every moment a distinction
unrelated to any status quo
startling fresh and new, unfamiliar
recognizable for its unfathomable choices

Lost

Where does this road go?
Why am I here?
Everything unfamiliar
I think I'm lost
Chaos all over
Comfort a distant memory
Pain is all I find

Restless Thoughts

Afraid of what 
The future might bring
How odd the feeling
Uncertainty brings
Unfamiliar thoughts
Race to & fro
Till they stop
How can I know?

God often makes me walk the unfamiliar path
I go down this road yelling and screaming
fighting what turns out to be the best plan
His plan for my soul

A Poem by Someone Insane

To someone insane:
Hello, I am not insane--
Though--
Ignore I write in English--
Comprehensibly--

I say I am still unfamiliar with such a foreign matter.

Premium Member Unfamiliar Poetry

Words leap from my mind onto a page
I stare at them
Wondering from whence they came
Knowing tomorrow I will not recognize them at all
Or maybe even in an hour

Two Worlds Colliding

Turning to the sky
Something Unfamiliar
Winds brought them over

Friends ran, some greeted
But I prepared for the worst 
In end, I was right

Pickup Lines For Valentine

Love may come from unexpected places 
Between strangers, unfamiliar faces 
Heart is blind, it has no eyes 
Mystic's the flip of dice 
Fate can come with cards of kings and aces
Form: Limerick

My Mom

she kept me
close to her heart
instilling her stare
deep within my eyes
penetrating her warmth
her care
leading me to
unfamiliar spaces
I stand alone
as she
holds me
my mom.

Premium Member In Perspective

latent privacy
emerges into the limelight,
into the unfamiliar:
emptiness
exhaled
anguish abolished
destroyed:
insignificance
dismantled
despatched
to the extremities
of life

Dissociation

I’m on autopilot.
Surrounded by an unfamiliar climate.
I’m on the outside looking in.
Looking down at blurry skin.
It’s possible I could be dead.
I'm Just a small person in my head.

The Way

Oblivious
 to what you see
 to what you hear
Misjudge
 what you do not understand
 what you are unfamiliar with
Fear
 of what is unknown
 of what is unique
This
 this is the way of most

Hush folds over the garden; something unseen rearranges ligt.
Shadows lean in unfamiliar angles listening for a name.
By nightfall, even the world knows--a presence has stepped through the veil.

Beware of Dog

My 
Master 
knows 
I'm 
faithful 
and 
true
In 
guarding 
his 
house 
day 
and 
night,
I 
bark 
at 
the 
unknown 
and 
unfamiliar
And 
run 
after 
'he 
thieves 
on 
sight.

Seeking the Infinite Soul

Into the brave new world
I (not so) boldly go
Staring into the sun
And jumping at shadows
Stumbling over my own feet
Down an unfamiliar road
Fumbling towards ecstasy
Seeking the infinite soul

Within the depths
of micro-molecular brain

I wonder how come
you call and I answer.

Oh, for those that are unfamiliar with me, I often lie about the form... sorta.... Namaste~N

Unfamiliar Airspace

Will you teach me
how to fly a helicopter ?
I know I'm afraid of heights
but I've been in that much
unfamiliar airspace recently
that one more wont matter.

Love is Unfamiliar

You bend me, twist me, break me
In unfamiliar ways
All pleasure no pain
You soft as petal, you light as a feather
Unhoused me
You have my body, my flesh and bones
I must now build a home in you

Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Flag

Unfamiliar flag,
It's up and down
Today I saw it
Weeping on its knees.
Murmuring students
Hold tears, someone
Else is dead again
The university mourns.
Death, why in our abundance
Is your harvest so rich?

Premium Member clunky chunky words

clunky chunky unfamiliar words
not easily understood due to their tweets and pops
shoving themselves against my dendrite highway
hidden yet acutely felt
dancing the brain Watusi 
I wonder if I will ever write again

Pondering

waves
going up
and down.

soft
footsteps on
the ground.

unfamiliar
empty
space.

ocean
spray on
my face.

water
skimming
my bare feet.

two
lovers
never meet.

broken
shards of
my heart.

all my
life is this
of part.
