Premium Member The Deep End

Granny has found a new trend
 With unseen waves to contend
 Ironing board skurfing
  And living room surfing
 Granny's gone off the deep end!

Messages To Trump

Several messages to Trump we should send;
Sure seems to be rigid and never will bend;
Atrocious had been,
Again and again;
Does need to go and jump off the deep end.

Stop

Another car passes
Water in the distance
Some frozen over for winter
Others still open icy water
A bridge
The water's edge
So close yet so far
Adrenaline races and my mind picks up the pace
Stop
Stop
Stop
My inner mind echos
I can't stop
I'm like dynamite lit from both ends
Help me
Stop me
It doesn't work
I dive off the deep end
In an instant
I'm gone.

Some Girl

Sure that she was a real pearl,
Many calls, always no answer, 
Would have sung in the streets for her!
Would have jumped off a bridge for her.

Guess not really in love,
Or just not into me sick of, 
Erasing  my effusive calls,
Or yet again too much schmalz.

well that's the very sad end
Of my going off the deep end
For some girl I soon forgot,
Wish could say was distraught!

Desert Poem

Desert Poem 
Always chasing the wind  
Sweet sound soothing violin 
Air dry, subdued quiet room 
Poetic drift embrace gloom 
Paper waits, ideas bend 
Wrinkled clouds ascended 
Just a small black desk 
Embrace silent voices isolated 
Mind runneth off the deep end 
Desert poem heat index 
Quench a poetic journey 
Nightly shadows with creative scenery 
No validation 
Posted stamp flies freely

What a Crazy World

what a crazy world....
seems as if 
everything 
has gone 
off the deep end
what a crazy world....
seems as if everything 
has gone from bad to 
worse 
what a crazy world....
what is going on 
what is happening 
what is making it happen
what a crazy world....
where has all the common 
sense gone 
where has all the communication 
gone
what a crazy world....
what has happened to 
compromise
what a crazy world....

My girlfriend goes off the deep end

Each night before bed until dawn

Yakety Yak as I lie on my back

Just trying to stifle a yawn

She complains and tries to explain

And still I don't know what to say

Oh what a quandary, her dirty laundry

Keeps piling up higher each day

I implore, can't take anymore

This burden of yakety Yak

I'm really quite bored, so please help me Lord

To get this load off of my back

Premium Member Three Cups To Be Nice

One cup of coffee.
Do I want breakfast?
Not yet. Second cup of coffee maybe.

I am still not pleasant.
I can feel my growly face. 
I had better have a third cup.

If someone speaks to me 
I might go off the deep end.
I am not ready to be sociable or nice yet.

My husband tiptoes in, 
sees my face, 
and turns back around. 

He knows I am still in the “gnawing your legs off”
frame of mind this morning.
He and the dog both read me well.

Premium Member Yee Haw Hot Java

Addicted? Who me?
Could stop any time
One cup a day?
Would do me just fine

Aside from the shakes
Freaking out now and then
Craving that fix
Going off the deep end

Trust me I'm fine
Not being deceitful
Shakes aren't a problem
'Cept threading a needle

But I'll have to admit
Some lives have been ruined
Caffeine's the nemesis
Cut down on the brewin'

Whoever discovered it
Was a downright putz
To cause so much grief
With one li'l ole cup!

Premium Member Will Sleep ever find me?

Isn’t sleep supposed to be restful?
Isn’t sleep supposed to be calm?
Sleep is a time my mind goes off the deep end, replaying like a broken record.
Sleep is a time the panic and anxiety creep in, startling me awake.
Being abruptly awakened by such intense anxiety, feeling nauseous but like you're being choked at the same time.
The alarm doesn’t come fast enough yet too fast all at once. Body and mind still drained.
Will the calm of sleep ever find me?

Calm Frustration

Restless,
Senseless,
What's the way to test this?
Make it
Go away;
Never come another day.
What can I do
For myself?
I need someone to come and help.
What can I do?
I do not have a clue.
Somebody please fix this thing
That I am going through.
I don't know what I did wrong;
This thing was waiting all along.
I started this game,
But I can't win.
I dove off the deep end;
I can't swim.
Something cries inside of me;
Someone come and set it free.
