"reactivated" poems
You hear it
Outside your room,
Almost like a whisper.
You lean closer
Knowing no one else is home.
All night
Things have been
Out of place:
Moved, scattered, tampered
Destroyed.
You keep looking
Over your shoulder.
Is someone there?
You ask yourself.
But only darkness
Awaits your gaze
Until now...
A figure, almost golden
Yet, you know you are alone
Only the stranger outside your room.
Again, you lean closer,
The breathing now a faint whisper:
"Reactivated"
The voice says
As you turn on your flashlight.
Shia surprise
He lunges towards you.
Slamming the door,
You are now safe
From Shia Labeouf

As the rain persisted the waters soon rose
never so much fallen before.
No records showed that much flowed
penetrating the deep caverns.
Disturbing what should be left in the dark
the outcome would be stark!
*********** of the deepest levels went critical
awakening creatures from sleep.
Pressure pushing them into the underground rivers
guiding them ever upwards.
Wakening from their long forced hibernation
this deeply buried alien creation!
Fearsome! ****** into our world by the floods
able to swim to catch their prey!
The torrential rains causing such destruction
would be facing a new predator!
But for the rain would not have been freed
allowing the slaughter to proceed!
What would be discovered in the coming days
they were robotic beings!
Indestructible an advanced force that crashed
into deep caverns millenniums ago!
Their functions disengaged until the floods came
reactivated our destruction their aim!
Decimated by natures fury resistance was zero
those not drowned or starved.
Were obliterated by these mechanical marauders
their civilisation no longer existed.
They were the last of their immense soulless kind
our fates to the end entwined!
That day the rain and floods came!
The Foureyed Poet.

I looked at you, appraisingly
And felt very little,
Could even call it nothing.
How could all those feelings disappear – and where are they now?
Lying dormant, waiting to be reactivated
By your hungry, longing glance?
Or gone forever, welcome realisation
Prompting utter disregard?
My inspiration has fled with the feelings,
So bring back the longing,
The anger, the aching, and the angst.
I cannot lose
My one and only muse.

Sockets laying low, like a swing with to much rusted chain.
Corneas harshened with florescent grass viridescent and sky aquamarine.
Snout pointy as the tip of a lustrous knife silver blade, and facing diagonal like a canon before fire.
Two ample, pale, cushions, keeping guard about my mentum.
Little brown chocolate chips, melting upon every inch and centimeter on my countenance.
A mane full of lingering threads colored chestnuts.
Physique of Irish, pure skin filled with angel kisses.
Two stubby branches hanging in action, waiting to be reactivated.
And two vertically challenged limbs, pudgy and not operational.
My presence, positioned vertical, gazing into a transparent sea of glass.

I will not be disturbed by this mother of three.
I will ignore her Cheshire makeup,
her matching white tennis club outfit,
and her wild dreams of a life on Mars.
I will do this because she is what I am not--
she is a ghost,
while I am free.
I see her in the stratos,
I see her in the sky.
I see her in the people,
I see her in my mind.
I am made of crooked a l p h a b e t soup and
I have seen the mother of death and rebirth and
understanding.
I have faced her in her milk cart prison,
and I have dreamed of her shining yesteryear.
For there is more than alphabet s o u p in the can.
There is a flood of m e m o r i e s reactivated by the
breaking of a
mental dam.
Now I see that I am aging swiftly and poorly,
for my years have escaped me,
and have long been forgotten.
Farewell, Stanley Elementary School;
So long, Marblehead Charter;
I remember you in J e w i s h tones
and chlorine-crusted c h a i n l i n k fences.
But a f r e s h s u n
s l o w l y r i s e s, my dear,
and I k n o w
that I m u s t
become
a peacock
once a g a i n.

On evening of the eighth day of August
under full moon
energies launched dreams.
Open window provided a soft breeze
Night birds chirped on their way to nest.
Silken sheets gave comfort
catapulting me into dreamscape.
Perfect time for spirt to give its message.
I drifted in a infinity portal
A place where loves light shinned.
Leo’s lion stood at golden gate
ushering me gracefully
Suddenly with flash of moons light
alone I was not.
A lion golden and regal appeared at bedside.
He slowly walked around bed
as my eyes merged with his
as our eyes traveled
opening path of communication.
His words were strong and simple
elegant and wisdom filled.
It said, "
You have a magnanimous heart,
use it.
You are powerful and meant to
have abundance,
trust it.
You are now reactivated to recall
who you are,
know it.
You are now in the Leo Lion’s Gate for access to the knowledge,
the Golden Age of Consciousness, bath in it.
It is my gift to humanity, celebrate it."
When breath was taken to align with his words,
he vanished.
Leaving his roar that became mine, behind.
Leaving me to share his wisdom with the world.

White as a sheet ghostly color,
sans countenance of mine
impossible to differentiate between
Lenovo external screen background
myopia no deterrent as jaw slackened
upon Citizens Bank notification
current spate of ill health
(relentless stomach virus)
triggered emotional state
Kamikaze nose dived
into forbidding deathwish
gastrointestinal Civil War
relentlessly raged kickstarting
linkedin body, mind, spirit
emergency necessitating transfer of funds,
and/ or anonymous philanthropic injection
to staunch, stave, and stay hemorrhaging,
whereby checking account
beyond restoration, sans life support
heroic measures sense (cents) less,
now, mine entire being
excruciating figurative explosion,
viz rapidly fired projectile
as if "FAKE" mandibles bit the bullet
self destruction declaration reactivated
casus belli (caused by ache'n belly)
just on cusp of recovery
succumbed to lowest record nadir
kindling, sparking, and whip sawing
plea for salvation or termination,
mine abysmal ad hoc existence
evincing illogic, quixotic, tragic...
charade, facade, masquerade, et cetera
accursed woe synonymous with Sisyphus
condemned to Hades exhausting
arduous, laborious, torturous... punishment
social security disability deposit
congenital schizoid personality disorder
attendant anxiety, obsessive/ compulsive
disorder, panic marginally tempered
asper prescription medication
as each day of destitution,
offers smidgen alleviation!
