I see the wake
of what I look at
objects casting ripples
through the sea
of visual fields
like a boat or Nessy
cutting water
in zig zags
its trail allowing
secrets, coloured
kaleidoscope waves
rips and tears
peep holes no less
an honoured glimpse
into the mechanics
of reality, I hope
nobody up there
gets into trouble
for showing me
things they shouldn’t
how things are working
behind the scenes
Republican governors agree
Solving problems is not meant to be
Just take a peek
At Trump's technique:
And re-direct most maliciously
Good Morning Pain
Another day, Old Friend
Silent and invisible
Besides the cracking of my joints
and the pounding in my head
Every Day You And Me
I've grown tired of the misery
Its easier to sleep you away
At least I can't feel you then
But there you are the next morning
You follow me around
With claws in my shoulders and neck
And knives in my hips and back
Your murmurs sharp in my brain
I can't remember when I didn’t ache
When my head didn't throb
When my joints weren't sore
When I dreamt of dreams to achieve
Will you haunt me forever
This endless battle
Living or just existing
Goodnight Pain,
see you again tomorrow
Put a smile on your face
Walk into the light
Pretend it isn't blinding
Pretend it doesn't hurt
You have a job to do
You have no choice
Do your best to succeed
Don't cry about it
Put a smile on your face
Walk into the light
Pretend it isn't blinding
Pretend it doesn't hurt.
Will you come with me?
Are you really never going to leave my side?
Or my head as I say
Or maybe even my mind
Dark red
White
Flashes of orange
They are all too bright
Like an explosion in my eyes
Or in the front of my brain
You never leave me alone
Am I going insane?
Why don’t don’t you just go?
Aren't you tired of me?
I guess not I suppose
So I shall never be lonely
I try to sleep
And just drift away
Like a boat on the water
Misted with ocean spray
It will stay there until shipwrecked one day
Tears in my eyes
I know you will never leave me
Like a curse
You follow me
Like a shepherd and his sheep
With a faithful companion
Even into the fog
You’ll never leave me
Just like my dog
I dance to get rid
Of Migraines...to no avail
It enjoys the dance!! >:(
“Your quatrains are giving me migraines”
Think I just heard someone say
Sorry my good friends that's all I know
At the number of forms, I'm amazed
Could branch out, attempt something new
A style artsy fartsy and clever
But I get all sweaty at the thought of failure
So I stick to what I've known forever
This form has always been poetry to me
Since I was knee high to a grasshopper
Very famous bards have used other forms
Not this simple minded clodhopper
Some of us guys seem to like simplicity
And I'm about as simple as it gets
Maybe one day when I'm old and grey
Oops! I am! I tend to forget!

I always get them, vision blurred,
darkest room, blinds drawn, so absurd!
Family knows to tread lightly,
I'm wound up oh so tightly!
A wet cloth upon my head,
Imitrex is by the bed!
For days I lie there, sometimes asleep,
sometimes so frustrated, I simply weep!
I hate these migraines with a passion,
For more than a decade I have had them!
The restless mind needs a break
I wait and seek my tired berate
She slowly climbs into my mind
And cowardly reminds me of her kind
She lights a fire from within her sin
It starts so small and the vision begins
My eyes now shut in pondering stare
My cries now out while I feel her near
The web she weaves into my spine
Allows deceit to spin around
She climbs onto my visions of proud
And lays her eggs to spawn out loud
They seek and slither into my brain
Allowing the light to cause searing pain
I cry for her to stop her vein
She laughs and spins her web again
For hours this battle sees no end
Our scours believe their harm will mend
As she relieves my mind of torn
Her pain turns to numb my mind is born
A new
A new
She dies within you
M ake my head hurt
I t makes me vomit
G ot to go to bed
R age, Rage, Rage
A llows me no peace
I nsists on misery always
N ever lets me rest
E gads!!! Just shoot me
S ucks! Sucks! Sucks!
