Short Deconstructing Poems

windowless cages

   heart wrenching

      babes crying, “Papa”

Rusting man
cold even to your own hand
Rust has no sleep or care
about deconstructing
your tired body
Rusting man
carelessly old
you walked miles
in your comfortable
shoes
Now the wind blow
holes in you...

I stand
by the 
water's edge.
I see you 
rise
sword in hand.
you thrust
the blade into me,
deconstructing
everything I am.
I bleed 
for you today
my love
red droplets
color the water 
oh so deep 
But in my death
I notice that you 
don't even weep.

"Knock-Knock!" - Who's there?

"Knock on would!" - Knock on wood who?

"Who the hell would ever knock on wood?!"
"What are ya some kinda unbelievable idgit?!"
"May I offer you a complementary pamphlet?"
"It explains how and why God loves you 
more than anybody else ever could..."...

Oh you peel the rind
from me
in the gentlest manner
and it falls away 
in fleshy strips 
of bitter 
citrine madness
where calloused there
in orange despair 
it wrapped
a fancied ripeness
your agile hands
palming round
separate each wedge 
I’d planned
with a tender tearing
sound 
and in your mouth
I am the sun...

“Underestimated”

Underestimated
the monster inside 
deconstructing data
reforming standards
non-standard calibrations
turning below above inside 

inside above below turning 
calibrations standard -
non standards reforming data 
deconstructing
inside the monster 
underestimated

Syzygy is an alignment of celestial bodies

In the universe of eternity,

They are beings of synchronicity

Transcending aspects of reality,

From a place known to be illusory

And deconstructing into angelic form

And reconciled into unconditional love.

Syzygy is what you are to me

A celestial body of love so intense

We feel as if we are omniscient....

My feelings often
Change mercurially,
From happily smiling
To superficial self-pitying.

My beliefs once
Perplexingly flipped-around,
Deconstructing from certain faith
Into reluctant doubt.

My thoughts always
Lack boundaries,
Ranging from average simplicity
To dramatic philosophy.

My ways of thinking are
Essences of my personality,
Developing from birth
Into metamorphosis of my identity....

"Knock-Knock!" - Who's there?
"Diaphragms!" - Diaphragms who?
"Diaphragms...Don't always seem to work...
...I don't know how else to tell you this...
...So I am just gonna say it 
as politically correct
and incorrectly apolitical 
as I've been reprogrammed to speak
by The Disney Company:
"Luke, I am your sperm donor!"
- I sure hope I don't disappoint you as much 
as George Lucas disappoints God and such..."...

Sublime
I've been shedding snakeskin...
so blind
I've been destroying the noise
my worst enemy

Deconstructing my identity 
soaking shoulder deep
in oceans of humility 
feasting upon fruits of tranquility

breaking shackles  
freeing ankles
from bloody mud puddles 
razor blade anxiety

rising to a  place 
where yesterday 
flees irrelevant 
tomorrow
is insufficient 

Yet
this moment 
of SUBLIMITY
right now...
forever remains
a fearless paradise...

SUBLIME

Sublime
I've been shedding snakeskin...
so blind
I've been destroying the noise
my worst enemy

Deconstructing my identity 
soaking shoulder deep
in oceans of humility 
feasting upon fruits of tranquility

breaking shackles  
freeing ankles
from bloody mud puddles 
razor blade anxiety

rising to a  place 
where yesterday 
flees irrelevant 
tomorrow
is insufficient 

Yet
this moment 
of SUBLIMITY
right now...
forever remains
a fearless paradise...

Forgettable are you
Unforgiving and blue
Cunningly speaking words untrue
Killed my heart so true

Your words said I was your boo
Only I was played like a fool
Understanding a love now I never knew

I always feel I’m a bit askew
My pain you gave to me to accrue

Never wanting not to ensue
Only I must make do
Tearing into the skin like a tattoo

Deconstructing me into nothing new
Overwhelmed by what you put me through
Nothing I’m made in lieu
Everlastingly forgettable are you!...
