"retype" poems
Retype number 3,018--
I don't really think I've written
this many entries for just one poem
it's a beam of light that
scores my thoughts
and begins to type across this board
but in the end
it was a refraction of shadows
hinting at another dream
because these ramblings of another world
are the minds way of scrambling
to form new words
and convey our Neverland
that we've Neverfound
Scented candles add an extra burst
of enthusiasm to wander this page a little longer
because they are my witness
that even Evergeen Woods
have some Cinnamon Bark hidden in them.
the candles are made of wax
and when I pour myself to sleep
perhaps our wicks stay lit
or do we fiddle away
with our dreams.

Relive the moment
Re-read The history
Repent from the past
Reiterate the words
Rethink the logic
Remember the hardships
Restrain The inscurites
Rewrite The map
Retype the joy
Reassure the foundation
Recite the goals
Re-do the next day

I do love coffee
I have it every morning
Don't like toffee
or anything!
The morning coffee
Retype every nerve
Even at the work coffee
Helps to serve!
Usually, I have coffee
Twice a day
Mainly I need coffee
With the early ray!
I don't like coconuts
Menudo and toffee
But I like chocolates
Less than coffee…

I have so much to learn
Yet so little to share with the world
Therefore,
As I type and retype these words,
I question the direction- as well as motive
When the sun peers through the mustered drapes
My heart collapses, and my body once more refuses to rise
If past is any indication of the future
Then I'm in for hell
Pain is exponential
And so are the years that flutter continually by
The life I once had dreamed of
I now must ordeal
My home is under the covers of a weathered blanket
-the sound of classical bellowing from a table, not far yonder
And as I work and wonder at the world
I count down the days to an inconceivable dream
Let me share with you something; ever so true
No emotional pain surpasses that of someone who dwells utterly alone
We are social creatures
And without a friend or family member worthy of mention in the world,
It is a struggle within itself to be alive
May it be then, that my prayers for a relative happiness be answered
and that with you, the deep peace of fallen dreams be ignited by the flames of love

TODAY.
Abs_nce (e)
missing letters like missing
words,
like missing faces,
we don’t talk the way we used to,
and I am momentarily saddened by old songs,
and a dying keyboard,
as I retype the word,
“today”
like a fish gasping for air,
but still no water rushes in,
no swift tide,
to carry my heart
away.

Strong Man
Sleep sound, dream sweet dreams
A strong man at the switch
Trouble no more, all peaches and cream
A strong man with an itch
Head for the mall, work on your tan
A strong man has your back
When things go south, he has a plan
A strong man, to tyranny he’ll tack
Blow it up, the whole things broken
A strong man lights the fuse
The will to fix? You must be joking
A strong man wins, we lose
Feel free to retype and add a verse, or write new verses using the same title and pattern.

Free ride
Fried to the core inside
Tried
To make me more afraid
Hide
Frightened of what might come out
Doubt
Mortified
To make me feel certified
In and out my life
I’m alright
And fine
Okay
K
I’m not
And yet keep telling
Repeating
How am I doing?
Answers
That I cannot retype
Words
I can’t rejoice
The noise (wake up)
That sounds so familiar
Memories
Clogging
Jamming (wake up)
Pounding
Banging
Slamming
What’s happening?
Brain was melting (wake)
Breaking
Freak train back on track (up)
Breathing
Steadily back and fourth
Steadily back and fourth
Rocking
Eyes slowly open
I peak
I blink
At last
It’s finally morning.
