Shorting Poems


Put the Fire Out

Wow! babe, this is as hot as I've ever felt
Hurry, put these flames out before I melt
Stop teasing me darling, with your body so mesmerizing
Seems like forever, for this moment I've been fantasizing 

Mercury is rising and soon, I will surely explode
Pulse and breathe quickening, need to unload 
Your sweet body I lust and even more require
Only thing now, that can put out this raging fire

May be cold outside and the rain is still drizzling
Steamy here in the bedroom, it's certainly sizzling 
Every time you touch my body it is so electrifying
Please douse these flames now I need satisfying 

Hot passionate kisses with our tongues entangled
Set me on fire just like you were lighting a candle
Sparks are flying, shorting out my vital components
Not much longer can I take these melting moments

We need to make love right now, I think we oughta
Otherwise you'll need to go and get a bucket of water
Have teased me so long now darling, it is surely a sin
Time to put out the fire and let the lovemaking begin

You Might Ask Yourself Why

Perpendicular to the day and the 
horizon looks no nearer than the day 
before a yesterday, 
am I moving 
or is this spinning just a symptom of 
something my mind can't touch upon?

If looking inward is the answer and the universe 
spreads before me is this darkness just a sea that I can't see?

when I drop and swallow atoms is it stardust that flows through me 
and are light years truly lighter than the years I carry with me?

It's a circuit and I'm shorting 
getting caught in the minutiae 
where eventuality and I will 
meet head on.

The time lapses delay me on the way 
to self discovery,
but the spark flies ever upward 
perpendicular to the day.

Sad Bad Mad Poem

I've got a poem,
its really rather sad,
I learned it many years ago,
From my dad,

Its all about a person,
that's very very glad
who had invented a new thing
that became an instant fad

It meant he got loads of money
and he bought a lovely pad
and loads of hot women
would pop round in a tad

But then one day
He acted like a cad
and his life it all went wrong
now hes a lonely lad

so never count your chickens
in a coop you never had
because one day you may be penniless
and you may well turn mad

this bloke he lost his marbles
ran around shorting loud, "Egad!"
now he is in desperation
gone to Syria, for Jihad.

Short Stuff

You can short yourself
You can keep shorting yourself!
You can make it short...

Ghosts

A shadow of a family
Sits, lumping on our couch
Watching TV with mindless eyes
Occasionally letting a few words out

The lines that bind together
Lie about on the ground like jump ropes
They’re always in the way
Tripping up dreams and shorting out hopes

Every emotion results in a trip
The kitchen holds our sleeping pills
We are cannibals who ravage our own souls
Unaware of what we’ve just killed

When shadow touches skin
An unholy shiver acknowledges the split
Broken bits lie behind beauty
Our reality is a switchboard with connectors that never fit.

Note: This was a poem I wrote 3 days before I left my husband of 14 years (16 at divorce).

Time To Rise!

WAKE-UP SLEEPING FRIEND, 
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, 
TIME TO RISE FROM THE ASHEN, 
LIKE PHOENIX THE MYTHICAL BIRD. 

BASE OF CHEMATICS, 
HACKING INTO YOUR SYSTEM. 
WAR-MINDED TACTICS, 
POWERS QUICK TO CONDENM. 
RISING EMINENT-DOMAIN, 
POOR FAMILIES' GRIEF. 
MAN-MADE ACID RAIN, 
FOOLS CRAVE FOR RELIEF. 
CYBERNETIC CONSPIRACIES, 
PURE POLITICAL JARGON. 
MILITANT MERCENARIES, 
MISSING CRUCIAL CALLING. 
MIGHTY STANDING REGALS, 
ALIEN DOMINATION. 
UNLOCKING HIDDEN POTENTIALS, 
MONUMENTAL MISSION. 
FLUNKIES' VOICE RESONATE, 
EQUAL WAGES DENIED. 
MASTERMINDS ENERVATE; 
LESS-FORTUNATES' PRIDE. 
SHORTING INNOVATIVE STOCKS, 
DISHONEST INVESTORS. 
SUDDEN MAJOR GRIDLOCKS, 
POWERS EVIL GESTURES. 
FACING DREADED BLIND WALL, 
WHO WILL PASS THROUGH? 
SPEAKING OF PROTOCOL, 
MAYBE IT'S ME AND YOU. 

WAKE-UP SLEEPING FRIEND, 
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, 
TIME TO RISE FROM THE ASHEN, 
LIKE PHOENIX THE MYTHICAL BIRD.

Combination Lock

I'm trying to figure my life out
It's like a combination lock 
That I don't have the code to
With every turn I gain a little hope
But every time I pull to open 
It's still shut
And my hope is lost
I'll stay untill I get it right
I wont give up hope on this lock
This is crazy my chance is slim
There's so many combinations
And I haven't a clue were to begin
My patients is shorting
Is it worth the struggle
Am I wasting my time
On this life of mine
Would someone please help
Figure out the combination to this lock
On this life of mine

I Am Here For You

When, life gives all you can take and the loads to heavy to take. I am here to 
lessing the load and carry it with you.
When, your days seam to long and troubled. I'll be here to shorting and make a 
happy day for you.
When,your nights are long and restless. I'll be here to fill your nights with 
tenderness and watch over you.
When, you feel your hopes and dreams aren't coming true. I'll be here to help 
make each one come true for you.
When, you feel no one really cares for you. I am here caring and loving you.
When,you feel your heart has no Love too give or receive. Look around , I am still 
here for you. 
When, life isn't with you by your side, I'll always be here for you.
When, every moment of your life is filled with pleasured and dreams. I was 
always standing here for you.
I will always be close to you for Loving you and filling each of your needs. 
Because, as your mother i will always be here for you.
