Short Decimated Poems

Hurt me and be tolerated;
Hurt mine and be decimated....

  Hittin’ the ‘open road’ was all the fashion
    Became America’s passion

  Decimated by endless repairs – 'under construction'
    not to mention protestors’ abduction

Annihiliated and Decimated

All of our animosity had been annihilated;
Things determined to be disliked decimated;
May be ideal,
But not real;
Sounded like a plan which was prevaricated.

        Dry mouth,
   shallow breathing;
In your dessert mirage
I thought I saw a waterfall;
            Dizzy,
I’m completely decimated;
   It is too hot to care;
   Please wet my lips,
          full tilt....

dogmatic and eristic
prankster trying to trick
enters hypnotic trance
victim of circumstance 
now trapped in dreams
where illusion streams

consciousness agitated
light of Self decimated

yet stillness sets us free...

kick me out i'm a
stray- can't last more
than a day- no
wonder- mother
may i- whispers echoed
-can't keep track-
who is who- stepping
back- all progress 
decimated- blotted blurred
-you're all so aggravated-
can't see in the dark
without my spotlight...

truth though known by clear sight
is not as yet assimilated
slow, slower and slower yet we become
until each illusion is decimated

within this body vessel we adorn
divine magnetism is as yet at play
benign bliss burns slowly exhumes ego
that we shine like a rainbow on a clear day...

I stole a garden hid it from flames,
to try and keep just one thing alive;
Collateral carnage of war games,
a single bloom of evolution won't thrive;

Detonation of everything but peace,
so careless is the nature of war;
Decimated there's nothing to seize 
save P.T.S.D flooding the drugstore....

Beyond all those particular existences
Such illusions of meaningless digressions
from what's humble and noble
Decimated to nothing other than
eternal oblivion
A fallacy to one's own finitude
A pretension to omnipotence
An undue adulation
To such negations 
Of knowing evil by infection...........

Spasms of delight, pervades our form
Searing magnetic bliss
Caress divine, blissful and warm
Peaked joy, nothing amiss

Attention fixated
Ego decimated 
Joyous heart elated

Through day and night
Spasms of delight

Waves crash
Your wrapper crumples
Thrown into the crazy waters
Killing the creatures in the coral
Little by little
Commonly found everywhere
Floating
Caution in the water
With chemicals creeping
Coastline to coastline 
Laced with pollution
Fish collide with waste
Communities and ecosystems
Decimated...

Prophetically sorrowful
A nightmare of a dream
247 passengers inside
No survivors
Broken Wings of a 747
One sad night


Powerfully Invasive
The night the faeries died
Assault rifles issued to the brownies
Who decimated their broken wings
Taking their powers, and then taking them hostage
Sad faeries, hostage wives...

Within the lucid dream, we believed as true,
the villainous character we had assumed
but though it was acting, our actions we rue,
because we are now by it’s darkness consumed.
We have become the demon we created,
which we see now needs to be decimated,
so ego death seems to be the only way,
to reclaim inner light, by ceasing to sway....

Why me?  Alone.
At edge
Of decimated deciduous
Sanctuary destroyed.
I long for boughs
Now taken
Ringed history
Sacrificed
On the altar
Of a paved future.
I am the hope
Of a backyard rope swing
A Robin's nest
A squirrel's sustenance.
I shall ride
The muddy flow
Of unchecked runoff
Sink deep my roots
And grow.

Nebraska has turned herself gray early this year
A desolate cornfield stands torn and disheveled
A cold front comes in from the north
She whips a few strands from the stalks
An anticipatory shiver goes through the field
An empty feeling of winter saturates the ground
Deer have decimated the last few corn kernels
Nebraska winters rival those in Michigan...

Talking about life.

Not about how beautiful it is
or how blessed we are,
not about how crafty it is, 
in jamming its cruel knife.

Simply talking about life.

Not about what a masterstroke it is
or how amazingly it is decimated,
not about our love or spite.

Just talking about life.

Should i be obligated 
or bring about my own knife?

You need more bees
carried on the breeze.
Waves of chemicals
dropped from the sky
has decimated our lives.
No more flowers,
so no more pollen.
It's your own antenna
that has fallen.
Nectar needed on our
legs connot spread.
Stupid human beings,
so blind to seeing
what Earth is needing.
You shall reap what you sow.
Only then will you know.
You need more bees....

Happiness be not created
Happiness be not decimated.
Linger in this world of real
Wherein joy is sought to feel.
Be not stagnant as a placid lake,
But flutter freely for a poor man's take.
Happiness be not in what I do or say.
Happiness be in who I am today.
In darkness where the stars are fading,
I assure you I will still be waiting.
Oh, good happiness, be in me...
Oh, good happiness, set me free....

In 1862, Mexicans were elated
As the French army was decimated
Today is Cinco de Mayo
Tacos—free Pico de gallo!
The Battle of Puebla is celebrated

Emperor Maximillian was fooled
by the Mexicans he thought he ruled
Carlota the Queen, insane
Died in France from her pain
After a firing squad had ensued



Note: The Chapultepec Castle:
Maximilian and Carlota´s Love Story

The snowball’s soft petals strewn on the ground
Rain decimated the white flowering bushes,
Falling throughout the night without a sound
The snowball’s soft petals strewn on the ground.
Like fluffy cotton balls scattered all around
By the soft summer rain’s nightly ambushes,
The snowball’s soft petals strewn on the ground
Rain decimated the white flowering bushes.

I Slept with a Female Mosquito – part V 

Anopheles!  I, take my sanity, gaze at her. 
Evil alter ego and Calvary spar; right in my heart
Crash her, splash her 
Red birthright on the white. 
Yes. A dense dark mark of her red. No – my blood
Yes, my blood and I’ll be glad. 
Walk tall and yell Eureka. Spilt from the bucket! 
Killed a quito dead. She dared touch me at night. 
The demented pest! Decimated. 
Appraised; The PS did it!...

DON'T POLLUTE

Love natures amazing diversity.
Please believe pollution, understanding
It's deadly, possible fatalities!
Don't pollute, recycle infinitely

It's real, important, remembering.
That marine wildflowers' phytoplankton!
And algae respiring, restoration,
The planet's atmosphere recovering!

Sad, untrue, depletion, reality,
Trees' woodland, rainforests, decimated.
Yes unseen pollution, propagating!
Our future becoming impossible....

Our third eye glistens, as we watch
bliss magnetism rise, notch by notch,
until each cell of feeble form 
imbibes these currents, cool and warm,
dancing on our spine’s vertebrae,
the tease divine, playing hopscotch,
God applauding the way we pray.

Poised attention animated,
we become light, as is fated,
doing nothing, save being still,
wonderstruck as voids within fill,
ego cravings, decimated.

Toroidal heart emits love’s scent,
paving way for our soul’s ascent....
