Short Tranquilized Poems

On death row I was somewhat surprised,
once an inmate had been tranquilized,
that when facing death,
and a very last breath,
the lethal needle must be sterilized....

When Enlightenment killed God and  feasted on his grave,
hate grew as strong as love. 
And is there more peace on earth now?
Is there more goodwill to men?
Perhaps we just tranquilized him and he's not dead, just sound sleep.
Sound the bells louder and louder, God's alarm needs an instant resurrection....

you and me
alone here as if heavenly

it's a pacified sea,
tranquilized breeze,
serenade beach

we're on the rosy stalk
face to face
vice verse
each other

the setting sun in your eye mirror,
the nearby green grove in your eye mirror,
the blue sea in your eye mirror,
the whitish cloudy sky in your eye mirror,
and I, the love entangles everything

          lily pads gently, 
              whisper secrets to the breeze, 
                 dragonflies are humming by. 
          frogs begin their song, 
              ripples spread on the water, 
                  twilight's tranquilized chorus.

Below zero in a refrigerator,
I sat in a fetal position,
Trembled like a wet wren,
Yearning to feel the blazing flame of summer.
Teeth chatting with those brain neurons,
Fist clenching, not able to move,
Hypothermia began to set in,
My cells were paralyzed by the monster.
My heart, a sleeping dove,
Silenced and tranquilized,
Each heart beat longed to dance
But the hideous snowflakes forbad it....

Crystallized diamonds, heir,
soothingly embezzled, and coils, 
the heart, 
deeply within your own depth, 
my eyes gaze,  
to be tranquilized,
in burning flame, 
which soars aloud, 
faithfully to become,
its heir of resistance, 
among yours, 
to one day,
Carrie the importance,
of your last name, 
as husband and wife, 
because your kiss, is 
On my list, when I turn,
Out the lights, 
like crystallized;
diamonds heir.........

Hush, Hush my dear child
          stillness wakes as you cry
          silent night the stars fly by
          darkness releases the clouds comply

          Soft winds blowing with quietude
          while your nestled on my chest so tranquilized
          your soft breath gives silence a beatitude
          for my child you are my paradise

          A love of two forever quite serenity.

Listen to poem:

It's tough when father's head is cracked open.
Mother says, "You and I were chosen."
Secrets spill out like a spritzing soda.
My head is warm with that smoldering odor.

Tranquilized but refusing to sleep.
Father jabs the needle deep.
Her images inspire me.
Father races but cannot flee.

Mother stretches far and wide.
Wherever he is, he cannot hide.
I worship a goddess in golden slippers.
"Daddy doesn't understand ... telepathy," she whispers....
