Short Senselessly Poems

Autumn declines and the Lover falls
Heroes die and duty calls
Martyrs are men who have lost it all
fighting senselessly in political brawls...

Insatiable shadows 
senselessly seeking 
spiritual sainthood.  
Stealing………. 
shiny symbols 
staged senses
swaggering sanities.
Insurmountable sorrow.

an innocent child,
a nineteen-month-old baby,
was senselessly shot;

cold drive-by shooter
killed a cherished little boy--
with a heartless plot

endless tears of pain--
as we remember the love
of this lifeless tot

Driving smoothly
Down the road
Peaceful and free
Nowhere to go
To my right I see
I semi coming closer
No signal if you please
And over he goes
Right in front of me
Just inches away
I steam up senselessly
I burn inside, no way
Did he just do that
Oh, I’m so ticked off...

Mankind is a vicious creature,
senselessly slaughtering its own
flesh and blood.
The Devil,
upon his throne,
laughs and pours
his red wine.
Mother Earth, she does tremble,
from the raging war of Man,
and the violence of their guns.


*Inspired by Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses"...

lay clothes fall, hit the bedroom floor,
as do those indentured servants bound to my chest.
yawning tears puddle, blur optical lenses,
amble senselessly toward the cookies and chips.
denial as blinds open and close near tv set.
chills before wine sets in and cozy socks settle the argument.

Delirious desires cackle
     while spectres whirl
          senselessly 
On oceans' savage sway
     blankets drenched
          delusion
Humane hands, soft
     spoken words
          strengthen
Fickle health, a seesaw
     feeds erratic mind
          with despair

Something old, something blue,
Aged not old, a odd pairing, 
which unfits the mold.
Taste acquiring, 
pungent smell, 
putrid looks, 
uninspiring.
It is the dare that begs one to love it.
One good sense of five ain't too bad,
When you hold your nose, 
close your eyes
and taste it, 
breathlessly,
senselessly,
there's the rub....

Impact on earth
Of our progress
It is leading
The earth in distress.

Our offerings
Natures sufferings
Our cultures
Ending vultures.

Why are we?
So much selfish
Cursing every ocean
Senselessly killing fish.

Are we here to appear
For other species to disappear
This isn't only our planet
Or nature to destroy us in moment.

centered
censored
sequestered
senses senselessly succumbing
overload(ed)
with fear/despair
desperate(ly) casting
thoughts to the wind,
reeling them back in

from where?

they wind up
did they ever begin
to fathom fate

is this life?

put on hold
we hesitate
but minds run on

what if?

it may never come
and we may go...

thrust into
the game of life
no map
no directions
no hand to hold
alone and lost
naïve and always short
wandering and hallucinating
aimlessly senselessly
days to nights
weeks to years
where does it all lead
what does it all mean
the hurt the pain
the illusions
when does it all stop
this hurting those along
our own troubled journey
