Short Coasters Poems

Doc says, "no bungee jumping, dear"
What? Can I use your phone to cancel??

No roller coasters either,
Stop the world and let me off!...

Almost just as similarly with tears,
In need of a certain something
Which can bear all of these smears
Of dark inks, as I am colouring....

Riding these roller coasters we would rise; ingenious skies....
Ever tracing as facing daunting time dangling, from it's edge a verse
She would climb ?...

Can you name the Old Time Rock 'n Roll wizards
Elvis, Jerry Lee, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard
And so many more
The Platters & Coasters
Bill Haley, The Big Bopper, Fats, they all glittered...

A bit of everything, 
water slides roller coasters;
Pre wedding trip for lovers 
Splurge? 'Cut the line' park passes;
Running like a kid, pure bliss; 
A photo booth captures us
Orlando is pure magic.

Post-orgasm
pillow talk
is the dullest ecstasy
one can ever
imagine.
 
I do not care
about skydiving
or roller coasters
so long as I can hold
onto this instance
of humanity,
so long as this instance
of humanity
can hold
onto me....

I look
into your
eyes
I'm 
hypnotized

There's
nothing
I can do
only 
succumb
to you

You take me
on the rides
roller coasters
we
climb
and
dive

Together
we survive
and
I look 
into your
eyes
hypnotized

Summer stomps in loud and boisterous, the sound of the ocean and roller coasters.
Fall sneaks in on leaf muffled feet with the soft crackle of campfire.
Winters snows fall quietly, at first, then howl while they stay.
Spring walks in as gentle rains and songs of baby birds...

Mother mad?
Mother mean?
Heck who cares... have ice-cream!

Mother sad?
Mother afraid?
Heck who cares... on softball team!

Mother weary?
Mother depressed?
Heck who cares... roller-coaster scream!

(Still care deep-down and not on softball team and afraid of roller-coasters!)...

Crushing my temples in my hands
I can still harken the echoes following me across the labyrinth,
now louder in one side, now lower in the other.

Roller coasters and horror images come about
along with an incessant hammering like thunder,

muddy ways guard the return
and far beyond the trail, fades itself....

If butterflies are free
We must abolish acrylic 
Boxes
Paper weights and
Tiny bottles with
Tasteless flowers...
Butterfly nets
Picture flames and
Collectors who boast to know
Them all by name.
We must abolish fancy coasters and
Little boys
Who pinch their wings...
Dead butterflies are such
Unseemly things....

Valley with streams
once filled with gold,
now has towns both
new and old
mountains and hills
and flat plains 
curvy roads and 
flat terrains

Old and young  frolic
along in the sands
Ride on trains
or rush down
in roller coasters,
while raising their hands.

For work or fun,
to walk or run,
in sunshine or sun,
California is number one!...

Tense and clacking.

Beautiful scenery.

Ominous yet bright sky.

I don’t brace myself this time.

That just makes my breath hurt more.

I can just…

Pretend to fly.

I can be dizzy and joyful.

Spinning and whirling is just a part of nature.

It will be over someday.

I’ll be dizzy and bubbly,

And chatting and clicking my teeth.

Roller coasters are weird.

And so am I....

I feel like I'm alone.
I feel like I need someone.
I feel like there's a gap in my heart,
That needs to be filled.
Needs to filled with love.
Another part of me.
Something that won't leave me.
Something that makes me happy.
That will always be there for me.
Through ups and downs.
Just like roller coasters.
My heart can't ache anymore.
Please someone help me.
No one should be this empty....

Pain
Confusion
Heartache
The three main emotional roller coasters of loss,
But don’t despair
Because although you’ve loved and lost you still have family
Loving
Caring 
Supportive
These are the three ties that remind you
That no matter what you go through 
No matter how dark the cloud
You always have family beside you
You’ll never be alone
Your family will always be there to show you the silver lining of every cloud...

Loneliness is having to buy
your own calendars and coffee mugs
and talking to a TV talk host
over ice cream and a paper plate.

Loneliness is a heart that roller coasters
through a humdrum day
finding comfort and solace
in the endless umbilical of a twilight road.

Loneliness is an airmail birthday
and a store window Christmas
punctuated by a relentless search
of tabletops and doors.

for the friendly message
that never comes....

It can be a little bit tough,
While skating in the buff,
In the fast lane of the freeway,
You know I need not say,

Especially to me,
When you need your skate key,
So I'd suggest you try first,
To use the service road,
or call a hearse,

A helmet may be wise,
Unless they hit you in your eyes

And please note the word freeways,
Is for the benefit of our left-coasters
Cause that word in N.Y. would daze

There ain't nothin' free in N.Y.,
Just ask any right coast dork....
