Short Identities Poems

It’s in quiet
moments of thought that we create
our identities....

Hidden fantasy,

New identities now seen,

Forget who you are....

Tetra Two 2222 is a black hat
Unknown sabotaging the system
Making our identities vulnerable
Hacking tracking & blackmailing.....

I am quieted by the bottle
the one you keep your feelings in
a fume spilling out the top
a mixture of your emotions
lost amongst themselves
forgetting their identities
My problem is yours
in return I inhale the fumes...

~ Limerick Form
                  Political Verse ~


Select leaders based on identities
Beware unprofessional entities
  Ms. Harris does not salute
  V.P. gives respect the boot
But Washington treats her with lenity...

the names we have,
the eyes we own,
the prints we see
God has given us
our identities
in our eyes,
names and prints,
in our hearts
we know this
in our head
we keep it away
when will we 
be wise enough
to know our identity...

As the waters rise and fall,
So will the shells.

As the tides draw out,
So will they return.

As the ocean’s mysteries remain,
So will this enigmatic life.

As the Earth’s waters remain vast,
So will the identities of our souls....

I’ll Have What They’re Having/WBM

They gather – together  - alone
avatars – no identities known
promises blue
OMG – ILU
a video vape – The Game of I-phones

It’s the same form of difference,
each place that I go

Hotel chains and Walmart,
McDonalds that grow 

The downtown’s breed stepfords, 
banks, dollar stores throng

Identities corporate
—our history bygone

Frivolous yet attention seeking,
Astounding yet absurd and going nowhere.
Sensationally pointless.
However, it's deemed cultured.
Instead we need something substantial.
One new medium of expressing our identities.
Not fashion but literature and poetic works....

Confuse a worm with a snake
  Your life it may take

Confuse a snake with a worm
  Your bowels just might squirm

Mistake a rat for a mouse
  Say goodbye to your spouse

Mistake a mouse for a rat

Nature, if it is unknown
is just a cell
even at all scenes
all matters instead
may rest
the soul needs
knowledge, a matter of demand
for without such
all is blindness
in a dark night
only the contrary rules
the day
what I would have been these
people's identities retailer....

Of what you know to be beautiful
never becomes a real thought,

of how you seek it out-
the lessoning of everything combined,

sanctimony as tree's can do when they listen to one another,

serious mistaken identities are just like the reason you came here was to die completely....

big bear carcass
lying in the street
as i smoke my last homemade cigarette;
how can i fix you?

caught between identities
and the pursuit of ease;
i am here
i am now.

smoke tugging at the roots of my throat
with bitter wind burning my fingertips.
be here now,
just be here now.

Am I even real?
Perhaps I'm just a
mannequin 
A statue of many
identities
Just none of her own
Dress me up
Or dress me down
Underneath it
all;nothing is real
But a frail frame
With no good fortune
Take me apart
Tear out my  heart
Shove me in the back
of the closet
Till I'm needed
again.....

Technological advances 
An addiction 
Society has no cure

Social media
Networking human interaction
Many friends, in reality-few 

False identities prevail

The internet
Disguising predators
Or insecurities
Those yearning for acceptance
Or mischief

Fences

This side and

The other side

Inner and outer

Center and edge

Peace and conflict..

These oppositions

Tell the stories

Of lives past and

Present..it is the

Guts of history

And stories that

Seem as identities..

Grand illusions

Which no matter

Are simply Wow......

Kennedy didn’t die in Dallas
And Elvis lives outside of Memphis
You see they got sick of the guff
And took identities that were good enough

So if you see an impersonator in their act
Looking good as a matter of fact
It may be the real deal
Hiding in plain sight comfortably real.

Paving a road of two identities
will anoint figure to stained air

Fabricating a path to completion
will unify abstraction with muse

Engraving a dream into reality
will create bliss in one soul

Carving chaste into immoral clay
will embellish tints of whim and choice

Inventing verity inside of one man
will adjust the balance of all....

lovers holding hands
melding with a sunset
entwine their identities
until all that is is bliss 

how can a poet capture
the sublime effervescence 
radiating love’s myriad hues
gently ever becoming the all

ego dissolves that we evolve
soul catharsis in a chrysalis 
that that never was dies
taking us to new highs

Out in dark they are night
Born through circumstantial tendencies 
With invisibility beneath the dazzling city lights
Callous prizes in social event settings
Drowning identities among one’s own societies 
 Subjugating them to less and less
Characters, out or under our control?
But, when days shall end will we confess?
That their lives we really do not want to know...

I enjoy to people watch
In my mind l write a tale
Surmising the people I’m watching
Envisioning identities and what their life entails

I could sit quietly for hours
Happily sipping my latte
Observing humans and their behaviour
Oblivious to my gaze

So curious about my conclusions
Yet never would l ask
Are you the person I’ve created  
Or am l completely off the mark...

No smart phones,
No worries,
Connecting just to our own identities.
Our voices new and unique melodies,
To the ears of each other heard infrequently.
Finding not only joy in the great things of life,
But also in the little things,
A floral arrangement,
A fireplace,
Good food,
Good company,
Sharing ourselves for just a moment,
of peace.
Before the fray is joined again....

I love how you convert your friends with kisses
Changing their look physically
I love how you affect their identities
You bring out comfortness inside them gently

No matter how bold a color
To soften it always what you do
White, a conqueror that pure
Beware, its power is true

He told me to stop being so unique
That’s like pulling a fish out of water and telling it to breathe
I just live to do what comes most naturally
Why for love must we be told to change our Identities
I’m goofy  I know……………..
It would be worth it if I got you to smile though
Yes 
my heart is exposed to everyone I meet
Some would call me naive
I would be your friend 
When everyone else would leave...
