Warp Poems

A warp in the fabric of time

a life so quickly passes
one blink and we can barely comprehend
~ the cycle in perpetual motion

Word-Weary

I don't choose the muse
the muse chooses me
but when I need her most
then whereabouts is she
abandoned and self-mocked
not word one could I pen
with writer's block
my fate cast to the wind
but if the wraith had knocked
as does opportunity
I couldn't tell
on the other hand
her silence rings a bell
so left to my own devices
of weft warp and weave
forged in fire ashes to ashes
dust from the stars
I perceived is what we are
and word-weary all I could conceive

James Montgomery Doohan

James Montgomery Doohan
was for the engineer part a shoo in
he was given a rank greater than ensign
and was always yelling I got nae power in me warp engines

Nuptial Time Warp

If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page

Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)

Time Warp

 The scars left by those yesterdays
 Leave her trapped in the past
 With a never ending pain
 As melancholy shadows are cast

 Her heart finds it hard to dance
 To the beat of love
 Memories leave her in confusion
 As she searches for elusive answers from skies above

 She seeks freedom from her illusions
 But she is trapped in a time warp
 where yesterdays always return
 and her tears never see to learn

Warp, Inc

I work for Warp
It’s a warporation
That builds for war
And our warring nation

Financed by banks
With no inclination
To give their thanks
For the world’s cremation

Wily banksters
Have mastered inflation
Besting gangsters’
Fake money creation

They were dead set
To make a cash fountain
That’s based on debt
Higher than a mountain

Which is a boon
For us workers at Warp
Where we’ve ballooned
Into a mega-corp

Yet have no fear
Unless you short our stock
If then, oh dear
We may blow up your block

Self Involved Warp of Coziness

each artist is working in their own world
they share a studio, but none are aware of others
they are in a self-involved warp of coziness
one with their canvas, paints calling to them
each one in a bubble of self-indulgence,
distracted by nothing, comfortable in their cocoon of art

Space-Time Warp

Immersed in a space-time bubble,
memory lost, soul’s in trouble,
for now it is entrapped therein,
knowing not how it may begin
to claw its way back into light,
without help of spherical sight,
with the only tool to access
is to opt for thought flow recess,
since silence restores cognition 
of it’s true self by ignition
of polarities within form,
manifesting a benign storm 
of bliss that transmutes every node,
as living light in God’s abode.

Time Warp

Loving you is like chasing a rainbow 
From many years ago 
When your existence began to show 
And my fate began to glow 

I wish to roll back the hands of my time 
And hold your clock still 
So our seasons will rhyme 
So do with what we feel

Warp Factor 3

Walking into something blinded by light
A painful and embarrassing experience
Remember that excessive speed can kill
Planets might be hidden at speed of light 

Forget the bright idea show intelligence
A vehicle which travels faster and faster
Cannot change direction in an emergency 
The light might be visible and also fluidic 
Obstructions dangers will always be solid
Remember law of physics can't be changed

Warp Factor 2

What is after speed of light is it darkness
At the very edge of our known universe
Reaching beyond our human endurance 
Please we want to take you to our leader

Facing a choice to return back to earth
Aliens came in peace but beat a retreat
Cause they couldn't understand humans
Terrorising each other because of greed
Oh the joy keeping to where they belong
Remember to watch your step being bold

Warp Factor

We boldly go where no one has gone before
All because we couldn't travel as fast as light
Remember that space is vast in all direction 
Power is necessary if we're to boldly go there

Firstly we left earth gravity then we see space
Acceleration is a key factor to space travelling
Collision inevitable due to flying debris around
To keep going forward knowing never to return
Our place is best to remain where we are now
Really why do we need to go beyond our earth

Time Warp

They say you can’t 
Go home again.
But I did. 
Not a good decision!
There’s a time warp
Between then and now. 
Things shrink in size.
Memories shatter
In the light of now.
Where is the couch I hid
Behind to read
So I didn’t have to
Go out and play?
Where is the tree I 
Loved to climb?

The people are gone.
The rooms are empty.
Even the shadows are gone.
No sense of the place
Where I grew up,
The one I remember.
Now my mind wrestles
With the warm 
And lovely
Pictures in my mind
And the harsher reality.
And I wish that
I had paid attention 
To that old adage
Because it’s true.

Welcome To the Time Warp

Welcome to the Time Warp

Does it seems that history seemingly repeats 
Where the simplicity of life is so rare to find
And the kindness of heart finds no retreats
No sharing of wealth, greediest of mankind 

Where fear amongst the masses abound
Perpetrated by forces designed to protect us
Where human rights are lost without a sound
Our way of life changed, forever superfluous 

Freedom of speech is silenced by the stroke of a pen
Unsure of what we’re told, will these lies never end
Being controlled by the wealthiest of businessmen 
And our losses of freedom too much to comprehend 

Welcome to the time warp, once again we all fall prey 
We become just pawns to an unjust power once again
Perhaps it’s time to take a stand, one voice have our say
The time has come to speak freely, if not now, then when

Time Warp With You Gone

and suddenly
i’ve stepped through
an archway

time caught in a loop
wallowing in slow motion

surreal day from night

the world turning
without you without me

and through an expanse of molasses
i muddle through

lost and alone while
i’m not sure at all where you’ve gone
