EF5 mind

Hundreds of ideas go through my mind
But never one at a time 
They race through like a tornado 
Sweeping up every idea in its wake 
It throws my train of thought
Derailing every plan 
I try to grab just one 
But they always just slip my hand


She

Thoughts of her rob my slumber.
She burglarizes my rest.
She pervades my life,
into my dreams.
She is the locomotive
derailing my train of thought.
I have no reign over myself.
My infatuation grows daily.
In this I lose control
as I watch my heart wander.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness undercuts the pain 
growing fruit beyond the brain’s 
ability to see in full.....
Spiralling a web of care 
that wipes away  
the hate in fear.  
Binding up a broken soul
forgiveness fills the gaping hole.
Derailing evil from its path,
forgiveness 
lightens up the heart.

Disruption

Lunch with a friend 
Conversation flows
A ring of the phone
Our talking froze

She chooses to answer
I look annoyed
Our time together
Has now been destroyed

I stare at my plate
While being ignored
Five minutes pass
I'm getting bored

Was the call business?
No, just idle chatter
Derailing the mood
For an irrelevant matter

Keeping my calm
An impossible task
a little respect
Is all that I ask

Tethered to tech
Disconnecting us all
Harming a friendship
All over a call

Sugar and Stinger

Her life like a horse
A striping stallion
Breath taking force
Overseen by a falcon

A fickle terrain
And bipolar forecast
Derailing her train
Distorting her past

A thunderous tide
Bellows as it rolls
With enticing eyes
A story unfolds

Gripping the clutch
With her pinky finger 
White candy, her crutch
Soft sugar and stinger

Briskly trotting
A tight rope beneath
Tripping, falling
A pool of grief 

Barely afloat
Gasping for air
Just one more boat
To get here to there
