Short Taped Poems

hearts are ripped,
hearts are taped,
heats beat,
hearts met,
but most of all hearts are made....

once a wise monkey named stan
dreamt of becoming a man
so to fool all the rest
taped a note to his chest
my wife use to date tarzan.

Of broken wishes,
like twisted, cracked twigs once green,
we speak in whispers
hoping to graft them to limbs
gently taped, repaired, to bloom....

Taped up the memories
On the blank wall
No life
No color
Just white
But now stung
With emotion
And fervor
Passion littered my mind
While ardor blasted my wall...

Two bags of blue taped
To that square shape you call a head
Promising kindness and a safe profile
Click, click, click 
Is that your heart?
Ticking like a clock waiting to attack!...

God was branded to be non-essential
gamblers and boozers were preferential
the playgrounds were yellow taped 
but no crime had taken place
while cons buffed their 38 specials...

You see, I had this pledge for the New Year
to cut out soda, pasta and beer
so I taped my mouth shut
and away went my gut
now I can see my toes quite clear !!!!!

There once was a Bird named Cher
who's resolution was not to swear
she duct taped her beak
where not a word could leak 
and fluttered her wings in prayer

i tried to escape- my mind not
my body was raped, my mouth
taped shut, veins cut from the
inside, leaking secrets where
i can't find. see my scars? 
burn me out, i shined harder
than stars & it's time for 
me to shoot....

A new teacher whose discipline lacked,
From his pupils was daily attacked.
So he taped to each chair
A sharp tack in despair
And they soon got the point - that's a fact!

I found a picture
Cracked and covered in dust
I found it in a box
Taped tightly shut
I found a few knick-knacks
And fought back tears
I found some supplies
And fixed the photograph

Even in death
Your smile is radiant
Even in death
You give me strength...

Seek me out

Can't keep my eyes open
For someone 
Who taped theirs shut

Won't waste my time

Tell me now
     Before I spend my minutes on you
     Before I get attached
If you're going to close the windows
Lock the doors
     And still expect me to plant you...

Amestecul his name Spiral Tantu
Who wishes my fiance as his wife
Wast makes her stall to marry me.
Her name Allus, she cursed me in
the detail of there romance. She is
nepasator and unkind. I often wait
for the translation of these details,
oh God am I fool? Am I a fool!

Only the things we have lost,
and misplaced still matter.

Hoarders know how the future
looks like an empty room.

Tomorrow is hung together
on old key rings,
our words duct-taped
to a garage microwave oven.

A god you can imagine
adds you as a future thought
to whatever comes next....

The best books have a little
love in them. Whether it be
a taped spine or a
half-creased cover
a forgotten dog-ear or
a few margin-scribbles
a browning of the pages
or perhaps a signature
the more time a book spends
in the company of men
the better it learns how to tug
at their heartstrings....

I’ve lost family, my friends vanished, and love was disillusioned. I fail to remember when I lost myself that is why I carry on with my mouth taped, hands hammered down to this splintered chair, legs tide down like a criminal that I am, before I let you know what you don’t see and mislay you as well. ...

Recorded music - 
running amok in my brain
mirroring my mood
taped, stored, replayed
Running soft, soothing
Turning complicated, confused
angry, worried or afraid
mourning and weeping 
Photographic moments... 
Give up the fight
Unleash the music
Let the demons rage
Let it shatter your heart
Pray the song never ends......

It's over,
Everything.
Placed in boxes,
Taped shut
In neat piles.
Neat and easy,
The way you wanted things to be.
The way that I could never be,
Because I wasn't the easy girl.
I didn't bleed the same way,
I couldn't always smile.
Tarnished silence,
Hardly resolute,
Yet I know.
It's over,
Everything is over....

Don’t memorize things, Einstein said,

if it’s easy to look up instead!

I’ve got taped to my cell

what I still don’t know well:

My own number! Why clutter my head?


This is a true story. From the quote below, I’d say Einstein’s “got my number!”

“Never memorize something that you can look up.”...

I wonder how it feels
as the chalk is erased away
to know that what you mean
is exactly what you say

the words hang thick like cobwebs
heavy in a dusty room
serving as a shelter
protecting like a womb

there's an shadow on the floor
a taped outline of the truth
and what you heard was me
although the point was moot...

It drips red
like the gel from this ink pen
my heart it drips red
ever since the day you left it behind
that broken heart
that is taped back together 
drips red
lost love that causes this heart to shatter
words that were said don't matter
no matter what?
what was the word we said?
forever?
always but never
It drips red...
