Short Numbed Poems

I fall, get up, fall again
Where’s the pain in that
My wife, with a pan, hits my head
Numbed by the nectar in the vat...

Which is that aspect of me
Looming in delusional ennui
Numbed to innate inner sentience
Of bliss outpouring in innocence...

Sing weeping heart of woe
Of something too precious
Never found that sonnet
Numbed this memory
Ensued much sadness
Towards twilight of loss...

it is not someone  to love
nor someone to hate
it lives lost somewhere
in a maze
in a parallel universe
in a strange gaze
in a numbed feeling
in a an eternal wait.

time slip between hands
key to find unknown answers
numbed in the non sense

Louse Minded

 

spinning wildly,

my mind's a madhouse,

 

going into thought

and racing all about

 

nothing's too sane within

the brain of a numbed louse

arctic sunset


numbed by frozen sea

cold streaks ignite molten sky

embers hiss in death

"here's to fears"


when reading this word i said, "mamma mia!!!"
hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia
not numbed by the number for sure
but because of the length of the word
i've got hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia...

I used to like
how you numbed
all the pain
one hit
of your dopamine
and I was 
good to go again.
Now your back
after I've finally
become sober
I missed you 
so much
But God I don't 
want it to
start over.

I miss
your smile
that starts at
your eyes
and ends up
on my lips.

I miss 
your eyes
how they'd 
pull me in 
and capture
my world.

I miss
your voice
the way one
word from you
you numbed 
all the pain.

Sun rises and sun sets
Sun sets and sun rises
Seasons change on time
All species move to and fro
As the earth goes round and round
And I watch...
Cold-eyed I watch
Detached.....
Here but not here
Numbed.....
By my sudden loss...

ECSTASY

to awake
and then to dwell,
pillowed on your breasts,
there to pause awhile..
draped in tenderness..
muffled in love's caress!

NOTE
SEXTET FORM maybe six lines
                     or six lines of reducing numbed of words or syllables per line...

Inertia

Blocked by walls of fear;
 Paralyzed footsteps - can’t breathe;
  Struck by indecision’s stones
   Stuck in time, the soul;

Reason crippled, heartbeats numbed - 
Inertia casts blackest spells.

In a cold dark room
She's seated and sobbed
Sharp pain crushing her
This made her feel numbed
To feel the blood flows

Out of her vein
Together with 
The tears of cry
Of her own sin

It dropped down
Soaked the floor
Followed by

Lifeless
Body,

All....

May be there is something
may be there is a thing
that matters and heals
may be hopeful and useful
may be designed and crafted
 religious and mundane
may be of some numbed lines and dots
may be homely and loveful
drawing and dreaming
here and there
as anonymous guest?....

Feelings are lost,
And all to what cost?
Wars grow larger outside.

Taste of the smoke,
Gone in one stroke.
Hiding away inside.

And all that I see, 
Is the world before me.
Nothing has settled the dust.

People sent away,
Leaders are enraged.
Escape and run if you must....

How does one convey
a past not meant to last?
How does one explain
a numbed brain?
How can emotions
simply disappear?
Why do we turn against
those we hold dear?
When will our life
as we knew resume?
Back to normal
can we assume?
End the desire
oneself to impale?
Words fail....

Have you fought tedium?
Or allowed it to get you down,
In more battles than one,
It has won,
Spent you,
Like a moon on wane,
Keep fighting it,
With weakened limbs,
And numbed brain,
In the process you are not going to die,
Till the time,
You have finished,
Your allotted grains....

Prostrating just flat,
I felt a strange elation,
the smooth shiny ground felt cold,
on a hot humid afternoon,
and the body had cooled,
my mind had stopped and numbed,
I had only one thought,
that all my life I had fought,
now I had surrendered,
to the ONE,
whom for entire life I had sought....

My brain is scrambled eggs, 
the chaos that occurs within,
slams shells against invisible walls.
 
I live with sickness, 
raging seizures of emotion,
pulling me between a place of darkness,
and the present. 

I dance shapelessly in between.

Empty puppet, 
strings half torn down,
numbed....

BANISHED

autumn evening breezes float
fresh through my bedroom
window

birds twitter dusk messages
in an early sunset 
crescendo

trying to take in something
nothing registers feelings
innuendos

just hollowed echo 
a blandcold numbed 
November

BANISHED

In a forest, a small child plays,
In blissful ingnorece, she plays with the jays.

The pain ahead, she will never know,
If only she never had to grow.

These are the days the world was perfect,
Before her world, cruelty, affects.

Heartache and sorrow are yet to come,
The joy in her heart will soon be numbed....

O' white clouds
You are my words of numbed soul
Flying on the sky without crying
Writing on that blue print
thousands untold stories of earth
and making it black- black clouds
on the depth chest of dark blue
and shedding as the crystal pearl 
on red-blue-white water lily

The first of December 
the weather was dreary 
the clouds hung lifeless
a muted grey filled the sky
snowflakes dropped slowly
in a straight  free fall
stillness in the breeze
coldness gripped the air
pinched the nostrils
numbed the cheeks
winter had truly arrived
thoughts of summer
lay heavily on the mind....
