Long Decompress Poems

Why am I missing you in Wyomissing

In Wyomissing where WiFi waves warp Whitman's words
I'm wiki-wishing scrolling through digitized déjà vu
Mississippi .mp3s Mississauga .gifs Missy Elliott remixes
Mishmash of missed   misplaced hyperlinks missing persons

Y-chromosomes yearning...

On asphalt, wet with blood and sweat (down streets with no address), 
there lay a man, snuffed by the Man and left to evanesce.
The Man then strode along the road and smiled at his success
and,...

I’m contemplating braces 
My belts don’t seem to work
They just don’t seem to get a grip
Now I’m of a certain girth 

I shop at Marks and Spencer’s 
I like their thermal vests 
I bought a...

My love you left me far out west,
   I knew our love would be a test,
      before you leave, one last request,

The limb elongates in the bodies flayed attempt at survival.
Internal struggle, intelligently struggling in the maintaining of oxygen in a Bold  yet desperate display. Feeble gravities
Lunging, Lurching behind from within where wheels turn till...

A bore hole of fantasy once you dig deep in your mind

					Ennui converts into Feng Shui

All you need is a dustpan and brush to sift through your pain

				Some archaeological DIY tools

Become a geologist and mine...

cosy and cooing, nestled up with kin
you'd think it'd stop bad thoughts getting in
but I step off to the side, get isolated
start overthinking, get quite captivated 
it's like I'm an expert on self attack
set my...

I wonder how someone can love you and say goodbye
My heart appears to be broken I think I could cry
Moment just come to pass another day goes by
I look inside heart at the pieces that...

Sunday’s an auspicious day to suggest
that you, as a student, take a recess
In order to try and decompress
from our studying and stress

Now, of course, if you’re so possessed,
or some might even say obsessed,
you could study...

caught in an octopus’ arms

rip tide of tentacles

underwater currents

the black ink indelible

syphoned protection

can’t see the circling sharks

in my cocoon of false shadows

a surreal embrace

suction caps in action

in surprise

that it is me who

holds on for dear...

 Invitation to visit Olympus
Predestined noble affair
Feeling extremely timorous
But, Apollo will be there.

Anticipation is killing me
To think I'll meet immortals
Thrilling thought, smiling glee
Seeking Olympus portal.

Riding high on Nimbus Express
There's no other way to travel
Except I...

Dawn crests the peaks of barren refuse, enthralling masses and demanding rations of passion from muck

Stuck into walls, hanging out halfway, suspended by calls of anguish and hate

-

Little does it matter for our pain and...

Just sitting, sipping tea with the Moon; 
Across she glows in her party dress,
I send my dreams up on a balloon; 

With each soft gaze ideas are strewn; 
Under this sky it’s easy to decompress,...

Can I rest?
That's the quest
Most of us are addicted to stress
Which helps when things are next, next, next
But when they slow down life's a mess

Why the later I go to sleep, the earlier I wake
Everything...

It's the weekend and time to decompress 
Hopped on the boat and out to sea I went
Gone fishing out of Montauk New York
In the Atlantic Ocean 

With just perfect wind and right tide 
And beautiful...

This damned domain of dominoes destined to fall
This doddering diatribe deliberately designed
This dwelling damp as deadwintered Darlington
This deeper dream of dungeons and dragons

This desperate dirge of dying deliberations
This drum droll as December’s daylight done
This decorated...

The sound of a cow peeing
is the wettest sound, let go

like a bucket slush on a barn slab
or so my grandfather used to

say. When my son comes home
I hear his fire hose upstairs

and remember how...

Too much of everything
Nothing simple anymore
News channels obsolete
Opinions galore

Grocery stores sell it all
Not a thing one of a kind
Now even apps for that
Decisions all the time

Factor in time constraints 
It has to be this minute
The...

An ambition engaged in every root of our hearts,
Blue and brown irises' voyage soon departs . . .
Caressing each other's serene souls to slowly decompress;
Admiration speculates a versatile we never suppress,
Adoration mesmerizes the tranquility of...

It's deep blue, we're submerged
Thoughts are bubbles, feelings purged
It's short term memory, life span
Repeating circles, since time began
We're wrong place, right plane
Shafts of dark, but light remains
Labrynthine world, yet open space
Blind eye staring blind eye...
