Short Eccentricity Poems

Your undoing my venturing mind
I woke up in a daydream, left behind
I found it eccentric...
But, together, we are epic...

My immediate family overflows with creativity
This passion has kept us forever in captivity
We thrive on it, we do
This passion so true
Sure turns my crank, a slave to eccentricity...

Sex used to be my most favourite activity
Now eating has replaced sex as my favorite proclivity
Sure not by choice
No reason to rejoice
Eating PLUS sex would be my ultimate eccentricity...

A scoundrel slithering all about.
Touting your own horn.
Immoral eccentricity.
Through prisms of false bravado.
A shallow soul.
Skeletons with no depth.
Humanitarian rights violations.
A skirmish of power.
Strong arming the weak.
Wrecked souls landing on the beach....

Read it,
or do not read
the road map.
Something has eaten into your wings.
You will not be able to fly
in the silent valley.

The clay gardens.
You always loved, the eccentricity.
A meltdown
refrains the sequenced
shyness. There will be
no moon tonight.

What peculiar behavior I see.
That’s what is known as an idiosyncrasy.
It is inconsistent with acceptances in society.
Persons who have foibles in life
have actions that can cut like a knife.
Someone with an eccentricity requiring a nudge,
is in no position to decide or judge.

In a constant game of deceit and request.
Where the whistles of steam are dribbling.
Hoots in light of my cynical eccentricity.
Where a reflected area of stars sparkled.
Mirror the perspicuity of my pain.'
There I am, hanging unstably in the air.
I was quashed in a fog of moist regret.

I learn almost 10 years ago that I have a congenital heart defect plus a tumor in the wall of my heart. I now have the third dog dying with heart problems. It is so hard watching them slowly die....

People that are different,
Fascinate me,
I find charm in eccentricity.
Eccentrics seem oblivious,
To others around,
Are they ambiguous?
Or are their minds sound.

Perhaps their way of thinking,
Is their saving grace,
Do they find the world,
Goes at too fast a pass
For the eccentric,
And he and she,
Are searching for a place,
To live in harmony....

I encompass a rebel within
A need for eccentricity 
No trespassing signs don't win
Over my curiosity 

I find it quite appealing 
Sporting a sleeve of paint
Though palms erect, kneeling
I wasn't born a saint

Rules don't suit my fancy
A bit disagreeable 
Guidelines make me antsy
A domesticated bull

Pleasantly off color
A delightful rose with thorns
Smelling of burnt rubber
A bow atop my horns...

Straight forward basic life
complicated by living
Insignificant activities
essential essentials, essentially
I’ll live my way, I’ll die one day

Sanity is the crazy
restraining eccentricity
living in real time eyes
the buffers of real skies
the blinkered genius fries
Reigned creation, monotony motivation

Everyday resignation, imagination stifle
future dreams, behind the everyday
Shoot me -
use my rifle....

ECCENTRICITY IS IN THE AIR  
I DON'T KNOW HOW  
BUT I KNOW IT'S THERE  

ECCENTRICITY IN A CAN? 
I'M NOT SURE MOST 
WOULD UNDERSTAND 

OFTEN REFERRED TO AS AN ODDITY 
IT CAN'T BE BOTTLED 
AND IT'S NOT A COMMODITY 

IDIOSYNCRATIC BEHAVIOR OF MAN 
IT'S NOT REALLY STRANGE 
IF YOU UNDERSTAND 

ECCENTRICITY IS AN ENERGY 
CAPRICIOUS IN NATURE 
AND HARD TO BELIEVE 

CAN'T BE BOUGHT AND OR SOLD 
WE ONLY ACQUIRE 
WHEN WE GROW OLD...

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...

Cosmic mystery trails the midnight sky,
you flare bright, dissolve without a trace;
we who witness you gaze up and sigh,
you leave a look of awe on every face.

Ghostly portent from the mists of time,
aglow with starkly silent icy light;
wonder that dances 'round reason and rhyme,
the stuff of dreams and fancy's fickle flight.

Dawn settles gently on the window sill,
displacing thoughts of stellar eccentricity;
but in our hearts and minds we ponder still 
this sacred, quiet electricity....
