Short Bursted Poems

Kaleidoscopic Myths 



That sky is the limit.

Yet star-bursted stories

Will shower galaxies

With deepest mysteries

And dark oceanic

Creatures  and  histories.

Lost balloons
Sunflowers blooms
Groundhog says spring is long
Iris
Daisies and dandelions florist
Sagebrush and Timber weeds 
In the heated desert
Bursted burnt balloon

Broken

Broken hopes,
like tears of  bitter glass.


Broken dreams
like thin ice in spring.


Broken fears
like bare November trees.


Broken dreams
like bursted windows.


Broken hopes of tomorrow
like old tiles of clay.


Broken yesterday's memories 
like antique earthenware.

But who tossed the stone?...

Tongue soaked in tasty red
Painful water; it blots the bed
Vampires are at feast
Doom strikes whoever sucks least

Bursted veins, brawled roars
Shattered windows paving soars
Of beasts; two dead couples lays
Tickling death in its night rays

Hunger exhumes lost appetites 
Like woods to termites
Carcasses left for vultures
It was a night of less surfeit pleasures!...

Gee Whiz
I ate a sandwich made of wurst
with four large beers to quench my thirst
because my clothing was of worsted
I was extremely hot and really thirsted
I drank some more and nearly bursted
I  ran to the john to relieve my pain
I had to wait for I wasn't firsted
when it was free I  hurriedly ran
the whiz came out like heavy rain
after relief I repeated the act
and then went home for another snack

As January starts to slowly unfold
each little bud turns into leaves
and winter is bursted away with
the sun's liquid gold.

The tree's silvery coat turns to a
lovely green and each rebirthed limb
stretches towards the sky's warmth
all lovely and lean.

The spider's web glissens bright 
as the sun bounces off it's
delicate and bueatiful work of
light.

What a wonderful time of year
when all seems new and fresh
and all is dressed in it's season's
best....

Rageth 
HE 
and 
confident 
in 
evil,HE 
that 
is 
so 
simple;HE 
that 
is 
prudent,Looketh 
HE 
well 
to 
His 
going.   
Bursted 
into 
rage 
easily-
HE 
accept 
things 
slightly,HE 
looketh 
to 
things 
critically,His 
crown 
is 
His 
riches.   
Feareth 
not 
God 
in 
doings,BUT 
feareth 
gods 
in 
his 
service,Faithful 
in 
playing 
with 
lies;HE 
that 
buildeth 
his 
house 
wise.   
Wisdom 
or 
folly 
which 
I 
care?...

 The squeezing in your eyes is caused by a door closing elsewhere.
Bursted teen, caught by the spleen.
The color green reminds us of dead worlds.
You will never stop falling.
Aren't questions for the broken?
Yes.
Dr Bandsaw chooses wisely.
Call nine one one, there's no one there.
Total asphyxiation of the soul.
A ruined soup.
Not even you can silence the screaming.
Tell tales of collapsed blood vessels.
Take me home.
After this is over, do it again. ...

You are a sniper
You gave me equations to destroy the future
in pretence I embraced love with fear
just to hide from a dark cloud

I am not a terrorist
with hope in tears flooding my cheeks
I was denied and rejected by family
my grief and sorrow wisdom abode
you made me an orphan in my land
how many are you?

my heart bursted in a cage of furnace
cured with unlimited saliva
I worked super hard for a cent
just to support my best friend
she's now half a score
where have you been?...
