irregular around the boundaries 
patchy emotions in play
I remain the keystone

run pell mell amongst the splatter
of irregular raindrops along a prairie road.....

Bad tendency of a bad-habit hobby to get so high,
I find myself overthinking things daily, losing track of time,
To the point my body cycles so irregularly....

RHYTHM

The heart offers a rhythm
Strong beat, medium beat
Its pace both fast and slow
But ideally, rarely irregular
Such as a shock may cause
Until a metronome again...

Like a poisonous
Mushroom sprouting by my ear – 
A carcinoma


(for anyone who doesn't know, a carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that looks like an irregular mole)

plethora of cakes and pies arrive
irregular shapes and forms
works of art
each mother outdoing herself
to show off for her darling children,
teachers week never tasted so great...

This is a blues tune
For your heart’s beat
To coincide with
But the shuffle rhythm is irregular
And your pulse cannot handle it
So, you’re gone for good
Well, I’d say you’ve got the blues...

it's 5:22 pm on a Wednesday evening
it's raining harder than usual 
each drop slamming against my window 
making an irregular thud each time;
mocking my heartbeat whenever 
you say 'i love you'...

Two special guys
Diamonds both
each irregular in a way
One a diamond
rough 'round the edges.
Another a diamond
chipped here and there
but even so
my sons-in law
are precious Gems 
despite the flaw....

Irregular, pulsating beat of my lonely heart pining for you.


My blood pressure rising, heart beating faster, overwhelmed to see you.


Heart murmur erratic, thumps with joy as we are together again....

digits, emojis, abcs
compose a code
an irregular ode
void of literacy

cursive, capitalization, punctuation
go old school
immediate mass communication
has no rule.

how we connect
changes with time
words can’t reflect
your heart and mine...

Giant teeth angrily ripping flesh
Maniacal laughter, internal screaming
Irregular heartbeats 
Insane night terrors 
Paralysis and yet…
Silent screams coming from somewhere

I GOT RHYTHM

The rhythm of a healthy beating heart
Sounds like Lub-Dup, pause, and repeat
But if one is no longer in their prime
It may stagger off into an irregular time
But it’s more than just a lump of meat
The seat of emotions, playing its part

Poetically sees ..
           time images, 
           in  bold mosaics 
of haphazard
          experiences..

scales of time
           in elastic pulses

spontaneous 
         irregular
            
breathed in 
      phenomena

It comes in dreams now,
That which the past should have long ago ended.
The unknow Terror,
something bad will come at any moment.

My screamed words of terror
Wake my son.
I awaken on the edge of panic,
heartbeat irregular.
I tur n on the TV
and try to tune it out....

The natural& the normal,synthetic yet,small scale,regular and the 
irregular, embossed.Illumed in the artificial light .Drawings and legible forms intrique and beguile creating mind-games in memory.
Characature & cartoon avant-garde of the geometric in three dimensional desire....

the order of the iambic pentameter
the logical conception of a piece by Bach 
the irregular voices of free verse
the frenzied wails of latter day Coltrane 
the yin the yang, the shade the sheen
and all the vibrant shades that lie between.

Nevus, dysplastic
Less than fantastic
Asymmetric?
Center line trick
Irregular border
Suggests disorder
Highly colored?
It’s no dullard.
Diameter large?
Time to take charge!
Rapid evolution?
Seek a solution.
See your derm path
For that mole
Before his burrows
Take their toll....

Developing itch
My little nitch
Words 
Thoughtful
Senseless
Irregular
Rythmical

What triggers them?
Each phrase a baby gem.
Clear my throat, swallow the flem.
White seeds transform into a stem
Stem spurts out branches, leaves, flower buds
Blossoming buds like a completed poem....

Verses written with veins,  
On thin, irregular lines, pulsing chambers find,
Growing pains. 

Thirsty for eyes,
As each word, poured from vessels mined,
Surmise.

Alone,
Praise-seeking grind,
Blown.

Verses written with veins, 
As each word, poured from vessels mined,
Blown....

Alone with my thoughts-
My Mind concocts
A thousand, million, billion dots
Connecting through my Brain

Colors spread through the depths of my Head
Then I wondered, "Am I dead?"
For no one ever said-
The Truth could hold such pain!

*An old experimental type piece written on LSD; the rhymes are meant to be irregular (I suppose lol)...
