Short Misadventures Poems

through thick
and thin
belly laughs
and tears
adventures 
and misadventures
loyal and true
friends for life

and 
in all 
the chaos
I examined
the good and the bad
and I found the ugly
to have the finest merits
as a blissful soul open to life
ready to seize new misadventures
and laugh aloud on the old avenue...

Icons disintegrate and views
Long looked upon, now
draw their blinds tight 
Against warm air's tattered breath 
Whose crumbling words and sighs are stuffed between folded pages
Where shots ring out and
At the corner rounded
misadventures end...

From a homemade
golden pen you went on
exploring,
the young erotica.
It was a moment of
the funeral, plodding
through the extinct memories
of misadventures.
Time had stood still
on the sea of faces.
The great wall of frozen
dreams brings a chill
in blazing sun of enigma.

A bridge becomes a
derived fossil !

Fun
Laughter
Merriment
Rollicking joy,
Life can be a roller coaster thrilling
ride; or a series of misadventures
Heartaches and pain
Sobs and sighs
and soon
dead.
I
for one
would rather
live this life now,
Nobody knows what tomorrow might bring.

So unapologetic 
not like I could carry all my shame

Here’s to a better future!
one that we’re not in…

I’m tracking patterns through the water system,
a river full of waste 

Where sinking flowers drown in oxygen 
with misadventures taking place 

Exit safely, 
the scarcity complex that is your concentration 

A river full of waste; 
a minefield of ironic expectations...

I am lonely amidst people
deep insatiable longing 
for belonginess roots within
mind is slippery 
at the tentacles of misadventures
on the corollary of jilted love
love of women who gave me the sword
when I gave them sweetness

I am love-thorn
wet in desolation and dried of sensation
across the macabre 
where love was a jostling jamboree
You can’t believe
I am lonely
Even in the city of people...

Listen to poem:

Under a midnight mystic moon
a melancholic marionette
strums a magical mandolin

Its monotone melody humming
smothered by a mythical midsummer mist
lost in a molten moment of madness
he mindlessly meanders giving in to momentum

Moonstruck and morose
he sets his many mellow memories in motion
amazed and mystified
and maybe mad
he searches for meaning
in the matrix of morning
