Short Faulty Poems

Mind falling apart
Faulty circuitry to blame
Descent fast, climb slow...

Can you speak of love
when your mouth drips of acid
and you show no love?...

FAULTY WIRING

I
Guard you
Precious child
With bad wirings
Your smile defeats the moon and the sun!...

One more way that I am faulty,
one more time I need to be forgiven;
if you can forgive, god help me,
I can be forgiven; win, win!...

Bobby Aiken was proud to be Scotch.
As a pole-vaulter he was top-notch.
But on one faulty try
he became a soprano guy,
having been poled crack-on in the crotch....

Looking through the glass--
Should be better for us both;
Years later I choke
On tears of a faulty choice;
“I have a mom, it's not you”

misshapen bell-curve 
disproportional distribution
of misconceptions made 
as a result of faulty representations 
within the view point from an underground 
vantage point...

A lady who heard her husband had died
was charged by the police with homicide.
	I’m hoping, she said, it was
	the faulty brakes or the exhaust.
If neither, then the carbon monoxide....

Didn't realize how bad his affliction was
His train left the station, he's got too many flaws
He sure ain't a smartie
His aura is faulty
As well he's probably broken every damn law...

Sunrise

today
 and each early day
heralds recognition
of faulty beliefs
of imagined breakage..
 dawn breaks
erasing misconception
of the emptiness
of what dies
and what does not..
Indeed...!...

Electrocution

My fridge is faulty due to careless kate,
touching it,my blood  is drawn at~ fast rate,
She tries tapping ,but stood still;
we glued firm like welded steel,
Fine posture;~ not for John we would  be late....

Just looked in the mirror and was totally aghast
The mirror must be faulty it's an error unsurpassed
My scale is also to blame
Or not as good as they claim
Something sure seems messed up as I let out a gasp...

A touch too close and a gaze too sincere,
Was the Jenga player about to pull an upset loss? 
Faulty by design, promise and execution 

Does a good love need time to catch its breath? 
Or does it weave long exhales into conversational counterparts?

Within the echo chambers of his mind
distorted voices battle to be heard,
familiar in tone yet undefined;
connections faulty, messages now blurred.

Bias inbuilt, towards beauty 
Gratifying senses
Moments when love is off-duty
Faulty inferences

Each form essence divine
Let’s gently hearts align
Under the oneness sign

The way we tilt
Bias inbuilt

success 
                complete, fruitful 
          meeting, attaining, winning 
   triumphs, achiever, fiasco, nonstarter 
       worsening, defaulting, refusing 
                   faulty, dismal
                        failure

bounty beauty in my many broken places.    

faulty connects in superfluity of nothingness. 

they meddled,

 fondled

and at first twas a cuddle 

but now! 

swords they blaze 

even to my face!. 

sharper than the razor of a blade,    
           
 I have loved flowers that fade...

Past decade decayed in a mist of crimson
Last barricade barraged to escape this prison
The Shades of grey flow through my faulty prism
Light betrays - plain sight - guards march me back to my chasm
Cleaning crew - white suits - red spatter
Leaning cruelly towards me - empty eyes - soulless laughter
No body
Chains hold me
Cold so coldly...

Faulty Perception

I loved your wild curling hair

I loved your gold green eyes

I loved your silly cleft chin

I loved that you loved me

I loved the idea of love

I saw what I thought was damaged

I saw what I thought I could mend

I saw what I thought was you

I saw what I thought was me

I saw what was not there....

Calculating bravery, designing a plan
To conquer fear and rise above it
Emotions running high, sweat on the skin
Genetic alphabets, a faulty concealment
Pulsing circuitry, a universal connection
Astrological bees, preparing for inception
To overstand this world is not to be sane
But to demand respect, with a brush of humane color....

Those who want, to climb the ladder
it’s the ride to the top, that makes them sower

They don’t want, a broken ladder
so they hide and prey, that their lies are under cover

They do want, a big ladder
for more of that power, to stay in their tower

All we want, is a faulty ladder
to tear down their wallpaper, and watch them cower...

Deep are the questions, like quicksand sinking
Seeping into a restless mind pressing
Weeping with release, yet overthinking
Sleep comes uneasy with dreams distressing

Heaps of concepts lead to faulty linking
Steeping upon words without expression
Sheep are miscounted with rapid blinking
Leaping to conclude a wrong impression

There once was a king who would eat
Exclusively things that were sweet.
	His chefs were at fault
	If he tasted salt
So their spicings were very discreet.

On the other hand, there was his queen,
Who favored a sav’ry cuisine.
	She liked her food salty
	Or dishes were faulty;
The cooks were betwixt and between!

it's not unlike 
the fluorescent light in my kitchen
 which is faulty
 it flickers on and off 

that's what it's like just now to write again 

my muse... like Cinderella waking
eyelids fluttering

taking you up hands and embrace
we begin dancing awkwardly together
like candlelight and darkness

 I am the incandescence and you
 the ink...

Unrelenting 
Unrepenting
Disingenuous incensing
Broken promise
Faulty premise
Drunk with grandiose suggesting

All chaotic 
Schizophrenic
Catatonic
Photogenic
Served with Pennyroyal tea
Pinched with acid hydrochloric

I'm the grain of salt that's taken
as my core is always shaken
I refuse to see I'm free
when my gifts return forsaken...
