Short Ricocheted Poems

Shiny in confines
ricocheted thoughts tumble on
and emerge as gems....

sunshine at six
lights ricocheted
body being heated
time for bed to fix....

Your threats ricocheted
Inside my head, bullets
Searching  for an exit.
I had them removed
They left a scar, and
Part of me is missing
I want it back....

He tried his best
to destroy it,
Shambhala,
the city in the sky.

No dark one
can touch
what the light 
controls;
so when he
dropped the bomb,
it ricocheted backwards;
sent him into 
a nose dive
to hardened ground.

Darkness will never
conquer the light;
light blinds the eyes
that reject it’s grace;
the dark collects it’s debris
to save face.

Rusted iron crosses 
Bled by ocean spray
Fascism’s fury rages
Churning ruptured remains
Haunted by steel specters
Drenched in frigid light
Waves of ruddy soldiers
Toppling tyranny’s tide
Machine gun masses
Deafening and fortified
Ricocheted cries crawling
Over fleshy speckled mines
Limbs of solidarity 
Buried on foreign shores
Blood brothers of freedom
Veterans of world wars...

That elusive answer
which ricocheted to land
in a bush, throws you in tizzy.
Are you sure, you want 
to hurl more questions ?

This was a qualified Higg’s 
boson, which bowed out
from the race of God’s creation
to become invisible.

A gecko climbs on the wall
shutting the soul. The huge crowd
was pushing the chariot, addressing
the shadows behind the glass. The 
featureless becomes untouchable.

A moon beam glides on the carpet.
Priest will go to sleep.
