Short Mull Over Poems

Mull over idea,
its all I have,
and all you got,
toss it,
toast it,
mince it,
grate it,
till it is good,
or proven bad,
then,
smash it,
burn it,
bury it ,
like you never had....

Your eyes mull over my cheekbones in silence.
They have decided something,
these mutiny parts of ours.
If only they could sprout mouths,
tell us what they have found,
then we might not be here -- 
me with the dead skin of my fingers,
you with your brown patches for eyes....

Mind what you find,
End with some more;
Mull over signs,
Observe the score;
Rise to the gaze,
Yes you can see.
Charm can amaze,
Open to be;
Notice a touch,
Note a fine feel;
Echoes that nudge,
Cheer and goodwill;
Touch of a glimpse,
Sense of a dream.

Book of Matches and Phone Number

If you put a 
book of matches and 
your phone number on a 
slip of 
cardboard (lined and sickly yellow) on 
your mantelshelf in relation to 
each other they’ll 
mull over the 
best way to
stop forever the 
fierce growl of 
animals. And too 
butcher glove stench 
will go.

Mull over stuff,
Yield happy fare;
Sense sure enough,
Time alters cares;
Invite fond think,
Choice unfurls say;
Attend the brink,
Life hazards play.
Work out in kind,
Ink words that speak;
Zoom in and find,
Apt sounds that tick;
Reach with fond glee,
Design set free.

When you continually mull over things
There can be regret in what it brings
Playing it again in your head
Brings back the fresh things to dread

And what you have in the finish
Is something that you want to diminish 
But you can't go back to it again
It is the past leave it alone finished say it and end.

Hurl a fine verse,
Align sure thought;
Reap clear observe,
Mind what heart plots;
Open to truth,
Note a clear field;
Indulge deep proof,
Charm flings fond yields;
Mull over stuff,
Embrace each chime;
Lift joy enough,
Opt succinct rhymes;
Do show what's found,
Yes let soul ground.

Secrets that you want to forever keep
Skulking around in the depths so deep
What subjects are out of your depth
And are uncomfortable in their breadth 

Change the subject then straight away
Keep to the things that promise you'll stay
And when you think it is safe to do so
Mull over then so your smile will not go.

On his worse days he longed for the sweetness of silence
When left alone with time spent in quiet circumstance
For the world sometimes intrudes
Without invitation and being quite rude

Silence that helps me mull over
Times before when I was bolder
And so prepares me to take the next step
So orderly and silence and so well kept.

Have a conversation with me

Without  the scent of last night's 

wine in your breath,

Remove your spectacles of prejudice

before we begin to speak,

Let me not have to

mull over every word

Before they escape my lips,

Respond to my words

not to your screwed up thoughts

about me,

Talk to me 

with your pulse rate below eighty

Pluck not words from my mouth

I never meant to release....

there are so many 
choices in life
that i have a hard time 
trying to decide
do i pick from the left
or take from the right
i could be here all day
well into the night
most of the time
when one comes to mind
i mull over it heavy
then stir it up light
take what's ahead 
before i leave it behind
as i go back and forth
on everyday finds
with so much in life
to try and decide
i really do
have a hard time...

Exhale the pain
Breathe in the joy

Exhale the sadness
Breathe in the laughter

Exhale the hate
Breathe in the love

Exhale the criticism 
Breathe in the complements 

We get both joy and pain
We are surrounded  by sadness and laughter 
We are exposed to hate and love 
We are criticised and complemented

The trick is to cling to the positives
Not to mull over negativity

Like a hatchling from chrysalis,
I'm letting go.
I'm hoping you fly
So I can wish you a fall
great miles away from I.
Until I am worthy;
Love, I accept you free

I have not been the companion.
You, with all efforts to own
No, not love!
Like a prize to be won,
diamonds to possession,
No, not love!
And I never understood it then,
Colossal mull over on
Why I'm still trying!
So, until I deserve you back with me
Love, I set you free....

It’s so easy 
  for me to just say,  
I never wanted you 
  in that special way.

It’s even easier 
  for me to declare,
not once did I ever 
  really truly care.

It’s just as simple 
  to curse you out, 
whenever I have any feelings 
  of my own self doubt.

Trying to control where 
  my mind wanders to, 
but it effortlessly continues 
  to mull over you. 

But the easiest thing 
  for me is to conceal 
how broken my heart is 
  and how I truly feel......

Sitting,
Alone and uninspired
Ruminating on my throne 
Of the tired

Freezing,
My heater, broken and retired
In a building whose condemnation
Remains desired

Searching,
For some deeper, elaborated meaning
To a poem procrastinated 
A cause for my demeaning 

Sulking,
I lack muse and direction
I can only imagine the forthcoming drear
Of this poem’s lection

Drinking,
My hot chocolate keeps me company
As I mull over this poetry
And choose a word that rhymes only subtley...
