Synapses Poems

Snakelike writhing twisting clenching soul pain.
Shooting needles crystal shards sharp and fine
Blame shame there is no gain along this vein
Mundane challenge gives no freedom to chime.
Music slowing, life blind with mist and fogs
brain seize, monochrome visions seep inside.
Lone in self,...Read More

suddenly a spark

from nowhere an idea

synapses ignite.

Karma incarnate

Symbolize synapses
refrain recreate
Blades of grass
Cannabolize compliance
Unions unite
Tongues of trauma 
Ignited ironies
Cycle compromises 
Earth and Sky
Nuisance nefarious 
Babel blessings
Kingdoms of self
Tetrahedron tongues
Idiom intrigue 
Scythe of time
Wakes within
Primal pentagons 
Minutes of minuscules
Frequent furtherings
Amock amiables
Omens of obsession 
Useless understoods
Dogmatic dharma
Wanting of whispers
Eccentric...Read More

Two bodies glue together as one,
Cold shivers vibrated through my spine,
As our lips were locked in position,
Like two opposite poles of a magnet with strong attraction,
My heart beats faster than a racing car,
Light transformed by whole body to synapses of...Read More

Shoot, girl ...
          You spin my synapses like a sugar rush

      It is  difficult  to climb
     on the scale of life,
    much easier is
    descending the stairs
    of the cliff...Read More

Thoughts awaken thoughts 
Gunfire in synapses 
Sparks speaking to sparks 
Unseen ,  unheard
A distant herd
Always too far from comprehension 

What matters ,  what doesn’t 
The inbetween
What’s on the left ,  what’s on the right 
What’s on the...Read More

not being
able to tell
if dusk's veil 
is ascending
or are my 
eyes 

slowly
closing
intending
to take me
beyond 
returning

from dreams
of happy
madness
making me
not able to
retrieve

the sanity
that wasn't
even granted
to me in those
supposed
childhood

blisses of glee
intriguing me
to wonder
what they
were to
be

as my sister
invited me
to the table
with her
dolls and
dishes and

delicious
invisible
tea...Read More

sometimes I wish to cut myself open
just to see what is hidden inside
how lucky I am
even Jack the Ripper would bypass me
that's how lucky I am
but I wish to see
what am I made of
what's so heavy inside 
that keeps my...Read More

If I weren't afraid I'd still turn the lights on to keep the closet monster on his toes. I'd dangle my feet teasing the gremlin "hiding" under my bed. If I weren't afraid I'd throw off my covers and go...Read More

Cold hands of the doctor in gloves and mask
lay her on the hard surgical metal table.
A numb sensation travels down arm to wrist.
Sedation spreads to an EGREGIOUS sin. 
Breathing deep through monitored heart rate
eyelids weigh down in heavy haze.
Frills of...Read More

Nirvana awaits dada dear
thine paternal parent,
who helped sire yours truly,
a widower these
last fourteen plus years,
he laments absence,

and sorely misses presence
regarding scatterbrain spouse,
single word description,
he would readily concur
appellation linkedin with
bubbly headed just legal bride

born November thirteenth
ninety thirty five
learned thru the grapevine
(I...Read More

The logic of life…
  illogically pure

In search of itself,
  last problem to cure

Synapses relapse,
  science reclaims

The form with the formula,
  washed down the drain

Structural weakness,
  obsolescence defined

The clocks after midnight,
  forever to chime

With finality’s...Read More

When you sort decades of electric cables from that box hidden away

It reminds of disentangling neurons haphazardly fired at random

	It’s a beautiful day and you’re in it among sea saw and hammer


Hundreds of screws in the tool box and all...Read More

An old friend of mine
Keeps paying me visits
in the early hours of the morning when the dogs bark

It's 5am
And she's here now
Swirling her pale finger through my hair,
trampling mud through my trembling synapses

She traces over my scars, smiling
She reels the...Read More

He was caught in a mine of a mind in reprisals admonitions and self-reproach 

Had been looking for diamonds and gold but then the escape shaft caved in

Gotten shafted and the stake stuck like an iron rod from rock bottom...Read More

Konrad’s hoover hovers from wall to wall in the back room of his mind

A partial vacuum once the power switch is on and all neurons are firing

Time for a good clean up the curtains have been drawn for far too...Read More

He asked me, “So what are you into now?”
While I was already envisioning scripts to piece
Inside my head, 
With the silence in between his lips
Sketched like woven thread 
My oh my, how he had no idea 
That clairvoyance is my...Read More

Order ...

"you're extremely attractive" a moth said to a flame
"and if I fly closer, please tell me your name".
but the fire just flickered while the moth's passion grew
and blinded by love towards the flame the moth flew
till his port wing was...Read More

Cool, they describe you
Yet your energy is vigorous, enduring
Short, compact waves of intense photon packages
Dancing on the retina in steady, fluid rhythm

A clear language of light, translated to the synapses
As a pleasing, enigmatic dialect of compelling emotion
Tiny molecules of air...Read More

Apart from my Reason in all of my schemes:
I gave up pretending to live in Her dreams
My vexing ambition for solace had turned
By then, the intrigue of our love brightly burned

Our hearts were pretenders which writhed in the dust
From Love...Read More

Thunder and lighting 
Not even closely describe
my brewing synapses 
that I have inside
Light flashes with the power of a sonic boom
Deafening my senses senses
Shaking the room...Read More

What separates a blooming rose from dead seed in a field? 
It's life! It's life, no man defines, creation's child and yet
The empty page, a piece of wood, a marble slab can yield, 
An art that bends the heart to...Read More
