Short Simple Minded Poems

He was simple minded and hearted

From his grandmother's house departed

As he was homeward bound

He got so turned around

Thus ended up back where he started...

It takes a lot of courage.
To make simple minded.
Using up your marriage.
Yet not ever finding.
Something so beautiful. 
And so far away.
Pain is not approachable.
And will make you go INSANE....

Quite philosophical lately, don't understand
Not that brilliant, just a simple minded man
Made an adjustment
Knowledge is abundant
Think I'll travel the country teaching from a van...

The past, present, and future
The beginning and the end (alpha and omega)
The evolution of existence
The thing that the simple minded can not grasp
The perplexity is, that it is the lack of knowledge
Which is proven in the proverbial saying
“What’s in store only time will tell.”...

take away the pain
pull it for my simple minded 
cultural institution
unofficially assassinate 
the view to the deed
give all who know,
a shiny old award of singing 
dripped in federal money 
covered dew 
shape it up 
in lie-berries of congress fruit   
and blend it up 
to taste as euphemistic...

spinning wheel.
round, round.
hypnotizing.
never ending.
your mind bending.
spinning.
the wool turns to yarn.
from big to small.
transforming.
circles over circles
moving.
stand still.
spinning wheel.
simple minded.
complicated.
igneous.
calm the mind.
work the fingers.
smooth thread.
rough ramouillet.
round, round.
spinning wheel....

See lies, a broken promise.
Red skies. Your never coming back.
Forgive me, forsaken.
Can't complain, I had it coming.
Soon to be reunited.
With her body, it's my temple.
Crumbling down. Overpowering.
The simple minded other lovers.
Loaded levels of perception.
Eating off my plate of passion.
Detatched now. Help yourself,
to my unwilling donation....

Simple minded culture.
simple minded me.
simple minds say simple things
so simply speak easy.
simple minded you.
simple minded fights.
simple minds don't watch that tounge
so simply causing strife.
simple minded them.
simple minded now.
simple minds forget their lines
so we simply show them how.
simple minds forget their lines
so we simply
we simply...

The anger is building deep inside,

So much pain is hard to hide,

Dieing inside,

Just me trying to swallow my pride,

Simple minded people here and there,

Wasting my time and my space,

The thought of a razor blade never seemed so right,

Until tonight,

I had never thought of ending it all,

Being ready to fall, 

But not ready to crawl,

Just ready it end it ALL!...

Pretty simple-minded girls are a funny breed.
They say that slippery boys take them for sport
While it’s them that chase the fleetings of greed;
They evade being hurt while it’s their goal to hurt.

The wise chap once hurt must ever stay alert
And dodge the inane schemes of such sly lasses;
He must be wary of the cheeky ladies who pervert
The very rare bonds of love they claim to seek....

I am in stupid love,
a fish out of water
caught by a slimy worm.

Hooked by hunger
and evidently truth,
but this bowl is far too real
to swallow.

My freedom was stolen
and he just laughs
as I swim around
in ridiculous circles,
searching for a knob-less door.

My voice gurgles as I ask him,
Oh simple-minded fisherman,
why'd you go and snag me like that
and what did you keep me for?...

Exhausting my skills
To the tempered, fiber soul
Timeless harmony 
I follow my heartstrings on
Beyond glow of temptation

Path in the forest
Leads to grand open clearing
Obscure light deepens
Birds sing beyond the circle
And flowers praise nature’s heights

Simple minded eyes
Dynamic pleasure moves on
Leans over inside
Heartfelt ties won’t gasp and leave
Not to bring loss, frosty drought

Criticism to the simple-minded 
kills companionship
To the shrewd
it is like pain 
to the body
Simply a caution 
as to unfavourable state of things
And that abrupt attention 
is necessary.

Throw your critic ball warily
against the wall of energies 
As the rebound might 
transform your remaining years
The transformation caused by
the time, skill and energy
invested In bringing to life
the imaginary into existence
While the uninformed views 
point out errors...

I don’t think it’s foolish,
Simple-minded, silly, whimsical,
Naïve, and/or childish
To believe that love is magical.

So-called experts offer
No scientific explanations
That any would prefer.
Love wordlessly defies summation.

You know that I love you,
But that is so hard to quantify;
And I am loved by you--
I don’t need to know a reason why.

Some believe in magic.
Most believe in something up above.
Wouldn’t life be tragic,
If we all stopped believing in love?!...

Her face,
Lipstick smudged on one side,
Lopsided blush,
Loose earring.

Humming a song as she goes,
Slower than it was written,
Squished into one octave,
Simple song, simple minded.

Folding laundry on a Saturday morning,
Watching the other machines and counting down the minutes,
Staring at the rotation of reds and blues.

Returning to an empty home,
Picking up the phone,
Calling her mom in the complex,
Singing the song she’d rehearsed,
Warm giggles,
Heart to heart....

The juries of debauchery; with there jaded little judging’s;
  They leave no room for circumstance; because it’s known they are begrudging
They think they make it real; but real compared to what;
Opinions maybe of some exiles; that circle in a rut.
   A simple minded creature; is the spineless jelly fish;
  But even when avoided, it’s supposed they should exist.
Disappointed and discouraged; the watcher’s walk alone;
They’ve grown to like their solitude; for most out there are drones....
