surreal poetry

Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.

The Lost & Lonely Ones
The Lost & Lonely Ones By: Karlton A. Armistad [To those living & dealing with Long-term Anxiety & Depression] 1. Feeling, your heated heart hammering against a very tense and captive rib-cage, touched and tantalised by this amazing awakening. You know the thing.....yes that Thing. The ‘one’ that magical mesmerising movies say happens and leads to happily ever-after. We all crazily chase it, some stupidly fake it, but it’s treacherously true. We all want to fall in love.

Ready or Not
The forests are all dead. The green is gone, no birds of song. Lighting strikes all night. Don't go out unless you have to.

My One Wish This Christmas By: Karlton A. Armistad [Dedicated to the end of a very turbulent 2020] 1. My one wish this Christmas Day, is for every child to no longer know suffering anywhere in the world. It’s a tall order as it covers many borders, sons and daughters but that is my One Wish.

My Love
My Love By: Karlton A. Armistad [Dedicated to Single People on Valentines 2021] 1. Long, smooth chocolate legs, bold eyes and the warmest smile I have ever known. Locks a mix of thick, thin and long with a history of mystery stored under this tapestry of maturity, how is it I took so long to find you?

Somewhere to Belong
Somewhere To Belong By: Karlton A. Armistad [In Tribute to my Fight to settle in the Scottish Highlands] 1. Running; constantly running for so-so long; that walking a calm path seemed crazy, impossible… almost unbelievable. A split moment; a breaking point saw me board a train and then another watching hills become mountains; seas to lochs and majestic streams of pure clear Scottish brooks. I fell in love I guess, and when I arrived in the quiet little village; I realised I had closed a chapter in my life, and entered a new journey to peace and simplicity, where would rise a bright blue moon.

Possession
The Possession... It is here ... can you feel it? The dead, their whispers, icy fingers along my spine. I am in and out of reality and the "Other World" through out my day.

undulating lights cling to this trail's wood, as cedars blow a scent like sawdust with muggy blur my eyes widen with silhouette orange,

Movement Through Space
Candy wrappers littering a sunny street, trees denuded of leaves, the smell of dead fish, seaweed, and polluted mud, an art gallery, the stuff of dreams
