

What do you do
when your purpose is gone

The feelings still burning,
the will to fight strong

Where do you go,
the last battle adjourned

The fields lined in blood,
all caissons returned

As men march in unison,
their rifles unbreeched 

A lone bugle calling
—the dead beyond reach

What have I learned?
Surrounded by nothing but snakes and worms,
And what have I learned?
It don't matter what nobody tell you, they isn't concerned,
See the women are the ones that will burn
And you'll never get all that you've earned,
Don't interrupt me, I speak to the lord,
Heavenly choir, now we are adjourned
Nowhere to go, nowhere to turn
but hey thats life you'll live and you'll learn
I will live by my lessons of life, till im six feet deep or stuck in the urn....

I am disappearing,
Fading into quantum theories;
I’ve got a time travel problem 
And astronomical burns.
Surely I am flying,
But clearly I am dying.
I will never pass 
this test with colors flying.
I don't believe you most the time, 
My goblet tips and spills the wine, 
The sun god rises, but not for I.
You are the world, I am a swine.
Every bridge of mine has burned, 
This is the point of no return -
The court has met and has adjourned,
But I am unconcerned....
