Short Sedating Poems

Dawn rose sedating,
so calm after such carnage.
Let go, don’t erase....

What the flip was CeeLo Green
Doing on the X Factor looking keen?
In a dress of yellow and pink flowers 
With flaccid, psychedelic powers?

I felt as if I was back in the 60s,
Drifting high with the hippies,
I was sent to planet Zigzag,
In need of a sedating jag....

Trump Is Urinating

On people Trump is urinating
Making them made and contemplating
How could he prepare a perfect plan
That he could Tweet or else scan
Without his supporters many sedating.

I long to feel her hand in mine again
To touch her skin and feel my heart beat thrill
As senses ignore the watery chill
While slowly walking through the summer’s rain
For love has grown from depths of darkest pain
Far gentler than any sedating pill
Is the hand that leads me to climb this hill
To take a chance on loving once again.
Mystery beyond the horizon lies 
As history destiny now defies...

When I got the news, I was devastated. 

So I don’t know why I hesitated. 

To sign the papers that were due. 

When my breath was already blue. 

They were already waiting. 

To take me to the place of sedating. 

To take off the edge.

Between my world and the one I lost. 

I reached out my hand at a cost. 

Because they took it in with their claws made of steel. 

And then all I had to look forward to was another meal....

                   And
	      you  fixed
              its    shaft
 for  how   many  times  now?
Would   this   be    the    last?
                   	     
                          Sedating me
		          with       that

			        

                                 old
		              familiar
                  	    distinctive
		        tread             of 
	                your    absence,
		         a               tear
		            escaped....
