You should be an interior
decorator in an insane asylum

your colors don't match
your words don't match

I see your mouth move
but it drones vanilla

BAD PAYEMENTS

as they came as asylum seekers,  they ended  up being  destroyers.

the paintings are real
this is an asylum
scribble
the system is evil
this  life means nothing
next eternity then
nothing will become something

Asylum

In everyday plight
With no sight
of the light
With no sides
that are bright
Deprived of lies
that are white
There would be only one asylum:
Veritas
ad dominandum

walls crawling 
inside out 
Escher etching
fingernail grout
staring at stares
plaid throughout 
plied and played
guts splayed out 

wailing away 
in bars in stout

The Truth: Who Really Writes My Poems

My poems are written by Glen
My two foot three imaginary friend
It was his sister Jane
Who freed us from an asylum in Spain 
Ever since he has performed wonders with a pen

Impromptu

escape

Here lies a true genius Vincent Van Gogh
Severed his left ear why we'll never know
Sight of the swirl stars always drew him dream
Behind asylum bars view morning beam

Trump In An Insane Aslyum

Trump In An Insane Aslyum

Trump is trying to roll in regulations;
Said we are going on more vacations;
Guessing game;
Ideas are lame;
Insane asylum should be with patience's

Young Edward Snowden

Made a mad dash trip to seek asylum

Russians may have thought him lazy

with decisions rash, but never crazy  !

A Dame From Brisbane

A haughty dame from far Brisbane,                                                          Looked on others with sheer disdain,
She spoke in a huff,
Her manner was rough,
She was put in an asylum for the insane.

Seeking an asylum,
A sanctuary to rest.

Unrequited empathy,
Supposing the world is full of hypocrisy;
We’re all guilty of heresy.

Trying to live a legacy;
I’m too bold-too passionate,
To say nothing in the wake of injustice.

Take a left right here, what kind of direction is that? Maybe you mean back up or get off the lawn of this habitat Do you hear that siren It's the boys from the asylum That pyjama attire most certainly will be a match

The Present Revived

Released from the prison
Of the extended word
Verse offered 
Asylum
And a means of escape

Carrying me deep 
To where the future-past  
Hides
All time to mislead
 —as the present conflates

My Souls Asylum

In the middle of the stream
  there rests an island

Where hopes and wishes dock
  just out of reach

At the end of every dream
  my souls asylum

Each memory harbored safe
  —along its beach
