Short Disordered Poems

A disordered mind,
cut in many directions.
Out into the air....

winter, the poet
sad affections disordered
mourns in the morning
dead butterflies slaughtered by
the blunt blades of butterknives

Why start at the beginning
  and not at the end

Why is reality nothing
  more than pretend

Why are most facts
  at best a mere guess

Your order disordered
  —logic a mess

Reading Beckett
Remembering Beckett 
 My birthday,
Remembering womb.
Language is form
Samuel Anti-form
 I was born.
Disordered form
Broken form
Meaningless movements
Breaking traditions
Remembering Beckett
Born,
I will do....

As a gamble loser, 
Disordered heart, beats now. 
Skin, I feel now tortured and appear, 
As a snake biting blue. 
Oh, I forgot the nature's law 
'' Putting our hands into a snake hole'', 
Death is almost sure. 
Love, sometimes really 
is a venomous snake hole....

Thinking
of you,
of a time
before the blood of grapes,
in tides of red,
erodes
the tombolo*
of us.

Wondering
if the past 
in the future,
flowing over
like a disordered rogue wave,
deposits swashmarks
in the sand of me.

*A bar of sand joining an island to the mainland....

Disordered sheets
     denounce storms of emotions,
     draw loving pictures...
     Or simply mental agitation,
      insomnia...
       However,
       always a poem sprouts...
       Can of love be agreed,
       an eureka elucubration,
       a simply inducer
       for the nonconformity of
       a poet...!...

Black heart of Mordred

I often thought and some times said,
Funnel web, come stomping forward,
“Thoughts rattled round inside my head,
Hairy, steel, black heart, of Mordred,”
The piercing throbbing pain was real,
 No black spider came, my life to steal?

mind disordered....

Sometimes I follow
my negative thoughts, and think
Am I losing you?

I know I'm unsafe
I'll be a catastrophe
I just can't leave you

Lonely lonely me
I can't stand to be apart 
dreading your goodbye

I know I am wrong
as I can't love you without
harmful expression

Somehow you love me
through all of my disorder
I love you for that...

There is not enough time in the day for us 
to understand what we need to
together under one roof we lie and wait
wanton thoughts becomes a balance lost
the top spins faster
Life is now disordered at the highest cost 
A bookshelf empty, all the voices lost
Could it be we are not as brave as we once thought?

Don't grieve yet not all is lost....

The electric daffodils have dimmed now
Orange tulips back their guest arrival,
mechanical stem's,how they glisten
The arcane Robina tree is stet
no leaves this spring
Autumn is a long way off
Borage fills in the gaps
from corner to corner
they cover the ground
The dead eyed roses 
grasp for sunlight
like mad mayhem
they last, in disordered  array...

Show me your days, your cloaked in pain
and l'll show you Jewels,
of Winter's Lanes

Show me your days, of long gone friends
and l'll show you Spring,
it's new born,
that mothers tend

Show me your days, of disordered mind
and l'll show you Summer,
it's Skies,
that's warm
and is kind

Show me your days, that you just cannot cope
and 'll show you Autumn,
it Golds,
renewed in its hope....

I saw a lion hug a man
and thought I saw a turtle cry
If they can have compassion so can I
Feeling lust, rage and elation
sex, hate and sedation
seeing mental patients
with a touch of genius
if God was a man I’d worship Venus
because the world’s disordered
and nature’s a whore
we pay her to feed us
seduction and gore
Sex and violence
my conscience is silent
I want what I want
Sex, hate and compassion....

My stomach twists, 
Empty.
I'll run to forget the pain,
Busy.
Drinking water helps,
Better.
I go home and shower, 
Clean.
My reflection catches my eye,
Fat.
I look away,
Shame.
I flip on the TV.
Bored.
Victoria's Secret ad comes on,
Curious.
Their bodies chiseled into perfection,
Jealous
Tv turned off,
Wishing.
Empty refrigerators will stay,
Almost.
Next workout to burn off more,
Thin.
My stomach wrenches,
Empty....

Life, so hectic, with time we tread, 
Against the clock, we race;
Sometimes behind, sometimes ahead, 
We struggle to keep pace.

We live in fast forward, 
And end up disordered, 
Like a puzzle crossword.

So pathetic,
Life, so hectic.

A future I am trying to contort. 

A future that I demand.

But people are living out their own sanity. 

And not attempting to try to understand the prophecy!

The one I am willing to create out of my imagination. 

The one that feels more lively than the hours that I am losing. 

Why is time out of order?

Why is time so disordered…

The insanity of one. 

Is a nuisance to those who understand. 

That the future blooms naturally....

Burnt by kist…

The burning kiss sets pants on fire,
Soon over come with heat desire,
No rhyme or reason we perspire,
Just takes one burning kiss,

The eyes do lock, no question there,
A first sweet kiss, we tremble, stare,
At once returned, fascination rare,
A heightened state of bliss,

Hold the phone cos we aint here,
Step up to own, yes you my dear,
Brain disordered, mumbling, queer,
Do you remember this,  

Just takes one burning kiss,

Don Johnson...

Battery hens
Caged in and made to try and fit in
Give us a break
Freedom is scarce

The world aghast
Nothing but routine, disordered order and disappointment 

Imagine rain clouds moving past
Pretty for outsiders 
But inside is dark, full of woe

Normal is not normal
Life, unimaginable by workaholics and city goers

Carry on with your day
Amidst the pain
Find joy
Amongst the sorrow and disorientation 

Stay in tact
Let go, but moving on is unnecessary...
