Tranquilized Poems | Examples

I Wonder

"mOnce I sat down
With all my frustrations,
With the desperation to murder each inhibition living
nowhere but within me,
It would have been nice if I had a knife
However, weapons weren't lethal enough to put the
inhibitions down.

Sitting there, wanting to cause harm to these demons,
My eyes fell on a thin white sheet of plant fibre,
Along with it was a innocuous object, that’s what I
thought.
Picking these objects with no expectations at all, I
poured all of myself into the sheet through this object
of different shades,
To my surprise, it frightened all the demons or
probably tranquilized them.
That was the time I sat, With all my frustrations
And Found something to control them with,
to frighten them with.
I guess I had a shield now.

Again, I am sitting, With some of my frustrations.
With the desperation to murder the rest of inhibitions,
Perhaps I enjoyed slaughtering these demons with
something so ordinary,
But I wonder if I have over-exploited the only guard I
had.
Or my womb of ideas has gotten barren.
Now, I am as clueless as before. Did it change
anything at all?
I wonder and I wonder and I wonder."

A Pond's Melody

          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.

Love VI

 Fervent  rainbows vow to deck
 a gloomy, woeful moon 
with merriness and blissfulness.
 Whispered dreams of virtue
triumph over a murky ,
desultory  brook.
The serene , meandrous 
butterfly  is rocked by  
an ephemeral  , passing
chimera.
 An angelic  ,tranquilized petal
 resides in the realm  of 
melodious ,  
gracefulness.
Whispers  of lovely  rose
dwell in  a tempestuous,
ardent  sea.
The symphonic melody
of an unchanging
stork's felicity
overshadows the unflagging
hawk's power.
Delightful sunbeams echo
the unafraid, doughty  breath
 of a sedate chrysanthemum.
                            .

Peace Be To God

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.

They Healed a Dying Oak

Once upon an autumn eve,
faeries danced among the leaves
of a great old oak, deep in the woods,
that sits behind my neighborhood.

So delicate, these sprites, they be,
an enchanting vision’s what I see.
luminescent in the full moon’s light,
lovely little twinkling lights.

Like dancers around the maypole, they
sang and danced, in a charming way.
Their tiny voices, barely heard;
no other life there, even stirred.

Ethereal chanting, tranquilized me,
while they healed an old oak tree.
Vibrations swift, in woodfae song,
fairy medicine, it is quite strong.

Halloween Fright Night

It is a black, moonless night; bleak and barren
the desert landscape is alien with twisted cacti shapes. 
Elongated shadows fall upon fresh blood kill, with gapes
a cautionary reminder of coyotes, or were they vampires?

The mind can play its trickery when it is terrified...
...a wrenching sound, a blinding light, a sinister abduction. 
Tranquilized and paralyzed, I falter as I lay
exhausted and helpless on this cursed Halloween night. 

How can I escape these terrors from without and within?
Will howling werewolves be feasting upon my flesh tonight? 
I hear the wind whipping through the diabolical world 
of devils and demons
I cannot escape, I am woefully undone...
... until I am startled awake by my dog’s sticky tongue!

Shameless Moon

Moon standing in the dark edge
Of the skyways
Like a shameless whore
Waiting for someone
To be swept by love and lust
Falls her tender beauty
On my bathtub filled with
The crystal clear water
Tranquilized like drunken
Changing itself into mirror
In which her sublimed shadow
Whirled by the whisper of wind
Blurred by the soapy fizzes
Sunken beneath the waves.

With cosmic clouds
Ravished by her unlike beauty
In sheer lunacy turned me down
Like that my mind is drained
As brittle as dry ice on my flesh
Like the dyeing embers
Of smouldering pyre
Every word of my poems
Seemed full of clichés.

I Need Not You

Look
I am good in this garden of love
in this  world, tranquilized breeze, rhythmic flowing river,
in this melodious tone of cowboys flute, birds chirping
in this monsoon rains, falling snowy evening, 
I am good alone

No, do not need
No, do not need your warmth kiss, hug
Do not need your rosy night, moonlit bed
Do not need your candle light fragrant room 

Here, Look I am good alone
The entire nature is my friend
The butterfly, bee, flowering mountain,
the crystal fountain all are my friend
I am alone good with them


I you want to come 
I let you come but not to me
I let you come to see the wall which I built for you
to see the thorns which I care on the rose garden
to see the fire flame which I burnt for your coming path
because when I wanted to give my whole you then you went to another
and now when the expected one has gone then you want to come to me

So, I need no you
I am good alone

Without You

I am tranquilized smoke of the tired compulsion
I am cigarettes cinder hidden into the ashtray
I am the priceless cover of the old wine bottle
I am the strayed love child lying in the dark innards of night
In legitimacy, I am lost civilized

Even then I am the width path into the true self
The sovereign free sky of the field, destination, continual traveler
I seek the path differently

In the night darkness, in the alone silent light
crying out to find me,
Nothing I find in this emptiness
Oath on the name of Your Mercy
Without You, I do not find any way

A Lull

I lay me down in the land of a languorous lull,
A leisurely liaison laxing amidst the silenced still…
No weeping words wander upon the constructive canvas.

The day mourns the nebulous neglected nestled night,
Where the shadows sustain the seductive sorrows…
Condolences for a candlelight as it flickers to foreordination.

Where empty echoes escape through voiceless vapors,
A quiet quiescence quivers as it lies to its rendering riotous rest…
And a calamitous calm causes a chaotic caliginous collective.

A suspended soothe within the overlords of obstinate oblivions,
As tranquilized time is transported to a pensive purgatory prison…
I prepare for the heavens and hells that await my misled muse.



...there has been an anomaly in the space-time continuum...my muse has reached a lull...perhaps this verse will give it spark to ignite it to Super-Nova status lol...

Catbird Seat

A good view. The traffic and wind careen.
The highway overpass vibrates. Suicide starts
to sing, a wind-dervish rattling thin mantis limbs.

On the branches of peripheral nerves, small birds
stretch plasma necks, warble high
in the catbird seat of her soul.

She thought about her soul. Only one invisible 
globule of it ever active, the rest tranquilized, 
a pool fed by absent-minded angels.

All this ugliness, the streams of cacophony,
the vaporous scar tissue of petroleum and rubber,
floats up as vivid bombinate blooms.

She breathes it all in, watching from a crows-nest
that sways leagues above her head.
She has dealt herself a spaced-out view, here
up in the air, her toes curling into concrete,
she sits back in the best chair of her vertigo,
and yells to all the passing, trafficking,
crud-burning speeders below –

“You’re all way too slow, for a catbird thought,
too lowdown for any wind-scattered moment.

We Are On Beach

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

Don'T Want An Infection

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.

Unruffled

UNRUFFLED 

Citadel on the rocky mountain stair
Stood gazing changing seasons in the air
Each passing year its bosom filled with tales of plenty shades
Of Knights, of Queens, of Foes, of Prince ,Of Comrades
The twilight swallowed into aimless dusky mope
The sunrise of success, the alpenglow of hope
The defeats, the dull spell like the melancholy of autumn
The phase of loneliness, feel of sinking to the bottom
The thunderstorm’s blitzkrieg of insults, insinuations
The snowflakes of blessings, blooming love sensations
The silvery shine of moon with its healing chime
The rainbow of celebrations manifesting change of time  
All these shades painted together a seasoned picture
To manifest into Unicorn with poise and graceful tincture
The reflection of which is unstirred in water crystal clear
For rifts are not let to surge , peace and purity is held dear
Internal ripples are tranquilized to welcome nights of calm
To drift the soul into peaceful slumber like a soothing balm!

Farther Than Daddy Thinks

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.
