Short Cemented Poems

His face is so Stern
 if cemented it would crack 
like Humpty Dumpty...

buildings hide sorrow
stones will never protect them 
inside damage first...

I have a secret you don't know
Hiding deep, down below
See me smile and look contented
Now my nappy's been cemented...

Unforgiving cemented ground
Chaotic yearning echos 'round
Breathing seething sour fume
Hollow icebox makeshift tomb...

Dark green leafy arms extend 
To warm my cold cemented frame
Bare to this breathing forest

So much time to spare
But you're cemented by despair
Reliving dark days
Like some groundhog misery,
Stuck till you change your story...

There was a young man from Lancaster
Who tried to do everything faster
He skied off a cliff
Landed on his midriff
And now he’s cemented in plaster...

room with no door
walls melting onto my naked soul
one window - landscape of despair
my feet...
              cemented into the floor...

Hinted Head Was Cemented

Snowman had been cemented;
Head was cracked and dented;
Rather odd,
Said to God,
And Trump should be vetted.

Wall , to his heart 
Was raised in height
That ,She could not
 reach till the sight
When gandered once,
She sliped to recognise,
It is a venture.
Now she persist
Cemented there....

the cold stairs?
the cold hard stairs?
the cold hard concrete stairs?
the cold hard concrete piss stained stairs?
cold concrete stairs above?
cold concrete stairs below?
elevator broke...

kind
thoughtful
uplifting
sharing herself
saying the right things
extremely generous
glad to give time that you need
listening without suggesting
listening without interruption
a lifelong friendship cemented with love...

Tattered lives
Tattered hearts
Tattered homes
Tattered walls

The glue that had perfectly cemented the union had been weaken

Tattered schools
Tattered friends
Tattered careers
Tragic ends

The child's heart is broken....

Reduced to a piece of luggage 
with memories of hanging gardens
zippers split open with grinning, yellow teeth
I surrender my neatly folded heart 
to be confiscated, devoured, and cemented...
by a patrol who cannot border my tears......

Today I am contented 
Got myself the best lotion I ever scented
The sky looks blue today
But my pain will never go away
Even though at times I try real hard 
This test will leave my heart scared 
Today I am contented 
With my heart in a box cemented...

no arms

to break my fall


I wait

hollow-eyed

for sleep


silent sentry

in the jungle night


I lie cemented

in self


counting black holes

in space


where once

there were stars

to wish on

all see white
I see black,

black clouds raining
acid rain
to the ongoing
parade

an invisible pinata
being swung at by all

the mold has cemented

cracks have been filled

"no way out"
says the frightening
clown

his voice echoing between
towers 
shunning all smiles...

Wandering along a lifeless road
cloaked by pashima of  acid night,
a metal sky cuts treetops in half
biting her skin beneath pale stars---

tears rush like nickel-blue of isolation
as feet dig cemented steps
to carry heart's burden
past windows of fading regrets....

Houses
entrenched, mounted
over beaten soil and stones...
Cemented in concrete
 and amazement...
Everything to survive the fight
against the natural ways
and artificial routes...
Everything to offer
  to the lord of the place,
the comfort, the security
from life's misfortunes!...

Life can be so much like a see-saw
one minute it’s down, then it’s up
then so still
empty 

some people sit at the high end
looking at the world from the top

others so weighed down
wish for the other end
Dreaming, feet always
on the ground, pounding pavements
where it’s always
so real
so concrete, cemented
too real...

A flash of lightning
creates shades of trembling light
interacts with shearing pain,
as a fleeting moment
cemented within a grievous mind
a wrench of nostalgia,
a reminder of you
on that fateful day,
where in the unsung meadow
you lay in disheveled jade.

Here in the Sun, Spring is receding
Winter is born in me
Your witchcraft besets me
The cold glazes my eyes
The green glares white
The clouds are cemented
There we are again
Longing for the equinox of our intentions
Pull me forward from this
Push me back into us
Divide me from this discontent
Shake this frost
Warm my bones with a September smile...

Was Not Intended

Was not intended
When my endeavored ended
Rules were amended
Into air blended
Casket cemented
She had consented
Car door was dented
My eyes had glinted
Answer was hinted
Not oriented
I had relented
Vessels were stinted
Ended up suspended
Room was well-vented.

You get to pick out last one you
want for last line. Jim Horn...
