Short Zoning Poems

I approached her slowly watching her eyes
We finally locked in trance
Zoning in our passion

Wanderlust could find my 
eternal love.
In the deep blue sky,
stars of the mystery land entered
my dusky eyes...
Zoning out into the blank space
-the greatest black hole;
could be my path 
"to the parallel universe."...

sitting here zoning out 
not able to concentrate
on anything at the moment 
lost interest in whatever it 
was that i was doing earlier 
now my mind is wondering 
through a foggy minded reality
with only a faint light guiding my 
way through the sea of fog...

Boldly striking icy and white
Layering and building piles of snow  
Intensely stacking to block all site  
Zealously covering all with each blow
Zoning in to place the powder left to right
As high winds strengthen to continue this fight
Raging, destroying and yet leaving an ominous glow
Deceiving with the quiet calm of this mighty foe...

Busy square around me sucking me inside
Keeping me from seeing what's on the outside
Building shell surrounds me squared off like a hide
Standing on a corner; a square; a block; that's wide

Quilted district patterns are mapped across the land
while larger squares protruding shows zoning had a hand
Suburbs of the city squaring boundaries they have spanned
When all that's left are gullies squared by nature that are fanned....

Always running
Bringing pain
Can’t keep it inside
Don’t let it out
Everything hurts
Falling into darkness
Going nowhere
Hopelessly lost
Incapable of feeling
Joy or sorrow alike
Killing oneself
Losing all
Make it stop
Nothing can help
Other than death
Put me out of misery
Questioning everything
Returning to the past
So much heartbreak
Totally numb
Under a cloud
Violence inside
Worsening each day
X on yourself
Yelling in silence
Zoning out...

Soon, the instincts that kept us drawn,
Excitedly, will all be chased.
Xenophiles, that are of your case,
Uncover thoughts that have been spawned.
Aggressive measures, that are fawned,
Lead to times that we can not waste,
Issolating ourselves on base,
Zoning out until the next dawn.
As this preliminary play
Touches you in all the right spots,
Initiate love the right way,
Overtly taking the right shots.
Now, you are ready for the lay,
Sweating the words that got you hot....

Articulate,
Becoming,
Circumnavigate,
Discerning,
Extrapolate,
Finishing,
Graduate,
Hoping,
Inaugurate,
Joking,
Karate,
Loving,
Mitigate,
Needing,
Operate,
Praying,
Quadruplicate,
Reaping,
Summate,
Trying,
Ultimate,
Vetting,
Workmate,
Xeroxing,
Zoning.

If I had to choose one above all others apart from Loving it would be extrapolate because to be able to extrapolate gives one  a chance to see what is likely to happen further down the road if nothing changes....

Over beneath the height of time
People desire so much more
Then the small amounts you have
They won’t cut it today for sure
Hoping everything will work out
Through the bag-less heart of yours
Zoning out I cannot see it all
Don’t play me the fool, I am not
Secrets I desire to learn are all about you
Catch the hours before end time
And I’ll complete what it is you want
For I’ll be in the common room
Awaiting your fruitful heart
Inside, there’s what is left of me
